We were alerted this morning to a post on New York party/photo blog Guest of a Guest, a post which carries the title "UPenn's Drunken Festival Relieves Students' Stress." Drawing pictures from a Fling Facebook album or two, Guest of a Guest mocks the weekend's antics in the Quad and around campus. All in all, it's pretty innocuous, save for one photo with a beer bottle and some dude's head up a chick's skirt.

To celebrate the revered day of greens, we hear some students actually made these t-shirts for what we can only imagine will be trips to the Bio Pond. If you spy anyone sporting this fine piece of attire, you know where to send it.

We've been unfortunately been blessed with an early reminder of that reprehensible piece of attire that is the Fling tee shirt. Fortunately, you have time to prepare yourselves for what's in store this season.

Witnesses have informed us a female was struck by a bus on the corner of 40th and Spruce. The DP spoke to police officers, who confirmed the victim was taken to the hospital but was not suffering life-threatening injuries.

Was John Lithgow in Van Pelt this afternoon? Tipsters tell us, "he walked in, chatted up a security guard, went to the bathroom downstairs in Rosengarten, and then left." Did you see him? You know where to send it.

In yet another example of the UA thinking it is far more important than it actually is, drama erupted last night at the speaker elections. We usually veer away from covering UA meetings, but when we read, "Webley stormed out, tore up the voting sheet and threw a resignation letter at Melendez-Torres," we continued reading.

The College of Arts and Crafts Sciences is having a fair, and its happening now, on College Green. Academic departments will be giving away free food, including ice cream made from liquid nitrogen (cool, Chemistry) and cheesesteaks (what up, Urban Studiez). If you're not dieting in preparation for fried Oreos at Fling, perhaps it's worth a trip. A number of prominent professor types will also be giving 60 second lectures. The fiesta rages until 3 p.m.

Did everyone at Penn always love the Button? Nope. But now, since it's trendy and cool to emulate us in our buttoneering love, everyone's like, "OMG. The Button!"

If you were stressing about what classes to advance register for over the weekend, take a look back. Thanks to the University Archives, this is what course registration looked like in 1965.

If you didn't already think Penn Dining was gross enough, it's probably time to reconsider. Tipsters write in tonight with tales from a meal gone awry at Hill Dining. The diners in question were just about to chow down on some greasy wings, only to discover multiple feathers had made it into the deep fryer and onto their plates.

Despite word that Bobby's Burger Palace was officially opening tomorrow, it appears they're doing a soft launch today. So yes, go get a burger now! (And meet Bobby.)

Our inboxes were flooding this morning with news of this most hilarious listserv gaffe. It's been a while since we've seen one this memorable.

Jerome Allen has officially been named Men's Basketball coach. Allen, a Penn alum, has served as the interim coach since Glen Miller was fired in December. Under Allen's leadership, the team fared slightly better after their winless stint with Miller, finishing 6-22 for the season. During recent weeks, Penn Athletics Director Steve Bilsky said they had narrowed the search down to nine coaches, from hundreds.

Meet our newest feature, "People Who Went To Penn." Rather than focus on the well known corporate bigwigs and politicians we count among our alumni, we'll shine the spotlight on lesser known, but kind-of-more-awesome-in-a-way types. For our first installment, meet J.D. Power.

Well, more or less. We all knew Fresh Grocer was less than sanitary, but it turns out so are about half the places you probably eat on a weekly basis. According to today's DP, Abner's, Ali Baba, Taglio, Burger Stop, Distrito, Ed's, Lee's Hoagies, Starbucks, FroGro, Subway, Hill, 1920 Commons and Hillel all have various health code violations. The violations range in nastiness from "mouse droppings on floor and on meat slicer cart" at Hillel (that cannot be Kosher) to a more benign "food safety certificate not posted" at Taglio. In any event, yuck. Many thanks to the DP for this cringe-worthy map.

It's been quite a week for voting! But this just in: the Class of 2011 Hey Day shirt has been chosen. Ben Chirlin's winning design involves a kind of creepy cartoon Benjamin Franklin giving the peace sign and wearing those stupid Wayfarers that everyone insists on wearing for Fling. We're pretty sure anyone who went to the penn11.com could vote (we voted multiple times, whatever) so we don't even really know who is responsible for this decision.
