PAGE 2 | MONDAY, NOV. 16, 2015 Today High 61 GO FIGURE Tonight Low 36 Tomorrow High 53, Low 41 WEATHER LOCAL Wednesday High 56, Low 53 Extended forecast campusweatherservice.com Courtesy of Campus Weather Camille Stefani/Collegian Nyomi Warren performs her juvenile piece during the Penn State Figure Skating Club’s showcase at Pegula Ice Arena on Monday, Nov. 15 in preperation for the Cornell Competition. Attack FROM Page 1. 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 By Sarah Vasile 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.

Steven Senne/Associated Press A man places a candle at a makeshift memorial in Boston for those killed 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. To email reporter: sev5109@psu.edu.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN 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.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN LOCAL 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. To email reporter: tja5227@psu.edu. Follow him on Twitter at @TylerArnold18. MONDAY, NOV. 16, 2015 | PAGE 3 Firstname Lastname/Organization 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.” To read full story, visit collegian.psu.edu. She’s a legend...like the headless horseman.
