Anticipating boredom on Friday? Done with finals and hangin' around? Stop by the first ever "Smoke's Sit In," which will be happening tomorrow from 11am until 2am. That's right, fifteen straight hours of drinking, games and mayhem at every 21 plus' favorite campus watering hole.
This snapshot was taken at Van Pelt's dedication ceremony on one sunny October day in 1962. It's like a retro Library Social! Imagine if the ceremony was right now and all of these nice people were simply sitting there watching you study and listening to you learn.
Reading Days, ah. Four whole days of blank schedules and welcome distraction. For Reading Days this semester, why not consider reading! Introducing UTB's first ever edition of "What You Should Read Over Reading Days." Feel free to add your own recommendations in the comments.
Monkey see, monkey do. Here is the latest addition to the Penn-centric "whatshould___call___" family: What should we call APES? The new tumblr was made in light of AEPi's recent loss of university recognition. We're all like, "OO-OO-OOO-AAA-AAA-AAA."
The DP recently featured this article about Wharton sophomore and "serial entrepreneur" Bradley Foster. Considering he already owns a hotel, restaurant, computer repair company and several other businesses, we're not sure why he hasn't yet pulled a Bill Gates and peaced out, Wharton, especially after stating the following: I could take insurance whatever class at Wharton, or my hotel could just burn and I could learn a really quick lesson about insurance. Let's do the math. We will assume that it takes eight hours for your basic Sheraton to combust, compared to the 14 weeks in a semester with approximately three hours of class a week for your run of the mill "insurance whatever" class. Does this kid have a time machine? Or just a really, really huge ego hotel?
It's sweet that the Penny Loafers are down to recycle and all, but maybe they should have waited one more year. As you can see above, for their spring show, the Penny Loafers have quite blatantly repeated show title "I'd Hit That...Note," one that the Pennchants and Quaker Notes shared for their combo show back in 2008. Is this going to stir up a rumble? A-ca-drama? To find out, see the Penny Loafers show this weekend slash the Pennchants show on April 20th and 21st.
Had enough tapping and smokers for one semester? Good, because the results are in! Check out the newest round of campus achievers in Sphinx, Friars and Mortarboard after the jump. But that's not all! Be sure to also check back soon for the rest of Penn's senior societies.
Sanjay Gupta, M.D., both neurosurgeon and Emmy-award winning chief medical correspondent for CNN, is coming to Penn on April 3rd to speak in Irvine Auditorium at 8 p.m. Reason you should go: Dr. Gupta can do no wrong. In addition to the aforementioned positions he holds, President Obama offered Gupta the position of Surgeon General and he was named on People's 2003 list of sexiest men. And the list goes on. Mother of pearl this man is an HSOC major's wet dream.
Meet the Penn men's basketball team of 1920. Believe it or not, this motley crew managed to win the Eastern Intercollegiate League title, which was the league Penn played in before the Ivy League was created. Good looks, team. Those knee pads are really intimidating.
Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Grammy award winning artist and actor, will pull up [with a million trucks] to Penn on April 3rd as part of the Lauren and Bobby Turner Social Impact Executive Speaker Series, the same series that brought Andre Agassi last year.
Bye Bye, Bursar -- Seniors received a heart-wrenching e-mail yesterday, in which they were informed that the last day to bursar items is March 31. If it's any sort of consolation (it's not), PennCash will still be available, so, seniors, we advise you to bursar some PennCash dollaz before time runs out.
Sophomore Rachel del Valle's "Duly Noted" column this week discussed her propensity for fitting music into every aspect of her life. In fact, she quite literally explains her music selection for even the most mundane experiences: I’d be folding laundry and think, “Wouldn’t this be so much better with some Frank Sinatra?” I’d be buttering toast and imagine how good Belle & Sebastian would sound combined with the scraping of the knife...Brushing my teeth? I’m going to need some Hall & Oates to make the Crest go down smoother. We'd be lying to say we've never done the same (such a toast song!), but this perfectly demonstrates why we keep iPods in our pockets and Spotify profiles on private.
"What's up everybody? This is your man DJ [adjective] [noun] here at WXPN shoutin' out on the airwaves. The year is 1952 and there is pretty much nothing historically noteworthy going on in the world right now. WXPN is taking requests all night, so I can guarantee some Doris Day and Nat King Cole will coming your way in just a few minutes! Stay tuned and stay classy, Pennsylvania. Unst unst unst."
When we saw Junior Alice Lee's "Dear Instagram" site, our first reaction was something along the lines of "bad economy + desperate times + cool app = resume-esque personal website and that is that."
Though you might not remember the whole trip, you're probably still having Mardi Gras withdrawals after your epic spring break in NOLA last March. While we can't bring you Pat O's or Bourbon Street, here are some of the snazziest, jazziest ways to ring in Fat Tuesday tonight right here in Philly. The following are all BYOB (bring your own beads).
In honor of Presidents' Day, we present you with someone who barely manages to pass as the only Penn grad who was also president: Donald Trump William Henry Harrison. Not only did President Harrison fail to complete his medical degree at Philadelphia's finest institution (he lasted just one year), but due to a fatal bout of pneumonia, Harrison only lasted 32 days into his presidential term (Yo, that guy John Tyler? He says thanks).
Although Ambulimo could certainly pose as a day-after-Valentine's-Day-singles-emergency-rescue vehicle, this truck, located outside of Commons for reasons unbeknownst to us, is in fact a one-of-a-kind "part ambulance, part limousine" service.
Ever heard of magic berries? You know, the kind of berries that make sour foods taste sweet, as if by magic, but really by chemistry? We'll venture a guess that if you have heard of them, you've always wanted to give them a whirl. This Friday at 4 p.m. in Huntsman 270, the BBB Society is hosting a Magic Berries Charity Event, marking what we bet is one of the first times you'll be able to simultaneously promote a good cause while screwing around with your taste buds.
If sign-age aesthetics said anything about venue quality, then Crave would be joining MarBar in 40th and Walnut bar heaven sooner than you can say "Dinner and a movie, please." But despite the 6th-grade-girl doodles on their sign (and seriously, who makes "a"s like that anymore?), the local PA brews do actually make this seem like an enticing stop for those looking to mix up their bar scene a bit.
Well, this is embarrassing. Today, HuffPo College created a slideshow that demonstrates recent instances of students from each of the Ivy League schools screwing up in some pretty big ways, from drug rings to sex scandals and everything in between. Our crime? Oh yeah, that UA hazing "scandal." Eek.
