Murphy posthumously received the Medal of Honor for his service to his nation as a Navy Seal in 2007, presented to his parents by former President George W. Bush, and recently received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Penn State Alumni Association. “No one among our ranks is more Khaled From Page 1. area of the world that is so relevant today.” Different from all other speakers in the past, Hosseini’s presentation will be entirely in a question-and answer format, McConnell said. Up until last Friday, students could e-mail questions they had for Hosseini, which a moderator will ask the author during the first half of his presentation. After the modera tor has asked all those questions, audience members can approach the microphone and ask Hosseini any other question they may have. Muslim Student Association (MSA) Vice President Shawn Munir said that though he is not much of a reader, he is a fan of “The Kite Runner” and will be attending Hosseini’s lecture. Munir’s father was bom in Debate From Page 1. on the topic during a question and answer session. While most said they thought the debate went well, some had mixed responses. “I was realty pleased with how it turned out,” Erica Wertheim (sopho more- psychology and marketing) said. “I was glad to see how many people there were who wanted to ask questions it was great to see them so enthusiastic.” Everardo Tapia said he wished there was a greater emphasis on the human aspect of the issue since it’s not just an “immigrant issue but an undocumented people issue,” he said. “A lot of people don’t know what the issue is so it’s a good thing that we had a forum to learn about the two sides of the issue and how the two sides are approaching the issue,” Tapia (junior-petroleum and natural gas engineering) said.

A Eacebook group and blog supporting Harvey surfaced and hundreds of his current and former students voiced their displeasure with the move. psucollegian.com “It was like getting to have your funeral while you were still alive,” John’s wife, Judy, said of the student reaction. “John was very touched.” The paper’s Board of Directors voted unanimously to re-instate Harvey less than two months later. Hamilton announced his resignation less than two months after that. “I never understood it because he had always been such a great advis er and confidant when I had been there,” said Collegian Alumni Interest Group board member Andrew Staub, speaking on personal experience from his days as a stu dent reporter at the Collegian and not on behalf of the board. ..Elizabeth Murphy Alex Weisler .Beth Ann Downey .Andrew Metcalf Staub and former Collegian reporter Wade Malcolm helped organize a surprise party for Harvey.

The guest speaker for the night was author Gary Williams, who pub lished “Seal of Honor,” a biography about Lt Murphy’s life, in May and is touring the East Coast to promote the book. He spoke to the audience about leadership, drawing on anecdotes and experiences documented in his book to demonstrate how Lt. Murphy epitomized a strong leader. Among many abilities, Williams said, Lt. Murphy proved that he learned from his mistakes, con trolled his emotions even when faced with death and listened to oth ers. The father of Lt. Muiphy, Dan Murphy, also attended the banquet. He presented a video tribute to the audience after dinner and spoke about his son’s years at Penn State. Pakistan and told his son stories about flying kites through the streets when he was a boy—similar to Amir, the main character in the “Kite Runner” who flies kites with his best friend and servant, Hassan. The character Amir, like Hosseini, has a wealthy and mostly peaceful life in Afghanistan until the Soviets invade his country and his life is for ever changed. “The book is told from a civilian perspective,” Munir (junior-energy engineering) said. “It showed how the country changed right before his eyes.” Munir said he thinks the novel’s popularity has helped clear up some people’s misconceptions about the Middle East. “Most of what people know about Afghanistan is what they see in the news. They think that it has always been this war-tom supremacist soci ety,” Munir said. “But before then it was a pretty neat place. It had its “Mr. Stein made some intriguing points and Mr. Morones represented Border Angels with a lot of integrity and charisma.” Lindsay Trujillo (senior-biochem istry and molecular biology) said she thought Stein gave strong examples of immigration reform policies, while Morones put more of a com passionate face to the issue but also used the debate to promote his own organization. At different points during the debate, Morones encouraged stu dents to purchase his T-shirts with the phrase “Who Would Jesus Deport?” since the proceeds would go toward Morones’ faith-based non profit advocacy group for immi grants’ rights, he said. Trtijillo said she also felt that there was too much arguing between the debaters and not enough focus on coming up with past and present, gathered at Damon Grill’s on short notice to see their adviser and watch Penn State football one last time with him in State College. Malcolm, Class of 2006, recalled conversations he had with Harvey after he finished school. Malcolm was working in Pittsburgh and his then-girlfriend, now current wife Nichole Dobo, another Collegian alumna, was working in Wilkes- Barre. “I was hying to figure out what to do next, as far as balancing profes sional success with my personal life and wanting to satisfy both things,” Malcolm said. “Going back and forth, I would pass through State College at the time. I would just stop in, go up to his office and just talk to him.” After having cake with his stu dents Wednesday, Harvey went back .to his office to tear down several sheets of paper that hung on his wall: an excerpt from William Faulkner’s “As I Lay Dying,” a Walter Lippmann journalism saying and Carl Jung’s “Stages of Life.” Harvey then sat back behind his desk and reflected on his tenure at the Collegian, a conversation that Cannon said there will be resource tables set up by different groups and organizations that focus on safety, such as Men Against Violence, University Health Services and the Centre Country Women’s Resource Center (CCWRC). CCWRC Executive Director Anne Ard said the group decided to take part in the event because enhancing safety is part of its mission. CCWRC attended last year’s Campus Night Out, she said. “Anytime you have an event for the first time, I think people aren’t sure what it’s going to be like,” Ard The Daily Collegian Dan Murphy recounted one long drive to Penn State from the family’s home in Long Island on a Sunday night, when Michael Murphy told his father he wanted to be a Navy Seal. “As a combat veteran injured in Vietnam, I was hesitant about the idea,” Dan Muiphy said. “But to say I’m proud of him is an understate ment” Lt. Murphy died in Afghanistan in 2005 after putting his own life in jeopardy to save his men, who were outnumbered by Taliban fighters 50 to one, Dan Murphy said. John Groenveld, Central Pennsylvania Council president and coordinator of the event, said the event served not only to highlight the service of Lt. Murphy, but to also honor the members of the military in attendance. Williams will be signing more copies of “Seal of Honor” from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the HUB’S book store, and both he and Dan Murphy will address Penn State’s full ROTC unit about leadership today.

As the son of an illegal immigrant himseffi Ernesto Alvarado said he thought the debate was great and helped show two very different points of view on the topic of immi gration. “Mr. Stein made some intriguing points and Mr. Morones represented Border Angels with a lot of integrity and charisma,” Alvarado (graduate international affairs) said. While he said he was disappointed there wasn’t a consensus on solu tions to the problem, Alvarado acknowledged there usually isn’t with debates regarding these kinds of issues. To e-mail reporter: aqgsoB7@psu.edu inevitably returned to his firing last May. A then-56-year-old getting fired for the first time made for a very dif ficult experience, he said. But the greatest thing that ever happened to him came out of it “Within hours I had this incredibly humbling experience of students coming to my defense,” Harvey said, holding back tears. “And I know that whatever happened in my life, I was redeemed.” Harvey will do some more pack ing Thursday before hopping in his car Friday morning. He’ll stay in Roanoke, Va., Friday night and arrive in Savannah, Ga., on Saturday, just in time to watch Penn State play. On Monday morning he’ll walk into his new office, at a school half the size of his old one. He’ll hang up a poster he bought downtown in 1998, on his first trip to the James Building, when he was set to begin teaching for the first time in his life. It’s covered in signatures by Collegian reporters, along with a picture of Bob Marley. It reads: “Redemption Song.” To e-mail reporter mjfs2l7@psu.edu said. “I think that UPUA and Christian in particular have done a realty great job in talking about the importance of [safety] , so I expect it to be a better event this year.” Cannon said she encourages everyone to attend Campus Night Out. “We think it’s realty important to address the issue of campus safety,” Cannon said. “It’s one of our main initiatives this year. I think [Campus Night Out] is a great way to central ize all the resources that are avail able to the students.” To e-mail reporter: krislo6@psu.edu
