Changes include: the elimination of the spirit points program; a requirement that all student organi zations participating in THON be recognized by the university, the addition of a "special interest group" category, and the announcement of the totals of only the top five fundraising groups in each category, not the ten that were previously announced. Energy policy From Page 1 "If we can reduce the number of spaces lit we reduce pollution, our carbon footprint and operating cost of the university," he said. Mary Edgington, senior director of union and student activity, said lowering energy costs is for every one's benefit, but Penn State does not want to hurt groups already using campus space. "If there is no other space and the groups need it, we will work with them and OPP to see if we can open up the space," she said. Full Ammo Improv Troupe is among the clubs having difficulty finding a space to perform, though Room Six in the Arts Building where it usually performed is not affected by the policy. "The Arts Building is going under a huge renovation," said Dan Carter, the director of the School of Theatre. "We are trying to move forward and give students the best education. It's a change within the School of Theatre made for educational pur poses." _ . The raised seating in Room Six perfect for public performances has been taken down to give theatre students a film acting studio, he said.

Friend after friend told stories about Richards that highlighted his intelligence, kindness and devotion to service, and almost all of them ended with a laugh. Richards a Schreyer Honors college student maintained a 4.0 GPA in high school, was active at his church and worked to become an Eagle Scout, his father said. "The things he did in his life, it wasn't stuff he had to do, but he wanted to do it," Richards' friend Mike Thomas said to the people gathered in the chapel. Thomas and Richards became friends while competing with Penn State's Mock Thal Association an activity that Thomas said Richards excelled at. psucollegian.com Microbrewers From Page 1 About 300 people attended the event a low turnout compared to years past, Martin said.

"I'm looking forward to the opportunity to talk with students across campus." Wendkos declined comment Late Saturday night, Wendkos e mailed the presidents of all Penn State student organizations, explaining his concerns and inviting them to the meeting. "It is for literally every student organization that is a THON stake holder, because you all deserve to be informed of THON's decisions and to have a voice regarding that infor mation," Wendkos wrote. "Its purpose will be to present both sides of these THON-related issues and to encourage open dia- was notified of the change, Carter said, though he said he was unaware of any other groups that used that space. "Room Six is an acting studio. It was never designed for public per formance," Carter said. "But we were happy to have Outlaws in there when it was useful for them." But the lack of space for these clubs isn't a new issue. Nall Ammo Improv President Dan Miller said venues like HUB-Alumni Hall and the Paul Robeson Cultural Center's Heritage Hall are too' pricey to reserve for smaller clubs that perform for free. So Miller (senior-economics and accounting) created a Facebook group last Sunday called "WE ARE...Performing in Lecture Halls" in an effort to make other students aware of the ongoing struggle these clubs have, he said. Miller said he would like to see a better reservation system as soon as possible. "In the long term we'd like to see spaces specifically for student organizations, which are not unheard of," he said. "A lot of Penn State [Commonwealth] Campuses have them." Sarah Burton, a member of dill Ammo Improv, said spaces should be available since groups like these provide safe weekend activities. "We should have designated per formance spaces specifically for Richards was elected administra tive vice president of the club in the spring. The chapel and its balcony were filled, but even as the seats were all taken up, friends kept filing into the crowded building, standing at the back of the chapel to hear memories of Richards. But the infectious laughter of all those people couldn't completely stop tears frpm welling up in the eyes of friends and family. When Richards' friend Hailey Mitchell (sophomore-meteorology and geography) sang the Beatles' "Let it Be" she struggled to hold back tears between each verse and chorus. The rest of Richards' friends and family joined in singing, helping each other through the teary song. But the service proved more a cel ebration of Richards' life than a mourning of his passing. "I can't think of any better word to "There's a lot of beer enthusiasts. We've had a lot of really good conversations with people." Martin said he was pleased with how it overall went. The brewers on hand also noticed the low turnout, but said it didn't stop them from enjoying the crowd and the beer. "It's nice because of the crowd that's coming out," Triiegs sales rep resentative Phil Hollen said. "There's a lot of beer enthusiasts. We've had a lot of really good con versations with people." Watching the faces of people as they tried the Troegs Java Head Stout a beer brewed with coffee was one of best parts of the'event, Martin said. Zach Gordon, who was at the Expo, said some of his favorite brew ers were in attendance. He also enjoyed the chance to try new beers.

Wendkos wrote that he decided to call the meeting in response to the recently announced changes in THON's organizational structure and method of announcing fundrais ing totals. "If we have members that volun teer for THON through our respec tive organizations, we, as presi dents, are responsible for facilitating the investment of their time, energy, and support by ensuring that THON's highht leaders are making decisions that are healthy for the philanthropy's success," he wrote. To e-mail reporters: vhgsoo3@psu.edu, mers2oo@psu.edu clubs that we can use for free," Burton (senior-journalism and polit ical science) said. "We are the options to alcoholic activities." Ryan Simmons, Class of 2009, said he understands Miller's frustration. As a former president of both Rill Ammo Improv and No Refund Theatre, Simmons said this problem existed before he graduated. He wrote to the university about the problem and offered possible solu tions. "I was hoping that hearing from an alumnus would alert them that this problem has been around for a long time," he said. Communication between the stu dent groups and the university has been set up in an effort to resolve this issue. Miller spoke at the University Park Undergraduate Association (UPUA) meeting Wednesday, after UPUA off-campus representative Mallory Reed (junior-political sci ence) saw the Facebook group. And Miller said he would love to work with the university to help cre ate a method of reserving rooms. "I'd love to sit down with any uni versity official so we could start a dialogue about this," Miller said. "That was the purpose of the Facebook group and I'm so glad that is starting."

"We will always have our beautiful, happy memories of Tom to take with us." Friends remembered his leader ship abilities, his precociousness, as well as his unwavering devotion to friends and his uncanny ability to reach out to others. "Tom could take command of the entire room," Lisa Lotito, Richards' former teaching assistant said dur ing the service. "But he would always remember to ask, 'How are you?' " Richards' father, also Tom Richards, shared his last memory of his son. "He gave me a big bear hug and said 'I love you, Dad,' " his father said.

"At our age, people don't normally drink good beer." In addition to local brewers such as Elk Creek Café and Otto's Pub and Brewery, Anchor Brewing Company from San Francisco, Calif. was in attendance. Anchor Brewing Company sales representative Ed Downs said a benefit of the event was actually being able to talk to the crowd. Instead of people just coming up and asking if they could have a beer and then walking away, Downs said he was able to interact with the beer enthusiasts in attendance. "This is by far the best one I've done," Downs said. "The people are the best. It's nice to talk good beer with good people." To e-mail reporter: zjgsol2@psu.edu To e-mail reporter. mjhsso7@psu.edu
