A Centre County Prison guard of seven years was fired after allegations of verbal abuse, but the decision is being challenged. Now that your parents have left you on the greatest adventure of your life -- college, that is -- it's time to shop for stuff for your dorm room or apartment that you really want. Allan Moorefield, a prisoner serving a sentence for third-degree murder, burglary, theft and criminal conspiracy, was permitted to leave prison 10 times and always returned without incident -- until early August. Amid the sea of chaos surrounding student arrival for the Fall Semester, resident assistants are buoys for students trying to stay afloat. The return of students to the University for Fall Semester is often symbolized by congested roads and rising tensions as students and parents quickly attempt to haul clothes, crates and computers from crammed cars to dorms. Numerous trips with boxes in crowded elevators, days without telephone service and long lines at the realtor's office might seem like a hassle, but many students find that all these parts of the moving-in process come with the off-campus territory.

Kirt Benedict put some fear into her field hockey competitors this summer. Injuries are something every team must deal with at some point in the season. But the Nittany Lions were hoping they would not have to deal with such problems so soon.

Lie detectors and billy clubs in the small locked room. A burly guard barks to a calm man being harshly interrogated. Penn State released its updated Gender Equity Action Policy as the University continues to work towards meeting mandates established by the Big Ten's Council of Presidents. It has finally happened. Beginning with the 1994 fall season, women's soccer will become Penn State's 29th intercollegiate varsity sport. Good things come to those who wait.
