The changes in the promotion and tenure requirements proposed by the Task Force on Undergraduate Education may not change a thing. Although it may be feasible to shut down a number of the Commonwealth Campuses in the future because of the state's economic crunch, there are no plans to do so. In past presidential elections, the major issues have ranged from abortion and health care to education and the economy, but now the Penn State National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws and Student 1st Step are working to make the legalization of marijuana a focal point. Students who get into legal trouble because of marijuana use or possession could find themselves fighting to change the rules. A group of Undergraduate Student Government senators are drafting a proposal urging the USG Senate to support last spring's "reeferendum" that called for a relaxation of the University's marijuana policy. A local church has called for its parishioners to stop donating to the Centre County United Way because church leaders see the agency as having a political agenda that goes against the church's pro-life stand. Instead of stumbling home from fraternity parties, students will be able to get a ride. Education may not be the hottest topic of the 1992 campaign, but President Bush failed to find any support from the National Education Association because it claims he hasn't lived up to his self-proclaimed title -- the "education president." As President Bush tries to break the chains of his battered re-election campaign, the scowling face of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein continues to haunt him. One charge of attempted murder was dropped yesterday against an inmate at the State Correctional Institution at Rockview. Organizers of the 18th Beta Sigma Beta Sy Barash Regatta promise to bring another "big-name band" to Bald Eagle State Park.
After this past weekend's convincing display of dominance in the Washington's Birthday Invitational, winning seven individual events and the event itself, the men's track team is hitting its peak just in time. The Princeton Invitational was just what the doctor had ordered for the Lady Lions' Tammy Okins-Nguyen and Kerri Kohr. Eleanor Stone and Michele Brennan didn't want their field hockey careers to end on the sour note of two Final Four losses. The women's swimming and diving team would be severely lacking if not for its depth. And that depth would be severely lacking if not for Suzi Sloan. Midway through his first season as an assistant coach for the men's volleyball team, Jose Besosa praises his program's work ethic and its overall personality. The celebration after the women's basketball team's 71-59 victory at Holy Cross became slightly subdued Tuesday night when guard Katina Mack emerged from the locker room. A four-letter acronym has become the $64,000 question for the men's basketball team. If revenge is sweet, the Icers should head straight to the dentist. Being the lowest seed in any tournament can work to a team's advantage. Since a squad in such a postion, it tends to be overlooked. It might be a cliche, but such a team has nothing to lose.
