Vice President for Student Affairs, Vicky Triponey, held a closed meeting last night with representatives from Penn State University Police, Intercollegiate Athletics, the University Park Undergraduate Association (UPUA) and an undisclosed number of students to discuss the future of Paternoville.

UPUA Vice President, Mitch Witmer-Belding, said in an interview after the one and one-half hour long meeting that the new restriction that limits camping time at Paternoville was discussed, but no decision was reached.

"For bigger games...they want to be able to extend it," Witmer-Belding said.

"Before we talk about timelines, we've got to talk about setting structure for Paternoville to be run."

Jordan Cascino (sophomore-political science), who camped at Paternoville both this year and last year, also attended the meeting and said afterward that he wanted to start a student group that would work with the university to coordinate the campsite.

"The university is within their rights to believe there are safety concerns regarding Paternoville," Cascino said.

"Once somebody gets hurt, Paternoville is over. I'm trying to get students to rally to work with the university."

The Daily Collegian requested to sit in on the meeting, but Triponey refused. In interviews after the meeting, participants were reluctant to discuss specific details.

"We talked about concerns," Triponey said.

"We're going to go digest and figure out what we might do different or keep the same."

Greg Myford, Penn State's associate athletic director for marketing and communications, echoed Triponey, saying, "no firm decisions were made."

"I thought it was very productive," Myford said. "Paternoville is very valuable to Penn State."

Triponey said the group would hold another meeting before Penn State's game against Temple on Nov. 11.
