Following a disappointing loss last Saturday night at No. 3 Rhode Island, the Penn State ACHA Division I Icers immediately boarded their bus for a long ride back to State College. The Penn State field hockey team is enduring its longest losing streak of the season at the worst time possible. With the NCAA women's soccer tournament starting today, the No. 3 Penn State women's soccer team will likely be without one of their captains. Most teams don't like to place all the emphasis on one event, but the Penn State men's cross country team knows that it's performance tomorrow in the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regionals will dictate the rest of its season. The Penn State women's cross country team will compete in the Mid-Atlantic NCAA Regionals at 11 a.m. tomorrow at Lehigh University. The Penn State wrestling team will try to defend its home floor and gain its first possession of the Pennsylvania State Dual Championship title with or without team co-captain Eric Bradley on Sunday. Professional sports franchises will often go through a rebuilding process, a season or two when the team does not plan to be competitive, but instead concentrates on developing a nucleus of young talent in the hopes of being competitive later. The Penn State men's and women's fencing teams will not be competing against any collegiate teams at this weekend's North American Cup. For most sports teams, the tough opponents only come towards the heart and end of a season. For the Penn State men's swimming team, it is a little different. While concluding its fall season, the Penn State men's tennis team is also taking its first step for the spring campaign. It won't take much for the Lady Icers to pick themselves up off the ground after a heartbreaking loss in Massachusetts two weeks ago. At the end of practice yesterday, the team still huddled up and shouted "Rose Bowl" in unison before heading for the showers. If the preseason crowd at the Bryce Jordan Center was quiet last night, then the Edinboro offense was nearly silent in an exhibition contest against the Penn State men's basketball team. The Nittany Lions handily took care of the Fighting Scots, winning 71-58 in the final tune-up before next Saturday's regular season opener against Cornell. This is it. The seniors will dance one last time. After sitting idle in Evanston, Ill., for the past two days, the Penn State men's soccer team finally gets to continue its quest for a NCAA berth at 11:45 a.m. today against Michigan State. Ask Penn State women's volleyball head coach Russ Rose what he remembers about Sept. 24 vs. Purdue and he will flashback not only to the match, but Game 3 in particular.

Efficiency, speed crucial for new Borough Council to have successful term My Opinion: Mike Garvey What do you think of USG's efforts to encourage PSU to freeze University Park tuition Letters to the editor
Final papers, projects and exams are looming around the corner, elevating the already high stress level of most Penn State students. Several area open mic nights around town may be just what stressed-out students need to unwind. Fiona Apple is known to be a crazy chick, no bones about it. I'd like to get in on the thought process of Kelly, Michelle and Beyoncé -- the ladies of Destiny's Child (DC) -- when they decided to not only release a compilation CD, but to name it #1's. Life in "The Suck" really does. Especially if you happen to be Tony "Swoff" Swofford, the newest fresh-meat "jarhead" thrown into the depths of the Gulf War. It couldn't last. Here's something a bit refreshing from the usually perverted and generally weird R-rated flicks I've reviewed in the past -- Disney's first independently computer-animated film, Chicken Little. Allen Street Grill, 100 W. College Ave., will feature Bill Filer (231-4745).
