Everything seems to be coming together for the Penn State baseball team -- but one thing's still missing. The Penn State women's gymnastics team's quest for the NCAA championship will take it all the way to the other side of the country this weekend, when it travels to Seattle for the NCAA Regional Championships. Facing two ranked opponents on consecutive Saturdays is a tough task on its own. Add an emotional home game in between, and the task becomes even tougher. It will be a bittersweet match for senior co-captain and All-American Keith Kowal when the Princeton Tigers face the third-ranked Nittany Lions at 7 tomorrow night at Rec Hall. Jen Acunto doesn't consider herself a power hitter. It's the middle of the Big Ten season and time for the Penn State women's tennis team to make a U-turn on its less-than-stellar conference record. Sometimes, adversaries have to come together to defeat a common foe. Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez did it last year for the New York Yankees. Last year, the No. 58 Penn State men's tennis team opened its Big Ten season with a visit from Ohio State. The visitors went on to hand the Nittany Lions one of their worst losses (6-1) of the season. The Penn State men's outdoor track team will travel to Knoxville, Tenn., for the Big Ten/SEC Challenge tomorrow and Sunday. In the second meet of its outdoor season, the team will face its toughest competition. The Penn State crew team looks to add to a fast start to the 2005 season, but will have to prove its muster without a few top guns. This weekend the Penn State women's water polo club team will take to the pool to compete for the Mid-Atlantic division title and a trip to contend for the national title. The Nittany Lions earned the division's No. 1 seed and will square off against fourth-seeded West Chester University at 10 a.m. tomorrow and fifth-seeded Bloomsburg University at 4 p.m. tomorrow at McCoy Natatorium.

Police not monitoring suspect in spying case neglected public safety My Opinion: Jen Winberry Voices Letters to the editor
There's a lot of cultural cud to chew on in Sin City, an adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel series of the same name and the most popular movie in the country right now. What's that they say about number 13? It's unlucky, right? Right-o, buddy. Last semester, after I had previewed the first two episodes of The OC, I wrote that it appeared as though the excessive number of pulp culture references and overwhelming soapiness of the show had not disappeared in the second season. Those of us who aspire to run an office environment where encasing a co-worker's office supplies in Jell-O is strongly encouraged may want to apply for a job at The Office. Reel Big Fish (RBF) is a really goofy band. They always have been and always will be. That being said, music doesn't always have to be serious to be good. WKPS-FM (90.7) The Lion wants the student body to get its collective groove on while learning about the dangers of taking their dance partners home for after-show extracurricular activities. Need an escape from the work-filled world of the last month of classes? The All American Rathskeller, 108 S. Pugh St., will feature Brian Lubrecht at 8 p.m. and Katsu at 10:30 p.m. Specials include $2 Captain and cola and happy hour from 8 to 10 p.m. (237-3858).
