Amendment 69 to the Colorado Constitution is one of nine statewide ballot measures scheduled to appear on the Colorado ballot this November.

The amendment would create a new healthcare system for the state known as ColoradoCare, which would implement a new payment procedure to finance universal healthcare for

residents of Colorado.

The goal of the initiative is to distribute healthcare to all Colorado residents, despite financial circumstances, by collecting a premium based on the resident’s income.

If the amendment does not pass, Colorado’s current healthcare system will not change.

If voters choose to support Amendment 69, the new system will aim to contract with medi-

cal providers in order to pay for specific healthcare benefits as well as regulate Medicaid, basic health programs for children, and remaining state and federal healthcare funds. The amendment would designate ColoradoCare to pay for healthcare services despite the cause of a patient’s illness or injury.

The goal of the new system is to cover all state residents with healthcare. A few of the exten-

sive benefits offered by ColoradoCare include hospitalization, rehabilitative services and devices, mental health services and chronic disease management.

Some supporters of the amendment said they support the benefits of ColoradoCare.

“I think that there’s value in the comprehensive benefits that are offered, for instance, mental health and women’s healthcare are important,” said Julie Lieb-

enguth, a second year graduate student majoring in political science.

Additionally, ColoradoCare would substitute the medical care piece of workers’ compensation, remove deductibles and get rid of co-payments for preventive and primary care services.

“I think I’m just a proponent of universal healthcare in general, and I think it would be

A man was shot and killed by police on the University of Colorado Boulder’s campus, and buildings were put on lockdown after a false report of an active shooter Wednesday afternoon.

Police responded to the reports of a male with a machete; the suspect was shot and killed by police. According to CU Boulder Police, the suspect was not following directions given by the officers.

The CU Boulder Chief Spokesperson confirmed the suspect to be deceased on the University of Colorado Boulder Facebook page shortly after the incident.

“Please continue to avoid the area around the Champions Center while the investigation continues. Classes and campus events are being held as scheduled,” stated an update to the CU Boulder Facebook page.

The CU Boulder PD alerted students via Twitter of safety measures. CU Boulder PD asked students to avoid the Champion Center and to take protective action.

There is an ongoing investigation at the Champion Center.

A threat of an active shooter was also made on the CU campus that afternoon. The reports were false, according to the CU Boulder PD, but police asked students to continue to avoid the area.

Some CU Boulder students who were under lockdown in the University Memorial Center said police officers entered the building shouting with weapons drawn.

Search dogs were also sent into the UMC, according to CU Boulder staff members.

Around 2 p.m., CU Boulder PD tweeted that there were no current threats to campus and that classes would continue as normal for the rest of the day.

Congressman Jared Polis visits Fort Collins, speaks on Donald Trump, student debt, money in politics

By Stuart Smith @notstuartsmith

United States House of Representatives member Jared Polis paid a visit to Fort Collins on Wednesday, Oct. 5 at the Larimer County Democratic office to discuss issues relevant to college students and other millennials, including student debt. He also spoke on the 2010 Supreme Court case Citizens United v.

Federal Election Commission and money’s involvement in the political system.

Polis is the incumbent in Colorado’s second congressional district, which includes Boulder, Vail, Thornton, and, as of 2011, Loveland and Fort Collins. He was first elected to the legislature in 2008, and serves on several committees in the House, including the Committee on Rules and the Committee on Education and the Workforce.

As the first openly gay parent to serve in Congress, he is co-chair of the LGBT Equality Caucus.

“Polis’ top priority is ensuring that all Americans regardless of geography or economic background receive a world-class education,” according to his official biography. Polis believes education “ ... is the single most meaningful investment America can make in its economic future and in its people.”

Polis began the evening with a speech about Donald Trump and the effects he would have on this country as President.

“This is a very high stakes presidential election,” Polis said.

Polis said Trump’s insults are “beyond presidential,” and “nothing that Romney, McCain, or Bush ever did, and not something that a Democratic candidate has ever done.”

He followed up by saying that Trump’s only real policy, other than building a wall at the Mexican-American Border, is “wild inconsistency,” whereas Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has “well hashed out polices” and “lots of consistency.”

On student debt, Polis referred the audience to Clinton’s higher education plan, saying he believes it’s strong.

Polis said the plan would allow students and college graduates to refinance their student debt at much lower interest rates than they can now.

Polis also explained his plan to decrease the prices of textbooks so that students would not have to pay so much during college, which would result in more debt afterwards.

He said he supports open source textbooks, which, according to Student Public Interest Research Groups, are “complete digital textbooks that are accessible online at no cost, and . . . are affordable to purchase printed as a book.”

Open source textbooks, he said, would not result in not having physical books, but could result in the books costing $10.

When asked about the heavy involvement of money in politics, and how he plans to fight it,

Polis talked about two policies that he said most Democrats support.

The first was the DISCLOSE Act, a bill from 2010 that, if passed, would have, according to the bill itself, prohibited “foreign influence in elections . . . government contractors from making expenditures with respect to such elections and [established] additional disclosure agreements with respect to spending in such elections.”

The bill was passed by the House of Representatives 219206, but the Senate failed to pass it before Congress had recess.

He also said that most Democrats support establishing a law that would allow $50 that is donated by an individual to a political campaign to become a tax credit for that individual. Legislation similar to this already exists in 4 out of the 50 states: Oregon, Ohio, Virginia, and Arkansas.

Polis explained that both of these are meant to combat Citizens United v. Federal Election

Commission, a landmark 2010 Supreme Court case in which the Court ruled that unions and corporations are allowed to make private expenditures in political campaigns.

He also supports the idea of a constitutional amendment that would overturn Citizen’s United v. Federal Election Commission.

The congressman then moved the event forward by circling back around to Trump, but also to drive home a point about not voting third party as a “protest vote”. He asked the audience to tell their friends that are planning a protest vote to “actually look into [the] person and what they want and what they have said.”

“You’re never going to have candidates that you agree with on every single issue,” Polis said.

“You’ve got to support, at the end of the day, the person you trust to be President of the United States.”

ASCSU Senate briefs: new director of diversity, videographer positions

By Rachel Telljohn @racheltelljohm

New Director of Diversity and Inclusion for ASCSU Erin Vargas-Gutierrez was sworn in as the new Director of Diversity and Inclusion for Associated Students of Colorado State University by the senate Wednesday night.

Former Director of Diversity Marco Durazo stepped down from the position after being appointed last May. Gutierrez served as the deputy director of diversity while he was in the position.

Durazo said he was grateful for the opportunity to serve in the position and congratulated Gutierrez on her appointment.

“Being the director of diversity and inclusion was one of the most amazing experiences of my life,” Durazo said. “Social justice was always very important to me and being put into a position where I was constantly learning from the experiences ... of others was so enriching. Also, being under (ASCSU President) Daniela, who was constantly striving to improve the department and make our office more friendly, and welcoming was extraordinary.”

ASCSU President Daniela Pineda Soracá presented Gutierrez as the new director.

“Erin has knowledge on what

Marco’s vision was for (the department),” Pineda Soracá said in regard to the projects Durazo had intended for diversity within ASCSU. Durazo served as the director of diversity since May of 2016, but the position remained vacant for several months after his predecessor stepped down in February last semester.

There was no application process open for the position. “(An application process) would just delay everything we’re trying to do this semester,” Pineda Soracá said.

A question and answer session was open for the floor during the senate meeting but the senate asked few questions.

“I collaborate with a lot of different diversity offices,” Gutierrez said in response to a question about why she is qualified for the position.

After a blind vote Gutierrez was sworn in.

“The Department of Diversity and Inclusion’s current initiatives align with the Pineda Soracá/Lensky Administration platforms, and will continue to be implemented as a top priority throughout this administration’s entirety,” wrote Chrissy Vessa, ASCSU deputy chief of staff. “We appreciate the work that Mr. Durazo did on behalf of all students – he helped lay the foundation for this department and we are

thankful for that.”

Videographer positions created for ASCSU The Associated Students of Colorado State University created two new positions for professional videography specialists Wednesday night by a vote of 21-0 -0.

The positions are intended to provide better access to the student government’s resources for online students.

The organization, which allocates roughly $2.5 million in student fees each year, will spend $6,470 for video and audio equipment for the videography specialists to use.

The creation of the positions was the result of an agreement between CSU Online and ASCSU. ASCSU began receiving student fees from online students this semester. “(The videographers) will really act as a tool box to express what you’re working on,” said Chrissy Vessa, ASCSU deputy chief of staff, while addressing the senate body last Wednesday.

“I do believe that the creation of this videography unit would increase the transparency of the organization.”

Videographer specialists will be responsible for audiovisual documentation of senate sessions. A total of $6,470 is earmarked for the expenses associated with the new pro-

gram which include stipends and equipment.

Fees from CSU Online students are expected to amount to $41,755 in fiscal year 2017 and will increase to $83,510 in FY 2018.

Applicants for the position are required to be enrolled in one on-campus or CSU Online credit at CSU and in good standing with ASCSU and CSU at the time of appointment.

Videography specialists are responsible for using media techniques to present ASCSU’s objectives. They are required to contribute a minimum of 15 hours a week, two of which must be within the ASCSU Office.

The positions will be under the legislative branch and the speaker pro tempore.

“It’s about access for students,” said Edward Kendell, ASCSU speaker pro tempore and author of the bill last Wednesday. “We have to represent that population (of online students) and they need to know what we are doing with their money every day we come to work.”

Bill proposed to establish Speaker of the Senate A new piece of legislation was proposed Wednesday night that would create a new role for an elected official within ASCSU. Currently, the Vice President of ASCSU is required by the

constitution to oversee both the senate and the student fee review board. The bill would create a position, Speaker of the Senate, which would specifically oversee the senate.

“So that people that come later after us don’t have to go through the same kind of sleepless nights like we do,” said Edward Kendall, speaker pro tempore.

The gallery Wednesday night asked why a new role is necessary.

“We want to solidify that as something we value and respect,” Kendall said.

Kendall said that by having too strenuous jobs placed on the role of the vice president, historically, ASCSU has seen quality of life decrease. He said they want to see all members within the organization succeed.

Payment for the role of Speaker of the Senate is not specified in the current bill.

Kendall said it would likely pull from base funding into the payroll line. With an increase in student enrollment, and therefore an increase in funding, he was unconcerned about covering the cost.

The Speaker of the Senate will be elected by students on the same ticket as the President and Vice President of ASCSU. Rachel Telljohn can be reached at news@collegian.com

Colorado State University students’ creativity was challenged to create the best statue made entirely out of cans on Wednesday, Oct. 5 at the Lory Student Center Plaza.

The challenge was part of Canstruction, an annual competition where students, community members and faculty bring canned foods for the Cans Around the Oval fundraiser and create sculptures.

People and student groups who participated in Canstruction received points that will add to the overall food drive points

they may receive from Cans Around the Oval. Merchandise and trophies are given out to competition winners.

According to the Office for Student Leadership Involvement and Community Engagement (SLiCE) website, Canstruction’s purpose is to help raise awareness about hunger and raise food and money donations.

11 roads to close due to Homecoming parade

By Savannah Hoag @sav_hoag

A total of 11 roads will be closed on Friday due to the Colorado State University Homecoming parade.

This year the parade begins at 4:30 p.m. on the corner of Oak and Howes Streets. It will travel south on Howes Street where it will pass through the heart of campus, the Oval, and continue west to finish on Meridian Avenue.

Roads closed include: Howes Street – Mountain Avenue to Oak Street Oak Street – Between Sherwood and Howes Streets Laurel Street – From Meldrum Street to Mason Street University Avenue at West Drive The intersection of Meridian Avenue and Plum Street Olive, Magnolia, Mulberry and Myrtle Streets at Howes Street

Roads providing vehicle access to the Oval will be closed due to the parade. Those attending the parade, and any other Homecoming weekend events, are encouraged to utilize public transportation.

The Homecoming parade is a long-standing tradition unifying CSU students, alumni and the Fort Collins community as well as celebrating Ram pride. The parade and Homecoming theme for this year is “Capture Your Moment.” see PARADE on page 21 >>

>> HEALTHCARE from page 1 exciting if Colorado initiated the change throughout the country,” Liebenguth said.

If the amendment passes the system will cost the state about $25 billion in tax dollars, according to ColoradoCareYes. John Straayer, a professor in the CSU political science department, said the cost of ColoradoCare is an issue.

“The major problem is it’s a hard sell because it’s a terribly complicated measure,” Straayer said. “First of all, the price tag… is $2526 billion. That’s a lot of money.”

The tax revenue would be generated partly through an additional ten percent income tax collected by the state. Two-thirds of the tax would be paid by the employer while the remaining one-third would be paid by employees, according to BallotPedia.

Additionally, a 10 percent tax would be placed on non-payroll income, exempting revenue from the Colorado Taxpayer Bill of Rights. A premium tax would also be implemented to most income sources, from salaries, wages and tips, to any Social Security benefits, pension payments and annuities that are not authorized for the Colorado pension/annuity subtraction.

“The taxpayers in Colorado on tax issues … for the last several decades have just voted ‘no, no, no,’” Straayer said. “They don’t want to pay… Do they want to vote ‘yes’ for something [that’s] $25 billion? I don’t think so. So, I think that the price tag is a problem.”

Although the cost of ColoradoCare appears high to some opponents of the amendment, proponents of the amendment say the tax would save the state money.

“It would actually save our state about $4.5 billion because the amount we would be paying in taxes would replace the amount we’re currently spending,” said Mahira Ganster, a member of Rams for ColoradoCare.

While Straayer disagrees with the cost of the system, he said the significance of the issue on the ballot is important.

“We’ve got winds in two different directions on healthcare,” Straayer said.

“One of them is … that our healthcare system is a mess, and getting more and more expensive.

There are people falling through the cracks.”

How e ve r, Straayer said he believes the amendment will

fail due to the opposition’s belief that health care systems are socialistic.

“The opponents to this or to any single-payer healthcare system can appeal to that set of notions (of socialism) that’s been out there for so long,” Straayer said. “The wind, in that sense, blows against the success of something like this. (But) the problems (with the current system) and the cost of the existing system blow in favor of it.”

Marni Berg, a professor of Colorado State University’s Political Science department, opposes the amendment and does not think it will pass.

“It is a constitutional amendment, which I don’t understand,” Berg said.

“Why (is) our funding bill part of the Constitution?…

It would be one thing to have an amendment that healthcare is a basic right, but I don’t like having spending bills as part of

5

our constitution because then it’s hard to change anything ... The whole U.S. has for profit insurance companies for healthcare which I think is a huge problem.”

Stayyer said the system is complex and that he was unsure if it would work.

“Something like this I’m a bit ambivalent on it,” Staayer said. “I guess in my view I think it’s a bit complex, and a bit premature, but I do think it’s something that eventually has to come. I’m sympathetic to and in favor of the concept of a simplified and perhaps single-payer system, I’m just not sure this is the one, so I’m cross-pressured.”

Mail in ballots will be mailed to voters beginning Oct. 17. Voter registration will end at that time. Ballots are due by 7 p.m. Nov. 8.

Croskell: Why Fort Collins is so perfect for lovers Chapman Croskell

My first experience with Fort Collins was in a relationship.

I was dating a girl who started attending Colorado State, and my first time in the city was visiting her family for graduation. I started getting to know the town better as I would visit her to carry on our long-distance relationship. It didn’t take terribly long for me to fall in love with FoCo, and this was a major influence in my decision to choose CSU. One of my first big interactions with Old Town was on an anniversary. We had a lovely meal at Sonny Lubick Steakhouse, and then walked around for a while. It just so happens that our anniversary fell in December, which is when Old Town is prettiest, in my opinion. The lights strung across College Avenue, combined with the light snowfall, just added to the romance of the evening.

During my freshman year, I went on another romantic date in Old Town. We had dinner at Austin’s, dessert at the Chocolate Cafe and bought flowers

from a man in Old Town Square.

Not only was there so many options in Old Townfor our date, but being able to walk from campus was incredibly convenient.

Even coffee dates in Old Town in the middle of summer are romantic. Grabbing

an iced mocha from Mugs and goofing around in a thrift store is simply fun. I think that’s part of why Fort Collins is so perfect for dating — it’s hard to not have a good time with someone.

Simply put, Fort Collins is beautiful, and that’s a contributing factor to why it’s so

easy to be happy here. Campus is beautiful. Old Town is beautiful. Even City Park can be perfectly romantic when there’s no geese around. Being surrounded by beauty, whether with someone else or on your own, makes itdifficult to not enjoy yourself.

There’s also always something to do in town, especially around campus. No matter your ideal first date, there’s

something for everyone. From museums to food to activities, Fort Collins is full of ways to entertain a first, or twentieth, date.

Best of all, the people in Fort Collins make the experience all the better. Many restaurants and attractions are owned by locals, and there have been many times when that’s made my experiences all the more personal.

People love living here, and that makes the city a happier place to

live. Dating in a place where the locals love what they do beats going out somewhere where nobody will give you the time of day always.

Walking through Old Town, on a date or not, always makes me feel happy. And if there’s anything I want to share with someone else, it’s that.

Letter: Self-empowerment needed to navigate ‘flawed’ society

By Kathy Ayers Guest Author

Recent sexual assaults on two unconscious, college-aged women and the impossibly light sentences handed down to the young criminals are strong reminders of the powerlessness that today’s young women still experience.

Women my age have seen decades of vile behavior by male perpetrators, but what really twists my heart is when drunken young men, roughly the same age as the incapacitated women, commit these felonious acts.

I would love to be able to jump in and protect young women from damaged, self-entitled young men who lack even the most basic concern for how their actions might negatively impact the women’s psyches. I would also love for all young women to be infused with the self-knowledge and self-empowerment needed to navigate and flourish in this

flawed society of ours.

One place to start is to implore young women, before they attend their next party, to not drink to incapacitation.

Parties are among the last places on Earth at which they want to entrust their safety to drunken strangers.

Not that it is hard to understand their occasional desire to depart from reality. At 18, I would have benefited from this piece of advice before I entered the Colorado School of Mines in 1979. It was not always an environment conducive to a girl whose idea of fun was cocoa and fries at Burger King.

On campus, during freshman orientation week, my female suitemates and I were publicly judged at dinner in the cafeteria by men holding up numerical scorecards. I was also greeted in the living room of my own suite by a smiling guy who had our door combination and sat in a chair patting his legs,

NOPE When you are so busy you forget to eat.

That same week, we all participated in a school-spon-

I would tell her to cultivate it and exercise it however and wherever she can.” sored toga party, a beer-laden, swashbuckling event wherein we dressed in sheets like ancient emperors and sang from “The Miner Songbook,” which contained “songs which are not

meant to be offensive but are intended to be sung as good ol’ drinking songs.”

One of them went: “oh how are the girls in Chicago? They’re just like the girls in New York.

They’re willing and able, they’d like to have sable, but buy them a drink and they’re yours.”

I quickly discovered this was no place for the faint of heart.

By October, I too wanted a break from reality. On Halloween night I drank to near incapacitation for the first time and danced with a very tall, male pumpkin at a frat house packed with gyrating bodies. I remember marveling at the lack of feeling in my face. It felt like a gift from heaven to feel so little rather than so much.

Later, one of my suitemates took me back to our dorm. I couldn’t have located the front door of the fraternity house without her; something my young brain hadn’t thought of

when the night had begun.

Thinking about the assaults on today’s young women, I realize that could have been me or any one of my suitemates for that matter. I wish I could attend every party on every college campus across the country today and intervene. This entire society is no place for the faint of heart.

If I could reach back and speak with my 18-year-old self, I would remind her that personal power is the name of the game in life, so discover it and then hold onto it. I would tell her to cultivate it and exercise it however and wherever she can.

I would also ask her to hang onto that songbook. Thirty-five years into the future, it may help put a few things into perspective about her college years.

Outgoing and outspoken, Denny brings more to CSU volleyball beyond court

By Michael Roley @michael_roley

Cassidy Denny is easy to spot on the volleyball court. As the libero, she stands out as the one who wears the jersey that does not match the rest of the team.

But perhaps it is off the court where she stands out even more.

Of all the adjectives that could be used to describe Denny, quiet and shy do not qualify.

She is loud and she is outspoken. She speaks her mind, and will not hesitate to boldly state her stance on something. She is strong and articulate when she talks, and when she speaks about something she is passionate about, there is a whole lot of conviction behind it.

If you do not like what she says, or think it is a subject that a female student-athlete should not be discussing so openly, well, too bad.

Because, to be frank, Cassidy

Denny does not give a damn. She will be respectful, but will always remain true to herself and what she believes.

The Rams’ only senior has a personality as wide as the state of Texas, and brings enough energy wherever she goes to liven up the dullest of settings. She can talk just as passionately and intelligently about the number of issues that black females in this country face today, as she can about what she saw from her opponents’ attack during a recent match.

What you see is what you get with Denny. There is not much sugarcoating with her, and there is a lot of honesty in what she says. But perhaps most of all, there is even more heart in what she does.

In Sacramento, California, she was raised as an only-child by a single mother, Chantele, who Denny considers her best

friend. She claims to have had “third-child syndrome,” where the norm is to be loud and to catch someone’s attention. To become more immersed socially, her mom enrolled her in a number of activities spanning from horseback riding to modeling.

“I was always involved in something,” Denny said. “I was always doing volleyball camps or some sort of camp. My mom was always saying ‘you never had siblings, so to get you socialized so you weren’t a brat I put you in a bunch of after school stuff so you could play with other kids,’” she said with a laugh.

The amount of activities might have helped, but really, the outgoing personality has always been there.

When she was younger she loved being around people and had no problem striking up conversation with anybody who see VOLLEYBALL on page 10 >>

CSU soccer enters crucial weekend of conference matches

By Colton Strickler The Colorado State soccer team is coming off an up-anddown weekend.

After defeating Nevada 1-0 in double overtime to earn their first Mountain West victory in over a year, a confident Colorado State (3-8-1, 1-3-0 MW) team fell 2-0 at the hands of UNLV, the current top dog in the conference, on Sunday.

As they have done with so many other teams this season, the Rams went toe-to-toe with the best team in the Mountain West after beating the Wolfpack out right. Despite splitting the weekend series, Colorado State outshot their opponents 31-19.

“Obviously we are creating more chances,” head coach Bill Hempen said on Wednesday.

“Generating more opportunities certainly enhances our chances of sneaking one in.”

The Rams are generating opportunities at the perfect time.

Only four games into conference play, the Rams are only one con-

ference game back from both Colorado College (6-6-0, 2-2-0 MW) and Air Force (6-4-1, 2-20 MW), their upcoming opponents heading into the weekend.

The two-game series this weekend will be the second of back-to-back home games for Colorado State, a rare occurrence in conference play, and the perfect chance for the Rams to get back in the swing of things in the Mountain West.

“As we navigate this conference, it seems as though everyone is beating everybody else,” Hempen said. “It’s not like, ‘oh they beat them so that must mean we can beat them’ or something like that. We’re certainly not taking anything for granted here knowing that every game in the conference is knock down drag out for sure.”

The Rams will face Colorado College on Friday and Hempen knows that the key to Friday’s game is to rattle the opponent.

“In Colorado College we face a very technical team that relies on their technical ability and their tactical awareness,” he said.

“I think that will be a challenge for us to kind of get them out of their comfort zone from a defensive standpoint and if their is a weakness, try to attack the weakness as quickly as we can.”

Despite starting against Utah State and Nevada on Sep. 23 and 25, this weekend’s series will be junior goalkeeper Paige Brandt’s second weekend in net as the full-time starter. Brandt earned her first victory of the season as a keeper in the Rams’ 1-0 double overtime victory over Nevada.

“She’s done a good job,” Hempen said of Brandt. “She has not been a factor in losing and has been a factor in winning.”

Last weekend’s slate of games marked the halfway point of the season. While the first half of the season did not go as planned for the Rams, they are beginning to turn it on with the final seven games in their crosshairs.

“I’m continuously reminded about the process that it takes even though, as a coach, you want it to happen a whole lot quicker,” Hempen said. “When reminded

>> VOLLEYBALL from page 3 would listen.

“She has never been reserved,” Chantele said. “She has always been very outgoing and very happy. She has always loved people and would just be happy with anybody. She would talk to anybody when she was a kid.”

Having a voice Like almost every teenager, Denny put up a bit of a wall during high school, her mom said. But she has broken, maybe even smashed that wall, while at CSU and has become very comfortable with who she is and what she believes in.

Perhaps this is most evident when she talks about her perspective as a black female living in this country right now.

She frequently shares content on social media about America’s current race relations and the issues they present. She has no qualms discussing these issues in her daily life.

As a student-athlete, or even a student in general, it might be easy to lay-low and not speak out on contentious issues. But not for Denny. The position she is in and the platform she has to invoke change and start conversations is just too important.

“Being a black female, it is important to have a voice because a lot of times we are not given one and we are not allowed the space to have one,” Denny said. “Being a student-athlete, we are on a platform where other students look

to us as role models. Having a platform to speak about these issues is really cool for me and that is one of the reasons why I take advantage of it.”

Not surprisingly, she has encountered some resistance from people who disagree with her points of view and some who think she needs to pipe down,.But she stays respectful and observant of differing perspectives.

“I think it just comes from people who do not understand or do not want to understand,” Denny said. “Or someone with a different mentality than me who maybe does not see my side because they were raised differently, or they just have a different perspective on the world, which is fine. I’ve been told I’m too outspoken or too loud. It’s mostly like ‘You are too loud for a girl.’”

And for those who think she is too loud for a girl, does she care?

“No, not at all,” she said with a grin. “If people think that, then that is what they will think and I can’t really change that.”

The road to Fort Collins was an interesting yet obvious one for Denny. There were a lot of parallels between Sacramento and Fort Collins, Denny said and Chantele said that Denny was a high school senior who was eager to get out of state.

Volleyball obviously played a major part as well. Interestingly enough, Denny joined the team as a walk-on her fresh-

man year, not on scholarship.

But she worked her way into the rotation during the second week of the season and made 17 starts as a freshman. Fair to say, she was promptly put on scholarship the next semester.

The lure of Fort Collins also worked its charm. In the end, it seemed like a straightforward decision, even if that meant having to live a distance away from her best friend.

“I knew the minute we pulled into town that’s where she would want to go,” Chantele said. “She eventually went there, it was hard being further away…You’re never going to cut the strings of that relationship, but you do need to find a level of independence. She was so adamant about moving far away that when she got away it gave her a perspective about how much she appreciated home and family.”

‘Team Mom’ and an unbreakable bond On the court, Denny’s job is to anchor the backrow of the defense as the libero. And as the lone senior on this year’s team, she is also the undeniable leader. But that role, for Denny, involves a bit more than just pointing out the tendencies of opposing hitters to the other players.

Being the senior on a team with six true freshman, she affectionately assumed the title of “Team Mom” during the summer because she would do things like remind everyone to keep the locker room tidy.

of where we are we’re probably in a good spot for the growth of the program. From a coaching standpoint, we’re far away from where I want to be. We’re trying to get to that middle ground right now as quickly as we can so that instead of talking about winning we are actually doing some winning.”

The Rams will continue their home stand on Friday with an “orange out” against Colorado College at 3 p.m. at The Lagoon.

Collegian assistant sports editor Colton Strickler can be reached by email at sports@collegian.com or on Twitter @coltonstrickler

But for some time prior to that, she served in a mom-like role for her closest friend on the team and roommate, Jasmine Hanna.

“I’ve always been Jaz’s mom,” Denny insisted. “The only time I’m not is at home because Jasmine cleans and does my laundry. Other than that I’m pretty much mom.”

“She’s mom to a lot of people too,” Hanna said. “But definitely to me, she gets me up for practice.”

The friendship between those two is truly one-of-akind. They are clearly on the same page. They can retell a story together with each of them chiming in details at exactly the right time.

And they have each other’s backs. While exiting the sometimes hazardous Hughes Stadium parking lot together after the football game last Saturday, an anxious driver was trying to impatiently squeeze their way into the lane where Hanna was driving. Of course they did not let the driver come over without waiting their turn, and the other driver was not thrilled about this. Words were exchanged and, luckily, there was no real altercation. If there had been, Denny and Hanna would have been in it together.

Hanna’s personality is the polar opposite of Denny’s, though. She is quiet, reserved, and more closely guarded. Denny is one of the few people she has really connected with and opened up to.

“I’m not a super-open person,” Hanna said. “I like everybody and I’ll talk to everybody, but I don’t open up to a lot of people. I’ve always been kind of closed off and very businesslike. Having somebody that I can open up to and knows things about me that a lot of other people don’t know is comforting.”

They may be different in how they express themselves, but both Denny and Hanna come from practically the exact same backgrounds, which formed an instant friendship.

“We come from very similar backgrounds,” Hanna said.

“I had siblings and she was an only-child but I think that’s the only difference. Our moms are similar, we were raised the same way. We get each other’s perspectives, Cassidy’s just a little louder in voicing it.”

Denny’s volleyball career is eventually going to come to a close at the end of this season, but she has big plans for the future. After graduation she has a keen interest in traveling wherever she can go. And not surprisingly, she is considering becoming a lobbyist in the foster care and human sex trafficking sectors.

A pathway that seems fitting for a well-spoken individual with a great passion for advocating change.

Fritzler’s Maze offers endless fall possibilities

By Ashley Potts @11smashley

Fall is a farm’s favorite season. The seeds that were planted months ago finally come to fruition, and the barren ground explodes with greens, yellows and oranges as far as the eye can see. Pumpkins, gourds, squashes and corn are waiting to be feasted on. But, before Glen Fritzler harvests his hard work, he has a little fun.

Fritzler’s Corn Maze puts the full month of October to good use. The maze is located in La Salle, Colorado, which is just a 45 minute drive from the Colorado State University campus.

This year’s maze celebrates the Denver Bronco’s Super-Bowl 50 win. The maze depicts Peyton Manning, Von Miller and Demaryius Thomas along with the Super Bowl 50 logo. The design is meant to make maze-goers feel even more like champions for finding the way out.

“We use grid paper,” said Glen Fritzler, co-owner of the farm. “We plan our corn maze to match our grid paper, and then we go in there by hand and cut it out. My dad and I do it. It takes us about five days.”

Once through the maze, there are a number of other events to explore while waiting for the scares that come with sun down. These include picking pumpkins in the seven acre pumpkin patch, watching live

pig races, jumping on a giant inflatable pillow, go-karting and shooting pumpkins out of canons.

When the sun goes down, the scary part of the fun comes out to play. “Phase 2” of the maze and “Scream Acres” are filled with scary characters, props and special effects meant to send visitors home screaming. This year’s theme is undead zombies.

There is also an old-western style ghost haunted house, a zombie slayer paint-ball bus and an escape room called Al-corn-traz.

The fall fun doesn’t stop there. Fritzler’s also has their own beer garden, Fritzler’s Hop House, which will host several events alongside the regular attractions.

On Oct. 8, Fritzler’s Hop House will put on The Great American Pumpkin Festival.

They will be the Colorado exclusive vendor for eight specialty pumpkin beers from Elysian Brewing Company. Craft breweries will also showcase other pumpkin specials. This day will feature live music from the bands Swerve and Big Thompson Flood.

On Oct. 15 and 22, Fritzler’s Hop House will have pint nights with local brewers Wiley Roots and City Star Brewery. These events will host tastings of beers and free “swag.”

CSU students respond: Why are we afraid of clowns?

By Matthew Smith @latvatalo

Chalk white face paint, big red, diamond eyes, a bright red nose, funny over-sized shoes and rivulets of blood dripping from a mouth of jagged yellow teeth.

Everyone recognizes the image of the scary clown. We see them in horror movies, at our front doors on Halloween, on the news and it is even rumored that you can see them in the bushes outside the Durrell Center.

Scary clowns have been popping up and alarming police departments all across the country. Just last week a local high school received a scary clown related threat, and it was not the only school that has had to take extra safety measures in recent weeks.

It is safe to say the nation is gripped with clown mania, but why is the image of a children’s entertainer now associated with murderous psychopaths? In light of the upcoming “It” remake and recent headlines, here is what CSU students had to say on the matter: Creepy appearance and demeanor The way a clown acts was repeatedly mentioned as a contributing factor to a clown’s creepiness.

“It’s creepy how they act, how they portray themselves,” Julie Boyd said.

For some, there remains a definite distinction between the innocent performer and the horror mainstay.

“They can be spun off as creepy,” Eric Smith said. “A standard clown, no. But, the people who intend to be creepy with clowns, yes.”

Many students said the fear of clowns developed at a young age. “(I) went to the circus for the first time and got picked out in the crowd,” Ashton Burne said.”A clown came up to me and freaked me out. It’s weird when you’re a kid seeing someone with all that makeup.”

Kimberly Cook said she is terrified that a clown will jump

out at her as she walks home at night.

“I walk back from my sorority house every night and I shouldn’t be scared to get back to my dorm,” Cook said. “I know there’s been one here, and I know someone got followed into Corbett last night.”

The Movie “It” Duran said she is especially afraid of Pennywise the dancing clown.

“He’s a kid killer from the movie It,” Gabriela Duran said.

Yes, “It” the horror classic blamed as the source of many students’ clown phobias. The movie piggybacked off the successes of other classic masked villains, such as Jason Vorhees from “Friday the 13th” and Michael Meyers from “Halloween.”

After “It” was released, clown masks became a hot ticket item in costume shops, sold alongside zombie and werewolf faces.

No one even knew he was a serial killer with over 30 victims for until he was caught.

And, herein lies a clown’s

With the “It” remake scheduled for release next September, one cannot help but wonder if all this clown hysteria in the news is actually an elaborate hoax; a guerrilla marketing ploy to drum up hype.

The production company behind the movie, New Line, has repeatedly denied any involvement. But, what cannot be denied is that coulrophobia, the fear of clowns, is entrenched in American culture. News and entertainment media have taught us to be afraid of overtly friendly strangers in masks, probably for the better.

Masked Identity Insane clowns in the news is not a recent occurrence. Palen Stream referenced John Wayne Gacy when describing the fear of clowns.

“He killed people,” Stream said.

Gacy masqueraded as Pogo

There is no shortage of fun to be had at Fritzler’s, day or night, young or old. Tickets will usually run a college student $25. This price includes the non-scary Phase 1 part of the maze, the Phase 2 part of the maze, Scream Acres and a turn at most of the farms games. The paintball Zombie Slayer games

can be included for an extra $20.

There are also options to pay for most things individually. VIP tickets that allow you to skip the lines are also available, as well as season passes.

Fritzler’s offers a number of discounts for students, seniors and military personnel.

They also offer a few dollars off

most prominent creep-factor as described by most students: unknown identity Anyone can put on a mask and some makeup and attract a crowd of kids at the

playground. To some, the costume is just an attempt at hiding the monster underneath.

“I just don’t like how you can’t see a person’s entire face,” Emma Ingram said. “That freaks me out.”

Duran said she hates disguises.

“I just don’t like people in costumes,” Duran said. “I’m scared of people in mascot costumes too.”

The rogue creeps we see on Twitter today are part of a wider phenomenon called phantom clowns, which sometimes pops up during the Halloween season. By the beginning of November, CSU students can likely be assured that they will not be threatened by clowns for at least another year. Until then, try to keep your distance from any odd Bozos or Pennywises.

Local band Holdfast. climbing up the music mountain

By Emma Iannacone @EmmaIannacone

Local band Holdfast. has been making it’s way through the Fort Collins music community after releasing their debut single earlier this week. This alternative rock band rose to popularity this past summer after performing at the music festival FoCo MX. They have booked shows at the Downtown Artery, Syntax Distillery and Nixon’s Rocky Mountain Smokehouse over the past few months.

The members, Tommy, Charlie and Mikey Maddocks, formed the band in 2011 after Charlie received a drum set for his birthday. While Charlie may have been the recipient of the drums, Tommy took kindly to drumming while Charlie preferred the guitar.

“Within ten to fifteen minutes, I was playing the drum set,” Tommy Maddocks said.

They encouraged Mikey to learn the bass and with that, the rock trio began.

Holdfast. is a family-based band based out of Windsor, Colorado. Living close and growing up together has helped the band to create a unique sound of their own.

Music is in the boys genetics; their uncles and aunt were in a local folk rock band called Paean. They played regularly in Fort Collins and were even one of the first bands to play at FoCo MX. “They are the reason we enjoyed music in the first place,” Charlie Maddocks said.

However, Holdfast. stands alone as a band rather than in the shadow of their predecessors.

The band members may be young, but that has not stopped them from making headway in the Fort Collins music industry.

Holdfast. has been busy this summer and not just with live performances. They have also started recording songs at the Artery’s recording studio, Hope and Arrows.

The band hopes to release a three song EP later this year. Their first song to be recorded and distribut-

ed, “Because of You,” reflects the band’s personality and novelty of their music. It was released on Tuesday, Oct. 4, along with a lyric video created from a drawing by Charlie Maddocks.

Even though they did not spend much time recording at Hope and Arrows, but it struck a cord with the group.

“These guys were a blast to work with, even if it was only for two days,” Charlie Maddocks said.

“It was so fun recording with them.”

Their debut song, “Because of You,” is about bullying and is based on experiences Charlie Maddocks witnessed throughout middle school. The song is one they have been revising and reworking into something that “other people can sing along with,” according to Charlie Maddocks.

It reflects the everyday challenges many people face, including insecurities, tormenting and gaining acceptance from peers. The loud, honest rock style of the song reflects the band’s character and is

sure to drum up attention.

Each song Holdfast. performs is an original written by the group.

Charlie tends to write the lyrics and then the band jams until solidifying it into a song. They have a total of 20 original songs that they rotate through when playing live.

While they have many original songs, they also enjoy playing covers.

“Our favorite song to cover has

been “Don’t Let Me Down” by The Beatles,” Charlie Maddocks said.

“Because of You” can be found on Soundcloud and will be available on all other major music platforms.

Holdfast. will be playing an all-ages set at the Surfside 7 bar on Oct. 16 with other local band Places Back Home.

Lyric Movie Review:

Experience early days of The Beatles with “Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years”

By Megan Hanner @meganhanner48

Ron Howard’s recently released documentary, “Eight Days a Week-The Touring Years,” provides a new look into the early fame and success of The Beatles.

The two-hour long documentary includes rare concert and interview footage that immerses fans inside the world of The Beatles from the years 1962 to 1966, and is a must-see, not just for Beatles fans, but for anyone that is even a little interested in their careers.

“Eight Days a Week-The Touring Years” offers a look into how The Beatles began, their lives on tour and their studio recording process. It seeks to reveal the evolution of their career.

The concert footage is undoubtedly what makes this film most enjoyable to watch. The world was crazed with “Beatle-

mania,” and this phenomenon clearly shows. Images of screaming, crying and fainting girls are non-stop throughout the film.

The amazing restoration of the footage and photos brings this musical experience to life.

The film put together different forms of media to show the personalities of the young Beatles. Interviews conducted during the time show The Beatles’ humor and quirky nature with the press. Audio recordings of the band’s time in the recording studio bring the audience into the studio with the band. Newspaper excerpts and radio talk show clips also work to transport fans to the era of The Beatles. Footage from early TV appearances let the audience see how The Beatles exploded into the spotlight both in the U.S. and abroad.

The interviews in the film give the audience personal accounts from people directly in-

volved with The Beatles, as well as from current celebrities that experienced their concerts at the time. Some notable interviewees included Whoopi Goldberg, Sigourney Weaver, and Elvis Costello , as well as Larry Kane, a news journalist that had the opportunity to travel alongside The Beatles on tour in the ‘60s.

Of course, the movie included interviews from the surviving band members themselves.

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr provided insight to how the band met and the struggles of the young Beatles. McCartney and Starr also spoke about how they wrote their music and recorded it in studio. Older interviews with John Lennon and George Harrison provided their perspective on the time in their early careers as well.

The documentary also covers the controversial moments of The Beatles that many modsee MOVIE on page 17 >>

Alec Reviews Music: Bob Weir goes Americana in ‘Blue Mountain’

By Alec Ericson @CTV_Ace

To have a career that spans more than five decades, several genres and multiple projects is no easy feat for anyone. Bob Weir is one of the few musicians who has done just that.

You most likely recognize him as one of the rhythm guitarists and vocalists for the iconic band Grateful Dead or from some of his other side projects with Ratdog, Furthur and Dead & Company. With “Blue Mountain,” his first solo album in almost 40 years, we see Weir branch into new territory.

Not counting the impressive 140 albums that the Grateful Dead has put out, Weir has also worked on an additional 13 albums. Nevertheless, he has not been short on material to write for with his newest release.

Mostly inspired by his time as a ranch hand in Wyoming, “Blue Mountain” shows Weir branching out to a new subset of music for his already vast career. Officially labeled in the rock genre, we actually see more folk and Americana elements. We get more of a cowboy feel to this re-

>> MOVIE from page 16 of The Beatles that many modern fans may not be aware of. The movie highlights the backlash the band faced over the desegregation of their shows during the time of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. One controversial interview also earned them mass backlash from fans. The movie emotionally brings these moments to light using interviews and footage from the time.

Watching The Beatles quite literally take over the world is invigorating. Australia, Italy, France, Japan and China are only some of the counties that The Beatles visited during these touring years. The movie includes concert footage at all of these places.

The only thing that the audience must be prepared for is how long the movie is.

However, the documentary is very easy to stay focused on, and invests the audience in the story of the early careers of The Beatles during the first couple of minutes.

Final Score: 4/5

cord, and it is meant to be treated as such. It is meant to be a wise and long awaited career switching album, and that is exactly how it comes across.

“Blue Mountain” is a 12 track record that clocks out to be around 52 minutes long. The main thing about this record is that the music reflects and accompanies the subject matter.

It is very country and western inspired. From front to back, this record is an allusion to a much wider and deeper story than you would initially perceive.

Weir has always been more of an emotional songwriter, and “Blue Mountain” is no exception. Weir takesyou on a journey of past regrets, love, growing old and confronting mortality. This record manages to accomplish being diverse, but at times, may be a bit too folksy.

Musically, as primarily a rhythm guitar player, Bob Weir has always had a much wider complexity with his music than most. We see some of his strongest works on “Blue Mountain” in tracks like “Darkest Hour” and “Lay My Lilly Down.” On the other hand, we see some musically simple four chord folk music too,

primarily in tracks like “Only a River” and “Ki-Yi Bossie.” While they are arguably some of the more standout tracks, they also are some of the simplest. Some tracks are catchy and easy to tap your foot along to with rhythm being the most important driving structure for each track. But, you will not find any of these tracks being played at any party anytime soon because they are a little slower and darker.

Lyrically “Blue Mountain” is a wide open plain for Weir to farm. The album is driven and inspired by his time in Wyoming as a young man, and we see much of those experiences reflected in his songwriting. While we see songs about young love and Mormon girls, we also find many more self-reflective tracks like “Gonesville” and “Darkest Hour,” both of which are Weir looking back on his life in either remorse or sympathy for the man he once was.

There are some of his old hippie influences in this record as well. You really do not have to listen long, but Weir references all of this in “Ki-Yi Bossie” and “Blue Mountain.” While listening to this record, you may get

“Eight Days a Week- The Touring Years” pulls the viewer into their lives and keeps them there with its use of multiple types of media, rare footage and emotional appeal. The documentary beautifully leads the audience to fully understand why The Beatles, one of the biggest bands of all time, decid-

ed to stop touring after this period of time.

“Eight Days a Week- The Touring Years” will be playing at the Lyric Cinema Café until Oct 13. Also, stick around until the end of the credits. Just do it. It’s worth the extra time.

overwhelmed by the sense of age and wisdom that Weir brings to the table. You do not always get these tracks from aging rock stars, and it is a refreshing take for sure.

Final Score: 4/5 “Blue Mountain” is some of Bob Weir’s best solo work in decades. However, be warned, if you were looking for rock from one of the genre’s biggest stars, this is not the record for you. This record is

Seriously: Four breathtaking places to go missing in Sean Kennedy @seanskenn

With all the stress of school and work coming to a head this time of year, it is only natural to want to escape from it all for a little while... or permanently! Weekend retreats can be nice, but they are not quite long enough to clear the stain of your coworkers’ stupid faces from your mind’s eye before Monday morning. Plus, when you return, everyone is too busy talking about their stupid weekend plans to notice how much cooler and spiritual you have become from yours.

Fortunately, we here at Seriously know that no true adventure is complete without the threat of abduction, and that being subject to a good kidnapping will finally provide you with the kind of self-serving martyrdom that will assure that your coworkers will never forget just how adventurous and unique you are... or were. Why settle for a getaway when you can get away... forever? Here are four breathtaking places to go missing in.

1. The Grand Tetons The Teton Mountains are a picturesque majesty of nature and make for a spectacular escape from urban life and living in general. Lose yourself in the total immensity of their snow-covered peaks, the great vastness of their many forests and the ominous darkness of a local rancher’s suspicious-looking shed. Remember—in the mountains, no one can hear you scream.

2. Sonoran Desert For a sunnier escape from things, check out the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, where the only thing more colorful than its flora and rock formations are the many characters you will meet along the way. Strike up a conversation and learn more about desert geology. Observe the many types of cacti in the region. Befriend a “totally open-minded” border patrol agent named Rocky who’s

only “colorblind” in the sense that he’ll victimize people of any race. Remember to bring some sunscreen!

3. Cleveland This bustling northeastern metropolis is not exactly known for its sights, but what Cleveland may lack in visual beauty, it makes up for in plenty of ways to find escape in this magnificent city. Be it at a park, in an alley or in the trunk of an unmarked car, you will lose yourself so fast in the many sights and sounds (or lack thereof ) that you will forget to be thankful for finally getting the hell out of Cleveland.

This northern wonderland has it all: towering, snowy peaks, lush, sprawling woods and pure, picturesque lakes. Once you have had your fill of the Canadian wilderness, journey into town to get a taste of that legendary Canadian hospitality. Indulge yourself in the culture until the locals get a little too friendly... and then really too friendly... until you mysteriously disappear after a spirited syrup-drinking contest and discover that Canadians are not actually that nice after all.

Hurricane Matthew heads toward the US after leaving a trail of destruction in Cuba

By Kate Linthicum and Josue Lopez Tribune News Service

Hurricane Matthew hurtled toward the United States on Wednesday after battering Cuba with torrential rains and 145 mph winds.

No deaths were reported in Cuba, even after a massive storm surge with waves as high as 26 feet toppled apartment buildings and washed out bridges on the island’s northern coast. More than 1 million Cubans were evacuated from their homes, according to state-run television channel Cubavision.

The hardest hit region was Baracoa, a municipality of 80,000 near the eastern tip of Cuba, whose streets on Wednesday were littered with bricks, mattresses and other muddy debris. High winds and massive waves stripped away rooftops, knocked out power and cut off roads to the city overnight.

A major bridge used to access the region was washed out, and several coastal highways were blocked by boulders thrust ashore by the tempestuous sea.

For all the destruction, there could have been much more.

Forecasters thought the hurricane might hit Santiago de Cuba, the island’s second-biggest city.

But it changed course, traveling up Cuba’s sparsely populated eastern coast and sidestepping major population centers.

Haiti and the Dominican Republic, where the storm hit Monday night, were not so lucky.

The Category 4 hurricane, deemed the most powerful Caribbean storm in nearly a decade, killed at least five people in Haiti and four more in neighboring

Dominican Republic. There also were reports of one person killed in Colombia and another on the island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

With schools, roads and bridges destroyed and at least 10,000 people displaced from their homes in the island’s south, “Haiti is facing the largest humanitarian event witnessed since the earthquake six years ago,” said United Nations official Mourad Wahba.

Many in Haiti have been living in tents and other makeshift shelters since the earthquake in 2010. The country has been in political crisis and without an elected president since 2015, when the last round of elections were declared fraudulent by several front-runners.

Haiti was planning to hold a new presidential election Sunday. But with schools and other polling places being used as emergency shelters, Haiti’s government decided to postpone the vote.

The U.S. government said it has sent experts to Haiti to assess the damage and will provide $1.5 million in food and disaster assistance.

A team of about 200 U.S. military personnel and nine helicopters have been sent to Haiti to support disaster relief operations at the request of the Haitian government, said Adm. Kurt Tidd, commander at U.S. Southern Command, which oversees military operations in the Caribbean and Central and South America.

After pummeling Haiti and Cuba, the hurricane was headed for the Bahamas on Wednesday, where residents and tourists in

Kaine and Pence draw 37 million viewers, the smallest audience for a vice presidential debate since 2000

By Stephen Battaglio Tribune News Service

The lone showdown between Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia attracted an average audience of 37 million viewers Tuesday, making it the smallest audience for a vice presidential debate since 2000.

The total for the four major broadcast networks, PBS and four cable news channels that reported data comes to 37 million viewers. An official total will be issued by Nielsen later Wednesday.

Pence, the running mate of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, and Tim Kaine, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s number two, were not expected to be the

Officials in the U.S. urged millions of people to evacuate the southeastern coast of the country and said the hurricane threatened to hit as soon as Thursday.

“It you’re able to go early, leave now,” Florida Gov. Rick Scott warned coastal residents in his state.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley also gave evacuation orders for several coastal counties.

Meteorologists said the storm could hit Florida late Thursday and leave a path of destruction up the East Coast over the weekend.

President Barack Obama urged residents of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North

same ratings draw as the top of the ticket.

The Sept. 26 meeting between Trump and Clinton had an average audience of 84 million viewers, a record for a presidential debate.

The most-watched vice presidential debate ever was between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin during the 2008 campaign, which had an average audience of 69.9 million viewers.

Based on the early data, Kaine vs. Pence is down about 28 percent from the 2012 vice presidential debate when 51.4 million viewers watched Biden face off against his Republican challenger, Rep. D. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. The last vice presidential debate to score under 40 million viewers was the

Carolina to prepare to evacuate even if they don’t expect it to be necessary, calling Matthew a “serious storm” as he met with officials at Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Washington on Wednesday.

“If there is an evacuation order in your community, you need to take it seriously,” Obama told reporters after meeting with officials at FEMA. “Even if you don’t get the full force of the hurricane, we are still going to be seeing tropical force winds, the potential for a storm surge, and all of that could have a devastating effect.

“This is something to take seriously,” Obama added. “We hope for the best, but we want to prepare for the worst.”

meeting between Republican Dick Cheney and Democrat Joe Lieberman in 2000, which had 29 million viewers.

NBC had the largest audience for Tuesday’s debate with 7.02 million viewers. CBS was second with 6.46 million, followed by ABC (6.14 million), the Fox broadcast network (2.2 million), and PBS (1.47 million).

On cable, Fox News Channel led with 6.08 million viewers, followed by CNN (4.16 milion), MSNBC (3.12 million) and Fox Business Network (392,000).

In Cuba, government officials credited widespread evacuations before the storm with saving lives.

The country developed a sophisticated hurricane response system in the wake of Hurricane Flora, a 1963 storm that killed 1,750 people on the island. The system includes standing evacuation plans for every household and frequent drills. When a big storm like Matthew approaches, people whose homes are at risk are evacuated to shelters, while others move in with friends or neighbors who live in safer structures.

Helpware: The upsides of scaling Sierra

By Harold Glicken Even though I’m a certified upgrade freak, I sometimes wonder if downloading the latest, greatest versions of operating systems and software _ and consequently needing to relearn them is really worthwhile.

I was, after all, pretty satisfied with the first version of OS X for the Mac. But in the years since its release, Apple has regularly come out with operating system upgrades, the latest of which is the all-too-tempting macOS Sierra.

It’s available free of charge.

Mac users need only go to the App Store, sign in with their Apple ID and download away.

Face it, those of us who have iMacs, iPhones, Watches, Apple TVs and MacBooks are living in Apple’s world, where all devices are integrated and due for updates on a regular basis. I speak from experience, owning all of them.

So, what do you get for free?

I’ll focus on just a few high points.

Macs running Sierra gain Siri, Apple’s voice-controlled assistant. Just click on the Siri icon (or the command and space keys) and start asking her questions.

It’s a nice feature, allowing you to summon Siri without switching devices. When housed on your laptop, Siri will not only tell you how tall the Empire State Building is but she’ll also quickly find files. I asked Siri to find documents named “column,” and a whole bunch quickly filled the Siri window on my screen.

That said, if you generally keep your iPhone handy while using your MacBook, you can just keep calling on Siri in the traditional manner.

If Siri were the only new feature brought to the table by Sierra, I’d say don’t bother. But there

>> CANSTRUCTION from page 4 community,” Andrues said. “It shows that the food drive is happening.”

Canstruction happens at CSU in order for students to get involved and engage in the food drive, Andrues said.

This year some of the statues that were made from the cans were a canned robot, the ‘A’, Hughes Stadium, part of the new stadium that is in progress, the two towers on CSU’s campus (Westfall and Durward halls), the CSU ram logo, CSU’s mascot Cam and a football (just to name a few).

The cans that are used in Canstruction and collected from Cans Around the Oval are donated to the Larimer County Food

Bank.

The Larmier County Food Bank provides food to nearly 36,000 people every year.

“Our mission is to provide food to all in need through community partnerships and hunger-relief programs,” reads the food bank’s website.

Last year the food drive collected 60,364 pounds of food and $57,030, according to the Cans Around the Oval website.

Every dollar donated equals five pounds of food meaning that the food and money collected are combined to equal 345,514 pounds of food donated in the Cans Around the Oval food drive in 2015.

The overall winner of the food drive in 2015 was the Col-

lege of Business with 57,555 pounds of food. Outside of CSU, Rocky Mountain High School came in first in the community schools category and second overall with 37,138 pounds of food donated in the drive.

SLiCE has coordinated the event every year for 30 years.

Alyssa Smith, a member of the sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma, participated in Canstruction for the first time. Smith said she decided to participate this year to get involved with homecoming and help Cans Around the Oval.

“Canstruction is really important to me,” Smith said. “We worked really hard to contribute and earn cans.”

And you’ll have to find a website that accepts Apple Pay. Apple, by the way, says thousands of sites soon will. If Apple ever comes up with a touch screen for the Mac, it probably will include a fingerprint reader, which would allow you to authorize a transaction without having to use your iPhone to do it.

I’ll be taking Sierra and its mobile devices’ cousin, iOS 10, through their paces and will report on my findings in future columns. So far, I like what I see. If you’re running OS X Lion or later, you might want to upgrade to Sierra and see for yourself.

WHAT DO I DO IF I ENCOUNTER SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE BROKEN ON CAMPUS? Now and again something goes awry with the many operations that usually keep the CSU campus running smoothly. Seeing a broken sprinkler head that is spraying water like a geyser, a sink that will not stop running, or a paper towel dispenser that spews out a whole tree’s worth of paper each time someone waves their hand in front of it can be merely a proverbial bug on the windshield of someone’s busy day. But, these things end up mattering when their costs rack up—and the Facilities Department wants to know about them. Though you may be aware that CSU Police has a dispatch, did you know that Facilities has one too that is intended for reporting exactly these types of problems? Call 970-491-0077 in order to reach their dispatch if you see something that might be out of whack. Not only will you help things get repaired faster but you also will be helping the University save on energy or water that is being wasted by the thing that is broken.

WHAT IS THE BOHEMIAN FOUNDATION? The Bohemian Foundation is a Fort Collins-based grantmaking organization founded in 2001 by Pat Stryker, a businessperson and philanthropist who inherited money from the medical equipment supplier founded by her grandfather, Stryker Corp. Homer Stryker is credited with inventing the modern hospital bed; Pat Stryker has a net worth of about $2.7 billion and is listed as 33rd richest in the world on the women-only Forbes 400 list. The Bohemian Foundation is known in Fort Collins as the founder of many music and youth programs including the free summer concert event Bohemian Nights at NewWestFest.

In January 2016 several groups and centers at CSU received a combined total of $45,000 from the foundation’s Pharos Fund whichsupports nonprofits with programs for public awareness and supporting youth, and has awarded more than $13.5 million in grants since 2001. The groups which received money were the Little Shop of Physics, Campus Connections and the Center for Public Deliberation.

The Bohemian Foundation has a history of giving to CSU; in 2004 the University received $20 million from the foundation, which was the largest cash gift the University had received in its history to date (which has since been topped in 2015 by the $42.5 million given by John and Leslie Malone to create a new center for the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences). Roughly $5 million from the gift in 2004 was intended to support the University Center for the Arts, while about $15 million was donated to enhance and renovate Hughes Stadium, according to a CSU press release. The groups that were funded this year had also been funded previously; the Little Shop of Physics is in its fifth year of funding by the Pharos Fund and the Center of Public Deliberation is in its ninth year.

This list is not exhaustive but merely exemplary of the philanthropy of the Bohemian Foundation and of Pat Stryker, whose billions make her one of Fort Collins’ most well-known residents.
