Personalities: Today's a test for senior's efforts

Today's the day he worked for. After months of putting up posters, stumping door to door and passing out registration cards, Election Day is finally here.

The H-Y-P trifecta, mainstays at the top of the U.S. News & World Report's academic rankings, were all 7-1 at weekend's end, marking the first time this has happened in almost a century.

Understandably, nobody on the Penn side was lining up afterwards to discuss the positives of the game - after a loss like that, there certainly wouldn't seem to be any.

I took a photo, too To the Editor: I am writing to acknowledge that the photo I took with a student at the annual Halloween Party ("Controversy erupts over student in terror garb," DP, 11/3/06) has caused a kind of wounding to some in the Penn community.

Anyone would be tough-pressed to find a major incumbent in Pennsylvania more deserving of a second term that Ed Rendell. Especially if you're voting in Philadelphia; Rendell has been great for the city and the state. Before Rendell took office in 2002, Pennsylvania was ranked 42nd of all states for job growth.
