Alumni Association Introduces Members to 21st Century
The Penn State Alumni Association has a section on their website called the Online HUB. Despite what you may assume, this site has nothing to do with the Hetzel Union Building and not a whole lot to do with Alumni. What the website does offer are “fun downloads”. This includes desktop themes, digital copies of various Penn State songs, ringtones, and the lyrics to many Penn State songs.
Thanks to this website, it appears that washed-up alumni can now relive their college glory days – on their computer! I decided to try out one of the desktop themes, so I downloaded it, unzipped the contents, and saw this text file:
This is the new Penn State University theme for Microsoft Windows 95 under the use of PLUS!
Apparently, PLUS! is a program that Microsoft discontinued with the introduction of Windows XP. So unless you’re running Windows 95 (anyone?), these desktop themes aren’t very much use to you. Oh well, at least their site doesn’t look like a 90’s Geocities page.

The Future of Footwear Comes to Penn State
A new fad has hit Penn State, one that threatens to be greater than Pogs, Pokemon, and Yo-yos combined. They make you feel like Buzz Aldrin, and make Sketchers’ ShapeUps look conservative. I’m referring, of course, to Kangoo Jumps (KJs). Already rumored to be featured on the Richard Simmons comeback exercise video (full disclosure: the author started this rumor…right now), Kangoo Jumps are taking State College by storm, in all their goofy glory.
