Two days before the 2006 NFL draft, former Penn State football player Scott Paxson's father defended his son, saying his sexual assault charges are lies and threatening to take legal action against both the Centre County District Attorney's office and the alleged victim.

Undergraduate Student Government (USG) Academic Assembly may not have had a normal year after its original president resigned and a competing student advocacy group was recognized, but representatives say the semester has been a success.

College years are filled with an endless number of bills and fees, but thanks to a new campaign, there soon may be a solution to at least one of those high costs -- textbooks.

This summer is something years in the making for Penn State student Katongo Mulenga.

Step one: defeat the bottom seed in the Big Ten men's tennis tournament in round one -- accomplished.

Penn State men's rugby is one of the premier college rugby programs in the country. Yet one accolade is still missing from its resume -- a national championship. This year's squad will look to fill that void when it heads to the Final Four next weekend.

Before every game, the No. 20 Penn State women's lacrosse team (7-8, 3-1 ALC) tattoos fake Penn State Nittany Lion emblems to their leg, and, for six members of the team, tomorrow afternoon will be the last time.

You, me, everybody; we should all be a lot more annoyed with Rihanna.

Epic rock is a risky business.

American Dreamz is like the "bad auditions" show of American Idol --manufactured tastelessness, punctuated by a handful of funny moments.

Mike.

The weather was so perfect this week, it just begged for me to skip class, get a book and lie out in the sunshine -- which is exactly what I chose to do.
