Transparency, student issues dominate ASCSU Presidential debate By Natalia Sperry @Natalia_Sperry

Editor’s Note: Allec Brust and her running mate, Mareena Winchell, were previously employed for the Rocky Mountain Collegian. Brust was the former Collegian opinion editor, and Winchell was a former reporter for the Collegian arts and culture desk. Both so-called buzzwords such as objectivity and transparency, as well as concrete issues such as student fees and parking, dominated the Associated Students of Colorado State University debate the Lory Student Center Theatre on Wednesday night. The night began with a debate between the two speaker of the senate candidates, followed by an hour and a half long debate between the presidential platforms. Merall Sheriff and Ben Amundson, the candidates for speaker of the senate, discussed objectivity and the image of the Senate, especially in regards to issues such as the bias-motivated incidents on campus. In addressing these issues, Sheriff said she wants to facilitate a bipartisan environment in the Senate that involves leaving personal politics at the door. “I don’t think that it is appropriate for senators to bring their personal agendas because

the job of senators is to be able to advocate for their entire constituency,” Sheriff said. “If I came in there and I used my time to push my own personal views, or in my potential role as Speaker allowed others to push their personal views, I don’t think that we would be facilitating a bipartisan environment that focuses on students.” Amundson argued later that, in addressing issues like the bias-motivated incidents, people must be willing to engage in uncomfortable conversations, and that students have a right to discuss their political beliefs on campus. “I think the only way that we change people we disagree with is to have uncomfortable conversations with them,” Amundson said. In the presidential debates, candidates discussed the issue of transparency in ASCSU, with some such as Liam Aubrey and Linsey Roper questioning what the oft-used campaign word really means. “We can talk about this until we’re blue in the face, and we have ... But at the end of the day, what are we being transparent about?” Aubrey said. “We need to make sure that every dollar that is spent in ASCSU is spent more effectively for the students. We need to make sure that all the time we spend is spent more effectively for the

students, because right now if we were to be transparent, it would be pretty uninteresting to the students or they’d just be mad at all the money they put into ASCSU isn’t being spent on them nearly as much as it should be.” Jacob Epperson and Carter Hill said they believe the key to transparency is having something simple enough to relate to the students, and that improving ASCSU’s website is essential. “I don’t understand how a typical student can understand where their fees are going,” Epperson said. “We need to create a platform where we can be transparent, where they do understand what happens and where they can find it, such as the website starting first.” Tristan Syron and Kevin Sullivan countered that the issue of transparency is often overcomplicated, but there is still more ASCSU could be doing. Updating the website alone is not the sole solution. “You could make the most interactive website in the world ... and people still wouldn’t go to it,” Syron said. “You have to start doing things to incentivize people to go to that. You need to put more things on the table.” Allec Brust and Mareena Winchell discussed their belief in outreach and communication in addressing transparency among all students, including

those ASCSU does not typically recognize. “We also need to be transparent about what ASCSU is here for, and that is that it is a learning institution,” Brust said. “I think that in order for us to be fully transparent with the student body (and) with the ASCSU body, we have to recognize what ASCSU is here for.” In the second half of the debate, candidates discussed platform issues such as student fees, parking and affordability of student living. Epperson and Hill addressed their campaign platform of offsetting student fee increases while also funding academic resources such as The Institute of Learning and Teaching. “When it comes down to it, a lot of times the things that we’re spending money on aren’t particularly important to students of ASCSU,” Hill said. “So that’s what we’re going to advocate for, taking that money and spending it on things that are really important to the students, in particular, academics. . . preventing interpersonal violence and. . . giving it back to what the students want and what the students need.” Aubrey and Roper addressed their campaign’s focus on food insecurity by supporting preexisting programs on campus. “We recognize that need, and we recognize that there are

programs already on this campus looking to deal with that issue,” Aubrey said. “What better way could we spend student fees, to let the students know that they won’t go hungry?” Syron and Sullivan explained their platform for improving parking by implementing 2-hour parking available on campus, especially in high-traffic areas such as the Library and LSC lots. “As (Epperson and Hill say), parking should be a service. Stop this for-profit nonsense,” Syron said. “We need to make it so that you can eat, you can park and you can get to school.” In response to their campaign being the only one without a platform addressing food insecurity, Brust and Winchell said it is important to recognize that, while there are students with food insecurity on this campus, there are also issues such as bias-motivated incidents that may have more proximity to campus-life. “Yes, I believe food insecurity is a problem, but I believe oncampus proximity-wise, there are numerous other things that we can be tackling, like the bias-motivated incidents,” Winchell said. “Being an RA, that was horrendous to witness my residents not feeling welcomed or loved on this campus.” Natalia Sperry can be reached at news@collegian.com.

ASCSU election guide

Presidential candidate Liam Aubrey with Lynsie Roper By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98

The “Rams take care of Rams” mentality is the main priority for presidential candidate Liam Aubrey and his running mate Lynsie Roper as they contest for the presidency of the Associated Students of Colorado State University. Liam Aubrey, Presidential Candidate Aubrey, a junior studying business marketing, currently serves as an ASCSU senator for the College of Business. Aubrey said his decision to run for student body president stemmed from the experience his mother had as a student at CSU. “Here at CSU, (my mom) found a place where people were constantly supporting her and fighting for her, and making sure that she had what she needed to pursue her education,” Aubrey said. “The concern and the regard for your fellow Rams has been something that, for my entire

life, has inspired loyalty in me to CSU, and the opportunity to serve others and be that support to someone else, to fight for other students who need that help on their educational journey, is an opportunity that I just couldn’t pass up.” Lynsie Roper, Vice Presidential Candidate Roper, a junior finance major, is the only vice presidential candidate who sits on the Student Fee Review Board, which is one of the main responsibilities of the ASCSU vice president. “I feel like I have that opportunity to already build those relationships with the student fee areas, including being a liaison for one of them and being able to hear them out,” Roper said. “(I) know those budgets, know how (SFRB) is run in order to continue that and make those changes to make it more effective and make sure that student fee areas are using the student fee to the students’

best interest.” Roper said she decided to run because she built relationships through her experience in SFRB and considers CSU her home. Their platform Aubrey-Roper’s platform focuses on the issue of food insecurity for students, promoting professional development for students and preventing an increase of the ASCSU student fee. “The biggest issue that we can do something about tangibly right away is the issue of food insecurity on campus,” Aubrey said. “We really are unable to grasp fully how big of an issue this might be just because it is something that is hard to get the numbers on.” Roper said she and Aubrey plan to combat biasmotivated incidents on campus by working with other student groups affected by the incidents. “... ASCSU has a unique position to really start those conversations with students

and really engage students, administration, faculty -really everyone on campus -in having conversations about that,” Roper said. “One thing we can do if we do become president and vice president is partner with different organizations, offices and the administration to create more

conversations and committees to really engage in those discussions and make a plan for what’s next once we get all the insights from students and what they would like to see and we can make a plan that way.” Haley Candelario can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Presidential candidate Allec Brust with Mareena Winchell By Natalia Sperry @Natalia_Sperry

Editor’s Note: Allec Brust and her running mate, Mareena Winchell, were previously employed for The Rocky Mountain Collegian. Brust was the former Collegian opinion editor, and Winchell was a former reporter for The Collegian arts and culture desk. With outside perspective and media experience, Allec Brust and Mareena Winchell emphasize representation, communication and diversity of thought in their campaign for president and vice president of Associated Students of Colorado State University. “We really want to bring diversity of thought,” Brust said. “Everybody always wants everyone to look different but think the same, and we really want everyone to look different and think differently as well.” Allec Brust, Presidential Candidate Brust, the former editor and director of Collegian’s opinion desk, is a junior journalism and communications major. Brust said her former role of managing opinion columns prepared her to start conversations on campus. Part

of Brust’s motivation to run for president stems from a lack of such conversations in ASCSU this academic year, especially about issues such as the bias-motivated incidents on campus. “One thing I really had a problem with ASCSU in general and the CSU community as a whole is that we had a lot of biasmotivated incidents on campus this year,” Brust said. “I found it a little bit upsetting that ASCSU actually didn’t bring notice to this issue until this semester when some of these problems were happening at the beginning of last semester.” Mareena Winchell, Vice Presidential Candidate Mareena Winchell is a junior journalism and communications major, like Brust. On-campus she has worked as a Resident Assistant, an Orientation Leader both last summer and this upcoming year and in the Alumni Association. Though Winchell never envisioned herself running for a position like vice president, she hopes to serve as a demonstration to others throughout campus who don’t think they can take on powerful

roles in the University. In improving transparency and representation, Winchell wants to get out the voices of students that don’t typically get politically involved. “We think we’ve heard a lot of student opinions and voices, so we want to bring those voices to ASCSU and change the University from the inside out, I would say, starting with students and ending with the students,” Winchell said. Their platform Brust and Winchell both think their outside perspectives as students and as journalists will help to fix several of the key issues discussed in the student body elections process thus far, including transparency and accessibility. “We want people coming to us that have differing opinions, we don’t want anybody to be scared of their own opinions and of their ideas and of us because of the perceived stereotype of ASCSU,” Brust said. As part of their emphasis on transparency, Brust said their campaign does not plan to raise student fees in any way. The campaign met with the Student Leadership, Involvement and

Community Engagement office to discuss student fees. “We talked about reallocating resources and what that looks like. We didn’t want to be the campaign that said we’re going to keep costs low or we’re going to raise them, we wanted to be the ones that kept it transparent with students.” Brust believes there is a disconnect between ASCSU and the rest of the student body, as students who want

to be political are involved in ASCSU, leaving smaller student groups underrepresented on campus. “I think that it is our job as student leaders really to reach out and push for representation. Representation doesn’t just happen,” Brust said. “You have to be out there, you have to be talking to the students and really getting the student voice.” Natalia Sperry can be reached at news@collegian.com.

ASCSU election guide Presidential candidate Jacob Epperson with Carter Hill By Natalia Sperry @Natalia_Sperry

For Jacob Epperson and Carter Hill, service to the students is key to improving accountability and transparency within the Associated Students of Colorado State University. “We feel we need to bring back an ideal of what we like to call ‘servant leadership,’ which is serving the students through leadership and service,” Epperson said. “We want to instill that one, through the hiring process, and two, working together collaboratively.” Jacob Epperson, Presidential Candidate Jacob Epperson, junior political science major, is the current president of the Interfraternity Council at CSU. Previously he served as a senator on the Undeclared Leadership Council for the Intra-University, representing undeclared students, while also concurrently serving as president of Pi Kappa Phi. Epperson believes the campaigns’ background in

service not only prepares them for their role, but sets them apart from other candidates. “Carter and I, our entire collegiate careers, have been working on service towards the students,” Epperson said. “Now we want to bring that to a bigger stage to bring that true work ethic and service into ASCSU.” Carter Hill, Vice Presidential Candidate Carter Hill is a sophomore double major in political science and communications. He currently serves a chair member on the Officer of Fraternity and Sorority Life Interpersonal Violence Committee and is the Vice President of Philanthropy and Community Service for the Interfraternity Council. Although Hill has no prior experience with ASCSU, he credits his experience in the classroom as a Teaching Assistant in the department of Mathematics as having prepared him to answer the needs of students, especially of those from traditionally underrepresented academic populations such as students

with disabilities and international students. Hill said the lack of transparency in ASCSU drove him to action, especially in the area of student fees. “Honestly, what happens in those chambers doesn’t even get communicated to the students,” Hill said. “We really just want to engage in a more communicative experience and really give power back to the students because that’s what we’re here to represent, and that’s what they deserve.” Their platform In their emphasis on accountability and transparency, Epperson and Hill want to take on the issues of students that they feel frequently go unnoticed on campus through advocacy. Hill said something that sets their campaign apart from the others is their adamant stance against sexual assault on-campus. “Sexual assault happens on this campus, sexual assault is a problem on this campus and sexual assault needs to stop now,” Hill said. “We are so adamant and clear about

standing up both for victims and survivors of sexual assault and really doing all that we can to prevent something like that from happening on this campus in any context whatsoever.” Epperson and Hill also want to make sure that ASCSU is being fully transparent with the students it represents. “Basically, when it comes to communicating with the

students, you ask the average person on this campus if they know what ASCSU does and they have no idea,” Hill said. “That’s ridiculous, because those are their representatives elected to represent them and their needs.” Natalia Sperry can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Presidential candidate Tristan Syron with Kevin Sullivan By Rachel Telljohn @racheltelljohn

Setting the standard is among the main priorities of the Tristan Syron and Kevin Sullivan campaign this Associated Students of Colorado State University election season. The two have campaigned on the Plaza this week with their slogan, “Setting the Standard.” Syron responded to why this is their chosen branding. “Standards have been disregarded,” Syron said. Syron went on to cite academic and parking expectations as two examples of those disregarded standards. Syron said the student government did represent the students for a long time and described when the student government barricaded themselves in the office with beer after the 1960s’ campuswide prohibition. “There are a lot of things that students expect, that they want, and it doesn’t happen,” Syron said. “We’re saying

setting the standard right back to where it should be.” Tristan Syron, Presidential candidate Syron is the Chair of University Facility Fee Advisory Board, a senator for two years, college council president and currently works in Student Legal Services. Syron was the Director of Campus Engagement at the beginning of the year and approached different student groups to ask what frustrations they had with campus. “Nothin’,” Syron said of the response from ASCSU to the expressed frustrations. “There just wasn’t a lot of, ‘Let’s take it up.’” Syron said he could not do much as the Director of Campus Engagement, but decided to take it upon himself to fix the issues. Kevin Sullivan, Vice Presidential candidate Sullivan is part of the ASCSU Undeclared Leadership Council and serves in senate leadership as recruitment and retention officer.

Sullivan joined ASCSU around election season in the spring of 2017. “I felt like I didn’t understand what ASCSU was doing,” Sullivan said. He said he decided then to do what he could to make ASCSU better. After about a year in senate, he got into senate leadership within three weeks. “I passed a bill with my best friend right here.” Their platform The first part of their platform Syron wants to hit on is parking. Syron said students should be able to expect reasonable parking. “Parking’s a mess,” Syron said. “You can’t pass classes if you can’t afford to get there.” Sullivan said they are not running on vague concepts and, ideally, by the end of their term, students would be able to see marked changes. Sullivan said it is easy for all of the campaigns to promote ideas like community. “We’re not running on buzzwords,” Sullivan said. “We want to offer tangible things

that will change.” Syron said they would like course surveys to be available online, to save paperwork, and that they should be available on Canvas at a later date for students to view, as a kind of modified, internal RateMyProfessor. Sullivan said every campaign wants to promise the end of U+2 and said their

campaign should help to advertise a bypass or waiver for the policy. Syron said they counted the problems brought to them by students and figured out how to fix them. “Our platforms are really student focused,” Syron said. Rachel Telljohn can be reached at news@collegian.com

ASCSU Speaker of the Senate candidates plan to diversify conversations By Natalia Sperry @Natalia_Sperry

Editor’s Note: This article was originally published in the Collegian on March 22. Last year, the Associated Students of Colorado State University introduced a new leadership role intended to lead the weekly Senate sessions by adding the Speaker of the Senate position to the ballot. The Speaker of the Senate acts as the representative and leader of the legislative branch, which in turn serves as a direct line of representation for the student body, through academic colleges, the Student Diversity Programs and Services offices and student councils across the University, according to ASCSU. A year after the position was added to the ballot, two candidates, Benjamin Amundson and Merall Sherif, look to the future both of the position and of the Senate. Benjamin Amundson Amundson is a freshman agricultural business major who currently serves as a senator for the College of Agriculture and a member of the ASCSU External Affairs Committee. “Ultimately, I think that if you have a passion and desire for change, then you can instill that change,” Amundson said. “It’s not necessarily about your past as much as it is about what you want to do with your future.” Amundson said his campaign centers around the goals of serving students, developing dialogue and cultivating compassion. As Speaker of the Senate, Amundson said he would encourage all ASCSU members to engage in service to the community. “It’s not enough to talk about issues,” Amundson said. “Every single person involved in student government should be doing community service and community engagement projects.” Those ideas led Amundson to donate his privately raised campaign funds to survivors of Hurricane Harvey. “We believe that the power of a positive message is greater than campaign money,” Amundson said. “Even if we don’t win, giving away the money was worth the positive message.” Another goal as Amundson said he has for Speaker of the Senate would be to develop inclusive dialogue representative of all perspectives. He also encourages all Senators to meet with their constituents in order to contribute to that dialogue as representatives. “People are against the

idea of having uncomfortable conversations,” Amundson said. “But, I believe that uncomfortable dialogue is tough to go through, but it’s necessary to go through.” Having grown up in Indonesia and Venezuela before moving to Colorado, Amundson said his experiences in International Schools prepared him to facilitate dialogue in the Senate as Speaker. “I believe the goal of the Senate is to reach collective action. My past -- where I lived in such diverse places like International Schools -- taught me it is more important to focus on what we have in common than what we have that is different,” Amundson said. “(In Senate) we have a lot of different ideas and perspectives, but what do we have in common, and what common ground can we reach to solve those issues on campus?” Merall Sherif Sherif is a sophomore premedical student double majoring in neuroscience and biology. She currently serves as the senator for the Women and Gender Advocacy Center, Senate power chair, Vice Chair of University Issues Committee, Health Network liaison for the Student Fee Review Board and Vice President of ASCSU’s Multi-Faith and Belief Council. Sherif also recently founded the ASCSU Women’s Caucus and is the only student representative of the Faith and Cultural Inclusion sub-committee of President Tony Frank’s Commission for Diversity and Inclusion. “I didn’t know that I could get involved in student government.” Sherif said. “I thought it was out of my reach.” Sherif said her campaign centers around the goals of promoting accountability and connection. In doing so, she hopes to improve the internal workings of ASCSU and facilitate a space

where traditionally unheard voices can be heard. “Moving from senator in my current capacity to speaker in the capacity of facilitating things, I have to be impartial,” Sherif said. “But, I also can create frameworks and a system to where senators can be linked up with their students.” Those frameworks include creating a suggestion box in the ASCSU office and on their website that can connect all online and traditional students directly to their representatives, in addition to a mentoring program to help educate new senators and promote networking within the entirety of student government. All of these frameworks are intended to promote an inclusive environment in the Senate that is conducive to producing tangible legislation and accountability, Sherif said. “ASCSU, in this year and former years, has been often criticized as mostly focusing on internal bills all the time that ultimately end up in a file cabinet,” Sherif said. “We end up standing in support of something, but what are we doing when we’re standing in support? We don’t take the step afterwards.” In order to address all of these issues, Sherif said she plans on building time into every Senate session for honest conversations. “What I’ve learned in my capacity as senator is that we may all have different beliefs, different political affiliations and different backgrounds, but we need to all have faith in each other,” Sherif said. “We need to be able to have room for diverse conversations to happen (and) for real talk to be built into the agenda for the senate session, and that’s something I plan to do.” Collegian reporter Natalia Sperry can be reached at news@ collegian.com.

Breakdown of ASCSU budget system By Austin Fleskes @Austinfleskes07

The Associated Students of Colorado State University serve a number of roles for CSU and its members. One of these purposes includes budgeting – breaking down who gets what money, where the money comes from and how it can be used. However, many students on campus are not aware of how the ASCSU budget system works or how it is broken down. The budgeting system for ASCSU is overseen by two individuals: Robert Leonard, the director of finance, and Kyle Steinhoff, the controller. “Each administration decides how they want to run this office each year,” Leonard said. “Kyle takes the internal ASCSU spending and I take the (Board for Student Organization Funding) grant.” Part of Steinhoff’s responsibilities as controller for ASCSU is working on and managing the Controller Book. The Controller Book, which helps catalog and work out the spending within ASCSU, is broken up by department, such as the president, vice president, finance, innovation tech and more, each with their

own breakdown. These breakdowns are put together with each new administration, and while administrations are given advice on how it can be set up, it is up to the discretion of the administration. “We really strive for each department to do what they want and implement new ideas and themes, within reason” Steinhoff said. “Obviously, we don’t want a bunch of loose stuff and money going places we don’t agree with.” Departments looking for funding will fill out a Request for Financial Documentation form, which includes who the payment is for, why it is needed, when it is needed by, where the event or reason for funding will be, what the event is and how many people will be in attendance, as well as what the goal of the event or reason is. The form must then be approved by the president and vice president of ASCSU as well as either Steinhoff or Leonard. “That’s kind of a safety precaution,” Steinhoff said. “That way no one can come in and be like, ‘I want to get x, y and z,’ and then they can just go out and spend. The president, VP and chief of staff will look into it and see if it is a

good use of our funds.” While Steinhoff controls the internal side of budgeting, Leonard is in charge of the Board for Student Organization Funding. The primary purpose of BSOF is to allocate a portion of the ASCSU Student fee, which is approved by the Board of Governers of the CSU System, to registered student organizations for “educational and cultural programming and to administer relevant provisions of Article VIII of the ASCSU Constitution,” according to the ASCSU Department of Finance website. BSOF also assists registered student organizations in fundraising and “discovering alternative income sources.” An RSO can request ASCSU funding for anything from room reservations to honorariums for speakers. However, some items such as food or raffle tickets are not funded, as explained in the BSOF bylaws. If a group wants to put on an event, they apply through BSOF and come to present their reasoning. The BSOF Board can then either approve or deny the request. Leonard explained most of

ASCSU seen from the Plaza. PHOTO BY COLIN SHEPHERD COLLEGIAN

the funding spent by ASCSU generally goes towards senate bills, which are pulled from a discretionary fund. “That’s what it exists for. For bills and things like that, for ASCSU to do things,” Leonard said. “Individual director budgets aren’t that big in comparison.” Leonard and Steinhoff explained the system runs very smoothly. “There are a lot of checks,” Leonard said. “Even if we have an oversight, it’s really hard for more money to be

spent than there is.” Steinhoff explained that both he and Leonard will check over the others work, with assistance from the Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement office, who helps to oversee funding and budgeting. “It’s not impossible for people to overspend, but it would be really hard,” Steinhoff said.

I’m glad I overcame my initial reticence because it has certainly been one of the highlights of my college career thus far. The group that I work with is one of the most fun and engaging groups of people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Even though we disagree strenuously on pretty much every political issue under the sun, we still have plenty of fun and get along quite well at our meetings.

The world is a lot more interesting, and life more valuable, when you have an open mind. The opinion desk has created an environment in which opinions can be changed and explored, because of the lenses through which our writers view the world. Ryan and Josh always amaze me with their political knowledge, and Michelle is a wealth of health knowledge, just to name a few. We all get along, and despite some varying viewpoints on certain issues or events, discussion is never reduced to shouting matches, nor does anyone try and force their opinion onto others.

In a time when as a university, as a country and as a society, we seem to be more divided than ever, being able to work with people who are different from us is crucial. While many individuals have argued over the cause of the disease that is hate-motivated incidents on campus, the cure is much more straightforward. We have to focus on what unites us and not what divides us. If we in the opinion desk, all with wildly different opinions, backgrounds and beliefs, can come together, CSU can too.

Above anything else, writing as a columnist for CSU’s opinion desk has made me open-minded. This desk is filled with so many intelligent people, who sit on all sides of the political spectrum, and regardless of those differences we all have a very strong friendship; our meetings are always filled with respectful debate, friendly discourse, and uncontrollable laughter. This desk has taught me that no matter someone’s opinion, friendship can always flourish. Regardless of our differing opinions, our desk is united in our desire for the excellence of The Collegian and CSU, and we’ve created strong, lasting friendships because of it.

Working for the opinion desk has been a new and excellent experience for me. It’s easy to get caught in an echo chamber. The opinion desk ensures that will never happen. I have been fortunate enough to take over as the editor of the desk, and the respect shown by every member of the staff for one another’s opinions has blown me away. Our meetings are full of discussion, with a staff of people who honestly try to understand each other’s views. Most of us differ vastly in just about every possible way. Nevertheless, we manage to have good, honest conversations, and to respect one another and our different opinions. And if people as different as us can do that, anyone can.

I have had the privilege of working at the opinion desk of The Rocky Mountain Collegian for the past 14 months. During that time, I’ve met some with views far more liberal than my own and some great conservative ones, but these ideologies cannot be reduced to a single partisan label. I’ve worked with the religiously committed, the agnostic, the atheistic. Before coming to CSU, I didn’t think much about concepts like diversity or unity. I’m happy to say that my time with The Collegian has changed that. Above all, working as an opinion writer has taught me that every voice has validity. These voices must communicate effectively with one another if we ever hope to achieve consensus on issues that would otherwise divide us.

The best way to represent and incorporate the variety opinions on campus is to have people writing on our desk. We don’t hold the same beliefs, but we talk to each other. It’s important we start building bridges instead of burning them. We are all Rams, and at the end of the day we all want the same things. We need to start talking about why we disagree or why we think the way we do. In the wise words of Maya Angelou: “The variety of our skin tones can confuse, bemuse, delight, brown and pink and beige and purple, tan and blue and white....” I note the obvious differences between each sort and type, but we are more alike than we are unalike.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

How women shaped The Collegian Erin Douglas @erinmdouglas23

In 126 years of publishing The Collegian, we’ve seen some pretty badass women. Now, at the end of women’s history month, we’re celebrating our majority women editorial board, staff and readership. In 1891, two women served on The Collegian’s first editorial board out of a team of six, 26 years before the 19th amendment was approved. Celia May Southworth, who was part of this first editorial board, was described as, “a feisty, intelligent advocate of college journalism,” in an account of The Collegian’s history. She wrote essays about womanhood in the workplace and how to avoid sacrificing her identity. According to The Collegian’s First 100 Years history, her writings show that she believed a woman could compete with a man in any field, and probably better than him, too. Her essays embrace femininity as a power rather than a detriment: “There is a vital principle now lacking in our government,” Southworth wrote in 1891. “This is the womanly quality which springs from the mother-heart.” She encouraged women to “have a higher ideal in life” than marriage, but she didn’t want to sacrifice her femininity to do it. She wanted simply to be. How to do it? Southworth wrote: “Choose friends who are brave enough and noble enough to rise above the social rottenness of the day.” In the 1910s, the paper would typically give pages over to campus groups at the end of the year. The women on campus submitted a poem in 1917 called “The Colorado Aggie Girl,” in which they selfdescribed women this way: “She’s pretty and she’s witty, and she’s nice to talk with too. She’s charming, clever, brilliant in her style.” In 1955, husband and wife Floyd and Connie Shoemaker ran The Collegian. Connie wanted to major in journalism, but it wasn’t offered. So, with the help of her husband, she pressured the University to create the department, and 13 years later, her husband became the first chair. But, Connie Shoemaker wasn’t done making her mark. She also pitched the idea for a ram as the new mascot. The campus liked it. In The Collegian’s early years, editorials called on students to get

more involved and organized on campus. In its later years, editorials pushed political boundaries. So, following in Southworth’s “feisty” footsteps, Vicki Hays, The Collegian’s managing editor, moved off campus without permission in 1964. At the time, the university did not allow women to live off campus unless they were married or in “approved” housing. Women also had a strict curfew of 11 p.m. That wasn’t going to work for Hays, who had to be at the paper well past 11 p.m. to get it to press the next day. She illegally moved to an offcampus apartment that was not on the dean of women’s approved list. The university gave her the option to move or be expelled. Hays chose neither: Instead, she staged a sit-in demonstration at the Dean of Women’s Office and used The Collegian as a forum to rally student activists. She blasted the administration for accusing her of “squawking” and refusing to “take her medicine.” Despite it all, Hays lost her appeal. But not without becoming the catalyst for years of activism from students on equal treatment for women on campus. In May of 1967, an estimated 2,500 students occupied Moby Gym, beginning at 10:45 p.m. and ending shortly before midnight, where men and women missed the women’s curfew. At the end of the month, President Morgan began to lift some of the rules. Eventually, the rules ceased to exist altogether. Years later, in 1971, Becky Martinez wanted to be a sports writer. Her editor wrote of her, “Women, in that time, did not become sports writers. But someone forgot to tell Martinez that, and off she went, covering CSU sports.” Today, 10 out of the 16 members of The Collegian’s editorial board are women. All top three positions are filled by women. Compared to our industry, like The Collegian editors before us, we’re ahead of our time. The average U.S. newsroom is 63 percent male. Only 4 percent of U.S. newsrooms have all top three positions filled by women. I often say that when I step forward, I step for 126 years. Women at The Collegian step for Celia, Aggie Girls, Connie, and Vicki and Becky. We aim to be brave and noble enough to go high, when society goes low. And we step for the next 126 years of feisty, intelligent, advocates of college journalism. Happy Women’s History Month. Off we go… Erin Douglas can be reached at editor@collegian.com.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

ASCSU works not for credit, but for impact By Lindsey Paricio @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. Dissension is a natural part of creating change. With that being said, ASCSU does not deserve the negative press it has been receiving. Yes, we have made mistakes this year. We are not a perfect system, and we freely and openly acknowledge this fact. It is important to look at the intentions of those who work to enact the legislation, programming and change. Yes, you may not agree with everything that we do. That is how it should be, because diversity is what makes our CSU incredible. There is a reason ASCSU is continually portrayed in a negative light by the media. It is because the majority of the ASCSU staff works to contribute to the CSU community, and they do not do it for the credit. Small steps make less exciting stories. We do all our work to help students. I am the deputy director of health and the director of food security initiatives through the ASCSU office. In my role this year, we created Pocket Pantries to provide students with safe

places to get a snack so they can get through the day. We published resources, including through YOU@CSU, on food security on campus. We are working to start a program to allow leftover food from catered events to go back to students. We are conducting a new and improved survey to gain an understanding of food and housing insecurity among students. Beginning new initiatives entails a vast amount of behind the scenes work. I write this to inform, and in hopes that people read this and take the initiative to do research before assuming ASCSU is not working for students. The recent article “Vassar: ASCSU fails to represent students” showed a lack of awareness toward the work that gets done. Every day I come to work and school to address “the stark reality of many college students going hungry.” I have worked on issues surrounding campus food insecurity for four years, and ASCSU heard me. They listened to what I had to say, and created an entire position to help address this particular need among students. ASCSU listened, and because of this, our food insecurity programs have impacted thousands of students this year. That doesn’t even take in to account the inspiring work of my colleagues. I was not involved with ASCSU at all until this, my senior, year. Honestly, I never wanted

to be, because the coverage I saw was always focused on what was going wrong. But this year has shown me how wrong I was. I have found an incredible community of humble, strong, dedicated people who work tirelessly to support the university they love. Yes, we disagree with each other sometimes. You generally hear about it more because we don’t try to quench the dissenting voices; instead, we welcome their opinions as a way to grow. To those who don’t agree with the way ASCSU works, thank you for voicing your concern. I invite you to come to the office and have an open deliberation with us, so we can actively work towards a mutual solution. My one request: Before talking badly about the organization, do your research. Understand who we are and the work we are trying to do. ASCSU works to make a positive impact, and sometimes we misstep. That is why we need you, the student body, to stand alongside us, because only through mutual support can we create a resilient and respectful CSU Ramily. If you have any ideas/ opinions/ thoughts or just want to have an open conversation, please contact me at ascsu_ foodinsecurities@mail.colostate. edu. Letters may be sent to letters@collegian.com. When submitting letters, please abide by the guidelines listed at collegian.com.

CLUB SPORTS

Jake Walker ready to cement his legacy for CSU baseball By Sergio Santistevan @TheRealsSergio

The call is motioned in from the Colorado State dugout. Catcher Jake Walker is focused and scanning the field as he gives his pitcher the signal. After a few seconds of eye contact and finger movements between the pitcher and Walker, a strike lands over the plate in Walker’s glove. Strike three. Game over. With his calm but competitive attitude, Walker celebrates the CSU club baseball team’s victory with his teammates over rival University of Wyoming on a sunny, Saturday afternoon in March. This winning feeling is nothing new to Walker, though, because that is all he has done in his career at CSU. However, the road here wasn’t easy for him. Growing up in Thornton, Colorado, Walker’s competitive nature began at an early age by playing basketball, football and baseball. Entering high school, he decided to stick with football and baseball. As a high school freshman, Walker stepped onto the practice field at Mountain Range High School in Westminster, Colorado looking to make an immediate impact. Up to this point in his baseball career, Walker knew nothing more than the outfield. However, Mountain Range had no returning catcher, so the position was up for grabs. He made the decision to step up and change positions, a decision that he hasn’t looked back on. Walker said as a catcher there are a million things running through your head during the game. He felt more into the game by constantly checking everyone’s positions, thinking about the next pitch and where to go with the ball. “It takes a lot of mental focus,” he said. “I like it.” After his freshman season, he realized he wanted to put all his dedication into the sport that captured his heart at five years old. “Jake has always loved baseball,” said high school friend and eventual girlfriend, Lindsey Sandoval. “Ever since I’ve known him he’s been obsessed with it.” His sophomore year, after giving up football and focusing solely on baseball, Walker was named the starting varsity catcher. In his senior season at Mountain Range, Walker rang up a .426 batting average to go along with 11 RBIs and 23 runs. Walker’s leadership was shown off the diamond as well as he was voted class president his senior year.

His resume was good enough to gain interest from some Division II and junior college teams. In the end, he decided to sign with a small Division III school, Texas Lutheran University in Seguin, Texas. Walker loved the baseball community at TLU and made a lot of friends, but after one semester, he decided to leave Seguin, assured it was no longer a good fit for him.

“It’s a good legacy in the threads that we wear. The foundation that the older guys gave me when i was a freshman, i want to make that same impact on the freshmen now.” JAKE WALKER CATCHER/TEAM PRESIDENT

“I don’t think he expected the transition from a fairly large high school to a small college to be so difficult,” Sandoval said. “Ultimately, he decided that he wasn’t as happy at TLU as he thought.” Upon leaving TLU, Walker had his eyes set on two homestate schools to transfer to: the University of Colorado and CSU. After talking to a few friends and Sandoval, who was enrolled at CSU, he settled on Fort Collins. Walker enrolled into classes not knowing whether he would continue playing baseball or not. Two weeks later, he joined the club baseball team. Club baseball isn’t like a normal NCAA program. The team is completely operated by the players from fundraising events, travel plans and scheduling. “I didn’t really know much about club baseball. I came out here and gave it a shot,” Walker said. “It’s been a great experience ever since.” Brett Bogner, current assistant and hitting coach of the baseball team, was team president at the time Walker joined the team. He has seen Walker grow from a quiet freshman to an outspoken leader in the past four years. Within less than a year on the team, Walker asserted himself as a leader and was voted vice president, which helped him understand all the steps that go into making a club team operate. “His leadership has grown tremendously,” Bogner said.

Following his vice presidency tenure, Walker became the club’s president. His first task as president was no small order: fire the head coach at the time. Walker says it was an awful situation to tell someone that he wasn’t welcome as head coach anymore. Nevertheless, this decision helped shaped Walker into the president he is today. “I would consider it a job, honestly,” Walker said. “Kind of like director of baseball operations in a college league.” Today, he is the only remaining player on the team from his freshmen season and is relied on for big decisions and being the guy who can take lead. Bogner says that Walker has stepped it up a notch as team president and leader, and can see his passion for the game. On game days, Walker is the last man to leave City Park Field. He makes sure everything is picked up and good to go before getting into his truck and heading home. With only a couple months remaining in the season, Walker realizes his accomplished career is nearing the end and can’t help but think of how far he has come as a player and person. He laughs when asked about himself as a freshman. Walker called himself immature and someone who had a bit of a temper problem. He’s happy he no longer overreacts to umpire calls and stopped carrying things that happened on the baseball field into his personal life. “Jake definitely took the losses more personally freshman year and would often get extremely frustrated with himself,” Sandoval said. “I think as he grew closer with the teammates he developed more of a connection with CSU’s team, and shifted his mindset from only wanting to win to just wanting to play.” A more mature, wiser Walker is now concentrated on finishing his legacy at CSU. He has won three straight conference championships and hopes to make it four, along with a regional championship. But the one missing piece from Walker’s resume is a national championship, which he will tell anyone is his biggest goal before he leaves. “You can tell he wants it really bad,” Bogner said. “He’s been so close a couple times.” In Bogner’s eyes the Rams had one of their most talented teams last season but failed to win the national championship. Sandoval notices Walker’s drive for the

championship, as well. “I can see Jake wants to win the championship so bad,” she said. “I think Jake wants a win to prove that the team is worth a lot more than people and the school may think.” This season, the Rams are young and still learning to play as a team. Bogner credits Walker for taking initiative and helping some of the younger players adjust. Bogner knows that it is going to take a lot to win the national championship this season, but that hasn’t stopped Walker from believing. Nevertheless, if Walker’s career ends without that elusive championship, he will still be proud that he upheld the legacy others before him paved. “It’s a good legacy in the threads that we wear,” Walker said. “The foundation that the older guys gave me when

I was a freshman, I want to make that same impact on the freshmen now.” Following graduation in May with an Economics degree, Walker plans to attend law school somewhere out of state and focus on changing the healthcare platform through healthcare law. Bogner is excited to see what Walker will achieve in his life after baseball. He knows CSU club baseball is designed to prepare young men like Walker for the journey to come. “It’s weird to think that his last game is coming up, and kind of crazy that this journey is coming to an end,” Sandoval said. No matter what destiny has in store for Walker’s team this season, he is ready to cement his legacy at CSU. Sergio Santistevan can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Medved must let go of bad eggs during recruitment process Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

The new season offers a new coach, new philosophy and an opportunity to clean up the mess that plagued the Colorado State men’s basketball team for much of last season A coaching staff in flux has given way to a sign of solidarity with the hiring of new head coach Niko Medved and the implementation of a system free of the trends that drove the program into a crater. The first step of the process: re-recruitment. Medved will now be faced with the unenviable task of convincing players from last year’s roster to find their spot on the newest iteration of Rams’ basketball. The players that Medved selects should fall into broad criteria expected out of any player playing on a scholarship for their university, an expectation of not quitting midway through games. Many alumni, fans and media around the program bared witness to what can only be defined as

a failure to play until the final buzzer sounded. One of the most resounding examples of the failure to respectfully represent the institution was a home matchup against Boise State in which the Rams were slaughtered 87-54 in front of their own fans. A 50-29 deficit going into the half, with the second half serving as an exhibition for the visiting Broncos, gave light to a team that quit on their interim coach and on those who have supported them. Jase Herl was handed the keys to a minivan with a leaky tire and broken windshield and did his best to repair it before the season came to an end. The problem with Herl was that regardless of what he did, success was not going to be found with a team that had already checked out. The act of quitting on their coach cost that coach an opportunity to be taken seriously for the candidacy, one that he deserved to be considered strongly for. Medved needs to make sure the same does not befall him and his staff. The problem is not the players’ skill level itself as they have showed numerous times in the brightest of lights. Players like Nico Carvacho piling up double-

doubles with ease, Prentiss Nixon showing flashes of the brilliance that former Ram Gian Clavell brought and Raquan Michell jumping higher than most humans can climb showed that each of the athletes on the team has the requisite skills to perform at a high level. Athletes can be found in many areas though. Medved must decipher which players will give him their full effort and attention for 40 minutes a game, each game of their schedule. What happened to the players last year was not all roses and sunshine. They were put into constant limbo with their head coaching situation, without even being informed of their coaches’ leave of absence prior to the general public finding out. That is on Joe Parker, a mistake that he has rectified. They in turn staged a boycott of a practice, a worthy measure for the injustice done to them by their leader’s leader, and an act that got their point into the limelight; mission accomplished. That, however, should have been the end of the sitting out. Instead, many of the players on the team chose to make their point during the games.

The next several weeks that draw into months for Medved need to involve a process of sifting out the players that showed a lack of effort in games and discussing the issue with each. If the conversation is met with confrontation, he has to be willing to let skilled players go for the sake of the program’s integrity, an aspect severely weakened in recent months. The biggest step for a program is to admit their problems and fix

them in a manner that may take time, but in the end will make the program stronger for having gone through it. Letting go of players that are unwilling to face adversity with their full effort, even if it lowers the team’s overall ceiling, is a measure that needs to be accepted by Ram fans and those around the program, even if next year fails to yield a champion.

TRACK & FIELD

CSU begins outdoor season without home track By Mamadou Balde @mamadoubalde62

The start of spring means the start of a new outdoor track season. The Colorado State Rams kicked off their season last weekend with success; multiple Rams set program records in different events and some athletes earned spots on CSU’s all-time outdoor list. Despite their success, this season will look different than previous seasons for the team due to the fact they will be without their home outdoor track, Jack Christiansen Memorial Track. The track, named after ProFootball Hall of Famer Jack Christiansen, opened in 1989 and has since hosted three conference championships. Christiansen Memorial is currently under a remodel with a budget of $2.4 million, according to a statement from CSU. Since the new track is not yet ready, the Rams will be unable to host any of their own meets this season such as the annual Jack Christiansen Invitational. Instead, CSU has reached an agreement with

the University of Northern Colorado which has allowed the Rams to use their facilities to host the NOCO Challenge. CSU began the remodel on June 12, 2017 with the demolition of the previous track. CSU has not remodeled the track in almost ten years when a press box and seats were added in 2008. “It has been decades since the track’s surface was replaced; it has reached a critical state of disrepair,” Director of Athletics Joe Parker said in a release. “For our track & field students to safely train and compete, we needed to address the deteriorating conditions and a full replacement, including the substrate, was necessary. When completed, we will have one of the finest running surfaces in the country.” The decision to remodel came after the Rams had one of their most successful track and field seasons in program history. The team placed 12th at the 2016-2017 NCAA Indoor Championships. The team even set the program record for most indoor AllAmericans with seven and tied

the program record for most outdoor All-Americans with five. Without their home track this season the Rams have had to find other ways to practice and prepare for competition during this outdoor season. The team has hurdled their largest obstacle thanks to help from the Poudre School District, which has allowed the distance runners to practice at French Field at Rocky Mountain High School in the mornings. “We use the morning hours over there and luckily we’ve made some adjustments with class schedules,” track and field head coach Brian Bedard said. “So most of our team works out there in the morning before the high school’s practice. We got permission for the throwers to use our current outdoor facility but that’s the only events we’ll compete on up there.” Plans for the remodel of the track were made with the idea of improving times for distance runners, sprinters and hurdlers. The entire track will be replaced, including the base of the track, and current

plans have been tailored so that runners will be able to take advantage of wind regardless of which direction they run along the straightaways. The plan also includes an increase to the radius of turns on the track which should, in theory, improve times. To allow for added space, the runways for the long- and triple-jump will be relocated. Runways for the pole vault will be relocated as well. The high jump and javelin arena will also be expanded for added space. The team’s hammer and discus cage will also be relocated and will be accompanied by a pair of shot put throwing areas on either side of the cage. The team hopes that the remodel will help improve the quality of home meets while also enhancing the quality of training and recruiting. “Our staff and athletes are extremely excited about the new facility,” Bedard said. “It will help move our program forward on several levels. We are thankful to everyone involved who helped make this possible.” Christiansen Memorial was originally scheduled to be

finished by the end of October 2017 but was delayed. The new anticipated reopening date for Jack Christiansen track is set for May 1. Until then, the Rams will be without their home track. “We’re just making it work the best we can. We’ve got a veteran staff that’s doing a great job working out the logistics,” Bedard said. “The athletes aren’t complaining, they’re doing a great job with that, staying positive and we had a good first meet outdoors so we feel good about where we’re at.” CSU will continue the outdoor season this weekend with three different meets. Distance runners will compete at the San Francisco State Distance Carnival on Friday before competing at the Stanford Invitational on Friday and Saturday. Other members of the team will compete at the Tom Benich Invitational in Greely, Colorado on Saturday. Mamadou Balde can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

FOOTBALL

Anthony Hawkins more familiar with cornerback position in 2018 By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_

Through the opening weeks of spring football in 2017, Anthony Hawkins was focused on wide receiver. A year later, his focus still rests on the position group, but in an entirely different fashion. Hawkins spent his freshman year as a wide receiver and entered his second season all the same in 2017 spring practices. But two weeks prior to the spring game, Hawkins made the transition to cornerback where he remained for the rest of the season. Now preparing for his junior season, Hawkins finds himself atop the list of Rams’ defensive backs. Starter Kevin Nutt Jr., nickelback Justin Sweet and backup Shun Johnson will all graduate in May, leaving Hawkins as the lone returning cornerback with ample experience. “I kind of knew losing three seniors at corner that the leadership role was going to increase more for me,” Hawkins said. “I sat behind a good corner, Kevin Nutt, who helped me out and who molded me a lot.” This spring is different than any other for Hawkins given his assurance at the position. Coming into his freshman

season, Hawkins only played wide receiver. Last season, he was forced to transition in the middle of spring, preventing him from using a full spring schedule to settle into the position. Despite the changes, Hawkins led the team with three interceptions and ranked fourth with five pass breakups. In other instances, though, Hawkins found himself on the wrong end of explosive plays from opposing offenses. “It was an up-and-down season for Anthony, and we knew it would be,” coach Mike Bobo said. “I believe that experience he had last year was beneficial for him coming into this spring. I love the way (cornerbacks) coach (Eric) Lewis is coaching him right now, back to every little detail, the techniques of playing the position.” With a full year at the position under his belt and no surprises set to derail his spring, Hawkins’ familiarity with the position moving forward is at an all-time high. “I didn’t know how to backpedal until that Boise State game, I was pressing everything,” Hawkins joked. “It’s different now, I’m more comfortable at this position. Last (year) going in, I was going 100 miles per

hour, I was everywhere, I didn’t know what to do. But now I have the time to mold myself, to mold other players.” While Hawkins is developing into a steady presence in the defensive backfield, the same cannot be said for those accompanying him in the secondary. Though they are presumed to start come fall, safeties Jordan Fogal and Jamal Hicks are currently out of service. To complicate matters, cornerback remains one of the most precarious position groups for CSU. Hawkins and sophomore Darius Campbell are the only returning players who played cornerback at CSU last season. Junior Braylin Scott will make the move back to cornerback, where he played his freshman season before switching to safety in 2016. With so much uncertainty surrounding the position, Hawkins’ impact on the secondary becomes that much more important. “I wasn’t much of a vocal leader, that wasn’t my thing, I was more of a lead by example type guy,” Hawkins said. “Now I’m trying to better myself by being more of a vocal leader to pick other people up.” Colin Barnard can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

MUSIC

Lissie plays it safe on new album ‘Castles’ By Henry Netherland @NetherlandHenry

Lissie has never truly broken into the mainstream despite her best efforts. The singer-songwriter has had a sustainable musical career with several songs cracking a million views on YouTube and having her cover of Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness” used as a sample in Schoolboy Q and A$AP Rocky’s “Hands On The Wheel,” but has not had notable success in her genre. Lissie has always been an interesting figure to observe musically. She usually has elements of folk and country in her music, but she also adds in influences of pop music as well. Even if the songwriting is not always on point, her strong, but natural voice always shines through. Her singing has minor flaws within its delivery, but the flaws are so minimal that they

do not affect the enjoyability of her melodies. Rather, they actually give her voice a sense of humanity not seen in too many pop stars. On “Castles,” Lissie essentially drops her country and folk roots in favor of a much more commercial direction. Not to say guitars are completely nonexistent on the album, but they are used with a much poppier sound in mind. Going commercial is not automatically the worst thing in the world for an artist; however, listening to this project feels like listening to an adult contemporary radio station for around 40 minutes, but without the diverse styles. “Castles” is similar to this type of station because they are both incredibly safe and do little to challenge the listener. In the background of “Crazy Girl” lies an interesting groove, but Lissie’s weak falsetto on the chorus makes the song fall

flat on its face. The lyrics about not wanting to leave someone despite what your peers think are so vague and generic that there is nothing compelling enough to keep my attention for the short duration of the track. “Best Days” is an undeniably bouncy and fun single. I love how the lyrics are optimistic, but still question whether or not the best days have already passed. This is also one of the few moments where Lissie is more personal in her lyrics. On here, she talks about her journey through life including dropping out of college and moving to California. The lowkey synths on “Boyfriend” are intoxicating to say the least. This is probably one of the slowest songs on the album, but Lissie’s haunting croon over the instrumental create a unique vibe found nowhere else on the album. After “Boyfriend” is where the record really begins heading

CSU REACTS

How does comedy affect your life? By Nick Botkin @dudesosad

Mark Twain famously said that humanity has one effective weapon — laughter. Twain certainly knew something about the value of humor, but was he right? How does comedy impact Colorado State University students? Does it impact our overall world views or is it simply a forum for laughs? And, how does it shape our CSU community at large? “I kind of like vulgar comedy,” said Cassidy Conroy, a freshman psychology major. “It kind of lets me take things not too seriously.” Conroy said it also “brings a lot of light to the situation.” Conroy is a fan of “Rick and Morty” and Ethan Klein, who produces a YouTube channel, h3h3Productions. “It is very adult humor,” Conroy said of ‘Rick and Morty.’ “They take concepts that are not usually in cartoon shows and make them a joke.” Emma Gennell, a senior music study, also said comedy is uplifting. “I think it brings joy and stress relief to my day,” Gennell, said. “Laughter is a great way to relieve stress.” Gennell also said comedy helps impact her general outlook. “I would say laughter makes me positive and look at things positively,” Gennell said.

Gennell is a fan of Jimmy Fallon. “I like that he is family friendly and has goofy humor,” Gennell said. For Lauren Hunt, a senior English major, comedy offers a “mental break” and a chance to “take my mind off things,” she said. For others, comedy offers an opportunity for personal connection. “I have made a lot of my friends through funny situations,” said Emilee Robison, a sophomore fashion merchandising major.

“Laughter is a great way to relieve stress” EMMA GENNELL SENIOR MUSIC MAJOR

Robison also said she jokes about test results with fellow students in her major. Robison noted that this approach helps brighten dark situations. For Brooke Hernandez, a sophomore sociology major, comedy offers connections via cultural references. “I feel like in conversations with friends, the majority have references to movies and shows,” Hernandez said. Hernandez said she and her friends often quote “Anchorman” and “Dumb and Dumber.”

Emily Fuller, a sophomore health and exercise science major, thinks telling jokes offer a better way of finding common ground with people. “It helps understand someone’s perspective,” Fuller said. With many comedians and comedic forums such as “Saturday Night Live” addressing current political and social matters, how does humor shape our world views? “Comedians have a way of really lightening different issues... to make them more digestible,” Gennell said. Hunt agreed. “I think it helps me think differently about issues,” Hunt said. What impact can comedy have on us all as Rams? “I think comedy would be something that would relieve stress,” Conroy said. “Just laughing and smiling makes you happier even if you are having a bad day.” Some said shared personal connections over humor can positively impact the CSU community. “I think it makes it feel more like a community when you can bond with people,” Hernandez said. Hunt thinks the Ram community needs to stop taking things so seriously and have more fun. Nick Botkin can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

into its blandest territory. “Love Blows” and “Peace” both feature interesting instrumentals. “Love Blows” has more contemporary production while “Peace” has beautiful guitar arpeggios. Unfortunately, Lissie does very little vocally to support these instrumentals. Her melodies are unoriginal and do not do the instrumentals justice. “Sand” is a run of the mill pop rock tune with moderate energy and a formulaic structure. The instrumental does progressively crescendo into a sonically dense climax, but the melody is so uninspired and boring that there is little to celebrate about the track. “World Away,” “Blood & Muscle” and “Meet Me in the Mystery” are all boring and forgettable piano ballads with no replay value. In fact, I’m still surprised “Blood & Muscle” was chosen as one of the lead

singles considering it is one of the least memorable songs in the tracklist. “Meet Me in the Mystery” has an ending that features an instrumental that is very dense and lush, however, the performances are so lifeless that any attempt at sounding exciting seems to have been in vain. Should you listen to it? No I definitely recommend checking Lissie out as an artist. She has a more downto-earth approach to folk and country music that combines contemporary styles pretty well in my opinion. However, “Castles” is an easy pass for casual fans. This record is a blatant example of going commercial in the safest way possible. She takes little risks which is a shame considering how much raw talent is at her disposal.

‘Spectrum’ to showcase array of designs, styles next week By Claire Oliver @claire_oliver21

Fashion week doesn’t have to be limited to the New York elite. Classy fashion can be experienced in Fort Collins. On April 6, the design and merchandising department will put on the fashion show “Spectrum,” showcasing the talent and creativity of design students at Colorado State University. This year’s fashion show will feature a variety of designs and styles walking the runway. Each one has been designed by students in the fashion department. Isabelle Clement, a sophomore apparel and merchandising major, was a part of the fashion show last year. She will be modeling in this year’s show. “The fashion show is an amazing event that happens in Fort Collins and is executed by students,” Clement said. “It provides leadership opportunities and is an introduction into the fashion industry. It’s a class that combines all design department concentrations to collaborate and produce a much anticipated event.” Clement said the name “Spectrum” couldn’t be more fitting. She said each designer has

contributed unique styles and garments that showcase a true spectrum of talent and ability. “Each year, there are new student directors appointed, and with that, I think brings new ideas and creativity,” Clement said. “I love the theme ‘Spectrum’ because after recent incidents that have happened at CSU and around the world, it’s a theme that embraces and encompasses all walks of life.” Jack Savoie is a senior apparel and merchandising major and has a collection in the show. Savoie’s designs were inspired by social influencers and their unique style. “I wanted my collection to keep classic in terms of shape and utilize luxury textiles of wool, silk and leather,” Savoie said. “The collection is meant to be versatile with existing wardrobes.” “The audience can expect a wide variety of rich, unique collections that tailor to each designer’s individual identities and interests,” Clement said. “I’ve seen inspiration being pulled from coastal lifestyle, Parisian architecture, home countries, social media influencers, you name it. There is so much excitement and passion that is being put in by the fashion show team, and I know it’s going to be a night to remember.” Claire Oliver can be reached at enterainment@collegian.com.

Breaking down the ACT human rights festival films By Nate Day @NateMDay

Over the course of nine days, the communication studies department will introduce students to 13 feature-length films and several shorts to bring their attention to human rights issues. We’ve compiled a breakdown of the festival’s events: Student Short Film Selection - April 5; Eddy 212; 6:00 p.m. Each year, ACT chooses about eight short films created by students across the nation to feature in their festival. This year’s films average about five minutes each, according to Carol Busch, the director of marketing and publicity for the festival. This showing is free, as is the pizza that will be served. “The Other Side of Everything” - April 6; LSC Theater; 5:00 p.m. This film details the story of a Serbian family that served as political activists in the 1970s. The film is directed by Mila Turajilic, the daughter of film subject Sbrijanka Turajilic,. Both women will be present for a Q & A after the

showing. “Freedom for the Wolf” - April 6; LSC Theater; 8:00 p.m. This film, shot over three years in five different countries, tells a timely story of individuals around the globe fighting against elected officials that have proved to carry little regard for human rights. Several of the film’s producers will be present for a post-showing discussion. “A Memory in Khaki” - April 7; The Lyric; 12:30 p.m. This particular film tells the stories of the “years of silence, fear and terror” that led to the revolution currently occurring in Syria. The film’s producer will be in attendance and engage in discussion after the showing. “Dead Donkeys Fear no Hyenas” - April 7; The Lyric; 3:45 p.m. One of the film’s subjects will be present to discuss a story of stealing land and evicting those living on it. The land discussed in the film is farmland in Ethiopia, a commodity apparently too hot for the government to keep up with. “Minding the Gap” - April 7; The Lyric; 8:00 p.m.

The department of interdisciplinary liberal arts presents the story of economic recession and oppression through the lens of skateboarders. One of the skaters will be present in addition to a producer of the film. “Mama Colonel” - April 8; Lincoln Center; 1:00 p.m. This film details the story of Honorine Manyole, who will be present, along with the film’s director. Manyole served with the Congolese police force to fight against sexual violence and to protect minors. “Anote’s Ark” - April 8; Lincoln Center; 4:00 p.m. The department of philosophy presents this film: a story of a small island nation known as Kiribati. The nation has only 100,000 citizens but suffers greatly from rising sea levels. “Crime + Punishment” - April 8; Lincoln Center; 7:00 p.m. Injustice within America’s police force has become a widely debated topic in recent years, and this film will continue that discussion. Following the stories of several wrongly-accused

individuals, the film focuses on “whistleblowers”–those who wish to stop the injustice. Two of the film’s subjects will be present. “Nowhere to Hide” - April 10; The Lyric; 6:30 p.m. There is an area in central Iraq called the “triangle of death.” It’s called that because of the severe inaccessibility. This film details the story of Nori Sharif, a nurse in the area that must flee when ISIS makes their presence known. “Chenga de Fiu Fiu” - April 13; The Lyric; 4:30 p.m. The director, subject and director of photography will be present to discuss their film centering on the physical and verbal harassment–specifically catcalling–that Brazilian women must face on a daily basis. “Complicit” - April 13; The Lyric; 7:30 p.m. This picture tells the story of Yi Yeting, a worker that contracted leukemia while assembling smartphones. Yeting brings his case to Silicon Valley to confront the corporations at fault. The film’s director, Heather White, will be present.

“69 Minutes of 86 Days” - April 14; LSC Theater; 3:30 p.m. Another tale of refuge, this film follows a family with a young 3-year-old girl as they make their way to safety in Sweden from Syria. “RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World” - April 14; LSC Theater; 6:30 p.m. Rock music has been studied and dissected over and over again, and it seems that each time, a new influence is discovered and brought to light. One such influence that has been commonly overlooked is that of Native Americans. The story is told by several modern rock musicians, and the film’s producers will be in attendancetoengageindiscussion. The film will be followed by a concert displaying music similar to the music discussed in the film and will feature Cary Morin and Pura Fé. A full schedule and purchasable tickets can be found at actfilmfest.colostate.edu. Nate Day can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

Does pineapple belong on pizza? By Maddie Wright @maddiewright

We as a society frequently return to one question which inspires one of the most polarizing meme debates of all time: Does pineapple belong on pizza? In a 2017 Buzzfeed poll, 62 percent said they favor pineapple on pizza. People say the debate should have been over when celebrity chef and internet meme Gordon Ramsay came out against this pizza topping, but the pineapple fan club is still going strong. Hell, the president of Iceland even wants to ban it. According to Know Your Meme, a database of all internet memes, the pineapple on pizza debate has been going on since 2009 and has gone through multiple resurgences, most frequently the 2017 resurgence all starting with a popular propineapple tweet. In terms of our taste buds, some argue pineapple is not enough to create the ideal combination of flavors. “The thing I think that happens is people use either bacon or ham, which are both sweet, and pineapple is sweet, and they don’t punctuate it with anything that has a sharp flavor,” said Linda Hoffman,

the owner of Come Back to the Table. “So I would add green bell peppers to that.” In a world where you can put anything on pizza from mac and cheese to Peeps, pineapple shouldn’t be that crazy. In recent history, Olympian Chloe Kim suggested “Hawaiian pizza” may be her postOlympic meal.

PIZZA PLACES WITH PINEAPPLE AS A TOPPING ■ Cosmo’s Pizza ■ Krazy Karl’s ■ Old Chicago ■ Ramskellar

A Canadian cook first created Hawaiian pizza in the mid-1960s. Even though it has been around for a while, it is still a controversial issue. Some people love it; some people hate it. There is even some level of professional opinions from nutritionists and folks who work with pizza. “I personally love the combination of sweet and savory, so I am all for pineapple on pizza,” said Mackenzie Burgess, a junior nutrition student who also works for

the Kendall Reagan Nutrition Center. “I always go for a classic Hawaiian pizza. Plus, the pineapple provides an added nutrition bonus with nutrients such as manganese and Vitamin C!” Some also say that pineapple is a food that is obviously present when consumed. It has its own taste and there is no mistaking that it is a pineapple, and from this comes some turmoil. “The thing I feel that makes it significant is you can detect very very easily more so than other things,” said Kendra Barrett, a Beau Jo’s employee. “Like a pickle, you can tell if something’s touched a pickle, you can tell if something’s touched a pineapple. I can taste if a pineapple has been on a pizza. I think that’s what makes people so passionate about it because once something’s had pineapple on it and you don’t like it it’s tainted.” Look, put whatever you want on a pizza. And let your friend put whatever they want on their pizza. Let people eat pizza. And do not let meme culture deter you from real debates and real change we have the power to make.
