Gabe Oppenheim | The Jekyll and Hyde of ZBT

Penn's ZBT fraternity has long had a history of good and bad; the two have finally split up permanently.

Editorial | Fix the Legislature

Downsizing Pennsylvania's Legislature should be the top priority of the newly elected body.

Sebastien Angel | Enough with the useless books already

To save money, teachers shouldn't give students the impression that they need to purchase supplemental books.

Editorial | 'DP' election endorsements

A list of recommendations from the Daily Pennsylvanian editorial pages.

Cezary Podkul | Can money bring voters to polls?

In Arizona, voters will decide today on a ballot measure that would reward one lucky voter with lottery funds.

Letters to the Editor

I took a photo, too To the Editor: I am writing to acknowledge that the photo I took with a student at the annual Halloween Party ("Controversy erupts over student in terror garb," DP, 11/3/06) has caused a kind of wounding to some in the Penn community. I did not immediately associate what I saw of the student's costume with the kind of gear worn by a suicide bomber.

Sharon Udasin | Penn should be spreading the word on flu vaccine

With college life such a great environment for diseases to spread, the University should be helping students get vaccinated.

Bob Casey for Senate

As much as Bob Casey may claim, this election is not about electing Bob Casey to the U.S. Senate. This election is about removing Rick Santorum from it. Santorum, a two-term senator, is passionate and works hard for Pennsylvania. He has delivered, with major funding appropriations - and is in a position to become the No.

Guest Opinion: Amy Gutmann | Reponse from the president

As many of you have heard or seen by now, there was a photograph from our annual Halloween party that has taken flight over the Internet.

Agustin Torres | Exaggerations plague Penn's housing brochures

Let's play a little game. I'll give you two description of one of Penn's college houses, and you'll try to guess which one is more accurate. For the moment, let's call our test case "Gutmann College House." Gutmann is the complete college house. It is ideally located near major academic buildings, libraries, retail shops and athletic facilities.

Ed Rendell for governor

Anyone would be tough-pressed to find a major incumbent in Pennsylvania more deserving of a second term that Ed Rendell. Especially if you're voting in Philadelphia; Rendell has been great for the city and the state. Before Rendell took office in 2002, Pennsylvania was ranked 42nd of all states for job growth.

Sarah Rothman | Regulatory agency should oversee stem cells

America created the Atomic Energy Commission to oversee nuclear power; nation should take up similar effort stem cells.

Election endorsements

A list of recommendations for tomorrow's election from the Daily Pennsylvanian editorial pages.

Shall hiring preference be given to kids of city firefighters and police killed on duty?

No one can deny this measure has good intentions. Those who serve Philadelphians by saving citizens from fires and keeping them safe deserve our respect and our gratitude. And when they are killed in the line of duty, it's their children who are left to pick up the pieces.

Letters to the editor

Apology owed To the Editor: I just wanted to congratulate President Gutmann on an interesting choice for a holiday picture pose ("Controversary erupts over student in terror garb," DP, 11/3/06). The body language certainly is telling; naivete meets duplicity (I'll let you determine which is which).

Ali Jackson | Hey students: Get some rest

After surveying 150 students, it's obvious students aren't getting enough rest - make sleep a higher priority.

Editorial | Standing by Gutmann

Student tested limits with costume, but criticism of president isn't warranted.

Don't vote for Roebuck

It's not often campaigns revolve around a single issue. But for Joe Roebuck, that should be the case. In the early morning hours of July 7, 2005, state legislators in Harrisburg slyly (or so they thought) passed an enormous pay raise for themselves. The bill increased the base-pay salaries 16 percent, from $69,647 to $81,050.
