As Becca Edwards walked off Franklin Field last night, she was greeted with a cardboard sign that read "Show them who's boss." Can't say she didn't listen. Edwards scored three goals to lead No. 16 Penn to a cathartic and surprisingly easy 13-6 romp over Delaware.

In a city covered with over 2,700 murals, Penn's walls remain strikingly blank. So earlier this year, City Planning professor Amy Hillier proposed painting a mural to honor W.E.B. DuBois by beautifying the west wall of the Kappa Sigma fraternity house. She received ambiguous responses from University officials, who are still deciding whether to paint what would be the first mural on campus.

While making a valid point, students can't let Easterly discourage their idealism.

In its home opener, pitching was the name of the game for the Penn baseball team in a 5-1 win over Temple. The Quakers (4-5) limited the Owls (4-10) to just one unearned run. Head coach John Cole used nine different pitchers to help notch the win. Freshman Reid Terry started and got the win, improving to 1-2.

Few people would guess that a Harvard professor and renowned physician would have much of a sense-of-humor - that is, until they meet Paul Farmer. From lightly asking permission from SAS Dean Rebecca Bushnell and College Dean Dennis DeTurck to telling anecdotes to remarking on a patient recovering from malnutrition having to do sit-ups after gaining back a lot of weight, Farmer infused his informative lecture with humour before a packed Irvine Auditorium yesterday afternoon.

LEXINGTON, Ky., March 14 - With Stephen Danley's status for today's game still up in the air, Quakers coach Glen Miller said yesterday he's "optimistic" about the big man's return to the lineup. Danley sat out the last 38 minutes of Penn's season finale at Princeton with a bad back and missed a good deal of practice leading up to today's NCAA Tournament game.

Parents love to see their children succeed, but they love it a little less when those children succeed at their expense. That's the situation Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun finds himself in today when the NCAA Tournament begins. The Huskies coach will be beaming with pride as four of his former assistant coaches, including Penn coach Glen Miller, lead teams into the Tournament.

LEXINGTON, Ky., March 14 - You've heard the call before. You've seen it replayed and probably watched in on YouTube. "OH, WHAT A GAME! WHAT A GAME! U-C-L-A! UNBELIEVABLE! AFTER BEING DOWN BY 17, HEART! BREAK! CITY!!" Last year's Sweet 16 thriller between UCLA and Gonzaga is just another in a long line of them called by CBS play-by-play announcer Gus Johnson since he began calling NCAA Tournament games in 1996.

LEXINGTON, Ky. It's surrounded by the land of bluegrass, thoroughbreds and bourbon. But at the heart of Lexington is one thing - the basketball scene. While divided loyalties make Philadelphia a special hoops town, in Lexington, there is no argument. The city bleeds Kentucky blue.

When a university's energy efficiency is directly related to tuition increases, it's time to start paying attention to the environment. At Penn, this was one of a multitude of factors that led to the Penn Sustainability Plan, a study spearheaded by Architecture Professor Bill Braham in which every building on campus will eventually be evaluated for energy efficiency and consumption.

It might seem like Penn's frontcourt can't look any smaller compared to Texas A&M;'s big men. But on Thursday afternoon it just might. Stephen Danley, the Quakers' biggest post presence, is a question mark for the game in Kentucky. Coach Glen Miller had suggested earlier that the senior would be fit to play, but sounded far less confident at practice on Monday.

Once a scarcely noticed minority, more women are plowing through engineering programs - and their moves are turning heads nationwide. The number of females majoring in sciences and engineering is going up, according to statistics released last week by the National Science Foundation, a federal agency that promotes the study of science.

Commencement speakers rarely win unanimous praise, but, this year, University officials worked extra hard to please the majority of the senior class. Penn announced earlier this week that former Secretary of State and co-chairman of the Iraq Study Group James Baker will address this year's senior class at graduation on May 14.

The prospect of green energy may just be dust in the wind. Swarthmore College announced last month that it will purchase 35 percent of its energy from wind power, joining the ranks of Penn as one of the largest purchasers of wind energy in Pennsylvania. Swarthmore's move also signifies a growing trend of universities looking to boost their wind energy programs in an attempt to cut emissions from fossil fuels.

Bruiser Flint has been waiting six years to get an ACC team to Drexel's Daskalakis Athletic Center, hoping that its hostile environment would unravel the major-conference opponent. But when North Carolina State finally showed up, it was Flint's team that lost its mettle.
