In Senate races, tea party

“We're fortunate that all of a sudden
we got a couple of kids I think that
can get the job done for us.”
Paterno, who normally prefers
playing only one quarterback in a
game, said he'd be open to the idea
of playing both this Saturday.
Bolden suffered a concussion two
weeks ago at Minnesota, and the
coaching staff held him out of last
Saturday’s win against Michigan for
precautionary reasons
The medical staff had cleared
Bolden to play, however.
Paterno said he believes Bolden is
fully over the injury after talking to
him on Monday.
McGloin filled in for Bolden and
finished 17-for-28 with 250 yards and
a touchdown in the Michigan win.
Bolden previously started every
game for Penn State this season
before he suffered the injury.
Paterno said he wasn’t concerned
about Bolden dealing with losing the
starting job if it happened.
He also said Bolden had pro
gressed well before the injury and
has a lot of future potential.

expressed negative views about
both political parties. Roughly 40
percent of voters considered them
selves supporters of the conserva
tive tea party movement.
Less than half said they wanted
the government to do more to solve
problems.
The preliminary findings were
based on Election Day and pre-elec
tion interviews with more than 9,000
voters.
All 435 seats in the House were on
the ballot, plus 37 in the Senate. An
additional 37 governors’ races gave
Republicans ample opportunity for
further gains halfway through
Obama’s term, although Andrew
Cuomo was elected in New York for
the office his father once held.
Republicans were certain of at
least six Senate pickups, including
the seat in Illinois that Obama
resigned to become president. Rep.
Mark Kirk won there, defeating
Alexi Giannoulias.
Democratic Sens. Russell
Feingold in Wisconsin and Blanche
Lincoln in Arkansas were turned
out of office. In addition,
Republicans scored big in races for
Democratic seats without incum
bents on the ballot. Former Rep. Pat
Toomey won a close race in

because I’m not sure anybody has

Approaching 400 wins
No matter how many times
reporters asked Paterno about 400
wins, he had no problem deflecting
the questions.
"I don’t go home and think about
what we've done," Paterno said. “I
go home and worry about what
we've got to get done."
Paterno said he doesn't think
about the milestone and hasn’t
talked to anybody about it. He said
his focus is providing wins for his
players, who are only in college for
four years.
He said he doesn’t pay attention
to getting 400 wins because he’s
been a coach for such a long time,
the milestone is bound to come.
Paterno is in his 45th year as head
coach at Penn State.
“You've got to win a couple of
games in that time,” Paterno said. “I
really don’t give it much thought. It
won’t make much difference if I win
390 or 400.”
Sympathy for Notre Dame
Paterno addressed the tragedy
Murphy’s former Penn State
roommate Tommy McCann was in
attendance at the announcement.
McCann said the plaza will be an
immortal shrine to a friend who was
an “incredible individual.’’
McCann said he is still in close
contact with friends of Murphy and
said they all are excited about the
plaza.

According to the FDA website,
there are no regulations that

any level, to alcoholic beverages.

But there are certain things Penn

Roney said the fact that the gift
came from the senior class is the
most humbling part.
Senior Class Committee Overall
Chairman Bill Witt (senior-biology)
said he’s confident the senior class
will raise more than $225,000 for the
plaza.
That would surpass the record set
last year, he said.
He said individuals in the commu
nity are also welcome to donate.
“It would be very exciting to
have the senior class surpass
the record by donating all or
part of their security deposit,” Witt
said.
The drinks are typically sold indi
vidually for $2.50 or $26 for a 12-pack.

because of the drink’s affordability,
Witalec said.
But even if money is tight among
college students, recognizing the
risk of the drinks is important, she
said.

be responsible consumers of an
