STATE COLLEGE -- Penn State officials had a bear of a day when a young black bruin made its way onto campus.
The 50-pound bear, believed to be between six months and 12 months old, was captured Friday.
Police responded to a reported bear sighting shortly before 3 p.m. in the Graduate Circle Complex. They spotted the animal in a brush-filled area between the Forestry Resources Building and the Multi-Sports Complex.

When I was living in Atherton Hall as a grad student, we had one scoot up a tree just outside of the dorm's TV room. It was a big hit among the international students. You shoulda seen them run to grab their cameras!

We are cute, lovable and oh so cuddly.
People TRUST us. Turning your agents is a snap. We offer love, lots of cuddling and a sympathetic ear they can pour their troubles into. And an open bar, of course.
It is the same way we are winning over your children, minus the open bar.
(Uh, do you really make your agents sleep on concrete slabs and feed them nothing but gruel?)
