You find yourself in a huge white marble building. The workmanship of this room shows you that 3 Kingdoms is a wonderful place of ingenuity and craftmanship. An elegant stairway ascends up to the adventurers guild. Another identical staircase descends to the council and board rooms of 3 Kingdoms. A large open doorway leading out to the city of Pinnacle and adventure lies to the east. On the west wall, there is a huge map of Pinnacle . . . Friends cheered, "Shove it in" and "Close your eyes, it goes down easier" as red tomatoes fell from stuffed mouths to the green grass of the HUB lawn. Crisp shreddings of lettuce blew in the breeze while pieces of half-chewed bread covered the table. Contemplation of the universe's composition has been dizzying the human mind since the beginning of existence, and a large part of the debate in astronomical circles recently has been about "dark matter." Undergraduate Student Government President Mike King and Centre County Commissioner Denny Sciabica announced a plan yesterday to make it easier for students to vote in the primary and general elections. University Police Services has traded in its ink pads for a new user-friendly fingerprinting system. Television commercials starring political figures addressing voters are signs that gubernatorial elections are approaching. Some advertisements push one candidate's platform, but others seem to degrade opponents. A 2-year-old boy fell 42 feet onto concrete from an open window yesterday morning, the Bellefonte Police Department said. A Penn State senior took his life Tuesday evening, less than one month before he would have graduated. The kickoff of State College's 100th birthday party is still more than two years away, but the borough has taken another step toward the celebration with the hiring of a part-time director to coordinate the events. At the end of another busy work day, Norm Brown hustles through the Student Book Store -- always in control. Answering phone calls on one end, and responding to his employees' countless questions on another, he is authoritative and he knows what he wants out of his business. But at the same time his cheery, fatherly countenance makes all who approach him feel welcome. Heading down College Avenue, people will find more than spring tulips blooming along the roadside. Where the metal Morton College Township Municipal Building once stood at 1481 E. College Ave., a larger, more modern structure has taken its place. After living in an apartment building and a house in a residential area, 3-year-old Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity will finally have a place to hang its letters next fall. The Council of Commonwealth Student Governments elected new officers at its meeting Saturday.
With the women's lacrosse team holding on to a precarious 8-7 lead with 6:17 remaining in its game with Old Dominion yesterday, freshman attacker Michele DeJuliis found herself having an important decision to make. It is hard to find words that describe Alex Schoonmaker. The closest would be an enigma -- if that can be considered a description. Despite the pride of having two Lady Lions gymnasts competing in today's NCAA Championships at Utah, Coach Steve Shephard said he and his team are feeling a little empty. Chris Devine has been showing all season that he can compete with the best divers in America. It took the women's lacrosse team over 51 minutes to do it. And when the Lady Lions finally pulled ahead of Old Dominion and returned to Lady Lion Field after a timeout, defender Shauna Williams was jumping with joy. Screaming, she told her team they were going to do it. The men's volleyball team marked the end of the beginning last night, as the No. 3 Lions closed out their regular season with a slow-starting four-game win over Rutgers-Newark, (11-15, 15-4, 15-2, 15-5). The crowd, especially the Puerto Rican contingent, played a big role in the men's volleyball team's victory last night. It seriously emerged for the first time in several weeks to harass the visiting Rutgers-Newark Warriors. By this point in the season, most teams have learned there are certain things they can just count on. Penn State is no different. For the men's tennis team, playing outside means playing in the wind and playing at home means winning. Doug Schoenly dealt with a common dilemma among high school athletes. He had a great athletic career as the No. 1 player of the Glenbard West High School tennis team -- he was All-State twice, and All-Area three times. But no college recruiters were knocking on the door of his suburban Chicago home to offer their scholarship money. Last year, Justin Craig was billed as Penn State's sophomore pitching sensation.
