The issue of abortion should be resolved so lawmakers can concentrate on more pressing matters such as education and drugs, said a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor in an interview last night. Some people are going to Pattee Library during finals week not to check out books but to steal them from other students. With professional ease, Nancy Belinda lifts a shoe-box style lid in front of her and deftly slips her hand around one 34B breast. Because two landfills that served Centre County have been closed, the county planning office is developing a disposal plan to redirect the waste. Lesbians, gay men and bisexuals living in State College face housing discrimination and many hide their sexual orientation fearing landlord harassment, according to preliminary results of a survey conducted by the Lesbian and Gay Student Alliance. Along with about 5,000 other students at the University, Chris Connors (senior-broadcast cable) will participate in the 1990 spring commencement exercises marking the end of years of hard work. Due to heavy work loads, pressures to serve on committees and mentor students, the University runs the risk of losing its minority professors as other colleges scramble to recruit the shrinking number of minorities with doctorates. To encourage minority participation in graduate programs, Penn State will take part in a program which would offer tuition waivers to 400 students. Non-competitive wages and heavy work loads may hinder the University's ability to recruit and retain quality faculty in the College of Liberal Arts, some University faculty members say. Lack of uniformity, poor communication, student apathy and insufficient numbers of professional advisers plague the University's advising system, students, faculty and administrators say. Many of William Richardson's concerns are the same as those of anyone moving to a new city -- he and his wife have hired painters and are having the wainscoting redone in their new house. Talking about a video yearbook is one thing, but actually starting a production company, filming the tape and marketing such a book takes time, money and effort. Due to a lack of faculty and a desire to provide a broader literature background to writing students, the English Department on Wednesday approved a proposal that will unify the English major under one list of requirements. Because they take time away from the development of unity, little brother programs may be eliminated by many national sorority offices despite support from several local chapters. Tradition dies hard, and that seems to be the case in the controversy over the Mifflin Streak. Donning full academic regalia, administrators and faculty will celebrate the success of the Campaign for Penn State with a Saturday morning procession from Old Main to Schwab Auditorium. After several tries, the University has for the first time received a grant from the prestigious W.M. Kech Foundation, which supports studies of geophysics and medicine. Although some other universities are considering withdrawing from ROTC programs because of a military policy barring gay men and lesbians from service, Penn State has no plans to follow suit. A World War II bomber, once used for aerial reconnaissance missions over the Atlantic Ocean, was brought out of retirement Tuesday afternoon to attack a new enemy in Stone Valley. "Get ready. Get set. Milk," bellowed the announcer. Sinners beware. After 15 weeks of mulling over marketing, visiting-Professor Willem Verbeke presented his students with the semester's most important lesson this morning -- the politics of putting. Victoria Yeazel and a friend were in a store, browsing at a button display. When Yeazel laughed at a particularly funny pin she had to read it out loud because her friend is illiterate. If Penn State had played football last summer, many of the 85,000 fans facing Mount Nittany would have been in for a surprise. The King had them.
Kristin Roland never thought she was capable of playing collegiate-level golf until she got a call from Coach Mary Kennedy. After winning the 1989 Atlantic 10 championship, garnering an NCAA tournament berth and returning 10 of its starters this coming fall, the field hockey team will ride its success on the road this summer. And what a long ride it is. The women's tennis team just completed its most successful season in Coach Jan Bortner's seven-year career with an overall record of 19-3. And for two players, the season continues. The men's lacrosse team wraps up its season tomorrow on Long Island against winless C.W. Post. However, the Lions are wary of both the 0-10 Pioneers and the location. As the softball team's season begins to wind down, it marks the end of playing patsies like St. Bonaventure. At first glance, roommates Diane Whipple and Tracy Mass appear to be mismatched. Whipple is quiet, reserved and the star offensive player for the Lady Lion lacrosse team. Mass is just the opposite; she is outspoken and the star defensive player. Even though the regular season is over for the women's lacrosse team, it is still practicing with the same intensity it showed throughout the year. Yet for the Lady Lions, who were national champions two of the last three years, it might all be for naught. In yesterday's doubleheader, second baseman Russ Mushinsky's three doubles broke a record that has stood for 23 years -- and set by his coach, Shorty Stoner. Indiana University of Pennsylvania baseball coach Owen Dougherty, who in the late 1940's played both football and baseball at Penn State, made a triumphant return to his alma mater yesterday as he coached the Indians to a doubleheader sweep of Penn State, 16-5 and 14-13. The team has a 30-game schedule and competes in the Middle Atlantic Conference, but as far as the University is concerned there is no rifle team at Penn State.

Adapting any well-known work onto the screen can be difficult enough, but Shakespeare presents a unique challenge. Following finals, University students who are members of the Penn State University Chamber Orchestra will get to see the whole spectrum of European history during their European tour. The Creation, Haydn's powerful choral work, will be performed by the State College Choral Society at 3 p.m. Sunday in Schwab Auditorium. This will be the society's third and last performance of the season. With $100, left to her by her mother, Harriet Rosenberg and a group of fellow women artists have begun what they hope will become an annual tradition. As pedestrians bustle down Shortlidge Road and pass Eisenhower Auditorium, colorful posters announcing Bright Lights and Intimate Excursions stand out from the pavement. These are not terms describing illumination or sordid affairs, but subscription categories for the Center for the Performing Arts productions. Vivid canvas oil paintings and distinctive ceramics created by undergraduate students are on display at the Chambers Gallery through May 3.
