Student Journalists: Alive and Well and Playing Dodgeball

I attended Penn State in the late ’70s and early ’80s, a time when the student publications consisted of the Daily Collegian and La Vie. I think Froth might have been in hibernation during that era—or, if it was active, I sure wasn’t aware of it.
These days, the Collegian has stiff competition from the student-run news site Onward State. Froth is back—only now it’s Phroth. And there’s a fashion and lifestyle magazine called Valley.
Some of the students involved in those publications got together last Saturday for a dodgeball game, with StateCollege.com senior editor Adam Smeltz refereeing. Andy Colwell, a photographer who’s just finishing up his undergraduate career at Penn State, shot some video and still photos and put together a fun little three-minute video. You can watch it below.

I attended a Froth staff meeting in what I believe was the Fall of 1976. Though I’m not certain that a magazine-format of Froth was published in the late 70s, there was a Froth parody issue of “The Daily Correction.”
