For those who can't get enough of the holiday spirit, it is still possible to cure those New Year's blues -- with a nighttime walk through the borough of State College. Students tend to come to college with a post-adolescent self-absorption. They worry about their exams and their relationships and their money. And more often than not in this beer distributer's heaven, where to party next is the burning concern. A cancer cure may be far away, but a doctor at the University's Hershey Medical Center has identified the chromosome that may be the key to stopping the spread of the disease, which claimed 875 Centre County residents during the late '80s. Cecil Bentley, editor and publisher of The Union-Recorder newspaper in Milledgeville, Ga., was named executive editor of the Centre Daily Times Tuesday. Women who don't want to work out next to sweaty, weight-clanging men can now get away from it at the East Halls Gym. Objections were voiced yesterday in response to an advertisement that appeared in The Daily Collegian and has been in other newspapers across the nation challenging the legitimacy of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Less than a week after a fire burned 39 fraternity members out of their home, the cost of rebuilding the Pi Lambda Phi fraternity house has not been determined.
Upon entering the McCoy Natatorium from its south side, the anxiety pains began taking shape. The butterflies were hard at work. Seven agonizing seconds remained. Leading 3-2, and only a moment away from securing a key win in a hostile arena, the climax was still to come. Any coach's dream is a versatile athlete -- one who can fill any spot in the lineup. But few athletes are capable of performing well in every position, and even fewer can hold more than one spot at the same time. The men's volleyball team is ranked fourth in the most recent American Volleyball Coaches Association Tachikara Top 15 poll, despite the fact that its 5-1 record is better than that of two of the teams ranked above the Lions. The word is out -- and the reaction is favorable. The 1994 Nittany Lion recruiting class has received high marks. People have been pestering men's basketball coach Bruce Parkhill all year about his freshman point guard Dan Earl. It simply would not end, this barrage of rebounds and putbacks and rebounds and putbacks. Too many tips to count, too many arms and legs to track. And while Illinois never scored on this one endless possession, that wasn't the point. Rivalries have always been a part of sports. Whether it be the Cowboys and Redskins, Lakers and Celtics or the Red Sox and Yankees, the idea of meeting one's rival has always brought out the best in athletes. Mike Hochreiter has season tickets for men's basketball, but he also attends women's games -- logic says most people should. The women's team is No. 1 and undefeated. The men are unranked with six losses. And, Lady Lion games are free. But the disparity doesn't end there.
