That doesn’t mean there’s a dead spirit sticking around.” To conduct the investigation, the society divided into pairs of two, which were stationed throughout various parts of the bar, looking for information that would help them. “We have thermometers that we use to look for temperature drops,” Paranormal Research Investigator Amanda Kunkel said. “A drop in temperature can Concert From Page 1. the notion of having a musical family though, saying that his father “can’t really play at all.” But Saturday, with Macel out of town, Anthony has decided to give his string-strumming chops a chance. Minutes before he takes the stage, a troupe of Mends and acquaintances arrive most from Undergraduate Student Government President Galen Fbulke’s bar tour —to cheer him on. For inspiration, Anthony often looks to piano maestro Ben Folds, although his most recent Chris Gardner/Associated Press Penn State players react during the final minutes of their loss to Liberty last night. Lady Lions From Page 1, their fans, motivated enough to try a comeback. But they just didn’t have it in them. Portland put on the foil-court press to gener ate steals and get the Lady Lions back into the contest, but Feenstra and her much stronger and taller team were too hot for the Lady Lions. “We tried a little bit of everything tonight defensively,” Portland said. “It just didn’t work.” The names beat everything Penn State threw in their face, proving to the NCAA tournament committee just how “legit” they really were. ‘Tm always exited to play in these big games, especially when we’re not favored to win,” Feen stra said. “A post player’s a post player. I can’t dribble worth anything, and if Tm not under the basket I can’t score. I’m lucky enough to have great guards who can get me the ball. We’ve wanted this so bad for so many years.” Liberty’s other unsung hero last night was point guard Allyson Fasnacht. Whether she channeled the usual energetic Zen of Strom, or took advantage of a weak Penn State defense, her 18 points provided an unexpected lift to the Flames. “This is March Madness,” Liberty coach Carey Green said. LOCAL mean that a spirit is present.” kunkel said the team also uses digital cameras to pick up visual orbs and audio recordings to listen for voices. “When we first got here, we took a tour of the place and set up a home base, which is where we all meet to check equipment and discuss important findings,” Kunkel said. “Then we all walk around and get a feel for the place before settling in for a more specific investigation using equipment,” she added. The group worked into the early hours of the morning, recording any finding that vari ous instruments reported and using their own senses to detect if any spirits were present. addictions have included Rusted Root and Keane. When not lis tening to music on the radio, Anthony said he often goes to the Phyrst, 111 1/2 E. Beaver Ave., to listen to the Phyrst Phamily. He once had a fortu itous run-in with Penn State President Graham Spanier, who sometimes plays washboard for the group. “I was getting ready to give a speech in his honor at a function in Pittsburgh and I knew he was going to be there,” Anthony said. “I asked him if we could some how ride together and he told me he’d check his schedule and get back to me. He ended up picking me up personally and we rode in a private jet together.” CWS UNIVERSITY PARK FORECAST FOR MONDAY, MARCH 21, 200* ALMANAC Normal high Record high Normal low 29° Record low . .9° in 1986 Monthly climate summary (Data valid through 7 a.m. yesterday) March precipitation 0.86” Normal March precip 3.37” March temp, departure -5.13° Sun data Sunset today 6:23 p.m. Sunrise tomorrow 6:13 a.m. Previous day summary Saturday High: 52 Low: 29 Temp, departure: +2.4° Rain or Liquid Equivalent: Trace REGIONAL FORECAST After a nice, spring-like Saturday when temperatures across the state were well into the lower 50s, a soggy storm system dampened yesterday. A weak area of low pressure moved across the commonwealth spreading scattered showers from the New York border as far south as Harrisburg. The cloudy skies kept temperatures down in the lower 40s, a trend that will continue into today. Once the storm exits the mid-Atlantic tonight, tomorrow will rebound quickly into the lower 50s with some sun, but old man winter looks as if he is not going to give up without a fight. There is the chance for some wintry precipitation Wednesday Gastiger said that although he’s not sure if he believes the bar is haunted, he is interested to see what PRS will determine. “I’ve owned the bar since 1985,” Gastiger said. “The bar has been around since the 1930 s and that’s a lot of stories, a lot of tears, a lot of happiness. Do I believe? I don’t know, but I’m willing to see what they find.” Buell said the team will go back and look at all the video and audio footage before releasing their findings. “We’re going to release the documents hopefully within the week,” Buell said. “People will be able to go onto our Web site and see the footage we shot, and learn about any conclusions we’ve drawn.” Anthony said Spanier was “not much of a conversational ist” but he tried to keep the pres ident talking most of the ride. Back in Joegies, Anthony took the stage solo a little after mid night. “I’m feeling kind of naked here,” he said about the absence of his musical partner. But nude or not, Anthony confidently plunged into “Only Wanna Be With You,” by Hootie and the Blowfish starting an hour long set of nostalgic hits from the ’9os by artists such as Collective Soul, Oasis and Deep Blue Something. The partially inebriated crowd of 30-some Penn Staters responded like any normal bar Prince Frederick Spells/Collegian Penn State Lady Lions guard Tanisha Wright (33) shoots a jumper during the first round of the NCAA tournament against a Liberty player.

As the night wore on, however, the crowd thinned and the true friends and fans of Anthony remained, enjoying the music and occasionally even taking the stage to sing along. After the show, Anthony moved through a crowd of hand shakes and hugs, congratulating him on his solo effort. It’s now past 1 a.m, but the night is far from over. For Anthony, it’s off to The Darkhorse Tavern, 128 E. Col lege Ave., where an hour of milk and potato chips will soon seem like a dream. Stadium From Page l picnic and suite levels. Schultz added that although Penn State events would be alcohol free, minor league games would serve alcohol. The ownership group of the Altoona Curve plans to purchase a minor league team and move it to Centre County to play in the new stadium. The minor league season will last from June to August, while the Penn State varsity team will play from March to May. Schultz could not release a cost estimate for the stadium, since the preliminary plans were just approved and a contractor has yet to be hired. “We’ve got some good esti mates based on timely bids,” he said. “We’re feeling like we’re on the right path right now we’re doing as good as you can do.” Schultz said Penn State is con sidering charging for tickets to college games and allowing for the rental of billboards at the park. “We’re going to allow the own ership group to sell billboard spacing, but we will have the right of approval for billboard rents,” he said. “Some businesses are inter ested in buying for both sea sons.” Revenue will also come from suite leasing. Schultz said rev enue from suite renting would go to the team that is playing at the time, and added that suite pric ing has not yet been determined.
