Council requests public hearings By Nathan Pipenberg COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER The State College Borough Council voted 4-2 Monday night to push a trio of ordinances reg ulating Penn State fraternities to a May 3 public hearing. The ordinances include one defining the definition of a frater nity, one banning rooming hous es on campus and a temporary use provision (TUP) allowing disbanded fraternities to be repopulated as rooming houses for two years while the fraternity regroups. Council members agreed that of the three ordinances, the TUP is the one that remains contro versial, with council president Ron Filippelli and council mem ber Theresa Lafer voting not to send it to the hearing with the other two ordinances. Filippelli voted to send the provision back to the State College Planning Commission because there were still changes he would like to see like requiring an on-site manager in rooming houses rather than one within 25 miles, as the ordinance currently states. Lafer voted not to send the TUP to a public hearing because she has received complaints from community members in See COUNCIL Page 2. "I'm baffled with awesome ness." Brandon Wolf.

Clark bunks with former QB coach, family By Audrey Snyder COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER Jay Paterno said he was busy working when he glanced at his cell phone and found a brief text message from Daiyll Clark. “25!” the text read. Paterno knew exactly what his former quarterback was talking about. “I texted him back, and I don’t want to tell you what I texted him, because it was not good,” Paterno joked. “I was not happy.” Paterno and his family opened their house to Clark about a month ago, allowing the NFL draft hopeftil to sleep in their basement while he continues training at Penn State. _ The quarterback coach said it’s been great having Clark around as long as he stops beating each.

Page 2 UPUA transitions to future assembly By Paige Minemyer COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER Looking out at a room full of his fellow student leaders, UPUA President Gavin Keirans thanked the fourth assembly for its work over the course of the academic year. “It's not where we are that matters, it’s where we’re going," Keirans (senior-business man agement) said. “It’s now up to you to lead.” Keirans was the first of several speakers at the University Park Undergraduate Association's (UPUA) transition dinner Monday night. The dinner offi cially marks the end of the fourth Paterno’s records on Wii, like the 25 he put up in the 3-point shootout. Any more texts about Clark besting him in video games and their friendship might quickly turn south, Paterno joked. “He can come and go as he wants, but if he breaks any more of my records in the Wii game, I’m done,” he said. “Literally, he's out.” Since Clark finished school in December, the idea to stay with Paterno’s family was initially offered to him when he was in Florida training for the NFL Scouting Combine. Clark was told there was extra space in Paterno’s basement, and staying and training at Penn State was ideal because of the availability of top-notch facilities.

Keirans recapped his two-year presidency and commended the other members of UPUA for their efforts during his two terms, especially the other students on his executive board. “We sought to create the greatest executive board in the history of student government,” he said. A formal dinner preceded Keirans’ presentation. After his remarks, each of the committee chairs spoke about their commit tees and gave advice to newcom ers to UPUA.

FRASER CENTRE Work set to begin The center will include a cinema, retail stores and high-end housing. By Megan Rogers COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER Construction on the downtown Fraser Centre condominium/entertainment complex is set to begin almost exactly one year after the origi nal date. Code requirement setbacks and a souring economy have contributed to the delayed con struction of the complex, which was initially proposed in 2004, Susquehanna Real Estate President Jack Kay said. The complex to be located at the corner of West Beaver Avenue and Fraser Street will include high-end condominiums on the top floors, with office and retail space and a movie theater on the bottom floors. The condo miniums, which cost anywhere from $300,000 to $1.5 million, are not being sold to students, Kay said. But before Susquehanna Real Estate calls in the construction workers to begin the year-long building process, the company must first secure payment for at least 75 percent of the available space. Fraser Centre is close to reaching that percentage, though Kay didn't specify how close. “Despite the economic chal lenges there is still a lot of sup port and interest and we hope to be getting started on it," Kay said. Some students said selling the condominiums to students would have helped the apart ments fill up more quickly. Penn State Off-Campus Student Union President Bobby Ryan said the location is perfect for students. “It would greatly benefit the See FRASER CENTER. Page 2.
