Perhaps the two most important pieces of advice freshmen receive are to avoid dating people in their hall and to avoid citing Wikipedia in a paper for class. While the first is questionable, the second makes sense most of the time. After all, when the Benjamin Franklin statue in front of College Hall was renamed the "Liora Pollick Statue" on Penn's Wikipedia page, no one noticed for two months.

Senior cornerback Tyson Maugle broke his nose in three places during Saturday's win over Dartmouth and is officially considered a game-time decision for the Quakers' visit to Georgetown this weekend. A defensive captain and third-year starter, Maugle departed in the fourth quarter on Saturday after suffering the injury.

There's no doubt where the game ball went after Yale's 31-28 double-overtime victory over Holy Cross. Senior linebacker Bobby Abare, playmaker extraordinaire, did what he does best on Saturday - get the ball back to the Elis. Not only did the All-Ivy first-teamer lead his team in tackles with 10 (nine solo), but he also had two picks, both of which came at crucial times.

With 10 seconds left in Penn's 23-10 win over Dartmouth on Saturday, the Big Green offense took the field one last time - merely a formality. But quarterback Alex Jenny dropped back instead of taking a knee and was promptly sent to the turf by junior linebacker Jake Lewko.

Last Sunday's weekly meeting of the Undergraduate Assembly continued a push to get an extra day of move-out for students, among other issues. In this week's Penn Student Government Spotlight showcase the Social Planning and Events Committee told UA members that the Concerts committee is $50,000 over its annual budget after spending $35,000 on the fall 2007 concerts and $400,000 on last year's annual Spring Fling concert, which featured Ludacris, Gym Class Heroes, and OK Go.

Library use on the rise To the Editor: Last week in an article and subsequent cartoon, The Daily Pennsylvanian implied that use of Penn Libraries is in decline. To correct the record, I offer a few relevant metrics. In the five years between 2003 and 2007 (our latest complete statistics), circulation of books, videos, audio materials, microforms and laptop computers increased by some 20,000 items.

How much do you really know about Penn's endowment? It's big, though not as big as Harvard's or Yale's. But, even after a 3.9-percent drop leaving it at $6.3 billion, it's more money than most students will ever see. And it's heavily invested in a variety of "asset classes.

If you're up late studying this week and want that late-night dose of caffeine, you'll have to look somewhere other than Penn Dining Services. The stores underneath 1920 Commons - which include Starbucks, Subway, Top That!, Jamba Juice and the C3 convenience store - have changed their operating hours They now close at 9:30 p.

The other night, as I was walking home from rehearsal, I overheard a conversation that disturbed me more than anything I'd heard in a while (interviews with Sarah Palin notwithstanding). I was walking down 40th Street in front of a couple of guys, clearly Penn students, who were talking about a woman they knew.

Cornerback Tyson Maugle knows his captaincy designation is ephemeral, passed annually and non-transferable in the brutal economy that awaits the Class of '09. Thankfully, the third-year starter has a plan to trade in the "C" for another, more practical title: M.

In 1975, the men's soccer team went undefeated in its nonconference schedule. Tonight - a third of a century later - the Quakers can repeat that accomplishment. The Quakers (7-0-3, 1-0 Ivy) visit Lehigh tonight with the opportunity to put a punctuation mark on their stellar non-Ivy performance.

On Saturday, the Penn women's volleyball team opened its Ivy season at home with a familiar result: a loss to Princeton, its sixth-straight loss to the Tigers. Senior co-captains Steph Gwin and Kathryn Turner have had enough of it. "There was definitely anger and frustration on the part of Steph and myself, and I know that the two of us decided we're not going to stand for this kind of level anymore," Turner said.

Sen. Obama visited Abignton High School in Abington, P.A. this past Friday to address his plans for national education and push voters to register before the October 6th deadline.

It should have been a routine play, a no-brainer. Down just a touchdown with more than 14 minutes left to play, Dartmouth faced 4th-and-10 on its own 38. What ensued should never have decided the game. But punter Brian Scullin never put the ball to his foot, and instead tossed a short pass to special teamer Matthew Dornak.

This year, students are clicking their way toward a more interactive classroom environment, though some think the costs outweigh the benefits. This semester is the first in which many School of Arts and Sciences professors are requiring students to purchase "clickers" - small devices that allow professors to collect and display data from students during class time.
