NEWS

Most people associate live concerts with rock 'n' roll, electric guitars, loud noise and a roaring crowd -- not with a public library.

State Sen. Jake Corman announced Tuesday that Penn State's Pennsylvania Transportation Institute (PTI) will receive two state grants of about $650,000 for the partial fuel conversion of seven CATA buses to hydrogen, and aid for a student competition.

Students will be preparing mouth-watering racks of ribs, barbecue chicken, rolls and cookies today to raise funds for their service trip to New Orleans.

Almost every student comes to college to start a career, but some students who feel their focus is more difficult than others are using Facebook.com as an outlet for their frustration.

A new deli has found its way to State College, and it plans to be here for "All Seasons."

For students graduating in the spring, early indications for 2006 show the job market is improving for most college degrees.

The State College Borough Council will discuss Urban Village recommendations, including plans to survey non-student residents in the area, set up meetings with neighborhood residents and Penn State officials and discuss possible funding options.

While many people drive cars, not many can build one in six hours.

A campus group angry at the university's refusal to discuss its arguments in a discrimination lawsuit against Lady Lions basketball coach Rene Portland will hold a public forum tonight about the issue.

The sounds of upbeat Christian music and performances filled the HUB-Robeson Center last night at the Asian American Christian Fellowship's (AACF) annual Asian Light event.

The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) will not settle its lawsuit with Penn State over students' free speech rights unless the university changes its policies, ADF lawyer David French said yesterday.

Though eco-friendly hybrid cars have been selling steadily at local retailers since their introduction in 1999, Penn State's Eco-Action group wants the university to implement more incentives for owners of hybrids.

SPORTS

PSU basketball loyalists to be honored at BJC

Finally, the Penn State women's lacrosse team can stop staring at the blue and gray practice jerseys it has been accustomed to facing. The No. 11 Nittany Lions will begin their season tomorrow against the black and gold of Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tenn.

Two teams working together is always better than one, and the Penn State women's gymnastics team is hoping a tag team with its male counterpart will boost its chances this weekend.

This early in the season, Penn State baseball coach Robbie Wine is more concerned with coming up with a definitive starting lineup than whether his team wins or loses.

Momentum. Catch it while you can.

Their best athlete is injured. They're coming off their closest win of the year. They're about to head into the home gym of the No. 2 team in the country. But for the Nittany Lions, there is little concern.

Coming off its best Big Ten finish ever, a 5-5 record, the No. 60 Penn State men's tennis team will look to build off of last spring by starting conference play on the road.

The bus ride to South Bend, Ind., lasts approximately eight hours, leaving plenty of time to think for the Penn State men's lacrosse team.

The first run is usually the hardest to score, and, thus far, in the Penn State softball team's season, it has been the keystone to victory or defeat.

With 25 seconds to go, and her team down five, Northwestern women's basketball head coach Beth Combs hopped up and started flapping her arms around.

Change is inevitable.

The members of the Penn State men's indoor track and field team just spent two hours on a plane studying, sleeping and, not unlike other students, looking forward to this weekend, even if for a different reason.

If the Penn State women's track and field team wants to clinch its second Big Ten Championship in three seasons, it knows where the points will come from.

As the saying goes, "there's no place like home."

Letters to the editor
ARTS

According to the advertisements, Date Movie comes from "two of the six writers of Scary Movie." They really should have called up the other four guys.

So, I was alone in a movie theater waiting for Pink Panther to start, sipping my soda and popping gummy bears. I waited for at least a young mother toting small children to arrive or even hoped for a band of annoying preadolescents who would throw popcorn at me and talk during the movie. I had no such luck. Apparently there isn't much desire to see the latest Steve Martin movie in Happy Valley.

The Subways are a band. They're not quite as good as the actual mass transportation system, but somewhat better than the sandwiches. As a band, they are very British. If that sort of thing appeals to you, well guv'nor, lock up the flat, step into the lift, and hit Ye Olde Record Shoppe post-haste. If you're indifferent, well, fiddlesticks, I don't know what to tell you.

Director Sanaa Hamri, makes her directorial debut with the film Something New, which delivers just that.

Jaheim's first mistake: naming his album Ghetto Classics. The cocky title sets the bar pretty high to begin with, and the album only kept me fooled for one song. Enjoyable, maybe, but you promised me a classic, Mr. Jaheim.
