University employees Gale Bowman, Frances Brown, William Meyer, Ruth Ann Witmer and former director of business services Gregory Ingram waived their rights to a preliminary hearing yesterday. When Peter DiPietro entered his apartment after Thanksgiving break, everything seemed fine at first. But a closer look sent DiPietro (senior-elementary education) straight to his phone to call the State College Police Department. Although Republican candidates agree on the major issues facing 1994 gubernatorial candidates --job creation, education and crime -- U.S. Rep. Thomas Ridge has the upper hand with endorsements, including one from the Republican State Committee. While smokers can still buy cigarettes at the Nittany Mall, lighting up there won't be so easy. A stuffed version of McGruff, the Crime Dog, appropriately stares down on the desk of Carmine Prestia. Only a few weeks after they formed a new alliance with AT&T, University officials are strengthening relationships with another national company. The University's latest and largest tenant, the Stanford Research Institute International, adds a crucial ingredient to completing the research park -- a worldwide company as an anchor. Some University researchers are being asked to step out of the laboratory and pick up a phone in support of the research park -- and the park's success may depend on how persuasive they are. Liz Trump and her roommates have been planning a trip to Panama City for more than a month and aren't about to let any little snowstorm stop them. But then again, this isn't any little snowstorm.
He wears a worn-out red Montreal Canadiens jersey when he plows through practice drills with pure determination. Dave Raymer, forward of the Icers' red line, knows his job -- do whatever it takes to stop the attack. The Penn State rifle team officially ended its season last weekend with mixed emotions. It was a time for reflection. A time of "what ifs." It's spring break for the softball team -- sun, sand, and games against five of the top 25 teams in the nation in a span of two days. This weekend, more than 30 men will get on a bus, head toward the East Coast and hang out together for a week. No, they are not going on vacation. The women's lacrosse team has every reason to get nervous. Their season opens in just two days, and the top three scorers from last season -- Donna Bucci, Ann Kolongowski and Lori Fitzgerald -- are gone. This past weekend, the men's tennis team hit Champaign, Ill., for its first sample of conference competition, splitting into two groups for a disappointing Big Ten Individual Championships. For the football players, it's not a matter of equity. For them, it's never been an issue. It's out of their control. Whether they will live in Nittany Apartments or the dorms, the choice is not completely theirs. Ricky Byrdsong's tactics may be unorthodox, but they seem to work.
Going into last night's game against Penn State, the coach had his team on a roll. A surge of momentum generated after losing its first nine Big Ten games. A roll that included a string of two consecutive road wins, and three wins in the last five games. By Northwestern standards, it was a hot streak, one brought about by the coach's leaving early last month.
Perhaps No. 24, Dion Lee, would have sunk the shot. No. 10, Kenneth Lee, just rimmed it out. The timing was absolutely perfect. In the Icers' most important game of the year, center Dave Raymer turned in his best performance. The eyes seem to find him, no matter where he is. They are not cruel. They are friendly. Like they've peered through his family album. Like they saw him take his first steps.
