  All U-Day Creates Commonwealth Togetherness                                     By Mike Kovach     11/2000

       Nov. 4 was Penn State University's annual All U-Day event. Students from all 20 Penn State campuses were given a chance to purchase a student section ticket to the Nittany Lions' football game against the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Student Affairs Coordinator David Day says, "The main purpose [of the trip] is to enable all students to see what University Park is like during, before, and after the highly popularized footballs games." The trip also serves as a homecoming of sorts for branch campus students, acting as a get-together between all campuses.
Kraig Josephic (sophomore-civil engineering) says, "It's a great opportunity for students to go up as a group and have a good time at the game and with each other." For now, the celebration of All U-Day consists of the free bus trip to and from University Park and the $17 student ticket to the Nittany Lion football game. Future plans may include a weekend-long trip to State College and/or other events for students to attend.
