For local business owners, State Patty's Day means a different kind of green. I caught up with some of State College's favorite places to eat, drink, and be merry to find out what the influx of State Patty's Day revelers meant for their bottom line.
Trying for one last crazy party before it's bon voyage State College? Want to kick off Spring Break 2011 as big as possible? Try stopping by The Mezzanine at 420 East College Ave for a hip hop show to remember. The Spring Break Colors Party is kicking off tonight at 9:00 p.m. and features local hip-hop phenomenon Primary Element.
The Nittany Lions will take to the Bryce Jordan Center one last time this season (until they host a home game in the NIT, that is) on Tuesday night for Senior Night. Jared Sullinger and the number-one ranked Ohio State Buckeyes come to Happy Valley looking to secure a top seed in both the Big Ten Tournament next week and the Big Dance.

Looking for something that looks great on a resume? Then by all means, run for a spot on the University Park Undergraduate Association. But if you're actually one of those young idealists who's hoping to make an impact on the Penn State community, your efforts might be better served elsewhere. It's not UPUA's fault that they're largely a committee without significant authority--I can't imagine a student government at any level that would be tasked with making legitimate, important decisions that would actually affect any college or university. With billions of dollars, thousands of jobs, and worldwide prestige on the line, it would be foolish to give students more than nominal control. You can't have the inmates running the asylum.
