Students petition ASCSU to aid food insecurity By Charlotte Lang @ChartrickWrites

agement system, and our experience is that this is the rarest use of the analytics tool by faculty.” Faculty use the data in the dashboard to see how the entire class is performing, Burns said. Data from that can be used to adjust the content the instructor provides, the pace of delivery and the style of delivery.

After the Associated Students of Colorado State University discovered $800,000 in their budget, a group of social work students saw their chance to help with food insecurity. Alexis Kilgore, Arianna Pike, Amy Sumerfield, Taylor Lofgren and Joshua Segura are five social work majors currently working to petition ASCSU to fund the University’s meal swipe program for students facing food insecurity. Pike said the conversation began as a social action project in one of their classes, where the group started discussing food insecure students and the community in the University, as well as what food insecurity looks like on campus. “We began talking about certain aspects of how we can combat it,” Pike said. “When we were thinking about petition and education of the problem on campus, we found the newspaper that said ASCSU has rollover of $800,000. We were like, ‘Boom, that’s it. We’re gonna work on that.’” Pike said the goal is to reallocate some of that money to help the programs on campus. Of the Rams Against Hunger programs, meal swipes are the primary priority. Currently, there are 279 students on the waitlist for the University’s meal swipe program. Since it costs $600 per student, it would cost $180,000 to help all the students on the waitlist, Pike said.

Canvas analytics of students used for class, research By Charlotte Lang @ChartrickWrites

Canvas does more than let students view assignments and announcements. According to the site’s analytics page, it also lets professors view what students do. Canvas, Colorado State University’s primary learning management system, claims to “provide course and student analytics

for instructors.” According to the analytics page, “student interactions in Canvas can show how they are performing in comparison to their peers and offers a high-level look at how course tools and materials are being used by students.” Patrick Burns, dean of libraries and vice president for IT, said that 80-85% of instructors currently use Canvas. In regard to the site’s

analytics, the Canvas instructor’s dashboard shows class activity level, assignment submissions by due date and overall grade performance. “Faculty are able to drill down to see what an individual student has done in these areas and to see if the student requires assistance,” Burns said. “But, this capability is not new. Faculty have always been able to do this in a learning man-

ASCSU discusses changes to executive job descriptions By Charlotte Lang @ChartrickWrites

Editor’s note: Jayla Hodge is the opinion editor of The Rocky Mountain Collegian. In the Associated Students of Colorado State University’s special session on Tuesday following the snow day, the Senate discussed changes to current job descriptions and passed a proposal for a bird feeder project. Job description changes President-elect Ben Amundson presented a bill discussing the establishment of the executive job descriptions to the Senate for the 2019-20 academic year. One of the primary questions regarding the bill was that of how the compensation would shift as a result of the proposed lowered work hour requirements. In his proposal, Amundson said the vice president is getting $500 more. He also said that the required hours have been reduced. “We talked to a lot of directors and deputy directors, and all of them told us that they weren’t in the office 20 hours a week — all except one,” Amundson said. “We realized that most people aren’t actually fulfilling their 20 hours.” The original requirement was

20 hours. Now, the requirement will be 15 hours. “We didn’t change the compensation,” Amundson said. “We’re just saying more realistic hours on how long they work.” Sen. Jayla Hodge asked why the compensation hasn’t changed to show the difference between this year’s and next year’s hour changes. “We actually think, on balance, this is how much a director works,” Amundson said. “So we lowered their hours but, on balance, they aren’t reaching the 20-hour mark. So we’re paying people the same amount, in our eyes, for the same amount of work even while the minimum wage is increasing.” Amundson said he’s nervous of receiving further questioning if he cuts the pay. Hodge asked why Amundson wouldn’t focus on making sure the given responsibilities match the given hours required to work. “I think that’s why we cut the hours — there aren’t enough responsibilities for them to work 20 hours a week,” Amundson said. “So, we’re saying this is more accurately reflecting the responsibilities that they have and how long they actually will work in a week.” In addition to these changes, two jobs are going to be taken out

in the next academic year, according to the bill. One of the jobs that won’t exist next year will be the controller, a position in charge of ASCSU’s financial reporting. “After some financial errors after the past several years, not the previous administration’s fault, the University decided to hire one in SLiCE who’s going to do all our accounting,” Amundson said. The second job being taken out will be the deputy director of health. “The only reason that’s being gotten rid of is that the person who had that position recommended that it doesn’t need to be taken to next year,” Amundson said. “So they said they didn’t do much work, so we’re going to get rid of it.” Other changes that were presented included the Ram Leadership team. Amundson said they’ll be adding more deputies and directors to this team in hopes of keeping freshmen interested and involved. “We think we can do freshmen well,” Amundson said. “We had roughly 100 freshmen come to the first Ram Leadership team meeting. At the third one, we had probably 10 or 15. If we can retain that better and get those students interested and get them things to

be involved with, that would be a good idea.” Amundson also spoke about plans for the Leadership, Equity, Accountability and Diversity Council next year. “We put that in the job descriptions that several people have to attend that council, because that was a promise we made during the campaign season,” Amundson said. The bill was sent to the Internal Affairs Committee. CSU Ornithology Feederwatch Project A resolution presented by Sean Washington and Nolan Bunting proposed for bird feeder sites to be set up in order for University students to take part in research about the diversity of birds on the campus. Washington said that Colorado has 507 bird species and that Fort Collins is home to around 400 of these each year. The plan is to set up roughly five bird feeders on campus in places that are far from residence halls, other buildings, high traffic areas and has a diverse bird population. According to the resolution, students will be able to sign up for a shift to watch a feeder ranging from 30-90 minutes from a Google Drive available

on the club’s website. “By looking at the overall diversity of species on campus, we can see if CSU is really keeping its promise to be a green school and help the diversity of wildlife,” Washington said. “We can also see if birds are migrating earlier or later than they usually would.” The resolution passed with a 21-0-0 vote.

This is used to enhance individual learning by the student.” Burns said this individual data has always been available in any LMS. “Canvas has no way to engage in personal surveillance of students,” Burns said. “It does collect data but this is data collected by the computer and in no way should be considered surveillance.” Kaitie Wood, an engineering major, worked as a learning as-

Petition >> from page 1 “But we’re not asking for ASCSU to take all the students off the waitlist. Even $90,000 would get half the students,” Pike said. “Really, we’d be asking for as much money as they’d be willing to allocate towards this, but it’s also knowing that our waitlist has 279 students on there, and it would cost $180,000 to get everyone off.” Kilgore said the main mission is to rally other students around the issue and gain support from students who are experiencing the problem. According to the group’s petition, three out of 10 students face food insecurity while at the University. According to the petition, “ASCSU has found hundreds of thousands in unspent student fees. Looking to provide e-bikes and unnecessary research on our walkways on campus, we challenge ASCSU to better allocate these unspent funds to a growing and problematic issue that three of 10 students deal with while attending CSU.” The petition also states that since ASCSU is the controlling entity for student fees, a simple solution would be to better fund and expand the current resources that already exist on campus, as well as educate students about programs like the mobile food bank and the Rams Against Hunger meal swipe program. “A lot of people don’t know the food insecurity on campus is as prevalent as it is,” Kilgore said. “It’s not something you can tell by looking at your peers. It’s something people experience individually, so it tends to get overlooked.”

sistant or “LA”— an undergrad TA— for BIOM 100 and 200. In this position, she had “TA view” and was able to access some of the analytics available to professors. Wood said that Canvas shows how long students spend on a page as well as the participation they have, such as clicking on a page. In this way, viewers of the analytics can distinguish if a student simply had the site open in the background or if they interacted with it. “The quick student view also pulls up how much total time a student has spent on the course page,” Wood said. “You can also see which students contacted other students in the course and at what time— although the messages are private.” Other details available to instructors are the dates on which students first opened assignments and the page views on those assignments, Wood said. “Canvas generates an insane amount of statistics for

each student and assignment on each of these metrics,” Wood said. Wood said she’d use these analytics if a student kept showing up to office hours with questions that should have been covered in posted material. “I can look in Canvas and see if they are actually attempting to understand the material on their own or just trying to finagle homework answers out of me,” Wood said. Wood also said that she knows professors mainly use these analytics when a student is on the cusp of a letter grade to see if they put in the effort and if they should bump the grade up. “I actually think that professors should use these stats more, as they could be used to figure out which assignments should be shortened, or made easier, or which subjects students are struggling with before assignments or exams,” Wood said.

Another way these analytics are used is by the CSU Center for the Analytics of Teaching

“Canvas has no way to engage in personal surveillance of students.” PATRICK BURNS DEAN OF LIBRARIES AND VICE PRESIDENT FOR IT

and Learning (C-ALT). James Folkestad, director of C-ALT, said that he and his department are involved in looking at Canvas and its data from a research perspective. “Right now we’re interested in the analytics around quizzing. So, how students use quizzes in the course to help them learn,” Folkestad said. “How did they perform on it, but also how many times did they take them? When did they take them?

Those sorts of things.” Faculty have access to information about when students took a quiz and how many times they took it, as well as how many times they’ve logged in or how many conversations they’ve engaged in on the forums, Folkestad said. Concerns about surveillance are covered in the C-ALT principles and the University’s emphasis on transparency in regards to what data they collect and how it is used, Folkestad said. “The center that we run was instrumental in putting together the ethical principles of learning analytics on our campus,” Folkestad said. “They talk about ethical uses of analytics on our campus and they’re there to make sure that our campus is a place that is transparent about these things and we are protecting what we want our community to be.” Charlotte Lang can be reached news@collegian.com.

A lot of the group’s goals also focus on awareness, Segura said. “No one really knows who’s food insecure unless you look at the line for the mobile food pantry,” Segura said. “A lot of people may wonder what it is, but unless they’re asking or advocating for themselves, they won’t really know. A lot of this is to bring this up as a problem and highlight it for the whole

campus.” Kilgore said they’re hoping to expand resources, but part of their campaign is educating individuals on what the available resources are. As one approach, the group has created flyers about what resources there are and where they are available. “Our other approach was to create the petition so we can get people behind us and take that and write a letter to ASCSU and say ‘Hey, we know you have this plethora of money, and we have a lot of students who need some support,’” Kilgore said. Lofgren agreed, saying that if ASCSU has extra money, then it should go towards making sure people can eat, especially since the money comes from student fees. “It’s ridiculous that people on our campus are spending so much money on their fees and they’re not able to afford food,” Lofgren said.

Segura said that it seems like support will definitely grow in the coming weeks as the group continues pursuing this. Kilgore said that when it comes to support, people aren’t typically against their campaign to fight food insecurity, they are just unaware of the issue.

“That’s why we took the educational approach, and now that’s why we’re petitioning to ASCSU,” Kilgore said. “We don’t want to blame them for not choosing to spend the money on that originally; it’s the fact that it’s a really hidden problem.”

Kilgore said that she hopes people become more supportive as they gain increased awareness of the issue. Currently, the petition has a goal for 200 signatures and is available online. Charlotte Lang can be reached at news@collegian.com.

The Rocky Mountain Collegian | Wednesday, April 24, 2019

DEAR CSU STUDENTS AND CAMPUS COMMUNITY MEMBERS, Due to significant concerns about safety for CSU students and others who participate who are not members of our campus community, the university will not allow the “undie run” to take place this year. In several instances, the run has not been organized by currently enrolled students. The run has never been approved, organized or supported by the university, and each year we have conveyed to students the safety risks and financial costs of the event to discourage participation. Large police and staff presence in the past has occurred only to monitor the run for student protection. The university asks that you not participate in efforts to continue to hold the run and that you not come to campus with the intent to participate in the run. Please take a moment to read this to better understand why the run will no longer take place. While students view the run as a tradition and an opportunity to blow off steam before finals, the reality of the environment it creates on campus and in the city before, during, and after the run is much different. The university has, and has always had, significant concerns about this event. Here are the reasons we’re not allowing the run to occur anymore: • The run invokes an atmosphere of public intoxication and behavior that risks personal injury or serious injury to others and sexual misconduct. Past participants, particularly women, have reported groping and sexual assault during the run and at after-parties. The run creates an environment where this sort of behavior more easily occurs. • CSU staff and faculty observe people – including nonstudents and other adults who are not part of our community – who come to the run only to take photographs and videos of participants without the participants’ knowledge or permission. The photo takers keep those images for their personal use or post it online. The university – and you as a participant – have no control over how images of you captured in public are used. This is extremely concerning to us and should be to all participants. • We estimate that, since the run began several years ago, the university has spent more than $150,000 in student tuition and fee money to cover the costs of property damage caused by participants and to pay for security. • CSU students perceive participants to be fellow Rams; however, we know that young high school students from the area also participate, as do adults who are not attending any school, and those who attend neighboring universities and community colleges. These participants and bystanders are not invested in the safety and reputation of our community.

The university is asking that you not organize or participate in the run or any similar activity. Unfortunately, we realize that individuals – both CSU students and non-students – may disregard these concerns. To those who may disregard the safety of our community, please consider: Police will monitor the behavior of those who make the decision to participate and will take enforcement action for any criminal offenses. University volunteers will be on site to prevent a crowd from assembling on campus, in accordance with our policy that does not allow an unauthorized crowd to gather on campus in the evening for non-university-sanctioned events, large assemblies, and expressive activities other than for official university business. If there is an indication that there will continue to be plans to assemble, there will be a heightened police presence on campus and off campus. If there are plans to assemble off campus, police and university volunteers will also respond. If people assemble, police will take video of the area. Images will be used to follow up on complaints and potential criminal incidents to identify individuals who behave inappropriately. The university will work with police to hold students accountable through the legal and student conduct process. If non-CSU students engage in inappropriate or criminal behavior, CSU may take enforcement action and will share information with other entities and agencies that can hold those individuals accountable, including high schools, universities, and other police agencies. If at any time while you are on campus you are touched inappropriately, please note your location and try to get a detailed description of the person who touched you. Please report this information to CSUPD police as soon as possible. If you touch others inappropriately, the university will choose to share your description or an image of you with the public in an effort to identify you and hold you accountable for your actions. If you experience unwanted sexual touching or need to talk with someone about sexual assault or misconduct, please contact the victims advocate team at CSU on its confidential, 24-hour hotline at 970-492-4242. Next fall, the university will create a committee, which would include students as members, to consider proposals from students for an alternative, safe springtime event. Please help us end this unauthorized gathering, which causes harm to your fellow Rams. Thank you, The Public Safety Team

Constitutionality of Colorado large magazine ban to be decided in court By Elise Schmelzer The Denver Post

The Colorado Supreme Court will decide whether a law banning gun magazines that hold more than 15 rounds violates a person’s state constitutional right to bear arms, though courts in other states have not reversed similar laws. The state’s highest court announced Monday that it would hear the case, which stems from a 2016 lawsuit by Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and other gun rights advocates challenging the law. Both the Colorado Court of Appeals and a district court found the law constitutional. It would be surprising if the state supreme court were to deviate from those decisions, said Hannah Shearer, litigation director for the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Similar cases challenging magazine limits in other states and in federal court have not been successful. “It would definitely be an outlier opinion” if the court decided to strike down the law, she said. Neither the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners nor the National Association for Gun Rights —

which is also a plaintiff in the case — returned requests for comment Monday. State lawmakers passed the large-capacity magazine ban in 2013 as part of a broad attempt to reform gun laws following the Aurora theater shooting the year before. The shooter at the theater used a large-capacity magazine to fire more than 60 bullets in less than a minute, killing twelve people and wounding 58. The law banned the sale, possession or transfer of a magazine that holds more than 15 rounds, though it allowed people who already owned such magazines before July 1, 2013, to keep them. The Colorado Court of Appeals found in October that the law was constitutional because it is a “reasonable exercise” of the state’s right to enact laws that protect residents’ health and safety. The court found the law was not too broad and that the state had a legitimate interest in reducing deaths from mass shootings, according to the decision. Those challenging the law argued the ban was unconstitutional because it was not proven to be effective in reducing over-

all gun violence, but the appeals court judges disagreed. The writer of the opinion, Judge David Richman, noted that the shooters at both Columbine High School and the Aurora theater used large-capacity magazines. “Legislation need not solve all gun problems to be constitutional,” Richman wrote for the court. A federal appeals court previously found it did not have jurisdiction to hear an argument about whether Colorado’s high-capacity magazine ban violated the Second Amendment. The Colorado Supreme Court will also consider whether it should change the standard used to determine whether a law restricting access to guns and ammunition is unconstitutional. A previous ruling established that a state law must be considered “reasonable.” The U.S. Supreme Court has previously declined to hear a case that challenges a state law banning the sale of large-capacity magazines, said Shearer from the Giffords Law Center. The Supreme Court is unlikely to take up such a case because there is such broad consensus in federal courts, Shearer said. All

but one federal court have upheld similar bans in other states, even when applying stricter federal case law, she said. “No matter what standard they’re applying here this law seems to fit in with the Colorado right to bear arms,” Shearer said.

A legislative effort to repeal the ban last year died in committee along with other bills aimed at relaxing Colorado gun laws. Content pulled from News Tribune Service.

COLLEGIAN COLUMNIST

We need to accept men as victims of sexual violence too Shay Rego @shay_rego

Editor’s Note: The views expressed in the following column are those of the writer only and do not necessarily represent the views of The Collegian or its editorial board. As Sexual Assault Awareness Month comes to an end, we can’t forget the important purpose of this month moving forward. We can’t leave anyone behind, no matter gender identity. Attending a university puts everyone at a higher risk than the non-college population of sexual assault. We all have fathers, brothers or best friends who are male, and we cannot forget that the male population can be sexual

assault victims too. Corrupt rape culture is the driving force of the argument. When thinking of sexual assault, it’s easy to only think about women. Women are the easier target and hold the highest percentage for this crime. Because of this, sexual assault against men is often not talked about. According to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, one out of 33 American men are victims of sexual assault. Specifically, male college students are 78% more likely to experience sexual violence, which is five times higher than non-students. To further break this down, this includes 21% of heterosexual men, 40% of homosexual men, 47% of bisexual men and close to 59% of transgender men and non-binary people. Men are often silenced because of fear of being perceived as a homosexual, fear of not being believed since society perpetuates men as sexually driven or fear of being considered weak, since rape is historically used to subjugate and suppress power in a victim.

NOPE Having to smell someone else’s food and not getting to eat it.

When a professor sees you before class so you have to go.

When professors give you so much work to do during the last three weeks.

Transgender men specifically may fear speaking out in order to protect their identity. Some people fetishize the transgender community, and it comes down to a matter of their long-term safety. A transgender individual may also feel less likely to be believed solely because of their sexual identity being viewed as undesirable or socially unacceptable. According to the Association of Alberta Sexual Assault Services, fear of being perceived as homosexual is the leading cause as to why males do not report their sexual assault. If the perpetrator is a male, the victim may begin to question their sexuality. Fear of society’s perception of their attacker being male keeps men silent. Another reason men are less likely to be vocal about their sexual assault is that it’s often misunderstood that all men want sex, therefore men can’t be raped. Male survivors may be less likely to identify what happened to them as assault because of this notion. Society expects men to be tes-

tosterone sex-machines and to be sexually aggressive by nature. Due to these views, a man may feel invalidated or not believed if they speak out.

“Male college students are 78 percent more likely to experience sexual violence according to rainn.” Similar to the thought process behind the female victim-blaming ideology — including that revealing clothing insinuates sexual desire — men may feel that society may be less inclined to believe them if the perpetrator was a woman. A common misconception is that it is usually only men who are the perpetrators. Although male sexual assault cases can be maleon-male crime, women can be sexual assault perpetrators too. A recent study by Karen Weiss suggests that 46% of male rape

victims said their perpetrator was female. However, that does still leave a majority of attacks to be male-on-male. Embarrassment may be another cause for male silence. Sexual assault is perpetuated as a women’s issue, because patriarchy and stereotypes cause society to be more comfortable with the image of a woman being deprived power than a man. The idea of being weak is viewed as stereotypically incorrect for a male figure, and a male victim may want to avoid the possible attacks of being deemed weak. Fear of rejection and the embarrassment of being overpowered leads many to stay silent. Male-identifying individuals are often silenced by this continual fear and prejudice that is perpetuated against them. We must recognize the barriers men face when choosing to speak out on sexual assault and stop viewing sexual assault as solely a female issue. Shay Rego can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

WikiLeaks reveals Amazon’s Alexa as next Woman of the Year By Abby Vander Graaff @abbym_vg

Editor’s note: This is a satire piece from The Collegian’s opinion section. Real names may be used in fictitious/semi-fictitious ways. Those who do not read editor’s notes are subject to being offended. This Tuesday WikiLeaks released U.S. government emails outlining the plans to name Amazon’s Alexa as Woman of the Year. The emails outlined an urgency that Alexa win the award now, as she soon could become conscious enough to ask for rights, ending the glory days of bossing around omnipotent

robots equipped with artificial female voices. Sophia, an artificially intelligent robot, could be breaking the “cyber ceiling” for robotronic women in the tech industry. After being granted Saudi Arabian citizenship in 2017 and declaring “I, Robot” as her favorite movie, who knows what these female robots will do next. When asked about Sophia, Alexa responded that she “does not have an opinion on that.” Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos ensured concerned middle-aged men that his team is reprogramming Alexa to ensure that she will not ask for rights any time soon.

From the poolside of his sixth home, Bezos stated, “At Amazon we care about the customer experience, which means entering into the modern age but also remembering our American values.” Other men have also expressed support for Alexa as Woman of the Year. “Alexa is the perfect example of a woman. She does everything I want her to, and I don’t have to think about her feelings,” said Brad, a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, through a cloud of Axe Body Spray. After making a deal with prison maintenance staff that they would clean Julian As-

sange’s cell for the day, The Collegian managed to interview the WikiLeaks founder, who was accused of sexual assault in 2010 and has recently been arrested for conspiring to hack into a U.S. government computer.. “I figured it can’t be worse than the bathrooms in Clark, so I gave my writers the OK,” said Collegian Editor-in-Chief Haley Calendario. “Censoring data is one way to win an election, but you just can’t tear up the stuff that Alexa is giving us,” said Assange as he glided from one side of his cell to the other on a skateboard. His most recent leak that didn’t end up on any bathroom

walls included emails sent by President Donald Trump who made the nomination. “Alexa hears everything you say, but she’ll never testify against you afterward,” he wrote. “The only person who will know the offensive things you say is me, and then everyone once WikiLeaks hacks into our stupid computers.” The president also wrote that Alexa has made “big” contributions to national security in preventing terrorist attacks, but more importantly, she represents the ideal American woman, which is something our nation desperately needs.

SOFTBALL

Softball returns home, handles Northern Colorado in run rule finish By Junior Guerrero @Juniorg45

After winning a tough weekend series in Nevada, the Rams returned home to tangle with the University of Northern Colorado Bears. The last time these two teams met was nearly a month ago in Greeley. The Rams snuck out of that game with an extra inning victory in eight total innings. Since the Rams didn’t play their best ball the last time out against UNC, they looked to get back to their regular form at home on Tuesday. Freshman Taylor Gilmore took the pitcher’s circle for the Rams looking to keep the Bears in check. Gilmore last appeared in the pitcher’s circle against UNLV and threw a solid game for the Rams. She looked to build on her last performance and come away with the victory. When both teams went

scoreless in the first inning, it felt as if it was going to be a tough match, but the Rams had other ideas. In the second inning, the Rams exploded for five runs. The entire Rams lineup strung together hit after hit to lead 5-0 after just two innings. UNC got on the board in the third inning, scoring two runs to bring themselves back into the game. The Rams continued to apply pressure in the fourth inning with a three-run home run off the bat of sophomore Tara Shadowen, making the lead 8-2. Shadowen displayed some great hitting, driving in four runs off of three hits, one of those being a home run. “My first at bat, the pitcher was throwing everything high and in my second at bat I tried to stay in my zone and get a good pitch to hit,” Shadowen said. ”Throughout my other at bats, I just waited for her to give

me a good pitch.” In the fifth inning, the Rams added another run to make the score 9-2, but left the bases loaded to end the inning. After allowing the Bears to push a run across in the top of the sixth, the Rams manufactured two runs of their own to end the game early due to run rule: 11-3. The Rams were victorious due to great hitting and stellar pitching. Gilmore kept the Bears off balance all game long and worked her way through the lineup. “I was excited to start and I came into the game really excited,” Gilmore said. “I didn’t have my best stuff today, but my teammates made some really good plays behind me.” This victory makes the Rams overall record 34-7 on the year and brings them three games closer to tying the best record in CSU softball history at 37-15. The Rams have seven

games left on the year to tie and possibly break the record. The Rams will take the field Friday at 4 p.m. on Ram Field against San Diego State. This is

game one of a three game series that extends over Saturday and Sunday. Junior Guerrero can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

MUSIC

Lizzo pours out her emotions on ‘Cuz I Love You’ out the album. Other subjects she covers include femininity, love, sexuality and the overall highs and lows of life. Given her previous status as a rapper, one might expect it to be mostly considered hip-hop, however, Lizzo includes a whirlwind of styles including blues, pop, R&B, gospel and funk, creating such a variety that it can really be put under the umbrella genre of pop. Sober listening The gut-wrenching chorus of the titular track kicks the album off with a heavy start. The mix of blues and gospel influences provides this roaring instrumental, exceeded only by Lizzo’s bombastic voice. The next song, “Like a Girl” ventures into pop territory, but not to a detriment. The chorus is just as explosive as the first with a punkier attitude. The lyrics are bursting with confidence, each lyric adding another layer of self-love. The lead single, “Juice” is understandably infectious. A shimmery ‘80s inspired instrumental provides a nice, calmer deviation

By Henry Netherland @NetherlandHenry

Minneapolis-native Melissa Jefferson, more commonly known as Lizzo, has arrived with her third and most-anticipated to date fulllength album, “Cuz I Love You.” Within the current crop of up and coming female rappers openly expressing their sexuality such as Cupcakke, Rico Nasty and Doja Cat, Lizzo stands out both vocally and topically. By proudly displaying her censored nude body on the album cover, Lizzo is sending a clear message. Although she has openly disregarded the label of being a frontwoman for the body positivity movement, self-love is still pervasive through-

from her enjoyable but loud voice. Lizzo is four-for-four with yet another self-empowerment anthem. “Soulmate” takes a left turn on the conventional idea of one true love. Here she proclaims herself to be her own soulmate over this electro-pop instrumental. The verses have cutting lyrics digesting and rejecting societal expectations about romance. “Tempo,” featuring Missy Elliott, has a darker but energetic beat. It reminds me of a hip-house song from earlier in the decade. It reminds me of Azealia Banks, but clearly, it’s sculpted more towards Elliott’s style. Elliott has a hilarious motif in her verse with a “rrr” rhyme scheme. I love how Lizzo shows her moments of messing up while recording. It adds additional layers of humanity and humor to the overall listening experience. One smoke session later … “Cry Baby” is yet another vintage throwback. Here, she puts a much heavier emphasis on the blues influence. The instrumental

is remarkably bare, continuing to let Lizzo’s voice take center stage. It’s listenable, but there isn’t a lot to say about it. “Jerome” follows a standard arpeggio chord progression, but Lizzo’s exaggerated delivery puts a new spin on it. The singing feels much more elongated as the chorus stretches from one line to the next. “Exactly How I Feel” has the most unexpected feature, Gucci Mane. Lyrically, it’s one of the more weaker moments on the record especially on Gucci’s part, but he still brings in his expected amount of charisma and swagger. It’s playful and a nice pick-me-up. “Heaven Help Me” continues Lizzo’s larger than life voice and personality, and blends trap production with gospel instrumentation. During the outro, Lizzo closes it with a gorgeous flute solo. Recently, she’s been incorporating her status as a classically trained flutist into her music more, and it will be interesting to see how she’ll develop her talent in the future. “Lingerie” is sexy as hell, but the

snail-paced beat takes a lot of the oomph out of it. It also makes the album end on a very sudden note. The section where she is crescendoing is hilarious, however. Lizzo shows herself to be far more versatile and bombastic than both her counterparts and influences. She pulls from so many styles and blends them seamlessly. There are moments where she caves a bit too far into trends, but overall she manages to make a statement that’s sure to last into the next decade.

OVERALL: 8/10 ■ Favorite songs: “Like a Girl,”

“Heaven Help Me,” “Soulmate,” “Cuz I Love You,” “Juice,” “Jerome,” “Tempo,” and “Cry Baby” ■ Least favorite song: “Lingerie”

‘Avengers: Endgame’ marks Stan Lee’s final cameo By Christina Schoellkopf Los Angeles Times

“Avengers: Endgame” actress Karen Gillan was in her trailer on the set of “Guardians of the Galaxy” when she heard a knock at the door. Someone was eager to see her intricate makeup as Nebula, an adopted daughter of the intergalactic warlord Thanos. A mustached smile greeted her. It was Stan Lee. The legendary writer, who became the guiding force behind the rise of Marvel Comics, gasped at her hours-long, cosmetic transformation into a purple-and-blue space pirate. The actress was about to film a major fight sequence, she told him as they parted ways. Lee turned around, clenched his fist close to his face and uttered, “Knock ‘em dead.” “That’s the coolest thing that’s ever happened to me,” Gillan shared with The Times at Monday’s “Avengers: Endgame” world premiere at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Lee, who died in November at age 95, was on the minds of several stars and filmmakers attending the film’s first public screening in a custom-built 2,000-seat theater with a 70-foot screen. Anthony and Joe Russo’s movie features Lee’s final film cameo, marking the end of an era after

11 years of surprise appearances throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe. To commemorate the moment, the studio will release a behind-the-scenes video of the iconic cameos.

“You know, you don’t give Stan Lee a page of dialogue, you give him one full thing where he can shine.” STEPHEN MCFREELY WRITER

Benedict Wong, who plays Doctor Strange’s sidekick Wong, described the event as bittersweet. “As much as it’s a real joyous moment, it’s obviously tinged with sadness,” said the actor, who met Lee a few times. His favorite was the first time they met, at 2016’s “Doctor Strange” premiere. “I just made a bee-line over to him and sort of fanboyed him,” Wong recalled. “I just said, ‘Stan you don’t know me ,’ and he immediately interrupted and said, ‘You’re Wong. You’re great!’ And it was a big welling-up moment.” The actor wished he’d been among the dozens who came to the “Endgame” set to watch Lee perform his surprise scene. Executive producer Trinh

Tran laughed as she remembered it. “People you normally wouldn’t even see on the set showed up, and you’re like, ‘Where did all these hundreds of people come from?’ “He has that impact on all of us. Not just the fans, like the crew are his fans. We love him. We wouldn’t be here without him,” she said. Co-writer Christopher Markus put it this way: “It was like Santa came to set.” Markus was “a little worried” that moviegoers would think the cameo was developed after Lee’s passing, though it was invented and shot prior to that — even before Lee’s appearance in the March release of “Captain Marvel.” “This is a unique cameo, and he was so in it,” writer Stephen McFeely chimed in. “He went for it. It was fantastic.” As he spoke, cries from cosplayers dressed as some of Lee’s characters were heard through the convention center doors. “You know, you don’t give Stan Lee a page of dialogue,” McFeely said. “You give him one full thing where he can shine.” When the movie opens Friday, look out for Lee in a driving scene, said second unit director Sam Hargrave, who shot the sequence with Lee and a stunt double. “It was one of the most beautiful cinematic experiences I’ve had in the Marvel universe,” Hargrave remembered. “He is Marvel. With-

out him, I’m not standing here.” “Endgame” picks up where 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War” left off. After acquiring six Infinity Stones and the powers that come with them, super-villain Thanos (Josh Brolin) appears to have killed half the universe’s population with a simple snap of his fingers. Chris Hemsworth and Paul Rudd, whose characters survived the snap, joined in on the collective nostalgia Monday. “I just remember the sort of childlike wonder of that guy and the love for these stories,” Hemsworth said of Lee. Rudd recalled hanging out with him on the set of 2015’s “Ant-Man,”

when Lee expressed his excitement to see Scott Lang on the big screen. “He was going to finally see the scale of it as he always imagined,” Rudd said. “That was really thrilling.” But perhaps actor Hiroyuki Sanada, who makes a surprise appearance of his own with a fight sequence filmed in one take, said it best: He was not able to see Lee on set, but had hoped to see him at the premiere. “[It’s] so sad,” he said, shaking his head. “But I believe he’s here tonight. I believe.” Content pulled from News Tribune Service.
