Your Time to Shine

Are you the kind of person that sits around all day thinking of names for things (scientist, rapper, politician)? Well, the Eberly College of Science has just the opportunity for you! The Eberly College is adding a new student center to the Ritenour building:

The east wing of Ritenour Building will soon be home to science undergraduate co-op, internship, and externship information, as well as advising and career advice...vitally important career resources, brought together in one place. This new student center, designed specially for science students, will provide comfortable furnishings and space to study, learn, and collaborate.

It's like the HUB... only for science kids. Anyways, they need help coming up with a name for the student center. What would you receive for your efforts?

Four runners-up will also receive a $50 gift certificate. You can enter as many times as you like until January 25.

Penn State Brings Home Academic BCS Victory

hen you sit down to watch Texas and Alabama square off in the BCS National Championship tomorrow, take some solace in the fact that if the BCS was based on academics, neither team would be in the Big Game.


Instead, you'd be cheering on Dear Old State (ranked #1) as they battled against Stanford (ranked #2) in Pasadena. In the New America Foundation academic ratings of the Top 25 ranked teams, Alabama ends up ranked 8th and Texas ranked a lowly 25th.

Search and Seizure in Your College Dorm

Can the campus police search your dorm room without a warrant? A startling new ruling suggests “yes.” In 2007, Boston College police officers received a tip that two students were harboring weapons in their dorm room.
