**Sandusky attorney to file to have charges dropped**

PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY — Jerry Sandusky’s attorney plans to ask next week to drop child sexual abuse charges against the former defensive coordinator, he said in a statement today.

Sandusky is charged with 52 counts of child sexual abuse involving boys he met through his charity, The Second Mile.

Joe Amendola’s statement comes after Senior Judge John Cleland denied his request for a more specific bill of particulars, or more information about the case, following a hearing on Monday in Centre County.

Amendola said in the statement that the motion will likely be filed in the form of a pre—trial omnibus motion.

The Commonwealth argued at Monday’s hearing that prosecutors will not be able to provide any more details the defense is asking for because many of the children do not remember exact dates and times of the offenses.

Jury selection for Sandusky’s trial is slated to begin May 14.

**Anti—nuclear groups protest San Onofre**

CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, Fullerton — Activists protested the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station on Sunday to mark the one—year anniversary of the nuclear meltdown in Fukushima, Japan, according to The Orange County Register.

About 200 people rallied in San Onofre State Beach near the plant to listen to several speakers, including two Japanese residents who lived through the Fukushima meltdown.

Several anti—nuclear energy organizations, such as Residents Organizing for Safe Environment, put on the event, and about 100 activists from San Diego were brought in by bus.

Many of the speakers were drawn just recently into the cause against nuclear energy after the Fukushima disaster. However, some have long been part of the movement.

Although local leaders and industry officials say that an incident like in Japan is unlikely at San Onofre, the activists are uncertain, pointing out the plant’s safety record.

Currently the San Onofre’s reactors are offline due to leaks and wear and tear to the generator tubes. Speakers at the event said they would like for the generators to remain off.

The rally took place a day after nearly 200 people met in remembrance for Japan at the San Clemente Community Center Saturday.

**Professor to host anti—bullying campaign**

WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY — When West Virginia University professor Daniel Brewster submitted his coming—out column, “Enough is Enough,” to The Daily Athenaeum in October detailing a public attack on his sexuality by a student, he had all intentions of ending his eight—year tenure at the school this May.

But, something made him stay.

“After my story printed in the paper, it was clear to me I had opened up this entire can of worms that wasn’t realized before,” Brewster said.

Now, Brewster is assembling a “Bullying Town Hall” event that will help members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community who are struggling with the same issues he has faced for his entire life.

“This will be a place where we can really define bullying — what constitutes it,” he said. “We want to raise awareness and construct reasonable solutions. Most don’t recognize the different forms of bullying. After I wrote my column, attention on me disappeared. I’m not hearing ‘fag’ and ‘queer’ being yelled as much. Instead, my friendships are being challenged. I can’t be friends with heterosexual males because I’m gay. It’s a new kind of bullying, and my friends are being bullied, too.”
