CSU club sports: Meet the men’s rugby team Ram rugby has deep roots to Colorado State campus since 1970
By Angel Cooper @angelcooper05
bachelor’s degree in cultural anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1974, she planned to go into the Peace Corps. As a backup plan, she applied to the University of Texas School of Public Health, and when things didn’t go as planned with the Peace Corps, she attended UT to study community health.
In the United States, American football is king. But the gridiron has roots tied to another sport that is far more popular globally and features similar aspects to America’s brand of football: that game is rugby. While many sports fans know about the game of rugby, not everyone is familiar with the rules of rugby. While rugby hasn’t reached the same status as the big four sports, football, basketball, baseball and hockey, it is one of the fastest-growing sports in the U.S., and you can find it here at Colorado State University. On campus, there are both men’s and women’s rugby teams. On a blue skies afternoon, the Rams were able to dominate New Mexico. Being their last home game, every individual on the team pushed to keep their energy up the whole time throughout the game. This season, the team went 5-2. Colorado State Men’s Rugby Club won their last home game with a 60-8 finish against New Mexico State University.

‘Public health was kind of in our blood’ CSU professor receives award in global health By Kate Trulson @KateTrulson
Whether she is in her office tucked behind The Oval in Sage Hall or overseas researching, one Colorado State University professor is making a difference on campus and around the world. Lorann Stallones, a psychology professor and director of the Colorado Injury Control Research Cen-
ter, was given the 2019 Excellence in Global Health Award from the Center for Global Health in Denver, which she said “recognizes a long-term commitment to global health.” “I was so honored that they did it,” Stallones said. “That was enough, and when I got selected, I was really surprised. It was really quite something.” Stallones has worked in global
health to positively impact others and create “that bridge with other cultures and communities of researchers so that we value each other equally,” she said. However, Stallones said global health was not the path she envisioned for herself. “I never thought I would be a scientist; I wasn’t really good at math and science,” Stallones said.

Boulder changes tobacco age, Fort Collins may follow By Laura Studley @laurastudley_
Boulder is taking steps to create a healthier community one JUULpod at a time. Fort Collins may follow in their footsteps with new conversations surrounding tobacco age regulation. To take measures to eradicate the vaping trend, the city of Boulder has recently approved new age regulations on tobacco products. Receiving a unanimous vote, Boulder will change the age in which individuals are able to purchase tobacco products from 18 to 21. The new age restriction went into effect on Oct. 17. But will Fort Collins follow in their footsteps? “As a council, we have had no conversations with regards to tobacco or any additional regulations, so that’s currently not contemplated,” said Fort Collins Mayor Wade Troxell. “I don’t anticipate it, but I’ve been surprised before.” Though an official conversation has not yet taken place to discuss policy, according to Fort Collins City Manager Darin Atteberry, Larimer County is requesting cities to come together and discuss
the age regulation. Atteberry said that he cannot predict an outcome of what the policy would look like, as there has not been a community debate. Transitioning discussion to concrete policy takes a while, Troxell said. There needs to be time to fact check and make sure it is relevant to the City of Fort Collins. Discussion by the public is a driver for new regulation, Troxell said. In Larimer County, Ordinance 98-01 states that the possession of cigarettes and tobacco products by minors is prohibited. The ordinance characterizes the minor age to be 18 years old. The Health Department is strongly encouraging action be taken by cities within the county, but the final decision will be left to the individual jurisdiction, Atteberry said. “Obviously it is a public health issue,” Atteberry said. “Cities primarily, historically, have been about providing infrastructure and safe communities, and I think that when we look at community well-being and overall health, there are a lot of emerging factors that I think cities have been looking at for some time.” According to 2018 statistics
provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 15.5% of college students vape, in contrast to the 6.1% recorded in 2017. This is among the greatest one-year increase seen from any substance in the history of this survey. In 2010, research conducted by the Center for Disease Control found that 14 of every 100 adults ages 18 years or older living in the United States smoked cigarettes. Based on this data, approximately 34.3 million adults smoke cigarettes in the U.S. alone. The City and county are looking into the health impacts related to vaping, tobacco, smoking and marijuana, Troxell said. Even if Larimer County were to change the tobacco regulations, Fort Collins would not be required to change its policy. “If one community chooses a path, and community X chooses an alternative path, I think there’s that flexibility that remains,” Atteberry said. As of now, there is no date set for a community conversation to discuss the change in the tobacco age. There is no guarantee that there will be a change in regulation.

Award >> from page 1 At the time, UT’s School of Public Health was just founded, and her father was named the founding dean. Her father played a large role in her decisions, although she never thought she would do the same line of work, Stallones said. He was an epidemiologist, so, “public health was kind of in our blood from the beginning.” She said his work influenced her life and career path. Her mother was a nurse and worked at Planned Parenthood during a time when abortions were illegal in Texas. “Both of my parents were (strong influences),” Stallones said. “My mother was very definitely a social justice person.” After completing her education at UT, Stallones went on to serve in the Peace Corps, coordinate the Swine Influenza Immunization Program at the University of Washington and teach at the University
of Kentucky, the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and CSU. Locally and internationally, Stallones has been a part of countless research projects studying various factors of global health. She has been researching since the 1970s, and her work has been included in over 175 publications. Stallones said if she had to pick one research project that has been most memorable to her, it would be her work on the relationship between pesticides and mood disorders that focused on suicide. In this research, she said she began by looking at suicide among farmers that started her on the trajectory of looking into the pesticides in use. Stallones and a former research associate from the University of Kentucky found a CSU-published paper about neurological problems developing from pesticide poisoning, and this further put her on that trajectory. “(We started) looking at all fatal injuries among farmers, and a third of them were suicide, and that really surprised us,” Stallones said. “And so she started in trying to figure out why that might be the case, and you
got explanations of the social determinants. You got a wide range of things that people use to say this is why, but in Kentucky at that time, the economic explanations didn’t make any sense because the farmers were fairly well off.”
“The biggest, most important thing that we do when we work at a university is preparing the next generation of people who are going to be helping reduce problems.” LORANN STALLONES CSU PSYCHOLOGY PROFESSOR AND COLORADO INJURY CONTROL RESEARCH CENTER DIRECTOR
Many people tend to focus only on the social factors of suicide, overlooking possible biological factors that can increase a person’s risk of suicide, Stallones said. Stallones has been personally affected by suicide, having lost her
own son to it. “That puts a damper on your ability to really do the work for a period of time, so it was on hold for quite a few years,” Stallones said. “But things need to be talked about.” After facing this loss, Stallones said she joined the board of directors at the Alliance for Suicide Prevention of Larimer County as well as the James Kirk Bernard Foundation, a nonprofit that studies biological factors of suicide. Stallones said her research in this field, as well as her work in global health and “the belief that we can have a better place to live, … that people’s health can be improved by the work that we do,” motivates her to continue doing what she does. She has since done research in Sri Lanka, Costa Rica and South Africa with other accredited researchers, trying to figure out how pesticide poisoning may link to suicide. Students and associates who get a chance to work with Stallones get to experience first-hand her passion and knowledge for global health. Yuto Okamoto, a second-year master’s student studying public health with a concentration in
global health and health disparities, is currently working with Stallones on a research study in Japan. “You can tell (Stallones) is passionate,” Okamoto said. “There are a lot of things that she thinks about on her own that you probably wouldn’t think about yourself.” Okamoto said Stallones’ knowledge and experience taught him to better understand perspectives and cultural differences. Stallones has worked at CSU for nearly 30 years in various areas of study, including preventive medicine and biometrics, environmental health and psychology and epidemiology. She has been the director for the graduate degree program in public health for 12 years. She has developed many psychology and environmental health courses at CSU over the years, with some becoming required courses for public health majors. “The biggest, most important thing that we do when we work at a university is preparing the next generation of people who are going to be helping reduce problems,” Stallones said.

CAMPUS
Race, Bias and Equity Initiative hopes to make campus safer By Ceci Taylor @cecelia_twt
After the infamous blackface incident, followed by swastikas on campus and racial slurs yelled in Allison Hall, Colorado State University has implemented a new initiative that will allow students to propose ideas to improve the atmosphere on campus. CSU President Joyce McConnell sent a mass email to students, faculty and staff Oct. 21, announcing the official launch of the Race, Bias and Equity Initiative and declaring Blanche Hughes, vice president for Student Affairs at CSU, as leader of the initiative.
“Maybe there are some things we’re already doing. We can enhance those things. Maybe it’s some things we’re currently doing that people don’t know about. So, how do we get that word out?” BLANCHE HUGHES CSU VICE PRESIDENT FOR STUDENT AFFAIRS, LEADER OF RACE, BIAS AND EQUITY INITIATIVE
“We do a tremendous amount to promote diversity and inclusion here at CSU, and we should be proud of our efforts,” McConnell wrote in an email to The Collegian. “Unfortunately, as we’ve seen first-hand, pro-
moting diversity and inclusion does not prevent acts or expressions of racism or bias. That’s why I created the Race, Bias and Equity Initiative and why I believe it is so important to have students, faculty and staff forward their recommendations.” McConnell wrote that Hughes knows and loves CSU, especially the students, and she will lead with deep wisdom and experience. Hughes said McConnell introduced the initiative during her fall address in response to the bias incidents that have occurred on campus, including the blackface incident. “That provided an opportunity for our students,” Hughes said. “Through (Associated Students of CSU) forums, through meetings that she’s had with students, students of color, Jewish students and some faculty and staff, (they) said this isn’t okay. This isn’t Colorado State University, and we need to do something.” Hughes said the initiative was McConnell’s way of saying the school will address these incidents. “It’s an opportunity for us to look at things that we’ve already been doing,” Hughes said. “Things we feel like have been successful and really doing a better job of letting the campus know about those things. … But what students clearly were saying to us, as a University, is, ‘Yes you’ve done maybe some things, but this still isn’t a place where we feel like we can succeed. There are still issues here that need to be addressed.’” Hughes said listening to the feedback and concerns from students allowed McConnell to ask what those new ideas were and
what other steps CSU could take. This was the initial idea around the proposals. The proposals can be submitted by students, faculty, staff or anyone who may have an idea on how to improve the atmosphere around bias incidents on campus or how to prevent such incidents from happening in the future, Hughes said. “Maybe there are some things we’re already doing,” Hughes said. “We can enhance those things. Maybe it’s some things we’re currently doing that people don’t know about. So, how do we get that word out?” Hughes also said new ideas don’t always have to come from the proposals, but from meetings a student or faculty member may have with herself or McConnell. “We’re making sure we are capturing those ideas and then floating them out there to see if this is something we could be doing,” Hughes said. “How can we do this? Does it make sense? That kind of thing.”
“The more voices we listen to, the greater opportunity we have to make lasting change.” JOYCE MCCONNELL CSU PRESIDENT
Hughes said once proposals are submitted, a team of people across campus will be asked to review the proposals and make recommendations based on the new ideas. The teams will thoroughly look into the ideas and obstacles they may face

while bringing it to life. “The goal is for every single proposal that we have, people will know about it,” Hughes said. “This is what was proposed, and this is what we are responding to.” Hughes said there will be a vetting process for brand new ideas through certain committees that will be able to take it up through the administration while remaining responsible for carrying out the initiative. “The main goal of the initiative is to transform our campus to be a place where all students can really live out our principles of community and be a place where people, no matter what your background, no matter what you look like, can come on this campus and feel like this is a place where they belong (and know) that they are cared about,” Hughes said. Hughes said the initiative has
already brought a lot of excitement on campus and said it’s clearly something people care about and want to be a part of. The deadline to submit proposals was on Nov. 11, but Hughes said the University will continue to take submissions past that initial deadline. “That, to me, really shows the excitement and that our campus is ready to not only continue to do the great things that we’re doing, (but) also look at ways in which we can bring in new ideas,” Hughes said. Hughes said CSU hopes to be a model campus that provides a safe space for everyone to learn, work and live in. “The more voices we listen to, the greater opportunity we have to make lasting change,” McConnell wrote.

ASCSU votes on veteran support, oSTEM funding By Charlotte Lang @chartrickwrites
The Associated Students of Colorado State University voted on two pieces of legislation, including a resolution on veteran support and a bill about funding a travel grant. The Senate also discussed a new resolution regarding student parents. Senate votes on veteran support, oSTEM funding Chair for Internal Affairs Committee Tristan Reyez authored and presented a resolution expressing support for veterans around the CSU and Fort Collins communities. The resolution claims it’s “in the best interest of veterans on this campus to feel supported and appreciated for their service to the country.”
The resolution passed with unanimous consent. The senate also discussed last week’s bill asking to fund $1,000 to Out in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics for a conference in Detroit, Michigan. The bill failed to pass with a 6-20-3 vote against it. The primary argument against the bill was that new perspectives on the circumstances make it seem as if oSTEM may not have fulfilled their responsibilities in understanding the deadline. “The more I hear and the more information I get on this situation, it sounds like somebody didn’t read the fine print and they’re trying to get us to come back around and fix their mistake, and that’s not what we’re here for,” Senator Cornelius Vander Eyk said.
Senator Ethan Burshek explained that the application for a travel grant includes a disclaimer box that everyone must check saying they have read in full and understand the entirety of the application procedure, including the deadline. The box was checked on the oSTEM application, Burshek said. Another argument was that passing this bill would be unfair to past organizations that have been rejected for similar reasons. Chief of Staff Melissa Quesada also read the emails between the Board of Student Organization Funding and oSTEM, showing that the organization had over a month to turn in their application. “It’s unfair to the students that we’ve turned down with no exceptions to give funding
to a group just because they failed to know what the policies were,” Quesada said. “If you commit a crime and you don’t know what the law is that doesn’t make you exempt from your punishment.” Resolution 4907: Student-parent absence Senators Ryan Kropp, Josh Johnson and Hannah Brech presented a resolution to aid student-parents on days where the Poudre School District closes. The resolution would allow excused absences during these days. Kropp said student-parents are some of the most mature and responsible students in the University, with higher average GPAs. Student-parents also have the highest drop-out rate due to time deficits, Kropp said. “In order to keep some of
our best students as students, and in order to allow these people that work so hard and do so much on top of being students to have equal opportunity to graduate, we propose this resolution to allow student-parents excused absences during school closures,” Kropp said. The authors of the resolution focused on the decision student-parents are forced to make between their education and their children. Johnson said this isn’t to say there aren’t professors who support student-parents. Rather, this is to work at a higher level than one professor’s choice. The resolution was sent to both the External and University Issues committees. Charlotte Lang can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Kristina Maldonado Bad Hand speaks on journey as Indigenous artist By Gerson Flores Rojas @GersonFloresRo1
A message of change, education, connection and art came with the keynote speaker for Native American Heritage Month. Kristina Maldonado Bad Hand, keynote speaker for Colorado State University’s Native American Heritage Month on Nov. 12, presented the problems Native American citizens face every day, ranging from missing Indigenous women, enabling problems of stereotypes and drugs within the community and misrepresentation by the media. Maldonado Bad Hand spoke on how art and education can play a vital role in changing education for Native students and connecting with others of different cultures and perspectives. “Art exists so people can connect and so we can share experiences that are not our own,” Maldonado Bad Hand said. As a small child, Maldonado Bad Hand discovered a passion for drawing that led her to her current career. She had siblings that showed her their drawings and an older brother that taught her the art of drawing “guns and muscles.” Despite growing up with a loving brother, people change, and mistakes are made. “Sometimes you’re so accepting of your family members that you don’t see if you are enabling or supporting,” Maldonado Bad Hand said. Maldonado Bad Hand’s brother began heavily using drugs and became a whole different person to her, and despite her urgent attempts to help him, her cries were
dismissed. So Maldonado Bad Hand turned to her last resort. In her culture, cutting your hair short symbolizes mourning the death of a loved one. And when her family did not listen, she mourned the loss of her brother. Cutting her hair short was her expression of sorrow. For Maldonado Bad Hand, actions and art speak louder than words. “You become an artist because you have to ... because it’s in your soul,” Maldonado Bad Hand said. This was one of the events that shaped her life and helped her apply her core values into her art, she said. “Life; it’s a cycle,” Maldonado Bad Hand said. “Belonging to independence, to mastery, to generosity.” And it’s an evergreen cycle that has no end, she said. “Just because you went through this cycle once doesn’t mean you’re not going to do it again,” Maldonado Bad Hand said. Education and art are closely tied together for Maldonado Bad Hand, and part of her journey has been making mistakes. “It’s okay to burn out sometimes,” she said. “It’s okay to make mistakes; you just have to learn from them and keep moving.” One of her mistakes was during college when she dumped water on a girl that was wearing the “skimpiest” Native outfit at a zombie event. At the time, Maldonado Bad Hand had been furious at the girl for using her culture as an outfit, but now she realizes she could have reacted differently. “I didn’t get a chance to talk to her, or talk to her about my feelings,”
Maldonado Bad Hand said. “That didn’t accomplish anything. That’s not the best way to move forward and educate people. We need to change. We need to educate instead of getting angry.” Maldonado Bad Hand believes it should be a two-way relationship. If she’s educating, others need to educate themselves too. When it comes to kids, she takes an even stronger stance. “It should not be their job to educate their teachers,” Maldonado Bad Hand said. She said a lot of the time older generations don’t bother teaching kids their history because they assume they already know it. This leads to children that cannot fully identify their culture. “If we assume they already know everything about Native culture, we’re going to create a sense of shame within them,” Maldonado Bad Hand said. Her path as an artist has led her to meet people of all different cultures and with all different beliefs: some that she can share a sense of unity with, and others that refuse to understand her culture. Sometimes this can lead to conflict. “I try not to take it as a battle or as combative, even when it comes off as combative, and I try to let it go,” Maldonado Bad Hand said. “If I’ve done what I can to educate and try to make that bridge and that connection and they’re not accepting it, then you have to let it go.” Much of her story resonated with crowd members for the event. “The event was very enlightening; as someone from a minority (group) from southeast Asia, I think I was able to build a connection,”

Sunrise to sunset: Reading names of 7,000 service members By Joey Wagner @joeyleewanger
Undeterred by the below-freezing temperatures and snow, the Student Veteran Organization honored its student-veterans this Veteran’s Day at Colorado State University by participating in the National Roll Call. “National Roll Call is an opportunity for staff, administration, faculty members, community members and traditional-aged students … to come together and honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country,” said senior psychology major Josh Johnson, a student-veteran, SVO president and peer adviser in the Adult Learner and Veteran Services office. Volunteers read off the names of approximately 7,000 United States service members who have lost their lives on duty since Sept. 11, 2001. The names were provided by Eastern Kentucky University, the headquarters for the National Roll Call. Some of the readers from the event included Mike Ellis, the assistant vice president for Student Affairs and executive director of the Lory Student Center; Tom Satterly, the associate vice president for Facilities Management; Rep. Joe Neguse; Jody Donovan, the assistant vice president for Student Affairs and dean of students; John Henderson, the assistant dean of students and director of Parent and Family Programs; John Kefalas, the Larimer County commissioner for District 1; and Lt. Col. Adam Jung, the operations officer for Air Force ROTC. In order to participate, universities were required to engage in the nationwide “minute of silence” and conduct the reading of names. The CSU community was invited to place flags in honor of friends or family who have served in the military, and by the event’s closing, hundreds of flags dotted the grass outside the LSC. The community was also given the opportunity to write letters to veterans. The ceremony lasted from 7 a.m.-5:30 p.m. and involved the national anthem, sung by environmental leadership major and graduate student Kate Burgess, the posting of the colors by the Wing Walker Honor Guard, a nationwide minute of silence at noon and the reading of the names. The ceremony concluded with the retiring of the colors. “To honor publicly the people who have fallen, the people who have given their service, and to say it out loud, it kind of continues their legacy,” said Burgess, who read names after singing the national anthem.

was unable to attend the National Roll Call but requested a written statement be read on her behalf. “While I am unable to be there today to join you in the roll call and pay my respects in person, I join you in spirit, honoring the sacrifices of the brave individuals who have laid down their lives for our country and in thanking all of those who have served in our country’s military,” read a portion of the statement spoken by Marc Barker, the director of the ALVS. Maggie Walsh, the SVO adviser, manager of communications for campus operations and engagement and reader at the event, spoke to why she believes National Roll Call is important. “I think it’s important to say the names out loud,” Walsh said. “I think it’s important to remember those who have died by saying their names.” Ryan Kropp, a sophomore social work major, student-veteran and peer adviser in the ALVS, agreed with Walsh. “A lot of people in the military have lost friends that they’ve been stationed with or (have) known over time in the military,” Kropp said. “And to be able to have their names heard, to have the respect along with it and ceremony, it helps to honor those that gave their life.” Joey Wagner can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Joyce McConnell to be inaugurated at UCA on Thursday By Ceci Taylor @cecelia_twt
As the seasons change from fall to winter, Colorado State University also experiences a change in the form of a new president. Joyce McConnell, the 15th president of CSU, will officially be inaugurated Nov. 14 at 10:30 a.m. The event, which will be livestreamed, will include remarks from McConnell herself, CSU Board of Governors Chair Nancy Tuor and CSU Chancellor Tony Frank. Music will also be performed by the CSU Chamber Choir, CSU Student Jazz Combo, CSU Graduate Student String Sextet and CSU Faculty Brass Quintet. McConnell, who became president July 1, is also the first woman to serve in this role in CSU’s 150 year history. According to a media advisory from CSU Public Relations, McConnell is proud to lead CSU, one of the nation’s best land-grant universities, and is proud of the progress CSU has already made
in embracing diversity on campus. As stated in her fall address, McConnell will continue to promote diversity on campus through the Race, Bias and Equity Initiative. The initiative, which has already been set in motion, directly addresses the incidents of bias CSU has faced recently. Before becoming president of CSU, McConnell spent over 20 years at West Virginia University, where she joined the faculty of the College of Law, in which she held leadership positions, according to the media advisory. In 2008, McConnell was appointed as the dean of the college when she raised $36 million for a renovation and expansion of the college building. In 2014, McConnell was named provost of WVU by President Gordon Gee. As provost, McConnell inspired innovation and entrepreneurship with the creation of the WVU Idea Hub, according to the media advisory. Ceci Taylor can be reached at news@collegian.com.

CITY
Nearly 500 apartments, cottages, townhouses proposed for City By Charlotte Lang @chartrickwrites
Housing projects and proposals are nothing new to the Fort Collins area. What is new, however, is a developer the City hasn’t seen before, and it hopes to make some long-term investments in the community. Goodwin Knight is a developing company with a vision of “Making Life Better.” Currently, it has proposed two new housing plans to the City, with hopes of future proposals to come. Bryan Kniep, vice president of planning and community development with Goodwin Knight, said the two proposals focus on College/Skyway and College/Triangle. “Skyway is proposed for 90 apartments in two three-story buildings with a clubhouse,” Kniep wrote in an email to The Collegian. “Triangle is a combination of housing types with an additional 200 apartment units (similar design to Skyway) and 118 for-rent cottages (side-by-side duplexes).” An additional 65 townhouses are also proposed and would be for sale, Kniep wrote. The site would also include a clubhouse. Kniep wrote that the likelihood of Skyway’s acceptance is fairly high. “We have made a submittal
and are working through the first round of comments, and none seem to be overly onerous,” Kniep wrote. Goodwin Knight expects to make a submittal for Triangle in the next week and has worked out many of the issues ahead of time. Due to this, Kniep wrote that he would deem it to be fairly likely as well. “Both sites were previously zoned for the uses we are proposing,” Kniep wrote. Kniep wrote that these are the company’s first projects in Fort Collins and that working with the City has been a positive experience. “We have done developments in a lot of areas outside our home base in Colorado Springs, so it is always interesting to see how processes are different and what expectations are for developers,” Kniep wrote. “To date, the staff in Fort Collins has been very good to work with, and we haven’t experienced anything we didn’t expect.” The primary goal for the developer is to make life better for the community, trade partners, employees, residents and neighbors, Kniep wrote. “We realize that change is something everyone hates, and the developer is always the villain,” Kniep wrote. “But, ultimately, many people live in communities that people just like us built. We understand the importance of
what we deliver to the market and how it can impact lives in general, and we don’t take that lightly.” Variety and change in housing stock is always a good thing for a community, Kniep wrote. “The people who rent in our apartments and cottages are the people who buy the existing homes next when those current residents move to new homes,” Kniep wrote. “It also gives a variety of options for people when it comes to choosing housing; competition is always a good thing for the consumer.” Strong economic indicators, including a large University presence, a good manufacturing base, a lot of downtown charm and access to the outdoors and recreation were factors that made Northern Colorado appealing for these projects, Kniep wrote. Goodwin Knight has no intention of being a one-and-done type of developer. “Once we get a feel for a particular city or town, we tend to make long-term investments in the community,” Kniep wrote. “There is a lot of time and effort that goes into understanding on-theground politics, the general needs and desires of the community and how products are accepted by the end-user, and we don’t want to waste those efforts.” Kniep wrote that Goodwin Knight thinks there is a lot of potential in the long-term for Fort

Collins, and they want to be part of that. Travis Ackerman, managing director for real estate company Cushman & Wakefield, said the good aspect of the current proposals, particularly the one for Triangle, is that the developers are trying to keep rents and prices as low as they can. “I think this will help some of those residents that are trying to move into their own apartment or the family looking to buy their first home,” Ackerman said. The greatest benefits from the
proposals are the affordability aspect and the range of housing types in one area, Ackerman said. There should be something for everyone that chooses to live here. “Our largest complaint from all industries is the lack of employees,” Ackerman said. “Because of this great need in Northern Colorado, I think there will be more and more people moving to this region. The trick will be keeping it affordable enough for them to live here.” Charlotte Lang can be reached at news@collegian.com.

STUDENT LIFE
The Real College Survey analyzes food and shelter insecurity By Taylor Hutchinson @flcindependent
Editors Note: This article was originally published in The Independent, the student media publication at Fort Lewis College. The Collegian is now partnering with student media outlets across the state to share content from other student writers and photographers. The Real College Survey Across the nation, the Real College Survey started Fall 2019 ending October 31, and collected data from colleges such as Fort Lewis College. The survey is a national benchmark survey conducted by the Temple University Hope Center regarding food and shelter security for college students. Student Body President Cody Stroup sent an email on Monday asking students to participate in the survey. “They’re conducting a survey to see what students are facing, as far as challenges on campus,” Stroup said. “This is anything from food and shelter security to mental health, health in general.” The results of the survey will then be shared with administration, who will use it to shape resources on campus, he said. Jeffery Dupont, Associate Vice President of Student Affairs, said he first heard about the initiative from a “state consortium,” or an association of representatives, for higher education in Colorado. They wanted to learn more about food and shelter security on campus. Dupont said he attended a meeting with that state consortium about the need for awareness of the federally funded resources that are available to college students. At the meeting, Dupont said they spoke about how many students in Colorado are eligible for nutrition funding specifically, such as SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. SNAP was previously known as food stamps. Not many students are aware that they may access this resource, he said. Dupont and other representatives were asked to take the survey to their colleges. This way, there is a better understanding of what food insecurity looks like for college students in Colorado, he said. Dupont said that he hopes that once he receives the survey results, he will have a better idea of where students basic needs are not being met so that he can
work to provide appropriate resources. The survey is expected to take about 15 minutes, but Stroup said that he finished in less than that amount of time. There is a $100 incentive to be awarded to 10 survey respondents, he said. If the college were to receive more resources as a result of the survey, it may come in the form of an outreach person on campus, Dupont said. This outreach person would dedicate their time to educating students about SNAP and the application process. Dupont said the state approached him with this suggestion, and should the survey results demonstrate a need for such a resource, the state would provide funding for it. Dupont will receive the results for FLC January 2020, and the results for the nation February 2020. Stroup said that students will be affected because the results influence strategic changes made by the administration regarding the resources made available to students. In the near future, ASFLC will be conducting their own survey regarding student needs for the same reason, he said. Resources Available Now The resources currently avaiable include the Grub Hub, which serves one free hot meal a day and is open one day a week to give food away from their pantry, he said. Students can be referred to SNAP resources at the Skyhawk Station. Students who are referred are put in contact with an outreach worker that walks students through the process of how to apply for SNAP, he said. To be referred to the food bank, students may go to Title IX Coordinator Molly Wiser with student affairs or Academic Services Coordinator Emma Salazar with TRIO, Dupont said. Dupont said he also recommends that students take advantage of Manna Soup Kitchen, which serves two hot meals a day. They also pack lunches for those who can’t make it to breakfast or lunch, he said. Manna Soup Kitchen does not require any income verification, so students don’t need a referral, he said. “People are willing to help without a lot of stipulations as to what you need to do to get the help,” Dupont said.

It’s okay to separate politics and products Katrina Leibee @KatrinaLeibee
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. At least once in your life, you have likely purchased a product from a company, brand or person who you did not morally agree with. At a certain point, we can separate the products we buy from the political values of the companies that make them. I’m not saying we should ignore the fact that some companies are openly homophobic or racist, but you can purchase products from them without condoning their values and morals. The most obvious example of this dilemma is with the company Chick-fil-A, which is
NOPE
known to be openly homophobic, yet many people still eat there. It’s a difficult situation — you might love a product or even consider it a staple in your life, but the name behind it has been known to be racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. In instances where you know the history of a product is questionable, it’s up to you if you want to separate the products you buy from the company’s social and political values. However, you likely will not, nor should you have to, check the history of every product you buy. If you look at the website for Ben and Jerry’s, they have all their political and social values laid out and explained. When you buy their product, you know exactly what kind of company your money is going to and what issues you are supporting. However, not all companies have this information laid out, and some companies are not open about their politics at all.
&
A recent major controversy has been about the famous makeup producer Jeffree Star. Videos surfaced years ago of him making racist comments. While Star has apologized and recognized his actions since then, people are still skeptical of buying his products because they don’t want to support someone that said things like that.
“Just because you enjoy and support a product does not mean you condone the behavior and values of the people or company behind it.”
However, there might be others who — while they don’t want to support a racist person — still enjoy Star’s products and the quality of his makeup separate from who he is as a
person. Some say you cannot separate Star and his values from his products; others say you can. This is a moral dilemma, but ultimately, the decision of how to spend your money is up to you, and you shouldn’t be shamed for that decision. Just because you enjoy and support a product does not mean you condone the behavior and values of the people or company behind it. You can buy a product because you like the quality of it without it meaning that you support or encourage the behaviors of its creator. This goes back to the ageold debate: Can you separate the art from the artist? While this is a question with no right answer, it’s similar to the question: Can you separate products from politics? Everyone will have their own ideas on this, but it’s ultimately an individual decision, and no one should be shamed for their decision either way. The products you purchase

don’t have to be a reflection of who you are as a person. They don’t have to have meaning. They can just be the products you enjoy because of the quality, having nothing to do with where you stand politically. If most people were truly honest, they likely wouldn’t stop buying the products they rely on and have an attachment to, even if they found out they disagree with the company morally or if the company said horrible things in the past. Continuing to buy those products doesn’t mean anything more than you enjoy the quality of the physical product. Yes, we can make it political because most things in life can be twisted into a political or social perspective — but it doesn’t have to be. If you want to be wary of where your products are coming from and the companies behind them, that is okay. If you choose not to, that is okay too.

Consent shouldn’t be the only issue for Red Whistle Brigade Shay Rego @shay_rego
Editor’s Note: The views expressed in the following column are those of the writer only and do not necessarily represent the views of The Collegian or its editorial board. This column contains potentially triggering language describing certain forms of sexual violence. Learning about sexual assault and advocating against it are important topics everyone should be educated on. College
is an especially important time to reiterate this education and place focus on its surrounding concepts. Colorado State University’s Red Whistle Brigade is a campaign put on by the Women and Gender Advocacy Center whose main goals are to educate people on gender, sexual violence prevention, healthy relationships, sexual health and more. This organization is a fantastic resource for students, as well as an amazing platform to help spread awareness on these topics, specifically sexual violence prevention. CSU is fortunate to have a program in place that dedicates time and resources to educational events such as tabling in The Plaza, speeches for incoming freshmen, film screenings and other forms of promotion. However, the Red Whistle Brigade has a flaw in its program that could use reform. The Red Whistle Brigade advocates that the key to preventing sexual violence is to learn
about and understand what consent is. According to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, 8 out of 10 rapes are committed by someone known to the victim. It’s undeniable that the majority of rape cases are caused by those who know the victim, and that is why it’s important to emphasize consent since clear consent may be muddled by those personally known. The Red Whistle Brigade does a great job advocating for consent since the majority of rapes are done by those we know, but they don’t do a good job acknowledging any other means to prevent sexual violence. For example, 19.5% of rapes are committed by a total stranger, according to RAINN, which brings attention to the fact that these strangers blatantly didn’t care about consent. It’s the difference between not understanding what consent is and committing rape and knowing what consent is
and still raping someone. The Red Whistle Brigade doesn’t offer an educational remedy to these specific types of situations, but stranger rape still happens every day and is equally important to address as acquaintance rape. By only promoting the importance of consent education, it’s as if the Red Whistle Brigade feels that consent education is the way to fix all potential rape situations. Consent-only education completely undermines stranger rape motives. Perhaps the Red Whistle Brigade should consider integrating how stranger rape could be addressed alongside their consent campaign. One possible solution might be to educate potential rapists, which could be anyone, using an empathetic approach. For example, one empathetic approach could be creating situational irony: perhaps giving a speech or creating an event that challenges its participants to think about how
they would feel if they were raped or if their family member was raped. A bad person is a bad person, so no matter how much education a person receives, it’s still probable that they will commit a crime regardless. Saying “don’t rape someone” isn’t going to stop someone from committing rape. However, using an empathetic approach might have an impact on a potential rapist’s perspective. This is not to undermine the important work that the Red Whistle Brigade does for the community. Their role is vital for sexual violence education. However, there just may need to be some rethinking on their approach. The point is, stranger rape is a huge issue that needs to be addressed rather than simply chalking it down to the need for understanding what consent is.

Rams need more energy at sports events Alexandra MacDonald @alexandramacc
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. If we’re being honest, all students could agree that we could show more school spirit and be more present for our teams. The amount of Colorado State University students that stay during games is pretty depressing, not to mention the amount of students that don’t even bother showing up in the first place. Our sports teams would benefit from the support of their fellow students, and that may offer the possibility of CSU sports doing much better than they currently are. CSU’s football team recently ranked No. 15 on the CBS 25 worst college football teams list with an overall win/loss ratio of 4-5 this season. That’s not great news, and Mike Bobo is probably facing the heat. Nobody likes booing their own team. Every season begins with hopeful students attending the first few games with the
idea that maybe, just maybe, the team won’t suck that entire season. They stand in the $220 million Canvas Stadium in the oppressive September heat, either dozing off from dehydration and boredom on the stands or jogging down the concrete staircases to leave before the end of the third quarter. Cuss words and negative chants rain down onto the field, but almost none of them are in our team’s support. They suck, and CSU students aren’t happy about it. People want to blame Head Coach Bobo for this. There’s a big hype for defending ourselves and our identity as the Colorado State Rams, but are we really “Proud To Be”? What if we did stay the entire game to show support? We can already admit we’re not the greatest, but that’s not an excuse to not have a good time. Molly Moxness, a sophomore studying philosophy, argues that uniting students should begin with better cheers. “I just think that the student section has no spirit at all, and we need cheers that everyone knows,” Moxness said. Making the stands rally with our team as a show of camaraderie is an easy way to show spirit, and it would cer-

tainly make it more fun to attend games. “People just don’t give a damn to go because it’s just not a fun, high-energy environment,” Moxness said. “That’s why I think we’re not successful as a team. If the student section had more energy, the games would be fun to go to even if we weren’t set up to win.” Staying the whole game is another argument. It should be obvious that we should watch the entirety of a game — but a lot of people don’t. CSU’s student sections start off packed at the beginning, usually only ending the game with a few stragglers. The dissipation of student attendees by the ends of games is sad, and there is no wonder why team players may lose hope as the game goes on. We should support our teams with our fellow students regardless of whether they suck or not at this moment. Sports games should be a reflection of our community at CSU and how supportive we are of each other. Our school spirit is a sign of how proud we are to be at this university, and how much we stand by each other is another great example of that. Come hang out for a while, Rams.

Swearing should be normalized, slurs should not Fynn Bailey @FynnBailey
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. Swear words just aren’t that bad. The vast majority of them are either bodily functions or related to God, neither of which have an inherent negativity. Yet we treat them like they are some evil that may never be shared with anyone under 18 and something to be avoided in polite society. We do all that avoiding, censoring and punishing in regards to normative swear words while kids are learning slurs and using them. We
should be less focused on keeping kids from swearing and more focused on teaching them to not hurt others with their words.
“We should shift our culture to one where, when an awful assignment is given, students can openly say “this f*cking sucks,” instead of a culture where slurs are openly used.”
It’s nearly impossible to regulate people’s use of swear words, as there is no great reason to limit them so aggressively. What do you tell
a 14-year-old who said the f-word, other than that they shouldn’t say it because it’s “bad”? Let me share my experience after working at a summer camp — they don’t buy that reasoning. At camp, we would have to explain that using those words teaches them to the younger kids that are around, that swearing isn’t what their parents want for them and they’ll get in trouble if they swear — none of which are good reasons for why the words are banned in the first place. There were also many situations where I would have to teach a kid from a less progressive background why he should never say the f-slur because he had never been told not to. He claimed he saw it in movies like “The Hangover,” and he heard tons of people around him say it. The f-slur
was much more accepted than swearing — those around him didn’t curse. It was much easier to explain why the f-slur, or any slur, should never be said. Kids get that their words can hurt and will stop if you tell them how much they hurt. It would have been much better if those parents had policed their kid on using slurs rather than swearing. It’s not just on parents, though. On TV, the word “b*tch” is said emphatically, and until recently, so was the p-word. Both demean women and are used as tools of toxic masculinity. We often treat these words as in-betweens from crap to “real” swear words. These words have actual reasoning why they shouldn’t be used, and we barely register them, but “f*ck you” is crossing the line? It’s about time we shift-
ed the narrative around what is and isn’t acceptable language for public hearing. I think as college students in almost purely adult settings, we should be swearing openly in class. This doesn’t have to happen aggressively — I don’t mean to say we should be allowed to become violent with our language toward each other. We should shift our culture to one where, when an awful assignment is given, students can openly say “this f*cking sucks,” instead of a culture where slurs are openly used. If we can normalize people using words that are honestly pretty mundane, maybe we’ll then focus on really squashing the slurs and words that we should actually be policing.

If you own a gun, LISTEN TO THE NEW then you are a KCSU FOOTBALL pathetic coward By Ethan Vassar @ethan_vassar
Editor’s note: This is a satire piece from The Collegian’s opinion section. Real names may be used in fictitious/semi-fictitious ways. Those who do not read editor’s notes are subject to being offended. There are many misconceptions about guns in this country. The belief that guns kill people, the differences between military and civilian rifles and the “gun show loophole,” which allows the purchase of firearms without a background check, are just a few examples. However, there is one misconception that is the most pervasive of all that many seem to take as a fact — owning a gun somehow makes you more masculine. This is far from the truth, as owning a gun makes you a coward.
“Any man today with a concealed carry license might as well just carry a purse and wear a corset, bonnet and a dress with a bustle like the little 19th century lady he is.”
Guns are a weapon needed by women to defend themselves from another man. So, what does it say about a man if he also needs a gun to defend himself from another man? It says he’s a weak little coward. There are plenty of other things owned by women that a man should never own — makeup, body lotion, separate bottles of shampoo and conditioner, anything pink — and guns should be included in that list as well. “If a man had to call another man to change his tire or have another man open a jar of pickles,
then he isn’t a real man,” said Fort Collins resident and gun owner Susan North. “We should extend that same shame to any man who carries a gun.” It is baffling why gun owners have been perceived as masculine and tough over the years when it’s really the complete opposite. Back in the 1800s, women and cowardly men would carry small .25 caliber guns dubbed “pocket pistols” to protect themselves from other men, but a real man would not do the same. If he had a problem with another man, they would settle it in a brawl of fisticuffs rather than waving around a dainty little firearm. Any man today with a concealed carry license might as well just carry a purse and wear a corset, bonnet and a dress with a bustle like the little 19th century lady he is. Many people who oppose the fact that owning a gun as a man automatically makes you a weak coward will cite the Second Amendment as evidence for why this is not the case. However, it is important to remember who made laws like those in the first place. The founding fathers were all dainty men who pranced around in powdered wigs, makeup, shoes with high heels and frilly undershirts. They were essentially dressed as women, so it would make sense that they would be pro-gun ownership. The founding fathers were all probably anything but heterosexual anyways since they only enjoyed the company of other men while drafting the Constitution and Bill of Rights and creating our country. One doesn’t have to look any further than the National Rifle Association to see how guns are for women and not men — their president is a woman. All these facts considered, there’s really no other interpretation of male gun ownership left. Any man who owns a gun is undoubtedly a pathetic coward and should have his man card taken away from him. Ethan Vassar can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

There is more CSU can do to support students By Corinne Neustader @CorinneN14
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. From the first day of classes, Colorado State University touts its student resources. In the first week of being on campus, students are exposed to the wide range of extracurricular organizations in the Involvement Expo, as well as the multitude of resources available for students to access. CSU prides itself on supporting students throughout their college journeys and routinely emphasizes student resource accessibility. For both firstyear and continuing students, however, there is more CSU can do to support students in
their academic journeys. While several colleges provide free printing to students majoring within the college — such as the College of Liberal Arts and the Warner College of Natural Resources — not every undergraduate student receives free printing.
“For both first-year and continuing students, however, there is more CSU can do to support students in their academic journeys.” This is a long-running issue that has been discussed many times, but the most recent debate on free printing is from a year ago, when the Associated Students of CSU endorsed a
resolution to implement free printing through advertisements. Since then, there hasn’t been action on behalf of the CSU administration to approve this resolution, which means printing continues to be an unnecessary expense for students who are already paying thousands to attend CSU. Printing is one service that all students use, and by offsetting the costs of printing, CSU can help support its students by taking one expense off their plates. CSU can also better support its students by investing more in tutoring services across a variety of disciplines. For the fall 2019 semester, the majority of The Institute for Learning and Teaching’s study groups and tutoring services are directed toward STEM majors. Of the study groups TILT offers, only one study group,
for the class Economics 202, involves a liberal arts discipline. The single discipline with the most study groups is civil engineering, with others in the College of Agricultural Sciences and the College of Health and Human Sciences. As for tutoring services, it’s a similar situation. The vast majority of resources are dedicated to STEM majors, with tutoring primarily in chemistry, physics, biology and math classes. While all students must take a lab-based science course and a math course according to the All-University Core Curriculum, there are strangely no tutoring services for other classes in liberal arts disciplines that fall under AUCC, including classes in the arts and humanities, historical perspectives and diversity and global awareness requirements. Many undergraduate stu-
dents will, at some point, take a class in the College of Liberal Arts. It’s imperative that CSU supports students in these classes, as many 100-level liberal arts courses are survey-based, meaning that classes are often large, and students may feel lost or overwhelmed. While engineering is arguably one of the hardest majors at CSU, it doesn’t negate the discrepancy in student support. The College of Liberal Arts is one of the largest colleges at CSU, with the least amount of tutoring and study groups available to students. Although CSU supports students in their academic journeys through engaging organizations and extracurricular activities, there is more CSU can do to help students navigate college, helping to contribute to their academic success.

Rugby >> from page 1 Joe Rusert-Cuddy, the captain of the team, is proud of his teammates for putting in so much effort in the game. “I am proud of our effort,” Rusert-Cuddy said. “The heat today was a little unexpected. Today was unseasonably warm. I think that kind of caught us (by surprise). I think we played well, we executed well, this being our last game of the season. Everyone wanted to walk (on) the field and give everything they had. They did not want to leave anything in the tank. That kind of motivates guys. We had a rough week last week. We kinda wanted some redemption this week.” Scott Nies, president of the CSU men’s rugby team, explains how the rugby club is run at CSU in conjunction with USA rugby. “We are a club sport,” Nies said. “So, that means we organize games schedules, and we book our refs, we book our field space. It is a lot of self-efficiency stuff, and we operate entirely under USA Rugby. There is not a governing body that club sports will help us out. It is all completely on us, completely student-run.” CSU Men’s Rugby Club is part of a USA Rugby’s division 1A. Competing in a 72-team, conference-based league that features eight divisions throughout the country, the top 16 teams advance to postseason play. During the regular season, all teams within a conference face off against each other, attempting to finish in the top 16. Those 16 teams advance to East and West regionals, which entails three rounds of single-elimination, with the two winners advancing to the D1A National Championship, which takes place in early May.
“I cannot think of a better group of guys that I have ever been around.” MATT PEPPERCORN LOCK
The rugby team at CSU is very competitive. However, the team does not make cuts, so they have two men’s teams. The team is separated into varsity and junior varsity teams. The Men’s Rugby Club has three evening practices during the week to prepare for games on the weekend. There is a cost to pay on the team, but the cost covers the registration with USA Rugby. Founded in 1970, the Rams currently compete in the Rocky Mountain Conference against BYU, CU-Boulder, Utah Valley, Air Force, Utah State, New Mexico and Wyoming. CSU has had some successful seasons throughout the years. CSU qualified for National Playoffs in 1975 en route to a fifth-place finish

and didn’t qualify for playoffs again until the 1998 season when they recorded a 12th place finish nationally. Most recently, the Rams won the West Conference in 2013, making them eligible for quarter-finals. “Our season this year is a little interesting; we had a solid first half of the season,” Nies said. “With our only loss being with the number eight team (ranked) in the country. We built on that and continue to play well, and then last week, because of all of the snow, we did not have any practices. Our coaches were not there because they were on an international scholarship to help increase their knowledge in England. So, that is great for them, but it was tough for us because it was our rivalry game against Boulder, and ... we lost over there. But overall, it has been a pretty good season.” Rugby is built on brotherhood and camaraderie. The teammates are always there for each other when someone is feeling down or needs extra support during the games. Matt Peppercorn, a lock on the CSU team, feels like his team is finally starting to gel together and thinks very highly of his teammates. “I cannot think of a better group of guys that I have ever been around,” Peppercorn said. “These are some high-quality men.” Angel Cooper can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Rams bounce back from Duke blowout with win over Omaha By Bailey Bassett @baileybassett_
The Colorado State Rams men’s basketball team suffered a blowout loss to one of the nation’s best when they faced No. 2 Duke University last week. On Wednesday, they returned home to Moby Arena to face the University of Nebraska Omaha. The key to this game for CSU was having the right mentality to bounce back against the Mavericks. The Rams did just that, winning 8065, in a game which they dominated in the second half. CSU got off to a rough start. A 3-10 deficit to begin the game was highlighted by missed layups and turnovers on drives to the rim. Nico Carvacho missed a few hook shots and the Rams’ touch around the rim wasn’t there. The guards all had bad turnovers to begin the game. “Early in the game, I thought we had a lot of looks, and we missed a ton of easy shots at the rim,” Coach Niko Medved said. “We just had to stay with it.” Early jitters after facing Duke can potentially be to blame, but the Rams picked up their confidence and aggression after their bad start. The Rams comeback was sparked by a series of 3-pointers. Adam Thistlewood, Isaiah Stevens and Kendle Moore all connected from deep early. The Rams overtook the lead by halftime and were up by a slim margin with the score being 35-33.
Thistlewood had four 3-pointers in the half, and Moore had another two to boot. The 3-pointers were what kept CSU in the game. CSU’s big man Carvacho struggled in the first half. Carvacho shot 2-8 from the field in the first half, and his touch just wasn’t there. Carvacho had numerous hook shots that clanked off the back iron, and he wasn’t using his strength and length as effectively as he usually does. However, Carvacho did notch eight early rebounds, something he does better than anyone. Finishing strong at the rim rather than floating the ball up from 4-6 feet away is something Carvacho can work on to improve his already exceptional skill set. Carvacho looked like a new man, and the player we are used to seeing, in the second half. He grabbed an impressive offensive rebound in traffic and scored seven of the team’s first nine points in a 15-2 run to start the second half. His bad start ended up becoming a dominant performance. Carvacho finished with 21 points and 19 rebounds. One more rebound would have secured the impressive 20-20 line for Carvacho, who struggled to score early, but finished with an efficient 50% field goal line. Thistlewood finished with a career-high 19 points, including five 3-pointers. He was also second on the team with seven rebounds. Rebounding is something Thistlewood worked on during the off-
season, and he had nine rebounds earlier in the year against the University of Denver. Keeping up this rebounding production will be huge for a team that needs someone besides Carvacho to feast on the boards. “I had two charges,” Thistlewood jokingly said when asked about his great rebounding and shooting night. “I was just having fun out there and playing my game, and the shots were falling, and the ball was coming to me on the boards.” One of the keys to this game was David Roddy’s energy off the bench. The freshman played strong and aggressive and had a couple of tough finishes. He also used his big body on the defensive side to contest the opposition in the paint. The forward only finished with four points and four rebounds, which all came early in the game, but his energy lifted the team’s spirits and allowed for their comeback to start. A 13-3 Omaha run midway through the second half made it a game again but ended up only being a small blemish on a great CSU win. The Rams didn’t take their foot off the pedal and cruised to a 80-65 victory. The second-half offense was absolutely explosive. Guard Stevens has impressed so far this year. He was this year’s surprise starter as a freshman who isn’t very tall at just 6 feet, and he has the mold of a player that doesn’t usually play early in the year for

most Division 1 collegiate programs. But Stevens has played hard through the Rams’ first three games. He had 11 points and tied Carvacho with a team-leading five assists in the win. His play was highlighted by a behind-the-head leaping out of bounds save pass to Kris Martin for an easy layup. Stevens

VOLLEYBALL
CSU volleyball closing in on conference title as they host Aggies, Broncos By Ryan Loberger @Lobergerryan
Perfection is achieved through persistence and routine, and for No. 12 Colorado State volleyball, this season has been nearly flawless, as the Rams sit with a 24-1 overall record and are four wins away from a flawless conference record of 18-0. CSU can clinch part of the Mountain West regular season title this weekend with a win in both games against Utah and Boise State. The Rams can also claim a shared title if they win over Utah State and Wyoming loses against Boise State. CSU can guarantee their third-straight title if they win out the rest of their schedule. The Rams will host Utah State (2-24, 2-12) tonight, Nov. 14, and Boise State (16-9, 8-6) on Saturday, Nov. 16. Vs. Utah State The Rams have rattled off 29 straight wins over the Aggies and took the prior game on Oct. 19 in Logan, Utah, in the form of a 3-0
sweep. While the Rams are riding a 23-game win streak, the longest in the nation, Utah State has lost their last eight games, with five of those eight losses coming in the form of a 3-0 sweep. Utah State shouldn’t present much of a challenge as the Rams figure out how to overpower the struggling Aggies. Of the Rams’ 24 wins, 17 of those victories have come in straight sets. CSU has dropped just 13 sets in the 2019 season. Vs. Boise State The Rams’ most recent loss to the Broncos came in 2016. Since then, CSU has won the last five matches and will look to continue their dominance as they lead the all-time series 17-1. This Boise State team did give CSU a run in their last matchup back on Oct. 17 as the Rams left Bronco Gym with a 3-2 win. The final score indicates that the match was close, but the Rams controlled the match. CSU doubled Boise State’s kills, knocking home 68 kills to Boise’s 34. Five Rams finished with dou-
ble digit kills. Breana Runnels and Kirstie Hillyer both recorded 17 kills, Paulina Hougaard-Jensen recorded 12 and both Sasha Colombo and Jessica Jackson hit 10 kills in the match. CSU will need to be wary of the Boise defense, as the Broncos lead the conference in total blocks with 278, and they are third in digs per set with 14.34. CSU will honor their five seniors, Olivia Nicholson, Hougaard-Jensen, Hillyer, Jackson and Katie Oleksak, before their game against the Broncos. This group has helped propel the Rams to a record of 97-22 over the past four years during their time in the green and gold. The Rams will be favored in both matches, and the Rams will have some extra motivation in these games with the possibility of clinching the conference on their home court. Thursday’s game versus the Aggies will get underway at 7 p.m. MST. Ryan Loberger can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

The Lyric reels in community with Denver Film Fest showcase By Scotty Powell @scottysseus
Movie theaters are like zoos. There is no other location in the modern world where mankind’s nature is put on such a stark, unmediated display — save perhaps for a toilet stall or an Osbourne family reunion — than in the darkened seats of a movie house. The showcase of films from the Denver Film Festival at The Lyric this past week was a wild and wonderful exhibition of not only independent cinema, but the raw human emotions those movies inspire. The festival, organized by the Denver Film Society, has been running since 1978, but it wasn’t until this past year when members of the society crossed paths with the managing director of The Lyric, Michael Putlack, that the flick fest decided to expand its exposition northward. “I went to a conference in Michigan in June where I got buddy-buddy with some Denver Film people,” Putlack said. “(So I) told them, ‘Hey, this might be a good idea; if you guys want to have screenings up in Fort Collins, it would be a lot of fun, and I think our clientele would support it.’” The films showcase an eclectic mix of styles and genres, ranging everywhere from Colorado-born documentaries on Alaskan ice-melting competitions to awards circuit darlings and everything in between. They are the kinds of movies designed to exhibit the full scope of cinema’s potential but are often left off the marquees of larger, more mainstream movie theaters due to their lack of commercial viability. As a result, their audiences are becoming more and more constrained. That’s where theaters like The Lyric come in. “I think (The Lyric) inspires people who might want to make movies,” said The Lyric’s general manager, Kait Edwards. “Someone might see a Wes Anderson movie and think ‘Wow, I really want to make that,’ and they might not have been able to see that before if they hadn’t had an independent theater in their town to show it.” This accessibility to independent cinema — not just the movies themselves, but an actual communal space to watch, enjoy and appreciate them the way they were meant to be seen — is a rarity in today’s world. Streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and now Disney+ are beginning to slowly sink their claws into the exhibition side of film distribution,
further reducing the number of people who go to theaters to see movies. “Part of the magic in seeing a movie isn’t just the ones and zeroes that it’s now become; … it’s about seeing it with people,” Putlack said. “(Independent movie houses are) a place where people can go to have that experience, which, without us, they would just be sitting alone (watching a movie) in their rooms.” By bringing the Denver Film Festival to the theater, The Lyric provides the opportunity for the community to not only see films that other towns and cities may not have access to, but also to engage in a unique experience that fewer and fewer people in our world get the opportunity to engage in: that of communal film watching. Even the larger movie houses are becoming more isolated as they make their auditoriums bigger and their seats wider, fancier and more spread out to make the experience feel more individualized. Events like the Denver Film Festival showings at The Lyric help to reconvene people and remind us of what it truly is that makes us love the movies. It’s not the shock and sensation they zap our brains with, but the sense of connectedness and community that they foster. Indeed, this sense of community seeps through every aspect of the festival, including the actual production of the films themselves. As writer and star of festival entry “Frances Ferguson” Kaley Wheless explains, the community played an equally important role in the filming of that piece as it did in its exhibition. “We met a lot of people in North Platte who were really just funny people who ended up being in the movie,” Wheless said. “One guy was doing a cross-country road trip and just stopped in for the audition, and one of the cops was someone we met in North Platte. So a lot of the (tone of the film) came from our just meeting interesting people, as you do in life, and bringing them in for moments that felt more light and funny.” “Frances” isn’t the only film that does this. The festival selections are steeped with a deep-laden sense of community. From “Classic,” the documentary about a small Alaskan town’s annual competition to see who can guess how long it takes the winter snow to melt, to “Kifaru,” the story of the caretakers for the last remaining northern white rhinoceros, it seems that everything ultimately comes back to the theme of our need for connection with people.

The films aren’t all winners. But that doesn’t matter. The communal atmosphere of the event makes it so that even if a film falls flat on its face, the experience itself wasn’t a waste of time because it still starts a discussion. When films are viewed in isolation, they become mere vehicles for changing one’s mood. They either make you feel better and were worth the time spent watching them or they don’t, in which case they were a waste of hours.
When experienced in a setting like The Lyric, however, movies become something new. They are no longer servants to your own personal whims, but rather a medium through which you are able to connect with your fellow audience members and your community at large. Movies coax emotions out of people that they often keep hidden or that they might not even be aware of. And when those emotions are brought out in the presence of others, we realize
that others don’t mind as much as we might otherwise think because they themselves are experiencing those same feelings. Thus, we become less afraid of facing, exploring and discussing what those emotions mean. What kinds of emotions did the Denver Film Festival selections bring out? All sorts: not all great, but all worth taking the time to contemplate. Scotty Powell can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

Denver Film Fest highlights offer insight, provoke emotion By Scotty Powell @scottysseus
The Denver Film Festival offered some of the year’s most impactful, thought-provoking, infuriating and provocative films. Here is a dissection of some of the best. “Frances Ferguson” Going to the theater to see “Frances Ferguson” is a little bit like paying $7 to stand in line at the DMV for an hour and 15 minutes. The film exquisitely captures the boredom, mundanity and general apathetic confusion of modern American life, just not quite as well as the actual boredom, mundanity and general apathetic confusion that we actually experience every day in our lives. It isn’t bad, but that’s only because it isn’t good enough to make its audience care if it’s bad. Its indifference toward itself makes it the kind of low-stakes cinematic snoozefest that the film world — the scholars, critics and festival judges who have distinguished themselves as the authority on what denotes “quality cinema” — lauds over. But it ultimately just feels like a slap in the face to audiences. It’s the cinematic equivalent of someone holding your hand and telling you to stop hitting yourself. There is a certain appeal to the drab and dreary style of mumblecore comedies like “Frances.” They give moviegoers the chance to turn their brains off and laugh at, albeit in a cynical and self-serving manner, the odd and idiosyncratic methods people in the modern world have devised to distinguish ourselves from our surroundings. Whereas the kinds of methods highlighted by most comedies of this type are arbitrary things like eating soup out of empty flower pots instead of bowls, sleeping on a giant bean bag instead of an actual bed or owning lots of cats named after 1980s rock stars, the means of rebellion the titular Frans employs are much more serious: namely, having an affair with a high school student. Now, this premise, while shocking, isn’t problematic in and of itself. After all, it was this kind of a setup that, back in the 1960s, laid the groundwork for what would eventually blossom into the mumblecore genre, with the affair between Dustin Hoffman’s Ben Braddock and Anne Bancroft’s Mrs. Robinson in Mike Nichols’ “The Graduate.” The difference is that “Fran-

ces Ferguson” doesn’t approach the topic with the same kind of intentionality as “The Graduate.” Whereas Nichols’ film explores the more serious repercussions of the affair, “Frances Ferguson” treats the incident as nothing more than a little bump along the road of life. It’s a dumb but casual and forgivable mistake that leaves little more than a simple lesson learned in its wake. Like everything else in the movie, there’s nothing to suggest that it is something the audience should care about. It’s portrayed as just another thing that “may as well happen” to this woman. But while this “may-as-well” mentality may be an acceptable justification for eating soup out of empty flower pots instead of bowls, it comes off as naïve, if not cynical, when used as the driving force behind an incident of sexual predation. “Clemency” “Clemency” is a movie about injustice, and it’s a movie about prisoners. But above all, it’s a movie about death. And it’s not death in the sublime, romantic sense that Hollywood is so fond of. It’s not death as a means of illuminating the joys of life by means of contrasting them with our bleak, inevitable end. It’s death as it actually exists — a slow, unforgiving, unyielding descent into that undiscovered country from which no traveler returns and all the macabre mundanities
that elongate that grim journey. It’s not a fun watch, but it’s one of the most impactful and heartbreaking cinematic pieces of the last decade. This is in no small part due to the dynamite, Oscar-worthy performance given by leading lady Alfre Woodard, playing tortured prison warden Bernadine Williams. The warden must confront the grim and grisly nature of her chosen career after overseeing a botched lethal injection and having to navigate the impending execution of a Black man falsely accused of murder. That kind of emotional baggage in and of itself is difficult enough for any actor to capture and convey onscreen. Add to it the stoic, straight-faced persona through which Woodard must express these emotions — her character hardly ever blinks, nonetheless screams or cries, until the last 10 minutes of the film — and it seems a near-impossible balancing act. Yet Woodard achieves it with seeming effortlessness, weaving the character’s expressions of these deep, suppressed emotions into the most subtle of places: a slight quiver in the deliverance of a line, a small twitch of the head or a quick sideways glance. Woodard’s seamless acting is complemented by an equally strong performance from Aldis Hodge as the convicted inmate Anthony Woods, whom Williams has been put in charge of oversee-
ing the execution of. While just as stoic and silent as Woodard, Hodge brings out the intense desperation that Williams suppresses. While her character is illustrated through her subtle movements, it’s Hodge’s sudden, hopeless outbursts, dispersed sparingly but powerfully throughout the film, that bring him to life. These outbursts are impactful, whether its bashing his head against the wall of his prison cell in an attempt to kill himself before the state gets the chance to; the slow, steady welling up of tears in his eyes as Woodard walks through, in a very straightforward, clinical fashion, the exact procedure that will be followed during his execution; or his final, tearful apology to the parents of the man he didn’t kill, delivered from his execution bed. The raw, masterful blending of these characters’ stories and personalities by director Chinonye Chukwu is what ultimately makes the film so effective. While many other films about death pace themselves in a more traditional narrative form, falling and rising in a symphonic manner, Chukwu’s excruciatingly long, lingering shots keep her film on the same harsh, monotone chord throughout. But it works because, once again, the movie is about death. And death is not a symphony. It’s the single, dark toll of a funeral bell. It’s a march in one single unchanging, uncaring direction
downward: a Greek crisis drama for the modern age. Chukwu takes the time to show the audience in fullest detail each and every step of the agonizing process that is capital punishment. Whereas other prison films often capture just enough of this painful procession to instill the audience with a general sense of melancholy, Chukwu lingers on every step, seeing each one through to its bitter end. Never before has the actual process itself been put on such stark display. It’s always relegated to the background, the thing that drives the characters to achieve some deeper goal or sense of understanding, not the focal point of the film itself. However, by making it the focal point, Chukwu highlights just how powerful and devastating the practice itself truly is. It’s something that all of the characters are prisoner to, not just Woods. It’s something they can’t escape from, nor can they change it. They have no choice but to continue acting as executioners, to continue struggling to justify their own atrocities and continue living in spite of them. When society declares itself the ultimate arbiter of life and death, there is no escape from it. Chukwu’s film highlights how that mindset, and the institutions, laws and rules that it has led us to erect, ultimately holds us all prisoner.

Denver Film Festival animated short films pack a heavy punch By Scotty Powell @scottysseus
There is no artistic medium more liberating than animation. It’s unrestrained by time, space, logic and any and all physical possibility. It’s free to morph, explore and experiment with the world however it so pleases without having to adhere to the rigid framework of reality. This freedom is put on full display and pushed to its furthest, most bizarre limits in the Denver Film Fest’s short films selection. On the whole, the films are visually imaginative, though admittedly lacking in stylistic diversity and narrative cohesion. In some cases, this isn’t much of an issue. For example, Michaela Olsen’s “Under Covers,” which opened the set, was a wonderfully weird, whimsical parade of the bizarre bedtime rituals of a small storybook town during a lunar eclipse. With its colorful, playful and nostalgic animation style contrasting with the strange and bizarre design of the film’s central character, the piece looked like a Wes Anderson rendering of “Five Nights at Freddy’s.” But don’t think this is an insult.
Striking an effective balance between cutesy and creepy is a difficult task, and it is one only the masters of animation — directors such as Henry Selick, Tim Burton and Walt Disney — are able to pull off, yet Olsen succeeds in this feat. The piece is also set apart by its commitment to its surrealist aesthetic in every element of the production. The story, or lack thereof, being told is just as wild and fantastical as the visual world it is being told through. The film is pure, delightful and sometimes shocking nonsense from start to finish, and it is without a doubt the high point of the lineup. Siqi Song’s “The Coin” is another notable entry in the list. Using yarn as the primary medium for the film’s animation, Song’s smooth visuals and the precision of her sound design sets this entry apart. Despite the hard-to-manipulate medium that Song chooses, her film comes spectacularly to life, capturing each bob of dumplings floating in a steaming pot of fuzzy water, the stretch of a rogue string of mozzarella cheese and every indent in a ball of dumpling dough. Who knew sheep’s wool could look so tasty? The rest of the selection is

good, though not great or particularly memorable. Danski Tang’s “Umbilical” and Camila Kater’s “Carne” offer raw, introspective explorations of the struggles and insecurities of modern women, complemented by some very nice surrealist imagery. The problem is that the visual styles don’t compliment the narratives or the themes they express. Both are beautiful and gripping in their own respects, but they don’t harmonize with each other. The animation works too hard to express the actual words being shared by the films’ respective narrators, but it doesn’t capture the kinds of complex emotions those narrators are discussing. It instead presents a generic montage of images that morph into each other with little rhyme or reason other than to illustrate the words that the narrator is saying. Though not the most outstanding lineup, the Denver Film Festival’s short films were nonetheless enjoyable and fun to look at, if not as thought-provoking and diverse as other works within the same format.

Hippo Campus revives CSU students with unique sound By Autumn Sorrentino @ItsNotTarantino
Students who went through midterms certainly deserved a night to vibe out, and for a bunch of guys from Minnesota, the band Hippo Campus definitely did the trick. The indie-alternative band performed at Washington’s in Old Town on Nov. 12, delivering a vibrant show one can only wish to experience in their lifetime. Dancing, drinks and baby dolls were all to be expected from the passionate, lively performance. “I just love their music, and I’ve been listening to them for years,” said Abby Sand, a freshman at Colorado State University. “They’re super unique, and that’s what really drew me to them. They really stand for being who they are in all environments. It’s inspired me to be more like them.” The Greeting Committee and Hippo Campus boasted a soldout show. With hits like “Way it Goes” and “Buttercup,” Hippo Campus started as a small-town band but has found major success nationwide. “(Their music) sounds so original, and you can tell they wrote the music themselves, which makes it super interesting to me,” Sand said. “The concert was surprisingly cheap, and it was so close to campus I couldn’t say no. Of course I had to come!” Hippo Campus consists of five members: Jake Luppen and Nathan Stocker on vocals and guitar, Zach Sutton on bass and keyboard, Whistler Allen on drums and vocals and, most recently, DeCarlo Jackson on trumpet. “I first heard about them in 2016 on SoundCloud with their demos that came out that year,” said CSU student Chloe Ellis. “Ever since then, I’ve been a big fan. I’ve never felt more at peace with a band, and Hippo Campus makes me feel excited for the future, so that’s why I’m here.” Using pastel lighting and an incredible range of vocals, the band kept attendees engaged. Head banging, clapping and the occasional moshing were just some highlights from the night’s events. “I feel like it’s very applicable to a lot of situations,” said liberal arts student at CSU Rachel Melton. “It’s very low-key and vibe-y, I daresay. It just makes me feel something.” The band kept an impressive vitality throughout their act. It was clear they were enjoying themselves and wanted the audience to feel the same.

song, Hippo Campus came back for an encore, choosing to play their biggest hit, “Buttercup.” “I came tonight to have a lot of fun, especially in the middle of midterms,” said Amanda Rooms, a liberal arts and art student at CSU. “We’ve all been having a hard time in school, so I’m excited that we get to take a night off with a fun band.” Perhaps most memorable was the baby doll. Brought by a fan, and later pointed out by the band, the doll became a running joke for the rest of the night. At last, upon request, the crowd brought it to the stage where Stocker and Sutton signed and threw the toy back into the crowd.
“They’re my roommate’s favorite band, and I wanted to hang out with her,” said natural science and chemistry student at CSU Maggie Wellman. “I came to hang out with my friends because I really like this venue, and I thought it would be a great opportunity.” Overall, the concert was a huge success, bringing stress relief, good times and unique experiences for all. “We’ll just have to come back to Fort Collins; f*ck it,” Luppen said, wrapping up the night and sending the concert-goers home.
