Penn Professor Richard Beeman On The Daily Show Tonight -- The history prof was on back in August 2009, so either the Daily Show had someone cancel or this guy is really interesting. Tune in at 11 p.m. EST on Comedy Central or just wait for us to post a video when clips go online.
Denzel's speech at our fair institution has been getting coverage all over the internet this week, but nothing beats being the Yahoo homepage. Well, we guess being the homepage of a company not speeding towards irrelevance would be slightly better, but hey. We're famous!

Well, that was fun. Illustrious alum Donald Trump has decided that he's not running for president anymore. According to the ABC News report, the 2012 election will have to go on sans his lunacy: "After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the presidency," Trump said in a statement.

In case you're too deep in Walnut Walk to read the news, our infamous alum, Raj Rajaratnam, has been found guilty on all counts in his high-profile insider trading trial. He faces up to 25 years in prison, but even before that he's got to cough up $100 million for bail. Here's some better things he could have done with that money: Donated enough to name 44% of the School of Medicine Stopped SAC's financial problems... 107 times over Bought every single person in Philadelphia a meal during Restaurant Week (including drinks and tip) Sent 1,743 kids to Penn, all expenses paid Covered 158% of the losses he was trying to avoid by insider trading in the first place In conclusion: don't insider trade.

With graduation approaching, tradition is everywhere. We're reminded that we actually go to an Ivy League institution with a kajillion years of history. But while old dudes holding their class flags down Locust is heartwarming, there's a few things we wish were still around to liven this place up a bit.
