THON Child Alexia Barnett Passes Away
It is with a heavy heart that I write of the death of Alexia Barnett, one of Penn State’s beloved THON children, at age six. Many of you just recently took part in the “Love for Lexi: Meet Taylor Swift” campaign, which allowed Lexi’s dream to meet her favorite pop star come true. Lexi passed away last Saturday at home, in the company of her family.
Anyone would like to send flowers to her family or make any memorial contributions to the Love For Lexi Fund can find more information, as well as read her obituary, here.

Jim’s Army & Navy: The Greatest Store Ever
For those of you who have ventured onto the west side of Beaver Avenue, there is a good chance you have passed by Jim’s Army & Navy. If you are one of those people, your first thought when passing by Jim’s was most likely, “What the hell is going on in this store?” When a store’s window display boasts handcuffs (they even come in pink), switchblades, throwing stars, machetes, other swords, and ammunition, you really have no choice but to be utterly confounded. Little did I know that I was about to walk into the greatest store ever.
