NEWS

A revolutionary Penn State-designed heart pump is beating in an American patient for the first time.

Because of the recent controversy stirred up by Sex Faire and Cuntfest, attention has focused on legislators and national talk show hosts. But one ingredient of the mix is missing — the student body opinion.

The Penn State American Civil Liberties Union met last night to discuss responses received from Rep. John Lawless, R-Montgomery, that attacked the right to petition government.

An alternative to lecture halls, multiple choice exams and second-hand information is being offered this spring at Penn State in the form of a trip to Las Vegas and canoeing down the Colorado River.

As Black History Month came to an end yesterday, students and faculty reflected on how it affected Penn State.

For many students, parking tickets — like death and taxes — are a sure thing downtown and on campus.

This weekend, as thousands of Penn State students head off for a week of fun on the beach, some are leaving for a different purpose, forsaking sun and surf to perform charitable services.

The Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic sponsored Spring Week is getting a new name, a new policy and a new duration.

A Penn State student accused of starting a fire in Runkle Hall was bound over on all charges yesterday at his preliminary hearing.

The two men charged in the weekend rape of a Penn State student were bound over on all charges at their preliminary hearing yesterday.

A Penn State student accused of stealing and damaging over $7,000 worth of items from six different vehicles waived his right to a preliminary hearing yesterday.


SPORTS

In a game where the stakes are a little bit higher due to Penn State's recent struggles, Penn State and Iowa will be put to the test tonight in a battle that will keep NCAA Tournament hopes alive for one team, while the other's will likely fall by the wayside.

Greg Held has been thinking about it since the start of the season — he just kept it in the back of his mind.

Rob Saliski is driving the rented Ryder truck down Scenic Route 101 in California.

They were tired, they were losing, and they were mentally and physically worn out.

Starting today, 11 teams will converge on Grand Rapids, Mich., looking for one thing — the 2001 Big Ten Tournament championship.

Call it March Madness on ice.

Since they entered the conference in 1993, the Penn State wrestling team has never failed to put at least one wrestler in the finals.

With no seniors and four freshmen expected to start at the Big Ten Tournament, March 3-4 in Evanston, Ill., the youth and inexperience of the Penn State wrestling team is glaring. At no portion of the lineup is that more blatantly obvious than at the lighter weights, where the Nittany Lions will start three redshirt freshmen.

Because of her position, she doesn't cover more than a small ear removed from the action of the game.

While the Penn State women's lacrosse team's offense can be seen as balanced, its defense can be called solid.

Letters to the editor

ARTS

My fingers ripped the plastic packaging off Everyday, the new Dave Matthews Band album, with anxious anticipation to see what wonderful songs the cream of the crop of musical acts had come up with this time.

The audience in the theater when I saw Chris Rock's newest flick Down to Earth was very obviously divided into two groups — Chris Rock fans and those who were just spending the afternoon at the movies.

Don Henley, despite the contradiction of having a full entourage of musicians, flexed his solo muscle last night at The Bryce Jordan Center as part of the Inside Job Tour.

Our hero, Darren Silverman, (Jason Biggs) joins his lifelong best friends, J.D. (Jack Black) and Wayne (Steve Zahn) in a band devoted to Neil Diamond covers. This aspect of the movie is actually one of its perks — for those who listened to Neil Diamond on family trips, the soundtrack is pure nostalgia.

Alien Ant Farm's album, ANThology, is about as weak as their name. Sorry to disappoint the people in the world who were anticipating the release, but these guys are not original, creative or anything for that matter.

Vicki Lewis is the neurotic redhead sister, Katherine La Nasa is the blond Martha Stewart wannabe and A.J. Langer is the flighty brunette in this sitcom, which debuted on Jan. 9.
