The University has sent requests for proposals to six independent vendors to manage the University bookstore system. The drive for low cholesterol levels that has swept the nation should sweep college campuses as well. One center on campus helps more than 2,000 students a year with some of their toughest problems. With more snow in the forecast, ski enthusiasts may take to the road to find alternatives to local resorts. Although it seems like the snowfall will never end, State College has not seen more than its fair share this season. The sign of the big red tomato. A big brass hippo head. A chubby chef with a thick black mustache. Undergraduate Student Government members supporting the inclusion of the student status clause in the State College Borough Council's proposed fair housing ordinance may have hurt their cause more than they helped it. Mirsada spent more than four months in a camp where she was raped every night -- sometimes more than once and usually by different Serbian men. She is 17. The political parties in Pennsylvania can't tell right from left. Tussey Mountain Ski Area is having a white sale starting Monday -- but it isn't to sell sheets or towels.
Not only does the men's baseball team's season finally start on Saturday but, after six weeks of practice, the Lions finally get to play outside. So close and yet so far. When the women's tennis team hosts its first Big Ten opponent of the season tomorrow at the Indoor Tennis Club, it will be looking to equal last year's conference win total. The countdown until the Big Ten Championship is on -- it's just a week away -- but the men's track team still has one test left. A small portion of the women's track team will be on a mission Sunday afternoon. At the start of the season, Paul Maginnis was totally focused on one goal: a National Championship. With three seniors and the Big Ten Freshman of the Year returning from a team that posted a 20-9 mark and earned a NCAA Tournament bid last season, the future looked bright for the Wisconsin women's basketball team. Although the Icers have a perfect record, they are not the only capable team competing in the Atlantic Collegiate Hockey League playoffs this weekend at the ice pavilion. Let the games begin. "I'd like to beat him; Kip would like to beat him and I'm sure Mike would like to beat us," Knopp said. "But you try not to pay attention to the battle for all-around throughout the meet." It's just the two of them, alone, representing the entire conference. As a rash of injuries slowly reduced the size of the women's gymnastics team, the role of each remaining gymnast steadily grew larger and larger.

Members of Washington, D.C. band Eggs said the group is all about experimentation, even if that means annoying a few people along the way. Neil Jordan's masterful The Crying Game is one of the best films in years -- a film that entwines the audience in a web of political and romantic intrigue before pulling the rug out from under it. Carrying their instruments through light snow and cutting wind, daylight fading away, some members of the Penn State Vienna Orchestra trek from the Frizzell Room in Eisenhower Chapel's basement to the Music Building. A bunch of twentysomething men have formed a band in Boston, and they are dead set on "making it" in chamber music. Digable Planets' new album Reachin' (a new refutation of time and space) should be re-titled "Relaxin' with Digable Planets," like the old Miles Davis classic. Those who were looking forward to seeing the Black Crowes play in Rec Hall can start singing the blues.
