Just wanted to publish another great media suite from the Daily Collegian. This trio of videos was produced by Beth Ann Downey, a sister of my sister in Delta Gamma (shout out!). They profile Robbie Sheil, who has gone from cancer to dancer. Check them out after the jump.
Oh, you didn't know about this? Neither did I. What's the difference? We both think that tuition needs to be kept under control. We don't want to have to drop out of school because we can no longer afford it. This is important, right?
Well, covering student government is my job. I've been hearing the words "rising tuition" like a broken record. So when the fact that the aptly-named March Against Rising Tuition snuck up on me at tonight's Onward State staff meeting, I couldn't help but think, "How could they have done such an awful job promoting this purportedly crucial event that I, who've been trained to cover this topic for months, didn't know about it?"
I did know that the event existed. I got a Facebook invitation way back, but put it in the back of my mind, and with no reminder from anyone, it crept up on me until I realized it was only a day away.
Last weekend, the Penn State men’s volleyball team won both of their matches and coach Mark Pavlik earned his 400th and 401st victories. After beating Mount Olive on Friday, the Nittany Lions beat Lees McRae on Saturday.
The Nittany Lions now enter the toughest portion of their schedule that features three road matches against conference foes and three matches in California. Next week, Penn State faces off against Saint Francis (Pa.) on Wednesday before playing George Mason on Saturday.
Registration for elections for UPUA's 6th Assembly are now open. Interested students can register for President/Vice President and At Large, Academic , and Off or On Campus Representative positions. Registration materials are available in the UPUA office, 332 HUB, and must be completed by Friday March 4th.
The University of California, Los Angeles held its 9th annual dance marathon over the weekend. Student groups danced for a whopping 26 hours straight to raise money for pediatric AIDS victims. Something seems a little fishy. It's almost like I've heard of this idea before. Is this just a THON copy cat? Should we Twitter-bitch about it being a "total rip-off" of Penn State's impressive philanthropy? Or should we jump down from our high horse and see this as an indicator of THON's overwhelming success? Let this be a lesson in bragging etiquette.
I sat at home Friday afternoon before heading to the Bryce Jordan Center thinking about what I would experience for the next two days. I knew it would be something I never forgot, something that I would take with me for the rest of my life, no matter how old I got. When I returned to my couch on Sunday evening, I realized that I didn't dream big enough.
