Kappa Kappa Gamma starts scholarship fund in memory of student lost in skiing accident

By Logan Crizer @logloc19

The sisters of Kappa Kappa Gamma held a new philanthropy to honor a sister who passed away last semester and raise money for their new Catie Abeyta Scholarship.

The chapter held a fundraiser in remembrance of Catie Abeyta, a CSU student and sorority member who died in a skiing accident last semester, at their philanthropy event Sept. 15.

The Catie Abeyta Scholarship will go to a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma who is in need of financial assistance in order to stay in their sisterhood and at CSU. The idea for a scholarship in

Catie’s name came from Hannah Persichitte, one of the main organizers of the event. She said she knew Catie not only as a fun and loving sister, but also as a dear friend.

Persichitte said that since Catie loved learning, she thought a scholarship would be the perfect way to remember her.

The fundraiser took place at the Kappa Kappa Gamma house, and more than 200 people attended. The cost to enter was $5 if bought in advance and $7 at the door.

The sisters provided a hot dog bar and make-your-own s’mores table. They also sold stickers in memory of Catie.

The idea for the event was

sparked after the sisters in Kappa Kappa Gamma were told they could no longer do their annual Chili con Kappa philanthropy, Perischitte said. The organizers of the event said the outdoors theme was representative of Catie’s deep appreciation for the outdoors.

The event also had a bone marrow donation station, where attendees could sign up and donate.

Catie’s parents attended the event after approving the idea for the scholarship. Lean Hoye, Catie’s mother, said the family was deeply touched by everything the Kappa Kappa Gamma sisters were doing for their daughter.

“When they approached us,

it was just so early into the semester,” Hoye said. “It’s amazing how they got it all together and that everyone attended the event. We remember her every day, and you never really know if people loved her like we did, but seeing everyone here it is nice to know that she made such an impact on the community.”

The Greek life community and the Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter has changed since the loss, said Emily Hass, a Kappa Kappa Gamma sister said.

“It made everyone closer; now, when you leave, people say ‘love you, be safe,’ and everyone is very open about things that happen,” Hass said.

Catie’s previous roommate

Demi Connelley said that Fort Collins as a community has been affected by the loss.

“The Fort Collins community as a whole came together, and it showed that we had support from everywhere, (our loss) really just brought people together,” Connelley said.

Pi Kappa Phi associate member Scott Lang said that the various Greek life organizations came together for the philanthropy event because of how losing Catie affected Kappa Kappa Gamma. “(The event is) awesome, (it is) for a great cause and it’s awesome to see people come together for a great philanthropy,” Lang said. see SCHOLARSHIP on page 4 >>

Alexa Phillips Editor-in-Chief

Q: What drew you to student media?

A: I was always fascinated by magazines. I was a yerd (yearbook nerd) in high school, and we came to CSU’s J-Day my senior year. One of the panels I attended was for student media with the current EIC of the magazine. Upon finding out about College Avenue, I just knew I wanted to be involved with it. I had no idea that I would end up as the editor!

Q: What are your favorite hobbies?

A: Currently they are reading The New Yorker, fiction writing, binge watching “Grey’s Anatomy” on Netflix and experimenting with various techniques on Photoshop and Illustrator.

Q: What is something unusual about you?

A: I grew up exactly like Toula on “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” which included going to Greek school, dancing at the Denver Greek Festival for 7 years, and eating (and cooking) a lot of Greek food. I also have a killer playlist of Greek music on Spotify, if I do say so myself.

Q: Spirit animal?

A: Does Elle Woods count?

Q: Best joke you know?

A: I don’t really do jokes, but I love quotes. My current favorite is from Steve Martin: “Be so good they can’t ignore you.”

Over the weekend, Fort Collins celebrated the beginning of fall and the end of the outdoor concert season with its own Oktoberfest celebration called FORToberfest.

The celebration began at 11 a.m. in Old Town and featured performances from local bands and beer from local breweries. Around 300 people showed up to enjoy FORToberfest.

Though small in scale, FORToberfest boasted around eight vendors, ranging from sellers of kettle corn, pretzels, brats, and beer to local clothing companies.

Most attendees waited through long lines to indulge in Odell Brewing Company’s seasonal Oktoberfest brew. By 2 p.m., the vendors had already gone through three kegs of Odell’s Oktoberfest brew, showing it to be one of the more popular choices among attendees.

In addition to beer, the event celebrated the last outdoor concert for Fort Collins this season. The show featured local bands, including Matt Mahern’s Constitution, Wasteland Hop and The Burrows.

Most attendees came for the beer and free music, and plenty brought their dogs as well, enjoying the small escape from their daily lives.

Weekly Crime Update: Sept. 19

By Allec Brust @Brustyyy

University of Northern Colorado Students escorted from Hughes Stadium Four spectators were escorted out of Hughes Stadium during the Colorado State University football home game against University of Northern Colorado.

Dell Rae Ciaravola, CSU senior communications coordinator, said three males and one female had placed themselves in a reserved seating section that they did not have tickets for and were reportedly causing distractions for spectators.

The four agitators, believed to be UNC students, were asked by event staff and law enforcement officers to sit and calm down. After failing to comply, police officers escorted them out of the stadium. One of the males was cited with two misdemeanors: unlawful conduct and resisting arrest.

Update: Man accused of striking 11-month old baby appears in court Formal charges have been filed against Juan Canales-Hernandez for his involvement in the death of the 11-month-old girl. His charges include:

Juan Canales-Hernandez’s Charges: First-degree murder (first-degree felony) Child abuse resulting in death (second-degree felony) Attempt to influence a public servant (fourth-degree felony) Habitual child abuser (sentence enhancer) He was due in court last Friday, Sept. 16.

Hernadez was arrested on Sept. 8 for child abuse resulting in serious injury, which is a class three felony. He reportedly struck 11-month-old RaeLynn Martinez with a chair after getting frustrated. Martinez had been injured at an apartment on Blue Spruce Drive in Fort Collins.

Fort Collins Police Services initiated an investigation into the injuries of Martinez who was brought into the Poudre Valley hospital by her mother for treatment. The child was airlifted to Children’s Hospital in Aurora.

The child was pronounced dead at 5 p.m. on Friday, Sept.

9. Canales-Hernandez was held without bond at the Larimer County Detention Office.

According to police, Canales-Hernandez confessed to striking the child, his girlfriend’s daughter, after he became “frustrated.”

Canales-Hernandez, who is not the child’s father, admitted to the crime after his girlfriend lied for him and said the

injuries were accidental.

Update: Charges filed against woman involved in hit-and-run Charges were filed against a woman who was involved in a hit-and-run. On Sept. 6, charges were brought against Stephanie Shafer for the following crimes:

Stephanie Shafer’s crimes: Vehicular assault – DUI, a class 4 felony, two counts; Leaving the scene of an accident involving serious bodily injury, a class 4 felony, two counts; Careless driving resulting in injury, a class 1 traffic misdemeanor; Leaving the scene of an accident involving injury, a class 1 traffic misdemeanor.

On Sept. 9, Shafer turned herself in and was released after she posted her $7,500 bond.

On July 13, Shafer was involved in a hit-and-run involving a group of pedestrians at the intersection of Drake Road and Matthews Street. Pedestrians Angela Fitzsimmons, and Joseph Carter suffered serious injuries and were treated at Medical Center of the Rockies.

A third pedestrian sustained minor injuries.

Shafer originally fled the scene but was contacted a short distance away later that evening.

Q&A with U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn

By Willis Scott @willisscott7

U.S. Senate Candidate Darryl Glenn participated in the first Colorado Senate debate, Saturday, Sept. 10. Glenn did well in the Republican primary against four other candidates, winning the GOP nomination with 37 percent of the vote. He said he prides himself on being a Christian Constitutional Conservative. Glenn talked about his conservative policies and views at a recent Republican event in Elbert County, Colorado.

Collegian: In regards to the Black Lives Matter movement, you’ve said all lives matter.

Would you mind just expanding on that?

Glenn: I think it’s important that we bring all people together to talk about this. We should use that as an opportunity to get together. When it becomes that all lives matter is somehow offensive to one group or another, that just shows you that we really need to have more time talking about that.

Collegian: You’re unapologetically Christian. Would you mind just telling me how that plays into your politics?

Glenn: Well, I tell people I want them to understand my statement of faith. I’m not using that to recruit anybody, but I want to show them that you have a first amendment right to be bold and brave about who and what you are. And I’ve seen this administration feel like they’ve suppressed that vote; feel like they have to hold back instating what they believe in. And I’m trying to remind you that it’s okay to say, to be proud of, who and what

you are.

Collegian: You’ve also said that you’d like to do away with the Department of Education.

Are you at all concerned that in doing that, you would be removing funding from under-funded schools and different special needs programs?

Glenn: You know, they’ve stretched that statement. What needs to happen is that I’m not advocating that we cut any money from education. What I believe is it should be sent back to the states, because state control of those dollars is what’s important. And I believe when we start

>> SCHOLARSHIP from page 1 A sister of Kappa Kappa Gamma, Gabby Alcala, said she was excited by the number of people in attendance. “(I was) stoked that so many people showed up, because not only was it a great philanthropy, but it also represented a deeper meaning for our chapter as a whole,” Alcala said.

At the event, people discussed the upcoming semester and future Greek events, as well as sharing memories of Catie. People in attendance said Catie was known for saying, “Sup dude” to whoever she saw around the house. “(Catie had a) light that (she) always emitted to those around her,” said Caroline Matz, a Kappa Kappa Gamma sister.

Both Catie’s family and close friends said that she would have

loved the event since it really captured who she was as a person and what she loved in her lifetime.

“I think Catie would have loved the event as well as the support the community put forth to commemorate her,” said Dakota Braxton Darfler. “I was enthralled to see the amount of people who showed up within the first hour, (and) I believe it was a huge success. Catie lives on in everyone she touched whether they know it or not.”

Catie’s father said the event was representative of Catie.

“This event would be something that Catie really would love, and even though her [physical] self isn’t here, her presence definitely is, and she is loving it,” Bob Abeyta said.

working the state and the local parents and community, and give them choices and opportunities, they have a better way of using those dollars. When people say I just want to cut education, that’s not correct. I want to bring it back to where it’s more logically managed.

Collegian: You’re pro-life. Are you pro-life in all circumstances; rape and incest?

Glenn: I know that that’s a difficult issue, and what I try to tell people is yes, I’m pro-life. I believe that life begins at conception. I believe women should also have access to birth control.

But you know, we tend to take the bait. Because what it happening, is that we’re being painted as extremists. What people need to understand; Senator Bennett’s policy would allow abortions up to the time of delivery. That’s really where the issue and discussion needs to occur. So when he’s really willing to have that discussion, then we can really talk about those options.

Collegian: As a Senator, would you look into defunding Planned Parenthood?

Glenn: When you look at what’s happening with that, I think that that’s something that

the majority of people should be able to agree that that’s not acceptable. Planned Parenthood should not have a monopoly on women’s healthcare issues. There are more agencies out there that can do that. But what needs to happen – is their funding should be removed pending an investigation. Because there’s enough information out there that’s alarming to me.

CSU Professor to be inducted into Colorado Space Heroes Hall of Fame

By Nataleah Small @nataleahjoy

Professor and former astronaut Ron Sega is nominated for induction into the Colorado Space Heroes Hall of Fame for his work as a NASA astronaut, Director of Defense Research and Engineering, leadership in the U.S. Air Force Reserves and Systems Engineering program director at CSU. This is the first year the Space Foundation, headquartered in Colorado Springs, has inaugurated individuals into the hall of fame.

A black-tie induction ceremony will take place on the evening of Oct. 7 at Mile High Stadium. Governor Hickenlooper will welcome Sega and three other nominees with trophies for their accomplishments.

In a press release, Hickenlooper said he is proud of the the accomplishments of all the nominees.

“Colorado is a powerhouse state in aerospace thanks to the many business, government, military and research leaders who have advanced our space capability and inspired our youth for space endeavors,” Hickenlooper wrote.

Elliot Pulham, CEO of the Space Foundation, said that he was “very proud of Dr. Sega and his accomplishments.” Pulham also said that Sega received multiple nominations throughout the summer and the top ranking during the selection process. Sega was a top contentor throughout the nomination process.

Likewise, Sega has received praise from his colleague, Dr. Jim Adams in Systems Engineering, on his dedication to the sciences and the country.

“Dr. Sega is passionate about delivering capabilities that support the … nation as a whole,” Adams wrote in an email.

Although Sega has several accomplishments in his lengthy

SEGA’S SPACE FLIGHT EXPERIENCE:

career, he said that this was never something he thought he would be able to do.

“I grew up in a small town in Ohio,” Sega said. “I was there during the era when we were doing the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. [My] very first flight was from Cleveland, Ohio, to Denver, Colorado, to come to the Airforce Academy. I had never been on an airplane before.”

After working as a pilot for the Air Force, Sega applied to NASA in 1989 and was accepted into the class of 1990. While at NASA, Sega flew two space flights. His first flight was in Space Shuttle Discovery in 1994.

During this flight, he flew the Wake Shield Facility satellite into space—a project he had worked on prior to joining NASA. “It was ready to fly when I was ready to fly, and we flew together,” Sega said.

His second flight was on Space Shuttle Atlantis in 1996.

During that mission the shuttle

docked with the Russian space station, Mir. The shuttle delivered two tons of equipment to Mir, and transferred half a ton back to Earth.

After his work at NASA, Sega served in the Pentagon as the Director of Defense Research and Engineering from 2001-2005. In 2001, Sega was in the Pentagon on Sept. 11 when the building was hit by one of the hijacked airplanes during the terrorist attack.

“The airplane hit the building a third of the way around and we felt the jolt, but had no idea what had caused it,” Sega said. “Things were very different after that.”

From 2005-2007 Sega served as Under Secretary of the Air Force, the second highest ranking civilian official in the Department of the Air Force.

In 2007, Sega came to Colorado State University to present a talk on biofuels. Shortly after his talk, University representatives informed Sega that they were considering establishing a

Systems Engineering program and asked if he would like to get involved. Sega accepted and has been a professor and department head for the past nine years.

Sega said he is passionate about his work on systems engineering at CSU. “The idea of practical innovation is at the heart of land grant [institutions],” Sega said.

The application of systems engineering to complex systems “makes a variety of endeavors we have in Colorado…more competitive,” Sega said.

Sega has enjoyed an accomplished career in the sciences, yet acknowledges that although he has learned a lot, there will always be new things to discover.

“Sometimes you explore things and you do research on things, and the surprises may be the most important part of your work,” Saga said.

Letter: We aren’t descended from fearful men

By Nicholas Montalbano CSU Senior

Fear.

Few words in the English dictionary can evoke such an emotional response like the word fear. It is, after all, one of the primary motivators in humans. We are naturally inclined to defend ourselves, to impose limitations upon our bodies and minds, and to avoid risks. These responses are unavoidable in humans, which is why I believe we place such reverence on those who are fearless. Individuals who can push aside their innate feelings and go on to inspire, lead, and create change are those who characterize fearlessness.

What is natural in humans is natural in society. After all, society is simply any number of individuals grouping together for their shared interests. Especially so in a democracy like ours, where society’s collective opinions and decisions are expressed through voting. However, just as we can campaign and vote on progress, change, tradition, and freedom, we can also campaign

and vote out of fear.

As Americans, we love freedom. I believe it forms an integral part of our cultural character, whether we know it or not. Our nation was built on conquering our fears and exploring new frontiers.

It is time to overcome this trend. As a society, our concerns manifest themselves and fester into dangerous ideas and policies that reinforce those same fears.

Looking at this election and some of the rhetoric brought forth by both sides, it is easy to see the

culmination of fear and how it turns into misguided policy.

As Americans, we love freedom. I believe it forms an integral part of our cultural character, whether we know it or not. Our nation was built on conquering our fears and exploring new frontiers. When our forefathers acted in rebellion, they knew that they faced certain death should they lose. When young men stormed the beaches of Normandy to fight tyranny, they knew they could very well never come back. When men and women of every color and creed marched on Washington in the 1960’s to demand their civil rights, they knew they could be beaten, imprisoned, or killed.

When we launched a man to the moon in the harsh vacuum of space, we didn’t do it because it was easy. Instead, as President Kennedy put it, we did it because it was hard, and it served to challenge us.

While the list of American virtues is too long to put into words, these instances showed that Americans, no matter their background, ultimately want freedom for themselves and

their fellow man. Americans want to achieve great things and push society towards progress.

It is our natural state, but it only came from overcoming our fears.

When we tune into the news, it is easy to become engrossed by the injustice that pervades our world. It can at times seem that good news comes few and far between the bad news. Fear is only further exacerbated by a panel of talking heads offering unfounded speculation and ratcheting public fears in the name of ratings. Politicians and public officials drum up rhetoric about our decline as a nation, a degradation of our standing in the world, and a diminished scope of opportunity for working Americans. When the world experiences another tragedy or is confronted with a man-made or natural crisis, it is a measure of that society in how it deals with that problem.

It is natural to feel sympathy, to question, to become angry, and to become afraid in the face of everything we are up against. Conversely, it also

easy to capitalize and exploit those feelings for personal gain through the politics of fear and personification of demagoguery.

When we go to the polls this November, as a nation, we must weigh the heavy decision that is being presented. We must reject the politics of despair and degradation and push for progress. The uncommon character of our forefathers is what made them understand, yet still set aside, their fears in the process of creating a nation while staring down the barrel of a gun.

Through overcoming our fears and confronting them, we as individuals become stronger. In conquering those fears we also become liberated. Regardless of that fear’s rationality or irrationality, it hangs over our head as a dark cloud obstructing our view and blocking our path.

To be without fear is to be free. Ultimately, we must look to history and remember that we, as Americans, are not descended from fearful men.

Collin Hill shines as CSU routs UNC 47-21

By Chad Deutschman @ChadDeutschman

Colorado State has a quarterback, and his name is Collin Hill.

On Ag Day, CSU (2-1) started a true freshman at quarterback for the first time since 2010. The Rams, or Aggies for this game, went on to rout the University of Northern Colorado (2-1) 47-21, giving CSU their second consecutive win.

The highly anticipated debut of Collin Hill did not disappoint, as the freshman from Moore, S.C. came out slinging.

After seeing the Rams first drive of the day stall after one first down, Ray Guy Award candidate Hayden Hunt pinned the Bears on their own 1-yard line.

The poor field position didn’t hurt the Bears however, as they marched down the field relatively easily and found themselves threating to put the game’s first points on the board — on a side note, the scoreboard read “Aggies” for CSU and “Teachers” for UNC. CSU sophomore Braylin Scott put an end to the drive, intercepting UNC quarterback

Kyle Sloter for his second interception of season. Scott also had an interception against UTSA in week two.

“They were driving, they had some momentum. To get that interception and get that stop was big,” head coach Mike Bobo said. “You’re going to give up some plays sometimes defensively, but you’ve got to continue to play, play assignment football. (Scott) was able to do that, he was in the right place and he played the quarterback’s eyes and made the interception.”

Once the CSU offense got back onto the field, it became the Collin Hill show, as the CSU offense scored points on six straight possessions.

Hill led the Rams down the field on an eight play, 61yard drive, capping it off with the first touchdown pass of his young career via a 2-yard fade to Elroy Masters, giving the Aggies a 7-0 lead.

The very next drive, Hill showed that his arm is not the only way he can move the ball. Hill made a UNC defender miss in the backfield, and pursued to scamper 51 yards

down the field for a touchdown, putting CSU up 14-0.

The run is the longest by a CSU quarterback since Bradlee Van Pelt went for 79 yards in 2002 against Fresno State.

“You’re going to give up some plays sometimes defensively, but you’ve got to continue to play, play assignment football.”

MIKE BOBO CSU FOOTBALL COACH

“We caught them in man-coverage and everybody was chasing the back,” Bobo said. “I don’t think he has great speed. He said that he was out

of breath, said that was the farthest he’s ever run; and he is in this Colorado climate, his lips were completely white. I said ‘you need to go get some chap stick and some water.”

Hill went on to finish the first half 16 of 22 passing for 266 yards and four touchdowns. All four touchdowns were thrown to different receivers — Elroy Masters, Olabisi Johnson, Michael Gallup and Robert Ruiz being the recipients, all catching their first touchdown of the season.

Hill’s 266 yards in the first half against UNC were more than CSU had combined in their first two games (171) against the University of Colorado and UTSA. Redshirt sophomore kicker Wyatt Bryan hit a 53-yard field goal to end the half with CSU up 38-0. Bryan’s kick set a new career long one week after he

set a previous high of 46 yards.

The Aggies defense carried their momentum over from week 2, as they held a UNC offense averaging 56 points per game scoreless in the first half, extending a streak of holding opponents scoreless to 16 straight drives.

That streak, however, was broken in the second half as the CSU defense gave up 21 points to UNC and quarterback Kyle Sloter.

“The second half was disappointing,” Bobo said. “Came out and went through the motions and that is not what we do. We went through the motions and allowed them to score 21 points…the second half was disappointing. Still yet to play a complete game.”

While the team may have come out flatter than coach Bobo would have liked, the see COLLIN on page 10 >>

CSU defense hot and cold in win over UNC

By Colton Strickler @coltonstricker

After a tough showing against the University of Colorado to open the season, the Colorado State defense has shown improvement in the two games that followed.

On the final Ag Day at Hughes Stadium, the Colorado State (2-1) defense was faced with the task of shutting down a Northern Colorado offense that averaged 574 yards and 55.5 points heading into Saturday’s matchup.

Riding the momentum of a second half shutout of the University of Texas-San Antonio from the week before, the Rams defense started Saturday’s game against the Bears hot.

“The defense was clicking on all cylinders,” Colorado State head coach Mike Bobo said following the team’s 47-21 win over UNC. “Kept giving the offense opportunity after opportunity and the offense made the most of every opportunity.”

Colorado State’s defense looked as if they were going to give up a touchdown on the opening drive for the third straight week.

Despite the fact that the Bears began their drive on the one yard line thanks to Colorado State’s All-American punter Hayden Hunt, the Bears didn’t have much trouble moving themselves into scoring range.

With the Bears knocking on the door, Colorado State safety Braylin Scott picked off Northern Colorado quarterback Kyle

>> COLLIN from page 9 end result was what the team wanted, and several players had a chance to see the field and make an impression.

UNC may have out fighting in the second half, but this day belonged to Collin Hill.

different story. Northern Colorado’s offense came out of halftime looking like the high-powered offense they were hyped up to be.

“When we came out in the second half it was a little bit disappointing,” Colorado State linebacker Kevin Davis said.

“But we picked it up towards the end there again.”

After not allowing a point on 13 consecutive drives, Col-

orado State’s defense allowed touchdowns on UNC’s first two drives of the second half.

“That’s not Colorado State football and at halftime I challenged them” Bobo said. “We’ve got 30 more minutes. I expect us to play hard. I expect us to play like we did in the first half.”

The Bears were threatening to score for their third time in as many tries in the fourth quarter, but were halted when Jamie Falloon’s field goal attempt rattled off the right upright.

Redshirt junior Xavier Williams came back from a two game suspension for violating team rules to haul in four catches for 91 yards, 50 of which came on the first ball thrown his way.

“It was good to get Xavier back,” Bobo said. “Xavier Williams is a talent, and if he can do the right things to be part of this program, he can be a difference maker for us.”

UNC may have out fighting in the second half, but this day belonged to Collin Hill.

Hill finished the game 21 of 27 passing for 315 yards and four touchdowns, while leading the Aggies to a 47-21 victory.

UNC added seven more points in the final minutes of the game on Trae Rieck’s nineyard touchdown run.

Despite giving up 21 points in the second half, the Aggies have something to build off of heading into next week’s matchup against Minnesota.

“We just gotta finish the game,” Colorado State safety Braylin Scott said. “We came out strong we just gotta come through the second half and finish the game.”

The Aggies next matchup will not be an easy one. They will meet a 2-0 Golden Gopher team that possesses the ability to score coming off a bye week.

Bobo knows that his team can’t afford to play like they did in the second half next week.

“That’s unacceptable to go through the motions in the second half like we did,” Bobo said.

Slow starts, unforced errors plague Rams in loss to CU

By Michael Roley @michael_roley

BOULDER-- The old saying about how the finish is more important than the start is true.

But it certainly helps to start well.

After sweeping Chicago State Saturday morning, the CSU volleyball team dug themselves into holes in both of the first two sets Saturday night in their 3-1 loss (22-25, 20-25, 2523, 21-25) to in-state rival No. 18 Colorado in Boulder.

The Rams fell behind in both of the first two sets. In both sets CSU was able to climb their way back into it and make it competitive, but the deficit was just too much as CSU’s seven-game winning streak against the Buffs was snapped in front of 2,446 fans at the Coors Event Center.

“We dug those two six, seven point runs away in both those sets,” head coach Tom Hilbert said. “And we still come back and you take away those and we’re better than them in some cases.”

The Rams were led offensively by Kirstie Hillyer who had 12 kills and had seven block assists to go along with two solo blocks. Alexandra Poletto had 11 kills and Sanja Cizmic added 11 as well. Katie Oleksak dished out 41 assists.

Throughout Mountain West conference play and against lesser teams, the Rams can get away with a sluggish set or several unforced errors, but not against a team of the caliber of CU. “When we’re playing a team in the Mountain West we know we can throw a free ball or a jump ball and still have a good result,” Hilbert said. “But you can’t do that against CU, if you throw a free ball or a jump ball it’s coming back in your face.

And we just kept doing it and kept doing it and that has to change if we want to be good against good people.”

After the Buffs jumped out to a 7-2 lead in the first, CSU came back behind superb blocking. The Rams tallied five total blocks in the set, led by Kirstie Hillyer who was in on four of them. The Rams would push it to as close as 22-21 before the Buffs ran off three of the final points to take the set 25-22.

The second set was all CU. The Buffs jumped out to a 13-3 lead and never relinquished it.

CSU made it interesting thanks to four kills from Cizmic but were never able to close the gap.

Finally in the third set, the Rams found their stride a bit earlier, taking a 7-5 lead in the early going. Then with CSU leading 23-22, Cizmic buried

two consecutive kills to solidify a third set victory for CSU force a fourth set.

CU kept the Rams at arm’s distance throughout the fourth set to seal the win.

When CSU lost to No. 2 Texas on Sept. 9 there was a silver lining in the fact that they had just competed with one of the nation’s elite programs and a possible national championship contender. And against CU, the Rams had their share of opportunities to alter the outcome.

But eventually there’s a point for any team where they know they can compete and being close just isn’t enough. CSU is at that point where beating good teams should be the goal.

“That’s good and all, like ‘We almost won. That’s great, we played well’ “senior libero Cassidy Denny said. “It’s still a loss and we could’ve done things better and we could’ve beat them. It’s not like they were completely out of our range and we just killed ourselves. We did kill ourselves but we still could have won. It’s still frustrating but you just take it as a learning experience.”

CSU will open Mountain West play Sept. 22 against Fresno State at home at 7 pm MT. Collegian Sports Reporter Michael Roley can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

CSU soccer ends non-conference play with 1-1 tie against Nebraska-Omaha

By Collin Barnard @ColinBarnard_

Despite a first half goal from Taylor Nelson, the CSU Rams women’s soccer team could not finish off the University of Nebraska-Omaha on Sunday as the match ended in a 1-1 tie.

The stats favored the Rams (2-5-1) throughout the day, outshooting the Mavericks (2-5-2) by a total of 15-10, including a seven shot advantage in regulation.

UNO was unable to capitalize on five overtime shots, thanks in large part to goalkeeper Paige Brandt, who earned her first start of the season and played all 110 minutes of the match.

“Paige played great,” coach Bill Hempen said. “She made all the saves that she was supposed to make and stole probably one which keeps us in the game, keeps it 1-0.”

The Rams gained the lead in the 26th minute of the first half.

Just minutes after checking

into the game, Rams forward Hannah Gerdin made her presence felt. Coming up the left sideline, Gerdin gathered and passed the ball through the box to an attacking Taylor Nelson who finished the play to give the Rams an early advantage.

“Our goal was to keep them in their half as much as possible and put as much pressure on them as we could,” Nelson said. “The opportunity presented itself when finally, we broke through that back line and I just happened to be there.”

That pressure was felt often by the Mavericks defense in the first half as CSU outshot their opponent 7-1 through 45 minutes.

Momentum began to change midway through the second half when UNO mounted back-toback attacks against the Rams.

Then, with just under 20 minutes to play in regulation, Brandt maintained the Rams’ lead with a huge save in the box.

Edward Snowden’s influence on Hollywood comes full circle

By Morgan Smith @MDSFilms

If I were in a different cultural moment or not endowed with the American mindset and knowledge of Edward Snowden’s release of classified NSA data in 2013, I would look at Oliver Stone’s “Snowden” as a slightly sub-par spy thriller and move on.

However, considering where and when I am, this film brings up some timely issues in the state of cinema today, especially in the year 2016, the year of capitalization on familiar brands.

“Pokemon GO” was the most popular game release of this year, our major presidential candidates sport last names everyone has known since the 90s and nearly every studio release this summer has been a sequel or a remake. “The Magnificent Seven” was a remake of a remake.

In addition to the recycling of brand names to grab our attention, we have also been more subtly exposed to the recycling of political narratives. Specifically, the one of mass surveillance being used by the bad guys against

us, the good guys. “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “Spectre,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Captain America: Civil War” and “Jason Bourne” all base their plots around the institution or abuse of powerful surveillance systems to be used against James Bond, Jason Bourne, Marvel’s superheroes and you and me. Is this an implicit seal of approval of Snowden’s actions by Hollywood or an attempt to cling on to the digital surveillance fad?

Either way, our popular stories in action entertainment have been substantially influenced by a tech geek in Moscow. Whether or not this popularization of the troubles of government surveillance will have a positive impact on viewers and the situation itself is impossible to tell. The only thing that is certain is that commercial demonization of surveillance is on the rise. Antagonization of government workers, especially in intelligence organizations, has been going on in film since the Cold War. The only thing that has changed is the tools our villains receive. And,

they are resembling the NSA more and more.

“The Dark Knight” touched on mass surveillance in an intelligent and dramatically interesting way in 2010 with sonar before Snowden was on the radar, but the movies mentioned above almost scream Snowden and NSA, and “Jason Bourne” even mentions Snowden’s name (probably a last minute attempt to be relevant) when a C.I.A. employee tells Tommy Lee Jones that a fictional former C.I.A. member’s data leak is “worse than Snowden.”

This brings us back to Oliver Stone’s “Snowden.” If I came out of it with anything, it was how apparent it now is to me that the modern action thriller, especially the spy thriller, is a snake that is now eating itself. Originality is just nowhere to be found, and I could devote a separate review to the formal aspects of the film that bothered me. However, after some research I discovered one interesting fact about the film. It was made independently.

It was filmed in Germany

with German and French funding. No American studio wanted their name on this. Now, spoilers to Oliver Stone fans; “Snowden” is nowhere near as pro-Snowden as “Platoon” was anti-Vietnam. Stone’s once incendiary filmmaking has simmered in this production. He even has characters give reasonable arguments to multiple sides of the story, which, if you know Stone, is just unheard of. The question is, why wouldn’t Hollywood latch on to this film? They are crystal clear on their opinions of mass surveillance when it affects our recycled brand heroes like Captain America and James Bond.

There are a few possible reasons. One, they might not have had interest in the project. I certainly was not too excited about another Stone film, especially a biography made about a man who has only been famous for 3 years, and especially a biography about the making of a documentary (“Citizenfour” which is vastly superior to “Snowden” in every way and

is on Netflix), which only came out about a year ago. But, if lack of interest is the case, then explain how “Warcraft” or “Gods of Egypt” happened.

The other big one that looms in my mind is that the NSA and its former contractor is still too incendiary of a topic for Hollywood to want to put their hands on. After all, Clinton and Trump have both spoken out against Snowden and labeled him a traitor. It just might mean that our mainstream source of film in this country is self-censoring in order to avoid offending any moviegoers. They will sneak in fashionable but tame surveillance opinions under franchise brands but not put them in the spotlight where they arguably belong, and we perpetuate this (myself included) with our box-office dollars. We are creating a cycle in which we pay for the safe and familiar in our arts and entertainment, and complain about lack of originality.

Where to get the best pumpkin spice latte in Fort Collins

By Taylor Felver @CSUCollegian

It is officially fall when local and national coffee shops bring in the resources to craft a perfect pumpkin spice latte.

From national coffee chains to more residential coffee shops, one ingredient is able to bring in the fall season and allow people to enjoy a festive favorite in Fort Collins. Here are the five best pumpkin lattes in town: 5. Mugs 261 S College Ave Across the street from CSU’s campus lies a local gem that has served many people since it first opened in 2002. And, just like other coffee shops, Mugs is joining the trend of the pumpkin spice latte. This one, however, was full of mainly foam and had very light, if any pumpkin taste, making it fifth on the list.

4. Alley Cat Café 120 W Laurel St. Another Fort Collins favorite, The Alley Cat comes in fourth

for the most admirable attempt at the perfect pumpkin spice latte. The coffee itself had a bitter consistency, and unlike Mugs, had more of a subtle mixed pumpkin flavor. While the coffee may have been overwhelming, it was equal to the pumpkin taste mixed in, creating a noticeably smooth flavor.

3. The Crooked Cup 147 W Oak St. The Crooked Cup’s pumpkin spice latte was surprisingly good with more of an obvious flourish of the seasonal flavor. However, it almost had too much of an overwhelming pumpkin taste.

While The Crooked Cup may be nestled in Old Town and not at the center of attention for the well-known craze, their pumpkin spice latte is still something to brag about.

2. Starbucks Any five-block radius of campus The world-famous pumpkin spice latte found its popular beginnings here, and un-

derstandably so, with the most dynamic and silky sweet cinnamon pumpkin flavor incorporated all in one drink.

This seasonal favorite produced by the mass coffee chain has become one of the original indications that fall has begun, and Starbucks proves why with their classic latte taste.

1. The Human Bean 821 N. College Ave After trying enough pumpkin spice lattes to run around campus at least fifty times, The Human Bean crushes the competition with the most famously festive flavored favorite of the year. What is particularly unique about theirs is the amount of other mixed-in flavors that combine with the pumpkin. For example, their Leftover Latte includes white chocolate and pumpkin, which results in a twist that pays off.

“American Horror Story: Roanoke” promises fans a suspenseful season based in non-fiction

By Darby Osborne @CSUCollegian

Fans, new and old, waited with bated breath as the season premiere of the coveted “American Horror Story” reared its cloaked head to audiences around the world. The award-winning series known for pushing the envelope generated even more buzz earlier this year when co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk kept the theme for season six a very well-hidden secret. September 14 finally arrived for impatient fans and left them gasping for air as the iconic theme song wrapped around their brains.

The theme for this season was revealed to be “My Roanoke Nightmare.” The theme called for connections to an actual location in the United States.

Alarm bells are currently going off due to the location being the Roanoke Colony established in North Carolina in the

late 16th century. Some awfully creepy things happened in dear, dear Roanoke. Three years after the last supplies from England arrived, the colonists in all of Roanoke disappeared with no evidence to suggest why, making it the perfect backdrop for Murphy’s and Falchuk’s dark, twisted fantasy to thrive in.

This season marks a turning point for storytelling in the now 10-episode-long series. Giving audiences major vibes of TLC’s “A Haunting,” the series offers interviews and reenactments of a couple’s experience in their new home in the heart of Roanoke’s countryside, while telling audiences the series is based on a true story. Whether or not it is truthful or for effect, it still sent shivers up our spines. What a charming life to start living, right? Not exactly.

The season premiere includes veteran actors of the show like Lily Rabe, Sarah Paulson

and Angela Bassest, but it also introduces the new additions Cuba Gooding Jr. and Andre Holland.

The premiere starts off relatively slow in the first 30 minutes, with Murphy and Falchuk setting up important, yet sluggish, exposition. It can be said that the first episode knocks reenactment shows out of the water indefinitely.

In addition, the narration cuts off prime scenes of interaction between characters where past seasons have displayed them with ease. Only after the 30 minute mark does the show get into a familiar mode of horror, with gut-wretching sounds of pigs and screams, hailing teeth and disappearing violent mobs.

The action helps the plot to move forward. Paulson’s character is the only one taking things seriously, so Paulson leaves the home in a fit of rage

and gets into a very quick and harmless car accident. It soon becomes clear that the couple are not leaving their stunning, vicious home.

Paulson also gets the first jump scare of the series. And guess who it is? It is Kathy Bates as a very, very colonial woman who is just fine after getting hit by a truck. After Paulson gets lost in the woods, more and more of our favorite actors are introduced with a colonial version Wes Bentley and a super-crazy Denis O’Hare with half of his head chopped off. The gangs all here, mostly.

Even Peters and Lady Gaga were nowhere to be seen in the first episode, but have no fear; fellow Roanoke citizens will be making their grand entrance soon enough.

All in all, this season of “American Horror Story” started off bland, but ended with a true horror cliffhang-

er in suspenseful fashion. It undoubtedly made audiences hungry for the next chapter, while leaving them with questions aching to be answered.

While this season might stray away from the familiar formula people have come to expect from the series, the reinvention is clever and needed to track in new fans and give older ones more interest.

Murphy and Falchuk did not disappoint. The series is already leading to various plot lines, complex characters and the knowledge that not everything is fiction, which should make everyone flinch a little bit more.

“American Horror Story: Roanoke” will release a new episode every Wednesday on FX starting at 10 p.m. Stay scared, my friends.

Seriously: After being asked a question that the syllabus answers, professor turns into a Mega Charizard and sets classroom on fire

By Tatiana Parafiniuk-Talesnick @TatianaSophiaPT

Seriously is intended for a mature, sophisticated, and discerning audience.

On Tuesday, students were

shocked to the see their Calculus professor morph into a Pokémon character and proceed to set the classroom on fire.

“It all started when Ryan Highler asked a question,” said eye-witness and sophomore biomedical science major Alyesha Evens. “It was just a question.”

According to other Calculus students, the question was unique in that the course syllabus clearly answered it. Said syllabus was distributed on the first day of class, coupled with the instructions to read it thoroughly.

Highler apparently did not follow those instructions.

Highler asked his question and the classroom went silent.

After a brief moment of stillness, the professor began to morph in an orange dragon that had flames coming out of its tail.

“Oh, I’m confident he turned into a Mega Charizard. It wasn’t just any dragon,” said Calculus student and senior health and exercise science major Joey Montez. “I can recognize that evolution easily.”

Montez said the way his professor shot “a continuous beam of purple flames” all over the classroom was one of the many tell-tale signs he had evolved into Mega Charizard Y. The classroom is said to be ready for use by next week, as desks were only slightly singed.

The professor was unable to be reached for comments after he flew through a burning hole in the roof. We are still attempting to collect badges to make him obey us.

NightLife: Non-alcoholic alternatives

By Anna Hoover @Hoovanna_Disny

During your college career, it is almost a rite of passage to go to bars and taste the flavor of adulthood: alcohol. However, whether you can drink alcohol or not, deciding what to order is always somewhat daunting, as the list of options seems limitless. If you go into a tavern, you will get handed a menu several pages long on what to drink, listing their subtle quirks and perfect pairings.

As someone who is, personally, not a huge fan of the traditional alcoholic drinks, and as someone who remembers the awkwardness of feeling left out of gatherings because they legally couldn’t drink yet, I would like to share some of my wisdom and favorites.

Let’s start with the basics for ordering “virgin”, the drinks that have all the innocence with none of the alcohol. First of all, if you just go up to a bartender and ask, “What virgin drinks do you recommend?”, they will give you a blank stare. I know from experience, and it’s awkward -- just trust me. The vast majority of people who go to bars get alcoholic drinks; that’s a no-brainer.

Some bartenders won’t even fully process what you mean by “virgin” and will stare at you

confused until you say non-alcoholic. So, when someone asks for their recommendation of “virgin” drinks, they sometimes freeze and just give you a list of soda pops, juice, or water. Here’s my point: if you plan on drinking with friends and order “virgin,”

know what you want ahead of time to avoid getting stuck with the kiddy drinks.

Here are some of the classics that are the easiest to get because they are either easy to make or most bartenders know how to make them.

1) Shirley Temple America’s sweetheart, the girl who stole audiences’ hearts from early films, has a sweet drink named after her -- I’m serious, it’s very sweet and sugary. It’s basically soda water and cherry syrup, which might not sound fancy but it’s delicious and doesn’t look like you just ordered a coke. Plus, I’ve found that they generally give you free refills on them since it’s just flavored soda water. For those that don’t want to tell the bartender they want a Shirley Temple, ask for a Roy Rogers, a nearly identical virgin drink also named after a famous actor.

2) St. Clements Although the ingredients might vary, its flavors do not -you will always get some mixture of orange juice and a lemon flavored drink. This is a great choice for those that aren’t looking for a sweet treat but for something that tastes refreshing. This also is a great cleanser between drinks to help pace those with more enthusiasm (and thicker wallets).

3) Non-Alcoholic Beer There are a wide variety of non-alcoholic beers, with some being available at almost every bar. Although most non-alcoholic beers taste... well, they don’t really have a defined taste, and

let’s face it, they generally aren’t very good. BUT, I have found that there are some exceptions.

Ginger beer, although not your typical beer, is pretty tasty. For those who have never tried it, it’s basically a fancy ginger ale -- just much stronger in flavor. They have a very low alcohol content because they are still fermented, but it meets FDA regulations to classify as non-alcoholic. Bonus: They are sometimes available at the grocery store, and I have also seen several different brands at the Rocket Fizz candy store on College Avenue (which is also great for candy and soda, for the kids at heart).

4) I Love Pina Coladas And getting caught in the rain! This little number is one of my favorites at restaurants.

They are not as common in bars, but are easy to find at taverns and restaurants, for when your whole squad is getting drinks.

This tropical drink basically tastes like a pineapple coconut smoothie and goes well with a lot of different kinds of food, from steak dinners to chips and dip.

This is a fun one to share or enjoy on your own as you go out on a girls night out. It is so yummy, don’t ever let anyone tell you that you shouldn’t drink it because see THIRST on page 21 >>

Backyard Travel: Day trip to Estes Park

By Katelyn Mitchell

Estes Park is one heck of a town, and you now have the best day guide for making your way around the amazing views, haunted properties and even odd, hole in the wall places.

Estes Park was has been a traveler’s destination since the early 1900’s. With the views that exist in the valley, it comes to no surprise that people, even back then, wanted a piece.

The entire town became famous worldwide, or at least a certain hotel in town did, when it was used to film a horror movie called “The Shining.” That’s right, the phenomenal horror movie with Jack Nicholson, who gets possessed and tried to kill his family, was mostly filmed on site at The Stanley Hotel. The property, overlooking the valley, is absolutely beautiful, and the building only improves the view.

Besides a horror movie being filmed there, the hotel is actually believed to be haunted. With a long list of different tours to go on, you can see if you feel the spirits presence. For a price, you can even stay the night in one of the alleged haunted rooms.

Besides being scared for fun, you can enjoy a delicious meal at the hotel’s Cascade Restaurant. Be sure to stop by the gift shop as well to get your “Shin-

ing” memorabilia and souvenirs from the hotel.

Everybody’s got to eat. and there is one place in Estes Park that I highly recommend. Rock Inn Mountain Tavern is probably the best place in Estes Park for a decent price. The menu fits even the pickiest of eaters with everything from hamburgers to steak to fish. The food is even better paired with wine or beer and the live music that plays every night.

Of course, if you go to Estes Park, you have to walk the main street of Downtown. As it is a tourist town, there is a huge selection of Colorado and Estes Park gear for some pretty low prices. Downtown is also a place where the artists gather to sell their works, featuring of glass work, pottery, and even yard art.

There’s plenty of ice cream and little restaurants to eat at while you’re shopping too.

There is one thing that you must do every time you visit Estes Park, and that is to get yourself some saltwater taffy.

There are two stores that make mouth-watering candy right in their front shop window. The Taffy Shop and The Estes Park Taffy Company are both worth visiting, with each offering a huge amount of flavors to choose from. Plus, if you bring taffy home for your friends, you’ll get two thumbs up. Delicious is the

only word to describe the little pieces of heaven.

Finally, there is a rite of passage for any go-seers in Estes Park. Estes Park Aerial Tramway is a tramway car that takes you up a short, ten-minute ride to the top of Prospect Mountain. Besides all the photo-ops, the top of the mountain is covered in cute chipmunks that go crazy over peanuts. Not by chance, peanuts are sold by the bag in the gift shop.

The cute little critters will come up and take the nuts right out of your hand. This not only fun for the kids, but even as grown adults, there is something about giving a peanut to a tiny animal that brings immense joy. Fair warning, the tramway is not open on windy days due to safety regulations, so make sure you check the weather before you go up!

Estes Park is a wonderful little town and has managed to only improve the older it gets.

So, if you have never been before, take a day trip up next weekend.

It’s only an hour drive from Fort Collins, and it’s a drive that never gets boring, since the entire trip is filled with nothing but incredible Colorado views. For those of you who have been, go again. Find new places to adventure through and make memories.

>> THIRSTY from page 20 it is “weak” or “lame” -- if it wasn’t great, then why did they make an entire song involving Pina Coladas, hmm? [Caution: This does usually contain dairy, for those who are lactose intolerant.]

5) A Pimped-Out Lemonade Lemonades are so easy to make customizable. One of my favorites is the “Ravenclaw” at Dungeons and Drafts -- it is a lavender syrup lemonade with

ginger ale and blueberries. However, you could add pretty much any fruit to lemonade and it makes a great cocktail. Strawberry, raspberry, whatever you like! It’s best with fresh fruit, but fruity syrups are a good substitute and are much easier for bars to keep stocked. Ask for a flavored lemonade, and if they don’t have that, see if they can make one with lemon juice and flavored soda water -- just try it

before you throw it out as a possibility.

Go out, enjoy the bars and taverns and experience college.

These are some great starting options for those who choose not to drink or just simply can’t drink alcohol at the moment, but don’t feel limited to these as you experiment. Discover other drinks to your delight!! Cheers!!!

NATIONAL NEWS

Naked University of South Carolina students latest tipping point for neighborhood residents

By Cynthia Roldan

Within the first week of school at the University of South Carolina, a girl woke up naked on the bench of Suzanne Keenan’s front porch.

She was a very nice girl, who knew where she was and was coherent, said Keenan, who rushed to get her a robe. They had never met. Neither asked each other’s names.

Hopefully, neither will run into each other again, said Keenan, adding she was glad the young woman came to her doorstep instead of a different place where she could have gotten hurt. But she didn’t ask the woman where she had been or how she had ended on her porch.

“It’s not that I didn’t care,” Keenan said. “It’s none of my business. Maybe I did the wrong thing, but I don’t think I did.”

Just a few blocks away, officers from the USC and Columbia police departments responded to a different incident involving intoxicated teenagers earlier that night.

In that case, the woman’s “clothing was out of place,” according to the Columbia Police Department incident report. “A black pair of female underwear” was also found at the corner of Gibbes Court and Barnwell Street. Two women from that location were taken to the hospital that night.

Both incidents are part of a growing concern for the residents of Columbia’s neighborhoods who are worried fed up homeowners will just sell their homes and leave for the suburbs, exacerbating the problem of too many homes turning into rentals for rowdy students.

Instead of getting better, the problem seems to be getting

worse, some residents say, perhaps because of USC’s swelling undergraduate population. And it’s spreading beyond the neighborhoods closest to campus.

Residents are worried about the students’ health and welfare.

But they’re also worried about their own quality of life.

“I don’t think that the city is aware of the tipping point of our in-town neighborhoods,” said Kit Smith, a Wales Garden resident who has organized a coalition of neighborhoods that are working with city and USC officials to address the concerns.

“We need to really work hard and come up with a good strategy to protect the quality of life around the neighborhood,” Smith said. “The inner city neighborhoods have a very special bond about them.”

April Lucas, who lives in University Hill near Five Points, says she knows not all students are binge drinkers or problematic.

But when rental properties outnumber single-family property owners, it’s hard to tackle issues that flow from the party atmosphere that comes with too many of the students who’d rather live off campus.

Lucas has had a drunk, lost student pound on her door at 2:30 a.m. A neighboring home’s door was busted by another student who was also in the wrong place. Vandalism, noise and parking issues, and trash after parties too often also accompany students in rental properties.

“You can almost walk through the neighborhood and pick out which ones are rentals,” Lucas said. “Landlords don’t tend the yard. Cars parked on the lawn. There’s not a lot of good that comes from having too many wrong student tenants.”

But students perform bet-

ter academically when they live close to campus, which is why it’s important for the neighborhoods surrounding the university to have a dynamic environment, said Wes Hickman, chief spokesman for USC. “You can’t underestimate the importance of your surrounding environment on the lives of your students,” Hickman said. “It’s very important for us to have diverse and thriving areas around the university.”

Working with surrounding neighborhoods, the university revamped an off-campus incident report form in 2015 to allow reporting of any type of unruly behavior by students living in off-campus homes, said Anna Edwards, director of student services at USC. Residents no longer have to know the name of a student to file a complaint.

The university has received 75 reports since July 2015.

Reports from neighbors are evaluated, students and landlords are sometimes interviewed, and an incident can go before a board that governs student conduct.

To address the drinking, the school requires students to complete alcohol and sexual assault assessments, Edwards said. There are also university work groups and teams that are looking at high-risk drinking and drug use behaviors in hopes of addressing the issue.

“We believe that we can do a lot of education,” Edwards said.

“We try to create a safe environment.”

USC also uses the university’s code of conduct to address problematic behaviors by students and has increased fines for on-campus alcohol offenses, which has reduced the number of re-offenders.

Briefs from McClatchy Tribune

>> SOCCER from page 16 Izzy Anders capitalized on an aggressive Rams’ defense that was looking to seal the deal as she fired a shot passed Brandt to tie the game at 1-1.

“When you have possession like that, you get a little more anxious,” Hempen said. “So you start sending a few more people forward and next thing you know you’ve got a counter attack. Could Paige have done anything about it? Probably not. You know, that’s not one that’s gonna make Sports Center, but it counts.”

Both teams had opportunities in overtime, but clutch saves from Brandt and UNO goalkeeper Haley Shelton kept

the score knotted for the remainder of the game.

Sunday’s tie marks the end of non-conference play for the Rams as they turn their attention to their Mountain West Conference opponents. Leadership from seniors, including midfielder Kasey Dietrich who has been with the Rams since their establishment in 2013, will be monumental in the team’s success for the remainder of the season.

“I know where we’ve been,” Dietrich said. “We’ve kept building every year but we seem to have a breakdown every year, slowly drifting off. I think us as seniors need to take it upon ourselves to keep on

building and find our problems and fix them.”

Coming off a winless 2015 in conference play, Hempen is aware of the large task that awaits them.

“We’re not over a hump, we’re trying to get over a mountain,” Hempen said. “It’s a big thing in front of us. We’ll go and give our best out there in Utah and Idaho and see if we can’t steal a game or two.”

The Rams begin conference play with two road games against Utah State and Boise State before returning home on Sept. 30 to take on Nevada.
