Stephen Freind is enjoying the last days before tomorrow's Pennsylvania primary. Watching the campus through the police car windshield, University Police Services officers penetrate the darkness with probing headlights. They eye open containers curiously and notice traffic slowing to a legal speed as they loom through an intersection. Study for exam. Write research paper. Read six chapters. Sounds like a typical day in the life of a college student, right? With graduation bearing down, many seniors may be wondering what the future holds. Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity may face hazing allegations only months after receiving probationary status from the Interfraternity Council. Although attention has been focused on the atmosphere's lack of ozone, recent studies show that forests in the state and surrounding areas have symptoms of ozone poisoning. It wasn't Custer's last stand. The cold, rainy day didn't keep die-hard music fans or curious listeners from Saturday's Movin' On concert on the HUB lawn. Although the rain scared away the 20,000 or so people that usually come to the Beta Sigma Beta Sy Barash Regatta, Adam Thomas didn't mind splashing in the mud yesterday. Hillary Clinton, wife of presidential candidate Bill Clinton, came to the University Friday bringing her husband's message of a new vision for America. Earth Day -- a day to commemorate and honor the earth -- was celebrated within the confines of the HUB walls, to the tunes of environmental bands and laughing children. The University Student Advisory Board fell victim to the University administration again --this time, in softball. An Ohio woman was arrested yesterday morning after she caused a riot by stripping in a third-floor apartment window of Alexander Court, 309 E. Beaver Ave., State College Bureau of Police Services said. An excaped prison inmate from the State Correctional Institute at Rockview was arrested in Pittsburgh Thursday morning, Rockview State Police said.
The rain may have fouled up .38 Special's performance yesterday, but think about what it did to the softball team -- the airport-weary softball team that has slept maybe 20 hours in State College this week. Draft day was a big day for seniors from the football team -- four were selected in the first three rounds. The baseball team managed two splits this weekend. One split was with Indiana, the other was with Mother Nature. When one thinks of the Penn Relays, one thinks of a hectic weekend and a pressure-packed meet loaded with bonafide track superstars. Since the packed house can be a bit nerve-wracking for the youngsters, it is the type of meet where you look for the seasoned veterans to excel, The Penn Relays showcase some of the nation's and world's best track and field talent year in and year out. The gray and gloomy sky threatened rain all afternoon, but the women's lacrosse team never seriously threatened the Princeton goal until it was too late. The result was a 7-5 loss on Saturday for the No. 5 Lady Lions (9-3), who probably have to win their three remaining games to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. The men's gymnastics team traveled to the 1992 NCAA Gymnastics Championships at the University of Nebraska when it should have just gone back in time to 1991. The Lions are rising to the occasion, but is it too late? After two losses and a lackluster win over Bucknell, the No. 15 men's lacrosse team gave its finest defensive showing of the season as Kevin McGinley scored in triple overtime to secure Saturday's 10-9 win at C.W. Post. ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The women's gymnastics team shed years of heartbreak, frustration and adversity at the St. Paul Civic Center this weekend. MUNCIE, Ind. -- When your dreams focused on a national championship, playing in the consolation game can be a tough task. And after losing to top-seeded Pepperdine in the first round of the NCAA Men's Volleyball Championship this weekend, Penn State was in that very situation. MUNCIE, Ind. -- For Pepperdine Coach Marv Dunphy, three years of rebuilding culminated on Saturday night at the NCAA Men's Volleyball Championship. One good thing about Saturday's Blue-White Game, besides the fact that Mother Nature never sacked Beaver Stadium, was that Penn State didn't lose the football game -- to themselves or to the injury bug. Kerry Collins does not lack confidence. Mike Frank, a senior tri-captain of the men's track team, was rushed to Lehigh Valley Hospital in Cedar Crest Thursday after being struck in the head by a 35-pound hammer at the Nittany Lion track during a workout.
