fort collins focus Community Briefs Opinion wanted about CSU parking, commuting, traffic flow Due to the growth and transition of the CSU popu- lation and the parking ser- vices available to it, signifi- cant changes are expected to occur campus-wide. In order to make these changes as positive and com- munity-oriented as possible, CSU Parking Services is cur- rently conducting a transpor- tation study across campus. As part of the study, all stu- dents and employees have the opportunity to take a sur- vey about the future of trans- portation to and across cam- pus, parking and alternative transportation on campus. The survey is available at www.surveymonkey.com/s/ CSUCommuterSurvey2013 until April 12. CSU Parking Services has also scheduled several public meetings to solicit feedback from the campus community.

Today, [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments about a case against the By caleb hendrich Defense of Marriage Act, a federal law that allows the states to not rec- ognize marriages between gay men and lesbians. To put it bluntly, there isn’t any reason for either Proposition 8 or the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) to remain in place. They are both discriminatory, as they actively deny rights that are normally granted without question to a specific segment of the public based on a single trait that makes them different. On those grounds alone, Proposition 8 should be struck down and DOMA should be repealed. They are comparable to denying African Americans or women the right to vote based on skin color and gender, respectively. Specifically with regards to Proposition 8, one of the leading arguments that was put forward was that the definition of marriage should not be redefined to accom- modate gay and lesbian people. However, this ignores the fact that the definition of marriage has been changed before. It was not that long ago that a person of color and a white person were not allowed to marry. The definition then was that marriage was reserved for people of the same race, with no mixing allowed. A white man marry- ing a black woman, and vice versa, was something that made some people uncomfortable, much like two men or two women getting married does today. If you need evidence for this, try to watch the movie “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” without feeling like the issue of interracial marriage being wrong or illegal (which is the central problem in the plot) is a foreign concept. Allowing gay men and lesbians to marry is not going to tear down or otherwise weaken the institution of marriage. As with all things, definitions can change with time and, if the polling from my generation is anything to go by, “gay marriage” is inevitably going to just be “marriage,” which is what it is anyway. Just because a person is gay or lesbian is no reason to exclude them from the rights and benefits that straight people enjoy. On those grounds alone, Proposition 8 should be struck down. DOMA is a bit more complicated, but is discrim- inatory in the same way as Proposition 8. It defines Group projects: Don’t be ‘that guy’ marriage as between a man and a woman at the federal level, but it also provides that “No State, territory, or So at some point in grade is then invariably tied up with so that you can go hang out with your possession of the United States, or Indian tribe, shall be your college career, theirs, but peer reviews do not make friends or go skiing is not a good rea- required to give effect to any public act, record, or judi- whether you’ve up for several weeks to a semester of son.

5 5 classads @ lamar.colostate.edu 8 Wednesday, March 27, 2013 | The Rocky Mountain Collegian Daily Horoscope Nancy Black TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (03/27/13). Communication is the key that unlocks all doors this year. Your attention is anchored at home, with friends, family and projects aplenty. Monitor fi nances

JADE closely for growth, and get creative. Follow passion and fun. Let go of outmoded ideals, and trust your intuition.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. #Room-Antics ARIES (March 21-April 19) ––8–– Some things are still out of reach. Focus on completing as much of the mundane work as possible now so that you can concentrate on more diffi cult tasks later. Elbow grease pays off. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ––7–– Stick with trusted routines, and do what you know works. Handle basics: chop wood and carry water. Postpone romance for now, and focus on produc- tivity. Don’t go out shopping either. Minimize risks, and build infrastructure. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ––7–– An obstacle may get in the way. Use your creative powers to turn a detour into a new op- portunity. You’re being tested on your patience, anyway. It’s not about the score. Rochelle Peeler Rochelle

Meh Comex CANCER (June 21-July 22) ––6–– A female introduces new ideas. Peaceful interludes rejuvenate and ripple out. Being gentle in- creases your self-esteem, and more gets accomplished through fl exibility than through pressure. Long-distance deals bring sur- prising results, even after slight delays. Gambling is unwise. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ––7–– Don’t be afraid to ask for help, even if you feel like you don’t need anybody. There’s plenty to learn and improve upon, and it’s better together. It’s more fun, and you’re done earlier. Spending isn’t required. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ––7–– Figure out a solution to a con- fl ict of interests. Do it carefully so you won’t have to do it over. New opportunities come from your willingness to contribute and help others. It’s also satisfying. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ––8–– New breakdowns could arise from previous ones. This is what it looks like when you’re real- ly playing. Continue with your productivity streak, and do what Tommy Grooms Tommy there is to do. Address root causes. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ––7–– Perceive the underlying harmo- Ralph and Chuck Ralph ny. You’ll discover something that you didn’t notice before regard- ing your time management this week. Being self-suffi cient helps. Keeping close contact with your calendar and structures is vital. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ––6–– Take care of your rela- tionships, and don’t lose your temper. You don’t want to burn any bridges that you may want to cross later. Meditation helps, as does comedy. Add a sense of humor. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ––7–– Avoid a serious argument; it’s not worth it right now. You have more interesting things to worry about. Focus on your personal progress, especially around career. Don’t stir up jealousies. Acknowledge others for their contributions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ––7–– Answer the call of the wild; Tim Rickard Tim you’re ready for anything. Work out the glitches in a relationship. Listen to all points of view. Self-esteem increases as you iron out the wrinkles. Unexpected results are available. Brewster Rockit Brewster PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ––6–– Avoid impetuous actions. The budget is tight and will require some creative thinking. Step back to recall what worked before, and put that information to good use. Get feedback and participation from others. RamTalk compiled by Kris Lawan
