Black History Month attendance stressed
Student organizations and administrators alike are stressing the importance of the attendance of all students at events scheduled for Black History Month this year.
CAC fee increase to upgrade labs
The lines are too long. Help is hard to find. Printing costs too much.
New PSUVO officers elected
The Penn State University Veteran's Organization held its annual elections last night, replacing four of its five current officers.
After 33 years Kopp retires
After more than 33 years at the University, the deputy vice president for international programs will retire in August.
Cold, storm making way
No matter what the furry, little groundhog predicts today, an early spring or another endless six weeks of winter, the skies above State College may not follow the advice the little guy gives.
Local Democrats and Republicans search for candidate to fill empty seat
While state Rep. Ruth Rudy, D-Centre, embarks on a run for Congress, local politicians are working to see who will succeed the veteran legislator in Harrisburg.
Police log
----------------------------SPORTS----------------------------
Laxers face familiar opponents in former players, teammates
Something old, something new -- that's what spectators will see this weekend as the men's lacrosse team opens up with its annual alumni game at 3 p.m. tomorrow in Holuba Hall.
Fencers face unfamiliar foes
Fencing coach Emmanuil Kaidanov is not very often at a loss for words. But when trying to describe Brown, Boston College and Brandeis, three of the Lions (8-0) opponents this weekend, the words didn't come very easily.
Boxers sail into town for weekend matches
Every Tuesday and Thursday some of Penn State's most dedicated athletes can be found training hard in a stuffy and cramped wrestling room in the IM Building. No hi-tech equipment or names on the back of uniforms exist. What will be found, however, is a lot of sweat, a little blood and many red faces.
Trackwomen to meet WVU
The foundation for the Penn State women's track and field team's season grew larger after its successful weekend at the Boston Terrier Classic, and the Brooks' Invitational at West Virginia tomorrow may be another brick.
Gymwomen roar into Cat Classic
The Arizona women's gymnastics team almost didn't upset No. 4 UCLA last weekend.
Tennis star sets above all
Unfortunately, dedication and hard work don't always get you where you want to go -- but it is just these things that got Olga Novikova where she is now.
Return of great Russ-ler
Russ Hughes can't be found within the pages of the 1995-96 Penn State wrestling media guide. None of his career statistics and highlights, personal background, or a quote about him from his coach can be found.
Cupcakes crowd lady cagers' slate
The next stretch of games for the Lady Lion basketball team appears to be the perfect arrangement for a cakewalk.
Ex-Icer returns to Ice Pavilion
Former Icer defenseman and current coach of the ECHA-leading West Virginia University ice hockey team, Josh Brandwene, brings his team into town for games at 9 tonight and 3:30 tomorrow afternoon at the ice pavilion.
Two teams on rebound
In his nine-plus seasons as head coach of Iowa basketball, Tom Davis has endured 21 losing streaks of varying lengths. Tomorrow at 3 p.m. in Carver-Hawkeye Arena, he will try to avoid number 22 and hand Penn State coach Jerry Dunn his first.
Swimmen diving for a win
It's a format they've gotten used to this season. Already they've competed twice in double-dual meets and both times walked away victorious, collecting not one but two wins.
Spikers hope home is where the victories are
The Penn State men's volleyball team is returning to Rec Hall and hoping to return to the win column.
Patriotic performance key for trackmen
The men's indoor track and field team will have its work cut out tomorrow in the Patriot Games in Fairfax, Va. The team will face some of its toughest competition of the season.
Road rules
Their home meets are over, their practices are winding down.
Three gymnasts travel to Colorado
Although the Penn State men's gymnastics team does not have a meet this weekend, three gymnasts will be heading to Colorado to strut their stuff in front of all of the top gymnasts in the United States, including the U.S. Olympic Team.

Historical documentary highlights 'Angels in America'
Hey, you. Yeah, you! Are you going to see Angels in America, playing in Eisenhower Auditorium on Feb. 13 and 14? If you are, then you should check out The Unquiet Death of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg first.
Marley, his Wailers still stirring it up
Bob Marley may very well be the most popular reggae musician who has ever lived. Even after his death from brain cancer in the early '80s, Marley's music lives on and influences musicians today.
'Squall' sinks despite exciting filmmaking
Ridley Scott is one of today's most visionary directors. In Alien, he made us cringe. In Blade Runner, we found out that inhuman androids could have a soul. He has the ability to shock, scare and move us in his own distinctly powerful fashion.
'Opus' pulls strings too hard, too often
It's rare that a movie comes along and touches your soul, warms your heart and makes you feel glad to be alive. I mean, the special type of film that really gets you right (pointing to chest) here.
Stormin' ska: 2000 Flushes
In the bowels of Fisher Hall, 2000 Flushes plunges into their own version of the Jamaican ska. In a mockery of angry punk bands, they throw chairs, jump off pianos and knock over amps as if utterly disturbed with the arrangement of the room. Rather than singing about angst and rebellion, vocalist Mike Kuhle (sophomore-business) breaks into an ode to his dead hamster.
Ministry rehashes past glories
Back in the days when CDs cost a quarter and Silverchair was still in diapers, Ministry scheduled the release of a new album. Then lead singer Al Jourgensen went into a snooze worthy of Rip Van Winkle, awakening only to find the world he knew changed forever and his own creative powers just a shadow of what they once were.
Dancers add grace to centuries-old mansion
An antiquated peach-colored wedding dress hangs on a dressform on one side of the ancient master bedroom. Two rocking chairs, a maroon velvet couch and an old wooden bed surround a black isinglass fireplace. Aside from feeling the presence of a possible spirit, the only life in the room is a spider plant that is nestled near the window.
Van Morrison turns talent to jazz classics
How long has this been going on?
Turtle Island String Quartet emerge from their shells
Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane and George Gershwin aren't typically associated with chamber music, but their music can be experienced at 8 p.m. today at Schwab Auditorium as San Francisco's Turtle Island String Quartet takes the stage.
