Trump Endorses Romney's Presidential Campaign– As CNN reports, Wharton alum and living, breathing combover Donald Trump won't launch his own independent campaign if his BFF Romney is chosen as the Republican nominee. In related news, who cares what Trump has to say about politics?

Penn's Famously Unfunny Comedienne Alumna Waxes Nostalgic– Yeah, Whitney Cummings, we're talking about you. Cummings praises Penn's diversity and calls herself a Philly gal because she's "you know, real" in today's Philadelphia Daily News.

The UA Has Been Found Guilty Of Last Semester's Charges– And now they're going to jail for forcing blindfolds and mimosas on freshmen. Just kidding– they have to go to alcohol and hazing educational sessions. Are they learning how to properly haze people or that hazing is Bad with a capital B? Take it away, DP!


In Material: Fiber 2012 Has Opened In The Arthur Ross Gallery

(01/28/12 8:43pm)

Yesterday, the Arthur Ross Gallery, located immediately within the entrance to Fisher Fine Arts, opened its newest exhibition, In Material: Fiber 2012. The space is now host to a really stunning collection of objects made up of various fibers: hand-stitched paper, textiles and– yes– human hair. In fact, the wreath you are now looking at (courtesy of the gallery) is made entirely from dreadlocks. Our Brazilian Blowouts definitely can't do that.


Chinatown Boutique Sells Knockoff Penn Streetwear

(01/27/12 8:46pm)

  What's with all the unofficial Penn gear? In a new campaign that makes sense to a resounding no one, Philly-based Abakus Takeout launched an Ivy League-themed holiday collection for those "who didn't make the grade." Penn is included, along with Brown, Princeton and those other schools, so if you want a new Penn hoodie that says "Abakus" across the front (Did you guys spot that typo?!?!), then go for it. You could probably bursar something very similar from the bookstore, but these clothes are FASHION because they're from a BOUTIQUE, so keep that in mind.



ShutterButton: Martha Stewart's Nightmare

Check out this gem from the 1960s, courtesy of the Digital Archives. We're using the word "gem" as loosely as possible here, because just look at this room. Just look at it! The red vinyl curtains. Those wine bottles. The Confederate flags. The PANDA? (Okay, we like the panda.) This dorm room was part of Sergeant Hall, which was built in 1900 and demolished 75 years later. Sergeant Hall who? #TeamHillHouse

You Can Puck Frinceton For Just $10– Yeah, who do they think they are, rejecting us from their ivory towers? Show your outrage by donning a "Puck Frinceton" shirt to the Penn-Princeton game next week. You know, that game with the ball and the players who pass the ball and stuff? And there are goals or hoops probably? Maybe.






Follow The Yellow Drip Road

Have you seen this sticky yellow-brown trail of an unidentified substance trailing through campus? Of course you have! This ish runs from 34th all the way past 39th, which is actually pretty impressive. We're currently taking bets on long it'll stay– a day? A week? Nah, probably a month. Gross. [Update: Turns out the offensive goo is actually an eco-friendly deicer made up of either molasses and salt or beet juice. Neat, eh?]



Marrakesh Express Moves Onto Penn's Campus

(01/19/12 7:42pm)

Marrakesh Express, previously of 44th and Chestnut, appears to have reopened to the public on 40th and Locust, transforming from an ugly caterpillar full-service restaurant to a ~beautiful butterfly~ food truck in the process. (...Did we just say that?)  According to Meal Ticket, it was supposed to have opened in October, but this is the first we've heard of it. In any case, the Keshspress, which is an awful nickname we already regret publishing, promises to bring delicious "SHAWARMA+FALAFEL ON WHEELS" to the Penn community. We can't wait to try it out– we're salivating over the Yelp reviews. In the meantime, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, everyone!
