Purdue football is enough to give anyone the urge to drink, but what about your grandmother?
Nestled between Burrowes and Atherton Street, the west campus steam/power plant (WCSP) has had a relatively quiet existence. And that’s not to diminish the impact the plant has on the community – it provides Penn State with 5% of the campus’s total electricity (on average) and heats the dorms and buildings during the winter. But for all its contributions to campus, the WCSP seems to be the forgotten story of Penn State.
While you may have focused on the football team's dominating win over Purdue this weekend, nine other Penn State teams were in action this weekend. It was a bit of a rough weekend for the Nittany Lions as a whole, as only four of the nine teams picked up wins.
Penn State wrestling had its second match of the season on Sunday afternoon, and despite being without several top wrestlers, the Nittany Lions defeated 25th ranked Lehigh, 22-12.
Some of you might remember the story from last year about Penn State student Alexis Gray who was arrested at Elon University in North Carolina after being found in possession with a Remington-597.22 caliber rifle, a knife, and 6.5 feet of rope. Almost one year later, and Gray now faces federal charges in United States District Court.
Penn State football's final home game next weekend against Nebraska was announced this morning as a 3:30 kickoff, with televised coverage on the Big Ten Network.
