INDECENT EXPOSURE
Police

Link to past
cases unknown

COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER
Charges were filed Nov. 24
against a Penn State student in
connection with the most recent
case of indecent exposure, Penn
State Police said but police
are still investigating whether
the student is linked to the 13
other cases reported since last
August.
At about 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 18,
Zachary R. Kleinman, of
Morganville, N.J., was seen mas
turbating inside a television
lounge in Geary Hall by another
student serving as an auxiliary
police officer, police said.
Unlike the man described in
other incidents, Kleinman was
not wearing a mask when he
exposed himself, police said.
Kleinman is charged with one
count each of indecent exposure,
open lewdness and disorderly
conduct in connection with the
incident, police said.
Other on-campus indecent
exposure incidents have been
reported in Brumbaugh Hall,
Hiester Hall, Holmes Hall,
Schulze Hall and Tener Hall
since August 2009.
In those incidents, police said
the man involved was generally
described as a college-aged,
light-skinned male with dark
hair
At this point, this is the only
indecent exposure to which
Kleinman has been linked.
Police said they are unable to
confirm whether Kleinman was
involved in any of the other inde
cent exposure incidents on or off
campus.
Penn State Police Deputy
Director Tyrone Parham said
police have yet to name anyone
involved in the other indecent
exposures.
Police cannot rule out. with
complete certainty, the possibili
ty of a connection to the most
recent incident, Parham said.
"We haven't identified anyone
specific with those other cases
yet," Parham said. "So who can
say 100 percent that this guy is
not that person? It's not fair to
say that this guy is definitely not
him."
The incident involving
Kleinman came just two weeks
after two other on-campus inde
cent exposure incidents were
reported.
The first of those cases
occurred at about 3:05 a.m. on
Nov. 1 at the Food Science
Building, police said.
The second occured at about
11:23 p.m. on Nov. 4 in
side Patterson Building, police
said.
Off campus, a masked man
has also been involved in several
indecent exposure cases since
June 2010, the State College
Police Department said.
Three cases involving a
masked man exposing himself
have been reported in Nittany
Garden Apartments, 445
Waupelani Dr., and one in
Imperial Towers Apartments,
425 Waupelani Dr., police said.
Because several of the

lions 'too little, too late'

There are plenty of areas to
place blame for Penn State's 28-
22 loss to Michigan State on
Saturday.
It could have been the eight
penalties for 67 yards. It could
have been the secondary break
downs, freeing Michigan State
wide receiver B.J. Cunningham
for two touchdowns. It could have
been the offense's inability to
move the ball until the Spartans
had already taken an 18-point
lead late in the second half.

Students no longer have to
study abroad to get authentic
Chinese tea.
The Traditional Chinese Tea
Ceremony (GongFb Cha) Club
held the grand opening of its Tea
House earlier this month. The Tea
House, located in 34 Ritenour

p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays, club founder Jason
Cohen said.

Cohen (sophomore-political sci

the tea served at the Tea House.
- This is higher quality tea than
is probably available almost any
where in the United States," he
said. "There are only a few people
importing the same quality tea as
we are, and none of them are in
Pennsylvania."

Police look
into incidents

For some spectators in
Beaver Stadium at the Oct. 30
Penn State football game, sports
rivalry escalated to the point of
verbal and physical aggression
and one month later. Penn
State Police said they're investi
gating whether two separate
incidents in the stands warrant
legal action.
One incident involved a
University of Michigan fan who
was the target of physical and
verbal assault while seated in
the student section at the game
versus the Michigan Wolverines,
police said.
In this incident. a Michigan
fan --- dressed in a banana cos
tume at the game -- was verbal
ly and physically assaulted by
those seated around him in sec
tions SA and SB, police said.
No one involved in the alterca
tion was severely injured, but
several people were seen by
Penn State Emergency Medical
Services and were released,
police said.
The fight involved multiple
people. but police said the per

sible is described as an Asian
man with short black hair. wear
ing a white shirt at the time of
the incident.
A student who was also
assaulted during the incident
and tried to help the Michigan
fan reported the incident to an
officer during the game. police
said. But this happened later in
the game, police said, not imme
diately following the incident.
Across the stadium, another
incident during the game has
also elicited an investigation by
police after a pair of Michigan
fans were physically and verbal
ly harassed by other spectators
to the point that they opted to
leave the game early. they said.

"There's a concentration on fla

what water you use," Cohen said.
"It's an art form."
Cohen said he started the tea
club after studying tea in China.
