The Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Student Alliance discussed strategies last night to ensure minority representation in student government after last week's resignation of several student leaders from the Executive Student Action Council. Between being tested on fraternity history, participating in mandatory study hours and spending almost every day at the fraternity house, most members agree that pledges need at least six weeks to learn a fraternity inside and out. The University's choice of a Homecoming date has some of the fans cheering and others jeering. Head down, eyes on his drawing, Jose Torres hardly speaks above a whisper. Affectionately called Angel by friends, life for Torres has been difficult. Even the most unbusinesslike University students have been through a crash course in economics during the past two weeks as they have budgeted whatever funds they have to pay for new books. Four Undergraduate Student Government Senators resigned at last night's USG Senate meeting, and it is possible that a fifth senator may also resign. The Apartment Store has faced and won a number of lawsuits against its tenants in small claims court -- but Linda Boyer (senior-speech communications) is one tenant who fought The Apartment Store and won.
When the Lady Lion gymnasts and the Lady Bulldogs walked on the floor in Rec Hall on Sunday night, it was obvious that the two teams were different. Before the gymnasts even put a foot on the vaulting runway or grasped the uneven bars, there was one very noticable contrast -- height. At 6:15 a.m., the Penn State campus is cold and quiet as students sleep, dreaming of warm places. But inside McCoy Natatorium, it is warm and somewhat noisy as the women's swimming team splashes through its morning practice. Troy Minnich stood over his fallen opponent, basking in the roaring praise doled out by an electrified Rec Hall crowd. His fists pumped in an obvious adrenaline rush as his teammates mobbed him, joining the celebration. As the Penn State offense worked its magic at the far end of the ice, Derek Lecours was all alone. Last year it was Indiana, Michigan and everybody else. The infamous "What I Did on my Summer Vacation" essay, a standard of elementary school education, isn't a regular feature in college classrooms. If it was, however, at least four members of the women's basketball team would have plenty to write about. You'll have to forgive Dan Earl if he sounds just a little bit naive. Maybe it's because he's just a freshman. Maybe it's because he's not used to the talking. Maybe he hasn't been hanging around Michael Jennings long enough. With one simple hit, Ramon Hernandez changes the momentum of a men's volleyball match and picks up the team's spirits almost instantly. Jeff Feinblatt wasn't one of the highlighted fencers heading into last weekend's National American Cup fencing tournament, but he emerged from the shadows to finish brighter than the shine on his foil sword.
