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.

SPORTS

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

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.

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.
