The Penn community was startled this summer to find that President Amy Gutmann had been selected by the Biden Administration to be Ambassador to Germany. Exhibiting bravery characteristic of Penn’s pedagogical and civic mission, Gutmann accepted the nomination in spite of lacking any relevant political experience.

Over the next week, thousands of students will descend upon the hallowed halls of Penn’s historic campus to experience the totality of the Ivy League experience. Gothic architecture, rarefied senior societies, and a raging superiority complex are just a few of the amenities in store for this next wave of scholars. Despite the upheaval and disruption wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic, which is most definitely over, Penn students displayed a commendable resilience and fortitude of spirit in navigating the tumult of online learning. However, a new school year will usher in the return of in-person learning and a return to relative normalcy. Bright eyes and fertile minds will soon populate the countless classrooms that have given us some of the most influential luminaries of past generations.

Listen up, girls and gays. We totally understand why this election is important. And we really really care about it. But, let’s be honest for a second. We’re hot!

The upcoming Presidential election and the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg have sewn discord at the very heart of our republic. The person who is going to assume her place must strike a balance between understanding the spirit of the law and remaining true to the Constitution since that apparently matters a lot. Although Trump has locked in his choice for the seat with the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, her ties to the Papacy angered members of the WASP establishment due to their anti-Catholic prejudices. There is only one person up to the task: Kim Kardashian West.
