THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
On Friday night, 30 members of the French Club
piled into the Abba Java Coffee House for their
semi-annual crepe dinner. In what members had
hoped would be a happy and festive event, a dark
cloud couldn’t help but hang over the festivities.
Most of those in the coffee shop had just learned
that Paris was under attack.
“It was hard going to that event but I thought the
best thing we could do is celebrate French culture
and celebrate the things we love that are French
despite all the attacks that were happening,” club
President Justin Rongier (senior-mechanical engineering)
said.
At least 129 people died and hundreds more
were wounded after multiple suicide bombings
and shootings occurred in the French capital on
Friday night, according to Associated Press reports
on Sunday night. So far, the Islamic State,
also known as “ISIS,” claimed responsibility for
the attack. French President Francois Hollande

said the attacks were the worst France has seen
since World War II, calling them “an act of war,”
and vowing to strike back “ruthlessly.”
Penn State announced Friday night on Twitter
that all eight Penn State students who are currently
studying in France were contacted and safe.
Rongier, who was born in Paris and lived there
for six years before moving to Pittsburgh, said
the events that occurred thousands of miles away
“flipped around” the feel of the evening. Many of
the club members in the coffee house were taking
to social media platforms like Facebook and Reddit
to learn more information on the attacks.
“A lot of the people that are part of the club have
either been to France or have some connection
with France,” Rongier said. “We all contacted our
families and made sure everyone was safe because
if one of our family members weren’t safe,
we wouldn’t have been in a coffee house.”
A vigil will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday on the
steps of Old Main to remember the lives lost in
multiple attacks throughout the weekend in Paris,
Beirut and Baghdad, according to the event’s Facebook
page. The event had originally been planned
in response to the attacks, which took place on
Friday night in France specifically, but was broadened
to reflect the multiple acts of violence that occurred
around the globe over the weekend.
Brandon Sullivan, who originally planned and organized
the event, said he has been overwhelmed
by the support.
Sullivan (freshman-liberal arts) said he originally
expected maybe 100 people to attend, but as
of Sunday night, more than 1,200 people have indicated
on the Facebook event page that they plan
to attend.
“To think that this many people can organize so
quickly is astonishing,” Sullivan said.
Penn State student Liam Neigh, who is currently
studying abroad in Montpellier, France said
on Friday night, he and four other students were
watching “Casino Royale” in French at a friend’s
apartment. Suddenly, their phones began to vibrate
with notifications from the New York Times,

France responds to attacks
by bombing Islamic State HQ
By Greg Keller and
Philippe Sotto
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS— France launched
“massive” air strikes on the
Islamic State group’s de-facto
capital in Syria Sunday night, destroying
a jihadi training camp
and a munitions dump in the
city of Raqqa, where Iraqi intelligence
officials say the attacks on
Paris were planned.
Twelve aircraft including 10
fighter jets dropped a total of 20
bombs in the biggest air strikes
since France extended its bombing
campaign against the extremist
group to Syria in September, a
Defense Ministry statement said.
The jets launched from sites in
Jordan and the Persian Gulf, in
coordination with U.S. forces.
Meanwhile, as police announced
seven arrests and
hunted for more members of the
sleeper cell that carried out the
Paris attacks that killed 129 people,
French officials revealed to
The Associated Press that several
key suspects had been stopped
and released by police after the
attack.
The arrest warrant for Salah
Abdeslam, a 26-year-old born in
Brussels, calls him very dangerous
and warns people not to intervene
if they see him.
Yet police already had him in
their grasp early Saturday, when
they stopped a car carrying three
men near the Belgian border. By
then, hours had passed since authorities
identified Abdeslam as
the renter of a Volkswagen Polo
that carried hostage takers to the
Paris theater where so many died.
Three French police officials

conference with Czech Republic President Milos Zeman on Sept. 9, 2014.
and a top French security official
confirmed that officers let Abdeslam
go after checking his ID.
They spoke on condition of anonymity,
lacking authorization to
publicly disclose such details.
Tantalizing clues about the
extent of the plot have emerged
from Baghdad, where senior Iraqi
officials told the AP that France
and other countries had been
warned on Thursday of an imminent
attack.
An Iraqi intelligence dispatch
warned that Islamic State group
leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had
ordered his followers to immediately
launch gun and bomb attacks
and take hostages inside the countries
of the coalition fighting them
in Iraq and Syria.
The Iraqi dispatch, which was
obtained by the AP, provided no
details on when or where the

saying there had been an explosion
at a Paris stadium.
Neigh said they were a bit
shocked, but didn’t initially realize
the gravity of the situation until
the number of news articles regarding
the Paris attacks began
to multiply.
“My friends who are sitting by
me on the couch are all looking at
their phones at this time, and we
said, ‘You know what, lets pause
this movie. Something’s going
on,’” Neigh (junior-information
sciences and technology and
Spanish) said.
Being fluent in French, Neigh
translated the news broadcasts
to his friends — “There were explosions
… and there’s now a hostage
crisis at the Bataclan,” — until
they found the BBC station in
English.
They then began contacting
their friends in Paris to assure
their safety. With bad cell service
and calls dropping, it was hard
to make contact, Leigh said, but
they eventually did, except for one
friend who they didn’t reach until
hours later to confirm his safety.
Neigh said Penn State emailed
him shortly after 11 p.m., French
time, requesting students to check
in with Penn State in the wake of
the violence, and recommending
students to adhere to law enforcement
guidelines and stay indoors
until the situation stabilized.
Neigh said his local community
is still in a state of shock,
and everyone is being cautious,
considering there is still a suspect
at large as of Sunday. Seven
other suspects linked to the attacks
were detained in Belgium,
according to the
Associated Press.
Now the community is holding
off from having any large gatherings,
but Neigh’s host brother
Thibault de Boutray said he and
his family planned to go to church
Sunday night, the first large gathering
since the attacks. They also
plan to place a candle in their window
to show support for Paris.
De Boutray, 18, said closing the
French border comes at a difficult
time for many locals. In the midst
of Europe’s immigration crisis, he
said people need to realize that

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
A judge has granted a search
warrant that will allow State College
Police to collect DNA samples
from the son of a woman
murdered in a domestic violence
incident in August.
District Judge Carmine Prestia
has allowed police to perform a
cheek swab for DNA on Alexander
Kudlach, according to court documents.
The warrant was received
by Detective Ralph Ralston on
Nov. 6.
Alexander Kudlach, 19, is the
son of Alois Kudlach, who was
charged with the murder of his
wife —and Alexander’s mother—in
September following her
this decision is not related.
“I believe the right choices need
to be made,” he said. “It’s a threat
to the country if we keep [attacking]
Syria, but letting ISIS expand
could be [in the long run] another
threat to the country.”
Neigh said a black American
student in his program asked if
“minorities should be afraid right
now.”
“The answer was kind of unclear,”
Neigh said. “Minorities
are kind of afraid at this point that
people will lump sum together
the attacks that happened on a
certain color of skin or a certain
religion. If there’s really anything
that I think that the Americans
can do is remember to be tolerant,
remember that this was an exception
and remember that this was
terror.”
Neigh said anyone who is considering
visiting France or any
other country in Europe, including
anyone planning to study
abroad, shouldn’t let these acts
scare them from not doing so.
When Sullivan started planning
the event by making a Facebook
page on his own, numerous
people have reached out to him
through social media hoping to
help, including Anthony Zarzycki.
Zarzycki had been eating
dinner in the dining commons on
Friday night when he looked up at
the televisions playing CNN live
coverage of the latest news coming
out of Paris.
“I felt unable to eat anymore because
of how horrific and massive
this event was,” Zarzycki (sophomore-science)
said.
He said he then left the dining
hall with his friend and walked
to the HUB-Robeson Center
to watch the news on the big
television screens.
Students had gathered in a
group to watch the event unfurl
throughout the night, some stopping
as they walked by, others sitting
in chairs as if they were going
to be there for a while.
Zarzycki, who was born in Italy
because his father was in the Air
Force and now lives in Pennsylvania,
reached out on Facebook
to then-stranger Sullivan to assist
with planning a vigil.
“When I saw a vigil being
planned, I knew how much it could
help people and bring us together,
and so I felt I had the responsibility
to do my part,” Zarzycki said.
Anand Saran (sophomore-engineering),
who also reached out to
Sullivan on Facebook to help with
organizing, said that he invited every
friend he knows at Penn State
to the event.
Sullivan said he was at work
when his friends texted him about
the attacks in Paris.
“I just felt helpless the rest of
the night and I had this feeling
that I needed to do something
about this and so the vigil idea
came up,” Sullivan said.
Sullivan said he hopes to get
loudspeakers and a microphone
as well as support from local businesses
downtown for the event.
The Facebook page urges vigil
goers to bring along their own
candles or lights on Tuesday night.
Organizers of the event said they
have reached out to to the administration
in regards to the event
and are awaiting a response.
Penn State UNICEF President
Mikell Washington (senior-criminology,
sociology and Spanish)
said a vigil held on Friday night
at Old Main was originally to address
the refugee crisis, however
that changed shortly beforehand
to standing in solidarity with
Paris.
While the attendance was low,
UNICEF Vice President Hannah
Toombs said the members present
were very emotional, and the
vigil was a way to recognize it in
that moment.
Two of Washington’s roommates
are originally from Paris,
he said. One had lost a friend
living there.
“I think that there is hope for
the future because we are having
these conversations,” Toombs
(senior-anthropology and Spanish)
said. “We’re taking the time
to recognize and brainstorm what
we can do to make a difference.”
Zarzycki said he is optimistic
when asked about his expectations
for the vigil on Tuesday. He
said he hopes to show people that
Penn State can stand in solidarity
and unity in the face of this
weekend’s violence.
“I certainly hope people come
together not out of hatred and
retaliation but kindness and charity,
but I also think Penn State
deserves the chance to speak its
grievances openly,” Zarzycki said.

and wounded in the Friday attacks in Paris.
DNA cheek swab approved to be
given to alleged murderer’s son
death in August.
Alois Kudlach is currently being
held in the Centre County
Correctional Facility as a result of
his first and third degree murder
charges.
When interviewed by police following
his mother’s death, Alexander
Kudlach confirmed that an
argument had occurred between
his parents the night before the
incident, which matched his father’s
story.
Alexander Kudlach also said
the argument continued the
morning of the incident, according
to the documents.
He said during the argument
his mother, 1987 Penn State Alumna
Nuria Kudlach, went to the
kitchen to get more coffee. Alexander
Kudlach said he then heard
his parents arguing in the kitchen,
followed by two gun shots.
According to the documents, he
then ran to the kitchen and saw
his mother lying on the kitchen
floor. Alexander Kudlach said he
did not witness the actual shooting.
Alois Kudlach then called 911,
and EMS and police arrived
shortly after the call was made,
according to the documents.
Police seized Alexander Kudlach’s
shirt and shorts after obtaining
a search warrant. Both articles
of clothing were black, and
no blood stains were observed
on the clothing, according to the
documents.
On Sept. 16, several items —
including Alexander Kudlach’s
clothing —underwent forensic
analysis.
According to the documents,
forensic scientist supervisor Jeffrey
Wagner reported Alexander
Kudlach’s T-shirt, as well as other
items, revealed stains that were
tested positive to be blood.
Wagner categorized these
stains as possible blood splatter,
not blood transfer or smears, according
to the documents. Wagner
requested a cheek sample be
taken from Alexander Kudlach
for the purpose of identification
and comparison to find the source
of the blood stains.

attack would take place, and a senior
French security official told
the AP that French intelligence
gets these kinds of warnings “all
the time” and “every day.”
However, Iraqi intelligence officials
told the AP that they also
warned France about specific details:
Among them, that the attackers
were trained for this operation
and sent back to France from
Raqqa, the Islamic State’s de-facto
capital.
The officials also said that a
sleeper cell in France then met
with the attackers after their
training and helped them to execute
the plan. There were 24 people
involved in the operation, they
said: 19 attackers and five others
in charge of logistics and planning.
None of these details have been
corroborated by officials of France
or other Western intelligence
agencies.
All these French and Iraqi security
and intelligence officials
spoke with the AP on condition
of anonymity, citing the ongoing
investigation.
Abdeslam is one of three brothers
believed to be involved; One
who crossed with him into Belgium
was later arrested, and another
blew himself up inside the
Bataclan theater after taking the
audience hostage and firing on
them repeatedly. It was the worst
of Friday’s synchronized attacks,
leaving 89 fatalities and hundreds
of people wounded inside.
The Islamic State group claimed
responsibility. Its statement
mocked France’s air attacks on
suspected IS targets in Syria and
Iraq, and called Paris “the capital
of prostitution and obscenity.”
In all, three teams of attackers
including seven suicide bombers
attacked the national stadium,
the concert hall and nearby nightspots.
The attacks wounded 350
people, 99 of them seriously.
Abdeslam rented the black
Volkswagen Polo used by the hostage-takers,
another French security
official said. A Brussels parking
ticket found inside led police to
at least one of the arrests in Belgium,
a French police official said.
Three Kalashnikovs were found
inside another car known to have
been used in the attacks that was
found in Montreuil, an eastern Parisian
suburb, another a French
police official said.
As many as three of the seven
suicide bombers were French
citizens, as was at least one of the
men arrested in the Molenbeek
neighborhood of Brussells, which
authorities consider to be a focal
point for extremists and fighters
going to Syria from Belgium.
Belgian Interior Minister Jan
Jambon, speaking to The Associated
Press by phone, said suspects
arrested in Molenbeek had
been stopped previously in Cambrai,
France, “in a regular roadside
check” but that police had had no
suspicion about them at the time
and they were let go quickly.
One, identified by the print on a
recovered finger, was 29-year-old
Frenchman Ismael Mostefai, who
had a record of petty crime and
had been flagged in 2010 for ties to
Islamic radicalism, the Paris prosecutor
said. A judicial official and
lawmaker Jean-Pierre Gorges
confirmed his identity.
Police detained Mostefai’s father,
a brother and other relatives
Saturday night, and they were
still being questioned Sunday, the
judicial official said.
These details stoked fears of
homegrown terrorism in France,
which has exported more jihadis
than any other in Europe, and
seen many return from the fight.
All three gunmen in the January
attacks on the Charlie Hebdo
newspaper and a kosher supermarket
in Paris were French.
The attackers inside the Bataclan
seemed quite young, according
to one survivor, Julien Pearce,
a journalist at Europe 1 radio
who escaped by crawling onto the
stage, and then out an exit door
when the shooters paused to reload.
Before making his final dash,
he got a good look at one of the
assailants, he said.
“He seemed very young. That’s
what struck me, his childish face,
very determined, cold, calm,
frightening,” Pearce said.
Struggling to keep his country
calm and united after an exceptionally
violent year, President
Francois Hollande met Sunday
with opposition leaders — conservative
rival and former President
Nicolas Sarkozy as well as increasingly
popular far-right leader
Marine Le Pen, who has used
the attacks on Paris to advance
her anti-immigrant agenda.
Refugees fleeing war by the
tens of thousands fear the Paris
attacks could prompt Europe to
close its doors, especially after police
said a Syrian passport found
next to one attacker’s body suggested
its owner passed through
Greece into the European Union
and on through Macedonia and
Serbia last month.
Paris remains on edge amid
three days of official mourning.
French troops have deployed by
the thousands and tourist sites remain
shuttered in one of the most
visited cities on Earth.

5 day event planned
to preview TEDxPSU
By KatieDeFiore
FOR THE COLLEGIAN
Students and faculty involved
with TEDxPSU are preparing
to showcase innovation at Penn
State with their weeklong preview
event.
“TEDx marks an independently
run TED event,” TEDxPSU Director
of Public Relations Erica Avallone
said via email. “At a TEDx
event, TED Talk videos and live
speakers combine to spark deep
discussion and connection in a
small group.”
Avallone said TEDxPSU will
kick off on Monday in the HUB-
Robeson Center with music, special
guests and free laptop stickers
from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Sam Richards, a sociology professor
at Penn State, said one of
the goals of this week is to have
students and faculty see what it’s
like to present their ideas and research
in a TED Talk, and hopefully
they will want to try out to be a
speaker for 2016. The whole week
is set up in anticipation of TEDx-
PSU 2016, he said.
“It’s trying to get everybody
excited and inspired to do cool
things,” Tim Simpson, professor
of mechanical, nuclear and industrial
engineering, said.
Simpson said he will be speaking
at the Sci-5 Salon event on Tuesday.
Avallone said the event will showcase
projects and research across
five different branches of science.
Simpson said he will be discussing
the possibilities of 3-D printing
in his talk.
“We’ve got the new Maker Commons
in the Penn State library
that is opening soon that will give
everybody at Penn State access to
3-D printing, so my goal is to get
everybody excited about that,”
Simpson said.
Wayne Curtis, professor of
chemical engineering, will also
be speaking at Tuesday’s event.
Because his research deals with
cloning, Curtis said he will be providing
explanation as to what it really
means to clone. However, he
said he also plans to emphasize in
his talk the idea to find something
that interests you and turn it into
a career.
“It’s all about thinking about
education in something different
than the classroom,” Curtis said.
Other faculty members that will
be speaking at Tuesday’s event include
chemistry professor Sheryl
Dykstra, engineering design professor
David St. John and Director
of the Penn State Lunar Lion
Team Michael Paul.
Tickets for this event have been
sold out.
On Wednesday, there will be
an Eco-Car Showcase outside of
the HUB. “Cars will include a
McLaren, Bently, Porsche, Audi,
BMW, Corvette, GTR and the
PSU EcoCAR,” Avallone said.
“Partnered with NY Auto Depot
and PSU EcoCAR, TEDxPSU is
bringing the most innovative cars
to State College.”
On Thursday, the significance
of TED Talks within the Penn
State community will be discussed.
Richards, who has given two
TED Talks before, will be speaking
about his experiences.
One of his talks, entitled “A
Radical Experiment in Empathy,”
has over 1.3 million views
online, so Richards will be discussing
how giving such a successful
talk has impacted his career.
“I think it’s a good opportunity
for people to be involved in something
that has local, national and
international reach,” Richards
said.
Avallone said all of the events
are leading up to the big theme
and logo reveal for TEDxPSU
2016 on Friday.
“I hope the most anticipated
event is the theme reveal. Our
design team has been working
on it incredibly hard,” Avallone
said. “The theme is amazing and
is really going to make this year’s
conference stand out.”
Super Fair attendance doubles
By Tyler Arnold
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
One thousand people attended
this year’s Centre County Super
Fair Saturday morning at Mount
Nittany Middle School, doubling
last year’s total of 500 people.
The fair showcased more than
100 services and explained what
they offer to Centre County and
how people can volunteer to help
the community.
There were 110 vendors, which
was the full capacity of what the
school could hold, Sandy Schuckers,
who is on the Super Fair planning
committee, said.
Vendors set up tables in the
gymnasium, the cafeteria and in
the hallway between the two. In
the auditorium, they held informational
seminars and shows for kids
to watch.
Thanks to sponsors, Schuckers
said, they were able to make it free
for individuals and the vendors to
attend the fair.
They also handed out booklets
that contained information about
the fair and information regarding
all of the vendors that attended.
Jean Kagarise said she found
useful information on volunteer opportunities
she had been looking
for. She said she had known about
the opportunities beforehand, but
did not know who to contact.
Gary Kagarise said he found
useful information on home care
and what can be offered to veterans
in Centre County.
Some tables had raffles, door
prizes, giveaways and events for
kids. There was something there
for all ages, Schuckers said.
Matt Mullis (senior–secondary
education) ran a table with his
Penn State club, Superheroes
for Kids. The club allowed kids to
make superhero masks and had
activities for them to do.
Maya Shenoy (sophomore–
neuroscience) said the group
goes around to community events
and tries to help kids have fun.
There was an informational
presentation on Medicare and
wills, power of attorney and
trusts, as well as one on weatherization,
Schuckers said.
There was also a puppet show
and a magician for kids, she said.
The Downtown Rotary Club
provided the food for purchase at
the event. Schuckers said it was
good to have them provide the food
because their money also gets
funneled back into the community.

PSU Latino Caucus hosted a food fundraiser by serving home-cooked
latino dishes on Saturday, Nov. 14.
Latino Caucus
cooks for cause
By Kelly Chartrand
FOR THE COLLEGIAN
Walking into the first floor of
the GN Centre at 142 S. Allen St.,
the smell of Latino cuisine filled
the air. Following the signs up
to the third floor of the building,
the Penn State Latino Caucus’s
“Comida Casera” fundraiser
was off to a crowd-pleasing start
with the words “good food, good
friends and good times” hanging
above the buffet.
“Comida Casera” — which
translates to “homemade food”
in English — consisted of a variety
of traditional Latino meals
from countries around the world,
as well as Latino music.
“Comida Casera’s” goal was
to raise money for the Latino
Caucus’s “Nosotros Somos… Familia!”
event to be held on Jan.
15, 2016. “Nosotros Somos… Familia!”
meaning “We are… Family!”
in Spanish, will be a large
cultural celebration consisting of
traditional Latino music, dance,
food and history.
“Nosotros Somos… Familia!”
co-chairs Stacy Tirado and Hazel
Piña helped run the “Comida
Casera” event. Tirado said she
hopes the show fundraiser displayed
how hard the Latino Caucus
is working to make “Nosotros
Somos… Familia!” a prominent
event.
More than 18 hours were spent
preparing and cooking the food
served, Tirado (senior-animal
sciences) said.
For $7, attendees could choose
one of each type of food from the
large array of dishes. Guests
had the options of beef or cheese
empanadas, white rice or rice
mixed with red beans, roasted
pork or baked chicken and ceviche
— fish cured with lemon and lime
juice — or vianda, cod with onions,
cassava and potatoes. Three
dessert options, brownies, flan or
tres leches, were also available to
choose from.
“We are serving all traditional
foods,” Tirado said. “We all made
meals that we know how to make
from home, which ties this event
into the whole family aspect of
[“Nosotros Somos… Familia!”].
These are recipes that our families
have taught us, and now we
want to pass them on to the people
that attend Penn State.”
The food served was not only
traditional, but it also had ties
to the upcoming holiday season.
The meals were signature Latino
Thanksgiving and Christmas
foods, Piña (senior-human development
and family studies) said.
“The food we [served] here is
like the turkey of Thanksgiving,”
Tirado said. “We go home next
week for Thanksgiving, so we
wanted to show what [Latino families]
commonly do. We all come
together with our families and we
have a social, we dance, we play
games, we cook food and then we
sit down and enjoy what we made
all together. It’s a bonding thing.”

Terrorist attacks in Paris no more
or less important than others
All you have to do
is hit “Try it,” and
your profile
picture is covered by the
French flag.
That was Facebook’s
response to the terrorist
attacks in Paris this past
weekend. There was no
shortage of statuses
declaring support either.
And then rose the
opposition, citing attacks in
Beirut and Baghdad,
disasters in Japan and
Brazil.
The question was: what
should we care about
more?
Should we be angry
there isn’t a Lebanese or
Japanese flag to impose
over our profile photo?
There is no hierarchy of
importance when it comes
to a variety of places that
have been attacked by
terrorists.
If anything, the media is
more likely to cover an
attack in a location like
Paris where there are
OUR VIEW
We can’t rank the importance of natural
and human disasters’ media coverage
against one another.
likely several news outlets
stationed as opposed to in
Lebanon.
We must remember that
tragedies are just that:
tragedies. We can’t ascribe
more importance to one
than another.
It’s important to be
actively seeking out world
news. Even when events
get less coverage, it doesn’t
mean people shouldn’t
know about them. It’s not
difficult to follow another
country’s news source on
Twitter.
That’s not to say that
news sources shouldn’t be
covering every event, but
as citizens, we do have a
responsibility to seek out
news even if it’s not
immediately visible.
It makes sense that
France has a lot of media
coverage. France, one of
our closest allies, was
supportive after 9/11, so
the United States is acting
in reciprocal support.
After all, reciprocal
support is important.
Changing your profile
picture to support France
is a nice gesture.
It doesn’t belittle Beirut
or Japan or Brazil to
support France.
Don’t get mad about one
issue being covered more
than another.
Just stay as informed as
you can, and keep in mind
that no matter how you
react, terrorism is a
worldwide problem that
clearly isn’t getting better.

Library at 8:45 p.m. to study.
Adjacent to the library was
the National Museum of Modern
Art, where she and her family
had cheerily mocked
postmodern art during a
vacation six years prior (a
painting that consisted of
nothing more than a solid blue
canvas was a particular source
of amusement).
The library closed at 10 p.m.
She moved to a Starbucks to
continue studying. The streets
were thronged with young
Parisians making their way
through the city: just another
Friday night.
When the Starbucks closed,
she walked to Gare Saint-Lazare
station to study some more.
She checked her Facebook
feed. Someone had posted about
an ongoing terrorist attack. She
read more: three confirmed
attacks, explosions outside a
soccer stadium, a death toll that
kept climbing. Sirens wailing.
Streets awash in red and blue
lights. Hostages held at
Bataclan theater, less than two
kilometers from the library
where she had studied.
She decided to go home.
The 11:40 train to the suburbs
was packed. Friends called and
texted and Facebooked her,
asking if she was okay. She sent
a message to her parents on
WeChat, telling them she was
safe.
The messages kept
pouring in.
Her frère, via Facebook, at
1:14 a.m.: “Hey sister I talked to
mom so I know you’re okay.
Anyway, just wanted to say that
I love you.”
Her response: “thanks frère!
love you too! i cant wait to see
you again during christmas
break!”
One a.m. became 2, and 2
became 3.
Like millions of others, she
stayed late into the night, trying
to understand what had
happened, her face illuminated
by the warm glow of her laptop.

Letters should be about 200

should include graduation year.
All writers should provide their
armored trucks and manning
makeshift barricades. None of
them looked older than 20. She
saw tires in flames and the
burnt out husks of cars. She
could make out tank tracks
smeared across the road.
The night before, June 4, 1989,
she and her husband had fallen
asleep to the sound of tanks.
They lived in a farmer’s shed
near the fourth ring road, east
of central Beijing. He worked at
a factory and she worked at a
research institute.
Every day she sat through a
four-hour bus ride to and from
work.
Sometimes the buses were so
packed she had to wait for the
next one.
She had worked hard her
whole life: straight A’s in high
school, acceptance to a
university in the capital, a
research position after
graduation.
She met her husband in
graduate school. They were poor
enough to live in a farmer’s
shed and not own a television or
telephone; they were ambitious
enough to dream of moving to
America.
When they woke up and saw
the soldiers on June 5, they had
no idea what had happened.
They heard rumors, though:
that Tiananmen Square had
been cleared of the student
protesters who had camped
there for months, that there had
been gunfire, that people had
died.
They stayed inside and didn’t
talk to anyone. They were afraid.
They started to panic.
What had happened the day
before? What would happen
tomorrow? Would things ever go
back to normal? Everything was
shut down: no buses or subways
ran, no
restaurants were open and no
one went to work.
It was as if someone had
pushed the pause button on an
entire city.
And they sat in their shack
and waited.
A few days later, when life
started to regain some
semblance of normality, she
headed to a dian bao da lou, a
telegraph building, near
Tiananmen Square. Her
workplace was near Tiananmen
and throughout the spring she
had seen huge crowds

She waited in line to send a
telegram to her parents. She
didn’t feel particularly
concerned about her family; she
just wanted to let them know.
Telegrams were charged by
the character, though, and since
she was poor, she tried to keep
it as short as possible:
“Everything’s fine.”

“Have you heard from
Xiaomeng?”
I hesitated. It had been a
month since I had contacted my
sister. “No, not for a while,” I
said.
“Do you know if she’s okay?”
he asked. “You know, with
everything going on in Paris.”
Then I remembered: the TV
at the HUB-Robeson Center
showing footage of a terror
attack in Paris. My sister
attending grad school in Paris.
Oh my god.
“The school she goes to is in a
suburb,” I said.
“She’s not in the city. She’s
fine.”
But was she fine? How did I
know? How did I not make the
connection? How did I watch
news of a terror attack in Paris,
shrug my shoulders and then
meet up with a friend for
dinner? What kind of brother
was I — that a friend of hers
immediately put two and two
together when he saw the news
while I, her own flesh and blood,
saw the news and stuffed my
face?
I called my mom. Was Sister
okay?
Yes, she said, Sister is fine.
She had received a message
from her on WeChat. Sister
should be safe in her apartment
now.
I logged onto Facebook and
sent my sister a message at 7:14
p.m. I told her I loved her, that I
was sorry for not messaging her
more regularly, that I would
pray for her. She told me she
loved me too, that she was sorry
as well, that she would pray for
me.
I went back to my room and
Skyped my mom. I told her I felt
terrible: that I had failed as a
brother, that I didn’t even think
of her when I saw the news and
that worst of all I couldn’t see
past myself.

That while my sister was
safe and sound there were

Yet, I didn’t feel relief, only
an inbent spiral of self-hatred
and guilt, that I was a
fundamentally selfish and
loathsome person.
I felt
terrible for feeling terrible.
She said: it’s okay, it’s okay,
it’s okay.
She told me about sending a
telegram to her parents after
the Tiananmen Square
massacre.
Months later she went back
home and her parents told
their side of the story.
Unlike my mom, they owned
a TV and saw the news about
Beijing. They tried calling her
workplace, but no one knew
where she was. Days passed
and they still didn’t hear from
her. They were about to send
their two sons, my uncles, to
Beijing to look for her when
they received her telegram
that was as short as possible.
Were they angry at her?
Of course not, my mom told
me. They were relieved. But
my mom felt terrible.
“At that moment I didn’t
think about how much my
family cared about me. All I
thought about was myself. I
was young and naive. Looking
back, I realized how stupid I
was. To let my family go
through so much heartache,
all because of my selfishness,”
she said.
Mom was at home, Dad had
gone to a hotel in Limerick,
Pennsylvania for a conference,
Sister was in her apartment
and I was in my dorm.
Behind my mom I could
make out family photos on the
shelf: Sister in her cap and
gown, Sister beside the Lion
Shrine, me and Dad and Sister
in front of the Notre Dame
during our vacation in Paris,
the whole family smiling in our
living room.
My mom and I talked late
into the night. Our faces were
illuminated by the warm glow
of our laptops.

Students honor coach Fritz
Spence through Walk-A-Thon
By Azure Chesney
FOR THE COLLEGIAN
Student athletes and other
participants laced their sneakers,
filled their water bottles and
warmed-up to today’s latest hit
songs in preparation for the third
annual Fit for Fritz Walk-A-Thon
on Sunday, Nov. 15.
The Walk-A-Thon, which was
held in the Multi–Sport Facility,
was first created in 2013 to support
assistant track and field coach
Fritz Spence after he was diagnosed
with leukemia seven years
ago.
“Our former head coach Beth
Alford-Sullivan, thought it would
be a good idea to help raise money
for medical bills,” Spence said.
“So she got the team together and
started Fit for Fritz.”
At the event, the track and field
team was split into groups of four
and competed against one another
in multiple exercises to gain points
in order to win the competition.
These included push-up contests,
walking around the indoor rack
and some less physically demanding
activities, such as, karaoke.
This year the team raised over
$6,000, with the proceeds going
to Central Pennsylvania’s Hope
Lodge Foundation, a nonprofit organization
that provides a place
for patients and family members
to stay free of cost.
“I stayed there in 2008 and 2013
and they are really great, so I
thought it’d be a good idea for us
to give back to them because they
have done so much for us, for me
and for my family,” Spence said.
Spence said last year the team
raised over $11,000, with proceeds
going to Be The Match foundation,
a nonprofit organization with
the largest marrow registry in the
world, according to the foundation’s
website.
The organization gathers marrow
transplants for patients with
blood diseases like leukemia and
sickle cell anemia, according to
the website.
Alongside the indoor track, Jennifer
Benovy, a volunteer for Be
The Match, set up a table for students
to get on the donation registry.
Spence said that a majority of
the team has already signed up to
be on the registry, but he is expecting
more sign-ups due to a large
freshman class that joined the
team this year.
Anyone between the ages of 18
to 44 can donate, but Benovy said
younger donors are ideal due to
generally better health.
“Eighteen to 25-year-olds are
the best ages,” Benovy said. “They
can save lives and to have that
privilege is pretty amazing.”
In order to raise funds, members
of the team were encouraged
to send out a link on Facebook
through the American
Cancer Society so friends and
family members could donate,
track and field member Megan
McCloskey said.
“I think it’ll make a huge difference
— I mean coach Spence
is my personal coach and he
had leukemia, so it’s near and
dear to our hearts,” McCloskey
(sophomore- public relations)
said.
Students organize events to bring
awareness to hungry and homeless
By Elisa Staniec
FOR THE COLLEGIAN
With Thanksgiving just around
the corner, some may not be able
to enjoy the same turkey and
mashed potatoes as others.
This week is the official National
Hunger and Homelessness Awareness
Week. In order to raise awareness,
the Beaver Residence Assistants
and Leadership and Service
Special Living Option are hosting
events on campus throughout this
week. On Wednesday, the Beaver
Residence Assistants and Leadership
and Service SLO hosted room
service for Beaver Hall residents
in Pollock Commons.
Starting at 11 a.m., the RAs
handed out ‘Beaver Bucks.’ Each
person who walked through the
ground floor received an envelope
with a random amount of Beaver
Bucks. These bucks were used to
buy pizza and snacks during Beaver
Hall Room Service from 7:30
to 10 p.m. Students were given a
number to call so that when they
ordered, their floor’s RA would be
able to come and deliver it.

With the Democratic Party’s
pool of presidential hopefuls now
down to three candidates, those
remaining went back and forth
during Saturday’s debate on CBS
on topics including fighting ISIS
and helping the lower and middle
classes.
One constant throughout the
debate was Vermont Sen. Bernie
Sanders and former Maryland
Gov. Martin O’Malley’s criticism of
former Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton.
Following the recent terrorist
attacks in Paris, for which ISIS has
claimed responsibility, the moderators
asked what action each
candidate will take to go after the
Islamic extremists.
Each candidate stressed that
ISIS is a problem; however, they
disagreed on how to go about defeating
the terrorist group.
Clinton said this election is not
just about electing a president, but
also about choosing a commanderin-chief.
The United States should
look at ISIS as its leading threat,
she said.
ISIS cannot be contained, but
rather it must be destroyed, Clinton
said, and the United States

said the idea came from “a [graduate]
student in student activities
who tried this at her old school”
so she organized “a building-wide
event to tie in service and leadership
too.”
Each person was given a random
amount to represent the differences
in income of those who
suffer from hunger and homelessness,
according to a pamphlet issued
by the RAs.
The SLO has other events coming
up this week for students to
have an opportunity to participate
in other campus-wide fundraising
and awareness programs.
Tonight there will be a “Hunger
and Homelessness” forum from
6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in room 129 of the
HUB-Robeson Center where students
will be able to interact with
hunger experts from Penn State
and the surrounding community,
according to the pamphlet.
If nothing else, the SLO “wants
people to learn facts about homelessness
and hunger” at these
events, John Paulmeno (junioraccounting)
said.
Today and tomorrow there is a
Thanksgiving Basket Drive Collection
in the HUB to donate to a
must cooperate with its allies.
However, she said it is not America’s
fight, but rather it is the fight
of the nations in the area that she
believes the United States should
support.
O’Malley countered Clinton and
said although it isn’t America’s
fight alone, it is still America’s
fight.
Sanders said he will rid the
world of ISIS if he is elected president.
However, he stayed consistent
with his beliefs from the last debate
saying that the greatest national
security threat to the United
States is climate change.
“Climate change is directly related
to the threat of terrorism,”
Sanders said.
O’Malley and Sanders went on
to criticize Clinton for what she
has done on foreign policy in her
career.
They both said that the invasion
of Iraq, which Clinton voted in
favor of, was responsible for
destabilizing the region and led to
what happened in the region afterward.
Clinton said her vote for the invasion
of Iraq was a mistake, but
that one has to look at the historical
context to understand why
she made the decision, arguing
family in Centre County hosted
by Students Engaging Students
and the Office of Student Activities.
“Poverty Fight Night” will take
place Tuesday night in the Noontime
Lounge of the HUB where
students can participate in an
overnight sleep-in simulation to
learn about the homeless experience.
On Wednesday the OXFAM
Hunger Banquet, will be held in
129 HUB from 6 to 8 p.m. Students
will have the opportunity
to learn about unequal food distribution.
The purpose is to explain
the “differences in income
of those who suffer from hunger”
and to focus on the luxuries that
“some people can’t afford,” Travis
Eckman (junior-telecommunications)
said.
In a traditional family, one
partner is generally working
outside of the home, and the
other at home, according to
the pamphlet. The first partner
will have more access to financial
resources and therefore be
more subject to starting an abusive
relationship, because of the
inequity within the family.
that the United States had been a
target of terrorists since the
1980s.
She went on to say she had success
in Libya by helping with the
overthrowing of the country’s former
leader, Moammar Gadhafi,
and having moderates elected in
Libya.
But O’Malley said Iraq, Libya,
Syria and Afghanistan are all a
mess right now.
Clinton was also not in agreement
with the two on the issue of
minimum wage laws. Although all
three supported raising the federal
minimum wage, Clinton argued
that it should be raised to $12 an
hour, while Sanders and O’Malley
argued that it should be raised to
$15 an hour.
O’Malley said that he was able
to raise the minimum wage as the
governor of Maryland.
Sanders said Americans need a
living wage and he will create jobs
by putting money in the hands of
workers.
Another spot where Clinton was
hammered on was the funding she
received from Wall Street. Clinton
said her donations did not affect
her attempts to regulate Wall
Street.
However, Sanders said her
answer was “not good enough.”
Growing Tree opens
its doors, boxes for
community to play
By Lauren Zelasko
FOR THE COLLEGIAN
Stuffed animals, science kits
and Slinkies lined the shelves
of local toy store Growing Tree
Toys, which celebrated Neighborhood
Toy Store Day on Saturday.
Growing Tree Toys, 202 S. Allen
St., offered crafts, snacks and
dozens of toys for children to play
with, which usually would not be
available for use.
“Children get to play with
things, build things and try things
that usually would be boxed,”
owner Kay Emigh said.
Originally from Uniontown,
Pennsylvania, Emigh said she
came to State College to study
elementary education at Penn
State, and never wanted to leave.
Emigh said she opened the store
33 years ago with the goal of giving
children access to toys that
also promote learning.
Growing Tree is one of many
toy stores that welcomed kids
on Neighborhood Toy Store Day,
which is sponsored by the American
Specialty Toy Retailing Association.
The ASTRA is composed
of dozens of independently owned
toy stores across the country, setting
them apart from chain retailers,
Emigh said.
“We offer toys that are developmentally
helpful to kids,” Emigh
said. “We try to choose toys that
are fun but worthwhile to growing
children.”
There was no shortage of activities
for the children visiting Saturday.
Magnetic building blocks
sat in one corner and a table full
of crafts and coloring in another
while plenty of laughter filled the
store.
“Kids are learning from
playing, so it’s important that
Sanders and O’Malley go after Clinton in debate
Sanders said that he hasn’t taken
any money from Wall Street
and that he is the only candidate
without a Super PAC.
“It’s easy to talk the talk,” he
said, but one must lead by example,
by not taking money from
them, he added.
O’Malley said Clinton’s plan to
regulate Wall Street is like “weak
tea.”
Clinton, however, said her
donations from Wall Street are
not because they feel they will get
something in return, but rather
because they have seen what she
can do.
After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks,
Clinton said she helped
rebuild Wall Street, and although
some of them do not agree with
her policies, they know that she
can take control and do what has
to be done, she said.
Toward the end of the debate,
Sanders strayed away from the
others, calling for a single-payer
healthcare system and for tuitionfree
education.
Clinton stood up for the Affordable
Care Act and said the United
States should keep it and work on
improving it rather than transition
to a single-payer system.
She also said students should
be debt-free coming out of college,
“Play is crucial to
development. You
see in kindergarten
[that] play is
essentially out, so
the more you have to
do it at home.”
Micki Hull
Customer
kids can take part in [playing],”
Ivy Rim, of State College, said
while her daughter played with a
stuffed animal. “Now that I have a
kid and I see kids playing, it makes
me happy knowing [they] are
learning.”
Dozens of families wandered in
and out of the store, playing with
the numerous games, puzzles and
crafts left out to enjoy. The toy
store not only caught the attention
of toddlers and tweens, but many
adults could also be found bobbing
around the store and tinkering
with the toys.
“Play is crucial to development,”
customer Micki Hull, of
Williamsport, said. “You see in kindergarten
[that] play is essentially
out, so the more you have to do it
at home.”
Hull’s sons, Andrew and Michael,
agreed, saying they enjoyed
playing with dinosaurs, puzzles
and anything that could be built.
“Having toys out to play with allows
kids to experiment with what
they like and to try new things,”
Growing Tree Toys employee Tiffany
Card said.
“Toys don’t always have to
be directly educational. They
don’t have to have an alphabet
on them to help [kids]
learn — just playing stimulates
developmental growth.”

but their tuition should not be
completely free.
O’Malley agreed with Clinton
and added he has experience
making education affordable because
he did it as the governor of
Maryland.
“It’s important to talk about
these issues, especially in times of
crisis,” Penn State College Democrats
Communication Director
Luis Rolfo said via email. “The
Democratic party, once again,
showed that they were the leaders
America needs.”
Penn State College Republicans
President Darian Gist joined in on
the criticisms of Clinton.
Gist said via email that she is “a

Jeff Schmidt crowned
2015’s Mr. Lionette
By Amara Saputo
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Male students came out and
gave their best effort-and dance
moves- all during the Lionettes’
Penn State Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic
Dance Marathon
fundraiser, Mr. Lionette, last night
in Alumni Hall.
The pageant gave the students a
chance to win the crown — or tiara
— of Mr. Lionette and all the glories
that come with the title including
a performance with the dance
team at an upcoming event, a gift
card and Lionette gear.
The Nittany Lion came to show
support and rally the audience
by throwing candy, taking
pictures and doing his signature
ear rub.
“We wanted to have a fun and
energetic event to raise money
for THON in place of the canceled
canning weekends,” Lionette Captain
Katie Shearin (senior-public
relations) said.
The talent show was broken
down into three rounds — Penn
State wear, dance routines and
an interview session — where
the participants tried their best
to charm the judges and rouse a
laugh from the audience.
After all was said and done, participant
Jeff Schmidt won the Mr.
Lionette tiara with a rainbow ribbon
dance performance in pink
spandex to Cascada’s “Everytime
We Touch” song.
“I made the whole thing up as
I went, it wasn’t choreographed,”
Schmidt (senior-meteorology)
said. “I just had fun and I’m glad
I got to meet the other contestants.”
Sporting a sparkly Penn State
flapper dress, the Lionettes’
THON child, Ashley Fazekas,
helped host the event alongside
cheerleader Carl Nerthling.
“She’s such a joy and [the Lionettes]
couldn’t picture doing
anything THON related without
her,” Lionette Captain Jackie
Ferre (junior – public relations)
said.
Ashley Fazekas’s mother,
Elaine Fazekas shared a few
words thanking the Lionettes
and telling the audience of her
daughter’s journey to fight cancer.
“THON is the greatest gift
we’ve ever gotten through this
journey,” Elaine Fazekas said .
“We’re not in debt and we can
live a normal life and enjoy life.
I wanted a big family and you’ve
gave that to me.”

‘She’s Crazy’ addresses mental
illness with cabaret performance
By Paige Woiner
FOR THE COLLEGIAN
Audience members experienced
an interactive cabaret
performance entitled, “She’s
Crazy: Mental Health and Other
Myths” last Friday and Saturday
at the State Theatre. Written and
performed by Sherry McCamley
and Cathy Springfield, the show
aimed to educate viewers on the
statistics of mental illness and
reduce the stigmas surrounding
them.
Sponsored by the Jana Marie
Foundation, the performance
was held in The Attic of the State
Theatre for three total performances.
Upon arrival, audience
members were encouraged to
use the crayons provided on the
tables to color pictures. Members
of the Jana Marie Foundation
informed the audience that
coloring was a wonderful way to
reduce stress.
McCamley opened up the performance
by playing the piano
and singing about how her family
thought she was crazy from a
young age. Shortly after, Springfield
joined her on stage, and they
both shared some very personal
information with the audience:
McCamley opened up about her
depression, and Springfield said
that she is bipolar.
“This is the problem; nobody
wants to talk about it,” McCamley
said. “We felt the only way we
could be effective with this show
is to tell our own stories, nobody
else’s.”
The rest of the performance
continued in the same personal
and intimate manner. While interacting
with the audience and
telling personal stories, McCamley
and Springfield talked about
the stigmas that society holds
about mental illnesses.
Using fortune cookies, the two
talked about some common stigmas
they’ve heard in the past.
“Only really crazy people take
medications for mental illnesses,”
McCamley said, reading off of a
fortune that she picked from a
bowl.
McCamley and Springfield said
mental illnesses are biological
brain disorders, and that they usually
strike between the ages of 18
to 26.
“It’s all in your leg,” McCamley
said, mocking a person with a
broken leg to depict that mental
illnesses are not treated the same
way as physical illnesses or injuries.
She told the audience that telling
people that their mental illness
is all in their head will not help
them to get any better, but only to
feel worse.
Between multiple songs, the
performance covered topics such
as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder,
addiction and suicide. Mc-
Camley and Springfield said they
want people to know that they’re
not alone.
“I think it would be helpful for
them to know that these problems
are universal, and there are treatments.
You shouldn’t feel embarrassed,”
McCamley said. “That’s
why we’re trying to get rid of the
stigma so no one feels embarrassed.
If you feel that something
is wrong, you should go get help.”
“She’s Crazy” was made possible
by the Jana Marie Foundation,
which was founded in 2011
in memory of Jana Marie Vicere,
a 2005 Penn State graduate who
took her own life at the age of 30
after struggling with depression,
according to its website.
“We work to empower young
people to make positive choices
and practice self-respect all
through art and creative expression,”
Marisa Vicere, president
and founder of the Jana Marie
Foundation, said. “Productions
like this allow us to further the
education of mental health and
help people to realize the statistics
of mental illness. We want people
to feel more comfortable about
reaching out for help if they need
it.”
McCamley and Springfield said
although many people have mental
illnesses, only half of those
people actually receive a diagnosis
and treatment.
“Labels can be helpful, students
can find help in labels, but they
also may not be helpful because
of the stereotypes associated with
them,” Jordan Barnard, staff physiologist
at Center for Counseling
and Psychological Services, said.
“It’s important to have diagnoses
in certain situations, but when
you’re just sitting with someone,
it’s important to focus on what’s
specifically happening to you and
why.”
Penn State offers free services
to students who may be suffering
from a mental illness. Students
are encouraged to schedule an appointment
with CAPS if needed.
“We offer individual therapy,
psychotherapy and group therapy,
workshops and outreach,” Barnard
said. “They’re open to all students.”
Through the last song of the
show, McCamley and Springfield
encouraged everyone to come out
of the closet with their mental illness.
“Everyone has a story,” McCamley
said. “If no t about themselves,
it’s about someone they know.”
I don’t need fashion.
Fashion needs me.

not exactly
what she had in
mind.
However, the
Lady Lions (2-0)
picked up the momentum
and defeated
Fordham
(0-1) 75-59 in their
second game of
the season.
“Both Friday
and [Sunday] we
started off the
game a little slow,
but once the game got going and
we got a little bit of momentum
from our defense, it picked up,”
Washington said. “But, certainly,
we want to start off stronger than
we did today.”
Brianna Banks, who scored the
last 3-pointer, said she has not explored
her shooting range and did
not realize how far she could shoot
the ball.
“I guess it was a nice shot at the
end of the game,” the redshirt senior
said.
Banks, who led both teams with
22 points, attributes her success to
Washington because she always
“yells” at her to shoot.
“Every day — even not in practice,”
Banks said. “She texts me to
shoot more.”
The point guard has been successful
at creating plays on offense
— not only for herself, but
also for her teammates.
Another player who impacted
the team offensively was senior
Candice Agee.
“I thought her presence kind of
opened things up,” Washington
said.
At times, the Lions appeared

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
During Penn State’s media day
on Oct. 28, redshirt senior Brianna
Banks said she was ready to move
on from her
time as a part
BASKETBALL
of the Connecticut
women’s
basketball program.
Banks, who had transferred to
Penn State following three years
at UConn, sat out the 2014-15 season
due to NCAA rules.
A year off gave Banks the time
to perfect her craft as a shooting
guard capable of providing her
team a spark whenever necessary
and taking over a game in the process.
Following the Lady Lions’ 75-59
over Fordham on Sunday, it’s safe
to say Banks has completed the
transition from a Husky to a Lion.
Banks had 22 points on 9-of-17
shooting, to go along with two assists
in the team’s victory over the
Rams.
Banks provided herself as the
Lions’ go-to player down the
stretch as the Rams closed the
deficit to five with 4:38 remaining
in the contest.
The redshirt senior nailed a
3-pointer to give the Lions breathing
room and followed that up with
a steal that led to a Teniya Page
breakaway layup to give the team
a 66-57 lead.
From there, Banks continued
to swarm the opposing players
on the defensive side, allowing
the Lions to finish off the win
comfortably.
As the final nail in the coffin, so
Retherford chose the bottom
position to start the second. He
quickly escaped, reversed his position
and with the aid of a 4-point
near fall, quickly racked up the 11
points needed for the tech fall at
4:25 in the second period.
His victory gave his team an 8-6
lead in the meet. Before Retherford’s
tech fall, Lions’ 125-pounder
No. 2 Nico Megaludis was defeated
by No. 6 Joey Dance in overtime.
Then, unranked Virginia Tech
141-pounder Solomon Chishko
shocked the wrestling world by upsetting
No. 2 Jimmy Gulibon with
a late takedown, giving him the 3-1
win.
At 133 pounds, the Lions’ No. 8
Jordan Conaway defeated No. 18
Kevin Norstrem by a final score of

No. 6 Jason Nolf also beat No. 3

Lions tested in Virginia Tech win
three times in the final period to
set up sudden-victory overtime,
where he took the freshman
down one more time to seal the
win.
When the Lions’ 174-pounder
No. 14 Bo Nickal took to the mat
to face No. 3 Zach Epperly, the

However, he shot just 4-14 from

“I knew that we had a mismatch

“She just makes it look so easy,”
Washington said, then added that
Page is an offensive catalyst for
the Lions.
Washington said Page does not
make bad decisions, even at tight
moments in the game.
“That’s a really great skill to
have as a point guard and really
uncanny for a freshman point
guard to have this early in her career,”
Washington said.
Redshirt sophomore Lindsey
Spann has been struggling to
shoot the ball, as she only put up
four points against Fordham, but
Washington is not concerned since
it is still early in the season.
“I’m not worried about her at all,
and I told her that after the first
game,” Washington said. “Her decision-making
and shooting selection
has been fantastic. They just
haven’t dropped, so she’ll be fine.”
Junior Peyton Whitted had career-high
rebounds in back-toback
games, posting 11 against
Fordham. Whitted has been playing
aggressively and pursuing
the ball when it is shot, which the
coach says she also does in practice.
“When I look at her stat line,
she’s kind of doing what I hoped
she would be able to do this year,
which is fill up the stat line,”
Washington said. “She’s all over
the place.”
Washington wants to be able
to convert in transition, and she
said she thinks the Lions did a
good job getting to the rim and
making plays.
The coach confirmed freshman
Amari Carter tore her left
ACL on Friday in the season
opener against Holy Cross and
will be out for the remainder of

“Big loss — we’ll definitely
miss her, but we’ll get her for

The Keydets averaged over 80

their total in Happy Valley on Saturday
was lower than any game they
played last season. Chambers said
he was impressed that his team
prevented the Keydets from going
on a scoring streak, holding them to
almost even totals in each half.
“Our goal was to go inside and
put pressure on the paint, and I felt
like we did that,” Chambers said.
“We’re going to rely on our defense
to win games, and our rebounding
to finish off plays.”
Although defense ruled the day
for the Lions, point guard Shep
Garner turned in a strong offensive
performance. He put 15
points on the board, including four
3-pointers on a day when the rest
of his team had a combined total of
one successful triple.
Garner described the Lions’ big
men as “unselfish” in their offensive
dominance over the Keydets,
distributing the ball for doubledigit
shots by Garner, Taylor and
Payton Banks. Garner was also
unselfish in his praise for Taylor.
“Our bigs are a great advantage,”

Women’s soccer starts
fast in win over Albany
By Vince Lungaro
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
SOCCER
Five minutes into Penn State’s
tournament matchup with Albany
on Friday the Nittany Lions had
already taken control
of the game
with a 1-0 lead.
Sophomore
Megan Schafer scored the Lions’
fastest goal of the season, as she
collected a cross from sophomore
Brittany Basinger and slid it past
the charging Great Danes keeper.
That record was previously held
by senior Raquel “Rocky” Rodriguez,
who opened the scoring just
5:25 into the team’s match against
Indiana on Oct. 25.
The Lions weren’t done yet following
Schafer’s opening goal
however, as Basinger followed up
the first tally by netting her own
just 11 minutes later.
Before the Great Danes could
even readjust and grow back into
the game, sophomore Emily Ogle
ended the match for all intents and
purposes before 20 minutes with a
snipe from 30 yards out.
Sunday’s 5-0 win showed once
again that when the Lions start
the match fast and open the scoring,
they’re almost impossible to
beat.
Ogle says it’s the team’s goal
every game to start fast.
“We talked about from the
opening whistle coming out
strong and setting the tone for
the whole game,” Ogle said. “I
think that was a big focus for us.
That first goal settled us down
and allowed us to grab a couple
more goals. We kept our foot on
the gas.”
The fast start allows the Lions
to not only get themselves
into a rhythm, but also alter the
game plan of the opposing side
and make the team play out of its
comfort zone.
The Lions have outscored their
opponents 23-4 in the opening
half of play and are 15-0-0 when
scoring first this season.
“As far as scoring first in the
game, that’s every coach’s desire.”
coach Erica Walsh said.
“This team has got a belief
when they score early. It’s all
about our leaders and our captains,
they’re the ones driving us
right now.”

the media by their
name and year after Saturday’s
3-2 win over Sacred Heart (5-5-1).
When senior forward Tommy
Olczyk took the podium, Fallis
lightheartedly referred to Olczyk
as a “fenior” — fifth-year senior
— but Olczyk made sure the media
knew it meant “second-time
senior” as he sat down.
Yet the media and Olczyk’s
teammates alike are well-aware
of Olczyk’s seniority. Saturday’s
game-winning goal scorer turned
25-years-old last week and was
greeted by a wheelchair and cane
from athletic trainer Justin Rogers
at his locker.
Olczyk used his veteran moxie
to lock up a series sweep on
Saturday. The forward gave the
Nittany Lions (6-2-2) a late lead
on Saturday when he scored his
third goal of the season.
Olczyk selflessly credited his
teammates, especially Andrew
Sturtz, who drew Sacred Heart’s
goaltender Brett Magnus out of
the net on a hard forecheck, for
giving him an “easy backdoor tapin”
that raised the volume a bit in
Pegula Ice Arena.

Lions suffer third B1G loss
By Mark Puleo
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
From preseason national favorite
to fighting for Big Ten runner-up,
Penn State’s season has been a
long series of ups
VOLLEYBALL
and downs.
Unfortunately
for the Nittany Lions’
conference title hopes, all of
their downs have been from the
hands of conference opponents.
Saturday night, the Lions fell to
the Minnesota Golden Gophers in
three sets, the third time this year
that the team has been bested by a
Big Ten opponent.
The Gophers, whose .885 winning
percentage is lower than the Lions
.889, notched their 15th conference
win of the season.
Their 15-1 record in the Big Ten
is a now-daunting gap over the Lions
and Nebraska, who share the
second spot in the conference with
records of 13-3 in Big Ten play.
With only four games remaining
on each of their schedules, the Gophers
look to have locked in the conference
title as they have already
beaten each of their four remaining
opponents.
The No. 2 seed in the upcoming
Big Ten conference tournament,
however, is far from determined
between the Cornhuskers and the
Lions. On Wednesday, the Lions are
set to face Michigan – a team that
took Penn State to five sets back in
October.
But assuming that Nebraska and

the Lions both beat their next three
opponents, who all rank lower in
the Big Ten standings, a showdown
between the Cornhuskers and Lions
is set for the final match of the
year on Nov. 28 to determine the
No. 2 seed. Penn State’s loss to the
Gophers came on their fourth consecutive
road match.
“I thought Minnesota played really
well and they had a great crowd,”
Penn State coach Russ Rose said
after Saturday’s loss. “I think they
were better prepared. From our
side, I thought we got some pretty
good efforts.”
Rose went on to specifically note
the play of Simone Lee and Megan
Courtney. The pair combined for 24
kills and 12 digs as Courtney’s 15
points and Lee’s 12 led the Lions.
However, it was the other aspects

of the game where Rose believes
his team allowed the Gophers to
steal the match.
“We were not very good at
the serve and pass game and
that really was the difference in
the match,” Rose said. “It really
comes down the players making a
commitment to do the things that
are necessary to get the win.”
On Saturday night, the main
thing that was necessary to get
the win was to play error-free volleyball,
which the Gophers played
triumphantly. Just as Rose mentioned
with his teams serving
struggles, the Gophers didn’t give
the Lions a single point on serving
errors as they notched seven aces.

Berger’s first goal came
shorthanded on Saturday and tied
the game at one, and his second
goal, scored three minutes later,
was a turnaround laser from the
right circle that found the only
puck-sized hole between Magnus
and the goal.
Berger now leads all freshmen
in the country with eight goals on
the year.
Despite the series sweep, which
saw the Lions score eight goals in
Friday’s win, including six special
teams tallies and five on the power
play, coach Guy Gadowsky acknowledged
his team has work to
do in correcting repeatedly made
mistakes.
Gadowsky’s team surrendered
10 odd-man rushes on Saturday,
and a combined 16 in both games
versus Sacred Heart.
“I don’t think we had one slopless
period,” Gadowsky said.
“[We’re] happy with the offense we
generated [this weekend], but we
certainly have to tighten things up
defensively.”
While the defense gave up a
plethora of chances, Lions’ goaltenders
Eamon McAdam and Matt
Skoff only gave up two goals each
on Friday and Saturday, respectively.
Gadowsky described Skoff’s 43-
save performance on Saturday as
“unbelievable.”
“He was tracking the puck extremely
well,” Gadowsky said. “He
looked really calm, he made a lot
of saves that looked easy, but they
were difficult to pick up….If Skoff
wasn’t great, we would have been
in trouble.”
The theme for Saturday’s game
was shots on goal. The Pioneers

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
After two upsets of ranked
veterans, Penn State needed its
younger wrestlers to be its recourse
on the
WRESTLING
road. They came
through, winning
four of the next
five matches and putting senior
Morgan McIntosh in position to
seal the dual against Virginia
Tech.
Last December, the Nittany
Lions had started a more experienced
lineup in a 20-15 win at
home. Sunday’s match in Blacksburg,
which ended 21-15, featured
six new starters for the Lions.
Senior Nico Megaludis (125
pounds) and junior Jimmy Gulibon
(141 pounds), both ranked
No. 2, had been upset. No. 6 Joey
Dance pumped up the home
crowd of 5,097 — a new record
for Cassell Coliseum — countering
Megaludis’ moves and earning
the 4-3 win. Solomon Chishko,
who is unranked, rode a late takedown
to upset Gulibon to win 3-1.
Heading into the heavier
weights, the Lions got younger.
But their shoulders handled
the burden.
The added pressure — two early
losses, being on the road in a
packed house, seeing two of their
ranked veterans fall — didn’t
them on Saturday, their highest
total of the season.
Skoff said that even though Sacred
Heart was relentless on offense,
he likes seeing a lot of action
in goal. Skoff also acknowledged
the bad feeling his Pioneer counterpart
Magnus must have had after
making 64 saves but still getting
the loss.
Gadowsky attributed the Lions’
overall success in both games to
the special teams, which scored
seven out of the Lions’ 11 combined
goals over the weekend — five
on the power play and two shorthanded.
The coach also praised his
team for being resilient and overcoming
their mistakes.
“I really appreciated and respected
how [we] finished it off,”
Gadowsky said. “Things weren’t…
falling for us tonight but we found a
way to win. We did not improve on
the things that we had to from what
we didn’t do well last night.”
The Lions’ series sweep made
it their second of the season and
improved the Lions’ record to 6-2-
2, which is the second-best overall
record in the Big Ten behind Michigan.
Sacred Heart dropped to 5-5-1
after the sweep.
The players acknowledged the
impact the student section, The
Roar Zone, and the 21st straight
sold out Pegula Ice Arena had on
Saturday’s game.
As Skoff and Berger left the media
room, Skoff reminded Berger
that the rowdy student section
sang “Happy Birthday” to the Lions’
newest 21-year-old after each
of Berger’s goals. “Yeah, I know,”
Berger said. “I was pumped.”

Young lineup shows
strength on mat
seem to weigh on them.
If it did, they shrugged it off with
each escape or shrewd reversal.
In their opening weekend, the
Lions saw strong performances
from their younger wrestlers.
Sophomores Zain Retherford (149
pounds) and Matt McCutcheon
(184 pounds) went 2-0, following
Friday’s pin falls over Lock Haven
with a technical fall and a major
decision against the Hokies. Mc-
Cutcheon’s major decision was
a point away from being another
tech fall (18-4), which eluded him
after dominating in riding time and
back points.
Freshman Jason Nolf (157
pounds) upset No. 3 Nick Brascetta,
scoring a takedown in the first
period and an escape in the second.
With two minutes and three
seconds of riding time, Nolf earned
another point to win 4-1 and continued
the momentum Retherford
had earned back minutes before.
“You just watch [Nolf] and you’re
just glad that you got four more
years of this guy,” coach Cael Sanderson
said after Friday’s win. “This
is going to be fun.”
Sanderson then continued to
assess his freshmen. So far, the
reviews are glowing.
Freshmen Shakur Rasheed
(165 pounds) and Bo Nickal (174
pounds) follow Nolf in the lineup.

SPORTS
Women’s hockey bounces back over weekend
By Thomas Leffler
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
With an opportunity to knock
off its first conference rival of the
season, Penn State rose to the
occasion in stride
HOCKEY
Saturday, defeating
Robert Morris 5-1
after a 2-2 tie ended
Friday’s play.
Saturday’s first CHA conference
win improved the team’s record to
4-7-3.
After Friday’s tight overtime
contest ended without a victor, the
Lions attacked the Colonials early
and often on Saturday.
The scoring started with senior
Micayla Catanzariti’s goal within
the first two minutes of the game,
starting a game-long trend of scoring
from the senior.
Catanzariti ended with the third
hat trick in program history, adding
a goal late in the second period
and an empty-netter in the third.
Catanzariti’s hat trick was the
first of the team’s season, and the
first multi-goal game for the senior
since the program’s inaugural
contest against Vermont in 2012.
“Great effort both days, really
solid execution on both days,”
coach Josh Brandwene said. “Really
consistent on both days, not
much difference between the two.”
That consistency led to scoring
five goals Saturday on an efficient
22 shots.
Senior Hannah Hoenshell and
junior Laura Bowman added
scores during the offensive onslaught,
the Lions’ highest-scoring
performance of the season.
On the defensive end, the Lions’
execution was tight as ever, allowing
only one goal from the Colonials’
37 shots.
Senior goaltender Celine Whitlinger
made 36 saves, following a
29-save effort in Friday’s contest.
The defense largely stuffed a
Robert Morris offense that leads
the CHA in goals per game, while
also preventing five Colonials power-play
opportunities.
Earp indradat/Collegian
Celine Whitlinger (30) tries to catch the puck during the game against Mercyhurst at Pegula Ice Arena on Friday,
Nov. 6. Penn State lost to Mercyhurst, 1-0.
“Great effort from our penalty
kill [Saturday],” Brandwene said.
“They executed our game plan
perfectly and Celine came up with
some really big saves.”
Friday’s game was marked
by a competition between Whitlinger
and Colonials goalie Jessica
Dodds, with Dodds’ 349 saves and
two shutouts this season leading
the CHA in both categories.
The rival goaltenders played
evenly, with both allowing two
goals on a shot differential of 33-31
in the Lions’ favor.
Both of Robert Morris’ goals
in the contest came on the power
play, going up 2-1 entering
the final period.
Bowman tied the game in the
third, receiving an assist from high
school teammate Amy Petersen.
Bowman, after scoring goals in
both games on the weekend, continues
to lead the team with six
goals.
The differences between Friday’s
tie and Saturday’s victory
were found in the intricacies of
the game, with the team getting in
the right positions for consistent
scores.
“Great weekend for us as far as
details are concerned,” Brandwene
said. “Just little decisions
with the puck, support for each
other in both the offensive zone
and the defensive zone and really
good neutral zone play.”
The pair of games against Robert
Morris came as part of a season-long
12-game road trip.
Next on the trip is a pair of
contests against St. Lawrence,
coming Nov. 23 and 24.

KC Chiefs
crush
Manning
By Arnie Stapleton
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Kansas City Chiefs prevented
Peyton Manning from
getting the one record he really
NFL
wanted, trouncing
the Denver Broncos
29-13 Sunday on the
strength of five interceptions
and five field goals.
Manning entered the day
with 71,836 yards through the
air, 2 shy of Brett Favre’s record
and tied with Favre with 186 victories.
He finished the day with just
35 yards on 5-of-20 passing, four
interceptions, two sacks and an
almost unheard-of zero passer
rating before being benched late
in the third quarter.
The only highlight for Manning
was his milestone: a 4-yard pass
to running back Ronnie Hillman.
Even that didn’t come until
he’d thrown his first interception,
gotten sacked and fumbled.
With Manning’s sore right
foot preventing him from stepping
into his passes properly and
getting zip on his throws, coach
Gary Kubiak turned to longtime
backup Brock Osweiler late in
the third quarter with the Broncos
down 22-0.
By then, Kansas City had
forced four punts in addition to
picking off four of Manning’s
passes in sending the Broncos
well on their way to their second
straight loss.
The Broncos (7-2) saw their
nine-game AFC West winning
streak come to an end with
their first loss to the Chiefs (4-
5) since Tim Tebow was their
quarterback in 2011.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Nov.
16, 2015:
This year you are ready to take the next
step on a long-term project or situation.
You’ll need to complete this step by Sept.
1, 2016, and you’ll be quite pleased once
you do. Your ability to communicate
seems to expand and support you in your
endeavors. If you are single, you will
meet someone of significance through
one of your friends. This interaction most
likely will occur before fall. If you are
attached, the two of you will focus on an
important step in your relationship. For
some couples, it could involve buying a
home; for others, it might be more meaningful.
CAPRICORN can be very difficult.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll
Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

★★★★ You are likely to surprise people
today. Your optimism comes through
with those you deal with on a daily basis.
Others verbalize their needs and desires.
You feel unusually responsive to one
specific person, which will please him or
her. Tonight: Are you working too hard?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★★ Keep reaching out to others for
more information. You will hear many
different versions of what is going on.

what is going on with a friend. Your creativity
is likely to emerge once you relax.
Tonight: So what if it is Monday?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
★★★★ Your optimism carries you over
quite a few hurdles. Others respond well
to your energy, also. You would be welladvised
to move forward with an investment
involving your home. A conversation
with a respected friend points you in
a new direction. Tonight: Play it easy.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★★ Others will be busy, and getting
their attention could take a lot of effort.
Heartfelt communication is the key. You
might not appreciate going to such
extremes at first, but later you’ll be glad
that you did. A child plays a big role in
making you smile. Tonight: Stay centered.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★ Get as much done as possible,
despite being distracted. If you can, work
from home. Be aware that you could be

to do.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★ Be aware of a family member’s
expectations. Only you can choose
whether you want to meet them. Be careful
about committing to any ideas before
you understand the total cost involved.
There easily could be a hidden agenda.
Tonight: Kick up your heels.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★★★ You will choose the right
words at the right time. You might energize
a friend who will watch your back
without you even asking.
Communication will be more important
than you realize with someone outside
your inner circle. Tonight: All smiles.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★ You could be in a situation
where you feel much better than you
have in a long time. Understand your
limits, and try not to get involved in any
financial schemes. Otherwise, you could
be sorry. Your instincts will take you
down the right path. Tonight: Be silly.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★★ Keep reaching out to someone
you care a lot about. This person might
challenge you to detach and look at the
big picture. This quality might be one of
the reasons you are drawn to this person.
Try to understand where someone else is
coming from. Tonight: Let the fun begin!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★ Step back and try to get out of the
limelight. Handle something that is
important yet private. Once you do, you
might want some time to reflect on a personal
situation. Often, you push yourself
too hard; don’t do that at this point in
time. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20
★★★★ A group of friends will cheer
you on no matter where you go. Stay
upbeat and pursue your chosen course.
Some people might want to follow you.
Make an important long-distance call to
someone you don’t often see. Don’t put it
off any longer. Tonight: In the whirlwind
of living.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
The long march toward the
NCAA championships is over.
Penn State will be represented
at the national meet
XC
after the team’s win
at the Mid-Atlantic
Regionals Friday at
Princeton. The victory
is the first Mid-Atlantic title for the
Nittany Lions since 2012.
Leading the No. 10 Lions’ impressive
performance was redshirt
freshman Tessa Barrett,
finishing the 6,000-meter race
fourth overall with a time of 21:02.
Coming in close behind Barrett
was the duo of senior captain Tori
Gerlach and sophomore Elizabeth
Chikotas, finishing sixth and 10th,
respectively.
“I thought they ran a very confident
but controlled race,” coach
John Gondak said. “It was a windy
day and the race went out very
conservative overall, and we just
positioned ourselves very well and
competed over the last mile.”
Running in a tight pack, the Lions
finished the day with a 30-second
spread, with all five scoring
runners finishing in the top 25.
Junior Julie Kocjancic and sophomore
Jillian Hunsberger added
onto the team’s depth, the key attribute
for the group all season
long.
Entering the Mid-Atlantic meet
ranked first in the region, the
team fortified its hierarchy against
ranked foes such as No. 14 Georgetown
and host squad No. 23 Princeton.
The top two finishing teams
advanced to the NCAAs, meaning
the Lions will see the Hoyas again
Saturday at Louisville.
“This race was the one where
you have to perform that day to be
able to advance to nationals,” Gondak
said. “We needed to make sure
we were on our game. I thought
we ran very well, but we are also
ready to turn around and give a
great effort at Louisville.”
The team’s victory at regionals
sealed a trip back to the NCAAs
after missing out on the meet last
season. This will be the teams’
first group NCAA championships
appearance under Gondak, the
2015 Big Ten Coach of the Year.
Hunsberger, in her freshman
season, competed in the 2014
individual meet.
SPORTS
With a fifth-place finish at the
Mid-Atlantic meet, the men’s
team’s season is now over. Coming
into the meet with a No. 6 ranking
in the region, the outperforming of
the ranking was not enough to advance
to Louisville.
Pacing the men was junior Conner
Quinn, finishing 11th overall in
the 10,000-meter race with a time
of 31:07. Other key races for the
men came from sophomore Ean
DiSilvio and senior Robby Creese,
both finishing in the top 25.
After an arduous season facing
top-flight competition, the
women’s team enters the NCAA
championships with a physical
preparedness.
“It’s more just tuning up our
minds to be ready and go compete,”
Gondak said.
“We have the fitness right now
that we’re going to race with, you
don’t gain any fitness over the
last three or four days going into
a championship. It’s more about
just working on the mental side of
competing against the best teams
in the country.”

Swimming sweeps
Penn State Invite
By Aidan Bitterman
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
It can be debated if a competitive,
pressure-filled win is more
fun than an easy, blowout win.
Penn State swim-
SWIMMING
ming had a little
taste of both this
past weekend at
the Penn State Invite, where it
hosted Princeton and Connecticut.
The Nittany Lions had more fun
when it came down to the wire in
the men’s meet, though.
The Lions swept the competition,
winning both the men’s and
the women’s meet, but the latter
was decided for the most part after
the first day, when the Lions
led with 445 points to Princeton’s
278 and UConn’s 228.
Junior Casey Francis and her
record-setting performance led
the women’s side. Francis set a
new school record and a McCoy
Natatorium record in the mile,
touching in at 16 minutes, 5.37 seconds.
She broke Megan Siverling’s
record of 16:07.55. Francis’ mile
time is also the best in the country
so far this year.
After setting the record on Friday,
Francis continued her dominance
on Saturday, setting her
season best in the 500 freestyle
with a time of 4:51.70, finishing in
first place in the event.
“It was really cool to look up at
the board and see a 16:05,” Francis
said. “I woke up [Saturday] morning
and I was very tired and very
sore, but I knew I could use the
positive energy and the good swim
[Friday] to keep me motivated.”
The women ended up winning
with 1,094 points. The Tigers finished
in second with 993 and the
Huskies in third with 860.
The men won their meet too,
but it came down to the wire. The
Tigers and the Lions had been
leapfrogging each other for the
entire meet, and when it ended,
the Lions looked up and saw their
name at the top.
Going in to the last event, Penn
State held a 1,001.5 to 993.5 point
lead over Princeton. The meet
came down to whichever team
won the 400-freestyle relay. The
Lions clinched the meet by finishing
in the second and third
slots. Overall, they finished with
1,189.5 points, the Tigers with
1,156.5 and the Huskies with 681.
“Good energy, good excitement,
good races, a lot to build off
of,” coach Tim Murphy said. “It’s
fun. It’s why we do all the work
that we do. We want to be in the
races, because come the end of
the year, you better be in the races.
That’s fun… you want that. I’d
like every race like that because
it would only make us better.”
As the meet was winding
down, all of the Lions, the men
and women both, were standing
right at the edge of the pool,
cheering and screaming with excitement.
“I honestly think it’s something
we needed, close meets like
that,” senior Matt Grillo — who is
a staff writer for The Daily Collegian
— said. “We needed something
like that. It’s not stressful,
it’s fun. We just get out there and
race, and use that pressure as
something to motivate you to go
faster. Any win is fun, but when
the meet is close, it makes you
swim faster. I know that’s what I
live for.”

Rangers win 9th straight, 4-3 over Leafs
By Denis P. Gorman
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Mats Zuccarello
was essentially a shootout
specialist when he made his New
York Rangers debut five years
NHL
ago. Now he may
be the team’s most
indispensable offensive
player.
Zuccarello scored the tiebreaking
goal with 58.3 seconds
left and had two assists in the
Rangers’ ninth straight win, 4-3
over the Toronto Maple Leafs on
Sunday night.
“He’s on top of his game,”
coach Alain Vigneault said. “He’s
been playing real well and his enthusiasm
is contagious.
“There’s no doubt that he is
well liked and well respected by
his teammates, and I think everyone
is happy that he’s playing
so well right now.”
Ryan McDonagh, Derek Stepan
and Derick Brassard also
scored for New York, and Antti
Raanta made 23 saves.
The league-best Rangers
improved to 14-2-2, the best 18-
game start in franchise history
in wins and points (30). The winning
streak is their third-longest
overall and longest since winning
10 straight in the 1972-73 season.
Peter Holland, Joffrey Lupul
and Dion Phaneuf scored for
Toronto, which snapped a threegame
winning streak. Jonathan
Bernier stopped 26 shots.
Bernier was shaky throughout
the game, surrendering
rebounds. That was costly on
Zuccarello’s game-winner. Mc-
Donagh fired a shot from the
left point that Bernier couldn’t
control and Zuccarello poked the
puck into the net to decide a wild,
back-and-forth contest.
“We win as a team and lose as a
team,” Leafs coach Mike Babcock
said. “Maybe (Bernier is) trying
too hard.”
Holland opened the scoring with
2:03 left in the first period with a
backhander from in close. The
goal was his third of the season,
and his second in four games.
The lead lasted all of 2:47 of
game time as McDonagh tied it
44 seconds into the second period
with his third of the year off of a
cross-ice feed from Zuccarello.
New York took a 2-1 lead at with
6:05 left in the second as Bernier
misplayed Stepan’s shot from center-ice,
and the puck rolled under
the Toronto goaltender’s pads. It
was the second goal from centerice
Bernier allowed in less than a
year, as Arizona’s Oliver Ekman-
Larsson had a similar score on
Jan. 30.
“It’s my job to be ready,” Bernier
said.
“I cost us two points. I let them
down tonight.”
Lupul’s goal with 2:22 left in the
period tied it again.
Brassard scored 3:37 into the
third to put the Rangers ahead 3-2.
The goal, his sixth of the season,
came off a pass from Zuccarello
from behind the net.
“When you (have) more confidence,
you make those plays,”
Zuccarello said. “It’s a nice feeling
to be that confident. The whole
team is like that. We have a good
stretch here, so it’s a good feeling.”
Phaneuf tied it again 1:38 later
with his second of the season.

Smart leads Celtics past Thunder 100-85
By Cliff Brunt
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OKLAHOMA CITY — Marcus
Smart got the best of Russell
Westbrook, and afterward,
Westbrook was already
looking for a
rematch.
Smart scored a
career-high 26 points to help the
Boston Celtics beat the Oklahoma
City Thunder 100-85 on
Sunday night. He also was the
centerpiece of a collective effort
that held Westbrook, the reigning
scoring champion, to 5-for-20
shooting.
Westbrook still scored 27 points
while carrying a larger load than
usual because Kevin Durant was
out with a left hamstring strain.
He became annoyed when asked
about Smart after the game.
“He had a good game,” he said.
“Eighty-two games. I do this. Don’t
get it twisted. Don’t get it twisted.
He had a good game. ... We’ll see
him again.”
Smart, who played college ball at
nearby Oklahoma State, acknowledged
the intensity of the matchup,
which was littered with hard fouls,
trash talking and spills to the floor.
“That’s the type of guy that Russ
is,” Smart said. “He loves challenges.
He’s going to try to do his best
every time, and vice versa with me.
You put two guys like that going
against each other, obviously, we’re
going to knock heads.”
Smart’s previous career high
was 25 points, also against Oklahoma
City.
“I think that he likes this gym,”
Celtics coach Brad Stevens said.
Isaiah Thomas scored 20 points,
Avery Bradley had 14 and Jared
Sullinger added eight points and
15 rebounds to help the Celtics win
their third in four games. Boston
shot 48 percent and outrebounded
the Thunder 47-34.
Serge Ibaka scored 16 points,
and the Thunder had a season-low
point total and their worst shooting
performance. Westbrook had
posted triple-doubles in his previous
two games but finished this
one with just five assists and four
rebounds.
Oklahoma City’s three-game win
streak was snapped.
The Thunder led at halftime
52-45 behind 17 points from Westbrook.
They pushed the lead to 11
early in the third quarter, but the
Celtics rallied and trimmed their
deficit to 74-72 by the end of the period.
Boston took the lead early in
the fourth quarter on a 3-pointer by
Thomas.
Holly Holm stuns Ronda Rousey with 2nd-round knockout
Neil Frankland
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MELBOURNE, Australia —
Ronda Rousey was the UFC’s unstoppable
force until Holly Holm
used the former
UFC champion’s aggression
against her to
produce one of the sport’s biggest
upsets.
Rousey chased Holm around the
ring at UFC 193 on Sunday - looking
for the right hold and taking
head shots along the way - until
Holm saw an opening 59 seconds
into the second round and snapped
a kick to the head that immediately
dropped her more fancied
opponent to the canvas.
Holm (10-0) jumped on the prone
Rousey, delivering several blows
to her head before the referee intervened,
ending Rousey’s 12-fight
unbeaten run and handing Holm
the bantamweight title. An ecstatic
Holm jumped around the ring
while Rousey stayed on the canvas
as she received medical treatment
amid the roar of a stunned, record
UFC crowd.
“She’s won a lot of fights and imposed
her will on a lot of fighters,”
Holm said. “So I expected her to be
aggressive and impose her will on
me.
“She had me on the cage for a
minute and obviously she was trying
in for a take down right there
... she had a lot of things she was
NBA
trying so I’m just glad I put in the
practice,” she added.
Rousey, a former judo Olympian,
was unbeaten through 12 UFC
fights before meeting Holm, and
a win would have been her seventh
title defense. Instead, Holm,
a 34-year-old veteran female boxer
from Albuquerque, New Mexico,
has the championship belt.
“We figured her aggression was
coming, if it didn’t that’s OK, but
with footwork and my career we
figured she wouldn’t give me that
space,” Holm said. “There’s been a
lot of blood, sweat and tears but it
was all worth it.”
Rousey left the stadium to receive
treatment for concussion and
facial cuts at a nearby hospital. Her
first public comments were in a social
media post on Monday.
“I just wanted to thank everyone
for the love and support. I appreciate
the concerns about my health,
but I’m fine. As I had mentioned
before, I’m going to take a little bit
of time, but I’ll be back,” a post on
Rousey’s Instagram account said.
Her trainer, Mick Dolce, told
reporters on Monday that Rousey
would bounce back from defeat.
“Ronda has lost before, she lost
at the Olympic games,” Dolce said.
“That was a great test for her,
and look at how she came back,
she came back a multi-time world
champion.”
Dolce said Rousey’s hospital
stay was precautionary and tests
had ruled out concussion.
“She was transported (to hospital)
because she got knocked out,”
UFC chief Dana White said in the
wake of the bout. “She’s completely
bummed out and depressed.”
White said a likely rematch between
Holm and Rousey would put
other potential matchups on the
backburner.
“We don’t make fights the night
of the fight, but the rematch makes
a lot of sense,” he said. “The rematch
is what the people want to
see.”
Organizers announced a crowd
of 56,214 at Melbourne’s Etihad
Stadium. The mark eclipsed the
55,724 fans who attended UFC 129
at Toronto’s Rogers Centre in 2011.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (84) gets past the
Browns defense after making a catch for a touchdown in the second quarter.
Steelers top Browns 30-9
By Will Graves
ASSOCIATED PRES
PITTSBURGH— Ben Roethlisberger
began the week on crutches.
He finished the weekend in
a familiar formation
NFL
against the Cleveland
Browns, taking a knee
and watching the
clock tick down to another Pittsburgh
Steelers victory.
Starting or off the bench.
Healthy or on one foot. Roethlisberger
against the Browns is
hardly a fair fight.
Stepping in after Landry Jones
went down with a left leg injury of
his own, Roethlisberger passed for
379 yards and three touchdowns
as the Steelers swarmed Johnny
Manziel and the struggling
Browns in a 30-9 romp on Sunday.
“Ben is Ben,” Pittsburgh wide
receiver Martavis Bryant said. “So
once he got in the game, he does
what No. 7 do.”
Roethlisberger hasn’t lost to the
Browns at home during his career,
even if this one got off to a more
unorthodox start than most. Roethlisberger
sprained his left foot
late in last weekend’s 38-35 win
over Oakland and barely practiced.
Still, coach Mike Tomlin saw
enough to make Roethlisberger
active behind Jones, who looked
solid in relief of Roethlisberger
last week.
Jones’ second career start
ended when his left ankle bent
awkwardly as the pocket collapsed
around him midway
through the first quarter. Roethlisberger
— wearing a specially
padded cleat to protect his bum
foot — entered to a roar of a capacity
crowd that included many
of his 2005 teammates on hand to
celebrate the 10th anniversary of
the franchise’s fifth Super Bowl.
Roethlisberger was still in his
NFL infancy back then. Now he’s
among the best in the game and
he takes particular delight in tormenting
the Browns, who could
have taken the Ohio native in the
2004 draft and instead opted for
tight end Kellen Winslow II.
If Roethlisberger’s foot was
bothering him, it hardly showed
as he improved to 19-2 against
Cleveland. Even with the Browns
doing a legitimately solid job
of shutting down running back
DeAngelo Williams and often
double-covering Antonio Brown,
the Steelers rolled. Brown caught
10 passes for 139 yards and two
scores and Roethlisberger’s
passing total set an NFL record
for the most by a player who
didn’t start, as Pittsburgh (6-4)
won its second straight heading
into its bye week.

PHILADELPHIA— Mark Sanchez
made the one mistake he
couldn’t afford.
Sanchez threw
an interception in
the end zone after
Sam Bradford was
injured and the Philadelphia Eagles
lost to the Miami Dolphins
20-19 on Sunday.
Sanchez drove the Eagles to the
Dolphins 8 with a chance to take a
lead on a field goal, but his pass to
Miles Austin was picked off by Reshad
Jones with just over four minutes
left. He got another chance
in the final minute, but his pass to
Jordan Matthews on fourth-and-10
only went for six yards.
“It’s my job to go in and it
should be seamless,” Sanchez
said. “You have to be ready to
go every week. When you have
a chance, you have to make the
most of it.”
Sanchez has been here before.
He replaced Nick Foles midway
through last season, led the Eagles
to a win in relief and then
went 4-4 as a starter.
But Sanchez has a tendency to
turn the ball over at the wrong
time and it happened again on second
down from the Dolphins 9.
“He had other options,” coach
Chip Kelly said of the interception.
Despite the loss, the Eagles (4-5)
are still in the mix in the NFC East.
It’s uncertain how long Bradford
will be out. Kelly had no update on
his status.
Bradford injured his left shoulder
and sustained a concussion on
a hard hit by Chris McCain in the
third quarter. X-rays on his shoulder
were negative.
Bradford was 19 of 25 for 236
yards and one TD before he left.
Ryan Tannehill threw a goahead
4-yard touchdown pass to
Jarvis Landry on Miami’s first
drive after Bradford got hurt. Tannehill
connected with Rishard
Matthews for 43 yards to the Eagles
8. He then tossed a TD pass to
Landry on a ball that was deflected
and sailed high in the air.
Caleb Sturgis made a 37-yard
field goal to get Philadelphia within
20-19, but he didn’t get a chance
to try another to beat his former
team. Sturgis missed from 32
yards in the first half.

Eagles lose QB, then
to Dolphins 20-19
NFL
“We didn’t do a good job putting
ourselves in situations where we
can be successful,” Kelly said.
The Eagles started fast for
change.
Bradford led them on touchdown
drives on their first two possessions
with a safety sandwiched
in between, giving Philadelphia
more points (16) in the first quarter
against the Dolphins than it
had in the first quarter of their first
eight games combined (10).
Bradford hit Brent Celek for a
60-yard gain on the first play from
scrimmage and scrambled away
from defenders to toss a 2-yard TD
pass to Josh Huff for the team’s first
TD on the opening drive this season.
After a major blunder by returner
Damien Williams on the kickoff
— he tried to bring it out from deep
in the end zone, fumbled, picked it
up at the 1 and went down — Walter
Thurmond sacked Tannehill
on a blitz and he fumbled out of the
end zone for a safety.
Ryan Mathews ran in from the 1
on to make it 16-3.
But the Eagles’ next drive ended
when Sturgis missed from 32
and Miami (4-5) scored 10 straight
points to get within 16-13.
