It took 12 years for the Penn State men's gymnastics team to win its first Big Ten team championship in 2003. However, if it hopes to repeat the monumental feat this year, it needs to be prepared to face some of the stiffest competition in the country. The last time a Penn State wrestler competed in St. Louis' Savvis Center, he won a national championship. His name was Jermey Hunter and in his final match as a collegiate wrestler, he took home the NCAA title at 125 pounds in 2000. Substitutions are irrelevant. Jess Strom is going for the steal. All season, any conversation of more than five minutes with Penn State women's swimming and diving coach Bill Dorenkott inevitably sounded something like this. Even if Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers and those that support paying college athletes get the NCAA to buy their philosophical argument, there's still another major hurdle they have to jump. Senior Leigh Ann Merryman garnered Big Ten Women’s Tennis Athlete of the Week honors this week after a superb performance during Penn State’s spring break trip to Florida. My Opinion: Jenny Vrentas 
Proposed gun law ridiculous, pays lip service to large issue My Opinion: Kris Ankarlo Letters to the editor
The Acoustic Brew concert series will bring back one of its most popular performers Saturday and give interested audience members a chance to learn a little bit about his talent. After a year off, Penn State's chapter of the International Association of Jazz Educators returns with its 2004 Jazz Festival, starting Friday and swingin' through Saturday night. Penn State students and faculty will bring variety and diversity, originality and music to campus with Musica Nova at 8 p.m. Saturday. Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado is a story of romance, confusion and ridiculous humor. Drive-Thru Records fans will have a second chance to catch The Early November and three other pop-punk bands in State College next week. Arthur Miller's wartime drama All My Sons isn't exactly one of his most popular or well-known plays. Intimate Purlieus, an exhibit featuring minute reproductions of landscapes, opened Tuesday at the Palmer Museum of Art and will run through Aug. 8. The Pennsylvania Centre Orchestra (PCO) will present its annual Up Close and Personal concert at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 780 Waupelani Drive. With a controversial plot that keeps audiences on their toes, Stop Kiss hopes to shed a new light on life for Penn State students. Tar Beach's uniquely brewed, genre-spanning music is like a good ol' potluck stew -- a heap of tasty but random ingredients thrown into a pot and given a healthy stir, yielding one delicious, multi-flavored concoction. When Jerry Garcia died eight years ago, most people thought the Grateful Dead would die with him. But the Chicago-based Dark Star Orchestra (DSO) has re-awakened the Dead through its true-to-life performances of actual shows from the past. The band will perform 10 p.m. Saturday at Crowbar, 420 E. College Ave. My bank called last week to say I owed them money, so taking my sister out for a birthday dinner was pretty low on my priority list. Country singer Kenny Chesney comes to the Bryce Jordan Center 7:30 p.m., Friday, April 30. Sean Penn won the best actor Oscar this year for his searing portrayal of grieving father Jimmy Markum in Mystic River. If you've got 10 years, I've got a science project for you. Stick a tape in your VCR, record an hour of BET (preferably the show with the computer-generated hostess, if that's still on), pull out the tape and set it out in the sun. Let it sit for a decade. Put it back in the VCR, and hit play. Quilts are often full of tradition, time, stories and warmth. They are functional as well as beautiful, and at the HUB-Robeson Center, they are unquestionably art. My Opinion: Jay Barimani
