SPEC Overview

SPEC spells out Fling for Street Readers.


Letters From SPEC:

Dear Penn, As always, we Fling Directors are very excited for this year’s Fling, Alice in Wonderland edition.


Club Denim opens for its third night with a packed crowd.  The club opened on 1712 Walnut on Thursday, January 23rd, 2003.

Downtown Funk

In the cover photo for an event on Facebook, a young woman arches her back, and opens her mouth. Champagne spills down her throat, froths over her bare shoulders, soaks her long hair.


Benny and the Pets

Street combed Penn's campus to unleash our biggest journalistic Endeavor of the year. Here, we give you nine faces to ease the sorrow of realizing Emma Watson Won't be joining us in Fisher–Bennett next year.



What Drexel Says Behind Our Back

When was the last time you walked down Chestnut, passed 34th and watched the signs turn from red and blue to blue and yellow? This week, Street hit Drexel's campus to find out what they think about you.




Street Style Superlatives Voting

Want to see yourself or your friends featured in Street's second annual fashion guide next Wednesday? Then submit your votes for Fashion Superlatives by 5 p.m. on Friday. Winners will even get swag at our launch party at Smokes on Thursday, February 19th. Don't be afraid to shamelessly vote for yourself.


Departure

You don’t get to pick where you were born. And yet, your birthplace has the power to determine your professional career more than any degree can. An Ivy League education doesn't open nearly as many doors for international students as you'd expect. 


Letter to the Editor

Cultural appropriation is just borrowing something from another culture. “Offensive” appropriation occurs when the culture that is doing the adopting has oppressed, subordinated, or otherwise abused the culture from which it is adopting ideas, dress, etc. 


Style Superlatives: Nominate Penn's Least/Most Fashionable

For 34th Street's 2.18.15 Street Style issue, we're presenting the students who make the most notable fashion statements. Finally, we're recognizing that girl who rocks exclusively Penn gear and that guy with the impeccable man bun. Nominate your most (un)stylish friends All the superlative winners will receive a prize from our sponsors at Smokes on 2.19.15. Anyone is eligible. 


Appropriate or Appropriation

Cultural appropriation isn’t limited to widely publicized parties or front–page scandals. Some instances, whether they be on College Green or in a simple logo, go widely unnoticed.


Acting Out

From College Hall to City Hall, Penn’s activist groups use their voices to advocate for causes they deem worthwhile. They raise their arms, they lie down and they sit–in. They carry with pride the slogans and signs that represent their causes—each with its own critics and backstories.
