The process is not extremely challenging, but missing any step in the process would mean spending much more money to buy either season tickets or individual tickets to each game. Read on for the full breakdown.
Penn State will host the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association men's volleyball championship on Thursday and Saturday and are the favorites to win the title for the eleventh consecutive time. However, if the regular season was any indication, the team will have to play at or near their best to win the title.
On Thursday, Penn State will take on Springfield College. The winner will advance to play either Princeton or George Mason on Saturday. The winner of the championship game will get one of the three guaranteed berths to the NCAA semifinals.

If you are looking for something to do this Blue and White weekend other than the football game, you should check out the All-Sports Museum.

Jonathan Lynch, a professor of plant nutrition at Penn State, is trying to solve the world's growing food shortage problem. To do this, he is not focusing on growing plants up. Instead, he is trying to grow them down.
Lynch and his colleagues are trying to develop roots that will resist drought and can find nutrients in poor soil by reaching farther down into the ground. Because these roots are able to gather more nutrients, there is less need for irrigation and costly nitrogen fertilizers. Run off containing these fertilizers may also pollute the water supply, which is another reason to reduce their use.

For Tom Pennella, a junior studying Business Management, this Thursday is the realization of three years of work making people aware of National High Five Day. For the past two years, Pennella has been running a free lemonade stand to recognize this day.
"I just paid for it out of my own pocket," Pennella said, adding, "It was just a fun thing to do."
This year, Pennella's lemonade stand is being sponsored by The LION Radio Station. Along with the free lemonade at the HUB lawn from 12-4 p.m., there will be a free drawing for two tickets to the Pitchfork Music Festival.
"I'm glad The LION is sponsoring it...because I'm broke," Pennella said.
You need not worry if you see people in orange jumpsuits outside of the Willard Building on Monday, April 12. They are just students trying to increase awareness for CentrePeace.
CentrePeace is a leader in restorative justice in Centre County that works with the State Correctional Institute at Rockview and the Centre County Correctional Facility. They have birthday and Christmas-card programs, a prayer-mate program and a secondhand goods store.
The issue of restorative justice is more pressing than one might think. According to their campaign's Web site, 95 percent of people in prison are going to get out one day. The restorative justice program aids these people in their transition from prison life back into the community.
