By Greg Galiffa COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER A 37-year-old State College woman told the State College Police Department on Tuesday that someone she knows raped her at her apartment on the 100 block of East Beaver Avenue, police said. Authorities said a friend of the woman filed the initial report at about 5 p.m. Monday after being informed of the incident by the woman involved. Following the report, police con- Athletes From Page 1 Accompanying Miller will be jun ior midfielder Megan Monroig of the soccer team, senior golfer Lindsay Cullen and junior saber Lee Valigorsky of the fencing team. SAAB’s role in supporting THON has increased during the years, Miller said, including canning at events and hosting a volleyball tour nament refereed by the women’s volleyball team. SAAB has had representatives dance for a few years, including a couple of Miller's former team mates. And just as she has supported her teammates in the past, Miller said her team is ready to support her now. “Everyone’s excited to dance at the pep rally,” she said. "They’re excited to keep me going over the weekend.” Valigorsky said her teammates and coaches have also been sup portive even with THON falling in the middle of the fencing season. But Valigorsky lucked out: Her team is off this weekend, giving her the opportunity to dance and not miss any competition. But if she had to make the choice between THON and fencing, Valigorsky admitted it would be a struggle. “I’ve really gotten involved in SAAB and being a rep for our team,” Valigorsky’ said. “I would've done it and taken myself out for the weekend and still danced in THON. This is one of those things where it’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of chance.” Valigorsky hasn’t done anything physically to prepare for THON but fully expects the challenge to lie in the mental aspect. Monroig agreed and said she doesn’t expect the physical aspect of THON to affect her much. But she is preparing and fully Donations From Page 1 Regional Public Relations Specialist for the American Red Cross Tara Harrington said. “We need every donor of every blood type and ethnicity to come out and support area hospitals to raise the inventory,” she said. “We are now hoping for the best.” Penn State students said they have begun to notice fewer donors. At a recent blood drive, Liz Wallander who is a donor and UPUA From Page l Instead, the report said, the main issue was a “lack of initial planning.” Smith (sophomore-biology) was placed in charge of overseeing the opening and operation of the office after the $5,200 initiative was approved by UPUA last spring. She explained to Sheroff her efforts to organize an open house and events to promote the office, but the plans for a promotional event were postponed three times. This delay, combined with the leg islative delay within UPUA of pass ing guidelines for the office in October, contributed to the lag in ultimately executing the initiative as planned, the report said. Crawford also cited these sched uling conflicts regarding attempts to hold an open house for the center when talking to Sheroff Three Days Grace From Page 1 get the band’s new album, “Life Starts Now,” by any means possible. “I don’t care if you buy it, bum it or f—king steal it,” Gontier said. “Just get it.” Opening the concert was Flyleaf fronted by Lacey Mosley, who wore a red dress over a pair of jeans and proudly showered the crowd with her vocal prowess.

Dana Leonard. Police said alcohol was not a fac tor in the incident. Police did not release more details on the report because the investigation is ongoing. To e-mail reporter: gmgso4l@psu.edu expecting for something else. “I have myself prepared to break down and cry at least once." she said. “I’m extremely nervous. I'm afraid I’m not gonna make it. because I love napping." Her teammates have been very supportive of her, Monroig said, and she has friends coming from home to help her stay awake. Knowing her support is there is also going to be a big help, she said. Each of the athletes cited differ ent reasons for dancing in THON. but all come back to the theme the cause. "I'm dancing in THON. as cliche as it sounds, for the kids," Miller said. “It brings so much joy to see a smile on a kids face and know that that one moment, they’re forgetting all their problems. If they can be challenged like that, why not dance for them?” Valigorsky. though, sees it a little differently. “I think I'm almost doing it to see if I’m strong enough to do it." she said. “These kids go through so much, and they're in pain constant ly, and for 46 hours I want to see if I can do it. If I can't. I really don't know how they do it." Whatever their motivation, these four student-athletes are ready for a moment unlike anything they've experienced on the field or in the gym or on the green. And no matter what happens throughout their ath letic careers, they expect this week end to stack right up there with the best memories they've made in uni form. “This is definitely going to be one of my top [moments]," Monroig said. “Absolutely right up there with what I’ve done with soccer, and win ning big games or the heartbreak of losing big games. I'll never forget it. I will cherish the memory forever and ever and hopefully tell my grandkids' grandkids." To e-mail reporter: kabs2ol@psu.edu member of the Penn State Student Red Cross Club said she was stunned to see the unusual empti ness of Paul Robeson Cultural Center’s Heritage Hall. “There is no one here, but I’m able and willing, so why not donate to save lives?" Wallander (sophomore-nutrition) said. All blood drives running through February are part of an on-going, partnership with the Interfratemity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, sending a $4 donation to the Penn State Hershey Four Diamonds Rind for every blood Additionally, Karasik and Cannon defended Smith’s handling of the ini tiative, with Karasik saying this responsibility “fell into Colleen’s lap” and Cannon saying she “did everything she could” to execute it. From this point, the report said, UPUA will increase promotional efforts surrounding the office and possibly establish the position of “Director of Off-Campus Affairs” to allow a more singular focus on this and similar issues. An evaluation of the office will be provided at the end of the semester. UPUA also unanimously approved its opposition to the State College Borough Council’s proposed plan to turn off the lights on Garner Street for a trial period, calling the initiative “troubling.” The 29 street lights which span the stretch of Gamer Street between Beaver and Hamilton avenues were imple mented five years ago to increase safety in the area. Since their imple- self-titled and recent album, “Memento Mori,” Mosley twirled like a ballerina as the band’s gui tarists jumped spastically on stage. Before playing “Arise,” Mosley told the crowd that they should reach for their dreams. “Just because we’re standing on the stage doesn’t make us better than anyone else in this room,” Mosley said to a cheering crowd. “Arise and be all that you’d dream.” Still, Flyleaf wasn’t heavy enough for Jon Rooker, a Williamsport native. Rooker, who said he came to see Breaking Benjamin, said Flyleaf was “pretty good,” but he started falling asleep. The Daily Collegian THON From Page 1 to see how it impacts them during their difficult times and the entire 46 hours." Mark McCuen (sophomore-ele mentary education) said he has sorted mail a couple hours a day for the past two weeks and loved every second of it. "From the beginning of the year when I found this committee does Mail Call, I couldn’t wait to get in the mailroom and start sorting the mail," McCuen said. "To get to this point now, where everything we’ve worked for is paying off and to see the looks on the dancers’ faces when they get the mail is just an amazing feeling." Stephen Alesi (junior-informa tion, sciences and technology), who is dancing on behalf of La Vie, has seen the Interfraternity Couneil/Panhellenic Dance Marathon and Mail Call from a variety of perspectives. He’s expecting Mail Call to bring him motivation in the final hours of THON and is looking forward to getting packages from home., “You're on your feet without sleep for a long time, so when you have words of support from your friends and family, it'll help you get through that last portion of THON," Alesi said. Though dancer mail is accepted from Jan. 18 on, Morale Captain Liz Cartwright (senior-criminal justice) said the mailroom doesn’t get busy until dancers are announced. A short distance down the hall, a "Welcome to the jungle" sign on the door precedes the mounds of dancer packages lining every wall and a large portion of the floor. This year's Mail Call has a safari theme, so construction paper giraffes, zebras and monkeys dot the walls of the dancer package room, peering over the mounds of boxes wrapped in Sesame Street and Transformers paper. Hula hoops are visible through the piles of decorated boxes and bubbles, plastic water guns and whirligigs peek out from Superman, dinosaur and star gift bags. Among the stranger gifts are three coconuts and a spare tire. McCuen experienced his first Mail Call last year when he was on the floor with three of his friends j who were dancing. They were the happiest he's ever seen anyone. "It’s incredible to be standing by their side as they see all their friends and family show how much they care in the form of letters,” he said. Cartwright said she loves sort ing mail and can't wait for moralers to experience it. "It's amazing," she said. “All this mail is gone. Poof! It's like magic.” To e-mail reporter: svpso7l@psu.edu donor. But even with THON as an incentive, it seems the snow has been too much of an obstacle for some students, Wallander said. "Last year, THON weekend was crazy." she said. "I’m hoping we will have the same outcome this year.” And leaders are encouraging stu dents to donate blood. "The Penn State community needs to come together for a com mon good,” said Jenn Schweighauser. Penn State Student Red Cross Club president. “Show your support of THON and give the gift of life.” mentation, however, some residents who live nearby have expressed opposition, saying the lights are too bright and encourage loitering. One solution included turning the lights off temporarily and monitor ing any effect this has on the area. Smith, who authored the policy outlining UPUA's opposition said using human subjects in a test is ever a good idea. On Friday, the Borough Council will address the concerns, and State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham said she hopes to see the sides compromise. “I think we need lights on Garner, it’s an important path ... but the intent of the lights have become problem for neighbors because it seems to lure people in as opposed to lighting their way,” she said. “We want to make sure the people who are on foot are a safe in their path and the neighbors are able to sleep.” To e-mail reporter: cmms773@psu.edu “I’ve just known them for a really long time, and I have all their old music,” Rooker said of Breaking Benjamin. “I don’t know a bad song by them." Also making appearance at the show were the effects of alcohol, which caused a fight near Rooker and his friend Justin Snyder, also of Williamsport. “The people started arguing,” Snyder said. “And the drunk guy in the back punched the other guy in the face.” The men were quickly escorted from their seats.
