Due to the vice president’s motor
cade, traffic on Pollock Road will be
restricted from 8 am. to 4 p.m. on
Tuesday.
Fbx Hill Road and Fbx Hollow
Road will also be closed for about 15
minutes some time between 1 p.m.

roads is also prohibited all day.
Kerri Axelrod a spokeswoman for
Organizing for America of
Pennsylvania, said the rally is being
held in conjunction with President
Barack Obama’s rally at the
University of Wisconsin at Madison.
Axelrod said there will be “watch
parties” on college campuses across
the nation where students can tune
in to see the event air live.
“We’re laying out the choice vot
ers face in November, between mov
ing our country forward and electing
allies of the president,” Axelrod said,
“or letting Republicans take over
and go back to the same agenda
from the Bush administration.”

about some of the major changes his
administration has made that will
ultimately help students afford a col
lege education. Among them, he
talked about reforming health care
to cover uninsured college gradu
ates on their parent’s plans and
changes in taking out and repaying
student loans.
On Thursday, the health care
changes took effect, adding unin
sured young adults back onto their
parents’ healthcare plans. They can
stay on that plan until their 26th
birthday or until they find a job
that offers healthcare, Obama said.
The costs for parents to keep their
children on their plan should not go
up substantially, he said.
Rob Ghormoz, president of the
Penn State College Democrats, said
his brother, a Fbrdham University
graduate, was just added back onto
his parents’ health insurance after
nine months of being uninsured.

the day came when he was back on

Because the project is only one

Right now, the board of directors
which includes Richards’ parents

Obama also emphasized the
importance of getting college stu
dents to actually graduate, and said
his initiatives will hopefully remove
some of the barriers that cause stu
dents to drop out.
Right now, more than a third of
college students who enroll don’t
earn a degree, even after six years,
he said, calling it “a waste of poten
tial.”
Part of the Obama administra
tion’s plan to increase graduation
rates will go into effect in 2014 and
allows college graduates to cap their
loan repayments at 10 percent of
their monthly income.
“And if you go into public service
something like teaching, for
example, or you’re a police officer or
firefighter and you keep up with
your payments, whatever leftover
student debt you have will be forgiv
en after 10 years,” Obama said.
The president said the key to get

ready for a new generation to enter
the workforce is improving the econ

small and large businesses, building

p.m., YAF Chairman Samuel Settle
said.
Settle (junior-political science and
histoiy) said that since Biden was
coming to rally Democratic voters,
he feels it is important to offer an
alternative opinion.
“This administration was brought
in by the youth vote,” Settle said.
“But they’ve really done nothing
effective for young people.”
Settle said young Americans will
not be taken seriously in Washington
until they stand up and make them
selves heard.
“A government that values us
starts with essentially defying
expectations,” he said.
“We need to make it clear to
everyone involved that we’re paying

plenty of opportunities for college
graduates. He said that despite the
way things look now, this generation
should not let themselves be dis
couraged.
“Don’t let anybody tell you that
somehow your dreams are going to
be constrained going forward,”
Obama said. “Right now we’re going
through a tough time but I have no
doubt that you guys are going to be
successful.”
The president closed the session
by calling on students to bring the
energy from the 2008 presidential
election back to the upcoming
midterm elections in November.
Students should start looking to
their state legislature and decide
who the best candidates are so they
can make an informed choice on
Nov. 2, he said.
“We’ve got an election coming up.
I want everybody to be well
informed and to participate,”
Obama said. “If you do, then I feel
very optimistic about the country’s

Patten said. “Other than that we’re
