Lions run over Wolverines

The best remedy for Penn State's defense
was a strong showing by the offense.
In a back-and-forth game where the Nittany
Lions tried to stop Michigan Reisman hopeful
Denard Robinson. In Lions offense found a
way to set the pace.
Led by former walk-on quarterback Matt
McGloin, the Lions controlled the clock and
were able to score early and often en route to
a 41-31 win against Michigan. The Lions t 5-3,
2-2 Big Ten) didn't hesitate to allow McGloin to
air it out as the redshirt sophomore orches
trated a breakout offensive performance that
showed the 108.339 fans inside Beaver
Stadium the Penn State offense is better than
it previously played.

protests
contract

COLLEGIAN STAFF At.' I I
For the second consecutive
work day, unionized workers will
protest the construction of the
$215 million Millennium Science
Complex because they say a
subcontractor hired non-union
ized and out-of-state workers for
lower wages.
Penn State President Graham
Spanier wrote in an e-mail that
the university is not currently
negotiating with the unionized
workers.
"This is a dispute between
contractors." Spanier vaote 'As
far as I know Penn State is not
directly involved."
But workers plan to continue
picketing throughout the week
until an agreement is reached.
said Tom Tyger, International
Union of Painters and Allied
Trades business manager for
District Counil 57, of Monroeville,
Pa. Despite unionized workers
protesting, the non-unionized
workers on the site will continue
construction, Tyger said.

there." Joe Paterno said. "We were pretty
solid and I think that's a sign that they've
grown up."
For an offense that struggled to capitalize
on red zone scoring opportunities during the
first half of the season, the Lions showed
improved play as they converted touchdowns
on five of their seven red zone chances. With
McGloin distributing passes to eight different
receivers, it kept a porous Michigan 15-3, 1-3)
defense on its heels.
With the passing game helping the Lions
move down the field, unlike several games
this season, running back Evan Royster had
plenty of room to operate. The senior made
the most of his season-high 29 carries as he
ran for 150 yards and also landed himself a
spot in the record books as he passed Curt

Downtown State College was
filled with creative costumes,

Sunday night.
More than 2,000 residents and
visitors participated in the 65th
annual Halloween Parade and
costume contest co-sponsored by
the Centre Region Parks and
Recreation and the State College
Lions Club.

Should 254 E. Beaver Ave. be

precedent encouraging develop

Shot glass
licensing ends

-. Penn State will no longer allow
its name or logos to be displayed
on shot glasses in an attempt to
address high-risk drinking a
move downtown officials support
and some students are skeptical
about.
"We felt that this was an
appropriate step because of the
message licensing such a prod
uct could send," Penn State
spokesman Geoff Rushton said.
University logos include: the
university seal, the Nittany Lion
shrine, the mascot, the universi
ty identity mark, the
Intercollegiate Athletics logo
and Pride of the Lions designs,
according to the Penn State
licensing program's website.
While this one move will not
halt the problem of dangerous
drinking, it is an important step.
Penn State spokesman Bill
Mahon said.
But he said others need to do
their part to make this move suc
cessful.
"It would be great if downtown
businesses also acted more
responsibly," Mahon said. "In a
town where hundreds of young
people are rushed to the ER
every year with serious alcohol
overdoses, -there should be no
local businesses selling beer fun
nels and Party 'Til You Puke
game boards."
The university will direct its
licensing agent the Collegiate
Licensing Committee to deny
the licensing of the university
name and logos, Rushton said.
The Penn State logo policy
states that no references to alco
hol, drugs or tobacco-related
products may be used in con
junction with university symbols.
Shot glasses with Penn State
logos will be phased out and as
production stops, the glasses will
disappear from stores. Rushton
said.
But some students say the
elimination of Penn State shot
glasses won't change students'
drinking behavior.
