Instead of carrying out a formal trial, the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) Supreme Court decided it would issue a summary judgment on a case in which Senate President Erin Ferris was accused of violating USG Senate bylaws.
Gov. Ed Rendell has proposed borrowing money to fund new state programs despite a projected tax surplus this coming year. The state projects up to $2.8 billion in loans for cleaning up the environment and boosting the economy.
Penn State students have a new classified Web site, much like eBay, to help with all buying and posting needs thanks to a student who, with the help of his brother, put his ideas to work.

Although Justin Brumbaugh is leaving his 1997 GMC Sonoma truck behind this summer, he isn't upset.
Students might find several new additions to neighborhood streets next fall in response to campus groups' concerns about downtown safety.

With Sister Hazel serving as pre-show music (yeah, that's about right), last night's "Evening with Train" at Bryce Jordan Center began with a very special cover of Supertramp's "Give a Little Bit." Singer Pat Monahan, it should be mentioned, kept looking at a lyric sheet for the song, which, honestly, doesn't have all that many words. Also, don't people usually stand at rock shows?

Is it a battle of David vs. Goliath? There was a time when a high school boy didn't know which way to turn. Penn State All-America running back Lydell Mitchell was elected yesterday to the Div. I College Football Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2004. While there will be many new faces, like those of freshmen Matt Cavagnaro and Jim Leitgeb, on the diamond today for the Penn State baseball team, there will be a very familiar face on the mound -- Clayton Hamilton. Having two shots at home tonight to improve its season record, the Penn State women's softball team hopes it can inch back toward .500 with a doubleheader against St. Francis (Pa.).

As a senior in high school, he had no recognition of Penn State, let alone consider it a place to continue his athletic career and further his education. The Penn State club lacrosse team traveled to the University of Maryland for a tournament held April 2-3, only to have Navy sink the team's hopes. Going 0-5 on the weekend has forced Penn State to assess where it is before the national tournament begins later this month. Hip-Hop icon P. Diddy ran the standard 26.2-mile New York City marathon last fall to raise money for charity. Imagine sleeping in your car, waking up at 5 a.m., devouring a bagel with cream cheese and running a race that surpasses the equivalent of three standard marathons combined -- and still not reaching your goal.
PSU tournament hopes alive
All season, the seemingly cursed No. 18 Penn State women's lacrosse team (2-8) has been chasing a white rabbit. Every game it gets away by one goal.

Jason McIntyre will perform at 10 p.m. at Allen Street Grill, 100 W. College Ave. (231-4745) On his group's unreleased song "Radon Home Test Kit," Bullet Parade singer Jeff Van Fossan laments, "I've found the underground is bound to let you down." Don't ever label the guys of Camera, one of Pittsburgh's hailing underground pop bands, as simply Brit-pop or mod.
