You might have caught wind of the Facebook group “Stop Penn State from KILLING CATS.” Sounds pretty hard to believe coming from a school that has a cat for a mascot, right?
A colony of feral cats has slowly begun to inhabit Innovation Park over the past year. These cats live in the wild with minimal human contact, meaning they can act unpredictably when encountered. What does this mean for the buildings and day care in Innovation Park? Danger.
And if there is one thing Penn State doesn't like - it's danger.
Remember the guy that nearly crushed Talor Battle in a post-game, passionate man hug? He's writing his own Penn State Basketball Blog, Battle Does It Again.
Now, we don't cover Men's Basketball as much as we could here, mainly because we don't have a beat writer and many of you would get tired of me repeating "wow, this is a very bad team" over and over. But for those of you who are curious about the "State of the Program," read on for an excerpt that sums it up nicely.
PSMA is putting together a free concert with help from UPAC on Thursday, March 18th at 8pm in Alumni Hall. That’s right, I said free!
You may think that because it’s free it’d be some chump musicians. But no! It’s Mike Posner, an up-and-coming-recently-signed hip–hop artist, rapper Big Sean, and mash-up superstar E-603 (If you’re still uncertain of the quality, you can check out some tunes on the event’s Facebook page).
Tickets will be available March 3rd in the HUB from 10-4 with a PSU id, and, if there are any left over, March 16th from 10-2. Did I mention it’s free?
Here at Onward State, we no longer run our This Week In Penn State Sports feature. For those of you who miss it - thankfully, GoPSUSports.com does the exact same thing on its YouTube Channel.
It's a great resource for highlights - this week's edition features footage of Wrestling, Basketball, Gymnastics, Lacrosse, and more.
The applications for 2010 Homecoming Captains have just been posted. True to the spirit of how we do things here at Dear Old State, homecoming's a huge production. There are 13 total committees with a handful of positions on each. There are 3 relations committees (Alumni, University, and Public), and the positions range all the way from Security to Ice Cream Social Captain.
Should you be selected to be a captain, you'll be under the Homecoming Executive Committee, made up of 16 of the more ambitious Penn Staters you'll meet. A lot of them, from their bio pages, are involved in THON and a bunch of other groups around campus as well.
The application itself is fairly simple; with the usual name, class, major stuff, and then five short answer type questions about why you want to be part of Homecoming, how you will contribute, and all that good stuff. You can download the application here. If you apply, good luck!
The audience roared with applause and offered a standing ovation to the sextet, who graced the stage once again for an encore. The touring Monterey Jazz Festival performed in Eisenhower Auditorium last night, and they delighted the audience with intricate, energized melodies. The sextet included singer Kurt Elling, guitarist Russell Malone, violinist Regina Carter, bassist […]
