News in brief

Cast in the shadow of Beaver Stadium, at the corner of Park Avenue and University Drive, lies Jeffrey Field, home of Penn State's other undefeated team. Most coaches would be concerned about their team after a week off from competition. With sole possession of first place in the Big Ten at stake, a title-hungry Penn State women's volleyball team takes to the road this weekend for an appetizer match at Northwestern tonight, and the main course against an equally voracious Wisconsin team tomorrow. Coming off a weekend in which some dubbed him the most dangerous player on the field, Penn State men's soccer forward Simon Omekanda has made the jump from a good player to an extremely effective one. After last weekend's brutal schedule, which included a victory over No. 11 Indiana and a one-goal loss to No. 2 Akron, the Penn State men's soccer team embarks on a kinder, gentler pair of games. A first-round loss to the No. 2 player in the nation was nothing more than a small hurdle for Penn State men's tennis co-captain Mark Barry, who was able to continue his weekend at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Polo Ralph Lauren All-American Tournament. One week after seeing a significant amount of time on defense for the first time this season, freshman utility man Justin King could be seeing even more action at cornerback this weekend. Tony Hunt has been asked to do a lot in his Penn State career. Many coaches say there is always a seam somewhere, it's just up to the returner to locate it. It's become a little colder in State College this week. For a few hours, the whole place became frantic, as if it were New York City and the Statue of Liberty had just been hijacked.

Almost every Saturday during football season, more than 100,000 fans roar, "We are ... Penn State." Bob Dylan's high school principal got down on his hands and knees to show Penn State associate English professor Toby Thompson the welded piano petal Dylan had broken off in his first public performance in the school's talent show. There's not much I can tell you about A History of Violence without giving too much away, so forgive me if it's a little hard to talk about. I don't want to ruin it for you. Just know that, if you enjoy movies that go a little deeper than, I dunno, the one where Lil' Bow Wow roller skates, you should probably get to a theater. Movies that are set in the future always seem to focus on the same things: flying cars, lasers and tight space suits. Serenity, however, takes a more classic approach to portraying the distant future. Thank you, MTV Overdrive, for bringing me the second season of Making the Band 3 a full week early. Love hurts. Love scars. Love wounds and mars. Just ask Ryan Adams. He'll tell you all about it. Just when you were afraid Jersey rock had gotten lost in the Pine Barrens forever, here, once again, comes '80s superstars Bon Jovi to the rescue, offering up their latest creation, Have A Nice Day. Whether you're appalled or entertained, the dark comedy Mail Order Wife is worth a look. Arts in brief Allen Street Grill, 100 W. College Ave., will feature Bill Filer (231-4745).
