For the first time in weeks, the University Park Undergraduate Association actually dealt with a controversial issue. After tabling the issue two weeks ago, UPUA took on the voter identification bill currently awaiting the Pennsylvania State Senate, deliberating on whether they should publicly state opposition to the legislation.

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.
