Bob Angelino and his family drove to Altoona from Washington, D.C., to catch Strasburg pitch and see the future of their franchise in person, bringing their trademark Nationals sign with them. “It was a good thing for Washington,” Angelino said. “Our pitching is suspect, and this is a great future for us.” Walking out to the mound in front of a packed stadium with pockets of red-clad Nationals fans, Strasburg called the mood in the park “a great atmosphere.” While the game and the win won’t matter once he is called up, for one day, the pitcher felt Adam Clark Dave Miniaci .Dan Rorabaugh Holly Colbo .Kelsey Thompson By Jessica Uzar COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER By Sophia Tareen ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER cultures. “It’s just so cool to come here and see all these cultures mixing,” Carly Bruski, Class of 2006, said. “Everyone seems so relaxed and at home.” The menu for the night reflected many of the cultures represented Chinese, Indian, Korean and Middle Eastern foods, among oth ers, were ordered from local inter national restaurants.

And despite an orientation for all players Friday night, zombie Adam Cochrane said some people had trouble adapting to Penn State’s way of playing. “A lot of people are discovering that the way they played at their schools doesn’t work as well here,” Cochrane (sophomore-public rela tions) said. Matthew Mols, another HvZ play er, attributed the differences to the fact that Penn State’s version of the game is more zombie-oriented, “Unstoppable.” The performer told the audience Penn State was the “illest” school in the country. “Penn State, I feel like I’m home, baby,” he said, prompting his third song of the night, “Uptown.” After a rendition of Three 6 Mafia’s “Stay Fly,” Drake told a story about Lil Wayne. “Oh, if you don’t know, my broth er’s Lil Wayne,” he joked. Drake said he wanted to make Penn State crazy for Lil Wayne and sang his song “I’m Goin’ In.” Errin Bruner, of Tyrone, said he has been coming to concerts at the extra excitement about a seemingly routine start. “It’s an amazing feeling to have your first outing in front of a sell-out crowd with all the attention and everything,” Strasburg said. “It made it seem like this was one of the biggest games of my life when it was actually the fourth game of the sea son.” While a majority of the fans came specifically for Strasburg, the Curve faithful were in attendance and impressed by the turnout. Bob Patterson, a ticket holder for all 12 years of the Curve’s existence, said the crowd was good for Altoona and it wouldn’t hurt having a few thou sand extra people in the stands.

Typically, the organization breaks even on ticket sales, but this year the university donated the Alumni Hall space. Two students from the ISC were the emcees for the night David Morar (graduate studies interna tional affairs) and Miah Cunningham (junior-communica tion arts and sciences). “It’s one of the most prolific stu dent organizations because the base is so big,” Morar said. “The event is one of the things students can rally around.” To e-mail reporter: jlul2s@psu.edu way to Katyn to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the massacre there of thousands of Polish officers by Soviet forces. Weigand said the crash makes her want to go to Poland, while her 88- year-old mother hasn’t been able to talk about the tragedy at all.

Families of Polish descent packed churches in Chicago, London and elsewhere. lengths to contribute to the event, such as holding additional fundrais ers or decorating their tents. After the event wrapped up, Newcomb said she was proud of the determination all participants showed in not letting the weather or other obstacles get in their way. “This is the best relay that we’ve had. Penn State students are crazy, and they stuck through the sleet and the hail,” Newcomb said. “These are people who are dedicated to the cause ... and their dedication shows through when they stand outside and walk through the sleet and snow at 3 a.m.” To e-mail reporter: cmms773@psu.edu while other schools have more human-friendly rules. “One school has a rule where the only way to tag a human is to touch them with both hands only on their shoulders,” Mols (senior-informa tion, science and technology) said, as opposed to any basic tag, by Penn State rules. The game finished around 9:30 p.m., when all the play ers had become zombies. Overall, the game was a success, Mortara said. He would like to see the invita tional become an annual event, but because he will be graduating in May, he’ll have to leave it up to the younger members of the club. “I wanted to do one nice thing for the club and the game itself before I graduated,” Mortara said.

And it was cheaper, too.” For the home team, the extra attention only gave them more anticipation to step into the batter’s box and face Strasburg. Curve catcher Kris Watts, who drew two walks off Strasburg, said having a capacity crowd could even help the team in the long run casual Altoona fans might be encouraged to keep coming back. “I love having people in the ball park,” Watts said. “You come to the field, and you cJrnur itp fn o gomo jijro fVijo urhgro you have the full stands and extra people in the outfield it just adds that extra energy.
