There was no snow this time. No snow, no hail and nothing to stop the Penn State women's soccer team from playing West Virginia this season. Insight into the 2003 Penn State football team is a hot commodity these days. When he scored the second of his three goals on Sunday, Michigan forward and Bronx native Knox Cameron held nothing back in his celebration. In 2002, Tracey Brauksieck lead the Penn State women's cross country team throughout the season. She was the number one finisher in every single race. Brauksieck grabbed 10th place honors at the Big Ten Championships. And she helped earn Penn State team its' first trip to the NCAA Championships since 1996. Hard work went unrewarded for Penn State's club water polo team, with a 10-8 loss to Villanova in the final of the Mid-Atlantic Division Championships over the weekend. For the ample reasons the Penn State football team has to forget its trip to Iowa on Saturday, Yaacov Yisrael says he's sure he'll remember the 26-14 loss for a long time. Though he didn't play until the third quarter and touched the ball only five times, Austin Scott was arguably the most distinct offensive threat for the Penn State football team on Saturday. If adversity brings out a player's true colors, then consider the No. 1 Penn State ACHA Div. I Icers' goaltending situation a prime example. Being photographed at campus parties kissing co-eds. Admissions violations. Paying athletes when scholarships run out. Complex recruiting cover-ups relating to a player's death. The Big Ten's women's basketball coaches have tabbed Penn State as the preseason League favorite for the 2003-04 women's basketball season, while Purdue was selected as the preseason front-runner by members of the Big Ten media.
ESPN2 will televise Penn State's Big Ten clash at Northwestern on Saturday, November 8 to a national audience. Kickoff has been set for 11:00 a.m. CT/12:00 p.m. ET at Ryan Field in Evanston, Ill.

Proposed federal tuition bill not the right way to help students My Opinion: Mary Ann Zimmerman Letters to the editor
Many students assume they need to use a Microsoft Windows-based computer while in campus labs. Machines made by Apple Computer, coupled with a new operating system, however, present an alternative for those looking to try something different. "Just let him sleep it off." It can happen when you see someone else doing it. And sometimes, just reading about it is enough to trigger the response. You may be doing it right now. Indeed, yawning is very contagious. No matter how hard you study to earn good grades, learning disabilities may be in your genes. My Opinion: Emily Gelsomin 
Planet 22 has seen different members come and go, only to return again, since the band started playing in 1996, but the four-member core group is still creating its unique tunes and ready for whatever, or whomever, comes to them. The actual location is a languid, somewhat crammed alcove of Webster's Bookstore Café, 128 S. Allen St., but the worlds explored within are as colorful and expansive as the human imagination.
