PROGRESS program connects undergraduate women in STEM fields

By Samantha Ye @samxye4

For all the challenges women in sciences face, one program lets them know they are not alone.

PROGRESS, or Promoting Geoscience Research, Education and Success, is a program designed to mentor and connect undergraduate women in the STEM fields. Though it is oriented toward earth and envi-

ronmental sciences, all science, technology, engineering and math majors are welcome.

The program may officially become a part of Colorado State University and serve as a mentorship template for other STEM fields if the grants and partnership work out, said Emily Fischer, head of the program and professor of atmospheric science at CSU. Currently, the program starts with a kickoff workshop com-

posed of different panels from professional women in STEM. Speakers talk about their pathways into science, and there are discussions about networking and stereotyping.

The event is women-only, and anyone who identifies as a woman is welcome, Fischer said.

Attendees come from CSU and other nearby universities.

“I think the most important thing that we’re doing is making women in STEM now more

visible to younger women and showing them the struggles and the successes and the failures,” Fischer said. “It’s showing them a range of role models, of how careers progress and how women fill these roles.”

Because of a longstanding history of women being underrepresented in STEM, Fischer said, that can lead to the perception the sciences are not a welcoming place for women. Bringing professionals and students

in science together helps combat that sense.

Augusta Irechukwu, senior computer science major, said she left the event feeling enthusiastic and proud.

“It was like, ‘OK, this is doable. You can get your Ph.D. and be in a field that’s heavily dominated by men and you can still navigate that and succeed in that field,’” Irechukwu said. see PROGRESS on page 4 >>

How the Public Safety Team, president determine snow days

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

Although rare, Colorado State University does sometimes give students a snow day.

The decision to give a snow day is determined by the Public Safety Team and CSU’s president, based on operations of local public schools and city and county offices, the City of Fort Collins’ Emergency Management recommendations, road conditions, the conditions and safety of the campus and personal assessments, according to University guidelines.

How snow days are determined: CSU tries to make their decision on whether to close the campus or delay the start of classes by 5:30 a.m. for overnight storms, according to the guidelines.

The University can either close for the entire day or delay the start of classes. The Public Safety Team and the University president also make the decision to re-open campus the next day if the weather clears up. That decision is announced the evening before or by 5:30 a.m. the following day.

Although students are still expected to attend their classes if they are not canceled due to the snow, the University advises students and employees to make accommodations and

to use good judgment if it is unsafe for them to travel to the University based on individual circumstances.

TIPS FOR STAYING SAFE ON THE ROAD IN SNOWY WEATHER FROM THE AMERICAN RED CROSS ■ Make sure everyone has their

seat belts on and give your full attention to the road.

■ Don’t follow other vehicles too closely. Sudden stops are difficult on snowy roadways.

■ Don’t use cruise control when driving in winter weather.

■ Don’t pass snow plows.

■ Running Time

130 minutes ■ Ramps, bridges and overpasses freeze before roadways.

If the campus is closed, students and employees are asked not to be on campus.

Students and employees are notified of school closures or delays through CSU’s social media, a SOURCE article and a University-wide text and email. The Collegian will also notify students and employees of school closures or delays.

How commuting students, faculty

work around snow day decisions: Although it might be difficult to walk from a dorm to a class across campus, it might not always be safe to go to campus if CSU doesn’t close campus for the day, according to students and professors.

Nick Teslish, a junior physics major, commutes from Cheyenne, Wyoming. Although he hasn’t experienced a day that he couldn’t make it to campus in the past year and a half, he said he’s been lucky and hopes to be able to get to campus in the future.

“It’s always been a worry in the back of my mind because if they do close that road down I have no way to get to my classes,” Teslish said.

Deborah Dimon, an English professor who commutes from Greeley, said both official snow days and individual classes canceled can, due to personal safety issues, be a disruption to their course schedule.

Dimon said she hasn’t experienced too many days where she couldn’t make it to Fort Collins when the campus was still open, but when she couldn’t make it to classes, she had the tools to inform the department and her students to make accommodations.

The University closing campus isn’t that much of an inconvenience, but bad weather is an inconvenience with

keeping the course on track, Dimon said.

“I think (CSU does) a pretty good job,” Dimon said. “It’s hard to make a call like that at four or five in the morning ... Maybe to err on the side of safety is the better way to go, but I’m sure they have their

reasons. Mostly it’s done well, but if you do leave at about six in the morning, and if it hasn’t been called yet, it’s dicey, but I certainly didn’t have many problems this semester.”

PROGRESS >> from page 1 Although not in the geosciences, Irechukwu said she learned about ways she could apply her computer science skills in related data analysis.

She is currently applying to different Research Experiences for Undergraduates and hopes she can get one in Antarctica so she can code in the snow.

After the workshop, PROGRESS attendees can join the closed Facebook group to stay in touch with other participants. The group continues to host or support other STEM events and provide networking opportunities.

Students networking within their peer group is a big part of the program, Fischer said, particularly in physical sciences where a student might often be the only woman in her class.

Hattie Dunton, general mathematics major, said the female underrepresentation has been difficult.

Last year, when she requested an excused absence letter from the head of her department so she could attend a math conference, the faculty member wrote all her pronouns as he/him/his, assuming she was a guy.

“That really sucked and it was super embarrassing to give

all my professors,” Dunton said.

In her almost-completely male classes, Dunton said she often has to “play ball” with the guys, while being with a program full of women was a really different experience.

“You just walk in like, ‘Yeah it kind of sucks when everyone assumes I’m a guy,’ and everyone in the room is like, ‘Ugh, me too!’” Dutton said. “So it was really nice just to know that anything that I face being alone in my classes as a woman, other people deal with too.”

Fischer said she is proud to provide that space for women to build lasting friendships. The program also connects students with female STEM professionals, or volunteer mentors, who range from working professionals in the field to graduate students.

Sarah Whipple, now a firstyear master’s candidate in a graduate degree program in ecology, was in PROGRESS in 2015 and is now a mentor for the 2019 cohort.

Having various female mentors as outlets of support had been helpful through her studies, and as such, she would like to give back with her own support, Whipple wrote in an email to The Collegian.

“Impact-wise, I hope to be encouraging, positive, friendly and inspirational so that she feels comfortable continuing with a STEM career and also recognizes her personal lead-

ership capabilities,” Whipple wrote.

PROGRESS allows mentoring relationships to develop naturally and informally, Fischer said.

Haley Dallas, a senior natural resource management major, said she had a mentee partner and together they consulted with one mentor.

“I absolutely loved getting to hear about her experience but also getting to offer advice I wish that I had had coming into CSU,” Dallas said.

They talked about everything from classes to interpersonal advice and overcoming sexism, Dallas said.

“It felt very like a family,” Dallas said.

So far, there have been three iterations of PROGRESS: one in 2015, 2016 and now the most recent one in February 2019 with around 150 students participating. Each workshop has adapted from the last to give access to more students and opportunities, Fischer said.

PROGRESS has so far been funded by National Science Foundation grants. Fischer said she’s not sure when the next one will be since it depends on further funding.

As Fischer applies for the next NSF grant, she is hoping for CSU to adopt the program officially and institutionalize it within the University.

The NSF grant she has applied for would fund the pro-

gram for two more cohorts within the next four years. CSU would then run it to serve students and to serve as a model for other regions to learn and develop similar programs of their own.

“I’ve learned so much from the people who have encouraged, supported, and guiding me through the geosciences and PROGRESS was a great opportunity for me to give back.”

MELISSA BURT ASSISTANT DEAN FOR DIVERSITY & INCLUSION AT THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

Fischer said she purposely developed the program for broad transferability, not just across institutions but across STEM fields. If institutionalized, she says they would try to apply to the program to the engineering college in CSU. PROGRESS aligns well with the current suite of programming within the Walter Scott Jr. College of Engineering, wrote Melissa Burt, assistant dean for diversity and inclusion for the college, in an email to The Collegian. If it becomes part of CSU,

Burt would like to broaden the scope to provide opportunities for students who have historically been under-represented in engineering disciplines.

Burt helped start PROGRESS at CSU as a way of bringing more women into the geosciences and creating ways to better support them throughout their careers.

“I’ve learned so much from the people who have encouraged, supported and guiding me through the geosciences and PROGRESS was a great opportunity for me to give back,” Burt wrote.

From connecting women in STEM to addressing the gendered challenges of the field head-on, Fischer said PROGRESS provides an important network of support for undergraduate women—and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

“I have people come up to me after the workshops and they’re saying ‘Oh, I’ve been having such a rough year, and I really just needed this burst of inspiration and now I feel like I can keep going,’” Fischer said.

“Everyone takes away something different..., so I’m proud I am able to make this space for undergraduate women and make it more successful for them.”

Rams Without Borders to travel to El Salvador to install solar panels

By Ceci Taylor @Cecelia_twt

Over the past 10 years, Rams Without Borders has traveled to La Criba, El Salvador to install a water distribution system for the community. Now, with the project complete, the club is looking towards the next step. “(The water distribution system) has gotten people reliable, clean water,” Zakri Siegel, one of the two project leaders, said. “The next aspect of that is making sure it’s sustainable.”

The club will be traveling back to El Salvador over spring break to install solar panels for the village.

According to Allie Huber, president of Rams Without Borders, and Peter Field, a former project leader, Rams Without Borders has already made a big impact on the village. Field said they’ve provided water for at least 217 houses, and Huber said that clean water is already more accessible to the villagers. However, the club hopes to continue to help.

“I hope that we’ve made a big impact; I know we’ve definitely spread the availability of clean water, but unfortunately, the water prices have risen,” Huber said.

Siegel said the solar panels should help them pay for the higher cost of water.

“It should offset the cost of the system, but it’s also for sustainability,” Siegel said.

“It’s a really cool experience. The community there, we’ve been working there for so long, they’re very welcoming. They treat us as family.”

PETER FIELD FORMER PROJECT LEADER

At least nine Colorado State University students and faculty will be volunteering to work over break. Field has been on the trip twice and said he’s enthusiastic about the new solar panel project.

“It’s a really cool experience,” Field said. “The community there, we’ve been working there for so long, they’re very welcoming. They treat us as family.”

Field said that most of the people in La Criba farm for a living, and not many have jobs besides selling some excess corn or

beans. He also said that despite the rural conditions, the people there are always welcoming and eager to help out.

“If we’re digging a trench, they’ll come and take the shovels and dig it themselves; they just want to help out,” Field said.

Besides La Criba, Rams Without Borders will also be traveling to El Pital, El Salvador to install a similar water distribution system and to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

Isaiah Chavez, a volunteer with Rams Without Borders, said they plan to install solar panels and a greenhouse at the reservation.

“Most people don’t realize there are third-world conditions in America,” Chavez said. “It’s important to help them out.”

According to Huber, Rams Without Borders recently changed their name. The club used to be called Engineers Without Borders, but they changed the name in order to incorporate other majors in the program.

“We’re always looking for people who can speak fluent Spanish, and there are other aspects to our project that require besides just engineering,” Huber said. “Things like fundraising, planning and communication.”

Huber said that traveling and volunteering have been beneficial to volunteers as well as the people they help on their trips.

“Hopefully they have taken away the importance of teamwork; that’s a huge thing for me joining this club,” Huber said.

“Working with other students but also connecting with people

across the world.”

Siegel said that Rams Without Borders is always looking for new members and people willing to help. The CSU chapter meets every Thursday. More information can be found on their website.

Sexual health initiatives provides sex education to students

By Ravyn Cullor @RCullor99

Most young people’s sexual health education happens in K-12, but many of them aren’t taught enough to make informed decisions about safe sex.

The Health Network at Colorado State University provides a variety of sexual health resources to educate students about topics including forms of contraception, sexually transmitted infections and consent.

“Sometimes the topic is a little taboo, but it’s like anything else with our health; we want people to be educated,” said Gwen Sieving, manager of sexual health and outreach initiatives at the Health Network. “Most people could learn a whole lot more about sexual health.”

“Sometimes the topic is a little taboo, but it’s like anything else with our health, we want people to be educated,” GWEN SIEVING MANAGER OF SEXUAL HEALTH AND OUTREACH INITIATIVES AT THE HEALTH NETWORK

There is no national standard for what must be taught in K-12 sexual education, Sieving said, which means each student’s knowledge varies greatly. According to the National Confer-

ence of State Legislation, only 20 states require that information in sex education or HIV education classes must be “medically, factually or technically accurate.”

STI FAST FACTS ■ Get tested, even if you’re not

showing symptoms of infection.

■ Get tested after every sexual partner.

■ Most STIs are treatable, but repeated treatments can cause other complications, like lower fertility rates in those who have been treated for chlamydia repeatedly.

■ For condoms to effectively protect from STIs you must, “use them 100 percent of the time with 100 percent of the people.”

“I went to a public school in Texas and had abstinence-only education,” freshman Anna Dienstbier said. “I would say I mostly have questions about what defines safe sex and what to do if you haven’t had safe sex.”

One of the sexual health education resources provided through the Health Network is a peer education program called creating respect, educating wellness, for and by, students (CREWS). The program provides presentations for groups on campus; the presentations are run by students who go through a yearlong training that covers sexual

health, alcohol and tobacco.

They cover general sexual health education, consent and condom use, as well as resources on campus. In addition, they deliver complementary condoms on a weekly basis to student organizations who request them, with 36,000 “made available” last year, Sieving said.

However, most students who have questions about sexual health turn to asking their friends or the internet, both of which may or may not be qualified to give accurate information, Sieving said.

“If you’re going to look on the web, make sure it’s a credi-

ble source and you are thorough in looking at who’s funding this, what’s their background, all of those kinds of things,” Sieving said.

She suggests avoiding websites that start with .com in general, because they are likely trying to sell something. Instead, Sieving recommends looking for a .org or .gov site, like those on the Health Network’s website.

For students with specific questions about their own sexual health, like what kind of contraception would be best for them personally, Sieving says there are a number of resources available through the providers at the

Health Network.

The goal of the sexual health initiative is to provide accurate, reliable and accessible information to students so they can make informed decisions and “don’t feel like they don’t have all the information,” Sieving said.

“For some students, if abstinence is what they choose, they should feel supported and confident in that choice,” Sieving said.

“If they choose to be sexually active, fine, and this is how to stay protected and be safe, and those people you’re possibly having interactions with are safe as well.”

Water bottle filling stations cutting down on plastic waste

By Corbin Reiter @CorbinReiter

As of March 2019, Colorado State University students can enjoy cool, clean water from over 100 water bottle filling stations on campus, according to Travis Croft, a sustainability intern at CSU. Since CSU Facilities Management started keeping track of these stations in 2014, they have been used over 4 million times, saving tons of plastic waste from entering the environment, according to Facilities Management.

“Any effort that we can make to reduce the addition of waste and encourage sustainability and helping to eliminate waste will ultimately be good and will pay off in CSU’s efforts for sustainability,” Croft said.

Nearly all buildings that hold classes have at least one

water bottle filling station, and many common buildings, like the Lory Student Center and the Morgan Library, have more than five.

“In recent years, it has become an unofficial standard for facilities to add these stations into any building that is being seriously renovated, or any new building,” Croft said. “This is due to the fact that the most expensive part of adding these stations is not the actual unit, but the renovations of the wall it is mounted on.”

The addition of these stations was not a part of a campus-wide initiative with a goal of contributing to CSU’s mission of sustainability. Rather, a majority of the funding came from individual organizations, said Stacey Baumgarn, the campus energy coordinator with Facilities Management.

Many of these organizations

are educational departments, and a few of the others include the Associated Students of CSU and the Chemistry Graduate Student Council.

“Any effort that we can make to reduce the addition of waste and encourage sustainability and helping to eliminate waste will ultimately be good and will pay off in CSU’s efforts for sustainability.”

TRAVIS CROFT CSU SUSTAINABILITY INTERN

Many departments prioritize students, and that was the spark for the ASCSU bill and for many of the departments

that individually funded them, Baumgarn said. Students consistently request for more places to offer water bottle filling stations, and so lots of organizations are pushing to meet this demand.

ASCSU recently contributed to the water bottle filling stations, with a bill written by Triston Syron, student body president, and Kevin Sullivan, student body vice president, before their election. The bill was drafted twice and approved in 2018.

“It was the first time that someone had asked me to do something,” Syron said. “At the time, I was the liberal arts senator and I was like, ‘You have someone in liberal arts actually asking for something, let’s make it happen,’ and that was the inspiration.”

The bill funded seven different filling stations located

across campus. Having an organization fund these stations allows for a more even spread across campus, Baumgarn said.

The main trouble for these stations is fiscal responsibility, Baumgarn said. Some departments don’t have the funding to add these fountains, and in buildings like Clark A, where many different departments hold classes, no single organization has a clear responsibility.

Syron added that while there are people pushing for initiatives like this, there is still some progress to be made.

However, he said he feels that the stations themselves serve as a symbol for the future of a more sustainable campus.

“So it’s symbolic, but I think CSU is fairly sustainable for the most part,” Syron said.

Undeclared status allows students to explore options

By Kendall Constable @Kendall_consta.

Undeclared-exploring is a track offered for students who have yet to decide what major they are interested in at Colorado State University.

According to the University’s admissions website, approximately one-third of students in each entering class are undeclared. Even more than this, Elliot Cooper, academic success coordinator and lead instructor for the Key Explore Program, said that over the course of their college career, about 50 percent of students will change their major or be undeclared at some point.

The decision for students to label themselves as undeclared can carry a lot of negative connotations. There are worries of not graduating on time and of the pressure of narrowing down what major is right for them.

“A lot of people see undeclared as being a deficit,” Cooper said. “I totally disagree. I think it gives students the opportunity to think about what, why and how.”

Cooper said he believes students should consider their unique stories during their search for a major they want to pursue. Exploring their values, strengths, interests and beliefs and seeing how these factors fit into the university setting and, further down the line, into career fields, is important.

For undeclared freshman

Savannah Sherwin, the choice to be undeclared is giving her time to be sure about her major when she does make a decision.

“I’ve learned to become okay with not knowing and not being 100 percent sure,” Sherwin said. “I’m just enjoying figuring it out.”

Another benefit of coming in as an undeclared student is avoiding potentially switching majors. During Sherwin’s first semester, she took classes leaning towards one major and discovered it wasn’t for her.

Now, she is able to explore other options without the hassle of switching her major.

For undeclared students, course IU-172, new student seminar: exploring major tracks, is offered to help students in the process of discovering what major is right for them. This is done through a combination of interviewing with faculty, communicating interests and goals, and completing a major and career research assignment.

Leanna Biddle, career education manager and professor for IU-172, wrote in an email that this course is meant to provide students with knowledge and experiences to explore different majors or career options.

“We openly discuss fears associated with choosing a major and navigate through best practices in making that decision,” Biddle wrote.

Biddle wrote that according to data collected in spring 2018, confidence in identifying

possible majors increased from 71.3 percent before taking the course to 100 percent by the end of the course term.

“While data is crucial, as an instructor, I see a general sense of relief when students identify majors and/or careers of interest,” Biddle wrote. “When students are able to recognize their values, interests and skills, a light bulb goes off and connections begin to happen, which helps in the exploratory process. If still exploring, stu-

dents are more open to communicating their questions and reaching out for help.”

Cooper said that even though students are undeclared, they can still graduate on time with others.

“We have a general motto for undeclared students: ‘Explore and decide by 45 (credits),’” Cooper said. “For most majors on campus, that’s totally fine. You can still graduate on time by being undeclared for a year and a half.”

Overall, Cooper said the decision to be an undeclared-exploring student gives students a chance to think about what fields or majors they would like to go into.

“The pros are that you have the opportunity to really take a deep breath and think about what you want to do and why and how you’re going to be at your best in that particular major,” Cooper said.

La Policía de Fort Collins ayuda a detectar a policías falsos Por Ceci Taylor @cecelia_twt

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 here. Translated by students and faculty of the languages, literature and culture department Como consecuencia de un reciente caso de alguien que se hizo pasar por policía, la comisaría de Fort Collins o FCPS (por sus siglas en inglés) dio recomendaciones a los ciudadanos y a los miembros de la comunidad sobre cómo detectar a imitadores y cómo manejar la situación.

El mes pasado, una mujer reportó a un hombre que se había hecho pasar por policía en Fort Collins después de ser parada por un vehículo sin distintivos. El hombre se acercó a

su auto estacionado y le pidió que saliera. La mujer dijo que desconfió porque no vestía uniforme, así que le pidió ver su identificación.

Cuando el hombre se negó, ella se alejó manejando y llamó al 911. Las autoridades inspeccionaron la zona, pero no pudieron encontrar el vehículo ni al hombre que la había parado.

Además, los operadores confirmaron que ningún agente había parado a nadie en el área.

El Sargento Matt Johnson de la FCPS dijo que “(Casos como este) suceden raras veces, pero queremos que las personas sean conscientes de ello”.

Johnson dijo que hay varias cosas a las que uno puede estar atento cuando un agente te para.

“Siempre busquen la identificación del vehículo primero”, dijo. “Si la persona no viste un uniforme o actúa como si estuviera incómodo y no sabe lo que está haciendo, puede ser

sospechoso”.

Johnson agregó que es importante pedir la identificación si se sospecha que alguien se está haciendo pasar por policía, ya que todo agente debería poder confirmar su identidad.

“Asegúrense, además, de documentarse sobre consejos de seguridad”, dijo.

La FCPS publicó información y consejos de seguridad en su página de Facebook tras el incidente en Fort Collins. Estos consejos recomiendan a los ciudadanos que llamen al 911, enciendan las luces de emergencia y manejen a un lugar público bien iluminado.

En un video publicado en Facebook por la FCPS, Johnson dijo que encender las luces de emergencia permite a la persona que te está parando saber que te has dado cuenta de su presencia y cooperarás en cuanto llegues a un lugar más público. También dijo que esto puede alertar a otras personas

sobre lo que está pasando.

En comentarios de la página de la FCPS en Facebook, los ciudadanos expresaron sus preocupaciones por la existencia de policías encubiertos que paran a la gente.

“Esto es precisamente por lo que debería ser ilegal que los policías utilicen coches patrulla camuflados”, comentó Levi Riggs, un residente de Fort Collins. “Los vehículos camuflados deberían usarse para operaciones encubiertas”.

La FCPS respondió al comentario de Riggs.

“Es cierto que tenemos algunas unidades que conducen vehículos camuflados”, respondió la FCPS en la publicación. “Sin embargo, si lo detiene un vehículo camuflado, el agente se identificará claramente y le proporcionará su identificación”.

Casos como estos son específicamente relevantes en Fort Collins después de que Lacy

Miller, de 20 años, fuera parada por un hombre que se hizo pasar por policía y asesinada hace 16 años. Desde entonces, se han tomado medidas para aumentar el castigo de aquellos que se hacen pasar por agentes.

La ley Lacy hizo que hacerse pasar por policía fuera un delito grave y criminalizó el uso y la posesión de luces policiales.

Esto significa que los castigos son más severos y aquellos que son detenidos deben pagar una multa más alta y cumplir una condena más larga. Poseer luces policiales ahora constituye un delito menor.

Aunque no ocurre frecuentemente, la FCPS recuerda a los ciudadanos que es importante estar atento y tomar todas las medidas de seguridad posibles cuando un agente los pare.

Lori Loughlin taken into custody in college cheating scandal

By Richard Winton Los Angeles Times

Actress Lori Loughlin was taken into custody Wednesday morning in a sweeping college admissions corruption scandal.

Loughlin will be booked at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles and is expected to appear before a federal magistrate at 2 p.m. local time.

She was among dozens swept up in what prosecutors called the largest college admissions fraud scheme they’d ever seen.

On Tuesday afternoon, another actress, Felicity Huffman, made a brief court appearance in Los Angeles. She answered “yes” to several questions from the federal magistrate, including whether she understood the charges against her. She was seated in a glassed-off area with several other defendants. Her husband, actor William H. Macy, sat in court as the magistrate ordered her free on $250,000 bail. She was finally released from custody late Tuesday, exiting the courthouse to throngs of reporters.

She is expected to appear in a Boston courtroom March 29 to address the charges.

Huffman is accused of disguising a $15,000 charitable payment in the bribery scheme, according to court records. Prosecutors alleged she met with a confidential witness

who explained that he could control an SAT testing center and could arrange for someone to proctor her daughter’s test and correct it.

Huffman’s older daughter took the test in December 2017 and received a score of 1420. That was a 400-point improvement from her first test. In October, Huffman was recorded by the FBI allegedly discussing participating in the same scheme for her younger daughter; however, she did not ultimately pursue it.

Her attorney declined to comment.

Huffman did get some support Tuesday from playwright and longtime friend David Mamet. In an open letter, Mamet said: “That a parent’s zeal for her children’s future may have overcome her better judgment for a moment is not only unfortunate, it is, I know we parents would agree, a universal phenomenon.”

Loughlin, of “Full House” fame, and Huffman, whose credits include the hit ABC show “Desperate Housewives,” are charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. According to court records, Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, the creator of clothing brand Mossimo, “agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team”

Lori Loughlin attends the Premiere Of Disney’s “Mary Poppins Returns” at El Capitan Theatre on November 29, 2018 in Los Angeles, Calif. Loughlin is among dozens of people charged Tuesday in a nationwide college admissions cheating scandal, accused of paying up to $6 million to get their kids into elite schools.

even though they did not participate in crew.

The scheme centered on the owner of a for-profit Newport Beach college admissions company that wealthy parents paid to help their children cheat on college entrance exams and to falsify athletic records of students to enable them to secure admission to elite schools, including UCLA, USC, Stanford, Yale and Georgetown, according to court records.

The huge business of elite college admissions gets ugly

By Teresa Watanabe & Andrew Khouri Los Angeles Times

Students and parents have long suspected that money and connections help win access to top-tier colleges.

But the federal indictments unsealed Tuesday alleging a massive nationwide scam by wealthy parents _ including corporate titans and Hollywood actresses _ to get their children into prestigious universities floored even the most jaded observers of higher education.

And it reinforced what many say is a drastic imbalance between the uber-rich and everyone else in the hypercompetitive college admissions game.

“This is disgusting,” said Eloy Ortiz Oakley, chancellor of the California Community Colleges and a University of California regent who has long fought for wider access to higher education.

“It reinforces the notion that ... if you come from wealth you have a much greater chance of acceptance than if you’re just a normal working-class American.”

Susan Paterno, a Chapman University professor who is writing a book on college admissions, said the arena has become a $100 billion business that is reshaping American culture, exacerbating income inequality, restricting opportunity and corrupting higher education’s role in the nation’s democracy.

She said she met a test-prep company executive who admitted his tutors teach students to cheat on standardized tests, and she has found firms that charge as much as $40,000 for college admissions coaching.

“This is an amazing pulling back of the curtain on what we always suspected was happening,” Paterno said of the federal indictments. “But we thought they were isolated incidents ... and didn’t realize it was so widespread.”

She added, however, that only 2 percent of college applicants aim for Ivy League campuses and other elite institutions. The vast majority set their sights on state and local colleges and universities, she said.

Douglas Haynes, a University of California, Irvine vice provost for academic equity, diversity and inclusion, said the college admissions landscape began radically shifting in the 1990s. Students who used to apply to a few local colleges could more easily try their luck at dozens of schools using centralized online admissions platforms, such as the Common Application.

Colleges began recruiting more students _ both to increase diversity and to bring in revenue from application fees that helped them weather cyclical recessions, he said. At the same time, more applications lowered admission

rates, which helped campuses burnish reputations as selective institutions in highly influential college rankings published by U.S. News & World Report, he and Paterno said.

As state governments reduced public support for higher education, many campuses began recruiting students paying outof-state tuition, including many from other countries. That in turn swelled the number of applicants even more.

UCLA, the most popular university in the nation, now attracts more than 110,000 applications for about 6,000 freshman seats.

“All of this is driving manic competitiveness in college admissions at all levels,” Paterno said. “A lot of this hype is making families crazy.”

The University of California, the nation’s premier public research university system, has not been immune to admission and cheating scandals.

In 2007, the UCLA dentistry school was rocked by allegations that the children of wealthy donors received favorable admissions consideration in the highly competitive orthodontics residency program.

The campus in L.A.’s Westwood neighborhood subsequently prohibited influencing admissions with donations. And UC has eliminated preferential consideration for the children of alumni, a practice known as “legacy admissions” that tends to favor wealthier families.

“This is an amazing pulling back of the curtain on what we always suspected was happening. But we thought they were isolated incidents ... and didn’t realize it was so widespread.”

SUSAN PATERNO A CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR

The system also has moved toward a broader review of applicants to consider not only test scores and high school grades but also extracurricular activities, leadership and persistence over challenging circumstances, to widen access to a great swath of students.

Today, the UC system’s nine undergraduate campuses are widely regarded as powerful engines of social mobility. Four in 10 students are the first in their families to attend college, and financial aid covers tuition and fees for about two-thirds of students.

The 23-campus California State University system also ad-

mits and educates large numbers of low-income, first-generation college students. And the California Community Colleges, which educates about 2 million students across 114 campuses, has no entrance requirements, offering higher education to all.

But Oakley and others said more reforms are needed. As sensational as the alleged criminal scheme is, they say, the deeper problem is the way in which money legally gives well-heeled applicants an advantage in the college admissions game.

Mark Sklarow, chief executive of the Independent Educational Consultants Association, said donations can still give wealthy applicants a leg up. The process, which he said he’s not a fan of, doesn’t operate as a quid pro quo but as more of a wink and a nod. For example, Sklarow said someone in the donation office might promise to “walk it over to the admissions dean’s office” and ensure that they know about the significant gift.

Michael Dannenberg, a director with Education Reform Now, said that “binding early decision” programs, which give an edge to those who commit early to colleges but stop applicants from shopping around for better financial aid options, also favor the wealthy.

Varsha Sarveshwar, a UC Berkeley junior majoring in political science, said she knows people who have paid thousands of dollars for test prep and hired private college counselors as early as their middle school years to guide their class selection and extracurricular activities.

In other cases, wealthy parents have sent their children abroad for

volunteer work or helped them start businesses to burnish their college resumes.

“It’s pretty clear there’s a lot of deep-rooted inequity in the system,” Sarveshwar said.

She and Oakley say colleges should make SAT and ACT tests optional for college admissions _ a proposal that the UC and CSU systems are considering.

Paterno advocates government oversight of the unregulated college consulting industry and more generous state and federal funding to help middle-class, working-class and low-income students earn affordable college degrees.

Such funding should, for in-

stance, provide more college counselors for public high schools, she said. Other reform ideas include limiting federal work-study and merit aid programs to needier families and redirecting to community colleges money for subsidies and tax credits to for-profit colleges.

Oakley added that other states should emulate California’s robust financial aid program, among the most generous in the nation.

He supports eliminating legacy admissions and college rating systems that favor the wealthy.

“The real scandal is what is legal in college admissions,” Dannenberg said.

Opinion | Thursday, March 14, 2019

COLLEGIAN COLUMNIST

We need representation when it comes to counseling Kenia Ortiz @Keni_Ortiz

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by The Collegian or its editorial board.

The negative stigma of counseling has always existed and is especially present in communities of color.

The majority of people of color are raised in households where mental health is not discussed, believed in or taken seriously. Depression is a ‘phase,’ suicide is ‘a sign of weakness’ and anxiety is ‘made up.’

Counseling is seen as a waste of time and money. Many families of color take it as an insult to know a family member is going to someone else for help or take it as criticism for how their family functions. While mental health is dismissed, people are told to turn to religion instead.

Even when counseling is considered, PoC also shy away from attending due to the lack of representation. According to the American Psychological Association, as of 2013 Whites accounted for 83.6 percent of active psychologists while Asian, Black/African American, Hispanic and other racial/ ethnic groups accounted for approximately 16.4 percent.

As a person of color, I know there are things a White-identifying counselor cannot help me with. This is not to discredit them as professionals, but people of color hold experiences and concerns that others don’t and this can lead to stopping counseling and misdiagnosis.

It is hard enough for PoC to make a counseling appointment knowing family and friends will disapprove, but it is harder to attend a counseling appointment and leave not feeling understood or listened to. According to Pacific Psychotherapy of San Francisco, the field of psychotherapy often fails to understand how cultural background shapes everyday emotional and social experience.

“Racism, microaggressions and systematic oppressions all have an impact on one’s mental health.”

There is mistrust in medical professionals and counselors due to the racism in medicine and mental health. During the 19th-century, Samuel A. Cartwright, MD invented a mental health disorder called “drapetomania,” which he said is what caused African slaves to escape slavery, destroy property on the plantation and be disobedient to their masters.

Racism, micro-aggressions and systematic oppressions all have an impact on one’s mental health.

Melissa Lopez, a therapist committed to decolonized healing approaches, included a quote by Audre Lorde in her article “Therapy for People of Color in Los Angeles”: “Tell them about how you’re never really a whole person if you remain silent, because there’s always that one little piece inside you that wants to be spoken out, and if you keep ignoring it, it gets madder and madder and hotter and hotter, and if you don’t speak

it out one day it will just up and punch you in the mouth from the inside.”

As people of color, we live in a society that has systems built in order to oppress us. Because of these systems we experience things such as intergenerational trauma, racism, white supremacy, immigration laws and police violence.

Due to these experiences, PoC go to therapy feeling angry or scared and counselors label these feelings as unhealthy or sensitive, not taking into account or being able to understand the experiences they hold. According to Monnica T. Williams, a licensed clinical psychologist, many therapists take on the colorblind ideology, which is a form of racism.

By setting aside their patient’s race to focus on other issues, they are dismissing intersecting identities and their experiences as a person of color that contribute to their mental health.

Having more counselors of color shows communities of color that it is normal to attend counseling. If there are counselors of color, there is more likely to be patients of color too. The truth is, people gravitate to those who are like them and can understand them.

Having counselors of color allows racially-diverse patients to feel comfortable to share their questions and concerns regarding their culture, beliefs and values.

Racism, micro-aggressions and systematic oppressions all have an impact on one’s mental health.

Being able to talk to someone who will not only listen to and advise you but will also understand you builds a strong sense of trust and communication that every counseling patient deserves.

Nobody on campus can stop their skateboards and your shins are in danger

There is such a thing as ‘too big’

By Marshall Dunham

Shay Rego @shay_rego

@gnarshallfunham

Editor’s note: This is a satire piece from The Collegian’s opinion section. Real names may be used in fictitious/semi-fictitious ways. Those who do not read editor’s notes are subject to being offended.

In a recent interview with the Colorado State University Police Department, it was revealed that nobody that skates on campus knows how to stop a skateboard properly and that students should fear for the well-being of their shins.

“It’s a huge concern all over campus,” said CSUPD officer Vincent Ortega. “If you’re a person walking on campus, it’s likely that your shins are in massive amounts of danger.”

Ortega went on to explain that each year, the chances of a skater hopping off their board and sending a speeding, wooden projectile straight into your shins increases dramatically.

When asked how skateboarders would learn to properly brake their boards, skateboarder Alex Bishop declared that “stopping is really not something you learn at skate parks, it’s more about the kick flips and ability to give dirty looks to scooter kids that cut you off before a sick trick.”

“Its just a basic responsibility that comes with operating these projectiles. Do you think any good public service officer would operate a stun gun without fully understanding how to make it stop?”

VINCENT ORTEGA CSUPD OFFICER

Ortega added that the lack of understanding around the art of stopping is unfathomable to him at a place of higher learning like CSU. He later added that, usually, a person who has even the slightest amount of common sense or intelligence can figure out that the most logical way to get a skateboard to stop is by pressing down on the tail of the board and using the friction created between the board and

the concrete to slow down.

“I mean, Christ, it’s completely avoidable,” Ortega exclaimed. “It’s just a basic responsibility that comes with operating these projectiles.

Do you think any good public service officer would operate a stun gun without fully understanding how to make it stop?”

He then offered a few tips for keeping one’s shins safe.

“Its just a basic responsibility that comes with operating these projectiles. Do you think any good public service officer would operate a stun gun without fully understanding how to make it stop?”

“Some of us have just taken to wearing shin guards at all times,” Ortega said. “The other option is if you see someone with a Justin Bieber haircut and a Thrasher hoodie, just sprint the hell out of there as fast as you can.”

Ortega went on to say that, in an effort to combat the emer-shin-cy, CSUPD is actively recruiting moms to get into verbal disputes with the skateboarders.

“Everybody knows that a skateboarder’s arch nemesis is the soccer mom,” Ortega said. “Their quest for fairness and order really makes them a natural enemy of the skater culture.”

“Look man, hitting people’s shins is a necessary evil,” Bishop explained. “Because I’ll be damned if I’m going to scuff up my Vans just to save a few shin bones.”

Editor’s Note: The views expressed in the following column are those of the writer only and do not necessarily represent the views of The Collegian or its editorial board.

They say go big or go home and that bigger is always better. However, this is not always the case, especially with penises.

Some may argue a large penis is more enjoyable than a smaller sized penis, but there’s a certain point when too big becomes a problem.

For people in college, sexual activity can be considerably high.

We all want to make sure we’re all getting the best experience that we can, regardless of size.

The average erect penis is 5.16 inches in length according to the British Journal of Urology International. For purposes of discussion, this article will refer to a large penis as anything 6 inches and above.

It’s important to note that many people don’t even prioritize length as the main conductor of pleasure.

An interesting survey conducted

by BMC Women’s Health found that the majority of women prefer width rather than length. So keep that one in mind, fellas.

In fact, the above-average goods can cause potential negative health side effects for both men and women.

A study by the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior which observed sexual health with man-on-man homosexual sexual encounters found that it was more difficult for men with larger than averages penises to find properly fitted condoms which leads to higher risks of slippage or leakage. This issue can affect both homo and heterosexual relations.

An above average penis can also affect a man’s ego, possibly making themselves seem narcissistic due to the confidence their large package brings, according to a small survey done by journal Psychology of Men and Masculinity. So don’t let it get to your head, guys.

A penis too large poses many health risks both vaginally and anally. For instance, some short term damages include the possibility of the cervix becoming bruised from deep penetration or vaginal and anal fissures as well.

There could also be long term damages done to the body by forcing a large hot dog into a small bun.

If an unfit penis overstretches a vagina, it can lead to uterine prolapse.

Uterine prolapse happens when the pelvic muscles become stretched and weaken. This can happen to women of any age. This damage could also lead to potential recurring cervical cysts, uterus sensitivity and a higher risk of bleeding from penetration. ...there’s a certain point when too big becomes a problem.

Ciara Baird, an English major graduating this year, kindly shared her opinion on sex with large penises.

“It was not enjoyable, it was painful and there was bleeding which caused him to freak out.

Shouldn’t I be the one worried since I was the one bleeding...my vagina has been torn as well. Eventually, it healed but it caused more

NOPE

&

bleeding to happen if I was not properly lubricated,” said Baird.

And sometimes, not every puzzle piece is meant to fit together.

“There is a point, for me, when it becomes unenjoyable and just hurts. I have been with someone who was not only long but also very girthy and it was uncomfortable because it just felt like he did not fit and should not fit,” said Baird.

The science journal PLOS One held a study specifically on women’s preference for penis sizes. That study proved that women would prefer a slightly above-average sized penis for one-time hookups.

However, many of the women said this was not the case for a longterm partner.

Isabel Quire, a hospitality major in her first year, also has extensive personal experience with the subject. She was able to offer a different perspective on different potential damages of a large penis.

“I have definitely been bruised and sore. I’ve never felt the need to go to a doctor to have anything checked out, but my “recovery” process is lengthy,” said Quire.

While both women may not have entirely similar experiences, both women agree that damage is possible and proper lubrication with warm-up can help to ready the body for intercourse with the above average penis.

“A large penis is still very enjoyable... I would say foreplay is the most important thing for it to be enjoyable. Trying to force a large penis in is extremely painful, and just doesn’t work,” said Quire.

Everyone’s experience is different but it can be rationalized that if something doesn’t fit, we should not force it to fit. So next time you think bigger is better, remember you want pleasure and not pain.

SOFTBALL

Amber Nelson receives Mountain West Player of the Week award

By Ashley Potts @ashleypotts09

Colorado State University’s softball team has been on fire since the beginning of their season. The team currently boasts a 17-4 record and is on an eightgame winning streak in front of a home crowd. The success has been a team effort, though there have been many individual standouts.

This week, senior Amber Nelson really stood out. Her bat was hot and the league took notice, naming her Mountain West Player of the Week for the first time in her career. This also comes as the third weekly award in as many weeks for the Rams’ softball team.

Nelson helped the Rams in their dominating 5-0 effort in the Colorado State Classic II. Her four RBIs — including a single and a three-run home run — helped lift the Rams to a crushing 14-3 win over the University of Dayton. She also had two home runs in the second game against Dayton, both of which were three-run shots.

Nelson’s .778 batting average led the Rams through the weekend. She went 1.889 on seven hits, had three home runs and 11 RBIs and drew six walks, another team high. She

scored five runs throughout the weekend and didn’t record any errors.

This impressive performance from Nelson and the Rams wrapped up their non-conference play on a high note. The team will look to continue their success as they

begin Mountain West competition this weekend with a trio of games against Fresno State University at Ram Field.

The first of the three games will begin Friday, March 15 at 4 p.m.

DENVER NUGGETS

Nuggets get back to their selfless style versus Timberwolves

By TJ McBride Mile High Sports

The Denver Nuggets’ lackadaisical play after the All-Star break has been haunting them for the better part of three weeks.

The Nuggets, who have been consistently a top-two seed in the brutal Western Conference all season, were a mediocre 4-4 after the All-Star break. Their offense stagnated, their mentality turned somewhat individualistic and the ball uncharactaristically stopped flowing through Nikola Jokic.

Those issues eventually became worrisome enough that Nuggets’ head coach Michael Malone decided to have a fairly intense film session on Monday morning the day before taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Denver.

During the film session, Malone ripped into his players for their self-made struggles in order to get them back on track.

“I showed 13 clips today and I told the guys before we watched them, ‘if anybody in here is sensitive, get up and leave now’,” Malone explained on Monday morning after practice. “It was very open, very honest, and very direct about what a bad shot is, what a bad turnover is, and what selfish basketball looks like.

“Hopefully they hear the message and get back to playing the way we play.”

Fast forward just about 36 hours after that brutal film session and it is safe to say that the Nuggets heard the message their head coach was trying to convey as Denver absolutely demolished the Timberwolves 133-107.

“It was great,” Malone stated happily after clobbering the Timberwolves. “They just told me that was our highest assist total since 2013. After the last couple of days — the film sessions and just harping on ball movement and playing selfless and for each other — for us to go out there and get 40 assists on 51 field goals was refreshing and fun to watch. The message was delivered. The guys embraced it, accepted it, owned it, and went out there and played tonight at a very high level on the offensive end.”

Denver managed to put up 40 total assists as a team — the highest total by a Nuggets team since 2013 — on 51 made field goals against the Timberwolves. Denver also shot an incredible 60 percent from the field and an even more absurd 60 percent on 3-pointers despite taking 30 triples in the game. Den-

ver even had eight players register double-digit assists and four players scored 16 points or more as a cherry on top.

“It was really fun to play, of course,” Nikola Jokic said. “When everyone is sharing the ball, everyone is making everyone happy. We made a lot of shots that were assisted so we played the right way.”

A 40-assist game is really a spectacular milestone to reach. For context, the Warriors only have two games of 40-or-more assists on the year and they have arguably the most talented group of scorers ever assembled on one team.

“That was probably one of the best passing games that we have had,” Jamal Murray said after the win.

“When everyone is sharing the ball, everyone is making everyone happy. We made a lot of shots that were assisted so we played the right way.”

NIKOLA JOKIC FORWARD, CENTER

In addition to just the pure insanity of putting up 40 assists in one game, the most important aspect of Denver’s win is that they answered the challenge from their head coach.

“It felt great,” Mason Plumlee explained in the Nuggets locker room after another division win.

“We really responded to the film.

Coach pointed out some zero-pass and one-pass possessions and I thought we did a better job of sharing it tonight.”

One of the main reasons for Denver’s incredible offensive production against the Timberwolves just so happened to be yet another film study, but instead of using the Monday morning film session to attack the roster for their struggles, Malone decided to take a different approach and essentially showed the Nuggets a highlight package of how incredible they are when they play for each other and more altruistically; not individually.

“We played a couple clips before the game just to get us back in that mode and to see how good we are when we move the ball and guys are moving without the ball and when we are playing unselfish,” Barton explained to the media

in front of his locker after Denver’s bounce-back win.

If you ask Monte Morris, who had one of his best games of 2019, he will also will give Malone credit for, “refreshing,” the team by showing them how good they are when they are playing selflessly.

“He showed us a ten-play edited clip before the game of just when we play the right way,” Morris explained after putting up 16 points, five rebounds, and six assists in the win over Minnesota. “Simple basketball, the ball hopping, three or four passes, post-highs; we are hard to guard like that because everybody can score on our team.

That is what we wanted to do tonight and it was beneficial for us.”

Yes, the Nuggets bounced back in a big way tonight, but that does not mean their work is done. With just 16 games left until the playoffs arrive, Denver needs to get into a strong rhythm and stop shooting themselves in the foot from time to time.

“Even tonight, we played well, but in spurts we still had letdowns and stuff like that,” Barton said after the game.

Getting his team to understand the value of each possession is go-

ing to be a major focus for Malone for the remainder of the season.

Without learning that lesson, Denver will be at risk of unnecessary losses which could be damning during the final 16 games of the regular season and, more importantly, in the playoffs.

“There are times in games where we are up big and we kind of float for a couple of possessions,” Malone explained. “Moving forward, we have to eliminate those because in the playoffs every possession matters. We cannot afford to have a couple blown sets or not get back in transition or throw the ball all over the place.”

While the lack of consistency may be alarming at first glance, there is also a silver lining.

After 69 games, no one has seen the actualized version of this Denver squad. The Nuggets starting unit has only played a total of 152 minutes together and Denver has the most total games missed due to injury of any team this season. Oh, and on top of that, they entered the season as the second-youngest roster in the the entire National Basketball Association.

So, when Barton was asked if the best version of the Denver

Nuggets is still to come, he confidently said, “If you ask me, yeah.”

Now, after a quick skid from the Nuggets over the past five games, it seems that their win over the Timberwolves is the first step back towards Denver’s dominant play and they did so by playing, “Nuggets basketball,” as Malone says.

“Overall, we took care of business,” Malone said. “What a great way to start off this homestand coming off of a disappointing road trip. We played the right way tonight. That was probably the most important thing was that our guys understood what needed to be done and we changed and changed for the better.”

With 16 games left, there is still a ton of work for Denver to finish, but if you ask Mason Plumlee, he will tell you that everyone has the same mindset as Denver approaches the playoffs for the first time since the 2012-13 season.

“We are focused on the bigger picture right now,” Plumlee explained. “We have a chance to do something special and I think that is what is on everyone’s mind.”

‘Off Kilter, on Point’ gives a glimpse into 1960s life

By Lauryn Bolz @LauyrnBolz

Deep in Colorado State’s archives, a gold mine of 1960s-era paintings, sculptures and textile designs have been waiting to be displayed for the world to see.

All of the art displayed in “Off Kilter, on Point” is pulled from CSU’s permanent collection, which consists of gifts and donations given to the University, some going back decades before the Gregory Allicar Museum was established. Some of the artists that are featured have left their own mark on CSU, whether they are internationally known like Andy Warhol, or others like David Yust, a Colorado resident and faculty member whose art has recently been gaining attention in modern galleries.

Museum Director and Chief Curator Lynne Boland has had this exhibition in the works for a long time.

“This was really something that I had in mind for this museum before they even hired me as director. This collection was one of many reasons why I was really excited to come to CSU,” Boland said.

“My specialization as an art historian is two-fold — European art in

the 20th century and American art in the mid-century, and especially the 1960s — so this is very near and dear to my heart. Some of these artists I’ve published on before.”

Boland’s mission was to give new life to the historic artwork, but that process required more than just hanging art on the gallery walls.

“Some of these pieces had not been on (display) in our galleries because they required conservation treatment and in-depth research,” said Suzanne Hale, collections manager. “There is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes in preparation for an exhibition of pieces from the museum’s permanent collection.”

One of these pieces is displayed prominently at the entrance to the gallery. Takis’ “Sphère electromagnétique” is constructed from a large hanging sphere and an electromagnet. It was in storage at the College of Business for many years.

“It was a little depressing to see it in storage,” Boland said. “This is an incredibly important piece of art, especially for the history of art as it intercepts with technology.”

The striking piece of art, which looks as if it were straight out of a sci-fi film, stuns gallery visitors

upon first entering the gallery.

“Things like that are really exciting for me to be able to bring it back out, give it new life, put it on view in a context like this where it is surrounded by the other works of its kind,” Boland said.

CSU’s permanent collection of ’60s art is not only a source of pride for Boland, but many pieces are world-renowned and sought after by galleries. Acclaimed artist Charles Hinman’s “Cascade” was gifted to CSU in 1976 by two of the University’s most prominent art donors, John and Kimiko Powers. The brightly colored piece on shaped canvas, a new innovation for its time, was originally displayed in the Lory Student Center.

“I was just speaking to a curator on the East Coast who is putting together an exhibition, and I was showing her some work and she was blown away,” Boland said.

“That’s kind of the way it tends to be with our collection, people don’t know about it enough yet and when they find out about it they are absolutely amazed that we have what we have.”

Thegallery is in its last month, so it won’t be long before this historical art collection goes back into storage.

“I like to think that the phys-

ical presence of these artists and their art had a lasting impact on the community,” Hale said. “When I see college students with pop art clothing and gear, I wonder if this might have something to do with the wave of exhibitions at CSU in the ‘70s and ‘80s. During those years, many prominent artists, including Warhol and Rauschenberg, came to campus as visiting artists with exhibitions of their work.”

According to Boland, many of

the pieces in “Off Kilter, on Point” are highly desired by other museums.

“There is a critical mass of really world-class art,” Boland said.

“This could be in any museum in the world, MOMA would kill for some of this. It’s important to show. We have this stuff in our collection, we have a responsibility to make sure that it sees the light of day. It can’t just sit there.””

Lucky’s Market opens, offers quality local products

By Walker Discoe @wdiscoe

Fort Collins is home to a number of grocery stores that service a variety of needs, diets, and price points. Lucky’s Market joined the ever-competitive and growing grocery store lineup in Fort Collins March 6 by opening their doors at the intersection of Mulberry Street and College Avenue after a lengthy renovation of the former Sports Authority.

Founded in 2003 by two chefs from Boulder, the Lucky’s Market corporation currently operates 35 stores across 11 states, according to their website. Their website also lists some of their goals, including providing “quality products sold at affordable prices with genuine personal service,” describing themselves as “a specialty grocery store chain focused on natural, organic and locally-grown products.”

Anyone offering affordable prices on groceries is making a bold claim, especially when affordable can mean so many different things to different people. Lucky’s Markets prices are generally average but lean towards the pricier side for some products: just low enough to remind you that you’re not in a Whole Foods, but certainly not inside a King Soopers.

Deli sandwiches start at $7.99, cheese ranges anywhere from a few dollars to near $20, and their ice cream section has a noticeable but not painful uptick in prices compared to other grocery stores.

“I think that we’re definitely accessible for campus and have great pricing to attract students,” said store director Tania Ellis. “We want to provide good food at a good price, and I think we’re doing that well.”

Lucky’s Market was meticulously planned, developed and placed to create a sense of community. Ellis said the store distinguishes itself from regular grab-and-go grocery stores by being a place where people can truly enjoy shopping for food.

“I’d like to think that the vibe is alluring,” Ellis said. “It’s a beautiful facility; we’ve got

great light … but I don’t think the building was built for speed, more from a place of heart.

When I was hired, the (store) map looked different, so I’d say it’s far from well planned. It’s been more of a conversation …

So, everyone wants it to be the best store that it can be.”

Lucky’s Market emphasizes its available fruits and vegetables with a prominent produce section that has both organic and conventional produce. Ellis said the types of produce are grouped together so customers can make a choice on whether or not they want organic fruits and vegetables.

“The flow in produce is new; we don’t have another store in the company that uses that kind of flow in produce,” Ellis said. “I was passionate about putting all the apples with the apples, all the citrus with the citrus and having the customer be able to make the choice between conventional produce and organic produce in that category.”

Lucky’s Market also works to find distributors, manufacturers and farmers local or near the Fort Collins area.

“Right now, obviously being the middle of the winter there’s not a ton of local available,” said Chris Henning, produce manager at Lucky’s Market.

“Sourcing (local) is definitely an advantage because it reduces our carbon footprint…I want to have a familiarity in our store and in our produce department where a customer can come in where they might only be shopping at the farmers market two days a week because those are the only days that they’re open.

I want to be able to kind of be their farmer’s market seven days a week.”

Why you still can’t stream De La Soul’s landmark album

Beyoncé and Jay-Z to be honored by GLAAD for being LGBTQ allies

By Glenn Gamboa

By Dorany Pineda

Newsday

Los Angeles Times

De La Soul should be celebrating the 30th anniversary of its landmark debut “Three Feet High and Rising,” which almost immediately influenced hip-hop when it was released on March 3, 1989, and has only grown in stature since then, even though it has never been sold digitally and hasn’t been made available on any streaming services.

“After 30 long years of good music and paying their debt to hip-hop, De La Soul unfortunately, will not taste the fruit of their labor. Your purchases will go 90 percent Tommy Boy, 10 percent De La.” DE LA SOUL ARTIST

That was supposed to change on March 1, when Tommy Boy Records planned to put “Three Feet,” which became the second hip-hop album to become part of the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry in 2011, on all the major streaming services. However, according to De La Soul, the record company hadn’t solved the sample clearance issues that has kept the album from being re-released for years. The trio from Amityville was also unhappy with the way the earnings would be split so Posdnuos, Trugoy and Maseo decided to fight the release and take their battle to the public.

“After 30 long years of good music and paying their debt to hip-hop, De La Soul unfortunately, will not taste the fruit of their labor,” De La Soul posted on Instagram. “Your purchases will go 90 percent Tommy Boy, 10 percent De La.” De La’s battle drew plenty of support. Jay-Z told them his streaming service Tidal would not carry the group’s catalog until the disagreement was resolved. Nas and Questlove organized a boycott of Tommy Boy Records. “This narrative has been going on since the blues, since jazz, since rock n roll, since disco, since soul,” Questlove posted on Instagram.

“I’m proud of De La for using their voice. Let’s fix this. For the greater good.”

The controversy led to Tommy Boy postponing the streaming release of the album, telling

Variety in a statement, “We know fans are eager to hear these amazing recordings and we are hopeful for a quick resolution.”

However, the issues surrounding “Three Feet High and Rising” only get tougher to solve with time. Because the album’s samples weren’t completely cleared by the label in 1989, when the costs were less, the price of securing the samples could be prohibitively expensive. (To get around the issue for the album’s 25th anniversary, De La Soul offered the album as a free download to fans for 25 hours in 2014.)

We can still hope that with all the attention, though, maybe 30 will become “The Magic Number.”

This year’s GLAAD Media Awards will recognize one of the music industry’s most influential power couples.

On Monday, the LGBTQ media advocacy organization announced that Beyonce and Jay-Z will be honored with this year’s Vanguard Award for being allies to the LGBTQ community.

The Vanguard Award is presented to artists who have promoted acceptance of LGBTQ people.

Past recipients include Britney Spears, Kerry Washington, Cher, Whoopi Goldberg, Janet Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor, Antonio Banderas, Demi Lovato, Eric McCormack and Jennifer Lopez.

“Beyonce and Jay-Z are global icons and passionate defenders

of human rights and acceptance for all people,” said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis in a statement. “When Beyonce and Jay-Z speak, the world becomes inspired and when it comes to LGBTQ people, their voices of acceptance have been heard loud and clear.”

Last year, Jay-Z was honored with GLAAD’s special recognition award for his song “Smile.” His mother, Gloria Carter, was featured in the song and music video, where she came out as a lesbian.

Madonna will also be honored during the organization’s media awards ceremony in New York City in May. Ross Mathews will host this year’s 30th GLAAD Media Awards on March 28 at the Beverly Hilton.
