Armstrong, Class of 1960, said
maintaining a presence on the
Penn State campus remains vital
to his campaign.
"This is absolutely essential to
get the students involved,”
Armstrong said.
The Allentown native started
rallying for a Beaver Stadium
name change in the summer of
2009.
He began by writing letters to
Penn State officials and editors of
local newspapers.

Big Ten) on Saturday at TCF Bank
Stadium, snapping the team’s
two-game losing streak.
"He was having trouble remem

him out." Joe Paterno said of
Bolden, who underwent concus

Henderson Building between the
HUB-Robeson Center lawn and
Old Main lawn.
Penn State spokesman Geoff
Rushton said the addition of the

attempting to consolidate the
