Penn State's Black Caucus is including a freedom drive to Harrisburg during its second annual "Freedom: Now More than Ever" rally this weekend.

Penn State is the first university to have a Promise Station (www.pennstatepromise.org), an online database of all university outreach activities. Penn State created the Web site after becoming a University of Promise, a group of colleges nationwide dedicated to using university resources to better the lives of children in their communities.

Saturday night dates in State College for Jill Anderson and her then-boyfriend Kermit Anderson were usually low key.

Scott Hazelcorn was a person who dreamt of owning an ice cream truck so he could hear the squeals of children all day. He offered people hugs rather than handshakes, his friends said.

Penn State President Graham Spanier will speak on the state of the university at 3 p.m. today in Eisenhower Auditorium.

Sean O'Keefe, a NASA administrator and former Secretary of the Navy, will give a lecture entitled "Managing Transformation" at 11:30 a.m. today at the Nittany Lion Inn, 200 W. Park Ave.


SPORTS

One of the most important players for Penn State this weekend is a freshman from New Britain, Conn., who will not touch the field.

They know it's coming.

With two weeks off, the Penn State football team had more than enough time to prepare for tomorrow's showdown with No. 8 Nebraska.

It was the end of the 2000 scholastic football seasons, and the holidays were approaching. College scholarships were stuffed in the stockings of the top talent across the country and those young men were buying shirts and hats for the school of their choice.

After last week's cross-county trip to the West Coast to participate in the UCLA Women's Cup, the No. 6 Penn State women's soccer team will stay on the East Coast this weekend and play in the Harvard Tournament in Massachusetts.

It beat the toughest team on its schedule last weekend, so this should be a cakewalk.

It's called the Penn State Classic.

With the football team set to take on Nebraska tomorrow, let us not forget about some other rivalries that will be played out this weekend.

The Penn State football team is not the only group of Nittany Lions expecting big things from new people this weekend. However, it gets the advantage of dealing with the learning curve at home.

Women's X-C geared up for Georgetown Invitational

The Penn State men's rugby team will be going up against the unknown this Saturday at 11 a.m. at the West Campus Fields, when it faces the University of Pennsylvania.

ARTS

Today and tomorrow at 7:30 p.m., Next Stage Inc., a local independent theater corporation, will perform three one-act plays, titled Late Date.

If you don't know who James Franco is already, you will pretty soon. The 23-year-old actor has already won a Golden Globe for the titular role in TNT's James Dean biopic and costarred in the summer's biggest blockbuster, Spider-Man (as Green Goblin's son).

The Black Crowes never seemed to add much to the history of rock and roll. Throughout their career, which most likely came to a close earlier this year when they announced they are on "hiatus," they were certainly never known for any sort of experimentation or sonic innovation.

In his new book, Ruminations on College Life, hard-partying University of Pennsylvania graduate Aaron Karo captures the lighter side of the college experience, with hilarious results. It seems as if no one is safe from Karo's acerbic wit, as he tackles dorm life, drunken freshmen and clueless professors, among other victims.

No one goes to teen thrillers expecting to be scared anymore. Just give me some gratuitous sex, PG-13 violence and a few good laughs.

The debut album from ex-Letters to Cleo frontwoman Kay Hanley, Cherry Marmalade bounces with charming power pop.

Eve-Olution, the ruff-ryding bad girl's third release, exhibits her shift from visceral rap to tough R&B.

WEATHER

Mostly Sunny. High 77.
