Will Martin, Overall OPPerations Chairperson for THON 2012, is the guy making sure the Bryce Jordan Center is looking its best this weekend. It all starts Wednesday night when Martin will pick up all the dancer and kids mail from the HUB-Robeson Center and deliver it outside the BJC in a trailer where it will remain until THON begins. The Morale Committee has been working hard to sort all the mail this week in order to have it ready for distribution THON weekend.
THON is tomorrow. Literally. That means it's time to make some THON Prop Bets! What is a prop bet, you may ask? A prop bet is short for proposition bet. Basically, it's a bet on something not commonly betted upon. For example, lots of people bet on the score of the Super Bowl, but how many people bet on how many times the winning coach will say "humbled" in the post-game press conference? That's a prop bet. You can find out more on Grantland (or research it yourself. I'm not doing your homework for you).

THON Weekend is full of rockin' bands, enthralling dance troupes, and many other acts.

Find out what ENT Overall Kinjal Mathur and his Committee have been up to all year, and watch his Committee of the Week video.
It's hard to be upset with how Penn State played against Nebraska last Saturday, but the 67-51 beat down just wasn't enough for some students. As any seasoned Penn State basketball fan knows, Penn State needs to score 70 for the "BIG MAC ATTACK" promotion, which entitles every ticket holder to a free Bic Mac at McDonalds.
Have you ever counted to about ten million? I didn't think so, but for THON Finance Overall Vicki Marone, this is a daily task.
