Fort Collins marches to ‘rise up and take action’ at MLK March By Name Here
@TwitterHandleHere
Members of Fort Collins gathered to “Rise Up and Take Action” against the inequalities that still persist within the United States. Around 800 citizens from all around Fort Collins marched through Old Town on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and ended with a rally in the Colorado State University Lory Student Center.
Members of the community ranged from a large cluster of students from Poudre High School who volunteered to march at the event, to CSU students and faculty to military veterans looking to support the cause. During a congregation period prior to the march, citizens shared words with each other and some spoke about what they thought the cause of this year’s event was. One of those citizens was CSU senior Lena Ham.
“People are realizing that there are still issues in the world that we ignore, and [those issues] are still relevant and affecting people all over,” Ham said. The event kicked-off in Old Town Square, where a speech by the march leader, Jaelyn Coates, touched on inequalities that are still prevalent across the country. Coates dissected the meaning of a quote from civil rights activist Angela Davis. “It was Angela Davis who
said that you have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world, and you have to do it all the time” Coates said. “And, now I ask you... what does it mean to be radical?” Coates gave time for reflection on the true meaning of Davis’ words. Coates also spoke about how something as simple as water access is not free and equal to all across the nation, giving examples of the disparity of living conditions amongst
Americans lumped into different classes. “Perhaps right now, there are many of us who could walk into any of these stores lining the streets of Old Town... and get a drink of water,” Coates said. “But at this very moment there are also folks in Flint, Michigan and in Appalachia and in the Bayous of Louisiana who have been without [clean water] for years.” A few minutes into the see MLK on page 4 >>

Polis opens Fort Collins office, discusses run for governor By Nate Day @NateMDay
Congressman Jared Polis opened a new office in Fort Collins Saturday afternoon and hosted a grand opening for supporters in his upcoming campaign for governor. The new office, located on College and Laurel, welcomed over 200 people according to Polis’ staff. That number, according to a staff member who wished to remain anonymous, was over double what they expected. At the grand opening event, Polis spoke on the political platforms that his campaign will be based on. Among his policies were early childhood education, investing in infrastructure and living costs, all of which solicited applause from the audience. “He seems to be really high on education and the environment,” said Kathy Gravdahl, a Fort Collins resident. “Those are two priorities for me.” Among the attendees was Colorado State University alumnus Ben Swall-Yarrington, who graduated with a degree in En-
glish in December. Swall-Yarrington asked Polis specifically about how he would support those that wanted to return to school. “I appreciate that he went beyond just getting more funding,” Swall-Yarrington said. “I could honestly tell that he was very passionate about the issue, too.” While people in attendance at the event showed support for what Polis said, for many it was too early to tell whether they would support him for governor. “I’m still undecided as to who I’m going to vote for in the Democratic Caucus,” Swall-Yarrington said. “But, he did leave a very strong impression on me today, and I look forward to supporting any democratic candidate going forward.” Similarly, community member Vivian Gingert said she is unsure for whom she plans on voting. “I have to admit I’m still on the fence about who I’m supporting at the caucus,” Gingert said. “But, I liked what I heard here today, and I’ll weight that
against whatever comes up.” Polis, however, said he was confident in his ideas and was very outspoken about one member of the opposite party in particular. “I think in the age of President Trump, it’s important that Coloradoans have a governor that promotes inclusivity, and to make sure that we value all of Colorado,” Polis said. Polis said he would stand up for Coloradoans in “any attack from Washington,” in addition to challenging President Trump. In a similar vein, Polis explained that he supports equal pay for equal work. Polis spoke about his own staff, which features women in prominent roles such as chief of staff and campaign executives. “It just so happened -- as it often does -- that women were more qualified for those positions,” said Polis on his stance on hiring women. Polis also turned his focus to college students during the event, as Fort Collins is home to CSU, one of the largest universities in the state. Polis claimed that in regards to net neutrali-

ty, he intends to put consumer protections in place in order to make it easier for students to succeed. Polis and his team are campaigning in hopes of Polis being elected governor Nov. 6, 2018. Polis faces competition from five other major candidates currently, with a few more expected to announce candidacy in the coming months. More information on Polis’ campaign policies and volun-
teer opportunities can be found online at www.polisforcolorado. com. Nate Day can be reached at news@collegian.com

University collects 795 toys in first Toys for Tots campaign By Samantha Ye @samxye4
Colorado State University’s first annual Toys for Tots campaign brought in nearly 800 toys for children in Larimer County, according to event coordinator Janet Mabon. The 795 toys, which included sports equipment, board games, Legos, Hot Wheels, stuffed animals and dolls, were distributed to various charities, non-profits and governmental agencies over the holiday season. “I felt the drive was a huge success for the first year,” Mabon wrote in an email to the Collegian. “We had about 20 full donation boxes, which almost filled the entire floor of the donated box truck from Facilities.” The United States Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program collects new, unwrapped toys and distributes them as gifts to less fortunate children in local communities, according to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation’s official website. Mabon, who began working as CSU’s fiscal and budget coordinator in October, said she was surprised there was not a campus-wide drive in place for Toys for Tots. Mabon decided to start an annual drive at CSU, having found the toy drive a wonderful event when she hosted a donation box at her previous employer in Arizona. “I also did this to honor my father’s memory since he loved working with and supporting kids and fulfill wishes from my family members who said they would rather I donate to Toys for Tots than get them any gifts,” Mabon wrote. “So, coordinating and running the CSU toy drives, for me is a gift to them and their memory as well.” To host a box for next year’s toy drive, contact Mabon at janet.mabon@colostate.edu. Mabon began placing do-

nation boxes with the help of her daughter Nov. 17 at various campus locations she had selected, including at least one box at each of the perimeter campuses. In the end, there were 31 box locations total. Each donation box requires a host who keeps the box in a secure location and forwards reminders and other communications about the drive to faculty, staff, and student organizations within their building.
From Dec. 18-21, boxes were collected by Mabon, her husband and Chad Alexander, manager of Facilities at the Vet Hospital, and delivered to the Larimer County Toys for Tots warehouse in Loveland. Various charity representatives, the Larimer County co-coordinator, Deb Cross, and the Santa Cops handled toy distribution and delivery. All toys and monetary donations collected in the
Larimer County Toys for Tots campaign go to children in Larimer County. Any toys not delivered over the holiday season will be distributed throughout the year as charities, non-profits, and governmental agencies need them. Some may also be delivered in early December, prior to the 2018 donation boxes being delivered to the warehouse. Mabon said she hopes to expand the next toy drive to
cover more buildings on the main campus and perhaps the Foothills campus, assuming the Larimer County co-coordinator can handle the extra volume. “CSU is an amazing place with such wonderful people with such big, generous hearts,” Mabon wrote. “I can’t express enough how proud I am to be part of the CSU community.” Samantha Ye can be reached at news@collegian.com.
er of Jeremy Holmes, who was killed by campus police. Holmes claims CSU President Tony Frank is avoiding her. Towards the end of the march, the leaders and organizers of the event, along with Frank, locked arms and made their way into the Lory Student Center. The keynote speaker was prefaced with a mix of poetry, speech and song. Frank spoke prior to the keynote. “Those of us who have marched together over these
years and come from positions of power and privilege, if we’re honest, we know that we’ve marched in relative comfort and convenience,” Frank said. “And yet, challenge and controversy have found us ... but we do not face these challenges alone. There are those in our community who have never marched in comfort and convenience. We can draw on their strength and we can learn from them.” Frank used this quote to introduce the keynote speaker Rev. Jamie Washington.
The reverend stressed that while this MLK Day march may promote progressive thinking for the day, it is important for attendees to continue to assess their motives and to “wake up before you rise up.” After his opening speech the reverend dismissed the crowd into small groups where discussions were carried out on topics ranging from art and social justice to human trafficking. As the event wore on, the crowd reduced notably in size prompting comments from the
reverend before the closing of the day. The reverend instructed those who were still present to look around the ballroom and take note of the reduction of the crowd. He said this is a common occurrence. “When you rise up and take action, people will leave,” Washington said, to which the audience snapped in support. “I can’t take all the action. Do your part.” Carson Lipe can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Crime you missed over winter break Fort Collins police search for armed robbery suspect, SWAT team detains burglar in Laporte By Pat Conrey @CSUCollegian
Here is a collection of the crimes from in and around the Fort Collins area while students celebrated the over winter recess. Dec. 11: Police search for suspect in bank robbery According to Fort Collins Police Services, Public Service Credit Union, at 319 S. Meldrum St., reported an armed robbery to the Fort Collins Police Department. At 5:45 p.m. the male suspect entered the bank, showed the teller a gun and demanded the money. No one was harmed, but authorities said the man escaped with an undisclosed amount of money. FCPS is still searching for the suspect. The suspect was caught on camera and is described as possibly Hispanic
or Asian and between 5-foot5 and 5-foot-8. The Police are asking for assistance and anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Adam Braun at 970-221-6580. They can also report tips at www.stopcriminals.org. While providing tips you can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of an undisclosed amount of money as a late Christmas present. Dec. 28: SWAT Team responds to burglar in Laporte According to the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, at around 5:32 a.m., they received a report of a man burglarizing a business in Laporte. After a two-and-a-half hour standoff with the Fort Collins Police Department and the Larimer County Regional SWAT team, the man tried to flee the scene. The team used pepperballs and a chemical agent to keep him from escaping. The suspect was transported to a local hospital for observations consistent with illicit drug use. He was later booked to the Larimer County Jail on multiple allegations. Jan. 10: Suspect arrested in Loveland stabbing At approximately 7:48 p.m., the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office received word that a victim in Loveland had been stabbed in the leg and then
again in the arm following an argument, according to LCCO. The suspect fled the scene of the crime but shortly afterwards deputies located the suspect nearby. He was arrested on allegations of second degree assault and the victim was treated for nonlife-threatening injuries. The bail bond was posted at $5,000.

Missing Fort Collins woman found dead in homicide By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98
Fort Collins Police Services announced Thursday evening that a missing woman they have searched for since early December was found dead in Lory State Park. A park ranger discovered the body, later identified as 41-year-old Kimberlee Graves of Fort Collins by the Larimer County Coroner’s Office. Her death has been ruled a homicide. Graves was last seen the
evening of Dec. 4 at her home on Akin Avenue, according to FCPS. Graves’ friend requested a welfare check Dec. 8 when she could not contact Graves, but authorities were unable to contact Graves after trying to reach her at her home. According to FCPS, no one answered the door at Graves’ home when officers conducted the welfare check, and her car was gone. Authorities say Graves’ friend who requested the welfare check entered Graves home Dec. 10 and notified authorities that the house had been ransacked. On Dec. 13, Graves’ vehicle was found in a Fort Collins parking garage unattended. Police have continued investigating since that time. Detectives do not have reason to believe there is a threat to public safety, according to FCPS. Anyone with information regarding Graves’ death is encouraged to contact Fort Collins Police at 970-416-2825 or tipsline@ fcgov.com or contact Crime Stoppers of Larimer County at 970-221-6868 or www. stopcriminals.org.

Scene Magazine acquired by North Forty News By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98
North Forty News announced Tuesday that the Northern Colorado publication acquired Fort Collins-based Scene Magazine, placing all operations of the magazine under the ownership of North Forty News. “This acquisition by North Forty News brings together two unique communityoriented locally owned publications,” said North Forty News Publisher and Owner Blaine Howerton in a press release. “Both publications have been serving Northern Colorado for close to 30 years. I see a very bright future for two very special locally owned
publications.” In November 2017, members of the Fort Collins music scene accused Scene Magazine Owner Michael Mockler of sexual harassment. The Lyric Cinema announced soon after the accusations that the theatre would not carry the magazine unless Mockler was no longer involved in the publication. North Forty News announced that both publications will operate as separate businesses, but will share certain distribution points and corporate resources.

There are a variety of adventures to take during snowy seasons, and you might find most people descending the Rocky Mountain slopes on a pair of skis or a snowboard. Skiing and snowboarding have a long history and will never get old; however, there is a new trend, and it begins with a little bit of odd engineering. A bike for the snow, but instead of wheels you get one good ski, or two huge tires made to float over snow. Ski Biking and Fat Biking is growing more popular every year, with resorts such as Copper Mountain and Steamboat hosting winter events.

A response to “The benefits of hookup culture”
We saw hate on our campus last semester. Help us document it.
By Guest Author @CSUCollegian
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. Letters to the Editor reflect the view of a member of the campus community and are submitted to the publication for approval. This letter is in response to a previous column which can be found here. There’s no denying it, sex is fabulously fun. It’s a great workout and an awesome stress reliever. It naturally feels good, too. Sex is kind of like pizza-- even when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good. Often, the anticipation of a new sex partner is an aphrodisiac. Most of us have probably experienced a sexual encounter with someone we barely know, or have had a “friend with benefits.” I agree with Rocky Mountain Collegian columnist Lauren Willson, a proponent of the “hook-up,” these types of amalgamations are spontaneous, hot and sexy, and provide freedom from relationships, commitments or obligations. For the busy college student, it affords a physical outlet without the time demand that accompanies the dating scene. Impromptu sex eliminates the awkwardness of first dates, the possibility of bad breakups, and the discomfort of meeting the parents. It removes social obligation, stereotypical gender roles and encourages women’s empowerment. In the college world, it’s known as a “hook-up,” and affirms casual sex as a positive experience. It’s easy to see why the hook-up is appealing. Relationships can be challenging, time consuming and rife with heartache. Certainly, it can be argued that casual encounters are ideal if you’re looking for erotic contact with no strings attached. However, sometimes there
are strings. A casual hook-up could result in unplanned pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections. Although the incidence of unplanned pregnancy has decreased over the last 10 years, the rate of STIs among college students is on the rise. Statistically, one in four undergrads have an STI. You can’t tell a person is infected just by looking at them, and many STIs don’t have obvious symptoms. While some STIs can be treated and cured, there are many that persist for life; HPV, herpes, HIV/AIDS, just to name a few. Unfortunately, some STIs, if left untreated can cause sterility, sabotaging future plans for a family. Thus, you might be thinking to yourself: ‘Just wear a condom,’ and granted, that is the best protection. Herein lies the problem; college students are notorious for binge drinking. That doesn’t usually make for responsible decisions. When it comes to hooking up, over 45 percent of students under the influence of alcohol don’t even consider using prophylactics. 60 percent of female college students say they would still have sex even if their partner refused to wear a condom. A woman’s empowerment thrives in taking control of her own health and sexuality. If you have the hookup, empower yourself and insist on protection! I can see it seems that engaging in a hookup may save time; an important consideration for the busy student. But, does it really? How much time is spent worrying and wondering about getting home in the morning, possible STIs, or dissolution of a friendship? The hook-up may have its benefits, but saving time might not be one. Seemingly, the hook-up culture has its offerings, but individuals may be selling themselves short. Underneath a valiant effort to seem sexual-

ly casual and emotionally detached, there is an underlying human desire for romantic attachment. Humans are wired for long-term commitment, and added sexual encounters bring more baggage to future committed relationships. For women especially, hook-ups can be detrimental to emotional health and well-being. Statistical evidence shows that committed relationships decrease the chance of emotional distress, unplanned pregnancy and STIs. Willson, albeit an enthusiast for the hookup, doesn’t overlook briefly mentioning the issue of STIs in her column and makes a great recommendation for using the CSU Health Network; however, utilizing her column as a forum to further expound on careful sex practices and emotional welfare could additionally assist in safeguarding her peers from disease and wemotional strife. This would be a remarkable way to promote safer sex while still supporting the hook-up. I understand the appeal of the hookup, and why, for college students, this seems a great way to gratify one’s physical needs without romantic attachment. Despite the statistics, there are those who will maintain their position—the hook-up rocks! Even though I don’t engage in hook-ups, I’m not here to judge someone who does. My position on the hookup is to be informed, be pro-active and really contemplate your decisions. Protect yourself in every way and have a good time! In conclusion, to complete the opening quote from the late George Michael, “Sex is natural, sex is good, not everybody does it, but everybody should!” Now, wanna get some pizza? Letters may be sent to letters@collegian.com. When submitting letters, please abide by the guidelines listed at collegian.com. Being excited for the first day of your last semester.

Last semester, we covered hate: On Aug. 29, we reported that a fake noose was hung outside of a Black RA’s floor. On Aug. 30, we reported that a former CSU student participated in the alt-right Charlottesville rally. On Oct. 4, we reported that a wireless network, accessible on campus, was renamed “F*ck Jews.” On Oct. 4, we reported that the words “Hail Hitler” were written on a Jewish student’s dorm room door. On Oct. 12, we reported a public Snapchat of a student painted with a swastika in a residence hall. On Oct. 29, we reported that a mannequin was found in an on-campus trashcan defaced with Nazi symbols. This semester, we want to continue reporting hate on our campus, but we also want to document it in a meaningful way. And, we need your help to do it. If you choose to share your experiences with us this semester, you’ll help a national non-profit project gather better data on hate crimes and bias incidents in the U.S. for use by journalists and civilrights organizations.

While the FBI is required to collect data about hate crimes, local jurisdictions aren’t required to report the incidents to the federal government. The FBI’s data is incomplete. There’s not a reliable database in the nation to understand how often or of what magnitude these incidents are occurring. So, we’ve decided to partner with ProPublica, a nonprofit investigative newsroom, to track incidents of hate and bias. They’ve
started a project called “Documenting Hate” with a coalition of organizations such as The Southern Poverty Law Center, The Google News Lab, The New York Times and several other organizations hoping to get better data on hate. ProPublica’s goal is to assemble data from law enforcement, community groups, local jurisdictions, news reports, social media and nonprofit organizations. They’re using volunteers, including journalism students (that’s where we come in) to follow-up on the tips to authenticate the data. The Collegian is joining 11 other campus newspapers in this project to help ProPublica authenticate the reports. Ultimately, the database will be available—with privacy and security restrictions— to civil rights groups and journalists to contribute to a national understanding of hate crimes and bias incidents. We are going to embed the ProPublica form on our website and as well as at the bottom of any related news story about a hate crime or incident. If you fill out the form, you share your story with the project Documenting Hate. They, in turn, will share that information with us so that we can try to write a story about it, therefore authenticating the news tip. You may remain anonymous in any news story we write if you believe you may be subject to retaliation or if your safety may be in jeopardy. ProPublica will not share your name and contact information with anybody outside their coalition of partners without your permission. We—and ProPublica and the Documenting Hate Project—are not law enforcement and we’re not affiliated with CSU. We will not report your information to the police or to the university. The Southern Poverty Law Center recommends you do so directly if you are a victim of a crime. We know that these events can be traumatic. Thank you to those of you who choose to tell us what happened. You can find the submission form on our website in the “Opinion” section under “Editorial.”

Rams earn fifth consecutive victory in dual meets By Evan Grant @EGrantSports
The Colorado State swimming and diving team capped off a perfect 5-0 week in dual meets with wins over Northern Arizona and Northern Colorado last weekend. The first meet of the weekend came Saturday afternoon when the Rams faced off against the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks at Moby Pool. Coming off three consecutive wins against Mountain West opponents earlier in the week, CSU looked to put away the Lumberjacks, defending champions of the Western Athletic Conference. CSU won the dual meet in a close fashion finishing with a 123-120 win to advance to a record of 6-3 on the season. Going into the final four events of the night, CSU and NAU were tied at 80. The Rams won the proceeding three events to take
the lead they would not relinquish. Junior Tonicia Thomas won the 100 backstroke with a time of 55.69 to begin the successful trio of events. Freshman Maddie Ward and junior Haley Rowley won the breaststroke and 500 freestyle, respectively, to give the Rams breathing room heading into the final event. “We were counting on them,” head coach Christopher Woodard said in a statement. “We were in a position where we basically had to win all three of those, just in case we couldn’t win the final relay. They were clutch.” Northern Arizona won both diving events of the day and started the swimming with a victory over the Rams in the 200 medley relay. CSU’s first victory of the day took place in the 1000 free with Rowley finishing with a time of 10:18.41.
CSU’s next meet was a dual meet at Northern Colorado on Sunday in Greeley. The Rams defeated Northern Colorado 145-98 to get their fifth victory in a row as they count down to the Mountain West Championship next month. During this meet, CSU won the 400 medley relay during the first swimming event of the day. A finishing time of 3:54.19 behind the talents of Thomas, Ward, sophomore Marie Goodwin and senior Rowan Hauber was enough to lift the Rams over the Bears. Rowley recorded two other big wins for the Rams winning the 1000 freestyle with a time of 19:19.84 and the 500 freestyle with a time of 5:01.83, five seconds faster than the second place finisher. The dive team was led by freshman Skylar Williams, placing second in the 1-meter dive and third in the 3-meter dive.

“Today was another good learning experience for us,” dive coach Chelsea Popplewell said. “We are learning how to perform on back-to-back days, which we will have to do at the conference meet. Meets like this are valuable
for our group.” The final dual meet of the season will take place at Moby Pool on Jan. 26 at 4 p.m. Evan Grant can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

MEN’S BASKETBALL
CSU knocks off Wyoming in foul-plagued Border War By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_
In a game that featured more fouls than field goals made, the Colorado State men’s basketball team knocked off Wyoming 78-73 in the first installment of the Border War Saturday afternoon in Laramie. The two teams totaled 56 fouls in 40 minutes of action as four players fouled out of the contest. After a relatively calm first half, the whistle made its presence felt in the second stanza as the Border War quickly turned into a battle at the free throw line. The road victory for CSU (10-9, 3-3 Mountain West) is their third such of conference play. Building off momentum from a road win against Utah State,
CSU came out of the gates playing some of its best basketball of the season. Coach Larry Eustachy’s mantra was on full display early as the Rams’ smothering defense and physicality on the boards allowed them to mount a 15-point lead through the first 15 minutes of play. Wyoming (11-7, 2-3 MW) failed to convert a field goal for a 13-minute stretch while the Rams consistently attacked the basket to develop the lead. With four minutes remaining in the half, Wyoming forward Alan Herndon made a 3-pointer to end the stretch and sparked a Wyoming run. In a matter of minutes, CSU went from playing some of its best basketball of the year to some of the worst. The Rams’ offense stalled as
they stopped attacking the basket and instead relied on isolating the ball. Wyoming finished the half on a 16-2 run and trailed by only one at halftime. CSU guard and leading scorer Prentiss Nixon did not score in the opening 20 minutes and found himself on the bench in foul trouble for the majority of Wyoming’s run. While the first half was a game of runs, the second was all about the whistle. Both teams reached the bonus less than five minutes into the half as the the referees cracked down on borderline calls that went unpunished in the first half. Wyoming leading scorer Justin James picked up his fourth foul just two minutes into the half and missed the next 12 minutes of action.
The Rams did not trail throughout the half but failed to pull away as both teams found their way to the charity stripe on seemingly every possession. Two possessions after Wyoming trimmed the lead to one possession, J.D. Paige silenced the Arena-Auditorium with a 3-pointer to give CSU a six-point lead. Che Bob and Nixon finished the Pokes with free throws late. Bob paced CSU with 17 points, followed closely by Nixon who scored all 16 of his points in the second half. Paige also reached double digits for the 10th time this season, posting 14 points in the victory. Nico Carvacho finished two points shy of a double-double after hauling in 13 rebounds, his third consecutive game with dou-
ble-digit boards. All in all, seven different Rams finished with four-plus fouls as Carvacho, Deion James and Anthony Bonner fouled out. Wyoming’s Cody Kelley fouled out and three other Cowboys finished with four fouls. CSU made 75.9 percent of its free throws (22-of-29) and Wyoming connected on 73.8 percent of its opportunities (31-of42). CSU’s next tilt will come on Wednesday at 7 p.m. when they host the Air Force Falcons. The Rams have yet to earn a conference victory at home this season, losing to San Diego State and Fresno State.

CSU ATHLETICS
Winter roundup: What you missed in CSU athletics over break By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_
Though students at Colorado State enjoyed a month off from classes between first and second semester, the schools’ athletic programs stayed busy over the break. The men’s basketball, women’s basketball and swimming, diving teams continued their seasons while the indoor track and field season began. The football program also
made some noise during the beginning of its offseason. Here is everything you need to know from the last month of CSU athletics. Grace Colaivalu emerges as difference maker for women’s hoops Having lost two of the most influential players in the history of CSU women’s basketball, the program had an unusual amount of question marks entering the 2017-18 season. Redshirt freshman Grace Colaivalu
quieted some of those concerns by emerging as a legitimate scorer throughout conference play. The Sacramento, California native is averaging a team-high 18.0 points per game in conference play, highlighted by a 29-point performance against San Diego State on Jan. 3 during which she made a last-second layup to give the Rams a victory. CSU is 3-3 in the Mountain West, good for fifth place in the conference standings. Men’s basketball gaining momentum in the MW After concluding a non-conference play with a last-second victory over Long Beach State on Dec. 23, CSU has been a mixed bag through six conference matchups. Despite only winning one of their first four games on the conference schedule, the Rams are riding a two-game winning streak to pull even at 3-3. Junior Prentiss Nixon has led the Rams despite playing through a knee injury he suffered on Jan. 2. The guard is a threat on both ends of the floor, leading the team with 18.2 points and 1.67 steals per contest. All three of the Rams’ conference victories have come on the road as they, too, are tied for fifth place in the MW. Football program rounding out coaching staff The coaching carousel at CSU was in full-speed over the last month as multiple coaches came and left Fort Collins. The biggest news came when former Alabama defensive backs coach Derrick Ansley agreed in principle to become CSU’s defensive coordinator on the morning of the National Championship. Days later, however, tides turned as the promising young coach agreed to join Jon Gruden in the
NFL as the cornerbacks coach of the Oakland Raiders. After losing his man, head coach Mike Bobo went back to his southern routes to bring aboard former colleague John Jancek. Jancek worked with Bobo at Georgia as the linebackers coach before serving as the defensive coordinator at Cincinnati and Tennessee, spending three years with each program. His latest position was as a defensive analyst at Kentucky. Though the university has yet to release an official statement on the potential hiring, Jancek has updated his Twitter handle to @CSUCoachJancek, saying he is the defensive coordinator for CSU in his bio. Meanwhile, Tennessee and CSU continue to intertwine themselves in each other’s coaching search. Former CSU offensive coordinator Will Friend and cornerbacks coach Terry Fair both accepted positions at Tennessee prior to the team’s bowl game loss against Marshall. According to FootballScoop.com, CSU tight ends coach Joe Cox also interviewed with Tennessee for a potential opening. To fill the void left by Fair, CSU intends to hire Tennessee quality control assistant Eric Lewis, according to a report by The Athletic. Per his Twitter bio, the Rams have also hired former Ohio offensive line coach Dave Johnson to the same position. Track and field enters indoor season among best in nation The CSU men’s track and field team entered the indoor season ranked No. 6 in the nation by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches’ Association. The ranking is the highest in program history in ei-
ther indoor or outdoor track & field. After finishing last season ranked No. 12 in the nation, the Rams return many of the same difference makers. Senior Mostafa Hassan returns in the shot put as one of the most successful athletes in CSU history. During last year’s indoor season, Hassan not only finished with the best shot put in the MW, he finished with No. 4 mark in the world. Distance runners Grant Fischer and Cole Rockhold and combined events athletes Hunter Price and Nick Kravec are all likely to compete for All-America honors in their respective events. Rams’ football well-represented in collegiate all-star games Six former CSU football players were selected to play in postseason all-star games. Defensive tackle Darnell Thompson already participated in the Tropical Bowl on Jan. 14 alongside other top talents in the nation. Running back Dalyn Dawkins and offensive tackle Zack Golditch both accepted invites to play in the National Football League Players Association Collegiate Bowl on Jan. 20. The familiar tandem of center Jake Bennett and quarterback Nick Stevens will team up once more during the East-West Shrine Game on Jan. 20. Wide receiver Michael Gallup rounds out the participants with his participation in the Reese’s Senior Bowl. One of the most heralded collegiate all-star games, the Senior Bowl, takes place on Jan. 27 at 9:30 p.m. MT and can be seen on NFL Network. Colin Barnard can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Horticulture Club shares love of plants with students By Julia Trowbridge @chaplin_jules
Students often use succulents to spice up their dorm room or apartment. Colorado State University’s Horticulture Club sells various small houseplants and succulents, plants that do not require as much water and care, at the LSC Flea Market on occasional Fridays to share their love for plants and to fundraise for club events.
HORTICULTURE CLUB MEETINGS ■ First and third Thursdays at 5
p.m., Shepardson 212
Plant Sales ■ Some Fridays from 9 a.m. –
3 p.m., LSC Flea Market
The Horticulture Club gets their small plants in plug trays, which helps them grow more of their plants in a smaller area. Grown in the University’s greenhouse and cared for during club meetings, the club members raise these succulents until they are ready to be sold
to students. The prices start at around $5 and most do not exceed $20, depending on the plant. The club mostly sells succulents and houseplants because they are easiest for students to keep alive in environments like dorms, according to Ariana Feist, a senior studying horticulture and greenhouse manager for the Horticulture Club. The plant sales take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Fridays when the club has enough plants to sell. The club posts when the sales are happening on their Facebook page. The fundraising goes towards general costs of club meetings, a scholarship fund for students in Horticulture club and the club’s trip to the Mid-America Collegiate Horticulture Society’s competition, when horticulture clubs compete on their plant knowledge. The MACHS competition allows students to travel to other parts of the country, learn about plant industry in the area and meet other plant enthusiasts from different universities. As well as plant sales, the Horticulture club puts on a terrarium-making event, when students get to select glass and decor to create an environment for succulents to live in. The an-
Paul Furnas, Horticulture Club president, and Abby Niemer sell succulents and small house plants at the LSC Flea Market to fund raise for club events. PHOTO BY JULIA TROWBRIDGE COLLEGIAN
nual terrarium-making event takes place in mid-March. Club members encourage students to show interest in the event to ensure they have enough supplies. Students are encouraged to participate, whether or not they are interested in joining the club. “We’re just a bunch of plant-loving people selling plants,” said Kate Border, a
sophomore art student and historian for the horticulture club. “Even if you’re not interested in Horticulture Club, it’s a good time, and you get a terrarium.” The succulent and house plant sales take place at the LSC Flea Market, outside the upper level of the CSU Bookstore. “We’re a club that’s open to all people interested in plants,”
Feist said. “We have guest lectures, trips like going to the Western Slope and we look at stuff in the industry and in nature. We’re just a close-knit group of kids who love plants.” Julia Trowbridge can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com

5 performers coming to the Aggie this spring By Henry Netherland @Netherland_Henry
Fort Collins’ own Aggie Theatre offers dozens of concerts spanning a variety of genres.

In an age when rock and blues has passed its prime, the Oregon rocker has not only survived as an artist but also thrived. Prepare to be amazed by her raw talent and vocal abilities. She is scheduled to perform Thursday, Feb. 1. Todd Barry Todd Barry is a veteran standup comedian and actor. For over 30 years, he has kept audiences entertained with his unique use of deadpan humor.

ment industry. He is scheduled to perform Saturday, Feb. 3. Joyner Lucas / Dizzy Wright An interesting combination to say the least, Joyner Lucas is an up-and-coming conscious rapper coming off his most popular and most controversial single, “I’m Not Racist.” The powerful message of the song implemented perfectly into the accompanying video has shown Lucas to be an artist to keep an eye out for in 2018. Dizzy Wright may not be the most well-known rapper in the contemporary rap landscape, however, his technical proficiency and lyricism are nothing to be overlooked. While it seems to be an odd fit at first, after looking deeper into their music, it just makes sense. Both are scheduled to perform Saturday, Feb. 10. Afroman The self-described one-hit
wonder is back in Fort Collins. Appropriately scheduled close to the holiest of holidays, 4/20, this show is a must-see for stoners. Afroman is far from your average rapper. Expect spectacular guitar performances accompanied by smooth singing. This will be one of the chillest concerts of 2017, but nothing to sleep on. He is scheduled to perform Saturday, Apr. 21. Motionless In White Despite their pleasant melodies, Motionless In White is not for the faint of heart. With their dark and moody style, the metalcore quintet is sure to unleash their reign of doom and gloom upon the Aggie Theatre stage. The band is scheduled to perform Sunday, Feb. 25.
