Valley Magazine Gets New Web Page

Valley, Penn State’s life and style mag, recently launched its new home on the interwebs.


The design is simple and everything is easily found, but I’d expect something chicer from a life & style magazine. Old issues of Valley are accessible on the site, and blog posts with fashion tips and lifestyle observations are published on a fairly regular schedule. In our opinion, it's worth a subscription in your RSS reader!

Greeks Tired of Being Scapegoats

Aaron Clark is frustrated that the Greek Community has been blamed, almost exclusively, for the drinking problem at Penn State.


This frustration recently manifested itself in a manner that has become all too familiar... he made a Facebook group.


The group, titled "Greeks for Equal Accountability", was created "to bring attention to the fact that the IFC, its chapters, and all Greek organizations are making the most concerted effort to minimize risk, excessive drinking, and the negative stigma we began to carry when we were announced #1 Party School."

Bus Fares Could Go Up, Obvious Stated

The Collegian is reporting that CATA's fare may go from $1.25 to $1.50 in the near future. While this won't affect students who only ride the loop, those who take a trip to Walmart and Wegmans on occasion will have to pay a bit extra.


As one insightful student said:

I don't think anyone riding the bus will be supportive of it.



I ride the bus maybe once a month, so I know that even if the fare goes up, I'm probably not going to care.


A decision won't be made on the issue until March, and there will be a chance for community members to speak out on the issue. While the rate increase won't have much effect on students, I think those who are actual residents of State College and rely on the bus to get to work may have stronger opinions.
