The move came unexpectedly to some students. But they said they were fine with the move. “The move doesn’t really matter to me,” Severin Laskowski said. Laskowski (freshman-division of undergraduate studies) said he Protest From Page 1, formed between the students, facul ty and administration to create goals for reducing carbon emis sions, Nagy said. “The march was a big success, but we don’t want our progress to be forgotten in the public’s eye so we came up with the idea for this protest,” he said. “A lot of issues still need to be resolved and we don’t want our voices to fade out.” Eco-Action member Rose Monahan (junior-political science) dropped her pants to participate in the protest even in the cold weather. Bowl From Page 1. the season with three consecutive losses) and overall fan appeal of the matchup as two other deciding fac tors. “At the end of the day, in a game like ours, you’re not determining a national champion,” Schulze said. “We want to make it fun for the fans who are gonna come down and the fans who are gonna watch. There are a lot of factors that go into that.” A Joe Patemo-Steve Spurrier coaching matchup could give the game that type of appeal, especially given other successful SEC teams will likely already be taken. Two BCS bowls and the Capital One Bowl will choose Auburn, Arkansas and LSU, the three SEC teams with 10 wins, leaving the Cotton Bowl likely to take Alabama. The Outback Bowl has the next choice, and South Carolina is the team with the next best record. Jerry Palm, who projects bowl games for a living at collegebcs.com, said as long as the Gamecocks lose, “it’s Penn State- South Carolina in the Outback Bowl. Period.” But Schulze wouldn’t comment on South Carolina, opting to wait until after this weekend’s SEC title game a chance for the Gamecocks to shake the college football landscape Santa From Page 1. said before she began. “This is how we start the holiday season.” Dan and Galla, a husband-and wife musical duo, served as the emcees of the event and introduced both the Broadway Showkids’ and the State College Friends School Peace Choir’s performances.

Sachs said there has been an improvement over time in the num ber of women faculty, but women tend to be concentrated in the assis tant and associate professor posi tions. There tends to be a higher number of women who are lecturers or non tenure track faculty. “In some fields, it’s more difficult for women to be taken seriously as scholars and teachers,” Sachs said. “Academia for a long time has been very male-dominated. For it to be turned around in women’s favor has been a long struggle.” According to Penn State’s University Budget Office’s report of full-time employees by gender for fall 2010, 36.2 percent of University Park full-time employees are female, while 63.8 percent are male. At Penn State’s Commonwealth Campuses, 43.8 percent of full-time employees are female and 56.2 per cent are male. Across all of Penn State’s campuses and colleges, 37.3 percent of full-time employees are female, and 62.7 percent are male, according to the report. Sachs said reasons for gender inequality in faculty and tenure may also be that graduate students sometimes face obstacles in getting mentoring, and sometimes male professors may provide more men toring and job opportunities to male students. .Elizabeth Murphy Alex Weisler .Beth Ann Downey .Andrew Metcalf ■Lexi Belculfine .Chris Zook .Somer Wiggins .Kevin Cirilli .Ashley Gold .Laura Nichols .Laurie Stern .Steve Hennessey .Paul Casella .Nate Mink •Heather Schmelzlen .Steph Witt LOCAL Penn State’s Commission for JH fnlgM: .

Not a lot of people are aware of the urgency of this issue,” she said. “I want renewable energy at Penn State.” Kristina Wyrsta saw the protest and said she was instantly intrigued. “I saw them from behind, and I really wanted to find out what they were doing. This is much more effective than just handing out flyers to raise awareness,” Wyrsta (senior biobehavioral health) said. Byron Kay witnessed a similar protest in Canada and said he thought the idea could be effective at Penn State. on so many different levels. If South Carolina wins... The Gamecocks would go to the Sugar Bowl. Other teams Schulze mentioned for the Outback Bowl were LSU, Alabama and Mississippi State, and Penn State’s familiarity with two of those names could have a significant impact on the final bowl matchup. In the past, bowl games have tended to shy away from rematches of recent games. The Lions lost to Alabama in September and beat LSU in last season’s Capital One Bowl. But Schulze offered an opposing voice to what bowl games have cho sen in the past. “Typically [a rematch] is not that big of a deal,” Schulze said. “Sometimes rematches are a lot of fun actually.” He pointed to the SEC title game between Auburn and South Carolina as having more appeal because the two met in late September. If there is enough time between the games, he said, they tend to be better the second time around. But the biggest reason bowl games have shied away from rematches is an original matchup tends to sell more tickets because fans haven’t already seen that game. It makes the appetizing thought of from “Dear Edwina.” The State College Friends School Peace Choir, composed of student volunteers who participate in the choir as a means of community service, sang classic Christmas songs including “The First Noel” and “Jingle Bells.” After the per formances, Dan and Galla led the entire crowd in singing carols from “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” to “Here Comes Santa Claus” to usher in Kris Kringle himself. A “minor delay” in Scranton, Pa. may have postponed his visit, but Santa Claus eventually arrived to select a child to light the holiday Women compiled the 2007-2008 Report on the Status of Women at Penn State with support from the Office of the Vice Provost for Educational Equity and the University Budget Office. The report, which is the most recent report available, said 17 percent of full professors at University Park were female in 2007, an increase from 9 percent in 1997. In 2007, 34 percent of associate professors at University Park were female, com pared to 23 percent in 1997. Compared to 39 percent in 1997, 47 percent of assistant professors in 2007 were female. The commission also conducted a study of faculty and staff parents during 2008 and 2009 and submitted a series of recommendations devel oped from the results to Penn State President Graham Spanier and other university officials. The rec ommendations focused on making it easier for faculty and staff members to achieve a work-family balance, allowing them to excel both at work and at home, said Karin Foley, asso ciate dean for administration and research in the Eberly College of Science. Spanier responded promptly with a response to each of the recom mendations, many of which have been implemented, Foley said. “We could not have asked for a prompter, more thorough or more supportive response,” Foley said. The key recommendations included effective communication of existing leave policies, improved support of breastfeeding and pump ing, providing flexible work condi tions, fostering a family-friendly cli mate and continuously assessing The Daily Collegian Leela McKinnon sophomore-anthropology To e-mail reporter: mrss429@psu.edu “Not only would switching to renewable energy make a huge impact on the whole State College community —Penn State could lead the way for other universities,” Eay (senior-political science and the atre) said. “Ball State just transi tioned to renewable energy. If they can do it, Penn State can definitely do it.” Some onlookers saw the protest ers without pants on and shouted words such as “You’re crazy.” But Eco-Action member Michael Burns (senior-philosophy, English and law) fired back. “This is crazy, but not as crazy as continuing to bum fossil fuels,” he said. a Penn State-Alabama bowl game very unlikely because the two met in Tuscaloosa in September, and they will play in Happy Valley in Week 2 of the 2011 season. That means fans wouldn’t have to leave their home town in order to see a Crimson Tide- Lions matchup, making bowl travel questionable. If the Outback Bowl selects LSU or Alabama and then opts to avoid the rematch, the Big Ten’s next bowl option is the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, where Mississippi State and Florida are potential opponents. The Lions haven’t played in the Gator Bowl since 1976 when they lost to Notre Dame, and there’s very little chance representatives would pass up a Penn State-Florida matchup. The two schools are among the most historic in college football, making them ideal choices for lower-tier bowls despite their identi cal 7-5 records and similar disap pointing seasons. "You never know what’s going to happen with the bowls,” PaJm said. “But I know the Gator would love it if the Outback were to pass on Penn State." The regular season may be over for the Lions, but in terms of a final destination, there is still football to be played in Atlanta.

Each child who donated a toy to Toys for Tots or a canned good to the State College Food Bank at the beginning of the ceremony received a ticket, which was placed in a large box. Santa drew from the box and selected a fourth-grade girl named Esther to light the tree by shaking a set of magical bells. And as the crowd counted down in anticipation, watching the enormous tree expec tantly as the girl shook the bells, they seemed to epitomize the theme of the ceremony: Believe. To e-mail reporter: arms373@psu.edu progress, Foley said. In an effort to support women who are breastfeeding their chil dren, the university adopted policy HR-20. The policy includes flexible work practices to allow time for pumping, Foley said. Foley stressed the importance of fostering a family-friendly climate for both men and women. “A major point here is that this is not just a women’s issue,” Foley said. “Men care about balancing work and family life.” Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Blannie Bowen said part of creating a family-friendly climate for both women and men includes ensuring that employees feel comfortable taking advantage of existing poli cies, Bowen said. “In an environment like this, part of the problem is that people feel like they should come in to work when they should be at home spend ing time with their families. Our fac ulties do not live in isolation, they live with their families,” Bowen said. The study found that one of the major burdens on parents employed by the university was lack of avail ability of university-provided day care. In response, more daycare slots are being offered as result of a new daycare center that is being built at University Park, Foley said. Penn State Altoona also recently opened a daycare center. To better communicate existing leave policies, the Office of Human Resources also revamped its web site to have all of the information on family leave in one place, Foley said.
