l h BRIEF
Police dog euthanized after battling cancer
ALLENTOWN A veteran police dog in Allentown has
been euthanized after briefly returning to wo A amid a battle
with cancer.
Nine-year-old Ealko had his spleen removed due to a rup
tured tumor in October and was later able to return to work
with his handler.
But The Morning Call of Allentown reports the cancer
spread to his liver and elsewhere. The police department said
Thursday that the canine was euthanized at a veterinary cen
ter in Whitehall.
Ealko joined the department in 2003.
He was honored for chasing down and catching an armed
suspect last summer and also chasing down a hit-and-run sus
pect two years ago.
The department credits Ealko with more than 20 felony
apprehensions and hundreds of narcotic detections.
Man charged in Facebook threats
ALLENTOWN Federal authorities say an unemployed
amusement park worker in eastern Pennsylvania threatened
to carry out “the most heinous school shooting ever imag
ined.”
The FBI says Bethlehem resident Anthony Elonis made
that threat and others on Eacebook after he was fired from
nearby Domey Park and Wildwood Kingdom in October.
Elonis was charged Thursday with interstate communica
tion of threats. He is in federal custody pending a bail hearing
on Monday.
Authorities say Elonis posted a threat Nov. 16 that said there
are “Enough elementary schools in a 10-mile radius to initiate
the most heinous school shooting ever imagined.”
It continued: “And hell hath no fury like a crazy man in a
Kindergarten class.”
The public defender’s office did not immediately return a
request for comment.
Shumei Sun of Virginia Commonwealth University will
give a lecture at 11:15 a.m. in 127 Noll Laboratory (with video
conferencing to room CG62B at the College of Medicine). The
event is sponsored by the Department of Kinesiology.
Axel Munk of George August University in Germany will
discuss “The Estimation of Spot Volatility for High-Frequency
Data” at 2:30 p.m. in 106 McAllister Building.
Heidi Hausermann of Penn State will give a lecture enti
tled "Understanding Beans and Buruli: The Political Ecology
of Landscape Change in Mexico and Ghana" at 4:00 p.m. in 112

Bolden was not made available

media policy.
Though Penn State fans might
wonder how Bolden would’ve fared
had he not been concussed in
Minneapolis, his high school coach,
George Porritt said Bolden’s exit
from the starting lineup was “at
about the right time.”
“As a freshman, geez you don’t

“I think the coaching staff did a

“The buildings are not very traf

Clemente
From Page 1
During his tenure, Clemente
taught 2,500 SOCOOS students eveiy
year.
John McCarthy,head of the sociol
ogy department, said Clemente’s
popularity is undeniable.
“It’s hard to find faculty who con
nect well. He does that. He goes to
more funerals and weddings than
any other faculty member I know,”
McCarthy said.
Reflecting on his career,
Clemente said he never expected
the impact teaching would have on
him.
“People say I’ve done a lot for my
students, but the students have
done a lot more for me,” Clemente
said.
Revered by students and peers
alike, he began teaching again full
time in 1998 after 13 years as the
sociology department head.
Before then, Clemente spent
most of his time conducting
research or carrying out his admin
istrative duties.

Demography Barrett Lee said

suited elsewhere.
Though Newsome came to Penn
State with the reputation of being a
mobile quarterback that also had a
big arm, Clark said he doesn't see
the Lions ever using a two-quarter
back system.
Thus, Newsome’s decision to go
elsewhere would be based on the
fact of his position on the depth
chart or how open he’d be to a posi
tion change.
“Obviously he wasn't happy about
what was going on this year, and I
mean, he wasn’t seeing a lot of play
ing time,” Clark said. “I think he's
just going to try to take his talents
elsewhere.”

agreed that Bolden will continue to
respond well to the situation.
Much like the quarterback did
when he wasn’t a starter on St.
Mary’s basketball team, and much
like how couldn't compete in a few
track meets because of injuries,
Bolden always found a way to
rebound.
And though Paterno has opted to
stay with McGloin for the Outback
Bowl, he’s still optimistic about
Bolden's future at Penn State.
“[Bolden] has a lot of ability, but
he is a true freshman in the truest
sense of the word,” Paterno said.
“He wasn’t even here for spring
practice. He came in and unfortu
nately we had to start him a few
games early until [Matt McGloin I

Shields said she has been show
ing student artwork since 1990 and
even developed the Art on the Move
program, which opened up many
different spaces in the university to
student work.
“I went to various units in the uni
versity asking them to set aside wall
space that had been renovated to
accommodate artwork along with
lighting,” she said.
Shields said her records show
student work makes up 50 percent
of the artwork she exhibited.
“Students cannot call me the
week before and want an exhibit in a
few weeks. I can’t do spaces like
that,” Shields said.
SOCOOS was a leap of faith.
"He was sort of terrified about
stepping back into the classroom,"
Lee said.
He said Clemente revolutionized
the sociology department as its
head from 1983 to 1996, taking it
from mediocrity to a “nationally rec
ognized powerhouse.”
Clemente said he never expected
to rise to such a leadership position
when he arrived at Penn State in
1973.
He said the first time he gave his
“Clemente’s Rules of Life,” he
expected 20 students out of a section
of 400 to attend.
The rules Clemente devised
include encouraging students to fol
low their dreams, raise the bar and
instill self-respect.
Instead of arriving to an empty
room, all the seats were filled and
people who did not take the course
occupied sparse standing space.
Since then, his last lecture of the
semester has grown in popularity
every year.
Despite all the life experiences
Clemente had, from his early life
growing up in an Italian household
in Pittsburgh to the present, he said
his most cherished position is that of
a father.

Lions' season "as a humbling expe

But whether or not Bolden beats

sorted out in the coming months.
And the competition at quarter

Penn State to have.
