“Fifty–eight thousand babies were murdered in there last year! Their blood is on your hands!”
You asked, and we listened. This week's Ego of the Week was the most requested member of the senior class on last semester's nomination form. Rob Warshaw is pretty involved across campus, but this self–proclaimed goofball is best known for his cheerful demeanor and outgoing nature. After all, it's about time we started celebrating more people for being plain ol' good friends.
Quaker Notes, Penn’s premier all–female a cappella group and the oldest a cappella group at the university, will take the stage at Upper Darby’s Tower Theater tonight as the opening act for the three-time Grammy award–winning Pentatonix.
Stories from assault survivors stress the healing power that friendship can have in dark times, that openness and support and family and love can be a salve. While the importance of support is well understood, things are often murkier for survivors when it comes to taking the next step and reporting their assault. It’s why rape is one of the most underreported crimes in the country.
Ok, fine —we cheated a bit. Max Levy's claim to fame may be a little less Penn-centric than that of our standard Ego of the Week, but holy Mozart is he impressive. This ZBT bro has been performing in the company of Opera Philadelphia for nearly two years, balancing a burgeoning operatic career with a packed schedule of classes and activities on campus. This summer, he'll be performing with the renowned Glimmerglass Festival. It's safe to say Max will be singing his face off for years to come - but for now, he's still trying to make the most of his last year at Penn.
Today’s the day - OAX’s annual BMOC philanthropy event goes down tonight at District N9NE. The pageant’s got choreography for a cause, as OAX will donate all proceeds and donations from the event to Women Against Abuse, a local refuge for victims of domestic violence. The personalities taking the stage for the swimsuit and dance segments this year are bigger than ever - but only one can win. Meet the five seniors who will be stripping down to their Speedos to compete for the title of Big Man on Campus:
The Men’s Cross Country team took a hit last week at Ivy League Championships, but they’re gearing up to go again soon at NCAA’s. At the front of the pack is captain Chris Luciano, an energetic Econ major with a heart of gold and a passion for chocolate milk. Despite being a relative latecomer to the sport, Chris took off in high school as a natural distance runner. Four years later, he’s here to tell Street about his time as a student athlete at Penn.
Like all of us, Serena Bian (C ’18) began her freshman year at Penn in 2014 wishing and hoping that she’d find her people right away, the friends that she’d walk next to at graduation while giggling about their first week on campus.
There’s nothing quite like taking that first sip of a warm, fratty Natty on a Friday night. If you think you’ve tasted bad beer, chances are it’s nothing near the bitter, debris–loaded beverage first concocted by our Sumerian ancestors over six thousand years ago.
Meghana Jayam is a living M&T meme—she's the president of the program's student board, and rarely takes off her M&T sweatshirt. But while the rest of her classmates are running throughout Huntsman to club meetings, Meghana's more likely to be holed up in Platt Performing Arts House, where she moonlights (quite literally, because these rehearsals can go late) as the chairwoman of Bloomers, Penn's kickass female comedy troupe. And by the way, Bloomers has a show this weekend. Meghana thinks you should come.
Though only the roughly 220 club treasurers on Penn’s campus get to interact with Ed Jing at monthly Student Activities Council (SAC) meetings, you probably recognize this senior’s name from your email inbox. As the chair of one of Penn’s most important branches of student government, Ed is in charge of creating and managing the budgets for nearly every functioning club at Penn – a feat he tackles while juggling majors in two different schools. Street sat down with the easy–going future BCG consultant to chat about what it’s like to control so much of Penn’s money and how he thinks SAC still has room to improve.
This week’s Ego comes to you in the form of Mother Nature herself (the cool kind, not the terrifying Jennifer Lawrence kind). Bevan Pearson, Epsilon Eta sibling and co-chair of the Student Sustainability Association at Penn (SSAP), has spent her time at Penn fighting for a greener, more sustainable campus. And while Bevan will be the first to tell you that Penn still has a long way to go, she’s proud of everything she’s seen the student community do in recent years.

Though guards are a constant fixture at resident hall entrances, most students tap their PennCards without glancing at the people behind the help desk. Street asked two intrepid reporters to observe one night of freshman activity between 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.—from the perspective of an Allied Barton guard. Andreas Pavlou (C ‘19) sat at the entrance of Hill College House and Haley Weiss (C ‘18) at the Upper Quad Gate. From their side of the desk, guards observe things we never see, and pick up on patterns we don’t notice. Here’s what they saw during one night shift:
Makayla Reynolds has become a big name on campus since taking her place as the first black woman to serve as a Class President at Penn (yup, that’s first ever). In the year and a half she’s spent at the helm of Class Board 2018, Makayla has searched for new ways to leverage Class Board’s ability to change some of the more unsavory aspects of Penn’s culture. Her ego may be small, but with the impact she’s had on Penn’s campus and the surrounding community, we can’t think of anyone more deserving than Makayla of the Ego of the Week title.
Meet Connor Augustine, our first Ego of the Week from the class of 2018 and co-president of the Transfer Student Organization. Although Connor's only in his third year at Penn, this proud Drexel transfer lost no time getting involved the second he set foot on campus. Now, he spends most of his time helping other students through the tricky transition of transferring to find their place at Penn. Street caught up with Connor on the tail end of NSO to talk why we should love our transfers, education reform, and why he'll never work in a restaurant.
Say what you will about One Direction’s long-locked breakaway star, but you can’t deny that the kid is talented. His clear toned-tenor soars through every song on the self-titled album, accented by impressive rock ‘n’ roll yells and expertly controlled falsetto. The result is some pretty good rock music, made even better by the fact that, by creating it, Styles has eschewed the more traditional paths for former boy-band members (the options are generally limited to becoming a singer-songwriter in the style of Ed Sheeran or an R&B artist like Zayn Malik or Justin Timberlake). If you, like me, used to turn your nose up at some of One Direction's hits, you might hate how much you enjoy a few of Styles' songs.
Max Levy has more authenticity in his smile than most politicians have in their pinky fingers. It’s the kind of smile you don’t see too often, overflowing with goodwill and charisma. It widens more when he talks about others than it does when he talks about himself.
Just last week, Penn’s greatest cinematic creators gathered at the annual Penn Student Film Festival. The three-day festival, sponsored by Penn College Houses & Academic Services, provides students with the chance to have their work seen by an audience—and to compete for four cash prizes.
