JoePa names McGloin starter
By Brendan Monahan
COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER
Taking over the quarterback
spot during the second quarter
against Minnesota is one thing.
Starting for the first time in a
prime-time home game against
rival Michigan is an entirely differ
ent story.
Redshirt sophomore Matt
McGloin will do just that at 8 p.m.
Saturday, as freshman quarter
back Rob Bolden recovers from a
concussion. Penn State coach Joe
Paterno announced the decision
on his radio show Thursday night.
"We're going to go with Mac
[McGloin] to start with," Paterno
said.

It's been three years since
Halloween fell on a home football
weekend in State College, and
for downtown bars, the two
events coinciding will mean one
thing lots of business.
The weekend presents bars
with an opportunity to promote
festive events. such as best cos
tume contests at Indigo and the
Shandygaff, while also enjoying
the increased business from a
home game against Michigan.
But for police, the combination
could mean increased crime and
increased enforcement.
Penn State Police Sgt. Don
Hazel said that historically,
police have encountered similar
problems on Halloween week
ends and on football weekends
when the two don't fall on the
same day.
"Halloween is busy. but not as
busy las football weekendsl." he
said. "The problems for both
usually revolve around alcohol."
The two events overlapping
will lead to a weekend with all
Penn State Police personnel on
duty, as well as backup from
State Police and officers from
nearby municipalities.
Indigo, 112 W. College Ave., has
Halloween events planned for
tonight as well as Sunday. The
cast of "Paranormal State," an
A&E ghost-hunting TV show will
make an appearance at the
nightclub at 9 p.m.
On Sunday, the staff will give
out $3OO worth of prizes to
patrons wearing the best
Halloween costumes.
Indigo owner AJ Madden said
Saturday is the only night this
weekend without a Halloween
theme because the holiday takes

On the show, quarterbacks
coach Jay Paterno said Bolden
has been cleared to play after
undergoing several concussion
tests this week
"I've always been a one-quar
terback man," Joe Paterno said. "I
hope we don't have to use more
than one, but if we have to, we
will."
McGloin is a former walk-on
that didn't receive any Division I-A
offers.
Penn State football historian
Lou Prato believes McGloin is the
first former walk-on to start a
game in the Paterno era.

pile on calories

Deja McClendon eats three
packs of M&M's a day.
In the morning when
McClendon the 6-foot-1 start
ing outside hitter on the Penn
State women's volleyball team
spreads a layer of butter on her
bagel, she follows it with a layer
of cream cheese.
When eating mashed potatoes
at the dining commons, the fresh
man is instructed to mix in an
extra two tablespoons of olive oil.
And it's all under the doctor's
orders.
McClendon's diet may seem
bizarre as it is surely envied by
any college student but it is
regimented. And it points to the
incredible importance of proper
nutrition for Division I athletes.

The task, though, is not that

"The ultimate outcome is for

David Carr, vice chairman of
Penn State's chapter of Young

Stewart and Colbert are leaning
on the younger population to get
them mobilized for the vote.
"In terms of getting people to
the polls, [the rally] might make a
small difference," Carr (junior

"People will go hang out and
