Earlier this weekend, the Sweeten Alumni House got a shiny new copper grill à la Kelis on the side nearest Van Pelt. One question: Why? Not only is this building hardly ever used by students and staff, but the addition seems garish on this otherwise tastefully-designed building. The money spent on these windows could have been used for – Oh, I don't know, maybe beginning to move DRL into the 21st century? Just a thought. But at least we know how our tuition money is being spent. Yeah, so we realized tuition money doesn't actually cover this, but alumni donations do...so, still.

This awesome door sign (complete with two free samples) was delivered to some lucky dorm-dwellers courtesy of Red Bull. While we're a little jealous that we didn't receive some free cans of Red Bull ourselves, we're more curious as to why they were given out. Is it some kind of encouragement to study for midterms? Or did a promoter manage to get into one of the residence halls? Conspiracy theorists, get to work.

Oh noes! A little before 10 p.m. tonight, the Radian's fire alarm went off. Fire trucks raced to the scene as scores of students littered the sidewalk. We wonder: What could have caused the fire? Was there even a fire? If so, we're putting our money on those fancy fire pits at the City Tap House.

The Penn campus and the surrounding West Philadelphia community are comprised of hundreds of buildings, restaurants, mid-century dungeons from hell (DRL) and other sketchy areas. While most of these places are named after rich Wharton alums, some of them have more colorful names. Some of them, in fact, are a bit ironic. Let's explore!

You may recall Ernest Owens, the power-hungry freshman who went a little craycray over freshman UA elections. Well, he's back. With a radio show.

This sign was seen clogging up the walls of a bathroom in the Quad. Although it's sad that this (toilet) paper needed to be posted in the first place, it's encouraging to know that someone is plunging to the heart of the problem in such a poolite way. The detailed set of instructions after the jump.
We're digging the Underpants Gnomes reference. Other things we're digging: the phrase "Keep this toilet flowing free and clean," bathroom etiquette, and the fact that we don't have to use this toilet.

Houston used to have a pool where Einstein Bros. Bagels is currently situated? According the University Archives, it did. It seems like it was an awesome place to get your exercise on if you were a male aged 18-22 in the West Philadelphia area circa 1900. But hey, you live, you learn, and you get Lois. Miss Lois, that is. Oh, and for the record, we know that swimming can hardly be considered Kegel-sizing; they just rhyme. (Do we get a gold star for trying?)

As we continue to wait with bated breath for the results of the freshman election campaigns for the Undergraduate Assembly, the candidates begin to reveal their super-awesome personalities. And what better way to do this (besides putting up posters) than to post videos on the internet? While all the clips are quite riveting, some are clearly better than the others. So without further ado, we present the creative geniuses and technologically-savvy wizards of the freshman class!

Riddle me this: What's smelly, mostly empty, and can be found lying motionless in the street for hours at a time? If you answered "Every Theta at Penn during Fling," you'd be wrong. Rather, the answer is "That Stinkin' Lincoln," the stylish car parked on 37th and Spruce just across from Beijing. Pictured above is pretty much the ultimate vanity plate, and seeing its elegant airbrushed design added just a touch of sunshine to this otherwise miserable rainy day.

These two lovebirds were seen getting wedding pics taken outside of College Hall this afternoon. Because College Hall is, like, beautiful and stuff. Unfortunately, Fall Fest was raging all around them while they smiled and looked purty. Maybe they should've thought about that before they got their hair did.

Yesterday, Amy G held a welcome-back picnic for sophomores at her house on Walnut. Besides the obvious delights of a PennPrez party (Free food. Seeing the Mann-Diva herself. Watching Class President Jon Youshaei try to rap.), attendees were handed bags of "Fun shaped Penn Bandz" upon walking in. And as you can see, they're amazing. GO QUAKERZ (not a typo) OF 2013!

This sketchy-as-hell sign recently appeared on 40th and Spruce outside of Penn's go-to spot for entertainment since 1977. You know, University Pinball? DUH. Undoubtedly, this sign will bring in more customers, although they may be less of the "family-friendly" type and more of the "hey-kid-get-in-the-back-of-my-van" type.

The Greek Lady has finally opened its (fancy new) doors to the public! Although you can- and should- check it out now, the official opening is on Monday (the 20th). The date for the grand opening has not yet been announced.

A lot of times, we're so caught up in the grand scheme of life that we forget that it is the little things that make us happy. Not having class in DRL. Puppies. Copa Wednesdays. Post-It note smiley-faces on the high-rise windows. So, Harrison 24th floor: We salute you.
