Assistant Borough Secretary Sharon Ergler said very few items from the last meeting will be car ried over to this one. Instead, the borough council will address new proclamations, consent items and student reports. . . But one item the council will briefly return to at tonight's meet ing concerns zoning in the West THON captains fill Alumni Hall All 315 THON captains filed into Alumni Hall at the HUB-Robeson Center on Saturday morning meeting together for the first and last time ever. The "All Captain Orientation" gathered every captain for the 2011 Interfraternity Council/Panhell enic Dance Marathon to kick off the year, THON Overall Chairwoman Kirsten Kelly said. Even though the event was early, Committee Outreach captain Lindsay Gordon said it was worth getting up for on a Saturday morn ing. • "It went really well and it was amazing to spend my Saturday with people who love THON," Gordon (senior-broadcast journal ism) said. Football From Page 1 said. "We got a long ways to go to be a good football team." The Lions squandered a trio of opportunities with three turnovers inside the Alabama 30-yard line. Freshman quarterback Rob Bolden got his first taste of big-time college football, throwing two interceptions, getting hit as he threw both times, before eventually being replaced with sophomore Kevin Newsome late in the fourth quarter for the Lions final drive. psucollegian.com Elizabeth Murphy Alex Weisler Beth Ann Downey ...Andrew Metcalf Lexi Belculfine Chris Zook Somer Wiggins Kevin Cirilli Ashley Gold Laura Nichols Laurie Stem Steve Hennessey Paul Casella Nate Mink Bill Landis/Kevin Kline Steph Witt By Anita Modi COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER By Vera Greene COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER Regardless of Bolden's 13-for-29, 144-yard performance, which Paterno charcterized as "some good, some bad," defensive coordi nator Ibm Bradley said the Lions were beaten with porous defense. Bradley's answer was simple when he was asked to evaluate the unit's Volleyball From Page 1 The Miami (Fla.) men's tennis team will remain atop the Division I record book with 137-straight victo ries from 1957-1964. The Lions, meanwhile, end their historic run as the No. 2 longest streak, and sit at 7- 1 in the 2010 season. "I didn't talk about it the last two years," coach Russ Rose said of the Lions' record stretch. "I don't want to talk about it now that it's done." Against Stanford, Penn State was limited to a measly .091 hitting per centage and recorded just 3.0 total team blocks. It seems fitting the Cardinal were the ones to finally crack the Lions. Stanford was the last team to beat Penn State back on September 15, 2007. Passion Pit From Page 1 to Penn State because it epitomizes their goal. "We want to help students live a more green-sustainable life," Kaslow said. Once it was decided that the CCT wanted to come to Penn State, there was one more hurdle to jump wile:- to hold the concert. That's when the Bryce Jordan Center came in the picture. BJC Sales and Marketing Director Bernie Punt say ..37 were somewhat reluctant to brui t • the show in, but only because of how many shows are already booked at the venue. Sept. 11 From Page 1. said. "That act of American spirit began our healing." Corman ended his address by stressing the importance of national unity. He said no matter what politi cal, religious, or cultural affiliation people have, they still represent one country as American people. "If we grab that spirit, we will con tinue to be the greatest nation on earth," Corman said. End. Ergler said the initiative has been discussed for several years and involves new design plans for the area. New retail shops, convenience stores, benches and lighting all serve as components of the design plan, which attempts to cater to both the growing student popula tion and the permanent resident population, she said. The council will not vote on any plans at the meeting tonight, but a public hearing scheduled for Nov. 1 will allow both students and per manent residents to voice their opinions about the designs, Ergler said. Also on the agenda is Mayor The day was a success, Kelly (senior-marketing) said, because it was a chance for everyone to get to know each other, share advice and talk about goals for the year. "There was a lot of energy and excitement in the room while we talked about what we'll accomplish together this year," Kelly said. During the workshop, the cap tains created cheers and assem bled into various groups to discuss the upcoming challenges ahead on the road leading to THON. "We mixed all the different cap tains up, so students got the chance to talk to people from dif ferent committees," THON Overall Public Relations Chairwoman Jony Rommel said. Many of the goals talked about during the orientation were geared toward continuing to improve THON, getting to know the families performance through two games. "Poor," Bradley said. "We've got a long way to go, a lot of work to do." Bradley harped on the Lions' inability to tackle, and it was never more evident than on Alabama's first touchdown. Crimson Tide wide receiver Kevin Norwood caught what should have been a 12-yard gain and split a pair of arm tackles before flipping head first into the end zone to cap a 36-yard touch down reception. The speed of Alabama's offense impressed Bradley, but he said even that could have been neutralized with execution. "It's no excuse," Bradley said. "They did a good job, but fundamen tally we have to work on our tack ling, our pursuit and our hustle." Junior running back Stephfon Green said the gameplan was there, but the execution wasn't. He dis- The Lions had beaten Stanford three times since then, most notably in the finals of the 2007 and 2008 national championships. Cardinal coach John Dunning called Saturday night's win "really exciting" for his team. "We had lost some really big matches in that streak to Penn State, so to have a chance to win a match against them was really great," Dunning said. "They're a great team and have been fora long time." During the streak, Penn State lost just 19 sets and won an unprece dented three consecutive national championships. But on Saturday night, the Lions were simply out-classed. Cardinal Alix Klineman had a match-high 16 kills and 10 digs, while four Penn State starters -- Arielle Wilson, Blair Brown, Deja "We have to make sure we have enough room in between shows," Punt said. "[Students] don't have a lot of discretionary income." Punt said once the BJC realized how many people wanted the CCT and Passion Pit to come to Penn State, the show had to go on. "It was kind of meant to be if we have this many people interested," Punt said. For Rachel Hoh (sophomore community environment and devel opment), Passion Pit's environmen tal morals are just as important as their music. Hoh said she tried to see Passion Pit over the summer, but her plans fell through and she's been looking for another chance to see them ever since. State Rep. Scott Conklin, D- Centre, also spoke and said he is grateful to the police officers and firefighters who risk their lives every day to keep the citizens of this country safe. State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham gave the final speech. She spoke about treasuring the local community and said it's important not to allow the events of 9/11 to diminish the spirit of Happy Valley. After the speeches, Anthony Christina, a University Park Undergraduate Association repre- THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Elizabeth Goreham's presentation of a proclamation that will desig nate Oct. 10 as "TEDxPSU Day" . This is the Technology, Entertainment and Design (TEDx) event's first year in State College, and will provide an opportunity for guest speakers to offer insight about innovation, culture and knowledge. The expo will be held at Penn State's Schwab Auditorium, Goreham said. The borough council will meet at 7:30 p.m. in room 304 of the Municipal Building, 234 S. Allen St., and all meetings are open to the public. To e-mail reporter: arms373@psu.edu better and spending more time with the kids, Rommel (senior-phi losophy) said. The returning captains gave advice to the first-years, which made the day even better, Rommel said. Being a first year captain, Gordon enjoyed the guidance from the seasoned THON veterans. "Everyone was so welcoming and so great," Gordon said. "It wasn't intimidating at all." As a way for captains to connect, the workshop created an atmos phere for everyone to get excited, trade stories and expand their THON family. Captains even got to share their fears they have for THON 2011, which Gordon described as corn forting. To e-mail reporter: vhgsoo3@psu.edu agreed with Paterno's statement that the Lions weren't adequately prepared. "It's a frustrating feeling when you get your behinds kicked," he said. "24-3, when you know that if you just execute plays, we could win that game." Only a late field goal helped the Lions avoid being shut out for the first time since 2001. Three points is the team's lowest point total since a 13-3 loss at Wisconsin in 2006. The game also marked Paterno's return to Alabama 20 years after the Lions ended an annual series that lasted throughout the 'Bos. "I didn't think about being back in Alabama," Paterno said. "I'm just trying to think I thought we had a little bit better football team than we showed today." To e-mail reporter: ajcs23B@psu.edu McClendon and Katie Kabbes posted hitting percentages of less than .300. Rose, who has always been reluc tant to talk about the streak, was quick to note that this year's team is different than his teams in years' past. Gone are Megan Hodge and Alisha Glass, two All-Americans who graduated last spring as part of the winningest class in school histo ry The 2010 Lions are a squad that features nine freshmen and a lineup that, eight games into the season, is still not finalized. "It's not realistic to expect three freshmen on the floor to maintain the traditions of the previous teams," Rose said. "[On Saturday] Stanford was the better team." To e-mail reporter: exkso49@psu.edu She said once she found out that Passion Pit was coming to Penn State to promote greener living coupled with the fact that the show is only $2O for students her future was set. "It couldn't be more perfect," Hoh said. All tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. today and cost $32.50 for the public and $2O for Penn State stu dents. There will be a special student sale at the HUB from noon to 3 p.m Wednesday. Tickets can also be bought at the Bryce Jordan Center Eisenhower Auditorium, Penn State Downtown Theatre Center, online and at 814-865-5555. To e-mail reporter: tjbs267@psu.edu sentative and the vice chairman the Penn State Colleg Republicans, called for a moment silence. Christina (sophomore-politic science and history) said he pleased by the turnout, es since there hasn't been a 9/11 memorial on campus in Mre years. "We've grown complacent and forgotten those feelings we at! had the day after 9/11," Christina said. "We need that spirit back" To e-mail reporter. kmws34o@psu.edu
