There's no need to follow the yellow wooden road any longer. The summer renovations to Locust Walk have been completed just in time for the new(ly postponed) school year. While the walk has been outfitted with new underground utilities and is freshly paved, the original bricks have been preserved for authenticity and their signature wobbliness. Resist the urge to celebrate by passing out useless fliers this weekend and stay inside instead.

Mary Anne, Abby, and Liddy, the three oldest daughters of Jon Huntsman, have taken the presidential campaign to twitter. @Jon2012girls chronicles the daily lives of the campaign trail, from mid-afternoon planking to their favorite mode of transportation (spoiler alert: it’s a PT Cruiser). These twenty-somethings are riding Daddy’s coattails all across the nation and tweeting the juicy details along the way. What breaking points have we gathered? Rock, paper, scissors is an important decision-making tool and the official drink of the Huntsman family is gin with St. Germain and soda. #titillating

There haven’t been many noteworthy offenses near campus since summer began. Save from the normal Van Pelt theft, campus has been pretty tame. Until this week. A quick look at the DP crime log exposes an alarmingly long list of bicycle theft incidents this week. Day, night, secured or not, it seems that no bicycle is protected. And with thefts occurring from 31st to 39th, there’s no safe territory. Protect your bike with extra caution this week and take your computer to the bathroom with you in VP. It’s better to be safe than bicycle-less.

US News reports this morning on the unimportance of an appropriate online presence when applying to medical school. Although the article warns against having any incriminating information on the web, only around 10% of medical schools currently use Facebook to check their applicants’ reputations. Gaye Sheffler, director of admissions at the med school, says there just isn’t enough time to catch up on the social lives of applicants. With more than 5900 applicants in recent years, that is a lot of Facebook stalking.

The feature diarist this week from Daily Intel’s Sex Diaries “dates” a Whartonite living in London, although that doesn’t stop her from being a whore finding plenty of other guys to use as material. The self-proclaimed “sorority princess” from Morningside Heights engages in frat boy foreplay, TA flirting, and best of all, a Skype session with the BF in which he suggests “doing it on a pile of money.”

Penn Madness finalist and former Google employee (like, how cool was the Doodle yesterday?!) Hoodie Allen plans to release Leap Year this summer, which made him cool enough to be profiled on the super-legit site Mashable. He confirms that the free mixtape should be available for download in July.

Ho Ho Woah! In bizarre Penn news today, it looks like the annual “Penn Christmas” has somehow slipped our calendars. This article chronicles the dumpster-diving spree that occurs every summer in our own backyards. Hopefuls descend on campus to find Penn clothes, furniture, electronics and more from kids too lazy to give their stuff to the PennMoves sale.

The DP ran a story on Dau Jok back in March detailing his summer plans to return to his native country of Sudan and use a $10,000 grant to end violence. But now that ESPN’s covering the news, people noticed his efforts are really gaining steam. The Penn basketball player is using funding from the Davis Projects for Peace to support the Dut Jok Youth Foundation, an organization he founded in honor of his late father. He aims to use sports to end violence among the young in Sudan. Jok and fellow teammate Zack Rosen will visit Sudan in June and blog about their experiences for ESPN.

Need a little pep in your step after the malaise of reading days? Go to the Multicultural Greek Council’s Yardfest in Wynn Commons followed by the Step Show in Irvine! We’re not sure what differentiates the “Yardfest” from the “Stroll Competition” from the “Step Show”, but the Facebook events promise a day of fun. There’s also an Ice Age Afterparty in Houston after the show, which might appeal to those who are still waiting for housing services to figure out how to turn on the air conditioning.

In case you haven’t picked up the paper or are smartly not subscribed to the Hub listserv, 1985 Penn alum Jennifer Egan just won the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction for A Visit From the Goon Squad. Although the Pulitzer committee somehow overlooked our excellence in investigative reporting, we commend their choice in Egan. Her book follows the lives of several people in the music industry. Perhaps Kweder served as inspiration for some of the characters? Ask Egan this and more when she visits the Kelly Writers House on May 14.

Spotted: chicken in the Quad gazing longingly at McClelland brunch. Hey Rooster, haven't you heard that you're not supposed to eat eggs for breakfast?
Update: Another chicken has been spotted between Spruce and Irving. Epidemic!?

The Van Pelt renovations have already affected campus in grave ways, and we didn’t expect it to get any worse. Although the new floor compasses in the elevators are sure to help upperclassmen navigate the stacks, future grade-conscious and/or superstitious freshmen might want to steer clear.

Amy’s days of hanging out with Arianna Huffington have obviously paid off. Daily Beast just named Gutmann one of the “150 Women Who Shake the World.” Amy is commended for her efforts in raising more than $3 billion for Penn and for her stint as chairwoman of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. Between hosting swank lunches, jet setting around the world to keep up with the social scene, and maintaining perfect hair, we just don’t know how she does it all!

What do you and the president of MTV have in common? Besides wasting endless hours catching up on Teen Mom and I Used To Be Fat, you both respect the Quaker. After graduating from our law school in 1983, Van Toffler began working at the law firm Kaye Scholer and handled cases such as the sale of the Beatles catalog to Michael Jackson. Despite this success, he grew tired of his job and wrote a letter to MTV asking for a job (this actually works?) in the legal department.

Just kidding! Did we scare you just like that great viral marketing campaign Penn Student Government enacted yesterday? Well, even if you didn’t care were too busy to go tonight, we dropped by the State of the School for the free food. They didn’t answer the button question we may or may not have posted on the town hall website, but they promised to have all questions answered in the next few weeks online. SPEC continued its love for fests by announcing plans for Love Fest next semester. NEC commented on our amazing coverage of the freshman elections. SAC cheered and the freshman class board rapped (NSOver Again? NSO there!). The UA reminded us to vote for the referendum and announced that starting next week, Mark’s Café will be open until 2 a.m. seven days a week with the late-night menu additions of hot dogs and “fiddlestix.” If they’re anything like this, we’re in. If they’re not, we’re in. Get the Van Party started!

It doesn’t matter that your Halloween costume isn’t slutty enough done yet or that someone isn’t replying to your emails, because SPEC is hosting Fright Fest and we think it’s going to be awesome!

We've discussed how Penn grad Drew Crockett opened Hub Bub Coffee today, but we had to stop by 38th and Spruce ourselves to try this new food truck to rival all other coffee trucks present a new java option. The line wasn’t this long, but they were already out of muffins by the time we got there. Luckily, our croissants were tasty and the coffee hit the spot. The upbeat music and perky staff added to the excitement and was especially impressive given the early time we visited. Although Drew doesn’t believe his Penn degree will guarantee him success (how refreshing!), he feels that his truck fills a void in dining options at Penn. And we agree. As word gets around and the weather gets even colder, this truck could soon become all the rage, nay, hubbub.
