Phi Kappa Theta fraternity is back and reorganizing at the University after a hiatus of almost three years. Spring break tans will soon fade -- but it may be awhile before heartaches disappear for many students who ended relationships last week. Members of the Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Student Alliance gathered on Old Main's steps yesterday to protest the University's response to Project TEACH! University officials lobbied members of the state Senate Appropriations Committee at the budget hearings in Harrisburg yesterday -- pressing for $20 million more than the University received for 1993-94. Candidates for Undergraduate Student Government president and vice president probably won't receive an endorsement from current USG President Chris Saunders and Vice President Heather Shore. Some different tunes will be filtering out of local bars tonight -- traditional Irish tunes will be heard amid the more typical bar sounds. Ferguson Township Police Chief Edward Connor said it is only a "matter of time" until his department apprehends the carjacker who threatened a University student Friday night. Centre County Coroner Kerry Benninghoff determined the identity of a man killed in an accident Monday morning on state Route 322 east of Boalsburg. Drinking green beer, dancing the Irish jig to bagpipes and making friends with The World's Largest Leprechaun are just part of the many traditional events happening in State College this St. Patrick's Day. Grammy award-winning group Arrested Development will headline the 20th annual Beta Sigma Beta Sy Barash Regatta. The University has attempted to make its final exam schedule user-friendly -- but the change may be more of an enemy to some.
Everyone is talking about March Madness on the hardwood. How about some March Madness in the pool? There will be more in North Carolina than just basketball this weekend.
Wrestling's 'March Madness' gets underway in one of basketball's holy shrines, the Dean E. Smith Center -- better known as the Dean Dome. But fans in the Dean Dome won't be thinking hoops and hardwood --except maybe the Tar Heel fans; instead, they'll be thinking takedowns and pins, when the NCAA Championships begin at 10 a.m. today in Chapel Hill.
Whether it was Helen Holloway exploding with 21 points, the speed spearheaded by Carla Coleman or a bench that combined for 40 points, the women's basketball team simply proved to be too much for Patriot League Champion Fordham last night. The irony of his action probably never crossed Kevin Morris' mind.Morris, coach of the Fordham women's basketball team, was just under eight minutes away from the end of his squad's 94-41 battering at the hands of Penn State. Waiting for an inbounds play after a timeout, Morris stood in front of the Lady Rams bench and, trying to get his team's attention, waved a white towel.
When the buzzer sounded, Mark Schmidt flailed both arms in the air and dashed onto the Knickerbocker Arena court. The excitement was evident -- a Cinderella team was born. The men's tennis team is coming off a tough week. The Lions lost both of their Big Ten matches last week, and now return home to face Temple. The women's lacrosse team stood in front of the White Building yesterday, chanting like warriors on their way to a fight. The young women, armed only with wooden sticks, were about to face a battle-scarred, veteran-ridden team from Loyola. Move over Digger. Get a TO, Dicky Vee. It's time for Collegian sports writers Scott Brown, Damian Dobrosielski, Kevin Gorman and Mike Weinreb to sort through this mess we call "March Madness" . . . Still trying to figure out which team will emerge from the 64 teams that comprise this year's NCAA Tournament? Confused by Dick Vitale's 18 Final Four picks? My Opinion: Michael A. Rabkin
