Ego of the Week: Temitope Maiyegun
Temitope Maiyegun has lived everywhere from Nigeria to Vienna. Now Philly-local, she talks Kanye and candy. Street: There is a Facebook group entitled “The REAL Temi Maiyegun.” Are you in fact the real Temi? Temitope Maiyegun: If there’s a fake Temi, let me know!
The Bubble of Brown-town
Welcome to Brown-town: the homebase of Penn's South Asian population. The brown — pretty evident. The town?
Word on the Street: As the election cools down, where's the new heat?
Now that the presidential campaign — replete with spam, robocalls and SNL skits — has begun to recede into the background, two words come to mind: now what?
Just For Kicks
Monday night, the boys of Phi Delt hosted gallivanting hipsters and Whartonites armed with neon spray paint and glitter sticks, respectively.
Ego of the Week: Josh Acheatel and Jeff Fronek
They dress each other, they feed each other and heck, they even cuddle. BFFs and men-about-town Josh Acheatel and Jeff Fronek give Bert and Ernie a run for their money. Street: How long have you boys been friends? Jeff and Josh: Since sixth grade. Street: What were your first impressions of each other? Josh: Within less than a year of knowing Jeff, I decided to make him an usher at my Bar Mitzvah.
Tide My Breath Away
Well, it’s finally Halloween and we all know what kind of weekend we’re in for — or, if you’re one of the lucky ones with late Thursday classes, what kind of weekend has already started.
Ego of the Week: Michelle Burton

Word On The Street: Average Nation
For those of you living under a rock the size of Alaska, the presidential election is five days away.
Halloween Costumes Done Right
This year for Halloween, instead of being a Catholic schoolgirl or throwing on a Lakers jersey to be Kobe Bryant (or Ms. Walk of Shame) again, why not show everyone how culturally aware (read: pseudo-intellectual) you are?
Ego of the Week: Ben Alisuag
Street: What's the soundtrack to your life? Benjamin Alisuag: The soundtrack to my life is In Search Of… by N.E.R.D.
Taking Credit
It’s been relatively easy to bash Whartonites and their ilk over the past several weeks. “Look at those fat cats on Wall Street, with their $60 million severance packages,” everyone from the crazy guy next to the Button to The New York Times has sniffed.
Ego of the Week: Josh Bennett
Street: What’s the soundtrack to your life? Josh Bennett: The current soundtrack to my life is Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool. Socially critical, playful, lyrically complex — it’s essentially everything that I want people to say about my body of work when I’m gone. Street: Who’s the coolest person you’ve ever met? JB: The coolest person I’ve ever met would have to be [The Boondocks cartoonist] Aaron McGruder.
If iPod, Do You Pod?
Technology has fetishized miniaturization as of late — just compare Zach Morris’ shoebox-sized cell phone on Saved by the Bell to Derek Zoolander’s supersupersmall one.
Sex, casually
The other morning, when I woke up unsure of whether I was still drunk or just hungover, I found myself confronted by an important post-coital realization: I had screwed up (pun mildly intended). Before I go any further, understand that this is not that freshman-year-what-frat-house-am-I-in hungover regret.
Ego of the Week
Christina Thomas prefers to go by Tina. And we'll call her whatever she wants. Because she's kind of a big deal.
The Fresh Meat
There's something about those slanted aisles of FroGro that makes you wonder: who's around the corner?
Ego of the Week
Self-proclaimed "hippie cowboy" and all-round quirky dude Andrew Avrin has things to say. Street: What's the soundtrack to your life? Andrew Avrin: This is the most unfair question I have ever been asked.
Ego of the Week
When girlfriend Donnie Johnson was asked to be EOTW last spring, Ruben "Silent H" Henriquez ever-so-nicely hid his disappointment at being overlooked.
