As Peter Cottontail hops down the bunny trail, many Penn State students will either follow him on their way home for Easter weekend or stay put in State College.

All-ages events and under-21 nights aren't the only activities being affected by Pennsylvania's new chaperone law. With a 5-1 minor-to-chaperone ratio, high school proms and formals are also in jeopardy.

With aspirations for creating a more unified student body, this year's Mr. and Ms. Asian Penn State hope to raise awareness about Asian-American culture.

Students planning to take summer courses close to home can now use a new Web site to find out if the credits they earn will transfer to Penn State.

Sprinkler systems may soon be added to fraternity houses if Centre County fire inspectors have their way.

For Mary Lou Retton, the first "door of opportunity" came when famed gymnastics coach Bela Karolyi wanted her to move to Houston to train at his gym.

Everyone knows about ketchup.


SPORTS

And so it begins.

For former Penn State students and current gridiron warriors Deborah Casiani, Rhonda Donahoo, Shelley Wain and Melissa Yeck, football has been a way of life. And who would expect anything less? They're from the Pittsburgh area.

It's easier than you think.

Pete. Pete. Pete ... what are you doing?

A 160-pound person is equal in weight to 853.3 typical packages of ramen noodles. If you ate one package per day, you could eat your weight in ramen noodles in 2.34 years.

Dave Buznik is probably the first Adam Sandler character in recent memory who actually doesn't need anger management therapy. Jack Nicholson, whose stardom has lasted so long precisely because of his buoyant charisma, has never played a character as utterly obnoxious as anger management therapist Dr. Buddy Rydell. These ironies at the center of Anger Management are not springboards for constant hilarity; rather, they make the audience angry at such careless miscasting.

Cave In is often classified as "alternative metal," an unfair label for a band that owes more to complicated progressive rock than cheesy, wailing guitars.

If the worlds of industrial goth and garage rock collided, the splitting atom would be the sound of the Raveonettes.


WEATHER

Cloudy with some scattered showers. High 52.
