Student injured in motorcycle crash
A Penn State student was injured in a motorcycle crash
when he lost control of his vehicle Friday afternoon in
Patton Township, the Patton Township Police Department
said.
Robert Gehman, 22, was traveling at a high speed and was
unable to negotiate a turn in the road near the 500 block of
Vairo Boulevard, police said, causing him to fly from the
motorcycle and land in the nearby woods. Gehman, of State
College, fractured both of his legs in the crash, police said.
Officials at Mount Nittany Medical Center confirmed that
he was treated at the hospital but could not provide any
additional information.
Police said Gehman was wearing a helmet at the time of
the crash and charges from speeding are pending.
Police: Two male students assaulted
Penn State Police said two assaults were reported on
campus this weekend.
On Saturday, police said a male Penn State student
reported at 5:04 p.m. that an unknown man assaulted him
outside of Stuart Hall.
Police said the student was evaluated by University
Ambulance Services but refused further treatment.
Another incident was reported at about 3:15 a.m. Sunday,
police said, when a male visitor told police he was assaulted
in the Red V parking lot. Police said they were unable to
locate the suspect in the second incident. Investigations into
both incidents are ongoing, police said.
Police: Delivery vehicle stolen
A Pizza Hut delivery vehicle was stolen at 11:01 p.m.
Saturday after it was sitting outside of Park Hill
Apartments, 478 E. Beaver Ave., the State College Police
Department said.
Police said the stolen vehicle is a red, two-door Chevrolet
Cobalt with a magnetic Pizza Hut sign and a license plate
number “GCG1373.” It was last seen driving south on Hetzel
Street and turning left onto East Prospect Avenue by a wit
ness to the incident, police said.
Jeep fire reported
The fire marshal is investigating a jeep fire that was
reported at 4:17 a.m. Saturday at 218 S. Sparks St., the State
College Police Department said.
The jeep was fully engulfed in flames, police said, and the
incident is being investigated as an arson.
Police could not say if this incident is connected to any of
the arsons that occurred in State College over the summer.

some uncensored jokes from

Jess Korpacz said she hadn’t

she attended his show.
“The parts when he talked about

about throwing a bag of cheese off

The Big Ten released a statement
saying a decision on the formation of
a Big Ten hockey conference will not
be made without significant discus
sion.
As far as appointing a head coach,
Curley said he would begin review
ing candidates within the next year.
Commenting on the speculation,
Curley said he had preliminary talks
with the five Big Ten schools who
currently offer Big Ten hockey and
they agreed to begin discussions
about a possible conference at the
October Big Ten meetings.
While the decision hasn’t been
made yet, Curley does anticipate the
varsity teams to go by the universi
ty’s signature name, the Nittany
Lions, rather than their current
name, the leers.
The next step the university will
take is appointing an architect for
the construction of the state-of-the
art facility. The new facility has not
been named yet but Curley said he

of mass consumption devices such
as beer bongs; a ban on liquor over
80 proof and on serving shots to
guests.
Sims said he is going to start
meeting individually with every stu
dent facing expulsion or suspension
because of alcohol-related issues
in his opinion, a personal approach
has the “best promise for success.”
Alcohol mitigation efforts were
not the only topic of the meeting.
The board approved Penn State’s
request for $17.2 million from the
Commonwealth, totaling the univer
sity’s appropriations from the state
at $364.2 million. That funding would
increase in-state tuition for the 2011-
2012 academic year by 2.9 percent at
Commonwealth Campuses and 4.9
percent at University Park. Out-of
state tuition would increase 2.9 per
cent at Commonwealth Campuses
and 3.5 percent at University Park,

Spanier said.

many of whom included members of

Tau Kappa Epsilon member
Tanner Fitzgerald (sophomore

Men Against Violence, and said it
was important for fraternities and

“Sometimes you have to realize to
make the offense great, to help your
team win, you might get less car
ries,” Zug said. “You might get less
catches, and you just have to make
the most out of your opportunities.”
Brown wouldn’t say whether he
knew the starting spot was his lead
ing into the game.
But on the other side of the ball,
Dailey said he expected getting
extra playing time before Saturday.
The coaching staff made it a point in
practice that no one had a spot
nailed down. Similarly, on
Wednesday, the coaches informed
Massaro he would start. Massaro
said he didn’t want to get himself too
campus, so I think it will bring a lot
of interest.”

“We knew we were going to get
our money’s worth, and hopefully
people will even walk away with
some new songs in their heads,” she
said.
The opening dance competition
for the concert is an event everyone
can benefit from, 'Rifts said. The
dance groups will be able to perform
for the student body and also pro
mote individual group names, she
added.
SPA Executive Director Zack
Krieger (junior-bioengineering) said
he is confident in the decision to
headline the event with Boys Like

Meyers either, but attended because
he likes “Saturday Night Live.”
The $9.99 student ticket price,
sponsored by the University Park

reasonable, he said.
“My favorite i joke was the one
about the girls with their cameras,”
Stanbaugh (freshman-finance) said,
referring to the comedian’s com
plaints about groups of girls who ask
to have their picture taken on each
of their cameras.
“It’s so true,” Stambaugh said.
After the show, Meyers came back
on stage to do a question-and
answer segment with the audience.
He answered questions about
writing for the showand his favorite
skits, among other things.

Curley also believes the teams
will be financially self-sustaining, cit

tion from hockey hotbeds including
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and
Hershey.
Besides collegiate hockey, Curley
said the new rink could also be used
for figure skating and NHL exhibi
tion games, as well as for concerts
and other university events.
Joe Battista, the former leers
coach who helped his team to 10
straight ACHA club championship
appearances, said his reaction to the
announcement was very emotional.
“I bawled my eyes out,” Battista
said. “I’m an emotional guy and
everyone that knows me knows I
wear my heart out on my sleeve.
When Tterry announced he wanted
to make this happen, it was a dream
come true.”

“These increases reflect our con
tinued efforts to keep tuition as low
as possible despite rising costs,”
Spanier said.
The appropriations would help
support many parts of the university,
including Hershey Medical Center,
salary adjustments and employee
benefits, and the Educational and
General Budget, among others,
Spanier said.
Spanier’s State of the University
Address was shown to the board at
Friday’s meeting. He delivered the
video address in four parts aimed at
four groups of people: students, fac
ulty staff and alumni. The address
pointed out how Penn State’s 89 per
cent graduation rate for student ath
letes is among the top nationally,
that alumni live in all 50 states and
162 countries and how Penn State’s
$BOO million in research expendi
tures this year places it among the
top research institutions.

excited for the start, but instead, he
approached the game as if it was
“business as usual.”
“I was actually pretty calm before
the game,” Massaro said. “The only
difference is I’m coming out on the
first play instead of the 10th or the
15th play, so it really wasn’t much
different for me.”
The changes occurred, in part, as
a result of the tougher, short-leash
mentality instilled in the team last
week. The Lions practiced in full
pads twice as opposed to once, the
normal amount.
“It was a pretty tough week,”
Bradley said. “And I’d imagine this
week would be the same.”

“They’ve toured with a lot of other

Annie Ignasiak (junior-human

said she was excited to see Boys
Like Girls for more than one reason.
“I like the pop aspect of their
music,” she said. “They have a cho
rus and verse, so it’s not just punk

He also hinted that Amy Poehler,
his former “Weekend Update” co
anchor, might join him at the desk
again when she hosts the season
premiere this Saturday.
But Tom Heemer thought the
question-and-answer session
“ruined it.”
He wished Meyers had just ended
the show with his last joke.
Heemer (senior-history) said the
comedian remained hilarious, but
he didn’t like the questions that were
asked.
But overall, the show was enjoy
able, he said. “He had realty good
flow,” Heemer said. “I can’t pick a
favorite part.”
