The Brewery is hosting a benefit concert and auction tonight to help Jim Saxman, a State College resident and local taxi driver, pay for $100,000 in medical bills.
Being the resident OS straight edge, I had never even heard of a kegs and eggs party until last night. A quick Google search explained to me that a “Kegs and Eggs” social is basically a morning keg party with food. I was surprised to find that the “eggs” in the title actually referred to food instead of some outrageous concoction of green liquor. If drinking/feasting in the a.m. is your thing (and it's pretty much something anyone could get behind) you should definitely host one of these babies this Saturday morning.
In an effort to discourage out-of-town visitors for State Patty’s Day weekend, Residence Life is implementing a guest policy effective Friday and Saturday for all on-campus residence halls. All on-campus students living in regular double rooms will be permitted one guest per room for Friday and Saturday of this weekend. Students living in supplemental living spaces will be allowed two guests.
As the borough gears up to combat State Patty's Day, State College Chief of Police Tom King sent a letter to apartment landlords and residents urging them to exercise caution and restraint this weekend. The letter can be found below

So if you're going to go to class sick (and we all are) we need to follow some basic rules.
