Sexual assault and underage drinking are the two big topics that will be discussed at this meeting, Ragland (senior-political science) said. “These are two issues we need to be proactive about,” Ragland said.

UPUA has been conducting out reach programs to recruit new lead ers who can help students avoid these issues. UPUA Executive Director for Freshman Outreach Rebecca Alt said there will be other meetings in the future on safety to let freshmen know about campus issues. “Any dangerous situation can happen,” Alt (sophomore-communi cation arts and sciences) said. “Any student at any time can get into a situation where violence can get involved.” Ragland said he believes it is important for students to be aware of the resources available to them if they are ever assaulted or confront ed with underage drinking. One of these resources, he said, is the Center for Women Students (CWS). CWS offers peer education groups to provide information about issues Halls, the Millennium Science Complex construction site and sev eral other buildings lost power at about 12:40 p.m. after a trans former in the Penn State Bookstore failed. Power was partially restored to most buildings by Thursday evening, Rushton said, but solving the Penn State Bookstore’s power problems took longer because it required longer cables. On Monday, when the temporary transformer was installed, there were a couple of instances throughout some buildings when the work disrupted power in the future of labor rights enforcement.” Under the university’s current agreement, all Penn State athletes wear the Nike brand and the compa ny manufactures a large chunk of fan apparel. While Penn State didn’t follow Cornell and the University of Wisconsin’s suit to cut ties altogeth er, university spokesman Geoff Rushton said the school has been talking with Nike about the situation since last year and recently urged the company to “play a positive role” in helping the laid-off workers. “The decision [to pay the work ers] is a positive step not only for this particular situation, but moving forward for apparel manufactur ing,” Rushton said. “What we just want to look at now is how it’s imple mented and continue to receive updates from various organizations and from Nike on its progress.” that people cause at night, such as leaving their trash, spilling their drinks or vomiting. But Kerry Cavanaugh, who works at The Diner, 126 W College Ave, said working the late night shift does have some positive aspects. “We also get really drunk people who will give you $5O to cut them three people in line, so it’s not all bad,” Cavanaugh, Class of 2010, said. “Also, drunk alumni tend to tip well, so that’s pretty cool.” Lenker also said he makes more tips at night, and though he some times has to deal with the “belliger ent drunk,” he said it doesn’t happen too often.

CWS can connect victims with therapy or emotional support if needed through Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), she said. They can also help victims col lect evidence to help build a case in court.

He said a second temporary unit will be installed this week, which might cause more disruptions. But no one experienced prob lems with electricity on Tuesday or Wednesday, he said. Rushton said a final solution to the problem will not be in place until Penn State receives a new transformer for the bookstore, which must first be built. Rushton said that process can take up to weeks to fix the problem and be fully functional. To e-mail reporter: ndpso4s@psu.edu To e-mail reporter: mers2oo@psu.edu United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) aggresively spearheaded the campaign to get Nike to pay its laid off workers. USAS National Organizer Jack Mahoney said this case sets an important precedent for the impact of college students’ voices, like those at Penn State, when it comes to fighting for workers’ rights in the future. “Clearly the cuts at Cornell and Wisconsin were serious landmarks in the campaign, and students at universities like Penn State were already engaged in trying to get their universities to follow suit,” Mahoney said. “And that ultimately drove [Nike] to make this agree ment was that there were students on many other campuses organizing to do the same thing.” To e-mail reporter: cmms773@psu.edu “A lot of customers are friendly, fun to talk to and tip well,” he said. But Lang said it’s the people he works with at the Pita Pit that make the job enjoyable. “We’re all friends outside of work, so that makes it fun,” he said. “We get to choose our music. It’s the lit tle things that keep us happy.” Both Moore and Cavanaugh said their coworkers make the experi ence of the graveyard shift more bearable. “I really like the people I work with over night,” Cavanaugh said. “We manage to have fun.” To e-mail reporter krlslo6@psu.edu To e-mail reporter: bwmsl47@psu.edu
