UPUA postpones
service’s approval
By Ben Skalina and Neha Prakash
COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITERS

The University Park
Undergraduate Association (UPUA)
voted Wednesday to postpone action
on its planned legal services clinic
because of concern about its readi
ness to defend students’ rights.
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.”

Former President Bill Clinton speaks to about 2,000
people Wednesday afternoon in Rec Hall.
Bill Clinton
rallies for
final push

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 projected cost of the program
was also an issue for the delay. The
resolution describes the initial phase
of the legal services clinic as includ :

attorney, one hill

of Law. Combined
salaries for the
