Five men who were charged in connection with an aggra
vated assault following a fight at about 2 a.m. Friday outside of
Indigo, 112 W College Ave., each waived their right to a pre
liminary hearing on Wednesday. . .

on the ground, the State College Police Department said.
Police said they could not release the name of the man who
was injured and had no further information regarding his
injuries, but said that the incident is under investigation.
One man, who was driving the car used by the five men to
vacate the scene, was also charged with one count of felony
aggravated assault and was issued a DUI, police said.
Another one of the men was also cited with disorderly con
duct earlier Friday night in connection with a fight, police said.

white and college-aged, police said, and the incident is under
investigation

ring was ripped out during the incident, police said, and he
was later treated at Mount Nittany Medical Center.

Ryan said Bayer will be a great
representative for Penn State, espe
cially since she had a "non-tradition
al" Penn State experience, because
she spent all four years at Penn
State Berks.
Representatives from the
Commonwealth Campus Student
Governments (CCSG) said they
were pleased to see that a
Commonwealth Campus student
was given such an honor from the
university.
It means a lot to the organization
that Bayer was selected, CCSG Vice
President Peter Khoury said.

evaluate the services, Ragland said.
The Interfraternity Council (IFC) is
one organization that will aid in the
ambassador program.
"I've already had chapter presi
dents contact me asking about sign
ing up for it, so there will definitely be
support from the WC," Vice President
for Programming Christian Van Horn
(senior-labor studies and employment
relations) said.
The Association of Residence Hall
Students (ARHS) will also help with
providing ambassadors, and the
group is working to promote the ser
vice's extended hours because the
organization recognizes its benefits.
"I think that it takes a step toward
addressing the safety of students
first," ARHS President. Steven
Roberts (junior-finance and econom
ics) said. "It accounts for the students
to be going out and ensures that they
get home safely."

Wireless Internet in dorms is
something Raouda said he'd like to

"That would be amazing," he said.
"That is something we're pursuing."
Not having wireless came as a
surprise to some students.
"I thought wireless was through
out the campus," Jethro Petit-Frere
(freshman-division of undergradu
ate studies) said.
Petit-Frere, who lives in East
Halls, said he was surprised to find
that only one side of his room had an
Ethernet port.
"I had to go out and buy one of
those 20-foot [Ethernet] cords," he
said.
Housing and Food Services
Information Systems Director Joel
Weidner said Penn State has no
plans to install wireless in students'
bedrooms.

transportation that meets their
needs on a day-to-day basis." .
Copper Beech originally decided
to implement a private shuffle serv
ice to prevent an increase in ten
ants' rent after CATA increased the
price of its contract by 21 percent.
Tenants received the first notice
announcing the termination of
CATA service on Friday after
many of them had already moved in.
CATA General Manager Hugh
Mose said Copper Beech represen
tatives approached CATA over the
weekend, after outcry from student
tenants who said they valued the
bus service.
Letters, e-mails and phone calls
all sparked Copper Beech to issue a
second notice on Monday asking
tenants to vote for their preferred
service CATA bus services or
Copper Beech's private shuttle
service. Monday's notice

Rose said.
"I don't think it's justified. lf
course not, I mean we haven't done
anything. Maybe the people thought
that Megan [Hodge] and [Glass]
were coming back for a fifth year,
and then we would've been a more
relevant candidate for that."
Rose said voters probably select
ed the three-time defending nation
al champion Lions as No. 1 in the
AVCA preseason poll because "we
haven't lost in a couple years."

Though Bayer is younger than
many of the past grand marshals,
Bayer's age will make her relatable
to both students and alumni, Rush
(junior-marketing and public rela
tions) said and bringing together
the two groups is the purpose of
Homecoming.
As the Homecoming Grand
Marshal, Bayer will attend the court
reception and the ice cream social,
and will also make appearances in
the Homecoming parade, football
game and pep rally, Rush said.

sack from a suitcase he had on
stage. Inside was an orange, and
after he cut around the orange he
asked the student to twist off the
top. The audience collectively
gasped as the student lifted off
the top to find her money inside.
Fbr Porsche High (junior-hotel,
restaurant and institutional man
agement), who had seen Kredible
perform before, said it was the
magician's constant interaction
with the crowd that she enjoyed.
"His show was unique and dif
ferent because he interacts with
the crowd more than I've seen
with other magicians," High said.
To end the show, Kredible did
one last trick called "balloon
sword swallowing" where he
blew up a balloon and swallowed
it whole, making sure to turn in
different angles and show the
audience there were no tricks.

Weidner said students can bring
their own routers to Penn State but
encourages them to have Res Com
set those up.
"We want to make sure the router
is configured properly so other peo
ple aren't hopping on and using your
bandwidth," he said.
Director of Housing Conal Carr
said all residence halls have wire
less in their common areas and stu
dents have Ethernet ports in their
rooms, giving them high-speed
internet access.
Fbr some students, the lack of
dorm air conditioning presents
another issue.
"Any time we renovate a space,
air conditioning will be considered,"
Carr said. "It doesn't mean it's going
to happen, obviously."
North Halls was recently renovat

announced that an extra fee of $75
would be added to each tenant's
rent to support the cost of reinstat
ing CATA services.
Copper Beech resident Steve
Travis said he didn't mind the added
cost.
"It's better than the alternative,"
Travis, Class of 2010, said. "It's nice
to know CATA buses will be here
whenever we need them, especially
when it starts getting colder."
Mose said the state government
decreased its funding for CATA bus
services by 3.7 percent this past
year, but bus usage by Copper
Beech tenants increased by a stag
gering 46 percent. Both factors were
taken into account when CATA's
contract with Copper Beech was ini

key contributors from the last three
seasons, most notably Hodge, a two
time Big Ten Player of the Year and
four-time All-American, and Glass,
currently the starting setter for the
U.S. women's national team.
"There's a number of teams
around the country I think that have
a lot more experience coming
back," Rose said.
The Lions, meanwhile, are work
ing with a 19-player roster that
includes nine freshmen. And Rose
as well as his players knows it
will take some time for everyone to
feel comfortable.
But senior libero Alyssa D'Errico

strong as it has been in past years.

she said practices have been fun

Marshal and said she immediately
accepted the position.
Though he was at first intimidat
ed to talk to such a distinguished
alumna and athlete, Ryan said
Bayer is very easy to work with and
extremely friendly.
Bayer has competed in three
Wmter Olympics in her lifetime. In
2010, she placed 3rd in the 3,000-
meter relay at the Vancouver
Olympic Games.
She also competed in the 2006
Wmter Olympics, which were held
in Torino, Italy.
The most recent Olympic athlete
to serve as Homecoming Grand
Marshal was 10-meter platform

ing, Carr said. Air conditioning is
being considered for South Halls'
renovation sometime in 2012 or
2013, he said.
Carr said housing operates its
renovations around a "very exten
sive" 10-year plan. The title "10-
year" is not to set a deadline, but
rather to symbolize how far housing
looks into the future, Carr said.
"The plan is currently going until
2018, but that doesn't mean it will
end in 2018," he said.
For the future, Carr said housing
hopes •to increase the electrical
capacity of East and Pollock Halls, a
project that he estimates to cost $36
million.
Replacing all of East and Pollock

kitchens in Nittany Apartments are
also in the plan.
