In the past week, a cold has descended upon Happy Valley. For those of you who showed up to class covered in sweat for the first few weeks of classes, this cold comes as a relief. You can finally make friends! For the rest of us, though, the weather poses a dilemma. How can we dress glam and stay warm at the same time? We took to campus to find out.
When UMass comes to Penn State this Saturday it's not just going to be a battle between our football teams, it's going to be a battle between fans. It's time to prove that the Penn State fan base has the swaggiest fans around. But how do you do that when we're all poor college students? The answer, my friends, is DIY.

Though Old Coaly passed away in 1893, Penn State clearly had problems letting him go, and his bones are on display in the HUB. Let's be honest, some of us (me) thought the bones were dinosaur bones. Really though, those bones are there to remind students of Coaly's characteristics, characteristics that all Penn Staters should possess--strength, surefootedness, endurance, long service, and loyalty.
On August 4, the THON community lost Four Diamonds child Dominique Bigler as she ended her long battle with Synovial Sarcoma.
