A grieving father and a life-sized coffin brought the stark reality of the Iraq War's death toll close to home.

When the year began, the Penn women's tennis team didn't know quite what to expect from its talented freshmen. Maria Anisimova knew even less about what to expect from the team.

They are two nights in Mark Zoller's great career, one ordinary and one extraordinary. And they are now forever tied to each other in history. The first night: Dec. 7, 2002, the previous time that Penn beat Temple, and just another evening at the gym in the life of Mark Zoller.

Perhaps it is fitting that West Philadelphia's new International Studies High School, a Penn-affiliated institution with a focus on global education, has not yet found a permanent location in University City.

The high school, slated to welcome its first freshman class this fall, is still exploring sites around University City and has not made its decision regarding its future campus.

Forty-seven fewer students have been invited to join fraternities, compared to last year. Since Bid Night earlier this week, 362 men have decided to join one of the many campus brotherhoods, and more may be on the way.
