Every college student takes a road trip at one point during his or her college days. After two weeks of hosting hundreds of athletes and not being able to compete as a squad, the Penn State men's track and field team will get a chance to fuel its competitive fire this weekend. Time is supposed to heal all wounds. For the Lady Icers, time is standing still. Despite having to travel for the third straight weekend and coming off of a tough loss against Notre Dame, two words are enough to motivate the Penn State men's swimming and diving team: Ohio State. This weekend's tournament for the Penn State fencing team might not have the elite field that last week's Penn State Invitational did, but Penn State coach Emmanuil Kaidanov is not going to say it will be an automatic victory for the Nittany Lions. All season, the Penn State Lady Lions have struggled with youth -- but usually it doesn't come from the visitor's bench. With 16:50 remaining in the second half, a dark-clothed woman raced in front of freshman point guard Brianne O'Rourke, stabbing her arms ferociously. The fact that No. 1 Penn State is playing No. 2 Rhode Island this weekend doesn't excite Matt Wallace any more than he normally would be for a game against the Rams. Last time a team from California faced off against the Penn State men's volleyball team at Rec Hall, the Nittany Lions were gracious hosts. California-Irvine came to Happy Valley during the fall, and the Lions took the team out to a football game and tailgate at Beaver Stadium. Cramps kept sophomore forward Geary Claxton out of the men's basketball team's 71-65 loss to No. 20 Michigan Wednesday night. An awkward twist of the knee sidelined freshman forward Jamelle Cornley later in the game. Both absences were temporary, and their respective re-entries revealed a team theme: they're worn, but they're fighting. As the Penn State women's track and field team prepares to travel to New York City for its first away meet of the season, one familiar face is missing. With a familiar face on the opposite end of the gym, the Penn State women's gymnastics team will face the Arkansas Lady Razorbacks at 8 tonight in Barnhill Arena in Fayetteville, Ark.

The battle is on at Dragon Chasers Emporium, 209 W. Calder Way, where eight different bands will take the stage tonight. Bar Bleu, 114 S. Garner St., will feature Plush. Specials include half-priced happy hour from 9 to 11 p.m. and $5 Ciroc drinks until midnight (237-0374). Lights and Sounds, Yellowcard's latest release, shows a different side of the pop-punk band. The album differs from the group's previous work, Ocean Avenue, with its heavier sound and attempt at deeper subject matter, straying from the upbeat formula that made the band popular. For me, a really good book affects me on a personal level. A more appropriate title for Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain would be "Heath Ledger: Ten Things You Love to Do." I thought we were rid of P.O.D., but I must be praying wrong. They're back! The New World refers to the story of when our ancestors first landed in America, but for this film it's more about a love story and one special lady in particular, Pocahontas.
