(11/20/18 8:56pm)

That’s right, fuckers. Daniel has been talking about it for a while, but this time it’s serious. He has a spreadsheet, he’s got Adobe Photoshop, and most importantly he’s memorized his step-dad’s credit card info. Question is, did you fill out the Google Form asking you which shirt you’d buy? Because, let’s face it, Daniel is finally thinking about starting a streetwear brand.



OP-ED: Wearing Allbirds Doesn’t Mean I’ll Work In Tech (But I Probably Will)

(11/15/18 9:09pm)

I’ll say it. Penn has a problem with stereotypes. If you’re in Golden Geese or Common Projects, you’re in the scene. Bean Boots? Frat Star. Doc Martens and you probably don’t fall into those other two categories. But too often people assume I’m just another ‘Tech Bro’ because my shoes of choice are a pair Allbirds™ sneakers. Yes, they’re comfortable, and yes, they are machine washable. But just because it’s easy to match a pair of Allbirds™ with any outfit doesn’t mean I’m a match for Facebook or Google.

(10/26/18 6:24pm)

Move over OCR, and make room for OAR (Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research). After being praised by the meteorological community for his insight that “it’s kinda wild it can get this warm in October,” College junior Matt Hellerman has been called on to helm the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 


OP-ED: I Wouldn’t Be Failing My Midterms If Bob Mueller Would Just Get This Whole Thing Over With Already

(11/06/18 3:26pm)

These are trying times in our country, especially for the young generation. Since the 2016 election, the need to not just be a student, but also an active citizen, is greater than ever. Platforms like Twitter have allowed me to stay more aware of the issues surrounding the Trump administration—especially Robert Mueller's investigation into possible collusion with Russia. That said, I have a psych midterm this Tuesday, so if Bob Mueller could just wrap things up a little sooner, I’d really appreciate it.


Nine Hour NEC Trial Ends Just Shy of Ten Hour Goal

(10/16/18 2:52pm)

It was set to certainly be the trial of the century, or, at least, the trial of the 2018-19 school year. Two freshmen candidates for class board had been accused of improper campaign actions, and, on a Sunday morning, the Nominations and Elections Committee (NEC) began what would be a nine hour trial to determine the truth. With outcry by some over the what was seen as unnecessarily long process, the NEC on Monday released a statement saying it will try better in the future to get to a nice, even ten hours.
