The golden aura of 11 candles shimmered across the faces of a vast, hushed crowd while the faint strains of a memorial hymn wavered in the background. |

SHANKSVILLE -- From infants to the elderly, hundreds of people gathered near Shanksville yesterday on a chilly, windy, overcast morning to pay tribute to the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93. |

The 20-year-old Penn State student who fell from an eighth-story window early Sunday morning remains in critical condition at Hershey Medical Center, a hospital official said yesterday.
Political experts discussed the meaning and the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in a panel discussion and question and answer session last night in Schwab Auditorium.

Co-workers said the quote Michele Nelson kept by her bedside was perfect for her: "Think less of yourself."
Michael Pescherine was many things. He was a graduate of Penn State's Smeal College of Business. He was a bond salesman. He was a runner. He was a Nittany Lion football fan. He was a husband, a son, a brother and was soon to be a father.
The Penn State Board of Trustees will convene today and tomorrow at the Nittany Lion Inn, 200 W. Park Ave., for its bimonthly meeting to discuss the establishment of the university's state budget for 2003-2004.
"Expansion" is the word for State College-area roads as major changes are being made to North Martin Street and North Atherton Street.

Nothing's good like Thanksgiving leftovers. It tastes that much sweeter when you've got to work for it that much harder. In the state of Nebraska, boys grow up rooting for only one football team. If that team should ask them to play when they get older, their answer is almost always, "yes," no matter if there's a scholarship being offered or not. It was the home opener against then-No. 18 Maryland, and former Penn State women's soccer coach Pat Farmer opted to start true freshman Emily Oleksiuk over senior Tracey Frost. After 90 minutes of action, Farmer was not disappointed with his decision, and he had found his starting goaltender. Collegiate debuts are never supposed to be so easy, or so difficult at the end.

Raise the curtain: Planned venues will liven up town My Opinion: Adam Kapp Letters to the editor
For those who believe in magic, there is a club on campus catered especially to you.
Giacomo Puccini's La Bohème unfolds in 19th century Paris. Puccini carries opera-goers to the Latin Quarter, a haven for students and artists. In the background, Christmas bells chime as people meander through medieval streets. The opening scene focuses on a tiny garret, where two struggling artists -- painter Marcello and poet Rodolfo -- try to stay warm. The French Department Film Series, "Recent Films from France," begins tonight with L'emploi du temps (Time Out) at 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. in 113 Carnegie Building. What started off as a reading in Webster's Bookstore Café, 128 S. Allen St., eventually sent a Penn State professor to Manhattan.
Returning to the same venue three times within one year has to be a sign of a hard-working band. Everyone has to get their start somewhere -- even New York City jazz singers. But for anyone who heard jazz vocalist Catherine Dupuis sing at the 36th annual Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts this summer, it's hard to imagine that in her early days she sang commercial jingles in State College for places like The Waffle Shop and Tubbies Water Works. Tuesday night, guitar virtuoso Tim Reynolds will bring his new show to Crowbar, 420 E. College Ave. Doors open at 8 p.m., with the show beginning at 9 p.m. The Clarks' fans might have to stop "chasing girls and drinking beer," or at least change their location for these activities this weekend. For folk guitarist Deirdre Flint, life's disappointments feel just a little less stressful when she can smile at them and get her audience to do the same. Most teen flicks don't even try to break the gross-out or super-sap mold. To understand the driving force behind the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street, all one has to do is open the CD jacket. James L.W. West III will talk about his newly edited version of Trimalchio at Barnes & Noble, 365 Benner Pike, at 7 p.m. Sunday. The Indian Student Association, Graduate Student Association, Hindu Vedic Society, and the Cricket Club of India are sponsoring the third annual Ganesh Festival from 5 to 10 p.m. this Saturday. The festivities include cultural programs such as regional dance, Indian classical music shows, and ancient Vedic chanting, as well as traditional Indian food. The Graduate Student Association's Critically Acclaimed Film Experience (C.A.F.E.), a free film series featuring international and art house films, starts its fall semester lineup with two movies this weekend.
