to provide a seamless connection throughout the LSC. “Beginning with the exterior north side Transit Center entry to the LSC and including the CSU Bookstore refresh and expansion of the Adult Learner and Veteran Services program, the campus community will experience an aesthetic quality very similar to the south side, including the major entrances,” Ellis wrote.
Colorado State art department alums Riley Furmanek and Kayla Moore are looking to expand the Fort Collins art community with a unique and modern nighttime market, Nocturnus Night Market. Longtime friends, coworkers and collaborators, the pair is looking to create a unique and collaborative space for artists in Fort Collins. As our city expands, the art community does as well, and Nocturnus Night Market will provide a new and innovative space to build creativity and community. This is not your typical cliche art market. Furmanek and Moore are aiming to create a space not just focused on the guests, but on growing the artistic community in Fort Collins. They are hoping the market will serve as a place for creators involved to form relationships with one another and spur artistic collaborations.

Student Center slated for summer 2020 face-lift ALVS, Transit Center are final stages of 20-year, $24.2 million project By Ceci Taylor @ceceliatwt
You may have noticed that the Lory Student Center has undergone some major changes within the past several years, but additional changes this year aim to increase and expand resources for students and provide a better overall aesthetic. Beginning in May, the LSC at Colorado State University will undergo a renovation and expansion
of the Adult Learner and Veteran Services program. In an email to The Collegian, Mike Ellis, executive director of the LSC, wrote that the renovation will include mechanical, electrical, plumbing and aesthetic upgrades to the north end of the LSC along with the expansion to the ALVS center. The update is the third and final phase of the LSC’s 20-year, $24.2 million master plan, completed in 2004, Ellis wrote. “Where it makes sense, our in-
tent is to extend the look and feel of the floor to ceiling upgrades completed as part of phase II in 2014,” Ellis wrote. “For example, much of the existing floor plan on the north end will remain very similar to what we experience today, and we do not intend to renovate the north end ballrooms.” Ellis wrote that students can expect a renovation of the north side that is much like the south side renovation in 2014. He also wrote that the intent of the renovation is

It’s Complicated: How dating apps affect mental health By Gerson Flores Rojas @GersonFloresRo1
Editor’s Note: This is the third article in a series that explores various issues related to college relationships and how they impact students’ mental health. With the rise of new technology within the last few years and social media becoming an integral part of college culture, it is now easier than ever to meet new people, interact with them and date. Dating apps have become an important part of college students’ lives and a new way to find belonging in a place where they feel free, which begs the questions: How do dating apps affect students’ mental health, and what may a healthy relationship that began over a dating app look like? “Healthy relationships have quality time,” said Jennifer Harman, an associate professor in CSU’s psychology department. “You do things unconditionally. It’s not just saying the nice, but also not saying the mean. They express care, and love goes a long way.” Despite technology changing the world radically within the last 20 years, the need for a relation-
ship has not changed much. “The need to have relationships hasn’t changed a lot,” Harman said. “There’s always a need to belong. What has changed is how we meet people. Technology has changed how we meet people.”
“(Dating apps) set up false expectations for you. It also changes the information you can get. It changes how people want to portray themselves, and that can lead to very biased perceptions.” JENNIFER HARMAN ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, CSU PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT
Technology has made it easier for people to get to know one another and interact with others they might have never talked to otherwise, said Harman, who also explained dating apps are “good
for people who are shy and have trouble introducing themselves.” Some students at CSU also believe dating apps provide a great way to meet new people. “I think they are chill and can be useful if you’re trying to meet people,” said Emily Leugers, a senior political science major at CSU. On the other hand, some students, such as CSU freshman political science major Courtney Russell, don’t use dating apps. “Personally, I’m not a fan,” Russell said. “But people can do whatever they want.” But both students and faculty agree dating apps can have an impact on the mental health of college students. It can change expectations, make people vulnerable and change how people feel about other people, Harman said. “(Dating apps) set up false expectations for you,” Harman said. “It also changes the information you can get. It changes how people want to portray themselves, and that can lead to very biased perceptions.” Dating apps can also lead to conflict that can leave a person confused. “When you’re texting or emailing, it can be convenient, but it can
also interfere, draw attention away and people can misread,” Harman said. “There’s a lot of room for misinterpretation and misunderstanding.” Harman’s advice for dealing with this is to meet a person and ground it in reality. In other words, students should look at the virtual world and put it into reality. One of the other ways students believe their mental health could be affected by dating apps is through the nagging thoughts of what is going on in those dating apps. “Sometimes it could probably be harmful because of the thought of, ‘Are people swiping on me or not,’” said Leugers, who explained that social media culture can also be harmful and detrimental in general. Other students believe it can also lead to negative thoughts about oneself. “It can be very damaging to people’s confidence and self-esteem and objectifies people on how they look rather than their personality,” Russell said. Although dating apps and the effects they cause may seem normal to students at CSU, other students do not feel the same way.
“I come from a different country,” said Sanskar Vyas, a sophomore economics major at CSU. “Dating apps are really foreign to me. If you want to date someone, be best friends first.” Harman gives advice for anyone who goes on their first date with a person they met through a dating app. “Watch your drink, have friends that you can call and contact (and) don’t commit to a long date,” Harman said. “Just be cautious of the people you meet, and be careful. There’s dangers of predators who fake who they are and who misrepresent themselves. Meet at a public place. Let people know where you are.” What Harman said she recommends is balance. “Just have balance in your life,” Harman said. “Don’t go on 20 dates on the weekend. Shut off notifications. There’s plenty of time for dating.” While many of the psychological effects of dating apps aren’t known, the advice from students and professors alike remains the same: stay safe, and do as you please.

Student Center >> from page 1 The Transit Center renovation will include a third story addition and will take place over the summer when fewer students are on campus, Ellis wrote. This involves a closure of the Transit Center in midMay, and users will have to detour to the west side of the LSC or through the engineering building for the summer. “The Transit Center entrance will reopen prior to classes beginning in the fall,” Ellis wrote. “From here, the project will occur in phases, with offices such as ALVS and Student Legal Services need-
ing to temporarily relocate to other areas of the LSC. While some services on the north end close during the summer and building access will be limited, the intent is for all services to remain open during the fall and spring semesters.” The expansion of the ALVS center will improve the community and provide more opportunities for non-traditional students, said Marc Barker, director of the ALVS. “Typically, our center is full all day long,” Barker said. “The biggest service we provide is community, and we’ve run out of space to provide that community. The new space expansion will allow us to build the amount of students that we have actually actively engaged
in our center.” Barker said it’s important for students to have this space because a lot of students who utilize the ALVS are commuter students.
“The new space expansion will allow us to build the amount of students that we have actually actively engaged in our center.” MARC BARKER DIRECTOR, ALVS
“They come to school to go to class, but they don’t really have any other engagements
with the campus outside of class,” Barker said. “So, it’s really important for them to have a spot that allows them to engage with the broader campus community.” According to the ALVS website, the center provides and helps students find resources such as child care, disability services, homeless resources and many more. The expansion should be able to reach more students who need these resources. Barker said the expansion will allow the ALVS to launch a program for student parents as well. The bigger space will allow outside resources, such as the Office of Financial Aid and the Career Center, to occupy space in the ALVS as well.
Barker said the expansion might impact current students who utilize the space but hopefully not in a way that will damage the community. “We’re actually not going to use a whole lot of space during the temporary move,” Barker said. “It will be louder, probably. We may not have all of the services that we currently have. We may not have water or refrigerators, but hopefully it won’t impact the community at all. It will just be community displaced in a new space for a while.” Editor’s Note: Mike Ellis is a member of the Board of Directors for Rocky Mountain Student Media.

Nuevo centro de investigación de cannabinoides recibe $1.5 millones By Marshall Dunham @gnarshallfunham
Traducción: Kira Willis Si bien puede decirse que la industria del cannabis está en auge a lo largo y ancho de Colorado, la investigación del cannabis está a punto de estar en auge en la Universidad del Estado de Colorado (CSU). Más adelante, en esta primavera, la universidad abrirá un centro de investigación del cannabis con la Facultad de Ciencias Naturales (College of Natural Sciences (CNS)) para investigar una variedad de cannabinoides. Aunque los cannabinoides, compuestos encontrados en la planta color verde menta con hojas finas, se asocian a menudo con Willie Nelson y tomar bocadillos en la noche, serán el foco de estudios científicos nuevos en el centro de investigación. El centro ha sido financiado con una donación de $1.5 millones de una exalumna. La decana del CNS, Jan Nerger, dijo que está previsto que el centro abra esta primavera. Aunque el centro todavía no tiene nombre, Nerger dijo que el centro se ubicará en el edificio de química. El centro fue posible gracias a una donación de una alumna de CSU, Leslie Buttorff. Fue una estudiante del Departamento de Estadística y hoy es la dueña de Panacea Life Sciences, una empresa de CBD con sede en Golden. “De verdad va a ser algo que no pasa en ninguna parte de Colorado”, dijo Nerger. “Pensamos que serán las mejores instalaciones de investigación analítica en esta región”. Melissa Reynolds, la vicedecana de investigación del CNS, será la directora del centro. “Los cannabinoides son los compuestos encontrados en la planta de cáñamo”, dijo Reynolds. “Los más comunes y conocidos son
el THC y el CBD. Estos solo son dos de los 113 que han sido descubiertos hasta ahora”. Se usará el centro para descubrir e investigar cannabinoides variados y cómo afectan a los humanos y animales. “Ya empezamos las renovaciones para el espacio”, dijo Nerger. “Hasta ahora, hemos pedido instrumentación valorada en medio millón de dólares que debería llegar esta semana. Esperamos estar listos y en marcha a finales de este semestre”.
“Probablemente hay 100 cannabinoides diferentes. No sabemos qué son ni qué hacen, pero vamos a investigarlo. Nos dará oportunidades de investigación sin precedentes para nuestros profesores y estudiantes porque el campo de estudio está en vías de expansión”. JAN NERGER DECANA DEL CNR
Nerger añadió que CSU comprará instrumentación y equipo valorados en más de un millón de dólares que se utilizarán en la investigación del cannabis. El centro investigará una variedad de cannabinoides y Nerger dijo que la investigación probablemente empezará con el cannabidiol (CBD). “Probablemente hay 100 cannabinoides diferentes. No sabemos qué son ni qué hacen, pero vamos a investigarlo. Nos dará oportunidades de investigación sin precedentes para nuestros profesores
y estudiantes porque el campo de estudio está en vías de expansión”. Reynolds se hizo eco de lo revolucionario que es el centro. “Lo emocionante de este campo de estudio es que hay muchas preguntas que están sin respuesta, y estas nos llevan a preguntas adicionales”, dijo Reynolds. “El campo casi está completamente abierto todavía, y las posibilidades de hacer descubrimientos impactantes son emocionantes ahora”. El centro, que no va a hacer investigación del tetrahidrocanabinol (THC), el compuesto psicoactivo en la marihuana, puede investigar cualquier cannabinoide encontrado en el cáñamo según la ley agrícola de 2018. “Antes de la aprobación de la Agricultural Improvement Act de 2018 (la ley agrícola), el cannabis con niveles altos de THC y el cannabis con niveles bajos de THC (el cáñamo) estaban clasificados como sustancias incluidas en la Lista 1 bajo el nombre ‘marihuana’”, según la página de web de la investigación de cannabis y cáñamo de la Universidad. “Si bien la ley agrícola quitó de la lista el cáñamo, que es cannabis que tiene un nivel de THC no más alto que 0.3%, el cáñamo continúa estando sometido a controles de la significación y restricciones”. Nerger añadió que no se llevará cáñamo al campus. Reynolds señaló que el centro hará investigación de los terpenos también. “Los terpenos es un clase diferente y amplia de compuestos”, dijo Reynolds. “De manera similar a los cannabinoides, típicamente son de la variedad orgánica. También se pueden encontrar en diversas plantas”. Además, explicó que los terpenos son responsables del olor de muchas plantas. “Como los cannabinoides, los terpenos se unen con receptores diferentes en el cerebro para crear efectos diferentes”, dijo Reynolds.
Además de los niveles de THC, hay varias características físicas que distinguen la planta del cáñamo de la de la marihuana. FOTOGRAFÍA CEDIDA POR: MIKE SULLIVAN, HEMP FARMS COLORADO LLC.
Tanto Reynolds y como Nerger hablaron de lo que llamaron la “cadena de valor de cáñamo”. “Una de las iniciativas en las que la decana Verger quería enfocarse fue la idea de los cannabinoides y un campo de investigación que llamamos la cadena de valor del cáñamo, que es todo desde la semilla hasta las aplicaciones finales”, dijo Reynolds. Nerger dijo que CSU está en una posición muy buena para abrir el centro de cannabinoides, ya que CSU tiene varias facultades y departamentos que pueden explorar e investigar todos los aspectos de la cadena de valor del cáñamo. Por ejemplo, la Facultad de Ciencias Agrícolas puede investigar temas relacionados con el cultivo de cáñamo, mientras que el Departamento de Psicología puede investigar cómo afectan estos cannabinoides
al cerebro humano. “Hacemos más que arañar la superficie, pero esto es la investigación inicial en esta área. Pienso que vamos a desarrollar licenciaturas, programas de certificación (y) tendremos estudiantes de posgrado. Será importante para CSU”. Reynolds añadió que, después de un comunicado de prensa de CSU SOURCE relacionado con el centro de investigación, los estudiantes de pregrado les contactaron y preguntaron cómo podrían estar involucrados en el centro. “Agradezco no solo la emoción y el entusiasmo por parte de los profesores y donadores y la administración, sino también la emoción de los estudiantes y que hayan reconocido que esto va a darles muchas oportunidades también”.

Over the years, the Little Shop of Physics has grown both literally and metaphorically. We have worked with over 600,000 students, and continually strive to improve students’ experience of our unique hands-on approach to science education. We regularly take our experiments on the road, both nationally and internationally. And since that first event in 1991, the Little Shop of Physics Open House has grown to be the largest academic event on the CSU campus, and the largest event of its kind anywhere in the world. Each year, CSU students put a great deal of work and heart into preparing for and running this event. Little Shop of Physics Assistant Director Adam Pearlstein works with Spice, a CSU undergraduate intern and physics major in 2014.
Open House wouldn’t be possible without the cumulative support of the thousands of CSU student interns and volunteers who have worked with us, and that of the CSU community as a whole. We hope you join us Saturday, February 29th at the Lory Student Center.

RamRide continues fight against food insecurity By Serena Bettis @serenaroseb
In Larimer County, 38,040 residents are food insecure, and Colorado State University students are among them. Mike Buttram, the program coordinator for community engagement in the Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement offices, said a recent survey conducted by the Hope Center for College, Community and Justice on the CSU campus showed 32% of CSU students experienced food insecurity at some level in the last 30 days. “It’s nothing that we didn’t already know, but it’s alarming nonetheless because (of) the high prevalence of food insecurity on campus right now,” Buttram said. “That’s a rate that we’re unwilling to accept.” CSU’s RamRide program launched a new service this semester, called Food Ops, to further fight food insecurity on campus. RamRide will now provide students, faculty and staff with rides home from the monthly CSU Mobile Food Pantry and will
take weekly trips to the Larimer County Food Bank on Friday afternoons. “We know there’s a lot of folks that bike or walk or bus onto campus, which day-to-day is fine,” said Lindsay Mason, director of Off-Campus Life. “But if they’ve got 20 or 30 pounds of food, that can be really difficult for them to bike that home or walk that home.” Mason said RamRide took 67 people home after the Feb. 6 Mobile Food Pantry and plans on bringing more cars to the next one. As of now, Mason said, no prior sign-up is required for the Friday Food Ops. RamRide can currently take up to 31 people to the food bank, and those wishing to participate only need to check in at the RamRide office before 2 p.m. on Fridays. Participants can shop at the food bank for as long as they want, and RamRide will then take them home or back to the Lory Student Center. Debora Nunes, a graduate student in the economics department, said she uses the Mobile Food Pantry to get fresh fruits and vegetables, which are normally
expensive, but she has never been to the food bank because she does not own a car. “All the reports regarding food insecurity on campus are very big, and it’s a serious issue,” Nunes said. “I think that a lot of students who are suffering from food insecurity don’t have the means to actually go to the pantry, so this initiative is very important, and I think it will definitely help a lot of students who are in a bad situation.” Bri Colon, the program coordinator for Off-Campus Life, said Food Ops started after two students in a composition class created a petition where they asked the Associated Students of CSU to give RamRide more funding to provide these services. After meeting with the students and Rams Against Hunger, Colon said they determined that Food Ops can operate within RamRide’s existing budget. “Part of it was like, ‘OK, we have the vehicles; All it would take is just volunteer recruitment if we want to do it on Friday afternoon,’” said Gabriel Navarro, a master’s student in student affairs and

higher education and the graduate assistant for RamRide. In addition to the RamRide Food Ops and the Mobile Food Pantry, students, faculty and staff facing food insecurity have multiple resources through Rams Against Hunger, including a meal swipe program, access to six small food pantries across campus and the Ram Food Recovery Program. “We recognize that the high
cost of college is a large part contributing to (food insecurity), and so as a CSU community, we are looking for ways to help buffer that for students and to help them meet their basic needs,” Buttram said. “A student shouldn’t have to be hungry or experience any sort of housing insecurity just to go to college.” Serena Bettis can be reached at news@collegian.com.

CSU, Pride Lion Conservation Alliance partner for conference By Charlotte Lang @chartrickwrites
Colorado State University’s Warner College of Natural Resources hosted this year’s Pathways Conference in Limuru, Kenya, with the Pride Lion Conservation Alliance. Pathways: Human Dimensions of Wildlife is a “conference and training program designed to address the myriad issues that arise as people and wildlife struggle to coexist in a sustainable and healthy manner,” according to the conference’s website. Wes White, the communications coordinator for the department of human dimensions of natural resources, said the conference focuses on integrating human dimensions into fish and wildlife management. “All natural resource issues deal with humans now,” White said. “It
doesn’t matter what you’re talking about. It’s all people now.” Seeing social sciences as the way to unlock the door to solving complex problems is why the conference was originally started in 2008, White said. Michael Manfredo, Pathways Conference co-chair and head of the department of HDNR, said people in the department have a mission to empower people to explore and sustain their world. “This places a priority on understanding diverse perspectives and experiences,” Manfredo said. “Inclusion is critical to the success of enduring conservation outcomes.” The Pathways Conference embodies this mission by facilitating the transmission of broad-based scientific knowledge that can be used to improve wildlife conservation management, Manfredo said. This year’s conference focused on the theme of opening the door to
diverse voices. “Pathways Kenya will consider the individual and organizational change required to create an environment for innovative, long-lasting solutions to address the complex crises of biodiversity loss and climate change and their impacts across Africa,” according to the conference’s website. White said the Pride Lion Conservation Alliance is a group of six women conservation leaders. “They’re some of the largest names in conservation,” White said. “They’ve had some of the most astounding successes.” The partnership with Pride formed due to a preexisting work relationship between the department of HDNR and Leela Hazzah, the executive director and co-founder of Lion Guardians. “They saw the successes of our first conferences and asked if we’d be interested in a special edition of
pathways — diversity and inclusion within conservation,” White said. “It’s a huge issue. There’s a huge gap within conservation of underrepresented voices, particularly women and other ethnicities.” According to “Diversity and Inclusion in Natural Resources,” a video created by the department in 2018, 88% of environmental science jobs are held by Caucasians. Caucasians also account for 96% of conservation scientists. “That’s alarming because white people are not the only ones who care about the outdoors and nature,” White said. For this conference, Pride approached the department with the idea of holding a women-only leadership training beforehand. “That’s kind of where the thing started,” White said. “The training helped us hone the direction of the conference in trying to create a more inclusive environment. It’s not just
about gender equity, but about honoring all voices.” Out of all past Pathways Africa conferences, this one had the highest amount of African participation in terms of presenters. White said 73% of the presenters were African. “The credit for that goes to Pride for connecting with local conservancies and getting them engaged and involved,” White said. Students or anyone interested in the conference can see videos of speakers on the department’s YouTube page, as well as posts about the event on the department’s social media. Students are also encouraged to get involved if they’re interested in the conference or the department’s work, White said. “If people are passionate about this, they can join us,” White said. “We’re always looking for volunteers, so feel free to reach out.” Charlotte Lang can be reached at news@collegian.com.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF SLACKLINING TO TRY BY: RACHEL RASMUSSEN Slacklining is a sport or activity that is similar to walking on a tightrope. It utilizes balance, core strength and moving meditation (being aware of what you are feeling when your foot touches the ground as you walk) in order to get from one side of the nylon webbing to the other. The webbing is anchored on both sides, usually by trees, above the ground, but not pulled so tight to the point where there is no give to it. The activity originated around 40 years ago, but has experienced a massive growth in popularity over the past few years and has expanded to include variations of your typical slacklining: waterline, highline, trickline, yogaline and rodeoline.
Waterlining requires the webbing to be suspended over a body of water and is said to be more difficult than your standard slacklining because the movements of the water distort your visual sense of level ground.
Yogalining combines yoga and slacklining so that participants are performing yoga poses while on the slackline. This increases the level of difficulty and many slackliners practice some form of yogalining.
Highlining is typically done between two cliffs. Despite how extreme the location appears, highlining is actually very safe because each highline has backups for their backups to ensure that if someone does fall, the most they will experience is a brief swing in open air.
Rodeolining has been developed both as a way to train for highlining and as its own version of slacklining. The webbing typically holds no tension so that it forms a U shape across two anchor points. The lack of tension creates a different type of challenge for slackliners.
Tricklining involves a stretchy webbing that gives the line a trampoline effect. This allows people to use gymnastics and acrobatics to perform a series of tricks on the slackline.
CSU has an area behind Corbett Hall where people can try slacklining. But if you do want to slackline on campus or anywhere in Fort Collins, be sure to do your research on the rules that they have in place and try to practice leave-no-trace ethics.

RECREATIONAL GAMES TO PLAY WHEN THE WEATHER WARMS UP BY: LAURA STUDLEY
A GUIDE TO SPIKE BALL
It’s difficult to imagine fun outdoor games when there are piles of snow outside, but keep these recreational games in mind for when the weather gets warm.
Spike ball is a game for people who enjoy friendly competition and being outdoors. To start, make sure there is good tension for the net. Without this, the ball will not bounce as high. Determine a serving order that alternates between players from the two teams. Each team has up to three touches per possession. Roundnet is played using rally scoring. Points can be won by the serving or receiving team. Games are typically played to 11, 15 or 21. The rally ends and a point is awarded when: • The ball contacts the ground or otherwise isn’t returned onto the net within 3 touches. • The ball is hit directly into the rim at any time, including on a serve. • The ball bounces and falls back onto the net or rim. • The ball clearly rolls across the net. If the receiving team wins the point, the next designated player serves according to the sequence decided upon at the beginning of the round. Otherwise, the server switches places with their partner and serves to the other receiving team member. The receiving team sets their position first. The server stands 180 degrees across the designated receiver. Serves may be struck with any amount of force. Short serves are allowed.
HOW TO PLAY CORNHOLE Nothing says ‘summer’ like cornhole. A game of strategic throwing, cornhole is fun for everyone. It’s basically a bean bag toss competition… actually, that’s exactly what it is. To play, you need a total of eight bags and two cornhole boards. Traditionally, cornhole is played to 21 points. You are awarded three points if the bag goes through the hole and one point for bags that hit and remain on the board. Points are kept according to cancellation scoring. Here is an example scenario: During the first round, the Green Team gets one bag through the hole and two bags on the board, for a total of five points. The Purple Team gets two bags through the hole and one bag on the board, for a total of seven points. Instead of the score being Purple Team 7, Green Team 5, the Purple Team must subtract the Green Team’s five points from their score, giving them a total of two points. Therefore, the score would be Purple Team 2, Green Team 0 after that round. It should be noted that bags that hit the ground first and then slide onto the board do not count for any points. An optional rule is that you must get exactly 21 points in order to win, and if you go over your score is reduced to 11 points.

BY: RACHEL RASMUSSEN Bubble ball soccer is an exciting new twist on regular soccer. Players secure themselves into a giant inflatable ball with a harness and handles that are inside the ball. The inflatable ball allows players to hit and bounce off their opponents without fear of getting hurt as they fall to the ground. There is a company in Denver, Bump Soccer Denver, that rents out bubble ball soccer equipment to groups up to 30 for various events. If you want to try an activity to de-stress from life as a college student, consider bubble ball soccer.

HEAD TO HEAD
2020 Candidates: How Elizabeth Warren stacks up In the weeks leading up to Colorado’s primary, the opinion desk will be going head to head on individual candidates’ policy choices. We’ll be focusing on some of the issues we think will affect student lives and whether or not we think that individual candidate’s plan has what it takes. This week, two columnists are discussing Elizabeth Warren’s policies on the environment, education and immigration.
Elizabeth Warren is a bad choice for students Allie Huber @a11iehuber
Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by The Collegian or its editorial board. Environment: Elizabeth Warren is a strong advocate for the environment — her policy incorporates ideas from the Green New Deal, an ambitious proposal to combat climate change. Warren’s policy plans on America running on 100% clean energy, vehicles and buildings by 2030. For students who are concerned about climate change, Warren’s environmental policy is beneficial on the surface. However, according to Politico, it comes at a cost of $3 trillion with “an additional $1 trillion over 10 years.” This leaves us with the question of where she will find that money. According to CNBC, there was no specification of where the $1 trillion would come from, “though Warren’s original climate plan details reversing tax cuts for the country’s most wealthy through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.” Warren’s website does claim that $1 trillion will come from “reversing (Donald) Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires and giant corporations.” Another concern regarding Warren’s environmental policy is its longevity — if it’s going to succeed, it must continue after her term ends. President Trump has been successful at rolling back environmental regulations put in place by his predecessors, meaning a similar risk exists for any candidate’s long-term policies. For these reasons, Warren’s environmental policies aren’t the best for students. Education: Warren’s education policy is a key aspect of her campaign. She focuses largely on two areas: increased funding for public education and making college more affordable. Warren’s plans for public schools focus on providing additional funds to public schools and their employees, creating a more inclusive atmosphere and stopping the privatization of the U.S. school system. According to her website, Warren will spend “hundreds of billions of dollars (on) our public schools.” Warren also advocates for affordable higher education through student debt relief and free tuition at public universities. She calls for the cancellation of up to $50,000 in student debt for 42 million Americans. Her plan provides student loan relief depending on annual household income.

According to Warren’s website, debt cancellation in combination with WarAlexandra ren’s Universal Free College program will MacDonald cost the government approximately $1.25 trillion in the next decade.

to eliminate student loan debt of up to $50,000 for 42 million Americans. She plans to cover the cost in her Ultra-Millionaire Tax, which is a 2% annual tax on the 75,000 American families that have $50 million or more in wealth. Under this plan, anyone who makes under $100,000 would be eligible. However, anyone with an income over $250,000 would not be eligible for debt cancellation. Warren’s plan would also create a $50 billion aid package for historically black colleges and universities. Additionally, Warren’s policy will make way for students to enter a twoor four-year university without fear of paying tuition fees. She intends to make college “truly universal” and make higher education more inclusive of all races, not just a demographic that is socioeconomically stronger — something that would greatly benefit students. Immigration: Warren’s immigration policy is centered around “a fair and welcoming immigration system.” She positions herself clearly against Donald Trump’s current policies and stances as an introduction to hers, stating that “He’s advanced a policy of cruelty and division that demonizes immigrants.” Warren’s first step is removing abusive enforcement of the current policy. Warren said crossing the border without authorized permission has been a criminal offense and has been used to host a massive detention facility. Illegal immigration violations have made up just over half of criminal prosecutions in 2016. Warren’s intention for immigration reform is to end all criminal prosecution and “to refocus our limited resources on actual criminals.” Warren intends to separate common law enforcement from immigration enforcement in order to alleviate fear of tearing communities apart. Warren speaks on how people are less willing to report crimes for fear of stating their citizenship status. Ending programs like 287(g) will prevent cops from acting on “additional” duties such as immigration enforcement so they can focus on maintaining the security of their communities. She also plans to remake Customs and Border Protections and Immigration and Customs Enforcement and hold them to the same due process as other law enforcement agencies. Warren hopes to reform Homeland Security and change the process “from top to bottom.” Warren’s plans are a great option for students that seek to help other people reach success.

SERIOUSLY
Socialism is extremely offensive to introverts By Ethan Vassar @ethan_vassar
Editor’s Note: This is a satire piece from The Collegian’s opinion section. Real names and the events surrounding them may be used in fictitious/semi-fictitious ways. Those who do not read the editor’s notes are subject to being off ended. As most people whose parents pay for their college tuition would agree upon, socialism is bad. Socialism not only doesn’t explicitly benefit the straight white man, but it’s exactly — exactly — the same thing as communism. As we all know, communism equals no food (take a moment to laugh), and thus the same arguments and critiques can be applied to socialism.
However, there is one reality of socialism that has not been explored: the fact that it, at its core, is offensive to introverts. Introverts have been an unsurprisingly silent minority for years and have hardly voted in any election due to their preference for little social interaction. Despite the history of introverts, the democratic socialist platform that Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders is running on has driven many introverts to register as members of the Republican Party. This is just another case of how socialism is detrimental to society. However, we should not let the abomination that is socialism distract from the actions of these brave men and women. Understandably, all in-
troverts declined to be interviewed, so all of the quotes below, like a lot of the information that their soon-to-be fellow Donald Trump voters attest to, are made up.
“Socialism not only doesn’t explicitly benefit the straight white man, but it’s exactly — exactly — the same thing as communism.” “I hardly talk to anyone; I haven’t been to the doctor in years because I’m too afraid to even make the phone call,” is something that an introvert
might say. “My parents stopped making the calls for me once I turned 40.” This is a reality for many introverts. Many haven’t been to the doctor or dentist in years. The fact that Sanders is proposing healthcare as a right threatens their current livelihood. Healthcare being free, or at least cheaper, would give introverts no excuse not to get medical care. If the United States were to become — God forbid — a socialist country, the eating habits of many introverts would also be threatened. “I’m too scared of ordering any kind of food in person or even going to the grocery store,” is something else an introvert might say. “So I have to
Postmates and Uber Eats all my meals.” Obviously, this refers to how in socialist and communist nations food is scarce and has been observed to literally evaporate and disappear. In a socialist country, there would be no surplus food for food delivery services like Postmates and Uber Eats to exist. This all just illustrates how socialism will never work in America. Even if it didn’t make food disappear or offend introverts, the fact of the matter is that Americans will likely let themselves suffer from millions in medical bills before seeing their blessed country fall into the jaws of socialism.

CSU women’s hockey set for WWCHL regionals after senior night By Ryan Loberger @LobergerRyan
Change is inevitable, but the memories that come flooding back when a change occurs create a strong sense of nostalgia for what was and what will no longer be. The Colorado State women’s hockey team has endured many changes this season: new players, a new coaching staff, players leaving and a more balanced conference to compete in. “It’s been an unbelievable year,” head coach Troy Watts said. “(Assistant coach) Rachel (Bellio) and I both have an extreme love for all these players. ... It’s amazing how much you come to love these players in the span of two months, but now we’re eight months into it, and it’s that much better.” On an emotional Saturday night, the Rams honored those
who have changed their program for the better as they celebrated the graduation of three seniors on their senior night. It was an emotional affair for the team and their three seniors, Katie Hurley, Stephanie Talone and Kristen Perry. “This is the best group of girls,” Talone said, “They’re not only teammates, but they’re life companions. Even though I’ll stop playing hockey, I know that they’ll have my back for the rest of my life.” This trio of seniors have had quite the season for the Rams, combining for 60 points scored, but the impact these three players have had on this program goes beyond the stat sheet. “When I’ve got one of my seniors crying and coming to give us a big hug, that says that we have created that bond, that this year meant something to her, as it does us,” Watts said. “You just hope they had a mem-
orable time in the time we were able to spend together.” The strength of the bonds formed over the years of playing together makes it difficult to accept the fact that they won’t be taking the ice in CSU uniform next season. “Your senior night is surreal in the moment,” Bellio said. “Your parents come out. ... It’s very emotional then. It is hard to flip that switch, but you have your whole team backing you up, wanting to be there for you.” The time does come where the emotions must be put in check, as there is a game to be played. CSU’s senior night was originally set for Feb. 7, but due to an availability issue with DU’s goalie, the game was rescheduled for Feb. 22. “I think we’ve prepared ourselves (for this),” Hurley said. “We knew it was going to be emotional. It’s been an emotional couple weeks leading up
to (this). ... We do understand that this is also a game at hand, and we need to take a step back, refocus and play.” Sending the seniors out in their last home game at Edora Pool and Ice Center with a win was the plan, but the University of Denver had something else in mind. The Rams had defeated Denver 5-3 on DU’s senior night back on Feb. 8, and the Pioneers decided to return the favor on Saturday night. Denver beat the Rams 4-2 thanks to a big third period, scoring three unanswered goals to steal the victory. However, the season isn’t over for the Rams. CSU will now head to Salt Lake City for the 2020 Western Women’s Collegiate Hockey League playoffs. As the third seed, the Rams will face Arizona State University and rival University of Colorado Boulder.
The winner of the regional tournament will secure a bid in the 2020 ACHA Women’s D1 National Tournament in Dallas. Having reached the semifinals last season and regionals every year of the program’s existence, the Rams feel they have the experience and the pedigree to make it over the hump this year. “Any team can win on any day,” Perry said. “I know we’re going in hungry. We’ve worked really hard this year. We got a new coach and some new team members. ... The scores at the beginning of the year don’t (reflect) the team we are now.” CSU’s games for the fourteam WWCHL tournament will occur on Feb. 28 against ASU and Feb. 29 against CU, and the games will be streamed on YouTube on Utah’s channel.

Nocturnus >> from page 1 “We want to have a space that feels very collaborative because a lot of markets are same-same; it’s about filling space and not creating an experience, and we really want to change that,” Furmanek said. “We want it to be a fun thing to go to, where vendors want to be a part of it, and people attending are excited to go.” While many markets these days feel bland and monotonous, with lacking variety and creativity, Nocturnus is looking to create a space for a variety of art in all forms. “The one thing that’s really frustrating about markets is you’ve got like seven jewelry makers and maybe one other person who does something else,” Moore said. Variety in vendors is a priority for Moore and Furmanek, and they are looking to cultivate an experi-
ence that provides a medley of all art forms, including music, poetry and more. “Anyone who is creative in any sense is welcome,” Furmanek said. “We want something that is unique, bold and modern, not something you see at every place. We really want to reach those artists that are creating but maybe not out there. We want to reach as many makers and creators as possible to keep our market fresh.” Nocturnus Night Market will serve the needs of all vendors both artistically and financially. As artists, Furmanek and Moore understand that no one wants to deal with the costly booth prices of most markets to barely break even. Oftentimes the unfair burden of supporting the event is on vendors. To avoid this, Nocturnus Night Market is placing the priority on affordability over profit. Due to the emphasis on creative collaboration, the market provides an affordable opportunity for artists to sell their work and for creatives of all kinds
to come together without breaking the bank. Plant healer and friend of the founders Ashley Noack shared why she is going to be a vendor at the first market. “We’ve shared a journey together in becoming self-sufficient creatives, and I feel both very supported in sharing my art form as a plant healer and wanting to offer my support for the space that they’re creating and sharing with our community,” Noack said. The first market will be taking place at Mugs Coffee Lounge in Old Town on Friday, March 6. Further plans for future events will be evaluated after the first market. ■ To apply to be a vendor or learn

Carole King’s story of triumph over tragedy accompanied with the timeless free-flowing music of the 1970s carries a mood that will leave audiences of all ages with a song in their hearts. On Feb. 27-29, The Lincoln Center will present “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical” in hopes of uniting generations over the singer-songwriter’s inspiring tale and popular tunes from the golden age of music. “(The show) tells her biographical story by using songs that she wrote,” said Lincoln Center Executive Director Jack Rogers. “(It) tells the story of how she got the job (in the music industry), how she met all these famous people and wrote songs for them and, eventually, how she finds the confidence in herself to leave the abusive relationship she was in and go out west.” King is known for her popular 1971 release “Tapestry,” but she also wrote a lot of the quintessential songs of her time period, working with industry giants such as The Chiffons and writing songs such as “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.” “It takes all of these great songs from the American cultural songbook and stages them,” Rogers said. “What I love about it is that you’ll get something else from each audience. Some audiences want to sing along with every word because they know and love these songs.” According to Rogers, the happy-go-lucky music of the 1970s is not the only uniting factor of the

He believes theater is one of the last uniting mediums in an age of vast ideological gaps between generations. “These songs still speak to a wide spectrum of people,” Rogers said. “There’s absolutely a nostalgia value to them, but also songs like ‘I Feel the Earth Move’ and ‘(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman’ resonate continuously.
