For most freshmen, NSO is a time to travel in hall-sized groups, stumble down Spruce, drink too much jungle juice and figure out the stereotypes that define each fraternity house (and to figure out how to pronounce Greek lettering). But that is obviously not the way everyone envisions spending their first nights away from home, and the Undergraduate Assembly is right to acknowledge this fact through their creation of late-night alternatives.

For over a year now, a quiet but heated dispute has been taking place literally on the periphery of campus: On one side, Penn and its partners are trying to clear the way for a hotel development at 40th and Pine streets; on the other, a committed group of neighborhood activists are saying "not in our backyard.

For Colia Clark, coins jingling in a change purse symbolized the relationship between economics and governmental policy.

The seniors on the Penn women's tennis team went to Norfolk, Va., Saturday looking for a sweep. The Red and Blue had beaten Old Dominion three years in a row. Saturday, though, the tables turned. In their first match of the year, the Quakers fell to the Monarchs, 7-0.

Women's basketball coach Pat Knapp's scouting report warned that Harvard sophomore Christine Matera was a deadly shooter, but going into Friday's game against Penn she had shot only 15-for-63 from behind the arc, a 23.8 percent clip.

In Penn's College Houses, Resident Advisors coordinate ice-breaking games for students, but mavericks, the Radian's equivalent of RAs, get the party started for their residents.
