The time has finally come. One of the most anticipated games of the year, FIFA 13, is being released tomorrow to the general public.

The FIFA series is one of the most popular sports games available for the Xbox, Wii, and PS3. FIFA has been very popular amongst many people on campus, so popular that there is an annual tournament set up by students to compete and see who becomes the champion champion of the Hazleton campus.

"FIFA  I 2 is one of my favorite games to play. It is a great game to play alone or with friends. The game is so unique and I can 't wait to see what stays the same and what changes in the next one," Lucas Gouvalis, a student at Penn State Hazleton, said.

FIFA 13 was available for pre-order Sept. 6 and gives added bonuses. Some of these bonuses were exclusive teams, players, and special items usable online or in career mode.

The hype over FIFA 13 is astonishing. So far the pre-orders have gone over 875,000 after only being available for two weeks.

The demo that was available has also has close to i million down­ loads, which is 29 percent more than FIFA 12.

Those who did not choose to pre-order the game will still be able to buy it.

Big name brands such as Wal-Mart, Target and Game Stop will be holding midnight releases for the game. Remember to get in line a bit early because they are expected to be very long.

FIFA 12 was a great game in its own right but EA Sports announced that this will be the most realistic FIFA yet.

The graphics, the gameplay and the characters in it will be more life­ like in the way they move and react to other players.

With all the aspects of the game and the killer soundtrack this game is sure to be a hit.

The lines at the stores to pick up a copy of this game will be well worth the wait and you can expect to see lots of kids around campus playing it all day long. To clarify, this means after class ends, of course.

What's your favorite part about PSU?
It's a small campus and I like having the opportunity to get to know my profess­ sors on a more personal level. Being on a small campus also helps me by getting one-on­ one help with my professors. Because it's a small campus it's a good transition from high school.

Favorite song:
Gyptian- Beautiful Lady

How's it like living on campus?
It's convenient because your classes are so close but it tends to get very boring during the weekends.

Penn State Hazleton has the honor of two fresh faces leading the Student Government Association. Just last year, the school had been directed by former president Zena Lewoc and vice president Olivia Szulc. Now, Penn State Hazleton ushers in new blood and new life into the veins of student government on campus with the welcoming .of a new president, sophomore Rohan Bharadwaj and junior Megan McGee.

Rohan is majoring in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering. While he is out of his office as president, he participates in the clubs THON, Club Anime, Project Nittany, StarCraft 2, and even plays for the men's tennis team. For fun, he likes to play tennis, video games, and read. His other half, Megan, is ma­ joring in Letters, Arts, and Sciences with focuses in Sociology, Psychology, and Education Theory. While she is off duty, she assists with the clubs THON, H.E.L.P. (a club designated for helping club presidents), and works at the High Acres Café as a food service employee. Megan enjoys cheerleading, helping out on campus, and going out to the movies, the mall, and fine dining.

Rohan and Megan are similar in many ways, but complement one another in their differences. That is what makes them such a great duo. Both love the campus, both are highly involved on what happens on campus, and both want to make Penn State Hazleton a better campus for students.

"The experience that I got from being in the SGA last year made me want to put more of myself into it.  I love what the SGA does and that is representing the students and that's what I want to do as well," said Rohan in discussing his new position

Megan played up more of this idea with how "involved" and "engaged" she had been with SGA last year. She really wanted an opportunity to help out more, specifically with the clubs.

Not only that, but both hope to accomplish comparable objectives this school year- student participation with SGA. Rohan described his goals as, "creating a better connected campus."

"The SGA is here for the students. Whatever they think needs to be accomplished that is what we are going to stand for. We are an organization here to help improve the college experience for all students," he said.

Megan continued to focus on student clubs.

''I'm hoping to keep all the clubs involved and get more clubs started. Also, keep club attendance up for H.E.L.P. meetings. But, in general, I hope to get more participation from students in SGA as we currently need more members now."

Along with that, she included her first order of business being the creation of a "programming board" by her, in which will help clubs plan activities on campus.

Rohan and Megan expressed to the students of Penn State Hazleton a similar message. Rohan wants everyone to know, "students can come to me or anyone in the SGA and voice their opinions. Our office is located in the club space, which is downstairs in Butler. Feel free to visit if you have any questions or requests." Megan asserted the idea of transparency for SGA stating "I 'm easy-going and easy to talk to. If anyone has problems, they can come to me."

Rohan and Megan begin the school year with optimism campaigning towards a certain goal-more collaboration between SGA and the students of Penn State Hazleton.

It would seem if a problem or concern should ever arise on cam- pus, Rohan and Megan, along with the rest of the SGA members under their guidance, are able and willing to make the necessary actions to correct and appease their constituents.
