Members of the Undergraduate Student Government Senate passed a motion last night to endorse the restructuring efforts of University student leaders. A crowd is expected to gather at noon today in front of State Rep. Lynn Herman's (R-Centre) office, 301 S. Allen Street, to protest the passage of the Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act. Michelle Patterson can rarely be seen on campus without her little bottle of filtered water. The barn smell pervades the snow-filled air. A chorus of "baas" and a strong odor comes from the open barn door. The animals stare with bright, glassy eyes, their frozen breath hanging in the air. Workers' voices sound down the dark aisle. Local police and event organizers expect their team effort to successfully maintain security for the 1994 Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon this weekend. The Commonwealth Campuses are hoping to expand programs to raise enrollment figures and make sure their campuses remain open, despite budget problems and an effort to increase efficiency University-wide. Space -- to find it anywhere is the goal of many college students living in the dorms. They cram, jam and slam any and all things -- but the one key way to find it is with a loft. Fear no more the pile of dirty clothes growing with a life of its own. Hours at the laundromat, rolls of quarters and lugging bags of laundry can all be things of the past. As the spring thaw grows closer and students can once again take to their bicycles, many have found that their bicycles have disappeared -- to theives. Bo Pitkin (junior-architectural engineering) returned to State College from his winter break to find his GT Questa mountain bicycle missing from his fraternity house. Pitkin had left his bike in the hallway of Sigma Chi fraternity, 400 E. Prospect Ave., where he lives. But when he returned, it was gone. Mother Nature has caused more problems than just wet shoes and frozen fingers -- the 1994 Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon might suffer. NEW ORLEANS -- John Delavan wouldn't miss it for the world -- he has been to seven in a row and he doesn't plan to miss one anytime soon. Clad in jeans and a baseball cap, he is the typical Penn State student, complaining about walking to class in the snow and grumbling about studying apes in an 8 a.m. biology class. With the increased need to get academically strong minority students, many colleges and universities have been working on strategies for effective minority recruitment and retention.
Saying Steve Jones, the play-by-play voice of Penn State basketball, is "just" a sports fan is like saying Michael Jordan was "just" a basketball player. The slogan on the Icers' season schedule reads, "The Final Four in '94." The players now feel the slogan is an underachievement. They travel for weeks across the frozen United States. They'll see slap shots in Canada, goalies in Michigan, and high-powered scoring throughout the Northeast. Varsity hockey coaches take to the road, in a quest to find the blue-chip recruit. This is recruiting in collegiate hockey. And then there were two. Tied for first-place in conference standings are No. 2 Penn State (19-1, 10-1) and No. 9 Purdue (19-3, 10-1). The teams have split victories in their meetings this season, both using home-court advantage for close decisions. With less than a month to go in the regular season, it appears that the Big Ten will send at least six teams to the NCAA Tournament. Stashed away deep in the White Building's fencing room, Coach Emmanuil Kaidanov and his staff have little cookie cutters shaped like epe fencers. With them, he molded one of the nations toughest men's epe teams, and last August the NCAA forced him to get new cookie cutters -- in the shape of women epe fencers. It's the best seat in the house. Underneath the basket, away from the enthusiastic mass lining the bleachers, sits 8-year-old Bradley Troyan. Olympic ice hockey is experiencing some growing pains. Just ask Team USA, which has already fallen victim to the newest competitor in the hockey arena at the Games --the instant replay. They are two trains traveling in different directions. One is on its way downhill after a wild early-season ride, while the other is chugging uphill toward the top of the Big Ten mountain. My Opinion: Linda Nawrocki
