‘Drag! The Musical!’ mixes drag, Broadway, self-expression By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

The largest university drag show in northern Colorado for over 10 years returned this Sunday with a packed ballroom. This semester’s show was titled “Drag! The Musical!” and hosted by PRISM, a student organization that aims to support and raise awareness of LGBTQ issues. The show had 26 performances, including some from

Colorado State University students, from co-hosts Jessica L’Whor and Evelyn Evermoore and from Shea Couleé from season nine of Ru Paul’s Drag Race. “It helps to have a themed show each semester and it also really helps to have performers who don’t necessarily give a performance that aligns with the theme,” said Alex Salazar, a senior human development and family studies major who performed in the drag show as Queenie. “It allows for a variety

of different performances and, ultimately, it creates a bigger fanbase.” Some of the CSU students that participated in the show included A Blast from your Angsty Past performing to Panic! at the Disco’s “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” Trina Tucket with Wicked’s “Defying Gravity” and Frankie Venus performing a tribute to Freddy Mercury. Lola Gag, the head director and producer of the show, used her performance to come out as bisexual.

Throughout the 26 performances, co-hosts L’Whor and Evermoore showed off multiple outfits, encouraged people to vote in local elections and did a Q&A with the audience, discussing topics like being economical with makeup, outreach and relationship advice. One topic discussed in the Q&A was about the idea of identifying as queer, especially with the term “queer” historically being used as a slur against the LGBTQ community.

“I identify as queer, and identifying as queer really helped me find a place in the community,” Evermoore said. “It was a struggle for me (coming out) because of a lot of invisibility that people feel, and with my gender presentation, queer was just a term that could let me be who I was and not really put too many questions to it. So queer makes me feel better.”

University spends millions of dollars annually on library databases By Ceci Taylor @cecelia_twt

Every year, Colorado State University spends a significant amount of money to provide students and faculty with access to research databases on the Morgan Library website. “Last year the library spent just over $1 million dollars,” Allison Level, coordinator of collections at the Morgan Library, said. “Which is a lot of money but there are a lot of databases over all the subjects and the research areas for campus.” Meg Brown-Sica, assistant dean of scholarly communications, said that the $1 million CSU spends doesn’t include other journals that might be online or electronic books. In total, the library spends up to nine million dollars on everything they provide, Brown-Sica said. “They’re important to have available for students and professors in order to do research because they include collections of peer-reviewed journals, trade publications, industry standards, data sets, and other academic publications that contain research and information so people can do research for classes,” Brown-Sica said. Level said that it’s also important because they provide

authoritative information for students and faculty researchers. For example, some databases for primary sources contain resources and items such as letters or diaries that are helpful for history students and professors, Level said.

“It’s important to have the materials that are current and are easy to use, and the databases have features that Google doesn’t have.” MEG BROWN-SICA ASSISTANT DEAN OF SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATIONS

Brown-Sica said that the databases get updated regularly, and are up-to-date for whenever a student or faculty member needs to use them. “It’s important to have the materials that are current and are easy to use, and the databases have features that Google doesn’t have,” Brown-Sica said. Brown-Sica added that databases are usually run by publishers or professional organizations, and individual publishers are responsible for updates. The library is connected to their da-

tabases, and they are paid money in exchange for their updates and services. “Some databases are news databases, so those are updated every day,” Level said. “Other databases are updated weekly, some monthly.” Brown-Sica said the library’s search engine, Primo, recorded over three million searches last year. She said that it’s not possible to know exactly who is making the searches, or which databases are mainly being used, but a good number of people are using the databases on campus. Brown-Sica said they are always looking for ways to inform students about the databases that they have, since so much money is spent on them. “We do go into the CO 150 classes, but not everyone takes that,” Brown-Sica said. “We also do instruction in other courses as requested by professors. We have a lot of information on our website, but we’re always trying to find new ways to publicize what we have because we do spend a lot of money on it and we want people to use it.” Level suggested that students look to the Morgan Library website for specific help on research. “In the library guides there’s a section for databases,” Level said. “Students can go in to find

information that the librarian has put together based on what their major is or what their course is, and that’s really nice.” Level also said that students can get help with research from the help desk in the library; they can suggest databases and give research tips to students. She also said that there’s a chat service called “Ask us” on the library website. Megan Valliere, a political science major at CSU, said that she learned about the library databases from her first-year honors recitation class, and she’s used them often since. “I have a research paper every couple of weeks,” Valliere said. “Sometimes it can be frus-

trating because they don’t have exactly what I need, but most of the time they do.” Brown-Sica said that librarians are always willing to help students or professors out for any database related questions. “We’re always welcome to talk to groups of people, classes, professors, student groups about what we have,” Brown-Sica said. “We’re more than happy to help if people contact us for reference appointments. If people are working on a paper or project they can make an appointment with a librarian who is a specialist in that area, we’re more than happy to help.” Ceci Taylor can be reached at news@collegian.com.

University celebrates 10 years of solar energy By Kendall Constable @kendall_consta

This year, Colorado State University celebrates 10 years of solar energy. The University hosted an event at which CSU Energy Engineer Carol Dollard spoke about the history of the University’s use of solar energy. According to a handout given at the event, the University is committed to reducing carbon emissions through sustainable practices. In June 2009, the University installed their first system of solar panels on campus on the roof of the Engineering building. This specific system is visible from the Plaza on campus. “When I walk past the engineering building, I see the solar panels on top and I feel proud,” said fourth year environmental engineering major Mariah Wang. Following this, in December 2009, through collaboration with many partners, Christman Field was built, according to the same handout. Christman Field covers 30-acres with more than 23,000 solar panels. This system reduces greenhouse gas emissions by more than 6 million kilograms per year. It creates enough energy, 8.5 million kilowatt hours annually, to power one-third of Foothills Campus with clean energy.

The City of Fort Collins signed the same agreement, and Dollard said that she is excited that the whole community is headed towards 100% re-

newable electricity. Dollard said, for the future of solar energy on campus, “greening the grid” is a huge checkmark on the list of things that need to be done. “Electricity is half of the University’s carbon footprint. It is the single largest factor in our carbon footprint,” Dollard said. “We all need to make these changes relatively quickly.” For the future, CSU hopes to meet their 2030 goal. Dollard said they are exploring additional solar-panel systems as well as off-site wind power. Kendall Constable can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Wealthy parents cut deals or fight on in college admissions scandal By Matthew Ormseth Los Angeles Times

In a busy week in the college admissions scandal, some accused parents have decided to cooperate with prosecutors. One couple who balked, however, were indicted with an added charge of money laundering, indicating that the government is ready to wield more charges as leverage. The question is how many will continue to fight — and whether those who cooperate are providing information that authorities could use to build more cases. Some legal experts have said it makes sense to cut deals, giving the evidence prosecutors have amassed. They have laid out hundreds of pages of wiretapped phone conversations, emails, and bank and tax records in depicting a scheme that rigged college entrance exams and corrupted the athletic recruiting processes of at least eight universities. Still, other parents are fighting on, questioning the strength of the cases and assailing the credibility of the prosecution’s star witnesses and the scheme’s mastermind, William “Rick” Singer. Attorney Gordon Caplan, who until last month led the private equity practice at the New York firm

of Willkie Farr & Gallagher, said Friday that he will plead guilty. He is among 33 parents charged by federal prosecutors in an alleged scheme to sneak the children of wealthy families into top universities with bribes, fake credentials and rigged college entrance exams. Caplan, of Greenwich, Conn., was charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. It was unclear to which charges Caplan will plead guilty. His attorneys did not respond to a request for comment. Caplan said Friday that his daughter was devastated to learn what he had done: paid to have her ACT score rigged. A junior in high school, she “had no knowledge whatsoever about my actions,” he said, and has not applied to any universities. Caplan apologized to his family, his friends and his former colleagues at Willkie Farr. He also apologized to “students everywhere who have been accepted to college through their own hard work.” “The remorse and shame that I feel is more than I can convey,” he said. Attorneys for another parent, Peter Jan Sartorio, said in a court filing Wednesday that the frozen

food entrepreneur will plead guilty to charges listed in a new document that prosecutors will file by the end of the month. Two other parents — Devin Sloane, an executive with a Los Angeles water systems company, and Jane Buckingham, a marketing expert — have indicated in court filings that they are nearing similar deals with prosecutors. Buckingham, who wrote a book titled “The Modern Girl’s Guide to Sticky Situations,” wanted her son to attend the University of Southern California — so desperately, prosecutors allege, that she turned to Singer, a college admissions consultant, to inflate her son’s SAT score. Buckingham paid Singer $50,000 for his alleged accomplice and ace test-taker, a 36-year-old Harvard graduate named Mark Riddell, to take the test for her son, prosecutors say. Riddell has agreed to plead guilty to two conspiracy counts. Riddell scored a 35 for the son — in the 99th percentile, according to court documents. Buckingham allegedly discussed having Riddell take the ACT for her daughter as well last October. Bill McGlashan, the former managing partner of San Francisco-based TPG Growth, is fighting

allegations that he discussed a $200,000 bribe with an athletic administrator to get his son into USC. His attorneys argued that their client differs from the other parents caught up in the scandal. McGlashan, who has pleaded not guilty, says he paid Singer $50,000 for legitimate college counseling services for his son. The two highest-profile defendants, actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, have not made deals. Both appeared in federal court in Boston this week. Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer J. Mossimo Giannulli, are charged with paying Singer $400,000 to have their two daughters admitted to USC in an athletic recruiting scam. Loughlin is accused of paying $15,000 for Riddell, Singer’s alleged accomplice, to correct her daughter’s answers on the SAT. Huffman’s husband, actor William H. Macy, has not been charged in the case, despite court records that show he was allegedly involved in the plan. Amy and Gregory Colburn, a Palo Alto, Calif., couple, were indicted by a grand jury after plea talks between their attorneys and prosecutors fell apart. The grand jury saddled the couple with an additional charge of money laundering.

An attorney for the Colburns said prosecutors had been unwilling to show the couple’s legal team all the evidence they’d amassed and insisted that any deal would require them to plead guilty to a felony. The Colburns balked and were promptly indicted. Both pleaded not guilty on Wednesday in Boston. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

This year, instead of endorsing a candidate, we want to give students the pros and cons of each campaign, so you may decide for yourself who will best represent you as a student. If you’d like to read more about this decision, we explain further in a letter from the editors.

Ben Amundson & Alexandria Farias

Samuel Braun & Madison Taylor

Flint Corliss & Wyatt Mount

Joshua Johnson & Joshua Griffin

Dominick Quintana & Aly Ammar

ASCSU presidential candidate Ben Amundson and his running mate Alexandra Farias are running on a platform that includes reducing parking costs for students, fighting on-campus food insecurity and continuing reform for the U+2 housing ordinance, which prohibits more than three unrelated people to live in the same place. Amundson and Farias are the youngest candidates vying for student body president and vice president, both having a sophomore class standing.

Presidential and vice presidential candidates Samuel Braun and Madison Taylor have a platform they say is chosen based on student need: Focused on reforming U+2, advocating for student conduct reform and improving tailgating. They identify food insecurity as having national causes but claim they want to help make a difference at CSU. Taylor said on the issue of diversity and inclusion they “try not to use it as a tagline,” but acknowledge their privilege and the need to prove their words through action.

In an interview with The Collegian, ASCSU vice presidential candidate Wyatt Mount said the campaign spent the first three days of the election season asking students what issues they would like to see fixed on campus. From the responses came the campaign’s platform, Mount said, which consists of a three-pronged self-care plan—food, housing and mental health— as well as the addition of parking reform.

After serving in the military prior to attending Colorado State University, Josh Johnson and Joshua Griffin say they feel prepared with experience to take on the roles of president and vice president in ASCSU. Their campaign focuses on unity, sustainability and transparency, according to their interview with The Collegian. They also aim to address the issues of campus connectedness, increasing sustainability through composting and paper reduction and providing a more direct line of communication.

Dominick Quintana and Aly Ammar have based their presidential platform on the concepts of “Ramily Forums,” free parking and continuing the efforts of the current administration, Syron-Sullivan. These efforts include U+2 reform, restorative justice advocacy with the City and empowering the pre-existing programs Rams Against Hunger for food insecurity and the Zero Waste Team for sustainability.

■ Pros

■ Have made concrete steps

to reducing food insecurity through fundraising for students. ■ Amundson has experience in the organization as the current ASCSU Speaker of the Senate. ■ Farias has experience with the Student Fee Review Board, which the vice president of ASCSU runs. ■ Cons ■ Amundson has been

rumored to have misreported where his Speaker of the Senate campaign money has gone. The Collegian has not been able to confirm or deny these allegations, but is looking into them. ■ Don’t recognize student diversity in their policies, which is problematic considering all the recent issues revolving around racism and discrimination on campus, and the internal complaints within ASCSU while Amundson has served as Speaker of Senate. ■ Lack of composure during debates and Plaza campaigning.

■ Experience from two different

branches within ASCSU, with Braun serving as the Director of Campus Engagement and Taylor serving as the Chief Justice. ■ Braun has been involved in work with City Council on U+2. ■ Proposed reform for student conduct hearings, as Taylor said currently students cannot sit-in on or provide oversight for these meetings. ■ Cons ■ Lack of out-right support

for diversity and inclusion. It’s important to keep these issues from becoming taglines, but the campaign should have a firmer stance. ■ Their campaign issues are slightly weaker than others by including tailgating as a major platform issue. They also loosely lumped issues of food insecurity and safety under this platform, when they both are bigger issues that should be addressed independently. ■ Lack of specifics on enacting platform issues.

■ Corliss says, since stepping

away from ASCSU, he has a better perspective on the gap between senators and constituents. ■ Corliss says he is invested in community outreach. ■ The campaign is the only campaign who has spoken with Parking and Transportation Services to discuss the feasibility of reducing parking costs for students. ■ Cons ■ Lack of current experience in ASCSU — Corliss is a former senator, while Mount has no experience in the organization. Corliss said he sponsored a “values resolution”, but The Collegian was never sent a copy of the resolution for fact-checking purposes. ■ While the campaign has many big ideas and goals for their term, it’s important to call into question how likely it will be for them to make an impact in all the areas they’ve identified as concerns. In particular, changing the “Live On” program to advocate students move off-campus is unrealistic with the University’s current goals, and likely falls outside the bounds of a one-year presidential term. ■ Didn’t start campaigning for three days while trying to build a platform, taking away time that could’ve gone towards informing the student body of their plans for the presidency and vice presidency.

■ Johnson and Griffin have

previous leadership experience, due to their time serving in the military. In addition to serving in the Air Force, Johnson is also a president of the Student Veterans Organization. Griffin, an Army veteran, previously managed a budget of $225 million with zero loss of accountability. ■ After acknowledging that transparency is an issue that comes up each election season, they have proposed an app to allow CSU students to communicate with their college representatives. ■ The campaign is prioritizing sustainability to further the University’s green initiatives, by advocating for additional compost bins around campus and more electronic submissions of assignments. ■ Cons ■ Griffin has not previously

worked in any of ASCSU’s three branches. ■ Advocating for more professors to use Canvas for assignment submissions, instead of requiring assignments be submitted on paper, might fall outside their jurisdiction as student body president and vice president. ■ The rhetoric used when asked about inclusivity, diversity, and unity, while well-intentioned, delegitimized the experience of a lot of marginalized groups at CSU (outside of veteran students which is their primary focus).

■ Both have experience in ASCSU without being embroiled in any controversy or cliques - Quintana took a year off to work as a resident assistant for University Housing and is a site leader for CSU’s Alternative Spring Break program and the president of Lambda Sigma Upsilon Latino Fraternity. Ammar is as a representative of the Office of International Programs. ■ Focus on bringing in and engaging more with international and other underrepresented students and including them in more campus events. ■ Concrete plans to engage and hear from students with the Ramily Forums. ■ Cons ■ Despite previous experience in the 47th and 48th Senates, they haven’t sponsored major legislation in the ASCSU Senate. ■ Great ideas, but not accessible on The Plaza, which undermines their points about increased accessibility. ■ Although very well-intended, promising free two-hour parking — even if just during finals week — is difficult to deliver on in reality.

LETTER FROM THE EDITORS

ASCSU, why should we vote for you? Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98

Shelby Holsinger @shelbyholsinger

Mikaela Rodenbaugh @mikarodenbaugh

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. This letter from the editor is from The Collegian upper management team: Haley Candelario, Collegian editor-in-chief; Shelby Holsinger, Collegian managing editor; and Mikaela Rodenbaugh, Collegian digital production manager. Candelario has reported on the Associated Students of Colorado State University since Spring 2017. Dear readers, Every year, The Collegian has endorsed a campaign running for president and vice president of the Associated Students of Colorado State University. Last year, we strayed from tradition and endorsed the student body, advocating for them to vote in the election. This year, we’re straying from tradition again and offering the pros and cons of each campaign. But this year’s elections felt different. We have had major issues with the way some campaigns have conducted themselves this election season while out on The Plaza.

Ultimately, the offices of ASCSU should not be a popularity contest, but rather an opportunity to serve the student body. And we take great offense knowing some of the candidates are campaigning to students under the guise that they have a positive relationship with members of The Collegian. Telling students walking through The Plaza that The Collegian loves you or that a Collegian reporter is your best friend is not only a blatant lie, but it puts us in the predicament of looking biased towards a campaign. We work incredibly hard to independently report the facts as best we can and give fair coverage to everyone involved in elections this year and every year. Last Wednesday, several Collegian editors were in our newsroom until almost midnight working on the election guide that printed Thursday. As it got later in the night, we grew more frustrated every time an issue popped up, but we pushed through. We even made an effort to include coverage of a third Speaker of the Senate candidate when it was announced that evening that he would be running because we owed it to our readers to cover all the candidates. We discussed how we would give fair coverage to every campaign, so our readers would not think we preferred one candidate over another. Questions like, “How can we fix this campaign’s page so it looks like the rest of the campaign pages?”; “Is this campaign’s photo as big as the photos on the other campaign pages?”; and “Are all the campaign features all around the same word count?” were frequently asked as we put together the election guide. Comments such as “The Collegian loves us!” negate the hard work we do to make sure readers don’t think we are biased to-

wards a specific campaign. And we’ll be honest with you, reader: On The Collegian editorial board, we don’t prefer one campaign over another. If anything, we prefer none. We’ve heard from several of our editors and reporters that candidates have chased them down on The Plaza as members of The Collegian, and have asked them if they are going to vote for their campaign because they managed to remember the name of that person.

“And we’ll be honest with you, reader: On The Collegian editorial board, we don’t prefer one campaign over another. If anything, we prefer none.” Collegian Managing Editor Shelby Holsinger and Collegian News Director Austin Fleskes were told by a specific campaign that a new reporter, who recently joined the staff in February, was going to vote for him. The reporter almost lost her opportunity to grow at The Collegian through reporting on ASCSU because her alleged friendship with this candidate would have been considered a conflict of interest in her ability to report on the election season. One candidate commented directly to us as upper-management editors, “We’re going to get The Collegian’s endorsement because we’re best friends with them.” We told the candidates we would appreciate if they would stop making comments like that to us and to our staff, to which the candidates responded that it was just a joke. The statement was not taken lightly by us because of the

ethical concerns it raises and because of The Collegian’s history with ASCSU. Comments like these create an unintentional violation of the third principle of the Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics, which we follow as a publication. This principle of acting independently states that journalists should avoid conflicts of interest, whether they are real or perceived. This means that if a reporter really is close friends with a candidate, they would not be able to report on that candidate or the election because it would be considered a conflict of interest. Many editors and reporters have come to dread walking through The Plaza because they know a candidate will chase them down and announce to the campus that they are friends with The Collegian. Last Monday, Candelario and Holsinger experienced this for themselves. The first words the candidate said to us were to the effect of, “Are you voting for me?” before informing us about the platform that he is running on or giving us a reason why he should have our vote. Last Thursday, as Candelario walked through The Plaza, another candidate offered her his campaign flyer. Candelario said, “No, thank you.” As she continued walking, he called behind her, “The Collegian loves us!” Historically, many members of ASCSU have argued the opposite, echoing the sentiment, “The Collegian is biased and never wants to write about the good things that happen in ASCSU.” The organization has often wanted to view its relationship with The Collegian as a marketing and public relations opportunity, and they express their frustrations when we report on issues that arise within the organization, such as $800,000 being

overlooked by past presidential administrations and the impeachment of a former student body president, which, as far as we could tell, stemmed from personal issues among ASCSU staff. We have written about the positive efforts the organization has made, such as the Water Bottle Bill and the organization’s campaign to change the U+2 housing ordinance to Me+3, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t ignore the issues that come up, too. We see this every time ASCSU debates the merits of continuing student subscriptions to student media when the contract between the organization and our parent company, the Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation, is up for renewal. We’ve worked very hard this year to establish a professional relationship between ASCSU and RMSMC, without jeopardizing our ethics as journalists at RMSMC. But it shouldn’t matter if we have a good professional relationship with you as a candidate or if we’ve gotten to know each other when taking a class together — it doesn’t mean you have our vote. The same thing should go for all students. We recognize this isn’t an issue across all campaigns. Some have not stopped us on The Plaza or made comments about our perceived favoritism towards their campaign, but many have not impressed us by being in touch with the actual needs of our student body. So we want to know, for those who are asking students, “Can I count on your vote?” - why should you?

SOFTBALL

CSU softball win streak ends after 20 games By Junior Guerrero @juniorg45

Colorado State softball’s victory in last weekend’s series against San Jose State ended bittersweet as the Rams fell short in the final game, ending their historic win streak at 20 games. The action began Friday as the Rams took the field ready to build on their 18-game win streak. Through two innings, both teams remained scoreless. Sophomore Tara Shadowen scored the first run of the game with a solo shot in the top of the third inning, giving the Rams the lead at 1-0. The Spartans regained control with two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. The Spartans 2-1 lead didn’t last long as the Rams put together a solid fifth inning to take it back. The Rams strung together multiple hits and added four more runs to make the game 5-2. The Rams kept the Spartans off the board in the sixth and seventh in to finish the game. This extended the Rams’ win streak to 19. Game two kicked off Saturday. Senior Bridgette Hutton took the mound in another important game for the Rams. Not only was it to keep the overall win streak alive, but the conference win streak alive as well. Runs were hard to come by in this match up. The Rams managed to push a run across in the second inning to take the lead at 1-0. They added another run in the fourth inning to extend their lead to 2-0. While the offense was doing all they could to build a lead, Hutton remained in control of the Spartans throughout the game. The Spartans scored one run in the seventh inning, but their late rally wasn’t enough. The Rams ended the game with a 2-1 victory. Great pitching and gritty at bats helped the

Rams make their win streak an even 20. In the final game of the weekend series, the Rams looked to extend their win streak to 21. The Spartans jumped out to an early lead in the first inning. They posted three runs to put the Rams on their heels. CSU struggled to put together runs early in the game. They were held scoreless through three innings until they got a spark in the fourth. Senior Lauren Buchanan drove in a run with a double. The Spartans led 3-1 but the Rams were back on track. After a clean inning on defense, the Rams added another run in the fifth with a sac fly. Trailing by a run with two innings to work with, the Rams

were unable to bring any runs across and their 20-game win streak came to an end. After almost a month and a half (42 days) of perfection, the Rams showed that they are mortal. But a 20-game win streak is an incredible feat and this loss doesn’t mean the season is over. In fact, with 14 games remaining, the Rams have what it takes to go on and win the Mountain West Conference.

Drag Show >> from page 1 Auntie Depressant, a co-director of the show who asked that her real name not be published, said she got involved in the show last semester and has put a lot of work into getting the funds to pull off the largest University drag show in northern Colorado. Auntie Depressant, who performed to Billie Eilish’s “Bury a Friend,” said that putting on the wig and all the makeup is a confidence booster and makes the experience fun. “It was a lot of fun and it was really liberating for sure,” Auntie Depressant said. “This drag show is very much when you go there, everybody there is there for the art, there for the culture, there to represent, whether or not they’re directly involved in the community or just to watch a good performance.” Juliana Saludes, a senior clinical counseling psychology major, performed a tribute to Freddy Mercury. Saludes has performed in two drag shows at CSU and said, in addition to the drag show being financially important to the Pride Resource Center, it’s a good way for people who are not in the LGBTQ

community to learn more about the community and eliminate prejudice. “There’s all sorts of research about different people groups interacting, and if you have them interact in a non-confronting space, the prejudice will lower,” Saludes said. “So when we have people who aren’t necessarily part of the LGBTQ community or who don’t know anything about the community coming to a drag show and getting entertainment and education through entertainment, it’s a good way to bring people in carefully and give them an experience that will make them more likely to be more kind and accepting.” L’Whor said the beauty of drag is being able to dress and express however a person wants to, whether that’s beautiful, scary or weird and encouraged everyone to consider trying drag themselves. “I’m a strong believer that everybody in their life, regardless of how they identify and look, where they come from (or) their background, should try and experiment with drag one time,” L’Whor said. “You will find so much about yourself throughout that process. You’re going to learn so much about you.” Julia Trowbridge can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

‘The Accountant of Sexual Assault Awareness Month Auschwitz’ connects to focus on community building Holocaust to today By Ty Davis

@tydavisacw

By Julia Trowbeidge @chapin_jules

Although the Holocaust happened around 80 years ago, Nazis are still being prosecuted today. “The Accountant of Auschwitz,” a documentary directed by Matthew Shoychet shown in the fourth annual ACT Human Rights Film Festival, not only documents the trial of former Auschwitz bookkeeper Oskar Gröning, but the precedent set by the conviction of a 93-year-old former Nazi. After World War II ended, the German government prevented the prosecution of Nazis because the country wanted to move forward and not think about their actions, according to multiple individuals interviewed in the film. Specifically, the film cited that out of 800,000 Nazis that were around after World War II, only 6,200 were put on trial and 128 were arrested. But the trial of John Demjanjuk, a former Nazi camp guard, provided the ability to convict people who aided in the murders during the Holocaust. Starting with this pivotal trial, the German government is now looking to prosecute surviving Nazis. “It’s a subject that is very well documented, but there’s still so much to be told,” Shoychet said “I was worried that people might dismiss the film because they think ‘oh, I know what happened,’ but what was very powerful is that it was a modern story, it was a trial that just recently happened.” Although this documentary focuses on the voices of Holocaust survivors, there are many voices and ideas that are juxtaposed in the film, with joyful German music with images of concentration camp guards playing around mixed with images of the horrors of the concentration camps. The juxtaposition of ideas and the multitudes of opinions works to create a fuller picture of the issue and to bring present-day relevance to a historic event. An obstacle that the filmmakers had with the documentary was the inability to film

court proceedings. In order to illustrate them, Shoychet used animations with sketches of the people speaking next to their words, which allowed the audience to focus on the statements said. In its entirety, the documentary explores the trial of Gröning, why it took so long to prosecute a Nazi and the surrounding implications with convicting a 93-year-old man. While debating if he had grown as a person, the movie closes with the conviction of Gröning and thoughts of what that conviction means today. As Holocaust survivor and co-plaintiff, Hedy Bohm is asked about how the trial went. Bohm says the trial set a precedent that, no matter how long it takes, justice will always catch up with people who commit crimes against humanity. All the while, images of neo-nazis in places around the world including Charlottesville, Virginia are shown on the screen. Encore screenings: Angels Are Made of Light: Monday, April 8, 6:30 p.m. at the Lyric Moonlight Sonata: Deafness in Three Movements and Edgecombe: Tuesday, April 9, 6:30 p.m. at The Lyric Gaza and Our Song to War: Wednesday, April 10, 6:30 p.m. at The Lyric Midnight Family and Trapped in the City of a Thousand Mountains: Thursday, April 11, 6:30 p.m. at The Lyric Shoychet said that he wanted to create a balance of the voices in the film in order for the audience to determine how they felt about the trial. With this idea, Shoychet pointed out in the film that while Gröning spoke in interviews about his participation in the Holocaust to combat Holocaust deniers, he also tried to appeal the verdict multiple times before his death. “Right away, as an audience, you’re thinking ‘guilty, he’s a Nazi,’ but there’s so much more to that idea to the fact he actually testified in the courtroom, which never really happened before,” Shoychet said. “What I think everyone agrees on are the benefits for historical purposes, that a perpetrator actually, in the courtroom, said ‘yes, these things happened and I was a part of it,’ is very important, because you had holocaust deniers outside saying no one was ever killed in Auschwitz.” Julia Trowbridge can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

Recognized as Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Colorado State University in conjunction with the Women and Gender Advocacy Center and the Red Whistle Brigade will be hosting events all April to raise awareness and education on numerous subjects regarding sexual assault. While having no official date of origin, SAAM is believed to have originated from protests in the 1970s in England by women wanting to rebel against and bring awareness to the violences they experienced at night. Eventually, these events spread and coalesced into the first Take Back the Night event in San Francisco in 1978, according to Her Campus by Appalachian State University. In the ’80s the National Coalition Against Sexual Assault began advocating for a week, and eventually a month, to raise awareness about sexual violence. In 2001 the National Sexual Violence Resource Center began organizing event nationwide, according to the NSVRC. This year’s events focus on a variety of intersectional topics including disability, male survivors of sexual assault, self-care and mental well-being. “We didn’t have a set-inmind mission statement for this year,” Assistant Director

of Educational Programs at the WGAC, Elizabeth Amoa-Awuah, said. “What we try to do is really encourage our brigaders — so members of Red Whistle Brigade — to look into topics they’re interested in and make some kind of program based on that.”

■ Take Back The Night Apr. 25

Ashlyn Bradley, a member of the Red Whistle Brigade, said a main point of Sexual Assault Awareness Month is to emphasize inclusivity. “Every time we do a program or an event we try to make it welcome to literally everyone,” Bradley said. “One our main focuses, when we’re planning something, is ‘is it inclusive to

all of CSU’s campus?’” Some of these events are lectures, but a few are open discussions and gatherings where people can simply meet to enjoy themselves or discuss their experiences. “There’s something for everyone, there’s facilitations if you’re into presentations and someone talking,” Bradley said. “There’s speakers, there’s a carnival, there’s a fashion show, there really is a little bit of everything.” Amoa-Awuah said that during this year’s Take Back The Night event, people will have the chance to speak on stage to share their personal experiences with sexual violence. The hope is that it will hopefully inspire others to seek out community. “Something that survivors often face is a loss of community for one reason or another after the violence that impacts them, and so this is a way of rebuilding that community in a sense,” Amoa-Awuah said. According to the NSRVC almost two-thirds of students experience a form of sexual violence. CSU has a number of resources available to those who have, including but not limited to The Women and Gender Advocacy Center: (970)-491-6384 and Colorado State University Counseling Services: (970)-4917121.

‘Moonlight Sonata’ shows complexities of deafness By Maddie Wright @maddiewright

The ACT Human Rights Film Festival started off with a well-produced film about deafness and the complexity that comes with it. The ACT Human Rights Film Festival is an international film festival dedicated to human rights issues. This is the fourth annual festival. ACT stands for Awaken to the world around you, Connect across cultures and Transform communities near and far. It takes place from April 5 through April 13 at both the Lory Student Center Theatre and The Lyric Cinema. “Moonlight Sonata: Deafness in Three Movements” was directed by Irene Taylor Brodsky. The film is her second on the subject of deafness and how it shows up in her family. This film follows primarily her son, Jonas, who became deaf at age 4. He underwent surgery and got cochlear implants and was able to hear. Now, years down the road with Jonas as an 8th grader, the documentary focuses on his journey with being a deaf person who is able to hear with his implants. Jonas, a music lover and piano player, becomes captivated by Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata.” He wants to learn to play a challenging piece, and footage

from his piano lessons and solo practice sessions are shown throughout the documentary, making it a crucial part of the film. Brodsky’s first documentary, “Hear and Now,” focused on her parents who are both deaf. Once again, they make up an important part of this documentary, showing the generational differences of deafness and the challenges that come with aging. An encore screening of “Moonlight Sonata” Tuesday, April 9 at the Lyric Cinema will be fully accessible for deaf and hearing-impaired community members.

ENCORE SCREENING: ■ An encore screening of “Moon-

light Sonata” Tuesday, April 9 at the Lyric Cinema will be fully accessible for deaf and hearing-impaired community members.

There are eight themes at the ACT festival this year, and each film fits into at least one. “Moonlight Sonata: Deafness in Three Movements” encompasses “animating the lives of others” and “unbearable lightness of being a kid.” There was beautifully done animation through the film of piano playing, birds and generally soothingly sad colors, like blues and purples. For the “unbearable lightness of being a kid,” Jonas as the focal point of the documentary provides a hero of sorts for the audience to root for in achieving his dreams.

The film also makes a point to emphasize Jonas’ child-like tendencies throughout the film, like dabbing and playing Minecraft, to emphasize that he is no different than other kids his age. There are so many symbols in the documentary that provide a deep, thematic understanding of the lives of this family, like driving. Brodsky’s dad, who is deaf, got his license when he was a teenager and that served as a sense of freedom and autonomy. But, as he gets older and starts showing early signs of dementia, his license gets taken away. His dementia also serves as a symbol to some extent as it starts to take what Brodsky described as his most prized possession: his intellect. The documentary is filled to the brim with emotion. Members of the audience were crying tears of happiness and sadness throughout the film. The struggles of the family, whether it be struggles in how they relate to deafness, age or just plain old family dynamics, were emotion provoking. Watching Jonas succeed also evoked strong emotions. “Moonlight Sonata” was also well-produced in addition to emotionally moving. The audio mixing alone deserves a nod. In film about deafness, the audio was paid attention to in scenes with lots of noise contrasted against scenes of silence. The showing of “Moonlight Sonata” was followed by a talk and Q&A session from the director Irene Taylor Brodsky and the producer Tahria Sheather.
