Gabe Clark, junior in chemical engineering, checks the serial number on his bike, which he's registering at a special tent set up for that purpose outside of Eisenhower Auditorium on the University Park campus. All bicycles on the campus must be registered either in downtown State College or on the campus at the tent, at kiosks in the visitor parking lots or at the University Police in the Eisenhower Parking Deck. For additional information about registration or other bicycle regulations, check the Web at http://www.transportation.psu.edu/.
