WingTV.net is unlike any other TV station in State College.
The decision to offer on-campus housing to only underclassmen and transfer students for the 2004-2005 school year has angered students at Temple University and left some Penn Staters wondering if it could happen here.
Gov. Ed Rendell's proposed Keystone Innovation Zone plan passed the General Assembly Tuesday and, pending his signature, will soon be passed into law in an effort to keep students from seeking jobs outside Pennsylvania upon graduation.
Despite the freezing temperatures, snow and ice, students are still looking to satisfy their sweet tooth cravings with some ice cream.
More than $2.5 billion is sitting in the federal treasury, waiting to be claimed by almost 2 million taxpayers -- many of them students.
Michael A. Stein of State College was sentenced yesterday at Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte to four years and three months to eight years and six months in state prison and a fine of $10,000 for the sale of heroin in the State College area.
A Bellefonte woman was charged yesterday with 27 counts total of theft, forgery, fraud and other charges for allegedly stealing more than $123,000 from her former employer, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).
Penn State is ranked as the most underrated and 15th best national university, according to Carnegie Communication's Project Connect 2003 College Rankings Report.
A 21-year-old Bellefonte man was charged yesterday in connection with the sexual assault of an 8-year-old State College-area boy.
Chocolates and flowers may not be flying off the shelves yet, but local businesses and restaurants are steadily setting their sights on Saturday, anticipating one of the sweetest holidays.
With four cabs on the road and 10 to 15 more coming in the near future, the new A.A. Transit is helping to meet the demand for taxis in State College.
Although the University of Virginia recently instated an "Access UVa" plan to replace student loans with scholarships, Penn State officials say the university has already implemented a similar program.

Last night, the Intramural Wrestling Tournament wrapped up with Alpha Tau Omega stealing the fraternity title from ACACIA. New faces upset familiar ones while several returning wrestlers remained atop their weight class. The No. 1 Penn State ACHA Div. I Icers (28-2) could have their hands full this weekend as they welcome Robert Morris (17-16-3) to the Greenberg Ice Pavilion for their last home games of the season. This is what indoor track and field is all about. Great teams with great athletes competing on one of the best indoor track fields in the country. This is what the Penn State's men's track and field team will have at the Sykes-Sabock Challenge Cup that starts today and ends tomorrow. Great teams that will be participating include four teams that are ranked in the USTCA Team Power Rankings. Among those teams are No. 2 Michigan, No. 13 Cornell and No. 18 Ohio State. Rounding out the group are the Nittany Lions, who are ranked 10th. The Penn State men's lacrosse team will look to fine tune its play in its final exhibition match against Lehigh. The Nittany Lions will face off against the Mountain Hawks tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. in Holuba Hall with the regular season just one week away. March 23, 2001, a date the members of the No. 5 Penn State men's gymnastics squad will never forget. That night, the Nittany Lions narrowly lost the Big Ten Championship in Rec Hall to Ohio State in a meet that left the Lions anxious to prove they deserved to be champs. Tomorrow night in Rec Hall, the Penn State women's gymnastics team will try and return to its winning ways when it hosts the University of Minnesota in a double dual meet at 7 p.m. The Penn State boxing team has fought and won, but now comes the hard part. Ed DeChellis was getting sick of the same old story. Twenty-four games into her first season in Ann Arbor, Michigan women's basketball coach Cheryl Burnett finally believes her young Wolverines are starting to turn the corner. On Dec. 10, 2000, the Penn State wrestling team won a pair of dual meets against Clarion and Navy to open the season. The matchup between Penn State's and Ohio State's club women's ice hockey programs this weekend will probably feature a lot of goals and a lot of tight play. No Canadians allowed. This weekend, young fencers from around the United States, and only the United States, will try to make an entire year's worth of qualifying pay off as they gather to compete in this year's Junior Olympics. The four-day tournament at the Cleveland Convention Center will feature some of the most elite fencers, including 10 Nittany Lions. The first big national tournament of the year pulls a lot of weight for the fencer's hopes of joining the U.S Junior National team. A trip to Columbus, Ohio, means a lot to any Penn State team, but for the women's tennis team this weekend is a chance to reverse the direction of their season. The difference between a 1-1 record and an 0-2 record may only be one game. However, the psychological impact for Penn State (0-1) men's tennis team due to that one tally in the win or loss column could be enormous. The season is on its final legs for the Penn State Ice Lions. This is the big one, folks. The Penn State women's track team gets its first taste of Big Ten action this weekend.

I like to think Incubus' "Megalomaniac," off the group's new album A Crow Left of the Murder, is about Scott Stapp. Miracle isn't about flag waving, tears and dreams. It's about a coach, his hockey team and a game. While the story of the 1980 U.S. hockey team was deemed a miracle at the time, the true miracle of this story is the ability of the director, Gavin O'Connor, to keep it focused on what it was -- a hockey game. Sequels suck. I liked Dude, Where's My Car? a bit more than I probably should've, but I'm certainly not banking on the follow-up to fare quite as well. Blues Brothers 2000? Don't get me started. Kenny Chesney's latest album, When the Sun Goes Down, could be viewed in one of two ways: A)"What a sappy CD," or B)"Thank God Kenny hasn't changed." Sometimes it takes an artist a little bit of time to come into his own. Love him or hate him, electronic artist Moby has managed to permeate himself into mainstream culture, thanks in part to his omnipresence in commercials, soundtracks and the like since the release of his multi-platinum album Play. It's Valentine's Day 1984. The Screaming Ducks break onto the Penn State music scene for the first time. The group's performance at the Brickhouse Tavern is the beginning of a legacy. On an early Monday morning at The Saloon, 101 Hiester St., Katsu is playing covers. But that doesn't mean the band has to like it. You might not be cool enough, but at least you don't have to be 21 to attend the all-ages Roustabout! tonight.
