Conference for marginalized youth funded by RHA By Jorge Espinoza @jorgespinoza14

#MeToo is a historic movement for women, but some men may struggle with how to be allies in relation to this moment in time. To address men’s relationship with #MeToo, Colorado State University’s Men in the Movement and ROTC hosted an Open Event to discuss the topic, called “#MeToo and Men.”
“There’s confusion among men who want to do better,” said Carl Olsen, the coordinator of men’s programming and violence prevention with the Women and Gender Advocacy Center. “They’re confused by the power of #MeToo movement, and this is a space for men to grapple with what’s hard for men to discuss.” The Open Events are hosted once a month by Men in the Movement. Previous
topics have included “WTF is the friend zone” and “Men and Depression.” Monday’s event began with Olsen leading the audience in a discussion of what #MeToo meant to them. Students discussed #MeToo’s status as a campaign against sexual violence, with one individual referring to it as “a movement to bring sexual violence to light and show how common it is.” The group then discussed
their reactions to the movement. Some felt that it was largely dominated by a concept known as white feminism—an ignorance of women of color within feminist ideals—and also “men covering their asses.” Olsen discussed how #MeToo created a stereotype for men, something they may not have faced before. see #METOO on page 13 >>
Undocumented and marginalized students will get an inclusive idea of what attending college is like as part of a youth leadership conference, after the Colorado State Residence Hall Association passed a bill to fund the event Monday night. The bill, sponsored by Beta Gamma Nu Fraternity, passed with a 17-6-0 Monday evening. The conference will have a variety of different workshops intended to allow prospective students to make connections while also providing a good understanding of how to navigate college, Matthew Mason, bill author and Beta Gamma Nu member, said. The conference will bring students from the Mapleton Public School District in Denver, a district that many members of the Beta Gamma Nu Fraternity attended, as a way to give back to the community at large. Quentin Heuvel, an RHA senator, said funding this conference is important as it allows prospective students to envision themselves in college when they may have never done so before. “I have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and I was always told that because of that I would never be able to focus enough to get into a good college,” Heuvel said. “Through a program called Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID), I got to go to conferences like these, see RHAon page 5 >>

Colorado election changes brings primary voting to unaffiliated voters By Audrey Weiss @audkward
In 2016, Colorado voters passed a ballot measure granting unaffiliated voters the opportunity to participate in the primaries. In this year’s state election, these changes will come into effect both on a local and statewide front. Unaffiliated voters have been excluded from the primaries in past elections, Larimer County clerk and recorder Angela Myers said. With recent changes to the Colorado election process, however, independent voters will receive both the Democrat and Republican ballots. The purpose of this change is to give the opportunity for unaffiliated voters to have a say in the outcome of the parties, as they have not been allowed that right in the past, said Kristin Stephens, Fort Collins city councilmember and chair of the election subcommittee. Previously, unaffiliated voters would not receive a ballot unless they requested one, Myers said. “In the past, the parties alone would be the ones to select their
candidates,” Myers said. “Now, unaffiliated voters will have the opportunity to contribute their vote.” With these recent changes, unaffiliated voters will receive both ballots and will have the opportunity to select the candidate they please. Myers stressed that while unaffiliated voters will receive both ballots, they will only be permitted to vote for one of the parties and will send back only one ballot. “This may be a little confusing because unaffiliated voters will get both ballots,” Stephens said. Myers said if voters return both the Democrat and Republican ballots with votes in each, then neither will be counted towards the election. For this reason, voters must select only one party to put their vote towards and mail back only that ballot. In addition, when unaffiliated voters do place their vote and select some party, their vote will be recorded. Myers said state law requires this step. These votes will be recorded in the voter registration database, but will not assign a party to the
unaffiliated voter and are merely for data information purposes. On a local front, the Fort Collins election process—which does not include primaries or parties as it is a nonpartisan election—will move towards greater candidate transparency, according to Stephens. “People want to know where the money comes from and where the money is going,” Stephens said. Fort Collins City Councilmember Ross Cunniff reiterated this point, saying he thinks this change will allow the public to better see how money is being spent and where funding is coming from. “Since I’ve been on Council I have been advocating for continuous improvement in our election process,” Cunniff said. Cunniff stressed transparency during his term, including the City Council’s move to email transparency. Stephens said in previous elections, signatures have been checked for confirmation, but have not been scanned. Now, ballots will include a required signature that will be checked with a software program to assure identities and prevent

voter fraud. Cunniff said he thinks this will benefit transparency and simplicity. “We have wanted to move this way for a while, but were not able to share data with the county for doing this verification,” Cunniff said. “The recent law changes will allow the country to share their signature data with us, enabling us to do signature verification on our mail ballots. “
Voter registration is available online and in person in the state of Colorado for residents with a Department of Revenue issued Colorado State ID or license. Myers emphasized the importance of voting. “I encourage all folks who are eligible to vote to do so,” Myers said. Audrey Weiss can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Hyde to lecture on science of gender differences, similarities By Samantha Ye @samxye4
Differences between men and women have been exaggerated to the detriment of all involved, according to Janet Hyde, professor of psychology and women’s studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Hyde, a gender psychologist, will give a
lecture on the science of gender differences and similarities from 1 to 1:50 p.m. on Wednesday, April 11 in the Cherokee Ballroom of the Lory Student Center. In 2005 Hyde proposed her “Gender Similarities Hypothesis,” which states men and women are more psychologically alike than they are different. Using metaanalytical techniques, Hyde
had found that across dozens of studies, gender had little to no effect on personality, cognitive ability or leadership, according to the American Psychological Association. Her work challenged the belief which, despite the lack of evidence, assumed fundamental differences between genders. Hyde hopes the evidence that men and women have

Student Fee Review Board hears technology, RDS fees By Charlotte Lang @chartrickwrites
Representatives from the University Technology Fee Advisory Board and the Committee for Disabled Student Accessibility presented their fee proposals to the Student Fee Review Board Monday evening. Blair MacNeil, Chair of UTFAB, and Jason Huitt presented their organization’s proposal. UTFAB asked for no increases and said they were good to stay at their current fee of $25 per semester for full-time students. MacNeil said UTFAB has not asked for an increase for approximately five years, making it likely that they will have an increase in the future as mandatory costs go up. “We have been able to avoid those costs due to enrollment increases but we’re cutting it kind of close,” MacNeil said. Huitt also said an increase in enrolled students has helped UTFAB to pay off mandatory costs, but it is not something they can rely on for much longer. “With respect to future year increases, it is highly possible that at some point we will have to come back and ask for a fee increase,” Huitt said. “We have continued to rely on enrollment growth but that’s uncertain.” Other uncertainties for UTFAB include the technology environment. “Technology changes rapidly,” Huitt said. “We have relied on discretionary funding every year to address needs as they arise in a year.” MacNeil and Huitt also answered a question on what areas of campus UTFAB covers

with funds. The two said places like the Lory Student Center, Morgan Library and general assignment classrooms— classrooms unclaimed by a specific college— are covered. “We try to use the funds as responsibly as possible so that it has an impact for as many students as possible,” MacNeil said in regards to partnering with specific colleges for funding certain classrooms. Rosemary Kreston represented the CDSA in the organization’s proposal for a fee increase of $2.24. Kreston said this is a result of two new positions CDSA is looking to fill: office manager/receptionist and accommodations specialist. “These two positions would really help our office do a better job in what we do. Adding another specialist would allow us to meet with many students on a more
timely basis,” Kreston said. “Last semester, the specialists that we had were booked in seeing students throughout the semester because there were so many students.” Kreston said they are currently looking for someone with expertise in mental health, as this an increasingly prevalent issue at Colorado State University. The office manager is a position also needed to help better coordinate appointment schedules, Kreston said. The increase would help to pay for the currently calculated salaries of both positions. The board voted on CDSA, as well as last week’s proposals for the Career Center and the Alternative Transportation Fee Advisory Board (ATFAB). All were approved.

Bathoom key cards locked following peeping tom incident By Meagan Stackpool @chartrickwrites
A peeping tom incident in a community bathroom in Westfall Hall last semester led Housing and Dining Services to restrict residents’ proxy key card access to bathrooms not on their floor. Some residents experienced restricted access immediately following the peeping tom incident. Two days after the incident, residents were notified of the key card access change via email. Director of Residence Life Laura Giles, and Director of Operations Management, Laura Alexander, explained in the email that key card access was limited to “bathroom access to the resident’s floor only.” Residents in Durward Hall received an email stating it had been “implemented in Durward as of Monday,” two days after their proxies had already been locked. Residents in Laurel Village received a similar email on the same day stating it “will be implemented in Laurel Village in the next day or two.” Residents living in community style dorms were no longer able to access other floors bathrooms while theirs were being cleaned. The email from Alexander and Giles explained the preexisting access system, in which a log of bathroom entry was already provided for each floor, should issues arise. Assistant Director of Residence Life John Malsam commented on the locking of proxies in an email to The Collegian. “While we have received both positive feedback and some concerns from residents about this change in access, we must always make our
residents’ safety our number one priority,” Malsam wrote. Residents still had access to their floor’s bathroom of an opposite gender, to allow for guests. One potential resolution was the pairing of floor’s bathrooms. Proxy access would be widened to the floors immediately above or below students’ own floor. In a phone interview, Malsam explained why pairing floors is not possible. “(Bathroom) cleaning schedules are close together and schedules are posted for students to see and plan accordingly,” Malsam said. Bathroom cleaning schedules often happen during the morning, when students are waking up and getting ready for class. Breanna Lancaster, a residence assistant for the eleventh floor in Westfall Hall, spoke for her floor. “If people needed to use the restroom during our cleaning time ... they would normally just go up or down one floor to use that restroom space,” Lancaster wrote in an email to The Collegian. “However, with the policy change, students were forced to either wait for the (staff ) to be done cleaning and risk being late for various engagements or go to the first floor lobby to use the restroom/ brush their teeth.” Marianne Wieghaus, the associate director of Communications for Housing and Dining Services, wrote in an email to The Collegian part of the rationale behind the decision. “This change still allows us to support access for guests and those of various gender identities while strengthening our safety and security protocol,” Wieghaus wrote.

Opponents of the bill claimed that since the bill does not directly affect current residents the bill should not be funded by RHA. Proponents of the bill, like Heuvel, said even though this specific bill does not directly impact current residents, impacting future residents is just as important. “I know just how impactful those programs can be,” Heuvel said. “We may not be impacting current residents, but we are impacting future residents by making sure that we’re inspiring tomorrow’s students today.” Kyra Ferguson, RHA President, said passing this bill could change the way that RHA thinks about bills, as it places emphasis on making more of an impact on campus culture. “I think it has a lot of potential to change how RHA thinks about bills. It was a question of, ‘If this doesn’t directly impact residents, what impact does it have?’” Ferguson said. “I think that’s going to change how we think about bills, and I hope that it’s going to change the campus culture and what we want to

Homelessness is a public health problem Michelle Fredrickson
Having plugged ears for several days.
@mfredrickson42
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. Homelessness is growing in Fort Collins, with more than 350 people being homeless at the end of last year. A recent report from The Collegian indicated that healthcare was among many dire needs not met for the rising homeless population. People experiencing homelessness are among the least able to access care, and the most likely to contract disease. The US healthcare system prices out the impoverished, and ends up closing off to the population that needs it the most. Disease outbreaks are common in homeless populations, as are serious mental health conditions, and the people experiencing them are unable to access the care they need. The American Public Health Association refers to homelessness as a “recalcitrant public health problem” in the United States. In Fort Collins, organizations like the Mennonite Fellowship and Homeward 2020 are working to provide needed services for the community, alongside Catholic Charities and the Fort Collins Rescue Mission. But more needs to be done to address the health needs of the homeless population. These unmet needs result in outbreaks of completely preventable conditions, as well as increased use of emergency departments and hospitalizations — which would then result in the person being slapped with a bill they could never hope to afford. In San Diego last year, there was a persistent outbreak of hepatitis A in the homeless population, claiming 15 lives. It likely happened because the homeless population was forced to relocate into smaller, denser camps for the All Star baseball game. “I’m not so much surprised it occurred, but surprised it didn’t occur earlier,” said Dr. Robert Schooley, chair of the division of infectious diseases at the University of California, San Diego, in an interview with PBS.

Unsanitary conditions spread diseases like hepatitis A very quickly and make it hard to recover from. But it’s not just infectious disease outbreaks that disproportionately affect the homeless population. Mental health issues co-occur with homelessness in people about half the time, and people lack the resources to get services. In Fort Collins, a man experiencing homelessness, 49-year-old Kurt Schroeder, struggles with anxiety attacks and no longer is able to see a doctor about them. He said when he gets seriously sick, he goes to the emergency room. This is an unfair system. Something about this needs to change. In order to correct the problem entirely, the whole system of homelessness would have to be addressed, which would mean providing accessible housing to everyone and accessible healthcare to everyone. This is unlikely to happen anytime soon. Yes, we need job programs. Yes, we need affordable housing. But in a much more immediate sense, we need to combat the inequity making people completely unable to access
care. Until these systematic societal changes can be made, organizations and non-profits need to step up. There are a lot of great organizations in Fort Collins dedicated to helping the homeless population, but I only found one organization offering free care in Fort Collins - Christ Clinic, a 501c3 with two locations in Fort Collins - and they do not accept walk-ins, nor are they specially designed to deal with the health struggles brought on by homelessness. As it is, Christ Clinic is doing really good, important work. But with a growing homeless population, one clinic with two locations cannot match the need for the whole community of people experiencing homelessness as well as other low-income, uninsured people. The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless offers a clinic specifically designed for the homeless population in Denver, where people using their services can access free healthcare. Efforts should be made by some of the many wonderful organizations working to end homelessness
in Fort Collins to bring this organization, or something like it, to Fort Collins. Additionally, Homeward 2020 is on the right path with gathering more data about homelessness in Fort Collins. It is critical that the population at risk have a seat at the table and have power to make changes to the system, and by working on informationgathering, Homeward 2020 can empower the population to work toward the change they want to see. Organizations in Fort Collins already do a great job of working with the homeless population, instead of just projecting onto them. They need to take that skill and apply it to more readilyavailable access to healthcare. Every human being has a right to access the treatment and care that they need, just like every human being deserves to have a roof over their head and to know where their next meal is coming from. None of these things are a reality for those experiencing homelessness, and it is costing people their lives. Michelle Fredrickson can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

In 1978, Bill Wright, owner of the Wright Life, was a student at CSU with a serious addiction to all things disc. So much so, that he formed the first ultimate frisbee club team on campus called Grateful Disc, a tip of the cap to the ultimate jam band the Grateful Dead. Some other teams sprouted up with such names as Instant Karma and ultimate frisbee was off and running on campus. Once again, CSU found itself on the cutting edge of a new movement. Ultimate frisbee would take off not only here locally but all around the world.
“Ultimate Frisbee is a fast paced sport played on a field similar in size to football and soccer. Players pass the frisbee to each other, scoring by passing a catch in the end zone. Any pass that goes out of bounds, hits the ground or is intercepted by the other team results in a turnover, with play now going towards the other end zone. Ultimate is unique in its self-officiating and what we call the “Spirit of the Game” -competition is important, but never over a spirit of fair play and sportsmanship.”

The simplicity of the rules of the game and the self -officiating aspect make it an easy “pick up” game that tends to draw athletes from the other major sports looking for a challenge. Ultimate frisbee has not only gained a foothold locally but internationally as well. It was added to the World Games in 2001 and continues as a sport in those games today. Currently, Ultimate is played by an estimated 100,000+ players in over 30 countries. The Ultimate Players Association (USA) reports an overall membership of 13,000+ dues-paying members. With the recognition of the World Flying Disc Federation by the the International Olympic Committee in 2015 and the addition of co-ed events at recent Olympics, ultimate frisbee fans are more hopeful than ever that their sport will be given demonstration sports status soon.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
We do not owe conservatives an apology By Alex Scott @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. Alex Scott works for KCSU. Dear editor, This letter is in response to the letter to the editor ‘Conservative students deserve an apology.’ Lately there has been a chorus of cries for apologies to be given to “conservative” students on campus from people like CJ Ash. This begs the question of why? Why do these groups as a whole deserve an apology? There has only been one group named. They were named by a coalition of students, led by Students Against White Supremacy, who did their research and who decided that Turning Point USA needed to be
removed from campus. They have been named for very specific reasons: their track record of interference in campus elections and their record of bringing violence on to campuses across the nation through speakers that wrap the words of white supremacy in the facade of respectable conservative politics. Campus conservatives would do well to note that there have been no calls to remove the College Republicans or other conservatives groups from this campus. SAWS and other groups have taken a critical look at the conservative ideasthat are held by these groups. We have done what conservatives have been screaming for liberals to do on campuses across the nation. We took a critical look at political ideas. And we took what we found to our campus community. We said “look at what they are saying. Look at what ideas like these could lead to,” and then we asked our community “what do you think
about these ideas? Is this what you agree with?” Apparently our campus found that these ideas did not mix with what they believed our campus community is. So I ask again, what is there to apologize for? Why do any student groups owe an apology for engaging with political ideas and opening a wider conversation on our campus? The answer is we don’t. We do not owe the conservative groups on campus an apology. In fact, it would do a disservice to the conservative groups to apologize for a critique of their ideas. If they really did want a free discussion of ideas they should welcome us into our campus space. They shouldn’t be begging and sniveling for an apology. They should come out into the light of day and speak their ideas with the true force of belief that is required of people who firmly believe their ideas can face critical analysis. We cannot allow ideas into the public sphere without the critical lens being applied to them.

Elon Musk to attend CSU in fall By Ty Betts @TyBetts9
Editor’s note: This is a satire piece from The Collegian’s opinion section. Real names may be used in fictitious/semifictitious ways. Those who do not read editor’s notes are subject to being offended. The CEO of Tesla, Space-X, and pioneer of PayPal finally received an answer from Colorado State University admissions; Elon Musk is all set to attend CSU in the fall of 2018. Billionaire entrepreneur and engineer Elon Musk has decided to take a few years off from his business and scientific endeavors to expand his education with a bachelor’s degree from CSU. “I wanted to go back to school for a couple reasons,” Musk said. “Part of it is definitely to build my résumé, but it’s also to get a taste of the college experience that I didn’t fully appreciate during my time at the University of Pennsylvania.” Musk is entering as an undeclared student but said he is leaning towards the College of Liberal Arts. Musk also said that despite his age difference to most of the student body, he still plans to be heavily involved.

“I might join a frat,” Musk said. “I think I’ll have to if I want to get into any parties.” Although Musk said it has always been his dream to come to CSU, he has showed some frustrations with the acceptance process. “They put me in Ingersoll Hall,” Musk said. “I’d rather live in my car.” Additional complications include Musk being placed in an introductory PACe math course. Musk neglected to take
the placement exam by the deadline and is now unable to test out of the 100-level math prerequisites. As Musk plans for the coming semester, he is eagerly looking for a suitable roommate. “Preferably someone who’s 4/20 friendly,” Musk said. “I’m also not a neat freak but it would be nice to keep the room somewhat clean.” Ty Betts can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

These demands for apologies are disingenuous acts to shield ideas from the critical examination they demand. What are conservatives afraid of? Are they afraid that if their ideas receive the examinations needed that they will crumble? Because if they are not, then they need to stop demanding apologies they have no right to. Let the ideas stand on their own, argue
for them from a place of sincerity and passion. Not from this place of manufactured victimhood. Signed, Alex Scott, Member, CSU Young Democratic Socialists of America Member, Students Against White Supremacy Letters to the editor may be submitted to letters@collegian.com.

TENNIS
Rams reach 10-win plateau for first time since 2007 By Michelle Gould @michellegouldd
Following a grueling weekend of traveling, the Colorado State women’s tennis team picked up its first Mountain West victory against Air Force after dropping their dual to New Mexico. This win was significantly special for the Rams as it was their 10th win of the season, the most in a regular season since 2007. The Rams began their weekend in New Mexico to face the Lobos for a road match at the McKinnon Family Tennis Stadium on Friday. With doubles to begin the matchup, Emily Kolbow and Riley Reeves set the tone defeating Natasha Munday and Diana Wong at No. 2, 6-2. With a strong lead by their teammates, Alyssa Grijalva and Priscilla Palermo rallied to a tiebreak against Hsiang-Wen Huang and Danielle Quevedo, 6-6. However, the Ram duo eventually lost the tiebreaker and the match against the Lobos. Emily Luetschwager and Emma Corwin were unable to clinch the team point as they also fell to their Lobo opponents, Lauren Rich and Bronte Murgett, 6-2. Moving onto singles, Emily Luetschwager showed off her skills with a victory over Ruth Copas, 6-2, 6-2. Luetschwager’s win was the only victory for the Rams in singles play and capped her 11th individual victory of the season, the second-most on the Rams’ roster. “Doubles was real close, and Emily (Luetschwager) had a great win in singles,” coach Jarod Camerota said. “We had some close singles matches that we left out there. We just need to keep working and believing and we will be fine.” With Camerota’s optimism and grit embraced by the players,
the Rams continued their road trip to Colorado Springs to face off against another Mountain West opponent, Air Force. “We need to continue to play with emotional maturity and just be a little more solid than today,” Camerota said of his players. CSU’s depth in doubles competition proved successful once again against the Air Force Falcons, with players taking Camerota’s words to heart. Grijalva and Palermo fought hard against TJ Fumagalli and Elizabeth Barnickel, ultimately clinching a win at No. 1 for the Rams, 7-5. The freshman phenom duo consisting of Corwin and Luetschwager secured CSU’s team point, dominating against Carley Hatcliff and Meredith Laskey, 6-3. CSU fueled off this win, with their first league victory in sight. Corwin led singles play at No. 6 against Falcon Clarissa Jolley, adding to the winning momentum, 6-1, 6-2. Reeves extended the Ram lead to 3-0, besting her competitor 6-1, 6-2. To secure the Rams’ first MW victory, Grijalva quickly defeated Laskey, 6-1, 6-3 as Kolbow followed right behind to claim an additional singles win against Ashleigh Harvey. “We’ve been so close,” Camerota said, reflecting on CSU’s challenging league slate to this point. “We knew we had to just keep competing and working hard and the wins would eventually come. This feels good, and I’m really proud of the team.” The Rams will return home April 19 and 22 to conclude their regular season against non-conference opponent Northern Colorado and MW rival Wyoming, respectively.

CLUB BASEBALL
Rams sweep Colorado School of Mines to continue winning streak By Sergio Santistevan @TheRealsSergio
The Colorado State club baseball team is getting hot at the right time as the Rams swept Colorado School of Mines in a three-game weekend series to build a ninegame winning streak. In the first game against Mines, held at Double Angel Field in Parker, Colorado, the Rams were led by starting Pitcher Phelan Castellano. Castellano dominated the eight-inning game with a 14-2 victory. Lately, Castellano has been a hot-hand on the mound for the Rams. “Ever since Arizona, we have had really nothing to lose,” Castellano said. “You can sleep on us if you want, but we are still CSU baseball.” Sunday’s doubleheader took place at Northglenn High School in Northglenn, Colorado. In the first game, Jared Van Vark started on the mound and continued the Rams’ pitching success. Van Vark led CSU to an 11-1 victory. “The pitching staff is a big part of our team and can often set the tone for the game,” said Van Vark. “Just trying to go out there and let my defense work so that we can get in the
dugout and get the bats going is all I really try to do.” The pitching staff has been exceptional during the Rams’ winning streak, leading to offense success. Castellano and Van Vark credit this year’s pitching staff for being the most talented they have been a part of. “I thought we had a good pitching staff last year but I think this year is even more talented,” Van Vark said. “It is definitely loaded with guys who have been to regionals and nationals before and are hungry to get back.” In the last game of the series, the pitching slowed down for the Rams; however, the offense stepped up and led the team to a 19-8 win and a clean sweep over Mines. Castellano said the pitchers controlled the tone of the game this year, which hasn’t been the case in the past. Van Vark knows that the pitching staff wants to allow as few runs as possible before the Rams’ offense gets going. Once the offense is firing, they are a difficult team to beat. Throughout the season, CSU has relied on the word “fortitude.” This young Rams team has overcome many
challenges thus far, but Castellano knows the work isn’t finished. “We have to take it one game at a time and to play hard every play, every pitch,” Castellano said. “We cannot look over any opponent from here on out, but we have to continue to play our game, leading with fortitude.” CSU will look to continue their winning streak on April 14-15 with a four-game conference series with the University of Northern Colorado at City Park Field in Fort Collins. Van Vark is excited for the upcoming series versus UNC. He knows to achieve their ultimate goal of winning a national championship, the Rams have to achieve their first goal of winning conference. As the season approaches an end, CSU controls their own fate while defending their Mid-America West Conference Title. “Ever since our trip to Arizona we have been playing like we should be,” Van Vark said. “Our team is closer than ever, and we all have our sights on the same target.” Sergio Santistevan can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

TRACK & FIELD
Distance crew shines for Rams during Colorado Invite By Mamadou Balde @mamadoubalde62
The Colorado State track and field team continued action at the Colorado Invite hosted by the University of Colorado last weekend. The meet was originally scheduled to take place on Friday and Saturday, but Friday events were pushed to Saturday due to inclement weather. The distance crew shined for the Rams as they took top spots in multiple events. Senior Jalen Hunter was the top collegian in the men’s 110-meter hurdles and set a personal best with his time of 14.21. Hunter’s time now sits eighth on CSU’s all-time list. In the women’s 100-meter hurdles, Destinee Rocker placed first and dusted the competition, winning by more than half a second with her time of 13.50. The Lithonia, Georgia native and Lorenda Holston are the only Rams to run a faster time in the event. “We had seen some good practices out of Jalen and were hoping it would be translated
in a meet,” distance coach Karim Abdel Wahab said in a statement. “He made it happen today and hopefully it’ll be the start of many better marks to come. Destinee has been very consistent with minimal wind today, running a 13.50. We’re really hoping that with better competition later in the season that she can run another PR.” In his 800 meters collegiate debut, Cole Rockhold placed fourth and his time (1:51.15) ranks 17th on CSU’s all-time list. In the 1,500 meters, junior Carson Hume placed seventh with a time of 3:52.53. In the women’s 1,500 meters Dominique Ward placed third with a time of 4:33.35. Jessica Ozoude won the 400 meters by over a second at 55.99. Lettia Wilson also took first in the women’s 100 meters with a time of 11.97. The Rams took the men’s and women’s crown in the 4x100-meters relay. The men finished with a time of 42.32 while the women finished with a time of 45.41 to round out the distance crew’s weekend. CSU took the top three

spots in the women’s hammer. Linnea Jonnson won the event with a season-best mark of 61.03 meters. Kelcey Bedard took second with her mark of 60.77 meters. Aimee Larrabee set a personal best to take the third spot with her mark of 58.55 meters. To go along with her second-place hammer finish, Bedard won the discus with a mark of 50.48 meters. Finishing second in the discus was Maria Muzzio, who threw a personal best 49.10 meters. Muzzio also placed as the top collegian in the women’s shot put, registering a mark of 14.52 meters. “I would give our team a ‘C’ if I was to grade them,” head coach Brian Bedard said. “I think our coaches trained our athletes through this meet a little bit, and we looked like it. In other cases, we may not have been as focused as we needed to be. We did have some personal-best performances, so I don’t want to ignore that. We did have some positive things today. I thought certain event groups looked tired or

ACT HUMAN RIGHTS FILM FESTIVAL
‘Freedom for the Wolf’ brings the impact By Maddie Wright @maddierwright
Freedoms are not always guaranteed. “Freedom for the Wolf” tells the story of five countries and different social movements. From Hong Kong, Tunisia, India, Japan and the United States, it looks at movements on all sorts of scales and how the government fights back. The movie’s title comes from a quote by philosopher Isaiah Berlin about democracy in crisis: “Freedom for the wolves have often meant death to the sheep.” The film is visually striking and thematically impactful. The graphic design, editing and how the stories are stitched together creates an appealing and illustrative take on democracy, freedom, police states, censorship and more. There are examples of the power of student organization as a way to disrupt the public and encourage change. There are examples of rap as a form of resistance. There are examples of censorship for YouTubers and podcast comedians. There are examples of the police state in the United States. There are examples straight out of the town in “Footloose” where dancing was banned in an area in Japan.
“Well, for me, one of the biggest takeaways from the film is to just not take for granted the status quo. The freedoms that we have; we have to fight for them, even though we may think they’re guaranteed in some way, they’re not.” CAMILLA HALL
‘FREEDOM FOR THE WOLF’ PRODUCER
This film shows so many frustrating things that make the viewer so angry at the world at times, but it also evokes empowerment in that there is hope, there is strength in numbers, there is something we as the “sheep” can do. And that action is happening all over the world. “This is an overwhelming film in so many different ways, it crosses borders, it’s set in various corners of the world, not just here in the United States,” said moderator and communication studies professor David Scott
Diffrient. “And I felt angry, but I also felt weirdly hopeful as well just by virtue of seeing some of the protest movements around the world.” After the screening, there was a talk with the two film producers, Camilla Hall and Patrick Hamm.
ENCORE SCREENING OF ‘FREEDOM FOR THE WOLF’ ■ When: Thursday, April 12 6:30

One thing discussed was the ending of the film. The film ends with footage of women’s marches across the world that happened after President Trump was elected. As this footage is played, the audio is of one of Trump’s speeches. The contrast of Trump’s message to the people played on top of film of protest essentially against him was ridiculously impactful, giving the audience a sense of pure “whoa.” And it almost didn’t make it in the film. “There was an early version of this film that we had finished in the early fall of 2016 just prior to the U.S. election,” Hamm said. “And at that point we were planning to pitch it as ‘this could happen in America’ and weeks later it did. And then we went out and reshot the ending.” The film itself was an experience to say the least for the filmmakers in all they had to overcome and endure to make it happen and share it with the world. “(Freedom for the Wolf) is the product of a long journey,” Hamm said. “We took over three years to film it. There were various times when we thought this film would never be finished, in part because we got detained, and tear gassed and arrested again, and so it’s been quite the journey.” Freedom is something precious that this film focuses on. It takes a look at the illusion of democracy, illiberal democracy, consumer freedom and more. It looks at how these show up in different parts of the world and the impact they have. “Well, for me, one of the biggest takeaways from the film is to just not take for granted the status quo,” Hall said. “The freedoms that we have; we have to fight for them, even though we may think they’re guaranteed in some way, they’re not.” Maddie Wright can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.
#MeToo >> from page 1 “Men have previously had the luxury of not being associated with the actions of other men,” Olsen said. “We saw this kind of thing after 9/11 when people were targets for hate crimes based on their religion.” Following the discussion, Olsen scribbled four words on the whiteboard: Awareness, Knowledge, Skills and Action. Olsen then explained that within a movement like #MeToo, those are the four steps to combatting the problem. According to Olsen, the first step is becoming aware of the issue, followed by building what you know about it. Next comes building the skills to combat it, and, finally, those skills are put to use. Olsen asked audience
members to divide themselves up into three groups based on the first three steps and discuss what it is that they’re currently doing with their respective step. The awareness group discussed reading up on social issues and surfing social media to find out what’s trending. “I don’t know sh*t about this stuff,” admitted a participant in the awareness group at the beginning of his discussion. However, he later explained, “I’ve been learning so much about this over the last few weeks.” Similarly, the group discussing the knowledge step talked about reading into more information, specifically statistics, as well as attending workshops and forums similar to the event. Finally, the group tackling skills and discussed more complex concepts like “code-switching,” the idea that one must change their
13
communication patterns when engaging with individuals from different backgrounds in order to get a point across. Audience members recognized the importance of the “skills” step. “I’ve been aware (of #MeToo) for a long time now,” said Akiva Meolo, an undeclared freshman. “I have some skills, but when it comes to crisis mode, we might not know what to do.” However, Olsen said that realizing the other steps is an important process because “we gain awareness of f*cked up sh*t and we want to go straight to action, but we have to build those skills first.” The event wrapped up with a question from Olsen: “Are we ready for action?” This was immediately followed by a student’s response: “We have to be.” Nate Day can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

ACT HUMAN RIGHTS FILM FESTIVAL
ACT festival hosts panel on using a compassionate lens By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules
Documenting real lives through a film is an important yet difficult thing to do. This is especially the case for films concerning the need for social justice. The third annual ACT Human Rights Film Festival, a film festival specifically for creating a dialogue about any and all social issues, hosted a panel for discussing just that. The panel, made up of producers and the films’ subjects, talked about their experiences working on the documentaries and the significance of documentaries surrounding social issues. According to the ACT Human Rights Film Festival website, not many human rights film festivals exist in the United States and none existed in Colorado, before this one. “Living in Fort Collins in Colorado, we have such few opportunities to engage in such dialogue,” said David Scott Diffrient, a director of ACT’s programming. Unfortunately, for aspiring filmmakers, it’s becoming tougher for them to create films that corperations will buy, “Freedom For The Wolf” producer, Patrick Hamm, said. “It’s a very tough space right now,” Hamm said. “In past years, pretty much all the films that screened were sold immediately, but this year, none did. So you have all these brilliant projects in this ever crowding market, and they’re not selling.” At the same time, film festivals, whether or not they are as big as Sundance, are important for getting upand-coming artists to share their message. According to Diane Quon, producer of “Minding The Gap,” small film festivals can be important for documentaries too. “(A small film festival) goal is to broadcast these films, even if it’s a small broadcast,” Quon said. “Not all documentaries are meant to be these big blockbusters that you’ll see on Netflix or TV, but other places like online. You won’t make as much money as if it was on Netflix, but those documentaries are important too.” Orienting his advice towards the future film producers in the audience, Hamm spoke about some of

ACT PANELISTS Panelists share which films inspire them most: ■ Diane Quon
“Won’t you be my Neighbor”
■ Patrick Hamm
“When Two Worlds Collide” ■ Argaus Ashine “The White Helmets” Because of the nature of documentaries following real lives, especially with issues regarding social justice, it’s important to ensure that the subjects in the films are comfortable with how they are being presented. According to Quon, the policy of the producing company she works for is the less power the people have, the more right they have to see the film before it’s released. “For ‘Minding The Gap,’ it’s a very personal film,” Quon said. “The thing about documentaries is that its real life, and it continues. It’s not like it ends after the
documentary ends.” For these films to capture the social injustices that they do, sometimes going around media-restrictive laws is required, like filming in authoritative or totalitarian governments. This is currently the case for Louai Haffar, producer for “A Memory in Khaki,” and his most recent project that is being filmed in Istanbul. “Just five hours ago, my director called me,” Haffar said. “He’s making a film about street children in Istanbul, and he was telling me that the police came to arrest the children. He doesn’t have the permissions to shoot the children, just the streets (of Istanbul). We got a general permission. We’re not telling a lie, but we’re not telling 100 percent of the truth. You have to find a way around the system.” Although breaking the law, Argaus Ashine, an environmental journalist featured in “Dead Donkeys Fear No Hyenas,” sees the importance in doing so to cover the issues that aren’t necessarily covered by the international news, like the land grabbing crisis in Ethiopia. “The prime objective (of the documentary) is to help those people excluded from mainstream politics and give a voice for the voiceless,” Ashine said.
