They say Chuck Bednarik, a Hall of Fame linebacker and center and a Penn grad, was the last "60-Minute Man" in football. Don't look now, but Colgate's Nate Eachus might be inheriting that throne. During the second quarter of the Raiders' 38-22 victory over Cornell on Saturday, the freshman left his spot at linebacker to take over for starting running back Jordan Scott, the leading rusher in the Football Championship Subdivision.

It might seem easy for a school located in a city surrounded by great farmland to source its food locally. I'm talking, of course, about Penn, located in Philadelphia, a fairly quick drive from Lancaster County, Bucks County and New Jersey. But try finding enough lettuce to feed thousands of salad-eaters several times a day, every day of the week, for eight and a half months of the year.

Starting with a banquet in Houston Hall Sunday night and a musical performance last night, the Muslim Students Association is working to increase knowledge about Islam.

In late July, Sen. Barack Obama held a Missouri town hall in which he contemplated the final weeks of the presidential race: "[My opponents] will say, 'He's not patriotic enough,' 'He's got a funny name,' 'He doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.

Judging by the number of gray hairs Al Bagnoli must have sprouted after Saturday's painful-to-watch stalemate, you'd think the 2008 Ivy League football season was about to wrap up in advance of a long winter of R&R.; Nope. It's only halftime for the year - five games down, five to go, and time to hand out the annual mid-season awards for both Penn and the conference: Offensive player of the half-year Penn: Hard to say, considering the Quakers have produced the second fewest first downs in the league but lead it in red zone offense.

Penn students, it turns out, aren't lighting up as much as your average college kid. Four percent of Penn students smoke tobacco at least 10 times a month, according to last year's Penn Health and Wellness Survey. American Lung Association figures show that the national average is 20 percent, five times the Penn average.

The Philadelphia City Planning Commission convenes today to review legislation that would allow the controversial Foxwoods Casino to open in the Gallery at 11th and Market streets.

On Sunday, the Undergraduate Assembly did not pass any new proposals but did discuss recent work on the redesign of the Penn InTouch system and updated the body about the University's new policy for dealing with copyright infringement by students.

Engineering senior Ryan Goldstein is set to be sentenced today for his involvement in hacking into the School of Engineering and Applied Science's computer system in February 2006.

In a memo written to "Members of Our University Community", Penn President Amy Gutmann yesterday addressed the University's place in the current precarious economic market, a move met by nonchalant student reactions. Writing that the note was prompted because "the state of the economy is on everyone's mind," Gutmann detailed Penn's current financial situation, including the ongoing capital campaign, Penn's commitment to no-loan financial aid to undergraduates and the recent dip in the size of Penn's endowment.

Unify our parks and recreation systems To the Editor: It's autumn in Philadelphia. The Phillies are in the World Series, and the Eagles' season is in full swing. While we cheer for our professional sports teams, kids and adults all over this City are playing baseball at over 160 ballfields, football on 70 fields, tennis on nearly 300 courts and soccer at approximately 125 sites.

Drew Healy is often likened to a superhero. But it has nothing to do with his eight shutouts this season. Nor is it because the senior goalkeeper has been the catalyst behind the men's soccer team's 8-2-2 start. Rather, he has been likened physically to a variety of super-powered crime fighters for the unique eyewear he dons for games and training.

If a Phillies fan knows one thing, it's that the "phever" is restricted to very few outbreaks, with many a year in between. It's a disease that has been in danger of eradication for, oh, about 125 years. On Broad Street in Center City on Wednesday night, however, the symptoms were flaring: car horns trumpeting, white and red towels dangling from windows, crazed fans pouring from bars and apartments into the streets.

Biking isn't just for trendy kids anymore. As bicycle use increases in Philadelphia, city and Penn officials are taking steps to accommodate bikers and promote bicycle safety.
