None of the five men injured in the two incidents is in critical condi tion at this time, police said. On Monday, King said police hope to encourage District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller to pursue riot charges against anyone involved in the fight at 797 Lounge. Though she wasn't at the meeting, Mayor Elizabeth Goreham said the incidents warrant a strong response against those responsible.

With Sukay, who defensive coordi nator Tom Bradley called "the leader of our secondary," out for the year, the Lions will need to find somebody to step up. The second ary was one of the team's strong points so far this season, as the Lions rank second in the Big Ten in pass defense. While Drew Astorino moved over from the hero position and played some safety during the Minois game, it's unknown who will be the permanent replacement. Safety Andrew Dailey, who was seeing more playing time with nick el back Derrick Thomas suspended for undisclosed reasons, is listed as "possible" on an injury report issued by Penn State for the Minnesota game. Dailey suffered a stinger during the Illinois game. As for the rest of the injuries, the list continues to grow. "The less we talk about it the bet ter I like it," Paterno said.

Sharon Waxmonsky (junior bio engineering), who attended for her Theatre 102 class, said the setup of the Pavilion Theatre made the per formance interesting because "you can't help but have your back to the audience" but that wasn't a bad thing.

Goreham also called the incidents a "shock" to what is otherwise a safe community "We have some issues around football game weekends, but noth ing like this," Goreham said. "This is a very safe town, so this is really of great concern to us all." And those who were a part of Tuesday's conversation identified a number of areas that might keep students out of harm's way in the future, Sims said like providing more on-campus venues for student events. Fountain said the discussion was productive, especially because it brought together multiple per spectives from both town and gown. "Our concern is about safety and community," Fountain said. "We need to make sure the campus and community are safe." We've gotta overcome them. We can't be sitting around moaning about it." Defensive end Eric Latimore, who sustained a dislocated wrist during the first play from scrim mage against Illinois, wrote in an e mail he had surgery to put pins in his wrist. He is out a minimum of two weeks. Latimore was filling in for Jack Crawford, who was forced to sit out the Illinois game with a foot injury, and is listed as possible for the Minnesota game. The junior was supposed to be one of the Lions' top playmakers heading into the season, and despite a slow start where he's recorded just one sack, Crawford's likely return will bolster an injury -riddled defensive line. Defensive tackle Jordan Hill joins Crawford in the possible category after suffering an ankle injury against the Mini. Latimore joins wide receiver Curtis Drake and tight end Andrew Szczerba on the list of players who are out for a minimum of two weeks. Drake, who Paterno said is one of the team's best athletes, is trying to come back from a broken leg he sus- fessor and TAs are in it, said she enjoyed the performance. "It was a lot funnier than I thought it would be," Zirkle (fresh man-elementary education) said. Breanna Pletnick, who also attended for her Theatre 100 class, said that it was interesting to see her professor and TAs take on a dif ferent persona than they have in the classroom. She also enjoyed the way the sets were changed. In between scenes the eight actors playing the schoolboys would dance on stage, removing the current set and bringing in the new one. on Sept. 9, declaring the policy unconstitutional and asked both sides to give her input about an injunction. The judge said the policy violates due process rights, freedom of speech and the right to petition the government for redress of griev ances guaranteed by the First Amendment. Gay rights groups hailed Phillips' latest move, crediting her with what the administration and Washington have not been able to do. "For a single federal judge to tell the government to stop enforcing this policy worldwide, this after noon, with no time to think about it or plan for it, is almost unprecedent ed," said Richard Socarides, a for mer Clinton White House adviser on gay rights.

"My professor was talking about squirrels and how they affect the power lines," she said. "Just as he said that, the power lines went out." Andrew Weryha (freshman-engi neering sciences), also in class dur ing the storm, said the open win dows in his classroom slammed one by one. "I looked out the window and it was the nicest day outside," he said. "Me minutes later, it was pitch black" In total, 800 Allegheny Power cus tomers experienced power distur bances last night, but most were small, scattered outages that hap pened around 6 p.m. and were restored within the hour, Colafella said.

Penn State student body presi dent Christian Ragland said he was not at Tuesday's meeting, but borough safety is something he hopes to address with community leaders. "I would like to sit down with police, from a student perspective, and see what can be done," Ragland (senior-political science) said. Once the fact-finding stage of the investigation is over, Ragland said, it will be important to continue con versations on this issue at future borough council meetings.

As for Szczerba, who started jog ging in practice last week after not participating in any drills before then, a return would greatly improve the tight end position. True freshman Kevin Haplea is starting in place of Szczerba and Garry Gilliam, who sustained a torn ante rior cruciate ligament (ACL) against lowa. Along with the potential return of Szczerba comes good news for the linebacking corps. Gerald Hodges, who was hurt during the opening kickoff of the Alabama game, appears close to returning from injury and joins line backers Mike Mauti and Bani Gbadyu in the possible category. Mauti and Gbadyu didn't play against Illinois but had started before suffering injuries. "We've been set back by some things we can't control as we talked about with the injuries," Patenio said. "We've just got to go out and say, 'Hey, this is what we've got to do to get better and let's re-commit ourselves to getting better and see where we go.' " To e-mail reporter: aass22o@psu.edu "I don't understand how it con nects in with the play, but it's really funny," Pletnick (freshman-kinesol ogz,r) said. Waxmonsky agreed. "It's an interesting way to make scene changes with characters," she said. "I've never seen a play that didn't have a curtain before." The remaining performances of the play will be held Oct. 14, 18, 20, 22, 23, 25 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 16 at 2 p.m. in the Pavilion Theatre. Tickets are $l2 for students and $lB for gen eral admission. To e-mail reporter: hmrso27opsu.edu There was nothing in her mind that could justify this even for one more day, one more hour." Gay rights advocates, however, tempered their celebrations, warn ing service members to avoid revealing their sexuality for fear that the injunction could be tossed out during an appeal and they would be left open to being dis charged. If the government does not appeal, the injunction cannot be reversed and would remain in effect. If it does, it can seek a temporary freeze, or stay, of her ruling. An appeal would go to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. Associated Press writer Anne Flaherty in Washington contributed to this report. munity embraced miIDRED's per formance. Penn State staff member Ignacio Sanchez said he came to the event to show his support for the LGBTQA community. "I'm glad [UPACI brought a speaker that explores the female gender this way," Sanchez said. Penn State student Nehemiah Mitchell said he saw miIDRED speak in one of his classes earlier Tuesday. He said after that, his interest was piqued. "She's a phenomenon," Mitchell (junior-labor studies and employ ment relations) said.

The incident was caused by a tree that fell on the main circuit at 11:12 p.m., and the incident was not resolved until 2:02 am. The storm followed a week of warm weather. The temperature from Oct. 2 to Oct 6 was four to nine degrees below normal, Parger said. On Monday, Oct 12, the tempera ture was 12 degrees above the aver age high for this time of year.
