Miller added that Cangelosi needed signatures from an Old Main staff assistant, Penn State University Police and Environmental Health and Safety.
The event was tentatively set for Oct. 26 but was postponed to allow more time for organization.
Now, with the date and place confirmed, Cangelosi said she and other senators will begin advertising the event through fliers and asking student organizations and state representatives to take part in the event.
The idea of "Extend the Freeze to University Park" spurred from Penn State President Graham Spanier's proposal to freeze tuition at 20 of the Penn State campuses while still raising the University Park tuition 5.9 percent, pending next year's state appropriations.
Cangelosi said she hopes to send the message that "University Park students are concerned with the rising cost of tuition, and it's not students at Commonwealth Campuses that are struggling with the burden of tuition."
Cangelosi said she is not expecting the administration to freeze tuition at University Park and would be really surprised if it did.
"I don't have that much faith in them," she said.
Instead, Cangelosi said she wants the concerns raised at the rally to be something that the Board of Trustees and the administration will consider when they are deciding to raise tuition.
USG President and Board of Trustees member Galen Foulke said that "there were a lot of glaring misconceptions" of the budget that were cleared up after Kyle Metzgar, USG executive governmental relations chair, discussed the budget with senators. Foulke said this allowed enough research for Senate to hold the rally.
Foulke said he would like to speak at the event to "highlight the need for more state support through appropriations for the university."
West Halls Sen. Leigh Silkunas said two weeks ago that she did not feel the rally was organized well enough to be held, but she has changed her mind since it was postponed.
"I'm glad that we [postponed] it because we needed to secure some details to make sure it's as effective as possible," said Silkunas, who added that she will come out to support the rally.
Brock Coleman, South Halls senator and internal affairs committee chair, said that he supports the rally and that he plans to attend the event on Wednesday.
Coleman said most people focus on how much money University Park receives from the state.
"But it's obviously just as important that we think about what we can do here as well to control tuition," he said.
Coleman said the message he hopes to send at the rally is that students care about this issue, and instead of looking at Harrisburg for more money, the university should take another look at the budget to find a way to keep tuition from increasing.
