Cheney has a history of heart problems and has a pacemaker. From sexting to one night stands, nothing was off limits on Monday night during “Sex Chronicles: Passageways to Pleasure.” Hosted by the Mu Eta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., the event was part of the sorority’s annual Finer Womanhood Week. About fifty men and woman gath ered in the Pollock Cultural Lounge to talk openly about their personal experiences with sex and the oppo site gender. Shanice Barnum (senior-supply chain and information systems) and Tamiqua Taffe (sophomore human development and family studies) were moderators for the event. psucullegian.com Rossilynne Skena Andrew McGill Matt Brown ...Mandy Hofmockel Alex Weisler Caitlin Sellers Erin Rowley Elizabeth Murphy Lexi Belculfine .Heather Schmelzlen Kevin Cirilli Katherine Dvorak Adam Clark Dave Miniaci .Dan Rorabaugh Matt Fortuna ■Matt Conte, Nate Mink Phenola Lawrence Abby Drey Michael Felletter .Holly Colbo By Associated Press Writers In 2008, doctors restored a normal Sorority hosts talks on sex, relationships By Lauren Ingeno COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER They provided the attendees with scenarios and questions to spark discussion. Though students were shy to answer the first question about how relationships start on campus, one brave woman eventually called out, "casual sex!” and the room erupted in a conversation about one night stands on campus and how women are often criticized for Bars From Page 1 She did not have to “twist any one’s arm" in the Tavern Association when it came time to make their decision. “We are members of the commu nity, and something that promotes heavy, excessive drinking, we do not support,” Zangrelli said. One bar owner considered stay ing closed the entire day to make a statement about the event, Alessandrine said. In a perfect world, this year would Dancers From-Page 1 one thing she had been missing for more than a week. “I had a big mug of coffee. I was a pretty much self-described caffeine addict, and I stopped caffeine only a week before THON. It wasn’t the best thing I ever tasted but it def initely tasted good and felt good,” she said. But Jonathan Shuff, a dancer for the Institute of Industrial CATA From Page 1. the south side of Curtin Road and so little on the north side, we could even things out,” Mose said. Students who catch the bus at Pattee Library said they have noticed the problem, too. “[The Pattee stop] and Allen Street stop are probably the worst ones to catch a bus,” Tony Madonna (senior-journalism) said. But he is more concerned by changes CATA has made in off-cam pus routes. The new N and V routes have Basketball From Page 1 And not only do games attract people of all ages, but Bobby Laraway (junior-life sciences) said it’s fun for anyone, whether you’re into sports or not. “They kept score and had refs, but I think it was more just to get a smile out of the audience,” he said, adding that the games are very entertain ing and keep people on their feet with the players’ jokes, tricks and moves. But Branch said players don’t like to consider their skills to be “tricks” he prefers “amazing ball han dling.” All seasoned athletes in their own right, each player is known for his game-time name and something special he does on the floor. So where does Branch’s nick- rhythm to his heart with an electric shock. It was the second time in less than a year that Cheney had experienced and also been treated for an atrial fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm involving the upper chambers of the heart. Cheney has had four heart attacks, starting when he was 37. He has had quadruple bypass surgery and two artery-clearing angioplas ties. In 2001, he had a special pace maker implanted in his chest. The pacemaker’s battery was replaced last year, and then the entire device was replaced. The former vice president has kept a high profile since leaving the “A lot of people don’t express their emotions freely.” admitting to having multiple sex partners. “I was always told 'don’t ask ques tions you don’t want* to know the answers to’,” Keiwana Jones, advi sor for the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), said to the crowd. “I don’t care about how many partners a man has had. I care about the last time they had an AIDS test.” The discussion remained enthusi astic between the men and women as many of their opinions differed. Some men even jokingly headed for the door in fear when the "call him out” section of the program came. “Girls and guys are both really frank, but the guys are always out numbered here, so we really have to be careful with what we sav" Ugochukwu Onyianta (senior-sports broadcast journalism) said. Michael Capehart (senior-health policy and administration) said that be the last for State Patty’s Day, he said. “There are other traditions we can be more proud of and that have a better economic impact," Alessandrine said. Some members of Penn State stu dent government are glad to see downtown bars making an effort to end the holiday. “We're moving in the right direc tion,” said Christian Ragland, University Park Undergraduate Association student life and diversi ty chairman. “This is a good sign from a community and a student standpoint we're on the same Engineers, said he was still plagued by terrible foot pain on Monday. Shuff (senior-industrial engineer ing) said when he went home, he didn’t know if he would be able to stand in the shower, so he took a bath and then slept for 18 hours. But the pain in his feet was a small price to pay for a great cause, he said. Emily Foglia, Shuff’s moraler. said after spending about 33 hours at THON, it was nice to get sleep. And the breaks between her shifts were imperative in allowing her to keep Shuff going. made it more difficult for him to go off campus, and he thinks it only caused more congestion at on-cam pus stops. CATA is also considering expand ing the N and V routes to accommo date the overflow of outbound riders in the evening, Mose said. Some seniors see that as too little, too late. Other riders complained of especially long lines in the early morning and around student hous ing areas. Mose acknowledged these prob lems at the public hearing and said he is considering expanding routes to allow riders to get to work or class name “Hot Shot” come from? “I tell them not to look it’s the way I shoot the basketball,” Branch said. And attendees are in for a treat if they like dunks, Punt said. “These guys can fly,” he said. “It’s as close as you can get to the NBA slam dunk contest.” Punt said Globetrotters games are unique to the BJC. Instead of using a stage, they use the basket ball court, making more seats avail able. They’re also different from regu lar basketball games, featuring plenty of fun at halftime and time outs, as well as crowd interaction and dancing. “There’s a reason why this is their 10th time they’ve been here in our 14-year history they’re very popu lar,” he said. But though they’ve been here ten times, there might be an added The Daily Collegian White House. He has sparred with the Obama administration about its plans to close the U.S. detention facility for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and hold the trials of several high-profile detainees in civilian courts rather than military tribunals. He made a surprise appearance last week at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where he accompanied his daughter Liz. He was greeted with chants of "Run, Dick, Run," but said “I am not going to do it." Among his extensive government service, Cheney served as defense secretary under President George H.W Bush. William Dennis senior-energy, business and finance the event was very mature and intel ligent. "It wasn't a male bashing or female bashing thing at all,” Capehart said. One topic that most everyone could agree about was the annoy ance of people discussing sex on Facebook or other social networking sites. "I hate when guys or girls com plain about their relationships in their Facebook statuses,” Onyianta said, arousing laughter and applause from the room. The attendees all seemed to enjoy the diverse stories and responses throughout the night. "A lot of people don't express their emotions freely." William Dennis ( senior-energy, business, and finance' said. "The fact that people were so open really made me have a newfound respect for them.” To e-mail reporter: ImlsolB@psu.edu page in terms of what we want to see in terms of safety.” Ragland (junior-political science) said he spoke with State College Borough Manager Tom Fountaine, who told him some businesses choose not to open their establishments at all on State Patty's Day due to unwanted traffic downtown. That's unfortunate, Alessandrine said. "People shouldn’t have to close their business to make a state ment." he said. To e-mail reporter: Icnsol9@psu.edu "It was hard, because you can’t do a lot." Foglia (junior-statistics) said. "You can't say, ‘Let’s sit down or go to sleep.' ” She also felt the strain THON had taken on her body and needed to go to sleep afterwards for about 13 hours. "It's the best sleep that you’ll ever get. because you went through so many emotions in the last 46 hours,” Foglia said. “You're the happiest you've ever been." To e-mail reporter: jpcs2ol@psu.edu by 7:30 a.m. instead of the current 8 a.m. There were very few complaints about overall CATA service at the public hearing. Only Jolly Harris, of Bellefonte, offered suggestions for improving CATA, but even he said the transit authority offers an “excellent level of service.” Mose said CATA always wel comes suggestions for service improvement, but said he takes the low number of complaints at the hearing as a sign CATA is doing a good job of serving the community.

Punt alluded to “guest appearances” on the court, though he wouldn’t elaborate. But in the end, Branch said all the Globetrotters really care about is bringing families together at the games. “No one that has ever been to our game has remembered the final score they just remember how much fun it was to see us,” he said.
