Overcrowding plagues HUB
By DANIELLE CHIARA
Collegian Staff Writer
On a typical day, the HUB is fre
quented by 25,000 people, including
8,000 that travel through its eater
ies alone.
But that mass of students, facul
ty and administrators is causing an
overcrowding problem, especially
at this time of the year, said John
David Grebos, assistant director of
the student union. All organizations
are busy with memberships,
finances and planning, and every
one is studying, he added.
Student organizations' requests
for meeting space in the HUB are
being denied, and they are being
asked to hold meetings elsewhere.
For the past three years, the
Undergraduate Student Govern
ment Academic Assembly has met
in the HUB, President Emily Bahn
said. But when members attempted
to reserve a room at the HUB at
the beginning of the semester for
Monday meetings, the request was
denied.
Bahn said the group had to find
somewhere to meet until a perma
nent room was found in Willard
Building.
Kato Kaelin: Nicole Simpson predicted murder
By MICHAEL FLEEMAN
Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES Nicole Brown Simpson once pre
dicted O.J. Simpson would murder her with scissors
and get away with it "because he's O.J. Simpson,"
Brian "Kato" Kaelin said in his deposition testimony.
Kaelin also told lawyers that Nicole Brown Simpson
believed her jealous ex-husband was spying on her,
videotaping her and tapping her telephone.
Questioned for three days earlier this month as part
of the wrongful-death lawsuits brought against Simp
son, Kaelin also testified that Simpson was upset
when he returned from a dance recital hours before
the June 12, 1994, stabbing deaths of Nicole Brown
Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.
The 717 pages of transcripts, obtained by The Asso
ciated Press, have Kaelin painting a much bleaker pic
ture of Simpson's relationship with his ex-wife than
Kaelin gave at Simpson's trial.
Simpson's attorney Robert Baker repeatedly
pressed Kaelin on his apparently changing testimony,

One of the reasons for the prob
lem may be that organizations are
requesting meeting space in
advance, but are not using it when
scheduled, Balm said.
"Organizations should not
reserve any more room than need
ed, and the HUB should make sure
rooms are available for students,"
Bahn said. "Space should be used
effectively."
But Bahn said the problem may
also have been caused by the fact
that she did not make reservations
early enough.
Reservation requests should be
submitted at the earliest possible
date usually about four weeks in
advance, Grebos said.
The earlier the planning for the
event, the greater the likelihood
the requests will be accommodat
ed, he added.
Another student organization
was also asked to hold meetings
elsewhere.
"We are in a situation now where
we essentially have the same
amount of office space that we
started with when the (HUB) was
built in the mid 1950 s and over 400
student organizations," Poole said.
"It does not take many organiza
tions to gobble up the space we
She said there was some confu- have."
The Association of Residence
Hall Students was asked to hold its
meetings in Osmond Laboratory
this semester due to the lack of
meeting space, said ARHS Presi
dent Maggie Kutzler.

sion over ARHS's standard reser-
vation
ARHS members expected their
reservation to be set as it has been
for the past 20 years, but they were
wrong.
"The organization represents a
large number of students," Kutzler
said. "It is not only inconvenient
for students to attend meetings,
but also for us when we need
things from the HUB office."
Both Thomas Poole, director of
the student union, and Grebos said
the demand for space has
increased because student groups
do not have to pay for meeting
space or travel far from their HUB
offices. Other factors in the over
crowding may be the insufficient
amount of office space and inade
quate size of meeting rooms for
many student organizations, Poole
said.
and at one point contended Kaelin was lying.
Baker also raised the possibility that Kaelin was
involved in the murders, asking him whether Kaelin's
boots matched the bloody shoeprints at the crime
scene. Kaelin said he didn't know but would try to find
the boots he was wearing that day.
Simpson, meanwhile, attended his ninth and possi
bly final day of questioning yesterday. The former
football star is being sued by the Goldman and Brown
families.
Kaelin testified that Nicole Brown Simpson often
described Simpson as an abusive and jealous man who
someday would kill her.
"How did she say O.J. would kill her?" plaintiffs'
attorney Daniel Petrocelli asked on Feb. 15.
"She said with scissors," Kaelin replied
The former Simpson houseguest quoted Nicole
Brown Simpson as saying Simpson would escape mur
der charges.
"She had said that 'lf O.J. would ever kill me, he'll
get away with it because he's O.J. Simpson," Kaelin
said.

SMART
sets goals
to recruit
SMART's newly elected
president said she wants
more underrepresented
students as Lion Scouts.
By MICHELE DIGIACINTO
Collegian Staff Writer
The newly elected president of
the Student Minority Advisory and
Recruitment Team wants to contin
ue rejuvenating the organization
by strengthening participation.
SMART President Jocelyn Mad
dox said part of her goal is to
recruit more underrepresented
students to become Lion Scouts
students who visit high schools and
answer questions about the Univer
sity.
SMART assists the Office of
Minority Admissions and Commu
nity Affairs and every aspect relat
ed to recruitment of underrepre
sented minority students to the
University and their retention.
Also voted in office during elec
tions last Thursday were Vice
President Jayesh Padhya (sopho
more-chemistry), Treasurer Sharia
Davenport (sophomore-division of
undergraduate studies) and Secre
tary Yu Vonne Hutchinson (fresh
man-engineering).
Michael Phillips, SMART adviser
and assistant director of minority
admissions and community affairs,
said the organization is in the
process of revitalizing the pro
gram.
He added that there was not
much participation in the organiza
tion last year and the organization
focused on recruitment this year.
"The new officers did a good job
in assisting in the recruitment, but
also in terms of recruiting under
represented students to Penn
State," he said.
