Campus Life
Everything you think about the Radian but are afraid to tell your friends who live there
It’s been likened to the Death Star — you know, the fictional space-age abode of a certain Darth Vader — and for obvious reasons.
Ego of the week: Gabe Head
Street: If you could write your own superlative, what would it be? GH: “Tired of being introduced as the guy with the fellacious name.” Street: What was your first reaction when you found out what your superlative was? GH: I got three mentions! Street: In high school you were most likely to…? GH: “Star in a pornographic film.” Street: What do you plan to name your children? GH: Anything but Gabe. Street: Why not just go by Gabriel? GH: Because then I would never be in 34th Street. Street: When did you realize that your name might be the potential source of amusement for others / yourself? GH: My seventh grade teacher gave me the hilarious nickname of “Give ‘em.” Street: Who’s the coolest person you’ve ever met?
Everything You Think About the Radian (But Are Afraid To Tell Your Friends Who Live There)
It's been likened to the Death Star - you know, the fictional space-age abode of a certain Darth Vader - and for obvious reasons.
Ego of the Week
Former freshman superlatives Gabe Head and Sarah Telson had never met before. We thought we'd change that.
Ego of the Week
Former Street Ed-in-Chief (read: has-been) Jasmine "Jazzy" Fournier on her final days at Penn, PennQuest and her brother Nelly. Street: What do you think of Street this semester, now that you're gone? Jasmine Fournier: Normally you say people are gone when they are dead.
Ego of the Week
James Wong is Chairman of Mask and Wig, Penn's all-male musical comedy troupe. The senior gives us the inside scoop on the boas, masks, wigs.
The College Green
To high school all-stars across America who are blessed with intelligence and popularity, Penn is a beacon of hope.
Ego of the Week
During Fling, your safety lies with SPEC prez and Fling Safe head Max Cancre. The Senior speaks on Luda, painkillers, and why you should Fling safely... or die. Street: What is the objective of Fling Safe? Max Cancre: You mean other than to get people to Fling safely?
The University of Sexylvania
The Street Sweeper may be defunct, but that was just gossip anyway. In the spirit of Fling, here are four true sex stories - messy, drunken sex stories.
We (Don't) Have to Take Our Clothes Off!
You're running around the Quad, going from one fried food stand to the next, bumping into people you haven't seen since freshman year and trying half-heartedly to listen to the music coming from the Lower Quad stage.
Boys (And Girls) In The Hood
This street may not necessarily welcome frat boy antics or the occasional "40s and Blunts" late night.
Ego of the Week
Senior class president Puneet Singh isn't just a one-trick pony. This Ohio native is a member of both Dhamaka and Simply Chaos, and is proud to call himself a Sphinge. Street: Best and worst perks of being senior class president?
Ego of the Week
Senior Raheem Palmer is Penn's number one DJ to date. DJ "R to da Izza" mixes on his music, Adobe Photoshop and DJ Ben Franklin. Street: How did you get involved in DJing? Raheem Palmer: I've always been fascinated by turntables, and I noticed that all of the producers I looked up to started out as DJs.
What's That Building?
When walking on 37th past the Compass towards the Quad, you may have wondered what the tranquil-looking - and kind of eerie - quad is that sits parallel to Locust Walk.
The Polaroid Camera
The Polaroid instant camera, a leading item in 20th century retail and often cited as a precursor to the digital era, died in late February.
Ego of the Week
Molly Mitchell splits her time between comedy improv group Without A Net, the men's crew team and her dorm room in Hill.
Say Cheese
Holga Camera by Lomography $70.00 With the popularity of digital photography, it may be hard to pull yourself away from the instant gratification of a digital image.
Ego of the Week: Rylan Collins
Freshman Rylan Collins has a lot to balance: ROTC, a pending record deal and Penn Engineering. He still has time, however, to go for the ladies and work on his "mojo." Street: We hear you turned down a record deal to come to Penn.
You Are Such a Tool!
We operate in a world of jargon, a world of insider slang, a world of in-the-know lexicon. It's easy to get lost in the act of ranting in idiom, but do you ever feel like you don't know exactly what you're saying?
