Governor Tom Corbett announced yesterday two nominations for the Penn State Board of Trustees -- Cliff Benson and football letterman Todd Rucci.

Freshmen in fraternities generally don’t get to experience much of a free year. Pledging usually takes up more than a half of a semester, either in the fall or the spring.
