NEW YORK -- Centre County Democrats -- including delegates to the party's convention -- support the party's decision not to let Gov. Robert P. Casey speak at the Democratic National Convention. Following the first year of a massive membership drive, the University Alumni Association's register has jumped by more than 7,600 to more than 113,000 members nationwide. While relations between Penn State and downtown business leaders may be improving, some University faculty members said the institution itself is becoming too commercialized. Acting Navy Secretary Sean O'Keefe will speak at the undergraduate summer commencement instead of former Navy Secretary H. Lawrence Garrett III -- whose office officially cancelled his anticipated appearance. Still-undeclared presidential hopeful H. Ross Perot said he will suspend campaign travel indefinitely, according to CBS reports late last night during live coverage of the 41st Democratic National Convention. The national organization of Kappa Delta Rho fraternity recently revoked the local chapter's charter for violating the group's risk management policy while under suspension, a fraternity member said.
Brian Milne won't be a two-sport star at Penn State. That's because the Waterford, Pa. native, who competed for the Lion football and track teams, has decided to call it quits on the gridiron, so he can concentrate on a very promising track career. There's a saying, "old rivalries die hard." And for Pitt and Penn State that couldn't be more true. In many ways Rahsaan Carlton is similar to the average freshman at Happy Valley this summer. Intramural Basketball gets no respect at Penn State, or as singer Aretha Franklin would say no R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
