The DP recently featured this article about Wharton sophomore and “serial entrepreneur” Bradley Foster. Considering he already owns a hotel, restaurant, computer repair company and several other businesses, we’re not sure why he hasn’t yet pulled a Bill Gates and peaced out, Wharton, especially after stating the following:

I could take insurance whatever class at Wharton, or my hotel could just burn and I could learn a really quick lesson about insurance.

Let’s do the math. We will assume that it takes eight hours for your basic Sheraton to combust, compared to the 14 weeks in a semester with approximately three hours of class a week for your run of the mill “insurance whatever” class. Does this kid have a time machine? Or just a really, really huge ego hotel?

Sophomore Rachel del Valle’s “Duly Noted” column this week discussed her propensity for fitting music into every aspect of her life. In fact, she quite literally explains her music selection for even the most mundane experiences:

I’d be folding laundry and think, “Wouldn’t this be so much better with some Frank Sinatra?” I’d be buttering toast and imagine how good Belle & Sebastian would sound combined with the scraping of the knife…Brushing my teeth? I’m going to need some Hall & Oates to make the Crest go down smoother.

We’d be lying to say we’ve never done the same (such a toast song!), but this perfectly demonstrates why we keep iPods in our pockets and Spotify profiles on private.

This past weekend saw the annual return of the highly anticipated Vagina Monologues shows in Irvine. The two performances on Friday and Saturday raised over $43,000 for the city’s only rape crisis center, Women Organized Against Rape. That’s pretty rad! So what’s the problem, you ask? College junior Simcha Katsnelson criticized the show for being occasionally counterproductive before centering on our society’s larger problem:

“I feel like people in our society have a really twisted conception of sex. Instead of talking about women being liberal with their bodies, we should have the opposite and talk about how sex is such a beautiful thing.”

Valid points, all.

“It’s not a commodity,” Katsnelson said. “It’s not something that you can just give to everyone like you give out a puss pop to everyone.”

Thank you.
