fact that by the end of this week
end's NFL Draft he will be going
somewhere.

who was named the Big Ten
defensive player of the year and

On May 6, 2008. the United
Entertainment Corp. (UEC)
wrote a letter to Penn State
offering to work with the univer
sity to provide classroom space
in its theaters Premiere
Theater 12, 125 Premiere Dr.,
and College 9 Cinema, 3031
Carnegie Dr.
The university thanked them
and said they’d keep it on file,
UEC Vice President of
Operations John Shorba said.
Penn State now plans to possi
bly hold lectures and classes in
the 10-screen cinema that will be
part of the downtown Fraser
Centre complex. Shorba said
he’s surprised by the potential
relationship. He said he isn’t
sure why the university would
choose a building that has only
just broken ground in favor of
two existing venues.

mark last fall, will likely have his
NFL fate sealed either tonight or
Friday.
The possibilities of which team
may select him have Odrick anx

where he will begin his career at
the next level.
"Imagine not knowing where
you're going to live and spend the
next couple of years of your life,’’
Odrick said. "All of a sudden you
have a new home it’s kind of
exciting. It's like having somebody
put their finger down on a map
and sav. "Go live there.' "

Playboy overlooks PSU’s party reputation
By Zach Geiger
FOR THE COLLEGIAN
Playboy gave Penn State the cold
shoulder for the second year in a row,
releasing its Top 10 Party School rank
ings without any mention of the uni
versity.
The list came as a shock to many
students, mostly because Penn State
was named No. 1 party school in 2010
by the Princeton Review. The univer
sity did not even earn an honorable
mention on Playboy’s 2010 list, though
some other Big Ten schools, like the
University of lowa, did.
“That doesn’t make sense to me,”
Erik Forsman (junior-information sci
ence and technology) said.
The University of Wisconsin-
Madison placed third on Playboy’s list
but only eighth on the Princeton
Review’s list. The University of lowa
was No. 10 according to Playboy and

throughout every major munici
pality in Centre County includ
ing the borough of State College.
“If [the eventsl are causing tax
payers a lot oi money, they might
be looking at 'how should these
expenses be funded?’ ” Steff said.
“We don’t want to jump the gun
maybe it's not that expensive"
Several different solutions to
these expenses could be a possi
ble liquor tax, hotel ax or heftier
fines for ordinance violations.
Steff said.
If passed, Steff said the COG
Public Safety Committee (PSC)
would conduct the study at no
cost and focus primarily on
events including Nittany Lions
football games, State Patty's Day,
the Central Pennsyh ania
No. 12 on the Princeton Review list.
Indiana University ranked No. 14 on
the Princeton Review rankings, and
Michigan State University’s "Izzone”
named after Coach Tom Izzo
won an honorable mention in
Playboy’s list for best student section
in basketball.
“While nothing stood out save
maybe State Patty’s Day, the fun at
Penn State is more a sum of many
dynamic parts,” Playboy Assistant
Editor Rocky Rakovic said. "If you feel
that we made a gross oversight, prove
it to us for next year’s list and send us
your pictures and stories.”
To compile the list, Playboy looks at
sex, sports, nightlife, academics and
overall campus atmosphere when
deciding which schools make the cut.
Editors also look at input from cam
pus representatives, models, photog
raphers and students, Rakovic said.

ate sexual intercourse, accord

He is also charged with one

roristic threats, simple assault,

At the preliminary hearing,
Glatz did not testify' and kept his
head down, rarely looking at the

After a night of drinking at
downtown bars and local restau

The woman testified that
Glatz, 216 Shulze Hall, pulled her
across the bedroom of her State
College apartment by her pony
tail.
She said Glatz, whom she
knew, forced her to perform oral
sex. He then pushed her on her
bed and raped her, according to
court documents.
Before Glatz and the woman
drove back to her apartment, the
pair verbally fought and at one
point he struck the windshield
with his hand, causing it to
crack, she said in court.
After the windshield incident,
the woman drove into a parking
lot off of Atherton Street, accord
ing to the complaint. When she
tried to exit the car, Glatz pulled
her back in by her hair, police
said.
Shortly after this, a police offi
cer stopped to ask if Glatz and
the woman were OK, according
to the complaint. The woman
told police Glatz instructed her
to tell the officer everything was
OK, so she did, according to the
complaint.
The woman testified that
Glatz had begun using steroids
in January and that there had
been a noticeable change in his
aggressiveness since then.
She said Glatz told her to call
