Specifically, a fellow candidate Sean Goheen testified he saw another student —outside of the hearing confirmed by Adewumi to be Justin Ogden, a friend of the candidate's from Campus Crusade for Christ run from the Visual Arts Building to Deike Building, carrying a flag that read "David Adewumi for UPUA President." In the case against his cam paign, Adewumi defended himself to the Board. "See how many people are wearing the name of a football player, that doesn't mean that foot ball player is responsible for what they're doing," Adewumi said. "Neither candidate, myself or Devin, had any knowledge of cam paign staff and don't accept responsibility because we weren't part of planning or execution of said events." The Board determined, accord ing to the 2010 Elections Code, only violations on the part of cam paign staff or candidates are eligi ble to be considered as penalties against campaigns. Additionally, the Board ruled Adewumi's case didn't show evidence of "intention al failure" on the part of the Adewumi-Weakland campaign to comply with code in other words, that Adewumi did not have knowledge the individual was plan ning to publicize his name. A similar two-part case was brought against Christian Ragland (junior-political science) and Colleen Smith (sophomore-biolo gy), and for this hearing, Sam Loewner represented the Ragland-Smith campaign. The Ragland-Smith campaign was accused of two separate inci dents, both involving students who acted on behalf of Ragland and Smith tampering with From Page 1 biology) on Sunday, prompting Adewumi (junior-Spanish) to accuse his opposition of being stu dent government royalty "It's an election, not a corona tion," he said.

Fraternity members pitched ideas in an open-forum style meet ing and asked for Sims' advice on many topics, from philanthropies and intramural sports to outside organizations the fraternity is involved with, Maiello said. "Damon was very helpful with everything," he said, "I think it was more than we expected." Andrew Mackowski, a member of Alpha Phi Delta fraternity, said he was most surprised by the will ingness of Sims and the university to work with students.

"I think that's what you would call a successor," Ragland said. Both tickets were asked a series of questions dealing with a variety of campaign topics including aca demic reforms, diversity issues and town-and-gown relations. Ragland and Smith emphasized their combined four years of UPUA experience as key to being strong leaders if elected. Adewumi said his opposition has few tangible successes to show for their years in UPUA. "You have all these years of experience, but what have you accomplished in those years?" he said.

You're not going to hear them play a song you're going to recognize," Sullivan said. "That's what's most amazing you can see that they can create music from tapping or hitting or banging or stomping or clapping, and it just makes a whole different world of music that you might not have heard before." Adewumi campaign materials. For the first incident, Adewumi himself testified that on March 22, he saw a student wearing a Ragland-Smith campaign T-shirt carrying a "crumpled-up" Adewumi campaign poster when he was coming out of a classroom in Thomas Building. Adewumi said he approached the individual and had a brief exchange but the indi vidual did not identify himself. Adewumi's field organizer, Saury Mejia (freshman-political science) testified as a witness to the second incident, which occurred in Willard Building on March 25. Mejia said he spent the night of March 24 hanging up Adewumi campaign posters, but received a call from Adewumi the next day saying they had been removed. The Board determined Ragland- Smith not guilty in the incident due to lack of evidence. Loewner upheld that in the first instance, the campaign T-shirts were available to anyone at one of Ragland-Smith's campaign meet ings, and anyone could have taken the shirts. Loewner also said both witness es against Ragland-Smith had a "vested interest" in the Adewumi campaign, and therefore were not a fair account of the alleged actions. The Board ultimately decided not to issue any penalty against the Ragland-Smith cam paign, instead saying the Elections Code is "frustratingly vague." After the verdicts were issued, Miller explained the Elections Commission felt it important to take all allegations seriously, espe cially in order to send a clear mes sage that the actions in question were against policy. Ragland and Smith, who were present at the hearing, said though they felt the allegations against them were unfair, the Board handled the situation fairly To e-mail reporter: cmmB26o@psu.edu how much focus they would put on UPUA should they be elected, including potentially dropping out of other student organizations to dedicate more time to UPUA. Both tickets said time-manage ment was a key skill for their future presidency. Ragland said he would be willing to focus solely on UPUA if he is elected president. "I see the role of the UPUA pres idency to be engaged in all aspects of student life," he said. Adewumi also said he would be willing to give up some of his corn mitments and time for UPUA. The two tickets did agree on some issues, namely academic reform plans. Both sides said they'd like to continue UPUA's book exchange, though Adewumi called the current interface "unus able." They also came together on diversity issues, with both tickets emphasizing the need to reach out to international students. In their closing statements, both tickets gave the final word on their views of the presidency. Ragland emphasized his cam paign's focus of "bringing student government back to the student body" Adewumi said a conversation with Ragland before candidacies were announced inspired him to run for the presidency, and is ask ing students to "believe in we."

Maiello said he would like to see other fraternities follow Alpha Phi Delta's lead in meeting with the university. "We are in sync with the university," Maiello said. "It's good to know we're going in the same direction." It wasn't just about opening lines of communication though. Fraternity member J.B. Wawrzyniak said there was a lot of potential for other fraternities and students groups in meeting with university administrators. "Other organizations should really take advantage of the guid ance he offered," said Wawrzyniak (senior-security risk analysis) said. To e-mail reporter: kmws34o@psu.edu All the hitting and stomping is taxing on the bodies of each show's eight performers, Brown said, so some people alternate. Since the shows are a combination of dance, music and acting, the cast is a "hodgepodge" of many types of performers. And a STOMP audience is just as diverse Sullivan said show goers include families, students and even grandmothers. Performances have always sold out or come close, and Sullivan said students should call Eisenhower to make sure tickets are still available before coming to the show.

Police did not specify the gender of her attacker. Police did not say if the woman is a Penn State student or if alcohol was involved. The incident is currently under investigation, and no further details could be provided, police said. To e-mail reporter: gmgso4i@psu.edu Cracks From Page 1 uplifting is caused by a chemical reaction between the gravel and subsurface moisture, though the root cause is still being investigated. The building, which is four years old relatively young for structural damage to surface had its floor sawed up in June of 2009 to investi gate the issue, Director of Penn State's School of Fbrest Resources Mike Messina said. Though he doesn't know how much it will cost to fix the building, Messina said the university has no intention of paying administra tors expect the contractor to assume responsibility. If the compa ny does not agree to compensate Penn State for the damage, the uni versity will likely file a lawsuit, he said. "If you bought a new car and three years later the engine died, you'd hope GM or Toyota would fix the car," he said. He said OPP officials were aware of the cracking more than 15 months ago when he first became director, but because of "conflicting opinions" regarding the cause of the damage, further investigation was required. Because the building is not con sidered a safety threat, no classes have been relocated. In January, the building will be repaired as part of a seven-month process. While it is fairly easy to find alter native locations on campus to accommodate lectures, finding lab locations is a greater challenge, Messina said. Students will likely attend labs in the Life Sciences Building next year until the repairs are complete. Ruskin does not expect other buildings on campus to be at risk, including the neighboring Business Building To e-mail reporter: lqsso76@psu.edu Passover From Page 1 suffering of the Hebrew slaves. Co-religious chair of Hillel, Samuel Werner (sophomore-engi neering science) began the celebra tion with Hebrew readings and prayers, as students followed along in their Haggadah, a Jewish reli gious text that sets the order for the Seder. After the readings, students flocked to the Kosher meal of matzah ball soup, salad, broccoli, and chicken. For the next eight days, many Jewish students will be giving up bread products and going Kosher for Passover. For Beth Mormer, who grew up in a predominantly Jewish area, it will be more difficult to keep up with the diet while at Penn State. "At home everyone's doing it," Mormer (freshman-division of undergraduate studies) said. "It'll be a lot easier to slip up at school." Penn State has taken steps to ensure Jewish students can find Kosher items while on campus. For the third year in a row, the uni versity has offered full Kosher meals for Passover in Waring Commons, said Aaron Kaufman, the executive director of Hillel. "It's really great that Penn State makes that possible," Kaufman said. "We're hopeful that the program will be long term." The students ate their Kosher meal which was prepared entire 1y by about a dozen students in five days with laughter and in good spirits. "I've always grown up with Seders in my house but rm excit ed to be here with my friends and have a different experience," said Jen Recant (sophomore-elementary education). They may have not been home, but the in the company of the Penn State Jewish community, students felt just as welcome. To e-mail reporter: ImlsolB@psu.edu
