By Collegian Editorial Board @CSUCollegian
At this point in the 2016 election cycle, it is no longer a difficult question which candidate the Collegian Editorial Board will endorse for President — we endorse Hillary Clinton for President of the United States of America. The editorial board strongly believes Hillary Clinton is the only candidate this year who has the ability, both in personality and qualifications, to become the president. In writing this, though, we acknowledge that Clinton is far from a perfect candidate. Hillary Clinton has been in politics for more than 25 years, since before she became the First Lady of President Bill
Clinton. Over that time, she has accomplished and been associated with a wide variety of accusations - some substantiated, but most utterly false. Clinton has proven herself over time to be an effective leader, organizer and politician, as First Lady, Senator from New York and Secretary of State. She said she will work to create a fairer tax for the wealthy after her opponent in the Democratic primary, Bernie Sanders, ran a campaign critical of the ultra-wealthy. She criticised the justice system for excessive incarceration rates and for not fixing racial profiling, and has said that everybody deserves the right to vote - including ex-felons. Unlike Trump, she believes climate change is real, not a hoax
perpetuated by China. But we agree with Clinton most strongly not on her foreign or economic policies, but on her social policy. She is for marriage equality and is a supporter of transgender rights. She said that police are not the only ones who can be biased against minorities, and that everyone can have implicit bias, but that she would address police brutality. Not to mention, if she is elected the first female President, it will be a massive leap for women’s rights in the country. Clinton recognizes the privileges she has been granted in life and she has said over and over again that she wants to be a president for America - even for people who do not want to vote for her. Whether you agree with her
ideas or not, she shows time and time again that she is willing and able to fight until the bitter end while maintaining a clear and diplomatic demeanor, even when she is accused of being too sickly to become President while suffering from pneumonia. At the end of the second presidential debate, even Trump said something similar to this, calling her a “fighter” and someone who “doesn’t give up.” However, it is important to note that Clinton is far from a perfect candidate, as evidenced by a historically high unfavorability rating for a democratic candidate. She has had close ties to Wall Street in the past - several transcripts of private speeches she gave were released last week where she said it is important for
politicians to have a public and a private policy stance. Clinton is still embroiled in controversy surrounding a private email server she used as Secretary of State, and has had issues with her own privacy, including a couple of months where she did not hold a single press conference during much of the primary season. She has been accused of much worse and much less substantiated things as well, such as being responsible for the deaths of four Americans during an attack on an American embassy in Libya in the Benghazi scandal. She has also been accused of harassing women who claim to have been sexually assaulted by President Bill Clinton, both see ENDORSEMENT on page 9 >>

About 30 students protested the Dakota Access Pipeline at 12:40 p.m. Thursday on the Lory Student Center plaza. Students at the protest said they were informing bystanders not only of the environmental consequences of the pipeline, but of indigenous peoples in danger. The protesters called for bystanders to take action. The protest was organized to get students to sign a letter opposing the pipeline to the Fort Collins City Council, said Griselda Landa-Posas a lead organizer of the event. According to the protesters, the pipeline has created several issues with its construction, including disrupting the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and the surrounding environment. The pipeline, which is approximated to be 1,172-miles long, will transport domestically produced light sweet crude oil from fracking from North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois, according to the Dakota pipeline webpage. The protesters informed bystanders of the negative outcomes the pipeline has for the indigenous community directly affected by the construction, as well as the unequal treatment of the people in the area. Landa-Posas said that the pipeline goes through indigenous lands that were supposed to be protected under U.S. treaties, instead of going through white suburban areas. She said this depicts the capitalist motivations that ignore those who don’t directly impact the economy. Other protesters also echoed the similar tidings of the supported discrimination that they felt the companies promoted by building through the indigenous lands. “It isn’t a coincidence that the pipeline goes through indigenous lands,” said Michael Pipiales, an organizer of the event see PIPELINE on page 6 >>

Second presidential debate more controversial than first By Logan Crizer @logloc19
The second presidential debate occurred Sunday night with both candidates publicly attacking each other’s views and speaking on both the newly released scandals and their policy plans. The debate covered many topics including the environmental, tax reform, healthcare reform, islamophobia, syrian refugees, sexism and racism in the U.S. Additionally, the debates covered more controversial topics that dove into recent scandals on both candidates, such as the Trump tape and Clinton’s email scandal. The Trump tape, which was released on Friday Oct. 7 by the Washington Post, showed a conversation Trump had on a bus with Billy Bush of “Access Hollywood” in which he discussed groping woman’s genitals and sexually assaulting women. Anderson Cooper the moderator from CNN, began the online questions segment by bringing up the recent scandal. “We received a lot of questions online, Mr. Trump, about the tape that was received on
Friday,” Cooper said. “As you can imagine, where you called what you said locker room banter, you described kissing women without consent and grabbing their genitals, that is sexual assault. You bragged that you have sexually assaulted women, do you understand that?” Cooper said. Trump changed the subject, bringing up ISIS and attempting to downplay his scandal by bringing up his plan to defeat the terrorist group. Clinton responded to the scandal as well. “We have seen him insult women, rate women on their appearance ranking them from 1-10. We’ve seen him embarrass women on TV and Twitter,” Clinton said. “We saw him after the first debate denigrating former miss universe in the harshest most personal terms. So, yes, this is who Donald Trump is,” Clinton said. Martha Raddatz, a moderator and reporter from ABC news, brought up Hillary’s email scandal. Clinton defended herself by saying it was a mistake. “Obviously, if I were to do it over again, I would not. I’m not making any excuses. It was a mistake,” Clinton said.

Trump responded to the question as well, attacking Clinton’s statements and calling her a liar. After the scandals had both been covered for each party, the public questions were asked about health care and taxes. Both
candidates covered their plans for reform on the topics. Clinton noted making reforms to both systems, while Trump proposed shutting down Obamacare and reforming the current taxes. Gorba Hamid, a member of
the audience, asked about islamophobia in the U.S. “You’ve mentioned working with Muslim nations, but with islamophobia on the rise, how will you help people like me deal see DEBATE on page 7 >>

CSU considers increasing tuition, Warner College estimates cost of Amendment 70 celebrates homecoming with groundbreaking of minimum wage increase By Erin Douglas @erinmdouglas23
Colorado State University considered raising resident undergraduate tuition by 3 or 5 percent on Thursday during the CSU Board of Governors meeting in the Lory Student Center. In anticipation of no change to state funding of higher education, the board was presented with two different scenarios for changes in resident undergraduate tuition—both increases. If the board chooses to raise tuition for resident undergraduates, with no change to current state funding, students taking 15 credit hours could face a hike of $164 or $274 per semester in base tuition.

In addition to the uncertainty regarding state funding, CSU is preparing for a change in compensation if Colorado’s amendment 70 passes. Amendment 70 would increase the state’s minimum wage to $9.30 per hour. At CSU, there are 2,738 people working below the proposed minimum wage. Increasing the minimum wage would cost the university approximately $689,278. The amendment lays out a plan to slowly increase the minimum wage over time, from $9.30 to $12. The first level, $9.30 per hour, would go into effect January 2017. Then, the minimum wage would increase by 90 cents each year until it reached $12. The University expects to know more about contribution by the state to higher education by February, and Colorado citizens will vote on Amendment 70 on Nov. 8.

Michael Smith Natural Resources Building By Nicole Towne @CSUCollegian
Just hours after the board of governors meeting, minutes before the homecoming parade and following the homecoming bonfire, ground was symbolically broken for the new Michael Smith Natural Resources Building as part of the Warner College for Natural Resources. “The Michael Smith Natural Resource Building will add about 50,000 square feet to the college,”John Hayes, Warner College Dean said. “The new building will extend four stories high. It will contain state of the art class rooms and teaching labs.” It will also hold meeting spaces, administration functions for the college and the Center for Collaborative Conservation. The 20 million-dollar project is receiving roughly 40 percent of its funds from the university and 60 percent from donor gifts, Hayes said. Michael Smith, CSU Alumnus and chairman and chief executive of Freeport LNG which specializes in liquid natural gas, made the final contribution to the project to complete fundraising for the building. His 3.7 million dollar gift towards the building of the Michael Smith Natural Resource Center is only a piece of his recent 13 million dollar gift to the university. The remaining 9.3 million dollars is being put towards student scholarships and the Michael and Iris Smith Alumni Center, which will be located within the new on campus stadium. “I am thrilled to have been able to provide the remaining funds needed to break ground on this much needed, and even longer awaited, natural resource building,” Smith said. “And, it’s truly a great honor to have my name on the building which young geo scientists will be studying the industry that I love so much. I have enjoyed being a part of the oil and gas business for most of my adult life. I have a particular love
for geoscience which is a very important discipline in the Warner College of Natural (Resources).” During the ceremony Ed Warner,1968 alumnus, shared the story of how the concept for a new building came into existence. About five and a half years ago, Warner his wife Jackie, Professor Joe Berry and his wife Joyce, who worked at CSU for over 27 years and served as the Warner College dean from 2004 to 2014, went for breakfast at the Egg and I on south College Avenue and started discussing the issue of space in the Warner College of Natural Resources. “We started talking about a new building over coffee, eggs and pancakes,” Warner said … “We unfolded a napkin and we sketched out what we thought a building would kind of look like and then we jotted down notes all over it.” With full bellies, the four came back to campus to try to imagine what their idea would look like in context of the surrounding area. “We looked at the lay of the land and we knew we wouldn’t touch Sherwood forest,” Warner said. “It has historical significance to it and we talked all of this out.” After describing the origins of the future building, Warner pulled the napkin out of his pocket. “(The napkin), including the maple syrup spot on the corner of the napkin, is being donated to the Warner College and the dean has promised to have it framed and hang it from his office,” Warner said. CSU President Tony Frank was present for the ground breaking ceremony and expressed his thoughts on the impact this project will have. “This is an addition that will make a very big difference to the heart of this campus and will make a huge difference to one of the critical corner stone colleges that make up Colorado

CSU Board of Governors: Stadium update, health initiatives, campus crime statistics By Collegian Staff @CSUCollegian
The CSU Board of Governors met Friday in the Lory Student Center, and received several reports from CSU Fort Collins, CSU Global and CSU Pueblo. CSU Report: Stadium update, ASCSU plans health, textbook initiatives Executive Vice Chancellor Amy Parsons briefed the board on the stadium. Parsons said that as of Friday, the stadium had sold out every luxury option, including suites, indoor clubs, boxes and outdoor clubs. “A lot of these alums haven’t been on campus for a long time,” Parsons said. “I can’t wait to be here next year celebrating homecoming in the new stadium.” Parson said that the game day committee is in the process of gathering input from the community regarding operations on and off campus for game day, but did not provide any details. She said the board would receive a more detailed plan about game day in December. During the CSU Fort Collins report, Faculty Council representative Paul Doherty briefly spoke about non-tenure track faculty. “(We are) thinking about how they can fit into our system a little better here,” Doherty said.
ASCSU plans to expand health services on campus, works towards open source textbooks ASCSU President Daniela Pineda Soraca reported working towards open source textbooks and access to feminine care products on campus during her report to the Board of Governors Friday afternoon. Pineda Soraca said the student organization, which manages roughly $2.5 million in student fees, is working to bring more political attention the expense of textbooks. “This is a matter that we plan to take to the Colorado Student Government Coalition,” Pineda Soraca said. Pineda Soraca also told the board about ASCSU’s initiative to expand health services on campus, specifically access to feminine care products. “They are not as accessible on campus as we would like them to be,” Pineda Soraca said. Pineda Soraca said she hopes the organization can help to address needs for health services on campus and in Fort Collins. The ASCSU president briefly spoke about the organization’s plans to host a discrimination in the workplace forum with faculty, community members and law enforcement. Pineda Soraca said this was a response to recent events in the community.
By the Numbers: Crime at CSU in 2015 As part of the morning discussion, pieces of CSU’s annual safety reported were addressed. Each October CSU releases a summary of safety information regarding the past year, as part of the Clery Act. In 2015, there were 46 reported cases of sexual assault and 23 reported rapes. Listed below are other cited statistics: Dating and Domestic Violence: 20 Stalking: 12 Arrests for Liquor Law Violations: 91 Alcohol Disciplinary Referrals: 1,072 Arrests for Drug Abuse Violations: 63 Drug Disciplinary Referrals: 392 By the Numbers: CSU Research Expenditures CSU Vice President for Research Alan Rudolph presented CSU research expenditures in 2016 to the Board of Governors, listed here: 2,211 grant proposals sent $339 million in expenditures Overall awards: $282 million Federal awards: $214 million Industry awards: $14 million Non-federal: $54 million, an 18.3 increase from last year Rudolph explained the two components of research at the
institutional level. He said the first component is faculty, staff and students conducting the research. The second component is infrastructural support, which Rudolph said is a challenging component. “Doing research like this requires a lot of resource investment to make it work, to make it work well,” Rudolph said. “ ... Part of that investment is really what is sometimes the uglier stuff like the information systems, the IT.” Rudolph believes the infrastructural support needs an upgrade. He talked about the research and scholarship success initiative, which is a plan to improve research infrastructure in the future. Features of this initiative include facility renovations and improving research administration processes such as IT. “Great people and great ideas
need great facilities in order to continue this kind of impact,” Rudolph said. CSU Pueblo focuses on donations, student enrollment CSU Pueblo is struggling with retention and student enrollment, and has begun to focus on more donations. President Lesley Di Mare said that the campus hoped to receive $25 million to fund scholarships, the Occhiato University Center, and the athletics department. The campaign received $28.4 million, in addition to $6 million in grants received over the last two weeks, which will fund students with disciplines in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and will fund grants for first-generation and Hispanic students.

Volk described his experience at the most recent Colorado Music Educators Association where the jazz ensemble performed.

“We knew we were going to greatly exceed expectations among our state peers, but also among music educators across the 12 schools in Colorado,” Volk said of the performance, which included several freshman in an 18-person ensemble. CSU Global Campus works to reduce class size, improve student performance CSU Global Campus has experienced improvements in retention rates, professional development programs and class sizes. CSU Global Campus President Becky Takeda-Tinker said that retention rates for the global campus are between 80 and 85 percent, higher than they were two years ago. Takeda-Tinker attributed this to the adaptation of new learning technology tools. Technological advance-
ments have also led to the creation of customizable learning resources so that students will not have to go through remedial courses, Takeda-Tinker said Jon Bellum, provost of CSU Global, said that university faculty members are working to enhance professional development opportunities. Bellum said that funds have been allotted to pay for professional development training for students and faculty that takes place outside of the university. Bellum also said that funds have also been allotted for students and faculty members that present at conferences and submit written works for publication. Bellum said that these individuals receive a stipend if a paper that they present at a conference is accepted for publication. Graduate class sizes for the
online program have also decreased. “In July we dropped our max numbers in any graduate class to eighteen.” Bellum stated, “The intent being that we want smaller classes so that our faculty can have even more engagement with individual students.” Overall, Bellum said that faculty expectations for the global campus have increased in order to have a tighter relationship between students and faculty members. Bellum said that the intent behind improving these relationships was to increase the humanity of the faculty members, a difficult task in an online setting.

>> PIPELINE from page 2 as well as a member of the SLiCE office. “The pipeline was built through sacred burial grounds that were spiritually important to the indigenous, and (the pipeline has) the potential to endanger the water quality.” One of the protesters told his own story of his interaction with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and fellow activists, after volunteering to bring supplies. Adam Lovell said he brought supplies to the tribe and everyone was smiling and extremely grateful. He said when he went to the front lines of the protests, there was a warrior-like spirit, smiles and prayer. According to the Guardian, the Table Rock Sioux protests began in April 2016, and since then people have been protesting by interfering with construction. The on-campus protest had about 30 people in attendance, with bystanders passing and stopping to chat on occasion asking about the movement. A few students spoke about the protest, supporting the effort that the students had put forth. Clair Andrews, a member of the SLiCE office, said the protest was important since it tells students about the pipeline and shows students the importance of supporting activism. “The protest has the ability to really go somewhere beyond just yelling on the stump since they are so actively reaching the students with signs and information,” said Kevin Ennes, a supportive student. The protest continued into the afternoon, and multiple chants were started by the protesters. “Water is life, water is sacred!” chanted the protesters. “We can be the generation to change!” shouted Landa-Posas. “People over profits, earth over profits.” The protesters hope to get several letters before the next city council meeting, as well as at least 20 speakers for the meeting, Landa-Posas said. The letter opposing the Dakota Pipeline project can be signed at the SLiCE office, and students can learn more about the reservations being affected by the project at the Native American Cultural Center the protesters said.

important it is for them to feel they are wanted and included and part of our country, part of our homeland security and that’s what I want to see.” The candidates then discussed the Syrian refugee crisis, with Trump supporting a stricter enforcement policy and Clinton endorcing more efforts being made to help the victims. “I think Donald is getting very off topic with at hand and he is straying away from the topics since he can’t back up for justify his past wrongs. He is talking nonsense,” said Grace, a CSU student who asked to remain anonymous. The debate ended with a handshake as both opponents went to greet supporters.

Collegian women speak out on the infamous ‘Trump tape’ Mikaela Rodenbaugh
Rachel Melton
Alexandra Stettner
@CSUCollegian
@CSUCollegian
@CSUCollegian
Rodenbaugh: When bragging about sexual assault is dismissed as just locker-room banter, society needs to do better. Donald Trump’s mic finally worked, and in case there was any shred of doubt in your mind about the sort of misogynistic, sexist rhetoric falling out of his mouth, the Trump tapes don’t leave anything to the imagination. Within them, Trump is recorded using lewd, sexist language. At one point bragging that he enjoyed kissing women without asking for consent, later stating: “And when you’re a star, they let you do it.” continuing, “Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.” If that wasn’t enough, when confronted with this recording in yesterday night’s debate, he responded: “This is locker room talk,” later adding, “it’s just words, folks, it’s just words.” If only rape culture was just talk. If only 1 in every 5 women weren’t victims of sexual assault. If only men who bragged about victimizing women in situations where they feel safe--even cool for belittling and objectifying women didn’t also turn around and later take these same attitudes they claim are just talk, and apply them to the women around them. Women, everyday of their lives, experience sexism that is just brushed aside. As a woman, it doesn’t matter what you say, there is always someone who believes you to be less credible than a man saying the same thing. Someone who is willing to interrupt and mansplain. Someone who will objectify you and make you feel small. Men that are fathers, brothers, and sons, carrying on the vicious cycle of misogyny. Trump surrogates like Scottie Nell-Hughes would have you believe this sort of rhetoric doesn’t affect women. If only Trump’s recent comments weren’t so chillingly familiar to so many women, including myself. When I was 15 years old, a classmate and friend of mine, walked up to me and groped my breasts. Later on in the school year, that same boy repeatedly groped another of my classmates. When I was 16, an independent contractor working in the same office space that I worked in every weekend, consistently came in when I was completely alone in the office, to flirt with me and objectify me, once saying, “you should model for my real estate photos.” He was my father’s age. At 18, when I was walking down the street, holding hands with my partner, a man driving by opened his driver’s seat window to yell, “show me your tits.” At 21, I was told by a male family member that if it comes down to a husband and a wife making decisions in an emergency, it’s the husband who will be right. “Women aren’t good in a crisis,” that was his justification. These are just a few of the myriad incidents in my life that I have felt personally affected by the sort of sexist attitude so many people in our country have come to accept as normal. If this is the new normal, it shouldn’t be. I refuse to accept that the very men in my life that have vowed to protect me, at several points in their lives, have participated in rape culture. I deserve better. They deserve better for themselves. The women of this nation deserve better. It is time that everyone keep each other accountable for the sexism that we have come to accept all around us. Time for so called locker room banter to stop featuring the blatant endorsement of sexism, misogyny, sexual assault and all the things that come with it. We need a new culture, of men and women who will stand up in the face of these sorts of attitudes and say, no, I won’t accept this. Because we can’t accept this. Not for any longer. We can’t accept that a man running for the highest office in our country also believes he can have his way with any woman he wants.

Melton: How far have we come really? Why we cannot say that the US has reached gender equality. I would love to sit here and tell you that the fight for equality is over, but that simply isn’t the case. Sure, it is 2016 and we have the potential to have our first woman president, but the fact that her opponent has openly admitted to blatant misogyny and sexual assault gives you just a glimpse into the raging sexism that lives on in America. Equal pay has been one of the fights on the top of the feminist agenda. Between 1979 and 2010, women have gone from getting paid 62 percent as much as their male counterparts to 81 percent. Almost 4 decades later, women have received about a $0.20 raise. Meanwhile men respond, what wage gap? In our government women are embarrassingly under-represented. Only 104 of the 535 members of the United States Congress are women. Only 20 percent of United States Senate are women. Only 84 women serve in the United States House of Representatives. Everyone loves to ignore the rape culture that is institutionalized by the way we handle sexual assault. 18 percent of women in the US have been raped in their lifetime. Only 12 percent of the 300,000 college women reported their rapes to law enforcement. That is 264,000 women who felt they had to remain silent about the injustice they experienced. This is not a statistic that should be tolerated. I’m sick of middle-class white men promising me that “it’s 2016, inequality isn’t an issue.” When you are receiving 20 percent more than me for doing the same job, when you are given 80 percent of the representation in the government and don’t have to live everyday of your life in fear that a man will steal your power from you, you don’t get to tell me that inequality isn’t an issue. When one of the front runner candidates for President of the United States is given the free range to brag about his non-consensual sexual conquests, and to speak about women in such a demeaning manner on a consistent basis, you don’t get to tell me not to be concerned.

Stettner: Bait and switch, how trumpeters are using Bill Clinton as a reason to justify the Trump tapes In the wake of the Trump tape, Donald Trump and some of his supporters seem to keep thinking that Bill Clinton and whatever actions he has been accused of has something to do with this election. Here’s a fact: Bill Clinton is not running for president. Hillary Clinton is. Her career, before and after his presidency, and her policies, are largely independent of what her partner did twenty years ago, and as a woman, I would be appalled to continue being compared to what my husband did back in the day. I believe victims, and I believe that the allegations of rape and sexual assault against Bill Clinton need to be fully investigated. I also believe that if these awful things were proven to be true, he should be fully charged and justice should be brought. But let’s not confuse who was the perpetrator in these events. Bill and Hillary Clinton share last names, but they do not share lives. To be perfectly clear, these victims are accusing Bill Clinton, not Hillary, of their assault. The implications of continuing to associate Secretary Clinton with the former president undermines her successes and triumphs as a woman. Politics aside, she has fought against her own adversity to make her way in a man’s world when she first started her career. This association to her husband demeans her, reducing her to an immature affair decades ago or to issues that have still yet to be resolved. Whatever Bill Clinton has done, this is simply another example of how a man is not held accountable for his own actions, but instead is the woman’s fault. This has been seen too many times in rape and sexual assault cases. Not to mention, this entire media circus around who said what, or who did what, has completely detracted from real issues. An incredible amount of Sunday night’s debate surrounded the recently released tapes, Trump’s allegations against Clinton and the former president, and a general back and forth between the candidates of who is worse.

The Trump tapes have opened up a conversation for Americans that is long overdue. Let us not waste this opportunity by making excuses for ourselves and the people around us.

The Rocky Mountain Collegian | Monday, October 10, 2016 >> ENDORSEMENT from page 1 claims which have never been substantiated. This was not a unanimous decision. However, Donald Trump was not our second choice - not one member of the editorial board said they could support him in November. Gary Johnson, the presidential nominee from the Libertarian Party, would be our second choice for President. Donald Trump is arguably the single worst presidential candidate from any party in the history of the United States, a truly disgusting man who the Republican party should disavow and cast aside. A man who says he “grabs them (women) by the pussy” because he is famous, allows his daughter to be called “a piece of ass,” and called Mexicans rapists and murderers. He has woken some of the worst islamophobic, homophobic, transphobic and xenophobic tendencies of this country, and has embarrassed America abroad. We do not need to make America great again - it is already great. Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, on the other hand, are both unprepared to lead and are without the same level of organization that their Democratic and Republican opponents have. Johnson was unable to locate Aleppo, one of the most war-torn cities in Syria, and was unable to name a single foreign diplomat he respected.
Stein’s policies are whimsical and not based in reality, and Stein herself seems unable to effectively defend her stances in a public setting. Traditionally, we expect Presidential candidates to promise us the world while on the campaign trail, and to keep those promises while in office. This is unrealistic, however, and a successful candidate is one with a chance to complete some of their campaign objectives while in office - not all of them. The American presidential race is protracted and dramatic; we believe that Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for the role of Commander-in-Chief in part because the caricature-like arguments that have been made against her fitness for office are based on a system bloated with expectations and oppression, and a populous starry-eyed by big talkers. Hillary is the best candidate for the job because she is a dignified, level-headed political veteran who is more than capable of handling the Oval Office. She takes strong positions on issues that matter to many Americans, but has shown an ability to change those stances as times change. To this realistic, and humanistic, approach, her opponents do not even come close. The Collegian Editorial Board can be reached at editor@collegian.com.

CSU defense comes up big in win over Utah State By Eric Wolf @Eric_Wolf5 From the way Colorado State’s last homecoming game at Hughes Stadium started, it looked like the Rams were on their way to a third consecutive loss and an 0-2 start in conference play. Trailing 24-10 at halftime, the Rams defense looked like they did not have any sort of response for what quarterback Kent Myers and Utah State’s offense were throwing at them. But then the second half came around, and the CSU defense locked it in and locked down the Aggies in the process. “I’m really proud of the defense and how they played in the second half, really (in) that fourth quarter. We bowed our neck in plus-territory and guys stepped up,” coach Mike Bobo said. “I’m really proud of the way they responded.” In the first half, the CSU defense did not respond to the challenge given to them after the Border War loss last week. CSU gave up 278 yards, 174 of them on the ground, and dual
threat quarterback Kent Myers tore up the defense, running for 56-yards and two touchdowns on nine carries, while throwing for 104 yards. The emphasis from the CSU defense all week was to contain Myers and the Utah State ground attack, but the Rams struggled mightily to slow down the Aggie running game, particularly on the boundary in the first half. But after halftime, the script completely flipped. The CSU defense gave up 183 yards in the second half, and shut out the Aggies, holding the score at 24 for the rest of the game. Six times in the second half the Aggies moved the ball to the 50-yard line or into CSU territory and came off the field each time with no points to show for it. “We kept getting momentum and momentum and getting energized and feeding off of each other.” Bobo said. It was not a perfect performance in the second half. The Aggies were still able to gash the Rams with big plays and there were some particularly ugly defensive moments such as two

straight pass interference calls on cornerback Tyree Simmons that helped move a fourth quarter Aggie drive all the way to the

CSU soccer ties Air Force 1-1, stay alive in Mountain West race By Colton Strickler @coltonstrickler The Colorado State women’s soccer team capped off an important weekend in the Mountain West on Sunday with a 1-1 tie against Air Force. Colorado State (3-9-2, 1-4-1 MW) found themselves in overtime for the fourth time this season and the second time in 10 days. “This is probably the limit,” Colorado State head coach Bill Hempen said of the number of overtimes his team has been involved in so far. “If we go more I’d be willing to bet that it’s past any limit. We just don’t have that pure goal scorer that hits them in the head and goes in.” The Rams had the first chance to score when sophomore forward Hannah Gerdin missed a scoring opportunity early when she dribbled into the keeper on a breakaway. Colorado State found themselves down just moments later as Air Force (6-5-1, 2-3-1 MW) senior forward Ashley Greco put the Falcon’s first shot of the game past junior goalkeeper Paige Brandt to put the Falcons up 1-0. “It’s frustrating to see how the game seems to have the same
script all the time,” Hempen said after the game. “If we have that ball right at the beginning of the game, one-nothing us, and then not long after they get their first chance and they stick it.” It was truly a tale of two halves for the Rams, who tightened up their defense following the Falcons’ early goal, and as a result went into halftime trailing 1-0. The Rams looked like a different team in the second half. Despite getting outshot 9-5 in the second half, Colorado State played with the momentum on their side. Colorado State’s lone goal of the match came in the 72nd minute after junior midfielder Gianna Marconi was undercut by senior defender Meredith Reisinger in the box, setting up a penalty kick. The penalty would serve as a blow to the Falcons both on the scoreboard and on the field. The Falcons lost Reisinger for the rest of the match after receiving her second yellow card for her role in the play and were forced to finish the game with only 10 players. Sophomore forward Kaija Ornes would make the most of the opportunity, burying the penalty kick and breathing new
life into the Rams in the process. “With the penalty kick we had a great ball in, Gianna went up for it and luckily the girl grabbed her,” Ornes said of the penalty kick. “(I) Just tried to settle down and breath, realizing that it’s not that big of a deal and that you’ve done it a million times.” Despite coming up on the short end of the 17-12 shot count, the Rams were on the right side of the 22-8 foul count. There was no shortage of yellow cards either, with Air Force racking up five to Colorado State’s one. The Rams come-from-behind effort in Sunday’s game was an important one in terms of the Mountain West standings. In a Mountain West conference that is all over the place with two weeks to play, the point the Rams earned from the tie keeps them in the hunt. “They know that the goal that they set for themselves is still there,” Hempen said of his team’s morale after the tie. “They are excited that, okay we didn’t win but we got our point, we’re still in it. The conference is all over the place this year.” When the Rams take the field on Friday they will do so without junior defender Janelle Stone who suffered a meniscus injury

Same start, different finish for CSU Rams By Eric Wolf @Eric_Wolf5
Everything seemed different, yet so much was the same as the Colorado State Rams escaped with a 31-24 victory against Utah State Saturday night. The game started off much like last week’s loss to the University of Wyoming. The CSU offense was able to move the ball early on in the game, and the Rams held early leads in both. 14-3 against Wyoming, and 10-3 on Saturday night. But on Saturday, just as in the week before, the CSU offense went stagnant after the early start, and the CSU defense struggled mightily in the first half. After a hot first quarter, CSU’s offense only managed 69 total yards, and 21 yards on the ground in the second quarter after eclipsing 105 rushing yards in the first quarter alone. And the defense buckled early and often to the Aggie attack as the Rams fell behind 24-10 at halftime. To close out the half, The Rams surrendered 21 straight points to the Aggies, just like they did to Wyoming last week when they trailed 24-17 at half. Last week, CSU went into
halftime trailing and essentially folded, as Wyoming ran over the Rams in the second half and walked off with the Bronze Boot after a 38-17 victory. This week, there would be no repeat performance of a second half collapse on behalf of CSU. “I know we were down last week, we are down again, but we can come back,” quarterback Nick Stevens said. “Don’t doubt it and believe. That was an emphasis all week, no matter what happens believe.” Last week, the Rams were left searching for leadership after the uninspiring second half performance against Wyoming. This week, the players noted that there was a different mindset and a different approach coming out of halftime for this game on Saturday. “Guys believed today, that was huge,” linebacker Kevin Davis said. “You can see it in their eyes. It was not like that any of the other games. Guys believed we fed off of each other.” The difference in energy was evident. Against Wyoming, the Rams kept shooting themselves in the foot, and as the deficit grew larger everything was snowballing for CSU. With that, it looked like the players themselves gave

On Saturday, the team came out much differently in the second half. Players were flying around and making plays. Davis and Safety Jake Schlager said
that guys were actually having fun. Something that surely seemed to be lacking last week. But in the end, a change in attitude was certainly not the biggest reason that CSU came out
with a victory. They just simply came out and played much better than

CSU men’s basketball opens practice optimistic By Justin Michael The CSU basketball team opened practice Friday with optimism around the program regarding the team’s potential this season and beyond. As the team prepares for their first exhibition game of the season against Regis Nov. 8, head coach Larry Eustachy is pleased with how this team has truly bought into his system. “If we can hold together these 10, I think we have a very coachable group,” Eustachy said following Friday’s practice. “As coachable as I have had here.” Eustachy emphasized the depth on the roster and believes that his coaching staff has done an excellent job in putting together a team that will compete for the distant future. “I love, on paper, that we will have five unbelievable sophomores next season,” Eustachy said. “ Some of the kids sitting out are extremely good. I’m not dancing around this year. I think we will beat some people. I think we will be good, but the longterm is exactly where I’ve left every program. We’re loaded for years to come.” Last season CSU scored points in bunches, but an inconsistent offense and an almost
non-existent defense cost the Rams in a lot of close games. Sophomore guard Prentiss Nixon pointed to complacency within the team last season. This year, Nixon believes the team is hungrier and ready to compete. “A lot of Guys have done done a good job filling roles,” Nixon said. “We lost four seniors last year and John (Gillon). I mean those guys played big parts. I’m stepping up. Voc (Devocio Butler) is stepping up. You know Gian (Clavell) is going to do his thing. E (Emmanuel Omogbo) is stepping up and being a leader. People in the locker room are stepping up and doing things that need to be done for us win games this year.” Junior transfer guard Devocio Butler credits Eustachy for instilling the mindset that this team needs to compete. “We need the hard nosed coach,” Butler said. “We don’t need anybody to take it light on us and baby us. We need somebody to yell at us and get into us.” Butler believes that this team has something to prove this year after falling short of expectations last season and that Eustachy is preparing this team so they do not face a similar outcome in 2016-17.
“You need balanced scoring to win,” Butler said. “Balanced scoring, defense and rebounding. That’s the only way we are going to win. Can’t have one player averaging 25 and the next player averaging nine points. We need balanced scoring down the roster.” This team knows that they are being written off by so-called experts, but all they are worried about is doing their job and competing for a Mountain West championship. “I’ve seen preseason rankings, I’ve seen newcomer of the year, I’ve seen all of that,” Butler said. “We are going to be overlooked regardless, so I am not worried about that. We are trying to win.” The program is stacked with young talent and being led by a coach that is wholeheartedly dedicated to CSU. The reality is Eustachy has had success everywhere he has gone but it is not always an overnight process. If the players truly buy into his system and coaching philosophy like they indicated Friday afternoon, the Rams should find themselves in a much better position than they were one year ago. Justin Michael can be reached at sports@collegian.com.
>> START from page 11 they did in the second half against Wyoming. It’s not a science, if you stop the other team, and score enough points of your own, you can win games. For much of this season, that simplicity has alluded the Rams. On Saturday, they finally got it right. “I think again there is an execution that ended up happening in the second half and that is what brought us back in
the game,” Stevens said. Whereas last week the Rams were unable to make any plays to get themselves in a rhythm and back into the game, there was no shortage on Saturday. The initial spark came by the way of wide receiver Michael Gallup who turned a short slant over the middle into a 60-yard touchdown on the team’s first possession after halftime. Gallup’s big touchdown would
spur the Rams on a 21-0 run of their own in the second half, with a huge contribution from the team’s oft-maligned defense. After surrendering 24 first half points, the defense shutout the Aggies in the second half. For the third straight week, the Rams defense looked like it was on it’s way to becoming a scapegoat for the team in what would be it’s third consecutive loss, but on Saturday night, the defense bent
but did not break in the entire second half. And even when starting quarterback Collin Hill went down with a knee injury in the third quarter with the Rams trailing by seven, it did nothing to deflate the team in its comeback bid. After Hill went out, CSU scored two more touchdowns with Stevens under center. Stevens was not perfect is his first significant action since week
one, and no part of this team played a perfect second half, but it was a team in desperate need of a win, and that desperation showed. “The guys responded extremely well,” Bobo said. “It is something you preach all the time about handling adversity, but to see your guys do that, (it) makes you feel good as a coach.” Eric Wolf can be reached by email at sports@collegian.com
the train started rolling and it kept rolling through the second half for the Rams. “We were playing more on the attack,” safety Jake Schlager said. “We were having a blast. Everyone was just flying around making plays. The energy was going from one person to another.” For the most part, the CSU defense was able to crack down on Myers in the second half, holding him to 46 yards rushing, and 9-21 passing. The Rams also sacked Myers four times on the night. And for a team that came
into the game minus-two in turnover differential and had its last two games marked by losing the turnover battle, it had to feel good to walk away from this game on the other side. The Rams offense did not turnover the ball and the CSU defense forced two of their own. One of them came when Simmons delivered a big hit to Aggie running back Tonny Lindsey Jr. in the third quarter, forcing a fumble recovered by linebacker Kevin Davis. The second one came when Davis picked off Myers as Utah State faced third-and-five
from the fifty with 47 seconds left in the game. A defensive game-clincher from the defense’s best player stood as a fitting end for a game that was largely won by the CSU defensive effort in the second half. “Don’t drop the ball, it was too wide open, my thoughts were just don’t drop the ball, and get down,” Davis said about what was running through his mind on his interception. “It was a relief. It was something we needed as a team.” Collegian sports reporter Eric Wolf can be reached by email at sports@collegian.com.
@JustinTMichael
>> DEFENSE from page 10 “That’s just boost for the defense,” linebacker Kevin Davis said. “That’s huge confidence, just for as young as we are, to be able to go out there in the second half of the game and shutout Utah State.” Bobo attributed the change of pace to a defense that was playing freer in the second half. He wanted his players to go out and fly around and attack the ball, and that is what they did. Just like in the week two game against UTSA, once the defense started getting stops,

Most interesting and ridiculous quotes from the second presidential debate By Camila Nadalet @camnadalet
It is no doubt that this year’s presidential election is likely catching the eyes and ears of all 7 billion people in the world. While we all wish that the fuss over the candidates was because they were both ideal contenders for president of our country, the unfortunate truth is that a large portion of United States citizens fear what the future of the country will be like in the hands of either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. But, regardless of how scary one of them being elected might be, there is one good thing that comes out of this; it makes for quite interesting debates. Here is a list of just a few of the most interesting and ridiculous quotes from last night’s debate: 1. Clinton: “Our country is great because we are good.” Thank you, Hillary for this insightful look into why the United States is such a great country. Nobody has ever said why our country is so great quite as eloquently as you just did. 2. Trump: “I want do things that haven’t been done including fixing and making our inner-cities better for the African American citizens that are so great, and for the Latinos.”
The question being asked to Trump prior to this answer was if he thinks he is being appropriate for today’s youth. If you ask me, he most definitely nailed this answer. He also compared the country’s current state to medieval times. As can be seen, he knows how to accurately answer questions. 3. Trump: “I have great respect for women; nobody has more respect for women than I do.” Refer to quote #4. 4. Clinton: “We have seen him insult women, we have seen him rank women… we have seen him embarrass women… this is who Donald Trump is.” With no shame, Clinton brought on one of the first of many insults of the night with this quote. She definitely perfectly summed up many women’s and men’s feelings about Trump. 5. Trump: “I am going to help the African Americans… she has done nothing for the African Americans.” No need to worry folks, Trump may insult women, but he is going to help the African Americans, so everything is okay. 6. Clinton: “It’s awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country.” Trump: “Because you’d be in jail.”
Buuuuuuuurrrnnn. 7. Hillary: *laughs off Trump’s insults for the 134th time* By now, we have all grown very accustomed to Clinton’s goto response when Trump throws an insult at her. The debates would not be the same without her iconic smirk and laugh. 8. Trump: “Why don’t you interrupt [Clinton]?” Yeah come on, Martha? How dare you interrupt Trump when he goes over his two designated minutes to answer his question? 9. Clinton: “No.” Not quite sure that there could have been a better response than this to being asked if Trump has the discipline to be a good leader. 10. Clinton: “I respect his children.” Trump: “She doesn’t quit; she doesn’t give up. I respect that.” What a heart-warming sentiment to end another debate on. However, these statements were only said after being asked to name one thing each candidate respects about the other. And, of course, those compliments could not just stand alone. Both Trump and Clinton followed up with things that they did not agree with about the other, but is that not somewhat expected? Camila Nadalet can be reached at news@collegian.com.

14 ‘The Girl on the Train’ creates mixed emotions ARTS & CULTURE Monday, October 10, 2016
By Taylor Felver @collegian_tay
The trending novel “The Girl on the Train” written by Paula Hawkins has been transformed into a movie starring Emily Blunt and Justin Theroux that mixes suspense and violence in a gripping thriller. Released into theatres on Oct. 7, the movie was instantly a popular attraction going into the weekend box office. Rachel is a struggling alcoholic who seems to be obsessed with visiting her ex-husband and his new wife and child, all while creating an odd fascination with these people she watches from the train windows who she makes out to be living this perfect life in love. With the shock of a murder crippling the girl she saw from the train and being unable to remember where Rachel was the night she died sends Rachel into a chaotic spiral as she tries to solve the mystery. For those who have read this tale of twists, the movie could have come off with many different emotions. While the movie covered the main aspects of what happened in the novel sticking to the script enough to produce an acceptable thriller, they missed the otherwise important details. Ranging from adding a character into the movie who displayed a crucial detail to changing the setting completely. The story itself is set in England, while the movie is set in New York. These changes could almost be seen as comical because while they showed notable places like Grand Central Station the movie really tried
hard to make it seem like England sticking with street names that are strikingly British. Many details from this classic thriller were either omitted in the movie or edited to perhaps make it easier to follow along. It was not just the way they re-told this story on the screen that made the movie captivating, but the main actress who played Rachel did an amazing job. Emily Blunt usually plays strong characters and initially I thought Rachel would be too much of a saddened and not a strong willed character, but the makeup team and Blunt really did a stunning job of displaying how Rachel was such a distraught mess of a character who constantly drinks. Blunt additionally managed to keep the story line together as the audience views the plot from her eyes, and that may have been hard to do as Rachel is revealed as a distraught, withering alcoholic and in the movie she appears as way more intense than her character in the novel. The movie jumps back and forth from character to character and is on a timeline and if that is not taken note of, this movie could just be seen as confusing to anyone who has not read the book. The movie itself was entertaining and suspenseful and for those having not read first, it would be easy go back and forth between which character actually committed the crime as more details become slowly revealed. The especially capturing thing for any movie-going lover is that the film itself is com-
pletely engrossing and paying attention to every detail really counts. The Girl on the Train brings so many diverse characters and peeks into each of their lives and reveals that they are not really all what they seem to be, and that specifically is what makes this movie riveting. I would highly recommend seeing this movie, especially for fans of the popular thriller Gone Girl as this has similar features, just with a wide array of characters. This movie and book in general has many things to offer from unwanted feelings to a unraveling mystery and for those who simply want to be entertained and enthralled for two hours, this would be a fulfilling movie to see. This movie will have more than enough success at the box office as it displays to audiences that there is more than meets the eye to each of these characters lives and contains a dark appeal. For those who love the thriller genre in general, The Girl on the Train may not disappoint, but it is not quite up to the level where it surpasses the usual victim portrayal found in most movies of this genre. Final Score: 8/10 Incorporating both newer plot lines while still staying consistent to the book, this movie if nothing else provides entertainment for a couple of hours. Some who really enjoy book consistency might be let down, however it still is relevant enough to produce a twisted, entrancing thriller that is well worth the watch.
