Marketing Professor Accidentally Gives Lecture On Time Dilation

(11/03/16 11:01pm)

Last week, a marketing student got a lesson that he never thought possible in a Wharton classroom. College sophomore Lucas Weiner shared his unnerving experience with UTB, saying that he was "just sitting there listening to the lecture for what seemed like a really long time. At some point I checked the clock." This is when Weiner came to a harrowing revelation: only 45 minutes had passed since class began. "I thought that maybe my phone was set to a time zone somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic. This just wasn't the case," Weiner laments. 


Wanna Avoid Getting MERTED? Don't Go To Gregory

(10/19/16 8:42pm)

UTB has been alerted of some high-profile information regarding everyone's favorite Medical Emergency Response Team, MERT. While they handle many a drunk student, they tend to handle a ton from Gregory College House in particular. Why is this? Are Gregorians much worse at handling their liquor? Do they have a tendency to drink away their sorrows of not being admitted into New College House?


Apparently There's A New Senior Society And It's Called Atlas

(10/19/16 5:47pm)

Atlas is a new senior society that apparently exists! Atlas was formed in 2016 but has been in use since the mid-16th century. The first atlas was the De Summa totius Orbis, created by Italian cartographer Pietro Coppo. We reached out to Mr. Coppo for comment on the new senior society that, as a surprise to many, exists. He wasn't immediately available for comment. 



Panting, Sweaty Sophomore Is Late to 200 Person Econ Lecture, No One Cares

(10/11/16 8:35pm)

On Monday, John Day (C'19), burst into his 200 person ECON 001 lecture, slick with sweat and thoroughly winded. He entered the Claudia Cohen Hall classroom at 11:03, three minutes past the beginning of class. He told UTB that he slept through his alarm, and rushed to grab his coat before sprinting out of his modest apartment in the low-40s.





Wannabe Investment Banker Suggests Stealing From High-Rises

(09/19/16 6:36pm)

It began as an innocent question and, as always, it devolved into some ethical gray-areas on reddit. While Wannabe I Banker did not explicitly state that someone should simply steal expensive vacuums (Hoover is an iconic brand) from staff, the implication is clear. Stealing from upstairs is probably easy enough, but there may be a need for some Ocean's Eleven-style heisting if the original poster doesn't live in the high-rises.

Junior Is One Minute Late To OCR Info Session, Doesn't Get Job

(09/13/16 10:09pm)

Jon Dietrich (W'18) thought that he had it all: a briefcase, daily GSR reservations, and a truly-refined LinkedIn profile. He felt like he was on top of the world. "It was only natural that I begin my quest to ascend to Wall Street glory at the OCR information session for Goldman Sachs," Dietrich told UTB. He continued, saying, "I wanted to go into 'investment banking'. I'm not sure of what that would entail, but I'm positive that it's exactly what I want to do with my life." 






Watch This Hilarious Wharton Stereotype Sketch

(05/02/16 4:41pm)

Thanks to a UTB tipster, we've unearthed this sketch by Wharton Follies! You might be thinking, "oh what a great commentary that seeks to mock the unfair stereotypes of those poor, oppressed Whartonites." BUT the stereotypes are all too real. If anything, the sketch reinforces the stereotypes, only perpetuating the plight of the Whartonite.
