During his election campaign, President Clinton promised to put an end to the existing welfare program and replace it with a more efficient way to help welfare recipients. In the corner of some store windows in the Centre County area is a little red sticker. It announces that the store honors the IMBC Community Card -- a card that is a mystery to some and a benefit to others. President Clinton is not the only well-known official that gets to stand in front of politicians to talk about health care, welfare and crime -- yesterday Gov. Robert P. Casey had his turn. It is a brutal battle found anywhere on campus -- the battle of soda vs. pop, wooder vs. wattah and rubber bands vs. gummy bands. It's a never-ending fight found at parties, football games or get-togethers -- as long as there are Philadelphians, Pittsburghers and New Yorkers there.
Winning a national championship is a goal big enough for most people. But not for Byron Schneider. An open letter to Former Vice President Dan Quayle: The men's epée squad will be playing in two conflicting roles that are unfamilar to it come 8 a.m. Saturday when it takes to the strip at the White Building. Two weeks ago, Kerry McCoy was the No. 7 heavyweight in the country, struggling to gain respect. Since then, he has climbed the charts faster than a Pearl Jam album -- all the way to No. 1. At Penn State, they train as a team. In Colorado, they will compete as rivals. The labels come easily. It is easy to describe brilliance. National player of the year. All-American. Lottery pick. Life in the Big Ten doesn't get any easier for the men's basketball team tonight. A respite from hostile gyms and hostile fans brings the league's most hostile player. Ghosts, regardless of what form they take, all share a common purpose -- they haunt.
