Palmer Museum addition to be completed by December
By CAMERON McGAUGHY
Collegian Staff Writer
The Palmer Museum of Art will
finally emerge from a cloud of dust
this winter, enabling visitors to view
art instead of bulldozers.
The museum addition should be
completed by the end of December
and the facility should reopen by next
summer, said Mary Linda, the
museum's assistant director.
Under construction since 1990, the
museum has been completely closed
since March 29, Linda said. During
that time, construction caused some
traffic congestion on Curtin Road.
"There is a lot of congestion,
especially at class break," said
Howard Triebold, director of Uni
versity Safety. "That's why we've
put down the pedestrian lines on the
road."
One student said the construc
tion created safety problems.
"I ride my bike and there's no
shoulder (on the road)," said Kim
berly Rosenberg (senior-psycholo
gy). "The .traffic problems are
ridiculous."
Erica Lee (sophomore-psycholo
gy) said, "(The traffic is) horrible
Public drunkenness more than intoxication
Police must judge a staggering walk from dangerous behavior

A police officer woke up Brad McCann on
the curb of Atherton Street one morning and
drove him home. McCann thought he had made
a new friend but after the drive home, he was
handed a $l4O citation for public drunken
ness.
"They treated me pretty fairly and the officer
was pretty nice," said McCann (senior-eco
nomics), who thought there may have been a
misunderstanding. "I told him I was with some
friends and had a couple of pitchers of beer,"
he said. "But he wrote down that I drank a couple
of pitchers by myself."
Public drunkenness and alcohol-related
incidents are the cause of many problems at
Penn State.
"I'm no statistician but I would guess that
99 percent of incidents on Saturday night are
alcohol-related," University Police Services
Officer Ellen Aschenbrenner said.
Between June and August of this year, there
were 166 public drunkenness cases com
pleted and filed with District Magistrate Clifford
Yorks' office. The fine for the offense is set
by the district magistrate and is usually between
$lOO and $3OO, depending on the circum
stances.
Although citations are recorded with the
magistrate, they do not go on an individual's
permanent record, Aschenbrenner said.
Interview sign-ups accepted this Friday through Monday.

cars run me over all the time. They
need to put a stop sign there."
But as construction nears com
pletion, Bruce Kline, director of
University Parking, said his big
gest concern is having enough visitor
parking space.
"It's always difficult," Kline said.
"Obviously, you can't please
everyone."
The museum's parking has been
expanded since construction began,
Kline added.
Once completed, the 32,000 square
foot addition will include 10 new
galleries featuring American, Asian,
African and contemporary art, Linda
said.
Linda credited architect Charles
W. Moore of the Fine Arts Institute
of America who worked with
associates Arbonies, King, Vlock from
Connecticut for his accomplish
ment.
"Moore is known for ... com
bining very fanciful, colorful motifs
into one structure," she said.
Donna Crusemire (junior
accounting) said she likes the new
addition.
"It gives (the museum) a differ
ent look," she said.
Scott Young (junior-mechanical engi
neering) was cited for public drunkenness and
underaged drinking by University police outside
his dorm last November. As a result, he paid
a $3OO fine and lost his license for three months.
He was put on probation for a semester and
had to attend an alcohol awareness program.
"I think the alcohol awareness program was
a good idea, but I don't believe the loss of my
license because I wasn't even driving," Young
said.
The police kept Young in the car for about
an hour while they called his neighbors to help
out, he said.
"I remember being in the car. At that point
my memory kicked in," Young said.
University police officers say they are careful
when distinguishing a staggering walk home
from public drunkenness.
"They have to be really drunk for me to pick
them up," Aschenbrenner said. "It has to hold
up in court. You have to use a lot of discre
tion. The law is very specific about public
drunkenness."
Public drunkenness is not simply being
intoxicated in a public place. A person must also
"endanger himself or other persons or prop
erty, or annoy persons in his vicinity," according
to the law.
The law is often used to control problems that
arise from excessive drinking, said State College
Bureau of Police Services Lt. Carmine Pres
tia.

But another student said the
different shade of brick used is a
distraction.
"I really think they should have
tried harder to match the color of
the brick," said Susan Lobking
(junior-international business). "It
looks like an addition ...
Linda explained that Richard King,
one of Nloore's associates, said it
would be difficult to match the exact
shade of the original building.
"What the architect decided to do
was make (the bricks) dramati
cally different, so it would be very
clear what was the old building and
what was the new building," she said.
The bricks are not the only external
change a new outdoor sculpture
garden will grace the main entrance,
The museum also commissioned
an artist to make a set of lion's paws
to adorn the entrance, proposing it
as a 1993 class gift, Linda said.
Lori Verderame, graduate assis
tant of the museum, said she hopes
the expansion will rival that of other
universities Penn State's size.
"We're very excited," Verde
rame said. "We have a new staff and
a new wing. We really are working
toward promoting the arts."

The addition to the Palmer Museu
include 10 new galleries featuring
"Public drunkenness is just one of the tools
we use to control the alcohol problem, to control
minors who are drinking and to control peo
ple who are supplying them with alcohol," Prestia
said.
In most cases, a person who is cited for public
drunkenness is taken to a holding room at the
State College police station, Prestia said. The
offender is released once a friend is present,
he said. If the police cannot find a responsi
ble person to take care of the drunk person,
the offender will be taken to the district
magistrate and sent to jail, Prestia said.
University police follow a similar proce
dure.
After picking someone up for public
drunkenness, "we generally put them in the
interview room and babysit them," Aschen
brenner said.
But if the person is from out of town, the
offender will probably be taken directly to the
district magistrate, Aschenbrenner said. This
way bail can be set to prevent the person from
fleeing town, she said.
For every officer that has to sit with a drunk
person, one less officer is on the street, Pre
stia said.
"We just don't have the facility here to keep
them very long," Prestia said.
Occasionally, the people cited are so intox
icated that their condition is a serious threat
to their health, Prestia said. In those cases they
are taken directly to Centre Community Hospital.

Homecoming floats too costly
for many student organizations
By BETH MAUSTELLER
Collegian Staff Writer
Some student organizations are
trying to stay afloat, let alone float
in this year's Homecoming parade.
Many independent student groups
cannot afford to shell out $6OO for
pomps and other float-building
materials. But that's the amount of
money groups are permitted to spend
on floats in the Homecoming '92
parade.
Twelve independent student groups
will participate in this year's parade,
up from four last year, said Matt
McKelvey, Homecoming '92 com
mittee chairman, adding that
Homecoming events are open to all
students.
But many student groups
including National Pan-Hellenic
Council fraternities and sororities
lack the money and membership
to reach the level of involvement of
Interfraternity Council and Pan
hellenic groups, said John Mitch
ell. NPHC co-chair.
Some organizations that partici
pated in the past will not take part
in this year's festivities.
Black Caucus had a float in last
year's parade, but a shortage of
money is preventing the group from
participating this year.

Caucus, said she does not think non-
Greek organizations are excluded
from Homecoming.
"I don't think they try to exclude
other groups," Trader said.
The Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual
Student Alliance also will not take
part in the parade. LGBSA was
invited to participate, but a com
bination of lack of funds and dif
ferent priorities is preventing the
group from taking part, said Jenifer
Fabian, LGBSA social co-director.
"It's a mixture of not having the
motivation and nobody expressing
an interest," said Fabian (senior
molecular and cell biology).
The Homecoming committee tries
to include all student groups not
just fraternities and sororities,
McKelvey said.
"One of the main goals is to get
it away from the Greek system," he
said, adding that the committee
extended invitations to indepen
dent student groups.
Kappa Phi Christian service
sorority will participate in the parade,
but not on a float, said Robin
Fwinsburg, Kappa Phi president.
"We're just carying a banner and
marching," said Fwinsburg (senior
human development and family
studies). "We really don't have the
time or money right now."
