When Sung Kang crashed into Arby's in early November, he had no idea that he would be depriving Penn State students of the chain's famous roast beef sandwiches for more than two months.
As of this week, the repairs of the structure have finally been completed to the point that the building can be reopened. The construction work is being handled by Haas Building Solutions.
The 2011 Greek Week Overall Committee chose "Lions With Letters, United Together" as this year's theme for the week-long event, which will be held April 17 to April 23.
The landscape of women's college volleyball may be quite different from that of men's college volleyball, but the Penn State volleyball teams share one thing in common--success. The men got their season started last weekend at the Outrigger Invitational in Hawaii, where they recorded two wins and one loss.
Last season, Penn State made it to the National Championship for the third time in five years, but lost to Stanford in the title match. The Nittany Lions finished with a 24-8 record and won their 22nd Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA) Championship. Penn State returns five starters from last year, including Joe Sunder, who led the Nittany Lions in kills last weekend.
As the NFL heads into Sunday's conference championships, Penn State will be well represented with four former Nittany Lions looking for a chance to play in Super Bowl XLV.
Defensive end Anthony Adams and kicker Robbie Gould, both of whom play for the Chicago Bears, will take on the Green Bay Packers and tight end Andrew Quarless who starred for Penn State from 2006-2009 in the NFC Championship. That game is slated for 3:00 p.m.
In the nightcap, the stout defenses of the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets will meet in the AFC Championship. The field position battle will be an important one in this game, so former Penn Stater punter Jeremy Kapinos could give the Steelers a winning edge in the 6:30 p.m. kickoff.
Classes will take place as usual, despite the sure to be forthcoming outcry from students who live off campus. They risk life and limb to get to their 8:00 am classes on time, braving the packed CATA buses and poorly plowed roads of the borough. Well someone sympathizes you, though he's rather unexpected.

The Penn State Icers rebounded from two tough losses by sweeping Robert Morris (PA) over the weekend. The Icers scored 16 goals over two important wins that kept them in the playoff hunt.
On Friday, Tim O'Brien got things started for the Icers in a 9-4 win by scoring the only goal of the first period. In the second, Eric Steinour got a short-handed goal to put the Icers up by two, but Robert Morris got one back six minutes later. Dominic Morrone, George Saad and O'Brien all contributed goals in the period, yet Penn State took only a slim 5-3 lead into the third.
