Fisher Bennett Gets A Little Raunchier

(01/27/15 4:15pm)

William Shakespeare, James Joyce, Joseph Heller and Maxim Magazine. What do these fine works of literature have in common? They were all present in the illustrious halls of Fisher Bennett yesterday afternoon. Students walking in through the main entrance could learn about how to "snag an invite" to the increasingly popular "Sex Party" and take a gander at the "pretty little thing between the sheets." It seems that sometimes you just have to spice up the front desk with something other than a DP.

Stephen Colbert Rocks Penn Gear

(12/18/14 7:24pm)

Perhaps in an homage to the University that named him the most informative news source, Stephen Colbert donned a Penn sweatshirt in the second to last episode of The Colbert Report. Although he wasn't as public as our last infamous sweatshirt "swaggist," Colbert's puffy vest could not cover the classic red font. No point trying to hide it, we can spot our apparel anywhere, anytime. As Colbert would say, "Hurrah for the Red (White) and Blue." 












This Farm Does Not Want You

(11/06/14 5:00pm)

While a lot of people have been talking about Kenneth Goldsmith's upcoming class, "Wasting Time on the Internet," no one is angrier than the owners of Highland Hill Farms in Fountainville, PA. If you are one of the hundreds who apply to their tree farm with a Penn degree they will demand your transcript! If you have taken this class "and have been trained in how to waste time" they will not hire you! According to their banner: "U Penn Graduates Need Not Apply." Cue collective gasp of despair. 





Squirrel Makes History

(10/27/14 9:57pm)

The latest in fearless squirrel antics, this little furry guy was spotted last week in the History Department's office in 206 College Hall. He decided to sample some organic groceries, taking time to look on as two students declared their History majors. Demonstrating that squirrels are in fact listening to the chatter on Locusts, the squirrel voiced some concerns about the career possibilities for liberal arts students.
