Thrifty Loopers ride on weekend
The students stood huddled outside, silhouetted by the streetlight above.
For them, the complex world of today had been reduced to a matter of temperature and time, both of which were running rather low at this point as the Friday night scene at the University began to unfold.
Cold snap expected to end
Punxsutawney Phil was right -- maybe.
The famed groundhog who did not see his shadow on Feb. 2 predicted that spring was on the way. And meteorologists have forecast that the frigid weather of this weekend will be replaced by more balmy temperatures at the end of the week.
Group focuses on sexual assault
Although there are counseling services on campus that deal with sexual assault, Penn State Survive is a new peer counseling group and referral service for sexual assault victims as well as friends of victims.
'Thon preparations underway
With sunshine streaming through the windows and students intently working behind desks and computer screens, it seems like a usual weekday morning in the special events office on the second floor of the HUB. But with the 1995 Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon -- the country's largest student-run philanthropy -- less than a week away, this morning is anything but ordinary.
Police Log
League promotes Pa. college hockey
For a league that started at a dinner meeting, the West Penn College Hockey Association has done pretty well.
JV Icers win despite mix-up
After the first goal of the game was scored by the Penn State West squad, it looked like things might be going their way.
Grapplers honor alumni
They walked around the perimeter of the Rec Hall wrestling mat, each receiving a warm welcome from the crowd.
Few home showings bother gymnasts
Penn State gymnast Tracy Kerner feels like she is connected with the audience every time she performs on the Rec Hall floor.

Letters to the editor
Cupid's march
The bland narrow hallways of Centre-Hall-Potter Elementary School have been graced with a splash of red, and one first grader has been struck by Cupid.
Come as you are
In Annie Hall, Woody Allen opted for a dimly lit red light while his partner, Diane Keaton insisted on smoking a little pot to help her relax. While Allen was turned off by Keaton's hemp hang-up, and Keaton never seemed interested in Allen's red light, they proved that setting the mood may be stickier than sex itself.
Human nature says people can't help falling in love
"Love is in the air . . ." It was the theme from the '80s TV series The Love Boat. The subject of love and romance is as commonplace and familiar as the sun and the moon. Love, along with death, is one of the strongest driving forces in our lives. And everywhere we turn, love is the theme for books, movies and music.
Horror flick fails to deliver on promise
Picture a world where the frame of reference is reversed. Insanity becomes the norm and the works of a horror writer who sells more books than Stephen King become the Bible of a new world. All who read his books go insane and if a person doesn't read the book, she or he can always catch the movie. In the Mouth of Madness looked promising, but fell short of that interesting premise.
Romantic day exudes cheese instead of love
Valentine's Day is traditionally considered a day of romance, but sometimes at this time of year, Cupid's arrow can cause heartache instead of triggering love. And the red and pink decorations, heart-shaped boxes of chocolate and the word L-O-V-E displayed in many store windows are turning some stomachs.
