Undergraduate Student Government presidential candidates have said the University must meet the needs of underrepresented groups, but they disagree on USG's role in addressing those needs. The shout "Discrimination sucks!" accompanied the cool breeze pushing through the second-floor window screen beside Vice Provost for Underrepresented Groups James Stewart yesterday. As he heard the cry, Stewart's gaze rested on the scene outside Old Main. A former University student died Sunday night in a car accident one day after he helped rescue a Boy Scout who had fallen 40 feet and was stuck in a cave. Officials in the University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics said the Knight Commission's report on abuses in intercollegiate athletics will add to the drive for reform. Lt. Gov. Mark Singel said he supported adding a sexual orientation clause to the University's non-discrimination policy when he met with student leaders yesterday. Posters urging students to "vote for anybody besides Osborn & LaFlam for USG Pres & V.P." appeared around Willard Building and the HUB yesterday. Paul R. Shellenberger is a University professor who teaches, advises and really cares. Some students are doubling as jury members to decide other students' guilt or innocence.

The Centre Area Transportation Authority approved a proposed preliminary budget for 1991-92 that includes service cuts and a fare increase.
The men's golf team, slowed by inconsistency in its putting game in the third round, finished in an 11th-place tie this past weekend at the Wofford Invitational in Spartansburg, S.C. Can the student teach the teacher? The softball team has waited a long time for a chance at redemption. And what a better place for it to come than at home. After starting on a high note with a win over Temple, the women's tennis team dropped two weekend matches to ranked teams. When the women's lacrosse team takes on Temple at 3 p.m. today at Lady Lion Field, it will take a valuable lesson into the contest -- a lesson on the importance of patience in the game plan. In 1988, softball coach Sue Rankin went shopping for a second baseman to fill the hole left by Dena Tauriello's shift to third in the Lady Lions' infield.

They came from Bellefonte, Huntingdon and Lewisburg to see Spalding Gray perform his 13th monologue, "Monster in a Box," Friday night. Judging from the smiles on their faces, no one went home disappointed. Gender liberation and the relationship between the sexes provide the main perspective of this year's Latin American Film Festival. The "King of Salsa" will give State College a spicy taste of Latin music tomorrow night. In Zoller Gallery this week, a potent scent can be recognized. The familiar spice lures visitors toward an arrangement of chili peppers.
