Greek officials are trying to end a bit of Penn State tradition by cutting short the infamous Mifflin Streak. When students go to look for their final exam scores, they instinctively look for a number, not a name. Some graduate students who live in the Graduate Circle and Eastview Terrace apartments are protesting a University proposal to install a common phone service in their homes. A University student died yesterday morning after he jumped from a fuel tank, Ferguson Township Police said. The University's Alumni Association announced yesterday a pledge of $1.9 million to University improvement programs, including $500,000 to the University Libraries, $500,000 for HUB/Robeson expansion and $900,000 to the Academic/Athletic Convocation and Events Center. For graduating seniors who live in dorms, "dead week" -- the week between finals and graduation when the dorms are closed -- will be dead no more. Ann and Bob Sepherd's Little Professor Book Center is scheduled to open Thursday. The store will have special features like free gift wrapping and gift certificates.
The women's tennis team entered last weekend's Big Ten Conference Tournament hoping to better the team's 10th place regular season finish. Kay Young goes into the every game knowing she's going to give up some goals, but yesterday's game against New Hampshire didn't exactly start the way she had in mind. The wait for the five Penn State players drafted yesterday must have seemed like an eternity. The men's tennis team completed its regular season last weekend losing to Ohio State and Indiana. It didn't take long, but these super-explosive, highly-touted, heavily-recruited freshman running backs already have nicknames. Saturday's Blue-White game was definitely no defensive battle. But the 31-29 Blue victory should not have been expected to have been. ST. PAUL, Minn. -- A month ago, Shelly Schaerrer's ankle was a painful sight to look at. It's not easy to describe the feelings of the baseball team after yesterday's games with Indiana. Maybe try "reservedly happy." The men's golf team braved poor weather conditions this weekend at the Kepler Invitational in Columbus, Ohio, finishing fifth out of 18 teams.

Dance pop is such a fussy genre. My first experience with Pavement occurred at Erin's house. It was a house where Jack Kerouac could have died -- one of rolled cigarettes, hair tonic and veggie burgers. In the world of classical music, Robert Bonfiglio is unusual. It's the end of another semester and it's time to say goodbye. Goodbye to classes, exams, friends, teachers . . . TV shows. College rock would not exist without the garage or basement as a breeding ground for bands to give birth to their own noisy creations. Commie Lesbos from Outer Space plays at 8 tomorrow night in Schwab Auditorium.
