Last Thursday, the two worst preachers in America showed up on Penn campus. As far as I could tell, they failed to convert a single student to the word of the lord.

GROUP THINK is the DP’s round table section, where we throw a question at the columnists and see what answers stick.
Midterms loom, recruiting rages on. Winter cannot be far behind. Having been away from Penn for the last two years, I naturally couldn’t wait to get back and live the good life.

“Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets.” - Paul Batalden, M.D. Let me preface the following discussion by saying that I am not in a fraternity, and do realize that they offer many benefits for their members: life-long friendship, deep alumni networks, and social structure, to name a few. That being said, as I am sure you are all aware, there has been a vocal conversation on campus after the OZ email flyering that took place on Tuesday.
You may not have heard about this, but OZ sent a sleazy email which got leaked. Just kidding. Unless you live under a rock, you know about what I’m now calling #OzGate. Personally, I have mixed feelings about how campus has reacted to the exposure of the crude poem. Let me be clear, I have little interest in defending the email itself. The sentiments expressed in the lines of truly terrible poetry indicate some attitudes I find deeply troubling.
BEN CLAAR is a College sophomore from Scarsdale, N.Y.
Over the summer, Penn introduced a major tweak to its Early Decision application process that prevents students from applying Early Decision to Penn and Early Action to another private university.
I live on Locust Walk. Three minutes to class, three minutes to Lyn’s, three minutes to Pottruck – the location alone is fantastic.
I’ve never doubted who I was. Asian, White, Mixed, Girl, Young—any of these could apply, but none of these mattered.
SHUN SAKAI is a College senior from Chestnut Hill, Mass.
Dear Penn, As many of you have heard by now, we had a question on our audition form that was completely inappropriate.
I call myself a writer, but I haven’t published anything in the three years I’ve been at this university.
I was arguably a better writer after four years of high school than I am now, after four years of some of the most expensive postsecondary education that money can buy.
