"Sad News Guys," read the sign Terri Doolittle hung in front of Auntie Anne's Pretzels yesterday. The sign let people know they had until 5 p.m. to buy what might be their last Auntie Anne's pretzel on College Avenue. Undergraduate Student Government presidential candidate Erich May might not be singing, "hail to the Lion" today if it turns out the Nittany Lion's appearance to solicit votes for him violated election rules or University policies. When two fraternities pack up their belongings and switch homes next semester, they will only have to change one number in their addresses.
After already toppling Lady Spiders at Richmond and the Tribe of William & Mary, the Lady Lion lacrosse team now looks to dismantle a group of Engineers. For years, Chris Evert Lloyd looked across the court during tournaments to see the name "Mrs. J.M. Lloyd" lit up on the scoreboard. It didn't matter that she -- not her husband -- was the tennis star. What really mattered in the Dark Ages of women's professional sports was social respectability. Say what you will about Mitch Williams. It doesn't matter -- he's gone. And except for a few visits with the Astros, the closest the Phillies will come to a "Wild Thing" fastball is a screening of Major League 2. The Pittsburgh Pirates are solid both offensively and defensively, but the pitching staff has more questions than an episode of Jeopardy. Thanks to realignment, the San Francisco Giants will be the favorite in the revamped National League West. The big question is: How can the Giants excel without Will Clark, who signed with Texas in the off-season? Clark brought an intensity to the game that will be sorely missed, and pitchers have even less reason to pitch to Barry Bonds, the best player in the game. With four years of varsity tennis coming to a close and graduation looming near, senior tri-captain Tammy Okins-Nguyen will be moving on, leaving behind a big pair of tennis shoes to fill. If members of the Nashua Aqua YWCA synchronized swim team in Merrimack, N.H., qualify for nationals again this year, they will actually be able to attend the competition. Assistant Fencing Coach Suzie Paxton has been on a collision course destined for Europe the last few months, and now it's adding up. Traveling in hopes to fence in the next Olympics, Paxton has been to approximately 10 European countries within the last year, and the funds were dwindling, until now. It only makes sense that a landscape architecture major would build a solid foundation for his future. For that reason, Nittany Lion infielder Ryan Wheeler has done his best to embody the term "student-athlete" while at Penn State.
