Too little outcry To the Editor: Afaf Meleis' recent column ("It's about home - not where you're from," DP, 9/10/06) sheds light on the unfortunate issue of discrimination toward Arabs and Muslims in post-9/11 America. What Meleis fails to note, however, is that Arabs and Muslims can do something about it.Michelle Dubert | An honest push to the extremes
When I read and think about some of the primary elections that have come and gone this year, I am immediately reminded of everything that's right and everything that's wrong with American politics today.Avery Lawrence | Opinion Art

The voting booths have opened. For the next week, the Class of 2010 will have the chance to pick their representatives to Penn's student government, the Undergraduate Assembly. From some of the campaign slogans and Facebook.com ads, the whole process may not appear serious at first.Elizabeth Song | Vegan options growing on campus, and rightly so
Weekday afternoons, you'll find the Magic Carpet food truck perched on the corner of 36th and Spruce streets. The magic lamp emblazoned on its green awning tempts students with promises of cheap culinary delights and meatless Mediterranean marvels. Try the magic tofu meatballs, and you'll understand why the Magic Carpet has become the alternative street food option for Penn's vegetarian population.Editorial | Fixing e-mail for good

College can be a bit different from sixth grade. Take student government, for example. Penn's Class Boards and Undergraduate Assembly actually matter, unlike their pre-pubescent counterparts. The UA, for one, allocates about $1.55 million in student funds.Editorial | A new set of rankings

In a high-stress campus crawling with Type-A personalities, psychological concerns are bound to be rampant among students. The question is: To whom do we turn? Well, as we read in Wil Hershner's July 20 column, we are supposed to go to Penn's Counseling and Psychological Services.Editorial | Happy 100th, Al Bagnoli
This weekend, Penn football coach Al Bagnoli hit a milestone: He led the football team to its 100th victory during his career. That's a lot of wins for a team that only plays once a week, for three months a year. In fact, the only man who has more wins for Penn than Bagnoli is George Woodruff, who led the Quakers to 124 victories and three national championships - from 1892 to 1901.Sarah Rothman | The best rankings move: Ditch the system
I suppose it's old news by now that Penn has fallen to No. 7 (from No. 4) in the U.S. News & World Report rankings this fall. What a disappointment! What did we do to deserve this? Increasing class sizes? Disappointing statistics for the Class of '10? And, most importantly, was Amy Gutmann reprimanded? Apparently not.
