Since The Daily Collegian is free to all Penn State students, you may have several copies in your dorm or apartment. While newspapers are recyclable, you can put them to an even more inventive use: pinwheel coasters! If you couldn't get your hands on any of the Joe Paterno beer for those coasters, these are a great alternative!

Simply cut each newspaper page into thin strips, about 2 cm across, fold them over on themselves length-wise, and glue them on the inside so they're then 1 cm across. Then, start with one strip and carefully roll it into a pinwheel. Do this and glue everything together as you continue along. When you have your finished glued-together pinwheel, add a generous layer of Modge Podge with a brush over the entire outside, allowing it to dry overnight. This will keep its shape and make it spill-resistent.
