This is a representation of what enhanced digital TV can offer. TV viewers will receive, simultaneously and in the background, additional information that will enhance the richness and depth of the program. For example, viewers can watch a play and also see an interview with the director, a diagram of the set or a text version of the script.

At The Nittany Lion Inn on April 20, 1952, Paul S. Walker, then chairman of the FCC, announced that television channels had been set aside for educational uses. Plans then were made at Penn State that led to national educational television broadcasting and later the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), including Penn State's WPSX-TV.

Crews from the Office of Physical Plant removed a large elm near the Hintz Alumni Center on the University Park campus after they discovered structural defects that posed a safety hazard. The replacement will likely be a new, genetically modified, disease-resistant elm. OPP reports that the University is no longer losing more trees than it plants due to special funding from the Office of the President.
