Five people were arrested Tuesday for their alleged involvement in stealing almost $23,000 from the University -- charges that include receiving reimbursements for false travel expenses during a five-year period. A HUB window decoration meant to grab the attention of passersby instead sparked student protests Tuesday night, and prompted a meeting between Jewish students and Penn State Students for Life. By filling out a simple form, information from drivers' registration records -- such as names, addresses, telephone numbers, odometer readings and previous owners -- is available to whoever wants it. The new alliance between AT&T and the University could bring the telecommunications company about $90 million -- or 360 million 25-cent calls from a phone booth. It looked like State College was in for an early spring, but yesterday morning residents awoke to seven inches of snow. As the snow continues piling up in State College, so do the sidewalk complaints on Larry Gephart's desk. Election information packets became available yesterday for those interested in running for student government positions in the newly formed Penn State Student Association (PSA), which will replace the Undergraduate Student Government. So far two packets for PSA president have been picked up. A University student was ordered by District Justice Clifford Yorks yesterday to stand trial on charges of terroristic threats and disorderly conduct.
Around this time last winter, State College residents David and Kathy Nelson were anticipating the arrival of their 10th wedding anniversary in June. The couple wanted to make the event a special occasion, but the decision of what to do or where to go was rather difficult. Wisconsin had jumped to a 15-4 lead over No. 2 Penn State 10 minutes into the first half and the Badgers were on a roll. All he wants to do is dance.
Ivan Contreras may be the men's volleyball team's starting middle blocker by name, but he is a die-hard dancer at heart.
He was the final piece, this 7-foot-1 man-child.And with Rashard Griffith providing much-needed punch in the paint -- while Michael Finley and Tracy Webster worked their magic on the perimeter -- Wisconsin got off to its best start in school history, winning its first 11 games and 13 of its first 16.
Some things only work in the movies. Gymnast Josh Turner learned that last Monday while practicing a release on the horizontal bar. The men's swimming and diving Big Ten Championships begin this afternoon in Minneapolis, Minn. and run until the final lap Saturday night. But there's no reason to wait for the results, because Kirk Skoglund already knows who the winner will be. The enthusiasm permeates the air around the Penn State Tennis Club as the Lady Lions get set to kick off the spring tennis season. As the pressure of choosing a school mounted, Kim Cohen made a decision. Turning away the soccer powerhouse of NCAA Division I No. 2 George Mason University, she decided to come to Penn State -- because she loves a challenge. When Andrew Strasser first joined the Icers three years ago, he was the center of an international incident. On a bus ride ride back from Ontario, a long trip was made even longer when the bus was delayed at the border. The big difference between men's and women's basketball teams in the Big Ten this year seems to be having a star-quality player versus having a deep, balanced attack. Unlike their male counterparts, women's teams that do not possess a star player are more successful. Penn State and sports are sort of like Barbie and Ken, or Abbott and Costello, or Beavis and Butthead. Sports is a very big part of the Penn State community and one reason is because of the promoting and marketing of Penn State athletics. When we last left Penn State center John Amaechi he had missed two free throws in the final seconds of the Lions' loss to Ohio State. He could have put the Lions up if he had hit both.
