Student Affairs is spreading Christmas Cheer by playing "Elf" in the HUB starting Thursday night.

The HUB will be filled with the indie beats of Brooklyn-based band, DIIV, with opening acts, the Infected Flies and Pantomime Dame. This is a free Thursday night show, hosted by SOMA at Alumni Hall beginning at 8 p.m. with doors opening at 7:30 p.m.

The sound of sweet acoustic guitar and a vibrant trumpet resound from the corner of Allen Street and College Avenue outside of The Corner Room. Seated on a park bench is AudioTrak., a prospective Penn State student and musician who has given the streets a soundtrack of a unique blend of traditional street performing and an utterly impressive beat box rhythm. Onward State sat down for a video interview with the one-man-band to get a feel for the musician who's bringing an interesting artistic appeal to the streets of State College.

Frank Warren of PostSecret came to Penn State to share some secrets that he has received in his mailbox, and to invite the community to share some of their own.

As part of the Student Programming Association's Distinguished Speaker series, Grammy-winning artist John Legend will speak and perform at Eisenhower Auditorium on Monday, January 14.

It's December, and that means we'll all be inundated with Christmas music soon enough. For this week's Music Monday, the Onward State staff mixed things up a bit. Instead of focusing on five songs, this week we're focusing on a large mix of songs for your upcoming ugly Christmas sweater parties, and to help get everybody into the holiday spirit. Don't be a Grinch -- break out the eggnog, and put some cheer in your life!
