It hasn’t been 10 years since Matthew Shepard was brutally beaten and killed in our own backyard. The many advocacy offices on campus – GLBT Student Ser- vices, Black Student Services, El Centro, among others – fought tooth and nail to bring a support network to CSU students. And they’re still fighting the sting of an intolerant community. Dr. King was killed for his dream, but he was no ti- tan sent to rid the world of hate. He was a man. It is perhaps the deification of his life that allows us to so easily take for granted his work and that of his support- ers. He was a young man when he started his journey, and was ultimately assassinated at the age of 39, noth- ing god-like about that. He had troubles, relationships and hobbies, like any of us. So, let King’s life serve as a reminder, but also as a lesson that great men and women choose to be such. If we as students choose to rise above hate –– well, there’s nothing cliché about that.

The panel conducted a five-hour hearing as lawmak- ers sought to understand the decisions made during the hectic weekend of March 14-15 after Bear Stearns in- formed the Fed that it was on the verge of having to file for bankruptcy protection be- cause nervous creditors were demanding to be repaid. The investment house was purchased by JP Morgan Chase & Co. with assistance from the Fed in the form of a loan backed by $30 billion of Bear Stearns assets. JP Morgan has agreed to absorb the first $1 billion of losses if the value of the assets declines, but taxpayers are at risk for the remaining $29 bil- lion. Bear Stearns, with a stock price around $150 per share a year ago, was sold for $10 a share, becoming the biggest victim of a severe credit crisis that hit financial markets in August. That crisis, which was triggered by a prolonged housing slump and cascading mortgage defaults, has made it harder for consumers and businesses to get loans and helped to push the country to the brink of a recession. Democrats on the Senate Banking Committee ques- tioned why the Fed was willing to put such a large amount of money at risk to protect Wall Street while as many as 3 mil- lion homeowners are facing the risk of defaulting on their mortgages with the adminis- tration balking at greater ef- forts to help them. “Was this a justified rescue to prevent a systemic collapse of financial markets or a $30 billion taxpayer bailout for a Wall Street firm while people on Main Street struggle to pay their mortgages?” Senate Banking Commit- tee Chairman Christopher Dodd asked Bernanke and the other witnesses. Bernanke said that govern- ment’s effort was not a bailout for Bear Stearns shareholders, who will suffer big losses, but an effort to protect the finan- cial system and ultimately the entire economy, which could have faced severe conse- quences from a Bear Stearns bankruptcy. “The adverse impact of a default would not have been confined to the financial sys- tem but would have been felt broadly in the real economy through its effect on asset val- ues and credit availability,” said Bernanke. On Wednesday, Bernanke had for the first time raised the possibility that the cur- rent economic troubles could push the country into a reces- sion. Steel said that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was actively monitoring four days of marathon negotiations that began after Bear Stearns noti- fied the Fed on March 13 that it was one day away from hav- ing to file for bankruptcy pro- tection. Steel said the administra- tion supported the Fed’s deci- sions. Most of the questions on the deal centered on the value of the assets the Fed is now holding as collateral for the loan. “How big do you have to be to be too big to fail?” asked Sen.
