Penn-Princeton Game Who: Penn Basketball When and where: Today, 7 p.m.; The Palestra Why: You know, basketball? That's the one where they kick the ball into the net. Or there are ice skates involved in some way? Well, anyway, our freshman year roommate said it was a big deal, so we're going to check it out ourselves because SPORTS RAH RAH RAH.

PENNFIT Body Composition Measurements Who: PENNFIT When and where: Friday, 8 a.m.- 6 p.m.; Pottruck (pre-registration required) Why: Want to discover more about your body?

Yeah, if you wanna know about your body fat percentage, head over to PENNFIT's composition measurement assessments. And remember– we'll think you're pretty no matter what the numbers say.
