Do you believe in ghosts? There are allegedly a few hanging around Colorado State University. This may not come as a surprise to some, because this school has a long and colorful history. Four of the oldest buildings on campus have experienced many paranormal occurrences. Some people who have had to work
in the buildings after dark have said it is best not to hang around these buildings at night, because things start to get weird. Ammons Hall Now the Office of Admissions, Ammons Hall was originally built as a women’s recreational center that included a pool, sunroom and kitchen. Before the pool was filled in during the renovation, it is rumored that a female student drowned
there, and now she haunts the building along with two other spirits: a dancer and a male swimmer. People have heard wet footprints, growling, giggling and singing in the atrium. It has also been reported that the lights on entire floors have shut off randomly, which is strange because there is no master light switch for any floors. Janitorial staff refuse to clean the building after hours alone.
Anna, an admissions ambassador, said the portrait of Elias Ammons, a former governor of Colorado that the building is named after, hangs on the wall near the entrance. He said the portrait’s eyes seem to follow you around the entire room. Maybe it is just how the portrait was taken—or, maybe somebody really is watching your every move. Johnson Hall Completed in 1936, John-
son Hall was the University’s first student center. It featured a bookstore, student lounge and a large ballroom. The ballroom hosted proms and balls before being converted into a theatre where many performances happened over the years. It is believed that there is ghost of a female dancer roaming the halls, and some people have even see ACTIVITY on page 20 >>

Burglars broke into Danforth Chapel and destroyed a one-of-a-kind stained glass window Saturday night, according to Colorado State University police. The window was part of the original design of the building and featured a non-denominational artwork titled “The Genesis,” which incorporates symbols for air, earth, fire and water which are found in every faith. While in the chapel the suspects are believed to have gone through several cabinets and storage areas. According to CSU public relations site SOURCE, police believe that the incident occurred between 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22 and 5:30 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 23. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact CSUPD at 970-491-6425. The University is currently in the process of nominating the chapel, which was built in 1954, to be included on the National Register of Historic Places.

ASCSU fights game day re-park plan By Gabriel Go @rgabrielgo
The Associated Students of Colorado State University approved a resolution to negotiate the current game day re-park program for the on campus stadium Wednesday night. The resolution asked the University to compromise the current re-park program with several stipulations: the resolution asks that the North campus’ parking lots are exempt from the program, that students required to relocate vehicles are provided with free meal vouchers at the stadium on game day, and an extended bus service to parking lots until midnight. Resolution 4606 formally expresses discontent with the current game day re-parking program of the on-campus stadium and adds amendments which would make the re-park program favorable to students. The senate approved it Wednesday night by a vote of 20-0-0. The resolution describes the re-park program as, “counter-productive to the Athletic Department’s aims of increasing
student engagement—by establishing a pattern of disregarding students’ needs for those of the Athletic Department, driving a wedge between students and the Athletics Department which may lead to on-campus students leaving campus altogether on game days—defeating one rationale for building the stadium on campus.” The re-park program would require on-campus students to move their vehicles to one of three parking lots—the Westfall, South Campus and East side track lots—on Friday nights, and have to return their vehicles on Sunday nights. The Athletics Department will also provide a shuttle service for students to and from the re-park lots. Under the amended resolution written by ASCSU senator Duane Hansen, ASCSU also asks the Game Day Experience Committee and University Administration to explore a partnership with the New Belgium Brewing Company to create a bicycling event called “Tour de Football” during game days, in addition to promoting alternative modes of
transportation to the stadium. The resolution also stipulated that the entirety of the North campus’s parking lots are to be exempt from the re-park program; these parking lots include the Parmelee and Allison residence halls. Provisions were also made for disabled and handicapped students to apply for exemption from the re-park program. ASCSU asked that students who are required to relocate their vehicles be entitled to free meal vouchers at the stadium during game days as well as an extended bus service to the designated lots running until midnight. The rationale of the proposal stems from a number of concerns regarding the stadium, according to resolution 4606. The parking program was criticized for divesting student time away from academics and personal obligations in order to accommodate the parking program. There is also a concern regarding alcohol on campus, as tailgating areas would be much closer to residence halls.

The lack of promotion for alternative transportation was also critiqued in the resolution, which says that the re-park program “goes against the University’s sustainability goals and the Inter-Governmental Agreement with the City of Fort Collins.” The resolution also said that
the movement of an estimate of 8,500 vehicles around campus would present a logistical burden on the Fort Collins Police Department and the CSU Police Department. This Wednesday marked the third time that the re-park see ASCSU on page 22 >>

U.S. House of Representatives Race: ELECTION 2016
Jared Polis
VS.
Nicholas Morse
By Hailey Deaver
By Katie Linenberger
Jared Polis, a Democrat, is running for a fifth time for re-election in Congress. He has been a member of Congress since 2008 and he is the house representative for the second district which includes Larimer County as well as Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Eagle, Gilpin, Grand, Jefferson, Summit and Park counties. Polis serves on many different committees such as the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee. He is also a co-chair on the LGBT Equality Caucus and the Equal Protection Task Force of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Polis was on the CSU Lory Student Center Plaza on Wednesday to spread the word about the election and meet students. Many students asked to take selfies with him and talk about some of the issues he is working to fix. “I was a business person in the technology industry, and I really saw the importance of an education and people being able to have good jobs that pay well,” Polis said. “So, I got very involved with improving our schools, and I served on the state school board. When I ran for Congress, I wanted to be on the education committee so I could work to make college more affordable and improve our public schools.” He said he enjoys feedback from students who are being affected by issues such as the economy, taxes and the environment. “He is definitely for the people,” said Ben Blea, a freshman business major. “He is for climate change and he definitely believes in it. So, I mean he just technically believes in stuff that I want to believe in, so I support him.” EDUCATION Polis’ main concern with the status of the country is providing education to all Americans regardless of where they reside, according to his campaign website. He believes that education is the most powerful investment that America can make. He also wants to invest in infrastructure, medical research and science. Polis aims to reduce the cost of higher education and to cap the student loan interest rates and create an income-based repayment system. “Currently, the government makes a profit off of administrative student loans, so at the very least, we should decrease the interest rate so the government breaks even as opposed to having a profit.” He is also working towards making tuition cost less through open-source textbooks and providing more transferable credits from high school to higher education. Polis plans to provide more educa-
Nicholas Morse, the Republican congressional candidate for Colorado District 2, is running against Jared Polis. Morse earned his bachelors degree from Colorado State University. After graduating from CSU, he earned his Master’s in Business Administration at Grand Canyon University. He volunteered as an adviser to the Larimer County Republican Party. He moved up to Assistant Treasurer, Director of Relationship Management & Strategy. Recently, he left the Larimer County Republican Party board in order to focus on his campaign, according to his website. LIMITED GOVERNMENT Morse wants to keep government limited. On his website, he states government should only have rights as stated in the Constitution and should not be over powering the people. Morse supports the 2nd amendment. He feels that people have the right to bear arms. He believes that cutting spending on defense will not have an impact on our debt issue. Instead, he wants to take care of veterans financially and not leave them trying to make it in society. “I don’t believe any member of the military or a veteran should struggle financially after everything they have given to this country,” Morse wrote on his website. On the topic of Syrian refugees, Morse wants to put American safety first. He says that there is not good enough screening to determine which refugees should be allowed in to the United States of America. Concerning fiscal policy, he feels that spending less in government will cause people to have to pay less taxes overall. He believes that this will also help lower the current debt. ENERGY Regarding the environment, he says that it is our duty to take care of the land and its resources. “I support common sense policy that allows energy providers the ability to operate freely without fear of government oppression,” Morse wrote on his website. Morse believes that energy and energy companies are vital to our nation and especially Colorado. He says that thousands of people are hired every year at energy companies in Colorado alone. Morse states on his website that miners should not have to fear losing their jobs daily because of the government’s actions. Morse says that local governments should be allowed to restrict fracking. HEALTH CARE Morse is against Obamacare and Amendment 69 because he believes that it forces workers to pay for healthcare and lessens their paychecks because it is required by the government. He feels

tional opportunities for veterans and people of different ethnic or economic backgrounds. Polis was elected for a seat on the Colorado State Board of Education in 2000. He had this position for six years and also served as vice-chairman and chairman. Polis is also responsible for founding two charter schools, the New America School and the Academy of Urban Learning. SOCIAL ISSUES Polis is the first openly gay Congressman and he wants to stop Americans from being discriminated against for their sexual orientation or gender identity. Polis considers himself pro-choice and believes that a woman’s personal health should remain private. Polis also supports the legalization of marijuana across the country. Polis is also working towards improving immigration policies, with other Democrats and Republicans, in order to give civil rights and equality to all. TAX CODE, ELECTION SPENDING Polis wants to reform the tax code to eliminate loopholes and create a better system to benefit the middle class and small businesses. His goal is also to raise the minimum wage and ensure equal pay for equal work. Polis believes that in order to strengthen the economy there must be a strong consumer base. Polis is co-sponsoring a constitutional amendment in order to overturn Citizens United, a supreme court ruling that allows corporations to donate as individuals to election campaigns. SUSTAINABILITY Polis’ campaign also supports training for more green jobs in order to make America energy independent. He is also looking to close loopholes for the oil and gas industry in the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts. Polis also wants the tax on carbon emissions and pollution to be paid by the source rather than the taxpayers. Polis attended Princeton University see POLIS on page 7 >>

that healthcare should be an individual’s decision. By doing this, he says it will give people more flexibility in their healthcare decisions and it gives people the chance to sign up for their choice in coverage. Morse says that religion should be allowed to be expressed and practiced freely because of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. He does not want government standing in the way of that freedom. EDUCATION Regarding student debt, Morse feels that students attending trade schools should be allowed to receive financial aid just like students attending four year colleges. Morse wants to give graduates the option to pay their student loans from their gross income. Graduates who take this option would be paying their loans before the taxes are applied to their paycheck. He wants to provide employee match tax credits to those who match payments for recent college graduates if they stay at their same job for at least five years. Morse feels that decisions regarding education and its policy should be determined by the state, locally and by parents. He supports parents placing their children in the best learning environment for them in order for them to succeed. He believes in standards for educators that reward them based on success. He wants a policy that holds educators who disservice students accountable, according to his website. SOCIAL ISSUES He wants to improve the conditions that minorities are in. Morse, half Hispanic, wants to advance the minority community. He has experienced going to a school with lack of resources and wants to make a change for other minorities in similar schools that he went to. He believes that improving the minority community, the relationships between communities and police will strengthen, according to his answer to a questionnaire by 9news on their website. see MORSE on page 7>>

CITY
Sunday bus service anticipated for Fort Collins By Rachel Sauer @rachbethsauer
City Council will vote Nov. 15 on whether a Sunday bus service will be included in the 2017-2018 Fort Collins city budget. Currently, Fort Collins buses do not run 365 days a year. Transfort, which serves the Campus West area, runs Monday through Saturday, weather permitting. MAX is a bus service that runs parallel to College Avenue off of Mason Street. From 5 a.m. until midnight it runs Monday through Saturday. The cost for creating the Sunday bus service would be $1.4 million, which would include Sunday times for both Transfort and MAX, according to the Transfort website. However, this would limit the times the buses would run on the other days of the week. The budget for transportation services in 2017 is set to be $74.1 million, according to the Fort Collins government website. During the past city council meetings, local organizations and community members have expressed their desire for Sunday bus service. Hanna Johnson, Director of Environmental Affairs Associated Students of CSU, said that
Sunday bus services would help everyone in Fort Collins. “Enabling more accessibility to transit further mobilizes our citizens to participate in the local economy and also lets tourists access our Downtown businesses,” Johnson wrote in an email to the Collegian. “Having full week bus service also helps the city encourage a culture of more sustainable and community-based transportation.” Johnson said that she talked to many students about this in a letter to Council member Gerry Horak. “Many students have come to me saying that the lack of Sunday services is a real problem for them,” Johnson wrote. “Many [Fort Collins citizens] can’t get to the university, their jobs, or religious services due to the lack of Transfort services on Sundays.” Johnson has post cards in the ASCSU office that students can send to city council representative that show support for Sunday bus service. Several community members have been supportive of the service as well. Members of “Sunday Service Now!,” a coalition of 13 local organizations advocating for the Fort Collins Sunday bus service, led a demonstration last Tuesday before the council meeting.

Members of the coalition stood outside the building with signs. They entered the meeting, wearing pins that said “Sunday Service Now!” and advocated for this service to be included in the 2017-2018 budget. Members of “Sunday Service
Now! Coalition” have been attending council meetings since September. Cheryl Distaso, coordinator of the Fort Collins Community Action Network, wrote a letter to the Coloradoan asking the public to get on board with advocating
for Sunday bus service. In the letter Distaso discussed the benefits Sunday bus service would have on the community. “There are quantitative aspects of 67.11 [Sunday service bussing] that would benefit our see BUS on page 7 >>

‘Reframe Disability’ campaign kicks off on Plaza By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98
The CSU Ability Club and the Delta Alpha Pi Honor Society promoted their Reframe Disability campaign on the Lory Student Center Plaza Wednesday. The campaign is part of the National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The organizations passed out pamphlets about the campaign and t-shirts with the slogan “Disabled is not a dirty word - Reframe Disability” across the front. Joe Tiner, president of the CSU Ability Club, said the campaign aims to start conversations about disability rights. “We’re hoping just to show that there’s nothing wrong with saying the word ‘disabled,’” Tiner said. “It’s a term that has a lot of stigma around it. People don’t want to use it. They want to find other terms to (describe their disabilities). We’re trying to say there’s nothing wrong with this
(word). It can empower you. You can hold it as an identity.” Tiner said the idea for the Reframe Disability campaign came from the discussion of disability rights in the 1970s. “Last year, the former president of the Delta Alpha Pi Honor Society and I wanted to ... start the conversation on, ‘How do we reframe disability? How do we make it an identity? How do we talk about it as a positive thing, not a negative thing?’” Tiner said. Tiner said the Reframe Disability campaign aims to challenge people to rethink the way they perceive disability, and to see disability as positive instead of negative. “It’s just seen as another part of the human condition, part of diversity, part of who we are,” Tiner said. Tiner said the CSU Ability Club tries to campaign for different disability issues each year on see RECLAIM on page 7 >>

Increased bus travel will also lighten the burden on our roads, reducing the cost of road repair.” She also wrote that the bus service would promote an all-encompassing community. “Sunday bus service will also make us a more inclusive community, providing basic bus service for seniors, people with disabilities, and people who are transit dependent,” Distaso wrote. Fort Collins residents desire a Sunday bus service which would cost the City of Fort Collins $1.4 million dollars. (Ryan Arb| Collegian) Michael Devereaux, president of the local pro-transit disability advocacy organization called Barrier Busters/ Public
Action Transit Group, encouraged citizens to urge the city council members to fully fund the Sunday bus service in a letter to the Coloradoan. “(Members of the BB/PATG) feel that Sunday Transfort service is critical for Fort Collins’ social, economic, and environmental sustainability,” Devereaux wrote. “People with disabilities, people who are elderly, and people who are transit dependent are trapped without transportation on Sundays.” He also wrote that the Sunday bus service would promote an inclusive community. “When Transfort doesn’t operate, many residents of Fort Collins are separated from their community,” Devereaux wrote. Julie Ellis, the Fort Collins City Clerk, said that the first reading of the proposal for the service is on Nov. 1, 2016 and the second reading is Nov. 15, 2016.

>> RECLAIM from page 6 campus. Last year, the club’s campaign slogan was “hhis is what disability looks like,” which Tiner said aimed to start discussions about the various forms disability can take. “This year we’re going with the idea of ‘disabled’ is not a dirty word, saying that it’s okay to say you’re disabled, you have a disability, it’s not bad,” Tiner said. “Having a disability myself, I find a lot of pride in saying I’m disabled.” Drew Menasco, president of the Delta Alpha Pi Honor Society, said his involvement with the campaign aims to reclaim the word “disability.” “(CSU Ability Club) were doing Reframe Disability to kind of bring back the word ‘disability,’” Menasco said. “Disability is in a lot more places than you imagine, like ADD to being a quad-
riplegic, PTSD. There’s a whole realm of disabilities, visible disabilities, physical disabilities. It’s a lot more common than you think.” The Reframe Disability campaign currently does not have any future events planned for the rest of the month, but the club leaders are hoping to host more events in the future to raise awareness about disability. “I know next semester we’re going to try to get into a couple classrooms and talk with students and let them ask questions,” Menasco said. “People just don’t really know what to ask, (but) any question is really a good question. I don’t really worry about people being rude because a lot of people don’t really know how to approach the situation. Just ask.” Haley Candelario can reached at news@collegian.com

OPINION Thursday, October 27, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
We are a culture, not a costume The President’s Multicultural Student Advisory Committee With Halloween approaching you either have a costume ready or need to pick something out A.S.A.P. You need a costume to match how creative and amazing you are. A costume to impress your friends. As fellow CSU students we hope you’ll also weigh one more factor when choosing what to wear this weekend – does your costume actually perpetuate cruel stereotypes that are harmful to other people? If so, we ask that you think twice and be respectful. “We’re a Culture, Not a Costume” is a nationwide campaign initiated by students at Ohio University. This campaign spread awareness at OU about the negative effects of dressing up as another ethnicity or representing another demographic for Halloween. Here at CSU, we’re spreading that same message to bring awareness about this topic to our campus. Why is it offensive? CSU has a diverse student, faculty and staff body from many different cultures and backgrounds – that’s one of the best parts of an academic community like ours. We have an opportunity to learn with and from people who may not look like us, believe the same things we do, or share one history and culture. Along with that diversity comes a need for all of us to respect different cultural (including gender identity, disability, ethnic, and religious) backgrounds to create a campus that is safe and welcoming for all people, which means we should not mock any identity. It is also important to know that you can appreciate a culture without appropriating it. Picking an ethnic costume for the sake of humor is appropriation-you are picking elements of the culture and either mocking it or reducing its significance. To help differentiate between appreciation and appropriation consider asking yourself these questions: “am I reducing this to a fashion
statement? Are people of this culture the ones who are profiting off of this? Am I in an environment where this is appropriate?” And no, it does not matter if you have an African American, Asian, Mexican, Native, disabled or gay friend who says it’s OK for you to dress as another culture or who says they do not mind if you dress as their identity. If you are planning on wearing a costume that represents another race or underrepresented identity in public, you will likely come across a person from that ethnicity or background, not just your friend. When students dress up as another race, the intent is often to shame or mock that ethnicity, culture or identity they are dressing up as. Consider religious costumes and how tra-
“It is also important to know that you can appreciate a culture without appropriating it. Picking an ethnic costume for the sake of humor is appropriationyou are picking elements of the culture and either mocking it or reducing its significance. ”
ditional symbols such as tattoos or significant markings are not ok to use. Many ethnicities have been historically oppressed. Others have high rates of sexual assault. Others continue to struggle every day for basic civil rights and human dignity. Turning someone’s culture into a costume may seem harmless, but in reality making light of someone’s identity and culture perpetuates harmful racist and sexist stereotypes, and makes people of different races and identities feel unwelcome and unsafe in our community.
If you’re not sure whether your costume crosses that line, just remember this: It is NEVER acceptable to paint your face any color to represent another race or culture. No, do not paint your face black for that ghetto-themed party you were invited to (or even go to a party with that theme). No, do not paint your face white because you want to dress as a geisha. No, do not paint your face red with war paint because you’re dressing up as American Indian for the night. No, do not paint a bindi on your face and dress as Eastern Indian. All of these infringe upon cultural, ethnic and religious identities. It does not matter if you’re deliberately setting out to mock an entire group of people or if it happens by accident because you didn’t realize your costume was offensive. Even if the intent is not to bring harm or insult, it may do just that. Which means the impact of that harm is much more significant than the intention behind the costume choice. Please use good judgment when choosing your Halloween costume. Please avoid choosing a costume that can be sexually, racially or ethnically offensive. This includes people of color dressing up as white. It goes both ways. Additionally, please refrain from dressing up as members of LGBTQ+ or disabled community. These are not ethnic or religious groups of students, but it is just as offensive when you want to dress as someone’s sexual identity or highlight people’s disabilities for a Halloween costume. So when is it acceptable to paint your face? What other creative ideas exist out there? A whole lot, folks. When you want to dress up as a member from the band KISS, paint your face black and white in metal awesomeness. Paint your face blue and be a member of the Blue Man Group for a night. When you want to be the witch from Wizard of Oz and go all out with the see COSTUME on page 22 >>

Cross Country ready to battle for Mountain West crown By Eddie Herz @Eddie_Herz
The Colorado State men’s and women’s cross country teams are back in action on Friday to battle for the Mountain West crown. The CSU women have not captured a Mountain West title since 2007. The men have never won the Mountain West, but have the best chance they’ve had since transitioning from the WAC. The 2016 Mountain West Pre-Championship Men’s Cross Country Coaches’ Poll picked the Rams to finish first in the upcoming meet in Idaho. Boise State, who will be hosting the meet, comes in at a close second with 41 points to the Rams 48. Defending champions Air Force sit in third place with 40 points. The Rams anticipate these will be the teams duking it out for the championship.
“We feel this is the year we control our own destiny,” head coach Art Siemers said. “We just have to go out there and compete as a unit. If we do that we’ll do really well. It’s not about just Jerrell or Jeff or Grant it’s about can the team stay close together. If they stay close together then we’re going to be pretty tough to beat.” The men have recently been ranked No.19 in the nation according to USTFCCCA after a performance in which they defeated 10 ranked teams at the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational. Jerrell Mock once again was the first Ram to finish. His time of 24:24.7 earned him 29th place individually. Grant Fischer was close behind him in 30th place with a time of 24:26. They have firmly established themselves as a dominant one-two punch for the Rams as of late. “It’s definitely the best competition we’ve had, so that pre-
pares us well for conference,” Fischer said. “We are in a good spot. Our goal going into Wisconsin was to be in the top 10. We did it, it wasn’t glamorous or anything but we got it done. We had a couple of guys have rough days but other guys rallied. It was a good team effort. It showed the depth of our team.” Though the men were not able to win conference last year, Mock took home the individual title. So far, he has been even more dominant this season than last. He has finished first for the Rams in each of the last three meets. Back to back individual conference wins are in his sights. “He’s the defending champion so I know he wants to defend his crown,” Siemers said. “Jerrell is consistent so a poor performance for Jerrell is still outstanding. We know he’s Mr. consistent, we expect nothing but that from him.” The women’s squad checks
in at fourth place in the 2016 Mountain West Pre-Championship Women’s Cross Country Coaches’ Poll. Their 71 votes trail Air Force (81), Boise State (87) and New Mexico (100). “On the women’s side we’ve been training really, really hard all year,” Siemers said. “Probably underperforming in the races but this crew is ready to go. They have looked so strong over the last few weeks. They’ve really come together as a team. We just hope to place a solid third and go to regionals and see if we can upset Utah or BYU and sneak into the NCAA championships.” The women are coming off of a 23rd place finish out of 42 teams at Pre-Nationals. Janelle Lincks led the Rams in 54th place, crossing the finish line in 21:02.6. Ali Kallner was the fourth Ram to finish, earning 159th place. As a true freshman last season, Ali was All-Conference and finished first for the
Rams at the Mountain West Championships. “I think we all felt a little bit tired at Pre-Nats and have a lot more in us than we showed,” Kallner said. “We definitely were not satisfied with our finish and want to make up for that at conference.” If everything comes together for both teams, they each may be competing in the NCAA Championships in a few weeks. “The hope is we go in and win it,” Fischer said. “I think everyone is on the same page there. We just have to take care of business.” The Mountain West Cross Country Championships will be held this coming Friday at the Falcon Crest Golf Club in Kuna, Idaho. The women’s 6k race is slated for a 10 a.m. MT start. The men’s 8k will begin at 10:45 a.m. MT. Eddie Herz can be reached by email at sports@collegian.com

The 13th Floor Haunted House lives up to the hype By Maegan Garcia @maeganngarcia
Denver’s 13th Floor Haunted House is one of the most famous haunted houses in the United States. It is often referred to as Colorado’s best haunted house. After checking it out it is hard to disagree with all of the hype that the 13th Floor has created. The 13th Floor Haunted House provides a unique experience. To call it simply a haunted house would be selling it short because the 13th Floor is more than just actors in scary costumes jumping out at people. Every detail is paid attention to leaving nothing to be made up by the imagination. The extremely detailed props and sets make everything seem all the more realistic, which heightened the experience. This is accompanied by accurate and also equally detailed costumes for the actors to wear, which ensures that every actor that you come across is able to scare you time after time. The close attention to detail really stands out in comparison to other haunted houses, which often include costumes that are obviously fake and sets or props that look nothing close to real. These little nuances add up in
the long run making for the best haunted experience that one could possibly have. These realistic details are what makes the 13th Floor the best in haunted house Colorado. The most common detail that the crowd commented on and loved was timed sound affects that did not sound recorded or fake and that went along with movements or gestures that the actors did. This included slashing noises as an actor swiped a knife around, accurate sounds to accompany weapons and loud noises or lights that timed perfectly with an actor jumping out at you. Do not attend the 13th Floor Haunted House if you think your heart cannot handle startling jump scares because loud sounds and bright lights and actors in an extremely detailed costumes terrified many of the guests and made them run for their lives on more than one occasion. This thrill is what made every turn of every corner more and more exciting. Actors at the 13th Floor Haunted House are highly rehearsed and know exactly what to do to get the best scare. At many haunted houses actors are allowed to apply for the job like anyone else would apply for
a normal job and then simply show up and begin scaring after putting together a simple costume. But that is not the case at the 13th Floor Haunted House. Actors go through an intense rehearsal process and then are given a character to play. The actors also have to rehearse for the haunt season; they are not allowed to simply try things out as they go along and hope they work like most actors can in lesser quality haunted houses. Something that also stood out was that the haunted house did not just appeal to one common fear. Other haunted houses will only focus on zombies or a similar theme. As you walk through this haunted house, you go through three different areas or “attractions” that each have a different theme. The first one, “Slasher Remix,” takes a trip through the slasher movies featuring famous killers such as Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees. Running for your life while being chased at knife point by a famous killer is something straight out of a nightmare. The second attraction, “Undead: Abomination,” focuses on the zombie craze that has taken over haunted houses and people’s worst fears. The last attraction,
PHOTO COURTESY OF THIRTEENTH FLOOR ENTERTAINMENT GROUP
called “Cursed: The Ritual” focuses on demons, werewolves, voodoo and everything in between. The haunted house’s website challenges guests in this attraction, saying “can you resist the call of the voodoo priestess-
es, or will you be called into the order of the ritualistic, cursed werewolves like so many before you?” Although the 13th Floor Haunted House does not actually travel through 13 floors like see 13th FLOOR on page 20 >>

Student starts ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ troupe By Collin Orr @CSUCollegian
Since its release in 1975, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” has
solidified its place in film history as a cult classic like no other cult classic. It has generated fans of all ages and backgrounds that
have such a pure dedication to the movie they have transformed the musical comedy horror into something that could be called
a new form of theater; forming troupes to perform the scenes live along with the movie, shouting out hilarious responses to lines from the movie in unison and dressing in drag. This tradition is seen around the nation and Fort Collins is no exception. The Late Night Double Feature is Fort Collins’ very own “Rocky Horror Picture Show” performance group. The group, originally dubbed as Fort Collins Favorite Obsession, was Founded in August 2014 by Arianna Casey. Casey, a medical anthropology major in her senior year of study at CSU, was originally a member of Denver’s Rocky Horror acting troupe “Colorado’s Elusive Ingredient.” Casey was first captured by “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” when she was a high school student at Lakewood High in Denver. She said that the movie “just gave (her) purpose to keep going with life.” The movie was shown every month in Denver and Casey attended religiously, saying that she “found her identity in Rocky.”

Casey joined the cast when she was 18, working her way up to play every character in the movie except for Brad Majors. Casey said that she’s “found a piece of (her)self in each character,” although her favorites to play are Frank, Riff Raff and Magenta. Casey moved to Fort Collins to attend CSU but stayed a part of the Denver cast. After some time Casey decided to get out of the Denver scene but could not quit Rocky because “it’s in (her) blood.” After making her decision Casey contacted some of the leaders in the Denver cast and they told her that they wanted a sister cast in Fort Collins; thus, “Fort Collins Favorite Obsession” was born. Casey contacted a couple of friends and put out fliers, hoping to generate a cast. She kept herself busy “promoting, directing, teaching everyone individual parts, talking to theaters and doing everything by (her)self.” Now, with an evolving cast and an increased performance range, the group has decided to change its name to The Late Night Double Feature and has see HORROR on page 20 >>

A guide to escape rooms in Fort Collins CULTURE & COMMUNITY
By Seth Bodine @sbodine120
A locked room, 10 people and one hour; these are the three components of escape rooms, a popular interactive game that locks participants in a room and tasks them with solving riddles and puzzles in order to escape. The thrill comes with the pressure of solving the puzzles in an hour or less. If the time runs out, the game is over. For this reason escape rooms are known for their difficulty, with small percentages of participants winning each game. Escape rooms are a popular trend with a total of 30 across Colorado according to the escape room directory. There are four running escape rooms in Fort Collins, each with unique features and stories. Each room is riddled with puzzles, and nothing is as it seems. Here is everything you need to know about the escape rooms in Fort Collins. The rooms are listed in no particular order, with no spoilers of stories or puzzles of the games. Enigma Escape room Location: 151 S. College Ave Cost: $26 per person Players: 2-10 Room theme: The missing scientist
Website: www. enigmafortcollins.com/ One of the first in Fort Collins and Colorado, Enigma is a classic-style room. Once all the players are gathered you enter a small room that might look similar to your grandparents’ house. The game does not hold the players hand and trusts in the team’s intellect. Not much guidance is given except for a note on a table that introduces the story and the goal in order to escape. Unlike some rooms, all the items inside are interactive. Enigma owner Matthew Sisson described the room as a living museum. “You usually go into a museum and you can’t touch anything,” Sisson said. “With an escape room, you’re walking in and everything is fair game.” Fort Collins Escape Room Location: 4025 S. Mason Street Cost: $24 Players: 2-8 Room theme: Escape from the machine Website: https://fortcollinsescaperoom.com/ If you are looking for another classic-style room, Fort Collins Escape Room is the place to look. There is a heavy emphasis on creating a vintage feel with the room decorated with antique furniture and clocks. The room is more forgiving for those who
get stuck, and give clues to guide their way. According to their website the goal of the room is to offer something that is challenging and highly entertaining. ConTRAPtions Escape Rooms Location: 3720 S. College Ave Cost: $26 on weekdays and Sunday, $29 on Saturday Players: 2-10 Room theme: Mafia room, The Koor-I-Noor Heist Website: https://escape.place/ The newest room in Fort Collins, ConTRAPtions puts a large emphasis on technology between its two games. This brings a unique twist to the typical escape room formula. The heavy emphasis on technology brings a new angle to the puzzles in the room. Both rooms involve automation, sensors and wires. Stories are one of ConTRAPtions’ strengths. The recorded voices of a mafia boss or sassy AI brings immersive qualities to each room. The room is beginner-friendly and gives audio clues for those who are stuck. “When people walk away happy … that’s when we know we’ve done our job,” said ConTRAPtions co-owner Abigail Dalton. Somewhere Secret Location: 222 Walnut Street

$25
Cost: Suggested donation of
Players: 2-8 Room theme: Alchemist room Website: http:// somewheresecret.com/ While the door is not locked in this game, Somewhere Secret pays specific attention to the feel and atmosphere of the game. Cory Storb, co-creator or the room, said she spent a couple of months just searching for a room that had the right feeling. The location, upstairs of a historic antique shop in Old Town, creates an authentic feel to the room. Ev-
erything in the room is unique and hand-chosen. “The feel and the aesthetics is really important to me,” Storb said. “I’m pretty picky about what I put in there.” The goal is not to escape but to find a map hidden in the room. If the team succeeds at solving the puzzle, the game does not end. The team is given a map with a clue to a treasure hidden somewhere in Colorado. For the best atmosphere and experience, schedule to play at night. Seth Bodine can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com

Soul Train – A sustainable flower review
Presented by: Kind Creations When Organic Alternatives was founded, the owners had one thing in mind: “sustainable quality for the Front Range.” This quote has become the cornerstone of what makes Organic Alternatives the outstanding dispensary it is.The organic nature of their products starts with sustainable energy. Alternative wind turbine power juices their production facilities with ample amounts of electricity – 100 percent of their power to be exact – a far more sustainable practice than most other operations around the state. When it comes down to how the product is grown, it is not hard to guess that they use all organic nutrients for the plants. The whole operation, from head to toe, including the personnel, is what sets Organic Alternatives on a pedestal higher than most. They even cure their harvest for up to twice as long as some of the competitors on the market, making Organic Alternatives a destination on most people’s version of a ‘Colorado bucket list.’
Soul Train Flower (Neall Denman | Collegian)
While concentrates are the preferred realm for me, it is understandable that most people also want to see other types of reviews. So, I am here to bring you a flower review of Soul Train. It is the strain of a Sativa dominant hybrid hitting the charts at 22.29% THC. I decided to go with an “oil drum” piece – the “oil drum” percolator is a telling sign that the piece was made by the great folks over at Kind Creations. The oil drum to ten arm percolation on the piece was complemented by a gently bent neck, making sure that the choppy waters generated from the piece’s function will not enter one’s mouth. Outstandingly smooth pulls from the oil drum piece made it clear as to why employees from Kind Creations suggested it to me for this review. The smooth, effortless function of the piece coupled with the sour and citrus tones from the flower make the immediate cerebral, body buzz of the Soul Train, which has become one of my favorites. Despite the flower consisting of mostly Sativa genetics, such as Lemon Thai Oil Drum to Ten Arm Kind Creations Piece and Trainwreck, a relaxing (Neall Denman | Collegian) body buzz can be noticed. The stress relieving and anxiety depleting Soul Train left me wanting more. I felt uplifted and creative from the cerebral buzz. I found that I really enjoyed the body buzz this strain offered – normally something reserved for Indica dominant strains or hybrids. The worst part of this strain was the hunger and dry mouth it provoked, which is not always a negative, it just depends on personal preference. My favorite part of the strain had to be the creative and uplifting cerebral buzz it gave me while also tasting sour and earthy. Oh, and the sour lemon smell produced from burning the flower also became one of my favorite aspects of this strain. Overall, I give the flower an 8/10 leaves. Make sure to cross-off Organic Alternatives from your ‘Colorado bucket list’ and to grab the Soul Train Sativa-hybrid (running at $60.00 an eighth for recreational customers).

CSU student tells scary stories from his job as an exterminator By Cory Bertelson @CSUCollegian
CSU student Nick Visocky does not have an average job like working at a dining hall serving food. Well, he did, but he decided to quit and take up a new line of work; one that offers some unusual stories about Bibles, stun guns and supernatural stuff. Visocky is currently pursuing his second year studying criminal justice. “I’ve been around CSU all my life, and to finally experience it as a student is really cool,” Visocky said. When Visocky is not in class or doing homework he is navigating maze-like houses or excavating crawl spaces in boiler rooms. If you have not guessed it yet Visocky works as an exterminator. When the job opportunity came available at James Pest Control and he was asked whether he would take the job, he casually responded, “I’ve never done this before, but I’ll give it a try.” “It’s pretty cool,” Visocky said. “I get to experience a lot of weird things people wouldn’t normally see.” When Visocky heads off for a job he rarely knows the circumstances or, for that matter, the expected outcome. Dealing with the unknown is a daily theme in this line of work. There are many
different calls that send Visocky to empty houses and hotels. “It’s definitely fun though,” Visocky said. “With every job you do, there’s always something different.” Some days Visocky will drive around to different houses that are owned by realtor companies. These houses have not been rented out for some time, making them empty and almost abandoned. “These jobs are the scarier ones.” Visocky said. “Sometimes you’ll encounter doors that are locked randomly even though it’s supposed to be an empty house. In some cases, I’ve heard footsteps and voices after it being super quiet, and I think to myself, ‘what’s going on? Am I the only one in here?’” Visocky said he also experiences weird occurrences at hotels. “Hotels are a whole other beast,” Visocky said. He was doing a hotel job one time when he found a Bible sitting on the bed. Taking a closer look, he saw the pages were wrenched apart. “It was like the Bible was just open and someone ripped the middle fifty pages out,” Visocky said. “Strange stuff...” Visocky does a route every Sunday through Denver that deals with different hotels. He

mentioned a peculiar story that happened to him just the other day. “I checked out the trap station outside of one of the hotels,and I walked around the corner, and just sitting on top of it was a stun gun and an empty crab leg.” Visocky said. “I was a little worried. I wondered what this is doing at my station in the middle of Denver in this hotel.”
Visocky said that he does believe in spiritual and supernatural things. “One day, I went into this extensive house on the outskirts of town, which was empty, and it had some unusual floor plans,” Visocky said. “In the garage, there was a descending staircase that looked like it went to another front door. I thought this basement was another unit,
so I knocked, nothing, just two locked doors.” Later, he heard a door close shut behind him and thought it was the wind. Although he has not experienced any actual ghost sitings or crazy spiritual happenings, Visocky said, “I’m hoping one day.” Cory Bertelson can be reached at news@collegian.com

Real-life scary stories: Five unsolved murders in Northern Colorado By Sarah Ehrlich @SarahEhrlich96
The information for this article was collected from The Coloradoan’s archived articles and the Larimer County Coroner’s Office. Fort Collins, voted one of the best places to live by Forbes magazine, has another side you may have never have noticed. The city has a relatively low crime rate, which is why it is considered a very safe and prosperous place to live and work. However, every city has a dark underbelly of unsolved crimes and Fort Collins is no different. For such a charming city brutal crimes seem to come as a rather big shock to Fort Collins residents, but you never know what people are capable of. Check out these Fort Collins cases that have gone cold: Old Main Arson, 1970 The Old Main was the first classroom built on campus and was home to many important classes and concerts and was a mainstay to faculty and students for 92 years. But, on May 8, 1970, the building mysteriously went up in flames leaving nothing but ash and rubble in its wake. Perhaps a Vietnam War protester was responsible. Perhaps it was a prank gone terribly wrong. Maybe it was just faulty wiring. No arrests were ever made, and the arsonist still remains faceless.
Peggy Hettrick, 1987 In 1987 Peggy Hettrick’s body was found dumped in a field in southern Fort Collins. Police questioned 15-year-old Timothy Masters who saw the body earlier that day. Thinking it was just a mannequin left as a prank, Masters went on about his day. After graduating high school and serving eight years in the Navy, Masters was honorably discharged and immediately arrested for the
Fort Collins, voted one of the best places to live by Forbes magazine, has another side you may
murder of Hettrick. He was sentenced to a life in prison without parole. However, in 2008, DNA showed that Masters’ was, in fact, not the killer. No arrests have been made since and this case remains unsolved. Anthony Mackey, 1991 This elderly gentlemen was being taken care of by his niece and college-aged son. Months before his death Mackey suffered a blunt trauma to the central nervous system, rendering him bedridden and completely helpless. He suffered paralysis and apha-
sia, making him a perfect victim. At the time of his death an autopsy report revealed he had been strangled. No arrests were made. Makes you question the people who are closest to you, doesn’t it? “Baby Faith”, 1996 In August of 1996 two boys were playing on the shoreline of Horsetooth Reservoir when they discovered a plastic bag floating under the surface. Inside of it was the body of a newborn baby girl. She was born just days before the finding. This unidentified baby, nicknamed “Faith,” was abandoned by her parents who were never found. There is a gravestone in the corner of a Fort Collins cemetery that reads “Baby Faith-God Loves You.” William Connole Jr, 2015 This is a fairly new case that happened a little over a year ago. William Connole, 65, was standing on a street corner in Loveland when a vehicle pulled up next to him. The perpetrator shot Connole, killing him instantly. Apparently, the shooting went unwitnessed, leaving the killer free and in the clear. Police have no motive for the shooting; it could be anything. Did Connole have enemies? Perhaps he was mistaken for someone else. The unidentified shooter remains at large, hopefully not looking for another vendetta. Sarah Ehrlich can be reached at news@collegian.com

>> ACTIVITY from page 1 heard her footsteps and singing. There is an uneasy feeling when entering this building, especially in the basement area where there are abandoned rooms and a hallway plastered with old audition posters. Melissa Edwards, assistant director of OURA, who’s office is on the third floor, said she had a strange experience just a few days ago. “While I was in a meeting, we all heard a crash coming from my office,” Edwards said. “When I went in there, everything on my window had been knocked down. The windows were completely shut. There was no draft. It was as if someone just swatted everything off.” Other employees have also reported feeling the wind being knocked out of them while opening certain doors on the third floor. Centennial Hall Now the Office of Financial Aid, Centennial Hall was built in 1950 and was used for student recreation and campus conferences. Employees have claimed to have heard footsteps and to have seen dark figures out of the corner of their eyes. The faculty even had to bolt cork boards to the wall because they kept randomly falling down. These occurrences usually happen after hours. With the current construction going on, these poltergeists probably will not be too happy. The spirit’s identity is speculated to be that of architect Eugene Groves or a student from Braiden Hall. Student Services Building Perhaps the most interesting of these haunted buildings is the Student Service Building. Built in 1948, it was originally Braid-
en Hall, a men’s dormitory. This building has a pleasant art deco design on the outside, but on the inside, it is a maze. The building was the final project of architect Eugene Groves who designed 11 other buildings on CSU’s campus. After this project was finished, Groves was admitted to an insane asylum. It was revealed that he was planning on murdering his wife and then burying her in the basement. The bizarre floor plan of the building seemed to greatly disturb the mind of the architect. While exploring this building everything seemed a little off. There was a feeling of unease as I ventured through narrow stairwells, two of which led to nowhere. The building contains half floors making it difficult to make your way from one side of the building to the other. Amanda Burton, who works in the Office of Engagement, said her former boss experienced something quite strange in this building. “He was walking the halls one evening and found a room with just a microwave in it,” Burton said. “He was unable to ever see or locate that room again. He may have just been tired, but that’s pretty freaky to me.” Mahdi Omar, an employee on the third floor, has vowed never to work after hours. “The way people describe this building and the way it’s a maze inside, it makes everything creepy,” Omar said. “I’ve stayed pretty late after hours, and I won’t do it again. It feels too weird.” From strange sounds of footsteps and singing to actual ghost sitings, it is safe to say CSU has a spiritual presence.
>> 13th FLOOR from page 10 some people commonly assume, it makes up for it by appealing to all common fears, such as snakes, spiders, roaches, giant lizards and more. Chelsi Lawrence was waiting in line for just over an hour and was getting nervous as she approached the entrance. “I came here like four years ago, and the past two years, and now here I am shaking getting ready to go in again,” Lawrence said. CSU freshman, Matt Osborne, went through the haunted house as well. “I don’t necessarily know if it was as scary as I expected,” Osborne said. “Everyone made it out to be this terrifying thing that no one could finish all the way through, but it was really well put together to make up for that.” Nicole Hughes, a high school student who had just finished the haunted house, was crying and laughing at the same time as she left the haunted house being chased by a man with a chainsaw. “I’ve never been to a haunted house before,” Hughes said. “That was so bad. I cried the whole time.” Although it was scary, Hughes said she will attend more haunted houses. “Oh, yeah,” Hughes said. “I want to go to another one now. It was so fun.” Regular admission for the haunted house is on the pricier side at $29.99. You can also pay $39.99 to have access to a line that provides a shorter wait or $49.99 to skip the line completely, but the 13th Floor Haunted House is undoubtedly worth the price. The 13th Floor Haunted House is located at 4120 Brighton Blvd. in Denver and is open until Nov. 5. So, check it out while you still have a chance. The experience is unforgettable and you do not want to miss it this Halloween season. Megan Garcia can be reached at entertainment@
>> HORROR from page 14 grown to the point where the work does not fall solely on her, citing a recent incident when a cast member volunteered to teach another cast member another part. The Late Night Double Feature consists of 12 members, ranging from age 18 to 31. They rehearse in full as a group once a week at two different funeral homes in Loveland. On top of that, Casey travels between members’ houses to help with various parts. The group’s last performance was at Fort Collins’ gay-friendly alternative bar The R Bar and Lounge. The cast walked into R Bar just having a night out when the owner mentioned that the bar wanted to put on a performance of Rocky Horror. Conveniently, the entire cast was there to fulfill these wishes. The performance was a massive success, with another potential performance there in the works. The Late Night Double Feature’s next performance is in Colorado Springs on Friday, Oct. 28 where they will be performing with the Denver cast. Undoubtedly, The Rocky Horror Picture Show has changed Casey’s life just like it has for so many others who have found a family in the movie’s following. “It’s a cult classic,” Casey said. “And it is a cult.” The movie has even influenced Casey’s educational path, who decided to study medical anthropology after meeting several people with mental health disorders in the casts of the performance groups according to Casey. She hopes to change many of the policies around mental health treatment after graduating. Casey recommends getting involved in a Rocky Horror cast. “Don’t dream it, be it,” Casey said. “It’s a lot of work, but you will get everything out that you put in.” Information about The Late Night Double Feature can be found on Facebook at facebook.com/ rockyhorrorftcollins.

Relationships: Halloween Hookups By Jill Kolman @jillKolman
Do you know any cute howwe-met stories that happened on Halloween? Yeah, me neither. You might not find your soulmate on this spooky holiday, but that doesn’t mean romance won’t be involved at all. Every year, Hallo-weekend has many fun parties to offer. Parties full of Harley Quinns, Waldos, Trump re-enactors and walking puns. With so many people pumped up on booze and the anonymity of a costume, hook-ups are bound to happen! There are a few things to keep in mind, though, when there’s an added magical element in the air. Let’s try to remember at all times, but on Halloween especially, that classy is sexy. It’s a personal choice whether or not someone wants to keep those boobs, butts and bulges covered. Guys, if she’s dressed as a playboy bunny, that doesn’t mean she is yours to touch. Ladies, just because he’s going
as Mike, doesn’t mean his Magic is yours for the taking. People tend to get crazier on Halloween and forget the standard hookup rules. So, just remember, keep those hands to yourself unless it’s mutually agreed upon! Consent is key. Being superficial is not okay, but if you’re into hooking up then it’s usually part of the deal. So, another curveball that Halloween makes you consider are masks. No, Michelle Obama did not decide to make an appearance at this party. But if she’s throwing you vibes from across the room all night, make sure you’re into the person behind the mask before you reciprocate. Parties not your scene? With this year’s added element of “which clowns can you trust and which should you run from”, it’s pretty understandable to prefer pumpkin carving over pumpkin ale. It might be the perfect time to ask that cutie from stats class that you’ve been eyeing all semester to check out a haunted house or maybe a corn maze. There’s nothing like being

>> ASCSU from page 3 program was presented to ASCSU. The program was met with discontent during the ninth ASCSU senate session last week, where CSU Athletics Director Joe Parker and Assistant Director of Facilities Management Fred Haberecht were questioned for almost two hours. Vice President of University Advancement Brett Anderson made a presentation discussing the role of alumni in funding the stadium and CSU. “Private support … has become an incredibly important part of how we operate this university,” said Anderson. “The way we are increasing the private support of the institution is (by engaging) these alumni… One of the greatest engagement opportunities we’ve got from a university advancement standpoint is athletics. ... That engagement opportunity leads to them supporting the institution.” According to Anderson, private donations amount to $200 million given to the University for scholarships, facilities and operations costs. Anderson then entertained questions from the senate floor. “So, if we pay equal amounts to what the state and donors contribute to this school for it to be as it is, why is it that you have the expectation that you can’t treat the students as equally?” Hansen asked. Anderson responded that the University understands that the program is an inconvenience, but that donors contribute heavily to the University.

They’re paying a dramatically different price for that parking spot. We understand that it’s an inconvenience, and it’s a change from what we’ve always done.” Members of the gallery also voiced their opinions on the repark program. “I’m mostly frustrated how it was presented, as it (seems) like the Athletic Department made this decision and sold those tickets, and is holding that

Gallery members were also frustrated with the communication from the University regarding the program. “I’m really disappointed,” said Marc Tapporo, junior mechanical engineering gallery member. “Where did we fail to mention this to our students? We are festering hate amongst them. And, right now, I can see the bill at hand: $2.2 million. We can’t avoid that, that’s needed. I can’t afford it. I might have to drop out of college next year. So I support the (resolution).” Gabriel Go can be reached at news@collegian.com.
