Hey Day? No way.

Posted by Chris Stover on May 19, 2008

While perusing the competition’s Web site, I decided to check out some of the Daily Pennsylvanian’s videos.  I stumbled upon the latest about what they apparently call Hey Day.

The University of Pennsylvania’s President Amy Gutmann actually declared, “By the power vested in me…I now pronounce you SENIORS!”

Temple kids — can you see President Ann Weaver Hart making such a declaration to us?  Can you imagine Temple students acting the way Penn’s did?

Maybe it’s the whole 4-year graduation thing.  I mean, who really is a senior anymore?  It’s almost 35 percent who graduate in four years…and after the fourth year, everyone’s technically a senior of some sort.

Anyway…I thought it was interesting.  Plus, I have a little crush on President Gutmann.  (Sorry, President Hart.)
