Students heading for the gas pumps before leaving town this weekend will find that prices have dropped since last year's spring break. A state lawmaker joined several students who protested yesterday outside the closed dialysis unit at 300 S. Pugh St. by blocking the street with recycling barrels and holding signs. One Commonwealth Campus student and another man charged with raping two University women were both ordered to stand trial during preliminary hearings in Centre County Court this week. Mark Allshouse thinks he's missed out on half of American history in the classes he's taken here so far. The State College Borough Planning Commission issued recommendations Wednesday including shuttle bus service and improved lighting accommodations for the Academic/Athletic Convocation and Events Center. Shoppers in State College who park downtown and don't feed the meter may get a pleasant surprise instead of a parking ticket. U.S. Senate candidate Philip Valenti is on a political crusade to "expose and bring down the secret government." Reports that a former University professor misused National Science Foundation grant money were recently chalked up to "accounting mistakes" made while working under pressure.
After finishing third in the American Collegiate Hockey Association National Championship last weekend, it would seem that anything remaining on the ice hockey team's schedule would be anticlimactic. The men's golf team, anchored by four returning starters, will begin its quest for a national championship over spring break by playing in two tournaments. The women's golf team heads into the new season full of expectations. Spring break: a time to sit back, relax and take a well-deserved break from the stringent demands and hectic pace of the first eight weeks of classes. Whether spent on a beach, a ski slope or a couch, Spring Break is arguably the most important time of year for burned out college students. It's almost spring, and the birds are flying north. The baseball team, however, is flying south. Way south. An air of relaxed confidence emanates from women's lacrosse Coach Julie Williams as she prepares for the opening of her team's season. Coaches Peter Brown and Bob Krimmel, take a well-deserved break. It's time for diving Coach Craig Brown and his charges to strut their stuff. Fourteen roadtrips, 22 victories and thousands of miles later, the women's basketball team is finally down to the last regular-season game as an independent. An old friend and an old nemesis will welcome the women's gymnastics team when it travels to the West Coast this weekend. The day that Coach Rich Lorenzo hoped would never come has finally arrived: Penn State is wrestling in its last Eastern Wrestling League Tournament. Strange isn't it how one athletes' career can reach unprecedented heights, then suddenly everything seems to vanish like black magic. Rest will be the last thing on the softball team's mind over Spring Break.
Collegian Editorial: Proposal to end race-related aid is misguided and unjust My Opinion: Dave Hollingsworth
The second coming of Carson? Not exactly. We're getting Tesla and Firehouse this semester. Maybe if I say it enough times I can accept it. It seems as though running a bar in a college town requires the patience of a babysitter and lots of gumption, especially with hordes of students converging nightly for concentrated bouts of bacchanalia. Some may fantasize about reinventing Beach Blanket Bingo during spring break. But for those who desire a more creative adventure, making your own movie can prove just as hormonal. I have, from time to time, bought a compact disc for the sole reason that it had a cool cover. And actually, this hit-or-miss method has worked out well for the most part. David Cronenberg never ceases to amaze. It's a slow night in State College. You can't find anything to do. You're lonely. You're desperate. You're about to start your homework. But wait --you can rent a movie. Music from the land of lunchboxes and multiplication tables will fill State College Area Junior High as selected fifth-graders present the third annual Elementary Sing tonight. It all started with a salad. My Opinion: Joe Warminsky
