Next Tuesday, the CORE Movie Tour will tie down and set up camp at the HUB-Robeson Center for a screening of Chuck Fryberger's climbing documentary CORE. Join the Penn State Outing Club in getting to the heart of climbing, following some of the world's best climbers on their most exotic and difficult endeavors.
The movie has received high reviews for its excellent low-budget cinematography. Shot in 35mm Ultra High Definition, CORE will allow you to see the reality of climbs in places like South Africa and Helsinki, Finland.

Faced with rising costs and shrinking appropriations, Penn State may be undergoing some changes in the near future. Penn State's 2009-10 through 2013-14 Strategic Plan has begun to be implemented, in particular section 2.4, which outlines the process of consolidating or eliminating redundant and ineffective programs throughout the university.
Provost Rod Erickson met with faculty yesterday to discuss the plan and the process of review that is being put in place. Read on for the five steps to the process:
The Pattee Mall between Old Main and Willard Building has been busy with construction over the past few weeks. It's not just some routine maintenance by OPP, as the workers have been busily completing the seating area that makes up an important part of the 2009 Senior Class Gift.
Today, the restored Old Main Bell was put in place at the new site. The next step in the process is for OPP to finish the concrete walkways that surround the seating area. The gift will be dedicated on Friday, April 23rd at 10:15 AM.
In attendance at the ceremony will be President Spanier, Martha Jordan (Volunteer Chair for the Office of Annual Giving), and Avery Peechatka (2009 Senior Class Gift Communications Overall). As part of the event, they will ring the bell and say a few words. At the same ceremony, the completion of the 2005 and 2008 Senior Class Gifts will also be recognized.

On Tuesday, the Daily Collegian Board of Opinion published an editorial that read "UPUA numbers disappointing". In it, the Board blamed general apathy for the voter turnout numbers in last week's University Park Undergraduate Association election.
It went on to say, "...perhaps more discouraging is the complacency that is apparent in some UPUA members. Commissioner for Administration and Enforcement Samantha Miller called the turnout 'phenomenal' and indicative of the 'progress UPUA has made' ...If this year is truly indicative of UPUA's progress, then there is a lot of room for improvement."
Onward State reached out to Samantha Miller and Matthew Smith, UPUA 4th Assembly Chief of Staff, to give them the opportunity to respond to the Collegian's "complacency" comment, as well as discuss the future of UPUA. Ms. Miller's column ran on Friday.
