A student group attracted protests this week after decorating a HUB window with a quote from a Jewish holy book and now a policy change could be in the works.

The protests occurred when Penn State Students for Life decorated a window on the ground floor of the HUB Tuesday with a quote from the Talmud, a Jewish holy book. That night a group of students covered the quote, which reads, "He who saves one life saves the world entire," with protest fliers.

Stan Latta, director of the Office of Student Life, said some form of screening could be started to view HUB window ideas before they are actually painted, but added, "We have not instituted any policy at this point in time."

The main obstacle with a screening policy would be choosing who would judge what is appropriate and what is considered offensive, Latta said.

Wednesday, two Students for Life officers and officials from the Office of Student Life met to discuss the window.

"I think everything's resolved there," said Sharon Mortensen, assistant director of student life.

Andrew McMullin, treasurer of Students for Life, said during the meeting the possibility was raised that student groups may need to submit a proposal before decorating the HUB windows. The proposal could take the form of either a description of the window or a rough sketch.

"I don't think it's necessary," said McMullin, adding that during the meeting he thought his group was personally blamed for the protest.

Rabbi David Sudaley, director of Penn State Hillel, said he thinks screening is a good idea. But the important issue is who would judge what is allowed to be painted on the windows, he said.

He said different issues are meaningful to different people and is not sure if the quote would have been caught by a screening.

"In theory it's a very good idea," Sudaley said.

McMullin said that when he went to the HUB to meet with the directors of student life, protest fliers still covered the window he had helped paint. He took the fliers down, but was later told by the directors, whom he could not identify, that he should not have removed them.

"They actually turned around and said, 'Next time, don't take them down without telling us,' " he said.

Latta said the main point made during the meeting was that Students for Life members should have researched the quote more thoroughly, and that the students who complained about the use of the quote should try to understand the pro-life group's point of view. He said he has not ruled out the possibility of screening.

But Katherine Watt, president of Students for Life, said, "I would highly doubt (screening) would be a good idea."

Watt said because of the liberal atmosphere at the University, it is possible conservative groups like Students for Life would be discriminated against.
