Iran could release American woman
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) After a power struggle within Iran's
conservative leadership put her freedom in doubt, an
American woman arrested more than a year ago along the
Iraq border is on the verge of heading home. Her two com
panions, however, could be on their way to spy trials.
Sarah Shourd could be released in the "next two or three
days" or even sooner after $500,000 bail is paid, said
Masoud Shafiei, the Iranian lawyer for Shourd and the other
detained Americans, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal.
Penn State professor Djelal Kadir will speak on "A Delicate
Subject: Comparative Literature, Erich Auerbach, and Penn

Council to hold first fall meeting
In its first meeting since stu
dents' return for the fall semester,
the State College Borough Council
will discuss proposals about
upcoming town events and solidify
plans for zoning initiatives.
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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-

This is the Technology,

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.

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."

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."

silence.
Christina (sophomore-politic

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

"We need that spirit back"
