NEWS

Bikini glue and world peace aside, some of Penn State's most promising academics will display their beauty, talent and wit in the first Mr. and Ms. Schreyer Honors College Pageant.

A Penn State mechanical engineering professor died Wednesday night when his bike was hit from behind by a van.

Despite campus rumors, there are few known facts about the condition of the Penn State freshman who fell from a sixth-floor dorm window.

The Penn State student who was injured in a car accident that took the life of another student last Friday is quickly recovering, friends said.

In an election in which only 902 students voted, residence hall area and University Park Allocations Committee (UPAC) undergraduate student representatives were elected Wednesday, largely without contest.

Undergraduate Student Government (USG) senators rallied at the steps of Old Main yesterday afternoon in an effort to find out what sacrifices Penn State students would be willing to make to pay less for tuition.

State College man killed in car crash

Ventriloquist David Pendleton used four wooden dummies, including one dressed like his grandmother, to teach gospel lessons to about 300 students at the Thomas Building last night.

Muslim comedian Azhar Usman said he has grown accustomed to the odd glances he attracts when walking down the street.

SPORTS

There could not be a better way to jump back into Big Ten action for the Penn State women's tennis team (6-5, 0-1 Big Ten).

For four years, the trademark blue-and-white uniforms have been used to intimidate opponents.

In a typical Penn State men's lacrosse game, the same names come up on the scoresheet: Nate Whitaker, Brian Boyle, Pat Heim and John Eremus.

All year the Penn State men's gymnastics team has talked about one thing: championship season.

The moment of truth has finally arrived for the No. 16 Penn State women's gymnastics team.

When the No. 9 Penn State men's volleyball team travels to No. 15 George Mason at 7 p.m. tomorrow, the match will feel a little like a big brother/little brother relationship.

The Penn State softball team has already proven it can win on the road against difficult opponents, as well as come from behind. This weekend, the Nittany Lions' next test is to turn a hose on a team fresh off burning the Chinese National Team.

Bad timing has plagued the Penn State baseball team.

For some teams, the journey to complete unfinished goals from the previous season is a game of impatient waiting and long, difficult training.

With the proverbial monkey off its back, the Penn State women's lacrosse team heads to College Park, Md., to participate in the ACC/ALC challenge.

Letters to the editor
ARTS

There was once a golden age in television, a time when it was cool to stay at home on a Saturday night and watch Nickelodeon. All That, Pete and Pete and Clarissa Explains It All were classics of our formative years, with a little slime thrown in for good measure.

Since it emerged onto the scene, Scottish singer KT Tunstall's debut album, Eye to the Telescope, has been the talk of the town.

V for Vendetta left me with a nagging question: How fair is it to compare an adaptation of a piece of art to its original incarnation?

Not everybody who likes Dave Chappelle and his show will enjoy Dave Chappelle's Block Party.

As a Prince fan in the age of Rumsfeld, I figure he's due for another Sign 'O' the Times. I want the little purple man to drop some of that robotic futuristic knowledge-funk on us, let everybody in the world know how it is over here under the looking glass of the evil empire and purify us all once again in the waters of Lake Minnetonka. Just like he used to two decades ago.

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).

The Stinky Cheese Man and other Fair(l)y (stoopid) Tales will be presented by the Dallas Children's Theater at Penn State's Eisenhower Auditorium on Sunday at 2 p.m.
