Nittany Lion Statue

Hello I am looking for the name of the Nittany Lion Statue that is located on top of beaver stadium in Happy Valley. The Nittany Lion Statue has a North South East West direction indicator under the lion. It can be seen pictured on your website in one of the pictures when looking up beaver stadium. I'm also looking to find out if it is made in replica version. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.113.137 (talk) 00:13, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

I can't find the reference you refer to in Beaver Stadium or Nittany_Lion#The_Lion_Shrine - it says that the lion statue is near the stadium, but not on top.

Anyway you can get replicas eg http://seasonsla2.homestead.com/sapcps.html 83.100.250.79 (talk) 18:32, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

This item [1] discusses a recent move of the statue. This and other references indicate it is simply "Nittany Lion". Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 18:52, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

"Cacharpaya" - the Swingle Singers

Years ago I saw on TV a videoclip of the Swingle Singers performing the Andean (?) song "Catcharpaya." I've lost track of the videocassette on which I recorded it and would like to see the clip again. All I found on YouTube was this, where it's just background music (good audio quality though cut off at the end). Any ideas where else to search? -- Thanks, Deborahjay (talk) 07:18, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

• Spelling the name correctly will help you. It's "Cacharpaya", once a chart success for Incantation. If we had an article on cacharpaya it would also tell you that it's a particular Andean dance form. Uncle G (talk) 15:23, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
