"It's their property and people are damaging and abusing it," Baker said, adding the IFC wants to host fewer guest-list parties and more greek only events.

Student affairs VP settles into new job By Aubrey Whelan COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER I ajwsl39@psu.edu Newly appointed Vice President for Student Affairs Damon Sims has only been at Penn State for a little more than a month. But for him, campus already feels like home literally. A former associate vice provost of student affairs at Indiana University at Bloomington, Sims was appointed to Penn State's vice presidential position in May but couldn't find a house in State College for himself, his wife and two young sons.

The door is "soon going to be shut" for students who choose not to join fraternities, Cory Will, co-executive vice president for membership, said. Fraternities are currently in the midst of their recruitment season, and the IFC is trying to make frater nity social life an incentive to join greek life, Will said.

Players face uncertain future Even when John Cappelletti wore blue and white, Joe Paterno dealt with players who found trouble "very severely and very quickly most of the time," the former Nittany Lion said. Cappelletti, Penn State's only Heisman Tro phy winner, said he hopes Paterno is getting back to the approach Cappelletti remembers. "The temptations are there," Cappelletti said. "You've got to decide for yourself When we were in school, we could go drink, we could go party or we could toe thr line and do the right stuff and be part of the team and have some fun and win some games."

For now, Sims begins and ends his day in a two-bedroom apartment in the Nittany Apartment residence area. "I'm doing a lot of walking to work," Sims said, laughing. His office in Old Main is just a few blocks away from his apartment. Going from a 10-acre farm in Bloomington, Ind., to an apartment in State College can be a bit of a stretch, but Sims, who spent 33 years at Indiana first as a student, and then as an administrator is making it work See SIMS, Page 2 Coverage of Sims' meeting with anti sweatshop groups I NEWS, Page 3 easy access to our houses and our social scene," Will said.

People don't know or appreciate those living in the fraternity house or their property, Baker said, though he added there are many great students who choose not to be greek, and he would not encourage a policy that would completely ban independents from all greek events.

If a player got himself into trouble years ago, Paterno has said police would call him, he would bring the player to his home and run him in the morning. The public would never know. Today, though, the public knows almost instantly. Such was the case Tuesday night when Penn State Police said they found a "small amount" of marijuana at Nittany Apartment 5204.

Café reopening draws hundreds By Elizabeth Murphy COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER I eamslls@psu.edu Despite former Nittany Lion LaVar Arrington's call for "the plague," the Sports Café & Grille saw no locusts this weekend. The 244 W. College Ave. bar reopened Thursday at about 9 p.m., and saw hundreds of bar-hoppers throughout the night, said AJ Mad den, a bar manager "It's been a good weekend," Mad den said Sunday. "The reaction has been all positive." Although bar-goers responded positively to the reopening for the most part, Arrington, who had Monday, Sept. 8, 2008 An independent student doesn't have the right to attend greek parties, Baker said.

After pulling Harriott over Thursday, police administered a personal breath test and then took him to Mount Nittany Medical Center for a blood test to deter mine if he had been drinking, Penn State Police Sgt. Don Hazel said. Hazel said the results of the test were complete, but he could not release Harriott's blood alco hol content (BAC) because no charges, if any, had been filed as of Sunday afternoon. Harriott, 21, of New Haven, Conn., is also facing one count reg istration and certification required, police said. Police will consult with the district attorney's office about the BAC and then determine whether to charge Harriott with a DUI, Hazel said. Driving a 2007 Subaru, Harriott and a passenger were pulled over while sitting at a red light on Cherry Lane, off North Atherton Street, at 2:28 a.m. because offi cers noticed the vehicle's rear license was expired, Hazel said. The reserve cornerback was dis missed from the team Thursday, Joe Paterno said during his radio show. Penn State sports information director Jeff Nelson said the dismissal was a result of a violation of team rules. Harriott was charged with DUI last November after he was pulled over on North Atherton Street with a BAC of .16, police said. Harriott has since enrolled in the accelerated rehabilitative disposition program (ARD). Last August, Harriot was cited for underage drinking outside of Nittany Apartments. attempted to buy the bar from cur rent owner Kevin Anderson, was less than excited. "I hope the plague falls upon the Sports Café," he said Thursday. Arrington and his group, FA.M.M.
