Earlier this afternoon, THON tweeted that due to an incoming storm front, they were reconsidering the weekend's fundraising, urging students not to head-out yet. THON has now confirmed that they have canceled Canning Weekend #3 "due to weather forecast of icing that is detrimental to volunteer safety for travel and canning."
How would slobbering, blacked out frat bros respond to a man repeller outfit? Would the contrast from all the other practically naked chicks entice them or would they just think I was there by mistake? I mean. can you imagine if I showed up somewhere in shoulder pads or boyfriend jeans? Not only would I go home alone, but probably in a straight jacket as well.

Admittedly, last night was the first time I have attended a UPUA meeting in nearly a year, and it was also my first time actually having to pay attention (which is harder than it may seem). Any reasonable person, like myself, would come in with high expectations. I was hoping for an enlivened Anthony Weiner-esque speech from President T.J.

After all, galvanizing democracy is what I have come to know from my student-leaders, why should I imagine any different?
The Penn State Men’s Basketball Team will welcome the 22nd ranked Fighting Illini to the Bryce Jordan Center for a Big Ten conference clash. The game is a primetime 9 pm start and will be broadcasted on ESPN2. For students, if you wear a gray Penn State shirt to the game, attendance is FREE.
