NEWS

Sometimes silence speaks louder than words.

In the most severe case, the winners of the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) presidential race could be disqualified because of potential elections code violations.

More than a year and a half since the World Trade Center attacks and amid a heated war with Iraq, Americans should take the time to re-examine the effectiveness of their country's foreign policy, said Daniel Lindsay, director of Why U.S.?, a documentary film.

Two bills being simultaneously proposed in the state Senate and House of Representatives could change the chaperone law that put an end to many all-ages shows and under-21 nights in State College.

With the weather becoming warmer, more students are riding their bikes. But some may not know the rules and regulations they have to follow.

The American flag is flying at half-staff outside Park Forest Elementary School, and inside, children are paying tribute to soldiers still in combat.

Beer drinkers in Pennsylvania may soon be spending more under a proposal in Gov. Ed Rendell's budget.

A Penn State student was arraigned on burglary charges yesterday stemming from a March 22 incident.

A State College man was arrested and charged with multiple counts of drug possession on March 25.

Two Undergraduate Student Government (USG) town senators filed suit against the body, claiming it improperly conducted a joint session of Congress and that approved legislation should be void.


SPORTS

The program that has had no passion has hired a man that is filled with it.

Smiles filled the Bryce Jordan Center's Founders Lounge yesterday as Ed DeChellis was announced as the man to save the Penn State men's basketball program from life support.

Every sports team goes into the season focusing on one goal, winning the championship. Penn State club crew is no different.

Winning three consecutive championships at any level is tough, but winning four puts you in elite company.

As the Penn State women's gymnasts practice their beam routines, a tall, slender assistant coach instructs them on every minute detail. While doing this, she runs over to the floor exercise and spots Leslie Bair as she practices one of her tumbling passes.

There will be no championships or tournament titles for the Penn State men's club soccer team this spring.

The baseball gods and Mother Nature certainly didn't give the Penn State baseball team any breaks.

Boxers looking for championship in Sin City

When the majority of your meets are on the road, the numbers game begins to catch up to you. The 50-plus women on the Penn State women's outdoor track team, limited by restrictions on the number of entrants, don't all get to compete in every meet.

When Dan Day was a child he wanted to be like Roberto Alomar.

Letters to the editor
ARTS

No childhood was complete without a Nintendo, let alone a sword-wielding hero named Link.

When Joseph Heller gained distinction for Catch-22 in 1961, he had already published several short stories.

The Coral is that hyperactive kid in high school who always forgot to take his Ritalin. Bouncing off the walls after lunch, knocking things over in a chaotic mess, then calming down for a brief five minutes.

College is a lot like Chuck E. Cheese's -- rowdy kids romp around unrestrained. Endless piles of greasy pizza are consumed hourly. And there are games galore, namely skee-ball.

Replace the props, sets and costumes of traditional productions with actors reading from scripts in a casual café atmosphere. This is the Next Stage Inc. readers' theater.

The fact that I couldn't find one friend to come with me to see The Core should've been a hint that I shouldn't see this movie. I have to admit, though, I'm a sucker for epic disaster flicks and this one scored high on that particular Richter scale.

If you heard a giant mechanical groan from the music industry recently, it might be from The Libertines. Because of Up the Bracket, the debut album from these London-based garage rockers, the hype machine is about to kick into full gear.

Almost three years after their multi-platinum debut, Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park returns with its second studio album Meteora.


WEATHER

Mostly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms. High 65.
