Charges of verbal and physical harassment have been filed against several Air Force Aerospace Studies ROTC Drill Team members for an alleged hazing incident that occurred earlier this month. A public hearing is scheduled for Wednesday night to determine if State College residents support a plan to join nearby townships in forming one government. The State College Borough has rediscovered an old ordinance. "I will pay you to buy my dorm contract!" reads a desperate classified ad. Blood supply for the Johnstown Region of the American Red Cross -- which includes Centre County -- is just below minimum levels, up from a critical situation earlier this month. A student at the Worthington Scranton Campus was allegedly stabbed by his roommate early Saturday morning at their apartment in Throop, a borough near the campus, Throop Borough Police said. Talking up the need for a state execution, state Attorney General Ernie Preate brought his law-and-order platform to central Pennsylvania. The deadline for international students to pay their insurance has been changed to Friday, due to protests from students who said the information they received did not clearly state they also had to pay for dependents.
HERSHEY -- How could it happen? Worse, how could it happen twice in one season? At a christening, there are two types of babies -- the ones that are quiet little angels and the ones that are never-ending criers. Upset Weekend '92. The women's swimming and diving team came on as strong as the six inches of snow that fell in the nation's capital Saturday. It was a real sleeper. Worth bringing two pillows and a blanket.

The men's gymnastics team, slowed by injuries and trying to rebound from a third-place finish at West Point earlier this season, returned to form by dominating the Navy Invitational in Annapolis, Md., and winning its first match of the year on Saturday. It may be a long time before a squad better than Utah's women's gymnastics team competes in Rec Hall. Kathy Phillips is far from a textbook post player.
