On a campaign stop in Timnath Wednesday, Republican vice presiden-tial candidate Paul Ryan spoke to a crowd of hundreds under a sign read-ing “We Need Real Recovery.”

A long line of cold Coloradans twisted through the parking lot at Walker Mowers, a family-owned trac-tor manufacturing warehouse on East Harmony. Vendors hawked buttons and t-shirts reading, “We Built It” and “OMG: Obama Must Go.” Volunteers walked the line with voter registration sheets.

Attendees who made it inside to see Ryan speak, passed through secu-rity and cramped into the warehouse. A stage had been set up between scaf-folding that still held plastic wrapped tractor equipment.

“I think he chose this venue to tar-get the whole community, not just CSU students,” said Amanda McGowan, a sophomore biology major.

Campus Republicans passed out 120 tickets to students on campus the day before Ryan’s speech, McGowan said.

The crowd consisted mostly of middle-aged people but some chil-dren stood with their parents gripping Romney/Ryan campaign signs and a few college-aged attendees were scat-tered through the crowd. There was also an area designated at the back for wheelchairs.

“I would have liked to see more students here,” freshman social work major Caitlin Riggs said. “This is one of the most important elections in history and I don’t think 18-24 year-olds under-stand the impact of their vote. I really didn’t see many college students here.”

Before speeches began, Jamie O’Neil sang hits like “Don’t Stop Be-lieving” by Journey. She also changed the words of her own song, “When I Think About Angels” to fi t the cam-paign message.

As attendees arrived, “When I think of angels I think of Paul Ryan,” could be heard echoing through the rafters.

Rachel Drechsler, senior political

science major and treasurer for CSU Campus Republicans, was one of the people that introduced Mitt Romney’s running mate. Campus Republicans President Brad Dick and Vice President Tyler Marr also spoke.

“His values line up with what I be-lieve,” Drechsler told the Collegian after the speech. “Romney and Ryan are go-ing to help create a better America for tomorrow.”

Before elaborating on campaign goals, Ryan talked about how impor-tant it is for people to vote.

This election, he said, is especially

CSU group wins Colorado’s BioWest Venture ShowcaseBY ALEX STEINMETZThe Rocky Mountain Collegian

To be chosen out of fi ve companies for the best emerg-ing company in Colorado and to win $7,500 was the end goal for CSU spinoff company Vet-erinary Emerging Technolo-gies Development Corpora-tion (VetDC) at the BioWest

Venture Showcase.The showcase was orga-

nized by the Colorado Bio-science Association. This bi-annual event is provided for beginning companies to bring their ideas in front of a panel of investors and the local com-munities in an effort to gain the recognition of being the most promising startup com-

pany.“Forty exhibitors came to

show what they want to do. There were about 400 peo-ple from the industry there as well,” said April Giles, ex-ecutive vice president of the Colorado Bioscience Associa-tion.

VetDC’s presented against four other companies, includ-

ing another spinoff company from CSU, KromaTID. The fi ve teams each had 15 minutes to present their ideas to the panel.

VetDC’s idea was to use shelved medications and oth-ers that are brand new to the market and see if there is any chance that they could be used to help cure or limit the oc-currence of cancer in human-companion animals, accord-ing to President and CEO of

VetDC, Steven Roy.“To date, there are no com-

panies with the core focus on cancer,” Roy said.

Roy explained that the reason behind the focus on cancer was because it’s a dis-ease that can be unnerving for anyone involved, be it family members or family pets.

Group proves to be the most promising startup company

About 30 percent of the seats in the Associated Students of CSU Senate remain unfi lled after the student government made an effort to boost in-volvement this semester.

Currently, there are two colleges still struggling to fi ll seats. Applied Human Sci-ences has one seat out of fi ve fi lled, and Intra-University has one out of four fi lled, ac-cording to ASCSU President Regina Martel.

Earlier in the year Billy Raddell, director of university affairs and academics at ASC-SU, had reported that an entire college, Applied Human Sci-ences, had not fi lled any Senate seats, which refl ected a need in a change of atmosphere in the student government.

Raddell said that after he pointed this out, student gov-ernment made an effort to fi ll these seats.

“We made a conscious de-cision at our retreat that we needed to close the gap be-tween Senate and the college councils,” he said. “We ulti-mately decided to do that by visiting each college council individually and speaking to them about it.”

The senate started off the year with 17 of the 39 seats filled, and since then has filled 10 open seats. At this time last year 16 of the seats were filled.

“We had Dr. Frank speak at our senate meeting last Wednesday, and I was worried that the senate room would look empty,” Martel said. “I think it was more full that night than I’ve ever seen it.”

Other ASCSU members have noticed the change as well.

Puddles are the eternal bane of people in a hurry. They have to be carefully avoided so that you don’t have to waste time later drying off your shoes/socks/pants etc. If you’re NOT in a hurry though, jumping around in puddles is one of the most enjoyable things that can ever be done.

Torrential rains are not very com-mon in Colorado. At most the state gets a few inches over the course of a few weeks, or none at all. It is a downside to living in a desert. But, on those rare occasions where we do get rain, there are some things that you can do.

High Park Fire Restoration Coalition needs volunteers

After the High Park Fire burned 85,000 acres of land in northern Colorado, the High Park Restoration Coalition is proactively trying to keep the the fire damage from leading to any further issues as the winter approaches. The Co-alition is made up of various local nonprofits whose focus is on ecological restoration.

“The most immediate post-fire need is to defend roads, reservoirs, rivers, homes and communities from the threat of further landslides and flooding expected in the coming winter and spring months,” according to John Giordanengo, one of the lead members of the Coalition.

Beginning in October, the Coalition plans to be-gin four restoration projects whose main goals are to protect water supplies and various infrastructures from floods and mudslides. With these restoration projects on the horizon, hundreds of volunteers are needed in or-der to carry out each project successfully.

If anyone is interested in volunteering, they are asked to signup on the Wildlands Restoration Volunteer website atwww.wlrv.org. In addition to volunteering, the Coalition is accepting donations for the restoration projects. The mon-ey will go towards the pur-chase of seed, mulch, tools, food and training for the crew and the leaders in restoration methods. Donations can be sent to the High Park Resto-ration Fund at the Community

Foundation of Northern Colo-rado, www.communityfoun-dationnc.org.

Fort Collins to o�cially open two new parks in October

Registry Park and Waters Way Park are scheduled to be open to the public on Oct. 11. The city will have community gatherings in order to bring the community to the parks unveiling. Each grand opening will include speeches, ribbon cutting, prizes, and snacks — all available to the public.

Registry Park’s event will begin at 3:30 p.m. at 6820 Rangers Dr. and will conclude at 5 p.m. The park is locat-ed in southwest Fort Collins‘ Registry Ridge neighborhood and sits on six acres of land.

Waters Way Park’s event will begin at 4:30 p.m. at 715 Fair-bourne Way and will conclude at 6 p.m. The park is located in south central Fort Collins ad-jacent to Pelican Marsh Nat-ural Area and is sitting on 7.9 acres. The public is encour-aged to attend both.

These two parks were de-layed a few years ago because there wasn’t enough money to fund their construction. In November 2010, an 0.85 percent sales tax was passed to fund critical services in the community, including the construction of community parks. According to the Di-rector of Park Planning and Development, Craig Fore-man, these parks are espe-cially important for the bene-fit of families in surrounding neighborhoods.

“Basically there is a neigh-borhood park in every square

mile of a neighborhood. This way people don’t have to cross busy roads, like College, in order to get to those parks. Families have the opportuni-ties to walk or ride bikes to the park,” Foreman said.

The city is happy to be a part of the completion of the parks and encourage the community to join in the celebration in October, ac-cording to Foreman.

A new tra�c light in Fort Collins

A new traffic light at the Laurel and Mason Street in-tersection north of CSU’s campus has been installed. Beginning Wednesday, the traffic light will transition from flashing to solid signals.

The newly converted Mason Street includes an

added southbound lane that sees heavy bicycle, pedestri-an and vehicle traffic.

Since pedestrians are trespassing on Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) property if they cross the open railroad track area, they could be ticketed by Fort Collins police. Desig-nated crosswalks allow pre-vention of this problem.

Changes to Mason Street are in preparation of the MAX Bus Rapid Transit ser-vice, which will travel with vehicles in certain sections of Fort Collins’ streets and follow its own guideway in other sections.

For more information about Mason Street safety or MAX please contact Claire Thomas at 970-221-6882.

important because of the lasting impact the incoming administration’s policy will have on the country.

“This is not an ordinary election,” Ryan said in his speech. “We are choosing the kind of country we will have for a generation.”

Ryan focused his speech on the importance of sup-porting small businesses, providing adequate health-care, modifying welfare and changing foreign policy with little mention of the youth vote or education.

“It’s starting to get down

to statistics and facts, not just ideas,” junior econom-ics major Marcus Giebel said.

Television screens on either side of the stage dis-played graphs of the coun-try’s debt increase since World War II and Ryan ex-plained Romney/Ryan’s plan to fix the budget.

“He did a great job ad-dressing the fiscal issues,” Riggs said. “I think this is a more fiscal election than a social one.”

Ryan said the unemploy-ment rate has stayed above 8 percent for 43 months. He addressed the Romney/Ryan

platform and their plan to remedy the unemployment rate as well as their support of family-owned small busi-nesses.

Education was men-tioned very briefly in Ryan’s speech but CSU students in attendance understood that 18 to 24 year-olds were not his target audience.

“I don’t think it would help their campaign if they target us.” Riggs said. “Obama does that.”

Logan disagreed. “I think Obama has the upper hand but it would help if they got out and targeted us,” she said.

Toward the end of the election, Giebel said he expects the Romney/Ryan ticket to come to campus because the youth vote is so important and Fort Collins is a swing district in Colo-rado.

“If they really want to appeal to those 18-24 year-olds then they have to address that and have a strong stance about what they’ll do about higher education, loans, scholar-ships and tuition hikes,” Riggs said.

“When I was in Sen-ate two years ago it was much, much smaller,” said Taylor Jackson, director of student services. “I think that at this point we have much more diversified communication and more independent ideas, which lead to better outcomes for everyone.”

The number of seats available in Senate fluc-tuates each year, with the number of seats being al-located to a college chang-

ing depending on student enrollment. There is one

Senate seat for every 750 stu-dents. If these seats are not filled, it means that students in that college are being un-derrepresented.

“We really want to con-tinue to fill up those extra seats,” Martel said. “We want to do that by con-tinuing to push the college councils to get their stu-dents involved, and we also want to make sure that Sen-ate is accomplishing every-thing they need to in order to attract new people.”

part of people’s families. If we can provide hope and another life for peo-ple’s pets, that’s what we want to do. Cancer is the leading killer of people’s pets today, so what better focus than cancer?”

With cancer as the cen-tral focus at the showcase, VetDC was confident that they had a strong exhibit for the panel and the com-munities. They had begun preparing for the showcase about a year ago, Roy said. In the end, their hard work and dedication paid off when they won the show-case.

“It was humbling. This makes the hard work worthwhile to get this kind of recognition,” Roy said as he reflected on the win.

CSU Ventures, a pro-

gram whose primary goal is to aid the innovation of new technologies by bring-ing them to the market, worked hand-in-hand with VetDC and KromaTID. The President of CSU Ventures, Todd Headley, explained that the competition had a great turnout for both teams.

“We are pleased that VetDC won this compe-tition and that two of our high potential startup com-panies are getting some well-deserved attention from the bioscience indus-try in Colorado,” Headley said.

VetDC plans to use their $7,500 prize to con-tinue to further their re-search.

Collegian Report-er Alex Steinmetz can be reached at [email protected].

Roughly 30 percent of the available senate positions in the Associat-ed Students of CSU are currently unfilled. Both the College of Applied Human Sciences and Intra-University have only filled one of their seats.

The Rocky Mountain Collegian | Thursday, September 27, 2012 3

“The stimulus package was an ex-ample of political patronage, corpo-rate welfare, cronyism and the works,” Paul Ryan’s voice echoed throughout the warehouse. “A borrowed expense in wasteful tax dollars.”

Strong words from the VP hopeful at Walker’s Manufacturing near Fort Collins, as he made the case against President Obama’s failed stimulus and economic policies.

This is a much different tune than Rep. Ryan was singing a few years ago, when he was perfectly fine with pass-ing stimuluses with President George W. Bush in office.

“What we’re trying to accomplish today with the passage of this third stimulus package is to create jobs and help the unemployed,” the Huffing-ton Post quotes Ryan as having said. “What we’re trying to accomplish is to pass the kinds of legislation that when they’ve passed in the past have grown

the economy and gotten back to work.”Not exactly the same small gov-

ernment rhetoric heard Wednesday at Ryan’s town hall meeting. Wednesday, Rep. Ryan sounded much different than he did at the height of the finan-cial crisis in 2008, when he went before Congress and gave an impassioned, apocalyptic speech in favor of passing a $800 billion TARP bailout — the epit-ome of corporate welfare.

From where I was standing, I could feel the emotion behind Ryan’s words as he addressed the crowd. Paul Ryan loves his country, and wants to help fix it. The question is whether Ryan’s pro-posed solutions are enough to combat our titanic deficit.

Paul Ryan is touted as a fiscally con-servative Republican (though some of his voting record suggests otherwise) who earned his spot on the Romney ticket because he has the numbers to combat government spending and our debt.

The problem with Ryan’s budget is that, while cutting many social pro-grams and some much needed reforms, his budget still fails to accomplish many of its primary goals. Fox News reports that under the Ryan budget government spending increases just about every year over the next decade, tax and other rev-enue will continue to rise every year and the 10 year deficit is still $3 trillion.

To put Ryan’s budget into perspec-tive though, we can measure it up against Obama’s budget. Under Ryan’s plan, the budget would grow from $3.6

trillion in 2012 to $4.9 trillion in the year 2022. Under Obama’s plan, the budget would go from $3.8 trillion in 2012 to $5.8 trillion.

Obviously Ryan’s plan will do more than Obama’s to help combat our debt, but with all of the proposed cuts to social programs you wouldn’t think the government would continue to in-crease spending by trillions of dollars.

Our debt has increased by about $5.4 trillion since Obama took office on January 20, 2009. Today, each citi-zen’s share of the national debt is more than $50,000. The problem is that this amount that each and every one of us owes will increase under either Obama or Ryan’s plan.

Ryan voted in lockstep to increase the size of government with neocon-servatives throughout the reign of Pres-ident George W. Bush. It seems, though, that those days are behind Paul Ryan, who at least has the courage to sit down and try to hammer out a budget — something all of the U.S. Senate has failed to do in the past three years.

Paul Ryan’s plan may not be perfect, and it may not do enough to fix our deficit — but at least he actually has a plan. It may not be enough to fix our broken system, but at least it looks like a step in the right direction.

“I absolutely love walk-ing through the Eddy-Clark corridor, the smoke-filled atmosphere just serves to really refresh me on my way to class” — said no one, ever.

Last week the Collegian ran an article reporting on how CSU was considering banning tobacco prod-ucts, and it is definitely an annoying issue that needs addressing.

While I believe that banning all tobacco prod-ucts on campus is a bad idea and ultimately not necessary, something needs to be done to ad-dress the cigarette smoking that currently takes place everywhere.

Nearly every day, de-spite which route I take to class, I find myself im-mersed in a putrid plume of smoke that some man or woman decided was nec-essary to exhale as soon as they passed me by.

While I believe strongly that it is every citizen’s right to slowly kill themselves however they choose, I firmly deny that they have the right to subject me to the same fate.

The problem I have with cigarette smokers is that they are affecting the health of many other peo-ple with their decision to light one up in public — that simply astounds me everytime I see it. These people are either unaware — or perhaps just do not care — that they are taking time off of everyone’s life that surrounds them while they enjoy a few minutes of nicotine heaven.

This is precisely why cigarette smoking should be banned on campus. Public health is a very serious is-sue, and the university has a responsibility to protect the health of those students that pay for it to function.

Basically, by allowing cigarettes to continue to be used in the same capacity that they are right now, the campus community is say-ing it is okay for people to make decisions that could give their peers cancer and/or other serious maladies.

With the amount of in-formation and research that has been done on the effects of secondhand smoke, there is absolutely no excuse for al-lowing smoking to continue to be a public practice.

I would absolutely support a campus ini-tiative that would ban on-campus smoking, or at least quarantine it to a few largely people free zones, like the middle of the in-tramural fields (or some-where like that).

It would also not be overly difficult to enforce. We have bike cops that ab-solutely love enforcing the biking rules on campus — probably because they get paid splendidly to do that. The university could employ the same sort of sanctions on public smok-ers. Simply write them a citation for violating public health, which should take care of the problem quite quickly. It would most like-ly pay for itself too.

Hopefully this is not coming across as an attack on smokers. I have friends who smoke and it really is nothing against you as a person, you just have one little habit that I prefer not to pay with my life for.

So, perhaps in the not-so-distant future we will go to campus, get educated, and not have to pay for it with our lives.

Perhaps that is a bit too dramatic, but then again — perhaps not.

Second hand smoke kills us in a subtle, slow way; like how your bank account drains away from those tiny, less than $10 purchases we all make.

I do not expect this ar-ticle will change many of the hearts of those people who have the audacity to smoke in large crowds, but hopefully it will bring this issue to the forefront so that it can be given the attention that it de-serves and ensure it’ll be addressed and fixed in a timely manner.

And if anyone is really passionate about making their lives last a little longer and a little healthier, next time Mr. T. Frank writes one of his short stories to you, write him back that you would like to be able to go to class and not be forced to hold your breath for half the distance.

About 26 students get to-gether every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in a room specially made for them in the Lory Student Center to play “Senate.” It’s a game where “senators” sit and listen silently to guest speakers talk about something relevant to campus, or fellow students give extemporaneous speech-es on why they deserve a job in student government. Aside from a biannual student fee debate, that’s about all the “Senate” does.

It’d be funny if it weren’t so disappointing.

But this is what the Associ-ated Students of CSU Senate –– your student government –– does on a weekly basis. They don’t audit the executive branch, which manages almost $2 mil-lion in student money, to detect wasteful spending. They don’t demand to know from ASCSU

President Regina Martel wheth-er she’s keeping the 16 promises

she made to students during her campaign. They don’t evaluate the effectiveness of departments in student government.

But they do wonder why 30 percent of their seats are un-

filled.It’s no mystery. This partic-

ular branch of student govern-ment is largely irrelevant, spend-ing most of its time on fairly meaningless procedural tasks that do little to improve the lives of students. They dress up, get together, follow Robert’s Rules of Parliamentary Procedure and listen to speeches, but they don’t represent students.

It’s time to grow up, Senate. Put a few more hours a week into performing meaningful tasks that add to the welfare of the average CSU student. Fight over issues that impact students. Protect your Senate meetings from agenda items that just waste everybody’s time.

Then maybe –– just maybe –– students will think you’re worthy of theirs.

For billions of people across the globe, sanitation systems haven’t been updat-ed in hundreds of years.

That’s why the Re-search Triangle Institute approached CSU’s Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory, or EECL, to be-come one of the teams in-volved in the challenge to build a waterless toilet for regions lacking sanitation. This research is sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

In theory, the fi nal product would burn solid and liquid waste, and then convert the re-maining product into energy.

“From a design stand-point it’s a really unique design challenge,” Morgan DeFoort Co-Director of the Engines and Energy Conver-sion Lab said.

The research is set to last 15 months. If progress goes well there is a good chance another 15 months of re-search will be commissioned to fi nish the model.

“If the technology works it’ll go all the way to commer-cialization,” DeFoort said.

Creating a cost effective and clean way to get rid of human waste in developing countries that don’t possess sewers or water treatment plants could improve the

lives of billions of people in these areas.

In some places, sanita-tion hasn’t evolved since the middle ages.

“Sanitation systems were non-existent; you threw it in the street,” CSU history profes-sor Barbara Smith said about sanitation in the middle ages.

Of course more im-provements than fancy new toilets will be needed to help improve these regions of the world. Even if this re-search turns out to be fea-sible, the toilets have to be deployed, the already dam-aged ecosystems will need repair and there will still be serious problems outside of sanitation.

“You could see a product ultimately coming out that would have a big impact on human health throughout the world,” DeFoort said.

The EECL continues its humanitarian research into improving these poverty stricken countries with this project. RTI International approached CSU’s EECL for their experience in improv-ing biomass cook stoves, which are antiquated stoves powered by wood or oth-er organic material that are used in developing areas.

“RTI asked us to be on the team,” DeFoort said.

The Gates Foundation’s website doesn’t show any money given to CSU in grants for the project yet.

There was however a grant given to RTI for $250,062 in August of this year for an un-specifi ed project in the same genre as the waterless toilet. It is unclear if this award was shared or just for RTI but CSU is about one-third of the team.

DeFoort and five re-searchers, both faculty and students, will use any fund-ing that does come into the university. Those who do take part in the project will learn about realistic engi-neering issues teams face in development.

“(It’s) very cost con-strained, very consumer ori-ented, and so understand-ing the customer needs and designing for solutions that are low cost and scalable is a great benefi t to the students,” DeFoort said.

SANITATION STATISTICS

BY KIM GEIGERThe McClatchy Tribune

WASHINGTON — Voters in Virginia are the latest to get a taste of an increasing-ly popular type of political attack: the anonymous text message.

“Tim Kaine calls for radical new tax on all Americans,” reads a text message attacking the Democratic candidate in the hotly contested Virgin-ia Senate race.

Aside from being false — PolitiFact recently debunked a similar claim by Kaine’s Re-publican opponent, George Allen — the message came from an email address that used portions of Kaine’s name, giving the appearance that the message might have come from Kaine himself.

Kaine’s campaign said it had nothing to do with the message, and called on Vir-ginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to investigate.

“This isn’t just a sleazy campaign tactic,” Kaine’s campaign wrote in an email to supporters. “It’s a crime.”

As it turns out, there is some disagreement about the legality of this sort of po-litical messaging.

Although the Federal Communications Commis-sion has clearly stated that unsolicited automated text messages are against the law, some political adver-tising firms have found a way around the ban.

Instead of sending text messages the tradition-al way — from one phone number to another — these fi rms send emails to people’s cellphones, which produce messages that appear much like text messages.

The messages may orig-inate as emails, but the phone companies consider

them incoming text mes-sages, which can come with a charge if the cellphone owner does not subscribe to a text messaging plan, said Scott Goodstein, founder of Revolution Messaging, a text messaging and mobile advertising fi rm that serves Democratic and progressive clients.

“You’re actually paying to have somebody spewing negative campaign infor-mation on you,” said Good-stein, whose company has called on federal regulators to close the loophole that allows unsolicited email-to-text messages.

And, he said, these types of unregulated messages deny voters key information about who is behind an at-tack.

“If I’m going to put up a TV ad, I have to put up a dis-claimer and register,” Good-stein said. “These compa-nies think they’re above the rules of society and think they can just go smear peo-ple.”

Goodstein pioneered the use of text messag-ing in political campaigns, helping create the Obama campaign’s text message database in 2008. President Barack Obama used that database to announce Joe Biden as his running mate, and his campaign has been sending out regular text messages throughout his term.

Goodstein said the Obama list operates the right way: It targets only the cellphones of people who specifi cally signed up for texts from the campaign, and subscribers can reply “STOP” any time to get off the list.

But that system only works for campaigns that have built a large list of

text message subscrib-ers. Smaller campaigns — and outside entities wishing to infl uence the outcome of a particular race — often don’t have the resources or the time to build such a list. So they turn to people such as Gabriel Joseph, whose fi rm, ccAdvertising, “specializes in sending emails.”

Joseph would not say whether he was be-hind the Kaine messages and would not discuss his business, but he has bragged in the past about sending “millions” of messages to cellphones via email, according to a Slate report.

“I don’t know any-thing about sending text messages,” Joseph said in an interview. “My compa-ny specializes in creating unique ways to be able to do stuff.”

Goodstein, whose political text messaging business gives him reason to want to see the indus-try more tightly regulat-ed, said he thinks send-ing unsolicited emails to people’s text message in-boxes is illegal.

Earlier this month, the FCC issued an adviso-ry opinion that reiterated its ban on unsolicited au-tomated text messages, but did not specifi cally refer to text messages that are sent by email. The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 exempts political messages from bans on email spam.

“The FCC’s got their laws, but they don’t ban emails,” Joseph said. “My company sends emails, and emails are specifi -cally excluded from the spam law.”

Is political text message spam legal?

The agreement, which must still be approved in fed-eral court, also calls for UC to pay a total of $250,000 to the plaintiffs’ attorneys and set aside a maximum of $100,000 to pay up to $20,000 to any other individuals who join the class-action lawsuit by prov-ing they were either arrested or directly pepper-sprayed, a university statement said.

A video released online, showing an offi cer spray-ing seated students directly in their faces at close range

during an Occupy rally, had triggered outrage.

And UC’s own investiga-tions and a shake-up at the UC Davis police force put the university in a weak po-sition to argue against the students’ lawsuit.

The preliminary settle-ment, which was approved by the UC regents in a closed-door meeting earli-er this month, will be paid through the UC’s self-in-surance program, which of-fi cials said has about $600 million in reserves.

In April, a UC task force headed by former state Su-

preme Court Justice Cruz Reynoso found that UC Da-vis police had violated policy and that campus administra-tors mishandled the Novem-ber 2011 campus protest.

In May, a separate draft report about campus re-sponses to civil disobe-dience across UC urged administrators to use me-diation instead of confron-tation in most cases, al-though it said pepper spray might remain a necessary tool of last resort. A final version was released this month with no major poli-cy changes.

The 2,225 proposals for research money that CSU faculty sent out last year was time well spent. The university hauled in a record $340 million in research funding ending fi scal year 2012.

The $340 million is up $10 million from the previous record of $330 million recorded in 2011. The record-breaking year also puts CSU on the map nationally. The $340 million makes it

second in the nation in research expenditures among public universities without a medical school.

“Seeing research expenditures continue to grow is an important indicator of success at CSU,” said university spokesman Mike Hooker. “Even at a time when other resources have shrunk, this shows that people are confi dent in CSU to continue to provide world class research in a variety of fi elds.”

Here’s a breakdown of research funding.

UNITED NATIONS — Iranian President Mah-moud Ahmadinejad told the United Nations Gener-al Assembly on Wednesday that “uncivilized Zionists” are threatening to attack his country, but he otherwise was silent on the continu-ing clash between Iran and world powers over the Teh-ran’s disputed nuclear pro-gram.

Ahmadinejad, in an ad-dress that climaxed days of public and media appear-ances in New York, focused his remarks on what he de-scribed as an unjust interna-tional system, built around the United Nations, that op-presses the world in the in-terests of the West’s wealthy minority.

He said his country has “suffered from the agonies of forced aggressions” from countries he didn’t identify. He said that an “arms race and intimidation by nu-clear weapons and weap-ons of mass destruction by hegemonic powers have become prevalent” and that a “continued threat by the uncivilized Zionists to resort to military action

against our great nation is a clear example of this bitter reality.”

He complained that the United Nations has no legitimacy, while praising the Non-Aligned Move-ment, which met weeks ago in Tehran with the Ira-nian regime presiding. Ah-madinejad said he spoke for the group.

“A state of mistrust has cast its shadow on the in-ternational relations, whilst there is no trusted or just au-thority to help resolve world conflicts,” he said.

Ahmadinejad didn’t dwell for long on his re-gime’s disputes with Is-rael, as he has in earlier remarks to the media this week. In an interview on Monday, he said Isra-el’s presence in the Mid-dle East would be only a short-term one, and pre-dicted that before long it would be “eliminated.”

Before the U.N., he took aim at the materialism of the West and what he saw as the corruption of the American political system. He said the wealthy in the United States spend “hundreds of mil-lions of dollars” on elections, spending they viewed as just “an investment.”

Powerful Americans don’t care, he said, “about the 99 percent.”

The U.S. and Israeli del-egations didn’t show up for the speech, but many others

did, including representa-tives of Britain, France, the Palestinians and many Arab

countries.Outside the U.N., pro-

testers denounced his visit.

A thunderstorm pounded CSU and Larimer County Wednesday evening that shut down parking lots and caused minor flooding in buildings on campus.

The city of Fort Collins website showed areas around the univer-sity received more than an inch of rain over the period of about an

hour starting at approximately 4:45 p.m.

Other parts of Larimer County received between a quarter and a half inch of rain.

This led to some parts of cam-pus being shut down. Sections of the parking lot north of the Lory Student Center had about 8 to 12 inches of standing water. CSUPD had stationed patrols at the entrance to the parking lot and

weren’t allowing cars to enter.CSUPD said the storm also

caused minor flooding in the Rock-well basement, the basement of Green Hall and the Engineering Building. CSUPD and Facilities Management are addressing the flooding and assessing any dam-age, which appears at this time will be minor.

Small crowds of students gath-ered outside the Lory Student

Center as they debated whether to trudge through the standing water to get to their vehicle.

“I might brave it, but I don’t know if it’s the smartest thing to do,” said junior business major Cameron Delphia as he surveyed the semi-flooded parking lot.

According to the National Weather Service, Weld County is the only area to have been issued a flood warning.

CSU Spokesman Dell Rae Mo-ellenberg said students should not drive through flooded streets and avoid the flooded buildings.

The standing water at CSU was also the first report the Na-tional Weather Service had re-ceived of any water damages from the storm.

Defending against an option offense is one of the most diffi cult things for a de-fense to master.

Saturday afternoon, the CSU football team (1-3, 0-0 MW) will face that challenge as they travel to Colorado Springs to face rival Air Force (1-2, 0-1 MW) and its potent offense.

The Falcons have been successful running their of-fense thanks to the ability of senior quarterback Connor Dietz to create plays with his arm and legs.

Through the fi rst three games of the season, Dietz has averaged a modest 119.7 yards per game through the air, but has chipped in 67.7 yards per game on the ground while helping the offense av-erage over 375 yards per game on the ground overall.

With Dietz at the helm, opportunities have opened up for starting running back Cody Getz, who enters this week averaging 153.67 rush-ing yards per game, which makes him the No. 2 rusher

in the nation.“Obviously he under-

stands what he needs to do and does it great,” CSU coach Jim McElwain said. “When you get into that, sometimes you say ‘do you stop him?’ No, the key is probably is to contain him and not let him explode on you.”

In order to contain the Falcons’ rushing attack, the Rams might look to take a page out of UNLV’s play-book, who last week — af-ter trailing Air Force by 11 points at halftime — put together three consecutive touchdown drives of over 60 yards while controlling the clock and keeping the ball out of Getz’ hands.

The running game, with the insertion of running back

Chris Nwoke back into the starting lineup will be key for the Rams’ offense in slowing down Air Forces’ attack.

“Like we’ve been trying to do the last few weeks, just gettin the run game going,” CSU quarterback Garrett

Grayson said on what the of-fense has been focusing on this week. “And then obvi-ously be consistent on third

down, we wanna keep our-selves (the offense) on the fi eld and keep our defense off the fi eld. We’ve been kind of putting them in a bind lately with what we’re doing.”

For both the CSU and Air Force, the beginning of the 2012 season has pre-sented numerous challeng-es as both teams have strug-gled out of the gate. Both McElwain and Air Force coach Troy Calhoun have stressed that the diffi culties early on have given each an opportunity to teach their respective units how to exe-cute better.

“There’s nothing you can do about yesterday--you can learn from it,” Calhoun said. “I’ve always felt that what you do today does have an impact on what you do tomorrow and for us, we’ve gotta keep playing ball and our endgame has to be to develop as a football team and just to learn and grow from the experiences that we’re able to gain each and every week.”

Eighth place in the Moun-tain West is not somewhere the CSU volleyball team is ac-customed to being.

The Rams will have a chance to move into more familiar territory Thursday night against MW newcomer Nevada.

The Wolfpack started the 2012 season 1-10, but picked up three straight wins against Cal Poly, Texas Tech and San Diego State in the last 10 days.

“They can be a mis-take-prone team. I think that’s what hurt them early is they had a lot of giveaway points,” CSU coach Tom Hilbert said. “But, as most teams do, those things are going away as the season progresses. You still have to play them, and I think they’re going to be good.”

Sophomore middle block-er Tessa Lea’ea dominated Nevada’s last two matches, averaging 3.60 kills and 1.50 blocks per set en route to be-ing named the Mountain West Player of the Week.

“If you allow her to get the ball it’s going to be a long night,” Hilbert said. “We have to be aware of her, block her well, serve aggres-sively and keep the ball away from her.”

Nevada’s win over San Diego State caught more of CSU’s attention than an indi-vidual player award, however.

“We know they’re good, they beat San Diego State and San Diego State’s a great team,” senior outside hitter

Dana Cranston said. “That’s our gauge, we know who San Diego State is.”

But the Rams don’t really know who Nevada is yet, play-ing the Wolfpack for the fi rst time in a conference game.

“It’s our fi rst time play-ing them and we don’t know them that well, but they also don’t know us that well,” Cranston said. “It’s like a preseason game in the men-tal aspect of playing them for the fi rst time.”

The lack of familiari-ty between the teams may make the match feel like more of a non-conference match, but the newness is exciting for the players.

“We have to expect ev-erything, they’re going to do things we haven’t seen,” Paige said. “They’re a pret-ty complicated team. They have two really good mid-dles and our goal is to shut them down.”

CSU had a tough time stopping anything from New Mexico in the last three sets of the team’s loss in Albu-querque, N.M., but the team will not be looking past any other teams for the rest of its schedule.

“I don’t think there’s go-ing to be any doubt of that

for the rest of the year, be-cause that’s what happened at New Mexico,” Cranston said. “Everybody knows without saying, no matter who’s on the other side of the

net we cannot do that again. We’re not underestimating them at all.”
