Penn State (6-1, 3-0 Big Ten) faces an interesting test when it takes on Northwestern (2-4, 0-3 Big Ten) on Saturday at 7 p.m. The Wildcats have not performed well this season, but they do seem to always give the Nittany Lions trouble. Last year, Northwestern jumped out to a big lead before Penn State came back to win, 35-21, for Joe Paterno's 400th victory. If Penn State's previous two road games are any indicators, this will be a close, error-filled affair in Evanston, Ill.
As a student who attends one of the largest schools in Pennsylvania, it is not uncommon to have visitors on the weekends who want to experience the 7th best party school in the nation. Whether you're a freshman looking for a party or a senior exploring the bars, there's a lot to consider when you welcome friends and relatives into your college home for a PSU weekend. Here's some advice on how to prepare and what to do.
It seems like everybody and their uncle at Penn State has been picking up mics lately and trying to spit rhymes. First, Primary Element came on the scene. Then there was U, Greg Falatek and Chewi. Even Kevin Newsome has tried his hand at the rap game. And let us not forget the unfortunate slew of "Blue and White" Khalifa remixes.
It's time to add one more name to that list. But before you roll your eyes this time around, give a listen to some of ESQ's tracks to find out what sets him truly apart from the rest.
The act by UPUA’s steering committee on Sunday of closing their session to the public was, strictly speaking, a legal use of their authority. UPUA bylaws stipulate that all meetings must be public, but (in the parlance of Robert's Rules) it’s germane to suspend bylaws and enter executive (private) session provided ⅔ of voting members agree. This move, while legal, is unethical, much in the same way that it is legal (but unethical) to write “UPUA fucking sucks.”
The University Park Undergraduate Association's first town hall meeting of the year was a lot like a Passover Seder--in that listing all the reasons why Wednesday night's meeting was different from all other meetings would take quite a while. For one, there were dozens of students in attendance, rather than the scant two or three who typically show up. Open Student Forum wasn't just a formality, but an avenue for constituents to voice their opinions. And the location--in the HUB already occupied by a tent village not twenty feet away--made for an interesting situation, where anyone without a microphone could hardly be heard over the din.
