With obstructions come spoils for CSU’s breakout freshmen By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

Set on opposite sides of the court, each standing along the 3-point line, Adam Thistlewood and Kendle Moore are not only working on their craft with post-practice shooting but seeking to avoid the wall that affects so many first-year starters in collegiate basketball. Though a figurative barrier for young team members, playing

their first season of high-intensity basketball for over 30 games is real. Their in-season practices with Colorado State notwithstanding, the process of evading the roadblocks along their path began in the offseason. “I think they did a great job in the summer of essentially preparing themselves for the battle,” Coach Dave Thorson said. “If you were to go and look back from a conditioning perspective at what

we did in the fall, both those guys came in shape, got in better shape and then in the fall, they were leaders when they competed.” Their path of working out in preparation for the season also included schedule changes. With basketball at the center of both of their lives, Moore and Thistlewood have developed a sleeping, schoolwork and life schedule that enhances their progress on the court. Choosing to apply their efforts

in a way that enhances their oncourt prowess is an internal motive. “They both have great mentalities, you can see, I mean they’re both out here after practice putting in work,” Head Coach Niko Medved said. “I think they love to play, they’re competitors, they’re coachable, they both just have great mentalities.” As a pair, the two have combined for 40 starts, with Moore being the only player outside of

Nico Carvacho to get the starting nod in each of the team’s 27 games. With those experiences, growth has occurred. “I think everything is starting to slow down,” Moore said. “Starting from the beginning, I feel like that gave us a lot of confidence, feeling like that coaches trust us… that just motivates us to work hard every day.”

Faculty, graduate students feel impact of nine-month pay cycle professor Michael Humphrey. “If you’re not used to budgeting, you might make a mistake the first year,” Humphrey said. “I think it’s important to understand what a nine-month salary looks like. Because, if you got your paycheck and thought, ‘Oh this is what I can spend for the month,’ you’re going to be in a lot of trouble in the summer.” Pay and financial benefits vary from position to position, Humphrey said. Graduate students have the opportunity to apply for a graduate assistantship where they are compensated to teach classes while completing their degrees. While teaching, graduate students’ tuition is covered and a stipend is given at the beginning of each month. Ellen Ratajack, a psychology P.h.D. student, elaborated on the difficulties of living off the University stipend. Graduate students still have to pay student fees, which come out of their stipend, Ratajack said. “How am I going to keep taking out loans and then have a job that’s never going to pay those back,” Ratajack said. “I’ve had numerous instructors say to me, ‘You really need to stop your other jobs so that you can focus on your research,’ but I can’t because I have bills.” Looking at the month from a financial standpoint proves burdensome, said creative writing graduate student Emma Hyche, especially in August when the semester starts. “At the beginning of the year it’s a bit difficult… because you have to think, ‘Okay if I have a $1,000 stu-

Imagine this: It’s summer break, campus is nearly empty and most students have gone home, but some faculty don’t enjoy the luxury of a three-month vacation. Colorado State University has opted to pay faculty on a ninemonth pay cycle, going from Aug. 15-May 15. Vice Provost of Faculty Affairs Dan Bush works to support the faculty side of the University, including deans, vice provosts and vice presidents. “At academic institutions, the tradition is that faculty are hired on nine month contracts or ninemonth appointments,” Bush said. “That is, they’re paid through the academic year.” Bush said unless a faculty member is teaching a summer class, they are not required to be on campus, thus forfeiting salary pay for those three months. “(Faculty) are not obligated to be here, and that’s why we don’t do vacations during the nine month(s) because we feel that there’s three months where people can take care of their business,” Bush said. “Now, that isn’t to say that people don’t have opportunities to be away from campus. When we have holidays, of course, people are paid.” Budgeting becomes important in the summer on a nine-month salary, according to professors on campus, including assistant journalism and media communication

dent fee bill and my rent is $700 how am I going to (do that) because that’s already over what I make that month,” Hyche said. A majority of graduate students have had to acquire summer jobs to make ends meet. Ratajack said that alongside her teaching position at CSU, she also teaches a class at Front Range Community College. Hyche waited tables during the summer to support herself financially. “The stipend here doesn’t cover expenses,” Ratajack said. “And that’s not me living frivolously, that’s just basic bills.” As a student who researches while teaching, Ratajack was able to get funding last summer but still has to plan for the possibility of not receiving grants. “(The nine-month appointment) is really nice while we have it, but those summer months are always really stressful,” Ratajack said. “It’s hard because during the semester you still live paycheck to paycheck, but you’re trying to anticipate that you might not get funding for the summer.” Knowing how to accommodate for not having summer pay requires planning, but Humphrey said this teaches valuable lessons. “I actually think its really good for everybody to think about ‘what do I really need to live on,’ ‘what can I set aside,’ ‘what can I save,” Humphrey said. “And I think this job makes you think that way.” Laura Studley can be reached at news@collegian.com.

ASCSU discusses digital copies of New York Times, RMSMC contract By Ravyn Cullor @RCullor99

Editor’s note: Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation is the parent corporation of The Rocky Mountain Collegian. The Associated Students of Colorado State University discussed two resolutions Wednesday night pertaining to newspapers on campus. One resolution would support the outgoing ASCSU president renegotiating the body’s contract with the Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation. The other would change the contract through which ASCSU purchases physical copies of The New York Times to purchasing digital copies. Both resolutions were presented by the office of President Tristan Syron to seek the opinion of the ASCSU Senate. Resolution on digital version of The New York Times sent to committee Chief of Staff Zachary Vaishampayan presented a resolution supporting a change which would end the delivery of The New York Times to campus and replace it with access to the digital version for anyone with a CSU email with the domains “colostate” or “rams.

colostate.” The move would change the contract through which ASCSU purchases the paper from USA Today to The New York Times themselves, who have ensured the cost would not change, Vaishampayan said. “Instead of getting about 200 copies of The New York Times for the entire campus, we’d technically get 30,000,” he said. “You would think it would be cheaper, but you’re getting more copies at a reduced price.” While Syron technically has the power to make the change without the support of the Senate because it would be cost-neutral, the president would not go forward with negotiations if they were to reject the resolution, Vaishampayan said. The bill was sent to the Committee on University Affairs. Resolution on whether outgoing or incoming ASCSU President will negotiate with RMSMC The resolution, written and presented by Vaishampayan, sought the Senate’s support or opposition to allow the outgoing president to negotiate the contracts with RMSMC. The contract is fully negotiated every three years and often has

small portions discussed every year, Vaishampayan said. “Traditionally, the incoming ASCSU president, fresh off of winning their election, will be the ones negotiating any contractual changes,” he said. “This has been noted to be problematic because they also have a lot of other things to do during that transition period. This would take one of them away.” The resolution was written with both the pros and cons of implementation. The resolution listed the incoming president’s busy schedule, more time for negotiation and the outgoing president’s familiarity with RMSMC as benefits. It also cited the outgoing president’s biases in favor of or against student media and possible discrepancies between what is negotiated and the budget presented by the incoming president as possible drawbacks. The resolution contained both the words “supports” and “opposes” so the Senate can amend the resolution as they see fit. Peter Waack, president and CEO of RMSMC, spoke briefly about the stress of negotiating the corporations budget after the new president is elected. “It’s the budget of Rocky Mountain Student Media, with a lot of

input from student media leaders in The Collegian, CTV, SVP, KCSU, advertising, marketing, you name it,” Waack said. “The 350 students and their leaders help me put the budget together for the next year, and it is just an incredibly stressful time to try to pack that it all into two weeks.” When the resolution went into discussion and debate, a motion by Sen. Ethan Burshek to remove the word “opposes” from the res-

olution failed. Burshek said he supported the outgoing president conducting the negotiations, and because of this, wanted to amend the resolution to make it so that a vote in-favor would “support” the resolution. The resolution was sent to Budgetary Affairs and Internal Affairs committees and will be discussed in Senate again next week. Ravyn Cullor can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Student Legal Services offers students, staff with legal advice By Meagan Stackpool @MeaganStackpool

Tucked away in the Lory Student Center, the Student Legal Services office provides free legal advice to students and staff willing to search them out. According to their website, their mission is to help Colorado State University students resolve their legal issues with as little disruption as possible to their education. The office provides legal advice to students and aims to empower them to solve the problem themselves. Proud to call themselves one of the oldest student legal centers in the United States, the office mainly offers help to students, although they do notarize signatures for faculty and staff who seek them out. As stated on their website, SLS attorneys “help you help yourself.” While they do not typically represent students, they do help them along every step of the legal process. If adequate help cannot be provided by the attorneys there, they refer students to the best person who can. Funded by student fees, the center provides confidential legal advice to students. Any student taking at least one in-person credit hour can receive legal advice without charge. Kathy Howard, director and attorney for the center, explained

why students should feel comfortable coming to the SLS office. “It’s the one time in your life that you can come speak with very experienced attorneys without paying,” Howard said. “Whether you have something bothering you or you want to start a business, something very proactive, come see us. That’s what we’re here for.” The center provides advice on everything from housing and leases to immigration and interactions with the police. Howard explained how they most commonly see students come in for help resolving issues with leases and landlords, as well as navigating low-level alcohol and drug charges. “Helping students navigate those situations and be able to have them not get a criminal conviction from it and be able to seal a criminal record so that when they go to look for jobs they are competitive with others is a huge part of our mission,” Howard said. Their office also offers legal advice to international and immigrant students. Additionally, their website features tips for international students, ranging from how to talk to the police to the drug laws around marijuana that may affect entry to the U.S. In recent years, the SLS office has adapted to provide better legal service to students with immigration questions. Howard said when President Donald Trump was get-

ting ready to take office, the center prepared to assist students with more complex immigration issues.

“It’s the one time in your life that you can come speak with very experienced attorneys without paying. Whether you have something bothering you or you want to start a business, something very proactive, come see us that’s what we’re here for.” KATHY HOWARD DIRECTOR AND ATTORNEY FOR STUDENT LEGAL SERVICES

“I arranged for two community attorneys that are immigration specialists to contract for us. Using the immigration contract attorneys has allowed us to give that advice but do it in a very accurate way,” Howard said. “We have very high standards. If it’s something we can’t give advice on because it’s not our specialty we will get you somewhere (that can).” Howard said that the contract attorneys have full immigration

practices within the community, and come in once a month to help students. They are also on call to help with immigration-related questions. Cristina Steele-Kaplan, one of the contract immigration attorneys in the office, said that during times of need, it is important for immigrants and foreign nationals to have a resource to turn to. “Immigration laws can affect issues differently. So, what may be a safe choice for a U.S. citizen could be dangerous for a foreign student,” Steele-Kaplan wrote in an email to The Collegian. Steele-Kaplan went on to explain that people from all over the world come to CSU. Both international students and those who have immigration issues within the community sometimes need legal assistance, and by offering legal services to them helps them realize that CSU is here for them too. Steele-Kaplan said that the opportunity for students with immigration issues to be able to go to the same place as their counterparts is reassuring. Steele-Kaplan wrote about how she and her counterpart within the SLS, Penny Gonzales-Soto, appreciate the opportunity to set the record straight about misconceptions with lawyers and legal services. “There are too many notaries, dabblers and bad TV that get im-

migration wrong. We want to be sure that people get the right information so they know the right thing to do,” Steele-Kaplan wrote. “For many students, if we can get to them early enough, they may have more options than if they wait until they are older. We like being able to catch students early. For us, to be able to be a part of the positive impact that CSU has was very flattering.” Howard assured students worried about confidentiality that this is not an issue. “We’re 100 percent confidential. Our discussions are privileged, which means we can’t be subpoenaed to testify what you tell us,” Howard said. “We are a safe place to bring any problem and all of us here are non-judgmental. . . We figure out where a student is and we meet them where they are.” Mostly, the SLS office wants students to know they exist and that their services are included in student fees. “Life happens, and there’s a lot of complicated things that come up, and you can’t be expected to know how to navigate them,” Howard said. “We feel like we embrace every single kind of identity for a student and we want to help give you the confidence, understanding, tools and attitude of ‘I can fix this and I am not alone.’” Meagan Stackpool can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Las becas y ayudas no cubren el costo de vida de algunos estudiantes Por Ravyn Cullor @RCullor99

Editor’s note: The Collegian is starting a section in Spanish for our Spanish-speaking readers. Spanish articles will be available online and in print. Find the English version of this article on our website. will be available online and in print. Find the English version here. Cada año es más frecuente que los estudiantes utilicen sus propios recursos para financiar sus estudios debido a que las becas y ayudas cubren solo una parte de los gastos universitarios. Según los datos compilados por la Oficina de Ayuda Económica de la Universidad Estatal de Colorado, entre el año académico 2000-2001 y el año académico 2018-2019, el costo de asistencia a esta universidad ha aumentado más del doble. Después de los gastos de la matrícula y las cuotas, el gasto más grande para los estudiantes y sus familias es la vivienda. El costo de asistencia para este año académico es aproximadamente 27.000 dólares, y la cantidad media en las ayudas y becas otorgadas a los estudiantes, según Ayuda Económica, cubre un poco más de la mitad de los gastos para los es-

tudiantes del estado y menos de un tercio de los gastos para los estudiantes de fuera del estado. “Cuando decimos que podemos cubrir la matrícula y las cuotas para alguien, todavía hay más de 12.000 dólares que deben pagar los estudiantes residentes”, mencionó Tom Biedscheid, Director de Ayuda Económica. Entre los complejos de apartamentos en Fort Collins que publican sus precios en línea, como Ramblewood, Carriage House, Habitat y Governor’s Park, la habitación media cuesta alrededor de 830 dólares al mes. Los precios exactos pueden variar con los contratos de arrendamiento y pagos adicionales. Los apartamentos del campus de CSU ubicados en Aggie Village son competitivos con los precios que hay en la ciudad, y van de los 710 a los 1.135 dólares al mes. “Estamos al tanto del mercado inmobiliario general en Fort Collins y tratamos de ser competitivos y ofrecer precios asequibles”, expresó John Malsam, Subdirector de Servicios de Vivienda y Comedor. Malsam dijo que, aunque los precios parecen similares a primera vista, Aggie Village es un complejo más nuevo y con más servicios que otros complejos locales de apartamentos tal vez no incluyan, como

aire acondicionado, lavaplatos y lavadoras y secadoras dentro del apartamento. Además, están especialmente pensados para satisfacer las necesidades de los estudiantes, con contratos de arrendamiento que tienen en cuenta el semestre y un acceso más fácil a otros recursos de la Universidad. De acuerdo con la Lista de apartamentos del otoño de 2018 de Vida fuera del Campus (Off-campus Life), otros complejos de apartamentos con precios similares ofrecían los mismos servicios o servicios similares. Otro factor que determina los precios de Aggie Village es la forma en que se financian los Servicios de Vivienda y Comedor, dijo Malsam. La vivienda universitaria es un servicio auxiliar, lo que significa que no recibe fondos de la universidad. “Estamos totalmente financiados con los ingresos que obtenemos de las habitaciones en las residencias, el alquiler de los apartamentos y los planes de comedor”, comentó Malsam. “Es importante que mantengamos nuestra responsabilidad financiera, (y) que podamos ofrecer los servicios... para vivir en el campus y posiblemente fuera del campus y hacerlo de una manera asequible y competitiva”. Biedscheid dijo que Ayuda

Económica está tratando de compensar los altos precios del costo de vida, pero no ven que las ayudas federales Pell (Federal Pell Grants) aumenten tan rápido como deberían. Además, esta oficina a menudo ve que hay estudiantes con ingresos medios que no pueden optar a la ayuda federal que pasan apuros. Qué se considera ingresos medios depende de cuántos adultos con trabajo y niños hay en un hogar. En CSU, generalmente se considera que los estudiantes cuya familia gana 110.000 dólares o más al año no pueden disfrutar una asistencia económica según los cálculos de los gastos de asistencia y la ayuda familiar, lo cual depende de la solicitud para ayudas estudiantiles federales (FAFSA) del estudiante, dijo Biedscheid. Biedscheid dijo que la ayuda familiar estimada a menudo no refleja la realidad, especialmente para los estudiantes de ingresos más bajos. Hizo referencia a un estudio realizado en 2018 por la Universidad de Colorado en Denver, The Bell Policy Center y Colorado Trust sobre qué significa tener ingresos medios en Colorado hoy en día y dijo que los estudiantes que se ajustan a la definición de ingresos medios

con frecuencia tienen dificultades para cubrir los gastos de asistencia universitaria. “Nunca hubiera imaginado que una familia que gana 110.000 dólares al año tuviera dificultades para pagar los gastos de la universidad, pero esa es la realidad”, mencionó Biedscheid. “Lo que menciona el informe es lo difícil que es para las familias decidir qué hacer: ‘¿Somos dueños de una casa o tenemos atención médica o enviamos a nuestros hijos a la universidad?’”.

COLLEGIAN COLUMNIST

Kindness deserves higher value in American discourse Abby Vander Graaff @abbym_vg

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. What do a certain founding principal, an ex-Nazi sympathizer and Holocaust survivor have in common? They each advocate for kindness. American political polarization is common. Some argue that it’s a necessity for our country, but that doesn’t mean we should be outright hostile to one another. Kindness isn’t valued in American discourse, and it should be. An emphasis on kindness in American culture would increase our relationships with one another, and in turn help to mend the political polarization that our country faces on a large scale. The Pew Research Center found that during the 2016 presidential election campaign, 70 percent of Democrats said Republicans were closed-minded, and 42 percent said they were dishonest, while 52 percent and 45 percent of Republicans said the same thing, respectively, about Democrats. Liberals argue that conservatives aren’t listening to what they have to say, while conservatives argue that liberal defenses are fraudulent, padded by “fake news” and elitist institutions. It’s easy to focus on proving the other side wrong,

rather than listening and trying to understand the reasons behind a difference in opinion. Holocaust survivor Irving Roth discussed kindness during his talk at the Lory Student Center last week. “While humans do not have the perfect solution to everything,” Roth said, “listening to one another and compromising can help solve today’s problems.” Kim Roth-Howe, founding principal of CoCreative Labs, gave a TEDxTalk focusing on ways to combat hostile political partisanship by simply listening to those who hold differing views.

“When we enter interactions with the intention to be kind, we put our peers at ease. In doing so we create a space for collaboration that is otherwise unreachable.” She discusses her desire to move the political conversation from “a game of mental ping pong” to something more productive by asking “What’s the world that you long to live in, that you want to help create?” Howe notes that usually, the worlds each side longs for are similar. After finding this common ground, a constructive argument becomes more achievable. In the midst of the conflict that our political atmosphere produc-

es, perhaps sympathetic, personal conversations are the key to progress. These conversations could work where strong argument and political advocacy might fail. Instead of wasting energy on the shortcomings of a certain group, we can educate each other on a more intimate level, and use our relationships with one another to foster some understanding that spans across political boundaries. Christian Picciolini, a former neo-Nazi-turned peace advocate, exemplifies this process in his work. In his TEDxTalk, he discusses his descent to white supremacy and his journey back to peace. After witnessing the humanity of Nazi-targeted groups, he renounced his affiliation and began convincing others to do the same by listening to their understanding of the world and kindly explaining his own. When we enter interactions with the intention to be kind, to compromise or at least try to understand one another, we put our peers at ease. We allow them to feel the positive effects of our kindness and in doing so we create a space for collaboration that is otherwise unreachable. Instead of taking the responsibility to convert someone from one party to another, or to change someone’s ideas on an entire philosophy, we should see our conversations as a way to gain mutual understanding. We must build on our similarities, but first, we must be kind enough to one another to discover what they are. Abby Vander Graaff can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

Your gut is telling your brain you’re depressed Madison Thompson @heyymadison

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. Where do you feel your feelings? Most would say in their gut. Whether it’s the butterflies for a new crush or debilitating stress, our guts play a significant role in determining how we feel or what we feel. College students are an especially susceptible demographic for mental health disorders due to increased stress and anxiety, which can lead to bad eating habits. This is reflected in the state of our own Health Center as the counseling center is oversaturated with patients asking to schedule students some three weeks out. The connection between our gut and brain isn’t a new phenomena. It dates back hun-

dreds of years. Scientists in the early 19th and 20th centuries thought “poisons” emanating from the gut produced infections that linked them to depression and anxiety. Do not take this information as a reason to stop taking your medication. This is not medical advice, and you should consult with your doctor before making any alterations to a treatment plan. Rather, this information should serve as a road map to a different understanding of how our bodies communicate with themselves and what that means for scientists moving forward. This information could serve as an opportunity to understand mental health as more than just a genetic predisposition. The relationship between our gut and brain is a relatively new frontier, but researchers are finding links which could provide an alternate understanding of disease and genetics. This opens the door for the possibility that other causes of mental health are possible. Medical professionals are

Dear people of the great state of Colorado, Hello! I am a third-grade student in North Virginia. In third grade, we do state projects, and I have chosen your state! I am very excited to learn more about the great state of Colorado as I work on my project. Some of the information we get for our projects will be

from books and websites, but the best information is from the people who live in each state. This is why I am writing to you. I am hoping that you would be willing to send me some items to help me learn more about the best things in your state. It could be things like postcards, maps, pictures, souvenirs, general information, this newspaper article or any other items that would be useful. You can mail items to the address below.

continuously researching the gut-brain interaction and its effect on mental health and well-being. Lined with hundreds of millions of nerve endings, it’s no wonder the microfauna in our gut can affect our state of mind. Your gut is tied to your brain physically by the vagus nerve, which controls messages to vital organs. Hormones and neurotransmitters also connect the gut and brain. The bacteria, viruses and fungi that live in the gut make up the gut microbiome.

FUN FACT ■ The gut microbiome is the

body’s rain forest. At least 160 species of bacteria live in our guts, making our intestines home to the most diverse flora in a single area of our bodies.

Scientists are discovering that the “butterfly” feeling, usually from nerves, can lead to inflammation in your gut and beyond. Scientists have begun re-

ferring to your gut informally as the “little brain,” but its official title is the enteric-nervous system. While it can’t create and process thoughts like our actual brain, it does communicate at length with the central nervous system. One such case study comes from patients with irritable bowel syndrome and other functional bowel problems like constipation and diarrhea. Researchers have always thought anxiety and depression contributed to these problems, but studies are showing its likely the other way around. Issues in the gastrointestinal tract are likely to send signals to the central nervous system, which trigger mood changes. This information is important because 30-40 percent of the population experience functional bowel problems throughout their life. Most people eat foods that would be considered part of the standard American diet. These studies do not prove that depression or anxiety are symptoms of an off-balance microbiome. What we do know is that the gut and brain have

NOPE

a complex system of communication that deserves more attention. This could point us to new areas of research that don’t consider some mental disorders strictly genetic. It is possible that we have more power to heal ourselves than we previously thought. Understanding how our body communicates with itself could hopefully have an impact on the “one-ill-one-pill” mentality of western medicine in the 21st century. Of course, medication can be an important part of a mental health treatment plan. However, these new discoveries could potentially show us methods that can enhance treatment without necessarily involving medication. Eating fruits and vegetables is not a substitute for medical treatment like medication and therapy, but adding fruits and vegetables to your diet has been shown to have a positive effect on your mental well-being.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Takeaways from crucial Rams win in Spud State By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

A quick glance at the Mountain West standings showed both Boise State and Colorado State knotted at 6-8 in conference play, the Broncos holding the edge with a head-tohead tiebreaker prior to their final of two meetings. After their 76-62 win on the road Wednesday night, the Rams overtook their foes, climbing to seventh in the conference and positioning themselves nicely for the MW tournament. If the current alignment stands, the Rams will play the second game of the opening day in Las Vegas, Nevada. Prior to their win, Niko Medved and company were set to play the early matchup, a nightmare for any traveling squad. With their win, several storylines came about. Getting a win over Boise was personal for Carvacho From the game’s onset, Nico Carvacho played with his ‘hair on fire,’ as Medved often puts it. The big man converted a trio of

Basketball >> from page 1 The bravado instilled by the coaching staff started with Medved. Whether it’s the head coach or fellow players, as it pertains to Thistlewood, that message came as an ultimatum. “My teammates and my coaches believe in me,” Thistlewood said. “They tell me, ‘If you pass up a shot, you’re coming out.’” Though a rigid statement, the coaches instilling a shooters mentality in Thistlewood has served as a catalyst for his courageous mindset on the court. Instead of deferring, the wing has been implored to make an impact. “I can’t thank (my teammates and coaches) enough,” Thistlewood said. “Every day they push me beyond my max and it’s just made me better and better each day.” Carvacho, the team’s leader, has echoed the need for positivity from the youngsters. “(I tell them) ‘stay confident,’ that’s the biggest thing. Once you lose confidence, it’s hard to get it back, so just stay confident and always believe,” Carvacho said. Off the court, the two have amassed a support system as well. In an effort to enhance their improvements, the coaching staff for the Rams has divided their attention, creating more focus in small groups. With Moore reserved to working with Assistant Coach JR Blount in his small group, Thistlewood with Thorson, the two have seen their success off the court increase as well. Those relationships in small-

hook shots for the team’s first six points, taking advantage of a lack of size for the hosts. “Just another day at the office for him,” Medved said. “Looks like a first team all-league player to me.” En route to his 19th double-double of the year, Carvacho also contributed largely to the team’s efforts on the boards. With the 19-point, 14-rebound outburst, he also totaled his ninth double-double in the team’s last 11 bouts. With 14 of the team’s 32 total boards, Carvacho once again flashed the prowess that has led the nation in rebounds per game this year. The energy that Carvacho showed rubbed off on the rest of the team, with each Rams’ player playing pesky defense and sparking transition offense that tallied 15 points. With Carvacho leading the way, the Rams have been a large problem for even the best teams in the conference. The bend-but-don’t-break scheme for defense is paying off Against Wyoming, the Rams er groups for off-court issues and quandaries in course work is just another part of Medved’s system, an arrangement that has prerequisite steps. “It might be something as simple as a coach asking, ‘How are you doing?’” Thorson said. “But that doesn’t happen until you have a certain level of respect (and trust). That’s where I think teams go from good to great, great to elite.” From the beginning, Medved has preached an open line of communication to both his staff and players. Whether it’s bouncing ideas from person to person on the court, or brainstorming off the court, the team has been dead set on being accessible for all. In practices, games and preparation in the film room, Medved has instilled conversation. The knowledge gained through conversation has only just begun for the Rams’ young players though. “(My knowledge) is nowhere (close to complete), just like any freshman,” Thistlewood said. “It’s so much different when you actually get out there. I’m a first grader out here, I got a long ways to go.” With the Mountain West tournament approaching, the pair have a large task looming. Moore already has a Big 12 Player of the Year award under his belt from Danville High School. Thistlewood garnered a league title of his own at Golden High School. With their backgrounds and personas, Medved isn’t worried. “I think both of those guys have that “it” factor and I think they’re both going to compete till the bitter end this year,” Medved said. Luke Zahlmann can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

gave way to another breakout effort from Justin James. Outside of the Cowboys’ star, there wasn’t a single player that accrued double-digit scoring.

FINAL BOXSCORE ■ Score

CSU: 76, BSU: 62 ■ FG% CSU: 58.2, BSU: 39.7 ■ Rebounds CSU: 32, BSU: 31 ■ Assists CSU: 16, BSU: 11 ■ Turnovers CSU: 12, BSU: 8 Versus the Broncos, the same theory was instilled. The Rams chose to let Justinian Jessup buoy the team’s scoring efforts while limiting the other scorers of the hosts. Jessup racked up 25 points in the game with a 10-of-17 mark from the field. Outside of their leader, the

Broncos were reeling. Sans Jessup’s efforts, the Broncos scored 37 as a team, with only two players peaking double digits. From the field, they shot 17-of-51, with only one conversion from beyond the arc. Conversely, the Rams had 4-of5 starters score 10 or more points, with J.D. Paige tallying 10 off the bench as well. Though they only forced eight turnovers, the Rams defense was consistently able to limit open looks for the Broncos, forcing a reliance on 3-pointers. When their shots failed to fall, the Broncos’ rhythm was lost. With a bounty of teams in the conference buoyed by a single player, the Rams strategy has begun to pay off, leading the team to multiple wins and enhancing their prospects for future contests. The bye is paying off big From Feb. 6-12, the Rams lost three games in a row, all by multiple possessions, with the biggest gaff coming in Laramie to a downtrodden Cowboys team. Following the final contest of

the three, the Rams bye week came about, a break that is beginning to pay off. Since the losing spree and subsequent bye week, Medved’s squad has won three games in a row, with all three coming by double digits, two by 21 or more. Though their wins over Wyoming and San Jose State were merely victories over the two worst Mountain West teams, their latest win on the road was different. Several players preached the break’s benefits, including the ability to rest up with multiple off days and reset their bodies and minds alike. With the opportunity to move ahead of the Broncos, the Rams looked revived, encompassing the same efforts that have carried them following their break. On both offense and defense, the Rams flashed energy, with the discipline to match. In search of consistency for the first half of the year, Medved and his team have begun to find their way.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

CSU challenges top team in the conference, fall in overtime By Jessica Boxrud @jessica_boxrud

Six out of the 17 turnovers from the Rams contributed to a snowball effect that left the Rams unable to bounce back, despite taking the Broncos into overtime, eventually falling 72-63. The Rams had a fast-paced start in the first quarter with Grace Colaivalu sending an on-target pass to her teammate Lore Devos under the basket. “They’re first in the league so we knew they were going to come out harder,” Devos said. Although the quick pace stunned the Broncos in the first few minutes, Colorado State University made two mediocre attempts to pass to Colaivalu that put them in a temporary funk. The Broncos took advantage of the opportunity to create an early lead with baskets that put them in the lead. Colaivalu responded with aggressive drives underneath the basket and fought on the ground for a jump ball to compete with the constant pressure from Boise State. In the second quarter, the Broncos fought to keep control of the momentum in their favor. After Coach Ryun Williams called for a timeout after the first three minutes, Tatum Neubert scored a basket to momentarily counter Boise’s energy. Devos put more points on the board for CSU with three additional baskets. There

was no apparent sign of the Rams backing down from the lead the Broncos were maintaining. Mollie Mounsey swished her third 3-pointer of the game that tied the score at 26 for both teams. She scored 17 points and was the leading scorer for the Rams.

The mistakes the team had encountered early on continued to put a mental strain on the team’s energy. Coming out of halftime, Neubert forced the Rams to compete by supporting the team offensive-

ly and setting the foundation for a hopeful comeback. Mounsey contributed two free throws to the scoreboard and Devos accounted for two baskets of her own. Devos scored 16 points for the team overall. In the third quarter, the Rams scored 12 points in total with Colaivalu scoring a layup in the last few seconds of the period. With five points away from a tie game, Myanne Hamm aggressively got her hands on a risky ball that the referees called for a jump ball. Less than five minutes left in the game resulted in a controversial foul call against Hamm. Regardless, the Rams made their comeback with only one point away from a tie game, 51-50. CSU’s energy was almost tangible, and any hesitation they might have experienced prior was gone with only two minutes left, the gap up to seven points. With 40 seconds left in the last quarter, Colaivalu made all four of her free throws, hinging from defensive fouls from the Broncos, leaving the score at 57-54. Williams called a timeout with 30 seconds remaining in the game. Out of the timeout, the Rams stormed back behind a tough layup from Colaivalu with two more free throws. The Broncos were fouled by CSU, but only made one of the two free throws. Colaivalu fought harder than anyone to make yet another basket and tie the game,

59-59. The Rams’ defense, acting as a stone wall against the Broncos, prevented them from scoring before the clock ran out. The Rams headed into overtime with high energy and determination. Colaivalu confidently scored the first basket in overtime, putting CSU ahead for the first time all game, 61-59. With 45 seconds left in overtime, the Rams called a timeout but they were trailing by three points. Boise challenged CSU with several baskets of their own

with and ended the game unceremoniously with a nine-point margin. “They played for the love of the game tonight,” Williams said. “There’s a certain sacredness to this game, there’s a sacredness to this arena, and I thought they represented well in that area.” CSU will look to counter their sixth-consecutive loss against New Mexico Saturday at 2 p.m. The game will serve as Senior Day for the graduating Rams.

STONED V. SOBER

Lil Pump loses appeal on ‘Harverd Dropout’ By Henry Netherland @NetherlandHenry

I don’t think I’ve seen a rapper more polarizing than Lil Pump. On one hand, his blunt, repetitive lyrics over the to-the-point trap bangers helped land the Miami rapper an $8 million contract with Warner Bros. Records. On the other hand, he’s seen as the biggest joke in hip-hop of all time. Sober Listening “Harverd Dropout” is off to a rough start with an obnoxious chorus on “Drop Out.” The beat has a fun, ascending melody, but Pump’s delivery is so annoying that it’s hard to stomach. I first felt “I Love It” with Kanye West was incredibly mind-numbing with Pump’s weak singing being entirely carried by autotune. Something I think even Pump haters can say to his credit is that on past releases, his producers were at least smart enough to not place Pump out of his limited comfort zone. This is a clear example of what happens when he is outside that zone. I didn’t take earlier critiques that Pump was harming the youth by promoting idiotic behavior all that seriously because I felt the ma-

jority of listeners would use him as something to gawk at rather than take his messages to heart. However, the encouragement of ignorance consistently on “Harverd Dropout” is a bit more concerning with multiple references telling listeners to drop out and disrespect teachers. The beat on “Butterfly Doors” sounds like something off a video game soundtrack. Pump’s flow is average but head bobbing. I used to hate the single “Multimillionaire” with Lil Uzi Vert because I can’t stand it when Pump uses a softer tone when rapping. I did come around to it after multiple listens through Uzi’s impressive flow and Pump’s stupidly catchy hook. One smoke session later… There are actually some pretty impressive flows on “ION” with Smokepurpp. I’ve usually been underwhelmed by Smokepurpp performances, but here, he at least manages to keep up with Pump’s energy. The hook is weak and annoying, however. The arpeggio keys on “Fasho Fasho” are actually hauntingly melodic. Offset weirdly sounds like an exact copy of a recently released Gucci Mane. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a song like “Off White,” but what I didn’t see coming was a severely undeveloped track with an ear-grating instrumental and an even worse hook. Not only are there multiple generic trap references, but there’s also a Fortnite reference that’s straight up cringe-worthy. I’ve got to give Pump credit, howev-

er, for bringing up his dyslexia. It’s a difficult disability that’s rarely discussed in art, so it’s nice to see he’s using his platform to bring attention to educational ailments. Lil Wayne’s appearance on “Be Like Me” makes sense considering how much influence he’s had on contemporary rap. Pump’s contribution doesn’t really measure up. YG and 2 Chainz’ contributions are greatly appreciated on “Stripper Name.” They offer a pleasant break from the stupidity even if they’re not exactly speaking gospel. “Drug Addicts,” whose insane music video features the likes of Charlie Sheen, is a pretty run of the mill Pump track. There are a couple funny one-liners and a passable instrumental, but there’s not a lot that sticks with me. “Who Dat” has an eerily hypnotizing piano melody over this deep bubbly bass. Pump reminds me quite a bit of Lil Xan with his croaky vocal fry tonality. He carries slightly more energy than Xan, but it’s still not one of the highlights.

Surplus Property saves items from landfill, generates revenue By Walker Discoe @wdiscoe

Thrifting and buying used or surplus goods is a good way to find something unique while saving some money. Students visit Goodwill or Arc Thrift Stores around Fort Collins to find furniture, shoes, clothes and even costumes, but many people don’t realize that an on-campus option is available. The Colorado State University Surplus Property has been re-purposing, repairing and saving items from the landfill for over 30 years, stocking surplus and end-oflife items from around the CSU campus. “Surplus goods is the end of life facility for everything belonging to the University,” said Holly Ritzmen, assistant manager of Surplus Property. “We take care of figuring out how to best disposition items ranging from office supplies and furniture to laboratory equipment and all the way up to vehicles and even the occasional horse. We determine the best options regarding sale, recycle or repurpose for all those different pieces, and one of our goals is as much landfill diversion as possible.” Sourcing items from all around campus, the Surplus Property handles the items and equipment that departments are able to replace with money allocated in their budgets. But often, those items will be bought back by the same departments, or by students conducting independent research. “All of the departments, by fiscal policy, do have to send their stuff to us,” Ritzmen said. “On an annual basis, we see a lot of items coming in from departments that are really tech heavy, that are doing upgrades to laboratory or computer equipment.” Surplus property, being a department of CSU, allocates a percentage of its generated

revenue to go back to the departments it receives items from. “We are a self-funded department,” said Jake Drenth, manager of Surplus Property. “Everything we do here is funded by the sale, or the recycling of the items that we have, and then a portion of every sale that we make does go back to the original owning department, after we keep a fee for processing it.” Surplus Property also offers comprehensive recycling services for hard to classify items like batteries and electronics that aren’t able to just be tossed in the bin. “One thing that I don’t think most people know that we offer is electronics recycling,” said Drenth. “And that’s a service that’s available to students, faculty and staff. There is a fee that’s associated with that because we get charged by our downstream recycler. Laptops, batteries, computers,

printers, cellphones, anything like that, we can take and properly dispose of.” Open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Surplus Property offers the opportunty for students and staff to buy a wide variety of end-oflife items. “We see so many things, and it’s a really, really wide variety,” Ritzmen said. “If you’ve never shopped surplus, you should always stop by because you’re going to find something you’re not going to expect. And stop by frequently, because our inventory is always changing.”
