Campaign supporters cheered as Undergraduate Student Government (USG) executive candidates debated a wide range of questions last night during the final event before tomorrow's elections. |
USG presidential candidate Chris Clermont (junior-psychology) and vice presidential candidate Shahida Shahrir (junior-biology) have never served on USG, but these friends since freshman year look forward to bringing a new voice to the campus's ruling body, Clermont said.
Ian Rosenberger (senior-special education and animal science) and Takkeem Morgan (junior-sociology and African and African American studies) want to bring a fresh face to USG.
David Davis (junior-journalism and speech communications) and Sara Ryan (sophomore-political science) said their experience within USG and outside of it makes them qualified to lead the executive branch.
Sandip Trivedi (sophomore-chemical engineering) and Anup Misra (sophomore-computer science and math) said their single campaign goal is to get tuition to the forefront of USG concerns.
Tim Dorman and Robyn Ricketts said they have more internal experience in USG than other tickets. Using this experience, they want to help students embrace USG.
Steven Weiss (junior-media studies and American studies) and Mike Aiello (junior-political science) said students deserve to have an education devoid of corporate influences.
D. Joshua Troxell (junior-chemical engineering) was re-elected Undergraduate Student Government (USG) Academic Assembly president last night.

Perfection can be defined as the highest attainable state or degree of excellence. Losing is never easy to deal with, but it is how a team deals with a loss that can dictate whether it will be resilient, or crumble under the pressure of disappointment. Two straight seasons have resulted in two straight Sweet 16 appearances, and a second straight disappointing finish. The Penn State men's swimming and diving team could not duplicate or better its program-best 15th-place finish, which the team accomplished last year, this past weekend at the NCAA Championships in Austin, Texas. The Penn State club tennis team returned to State College on Sunday night after its first-ever trip to the Nationals in Daytona Beach, Fla. The team did not qualify for the gold or silver brackets, but it continued play in the bronze bracket.
Penn State men's lacrosse freshman Nate Whitaker and sophomore Will Jones earned ECAC Player of the Week honors for the first time this season. Both players earned the distinction after their performances in the Penn State upset over No.7 Massachusetts. This is the first time this year a Nittany Lion has been named ECAC Player of the Week. The Penn State equestrian team placed first on Sunday at the final show of the regular season at West Virginia. With its showing, Penn State won the region by an accumulated 72 points, which qualifies for Regionals and Zones. The Penn State baseball team's home opener, scheduled for 1 p.m. today, has been canceled due to the weekend's snowfall.

Exceptional students at Cairo University in Egypt can now participate in an animal sciences program that includes two years of study at Penn State. It has been nearly 10 years since Penn State astrophysicist Tom Abel started his research on the early evolution of the universe, and his efforts have recently revealed how the first cosmological objects were formed. Today is the first day of April, and the phrase "April showers bring May flowers" warns students of a wet month ahead. Penn State researchers have found that black holes may be fussier eaters than previously thought. As students were getting used to T-shirts and sunny skies, Jack Frost returned this weekend for one last blast of winter.
