ZeN-Trification
Near the end of an election year in which everyone who was anyone parlayed their opinions into hardcover format, The Daily Show's Jon Stewart wasn't going to be left out.
Penn girls and rappers
1) You look at them the wrong way. 2) Their outfits don't match. 3) Pimp Juice gets in their eyes. 4) You step on their Gucci shoes. 5) You step on their Gucci feet. 6) You try to become part of their entourage. 7) You call them Eazy. 8) They can't spend money unnecessarily. 9) They wake up and realize they got screwed by some prick from Wharton. 10) Their social legitimacy and overall persona are questioned. 11) It rains and their hair gets ruined. 12) You can't understand what they're saying.
Eurotrash
La Colombe is the anti-Starbucks. There are no sugar-free Venti lattes, no big comfy living room chairs and no pre-packaged salads or pillowy-looking muffins labeled "reduced-fat." It's an authentic European cafe experience, with a minimal menu and simple decor.
Fat stogies for old fogies
Holt's Cigar Company, Retail Store 1522 Walnut Street Mon - Fri, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m., Saturdays, 10 a.m.
Booze and brownies
Watch out Scoop De Ville, there's a new ice cream parlor vying for our affection. Trendier and more grown-up than the Rittenhouse favorite, More Than Just Ice Cream combines contemporary art deco, a hipper-than-you staff and ridiculous deserts.
I heart carbs
Some of us wake up in the morning and go for a brisk jog in the crisp autumn air (or so we hear). Others sit outside Pottruck for our mid-morning cheesesteak-and-cigarette break and watch the lines forming behind the elliptical machines in cracked out wonder, terror-stricken and fascinated at the notion of physical exertion before noon.
Cheesecake and chintz
Waking up slightly hung-over on Friday, you've got a simple choice ahead of you: go to class or stroll down to South Street and indulge in a carbfest?
Phat or flat

From the Editor
I have finally done it. I started to doubt myself. I started to wonder if it could be done. But I've finally done it.
'Street' wonders: where the hell is judith rodin?
Scenario 1: In an obvious yet profitable move, J. Ro planned to capitalize on the similarities between her and J.
Harmonies and Twin Peaks
Let's say you happened to have five guys that look like they belong in different bands. Hand them some instruments, let them roam free with their ideas and allow for some serious harmonizing.
Billy bob is insane
Though marketed as formulaic nonsense about a high school football team that goes on to an improbable victory, Friday Night Lights is a stunner.
Waiting for marriage
Cindy is small and pretty, soft-spoken yet animated. She arrived at Penn to study Education and Linguistics two years ago, and very quickly she met Mark*, a fellow graduate student, through the Penn Graduate Christian Fellowship.
Snead, the one with the dogs
Walk West over the bridge on the Walk. Stop in front of Commons. Now look to your right at the quaint little house next to the frat.
The salem witch
When one hears the name Joan Crawford, an image of a frenzied Faye Dunaway sporting a green sleeping mask with larger-than-life eyebrows might come to mind, accompanied by the phrase, "no more wire hangers!" How could an actress whose celebrity outlasted the average movie star's by at least four decades suffer such a rapid and humiliating post-mortem decline of reputation?
Beer 101
Ah, beer: that luscious liquid that helps Pi Kapp guys score each weekend. As much as you may want to deny it (we certainly don't), beer has played a formative role in your college career.
