The threat of a bad grade leads many students to frantic nights of paper shuffling, stress and endless cups of coffee to quickly learn information that is often more quickly forgotten. The United States is not at war, but Stanley Adams is still serving the U.S. military -- only now he is fighting alone. A series of locker breaks-ins at Rec Hall and the Intramural Building since mid-October may be the work of one person. Phase "A-1" is nearly complete, and by early May the first three parts of the project will be in place on University property. But this isn't a doomsday weapon or a plot to overthrow the government -- it's the plan for the University's Research Park. Although several key student leaders were not there for the vote, those who attended yesterday's student government restructuring meeting unanimously approved a new bicameral legislative branch. The fate of State College Borough Council member R. Thomas Berner's position on the council may be decided by his peers tonight. Representatives of underrepresented groups and several organizations from the Executive Student Action Council met Saturday and formed an advisory board that will eventually replace ESAC. In an atmosphere of hope for a unified community, Penn State Hillel held a rally Friday in protest of an advertisement that ran in The Daily Collegian Wednesday.
Rene Portland seems to have a solid understanding of how to strike up a deal. VILLANOVA -- The duPont Swimming Center can be a tough place for a visiting team to swim. Forced to sit in the bleachers along with family and fans, the distractions can cause a team to lose its concentration. The fencing team traveled to the Cleveland area on Saturday with good intentions to fence in its dual meets. But with their insurmountable appetite, the fencers had their minds on swallowing the competition. The men's volleyball team traveled north to participate in its second consecutive tournament weekend, and it captured yet another first-place finish. The Lady Lion gymnastics team vaulted its season record over .500 Friday night, going 4-1 in the six-team Cat Classic in Columbia, Mo., and setting a season-high team score in the process. Blast after blast fired at enemy nets. Pucks flying at goaltenders from every conceivable position on the ice. And when the ice had been cleared for the final time, the results were something to behold. There are times when it is impossible to hear what soft-spoken Rahsaan Carlton is saying -- his hushed voice often gets lost in the din. HERSHEY -- After eight matches were completed between No. 3 Penn State and No. 4 North Carolina, it appeared the Tar Heels would come away with a victory over the injury-depleted Lions. So smoothly it went. Lady Lion center Missy Masley controlled the tipoff against Iowa. Katina Mack retrieved the ball and zipped a pass to Tina Nicholson, who buried a three-pointer. A 3-0 lead on the first play. This was going to be easy. Had Rene Portland thought of it sooner, maybe yesterday's game wouldn't have been so close. Against an Iowa team that was minutes away from an upset, moving to a 2-3 zone was screaming for Portland's attention. After all, it had worked to perfection earlier in the game. Why didn't she switch to it sooner? The Nittany Lions fought valiantly, but in the end it was just too much Indiana --too much Alan Henderson.
