A Web site with anti-administration features such as "The [Vice President of Student Affairs] Vicky Triponey Timeline of Terror" and "The Top Ten People Hurting Penn State University" could soon have a registered student group counterpart.

The Web site, safeguardoldstate.org, was originally founded last spring under the name PSU Stop, short for Safeguarding Traditions of Penn State.

Tom Shakely, one of the active writers on the Safeguard Old State (SOS) blog, said the site's club counterpart would be called PSU Stop.

Shakely said the idea for a club based on the Web site was something its contributors had been considering for a while. The final decision came around the time of University Park Undergraduate Association (UPUA) elections, when Shakely said contributors decided they "need some sort of mechanism to be involved."

Shakely said it would focus on making changes by lobbying the administration and UPUA.

He said the club would "absolutely" focus on the same issues as the SOS Web site, since it would share most of the same membership.

Gavin Keirans, former UPUA presidential candidate who was elected PSU Stop president yesterday, said the club was necessary because UPUA "has really failed to make any changes of note happen." He said the goal of the club would be to stop the "stripping of students' rights by the administration" and increase awareness about such things within the student body.

Shakely said giving students one day for Paternoville, cutting the free law services formerly offered to students and giving students less control over the student activity fee are evidence that "student affairs will just continue to encroach." Though he couldn't speak definitely, since the group's membership has not been finalized, Shakely said the group's members would share similar opinions.

"It's pretty definite that we'd all agree that the ... problems facing Penn State students are being caused by one person, and that's Dr. Vicky Triponey," he said.

Triponey said she has no comment on PSU Stop or SOS.

Keirans said the club would hold rallies and information sessions to "spread knowledge."

"It's important that we inform the students in order to fight apathy," he said.

SOS, Shakely said, would be a place where the club's student members and Penn State alumni could participate in discussions about campus issues.

Shakely, who is also a member of the Off-Campus Student Union (OCSU), said he hopes PSU Stop would also focus on off-campus issues affecting students by sending a representative to State College Borough Council meetings as well.

One of the major stumbling blocks in PSU Stop's path to becoming an official club, Shakely said, was finding a faculty adviser. He said it was difficult to find an adviser because of the "combative nature" of the SOS Web site.

Mike Anderson, a former UPUA vice presidential candidate who has served as a faculty senator this past year, said he has offered his help to PSU Stop in finding an adviser because he "share[s] beliefs" with PSU Stop. He said he had several faculty members in mind, though he would not reveal their names.

Shakely said he plans to submit PSU Stop's registration forms later this week and hopes to have PSU Stop approved as an official group next week. He said he didn't expect any problems once the forms were submitted, even with the Web site's anti-administration attitude.

"I don't expect it, but I'd kind of maintain a healthy skepticism about it," he said. "That would be a huge First Amendment rights issue."

He said PSU Stop has scheduled its first meeting at 6 p.m. tomorrow on the ground floor of the HUB-Robeson Center.
