Arielle Pardes | From the bedroom to the classroom
Despite learning very dutifully how to wrap a condom onto a banana, I have yet to find a practical use for applying contraceptives to my fruit.
Samantha Sharf | A font for Philadelphia
In our text-heavy world, fonts are everywhere — from the page you are reading to the sign on the building you are reading it in to the cellphone that you will likely fish out of your pocket at least once during these 668 words.Lauren Agresti | Everyone Loves a Catfight
There is a long road ahead for oppressed and disenfranchised women everywhere and they’re not going to be walking it in Manolos.
Kyle Henson | Detangling Diversity
Penn’s efforts amount to little more than a band-aid on a gushing wound.
Hayley Brooks & Ali Kokot | Bring back the banter
While intellectual curiosity does live at Penn, it struggles to coexist in a habitat pervaded by a pre-professional culture with an Animal House mentality.Your Voice | A Reptile -Dysfunction- Spectacular
After 124 years of producing shows, their latest — “A Reptile Dysfunction” — continues to live up to the great tradition of the notoriously wild and wacky all-male musical comedy troupe.Your Voice | Far from an even playing field
In reaching our leadership positions on campus, we have all learned to navigate these subtle forms of gender discrimination in our daily work.
Brian Goldman | Preventing an unfree press
Newspapers are not going anywhere anytime soon. What I fear, however, is that the information within those papers, here in Philadelphia, will no longer tell the entire truth or even pretend to. Our view of the world will be narrowed, impaired and propagandized.
Rachel del Valle | A soundtrack for every task
Digital music hasn’t only changed the way we listen to our favorite songs. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that it has changed the way we live our lives.Your Voice | Working for you
When the UA fails to do its job, we lose your trust. And when we lose your trust, we lose the ability to do our job.Ariel Koren | That's what she said …
Whether wearing a suit and Penn tie or a well-suited pencil skirt, every student here is perfectly positioned to effect a change as a leader.
Alice Lee | Why I did not drop out of Penn
What is the true value of a structured Penn education in comparison to the education that the rest of the world has to offer? This question is particularly relevant to students who wish to pursue nontraditional careers or have a pure thirst for learning.Jerry Glickson | Meet elsewhere in Philadelphia
As a holocaust survivor who lost both of his parents fighting the Nazis and as a coinvestigator on a U.S.-Israel Binational Research Foundation Grant directed towards cancer research, I feel deeply offended by this action. Let them meet elsewhere in Philadelphia.Your Voice | Objections to Occupy Penn
Like many others, I read the guest column submitted on behalf of Occupy Penn with utter dismay.Arielle Pardes | Rethinking sexual consent
The “no means no” take on consent suggests, falsely, that if you’re not saying no you must mean yes. If you’re drunk at a party, you must mean yes. If you’re on a date, you must mean yes. The truth is that there is only one way to say yes (hint: it’s the word yes) and nothing else is permission for getting into your partner’s pants.
Joseph An | Not another column about Jeremy Lin
When I see mocking “kowtows” coming from the stands whenever Lin scores or spectators in Asian face masks with slit eyes, it makes me realize that Lin’s break into the world of NBA is but a small step towards dismantling stereotypes about Asian people.Your Voice | Fact checking BDS claims
BDS is not promoting dialogue.Occupy Penn | We are Occupy Penn, we are for the 99%
We are Occupy Penn. We are members of the University of Pennsylvania community. We come from diverse backgrounds and we are for the 99%.
