For a Penn State freshman, there are plenty of causes for worry. Finding the classrooms, balancing new work and adjusting to a new school are all obstacles that most freshmen face. Doublemint gum should look no further than the Penn State starting rotation to find its next spokes-chewers. On the track, there is the glitz and glamour of the 4x400-meter relay -- the fast, furious sprints and the gritty distance runners. Getting back to work may be the least of the NHL's problems. The Penn State men's basketball team snapped a streak last night -- Michigan's 10-game losing stretch, that is. The Penn State women's golf team finished the Puerto Rico Lady Classic in Dorado, Puerto Rico, yesterday, taking last in the 14-team field.

Officials, black leaders should take care not to just repeat the Village My Opinion: Jessica Dellen Letters to the editor
No Refund Theatre (NRT) displays the concept of not judging a book by its cover in this weekend's performance of The Elephant Man at 8 p.m. tomorrow and Saturday in 111 Forum. Best known for its popular tunes such as "Summertime" and "Ain't Necessarily So," Porgy and Bess is considered by many to be acclaimed songwriter George Gershwin's greatest accomplishment -- it combined opera and Broadway musicals into one genre. Despite being shunned by mainstream rock magazines and MTV, Jacksonville, Fla. alt-metal band Shinedown has managed to sell over 600,000 copies of its major label debut album, Leave a Whisper. In the tradition of Live and Fuel, Pennsylvania has spawned yet another successful alternative rock band in Wilkes Barre's Breaking Benjamin, which will kick off its 2005 tour at 9 p.m. Tuesday at Crowbar, 420 E. College Ave. Ahh -- SI swimsuit edition, Victoria's Secret Swim -- what a glorious time to be carrying a little extra flub. It's that time of the year when the winter weather cannot decide what it wants to do. Snow? Rain? Sun? Sleet? It can all happen at once leaving you inside your apartment or dorm waiting out the weather. Sometime during the middle of this past summer, I was perusing the assorted DVDs at the local Best Buy when I came across a special double-pack. Katsu, a local bar band that has been rocking State College for years, is something of a paradox. Players Nite Club has two turntables and a microphone and, very much like Beck, has aspirations to get the crowd on its feet and dancing. Who doesn't like something free? Best Trailer There is no such thing as a free lunch. Most Happy Valley bars, at least the ones we students frequent, aren't so conducive to swanky cocktail consumption. Even though they'd certainly whip up a prissy drink at a patron's request, that patron would end up looking like an arrogant tool dangling a martini glass between his fingers amidst the dollar pitchers and rum and Cokes. Started in 1995 by 10 young Australian guys who liked to sing, The Ten Tenors has since grown into an international touring group. Christian rock singer Michael W. Smith will be performing at 7:30 p.m. on May 12 at the Bryce Jordan Center. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at the Bryce Jordan Center, Eisenhower Auditorium, Downtown Theatre and by calling 1-800-863-3336. Prices for the tickets are $35.50 and $30.50. Allen Street Grill, 100 W. College Ave., will feature Bill Filer and Magic Hat beer. Specials include $1 Miller Lite drafts and happy hour from 10 p.m. to midnight with half-priced well liquor (231-4745). Feature Photo
