The Thanksgiving holiday got a head start last night in downtown's Central Parklet, minus the turkey and mashed potatoes.

As part of Penn State's 150th birthday bash, the Sesquicentennial Games will kick off today in a series of events spanning three days, ranging from Olympic-like games to a talent show.

The nervous atmosphere and quiet talking gave way to the screams and cheers of new sorority members who received their bids last night at HUB Alumni Hall as part of Panhellenic Council's (PHC) Bid Day.

Tickets may still be available for tonight's Vote for Change concert, which starts at 6 p.m. at the Bryce Jordan Center.

Representatives from various student organizations are coming together to collaborate their efforts for social change on campus.

SPORTS

Sports in brief

This was a long and solemn march off the field.

When No. 1 Minnesota (13-1, 2-0 Big Ten) takes the court tomorrow night for its match at Penn State with its head held high, it won't be any statement of pride.

Chris Ganter was conflicted.

The story has been written, told and retold to the point where it gets the treatment of a Bambino-like curse.

There's always that one game in a season that people circle before any games are played.

After getting a chance to see most of the Eastern talent in its previous two meets, the Penn State men's cross country team will travel west to South Bend, Ind. to compete in the Adidas Notre Dame Invitational today at 3 p.m.

There are some teams who put way too much pressure on themselves. And then there is the Penn State women's cross-country team, who gives new meaning to the word.

As soon as the Penn State Men's Tennis Team defeated Rutgers University in doubles play last weekend, it looked forward to its next opponent.

Let the good times roll.

The Penn State Lady Icers have been chomping at the bit to return to the ice since their strong performance at the end-of-season ACHA national tournament in March.

When a team only gets to play one game a year on their own course, the pressure increases but the degree of excitement rises too.

It is rare in college sports for the two best players at a position to play against one another. But it is a very special occasion when they do.

Hilary Duff doesn't want me to buy her record, and I'm OK with that.

So you're an accountant who's bored with life, in need of some serious change and married to Susan Sarandon to boot.

Oh, my.
