College is for Kids
Freshman year was a simpler time. Your room was the size of a closet, heat was free and, most importantly, Mom and Dad couldn’t yell at you to pick up your shit.
Gems in the Rough
That saccharine day in the middle of winter which singles scoff at (but everyone secretly loves) has come around again.
Hacking Hearts
The cheap plywood handrail precariously nailed to the wall felt flimsy at first touch. The walls needed paint.
Ego(s) of the Week: Rachel Garber and Jess Gartner
Catch The Vagina Monologues, the annual theatrical celebration of womanhood, tomorrow at 8 p.m. Meet producer Rachel Garber and director Jess Gartner, the two seniors who make it all happen. Street: When you’re not celebrating womanhood, you’re most likely... JG: Planning my next crazy adventure.
Ego of the Week: Emerson Barth
From public official on the UA to public figure on campus, engineering senior Emerson Barth embodies what it means to be “Penn-fabulous.” Street: Is this your first time in an on-campus publication? Emerson Barth: Yep, unless you count being culturally elite. Street: When you’re not studying in engineering, you can be found... EB: At Pottruck… in the locker room. Street: Tell us your most outrageous story from abroad. EB: Model night at our favorite club in Hong Kong: Naomi Campbell dancing on stage next to Grandmaster Flash and Jackie Chan hiding around the corner. Street: Most underrated thing about Penn?

Our Screen-Printed President
What makes us choose Chipotle over Qdoba? iPods over Zunes? Christianity over Judaism? Marketing. You can try to convince yourself of the benefits of one product over another, but rest assured that a well-crafted marketing campaign had a lot to do with your ultimate decision.
Ego of the Week: Ilana Millner
While the rest of you juniors are complaining about the “culture shock” of returning from abroad, junior Ilana Millner actually has license to do so.
Cool Runnings
Weather.com informed me that last Friday afternoon would be “18 degrees, feels like 1.” So I bundled up in six layers and proceeded to class in College Hall, where I removed four of them in response to Facilities’ overzealousness with the classroom heaters.
Dear Shabby
Dear Street U., I know you’ve probably been asked this like, a thousand and eleventy times, but I’m just so totally confused and whatnot.
Ego of the Week: Joe Francis
Street U.: What kind of music do you like? Joe Francis: Whatever sets the mood. Street U.: If you could have a superpower for a day, what would it be? JF: What, have you not heard about my magic fingers? Street U.: What’s your favorite word? JF: Lift-your-shirt.
