Hey Day 2007!
Locust Walk: Saving the Squirrels...!?
While the mission to "save the squirrels" should not be overlooked, the great part of this video is checking out the campus... specifically Locust Walk, the shops on Walnut and a glimpse of the new "Cereality" store on campus.

Video from Penn Psi Upsilon frat brothers on Food Network's "Dinner: Impossible"
6/8/07 Update: Click here to now watch the episode mentioned below!
---
An upcoming episode of the Food Network’s "Dinner: Impossible" will feature Psi Upsilon fraternity brothers from the University of Pennsylvania doing their part to create a feast for Penn President Amy Gutmann and distinguished guests?
This week’s episode is set in the Psi Upsilon fraternity house, a.k.a. The Castle, a 19th century stone building that overlooks College Green in the middle of Penn's campus. While its baronial living room is spacious enough for the president's dinner for 60, its tiny kitchen is in the basement, at the end of a long, dark hallway and has a broken dumb waiter and a gas stove with few working burners.
This episode is scheduled to air on the Food Network at 10:30 pm (EST), Wednesday, April 18. Check your local T.V. listings, as the half-hour show will be rebroadcast on the Food Network, throughout the month of April.
For more info check out this press release and the food network page.

Yesterday's "LeeAnh" is today's "Dancing Traffic Cop"
Apparently there's a new on campus celebrity of sorts and his name is Officer Floyd.
According to dmittermaier1 on youtube, Officer Floyd, "spends most weekday mornings directing traffic at the intersection of 36th & Walnut. At every green light on Walnut, he choreographs a little move as he signals to drivers that they can go. At the red lights, he greets every pedestrian with "Mornin'!" or "Hello Darlin'!" He salutes bus drivers and other city works and anyone who honks at him to say hi. A great guy!"
Now if only we can find a video of campus celebrities from yesteryear such as "LeeAnh" and "Skeeter" (the "got a quarter guy?")
