When students go to the voting booths on March 30, they will be deciding more than just who the next Undergraduate Student Government leaders will be. They will have an opportunity to voice their opinion on important issues.

When University student Andrea Baker was crowned Miss Central Pennsylvania last month she won about $2,000 in scholarships, hundreds of dollars in prizes and the admiration of many. But Baker said not everyone is impressed by her title.

In light of the upcoming Pennsylvania primary election, the College Democrats endorsed attorney Charles Volpe for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.

When it comes to graduation, students don't only need to make the grades -- they also need to search for a hotel for their families to stay in during graduation weekend.

The Faculty Senate voted to modify the criteria used to evaluate faculty for promotion and tenure after about 45 minutes of discussion yesterday. Some faculty senators said it would not be a big change.

Although the Pennsylvania Democratic Committee decided not to endorse a gubernatorial candidate for the May primary, seven candidates seeking the Democratic nomination have continued business as usual.

SPORTS

It's hard to talk to Helen Holloway for long without getting around to her knees.

Jackie Donovan remembers describing her nephew to her teammates on the women's basketball team two days ago. He has a funny personality. One second he can be in a good mood, but turn around and you meet Mr. Hyde. That's when one of her teammates told her it runs in the family.

Fencing history was made last weekend when Tom Strzalkowski, Andy Gearhart and Olga Chernyak won the men's sabre, foil and women's foil, respectively, at the North American Circuit in Atlanta.

When Iowa and Ohio State crashed the Final Four at last year's NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament, it marked something of a new era in the collegiate game.

The unranked Nittany Lion baseball team finally finished its extended spring break vacation Monday night, beating No. 13 Texas A & M, 6-1. The victory was Penn State's fourth of the Aggie Contintental Classic, a ten-game road trip.

Julie Williams hopes the butterflies don't get out of control today. She knows her women's lacrosse team was nervous in last week's opener against Richmond, when the Lady Lions narrowly escaped with a 12-11 overtime victory.

The net was empty. Then the game, the season, and the career came to a close.

When Ricky Sayles looked across the line of scrimmage, he saw a row of enemies -- sweating, grunting, and waiting with bated breath for a chance to knock him down, hard. On this playing field, the former Penn State wide receiver and tight end usually triumphed.

It will be the largest crowd Fordham has faced all season. Pardon, correction please. The crowd will exceed the culmination of all the crowds that the Lady Rams (21-8) have played in front of this season.

Letters to the editor

ARTS

Starting Friday, the Graduate Student Association will stop showing second-run films in Chambers Building because of lack of attendance.

A group of Tibetan Buddhist monks will be singing and praying for world peace in State College tonight. But their mission is to do more than save the world -- they also want to raise awareness of the situation faced by Tibetans living in exile in India.

It's a dog-eat-dog world in the State College bar scene. If you're not making money for the bar owners, you're not making a name for yourself.
