Police to host pharmaceutical take-back The State College Police Department is hosting a pharma ceutical take-back event Saturday from 10 am. to 2 pm at 543 S. Allen St Residents of State College are encouraged to take any unused medications to the police department where they will dispose of them property and keep the chemicals from getting into wastewater, said Susan Buda, chairwoman of the envi ronmental committee of the League of Women Voters of Centre County. Buda said that levels of common medications like antibi otics and birth control have been detected in wastewater for some years due to people disposing of their leftover medicines in sinks and toilets. Wastewater treatment facilities have been largely successful in removing most of the chemicals, she said. To main* sure that drinking water supplies are not contam inated in the future, residents should find alternative methods of disposal like the pharmaceutical take back event, Buda said. V!

Jamie leder LOCAL Weather: Eft Biden From Page 1. man of the College Republicans, said that regardless of his party affil iation, he was excited to hear that Biden would be coming. The vice president is from the border area between Pennsylvania and Delaware, and knows Pennsylvania well. “He’s been called Pa.’s third sena tor,” Christina (sophomore-political science and history) said. “I have nothing but respect for him.” Allen From Page 1. “No doubt about that” On Wednesday the pathologist who performed Davis’ autopsy, Dr. Harry Kamerow, testified that Davis suffered multiple blows to the head injuries that caused trauma and contributed to her death. But Vey argued that the abrasions which resulted in no skull frac tures or brain swelling were non lethal and not a contributing factor in Davis’ death. Other injuries on Davis’ knuckles were characteristic of offensive marks from a fist strik ing something, Vey said. The injuries to the back of Davis’ hands were defensive marks from protect ing the head from a strike, Vey said. The prosecution argued that the ESPN2 From Page 1.

He is very involved in the program and very committed to the Pegula From Page 1. my degree in petroleum and natural gas engineering.” Joe Battista, recently named the associate athletic director for ice arena operations and director of the ice arena and hockey campaign, said with Penn State receiving less money from the state each year, a facility like this would never have been possible without the donation from Pegula “In this day and age in rising costs, there’s less discretionary money available,” Battista said. “In order for a facility of this nature to be built, that is really going to serve the whole university community and all the people of Centre County and beyond, the fact that it’s being fund ed completely by private donations is unprecedented. ” From the bottom up, Pegula hopes the facility supports much more than Division I hockey. Pegula, the president and CEO of East Resources Inc., an independ ent exploration and development company, said he sees the rink as a place the community’s youth can go —but not only to learn the sport “Like any sport, if you excel at it, you become a better person,” Pegula said. Battista also said there are plans to have a skating academy, competi tive figure skating programs and youth and adult hockey leagues. “People will be able to play in the NHL the Nittany Hockey League,” Battista said. “This thing is going to serve so many. It is a gift of a recreational facility that the entire area is going to benefit from.” Overall though, Pegula’s competi tive drive makes having Penn State’s new varsity hockey pro grams becoming a success a top pri ority. “At the top of the list is for Penn State to become a well-respected and highly-competitive winning Division I hockey program,” Pegula said. “I don’t like to lose, so I want this program to be successful” _ ' JJU, Extended forecast Tonight lomoa ™ n Jlft campujweathersenfce.coot Low 61 Courtesy of Campus Weather Service Caitlin Motley (graduate-health, policy and administration) said it was important for politicians to make themselves visible to students because the student population is often caught up in activities. Motley said she expects the vice president to talk about get ting students to vote in the upcom ing elections. “A lot of people think it’s only important to vote for presidents, which is counter-intuitive,” she said. “We have a much greater impact on our state legislation that we do on the president.” marks on Davis’ hands were indica tive of self-defense during a struggle one in which she was raped. On Tuesday the prosecution proved that DNA found on two sepa rate condoms matched DNA sam ples taken from both Allen and Davis. Vey testified that the sexual event between Allen and Davis was within 20 minutes of Davis’ death. But no specific injuries Davis sus tained could prove if the sex was consensual, Vey said. It could also not be determined if the sex was post-mortem or occurred while Davis was still alive, he said. During closing arguments the defense argued that Allen was guilty of involuntary manslaughter but not of first-, second-, or third-degree murder. The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Allen killed Davis, said Allen’s attor- The Penn State Blue Band, cheer- “I love ‘SportsNation.’ I just want leaders and men’s basketball point ed to check it out,” Lyons (fresh guard Talor Battle appeared for the man-landscape architecture) said, broadcast.

DeChellis was unable to attend Thursday’s event due to a recruiting commitment. His wife, Kim DeChellis however, was in atten dance. DeChellis started a Coaches vs. Cancer program while he was the basketball coach at East Tennessee State University, and got even more involved after moving back to Penn State. The prize for Thursday’s event A rags to riches story Pegula grew up in Carbondale;' Pa., in northeastern Pennsylvania, in what he described as a poor fami ly- His father was a coal miner and truck driver. They never owned a house it was always rented. Early on, Pegula’s mother decid ed he should attend Scranton Preparatory School before attend ing college. After graduating, he needed to stay in-state because of costs. He chose Penn State because it was close and for its academic reputa tion, but those weren’t the only rea sons. “I had always liked Penn State when I was growing up because I liked lions and tigers,” Pegula said with a chuckle. “You know how kids are, right?” His time at Penn State was spent in the petroleum and natural gas engineering program, where he would go on to graduate with 13 oth ers in 1973. Pegula said the most exciting part for him was knowing there was no question if he would get a job offer upon graduating because petroleum engineers were in high demand. Ten years later, he began the now multibillion dollar company, East Resources Inc., in 1983. But it wasn’t smooth sailing from the start He needed first to acquire money to start the company. “I’m not going to use the words ‘no money,’ but I didn’t have a lot of money myself, personally,” Pegula said. So he turned to the people he could trust most —his parents. Pegula’s father had received between $25,000 and $30,000 for black lung benefits from his time working in the mines, which made the start-up possible. Twenty-seven years after starting his company with $7,500 from his parents, East Resources was sold for $4.7 billion to Royal Dutch Shell in 2010. Building the new rink As Penn State begins the process of building the new arena, Pegula The Daily Collegian Ghormoz said he expects to hear Biden talk about supporting Senate candidate Joe Sestak, D-Pa., and gubernatorial candidate Dan Onorato, D-Pa., at the event. He said he encourages students to come hear Biden’s speech and show the government why Penn State is not a place to be ignored. “It’s not every day you get to see the vice president, and it’s not every day he comes to Penn State,” Ghormoz said. “It’s our chance to show them how important we are.” To e-mail reporter kmws34o@psu.edu ney, Steven Passarello. But Blair County Deputy District Attorney Wade Kagarise and District Attorney Richard A. Consiglio argued that a “mountain of evidence” showed that Allen raped and killed Davis. “There has never been a more clear case of first-degree murder,” Consiglio said. The jury reconvened just half an hour before reaching their final ver dict to ask a question about the dif ference between first- and second degree murder. In total, the jury took two hours and 44 minutes to reach a guilty verdict. Allen, who declined to testify on his behalf during the trial, is sched uled for sentencing on December 14 at 9 a.m. To e-mail reporter: z|gsol2@psu.edu To e-mail reporter: m]hsso7@psu.edu was a Ford Shelby GTSOO car. In the Reverse Car Drawing, the last named called was the lucky winner of the new car. Penn State student, John Hanson (senior-microbiology) said he splurged for the expensive raffle ticket because the money is going to a “good cause.” “I’ve dreamt of one day owning this car since I was 13 years old,” he said. “If I don’t win, at least my money’s going to a great cause.” To email reporter: Jmas349@psu.edu said he has general input on poten tial features of the rink. “I will work with the university for certain generalized design consider ations,” Pegula said. “It really would be nice to make this thing pleasing to the eye, too, besides functional” He said he will turn to his wife, Kim, to get ideas for possible physi cal features of the arena “I will be leaving it up to the archi tect, as I only have experience with houses, not hockey arenas,” Kim Pegula said. “That said, they have to make it fun for the fan.” Ideas for the possible features will stem from trips made to hockey rinks around the country. Together Pegula, Battista and members of the Penn State athletic department traveled to schools such as Miami (Ohio), Minnesota and Notre Dame to gather ideas. Pegula said he gained a lot of respect for Penn State President Graham Spanier during the trips. Spanier would ask the schools what they did wrong, what they would do differently and the mis takes they made during the con struction of their rinks. Pegula was thoroughly impressed with many of the rinks he visited, especially Minnesota’s. “When you go to Gopher land, you know you have to get up to snuff real fast,” Pegula said. “That’s an intimi dating looking program.” Pegula said the Sept. 17 announcement has generated a lot of favorable interest into the univer sity. “I myself received a call from [NHL commissioner] Gary Bettman congratulating us on the announce ment and said we are doing a lot for the sport of hockey,” Pegula said. “I can’t believe all the excitement this has created in the hockey world.” In the end, Battista said Pegula’s dedication to the sport of hockey is what finally brought the Division I programs to Penn State. “I thought I loved hockey,” Battista said. “I have never met any body as passionate about the game of hockey as Terry Pegula.” To e-mail reporter acbsls2@psu.edu
