Joe Dado's death wasn't a story, it was an event. From the initial reports of a missing student to the organized search parties, until the final disheartening conclusion, Penn State, it seemed, could focus on nothing but that wide-eyed freshman in the yellow t-shirt. It permeated beyond State College, where thousands searched every corner of the town--Dado's story hit the national media. And though it wasn't necessarily disingenuous, how we responded to the situation reveals more about Penn State than the fact that one of our own died. How many of us knew Joe Dado? He'd been on campus for all of three weeks. And yet, so many of us were quick to respond--not just with an outpouring of emotion, but taking action, scouring every corner of this campus for days.
