2 I Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2010 Two dead in violence-plagued Chester CHESTER, Pa. (AP) Police in a violence-plagued subur ban Philadelphia city say no suspects have been arrested in the shooting deaths of two men over the weekend. ( Police in Chester say 27-year-old Tyrone Thompson and his 19-year-old nephew, Jeffrey Joyner, died early Monday at Crozer Chester Medical Center after being shot at about 11:45 p.m. Sunday about a block away from their home. Detective James Nolan said investigators are still trying to piece together what happened. He says police are not sure whether the shootings were related to earlier incidents in the same area. If the shootings are ruled homicides after autopsies, they would be the 17th and 18th for the year in Chester. In June, the mayor declared a state of emergency and a 9 p.m. curfew was imposed in problem areas after a rash of shootings left four people dead in eight days. Pa. man gets 10 to 20 years in murder WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) A northeastern Pennsylvania man has been sentenced 10 to 20 years in prison after testimony from a murder victim's widow on his behalf. Luzerne County Judge Lewis Wetzel said Tdesday that he would have imposed a stiffer sentence on 23-year-old Martin Green of Plymouth Township without the testimony of Diana Gerson. Gerson said her husband, 44-year-old David Gerson, had loved Green like a son, and Green's children were like the cou ple's grandchildren. Green pleaded guilty to third-degree murder in June. He apologized Tuesday and said the victim had been a father fig ure for him, and the November 2009 shooting stemmed from his own drug use. Family members said David Gerson was a licensed social worker who befriended Green and was trying to help him turn his life around.

I ® High 74 Low 50 High 67 fIHHk Courtesy of Campus Weather Service International student council meets Students from around the world met Tuesday at this year’s first International Student Council (ISC) meeting in the HUB- Robeson Center. Representatives from countries like Africa, Turkey, China, and Puerto Rico gathered like a mock United Nations for Penn State to discuss issues concerning interna tional students. “The ISC is like an umbrella organization over all international student associations,” said ISC President Jinghao Lu (senior-soci ology). “Our purpose together is to truly represent the international students, to get the voices out.” Executives from ethnic student groups attended to exchange ideas about promoting awareness of dif ferent cultures, issues within their native countries, and to create a WTC column hoisted at Ground Zero NEW YORK Officials hoisted a 70-foot piece of World TUade Center steel at ground zero Tuesday and vowed to open the Sept. 11 memori al by next year. They acknowledged, though, that the ongoing construction at the site would limit where and how the pub lic could visit. The memorial, with reflecting, waterfall-filled pools set above the footprints of the fallen towers, its wall of victims’ names, its trees and green spaces, is expected to open by the 10th anniversary of the 2001 attacks. Officials have said the site would be open to the general public after that.

Lu said that the ISC is a very old group, but that it hasn’t been as active in recent years. “International students want to communicate, but what they’ve lacked is a venue,” Lu said. “We would like to fix that.” Centre County Mayor Elizabeth Goreham and University Park Undergraduate Association (UPUA) President Christian Ragland also spoke at the meeting. “You play a special role here,” Goreham said. “You bring new ideas and perspectives of the rest of the world, we want to learn from you,” she said.

But he said visitors would be able to still walk through the cobble stoned plaza and pause by the memorial pools, which have been built up to street level. “You'll be able to come, walk the plaza, sit, contemplate, the foun tains will be working, look at the names, you can reflect,” he said. Thousands of visitors come to peer inside the fenced construction site or visit two adjoining museum sites a day. Once the official memo rial is open, officials estimate 7.1 million people will visit it in the first year. Bloomberg said a northeast sec- on the university, Belliveau said.

He said Royster, who rushed for only 40 yards Saturday, needed more running room. Once the offen sive line gets more experience and Royster is added to different schemes, he will become more effective, Patemo said. Bolden will feel the heat Patemo admits Alabama will be a difficult task for freshman quarter back Robert Bolden. “He’s going to have his problems Saturday,” Patemo said. “We can’t protect him like we did against Youngstown. He’s going to get knocked around.” But Paterno said he believes Bolden will still keep his poise.

Several of the 400 trees that are planned at the plaza including 16 that were planted this summer will still need to be installed after the 10th anniversary passes. Bloomberg and other officials described progress at the memorial and at half a dozen other projects underway at the 16-acre site. Those projects include the signa ture, 1,776-foot skyscraper meant to replace the fallen trade center tow ers. It was followed by the hoisting of a salvaged 50-ton steel column.

He said he’d rather talk about this weekend’s game and did n’t think the current teams were concerned about the past history. “A year from now, they stick my picture up, everybody’s going to say, ‘Who’s the long-nosed guy?” Patemo said. “And they stick Biyant up there with that hat and they’ll say, ‘Who would wear a funny hat like that these days?” To e-mail reporter: bjmsl46@psu.edu To e-mall reporter: Jmas349@psu.edu To e-mail reporter: Ibcl46@psu.edu The Daily Collegian
