During your time at Penn State, you have surely hopefully gone to class at least once. Some of these classes may have been in lovely, or at least serviceable, locales. Others, though, have been held in awful, awful rooms, worse than a thousand hells simultaneously. With the help of both the always-lovely photographer extraordinaire Eric Weiss and Onward State's Twitter followers, I ventured into the bellies of the beasts and determined the five worst classrooms on campus.
On the corner of Curtin and Burrowes Road, right next to the Lion Shrine, is one of the oldest buildings on campus (and from the looks of it, I don't doubt it). Climbing to the top of Rec Hall was extremely difficult due to its desperate need of new sturdy ladders; my physical plant guide was even hesitant on taking me to the top. This athletic facility provides students with 2 gymnasiums, 14 racquetball courts, 10 squash courts, indoor track, aerobics room, fitness center, and adaptive weight room but is primarily used for volleyball and basketball . Students only have access to three floors , but a tiny door in the wall leads to the first roof of the complex. Up three more thin rusty steel ladders is the top of Rec Hall, with its perfect view down Curtin Road.
Looks like Movin' On organizers listened to last year's suggestions from students to get started on finding acts early. They released this year's first survey on Saturday, posting it on their facebook account.
The Abba Java Coffee on East College Avenue is offering free cooking classes every Wednesday at 5:00!
Yesterday evening students climbed the Old Main bell tower as part of the second TEDxPSU mini event. A brief tour of Old Main was capped off by early evening views of Penn State's campus and downtown State College.
Penn State College of Medicine researchers have found a virus that kills human breast cancer cells. The virus, Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2), is a non-disease forming virus that typically infects humans. Researchers have discovered that AAV2 attacks the tumor cells found in cervical cancer cells that have been infected with the human papilloma virus (HPV).
