If students haven't bought their books for this semester yet, then two campus groups say they have a price to pick with them. Barbara Franklin belongs to a group of two. Franklin, U.S. Secretary of Commerce, is one of two women in President Bush's Cabinet. Emma Cable may not be as recognized as many University athletes, but the athletes couldn't go on without her. Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority does not officially exist at Penn State, but Jen Devery knows the sisterhood will always remain intact. While students were out of State College during the break, some people argued that they should be left out of the borough's proposed fair housing ordinance. Teachers are used to asking difficult questions. On Jan. 5, State College teachers had to answer one. Judy Kepler graduated from high school in 1931. More than 48 years later, she sat in a classroom for the first time with students half her age. After two years as president of the University Board of Trustees, Marian U. Coppersmith Fredman has called it quits. Thanks to the overwhelming popularity of not spending money, the Association of Residence Hall Students will provide free movies this semester.
The men's gymnastics team went through this weekend's meet at the West Point Open on a roller coaster ride that ended with a fourth-place finish out of 14 teams. The Icers must have been good all year because Santa brought them four more wins over the holiday break. The men's swimming and diving team hasn't lost a stride. After a six-week layoff from competition and a gruelling "vacation" in sunny Florida, the women's swimming team picked up right where it left off in the fall with a gutsy 162-136 victory on Saturday over Big Ten foe Ohio State. FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- The Stanford defense, which smothered Penn State, was led by Tom Williams' nine tackles. After playing a good game, the inside linebacker might have talked an even better game. FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- When you think of Bill Walsh's great 49er teams of the 1980s, you think of offense and names like Joe Montana, Jerry Rice and Roger Craig. BLOOMINGTON, IND. -- Well, at least nobody got hurt. Aside from a few bruised egos, Penn State emerged from its first Big Ten road contest with its health -- but not much else. Two recent Big Ten dual meets turned out to be much easier than anticipated for the No. 2 wrestling team. To say that Tina Henry's season started as a disappointment would be like saying that the Buffalo Bills made a comeback against the Houston Oilers last week. When the women's basketball team began its finals week layoff, the Lady Lions were 4-0 and poised to face two Top 20 teams as well as beginning their first Big Ten schedule. Richie Anderson is off to the NFL. J.T. Morris is transferring . . . probably to a southern school. FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. --Somewhere, the season took a wrong turn . . . long before Penn State's disappointing 24-3 loss to Stanford in the Blockbuster Bowl.
