I'll show you how friendly Alabama fans are. I saw it in Tuscaloosa last year. They don't deserve the same kind of dirtbag treatment we'd give to Ohio State or Notre Dame. When you're in the stadium on Saturday, make as much noise as you want, and yell whatever you want to 110,000 people who can't make out your brilliant taunt, but don't confront people in crimson on the street and tell them they suck.
For those of you who are new to Penn State or live under a rock, the IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (aka THON) is probably the biggest thing at Penn State besides football. THON is the largest student-run philanthropy in the world and has raised over $78 million since 1973 for the Four Diamonds Fund. THON 2012 will be happening February 17th-19th, but the time to get involved is now.
Since THON is such a big deal and almost every club, sport, or organization participates, there are literally hundreds of opportunities. The most common way is to join a THON committee. There are 11 committees that need about 3,500 students to help make THON 2012 the best it possibly can be. We're here to help you pick the right one and give some tips on the process.
For the second straight week, the University Park Undergraduate Association's agenda was greater characterized by what was not present on it than what was. At the organization's first meeting of the semester, a debate over whether UPUA could--and should--subsidize test prep options offered by the Princeton Review captivated even the audience, though it was ultimately tabled for another day. And for another week, we'll have to wonder just when that day will come.
With Pat Chambers in the fold as the new head basketball coach for the Nittany Lions, his presence on campus has generated some buzz around Happy Valley. After Ed Dechellis fled State College to coach at Navy, the Penn State athletic department seized an opportunity to invigorate a basketball program that has always played second fiddle to the football program. Chambers has wasted no time, travelling the country recruiting players, and having a presence on campus.
For those of you who don't know them, Happy Valley Communicati0ns is the Onward State of Public Relations. Born in 2009, HVC is Penn State's only student-run public relations firm that exists to offer professional PR services to Penn State and national campaigns. At the heart of HVC is the relationships between students, faculty and the general public.
Penn State's legendary Coach Joe Paterno, who needs no introduction on these pages, was nominated for the Presidential Medal of Freedom for the second time in as many years by a bipartisan collection of legislators, including Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA), Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-PA5), and more than a dozen others. Check out the details after the jump.
