Spring Break
The Penn Coach Yard chimney, or the more colloquial term amongst students for the structure, the Drexel Shaft, will be imploded on a date still to be determined, according to Karina Romero, spokeswoman for Amtrak. Amtrak plans to exploit the open property for the purpose of better security and emergency access to existing utility tunnels as well as the construction of a parking facility for maintenance and construction vehicles.
Dear SEPTA, On behalf of Drexel commuters, professors and co-op students alike, we'd like to extend our appreciation for your services. You are the reason many of us are able to get to class or work everyday at a reasonable rate. Sure, sometimes we become irate when your machines eat our tokens or your trains leave the platform without us, but we eventually get over it.
The Drexel wrestling team is coming off a subpar season by its standards, finishing 10-15-1 last season. However, their first chance to prove they are no longer a sub-.500 team will happen Nov. 7 as they travel to College Park, Md. to face 10th-ranked University of Maryland.
We all look forward to the holiday season, our memories filled with the warmth of freshly baked cookies, slow roasted dinners, soft sweater-draped hugs and crackling fires. Yet in that excited anticipation which starts with the first cold spell of the season, we forget that with November may come a familiar chill that has nothing to do with the weather.

As I write this, the Philadelphia Phillies prepare to play the New York Yankees on Halloween. They may well be playing past Election Day. There has never been a major league baseball game in November with the exception of 2001, when the 9/11 attacks interrupted the regular season schedule.
Why should you come out this weekend and support the Drexel field hockey team? Simple: because they're on the verge of making history. The 10th-ranked Dragons have already amassed a program-record 17 victories, earned homefield advantage throughout the Colonial Athletic Association Championships and stand just two wins away from capturing the second-ever CAA title in Drexel history.
If you know when to go, Mad Mex near Walnut and 34th is a much better place to eat than many people give it credit for. It has a great location,an exciing menu, well done food, and, if you go between 2 and 4 p.m. from Monday through Thursday, you can get most of what you order for half off! As far as I am concerned, inexpensive tasty Tex-Mex is in the top ten list of what many college kids enjoy.
