As graduation approaches, I've been thinking quite a bit about things I have not done. It was sometime while watching the impossibly talented members of the Excelano Project perform several weeks ago that I realized I hadn't accomplished or seen 90 percent of what I told myself I would as a dewy-eyed freshmen.

There are two things wide-eyed freshmen can't seem to get enough of during NSO: drinking and advice. The former will be concentrated in periodic outbursts of debauchery, but the latter will be unforgivingly relentless, largely unhelpful and almost uniformly corny.

By instating Score Choice for the SATs, the College Board puts low-income students at a disadvantage and devalues its own tests.

A native Philadelphian and father of six, Troy Harris always serves food with a smile. Harris has been working in kosher dining at Penn for eight years. He spent his first three with the University's previous food service provider, Bon Appetit, and the last five at Falk Dining Commons in Hillel.

So . how do you feel about the FDA's lifetime ban on the donation of blood by men who've had sex with men? The issue may not have even been on your radar a month ago, but if you're a semi-aware Penn student, it sure as hell is now. After the UA initially threw its support behind a proposal urging the University to examine whether the ban violated Penn's discrimination policy, the controversy received prominent exposure in these pages and was picked up by local news affiliates.

For all of the uncertainty surrounding the presidential race this year, one thing's for sure: For better or for worse, George W. Bush will not be president come Jan. 20, 2009. In America (thank God), we have these pesky little things called "elections" and "term limits.

We've all experienced the thrill of finding that perfect class. You know, the one with the 1.38 difficulty rating that fulfills that annoying requirement? It's a great feeling. It also illustrates why the College's curriculum is fatally flawed and needs to be scrapped in favor of a core.

I hate cheaters. I generally believe they belong in the lowest circles of the Inferno, chilling with Judas, Brutus and Cassius in Satan's mouth. But, unlike many professors at this fine institution, I'm realistic. Cheating exists everywhere, and Penn's no exception.
