The 1491s: culture, comedy combined The comedy YouTube group discussed intimate themes of appropriation and oppression

By Scott Powell @scottysseus

As a freshman, Armstrong was a contributor for a very good Washington State team. She played in seven games as a freshman and was a regular toward the end of the season once she earned her spot in the rotation. Armstrong even played in the NCAA tournament where she notched her first collegiate goal.

Inclusivity: It’s a nice word and one that typically evokes feelings of pity and guilt but not any actual desire to include all types of people. Enter the 1491s, the “Monty Python” of the American West, whose zany, unhinged comedy left their audience at the Lory Student Center Theatre in stitches on Oct. 2. The comedy troupe took the campus by storm with a raucous, biting collection of sketches that covered everything from buffalo sex, to beaver tickling, to dream catchers that boost your wifi signal. Suffice to say, the troupe didn’t pull any punches. With the tribal elders laughing as hard as the rest of the audience, it is safe to say the comedy stuck with people from all walks of life. “I think what I really love is that they can take the hard topics like cultural appropriation and colonization and genocide and make it funny,” said Tiffani Kelly, assistant director of the Native American Cultural Center.

Rams soccer transfers bring monumental season, eye the top of the Mountain West By Bailey Bassett @baileybassett_

Transfer athletes can do wonders for collegiate programs, and the Colorado State soccer team can attest to this. The Rams are having their best season in the program’s history thanks to a group of transfers that have joined the team. Halfway through their sea-

son, they have a record of 6-3-1. Historically, the team has struggled to finish with a record above .500. In their seven year existence, they have never had a winning season. That is changing, and with conference play underway, the Rams are looking to take over the Mountain West. Part of the reason for the teams’ success is the influx of outside talent the Rams have re-

ceived this year specifically, as well as over the last few seasons. Transfer students have been drawn to CSU’s soccer program in recent years, with six players who began their collegiate careers elsewhere coming to join the Rams. Gracie Armstrong, originally from Broomfield, joined the Rams this year after one season at Washington State University.

N-word found written in IM fields restroom By Delaney Allen @DelaneyAllen0

Colorado State University Recreation Center staff found the N-word written in the outdoor restrooms on the IM fields Sept. 29, according to a message sent to Rec staff. “We share this all with you knowing that this semester has already included a number of bias incidents, and those events have hurt many members of our campus community, including our own campus Rec staff,” the message said. The CSU Police Department was notified about the incident, and the vandalism was removed. A bias-incident report was also submitted. There have been circulating rumors that the N-word was written in blood, although this has not yet been confirmed by

CSU Public Relations staff. “Our values are community, integrity, development and inclusion,” the message said. “Racism and all other forms of oppression do not align with those values, and we do not welcome those things in our department or in this community as a whole.” The Collegian received video evidence of the incident but is not posting it due to its graphic nature.

ASCSU discusses lex in favor of diversity committee By Charlotte Lang @chartrickwrites

The Associated Students of Colorado State University discussed a lex, a body of laws, proposing a new committee focused on diversity and inclusion. They also discussed a future diversity project for the campus, known as the Statues Project. Lex 4901 — Funding and establishment of a new committee chair Senator Alejandro Benitez authored and presented the lex, explaining the necessity of a committee that can hold conversations about diversity and inclusion at length. Benitez said that, with the recent events occurring on campus, the campus community is hurting. As a result, ASCSU needs a place where these topics can be further addressed. “This is for us to continue conversations every week, that these problems do exist at CSU and we need to fix and change them,” Benitez said. Senator Ryan Kropp said the point of the committee is to be able to bring different ideas and perspectives to the table in a more inclusive space than the Senate can provide. “We don’t have the time or ability here to think through new ideas or come up with things or really hear from the voices that we are speaking for,” Kropp said. “In committee, they have the time to do that.” Senator Savanah Overturf said that this committee is important because everyone is diverse. “When you talk about diversity, there are so many different avenues you can think of,” Overturf said. “Everyone is diverse. Even if you don’t look at yourself as a marginalized identity, you are still diverse.” According to the lex, the committee would be housed in the Senate. Benitez said this would allow the committee to reach a variety of colleges. This committee would also allow for conversations to reach a deeper level than they would otherwise, Benitez said. “Things should be talked about at length, and it shouldn’t be just at the quick snap of a finger that we have resolutions,” Benitez said. “It should be going out. It should be more than a conversation.” Concerns around the lex focused on suggestions of a bystander effect. Senator Ethan Burshek said it has been noted that when a task or field of tasks is assigned to a specific group, those not involved fall prey to the bystander effect. “Inclusion and the facilitation of diversity is the responsibility of all of us, not just one committee,” Burshek said.

Burshek also mentioned a concern of overlap with existing resources. “We have plenty of ways for students of marginalized identities to reach out to the Senate,” Burshek said. “I feel that creating too many redundant resources reduces the impact of our resources already in place.” Burshek said the Senate should find new ways to utilize existing resources, rather than create new ones. After a vote, the lex was sent to every committee in the Senate for further discussion. Executive diversity project President Ben Amundson spoke about a diversity project for the campus, known currently as the Statues Project. Amundson said the point of the project is to fund and create statues near Yates for people of different identities to look up to. “What if there was a statue for people of different identities?” Amundson said. “Different diversity offices maybe can choose their statues and have someone who represents their identity a little better.” Amundson said this would be a good way to give students an opportunity to look up to someone who looks or identifies more like themselves.

CITY

City Council urges humane treatment of immigrants By Samantha Ye @samxye4

Fort Collins City Council passed a resolution imploring President Donald Trump and the U.S. Congress to prevent inhumane treatment of immigrants at the southern border, reunite immigrant families and create a sustainable pathway for immigration. The resolution also reaffirms the City’s commitment to make sure immigrants feel safe to engage with government authorities. After a brief debate, Councilmember Ken Summers was the only one to reject the resolution. The resolution acknowledges the “potential humanitarian issues” along the U.S.-Mexico border, “particularly concerning children being separated from their families and the conditions in which they are being held in separation” and the fear the federal issues create in the Fort Collins immigrant community. “(We’re) calling on our legislative branch and our executive branch to put forward solutions that address the issue, and right now, through dysfunction of all sorts, that’s not happening,” Mayor Wade Troxell said. “I think it only illustrates to me where the issue is, and it’s at a federal level.” Council’s declaration comes after months of residents calling for Council to denounce the migrant detention camps and family separation policies of the Trump administration. For Fort Collins, such treatment from federal forces has translated into stress and fear for local immigrants and their families, said Deirdre Sullivan, executive director of La Famil-

ia, a childcare and supportive services center focused on the Latinx community. Daniel Scott, a resident and first-generation Mexican-American immigrant, said this resolution was extremely important for people who are working to integrate with the community. “There are a lot of immigrants in this community, I think more than people realize,” Scott said. “And I feel like this would help them a lot, frankly, just by recognizing them.” What the resolution says The resolution includes local intentions to support immigrant communities. The resolution: 1. Fosters a community welcoming to those lawfully seeking asylum in the U.S. and reaffirms that the City “welcomes and celebrates immigrants and their role in our City’s history and in the greater fabric and history of the United States.” 2. Encourages all residents to report crimes regardless of their race, ethnicity, national origin or immigration status. (In 2017, Council passed a Community Trust Initiative which disallows City employees to ask about citizenship status unless required by state or federal law.) 3. Encourages all residents to participate in the 2020 census so the City population will be counted accurately. Several sections also outline calls for federal action from City Council. The resolution: 1. Calls for Trump and Congress to prevent inhumane treatment of persons, particularly minors, at the southern border, and quickly reunify immigrant families through any

Racial slurs yelled in Allison Hall next bias incident at CSU By Delaney Allen @DelaneyAllen0

Two Allison Hall residents yelled racial slurs heard by bystanders Sept. 26, according to a Sept. 27 email sent to Allison Hall residents. The Colorado State University Police Department was called to Allison Hall in response to the incident, and the

students responsible have been identified. “University Housing has chosen to share this incident with the Allison community, not to pile on during a very difficult time on our campus, rather to call out this behavior and make it clear that it is not OK at CSU,” the email said. Delaney Allen can be reached at news@collegian.com.

reasonable means. 2. Urges Trump and Congress to create a sustainable pathway for immigration into the United States, especially for those who fear for their lives or safety. 3. Directs the City manager to include consistent measures to the City’s Legislative Policy Agenda to be presented to the Legislative Review Committee. Additionally, members of Council who are participating in upcoming meetings with members of the Colorado congressional delegation will urge those members of Congress to take action on immigration as well.

“There are a lot of immigrants in this community, I think more than people realize. And I feel like this would help them a lot, frankly, just by recognizing them.” DANIEL SCOTT FORT COLLINS RESIDENT

Debate over local or national action Summers, the lone dissenting voice, at first introduced an amendment to the resolution to specify what actions individual Fort Collins and Colorado federal representatives, such as Congressman Joe Neguse, were doing for immigration reform because “It’s prudent for us to recognize what our local congressional members and individuals are doing on the national level to address these concerns.” After the other coun-

cilmembers disagreed with the need to call out individual names, Summers withdrew the amendment. He then proposed another amendment, this time to remove the sections that call on federal authorities to take action. “There’s so many issues when it comes to the southern border; just saying ‘well fix it’ (to federal leaders), doesn’t add value to the conversation,” Summers said. Summers said he cares about the community, so he would prefer Council to take action locally instead of putting the responsibility on those in Washington D.C. “We need to be concerned about those who are in our community,” Summers said. “That’s our responsibility. What are we going to do about it?” Other councilmembers said Council is offering support

through a resolution addressing the federal problem. “I would argue that the reason that people don’t feel comfortable is because of all this federal policy confusion and inability to act on pathways to citizenship,” said Kristin Stephens, mayor pro tem. She said that a bold statement to remind federal leadership of how their actions are hurting local communities in a daily and personal way is not a bad thing. “You may see it as a fool’s errand,” Stephens said, addressing Summers. “But I see it as my duty as a person who represents this community and as a citizen to call on the national government, to hold them accountable for years of bad policy on immigration that have led to a real crisis.” Samantha Ye can be reached at news@collegian.com.

It’s time for students to speak up for each other Renee Ziel @reneezwrites

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. Between going to a public university and being in the midst of a political climate like none we’ve seen before, there is no doubt that students have a lot to say. People love to complain, but they don’t love to be active about it. People talk enthusiastically about change but make no effort to put that in motion, instead relying on the hope that someone else will do it for them or, alternatively, resigning in defeat. It’s understood that some people who belong to marginalized communities are simply unable to easily get involved due to discrimination, or they are informally and socially barred from having positions of power in a world that still holds them down. However, some people simply don’t have an excuse. Moreover, many organizations on campus dedicate themselves to being inclusive. There are ways students can be active at Colorado State University. According to RamLink, there are almost 500 student

organizations registered at CSU. Arguably, two of the biggest are The Collegian, a news organization run by and for the students, and the Associated Students of CSU, the student government which allocates thousands of dollars of student fees. I am active in both. It’s also worth mentioning that there is a rivalry between the two organizations, which is rather stark and frankly petty, in which members of both organizations have frequently and viciously attacked the other group. In particular, members of the ASCSU Senate do not work for the students but rather their personal agendas. One example is voting against inclusive resolutions and therefore excluding large groups of students and not upholding CSU’s Principles of Community. When will we realize it is our duty, as both representatives and journalists, to serve the students? We are students ourselves, and above all, we are a collective student body who should be focusing our efforts against an administration who refuses to hold racists accountable and the harmful political, economic and social issues that are facing our generation. This serves a larger “divide and conquer” mentality that is being set against us. We are wasting our time by continuing a trivial, small-minded fight between two organiza-

tions whose purposes are to better this campus and the lives of those who attend this University. We are wasting our time complaining when there are far more important things to be done. If a student has something to say, especially if it is for the better of the student body, it’s important that they actively seek out ways to make their opinions known. It is high time we form an engaged narrative on this campus to set a positive example for our inactive administration, other universities and our politicians. Positions in ASCSU and The Collegian are available, and it is simply up to students to get involved and voice their opinion in a diligent manner. Even if they’re not an active member of either organization, there are avenues specific to these groups that can allow people to speak out as students or as members of our extended community. For instance, there are Letters to the Editor or gallery input during ASCSU senate sessions. While those who represent students, both peers and administrators, are being quiet on the issues that impact us most heavily, we need to stand up. If someone really cares about the issues that are facing us — and threatening our futures — they need to contribute to the solution or silently take a seat.

YouTube can entertain or inform: You have to choose By Alexandra MacDonald @alexandramacc

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. The amount of information we have at our fingertips is undoubtedly overwhelming. One of the most popular sources of accessible information is YouTube. We can spend countless hours laughing at clips of puppies or even learning new skills. YouTube can entertain and inform, but you make that choice. YouTube has become a database that allows its users to teach themselves things that were previously unavailable to everyone. When enough time is spent watching videos on a topic, it can be a place of education. As college students, we should start using it this way. There’s the option to visit YouTube for a mindless study break — like simply catching up on a certain YouTuber’s latest video — or for a lengthy video explanation of something misunderstood on this week’s homework. According to Education Week, students often rely on, and even prefer, video tutorials for complex math questions or a crash course on history. But students shouldn’t stop there. Anyone can better their understanding of any subject by simply searching it on YouTube. Want to know how car engines work? Here’s a lecture from a mechanical engineering course. Don’t know how to knit? A grandmother

somewhere made a video about it. More often than not, people want to watch their lessons instead of reading them — that’s what makes YouTube so attractive. It’s personalized, concise and visually appealing. If a specific video doesn’t grab your attention, just click on another one. Going to a university isn’t a cheap option, and even then we can’t say it’s perfect after that. Not everyone who attends college around the country will receive the same quality of education. But access to YouTube is free with an internet connection and the prerequisite of being in a country that allows it. Even if you aren’t in college, you still have the access to the resources that college students use. There’s no credentials given after spending an obsessive amount of time going down a rabbit hole at 2 a.m., but there’s something to be said about what a person understands after a YouTube binge. As a public forum, anyone can post or watch whatever they want. There are videos on all sorts of things, from basic algebra tutorials to pirated ‘80s movies dubbed in Japanese. Consumers are free to choose whatever hole they fall into, and they’re free to question what they watch afterward. When we think of YouTube, we think of entertainment — but that just isn’t the case anymore. It has grown from a basic video sharing website from 2005 into a hub of internet culture and education. Use it. Alexandra MacDonald can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

We need mandatory diversity education at CSU By Guest Author @CSUCollegian

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by The Collegian or its editorial board. Letters to the Editor reflect the view of a member of the campus community and are submitted to the publication for approval. To the Editor, It’s time that Colorado State University acts as a front-runner of diversity, acceptance and appreciation for all people. It is our obligation to form a student and faculty body that emulates cultural sensitivity. We need to educate not only our Ram community but all those we impact in our daily interactions. The current culture we im-

merse ourselves in thrives on treating everyone equally, not being equitable. By following the color-blind movement, we are perpetuating the idea that history can be erased and the horrific actions taken against marginalized populations do not matter. Without the knowledge of how racism is pervasive in today’s society and its roots within each and every one of us, we cannot recognize and/or move toward a society in which people of color are able to express the extensive effect of modern-day racism without white fragility getting in the way. The effects of color-blindness are associated with irrational fears of people of color. In light of the May 2018 event, in which two prospective students were pulled from a tour of CSU, prospective students and anyone attending a tour of CSU should be required to watch

a video about culture sensitivity. In addition, all tour guides should be mandated to take a cultural diversity training before being able to start the touring process. When first admitted into CSU, in order to register for classes, students are required to take an alcohol education course and a sexual conduct course. This raises the question of why education surrounding anti-oppressive practice is not required as well. A required anti-oppressive course will aid in educating admitted students about the current climate of racism. Without the proper education about racism and oppression, we are living in a society that is OK with being color-blind. This dangerous perception of race leads to a decrease in openness about diversity, limited interest in diversity courses and lack of attendance

NOW IS THE TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT LIFE AFTER THE DORMS Have you started thinking about where you are going to live after the dorms? Leasing season can sneak up on you, so now is the time to start apartment hunting! Whether it’s your own private bedroom, new roommates, plentiful green space, free parking, printing & tanning, or heated pools, Ram’s Village has what you want! Keep us in mind as you begin thinking about next year – you can sign a lease as early as November and you can always stop by and take a tour. The earlier you sign the more options you will have to choose from; pick from our spacious one, two, three, and four bedrooms! A move to Ram’s Village is a move in the right direction because we are closer to campus. No class is too far when you are living here. If you decide to hop on the bus at one of the seven stops on our property, you are no more than eight minutes away from the LSC – right in the center of campus. Maybe you decide to bike, you will arrive in even less time. Are you walking to campus to meet some friends for lunch? Leave fifteen minutes before and you will beat any of your friends living elsewhere. Signing a lease at Ram’s Village is like a present from you to you. Wake up later, get on a later bus, bike a shorter length – the possibilities are endless. Have a great semester and we will see you soon!

at University sponsored diversity events. For every major at CSU, there is a certain number of University core curriculum courses all students are required to take, but there is no course required for cultural awareness. A study published in the Journal of Diversity in Higher Education found that taking a diversity class increased interest surrounding diversity issues, leading to more critical thinking. Implementing a diversity course at CSU for all students would not only benefit students by increasing education about diversity issues, but also lead to increased need for cognition. Additionally, a similar training should be required for all staff at CSU and should be taken at the beginning of every school year. The current talk surrounding the recent blackface incident,

playing it off as an “uneducated mistake,” is a symbol of white supremacy. The history behind blackface and the racial hierarchy that is prevalent today dominates our culture, allowing people to ignore the fact that it was an overt racist act. Therefore, as a community, we as Rams need to band together and stand against racism. There have been far too many racist acts on our campus, making it feel unsafe for people of color to attend school here. We need to fight and abide by the values that CSU claims to uphold. A change needs to occur, and action must be taken. We can no longer side-step the horrific racism that has been prevalent within our campus.

1491s event shows importance of truth during Homecoming Abby Vander Graaff @abbym_vg

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. Homecoming is a time for celebrating how far we’ve come as a University, but in order to do that, we must not only remember the good, but learn from the bad. On Wednesday night, a comedy and YouTube group called the 1491s performed in the Lory Student Center as part of Colorado State University’s Homecoming celebrations. Invited by Ram Events and the Native American Cultural Center, the 1491s portrayed Native American communities through a satirical,

thought-provoking lens that urged audience members who aren’t Native American to engage with a community and history that is so often ignored.

“In attending and paying money to this institution, all of us, in some form, are complicit in its legacy. In this way, even if we don’t feel represented by this institution, when we leave it, it represents us.” This event is a part of CSU’s Homecoming week. According to VICE, the tradition of homecoming was created in the early 1900s as an event where colleges invite their alumni to return to campus and watch a football game. “This is a campus-wide ini-

tiative,” remarked Tiffani Kelly, assistant director of the Native American Cultural Center. “This is the CSU Homecoming comedy show, and for the first time, it’s featuring Native artists. That’s huge, and it took 150 years.” This year marks 150 years of CSU’s existence, and while construction feats and accomplishments are presented for the holiday, a more relevant and defining aspect of the University’s history largely remains absent. In 2018, then-President Tony Frank adopted a Land Acknowledgement Statement at the recommendation of Native American community members, according to SOURCE. It is meant to be read at events to recognize that the land upon which CSU was founded was occupied by Native American tribes. “Our founding came at a dire cost to Native nations and peoples whose land this Uni-

versity was built upon,” reads part of the statement. “This acknowledgment is the education and inclusion we must practice in recognizing our institutional history, responsibility and commitment.” The 1491s portrayed this painful history, but in their use of comedy, they did so not from a position of vulnerability, but of relatability and humanity. For students, faculty and staff, the University impacts our daily lives. In attending and paying money to this institution, all of us, in some form, are complicit in its legacy. In this way, even if we don’t feel represented by this institution, when we leave it, it represents us. This can make it difficult to acknowledge the negative aspects of the University, but the 1491s event shows us how we can do so in a way that builds and heals. “I think the fact that we get to laugh and enjoy each oth-

er and find joy in this world is amazing,” Kelly said. “The fact that it’s a part of Homecoming is really cool because it’s bringing in a narrative that’s so often left out of a conversation.” CSU’s Homecoming celebrations are about honoring our school by remembering its history, but we tend to only want to remember the good things. Especially after a series of racist events on campus, we must also remember the history that we haven’t been able to leave behind. It is impossible to get better when we don’t even recognize what we did wrong. Conversations about privilege and oppression are uncomfortable, but that doesn’t mean we can shy away from them. In a moral society, we don’t have that option anymore. But that doesn’t mean we can’t build our community up as we do it. Abby Vander Graaff can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

Transfers >> from page 1 This season for the Rams, Armstrong has started every single game and has only played less than 76 minutes in one match. Armstrong has only scored one goal this season but has been the team’s assist maestro. Armstrong has been incredible at finding her teammates, and her unselfish play directly contributes to the team’s success. She is the only Ram with more than one assist on the year, as she has recorded five assists in 10 games and is happy to be back in Colorado. “I wanted to be close to home and have my family come watch and support me, and I definitely didn’t want to go to (the University of Colorado Boulder),” Armstrong said. Sophomore Kristen Noonan is the other transfer that is making an impact in her first year as a Ram. She has proven to be one of the best players on the team. The California native is one of two transfers who didn’t originate from Colorado. Born in Porter Ranch, California, Noonan spent her first collegiate season playing for California State Fullerton. As a freshman, Noonan earned Big West all-freshman honors and was second on the team in goals with five. “With (Noonan) coming to town from California, that was a big one,” Coach Bill Hempen said. The forward is second on the team in goals with five. She is also second on the team in points, which are received when you get a goal (two points) or an assist (one point). The 5-foot11-inch striker towers over her opponents, creating a big target for her teammates to pass to. With her big frame, she has mastered the header and has specialized a box out move that prevents the defense from stealing the ball. Her aggressive play goes hand in hand with winning, which was highlighted by her game-winning goal against Valparaiso University. “There has been a lot of change that has happened in the last year,” Noonan said. “And all of these coaches and the team with their support has been incredible.” Over the years, CSU has built an atmosphere that draws in transfers. Fort Collins native Baylee Bedard came back home last season from Kansas State University. She joined her sister Kelcey Bedard, who graduated last year as a track and field athlete, and her father Brian Bedard, who is the head coach of the track and field teams, at CSU. She has appeared in six matches so far as a defender. After her freshman season at Wake Forest University in 2016, Addie Wright took a sea-

son off from soccer last year before joining the team this year. Wright has since become one of the Rams’ top defenders. Wright is third on the team in minutes and even has two shots on goal in five shot attempts as a defender. Maddie Lesjak is also a Colorado native. Originally from Aurora, the backup goalie spent her first two seasons playing at Northern Iowa. Lesjak was Missouri Valley All-Conference second team as a sophomore and came to CSU last season. She spent her junior year as a member of the CSU club soccer team and joined the Division I team this year, backing up star keeper Gabi McDonald. The team’s superstar Caeley Lordemann didn’t even start her career in green and gold. Lordemann was a freshman standout at Creighton. She started 16 out of 17 games and had four goals in her freshman year before coming to CSU. Lordemann has since become perhaps the best player in program history. The senior is the captain of the team and a player everyone looks up to. She carries the Ram record for goals scored with 14, and that number only keeps increasing. Lordemann has a career-high of six goals already this season, including three overtime game-winners. Coach Hempen emphasized academics as a factor for bringing transfers to CSU, and he says a lot of it has to do with the

majors the University offers, along with the desire for players to return home and play in Colorado. “A couple of kids are Colorado kids that just wanted to come home,” Hempen said. “There is a lot of places to transfer home to in Colorado, and we are very fortunate that a lot of them

have chosen CSU.” No matter the reason for returning, this soccer season has been special thus far. The culture of this program is evolving for the better, and the transfers are helping drive the change, but that atmosphere and the people that go to school here in Fort Collins are a big rea-

son why even the athletes who weren’t born here are feeling at home. “It’s been the greatest change,” Noonan said. “Everyone’s been super welcoming, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.” Bailey Bassett can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Runnels’ career night lifts Rams over Cowgirls in Border War

In rivalry games, rankings can be thrown out the window, and this year’s Border War was no different. The No. 16 Colorado State volleyball team (131, 3-0) was tested through five sets against the University of Wyoming (7-7, 2-1) in Laramie but ultimately prevailed to remain perfect in Mountain West play (20-25, 25-16, 27-29, 2520, 15-10). Outside hitter Breana Runnels led the charge for the Rams in what was a career night for the redshirt junior. Runnels tallied 29 kills off an impressive .404 hitting percentage. The 29 kills were a career-high for Runnels and a modern scoring record for a five-set match. Since the turn of the century, only three other players have recorded 29 kills or more, and Runnels is the first since Dre Downs recorded the same amount against the University

of Colorado in 2005. In the opening set, the Cowgirls dominated the Rams at the net with seven blocks in the frame. CSU adjusted to Wyoming’s game in the next sets and allowed only four blocks the rest of the way. The Rams finished with 10 blocks, with Paulina Hougaard-Jensen accounting for half of those and 10 kills. Katie Oleksak earned another double-double to bring her total to three on the season. On top of her career night, Runnels recorded her 1,000th kill as a Ram and now has 185 in total this season. CSU will continue conference play and put their 12game winning streak on the line against Air Force Academy on Saturday, Oct. 5 on the road. The Rams will return to Moby Arena on Thursday, Oct. 10 against California State University, Fresno. Sergio Santistevan can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

CSU football hosts San Diego State for Homecoming game By Junior Guerrero @juniorg45

Homecoming week is special for not only the players but the students as well. Families will join in on the festivities throughout the week leading up to Saturday, with the game being the cherry on top. After an extremely close battle against Utah State that resulted in a loss, the Rams look to bounce back in a big way in front of their home fans. Picking up a victory in front of the Rams faithful might be the spark this team needs to get them over the hump. “It’s a pivotal game for us, just being transparent and honest; … we need something good to happen,” Head Coach Mike Bobo said. “These guys are working extremely hard, they’re playing hard and we feel like if we could get over the hump, we can start putting something together.” The Rams consistently find themselves in close battles with the opposing teams week after

week. Unfortunately, they’ve come up short on multiple occasions throughout this season. They have what it takes to play with anyone on their schedule, and the next step is to put it all together and pick up wins. Heading into Saturday, San Diego State carries a 3-1 record on the season. Their only loss came two weeks ago when they suffered a 23-17 loss to Utah State at home. Not only are the Aztecs having a great start to the season, but they’ll look to spoil Homecoming for the Rams. The Aztecs are a reasonably balanced football team. They like to run the ball early and get into manageable situations that they can convert through the air. They average about 20 points a game and around 350 total yards of offense per game. They have a good running game and have become more comfortable running a new offense this season with each game they’ve played. Slowing down running back Juwan Washington will be key for the Rams, as they’ve struggled to

stop the run. On the flip side of the ball, the Aztecs present a stingy and physical defense that allows only 11.8 points per game. “It’s going to be a very, very physical football game,” Bobo said. “Any time you play San Diego State, it’s going to be physical.” The Rams will have to be on their A game in order to be victorious. They will need to establish the run game early in order to gain control and keep the offense from being one dimensional. This might be a tough task considering starting running back Marvin Kinsey Jr. looks to be in the dog house. After some ball security issues on Saturday against Utah State, Kinsey will likely see a dramatic dip in snaps. This means that the next man up is Denver native Marcus McElroy. McElroy is a 218-pound bruiser that will need to prove something to the coaching staff in order to gain their trust. “He had a great practice today,” Bobo said. “He needed to show us that he wanted

to be the man, and I thought he ran hard. I think he (had) a great mindset this week, and he knows that he’s going to get an opportunity.” The Rams need to find a way to play a clean football game. Penalties can kill drives, but turnovers will lose the team games. They finally had success last week as they were able to

generate four turnovers against Utah State. If they can stay within themselves and play a sound football game, the Rams can be victorious and pick up a much needed win. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. MT and will be televised on ESPN2. Junior Guerrero can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Comedy >> from page 1 “Sometimes comedians just poke fun to poke fun, and I feel like they are able to make jokes and (make) it not feel weird and uncomfortable.” The event, organized by the Native American Cultural Center, marks the first time a Native American troupe has been invited to perform for Homecoming comedy night, and boy, did they run with it. Taking back the narrative of 600 years of crushing oppression and churning out a hilarious set is a difficult feat, but the 1491s do it spectacularly. These topics are especially necessary here at CSU, where the tarnished history of the school’s establishment is often forgotten. “CSU is celebrating our 150th anniversary, which is why I recommended them as the comedy show,” Kelly said. “They talk about settler colonialism and colonization, which is a part of CSU’s history, but we sometimes don’t talk about it. We have a very solid Native community in Fort Collins and (with) our students, so that’s why I thought it was really important and pretty fitting I think for the year.”

“November is Native American Heritage Month, and I hope people start to hear these narratives and think a little bit more clearly about how they talk about Native and Indigenous populations.” TIFFANI KELLY ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURAL CENTER

The troupe shines in their ability to connect with their audience in such a way that makes even the most absurd, cringeworthy topics palatable to a wide audience. After all, there aren’t too many groups who can bring an old Native American grandmother to tears over a semen-covered snare drum, yet the 1491s pull off this feat with ease. They open up the conversation on nativism in a unique and unifying way that is difficult to do, especially in our contemporary, ultra-polarized world. This comes from the troupe’s deep-seated understanding of story and their commitment to comedy as a universal language of mankind. Their comedy isn’t dolled up with all the glitz and glam that one finds from many main-

stream comedians, who are constantly seeking to stake a claim in their given industry through mere shock value. The 1491s are shocking, but it’s not the shock that sells the show: it’s the characters and the troupe’s commitment to making those characters real and relatable. The characters highlight universal human idiosyncrasies first, allowing them to connect with a wider audience and displaying them through a unique and informative lens. “It definitely appealed to different levels of Native culture, just making fun of (themes and topics) we’re not traditionally allowed to laugh about,” said audience member Cetan Christensen. While it can often feel uncomfortable to laugh at events and situations that don’t affect one’s culture personally, the wonderful and brilliant thing about the 1491s is the way that they actively seek to bring non-Native people in on their jokes, without distracting from their comic flow. Comedians can have a tendency to struggle to bridge cultural gaps through the jokes themselves, often resorting to long-winded explanations to set up their punchline, but for the 1491s, those are unnecessary. The realness of their characters makes any background information one may need superfluous. The characters, not the context, are what give life to the sketches. “I think because they were

relatable, despite speaking for a lot of ... Native American experiences, they related to a lot of other people,” said Marcel Jardeleza, an audience member. “I’m not Native, but I found their comedy to be hilarious.” Transcendence, not just inclusivity, is what sets the 1491s

apart from others. They do not turn issues that Native Americans face into something to be pitied, just something that needs to be accepted and understood. They are willing to bridge the gap and forge connections with the groups who most often shy away from it.

“November is Native American Heritage Month, and I hope people start to hear these narratives and think a little bit more clearly about how they talk about Native and Indigenous populations,” Kelly said. Scott Powell can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

New Fort Collins app promises free drinks and adventure By Ty Davis @TydavisACW

Enter a brand new reason to explore the vast amount of bars in Fort Collins. The app Tab Hop, which launched on Sept. 10, promises one free drink every day to local Fort Collins locations. The app was founded by locals Grant Robinson and Parker Fisher, both former Colorado State University students. Robinson studied business management and entrepreneurship, while Fisher studied communications and real estate. The two met through their participation in the Young Life program at CSU, specifically when Robinson tried to date Fisher’s cousin. Though the relationship didn’t work out, Robinson and Fisher became quick friends. They even have matching tattoos of the word “yes” on their thighs. “Of everyone I’ve come across in my life, Grant (Robinson is) the yes-man,” Fisher said. “So him and I have always found we’re willing to take risks and live adventurously.” The idea for the app started when Robinson took a trip to London in November 2018. A friend of Robinson’s was using a meal planning app that brought users to the restaurants, instead of meal planning apps in the United States that bring meals to users. When Robinson returned to the U.S., inspired by the app, he told Fisher about the potential business venture.

“Parker (Fisher has) always been the main person where I’m like ‘Hey, what do you think of this idea,’” Robinson said. “(We were) just trying to shoot from the hip and come up with something.” The two brainstormed for almost a month before they finalized the idea that would become Tab Hop. With the idea complete, but no experience in programming, they contacted Denver-based company CrateBind. According to Fisher and Robinson, CrateBind is known for its work with established companies, not experimental products and start-ups, but the company was receptive to their idea and produced a prototype. With drained savings and investors on board, the last hurdle was to find businesses willing to sacrifice a free drink for the promise of returning customers. “We didn’t even know if it was something that could be done, if places were willing to give up a free drink to attract new customers; (it) sounded like a pretty big thing to ask,” Fisher said. According to both creators, businesses were ecstatic at the idea of an app that would get new customers in the door and incentivize repeat drinks. “We got an overwhelming yes, which led to big names like Odell’s and New Belgium signing up,” Fisher said. “From that, we got a lot more confidence and momentum and started rolling.” Businesses were especially interested in the benefits, with lim-

itations on exploitation. “One of the main reasons we have the feature built in ... where you can only visit the same place twice in a month, (is that it) not only protects the venue from having their regulars come in every single day to get a free drink, but it encourages the user to go explore the city,” Fisher said. Odell Brewing Taproom Manager Bethany Cloud confirmed that almost all of the users who come into the taproom on the first day of allowing the app came back for a second round. The IOS version of the app released on Aug. 10, and the Android version released Sept. 6. In just under two months of release, the app has already partnered with 33 locations and has been featured in some of Fort Collins’ biggest events like Tour de Fat, Bohemian Nights and Fortoberfest. The creators hope to expand even further, citing the ultimate goal to be in all 50 states. “You’re getting new people in the door who might not have tried that brewery yet,” Cloud said. “Tab Hop is a good way to drive business for business owners. It’s really a great marketing tool for everyone; I think that will be really successful for (Robinson and Fisher).” A few of local Tab Hop partners include Avogadro’s Number, Emporium Sports Bar, Pizza Casbah and Odell Brewing Company.

Lighting of the A reveals decades-long traditions By Sam Sedoryk @samsedoryk

Colorado State University’s Aggie A, positioned prominently on the western hills of Fort Collins, stands as a symbol of CSU pride. The Homecoming tradition of lighting the A has brought excitement for the coming football season for many years now, but many people don’t know the story behind it. In fact, this custom goes back nearly 100 years. In 1923, the students at the Colorado Agricultural College voted to assemble the large A for the Aggies, which was the CSU mascot at the time. The idea behind the A was to encourage school spirit for students. Now, nearly 100 years later, freshmen preserve the tradition by repainting the A annually. During the 1940s after the war, many returning veterans and new students wanted to bring back the old traditions of pre-war sentiments like the Homecoming football games. This introduced the lighting of the A and began a new Homecoming tradition for the

next several decades. Over the years, the A was traditionally lit by Greek pledges. The A was lit by using a large coffee can that contained a roll of toilet paper doused in gasoline. This method created a significant concern for forest fires, and in 1991, the traditional lighting of the A and the bonfire were banned from campus. In 1995, the A was registered in the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties, but it wasn’t until 2000 that the historic tradition of illuminating the landmark was returned to the students. Wishing to rekindle the historic tradition with a more modern, sustainable twist, then Associated Students of CSU President Joe Urban assembled on-campus organizations and the Fort Collins Natural Area to ensure a safe way to return the Homecoming custom. Now, the lighting of the A has been passed to second-year students. In 2013, the organization Year2@CSU worked with the Alumni Center to ensure the tradition would be kept as an integral part of Homecoming week. “Year 2@CSU helps second-year students keep their com-

mitment at CSU by participating in University traditions and being involved in the Homecoming event,” said Courtney Conrad, coordinator of the Orientation and Transition Programs. The A, which was once used to symbolize and represent the Aggies, now has become a landmark for CSU and Fort Collins. “I remember when it was lit, everyone was really happy and cheering about it,” said Nathan Gray, a second-year member of the marching band. “I think it’s really (a) resemblance of how (we) act toward sporting events and how we don that spirit and pride as it brings us all together to enjoy the lighting.” With the help and support of students and faculty, the presence of the A revives back-to-school excitement and reminds us of our agricultural heritage here at CSU. “The A (is) such a symbol of tradition here at CSU, and to infuse that into Homecoming is important,” said Keith Lopez, associate director for Orientation and Transition Programs.
