Distraction of the Day: GSpan Says

From the people who brought you "Advice Dog" and "Pun Raccoon", Onward State is proud to introduce "GSpan Says". We've made a few to get you started, but you can make your own here. Enjoy the LOLs.

THON Over, Penn State at a Loss for Words

46 hours and $9.56 million later, Penn State is unmistakably changed by THON. However, some are so dumbfounded that they no longer have anything else to talk about. Words literally escape these desperate THONers, they are at a loss for words. Join Marcus and I as we try to get to the bottom of this puzzling dilemma.

Community Manager: What Makes Great Community Content?

When we here at Onward State launched our redesign at the beginning of the Fall 2010 semester, we introduced a new feature: Community Content. It was one of my favorite new features--let the community write about whatever they want! Since then, we've gotten some great content. Recently, however, the Community Content portal has been used almost exclusively for event and club promotion. That's good and useful to an extent, but too much of it can cause the rest of the Community Content to be drowned out in noise.

Community Manager: How Should We Cover State Patty’s Day?

From reading the comments, though, it became clear (if it wasn't already clear) that there's a large rift in the State College community between the students who just want to have a day of drunken fun and the residents who don't want the town or themselves to be needlessly disturbed. I think it's important that we have an open, intelligent dialog about the issue, which is why I'm asking the following question:

What do you think should be done (if anything) about State Patty's Day, and how should Onward State be covering it?

What Should Onward State Write About?

Hello faithful readers. We here at Onward State have written about a lot in these past few weeks, from why to join a Sorority to the UPUA's marathon of arguments about the Student Handbook Commission. We've even brought back one of my most beloved features--The Natty Nittany.

But Onward State is a small organization. Stories can fall through the cracks in the bustling metropolis that is State College. That's why we're asking you, the readers, What should Onward State be covering?

Synthetic Meth Hazardous, Should be Illegal in U.S.

If you have an odd feeling that spiders have burrowed under your skin or that the FBI has wire-tapped your dorm room, you may be one of the many to discovered the legal high, bath salt. Described by some as synthesized meth, should this newest fix in the recreational drug scene be taken off of the market? Or do the people of this country have the right to stay up for days and scratch holes in their necks?
