If you thought surfing could only happen in Hawaii, think again.

Penn State students who dream of one day running their own businesses are about to get the chance.

A "Welcome to Paternoville" banner, adorned with the image of thick glasses and dark hair of Joe Paterno, will be auctioned off for the second year with all proceeds benefiting the Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon.

Beginning college is a tough transition for any student, made doubly hard for those simultaneously going through a gender identity crisis, a university analyst said yesterday.

Students for Real Advocacy (SRA) voted unanimously to dissolve and transfer about $1,500 in remaining funds to the University Park Undergraduate Association (UPUA).

A recently overturned rape conviction in Maryland has caused many in Pennsylvania to question why, in two states, a legal precedent exists that a woman cannot withdraw consent after initially agreeing to sexual intercourse.

"Open late" marquees are attracting both revenue and rowdiness, local restaurant managers said.

Lesbian adolescents are likely to have higher body esteem than other adolescent females, according to research presented yesterday at a meeting of the Coalition of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Ally Graduate Students.

Newly re-elected state Sen. Jake Corman, R-Bellefonte, confirmed yesterday that he is running for Senate majority leader.

Israeli author Orly Castel-Bloom said yesterday to a group of students that she was alarmed when she received a Hebrew literature prize for her novel "Human Parts" in 2003 -- because she thought it meant she was going to die.

The lawyer for a man accused of raping a Penn State student said the accuser has said she wants the charges dropped and as a result, he plans to ask for the defendant's bail to be lowered.

Leaders of the academic freedom movement have accused him of bringing political bias into the classroom. Conservative professor David Horowitz called him one of the "most dangerous academics in America."

News in brief


SPORTS

Several red-white-and-blue soccer balls lie at the feet of Penn State women's soccer assistant coach Tim Rosenfeld. No more than 15 yards away, a girl sporting a yellow jersey is surrounded by four neon-orange cones, strategically positioned in front of the net.

After playing three positions in five years at Penn State, the maturation of Tim Shaw may be nearly complete.

When shown the picture accompanying this article, Nicole Fawcett responded: "That's a good one, actually."

When the Penn State women's basketball team was preparing for Tuesday night's matchup against South Carolina, head coach Rene Portland organized an unusual drill at practice. Rather than doing something that pertained basketball, Portland made her team sit on the bench and practice -- celebrating.

Ever since Dr. James Naismith decided to hang his peach baskets 10 feet off the floor, basketball has been about height. Almost all of the super stars of our time -- Shaquille O'Neal, Yao Ming, Tim Duncan -- tower over most mortals and throw down jams in the face of anyone who dares to get between them and the basket.

He said they weren't ready to play. They were sluggish, they lacked urgency, worst of all, they didn't respect their opponent.

After suffering defeat at the hands of the Penn State women's basketball team on Tuesday night, South Carolina head coach Susan Walvius admitted that the Lady Lions' depth was vital to their victory.

School of Theatre experiences 'Cloud Nine'

What's going on around the state?

State Radio is scheduled to bring its blend of rock reggae to Lulu's Nightspot, 129 1/2 Pugh St., tonight in a special early bird, all-ages show.

When Crowbar closed, some Penn State students worried it might mean the end of live music in downtown State College. But its predecessor, The Cell Block, 420 E. College Ave., is opening its doors to the live music scene tonight as The Benderz make a pit-stop in Happy Valley.

Imagine you have been eagerly waiting in the audience to hear Bob Barker say those three magic words, inviting you to play and hopefully to win on The Price Is Right.

Winter vacation may seem pretty far away, but State College residents are about to have a tropical paradise come to them.

Jonathan Kotula (senior-biochemistry and molecular biology) requested an early-90s grunge mix. What I've decided to do is focus less on the big hits--why make a mix with songs you already know?--and instead choose songs that really capture the essence of grunge.

Portugal. The Man is not from the contiguous U.S. (the band's from Alaska), its music is thousands of miles away from anything you've probably heard before and lead singer John Gourley is homeless. That's not a joke -- he actually lives in his van.

I've seen a few beers advertised as being made in accordance with "Reinheitsgebot." What is it and what does it mean?

Hot off its recent win for mtvU's "Woodie of the Year," Angels and Airwaves will be defending its title of the college crowd's most popular act when the band hits the Bryce Jordan Center this Sunday night.

Eric J. Seidman is not your average Penn State junior or film major. Sure he goes to the movies, shuffles to class and watches basketball games like most college-aged males.
