Since the 1890s, the Penn Relays have been part of collegiate track and field competition. It's been a month. Brian Mabry took a risk when he decided to attend Penn State. Penn State women's track coach Beth Alford-Sullivan announced late Tuesday that another high school track superstar will be donning blue and white come fall. Gayle Hunter of John W. North High School in Riverside, Calif., has signed a national letter of intent to come to Penn State. As the two teams sat at opposite ends of the field during halftime, Penn State goalie Lee Tortorelli trotted back toward her goal. Tanisha Wright didn't come out and say it explicitly, but it was there in her words. The entire Penn State women's lacrosse team stormed toward the middle of Jeffrey Field and celebrated. The 110th incarnation of the Penn Relays, the oldest, biggest and greatest relay carnival in the world, kicks off today with its usual pomp and circumstance. Not the actual song of graduation procession fame -- the meet usually begins with the obligatory National Anthem -- but parading, hoopla and such. Sophomore men’s volleyball player Nate Meerstein has been named the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA) Division I/II Player of the Week, league officials announced.

Promise Week provides opening for greater community climate My Opinion: Matt Eyer Letters to the editor
Shakespeare in the Courtyard will bring students the opportunity to enjoy Aristaphones' play Lysistrata in an outdoor setting today and tomorrow at 5 p.m. in the Atherton Courtyard. The Punisher, the latest in an assembly line of tepid Hollywood adaptations of otherwise respectable Marvel comic book series, stars Thomas Jane (who?) as the ruthless vigilante and John Travolta (who else?) as a sinister, chatty villain. What a quiet chameleon Beck is. This Saturday afternoon, a classic tale with a modern twist comes to the Playhouse Theatre in the Arts Building. All the better to entertain you with, my dear. The Jazz Mandolin Project (JMP) will return to Crowbar, 420 E. College Ave., this Wednesday with a finely tuned, distinctive and fuller sound. How come there's never a play simply about flowers? Hey, State College, we got us a big-time indie show. Forget heading to New York this weekend; there's a cheaper alternative to the performing arts in State College. The name may have changed, but the music's still the same, quoth the band formerly known as Nevermoure. Essence of Joy, a Penn State student gospel choir, will perform at 8 p.m. on Saturday in the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center. This year, some students will celebrate Blue-White weekend with a tradition older than the football team and even older than the Penn State Blue Band. Through simple logistics, the average college student can explain the hypothetically genius concept of living in an apartment above a bar. For college students, when thinking of the flute, the first thing that comes to mind might be Jethro Tull. Before our time, State College used to be a town that encouraged original music. After 2 a.m., there isn't much to do in this town. The bars are closed, the streets are empty and the police are cruising. If the future is an endless, two-dimensional flight through space, I'm so there. Well, the wait is over. After weeks of nail biting and quite a few unfounded rumors, Movin' On has a lineup. One owes inspiration to '70s hard rock. The other is named after a poisonous California wildflower. Reality shows have monitored all the different aspects of life: how people date, live together, survive and dress. However, the latest round of reality TV shows is taking the term makeover to a new level. Shows like I Want A Famous Face and The Swan focus on people attempting to change their lives by getting plastic surgery.
