The State College Police Department and Penn State University Police said this year's Blue-White game and weekend events yielded an average number of violations compared to past years and fall football games.

University police reported a total of 31 Penn State students and one visitor cited in a total of 27 liquor law violations from Friday through Sunday, which Raymond Trexler, university police officer, said was "nothing out of the ordinary."

Trexler added that he thought the weekend's rainy weather played a role in the number of violations.

"If it would not have rained, I am sure that there would have been more people out partying," he said. "However, we always have our standard parties in places such as Lot 25 and the Stadium West lots."

University Police Supervisor Dwight Smith said he thought security at the game went well, but he added that there were "a few moments of tension" when a threat of lightning abruptly ended the game.

"The threat of lightning caused us to move people out of the stadium," he said. "We were thankful that lightning did not actually strike and no one was injured as a result of it."

State College police also reported 15 underage drinking citations for the weekend and seven DUIs.

State College Police Sgt. Mark Argiro said the number of violations reported this weekend was "run of the mill."

He added that the weather might have also played a role in the events.

"What we saw this weekend was nothing out of the ordinary," he said. "However, if the weather had been nicer, we probably would have been a lot busier because more people would have been here."

Argiro said additional officers patrolled Friday and Saturday nights as part of the Source Investigation Project, and as part of a roving DUI patrol through the Centre County Alcohol Task Force.

He added that some of the seven people cited for DUI violations were also cited for underage liquor law violations by task force officers.

Ferguson Township Police Department Detective and Task Force Coordinator John Conti did not return several phone messages left by The Daily Collegian yesterday.

Smith said that the Movin' On concert Saturday also contributed to the number of citations.

"We had increased security at the Movin' On concert, and there were also a few additional incidents at the event," he said.

One reported incident was a visitor who was treated at Mount Nittany Medical Center for an ankle injury incurred at the event.

Smith added that for next year's Blue-White game, university police might look to re-route outgoing traffic in order to alleviate traffic delays that occurred Saturday. "We examine the traffic situation every year, and with delays we saw this year, we may look to re-evaluate how we get people out of here after a game ends," he said.
