In a project that rivals in confidentiality only with that of the Manhattan Project, the Paternoville Coordination Committee has decided to undertake a mission of putting together the history of Paternoville. The intent of this project seems to go beyond the advent of the modern-day Paternoville which was founded in 2005. They would like to hear stories from its unnamed predecessor. The PCC website had this to say:
The PCC asks for your assistance in compiling information on how Paternoville has grown from the first few camp outs way back in the day (the unofficial beginnings of camping are contested, and could be as early as the 1970s) to the current form. An initial list of over 100 sources has been compiled and the first round phone calls and e-mails should be going out within the next 24 hours.
I contacted Chris Grassi, webmaster of the PCC, and he said that he was keeping this project "pretty close to the chest." He sent out the first contacts on Sunday and, as of Thursday, he had received about 20 responses. He also said that he would continue to do this until he felt he had the quantity and quality of information needed for presentation.
More on that after the jump.

I'm not going to lie, I have a lot of clothes. So much, in fact, that the studio apartment I live in that is made for two people has two closets and two dressers full of my clothes. But even with my plentiful wardrobe, I never feel like I have enough of certain items. I'm all about re-wearing jeans because they seem to be more comfortable that second time around, but there are certain things you can't pull out of the laundry basket and throw back on without feeling at least a little bit grimey.
So in the past few months I've been thinking and there are a few things I really wish I had an extensive collection of, and I like to think of these things as essentials. Read on for some items that you shouldn't feel bad for overloading on.
On Wednesday, Radio Free Penn State interviewed Professor José Texidor. If you haven’t heard, Texidor has quite a controversy surrounding him, which was the subject of his interview.
The whole thing started in July 2007 when Texidor received a letter from John McCarthy, head of the department of sociology and crime, law and justice questioning the difficulty of two of Texidor’s classes (CJ 100 and CJ 451).
Read on for more about the controversy.
Well ladies, it's that time again to show off your sexiness. M.O.O.D. Magazine is looking for a dead sexy model like you for the front cover of its next issue.
So give it a whirl! Just e-mail Senior Fashion Market Editor Mairys Joaquin - [email protected] - with your photo (I heard the provocative ones make the top of the pile) and your resume (as goes with the intelligent ones) no later than 5 p.m. on March 19.
Mairys Joaquin was also the President of the Panhellenic Council (PHC) at Penn State, so that's pretty neat.
Last night Flogging Molly, with help from opener Scythian, showed Penn State the true meaning of St. Patrick's Day: being Irish, drunk, and pissed-off.
Things got off to a late start, after an overtime set-up, but Scythian quickly got the crowd dancing. Their set, while short, was solid, mixing celtic rock, creole, and an inventive medley of rap covers. The highlight may have been hearing Biz Markie's "Just a Friend" played on accordion. This was not the band's first show at Penn State, and I hope it's not their last. It'd be great to hear them play a longer set.
The show really got underway once Flogging Molly took the stage. Read on for more details and lots of pictures!
Bang! You're dead! We knew it as cops and robbers as kids, but since we're all adults now, let's upgrade to something a bit more interesting. The Penn State Urban Gaming Club will be starting up its Humans vs. Zombies game, which it does every semester, on March 22 (If you don't remember, these were the ones running around early in the fall with Nerf guns and other assorted weapons).
Spring is supposedly coming, although I have yet to see any evidence of that. But Humans vs. Zombies promises to be a fun way to blow off steam once the risk of frostbite lessens somewhat.
