This is the true story of a guy and a girl who were picked to live in a house with five other strangers to find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real. Yes, Ace and Mallory from the Real World Paris were in State College. They were sitting at The Deli Restaurant, 113 Hiester St., dressed comfortably and casually, Ace in jeans and a Georgia Southern University hat, and Mallory in a sporty sweatshirt and jeans. Ace ordered a Philly cheesesteak and Coke, while Mallory chose an Asian grilled duck salad. The pair could be mistaken for two old friends taking a break between classes to enjoy a quiet lunch.

He has done it all for the Wildcats, despite not always liking what he has been asked to do. After winning its sixth-straight regular season conference title, you would think that the Penn State women's soccer team has established itself as the sole untouchable squad in the Big Ten. Once again, the Penn State women's soccer team has dominated conference play and earned the No. 1 seed in the 2003 Big Ten Tournament that starts today in Madison, Wis. In any end of the season do-or-die, winner-take-all, don't-quit-until-the-final-buzzer-sounds, kind of tournament, one can expect to see individuals stepping up everywhere to help their team pull of the big win, or clinch the exciting upset. Throw it all away. Northwestern a homecoming for some Turns out playing Villanova wasn't quite as easy as sophomore midfielder Brian Devlin thought it was. The Penn State offense can finally be proud, sort of. Coming into this season, Ashley Pederson knew that she had some big shoes to fill. 
Continued USG resignations hurt student democracy My Opinion: Andrew Criado Letters to the editor
Punk rock will invade Crowbar, 420 E. College Ave., once again on Wednesday when the Vans Off the Wall Club Tour comes to town. If you're feeling funky and maybe a bit frisky, jam band Particle will seek to provide the perfect outlet for all that pent-up aggression at Crowbar, 420 E. College Ave., Tuesday night with its self-described style of, get this, "space porn." This year, The Daily Collegian, is starting to give the readers a chance to spout off on their artistic choices of the year. One band is a Skellerpalooza quasi-virgin. Mother Nature refused to let the second perform in September. The third band has been around the Skellerpalooza block a few times. Making its first appearance in Pennsylvania, the Cape Breton (Canada) band, Beòlach will be performing in State College this weekend. Whether you are still on a high from The Matrix Revolutions or are somewhat reluctant to wait impatiently along Calder Way for an hour and a half behind the rest of the student body, there's a good chance that all you Matrix-lovers will be hungry for something else to satiate your philosophical sci-fi action flick fix this weekend. I kept hearing about Elliott; about how he'd finally kicked the heroin for good, then about how maybe he was back on, how the new record was going to be his masterwork, orchestral like XO but stripped bare like Roman Candle. There was a single for "Pretty (Ugly Before)," but it was a limited-issue, and I figured I could just wait for the album. I never once thought he wouldn't get to finish it. Melissa Ferrick gives off that long-lost best friend vibe. Never fear, the Alexander String Quartet is here. What the simple name lacks in creativity and abundance, The Deli, 113 Hiester St., more than compensates for in menu and atmosphere. Every Thursday, the members of Something Fluid come to The Darkhorse Tavern, 128 E. College Ave., hoping to make the crowd as much a part of the show as they are. While Outlaws Theatre often deals with the absurd and the out of the ordinary, this week's show plans to bring things down to Earth a little. Penn Staters can check out the drama One Quick Fix at 11:15 tonight at the usual Outlaws time and place, in 6 Arts Building. This weekend, No Refund Theatre (NRT) is offering big laughs; thinking is not required. Brothers Past will perform an eclectic blend of electronic and jam band music with opening act Alchemy at 9:30 tonight at The Brewery, 223 E. Beaver Ave. Back in 1994, Granola Funk Express (GFE) wasn't the funky hip-hop/folk rock jam band that it is today. Happy Tree Friends is pretty much your standard kids' animation show with cuddly animals walking upright and smiling happily in the sunshine. There's nothing like a photograph to tell the story of a weekend that would otherwise be forgotten once sobriety sets in. While most pictures paint a thousand words, drunken pictures usually paint lots of laughs, at least to an alarming number of college students.
