NEWS

It's the weekend, and Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Centre County is taking a group trip to the State College YMCA for an afternoon of swimming, air hockey, rock wall climbing and more. Calls of "Marco" and "Polo" echo through the indoor pool while a furious game of foosball ensues next door in the activity room.

Former Undergraduate Student Government (USG) Academic Assembly President D. Josh Troxell announced yesterday his candidacy for mayor of State College.

Tonight Raymond Alvarez will be fighting for the green team -- and a cure for pediatric cancer.

Columbia University graduate-turned-comedian Steve Hofstetter is on a quest to have more friends on Thefacebook than you, and Penn Staters are helping.

The Downtown Improvement District (DID) Board of Directors will meet today to discuss the next step in the "mixed-use" development on the corner of Fraser Street and Beaver Avenue.

The State College Zoning Hearing Board decided in a 2-1 vote Monday against the construction of a Catholic student center on the 100 block of East Park Avenue, citing a zoning stipulation.

Some students agree that although Monday's night's Undergraduate Student Government (USG) Academic Assembly diversity roundtable discussion was helpful, it was lacking group representation and student input.

SPORTS

The No. 19 Penn State wrestling team honored six seniors in its last match of the season at Rec Hall with a 34-13 drubbing of Lock Haven last night.

If there was ever a time for the Penn State men's basketball team to break out of its conference road-losing funk, tonight may be it.

It seems appropriate that his doctor detected abnormally long arms when Geary Claxton was in his mother's womb.

The Penn State women's basketball team's unraveling at the hands of Purdue on Sunday afternoon exposed some big holes in the Lady Lions' preparations: without Tanisha Wright, Penn State's offense suffers big time.

It's been hard enough for No. 25 Penn State (14-8, 9-2 Big Ten) to win on the road this season, but take away one of the two essential ingredients, and it's like trying to swim without using your arms or legs.

While most middle-aged men were traveling to Florida to golf, John Surma and John Grainda made a visit to blustery State College with hockey sticks.

It wasn't difficult to pick out John Dufford in Saturday's alumni game -- he was the 83-year-old wearing the leather helmet.

Matt Proper made a visit to a Massachusetts hospital last Friday evening after a Penn State victory against 3-0 Springfield. The junior opposite from Guys Mills wasn't in that emergency room because of his thumb injury, which had recently stopped bothering him.
