[naviga:h3]PSU OKs some alcohol at games[/naviga:h3]

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State’s board of trustees has approved allowing some fans to buy alcohol at the university’s football and basketball stadiums, as well as other athletic facilities.

The proposal passed nearly unanimously on Friday.

Sales would be limited to private and controlled areas, including suites and club seats. Beer and wine could be sold to all patrons of legal age at non-collegiate sports events. Officials say there would be limits on the number of drinks patrons can have.

The university would have to obtain a liquor license.

Trustee Betsy Huber opposed the move, telling the Philadelphia Inquirer it sends the wrong message to students, that adults need alcohol to enjoy themselves.

Some alcohol sale proceeds would go to student affairs for alcohol awareness.

[naviga:h3]Teacher uses chair to pin kindergartner[/naviga:h3]

PITTSBURGH — Police say a Pittsburgh teacher has been charged with shoving a kindergartner, pulling a chair out from underneath the girl and pinning her with it before throwing it down on the floor next to her.

A criminal complaint states the incident happened after two female students at Pittsburgh Faison K-5 had been arguing over a seat in late April. Video surveillance shows the student had pushed the teacher, Danielle Anderson, when Anderson confronted her.

Anderson faces charges including aggravated assault, unlawfully restraining a minor, and child endangerment.

Anderson’s attorney, Paul Ellis, said a warrant is out for her arrest and they are working with police. Police say Anderson, of Turtle Creek, has denied any wrongdoing.

The district says the teacher has been suspended.
