Sexual Deviant Wakes Up Student
The Collegian posted a disturbing and confusing story this afternoon.
A 50-year-old State College man was arrested Friday afternoon just hours after police say he broke into a Penn State student’s apartment and performed oral sex on the man while he was asleep.
That’s got to be one of the most frightening ways to be woken up. But here’s the part that convinced us there’s a more nuanced story here than simple sexual deviation.
Before the incident, the student was at Homan’s West College Avenue apartment before leaving at about 4 a.m. today, police said. The student had drank one beer and played a board game with the defendant and the defendant’s roommate, according to the criminal complaint.
What was their history? What happened when they were playing the board game?

Penn State and the Process of Life
To paraphrase Mark Twain: The reports of higher education’s death have been an exaggeration. American universities produce more research and relevant knowledge for the world at large than any other institutions I know of. Tuition may be too damn high, but over the long-run, undergraduate degrees are definitely worth the cost. But Penn State could be so much more. It used to be, I think.
