The Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon is the largest philanthropy in the country. But for some members of the Council of Commonwealth Student Governments, it isn't big enough. Commonwealth Campus leaders wanted answers to budget questions, but left Saturday's Council of Commonwealth Student Governments meeting with many unanswered. Dot Smith cannot understand how anyone can drink and drive --her daughter was killed by a drunken driver eight years ago. ATMs already decorate almost every block in downtown State College, but bank officials are always considering adding more. Attorney Jim Bryant reclines behind his desk with his cruddy cowboy boots propped up, holding his pocket knife in mid-gesture. Gays in the military have been the center of attention since Bill Clinton began campaigning. Now, some say lesbians should also be in the limelight. University student Chris Miller was rescued Saturday afternoon after falling 15 feet while exploring a cave in Pleasant Gap.
It was another banner day for the women's swim team on Saturday, as it cruised to its 12th victory in 13 dual meets this season, beating LaSalle, 144-83. Behind Allison Barber's 9.9 on the vault, the women's gymnastics team just squeaked past Arizona and took first place at the Cat Classic in Columbia, Mo. Kim Kelly was just .47 seconds behind Joline Staehli of Georgetown as the two crossed the finish line of the 3,000-meter race at the Syracuse Invitational. The outcome of any track meet is unpredictable, because a fraction of a second, or an inch could mean the difference between winning and losing. It was a time to celebrate good times with old friends. Speed, depth and determination pushed the Penn State Icers two wins closer to Nationals and extended their winning streak to 24. So close, yet so far away. That was the feeling of the entire Princeton volleyball team as it fell in defeat to the Lions Friday evening at Rec Hall. If the men's volleyball team plans on playing the rest of the season the way it played on Friday, it can kiss its postseason chances goodbye. It's no secret that the lion is king of the jungle. The wrestling team returned to Rec Hall and demonstrated to the hometown fans why it is the No. 1 team in the nation. COLUMBUS, OHIO -- With 8:31 to play in Saturday's men's basketball game at Ohio State, Penn State center John Amaechi banked in a three-foot hook shot to put his team ahead 48-33. COLUMBUS, OHIO -- A despondent hush permeated St. John Arena. As if bound and gagged, the 13,276 Ohio State faithful sat in silent awe, helplessly watching Penn State run up a threatening 15-point lead with merely 8:31 left. The team and the crowd were desperate, searching for an injection of life, a glimmer of hope, or just someone to make some noise. After defeating Minnesota 72-66 on Friday, the women's basketball team had a chance to thrust itself into the thick of the Big Ten title race with a victory against Iowa yesterday. No. 3 Iowa and No. 4 Penn State clashed yesterday in what was supposed to be a nailbiter of a women's basketball game. They had been there before, but the thrills of victory had alluded them. When you think of coaching legends, Bobby Knight, Dean Smith and Joe Paterno come to mind. In the wrestling world, the coaching legends are Cliff Kleen, Dan Cable and Bill Koll.
