The manhunt for the suspected
killer of USC Dept. of Public
Safety officer Keith Lawrence, his
fiancee Monica Quan and two law
enforcement officers has taken a
dramatic turn.
Law enforcement engaged in a
shootout on Tuesday with a suspect,
believed to be ex-Los Angeles Police
Department officer Christopher
Dorner, who had holed up in a
cabin near Big Bear Lake, Calif. The
confrontation ended with the cabin in
flames, leaving questions of whether
or not a body was found inside.
Several media sources said a body
was found Tuesday evening in the
remains of the cabin. These reports,
however, conflict with the LAPD’s
official announcement that no body
has been found as of 10 p.m. Tuesday. If
and when the body is found, it will also
have to identified by law enforcement,
a process that could take days or even
weeks, according to LAPD.
Dorner, the suspect-at-large for
the murders, was tracked into the
mountains after his truck was found
burning in the area last week. Law
enforcement began searching the Big
Bear area over the weekend, checking
cabin-by-cabin for any evidence or
tips.
Earlier Tuesday, Dorner allegedly
broke into a home near Big Bear, tied
up the residents and stole a pickup
truck, according to the Los Angeles
Times. Later that day, Dorner was
allegedly spotted by state California
Department of Fish and Wildlife
officers, which led to a shootout

Country talk · Matt Rodriguez, Austin Coleman, Dean Ernest Wilson III, Charlie Epting, Bill Simon and
Dan Schnur speak at a panel Tuesday evening following President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address.

Approximately 100 students
packed the east lobby of
the Annenberg School for
Communication and Journalism on
Tuesday night for a live viewing of
President Obama’s State of the Union
address. Students of all political
leanings gathered to watch as the
president listed his legislative agenda
before the 113th Congress.
In addition to outlining his plans
for the upcoming year, the president
highlighted issues that will likely
prove paramount throughout his
entire second term.
Obama began his speech by
addressing the economy and job
creation. The president encouraged
the return of manufacturing jobs
to the United States, citing top
American companies such asFord
and Apple as examples of businesses
committed to strengthening the U.S.
job market.
The president also continued to
emphasize themes of bipartisanship
and across-the-aisle negotiations
that have been central to past State of
the Union addresses. Still, his speech
served to reinforce some of the chief
policy goals of the Democratic Party:
comprehensive environmental
reform, increased federal funding
toward early-childhood education
and tighter gun control legislation.
Obama’s plans resonated with
many students. Arvind Iyer, a
graduate student majoring in
biomedical engineering, was
optimistic about the plans.
“It is great to hear stuff about
investment in education. The pre-school
emphasis today was a welcome
addition,” Iyer said.

Students reacted after the
administration announced
Monday that Jimmy Iovine, the
chairman of Universal Music
Group’s Interscope-Geffen-
A&M Records unit and co-founder
of Beats By Dr. Dre, will
speak at the university’s 130th
commencement ceremony.
Iovine began his four-decade
career in the music industry
when he was a teenager. Early in
his career, he worked with John
Lennon and Bruce Springsteen.
Interscope, which he co-founded
in 1990, primarily deals
with hip-hop, pop, rock and urban
performers. The record label
merged with Geffen Records and
A&M Records in 1999. Artists
that have signed with Interscope
include Dr. Dre, Marilyn Manson,
Kendrick Lamar and Azealia
Banks.
Iovine also co-produced the
2002 movie 8 Mile, which starred
the rapper Eminem. He was also
the executive producer for LeBron
James’ 2008 documentary More
Than A Game.
In 2006, Iovine and hip-hop
producer Dr. Dre created Beats, a
high-performance headphone and
sound transmission company.
The company markets Beats
headphones as well as speakers
and other audio technologies.
Currently, Iovine also serves
as a mentor on Fox’s American
Idol. He uses his expertise and
experience of the industry to
guide the show’s contestants in
their weekly musical challenges.
Successful Idol contestants, such
as Scotty McCreery and Phillip
Phillips, now release their music
through Interscope.
Some students believe Iovine
and his advice will add compelling
depth to the commencement
ceremony.
“It was a good choice of USC to
take someone who doesn’t have
the same visibility as huge stars
and huge famous people we have
had before,” said Julia Riley, a
senior majoring in art history and
political science. “I don’t know his
background as much or his view
or what he can give us for advice,
but I think someone who is that
accomplished is someone we can
learn from.”
Other students believe the
university could have chose a
more well-known speaker.
“I wish it could have been
someone more renowned in
a general sense,” said Ama
Hayes, a senior majoring in
communication. “Personally I
am not going to be too thrilled
or bragging to my family about
it. But, at the end of the day, it is
about the message he gives to us,
so I’ll have to listen to him before
