2 I THURSDAY, Nov. 18, 2010 DE Stanley waives right to preliminary hearing Penn State defensive end Sean Stanley waived his right to a preliminary hearing in court Wednesday in connection with the first of two charges issued to him by police this semester, according to court documents. In October, Penn State Police charged Stanley, 19, with one count of misdemeanor possession of marijuana after the drug and several pieces of drug paraphernalia were seized from his Nittany Apartments residence on Sept. 28. At 12:42 a.m. on Nov. 12, the State College Police Department also cited Stanley with public urination on the 400 block of East Prospect Avenue, police said. Police said alcohol was also involved in the incident but could not con firm whether Stanley's blood alcohol content levels were tested. Vehicle collides with landscaping near BioLife At about 5:20 p.m. Wednesday, a vehicle at the corner of Atherton Street and West Beaver Avenue drove off of the road and collided with the landscaping in front of BioLife Plasma Services, 321 W. Beaver Ave., the State College Police Department said No one was injured in the incident and the building did not suffer any structural damage outside of its landscaping, police said. As of press time, police were still compiling the accident report but said it appeared that the driver was try ing to avoid another oncoming vehicle at the time of the acci dent. Individuals waive rights to preliminary hearing Five of the individuals charged in connection with an Oct. 10 fight at 797 Lounge, 224 W Beaver Ave., waived their right to a preliminary hearing in court Wednesday, according to court documents. The five non-Penn State students Taja Palmer, 22, of New York; Ryan Patterson, 24, of Harrisburg; Naim Muhammad, 22, of Philadelphia; Sierra Coppage, 22, of Owings Mills, Md.; and Markeshia Moore, 23, of Clinton, Md. were each cited for misdemeanor disorderly conduct in connection with the incident, the State College Police Department said. Police said the individuals charged contin ued to fight with others after police ordered the 30 to 40 peo ple involved in the fight to stop. The fight sent two Penn State students to Mount Nittany Medical Center with stab wounds, and police said they are still trying to identify who is responsible for the stabbings. Woman cited for public drunkenness A 21-year-old woman will be cited for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct in connection with an incident at about 1 a.m. Wednesday at Mount Nittany Medical Center, the State College Police Department said. Police said the woman, intoxicated at the time, had an "outburst" near the emergency area of the hospital. Police could not provide additional details regarding the identity of the woman or the nature of the incident.

Penn State student Phillip Carrington said he also takes issue with the FDA's declaration that drinks like Four Loko warrant increased regulation. "[The FDA and states who banned the drinks] are basically singling out certain types of drinks," Carrington (junior accounting) said. "Drinks like a Red Bull and vodka have been around for years now, and no one has complained about them."

"So we moved it to the Eisenhower because we didn't want to do that again." Karisa Maxwell, public relations captain and THON 2011 Pageant runner-up, said she thrived off of the energy from the larger crowd. "It was absolutely incredible to be out there and hear people screaming your name," Maxwell (sophomore-journalism) said. "Brett Kesselman [Mr. Public Relations] and I worked so hard on our routine and it just made it all worth it. Especially at a big school, it's great to feel the support from those around you." Maxwell and Kesselman were voted by their fellow public rela tions captains to represent their committee in the pageant. And for Maxwell, it meant a lot Theatre From Page 1 many unique theater-related details, including the couple danc ing on stage and movie posters with the couples' pictures on them wallpapering the theater. Beside these special functions, alcoholic beverages are also avail able at concerts, movies and other events, Shedd said. Chris Good (freshman-electrical engineering) has been bartending at the State Theatre since August and said drinks sell very well at concerts. He said a bar with hard liquor is available for concerts, but only wine and beer is available at movies When the State Theatre first made its liquor license plans public in 2008, the proposal faced heavy opposition from the State College Borough Council. Basketball pNucollegia n.com From Page 1 tried to do too much, - DeChellis said. "I think it was holding a huge ball that weighed a lot out in front of you and the guys were supposed to take turns running up and hold ing the ball. That ball was our sea son." As each player ran up with the ball, DeChellis remembered Battle running up to take over until Kapitulik chimed in with some advice for the senior guard. "Finally, the guy says, 'You know, you are going to get your troop killed doing this. You have to let these other guys carry the ball,' DeChellis said. "After that conver sation, I think a light went off for him." Elizabeth Murphy The next day, Kapitulik sent the Lions to the pool even further outside of their comfort zone and really learned a lot about the team. Alex Weisler Beth Ann Downey Andrew Metcalf Lexi Belculfine Chris Zook Somer Wiggins Kevin Chilli Ashley Gold Though he said he has no idea how well they can shoot jump shots or rebound the ball, Kapitulik said his experience in the pool with the Laura Nichols Derby Steve Hennessey Paul Casella Nate Mink From Page 1 self being on a roller derby team, but she doesn't regret joining in the least. Steph Witt "It's a whole lot of fun you get exercise, adrenaline and excite ment," Galio said. Each team has six skaters on the floor at a time, Zeger said. At the State College Area Rollers, skaters range in age from 20 to 40 years old. The jammers try to skate their LOCAL gal Tonight Tomorrow: Extended forecast campusvreatherenike.com , Low 34 High 48 - Courtesy of Campus Weather Service er of Brewsky's Bottle Shop, 222 W Beaver Ave., said the drink was outselling comparable beverages by a margin of more than five-to one. In Pennsylvania, Fbur Loko is available in 23.5-ounce cans and contains 12 percent alcohol by vol ume, and the drink typically costs about $2.50 per can or $26 for a 12- pack. As for the most recent announcements surrounding Four Loko and similar drinks, Verbeck declined comment on the effects such moves may have on the bev erages' popularity. But some Penn State students said a decline in Four Loko's popu larity isn't going to come anytime soon. In fact, Alyssa Reyes said she and others might be more inclined many black players for the Nittany he has been called racial slurs on Lions yet condemn and harass an campus before, so what happened for her to participate, as well as get second place in the competition. "I'm only a sophomore," she said. "So going in not knowing a lot of people but still getting nominat ed to do this was pretty cool." For the 14 pairs of people repre senting each committee, the sassi ness of their routines was in end less supply. From renditions of Beyonce's "Single Ladies," to raps about THON there was never a dull moment. After the talent portion of the competition, Kari, Tom and Emily Whitehead a THON family took the stage. Kari Whitehead said when her daughter Emily was diagnosed at 5-years-old with leukemia, it took her family by complete surprise. "One day she's a healthy little girl," Kari Whitehead said. "The next, we're finding out she might die." Once the Whitehead family found out about their daughter's In October 2008, the council voted 4-3 to urge the State Theatre not to apply for the license. Council member Jim Rosenberger supported keeping the State Theatre dry. He said he was in opposition of the venue sell ing alcohol largely for symbolic reasons. "My initial attempt to keep it dry was to make a statement that alco hol isn't necessary for any event to be enjoyable and I still believe that strongly," he said. But Rosenberger said he recog nizes that the State Theatre is not the place where people go to get drunk "Given the kind of venue the State Theatre is, it's not where people go to drink Having alcohol is just part of their environment," Rosenberger said. "The drinking problem in this town does not point to the State Theatre." Despite controversy surround ing the liquor license, Shedd said Lions spoke volumes about what kind of team they are. "Very few players on that team would consider themselves good swimmers," Kapitulik said. "That team didn't just try and get through the pool session. Instead, they really attacked that day and it was really telling about what kind of team they are going to be." Through a number of other exer cises such as one where Battle led his teammates in stretching, Kapitulik watched as he saw the Lions embrace each challenge and attack them head on. The former Marine was quick to say his program won't turn bad teams good, good teams great or great teams into national champi ons, but what it does do is focus on the little things that bring a team together. For this year's Lions squad that frequently didn't play as one last season, their experience with the Marines is one they are hoping will pay off on the court. "When you go through adversity, sometimes teams can break or families can fight against each other," sophomore guard Tim way through the group of blockers and pivots, who are attempting to knock down the opposing team's jammers, she said. Jammers can score points on their second lap around the rink for outpacing the other team's jam mer, she said. Gallo compares the sport to the intensity of hockey or football except with the added challenge of skates. "I walked in not knowing a single person and I have come out of it with an entire team of friends," Galio said. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN to drink Four Loko after its re-for mulation. "Alcohol has so many effects on your body, so why would you want to throw caffeine into the mix?" Reyes (senior-athletic training) said. "So the move might actually make some people more inclined to try it because they might not have liked to drink it with the caf feine." Carrington said the drink proba bly won't suffer any loss in popular ity as long as it still offers a good buzz for a small price. "It's still a relatively cheap drink for college students," Carrington said. "And everyone's poor, so we want to drink as much as we can for as little as possible." To e-mail reporter: cmms773@psu.edu illness they were told to find a hos pital that would help them with treatment. Hershey Medical Center wasn't even on the list, Kari Whitehead said. But, when they heard from a member of their extended family that Hershey was known for treat ing pediatric cancer patients, the Whiteheads decided to check it out. "That's where we found out about THON," Kari Whitehead said. "We were told by a nurse and immediately, a weight was lifted." Kari Whitehead said over the months, they've learned more and more about THON and it's getting her family more and more excited to experience it for themselves in the Bryce Jordan Center in a few short months. "The dedication you guys have and the absolute love that's in everything you do is amazing," she said. "Everything you do, really is, for the kids." To e-mail reporter: vhgsoo3@psu.edu students appreciate being able to enjoy a wine or beer with the show. And she said the State Theatre is in no way a destination for drink ing. Many students and local resi dents who frequent the State Theatre said if the theatre did not sell alcohol it would not affect their decision to attend events at the venue. Ryan Hill, a State College resi dent, went to the State Theatre to see The Clarks perform in late October and purchased a Troegs Hopback Amber Ale before the show. He said he has bought at least one beer at every show he attend ed at the theater this year, but he doesn't come to drink. "I come because of the musi cians and acts here," Hill said. "The beer is like icing on the pound cake." To e-mail reporter: ImlsolB@psu.edu Frazier said. "We stuck through it. We had leaders who stepped up and were able to come together and fight through it to achieve that goal." Fast-forward back to the season opener last Friday against Lehigh and the Lions did exactly that. Battle took what he learned through "The Program" and didn't try to lead his team back from behind all by himself. He scored when he needed to, but he also realized he had his teammates behind him that let them take the pressure off of him. As a team, the Lions overcame a poor start and eventually played as one something they learned how to do through Kapitulik's help. "The guy who ran it told me, `Being a leader is not always doing everything for everyone,' " Battle said. "Sometimes letting people do work, you just need to be there to help them when they need it. I think that's the biggest thing I got out of it. I think we got a lot out of it and I think it was really beneficial for the team."
