Due to overwhelming cost of instrument damages, growing concerns for safety and suspicion of hazing, Trombone No. 5, formally known as Trombone Suicides, will no longer be performed by the Colorado State University Marching Band. Trombone No. 5 is a routine performed by the trombone section of the CSU Marching Band in which trombone players line up shoulder-to-shoulder and alternate swinging their instrument and ducking. If band members fail to time themselves correctly, they can be smacked by a band member’s instrument

in the back of the head or in the face. It is popular among audiences who watch them, but more so among those who perform them. “I actually came to CSU to do No. 5,” said Kaelin McDonald, a former CSU marching band trombone player and part of the graduating class of 2016. “I saw the routine first being performed when I was a sophomore in high school. I saw that (routine) and I was like ‘no no no, I’m going to CSU, forget everything else, forget academics, forget everything, that’s what I want to do.’ So I did.” On August 15, the Marching Band was informed they would no longer be performing the routine that had been a staple of the band since the Trombone sec-

tion created it in 1995. The official statement and student suspicion The official statement on the issue cited safety concerns. “The marching band faculty and the director of the school of music, theater and dance, had reviewed some concerns about the safety of students in the band routine known as Trombone No. 5,” said Gary Ozzello, the Colorado State University vice president for external relations. “We’re always cognizant of any and all safety concerns and continually review anything related to our program to address any issues, so as a result we have made the decision to suspend performances of this routine.” According to emails ob-

tained by the Collegian through Colorado’s Open Records Act, Dan Goble, director of the School of Music, Theatre and Dance (SoMTD), Rebecca Phillips, director of bands, and Richard Frey, associate director of bands, agreed to use the word “suspend,” but that the word “does not leave the door open for a return to No. 5.” But, the students, alumni and especially band members, were not satisfied with the answer of safety concerns. “I feel like they’re using injuries for a bigger scapegoat that they don’t want to talk about,” McDonald said. McDonald graduated last May, and while at CSU she marched for the band for three

years. She was part of the trombone section, making her a “Bruce.” CSU trombone players guard why they call themselves “Bruces” – but how they feel about their lost routine is no secret. After she first saw the routine performed when she was a sophomore in high school visiting Colorado from New Mexico for a band competition, McDonald decided CSU was her school of choice. Attending a school out-ofstate to perform a routine may sound extreme, but this is not an unusual amount of enthusiasm for the routine. In fact, many students decide, or at least are heavily influenced, to attend CSU for see ROUTINE on page 4 >>

The University of California, Berkeley has reinstated a course on the history of Palestine, just days after suspending it amid criticism that it fostered anti-Semitism and indoctrinated students against Israel. The university’s ethnic studies department has revised the original course description and syllabus, which aimed to examine Palestine through the “lens of settler colonialism,” according to a letter issued Monday by Carla Hesse, executive dean of the College of Letters and Sciences and dean of the social sciences division. Hesse, in the letter to faculty members, said she met with the course’s student facilitator, faculty sponsor and ethnic studies chair to discuss three concerns. One was whether the course had a “particular political agenda structured into its framing and weekly assignments in such as way as to limit open inquiry of the issues,” thus violating UC rules against political indoctrination and partisanship. She said she also asked them to assess whether the course’s stated objective to “explore the possibilities of a decolonized Palestine” potentially violated UC policy against “crossing over the line from teaching to political advocacy.” Hesse also said she discussed whether the course, which exclusively focused on Palestine, was appropriate for an ethnic studies rather than a regional studies class. The decision to suspend the offering drew widespread attention, with supporters calling it a justified response to anti-Semitism and critics calling it an affront to academic freedom.

Presidential Nominee Donald Trump rallies in Loveland Monday night By Stuart Smith @notstuartsmith

Monday night, the Budweiser Event Center in Loveland filled with thousands of citizens in Northern Colorado, all hoping to get a glimpse of the night’s special guest: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Along with the presidential nominee, several members of the Trump campaign have also made stops in Colorado. His daughter Ivanka, and son, Donald Trump Jr., made stops in Fort Collins and Grand Junction, respectively, and the Republican Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence held a town hall meeting in Colorado Springs. While many of the attendees were supporters of Trump, there were also several groups protesting his arrival in Colorado. The venue established an area in a parking lot outside for the protesters to be able to let their voices be heard safely. “(I) disagree with just about everything he says... it’s just hateful,” said Maisy Montague, a junior at Mountain Vista High School protesting the rally. “All he does is work to make himself richer, and he doesn’t care about anybody else.” In response to Trump’s narrative that illegal immigrants are taking jobs away from legal citizens, she responded that “they are taking the jobs that American citizens wouldn’t do.” Despite the protests, fans of Trump were excited for the rally, and were enthusiastic about a candidate that they believe shares their values. “(Trump) is a better candidate for our military, [and] we can trust him,” Jim Whitlow said. “He’s a businessman, and we need someone in office who’s a businessman, and will get us out of this $20 trillion debt we’re in.” Donald Trump took the stage shortly after 6 p.m. to applause, and immediately started his speech by saying that he would win Colorado, and that everyone needed to send in their ballots before Nov. 8, election day. Once the introductory part of his speech was over, he started talking about taking on ISIS, saying “you don’t talk, you do it,” and that General George Patton is “spinning in his grave.” After that, he spoke about Colorado-specific issues, such as hunting and mining.

In regards to the Second Amendment, Trump said that it is “under siege,” and that “we have to preserve and protect it.” Then, he started attacking Hillary Clinton’s energy plans, saying that it would take away, “hundreds of millions of jobs in terms of dollars,” and that his plan would “put our miners back to work.” A large part of Trump’s speech was devoted to addressing his tax plan, and his knowledge of the tax code. “(My plan will be the) largest tax cut since Ronald Reagan, and the largest regulatory reform in American history,” Trump said. He claimed his tax plan would bring taxes for companies down from 35 percent to 15 percent, for middle income citizens to 12.5 percent, and 0 percent for “people that aren’t doing so well.” Then, Trump spoke about infrastructure, saying that with the tax rates now, one would expect the country to be “tippy top.” “But, it’s the opposite of tippy top,” Trump said. “(There are) potholes, airports are horrible, like third-world countries, (there are) bridges that are half falling down.” Trump said that he “understands the tax laws better than anyone, which is why [he] is the one that can fix them,” that he is “going to do things to make our taxes more fair, and make our whole country a more fair place to live.” Trump also addressed the article that the New York Times published this past weekend about allegedly losing nearly a billion dollars in 1995. He said that it was during “one of the most brutal economic downturns in our country’s history,” and that “the conditions facing [the] nation’s real estate developers were almost as bad as in 1929,” when the Great Depression began. But now, he explained, his company “has never been stronger, has never been better.” After, he delved into a detailed explanation of his career as a businessman, explaining that tough times were when he “performed (his) best, and enjoyed it, in a certain way, the most,” and that he “enjoyed waking up, every single morning, to go to battle... taking out the financial establishment, dealing with the financial establishment.” Then, Trump spoke about the state of the country’s race relations, saying that “this is not the America that was handed down to us, and it’s not the America we

want given to our children.” He blamed the current climate on the political establishment, saying that, “it must go.” He finished the rally with a call to action, saying that “together, we will make America

wealthy again . . . we will make America strong again, we will make America safe again, and we will make America great again.” Trump will next be making a national appearance on Oct. 9, in the second of three presiden-

tial election debates. His running mate, Mike Pence, will be debating Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine on Tuesday, Oct. 4. Stuart Smith can be reached at news@collegian.com

According to Rodriguez, the decision was not difficult. “CSU had a marching band, one, and two, they did the trombone suicides,” Rodriguez said. Also like his fellow alum, Rodriguez does not buy that the routine was cut for safety concerns. “More than likely a trombone hit a trombone and not a person,” Rodriguez said.

they speak to media. Like their alumni counterparts, this band member does not believe Trombone No. 5 was terminated solely out of safety concerns as the official statement implies. “All I know is that we used to have a budget, and then I’m guessing No. 5 ate it all up, because 2014 was actually a really bad year,” said the band member. “We averaged about one broken horn a game, and that’s not good, -in fact, maybe more than one broken horn.” Faculty Justification An email justifying the cut, sent on Aug. 15 from Dan Goble to CSU President Tony Frank, lists safety and cost as reasons for eliminating the routine. “While there have been no serious injuries to date, there have been incidents where students have been struck in the face with trombone slides, causing damage to the instruments and minor injuries to students,” Goble wrote. According to a timeline in an email from Goble, the cessation of the routine had been in the works since August 2011, when Richard Frey began his

role as director of athletic bands and immediately had concerns about the safety of the routine. In August 2014, Rebecca Philips assumed the role of director of bands and had concerns about No. 5 creating a hazing culture. An email, sent on Aug. 29 from Richard Frey to Goble about No. 5, states the routine had caused six reported injuries since 2008, but cost $2,108 in damage expenditures in 2015 alone. However, in a 5-page document titled, “Justification of the Removal of Trombone Suicide (#5) from the CSU Marching Band” written by Rebecca Phillips, director of bands, states “students paid for repairs as they occurred.” According to the report, “the expenditure of Music Program Fee funds for avoidable damage to instruments is not good stewardship of student fees.” The claim that trombone repair costs were inappropriate uses of student fees appears to have been made without the consultation of any student groups or members of the marching band itself. “The incident that finally

brought this to a head was due to a student who … refused to pay for the repairs to her instrument,” Phillips wrote in the report. “After Dr. Frey communicated with her numerous times about the instrument contract over several months, she stated that No. 5 was a ‘requirement of the class (marching band)’ and that she would not pay for damages.” Although the document uses the word “refused” in reference to the student not paying for damages, an anonymous band member told the Collegian the student was unable to pay. The source said that the student is no longer attending CSU for cost-related reasons not related to marching band. The student who struggled to pay for instrument damage could not be reached for comment. Goble did not want students to have to pay for Trombone No. 5 damages, according to an email from Sheryl Highsmith, the budget manager of the SoMTD, to Copper Ferreira, the Assistant Professor of Music Theory on Feb. 1. In April 2016, Frey, Phillips, and Goble agree to consider

eliminating Trombone No. 5, though several students in the band had been told their directors had fought for their routine. “I know for a fact it did not come from the band directors, they fought very hard to keep it,” said the anonymous band member. However, according to the justification document, “Dr. Goble made the difficult decision to recommend to the Director of Athletic Bands to remove #5 from the band’s repertoire.” Though Frey, Phillips and Goble were concerned about public reaction to the decision, they were surprised at the amount of public outcry, according to the document. “I was proud to have (performed the routine) and it’s really disheartening, it seems to be such an abrupt decision to let it go,” said McDonald.

Amendment T: eliminating slavery from the Colorado constitution By Dan DeHerrera @thedanwrites

Although more than a hundred years have passed since the abolishment of slavery the practice is still technically legal -- according to Colorado’s constitution. “There shall never be in this state either slavery or involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted,” according to section 26 of article II in the Colorado state Constitution. Amendment T, introduced earlier this year, proposes a change in the wording of section 26. The change would eliminate the exceptions to slavery. Instead, the language of the law would read: “there shall never be in this state either slavery or involuntary servitude.” If the amendment is approved higher fines

may be issued to offenders in place of community service and work requirements which could impact state revenue. Currently, inmates perform reduced-cost labor for the state of Colorado. While extra work is not required, it may contribute to faster parole date. If inmates do not produce work the state of Colorado may have to hire workers at minimum wage. The utility of the current law lies in work requirements for prisoners of the state. According to the Colorado Blue Book, those currently incarcerated or on probation are not required to work during their sentences, but they may be assigned to work duties or community service and “face a reduction in or loss of privileges or a delayed parole eligibility date,” if they choose not to fulfill work requirements. Currently, the unique

phrasing makes it easier for prisons to assign work to inmates cost free. While those incarcerated may not be forced to undertake mandatory labor, the law makes it easier for prisons to enforce penalties for those who choose not to work. The proposed amendment has received little opposition on its path to the ballot in November. Both the Colorado Senate and House unanimously approved Amendment T for voter decision. The argument against the amendment comes from the bill itself. “Amendment T may result in legal uncertainty around current offender work practices in the state. Prison work requirements provide structure and purpose for offenders, while enabling skill building and helping to reduce recidivism,” the amendment states. see SLAVERY on page 16 >>

Amendment 71 could make Colorado Constitution more difficult to alter By Julia Currier @juliadc965

Amendment 71 could make changing the Colorado Constitution more difficult by adding requirements to get amendments on the ballot. If the legislation passes there will be two requirements to get a state constitutional amendment on the ballot: petition signatures will be required from all 35 senate districts in Colorado, and at least 2 percent of registered voters in each senate district have to sign the petition. Currently, 5 percent of the total number of votes cast for the office of the Colorado Secretary of State is required to get a state constitutional amendment on the ballot. All of the signatures could come from the same district. This year, the state required 98,492 signatures to get an amendment on

the ballot. Amendment 71 would require an amendment to have small support statewide to get on the ballot. After it reaches the ballot, Amendment 71 would require 55 percent of voters to approve it. Right now an amendment needs a simple majority to pass. The amendment only applies to state constitutional amendments and not statutory ones. This means it only applies to amendments that seek to change the state’s constitution and not amendments that focus on Colorado laws. Supporters of Amendment 71 claim that it is difficult for legislators to change amendments when there are problems, so increasing the requirements to get an amendment on the ballot would encourage more statutory amendments. Statutory amendments are easier

to change, while constitutional amendments require an election. Advocates for Amendment 71 also claim that requiring people from all across the state to back an amendment would make sure there is statewide support instead of support from one population center. Those who oppose Amendment 71 claim it would make changing the constitution too difficult. The signature process can already be a challenge and the new requirement might demand more time and money, thus hindering democracy, according to an article in the Denver Post. The opposition to the amendment also claims that statutory laws can be changed or repealed without voter approval, unlike constitutional amendments. “I haven’t completely see ALTER on page 16 >>

To reduce waste FoCo grocery stores’ methods must get “ugly” Julia Rentsch @julia_rentsch

Most, if not all, home cooks have likely had the experience of opening up a carton of milk, taking a whiff, and nearly gagging — or, perhaps, finding an old onion in your cupboard of which your memory is a little “fuzzy.” Yuck. Except under a watchful eye, food waste happens — but the extent to which large-scale grocery stores throw out good food that has not even gone bad yet is truly rotten. On Aug. 31, 2016, The Coloradoan reported that a Change. org petition to Walmart stores in Fort Collins, Boulder, Denver and other cities asked Walmart to sell aesthetically displeasing produce at their stores for a reduced price. The petition claims that nearly 700,000 Coloradoans and 48 million people nationally are food-insecure, while 20 percent of American produce is rejected by grocery stores just because of its odd looks with no regard for its edible value. The Colorado petition is still below its threshold of 500 signatures, but a national version, begun early this year that calls on both Walmart and Whole Foods to act, has received 111,620 signatures and has been submitted to the president and CEO of Walmart International and Whole Foods Market. On Aug. 29 The Coloradoan also published a map of 10,000 households who accessed the nonprofit Food Bank for Larimer County Food Share program in 2015. The map, which was made by the nonprofit, shows what the article describes as an “omnipresent need” for greater access to food resources in Fort Collins. It also explains that those who struggle with hunger also deal with a certain stigma. Additionally, the nonprofit predicts that need for food will significantly increase. “Food Bank for Larimer County has a goal to provide 12.2 million meals a year by 2035 — a nearly 65 percent increase from the 7.4 million meals it provided in 2015,” the article states.

How it ever became acceptable to throw away the amount of food that we do in the U.S., given the amount of need, is beyond me. According to NPR, we toss out enough food to fill 44 skyscrapers (some $162 billion worth) each year. In 2015 the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency announced a national target for a 50 percent reduction in food waste by 2030. The steep target, however, was described by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack as merely “challenging the country” to reduce waste and doesn’t mandate compliance. The number of people who have even heard of this initiative is likely very few and we will not reach the 50 percent goal without a national-scale change of habits. This must start with some of the biggest offenders: grocery stores. After receiving the above-mentioned national petition Whole Foods has agreed to test the sale of ugly produce, though a report from NPR explained that, in a way, it’s already happening: “Whole Foods currently buys less cosmetically appealing produce for prepared foods, juice and smoothie bars.” But the incorporation of the produce into high-priced smoothies will not help solve the kinds of problems that people in need are facing. Offering up the “ugly” as an alternative to purchasing pristine produce is both a civic responsibility and a way to deal with the slightly bruised, weirdly proportioned, perfectly edible fruit and vegetables that consumers are unlikely to buy at full price. France became the first nation in the world this year to pass a law that bans supermarkets from wasting food and simultaneously marked itself as a leader in the anti-food waste movement. The law mandates that French supermarkets donate unsold food to charities to help feed the needy. Before the law, USA Today reports, some French supermarkets had even been intentionally destroying their extra food by dumping bleach on it to prevent others from eating it, and to presumably attempt to force people to buy it in their store instead. The new law now bans this practice

as well as other methods to keep people from taking good-quality discarded food like securing the lids of their trash bins. If, in addition to selling aesthetically imperfect produce, U.S. supermarkets were to take up a similar law it would be nearly impossible for anything but the truly past-its-prime produce to be wasted in the landfill. Buying reduced-price produce in the store also offers a far more dignified option for those in need than searching through trash bins. You may be thinking, “gross! Why would we offer rotten food to consumers?” But be assured, we are exclusively talking about non-rotten food that is perfectly fit to eat. Just take a look at this report from NPR about a “Feast For 5,000 Made From Food Waste,” which was served at an event “designed to raise awareness about all the food waste that results from inefficiencies in the system and consumer behavior — and give people a tasty incentive to do something about it.” The chefs cooked dishes like paella and curry, which offer a hodgepodge of vegetables and aren’t required to look pristine , just taste good. As if another reason to adopt these policies was needed, there

are environmental reasons why keeping food waste out of landfills is a good idea. Wasted food makes up the second biggest portion of the types of waste that are in American landfills (just behind paper and ahead of plastic), according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Though food might seem innocuous enough to have in a landfill (it would break down easily in nature, and at least it’s not styrofoam or battery acid) the natural decomposition process is stunted by the landfill environment. As stated by the EPA, “in landfills, organic materials, like food scraps and yard trimmings, are broken down by bacteria to produce methane. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is shown to have a warming potential of 21 times that of carbon dioxide.” Composted food also produces methane, albeit much less than in the anaerobic landfill environment. If supermarkets were to adopt composting programs for their inedible leftover produce, in addition to the initiatives mentioned above, nearly every wasteful gap in the supermarket system would be closed. Of course, there is also the responsibility of the consumer at home to not waste good food : eat leftovers, don’t mistake “sell-

by” dates for “consume-by” dates, only buy as much as you need and start composting at home or in your neighborhood. One purpose of the Food Bank for Larimer County Food Share map of home addresses is to show that “if you live in Fort Collins, it’s likely someone in your neighborhood faced hunger and sought help at least once last year.” And people in need live where you wouldn’t expect, even “in coveted Old Town, quaint Mountain Avenue and near relaxing golf courses.” People in need are all over which makes both Larimer County’s — and the country’s — current inattention to the issue all the more in need of change. And what better place to begin large-scale adaptation of these grocery store improvements than in Fort Collins, which is home to so many people dedicated to a better environment and a better future for all? To take the lead on this national anti-waste movement Fort Collins grocery stores would do well to take the first leap and keep what is fresh out of the trash.

Thompson: Commuter etiquette is lacking on campus Laurel Thompson @laurelthompson

Having grown up in Fort Collins bike etiquette is second nature to me, and I hate dealing with people who don’t follow the rules. Whether it is the biker himself or the surrounding cars and pedestrians that cause issues, it seems as though coexistence on the roads and sidewalks is becoming more difficult on the north end of town. On campus in particular, bike etiquette is lacking and students should pay more attention to their surroundings when commuting to and from school. First of all, bikes are considered vehicles just as much as cars in the state of Colorado, and therefore bikers are required to abide by the same traffic rules on the road. This includes stopping at stop signs, obeying the right of way, staying in the bike lane, using hand signals and turning on both front and back lights at night.

“I cannot count the number of times I have almost collided with a biker who thinks these rules don’t apply to them, which happens to be most common in the neighborhoods by Campus West, on South Dr. near the dorms in the parking lots of Moby Arena and the Morgan Library.”

I cannot count the number of times I have almost collided with a biker who thinks these rules don’t apply to them, which happens to be most common in the neighborhoods by Campus West, on South Dr. near the dorms, and in the parking lots of Moby Arena and the Morgan Library. While I understand that being hit by a car in these areas is much less of a threat than on Shields, Elizabeth or Laurel, this is not an excuse to ride carelessly or without regard for other bikers, cars and pedestrians. In Colorado, and particularly in Fort Collins, we share the road. Although they are a main contributor, bikers are not always at fault when it comes to poor commuter etiquette on the roads and sidewalks near campus. In fact, pedestrians can sometimes be even more oblivious and entitled. For example, one of my biggest pet peeves is having to dodge between pedestrians walking in my half of the bike lane and the oncoming bikers in front of an already-crowded dismount zone by the Morgan Library. This is extremely frustrating because the pedestrians, who are usually looking down at their phones and sometimes even walk two or three-across, seem completely apathetic to the fact that there is a sidewalk designated for foot traffic right next to them. By choosing to ignore this, students who walk in the bike lanes cause unneeded frustration and danger when bikers have to weave into the other lane to avoid hitting them. What’s worse, it is not unusual for pedestrians to cross the bike lanes without looking up from their phones to make sure it’s clear. Given that it’s common sense to look both ways before crossing a road, I can’t help but wonder what it is about bike lanes that makes pedestrians

think they have any less chance of being hit. Seems like optimism bias if you ask me, seeing as bikers don’t have any better reaction time than drivers do if both are going the same speed. As always, drivers can be better about following traffic laws and sharing the road with bikers. Lately, however, I haven’t no-

ticed as much foul play on their part as there has been among bikers and pedestrians on campus—especially when it comes to bike lanes, dismount zones and parking lots. In a rapidly growing college town like Fort Collins, that also happens to be one of the most bike-friendly places in the nation, bike etiquette has never

been more important. So please, stop at stop signs, use your hand signals and do not try to bike on College between Laurel and Harmony. It is illegal and you will probably die.

Colorado State looking for leaders ahead of Utah State game By Chad Deutschman @ChadDeutschman

Colorado State has been outscored 82-24 by their two biggest rivals this year. The University of Colorado dominated the Rocky Mountain Showdown to the tune of a 44-7 win over CSU. Wyoming strolled across the border and stunned CSU 38-17 in the last Border War at Hughes Stadium. Heading into the Wyoming game CSU was riding high off a loss. The Rams battled Minnesota in a 31-24 loss, but came away feeling like they were prepared to take the next step. It looked like CSU was on track to take the next step and head into homecoming week with 14-3 in the second quarter against Wyoming. Two turnovers, a missed field goal and a shanked punt later, the train did not fall off the tracks, but the tracks need to be repaired. With a matchup with Utah State (2-3, 0-2 MW) looming, head coach Mike Bobo is searching for leaders and for players who make plays. Coming into the Border War, CSU looked to have a strong core. But, coming into Utah State, the core is being reevaluated. “There comes a time when you just can’t pat everybody on the back and say, ‘everything is going to be ok,’” Bobo said. “You have got to be willing to address things and call people out. Not necessarily in a negative way, but holding people accountable to get things done.” By not holding any more hands, Bobo is hoping that his team’s leaders will step up. At a time where the season is like a scale ready to tip either way, Bobo wants the Rams to establish some concrete lead-

ership. “I’m always a firm believer that the difference between a good team and a great team is player-led over coach-led,” Bobo said during Monday’s press conference. “We are not even a good football team right now. There have been moments of good football plays, but we are not a good football team to this point.” The troubling thing for Bobo is not that the team is not

being player-led at the moment; it is the way they have been performing. “What is disheartening is we’re 2-3,” Bobo said. “You sit here and try to say this is the reason, that is the reason. The bottom line is we’re not executing well offensively, we’re not making enough plays defensively and we are not winning special teams. We are either drawing or not winning, and we have got to figure out ways to do that.”

It is easy to look at the two first half turnovers for CSU and see them as the turning point. Bobo does not think so. Bobo said there is a lot of football still to be played and the team could have mounted a comeback, they just did not. The blame for the Border War loss does not fall on a single player, or a single play. The entire team needs to play better if the Rams want to compete against Utah State, including the head

coach. “Ultimately that burden falls on me as the head coach,” Bobo said. “I have to do a better job of putting guys in a position to lead, where they can hold people accountable, and then we still got to go to work. We have to improve, (we’re) 2-3, there is a lot of football left to be played and we have a better opportunity this Saturday.” Chad Deutschman can be reached at sports@collegian.com

Michael: Wyoming loss proves Rams still have growing up to do JUSTIN MICHAEL @JustinTMichael

Following Saturday’s blowout loss to Wyoming, senior wide receiver Robert Ruiz described the performance by saying the team got punched in the mouth. That might be stating it lightly. The Rams got punched in the mouth, punched in the eye, and then the Cowboys kicked them when they were down, celebrating with the Bronze Boot on Colorado State’s home turf. Wyoming dominated physically, averaging 5.5 yards per carry and rushing for a team total of 269 yards. The majority of the load was carried by running back Brian Hill who rushed for 166 yards and ran through the Rams front seven with ease. Along with 79 yards rushing from Pokes’ quarterback Josh Allen, CSU genuinely had no answer for the Wyoming ground attack. The Cowboys converted 12 of their 19 first downs on the ground and won the possession battle by five minutes despite being outgained by the Rams in total yardage. What was extremely alarming is, for the second consecutive week, the CSU defense failed to make routine tackles on a con-

sistent basis. A defense that is as inexperienced as the CSU squad can certainly be expected to have bumps along the road, especially with issues in communication and pre-snap adjustments, but one thing that will drive a coaching staff insane is missed tackles. In a run-heavy conference like the Mountain West, this defense is going to have to make adjustments in a hurry. CSU still has to face the triple-option attacks of Air Force and New Mexico, along with arguably the top-two running backs in the conference: Jeremy McNichols (Boise State) and Donnel Pumphrey (San Diego State). If the Rams defend the rush against these opponents like they did in the Border War, CSU is not going to have much of a chance in any of those games. Along with the defense, the offense needs to execute at a higher level. Despite racking up 481 yards of total offense Saturday night, the Rams were not able to capitalize in crucial moments of the game. The offense was able to move the ball and make some plays in the open field, but fell short in the red zone. In their three trips to the red zone the CSU offense came away with just 10 points. A pair of Colorado State turnovers led to 14 points for the Pokes and that was really the difference in the game. The offense definitely performed better than

the defense, but the team really looked flat as a whole which says a lot about the state of the team. Wearing new uniforms in front of a packed house, the Rams looked overwhelmed by the big moment which is not an acceptable excuse five weeks into the season. It is clear that there is a lot of young talent, but they have a lot of maturing to do. When the lights have shined brightest the

Rams have struggled in 2016. Whether it is a personnel issue or adjustments that need to be made by the coaching staff, something needs to change. Utah State will be an excellent test to see exactly what this young CSU team is made of and what adjustments are going to be made moving forward. Utah State is always one of the elite physical programs in the

Mountain West, and coming off a pair of conference losses to Air Force and Boise State, the Aggies are going to be hungry for a victory. That being said, Colorado State has a lot to play for themselves. Half way through the season, the Rams have a must-win game against Utah State Saturday.

CSU volleyball seeking complete defensive efforts By Michael Roley @michael_roley

Defense wins championships. This old cliché saying that stresses the importance of playing defense seems to be proclaimed any time a team, regardless of sport, wins a championship as a result of stellar defensive play.

“Our blocking is good but it has been better.” TOM HILBERT HEAD COACH

And for the CSU volleyball team to end up where they want to be at season’s end (atop the Mountain West conference and safely in the NCAA tournament) they will need a complete defensive effort. The Rams, who have rattled off three consecutive wins to begin Mountain West play, sport a pretty stout blocking unit. Middle blocker Alexandra Poletto is leading the conference at 1.51 blocks per set. Teammate Kirstie Hiller, who spells Poletto in the middle at times, is right behind her with an average of 1.49 blocks per set, second in the MW. But head coach Tom Hilbert knows they can do better, and have been. Opponents are hitting .194 against the Rams this season. According to Hilbert, that figure has been typically down below the .150 mark in the past. “Our blocking is good but it has been better,” he said. “Too many people are hitting through us and that hasn’t happened in the past few years. We’re giving up a high hitting percentage comparatively.” But there is a lot more that goes into putting together a superb defensive effort besides the block. As entertaining as it would be for the spectators, not every attack will result in a stuff. It will get tipped and need to be controlled by the back row. This is

another area Hilbert is looking to improve. “There’s so much involved in that,” Hilbert said. “You have to block but it’s not just stuff blocks. Your block does a lot more than that. It deflects balls that you can dig and you have to control the balls that come off the block and we don’t always do that. We have great effort on defense but it’s really control that we need.” The back row is anchored by senior libero Cassidy Denny who is averaging 4.15 digs per set thus far, ranking fifth highest in the MW. Alongside her are a lot of new faces. Junior McKenna Thornlow, a transfer from North Texas, is digging at 1.43 digs a set and has been improving in the new system, Hilbert said. The rest of the back line is filled out predominantly by three true freshman, Amanda Young, Katie Oleksak, and Olivia Nicholson. Oleskak and Nicholson are both averaging over two digs a set. For a group with all sorts of brand-new faces they have performed well, but the lock-down and dominant defense, that can stifle any teams’ attack, is still a work in progress. “I’d give them a B right now,” Hilbert said. “In order to get an A we need to be known as a team that you can’t kill balls on and I don’t think we’re known that way.” At times though, when the Rams’ blocking is firing on all cylinders, other teams adjust and work around it. They tip it over the top and put pressure on the back row to be aggressive and come up to make plays on the ball. “That’s when we have to have the mentality of everybody needs to go for the ball,” Denny said. “Our block is doing their job and that’s why they’re tipping. Those should be easy balls to dig and convert. The fact that we weren’t doing that in the beginning was frustrating…Just getting the freshman to realize the reason they’re tipping is because we’re blocking correctly and so we should see that, read that, and pick up on it.” A major key to playing effective defense is being able to read what the other team is doing attack-wise and that is something the Rams are aiming to improve at.

College football’s biggest underachieving, overachieving teams By Matt Murschel

consecutive games. Offense has never been a problem, it’s the defense that has been the issue with the team allowing close to 500 yards per game. _LSU (3-2): Few programs began the season with loftier expectations than the Tigers, entering 2016 ranked among the top five teams in the country, thanks to experience and talent. Both weren’t enough in close losses to Wisconsin and Auburn, which ultimately cost Les Miles his job. LSU responded and helped interim coach Ed Orgeron score a win this week, but is it too little too late? And meet the overachievers: _Colorado (4-1): Colorado hasn’t started a season this well

in more than a decade (2005). The Buffaloes are thriving thanks to a defense that leads the Pac-12 and an offense that is averaging more than 500 yards and 43 points per game. Mike MacIntyre’s team snapped a sixgame losing streak to Oregon, beating the Ducks for the first time since 1998. _Wake Forest (4-1): The Demon Deacons haven’t won four games in a season since 2013 and haven’t started a season 4-1 since the Jim Grobe days in 2011 _ the program’s last bowl appearance. Granted, the team’s strength of schedule isn’t among the top 50 in the country and Wake Forest suffered its first loss during the weekend

We’re nearly halfway through the college football season and there have already been a slew of surprises _ teams that appear to be either underachieving or overachieving on the gridiron. Meet the underachievers: _Oklahoma (2-2): The Sooners were preseason favorites to not only win the Big 12 again but also compete for a spot in the College Football Playoff semifinals. However, that quickly went out the window after dropping games against Houston and Ohio State. The team has struggles to limit turnovers and protect quarterback Baker

Mayfield. _Michigan State (2-2): The Spartans hadn’t lost back-toback regular season Big Ten games since 2012 and few expected a slump, but Michigan State has stumbled to losses during consecutive contests against Wisconsin and Indiana. It’s not for a lack of talent, but Mark Dantonio’s team is making too many uncharacteristic mistakes and now could be saddled with its worst season since 2012. _Oregon (2-3): Mark Helfrich went from golden prodigy to hot seat occupant in two short seasons. The Ducks are off to their worst start to a season since 2004, dropping three

It may not happen tomorrow, or even next week, but eventually the Rams are hoping to string together complete defensive performances. “I think we’re definitely going to get it,” Denny said. “I don’t know if it’ll happen as soon as Tom and Emily would like, but I think it’s going to click. It’s already starting to work. Around our block we’re digging the hard balls that we were missing before and now just need to work on the off-speed shots that are happening because of our block and we’ll be good.” Michael Roley can be reached at sports@collegian.com

against NC State, but it’s still an impressive start. _Eastern Michigan (4-1): The Eagles have won more games this season (4) than its past two seasons combined (2 and 1). Eastern Michigan is off to its best start since 2011. The team’s only loss was to Missouri _ a Power 5 foe _ and the wins have come against teams that have a combined record of 4-11. _Troy (4-1): Neal Brown has done an amazing job in just his second season with the Trojans, who are off to their best start since moving up to the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2001 thanks to a high-scoring offense led by quarterback Brandon Silvers.

CSU music students gain performance experience with Neue Polka Colorado By Tony Villalobos May @TonyTheGnarly

Colorado State University has a wide range of music ensembles including a polka band. The ensemble, dedicated solely to playing polka music, is called the Neue Polka Colorado. This ensemble has upwards of 25 members that perform in the northern Colorado area, fo-

cusing mainly on Oktoberfest events. “I love the environment and the atmosphere of it,” said sophomore music education major and tuba player Gavin Milburn. The band plays both traditional Bavarian and Austrian marchers, waltzes, polkas and modern renditions of popular songs from artists like Britney

Spears and the White Stripes. “I’m just looking forward to play this music,” said tuba player Brett Huston. “It’s a lot of fun.” The band has between 10 and 15 members at each gig with flexible instrumentation. While initially unpaid, many gigs are now paid for and the band is hired by public and private employers.

In the past, the Neue Polka Band has performed at Longmont and Loveland Oktoberfests, the Jammin’ Ram Run 5K and private parties at brewing companies. “I’m expecting a lot of poka, a lot of beer and seeing shenanigans in the crowd,” Huston said. The polka band was created by CSU music professors Chris Van Hof and John McGuire to

LSC’s Starbucks boosting Ram pride with homecoming themed drink By Taylor Felver @collegian_tay

Many students line up daily to get their favorite coffees at the Starbucks in the LSC, and for this week only, a new twist on a fan favorite pays off. The Starbucks is offering a special homecoming drink appropriately named The Ram-uccino. This drink is comprised of the classic Vanilla

Bean Frappuccino with a Ramthemed green whipped cream on top. The drink itself has no caffeine and is mainly crème flavored, providing a positive alternative for those who respond well to caffeine’s many effects. The green whipped topping has a subtle flavor with a hint of mint and creates a cool looking result when mixed. After trying out the drink,

CSU student Sarah Evans said that it is sure to increase Ram pride. “It is a great deal because it is $1 off, and it tastes good,” Evans said. A grande Ram-uccino at the current discounted price only costs $3.17, not only making it a tasty treat to celebrate homecoming, but also an affordable one for those on a budget. see STARBUCKS on page 16 >>

“Ash vs. Evil Dead” returns just in time for Halloween season with an action-packed premier By Megan Hanner @meganhanner48

With Halloween approaching, it’s officially the season for horror. “Ash vs Evil Dead” returned to Starz on Oct. 2 for the premier of the second season. The action packed premier promised more hilarity and over the top blood, gore and action. The show is an addition to Sam Raimi’s famed 1981 cult classic “The Evil Dead.” This hilariously gory movie with cheesy, yet awesome, special affects remains a favorite among horror fans. “The Evil Dead” remake was also released in 2013. The movie tells the story of Ash, a young man that goes to a cabin with his friends. After he and his friends find and read from a cursed book, demons come to the cabin and take over their bodies one by one. Ash must battle them, losing his hand in the process. It’s totally fine though, because he gets a chainsaw to take its place to help fight those nasty demons. Season one of “Ash vs Evil Dead” focused on Ash (Bruce Campbell) thirty years after the events of “The Evil Dead.” It turns out that Ash still has the Book of the Dead and makes the mistake of reading from it again. He embarks on a journey to destroy the book along with his friends Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo) and Pablo (Ray Santiago). Ruby

(Lucy Lawless) looks to also become a main demonic character in this season. The premier of the second season brings the action within the first five minutes of the episode. Right off the bat, a chase scene immediately brings back the vibes from the first season with darkness and over the top nastiness, typical of director Sam Raimi. The action continues beyond the first five minutes with one fight scene

after another. DeLorenzo as Kelly always seperates herself from the other main characters, but especially so in this episode. One scene that stood out shows her fighting her way out of a demon entrapment. DeLorenzo definitly fills the role of a powerful female lead in the horror and gore-filled series. One interesting thing about this episode is that it offers a see ASH VS. EVIL on page 14 >>

>> ASH VS EVIL DEAD from page 13 peek into Ash’s personal life, a topic that the show has previously ignored. Ash is forced to return to his hometown in Michigan and face some old demons (pun intended). With a town full of locals who taunt him with “Ashy Slashy,” it is clear not many people know the truth about the events of “The Evil Dead.” There are also some funny lines in this premiere. The humor in the show can initially come off as cheesy and forced, but this

type of obnoxious comedy works well for “Ash vs Evil Dead.” This blatant humor seems natural in this brazen series. The special effects are fantastic in the show. Even in the year 2016 Raimi still pays homage to the 1981 cult-classic movie. Though the copious amounts of blood can be a little much, the overall feel to the effects reminds the viewer that they are watching an addition to “The Evil Dead.” After choosing to team up with an enemy for the greater

good, it will be exciting to see what season two of “Ash vs Evil Dead” will bring. One thing is clear: Ash, Kelly and Pablo will bring a season of fast-paced action and horror that we all crave during the month leading up to Halloween. Since the show is only on its second season it is not too late to make it a new scary favorite. “Ash vs Evil Dead” airs Sundays on Starz at 6.
