In a shocking and groundbreaking move, the Daily Collegian has selected Boone, a dog, as its next Editor-in-Chief.
"We really felt it was the most responsible thing to do," said Jim Rodenbush, the Daily Collegian's news adviser. "The last 125 years have seen human after human after human become Editor-in-Chief. Where's the diversity?"

A year ago, I was challenged to come up with a poem about State Patty's Day to which I said, "Challenge accepted". A Visit From State Patrick was born and posted the day before State Patty's 2011. Now, with popular demand wanting it to be republished, I present it to you again. We would just republish the old story, but the poem was printed onto a picture which was lost when we switched servers. It is important to note that this is NOT AN ENDORSEMENT of State Patty's Day. I wrote the poem and I wish the "holiday" would die once and for all. That should quell any fears of the editorial staff being hypocrites as it pertains to SPD.

This week, Onward State will be implementing a pilot program to see how our website’s community would benefit from Facebook integration with our comment system. We have a hunch that Facebook integration will bring forth a new dawn of accountability and thusly raise the level of discourse on our website. You’re still welcome to accuse Kevin Horne of being a virgin in our comment section (encouraged, even), but just know that now we’re going to “poke” you when you do.
