By Gabriel Go @rgabrielgo

In its first session of the year, the student government’s senate brought a motion to impeach its president.

A petition to impeach President Josh Silva was raised by Senator Cerridwyn Nordstrom on Wednesday night during the Associated Students of Colorado State University’s weekly meeting.

The impeachment motion comes after senators and others in ASCSU claimed Silva had violated the ASCSU Constitution when he began negotiating with the Wall Street Journal over a contract that would bring more of the company’s materials on campus.

The charges stem from a proposal called “The Wall Street Journal Academic Proposal.”

Under the contract, ASCSU

would pay $19,067 -- 39.3 percent -- of a $48,445 contract that would provide students with access to digital and print copies of the Wall Street Journal, along with affiliated academic platforms, like Canvas. Silva presented the proposal to the ASCSU senate, but did not present a bill to acquire funding.

Reading from the petition, Senator Nordstrom specifically said Silva was in violation of Section 801 of the ASCSU Constitution and Article I, Section D, Part 6 of the ASCSU Code of Ethics. Section 801 of the Constitution states “funds may be transferred between ASCSU departments by the President, only with the approval of Senate in the form of a Supplemental Funding Bill that shall be written and presented by the President.”

Nordstrom would not comment after bringing forward

the petition.

Article I, Section D, Part 6 of the ASCSU Code of Ethics states ASCSU officials may not make any unauthorized commitments that would bind the student body.

The proposal was drafted during the summer while senate was not in session. The proposal was already negotiated, but not signed, and funds had not yet been allocated.

Earlier during Wednesday’s session, Silva and ASCSU Vice President Michael Wells spoke about the proposal to the legislature. They apologized to the senate for not communicating their intentions thoroughly and during the presentation, Silva said he was not in violation of the Constitution. see IMPEACH on page 3 >>

Millions watch her perform on “America’s Got Talent,” and last weekend, thousands gathered to see her perform the “National Anthem” at the opening day of the new on-campus stadium. Despite having no hearing ability, Mandy Harvey is currently a semi-finalist on “America’s Got Talent,” inspiring millions with her resilience.

Harvey began studying music education at Colorado State University in 2006. She left that same year after her partial hearing loss became complete.

“It had been my dream to be a choir director for college level music,” Harvey said. “I never in a million years saw myself performing.”

Harvey began singing at four years old. Her childhood-voicecoach and former Assistant Professor of Music and Voice at CSU, Cynthia Vaughn remembers a time when a high school-aged Harvey would dedicate her time to helping others.

“As a teen, Mandy worked at church as a janitor, and she would save up money to help other kids go to church camp,” Vaughn said. “She did it anonymously.”

Vaughn said Harvey was always a hard worker.

“She was very musical and learned music ... quicker than any other student I have had ... she had an uncanny memory for songs and lyrics,” Vaughn said.

President faces impeachment >> from page 1 “We did not violate the Constitution,” Silva said.

“Michael and I set a really high bar for ourselves when it comes to being transparent and for a lot of people there was a feeling that we fell short of that bar.

If there’s a protocol that was broken per se, (it would be) communicating.”

The motion to impeach came as a surprise to Silva and others who were present at the senate session. In order for the impeachment to move forward, 20 percent of all ASCSU senators must sign the charges.

The petition currently has 13 signatures, which constitutes 26 percent of all senators.

“For me, it does rise to the level of impeachment due to the severity of the situation, and due to the fact that the president had gone against a constitution he swore to uphold and protect,” Senator Isaiah Martin said.

Martin said that he found out about the motion the day it was announced. Senator Martin was one of the 13

senators to sign the petition Wednesday evening.

A one-week period is given to the author in order to make any additions, changes or to retract the charges.

More individuals can sign the petition or they can remove their signatures altogether during that time.

An impeachment committee will be formed next

week.

Silva said that he would respect the entirety of the impeachment process.

“I’ve faith in the process we have. We still have a lot of work to do,” Silva said.

ALVS develops Elevate program to aid adult learners

By Austin Fleskes @Austinfleskes07

Adult Learner and Veterans Services expanded their support for non-traditional students by creating a program that not only reintroduced adult learners to curriculum but also created a community of learners who could depend on one another.

This support took the form of the new program known as Elevate, which was launched this summer at Colorado State University. Elevate was designed to enhance the academic skills and community engagement for adult learners admitted to CSU for fall of 2017, according to Marc Barker, the director of ALVS. Through research conducted at CSU, it was determined that there were two subject areas that were barriers to adult learners: college-level mathematics and college-level English.

“We decided to build an academic program centered around

those two curriculum areas,” Barker said. ALVS hired faculty from both areas to teach adult learners who had been away from academia for a while.

“The idea was that -- free from the pressure of earning a grade, sometimes free from the pressure of being in a class with traditional learners that adults perceive as being a challenge -- we developed a program that reintroduced our student population to the curriculum they would see in college math and college English,” Barker said.

The program took place over four weeks during the summer with 14 students taking part.

Along with being refreshed into the curriculum of college level math and English, the students in the program experienced daily social engagement such as going to the campus rec center together.

“We’ve never really engaged with student population outside of the orientation process,” Barker said. “This allowed us, as

a services office, to engage with these participants every single day for four weeks so they could build a sense of community.”

Jenny Duong, the coordinator for the Elevate program, said she spoke with Barker about the need to serve adult learners both financially and academically, which lead the creation of the program.

“The purpose of it was to not only provide students with the academic remediation and preparedness, but also the social integration into the CSU community,” Duong said. “Elevate really recognizes the experience that adult learners bring and who they are as individuals.”

According to Duong, the program has had a large impact.

Due to the commitment of those involved in the program, Duong feels that the program has left a lasting impression on everyone.

“There was a lot of relationship building, confronting fears, overcoming challenges and learning at all levels,” Duong

said. “It is a program that recognizes them for who they are and what skills they bring and allows them to grow and develop as adult learners.”

According to Duong, the program truly supports and serves the adult learner population.

Marie Russell, the peer adviser for the program, said that what started out as a school support course soon became a very strong social support for the participants and created a very strong group of friends.

“They created a really strong tie with one another that gave them so much motivation and encouragement,” Russell said.

Russell said the students would help one another when the subject material was challenging or life would try to get one of them down.

Annamaria Meiser, one of the members of the program, said she expected the program to be a “cut and dried” set of courses where students would merely

be given information but soon learned that it was much more.

“It was very hands on and personable,” Meiser wrote in a statement to the Collegian.

“While centered around teaching math and English, the Elevate program really went beyond those subjects and focused more on building confidence in, and a sense of community among, their students.”

According to Barker, the program has been built into the ALVS budget to be run for the next three years and is expected to see significant growth.

“The wealth of knowledge ‘non-traditional’ students bring to institutions such as CSU can’t be matched and would be a shame to lose,” Mesier wrote. “Adult learners have initiative. They have life experiences and perspectives that, if put to good use, could really benefit CSU.” Austin Fleskes can be reached at news@collegian.com.

The Adult Learner and Veteran Services organization helps nontraditional students to adjust to, navigate, and feel confident getting an education on CSU’s campus.

Pentagon to convene panel on implementing President Trump’s ban on transgender personnel in U.S. military

By W.J. Hennigan

Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary James N. Mattis says the Pentagon won’t change its policy of allowing transgender people to serve in the U.S. military until he receives recommendations from a panel that is supposed to report back in February on the impact of a ban.

The panel will be drawn from the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, but its members have yet to be named. They will examine how the Pentagon can implement President Donald Trump’s directive banning transgender individuals from entering the armed forces.

Mattis’ statement Tuesday night came in response to Trump’s memo last Friday that directed Mattis, in consultation with secretary of Homeland Security, to submit a plan to him by Feb. 21. Trump has yet to appoint a new Homeland Security chief to replace John

Kelly, who became White House chief of staff.

“As directed, we will develop a study and implementation plan, which will contain the steps that will promote military readiness, lethality, and unit cohesion, with due regard for budgetary constraints and consistent with applicable law,” Mattis said.

He said the panel will be made up of people with “mature experience, most notably in combat and deployed operations, and seasoned judgment to this task.”

In the interim, currently serving transgender troops will remain in the armed forces under existing policy, he said.

That policy, which was begun

by President Barack Obama last year after a lengthy Pentagon review, placed protection of gender rights in the military on par with race, religion, color, sex and sexual orientation. The move was part of a broader initiative to bring the military in line with shifts with social

attitudes.

For the first time, transgender service members could serve openly, and several thousand people in the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard did so. The services

had to provide medical and training plans, and arrange full implementation by July 1, 2017.

Mattis had pushed that deadline back six months before Trump unexpectedly announced on Twitter on July 26 that he

planned to reverse Obama’s policy entirely, saying the military would neither accept nor allow transgender people to serve.

Like New Orleans, Houston faces heartbreak, resilience and recovery following Harvey storm

By Ann M. Simmons Los Angeles Times

Twelve years to the day after Hurricane Katrina made landfall in southeastern Louisiana, residents of New Orleans braced themselves Tuesday as Tropical Storm Harvey threatened to unleash its fury on the city.

With memories of Katrina still enduring the 1,500 people killed in Louisiana, the 200,000 structures damaged there was widespread worry that Harvey’s strong rains could lead to another sad and saturated saga. A heavy storm already overwhelmed New Orleans’ flawed pumping system in early August, causing many of the city’s streets to flood.

But New Orleans residents know the drill. Katrina forced them to develop a tacit skill-set that has allowed them to pick up, recover and move on. Houstonians could learn from this.

When the rain stops, the skies clear and world’s media turns its focus elsewhere, New Orleanians know what awaits Houston. There will be hardship and heartbreak, rejection and resignation, resilience and if New Orleans is a guide revival.

I witnessed this as a correspondent based in New Orleans for 14 months covering

the rebuilding of the city after Katrina.

For months, after what became known simply as “the storm,” the power supply would be zero or sporadic in many neighborhoods. Certain areas remained without potable water for weeks or under a boil-water alert.

Basic conveniences disappeared. There was no regular mail delivery. Local supermarkets, mom-and-pop corner stores, banks, churches and schools remained shuttered for weeks, if not months.

Shards of glass, metal debris and nails peppered neighborhood streets, making driving a feat of precision navigation. Hundreds of discarded flat tires piled up under bridges and freeway underpasses.

For weeks, the rancid smell of mold and sewage and death hung in the air in certain enclaves.

It seemed to cling to clothes, penetrate the pores and linger on the lips.

Resignation set in as residents realized they probably would never be able to reclaim what they once had. Anger and frustration erupted over the lethargic pace of New Orleans’ recovery and authorities’ failure to deliver promised assistance. Federal, state and city officials played the

blame game.

Thousands of mobile homes, meant to provide temporary housing for those made homeless, ended up stockpiled in Arkansas because of a bureaucratic hiccup.

Houston will need thousands of shelters for its internally displaced.

The slow pace of payouts provided through the “Road Home” program government grants to renovate and rebuild

storm-damaged homes also began to wear on victims of the storm.

Stress led to weight gain.

Residents would both joke about, and lament, having gained the “Katrina 15.”

Then came “Katrina cough.” A large number of people along the Louisiana and Mississippi coasts developed a condition that caused a sore throat, itchy eyes and other flu-like symptoms. Some doctors believed the allergies were linked to the mold and dust that permeated the atmosphere.

A year after Katrina, many hospitals in the New Orleans area remained closed. Medical specialists were among the waves of residents who evacuated the city, and many never returned.

A dearth of practitioners, such as counselors, led to friends and family becoming each other’s goto therapists. People just needed to talk it out.

Just saying “Katrina” seemed painful; it was reduced to the “K-word.” The K-word always came up in conversation, no matter the topic. Tears typically accompanied talk.

But the storm did not only spawn hardship and discontent.

It seeded solidarity. Neighbors created cleanup brigades. Some businesses offered discount construction supplies; some restaurants provided free meals.

Many New Orleans expats returned to help rebuild their hometown.

Katrina also meant an opportunity to start over and make some much-needed change. One-time gritty and unattractive older neighborhoods got a face-lift. Critics of New Orleans’ notoriously negligent indigent defense system saw an

opportunity to push for reform after Katrina exposed that an untold number of people arrested shortly before the storm had been left to languish behind bars without their day in court.

And local activists seized the moment to try to revamp the city’s failing public school system by leading a drive to attract new teachers and principals and pushing for shoddy school buildings to be suitably restored.

Examples of goodwill, unity and perseverance are already prevalent in Houston. Scores of volunteers have used their private boats to run rescue missions. Churches, mosques and synagogues have opened their doors to those in need regardless of faith. Television reports and social media are awash with images of strangers helping and hugging one another.

These images, along with vast stretches of dilapidated structures and muddy water, also brought to mind the New Orleans I lived in after the storm.

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner has been resolute about the future of his city.

“This storm will not break our spirit,” he tweeted Monday. “We are in this together and we will rebuild even greater together after #HurricaneHarvey.”

Ray Nagin, then mayor of New Orleans, had said as much. As the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina neared, Nagin was adamant that the Crescent City would rise again.

“New Orleans is coming back,” he told constituents, “whether you like it or not.”

Old Town smoking ban CSU monopolizes textbook market needs a compromise Spencer Reed @sbreed96

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.

The smoking ban imposed by the City of Fort Collins needs to be revised. The policy was originally put in place in October of 2003, but has since caused issues in the Old Town area.

The smoke-free ban has gone through progressive changes since being put in place fourteen years ago. In 2015 the policy changed from no smoking indoors, to encompassing any park in Fort Collins including all running trails and other natural areas. In 2016 the ban was given a larger territory and now includes parts of Old Town and city-approved events.

Issues related to the smoking policy largely rose when the ban grew to cover parts of Old Town,

OLD TOWN SMOKING BAN ■ The original Old Town smoking

ban was enacted in 2003 restricting smoking indoors ■ In 2015, the ban changed to banning smoking on running trails and other natural areas ■ In 2016, the ban again changed to include banning certain public areas and events in Old Town especially Old Town Square.

According to Delynn Coldiron, interim city clerk, business owners have been complaining about the encroaching smoke-free zones.

Some businesses fear that they may be at the short end of the stick when it comes to competing with establishments elsewhere in Fort Collins that are not affected by the ban. For example: there are no smoking restrictions in Mid-Town, and bar patrons may choose to spend their money there as opposed to in Old Town. Others are finding it difficult to send their workers on smoke breaks without wasting the time to get to an acceptable smoking area, only to waste more time getting back to the workplace.

Not only are businesses feeling uneasy about restricted smoking in Old Town, but so are

the surrounding neighborhoods.

Smokers who actually obey the nosmoking laws move outside of the marked zones and congregate in places where smoking was never an issue before. Not only that, but the immobility of the homeless in Old Town makes it difficult for them to follow smoking laws.

Those who choose to smoke within the banned zones run the risk of receiving up to a $1,000 fine and a mandatory court appearance; a punishment that is far too dramatic for lighting up a cigarette. Failure to appear at that court session could lead to arrest, which actually happened to two smokers who neglected to show up to their court dates.

Where can one smoke near downtown Fort Collins without risking a citation?

The border of the nonsmoking zone ends around Olive, Mason, Jefferson, and Mathews streets. Furthermore, smokers may light up in their own private residences and closed vehicles within the banned smoking zones.

Smoking related policies are not new in regards to the City of Fort Collins. In 2003 when the city passed its original smoking regulations, smoking was banned in establishments such as bars, restaurants, and any other indoor public space. However, one of the more notable restrictions was the ban on smoking within a 20-foot perimeter outside of any public entrance, window, or dining area.

Now, smoking is unlawful at all times in Old Town.

The wide understanding that cigarettes are unhealthy makes it seem more feasible to put a smoking ban in place. They not only affect the smoker’s health but as well as the people around them. Moreover, cigarette butts are religiously littered.

On the other hand, many businesses open late at night in Old Town have a large audience of smokers; which is why a compromise to the current smoking policy makes sense.

City officials have rumored about setting designated hours in place that would allow smokers to indulge. Officials are also scoping out specific zones that smoking would be allowed during those designated times, and are considering placing one directly in Old Town Square. It is compromise such as this that might levy some of the issues related to the smoking restrictions set in place by the City of Fort Collins.

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.

Buying textbooks and supplies can be stressful for any college student. If you are like me, you are familiar with the feeling in your gut when you look at the prices. Students all over this campus and country are hard pressed to spend big money on textbooks or are simply forced to forgo buying them at all.

According to NBC’s review of Bureau of Labor Statistics data, since 1977, the cost of textbooks has risen 1,041%. The College Board found that the average student at a four-year public college spends $1,200 on “books and supplies,” or $1,250 at a private university.

This study shows that students are captive consumers and will generally buy whatever text has been assigned to them. We need to change this by using more affordable resources.

Another survey, released in 2014 by the U.S. PIRG Education Fund, revealed that 65% of students have been forced to opt out of buying a college textbook due to high prices. Of those students who reported opting out, 94% say they suffered academically.

For low-income students who are already struggling to stay in school, expensive textbooks makes pursuit of higher education practically unattainable. Without proper class resources, disadvantaged students become more disadvantaged as they fall behind in classes.

Textbooks are not sold in a free market, which means they do not have to compete with one another based on price, but quality. It is no longer uncommon to spend $300 or more on one textbook.

This allows publishers and middleman suppliers, like CSU’s bookstore, to make a profit off students. With tuition and student fees already so high, additional required spending is ridiculous.

CSU’s bookstore does not offer many accommodations to students who cannot afford the high cost of textbooks. It was only $5 dollars cheaper to rent my $60-dollar book

from the school. In my and other student’s personal experiences, the textbook buybacks average is less than 10% of the original cost. Price and ethics around the textbook industry are strongly up for debate, as well as the practice of professors listing their own books as required text.

Universities and publishers are benefiting from skyrocketing prices. By requiring students to have the newest editions of textbooks— editions that are difficult to find used or from outside sellers—they are creating a high chain of supply and demand. When students can only find a required textbook brand new in the bookstore, that is where they will buy it.

If a professor requires their own textbook be used, ethics are added to the equation. This is a monopoly built on taking advantage of students.

required materials are other factors to be considered. We’ve all had a class that required a textbook which was hardly ever used, or even opened at all. It is the responsibility of our professors to determine whether a textbook is necessary for class and advancing learning.

Students don’t need to buy a textbook when the professor already provides essential information. Textbooks should be suggested, not required.

Several professors have voiced concerns about the price of textbooks. Mike Humphrey, a journalism professor and Forbes contributor says,“textbooks are priced in a way that does not favor the students,” Like Professor Humphrey, some teachers are starting to provide all required materials to students online, or opt to use an older edition of a textbook.

The cost of textbooks has risen 1,041% from 1977-2015 COLLEGIAN FILE PHOTO

Companies and online market places like Amazon and Chegg.com are creating an open textbook-source market by helping students save money on new, used, electronic, and discounted textbooks. This still doesn’t get rid of the fact that required textbooks often cannot be found in the correct issue on these websites depending on the professors preference.

While the publishers do determine how much it cost to produce a textbook, our Universities have the capability to provide more for their students and start the transition to alternate resources or more affordable materials. Publishers claim the newest editions are higher in quality and new information.

This is not always true, but in some classes it is still required to have the newest version.

Most new editions come out about every 3 years, so usually they are not significantly different. Plus, with internet access and online resources, finding updated information is simple.

Price and usage of our

There are options to check out a textbook in the library, which allows students to rent a textbook for up to 2 hours at a time. But, as one CSU political science professor (who wished to remain anonymous) stated in class, they could only provide 2 textbooks to the library for checkout. In a class of 100 plus students, just one section out of 3, that doesn’t always mean textbooks will be available.

Professors and universities need to introduce stricter policies around textbooks and materials that are in the best interest of students.

The bottom line is that the University functions as a business; they make money off of students’ backs. In return, we must start demanding more cost-efficient options from our school, because for some students it is not only necessary but extremely overdue. We must continue to question the ethics of monopolizing textbooks to ensure our students are being educated equally.

The eyes of Texas are upon you, Congress

By Patricia Murphy CQ-Roll Call

August 2017 will not be remembered in many people’s minds as a great one for the United States. We edged too close to conflict with a madman in North Korea. Marches over monuments in Virginia devolved into murder. Ugly debates about what America used to be made too many people ask themselves what this country has become.

It’s hard to believe, then, that a devastating hurricane at the end of the month, a once-in-a-generation catastrophe in Texas, could be a catalyst to remind us who we are and what America remains today, but it has. The images coming out of Hurricane Harvey’s path have been heartbreaking and inspiring every day Americans have transformed themselves into helpers and heroes, rescuing strangers stranded in the rushing, suffocating floods.

There was Joshua Lincoln and the Cajun Navy, mostly survivors of Hurricane Katrina, who left their jobs and brought their boats to Houston to pluck people out of the rising flood waters. Josh was asked on CNN why he was doing it, pulling bodies from the water, and he explained, “In my life, I’ve been through a lot of storms, too.”

More volunteers came on jet skis and surfboards, paddleboards and fan boats, a makeshift armada going door to door, helping to rescue anyone that first responders did not

know about or simply couldn’t get to. The first responders had their own miraculous rescues and stories, too There were the FEMA staff in cargo trucks who rescued more than 80 senior citizens, their medical charts tied around their necks in plastic bags. There was the image of the sheriff who had fallen asleep sitting up straight, still in his waders, after a 20-hour day of responding to calls for help.

Businesses did what they could, as well. The Houston Chronicle made its website free, on what must have been its highest days of traffic in history, to give people access to lifesaving evacuation instructions. Anheuser Busch stopped brewing beer in order to fill their cans with water to send to storm victims.

“No one is asking whether you’re a Democrat or Republican,” Mayor Sylvester Turner of Houston told CNN. “No one is asking whether you are here legally or illegally. If you are in need in this city, we band together, work together, to get you the assistance you need to get you back on your feet.”

It has all reminded me of something Secretary of Defense James Mattis said to a group of young American soldiers and sailors last week during his trip to the Middle East. “We as Americans have two powers the power of inspiration and the power of intimidation,” he said. He told them that the military is the power

of intimidation, but that the spirit of the country itself holds the power to inspire others all across the globe.

“You just hold the line until our country gets back to respecting each other and showing it,” he told them. “Take care of each other, OK?” If anyone knows what power looks like, it’s a retired fourstar general who goes by “Mad Dog.” I have to think Mad Dog saw the power of inspiration in Houston this week.

It also has to be said that President Trump, not exactly known as a voice of calm reassurance in a crisis, has done what we need a president to do in these moments. He has let Houston know that it is not alone and will not be forgotten. Even Vice President Mike Pence, who once argued against a massive aide package for Hurricane Katrina recovery because it was a “catastrophe of debt,” assured the state of Texas that between the administration and Congress, “We’ll have the resources that we need” to help the region recover.

And that brings the baton in this relay to Congress. In a month that was already heavy with must-do items on the calendar raising the debt ceiling, avoiding a government shutdown, reauthorizing CHIP, extending flood insurance and funding nearly the entire federal government the need now comes for Congress to pass a disaster funding bill.

It should be the easiest thing Congress does this year.

But these days in Washington, the House and Senate seem to make even the easy things look hard. Will there be calls for spending offsets? Riders on the bill?

We’re already hearing the charges of hypocrisy against Sen. Ted Cruz and some of his fellow Texans, who are asking for quick relief now but were not so eager to give it when New York and New Jersey were battered by Hurricane Sandy and Cruz and others voted no.

In Houston, locals are wondering if federal help will come quickly, or whether there will be payback for Cruz’s votes when others needed help.

When members of Congress return to Washington next week, they will have a chance to act quickly to make sure that Texans and Louisianans have the resources they need to at least begin to put their lives back together.

But is it too much to also hope that Congress follows the examples of the everyday heroes we saw this week and change the way they are doing business in the nation’s capital? Can they for once rise above the bad habits, the ugly precedents and the paralyzing dysfunction and finally deserve the people they lead?

Work together, Congress.

Solve these problems. Be at least as good as the people you represent. Inspire us.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A letter regarding sportsmanship from ASCSU President and Vice President

By Guest Author Dear students: This weekend, Colorado State University will continue what I hope to be a fantastic football season by playing against our chief rival, the Colorado Buffaloes, at the Rocky Mountain Showdown.

The Rocky Mountain Showdown is a longstanding spirited and intense faceoff between

two fantastic universities full of proud students. The game kicks off at 6 p.m. and is the 17th to be played at Mile High.

While fierce competition, to an extent, is healthy and encourages school pride, it is crucial that we remember what we represent as we head down to Denver on Friday.

Whether it’s in Fort Collins, Denver, Boulder or anywhere else, we should reflect our pride

in being CSU Rams through our conduct and through our words.

Our schools have an enduring rivalry, but together we represent the best of our beautiful state of Colorado as students.

When our football teams face off on Friday night, let’s respectfully (and loudly) demonstrate our school pride with sportsmanship and class.

Let’s show what being “proud to be” means to us all.

Let’s be good sports. Let’s be responsible, safe, and respectful.

Let’s abide by the CSU Principles of Community, and let’s remember: Rams ALWAYS take care of Rams.

We overcame Oregon State, we “grilled the Buffs,” and now let’s dominate at the Showdown.

GO RAMS! Josh Silva and Michael Wells, ASCSU President and Vice President

FOOTBALL

Rams entering Rocky Mountain Showdown with confidence 3-star

working towards the greater goals of the season.

“We kind of feel ourselves Justin right now,” Hicks said. “We feel Michael very confident. We just knocked @JustinTMichael off a PAC-12 team, so I feel like we can beat CU. I feel like everybody else believes we can beat CU, so why not us?”

Along with the benefit of Last year’s Rocky Mountain Showdown could only be already having gotten some of described as embarrassing for the cobwebs out by playing and winning a game, CSU is heading Colorado State football.

After getting trounced 44-7 into the 2017 RMS with a differin a game where the Rams did ent level of swagger. That confinot record a first down until the dence is warranted.

During the second half of second quarter and ultimately resulted in the benching of last season, CSU was one one of starting quarterback Nick Ste- the most explosive and efficient vens, it is safe to say the 2016 offenses in the country. Dating RMS was one of worst perfor- back to the the last two games of mances by this program in re- 2016, the Rams have now scored 50+ points in three straight cent memory.

“It left a bad taste in my games and could not look any different from the team that got mouth,” Jamal Hicks said.

Hicks, who made his colle- thumped in Denver last season.

On top of that, while the giate debut as a true freshman in last year’s game, is one of the performance was one of the many players looking forward worst of Stevens’ career, there were plenty of other factors for to a chance at redemption.

Throughout practice this why the 2016 game resulted in week, one of the common a 37-point blowout. None more themes on both sides of the ball than the experience gap.

“Last year we were really was the importance of having a better showing against their in- young,” Hicks said. “I feel like we have a better understanding state rival.

The team got on the right of what the coaches expect from track by taking care of business us. The team chemistry on deagainst Oregon State last Sat- fense is way different than last urday. Now, Friday’s matchup year. I feel like everybody bonds with CU offers a chance for the more. We trust each other more green and gold to exercise the than we did last year.”

Contrarily, Colorado was demons of 2016 and continue

one of the most experienced teams in the nation in 2016.

Highlighted by then-senior quarterback Sefo Liufau and one of the best defensive secondaries in all of college football, CU was a team that had grown together after three years of losing and the Rams were the first of many opponents to feel their wrath.

2017 is a different situation.

On offense, CSU is littered with veteran options under center, in the backfield and in the receiving corps. The biggest difference is on defense though, where CSU returned eight starters. That experience was evident in the victory over Oregon State.

When the Beavers came out in the first half and quickly put points on the board, primarily with explosive plays, CSU could have easily folded and let the Beavers dominate them offensively. Instead, they rallied and put together a dominant second half performance.

In the first quarter, OSU quarterback Jake Luton was able to connect with tight end Timmy Hernandez for a 39yard touchdown. Then early in the second, running back Ryan Nall was able to bust through the heart of the CSU defense with a 75-yard touchdown run.

From that point on, the CSU defense only gave up one more touchdown in the game and it came after Olabisi Johnson

muffed a punt, which resulted in the Beavers getting the ball on the CSU 23-yard line.

What was particularly impressive about the Rams defensive effort in the game was their dominance in the turnover margin (+4). According to Hicks, this was the biggest factor in the win, highlighted by linebacker Tre Thomas’ picksix in the third quarter.

That display of mental toughness and bend-don’tbreak mentality is what may ultimately be the biggest factor in the RMS this year. With both teams expected to light up the scoreboard on offense, the game could very well come down to a single impact play or two.

If Colorado puts points on the board, the defense cannot lose focus or stop competing. As the Rams displayed in their victory over OSU, much can happen in the course of an entire game.

Ultimately, this is a game that most will not give the Rams a chance to win, but this is very much a game that is up for grabs. CSU has the talent and speed on both sides of the ball to compete with the Buffs.

If they do not beat themselves, the Rams should compete from start to finish.

player picks the Rams

By Justin Michael @JustinTMichael

Colorado State football picked up a verbal commitment from 3-star inside linebacker Gerald Nathan Jr. on Tuesday. Nathan is CSU’s 17th commitment of the 2018 recruiting cycle and chose the Rams over a variety of Division 1 programs, including Iowa State, Coastal Carolina, East Carolina and Western Kentucky.

The Charlotte, NC. native announced his decision on Twitter.

“Blessed and honored to have had the opportunity to choose between top D1 schools in the nation! After a lot of praying and talking with my family and coach; I would like to announce that I have committed to Colorado State University!”

With Nathan’s commitment, CSU now has verbal commitments from eight different states. Nathan is the second linebacker that the Rams have been able to sway this month. On Aug. 21, the Rams received a verbal commitment from 2-star linebacker James Thomas (California).

SOCCER

Colorado State women’s soccer prepares for two unfamiliar opponents

By Christian Hedrick @ChristianHCSU

Following a bye week, the Colorado State women’s soccer team is back in action this weekend with a pair of games against two unfamiliar opponents in New Mexico State and New Hampshire.

The Rams (0-2-1) opened the 2017 season with three games decided by one goal or less against three instate rivals. After their most recent game versus Northern Colorado, the Rams took advantage of an eight-day break to rest and prepare for the next slate of opponents.

“These first three games were a battle,” head coach Bill Hempen said following last week’s game against UNC. “You don’t get too many eight days off, so you reflect, you heal, you scrape this one off and the next

game awaits.”

Beyond preparing for the games ahead, Hempen said the break also allowed him and his staff to keep players focused and push the team’s core values.

“We’ve had a pretty good week of training,” Hempen said. “We’ve set out to build our core values and we’ve set out to maintain our process goals to get to our destination goals.

We’ve been doing everything as a staff to be as focused on that and not about game results in true belief that if we focus on that, other things will follow.”

In the first game following the break, the Rams face New Mexico State on Friday at 1 p.m.

NMSU is off to a strong start to the 2017 season, racking up 12 goals and only allowing one through five games. The Aggies are not short on confidence following an 8-0 victory over

Alcorn State in their last game.

Friday’s game will be the first time the two programs have ever faced off, but Hempen is aware of NMSU’s abilities.

“We’re not at all familiar with them, but I know New Mexico State recently got a big win over their in-state rival, New Mexico, a program that we’ve never beaten,” Hempen said.

On Sunday afternoon, CSU will turn its attention to New Hampshire (3-1-0).

UNH is led by America East Player of the Week Brooke Murphy. The senior forward has already recorded 7 points and 20 shots on the season.

Like New Mexico State, CSU hasn’t faced New Hampshire in program history. Despite the unfamiliarity, Hempen thinks playing against new opponents can be a good thing for his team.

“It’s good that we don’t know anything about them,” Hempen said. “ We don’t have a history, so maybe we can create some histories.”

Along with making history, playing against new teams will also allow the Rams to focus on themselves, rather than getting caught up in what the opponent will do.

“If you can give the team a few things to remember about the opponent, that’s about all you can ask,” Hempen said.

“We one hundred percent have to take care of our own game, as opposed to what our opponent is going to do.”

Friday’s game will be the first time the Rams have played at home since they faced Colorado in the season opening match. The Rams are excited to be back at the CSU Soccer Field, a place they proudly call home.

“I think it’s awesome to be able to call this our home,” Rams’ forward Kaija Ornes said after the game against Colorado. “We are here to stay.

We are not just any team, we are here, we’ve arrived and we are ready to go.”

Hempen described the first three games of the season against in-state opponents as battles. Even though the Rams are hosting teams from out of town this weekend, one can expect these games to be just as intense.

“When I’m recruiting I tell all the freshmen to pick your biggest rival and play them 20 times in two months,” Hempen said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s New Hampshire, New Mexico State, CU or DU. It doesn’t matter. They’re all battles.”

NATIONAL

Buffs’ Oliver looking forward Hold the door! to matchup with CSU’s Gallup Denver players insist championship window still open

By Brian Howell Daily Camera

Colorado cornerback Isaiah Oliver has been excited all offseason about the prospect of facing top-notch receivers every week.

For the first time in his career, the junior is the top corner for the Buffaloes, which means he will often get matched up against the opposition’s No. 1 receiver.

Oliver is going to get tested right away, as he’s likely to see a lot of Colorado State’s Michael Gallup in the season opener on Friday at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver.

“He’s a great athlete,” Oliver said Monday. “He’s a big receiver, a lot of speed. It’s going to be a great challenge.

It’s going to be a lot of fun.

Watching him in the Oregon State game, I thought he played really well.”

The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Gallup caught 76 passes for 1,272 yard and 14 touchdowns last season for the Rams. He began this season with 11 catches for 134 yards in a 5827 win against Oregon State on Saturday.

Just how much Oliver, who is 6-1, 190 pounds, lines up against Gallup remains to be seen.

CU has not typically moved

its corners to match up with specific receivers. Of course, that was a lot easier a year ago with two NFL-caliber corners in Chidobe Awuzie and Ahkello Witherspoon. The Buffs had confidence in both of them against anybody.

Coming into this year, Oliver is the only scholarship corner on the roster with any Division I experience, and new secondary coach ShaDon Brown may rely on him to lock down the top receiver.

“If they’ve got a great receiver, I’m just going to tell Isaiah to go play him because he can,” Brown said at the start of preseason camp. “I’ll take him nine out of 10 times. If he’s covering the best receiver, he’s going to win nine of those.”

On Monday, head coach Mike MacIntyre said the matchup with certain teams will determine whether Oliver sticks with the best receiver or not, but doesn’t sound like he’d be hesitant to have Oliver follow a receiver like Gallup.

“He’s off the charts bright, academically and football wise,” MacIntyre said. “We can change in the middle of a game with him and be able to flip-flop sides. We do that in practice all the time, so none of our secondary, they don’t have to be one side or the other. I’ve always trained DBs like that.”

If Oliver is to line up against Gallup all night Friday, that versatility will help.

“They do a good job of doing different concepts to be able to get him the ball, so it’s something we’re preparing for and it should be a great game,” Oliver said.

Although he was the No. 3 corner a year ago, behind Awuzie and Witherspoon, Oliver has plenty of experience covering top receivers. Last year, he was lined up at times against Washington State’s Gabe Marks, Washington’s Dante Pettis and USC’s JuJu Smith, among others.

Now, he’ll be taking on the top receivers regularly, and he’s ready for the challenge.

“It’s just translating into a leader,” he said. “Last year we had three seniors in the secondary and they were the leaders of the secondary, leaders of the defense. Now with those guys gone, we’re looking for other guys to step up. Me, Afolabi (Laguda), Ryan Moeller, guys like that are going to have to lead the defense.

That’s the biggest change.

“Everything else, we’re still playing the same defense, still playing the same game.”

By conventional NFL standards, the championship door has shut on the Broncos.

Fortunately for fans, this team under John Elway hasn’t fit any norms.

“The door is always open,” receiver Emmanuel Sanders said. “Why would it not be open?”

Well, here’s why.

Most of the top runs for teams in league history have come with continuity at quarterback and coach.

Lombardi-Starr.

NollBradshaw.

Walsh-Montana.

Belichick-Brady. It’s always been a package deal. The exception has been the rare elite coach who succeeded with various quarterbacks - Joe Gibbs and Bill Parcells come to mind. Or the quarterbacks who could make it work with various coaches - Troy Aikman and the Indianapolis version of Peyton Manning are examples.

This continuity hasn’t insulated teams from the occasional Super Bowl hangover. Nothing has. Heavy are the fingers that wear those heavy rings. But the packaging of quarterback and coach has sure come in handy for a Year 3 bounce-back. Of the 17 teams that missed the playoffs after appearing in a Super Bowl between 1990 and 2015, 82 percent that kept their quarterback and coach intact returned to the postseason in that third year. Half of the teams that retained the quarterback but not the coach were again in the tournament, and 33 percent who lost the quarterback but kept the coach returned.

In the Broncos’ category teams that lost both coach and quarterback - only the Oakland Raiders stand as an example.

Not only did Oakland fail to bounce back without coach Bill Callahan and quarterback Rich Gannon, but they spiraled into a 13-year playoff drought.

So, judging by those standards, the door has shut on the Broncos and anything they achieve at this point wouldn’t be a continuation of their past run but the opening of a new chapter. But that’s kind of how

it’s been for a while. The way Elway has approached his job hasn’t been to prop open a window of opportunity so much as seek another to climb through.

Remember, Elway’s first playoff run as an executive came on the strength of spectacular special teams during the Tim Tebow Year. Matt Prater made 3 of 4 kicks from 50-plus yards as the team won five games decided by three or fewer points.

Even Jesus, as played by Jason Sudeikis in a “Saturday Night Live” sketch aimed at Tebow, said: “Matt Prater, I pray to you, brother.”

Special teams may have been good enough for a playoff run, but adding Manning and building one of the all-time great offenses was worth a Super Bowl berth two years later.

It was only after switching directions again and adding Aqib Talib and DeMarcus Ware that the Broncos leapt the next hurdle and won a title by capturing Super Bowl 50.

So, if the league hopes to shut the door on the Broncos it will find itself playing WhackA-Mole because it hasn’t come through the same spot twice.

Maybe the credit needs to go beyond Elway and through ownership, as the franchise has enjoyed more Super Bowl appearances (seven) than losing seasons (five) under Pat Bowlen’s watch.

“We feel like as long we’ve got our defense intact, we feel like we can win every game,” cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. “With the quarterbacks, Trev(or Siemian) and Paxton (Lynch), we can win with these guys.”

The Broncos know a thing or two about opening the door when opportunity knocks. For that reason, don’t close out any possibilities.

“We’ve still got a tight defense,” Sanders said. “We’ve still got players that want to win a championship. That’s the mindset around here. That’s not going to change, ever, as long as I’m here. The window is always going to be open.”

COLLEGE NIGHT IS TONIGHT AT CHIPPERS!

ARTS & CULTURE Thursday, August 31, 2017

AGT >> from page 1 Millions watch her perform on "America's Got Talent," and last weekend, thousands gathered to see her perform the National Anthem at the opening day of the new on-campus stadium.

Despite having no hearing ability, Mandy Harvey is currently a semi-finalist on "America's Got Talent," inspiring millions with her resilience.

Harvey began studying music education at Colorado State University in 2006. She left that same year after her partial hearing loss became complete.

“It had been my dream to be a choir director for college level music,” Harvey said. “I never in a million years saw myself performing.”

Harvey began singing at four years old. Her childhood-voicecoach and former Assistant Professor of Music and Voice at CSU, Cynthia Vaughn, remembers a time when a high school-aged Harvey would dedicate her time to helping others.

“As a teen, Mandy worked at church as a janitor, and she would save up money to help other kids go to church camp,” Vaughn said. “She did it anonymously.”

Vaughn said Harvey was always a hard worker.

“She was very musical and learned music ... quicker than any other student I have had ... she had an uncanny memory for songs and lyrics,” Vaughn said.

Harvey’s time with Vaughn resulted in her participation in multiple choirs in high school, but it wasn’t just her own musical experience that she was concerned with; Harvey also student-directed a choir for freshman girls.

Harvey came to CSU in 2006 to join the music program, and everything began to change.

Harvey suffers from a connective tissue disorder that required several surgeries during her childhood. By the time Harvey was 18, she had entirely lost her hearing due to the degradation of her nerves.

There was no physical pain, but as to whether it caused any emotional pain, Harvey had only one word: “Absolutely.”

It goes without saying that Harvey struggled with her hearing loss. Vaughn said Harvey would hide her impairment by utilizing expert lip-reading.

Following her hearing loss, Harvey was forced to rediscover herself.

“I initially didn’t focus on music or anything,” Harvey said.

“I just wanted to figure out how

to breathe again, so I focused on American Sign Language to have a language to communicate.”

Harvey said ASL gave her a great deal of confidence after her hearing loss because she was able to make friends within the deaf community.

“They got me to say ‘yes’ again,” Harvey said.

Harvey said she found it difficult to return to music, and she lost touch with Vaughn because she so heavily associated her with the music in her life.

Approximately a year later, Harvey reached out to Vaughn to begin voice lessons again.

Vaughn remembers being shocked by Harvey’s incredible resilience and talent.

“At her first lesson, I played a chord on the piano, and I was absolutely stunned when she sang a note in that chord,” Vaughn said. “I remember I asked, ‘how did you do that?’ She said, ‘I don’t know. I just want to sing.’ So, we did.”

Harvey spent a great deal of time—nearly ten years now—becoming “very sensitive to vibrations and creating strategies to be able to perform.”

In videos of her performing, it isn’t uncommon to see Harvey without shoes on, as she uses vibrations from instruments to help her keep time.

With that, Harvey threw

herself back into the music game and eventually decided to audition for “America’s Got Talent.”

Her audition resulted in a golden buzzer from Simon Cowell—notorious for his strict criticism - and it received nearly 23 million views on YouTube.

“Losing my hearing was my biggest fear, and it happened,” Harvey said. “So, performing in front people wasn’t so scary anymore.”

Now, Harvey is working hard with the help of her tour manager, Laurie Green. Green only recently met Harvey, but she said

that from the beginning, Harvey was noticeable warm.

“She’s incredibly authentic,” Green said. “She’s singing for everybody that’s listening, and there’s something that’s honest and heartwarming about that.”

This weekend, Harvey returned to CSU for the first time since her days as a student. She described the homecoming as “an emotional experience.”

“My dreams died here,” Harvey said. “But I’m excited that I’m being embraced back in.”

Peace, Love and Little Donuts brings novelty to Fort Collins

By Marena Winchell @mareenaaaa_

With the slogan “Feed your inner hippie,” Peace, Love, and Little Donuts offers an endless combination of doughnuts to the residents in the Fort Collins area.

From the music to the overall ambiance, the shop encompasses a 1970s atmosphere.

“I work here because it’s fun, just doughnuts and happiness,” said Tana Schneider, an employee at Peace, Love and Little Donuts. “The morning and weekends is when we see the most business. If I could describe this shop in two words it would be ‘happy carbs.’”

The doughnuts at Peace, Love, and Little Donuts are made from cake batter, which gives it a denser texture, Schneider said.

“The restaurant’s name gives away that the doughnuts are miniature sized, but they do pack a punch,” said Megan Oldham, a junior human development and family studies major at Colorado State University. “It was my first time eating here, and I was so taken back by how cute the doughnuts were and how themed the doughnut shop was. As a person who typically does not like doughnuts I thought I would give Peace, Love and Little Donuts a try because I have heard a lot of hype about it.”

Within the wide variety of donuts, they are divided into

three different categories, which gives customers the option of choosing between Groovy, Far Out and Funkadelic.

The Groovy selection includes cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar and honey glazed.

The inside of Peace, Love and Little Donuts has a 1970s aesthetic.

The Far Out portion incorporates different types of frosted donuts like chocolate, vanilla and mocha.

The Funkadelic section has

from 90 cents to $1.45 each. Customers have the option to buy half-dozen or dozen packs.

Peace, Love and Little Donuts finds a way to incorporate special events with specialty doughnuts.

They have had a CSU doughnut that shows some Ram Pride and an eclipse 2017 doughnut.

“I’m crazy for the cinnamon roll doughnut,” said Thomas

Monar, an employee at the doughnut shop. “I have had four of those doughnuts today. It is a blessing and a curse to work here because you can have (doughnuts) at anytime. I personally also like how into charity we are here. Around three days a week we do some type of charity-type deal, and pass out free doughnuts.”

The shop also has Glu-

ten-Friendly Monday, when the first batch of the day is gluten free.

This groovy spot has made its mark on Fort Collins by being the first franchise in the state of Colorado.

Beer improves Fort Collins culture, community CULTURE & COMMUNITY

By Mir-Yashar Seyedbagheri @dudesosad

The hills are alive with the sound of ... beer drinking. Beer has long been a staple of Fort Collins. With an array of breweries in the area, including New Belgium, Odells and Funkwerks, and events like this weekend’s Tour de Fat, the impact on the community and students is huge.

In terms of the culture’s immediate impact, many students have noted that we are surrounded by breweries. However, students also cited the particular ambiance that the beer culture fosters, contributing to the city’s identity.

“It brings a creative and laid back vibe,” said Heather Gill, a fifth-year zoology major at Colorado State University, noting the array of breweries, with their own particular styles.

Beer is good for Fort Collins

because of the positive economic benefits and the CSU brewing majors’ easy access to other beer entrepreneurs, Gill said.

With the wide array of beers in Fort Collins, beer serves as a particular point of pride, according to Shannon McPherson, a senior computer science major at CSU.

RELATED EVENT ■ Tour De Fat Fort Collins

Sept. 2 from 3pm-9pm

“Everyone has a favorite,” McPherson said.

According to her, the beer culture in Fort Collins fosters community and commonality.

“This is the first place that I lived that has such a strong beer culture,” McPherson said.

The culture of beer also has a strong impact on the students.

This impact manifests itself in

many different ways. Students cited the brewing major at CSU as one of the most immediate impacts. The beer culture also shapes student interactions and the social scene, according to Jennifer Wood, a junior sociology major at CSU. “It becomes a topic of conversation,” she said, noting that the culture has made beer more “acceptable.”

Beer is a “big social thing that brings people together,” said Shannon Renville, a sophomore international studies major at CSU. According to Adam Deakin, a senior majoring in agriculture business/real estate at CSU, the beer in Fort Collins offers an opportunity for “laid back” socializing, as opposed to bouts of PBR-induced drunkenness, in large part due to the expensiveness of local microbrews.

While the majority of the opinions expressed about the

beer scene were positive, there were some issues of concern as well.

“I wonder how many breweries Fort Collins can take on,” Deakin said, noting the possibility of cannibalization as breweries continued to open in Fort Collins.

With the variety of beers comes a myriad of tastes, students had their own unique sensibilities that ran the gamut.

Wood, a fan of Odells IPA noted that it is “just an easy go-to” and “smooth.” Gill, a Funkwerks aficionado, cited her fondness for fruit beers. Deakin was fond of Odells Easy Street, noting that it is a “lighter beer.” Whatever the taste, there seemed to be something for everyone.

In Fort Collins, beer is more than the simple act of drinking. When one thinks of beer drinking, one might imagine bar fights and overturned jukeboxes, but in Fort Collins beer takes

on a new form entirely. Beer brings people together, fosters community and offers possibilities for exploration and innovation. In an era of polarization and conflict and alienation, that speaks volumes.

‘Birth of the Dragon’ fails to depict reality

By Ryan Greene

@Ryangre75057034

“Kung Fu is more powerful than an atomic bomb. Kung Fu is life, and life always beats death.”

This line is spoken by Wong Jack Man, played by Lu Xia, a legendary martial artist who battles Bruce Lee, played by Philip Ng, in “Birth of the Dragon.”

Sadly, the film offers only a cursory portrayal of its two most interesting characters.

Instead, viewers are treated to Steve McKree, played by Billy Magnussen, a supposed friend and student of Lee. Aside from being entirely fictitious, McKree’s character is sure to garner director George Nolfi some not entirely unfounded accusations of whitewashing. McKree’s story arc barely needs explanation for anyone who has seen a `80s or early `90s action movie featuring Asia in any way: he meets a

Chinese woman whom a gang has forced into slavery. The two fall in love. McKree decides he must save her.

Should regurgitating this tired plot count as intellectual property theft?

Any historical film marketing itself as “based on a true story” should make one question the trustworthiness of events portrayed. However, even the real fight between Lee and Wong remains shrouded in hearsay. The fight was never recorded; there were only a handful of witnesses, with each giving varied accounts of who won.

Wong, a Hong Kong native who taught Tai Chi Chuan and Northern Shaolin fighting styles in San Francisco for 45 years, denied that he challenged Lee for teaching racially diverse students. Lee’s wife and daughter, maintain that Wong viewed Lee as a petulant upstart and sought

to admonish him for teaching non-Chinese. The exact truth behind Wong’s motives remains uncertain.

‘BIRTH OF THE DRAGON’ ■ Genre:

Action & Adventure, Drama

■ Runtime:

91 minutes ■ Starring Lu Xia, Philip Ng, Billy Magnussen The film eschews both accounts, positing that Wong disapproved of teaching whites.

That is, until the wonderfully dull McKree shows him that white guys are not all bad. The point is, it is real dreck.

Lee’s daughter also claims that it was not Lee’s great respect for Wong that led him to invent Jeet Kune Do, or the art of the

intercepting fist, as “Dragon’s” narrative suggests.

Undisputed is the fact that Lee taught women and men of varying ethnicities. In the 1960s, his attitude toward skin color flew in the face of traditions in both China and the U.S. Indeed, Lee’s indifference to racial barriers would have been a more interesting focal point for Nolfi’s film, as opposed to a shoehorned romance.

The real Lee married his wife, a white woman, in 1964.

The U.S. Supreme Court legalized interracial marriage three years later. Lee transcended racial taboos of his time, in teaching, in love and in life. Why Nolfi chose to sideline this aspect of his main character is baffling.

Choosing a single greatest tragedy among the milieu of distasteful choices this film makes is difficult, but the fight choreography proves a

likely candidate. Advertising surrounding the film promised one thing: the match between Lee and Wong. After sitting through an hour of boilerplate story featuring McKree’s uncompelling romance, the two masters finally square off.

The result is a jumbled, poorly edited mess of flailing limbs.

Camera angles change every few seconds, and the showdown consequently feels like a teaser trailer rather than the main event.

Should you see it? No. If you are searching for a welledited portrayal of Lee’s fight with Wong, watch the documentary “I am Bruce Lee.” Although Lu Xia and Philip Ng portray compelling characters with relatively scant lines of dialogue, it cannot be said that they portray Lee and Wong as they truly were. The reality, in this case, is more inspiring than fiction.

Stadium Sessions showcases local music, community involvement

By James Wyatt @jameswill_I_am

Popular artists like Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones performed at Hughe’s Stadium. With a new wave of stadium-goers, Stadium Sessions aims to bring live music to the new on-campus stadium.

Stadium Sessions is a series of concerts will be held across three different stages on campus during the weekend of every home game.

Last weekend, during the first Stadium Sessions, Flobots and Kind Dub played on the west lawn of campus after Gasoline Lollipops played Friday in the Iris & Michael Smith Alumni Center.

According to Tom Milligan, vice president of external relations at CSU, it was an idea CSU, the Bohemian Foundation and the Music District had been cooking up for over a year.

“It was really about creating something that was uniquely Fort Collins, and we knew that when it comes to this city, it has to have live music,” Milligan said. “We really wanted to have one of the best music festivals in the state every home game weekend. We have great national recording artists, and the best part is that people can see them on campus.”

While CSU has hosted live music before football games in years past, Milligan believes that these performances missed a large community aspect with so many students and alumni away

from campus.

“Something was missing when everyone was out at Hughes Stadium,” Milligan said.

“With the on campus stadium, we really wanted to make something unique and bring everyone back here.”

Jesse Elliott, director of the Music District, said Stadium Sessions embodies a way that community members can connect not only with the University but with each other.

“When this idea first came up, I thought it was smart move to get folks around town connected and involved with some local and national music before heading to the game,” Elliott said. “I think it’s a really good time, and live music is great for building community.”

It’s the type of community that Elliott regularly sees in the interactions that take place at the Music District as the organization is focused on providing an environment for learning and supporting community members in their artistic endeavors.

“We have professional musicians come over to the district but we also have amateurs in the best sense of the word who are just lovers of music and want to learn more,” Elliott said. “We really want to be an outlet for creative and artistic expression for the community. We hope to see more and more CSU students and staff.”

For , a junior journalism and communications major, community was a big aspect of witnessing game zero at the new stadium and attending the Flobots concert on her way to the game.

“They were really rocking it,” Vann said. “I thought they were playing amazing.”

Vann said a sense of community was present on game day last weekend.

“The energy level was off the charts,” said Vann. “There was just always something to do, and everyone was so nice. We saw people passing out waters from their own coolers even.”

When it comes to Stadium Sessions as a whole, Vann is excited for the fact that so many Colorado bands will be featured during this year’s football schedule.

“I really like how proud Fort Collins is of its local music and just Colorado music as a whole,” Vann said. “I think that’s what we do here, advocate for each other.”

Bands like Slow Caves, Patti Fiasco and Danielle Ate the Sandwich have been announced as performing acts this year, but this is subject to change. You can view the most recent lineup information at stadiumsessions.colostate. edu.
