THON 2013 Important Dates, No Spring Canning

Yesterday’s THON Newsletter announced the important dates for the THON 2013 season. There will only be three canning weekends, and they all will take place during the fall semester. This major change is most likely in response to last year’s occurrence and the dangers of traveling in the winter weather. Here are the dates:

  • Canning Weekend #1: September 28-30, 2012
  • Canning Weekend #2: October 19-21, 2012
  • Canning Weekend #3: November 9-11, 2012
  • THON 5K: October 13, 2012
  • THON Weekend: February 15-17, 2013

Ryan Kristobak

Hailing from Lebanon, PA, I am a senior majoring in print journalism. Things I enjoy include lovesacs, denim, mullets, Fight Milk, Jonny Moseley, and "hang in there" kitten posters. Things that bother me include "fun" sized candy bars (not fun), fish, shoobies, wet door knobs, baby leashes, and Jake Lloyd.

Jim’s Army & Navy: The Greatest Store Ever

For those of you who have ventured onto the west side of Beaver Avenue, there is a good chance you have passed by Jim’s Army & Navy. If you are one of those people, your first thought when passing by Jim’s was most likely, “What the hell is going on in this store?” When a store’s window display boasts handcuffs (they even come in pink), switchblades, throwing stars, machetes, other swords, and ammunition, you really have no choice but to be utterly confounded. Little did I know that I was about to walk into the greatest store ever.
