PAGE 12 crime By eddie kim Daily Trojan 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 Manhunt leads to deadly shootout Events on Tuesday raised the suspected murderer’s death count to four known victims. | see police, page 3 | Joseph Chen | Daily Trojan 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. By Austin Reagan Daily Trojan 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. The president committed a significant portion of his address Students react to State of the Union The audience listened to the speech and a panel talk in the Annenberg East lobby. | see viewing, page 3 | politics graduation By Jordyn Holman Daily Trojan 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 Students react to 2013 commencement speaker Jimmy Iovine, co-founder of the Interscope-Geffen-A&M record label, will speak on May 17. | see Speaker, page 3 | Rachel Bracker | Daily Trojan Voting on Undergraduate students lined up Tuesday next to Tommy Trojan to vote in the 2013 Undergraduate Student Government elections.
