    Famed '80s philosopher Ferris Bueller once cautioned, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Luckily for the Penn College community, student photographers are on hand to attend many of the events that fill the campus calendar throughout the academic year. Here, then, while the students take a much-deserved Fall Break (and PCToday's editor clears away some desktop backlog), a look back at three recent happenings: the annual Golf Cart Beer Run to call attention to the perils of impaired driving, "Lanterns on the Lawn," a cancer-fighting fundraiser for Penn College Benefiting THON, and Dining Services' Oktoberfest in the Bush Campus Center.
