The Larimer County Jail has plans in place to expand its facility to accommodate the increasing population of Larimer County. It is expecting to add an additional 400 to 500 beds to the jail’s current 500 beds, ensuring inmate separation is adequate for all genders, ages and behaviors inside the jail. “The proposed expansion of the jail is to meet the needs of today’s populations,” Captain Palmer, facility administrator for the Larimer County jail said.

Proposed Larimer County Jail expansion causes community backlash By Corbin Reiter @CorbinReiter

The Larimer County Board of Commissioners has proposed an expansion of the County Jail, and the community response is drastically mixed. In the past year, there was an average of 545 people within the Larimer County jail per day, said Sidna Rachid, an advocate for the issue, during an event held on the Colorado State University cam-

pus. Currently, the jail can hold a maximum capacity of 617 inmates, according to the Larimer County website. The proposed expansion would increase the size of the jail to 822 beds. On March 28, the Division of Student Affairs Education Committee and the CSU chapter of the Young Democratic Socialists of America hosted a presentation by Rachid who discussed the proposed expansion of Larimer County Jail. The jail was built in 1983 and

remains largely unchanged. The most recent renovation was done in 2014, but the fixtures are mostly originals from when the jail was built, said Jim Ramirez, a sheriff lieutenant. The proposed expansion of the jail is to meet the needs of today’s populations, Administrator for the Larimer County Jail Captain Timothy Palmer said. The Larimer County Jail has run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for 35 years, and it is wearing out, Palmer said.

The Board of County Commissioners is funding the proposed expansion through a certificate of proposal, which would allow for the bill to be passed without votes from the people living in Larimer County. The Board’s vote on this proposal is scheduled to occur in fall 2019. “(The COP) is a debt instrument that does not require prior voter approval before issuance,” Rachid said. “It is one way that the county commissioners can expand the jail without going to the citizens

of the county.” Since 2014, there has been an increase in the overall jail population, according to the Larimer County website. From January 2014 to January 2019, the average jail population increased by 132 people, with a peak of 623 in July 2017. “Nobody likes a bigger jail,” Palmer said. “But no one likes paltry conditions either.”

Meet the researchers behind CSU’s Microbiome Initiative By Delaney Allen DelaneyAllen0

Scientists believe small but mighty microbes may possibly be the hidden key to better understanding our environments, and the Microbiome Initiative at Colorado State University is working to unlock it. The Microbiome Initiative Faculty is a group of CSU researchers and scientists that specialize in analyzing microbiomes, which are whole populations of different types of microorganisms that interact with each other in an ecosystem, according to CSU’s Microbiome Initiative Faculty. In 2014, the offices of the Provost and the Vice President for Research requested proposals for a faculty cluster hiring put out a call for a cluster hire, which is when multiple people from the same discipline are hired around the same time to promote certain initiatives, according to SOURCE. Since then, the University has hired six faculty members specializing in microbial studies. Alongside other colleagues, these faculty members make up the Microbiome Network, which connects CSU microbial scholars interested both in understanding

the functional basis of microbiomes, and their relevance to human, animal, plant and soil biology, according to the program’s website. These faculty researchers work across disciplines, ranging from agricultural fields to chemical and biological engineering. Mike Wilkins, an assistant professor in the soil and crop sciences department who was hired as part of the Microbiome Initiative, said he is researching how microbial communities function beneath the Earth’s surface. “DNA sequencing is becoming increasingly cheap. For many decades, microbiologists worked with microbes they could isolate from the environment in the lab,” Wilkins said. “And, that’s really great work, but obviously there’s a lot of different microbes that we can’t culture or grow in the lab. We use DNA sequencing to investigate how they interact with their environment.” Wilkins said the analysis of microbes and microbiomes is an important step in understanding larger global issues, such as climate change and the use of alternative biofuels. “I think CSU is being very forward thinking. Microbes interact

with a lot of different research areas,” Wilkins said. “We have a number of issues relating to soil health and quality, agriculture and water resources, and microbiomes play a key role in all those topics.” Associate Professor in the department of animal sciences Jessica Metcalf wrote in an email to The Collegian that she focuses on the microbial ecology of vertebrate decomposition, which she and her lab primarily study in a forensics framework. “We are developing novel tools to estimate how long a person has been dead based on microbes associated with the body, Metcalf wrote. “Broadly, I hope to better understand how microbes interact with each other to accomplish their many varied and important functions on Earth. Practically, I aim to find new uses for microbiome science in forensics, medicine and agriculture.” Ed Hall, an assistant professor in the department of ecosystem science and sustainability, said he was hired fall 2016 as part of the Microbiome Network Initiative. “This is not just about humans or animals or plants,” Hall said. “By studying diverse microbial communities, but more about

how we can learn about whole ecosystem properties.” Assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering Joshua Chan focuses largely on modeling and engineering microbiomes, according to the Microbiome Initiative Faculty website. “This is a really important area of research. Microbiomes have a huge impact in our lives, to agriculture, human health, wastewater treatment and everything else,” Chan said. “Microbiomes are everywhere and involved in every system.” Chan said that Colorado is a unique spot for studying microbiomes because of the varying geographical terrain. Even in and around Fort Collins, there are vastly different ecosystems to observe which are certain to contain different microbes. Other members of the Microbiome Initiative include Pankaj Trivedi, assistant professor in bioagricultural sciences and pest management; and Kelly Wrighton, assistant professor in the soil and crop sciences department, with appointments in microbiology, biochemistry and ecology. “We are really lucky to have such a nice group of people,” Hall said. “We’re really excited to start

CITY

City Council adopts updated Fort Collins City Plan with caveats By Samantha Ye @samxye4

It took over a year of planning, but City Council has finally adopted (most of ) an updated City Plan, the comprehensive set of guidelines for the Fort Collins’ future. In a unanimous vote, Council adopted both the updated City Plan and Transit Master Plan with the caveat that staff will tighten up some unclear language and concepts in the document.

COUNCIL-REQUESTED CHANGES TO THE TRANSIT MASTER PLAN ■ Move up the cost estimates in

the document so people will more easily find it ■ Strike the “5-year plan” concept and replace it with language suggesting it is only a “next step” in service with no definitive timeline “I don’t think we got down to wordsmithing but (instead), really expressing those concerns and getting them out and dialing them in in a constructive manner that, I think, in the long run, only

improves it,” said Mayor Wade Troxell. The City Plan is the master plan which will guide the values and goals of Fort Collins for the next 20 to 25 years in everything from affordable housing to culture and recreation. The TMP is a separate document guiding transportation issues specifically, but the ideas are also in the City Plan. The last plan was made in 2011 and had not been adjusted since. According to City staff, most of the plan will be continuing on the same trajectory as was set back then. Significant updates to the plan came in the areas of affordable housing and transportation, both of which are rapidly evolving situations, staff said. The City has been gathering input from the community since 2018 in order to inform the updated plan. All councilmembers praised the outreach efforts. “To the City staff: job well done,” Troxell said. “(The City Plan) is a huge funnel down to something very specific that has to be meaningful and help guide the next 20, 25 years, so that’s a huge task, and job well done.” Other City Council Topics: Upon second hearing, Council again approved the one-year pilot program to allow Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes on paved des-

ignated trails in Natural Areas and Recreation Areas.

COUNCIL-REQUESTED CHANGES TO THE CITY PLAN ■ Removal of part of the dark

skies strategy to promote Earth Hour and the International Dark Sky Week; less specific language for dark skies goals ■ Clarification of the area median income qualifications for assistance priority in affordable housing ■ Incorporate data from the TMP to illustrate the transit situation described in the City Plan; improve the language describing the transit ridership As Fort Collins’ current landfill is expected to be full by 2025, Larimer County has adopted the Solid Waste Infrastructure Management Plan to take in the region’s waste. This includes constructing a new landfill and several new waste recovery centers, which will divert up to 41% of the current materials going to the landfill, according to the County website.

People that are held in the jail before their trial are more than likely unable to pay their bail, Rachid said. Only 4% of people that are held in jail before their trial are charged with non-bailable offenses, such as murder. While only a small percentage of people in the jail do not have the option to pay bail, Palmer said the inmates housed on a pretrial basis are predominantly held there because they are considered a danger to the community. “Seventy-five percent of the people here on pretrial confinement are here for a felony offense,” Palmer said. Palmer said the designs of the jail from years ago do not meet the

AFFORDABLE HOUSING

TRANSPORTATION

■ Encourage diverse housing op-

■ Alleviate traffic congestion and

tions such as multi-family units and accessory dwellings ■ Refocus on infill and redevelopment to make the most of the City’s remaining land with compact growth ■ Remove the regulatory barriers hindering desired housing types while keeping in mind neighborhood livability impact

TRANSIT MASTER PLAN HIGHLIGHTS

optimize traffic flow

■ Provide high-frequency transit

where possible (i.e. providing service every 15 minutes instead of every 60 minutes) ■ Integrate more mobility options such as ride-sharing ■ Link bike and pedestrian paths into a better connected network ■ Prepare and adapt for new transportation technologies such as electric vehicles and drone deliveries

■ Improve regional transit service

Jail Rachid attributes this growth as an unintended side effect of the use of the Colorado Pretrial Assessment Tool. In 2012, Colorado began to use the CPAT in order to more accurately set the bail of recently booked inmates, Rachid said. This system is used to determine how likely an arrestee is to return for their court date. Rachid said the CPAT is a great questionnaire to use when trying to figure out if an inmate is organized enough to return to the court date. It examines whether the inmate has a cell phone, a permanent residence and past encounters with the law, among other things. “When you look at the CPAT if you are a homeless or transient person, you will quickly fall into level two,” Rachid said. The higher the level that is recorded on the CPAT, the more likely it is that bail will be set at a higher rate, Rachid said. “The hold and sentenced population have stayed pretty steady, around 200 people,” Rachid said. “The number of pretrial detention has risen and that has caused the need for the expansion of the jail.”

WHAT’S IN THE CITY PLAN?

needs of today’s population. The expansion of the jail, he said, is meant in part to serve the purpose of updating the facilities to meet the needs of modern life. This includes how people are housed and designing part of the jail with concerns of mental health in mind. “It is a question of how do the overcrowded and appalling conditions in the building affect the constitutional care of the inmates that are housed here,” Palmer said. “The jail is not being expanded in order to fill it with more inmates. The jail is being expanded in order to improve the living conditions for the inmates.” Corbin Reiter can be reached at news@colllegian.com.

between Fort Collins and other Northern Colorado cities, Boulder and Denver ■ Develop Mobility Hubs (multimodal transfer points between transit, bicycles, cars, etc.) and Mobility Innovation Zones (low-density areas of the City to be supported by on-demand services) ■ Study possibilities for dedicated funding sources

ASCSU discusses election of Speaker of the Senate, hears 6 new bills By Charlotte Lang @ChartrickWrites

The Associated Students of Colorado State University addressed seven new bills, one of which discussed returning Speaker of the Senate to an internally-elected position in the Senate as a result of alleged ASCSU constitutional violations during the recent election season. Senate discusses Speaker of the Senate amendment Connor Cheadle, senator to the College of Liberal Arts, proposed for ASCSU’s Speaker of the Senate to return to an internally-elected position, meaning elections for the candidate would occur within the Senate. Cheadle said he believes it’s clear the Senate needs to discuss the nature of the Speaker of the Senate. Cheadle said that, according to the ASCSU Constitution, the Speaker of the Senate must be presented to the Senate by the elections manager during the first week of campaigning and must be approved for candidacy by a one-third vote, but the clause has not been enforced for the past three years. “Essentially, what this bill is saying is that either we start doing that, we start following our own rules, our own guidelines, or we change it,” Cheadle said. When asked by Sen. Ethan Burshek about why his first inclination was to alter the Constitution as opposed to going to the judicial branch, Cheadle said the Senate doesn’t follow rules. “We have a notoriously bad symptom of not following our rules and ignoring them outright,” Cheadle said. “We have seen this in the election from, from my understanding, all of the campaigns … My point is that we are not following our own freaking rules.” Cheadle said that, after giving it some thought, he decided that if the rules aren’t being followed then it’s best to make them simple. The bill was sent to the internal affairs committee after a motion by Vice President-Elect Alexandra Farias. Senate hears new bills regarding internships, food insecurity, mentoring software, study spaces and more Six other bills were presented to the Senate. Five of them were sent to other committees and one passed. The passing bill, the Combined Supplemental Funding Bill, was presented by Chief of Staff Zachary Vaishampayan and asked for the Senate to move money from fethaexecutive accounts with more than they need to accounts with less than they need. “We’re moving the money to places where it actually will be able to do good and be spent be-

fore the year is over,” Vaishampayan said. The bill passed with a 37-0-0 vote. The Senate also discussed a non-academic student internship experience bill that would encourage CSU students to take advantage of internships by allowing them to apply for a stipend of $4,000 for the summer.

“We have a notoriously bad symptom of not following our rules and ignoring them outright. We have seen this in the election from, from my understanding, all of the campaigns … My point is that we are not following our own freaking rules.” CONNOR CHEADLE SENATOR TO THE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS

Rick Schleusener, director of academics and author of the bill, said that this would be intended for students with unpaid or underpaid internships. This bill, requesting $60,000 from ASCSU to fund CSU students in internships, was referred to the Budgetary Affairs Committee. Another bill discussed dealt with funding for dependable food. Presented by Henry Stowers, director of health, this bill

asked for $50,000 to be used for maintaining the Pocket Pantry program on campus. “As a student body founded on principles of compassion, empathy and community, it is our responsibility to respond to the needs of peers, our faculty and our community,” Stowers said. This bill was also referred to Budgetary Affairs Committee. Collin Metscher, senator for the College of Business, presented a bill about mentoring software. This bill proposed software

that would allow students of their college to connect with possible mentors during their time at the University. This bill was ultimately referred to the University Issues Committee. Metscher also authored a bill asking for $21,000 in order for the College of Business to invest in study booths for Rockwell Hall. This would increase comfortable spaces for students to study. The Senate referred this bill

to the External Affairs Committee. The final new bill of the night was in regards to lecture capture, the ability for professors to record and upload videos of their lectures for students. This would require $60,000 from the Senate to fill 17 classrooms with this technology. The bill was sent to the Budgetary Affairs Committee. Charlotte Lang can be reached news@collegian.com.

Researchers develop new tech to detect small amounts of antibodies By Delaney Allen @DelaneyAllen0

For a team of Colorado State University researchers, an exciting development has been made with the creation of new technology—a small wire, a quarter of the size of a human hair, that can detect incredibly small amounts of antibodies in human blood. The development was made by professors Chuck Henry, David Dandy and Brian Geiss, along with a team of other researchers at CSU. The idea behind the research, Geiss said, was to develop new technology that would detect very small amounts of antibodies in a patient’s blood sample. Upon infection by a virus, bacteria or other organism, antibodies will be generated to fight infection. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, or ELISA, is the current method to detect antibodies in the patient’s blood, Geiss said. However, the ELISA has very low sensitivity and is only effective at detecting large amounts of antibodies, which is not useful in catching an infection in its early stages. “We wanted to be able to create a system where we could detect these antibodies earlier so that we could tell a patient that they are infected so they can seek supportive care, even before they are sick,” Geiss said. The wire, Geiss said, is fairly simple. A fine gold wire is charged,

similar to a battery, and coated with a solution of proteins from a virus. When interacting with human blood, the antibodies will bind or “stick” to viral proteins on the wire, increasing the mass of the wire, which is then electronically measured.

“We wanted to be able to create a system where we could detect these antibodies earlier so that we could tell a patient that they are infected so they can seek supportive care, even before they are sick.” BRIAN GEISS PROFESSOR

On top of this, the wire is very inexpensive to craft in terms of material cost, ranging anywhere from 50 cents to a dollar per piece, Geiss said. “We did this initially with purified antibodies, either against Zika or Chikungunya virus, and we originally found that we could detect very very low amounts of antibodies, down to 10 antibody molecules in a sample, which is extremely sensitive,” Geiss said. “The ELISA, in comparison, can’t detect below a billion without special modification.” In the future, the team will ex-

pand the wire’s capabilities to detect bacterial specific antibodies, autoimmune diseases and more. Lei Wang, who recently received her doctorate from the School of Biomedical Engineering, said she worked with the professors to develop the wire. “I was a Ph.D. student and this paper is the last part of my dissertation,” Wang said. “In the future, I hope this device could provide a

low-cost but accurate way for early infection detection.” Geiss also said he hopes to see this implemented in medical facilities around the world. A big goal for the team is to make a device that is sensitive, robust, but also extremely inexpensive, especially in areas of the world plagued by diseases. “If we can develop a device that can take a very small blood

sample, about the size of a drop from a finger prick, adding it to the device, and telling the patient that we see particles that are specific to a virus, we can try to tailor treatment appropriately,” Geiss said. “I think that will be powerful because it is extremely sensitive, very effective, and very inexpensive.” Delaney Allen can be reached at news@collegian.com.

William Barr to hold Thursday morning conference on Mueller report By Chris Megerian Los Angeles Times

Attorney General William Barr plans to hold a news conference at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time Thursday as the Justice Department prepares to release a redacted version of the report on the Russia investigation by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, according to a spokeswoman. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller and supervised his work, is also scheduled to participate. The report has gone through a redaction process to remove sensitive information, such as grand jury evidence and classified intelligence, since it was filed on March 22. The Justice Department plans to send copies to Capitol Hill between 11 a.m. and noon Eastern time, more than an hour after Barr speaks to the media, a plan that sparked criticism from House Democrats. “The attorney general appears to be waging a media campaign on behalf of President Trump,” Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the New York Dem-

ocrat who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, said at a news conference Wednesday evening. “Rather than letting the facts of the report speak for themselves, the attorney general is taking unprecedented steps to spin Mueller’s nearly two-year investigation,” he said. Trump said during a radio interview that he may hold a news conference himself Thursday, and his legal team is planning to release its own counter-report. “You’ll see a lot of very strong things come out tomorrow,” he said. Trump praised Barr as a “fantastic attorney general” who “has grabbed it by the horn.” Mueller’s report is nearly 400 pages long, Justice Department officials have said. It is the product of an investigation that began in mid-2016, when Moscow was in the midst of a covert operation to try to sway the U.S. presidential election by hacking emails and spreading disinformation on social media. When Trump fired James B. Comey as FBI director in May 2017, Rosenstein chose Mueller as special counsel to lead the probe.

The investigation also expanded to examine whether Trump had obstructed justice.

“Rather than letting the facts of the report speak for themselves, the attorney general is taking unprecedented steps to spin Mueller’s nearly two-year investigation.” REP. JERROLD NADLER CHAIR OF THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE

Barr released a four-page letter on March 24 summarizing what he called the “principal conclusions” from Mueller’s work. He said the investigation did not establish a criminal conspiracy between Trump’s campaign and the Russian government. Barr also wrote that Mueller did not reach a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice. Barr and

Parents of two Sandy Hook victims seek to revive a negligence suit staff members may have aggravated the attack by walking out of a closed meeting room to investigate sounds that later proved to be gunshots. Both women were immediately shot and killed. Under the town and school system emergency response protocols, the lawyers said the women should have remained hidden in the closed room. If the school staffers were free to exercise discretion in responding the attack, the town and school board are immune from negligence claims and potentially massive damages. But if it is proven that the employees were obligated by law to follow emergency procedures and avoid using their own judgment, the town could be liable. Wilson, in her written decision, called the suit’s premise “illogical.” At a minimum, she said staff should be expected to at least try to determine the nature, location and direction of a threat before responding. “Emergencies, by their very nature, are sudden and often rapidly evolving events, and a response can never be one hundred percent scripted and directed, and is a significant reason why police officers have been afforded broad discretion,” Wilson wrote. “To say that the faculty and staff of the school were to act in a prescribed manner in responding to an emergency situation would likewise be illogical and

By Edmund H. Mahony The Hartford Courant

The parents of two first graders who died with 24 others during a 2012 mass shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown asked a state appeals court on Wednesday to reinstate a lawsuit in which they claim the town’s failure to train staff and follow pre-arranged safety measures was responsible for the tragedy. Superior Court Judge Robin Wilson dismissed the suit a year ago, concluding that the town and its employees are immune from such negligence claims. Pointed questions to the parents’ lawyers at the state Appellate Court Wednesday suggest the judges have similar doubts about the suit’s validity. The parents of Jesse Lewis and Noah Pozner argued that the town and school board were negligent because they failed to respond to the attack by immediately putting into effect pre-arranged emergency response plans in the five minutes during which Adam Lanza shot his way into the school, killed 26 people and then killed himself. The suit contends the school staff — four members who were shot to death within minutes — had no authority to exercise discretion in their response to the attack. In fact, the parent’s lawyers argue that two school

in direct contradiction to the very purpose of governmental immunity: allowing for the exercise of judgement without the fear of second guessing.” Appeals Judge Nina F. Elgo, asking for clarification from parents’ lawyer Devin W. Janosov, asserted that emergency safety protocols are meant to be discretionary. “Isn’t it inherent in the definition of guidelines that discretion be allowed?” Elgo asked. Appellate Judge Thomas Bishop suggested in a series of questions that the suit may have larger problems. Bishop said the suit names Newtown and the town Board of Education as defendants, but directs no specific allegations of negligence against either. Rather, Bishop said suit appears to direct its criticism against the school staff whose relationship to the town as agents of government is not specifically defined. Parent lawyer Donald Papcsy said after the hearing that the suit’s allegations are solidly constructed. The parents said the town and its board of education were negligent in a variety of ways, many of which appear to have occurred long before the attack. Among other things, they said the town should have better trained teachers and substitutes, should have installed classroom doors that locked from the inside and should have removed or reinforced a win-

dow that Lanza shot out with a high-powered assault rifle to gain access to the building. Once Lanza was in the building and presented an imminent threat by indiscriminately killing people, the suit claimed the staff were no longer allowed to exercise discretion. Had the staff strictly followed town emergency protocols — like looking doors and hustling children into bathrooms — the suit implies carnage would have

been prevented or reduced. “The details and proscriptions of this plan left no discretion to the teachers or other employees and were to be followed as outlined for the safety of the children at Sandy Hook Elementary School, by mandate of the Board, the Town and Sandy Hook Elementary School,” the suit asserts.

Loughlin could use ‘parenting on steroids’ as defense in scandal By Richard Winton & Hannah Fry Los Angeles Times

Lori Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer J. Mossimo Giannulli, are vowing to fight charges accusing them of participating in an elaborate fraud to get their children into college. Their attorneys have not revealed much about their legal strategy. But as more parents file court papers, one argument is coming into focus: They were just trying to help their kids and were manipulated into criminal activity. That is far from a bulletproof defense, given the wiretapped records and payments prosecutors have outlined in court papers. But some legal experts say it’s a start. “These are parents trying to help their kids. Yes, it is parenting on steroids,” said Lara Yeretsian, a criminal defense attorney who was part of the legal team for both Scott Peterson and Michael Jackson. Loughlin and Giannulli are accused of paying $500,000 to have their two daughters admitted to the University of Southern California as crew recruits. Though neither is a rower, the parents saw being a coxswain as their daughters’ ticket into the private college, according to an affidavit filed in federal court. USC’s admissions rate is 13%. They began discussing the plot with William “Rick” Singer in April 2016 after they met with the college counselor of their older daughter, Isabella, according to the affidavit. “I’d like to maybe sit with you after your session with the girls as I have some concerns and want to fully understand the game plan and make sure we have a roadmap for success as it relates to (our daughter) and getting her into a school other than ASU!” Giannulli allegedly wrote to Singer. Singer told the couple that Isabella’s academic qualifications were “at or just below the low end of USC’s admission,” according to the affidavit. Authorities allege the couple agreed to take advantage of what Singer called his “side door” into the university by bribing USC senior associate athletic director Donna Heinel to designate their daughter as an athletic recruit on the crew team. Heinel is also charged in the scheme and has pleaded not guilty. The money that authorities say eventually made its way to college coaches involved in the scam was funneled through Singer’s charity, whose stated

mission was to help “underprivileged students.” This allowed some of the parents to write off the bribes as donations on their taxes, authorities said. After their older daughter’s admission was secured, they repeated the scam in 2017 with their younger daughter, Olivia Jade, authorities allege. Singer allegedly told the couple he would present their daughter as a crew coxswain for the L.A. Marina Club team and requested they send an “action picture.” The couple sent him a photo of Olivia Jade rowing on a machine, according to the affidavit. Yeretsian said the couple’s lawyers could play on the fact that Singer masterminded the scheme, that they were introduced to him as a college consultant and that, as an expert, he was persuasive. He was the villain here, they could argue. “The key will be explaining the $500,000,” she said. That’s 10 times more than actress Felicity Huffman allegedly paid Singer. Huffman has agreed to plead guilty. The couple’s lawyers could paint Singer as the bad guy, luring the innocent, good-hearted parents into a world of bribes, Yeretsian said. Whether that strategy would work in court is an open

question, depending in part on how the jury and judge see the evidence and the actions of the parents. Whether they ultimately risk it, she said, and move to trial may depend on whether prosecutors try to go after their children. So far, prosecutors have placed no clear evidence in the record that either child knew what their parents were doing. But prosecutors allege they posed for pictures of them rowing that helped with their entrance to college.

“I am ashamed of the pain I have caused my daughter, my family, my friends, my colleagues and the educational community. My daughter knew absolutely nothing about my actions, and in my misguided and profoundly wrong way, I have betrayed her.” FELICITY HUFFMAN ACTRESS

In announcing she would plead guilty, Huffman took

pains to make clear her daughter didn’t know. “I am ashamed of the pain I have caused my daughter, my family, my friends, my colleagues and the educational community,” she said in a statement. “My daughter knew absolutely nothing about my actions, and in my misguided and profoundly wrong way, I have betrayed her.” Davina Isackson and Bruce Isackson, the president of a Bay Area real estate firm, were accused of paying a college admissions consultant $600,000 to get one daughter into UCLA and another into USC through bribes and other deceitful acts, court records show. They also pleaded guilty and expressed remorse for their misdeeds as parents. “No words can express how profoundly sorry we are for what we have done. Our duty as parents was to set a good example for our children, and instead we have harmed and embarrassed them by our misguided decisions,” they said in a joint statement. “We have worked cooperatively with the prosecutors and will continue to do so as we take full responsibility for our bad judgment.” While Huffman and a dozen other parents agreed to admit their guilt in the far-reaching scandal, many of the 16 other

parents named in the scam are mounting their legal defense. A Palo Alto couple accused of paying $25,000 to rig their son’s college entrance exam asked a federal judge this week to dismiss the indictment against them, claiming there was no conspiracy among the parents entangled in the college admissions scandal. Their defense attorney, David S. Schumacher, argued in the motion that even if it were true that his clients paid a test proctor to correct their son’s SAT exam, as authorities have alleged, they did not act in concert with other parents. In that case, Schumacher said, prosecutors don’t have the legal ground to support the conspiracy charge. Bill McGlashan, the former managing partner of San Francisco-based TPG Growth, is fighting allegations he discussed a $200,000 bribe with an athletic administrator to get his son into USC. His attorneys argued that their client differed from 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. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

COLLEGIAN COLUMNIST

Facts don’t always yield objective truths @ethan_vassar

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by The Collegian or its editorial board. The phrase “fact of the matter” is used to emphasize an apparent, ultimate truth of an issue. Many politicians will use the phrase “veraciously” to signal the legitimacy of their argument and convince others that it is the only correct viewpoint on an issue. However, there is never just one truth on any given subject. Furthermore — and despite America’s lengthy infatuation with the two-party system — there are more than just two derivative truths. There may be two sides to a coin, but no issue can be viewed in such simplistic terms. There are facts, figures and data to support a multitude of differing stances on a given issue, so there is not just one fact of a matter, but several. There is one world, but more than seven billion different interpretations of it, thus every human experiences the world differently. Similarly, there is not one Colorado State University, but tens of thousands of interpretations of it. Students, professors and staff all experience life at the university differently. Within each of these groups, there exist more contrast between students and professors from all nine colleges at CSU. This vari-

ety spawns facts to support any argument. The argument over Greek life is one example in the collegiate environment. Facts exist to support the argument that fraternities and sororities are beneficial to their colleges and the community. According to the most recent National Panhellenic Council report, sorority women across the country logged in two-and-a-half million hours of community service and raised almost $13 million for philanthropic purposes. The Sigma Chi fraternity has pledged to donate $10 million to cancer research by 2022.

“It is important to be objective and realize that facts can be found to support any argument and justify any opinion.” These facts show that Greek life is helpful — but surprise! — there are also facts that support a different argument. The claim that Greek life is damaging to communities is supported by various instances of misconduct. The Sigma Chi chapter at CSU was cited for an alcohol violation and aiding and abetting in 2012, resulting in probation and another investigation in 2016. To the cancer patient who received exceptional care from Sigma Chi’s donation, Greek life may have saved their life. To the guy who was hazed, Greek life may have ruined his life. It is important to note that assuming Greek life is only ei-

NOPE

ther beneficial or detrimental is a false dilemma. Those who went to small colleges without Brads and Beckys may be indifferent on the matter. Some may see Greek life as admirable, considering the rich history many fraternities and sororities have. Greek life can be defined with many adjectives, but America’s compulsion to make issues black and white creates a distorted polarization as it does with so many issues. Therefore, being objective is important in today’s world. Ben Shapiro, author, commentator and reluctant face of the “owning the libs” meme, has famously said: “Facts don’t care about your feelings.” Expanding upon Shapiro’s catchphrase, it is our feelings about the facts that inform our opinions on issues. We all want to have our opinions validated and seek facts that make us feel that they are. Thanks to the internet, it’s easier than ever to be exposed only to the same types of content that support our feelings on an issue. But the real world doesn’t have algorithms that show us only what we’re comfortable with. It is important to be objective and realize that facts can be found to support any argument and justify any opinion. Does this mean you should research every angle of an issue and read every dissertation pertaining to it before forming an opinion? No, but it does mean be objective and keep an open mind because no matter how strongly you feel about something, there is some data out there to prove you wrong and prove another argument right.

Dieting is not a long-term solution for unhealthy behavior Madison Thompson @madisongoeswest

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. No one can escape the constant advertisements that jump from unhealthy fast food slogans to diet plans. However, most of these diets are merely short-term fixes for a long-term problem. Dieting is an unsustainable way to maintain your health, something that many members of society fail to realize. If you truly want to be healthy, it’s a lifetime commitment. It takes the conscious decision to recognize that even though something is edible, and tastes amazing, doesn’t mean you should consider it “food.” All of the most popular diets — Paleo, Atkins, South Beach, Jenny Craig — imply that all things edible are admissible as long as you occasionally restrict yourself from them. Diet companies and diet culture want you to bounce back and forth between lifestyles which is an unsustainable behavior.

Your bi-monthly juice cleanse isn’t going to make a difference if your daily choices over time are unhealthy. The weight loss industry has permeated popular culture and become a $68.2 billion industry. In fact, the same companies that are pushing unhealthy foods are the ones trying to sell diet plans and weight loss supplements. From 2006 to 2013, Nestle owned Jenny Craig, a popular weightloss program.

“If you truly want to be healthy, it’s a lifetime commitment. It takes the conscious decision to recognize that even though something is edible, and tastes amazing, doesn’t mean you should consider it ‘food.’” Evidently, some foods are better for you than others. Having a donut every once in awhile won’t kill you, but there is a fine line between making a long-term commitment and the quick fix that dieting emphasizes. It’s all about finding a bal-

ance that works for you. Pay attention to your body and how it responds to the food you eat. The ketogenic diet, also known as keto, is one of the latest trend in diet culture. Unlike most diets, it focuses on fueling your body with fat by putting your body in a state of ketosis, as opposed to adding protein. Ketosis occurs when people eat a low- or no-carb diet and molecules called ketones build up in their bloodstream. It should be noted that ketosis is a mild form of ketoacidosis, which mostly affects people with Type 1 Diabetes. Shockingly, it is the leading cause of death for people with Type 1 Diabetes who are under 24 years old. Keto encourages cooking with saturated fat like palm oil, lard and butter, and doesn’t typically discriminate between lean protein foods and protein sources high in saturated fat such as beef, pork and bacon. The diet forces the body to burn stored fats instead of carbs, resulting in quick weight loss. Out of the numerous risks associated with Keto, the high consumption of saturated fats tops the list. The Keto diet is associated with high levels of bad cholesterol. Other noted risks include nutrient deficiency, liver and kidney problems, constipation, fuzzy thinking and

mood swings. Technicalities aside, this diet was never intended for a long-term commitment. In fact, it’s primary function is to reduce the frequency of epileptic seizures in children. The rise of fad diets like Keto and diet culture are a result of food companies saturating the market with unhealthy choices. There are a lot of temptations on grocery store shelves and even here on campus (looking at you, Cam’s Lobby Shop).

EDITORIAL CARTOON BY RYAN GREENE COLLEGIAN

In his book “In Defense of Food,” Michael Pollan, a food journalist and anthropologist, says it best: “Eat real food. Not a lot. Mostly plants.” It’s true that not everyone has the same privilege to make conscious choices about their food consumption, but if you do, it’s something that needs to be done consistently until it becomes second nature.

TRACK & FIELD

Sant, Dawson add to track & field’s fourth-straight weekly awards By Sergio Santistevan @TheRealsSergio

Another week, another Mountain West award won by the Colorado State track and field team. This week, senior Marybeth Sant and freshman Adam Dawson joined the list of Rams to earn athlete of the week recognitions. With this week’s honors, the track and field team has now earned four Mountain West weekly awards in all four weeks of the outdoor season. Sant and Dawson were exceptional at last week’s Doug Max Invitational, which led to their respective awards. In the 100 meters, Sant recorded a collegiate-best 11.56. Sant’s time was the third-fastest time in University history at that event. Her overall altitude adjusted time ranks fourth overall in the conference this season. Sant’s day wasn’t done though, as she ran the first leg of the 4x100 relay that recorded a school record for the second week in a row. CSU’s relay team ranks first in the conference and 18 in the nation. As one award went to a senior, the other went to a freshman. Dawson won the men’s discus competition with a personal-best record of 183-6 (55.93m). Dawson’s throw ranks 11 all-time on CSU’s list, first in the Mountain West and 28 in the NCAA this season. Dawson keeps racking up awards in his first outdoor season as this is his second weekly award in the last three weeks. CSU will try and keep the awards coming as they head to Southern California this week for several meets. Sergio Santistevan can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

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.

Malone’s ‘love’ for players took Denver to first playoff win since 2013 By TJ McBride Mile High Sports

When looking at the box score from the Denver Nuggets 114-105 Game 2 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, it seems tough to choose a Most Valuable Player. Yes, Nikola Jokic flirted with a triple-double as he accumulated 21 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists. Yes, Gary Harris was a steady contributor as he racked up 23 points on just 16 shots. Yes, Paul Millsap finished with 20 points as he carried Denver through their rough patches. Yes, Jamal Murray had 21 fourth-quarter points and saved the day — and potentially the season — for Denver. On Tuesday night, Denver’s true M.V.P. did not register one single minute of playing time, score a point, grab a rebound, or set up a teammate for a bucket because Denver’s M.V.P. was coaching on the sidelines. Yes, you read that correctly. There was no one more valuable than Nuggets head coach Michael Malone on Tuesday night when the Nuggets and Spurs battled in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. I know this may sound crazy, but stick with me here. Let’s start at the most obvious spot — the end. It did not matter what Murray did; seemingly every shot that he put up missed its mark for the first seven quarters of his playoff career. When combining his rough Game 1 numbers with his production in the first three quarters of Game 2, Murray shot 8-of-32 from the field with a multitude of missed shots that were wide open. It was bewildering to watch such a talented shooter and scorer like Murray fail to connect on so many great looks and it was clear that his shooting struggles began to deeply frustrate him. “He was so frustrated at halftime and not making shots; shots he has made his entire career,” Malone explained when reflecting on Murray’s fourth-quarter performance in Game 2. “I just grabbed him and said, ‘listen, take a deep breath. You are putting so much pressure on yourself. Every shot right now is like the end of the world. I believe in you. I love you. Just go out there and play.” In the first three quarters of Game 2, Murray had failed to connect on all eight of his shot attempts and he had only three points. To make matters worse, this came after his highly-criticized 8-of-24 shooting performance in Game 1. Murray’s play got so bad that some incredibly dumb writer even stated that it would be better if Malone did not play Murray for the rest of the game. Well, thankfully Malone thought differently and never once even considered pulling Murray from the game despite his struggles. “I had to stay with Jamal —

make or miss — because he is our guy and I care about him,” Malone stated without hesitation when talking about how he was never going to sit Murray down for the rest of the game after three bad quarters. “He came through in a big way, but never once did I think about pulling him from the lineup. “I was going with him. He needs this. This is so important for all of our guys, but especially for Jamal. A young player, third year, and even though he is out there struggling, he is trying to play the right way. I did not foresee the fourth quarter he was going to have, but I knew in my heart he needed to get these minutes. He needed to be out there and I needed to show him that I believe in him. That is powerful.” Powerful was right. Once the fourth quarter arrived, everything changed for the young Canadian gunner. “For him to go out there and get 24 points — 22 in the second half, and I am not sure how many of those came in the fourth quarter — was great for him to have some success after game one and after that first half,” Malone said. “I am really happy for Jamal for him stepping up and basically close the game out with the shot making that he had down the stretch.” In that now infamous fourth quarter, Murray flipped a switch and went from white-walker cold to dragon-fire hot in an instant. He hit eight of his nine attempted shots, including two of his three 3-pointers, which added up to an absurd 21 points in 12 minutes to go with two assists and an incredibly important defensive rebound to secure the win. “I took a good look around at where I was at and how far I had come and I started believing in myself,” Murray said in an almost poetic tone when reflecting on his outlandish fourth quarter. Still, the question begging to be asked is what on earth allowed Murray to get so hot so quick after playing some of the worst basketball of his career? Well, this is where the Nuggets’ M.V.P. of Game 2 comes into the picture. “(Malone) told me, at the end of the third (quarter), just to go out there and hoop,” Murray explained when asked what allowed him to flip that switch in the fourth quarter. “He told me that he believes in me and cares about me and wants to see me succeed. He told me to stick with it. “My teammates — (Harris), (Malone), (Millsap) — everyone told me to stick with it. I don’t think I scored a field goal until the fourth, but I stuck with it because they believed in me. That got me going.” One of the most overlooked skills of a head coach is the ability to connect with their players and very few coaches care or — in Malone’s own words — love their players like Malone does. The idea of a team being a family is not a cliche to him; it

is a prerequisite to greatness. That particular ideology has been a catalyst for the Nuggets. Without the trust, support, and love that Malone consistently cultivates on a day-to-day basis, the support Murray needed to bounce back would not have existed. But because of this Nuggets’ family that Malone has helped build and strengthen, Murray was able to bounce back from an awful start and essentially save Denver’s 201819 season with an unforgettable fourth-quarter performance. “He is still human,” Malone pointed out after Denver’s gutsy win. “Having the type of failure that he was having — 6-of-24 in the first game, did not make a shot in the first half, Derrick White is playing well — that is a lot to hold onto. That is why I just wanted to help him just breath and let it out. ‘It is okay; you have to let all of that go and think about the next play and the next quarter’. He went out there and did a great job. “He is a mentally tough kid, but he is young. It is his third year in the NBA with a lot of expectations for that young man. Anything I can do to help alleviate that, I will because I care about him that much.” Malone’s postgame press conference after his team dramatically defeated the Spurs in comeback fashion was an emotional one. It was evident that this win meant a little bit more to Malone than others and it’s hard to avoid inferring that it may have something to do with his relationship with Murray. These two are basketball lifers at their core, share the same obsessive work ethic, and both value winning above all else. That is why Malone was one of the first people that Murray thought of when reflecting on his incredible fourth quarter because, simply stated, Murray would have never been in that position without his head coach. “He always has my back all season and ever since I have been here,” Murray stated. “It was good to go out there and see him with a smile on his face.” Malone’s love and support is not singular. He spreads those two gifts as often and as wide as he can which means that every single member of the Nuggets organization — from ownership down to the equipment staff — feels as if they are a member of this fraternity that is the Denver Nuggets franchise. That is why, when there was 5:45 remaining in the third quarter, Malone called a timeout with his team trailing 73-57. His goal was not to berate his team and get on them for their uninspired play to begin the second half. He instead used that time to remind his team that they have every opportunity in the world to fight back, but only if they chose to do so. “There was a timeout midway through the third quarter — I

thought it was a pivotal point in the game — and we are down by 16 points and I can see it on some guys faces. ‘Which was is this game going to go?’” Malone explained. “I reminded them that we had 18 minutes to go. I reminded them of what the Clippers did last night and how much basketball was left, but [the comeback] will only happen if we believe, we commit, we fight, and we attack. Guys took that to heart.” The Nuggets are the eighth-youngest playoff team in NBA history this year. Because of that, they desperately need a captain that can steer the plane for them; especially when the turbulence gets intense. Malone has not only willingly become that captain, but he has ran with the role and has grown within it. Now, Malone’s self-awareness as a head coach is at an all-time high and he knows exactly which buttons need to be pressed and he does so at precisely the correct time. That is why when the Nuggets found themselves down 16 points with just 18 minutes of regulation remaining, he knew that he had to be the calm presence that settled down his youthful team. “The game is quickly going away, they are in a comfort zone, we are a little nervous and shook — we have a lot of young guys — and whether it is right or wrong, a lot of the guys; they look to me,” Malone explained without a hint of ego in his voice. “After a good play or after a bad play, they look to me. So I want them to look at me and say, ‘okay, you know what? Coach is with us and he is fighting. We have to start fighting for ourselves’. We did that.” While steadiness and staying calm was one message that Malone sent to his team, the other was to attack and to attack relentlessly. The Spurs were hitting first and hitting often. If the Nuggets did not find a way to metaphorically stand back up and fight, they were going to lose a second-straight playoff game at home and would be heading to San Antonio — where they have lost 13-straight games — in a 0-2 hole. Essentially, their season would

be over with a loss in Game 2. Well, despite the odds, the Nuggets fought back and it was largely because their head coach was willing to do so as well. “I am trying to tell them that I am ready to fight,” Malone explained. “At that point in time, I did not sense that we were fighting. They took their game to another level and I did not think that we matched it and the game was running away from us. “That was all I was thinking about. I got to show these guys that I am here with them. I am in the foxhole with them.” That belief and complete willingness to fight for his team struck a cord with the second-seeded Nuggets. With the trust and belief that is built into the fabric of this Nuggets team, they always have an advantage because they are no longer playing for themselves; they are playing for each other. “Coach believes in us,” Harris said after the win. “We have all been through a lot. We have all kind of grown up together and we are all doing this together. “It has been fun. Coach is out there giving it his all. He is coaching to the best of his ability and we are going out there and playing as hard as we can for him.” From the 5:45 mark of the third quarter — when Malone originally called that timeout to rally his troops — until the end of the game, Denver went on 57-to-32 run against the Spurs which gave them their 114-to-105 comeback victory. Additionally, Denver not only won Game 2, but also stole back a large portion of series-swinging momentum. Still, despite all of the positives of the final 18 minutes of the Nuggets miraculous win against the Spurs, the Nuggets M.V.P. of Game 2 had one last bit of advice. “We did not get too low after game one and we are not getting too high after game two,” Malone said. “There is a lot of work and a lot of games to be played.” Content pulled from Mile High Sports.

COLORADO ROCKIES

Nolan Arenado is heating up at just the right time for Rockies By Aniello Piro Mile High Sports

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado started the season in the gutters at the plate. Through the first couple weeks of the season, Arenado’s swings were off and he was generating a bevy of outs in key situations. The early season struggles were frustrating for Arenado; however, he has figured things out in the batter’s box and currently has the Rockies on a three-game winning streak. Last year, Arenado hit .310 in the opening month of the season, a significant difference from the .264 batting average he has posted so far in 2019. While he has struggled out of the gate in 2019, his performance improved significantly on the Rockies’ sixgame road trip. The four-time All-Star has hit a home run in each of the Rockies last three games, including a tworun blast on his 28th birthday in the Rockies victory versus the San Diego Padres. It was the first time in his career Arenado hit a home run on his birthday and the fifth time he has hit a home run in three or more consecutive games. “(The home runs) are awesome,” Arenado said. “I felt really good. I was just trying to have

good at-bat’s today. It’s nice to come out with a win, a couple of knocks and a couple of RBI’s.” Arenado’s home run Tuesday night was the 189th of his career and surpassed Troy Tulowitzki for the sixth most in franchise history. It also represented the first runs the Rockies have scored in the first inning this season.

“(The home runs) are awesome, I felt really good. I was just trying to have good at-bat’s today. It’s nice to come out with a win, a couple of knocks and a couple of RBI’s.” NOLAN ARENADO COLORADO ROCKIES THIRD BASEMAN

Arenado endured the longest home run drought to start a season of his career this year; however, since hitting the first one, he has been dialed in at the plate and the rest of the Rockies’ hitters have followed. The Rockies have scored 17 runs over their last three games, the most runs they have scored in

any three-game stretch so far this season. Additionally, Colorado has done a better job of stringing hits together, producing 25 over the last trio of games. It appears as if the Rockies offense goes as Arenado does. The Rockies are 114-59 in games which Arenado hits a home run, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, a testament to just how vital he is to the Rockies offense. “We lost the first three games and then we won the last three,” Arenado said. “To be able to say we split the road trip is not bad. You go home feeling good whenever you split a road trip. Obviously, you want to win them, but a split is not a bad thing.” Winners of three straight, including the first series win of the year, the Rockies are off Wednesday before beginning a critical seven-game homestand Thursday versus the Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals. The Rockies are winless at 20th and Blake this season and will need to continue to produce at the dish should they want to change that with Bryce Harper coming to town. Arenado is getting hot at the perfect time for the Rockies and it is essential that he continues to lead the way for the club. Content pulled from Mile High Sports.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital collaborates with CSU’s campus By Maddie Wright @maddierwright

Organizations who need volunteers and donations often come to college campuses to get those resources. A handful turn to fraternity and sorority life to seek aid and assistance. With this connection, Delta Delta Delta seems to be doing something right with helping St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. St. Jude is a pediatric center for treatment and research focusing on children’s “catastrophic diseases” according to their website. Delta Delta Delta, or Tri Delta, is a national sorority with a chapter at Colorado State University. These two organizations have been linked since 1999, though Tri Delta has supported children’s cancer charities since the ‘70s. Throughout the year they fundraise money through events for St. Jude.

“It originated in California, and it was just a local children’s hospital, but then what happened is we ended up where it’s a nationwide thing and we ended up partnering up with St. Jude, which was 20 years ago in 1999 which is super cool.” BREANNA FORTIER PHILANTHROPY CHAIR FOR TRI DELTA

“It originated in California, and it was just a local children’s hospital, but then what happened is we ended up where it’s a nationwide thing and we ended up partnering up with St. Jude, which was 20 years ago in 1999 which is super cool,” said Breanna Fortier, the philanthropy chair for Tri Delta. “And we’ve raised a lot of money since, like one of our biggest commitments was

in 2014 we were like, ‘Oh we’re going to raise $60 million in ten years,’ in like three and a half years, by the end of 2018, we had raised more that half of that.” Earlier this month, on April 3, Tri Delta put on their annual Delta House of Pancakes event, where they open up their house for people to come in, eat pancakes, take some Instagram ready photos and even tour the house if they wish. All the money they raise goes to St. Jude. “My favorite part is just opening up our house to peo-

ple, being able to share how much we actually do as an organization,” said Demi Ball, the Tri Delta chapter president. Events like this also allow opportunities for education about St. Jude and the work that the organization does. “Since there’s not so much happening at once, it gives us a better environment to talk more to people and educate them more on St. Jude as a whole,” Fortier said. Outside of Tri Delta, other CSU students participate in events to raise money for St. Jude. One of these events is Up

‘til Dawn, a student-led program where teams of 6 have to raise $600 in order to gain entry to the event. According to Julie Hess, the development specialist for St. Jude, Up ‘til Dawn is a program that happens across the nation and raises a lot of money for the hospital. The Up ‘til Dawn program is currently looking for people to apply for their executive board to help lead this fundraiser on college campuses. According to Hess, Tri Delta is one of the organizations that raises the most amount of money for St. Jude. Six years

after they were officially connected with St. Jude, $1 million had been raised. In 2014, St. Jude opened “Tri Delta Place,” a short-term housing development for family of hospitalized children in St. Jude. This is funded through Tri Delta fundraising events. “(Tri Delta Place) is temporary housing on St. Jude’s campus, so that’s a really cute thing that we have. So, when there’s patients in there, their families can stay there on the campus with them,” Fortier said. Maddie Wright can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

MUSIC

PUP’s ‘Morbid Stuff’ shows band as heavier, angrier than ever before By Joel Thompson @probably_joel

With their third album “Morbid Stuff,” Canadian poppunk band PUP solidifies themselves as a powerhouse of punk, signaling a mainstay amongst relevancy. On previous albums, PUP showed the rawness, aggression and vulnerability that makes their music such a cathartic experience. This time, they improve all aspects of their sound while also experimenting with genre-bending and more deliberate songwriting.

“PUP has always had moments of vulnerability in their previous works, but the vulnerability on this album is subtle yet aggressive.” PUP shows an interest in expanding, or at least exploring, the possibilities of their sound through metal, hardcore and emo influences. One of the tracks, “Scorpion Hill,” starts off reminiscent of an old country ballad, but then develops into a hybrid between the band’s normal thrash-punk style and the country style they experiment with. The way “Scorpion Hill” plays with its influences is similar to most of the songs on this album. Usually their songs will start off completely inspired by another genre, but eventually, they progress into a combination of the genre and the band’s typical style. It’s interesting to see where PUP takes each these influences, such as on the metal-infused track “Full Blown Meltdown.” Everything in this song works to make your bones chill and your body scream. The bass is the most evocative of the metal influences, but lead singer Stefan Babcock’s gut-wrenching screams do well in serving the high octane nature of the song. However, as the song goes

on, the metal influences seem to fade away, or only remain a background element of the song. The fade of experimentation tends to be the main issue on “Morbid Stuff.” PUP is comfortable in their normal sound and it’s clearly apparent. While PUP’s typical style is execution to near perfection, their explorations with other genres tend to be the most interesting aspects to this album. Even though constant experimentation is one of the best parts of this album, it tends to leave each of the songs feeling disjointed from the others. Despite a disjointed feeling, nearly every song on this album stands out on its own. There is never a boring or lackluster section. This is partly due to the speed at which PUP plays, how often they bring in a new element or hook you in with their excellent songwriting. The lyrical content of this album stands far above most other pop-punk albums that have come out in recent years, and it’s due to a reliance on realism. The album isn’t realistic in the sense that all the songs are about specific events or people, but realistic in how emotional hardships and mental health are displayed. PUP has always had moments of vulnerability in their previous works, but the vulnerability on this album is subtle yet aggressive. “Morbid Stuff” is an album that gets better with each listen, and it opens itself up if you stay dedicated to it for a few days. The subtle layers each song has and the complex progressions most of them share do well to keep the audience entranced in the album, often leading to multiple listens without realization. The only thing this 11-track album needs is another song or two.

Is Lil Nas X’s ‘Old Town Road’ country? By the Arts & Culture desk @CSUCollegian

In recent weeks, rapper, Lil Nas X has seen massive success with his country-trap fusion, “Old Town Road.” However, Billboard recently decided to remove the song from its country charts, though they are reconsidering this decision. This created a reaction that propelled the already popular single to new heights. Henry Netherland I believe “Old Town Road” should be allowed on the country charts. I’ve heard some arguments saying because of the increased bass prominence

and the more complex rhythm structures it ventures more into hip-hop territory. I still feel the basic instrumental and vocal constructs are sufficient enough to be classified as country.

“‘Old Town Road’ f*cking slaps. The only reason that Billboard took it off the country music charts is because country music can’t handle it.” LYRA WILEY

Elena Waldman Country-trap is relatively new. Young Thug pioneered the genre with his 2017 album “Beautiful Thugger Girls.” Because it’s still in its formative years, it’s likely we won’t see many rappers on the country

charts for a while. However, the fusion of hip-hop and country music has been happening for a few years now, particularly with artists such as Florida Georgia Line and Jason Aldean. If these artists can take inspiration from hip-hop and still be considered “country” artists, then rappers should be able to do the same. However, we aren’t seeing the country artists aforementioned on the rap charts either, so perhaps this is because the country-trap genre hasn’t yet made its way into mainstream music. Maddie Wright Here’s the deal. The debate of “country enough” or whatever fights against the idea of the ideal music world I am trying to live in. If there are elements of country in a song, which there were in “Old Town Road,” it can be on the Billboard country chart or on your country playlist. Defining music genres as what is and what isn’t stops this potential for a musically open world I’m trying

to live in. Dom Brazeau I don’t think that “Old Town Road” should be on the country charts. The song itself is clearly a rap song based on the way the song is put together beat wise. The only thing that makes it county is the subject matter. Many other artists have done similar styles and have not been put on the country chart such as Young Thug’s 2017 album, “Beautiful Thugger Girls,” which he described as a country album. Lyra Wiley “Old Town Road” f*cking slaps. The only reason that Billboard took it off the country charts is because country music can’t handle it. Can’t handle the heat radiating from Billy Ray Cyrus? Get out of the kitchen. I can’t wait to hear this song in Bondi, Australia. It goes hard. But yeah, no. Totally not country music. The only things reminiscent of country music in this song are the horses in the back

and Cyrus’ voice. Joel Thompson Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” is lyrically and thematically a country song. The only things that would keep it from this category are the fact that Lil Nas X is a rapper and the beat is very rhythmic. I think that the song getting removed from the country charts is absurd. The removal only serves to cement the fact that artists get punished for experimenting and exploring different styles within their music. The rap/hip-hop genre is still looked down upon by other genres and is criticized for experimenting with different genres, as is the case with emo rap. I will leave you with a question: If a country star set out to make a rap song with country music influences, would their song get removed by the rap charts? My answer is probably not.

BTS chase their own tail on ‘Map of the Soul: Persona’ By Henry Netherland @NetherlandHenry

For a few years now, the seven-person K-pop boyband BTS has dominated the world’s intake of Korean pop music, breaking numerous music sales records with every new release. The group is hard to pigeonhole genre-wise, since they take on so many different styles simultaneously, blending them with an unimaginable smoothness. Since 2014, they’ve released a slew of projects ranging from extended plays to full-length

albums, each coming with its own theme. Their new EP, “Map of the Soul: Persona” touches mostly on self-realization. Sober listening: “Intro: Persona” is actually an electric opener with an instrumental that sounds straight out of a rap-rock song from the early 2000s, but with more contemporary complexity in the beat in terms of rhythm and sampling. The song is rapped as a solo by RM, the band’s leader. RM’s rapping is fiery and confident, unlike other tracks on here which can come across as more goofy than impressive. The attempts at integrating English phrases into their lyrics seamlessly can be hit or miss due to the language barrier. Most of the time the subtle mistranslations can be ignored, but there are some moments that are unignorable. “Boy with Luv” with Halsey was a song I was initially excit-

ed for. While I’m not the biggest Halsey fan, I still felt she could add a peppy, feminine perspective to the group’s dynamic, which she does. However, she’s mostly thrown into the backend of the chorus. I didn’t even notice her presence until at least three listens in. The rest of the song is okay, but nothing remarkable in the group’s overall discography. On the chorus of “Mikrokosmos,” it feels like the chords and rhythm of an indie pop song, but with a much more electronic instrumental. It’s listenable, but kind of forgettable. “Home” is the only song that I felt was truly stellar in the entire tracklist. It’s a high energy R&B influenced electropop cut with lovesick melodies and boyish singing. The instrumental sounds like a whirlwind of bliss. In contrast with the other songs, it’s incredibly vibrant and colorful. It’s the only song

that’s truly emblematic of the bright and beautiful cover art. One smoke session later … “Make It Right” is decent, but it shares the same melody on the climax of the chorus as “Euphoria,” a song from a previous album, only with a much hollower instrumental follow-up. It also reminds me a bit of “Boy With Luv,” but not to a point where it feels like a ripoff. Other than that, there’s not a lot that really stands out to me. I’ve listened to it several times and I still have no idea what to make heads or tails of the closing track, “Dionysus.” It opens with what almost sounds like the opening song of a buddy-cop movie from the ‘80s, but then it immediately transitions into an auto-tuned abomination. Even when I’m not wowed by most K-pop tracks, I can at least appreciate how well the multiple styles can be blended together. But on this track, they just sound

like a directionless mess with uncoordinated layering and clunky transitions. Unfortunately, from this project, I came away pretty disappointed at the group’s progression. Looking at the album cover for “Persona,” I was expecting a compilation of blissful, sugary K-pop tunes, but instead what came out was a mixed-bag of the group’s usual schtick.

IN CONCLUSION ■ Overall: 5/10 ■ Favorite songs: “HOME”, “Boy

With Luv” and “Intro : Persona”

■ Least favorite song: “Dionysus”
