Two-factor authentication to be enacted By Yixuan Xie @YixuanXie1
“I hope that students are able to be their whole self,” Ambrose said. “And, it is a place and space for social gathering, learning from one another and community connections. It’s really important to have places to consistently go to that makes the campus feel smaller.” Guerrero said Queer Connections is an expansion of the PRC’s first year mentor program.
With increasing issues of data leaks in the digital era, Colorado State University will require students, faculty and staff to use a two-factor authentication system beginning April 25, which requires users to use two different methods to identify themselves, such as entering a username and password, by adding a second level of authentication to the login process. According to Dave Hoffman, the project manager for Academic Computing Network and Services, there are two reasons to use the two-factor authentication: to better protect personal identity information of each individual on campus and to protect the intellectual property of the University, such as research information. “There are places being hacked,” Hoffman said, referencing how ransomware affected the Colorado Department of Transportation in late February. “Hackers encrypt all of your data and all of your computer to demand a ransom somewhere in order to unlock it all. We just need to protect ourselves from those things.” At CSU, users will be required to use a phone or another token in addition to their username and password in order to complete the login. Registering a secondfactor device began March 19, but students and faculty can still register a second device by clicking on the Sign-Up/ Modify Devices button on the www.authenticate.colostate.edu website. Hoffman said the Central IT Technical Support Helpdesk

Queer Connections creates new discussion space By Maddie Wright @maddierwright
A big campus is daunting. It can be even more intimidating when you don’t have a community to turn to. As of this semester, Queer Connections is providing a space for Colorado State University students who identify as LGBTQ+ to feel safe and supported. Queer Connections is a new student organization that meets every other Wednesday
from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Pride Resource Center. The organization is “a group that focuses on navigating personal, professional and social aspects of day-to-day life. All trans, queer, and questioning folks are welcome.” Because this is the organization’s first semester, their activities will be determined by the students who are part of it. “It’s mostly going to be discussion-based,” said Angelise Guerrero, a
sophomore health and exercise science student who cofacilitates Queer Connections alongside V Bellinger, a junior ethnic studies student. “We want to make this a space where you can come to talk about queer issues and also not queer issues. Just be yourself, make friends (and) build community.” Assistant Director for the PRC, Emily Ambrose, said students comfortability is at the forefront of the organization’s intentions.

Brust-Winchell campaign fined for campaigning early By Rachel Telljohn @racheltelljohn
As the race towards next year’s presidency continues, the first campaign violations came down the pipelines for those vying for the role of president and vice president for the Associated Students of Colorado State University. Allec Brust and Mareena Winchell received their first violation the week of March 19, following the publication of Brust’s last opinion column for The Collegian. Elections Manager Tyler Siri explained the violation regarding the article stemmed from the fact that the article ran before the official time of campaigning. There was some debate over whether or not the article initially counted as campaigning. “The Elections Committee, through discussion, came to the conclusion that the content of the article constituted campaigning, which is not allowed before the official start time,” Siri wrote in an email to The Collegian.
Brust explained in an email to The Collegian the paper was distributed on campus prior to 8 a.m. According to the ASCSU Elections Code, campaigns cannot begin prior to 8 a.m., and a member of an opposing campaign filed a complaint. Brust-Winchell was found guilty by a vote of 8-3 and fined $50. “We did not believe we were guilty because the column ran directly adjacent to a news story with quotes from every other campaign,” Brust wrote. “Also, I had already ended my time as a Collegian editor, so when The Collegian publishes stories, (it) was no longer in my control.” Both the Aubrey-Roper and Syron-Sullivan campaigns were assessed for breaching code additionally, Brust wrote, as complaints were filed on the grounds that the other two campaigns also began campaigning before start time. Both campaigns converted their personal Instagrams to campaign accounts, amassing more followers prior to the designated start time, Brust wrote. Both

teams were voted not guilty by an 11-0 vote. “We do not agree with either decision,” Brust wrote. “I believe that both the campaigns in question did violate Elections Code and that our own campaign did not violate the rules due to my absence from The Collegian and also the fact that every campaign detailed their platforms in the page directly next to my column.” Rachel Telljohn can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Man arrested for possession of CSU, Poudre School District formalize 700,000 child pornography files academic, athletic partnership Monday By Austin Fleskes
By Stuart Smith
A man was arrested after a months-long investigation revealed the man in possession of approximately 700,000 child pornography files. Thomas Christopher Mares, 53, was arrested March 15. According to a press release by the City of Fort Collins, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) contacted the Fort Collins Police Department in July of 2017 regarding “multiple cybertops NCMEC had received from an Internet Service Provider regarding sexually explicit images of children detected on the ISP’s network.” Detectives conducted an investigation following this information, which led to the confiscation of several digital devices belonging to mares. “A computer forensic investigator located approximately 676,000 pictures and 18,000 video files depicting sexual exploitation of children on the devices,” the release explained. “Based on facts gathered during the investigation, detectives estimate that Mares had been collecting pornographic images of children for 10-15 years. Mares was arrested and booked into the Larimer County Jail on 60 counts of Possession of Child Exploitative Material, which is
Colorado State University and Poudre School District announced a solidified partnership between the two institutions on Monday. CSU President Tony Frank and PSD Superintendent Sandra Smyser both spoke of the quality of education from both organizations and the strong connection between the two. “These are two of the largest employers (in Fort Collins), and certainly a critical part of this community,” Frank said. Smyser added later many administrators in the district have ties to the University, with only about ten of the 150 not graduates in some way. “The leaders in this district have close loyalty to CSU, on a very personal level, because we are alumns,” she said. No real announcements were made during the halfhour ceremony, but instead served to reiterate the more than half a dozen programs that are already in place between the district and the University. Those programs include Reading with the Rams, where student athletes at CSU read to elementary school kids in their classrooms, and CSU’s physics program Little Shop of Physics, which visits more than two dozen PSD schools

As of the morning of March 21, 1,800 people had already registered, and over the last six months, a little over 13,000 people have used the service. Hoffman said students will benefit from two-factor authentication by feeling more comfortable that their data, which they may not want publicly shared, is being protected. “Anytime you have to log in with your username and your password, there are lots of people that are trying to figure out what that information is through phishing attacks and through a lot of other methods,” Hoffman said. “But, if people could get your user ID and your password, they still cannot log

in to your account if you have two-factor authentication set up, unless they also have your cell phone or whatever you are using as a second-factor device.” The first phase to implement two-factor authentication will be restricted to anyone using the secure.colostate.edu web portal or the Pulse Secure desktop or mobile client to connect to CSU. Hoffman said anyone who has never used secure.colostate.edu to login or Pulse Secure will not be affected. Hoffman said ACNS is considering using email for the second phase of protecting campus networks. “That would not be necessarily your Ram account on Google because you can currently set up Google for twofactor authentication if you want to. But if you have an Office365 account, you will be required at some point (in) time to use two-factor authentication,” Hoffman said. “All new students starting spring of 2019 will be provisioned with an Office365
account.” “We would recommend each person register a backup device in case you lose your phone or forget it at home or the battery is dead,” Hoffman said. For people who travel internationally, Hoffman said they can use a token or register international phone numbers. Grace McKevitt, a sophomore nutrition and food science major, said she really likes the change. “I like it because it reduces the risk of some people hacking into your account where you have a lot of stuff,” McKevitt said. Kimberly Lopez, a sophomore biological science major, said she can see the pros of two-factor authentication. “I don’t think it’s that much extra work because there are a ton of other pop-ups that ask you to verify your identity,” Lopez said. “It is better to have that security.” Yixuan Xie can be reached at news@collegian.com.

every year along with their free on-campus events. There are also various days throughout the year when PSD students are invited to tour the campus. Additionally, CSU made commitments to give out scholarship money to students and graduates of Poudre School District, with $3.7 million given to PSD students last year. “I don’t often get applause for expenditure,” Frank joked after announcing that number. Frank continued and said they were gathered in the Indoor Rams Club on the sixth floor of the new stadium to plan for the future. “We want to invest more in it, we want to be more intentional about it, we want to make sure that we don’t miss an opportunity to recognize it,
celebrate it, and say thank you to each other for the value of that partnership,” Frank said. “The stronger this partnership is, the stronger I believe the community of Fort Collins will be.” Lincoln Middle School Athletic Director Tony Garcia said as a teacher he was thankful for the program that is helping his students. “This partnership is building a blueprint for our kids,” Garcia said. “There is nothing more powerful than the gift of hope that you instill in a child. When you give someone hope, problems become solved, dreams become reality and impossibles (sic) become possible.” Stuart Smith can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Athletics, University Facility Fee Advisory Board present fee proposals By Charlotte Lang @ChartrickWrites
Representatives from the Athletic Department and the University Facility Fee Advisory Board presented their fee proposals to the Student Fee Review Board on Monday afternoon. The Athletic Department was represented by Deputy Athletic Director Steve Cottingham and Associate Athletic Director Matt Klein. Cottingham led the presentation for their proposed increase of less than $35,000. The increase is meant to go back to student hourly positions in order to cover the expected increase in Colorado’s minimum wage, according to Cottingham. “We have about $350,000 in
student annual hourly payroll and (the increase) would essentially pay for that ten percent increase,” Cottingham said. “So, that would be money that’s going directly back to students.” According to Cottingham and Klein, the athletic department currently has 140 student workers, 50 of which are on work study. “Any department we have in athletics, we have some kind of student worker,” Klein said. This was the only expense discussed that would prompt the increase through other expenses, such as financial aid and operations. Another expense for this department is the stadium expense, one that Cottingham said students never pay for through fees.

“No student fees go towards the stadium,” Cottingham said. “No tuition goes towards the stadium. All the stuff that’s happening at the stadium is being funded by the revenue being generated by the football program and other things we do over there.” Afterward, the UFFAB proposal was presented by Tristan Syron. “Our mission is to offer guidance and advice to the University on what they should do with the student fee and then we present it to (the Student Fee Review Board),” Syron said to begin the presentation. UFFAB did not ask for any fee increases this year. The current fee is $21.75 per credit per semester, which is the largest student fee on campus and provides the board approximately $1.5 million.
Projects, according to Syron, are approved and dismissed based on their enhancements to aesthetics, academic research and the overall University. Last year, they approved seven out of nine project proposals. These seven projects used up the exact amount of money that was allocated from the UFFAB student fee last year. Syron spent most of the time going over past and planned projects UFFAB has approved. These consisted mainly of classroom remodeling and other similar updates. A planned project that, according to Syron, UFFAB has not quite done before is the “Sherwood Forest Outdoor Learning Lab.” “We’re redoing the retaining wall with material
that will last a lot longer and making it more accessible to get in … a super accessible outdoor learning area,” Syron said. “It adhered to that academic part and the aesthetics of the entire project.” When asked by a member of SFRB if UFFAB anticipates a fee increase for next year, Syron said “never.” Voting for both of these proposals will occur at next week’s meeting, where the Career Center and the University Technology Fee Advisory Board will present. This week’s meeting ended with voting on the previous proposals from SLiCE and Campus Recreation Center. Both were approved. Charlotte Lang can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Student fracking protest should inspire more action Leta McWilliams @LetaMcWilliams
Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by The Collegian or its editorial board. Cullen Lobe is a former columnist for The Collegian opinion desk. Recently, protests have been happening all around America. This past weekend, there were marches all around the world for the March for Our Lives, led by students to bring awareness to gun violence in schools after the Parkland shooting. However, an environmental protest happened earlier this month that was close to home, and we should be proud of our fellow student who participated. Cullen Lobe, a junior at CSU studying journalism and environmental affairs, participated in a protest on March 8 against a fracking project by the Extraction Oil & Gas Company in Greeley. Lobe chained himself to the heavy operating equipment on site, and spent 12 hours in jail as a result. Long before this protest,
Lobe wrote articles for The Collegian in our opinion section, discussing the relationship between law enforcement and protestors, the harmful effects of pipeline projects, and even wrote an article urging to stop the fracking project in Greeley. He showed his long-term commitment to this ideal in his protest and arrest. This type of integrity is something that should be praised.
“Students should look at Lobe’s protest and be inspired to take a stand on environmental justice. Environmental justice is something we need to pay attention to, especially with America’s current political leaders fighting against it.” There are many negative effects that come from fracking, including air and water pollution, exposure to toxic chemicals, potential oil spills and the possibility of earthquakes. According to a map created by the Denver Post, northern Colorado is a hot spot for fracking and oil and
gas wells. Protesting against these harmful environmental consequences is something to be proud of. However, the protest wasn’t just about the consequences of fracking on the environment. It was also to bring to light the negative implications on Greeley’s community and giving a voice to those who live in the community. “There’s a big environmental racism problem going on with this project,” Lobe said. “A lot of the parents (in Weld County) are either undocumented or working multiple jobs to support their children, so they don’t want to jeopardize their lives. It’s really important for us to stick up for them because if the parents aren’t in the position to fight and stick up for what they want, then that’s what we’re here for.” The fracking project is located about 1,300 feet from Bella Romero Academy, a Greeley middle school that is 82 percent Latinx and 93 percent of students are from lowincome families, according to GreatSchools, a nonprofit. The protesters were using their voices and their privilege to stand up for this community, and it should inspire other students here at CSU to do the same. “Just seeing the faces of the people at the school and their

families was a really inspiring moment, to see their support,” Lobe said. “Then seeing (Extraction) come out with their equipment… the combination of urgency and seeing these kids and parents and realizing that they are just humans and that we all need help, we all need to come together and fight to protect what we have left.” Students should look at Lobe’s protest and be inspired to take a stand on environmental justice. Environmental justice is something we need to pay attention to, especially with America’s current political leaders fighting against it. We
have a voice and the ability to help the environment, and we should take these opportunities to make a difference. There are so many organizations CSU students can join in order to fight for the environment. Defend Our Future is an organization meant to fight for the environment that is very present on CSU’s campus. If you want to get involved, stop and listen to them and learn what you can do to make a difference. Leta McWilliams can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

Turning Point USA supports CSUnity By CSU Turning Point USA @tpusacsurams
Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by The Collegian or its editorial board. Guest columns are the view of a campus community member who periodically contributes columns. The CSU chapter of Turning Point USA is a conservative nonprofit student organization. “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” These powerful words are as important today as they were in 1776. Today, Americans from every walk of life—from different gender identities, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, languages, ages, political affiliations, and more— enjoy the freedom to express their values and beliefs with their community, thanks to the unique framework provided by our nation’s Founding Fathers. Unfortunately, despite our collective freedom to express our unique values, it is all too common in today’s America to jump to an immediate conclusion that those who disagree with you politically are inherently your enemy. We see this phenomenon play out all too often on our campus in our student media outlets, on social
media, and even in face-to-face interactions in classrooms or on the LSC Plaza. Students from across our community may feel isolated, ostracized and even targeted by one another namely as a result of political differences— and we must remind ourselves of what unites us, not divides us. It’s time for a turning point at Colorado State University. This Thursday, our organization, along with many others, will be engaging in “CSUnite: No Place 4 h8”—a gathering and walk organized by the CSU administration and the Associated Students of Colorado State University. The event is to express solidarity with all Rams in response to acts of hate and bias that have occurred on campus this year, and to acknowledge the deep impact these actions have caused to all members of our CSU community. In the words of President Tony Frank, “In participating in this walk and gathering together, we reach across whatever divides us and accept our responsibility to uphold one another, to be alongside those who have been personally harmed or targeted by acts of hate and bias … what affects one of us, affects all of us.” Truly, despite the things that appear to divide us, the CSU community is a family bound

together by our commonality— by our green and gold, by our beloved CAM the Ram, by the stunning Colorado landscape that surrounds our campus. We love hammocking by the Lagoon on Friday afternoons, riding our bikes to Old Town, and doing polar plunges into Horsetooth Reservoir. We join together in the words of our fight song as we march on through the adversity that affects us all—stalwart as one community joined together in the face of hate.
In the coming days, weeks, months, and even years, we challenge the members of our community currently content to label those different from themselves with hate to instead embrace a culture of love for all CSU Rams. Engage in intentional time aimed at understanding and accepting the individuals who hold different belief systems than yourself. You may be surprised at the things you hold in common. Join us this Thursday at 3 p.m. at Newton’s Corner, the
sculpture at the intersection of Pitkin and Centre, just south of the Behavioral Sciences Building, in support of all Rams from all walks of life. Truly, what affects one of us, affects all of us. We are all proud to be CSU Rams, and together, we can bridge any divide between us and bring about a turning point toward unity. The Collegian’s opinion desk can be reached at letters@collegian. com.

Religion is still relevant for college students Ryan Tougaw @rjtougaw
Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by the Collegian or its editorial board. Religion is a funny thing. It seems to just endure the test of time, being prevalent in virtually every human society to date. It takes many different shapes, from polytheism to monotheism, with roots spreading out all over the world. No matter where people go, religion seems to follow. It also manages to endure criticism, time and time again. For instance, in the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church as an institution was responsible for quite a lot of human death, yet it still remains today as one of the most popular religious institutions in the world.
College religiosity has steadily declined over the years, with about 32 percent of college students identifying themselves as religious. But religion is still relevant to college students, in spite of these declining numbers. This is because religion is predicated not on blind faith in the words of a book written thousands of years ago, but on underlying archetypes that innately resonate with humans. Basically, these archetypes are the personification of traits that humans consider to be worth validation. Despite falling numbers, as students learn more and grow in a university setting, these archetypes will continue to resonate with them. Churches have enjoyed a recent resurgence on college campuses with new evangelical presences marketed specifically to students, like Campus Crusade for Christ, doubling or tripling in size. While the rising popularity of atheism may have caused a brief dip in college student belief
numbers, religion will always come back to college campuses, because the concepts themselves will always appeal to humanity. This isn’t solely relegated to religion; this idea is what makes a good movie or story. Being able to relate to the embodiment of human emotion is what makes old playwrights and authors like Shakespeare and Chaucer still relevant. Jesus once said, depending on the version of The Bible you read, that there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. This motif is everywhere in the movie industry. Productions like “Braveheart,” “Saving Private Ryan,” “The Great Gatsby,” “Romeo and Juliet” and “Titanic” all feature this idea. These are some of the best productions ever made too. Let’s not lie; it’s compelling. Getting attached to a character, watching them grow and develop, seeing them get in epic fights they barely survive only to lay down everything they’ve worked so hard
for in favor of the greater good makes for popcorn-pounding viewing. This theme is also seen with the concept of justice. The idea of “an eye for an eye” is quite prominent in the Old Testament. “Your eye shall not pity. It shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.” Sacrificing yourself is everywhere in the movie industry; this idea is simply ubiquitous. A protagonist conquering an antagonist after a movies-worth of beatings is simply one of the most satisfying things in existence. But this isn’t a conscious joy. No one sees a riveting film where the protagonist does something profound and says, “you know, I really liked that because it speaks to an innate desire that I have for justice.” It’s just there, under the surface, and movies are superb at speaking to it. So is religion. College students are a major movie-going demographic, so it makes sense that these same
themes will be appealing to the students. Jesus preached things that were so radically different from the status-quo of the time; universal human truths of equality under God, equality of men and women, laying down your life for another, the idea that the human soul was worth something, and that each life mattered. These teachings were extraordinarily different from the Roman Empire’s philosophies, and yet his teachings outlived the Roman Empire. This is because the teachings of Jesus spoke to the themes of humanity, and not skin-deep social aspects of people like the Romans did. Just like the movies, archetypal stories are far more compelling than their stereotypical counterparts. Because of this compelling narrative, the rebirth of religion on college campuses will be a successful one. Ryan Tougaw can be reached online at letters@collegian.com.

FOOTBALL
Experienced backfield breeds stiff competition for CSU By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_
It’s rare for a position group to lose its top producer from a season ago and still be one of the most experienced groups on the field. For Colorado State’s running backs, though, that’s exactly the case. CSU’s rushing attack last season was paced by secondteam All-Mountain West selection Dalyn Dawkins. Dawkins ranked 19th in the country in rushing, totaling nearly 1,399 yards, fifth alltime in a season at CSU. He also finished his career third in the program’s all-time rushing ranks. Despite his departure, the Rams return four running backs who all have ample in-game experience, including senior Izzy Matthews. A contributor in each of his first three years, Matthews’ experience figures to make the transition smoother. “We obviously lost one of the best players in the conference in Dalyn Dawkins,” head coach Mike Bobo said. “We’ve got Izzy Matthews coming back that’s played in this league for three years going on his fourth year, (Rashaad) Boddie got some valuable experience last year.” “Marvin (Kinsey Jr.) I think looks close to full speed, he had a couple long runs today and looked good. Darius May had a
couple runs. All those guys have a little experience playing, so they need to be a strength of our team.” Possibly more important than the loss of his production, Dawkins’ leadership will be missed. Throughout last season, Dawkins set the standard for preparation, something running backs coach Bryan Applewhite said fed throughout the entire position.
RUNNING BACK OPTIONS 2017 STATS ■ Senior Izzy Matthews: 132 car-
ries, 642 yards, 8 touchdowns ■ Redshirt sophomore Rashaad Boddie: 44 carries, 260 yards, 4 touchdowns ■ Junior Marvin Kinsey Jr.: 26 carries, 128 yards, 2 touchdowns ■ Redshirt sophomore Darius May: 12 carries, 66 yards ■ Sophomore Marcus McElroy: 2 carries, 9 yards Led by Dawkins, the group set a goal of being the hardest working unit in every practice. Now, Matthews’ seniority makes him the next man in line to lead a talented collection of rushers. “(Matthews) has done a
great job of teaching them,” Applewhite said. “Play with emotion, but don’t get emotional. The minute you get emotional, you start to lose focus, but I do want them to play with emotion and intensity. Izzy does a really good job of mentoring them, teaching them the finer things of the plays and little intricacies of that position.” One of the biggest wild cards on the team will be Marvin Kinsey Jr. The explosive runner showed his playmaking ability in an impressive freshman season before tearing his ACL in the regular-season finale. Last year, the mental barrier from an ACL tear proved difficult for Kinsey Jr. to overcome. Though he was cleared to participate for the entire season, Kinsey only received 26 carries for 124 yards, down from 93 carries and 546 his freshman campaign. Part of the lack of reps came due to Kinsey’s lack of ball security and maturity, something Bobo believes is the next step for the back to make a bigger impact. “It’s mental with the ACL, and then it’s mental maturity,” Bobo said. “His big deal is he’s immature. He loves playing ball but sometimes he doesn’t take things serious enough to be the best player that he can be.” In addition to Kinsey and

Matthews, redshirt sophomores Rashaad Boddie and Darius May return with experience. Sophomore Marcus McElroy also saw limited time last year and offers another cog in the running back competition. Though Matthews has the most experience and success of the plethora of returning options, he and Applewhite know that nothing is set in stone. “They don’t know who the starter is, I don’t know who it is and they’re competing for it,” Applewhite said. “That depth chart changes every day. It could change by the play, it could change after a drill. There’s
no seceding to Izzy, none whatsoever, and Izzy knows that and Izzy doesn’t want that. He wants to be challenged.” Applewhite said that competition has been strong through the opening four practices of spring. The next step for the running backs will be stringing that effort together on an everyday basis. “Trying to be dominant every day, that’s what we preach is trying to be the best that you can be every day and that biggest hurdle is probably being able to do that every single day,” Applewhite said.

TENNIS
Injury-laden Rams drop two matches at home By Michelle Gould @michellegouldd
After consecutive weekends on the road, the Colorado State women’s tennis team returned home to the CSU Tennis Complex to battle against Creighton University and Weber State for back-to-back matches. Despite the home court advantage and warm weather in Fort Collins, the Rams dropped the duals against both schools. Sophomore Alyssa Grijalva, the team’s current season record holder for singles wins, was not able to compete after suffering a concussion earlier in the week. The Rams faced the Creighton Bluejays on Saturday to begin the weekend. Doubles play started the matchup with hope for the limited number of Rams on the court. Solene Crawley and Emma Corwin paired up to take on Darby Rosette and Kendra Lavallee, beating the Bluejays, 6-1. Securing the Rams’ doubles team point was the duo of Riley Reeves and Emily Kolbow. The two swiftly defeated Claire Embree and Erin Epperson, 6-1.
With only five players entered in singles, the Rams suffered. Emily Luetschwager was the only CSU player to win her singles match. Luetschwager defeated Michaela Henne, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3. Without Grijalva in the mix, Creighton’s Celine Massereau won her singles match by default. To follow, Rams Priscilla Palermo, Kolbow, Corwin and Crawley all lost their singles matches. “We played well to get the doubles point, but we will absolutely have to step up our singles tomorrow,” coach Jarod Camerota said. “It’s tough with injuries, but it’s how the seasons go and a lot of teams are having to deal with it.” Coach Camerota and his players remained hopeful as they went into play with Weber State on Sunday. The Rams gained the first advantage, beginning the day with a victory in doubles play. Luetschwager teamed up with Palermo, to fill Grijalva’s absence, and the duo defeated Caitlin Herb and Pei-Hsuan Kuo, 6-3, 6-1. Reeves and
Kolbow took the doubles team point with their win over Mckenna Lloyd and Emily Tanner, 6-0. Moving into singles play, CSU continued to shine. Freshmen Luetschwager and Palermo walked away with individual victories over Kuo, (6-3,61) and Herb (6-1,4-6,6-4), respectively. Luetschwager’s win was her first singles match at No. 1 and increased her singles record to 10-4 this season. Although the Rams embraced a promising start, the absence of Grijalva proved to be costly once again. Weber State’s Lloyd gained a victory for the Wildcats with an automatic win in her singles match. Kolbow, Corwin and Crawley were defeated by their Wildcat opponents, Dominique Beauvais, Tereza Pilzova and Morgan Dickason, respectively. “We’re playing good doubles, so that’s definitely one positive from this weekend,” Camerota said. “We need to continue doing that and get healthy. We’ll be ready

CLUB SPORTS
CSU wins Border War series to begin tough conference schedule By Sergio Santistevan @TheRealsSergio
Ask any player on the Colorado State club baseball team and they will say that their season began last weekend. In a season that has resulted in many gutwrenching losses, the Rams took the field last weekend hoping to start their conference season in winning fashion. The University of Wyoming visited City Park Field in Fort Collins for the annual Border War series. After losing the first of four games, CSU went on to win the series 3-1. The series began Saturday evening with a doubleheader. CSU had a chance to change the momentum of the game in the top of the sixth inning after a Luke Demolli RBI, which shrunk the Cowboys lead to two runs. However, the Cowboys’ outfield quickly responded by robbing CSU’s Jake Walker of a near home run. In the bottom of the sixth
inning, CSU pitcher Isaiah Johnson surrendered three runs to increase the Wyoming lead to 8-3. Despite a seventhinning push, the Rams were unable to overcome the lead and fell by the score of 8-5. “We didn’t come out strong in the first game,” junior pitcher Phelan Castellano said. “There were a couple of mental mistakes that we had that we could have avoided.” In the second game, the Rams were a new team. Wyoming started pitcher Jaret Fullowski, who is also a member of the Wyoming football team as a defensive end, and CSU started Castellano on the mound. After losing the first game, Castellano wanted to help motivate his team to move on and look ahead. Much like the “fortitude” tattoo on his arm, Castellano had the mindset to overcome the adversity of the first game. Castellano allowed one run in the bottom of the first to give Wyoming an early 1-0 lead. However, the southpaw caught fire in the bottom of the
second inning and turned the game and series around for the Rams. “I just went out there with that fire in my stomach and that fire in my heart,” Castellano said. In the third inning, Fullowksi struggled to gain control of his pitches. Jake Walker advanced to first base off an error, followed by a Brandon DeLay base hit. With the bases loaded following a walk and one out, Jared Van Vark hit a sacrifice fly to bring in Walker and tie the game at 1-1. First baseman Luke Demolli hit a single that brought in two runs a few minutes later to give the Rams a 3-1 lead. The Rams added two runs to their lead in the fourth inning, due in large part to sloppy defense from Wyoming. Brandon DeLay and Austin Trinidad both hit singles off Fullowksi to reach first and second base. A wild pitch, an RBI single and an overthrow to second base on a steal attempt allowed the two runs to score. Despite ceding a run
the next inning, the Rams proceeded to put the game out of reach off Wyoming relief pitcher Augie De Ryk. After De Ryk walked the first two batters and allowed a base hit to load the bases, DeLay sent a ball up the middle for an RBI double and the 7-2 lead. Trinidad followed in DeLay’s path with an RBI double of his own and increased the score to 9-2. Brandon Severinsen continued the hitting extravaganza by bringing in Trinidad before scoring on sacrifice fly for the Rams 11th run of the game. “To drop 11 runs … and the amount of hits that we did it just felt great,” Severinsen said. “It felt like the flood gates finally opened.” Castellano checked out in the bottom of the sixth inning and Wyoming proceeded to score four more runs to reach the final score of 11-6. CSU pitching coach Chris McIntosh was satisfied with Castellano’s pitching performance. “Phe (Castellano) threw great. He’s our bulldog,” McIntosh said. “We had a
monkey on our back with the losing streak. Once we broke it open a little we got that monkey off our back and started playing loose.” On Sunday, the Rams’ offense and pitching extended off their Saturday win. The Rams won the first game of the doubleheader 15-4 and game two 13-1. “Hopefully we don’t look back from here,” Severinsen said. “Hopefully it just keeps us going.” Castellano wants to assure the fans that despite the slow start to the season, this is not a rebuilding year. “We’re sick of losing,” he said. “We’re still Colorado State baseball.” CSU will look to continue momentum against Metro State University Tuesday night at City Park Field in Fort Collins at 7 p.m. After that, the Rams have a three-game home series versus conference opponent Colorado Mesa University that begins on March 30.

CONCERTS
Gregory Allicar Museum of Art to host free concerts By Maddie Wright @maddierwright
As the last full month of school arrives, the motivation might decrease for some. The Gregory Allicar Museum of Art is offering possible musical interludes for studying. The Museum, located in the University Center for the Arts, has planned four free concerts this April. The first two concerts will both happen on April 10, the first at noon and the second at 6 p.m., as a part of the music in the museum series. This is the second season that the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art and the School of Music, Theatre and Dance are collaborating on a visual and auditory performance to explore “the cross-fertilization between music and the visual arts,” according to a press release. There will be performances by Colorado State University music faculty with an
explanation of the history of a piece given by the Department of Art and Art History and the School of Music, Theatre and Dance. Both performances are free and can be reserved at artmuseum.colostate.edu/ music-museum-concertseriesat.
FOUR FREE CONCERTS ■ “Music in the Museum Consert
Series” April 10, noon and 6 p.m. ■ “April Fools Songs” April 20, 3 p.m. ■ “Javanese Gamelan Music Concert” April 27, 3 p.m.
The third concert is April 20 at 3 p.m. This performance is titled “April Fools Songs” and will be performed by the Denver Art Song Project, which “presents innovative, themed art song programs that use spoken word, art and super-
titles. Their mission is to create an art song community of professional performers and audience through recitals, online programs, educational outreach, and recordings,” according to their website. The idea of this performance is to perform a compilation of classical art songs with a comical side, as art song is a piece usually with one voice accompanied by a piano. This performance is an opportunity to experience art songs for those who are not familiar with them. It will include pieces from foreign songs to modern comedic takings, according to a press release. The fourth and final concert will be April 27 at 3 p.m. This performance is titled “Javanese Gamelan Music Concert.” The Javanese Gamelan Music and Dance comes from Indonesia and is described as an “Indonesian cultural highlight,” according to a press release. Gamelan orchestra is an ensemble of
LOOKING FOR A JOB IN
music made up mostly of percussion instruments and is used in part for teaching world music classes in universities in Colorado and across the nation. The Javanese Palace culture, including traditional pieces of gamelan music and dance, were considered sacred and were to only be performed in the Javanese Palace Community, according to a press release. However, now it has been expanded into foreign countries and the public can experience the culture. This concert will be performed by ARCINDA, a Fort Collins/Loveland based non-profit that performs Javanese Gamelan music. They will be performing both classic and contemporary music with the hopes of the audience experiencing the difference. Maddie Wright can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

Queer >> from page 1 “Last semester, we had a first year student network, and we wanted to open it up (and) make it not just first years,” Guerrero said.”So it’s a space that’s not like the other student orgs where you have to identify within a certain intersectionality or identity. It’s a place where you can go to just talk about things.” Queer Connections is also an opportunity to make the PRC more accessible, Ambrose said.

“We want to always be committed to something where you can just drop into,” Ambrose said. “It can feel daunting to just come and hang out if you’re not super familiar. If you need to wait for an event two months from now or you’re not feeling confident enough to go to a student org
by yourself, wanting to have a space where you can just drop into and feel welcomed is really important.” Ultimately, Ambrose said, the new group is for anyone trans, queer or questioning designed with students and community in mind. “We’re really committed to students feeling comfortable in all of their identities, really focusing on topics which weave in multiple identities and experiences,” Ambrose said.

Empty Tent Circus to host non-competitive poetry share By Jarrae Newell @Jarrae_Newell
Fort Collins is known for its poetry slams, but a new group is bringing poetry shares to the artistic community. Empty Tent Circus, a local Fort Collins artist collective, will host their third poetry share tomorrow evening. So, what is the difference between a slam and a share? G McDonald, Empty Tent Circus poetry share host, said a poetry slam is a competitive event in which poets perform their original work and are assessed by judges and members of the audience. Conversely, poetry shares are non-competitive and promote more of a welcoming environment for anybody, amateur, professional or moderate wishing to share their work. Typically, around 35 people are in attendance at the Blue Door each time the Empty Tent
Circus host a poetry share. They are a relatively new group, having hosted two shares so far.
EMPTY TENT CIRCUS ■ When
March 28 ■ Time 7:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. ■ Where Blue Door Innovative Cocktails at the Blind Pig
There will be eight or more performers at the event. Performances are structured by the poet’s level of experience. It is an open and welcoming event, and there is no overall theme that needs to be included in the poems; however, no hate talk will be allowed, McDonald said.
