While most members supported the idea of partnering with the group to reach Out to potential vot ers, some voiced concerns about the organization’s political lean ings. Anthony Christina, an assembly member and vice chairman of the Penn State College Republicans, said he felt the group was “very biased on political issues” but added that he is in favor of promot Quarterback From Page L knows he has to play well, but if he doesn’t, it’s not the end of things either.

In his press conference Tuesday, Joe Patemo said he would try to get all three quarterbacks snaps against Youngstown State, and in a state ment on GoPSUsports.com he reit erated that point “Based on what we have seen to this point, Bolden has a slight edge right now,” Patemo said in the state ment. “But we are confident all three quarterbacks are ready to go and hope to give them an opportuni- Big Ten From Page 1. team from the other division every year the Nittany Lions will face the Comhuskers yearly in addition to their conference opponents. “Whether you look at Michigan and Penn State or Penn State and Michigan State, you’re going to see that not everybody was able to derive everything,” Delany said. “We did as good as we could do, as well as we could do. It was based on princi ple and it was based on people sort of coming together.” The schedule change gets rid of the Lions’ end-of-season game against Michigan State and replaces the Land Grant Th>phy game with a season-ending matchup against the Badgers. Delany said the season-ending game with Wisconsin is part of a two-year agreement, and the confer ence will make an adjustment if nec essary. “My friends were into it, so I start- way Matisyahu has learned to ed to beat-box,” he said. “That was spread Jewish customs. kinri of my gateway drug into hip- “It’s nice to bring Jewish culture hop.” and beliefs through reggae,” “He manages to make these Matisyahu said performing is a Solomon said, sounds that—if you didn’t know bet- different experience for him every “It’s very original.” ter sound likp a drum machine,” time.

Yes,” he said. “But do we want to be asso ciated with a biased organization?” Other assembly members said there wasn’t any political motiva tion behind the decision. “We are solely working on regis tering students. We are not promot ing any agenda,” said assembly member and College Democrats President Rob Ghormoz. PennPIRG representative Claire Fromme said that while the organ ization has campaigned on issues at schools in the past, the organiza tion is not affiliated with Penn State and isn’t pushing a political agenda here. “We just want to be as clear about our organization as possi ble,” she said. “We are only doing voting registration here, as opposed to campaigns at other schools.” PennPIRG intern Carl Watts said he could see where Christina’s crit- ty to play until we settle on the one that gives us the best chance to win.” Newsome has the most collegiate experience of the three candidates, playing in 10 games last season, but only throwing 11 passes. His high school coach, Lew Johnston, who spoke with Newsome’s mother after hearing of Bolden’s selection, said Newsome is “obviously disappoint ed to have put that much time and effort into it” But he said Newsome will be ready to capitalize on his opportuni ty the moment he is called upon “When they give him a chance, just show them, Tm the one who can do it,’ ” Johnston said. “He’s certainly not a quitter. He’s a winner. ” Johnson quieted the idea that losing the starting spot could lead to a transfer for Newsome, and McGloin’s mother, Cathy, The announcement of the sched ule came on the same day Penn State season-ticket holders announced their intentions regard ing the Seat Transfer and Equity Plan that goes into effect next sea son. The Lions’ 2011 home slate includes .Alabama, lowa, Purdue, Illinois and Nebraska. The games against Wisconsin and Ohio State, \nhich were previously scheduled home games, will now be played on the road. “I think we’re off base if we don’t respect our fans because our fans are the basis of our success,” Delany said. “We can’t always give them all the p»Ua they want in die game, we can’t always give them all what they want in terms of which games are on ABC or ESPN.

Collegian Business Manager Kelsey Thompson said Hartranft proved herself in what Hartranft said was basically a year-long inter view while she served as interim general manager.

Usually, people view the gay com munity as a separate entity from the rest of the student body, Vice President and Recruitment Chairman Brendan O’Connor said the fraternity wants to challenge that riotion. O’Connor, who said he is always disheartened by homophobic atti tudes, said Delta Lambda Phi was a perfect fit for him. “It’s an awesome way to combine the gay community and greek life,” O’Connor said. “If we could double our pledge class, people will be like, Whoa, it’s time to start taking them seriously.’ ” Haas said he knows that no mat ter what happens or how many peo ple join, Delta Lambda Phi is a The Daily Collegian Extended forecast at idsms were coming from. “We just think it’s important for politicians to keep their eye on youth voters,” he said. The motion passed with 27 “yes” votes and 1 “no” vote. 10 members abstained from voting. Affiliating with PennPIRG was only one of several motions passed at the meeting. The four nominees for director positions were approved and sworn in. Jalelah Ahmed became Director of Programming; Mike Stegura was approved as Director of Facilities; Benjy Lombard was chosen as Director of Internal Affairs and Michael Chang was approved as Director of the Commission of Campus Safety. UPUA President Christian Ragland, who nominated and swore in the new directors, described the new members as dili gent, well qualified and experi enced.

In Buchanan’s eyes, Bolden Sr. will be seeing the first game in a very successful collegiate career for his son “It’ll be tough. There’ll be Ing teams he’s gonna play against and big games,” Buchanan said. “But with his hard work, he’ll be ready every week.” Collegian staff writers Brendan Monahan and Audrey Snyder contributed to this report.

As for taking the next step in the expansion and conference process, Delany said the Big Tfen will look at possible divisions for basketball. He said the football divisions have noth ing to do with basketball's 18-game conference schedule, but he didn’t rule out possible basketball divi sions. Also, Delany said he hopes a new conference logo will be designed around Dec. 1. Delany said completing two divi sions and creating schedules for the next two seasons is something he ultimately feels was done in a timely and respectful manner. “Reasonable people can disagree about a lot of this,” Delany said. “But I don’t think they can dis agree about the principles that drove this and the reality that we’re able to protect nine or 10 of the tro phy games.” To e-mail reporter aasS22ofrpMi.edu business,” Thompson said. “She has definitety gained the respect of the professional staff and students.” Strohl said Hartranft will be responsible for running the Collegian’s day to day business oper ations a job Strohl said was criti cally important “As general manager, you are truly the head coach,” Strohl said. “You are the leader of this team and managing this multimillion-dollar organization.” To e-mail reporter tren*Sl47#p*ii.e<lß worthwhile organization that has the potential to change many lives. “If we help one single person come out of the closet it’s all com pletely worth it” Haas said. “We have gay, straight and bi brothers. We have brothers of every race, creed, and religion we don’t dis criminate.” Delta Lambda Phi’s Rush week, which starts on Monday, starts with an information session and a chance to meet the brothers. After that the week will be filled with scavenger hunts, a trip to Mezzanine, 420 E. College Ave., and a barbecue. . Haas said ultimately, Delta Lambda Phi should not be defined by its members’ sexual orientation instead, it’s a progressive frater nity that champions social justice.
