Led by the senior duo of quarterback Nick Stevens and wide receiver Michael Gallup, Colorado State football (5-2) came out under the lights and defeated Nevada (1-6) 44-42 in front of a Homecoming crowd of 36,765 people, the fourth largest home crowd in program history. “(We) found a way to find

a victory tonight,” head coach Mike Bobo said. “There were a lot of things we did not do well, but I thought the fight was tremendous all night.” The Rams kicked off the Homecoming celebration by driving down the field at ease, going 75 yards in four plays and capping off the drive with a 61yard touchdown pass from Stevens to Gallup. The connection would be a common theme Saturday, as the senior tandem was

in sync throughout the contest. Nearly every drive Stevens was able to find his No. 1 target, consistently finding ways to get the ball to Gallup on the outside. Once the ball was in his hands, Gallup took care of the rest, constantly finding a way to break free of the defender and fight for extra yardage. In total, Gallup finished the game with 13 receptions for 263 yards and three receiving touchdowns. His quarterback was

ASCSU increases tailgate attendance at homecoming game By Matt Bailey @mattnes1999

Hundreds of cars, trucks, trailers and students dotted the field adjacent to Hughes Stadium during tailgates before home football games last year. Now that the Colorado State University football team plays at a new stadium, however, attendance at ASCSU-held tailgates has been low as students are trying to figure out the new system of tailgating. Students do not know about the on-campus ASCSU tailgates or do not participate in them, partially because of how the tailgates are promoted. “I know that coming into the year, we didn’t have as much marketing for the lot as we wanted,” said Nathan Rhine, Director of University Affairs. “It’s clear that we have some changes to make and that if we want to reach more students, we need to find where we’re lacking, which students were not hitting enough, and how we can get that informa-

tion out to them quicker and easier.” ASCSU Chief of Staff Cole Wise thinks verbal communication is the best way to promote on-campus tailgating. “Word of mouth is going to be your best friend, and those who have experienced the student tailgating lot and know about this space are really going to be beneficial in getting the word spread to their fellow rams,” Wise said. “I really do think that the issue we’re having is just getting the word out there and I think that we’re really bringing that to the forefront of the conversation of how we get students to this tailgating lot.” Senior Annie Ngo, a resident assistant from the southside of Braiden Hall, believes students do not participate in tailgates, because they have their own pre-game parties to attend. “I think many students celebrate before the football game off-campus where they don’t have to worry about where to park or how to (get) transport to campus,” Ngo said. “It may

not appear to be exciting when they can easily tailgate at their place with friends.” However, a bigger reason students likely do not participate in on-campus tailgates is because of the change in location. Hughes Stadium offered more space and there were not as many tailgating rules and regulations imposed on students. The current on-campus tailgates are spread out between the lot behind the TILT building, the Lory Student Center lot and The Mob area by the lagoon. Students are also required fill out applications for tailgating spots. “At Hughes, you showed up, you got your spot, and that’s where everybody was,” Wise said. “But now we’re going with the typical, on-campus stadium university request where each lot is focused toward something different and you’ll find different departments (with) tailgating areas.” After experiencing low attendance during the first two home-game tailgates, ASCSU thought of new incentives

to attract more students, and these ideas were applied to homecoming Saturday’s tailgate. According to Wise, the results were noticeable. “I was pretty impressed with the attendance,” Wise said. “There’s always room to improve … we had about 20 student groups, three of those being fraternity and sorority life groups, which is way up from the numbers that we’ve had the past two games.” Dealing with cold weather and wind gusts, ASCSU attracted more students to Saturday’s tailgate by handing out free Forever Green shirts. ASCSU also applied for the Coca Cola grant and received 1,000 bottles of Coca Cola products, which were handed out to attendees. According to Rhine, ASCSU will work with Greek Life in the future in order to re-introduce a Greek Row aspect on campus during gamedays which will hopefully boost attendance even more. ASCSU also redesigned its whole marketing process since

the beginning of the year. “We’ll make some adjustments and try to reach out to as many students as possible,” Rhine said. ASCSU currently approves 93 tailgating permits per gameday, and according to Wise, ASCSU would ideally like to see 45 of those spots filled, with an average of two spots per person or group. Rhine believes that over time, as more students recognize what’s available to them during gameday, attendance rates will increase. “(Tailgating is) a lot of fun,” Rhine said. “The campus is very vibrant on gamedays and the school has put a lot of work in overall. In particular, I think students are not necessarily realizing that they can still grill, they can bring coolers, and it’s a good time. The next game is in two weeks and I hope to see as many students there as I can.” Matt Bailey can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Prestigiously-educated chemistry professors join CSU By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

With Colorado State University’s chemistry graduate program being ranked number 49 by the U.S. news world report of education, the program is considered well-known and prestigious. One of the factors towards this is the assistant professors that the chemistry department hires on to aide the expansion of research and the graduate program. This fall, the chemistry department hired three new assistant professors with education from well known schools like Columbia University, University of California at Berkeley and CSU. Jeffery Bandar Jeffery Bandar has a Ph.D from Columbia University and did his postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Bandar, the principal investigator for the Bandar Group, studies synthetic methodology, or the methods used in synthesis, because he recognizes the importance of safe and reproducible chemistry in the pharmaceutical industry. The Bandar Group looks into synthetic methodology in organic chemistry. By researching common functional groups,

groups of mainly consisting of carbons, hydrogens, nitrogens and oxygens, Bandar hopes to find general reactions for safe and repeatable chemistry. Demonstrating these concepts will allow for a more fundamental understanding of how the functional groups react, creating a stronger basis for a wide variety of synthetic methods. “By looking into synthetical methods, I want to develop a toolbox so that people who are in academia or the industry can take what they can and build what they need to build in a reliable and safe way,” Bandar said. The main application Bandar is looking into is the pharmaceutical industry. Through a greater understanding of reactivity, medicines can be made in a reliable and efficient way. Bandar’s purpose in looking to organic chemistry is to enable the biomedical field through synthesis. “By focusing on fundamental reactivity, you can find applications well beyond small molecule synthesis,” Bandar said. “You can think about how to make reactions and functional groups undergo new transformations.” Joseph Zadrozny Joseph Zadrozny got his Ph.D from the University of California

at Berkeley and has completed his postdoctoral research at Northwestern University. Zadrozny, the principal investigator for the Zadrozny Group, studies synthetic and polymer inorganic chemistry by looking at magnetism. The Zadrozny Group studies how electronic and nuclear magnetic moments in molecules respond to radiation and radio frequency, like in magnetic resonance imaging, the technique that allows doctors to see inside the body in hospitals. Zadrozny is specifically looking into how water and oxygen respond to magnetic moments and wants to use his research to develop magnetic imaging probes that can detect biologically relevant information like oxygen concentrations in the body. “Generally, the idea of magnetism is kind of played down by the field,” Zadrozny said. “(The field) doesn’t recognize it as important. I want to show people that’s not the case: not only is it important, magnetism can provide powerful solutions for traditional chemistry.” Zadrozny also researches magnetism as an unexplored strategy for reaction discovery. By manipulating the pathway of reactions that con-

tain magnetic chemical intermediates, bond formation between atoms can be controlled. In this manner, magnetism may enable access to potentially useful chemical products that are currently unknown. “Because electronic and nuclear magnetic moments are involved in lots of different aspects of life, applications for this research exists all over the place,” Zadrozny said. Garret Miyake Garret Miyake has his Ph.D from CSU and completed his postdoctoral research at the California Institute of Technology and is the principal investigator for the Miyake Group. Originally starting his career at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Miyake has brought his entire research lab to CSU because of the new research building and the opportunity to return to the University he received his Ph.D from. The Miyake Group researches polymer chemistry. Polymers are large molecules composed of small repeating units that are bonded together. The reason for this focus is because the Miyake group believes that polymers are the most important synthetic materials to modern society. The Miyake Group focuses on

developing materials with specific structures on the nanoscale level that allow for polymers with structurally derived colors, similar to the colors that come from peacocks and butterflies. “Polymers have impacted almost every aspect of our daily lives, and through developing new methods to make polymers, we hope to develop new materials that can further improve the quality of our lives,” Miyake said. Through this research, applications including infrared reflective window paint can be created in order to keep cool air inside buildings in warm climates, which reduces costs for cooling costs of buildings and energy consumption. These polymers also have the potential to be 3-D printed to create optical light guides and filters as well as remove the need for toxic pigments or dyes. “The most transformational impact I can have is my graduate students,” Miyake said. “It’s preparing researchers to be skilled and pursue careers, like research into making window paint and applying it to inefficient windows in the US.” Julia Trowbridge can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Campus plan proposes 100 percent renewable energy By Samantha Ye @ samxye4

Environment Colorado released a 10-point plan to help universities achieve a 100 percent renewable energy system two days after the Environmental Protection Agency announced it would repeal the Clean Power Plan. The plan, designed by Environment America, was introduced in an Environment Colorado press release Thursday. It detailed the benefits of each type of renewable or sustainable energy for a college campus as well as case studies of universities already implementing them. The citizen-based environmental organization hopes to share the proposal with universities around Colorado, according to Garrett Garner-Wells, director of Environment Colorado. On the same day the plan was released, Garner-Wells, along with Mara BrosyWiwchar, district director

for Congressman Jared Polis, and Scott Denning, director of education at the Colorado State University Center for Multiscale Modeling of Atmospheric Processes, gave a press conference outside the CSU Powerhouse Energy Campus. Garner-Wells spoke of the important role colleges and universities can play in the clean energy revolution, both by significantly reducing their carbon footprints and setting an example for the community. Earlier this year, CSU pledged to run on 100 percent renewable energy by 2020 and to achieve complete carbon neutrality by 2050. According to Garner-Wells, this would be achieved through a power purchase agreement: a contract between a generator of electricity—which in this case would be from a renewable source—and the buyer of electricity. Essentially, CSU would be buying renewable energy. The University began soliciting proposals for the purchase of renewable electricity

in August and is expected to have a decision by the end of January “This is a really critical time,” Garner-Wells said. “And, to see campuses like Colorado State step up really provides an example for every other college and university here in the state of Colorado and beyond about what they can do for renewable energy.” Brosy-Wiwchar brought up the importance of both federal and local dedication to renewable energy. On the federal level, Polis and three other House lawmakers introduced a bill which would transition the United States to 100 percent renewable energy by 2050. Locally, the Fort Collins Climate Action Plan calls to reduce carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2030 and going carbon neutral by 2050. Colorado legislature requires 30 percent of all investor-owned utilities to generate 30 percent of their electricity from renewable energy by 2020. Brosy-Wiwchar said uni-

versities and communities such as Fort Collins and CSU will be what propel the federal government to ensure the U.S. will be sustainable by 2050.

Steps to Renewable Energy 1- On-Campus Solar Energy 2- On-Campus Wind Energy 3- Solar Heating and Hot Water 4- Geothermal Energy 5- Renewable Energy Purchasing 6- Energy Efficiency in Campus Buildings 7- Microgrids and Energy Storage 8- Electric Transportation 9- Sustainable Transportation 10- Energy Conversation

“Renewable energy is not just a feasible goal but a necessary goal,” Brosy-Wiwchar said. “We need everyone to get

it done.” Despite the EPA’s intent to repeal the Clean Power Plan, Denning said he believes market forces will continue to push people toward renewable energies like solar and wind because they are now cheaper than coal. “I’m still pretty optimistic that (this) generation is going to fix this,” Denning said. Denning talked about the three S’s of climate change: simple, serious, and solvable. The concept of climate change is simple, the consequences are serious, but the issue is ultimately solvable, Denning said. “Fundamentally, we know that we need to cut carbon pollution and that that’s going to be the thing that saves us from the worst effects of climate change and global warming,” Garner-Wells said. “Going 100 percent renewable is a key part of that.” Samantha Ye can be reached at news@collegian.com

CSU addresses snapchat of student painted with swastika in Durward By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98

A Snapchat photo of a student in Durward Hall with a swastika painted on their arm was reported to Colorado State University Thursday. The Director of Residence Life, Laura Giles, responded to the bias-motivated incident Thursday evening in an email to students and staff in the residence halls. The incident comes after three other bias-motivated incidents in the residence halls this semester. A wireless network in Durward Hall was renamed to “F*ck Jews”, and a swastika was painted on a Jewish student’s dorm earlier in the year. A few days before the semester started, a fake noose was reported outside of Resident Assistant Elijah Thomas’s hall in Newsom Hall. Thomas is the only Black or AfricanAmerican resident on his floor. On Monday, students of color held a demonstration in support of Thomas ahead of a

talk with President Tony Frank on the issue. Frank’s talk comes following criticism of the CSU’s administration’s response to the incidents this semester.

Trump is sacrificing women’s rights for religious ideologies 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. Since 2009, the birthrate among young women in Colorado has plunged more than 50 percent, offering would-be mothers a greater chance at building a better life before starting a family. The Trump Administration could be bringing this progress to a screeching halt following his most recent policy change. The President successfully took away the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) contraceptive mandate, which had previously made it mandatory for employers to offer birth control to their employees for no cost, just over a week ago. The current presidential administration’s actions contradict progress made in the num-

ber of unintended pregnancies nationwide. Abortion rates in the United States reached an alltime low in 2014 at 14 percent. This was only three years after the implementation of the ACA contraceptive mandate.

At a glance: ■ The contraception mandate

previously included in the Affordable Care Act (ACA)has allowed 55 million American women to receive birth control through their employer. ■ Trump recently retracted the mandates in an effort to give employers religious freedom ■ 200 employers had opposed the ACA’s contraceptive mandate in court because of their religious beliefs. The provision in the ACA has allowed 55 million American women to receive birth control. Trump justified jeopardizing their cost-free contraceptive methods out of concern for religious groups. In his administration’s notice on the reversal

of the contraceptive mandate, they noted, “the government’s legitimate interests in providing contraceptive coverage do not require us to violate sincerely held religions. We do not possess interests that require us to violate sincerely held moral convictions.” Prior to Trump’s birth control rollback, 200 employers had opposed the ACA’s contraceptive mandate in court because of their religious beliefs. These employers represent only a fraction of the 165 million women in the country. This reveals that Trump’s belittling of the contraceptive mandate is quite unrepresentative of the American people as a whole and biased towards religious practices. Lawsuits have already been filed to block Trump’s actions by the attorney general of Massachusetts, Maura Healy, and the attorney general of California, Xavier Becerra. Their stance is that Trump’s actions violate the First Amendment, which prohibits the government from performing actions based out of respect for an establishment of religion.

On the opposite side of the spectrum is Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. Ryan praised the rollback on free birth control by saying the president’s new rules are “a landmark day for religious liberty.” However, this “religious liberty” does not justify the burden being placed on women who could have previously depended on their employer’s health insurance for birth control. The reversal of the contraceptive mandate will almost certainly have detrimental effects on unplanned pregnancies and an especially large impact in the poorest areas of the country. In Colorado specifically, half of all first births among women in the poorest parts of the state occurred before age 21. In 2014 that age changed to 24. The three-year difference may not seem significant, but it is. It allows young women even more time to attain a degree in higher education or place themselves in a worthy job market. This shows that free birth control can make a substantial difference to women’s lives in ways not seen at first glance. Furthermore, taking away

free birth prevention methods could have a serious affect in the already unfair cases of rape victims. According to the National Library of Medicine National Institute of Health, “rape-related pregnancy occurs with significant frequency.” On a national level, pregnancy associated with rape occurs at a five percent rate, and an overwhelming 32,000 pregnancies are estimated to be the result of rape annually. A rollback on the contraceptive mandate will contribute to unwanted pregnancies in situations in which women had no choice. Not only is Trump’s rollback on cost-free birth control biased towards religious groups, but it also takes away a gateway to a better life for American women. The ACA contraceptive mandate made it easier for women to choose when they would like to have a child. This was a promising measure, considering that almost half of the 6.6 million pregnancies in the United States every year are considered unintentional.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A response to “CSU’s sororities face decreasing retention” By Guest Author @CSUCollegian

Dear Collegian, I was very disheartened after reading the Collegian’s article “CSU’s sororities face decreasing retention rates, while fraternities retain, increase membership,” published Oct. 12. I have been a member of a sorority here on campus since the fall of 2015 and I feel the article severely misrepresented sororities. First, in the drop statistics, the piece fails to mention how many of the people that left

were seniors who graduated. I know for our sorority, we had at least twelve seniors graduate last semester, so of course our numbers went down. However, it was not due purely to unhappiness with their decision to pledge. Those who do drop usually don’t fully understand what is expected of them after pledging. Much of these misunderstandings can be attributed to pop culture representations through movies and TV. A lack of understanding about what sororities really are is also propagated through articles such as these. One of

the people quoted in the article said they didn’t want to pay for friends. I can assure you, this is not what a sorority is. I am not paying for my friends in any way. In fact, even without the sorority, I believe many of us would have found each other through common interests. Sororities here on campus use a values-based recruitment, meaning we recruit based on what each woman believes in, what their morals are, and how they try to live each day. The result of this, is that we end up with chapters whose members belong together, and not just

because they paid the dues. Another source in the article said she ‘wasn’t getting anything out of being a member, but, as with any organization, you get what you put in.’ I wasn’t very involved my freshman year, but when I made more of an effort to attend events, the benefits of membership far outweighed the cost and time commitment. The double standard on this topic is the biggest thing that angers me. As with any large commitment, prioritizing is key. Student athletes have large time commitments, and those on club teams also have to pay

high dues, but no one has researched why people stop their participation in sports. Overall, I love my sisters and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. We all make each other better, each encouraging high standards in one another. I would really hate for this article to discourage people from going through recruitment. For so many of us, we haven’t found just a group of friends, we’ve found a home and a family. Sincerely, A Concerned Sorority Woman

Gallup, Dawkins rescue CSU’s defense in victory over Nevada By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_

Had it not been for the heroics of wide receiver Michael Gallup and running back Dalyn Dawkins, the Colorado State football team may be looking at its worst defeat in years. Instead, both players posted their best statistical performance of their collegiate careers and CSU escaped Nevada’s upset bid, winning 44-42. In a season where the defense has continually stepped up to put the offense in a position to win, that was not entirely the case Saturday night. Though the Rams jumped out to an early 14-point lead, Nevada utilized explosive plays to mount its comeback. The first of Nevada’s three pass touchdowns of at least 50 yards came at the end of the second quarter on a halfback pass from Kelton Moore. Moore found a wide open McLane Mannix for a 57-yard score that tied the game at 14. In the third quarter with the score tied at 28, quarterback Ty Gangi hit Wyatt Demps on the first play of the drive for a 65-yard strike. Then, on Nevada’s next possession, Gangi connected with Brendan O’Leary-Orange for a 55-yard touchdown that gave Nevada an 11-point advantage. Throughout the year, head

coach Mike Bobo has consistently focused on limiting the explosive plays from opponents. The downfall that has reared its ugly head previously in the season was once again apparent on Saturday. “Early in the year, we did not do well against explosive plays,” Bobo said. “We can’t give up the explosive play and we were not very good at that tonight. We gave up explosive plays for touchdowns, and that’s not good.” After falling down 11, Gallup and Dawkins led the comeback train. On the ensuing possession, Dawkins bested Nevada’s rushing total for the game on one play. He took a handoff 59 yards for a score and reenergized an offense that struggled after coming out hot. Still down by four points, Gallup controlled the Rams’ next drive. The senior recorded receptions of 17, 26 and 17 yards, the latter of which resulted in the game-winning touchdown. On the night, Gallup hauled in 13 catches for 263 yards and three touchdowns. Dawkins ran the ball 17 times for 191 yards and one touchdown as both players set career-highs in yardage. Defensive lineman Darnell Thompson realizes that this was an instance in which the offense bailed out a defense that did not play up to its standards. “Some games are going to be defensive games, sometimes

CSU soccer shuts out Utah State to cap successful weekend By Christian Hedrick @ChristianHCSU

Utah State had no response to the Colorado State women’s soccer team’s suffocating defense in the Rams’ 2-0 win on Sunday afternoon at the CSU Soccer Field. Sporting pink jerseys and matching pink socks for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Rams broke out of the gates on Sunday looking poised for their second Mountain West win of the season. CSU’s crisp touches and early offensive pressure led to the Rams’ first scoring opportunity on a corner kick in the 12th minute. Midfielder Beth Plentl delivered the set piece to Alex Lanning on the goalmouth, but the midfielder couldn’t put the shot past the USU keeper. Plentl splits set piece duties with midfielder Makenzi Taylor, but the junior showed she could

assist on the fly in the 35th minute. Following a failed USU clearing attempt, Plentl caught up to the ball on the sideline nearest the CSU cheering section and sailed a cross to an unguarded Hannah Gerdin on the far post. “I saw Hannah get to the back post and that point I am thinking, ‘All it takes now is a good serve,’” CSU coach Bill Hempen said. Plentl’s serve could not have been better, as it landed right on the head of Gerdin who drove the ball past the goal line for her fist tally of the season. Though not a set piece, Gerdin’s goal was the execution of an orchestrated play. “We were working on that back post run,” Plentl said. “Hannah’s very tall, so I just went for it.” Three minutes later, the Aggies looked determined to net the equalizer on a run into the see SOCCER on page 8 >>

it’s offensive games,” Thompson said. “This game, the defense was struggling, offense had to find a way. That’s where good teams can be great teams, it makes one team better. The offense stepped up, I commend them. We’ve got to go back to work, fix our mistakes and get after it next week.” That said, the defense was the unit who clinched the victory as Saturday night crept into Sun-

day morning. Despite its subpar performance for the majority of the game, their ability to lock down cannot be overlooked. It’s also something that Gallup and quarterback Nick Stevens had no doubts about. “I’m over here thinking we’re going to get the stop, that’s the only way you can think,” Gallup said. “At the end of the day, the

game was on the line and it was their game to go out and win, and they did,” Stevens added. “It gives us a lot of confidence to know that, even though they didn’t have a shutout or their greatest game, they still came through in the clutch at the end and won the game for us.” Colin Barnard can be reached by email at sports@collegian.com.

Football >> from page 1 warmups and wanted the ball all night. Every time we threw it to him, he came up with the play.” Bobo continued to comment on his senior wide receiver. “He’s been locked in pretty much all year,” Bobo said. “I had to tell him not to get frustrated there a little bit in the third quarter. You could tell with his body language on the sideline that he was getting a little frustrated. I said, ‘You’re going to win the game for

us son.” While the Rams did the majority of their damage with the passing attack Saturday, senior running back Dalyn Dawkins had the most productive game of his college career. The thirdyear starter carried the ball 17 times for 195 yards and one touchdown, including a crucial 59-yard run in the third quarter. “It was just good to see our guys continue to play, make explosive plays and put enough points on the board to find a victory,” Bobo said. Defensively the Rams strug-

gled to slow down the Wolfpack offense, especially through the air. Junior quarterback Ty Gangi started off slowly but the Glendale, Calif. native kept Nevada in the ballgame throughout, completing 23-of-40 pass attempts for 428 yards and four touchdowns. Along with being able to hit on big plays, Gangi was able to spread the ball around, completing passes to ten different players in the game. Wide receiver Mannix McLane finished the night as Nevada’s leading receiver, totaling seven receptions for

150 yards and one touchdown. CSU football will hit the road next week for a Friday night conference showdown with the New Mexico Lobos. The contest between Mountain West foes will kickoff at 8:15 p.m. MT and will be televised on ESPN2. “We’ve got a short week,” Bobo said. “Gotta get ready for New Mexico, whose an option team. It’s always tough to face an option football team...Hopefully our guys have the right mindset to go to work and get better.” Justin Michael can be reached at jmichael@collegian.com.

CSU penalty area. However, the Rams’ defense blocked all lanes to the net and forced Alecia Robinson’s shot wide. CSU’s stifling defense held the Aggies to just five shots in the first 45 minutes. In the 51st minute, though, goalie Hunter Peifer was called on to make a big save when the Aggies drew a free kick just beyond the CSU penalty area. The free kick was heading towards Aggies’ leading goal scorer Ashley Cardozo, but Peifer emerged from her box and punched the ball away before Cordozo could get a look. Before USU could get another shot at an equalizer, Plentl combined with freshman Karli Eheart for an insurance goal in the 63rd minute. This time on a corner kick, Plentl sent a low-flying line drive to the foot of Eheart, directing the cross to the right side of the net for her third goal of the season. “We’ve been working on four plays, and I call that the second play,” Plentl said. “It was a little far out, but it worked out perfectly because Karli was on the end of it.” Though the lead was just two following Eheart’s tally, it seemed unsurmountable as the Rams’ swarming defense prevented the Aggies from gaining any momentum. “There was a moment where I knew we were in good hands because they had switched the ball to play wide, and all I could see was a wave of pink players coming across,” Hempen said. “I knew they weren’t going to let it in.” Most of USU’s scoring opportunities came off set plays, concluding with a free kick in the 89th minute. Taken from outside the CSU penalty area, Peifer gloved the header for her third and final save of the afternoon. The Rams’ shutout victory over USU marks the first result of any kind against the Aggies in the program’s five-year history, capping off a big weekend for the Rams. “It’s a long time coming right there. We deserved to win that game,” Hempen said. “Any wins against teams like Utah State and a tie against Boise State are all great results for us as a program going forward. We’re pretty excited.” The Rams head out west for a 1 p.m. showdown with New Mexico on Friday and a 2 p.m. match with San Diego State next Sunday.

VOLLEYBALL

Rams sweep Nevada on Breast Cancer Awareness Day By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

No. 21 Colorado State volleyball swept Nevada for the seventh consecutive time on Saturday afternoon to begin homecoming weekend with a bang (25-21, 2519, 25-18). McKenna Thornlow’s mother, currently battling breast cancer, joined Thornlow on the court during the pregame introductions and was welcomed by a standing ovation by a Moby Arena crowd adorned in pink. Many of her teammates dyed their hair and sported pink accessories in support as well. “It (has been) a big toll on Mckenna,” Alexandra Poletto said. “We were all trying to be there for her as she goes through this with her mom and we all feel for her for that.” The Rams came out fighting early, jumping out to a 5-0 lead over the Wolfpack. Without trailing in the set, the Rams cruised to an opening set victory, a feat they have accomplished in all but two of their matches to this point in

the season. Midway through the first set, Jasmine Hanna, coming off her historic night on Tuesday, was the only Ram with a kill. With Nevada’s main hitter Shayla Hoeft sidelined, the Rams shifted their attention to fellow Wolfpack hitter Ayla Fresenius who was held to a mere six kills with a lowly -.083 hitting percentage. With a lack of hitting power coming at them, the Rams were able to hold Nevada to a .149 hitting percentage as a team, suffocating the Wolfpack with constant blocking force. Nearly every ball hit over the net was being disrupted by a Ram blocker, sending the Wolfpack scrambling for other options including tipping the ball over in hopes of catching the defense off guard. Despite their best effort, they were thwarted by the Rams stifling defense which was aided by an overwhelming height advantage. “(Seeing the height difference) makes me feel confident,” Paulina Hougaard-Jensen said. “I am the small one of all of us (middles), but when the ball is high and

you block it, it feels good.” Going through the first set without trailing, the Rams were forced to claw their way through the second set, trailing or tied for most of the set. The Wolfpack’s opportunity to upset the Rams was limited by consistent serving and hitting errors. As an underdog, a flawless game with few mistakes must be played and Nevada was subject to the lesson early and often. Even with their best effort, the Wolfpack began to succumb to fatigue and the Rams pulled away late in the set. Coming out of the intermission, Nevada jumped ahead, similar to the previous set. The deficit for the Rams was due to their lack of hitting efficiency, exemplified by their negative hitting percentage for much of the early portion of the set. As the set went along, the Rams rose their hitting percentage and found their groove again. “They were digging a lot of balls,” coach Tom Hilbert said. “We just didn’t get a ton of kills and that’s probably a result of not passing great and having to take

some extra swings to get into position to get kills.” As a whole, the Rams struggled to hit in the match, a product of the Wolfpack’s digging prowess. Overcoming the woes, the Rams rode senior Hanna and her eight kills to a good enough hitting day. Fellow senior Sanja Cizmic carried the sweep at the end, serving the Rams to a 5-0 scoring run to pull away in the final set. Following the lead of their seniors has been the catalyst for the Rams triumphant season and even on a down day, the maturity of the team’s veterans

was evident. As the season draws on, the Rams winning ways have continued as they have now pushed their record to 18-2, winning 18 of their last 19 matches overall. They remain perfect in conference with Boise State being their only game in which they were forced into more than three sets.

Hundreds attend Women’s Clothing Swap at The Artery By Miranda Moses @mirandasrad

Shopping is better when the clothes are free. This Saturday, women flooded into the top floor art space of the Fort Collins Downtown Artery for the third BiAnnual Women’s Clothing Swap. Women were encouraged to clean out their closets for the new fall season and bring all unwanted clothing and accessories to the swap in bins and bags, including jewelry, dresses, bras, maternity items, shoes, purses and more. Once inside, participants sorted their items according to various tables throughout the space, labeled with big red signs hanging from the ceiling. From there, it was free for all. Everything was for the taking, and everything was absolutely free. Teddi Parker, host and selfdescribed “birthing mother” of the swap, welcomed every women individually at the door. The event, which gained momentum via Facebook, was highly anticipated with over 1,200 women interested in attending. Hundreds of women showed up, and Teddi said the event keeps growing each season. “We have been at the Artery three times now,” Parker said. “And we moved upstairs hoping we would have more space, but we are just going to have to go bigger

next year. I am an artist, so I have used this space for art. Everyone here is so great and so helpful, so it has been a really great place to be. I just do not know if we can do it here again, unfortunately.” The idea for the clothing swap came from Parker’s passion for thrifting. Originally, she swapped clothing with ladies at her church. When she wanted to go bigger, the Artery offered the space to fulfill her dreams for free.

“We are focused on the whole, ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure’ concept.” TEDDI PARKER HOST

“I’m such a thrifter at heart, and maybe too frugal,” Parker said. “For me, double digits on clothing is intimidating. Thrift stores are great, and we are focused on the whole, ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure’ concept. So at first, we just did it with friends, and it worked for a while, and then I just kept hearing about more and more ladies liking it and wanting to do it.” Participant Amanda Wissland came to the clothing swap bearing her 8-month-old baby, Ryland, in a wrap around her mid-section. Women of all

ages attended the event, many moms were present with their infant children. “This is my second time coming to one of these, and the event is pretty special because as you can see, women of all shapes, sizes and ages show up, and everyone is polite, despite how hectic it is in here,” Wissland said. “Seeing other babies makes it even more fun. I love seeing other moms in action. Every time I come, I am happy with who shows up.” Although attendees were diverse, all shared the common

interest of finding clothing at a thrifty price. For attendee Emily Gersbeck, Saturday marked he first time attending a swap. “This event it awesome, I enjoy it a lot,” Gersbeck said. “All my great purchases are oftentimes second-hand stuff, so my favorite clothing is often second-hand. I love the fact that you can drop off your clothes and come away with clothes for no cost. And, the change-over rate is so quick, so there is always something fresh on the table.” Any unclaimed clothing

remaining after the event ended was donated to ThriftRite on Horsetooth and Timberline. Remaining bras will be donated to a group in Denver that Parker has connections to, and they will be given to homeless women and girls. The next swap will occur in April to align with spring closet cleaning, and will likely not commence at the Artery again for the sake of space and growing numbers.

FOOD & DINING

Black Bottle Brewery brings back chocolate cereal beer By Alec Erickson @CTV_Ace

Wine and cheese. Soda and pizza. These are classic combinations. But beer and cereal? It sounds like an unconventional pairing, even for craft beer. But for Black Bottle Brewery, this is just one way to alter the way we think about beer. For the last few years, Black Bottle has had a line of beer made with cereal that they call Cerealiously. This year, the beer has a Halloween twist, being made using Count Chocula cereal. Around three years ago, founder of Black Bottle Brewing, Sean Nook, came up with the idea of creating a cereal beer. “I thought it was a silly idea, putting cereal in a beer,” said head brewer Tom Moseman. “It tasted pretty good, so I was on board after that.” The first run of the Cerealiously beer was made using Honey Bunches of Oates. Since that initial combination, Black Bottle has experimented with different cereals each year, in-

cluding Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Reese’s Puff. Two years ago, the brewery initially used Count Chocula for the Halloween release. What really stands out about the Count Chocula Cerealiously beer is the distinct chocolate flavor. The beer itself is a milk stout, which is a darker beer but not too strong.

LOCATION ■ 1611 S. College Ave.

“We figured milk and cereal first, and pretty much every cereal we use goes well with a dark beer,” Moseman said. The beer is brewed with some extra chocolate malts to bring out the flavor a bit more. To make the beer, it requires a lot of cereal during the fermentation process. Black Bottle usually goes through 48 boxes of cereal for a batch, which is equivalent to about 35 pounds. The cereal

is poured into nylon bags which are then added to the fermenter. The process has pretty much always been the same, according to Moseman. General Mills took notice of the cereal style beer, and even

sent Black Bottle one of their prototype cereals, Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch a few years ago. Moseman said a lot of the recognition for the beer comes from when they cleaned out a local Albertson’s for Count Chocula.

Maybe cereal and beer isn’t unconventional at all. You be the judge. Cerealiously Count Chocula will be on tap at Black Bottle starting on Wednesday, Oct. 18. Alec Erickson can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

‘Happy Death Day’ is high on tropes, dead on originality By Mir-Yashar Seyedbagheri @dudesosad

You are living the same day over and over. You cannot escape. Sound familiar? It is the plot of Christopher Landon’s “Happy Death Day.” It also describes a far superior predecessor: “Groundhog Day.” “Haven’t you seen Groundhog Day?” the protagonist’s love interest actually proclaims. Apparently, she has not. That is a real shame. Where the Bill Murray classic is replete with humor, heart and a strong plot, Landon’s movie is little more than tropes and dark humor. Theresa “Tree” Gelbman (Jessica Rothe) is our protagonist. The movie opens on Gelbman’s birthday, to the very-collegiate sound of ringing bells. She is in a boy’s dorm room. Said boy, Carter (Israel Broussard), has brought her home after a night of liberal imbibing and other less-thanexemplary behavior. Flirting,

puking and dancing on a table are involved. Hard not to like this protagonist, right? Throughout the rest of the day, we are introduced to the contours of her life.

HAPPY DEATH DAY ■ Director:

Christopher B. Landon

■ Genre:

Horror/comedy ■ Starring: Jessica Rothe, Israel Broussard, Ruby Modine ■ Release Date: October 13, 2017 Gelbman has a tense relationship with her father. She is a sorority member. She also has no shortage of contempt for her roommate, Lori (Ruby Modine), who made her a birthday cupcake.

Hint: the cupcake plays a significant role in the movie’s resolution. No joke. “What did you wish for?” Lori asks. “A new roommate,” Gelbman says flippantly. En route to a party that night, Gelbman she sees a mysterious music box, which is playing “Happy Birthday” hypnotically. Lights also flicker on campus. What happens next? Gelbman is stabbed by a masked man. She dies, supposedly. She wakes up the next morning to find that she is repeating the same day. This is where the movie takes on more energy. She ends up repeating the same day over and over. This also means she gets killed numerous times. Stopping it is seemingly futile. Of course, there must be a wise sage to help her solve the murder and live to see tomorrow. That sage? Carter. He concludes that the killer knows her birthday and they need to figure out who has motives.

The problem is that there is a long list. Gelbman has made a daily habit of stepping on toes and discarding feelings. But this movie is not just about solving her murder. It is also about Gelbman’s own personal redemption. This particular storyline is one of the movie’s inherent weaknesses. I felt little emotional connection to these people. That is a big problem. Characters are just speaking platitudes, but they do not seem to believe them. “Each new day is a chance to be somebody better,” Carter said. There are certainly places where the filmmakers could have developed character. In one intriguing subplot, we learn that Gelbman’s mother died. Three guesses as to what day she died ... you guessed it. To add insult to injury, Gelbman and her mother shared the same birthday. This is an angle that could have been better developed. I would have liked to see how grief influenced

Gelbman’s behaviors. I would have liked to know more about the mother. These details would have made Gelbman a far more empathetic character. The movie is also high on tropes and stereotypes. Sorority girls obsess over their diets. There is a lecherous professor, who is also British. Should you see this movie? Yes, if you like a lot of energy, dark humor and a less-than-developed plot. If you want thoughtful and funny existentialism, see “Groundhog Day.” In Groundhog Day, Bill Murray gives a moving and sincere speech to the people of Punxsutawney, PA. He describes the joy of “basking in the warmths of their hearts and hearth.” The filmmakers could have given the film more heart to balance the bloodbath.
