As was the case in the 2005 version of the Blue-White game, quickness and velocity set the tone in Saturday's intrasquad scrimmage.

Even though Movin' On has been cursed with rain the past couple of years, that has not stopped loyal fans from gathering on the HUB lawn to rock out free of charge.

Police found a Penn State student dead in his State College apartment Saturday afternoon.

Tears and memories flooded the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center Friday when more than 200 friends, faculty and family members gathered for another goodbye to the 32 students who died this year.

About 15 fraternities are struggling to raise money required to install new fire-safety systems required by the Centre Region Code Administration, said Ben Jabara, Interfraternity Council president.

Amid the rain and excitement that came with Blue and White weekend, the Third Annual State College Window Shop Hop kicked off Saturday with more than 100 artists displaying their pieces of artwork in 50 downtown storefront windows.

A Penn State freshman was charged Wednesday with five felony counts for allegedly entering a Simmons Hall room Feb. 4 while the occupants were sleeping and for allegedly taking two Apple iPods, a laptop and three cameras.

In a world of Alphas and Zetas, the mention of the Greek letters Gamma Gamma Chi may draw quizzical looks or shoulder shrugs from the Penn State community.

Local law enforcement officials were not singing for the rain to go away this weekend.

Sports in brief

Had it not been for two last-inning debacles, Penn State could have been thinking sweep as it entered Rocky Miller Park yesterday afternoon. But all it could do was hope for a split.

The Penn State softball team was one "fluke play" away from sticking a Pennsylvania flag straight through the heart of Michigan, but still came away with three victories against the second and third best team in the Big Ten this weekend.

For most of the game, senior attacker Nate Whitaker would shoot and then find a pose -- pounding his stick to the ground, bending his knees or putting his hands over his head, all in frustration.

A career can end in the blink of an eye, and senior Jennifer Orlando knows this fact well.

It was no secret -- the Blue team was supposed to pummel the White team. Sure, it was a scrimmage, but it was the first-stringers vs. the second-stringers, the starters vs. the scrubs.

Jordan Norwood wasn't much bigger than the guys throwing the yellow flags on Saturday, but his stature didn't prevent him from having a breakout game.

Michael James flashed the "Dynasty" hand symbol after clinching his match against Michigan -- the same weekend that two seniors on the Penn State men's tennis closed out a dynasty of their own.

Lounging in a chair in the corner of the Penn State media room, Penn State tailback Tony Hunt quietly and succinctly answered questions about his return from an Orange Bowl high-ankle sprain.

As Bowling for Soup says in its song "Ohio," "there's nothing wrong with Ohio."

Come rain, snow, sleet or hail, a Nittany Lion runner never fails. It's usually the United States Postal Service following this creed, but Saturday morning it was the Penn State men's track and field team, which had to endure some less-than-perfect weather at the Nittany Lion Relays.

It has been a long time, but the Penn State men's rugby team is basking in the spotlight of a Final Four for the first time since 2001.

Road wins have been tough to capture this season for the Penn State women's tennis team. With a 5-2 loss to Michigan on Saturday and a 5-2 loss to Michigan State yesterday, the team ends its regular season without a single road victory.

While their fellow students were celebrating the weekend's Blue-White game festivities, the Penn State women's rugby team had other plans. The Lady Ruggers competed in the rounds of 16 and eight at the national Division I Women's Collegiate Rugby Playoffs.

For the Penn State men's golf team, hosting an event on its home course seemed to be just what it needed to try to get the 2006 season headed in the right direction.

It hardly looked like a track meet. With most of the athletes and spectators waiting indoors to avoid the rain, the Nittany Lion Track was nearly empty during the women's track and field competition at the Nittany Lion Relays Saturday.

The Live show at the Bryce Jordan Center last night reaffirmed the band's presence on the rock 'n' roll scene and gave its fans reason to believe that its soon-to-be-released album, Songs From Black Mountain, will be a success.

Dark skies, constant rain and mud-slinging -- those can only mean one thing: The Movin' On festival was in town Saturday.

With big-name hip-hop acts like Talib Kweli and Ghostface Killah performing in town, local groups are doing their part to make this a State College hip-hop week.
