Editorial | Too soon to say goodbye

Today, the Penn student body has two fewer students than it did last time regular classes were held. College senior Kambili Mouwka and Engineering sophomore Ryan Smith both passed away unexpectedly in the last few weeks. Compounding the losses to the greater Penn community was the death of Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania trauma surgeon John Pryor, who was killed in Iraq.

Dani Wexler | Trampling on others

Thanksgiving was weird. Many of us were home, content amidst our families and a constant supply of food and celebration. But the weekend was also marked by tragedy. Last Thursday, we first heard about the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. Then on Black Friday, a temporary employee was trampled to death at a Wal-Mart in Long Island.

Mordechai Treiger | Tempting a hidden danger

As classes wrapped up before Thanksgiving, alert students still caught one final lesson: Unplug your appliances, even if they're not turned on. The brothers of Pi Kappa Phi learned that better than anyone. Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush blamed last week's fire in the fraternity on a circuit overload caused by a large number of refrigerators and microwaves.

Lisa Zhu | The benefits of the cost

Since last year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by almost 40 percent, while President Amy Gutmann's salary went up by that percentage. Gutmann's $1.1 million compensation trailed even higher figures paid to academic executives like Columbia's Lee Bollinger ($1.

Stephen Krewson | Following the (steps to be the) leader

A pervasive idea in modern thought is that Western culture faces a pressing shortage of "leaders." Rare indeed is the organization which does not purport to "train up the leaders of tomorrow" or "equip people to lead." An entire industry has developed expressly for the manufacturing of leaders.
