As part of my 2008 goals for DuelingTampons.com, I want to bring you yet another "series" which I'm calling "Penn videos that will give you the chills". As you'll see this week, I've chosen some very cool videos from undergrads and alumni which embody a great combination of artistic style, (in some cases) music, and most importantly, passion.

Actress Elizabeth Banks (C'96) has been doing everything from comedies, to dramas to horror films. Well, come this Sunday, she's about to saddle up and do a Western in CBS's Comanche Moon, the 3 part series prequel to the Pulitzer prize winning book, "Lonesome Dove". Liz plays Maggie Tilton, a young prostitute who bears a son to the Texas Ranger Woodrow F. Call.

There are all types of people at Penn.

These types seem to have stayed true through the decades ...from the "animals" we find in the library to the "princesses" we see around campus.

I just found this fun little video which brings us a day in the life of today's Penn "rich girl".

Click here to check out what Penn alum doctor and actor Roy Vongtama (C'96) told us from his appearance from this week's episode of Style Network's "Hot Guys Who Cook".

From the page: "As we can all attest, at one point or another, finals have gotten the best of all of us.

Having experienced his first semester of finals, freshman Ben Grinberg (C'11) thinks the desire for success during finals turns all of us into animals.

See what I mean and check out his class project video for Video I!"

While Ray Evans (W'36, Mask and Wig) and his songwriting partner Jay Livingston (C'37) wrote over 400 songs for Broadway musicals, TV and films (including the Mr. Ed theme song), they were probably best known for writing this Christmas song. Click to find out!

Combine talent with some reverse playback and we've got ourselves a very entertaining video. Per the group's co-president (featured in photo to left), Ronny Gallegos (C' 08), the video is a tribute to Spike Jonze who directed the Pharcyde's music video 'Drop.' We put our own spin on it."
