NEWS

The peace movement is, in essence, a pro-war movement with a goal to disarm free, civilized nations and to leave them helpless, said a syndicated columnist last night.

While local legislators are working to change the law that closed many under-21 events in State College, an upcoming state Senate bill may contain an amendment that would keep mixed-ages nights from returning to State College.

Students are helping out in the community by completing more than 31 service projects this week as part of Penn State's first Promise Week, which started Sunday.

Frank P. Smeal, the Wall Street executive whose $10 million donation in 1989 was the largest individual gift to Penn State at the time, died Tuesday after a lengthy illness at his home in Rumson, N.J., the university said. He was 84.

Troy K. Childers, 22, of 207 Rosa Lane, will face a pleas and sentencing hearing at 9 a.m. today in the Centre County Courthouse, Bellefonte. He is charged with aggravated assault, criminal trespass, aggravated harassment by prisoner and two counts of criminal mischief.

A Penn State student had his preliminary hearing continued until April 23 yesterday in Centre County Courthouse, Bellefonte.

Four Penn State students faced their preliminary hearings yesterday in Centre County Court, Bellefonte.

Karl R. Raghina, 19, waived his preliminary hearing yesterday in Centre County Courthouse, Bellefonte.


SPORTS

If there's one word that can be consistently heard about women's golfer Katie Futcher, it's consistency.

It seems almost like a cruel trick, an unfortunate twist of fate.

Most sports have a unique apparatus that is used on an athlete's hand.

Sometimes success isn't measured in championship hardware, but rather in the improvement that a team makes from the previous year.

Letters to the editor
ARTS

Last night at the Bryce Jordan Center, there was a revolution. It was the kind of revolution at which parents could drop off their angsty high-school kids and wait for 2 hours until it was done. It was the Projekt Revolution tour.

Twelve bands, three slots and a whole lot of noise.

It was obvious from a young age that Jermaine Hardy (senior-media studies) surged with creative energy. At the age of five, he taught himself how to play turntables. By the age of seven, he was DJing parties in his local Brooklyn community.

Yale University junior Danny, the protagonist of Tom Perrotta's Joe College, lives in two very different worlds. One is the worldly Ivy League school, where future CEOs and world leaders intermingle and read Whitman and Milton in between bong hits. And the other, his blue-collar New Jersey town, is where he spends his breaks selling sandwiches from his father's lunch trunk. When he is not driving the lunch truck back home, he spends time with his faithful, clingy girlfriend, Cindy, a working-class girl who is more street smart than book smart.

It's hard to describe a singer like him. He's like the guy you might have seen on TV, the friend you might have had in high school, or the musician on the corner you might have stopped to hear.

Let's get one thing straight before I get too carried away with this review. War is not a joke and war is not a game. But war is certainly worth analyzing when the objectives of one of the most classic war video games are more clear-cut than the wars of the reality we live in.

Jazz-fusion quartet Schleigho is looking forward to returning to State College tonight, when they grace the stage at The Brewery for the second time this semester.

Thirteen Indian graduate students will celebrate their interest in music and raise funds for the Association for India's Development (AID) during a benefit concert Saturday night at State College Area High School, 653 Westerly Parkway.

After learning that Centre House, 217 E. Nittany Ave., relies on private donations for 40 percent of its operating budget, local musician Richard Wylie decided to do something to help the cause.

An evening of opera will be presented on campus at 8 p.m. tomorrow and Saturday in Esber Recital Hall, Music Building I.

Going crazy from writing never-ending term papers? Feeling a bit loony after pulling that all-night cram session?

Tapestry, The Penn State Tap Company, will have its spring showcase Saturday.


WEATHER

Clouds and sun. High 49.
