Across the Ist-a-Verse
- The city's schools may be taking some cost-cutting measures, but one place they're increasing spending (to the tune of $3 mil.) is to combat truancy. Apparently about 1 in 5 Philly public school students are truant every day.
- Philadelphia's homicide count hit 358 Wednesday night, with the deadly shooting of a 19-year old on the 5300 block of Hazelhurt Street.
- Bank robbers in the Frankford area of the city apparently left some "money and clothes" at the scene of their crime. The money they got away with was without dyepacks, so police are hoping their leave-behinds will be their undoing.
- Andy Warhol may have made Campbell Soup art, but Campbell Soup heiress, Dorrance H. Hamilton has done one better - she's contributing to the future of art by giving $25 million to the University of the Arts via her charitable trust.
