ASCSU approves 2 candidates to run for speaker of the senate By Ceci Taylor @cecelia_twt

During an emergency meeting of the 50th senate of the Associated Students of Colorado State University, senators discussed the upcoming election and the two candidates for the 51st speaker of the senate position. Elections Manager Morgan May presented the candidates for ratification “The candidates must be presented during the first week of campaigning to the senate and receive an individual vote of confidence for their candidacy by a one-third vote,” May said. The first candidate, Senator Kyle Hill, spoke about his experience as a senator that qualifies him to run as a candidate. “During this time, I have written one resolution and three bills,” Hill said. “So I understand how the whole bill writing process works. … I’ve read the elections code, and I have read the entire constitu-

tion, … and based on that and on my reasoning and understanding of parliamentary procedure, I believe that makes me qualified to run.” Hill said he’s made mistakes with certain procedures in the past, but promised to continue reading the government documents to make sure he can get it right. Hill said he would be comfortable making sure the senate remains inclusive and diverse. “I have no tolerance for any ad hominem attacks; I have no tolerance for any discrimination,” Hill said. “I will make sure we can have a safe and secure space here.” The second candidate, Senator Miles Robinson, spoke about his experience and his ability to do the job well. “I’ve been a part of the space for well over a year now,” Robinson said. “I’ve seen the position of the speaker as the presiding officer, and I’ve seen that done well, and I’ve seen that done poorly, and so I think I have an understanding of what it means to do that job well.”

Robinson said he would be able to make sure that the senate bylaws are followed and is confident enough to make sure the senate runs smoothly. Internal Affairs Committee Chair Marlis Hazleton expressed concern about Hill’s ability to own up to his own mistakes if he were to mess up parliamentary procedure. Senator Lizzy Osterhoudt said that although some may have concerns about Hill, it would be best to give him a chance and see what happens. University Affairs Committee Chair Benton Roesler said they should base their decision on what was just said and not mistakes made in the past. “I’m confident in both of their abilities to grow into these roles,” Roesler said. With a vote of 15-8-1, Hill received a vote of confidence to run for speaker of the senate, and with a vote 24-0-0, Robinson also received a vote of confidence to run for the position.

ASCSU campaign: Christian Dykson and Merry Gebretsadik By Michael Stella @michaelstella_

Campaigning under the banner of transparency and citing extensive campus involvement, Christian Dykson and Merry Gebretsadik are running to become the next Associated Students of Colorado State University’s president and vice president. Dykson and Gebretsadik are hoping to bring more transparency to student government. Additionally, they want to promote more involvement among CSU students when it comes to governing. Christian Dykson, presidential candidate Dykson, a second-year political science major with minors in Spanish and natural resources, has made being involved around campus a priority, as shown by his participation in a multitude of campus organizations and programs. Along with being the current speaker of the senate, Dykson was the University Affairs Committee chair last year. He is currently a member of the Liberal Arts Dean’s Leadership Council, a member of the CSU Honors Program and a member of the Lory Student Center Governing Board. He is also part of the Navigators, a ministry on campus. Dykson is running to bring transparency into student government and to put students at the focal point of ASCSU’s work. “Students have really powerful solutions, and oftentimes we don’t hear about it,” Dykson said. Dykson stressed that student government often does not have all of the solutions to problems and that the solutions should come from students. He wants a student government that is as transparent and open as can be. Dykson said that student government is not always accessible, and it is not always clear what happens behind the scenes. “Specifically, the idea we had was CSU students with solutions and stories,” Dykson said. “A multi-faceted campaign of storytelling that tells the stories of successful solutions that have worked in the past for CSU students and also opens up the door for new ideas.” Merry Gebretsadik, vice presidential candidate Gebretsadik, a third-year political science major minoring in ethnic studies, has three years of experience in ASCSU. In addition to being a senator, she is now the chief diversity officer, a cabinet position.

Gebretsadik is part of the College of Liberal Arts student ambassador team, serves as a presidential ambassador and is part of the President’s Multicultural Student Advisory Committee. “(Dykson) and I have been doing the work on campus,” Gebretsadik said. “We’ve been working on these things, but this is just a way for us to amplify that work and take it to a larger scale that will impact all students on campus.” Extensive time in governing positions can often be a turnoff for voters, but Gebretsadik thinks that this plays to their advantage. “We just have a great network on campus, and we want to give back to a community that has given us so much,” Gebretsadik said. Their platform Dykson and Gebretsadik are running on three core values: radical inclusion, transparency and stewardship. “We are going to stand for values that we know we can fight for,” Dykson said. “We recognize that values are constant. Policy positions and policies: those shift; those are fluid. Values are constant.” Underneath each of the core values are policy goals the duo hopes to accomplish. With radical inclusion, Dykson and Gebretsadik want to foster a community in which

every student feels welcomed. Part of this is having all-inclusive gender restrooms around campus, not just inside of academic buildings but in the residential buildings as well. Another aspect is having a Universitywide framework for pronoun usage. Dykson’s plan to boost transparency involves implementing a New York Stock Exchange style ticker on the ASCSU website to show when any amount of student fees has been spent by ASCSU. “If I spend $100 on gas sending lobbyists to go down to the state capitol to fight for affordable housing, that shows up,” Dykson said. “Let’s say I spend $2,000 to go on a retreat with me and five other colleagues — that shows up, and it gives students a chance to comment on all of those.” Additionally, Dykson and Gebretsadik want to do away with U+2 as part of their stewardship platform. Dykson, a long-time Fort Collins resident, wants to leverage the influence CSU has in the area to end the controversial housing program. By filling already existing infrastructure and building up, the Fort Collins community “will be acting in the best interest of our environment,” Dykson said.

ASCSU campaign: John Williamson and David Pringle By Ceci Taylor @cecelia_twt

With a platform based on student engagement and extracurricular activities, John Williamson and David Pringle are running for next year’s Associated Students of Colorado State University’s president and vice president. Both candidates have a plan to get students engaged on campus by meeting their needs and expectations as president and vice president. John Williamson, presidential candidate Williamson, a third-year student from Kula, Hawaii, has spent two years as a senator for ASCSU. He is majoring in business administration, is a resident assistant and has worked as a student ambassador for CSU’s Career Center. He said this experience qualifies him to be the next student body president. “I see a lot of different backgrounds and people in a lot of different struggles,” Williamson said. “But one that is consistent is college is expensive and people want to participate, but they don’t have the time.” Williamson said as an RA, he’s seen people work multiple jobs, and they don’t have the time or money to take two hours out of their work schedule to participate in on-campus activities. “What we want to do is introduce some extracurricular activity scholarships,” Williamson said. “We’re thinking around $500 scholarships for students who don’t have the funds to participate in activities on campus.” Williamson said he has the experience necessary in ASCSU to get things moving as fast as possible. “I also have experience outside of ASCSU, so I understand that there are more problems than just what ASCSU sees,” Williamson said. David Pringle, vice presidential candidate Pringle, a third-year civil engineering major from Greeley, Colorado, doesn’t have experience with ASCSU but wants to bring a fresh perspective to the organization. “I feel like, being a civil engineer and not the normal ASCSU representative, I can bring in a different input,” Pringle said. “I can get not just a specific group’s help but the college as a whole.” Pringle said as a STEM major, he found he didn’t have the time to participate in extracurriculars on campus because he was worried about time and money. “I can help those students that are along the same path as me and are not being incorporated in the CSU life like they wanted to,” Pringle said. Pringle said he had always wanted to be a part of ASCSU but felt it was a special group of people

you had to be invited into to participate. Pringle said he felt ASCSU was intimidating and was hesitant to get involved when members tabled on The Plaza. “We want to outreach to students and try to get a set up where students don’t feel pressured or attacked in any sort of way on The Plaza,” Pringle said. “We want to actually get their input, because we really do care about student input, and make sure it’s not just this specific group of people making decisions for the whole Rams community.” Their platform Williamson and Pringle said student involvement is their main platform coming into election season. The two want to work on getting students discounted parking permits and want to continue the current administration’s work with RamRide x Lyft and increasing inclusion and equity for all students on campus. Williamson said the $500 scholarships they are planning to provide students with for extracurricular activities will not be based on GPA. “A lot of students who are working don’t have the best GPAs and we want to make sure that it’s inclusive to a lot of different people,” Williamson said. Williamson said they are also planning on fundraising for organizations at CSU, especially because many were hit financially in the wake of COVID-19. “We may be doing fundraising Fridays, where we could have campus organizations partner with specific food trucks in Fort Collins,” Williamson said. “It would bring more food to campus, more diverse cuisines and would also raise funds for a potentially struggling business and for our college community and oncampus organizations.” Williamson said they are also planning on negotiating with CSU’s Parking and Transportation Services to provide students with discounted parking permits. “The price we pay as students is exactly the same as visitors, but the students have more invested into the school,” Williamson said. “We feel that we should have potentially better rates for parking, especially since it’s really expensive and a lot of students don’t have the money to park on campus.” Williamson also said they want to make sure students are more engaged with the ASCSU organization as a whole. “I didn’t necessarily see how uninviting it could be, so having (Pringle), who hasn’t had the experience with ASCSU, can give you a fresh feeling,” Williamson said. “I think that would be a huge boon to our platform to get more students engaged in ASCSU as well.” Ceci Taylor can be reached at news@collegian.com.

La longevidad de las especies en Colorado

CLEVER Cooking

Por Noelle Mason @noellemaso

Traducción de Kati Roan En noviembre de 2020, los votantes de Colorado decidieron reintroducir a los lobos grises en la región del sur de las Montañas Rocosas. Este área es ideal para los lobos grises, pero ellos no son los únicos animales que regresaron a esta región. Varios intentos de reintroducción por parte de los biólogos del condado de Larimer han sido exitosos en este ecosistema. “No tiene sentido reintroducir una especie si no tienes un hábitat apropiado”, dijo Boyd Wright, biólogo de especies acuáticas nativas de la región del noreste de Colorado Parks and Wildlife (Parques y vida salvaje de Colorado) o CPW para abreviar. El condado de Larimer es exactamente esto - un hábitat apropiado para la variedad de especies que viven en la cordillera Front Range. Debajo hay tres ejemplos de éxito de reintroducción de especies que ocurrieron en el condado de Larimer. Los sapos boreales Con un perfil de reintroducción único en las Montañas Rocosas, el sapo boreal es el único sapo alpino de Colorado, al vivir en lagos y humedales encima de los 8.000 pies(aproximadamente 2.400 metros). Aunque estos anfibios son pequeños, están afectados por uninterés de conservación global. “El gran problema con los sapos boreales es que están en deterioro a causa del hongo quitridio, que es un asunto global para los anfibios”, dijo Wright. El hongo quitridio, o Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Bd para abreviar, afecta a las bocas de los renacuajos y la piel de los anfibios adultos. Este hongo ha causado el descenso de aproximadamente el 6.5% de las especies de anfibios conocidas, interrumpiendo procesos fisiológicos importantes que ocurren a través de su piel. “Después de que un sitio de cría está confirmado con Bd, normalmente perdemos la reproducción totalmente en este sitio el próximo año porque todos los adultos han muerto”, dijo Wright. “Dentro de un año, han desaparecido”. Los intentos de reintroducir a los sapos boreales son una parte de una ida y vuelta continua, mientras el Bd continúa siendo una presencia inquietante, no sólo en los humedales alpinos de Colorado, sino en todo el mundo, según CPW. “Es casi como una carrera armamentista”, dijo Wright, describiendo los intentos del CPW y el Equipo de Conservación de los Sapos Boreales para contrarrestar las pérdidas relacionadas con la enfermedad reintroduciendo sapos saludables en un sitio de cría sin Bd. Mientras tanto, los esfuerzos de investigación están intentando entender los mecanismos que cau-

san la resistencia del Bd y maneras más sostenibles de mantener los sapos boreales en el paisaje frente al Bd, según CPW. Desde que los sapos fueron reintroducidos por primera vez en el lago Zimmerman en 2006, los biólogos de CPW notaron que la población de sapos boreales en este lago se estaba reproduciendo efectivamente y manteniendo sus números. Aunque el Bd es un enemigo formidable, los sapos boreales son resistentes y todavía permanecen en las Montañas Rocosas. Los hurones de patas negras Hace casi siete años, los hurones de patas negras fueron reintroducidos al Área Natural de Soapstone Prairie en Wellington, Colorado, un animal que se creía que estaba extinto hasta 1981. Las enfermedades y la destrucción de paisaje de las praderas americanas probablemente causaron que sus números bajaran, hasta el punto de que se sospechó su extinción. Los hurones de patas negras han sido reintroducidos en más que 20 sitios en el oeste de los Estados Unidos, incluyendo muchas localizaciones en Colorado. El condado de Larimer es el hogar del Centro de Conservación Nacional de los Hurones de Patas Negras, donde hurones criados en cautividad practican y mejoran su capacidad de sobrevivir en la naturaleza antes de ser liberados a su hábitat natural. Más de 1.000 hurones han sido reintroducidos en la naturaleza, pero todavía son uno de los mamíferos más en peligro en América del Norte. El hurón de patas negras es el sujeto de investigaciones extensas, especialmente con respecto al control de enferme ades y la reproducción asistida. Estos esfuerzos se enfocan en bajar el riesgo de más extinción, así como en aumentar la diversidad genética para fomentar la longevidad de la población en el futuro. El bisonte americano En el otoño de 2015, 10 bisontes americanos fueron reintroducidos en el Área Natural de Soapstone Prairie y el Espacio Libre de Red Mountain, empezando así la

Manada de Conservación de Bisontes en las Estribaciones de Laramie. “Son animales interesantes en muchos sentidos”, dijo Jennifer Barfield, profesora asistente en Colorado State University (CSU). “Si piensas sobre la historia de la especie y lo que ha sufrido… verla ahora que ha vuelto al paisaje es muy extraordinario. Es una hazaña de conservación colaborativa en muchos sentidos a la que aspiramos para muchas otras especies”. Se usó tecnología de reproducción de vanguardia para permitir que la genética “útil” de un manada de Yellowstone se trasladara al condado de Larimer. “Una meta de estas tecnologías era evitar la enfermedad de la brucelosis”, dijo Barfield. “Esto es un problema para los bisontes en el área mayor de Yellowstone”. La brucelosis es una enfermedad bacteriana que causa abortos en bisontes adultos y otras especies de ungulados como el ganado y el alce. Es transmitida por los fluidos reproductivos y otros tejidos infectados y puede pasarse en una población como resultado de bisontes curiosos investigando un becerro abortado. Aunque el efecto en los bisontes en mínimo aparte de los reveses reproductivos, es posible que se transmita a manadas de ganado y puede ser devastador para los rancheros. “Utilizamos tecnologías que fueron desarrolladas en ganado para prevenir la transmisión de enfermedades con tecnologías de embrión para asistir en nuestra capacidad de establecer la manada”, dijo Barfield. La creación de la manada ha sido muy exitosa. El esfuerzo colaborativo entre CSU, el condado de Larimer y otros grupos de administración de la tierra gubernamentales ha tenido como resultado el crecimiento de la manada, que tiene más de cien bisontes hoy.

ASCSU campaign: Cinque Mason and Lydia Zuklic By Natalie Weiland @natgweiland

With a campaign slogan urging students to “rethink our potential,” Cinque Mason and Lydia Zuklic are running to become the next president and vice president of the Associated Students of Colorado State University. While neither candidate is currently a member of ASCSU, both have extensive records of community and campus involvement and plan to use learned skills from these experiences in their positions if elected president and vice president. Cinque Mason, presidential candidate Cinque Mason, a junior communication studies major with a minor in anthropology and peacekeeping, currently works as an intern for President Joyce McConnell. Mason also previously served as a Student Affairs intern under Blanche Hughes. Despite being a newcomer to CSU’s student government, Mason maintains that his experience in student outreach, as well as his connections with both President McConnell and Vice President for Student Affairs Blanche Hughes, would be well-utilized if he is elected president. “I know how the system goes, how to do stuff and get things done, so I feel quite prepared to do that,” Mason said. Mason’s running mate, Zuklic, feels that Mason was “made for leading.” “I haven’t known him a super long time, but it already feels like I’ve known him for a while,” Zuklic said. “Anyone can be smart and be an eloquent speaker, an effective communicator ... but I think a key component of leadership is having people that care and that will listen, and (Mason) does have that.”

Lydia Zuklic, vice presidential candidate Junior Lydia Zuklic, a current member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, feels that her major in business administration and background in leadership create a solid foundation for the role of vice president. “While I haven’t been involved in ASCSU before, I truly believe that I have the perfect, well-rounded skill set for this position,” Zuklic said. Zuklic credits her concentration in finance and accounting with preparing her for the role of vice president and hopes to leverage the leadership skills she’s developed over the years to be an effective leader for the student body. Outlining her experience in creating budgets and allocating funds as a result of her concentration, Zuklic feels that her skills would be well-utilized if elected vice president. “I think one of the most rewarding things for me would be knowing that I’m actually making a difference,” Zuklic said. Their platform Mason and Zuklic are running on a platform with an intent to “reclaim the last year.” If elected, the duo hopes to increase next year’s student activities and host events such as a movie night at Canvas Stadium, a fall concert and a cultural week to showcase the various cultures represented at CSU. “What we want to do is give the students an opportunity to have something to look forward to and more things to feel accomplished about,” Zuklic said. Among their other goals is a plan to increase sustainability on campus, which Mason and Zuklic refer to as “green and gold goals.” This initiative, as described by Mason and Zuklic, would bring “carbon-capturing technology” to campus and collaborate with the Presi-

dent’s Sustainability Commission to do so. Further, the two hope to work towards eliminating single-use plastics on campus. Zuklic and Mason also plan on implementing a program focused on the redistribution of leftover food from the dining halls by working with Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement and Student Affairs. The candidates intend to continue ASCSU’s efforts to overturn U+2, a Fort Collins law that prohibits more than three unrelated individuals from living together in one home. The law has long been criticized by students, and efforts to change the law have so far been unsuccessful. “U+2 is a racist law that was created in the ‘60s, and we want to overturn it on that basis of ethics,” Mason said. Zuklic expressed a desire to promote fair and equitable access to housing within the CSU and Fort Collins communities. “We don’t believe that the government should be able to tell us how many people can sleep in one house,” Zuklic said. “It’s just unjust.” In the first month of their administration, Mason and Zuklic said they will focus on a “fair and equitable” selection process for committee members to ensure that every department is well-represented and every student has a chance to apply. Mason also hopes to publish a budget early on. Ultimately, Mason and Zuklic hope to be accessible to students and focus on unity within the student body. “We want to not create a campaign or a presidency that’s going to be having any division or criticisms of other people,” Mason said. “We want to move past that.” Natalie Weiland can be reached at news@collegian.com.

ASCSU campaign: Lys Taddei and Weston Schroeder By Piper Russell @PiperRussell10

Campaigning under the slogan “Forever strong, forever proud, forever unified,” Lys Taddei and Weston Schroeder hope to increase sustainability, improve cultural education and representation and bring back a sense of pride to Colorado State University. Lys Taddei, presidential candidate Taddei is a second-year majoring in interior architecture and design. As a freshman, Taddei worked with Blake Alfred, the speaker of the senate at the time, allowing her to learn about how ASCSU works behind the scenes. Taddei also has a wealth of volunteer experience. Taddei has volunteered over 250 hours at various organizations, including a food bank in Sonoma County, California. She also organized a heart walk in honor of a boy who died from heart disease and got certified to teach an art class of 56 kids. “All these experiences helped me gain knowledge of how to proactively conduct oneself in varying situations,” Taddei said. “My involvement with organizations and businesses in the past has taught me a great deal of organization, respect, class, leadership and professionalism.” Taddei said she has “a passion unlike anyone else’s.” She explained that she loves working for people, seeking to make a difference wherever she can. Weston Schroeder, vice presidential candidate Schroeder is a second-year student majoring in political science and minoring in legal studies. During his freshman year, Schroeder was introduced to ASCSU through learning about

the senator positions. Schroeder is the housing manager of his fraternity, Sigma Nu. Schroeder said he knows a lot of people on campus through Sigma Nu because of going out and talking to people during his freshman year. Additionally, a lot of people from his hometown, Highlands Ranch, Colorado, attend CSU. He hopes to work with these groups if elected. Schroeder also spoke about how he can create abstract ideas. “That’s kind of the beauty of crazy ideas,” Schroeder said. “You get to think of really creative ways to figure it out.” Schroeder worked on a student leadership team in high school and learned tools on how to “elevate the student’s experience and the student engagement.” Schroeder said that he used resources including talking to people from his team and others on the student leadership team about engaging the student audience. He thinks applying this knowledge into the upcoming administration “would be very crucial.” Their platform One of the main facets of their platform focuses on the resilience of the CSU community and how they can continue to build CSU’s resilience through sustainability and smarter spending habits. Taddei said the second and third floor of the Morgan Library do not need to be lit over breaks. “With the money we would be saving from increased smart energy habits, we could allocate these funds to furthering sustainability at CSU as well as allotting a certain percentage of funds back to students,” Taddei said. Additionally, their campaign aims to add more water bottle fill-

ing stations throughout campus. The duo also seeks to increase the number of trash cans around campus with the growth of personal protective equipment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They also hope to work with the City of Fort Collins and administration to explore installing solar on top of campus buildings. “Something that kind of ties along with the sustainability is making sure that each classroom has the recording capabilities, especially now that we have a much more online format of learning,” Schroeder said. The platform also centers around the lack of cultural education and representation on campus. Taddei and Schroeder intend to create a unified space with all the cultural centers while “making cultural education less taboo for students,” Taddei said. Schroeder said they will implement this goal by going to the cultural centers, speaking to members and making sure that they feel everything is being genuinely represented. “This fall, it is our time to come back stronger, prouder and more unified than we’ve ever been,” Taddei said. The unity aspect of Taddei and Schroeder’s platform focuses on student retention rates and campus culture. The two wish to bring Ram pride back through football games and tailgates, keeping COVID-19 precautions in mind. “Especially being that our school has been infringed by COVID(-19), it is time to come back and to come back strong, and I have the strength myself and the energy to really head that,” Taddei said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A message from The Brazen Project 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. My name is Marley Lerner, and I am a junior studying women’s studies and ethnic studies here at Colorado State University. I work for The Brazen Project, which is a student group on campus that works to remove stigma from abortion by talking about it boldly and without shame. A majority of what we do is host trainings and educational programs for turning abortion access advocates into activists. Because we are a student group, we host a club meeting each month. Our club meetings are themed, so each time we meet we are discussing a different topic. Our meetings this semester are special because we have created a space for creative outlets. Each conversation we have can be heavy, so at the end of our discussion we have time for folks to create an art piece. Whether this

is a playlist, a poem, a collage, a drawing or anything else, we have our club members submit them to us to go on our online scrapbook, also known as Tumblr. Our first club meeting was on Feb. 1, the first day of Black History Month. Because of this, we decided to dedicate the conversation to the experiences of Black folks with eugenics and abortion and how that intertwined. We talked about the origins of birth control and Planned Parenthood, which were based in eugenicist ideology and other eugenicists that were infamous during that time. There is a history of white feminism in reproductive rights, meaning pro-women’s equality in a white supremacist lens. It is important to make this distinction because white feminism actively impacted the eugenics movement. Because of this, one of The Brazen Project’s biggest values is centering the voices of people of color. The Brazen Project has a partnership with an organization called Soul 2 Soul Sisters. Soul 2 Soul Sisters is a Black womxn-led, faith-based response to the anti-Black violence in the United States. Their organization does a great deal of amazing work, some of which include artistic videos. We shared one titled “Black Woman Body” to showcase how reproductive rights impact Black womxn in a Black womxn’s narrative. After we watched the video, our club members mentioned that they got chills and that certain lines from the video were sticking

with them. It is a very powerful video that is bound to leave an impact on anyone. After we shared our initial reactions, one of our cohort members, Ellen, posed some thought provoking questions. The questions that burgeoned the most conversation were “why are we watching this?” and “why is this important?” The general consensus of the group was that this video and other art pieces like this are vital to the discussion of reproductive rights because it is amplifying Black voices and sharing a true insight into the realm of reproductive rights. This is not something that just impacts white women. This impacts all types of individuals capable of getting pregnant, and it is important for us to show those experiences in the best way possible. So far, our Tumblr submissions have received a watercolor painting and a collage. We are hoping to get more pieces as the semester continues so that by the end, we can look over our online scrapbook and see physical representations of the conversations we had.

There are a few myths we need to debunk about feminism By Bella Eckburg @yaycolor

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. In recent years, the word feminism, defined as “the social, economic and political equality of the sexes,” blossomed into an overarching concept that fits into ideas about personal identity. This blossoming allows many people to explore their identity as a feminist, but it has also created a plethora of misconceptions about what feminism is and what it means to be a feminist. College is a time for students to explore their identities and political affiliations, but myths about feminism are working their way into discussions about identity and politics. Discussing and disproving

choice, opening every possible door for women. Unsurprisingly, a majority of college-aged women identify as feminists. Feminism works to create equality between the sexes and is the reason women can go to college. Women’s opportunity to attend college was completely cultivated by feminists pushing for equality, not superiority. Feminism as a concept is polluted with what the internet believes a feminist should look like. Anyone can and should believe in the equality of the sexes and want to make strides to support the equal advancements of men and women. Myths about feminism have lent to a distaste for the feminist movement, misleading college students into believing feminism is anti-men and anti-marriage/motherhood, which is not the case at all. Our job, then, as engaged college students, is to stop thinking about what a feminist should or should not be and focus on what a feminist is and could be: everyone.

The internet isn’t the space for political arguments By Dylan Tusinski @unwashedtiedye

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. The writer of this article was a member of Rams for Bernie during the events discussed. Let’s rewind a little bit to a simpler, pre-pandemic time. It’s January 2020, and the presidential primaries are heating up. On campus, several political groups ramp up their operations as they do every four years. Some of the most prominent student organizations at Colorado State University at the time, Rams for Bernie, now Rams for Progress, and Students for Trump CSU, are out tabling for their respective candidates nearly every day. The groups hold antagonistic signs, give out merchandise and display flags on The Plaza in a series of notso-subtle jabs at one another. While the groups’ duel-

The exchange goes opponents. The group tagged more attention than the from being a couple comments

to a huge thread with no end in sight. No one changes their mind, no one revises their position and no one concedes they lost. This unnecessary digital fighting has real-world effects on our mental health. Online arguing increases compulsive behavior, lessens our kindness and keeps our minds racing with negative thoughts. Maybe that’s just the nature of online arguments. Maybe when debates go digital and we don’t have to face the person we’re arguing, they become nastier and more drawn out. Why, then, are we drawn to online arguments like moths to a flame? All in all, online arguments just aren’t worth the time. Unless we all collectively agree to be open to critique, to be kind and to be willing to change our mind, there’s no need to spend your time mashing keys in an online comment section.

where they left off in their series against Air Force and poured it in on the Lobos in the first half. The team collectively shot an impressive 21-29 from the field in the first 20 minutes to take a 47-31 lead into the locker room. Adam Thistlewood was the standout player for the Rams early on, as he posted 17 points before halftime. CSU was playing to their strengths and, in typical Rams fashion, were electric from behind the arc in large part to Thistlewood and Moore. The duo combined for five threes in the first half. It was a lot of the same for CSU in the second half, and the Lobos had no answer. The Rams put it in cruise control on the way to an 87-

73 win. Thistlewood continued to be the hot hand for the Rams and finished the night with 27 points off of 11-13 shooting. Roddy also had a huge hand in the dominant victory and was one assist shy of recording the first triple-double in the history of men’s basketball at CSU with a final stat line of 12 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists. The Rams look like the real deal after three consecutive dominant wins. CSU will play the University of Nevada, Reno on Friday in their last regular-season game before the Mountain West Conference tournament.

United Women of Color makes annual hair show ‘Werk From Home’ By Isaiah Dennings & Maddy Erskine @isaiah_dennings & @maddyerskine_

nets or head wrappings. “I like to express myself with my hair, so showing off my different styles and colors to others is a great experience,” contestant Bolu Ajayi said. “My favorite hairstyles are my pink and yellow wigs.” During the first round, Ajayi showcased her yellow wig. Ajayi said she chose this wig because the bright colors draw attention to her screen. Contestants got creative during round two and showed off the styles that they used to protect their hair during quarantine. The capabilities of Black hair were showcased with a wide array of braids and twists. Micaela Parker stood out by including a headdress with her protective style. “I always do these headwraps, it’s like my favorite thing to do, I kind of look like Marie Antoinette,” Parker said. “I look regal.” During round three, contestant Jordan Khalfani stood out by wrapping her locks on top of her head instead of using a bonnet.

Every year, United Women of Color teams up with the Black/African American Cultural Center to host a hair show beauty pageant that celebrates and showcases Black and brown hairstyles. This annual event is the finale of the B/AACC’s series of Black History Month Programs at Colorado State University. Taya Hancock, president of UWC and host of this year’s hair show, explained that there is a stigma against natural Black hair, and events like this combat the stigma by celebrating natural hair and beauty instead. “Black hair is Black history,” Hancock said. “Going back to how cornrows were made as GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION BY CHRISTINE MOORE-BONBRIGHT THE COLLEGIAN escape routes during slavery or even box braids and how those deliberate on the different Women of Color and plans on are used for protective styling.” hairstyles.

ner-up, everyone had a great time sharing their styles and closing out Black history by celebrating Black natural hair. “I personally love coming to these types of events because they showcase Blackness,” contestant Isabelle Rayburn said. “Being at CSU, we don’t get much representation, and events like these make us feel at home and welcome in a community.” Although Black History Month has come to an end, both the Black/African American Cultural Center and United Women of Color work throughout the year to support students, celebrate culture and foster inclusivity on campus.

HOW TO STYLE SHIRTS WITH STYLEOVERVIEW BUTTONS Plain T-shirts are a great place to start when you first start exploring fashion. When you’re ready to elevate your style, introduce shirts with buttons into your wardrobe. Whether it is a button-up shirt or a simple polo shirt, buttons adD texture and layers to whatever you choose to pair them with.

JORGE ESPINOZA Polo Shirts are a great transition from plain T-shirts to more sophisticated tops. They bring attention to your neck, and if you wear a necklace underneath you can add another layer between you and your shirt. Henley Shirts are similar to polo shirts. Each usually have about three buttons that shape your neck, however, Henley shirts don’t have a fancy collar. If you’re looking for a more casual look a Henley is a great option. They also look great with long sleeves or short sleeves. Button-Up and Button-Down Shirts are also great layering items. What’s special about these shirts is that the large number of buttons can give different effects. If you’re looking for a more baggy look, leave all the buttons open. You can rock a sleek undershirt or a plain T-shirt underneath. Similarly you can button your shirt half way and tuck in your shirt to accentuate your waste. This still gives you space to layer your buttoned shirt with another shirt underneath. When you’re feeling more formal button the shirt up all the way and tuck it in. *Button-down shirts have extra buttons on the collar that button down the collar. Button-up shirts do not have these extra buttons on the collar.

Little Local Gems: How Everyday Joe’s Coffee House began By Kailey Pickering @PickeringKailey

High, open ceilings, light chatter and a welcoming atmosphere greet one as they walk into Everyday Joe’s Coffee House on Mason Street. Underneath the rustic string lights and in between the walls showcasing artwork is a space where people have come to enjoy coffee with friends, celebrate weddings, relish in the moment of a concert and gather for church services since 2003.

“Even through the pandemic, Everyday Joe’s provides a space for community — a place where people can come together under an atmosphere that embraces all.” Chris Hess, the executive director of the coffee house and a pastor of the Timberline Old Town Church, which hosts its services in the coffee house, said the cafe serves as a community outreach for the church. Hess explained how a former pastor, Paul Aragon, was walking in Old Town Fort Collins in 2002, which, according to Hess, was full of warehouses. When Aragon saw the warehouse on Mason, he thought it could be a home for the church, called Joshua’s Crossing at the time. As the church dug its roots into the warehouse, the leaders were trying to find a way to make the space more than just a space used on Sundays. Hess explained that they were thinking of ways to use the space to the greatest benefit of the neighborhood. It was important for the church to find what could be best for the community, and with fewer coffee shops in Old Town than there are today, a coffee house seemed like the place to start. Everyday Joe’s began to embrace more types of events, such as weddings, concerts and art galleries. One of the unique aspects of the coffee house is the art that covers its walls, showcasing the talents of local artists in the cafe’s very own Bolt Gallery. The local creations add character to the space while representing the com-

munity factor the organization strives for. “Here, it’s not just like another coffee shop where we’re just trying to get as many coffees as we can out in a shorter amount of time,” said Jordan Odstrcil, a junior at CSU who volunteers as a barista at Everyday Joe’s. “We want to be able to ask customers how their day is going, and just get to know them a little bit, especially if they’re new.” Odstrcil was excited to work her first shift in March 2020 when COVID-19 made its impact on the establishment. She remembered her excitement when she heard she could come back in August: “So, once Connor (Garland, Everyday Joe’s executive director) sent the message out to everyone that we were able to come back as volunteers, and we weren’t able to do dine in but still come back, (it) was super exciting.” Similar to many businesses, COVID-19 hit Everyday Joe’s with a different kind of force. It took away the organization’s ability to hold concerts after they had just made new changes to their music venue. It also took funding away from events, like weddings and art galleries, the establishment holds. Most significantly, it gave the church a challenge to maintain the neighborhood community it had spent years cultivating. But the community has held on through the chaos of 2020. The community came back together on Christmas Eve in the parking lot across the street from Everyday Joe’s, where there was a view of the stage erected in front of the mural outside the coffee house. “So we had two Christmas Eve services outside in the parking lot,” Hess said. “And a lot of people came, and people stopped who were just walking by, heard the music and just stopped. So it felt very ‘neighborhoodly,’ and moments like that have been the best part of the pandemic, right?” Even through the pandemic, Everyday Joe’s provides a space for community — a place where people can come together under an atmosphere that embraces all. Welcoming the community is one of the organization’s core values — it’s even clearly displayed in a mural in the front of the coffee shop. The mural references a chapter in the book of Isaiah in the Bible, where all the creatures come together in unity. “I really enjoyed how everyone is so welcoming,” said Leah Meleski, a freshman at CSU who visited the coffee shop. “The whole place is not just aesthetic, but it has such a positive atmosphere, and the people are so happy to be there.” Kailey Pickering can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

FOOD & DINING

Taste of Philly offers authentic Philadelphia flavor from Colorado By Alexandra MacDonald @alexandramacc

In a college town like Fort Collins, it is often difficult to discern which stores are local favorites and which are bigger chains, jumping at the bit for a location in a busy city full of hungry students. But few can boast their status as both, save for a small restaurant on South College Avenue: Taste of Philly. When you walk into the Old Town location, you might be surprised by how small the restaurant actually is. With a simple check-out counter, soft drink bar and five or six tables, Taste of Philly isn’t too overwhelming, despite its history as a significantly larger chain. It has big windows overlooking College Avenue and a big American flag draping down on the wall. It might look quaint, but in the few times I’ve been there, I wasn’t dining alone. The restaurant always had diners seated at the tables or waiting in line behind me to order. Order takeout from Taste of Philly Feb. 21. PHOTO BY PRATYOOSH KASHYAP THE COLLEGIAN

“In a college town where students from around the country can be found studying, Taste of Philly is a place where students can feel at home, with food from their own timezone, while it is also an opportunity to try new things.” Now, the restaurant isn’t just located in Fort Collins at 301 S. College Ave.; locations can be found all along the I-25 corridor, including Colorado Springs, Greeley and Loveland. Despite its Philadelphia flavors, the chain is a Colorado creation. Its location on Fort Collins’ main street could find customers inquiring into the world of cheesesteaks, curious to try something different. Whatever the case, in a college town where students from around the country can be found studying, Taste of Philly is a place where students can feel at home, with food from their own time zone, while it is

also an opportunity to try new things. At least that’s what I thought when I went. I had never had a cheesesteak before I tried Taste of Philly’s. An 8-inch original cheesesteak will only run around $8.50 before tax, and when I tried it, I enjoyed it quite a bit. The chopped steak mixed with grilled white onions and white American cheese all on a split hoagie bun was the perfect amount for a hungry college girl, and if I felt that I had wanted more, the 12-inch original cheesesteak is only $3 more at $11.25. If I was paid more than minimum wage, I would go there much more often. They offer more than just cheesesteaks too; you can also find assorted hoagies, chicken tenders, wings and salads on their available online menu. Also, if you can, I wouldn’t forget to order their cannolis. They’re more than likely sold out because of their popularity, but that shouldn’t disinterest you. This tasty Philly dessert is worth a try. Alexandra MacDonald can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.
