Laxers in for SUNY afternoon
Last season the men's lacrosse team from SUNY-Stony Brook came to State College to play Penn State (7-1). But in the 20-4 thrashing that the Lions dealt out, the real SUNY-Stony Brook team never showed up.

This time a year ago, the Penn State women's tennis team was en route to finishing a dismal 2-10 record, 1-9 in the Big Ten. What a difference a year makes.

To sleep: perchance to dream
Brian Clare dreamt of walking straight from his shower into his physics class. Was this a premonition, a dream of anxiety, a Freudian dream of sexual symbolism, or, as Clare (freshman-physics and chemistry) thinks, just weird?

Vive les Muppets!
Just about everybody in college today grew up watching "The Muppet Show," or has at least caught a few reruns of that classic variety show which ran from 1976 to 1981. But if you're some sort of weirdo who has never been exposed to the glorious lunacy of "Pigs in Space" or "Veterinarian's Hospital" with Dr. Bob, then never fear. The Muppets have made a comeback in a big way with their new show "Muppets Tonight."

Most evenings, the State College music scene presents listeners with a choice of the same bands performing played-out covers or whatever sound is currently passing for ska.

Rockabilly lives on in mainstream music
The sound of Gretsch guitars beckon listeners to something that's not quite rock, not quite country. It's rockabilly, a musical style that has been around ever since Elvis Presley first swiveled his hips way back in the '50s.
