Check out this neato pic from 1942 courtesy of the University Archives. It's a US Army show that went down right in our backyard during World War II in Franklin Field! That gun turret thing is scary yet also inspiring because PATRIOTISM and AMERICA. But on a serious note, how rad is it to think about all the stuff Franklin Field has seen over the years?
At least, that's what this Ron Paul supporter has to say. We hate these sorts of childish attacks on seemingly well-meaning politicians. (Alert: This is the only time you will ever see "well-meaning" and "politicians" in the same sentence anywhere ever.) Being able to speak Mandarin– especially at a time when Sino-American relations are crucial– should be an asset, not a point of contention. In any case, things aren't looking great for alum Huntsman, seeing as he amassed less than 1% of the Iowa Caucus vote.
The .xxx domain was approved by THE INTERNET (formally, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) in March and went on sale to the public in December. As Philly.com reports, the classification works just like .com, .org, and .edu domains, but is (as the name suggests) reserved mostly for pornography and fansites for the classic Vin Diesel masterpiece of the same name.
The Penn Museum is 125 years old! That's old! Pretty old! A century and a quarter ago, the Trustees of Dear Old Penn decided to send a research team to Babylonia and resolved to build a center to display any artifacts retrieved from the expedition. Over the years, Museum has amassed over 1,000,000 objects (six zeroes, thankyouverymuch). That's...a lot.
Beep beep! Angry scientists coming through! As the Scientist reports, the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute at Penn is suing a former employee of 12 years, Craig Thompson, for withholding information about founding a biotech firm, Agios Pharmaceuticals. The Abramson Institute claims that Thompson is responsible for stealing their intellectual property, although Thompson claims that he had nothing to hide. So the Abramson Institute is suing him for $1 billion.
Look around you: 2012 is here! Guys, it's here! And while we're all celebrating the coming of a new year and all the neat scrapbooks we'll make in the coming months, it is once again the time to reflect on the passing of 2011 and those campus classics that went with it:
Freshman Louis Lombardi frat-raps, repeats: "Summertime and I'm chilling real fly/Brew in my hand, blue fuckin' skies/Staying up late, midnight munchies/Don't forget about the morning, don't fuckin' judge me."

2011 was a great year for our Resident President, that Crimson Mistress: Dr. Amy Annabel Gutmann. (We made "Annabel" up. But could you imagine– !) Amy wined, dined, chatted, danced, shimmied, shimmered, gave speeches, danced some more, won the titles of Mr. and Mrs. Penn (we wish), had a picnic at her house, bought some new red blazers, coiffed her hair (That hair!), went to bed and did it 364 more times. Let's take a trip down memory lane and relive some of her best moments, shall we?
Are you young? If you're in the 18-22 age bracket, we'll say you are. Now, would you consider your moments of peaceful contentment 'happiness'? Yes? Stop lying to yourself, you're not happy. That's just silly! Well, that's what the research of Wharton professor Cassie Mogliner has concluded.
This vintage pic from 1943, courtesy of the University Archives, shows Dr. Sadie Alexander with her husband Raymond her children, Rae Pace and Mary Elizabeth. Dr. Alexander was the first African-American woman to receive a Ph.D. (which she got in economics) and was later the first African-American woman to enroll in Penn's Law School. But, just– Aww! Isn't this photo great? Happy holidays, y'all!
Looks like some pesky Design School students in the Preservation Program have decided to take a stab at the tired "Ryan Gosling says, 'Hey girl,'" thing on that meme-killer and narcissism outlet, Tumblr. As Curbed and the Facebook page for the National Trust for Historic Preservation report, the Tumblr is updated by multiple scholars in the program, and possibly managed by student Kelly Wiles.
Jon Huntsman was in a band! Yeah! A big hair, wailing guitar, "eff da man" garage band! Huntsman appeared on Letterman last night and feigned discomfort when David pulled out a photo of the presidential hopeful glaring under a mane of tangled locks among his bandmates. Jon eventually got himself up to the task of playing some hotel lobby standards (You know, jazzy chord progressions and glissandos), and it was all pretty charming. Why weren't the girls there to accompany him?
Unless you're one of those unlucky souls who's forced to stick around for that dreaded 6-8 last finals time slot (which, by the way, we're really sorry– that's awful), you're done with your semester!
Well, not really. But maybe! But probably not. Google's Zeitgeist, a service that ranks the most searched terms for a specific region, has listed the top 10 most popular searches for the 2011 year thus far. The fourth most Googled term in the Philadelphia region this year, trailing behind searches of Septa and Pennsylvania unemployment, is Penn InTouch! Congratulations, Penn InTouch! You must feel like the (fourth) prettiest girl at the ball the right now. Our old nemesis Blackboard has nabbed the number six spot, naturally.
Penn Med School Receives $16 Million Anonymous Donation– As The DP reports, the gift is the single largest gift towards neuroscience research. Neat!
Are you literate? Can you write? Do you have a lot of things to say that you think other people on campus should hear? Yes? No? Well, can you draw? Do you want to draw witty doodles of relevant campus issues (like the one above) that tens of thousands of people will read every day? No? Okay. Sorry. But if you are interested, fill out a Daily Pennsylvanian columnist or artist application for the upcoming semester by January 5 at noon. If you have any questions, contact The DP's opinion editor. GOFERIT.
