Racism surrounds the Penn State community, and some students and administrators say the University may not be doing enough to recognize or combat it. Campus dining halls have offered everything from taco salad to chicken cosmos, and now one offers a computer to provide nutritional information. The latest in University sports results, upcoming arts events and the local weather forecast are now just a phone call away. With temperatures this week expected to drop into the teens and wind chill factors expected to be below zero, the furthest thing from students' minds will be the snow. The State College Bureau of Police Services and University Police Services have never signed a mutual assistance pact -- and they did not have to.
