The sideline was his position on the football field for the first three games of the year. For Indiana, it's always been a struggle. For the Penn State women's cross country team, the seasonal emphasis remained mostly on what could be achieved at the Big Ten Championships. But now that the main event is over, the team's top nine runners have to get set to run again and shift their focus to the NCAA Regional II Championships this weekend. This is supposed to be a preview for the Big Ten men's soccer tournament. What a long strange trip it's been. And it keeps getting stranger for one Penn State football player. When it comes to collegiate women's soccer, the sport begins and ends with the University of North Carolina. Out of the 22 NCAA Tournaments that have been held, the Tar Heels have won an astounding 17 of them, when no other team has captured more than one. Ask senior Curtiss Patrick if he prefers boxers or briefs, and he'll say purple thongs. My Opinion: Chris Korman 
Survey could improve students' relationship with leaders My Opinion: Andrew Criado Letters to the editor
Rocking out to some good music is a surefire way to remedy a bad case of the Mondays, but rocking out for a good cause is an even better cure. This year, The Daily Collegian is giving the readers a chance to have thier voices heard on their favorite artistic choices of the year. It's time for some surprising trans-Atlantic musical stylings. A party jam band and some reggae-funk rockers? Okay, makes sense. But throwing pop nü-metal into the mix? That's just weird. Then again, so is Alien Ant Farm. Though they might seem like tomorrow night's odd men out, when these southern California smooth criminals roll into town, the rock might be too loud to even notice. Volé ballet student club will hold its semi-annual performance this weekend. Most bands assemble, toil over an album or two and disintegrate in true Behind the Music form. Of A Revolution (O.A.R.) is coming to the Bryce Jordan Center with the tour headlined by 311. Attention haters: the Cold Stone Creamery, 321 E. Beaver Ave., has come to town to melt your stone-cold little hearts. The wind pushes your bouldering feet up the mountain. The breathtaking view behind you gives you breath and spurs you up the mountain face. You are supremely wowed by God's creation. Just when you think it couldn't get any better, you notice a glint of metal at the summit. The pastoral peace is soon curtailed by obnoxious car horns and snacking auto hikers. Back-stabbing diamond thieves in England have absolutely nothing to do with Penn State. Which is one of many reasons to take a break and rent A Fish Called Wanda. It's a highly provocative show about sex, intimacy and truth complete with a scene in a strip club, partial female nudity and a warning to those under 18. It's been called the most complete Shakespearean comedy written. Thanksgiving isn't complete without a few basic, necessities: turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and, of course, a painfully dysfunctional family. Penn Staters looking to get a jump-start on holiday hell can check out The House of Yes this weekend at the Pavilion Theatre. Mention the word "free" on any campus and there will be a stampede. Free samples, free trials -- if it's free, it's marketable. Since spring break last year, Abba Java House, 256 E. College Ave., has been serving complimentary hot drinks and food to college students. Penn State will be visited by Grammy Award-winning singer Cassandra Wilson at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Eisenhower Auditorium.
This weekend, Tut's tomb is much more than a card game when Theatreworks/USA, the traveling children's theater group, brings the production The Mystery of King Tut to Eisenhower Auditorium.
