It's early April. The leaves are a growin'. The sun has decided to show us some love. You wear shorts for the first time and are reminded that your Spring Break tan has faded (no pun intended). All of these context clues can only mean one thing... SPRING FLING TIME IS HERE!!! Thanks to Nate Stauffer and Jacob Reeder, we're all reminded of the glorious behavior that will soon be on display from frat bros and sorority sistaz alike. But please y'all, try to exercise some discretion. Just like those flyers that have gone up around the Quad are reminding us - community matters.
Fling wasn't always an excuse for privileged Penn students to get away with public intoxication, public urination, and many other kinds of behavior that y'all should know better than to display in public. It actually used to have meaning, as evidenced in the above picture from 1954. Students gather at the Schuykill to support the Penn crew team, for which Callow Day — which became known as "Skimmer Day" in 1951 and finally "Spring Fling" in 1973 — was first started as a way to show the rowers support. So, you really think Girl Talk as the headliner is that bad? There's no way that it could be worse than sitting by a river. Sober.
Alert the media: Hillel's kosher-friendly dining hall, Falk Dining Commons, is making some changes. What are they? We're glad you asked:
Dartying is an art, y'all. So for those of you who haven't mastered it yet and are instead looking to avoid this lil guy tomorrow, head on out to Franklin Field on Saturday at 2 p.m. to kick off the Spring 2013 home athletics season! We hear there will be free food, free t-shirts, and other free swag. Plus, you can earn up to 20 Penn Rewards points (we don't really know what those are, either) just for showing your smiling faces!
Alas, break is over, and the quad bathrooms don't quite measure up to those at your grandparents' retirement complex in Boca. But don't worry, be happy! We've got a list to remind you why Penn is the !$h. Forrealz, we hear our beloved university is the place to be this spring. And here are ten reasons to prove it:
So, midterms are over, which means...SPRING BREAK 2k13!!! Where are you jetting off to - Cancun? Punta Cana? Cancun? But even if you're not going away... Don't get mad, get even! We've got a list to remind all you couch potatoes that you're way better off than anyone ending up like this at any point during the week.
The clock is ticking -- to get your PUCK FRINCETON shirt in time for the Penn Men's Basketball against the Tigers on March 12th! Show some love for your fellow Quakers, The DP, and The Buzz by ordering your very own tee here. Today is the last day! Unlike working on your midterm portfolio, this is something you should actually take the time to do.
Happy Thursday, y'all! Have no fear--Locust Flaikus is here. Even though it ain't the weekend yet, we're ready to celebrate a little early, because there's just so much to do on campus.
Charles Plaza is far - like, a cab ride away kind of far. And Han Dynasty is expensive - like, you need to put that on your card kind of expensive. And we know Penn kids aren't looking to trek it or break bank to get wasted whilst eating Asian cuisine. Well, it's your lucky day, folks. Chili Szechuan, a BYO that offers both traditional and self-proclaimed "Americanized" Chinese food, recently opened on 46th and Baltimore.
Who knew that ditzy sex-retary on Ugly Betty boasted a BA in European History from our beloved university? That's right, folks: Becki Newton, who played the oft-misunderstood Amanda Tanen on the ABC comedy, is a College alum.
Take that, OCR. Wharton Junior Steph Weiner's cover letter to The Dorm Room Fund titled "Why First Found Should Hire Me" has recently garnered quite a buzz via her Tumblr for it, thanks to her innovative use of common logos throughout (like those for Stumble Upon and Group Me). Take note, y'all. Maybe all that stumbling and group me chatting you do during your Psych lecture will come in handy some day. In the likely case that it won't, you can follow Hayley Brooks's lead.
He's certainly no A-Gutt, but he'll do. Pictured here is Thomas Sovereign Gates, the very first President of the University, named in 1930 (bet you didn't know that). His intelligence and leadership proved indispensable at a time when our nation was in social and political turmoil. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Gates oversaw the use of the university campus as a training ground for American troops. We wouldn't expect anything less of a Penn prez.
