Samuel Settle might be the most polarizing figure at Penn State.

As president of the campus branch of Young Americans for Freedom, he's been front and center at the group's incredibly visible -- and equally divisive -- rallies, most in front of the HUB. I, for one, have had run-ins with Settle on more than one occasion; it's the very nature of those events that they capture the attention of virtually every passerby, and, often, of the media.

Yet, for his latest venture, Settle has expanded his reach beyond this university, instead focusing his energies on a campaign for a seat on the board of the State College Area School District.
