Today was the best day for Seniors! It all started with an e-mail from the Office of the Provost with the subject, "Was Penn all you hoped it would be? Tell us! Take the Senior Survey." Right off the bat, they baited us with a depressing use of the past tense, three different types of punctuation in one subject line, and a chance to take a critical look at our regrets from the past four years. But wait, there's more! Turns out there is a major incentive for taking this survey, which takes a whopping "less than thirty minutes." For every senior who completes it, $1 will be donated to the Seniors for the Penn Fund.

Today, 2010 College graduates received an e-mail from the Dean's Advisory Board, requesting photo submissions for a CAS Graduation slide show. All of the graduates are sure to get teary-eyed looking at pictures of their 1500 best friends in the world having four years of zany times. The DAB asks that the photos are "tasteful" and "[limited] to those of just College students since it will be shown only to parents of students graduating from the College of Arts and Sciences."

A tipster sent us this photo of a cowboy riding the wrong way down 38th St. "Hay!" we thought to ourselves. "That horse sure does look familiar."
That's when we remembered that we saw this very same duo offering pony rides on Spruce during Fling last year. What's the deal? Someone grab a lasso and get us some answers.

There's really no better way to find out what the world has cared about for the past 12 months than by perusing Google's Year-End Zeitgeist, an examination of 2009's most popular and fastest rising search terms.

If you're stuck in a windowless study spot like some people we know photographed, you might be totally oblivious to the fact that it is snowing right now. Snowing a TON. We're about to don our mittens and head out to bring you some photos from campus, so check back soon.

This was the view from under the Button this morning (Don't even ask why we were there. Okay you got us. We were taking this picture!) before the library opened at 10:00 a.m. Maybe the early bird gets the best study carrel, but come on. It's a Saturday!

This is worrisome!

Righteous Dopefiend - a new exhibit at the Penn Museum that interweaves photographs, recorded conversations, and fieldwork notes - opens tomorrow. Here's the description, courtesy of the Museum website:
Anthropologist Philippe Bourgois and photographer-ethnographer Jeff Schonberg document the daily lives of homeless drug users, drawing upon more than a decade of fieldwork they conducted among a community of heroin injectors and crack smokers who survive on the streets of San Francisco’s former industrial neighborhoods.
We recommend heading downtown for First Friday tonight, then checking this out tomorrow. It's the perfect Arts and the City-inspired weekend!

Stop by Houston Hall (Wynn Commons) from 11:00 a.m. (a little bit before right now) to 3 p.m. for SPEC Special Event's Annual Winterfest. Hub Bub is handing out free coffee and hot chocolate, there's a synthetic ice skating rink with skates available to rent (we've received word from a Street ed on the ground that it "looks dumb"), and s'mores.

Rumor has it Iron Chef Bobby Flay is bringing Bobby's Burger Palace to Penn. Grub Street reports:

We're pretty shameless when it comes to like-liking The Excelano Project's Josh Bennett. When we made him Ego of the Week last fall, he probably thought to himself, "Wow! Me! Ego of the Week! Today I am as famous as I will ever be." Turns out he was wrong, because he ended up on Under the Button like, at least four times after that! There were also mumblings about him being featured in HBO's Brave New Voices and on The Daily Show (crush on Penn, much, Jon?), and performing at the White House and the NAACP Image Awards. But wow, four times! What is he, the cupcake truck?

What a world we live in. One day, Life is calling our mascot creepy, and the very next, Jon Stewart is saying "Go Quakers" on The Daily Show. Twice! The second time, using an imitation straight out of Fiddler on the Roof. It's the classic American tale.

You probably think a lot about what 34th Street editors do when they aren't editing. Right now you're probably nodding your head and screaming "Yeah! Especially over a long weekend. That's so much time!"

UPDATE: The event has been moved to the Women's Center at 37th and Locust.

Tonight we were on our way to Van Pelt, feeling pretty good about starting work early and even better about the Raisinets Milk Chocolate Coated Raisin Treats we had just purchased at the Uncommon Market, but then we saw this guy!

One of our top tipsters spotted this sign in DRL and got some photo evidence. Maybe it's referring to the spider plant plantlets directly behind it, which can be picked, placed in some dirt or a glass of water, and will actually grow into a new plant! But, maybe not.
Parents beware! Some mathletes have been given permission to take your babies!

Remember when Princeton totally zinged us during Homecoming? Well they were probably trying to retaliate after last year's game, when school buses full of kegs and Penn students took their campus by storm. Unfortunately for the Tigers, our debauchery seems to have had a far more lasting effect than temporarily interrupting students in the library. The Daily Princetonian reports:

Today, when we finally got around to flipping our Penn Student Agencies academic calendars to November, we noticed that last Wednesday was listed as the "First Day of Classes." Here we were, thinking the semester had started on September 9. This is great news! We're not half as behind as we thought we were, nor have we missed as many classes.

We know that most of you voted on March 28th (talk about an intense and drama-filled evening!) and weren't planning on getting out to the polls again until this Spring. However, on behalf of Penn freshman Jason Merrin, a finalist in the 2009 Nickelodeon Animation Festival, we ask you to reconsider.

Tipsters by the name of "The Girls from Harnwell 12th Floor" sent us these photos, stating, "Over the last three months there have been reoccurring appearances of a sex doll in the window of the {Mayer Hall room} that we look down at." We wonder if Tufts has any rules about this unique roommate situation.
