After meeting and interviewing all four UPUA presidential tickets on Tuesday night in a closed-door meeting in Thomas Building, the Penn State Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council announced that they would be endorsing the TJ Bard-Courtney Lennartz ticket in the upcoming election. Bard and Lennartz will now have the support of the most recognizable student groups on campus, gaining access to their listserv thus being able to communicate directly with the students making up the fraternities and sororities in the organizations.
As Onward State's resident optimist, I took a look at Movin' On's headliners through my rose-colored Ray Bans in an attempt to shed a ray of sunlight into the wide-spread dissatisfaction surrounding the selection of the main acts. By taking a look at each artist, I searched below the angry Facebook comments for anything positive to rant about. Do you think O.A.R., Lupe Fiasco and Little Big Town are worthy to grace the same stage as past acts such as Fall Out Boy, Run DMC and Jimmy Eat World? Or do you think that Penn State's annual end-of-the-year concert is shaping up to be a let down?
P.T. Barnum once famously said that there's no such thing as bad publicity, but David Adewumi, along with his running mate Sri Pisupati, seems destined to contest that theory.
Though the UPUA election season only began 9 days ago, Adewumi has found himself time and time again thrust into the limelight, and, more often than not, it hasn't been positive press. Before the campaigning even began, Adewumi was ruled ineligible. At Monday's debate, he and Pisupati were conspicuous in their absence, and yesterday the two were convicted of four campaign violations that will set them back more than $200 of the allotted $600 for presidential campaigns.
