There's more in computing news today. In addition to an odd BlackBoard upgrade, the good people at Penn Computing have informed us this morning that AirPennNet is due for an upgrade on Monday, May 24. Mac users need not worry, as Apple systems will reconfigure themselves automatically. Those of the PC persuasion will have to download some things here.
After a grueling application process (think OCR, but worse), I'm glad to present our motley crew of Summer staff writers. Meet Adrian Pelliccia, Hannah McDonnell, Ian Bussard, Kelly Diamond and Morgan Finkelstein. Be nice! (Commenters, I'm looking at you.)
As we told you about a while back, a new wine bar is going in at 3131 Walnut (right next to Picnic in the Left Bank building). It's going to be called Biba.
Some of our graduating pals sent over photo evidence of the highlights of tonight's College of Arts and Sciences graduation. Enjoy.
Why was there caution tape in Van Pelt last night? Strangely enough, we've sort of seen this before.
After a long time coming, the Radian's beer-centric restaurant, City Tap House, is now open. Friends who are done with finals and thus have time to kick back beers (ew, hate you) have told us the spot had a soft opening on Saturday night, with things now fully up and running. Those who checked it out said the food was awesome, but pricey. We'll be by later in the week with a full report.
We know the floors of Huntsman may seem like the seven circles of Hell, but it's not that bad here, is it? We've seen these "Satan Loves UPenn" stickers all over campus and we don't know what they are. Are they:
Everyone loves to laugh at funny Google search suggestions, but you freaks are all probably too busy reserving rooms in Van Pelt to be bothered by Internet memes. For reasons we wish we could explain, Google's first suggestion for "reserve a" is "reserve a table van pelt." We find this half disturbing, half awesome.
For your exam week dose of celebrity news: tipsters say they've spotted Bradley Cooper by City Hall. Sources tell us Cooper is in Philly filming The Dark Fields with Robert DeNiro. Cooper is hot, but we want DeNiro pics!
We thought we'd seen it all when it comes to Rosengarten bathroom stalls. But then we found this in the Ladies' room.
According to a press release from Phi Sigma Sigma's national HQ, Penn's chapter of the sorority will be calling it quits at the end of this school year. The release cites "recruitment concerns and other challenges to success at this time" as grounds for closure. Panhel will be adding a new sorority next year, which was going to be a "ninth," but we presume will now be another "eighth." For the whole story, and an interview with the Phi Sig chapter president Jasmine Saxton-Mariah, see the DP article here.
In an article from yesterday's Daily Princetonian detailing fraternity hazing, we came across the following: "One senior, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, recalled his experience rushing Alpha Epsilon Pi, explaining that pledges were required to make trips to Philadelphia, where they had to complete tasks like peeing on the University of Pennsylvania’s famed “Split Button” sculpture.." Boys, you're peeing on the wrong sculpture.
And look at that. Here we are again, in that crossroads of Reading Days, another semester closer to real life.
Penn announced today that Vice President Joe Biden will speak at the Commencement for the School of Social Policy & Practice’s on Monday, May 17, at 7 p.m. in Irvine Auditorium.
Feeling down in this gloomy weather? Half-priced hot drinks at Metropolitan Bakery may help soothe the soul. Metro celebrates its sixth birthday today, for which they're offering coffee, tea, chai and espresso at 50% off all day.
If you've been living under a rock, or worse, in the basement of Van Pelt--the Penn Relays did go down, highlighted by Usain Bolt's appearance. ESPN was even there.
In honor of tomorrow's Hey Day celebrations, we bring you "Class Hey Day crowds, 1950." Should it rain, I'd like one of those trench coats instead of the ugly t-shirts we're supposed to wear.
Given the trash we usually see littered on College Green, we'd be hard-pressed to believe many students observe Earth Day (well, aside from a couple). Since today, 4/22 is that day we celebrate the planet, here's a bit of history that may shock you (it shocked me).
Man, it has been a while since we went to take you daughter kids to work day. Wasn't it the best, just playin' with your Dad's beeper and skippin' school?
