Enter the sort-of new and strangely empty Music Building on 34th and you'll find this dedication plaque posted up on the wall above one of the benches on the first floor. "In honor of Little Kitty," it reads, which we can only take to mean that some loving cat (or dog! We're equal opportunity over here) will be forever memorialized in the form of a cheap bench. Kind of adorable, but also what?
"In memory of Chardonnay and Zinfandel," reads this plaque. Seems as though Merlot and Cabernet didn't make the cut, unfortunately.

Oh, man! How great was that Kelly Clarkson concert on Friday? So good, right? We almost died at the part when she was all, "Some people wait a LAYIFTIME...for a M-O-H-ment like THIS!" We define "lifetime" as the night our pledges slept out on College Green in the Fling concert floor pass line, so that song was extra meaningful for us. Anyway, back to business.

Fling 2K12: Now With 168% More Crime– Officials have attributed the 168% rise in crime from last year's Spring Fling to the warm weather over the weekend, as the DP reports. Nine people were arrested or given citations and 45 were hospitalized, up from 28 last year.

Check out this pic Tiësto uploaded to his Facebook account this morning after his set at Franklin Field. Just looking at this makes our ears hurt all over again (in a good way). Here's to one last night of unst unst unst unst unst unst. Treat yourself!

Locust Walkers, take note: Kappa Sig has just installed everyone's favorite vom-inducing inflatable bouncy castle of dreams outside their chapter house near the Compass. Friends, the time is now to use whatever connections you have within Kappa Sig, because look! Just LOOK AT THAT THING! "Come play with us," it gently whispers.

Spring Fling is here! Spring Fling is here! (Did you hear? It's here!) Although the next few days are going to be somewhat blurry, we want to help you remember (or piece together) the best of what went down during Fling 2k12.

In honor of all things Hillary, we bring you this gem from 1993, featuring Madame la Secretary of State, Mrs. Clinton herself! Clinton's looking extra chic here as she chats it up with her old pal. There's a "Watch out, Hillary, you're sitting in days-old urine!" joke we're politely sidestepping here. (You're welcome.) What a champ! Maybe the new FLOTUS and SLOTUS will spend some quality time with Franklin later today?

Fall 2012 Classes Are Up On Penn InTouch– Did you get all the classes you wanted? Didja? (Sorry, seniors.)

Latest Internet "thing" #whatshouldwecallme has probably been blowing up your Facebook newsfeed these past few weeks with lol-worthy GIF responses to college (and post-college) life. Really, it should come as absolutely no surprise to find that some lil' rascal has assembled Penn's unofficial response to that Tumblr in the form of #whatshouldwecallpenn. (In fact, how did this not happen sooner? Don't answer that.)

Mortarboard, Sphinx and Friars? Old news. The newest round of senior societies have rolled on in, and we're psyched for those who've been honored this year. Hexagon, Oracle, Onyx and Cipactli may not be as well known as the other seniors societies, but we'll chalk it up to their lack of chalk on Locust Walk. (Did you like that wordplay?) Click after the jump to see the newest inductees.

Pumped For Fling?– If not, you will be after listening to this week's playlist. Passion Pit and Tiësto obviously, but also some other gems like Sun Airway and Dâm Funk! (No Kelly Clarkson. Sorry.)

You wanna know what's hapPENNing? Spring Fling is happening. That's it. Boom.

Quad Bag Checks Start Wednesday– And no liquids will be permitted past Lower and Upper Quad Gates on Friday and Saturday. (Duh) Quad-dwellers and friends: the time is now to get your refreshments safely towed away for Quad festivities.

Read Jezebel this week? It's okay, you're not missing much. See, it turns out that the women's gossip and culture blog Jezebel finally caught a whiff of one of the most tired and overused internet memes (aren't they all, though?) out there– the college shower masturbation notice. As we reported way back in November, Penn is no stranger to the masturbation meme, which usually comes in the form of an official-looking notice warning students not to dispose of their bodily fluids in the showers. "Haha!" says a resounding no one.

Look at Amy Gutmann, Madame la Présidente, straight stompin' with some dudes and Scottish drummers down Locust! This Urban Outfitters catalogue moment was probably brought to you by Sonia Sotomayor's visit to campus earlier today, and we're really digging it. Gutmann is rocking an academic regalia potato sack by Proenza Schouler, Ph.D. kitten heels by Thierry Mugler, aviators by Ray-Ban and a presidential dinner plate chain by Flavor Flav.
What a style icon! Every week is Fashion Week for Penn's eternal "It Girl."

The Honorable Sonia Sotomayor Is On Campus Right Now– Yup, the Supreme Court Justice is chit-chatting with Amy Gutmann and some other important friends in Irvine and bringing honor to us all as part of the official opening ceremony for Golkin Hall of Penn Law. The ribbon-cutting is at 5, so there's still time to see what all the fuss is about!

Got any free time tonight? Yeah, of course you do! (Oh, you really don't? Well, just play along with us. COME ON!) The Institute of Contemporary Art (36th and Sansom) will host two opening receptions for its two stellar– and free– new exhibitions, The Happy Show and First Among Equals, from 6-8 tonight.

For better or for worse, this semester is starting to wind down. With one week until Fling and three weeks until the end of classes, it's time to start checking items off of your Spring 2012 bucket list. (Especially you, seniors) So, what's hapPENNing this week?
