Portland State was awarded “honor roll with distinction,” from the 2007 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, a distinction that no other Oregon school received this year.

There’s a dead frog staring up at you from the classroom table. You make an incision in its stomach, peering at the preserved organs inside. The dissection would be normal, except the incision turns into a mouth and you’re sucked into a nightmarish dream world of mutated teens, dead bodies and dusty piles of bones and refuse.
