As Michael Robinson prepares to make his first career start at quarterback for the Penn State football team, Zack Mills is just beginning to move his leg again. Penn State women's volleyball coach Russ Rose said it once, and he'll say it again: the Big Ten women' volleyball season is a marathon, not a sprint. Being a freshman isn't easy. Just about every other word Buffy Baker says ends with an "er." Wisconsin running back Anthony Davis left in the first quarter of the game with UNLV after injuring his ankle. He hasn't played in the last two games against neither North Carolina nor Illinois. The vibrant atmosphere of the Crowbar on Monday night exceeded that of a typical State College bar. The James Madison Invitational win last season was symbolic of what the Penn State men's golf team will most likely not be doing this year -- shattering records and running away from its competition. Penn State wideout Tony Johnson said he faked a leg injury on the team's final drive of a 20-14 loss to Minnesota last Saturday so the Nittany Lions wouldn't have to use a timeout. The phone rings. It's picked up on the other end. Members of the Penn State Athletics staff and Nittany and Lady Lion student-athletes will be among the participants in United Way's 10th Annual "Day of Caring" activities, which are set for today. The Penn State women's rugby team played a very physical game against Lock Haven last night. Lock Haven dominated the first two periods, scoring two tries and one conversion in the first period and another try in the second.

The three escaped prisoners, who often double as country music sensations, watch in terror as the Ku Klux Klan -- led by a mayoral candidate, his dwarf running mate and a Cycloptic Bible salesman -- performs a musical dance number before they attempt to lynch a musician who has recently sold his soul to the devil. Treat me nice. I'm homesick. After consecutive weeks of dabbling in the wacky (Young Frankenstein) and the neurotic (Sports Night) it is only logical that No Refund Theatre (NRT) would move to the absurd. The vehicle of this absurdity is a four-play festival this weekend featuring The Lesson, by Eugene Ionesco, and three short plays by Samuel Beckett. Complete with singing, dancing and almost 76 trombones, The Music Man kicks off a six-month tour at 7:30 tonight at Eisenhower Auditorium. State College finds its funny bone this weekend with the opening of Wisecrackers Comedy Club, located inside the Ramada Inn, 1450 S. Atherton St. From the outside, I wondered if I was making a wise dining decision. Seoul Garden, 129 Locust Lane, was not necessarily a dingy establishment, but its scant decorations certainly do not scream class to the passerby. The inside décor was slightly more reassuring, with adequate Asian vegetation sprucing up a cozy dining room. Are they punk? Are they pop? There's only one way to find out. Some libraries have book sales to supplement federal funding; others sell baked goods or hold raffles in hopes of raising funds to improve the library's service to the community. But, at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Beulah's Bar-B-Que, 114 S. Garner St., is hosting the first Rib-Eating Contest in support of the building project for the new Centre Region Public Library.

There's nothing quite like folk music, the genre of time-honored instrumentation. A distinct chill in the air and browning leaves appearing on the trees can only mean one thing - a new season of fall TV. She's an astronaut, a figure skater and a presidential candidate; Latina, African American and Asian. She saves the world in stilettos and in her spare time hits the malls and beaches by way of pink convertible. "Trust is essential in the game of life and death," Outlaws Theatre producer Justin Leahy said, referring to the drama troupe's upcoming show, PREY!
