International groups are the closest thing to home for international students at the University. Betty Grudin announced Wednesday she will run for a Democratic seat on the State College Borough Council. Despite inclement weather and the oncoming spring break, the University Student Advisory Board finally got their man. When Christina Hula went to live in Osaka, Japan for a year, she thought she was simply going to have the opportunity to adapt to a new culture and meet some interesting people. Calling all cars -- State College needs a new police chief. Elwood Williams announced his retirement last month as State College Bureau of Police Services police chief. Applications are being taken for his replacement. History molds society -- both past and present. Through past history, society knows how it originated, what mistakes it made and should not repeat and about peoples' past experiences. Routine fire drills are meant to be a safety measure taken to prevent injury in the event of a fire, but when disabled students aren't given prior notice, it can be a frightening and dangerous experience. A preliminary report released by federal officials yesterday about a fatal plane crash last month on Mount Nittany has shed no new light on what caused the crash. When many people think of police training, they imagine officers shooting mock targets and maneuvering cars through obstacle courses.
The Lady Lion softball team spent most of the offseason working to turn things around from last year's 10-29 debacle. At the North Carolina-Wilmington tournament two weeks ago, the team showed that improvement had begun, scoring 16 runs in six games and going 4-2. The No. 2 Iowa women's basketball team, which will play No. 8 Penn State at 7:30 p.m. in Rec Hall today, will likely be the No. 1 seed in the Mideast region when the NCAA bracket is announced on March 14. Just when a Big Ten win for Penn State looked as likely as a Clinton tax-cut, the Lions -- perhaps exorcising the ghost of Indiana -- beat Wisconsin to snap a 12-game losing strak. Picture State College. You hear the sound of hail pinging off tightly sealed windows. You see people running for shelter from the storm. And you feel the wetness soaking through your clothes. The Michigan-Dearborn Wolves struck one too many times yesterday. The Penn State wrestling team is hoping that its first trip to the Big Ten Championships will be one to remember.
