Construction management panel talks education abroad

By Holly Murfey @hollymurfey

Construction wasn’t the only topic that came up during a recent construction management education abroad panel; life experiences and stories from abroad joined the conversation.

The U.S. Green Building Council held a panel Tuesday in the Preconstruction Center where four panelists discussed their experiences studying construction management abroad. Students gathered to learn about the various education abroad opportunities and where to go from there.

School of Global Environmental Sustainability celebrates 10th year

By Corbin Reiter @CorbinReiter

The School of Global Environmental Sustainability sponsored a symposium Tuesday on modern sustainability issues in the Lory Student Center in

honor of their 10th anniversary of being on the Colorado State University campus.

Throughout the day, the sponsors held panels to address the future of sustainability in our transitioning society. These panels included the future of sustainability through the per-

spective of new scientists, a discussion of the Green New Deal, how climate change can contribute to a growing lack of biodiversity and how to incorporate sustainability in leadership.

Ten years after the addition of SoGES to the CSU campus,

there are now nearly 70 students involved in the GES minor, spanning eight colleges at CSU, said Dale Lockwood, academic coordinator for the school.

Student Fee Review Board approves 3 fee increase proposals

By Charlotte Lang @ChartrickWrites

The Student Fee Review Board voted to approve three fees proposed by Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement, Career Center and Athletics Department.

The Career Center proposed a $1.65 increase due to mandatory costs, the Athletics Department asked to keep their current fee of $5.07 and the SLiCE fee proposal was for a 52 cent mandatory increase for salary.

As we finish the football season and get that done, we have to turn our attention to our other sports. One of the things that we really need to do is a softball-soccer complex.”

Steve Cottingham, deputy athletic director Jon Cleveland, executive director of career services, presented the Career Center’s proposed fee increase. The $1.65 increase would bring the current fee from $32.55 to $34.20.

The Career Center serves all schools and colleges in the University, Cleveland said. The center averages 3,600 advising appointments and 250 events a year, including seven major career fairs.

“We engage in over 800 employers and we have awesome career outcomes, which is the number of students that are coming out getting jobs and en-

tering into graduate schools,” Cleveland said. “So we’re doing really good work.”

“As we finish the football season and get that done, we have to turn our attention to our other sports. One of the things that we really need to do is a softballsoccer complex.”

STEVE COTTINGHAM DEPUTY ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

Cleveland also said that the center’s numbers on their budget template have been shifting as a result of the center being without an executive director for about 13 months prior to his coming in July. The center has also had a new budget manager put in place.

“I’ve been digging in with the new budget manager and there were a few places where we just saw numbers shift,” Cleveland said. “Places where our projections were a little bit off, where a wrong number was here or there. So we cleaned up a lot of that stuff.”

Cleveland also noted that the center’s fund balance is lower with the trajectory headed in a downward trend. He said that this was changed from his new

leadership.

“We started with a fund balance that was just wrong,” Cleveland said.

He added the center is in a period where they are overspending and the fund balance is going down. To fix that trend, the plan is to dig into the budget and get into a place where there’s a set baseline.

The Athletics Department was represented by Athletic Director Joe Parker, Deputy Athletic Director Steve Cottingham and Associate Athletic Director Matt Klein, as well as two student-athletes.

The Athletics Department asked to remain at their current fee of $5.07 per semester.

Cottingham said that this fee was originally approved approximately 10 years ago to fund some work in Moby Arena.

Though the bonds for that plan are ending this year, the department would like the current fee to remain so that they can now fund a new softball-soccer complex.

“As we finish the football season and get that done, we have to turn our attention to our other sports,” Cottingham said.

“One of the things that we really need to do is a softball-soccer complex.”

The proposed project would be about $6.3 million and would allow the department to shift the soccer field west towards Shields and slide softball southwest, as well as add a building

with restrooms and concessions.

“It would really make a big difference to those sports and really give them a home for the first time,” Cottingham said.

Parker discussed the importance and positive effects of athletic programs on applications and enrollment.

“When we see positive impacts in athletics, there are results that relate to and translate to diverse enrollment, higher enrollment and higher demand for education,” Parker said.

Student-athletes in soccer and softball were present to discuss the benefits of having a complex for their sports.

They said that women’s soccer

doesn’t have a home to call their own and that the softball team is known for having the worst softball facilities in the Mountain West conference.

If the budget is left as it is, then the department expects to receive the Board of Governer’s approval for the project.

According to the athletics cover sheet for their request, their goal is to “utilize resources in the best interest of students and student-athletes while representing Colorado State University on a national level.”

The initial vote for all fee proposals passed.

Two suspects arrested for Fort Collins kidnapping, assault

By Olivia Armagno @OArmagno

Two suspects were arrested in Fort Collins on Sunday for breaking into a home and assaulting three people, according to a press release from Fort Collins Police Services.

Police responded to an area hospital Nov. 23, 2018, to investigate the report of several patients facing serious assault injuries.

Detectives determined that suspects Michael Syvertson and Dimitri Shokrikhanegah came to Colorado to confront the victims who had previously worked for Syvertson in California, according to the release.

Syvertson believed the victims had stolen marijuana from his farming operation.

Syvertson and Shokrikhanegah traveled to Fort Collins, found the victims at an area residence, held them captive and assaulted them.

According to the release, after searching the home, the suspects threatened the victims and their families if they sought medical care or contacted the

CSU advises preserving mental health during midterms

By Laura Studley @laurastudley_

Midterm season is here Rams. Mental health has fallen to the wayside, and taking its place are sleep deprivation, stress, anxiety and depression.

The academic calendar gives rise to student stress as they navigate through countless study guides, flashcards and powerpoints when each new testing season ensues.

“Stress and anxiety are the top two factors who negatively impact academics,” said Janelle Patrias, manager of mental health initiatives. “It has this cycle where students are stressed by their academics, that’s their primary stressor but then when they feel this exacerbated stress it actually limits

their success in the classroom…

It makes perfect sense that your stressor is academics.”

Combining stress from multiple facets including school, work and private life bring challenges that students must face daily These obstacles add to the present stress and anxiety of their upcoming tests.

Patrias said engaging in selfcare is necessary to continue being successful during midterm season. Often, students don’t take the time to stop and relax with the late night study sessions and coffee keeping them awake.

“Sometimes people will throw themselves into studying all day long, and our brains need a break to rejuvenate,” Patrias said. “Give yourself a break to do something. Whether that’s watching something, or prefer-

ably getting outside and getting a little dose of nature, even just taking a walk around your residence hall a couple times could be good ways to manage stress.”

“You need a balance.

School is not supposed to be everything . . .

Work is not supposed to be everything or socializing is not supposed to be everything. ” MEKDELAWIT DESTA LEARNING PROGRAM COORDINATOR

For students to maximize success in their academic ca-

reers, there are basic needs that need to be met first in order to have high success and motivation.

Mekdelawit Desta, learning program coordinator for The Institute for Learning and Teaching, said that food, sleep and rest are the three things that are imperative for student achievement. If a student does not meet these basic requirements, it impacts the student physically and mentally, jeopardizing their success.

“You need a balance,” Desta said. “School is not supposed to be everything . . . Work is not supposed to be everything or socializing is not supposed to be everything. In life, one of the things you need to learn is balancing yourself so then you’re not feeling all this pressure.”

Both Patrias and Desta put

a strong emphasis on the importance of sleep during this time of high stress. Desta said research has shown that if an individual is not getting enough sleep, their stress level increases.

“For a long time we used to think that depression and anxiety caused poor sleep,” Patrias said. “Now we really realize it’s bi-directional, so having poor sleep is actually precipitating and worsening stress and anxiety.”

Kamala Harris details plan to boost teacher pay by average of $13,500

By Del Quentin Wilber Los Angeles Times

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris on Tuesday announced details of her plan to boost salaries for teachers across the country.

The junior senator from California talked about the plan over the weekend at a campaign event in Houston, saying it would represent “the largest federal investment in teachers’ salaries in the history of the United States.”

The plan is one of the early key policy priorities of her 2020 run for the White House.

“I am declaring to you that by the end of my first term, we will have improved teacher salaries so that we close the pay gap, because right now teachers are making over 10 percent less than other college-educated graduates,” Harris said during the campaign event Saturday at Texas Southern University.

Ahead of the formal release, a campaign aide said the plan would raise average teacher pay by $13,500. Under Harris’ proposal, the federal government would be responsible for getting the ball rolling with the first 10

percent of the funding needed.

States would then be able to access federal matching funds that would provide $3 in federal support for every $1 of new state money, up to the point that the estimated gap with other college-educated workers closes.

“For every teacher in America and for the 91 percent of kids who attend our public schools, this is one of the most thoughtful initiatives we’ve seen in years.”

RANDI WEINGARTEN PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS

“The federal government will make an additional targeted investment beyond just closing the gap to pay teachers in America’s highest-need schools more than other comparable professionals in their state. Students and teachers of color disproportionately learn and work in these schools,” a Harris aide said in a

statement.

Arne Duncan, who served as secretary of education in the Obama administration, was among the first to offer support for the early outline of the proposal.

“Radical idea: pay the professionals we entrust to teach, nurture and mentor our children a better salary!” Duncan tweeted on Saturday.

Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, was also among those offering advance praise for Harris.

“For every teacher in America and for the 91 percent of kids who attend our public schools, this is one of the most thoughtful initiatives we’ve seen in years.

Sen. Harris is making sure that if we say teachers and education are important, we actually treat them that way,” Weingarten said in a statement. “While Donald Trump and Betsy DeVos have slashed programs and pushed a federal budget that makes the situation worse, Sen. Harris has crafted a concrete commitment to make things better.”

“Sen. Harris’ intervention spells out the clear choice faced by all 2020 candidates: whether

PHOTO BY MARCUS YAM/ LOS ANGELES TIMES

to invest new resources, or revert to the failed top-down, testand-punish mentality of decades past,” she added.

Teachers’ unions have traditionally formed a key Democratic constituency.

The Harris campaign predicted that the federal portion of the plan would cost an estimated $315 billion over the next decade, and it could be paid for with changes to the estate tax

that would boost revenue.

“You can judge a society by the way it treats its children, and one of the greatest expressions of love that a society can give to its children is educating those children with the resources they need,” Harris said Saturday.

“And teachers are our greatest resource in that endeavor.”

Scheduling sex can improve its quality Shay Rego @shay_rego

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.

No matter how busy our schedules are, we all need a little bit of sexy time. Actually scheduling time to jump in the sack can improve the quality of the activity itself.

As college students our schedules are full of studying and exams, making it almost impossible to have time for fun. However, this may work to our advantage as scheduling time for sex with your partner or a hook-up may just improve the quality of the session.

We may already not be having as much sex as we think we do. According to the International Society of Sexual Medicine, only two percent of single

men ages 18-24 and only five percent of single women ages 18-24 have sex four or more times per week.

While the thought of scheduling sex may seem weird and unspontaneous, a lot of people do it to get the job done.

According to a study done by EdenFantasys, 52 percent of Americans admitted to scheduling time for sex.

Scheduling sex can be a good idea because it allows us to look forward to something and build anticipation. A study conducted by the journal Brain and Behavior found that the human brain rewards incentive affects the brains reward response. So, if the brain has something to look forward to it will feel more rewarded and pleased once it receives its reward solely because of the build-up and anticipation.

“Over half of us, about 52 percent of Americans, admitted to scheduling time for sex.”

Another good reason for scheduling sex is because it allows us to mentally and physically prepare for the activity.

A similar study by the journal Psychology Research showed

that optimal preparedness for a task developed of divergent thinking showed a rise in dopamine levels.

When you know the sex is coming, it allows us to get excited and attend to our pre-sex duties better. It’s also a huge relief knowing that there was ample time to prepare for the deed.

Making time means it will also, more likely than not, happen. Of course, things come up and plans change but scheduling sex can more than likely guarantee sex, at least more so than if it weren’t scheduled.

Random, fast-paced hookups don’t happen as often as we may think. A study by the Review of General Psychology found that only 34 percent of women and 61 percent of men engage in intercourse within a day of meeting a partner.

A study by the Scandinavian Journal of Primary Health Care proposed that having control over a schedule is a factor that could lead to better commitment to the plan. A scheduled sex session gives for more probability than waiting around for the spur of the moment coitus or a random hookup.

For relationships, scheduling sex can also help to get things out of a rut. For people with busy schedules, purposefully setting aside time and

knowing for sure can help take the pressure off of each other while ensuring it’s goinvg to happen and bring the bang back.

The Journal of Sex Research conducted a study on how relationships specifically can gain sexual intimacy from a schedule. The findings essentially concluded that these sexually conscientious cou-

ples had better sexual function overall.

So whether it’s a quickie with your life long lover or a dick appointment with that Tinder flirt, scheduling the deed can elevate its consistency and improve its satisfaction levels. We have make time to jump in the sack.

Modern feminism has lost sight of equality Renee Ziel @reneezwrites

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.

With March being Women’s History Month, the term “feminism” is making its way back to daily conversations.

Today, when someone says they are a feminist they often mean it when it serves their interests. Women in modern society struggle to lift one another up regardless of identity, especially when the “other group” is facing a struggle they don’t want to be part of.

The Merriam-Webster definitions of feminism are “the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes” and “organized activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests.”

Feminism, therefore, is the advo-

cacy of all women’s rights on the basis of lifting them up to the standard men have been at.

It is not the exclusion of women of color nor transgender women. It is also not blatant hatred for men. Or rather, it shouldn’t be.

Some call this stance idealistic, but the only reason it seems so is because they don’t want to strive for better. The idea that people can coexist without being oppressed on the basis of their gender identity or race is by no means radical or unattainable. This is especially true in a society where harmony and kindness are needed.

Early women’s rights movements are rooted in discrimination. Women’s suffrage notably left women of color out. Some more infamous female leaders of the late nineteenth century were Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. They made great strides for women, but they only advocated for those who were white.

Black women have gotten the short end of the stick for too long.

Even as our generation stands as the most educated and diverse

yet, African American women are among those left with the most disadvantages, such as the pay gap, police brutality, and inferior healthcare.

Although women legally gained the right to vote in 1920, women of color were also barred and beaten for years more. White women collectively did not stand with them. The same toxicity of white feminism still occurs today and warps into the idea of being a “white savior.”

“The issue now with [modern feminism] is that, although it’s more inclusive than in the past, a lot of white feminists want to give a voice to women of color instead of having women of color use their own voice,” said Leah Snyder, a First Year Women’s Studies major.

Race is not the only obstacle in the way of true equality among women. TERFs, trans-exclusionary radical feminists, are a recent movement that has consistently acted against transgender women. Earlier this year, distinguished transgender activist Sarah McBride was harassed by TERFs at

Tension between campus geese, squirrels on rise

By Ethan Vassar @ethan_vassar

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 the editor’s notes are subject to being offended.

FORT COLLINS - Just a few weeks after a snow day, springtime has arrived in full force. Highs are reaching up into the 70s on weather forecasts, dads are breaking out the cargo shorts, and Chacos and Birkenstocks are becoming more apparent on Colorado State University’s campus.

Despite many students rejoicing the return of warm weather, there is one unforeseen consequence of the sunny days ahead that could have dire repercussions. No, it is not seeing people’s nasty toes poking out of their sandals.

The return of warm weather means the return of geese that flew south for the winter and the emergence of squirrels. Both of these animals call CSU’s campus home and battle lines will be drawn as they fight to reassert their dominance and ownership of different parts of campus.

With five parts of campus cur-

rently under construction, areas for geese and squirrels to inhabit have shrunk since this time last year. Tensions between the two are at an all-time high as they wrestle for control over spots of campus.

“One time a squirrel stole my Juul, so I hope the geese tear those f*ckers up.”

ETHAN VASSAR SATIRICAL WRITER

Traditionally, the geese have claim over the west side of campus. The Lagoon by the Lory Student Center and intramural fields are their most concentrated areas, but some geese have begun staking out areas around Canvas Stadium. Squirrels are more spread out, but can traditionally be spotted in the Oval and around Braiden Hall and Eddy.

This leaves The Plaza and southeast areas of campus like Yates as the most contested space.

Campus officials have warned students to not provoke either animal if spotted in these areas, nor engage in any activity assisting one

or the other.

Despite this neutrality encouraged by CSU, many students have taken sides in the struggle for campus supremacy. Sophomore Doreen Green is rooting for the geese to reign supreme. She explains her support of the geese, saying: “One time a squirrel stole my Juul, so I hope the geese tear those f*ckers up.”

Senior Anthony Bradshaw doesn’t share this sentiment.

“I hope the squirrels win. I never feel safe walking to class with geese around,” Bradshaw says. “The day I learned that geese have teeth was the day I regretted choosing CSU.” It’s the sharp, nightmarish teeth God decided to give geese for some abhorrent reason that should give them the upper hand.

Tony Frank has wisely declined to comment on the situation. His support of squirrels would just further legitimize the theory that he is 20 - 30 squirrels in a suit.

With this war for campus supremacy, it should be a pretty eventful end to the spring semester. We at The Collegian will keep you updated on all things geese vs squirrel.

a Washington D.C. meeting. They consistently misgendered her and accused her of hating women and lesbians.

Another issue with modern feminism is that it doesn’t include men.

There is a common misconception that feminism is about putting women higher than men.

Feminism is about liberating women from misogyny and providing women with rights they have long been denied. Equality in this sense is about finally putting them on the same level as men rather than treating them the same.

As psychologist Joe Kort discusses with Psychology Today, microaggressions are subtle and indirect forms of discrimination that people easily overlook. While microaggressions are prominent among several groups, I’ve heard too many from supposed feminists to men.

Kort begins by addressing familiar statements against people of color, women, and LGBT+ individuals. Then he addressed the

ways in which these have been used against men.

It is true that patriarchy has consistently put women below men, but as Kort states, “Patriarchy includes a rigid standard of looks and behavior, and men who fail to follow the standard are tormented ruthlessly.” Society puts a lot of pressure on women, but it puts a lot of pressure on men too.

Feminism is not feminism if it does not include the rights of women of color, transgender women, and men. Feminism is not feminism if one group is forced to stand on the sidelines or is treated less because of their identity. Feminism is not feminism if it loses sight of equality. In the words of prominent feminist and actress Emma Watson, “[W]e should stop defining each other by what we are not and start defining ourselves by who we are.”

The fact of the matter is, we’re all human.

Softball extends win streak to 15 after road victory against UNC

By Junior Guererro @juniorg45

Colorado State University softball took a break from their current tear through Mountain West opposition to take a quick trip to the University of Northern Colorado Tuesday afternoon. The Rams looked to keep their impressive 14 game win streak alive, and that’s exactly what they did.

UNC is going through a pretty rough year. The Bears have a record of 5-25 and have lost five of their last six games. But they are a dangerous team, as they have nothing to lose. The Rams were well aware of their record but knew they couldn’t take them lightly.

In the first two innings of the contest, both teams failed to score any runs. It looked like a pitchers duel from the very start. In order to win the game, each team needed to grind out each at-bat and take full advantage of opportunities with runners in scoring position.

The Bears were the first team to get on the board in the third inning. The Rams failed to score in the third inning and were down 1-0 halfway through the game.

Both teams failed to score in the fourth inning and the game remained 1-0.

After keeping the Bears off the scoreboard in the top of the fifth inning, the Rams were in desperate need of a spark to get them back into the game. The Rams were able to manufacture a run via sac fly from sophomore Tara Shadowen. The score was knotted up 1-1 after five innings.

The Bears came back in the sixth inning with another run of their own, making the score 2-1.

The Rams went scoreless in the sixth inning. If the Rams wanted to win this game, they were going to have to do it in comeback fashion.

NOTABLE NUMBERS ■ The Rams have not lost since

Feb. 24, when they fell to No. 2 ranked UCLA. ■ Nine of the Rams’ 15 wins have ended early due to run-rule.

■ During their 15 game win streak, the Rams have scored nine or more runs 10 times.

With only three outs to play, the Rams were in desperation mode. They needed a run by any means necessary, and that’s exactly what they got.

Junior Ashley Ruiz came in clutch with an RBI single to tie the game at 2. The Rams held the Bears in check in the bottom of the seventh and pushed the game into extra innings.

With momentum from the seventh inning, the Rams were

able to put two more runs on the board in the eighth. Haley Donaldson and Corina Gamboa came up huge with an RBI double each to extend the lead to 4-2.

The Rams were three outs away from completing the comeback and leaving Greeley with a gritty victory in extra innings. The Bears had other ideas. UNC tried to complete a comeback of their own in the eighth inning.

One run came across, making the game 4-3 Rams. Things were getting scary, but the Rams found a way to close the game.

The Rams remained resilient throughout the entire game and came out victorious. The game may have not gone the way the Rams wanted it to, but they still won. This victory extended the Rams’ win streak to an impressive 15 games.

“I was happy with our patience at the plate and happy how we came back twice,” Head Coach Jen Fisher said in a press release.

“I am happy that we were able to sneak out of here with a win.”

This season is one for the books for the Rams and they are nowhere near finished.

The Rams resume conference play March 29 against Utah State.

The first game of the series will take place at 4 p.m. on Ram Field.

Jessica Jarecki earns second Mountain West Pitcher of the Week award

Mountain West names Shadae Lawrence Athlete of the Week

By Junior Guererro

@TMeguire

@Juniorg45

The Rams owe much of their success this season to impressive pitching. If pitchers have great outings and keep the opposing team off the scoreboard, it gives the offense confidence, making it easier to score runs. And, junior transfer Jessica Jarecki has played an enormous role in the Rams’ success.

Jarecki was awarded Mountain West Pitcher of the Week Honors March 26. This is her second time earning this award this season and the fifth total weekly accolade as a team. In her last two outings, Jarecki has been on top of her game.

In two starts against New Mexico, Jarecki allowed just 10 hits, and four earned runs total.

Jarecki also struck out 14 total batters and earned herself two wins. She has been consistent all season long and those two games add to that.

Jarecki’s stellar pitching also led the Rams to their first sweep of New Mexico since 2013. This is another outstanding achievement for the Rams in a season full of amazing moments.

CSU softball is on an impressive 14 game win streak. Their last six games were against Mountain West opponents in Fresno State and New Mexico. Winning conference games is key for the Rams, and starting off 6-0 is picture perfect.

The Rams’ hot plays lately

By Tyler Meguire Colorado State University’s Shadae Lawrence has been named Mountain West Women’s Field Athlete of the Week after her performance at the Fum McGraw Open over the weekend.

Lawrence debuted for Colorado State on Saturday and did so in an impressive manner.

She won the discus event with a mark of 186-3 (56.78m). She is now ranked fourth in the NCAA for discus, and her mark towers

the rest of the Mountain West participants by 16 feet.

Lawrence now ranks fifth on both the Mountain West’s and Colorado State’s all-time outdoor lists.

The heavily decorated senior has been dominating before coming to CSU. She holds the all-time discus record in Kansas State’s history. Lawrence is a three-time FirstTeam All-American performer in the discus (2016, 2017, 2018).

Lawrence won the 2018 NCAA title for discus, and was the runner up at the 2017 NCAA championship. She has won

the Jamaican National Championship in the discus and currently holds the Big 12 Championship’s all-time record in the discus.

Lawrence’s personal record of 205-4.25 (62.59m) is better than any current NCAA athlete by more than four feet.

Colorado State’s next meets will be at the Stanford Invitational and the Tom Benich Invitational April 5 and 6. The former will be in Stanford, Calif April 5 and the latter in in Greeley April 6.

have them ranked in the top 25 in Softball America’s Poll. Sitting at No. 24, the Rams look to continue climbing up the rankings throughout the rest of the season.

The Rams are currently sitting at the top of the Mountain West Conference and look to remain there as conference play continues.

Their next conference series will take place on March 29 through 31 against Utah State in Fort Collins. Game one will begin on Ram Field at 4 p.m.

Feminist conference promotes discussion on modern feminism

By Maddie Wright @maddiewright

Bee educated, bee entertained and bee encouraged.

That’s the thought behind this year’s Feminist Thought and Activism Conference, which draws inspiration from the honeybee. The 14th annual conference will take place in the Lory Student Center March 30 and will be free and open to the Colorado State University community from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

The conference is one day with multiple sessions and keynote speakers, Mala Muñoz and Diosa Femme, all with the goal to educate, entertain and encourage discussion surrounding gender and other social justice issues.

Gray Greening, a presenter for the conference, explained the inspiration behind the honeybee theme.

“Honey bees specifically are very collective,” Greening said.

“They’re kind of like a feminist colony and they work towards the collective upliftment of each other and that was kind of what we were looking for, like to work together, to learn together, to grow together.”

According to a Women and Gender Advocacy Center newsletter, there is a connection with the “eusocial behaviour in which all take responsibility in the rearing of the young.”

The newsletter also states that this year’s conference should inspire thought and action on caring for communities and working towards a positive collective well-being.

“Generally, we want to provide free education,” Greening said. “Just a space for people to be vulnerable and to kind of question things, we just want people to learn overall.”

To get in the mood for some feminist discussions on Saturday, here are some feminist pieces in popular culture to stock your mind.

To Listen To: Muñoz and Femme, share the podcast “Locatora Radio: A Radiophonic Novela,” which seeks to celebrate the “experiences, brilliance, creativity, and legacies of femmes and womxn

of color.” The podcast explores the experiences of all intersections of women, unpacking complex subjects such as structural marginalization, politics and mental health.

“Supa Dupa Fly,” by Missy Elliot, is a badass jam sure to get people in the mood to dismantle the patriarchy. Before Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, Elliot (along with other early women rappers) changed up the boys club of the hip hop scene, which is gorgeously exemplified in this track.

Beyonce’s 2016 album, “Lemonade.” Enough said.

To Watch: The Emmy Award-winning dystopian drama series “The Handmaid’s Tale” shares a scary future where women

who can have children are summoned to do that and only that.

The show looks into the complexities of women’s rights, and where society would be without them.

In a bit of a lighter tone, the comedy series “Broad City,” written by and starring comedians Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson, tries to change up gender roles and normalize taboos all while being a funny show by two funny women.

There is a whole playlist with TEDtalks just on feminism through multiple different lenses, including the popular “The power of women’s anger”

by Soraya Chemaly and “Why I’m done trying to be ‘man enough,’” by “Jane the Virgin” actor Justin Baldoni. The talks’

subjects range from women in politics, the harms of toxic masculinity, feminism in religion and the reality of sex work.

“Mad Max: Fury Road,” directed by George Miler, takes us on a journey with women and their freedom as a central theme and as main, visible characters. There are plenty of badass fight scenes throughout the film, portraying women as strong and collaborative.

“Thelma and Louise” is an absolute classic starring two dames, Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, on a road trip that takes a different direction as they run from the law.

To Read: “We Should All Be Feminists” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie shows stories and anal-

yses about what it means to be a feminist, especially in the 21st century.

“Bad Feminist” by Roxane Gay is a collection of essays that looks at the tension that exists with liking things that are sometimes at odds with feminist ideologies.

MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT

Trash Cat welcomes Fort Collins to their album debut ‘Trash City’

By Lauryn Bolz @laurynbolz

The futuristic, pop culture infused trio Trash Cat is bringing electropop to northern Colorado with their debut album, “Welcome to Trash City.”

The band is the brainchild of Greeley couple Brian and Mary Claxton alongside their friend and musical collaborator Hayden Farr. The Claxtons and Farr met through their mutual involvement with a soul funk band, The Burroughs, where they soon found they had more in common than their musical style: Saturday morning cartoons.

“I think it was our first time watching Steven Universe, and we wrote a song about it,” Farr said.

Inspired by their shared interest in pop culture, the trio split off from The Burroughs to write more animated music.

“I feel like both of us express that writing lyrics is difficult; you really get in your own head,” Mary Claxton said.

“I found that writing about characters can be a really pure expression of simple emotions and stories, which I feel is what ultimately connects with people.”

Trash Cat’s songs focus on stories that their generation can relate to, from popular car-

toons like Steven Universe and Adventure Time to books like Harry Potter and well-known shows like Star Trek.

The band’s self-proclaimed “Cartoon Rock” adds a new beat to Fort Collins’ music scene.

The band is determined to find their own niche.

“I found that writing about characters can be a really pure expression of simple emotions and stories, which I feel is what ultimately connects with people.”

MARY CLAXTON BAND MEMBER

“We’d really like to play for our people, which is nerds,” Mary Claxton said. “We’d like to do a Comic-Con tour. I think, for us, it’s about setting the stage appropriately. I can foresee us bucking the traditional touring model and playing in weird spaces and having youth engagement as a part of what we’re doing.”

The band acknowledges their unconventional approach and hopes listeners do not misunderstand their intent.

“I think because what we’re

doing is a little off the beaten path, we were wondering how people were going to react to, like, a song that’s really beautiful but is about Dumbledore,” Mary Claxton said. “I want it to feel authentic. I don’t want the band to seem like a joke, but a lot of the subject matter is funny and lighthearted and nostalgic.”

Not all the band’s work is fiction, though. The track “FullTime Lover” is based on real-life icon David Bowie. In the song, the band pays homage to one of the inspirations for their unique futurepop style.

“Their sound is unusual in the sense that they are made up of electric uke, baritone sax, drums and Mary’s powerful vocals,” said Jess Reed, Music District programs and events manager. “I’ve never seen a band playing with that configuration.

Beyond their unique lineup, they are delightfully geeky and innovative in their songwriting and style. Trash Cat is weird, cool and unexpected. And their music is infectious.”

Trash Cat will be performing songs from their debut album live March 28 at Chipper’s Lanes in Greeley and March 29 at Pinball Jones Campus West.
