Omigod you guys! Penn Singers is putting on Legally Blonde and the whole operation is contingent upon the leading lady getting the perfect hair dye. Rena Rowan Run, what? Penn Singers wants you to spend your shekels on a visit to the salon (a wig just won't do). You can even get your name in the program! Check out the email after the jump, and consider doing your part to save a strand. It's for charity.

You know that thing when you’re trying to shop at Urban Outfitters, but it’s just overrun with middle-aged women trying to find an outfit for their next business meeting? Or when you want to focus on the clothes and trendy books, but the music just isn’t loud enough? Rest easy, kids. Tonight is College Night at Urban Outfitters, and unlike the other 364 days of the year, tonight UO was made for YOU.
Vote ID-Free - The contested Voter ID law will not go into effect for this election in Pennsylvania, as decided by a judge this morning. In other words, government-issued IDs will not be necessary as voter identification this November. When will Smokes adopt the same policy?

You Know Romney's 47% Comment? - The one where he said that the 47% of Americans that do not pay income taxes will definitely vote for Obama? It was 100% said at a fundraiser held at a Wharton grad's home. Read the full coverage here.
If your Wednesday night is bare (looking at you, Skulls), go no further than SPEC Film to hook you up. They’re hosting a free screening of Pitch Perfect tomorrow, and you, lucky UTB reader, can win a reserved seat.

Harvest Seasonal Grill and Wine Bar, colloquially known to all from now on as HarBar, is slated to open at the end of this month. HarBar offers a farm-to-table experience that is both upscale and affordable. Problems with construction, union contracts, and weather have pushed the opening from June to the week of September 26th.
The most exciting part of 2012 has passed, but it’s a busy year, and we all still have the election ahead of us (freshmen elections and otherwise). While most of us are busy sharpening our pencils and only watching the election coverage from our TVs and Twitter feeds, one lucky class at Penn has been granted an inside look at the Republican and Democratic conventions.
NSO (New Student Orientation for anyone living deep, deep under a rock) is in full swing and you freshmen must be overwhelmed by something. If your roommates, RAs, impending classes, or theme parties aren’t stressing you out, surely some of the lingo you’ve encountered has been confusing. Your trusted pals at UTB (Under the Button ;) ) are here to elucidate all those tricky abbreviations and nicknames you’ve been hearing this week.
Gchat, arguably the most legitimate of all instant messaging services, gets even more dynamic this week. Huffington Post recently featured Penn professor Michelle Taransky’s Gchat poetry as part of their Reading Series. Taransky’s “Sorry Was In The Woods” is an excerpt from her forthcoming book and subsequently makes us feel self-conscious for not even including vowels in our Gchats. Sry.
Shake Shack Opened Today -- and the line was around the block at the 20th and Sansom outpost. If you're in Philly, make the trek to Rittenhouse and try the "Liberty Shell" for yourself. While you're in line, just remember: patience is a virtue.

Some restaurants continue the fun and discount menu items 15% after 7pm. Round up the most tolerable best of your fellow interns and friends and get there tonight!
In Town For Memorial Day? - Check out uwishunu's beyond-extensive list of things to do in Philadelphia this weekend. Now there's no excuse to sit on the couch all weekend, but if you want one of those, favorite this list instead.
In case you haven’t yet heard, Penn is joining a handful of other universities in aiding same-sex couples by issuing them a series of tax benefits. Because same-sex marriage is not recognized in Pennsylvania, there exists a tax that a Penn employee must pay on a partner’s benefits, although the tax does not exist for heterosexual couples. The new tax benefit issued by the university is meant to offset this cost.
Penn's Bringing Down The House- After years of negotiations and plans for renovation, Penn recently got the okay to demolish the mansion at 40th and Pine. It looks like the lot will be used to build low-level graduate housing, although the permit to build is not in place yet. Stay tuned!

Near Penn Park Tomorrow?- WXPN hosts free concerts at noon every Friday at World Café Live, but this weekend, they’re doing things a little differently. To kick off summer, Rufus Wainwright and a host of other artists are playing a free concert at Penn Park on Saturday. Can we get a "Hallelujah"?
Since finals are over we don’t even have to feel guilty for reading Buzzfeed’s addictively entertaining time-wasters, and the latest iteration features our favorite campus sculpture. Our own Hillary Reinsberg includes The Button and its lore as one of the craziest college traditions to rock the country, along with less salacious locales to do the dirty like Michigan Stadium and Stanford’s Quad. We've always known that we were special!
