He said “The Kite Runner” began as a short story that was inspired by a news segment he saw on kite flying in Afghanistan, which reminded him of his own childhood. He admitted that the Sept. 11 attacks created an interest in “everything Afghan” and probably did help him get published.

Claybom racked up 70 tackles, 20 for a loss, and had 11.5 sacks. His all-conference season cul minated with an Orange Bowl MVP award in the Hawkeyes’ 24-14 win over Georgia Tech. His national recognition started, for the most part, on one play last year in Happy Valley. \Wth the Hawkeyes trailing Penn State by five in a rain-soaked slugfest, Claybom broke through the fine to block a punt, scooped the ball up and sprint ed 53 yards for a game-changing and season-changing score. The play put the Hawkeyes in the Big Ten tide hunt and effectively ended Penn State’s national title aspirations. But for Jenkins, the play was just the first national exhibition of what he has seen for years. “He’s been making those plays since he was playing in high school,” Jenkins said. “We were all ecstatic because it put him on the map, but as for as the family and people around Webster, he’s just always excelled. It was nothing new for us.” Now that Claybom is making those sorts of plays on a national LOCAL iH T r«?= :f") ,o iTi gjjjgr V / "’8" Courtesy of Campus Weather Seivice Zach Dugan (freshman-public afternoon and were able to sit under relations) said sitting in the rain for building awnings said the rain tam hours would only be worth it if he pered his experience, and his friends get their desired liv- “You can’t really socialize as much ing space next year. because of the rain,” Mike Uhas “If we get those apartments, it’ll (sophomore-elementaiy education) be worth it,” he said. “Basically the said. most miserable experience you “Everyone was wrapped in trash would possibly imagine I’m not bags if they didn’t have a tent.” gonna sugarcoat it.” Even students who arrived in apartment lines early Thursday soon shifted to the past current-day state of Afghanistan. Hosseini, who lived in Afghanistan before the invasion of Soviet Russia in 1979, said that when he was a child in Kabul he never heard a sin gle gunshot go off and his life was very peaceful. “The Soviet invasion defines so much of what Afghanistan is today,” he said. “And to some people in the audience, Afghanistan started with 9/11. There was an Afghanistan before this. It is a very ancient coun try.” Karim Bataineh (senior-commu nity environment and development) said that he liked the author’s dis cussion blit had some disappoint ments. “I liked it in general. I understand that he needed to talk about politics. But I was hoping he’d talk a little Russia for a year. He said he hopes to get a consulting job in strategy and operations if he does not receive the scholarship. Levi’s adventurous side appears whenever he takes off the suit as well. He bicycled more than 4,000 miles across the country last summer. In two years, he said he plans on beginning a sail-around-the-world tour with his brother. “I’m still young, so why not?” Levi said, laughing. Alyssa Gagarin (junior-musical theatre) befriended Levi before his full-time run as mascot. As a singer, she entertained sity and our community” Myford said. As soon as they heard the propos al, Kelly (senior-marketing) said the Overall Committee was excited to work with Penn State athletics and the Washington Redskins. Though the Nov. 20 game is not a home game, Rommel (senior-philos ophy) said she hopes to see many students make the trip to FedEx Field. And, she said, there are a lot of Penn State alumni in the area around FedEx Field. Student ticket purchases will pro ceed like most away games except with a student block and “Ride FTK” package. Tickets for the game have been on sale for a while, but starting today, 5 percent of the proceeds will be cream store Thursday night to pass out free ice cream tickets to passersby alongside her mother, Gloria Harvold, and Maggie Russell. Hamilton and Russell are both wish-granters for the foundation, responsible for meeting Make-a- Wish families in the Centre County area and telling Make-a-Wish chil dren that their wishes have been granted. “I’ve granted 27 wishes to 27 chil dren,” Russell said. “And I haven’t lost one.” She said she still keeps in touch with the local Make-a-Wish children she once made smile, and has seen many of them graduate high school, go off to college and get married over her 14 years as a wish-granter. Russell has been participating in the annual ice cream social for the stage, he tries to avoid the attention he receives by focusing on next week’s game. But Claybom does have time to make hospital visits to ill children. When he enters the room, the man who plays before mil lions on national TV the man who will eventually play on Sundays starts to feel a bit anxious. “They’re usually in shock,” Claybom said of the kids’ reactions to seeing one of their heroes. “I’m usually just as nervous as they are. It’s fun to visit the little kids and get the reaction out of them. It puts a smile on my face as much as it does theirs.” Both Ice and Jenkins said that humble, respectful attitude comes directly from Clayborn’s mother, Trade, who raised her three chil dren as a single mom in St. Louis. “In a lot of ways she kind of has that shy, quiet personality, and she’s passed that on,” Jenkins said. “Growing up in the pity and seeing some of the things that we saw growing up, it just can humble you. To be in a position where you’re able to get out of that and do things dif ferent from the norm it’s a hum bling experience.” Hade wouldn't let her son play football until sixth grade because of shoulder problems growing up, but Claybom always had a love for the game.

As an international student from Jordan, Bataineh said that he liked how he put the Afghans’ lives and situations into perspective. “I can relate to what he was say ing about how the media mostly depicts Muslims,” Bataineh said. “Understanding another person’s country is so important. The scale of which we measure democracy is very different than how we measure democracy” Peter Breen (freshman-chem istry) said that seeing the author in person made him relate to his books even more. “I thought it was incredible. He seemed like such an easy person to talk to,” he said. To e-mail reporter: ImlsolB@psu.edu guests with Levi at tailgates hosted by Penn State President Graham Spanier. She said she has been wowed with his vigor. “He’s been incredibly busy with so much work. I don’t understand how he has so much energy” Gagarin (junior-musical theater) said. Though Levi’s run ended Thursday, he said he was willing to hand back his suit to veteran Gyory. “There’s always a sense of attach ment to a position when you do it for a while. It’s been a great ride,” he said. To e-mail reporter: mjhsso7@psu.edu donated to THON, he said. “There’s obviously a significant opportunity to raise a great deal of money for THON and we’re fully supportive of doing that,” he said. And of course, he said, it’s a per fect chance to fill up an away game with a crowd of blue and white. Lower level student section tick ets cost $95 and upper level student section tickets cost $6O, he said. But students who wait until Oct. 18 to purchase their tickets will have the opportunity to buy a ticket package that includes a “Ride FTK” option: roundtrip transportation to FedEx Field, Myford said. The cost of the package still needs to be deter mined, he said. To e-mail reporter: mers2oo@psu.edu past four years, she said. Brenda Kelly, store manager for Cold Stone Creamery in Altoona, said several hundred locals and Penn State students attended past socials to taste the ice cream sam ples and donate to the Make-a-Wish Foundation. “The customers were out the door and down the street,” Kelly said. “There’s always a really nice turnout in State College. The kids really love to help.” The State College Cold Stone Creamery has been selling the Make-a-Wish Foundation’s signa ture paper stars all month to raise awareness about the social, which served as a culmination of their fundraising efforts. To e-mail reporter: arms373@psu.edu Claybom was playing both offense and defense at the time. Ice thought he was taking plays off because he was winded. The coaching staff suggested a long-distance running program in the offseason. And despite his 6-foot-4, 285- pound frame, Claybom participated. Claybom’s hard work is the rea son Penn State left tackle Quinn Barham had Claybom as his phone background during the off season, in preparation for what will arguably be his toughest challenge this year. The hard work is the reason right tackle Chima Okoli, who will make his first start Saturday, has faced questions about “being thrown into' the fire” all week. “That kid’s as good as anybody there is,” Joe Paterno said. “[Okoli’s] gonna have troubles. Everybody else in the country who’s played against him has had trou bles.” But excuse Claybom if he hasn’t heard Patemo’s praise yet. During football season, there aren’t enough hours in the day to worry about what a college football legend is saying about him. “There’s no time to pick up a newspaper or a magazine and look at that stuff,” Claybom said. “I’m just focusing on each week end and the guy that’s trying to kick my butt.” To e-mail reporter: ajcs23B@psu.edu
