The legal services clinic resolution, one of UPUA President Gavin Keirans’ main goals for the semester, was sent to its governmental affairs committee to be edited for future action. “Within UPUA, there are a lot of people who have problems with dif ferent areas,” said Ralph Crivello, rhairman of the assembly. “We want to make sure we get the system right ... will it cover DUI cases? Lots of people don’t want their student activ ity fee money going to certain things.” Abby Drey/Collegian Former President Bill Clinton speaks to about 2,000 people Wednesday afternoon in Rec Hall. Bill Clinton rallies for final push By Danielle Vickery COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER | devsolo@psu.edu At a Wednesday afternoon speech in Rec Hall, Bill Clinton said while he and Hillary are campaigning for Barack Obama on Saturdays, they have been exchanging phone calls that go something like: “Did Penn State win again?” “I think Penn State is winning for the same reason Barack Obama is winning,” said former President Bill Clinton, whose brother-in-law and father-in-law played football for the Nittany Lions. “Teamwork.” Bill Clinton, who last came to Penn State in March in support of his wife’s presidential campaign to a crowd of about 8,000, came Wednesday to stump for Democratic presidential candidate Obama in front of about 2,000. Clinton’s speech, which began almost 20 minutes early and ended eight minutes after it was scheduled to begin, came the day after Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin spoke to a crowd in Rec Hall. The scene Wednesday contrasted with the one in the same location the night before when Palin spoke, where supporters of both main party candidates had cheered for their respective candidates on opposite sides of Curtin Road. The queue for Clinton’s speech reached its max at about 2 p.m. when doors were scheduled to open. The line dissipated minutes later as people filed in, halted only by volunteers asking them to sign up for the Obama cam paign. In his speech, Clinton also emphasized volunteering and discussed the importance of Obama’s election. “You hire a president in the immortal words of our incumbent president to be the ‘Decider in Chief,’ ” he said. The president needs to have the right philosophies, the right policies and the ability to make decisions and exe cute them, Clinton said. Once you consider these three things, he said, “the answer screams out at you” He paused “Obama!” someone shouted, giving way to cheers and applause. Obama’s economic, energy, health care and education policies some of the most important issues in the elec tion —are all better than those of Republican presidential candidate John McCain, Clinton said. He said Americans have already had the opportunity to see Obama and McCain make two crucial decisions: their running mates and how to deal with the financial crisis.

The resolution describes the initial phase of the legal services clinic as includ : ing one full-time attorney, one hill time secretary and five interns from the Dickinson School of Law. Combined salaries for the attorney and the secretary are pro jected to be in Keirans between $113,000 and $143,000, according to the resolu tion. Diversity Campus Life Chairman See UPUA, Page 2.
