Over 6,500 students cast their vote in ASCSU election By Natalia Sperry @Natalia_Sperry
Editor’s Note: Allec Brust and her running mate, Mareena Winchell, were previously employed for the Rocky Mountain Collegian. Brust was the former Collegian opinion editor, and Winchell was a former reporter for the Collegian arts and culture desk. Emotions were high and milk was chugged as the SyronSullivan campaign celebrated the announcement that they
will be the next presidential administration of the Associated Students of Colorado State University. With an election season that saw over 21 percent of the student body vote, Tristan Syron and his running mate Kevin Sullivan received 2,048 votes from students, officially electing them as the next student body president and vice president. The AubreyRoper campaign received 1,747 votes from the student body, while the Brust-Winchell campaign
and the Epperson-Hill campaign earned 1,085 votes and 1,046 votes respectively. The 6,524 votes cast this election season represents an increase of 3.23 percent from last year’s turnout, in which 5,454 votes were cast. Sunburnt and tired from campaigning, Syron, the ASCSU president-elect, said it was his campaign team that really won the election. “I’m nothing, I’m nothing without them,” Syron said. “It’s got
almost nothing to do with us. We just stood there.” Sullivan, the ASCSU vice president-elect, said parking and informative registration are some of the administration’s priorities moving forward, and he joked that bringing back the old Snapchat is on the agenda as well. Sullivan also credits the campaign’s success in part to his collaboration with Syron on passing the water bottle bill in the ASCSU Senate. The bill will fund the installation and retrofitting of
new water bottle refilling stations in older buildings on campus. Parking, increased access to a U+2 waiver and the creation of a bartering app to facilitate affordable student exchanges were some of the main policies central to the Syron-Sullivan platform. Syron and Sullivan plan on making those policies and action the main priority in their executive roles.

Morgan Library hosts panel to discuss net neutrality By Austin Fleskes @Austinfleskes07
The Colorado State University Morgan Library hosted another event in their series of talks promoting public discussion on topics that concern technology and how said technology affects the everyday lives of citizens Wednesday afternoon, which focused on net neutrality. The event, titled “Don’t Let Big Cable pinch the Internet” was an open forum consisting of a panel of speakers -- CSU journalism professor Peter Seel, Vice President for Information Technology and Dean of Libraries Patrick Burns, Code for America Fellow Becky Boone and campaign lead for the Fort Collins Citizens Broadband Committee Colin Garfield -- who discussed the impacts of the recent repeal of net neutrality on the federal level, how broadband initiatives are working in Fort Collins and what people can expect for the future. According to a New York Times article, the Federal Communications Commission’s decision to dismantle the rules which regulated the businesses
that connected consumers to the internet granted “broadband companies the power to potentially reshape Americans’ online experiences.” The panel opened up with a set of slides, created by Garfield, explaining Fort Collins’ current stance on net neutrality and initiatives going forward, more specifically the Fort Collins Broadband Initiative. The slides stated a number of different plans for broadband in Fort Collins. This included the Fort Collins City Council authorizing $142 million dollars in revenue bonds to pay for the City broadband services, that the hiring of four key executive roles are being worked on and broadband marketing is being worked on. According to the Fort Collins website, “the City Broadband Plan does not call for any restrictions on access including uploads, downloads, delivery methods or providers (email, Skype, Netflix, etc.).” The website also provides a link to the entire City Broadband plan. The panel moved on to discuss some of the issues that Burns sees with the repeal of net
neutrality as well as some of the broader issues surrounding the repeal. “The issue is bigger than net neutrality,” Burns said. “We have a communications infrastructure in this country today that is not regulated. And, that is what they did. They deregulated anything that had to do with the internet.” Burns said he feels there are two primary issues with the repeal of net neutrality: the treatment of an individuals traffic and performance of internet and the privacy and treatment of content. The panel then moved to Seel, who discussed the movement in video and what that means for broadband speed, as well as his thoughts on the introduction of City Fiber. Fort Collins Mayor Wade Troxell, who was also in attendance, discussed some of the City’s plans in terms of broadband and broadband access. “My argument all along has been this is for economic future for a community via a connected community,” Troxell said. “It’s really, I think, to provide service to the future that provides symmetric.”
The session ended with a question and answer session, wherein the panelists discussed their views on the importance of individual involvement and understanding of net neutrality. “For me, it’s the civil rights and equality part of it, making sure that voices get out there,” Boone said. “I think it is a different reasoning for each community.” Burns raised the issue of privacy, stating that privacy can be handled poorly in cases like this and should be paid attention to. Seel said for him it is the issue of “equal access for all,” especially those who have to work at home. Finally, Garfield explained that it is the aspect of anticonsumer in favor of procompany factors of the repeal. “There should not be any barrier in the way of accessing that medium,” Garfield said. “Especially since this repeal is driven by a telecom industry who does not care about us.” Garfield said he hopes the audience feels more educated after the event and could feel more confident to discuss this topic with friends and family. “Internet is a birthright, and in not having full, open, neutral

access to an essential service that is a quality of life every day in your life, is just unacceptable to me,” Garfield said. “We all use the internet the same way. It’s the one thing that actually connects all of us, despite our differences.” Austin Fleskes can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Candidatos a fiscal general hablan sobre temas que enfrenten Colorado By Samantha Ye @samxye4
Editor’s Note: This article was translated by students of the Language, Literatures and C Department. Cuatro candidatos a fiscal general del estado participaron en el Foro de Candidatos a Fiscal General a mediados de marzo y contestaron a preguntas sobre diversos temas, incluidos los de las leyes locales sobre la fracturación hidráulica o fracking y las ciudades santuario. El fiscal general del estado es el jefe del Departamento de Derecho (Department of Law), que representa y defiende los intereses legales de sus electores, según lo indicado en el sitio web de la oficina del fiscal general de Colorado. A veces llamado el “Abogado de la Gente”, también sirve como consejero de las asambleas legislativas y agencias estatales. La actual titular del puesto Cynthia Coffman (republicana) no se presentará como candidata para la reelección este año; en vez de eso, se va a presentar para el puesto de gobernadora. Eso deja abierto el puesto para cualquiera de los cinco candidatos actualmente listados, entre los que hay cuatro demócratas y un republicano. El candidato republicano, George Brauchler, no pudo ir al foro. Ciudades santuario A principios del mes de marzo, el fiscal general de los Estados Unidos Jeff Sessions presentó una demanda judicial contra California basada en las leyes de este estado que limitan la cooperación con actividades federales de inmigración en las llamadas “ciudades santuario”. Según el Ministerio de Justicia, la ciudad y el condado de Denver son ejemplos de este tipo de jurisdicción. Les preguntaron a los candidatos de foro cuál era su opinión sobre la demanda y sobre las ciudades y los estados que no cooperan con el Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE, por sus siglas en inglés). Weiser dijo que “con referencia a la marihuana y la inmigración, Jeff Sessions (alguien que podría afirmar que se preocupa por la soberanía de los estados) está demostrando una falta de compromiso con los principios, una falta de compromiso con la décima enmienda, que permite al estado decidir cómo administrar sus recursos”. Weiser señaló que los estados posiblemente no quieran que sus fuerzas de
seguridad se conviertan en una “policía de deportación”, ya que afectaría a la salud de la seguridad pública, lo cual es una política razonable. Dijo que defendería las decisiones de Denver y de otras ciudades que ejercen la soberanía del estado. “Necesitamos estar seguros… de que los derechos de las personas que contribuyen tanto a la economía y al bienestar de nuestro estado son respetados”, declaró Levin. Levin citó su conversación con un beneficiario de DACA que asiste a una Facultad de Derecho y temía por su futuro como una situación inaceptable. Padden, quien explicó que ella dejó su trabajo como fiscal ayudante ejecutiva de los Estados Unidos después de que Sessions fuera nombrado, afirmó que la demanda de Sessions contra California solo confirmó que ella había tomado la decisión correcta. “Necesitamos luchar contra esta situación y yo conozco mejor que nadie cómo combatir al gobierno central porque estuve encargada a defender al gobierno central durante una década”, dijo Padden. “No dudaré por un momento en demandar a Jeff Sessions o Donald Trump si lo que hacen causa daño a los ciudadanos y las personas que vive en nuestro estado”. Salazar dijo que era problemático para él que otros candidatos a fiscal general dijeran que iban a ayudar a las familias inmigrantes cuando en el pasado ellos no habían hecho mucho a este respecto.

Al ocupar su cargo político,

Salazar patrocinó la ley que derogó la SB-90. “Aquí es donde un acto es más que solamente palabras”, dijo Salazar. Prohibición del fracking y aplicación de las leyes estatales En el invierno del 2017, Coffman presentó una demanda contra del condado de Boulder debido a las prórrogas repetidas de una moratoria iniciada en el 2012 que afecta a las solicitudes para el desarrollo del petróleo y el gas en el condado. Previamente, la Corte Suprema de Colorado declaró prohibiciones del fracking similares por parte de las ciudades de Fort Collins y Longmont inválidas porque violaban la Ley de Conservación de Petróleo y Gas de Colorado (Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Act). Cuando se presentó la demanda, el condado de Boulder era el único con estas prohibiciones en vigor, según el comunicado de prensa de la Oficina del Fiscal General de Colorado. Les preguntaron a los candidatos del foro si ellos presentarían también una demanda judicial en esta situación y cómo manejarían
de otra manera los conflictos entre las leyes a nivel del estado y a nivel local. “La manera en la que veo las cosas en cuanto al petróleo y el gas es que tienen ser regulados en el nivel local”, dijo Salazar. Salazar dijo que, como fiscal general, perseguiría a las compañías de petróleo y gas que “contaminan y hacen daño” al público y el medio ambiente, trabajaría con las localidades para regular las actividades de petróleo y gas para que estas continuaran cumpliendo con la ley y promovería políticas mejores de petróleo y gas con los legisladores. “Estoy con ellos (los condados), trabajando para proteger a la gente del desarrollo poco seguro de petróleo y gas”, dijo Weiser. Weiser llamó al pleito de Coffman un juego político dirigido por la ideología que la gente no necesita. Afirmó que el pleito de Coffman destrozó la relación entre la Oficina del Fiscal General del estado y todas las juntas administrativas de condado a lo largo del estado, y que él no haría lo mismo. Levin dijo que, como fiscal general, convocaría a expertos
de ambos lados del asunto y buscaría una solución para permitir que el petróleo y el gas progresaran, y al mismo tiempo se aseguraría de que los residentes locales no tuvieran que preocuparse por los accidentes de perforación o la contaminación. “El control local es crítico”, dijo Levin. “Pero, al mismo tiempo, lo que no queremos es que todas estas localidades estén promulgando sus propias leyes y que sean demandadas por las industrias del petróleo y el gas”. Padden dijo que ella no cree que el demandar al condado de Boulder fuera un uso apropiado de la autoridad del fiscal y el dinero del contribuyente. Respecto a la manera en la que ella se encargaría de tales casos, Padden dijo que haría lo que siempre ha hecho como fiscal. “En esas decisiones se necesita considerar los hechos, todas las pruebas, lo que uno piensa que puede aportar, lo que uno puede probar y lo que es beneficioso para la gente, que es por lo que he representado a las personas de nuestro estado durante los últimos 13 años”, dijo Padden.

Facebook says user data of 87 million was shared By David Pierson Los Angeles Times
As many as 87 million Facebook users had personal information improperly shared with political consulting company Cambridge Analytica, significantly more than what had previously been reported, the company said Wednesday. The affected accounts were mostly in the U.S., Facebook said in a blog post, which also outlined new restrictions on access to user data. Previously, it had been thought that 50 million users were ensnared in the data misappropriation scandal, which has presented Facebook with the biggest crisis in its 14year history. The data were improperly passed to Cambridge Analytica through a psychology professor who developed a quiz app for Facebook. The professor was able to collect data from the nearly 300,000 people who downloaded his app, as well as their friends. He then broke Facebook rules by sharing that information with Cambridge Analytica, which worked on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and reportedly used the data to identify swing voters. Facebook was lambasted for not doing more to prevent the data leak or alerting the
affected users immediately after it was discovered. But reports in The New York Times and the British newspaper the Observer last month raised pressure on Facebook to apologize and re-evaluate its data-sharing and collection practices. During a rare conference call with reporters Wednesday, Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg again pledged to better safeguard user information while also acknowledging he had failed to anticipate the ways the social network could be exploited. “We’re an optimistic and idealistic company,” Zuckerberg said, citing the way Facebook has connected friends, given small businesses a larger presence and catapulted social movements. “But it’s clear now we didn’t do enough,” Zuckerberg said. “We didn’t focus enough on preventing abuse and thinking through how people can use these tools to do harm as well.... We didn’t take a broad enough view of what our responsibility is, and that was a huge mistake. It was my mistake.” To that end, the company announced Wednesday it was taking a number of steps that could change the way outside companies can leverage data from Facebook’s 2 billion

users. Those changes include limiting access to data pertaining to: Personal data: Facebook says it will no longer allow apps to ask for access to users’ religious or political views, relationship status, education and work history and activity working out, reading books, listening to music, reading news, watching videos or playing games. Events: Only specially approved apps will have access to a user’s guest list to events. Groups: Apps will need
approval to gain access to a group’s member list. Names and profile photos attached to group posts will no longer be accessible to apps. “We have to ensure all those developers protect people’s information too,” Zuckerberg said. Facebook shares fell $1.01, or 0.7 percent, to $155.10 on Wednesday. The stock is down nearly 20 percent since a high Feb. 1. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Syron said the student needs for action and the campaign platform drove both the high turnout and the election results. “We are so incredibly grateful for every vote ... 21 percent is absolutely amazing, and it has nothing to do with us,” Syron said. “It is the students who realize that their expectations have been disregarded, and they saw a candidacy that said, ‘Hey, I see that every day and I’m trying to fix it.’” Hailey Morton, the campaign manager for Syron-Sullivan, said she thinks Syron and Sullivan are both relatable and willing to put in the work for students. “I think that one of the best things about this campaign was it

Morton also credited the high turnout to the success of the other campaigns. “I think all the campaigns did a really good job,” Morton said. “It was really diverse and I think that it’s really telling how much of the student body came out to vote this year how well the other campaigns did.” Presidential candidate Liam Aubrey said he was impressed by the hard work Syron and Sullivan have put forth. “I have the utmost respect for Tristan and Kevin.

Run as One aims to spread awareness for veterans By Audrey Weiss @Audkward
According to the Research and Development Center for Military Health, approximately 300,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or severe depression. Team Rubicon works toward giving veterans resources and opportunities to cope and support them during their transition period, with events such as the annual Run as One race that began in 2012. Run as One will be hosting their seventh annual Run As One event April 7 to raise awareness for the struggles veterans experience after returning from service. The event will begin at 10:15 a.m. and the race will commence at 11 a.m. Run as One events will take place in 172 cities across the nation. This will be the second year the event has been hosted in Fort Collins. This event was established in honor of Clay Hunt, a Marine veteran that took his life due to his constant struggle with PTSD, according to the Run as One website. In a statement to The Collegian, Nicholas Dunagan, a Colorado State University sophomore studying sports medicine and the communications coordinator for Run as One in Colorado, said that the event was established to forge a stronger community—both with veterans and civilians.
Dunagan wrote that the event is a non-competitive 5k race that will invite all age groups and ability levels to participate. “Come crawl, walk or run,” Dunagan said. “This is for everybody.” The event is intended to raise awareness to the transition period veterans face upon completing their service. Dunagan said that there will be information about different resources available to veterans at the event. “This event is really meant to bring awareness to the community,” Dunagan said. “There will be other veteran organizations … helping and attending.” Dunagan said he expects to see between 60 and 150 participants at this years run. He said that registration is free and with a cash donation of $20 comes a free t-shirt. “I want to see the community come together with a purpose,” Dunagan said. According to Dunagan his main hope is that attendees leave having a better understanding of the community. “So run. Run fast. Run slow. Run as a team.” Dunagan said. “Appreciate and live the greater meaning of today. We know shared purpose and hard work towards a common goal builds the strongest communities, so run together, run as one.” Audrey Weiss can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Manafort judge skeptical of suit disputing Mueller’s authority By David Voreacos & Erik Larson Bloomberg News
NEWARK, N.J. – A federal judge was skeptical that Paul Manafort could use a civil lawsuit to attack Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s authority to charge Manafort with crimes unrelated to his role as the president’s former campaign chairman. The judge’s comments came Wednesday at the first hearing of a civil case that Manafort filed in January to claim Mueller overstepped in charging him with money laundering and failing to report his lobbying activity for former President Viktor Yanukovych of Ukraine. Manafort’s suit initially sought to set aside Mueller’s appointment as special counsel and nullify actions related to Manafort. But at Wednesday’s hearing, Manafort attorney Kevin Downing scaled back his request, saying he wanted the judge to strike down a provision in the order to appoint Mueller in May 2017. Downing said he didn’t contest that Mueller could investigate possible links between Russia and the Trump campaign in the 2016 campaign, but he said Mueller shouldn’t be able to also examine “any matters that arose or may arise directly” from his probe. He also asked the judge to bar Mueller’s potential future actions in Manafort’s criminal cases. Downing said such a provision was vague and subject to abuse, and that Mueller would never have been able to indict Manafort had he stuck only to Russian meddling
in the campaign. But U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who is overseeing the civil case and Manafort’s indictment, said Manafort couldn’t cite legal authority to allow him to use the Administrative Procedure Act to attack Mueller’s actions. “Do you have a single legal case that suggests that being subject to criminal investigation is actionable under the APA?” Jackson asked Downing. Downing said that he couldn’t cite any cases and that his was the first challenge of its type. The judge said Manafort was basing his claim on a law that explicitly says it can’t be used to create a private cause of action. “What am I supposed to do about that? Ignore it?” the judge asked. “Yes, of course,” Downing said. Downing has made similar attacks on Mueller’s authority, challenging Manafort’s indictment in Washington and a later one in Alexandria, Virginia. A Justice Department attorney, Daniel Schwei, argued that Manafort can’t use a civil lawsuit to attack Mueller’s authority. He said Manafort should address his indictments in his criminal cases. “The notion that a civil court should be entering orders and enforcing them over law enforcement is a tremendous incursion on the separation of powers,” Schwei said. Jackson, who didn’t rule on Wednesday, said the Washington indictment was the “elephant in the room.” On April 3, Mueller’s lawyers
defended his authority to investigate Manafort by releasing a secret government memorandum granting him authority to examine crimesrelatedtoManafort’spolitical consulting work for Yanukovych. The memo, dated Aug. 2, 2017, and signed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, supplements the earlier appointment order. In the memo, Mueller argued that Rosenstein “left no doubt” that the conduct that caused the indictment is in the special counsel’s jurisdiction. The indictments charge Manafort with earning tens of millions of dollars in Ukraine, laundering that money, failing to register as a foreign agent and cheating on his taxes. Mueller cited business ties between Manafort and the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. The filing said that any investigation of links between Russia and the Trump campaign “would naturally cover ties that a former Trump campaign manager had to Russian-associated political operatives, Russian-backed politicians, and Russian oligarchs.” “It would also naturally look into any interactions they may have had before and during the campaign to plumb motives and opportunities to coordinate and to expose possible channels for surreptitious communications,” prosecutors wrote. “And prosecutors would naturally follow the money trail from Manafort’s Ukrainian consulting activities. Because investigation of those matters was authorized, so was prosecution.” Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Judge threatens to bar Orange County from enforcing anti-camping laws By Hannah Fry Los Angeles Times
SANTA ANA, Calif. – The political crisis over homelessness in Orange County approached a crucial moment Tuesday as a federal judge raised the prospect of barring local governments from enforcing anti-camping ordinances if officials cannot create temporary shelters for hundreds being swept out of tent cities. The county for weeks has been struggling to find locations to place the homeless after removing them from an encampment along the Santa Ana River. A plan to place temporary shelters in Irvine, Laguna Niguel and Huntington Beach died amid loud protests from residents last week, and the problem is expected to get worse as officials move to clear out another tent city at the Santa Ana Civic Center. U.S. District Judge David O. Carter expressed frustration at the political stalemate during a hearing Tuesday. He said he could not decide where the shelters should go, but said he could prohibit cities from enforcing laws that ban people from camping in public spaces such as parks and river ways. Carter said that without those laws, Orange County communities could become magnets for homeless people. In essence, the judge said Orange County can’t have it both ways. “We can’t criminalize homeless by citing them in one location, and citing them in another location simply for being homeless,” Carter said. Carter is overseeing a case brought by homeless advocates trying to stop the removal of the homeless encampments. He stressed that the shelters don’t have to be fancy, only that they be able to serve those who have nowhere else to live. “This doesn’t have to be a nice thing,” Carter said. “It just has to be humane and dignified. That will probably get us through this crisis.” The county’s two armories,
which provide temporary shelter for up to 400 homeless individuals during the winter, are scheduled to close this month, adding a new layer of urgency as space is limited in other shelters throughout the county. Fullerton officials requested to keep the armory in their city open, but it’s not clear if that will happen. Orange County Board of Supervisors Chairman Andrew Do said he is pessimistic about the county and city officials finding a solution unless Carter steps in. “At this point, I see us, the county, and the cities being at a standstill,” Do said. “With each passing day we betray our responsibility to care for all of our residents as required by law.” Residents in Irvine and other cities have said they don’t want homeless shelters in their communities, which is the same argument made by neighborhoods along the Santa Ana River that prompted officials to clear out the camps in the first place. But Carter said the situation has forced certain cities to take on a disproportionate burden. He signaled out Santa Ana, home to the county’s only major emergency shelter “Santa Ana is being forced to absorb all of the homeless because they’re brought to this area for assessments and services,” Carter said. “It’s disproportionate.” Data presented by Santa Ana during the hearing back up that claim. Santa Ana’s homeless population has more than doubled in the last year, from 466 unsheltered in 2017 to 1,030 people, according to the results of a Saturday point-intime count. The data show that 52 percent of the population came to Santa Ana from other cities, according to city staff. The next hurdle facing leaders in Santa Ana is finding a place to house the more than 200 people camping in the Civic Center’s Plaza of the

Flags near the county superior courthouse. County officials have been working to connect people with services in the area. Although law enforcement began clearing the encampment Monday, there’s no set deadline for everyone to be gone. Santa Ana Mayor Pro Tem Michele Martinez said it’s time for every city to do its fair share to get individuals off the street. “The nation is watching,” she said. “We need fairness for all.” Carter proposed that leaders take a regional approach in which the county is broken up into three zones– north, central and south– each with an equal distribution of shelters and homeless services. The idea is that each zone would be able to care for its
own homeless population, lessening the burden on other regions. He pressed officials from cities in the south and west parts of the county to work with neighboring cities to come up with suitable locations for temporary shelters in their zones. Do said the county would pledge $90 million for permanent supportive housing. The Board of Supervisors last week moved away from its plan to have county staff study moving hundreds of homeless people to the temporary shelters in Huntington Beach, Laguna Niguel and Irvine after receiving significant pushback and threats of lawsuits from those communities. Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Shawn Nelson has suggested that the 114acre, state-owned Fairview Developmental Center in
Costa Mesa be used as an emergency homeless shelter. However, the Costa Mesa City Council last week voiced unanimous disapproval of the idea, supporting residents who said they were concerned that developing a shelter there would jeopardize public safety, reduce property values and unduly burden the city. Mayors from south Orange County cities, including Irvine and Laguna Niguel, said they plan to discuss possible sites for a temporary shelter at a meeting on April 19. Some, including Irvine Mayor Donald Wagner, said they already have locations in mind, though they didn’t provide specifics. “We have stepped up and we remain committed to stepping up,” Wagner said.

Tweets must be accompanied by action Ethan Vassar @ethanvassar
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. Thanks to the popularity and proliferation of social media, it’s now easier than ever to spew one’s opinion to the world. Whether it’s tweeted, live-streamed, snapped or posted, any opinion on the internet is there to stay forever and has potential to be retweeted, screenshot and shared across the entire world. We squander the wealth of information at our disposal, diluting the conversation with our own misinformed, hasty and uninspired opinions. Students need to recognize that tweeting is not enough. Sharing Facebook posts is not enough. A college campus is a perfect place to get involved and make a real difference, and that difference won’t happen by putting a translucent flag over your profile photo. Reading a Twitter news moment does not make you an expert on the topic. Changing your Twitter handle to “Never Again” doesn’t make you a saint righteously campaigning for gun control and advocating for victims. This type of social media “solidarity” is a lazy attempt at caring. Tweeting about something is literally the least you can do in any given situation. Tweeting about the hostility and intolerance brought on by the Charlie Kirk speaking engagement is one thing. Creating an organization in response to combat the issue and tabling on the plaza is another. Columnist Susan Douglas calls this the turn within, “when technological capabilities and geopolitical exigencies should have interacted to expand America’s global vision, just the opposite occurred.” I could make the case that no opinions matter. After all, we’re living on a rock that hurling through space, part one galaxy out of billions with no conceivable meaning to be found. Despite this depressing fact, opinions do matter. Without opinions, the world would be very dull. Gazing at the world until it becomes dull to our perceptions, it often takes a different opinion to see the beauty in it again. It takes all kinds of people to make the world, and it takes all kinds of opinions too. Oh,
and you are reading the opinion section of a newspaper so it’s safe to assume that opinions still do matter. Thanks to the ease, it takes so little time to formulate an opinion on something. Opinions are becoming meaningless not because of our position in the solar system, but because of how oversaturated they have become. The more there is of something, the less valuable it becomes and the less weight it holds. We are turning opinions into a commodity. Taking a minute out of your day to share your opinions on a situation and offer thoughts and prayers to the victims offers very little insight and isn’t helping anyone. It’s just adding to the cesspool of dense discernment. This is such a problem that Twitter is inviting outside experts to improve the “health” of the conversations on the website. CEO of Twitter Jack Dorsey says, “We aren’t proud of how people have taken advantage of our service,” and has announced plans to build a system “to help encourage more healthy debate, conversations, and critical thinking.” Thanks to the “bots, trolls, misinformation and harassment” that have plagued Twitter for the past few years, it’s safe to say that opinions on their own can’t change the world anymore. Novelist Paulo Coelho writes that “The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion.” In a world where opinions are becoming increasingly, blasé, this couldn’t be truer. Emma Gonzales, David Hogg, Jonathan Blank and other survivors of the Parkland shooting are hardly in the news because of their tweets. They’re in the news because they have organized protests, spoken in public about the issue of gun control and debated with lawmakers. All of this advocating for change. Humans are visual creatures. What causes us to change our minds about any given situation or issue is to see how others respond to it and react accordingly. Sure, we may have the opinion that bullying is wrong, but will do nothing when seeing it happen simply because no one else does. The saying “You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?” comes to mind. Perhaps a more modern, and cringe-inducing, interpretation would be; “you can tweet the tweet, but can you walk the walk.” Time will tell. If you care about something, do more than tweet about it.

Students should keep an open mind about faith 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. When I talk to college students about their beliefs, I’m often told stories where the students were once part of a church or youth group and things just sort of went south. Things like lack of acceptance into a community, interpersonal drama within the group or disagreements over certain issues have driven students I know away from not just that church, but religion entirely. Whether it be over a disagreement on social opinions like gay marriage,
abortion or generally a disillusionment with a body practicing religion as a congregation, it seems a lot of young adults have serious trust issues when it comes to religion. I can understand where they are coming from, as I am a person who prefers to stay away from church as well. I find the experience of being in a room with others, having someone else recite prayer for me to be somewhat of a middleman in the God + me equation. For me, it dilutes the faith experience. But this idea certainly does not inhibit my ability to practice faith, nor should it for anyone. There is a huge difference between religion and faith, and too often people use bad experiences with religion to turn them off faith entirely when the concepts are quite different. Religion is more a codification of subjective interpretations of the
scripture. A set of rules by which to play. Each denomination of Christianity is an example of this. For instance, large portions of the Baptist church denounce homosexuality, whereas churches like the Metropolitan Community Church were founded almost explicitly for the advancements of social rights. As a matter of fact, MCC was the first to perform samesex marriages, something that some other denominations still will not do. There are many ways to achieve a relationship with whichever God you pray to. This is where faith comes in. Where religion is a “rule set” that enjoys significant diversity, faith is the uncompromisingly personal and close bond that an individual forms with whichever divine entity they believe in. Some people derive deep spiritual satisfaction in following the rules outlined by
the doctrines of their churches; others may find that same connection in meditation on a mountaintop, far away from anything of the sort. As John Muir said, “I’d rather be in the mountains thinking about God than in church thinking about the mountains.” This perspective on faith is totally legitimate. Some still find the idea of a church interpreting their systems of belief to be offputting, and for this reason choose to disavow belief altogether. This is an error, especially for students. We are in a transitory time in our lives. Students should not paint religion and faith with the same brush, nor should they let the actions of one group shape their outlook on the concept of religion as a whole. People are very different, and this absolutely applies to their religious beliefs as well. Just because someone may disagree with Catholics and

Remember to appreciate grad students this week Mikaela Rodenbaugh @Mikarodenbaugh
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. This week is Graduate Student Appreciation Week. To honor the occasion, this column is in support of grad students everywhere, but especially at Colorado State University, who are often the unsung heroes of the university system. Every day, grad students teach, grade, assist students and professors, and advance research in their fields. They do this despite the fact that it can mean putting in brutal hours, for little pay, and little thanks. Grading and Teaching Many of the graduate students on campus are also teaching assistants. Graduate teaching assistants grade the work of undergraduates, and
often teach classes. I am one of these students, as I teach recitation sections of JTC 300-Professional and Technical Writing and grade the work of these students. That’s an additional time commitment to ensure that grades arrive to students in a timely fashion, student needs are responded to either via email or by meeting face to face, and that I get face time with students, plan lessons, lectures and activities for students, and teach on Fridays. Advancing University Research One of the primary responsibilities for graduate students is adding to a body of research that helps advance university findings and give greater context to the world around us. This is especially important to students earning science degrees. Dedication and Devotion to their Studies On the whole, graduate students go in for an advanced degree because they have a lot of intellectual curiosity about their subject and have excellent work ethic. Graduate students balance coursework that is often
unparalleled in effort to that of undergraduate courses, while often holding down second jobs and teaching for the university. You can bet that often times, graduate level students are the first to arrive on campus and the last to leave for the day. Despite the various reasons that graduate students are essential to campus, they are often left out of the conversation on campus around student issues, underrepresented by ASCSU and often don’t come to mind when thinking about the overall campus environment. That needs some reconsideration, considering how essential grad students are to the overall ecosystem of CSU. So remember to thank your graduate teaching assistant, ask a graduate researcher about their work, and include them in conversations about campus. You never know what they may be able to teach you, contribute to a conversation, or what input they might add on the overall university environment.

their worship procedure does not render the entire religion of Christianity obsolete. So too with any religion. Faith is nurtured by the individual, ultimately. A person’s relationship with the divine is as personal and unique to them as is possible to be. The idea that any institution could simply revoke a belief in God is erroneous by nature. If one formula doesn’t work, try another. College is the perfect time to find the best fit for your faith life. There are many, many churches, temples, mosques and synagogues out there constantly looking for new members with whom to share their experiences. Faith is an enriching thing. Students should not let one bad experience with religion ruin their faith. Ryan Tougaw can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

A tale of contrasting Cats and divergent NCAA tournament fortunes By Jon Wilner Mercury News
The following commentary appeared in the Hotline newsletter on Monday (sign-up here) and has been re-published (and updated) here for readers who missed the original. One nickname, two different approaches to roster compilation, two contrasting styles of play, and two divergent NCAA tournament fates: Watching Villanova blast through March Madness yet again, I couldn’t help but compare the Wildcats to those from Arizona. Until a few years, let’s not forget, the programs had identical NCAA accomplishments: One national title, one runner-up finish and four appearances in the Final Four. Since then, their tournament performances have taken opposite paths. Villanova just won its second championship in three years; Arizona has been bounced from the NCAAs by doubledigit seeds in three consecutive tournaments. (Two of those losses to double-digit seeds were by double-digit points, by the way.) But based on the level of raw talent acquired and forwarded on (to the NBA) by the programs, you might expect the March results to be reversed: • Arizona’s past five
recruiting classes (2013-17) have an average ranking of No. 6 nationally (per 247sports). • Villanova’s past five recruiting classes have an average ranking of No. 37. • Arizona has signed 19 recruits of the 4- or 5-star classification (again per 247). • Villanova has signed nine. • In that same window, Arizona has produced six firstround draft picks (including Deandre Ayton). • Villanova has produced two (including Mikal Bridges). So what accounts for the disparity in the NCAAs? Villanova’s success is, above all, a reflection of coach Jay Wright’s system -- not just the offense but the entire system of recruiting, development and oncourt structure. Unlike Arizona’s Sean Miller, Wright doesn’t stock his roster with has many one-and-done, Lottery Pick-level talents as it can hold. Instead, Wright recruits very good players -- even a few elites, like Jalen Brunson -- who fit ideally into his system and are likely to remain in school for several years. The lack of dizzying roster turnover creates cohesion within the system. (That turnover helps account for the disparity in the number of recruits Villanova and Arizona sign each year.) And let’s not discount the

significance of the system itself, a free-flowing perimeter approach that creates mismatches and open shots and defines the postmodern game. The NCAA tournament, contrary to popular opinion, is not about defense. Yes, you must be reasonably stout to survive the opening weekend (Arizona was not reasonably stout this season). But reaching the Final Four, and playing on the final Monday, is about fluid, efficient offense ...

about being versatile and difficult to defend ... about ball movement and spacing. It’s not about grinding -- good luck grinding your way to six wins. Too often over the years, Arizona has been easy to stop. Too often, it has gone long stretches without scoring, without running the offense through its best players. The result is a program that consistently signs top-10 classes consistently gets eliminated by double-digit seeds.
In the NCAAs, every defense is well prepared and locked in for 40 minutes. The difference is offense. Wright has it figured out: Very good players ideally suited for the system, combined with chemistry forged over several seasons and supported by a mismatch-causing style, can be a powerful force in March. It’s an approach those other Wildcats should consider. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

CSU’s losing ways in rivalry games will end this year Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann
Four rivalries have existed for Colorado State football in the Mike Bobo era: Air Force, Boise State, Colorado and Wyoming. The Rams are just 2-10 in those games the past three seasons. This year, they will go 3-1. A knock from many fans on the trio of 7-6 records accrued under the tutelage of Bobo has been his lack of success in the “big” games. Along with the 2-10 record in the Rams’ bigger games each year, they have also failed to win a single bowl game. While this season does not appear to change the curse in bowl games, the Rams are set up to win at least three of their four rivalry games, with the lone loss coming in the Rocky Mountain Showdown. Despite the loss of offensive leader Phillip Lindsay, the Buffs will once again reign supreme in Denver as their recruiting within the Pac-12 will continue to excel over the squad from Fort Collins, dropping them to 0-4 under Bobo. The other three games on the docket for the Rams that many consider their big games, will result in a perfect record this year. As many pundits involved with the university as well as casual fans know, the Cowboys will be sending their best player to the 2018 NFL Draft, with a top-10 pick well within the realm of possibilities for gunslinger Josh Allen. That loss will result in a down year for the team across the border, despite the players they have returning. The Rams will take advantage of the letdown, securing their first Bronze Boot since their first year under Bobo. A week before their Border War showdown at the home, the Rams will travel to Boise, Idaho, the home of the Broncos. Dubbed the “Smurf Turf,” the Rams will finally extinguish their demons on the blue surface of Albertsons Stadium, winning their first matchup against the Mountain West-dominating Broncos in the Bobo era. Having already faced SEC powerhouse Florida, as well as Arkansas and in-state rival Colorado, the Rams will be up to the task of defeating the Broncos and their veteran signal-caller, Brett Rypien. In a year where the Rams struggled mightily to halt
opposing offenses, they still managed to hold Rypien to 23of-43 on passing attempts, a mark that paled in comparison to his career 63 percent clip. This year, they will utilize a game plan that will limit the big plays, along with their previous plan that had Rypien off-balance in the completionpercentage column to keep the Broncos offense at bay. The win will be considered an upset given the gravity the Broncos carry coming into the matchup, as well as returning the two thorns in the Rams’ side last year in Rypien and tail back Alexander Mattison, but the Rams will take lessons from last year’s loss, combined with an improved defense under new coordinator John Jancek and spoil the Broncos mid-October mood. In their final game of the four-game rivalry schedule, as well as their regular season, the Rams will head down I-25 to Colorado Springs to take on the Air Force Falcons. A year after hosting the Falcons on campus, resulting in a late-game collapse after heading to halftime with the lead, the Rams will handle the Falcons’ triple-option threat with greater success, forcing the opposition to take their talents to the passing game. The switch to a 4-3 defense under Jancek will play a pivotal role against the Falcons as an increased focus along the line will limit the effectiveness of the fullback dive that played such a pivotal role in last season’s matchup. The ineffectiveness of the dive will result in the option ranging outside, a task that veteran linebacker Josh Watson will be up to, as well as the Rams’ other defensive backfield mates. The defense and offense will be performing near their ceiling as the year’s 12 games will have dwindled to one lone remaining game, resulting in the Rams capturing yet another highlight victory in a year that will most likely feature a trio of losses in a row to Power Five competition at the beginning of the year. This season will carry with it a new sense of urgency given the underwhelming results of last season and three consecutive middling seasons for coach Bobo. The invigorated motivation for the Rams will carry them to multiple wins over their rivals in what will be another .500 year, but this time, with highlights to show for it.

Intensity, energy pick up ahead of first spring scrimmage By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_
More than three weeks into spring football, Colorado State is ready to boost the intensity. The Rams completed their seventh practice Wednesday evening and will have one more on Friday before the first scrimmage of the season Sunday afternoon. Practice and training only reveal so much. Ladder drills can demonstrate the quick footwork of a player, but that doesn’t always give them an advantage over an opponent. Implementing those skills in a real scenario, however, shows the development that players have made from the end of last season. Now just days in front of that first real action, head coach Mike Bobo is pleased with the energy displayed by his team. “I thought the energy was really good at practice,” Bobo said. “I thought guys were motivated and gave good effort. It wasn’t just making a lot of noise, it was a lot of good effort in practice … We talked about straining and letting it go, and I thought the guys did that.” For tight ends coach Joe
Cox, scrimmages offer players the opportunity to make mistakes and learn from them. While their development in practices may be encouraging, this gives him and the rest of the coaching staff a look at how players react in game situations. “When you’re on the sideline and you’re looking out there, you can see who’s completely lost,” Cox said. “If they’re lost, I at least want to see them compete and finish. When you get to scrimmages, you’re gonna see mistakes. But you don’t want to see the guy who’s so lost that when he does mess up, he just stops in the middle of a play.” Coaches aren’t the only ones who benefit from scrimmages. After weeks of half-contact practices and an offseason full of weights, players can finally harness their physicality come Sunday afternoon. The urgency and excitement showed on Wednesday in the opening periods of practice featured an added sense of energy. “I made it my own point – I feel like I’ve been a little bit apathetic to this whole process – to at least bring more energy and emotion myself, try to get the

guys going,” senior running back Izzy Matthews said. “Energywise, we’re almost there… Everyone out here has an affinity for the game, so it’s definitely going to be exciting to see.” The next step Bobo wants to see from the team focuses less on effort and more on play-calling.
After implementing new offensive and defensive coaches in the early portion of the spring, Bobo expects the players to further their on-field knowledge and familiarity. “I’m hearing too many coaches every single play have to make the calls for them, or remind them what they got,”
Bobo said. “We’ve got to start communicating as a group, offensively and defensively… Sometimes you’ve got to let your players fix it on their own.” Colin Barnard can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Stadium game, new captains highlight busy offseason for CSU By Christian Hedrick @ChristianHCSU
Between games, practices and several big announcements, one would hardly know that it’s the offseason for the Colorado State women’s soccer team. “In some ways the spring is not unlike the fall where you’ve got training, training, training and then you get to play games,” CSU head coach Bill Hempen said. “We’re kind of at that stage at the end of the spring with games coming up here.” Although spring games hardly matter as much as regular season games in the fall, these exhibition contests provide the roster with valuable in-game experience. “You just don’t use as many players as in the fall,” Hempen said. “It just kind of builds to a core of about 15-16 kids that play a good bit. We look at the spring as an opportunity for those that did not get as much of an opportunity to compete in the fall to get that game experience in the springtime.” Even though rosters are not at full strength and the results are trivial, spring soccer can make for some pretty memorable experiences. On Tuesday, the Rams became the first athletics team aside from football to use the
new on-campus football stadium. The exhibition match versus Northern Colorado also marked the first time the Rams had ever played a night game on campus. “It was really neat,” Hempen said. “We had the scoreboard on, the ribbon was on, the lights were on and music was playing in there. It was a neat environment for our kids.” The facilities at the new oncampus stadium are certainly an upgrade for the CSU soccer team, but don’t expect the football stadium to become the Rams’ new home. “If we can do it once a year, probably in the spring, that would be great,” Hempen said. “It’s a novelty, kind of. It was pretty cool, but everything you try and build up atmosphere wise kind of goes away when you look up and see 30,000 empty seats.” It’s no $200 million stadium, but Ram fans can look forward to watching games at an improved CSU Soccer Field this fall. In late January, the Rams announced a fundraiser to help enhance the field with a starting goal of $3,000. Now just over two months later, the soccer team has raised nearly $12,000. “Will that help us buy bleachers? Probably not, but
there’s other things we can do to show improvement,” Hempen said. “We want to look out there and say, ‘Oh, wow that’s the soccer facility.’ Like softball has ‘Colorado State Softball,’ on the fence. Something as simple as that to say, ‘This is ours.’ Those things are doable with the money that we raised.” Along with new amenities, the Rams will be playing with two newly elected captains this fall. With the upcoming graduation of former captains Taylor Hodgson and Janelle Stone, the team recently voted junior Kaija Ornes and sophomore Halley Havlicek into the leadership positions. Although each are now leaders on the field, their CSU careers have been anything but similar. “Those are two completely different kids in that Halley’s been pretty consistent and healthy throughout her short career,” Hempen said. “And Kaija’s battled through every practice, every game and dealt with so much from a physical standpoint. The emotional ups and downs have probably grounded her more than any other kid on our team and I think that’s a good spot to be as a captain.” One area the new captains will not have to worry about is

transitioning into a new home. With the CSU Soccer Field’s inaugural season in the books, the Rams are looking forward to concentrating all their attention on the game itself. “We get our new facility and we kind of talked a lot about finally having our own place to play and maybe our minds were distracted,” Hempen said. “I’m excited that we can completely and utterly give
ourselves to the game and not worry if the grass is going to grow in time for the preseason and all that other stuff that goes with it.” The Rams resume their spring schedule versus Metro State on Sunday at 1 p.m. at the CSU Soccer Field. Christian Hedrick can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

MOVIES & TV
‘Ready Player One’ manages to be fun By Ty Davis @tydavisACW
Having read the book, I was completely expecting to hate this movie. But all things considered, the movie for “Ready Player One” is actually rather enjoyable. The character is less insufferable, and avoids feeling like a two-hour gamer ego masturbation session. “Ready Player One” is not a bad book by any means. In fact, if you take it solely on its literary execution, the book is a decent read. No piece media lives in a vacuum though. “Ready Player One” came out during the height of “nerd love” from the late`00s to the early`10s in which nerdy habits and nerdy things were suddenly thrust into the spotlight and became the center of attention for a lot of younger generations.
‘READY PLAYER ONE’
■ “Ready Player One” is based
off of the 2011 book of the same name written by Ernest Cline.
But, as recent times have shown us, that love met a swift end when more and more people started to notice the more toxic and problematic parts of nerd culture; gaming and comic culture earning a particular spotlight for reasons too numerous to list here. It is worth noting that the book is emblematic of the time it came out. Overt obsession of pop culture is treated as a virtue; characters openly condescend people who know less than them. The Oasis—essentially the internet—is depicted as a libertarian utopia devoid of social ills, and the main character has an entire section of the book where he discusses the superiority of atheism to all other religions. The film is one of the most gorgeous I have seen all year. The colors are vibrant, the set
pieces are wildly imaginative and the film goes to great lengths to make much of the background characters—who are not based on characters from other properties—look just as iconic. One criticism you cannot say about “Ready Player One” is that it does not know how to design a world. When most of your movie is CG anyway, might as well make it stunning. The characters are probably the most appealing part of “Ready Player One.” As I mentioned earlier, the main character Wade—played Tye Sheridan, a.k.a “what do you mean that isn’t Miles Teller”—is a lot less insufferable in the movie than he is in the book. In this version he is a lot more earnest and sincere, however these traits are only skin deep and lack overall depth. Olivia Cooke nails the Artemis/ Samantha role beat for beat. But the real star of the film is Lena Waithe as Helen/H. Anytime her character is on the screen, the film is instantly filled with life. Her character is the most fun out of the five of the main cast and honestly has the most interesting story too. Should you watch it? Yes. There really is not much to say about the film itself. There is nothing outstanding, revolutionary or necessarily wrong with the film. It is an average film that shows up, does its thing and there is not too much to really complain about. But the one thing I couldn’t stop thinking about as I left the theater was how much fun I had watching “Ready Player One.” Despite all my doubts and cynicisms, I came away really enjoying the ride, partially due to the heavy reworking of the story. Go see “Ready Player One” if you get the chance, if for no other reason than you want to see how many references you can spot. Ty Davis can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

High expectations: 5 ways to prepare for 4/20 early By Nick Botkin @dudesosad
Contrary to popular stereotype, getting high requires a lot of preparation. The holy grail of stoner holidays, 4/20, is no exception. There are numerous factors to take into account, which may seem frightening. Fear not. Here are some recommendations to make the planning a bit easier. Make social arrangements Some of you may want to celebrate alone. In that case, problem solved. But for many, 4/20 is a social experience. You might call up the friends a couple weeks out. Plan the perfect celebration and talk ideas. Also, think about transportation arrangements. You do not want to be driving stoned. You might think the weed will make you a better driver, but do not try it. Having the number for a cab or a non-stoned friend is a must. Shop for pot Do not wait until 4/20 itself to do this. You know the dispensaries will be replete with long lines and overeager customers. Prepare in advance, perhaps a few days ahead
of time. Think about what sort of high you want to experience. Do you want the mindful reverie of an indica? The energetic rush that sativas offer? Joints or edibles? If cost is an issue, also look into specials. You know that there will be no shortage of them. Ask around early. You can be thrifty, without turning to an illegal neighborhood dealer named Bubba. Choose movies and music It would not be 4/20 without movies and a well-equipped soundtrack. You know you have to listen to Afroman’s “Because I Got High.” Why? Because you got high. Decide what type of vibe you want in terms of viewing fare. Stoner films range from the comic absurdity of “The Big Lebowski” to the joyful mindlessness and friendship of “Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle.” You could even watch something not associated with the stoner experience, although getting high on “Gandhi” or a World War II movie might be a little frightening. Then again, if watching “Gandhi” high fills you with a certain peace, go for it. Buy food
Make sure you take time to prepare on 4/20 for the best experience. PHOTO BY DAVIS BONNER COLLEGIAN
You do not want things to turn into a late-night psychedelic adventure. So stock up on food beforehand. Do it a week in advance, even. If you have friends coming, be amply prepared. Grab every bag of Cheetos you can. Or at least have the number for pizza delivery. On 4/20 itself, keep the
goodies within close proximity. If you are high, a trip to the cupboard might be the most frightening thing ever. Take care of business before 4/20 I know, this is not a fun recommendation. But you need to attend to obligations, so that you can enjoy 4/20 peacefully and without any trace of stress. Knock

Islamic Center’s Shakir Muhammad explains Muslim prayer By Evan Vicchy @evanNOTkevin7
Praying is a central part of any religion; in Islam, this is especially the case. Muslims pray five times a day in accordance with traditional movements and recitation. The Collegian sat down with Shakir Muhammad, outreach chairman for the Fort Collins Islamic Center, to gain a better understanding of Muslim prayer. Collegian: What is Islam to you? Muhammad: Islam, to me, is the culminating belief in all the prophets and messengers. We believe in the prophets and messengers in the Bible like Jesus, Moses and Noah, and we believe the prophet Mohammad is the last prophet sent to mankind. The main definition of faith is to basically leave off idolatry and to worship God alone. Collegian: What are your praying habits? Muhammad: The five times daily prayer is known as the Salah. It happens five times a day and is based on the position of the sun. Each position of the sun to the next
is the prayer window for that previous prayer. Collegian: Do you have a prayer leader? Muhammad: The imam is the leader of a congregation, and the imam is the leader of any type of Islamic gathering or community. Typically, it’s a person who leads a prayer. In the greater scheme of things, it would be a person who leads the whole community, and even larger than that, it would be a person who has a larger following across nations. Collegian: Can you explain the process of the Salah? Muhammad: In the prayer, there is basically a cycle of prayer movements. So there is standing, there is bowing and there is prostration when your head is on the ground. So that’s one cycle, and then you go up again. Some prayers have more than one movement cycle. There’s one that has two, one that has three and the other three have four cycles. Collegian: What is recitation? Muhammad: The chanting or singing you hear during the prayer. The opening chapter of the Koran is mentioned in all of the prayers. After that, there
are some things that you say in a prayer like “God hears those who praise him,” or “exalted be God” and “God is most great”. After that, a person might recite something from the Koran that they feel inspired to recite. So, a person might recite what fits the moment. Collegian: Is praying time separated by gender? If so, why? Muhammad: Yes, they are separated by gender. Typically, at any mosque, you’ll find men are in the front and women are in the back. Here, the women are actually above on the second level. We wanted to give the women their own space, and often we have Muslim women who wear the face veil, and obviously they wear the hijab. So, she might come from outside and want to take off her head cover. She can do that in the privacy of the women’s section without wondering about men who see her to protect her modesty. Collegian: What is the main goal of the mosque? Muhammad: In the house of God, everything is taken down to the greatest common denominator, which is worship of God. When you saw
Prayers move through the movements of the round during the evening prayer time. These prayers had participants moving through various positions, from standing to bowing to kneeling to touching their forehead to the ground. PHOTO BY JOSH SCHROEDER COLLEGIAN
the prayer, we lined up side by side, and that represents unity and solidarity in worship before God. Islam is very much a communal religion. You cannot be a complete Muslim
alone. Islam encourages you and commands you to be a part of the group. Evan Vicchy can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

MOVIES & TV
CSU film professors share their favorite Wes Anderson films By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules
With his latest movie certified “fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes, Wes Anderson has created yet another aesthetically pleasing film. Anderson is a director known for his unique style and recognizable actors, still present through voice acting in his most recent film, “Isle of Dogs.” Although with some complaints of cultural sensitivity, according to the Los Angeles Times, the movie is well received by most of his audience. In light of the recent release, which will hit Fort Collins’s through The Lyric theatre April 13, Colorado State University film professors weighed in on their favorite Anderson film and what stylistic aspects of his films they most appreciate. Favorite Wes Anderson Film: “Moonrise Kingdom” Stylistically, Wes Anderson has a very strong signature, and that’s clear in “Moonrise Kingdom.” We could talk about centered compositions, bright, tightly-controlled colors, and the handcrafted feel of his mise-en-scene, for example. That said, while Anderson often uses music thoughtfully, “Moonrise Kingdom” probably represents his most sophisticated use of sound. The film begins with children—including Suzy, one of the protagonists—listening to “The Young Person’s guide to Orchestra” on a portable record player. In ways I don’t want to spoil, the musical piece—which playfully demonstrates how various instruments work together to comprise an orchestra—sets up the forward movement of the film’s narrative. Later, the child’s opera “Noye’s Fludde,” by the same composer, Benjamin Britton, accompanies both the budding romance between the two protagonists and the climax of the film. In short, the film’s score takes children as seriously
and sincerely as the rest of the film. And that might be what ultimately endears the film to me. Whereas strict formalism sometimes overshadows narrative in other Anderson films, “Moonrise Kingdom” never loses sight of the rich and complicated inner lives and relationships of children, which forms the heart of the film. Everyone should see this movie! –Kit Hughes, assistant professor of media and visual culture
ISLE OF DOGS ■ Isle of Dogs will be shown in
Fort Collins starting April 13 at The Lyric.
Favorite Wes Anderson Film: “The Royal Tenenbaums” To me as a female film scholar, some of Anderson’s films feel too male-focused. They are male melodramas about male-to-male relationships, often relationships between surrogate/fathers and sons. The “Royal Tenenbaums” is different. It has a strong matriarch figure played by Anjelica Houston and is about dysfunctional family dynamics, not just male-tomale relationships. Some of Anderson’s films are set in otherworldly or exotic places. “The Royal Tenenbaums” is set in Manhattan, the only Anderson film shot in New York City. The film’s main setting, the Tenenbaum house, was location shot in Harlem. Still, the film looks as idiosyncratic and stylized as other Anderson films. Anderson created a unique, timeless look which mixes fashions and sets of different time periods. His New York looks entirely different from New York in Woody Allen’s and Martin Scorsese’s films. I would like to recommend “The Royal Tenenbaums” to young women. This is the most female-friendly Anderson film in my opinion. –Hye Seung
Chung, associate professor of film and media studies Favorite Wes Anderson Film: “Fantastic Mr. Fox” I love the “handmade” quality of the film’s stopmotion animation, which reminds me of recent productions like Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and Aardman Animations’ “Wallace and Gromit” shorts, and even harkens back to classic German and French films such as the 1926 “The Adventures of Prince Achmed” and the 1937 “The Tale of the Fox.” But despite those influences, “Fantastic Mr. Fox” is wholly an Anderson film, replete with all of the themes and stylistic quirks, for which this indie auteur is both celebrated and lovingly parodied. Although it has many of the formal hallmarks of other Wes Anderson films, including centered framings, prop-laden mise-en-scène and an ensemble cast of familiar faces, or in this case, voices, “Fantastic Mr. Fox” is distinctive because of the filmmaker’s chosen medium: stop-motion animation. Unlike his live-action films, this ingeniously conceived production bears the literal and figurative “fingerprints” of the writer-director, as if the characters are as much an extension of his own body and mind as they are the creations of Roald Dahl. I’d recommend Fantastic Mr. Fox to anyone who argues that cinematic adaptations are artistically “less than”—or “secondary” compared to—the books upon which they are based. With all due respect to the late Mr. Dahl, his 1970 novel only hints at the emotional profundity and stylistic dynamism so abundant within Anderson’s zany yet deeply moving film. –David Scott Diffrient, professor of film and media studies Julia Trowbridge can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
CSU’s Medieval Society keeps the past alive By Matthew Smith @latvatalo
A thousand years after the fact, the medieval age is thriving at Colorado State University. Members of a meta-society embedded in the modern world work to keep its customs, crafts and activities functioning as they would have in times long gone. It is a practice known as living history, and CSU’s College of Ram’s Keep is a member of the practice’s most complex organization. It’s called the Society for Creative Anachronism, a global collective of history enthusiasts. Once just the quirky theme of the birthday party for a UC Berkeley medieval studies graduate in the 60s, SCA participation now totals to over 60 thousand around the world. “If someone did it back then, someone somewhere does it now,” Kevin Dillman said. In the modern world, Dillman is a Doctor of Chemistry teaching in Denver. Much of the world is divided up into 20 kingdoms, each with their own politics, structure and heraldry. Fort Collins is ruled by the Outlands, one of 16 American kingdoms running from New Mexico up into Montana. The whole Front Range is then further collectivized into the Barony of Unser Hafen, roughly “our home” in medieval German. Over 30 CSU students make up the College of Rams Keep, an unofficial protectorate of Unser Hafen. Rams Keep meets at

Newsom Hall on Tuesdays. On Sundays, all Unser Hafen members are invited to travel from the farthest reaches of the Barony to the Glenn Morris Field House at CSU for combat practice. The heavy fighters, knights in full armor with shields and swords, are preparing to duel in the upcoming Spring Crown Tournament. This event, taking place March 10, in the Barony of al-Barran (Albuquerque), will decide the ascendency to the next holders of the crown, a title currently held by His Majesty Darius of Jaxartes and Her Majesty Anna MacTaggart. After practice, the fighters hang out and rest their sword arms at Dungeons & Drafts. As explained by court member Lord Iago Martin, aka Charles Smith, “it’s a subculture of what amounts to super nerds.”
“We’re the ones yelling at the history channel” NOLAN SMITH “HAGGIS THE RAG MAN”
As far as subcultures go, none rival the SCA in terms of attention to detail and complexity. The kingdoms can be thought of as their own entire meta societies, fulfilling every imaginable function that would have gone on during the period. Craftsmen and reenactors make up authentic textile businesses, metallurgical foundries, breweries, calligraphy practices, paper
manufacturers, armorers and so, so much more. At massive reenactment events like February’s Estrella War in Arizona, pop up markets offer places for people to trade in and buy their wares. This proxy economy has become so complex to the point that it supports entire livelihoods. Hollywood prop hunters often come to SCA groups in need of cheap, authentic gear. Movies like “Lord of the Rings” and “Braveheart” have relied on SCA armies to stock their background extras. SCA experts often rival historians in terms of period expertise. Faithfully reenacting behavior and following craft guides often reveals new insights that historians cannot derive any other way. At fencing practice, participants bring to life the practices of real medieval combat masters. Disciplines from European masters like Thibault d’Anvers all the way to martial arts like Kendo are amalgamated into a style that fits the individual. “What a lot of us do is we’ll say, ‘ok let me pick this bit out of this guy’s and this bit out of this guy’s,’” Nolan Smith said. “We’ll sort of start blending those styles together and find something that fits us.” Smith, or Haggis the Rag Man, is the acting Rapier Marshal of Unser Hafen and chief combat trainer on Sunday practices. For many members, seeing Haggis and his golf bag stuffed full of swords was all the incentive needed to look into the SCA. Zach Scordato, known as the great Scottish/Viking/
Jason Swain, known as Agmundr by the Society of Creative Anachronism, delivers a blow to Stewart Fairburn, known as Freana, as they spar in the heavy category of medieval combat during practice Sunday at CSU’s Glenn Morris Field House.

Japanese mercenary Murcoch MacAllister, was introduced to the SCA in such a fashion. “I was just like, ‘oh this is kind of cool, sword fighting and stuff,’” Scordato said. With the expertise acquired from these enthusiasts’ passions for history, many things in modern life become more difficult. “We’re the ones yelling at the history channel,” Nolan Smith said. Charles Smith furthered this sentiment. “We’re the nerds who go to museums and go ‘can I touch it,’” Charles Smith said. “And they go ‘nobody’s really asked, but I guess.’”
As much fun as it is to participate in this massive society of live action roleplaying, the SCA does much more. “It isn’t just about the fun, there’s a family element,” Scordato explained. “Many of us would not know what to do with ourselves without this.” For many participants, the friends and belonging acquired through the Barony of Unser Hafen has been life-changing. “There’s a comfort level of just being odd here that you don’t find elsewhere,” Nolan Smith said.

WGAC to host events for Sexual Assault Awareness Month By Matt Smith @latvatalo
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and the calendar is stocked with opportunities to learn and heal. Colorado State University’s Women and Gender Advocacy Center has events for everyone to take part in the effort to end interpersonal violence. This year’s calendar has projects “honoring survivors’ experiences and celebrating their healing,” said Kristy Kumar, assistant director of education programming at the WGAC. “Some folks, when they think of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, they can land in different ways,” Kumar said. “It’s either too close to home or it seems so far away.” For all genders, survivors or not, there are events with you in mind. Survivor Photovoice Project, April 4 Kimberley Breslin, a junior social work student, helps survivors of interpersonal violence heal through storytelling. The Auxillary Gallery of the LSC will host their portraits and stories opening at 5 p.m. Aside from providing an outlet for survivors to share their stories, the Photovoice Project also aims to combat the stigma of sexual assault. Secondary Survivors Workshop, April 5 This event is directed towards
the friends and family of genderbased violence survivors. It can be hard to help heal a victim of sexual assault, and even harder to understand the extent of the trauma. In Eddy 103 from 5–8 p.m., learn how such trauma affects the brain and methods of support. The workshop requires pre-registration to attend, so email wgac@colostate.edu for more information or to be put on the list. #MeToo & Men, April 9 The #MeToo movement has radically changed how survivors of interpersonal violence are heard. At this Men in the Movement event, learn how both genders can actively participate. The doors to LSC 304 open at 5:30 p.m. Alt. Break Digital Shorts & Panel, April 12 This short film screening will be shown at the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art. “Best for those who want to learn more about sexual assault can go to the digital shorts panel,” Kumar said. All the films are “made by survivors of interpersonal violence on campus.” At the following panel discussion and dinner, engage with the filmmakers on ending the silence around violence. The screening opens at 5 p.m. #MeToo & Radical Self-Love, April 18 The second #MeToo event of the month is intended for
both survivors and those close to survivors of sexual violence. Stations throughout the LSC Cherokee Ballroom explore activities for healing and coping, such as therapy dogs, yoga, massages and more.
“Some folks, when they think of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, they can land in different ways. It’s either too close to home or it seems so far away.” KRISTY KUMAR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION PROGRAMMING AT THE WGAC
The door opens at 5 p.m. and dinner is complimentary. Consent Turns Me On Carnival, April 19 The CTMO Carnival is another of the WGAC’s staple Sexual Assault Awareness Month events. This popular expo will pack the Durrell Center with dozens of consent-themed games such as last year’s Cards Against Sexual Assault, Consent Jenga and a sex toy memory game, to name a few. Winners may get free shirts. The carnival is “tailored for residence hall students to come and encourage conversations
around consent and sex positivity in a way that’s actually fun and engaging,” Kumar said. The carnival runs from 6–8 p.m. Take Back The Night, April 26 The biggest WGAC event of the month will be the “Take Back the Night” march and rally, part of a global foundation aimed at ending sexual abuse and all other forms of interpersonal violence, according to the event’s website. “This is an internationally recognized rally and protest,” Kumar said. “It creates an atmosphere of empowerment while raising awareness about sexual violence.” Beginning at the Sutherland Community Garden of the LSC, survivors of abuse will speak out at the open mic before marching through Old Town. The keynote speaker at this year’s TBTN will be Lauren Chief Elk, an activist and educator who is renown for a social media movement advocating income equality. Recently Chief Elk co-founded the Save Wiyabi Project, an initiative to decolonize the anti-violence movement, according to their website. The rally begins at the Sutherland Community Garden at 6 p.m. and the keynote speech when the march ends in Old Town. Matt Smith can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.
