THE STUDENT VOICE OF COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY SINCE 1891

Do you know how to learn math?

STATE OF THE UNION

Paul Nolting discusses how to achieve success By ALEX STEINMETZ The Rocky Mountain Collegian A professor walks in and says, “Math test today, good luck!” Cue the fear. For some students, testing in general creates a level of unease. Math testing on the other hand can cause a level of panic that leads to inability to pass the class. On Tuesday, Learning Specialist Paul Nolting visited Colorado State University to discuss strategies for everyone to be able to facilitate learning in order to achieve success. There were workshops throughout the day for professors, students and tutors. Nolting began to work on ways to maximize learning while finishing his doctoral degree. “I wrote my Ph.D. dissertation in 1987 on helping students who had failed algebra one to five times. I was the first person to do the research on helping those students,” Nolting said. Nolting went on to write a few books and became a nationally recognized speaker. He has traveled throughout the world discussing success strategies. “I never planned to write books or do any of this. I was

Catholics observe Ash Wednesday

By TAYLOR PETTAWAY The Rocky Mountain Collegian As CSU’s newest student organization, Fair Trade University is looking to bring change to not only the CSU community, but to groups all over the world. The club’s president and founder Lindsey Earl hopes she and fellow members can organize projects around campus to help CSU students become more informed about fair trade and about the products they buy. “It is important in a capitalist society that people buy things, but they don’t always know where those things come from,” Earl said. “If it’s made unethically then you are supporting that. By looking at chocolate and coffee, people don’t look at how it is made, and it is usually made from slave labor and that isn’t good.” “It’s like voting,” Earl said. “I would rather put my money towards something made ethically.” According to the World Fair

It is basically ethical consumption.” The group is planning

LENT

Millions of people today will don blessed ashen crosses on their foreheads. The symbol marks the beginning of Lent, the Christian observance of the 40 days Jesus Christ spent secluded in the desert where he consumed no food or water and denied Satan’s temptations, as taught in Christianity. Easter is always 46 days after Ash Wednesday. Lent is the season leading up to the holiest week and holiday in Christianity — Easter — which also focuses on the sacrifices of Christ during his life, death and resurrection. Traditional observances change between denomi-

nations and some don’t observe Lent as a season in their liturgical calendars, but most major American denominations do observe. Typically, individuals give up a vice or pleasure that is personal to them for the entirety of the 40 days. See LENT on Page 5

Looking closer at the library Gallery displays art from alumni, students, professors By Mariah Wenzel The Rocky Mountain Collegian Reptilian eyes stare at students waiting in line for morning coffee at Morgan’s Grind. They are paired with neutral watercolors depicting classical Indian musicians. It is an unlikely pair, but not when hanging on the walls. The most recent display at the First National Bank Gallery in Morgan Library includes these and other works by deceased artist and CSU alumni Philip E. Sims, and mathematics doctorate candidate Nand Sharma. Sims’ art reflects his veterinary work with reptiles and, to an extent, his love for dinosaurs. The colors are vibrant and the extreme close-ups of predatory eyes provide an unusual visual variety. Sharma’s work is quite different. His sultry watercolors are influenced by Indian culture and music, a little piece of his homeland

in India. “I kind of had an idea of what I want to capture, which is something of an essence of the [classical Indian] music,” Sharma said. According to Sharma, his art is an expression of his love of music and the subject matter connects him back to home. “These paintings, in my opinion, present an opportunity to the international community to know more about another culture,” Sharma said. Jane Barber, assistant director of communications and development, as well as freshman art major Marcus Stevenson, are coordinators for the gallery. It has been tucked in the corner to the right of the front entrance since 1997. According to Barber, the displays change three to four times per year. Artists featured in the gallery are always connected to CSU in some way and have included students, alumni and pro-

fessors. Beginning Feb. 28, the displays will consist of art exclusively by CSU freshmen. The students are part of the Arts and Creative Expressions community at CSU. It is a relatively new organization and the first students to have their work displayed as a group in the First National Bank Gallery. Stevenson has spent about a month working on curating this project, even creating his own submissions for the showing. Although an artist himself, the curation job is a fairly new experience for Stevenson. “It requires a lot of planning and organization you don’t think of,” Stevenson said. Stevenson also hopes to encourage interest in student art. “Ideally, I would like more students to gain interest in what art students are doing,” Stevenson said.

With renovations on the library finally complete, students can expect even bigger and better things from the First National Bank Gallery. The space has a new capacity to show work, giving students the chance to be-

come more involved in the process along the way. “We definitely want to have more art in the library,” Barber said. “We have a lot of wall space.” Collegian writer Mariah Wenzel can be reached at news@collegian.com.

L.A.P.D. Deputies shot in hunt for fugitive suspect Dorner LOS ANGELES—Fugitive former police officer Christopher Dorner allegedly shot and wounded at least two San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies during a shootout with authorities in the Big Bear, Calif., area Tuesday afternoon, sources said. Dozens of law enforcement officers were racing to the last reported scene of a gun battle near the 7 Oaks Road cabin area near Big Bear. “There are deputies everywhere on the ground and on foot,” said Cindy Bachman, a San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman. The shooting occurred after Dorner burglarized a home, tied up a couple and stole a white pickup truck, sources said. San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman Jodi Miller confirmed deputies responded to a vehicle theft about 12:20 p.m. PST, and the resident who reported the theft said the suspect matched Dorner’s description. The U.S. Forest Service confirms there was an exchange of gunfire between officers on foot and the suspect, in the Santa Ana River drainage, north of State Highway 38 and south of Big Bear Valley. At least one officer of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife was involved, said John Miller, San Bernardino National Forest spokesman. That officer is not believed to be injured. Dorner’s status was not immediately known as the gunfight continued. Officers have crisscrossed California for days pursuing the more than 1,000 tips that poured in about Dorner’s possible whereabouts — including efforts in Tijuana, Mexico, San Diego County and Big Bear — and serving warrants at homes in Las Vegas and San Diego’s Point Loma. Statewide alerts were issued in California and Nevada, and border authorities were alerted. The Transportation Security Administration also had issued an alert urg-

“By putting [the art] here, I would like to increase interest in the community as a whole.” Stevenson and Barber will host the opening reception for the exhibit Feb. 28 from 4 to 6 p.m. The event is free and open to all.

ing pilots and other aircraft operators to keep an eye out for Dorner. The search turned to Big Bear last week after Dorner’s burning truck was found on a local forest road. At the search’s height, more than 200 officers scoured the mountain, conducting cabin-by-cabin checks. It was scaled back Sunday — about 30 officers were out in the field Tuesday, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said. Dorner allegedly threatened “unconventional and asymmetrical warfare” against police in a lengthy manifesto that authorities say he posted on Facebook. The posting named dozens of potential targets, including police officers, whom Dorner allegedly threatened to attack, according to authorities. Records state that the manifesto was discovered by authorities Wednesday, three days after the slaying of a couple in Irvine, Calif.: Monica Quan, a California State University, Fullerton, assistant basketball coach, and her fiance, Keith Lawrence, a public safety officer at the University of Southern California. Quan was the daughter of a retired LAPD captain whom Dorner allegedly blamed in part for his firing from the force in 2009. Federal documents also provide new details on Dorner’s alleged attack against officers early Thursday in Riverside County. The first shooting was in Corona after an eyewitness reported a person matching Dorner’s description at a gas station, telling an LAPD officer “who was detailed to the area to protect one of the officials whom Dorner had threatened,” according to the court records. “When the officer drove by the gas station, the suspect exited his vehicle and fired an assault rifle at the officer, hitting the officer’s vehicle,” according to the court records. The LAPD later said the officer received a grazing wound. About 30 minutes later, Dorner opened fire on Riverside police officers “who were in the area searching

for Dorner,” the documents said. On that detail, the account conflicts with a statement provided to the media by Riverside police officials, who said the officers were stopped at a red light and were not looking for Dorner. Riverside Officer Michael Crain, 34, a married father of two who served two tours in Kuwait as a rifleman in the Marines, was killed in the attack. His partner remains hospitalized, Police Chief Sergio Diaz said, and it was unclear if he would be able to return to active duty. Dorner was charged Monday with one count of murder, with special-circumstance allegations in the killing of a peace officer and the discharge of a firearm from a vehicle, in connection with Crain’s death. He faces three additional charges of attempted murder. Riverside District Attorney Paul Zellerbach said because of the special-circumstance allegations, Dorner could be eligible for the death penalty if convicted.

I’m uneasy about the Fed’s quantitative easing Last September the Federal Reserve made a commitment to encourage economic growth and reduce unemployment by implementing indefinite quantitative easing. Since then, the economy shrank for the first time in three-and-a-half years, unemployment has increased and the dollar in your pocket isn’t worth what it was yesterday. The Federal Reserve is the central By kevin r. jensen bank of the United States, but, despite its name, it is a private bank whose monetary policy decisions don’t have to be approved by the president, Congress or anybody else in government. The chairman of the Fed is appointed by the president and is approved by the Senate, but that is where influence from the government ceases with the exception of occasional hearings; a system designed to free the Fed’s monetary policy from politics. Charged by the 1913 Federal Reserve Act with maintaining price stability and reaching full employment, the Fed tries to accomplish its mission through the implementation of a number of policy tools, including open market operations and manipulating the federal funds rate and the discount rate. The federal funds rate is the rate at which member banks can borrow money from each other to replenish their reserves; the discount rate is the rate at which the Fed charges banks for loans made directly to them — which is usually pretty close to the federal funds rate. Both rates have significant impacts on the economy, as they feed through to other rates. Lower rates are good for the economy. It makes it less expensive for banks to borrow from each other and from the Fed, incentivising banks to borrow and then lend at lower rates; helping businesses expand. As the American economy still licks its wounds from the most recent recession, the Fed would like to reduce rates, unfortunately rates are already below 1 percent and can’t go much lower than that. What do you do to stimulate the economy when rates are already near zero? Say hello to Quantitative Easing (QE) 1 and 2 , where the Fed bought more than $2 trillion in Treasury bonds to lower long-term rates and boost the economy — with little effect — which in turn inspired the newest round of Fed buying, QE3. QE3 — and now QE3b or QE4 — along with keeping rates near zero, is an open-ended mortgage-backed security purchasing program to the tune of $85 billion a month, which Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has vowed would continue indefinitely until employment improved. They spent a couple trillion for QE1 and QE2 and now they’re purchasing $85 billion a month of bad mortgage debt for forever? Where does the Fed come up with that kind of money? They just print it out. Or, technically speaking, they ask the U.S. Treasury to print out more money and purchase it for cents on the dollar. The Fed has sole authority over the printing of America’s currency. This is how the majority of the Fed’s revenue is created, through seniorage — the amount of additional wealth created by printing more currency. With this newly printed cash they then conduct their open market operations, lowering rates and boosting the economy. The only downside is that inflation occurs with every increase in the money supply, increasing the cost of living for everybody while reducing the purchasing power of your dollars. The Fed’s activities are great for business. Corporate profits are the largest in history while workers’ wages are at their all-time lowest share of GDP, CNN reports. As more cash is created without any added value to the economy, there’s more money available but it’s all worth less; the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer, never the wiser. As the economy remains stagnant, some are beginning to urge the Fed to do even more, though with the unprecedented buying by the Fed, it’s astounding that inflation isn’t a massive problem today — but it won’t always stay that way. Each dollar the Fed prints is worth less than the last. Bernanke says keep the money coming, though, and there’s nothing you as a citizen can do to stop him. All the while the economy barely improves, savers are hurt by low rates and the purchasing power of the dollar in your pocket diminishes every day. So thanks, Fed, from all of us — thanks a billion! (It used to be a million, but ... you know, inflation.) Content Managing Editor Kevin R. Jensen is a senior English major. His column appears Wednesdays in the Collegian.

Obama’s ten cents

The president’s first State of the Union post reelection is his best opportunity to try to champion and push through legislation on issues he’d like to have solved during his last term. Obama was quite ambitious in his address last night, laying out his vision for everything from gun control to immigration. As Obama spoke, it was evident that some of his more partisan proposals weren’t met with resounding approval from every representative, bringing to the forefront once again the divide in our anemic government. This isn’t a bad thing, necessarily. Our divisive and combative system will hopefully take Obama’s proposals and with accommodation from both sides,

will compromise into legislation that is better thought out and more agreeable to all parties —

“While we will reap the benefits of these investments, it is our generation that will also ultimately be paying the price tag.” and there really is so much to be done. Obama highlighted the essentiality of investing in education, clean energy, infrastructure and a number of other entitle-

ment programs, underscoring the importance of spending and investing today to build a better future tomorrow. While we will reap the benefits of these investments, it is our generation that will also ultimately be paying the price tag. So as Obama seeks to accomplish his high minded goals while already faced with a large deficit, titanic debt and a sluggish economy, he must do so with balanced proposals that don’t increase spending even by a dime — as he vowed during his address. Good luck, Mr. President, during your final term in the White House. We’ll be anticipating great things these next four years, and we’ll be closely watching our dimes.

Social networking: Someone’s stalking you

By Brittany jordan

Being that 96 percent of college students are active Facebook users, it should come as no surprise that at least one argument in class would ensue from the social media site. However, this week the topic of the argument

surprised me. The question that was proposed went something like this: should employers be allowed to view their employees’/potential employees’ Facebook page? Immediately I blurted out an emphatic “yes!” which was apparently the wrong answer. Death glares were shot in my direction from all across the room and I was sitting there puzzled. The first guy to raise his hand stated that it was a blatant violation of privacy, which I can refute pretty simply: social media’s purpose is to make your private life go public. If you want complete privacy in life, you shouldn’t be on Facebook. And there are privacy settings provided for you so that you can block just about everything except your profile picture. Another girl stated that she was uncomfortable with her boss creeping on her page, because her work life and private life are separate. However, I would argue that there is no such thing as complete separation when it comes

to your work life. Your “private life” the night before will inevitably affect your performance the next morning and your boss has a right to know how their company is being represented through your actions. If your Facebook states where you work and what position you hold, you are representing that workplace at all times, not just when you clock out. Possibly the most valid concern was stated this way: “I don’t feel that my Facebook page is indicative of myself as a person, so it shouldn’t be used to judge me, right?” Wrong. According to a study published by the Association for Psychological Science in 2010, your Facebook profile is a reflection of yourself as a person and not just the ideal self you want to portray. Given that it is an accurate reflection of yourself, your employer should be able to go online and see what they’re getting themselves into. The bottom line is that you are being judged based on what you put on Facebook. 70 percent of Facebook users report “lurking,” so yes, you’re being stalked. So why should the person that gives you money be the only person that is not allowed to see that information? I have worked my way up in my job to the point that my boss never fails to ask for my opinion when it comes to hiring someone new. What’s the first thing I do? Look them up on Facebook. And if I see that every other picture posted is of this potential employee in someone’s dingy basement sporting

beer blush and a plastic cup, I am not going to give glowing reviews to my boss. Because based on the 10 minutes I spent looking at their page, I can infer that they are less responsible and more likely to show up to work hungover than a non-partying candidate. Whether or not such inferences are justified, that is what is being portrayed. I have to wonder what the people opposed to employers having access to their Facebook page are putting on there that is so awful. If you don’t have anything on a social media site that one could draw false implications from, then it shouldn’t be an issue. When it comes to the hiring process, employers are taking a huge leap of faith and hoping for the best. They should be able to go to any and all lengths necessary to ensure that you are the best candidate for the job and that includes your Facebook page. If you really are the best candidate, then your Facebook page shouldn’t change anything. If you’re not, then it’s letting your employer know up front. Given that Facebook is as popular as it is, 90 percent of employers are using it as a tool to keep track of their employees and how their company is being represented. Don’t like it? Don’t be on Facebook. Brittany Jordan is a junior psychology major. He column appears every Thursday in the Collegian. Letters and feedback can be sent to letters@collegian.com.

be pulled into these things,” Kent said. “But with fair trade there are alternatives that can have implications for people in the U.S.” Offering fair trade in an intellectual setting, like a college campus, is important for students, said Fair Trade University Advisor Versha Anderson. “I think once the organization has developed a good group of members and educated the campus on fair trade issues, they will be better equipped to begin to implement change through awareness and education on the campus,” Anderson said.

“I believe offering fair trade options is important to better make students aware of different social issues beyond their university,” Anderson said. “And to make them think more about the global impacts of their everyday purchases.” According to Earl, this club will have more of an impact for developing countries because of the large impact CSU’s community would make by giving money to companies that help fair trade workers, ultimately helping to develop the country. In the future, Earl hopes

that the club continues to grow and educate students about fair trade, even after she graduates. “I am excited to make a difference,” Earl said. “I want (Fair Trade University) members to know that their time at CSU was used doing and not just learning. We learn (in class) theories on how to make a change, and now we turn that theory into action, and I like knowing that I changed things and made a positive impact.” Collegian Writer Taylor Pettaway can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Fasting and reflection for 40-day period

Continued from Page 1 “For Lent, I’m giving up TV and Facebook,” said Jake Leins, a junior civil engineering major. Additional rules apply. Observers are discouraged from eating meat on Fridays. Catholic schools serve nonmeat meals during the week, except for Friday when they serve fish. Some people take the fasting rules further into the older traditions of certain churches and denominations of Christianity.

“Meat, dairy, wine and oil, which is more akin to Orthodox giving that up, praying the Psalms throughout the day,” said John Leyendecker, the team director of CSU’s Fellowship of Catholic University Students. Such strict fasting is why Fat Tuesday was established, which serves as a last day to be gluttonous before the season of fasting. Hundreds of years ago, more extreme fasting practices were common, along with abstinence even for married couples.

But now, only some do heavy fasting. “I’ve decided I’m going to do bread and water fasts, so only eat bread and water on Fridays,” Leins said. According to those interviewed, these practices meant to convey the message that Lent is traditionally supposed to send –– that the Christian tradition is a time of self-reflection, self-denial and a time to ponder one’s sins. “It’s a way to bond with my family and friends who

share the same religion as me,” said Jordan Cruz, a junior health and exercise science major. It can also be a season of being with loved ones while waiting for Easter. But sometimes, it’s harder than expected to give up certain vices during Lent. “Hardest thing –– I gave up coffee one year,” Leyendecker said. “I’ll probably never do that again,” Collegian Writer Matt Gabriel can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Dr. Paul Nolting speaks to a group of tutors in the TILT building Tuesday morning.

Graduate school as a career asset The worth of a postgraduate degree

DYLAN LANGILLE | COLLEGIAN

Strategies for taking math tests LEARN |

By MATT GABRIEL The Rocky Mountain Collegian Graduate students know all too well the tradeoff of obtaining their advanced degree –– more opportunities, but less short term savings. Some post-graduate degrees at CSU can cost nearly $7,000 a semester for residents. “I had worked for about 20 years, and so I took a substantial pay cut to go back and get my Ph.D.,” said Kirk Hallahan, chair of the graduate committee of the journalism and technical communications department. The supposed correlation between a person’s level of education and the amount of money they earn, however, generally holds true, especially in a workforce that is gradually requiring more certifications and degrees just to apply for a job. “There is an increasing number of fields where having a graduate degree is a requirement,” Hallahan said. Some graduate students come back to school because they weren’t able to break into the career field of their choice. “I took a couple-year break, I went out and worked and just did random jobs for a few years

before I came back.” Annie Barone, a first year history graduate student. “I wasn’t in a career that I wanted, so I thought I’d come back to school to get back in a track I was interested in.” While a graduate degree isn’t a guarantee of a job upon graduation, many graduate students interviewed reported going on to have success, sometimes right after receiving their post-graduate degree. “When I got done with graduate school I was able to find a job within six weeks, in my field,” Hallahan said. Students interviewed

suggested only attending graduate school as part of a path, treating it as something you do when you have a clear vision of your future career goals. “I think students should attend graduate school when they really know what they want to do ,” said Jodie Hanzlik, dean of CSU’s graduate school. “I don’t think it should be a ‘something to do time’ in your life, because it is very expensive and graduate school is a challenge. It’s great but you have to be motivated.” Collegian Writer Matt Gabriel can be reached at news@collegian.com.

asked to,” Nolting said. Nolting spent the day explaining to CSU students that the strategies that have been used in the past aren’t going to be as useful in the future. “Most of us take math tests like we do in elementary and middle school. We get the test, put our names on it and take the test. That’s not how we should be taking the test. Before putting our name on the test, we need to write down the formulas,” Nolting said. He explained the best ways for professors to facilitate their teaching, strategies to use when teaching and ways to help students analyze their tests. According to Nolting, the first question on his tests is “memory data dump.” It gives the student a place to put down all of their formulas, information and thoughts on the paper prior to the test itself. As the student takes the test, they have the ability to look back at the formulas and catch any mistakes. According to Katie Williams, senior social work and Resources for Disabled Students intern, Nolting was very beneficial for the professors, and some of them plan to implement his strategies into their teaching. “I went to the professor session this morning. It seems really good because the professors can change how they teach. They can adjust it so it helps everyone, students with and without

disabilities,” Williams said. In addition, Nolting explained the importance of the tutors. He said that, more than anything, the tutors are “academic coaches” and that once they understand the best way to facilitate the information, everyone will be successful. “The cheerleaders are good, but the coaches will yell at you and tell you how to do it to get better,” Nolting said. During a keynote speech to an audience of about 30 people, Nolting explained that the breakdown of the percentages surrounding success in math courses shows that the majority is based on a careful selection of the course that the student takes. “About 25 percent of your math grade is based on how you study, study skills and how you cope with anxiety. 25 percent is the quality of the instructor and the other 50 percent is if you are in the right math class,” Nolting said. Nolting explained a number of tips for dealing with anxiety, test taking, studying and teaching. He said that if there is a drive, there will be the intended result. “You’re only persistent if you think you can change,” Nolting said. Nolting’s book “Winning Math” provides information and strategies for everyone and is available for purchase in the Lory Student Center Bookstore.

Kelsey Maez, a senior political science major and president of College Democrats at CSU, said she thought it was a great speech by Obama, overall. “It was exactly what a State of the Union Address should be, an overall look at the next year as well as the next four years,” Maez said. “I think he was aggressive and followed the general

policy theme that you heard in the inauguration speech,” said John Straayer, a political science professor at CSU. At the beginning of the speech President Obama spoke about keeping promises. “Our government shouldn’t make promises we cannot keep, but we should keep the promises we have already made,” Obama said. Straayer said that what struck him as odd was that Obama made references to how Medicare and Medicaid are eating up the budget and urged republicans to get

address, Obama laid out plans in four main areas manufacturing, education, clean energy and infrastructure to try to help the nation recover from the worst recession in decades at what he said would be no additional cost. "A growing economy that creates good, middle-class jobs that must be the North Star that guides our efforts," Obama said. "Every day, we should ask ourselves three questions as a nation: How do we attract more jobs to our shores? How do we equip our people with the skills they need to get those jobs? And how do we make sure that hard work leads to a decent living?"

Obama described a nation that has made progress, ending long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq while clearing away "the rubble" of the Great Recession, but one that still needs additional help to prosper. He declared that the state of the union is stronger, but not strong. "It is our generation's task, then, to reignite the true engine of America's economic growth a rising, thriving middle class," he said. "It is our unfinished task to restore the basic bargain that built this country the idea that if you work hard and meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead, no matter where you come from, no matter what you look like, or who you love. It is our unfinished task to

to keep education affordable. President Obama spoke of a “college scorecard” that will be released today, which provides an easy way for families to compare colleges on a simple basis, “where you can get the most bang for your educational buck.” “CSU is really going to benefit from the scorecard and the parents and students sitting down and looking at that,” Maez said. “CSU is affordable with top notch professors and one of the best science pro-

grams in the nation,” she continued. “Students will see what a great education they can get for a low cost.” Straayer said he feels that campaigning for higher education is good, but more federal controls are problematic. “(Obama’s) talking a lot about imposing standards that have been imposed on K through 12 schools and putting a stamp on the cost of higher education,” Straayer said. “I appreciate the President’s call to bring knowledge appropriate for a high

tech world into high schools, as well as addressing the needs of employers in the creation of a curriculum,” Vaughn said. Obama also addressed immigration, rebuilding American towns that have been hit with disaster, concluding the war in Afghanistan, helping countries in poverty around the world and gun control.

He proposed raising the minimum wage from $7.25 to $9 an hour. He recommended spending $65 billion on road, bridge and building repairs. He unveiled a plan to save eligible homeowners $3,000 annually by refinancing at lower interest rates. Obama starts his second term with a stubbornly high unemployment rate higher for women and blacks than when he first took office falling consumer confidence and a mounting deficit as he

faces often uncooperative lawmakers on Capitol Hill. He insisted that Democrats and Republicans put aside their differences and take action, mostly immediately to find an alternative to looming across-the-board budget cuts that could harm the economy in weeks. "The American people don't expect government to solve every problem," he said. "They don't expect those of us in this chamber to agree on every issue. But they do expect us to put the nation's interests before party. They do expect us to forge reasonable compromise where we can." Obama spoke about other issues Tuesday including rewriting the nation's immigration laws and combating climate change

but mostly in the context of the economy. There were a few exceptions: Obama pressed for the most aggressive gun-control plan in generations. In the most emotional moment of the speech, he delivered an impassioned call for a vote on gun control bills by listing the "communities ripped open by gun violence" from Aurora, Colo., to Newtown, Conn. As he spoke, cameras cut to people in the visitors' galleries, some crying, some holding up photos of people presumably slain in mass shootings. "They deserve a simple vote," he said. The room erupted in sustained applause. Obama announced that he will form a nonpartisan

commission to study changes in the voting system after Americans endured long lines and administrative problems at the polls by singling out 102-year-old Desiline Victor, a North Miami woman who waited six hours in line to vote in November. He said that by this time next year more than half the U.S. troops in Afghanistan 34,000 will have returned home as the Afghans take responsibility for security. He condemned North Korea for conducting its third nuclear test hours earlier, warning that it undermines regional stability, violates North Korea's United Nations obligations and increases the risk of proliferation. He called for a reduction in nuclear weapons worldwide.

No. 22 SDSU visits for Moby’s first ranked matchup

Continued from Page 10 a highly competitive conference race in the Mountain West. The game will be the first time Moby has ever hosted a matchup of ranked teams in its history, according to a news release from Danny Mattie, assistant director of media relations for CSU athletics. “The biggest thing is just staying as a team, we’ve just gotta be together, no one can’t be doing anything they don’t normally do,” sophomore guard Daniel Bejarano said. “So as long as we keep playing our game, we’ll beat

every team and we’ll be conference champions, but it’s gonna take one night at a time, one play at a time.” The last time CSU faced off against San Diego State, the Aztecs won in a tightly-contested 79-72 overtime game in the Viejas Arena on Jan. 12. This time, the Rams are riding a five-game winning streak going into the game and are in second place in the MW, with San Diego State right behind them by a half game. “We know the challenge facing us heading into Fort Collins, they beat us in there

last year and hopefully we can come in (and) play better,” San Diego State coach Steve Fisher said. “They now have a wonderful home atmosphere and a great home win streak so it’s gonna be tough.” Toughness is something the Rams have focused on throughout the season as the Rams lead the nation in rebounds per game (42.4) and rebound margin (13.8), and are ranked No. 18 in the country in terms of field goal percentage defense (38.0). “Tomorrow night the tougher team’s gonna win that’s the bottom line,” CSU coach Larry Eustachy said

on Tuesday. “And toughness involves a lot of things: being able to put thought into it, not letting an atmosphere affect you one way or the other. A lot of things, it isn’t punching somebody like someone thinks of what toughness is, that’s the easy way out, the hard part is executing against a top-25 team.” CSU will get one of its physical leaders back for the game tonight as senior forward and second-leading rebounder on the team Pierce Hornung will be available to start.

Team looking to nationals with win

Continued from Page 10 physical play began early, five different players sat in the penalty box during the first 20 minutes of play. The second period was a shootout that witnessed five goals, giving CSU the 4-3 edge going into the final period of play. “We started off the third kind of slow, we knew we were better than this,” CSU

captain Paul Jenkins said. “After yelling at the team for a second, I pulled my linemen aside and told them that it was on us, this was our job.” Jenkins then took matters into his own hands, shooting out to the left wing on a CSU break and firing a shot into the top right corner of the CU goal, putting the Rams up 5-3 with 10:15 left in regulation.

“When we put that in, you could just see them sink. They got rammed over,” Jenkins said. Junior forward Erik Waring would shortly follow with a goal of his own that led to the fight that had the thousands of people in attendance on their feet screaming. By the end of regulation ten goals were tallied, as well as 14 penalties and two ejec-

tions that each led to one game suspensions. “This is the first time we’ve swept CU in four or five years, so it feels good to get it done for all of us seniors,” Stolzberg said. “We have to keep this energy and emotion rolling all the way to nationals.” Club Sports Beat Reporter Quentin Sickafoose can be reached at sports@collegian. com.

stomach ailment in the Rams’ last victory over Nevada last week which limited him to just three minutes of action. The physical presence of Hornung, particularly on defense, will be a large factor in how the Rams play tonight.

San Diego State boasts one of the best backcourts in the country with Jamaal Franklin and Chase Tapley, who average 17.5 and 13.6 points per game this year, respectively. “They can really get to the basket and make plays and get you to foul them,” Hornung said. “And they’ve got a bunch of shooters and they’re a solid overall team, they’ve got some depth so it’s a tough team to match up with for anybody.” Assistant Sports Editor Andrew Schaller can be reached at sports@collegian. com.

Head Coach, Larry Eustachy, talks to Dorian Green (22), during the men’s basketball game against Wyoming in Moby Arena on Feb. 2. The Rams will play San Diego State tonight which marks the ﬁrst match between ranked teams in Moby Arena history.

CSU is looking to redeem itself against San Diego State after a comeback cut short. On Jan. 13 the Rams fell to the Aztecs 44-48 with seconds left in the game, and they get their second shot at San Diego State Saturday in Viejas Arena at 8 p.m. SDSU is 8-1 in the Mountain West and on an eight game winning streak. If the Rams win against the Aztecs on Wed., CSU will move into fifth place in the conference and will increase their record to 8-14. SDSU leads the MW in scoring defense at 54.3 points per game while holding its opponents to 34.7 percent from the field. But its not all defense for the Aztecs. SDSU ranks second in the conference, shooting 43 percent from the field, and boasts two of the top ten scorers in the Mountain West. Senior Courtney Clements scores 16.8 points per game, good for second in the conference, and senior Chelsea Hopkins scores 13.6 points per game, which ranks her eighth in the Mountain West. Hopkins was named the MW Player of the Week this week after averaging 15.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 3.5 steals in two wins last week. Clements and Hopkins only combined for 18 points in the teams’ earlier meeting while shooting 6-18 from the field, so CSU’s defense has a blueprint to follow on the high-scoring duo. The Rams haven’t won on the road since a Jan. 16 victory at Air Force, and the Aztecs provide one of the conference’s stiffest tests.

Hockey ends sweep over CU in ballroom blitz By QUENTIN SICKAFOOSE The Rocky Mountain Collegian

Fights, penalties and fan ejections. If there was any doubt if the CU-CSU rivalry existed away from the football field, Tuesday night’s hockey game at the Budweiser Events Center answered it as soon as the puck dropped. The hard hitting battle ultimately resulted in a 7-3 victory for the Rams, giving them the full sweep in their four games against CU-Boulder this season. The tension was apparent for the entire game, but the rivalry showed its true colors when the gloves of CSU senior Matthew Stolzberg and CU defenseman Sam Kinney flew off for a brawl that went to the ice following the game’s turning point of CSU’s sixth goal of the night. “That kid had been doing some stuff all game, until it finally came down to the green light that told me to go,” Stolzberg said. “It’s definitely fun to go out against them in

They were the first to put the puck in the net, wasting no time, scoring just 4:23 into the game. “We talked before the game, and all we wanted to do was give these guys a run for their money,” Kinney said. “It’s such a heated rivalry, always guaranteed for a fun game.” CSU was able to answer with a goal of its own from sophomore forward Adrian Olson, allowing into to enter the first period intermission tied at one.
