Balancing classes and a social life can be difficult for most students. For Elliott Killian, that's nothing. See, back in the fall of 2011, Elliott was elected Ferguson Township Supervisor for the 3rd Ward of the township at only 19.
The difficult part for Elliott wasn't getting elected. His father was his predecessor who's term limit was up and he ran unopposed. Now it was perfectly legal for him to be elected at such a young age, but the real problem lied in the township's home rule charter which made it illegal for someone to take office unless they were 21.
After years of discussion in student government circles, the prospect of having a permanent student-selected student trustee on the Penn State Board of Trustees made its biggest step forward at today's Committee on Governance and Long-Range Planning meeting.
It's 2 a.m., you're laying in bed after a long night of drinking, and all you want is a Crunchwrap Supreme or a chalupa from Taco Bell. There's just one problem: you're drunk as a sailor, and there's no way you're going to stumble from your apartment to 310 E. College Ave and get them. Luckily, four students have come up with a solution. Meet Drunk Deliveries, a new student-run company thatdelivers you Taco Bell when you're inebriated.
Another week at Penn State means another week of the strong wheels of student government in action. With one last meeting before spring break, UPUA had a packed agenda last night as three pieces of legislation hit the floor and a new Chief Justice was up for vote.
The Engineering Leadership Society left the Nittany Lion Inn on February 15 with a trophy, $300, and a trip to the Center of Science and Industry in Columbus, Ohio on April 12, 2014 to represent Penn State at the National Rube Goldberg Machine Contest. Their machine proved to be the most inefficient, and ended the 5-year winning streak of the previous champions.
For the first time since 1992, Penn State will welcome a new sorority to campus -- two, in fact. Penn State Panhellenic Delegates voted last night to reopen two sorority chapters: Phi Sigma Sigma and Delta Phi Epsilon.
