Farewell Hughes; 48 years and 120 miles

By Eric Wolf @Eric_Wolf5

Plenty of people have made the journey to Hughes Stadium for years to support Colorado State football, but few are able to say that their journey spanned the entire space and time of the 48-year-old stadium.

When David Munday finds his seats 12 rows up near the North end zone at Hughes Stadium on Saturday, he will be one of them.

Back Then One-hundred twenty mostly desolate miles on highway 14 and U.S route 6 separates Fleming, Colorado (population 400) and Fort Collins (population 153,000).

Those miles can carry a lot

of memories. They sure do for Munday.

For over twenty years, Munday has made the trip from the Northeastern Plains to the Northern foothills almost every home Saturday to watch the Rams play.

The only games he missed were because he was unable to get a ride, or the unforgiving weather in that part of the state made the trip too hazardous.

But Munday’s journey to Hughes did not start at 120 miles, rather, it started at roughly three.

He was a junior at Colorado State in 1968 when the Rams made the transition from old Colorado Field to the shiny new stadium along the city’s outskirts.

“We thought the thing was

huge and it was really pretty the first time,” Munday said of his first memories of Hughes. “After the wooden stake bleachers for the student section in the old ball field, it seemed really great.”

In that first year in Hughes Stadium, the Rams went 2-8 under coach Milo Lude.

“When I was in college, CSU almost always made Playboy’s bottom 10 list,” Munday said.

“We had a lot of games when it was 45 or 50 to nothing.”

The Rams might have been getting blown out, but that did not deter Munday from attending home games. Like a lot of students nowadays, making the trip to Hughes was about more than just football.

“Some of the times were

pretty wild,” Munday said.

But life moves on, and Munday moved on too. He moved away from Fort Collins and started working. It would be awhile before he came back to Hughes.

Coming Back: Munday is a man who likes to play cards, and for 20 years or so, those cards gave him some money. He had decisions to make about what to do with it.

One of those decisions was returning to where it all started.

He can’t tell you exactly what year he first bought those season tickets, but since then, he’s been a mainstay in the stands, making that Saturday drive as much as he can.

“Well it was something to do,” Munday said about what kept him coming back. “It was

interesting. It is kind of the highlight of my week.”

For those 20 odd years he has lived CSU football, and he has his fair share of memories and opinions to go along with it.

“He’s definitely seen them go through several coaches,” Munday’s niece Kari Redmond said.

“He’s seen them be great, he’s seen them be awful. He’s definitely not fair-weather that’s for sure. He’s gone through it all.”

Some of his best memories surround the team’s new coach in the mid 1990s Sonny Lubick, and his underdog group of players who played the game the right way.

“I think he was a very inspirational leader, he got the most see HUGHES on page 14 >>

ELECTION 2016

Campus groups try to bring unity in wake of election

By Stuart Smith @notstuartsmith

Three different events to bring people together in the wake of the results of the election were held on campus Wednesday.

One group, the Political Activism and Education for Youth in America, handed out safety pins in the plaza from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. There were later two community dialogues, one for students and another for staff and faculty, for people to discuss the election and its outcome.

Safety Pins “Safety pins represent that you yourself are a safe place,” said Teresa Ross Tellechea, one of the students who was handing out the pins. “They’re also a reminder to step in if you see bigotry, racism, sexism or anything that seeks to oppress marginalized groups and minorities. It’s a symbol that you will step in.”

While wearing safety pins has become a movement following the election of Donald Trump, not all agree with the use of them. Some think that they are simply pointless and repre-

sent an issue that does not exist, while others believe that wearing them is not enough to address the issue.

“There has been some controversy about the safety pins, like it’s not enough, and we completely agree with that,” said Charlotte Conway, another member of the group. “But, at the same time, we view it as a first step to being an ally that will step in and help marginalized groups and always seek education.”

While the wearing of safety pins has become a trend in the United States since last Tuesday, it began in the aftermath of Brexit, when the United Kingdom saw a sudden spike in the number of hate crimes, especially against those of eastern European heritage.

“We really want to put the emphasis on the fact that allyship is not just something that you just put a safety pin on for, and you’re like ‘okay cool I agree,’” Ross Tellechea said. “It’s more to make the voices of marginalized communities heard and center our attention around that. But, the safety pins at the

same time are just a first step to getting there, and so that’s why we’re handing out the flyers, to tell people what they can do.”

Faculty and Staff come together for community dialogue Later in the day, at 12:00 p.m., the Office of the Vice President of Diversity held a community dialogue for faculty and staff of the University to discuss the recent election and what their reactions to it were.

In total, around 70 people showed up and more chairs had to be added to the room in order to seat everyone in attendance.

“We’re just trying to provide spaces for people to find support and community, and understand some of the different issues that people are facing, some of the fears they have,” said Ria Vigil, director of diversity education and training on the purpose.

“Not a lot of people are able to do that at their work every day.”

For the first half hour of the event, the different tables spoke in small groups of around six or seven people, discussing a series of questions that were given to each small group. Then the dis-

cussion was opened up in order for the attendees to address the entire room about their thoughts and what their tables talked about.

Student Affairs host community discussion for students In a different room in the LSC a few hours later, a similar event was held for students who have felt stressed in the past week due to the election.

“Our goal was to create a space for people to process how they’re feeling and to process across differences ... and try to find a way for people to relate with one another, and to find a way to move forward at this point from a place of a shared sense of humanity,” said Kathy Sisneros, the CSU Assistant Vice President on Student Affairs and organizer of the event.

Vigil ended the faculty and staff event with a call to action.

“Take responsibility,” Vigil said. “Create responsibility within yourself that you’re going to do something. It’s not somebody else’s responsibility. Use your voice and your positions of power. Donate your time. If you’ve

got time, donate it. If you’ve got money, donate your money. Donate your funds to different organizations so we make sure we’re advocating for different groups.

Finally, educate yourself on how issues will impact the marginalized.”

CSU on-campus stadium moves horticulture gardens

By Tony Villalobos @TonyTheGnarly

Adding to the list of growing student concerns, the on-campus stadium forced the horticulture gardens to move to a new location.

A perennial demonstration garden was previously located where the stadium is currently in construction. The garden is now being relocated north of the University Center of the Arts.

The decision to move the horticulture gardens was moved by the decision of university president Tony Frank, said horticulture professor Dr. Jim Klett.

The horticulture department was not given any options in this decision. However, they were given several options on where to move the current garden. The horticulture department had the option to move the garden south of the stadium, where it would not be accessible to the horticulture department.

The second option was south of campus, but is considered a flood plane and not ideal for the gardens.

The department later decided on the area north of the UCA, next to the annual trial gardens, which is the most visited spot in Northern Colorado, according to Klett.

The annual trial gardens are a popular spot for visitors in Fort Collins and Klett hopes that having the gardens adjacent will raise interest.

Klett also hopes to work with the City of Fort Collins to create a Garden Art District and incorporate more aspects of the UCA’s art as well.

The stadium has not received full support since its construction began and this has been echoed by some horticulture students.

“The first initial reaction was a real shock that moving the garden was even considered as an option,” wrote Andrew Sameshima, a senior horticulture major in an email to the Collegian.

“This did upset many within the department because of the cost and risk of moving the perennial garden.”

Sameshima said the news of the gardens was difficult for those in the department to accept.

“At first it was difficult to accept because I know how much hard work has gone into this garden,” wrote Sameshima. “But, as the move occurred, many within the Horticulture department began to feel grateful that the garden would have a new and improved home.”

The plants have already begun moving to the new site at the UCA. “All the plants will be very small, and we will continue to water them through the winter and hope they survive (the move),” Klett said.

The original perennial gardens are not the only horticulture area being moved; the previous horticulture building will also be replaced, and will include

several new greenhouses for the students and faculty.

The perennial gardens are part of the Plant Environmental Research Center (PERC).

The other areas of PERC are the greenhouses with a hedge collection, arboretum, small student vegetable farm including a small grape vineyard, Turfgrass research plots and the Plant Select Trial Garden.

“The site location will actually be a better site, since we have lost all of our other locations to the new stadium,” Klett said, regarding the move to the UCA. “It will combine the plant work as demonstration into one area that will be very visible.”

The perennial garden is expected to be finished by 2017, and the final walk through of the garden will occur this spring, roughly totaling a year and three months for the move.

“Now that the perennial garden is close to the Annual Trial Garden, I believe it will get more recognition for the beauty and research it provides for the plant industry and those interested in horticulture,” wrote Sameshima.

The new stadium will also include a new Heritage Garden as an addition to the existing arboretum that will serve as a gateway to the new stadium. This project is also expected to be finished by the stadium’s opening.

Klett said that students will now have the ability to work more in greenhouses and will continue being able to grow their

own vegetables, even if the distances in horticulture work spaces are now wider than before.

“All of our students now have a better facility,” Klett said.

Not all students have warmed up to the idea. There have been concerns among horticulture majors and frustrations from students who do not feel they got a say in the issue.

“I feel it was almost like a betrayal to the students themselves, because, being based as an agricultural college (it’s why we paint the A every year) it was not spoken about nearly as much as it should have been,” said senior horticulture major Sean Vanuos.

Despite initial concerns, the horticulture department is hoping to attract more students to the department and offer addi-

tional services to their students in the future.

“It (has) been a trying time for all of us, we’ve been very busy with all of these moves and with everything else we normally have to do,” Klett said. “Ultimately, we will all come out from the better side of this.”

Klett and his team have been working hard to preserve the plants as they continue their research.

“It’s been my lifeblood,” Klett said. “I have been here 37 years and basically started the perennial garden and the arboretum.

I want to see it enhanced and utilized more to educate people about plants and the beauty of life that comes from that.”

CITY

Fort Collins residents petition for 2-hour off campus parking

By MQ Borocz @MQBorocz22

Students and other non-residents cannot park for more than two hours in many neighborhoods surrounding campus due to the Residential Parking Permit Program.

In 2014 the city of Fort Collins began implementing a resident-petitioned parking program that has spread to seven neighborhoods, five of which surround Colorado State University’s campus.

The program allows two hour parking for non-residents in all of the neighborhoods with the exception of Sheely Subdivision, which lies south of Prospect Road and west of Whitcomb Street. Cars caught parked for more than two hours without a permit are issued a $25 ticket.

There have been problems regarding non-residents, many

of whom have been CSU students and people who work at nearby businesses, parking in front of houses.

Jamie Moyer, Residential Parking Services Coordinator for the city, said she has received many complaints from residents about not being able to park in front of their houses.

“People come home with groceries or from work and they have to walk two or three blocks,” Moyer said.

The neighborhoods are: Sheely Subdivision: South of Prospect Road and west of Whitcomb Street.

Mantz Subdivision: Between Mulberry Street and Laurel Street and between Shields Street and Washington Ave. University North Neighborhood: Between Mulberry Street and Laurel Street and between Washington Ave and Mason Street.

Historic Fort Collins High School Neighborhood: Area surrounding the University Center for the Arts between Edwards Street and Prospect Roade and between Remington Street and Peterson Street Old Town West Neighborhood: Between Oak Street and Mulberry Street and between Grant Ave and Canyon Ave. Spring Court: West of College Ave. and South of Prospect Road Old Prospect Subdivision: Between Prospect Road and Stuart Street and between College Ave and Mathews Street.

Despite some complaints, Moyer said the program has received a lot of positive feedback from residents.

“The only drawback I’ve seen is the cost (of permits),” Moyer said. “The residents don’t like that they have to pay, but it’s very inexpensive.”

Moyer said there are permit costs so Parking Services can help pay for the costs associated with implementing the program.

Households can obtain up to five permits for five vehicles.

The first permit is free and every additional car has an annual fee, which increases with each car added, of $15, $40, $100 and $200.

Car registration, a driver’s license and a bill or a bank statement must be submitted to the city in order to prove residency.

Residents can obtain guest permits as well. A guest permit for parking up to a 24 hour period is free, and one for up to 15 days is $10. People who work at nearby businesses also can get up to five permits and the prices are the same as they are for residents.

Implementing the program begins with complaints to Fort Collins Parking Services and a

resident petition to get it implemented in a neighborhood.

Then, the city performs an occupancy study to determine how often streets in a neighborhood are filled with foreign cars. The streets have to be occupied at least 70 percent of the time. If they are, Parking Services meets with residents from the neighborhood to discuss the program.

Lastly, a ballot is sent out to residents. At least 51 percent of residents have to approve the program.

There are several more neighborhoods where the program could be implemented according to Moyer. They include the neighborhoods north of the UCA and east of College Avenue. The neighborhood west of campus surrounding Bennet Elementary School is currently petitioning for the program.

College of Engineering receives largest donation in CSU history

By Katie Linenberger @klinen15

CSU received a $53.3 million donation to the College of Engineering, CSU President Tony Frank announced by email Tuesday. This is the largest donation that CSU has ever received.

CSU alumni Walter Scott Jr. donated $53.3 million to improve the College of Engineering.

Due to the large donation, the College of Engineering has been renamed the Walter Scott Jr. College of Engineering.

The donation will expand on the current Walter Scott Jr. Scholarship Program by giving

scholarships to 80 undergraduate students and 30 graduate students in the College of Engineering. It will also fund Presidential Chairs in water, health, energy and the environment, according to SOURCE. The chairs are going to help build the college’s experience in the four areas and provide better opportunities for research.

Two of the chairs are planned to be filled by the start of fall 2017 and the other two in fall 2018, according to SOURCE. “As we get older, I think it’s natural to think about the generations that will follow,” said

Scott. Jr. to SOURCE. “And, in a technological age, it’s important that our top students have the opportunity to study at strong research universities.”

A few years ago, Scott Jr. and his wife gave a donation to the University to construct a bioengineering building located on the north side of campus. CSU named the building Suzanne and Walter Scott Jr. Bioengineering Building to acknowledge their donations to the University. It was completed in 2015.

Scott Jr. is from Omaha, Nebraska. He graduated from CSU

in 1953 with a degree in civil engineering. He was a member in the ROTC program at CSU. Before studying civil engineering Scott Jr. was going to study range management until a friend told him to consider civil engineering, according to an email by President Tony Frank that was sent to CSU students.

“As we head into Fall Break, this is yet another reason to be thankful for all those who make Colorado State University a great institution,” Frank wrote.

Following in his father’s foot steps, Scott Jr. has been the

president and board chairman of Peter Kiewit Sons’ Inc. for many years now. His father started working at the company in 1926 as an engineer.

Peter Kiewit Son’s Inc. has hired over 100 CSU alumni and is located in Englewood, Colorado, according to SOURCE. “This amazing gift from Walter Scott will transform the College of Engineering and equip our faculty and students to achieve new and greater impact on our world,” said Dean David McLean to SOURCE.

Pride Resource Center to hold Transgender Day of Remembrance vigil

By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98

The Pride Resource Center will host a candlelight vigil for Transgender Day of Remembrance at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17.

The office will hold the vigil Thursday evening since the international Transgender Day of Remembrance is Nov. 20, when CSU is closed for fall break.

The event will start in the

Pride Resource Center, but will move to the El Centro office later during the program where speakers from the northern Colorado and CSU community will present. The event will conclude with a candlelight vigil on the plaza. Names of transgender lives lost during 2016 will be read during the vigil to honor their lives.

Emily Ambrose, the assistant director of the Pride Resource Center, said Transgender Day of

Remembrance is important because it raises awareness about issues the transgender community faces.

“Transgender Day of Remembrance is important for a multitude of reasons,” Ambrose said. “(It raises) awareness, attention and visibility to the atrocious acts of violence that happen too commonly towards the transgender population. Events like this are really important because it’s easy in a society that

doesn’t recognize the validity and the importance of marginalized people’s experiences ... to just sweep (their experiences) under the rug.”

Ambrose said the event is a way for students to show their support for the Transgender community.

‘This is a way for us to be in solidarity and show support in alliance with the trans population around intersecting identities, as well as knowing that tran-

swomen of color specifically, are one of the highest facets of our population that are at risk of acts of violence,” Ambrose said. “That needs to stop, so we need to be in remembrance of them and all who are doing their best to just live life and be awesome.”

Ambrose encourages all students who are interested or curious about the event to come to the vigil with an open mind.

Surge of protests unique to this election ELECTION 2016

By Michelle Fredrickson @MFredrickson42

Last week Donald Trump became President-elect of the United States.

In the wake of that surprising outcome, protests and rallies have broken out across the country in opposition to the results.

The vocal response has created a unique political climate never before seen following an election.

Kyle Saunders, professor of political science at CSU who specializes in elections and behaviors, said he cannot remember seeing a presidential election this contested.

“The response that we’ve seen from many disadvantaged groups is not surprising in that context, simply because President-elect Trump has been relatively inconsistent on some of the things that he’s said over the past few days,” Saunders said.

“It’s a visceral and not all that surprising response to that uncertainty.”

Though some reasons for this may be that the rallies are more widely covered due to improved information technology, there is no doubt in his mind that this election has riled up the public more than any other recent election.

These protests, he said, are by and large symbolic in nature not policy-driven.

The majority of opposition protests so far, he said, are in response not just to the election of Trump but to the policy stances he put forward in his campaign on topics like immigration, abortion, gay marriage, transgender rights, and many more contentious topics.

Some protests that have taken place in Fort Collins in the last few days included a Peace and Solidarity rally on Saturday, a Standing Rock rally on Sunday, and a DACA support rally on Monday.

John Kefalas, a member of the Colorado Senate, spoke at the Peace and Solidarity Rally, which drew more than 1,300 people. He encouraged the participants to continue their activism and take it to the state and local levels.

“You need to be continuing to peacefully exercise your first amendment right, which is the right to assemble,” Kefalas said.

The CSU Intersectional Activism Network promoted the DACA rally, which was organized

by Dreamers United and drew about 400 people.

“The solidarity theme of these rallies is important for banding together with groups of marginalized people that very understandably feel unsafe and

unwelcome in Trump’s ‘great America,’” said Jack VanVleet, a member of the CSU Intersectional Activism Network. “We need people of privilege to step up and say this kind of thing is unacceptable in society. They need to step in when they see this kind of harassment happening.”

VanVleet said the reason they are protesting is to emphasize that Trump’s campaign, based predominantly in controversial rhetoric about immigration and other issues, is not a normal political campaign given Trump’s lack of government experience and former career as a TV reality star.

“It is important to push back and say that we will not let crude, sexist behavior and racist rhetoric become normalized.”

Part of the reason this election has been so contentious is due to the personality of the president-elect himself, Saunders said.

“Part of the story is just that it’s Trump, and he’s such a polemic figure, and the shock of the election itself,” he said.

Saunders said that the country stands on a precipice now to see what Trump will actually do in office, and if he will fulfill the promises he made in the campaign.

“Is candidate Trump going to govern as he stated in his rhetoric in the campaign?” Saunders asked rhetorically. “Or is there another President Trump who is more pragmatic, who is not going to be as extreme or hyperbolic in the policies that he tends to push?”

The protests thus far have been largely against Trump himself and the rhetoric of his campaign, Saunders said. In the future, once policy begins to be enacted, this dialogue will probably change to focus more on specific laws and government actions. At that point activism will make more of a difference, he said.

Policy changes have also been met with high degrees of uncertainty. Republicans have relatively unfettered control of the federal government for the first time in many years, Saunders said.

“So policy change is ultimately up to Trump and the Republican leadership,” he said. He added that activists may want to base their decisions for the future around specific policies.

That is the direction VanVleet and the CSU Intersectional Activism Network plans to go.

VanVleet said they will rigorously oppose any destructive policy or rhetoric from this campaign.

Some activists are beginning to see policy moves now with the appointments of Stephen Bannon and Myron Ebell.

“The hiring of Stephen Bannon, a known and proud white ethno-nationalist to be Trump’s Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor is an outrage,” VanVleet said. “A look at his staff and cabinet picks is worth a story all on its own.”

A particular area of indignation for VanVleet is climate change. He said Trump’s previous denial of climate change as a hoax perpetuated by the Chinese, and his rhetoric during the campaign, shows a worrying trend toward environmental degradation.

VanVleet’s concern was furthered when Trump appointed Myron Ebell, a climate change denier, to head the EPA. “These kind of appointments must be vigorously opposed and talked about,” VanVleet said.

“That’s why we need rallies expressing anger and dissent towards these kind of things.”

He expressed his attitude toward the protests using a quote from noted American historian and social activist Howard Zinn:

“Yes, dissent and protest are divisive, but in a good way, because they represent accurately the real divisions in society.

Those divisions exist—the rich, the poor—whether there is dissent or not. But when there is no dissent, there is no change. The dissent has the possibility not of ending the division in society, but of changing the reality of the division. Changing the balance of power on behalf of the poor and the oppressed.”

Given that Trump lost the popular vote, many protestors are now calling for the abolishment of the Electoral College, as well as petitioning electors to change their votes and vote for Hillary Clinton when they officially choose the new president Dec. 19.

When electors go against the votes of their state, they are called a ‘faithless elector.’ It almost never happens – and Saunders said that it is an incredibly long shot for enough Republican electors to change their votes for Clinton.

“I’m not convinced that, especially when they’re a Republican elite going off to cast their electoral vote, enough Republi-

cans could be convinced to give up their Electoral College vote to deny the Republican Party their shot at a unified government,” Saunders said.

The petitions attempting to abolish this system are expressions of frustration with the system, and the public feeling like they have to go around the political parties to effect political change, Saunders said.

He added that it is unlikely the Electoral College will be going anywhere. Though states could control how their votes are used, such as designating proportionate votes to the actual votes in their state, or a state allowing its electors to side with the popular vote rather than the state vote, the states are unlikely to implement this because it significantly lessens their political power.

“Our institutions of government are meant to persevere.

Protests are a natural response to perceived political threat and change,” Saunders said. “What we are seeing so far is not our institutions breaking; this is just them bending a bit.”

Bill #4607 will create a partnership between ASCSU and bike-share providers Zipcar and Zagster. The bill was passed with a vote of 15-3-4.

The bill was sent to committee last week in order for senators to contact their constituencies.

The amended bill states that ASCSU will maintain half of the costs associated with the bike share deal, while Housing and Dining Services will subsidize the other half of the payment.

The new bill lowers the cost of ASCSU’s contribution to the Zip Bike deal compared to the initial draft of the bill, earmarking $14,750 from the Senate General Discretionary Fund.

Housing and Dining Services will provide roughly the same amount from sustainability fees.

ASCSU has been

collaborating with Zip Bike and the Parking and Transportations Services since 2015 in order to implement a bike-share program that would integrate with Fort Collins’s own bike-share system.

The deal with Zipcar and Zagster is a time-sensitive partnership.

CSU is eligible to receive the bike-sharing stations due to the its reputation as a bike-friendly campus.

CSU is a platinum-rated Bicycle Friendly University according to infrastructure and investment standards set by the League of American Cyclists.

The University is also a platinum-rated Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System University by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education for its efforts in sustainability.

As the Fall 2016 term also admitted the largest incoming class to date, the bike-sharing program is also considered a way to keep up with the heavier traffic on campus.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

ASCSU seats potential for MultiFaith and Belief Student Council

By Gabriel Go @rgabrielgo

The Associated Students of Colorado State University are considering amending the ASCSU constitution to grant representation to the Multi-Faith and Belief Student Council to represent students of faith on campus.

While the bill was not formally introduced to the body, it was discussed heavily at the Wednesday night senate session because another bill, #4609, may change the process of student groups obtaining senate seats.

The student organization is considering granting a senate seat to the Multi-Faith and Belief Student Council in a similar manner to the Student Diversity Programs and Services and Adult Learner and Veteran Services senate seats. The bill, still in production but discussed at the Wednesday senate meeting, would provide the Multi-Faith and Belief Student Council with one senator seat and one associate senator seat. However, members of ASCSU say the bill is not official and more feedback is required before it can be introduced to the body.

The SDPS and ALVS senate seats were created as a result of last semester’s controversial Diversity Bill. The bill allows any student organization representing a historically underrepresented population not currently represented in the student body to petition the director of diversity and receive a senate seat after a two-thirds majority senate vote.

However, ASCSU may seek to bypass petitioning process by amending the constitution to include the Multi-Faith and Belief Student Council among the organizations entitled to senate seats.

Bill #4609 would eliminate the petitioning process for student groups altogether. As the petition process for gaining a senate seat requires a two-thirds majority vote from the senate, there is a potential for underrepresented groups to fail to obtain a seat. This could cause a liability for ASCSU if the group requesting representation in senate is a protected class under the U.S. Constitution.

Bill #4609 was sent to committee for further review. It is expected to be presented for a second reading after fall break.

RODENBAUGH:

Birth Control is Everyone’s Responsibility Mikaela Rodenbaugh @ihavemyraisins

Someone I know was conceived while his mother was on the pill.

He is also a twin. The running joke is that their family had a two for one sale. He is a result of the 0.001% rate of failure for the pill, which increases exponentially when hormonal contraceptive is not taken correctly.

While many people love him and his twin, myself and his parents included, he’s also a prime example of why men should be more invested in male contraception.

The history of contraception is a long and interesting one, as people have always looked for ways to avoid the difficult process of childbirth and child-rearing. Whether it has involved the use of crocodile dung as a spermicide, or ingesting papaya seeds as a method to decrease sperm count, there have been many methods of contraception that have been utilized by humankind. What isn’t always talked about, however, is that the history of male contraceptives is as intertwined and as ancient as the history of female contraception, and for good reason.

So long as both sexes are still out there making the beast with two backs, birth control should really be seen as a responsibility for everyone. Unfortunately,

that isn’t always the case.

Even to this day, looking into new methods of contraception for men is a continued area of scientific interest, with alternatives like Vasalgel or Trestrolone currently looking for approval by the FDA. Even as the scientific community is working towards the awesome goal of giving men more contraceptive options however, male attitudes towards even basic forms of contraception are often apathetic or down right haphazard.

Simple things, like making excuses that the condom is too tight (spoiler alert: it’s not), or that they didn’t get anyone pregnant the last time so clearly it’s not that bad, are the types of attitudes that often force women to take sole responsibility for pregnancy prevention and, frankly, lead to increased rates of abortion. No method besides celibacy is 100% effective.

I was watching Weekend Update on SNL when a report on a male contraceptive pill that was tanked because of side effects came on and provided a great example of our failure as a society to instill the idea that contraceptives should be a team effort.

Host Michael Che perfectly summarized contemporary attitudes towards birth control: “Men are not going to take birth control because pregnancy just doesn’t effect our bodies.”

Alright, as far as pregnancy’s effect on male bodies themselves, you’ve got me there. But certainly pregnancy affects the

lives of countless men.

This attitude doesn’t hold water when you consider that most doctors advise sexually active couples to use 2 methods of contraceptive every time. It doesn’t make sense when you consider that birth control is ultimately one of

the most liberating technological advances known to man.

Having the ability to control whether or not you produce another human being is a wonderful thing, and by spreading an attitude of apathy towards male contraceptives, we are effectively encouraging men

to play the dangerous game of baby roulette.

Taking responsibility for both partners’ side of the equation is an important goal for our society, male pill or not.

Theory from 1950s can help explain Clinton loss

By Harold Clarke

The Dallas Morning News

Why did so many people decide not to vote for Hillary Clinton?

A theory from the 1950s can help explain. According to University of Michigan researchers in their book “The American Voter,” just three factors influence the majority of voters: long-term partisan predispositions, judgments about important issues and images of the candidates.

The issues that matter most to the vast majority of voters are not “position” issues, the sort of issues that deeply divide the public, such as abortion and LGBT rights. Rather, voters decide based on “valence” issues such as vigorous economic growth, the provision of high-quality health care, affordable educational opportunities, national security and protection from terrorists and common criminals. Virtually everyone agrees that these are desirable ends of public policy, and political debate focuses on how to best achieve these goals.

1. A large group of voters didn’t identify with either party. The Democrats had a significant edge in party identifications over Republicans; 32 percent of people polled by Gallup in September said they identified Democratic and 27 percent said they were Republicans. But 40 percent said they were independents. With a large group without psychological ties to either major party, short-term forces evolving during the campaign, evaluations of party performance on key issues and candidate images, were crucial.

2. A number of important issues were not in Clinton’s favor. Nearly eight years after of Barack Obama walked into the Oval Office, the economy’s performance remained problematic. Although unemployment

had dropped sharply, growth remained anemic and the real incomes of millions of Americans were lower than they had been decades earlier. In addition, the national debt was at a historic high and increasing.

Donald Trump charged that many of these economic maladies were caused by the failure of the Obama, George Bush and Bill Clinton administrations to make trade deals that would protect the American economy from unfair foreign competition. Simply put, the political-economic elites had sold out American workers.

Obama’s signature domestic legislation, the Affordable Care Act, was in trouble, with insurers bailing and premiums skyrocketing. And the situation wasn’t much better overseas, with much of the Middle East in turmoil. And Trump’s plan to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico made immigration a high-profile and bitterly contentious issue. Trump charged that the Obama administration’s failure to control immigration posed serious economic, security and cultural threats.

Clinton’s basic difficulty with issues was that she was caught between Barack and a hard place. She could not risk openly criticizing the performance of Obama by proposing innovative solutions that might capture the public imagination. She desperately needed the president’s support on the campaign trail to help her mobilize African-Americans and millennials, two groups that had been crucial for his electoral success in 2008 and 2012. Moreover, Clinton’s difficulties with separating herself from Obama on foreign policy issues were greatly magnified because she had been secretary of state when many of them were developed.

She had no choice but to allow herself to be portrayed as an

agent of continuity, not change.

The trouble for Clinton was that large numbers of people concentrated in states that were critical for her victory judged that performance negatively.

Many white working-class voters in Rust Belt states such as Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin saw themselves as “forgotten Americans” who had been decidedly ill-served by Obama’s policy performance.

Historically, these people had been a vital core support group for the Democratic Party. The Michigan researchers argued in their book The American Voter long ago that alienating these voters would be a recipe for electoral disaster.

3. Both candidates had very negative images. The Michigan researchers argued that candidate images are vital cues voters use to help them decide how candidates would perform in office. Trump was portrayed as a crass vulgarian whose volatile temperament and lack of experience disqualified him for major office. He countered by labeling Clinton “crooked Hillary,” arguing that her use of a private email system while secretary of state was criminal conduct that put America’s national security at grave risk.

Unlike Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton also had difficulty connecting with ordinary people, and polls indicate that many voters neither trusted nor liked her.

It is ironic that Clinton’s campaign ended with Obama stumping for her the day before the election in Ann Arbor, Mich., where “The American Voter” had been written six decades ago. Clinton was judged harshly by voters, especially a core constituency in her party, and she generated precious little enthusiasm across much of the electorate; the authors of “The American Voter” surely would have predicted there was a real risk she could lose.

Hughes Stadium: Saying goodbye to an era

By Chad Deutschman @ChadDeutschman

There have been 261 games played at Hughes Stadium; there will only be one more.

When Colorado State takes to Sonny Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium Saturday night, each second that ticks off the clock, every tackle made, every point scored will all be making history.

Sitting in front of Horsetooth Reservoir, under the shadow of the ‘A’, Hughes Stadium has served 48 years as Fort Collins’ sanctuary for cheers, tears, beers and everything else that comes with college football.

Hughes Stadium first opened its gates Sept. 28, 1968, where Colorado State lost 17-12 to North Texas. It was there for the famous 17-8 Border War win in 1990 and the bedlam that ensued. Hughes was there when 39,107 people filed in to see Colorado State go to battle with Utah in 1994.

Come Nov. 19, when Colorado State and New Mexico face off, this year’s team will try to send Hughes off with one final blast from the ROTC cannon, signifying victory.

Do it for Hughes For CSU head coach Mike Bobo and his staff, Hughes Stadium does not carry the same weight as it does for CSU coaching legend Sonny Lubick. They simply have not spent enough time in there for it to. That does not mean it is not special.

“The first game I coached as a head coach, was a nice memory,” Bobo said, referencing the 65-13 win over Savannah State in 2015. “Our guys played well and we won. It’s your first time on the sideline there at Hughes.”

While Bobo may have some fond memories from the 11 games he has coached at Hughes, he said he has not — or really does not — have the time to sit down and think about them.

“I had a lot of memories as a player in the stadiums, I’m thinking now as a coach at Georgia and here, it’s like three and a half hours of heartburn,” Bobo laughed. “I mean, you’re not sitting around in nostalgia looking at the crowd. You’re out there trying to figure out a way to get first downs, a way to get stops, a way to get a win. I think you look back on things when you’re done.”

Hughes Stadium will be done soon. Even if he has only been a part of two of the 48 seasons at Hughes, the coach wants to send it off the right way.

Game preparation has not been different. CSU is preparing for New Mexico just like they would any other opponent. The one difference is that the team will be closing out an era.

They are playing for Bradlee Van Pelt, Anthoney Hill, Joey Porter, Jack Christiansen, Garrett Grayson and all the other players to ever spend a career playing with a horned helmet strapped on at Hughes Stadium. They are playing for every fan that has battled through the sun, the cold nights, the wins and the losses.

They are playing for an era.

“The way that I can honor Hughes as a head football coach, is to get this team ready to play and to play for 60 minutes,” Bobo said. “Put forth the best effort of fight, playing for each other and playing for everybody that has ever played on that football field or anybody that has ever watched a game.”

For the players the feeling is mutual.

For some Hughes has been a part of their lives for up to five years. For others, it has been just a few months. It does not matter.

No matter if they are a freshman or senior, Hughes is home away from home.

“I think we’re all going to miss Hughes,” quarterback Nick Stevens said. “When you look at the whole lifespan of Hughes, we haven’t been around for that long and have a lot of really good memories there. I think we’re going to miss Hughes. I don’t think it’s probably sunk in yet. It might when we get out there on Saturday. I think right now we are just going to focus on sending it off the right way with a win.”

When Colorado State takes the field Saturday night against New Mexico, priority number one is getting win number 146 at Hughes Stadium — CSU holds an all-time 145-114-2 record at Hughes.

“It is exciting that the new stadium is going,” senior safety Jake Schlager said. “But Hughes Stadium definitely holds a really special place in my heart. The memories that have gone down there, the games that we have been a part of, I will never forget.

I’m going to make sure this last game at Hughes Stadium is part of those games that are engraved with what I think of Hughes for the rest of my life. It is a special game to the entire team, it is a special game to the University, and it is a special game to the town.”

Make the Glory Days Today On Oct. 22, 1994, the-No. 11 Colorado State and No. 15 Utah

battled in front of the largest crowd ever at Hughes Stadium. Utah would go on to win the game 45-31, but the most impressive part was the atmosphere.

The head coach of the time for CSU was Sonny Lubick. Lubick coached at CSU from 19932007, 15 years. When 39,107 people packed the stands, that game sits atop all the other memories he withholds from Hughes.

“I can remember our (University) President Al Yates, Tom Jurich was the AD, and they brought in extra bleachers,” Lubick said. “Plus in the south end zone where the scoreboard is, as I remember looking at that, it was just completely filled with people and had temporary bleachers there…I think that would be one (memory) just because of the enormity of the crowd was something.”

A picture of the crowd hangs at Sonny Lubick Steakhouse. Lubick also has a photo of the game in his home.

“We had ABC come in and televise the game,” Lubick said.

“It was a game for the ages. It was just the stadium completely packed and nobody ever thought we would see that…to see that type of a crowd, that type of excitement, and then to have it on ABC TV. I think it sold our stadium cause I watched the game afterwards, how they talked about Fort Collins and Colorado State University, took pictures, panoramic views of the entire area. To me that would be a special game.”

With the final game at Hughes looming, it is a bittersweet moment for Lubick. He spent 15 years as head coach, and three as an assistant, leaving behind a legacy that will never be surpassed. Colorado State is moving on from Hughes. Lubick has come to terms with it.

“It’s bittersweet,” Lubick said. “It’s a lot of good, fond, happy memories up at Hughes, however, the new on campus stadium is going to be a thing of beauty.

Not only that, it shows a tremendous commitment from not only the University but the entire city.

That just bodes well for, especially the athletic program, but also for the entire University that they are committing to doing something special.”

Lubick hopes the atmosphere he was blessed enough to be a part of back in 1994 during the Utah game returns at the new stadium. Lubick said it will take some time to get used to the idea of an on-campus stadium,

Lubick’s record at CSU was 57-27 as head coach at CSU in the 1990s PHOTO COURTESY OF CSU ATHLETICS COLLEGIAN

but he believes it will result in a resurgence of support.

“I think sometimes one has to be of some fortune, you have to be good,” Lubick said. “I think what happened in (the Utah game) is both teams had winning records and we were ranked very high, so of course that’s what the media is looking for was the big game. I know the coaching the staff is doing a great job right now, but if they could get to a point where they end up being 6-1 at one point and the huge TV people come here, and you’re playing a pretty good opponent, that could happen often, because of the fact that the new stadium will sell itself.

“And the fact that it’s on-campus, what a great atmosphere. It doesn’t get any better.

The leaves are all turning, the color of our campus, and then all the sudden you see a brand new stadium and 40 thousand people in there, I think that’s a very real possibility.”

The closing of Hughes Stadium marks the end of an era. It was an era of defeat, it was an era of success, but most importantly it was an era in which Colorado State football saw what it could become.

Hughes has served its purpose. It is time to say goodbye.

“It’s starting to hit me more

and more,” Lubick said. “I’ve always enjoyed my time spent out at Hughes. I enjoyed everything about that…I just think about it overall, and I was looking here (pointing to a binder on his desk), going through our ’93 to 2007, and I see the coaches, I see pictures of our coaches, players.

They come back to me. Somebody asked me before; I always enjoyed going to the stadium and to have our ritual and then coming out just before the game.

I always enjoyed that. I kind of had a nice relationship with the marching band. And when I’d come off the field and go up the tunnel 10 minutes before game time, the band would be in that tunnel warming up and playing, and I’d be high-fiving them and they were all excited. Little quirky things mean a lot.

“Our little ritual in the locker room was always the same every game, but I guess those are the things you miss the most. I guess the (Utah game) would be one of them that all of the moments that were great in CSU history to see the crowd, and see what could be and what will be here because our community continues to grow. The new stadium is going to be something special.”

CSU defense aims to bounce back after Air Force

By Eric Wolf

In last Saturday’s 49-46 loss to Air Force, the Colorado State Rams gave up more rushing yards (485) than any team in the Mountain West conference this season.

CSU’s young defense hadsbeen gaining experience and improving, but the inexperience showed on Saturday when an offensive with a completely different scheme took the field.

“I thought we would perform better in some places than what we did and maybe they just weren’t capable which is a little bit disheartening,” defensive coordinator Marty English said.

“But at the same time, (you) go back and look in the mirror, and I think we can be better. I think some of these guys know we can be better.”

The Rams have to be better in a hurry, as the New Mexico Lobos and the No. 1 rushing attack

in the entire country come into Hughes Stadium this Saturday.

The Lobos’ run a similar triple-option scheme as Air Force, but they have their own spin to it and more athletic running backs in the backfield.

If there is a positive coming out of the Air Force loss it is that the Rams have plenty mistakes to look at and learn from before Saturday.

“What will help is that we will have a chance to see our mistakes that we had in this last ball game and tweak some stuff that we are doing,” coach Mike Bobo said.

Playing against an option offense is all about detailed discipline English said, and the Rams did not have enough of it on Saturday.

“We did not play as disciplined as we wanted to play and that showed when they ran all over us pretty much,” linebacker Kevin Davis said. “We understand that each guy has a certain

>> HUGHES from page 1 out of his players,” Munday said.

“I’m not sure that they always had the best players, but he got the most out of them.”

And for Munday, the team’s success under Lubick marked a contrast to his first experiences in Hughes.

“It was kind of fun watching a down program come up.” Munday said. “It was very different.”

He was there driving down Shields street in 1994 to see students “hollerin’” in the streets while carrying away an intact goalpost after the Rams knocked off Wyoming 35-24 in a come from behind win. That is one of those images still burned in his mind.

He was there for the Steve Fairchild era, which he calls the team’s biggest disappointment.

He loved the way former coach Jim McElwain called plays. He has not seen enough of current coach Mike Bobo to form a definite opinion, but he likes the way the program is headed.

Injured freshman quarterback Collin Hill has the arm talent, but he loves the way the offense operates under junior quarterback Nick Stevens.

He has his opinions, and even now, he can talk football with the best of them.

Change: The average person has 120 to 220 degrees of peripheral vision. Munday was declared legally blind when he hit 15 degrees.

Nowadays, he lives with one percent central vision.

This year he was finally discouraged from carrying a gun when he goes out hunting in

pheasant country Colorado, but he is quick to add that he got some birds even after he was declared legally blind.

As far as game day, he was never discouraged from attending games. He might struggle to see the South-end of the field, but he can still follow the ball around.

“As far as I know it’s the same as for anybody else because I don’t see what I don’t see,” Munday said about his game day experience. “I probably do not (see everything) but I can see a good portion of it.”

And as far as what has changed from his first trip to Hughes 48 years up until now?

Not much.

“Well to tell you the truth, it’s getting very hard to go up and down those stairs,” Munday said.

“But other than that, the game seems the same, the Stadium’s the same, the people are pretty much the same. The results aren’t much different. Some excitement, some disgust.”

Even with his impaired vision he is still having as much fun as he had before. After all, that is what it is all about on Saturday.

“It’s a good time to get together,” Munday said. “My family and I don’t see each other very often. (It’s ) just a chance to get together and raise a little hell.

There is no use going if you can’t raise some hell. When it quits being fun, I’ll quit going.”

Someone he gets to raise some hell with is his niece Kari Redmond, who started going to games with her uncle five years ago when she returned to the states after education abroad.

job to do and you have to take care of your job. That’s the only way you are going to beat an option team.”

Both English and Bobo said that what happened on Saturday took them back to the beginning of the year when the inexperienced defense was slow to react, and they did not challenge or play as aggressively as they could have.

“I did not think we played fast defensively on Saturday,” Bobo said. “It looked like we were a little bit unsure. That happens when you play something you haven’t seen all year.”

“I think it was just something that we had not seen yet,” safety Jake Schlager said. “We went through practice all week and harped about how it is going to be much faster and different than practice but I don’t really think it hit the guys.”

And when the Rams did have their assignments down, they lost too many one-on-one bat-

tles.

But not all of it comes back to the players.

“You can use every scheme in the world you want, at some point you have to figure out what your guys can do and maybe what they can’t,” English said.

“That’s our job to go back in the room and figure out who has to be where when you play these options teams and who is going to be best suited for you.”

Part of that reevaluation means trying different players in different spots and doing what the coaches can to make sure the players are in the best position possible. Freshman safety Jamal Hicks was one of the guys who English said was aggressive on the perimeter on Saturday, and he should see more playing time this week.

Athletic outsider linebackers like Arjay Jean and Bryan Ohene-Gyeni might be getting a second look to see if they can do a better job containing the quar-

Munday and his niece Kari Redmond at a game at Hughes Stadium.

For Redmond, her season tickets next to her uncle gave her a chance to spend time with a dear family member she does not see very often, and to carry on a tradition that means a lot to her and her family.

Farewell Hughes Now, Hughes stadium is coming to an end and lot more than just CSU football in the confines of the stadium is ending with it.

“It’s the end of an era, it’s the end of a family tradition, it’s the end of the spirit I feel like,” Redmond said. “Hughes is a perfectly fine stadium. I don’t know why it needs to change, and it will be sad when it does for sure.”

Over the years Munday and Redmond have developed the camaraderie with the fans around them that can only be shared with fellow Rams on game day.

In fact, the first time it ever dawned on Munday that he had been to the first game at Hughes, he mentioned it to the man sit-

ting next to him. The man quickly replied that he had too...and he had been to every game since.

The man sitting next to them made it to the first, but he did not make it to the last.

But the man’s daughters still hold his season tickets. A part of him will live on in Hughes’ final game.

Those are the real stories in the 48 years of the stadium.

For Redmond and Munday it is the people around them that make Hughes what it is; that is the part that is going to be hard to let go.

Going from first to last is something Munday will be able to say, but he does not look too much into that.

“Right now, it seems kind of nostalgic,” Munday said. “At the time, I didn’t think anything about it. It never dawned on me that they were going to close this stadium early. I have had a lot of good times there, a lot of excitement.”

terback.

The bounce back needs to come in a hurry with New Mexico coming to town, but the players and coaches are confident this defense has the ability to do that.

“Live and learn from it and just come back this week,” Schlager said. “(Now) we just kind of know what to expect now that we have already seen that. I think we will be able to adjust a lot better to it.”

“I anticipate that, I do,” English said. “We have to, there’s no other way about it. We will learn from last week to move into this week, there’s no doubt in my mind that we will do that. You can preach it, preach it, preach it, until they just experience it. And I don’t know how they are going to respond to it and now I do.

Now I have a little better idea. It’s going to be something that we are all better at this week.”

Eric Wolf can be reached by email at sports@collegian.com

And of the future, and CSU’s new on-campus stadium, they do not know whether the tradition will continue.

Munday said it is getting harder and harder to go to games, and with his eyesight, Redmond said that it just might be too much of a change leaving the comfort of Hughes Stadium for a new home.

But there iss still one more chance.

Yes, on Saturday Munday will say goodbye to the stadium, but that is not what is important.

There is a football game to be played after all.

“I just hope they win,” Munday said. “There is nothing special I can get out of it except having a good time watching. I like close games. If you go home and you are not hoarse, it was not a good game.”

Forty-eight years will not come to an end in just over three hours. There are too many memories and too much to cherish about Hughes stadium to ever let go.

But for one more night, everything will be just like it is supposed to be.

He has one more time to stay until the final whistle blows. One more time to make the highway 14 drive. One more time to raise a little hell in the parking lot and in the stands with everyone he has come to know over the years.

One more time to settle into those concrete seats at Hughes stadium with his family while the lights go on and the Rams take the field.

BASKETBALL

Omogbo and Bob carry Rams to tight win over Fort Lewis

By Eddie Herz @Eddie_Herz

The big men from South Plains College took their turn to step up for the Rams.

Emmanuel Omogbo and Che Bob combined for 40 points and 22 rebounds in the Rams 8475 victory over Division II Fort Lewis College. Omogbo, who transferred from South Plains before last season, individually scored 20 and grabbed 15 rebounds for his first double-double of the season.

“It’s going to be different guys every night,” Omogbo said. “The other night I didn’t really have a good game and Braden helped us out. Tonight, it was my turn to help us out and Che’s turn to help. Every night it’s going to be different people. I’m going to do my part as a senior on this team, rebounding and doing whatever I have to do on the court.”

Bob, who was a member of the South Plains Texans last season, contributed 20 points as well and added seven rebounds.

“When I get out there I just want to give it all I got, play hard, go to the glass, play defense, just do the little things to get my team where we need to be,” Bob said.

“If that’s energy, boarding, or getting a stop, anything, I just want to be productive.”

Though the two forwards dominated en route to the Rams second victory of the season, the team once again came out flat in the first half. CSU shot only 36.7

percent from the field in the first half against Fort Lewis. The threepoint struggles continued as well.

The Rams converted only one of their nine first half three-pointers, putting them at 1-23 on the season from beyond the arc.

“I feel like we are playing a little tentative out there in the first half,” Omogbo said. “We just aren’t getting any stops. Coach told us coming in that this team (Fort Lewis) was really good, but we didn’t really listen and they gave us a fight. But I’m proud of my teammates for grinding it out.”

CSU grabbed their first lead of the game after Bob nailed a three with 31 seconds remaining in the first half. However, a layup

by Fort Lewis with six seconds remaining sent the Rams into the locker room trailing 31-30 at half. The Skyhawks, who beat BYU last season, came to play.

They displayed that from behind the arc, hitting nine three pointers in the contest.

“We knew when we played Fort Lewis that we could lose,” head coach Larry Eustachy said, “These guys had great guards, the way they shot it showed that. ” The Rams finally found their stroke shooting the ball in the second half. They shot 46.7 percent from the field. Instead of staying away from the three-ball, like they did after struggling in the first half against NMSU, they continued to shoot from a distance down the stretch.

This heavily contributed to

the victory, as the Rams cashed in four of their 10 three-point attempts in the second half. Two of those made threes were hit by Prentiss Nixon, who heated up in the final 20 minutes to finish 12

points and four rebounds.

‘We are coming along, guys are going to start hitting shots,” Omogbo said. “It’s only the first two games of the season. Right now we are living at the free-throw

line and need to grind out wins.”

CSU will hit the road and take on Pac-12 opponent Stanford on Sunday at 4:00 p.m MT. Eddie Herz can be reached by email at sports@collegian.com.

Fort Collins’ oldest building was home to a total badass FEATURES

By Zoe Jennings @CSUCollegian

Before it had houses or even trees Fort Collins was home to Camp Collins military base. Barracks and officer quarters were the only civilization to be seen and Native Americans lived up and down the river that the officers’ horses would drink from.

The Fort Collins Museum of Discovery’s Heritage Park located in Library Park displays several of Fort Collins’ oldest buildings including the “Auntie Stone Cabin,” which is cited as the oldest building in Fort Collins.

The house draws interest beyond its impressive coinage as the only remnant of the original Fort Collins, according to Cindy Tunney who is a volunteer docent (guide) for the Heritage Park Courtyard. The woman who lived there helped form what the town of Fort Collins is today and has maintained an endearing legacy simply for being a dynamic person.

Born in 1801, Elizabeth Hickok Robbins Stone went by the nickname Auntie. In 1860 Stone moved to Colorado with her husband, Tunny said. They were offered a job as cooks for military Camp Collins.

At first their house was a commissary-cafeteria of sorts for the soldiers, but while she lived there the house served as Fort Collins’ first hotel, first school and a hospital at times, according to Tunney.

One day, when Stone was teaching her school students in her house, Arapaho Chief Friday and other Arapahos who lived down the road were peeking in the windows.

“They were so amazed there was one woman teaching a bunch of children there,” Tunney said.

“They wanted to see what was going on. They were friendly, but it startled everybody.”

When the military post closed Stone had a lot of influence on how the city of Fort Collins grew.

“She had some very strong opinions of how she thought a town should be,” Tunney said.

“She knew what she wanted in a town, and she started planning it.”

She started the flour mill that is now Ranchway Feed. She invested in a kiln so that people could make brick houses because Stone knew the fire danger of an entire town living in wooden houses, Tunney said.

“And, that’s amazing, first of all, for a woman at the time in the 1860s,” Tunney said. “She had money to invest and she invested in the mill so all of a sudden, in Fort Collins not only are there stores, but there’s also a factory, so it was a big pull to having people coming to Fort Collins.”

She was a proponent of Fort Collins being a dry town, a town without alcohol. She also wanted the town to have a strong religious presence.

“She had a lot to do with Fort Collins being a dry town,” Tunney said. “She did not think that saloons were part of her idea of a town, so she would challenge men to not drink for a month, and she would give them a free meal if they could not drink for a month.”

In Old Town, there are churches on almost every corner. Stone had a lot to do with that according to Tunney. She invited ministers to come out, and in turn, she would put them up in her hotel while they were getting their churches built.

“So she was doing all this to form what the town looked like,” Tunney said. “All with all that she was doing, she still wasn’t allowed to vote.”

Stone was 94 when she took part in her first local election.

Although she would never vote for a president, “she considered

it to be a major stepping stone for women at the time,” Tunney said.

After her death women’s societies in Fort Collins preserved her home as the first home in Fort Collins.

“They kept track of the house every time it was moved,” Tunney said.

The preservation of her house along with the preserved stories about her life are a testament to the kind of person Stone was.

“She must have been a really dynamic person,” Tunney said.

Stone would demand to go camping in the mountains despite everyone’s best wishing according to Tunney, she would tell them to come with her.

For one of her birthdays when she was in her 80s, the soldiers invited her family and threw her a dance party hoping that she would eventually get tired out, but she never did.

“They finally all went home at 5 o’clock in the morning, and she had danced all night,” Tunney said. “When she got home she had all this company in town, so instead of going to bed, she stayed up and cooked everybody breakfast. That gives you kind of the idea of what kind of a person lives out on a prairie and forms a town out of nothing and that was Auntie Stone.”

The Fort Collins Museum of Discovery is open for the public to see parts of what makes Fort Collins the way it is.

When Fort Collins residents can see the blood, sweat and tears that went into building the original city they are inspired to put something special into the city as well, Tunney said.

The museum hosts heritage courtyard days once every three months on a Sunday. For more information, you can visit FCMoD.org.

New Pokémon game generates renewed excitement for the franchise

By Connor DeBlieck @deblieck_connor

Pokémon Sun and Moon, the seventh generation in the massive Nintendo franchise, will be released on Nov. 18 and the hype towards the game could not be any greater.

When a new Pokémon game is announced and “leaked” official information emerges that showcases elements of the new titles as well as some of the new Pokémon that players can capture; it is like an early Christmas.

Sun and Moon is no exception, but unlike the previous six generations in the franchise, Pokemon Sun and Moon are shaping up to be a very special treat.

For those familiar with the games and those who are only familiar with the show or Pokemon GO, the video game features core elements that were always unchanging in the series until now.

Gyms have long been a staple to the Pokemon world. Gyms are places where players and trainers would battle Gym Leaders to further progress through the game and to prove their growing connection with their Pokemon by overcoming these challenges.

But with generation seven, gyms are no more and are instead replaced with what are called Trials where players must do a variety of challenges to complete them and eventually battle what is called a Trial Captain, the equivalent of a gym leader.

The concept that proves to be the most odd is that the game will feature seven Trials whereas when gyms were present in the games, there were always eight of them.

“It’s going to be interesting,” CSU student Derek Wardin said

about the massive change.

Despite his skepticism, he is still excited for the new games to launch.

“I will be getting Pokemon Moon, and my starter would be the fire type, Litten because its final evolution is the best,” Wardin said.

Upon starting each Pokemon game the player is given an option to select one of three starter Pokemon that are always grass type, water type or fire type.

Even with this unchanging element, Sun and Moon again alters what was always a core element with starter Pokemon by allowing the grass starter to now have two types with its second being flying.

Generation seven also introduces new battle mechanics and styles for players who wish to compete against others and have more options. There is now a free-for-all battle mode called the “Battle Royale” that has four players who all battle one another.

“The Battle Royale would be the most interesting thing to me in the game,” Wardin said.

With the “leaks” of new Pokemon coming to an end at the beginning of the month everyone is more excited than ever to put together their new teams as well as the new alternate forms of classic Pokemon such as Meowth, Vulpix and Raichu, who not only look drastically different than they did in the first Pokemon generation but are also given new types. Whereas Vulpix was a fire type originally, he is now an ice type.

“The Alolan forms look really cool, especially Vulpix,” Peter Brunner said.

The drastic changes com-

ing to the series have been met with overwhelming optimism with players eager to see how the game will hold up with its extreme differences from the original titles.

The mechanics of Hidden Machines (HM) needing to be taught to a Pokemon to surpass a physical in-game obstacle will no longer be a factor and players could not be happier.

Sun and Moon, like previous Pokemon games, are both the same game but feature a different Legendary Pokemon as well as different aesthetics. When playing during the daytime in Sun version, the game will show daytime. When playing during the daytime in Moon version, the game will show nighttime.

Both games are fairly divid-

ed with equal amount of players wanting Sun over Moon and vice versa.

Generation seven also happens to have a rare feature that

each player can have a different starter, unlike some previous ti-

tles when one starter was most commonly rejected.

“My starter would most likely be Rowlet, the grass/flying type,” Brunner said.

“Popplio would definitely be my starter because its final evolution, being a water/fairy type would be good for competitive gameplay,” Lee Camacho said.

Camacho also elaborated on how he was a competitive player that participated in tournaments and was excited for the new games because of the new strategies that will come with the new Pokémon.

“Sun version would be my go to because the psychic/steel type legendary would be beneficial for competitive play,” Camacho said.

LYRIC MOVIE REVIEW

‘Certain Women’ drama delivers unique storyline

By Sarah Ehrlich @SarahEhrlich96

Writer and director Kelly Reichardt spins a subtle tale of three women whose lives narrowly cross paths in “Certain Women,” a drama based on short stories from Maile Meloy’s collection “Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It.” In the first of three stories, we follow Laura, impressively played by Laura Dern, an attorney who has been trying to help a fed-up employee win an injury case for months. She constantly tells him winning the case is near impossible based on the circumstance, but the client, named Fuller (Jared Harris), refuses to accept it until another legal expert tells him the same thing Laura did. While Fuller is in shambles hearing this news, Laura sits beside him, disgruntled at the fact Fuller needed to hear the news from a man in order to believe it. Laura’s professional relationship with Fuller is tested as he later seeks retribution for his unfair treatment.

The first panel of this triptych film shows that sexism is not always obviously displayed.

In today’s society, comments about a woman’s appearance or capability can go unnoticed in everyday life but can add on to the vicious cycle of misogyny even successful women such as Laura can experience.

We are abruptly transitioned to the next story, which is the shortest of the three, about Gina Lewis (Michelle Williams) and her husband Ryan (James Le Gros). Gina hopes to find fulfillment and acceptance from her family as they build a house from the ground up. It seems her fragile self esteem is set on buying sandstone slabs from an old rancher in order to complete the house of her dreams and perhaps better her unhappy marriage.

Another theme subtlety in play here is familial tensions and how desperate Gina is to stay true to her family and true to her native land in building this new home.

We take another sharp shift into the third and final story of Jamie played by breakout star Lily Gladstone. Jamie is a lonely Native American ranch hand who seems to have no other social interaction in her life besides the horses she takes care of. This changes when she wanders into a night class taught by an introverted and mysterious law student named Beth (Kristen Stewart). The two develop a short

Lyric Cinema Cafe Showtimes for 11/17 3:45 pm 9:10 pm

and quiet bond. Jamie gradually becomes nervously smitten with Beth who seems apathetic at the gestures Jamie makes. This eventually becomes a downfall of their relationship.

Gladstone puts on such a convincing performance of in-

nocent yearning, it is almost devastating to watch. Gladstone is the underdog of this storyline as she quietly attempts to make a connection with another person who cannot even articulate her feelings.

Director Kelly Reichardt portrays three fine drawn stories of everyday struggles that women experience: misogyny, vulnerability and loneliness, even in quiet and rural settings. This film takes a raw look at the different backgrounds of people living in rural Montana and how normal lives have struggles, big or small.

Should you watch it?: Maybe This slow-burning film almost seemed like too little for the average movie-goer who is spoiled by explosions or dissipation in every other scene, but is just right for those who want a change of pace and a dose of melancholic reality.

Respect the Greats BEER ME:

By Courtney Fromm @courtney_fromm

Throughout these last few months of classes in Beer 101, there has been one very strong constant between all the different presenters; their thoughts on beers created by companies such as Budweiser. Besides the fact that they all compete with this massive fortune five hundred company, these craft beer sellers all said one simple thing... that they have massive respect for companies like Budweiser.

I never thought that they would have respect for them. I thought they might even despise them because of their massive charge of the beer industry they have or that they have the ability to buy any craft beer brewery they want. Well no, all of those answers are wrong. They have respect because of one simple thing, how beer is created.

In previous articles I have gone into detail on the multiple processes of how beer is made.

Now this is something I never really understood before taking these classes. But there is a lot that goes into it and that is where companies like Budweiser excel and that is exactly why they deserve the credit they do.

They are able to brew the same exact batch each and every time they put together a beer.

The craft brewers I have talked to say that this is the hardest thing to do when brewing beer. There are so many different factors that can cause it to taste different each time they brew a barrel. Even if they are using the same exact ingredients as the time before, most say, the batch will always have a slightly different taste than the time before. But not with Budweiser.

Budweiser has 12 different locations across the United States. I bet you did not know that water was such a factor when creating beer right? Well, these craft beer sellers say it is incredible that breweries like Budweiser can use water from all over the United States and still manage to make the beer taste the exact same. This replicated filtering and processing allows beers like Budweiser to be clear, something craft beer brewers say is pretty incredible.

Having a beer that is clear like a Bud Light or other beers created by Budweiser is something that is a trick of the trade.

With this beer being clear means the brewers are not hiding any impurities or other aspects that were used to create the beer.

From what I have learned this takes talent and that is why they deserve the respect they do.

Now craft beer lovers, do

not get upset. There is no hate here for craft beer. There is no hate for large companies either.

I think each type of brew has its own differences and talents and that is what makes drinking beer fun. I would say craft beer is an art form with much more freedom. I would also say that Budweiser is much more business oriented which is also an art form.

Each type of brew has its own differences and talents and that is what makes drinking beer fun.

Either way we’re drinking good beer.

Life somehow still continues on whole week after election Sean Kennedy @seanskenn

Contradicting the predictions of pundits, life is still—somehow— going on an entire week after the election, according to political scientists from across the country.

“It’s amazing! A lot of people in the media reacted like the world was going to end when the president-elect was first announced, but now it’s looking, like, maybe the outcome of all life isn’t determined by elections,” Johnathan Davis, political analyst at the Linden Research Center, said. “I mean, Donald Trump may be able to run a business into the ground in the course of a month, but our research indicates that it’s going to take him a lot longer than that to ruin an entire country.”

A recent study by the Linden Research Center found that life on Earth will not end

with a Trump presidency, and may, in fact, continue on indefinitely as it has after all other presidents have left office.

However, Davis cautioned that the study’s findings were tentative and are only applicable to straight, white men.

“Don’t be mistaken if you see White America sittin’ fine months from now,” Davis said, “The rest of us are in trouble.”

The Golden State Warriors still have work to do before the finals NBA HEAT CHECK

John Scriffiny @JScriff

Based on last year’s finals and the roster moves made by the Warriors over the summer, it is pretty clear who the best team in each conference is.

The Warriors have four of the top fifteen players in the NBA, and the Cavs have LeBron James. But, what about the best teams outside of those two powerhouses in their respective conference, and do they have the potential to knock off either team?

Today, I will be looking at

what team in the East has the best chance at meeting the Cavs in the Eastern Conference Finals this year, and later this week I will take a look at the West.

Last year, the Cavs actually got a decent test from the Toronto Raptors, who managed to push the eventual champs to six games in the Eastern Conference Finals. Thus far, the Raptors look like they are the team to beat in the East besides the Cavs.

There was some potential for the Celtics to finally make a postseason run but, barring a blockbuster deal, Boston’s rebounding and rim protection woes stand in the way of them having a real chance.

Boston also has not managed to get out of the first round in the Brad Stevens era, so I am not sold on the Celts as the

second best team in the East. It is early, however, and they have been without big ticket free agent Al Horford for most of the early going.

I do not know if they have what it takes to beat the Cavs, but Toronto is still the second best team in the East.

The Atlanta Hawks are also a

team that has been playing very well so far.

Dwight Howard is having a big bounce back year through the team’s first nine games.

Dennis Schroeder has done a nice job at starting point guard and recently re-signed guard Kent Bazemore has made some highlight plays for the Hawks.

Despite this, there is an obvious ceiling on Mike Budenholzer’s Hawks. They do not have a go-to scorer who can get points when the offense bogs down which is critical to have in the playoffs.

Paul Millsap is good, but he is no Kevin Durant or LeBron James when it comes to one on one scoring. The Hawks typically find success in the regular season due to the team’s defenses not having much time to prepare for their attack.

Come playoff time, like last

year and the year before, the Hawks probably will not have the firepower to overcome the Cavs or Raptors.

This being said, the Raptors still are the second best team in the East. Expect them to make a reappearance in the Eastern Conference Finals as the two seed.

DeMar Derozan is leading the NBA in scoring with 34 points per game, Valanciunas is the backbone of a strong frontcourt, and Kyle Lowry is a great floor general. They added depth with Jared Sullinger to an already deep bench that includes Cory Joseph, Terrence Ross and Norman Powell.

I do not know if they have what it takes to beat the Cavs, but Toronto is still the second best team in the East.

Nerdy News: New Persona game?

Earlier last month the director of Persona 4’s fighting series announced the possibility of a Persona 5 fighting game ahead of the U.S. release of the 5th game.

Kazuhisa Wada said: “Regarding a Persona 5: Arena title... We’ve just finished putting our all into Persona 5 itself, so it’d have to be something we’d discuss further down the line but I definitely want to make it happen.”

The original Persona fighting game came out in 2012 and featured characters such as Yu Narukami and Yosuke Hanamura from the Persona 4 franchise.

Players also got to experience their favorites from Persona 3 with the release of the sequel fighting game Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. Each game features the usual characteristics of fighting games, including 2-D back and forth movements with jumps and button heavy moves.

What makes the game special though is the introduction of new characters outside of the old ones we know and love, as well as the ability to use each character’s persona for special moves. The personas encompass a similar bar that powers up over time, similar to the special moves in Injustice or Skullgirls.

The Persona 4 Arena games were also easier for new players with

some characters being powerful enough to win through sheer button mashing tactics alone.

While most fighting games require skill to learn move sets for a character, releasing a Persona 5 Arena game will give fans of the franchise more characters to explore and the chance to see whether or not they like the specific move sets of those characters.

Persona 5’s theme revolves around thieves, whereas Persona 4 focused on friendship, so if the game follows what it is based off of, we can expect the game to look grittier than the Persona 4 Arena series. Persona 4 made use of a lot of yellows and bright colors, whereas the color palette associated with Persona 5 is black, dark reds and other dark shades. I do not think any fighting game can look as gritty as Mortal Kombat or Injustice, but Persona 5 will definitely look different when compared to Persona 4 based on colors alone.

Fans can also expect fun move sets from various Persona 5 characters based on what we have seen through teaser videos that led up to the Japan release in September. We can assume that characters such as Makoto Niijima might have a similar playstyle to Kanji, especially after seeing her outfit and persona in a teaser.

Makoto has spiked knuckles and a motorcycle as a persona, so when she uses her persona, they may animate it so she runs over the other player with a special move. Kanji, on the other hand, looks like a delinquent, and in the Persona 4 Arena franchise,

he would hit you with a chair repeatedly. Maybe Makoto hits similar to Kanji. Otherwise, the closest character to Kanji would be Ryuji Sakamoto. His persona is Captain Kidd so when he uses his special move he may have the giant pirate ship fire its cannons at the other player.

Regardless of how it all turns out, the idea of a new Persona fighting game sounds like a lot of fun. The color schemes will definitely change but they may bring back older places from the previous installments.

It would also be awesome if they end up incorporating more characters from the third and fourth installments of the Persona franchise. I remember playing Ultimax and only seeing Elizabeth as playable, but there are other people from velvet rooms past that would be fun to play.

There is also a lot more Atlus might be able to do with the franchise by incorporating some other elements to the game. If Atlus made a decision-making factor for the story mode so that you could have a few endings for characters, or if they add scene changes like the Injustice franchise as well as usable pieces in each arena, that could be fun.

By doing that it may take a lot away from the fighting aspect since you would need to know the arena to make it better, but I’m sure Atlus has some tricks up their sleeves to make a great Persona 5 Arena game(at least, that’s what Wada teased).
