Here is a list of anything and everything in the College you can double-count for a Foundational Approach and Sector requirement for next semester. We know, right?! A huge thanks goes out to the Penn STEP club for originally tweeting this, and the mysterious "Pavel" associated with PennApps who produced this report. Sorry about the formatting: the raw data can be found here.
It's almost time for spring OCR, and we didn't want to be left out of all the hiring fun. In fact, we wanted to start the fun early! Forget Goldman or Mckinsey, your resumes need to only flock to one place— here. Except, instead of your resumes, we want nothing but you and your ideas. We're looking for new writers of all ages for next semester, so if it's something you have even the slightest interest in, come to our Info Session and see what working for UTB is all about.
Amy's back in action today, proving that being a college president is not only about throwing parties and nomming gelato, but also being really smart. In an opinion collaboration with Dennis Thompson of Harvard (he's the Kanye to her Jay-Z), she discusses the lack of compromise in Congress. While that's a lofty topic (really, we'll be sure to check out the forthcoming book), we can't help but feel a little disappointed. In the spirit of protecting our fair institution, we think Amy should've held her op-ed hostage until a certain other opinion writer apologized for almost destroying Penn's reputation.
A College Freshman Has Died Of Cancer— We're extremely saddened to hear that 19-year-old Annie Zhu died yesterday of osteosarcoma, a type of cancer. The DP has more details here.
Coursekit, the start-up media darling founded by three Penn students, officially goes legit today. Want to try it out? The current advertised way is to nag your professors so they'll adopt it for next semester (unless you're a professor yourself, in which case you can sign up the service for your class).
There was an armed robbery at 41st and Chestnut, which obviously sucks, but at least DPS contacted everyone this time. According to the alert (which you should have now received via email and text): "Robbery by gun, 41 Chestnut, white male, 20’s, black hat & olive military coat, suspicious persons call 215-573-3333." Though that's a little far up, it's still definitely in campus range; if you're feeling unsafe, remember you can always call 898-WALK for an escort home.
An Update On Why Capogiro Has No Outlets— Per a tweet, "Having electrical issues in the back. Don't want anyone's laptop to get fried!" Does that sound legit? Does it matter? Just fix it ASAP, Capo. If you have any questions, just ask your friends at Saxby's what happens when the outlets go away.
Classes Are Up On PennInTouch— You can't change anything but you can see 'em. Start annoying professors for permits now.
Were the newest Friars, Sphinges and Mortarboarders not enough high society for you? Good, because we have the latest and greatest senior initiates to share too. For those who may be unfamiliar with these fine organizations, Cipactli, Oracle, Onyx and Hexagon are rocking it in their respective communities, only with less chalk all over campus and more cultural involvement. But don't worry, they're totally edgy and exclusive too. So, without further ado, the newbies!

Attention seniors! It's your last football game ever and apparently some fancy stuff will be going down at halftime to salute you. C'mon— it's your last chance to wear obnoxious Penn scarves and not look as obnoxious (everyone knows it's too hot in the Palestra for them), last shot to throw toast and last go at closing your eyes and pretending you go to a raging state school. The weather will even be crisp and beautiful (see above) for seniors and underclassmen alike.
Because It's Our Favorite Part Of Basketball Games— Big Five basketball means one thing (to us): snarky banner rollouts. We brag about how elite we are, other schools cut us down to size and everyone wins, because puns are the best! In case you missed the Temple game, the Buzz has a roundup of all the trash-talk here.
Not to cause mass panic or anything, but we've heard of several people who've had viral meningitis (not to be confused with the more contagious bacterial kind) lately. Maybe we're just being paranoid, but that seems like a lot to us considering we swore we faked turned in our immunization forms on time.
Off the Beat Remixed (2 Song EP) by djsexybeats We're just gonna come out and say it: generally, a capella groups and Penn DJs are two of the things we hate most. It's nothing personal, they're just really annoying. But when you bring the two together, something magical seems to happen.
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Nevermind the fact that it does seem kind of weird to start this winter tradition when it's borderline-sweltering out today.
We get it: if you're going to trudge through the same campus coffee shops and eateries day in and day out, you want the most bang for your buck. To help you with that goal, we've rounded up all the punchcards in our area to help make you a more efficient eater, drinker and nosher. Have any that we've missed? Do share!
Amy G. Was In The NYT— Maybe it was the Gray Lady's way of making nice with us? This week, Amy guest-stars on "The Choice," a college admissions blog Dean Furda has been known to frequent.
We live on a college campus in autumn. This is one of the prettiest places in the world to be right now; fall at Penn is where admissions brochures come from, and what people think of when they imagine "Ivy League." Naturally, our newsfeeds have been more than a little cluttered by muploads and photographers alike posting homages to the season. We want to see those pictures!
Homegirl is trashing our reputation! The mistake has been corrected on the Times' website, but seriously, world, stop confusing us with the brouhaha at Penn State. Maureen Dowd, if you're reading this, you should apologize to our entire University immediately. Then come give an awesome talk on campus to make up for it.
