While it may not have been the on-field performance the team was looking for, Penn sprint football had a night to remember as it honored its senior players in their final home game.

For the Penn women’s soccer, this season has been filled with ups and downs. And Saturday’s game at Yale proved to be no different.

In a nail-biter that featured some fancy passing, solid shooting and even a couple dunks, the Red Team took down the Blue Team in the 2014 Men's Hoops Alumni Game, notching a 31-30 victory.

Yale accentuated the Quakers’ flaws throughout the game, letting a national TV audience see what has been plaguing the Red and Blue all year.

Entering Saturday’s game against Yale, Penn football knew it couldn’t try to tackle running back Tyler Varga one-on-one or allow quarterback Morgan Roberts to make big plays if it wanted to pull off an upset.The Red and Blue couldn’t do either of those things, and a familiar result ensued.

This weekend, we got our first taste of Penn women’s basketball as the team took the court for their Red and Blue scrimmage. While it’s always tough to take too much away from a scrimmage, here are some of our first insights into the Quakers’ upcoming season.

Before he became a Philadelphia public school principal, Ted Domers learned about how other school leaders ? from private, public and parochial schools ?

Yale scored early and often, carrying a 29-14 lead into halftime against the Red and Blue. The Bulldogs’ attack was led by senior running back Tyler Varga and junior quarterback Morgan Roberts, who combined for Yale’s four touchdowns.

The recent rise of play within the Ivy League has been a swift one. With schools scrambling to get the one or two pieces to complete their Ivy League title puzzles, competition for recruits has never been so high.

After a set of mixed results at last week’s Head of the Charles regatta, Penn rowing is hoping to make a splash at this weekend’s Princeton Chase before heading into the long, cold winter.

It’s been more than four years since Penn has had a Rhodes Scholar ? but the Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships has revamped the fellowship application process in an effort to add Penn names to the ranks of scholars.For the first time, Penn put in place a faculty review committee to review and interview applicants for the Rhodes, Marshall and Mitchell Scholarships, three competitive awards for American students to pursue graduate studies in the United Kingdom and Ireland and select finalists to receive Penn’s official endorsement.Prior to the committee’s instatement, students were welcome to apply and receive Penn’s endorsement so long as they satisfied the minimum requirements for the fellowships.

The moratorium on new clubs has been lifted for all non-performing arts groups.At the October 23 Student Activities Council general body meeting, an overwhelming majority of the general body voted in favor of partially lifting the moratorium.

Unfortunately, for our black peers, “learning about racism” by occasionally dipping one’s toes into side research and casual activism is not a choice. Racism is a front-and-center issue for many Penn students, not necessarily because they seek out racial minorities as so-called special interest groups, but because they are subjugated to virulent racism themselves.

For the last ten years, Hank Essex has protested against the “corruption and demoralization of America” at the corner of 36th and Walnut every Friday.

I am grateful to have met many people over the course of my time at Penn who are passionate. Many students are driven to make changes in the Penn community, and our larger society, by being activists both on and off campus.
