Penn State President Graham Spanier said Penn State's proposed 2005-2006 state appropriation of $324.2 million will not stop the university's lobbying efforts to garner additional funds.
The number of acts of intolerance reported at Penn State has risen from 20 to 34, as reported in the fall 2004 Bias Motivated Incidents Report.
Letters of hope
Who needs razors?
With Gov. Ed Rendell's pledge to increase financial support for public transportation systems, Centre Area Transportation Authority (CATA) officials are hoping they won't have to cut services.
At a lecture sponsored by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allied (LGBTA) community last night, speaker Bruce Smail asked the audience an ambiguous question: "What is identity?"
Dozens of firefighters from three area fire companies responded last night to an intense house fire on the 100 block of Aberdeen Lane.
For the past three weeks, poor attendance records have plagued Undergraduate Student Government (USG) Senate committees.
While giving up anything for a month seems almost impossible, many students are planning to put their daily routines on hold for the next 40 days.
They may have graduated, but some Penn State alumni have yet to hang up their dancing shoes.
It is a saying of a man that has been heard all over campuses nationwide.
Imagine walking to class, when suddenly a robot zooms by you with about a dozen others close behind.

The Penn State men's basketball team had its confidence shattered once again on Wednesday after another 20-point loss on the road in the Big Ten. The Nittany Lions (7-15, 1-8 Big Ten) will have to pick up the pieces before tomorrow's matchup with Ohio State (16-8, 5-5) -- a job that is getting harder and harder to do, especially early in games. In what conceivably will be the final bona fide tune-up before the ACHA National Tournament, the No. 2 Penn State ACHA Division I Icers will travel to No. 4 Illinois this weekend for a two-game set. It doesn't always matter how you win, as long as you get the win. The Penn State men's volleyball team is riding a wave of momentum into this weekend's Penn State Invitational. Penn State wrestling will face the biggest test of its Big Ten schedule this weekend when No. 2 Illinois and No. 17 Northwestern square off with the Nittany Lions. Some people would be scared sick by the sight of the No. 6 Michigan women's track team. Penn State's team is sick, but not because of Michigan. The Penn State men's track team will use this weekend's Sykes-Sabok Challenge Cup track meet at the Multi-Sport Facility to build toward the Big Ten Championships at the end of February. Despite winning its last two competitions, Penn State looked to improve on its individual problems this week in practice. But it isn't the bars, the vault, or even the beam that senior captain Kate Stopper says is the women's gymnastics team's biggest problem. It's confidence. Toughness is not something most people usually associate with tennis. But that is just what the No. 61 Penn State men's tennis team (10-1) will need this weekend, when it will play three matches over the course of two days, including a doubleheader tomorrow. Practice had just ended and there was sweat dripping all over the floor. Buck Kicinski has never sucked on a lime for four hours, turned it around and sucked on it for another three. After winning 57 games the past two seasons and losing just as many, the Penn State baseball team heads into 2005 looking to move from the middle of the seesaw and tip it in the winning direction.

Throughout the weeks preceding the grandiose celebration of love, audiences expect the release of dime-a-dozen but enjoyable love stories that won't interrupt the tumult of the awards season. No one was happier about the break-up of Creed, the king of all pretentious rock bands, than the genre's proverbial prince, 3 Doors Down. A paranoid CIA operative. His loving wife. A talking German goldfish with a primal urge to get "unten und schmutzig" with said CIA operative's loving wife. After Ben Kweller's utterly crappy sophomore album, you might be looking for some nice, sanitized pop-rock that doesn't blow, and if it's by some short, skinny dude who shares the "Ben" name and demeanor, gee, all the merrier. It would be very easy to throw Halifax into the pop-punk landfill that record labels have been dumping bands into for the past few years, especially considering the band just re-released it's originally independently released E.P., A Writer's Reference on Drive-Thru Records, a pop-punk breeding ground. Most of Boogeyman consists of 7th Heaven star Barry Watson walking around, thinking about opening doors. He has had a closet case of closet-a-phobia, you see, ever since his dad was eaten by a closet, or by the Boogeyman who lives in the closet and under the bed. So, ever since that fateful day, Barry's been afraid of closets, as his incongruously hot girlfriend (Emily Deschanel) discovers when she asks him to get her coat and he becomes petrified with fear. While the oldest song most of us know about or can sing is about 80 years old, The Orlando Consort specializes in singing music that is 700 years old. Allen Street Grill, 100 W. College Ave., will feature Bill Filer and Magick Hat beer (231-4745).
