Sammark was granted a temporary liquor license as its appeal moved for ward in court. The temporary liquor license was taken away last summer when Sammark's former attorney missed a deadline to file a motion because of a family commitment, according to court documents. But Pellegrini ruled Aug. 24 that Sammark's appeal could continue, and Sammark hired Hoffman, according to court documents. "They'll be open for the week, but what happens after that is anybody's guess," said Darren "DJ Remedy" Donofrio, who frequently emcees at Tony's. Tony Sapia, owner of Sammark Inc., could not be reached for comment. Lions From Page 1 Pryor showed Lion fans exactly what they were missing out on in the third quarter, firing a 62-yard touch down pass to DeVier Posey near the Penn State sideline to put Ohio State up 17-7 with 1:47 to go in the frame. "It was big, because we knew they were biting up and we knew DeVier, he could run past a lot of guys," Pryor said. "I just had to move the safety a little bit to the right and we just got in. DeVier made a great catch. That's great balance and great concentration on the ball." With the way the Buckeye defense was playing, the touchdown effec tively ended the game. Ohio State held Penn State to just 201 yards of total offense, sacking quarterback Daryll Clark twice and rendering him ineffective for much of the contest. Tuition From Page 1 Association (UPUA) are taking action to ensure Penn State stu dents do not see an increase in tuition. UPUA Governmental Affairs Committee Chairwoman Colleen Smith said her committee will send letters to the majority and minority whips and Speaker of the House in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, as well as to mem bers of pertinent committees. Up to 15 members of the House could receive one of these letters, Smith (sophomore-biology) said, urging the legislators to acknowl edge the importance of education and the negative impact this impasse could have on the future of Penn State students. "This next week is going to be really critical in seeing what hap pens," Smith said. While a tuition hike next semester is possible, room and board rates are set to increase by 2.45 percent Fraternity From Page I. But on Nov. 6, a representative from the Alpha Epsilon Pi national fraternity sent a letter to Penn State Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Roy Baker stating that the national fraternity had concluded its five-day investigation and deter mined that the incidents under question had not been hazing. According to the letter, the nation al fraternity has "removed all sus pensions from the chapter and they are back to full 100% operations." psucollegian.com But no IFC executives were con tacted about the national fraterni ty's investigation or the removal of Definition From Page 1 Those in attendance at the Dec. 16 meeting included Penn State Vice President of Student Affairs Damon Sims, Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Roy Baker, Penn State attorney Wendell Courtney, State College Borough Zoning Officer Herman Slaybaugh, Borough Solicitor Terry Williams and Borough Manager Tarn Fbuntaine, among others, officials said.

A hurricane warning extended more than 200 miles of coastline from Pascagoula, Miss., east to Indian Pass, Fla. Tropical storm warnings and hurricane watches are in effect across other areas of southeastern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, including New Orleans. Louisiana's governor declared a state of emergency. 28 for 125 yards with a touchdown run and an interception. The score a 1-yard dive in the second quar ter that was upheld after review was the 21st rushing touchdown of his career, breaking Michael Robinson's school record for career rushing touchdowns by a quarter back. "There were some good plays made, and the very next play, some thing bad or something wrong would happen," Clark said. "And that kind of just sums it up for the entire game. We just weren't able to get it going on offense." Ray Small returned a pair of punts for more than 40 yards each for the Buckeyes, who scored a touchdown on each ensuing drive. Pryor was responsible for both: a 7-yard scramble to break a scoreless tie on Ohio State's second drive of the game and a 6-yard toss to running back Brandon Saine with 9:37 left that made it 24-7 to send much of the disappointed crowd home early. for fall 2010. Students will pay $lOO more for a double-occupancy room and a Level Three meal plan, said Gail Hurley, associate vice president for auxiliary and business services. This is the smallest increase in 20 years. By removing landline phone access in dorm rooms, the universi ty has saved $700,000, she said. "We're continuing to provide a high-quality experience," Hurley said. "We're making it affordable, and that has to be attractive to stu dents." Despite a decline in the economy and increasing costs, enrollment and applications to Penn State have increased. The total enrollment this fall is 94,301 students, a 2 percent increase from last year, said Robert Pangborn, vice president and dean of undergraduate education. Of those, 42,998 students are enrolled at the University Park campus, and more international and minority stu dents are enrolled than ever before, he said. Reflecting the increase in enroll- the chapter's suspension, IFC vice president for standards Chris Smith (senior-political science) and IFC President Luke Pierce (senior-eco nomics) said. "Basically, the national fraternity is claiming that they have concluded their investigation of the incident for which their new member education program was originally suspended," Smith said. "However, at no time have we been contacted during the investigation, and likewise, our own investigation has not been conclud ed yet." Smith said the IFC's suspension of the chapter was not related to any additional allegations of hazing. The IFC investigation into the incidents is still ongoing, he said. both," Sims wrote. "It is ridiculous to think that a university that can house only one-third of its under graduates on campus does not want its fraternities to succeed." The information surfaced at a hearing Friday regarding the 240 N. Burrowes Road alumni associa tion's legal battle with the university over the property rights for the 240 N. Burrowes Road house, which had been occupied by Phi Delta Theta. "If any of those alumni associa tions decide to sell their building, they wouldn't be able to sell it as a use for student housing which means no renting," 240 N. Burrowes Road alumni association attorney Bernie Cantorna said. "They're throwing this all together in hopes nobody sees it." Phi Delta Theta lost its charter in 2007 because of alcohol violations and subsequently lost university recognition. Under the proposed ordinance, it would not be able to rent the property to students, Cantorna said. "What the university does not support are failed fraternities," Sims wrote. "Where a chapter is consistently found responsible for violations related to underage drink- THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Authorities said Ida could make landfall as early as Tuesday morning, although it was forecast to weaken by then. Officials and residents kept a close eye on the Category 2 hurricane as it approached, though there were no immediate plans for evacua tions. Sunday night, Ida was located 400 miles south-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River and moving north-northwest near 14 mph. The latest forecast from the National Hurricane Center shows Ida brushing near Louisiana and Mississippi, then making landfall near Alabama before continuing across north Florida. "We thought all of that white was cheering for us since we were wear ing white," Buckeye coach Jim Tressel said of the white-clad fans. "It was kind of nice." All that remained was the travel ing Ohio State contingent, sounding much like the lowa fans who six weeks earlier had made themselves right at home in Beaver Stadium's northeast corner following the Hawkeyes' 21-10 win over the Lions. Like lowa, Ohio State had muted one of the more hostile crowds in the country. And, like the Hawkeyes, the Buckeyes are now in a winner-take all showdown for the Big Ten title and its accompanying Rose Bowl berth next Saturday in Columbus, Ohio. With the conference title out of the picture, Penn State (8-2, 4-2) can only hope the 301st game in Beaver Stadium goes much better than the 300th. To e-mail reporter: mjfs2l7@psu.edu ment, Penn State received 109,031 applications for the fall semester, said Anne Rohrbach, executive director of undergraduate admis sions. Beyond the set agenda, trustees discussed major problems facing students during the fall semester. Calling binge drinking the "single greatest challenge facing higher education," Spanier said everyone must help to solve this problem. "I don't know if we can change the world, but we are trying," he said. Trustees also asked Spanier about the status of the HINI virus on campus. After more than 2,000 cases and four hospitalizations at Penn State, Spanier said the num ber of infected students appears to be leveling off. The average number of cases is currently 250 per week, though the rate decreased last week, he said. He urged students to get vaccinat ed. To e-mail reporters: arbs3o7@psu.edu, amjsls2@psu.edu, Icnsol9@psu.edu "As a result of the discrepancies in the investigations, we put the chap ter on suspension today," Smith said on Sunday. "The chapter has violated the terms of their original suspension. That's why they're on full suspen sion now" The chapter and its new member program are now effectively under two separate IFC suspensions, Smith said. He would not elaborate on how the fraternity had violated the first suspension. A representative of Alpha Epsilon Pi's national fraternity was not available for comment by press time Sunday. To e-mail reporter: casssos@psu.edu mg or hazing or public nuisance, for instance, we doubt that it is adding value to the student experience." Interfraternity Council President Luke Pierce (senior-economics) declined comment. Slaybaugh said he was originally against the proposed rooming ordi nance but ultimately changed his mind because current laws for off campus fraternities already have the same restrictions. In addition to the rooming house amendment, the new legislation changes the word "affiliate" to - recognition," which means frater nities without Penn State recogni tion could not house students. Slaybaugh said the judge stated that the borough's legislation was not clear enough and ought to be modified. Slaybaugh said he initiat ed the conversations with the uni versity. Centre County Judge David E. Grine told Cantorna on Friday that he must formally submit a request to have the evidence considered for the association's case to appeal the Zoning Hearing Board. Cantorna plans to submit that request today. To e-mail reporter: kncso63@psu.edu
