If you've ever been disappointed by the food at the dining commons, you're not alone. The Real Food Challenge is a nation-wide student campaign with a goal of increasing the amount of real food ("real" meaning sustainable, local, and nutritional) being served on college campuses.
It seems only natural that current UPUA Vice President Katelyn Mullen will run for President of the 8th assembly, but will we really see her name on the ballot?
The College Republicans and College Democrats came together last night to talk about a hot topic both in Washington, and nation-wide. In the wake of some of the most tragic and deadly shootings in America, gun control debates are raging across the country, and for about an hour or so, Penn State had our very own in 073 Willard.
I may wear a green hat this weekend. I may not. I may have my first drink before noon (let's do Jameson on the rocks). I may not. But you bet your ass I'm going to get drunk. Not because it's some made-up Irish drinking holiday. Because I'm a college student with a bad case of senioritis and it's the weekend.
An argument could be made that I am a bad Penn Stater. Admittedly, I have not attended a single sporting event in my freshman year. Even this past weekend I found myself tossed amid the student body minority not queuing up outside the BJC at all hours. I’d like to defend myself, however. I attend classes, participate in various groups around campus, and, of course, I like to let loose when the weekend rolls around. Actually, I like to let shit hit the fan. So, State Patty’s? I’m interested.
This weekend thousands of Penn State students will drunkenly take to the streets to honor... the alcoholism of our Irish ancestors? I happen to be 100% Irish myself, so I called up my relatives from the Emerald Isle to see how they felt about the way they're being portrayed this weekend.
