One year later, a plan to improve MBA life may still require a bit more work. The MBA Executive Committee - chaired by Statistics professor Ed George, composed of Wharton faculty and students and charged with setting the direction for most of the Wharton MBA program - issued a four-point plan last February.


Former Penn professor Tracy McIntosh and the University of Pennsylvania have both reached settlements in a civil suit filed by the graduate student McIntosh sexually assaulted in 2002, according to case records filed in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.

College senior Bryce LeFort has been suspended by the University for the spring and fall 2007 semesters for violating the University's Code of Student Conduct, according to a suspension agreement shown to The Daily Pennsylvanian. The person who gave the DP access to the document has requested anonymity due to the agreement's confidential nature.

Before coming to Penn this semester, Nicolas Luna was worried about the "hard American life," as he calls it - working hard, studying hard, partying hard. But Luna, an exchange student from Argentina, had one thing to ease his transition - a Penn student to show him the ropes of Philadelphia.

"The key is to get the ball rollin' and keep it rollin', and we've got that ball rollin'." Coach Charlie Powell and the men's track team certainly lived up to his credo at the Giegengack Invitational hosted by Yale University this weekend. The Penn men's team set nine IC4A qualifying marks, led by junior Tim Kaijala, who not only set an IC4A mark but also set an NCAA provisional mark in the 800-meter run.


Penn sweeps weekend for first time in 2 years

When Joey Rhoads was honored before Saturday's game for reaching the 1,000-point plateau, she walked into the stands, hugged her parents, and handed them the commemorative ball she received. That was the only time all night she left the court, and the only time she gave up the ball.


Kosminskaya wins in a hurry

Ekaterina Kosminskaya's first home match was a brief one. In less than an hour the freshman won twelve straight games and put away Richmond's number one player, Pamela Duran, 6-0, 6-0. The rest of the afternoon didn't go much better for the visiting Spiders, as the Quakers won 6-1 in a convincing fashion.

Three straight wins in one weekend - the best medicine for a losing streak. After a tough loss to Hofstra last week, Penn wrestling responded in dominating fashion, winning its three varsity matches this past weekend at the Palestra. The Quakers started out strong Friday morning with a 33-4 decision over Brown.


'Big Apple' to be replaced by cheesesteak?

Ace classes, get diploma, leave for New York City - four challenging years at the University of Pennsylvania can be pretty simple for some students. However, in the not-so-distant future, the last of these steps just might change: Instead of a one-way ticket to New York, Penn students may soon be buying Septa tickets across the Schuylkill to stay in Philadelphia.

Penn men's and women's fencers both showed different aspects of the word "team" this weekend at the MIT Multi Meet. The men's squad showed what teamwork meant, while the women provided an example of resilience. The men's team went 3-1, defeating NYU, MIT and Boston College, while losing a heartbreaker to Brandeis, 14-13.


Seeking sisterhood? For some, not too late

Signs welcoming girls who are "too hot to handle" are popping up on dorm-room doors. But these signs, accompanied by streamers and balloons, are showing up a little late, posted for women who did not join a sorority during formal recruitment, which officially ended with Bid Night on Jan.

Finally, a Big 5 shootout falls Temple's way

Even Big 5 games not involving Penn are lighting up the scoreboard. At least for the home team. After a torrid start by both sides, Temple torched La Salle for 56 first-half points en route to an easy 89-64 win at the Liacouras Center yesterday afternoon. The majority of the game was played at an 80-mile-per-hour pace that would have made Penn coach Glen Miller smile.

While the men's tennis team was able to split the singles matches with its opponents, it was doubles that did Penn in this weekend. The Quakers (1-2) fell to both Central Florida on Friday and Maryland yesterday by a margin of 4-3 - with the deciding points coming after the Quakers fell in two of their three doubles matches.
