The path to another Big Ten regular season title doesn't look as clear for the Penn State women's soccer team as it has in the past several years. Other teams in the country have made it work. Traditionally Joe Paterno looks to his upperclassmen for his leadership, but it may just be the underclassmen leading by example this season. For all the preseason hype and misdirection touting the Penn State football team's receiving corps, the Nittany Lions' obsession with throwing the ball was merely a passing fancy. For one Penn State women's tennis player it was a first step; for another it was a chance to start over. Though it won't make a dent in the loss column, the Penn State men's soccer team is not taking its lackluster performance against Indiana lightly. For a team that Penn State football coach Joe Paterno still calls young and inexperienced, play calling and execution can make all the difference. He knew exactly how he wanted to open the game.

Penn State researchers have shown that there is actually a way to eat the same amount of food you normally do and still lose weight. Laxatives in the food. Ice cream rejected by the FDA. Food poisoning. Rumors about dining commons food have circulated for years, the truth behind them unknown to students -- until now that is. Is there a cure to stress and the common cold? When students of Laurie Bonjo, operator of the Harmony Center Yoga and Body Arts, 103 E. Beaver Ave., come to her with different ailments, she can diagnose them using her knowledge of nursing. She then can create a sequence of yoga positions to ease symptoms of everything from stress to sinus congestion. Here at Penn State, bruised fruit and used napkins -- normally items found in the dumpster -- are being used to promote growth of richly colored flowers and healthy plants and shrubs. What weakened Hurricane Isabel before it reached State College? My Opinion: Emily Gelsomin 
George Oliphant looks tired. While showcases like Roustabout! and Skellerpalooza have snazzy names and bands from faraway lands like Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., local musicians still have places to show off their talent in downtown bars.
