"Rewards for studying are pass
ing and graduating," she said.
Ultrinsic President Jeremy
Gelbart said its creators are dealing
with the situation "very carefully"
they view universities as their
partners.
Gelbart said the site provides
incentives for students to perform
well in academia and that Penn
State's accusations are unfounded.
"I would expect that rather than
making a statement like that, they
would speak with us," Gelbart said.
"I would like to discuss that with
them and find out what that assess
ment is based on."

Devlin
From Page 1
Had he not approached Paterno
for his release before the 2009 Rose
Bowl, it's hard not to wonder what
Devlin's career could've been.
But don't even try bringing that
question up to him.
"No, not at all," he said about
staying up-to-date with Penn State
football. "I'm focused on what I'm
doing here and I love my position
here."
After former quarterback Daryll
Clark beat out Devlin for the start
ing job in 2008, the season was sup
posed to be Devlin's chance to run
the offense.
But minimal playing time and
another year as the backup weren't
helping his career aspirations, he
said.

Martinson met Richards on the
first day of class last year, she said,
before they started dating.
"He always had a good attitude no
matter what he was doing," she
said. "He focused on the important
things in life and he taught me a lot
about what is really important."
Martinson said she decided to

Katrina which touched down five

"The years before 2005 do not
exist no one says 2004 here, no
one says 2003 everything, every
thing they talk about is before the
storm or after the storm," he said.
Armed with a degree in Human
Development and Family Studies,
Floyd said he decided to use what
he learned at Penn State to help a
community in great need.
When he first arrived in New
Orleans in August 2007, Floyd said
his first impression was that there
was a lot of work to be done. Many
people lived in Fbderal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) trail
ers and many buildings were com
pletely uninhabitable, he said.

Each month, Kildare's will featurt a
new charity to which patrons can
donate, Magrogan said.
This helps a Kildare's restaurant
become a valuable part of whichev
er town it is in, general manager
Frank Kasper said.
"We end up being a contributor to
the community" he said.
Though its appearance may seem
sudden to residents, the company
has been looking to set up an estab
lishment in State College for four
years, Magrogan said.
"It's a great location," he said.
"We have a great relationship with
restaurants and bars in the area."
A relationship with other local
businesses is an important part of
A Student Alcohol Advisory
Committee is expected to be formed
in the next few weeks, Sims said.
The committee will include the
"usual suspects" representatives
from UPUA, Interfraternity Council
and residence hall organizations
but will extend beyond those
groups, Sims said.
Ragland (senior-political science)
said while student leaders have met
in the past to discuss State Patty's
Day and other alcohol-related
issues, it's a step in the right direc
tion to form an official committee.
Students must submit a deposit
calculated by how much they want
to earn, their course schedule and
GPA at the beginning of the semes
ter and their official transcripts at
the end. Ultrinsic expanded this fall
to include about 30 colleges, includ
ing Penn State.
This semester, students only need
to provide their GPA. But students
also need a list of all their previous
class grades in the future, Gelbart
said. Students can elect to give out
their access account username and
password rather than submitting
the information manually.
Because some students may
choose to provide their Penn State
access account and password, Penn
State officials have expressed con
cerns about students' privacy.
Marcus Robinson, Penn State's
director of IT communications, said
"When I sat down with Joe, he
was great about it," Devlin said of
Paterno. "I explained my reasons
and he explained his reasons why I
should stay. And I said, 'Coach,
that's not going to work for me, and
I think it'll be in my best interest.'
And he was great about it. He said,
`You know, Pat, I don't want to hurt
your career, and if you feel like that's
best for you, so be it."
Standing in front of the home
sideline at the University of
Delaware's Tubby Raymond Field,
the senior was doing what he does
best.
Out of the shotgun formation with
an empty backfield, the 6-foot-4, 220-
pound quarterback was dissecting
the Blue Hen's defense.
It wasn't too flashy as he led the
first-team offense in the two-minute
drill, but a series of quick outs, cou
pled with a few quarterback keepers
had his offense on the move.
As Devlin's cadence forced the
defense to scramble before it called
timeout, there was no denying his
transition to the Football
Championship Series (FCS) pro
gram has been seamless.
students who couldn't attend
Richards' service and viewing last
Saturday could still pay tribute to
their friend.
The memorial will consist of a few
speakers with prepared remarks
and then the service will be open for
any other friends or family to share
their memories of Richards.
Lisa Lotito, who will speak at the
memorial, said Richards was excep
tionally smart, but also had a way of
reaching out and connecting with
people.
Lotito had been a teaching assis
tant for Richards' Leadership
Jumpstart class the class where
Floyd said a large part of New
Orleans has yet to be rebuilt.
"It all depends on where you live,"
he said. "If you live in some parts of
the city, you really couldn't tell the
storm hit. If you live in other parts of
the city, you get reminded every
time you are home."
Floyd, who serves as the
Lagniappe Academy's dean of stu
dents, said the school's aim is to
improve people's lives as they still
try to recover from Katrina's lasting
effects.
Schreyer Honors College Dean
and and former New Orleans resi
dent Christian Brady said that
despite considerable progress,
there is still much to be done.
Brady was a faculty member at
'ane University in New Orleans
when the storm hit the area and
said he wasn't expecting it to be as
devastating as it ultimately was.
"We had hurricanes and storms
every year," Brady said. "We expect
ed it would be another near-miss."
Kildare's business practice,
Magrogan said.
Kasper, agreed, adding that the
company aims to cooperate with
local establishments rather than
compete.
Richard Power, general manager
of the Kildare's in West Chester,
attended the opening of the State
College Kildare's to help the busi
ness in its first few days, he said.
After managing one of the pubs for a
year, Power knows what makes the
restaurant stand out among other
establishments: the "perfect pint," a
draft of Guinness served in a clean,
dry glass around 40 degrees.
Patrons of Hooters in the past will
notice another difference from the
old establishment: Kildare's has
given the building a complete
makeover. Decorations include
authentic antiques and photographs

And even parents are being
encouraged to get involved in the
solution.
Sims said he is sending a series of
letters to parents of freshmen the
first to be mailed soon
to detail the facts and encourage
parents to discuss the issue of
alcohol with their college-aged chil
dren.
The university plans to run trial
programs to measure which pro
grams are effective, Sims said.

anyone at Penn State should have
two concerns with giving out
account information when using
services like Ultrinsic: policy impli
cations and privacy concerns.
Under Penn State policy AD-20,
Penn State account users are pro
hibited from giving others access to
their accounts.
If it appears as though another
student or system is using some
one's account, it can be suspended
or terminated under the policy,
Robinson said.
Gelbart said Ultrinsic has a very
strong privacy policy all data is
encrypted. An alternative solution
that provides easy access to
students' transcripts would work
equally well for Ultrinsic, Gilbert
said.

"Even though he has the ability to
throw the ball and run the ball, it's
all the other things that make him a
great guy to be around, a great
teammate, a great leader and a real
ly good player," said Jim Haller,
Delaware's offensive
coordinator/quarterbacks coach.
"And he still has plenty of room to
keep developing as a quarterback,
and that's what's fun."
The 250 people in the stands for
the intrasquad scrimmage were a
far cry from the thousands of Penn
State faithful who pack into Beaver
Stadium any chance they get.
And despite playing an FCS
schedule with a head coach who has
just 62 wins with the program,
Devlin is happy.
"We're just taking it one practice
at a time, one day at a time," said
Devlin, sporting a green No. 17 prac
tice jersey. "Our goal is to win every
day and win those small battles.
Those small battles add up, you
know, and hopefully when we get to
the season we can put it all togeth
er."

he had met Martinson
They had worked together during
the course of the semester in that
class to create a service project that
taught the elderly computer and
technology skills.
She said she will always remem
ber a picture taken of Richards as
he taught an elderly man how to use
a computer. They were both bent
over the desk, the computer screen
behind them, and Richards' face
was beaming with a smile.
That picture, Lotito said, sums up
what Richards was all about.

Brady said Penn State's
Presidential Leadership Academy,
a class taught by Brady and Penn
State President Graham Spanier,
will bring students to New Orleans
in March to learn about the city's
culture and way of life for those
neighborhoods still in the recon
struction process.
Hurricane Katrina was the most
destructive hurricane to ever strike
the United States in terms of eco
nomic losses, according to the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA).
In all, more than 1,700 people
were killed and hundreds of thou
sands of others displaced, according
to a National Hurricane Center
report.
And five years later, people all
over the country including many
with ties to Penn State are not
giving up in their quest to restore
the city to what it once was.

from several pubs in Ireland,
Magrogan said. The walls and ceil
ings have been repainted by artist
Richard Lillie.
"I've been a fine artist my whole
life," Lillie said. "I add my own touch
to things."
Lillie's "touch" can be seen every
where, even the ceilings, where he
painted a mural of the Celtic myth of
Tir na nOg above a table made out
of a single tree and a set of chairs,
Power said.
Joe Boyle (senior-political sci
ence) was invited to the opening
because of his involvement in the
Penn State Irish Society, he said.
Kildare's is much more than jt st a
gimmick restaurant, he said.
"It's not an Irish theme; it's an
Irish pub," he said.
