Students debate election issues

Topics included war on drugs, education, Black Lives Matter

By Rachel Telljohn @racheltelljohn

Campus progressives and conservatives held an issues-based debate Wednesday night in the Lory Student Center, hosted by the Associated Students of Colorado State University.

Two representatives were present for the progressive side, PJ Seel and Tyler Siri; both are members of Rams for Progress.

Two representatives were also present for the conservative side, Joel Crank and Juan Caro; both are members of the College Republicans. Juan Caro was chosen

to debate about an hour before the event started, as Sara Andreas, College Republican President for CSU, was ill.

The debate was moderated

by ASCSU. Social Issues On social issues the students discussed institutional racism in the criminal justice system and pathways to citizenship for illegal immigration.

In response to a moderator question about what should be done about the rising racial and socioeconomic tensions across the United States conservatives responded that violent protest-

ing was not productive.

“The racial tensions we have seen in America is absolutely out of control... This is not social justice, this is anarchy,” Crank said.

“Is racism better or worse today?”

Progressives said that education would be key to resolving tensions across the United States.

Crank said he believes there is a need to get individuals off of the street and into jobs.

Siri said the criminal justice system is a system of institutional racism. He said the system is a symptom of a failed drug war, tension and inequality.

Seel said that all illegal immigrants should be given amnesty.

In response conservatives said illegal immigrants should be given the right channels in order to become legal.

“We would want people who obey the laws,” Caro said.

Illegal immigrants increase opportunities and income for America, Seel said.

“They come to this nation to do work,” Seel said.

National Security On national security, both sides agreed that Edward Snowden should be brought back to the U.S. and given a fair

trial. The progressives labeled Snowden a whistle blower.

“I don’t think (the government’s response to Snowden) was addressed in the correct way,” Caro said.

Crank read off a list of what is going on in the Middle East in response to what is the biggest external threat to the U.S, and said that bad people must be prevented from entering the country.

Conservatives said the country needs to fight to win when it comes to war, and that Iraq and Vietnam were lost because of the lack of the fight to win. see DEBATE on page 4 >>

Curt and Nancy Richardson, co-founders of Otter Box and Blue Ocean Enterprises, donated $8.1 million dollars to Colorado State University to build a design center on campus.

The Richardson Design Center, named after the donors, will be built east of the new stadium on Lake Street.

“The Richardson’s envision the Design Center to provide space that will be available to all disciplines and gives faculty and students an opportunity to examine design theory in an exciting, hands-on approach,” wrote Annie LilyBlade, Interior Design Team Manager, in an Email to the Collegian. “It will offer labs and workspace that enables students to unleash their creativity and passion, while collaborating with fellow designers.

The center is projected to be completed by January 2019, according to the CSU Design and Merchandising website.

Richardson Design Center will give students, faculty, and the community the opportunity to design, learn and engage with each other.

The design center will cost $16.5 million to complete. After the Richardson donations, the rest of the money will be collected through fundraisers.

CSU is also offering groups and individuals who are interested in design the chance to name some of the rooms that will be in the building.

Nancy Richardson earned her interior design degree in 1982 from CSU. Occasionally, she is a guest speaker on campus about interior design.

However, her education is not the only way in which she is involved with Fort Collins.

Nancy’s husband, Curt, founded OtterBox which has its headquarters in Fort Collins. OtterBox is well known for their protective phone cases see OTTERBOX on page 7 >>

ELECTION GUIDE

2016

By Gina Spoden @gina_spoden5

Proposition 106 would legalize medical aid in dying in the state of Colorado if voters approve it this November.

Proposition 106, also known as Colorado End of Life Options Act or Initiative 145, passed through the legislature last April. The initiative proposes a series of conditions that would ultimately allow a terminally ill patient the ability to end their life through lethal medication.

The nearly twelve-page bill states that in order for a patient to request the aid the individual must be diagnosed with a terminal illness and given less than six months left to live, be mentally able to make the decision and voluntarily ask for the lethal medication. The patient is also required to give two oral requests separated by fifteen days and provide a written request passing standards set forth in the bill.

This is the third time in two

Proposition 106 would legalize assisted suicide years that Colorado government members have attempted to pass legislation making the issue legal. House Bill 1054, which was introduced last year, failed in the legislature due to concerns that there were not enough requirements for witnesses and insurance companies could see the option as easier and cheaper than caring for the patient throughout the remainder of their treatments.

If supporters of the bill happen to be successful this time around Colorado will be the sixth state behind Oregon, Washington, Vermont, California and Montana to approve medically assisted suicide.

In 1997 Oregon was the first state in the United States to legalize assisted suicide. Through the Death With Dignity act “an adult who is capable, is a resident of Oregon, and has been determined by the attending physician and consulting physician to be suffering from a terminal disease, and who has voluntarily expressed his or her wish to die,” has the possibility of ending their life.

Washington followed in 2008, Vermont in 2013 and California just months earlier in 2016. Montana, in 2009, created a defense for physicians who assisted patients in suicide.

For Jeffrey Hunt, leader of conservative think tank Centennial Institute, Proposition 106 is following in the footsteps of HB 1054.

“The government is saying, ‘It’s cheaper to kill you and we’re willing to pay for that,’” Hunt said.

He said that insurance companies are already quick to jump on opportunities to pay the least they can. The pressure from these two groups, including other factors such as family and society, he argued, would turn aidin-dying from a personal choice to a duty.

Hunt said the requirements specifically laid out in Proposition 106 for witnesses, attending physicians and what constitutes for mentally able are all weak and allow for corruption. He said patients trusting their doctors for the best treatment will now

have to worry that their doctor will see assisted suicide as the only option, rather than prolonging their life.

Furthermore, Hunt is concerned that because the proposition only requires doctors to be present at the time of administering the medication but not during the time that the patient takes them, that the lethal drugs could be circulating throughout the state with little to no regulation.

But for the Centennial Institute, based out of Colorado Christian University, the moral half of the issue is equally as important. “(We are) called by faith to care for those in our community,” Hunt said.

The Centennial Institute works with conservatives and libertarians in Colorado to educate them on the issue and discuss faith-based arguments.

They use Pope John Paul II’s warning of the “strong against the weak who have no choice but to submit,” as a guiding point to discuss how the Proposition

creates a class labeled ‘terminally ill.’ As those with disabilities have often faced, they say, these classifications cause people to feel as a burden rather than a life to be cherished.

But, most important to the group is the idea that aid-in-dying creates a society where the elderly are no longer cared for but ushered off. They believe that a bond is created between the elderly and youth during their time of suffering.

“When people are in a tremendous amount of pain, that is an awful time,” Hunt said. “I would love to see an investment in hospice care, in palliative medicine that really improves that suffering. But, I think that the idea that doctor-assisted suicide is the answer opens up so many more problems to our society, especially among our friends in the disabled community.”

Those who support the bill argue that it is ethically just.

“This is not a left or right issue. This is not a political see ASSISTED on page 4 >>

>> DEBATE from page 1 “North Korea has been a thorn in the side of freedom,” Caro said in the conservatives’ final response.

Climate change poses the biggest external threat to the U.S., according to the progressives. Siri said that the Pentagon is on their side.

“Nuclear weapons should not be an option for any country,” said Siri as a final remark.

Education On education the students debated standardized testing, voucher programs and college affordability.

“Standardized testing is not the way we should be doing our education,” Seel said.

However, Seel also said a national standard is important for colleges, as it would decrease the disparity he feels is currently present between states.

“This isn’t something that our nation should be pursuing,” Seel said in response to a question about vouchers for public funding to be put towards private schooling. “We should be working to make sure our tax dollars are well used,” Seel said.

Conservatives responded with praise for the voucher system.

“I think that the voucher system’s great,” Caro said. “My taxes, my choice.”

Conservative representatives said the voucher system promotes competition and creates equality for underprivileged kids. “(A voucher system) will allow them to attend these prestigious universities,” Crank said.

Then, the moderators asked about the current state of student debt.

“We need to start reinvesting in higher education,” Siri said.

Conservative representatives responded that there is a monopolization of four-year universities, and questioned the ability of the government to fix higher education.

“How are we going to pay for that?” Caro asked as the moderators called time.

Economy The moderators asked the students about tax restructuring, the unemployment rate and raising the minimum wage.

“Our taxes should not be used for subsidies or welfare,”

>> ASSISTED from page 3 issue. This is an issue of compassion,” wrote Matt Larson, a 36-year-old fighting brain cancer, in a post on the Yes on Colorado End-of-Life Options website.

Julie Selsberg, First Attorney General for Colorado Attorney General’s Office has been a leading proponent of the bill after her father slowly passed away from Lou Gehrig’s disease.

“We are one step closer to ensuring that Coloradans have control over all of their health care decisions when facing terminal illness,” said Julie Selsberg, First Assistant Attorney General for Colorado Attorney General’s Office in an article for the Denver Post.

Charles Selsberg wrote a letter to legislature urging them to reconsider aid-in-dying to those suffering as he was.

He titled his letter, “Please, I want to die.” It was published in the Denver Post on February 26, 2014.

“I chose to live when I should have chosen to die, at my own hands, many months ago. Because now I can’t swallow the foods that made my mouth water or the sweets that added a few pounds to my middle,” Selsberg wrote. “It is time for Colorado to show its compassion. Legislators, you have shown mercy on

patients in pain before. Take the next step: Show mercy on the terminally ill. Please.”

For Veterinary doctors in the United States, aid-in-dying has long been a legal and common practice in their professions.

Since 1963, Veterinarians have been held to the standard of the American Veterinary Medical Association to be able to practice euthanasia, another form of aid-in-dying that differs in that the lethal medication is delivered directly to the patient.

Jane Shaw, a professor for the Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine said in everyday practice, it comes down to a question of quality of life. “(It’s) one that’s not taken lightly by either the veterinarian or the clients,” Shaw said.

Shaw has been recognized by the Colorado Veterinary Medicine Association as the 2011 Outstanding Faculty Member and is considered an expert in veterinarian-client-patient interactions, which very often includes the conversation of euthanasia.

“In the past, animals have been seen to serve a function, making the decision to put them down easier but “when you see them as a member of the family, the line becomes more blurry,” Shaw said.

Crank said. “Honestly, the free market is something that gives nothing but opportunity... Capitalism provides for ingenuity.”

In response progressives said that the U.S. may not have a fair economy.

“The U.S. is now suffering from a monopolization of industry,” Seel said. “We need to look at how to trust bust certain corporations.”

Both sides were asked about raising the minimum wage. Conservatives responded that the federal government should not be involved.

“It hurts the poorest people in America when the minimum wage is raised,” Crank said.

Progressives said there is a lot of misinformation going out about the minimum wage.

“We can’t always trust states to raise minimum wage,” Siri said, “It is not a living wage.”

War on Drugs At the end of the moderated debate each side asked the other one question. The progressives posed their question to the conservatives first: Should we end the war on drugs? “(The war) only punishes those who partake in drugs,”

Crank said.

Caro said it is a complicated issue because of the range of drugs that exist. He does not view it as a racist war or issue. Caro feels the war on drugs wastes taxpayer money.

“Everybody seems to be doing drugs,” he said. “It is a failed government program.”

Progressives were allowed a rebuttal for their question.

“This is a racist war,” Seel said.

He explained that usage rates are similar between whites and blacks, but that more people of color are still imprisoned.

Health Care The conservatives asked the progressives if they feel Amendment 69 will benefit Colorado.

“We do need to have still on-going reforms,” Seel said.

Both progressives said a single-payer health care reduces cost overall, but that Amendment 69 did not give enough specifics. Siri said that the government can still do more good than the free market.

“Sounds like a terrible idea to me,” Caro said in rebuttal.

Black Lives Matter An audience member asked

progressives if they feel groups like Black Lives Matter help or hurt the social justice movement.

Progressives said Black Lives Matter exists because of unfair treatment and distrust that has been building for decades. Seel emphasized that prejudice has been directed towards the group.

In rebuttal, Crank said there is an implication that a large population believes Black lives do not matter. He said that is untrue.

“Police officers have been brutally murdered,” said Crank near the end of time.

Audience members asked follow up questions regarding immigration, the war on drugs and Brexit. Laughter occurred when someone asked each side to state something they agree on.

“We are a campus of people who have very different ideas about politics, issues and about how we can solve those issues,” said Josh Williams, one of the moderators and ASCSU officer of governmental affairs. “I think that exposure is what we’re here for.”

Yet, even though the decision may be hard, Shaw has received little criticism for the practice of euthanasia.

“I think most people realize the gift we give animals,” Shaw said.

On top of the guidelines set by the AVMA, hopeful veterinarians at the Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital will receive pre-training of the

process of euthanasia and as a nationwide practice, are required to maintain education credits in order to keep their license.

“Veterinarians in general are very accepting of the practice of euthanasia. As a culture, as a profession, we consider it as a gift we can give our patients, the gift to end suffering.” Shaw said, talking first of euthanasia before switching her focus to the debate

of aid-in-dying.

“This is a decision not to take lightly. These decisions can be made in a thoughtful, meaningful and a healthy way.”

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.

Colorado Republican leaders respond after Trump tapes

By Erik Perovich @EAPetrovich

The last week of election news has been dominated by one thing: the Trump tapes. Revealing a glimpse into the behavior of Donald Trump behind the scenes, the tapes have prompted some prominent Republicans across Colorado and the U.S. to come out against their party’s nominee.

Darryl Glenn, the Republican candidate for Sen. Michael Bennet’s contested Senate seat, initially reacted by calling on Trump to end his bid for the White House.

In a Facebook post, Glenn said, “As a father, as a Christian, and as a Republican, I believe that we simply cannot tolerate a nominee who speaks this way

about women,” then called for Trump to step aside and instead allow Mike Pence to take up the Republican presidential ticket.

After a few days, Glenn said he invites Trump to defend his comments to win back his support.

Sen. Cory Gardner, R-CO, also called for Trump to leave the ticket and said he would write-in Pence instead.

“If Donald Trump wishes to defeat Hillary Clinton he should do the only thing that will allow us to do so — step aside and allow Mike Pence to be the Republican party’s nominee,” Gardner said.

“If he fails to do so, I will not vote for Hillary Clinton, but will instead write-in my vote for Mike Pence.”

Nic Morse, the Republican congressional candidate for Col-

orado District 2, was disturbed by the revelations made on the Trump tapes, but said he would still vote for Trump come election day. On Twitter Saturday, Morse said he resigned as the co-chair for the Larimer County Trump campaign and that his wife left as well.

“It’s easy to be quiet and go on, but the measure of a good person is knowing the time to speak up,” Morse said.

Morse said his decision to leave the Larimer Trump campaign left him with a “clear conscience” to continue his congressional race against Rep. Jared Polis, D-CO. Bob Morain, the chair of the Larimer County Republican Party, responded to the tapes in a “Letter from the Chairman” Monday. He argued that regardless of what his

detractors would wish for, Trump cannot be replaced as the nominee as ballots have already been printed and prepared to be sent out in most states with Trump’s name at the top.

“That Mr. Trump and Mr. Bush apparently thought such language and conversation were socially acceptable is not only an indictment on each of them but on our culture at large,” Morain wrote. “We have confused ‘liberty’ with ‘license,’ and the resulting licentiousness is exacting a large toll.”

Morain urged voters to still vote Republican, but said Trump is far from a good candidate. He said that voting Democrat would further “jeopardize the liberty, peace and prosperity” of America.

“Many Republicans and Democrats alike wish their par-

ties had put forth more honorable candidates, and if either party were to make a substitution, there would be much to talk about,” Morain wrote. “However, until such substitutions are made, voting Republican remains the safest course.”

Trump’s lack of support from his party has prompted him to lash out at Paul Ryan and other members of the Republican party who have criticized his campaign, blaming them partly for why his campaign is polling behind Clinton’s.

“Disloyal R’s are far more difficult than Crooked Hillary,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “They come at you from all sides. They don’t know how to win - I will teach them!”

Sign language courses to be introduced next fall

By Nataleah Small @NataleahJoy

The Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures is working to create an American Sign Language minor at Colorado State University in the near future.

Currently, four semesterlong ASL courses are offered

FILE PHOTO COLLEGIAN

at CSU. In fall 2017 two more ASL courses will be added to the program: Advanced Study of Deafness in ASL: Cultural and Linguistic Perspectives; and American Sign Language and Linguistics for the PreProfessional.

The push to create an ASL minor at the University came after Cai Hopkins, a former

student and current CSU alumnus, and Michelle Moyer, senior zoology major and current president of the Colostate Sign Club, wrote feasibility reports on adding ASL as a minor to the language department for their final projects in JTC 300. Hopkins and Moyer reported “a lot of student interest” in the minor after conducting their re-

search, Moyer said.

Deanne Seitz, an ASL instructor at CSU, used the research done by Hopkins and Moyer to advocate to the dean of the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures for the creation of an ASL minor.

Although the proposal received widespread support from students and faculty members, a lot of work still needs to be done before the minor can be created, Moyer said.

“The department is supporting this effort, aware of student interest, aware of faculty interest…but it’s going to be a couple more years down the road,” Moyer said.

In order to introduce a minor into this department, the ASL program requires upper-division culture classes that match other language programs. The two new courses that will be offered next fall will help fulfill that requirement.

In the past five years the number of ASL class sections offered at CSU has increased.

In 2011 there were only two sections of ASL I and one section of ASL II. Now, the department offers four sections of ASL I, two sections of ASL II, and one section of ASL III and ASL IV, Seitz said.

Increased student interest in studying ASL at CSU mirrors national trends. Between 2009 and 2013 the Modern Language Association reported that the number of students enrolled in ASL courses increased by 19 percent nationally, Seitz said. “(CSU students are) extremely passionate about ASL and the deaf community,” Seitz said. “Once they go beyond the first semester… they want to drink in as much as they can about deaf culture.”

As a supplement to these academic courses students can also to join the Colostate Sign Club. The club hosts deaf socials that put on activities like silent diners, deaf theater and bowling in Greeley, Hopkins said.

“In this, you’re learning about a whole sector of people you don’t know anything about,” Hopkins said.

Moyer, who has studied ASL for the past five years, said that she enjoys learning the language because it is unique.

“ASL is a very different kind of language because not only is it manual, using your hands, you can learn non-verbal communication techniques… it actually uses more of your left brain…you can incorporate more skills that you weren’t aware you had,” Moyer said.

Moyer also said

that studying ASL helps people reconsider their preconceptions about deafness.

“Most of the deaf people I’ve met don’t see themselves as disabled,” Moyer said. “They’re just different, and different is never wrong. Just because they aren’t identical to us doesn’t mean that they are somehow broken and need to be fixed.”

Hopkins said that learning about the history of prejudice associated with deaf culture encouraged her to advocate for this community.

“You don’t have to be LGBTQ to advocate for those rights, you don’t have to be deaf to advocate for deaf rights,” Hopkins said.

Brian Edwards, sociology

Increased student interest in studying ASL at CSU mirrors national trends.

major with a concentration in criminology and criminal justice, said that learning ASL has helped him gain a greater understanding of deaf culture and an appreciation of languages. Edwards attends the ASL service offered at Cross Roads Church.

“We should embrace deaf culture more and not treat it as an impairment because, as one of the church members says, ‘I am not impaired…you are because you can’t read sign language,’” Edwards said.

Alex Forseth, senior psychology major, said there is a great value to learning ASL. “Sign language is an actual language,” Forseth said. “A lot of people think it is random hand signs. No, it isn’t. Is has a structure.”

Forseth also said that he has enjoyed taking ASL classes at CSU and would encourage others to learn more about this language by looking into the program and getting involved.

“It’s a great language, just at least try it.”

University of North Dakota officials: Racially charged Snapchat photos are ‘free speech’

By Rachel Chazin

University of North Dakota officials announced late Wednesday that they concluded an investigation into two racially charged Snapchat photos, and have decided not to punish the students involved.

“After a full review of the information, the Code of Student Life, and the laws pertaining to each incident, and after consulting with General Council, (the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities) has concluded that neither incident constitutes a violation of the UND Code of Student Life,” the school wrote in a statement.

The outcome was “driven by the Constitutional protection of free speech,” but officials wouldn’t disclose details of their findings.

This investigation’s conclusion differs from similar recent cases at other universities. Last month, a Kansas State student was expelled for a Snapchat picture of her and a friend wearing black clay masks with a racially offensive caption. A student from Belmont University in

Nashville was also dismissed after a Snapchat with a violent threat toward black NFL players who had protested during the national anthem.

The two UND Snapchat incidents occurred within days of each other in late September.

The first involved three different students who allegedly locked a black student out of a dorm and took a picture on her phone with the caption, “locked the black b---- out.” And the second showed four students posing in blackface with the caption “Black lives matter.”

“As part of the conversation with student leaders, we talked about the concept of Zero Tolerance,” UND President Mark Kennedy said in a statement released following the investigation. “While I appreciate the desire for such a policy, it is unachievable under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”

Kennedy said he was aware that students and other members of the community were hurt by the incidents, and that he personally was “appalled” by the photos.

DeHerrera: I’m not voting; you shouldn’t either

By Dan DeHerrera @thedanwrites

I am not voting this November. Unless you believe any of the major candidates in this year’s election will improve our country for the better, you shouldn’t either.

I am embarrassed that our country’s highest office has devolved into what it has today.

Instead of electing officials who are fit to lead our country, our election process has become a peanut gallery where politicians whore themselves to win the favor of the American electorate.

Instead of the office of the presidency symbolizing a leader

who puts the goals of the people before their own, it is on the verge of housing a dystopian dictator, pathological liar, or two ignorant idealists. You cannot win with any of them.

An educated voter cannot realistically pick any of our candidates. Sure, every candidate in the history of our country has had flaws and weaknesses, but not on this scale. With the exception of maybe Barry Goldwater or George Wallace, I have never doubted that any major candidate could handle the job if he or she was elected. Yes, I might not have always agreed with their policies, but I was never appre-

hensive of their abilities to lead our nation.

The unbridled disaster of this election presents a unique threat to our way of life. We are a country founded on the rhetoric of those who believed in something greater than themselves.

We are stuck with a man who has no foreign policy knowledge, is by definition a racist, bigot, and sexist, and is an all-around terrible human being.

We are stuck with a woman who used a private email server while Secretary of State, gave speeches to Wall Street firms which contradict her public policies, and who took as much as

$156 million dollars of private donations while in office. Ethics do not seem to be her strong suit.

We are stuck with a man who doesn’t have an even basic grasp on one of the worst humanitarian crises in our generation, cannot name even one foreign leader he admires, and presumably does not know the name of a dictator of a country we are constantly at odds with.

We are stuck with a woman whose solution to our national debt is to forgive all current student loans, cut defense spending by 50 percent, put a moratorium on all GMOs until they are deemed safe, and who thinks that WiFi is dangerous to the human brain.

Seriously.

Please stop me if you think any one of these presidencies would be a good idea. And it now seems that people are shocked that we are left with these choices when primaries and caucuses had just under a 30 percent turnout.

This monster was built from our apathy. If not apathy, then

ignorance. Many did not take the flaws of these candidates seriously when we had the chance and now seem surprised that the elections have turned out the way they have.

If you didn’t vote in the primaries, you have no right to complain about it.

I voted for a candidate whom I believed in. Instead of wasting my time with writing in his name on the ballot, I am going to stay home.

This decision is more than casting a vote merely because I am afraid of the outcome.

I am not going to be manipulated in casting a vote this year, simply because it is my “duty as a citizen.” I vote because I believe my vote counts toward a better future for our nation, that my vote actually makes a difference. I vote because I believe in the process, and our election process is broken.

It is my hope that you do some introspection and determine whether you should stay home on Election Day too. If you do not believe in the cause, do not vote.

The new on-campus, multiuse stadium is well on its way to completion as an on-budget project that will create classroom and alumni spaces, while enhancing the student tailgate and programming experience.

Although this project will be completed in the coming year, there are still discussions taking place between student leaders, administrators and campus stakeholders in order to ensure safety, student-led program initiatives and opportunities for feedback.

The Associated Students of Colorado State University (ASCSU) is working hard to ensure that all branches of our organization are informed on the contextual knowledge of this project and the processes in which student input can be received. Our goal is to further enhance the student experience and ensure that equitable

resources are provided to all once this major project reaches completion.

We are furthering the actions that have been in place by administration to create a constructive conversation surrounding the new stadium.

Student representatives have been present on various game day committees and will continue talks with key stakeholders during this complex process.

Members of our student body should voice their questions and bring solutions to ASCSU. Continued transparency surrounding this project is what the campus community wants, and ASCSU is eager to talk about what this looks like.

ASCSU is urging students to come forward with not only concerns, but also fact-driven solutions and open ears surrounding the game day experience – everything from tailgating to parking to safety and access.

We are working on behalf of the student voice to inform and

educate about what these game day experiences will look like and how they will impact the CSU students next year, both on and off campus.

ASCSU wants to make sure that what is best for the CSU community is implemented.

Whether this means increasing conversations surrounding mobility, gathering input from students living in the residence halls, or contributing to the tailgating experience, we as campus leaders are here to advocate on behalf of students.

Our end goal is for the game day experience to be a valuable and enjoyable time for all parties. We want to remind students that ASCSU will always ensure they are heard throughout this incredibly complex process. Students should feel pride in such a large project, and excitement for what is to come. All voices are welcome at the ASCSU table where students can make a change and empower others to speak their minds.

Behind the scenes work keeps CSU volleyball running smoothly

By Michael Roley @michael_roley

When performing at a concert the musicians on stage are undoubtedly what draws the attention of most of the crowd.

And understandably so; they are talented and in the midst of putting an elegant product on display.

But it is not just the actors who are responsible for turning out a successful event that people are willing to fork over half the week’s wages to attend. The diligent workers behind the scenes are what make the show go on.

The CSU volleyball team is no different. Beyond what is seen on the court there are contributions made by individuals that go far beyond what any box score could cover. Their efforts are not noted in reporters’ post-game recaps. But without them,the entire operation and success of the program would not be the same.

The behind the scenes work begins with director of operations Bri Olmstead. Olmstead was a former standout player for the Rams who still ranks sixth all-time in program history with a career average of 1.22 blocks per set while playing two years in 2003-2004.

In 2007 she was back at CSU as a video and statistics coordinator before becoming an assistant coach from 2008-2011. Then in 2012 the director of operations position for volleyball was created and Olmstead entered the position.

Anything that happens that does not have something to do with movement on a volleyball court, Olmstead probably is involved. She runs all the administrative duties you can think of, from arranging team travel to coordinating the details of a recruit’s visit. She ensures players’ needs are taken care of and frees up time for head coach Tom Hilbert and his assistants to do what they need to do.

“She’s like running the program,” Hilbert said. “She does the nuts and bolts and the everyday operations, she’s doing it all…She does all the other stuff so that we as coaches can focus on coaching and recruiting. She essentially does everything else.”

For Olmstead, the players al-

ways come first. If they need additional food in the locker room or after a match, she is on it. If they need equipment? She can do that too.

“First and foremost, student-athletes come first,” Olmstead said. “Any loose ends, it’s my job to tie those up.”

Olmstead does not sail the ship entirely on her own. She has a student manager, sophomore Olivia Torres, who assists her.

Torres is primarily in charge of constructing and tearing down the practice setup. After seeing a posting for a work-study job last fall, the daughter of a high school coach saw the opportunity to help out the team and remain a part of the game she enjoyed.

“I wasn’t necessarily looking for a job that had to do with volleyball,” Torres said. “It kind of just fell into place because it was my first year off playing any volleyball. It worked out that I got to get a job and I got to be a part of a team again and be around something that’s been such a big part of my life.”

While Olmstead and Torres handle a lot of the administrative and other duties that take place off the court, Dana Hallisey does the same but with the more oncourt matters.

Hallisey, who was formally known as Dana Cranston before getting married this August, played for Hilbert from 20092012. She was brought on at the beginning of this season as a volunteer assistant coach, a perfect position, she said, since she’s on a “weird visa from Canada” that prohibits her from working.

Hallisey returned to Fort Collins with a yearning to coach after spending time competing for a spot on the Canadian National team at the Rio Olympics and playing overseas in France and Germany. Since leaving she maintained strong connections with the program and discovered an interest in coaching. She is learning how coaching at the NCAA level works and the time that goes into it. But right now she is a valuable resource to the team. Hallisey played under Hilbert, she knows the system and has a heck of a lot of pride in it.

There is a very fine line between being coach and friend, which Hallisey is well aware of,

but given her situation right now she is a trusty link between the players and staff.

“I can make that bridge for them,” she said. “I see the coaches’ perspective because I’m talking with them but I see the player’s perspective because I just came from that. I can be a bridge for them. It allows them to see what the coaches are thinking but then I also can be a bridge in that understands what they’re going through.”

Hallisey works thoroughly with scouting opponents and prepares scouting reports on them. It may be her first experience coaching at this level, but she has turned some heads. Most notably, the boss himself.

“Dana’s been great,” Hilbert said. “She knows the program, she knows the history of the program. She’s a Ram through-andthrough which she spreads to the new players. She’s also very, very competent as a coach. I’ve been impressed with how well she scouts opponents and with the observations she brings to our meetings.”

While Hallisey is busy scouting and piecing together ways to beat opponents, another behind the scenes person, sophomore Ryen McClain, is busy tracking data about what the Rams are doing. McClain, who found out about the stats manager job in a business class, applied (thanks to the encouragement of friends) and got the position.

Analytics use is widespread in volleyball, perhaps more so than in any other American sport, Hilbert said. They track every point of contact with the ball. They use it to find where players are finding success hitting the ball, which they use to adjust on the fly during matches.

“Ryen plays a big role and she’s quiet and just sits back and does her deal,” Hilbert said. “We look at those stats. Those are live, in-game stats that we’re looking at and making decisions on so it’s important that whoever does that is good.”

Anything that happens during a match, and then some, McClain probably has typed into the program. She does it both during matches and in practice.

Hilbert even said that it was a major factor in determining that

Volunteer Assistant Dana Hallisey serves the ball at practice in Moby Arena on October 12th, 2016. PHOTO BY LUKE WALKER COLLEGIAN

freshman Amanda Young should start at the beginning of the season. It is very complex and requires significant typing skills.

McClain came along last November and then began doing it full-time during matches this season. She is continue to improve at it just like the players are at their craft.

“I’m still learning,” McClain said. “I don’t think the learning will ever be over… I’ll get three years doing it by the time I’m a senior and I’ll still be learning new things and trying new things my senior year.”

The spotlight does not always shine bright but there is a tremendous value in the work

that gets done behind the scenes, it comes with all sorts of rewards.

“It’s awesome to see these athletes come in during the recruiting process and they’re so young when they first step on campus and get to meet the staff,” Olmstead said. “Then to watch them transition from being a high school student and making a decision to come here.

Then they’re freshman on campus and some of them are 17 years old, they are babies. You see them go through this process which is not easy by any means.

You get to see them grow, that’s really what stands out to me.”

Stevens ready to return as starting quarterback

By Eric Wolf @Eric_Wolf5

Heading into the 2016 season Nick Stevens never thought he would be in this position. The starter yes, but not like this, not coming off the bench.

But the bench is exactly where Stevens found himself after his week one performance against the University of Colorado. The junior was named the second team All-Mountain West quarterback a year ago but all it took was one game, where Stevens went 6-20 passing with two interceptions, for coach Mike Bobo to turn elsewhere at the quarterback position.

The position was set when freshman Collin Hill took over the job in week three against the University of Northern Colorado and did not look back.

Now, after Hill suffered a season ending knee injury in the win against Utah State, the Rams are back looking to Stevens to lead the offense.

“He is taking over the role like your first team quarterback

should,” Bobo said of Stevens’ approach this week after Wednesday’s practice. “He’s been taking command of the huddle, he has been getting guys going.”

When he entered the game last Saturday after Hill’s injury in the third quarter, Stevens took his first significant snaps since that week one loss to CU. He has served as the primary backup to Hill since week three and has been lauded for his approach to the game and his team after being demoted. Particularly after he came in and helped finish off the Aggies after Hill’s injury.

“I said it after the game, it’s one thing to say things, it’s one thing to live it,” Bobo said. “He has been living the right way in terms of his approach to being a member of this football team and to getting better. That’s why, I believe when he came into the game, guys had confidence in him because he had confidence in himself.”

That confidence and the progress came from the way Stevens handled the backup role.

Bobo said that Stevens was the model teammate to Hill after the demotion, while Stevens maintains that he approached everyday like he was still the starting quarterback.

For many, it was just like he never left. Center Jake Bennett said that the team never viewed Stevens as the number two guy because of his experience as a starting quarterback. When he came in against Utah State on Saturday the offense was simply looking back at the same quarterback who led the Rams to a bowl game last season.

And if anything, Stevens’ trip this season serves as the ultimate personal learning experience.

“Getting that first game out of the way definitely was big,” Stevens said. “I think I needed that. I needed to struggle a little bit and that allowed me to come back and work even harder.”

He did struggle, but then he had the chance to get out of the spotlight for a while, and his vantage point from the sideline even helped him in his preparation.

“(It was) a humbling experience,” Stevens said. “In a weird way it allowed me to sit back and take a different leadership role.

I was able to still stay positive and make little corrections that I wouldn’t have seen on the field.

Also, a little bit more of a mentoring role for Collin obviously when he was playing.”

Bobo and Stevens both said that they thought he had improved as a quarterback since week one and that this offense is far better than it was in the CU game.

Queue up Colorado State’s showdown with the No.15 Boise State Broncos in Boise, Idaho on Saturday.

The Broncos are the class of the Mountain West right now, and the game stands as another aptitude test for the CSU team this season to see just how far Stevens and the offense have come since week one.

But if there is any pressure it is not getting to Stevens. In his first practices back at the helm, Bobo said that he saw a more comfortable Stevens, who felt at

home back as the starter.

“Maybe not putting so much pressure on himself,” Bobo said. “(Just) going out there and practiced and relaxed. He’s a pretty confident guy.”

And Stevens himself said that this mid-season start certainly does not come with the kind of pressure like the Rocky Mountain Showdown did after he won the fall camp quarterback competition. “(I’m) definitely less stressed and a little less pressured,” Stevens said. “I think it’s kind of allowed me to take a step back and be a little bit more calm and poised going into the game.”

Stevens has a second chance. It did not come to him the way he wanted it too, or the way he ever expected but he has the chance, and he sounds like a guy who is more than ready to get back to leading the CSU offense.

How far that second chance will carry him remains to be seen.

CSU’s Jerrell Mock is taking Division 1 cross country by storm

By Eddie Herz @Eddie_Herz

There is nothing like a little time off.

After redshirting the 2016 outdoor track season with an achilles injury Jerrell Mock has began this cross country season in masterful manner. In his two races he placed first overall in the Men’s 8k at the Roy Griak invitational (25:06.3) and second overall in the Men’s 8k at the Washington Invitational (23.25.5) “Sometimes having that kind of break lets the body recharge and then handle a big load of training,” head coach Art Siemers said. “In Jerrell’s case he had a great summer of training and we were confident he was going to come back strong, which he definitely did.”

Mock credits his successful recovery to having prior issues with his achilles. While running for Logan High School in Logan, Utah, he was forced to go through a similar healing process.

“I had a different achilles injury my Senior year of high school,” Mock said. “It was something I’ve dealt with before so it was nice in a way that it was something familiar because I already knew the routine to get better.”

The Junior was also in familiar territory after being tagged with a redshirt following his achilles injury. Mock’s CSU career commenced by being redshirted for his freshman cross country season. This was a common move made by CSU coaching staff, as they frequently redshirt freshmen for their first seasons of track and cross country.

Unlike most, Jerrell was given the opportunity to compete during his freshman season of track.

“Though we plan on redshirting Freshman for their entire first year, we felt Jerrell was already ready to contribute to the team so we figured it would be beneficial to give him some experience,” Siemers said.

Mock really made his presence known the following year. In 2015, he was named an All-American in both cross country and indoor track before sitting out the outdoor track season. Mock finished in 19th place overall in the 2015 NCAA Cross Country Championships as well as fifth in the Mountain West Indoor Track Championships 5k.

After two extremely successful sophomore seasons, the

achilles injury Mock suffered before attempting to earn a trio of All-American honors could have been devastating for his career.

But Mock’s intense work ethic and maturity helped pushed him through this mental battle during his extended off-season.

“I look up to Jerrell a ton, he is a great friend and great teammate,” CSU women’s cross country athlete Ali Kallner said. “His work ethic is off the charts and that’s a big reason why he’s been so good.”

Once he recovered from the achilles injury, Jerrell had over a whole summer to work towards getting back to his previous level of running. Siemers believes Mock’s efforts during this time directly translated to his success so far this season.

“He was able to get really good training,” Siemers said. “He pushed his training to a new level this summer and was able to run more mileage than he did in the past. He gained the confidence needed and it carried over.”

Mock is a huge contributor to CSU’s current ranking of 21 in the USTFCCCA national polls and No.11 in FloTrack. He has emerged as the runner to beat on CSU. Though there is now a target on his back being ranked the ninth best runner in the nation on FloTrack, Mock remains undaunted.

“It’s exciting and is a good tool to see where I’m at,” Mock said. “People look at those rankings and learn the names up there. In the long run I don’t think it will change the way we do things as a team. I don’t think it will change how I go about my races too much.”

There are plenty of talented runners at the Division 1 level.

Many of them are not able to execute at their full capabilities like Mock can on race day. Mock is a runner who is always able to stick to his pre-race strategy without getting caught up in the emotions and physicality of a race.

“He utilizes his game plan every time,” Siemers said. “For example at Griak his goal was to really attack the hills later in the race and take the kicks out of some of the faster mile-type guys so that way his finishing speed could hold off those guys at the end, it worked perfectly.

At Washington it was a super flat course, really fast, and his goal was to run with Chez (Edward Cheserek) as long as he could. He see RUNNING on page 16 >>

SPORTS Thursday October 13, 2016

>> RUNNING from page 15 did that until Chez put the hammer down then his goal was to stay as close as he could and try to hold on for second against some really good runners.”

Though everything seems to come together for Mock in his races, he claims he is a nervous wreck before each race.

“I’m a basket case at the line before a race,” Mock said. “Once I can get out of that start shoot, and I know I’ve had the start I’ve wanted, I can settle in.”

Through his rollercoaster of a running career the talented third-year runner believes his team and individual progress have carried him along the way.

“The biggest thing is having a team to workout with,” Mock said. “The other thing is the sense of improving and seeing your own progress. That progress isn’t possible without a team to push each other though.”

Mock has a big challenge awaiting him this weekend as he looks to earn his third 2016 Mountain West Men’s Cross Country Athlete of the Week ti-

tle. The CSU men travel to Madison, Wisconsin for the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational on Friday, Oct 14.

The playing field is loaded with talent. Five of USTFCCCA’s top-10 teams will be competing, this includes No.1 Northern Arizona, No.2 Syracuse, No.3 BYU, No.7 Portland, and No.8 Iona.

Northern Arizona’s Futsum Zienasellassie and Syracuse’s Justin Knight are favorites to take home the gold. They were ranked No.3 and No.4 according to FloTrack’s Men’s Individiual Rankings on September 25.

For Mock, coach Siemers expects more of the same.

“It’s going to be a whole new level at Wisconsin because he’ll have a plethora of All-Americans to compete against,” Siemers said. “So now his goal is to go out there and do similar to what he did the last few times, go out with the leaders hang on as long as he can and press later in the race if he can.”

Opponent spotlight: Boise State

By Eric Wolf @Eric_Wolf5

On Saturday the Colorado State Rams make their third trip to the fabled blue turf of Albertson’s stadium as they travel to Boise, Idaho to take on the No.15 Boise State Broncos (5-0, 2-0 MW).

It is a history that has been relatively unkind to CSU as the Rams have an 0-5 career record against the Broncos, losing by an average of 26.8 points per game.

Here is a look at how Boise State stacks up.

Offensive stats: Total offense: 471.2 ypg (No.1 MW) Scoring offense: 36.8 ppg (No.1 MW) Pass: 316.8 ypg (No.1 MW) Rush: 154.4 ypg Offensively the Broncos are the best in the Mountain West as they returned plenty of top-level talent from last year’s team, as well as an electric newcomer in wide receiver Cedrick Wilson.

“They do so many things and they do a lot of things well. They have two or three great receivers, their quarterback is very sound, they are good in the offensive line,” CSU defensive coordinator Marty English said.

Reigning in first team All-Mountain West quarterback sophomore Brett Rypien returns to head the talented Bronco offense. Rypien leads the conference in almost every major statistical passing category,

including passing yards (1,415), touchdowns (11) and yards-pergame (283).

Rypien benefits from a trio of offensive playmakers surrounding him who can create mismatches all over the field.

Senior running back Jeremy McNichols is just as effective as a pass-catcher out of the backfield as he is as a runner. McNichols has run for 558 yards on 110 carries while also catching 16 passes for 216 yards. He leads the conference and is second in the nation in total touchdowns with twelve (9 rushing, 3 receiving). “(He is a) very good the running back who can do everything,” coach Mike Bobo said. “He can run, he can catch, he can protect, he probably can throw.”

And on the outside first team All-Mountain West receiver Thomas Sperbeck just might be the best wideout in the conference. The senior’s 629 yards sit atop the conference and he also has five touchdowns on 33 catches. Last year against the Rams in Fort Collins, Sperbeck caught five balls for 172 yards and two touchdowns.

“He is just an all around good football player that knows how to play the game,” Bobo said of Sperbeck.

Joining Sperbeck this season in the receiving corp is 6-foot 3-inches 185 pound juco transfer Cedrick Wilson, who is almost matching Sperbeck in production with 432 yards and five

touchdown catches of his own.

Of the team’s playmakers, Bobo said the Rams could not focus on giving one guy.

“They have weapons all over the field,” he said. “They kind of pick their poison of how they want to attack you. That’s why they are so dangerous.”

Defensive stats: Scoring: 18.6 ppg (No.1 MW) Rush: 134 ypg Total defense: 370.6 ypg While not receiving nearly as much attention as their high

powered offense, the Broncos play stout defense, especially upfront.

Boise State boasts the Mountain West’s leading —19th nationally— scoring defense at 18.6 ppg. The team also ranks second in the nation with four sacks per game.

Senior linebackers Ben Weaver and Tanner Vallejo lead the team in tackles with 39 and 31 respectively, while linebacker Darron Lee has been heavily involved in opposing team’s

backfield this season. The senior has 5.0 tackles-for-loss to go along with 2.5 sacks through five games.

Senior defensive end Sam McCaskill is another backfield force, as the first-year starter ranks first in the team with 9.5 tackles-for-loss to go with five sacks, while sophomore defensive tackle David Moa leads the team with 5.5 sacks.

Rams soccer travels to California for make-or-break weekend

By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_

With just five games remaining, times have never been more desperate for the women’s soccer team. A California road trip this weekend pits the Rams against Fresno State on Friday and San Jose State on Sunday in what will be a defining series for this year’s team.

CSU is currently tied for 11th place in the Mountain West Conference with Fresno State. The two teams, however, are only five points back from the 6th place Wyoming Cowboys and a berth in the MWC tournament. With so much uncertainty throughout the conference every team is still in contention for a playoff spot, something head coach Bill Hempen fully understands.

“The thing about the conference this year is everyone is beating everyone else,” Hempen said. “That’s a good thing for us because we’re hanging on. But it’s time for us to flip the switch here.”

There is no better time to flip that switch than on Friday against Fresno State in a game that has make or break potential for the entire season. A win pushes the Rams three points up the ladder and separates them from the bottom of the conference. A loss, on the other hand, forces the Rams to instead watch Fresno vault up the standings and gives Nevada the opportunity to escape the cellar of the MWC. Despite struggling to this point in the season, Fresno State boasts one of the conference’s leading scorers in junior forward

Myra Delgadillo. Delgadillo’s 21 points are good for third most in the conference behind two players who have already given the Rams fits this year, Jessica Brooksby from Utah State (24 points) and Lily Sender from UNLV (23 points). Having struggled against the conference’s elite already, Hempen stresses a team-wide effort to slow her down.

“Know where she is all the time,” Hempen said. “If you can identify that player and get help with (her) — and this is something we talk about with our players — so that your teammate is never caught in a one-on-one situation. Their job in a one-onone is to slow them down so that you’ve got, as I tell them, help on the way. It turns from a one-onone to one versus two and that’s

much more difficult to beat.”

Sunday’s game against San Jose State presents a different struggle for the Rams. Last year’s MWC tournament champions are led by sophomore goalkeeper Paige Simoneau. Behind her conference leading 0.53 goals against average and 0.861 save percentage, the Spartans currently sit in 5th place in the conference.

“We need to make her make the save that keeps her team in the game,” Hempen said. “Instead of making it routine, they have to be challenging. Obviously a good goalkeeper is priceless.

They can keep your team in games and win games for you.

But they can also be beaten.”

Like so many games this season the weekend series may come down to finding the play-

er who can make the play to put their team in a position to win.

The Utah States and UNLVs of the conference have found that player while the Rams are still searching. Although not having that finisher can be a struggle it also provides more players the opportunity to make a game-changing play.

“We don’t have a cleanup hitter, we don’t have a LeBron James,” Hempen said. “We’ve got a group… I tell our kids at some point every game has its moment. Who’s gonna pick that moment to shine?”

The first of two critical matches, Friday’s game against Fresno State kicks off at 3 p.m.

Mountain time.

Mia McKenzie of “Black Girl Dangerous” inspires with LSC speech

By Maddie Wright @CSUCollegian The Lory Student Center Theater was filled on Tuesday with students, faculty and community members eager for “Black Girl Dangerous” creator and self-described radical queer black nationalist feminist Mia McKenzie.

McKenzie is an award-winning writer and prides herself in being black and queer, traits often reflected in her work. In addition to writing and running the podcast “Black Girl Dangerous” and BGD Press, McKenzie currently tours universities and other venues, and CSU was one of her stops during LGBT history month and on National Coming Out Day. “It was fantastic,” said student and Women and Gender Advocacy center employee Connor McFarland. “I really appreciate Mia McKenziem and I think that having a black queer woman talk about radical feminism is really important than just some other white person.”

McKenzie has a strong, concise and clear message; her voice demands to be heard and she commands the room.

This event consisted of two main parts: a speech and a question and answer session. In her speech McKenzie discussed ten main points of advice for the audience to advance in society and to understand each other and move towards a harmonious world.

The first point was to resist liberalism. McKenzie stresses how we do not need liberal change; we need radical change.

The second point was to eliminate “tone policing.” McKenzie describes tone policing as the idea that those who are oppressed are only allowed to speak of their oppression if the tone they speak in is acceptable for those doing the oppressing.

It is important that we dismantle this idea. Primarily because it is a lie. Talks of oppression have been approached in every way from quiet, civil, polite, strong, violent and savage. The fact of

the matter is that people just do not want to listen to it and McKenzie said that is not okay.

Her third point was that allies who will leave if they get uncomfortable by those speaking about oppression are not good allies if even allies at all.

The fourth point focused on rejecting responsibility politics.

McKenzie described responsibility politics as in order to be justly protected you have to have been deemed respectable enough. We see this at times when young black men are shot by the police and only mourned in the media if they are college -bound. Everyone needs to be protected, not just those with a success story.

Her fifth point said that hurt feelings are not oppression. If one is seen as privileged in a certain area getting lightly teased is not oppression because they are still reaping the benefits of their privilege and have not suffered in the same way as oppressed people. see SPEECH on page 20 >>

CSU theater to open unusual, infamous play “Ubu Roi” Friday

By Maddie Wright @CSUCollegian

Colorado State University’s theatre production of an infamous late 1800s play will begin this week.

Directed by J. Nick Taylor, “Ubu Roi” opens Friday, Oct. 14, and runs through Oct. 23.

Preparation for this show has been in motion since February, but rehearsals have only been happening since late August.

The play itself was written by a 15-year-old boy in 1896 and was seen as so over the top that it was forced to close the same day it opened. Taylor describes it as a “problem play,” which is only the tip of the iceberg.

The play was an important part in the beginning of the avant-garde art movement. Because of its author it definitely has teenage-boy humor. Taylor described it as “organized chaos” with “a mishmash of images and situations designed to provoke an audience.”

The play is rarely even produced because of its nature. It strays from tradition and what is expected of theater, and because of this, it is iconic. It is messy, it is imperfect and it breaks the norm. There are even elements of art installation mixed into it.

It is a show about how power corrupts which is something you may not expect from a show with a poop emoji on its show poster.

Taylor even references the current 2016 presidential election as evidence on how this play is still relevant.

It is Taylor’s first show at CSU as a guest director. He raves about how great the faculty and students are. In seeing CSU’s past work, Taylor is ready to work with the talent here and create something truly unique.

“This particular piece is right up my alley in terms of aesthetic and the type of theatre I like,”

Taylor said.

According to Taylor, the faculty here is not only composed of brilliant artists and designers but also important teachers. After all, this show is a learning process for the students involved, and having devoted teachers to educate and inspire is essential.

Taylor has also made an effort to allow student input to propel the show. The students have taken their jobs seriously and have set strong goals for themselves, which in turn leads to strong, collaborative results.

Taylor said everyone has been undoubtedly committed.

This show is not an easy one to produce; it is translated from French, it is vulgar and the setting is highly unusual. The designers have to work well, and aesthetics have to match up in order to produce such an odd show. “[The play] is outrageously weird,” said fourth-year student and actor Allison Perkins. “I’m excited to see everyone’s face.”

In this show there is so much going on constantly that there is no way to be able to see everything happening at once, making it worthwhile to see multiple times. The play is not a serious one. The messages of corruption are serious and relevant, but the way it is performed is meant to be silly. The set consists of trampolines, a ball pit and a giant toilet.

“I’m excited for everyone to see the nonsense of this play,” said fourth-year student and actor Koby Adams.

The design is purposefully evocative. There is a lot of bathroom humor, including penis swords and period stained underwear. Prepare to feel disturbed, at times uncomfortable, but overall surprised with what theatre is able of producing.

>> SPEECH from page 19 The sixth point was to put the people with the most oppression in the center of the movement. Feminism is not just white women. Black Lives Matter is not just for black men; yet these are the people we see as the faces of these movements. McKenzie describes this as “trickle down justice.” It is the idea that because the people at the top of the hierarchy have justice, everyone will, and this often does not work. McKenzie uses this example: if a disabled black transgender woman got justice and equal rights, everyone will have justice and equal rights.

McKenzie’s seventh point was about how privileged people cannot navel-gaze oppression.

Acknowledging privilege is not

enough. McKenzie urges us to push back against this. We need to go deeper. McKenzie argues that we need to talk about white supremacy not just white privilege.

“It does not do just to be educated, you must act upon it,” said CSU student Sienna Huebner.

The eighth point said not to expect free education from oppressed people. It is not their job to explain the history and the modern implications of their movement. People need to take it upon themselves to educate themselves. McKenzie argues that there is no excuse in modern society to be ignorant.

The internet allows us to all be published and to publicly share our stories of oppression. And, once we get and understand this

information, encourage your friends to educate themselves as well.

Her ninth point told the audience to not speak for the oppressed. If one does not identify as queer, they do not have the right to speak on their behalf.

They may amplify the queer voice, share the voice, but they can not speak over or in place of it.

The final point was to stop quoting Martin Luther King Jr. McKenzie provides a lot of reasons for this. She explained how most modern black people do not automatically agree with everything MLK said. He was not the only one leading the civil rights movement, so McKenzie said do not quote the oppressed of the past to combat the voice

of the oppressed of the present.

MLK was a straight black cis man. The only voice he can speak to is this one. This is not to say MLK should not be valued, it is just his words should not always be accepted unconditionally.

After her hour long speech, McKenzie went into a 30 minute question and answer session where she pulled questions audience members had written before the event out of a jar.

McKenzie also made it a point, as she does in all her speeches, to answer primarily the questions of those who are more oppressed under the idea that only in a world where everyone is equal is everyone’s question and opinion equal.

Big takeaways from this question and answer session

were the pieces of advise she gave: be accountable for everyone, listen to the oppressed and those whose liberation you are working towards. Bring all parts of you and your potential intersectionality to all spaces It takes time to be fully comfortable and proud of who you are.

You have the right to be angry at times, do not hide your anger. Be fully yourself and think outside of your little convenient frame work.

Her speech ended with a standing ovation and the raffling off of six of McKenzie’s signed book “The Summer We Got Free.”

The Fort Collins Museum of Art explores the life of Frida Kahlo

By Zoe Jennings @CSUCollegian

Frida Kahlo’s self-portraits show a striking woman dressed in traditional Mexican fashion with untamed facial hair. Kahlo has become somewhat of a popular culture icon in recent times.

Her face is often seen plastered on mugs, posters and t-shirts.

The Fort Collins Museum of Art presents “Frida Kahlo: Through the Lens of Nickolas Muray,” an exhibit that will run from Oct. 7, 2016 until Jan. 8, 2017.

The exhibit features the photography of Nickolas Muray dating from 1937 to 1946.

Murray first met Kahlo when he was vacationing in Mexico. Over the years, Kahlo and Murray became close friends and lovers.

His portraits focused on Kahlo’s personal life which mostly included her Mexican heritage and her relationships.

The exhibit has two rooms that display Muray’s photographs of Kahlo. There is an area for children to play with Kahlo-inspired toys and a viewing area for the movie “The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo.” Also displayed are photographs of letter correspondences between Kahlo and Muray. Free audio commentary is available for mobile access. Paige Schartz visited the exhibit on one of its open admission days. She felt neutrally

about the exhibit after visiting it.

“The pictures were good for the 1930s,” Schartz said. “Not by today’s standards because you know anybody can take that picture. In the 1930s it was impressive.”

Louma Levin-Harris also visited the exhibit. As a fan of Kahlo she was interested in learning more about her life.

“I really enjoyed it,” Levin-Harris said. “I’ve never seen any of these pictures before and they really tell very inter-

esting stories. I learned about personal details of her life that I didn’t know before.”

The exhibit focused on telling Kahlo’s story through portraits. Kahlo believed that portraits were a good way for people to know her.

A quote from Kahlo is featured in the exhibit: “I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights I am away from you.”

According to Levin-Harris, the exhibit highlighted Kah-

lo as a person instead an icon.

She learned that Kahlo enjoyed dressing in traditional Mexican fashion because the big dresses would hid her deformed leg and simply because she liked it.

“I thought that’s kind of cool because that’s how everyone feels sometimes,” Levin-Harris.

“I like this dress because I just like it. She made it her own.”

The photographs are framed in simple black frames against brightly colored walls. Each photograph has a plaque explaining

what is happening in the picture including dates and names of the people involved.

“The pictures were great quality,” Levin-Harris said.

“They did it very simply with the frames. It really encapsulates who she is as a person, and it also showcases her in a way I have never seen before, which is very interesting.”

Due to the small size of the exhibit, visitors have the option of getting through it quickly. see FRIDA KAHLO on page 22 >>

>> FRIDA KAHLO from page 21 For others, the small size allows them to soak in the exhibit.

“Most museums would take four hours, and this would take five minutes,” Schartz said.

“I like small exhibits,” said Levins-Harris. “You come in, you come for an hour, you really enjoy it and you leave with interesting insights.

It’s very interesting but not overwhelming.”

Inez Hughes works at the gift shop of the museum. She

Daily Horoscope has observed the turn out for the exhibit’s opening weekend and listened to feedback. She estimates that there were 600 visitors to the exhibit in its first two days of it being open.

Hughes thinks that people are visiting the exhibit due to the museum’s online advertising.

“They’ve followed [Kahlo’s] art,” Hughes said. “They’ve looked her up online, and the advertising we have done has just brought them in. It’s been very exciting.”

Along with the exhibit the

museum will hold a series of social and educational events about Kahlo including educational lunches, social evenings, a party, movie screenings and a dance performance. The museum will also host open admission days.

To see the full list of activities, visit ftcma.org. The hours for the museum are Wednesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday noon to 5 p.m.

Instagram prepares for more growth

By Queenie Wong The Mercury News

When Pope Francis joined Instagram at age 79 in March, a thought crossed the mind of the tech firm’s chief operating officer. For Marne Levine, the moment made the company’s value to the world even clearer.

Visitors from throughout the world often hand the pontiff a photograph as a way to bridge a language barrier. Images, Levine noted, are the fastest way to connect and communicate with another person. And Instagram is filled with images.

“What Instagram has created is this new global language,” Levine said during a tour of the company’s new Menlo Park headquarters. “When you go on Instagram, it really doesn’t matter what your generation is, what country you’re from or what language you speak.”

Earlier this month, Instagram turned 6 years old, yet another milestone for a company that has been growing rapidly since Facebook purchased the photo-sharing app for $1 billion in 2012.

Instagram this year reached more than 500 million users worldwide, surpassing fellow social networks Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Snapchat. Three weeks ago, Instagram hit 500,000 advertisers, more than doubling the amount in six months.

“This is a platform that’s seeing a lot of usage, and it’s one that advertisers are very intrigued with,” said Debra Aho Williamson, an analyst for eMarketer. “What Instagram represents to advertisers is a fun, creative playground and a place to show off the best side of themselves.”

Mobile ad revenue for the company is projected to grow worldwide from $1.86 billion this year to $6.84 billion in 2018, eMarketer estimates.

While the tech firm has a lot

to celebrate this year, Instagram _ which ditched its vintage camera logo for a more minimalist look _ is still trying to prove it has evolved beyond just a place to share beautifully filtered photos and that it can drive sales for businesses. And as it focuses more on video, the company gets compared to its rival Snapchat, an ephemeral messaging app popular among teens.

“I think one place where Snapchat is stealing the thunder is in video advertising,” Williamson said.

Instagram released a feature this year called “Stories,” which allows users to post photos and videos that will disappear after 24 hours _ similar to Snapchat. Much to the chagrin of some users, the company started sorting photos based on an algorithm instead of chronologically.

But Instagram’s success has been undeniable, and new celebrities, such as rapper Kanye West and actor Tom Hiddleston, continue to sign up for the site every year. And as users and advertisers grow so has the company’s workforce.

In Menlo Park, Instagram employees recently moved into their own three-story office space separate from Facebook, and the more than 65,000-square-foot building reflects a tech firm where design and simplicity matters. The company now has nearly 400 employees worldwide, most of whom work in the new Gensler-designed headquarters.

In the lobby, a large illuminated Instagram logo is displayed on a white wall along with a large feed that shows videos and photos posted on the site, from breakfast foods to outdoor adventures. Inside, employees and visitors snap photos behind a large cloud, a moon or flickering stars.

At Blue Bottle Coffee, a

wall is filled with Polaroid selfies. Meeting rooms are named after popular hashtags, emojis or places such as Dogpatch or South Park, a reference to the company’s humble beginnings.

Instagram co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger were working out of Dogpatch Labs in San Francisco when they launched the app in 2010. Initially, Instagram was a check-in app called Burbn, but pivoted into a tool to share photos.

While Facebook has helped fuel Instagram’s growth, Levine said there are elements that make Instagram’s workplace culture different from its owner.

“Facebook has such a strong culture, but I think we’ve maintained the things that have made Instagram special from the beginning,” said Levine, who joined Instagram from Facebook. “That includes being community first, very visually oriented, focused on design, creativity and simplicity.”

Instagram was a smart purchase for Facebook, analysts said, because it gave the social media giant an app with younger users, a more creative and artistic place for people to communicate, and another property to sell ads. When Facebook bought Instagram, the startup only had 13 employees.

And for Instagram, the journey is far from over. As the company unveils more ways for users to express themselves, Levine said she expects Instagram will have “fuller and more complete global language” in visual communication.

“People are posting the highlights of their lives, but there’s so many more moments that make up the human experience in between,” Levine said.

“Those moments can feel really raw _ unscripted _ or it can be a story that you’re telling that is more planned out.”
