The official Facebook event for State Patty's Day 2013 has been set for February 23 by The School Philly. According to the event, drinking will commence at approximately 8 a.m. and go all the way until 5 a.m. the next day. Remember kids, it's not a race; it's a marathon.

As students prepare to embark on the Spring semester's syllabus week, it is important to understand some of the recent changes to Pennsylvania law with regard to drinking violations.
Along with the new year comes new, harsher, penalties for alcohol violations in Pennsylvania. Specifically, there have been increases to the fines levied against those caught drinking underage. Previously, the maximum penalty was a $300 fine, however the new law stipulates a $500 fine for a first time offender and a $1,000 fine for a second offense.

Amid candlelight, the Penn State community gathered once again on the Old Main patio. On Sunday night, roughly 1,000 Penn State students and State College residents convened to honor the victims of the tragedy in Newtown Connecticut.

Earlier this afternoon, several students announced plans for tomorrow night’s vigil that will honor the victims of the horrible tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. The event is scheduled to begin tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m.
