Survivor proposes mural idea that commemorates women in construction and beyond By Laura Studley @laurastudley_

Editor’s Note: Names of survivors have been replaced by pseudonyms to ensure their safety and privacy. The accused and other sources are referenced by their given names. After the multiple allegations leveled against former Colorado State University professor Ronald Holt, survivor Lacey Mitchell is taking a stand against her perpetrator. Mitchell, a former student of Holt’s, has begun the process of attempting to put a mural up in the building he previously taught in. “I have this ongoing fantasy that I’m going to see women start putting their handprints on the wall, and I’m just going to start crying,” Mitchell said. “It feels like we’re getting to the end of this really long journey.” Mitchell hopes that her mural will be placed on the wall where Holt’s mural once stood. There were a total of three murals Holt had painted — one dating back to August 2010 and two from 2011. After a request was placed on Oct. 27, 2020, Holt’s murals were painted over on Nov. 10, 2020, a day before The Collegian published an investigative piece about Holt. There were plans to paint and patch the three walls since last spring, but with COVID-19, the project got pushed back, according to CSU Police Department Public Information Officer Dell Rae Ciaravola. “The walls were painted over as part of routine maintenance for the area, including a renovation of a nearby classroom,” Ciaravola wrote in a statement to The Collegian. “Again, the walls had not been painted for about 10 years, and they are in high traffic areas. We do not have a paperwork order for the request; we believe those conversations took place in person.” see MURAL on page 4 >>

This week in ASCSU: Executive payroll debate, funding bills By Ceci Taylor @cecelia_twt

The 11th meeting of the 50th Associated Students of Colorado State University senate contained debate around a payroll incident regarding the executive branch. The senate also discussed new legislation that would regulate pay raises within ASCSU, a commitment to democracy and social justice and bills regarding Rams Against Hunger and RamRide. Payroll issue Madeleine Smith, ASCSU Supreme Court associate justice, spoke about a ruling made regarding an issue involving payroll in the executive branch. According to statements made online and over email, ASCSU President Hannah Taylor gave members of the executive branch a raise. The funds for the raise came out of the budget approved by the senate. “These funds are not considered additional funds nor are they redistribution between departments, which would require senate approval,” Smith said. “Therefore, use of discretionary payroll funds does not require senate approval provided that the provisions of opinion 4001 are followed.” Smith said the Supreme Court ultimately ruled that Taylor was within her rights to issue the raise. Jasper Sloss, ASCSU chief of staff, also commented on the pay-

roll ruling made by Taylor. Sloss said the discretionary payroll was used to give cabinet members a raise because members had lost multiple pay periods while the same work was required. COVID-19 caused the elections to be delayed, so members were not compensated for time lost. “Their pay has not changed with minimum wage increases, higher cost of living nor inflation,” Sloss said. “And we want to compensate for the volunteer work that was done all through winter break. So we did it with discretionary payroll, which was sitting there for that purpose and that purpose alone.” Sloss said that the executive cabinet wants to continue to serve students and make decisions best for the CSU community. Taylor clarified that she asked the Supreme Court whether or not she could specifically use funds that were allocated in payroll discretionary and funds that were left over. She said she showed them what funds were leftover. “We’re not trying to take leftover (funds) from my position nor from a different position within the cabinet,” Taylor said. “We’re keeping that consistent, and payroll discretionary is just filling in the gaps to make sure everyone gets that increase.” Taylor said she would be happy to send the spreadsheet to whoever wants it and said the executive

branch plans to release a statement to the student body soon. Payroll accountability bill From the backlash created by the executive branch’s decision for a pay raise, Speaker Pro Tempore Tristan Reyez presented a bill that would hold the executive branch accountable in the future. Reyez said that every advisor, accountant and Student Affairs official he has met with have all stated that the decision to increase payroll for the executive branch and the judicial branch was unethical. “It’s not against the constitution and the bylaws to do so, it’s not illegal against a policy, but ethically, pay increases without the approval of the senate and without legislation, in my opinion, is wrong,” Reyez said. Reyez said that the bill, if passed, will stop the executive branch from using the funds allocated before the 50th Senate was seated. Reyez said the bill will task Taylor, Budget Committee Chair Gemma Buhaenko and ASCSU accountant Bailey Dinsdale to create a process to regulate pay increases. “The process will be in the form of a constitutional amendment in the form of a bill or a lex,” Reyez said. “It also states that the bill must be heard on the floor of the senate and must be voted on by a specific date as outlined in the legislation. This process must be implemented to prevent further

pay increases without detailed documented procedures.” Reyez said he does not believe the executive branch is taking advantage of student fees to get more money but also said that it’s more important to work for students than to get a paycheck. “Students have a right to know how their student fees are being used,” Reyez said. “And if it’s going to payroll and that’s approved by the senate, that is more than fair because students have an opportunity to go through the process, go to committee, come here and speak.” Senator Kyle Hill spoke against the bill and said it’s an insult to the work the executive branch has done. “I would strongly urge a no

vote on this so we can keep our message of unity and show that we trust the executive branch and that they should trust us,” Hill said. “These divisions are going on too long, and it’s really bringing our organization to shambles.” Reyez pointed out that the bill was not meant to divide the executive branch and the legislative branch but would hold them accountable for pay increases in the future. The bill was simply made to implement a process so future mistakes aren’t made, Reyez said. The bill was sent to the Internal and Budgetary Affairs committees. Read more at collegian.com.

CSU experts take stock of the Biden administration’s future By Isaiah Dennings @isaiah_dennings

With a new presidential administration one week into their term, questions still remain on what the next four years will look like for federal policymakers. Colorado State University’s political science and communications departments held a webinar on Jan. 26 to answer questions and explain what policies and changes people should expect to see with President Joe Biden’s new administration. The webinar was planned and coordinated by Jennifer Hitt, the communications and alumni coordinator for the department of political science, along with Beth Etter, the director of communications for the College of Liberal Arts. The webinar featured a panel of several experts from within CSU’s political science, economics, journalism and communications departments. Moderated by

College of Liberal Arts Dean Ben Withers, the webinar began with each panelists’ insight into what trends to expect from the Biden administration. Journalism and Media Communication Assistant Professor Tori Arthur spoke on the media politics of the Biden administration. “I think one of the biggest challenges facing the Biden-Harris administration will be how it crafts messages related to the racial equity initiatives that we’ve seen coming out of the White House over the last week,” Arthur said. Arthur said these victories with executive orders are to be celebrated, but there needs to be better media communication in the plan to solidify these changes into actual law. “Journalists have noted, over the last six days, details on how the administration plans to approach working with a narrow margin in Congress to pass what they’re calling ‘bold legislation that

advances racial equity’ have been pretty light, and unfortunately, no heavier details came out of today’s announcements or press briefings,” Arthur said. The fact that executive orders are not permanent means there must be a plan to get these ideas through Congress, Arthur said. Political Science Associate Professor Matthew Hitt presented his expertise with knowledge of American institutions and, in particular, the use of the executive order. Matthew Hitt talked on how the use of the executive order was how the Trump administration achieved most of its accomplishments but also how there are concerns about the durability of the executive order. “Durable policy happens through Congress, so I am keeping a keen eye on that,” Matthew Hitt said. Matthew Hitt also touched on the COVID-19 relief bill being a major topic of conversation going

into the Biden administration and the debate on if the Senate will repeal the filibuster from their rules of operation. Karrin Anderson, a communication studies professor and director of graduate studies in the department, focused on gender-related issues in politics. “The greatest challenge to Biden, related to women and politics and gender and politics, would be a combination of high expectations on the left and potential backlash from the right,” Anderson said. Anderson described the achievements that have already been made for gender equity in government work. As a part of the Biden administration, Kamala Harris is the first woman and woman of color in the vice presidency, and an openly transgender woman is now the assistant secretary to the Department of Health and Human Services. “Despite the fact that Biden is an older cisgender white male, he’s

bringing a lot of change in terms of his administration — when it comes to gender and politics, there’s going to be a huge tonal shift in the White House,” Anderson said. Eric Fattor, an expert on international security, political theory and the global political media and instructor in the department of political science, discussed that “rescuing the foreign policy from the damage of Donald Trump and placing the United States back at the head of the liberal world order” will be the main focus of Biden’s foreign policy. Included in that is how the U.S. should conduct global pandemic efforts, respond to climate change and adapt efforts in fighting terrorism. With such a drastic shift in ideologies between the Trump administration and the Biden administration, many changes across the political spectrum are yet to come.

Congressional deal gives $23 billion to higher education By Natalie Weiland @natgweiland

Congress passed a $900 billion COVID-19 relief package delegating $23 billion in funds to higher education-related causes last December. An analysis from Inside Higher Ed details the specifics of the deal, which allows for changes to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid process, shortening the application from 108 to 36 questions and providing new requirements for Pell Grant eligibility. Further, up to $1.3 billion in capital loans owed by historically Black colleges and universities will be forgiven by the federal government. The bill was passed by both chambers of Congress in late December 2020. According to The Associated Press, the stimulus package also covered a variety of oth-

er needs within the economy, ployees’ student loans tax free colleges and universities, acsuch as temporary benefits for for another five years, accord- cording to American Council unemployed people and pro- ing to Inside Higher Ed.

As for the possibility of more aid in the future, Mitchell remains optimistic. “We strongly urge the (Joe) Biden administration and the new Congress to provide sufficient additional COVID-19 assistance for students and institutions in the new year, and we stand ready to work with the administration and lawmakers to get this done,” he said in the statement.

We need to redefine academic integrity during remote learning By Cat Blouch @BlouchCat

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. COVID-19 has left a lot of collateral damage in its wake, one instance of which being academic integrity. As universities and students alike struggle to adjust to an online learning environment, a stronger emphasis is placed on endurance rather than optimization of the learning experience. It isn’t difficult to imagine the rise in opportunities for students to cheat in the online arena given that cheating was already a cause for concern before the pandemic.

GPAs are the ones cheating the most. It makes more sense for the narative to shift from blaming students when they don’t fall in line with the traditional definition of academic integrity to one that acknowledges the new learning environment. If universities are aware that students are cheating, perhaps it would be more beneficial for both the institution and the students if they encouraged teamwork and open-note tests — at least for as long as we are in an online learning environment. Students should not be penalized for not meeting the unrealistic expectations of academic integrity that was based on a framework of learning that no longer applies to the remote world. Instead of cheating being the elephant in the room, universities could accept that collaboration and the utilization of resources is inevitable and shift the perspective around academic integrity from the ground up.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

CSU needs more reflection spaces By Guest Author @CSUCollegian

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. Letters to the Editor reflect the view of a member of the campus community and are submitted to the publication for approval. As a young adult traversing college, the thought of taking a moment to breathe seems irresistible yet impossible. With heavy workloads, financial hardships and enticing social outings, saving time to replenish mental capacities ranks low on the list of things to do for most college students. It is even more difficult when resources are limited or not easily accessible.

“Even if CSU is unable to offer intervention sessions, there is an opportunity to make use of space available on campus for individual growth.”

Colorado State University currently offers reflection rooms in four buildings across campus: the Lory Student Center, the CSU Health and Medical Center, the Michael Smith Natural Resources Building and the Morgan Library. These rooms are intended for prayer, reflection or meditation

but should be expanded upon to include materials for students to partake in other mindful activities, and they should be introduced into more buildings on campus. Colorado State University students, like most university students, are subject to stress during their time here. Common coping mechanisms reported by college students include drinking, consumption of unhealthy foods, lower physical activity and use of tobacco products. Although these coping mechanisms are not all inherently bad, they do not always indicate a healthy lifestyle. Finding a way to disengage with unhealthy life choices or risky behaviors in order to cope with stress or anxiety in a productive way could lead the student body to be more academically successful. In a previous survey, researchers found that 15.6% of undergraduates were likely to have depression or anxiety disorders. CSU students are just as susceptible to these statistics as other college students across the country and therefore require adequate resources promoting healthy mental and physical behaviors. Not only could these spaces improve the mental well-being of students but also their physical health. Recurring stress in the human body has shown to have effects on physical health, such as cardiovascular problems. Additional spaces around campus would provide an excellent way for the university to promote healthy lifestyles. For example, a 2009 study on the implementation of yoga, humor and reading to reduce acute stress in college students improved the well-being for students involved in these intervention groups. Even if CSU is unable to offer intervention sessions, there is an opportunity to make use of space available on campus for more calm reflection.

The use of a reflection and meditation app at Arizona State University showed decreases in stress and increased mindfulness and self-compassion. I have had great results in simply following breathing activities in a quiet place to reduce stress during a busy day on campus. Increasing available spaces for students to unwind and reflect during a hectic day on campus could have the same effect other universities have seen in their efforts to decrease stress and anxiety for their students. Understanding that simply suggesting CSU provide more reflection areas to better the well-being of students does not take into consideration the financial burden of the matter. The cost of implementing more intervention groups or hiring counselors can come with a pretty hefty price tag. Fortunately, dedicating space to more reflection rooms around campus and allowing students to choose for themselves what the best outlet is to reflect through is much more sustainable regarding cleaning measures, and it’s cost-effective in providing minimal outside resources that the University doesn’t already have access to. The opportunity CSU could have in providing students with ample resources for reflection, meditation, yoga, prayer, etc. would positively impact the student body, decreasing anxiety and unhealthy coping mechanisms for the stress that comes along with being a college student in today’s world.

KEEPIN’ BUSY SKIING & SNOWBOARDING CLOSE TO HOME By Christina Johnson Remote learning has created gaps of time in many students’ schedules to fill with exciting activities that promote a healthier lifestyle while still adhering to public health safety standards. Take advantage of Colorado’s natural areas and activities by considering these mountains for your first or next adventure.

Where to go

The Ikon pass has properties around the globe and includes some Colorado favorites like Arapahoe Basin, Aspen, Snowmass, Buttermilk, Copper Mountain, Eldora, Steamboat and Winter Park. ikonpass.com

In addition to Vail, the company owns resorts and ski areas around the globe. Some of the closest in Colorado include Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Crested Butte with special access to Telluride. epicpass.com

Snowy Range is an affordable option that is close to Fort Collins and nearly $100 less than Aspen or Vail. More options that are off of both the Epic and Ikon passes include Echo Mountain, Loveland Ski Area and Seven Utes.

Getting there

Most trips can be made in a single day, but that assumes you have a car or a friend with one. If you want to save gas or sleep on your way, SkiSU is the way to go. SkiSU is the CSU ski bus that provides round-trip transportation between CSU and a designated ski resort for $20 per student. This bus requires reservation and runs once or twice each weekend. More information at pts.colostate.edu/skisu.

COVID Safety Be sure to reserve tickets before leaving to the mountain. Maximum capacities have been reduced and only a limited number of people are allowed at a time to limit crowds. Check out the resort website to keep up to date. SkiSU is also capping each bus trip to 24 students to limit exposure. Trips can also be canceled with full refund due to public health concerns.

‘Races Don’t Lie’: Rams cross-country dominates early >> from page 1 By Scott Nies @scott_nies98

Frigid temperatures, skin whipped red from the wind and dual first place finishes for the men’s and women’s Colorado State University cross-country programs were the results of Saturday’s snow-ridden 3.73-mile meet against the University of Wyoming. For the Rams, it was their first cross-country meet since the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s regional competition in November 2019. Too much time off can often be a ticking time bomb for teams, but for head coach Art Siemers, it was an opportunity to build the program’s strength rather than wait for rust to form. “When I knew we were not going to have a fall season in late summer, I felt it was important to have something to train for in October so we could get in a shortened cycle of training,” Siemers wrote in an email to The Collegian. “The shortened training cycle allowed us to take a longer break and a better base mileage buildup going into the winter season.” Considering the men’s and women’s teams occupied eight of the top 10 finishers in both of their respective races, Siemers’ athletes are looking as confident as ever as they get back into competition. Running unattached, out of eligibility for cross-country and awaiting his final outdoor track and field season for the Rams, All-American Eric Hamer finished first in the dual. But it was uniformed finishers Thomas Chaston, Tanner Norman and fifth-place finisher Jacob Brueckman who solidified the men’s victory for CSU. “A race never really lies,” redshirt sophomore Chaston said in an interview. “You can do as much as you want in training but when it comes to race day, races don’t lie.” Chaston’s words ring true, but perhaps his final time of 18:10.2 gives even more insight into the impressive nature of the Ram victory. Chaston’s strong start to the season earned him the men’s Mountain West Cross-Country Athlete of the Week honors, just the most recent accolade this men’s team has acquired. Picked to win the men’s division of the Mountain West Conference in the preseason polls and currently ranked 20th in the nation by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross-Country Coaches Association poll, the Rams are poised to improve on 2019’s 11th place finish at the men’s NCAA

@CSUCollegian

Mountain Regional meet. But anyone that runs cross-country will tell you that although you may be timing the individual, this is undoubtedly a team sport. When competition was not promised, this program turned inwards to find the motivation to keep pushing. “There’s just been so many days where somebody’s not feeling it, … and you’re just not sure if you even want to be out there running today,” redshirt junior Lily Tomasula-Martin said. “Then you see all your teammates doing it, and it’s like, ‘Well, if they’re doing it and they can stay positive, then I need to stay positive and keep doing it.’” The need for positivity as a driving factor was clearly not an issue this weekend as the CSU women were equally ready for the challenge. Tomasula-Martin finished first in the women’s race with a time of 21:17.5, followed by Rams Lauren Offerman, Sarah Carter and fifthplace finisher Ivy Gonzales. Due to the Rams’ dominating start to the year, it could be assumed that there will be mounting pressure to perform as the season continues, but for the athletes, the pressure is put far to the wayside in favor of one thing: gratitude. “I just felt really grateful that we had this opportunity,” Tomasula-Martin said. “I think that it’s easy to get really mixed up in a bunch of pressure, hoping to do the best, or exceeding everybody’s expectation, but I think really what it came down to for me was just feeling really happy that I even had an opportunity to put on the singlet and spikes and just get out there and race because that hasn’t been something that we’ve been able to do.” Chaston expressed a similar sentiment, “It started to feel real again.” To love your sport and embrace its struggles day-in and day-out, especially when future opportunities for competition are uncertain, is a daunting line to teeter on as an athlete and an important factor to consider as a coach. According to Tanner Norman, the Rams’ second uniformed finisher in the men’s race, “Siemers did a really good job of keeping us engaged and getting us to continue through and cycle through the fall as if it was a regular season.” This meet could not come soon enough for Norman as it was his first opportunity to don the green and gold for the cross-country program after transferring from Iowa State University in January 2019. “There is a sense of pride when you get to put the uniform on and you get to go line up with your teammates,” Norman said. “It was a cool feeling, and I’ve been waiting a while to get to do that.” Comparing the differences between the Cyclones and the Rams, Norman talked about the “individual liberty” Siemers gives the athletes. For Siemers, the reasoning behind this stems from his own experiences as a collegiate runner. “I ran in college under a very micromanaged coaching style,

11

and it tended to zap my love of the sport,” Siemers wrote. Finding athletes with a true love for distance running while simultaneously buying into a team-first atmosphere is at the heart of Siemers’ coaching philosophy. “The mentality that working with your teammates to help them improve will also get you to the finish line fast,” Siemers wrote. “It starts in the recruiting process, trying to find athletes that buy into the team-first approach.” A strong team environment will be all the more valuable as the Rams head into a shortened season for the rest of their spring. “The biggest difference is normally you qualify for nationals at regionals, and this year there is no regionals competition, so it comes down to our conference meet,” Tomasula-Martin said. Luckily for the Rams, their conference meet will not be on an unfamiliar course. The Rams will compete in the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Invitational on Feb. 19, which will be the same course for the Mountain West Conference Championship meet two weeks later. “Generally, we’ve been pretty strong at conference, so I think it’s just reaffirming that we know we’re able run well at conference and we just need to do it again,” Tomasula-Martin said. Siemers is confident looking toward the rest of the season but not without caution. Knowing the unpredictability that shadows sports during COVID-19, Siemers praised the improvement of the squad and awareness to the importance of having depth in a season like this. “We drastically improved our pack split, and we did our homework over the last year,” Siemers said. “With all the uncertainty with COVID-19 and contact tracing, depth could be more important this year.” Scott Nies can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

10 punk tracks to cope with our crumbling democracy

QUICK AND EASY FIVE MINUTE MEALS

By Anna Meiser

As college students it can be hard to dedicate long stretches of time to cooking, especially on days with shorter breaks between classes or work. If you’re low on time try these quick-and-easy five-minute meals.

5 Minute

VEGAN TACOS Ingredients: 1 tbsp cooking oil 1 cup mushrooms, chopped 1/4 onion, diced 1/2 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed 1 tbsp taco seasoning 4 taco shells 1 cup shredded lettuce 1/4 cup canned corn, drained 1/4 cup salsa GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION BY ABBY FLITTON THE COLLEGIAN

Whether it’s watching the federal government fumble handling the pandemic like a newborn giraffe trying to play football, your Aunt Lisa getting slowly drawn into the rampant conspiracies of QAnon or the lifeless dread of scrolling through your super left-leaning friend’s anti-voting rants on their Instagram story, it’s indisputable that 2020 was filled with a steaming heap of bureaucratic incompetence with a side of corruption. Luckily for us, generations of punks saw this coming and had the insight to create an entire genre for you to channel your frustration into an impromptu mosh pit in your living room. Grab your roommates, local car dealership tube man, arthritic cat or just your sad, lonesome self, and get ready to bang your head until the pain goes away. 1. ‘Rise Above’ by Black Flag Starting off with a classic, Black Flag’s “Rise Above” is a high-energy protest song just vague enough to apply to any political issue. “Rise Above” is a great introduction to punk in general, featuring all the bells and whistles, including pick slides, fast-paced guitars and drum fills signature to the ‘80s hardcore sound. 2. ‘Red, White & Brainwashed’ by Anti-Flag “Red, White & Brainwashed” is just one of the many Anti-Flag tracks from 25 years ago that still tackles relevant issues. The song is a critique of American nationalism as a tactic of manipulation, draw-

ing parallels to the Nazi party. 3. ‘F*ck You Donald Trump’ by Sharptooth This song is hardcore through and through, with Lauren Kashan’s screeching vocals gnashing through the mix like a rabid dog. Many songs carry the same name, but none embody the rage that comes from listening to the incoherent ramblings of reality TV star Donald Trump so well. 4. ‘The Only Good Fascist Is A Very Dead Fascist’ by Propagandhi The bouncy, gritty bass of this song will have you bobbing your head along in seconds. Plainly anti-racist and inclusive lyrics make sure you won’t have to stop and think to yourself, “Wait, is this homophobic or not?” 5. ‘Nazi Punks F*ck Off’ by Dead Kennedys A quintessential Dead Kennedys track, “Nazi Punks F*ck Off” puts it plain and simple, right there in the name. Though it doesn’t feature the witty and satirical lyrics found in many Dead Kennedys songs, “Nazi Punks F*ck Off” was meant to communicate a simple message: The punk community rejects intolerance and bigotry despite its loud and sometimes violent nature. 6. ‘Protest and Survive’ by Discharge A precursor to modern metal and the punk subgenre D-beat, “Protest and Survive” is propelled forward in every beat through a driving, distorted layer of guitars so deep in the mix, it’s almost indistinguishable from the accompanying bass. This heavy track embodies the spirit of metal while featuring more approachable punk vocals. 7. ‘Freedumb’ by Suicidal Tendencies

“Freedumb” is the title track of Suicidal Tendencies’ 1999 album that features their signature skate punk and thrash crossover sound. The song mocks one of the vague token words used to display American values we’ve all heard a million times from politicians, nationalists or both. 8. ‘Fight Back’ by Big Boys “Fight Back” opens with the slow groove of this song’s leading bass line overlaid with a slow burning vocalization that walks the line between growl and scream. The song alternates from this powerful but slow section into a raw, classic hardcore sound, complete with call and response vocals and speedy guitar riffs, giving the track a nice balance that lends itself to both listening and moshing. 9. ‘Big Take Over’ by Bad Brains This Bad Brains track provides a little variety to the mix, both in the abstract tonalities of the guitar in the intro and solo, and lead singer Paul Hudson’s distinctive vocals that bob up and down, showcasing his vocal range. The track appears on their 1982 self-titled album, a popular LP among punk fans and “the best punk/ hardcore album of all time,” according to Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch. 10. ‘Anarchy Burger (Hold the Government)’ by The Vandals OK, I’ll be honest, the main reason this song is listed here is that I think the title is hilarious. The song pokes fun at the utopian idea of anarchy that some punks have idealized, imagining a world where you can piss on deli cheese and swear in front of your mom.

Clean the mushrooms and chop into 1/4-inch slices, dice the onion, and mash the chickpeas using a fork or food processor. Set your pan over medium heat and add oil. Once warm, carefully add in the mushrooms and onions and cook until they are both lightly browned. Add in the chickpeas and taco seasoning. Mix well. If mixture looks dry, gradually add water (about 1 tbsp) until desired consistency. Mix evenly, adding more water if needed. Cover pan and let simmer until thoroughly heated. Take this time to shred your lettuce and prepare your corn and salsa for assembly. Once cooked, remove pan from heat and begin creating your taco. Add shredded lettuce to the taco shell before adding the chickpea and mushroom filling. Top with corn and salsa.

Tip: What’s the best meat substitute mushroom? The best mushroom to use as a meat substitute depends on the type of meat you are replacing. Portobello, crimini, and baby bella mushrooms make excellent beef substitutes. Criminis, baby bellas, and white button mushrooms do great in replacing chicken, and shiitake mushrooms fill in wonderfully for pork, turkey or duck.

5 MINUTE

sandwich melts Ingredients: Two slices of your favorite bread Your choice of several deli meats Sliced tomato (optional) 2 or more slices of your go-to cheese 1/2 tbsp butter

Butter the outside of both pieces of bread evenly. Slap your preferred quantity of deli meats and cheeses into the middle of the sandwich (add tomato slices if desired). Once the sandwich has been assembled with the buttered sides facing out, sear the sandwich on both sides in a pan on medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown.

Tip: Easily make this sandwich melt vegetarian

by leaving out the meat and making it a cheese and tomato melt. Get creative by adding your favorite sautéed vegetables to the melt.

2) You don’t have enough piercings to begin with
