Penn State men's volleyball coach Mark Pavlik has been associated with the university for most of his life. Pavlik, who graduated from Penn State in 1982, played as a setter for the volleyball team. After graduating, Pavlik served as an assistant coach at Penn State for five years before taking over the head coaching job. Pavlik earned his 400th victory as head coach earlier this season, and under his guidance, the Nittany Lions won the 2008 National Championship. Onward State got a chance to talk with Pavlik about a variety of subjects ranging from the state of men's volleyball to what kind of dinosaur he would like to be.
It was the end of an era this past Wednesday night as UPUA president-elect TJ Bard was sworn into office, becoming the figurehead of the student government's Sixth Assembly.

Want Jesus to answer your most difficult questions? So do we, but you've got the wrong article. Want answers about Jesus Christ Superstar from the man himself? That we can do. Ladies and gentleman, meet Jesus. Part time Jesus that is, because after Saturday he reverts back to Rob McNeil, freshman Penn State student and member of the Penn State Thespians. Oh the perks of being a Jesus.
The semester may be winding down, but Greek organizations on campus are still actively involved and eagerly awaiting Greek Week. We caught up with Greek Week Overall Shannon Fusina, and learned that it is about much more than themed socials and day-longing.
In between the awe-inspiring chaos of THON and the looming headaches in the leadup to and fallout from State Patty's Day, the Greek community is very busy this time of year. Luckily, Panhellenic Council President Paige Rothaus answers our questions about the current state of the Greeks at Penn State and moving forward.
