It is up to the fraternity to make sure it is not serving alcohol to underage attendees. “We will not be verifying the age of a person for consuming alcohol it’s a liability issue,” said Richard Payton, a consultant for St. Moritz. The IFC is trying to standardize Student From Page 1 or a license plate number for the vehicle. They are also unsure if the driver was aware of the incident, Hazel said. Police are checking all the construction sites around cam pus to see if the vehicle is affiliated with the university, Hazel said. Penn State spokeswomen Lisa Powers said the incident is current ly under investigation by Penn State’s Environmental Health and Concert From Page 1. Though she could not disclose Flogging Molly’s opener, she did say it will be an Irish band, in keeping with the St. Patrick’s Day spirit of the event. DiGiacomo said that by keeping up with the St. Patrick’s Day spirit, Flogging Molly offers something most SPA concerts don’t. “It’s something different than we normally do since it’s geared as a St. Patrick’s Day concert,” she said. “It’s going to be a lot of fun. Flogging Molly just has a good time enforcement for all fraternities and it’s St. Moritz’s job to make sure each item on the IFC’s checklists is hit, Piarulli (senior-security and risk analysis) said. If a “special violation” occurs, the security personnel can shut down the event immediately, he said. Some party-ending violations include excessive guests, taking straight shots and fighting, he said. Otherwise, security personnel will report more minor violations to IFC officials. The average St Moritz security guard, clearly defined by his or her Safety Office as well as the Office of the Physical Plant two depart ments that oversee construction safety on campus. The two offices will work with police and speak to the student to get more details about the incident. “Contractors have a number of requirements, and the offices do job site inspections,” she said. “If the contractors are found to not be in compliance, it could terminate the contract.” Powers also said construction traffic has increased lately because with each concert they put on.” Because the concert is unique for SPA and Penn State, DiGiacomo said she thinks it will bring in a broad range of student fans. “There should be much more of a variety of audiences because it’s kind of different than most shows we put on at the HUB,” she said. Fan Zoe Yeaton (senior-psycholo gy) said the band attracts a wide variety of people. “Flogging Molly is a fairly universal band,” she said. “You can like them regardless of what type of music you like.” Yeaton said she found out by acci dent that the band was coming to Penn State —and while looking for a The Daily Collegian To e-mail reporter: evrso2B@psu.edu neon orange arm bands, is not trained to break up fights, Payton said. Monitors can call authorities when they see the need, but all other problems are to be reported back to the IFC, he said. Indeed, he would prefer if the guards were not thought of as bouncers at all. “They’re security personnel,” he said. “A bouncer is the guy in all black who’s going to throw you out and bounce you around.” To e-mail reporter: jpcs2ol@psu.edu construction on the Millennium Science Complex has required longer hours of labor. As for stu dents, paying more attention and reading the signs posted around construction sites can help prevent future incidents, she said. “I really, really encourage stu dents to be much more alert around construction sites,” Powers said. “Everyone needs to be a little more aware of traffic that’s coming through.” To e-mail reporter: gmgso4l@psu.edu Flogging Molly concert to attend with her brother, she noticed the State College stop. “It s great because I don’t have to drive anywhere,” she said. DiGiacomo said she is excited SPA has been able to book a wide variety of artists this year from Pitbull to Motion City Soundtrack and now Flogging Molly. “The point of SPA is to provide events for students to further their experiences at Penn State and to bring different varieties of artists so students can come and enjoy,” she said.
