After a Committee of the Whole discussion last Wednesday, UPUA was back in action this week and passed two pieces of legislation last night.

In the most recent Meet the THON 2014 Directors post, we sat down with Public Relations Director Dana Giacobello to discuss the role of Public Relations in THON.

“There has been a word that has been thrown around about this team -- resiliency -- a bunch of guys who never quit and never give up,” Carson said of the senior class's legacy. “We have gone through a lot of ups and downs, not only this season but in our football careers, but I think we will be remembered as that word."

In a career that has already been defined by his ability to overcome the odds, Matt McGloin has made another step towards reaching his dream on Wednesday when Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen named him as the team's starter this weekend. McGloin made his NFL debut as a starting quarterback last Sunday against the Houston Texans in place of an injured Terrelle Pryor, throwing three touchdowns and leading Oakland to a victory.

Senior Day is only three days away, which means more than a dozen Penn State football players will say goodbye to Beaver Stadium. Two of those players -- Garry Gilliam and John Urschel -- have become fan favorites among students after five seasons on the team.

Another attempt to reform the Penn State Board of Trustees is now in the works, this time in legislation proposed by state Sen. John Yudichak.
