NEWS
[ Thursday, Oct. 26, 2006 ]

The State College bar owner scheduled to appear today before the Pennsylvania Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement for "happy hour violations" has reached a plea bargain agreement with the bureau.

As students graduated last spring, many may have fantasized about dream jobs and Manhattan lofts. Instead, about half ended up back in their high school bedrooms, according to a recent CBS article.

This fall, Penn State University admitted the largest freshman class in history -- and for next fall's class, the admissions office has already experienced a 24 percent increase in applications from this time last year.

A recent study showed that while professors are less religious than other Americans, they are more religiously affiliated than what people perceive.

"If you're colored, dreaming big is more than just reaching for the stars."

A Centre County judge found probable cause yesterday to send a male Penn State employee to trial on charges of harassment and stalking for allegedly following a fellow female university employee in her car.

For fourth-floor Cooper Hall resident Abby Perschon, cockroaches aren't just an isolated problem -- when she found a roach in her bed Sunday, she said it marked the "third or fourth time" a person in her hall had caught site of the insects.

A 25-year-old State College resident accused of raping a Penn State student had his bail reduced yesterday after a judge bound him over for trial on charges of rape, sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, involuntary deviate assault and simple assault.

Although a judge dismissed theft and criminal mischief charges yesterday against a Penn State student accused of killing a snake and cooking it on a George Foreman grill, the assistant district attorney said he may re-file the charges.

"It drives me nuts! It just makes me want to rip someone's face off," shouted Todd Taylor, chairman of the College Republicans, as last night's debate became heated.

Jeff Corwin, host of Animal Planet's The Jeff Corwin Experience and Corwin's Quest, spoke to an enthusiastic audience of more than 300 people last night in Eisenhower Auditorium.

News in brief


SPORTS

Rewind to 1998.

Last season, many Penn State fans tried without success to purchase tickets for the FedEx Orange Bowl in Miami.

The sounds of gunfire echoed through the rifle range tucked away in White Building Sunday night as the rifle team geared up for the upcoming season. Following a season that ended with the team making a championship run, members of the rifle team look to carry that momentum into the 2006-07 season.

Sprinting down the sidelines, sophomore wide receiver Derrick Williams found himself matched up one-on-one against Illinois defensive back Vontae Davis. In an attempt to reach the open field just beyond Davis, Williams juked.

Given the situation, Terrell Golden was entitled to a celebration. In his excitement, though, he crossed the line between jubilation and excessive celebration.

Penn State men's soccer coach Barry Gorman could see it coming from a mile away.

One team will be undefeated. One team will own the longest current winning streak in the nation. One team will possess a wide-open, quick-strike offense and an impenetrable defense.

Letters to the editor
ARTS

The Decemberists is a band known for a lot of things, and diverse instrumentation is definitely one of them.

On Dec. 1, the Boston-based alternative hard-rock band Godsmack will make its triumphant return to the Bryce Jordan Center, touring behind the release of its newest studio album.

Tonight, two Penn State students may hear the question, "Is that your final answer?"

A man, dressed in high-heels and fishnets, sensually slinks down a fireman's pole onto the set. Androgynous leads with glittered lips roam the stage and aggressively grope one another. A disrobed cast dances around in racy lingerie while singing songs like "Sweet Transvestite" and "The Time Warp."

Grammy-winning Christian rock band Third Day hopes to shake students out of the belief that its music isn't rock and roll.

Jack Frost may not be nipping at your nose just yet, but warm, late summer tailgates seem to be long gone for this year.

The typical apartment of a rock band is filled with posters of musicians and piles of records. But the apartment of Mike Zucker, guitarist and vocalist for the band This Place is Haunted, was more in line with the dreams of a 9-year-old video game enthusiast.

Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell III

Toby Keith will spend his Saturday night hanging out at the Bryce Jordan Center when he plays the next concert on his Ford Trucks-sponsored Hookin' Up & Hangin' Out Tour.

Where does the alcohol come from in beer?

Jewelry. Paper money. Gift certificates.

When counting sheep doesn't do the trick...

Urinetown, The Musical. No, it's not a joke, and yes it has everything to do with going to the bathroom.

The bar scene
