NEWS

CARLISLE -- Penn State will have two more months to continue its plans for a new law school at University Park after a Cumberland County judge ruled in its favor at a preliminary hearing last Friday.

The Penn State Sesquicentennial Committee is looking to leave a gift for future generations.

After warming up to "Milkshake" by Kelis and "Right Thurr" by Chingy, the Penn State International Dance Ensemble (PSIDE) rehearsed for its spring show by twirling Egyptian staffs and dancing with Chinese fans.

The results of a survey assessing the need for additional childcare at Penn State will not be available until March 24, about a month after its expected release.

Centre Area Transportation Authority's (CATA) Centre Line ridership decreased by 6.8 percent in the past year, while the Blue and White loops' and Red and Green links' ridership increased by 1.5 percent.

The recent decision to discontinue the American studies major at University Park is due to the reorganization of available resources in the College of the Liberal Arts.

As today marks the 73rd day of 2005, New Year's resolutions seem like a distant memory to most students.

A Julian, Pa., man has been charged in connection with the hit-and-run accident on Jan. 30 that killed a Park Forest resident on North Atherton Street who was walking home from work.

He doesn't own a pair of moon boots or know anyone named Pedro, but he sure looks like that guy from Napoleon Dynamite.

Bust out your dancing shoes. It's time to do the Chattanooga Choo-Choo.

Four Penn State students were killed and two were injured in two fatal weekend car accidents during the university's spring break.

SPORTS

Like the month of March itself, the No. 4 Penn State men's volleyball team began its trip to California by tearing through opponents like a lion, but was then sent home like a lamb.

Penn State wrestling headed to Iowa City, Iowa, March 5 and 6 for the Big Ten Tournament in hopes of sending all 10 Nittany Lions to the NCAA Championships later this week. Six made it through, with Eric Bradley defending his crown as the 184-pound Big Ten champion.

When looking to right the ship last week after its slightly disappointing 1-4 start, the Penn State softball team turned to the exuberance of its youth.

They came, they saw, they didn't quite conquer.

INDIANAPOLIS -- It was like that nagging knee injury that lingered for four years, and 102 games of never scoring more than 15 points in a game just exploded out of the right hand of Jenny Brenden on March 6.

It's funny how things work out. For the Penn State women's gymnastics team, the beam had been a problem early in the season, consistently being the low score in meets. But the last two meets, the beam has been the deciding factor in the outcome.

Usually, to figure out the source of a problem, it's necessary to do more than scratch the surface.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Up until the seven-minute mark in the first half against Iowa on March 4, things were going relatively well for the No. 2 seeded Lady Lions.

The Penn State women's tennis team opened Big Ten play yesterday with a 4-3 loss to No. 25 Indiana, continuing the Lions' trend this season of getting involved in tight matches that come down to the wire.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Senior guard Tanisha Wright walked past the scorer's table and half-heartedly high-fived her teammates, as her last chance at a Big Ten tournament championship was all but over.

BENSENVILLE, Ill. -- Here, in a small suburb on the outskirts of Chicago, a bunch of college kids performed in one of the more pure moments in sports.

During the past week, the Penn State women's indoor track and field team found itself running on high gear, participating in a frenzy of meets in an attempt to bolster its shot at a strong performance at the national level.

For many spring breakers, the highlight of their week is something they'll never remembered. For Penn State women's lacrosse, it was a moment they'll never forget.

Too little, too late.

Strom, Wright will play in WBCA all-star game

ARTS

Shattering the mold of traditional performance art, rock meets theater in a daring combination of instrumental improvisation, confessional poetry and rant.

The Crowbar, 420 E. College Ave., will be packed full of punk-pop energy as The Starting Line, Further Seems Forever, Days Away, JamisonParker and As Tall As Lions take the stage at 8:30 p.m. for an all-ages, alcohol-free show.

Allen Street Grill, 100 W. College Ave., is featuring Magic Hat beer (231-4745).
