These 4 Penn Friends Want You To Lend for Peace

What happens when 4 Penn alumni come together to raise money for a good cause? Ask (l to r in pic in left) David Fraga (C'07, Mask and Wig, Sphinx Senior Society, Performing Arts Council), Allam Taj, (Law '09), Sam Adelsberg (C'10), and Andrew Dudum (C'11).

In February, these 4 created LendforPeace.org, a non-profit microfinance platform focused on the Middle East and was recently featured on Fox Business (see interview clip above featuring David Fraga).

LendforPeace.org was founded by these four Penn students (two Jews and two Palestinians) on the premise that grassroots economic development through microfinance may help increase stability in the Middle East. While the founders disagree about a lot of things, it is hard to disagree about a mission of poverty alleviation and job creation.

Supported by such institutions as the Clinton Global Initiative and Ashoka (the largest association of social entrepreneurs in the world), Lendforpeace.org was launched on February 5th at an event on Penn's campus.

Mask and Wig Closes Fling With Some Clever "D#ck" Jokes (VIDEO)

Another Fling, another year of cheers and hisses over some clever "dick" jokes from Mask and Wig.

Watch above to find out how the group incorporated Canada and other popular references into this year's (2009) Spring Fling "Nude Bit". (for those Friars and Sphinx members out there, stick around for the last joke!)

...If you watch the first exchange, you'll hear the following dialogue:

"Excuse Me Noah, I think you put that shoe on wrong"
Reply: "It's because I have a foot dick"

Can you come up with a better reply line?  
...Tweet me HERE with your response!

You'll Never Guess What He Set a World Record For

Looks like Nicholas Fritzhand (C'06, Mask and Wig, Sphinx) recently set a world, or rather "universal" record for a very unique talent.

Regarding the video above, per the URDB.com site,

"In an impressive showing of speed, dance, and sychronicity, Nicholas Fritzhand, Ronnie Gensler, and Jon Heilman complete 63 triple time steps in one minute, a new world record.

The performance took place at a World Record Appreciation Society event in New York City on January 7, 2009."

Nicholas has been tapping since he was in third grade, choreographed and danced with mask and wig, and made guest appearances with arts house dance company while at penn.  After graduation, he spent a couple months professionally dancing in barcelona with Tapeplas.
