You Love Designing And The College?

If you answered yes, then do we have a job for you! The College Dean’s Advisory Board is holding a t-shirt design contest in conjunction with the Penn Bookstore to promote the College brand and give students more direct input into Bookstore operations. The winning design will be available for retail later in March, and will be featured in the front windows of the Bookstore. If that’s not incentive enough, the winner will receive a $100 Bookstore gift certificate and receives one of their shirts for free! (Yeah, we think that should be a given too).

Applicants can submit designs to casubmissions@penndab.org. Deadline is January 31st – only College students may apply.

Jonathan Safran Foer At The Bookstore

We’ve been gushing all week on how cool the Penn Bookstore suddenly is. Take note: the coolness continues today.

We don’t usually note every reading at the bookstore, but dude is famous. Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, is stopping by from 7-8 p.m. He’ll be reading from his new book, Eating Animals, which is about, well, eating animals. We’re expecting the English major/vegetarian/vegan crowd to be in attendance.

Congratulations! That’ll Be $60.94

I've seen the future, and I can't afford it.

The bookstore’s so crowded today that we almost thought a new Harry Potter book was being released.  But alas, the gridlock is just a herd of ‘09ers looking to pick up their grad robes.  It’s so surreal–write down your name, your height, your weight, check a little box and poof! a set of robes for the last day of your college life.  And even though you’ll never wear them after that, they still cost over $60.  Haha, suckers.
