2015

LOL

I have this space to write whatever I want every week. This is a luxury that I don't value enough. Writing and reading is everything. As the Editor–in–Chief of Street and an English major with a creative writing concentration, writing and reading constitute the principles of my existence. I always tell Rebecca and Dani, our Features Editors, "The worst thing is for a Street feature to go unnoticed." In our position, with the captive Penn audience, it's our responsibility to write dangerously because no one else is saying it. I believe that writing can also be theraputic. Sharing personal narratives is the way to find companionship and remedy the loneliness that led you to write in the first place.

THEROUNDUP Pumpkin spice Highbrow! Just kidding, our doctor told us that we’re allergic to the tragic seasonal flavor. Fall is here—let the gourd times roll. People come and go, but sometimes you should really just cum and go. At a certain fraternity late night last week, two party goers slipped away from the crowd and found privacy in the library on the second floor. Highbrow hears the duo unfortunately didn't realize that everyone at the late night had left their shit in the library—jackets, coats and purses filled the room. When three juniors tried to walk into the library to grab their belongings, they saw

the butt–naked pair having sex. Needless to say, everyone had an "O" face. As the penetration continued, a crowd outside the library began to form as more people tried to get their stuff. This one’s for the books. Next time you feel fucked while studying in the library, think again. Is your body from McDonald’s? Because I’m loving it. Late one night at the one–and–only Micky D’s last week, one douchey football player made a rude comment to a girl about her weight. In retaliation, the girl whipped out her pepper spray and unleashed it all over the guy. She got a little carried away and began to spray the area surrounding her. Is McFury a new menu item? Other McDonald’s diners evacuated the joint coughing and congregated outside. The police arrived and got everything under control. Next time, don’t be a super-

sized fuckboy. We should always try to make McLove, not war. We have an update! Remember our onesie– wearing sophomore who slipped in an elevator shattering her foot and ankle bones? She’s recovering, but last weekend she found herself in a pickle. As the sophomore went out with friends one night, she took her scooter along with her...because that’s how she moves. As she mingled and danced the night away in her cast, one sneaky fucker stole the scooter. Why is the world so cruel? The scooter has yet to be found, but remember: Trust no one. If you spot the scooter looter, sext us. The Round Up is a gossip column and the stories are gathered though tips and word of mouth. Although we verify all the information in the Round Up with multiple sources, the column should be regarded as campus buzz and not as fact.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF ACTION MICHAEL COYNE

“T

hey’re just like any other kids; they’re just your students for the day.” That’s what I would tell myself as a freshman volunteer working with kids in West Philly. Looking back, I couldn’t have been more naive. Two years ago I started volunteering as a teacher for a student–run nonprofit called ACTION (Active Cross–Cultural Training in our Neighborhoods), an organization teaching basic Spanish in underfunded Philadelphia public schools where students lack access to consistent foreign language or cultural education. I’ve continued to teach with ACTION and became a member of the executive board—since then, I’ve come to realize that the kids I teach aren’t just any other kids. Let me clarify, children in West Philly aren’t abnormal, they aren’t monolithically “at risk”— the kind of buzzword verbiage I used to buy into. The kids I teach in West Philadelphia are energetic, smart, moody and adorable. They're smiles, fits, excitement—everything that children are. Yet, they can't be just any other children to me, or I risk recklessly hurting them.

I risk hurting them because if I ignored who they are, if I were color–blind or blind to class, I would be ignoring my relationship to them as a white, male, Ivy League student doing social impact work in a historically oppressed community. When I volunteer, I am not just me, and they are not just them. Our interaction is loving, but it's still an interaction fraught with politics. I'm still privileged beyond belief, and they're still oppressed by the system that’s supposed to be teaching them. What I’ve come to realize is that I don’t get to pick up and put down my privilege; I carry it around with me all day, every day. My race, my class, my gender identity, my education: It’s always there. I used to think it faded into the background when I was volunteering. At the very least, I hoped that I was using my privilege to empower. Instead, I wore it as an armor that shielded me from having to come to terms with what I was doing wrong. Weighed down in my own ignorance I stumbled into Lea Elementary and thought that because, as a Penn student, I was taking interest in addressing an issue in West Philly, I had “gotten it.” At the same time I thought I was doing the right thing, I was complicit in taking cabs and Ubers to the schools where we we taught. I whipped my iPhone out to remind myself of the curriculum one too many times. I spoke about college like it was a given. I brought constant reminders of what our kids may not have. To be sure, we brought smiles and Spanish too. Yet, when we went home, some of us—and undoubtedly many others on campus—used language like “at risk” or “underprivileged” because, well, that phrasing made our work sound more noble without considering the

When I volunteer, I am not just me, and they are not just them. Our interaction is loving, but it is still an interaction fraught with politics.

"At risk." "Underprivileged." Why the way we describe West Philadelphia students is wrong—and what we can do to change it.

possibilities of subtle linguistic racism. ACTION is undoubtedly dedicated to our kids, but the work isn’t about our kids. Our work addresses systemic inequality in education funding; the issue is money, not elementary schoolers. Imagine if they ever read that they were “at risk,” imagine the kind of sucker–punch to their self–esteem it could be. Imagine how it could insult their parents. As Penn students, we all have something to offer—especially to a community so close to us. We also have, however, the privilege of ease. Helping West Philly is too often framed as apolitical charity. We’re helping people, great! And that’s admirable, but not when we ignore the context. Engaging with West Philly is something we know we should do, but we aren’t always forced to think about how we should go about it. Just because we’ve burst the Penn bubble doesn’t mean we’ve championed West Philly. If my experiences have taught me anything, it's that being Penn students—compounding any other privilege—often lets us, and has certainly let me, masquerade as “saviors” when the latent externalities of our work have the potential to wreak havoc. In the past, we haven’t fully realized how to frame our mission when we “aimed to empower ‘at risk’ students,” and I’ll speak for myself when I say that I didn’t have the right mindset. We were doing good, but we weren’t always doing a good job of it. However, I’m proud to say that ACTION has taken important steps to better understand how our work can be most effective. Our sensitivity and awareness initiatives aim to push our organization to think about the implications of everything we do; ACTION now actively discusses and trains our members and executive board to recognize the politics of our work and our relationship to West Philly. In short, yes, sometimes Penn students get caught up. We can be careless and insensitive, but we can get better. We just can’t be unaware about how we help others. For ACTION, our kids might not be just any other kids, but they’re not “at risk” anymore.

We were doing good, but we weren’t always doing a good job of it.

THE ~SCANDALOUS~ SIDE OF SKIMMERFEST

SkimmerFest wasn’t always fun and games and AlunaGeorge. The Penn tradition we're celebrating this Saturday has a shady past, and Street did some digging through the University archives to uncover its dirty little secrets. Created in 1949, SkimmerFest (then called “Skimmer Day” or just “Skimmer”) was an attempt from Penn to regenerate student interest in crew by honoring its head coach, Rusty Callow. The event was a huge success and continued to be celebrated throughout the years, but it a caused a series of mishaps in the '50s and '60s. Thanks to images and records from the University Archives, Street uncovered the scandalous side of SkimmerFest. • 1955: Celebration of Penn varsity crew’s regatta victory over Princeton and Columbia got a little too raucous, and a “Rowbottom,” a student riot, broke out at the corner of 39th and Spruce streets. About 700 Penn students, 50 policemen and a six–piece jazz band were involved in the three–hour commotion, which was centered around two fraternity houses, SAE and DKE. The students stalled six trolley lines by removing their poles from the overhead wires. They also let air out of car tires and threw beer bottles at police, injuring several people. By the time the riot died down, 44 boys and one girl were arrested. • 1958: Disturbances similar to the one in 1955 took place over the next few years, and, finally, the Fairmount Park Commission prohibited alcohol in the

Ste Chickaek, Shrim n, Grillepd & Vegeta bles

park. The Undergraduate Council tried moving the regatta to the University's Valley Forge property along the Schuylkill River, thinking that Penn would allow alcohol as long as its use was consistent with University regulations. The plan was unsuccessful because Penn had just leased that property to a farmer. •1959: In the fall of 1958, the Penn administration cancelled Skimmer after Fairmount Park Commission insistence. • 1963: Skimmer coincided with the Penn Relays as well as Hey Day, and police and security were no match for the students at the races on the Schuylkill, at the Franklin Field concerts or the usual debauchery at fraternity houses. Fifty students jumped into the river to compete with the four–man canoes, and a car was dumped into the stream. Back on

campus, more cars were overturned, fist fights broke out and gasoline was poured onto the unused trolley tracks on Locust Street, which were set aflame. University administration banned all future events as a result. • 1964: In response to the administration, students held an independent and peaceful Skimmer. They called it "Remmiks" (Skimmer spelled backwards). • 1965: In an attempt to control alcohol and behavior, the men's student government proposed a "no–beer–in–the–hand Franklin Field lawn" version of Skimmer. The members promised Penn administration that they would run Skimmer weekend with better control. The administration went along with this proposal, adding a disclaimer that the University had no connection with any of the activi-

ties held at the river. • 1973: After several years of less enthusiastic celebrations, Skimmer was officially replaced by Spring Fling. The tradition faded into obscurity over the next 38 years. • 2011: In a stunning turn of events, the class boards of 2013 and 2014 revived the long–lost tradition of Skimmer in September. Their new intention was to make it a celebration of the start of the athletic season, specifically the football team’s first home game. Since then, Class Board has held the event on College Green and Penn Park with a series of food, games and guest performers, and students have found yet another reason to darty. Happy SkimmerFest!

JOHANNA MATT

COBAIN: MONTAGE OF HECK

WHAT HAPPENED, MISS SIMONE?

This documentary explores the life of Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain, who, to this day, remains one of the most iconic figures in rock history. Through the unique lens of Cobain’s personal journals, recordings and art, this film offers a uniquely intimate view of his whirlwind, decade–long music career.

What Happened, Miss Simone? illuminates the social dynamics of a particularly racially tense period and many of the obstacles artists of color have faced. Watch if: You only just found out about Nina Simone through Lana del Rey's cover of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood." Also because watching this movie is as close as procrastination gets to an actual history lesson. Photo: Jacksonville Free Press

AMY If you’re not sufficiently emotionally vulnerable because of midterms, watch this heart–wrenching documentary covering one of our favorite English soul and rhythm singers. Chronicling Amy Winehouse’s journey from her young beginnings to her celebrity and untimely death, this film is both tasteful and deeply moving. It's not Netflix yet, but consider this something to look forward to. Watch if: You have recently purchased a box of tissues and are okay with using all of them to soak up your movie–induced tears.

Watch if: You like movie titles that avoid using swear words.

JUSTIN BIEBER: NEVER SAY NEVER Just kidding. Don't do it. Watch if: You're feeling like getting a healthy dose of JBiebs’ cutting–edge 2010 hair.

Kenn Kweder and Mark Teague are early for their regular Tuesday night gig. Sitting across from us at Smokes’, they are as much of a staple here as the bar itself. Laughs ensue and pitchers of beer flow as they regale us with tales of being thrown out of shows, growing up with the rock ‘n’ roll “cool cats” and philosophical advice.

The Street Seven: Entertainment's new Q&A column where we ask your favorite artists seven hot questions.

Street: When did Smokes’ Tuesdays become “Kweder Tuesdays,” and how did you meet? Marc Teague: Kenny's been a very popular musician in this area since the 1970s (1977, to be precise), so I knew of him. I was walking down a street in 1986 on Bainbridge Street and he stopped me. Then I played here on and off nights every other Tuesday and he [Kweder] was playing the Tuesdays after that. And after a year or two, the guys I was playing with didn't want to do it anymore so Mr. Ryan (Ed. note: He's the one rejecting your fake.) recommended Kweder. We started that Tuesday and have been doing it ever since. Street: What were your dreams of being rock stars, and how did this passion for rock ‘n’ roll start? Kenn Kweder: By the time I was 22, I was convinced I would be world famous. I mean, I had no doubt about it in my mind. This went on for years…a long time. I think I finally gave up on it at 37 when I didn’t have hit records. MT: I started playing music when I was seven. When I

serving Philadelphia

for over

was fourteen, I wanted to be a drummer and set up boxes up in my room and started playing them. And my mom made me take guitar since it was quieter, and that was it. I always had dreams of making it big. That dream never dies, but it does slowly go away. Street: What memory from Smokes’ stands out to you the most? MT: Well I hate to tell this one, but it’s his 50th birthday. That always sticks out to me because we had just started playing, and I’m waiting for him to come in. He comes in, sort of walking in, and that’s the first time I had seen him like that here. He gets up, starts singing, and does four songs and then puts his guitar down, falls down on the stage and just lays there. He pulls himself back on a booth and then just sits there for an hour. He got up, someone took him out of here and went home and doesn’t remember any of it. With Kenny, you won’t ever know what you’ll get with him. Street: If you were stuck on a desert island, which five musical experiences do you take with you? KK: Highway 61 [Revisited], Blonde on Blonde, Trout Mask Replica, Ziggy Stardust, Roger

FILM & TV'S GUIDE TO

MOVIES HOMEWORK FOR

It's like the ever trustworthy Penn Course Review, but not at all trustworthy or like Penn Course Review. It's officially October, so you know what that means! It's time to get ready for Advanced Registration or, in other words, spending hours looking for the absolute perfect classes for which you will, without a doubt, stop doing the readings after the first week. Let Film & TV aid your search: Read these movie–focused (or –complemented) course recommendations, and put your education in the hands of our contributors, aka unqualified strangers. EMILY HASON "Freshman Seminar: Katharine Hepburn Films" (CINE 015): "My favorite Hepburn film we watched all semester was Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. That movie was the most socially controversial, which of course made it more interesting. The movie is about interracial marriage, which, at the time, was very rare, but it tied in well with recent headlines about gay marriage. I enjoyed the class’s seminar format because we spoke about the films and reading very informally, and it was also a really small group of students. Taught by [Professor Suhnne] Ahn, the class really focused on teaching us how to write about film, so it was a great beginner class for cinema studies students." —Georgia Breit (SAS '18) "Italian History on Screen" (ITAL 204): “This course takes students through the beginnings of the Roman Empire to present day through Italian films. Each week we were assigned a different film to watch on a specific era in Italian history as well as a short (seriously, it was really short) reading in a 'textbook.' Watching the films (they were in Italian but had English subtitles) really helped to learn the subject matter, and I would recommend this class to anyone with an interest in film or history. Also, to be totally honest, it filled the Arts & Letters Sector and Cross Cultural Analysis Foundational Approach, so it certainly has its perks.” —Sophomore (SAS '18) "Introduction to Screenwriting" (ENGL 116): "Besides the fact that you get to learn how to write a script, which in itself is amazing, the writing of scripts coincides with the reading of scripts and watching of films. With movies like Little Miss Sunshine, Goodwill Hunting, The Godfather and Rocky, the class was an opportunity to watch all of those films that old people (my parents) rave about that I had never seen. Not only did I walk away with the creation of an original screenplay but also an eclectic and elitist palate of movies that I could talk about.” —Sophomore (SAS '18)

"Introduction to Feminist Theory" (GSWS/ENGL 096): "For my 'Introduction to Feminist Theory' class last semester with Professor Melissa Sanchez, we had to write a paper based on a movie and a scholar we studied in class. I saw the movie Philadelphia on the list and decided to go with it, since I heard scenes had been filmed on Penn's campus in Fisher Fine Arts library. After triple–checking that my headphones were plugged into my computer, I actually sat and watched the film in Fisher. It was pretty cool to be sitting among the tables I was watching Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks studying at on my laptop screen." —Chloe Shakin (SAS '18)

"Introduction to Film, Forms and Contexts" (COMM 240/CINE 203): "As one of my favorite classes I have taken during my Penn experience, this communications and cinema studies cross–listed course can be broken down into 50–percent of listening to professor Paul Messaris tell relevant stories and absolutely riveting introductions for the other 50–percent of the class, which is watching informative and entertaining film clips. Not one moment goes by that I am not thoroughly enjoying learning about the ins and outs of the Hollywood and global film industries, and thus I would definitely recommend this class to any Penn student.” —Emily Hason (SAS '18) "Luso–Brazialian Visual Arts" (LALS/PRTG 240): “We watched a lot of films like City of God, Mortu Nega and Cinco Vezes Na Favela. It gives you a lot of perspective of Brazilian culture. But it also talks about other countries colonized by Portugal, like Angola and Mozambique. I took the class before studying abroad in Brazil and it helped me prepare a lot for the culture shock but also understand the role of the Portuguese colonization in a larger context.” —Nya Wilkins (SAS '16) "Introduction to British Cinema" (ENGL 295): "This is an awesome class that focuses in on the different aspects and eras of British Cinema including: Heritage (like old stuff), Bollywood and Social Realism. There is definitely something for every type of movie lover: Pride and Prejudice for those who love romance, The Fully Monty for those who love dramadies, Billy Elliot for those who love musicals, This is England for lovers of coming of age films, Slumdog Millionaire for any human and Bend It Like Beckham for the girls who just want to relive their youth. It was interesting to be able to compare the British film industry with the Hollywood film industry and to recognize how long and big of an influence British film has had on present day film.” —Sophomore (SAS '18) O C T O B E R 1 , 2 01 5 3 4 T H S T R E E T M A G A Z I N E 1 5

THE BEST HANGOVER CURES FOOD & DRINK

We asked upperclassmen how they deal with hangovers. Here is the wisdom from the Penn elders. Pre–Med Girl: As soon as you get home from your wild night on the town, drink 16 mL H2O. Add two Emergen– C packets to another 16 mL H2O; drink that. Set alarm for 4am. Wake up at 4am, drink at least another 16 mL H2O. Wake up, feel great. Street: 16 mL is like nothing. Pre–Med Girl: Oh, what are water bottles in? (Ed Note: interview conducted in lab.) The Ambitious One: Hangover run. Start right when you wake up and when you're still drunk/haven’t really realized you're running 'til halfway through. Then it hits, but you’re already on the run, so you keep going. By the time you finish, the hangover is gone and you feel accomplished because, let’s be real, wallowing in a hangover makes it worse.

BBBoy: Vitamin water to replenish and a tuna salad sandwich. Just makes me feel healthy, probably a placebo. If it’s really bad, drink a beer or two. Mom–In–Training: Before I go out I set up a little drunk kit on my nightstand for when I get back—peanut butter and honey sandwich, giant water bottle, Advil. Then I have chicken noodle soup for breakfast which is the CURE for hangovers. SWUG: Pedialyte and weed…does that count?

Advice from real people experts:

Native Philadelphian: Benjamin Franklin said it best, "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." Chug Gatorade the night before, and make sure you have enough tree. The Purist: Chicken and rice from the legit guy now at 41st and Walnut streets, but formerly holding down the 38th and Walnut streets corner.

The Whole Nine Yards: First, smoking a lot of pot usually helps, it makes me feel less nauseous. I also eat a lot of bananas and drink coconut water as well, then take a cold shower and pop a couple Advils. Then I listen to uplifting music, preferably Pharell and/or T–Swift. I collect as much evidence/stories as possible from friends. Sometimes I hear good things. But usually bad.

Honest Tom: Shit, shower, eat a tiny bit, TV, do something productive.

SWUB: An Illadelph bong rip and a homemade omelet.

Philly’s Best Wings!

A study from Thomas Jefferson University in Philly showed that non–steroidal anti–inflammatory drugs (Aspirin and Advil, NOT Tylenol) alleviate the headache pain of hangovers and caffeine blocks receptors that cause fatigue and malaise.

downing honey in the morning will cure your headache, a spoonful or two before bed could do the trick.

ethnic groups in South Africa. If you’re really desperate, give it a shot and let us know how that works out for you. Scientists say it so it’s real: Darker liquors give you worse hangovers than clear ones. But since it has to do with the substances present and produced during fermentation or added during production, your flavored vodka might not be doing you too many favors.

Lastly, as twelfth century poet John of Milan wrote in the Regimen sanitatis Salernitanum, “If you develop a hangover from drinking at night/Drink again in the morning; it will be your best medicine.”

Great Service!

In a surprising turn of events, apparently dead stinkbugs are a widely known hangover cure among certain

a. Absolutely. I’m also taking two classes. b. Ain’t nobody got time for that. c. I’m the creepy person who buys something from the refrigerator section (mmm, yes hummus cups with celery and carrots!).

Mostly As You got Pasta with Lamb Bolognese from White Dog Cafe: You know what’s good, and you don’t fuck around. You can bring the party while still keeping it classy. You aren’t just another salad from Sweetgreen. Keep being weird.

Mostly Bs You're definitely Cosi bread. Take this and run with it. You’re a little salty, but people can’t get enough of you. You can be white or wheat—you don’t just have one side. Keep making every white girl break their gluten–free diet.

Mostly Cs You’re a nutella crepe with bananas and strawberries from Houston. This is the biggest compliment anyone could give you. You’re sweet, but you have a lot of substance as well. You’re a lot of people’s first choice.

YOU HAVE TO DO THIS OVER FALL BREAK Stuck in Philly? Penn may be boring, but museums aren't.

STEPH BARRON

Fall break is on the horizon. Are you going home to PENN MUSEUM put on some much–needed winter weight? Or to Miami WHERE: 3260 South Street for a much–needed tan? HOURS OVER BREAK: 10am—5pm Or to New York for some much–needed quality time with the people you see every weekend? If you answered 'no' to all these questions and are feeling extremely depressed about next weekend, then you're reading the right article. Whether you're If you’re feeling guilty about spilling your (Pope) Franzia all over someone’s “The Pope is Dope” t–shirt this past weeka freshman who didn’t realize end, I know a way you can repent without going to church. fall break existed (me last The Penn Museum is showing an exhibit called “Sacred Writyear) or an upperclassman ings: Extraordinary Texts from the Biblical World.” It shows who has too much laundry, rare artifacts from the Museum Collection and rare books work and sleep to catch up and manuscripts from the Penn Libraries.

ATHENAEUM OF PHILADELPHIA WHERE: 219 S. 6th Street HOURS OVER BREAK: 9am—5pm Thursday to Friday, 11am—3pm Saturday, closed Sunday

If you’re in the mood to get a little farther away from campus and the cockroaches your hall mates left you alone with, hit up “City Abandoned: Selected Photographs by Vincent D. Feldman” at the Athenaeum of Philadelphia. It shows black and white photographs that form a narrative of local buildings, loved in one age and abandoned in another (kind of like you this weekend). Imagine how socially conscious and down to earth you'll appear in conversation when your friend comes back with a bag of freshly folded laundry and asks what you did with your alone time!

But if you only do one art–related thing over the break, go to the Barnes Foundation. Even if you’ve been before. Even if you are from Paris or Barcelona and think you’ve seen enough Picasso to last a lifetime (no such thing). Like most museums that stand in the shadow of those that appear on postcards, the Barnes is the best museum in the city. It displays an incredible collection in a unique and short–attention–span–friendly way. You’ll see what I mean when you get there.

WHY LEAVES REALLY CHANGE COLOR Ever wonder why the leaves turn magical, often clashing colors in the Fall? Think it's biology? Think again.

As you're walking down Locust this week, one thing’s apparent—the leaves are changing color! What a miracle of fall. The Pope must have brought it with him. But why do they change color? Most people think it’s biological; the chlorophyll breaks down so more colors other than green become visible. This all seems great and true, until you really think about it. Why would any color want to change? Nobody likes change. (Ed. note: You’re right. I hate pennies.) Just like every holiday and season, fall is made to be commercial. Do you see pictures of leaves changing color from 200 AD? NO. The first record we have of this appeared in the ad for Sherwin William’s paint in 1866. Ever since, colored leaves have slowly steeped into daily life. Why would they do that? To sell more paint. When the leaves change color, so do the color combinations of windows and the

leaves outside of them. While you're busy eating your Frosted Flakes every morning, pixies hired by Sherwin Williams come and paint each leaf new shades such as Squash Bisque, Rustic Melon and Yale Kale. Thus, when you’re crying by the window, the clashing wall color/leaf color bothers you. Immediately you feel compelled to change the colors of your wall accordingly. Lowbrow has become curious about the origin of this phenomenon so we reached out to Henry Sherwin’s grandmother’s great–grandson’s cat. With a definitive meow, we confirmed this creative scheme to change the struggling business model of Sherwin and his business partner William's new venture. But how do we celebrate this phenomenon while still punishing Sherwin William’s creative scheme? The only answer is to buy Martha Stewart paint exclusively at Michael’s.
