To most people, Halloween is this Monday, October 31. If you're reading this, though, chances are Halloween starts tonight. Maybe it even started a couple of days ago. In any event, you may find yourself at a Halloween party over the next half a week. Here are six people you should absolutely not be.
As you may have should have heard, last Saturday was the First Annual Media Dodgeball Fall Classic. For a full, mostly-accurate recap of the exciting matchup between Onward State, the Daily Collegian, Phroth, and Valley Magazine, check out Adam Smeltz's column from yesterday on StateCollege.com. Here are ten things that I learned.
Last week, we had the chance to meet briefly with all of the Homecoming Student Court candidates and ask them each a few questions that they probably don't get asked every day. Check them out below, and VOTE if you haven't already!

Others, though, have been held in awful, awful rooms, worse than a thousand hells simultaneously. With the help of both the always-lovely photographer extraordinaire Eric Weiss and Onward State's Twitter followers, I ventured into the bellies of the beasts and determined the five worst classrooms on campus.
By now, you've surely heard that the 2011 Homecoming Court was announced. Maybe you've even seen the video of the Court members being surprised in class. If you're an underclassman, you might be thinking to yourself, "Boy, that sure seems neat! How can I get onto the Homecoming Court?"

When we here at Onward State launched our redesign at the beginning of the Fall 2010 semester, we introduced a new feature: Community Content. It was one of my favorite new features--let the community write about whatever they want! Since then, we've gotten some great content. Recently, however, the Community Content portal has been used almost exclusively for event and club promotion. That's good and useful to an extent, but too much of it can cause the rest of the Community Content to be drowned out in noise.
