One Penn State alumnus has started something quite revolutionary -- a company that manufactures and sells bikes made from 100 percent recyclable materials. Bryce Edmonds, a 1990 graduate in English Literature, started the Los Angeles based company "ReCycle" last summer, which uses eco-friendly aluminum to make the bicycles completely in America.

We grabbed a table at D.P. Dough, the only drunk eatery that came up positive on both the "warmth" and "greasiness" scales, and awaited everyone's shivering arrival. Welp, arrive they did. And they did not disappoint.

The days of FTCAP (First-Year Testing, Consulting, and Advising Program) are over. Penn State will be moving to a two-day, overnight program titled NSO (New Student Orientation) beginning this summer.

Everyone loves puppies. If there's one thing that everyone can get behind -- PS4RS, Karen Peetz, Evan Ponter, Michael Mauti, etc. -- it's that puppies are some of the most adorable things in the world. I've never met anyone that doesn't love them, and the soft, warm feeling of a puppy can warm even the coldest hearts.

That's why Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada has spearheaded the idea of a "puppy room" during its finals week.

With finals week only a few weeks away, SRTEs (Student Rating of Teacher Effectiveness) are set to open on December 3rd, which allow you to finally take out your frustrations (or jubilance) on all of your professors in the form of a survey. SRTEs have been around since 1985, and offer the standard questions that help departments evaluate the effectiveness of professors. But maybe they should ask some of these, too, for a more "honest" assessment.
