University Police
Officer Don Reed checks the
mug shot database, another electronic enhancement to the system. Together
with the digital fingerprinting, this allows police to determine within

Get the scoop when bad weather strikes
When severe weather
creates an emergency, University Park students and employees should tune
to WPSU-FM, the University's public radio station, for the official update
on activities on the campus. WPSU-FM -- 91.5 in State College, Bellefonte,
Lock Haven and surrounding areas; 90.1 in the northern counties -- also
is on the Web at http://www.wpsu.psu.edu.
For a list of WPSU station frequencies, go to http://www.wpsu.psu.edu/about.html.
The same official information also will be available at (814) 865-4000.
Employees are reminded that in the event of accumulating snow, day or
night and regardless of the amount, parking is prohibited in all faculty/staff
surface lots at University Park from midnight to 7 a.m when "Midnight
Clear" is announced. This restriction is necessary to clear lots for plowing
and scattering of anti-skid material.

The signature building is located atop a prominent outdoor staircase that leads up from College Avenue.

The two columns with lion heads
and benches that were at the former Atherton Street entrance to University
Park are being moved back to the intersection of Burrowes and Pollock
roads. The curved form the men are using is a copy of the benches so
the men can make the foundation the proper size.
