After failures in the machines prompted a removal in December, wine kiosks will be returning to Pennsylvania stores, including the Wegmans on North Atherton St, according to an article published earlier this week in the Daily Collegian.
Who says good movies don't get shown in State College? Later this week Howl is coming to the State Theatre.
Howl depicts the life and times of Beat Generation icon Allen Ginsberg (played by the versatile James Franco... have you seen 127 Hours yet?). The film pivots around the eponymous poem, and the obscenity trial in which it was nearly banned. Don Draper-- I mean, Jon Hamm plays his attorney.

With a little pushing and lots of comments on my ideal Movin' On lineup, the ball seems to be rolling a little faster. Movin' On's third survey was released yesterday, trimming many of the artists who had been on the the previous survey.
This time students rate the artists individually from a scale of 1 to 5. A few of my ideas (and many of yours) made it into this list of potential artists.
Some students have already caught the sweeping trend, but for others that haven't, the PSU Bar Tour App is here! Those unfamiliar with the app should know that it is a complete list of every bar and their specials for the night, including the bands and happy hour times. For many students, this is a lifesaver. I mean, who doesn't love a complete list of bars in the palm of their hands? The app also include a unique GPS function to locate the bars near you as well as specific dates of specials. Week summaries are also available on the app.
The Collegian is reporting that one month after being found guilty of furnishing alcohol to minors, Alpha Tau Omega fraternity was sentenced to pay a $500 fine and serve community service.
The misdemeanor charge stems from the September 19, 2009 evening in which freshman Joe Dado was found dead in an exterior stairwell between Hosler and Steidle buildings. This is the second misdemeanor furnishing charge brought against Alpha Tau Omega by the Centre County District attorney. The first charge was dismissed last July.
