Penn State College Repubs split, student groups respond to press conference 

Student groups react to a press conference held by Penn State College Republican leader Brian Battaglia, which was held because of pictures posted on his website.

"The press conference held yesterday allowed student leaders to respond to pictures posted on College Republican chair Brian Battaglia's Web site, but it also led to responses from other students involved in organizations," reports the Penn State's Daily Collegian.

And some are forming their own Republican student group:

"Several students began forming a new Republican student group after they became disconcerted with the College Republicans in light of recent events," writes the Collegian in another story. "Controversial pictures posted on the Web site of College Republican chair Brian Battaglia have led Bryan McKinney (senior-health policy administration) and Nomi Deutch (junior-political science) to form the Penn State Young Republicans..."

Battaglia apologized at the press conference.

The Collegian has an editorial condemning the actions.

Students respond in the letters to the editor page.
