The Facilities Fee Committee now has
the full support of the student government
and can vote on the proposal that could
create up to 10 new intramural fields.
The University Park Undergraduate
Association (UPUA) voted to back the deci
sion made last week by the Facilities Fee
Committee to move forward with one of
the plans to use some of the money collect
ed by the Facilities Fee.
Director of Campus Planning and
Design for the Office of Physical Plant
Gordon Turow presented the preliminary
plans for the IM fields if the plan is voted
into action by the committee.
The fields. Turow said, would be con

couldn't give a specific figure
as to how much tuition may

Penn State President Graham
Spanier along with the presi
dents of Temple and Lincoln and
the chancellor of Pitt co-signed
a letter to Pennsylvania House
Speaker Keith McCall, D-Carbon,
urging him and other legislators
to provide the universities'
expected appropriations. The
appropriations for the four
schools are expected to total
almost $6BO million, said Gary
Tuma. press secretary for Gov. Ed
Re ndell.

UPUA voted Wednesday night to
support construction of intramural
fields, which would be funded by
the facilities fee and likely located
near the current fields.

Student-formed intramural teams, club

major groups to use the field, Throw said.

plan to begin mailing spring
semester bills on Nov. 13, giving
legislators only eight more days
to allow table games like poker
and blackjack in casinos.
"To get the bills out and have
them paid in time for the spring
semester, it's a pretty tight time

State appropriations provide
more than 20 percent of the
income in Penn State's 2008-2009

to the University Budget Office.

win 27th World Series
For Chase Utley and the Phillies, it was a
frustrating end to another scintillating sea
son. Philadelphia fell two wins short of
becoming the first NL team to repeat as
World Series champions since the 1975-76
Cincinnati Reds.
Ryan Howard's sixth-inning homer came
too late to wipe away his World Series
slump, and Phillies pitchers rarely man
aged to slow Matsui and the Yankees'
machine.
In a fitting coincidence, this champi
onship came eight years to the day after the
Yankees lost Game 7 of the 2001 World
Gov. Ed Rendell said it would be
irresponsible to release state funds
without a way to replenish them.
