A man could face simple assault charges after witnesses said he brandished a cellular phone like a gun in an altercation.

Four years ago, Chavous Nichols, then the Colorado State high school champion in the triple jump, received what must rank as one of the most persuasive recruiting pitches in the history of collegiate athletics. For the Penn State men's lacrosse team, it wasn't about playing on the road in what amounted to a must-win game. It wasn't about breaking down the Mount St. Mary's defensive and offensive schemes. It wasn't about finally living up to expectations that have slowly dwindled away. It was just about finally playing well. The scoreboard read 6-5 Penn State, but the body language of the players told the real story. Pitching coach Buck Kicinski had a mission for his Penn State baseball club pitchers going into this weekend. "We're going to Stanford!" The Penn State men's rugby team came into the weekend with not beating Ohio State in the last two seasons. The Penn State's men's golf team played two rounds of golf on Saturday. The Lions were the second worst team in the tournament after the first one. But thanks to recording the best second-round score in the 18-team field, they found themselves back amongst the leaders. The No. 63 Penn State men's tennis team's two matches this weekend were as different as night and day, black and white, even Dennis Rodman and Colin Powell. For any fan that expects an exciting softball game to entail loads of offensive production, Saturday's contest between the Penn State women's softball team and Northwestern would be sure to disappoint. When a team that is struggling with its hitting faces off against a team with a struggling pitching staff, one of the two forces is bound to break. For a team with its back to the wall, leadership, intensity, toughness and the desire to win are necessities. No player on the No. 63 Penn State men's tennis team demonstrated these qualities better than senior Roddy Cantey. Two years ago, John Ruhf hit .235 in 19 games as an infielder for the Penn State varsity baseball team. Every once and a while in a dynamic duo, the "sidekick" has to step up and take control of a situation. Sometimes Robin had to help Batman when he was in trouble. The droughts that the No. 18 Penn State (3-9, 1-2) women's lacrosse team is having this season would only be enjoyable for Noah and his ark. The Penn State's women's tennis team is seeing its season slip away, but it's also seeing itself improving and playing better tennis than it has all season. Penn State sprinter Connie Moore entered very elite company yesterday. The senior defeated five-time Olympic medalist Marion Jones in the 200-meter dash yesterday at the Mt. SAC Relays. In the end, they're nothing more than numbers to Joe Hindelang. This weekend the No. 7 Penn State men's volleyball team had the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde syndrome. It's only one practice. One out of 15 that will take place this spring, and with all other practices closed, one out of only two times the public or media get to see the team play this spring. Penn State football coach Joe Paterno released a statement Friday stating that the playing status of five players will be altered as a disciplinary action. As the WNBA draft commenced at noon on Saturday in Secaucus, N.J., Jess Brungo was nowhere near the NBA Entertainment centers. The senior forward was in Virginia at a family member's wedding. And besides, she never expected she would have a reason to be there for the draft anyway.

There are some people out there lucky enough to have always known what they want to do with their lives. Penn Stater Sarah Holgate (sophomore-piano performance and music education) is one of those people. Punky power-pop band Bowling for Soup has been announced to headline this weekend's Movin' On live music festival. The free, all-day concert will take place Saturday on the HUB lawn. No Refund Theatre (NRT) will hold auditions for its fall 2004 lineup today through Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Chambers Building lobby. The audition will consist of one monologue that will be provided.
