ACLU urges reform of campus police By Natalia Sperry & Austin Fleskes @CSUCollegian

drives to close out the first half. CSU accrued only 97 total yards during the opening 30 minutes. “We just have to get consistency out of 11 guys,” senior running back Izzy Matthews said. “Ten guys can do something perfect, but it’s that one guy that’s not and that’s really what puts you in the can ... it’s tough to keep any flow going.” During the Rams’ first half of

The American Civil Liberties Union wrote a letter urging Colorado State University to take further action after two Native American students were removed from a campus tour last spring. In the letter, the ACLU states they are representing Kanewakeron Thomas Gray and Skanahwati Lloyd Gray, following the admissions tour incident, where a nervous parent reported the brothers for “suspicious behavior.” “We are calling on CSU police to amend their policies for dispatcher and officer response and to improve anti-bias training and policing practices that will respect the dignity of individuals,” wrote Sarah Hinger, staff attorney in the ACLU Racial Justice Program, in a news release published by the ACLU.

That’s the bottom line … we have to coach better and all that starts with me as the head coach.”

The Rams drew first blood in the opening quarter when a nine-yard connection between redshirt senior quarterback K.J. Carta-Samuels and senior wide receiver Olabisi Johnson resulted in six points. The touchdown capped a productive 14-play, 80-yard drive. From then on, CSU struggled to produce anything positive until the second half. The Rams went three-andout in each of their final three
