So where is this pay-out money coming from? Penn State's PR machine has been quick to mention that it is not coming directly from tuition dollars, which is technically true, although it stands to reason a six-figure dent in another university account still affects students. Instead, the bribe money is coming from the Student Parking Endowment fund, which goes to fund a number of important student services.
State Patty’s Day is this weekend. The rowdy, ridiculous, “rootinest, tootinest, shootinest” binge-drinking extravaganza descends annually upon downtown State College every March, leading to unparalleled levels of debauchery.
For two Pennsylvania natives, bringing authentic Texas-style barbecue to State College has been a journey more than twenty years in the making.
Imagine a store where you can find everything you love about central Pennsylvania all in one place. There would be Goot Essa cheeses to pair with Gemelli bread, and Tait Farm shrubs to make the perfect cocktail. Imagine one store where all of your favorite local food artisans have products available for you to enjoy every day.
Prior to yesterday, I had been inside of Gamers Arena on 421 E. Calder Way once. It was during my freshman year while I was on a Pokémon kick (you’ve gotten them too, don’t deny it) and I stopped inside to see if they had some sort of Gameboy accessory that I needed, though I can’t remember exactly which. Probably a charger.
Most downtown clothing stores are opting not to sell State Patty's clothing this year due to low demand, and the surrounding community's negative view of the student-run holiday.
