The State College area has about 41,000 more people in it than it did last week at this time: The students are back. They moved in over the weekend, and classes started today already. (Is it just me, or is that some kind of record for Earliest First Day of Classes Ever?)

Last night the Alumni Association’s student alumni corps, the Lion Ambassadors, put on their annual “Be a Part from the Start” pep rally in Rec Hall. Judging  from the photos you can see here, it looks like it was its usual noisy success, complete with Blue Band, cheerleaders, the Lion mascot, and some words from Jay Paterno ’91.
