Cease is just one of the few come dians to come to Penn State this month sponsored by the Student Programming Association (SPA) in honor of their April Fbols comedy month. As Cease got on stage, the crowd went wild with applause and shouts of Cease’s name encouraging him to begin. He began his set by cursing and poking fun at the SPA staff off stage. “Congrats on going to a real school,” Cease told the crowd. “And you know it’s a real school cause you can swear here.” Cease is no stranger to college campuses or a movie set. He has been seen in movies such as “10 Things I Hate About You” and is well known as the “slow clapper” in “Not Another Teen Movie”. Greg Tarbell, a member of Second Floor Stand-up, said what he loves the best about Cease is his odd ball sense of humor. TarbelKsophomore-mechanical engineering), along with his friends from the Second Floor Stand-Up, were the first people in the long line to see Cease.

The discussion got so heated that a stu dent said he might not fill the census out. “It left a lot of students wondering what to check off,” Bedolla (junior hotel, restaurant and institutional management) said. “When it was addressed at the meeting, everyone got real fired up.” The use of the word “Negro” on the census is also raising eyebrows.

Next in the program, as part of the “Wanna Have Some Rin” seg ment, Buelow showed a slideshow of suggestive alcohol ads that por trayed “alcohol as a social lubri cant” and portray women as “sub servient” sexual objects.

LOCAL By Valerie Tkach COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER Molly Kline said she was first Comedian Kyle Cease performs at the HUB on Monday night. He is one of the many comedians to visit PSU as part of SPAs April Fools comedy month. “I’m totally obsessed with him and his totally random comedy,” said Alexandrea Pitzer (sophomore labor studies and employment rela tions), while waiting in line to see Cease. As Cease continued his set, going from talking about his own death to how much the bands Creed and Nickelback suck, the laughter and the-applause in the room just kept getting louder. “I love doing stand up for college students because they’re educated,” said Cease. “And Penn State is real ly educated.” Cease brought with him three of his students from the stand-up boot Pennsylvania Apprentice to the League of Young Voters Education Rind, said the word is still in use because more than 65,000 people personally wrote in the word “Negro” as their race in the last cen sus. While the majority of people who wrote in Negro were older citizens, Kennedy (senior-geography) said she could see how some people would not identify with that word today. “It’s not there to make anyone feel disempowered,” Kennedy said. Census Bureau Media Specialist Pamela Golden said since the cen- displayed T-shirts made by victims of sexual assault at the University of California-Irvine, where Buelow served as a self-defense coordinator. The T-shirts featured phrases like “I left the school of my dreams because of what you did to me,” “I see the potential in every man’s eyes,” and “This is how I feel inside: EMPTY” Alexandra Oropesa said the topic of the night hits close to home. “I’ve had friends who’ve been affected by sexual assault on cam pus, so I wanted to learn more about it and kind of protect myself,” Oropesa (sophomore-Latin American studies) said. To lighten the mood after the somber display, Buelow asked four people to come to the front of the room and guess the numbers of sta tistics pertaining to sexual assault. In doing so, Buelow revealed that an estimated 25 percent of college women will experience rape or introduced to the musical and the movie by her mother. While the sto ryline isn’t necessarily something she’d initially be attracted to, she said the musical still maintains its popularity and attracts a wide range of audiences. “They could take the same story line, the girl trying to find her dad, and they could make it some really dark, sad time, but they keep it real ty upbeat,” Kline (senior-secondary education) said. “I think people think that’s a breath of fresh air, I suppose.” The famous rock band has just recently been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fhme, Sullivan said. Some of its more popular songs featured in the musical The Daily Collegian camp he directs with Louie Anderson, who opened for Cease. Chet Wild, Sherlonda Clarke, and Corey Monroe each took the stage to warm the crowd up for Cease. The three go on tour with Cease around different college campuses and get the experience of being on stage and performing in front of a big crowd. “He lets me know that I can do this,” said Clarke. Cease said the point of his boot camp is to help his students know they can do whatever they set their minds to.

Several years of research go into forming each census, Golden said. Salters thinks it’s time to make a change. “We’re in a society where people want to move away from the bound aries of racism,” Salters said. “I understand it’s shorter to make it easier to fill out and maybe even to save money but it’s still not a valid reason to confine people.” To e-mail reporter: evrso2B@psu.edu attempted rape at college, and roughly 84 percent of rape victims know their perpetrator. Buelow finished the program by defining consent and giving strate gies for risk reduction. Delta Chi Philanthropy Chair lyier Vandervalk (freshman-divi sion of undergraduate studies) said the percentage of rapes in which perpetrators know their victims was “strikingly high” and the presenta tion made him realize the impor tance of holding his friends account able. The high percentage of college women affected by sexual assault makes it everyone’s problem, Buelow said. “This is an issue because this number is so high that, whether we know it or not, at least one person we know will probably be affected by it,” he said.

But she said mothers and daughters aren’t the only ones who can relate. “Everyone has that one person in their life that they want to make sure is happy, and you see it in the mother-daughter relationship in the musical,” Medeiros said. “It doesn’t have to be a mom and daughter. It can be seen in a lot of different rela tionships.” To e-mail reporter: rmgsl46@psu.edu
