ASCSU candidates discuss inclusivity, representation in LSC debate By Charlotte Lang @ChartrickWrites

Inclusivity and representation of students by the Associated Students of Colorado State University Senate were discussed by those running for president, vice president and speaker of the senate in the ASCSU debate Wednesday night. Five campaigns for the ASCSU presidential candidacy, as well as three for speaker of the senate, responded to questions specific to their campaign platforms. Questions regarding current student issues and concerns were also posed to all campaigns. Presidential and vice presidential debate A recurring topic for the five campaigns was their insistence on incorporating student voices into ASCSU and creating an atmosphere of inclusivity throughout campus. Each campaign said that representing the entire student body is an important factor for them. Samuel Braun and Madison Taylor said their campaign will make sure the issues discussed in their platform get done with as much student oversight as possible and that every ram is happy with the jobs they do in office. “What we want to do is create platforms that help all students so

that they know what to look for and so they know they’re able to look for us,” Taylor said, when asked about transparency between ASCSU and the student body. “We can have them hold us accountable.” Dominick Quintana’s and Aly Ammar’s campaign wants to promote a “ramily” feeling between all students through public forums and solving the misrepresentation of students on campus. “Our campaign is about representing every single group of student, every single kind of student that goes to CSU,” Ammar, the vice presidential candidate, said. “We want to hear from you and that’s our entire campaign.” Ben Amundson’s vice presidential candidate, Alexandra Farias, said that they’d like to let students know what their opportunities and resources are. Farias said she’d like to advertise opportunities to students in the name of transparency. “We want to be transparent. We don’t want to be hypocritical. People keep asking for more money and never spend it,” Amundson said. “Our goal is for students to spend less for college this year.” The Joshua Johnson and Joshua Griffin campaign also spoke on representing the whole student body by talking to all students and creating an app for students to directly interact with ASCSU.

from all of CSU’s academic colleges, undeclared students, graduate students and the student diversity offices. According to the position’s description, they serve as a direct line of representation for the student body, running weekly Senate sessions. This year, there are three candidates for speaker of the Senate: • Blake Alfred • Connor Hendrick • Kevin Lorusso Campaigns participated in a debate on the LSC Plaza March 27 and debated for the last time Wednesday in the Lory Student Center Theatre. Last year’s election saw over 21% of the student body vote, with a total of 6,524 students submitting their ballot on RamWeb, marking a roughly 3% increase from the 2017 election. Students can select a presidential candidate, a speaker of the Senate candidate and the next design of the CSU Forever Green T-shirt given to incoming freshmen on RamWeb starting 8 a.m. April 8 until 4 p.m. April 10, when the votes will be tallied. Official results will be published on collegian.com following the announcement and in print April 10.

“(The app) will have a page in there that will be a polling page. We will ask you questions before we even make a decision,” Griffin said about the app. “We believe this country was created to be governed from the bottom up, and CSU should also reflect that.” Flint Corliss and Wyatt Mount said they consider themselves to be a campaign for and from the students, and they are focused on amplifying student voices. Presidential candidate Corliss said they were the first and only campaign to hear student voices on parking and meet with transportation services to discuss issues brought up by students. “We will work with as many offices as we can to get our opinions increased and are ever increasing our outreach,” Corliss said. “We won’t stop until everyone is included.” Speaker of the senate debate The three candidates for the speaker of the senate positions— Kevin Lorusso, Blake Alfred and Connor Hendrick— answered questions regarding transparency and plans to bring greater awareness to ASCSU. Lorusso said that ASCSU is in need of a strong, rational and understanding leader. He said he’ll be able to give ASCSU and the students of CSU the same leadership he gave while serving in the military. He also discussed transparency by referring to the $800,000 rollover budget found in the ASCSU budget recently.

“Transparency to me is saying, ‘Look, we found $800,000 and here’s how we lost it to begin with.’ I would make sure that the books were more open,” Lorusso said. “This is the money of the students.” Lorusso also said he would make sure all organizations are treated equally as far as that money is concerned, and that students receive the proper funding they need for their organizations. Alfred said the primary issue his campaign hopes to resolve is increasing ASCSU Senate marketing as a whole. He said that the Senate does a lot, but many students don’t know about it until after it’s done. “I think transparency means letting the students know what we can do for them, and what we have done in the past,” Alfred said. “I think what we’re failing is letting people know what we can do for them. We’re not marketing it to them.” Hendrick said he would focus on three key areas: transparency, awareness and involvement. “We have a great diverse group of students as our Senate body in ASCSU as a whole but I really want to focus on bringing in new more diverse voices,” Hendrick said, in regards to involvement. “I want to do this by making sure our website is as up to date as possible, and I want to consider bringing out an app to connect students better with ASCSU.” Hendrick said that updating the ASCSU website will allow the Senate to communicate with the student body about bills that have and haven’t passed, as well as openings and opportunities. Voting for ASCSU elections will be online April 8-10. Charlotte Lang can be reached at news@collegian.com.

ASCSU Campaign: Ben Amundson and Alexandra Farias By Austin Fleskes @Austinfleskes07

“Parking over politics” — That’s the motto for Ben Amundson and Alexandra Farias, who are the youngest candidates running for president and vice president of the Associated Students of Colorado State University this election season. “We don’t consider our campaign overtly political,” Amundson said. “We think there are serious issues that students face and we need to address those issues, but we do not believe in taking a left or right approach. We think of taking the students’ stance on every issue.” Ben Amundson, presidential candidate Amundson, a sophomore studying agricultural business, currently serves as the speaker of the Senate and said that his experience as speaker could help him increase inclusion within the executive branch.

“We want to make everyone feel welcome and feel comfortable in the ASCSU office. It is not a closed-off group and we do not want to present it that way.” ALEXANDRA FARIAS VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

Amundson said the reasoning behind their campaign was something that started with an idea. “I think it starts with an idea (of ), ‘I would do something different,’ and it turns into a belief or maybe even a passion of yours,” Amundson said. “We are just trying to turn those beliefs and passions into reality, that is our goal.” Amundson said that one of their passions as a campaign is food insecurity, so much so that Amundson said they donated their campaign money to the Food Bank of Larimer County. Because of this donation, Amundson said the campaign could not afford color printing for their flyers. Alexandra Farias, vice presidential candidate Farias, a sophomore study-

ing finance with a planned certificate in computer information systems, serves as the vice chair on the Student Fee Review Board. Farias said her experience with SFRB has taught her how to handle budgets and has put her down the road to learning more about them. She also serves as the vice president of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority, which she said has taught her about issues such as inclusion. “We want to make everyone feel welcome and feel comfortable in the ASCSU office,” Farias said. “It is not a closedoff group and we do not want to present it that way.” While running on different issues, Farias hopes to enhance inclusivity in ASCSU and across the campus. “I really just want to make sure everyone’s voice is heard and increase student inclusion as much as possible within ASCSU and CSU in general,”

Farias said.

“We think there are serious issues that students face and we need to address those issues, but we do not believe in taking a left or right approach. We think of taking the students’ stance on every issue.” BEN AMUNDSON PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

Their platform The Amundson-Farias platform runs on several campus-related issues, including U+2, the term for the Fort Collins housing ordinance that prevents more than three unrelated people from living in a

single residence. With U+2, Amundson and Farias said they hope to reform the policy to allow more people to live in houses with the appropriate number of rooms. For example, Amundson said, houses with four or five bedrooms should be permitted to house four or five people. One of the bigger issues on their platform is campus parking, especially making parking smoother and easier for those that park on campus, leading to a drop in permit costs. “We think there are a lot of solutions to parking that are sustainable,” Amundson said. “We can teach freshmen to take the bus their freshman year, so by their senior year, they are still taking the bus. This opens up spots and ultimately will lower the prices if you look at the supply and demand of it.” They also hope to reform the Grill the Buffs event from a

“grab-and-go style event” to a much larger spirit event. “We see it as everyone on the west lawn of the (Lory Student Center), live music, every fraternity, every sorority, student orgs, resident halls out there, everyone having a giant pep rally the day before we play the Buffs,” Amundson said. Within ASCSU, Amundson and Farias also have plans to try and improve the inclusivity between the campus and the organization, as well as issues such as marketing of opportunities. Farias said that she wants to make sure everyone on campus knows about the opportunities that are available and how to apply for things and seek out opportunities and resources. “We are ready to serve our students no matter what happens,” Farias said.

ASCSU Campaign: Samuel Braun and Madison Taylor By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

From focusing on campus engagement and running the judicial division of the Associated Students of Colorado State University, Samuel Braun and Madison Taylor hope to be ASCSU’s next president and vice president. “Even though we’re quite opposite, perhaps in method and personality, we mesh together, not clash,” Taylor said. “And that’s not only why we’re running together, but we’re best friends.” Samuel Braun, presidential candidate Braun is a junior double major studying political science and history and the current director of campus engagement for ASCSU. Braun said his position in ASCSU has been a success, citing increased participation in tailgating and City Council’s consideration of reforming the U+2 housing ordinance.

“I decided to run because I really saw things that I want to change, and this administration can’t change everything in one year, it’s just not possible.” SAMUEL BRAUN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

Braun said he is running for ASCSU president because he wants to continue the positive efforts made by the current administration, like promoting diversity and inclusion. “I decided to run because I really saw things that I want to change, and this administration can’t change everything in one year. It’s just not possible,” Braun said. “So I saw what could be done better and what needs to still be done, and I said ‘I’m pretty well-qualified to go in and do this, and I don’t want anyone here who doesn’t want to continue these goals, or doesn’t want to perfect (ASCSU), so I guess I should

run, see what happens, and if I win, I would be able to do that.’” Madison Taylor, vice presidential candidate Taylor, a junior triple major studying economics, political science and journalism and media communications, currently serves as the Chief Justice of ASCSU. Taylor said her background in the judicial branch of ASCSU aides in some of the goals for the Braun-Taylor campaign, such as student conduct and student fee reform. Beyond that, Taylor said she’s running because of her fierce dedication to serving people. “You shouldn’t necessarily be experienced in ASCSU to run for office, but you should have experience following plans through,” Taylor said. “You should have experience working with others and work-

ing towards a common goal and we both have that. … We have good working relations with every office we’d need to actually accomplish our goals.” Their platform The Braun-Taylor platform focuses on reforming U+2 with City Council to either rightsizing or Me+3, student conduct reform to allow a restorative option for first-time non-violent offenses and improving tailgating. The restorative would allow students to not reveal a firsttime offense, like being caught with alcohol in the dorms, in applications to medical school or law school, which normally require disclosure of interactions with conduct reform. Their platform also focuses on tailgating because they want CSU to start “acting like” a D1 school. Braun said he hopes to increase the student turnout

at tailgaiting events from last year’s record of 3,000.

“You shouldn’t necessarily be experienced in ASCSU to run for office, but you should have experience following plans through. You should have experience working with others and working towards a common goal and we both have that.” MADISON TAYLOR VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

“I think it’s important that students come out of the dorms

and come out and do things and meet other people that they might not meet in a setting like that,” Braun said. “The current president, Tristan Syron, had never gone to a tailgate before, and then he became president and found out this was something he could do, and he went to every single one and started enjoying it because he met so many people and it’s a fun environment.” Beyond that, Braun and Taylor want to reform the internal culture of ASCSU to feel more welcoming to every identity and have proposed a student-wide vote on changes in student fees due to hefty increases in fees this past year.

ASCSU Campaign: Flint Corliss and Wyatt Mount By Meagan Stackpool @MeaganStackpool

Associated Students of Colorado State University president and vice-president candidates Flint Corliss and Wyatt Mount have centered their campaign around the notions of self-care and being as available as possible to the student body. “So we decided to run because through following ASCSU, we noticed some things that could be improve(d) through transparency and actually listening to the student’s voices,” Corliss wrote in a statement to The Collegian. “Coming from outside organizations, we would like to use the networks and connections associated with clubs and organizations.” Flint Corliss, presidential candidate Formerly an ASCSU senator for the College of Agricultural Sciences, Flint Corliss is a third-year agricultural business and economics major. During his time as a senator, Corliss said he wrote a resolution and sponsored numerous others.

“I understand the inner workings of how ASCSU runs and the necessity and formality of the organization. I’d say since then, kind of stepping away, I noticed that there’s been a big rise in the desire of wanting constituent input.” FLINT CORLISS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

Having previously served as a senator, Corliss expressed the separation he has seen between ASCSU and their constituents. “I understand the inner workings of how ASCSU runs and the necessity and formality of the organization,” Corliss said. “I’d say since then, kind of stepping away, I noticed that there’s been a big rise in the desire of wanting constituent input.” Corliss said he has been invested in the community and invested in networking and community outreach which has

afforded him a unique opportunity. Wyatt Mount, vice presidential candidate An ASCSU outsider, junior agricultural business and accounting major Wyatt Mount is an avidly involved member of the community. Mount focused on his accounting background as an asset to the student body, also emphasizing his versatility. Mount said working on his family’s ranch has given him experience with large budgets similar to those ASCSU works with. Mount also said that working at the Candlelight Dinner Playhouse has allowed him to connect with people in new ways. “I got to learn a lot of working with people, creating that one-on-one contact with people to make them feel valued and to make them feel welcome,” Mount said.

Their platform First and foremost, Corliss and Mount want students to know that they want to be an advocate for them.

“I got to learn a lot of working with people, creating that one on one contact with people to make them feel valued and to make them feel welcome.” WYATT MOUNT VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

Spending the first few days of their campaign collecting students’ ideas on what they would like to see change at CSU, the candidates emphasized

their “listening first and speaking second” approach. Corliss and Mount want to take existing programs and build them up further. The major focus of their platform is a three-pronged self-care plan: food, housing and mental health. Mount said food insecurity should not be a stressor for students, explaining that the candidates want to work with Rams Against Hunger to grow the scope of students they reach. Last fall, after the largest freshman class ever, approximately 100 freshmen had to live in overflow housing after the dorms hit capacity. Mount said in response, they want to work with CSU to rework the Live On campaign to include freshmen. Concerning mental health, Mount said that they want to work with the Health Network Counseling Services to grow

what is already there, as well as to work to diminish the stigma surrounding mental health. “We also want to work to get rid of that negative stigma so people aren’t just seen as weak for having mental health and instead of seeing are seen as strong for being willing to go get help,” Mount said. “So we’re kind of stretching out our hand to help those people.” Corliss said through student input, they added parking to their platform and had reached out to Parking and Transportation Services to set up a meeting with their director and deputy director. “We want to take those responses that we got and amplify them in places that matter in places of importance where we can actually get things changed,” Corliss said.

ASCSU Campaign: Josh Johnson and Joshua Griffin By Lauren Studley @laurastudley

Editor’s note: Josh Johnson is a member of Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation’s Board of Directors. RMSMC is the parent company of The Collegian, but the Board of Directors does not oversee content of The Collegian or make editorial decisions of The Collegian. With an excess of experience under their belt from serving in the military prior to attending Colorado State University, Josh Johnson and Joshua Griffin, campaigning as J24U, are committed to making the student body’s voice heard. “We are bringing a leadership into the university level ... where we can provide clear guidance for the student fees and bring in a new level of interaction with the student body through transparent government,” Johnson said. Josh Johnson, presidential candidate Johnson is a junior psychology major and Air Force veteran. Currently a senator for the Adult Learner and Veteran Services office within the Associated Students of Colorado State University, Johnson is also a president of the Student Veterans Organization and a board director for Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation.

“We are bringing a leadership into the university level ... where we can provide clear guidance for the student fees and bring in a new level of interaction with the student body through transparent government.” JOSH JOHNSON PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

Johnson believes he is prepared for his potential presidency, explaining that his time in the Air Force and ASCSU Senate has helped him learn the necessary skills to lead. “This experience of me encouraging (students) with resources around the University and being their trusted source of information and helping them through things is the same area where we can bring the same leadership that (Griffin) served with the cadets and I bring with the adult learners community, but now on a bigger scale within ASCSU,” Johnson said.

Joshua Griffin, vice presidential candidate Griffin spent 12 years with the Army’s special operations units and plays safety for CSU football as number 24. He is also a senior cadet at the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. Controlling money is one of the responsibilities of a vice president, according to Griffin. In his last position, Griffin said he managed $225 million with zero loss of accountability. On a fiscal and interpersonal level, Griffin believes his campaign’s knowledge and experience brings a new perspective to ASCSU’s executive branch. “I think our experiences will actually translate well into ASCSU,” Griffin said. “I can speak for both of us; we have spent a great deal of our lives serving our country, so we want to do that here again at CSU.” Their platform J24U places unity, sustainability and transparency at the forefront of their campaign, addressing

issues of campus connectedness, increasing composting and the reduction of paper, and finally acting on what the student body wants through a more direct line of communication.

“I think our experiences will actually translate well into ASCSU… we have spent a great deal of our lives serving our country, so we want to do that here again at CSU.” JOSH GRIFFIN VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

Unity is the first measure J24U wants to tackle. Griffin said there is division among the student body, noting that there are two sides and

neither work together because no one wants to have an open dialogue. “Give (students) a new tradition to CSU that everybody can rally around together as Rams united, with campus connectedness as the focal point,” Johnson said. “(And) to carry that out, a spirit week that gets everyone excited.” Hoping to introduce more composting bins and a reduction of paper use on campus, J24U is looking to contribute to a larger sustainability effort on campus. “We know that CSU values their sustainability mission,” Johnson said. “With that, there are more things we can do. Because right now, CSU is number four in the nation for sustainability according to Princeton Review, but we can be number one.” While Johnson said the University is ranked fourth by the Princeton Review for sustainability, the Princeton Review actually ranks CSU as sixth place. Griffin has worked closely with

another student to develop an app (presently only available for Apple products) that allows students to interact with student government. “There will be a direct link for the ASCSU to where we have legislation and other things on a docket,” Griffin said. “We’ll have polls so if I can say, ‘Hey! We have $200,000 to do X, Y, Z, what would you prefer?’ Then, we will set a poll and then the students will tell us what they want.” Both desire to create a new vision for transparency within student government where students have a say in the legislature before Senate votes on bills rather than having funds allocated to policies the student body has no knowledge of. “Vote for you,” Johnson said, “because we’re here for service.” Laura Studley can be reached at news@collegian.com.

ASCSU Campaign: Dominick Quintana and Aly Ammar By Corbin Reiter @CorbinReiter

The representation of all students on campus is the main priority of Dominick Quintana and his running mate, Aly Ammar, as they vie for the offices of president and vice president of the Associated Students of Colorado State University. Dominick Quintana, presidential candidate Quintana, an undeclared junior pursuing a business interest, sat on the 47th Senate as a senator for the Intra-University in the 2017-18 academic year. He was not a part of ASCSU this semester because he wanted to get more involved with CSU’s community. As of now, he serves as a resident assistant for University Housing, site leader for CSU’s Alternative Spring Break program and the president of Lambda Sigma Upsilon Latino Fraternity, which he brought to campus last semester.

“Hopefully we can get people to realize that there is this issue around campus and maybe, just maybe, if other candidates win they will realize that what we were running for is also an important issue,” ALY AMMAR VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

Quintana said he decided to run due to his passion for fighting for student voices. He said he believes strongly in advocating for students all across campus. “I believe that it starts with two students that want to get involved and want to make that change,” Quintana said. “Aly (Ammar) and I would love to see how we can implement new policies to get the student government more involved with this representation problem on our campus.” Quintana said he wants students to know the positive impact that student government can have on campus.

sentative of the Office of International Programs. He works with the deputy director for international affairs to create better representation for his constituents. Ammar focuses on the representation of minority students present at CSU, which was inspired by his time working with international offices. “I have noticed that, especially within international programs, there are a lot of people that are not at all represented in ASCSU right now,” Ammar said. “That is the big issue for our administration, we want to make sure that every single person of every race, ethnicity and religion gets represented in student government and I feel like I am running for that reason and I want to make sure that happens.” Ammar said that another focus of their campaign is that they hope to create a conversa-

tion around the issues that they are running around regardless of whether they win or not.

“I believe that it starts with two students that want to get involved and want to make that change. Aly (Ammar) and I would love to see how we can implement new policies to get the student government more involved with this representation problem on our campus.” DOMINICK QUINTANA PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

“Hopefully we can get people to realize that there is this

issue around campus and maybe, just maybe, if other candidates win they will realize that what we were running for is also an important issue,” Ammar said. Their platform Quintana-Ammar’s campaign profile focuses on three main issues: The interaction between the student body and ASCSU, a reformation of school policies regarding stress levels around finals week and continuing the efforts of the current administration to modify the U+2 initiative. “Especially with the new president coming in, we feel like it is important to get more people involved in how the campus and its policies are reformed,” Ammar said. “It is also a way for students to hold us as the leadership accountable for our promises and ensure that the campus leadership follows through on serving the stu-

dents.” The Quintana-Ammar campaign said they prioritize the representation of minorities in student government. A highlight of their campaign is that if a student is attending CSU, they deserve to be heard. “I feel that under the whole underrepresentation of students on campus, one of the big things that I like to highlight is that there are a lot of students that are paying their student fees and they are not getting represented in student government and in environments where decisions are getting made,” Ammar said. “When this happens, I like to call it the campus version of taxation without representation. They are paying their student fee, they need to be a part of the conversation of how it gets spent.” Corbin Reiter can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Speaker of the Senate candidates plan to open communication By Ceci Taylor @cecelia_twt

The Associated Students of Colorado State University’s Speaker of the Senate is the leader of the legislative branch, which represents the student base and votes to fund various legislation using student fee money, according to ASCSU’s website. This year, three candidates are hoping to fill the position for the upcoming 2019-20 school year. Blake Alfred After spending some time on the Senate, Blake Alfred, a junior journalism and media communication major, moved to director of marketing for ASCSU. The Department of Marketing makes sure that ASCSU can communicate to students about resources and events, according to ASCSU. Alfred said he believes his experience with marketing has prepared him to take on this new role. “I’ve learned what students want and what students like,” Alfred said. “I think that experience has taught me that students really want to hear from ASCSU, what we’re doing to make students lives better.” Alfred said he plans to further ASCSU’s marketing to make it more accessible and available to students. “I want to let students know what bills are coming on the floor and what’s happening; we could do that through marketing,” Alfred said. “A lot of times students come in and they don’t know what’s happening until it’s already been voted on a week later.” He said he can promote that in the Senate and get more bills with student input. Alfred said that setting up a better website, working more with The Collegian and utilizing the ASCSU Instagram page are all options to better promote what’s happening with ASCSU. Alfred said that since a lot of ASCSU members have been a part of the organization for so long, an outsider’s perspective is important to make a change. “There are a few cliques within ASCSU and I think it’s important for somebody who is involved in a lot of student organizations on campus to come in and shake things up,” Alfred said. Alfred said that his experience working with other organizations on campus has further

prepared him for the role. “I’m involved in a lot of student organizations on campus,” Alfred said. “I’ve let people know I’m running for this position and they’re super excited for me to run instead of somebody who’s part of the establishment, part of the clique within is ASCSU.” Alfred said that one of his main reasons for deciding to run was to offer students another option, since Hendrick was running unopposed before Alfred decided to campaign. “I just didn’t think it was fair for one person to be running because I didn’t think that represented the student body well,” Hendrick said, “I thought it was important for the students to know that more than one person is running. It brings the job to a higher pedigree.” Conner Hendrick Conner Hendrick, a sophomore political science major, currently serves as the Speaker Pro Tempore for ASCSU, which he said is the person who works directly below the Speaker of the Senate to chair and manage sessions when the Speaker is unavailable. Hendrick said he wanted his campaign to focus on the connections between ASCSU and the student body, as well as bringing diverse voices into the organization. He said that his three goals, if he were to win, would be transparency, awareness and involvement. “Our worst problem is the image that ASCSU has,” Hendrick said. “Either lots of people on campus have no idea what we are, that we even exist, or they do know us and a large percentage of those people think that we’re elitist or unfriendly. I really want to change that image. I want to make us appear as what we truly are: a welcoming organization that prides ourselves in our diversity, involvement and ability to create change.” Hendrick said that his main focus will be crafting that welcoming and diverse image of ASCSU. Hendrick said that improving the ASCSU website would be a top priority for him to achieve this goal of transparency and diversity. “I really want to focus on making our website as good as possible, keeping it as updated as possible. Bills, open positions and making it as clean and user-friendly as possible,” Hendrick said.

Hendrick said that running for Speaker of the Senate was important to him because of his experience as Speaker Pro Tempore and because of his dedication to the organization. “I decided to run because I truly love the organization and I believe my purpose in life is public service,” Hendrick said. Hendrick also said that since CSU has been such a welcoming community and has really helped him on his path in life, he wants to give back in any way that he can. Hendrick said this role is important to him because it’s something that he really wants to be involved in. “It’s my community,” he said. After having spent most of his college career involved with ASCSU, Hendrick said he is ready to take on a higher role. “I feel like I’m personally the best candidate for this,” Hendrick said. “I’ve been preparing for well over a semester, I’ve honestly been preparing for a year and a half now. I have the capability to be Speaker because I truly care about ASCSU.” Kevin Lorusso Kevin Lorusso, an undeclared junior with an interest in Organization, Management and Enterprise, said he is running in order to bring strong leadership to the ASCSU Senate.

Lorusso said he brings years of experience maintaining composure throughout incredibly intensive environments during his time in the military, explaining he first came to love Colorado while stationed at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs. “I was not born or raised in Colorado but I can promise you I love it all the same,” Lorusso said during his opening statements of the LSC Debate Wednesday night. “I love Colorado for its scenery, its seasons and most importantly for its people—especially you guys who chose to go to CSU over CU.” Lorusso’s said that he believes the Senate needs strong leadership in order to ensure that they more accurately and efficiently use their time to listen to ideas that can directly improve the student’s lives. “I believe that the ASCSU is currently in need of a strong, rational understanding new leader,” Lorusso said. “I promise to give ASCSU and the students of Colorado State the same leadership I work to provide day in and day out to my soldiers in the military. That’s a promise I can make, and that’s a promise I will keep.” He emphasized attainability of ideas being a major goal for him in the Senate, were he to be elected, as he said he feels a lot

of things discussed in the Senate fall outside of ASCSU’s jurisdiction. “When the Senate wastes time trying to grandstand and pass resolutions it has no business involving itself in, it’s wasting time that could be better spent providing students with programs from organizations that improve their learning experience and improve this University as a whole,” Lorusso said. On the issue of transparency, Lorusso noted the discovery that ASCSU has found a rollover budget of $800,000, sharing that although he came to CSU on the GI bill, this doesn’t mean he can’t be upset for students. “I believe that these elections are incredibly important right now. Especially with this current climate where we have apparent fraud, waste and abuse going on within ASCSU Senate chambers,” Lorusso said. “To me, transparency means going through the books, making sure all the money is accounted for, making sure all the organizations are being treated equally as far as that money goes, making sure the students know what is happening within the chamber.” Ceci Taylor can be reached at news@collegian.com.

National Public Health Week underscores why smoking ban is good Madison Thompson @heyymadison

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by The Collegian or its editorial board. It’s National Public Health Week, so take the time to recognize public health around you. It’s given you vaccines, fluoride water, seatbelts, dietary guidelines — the list goes on. Smoke free zones are another example of public health because they prevent exposure to second-hand smoke and somewhat discourages cigarette smoking. One issue in particular that’s been in the spotlight recently is the use of vaping products, such as JUULs among the younger generations. In January, former Gov. John Hickenlooper signed an executive order which banned tobacco products on all state property, including Colorado

State University’s campus. The Associated Students of CSU’s Senate passed a resolution to formally reject the order on the grounds that it’s discriminatory against students, staff and faculty with nicotine addictions. This may be true, but the potential for others to become addicted as smoking is normalized is not a risk worth taking to benefit a smaller group of people. Cigarette and vape smoke is a nuisance to those who don’t smoke. There are countless studies proving the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. If people want to smoke on campus, they’re going to. Banning it will just make them sneakier, which is a positive because then non-smokers won’t be exposed as often. Vaping among young people is an epidemic in Colorado. A recent survey found that more than a quarter of teens say they currently use an electronic vapor product, making Colorado number one out of 37 states surveyed. That’s double the national average. Some of the state’s public health leaders saw public policy

as the clear driver of teen vaping trends. Colorado was an early test market for vaping products, according to R.J. Ours, Colorado government relations director with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. The product had more time to permeate the demographic than other states.

“If people want to smoke on campus, they’re going to. Banning it will just make them sneakier, which is a positive because then non-smokers won’t be exposed as often.” “Nicotine is known to be highly addictive and negatively affects the developing brain of youth and young adults more than older adults,” wrote Schur, referencing the 2016 CDC and Surgeon General’s Report E-Cigarette Use Among Youth. “Use can prime the brain for use

of other addictive substances, reduced impulse control, mood disorders and deficits in attention and cognition.” We practically eradicated smoking in one generation, so the prevalence of teen vaping is discouraging. The main concern of public health professionals is that vaping will take us ten steps back into the 1970s when 45 percent of people were smokers. Tobacco is also relatively cheap in Colorado. A pack of four JUUL pods costs about $16. It’s the nicotine equivalent of four packs of traditional cigarettes that would cost about $24. The regional director with the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, Jodi Radke, points out that teens “respond most heavily to taxation and price increases on tobacco.” If we want to make a difference in the prevalence of teen vaping, we need legislation that makes it less accessible to begin with, not punish those who are addicted. The Center for Disease Control reports that a JUUL pod, which is a popular vaping device among young people, can con-

tain 20 times the nicotine as a regular cigarette. Colorado also has the highest rate of teen vaping in the nation. But I think that’s the point. The less conducive your environment becomes to your behavior, the less likely you are to partake in those behaviors due to the increased factor of risk. Instead of viewing it as a discriminatory policy against those with nicotine addiction, it’s better understood as a burden on those who don’t smoke and don’t wish to start. Perhaps CSU could find an alternative way to help students quit smoking, like promoting the Tobacco Cessation Program offered at the Health Center. The passing of the resolution will encourage CSU to refrain from enacting policies in support of the order. Clauses that would establish smoking zones on campus were not included in the final resolution, but should be considered in the coming months.

ASCSU dogs leave campaigns to run independently By Katrina Leibee @KatrinaLeibee

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. With The Associated Students of Colorado State University presidential and vice presidential elections on the horizon, the presence of cute dogs on the Plaza has gone up drastically. Candidates believe that puppies make them appear friendlier, but the dogs may not be entirely on board with the campaigns. ASCSU dogs announced their boycott against campaigns this past Monday. The dogs officially asked to no longer be associated with the candidates. In an exclusive interview with The Collegian, Samuel Braun and Madison Taylor’s most well-known campaign dog Hercules barked, “I am honestly tired of being used as a campaign tool. They are not even providing the treats they promised me.” Braun and Taylor’s dogs alongside Ben Amundson and Alexandra Faria’s dogs came together in a meeting Sunday night to discuss their separation from the campaigns as

well as to discuss possibly running independently. Hercules mentioned in the meeting that he was “uncomfortable being associated with Samuel Braun, a member of the Student Fees Review Board, when the use of student fees are currently question-

able and unclear.” Amundson and Farias’ campaign dogs Gizzmo and Bodhi said the conversation with Amundson regarding their official leave from the campaign was difficult, but they knew it was the right decision for them. “Gizzmo and I have nothing but respect for Ben and Alex,” Bodhi said. “But we feel it is in Colorado State University’s best interest for us to run independently.” Gizzmo and Bodhi will now be running for president and

vice president of ASCSU on the platforms of allowing anybody and everybody to chase campus squirrels, using student fees to provide unlimited access to treats and providing free parking to students in exchange for pets. Bodhi borked that they want to “honor the intentions of Ben and Alex.” As part of his efforts towards inclusion at ASCSU, Amundson said that he wants to show kindness and friendship, something ASCSU is not currently known for. Gizzmo revealed that this was what made him originally want to join Amundson and Farias’ campaign, but he now believes that dogs are the friendliest and kindest beings that could be elected to the position. Hercules discussed possibly acting as a campaign manager for Gizzmo and Bodhi. “We want students to vote on the merit of the candidates, not just on who has the most dogs,” Hercules said. “We felt uncomfortable being blatantly used as advertising tactics.” There was even talk of making their own governing body, The Associated Dogs of Colorado State University, but Hercules said that they will all wait for the election results.

SOFTBALL

CSU softball heads to San Jose for Mountain West battle By Junior Guerrero @juniorg45

It’s no secret that the Colorado State University softball team is on a roll. The Rams have gone more than a month without losing a single game. Their current 18-game win streak is remarkable, and they’re just getting started. The team still has more than half of their conference schedule left to play. On April 5 the Rams will play their first game of a three game series against conference foe San Jose State. The Spartans are currently right on the Ram’s tail in the Mountain West standings, holding the second-place spot with a record of 25-10 (5-1). The Spartans are a solid team that have been successful as of late. They’ve won an impressive 15 games of their last 16 match ups. The Rams are in for a great test. “San Jose is tough, but we have to play them like they’re just another opponent,” senior pitcher Bridgette Hutton said. “Coach always says to respect everybody, but fear nobody… That’s what we’ve been doing all year long.” The Rams are having an historic season. Their 27-4 season is their best record since 1989. Their 9-0 conference record is the best that the Mountain West has seen in nearly 20 years. The 18-game win streak

is currently second only to No. 2 Oklahoma who are riding a 22-game win streak. Colorado State leads the nation in doubles with an average of 2.39 per game, 74 on the season so far. The Rams have put on a scoring clinic so far this season averaging 7.5 runs per game. During their 16 of their last 18 games they scored eight or more runs. They are also very fond of the long ball. The Rams have hit a whopping 45 home runs this season, which plays a huge role in their 10 total runrule wins this season.

“San Jose is tough, but we have to play them like they’re just another opponent. Coach always says to respect everybody, but fear nobody… That’s what we’ve been doing all year long.” BRIDGETTE HUTTON SENIOR PITCHER

The Rams are now ranked in the top 25 in the Softball America rankings for the third week in a row. This week they have moved up a spot, to No. 23 in the nation. They are also receiving votes in other polls such

as USA Today/NFCA Coaches and ESPN.com polls. One of the main reasons why this team has been successful is that everyone plays a part in helping the team win. Every batter with 70 plus atbats is hitting over .250 and has at least one home run. The full team effort is a recipe for success. The Rams understand that

every team they face is going to be a challenge and San Jose is no different. As long as the Rams play their game, they should be able to keep their streak alive. “We have to prepare as best we can,” Head Coach Jen Fisher said. “We have to come with a lot of confidence, and a lot of fight.” The weekend will be make-

or-break for this Rams team and is sure to make for some interesting softball. The series begins April 5 at 7 p.m. with Saturday and Sunday matinees at 1 p.m. Saturday’s game will be broadcast on the Mountain West network. Junior Guerrero can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

COLORADO AVALANCHE

5 Takeaways: Avs take care of business, blow out Oilers 6-2 By Evan Rawal Mile High Sports

For the second straight game, the Avalanche came out flat in the first period. This time, it didn’t really matter. A four-goal burst in a span of seven minutes in the second period propelled the Avs to a 6-2 victory over the already eliminated Edmonton Oilers. Colorado struggled to do anything in the opening period, much like they did the previous game against the Blues, as they fell behind by two goals heading into the first intermission. Once the Avs got going, though, there was nothing the Oilers could do to stop them. They received goals from five different players, with Nathan MacKinnon creating the spark with a highlight reel goal early in the second period to get things going. They never looked back, scoring six unanswered and coasting to a huge victory. The Avs now get a day off and wait for the Winnipeg Jets to come to town on Thursday evening, with a 7 p.m. puck drop. What did we learn from this win? The Avs gave Philipp Grubauer a much deserved rest,

starting Semyon Varlamov for the first time since March 15. The pending unrestricted free agent may have been starting his last game in an Avs uniform, as no one knows if he will be back. The second goal of the game by the Oilers was one Varly would want back, but he was solid the rest of the game, and that’s all the Avs needed. Grubauer will no doubt be back in

■ The Avalanche only need one

more point to clinch a playoff spot for the second year in a row

net on Thursday night. A small change in the defensive pairs yielded massive results. Nikita Zadorov was moved back with Tyson Barrie, and the pair was easily the most effective pair for Colorado. Much like they did at the end of last season, they were matched up with MacKinnon’s line up front, and the five-man unit caused nothing but problems

for the Oilers. It’ll be interesting to see if the Avs keep this pairing the final two games, as it worked in this one. Speaking of Barrie, he was an unheard of +5, and if you include the MacKinnon goal, he was on the ice for all six of the Avs goals. He chipped in with another goal and an assist, and now has a career high 58 points on the year. MacKinnon broke through with his 40th goal of the year, and it was one you’ll see on the highlight reels. He burst between three Oilers defenders to spring himself for a breakaway before launching the puck over Mikko Koskinen’s glove hand. This is the first time MacKinnon has scored 40 goals in a season, and he’s now three points away from cracking the 100-point barrier. With Mikko Rantanen still out due to injury, Alexander Kerfoot has stepped up and filled in admirably on MacKinnon’s wing. While he’s not the caliber of player that Rantanen is, he’s smart and knows how to create offense. With two goals tonight, he’s now one point away from matching his total from his rookie season.

Close to Campus A move to Ram’s Village is a move in the right direction: closer to campus. Waking up late is inevitable as a college student, but wouldn’t it be nice to sleep through an alarm only to realize that you are a short ten minutes away from campus? No class is too far when you are living at Ram’s Village. If you decide to hop on the bus at one of the seven stops on our property, you are no more than eight minutes away from the LSC – right in the center of campus. Or, if you decide to bike, you will arrive in even less time. If you live on our west side, simply bike down Elizabeth and it is a straight shot to the Morgan Library. Do you live on the east side? Bike down Plum, cross Shields, and you’re already to the Moby Arena. Are you walking to campus to meet some friends for lunch? Leave ﬁfteen minutes before and you will beat any of your friends living elsewhere. Signing a lease at Ram’s Village is like a present from you to you. Wake up later, get on a later bus, bike a shorter length – the possibilities are endless. sponsored content

Eilish shines on ‘WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?’ By Henry Netherland @NetherlandHenry

It’s finally here. Billie Eilish’s debut album, “WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?” has finally been released. The anticipation for the release of this record has been a roller coaster. Going from being universally accepted into multiple pockets of the music industry to facing accusations of being an industry plant, Eilish easily dropped one of the most hyped albums of 2019. Previously, I’ve been pretty lukewarm on Eilish’s singles. I saw her as having a lot of artistic potential as well as personality in public appearances, but I felt her voice lacked dynamic and her instrumentals were boring. On the internet, I saw someone refer to her as being “post-Lorde,” a term I felt was more than applicable at the time. In her defense, one thing I could say about her was that

she definitely came off as way more down to earth and artistically legitimate than Halsey, whose continuous descent into blandness never ceases to amaze me. There’s almost an ASMR quality to her overall sound. Her soft, often breathy voice sounds like it’s whispering right into your ear creating this very personal and intimate feeling. The sharp and clacky beats aid in this effect. Sober listening The introduction “!!!!!!!” is a simple opener with Eilish saying, “I have taken out my Invisalign and this is the album” while laughing. As silly as this opener is, it acts as the perfect testament to her goofball personality. For a debut album, it says a lot about how she wants to have fun with the creation of her art. The single, “wish you were gay” is what really changed my mind about Eilish. This is where I found myself genuinely interested in the direction she was heading in. According to Eilish in an Instagram story, the message is essentially wishing a boy “was gay so that he didn’t like (her) for an actual reason, instead of the fact that he didn’t like (her).” This is a unique perspective not

really seen in pop albums and only one that could be seen in the 21st century. The pounding piano keys with the contemporary electronic production blend surprisingly well together. She also incorporates sound effects that add a surreal, performance element to the experience. I first saw the single, “bury a friend” as a rehash of Kanye West’s “Black Skinhead,” but within the context of the record, I can compliment it for continuing the uniquely eerie vibe the first half of the album contains. Eilish’s childlike voice in combination with a pitch-shifted effect is actually a perfect fit for “8.” I usually feel her ukulele centered songs tend to be her most generic, but even while the chords aren’t mindblowing, the production is incredibly forward-thinking and the melody is sweet. One smoke session later … “xanny” is one of the quietest songs on the album, but the droney bass adds a lot to her harmonized melodic singing. It creates this distortion effect that makes the tone off putting, in a good way. “you should see me in a crown” is another “banger” based on Eilish standards. The

beat is very meaty and somewhat compensates for her apathetic delivery. The single, “when the party’s over” continues to be just as boring as I remembered at the time of its release. This is disappointing considering how visually interesting the music video for it is. I can enjoy minimalist aspects in certain contexts, but here there’s almost nothing to digest. I’m in love with the plunky keys on “ilomilo.” They’re playful yet melancholic. “listen before i go” is a very slow, but beautiful piano ballad. Here she manages to carve out some of the most heartbreaking melodies on the album. The usage of sound effects like thunderstorms and children playing is very effective in emphasizing the depressing tone of the song. “goodbye” wraps the album up by being the slowest song on it. The structure has a line from each song on the album in reverse order. It works surprisingly well as each melody transitions perfectly into one another. Overall, “WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?” is a massive success for Eilish both commercially and artistically. With each ad-

ditional listen, I found myself more and more entranced with the structure and delivery of the album. Even though it has its misses, it’s at least managed to carve out a niche sound for her. Now she can finally be seen as her own artist rather than simply an offshoot of her contemporaries like Lorde or Halsey. Hopefully, she’ll show more vocal versatility in future projects. I also hope her brother, Finneas O’Connell will be given more credit than he is receiving since so much of the enjoyability of the record is based on his contributions.

MORE INFORMATION ■ Overall:

8/10 ■ Favorite songs: “listen before i go,” “wish you were gay,” “8,” “ilomilo,” “bad guy,” “goodbye,” “bury a friend,” “xanny,” “you should see me in a crown” and “i love you” ■ Least favorite song: ”when the party’s over”

PRISM brings Broadway to CSU with ‘Drag! The Musical!’ By Lyra Wiley @lyra_wiley

Described as one of the largest university drag shows in Colorado, the Colorado State University Drag Show is putting on their annual showing Sunday in the Grand Ballroom of the Lory Student Center at 6 p.m. “Drag! The Musical!” will feature performances including, but not limited to, Trey Suits, Jessica L’Whor, Evelyn Evermoore and Felony Misdemeanor. The event will also host a special guest, Shea Couleé from RuPaul’s Drag Race season 9.

“While predominately a homosexual art form, we encourage all students to strap on some heels and lip sync to their favorite Lady Gaga song no matter their sexuality.” LOLA GAG HEAD DIRECTOR AND PRODUCER OF PRISM

PRISM, the organization in charge of the event, is LGBTQ inclusive and focuses on bringing students of all walks of sexuality together in an effort to educate and connect students on campus.

“We put on the drag show every semester in hopes to give our students the opportunity to express themselves through the art of drag,” said Lola Gag, head director and producer of PRISM. “While predominately a homosexual art form, we encourage all students to strap on some heels and lip sync to their favorite Lady Gaga song no matter their sexuality.” The show is free to attend and open to all ages, but tips received will support the Pride Resource Center, which is located in Room 232 in the LSC. Gag says that showgoers are encouraged to bring dollar bills to tip the performers during the numbers. The doors open at 5 p.m., but since seats go fast, it is encouraged to get there as soon as possible, as people begin lining up as early as 1 p.m. “Students can expect a show-stopping and brilliant show, filled to the brim with amazing talent, emotional performances and incredible dancing,” Gag said. “We expect that this show will be one of the best that we have put on yet.” The event is sponsored by Residene Hall Association, Associated Students of CSU, Event Planning Services, RamEvents and the Pride Resource Center to provide drag shows such as this one. PRISM meets Thursdays at 6:15 p.m. in room 386 in the LSC. Lyra Wiley can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.
