CSU remembers community members lost By Meagan Stackpool @meaganstackpool
Family members, students, faculty and staff gathered Tuesday as part of Rams Remember Rams, an annual event dedicated to paying tribute to the students, alumni and staff who have died. “We started this event a couple of years ago because
we want people to think of CSU as a family. When we lose a member of our community it is like losing a family member,” CSU President Tony Frank said. “We wanted to take time to remember those people who have been such an important part of the life of this institution and of our lives collectively.”
The event began at 5:00 p.m. and lasted 30 minutes. The crowd gathered on the steps of the Administrative building, and then moved to the center of the Oval during a candle light processional. The event began with Mainstreet Acapella singing the Alma Mater, and a short speech from Tony Frank.
“Today, CSU remembers the hearts and minds of her people” Frank said in his speech. “(Those that died) graced us with their presence during their lives, and they live on in our memory.” After Frank’s speech, Vice President Blanche Hughes and Provost Rick Miranda read aloud a list of names of
those lost. After a moment of silence, Taps was played by junior music education major, Kyle Tong. The crowd then proceeded to the center of the Oval as Mainstreet Acapella sang “The Sound of Silence”. “Even though I didn’t know most of the people on that list,

TPUSA communications director debates students on Plaza By Natalia Sperry @natalia_sperry
In the wake of conversations about free speech and accusations of affiliation with white supremacy, the Colorado State University chapter of Turning Point USA invited the national organization’s director of communications, Candace Owens, to speak with students on the Plaza. Owens discussed issues of race, free-market economics, taxation and more with students on the Plaza on Tuesday afternoon. Isabel Brown, president of CSU’s chapter of TPUSA, said the intention was for Owens to engage in a “change my mind”style tabling event to open up a dialogue about political differences on campus. “Basically what we stand for is three things: fiscal responsibility, limited government and free markets. No more, no less than that,” Brown said. “Unfortunately, some individuals on our campus have conflated us with other ideals that have nothing to do with what we stand for or what we promote, or anything that we’ve even talked about.” Conversations surrounding
TPUSA’s affiliation with white supremacy began on campus when the Traditionalist Worker Party, an organization classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an extremist hate and white nationalist group, counterprotested outside Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk’s “Smashing Socialism” event. Most recently at CSUnite, Students Against White Supremacy, a coalition of students protesting white supremacy, condemned the CSU chapter of Turning Point USA. In an interview with CTV, Owens said she believes many of the white supremacists who showed up claiming to support Charlie Kirk are part of an effort by the left to delegitimize all the things that Charlie Kirk and the organization talk about. “We are separate (from those white supremacist organizations), so there’s nothing more we can do,” Owens said. “It doesn’t make sense, they can have their own rallies, they know that Turning Point isn’t a home for them, that we denounce them all the time, so what are (they) showing up for?” The Collegian could not find any evidence to support collusion between white supremacist organizations and leftist groups.
Turning Point and Owens were on the Plaza until about 4 p.m. While most of the interactions were civil at the TPUSA tent, where the group had set up two chairs — one for Owens and one for a questioning student — sources said tensions rose when members of TPUSA and Owens approached the Young Democratic Socialists of America’s table across the Plaza. Larson Ross, a senior political science major and member of Young Democratic Socialists of America, said Turning Point and Owens approached YDSA’s table intending to start a confrontation. “They came up, they surrounded the table entirely, they all whipped out their phones and started recording it, shoving their phones in our faces,” Ross said. “... (Candace Owens) tried to accost me, in particular, about issues she was having with socialism.” While speaking with students on the Plaza, Owens said she has a right to express different political and economic views than other Black individuals, in response to questions and comments by students regarding how her identity and political beliefs intersected. “Black people are not a monolith. I can think differently

from Angela (Davis),” Owens said. “We are not ideological slaves. I do not have to think like her, she does not have to think like me because of the color of our skin.” Owens said, having previously identified as a liberal herself, she believes Black people have been harmed by liberal policies in America. “Every single thing that Black people are going through in this country is because of Democratic policies, because of the welfare system and because individuals like you who don’t allow us to have different ideas and believe in free market capitalism,” Owens
said to SAWS member and ethnic studies graduate student Erica LaFehr, who was engaged in a debate with her about the topic. Following a heated discussion about race with Owens, LaFehr expressed frustration at Owens’ message. “There’s this assumption that if you’re a person of color, or you identify as a marginalized identity, that you somehow can’t perpetuate oppression and can’t perpetuate white supremacy, and that is absolutely inaccurate,” LaFehr said.

I knew some people,” Hughes said. “I think it just make people feel good to know that people are going to be missed and they made a contribution to the University, and we want to remember that. We want to remember that they were here and that they made a difference.” Christopher Lamb, the spiritual care resident for the Spiritual Care Team, gave a short closing speech. “There is power in coming together like this to remember and to honor those that have died,” Lamb said. “As we share in holding our grief, the load becomes just a little bit lighter. Through loving, and losing and loving still, we affirm our
humanity.” After closing remarks, Mainstreet Acapella sang “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Members of the counseling department as well as the Spiritual Care Team were available to talk if anyone needed to. Candles were provided to any who wanted to light one in memorial. The nondenominational Danforth Chapel held a silent reflection until 6 p.m. Hughes emphasized the importance of remembering those who have died. “Its okay to take a moment to say we miss them, they made a difference in our lives,” Hughes said. “We’re doing that together so you don’t have to do that alone.” Meagan Stackpool can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Key class hosts “Better Together Day,” aims to unify religions through discussion By Audrey Weiss @audkward
With approximately 4,300 religions worldwide, everything from specific practices to scripture can vary. Elizabeth Sink, Colorado State University professor of the key multifaith and belief engagement course, and her students hosted Better Together Day on the plaza on April 10 to break down these differences. Sink said bringing together people of different backgrounds is one of her passions, especially when it seems impossible. “I think it’s one of the most important things we can do as a nation right now,” Sink said. Freshman Donavon Reed, one of Sink’s students, said this is a national event that aims to bring together people of differing religious and spiritual beliefs to discuss how they manifest themselves. “We’re out here to look at everybody’s religion and beliefs to see that we are equal and come together as one,” Reed said. “We’re out here to support that and bring that to campus to show that we are a very diverse campus here at CSU.” Sink said her class combines world religions and engagement by conversing across lines of differences through events and service projects. This is the second big event of the year that has been hosted by the class, the first of which was Interfaith Friends-giving during the fall semester. Students participating in the event were welcomed to play giant Jenga with questions pertaining to religious beliefs

printed across the sides. One of the questions asked was what participants would ask someone from a different spiritual background, if given the opportunity to do so. Sophomore Human Dimensions of Natural resources major Karey Olson said she would like to learn more about how and when different people were introduced to religion. Sophomore political science major Avery Ranum said he would like to learn more about why and how people practice their religion(s). In addition to this game, attendees were invited to take photos labeled with different beliefs. One of Sink’s students, Dalton Vandivere, said he was very happy with the way the event went. “I really like this event partially because my beliefs are mostly around looking at a lot of other beliefs and building my own,” Vandivere said. “I believe that’s something that most people
should try to do and it also gives us a way to connect with each other. There have been a lot of great conversations we’ve had (today).” Daniel Lopez, one of the participants, said he was happy with the event and the way that CSU handles unity. Lopez stressed that, in a mixture of many beliefs and religions, it is important that they unite. “Everyone should just come together and acknowledge that we’re the same,” Lopez said. This event occurs annually and is open and intended for the public to interact in interfaith communication through different activities, Sink said. “I’m motivated to … get the (Jewish people), and the atheists, and the Christians and the Muslims all in the same room and show how we can better each others lives,” Sink said. “Not just prove each other wrong, but better each others lives.” Audrey Weiss can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Steven Lim discusses Asian-American media representation By Matt Bailey @mattnes1999
Steven Lim, Buzzfeed junior video producer and creator and host of the “Worth It” Buzzfeed video series on YouTube, discussed the “Impact of AsianAmericans in Media” Tuesday night in the Lory Student Center. His presentation was given for Asian Pacific Islander and Desi American Heritage Month at Colorado State University. Hosted by the Asian/Pacific American Cultural Center at the Longs Peak Room in the LSC, Lim began his hourlong discussion by focusing on his experiences growing up as an Asian-American kid in Ohio, specifically during his middle school years. “I actually grew up in a school where I was the only Asian kid,” Lim said. “I was called ‘the Asian kid,’ and back in 2003, I took a lot of pride in that. I liked that that was my identity. It made me special, a little bit different.” Lim explained during this time he did not have many Asianidentifying role models, with the exception of Jackie Chan. He said most Asian-identifying actors and actresses on TV expressed common Asian stereotypes. Lim said he felt like he lost his identity as an Asian-American when a kid from China started attending his school. “People couldn’t even differentiate between me and him,” Lim said. “Because we were both Asian, it was confusing to white people. They would call him
Ian, they would call me Ian as well, and that was the beginning of my understanding of trying to figure out why representation matters.” Limblamestherepresentation of Asian-Americans in the media as a huge reason why he would get confused with another Asianidentifying person. “What I realized is that I’m not going to blame the people that I was with, I’m not blaming the other people in school for the fact that they couldn’t tell the difference between us,” Lim said. “I think there’s a bigger question, which is, what are they consuming in the media?” Lim said he then discovered YouTube and all the AsianAmerican YouTubers who were creating unique content that was not defined by stereotypes. He said his most influential Asian-American role models growing up were YouTubers such as Ryan Higa, KevJumba, David Choi, Arden Cho and others. Lim wanted to someday create his own unique content, too. Lim went on to graduate with a degree in chemical engineering and ended up promoting Tide Pods for Tide, but disliked the job. His mom eventually motivated him to quit his job and create a YouTube channel where he posted one or two videos a week. “When I started YouTube, I made 100 videos, and they all were what I would consider to be failures,” Lim said. “The way that I mean failure here is the most positive one possible. I sat there and made 100 very bad videos, but
got better slowly.” After releasing a popular video, titled “Asian Parents React to I Love You,” Lim was contacted by Buzzfeed and was offered a job. Lim initially did not accept the job offer, but eventually took the opportunity after his YouTube channel started declining in popularity. Lim sought to create AsianAmerican content at Buzzfeed, but his Asian-American videos that he cared about were not popular with any audiences, and the videos he did not care about were very popular with audiences. Eventually, Lim ran into the same problems he faced in middle school. In the comment sections of his videos, people would often compare Lim to other Asianidentifying Buzzfeed employees. Lim also started receiving comments from people who looked up to him. “They started to see me not as a stereotype, not as an ethnicity, not as a gender or a height, but they see me as a person, a human, myself,” Lim said. “That was really the moment when I decided I wanted to make food content.” As an Asian-identifying person, Lim wanted to delve into a category of content that he explained is filled with many white content creators, such as Anthony Bourdain and Guy Fieri. When Lim came up with the idea of the “Worth It” series, the response he got from producers was to cast white co-hosts, and this upset him to the point that he pulled back from making the show

for months. “You will see challenges in your workforce, in day-to-day life, where it’s not racism, it’s not a way to push people down, it’s just that that in a lot of ways, it’s just how society works,” Lim said. “It’s not a particular person’s fault, but it is the failure of a system.” Lim was inspired by other Asian-identifying Buzzfeed employees, such as Eugene Lee Yang, to eventually go through with his idea for a series based on food content. He said in an industry where there are so many shows from white perspectives, he wanted to add his own unique perspective. “Worth It” has gone on to
be one of the most popular and successful series from Buzzfeed. According to a Buzzfeed article, “Worth It’ has accumulated over 360 million views and 2.5 billion minutes of watch time as of October 2017. Lim encourages people of color to create their own unique content, because he said that even if things don’t work out in the beginning, success comes in time. “If you are a person of color, even if you are a white person, think the other way,” Lim said. “Think that if you want to cast a show or promote something, there is a lot of value in diversity.” Matt Bailey can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Congressional candidate talks government spending, free speech By Samantha Ye @samxye4
The United States government has a spending problem and college-aged students will be the ones to pay for it, which was the main message Peter Yu hoped to impart to Colorado State University students at the College Republican meeting Tuesday night. Yu is currently the sole Republican candidate running for Congressional District 2 representative. Incumbent Jared Polis (Democrat) is running for Colorado governor. Yu also spoke about his plans to rein in spending and free speech as a platform for uniting people. Yu said government spends too much and does so wastefully, with little accountability. That has created the growing $21 billion
national debt which will severely harm on future generations, Yu said. “It’s not about me,” Yu said. “It’s truly about making sure that people of your age—the people that will actually be affected who are in college right now— understand that we really do have to make sure we focus on the economy so that we don’t get it out of control.” Yu said if he were to get elected, he would vote against every single bill with a spending increase and fight budget increases. He would also approve of a flat tax to pay off the debt, but acknowledges that it is unlikely to pass. Yu said he would not make promises about providing universal healthcare or free education, because that would require additional taxes and too much spending, which he finds stagnating to the economy. He does believe, however, there are
other solutions to make such services affordable. Yu said free speech was important now more than ever in order for the country to come together, regardless of differing ideology, party or race. “If we can’t come together, we’re always going to be apart,” Yu said. “Minorities are not victims, we are not two steps behind everyone else. You know who the true minority is? It’s the white single male because if (he) said anything or (he) said anything, they would call (him), probably, a white supremacist.” Toki Hirakata, sophomore agriculture business major, asked Yu for advice on how conservative students could communicate their viewpoints effectively on a college campus. Yu said the best way was to listen to the liberal perspective, respond to questions and also ask them in a straightforward way.
“When you get confrontational, you’re not going to get anywhere,” Yu said. Hirakata said she found Yu very respectful to the different perspectives in the audience and found his advice really helpful. “(What) he said really pushes people to have a conversation instead of everybody just yelling at each other,” Hirakata said. For the 2016 election, Yu said he first supported Ted Cruz, and then Marco Rubio and finally Donald Trump. Yu had reached out to College Republicans to come speak because he wanted as many voters to meet who they were voting for. While it was a College Republican meeting, the audience also included nonCollege Republicans and some libertarians. State Treasurer candidate Brita Horn (Republican) and Colorado Senate
District 15 candidate Rob Woodward (Republican) also spoke at the meeting to ask for student support. College Republicans president Veronica Morin said she appreciated how Yu was non-inflammatory about his viewpoints. “He appeals to a lot of different demographics: to the young, middle and older,” Morin said. “He can really find good, solid ground for people to connect on.” Although more Republican candidates could potentially come forward upto the primary in June, Morin said it was probably safe to say their organization would endorse Yu, though with a bit of wiggle room. “We can’t concede to the same old, same old,” Yu said. “I have no doubt, come November, that I will win this race.” Samantha Ye can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Tony Frank caught writing mean comments on Facebook By Ryan Tougaw @rjtougaw
Editor’s note: This is a satire piece from The Collegian’s opinion section. Real names may be used in fictitious/semifictitious ways. Those who do not read editor’s notes are subject to being offended. Colorado State University President Tony Frank was caught in the act of writing off-color comments on The Collegian’s website late Friday night. Frank, writing under the pseudonym “Frony Tank,” was exposed by the hacker group Anonymous after a comment on The Collegian webpage went viral, garnering 12 likes on Facebook in 45 minutes. “The powerful need to know that they can’t keep secrets from the rest of us,” an anonymous spokesperson from Anonymous said. “We knew we needed to find out who was committing these offenses, no matter how creative Frank’s pseudonym was.”
The mean comment in question read: “The Collegian is really just subpar. They don’t do nearly enough stories about the president of CSU, who I hear is really doing an excellent job. I guess that’s what you’d expect from a lowly student publication, constantly focusing on pointless issues like tuition increases and stadium expenses.” Frank also allegedly posted a number of conspiratorial comments on The Collegian’s, page asserting that they were misusing their position as a student media outlet to propagate a student agenda. The Colorado State University administration is considering punitive steps for Frank, including revoking his presidential parking permit and limiting emails to 200 words. The University will also hire its 82nd social media manager, Connie Ji, a recently graduated Collegian employee. Ryan Tougaw can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

SPECTRUM 2018 BENEFITS ALL CSU STUDENTS BY TEAGAN SMITH Hey Rammies! If you were at the CSU Fashion Show, Spectrum 2018 on Friday night, then you got to see the future of the fashion industry! From recycled military parachutes to evening gowns, this show had it all. The spotlights were pointed straight at the four designers who won awards for their designs, but every collection was jaw-dropping! If you haven’t heard already, you should know to keep an eye on the fab-four designers of the night! Sara Begley won Best Construction, Lauren Bruce-Lund won Most Marketable, Erica Quinones won Most Innovative, and Nicole Pink won Outstanding Designer! If you’re a common S.O. reader, then you know that the Fashion Show requires tireless effort to create. SO, what are the benefits of the Fashion Show other than a fabulous night of fashion? All of the students involved in the Design and Merchandising Department get a first-hand real-life experience of what it’s like to design
a collection, and produce a fashion show. All hands are on deck for this event, everyone, no matter their focus of study in the department gains valuable experience from this show. The year of planning and organizing begins almost immediately after the previous show ends. A specific class within the department decides the theme and name for upcoming season’s show. Each subsequent decision for the show includes heavy research from none other than the forecastinggoogle of fashion, WGSN. If you think a textbook is expensive, think again. A single subscription to WGSN for businesses in the industry costs over $30,000. Colorado State University has an educational subscription through the library proxy server. The cost to the university is over $7000, half is paid by the library the other half by income and fundraising from the CSU Fashion Show. Now prepare to have your mind blown… the proceeds from the Fashion Show each year benefit every single student at CSU. How? They enable every student to have a subscription to WGSN at no cost
to them. Business student? Use WGSN. Engineer? Physicist? You could probably use WGSN. It’s okay; I was a Physics major during my first year at CSU. Word around the block in Physics is that some people want to wear capes when doing research. WGSN has you covered. Health and Exercise Science? You could come up with a new style of sneaker that’s fashionable and supports everyone! Every major can benefit from this site. Open your mind to a little creativity! If you’re a Design and Merchandising major, this website is in your saved tabs on your laptop. WGSN is the primary source of research for forecasting what styles to look out for and gain inspiration from for the following fashion season and more importantly the next CSU Fashion Show. It is also probably the reason you got that new shirt that you’re obsessed with. Made.com, Fila, L’Oréal, and other large corporations benefit from using WGSN, and you can too! Give the website a browse with us while we eagerly await the next Fashion Show! For students to access WGSN,
go through the colostate.edu to Libraries and to the A-Z database. Choose W and find WGSN. You will need to create a user account with your rams.colostate. edu email address and verify your name and account information. Then get ready to browse the global trends for three to four years in the future. We spoke with Carol EngelEnright, a professor in the Department of Design and Merchandising at CSU, about her reflection on this year’s show. The CSU Fashion Show Spectrum 2018 had 24 collections, the Design program selects only 25 students every year to enter the program through a portfolio process. Carol emphasized that “Each year is bigger and better than the last! All of the students involved in the show push themselves hard to make every show better than the last.” The professor described Spectrum 2018 as “spectacular!”, and is very excited for what’s ahead.

Stop fracking to stop unnatural earthquakes 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. In recent years, Colorado has been experiencing earthquakes in areas where they’ve never happened before. Anywhere from Greeley to Trinidad, earthquakes are becoming more common. Many of these earthquakes are a result of injecting wastewater into the ground, which is a common side effect of fracking. The amount of fracking and wastewater injection in Colorado needs to stop before we damage the earth beyond repair. One of the many negative effects of fracking is the production of wastewater. Many oil and gas wells produce unusable wastewater, so they
pump it back into the ground. “We suspect the vast majority of these earthquakes are from produced wastewater,” head seismologist for the Oklahoma Geological Survey Austin Holland said in an article from the Washington Post. Wastewater injection is causing earthquakes in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. In 1962, Colorado experienced its first induced earthquake located north of Denver. It was a consequence of chemical waste being injected back into the ground. A study conducted by the University of Colorado investigated the number of earthquakes in the Raton Basin, located in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. In 2001, about two years after large-scale wastewater injections began, earthquakes started increasing in southern Colorado. They recorded more than 1,800 earthquakes between 2008 and 2010, with the highest magnitude being 4.3. This is very similar to what happened in Oklahoma.
According to the Denver Post, Oklahoma only had a few dozen earthquakes that reached a magnitude of 3.0 or higher in 2012. By 2015, there were more than 900 earthquakes of that size. After the state put regulations on wastewater injection sites, the number of earthquakes reduced to about 600 in 2016. However, these regulations aren’t doing enough. It’s obvious that this side effect of fracking is causing major damage, so it should stop all together rather than making the consequences less detrimental. This problem has the potential to affect those living in northern Colorado as well. According to a map created by the Denver Post, northern Colorado has many active fracking and oil and gas wells, with 45 wells in Weld County, near Greeley, actively pumping wastewater back into the ground. Additionally, thousands of earthquakes have also been reported close to Greeley over the past five years. As a side effect of a disregard for the wellbeing of the earth, many in Colorado face the
potential of being subject to the negative consequences of this unnatural natural disaster. Investing in stronger infrastructure is not the solution. Colorado is not on a fault line like the Pacific Northwest, so there’s no reason we should be having earthquakes. Funneling money into preventative measures to continue projects that are actively hurting the earth is far from a solution. At the very least, we should be putting regulations on the fracking that’s happening in Colorado to ensure that it doesn’t cause enough damage to repeat Oklahoma’s mistakes. At the end of March I wrote a column about a student protesting against a fracking project in Greeley. Now more than ever, students should be following his lead in protesting against these environmental injustices, because the consequences have the potential to directly effect us.

CSUnite cannot be the end of the fight against hate Jayla Hodge @JaylaHodge
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. Last week I stood in a crowd with hundreds of other students and community members as we “united” against hate. CSUnite was described as an event to help show solidarity against hate and the harmful ideologies that have been appearing on campus. At the time, listening to the speakers and looking around at the faces I see everyday, I remember thinking “what is this actually going to do?” These hate acts are not new. They are just more publicized lately. Marginalized communities on this campus have been suffering hate incidents and microaggressions for years silently under guise that we live in a “post-racial” environment and the welcoming safety of Fort Collins.
This is false. Not everyone feels welcomed here. While on paper CSUnite appears to be the University’s way of taking action and supporting all identities in the student body, the event lacked any real substance. It served more as a marketing tool than a real stance against racism, anti-semitism, homophobia and sexism and other despicable ideologies that are so deeply embedded in this community most of the people in the crowd probably don’t recognize the symptoms of these insidious diseases. It’s more than just showing up to and literally “standing” against hate. Standing against hate takes work in our everyday lives. It means speaking out even though it may be uncomfortable. It means reflecting on our own behaviors and realizing how we may be upholding supremacy. Unless they are accompanied by action, events like CSUnite do more harm than good. It promotes the idea that showing up to an event, and showing solidarity is enough. It serves as an evasion. It allows for students who are not being targeted or are in the majority
to justify themselves as “not part of the problem” because they attended. It allows them to affirm themselves without any actual reflection or change. Several ASCSU presidential candidates and senators also attended the event and spoke about combating hate crimes as a part of their campaign platforms. Senators and candidates of ASCSU should still continue to do more, even after the spotlight is off of them. They should do more to break out of the trend of simply claiming they stand against hate, and actually do more to combat it. Even though these hate crimes and incidents have been happening for a long time and saw a dramatic increase this school year, ASCSU just addressed the issues for the first time a few weeks ago in time for elections. They have not made combating hate a priority, and need to show that they will make a bigger effort after CSUnite. CSUnite was created out of good intentions, and many of the speakers spoke their truths and were brave. That is not to be discredited. This event should serve as a stepping stone and be followed up with more events
A Sandridge Energy oil rig operates on the Oklahoma border in Harper County, Kansas.
and conversations, not just serve as a one-time demonstration. It takes action, it take starting panels and other discussions. More needs to be done. Standing against hate takes more than just standing. It take genuine work and effort. It takes speaking out. It’s been barely more than a week and there are already more hate crimes on campus. Good intentions are not enough to help students who do not feel safe at CSU. Good intentions do not help the students who are still called racial slurs, are excluded in classes from their peers, and have to see white supremacist propaganda in a place they pay to learn at. CSUnite was a good start, but there is more work to be done. Join groups like Students Against White Supremacy, report bias motivated incidents or even that kid in class that drops the n-word. More importantly don’t become complacent: we must continuously work everyday to eliminate hate on our campus and in our world. Jayla Hodge can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

Athletic nutritionist puts fuel Expect more success from CSU soccer in the tank of Ram athletes By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann
As spring begins the football team awaits the arrival of several players that will make their way to campus this summer. One of the most important cogs in the Rams’ success, though, has already been on campus for years. Pamela Bartz, the mastermind behind the fuel entering the bodies of athletes all around campus, has taken her impact beyond the counter, hoping to be a constant reminder in the minds of those she aids. As director of sports nutrition, she stretches the job title to a second mother for many in her gridiron flock, along with doing the same for each and every other sport. “She knows exactly what I need and what I’ll want after practice,” senior running back Izzy Matthews said. “When I was losing a lot of weight, she was putting (weight loss) stuff in it and just building that relationship so she knows who you are and what you need… (She’s) definitely like a second mom figure.” When Bartz is not making her presence felt in person, the players are a mere click away from shooting her a text if they need assistance. Whether it is at the grocery store, at a restaurant perusing the menu or even in a drive thru, Bartz aims to be a decision-making guide. In helping to make decisions, the players are also given a broad base of knowledge on how certain foods can be utilized for their bodies. A higher level of food awareness helps to keep the players out of harm’s way and the dreaded grease trap that can daunt them at several eateries around town. “I love the nutrition center because they taught me a lot about doing the little things,” senior defensive lineman Richard King said. “As far as hydration (and) eating a
healthy diet (I) really see how far that goes in relation to your play. I’m seeing a direct correlation now that I have the right nutrition.” Seeing results from her teachings and cooking is something that Bartz strives for and feels only furthers the connection with the players she looks to build up. Lessons can only go so far without results, and the wellness brought to the players by the training staff and nutrition center are paying dividends. The meals served are not just redundant uses of boring greens, though; Bartz seeks to bring a freshness to the kitchen that will only elevate the usefulness and flavor of the foods she serves. Varied flavors and ingredients still serve a singular purpose for Bartz: maximum performance. Though home-cooking is a tall task for the staff of the CSU nutrition center, the aim is to bring freshness regardless of the course, a valiant attempt to cut out the processing in food. Varying intakes and plans for each player come with personal meetings periodically for each, allowing a freeflowing dialogue to be created about what each player seeks to gain from their nutrition. All sizes and shapes, all diets and appetites, and even personal favorites from home are sought to be cared for by Bartz and her staff. Though football involves a lessened reach among the world as many other sports present on campus, Bartz seeks to switch it up for players and coaches alike. With varieties such as over 50 shake flavors for pre- and post-workout, the nutrition team is allowing players to adjust to an everchanging world of athletics. “Strength and conditioning is always changing, so nutrition is (too),” Bartz said. “If it’s

2017 marked the most productive year in program history for the Colorado State women’s soccer team, but with a strong class of incoming freshmen and a roster loaded with returning talent, the Rams can look forward to another record-setting season in 2018. Led by a foursome of Rams with three goals apiece, last year’s squad matched the singleseason goals record of 14 before conference play had even begun. The Rams finished the season with 26, nearly doubling the record set in 2014. Finding that kind of production again in 2018 will not be easy, but the talent is already in place for another breakout year. Of the 15 goal scorers from a year ago, 13 are returning to the pitch in 2018, including all seven of the Rams who scored twice or more. Although freshman Ally Murphy-Pauletto broke out as an offensive threat with the program’s first hat trick against New Mexico State, the Rams relied on a balanced scoring attack with multiple contributors throughout the season. At forward, the return of Murphy-Pauletto with another year of experience will be a dangerous combination alongside
CSU’s all-time leading goal-scorer, Hannah Gerdin. The midfield, too, is returning a batch of talent led by freshaman Karli Eheart and junior Caeley Lordemann. However, the most potent position group for the Rams heading into next year will be defense. Last year, the Rams’ defense played a dynamic role in shutting out conference opponents Utah State and Nevada. Offensively, defender Makenzi Taylor did a brilliant job delivering set pieces and led the team with four assists. Her defensive partner, sophomore Halley Havlicek, netted three goals while starting all 19 games. Havlicek’s emergence on and off the field last season also earned the sophomore a captain position alongside junior Kaija Ornes. Havlicek, Taylor and the Rams’ defense made their greatest impact in conference play near the end of the season. If their development and chemistry continues on this upward trajectory, the Rams will be an even scarier matchup for opposing offenses next season. Although the Rams are wrought with returning talent up front, in the midfield and on defense, they will get even better when the incoming crop of freshmen arrive on campus this fall. On January’s National Signing Day, the Rams inked six freshmen to join the 2018 roster. Of course, projecting talent is never a guarantee, but this freshmen class has the makings to be the best ever. According to CSU head coach
Bill Hempen, what makes this incoming class special is that they all come from very successful club teams in Colorado and Texas. Each are contributors for their club teams and are set on bringing those winning ways to Fort Collins. Making an impact and adjusting to the collegiate level can be a challenge for freshmen, but Hempen has shown the ability to put first year players in positions to succeed. Last season, CSU freshmen accounted for a program-record 10 goals, or 38 percent of the Rams’ total offense. If the Rams can generate half that production from this year’s incoming class, the newly minted goal record will easily be broken. Although on paper the record is good for 11th in the conference, the Rams could have been competing for a top-6 finish and a conference tournament spot if a couple of results had gone their way. CSU went to overtime four times in MW play last year and came away with three draws and one loss. If they could have found the back of the net, or held the lead in regulation time in at least two of those, they would have finished with the same amount of wins as sixth-place Air Force. If this group develops, the infusion of incoming talent will propel the Rams to new heights in the record books and in the standings. Christian Hedrick can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

timing, choices, we always try new things … We get to really have fun and it’s a hands-on life experience.” The experimentation has its limits for the staff, however, as a model of consistency leading up to game day is enforced. Within two days of the game, the plan will cease to yield diverse foods as Bartz and her staff seek to provide the players with a common ground in pregame preparation. The pregame involves a meal four hours before game time, as well as snacks when needed. Both edible encounters are accompanied by a healthy dose of hydration, a factor that is highly influential on the gridiron among other athletic venues. The preparation for game day also includes a pair of meals and a
nighttime snack the day before. Following road games, Bartz utilizes the ingredients common to their new temporary stomping grounds, such as southern food when the Rams make their way to SEC country as they did last year when they traveled to play the Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa. “If we’re going to an area of the country that has a certain type of food that is unique to that area, that gets demoed and tested early,” said Terry DeZeeuw, director of sports performance. “It provides our student athletes with a unique opportunity to dive into different areas and expectations from a food standpoint.” Everything is still made with health in mind, in order to garner the best out of each athlete. Using different ingredients with the same underlying purpose allows the nutrition center to place itself hand-in-hand with the performance staff.
“From our perspective, once a player buys in and realize how much better they feel and perform, they’ll see visible differences in their body composition, they’ll have more energy, they’ll be able to have more effective workouts… that really is what puts them over the edge,” DeZeeuw said. Overseeing the entire health program for all athletes, DeZeeuw has given Bartz free reign, allowing her to also find those who share her passion, including her new full-time assistant Julie Sinkovitz who joined the staff this year. Surrounded by elite facilities, the trio shares the goal of allowing athletes the opportunity to reach their potential as Rams under their tutelage, advancing past what their previous personal expectations were. Every day is “game day” for the staff behind the scenes, and the success on the field follows suit. Luke Zahlmann can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Women falter, men rebound for CSU golf By Mack Beaulieu @Macknz_james
The Colorado State women’s and men’s golf teams have some things to think about after playing over the weekend. The women had their worst finish of the season, at 15th, right before conference championship play this coming weekend while the men finished well to take 8th in a strong field with eight top-40 teams. The women started off the weekend slow and things only got worse as they dropped a place in every round to finish 15th at the Bryan National Collegiate. CSU shot 20-over par in the first round of the tournament to land tied for 13th. Katrina Prendergast led the way in the round with a 3-over 74. The next round was a little better for the Rams, as they only shot 18-over, but the only real bright spot was Ellen Secor recording a 1-under 71. In a strong field, the Rams couldn’t bring it together all at once. “We have to get everybody playing the best they can if we’re going to compete in a field like that,” coach Annie Young said. The next day might have been the most discouraging as the Rams shot a grizzly 28-over par to finish the tournament in 15th place. Secor and Prendergast had solid individual tournaments, finishing tied for 16th and 21st respectively, but the Rams as a whole shot a 66-over 930 for the tournament. With the Mountain West Tournament coming up this weekend, Young doesn’t necessarily think this will throw the Rams off. “I think sometimes when you don’t play so well, maybe it wakes you up a little bit,” Young said. “I think they’re going to come out ready to play … The biggest thing is we need to finish the season with three good rounds and see where that ends up. When we do that we usually finish pretty well.” The men were playing in what was by far their best field of the year, one they’ve been vying to be a part of for a while. “For us to be invited to that tournament was a really big step for the program,” coach Christian Newton said. “So I was very proud of them, it’s a place where you have to be mentally tough.” Playing in a score-5 tournament, the six-man Rams played within reach of each other for most of the
tournament and improved their team score by six strokes in every round. The first round was the worst as they struggled on soft greens from rain the night before. They shot 11-over 361 for the round, on an unusual par-70. Max Oelfke led the charge with a round at par, his first of three rounds at or below par. Jake Staiano followed him up with a 1-over for the round. Many of the tournament’s teams, including CSU, did much better in a second round that was split because of more rain. Aside from A.J Ott, everybody’s score improved or stayed the same, while Staiano’s stellar round of 3-under 67 helped keep him locked in the Rams’ first five when they go back to 4-count tournaments this weekend. “For us to play well in that format (play six-count five), really speaks even more to how deep this team is,” Newton said. “The rest of the year, there’s the traditional play five-count four, so we determined our lineup for ASU and that’s about as far as I’m gonna go. At ASU it’ll be the guys who finished one thru five at the Western.” The Rams saved their best for the final round as Ott and Oelfke were below par, with a 4-under 66 and a 2-under 68, respectively. Aside from Staiano, the Rams all had or matched their best days of the tournament. Jack Ainscough posted the same score in all three rounds, but an uptick from the rest of the team helped earn the Rams the third-best team score of the day with a 1-under 349. They needed all they could get after a shaky first round and got just enough to pull in ahead of Arizona and Pepperdine, who were only separated by two strokes from the Rams. Ultimately, the team posted a 15-over to finish eighth. “I think we were 15-over through nine holes and that’s about what we finished,” Newton said. “After getting off to such a rough start, for the guys to rebound and play so well those last two and a half rounds speaks real well for them.” The men will play next in the Arizona State Thunderbird Invitational this weekend, April 14-15. The women will hope to extend their season with their play in the Mountain West Championship from April 17-19. Mack Beaulieu can be reached online at sports@ collegian.com.

B/AACC discusses impacts of Black Twitter By Isabelle Rayburn @Seiss_Diosaa
Black Twitter, a virtual community mostly consisting of Black or African American Twitter users, is mostly known for its clap backs and activism. Black Twitter impacts both the people participating in it and watching it unfold greatly. The Black/ African American Culture Center office had a talk Tuesday afternoon about how social media affects Black Twitter and other social media movements, what they are used for and what can be learned from it.
FUN FACT ■ There are over 67 million Twitter
users in the U.S.
Black Twitter is very helpful for some members and users to find out the latest news. “Black Twitter is a community where you can relate to people all around the world who understand you culturally, or you can gain information or you can see some funny memes,” senior neuroscience major Bethany Norwood said. “I think the access to information has led to me being more woke and understanding certain situations that are not just going on in my neighborhood but
all over the world.” Black Twitter has also helped people find insight into the Black community. “Black Twitter has given me a lot of information that I wouldn’t have known otherwise,” senior human development and family studies major Tristen Peyser said. “It has given me more insight on the Black community because I’m not from Colorado, and I feel like Colorado is a very white state. So, I feel like it kept me in touch with where I’m from. I’m biracial, so it has helped me connect to that side of my family.” Black Twitter has many uses and makes people of color feel like they have a voice. “Black Twitter is basically a way for people to express themselves,” sophomore health and exercise science major Corissa Norwood, said. “It’s a platform where they are able to be taken seriously and help people of color with problems and tell people politically what is wrong and right. It has impacted me because it has given me a way to express myself, whether it’s tweeting back at them or retweeting them just to get around for people that don’t understand the struggle to realize what is happening in the Black community to help us out more.” Isabelle Rayburn can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

ACT HUMAN RIGHTS FILM FESTIVAL
‘Dead Donkeys Fear No Hyenas’ sheds light on foreign land grabs in Ethiopia By Ty Davis @tydavisACW
Ethiopia has a paradoxical relationship with agriculture. “Dead Donkeys Fear No Hyenas” shows how the previous administration in the Ethiopian government sold thousands of hectares of land to agricultural companies. In the process, much of the forest in Ethiopia was razed, which pushed out many indigenous groups. Much of this selling is done in the name of developing the country. The film follows journalist Argaw Ashine as he uncovers the injustices of the Ethiopian government and agricultural companies. The film interviews several people pushed out during the selling of the land and reveals their experiences dealing with the Ethiopian military.
