Phylis Perry shows love, support for Colorado Eagles in unique way By Ryan Loberger @LobergerRyan
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and when you’re able to capture the essence of a game as chaotic and beautiful as hockey, you’re really going to have a mouthful when asked to describe it in a painting. Phyllis Perry has been rec-
reating hockey memories for over 20 years. What started as a personal hobby has gone from hanging her paintings in her living room for fun, to professional hockey players decorating their own homes’ with her work. “I grew up in Minnesota, which accounts for my interest in hockey,” Perry said. “The paintings were a way for me to
say things to these (players) I never could.” The 77-year-old Chicago native first started painting in the 1990s after she relocated to Denver in 1983 with her late-husband William. Perry was ecstatic in 1996 when the Quebec Nordiques franchise relocated from Quebec City to Denver for the 1995-1996 season.
“We were here when the Avalanche came and I insisted that we had to go,” Perry said. “(My husband and I) shared season tickets (with our son) and we were treated to a couple (of ) Stanley Cups.” The Avalanche won two cups in their first six years in Denver, Perry and her husband worked in the tech industry and with retirement approaching
she needed a way to occupy her free time. “Right about that time I started to think about what I (was) going to do when I retire,” Perry said. “I was lucky enough to be comfortable and didn’t have to work during retirement. (I had) a friend that taught painting and she taught me how to paint.”

ASCSU resolution targets untrained dogs to defend disabled students By Ceci Taylor @cecelia_twt
Cerridwyn Nordstrom, Associated Students of Colorado State University senator and Vice Chair for the Women’s Caucus, recently passed a resolution through the Senate that would petition the Student Resolution Center to change their policy regarding dogs on campus. The resolution would allow one to report out of control or aggressive animals, Nordstrom said. Students or faculty who bring those animals on campus could be cited. According to the resolution, which passed this semester, the Student Resolution Center would be asked to allow for complaints and disciplinary action to be taken against CSU community members who bring “undertrained or purely fraudulent service animals” and pets, with a system put in place to promptly and efficiently handle such complaints. Nordstrom said that in her five years of being on campus, she has noticed more and more people bring their pets to class and onto CSU’s campus. “You have all of these dogs
who are barking, out of control, and growling,” Nordstrom said. “When you bring those animals on campus it means that people like me, with service dogs, have to try and navigate our lives around you.” Rose Kreston, director at the Student Disability Center, said that bringing dogs on campus can be dangerous to those who rely on service dogs to function.
“It puts a massive dent in disabled people’s ability to do their jobs.” CERRIDWYN NORDSTROM ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY SENATOR AND VICE CHAIR FOR THE WOMEN’S CAUCUS
“Dogs that are not service dogs aren’t trained to not be dogs, and when they meet a service dog they’ll act like a dog,” Kreston said. “We don’t want a dog that’s (a) seeing-eye guide dog to be distracted because that dog could lead that person who is blind into dangerous

On-campus, offASCSU passes building standard resolution, talks ‘19-’20 student fees campus housing offices By Charlotte Lang @ChartrickWrites
After an additional session Tuesday night, the Associated Students of Colorado State University went over old and new business in their Wednesday meeting, passing two resolutions and one lex. The final student fee package for the next academic year was also discussed. WELL building standards resolution One of the resolutions passed was a new proposal brought to the Senate about bringing University buildings to WELL standards. This resolution was authored by Tristan Syron and Andrea Fairchild, director of environmental affairs. After being expedited to a vote, the resolution passed unanimously, with 36-0-0. According to the U.S. Green Building Council, the WELL is a performance-based system for measuring, certifying and monitoring features of a building that impact human health and wellbeing. Fairchild presented the resolution with Stephanie Clemons, coordinator of the interior design program at the University. Fairchild presented a diagram that explained how physical and social environments are important to a person’s health and overall wellbeing. She said that the WELL building standards work to achieve this well-being through physical fitness, mental health and education, reducing air and noise pollution, as well as engaging teachers and community members. “All of those things actually fall underneath departments within ASCSU so this is really something that would be more of a collaborative thing,” Fairchild said. 90% of a person’s time on campus is spent inside, Fairchild said, so adding WELL standards would have a big impact on people’s physiological and social development at the University. According to the presentation, the WELL standards would add nourishment, movement, sound and mind to current LEED building standards. “When a building gets certified to LEED, we’re actually well on the way to a WELL building certification,” Fairchild said. “In the state of Colorado, as well, it is a requirement for a new building to have a goal of achieving a LEED certification.” Other concepts for the version of WELL standards the resolution proposes are air, water, light, movement, thermal comfort, materials, mind and community. Syron urged the Senate for a
yes vote for this resolution. “(Fairchild) has brought to her job in environmental affairs a degree of professionalism that we have never seen before,” Syron said. “I never even read the bill and I know 100% that she is always right on these things. I strongly encourage a yes vote.”

They didn’t approach any other university,” Clemons said. “They looked at our sustainability awards first and what we are doing here and they thought it was a great match. They hadn’t
approached anyone else.” Student fee package presented to Senate Vice President Kevin Sullivan discussed the Student Fee Review Board’s final numbers for the 2020 fiscal year. According to the presentation, five areas will be seeing no increase. These areas are Athletics, ASCSU, Health Center medical services, University Facility Fee Advisory Board and the Student Disability Center. Sullivan said areas seeing mandatory increases will be the University Center for the Arts, the Student Resolution Center, Lory Student Center, Ram Events, SLiCE and the Career Center. “Here are the exciting ones, the mandatory and new resource requests,” Sullivan said. The total fee package is beneath a 3% increase. This was a goal, Sullivan said. Sullivan said the student legal services will be increasing their costs because they got a new full-time position to replace two part-time positions. Ram Ride and Off-Campus Life asked for a joint program coordinator, and interpersonal violence will be increasing so they’ll be able to hire more advocates to work, he said. “Health Network counseling was a really big one and a really important one,” Sullivan said. “The demand is extremely high right now and they had high turnover because the pay was not competitive. So, they raised their pay to make sure they can keep up with demand.” Adult Learner and Veteran Services was the biggest increase, Sullivan said. “ALVS has a ridiculous amount of participation and they just can’t house enough people,” Sullivan said. Due to this, Sullivan said, ALVS will be remodeling to accommodate the high demand. The bill for this package’s approval was sent to the Budgetary Affair Committee. Graduation ticket resolution passed Another resolution passed was a graduation ticket resolution, discussed in a past meeting. This passed with a 16-12-7 vote. Proposed by Milena Castaneda and Zelle Moore, this resolution recommends a revision to the current six ticket policy the College of Health and Human Sciences has. According to the resolution’s original presentation, Moore said the resolution relied on the idea of equity and inclusivity. Drawing on her experience as a first-generation student, she said she is impacted negatively by this policy. Charlotte Lang can be reached news@collegian.com.
deal with ‘spring rush’ By Corbin Reiter @CorbinReiter
Each spring, students from Colorado State University must compete for housing on and off of campus, and assignments can limit the options of students. With over 800 applications to Aggie Village last year and 30-40% of residents returning to their apartments, the University encourages students to consider all housing options available, said John Malsam, assistant director of operations for Housing and Dining Services. The campus apartment assignments are made on a rolling basis, so there is no specific assignment date, Malsam said. “There is no one particular time that applications are reviewed ... they are reviewed on an ongoing basis,” Malsam said. This rolling application means that there is no set schedule that assignments adhere to and students may not receive an offer for the University Apartments until the summer, Malsam said. This lack of a deadline can be frustrating for students that would like to solidify their housing as soon as possible. “It’s not always easy to give a definitive answer, at least not in the ways that folks might prefer,” Malsam said. There are many factors that go into the decision process for University apartments, Malsam said, including the date of application, the housing preferences of the applicant and when they would like to move in. “There (are) a lot of variables, there is still a bit of a rhythm to it,” Malsam said. “We see more people wanting to arrive in the fall than we do see people wanting to arrive in the middle of the semester.” Last spring semester, the office of Off-Campus Life received 9,943 visitors, said Lindsay Mason, assistant director of Off-Campus Life. These visitors all contacted the office to find out about more about options for off-campus housing. The Off-Campus Life office often partners with Housing and Dining Services in order to give students information about all of the questions they have, Malsam said. One common question that students have is when they should sign a lease for the upcoming school year, Mason said. Off-Campus Life kicks off

the lease signing season with a housing fair held in February, according to the office’s website. “We recommend that most students sign leases somewhere between February and April,” Mason said. This recommendation does not always coincide with when the assignments are given to those who applied for on-campus housing, given that applicants may receive an offer at any point during the semester, Malsam said. However, this recommendation is not the end-all rule of housing. Mason said that while the optimal time to sign a lease is between February and April, there is lease availability into summer. “It is definitely not too late (to sign a lease), there are definitely places available and there will be places during the whole summer,” Mason said. While housing assignments may not follow a set schedule, the staff of CSU does its best to allow each student to find housing as quickly and easily as possible, Malsam said. “There are people applying and canceling at all different times. We have people applying for the residence halls after classes start, we have people canceling the weekend that we open,” Malsam said. “These things are always happening. So long as there is a demand for housing, and we have space, we are going to do our best to meet that demand and use that space.” Corbin Reiter can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Dogs >> from page 3 areas.” Nordstrom also said that bringing animals on campus, sometimes used as emotional support animals, has become a bit of a fad. She said that taking her own service dog, Iris, everywhere with her can be a bit of a pain. “It’s not fun to take a dog everywhere with you,” Nordstrom said. “I feel like a single mother 90% of the time. She keeps me from running into walls, I keep her from eating magnets...people who bring their pets with them have no idea what it’s actually like to rely on an animal all day.” Kreston said that emotional support animals are not the same as service dogs, and bringing them everywhere on campus can be dangerous. “Emotional support dogs are not trained to do anything,” Kreston said. “Whereas a service dog is alerting that person that they might be having a seizure, or is alerting that person they’re going to walk off a curb... it’s doing something.” Nordstrom said that other dogs on campus can also pose a threat to service dogs them-

selves, not just their handlers. She said there are heavy consequences if an animal attacks a service dog and it gets injured. “It took me four years to get a dog; I was on a waitlist for four years,” Nordstrom said. “If this dog gets attacked by another dog or something happens and she can no longer work, I’m going to be out a dog for potentially another four years. It puts a massive dent in disabled people’s ability to do their jobs.” Nordstrom said that part of the University’s Student Code of Conduct says that everybody has the right to an included or unimpeded space, which includes disabled people. According to 2018’s Student Code of Conduct, disruptive behavior is defined as behavior that disrupts or interferes with teaching, classrooms or other University functions. Nordstrom said she believes the University is not upholding this part of the code. “They’ve been asked multiple times to protect service dog handlers, and they refuse to do that,” Nordstrom said. “I see it personally as discrimination against disabled people. They are blatantly ignoring it and people are getting hurt.” Right now, Nordstrom said, there isn’t a good way to report someone who has a disruptive dog on campus. Sometimes
she’ll take a picture, but even that doesn’t do much. “You need the person’s name,” Nordstrom said, “People won’t just give you their name.” Melissa Emerson, the director at the Student Resolution Center, said that students who break the rules and bring fake service dogs to places they shouldn’t be could face consequences from the University. “Let’s say a student has an animal, is in a classroom, and it’s being disruptive,” Emerson said. “We could charge them with violating the conduct code, and they may have to come in for a student conduct hearing. If found responsible, there could be a variety of options.” Nordstrom said that she has personally been in dangerous situations because of dogs on campus. “There was this big Dalmatian, we saw him two days in a row, and he was jumping and pulling on the leash that a teeny tiny girl was holding, she could barely hold on,” Nordstrom said. Nordstrom said that it made her nervous because she had to stop and have Iris sit and wait for the other dog to leave. “Your dog is so distracting that my dog can’t even function, and she’s a fully trained dog,” Nordstrom said. “She was
trained by an organization, this dog is flawless. The fact that she couldn’t even walk through the middle of campus without being distracted means that I have to take time out of my day to wait.”
“It’s not fun to take a dog everywhere with you. I feel like a single mother 90% of the time. She keeps me from running into walls, I keep her from eating magnets... people who bring their pets with them have no idea what it’s actually like to rely on an animal all day.” CERRIDWYN NORDSTROM ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY SENATOR AND VICE CHAIR FOR THE WOMEN’S CAUCUS
The Dalmatian wasn’t a fake service dog, Nordstrom said, but she has seen multiple fake service dogs on campus. She said that there are a few ways you can tell, including if they have a lot of what appear to be certifications on their vests. “In the United States, ser-

vice dogs don’t have to be certified,” Nordstrom said. “Some guide dog schools give out ID cards...but it’s not a certification.” Nordstrom said that people can pay $50-100 for fake vests. Behavior can be another tell, Nordstrom said. Service dogs are supposed to act a certain way in spaces that dogs aren’t usually allowed to be in. “Public access skills include things like not licking the floor, not barking, not being disruptive...they should basically be unnoticeable,” Nordstrom said. “It should be the best-behaved pet you’ve ever seen, plus up a level.” There are two questions to ask if people encounter potentially fake service dogs, Nordstrom said: if that dog is for a person with a disability and what tasks it’s trained to perform. Nordstrom said that illegitimate dog handlers won’t know what to say to these questions or try to avoid them. Nordstrom said she understands why people want to bring their emotional support dogs with them, but they really just need to stay at home. “It’s just really unsafe,” Nordstrom said. “I really need (my dog) to keep me safe.” Ceci Taylor can be reached at news@collegian.com.

CSU works to change gendered requirements in scholarships By Ceci Taylor @cecelia_twt
Recently, one professor discovered Colorado State University offers some scholarships that only students of a certain gender are eligible to receive. She decided to find out why. Laura Raynolds, a professor of sociology at CSU, said that this was first brought to her attention when she was assigned to a scholarship committee and was tasked to award a student with the Delano F. Scott Scholarship. The scholarship requirements say that the recipient must be “a male sophomore, junior or senior enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts.” “I questioned whether that was legal or not because that would seem to be discriminatory,” Raynolds said. “I was told that because those specifications were not illegal at the time the scholarship was created — this is a very old scholarship — it was not illegal.” Vice President of Division and Access at CSU Leslie Taylor, said that the University does have a limited number of legacy scholarships that are restricted by gender, which includes three scholarships limited to males and four limited to females. She said that the University is working to change these requirements. According to the CSUSA website, scholarships that are only available to females in the sciences include the Native Women in Science Scholarship and the Jean Tramell Shepardson Health and Exercise Science Scholarship. Additionally, there are the Luanne G. Williams Memorial Scholarship, for female veterinary medical students with an interest in the study of llamas, and the Marion Carnes Hendrie Scholarship, available for any major. Scholarships that are only available to male students include the Delano F. Scott Scholarship, the Myron Brown Ludlow Scholarship, which are both for men of any major in the College of Liberal Arts, and the Howard Scholarship, which is available to men of any major. Taylor said that a living relative of the person who first established the scholarship must be found in order to legally change the requirements. She said if none can be found, an attorney general can also change the original requirements. “We’ve gone through and changed a lot of scholarships, but you have to have a living relative to change the require-

ments,” Taylor said. “It’s a rather difficult and complicated process, but of the seven that still have gendered criteria, I believe we’re still working to find a living relative to change those requirements.”
“I was told it would be illegal for the University to give that scholarship to a female student, and that their choice was either to give the scholarship or not. Under those conditions, I would rather students have scholarships for CSU and did not suggest that we give nobody the scholarship.” LAURA RAYNOLDS PROFESSOR OF SOCIOLOGY AT CSU
Taylor said that she hopes the gendered criteria will be gone by the time summer vacation is over. She also said that any new scholarships that come in aren’t allowed to base requirements off of gender. Taylor said that, despite these examples, there are over 1,000 scholarships available and almost 3,400 students were awarded scholarships through CSUSA. “CSU offers over 1,000 scholarships, and there are only seven that we are concerned about,” Taylor said. “But we are still concerned enough to care.”
In the case of the Delano F. Scott Scholarship, Raynolds also said that the scholarship’s requirements couldn’t be changed because of legal reasons. “I was told it would be illegal for the University to give that scholarship to a female student, and that their choice was either to give the scholarship or not,” Raynolds said. “Under those conditions, I would rather students have scholarships for CSU and did not suggest that we give nobody the scholarship.” Raynolds said that one solution would be to offer female students a similar scholarship of equal amount, but she wasn’t sure if that would be legal. She also said that offering female students scholarships in areas where they go underrepresented could be another solution. “I would wonder if we thought about the areas in which female students continue to be underrepresented,” Raynolds said. “Are there scholarships, for example, in computer sciences that are only available for women?” Raynolds said that this issue isn’t necessarily an issue of gender inequity today, but a reflection of past values. “We’re thinking about how we can foster gender equity now, but also thinking of it as a reflection of historical gender inequities,” Raynolds said. “I mean here’s an institutionalized inequality that remains. Gender inequities don’t disappear, they’re institutionalized in ways we don’t often think of or see.” Ceci Taylor can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Hillary Clinton says Congress should begin Watergate-style hearings By Margaret Talev Blooomberg News
Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Congress should begin a Watergate-style investigation into President Donald Trump’s attempts to obstruct Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election that she lost. Clinton wrote in a Washington Post op-ed that lawmakers should undertake “substantive hearings” on the special counsel’s report from his investigation and shouldn’t “jump straight to an up-or-down vote on impeachment.” “Obviously, this is personal for me, and some may say on that I’m not the right messenger,” she acknowledged. But the decision between Trump’s immediate impeachment and doing nothing, she wrote, is a “false choice.” It was a “mistake” for Republicans to pursue impeachment in 1998 against her husband, President Bill Clinton, “and would be a mistake now.” Democrats have found themselves divided over how to
address Mueller’s revelations. The special counsel found no evidence that Trump or his associates conspired with the Russian effort to manipulate the election. But he didn’t reach a conclusion on whether Trump tried to obstruct justice, instead documenting at least 10 episodes where the president attempted to halt or curtail the investigation. He also reported that Trump repeatedly deceived the public about his actions. Democrats have sought to keep Mueller’s findings in the public spotlight, in part by inviting Mueller and Attorney General William Barr to testify to House committees. But while many liberal activists and lawmakers and some of the party’s presidential candidates have demanded Trump be held accountable, Democratic leaders in Congress fear impeachment proceedings may backfire, as they did for Republicans during Bill Clinton’s presidency. “This is bigger than politics,” Hillary Clinton wrote. “What our country needs now is clear-eyed patriotism, not reflexive partisanship.” Clinton wrote that Muel-
ler’s report, even in the redacted form released by the Justice Department last week, is a “road map” for lawmakers in both parties to follow. If impeachment is pursued, she said, it should be led by a respected independent figure, pointing to the example of John Doar, the former Justice Department official the House Judiciary Committee hired as its special counsel for the Watergate investigation.

Clinton herself was a staff attorney for the Judiciary Committee during Watergate. Responding to Mueller’s conclusion regarding Russian meddling, Clinton recommended Congress establish a biparti-
san commission, similar to the panel convened after the 9/11 attacks, to protect U.S. elections against future foreign interference. “This is necessary because the president of the United
States has proved himself unwilling to defend our nation from a clear and present danger,” she said. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Trump says he’s sending ‘armed soldiers’ to border following incident By Alyza Sebenius & Travis J. Tritten Blooomberg News
President Donald Trump said he plans to send “armed soldiers” to the southern U.S. border, once again blasting Mexico for “not doing nearly enough” to apprehend migrants. “Mexico’s Soldiers recently pulled guns on our National Guard Soldiers, probably as a diversionary tactic for drug smugglers on the Border,” he wrote in a Wednesday morning tweet. “Better not happen again! We are now sending ARMED SOLDIERS to the Border. Mexico is not doing nearly enough in apprehending & returning!” The April 13 incident actually involved Mexican soldiers briefly confronting U.S. counterparts in Texas, with the Mexican soldiers believing that they were on their own soil, according to accounts from the Pentagon and Mexico’s Foreign Ministry. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was conciliatory after being told of Trump’s tweets on Wednesday. “We are going to review the case, take into account what he is pointing out and assure him
that we will always have a responsible attitude and respect for the government and people of the United States,” Lopez Obrador said during his daily press conference.
“After a brief discussion between the soldiers from the two nations, the Mexican military members departed the area.” PAMELA KUNZE SPOKESWOMAN FOR U.S. NORTHERN COMMAND
Mexico’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that “a group of Mexican soldiers came across two U.S. soldiers who were performing support operations in an unidentified vehicle located south of the border fence” in “an area where the border boundaries are not clear.” After an investigation, the ministry suggested, the vehicle was moved to the north to avoid confusion. Navy Capt. Pamela Kunze, a spokeswoman for U.S. Northern Command, said in statement that about six Mexican troops questioned two U.S. sol-
diers providing border support in an unmarked Customs and Border Protection vehicle near Clint, Texas. “After a brief discussion between the soldiers from the two nations, the Mexican military members departed the area,” Kunze said. She said that even though “they were south of the border fence, U.S. soldiers remained in U.S. territory, north of the actual border.” The Defense Department has declined to say how many of its troops at the border are armed but has indicated that number is under continuing review. Earlier Wednesday, Trump reiterated a threat to close a section of the border, writing in a tweet that he would do so and send in the military if Mexico did not apprehend migrants. Trump backed away from a threat to close the border last month. “A very big Caravan of over 20,000 people started up through Mexico. It has been reduced in size by Mexico but is still coming,” Trump said. “Mexico must apprehend the remainder or we will be forced to close that section of the Border & call up the Military.” Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Coming to California: Carbon neutral meals, verified by regulators By Tony Barboza Los Angeles Times
Diners may soon have the chance to nibble away some of their climate guilt by patronizing California restaurants that have pledged to slash their carbon footprints to zero. Under a new program announced by state officials Wednesday, consumers will be able to choose from a list of zero-carbon eateries that pledge to offset emissions associated with their meals by funding greenhouse gas-reduction projects on California farms. Participating restaurants will either go through a verification process to be declared carbon neutral, or add a 1% charge to customers’ checks that will pay farmers and ranchers to transition to climate-friendly practices. The funds will support gentler tilling methods, cover cropping, composting and other measures that either pull carbon dioxide from their air, prevent its release from the soil or store it in the ground. Farmers will be paid $10 per ton of carbon removed from the atmosphere. “Many farmers want to switch
and do this kind of work, to make their crops better, to make their fields more resilient and their soil healthier, but it represents a lot of capital upfront that nobody has,” said San Francisco chef Anthony Myint, the co-founder of Perennial Farming Initiative, the San Francisco nonprofit that is launching the effort in collaboration with the state Air Resources Board and the state Department of Food and Agriculture. So far, the Restore California initiative has received pledges of participation from about two dozen restaurants, including Border Grill, Cafe Gratitude and Spago, in the Los Angeles area, and Benu, in San Francisco. The program has the imprimatur of California’s chief climate regulator, who will develop metrics to track the amount of carbon saved and determine how much farmers should be paid by diners for adjusting their practices. “People will know that their money is actually being used to reduce a very specific amount,” said state Air Resources Board Chairwoman Mary Nichols. Nichols and nonprofit organizers acknowledged that the zero-carbon restaurant program
remains a work in progress. Funding, administration, implementation timelines and other key details are still being worked out.
“Many farmers want to switch and do this kind of work, to make their crops better, to make their fields more resilient and their soil healthier, but it represents a lot of capital upfront that nobody has.” ANTHONY MYINT SAN FRANCISCO CHEF
“It’s the beginning of the process more than it is a fully cooked project,” Nichols said. However, she said it’s an important step in establishing new mechanisms to squeeze carbon reductions from the food system — a major source of planet-warming emissions. Changing agricultural practices to reduce and store greenhouse
gases, known as carbon farming, holds some of the greatest promise for pulling carbon dioxide from the air, Nichols said. It’s also the kind of transformation that must involve all aspects of California’s economy if the state is to meet its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045. “We are going to have to find ways to store more carbon in plants and in the earth,” Nichols said. “This turns out to be one of the single most effective ways.” The developing program is an expansion of efforts by Perennial Farming Initiative, the culinary nonprofit run by Myint and his wife, Karen Leibowitz. As part of its work to fight climate change, the organization measures a restaurant’s carbon footprint through a top-to-bottom assessment of its ingredients and energy use and other operations. It then identifies ways to reduce emissions, such as switching to renewable electricity or sustainably raised beef. The restaurant pays for greenhouse gas-cutting projects to offset their remaining emissions until they are declared “Zero Foodprint.” Those assessments, Myint said, show that about two-thirds
of a restaurant’s life-cycle emissions come from meal ingredients themselves. Although many restaurants already offer a wide spectrum of sustainable and locally grown cuisine, Myint said, it may be tougher to sell customers on paying a premium for food that is climate-friendly too. In his own restaurants, Myint said, he has struggled to make carbon-neutral cuisine as desirable as say, Kobe beef or a luxury electric car. “People will pay $80,000 for a Tesla but they won’t necessarily pay a dollar extra for the carbon-ranched burger,” Myint said. Myint is hopeful that the blessing of state agencies will persuade more restaurants to go carbon-free or offer customers the option to offset their meals. Organizers are hoping to grow the list of participating restaurants to 100 by next year. In one encouraging sign, Myint said he’s received no pushback from customers since deciding to add a 3% carbon offset charge at his restaurant Mission Chinese Food last year. “Literally zero people have opted out.” Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Businessman offers more texts with Cohen to rebut Mueller footnote By Stephanie Baker & Helena Bedwell Bloomberg News
A Georgian-American businessman is accusing Special Counsel Robert Mueller of “glaring inaccuracies” and sensationalizing texts about alleged salacious tapes involving Donald Trump’s 2013 trip to Moscow. In a letter to U.S. Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday, lawyers for Giorgi Rtskhiladze demanded a retraction to a footnote in Mueller’s 448page report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The letter says the footnote includes only part of Rtskhiladze’s text exchange with then-Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen, failing to provide the full context. The FBI and Mueller’s team “spliced the dialogue to produce the ugly insinuations and allegations of Footnote 112 to attract publicity — all while impugning Mr. Rtskhiladze’s character,” according to his attorney, A. Scott Bolden. Bolden’s letter provides a fuller version of the texts. While adding more information, the messages probably won’t settle speculation about possible tapes. Rtskhiladze, who had business dealings with Trump, said in an interview Wednesday that his texts had been misinterpreted to mean he’d seen and destroyed compromising tapes of Trump, when he was only conveying a rumor. Peter Carr, a Justice Department spokesman, declined to comment. Cohen didn’t respond to messages seeking comment. Rtskhiladze said he’s agreed to voluntarily testify before the House Intelligence Committee in the coming weeks after receiving a written request from the committee’s chairman, Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California. The footnote disclosed part of a text from Rtskhiladze to Cohen on Oct. 30, 2016, and, after Mueller’s report was released, prompted more questions than answers. In his texts, Rtskhiladze tells Cohen: “Stopped flow of some tapes from Russia.” But in the footnote, Mueller dropped “some” from the text, which is a “crucial” word because “it establishes the fact that Mr. Rtskhiladze had no knowledge of the tapes’ content,” according to the letter to Barr. Mueller didn’t disclose the rest of the text exchange,

which shows Rtskhiladze didn’t have direct knowledge of the rumor involving the tapes, the letter says. “It’s not something I took action on,” Rtskhiladze said in the interview. “It was not a fact, just a stupid rumor.” Cohen then asks, “Tapes of what?” Rtskhiladze responds, “Not sure of the content but person in Moscow was bragging had tapes from Russia trip. Will try to dial you tomorrow but wanted to be aware. I’m sure it’s not a big deal but there are lots of stupid people.” Cohen says, “You have no idea.” Rtskhiladze responds, “I do trust me.” Rtskhiladze said the full exchange of his texts with Cohen shows he was only communicating a rumor a friend had overheard at a Moscow party.
He said his friend, whom he declined to identify, called to alert him about the rumor because of Rtskhiladze’s business dealings with Trump. Rtskhiladze said he passed along the identity of his friend to Mueller. In 2012, the Trump Organization announced plans to build a $250 million tower in the Georgian Black Sea town of Batumi with the Silk Road Group, which paid him a $1 million licensing fee. Rtskhiladze, a partner of the group’s U.S. affiliate, had helped broker that deal. Plans for the tower were on hold until Trump announced he was pulling out of the project in January 2017 just before he entered the White House. The texts between Rtskhiladze and Cohen came a few weeks after an Access Hollywood video was released
showing Trump talking about kissing and groping women without their consent, leading to speculation there were more compromising tapes to emerge. But it was before a dossier of unverified allegations about Trump and his campaign, compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele, was published. The most titillating allegation in the Steele dossier was that Trump hired prostitutes to perform a sexual act during a 2013 visit to Moscow. Trump has repeatedly denied the allegation. Still, the possible existence of compromising tapes of Trump, while he was in Moscow to attend the Miss Universe Pageant, has been the subject of fierce speculation ever since Mueller began his investigation. No tapes have emerged. Rtskhiladze said he provid-
ed his story to Mueller’s prosecutors, meeting with them twice and appearing before the special counsel’s grand jury for more than 17 hours in total. Still, Mueller’s report wrongly identified Rtskhiladze as Russian, the letter says. In fact, he is from the Republic of Georgia but moved in 1991 to the U.S. and became a U.S. citizen in 2017. “The mere suggestion that Mr. Rtskhiladze is cavorting with Russian associates belittles his personal integrity and identity, tarnishes his reputation and impedes his ability to do business in his native country,” the letter said. Rtskhiladze said he has nothing against Russians. “Russia is a great culture,” he said. “I’m just not Russian.” Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

First generation students should have extra support Kenia Ortiz @Kenia_Ortiz_
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 transition to college is not simple. There’s a sense of newfound freedom and learning how to handle independence in and out of school with no one to hold you responsible for your actions, but yourself. Being a first generation student comes with all of those challenges and more. They deserve better support. It has been well-advertised that many first generation students, or FGS, struggle when it comes to paying for school. However, there are more challenges FGS face that go unheard of. According to The Postsecondary National Policy Institute, 48% of first generation students attend college part-time. This compares to the 38% of students whose parents have at least a bachelor’s degree, that attend school part-time. This could be due to the many FGS who work not only to help pay for school, but have responsibilities at home that don’t allow for school to be their only priority. Students of color are also more likely to be FGS. Forty-two percent of Black students and 48% of Hispanic students are first-generation students, compared to 28% of
White students, according to PNPI. For nearly 20% of FGS, English isn’t their first language, according to PNPI. This presents another challenge when learning about what is needed to succeed in college and educating their parent(s)/guardian(s) along the way. It’s not enough to only offer FGS help when it comes to financial aid. There’s a huge emotional toll that plays a part in their experience. FGS begin feeling the pressure of navigating college even before attending — the majority of FGS have felt the pressure of college since they were kids.
“It’s not enough to only offer help to FGS when it comes to financial aid. There’s a huge emotional toll that plays a part in their experience.” I am a first generation college student, and I have been thinking about college since I was in middle school. My parents provided the best they could for me, but they always said “Do not settle for this. Go to college so you can get a well-paid job and you won’t have to struggle like we did.” I cannot speak for every FGS, but finishing college is an accomplishment for me and for my whole family. It’s something we’ll all be proud of, which adds more significance and pressure. When FGS attend college,
they cannot benefit from their parents’ college experience. Their parents cannot serve as a resource they can turn to when navigating college. Racial underrepresentation and difficulty adjusting to college can also manifest into feeling like an outsider. Not only does that student feel like they’re behind everyone else and in a constant mode of catch-up, but they don’t have a community to turn to for support that shares their values and experiences. This isolation can build to low-academic self esteem, which then contributes to a lower rate of college completion compared to students who have at least one parent with a four-year degree. Counseling and self-care should be promoted to FGS as much as the Office of Financial Aid is. After finances are sorted out, students expect everything else to be a smooth ride, not knowing they have yet to experience culture shock, discrimination, low-academic self-esteem and stress. FGS have the right to know that, while not all first-generation students will experience this, it’s something that can come up. When it does, they need resources to turn to. FGS withstand the discomfort of feeling like an outsider,and the stress of navigating what college is because the diploma at the end is a part of something bigger than themselves. They are laying down the foundation to a path that wasn’t there for them in order to help those who come after. Kenia Ortiz can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

COLLEGIAN COLUMNIST
Astrology isn’t real or fake, it’s what you make of it 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. If you haven’t noticed, astrology is becoming mainstream. Did you hear about the last mercury retrograde? Brutal. Humans have practiced astrology for thousands of years, using the stars to guide harvests, signal weather events or simply as a compass. In Babylonia for example, the rainy season was found to occur when the Sun was in a particular constellation, which was then named Aquarius or water bearer. Nowadays, even Amazon is picking up on its resurgence by publishing monthly horoscopes for Prime members, directing them towards what they should purchase based on
their signs. Asking if someone “believes” in astrology is the wrong question to ask. It implies that people are abandoning rational thought for mystical calamity. Astrology is not a science, and it’s not trying to be. It offers comfort in times of uncertainty with the consistent, gentle reminder we all need sometimes: this too shall pass.
“Just like the Enlightenment gave way to the Romantic Period, the scientization of the 19th century is giving way to 21st century spirituality.” Millennials and Gen Zs are the most stressed generations to date. The 2017 edition of the APA’s survey found that 63% of Americans said they were significantly stressed about the country’s future, 56% said reading the news stresses
them out, and Millennials and Gen Zs were significantly more likely than older people to say so. Younger generations are flocking to astrology because more and more people are recognizing that science can’t answer all of our questions, or even necessarily be a divine guide for humanity. Science is a magnificent tool, but it’s not the only one. Just like the Enlightenment gave way to the Romantic Period, the scientization of the 19th century is giving way to 21st century spirituality. There are barriers to entry for the scientific community, just like the astrology community. Understanding the jargon is essential to representing (and not explaining or predicting) human experiences and life events. Humans are narrative creatures. Astrology is merely a way to mark time and track patterns, which is basically what humans have done with everything else since the beginning of time. We do the same thing with plants and animals— so why not personali-
ties, relationship patterns and life cycles? Walter Thompson’s intelligence group released a trend report in 2016 called “Unreality.”
“Astrology is merely a way to mark time and track patterns, which is basically what humans have done with everything else since the beginning of time.” “We are increasingly turning to unreality as a form of escape and a way to search for other kinds of freedom, truth and meaning,” it reads. “What emerges is an appreciation for magic and spirituality, the knowingly unreal, and the intangible aspects of our lives that defy big data and the ultra-transparency of the web.” Just like the Enlightenment gave way to the Romantic Period, the scientization of the 19th century is giving way
to 21st century spirituality. As our planet deteriorates at an alarming rate, our generation has a deeper will to understand ourselves and our place in the universe. With atheism at an all time high, it’s no surprise that spiritual practices like meditation and astrology are on the rise. Of course, some people are going to use astrology to judge others before they know them, but you don’t have to. Your birth chart can bring to light the things about yourself you don’t want to acknowledge, or that you didn’t understand about yourself in the first place. You can calculate yours for free at astro.com. We should encourage people to embrace the things that resonate with them. We’re all just floating through space on a giant rock constantly figuring out what to do with our time and who we want to be. If using astrology helps you or shows you a new path you might not have considered before, all the power to you. Madison Thompson can be reached at letters@collegian. com.

Perry >> from page 1 Just getting started as an artist, Perry saw a chance to paint her favorite players on a canvas, combining her passion for hockey and a newfound passion for art. “I started with the Avalanche players,” Perry said. “At the time there was a lot of news coverage and photos of the players were easily available so I started (painting) those guys. Then the Eagles showed up in Loveland and I’ve been painting them ever since, so that’s been over 15 years.” When the Colorado Eagles franchise was established in 2003, Perry had relocated to Loveland and began painting members of the team. Still mastering her technique, Perry recalls struggling early on with her photography and painting skills. She had doubts in her abilities as an artist. “My first efforts weren’t terrific,” Perry said. “But I was determined and as time went by, technology blossomed. I was able to take pictures with better lighting. All of the sudden — boom — everything started to fall into place and it was much easier, and more fun in some ways.” Phylis Perry, a 77-year-old Chicago native, has combined her love of painting and hockey to recreate hockey memories for over 20 years.
“I started with the Avalanche players. At the time there was a lot of news coverage and photos of the players were easily available so I started (painting) those guys. Then the Eagles showed up in Loveland and I’ve been painting them ever since, so that’s been over 15 years.” PHYLIS PERRY OIL PAINTER
Eagles legend Greg Pankewicz heard about her artwork through the grapevine during the offseason while playing in a recreation-league game.
OIL PAINTINGS COURTESY OF PHYLIS PERRY
“It was summer time and in the offseason,” Perry said. “So he wasn’t under contract and he was in a rec-league game and not wearing any (eagles gear). One night I had done a painting for a friend of mine and he showed it to Greg (pankewicz), and he came looking for me.” Perry recalls pulling out of the parking lot and a crowd of people, including Pankewicz, all yelling at her to stop her car. Thanks to the encouragement of Pankewicz and other Eagles players like Brad Williams, Perry was able to perfect her skills and became comfortable giving her artwork to the players. “I think I met Phylis for the first time back in 2008,” said Eagles Media Relations Director and Play-by-Play Broadcaster Kevin McGlue. “I was just blown away and then I heard her sto-
ry that she did these paints for every single player on the team and people throughout the staff she’s done. It’s just an incredibly generous thing that she does with her incredible skills.” Each season Perry paints a portrait for each member of the Eagles team, and the players are always at a loss for words when she delivers them. “I got one last year in the playoffs,” said forward Julien Nantel, who played on the team last year while in the ECHL. “It’s very nice, she’s (a) very good artist. I have (the portrait) hanging in my home, and my parents really love it.” Word of Perry’s work spread to the big league with players in the NHL inquiring about her artwork. She painted a portrait of the NHL’s Benn brothers, Jamie and Jordie Benn, and has
done work featuring other NHL alumni. It usually takes Perry a few weeks to complete one of her portraits, she then coordinates with McGlue to drop them off to the players, usually during a weekday practice. “Phyllis will usually come by our office and she’ll have 2-3 paintings,” McGlue said. “At that point I usually ask her if she’ll come to practice with them, because I wanna make sure the guys get an opportunity to say thank you to her in person. We get the first look at those paintings when they’re done. Every time we look at (them) it’s just jaw-dropping to see how incredibly talented she is and how impressive the paintings are.” Perry’s work never fails to put smiles of the face’s of Eagles
players and staff members. Fans like Perry are the driving force behind every great organization; individuals who go a step above when it comes to supporting the team. Passion and undying support are what Eagles Country is known for, and Perry is a perfect embodiment of what it means to be a good person and a true fan. “We’re really lucky to have her here,” McGlue said. “I know the players are excited, and they’re blown away when they see the finished product. They’re not really expecting it, some of the guys are hoping for it once they see that they come. For somebody to have that skill and share it with the team that they love is a real blessing for us.” Ryan Loberger can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Jessica Jarecki earns 3rd Mountain West Pitcher of the Week By Junior Guerrero @juniorg45
Junior pitcher Jessica Jarecki gets to add another accolade during her time at Colorado State. Jarecki earned her third Mountain West Pitcher of the Week Honors Wednesday. This is the seventh team award this season. The Rams are coming off a great home win against Northern Colorado Tuesday. They played great as of late, winning five of their last six games, four of which were conference games. The Rams’ stellar pitching is one of the main reasons why the team is successful this season. Their rotation keeps opponents off the board and gives the lineup a chance to produce runs. Jarecki dominates opposing teams when she’s in the circle. The pitcher allowed just one run in 12 innings over the weekend. She finished with an ERA of 0.58 and a 2-0 record. She went the distance in both of her starts and even managed to shutout Nevada in one them.
She also struck out a total of 10 batters and only gave up two walks. She held her opponents to a mediocre .209 batting average. Saying that Jarecki had a great week would be an understatement. Her pitching has been lights out, which is much needed for the Rams.
MORE INFORMATION ■ The Rams will host San Diego
State for game one of their last home series of the season Friday at 4 p.m. Game two will be Saturday at 1 p.m. and Sunday at 12 p.m.
The Rams are going to be a tough team to beat if Jarecki continues to pitch the way she has. The trio of Bridgette Hutton, Jarecki and Taylor Gilmore is something that teams aren’t excited to see. This three-headed monster looks to lead the way in the seven remaining games for the Rams. Junior Guerrero can be reached at sports@collegian. com.

DENVER NUGGETS
Nuggets take 3-2 lead after Game 5 win over San Antonio By Duvalier Johnson Mile High Sports
The Denver Nuggets went into Tuesday night’s Game 5 with newfound confidence after defeating the San Antonio Spurs in Saturday’s game by a score of 117-103. It was essentially a must-win game to avoid going down 3-1 in the series. With the win, Denver took back home-court advantage and headed back to the Pepsi Center for a pivotal Game 5 with the hopes that they could duplicate the success that they had in Game 4. Denver did just that as they put together arguably their best defensive performance of the entire postseason to win 108-90 and take a 3-2 lead in the series with the chance to clinch in San Antonio on Thursday. With that, I give you the good, great and awesome. Good – First quarter change Going into Tuesday night’s game, one of the biggest issues that Denver was having in the playoffs was the way that they were starting out games. “I think it is important for us to win the first quarter, but not only to match the intensity and their aggressiveness, but exceed it,” Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said prior to a pivotal Game 5 matchup at home. “We have to come out with a hit-first mentality once again and hopefully that allows us to win the first quarter.” Denver had not won an opening quarter in the series and that changed on Tuesday as Denver put on a defensive clinic which trans-
lated to success on the offensive end as well. Gary Harris put his stamp in this game in the opening quarter as he raced out to a quick eight points on 3-5 shooting. As great as he started on offense, his defense is what really stood out. Harris played solid on-ball defense as he limited Derrick White’s touches yet again. He got out and deflected a few passes and also rotated well in help-side defense. He made things as difficult as he could in the opening quarter which ended up becoming a theme for the entire game. Denver capitalized on the defensive end and came out ready to battle. They gave maximum effort early and often. It was clear early on in the night that this would be a game that the Nuggets would be amped for and ready to dominate from the opening tip. Denver finally won an opening quarter and they did so authoritatively by a score of 26-19. They came out ultra-aggressive which opened things up for the Nuggets for the rest of the game. After the first quarter, they did not look back as they pushed their lead as high as 30 points. Great – Defending White In the Spurs’ two wins in the series, one of the biggest reasons has been the remarkable play of Colorado-born point guard Derrick White. He had been playing sensationally and was looking like an early M.V.P. candidate for the first few games after outplaying Murray on both ends of the court. White’s defense was incredible, he made plays for others and
was a downhill runner that was getting buckets at will. White finished with 16 points in Game 1, 17 points in Game 2 and announced himself to the big stage in Game 3 when he had his best game of the series as he exploded for a career-high 36 points. But in Game 4, Malone made some adjustments to the starting lineup as a result and White has not looked like the same since. Instead of Murray defending White, Malone decided to place Gary Harris on the second-year guard. “I think to be a good defensive player you have to take pride in it,” Malone said after Game 5. “It is something that you study in your matchups, know their tendencies, but also something that you have to take pride in and say, ‘I am going to win my matchup’. “Gary on Derrick White obviously was a huge difference from Game 3 to 4.” Harris again shut White down as the Spurs guard went into the fourth quarter with only three points before Denver took their starters out of the game. White did however get himself going a bit in the fourth quarter as Gregg Popovich elected to stick with his young point guard to attempt to regain his confidence and he responded by finishing with nine points in the quarter alone to give him 12 points on the night but for most of the game. It was a great defensive effort by Denver yet again as Harris had himself a vintage night as he continues to look more like himself with each minute he spends on the floor.

Awesome – One game away The Nuggets did not start out the series the way they wanted after dropping Game 1 and that created many doubters. Still, Denver stayed the course, believed in themselves and have fought back to completely flip the script. With Tuesday’s win, the Nuggets are in a prime position to end this series and advance to the next round. With a 3-2 lead and homecourt advantage, Denver has made it so they have the opportunity to win the series so long as they win one of the final two games of the series.
San Antonio is a place that has not been kind to Denver for the last decade, but if Game 4 showed anything, it is that the Nuggets can indeed win in at the AT&T Center. San Antonio will come out pumped and determined to fight and push the series to a Game 7 where anything can happen. Denver will have to dig deep if they plan on pulling out yet another victory in a hostile environment with the season on the line or what Jokic referred to as to as, “The toughest game of our lives.” Content pulled from Mile High Sports.
COLORADO ROCKIES
Rockies defeat Nationals, end another victorious series By Duvalier Johnson Mile High Sports
The Colorado Rockies defeated the Washington Nationals Wednesday afternoon, 9-5, to wrap up their seven-game homestand on a positive note. The Rockies went 5-2 over the seven games and managed to find their footing after a rough start to the season. Ahead are takeaways from the victory. Murphy makes his return Rockies’ first baseman Daniel Murphy made his return to the diamond Wednesday afternoon against his former team after missing a majority of the season with a broken left index finger. After a handful of at-bats down in Triple-A with the Albuquerque Isotopes, Murphy was productive
for Colorado at the dish by recording a hit, driving in a run and working a walk. Manager Bud Black opted to slide Murphy into the three-hole of the Rockies’ lineup, a move that proved to be worthwhile as Colorado’s offense did a fantastic job of stringing hits together, collecting 12 in the game. The addition of Murphy into the lineup will allow the Rockies to be more versatile offensively and also breaks up the glut of power the club has. A pure hitter with gap-to-gap power, Murphy will provide balance to Colorado’s offense moving forward. Murphy is a proven commodity at the plate and has been one of the most consistent hitters in the game over the past few years. A three-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger Award winner at second base, Murphy’s return will
help stabilize the Rockies offense moving forward. Chuck stays hot Charlie Blackmon has started to heat up recently and continued his success at the plate Wednesday afternoon, blasting a solo home run in the fourth inning of the game. The home run was good for his 612th career run scored, surpassing Vinny Castilla for the sixth most in franchise history. Blackmon was the hottest hitter on the Rockies homestand, posting a .388 batting average over the stretch. Additionally, Blackmon has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games and is riding an eight-game hitting streak. Tapia is starting to make a name for himself Outfielder Raimel Tapia has put together a solid performance in each of the Rockies last four
games. After blasting home runs in three consecutive games, Tapia followed up Wednesday by collecting a pair of hits, including a bases-clearing double that pushed the Rockies ahead 4-3 in the bottom of the third inning. Known for his hitting when coming up through the Rockies’ minor league system, Tapia has logged hits in 14 of his last 18 games, batting .320 in that span. Marquez powers through struggles Starting pitcher German Marquez did not have his best stuff on the mound Wednesday. The flamethrower lacked command from the onset, surrendering three runs through the first three innings. Marquez’ struggles started in the second inning when he allowed a leadoff double to Matt Adams. Marquez later allowed a
double to Jake Noll which scored Adams, establishing a 1-0 lead for Washington. The struggles for Marquez carried over into the third inning where he allowed a two-run home run to youngster Juan Soto, extending the Nats lead to 3-0. Luckily for Marquez, the Rockies offense bailed him out, managing to post four runs in the bottom half of the third. Pitching with a lead, Marquez buckled down on the mound and helped solidify the Rockies’ victory, logging seven innings, allowing three runs on eight hits and striking out seven. The frontman of the Rockies rotation was noticeably off his game but managed to battle through his struggles, a major positive for the club. Content pulled from Mile High Sports.

Hotel Hillcrest hosts first annual 4/20 art show By Miles Parrish
IS NOW AT
calendar.scenenoco.com SCENENOCO.COM/CALENDAR
@parrishm20
Since debuting in October, Hotel Hillcrest has become one of the emerging venues for local musicians to perform. For this year’s 4/20, however, they hosted something a bit different than usual. Since their first event on Oct. 26, 2018, Hillcrest has hosted nine events; this year’s 4/20 being the 10th. The venue, a simple house in a Fort Collins neighborhood, is mainly run by roommates Joe Wood and Max Roesler with the help of volunteers. Though it is typically known for its live performances that take place in the home’s twocar garage, Hillcrest took a different approach this past Saturday. Instead of hosting a concert, they instead hosted an art show compiled of artists from all over Fort Collins.
“We put this space together for the community, and in the end the community wanted it, needed it, appreciates it and wants to be a part of this” JOE WOOD DIRECTOR OF HOTEL HILLCREST
The show included drawings, paintings, poetry, sculpture and almost any other style of art that you can think of. The house’s living room and hallway were filled with miniature galleries,ww one of which included skateboard decks repurposed into their own pieces of expression. The house’s garage, which typically hosts live music acts instead hosted a wall of poetry as well as statues. The event was extremely enjoyable from start to finish.

Not long after its start time of 6 p.m., the house was packed with people from all around Fort Collins who came to visit the show. It stayed that way until late into the night. Although the event was a great success for Wood and Roesler, the two give most of their thanks to the arts community of Fort Collins, as well as the supportive relationship they have built between each other. “What makes this place important and what makes this place special is the people that come,” Wood said. “If nobody wanted to be a part of it and nobody came, then there’s no point.” Out of the approximately 30 artists showcased Saturday, only two of them are professionals with pieces in galleries, according to Wood and Roesler. “There’s a big need for creatives to get their stuff out there, and they don’t really have an outlet to do it,” Roesler said. Hotel Hillcrest is how Wood and Roesler provide creatives with an outlet. Artists who have not had the experience of putting their work on display were given their first opportunity to
do so. Wood and Roesler have come to view the relationship between them and the community as one big family that they get to host. “We put this space together for the community, and in the end the community wanted it, needed it, appreciates it and wants to be a part of this,” Wood said. The two hope to host more events like the art show as they continue to schedule and host shows at the house; citing a plan to possibly host another art show at the beginning of the next fall semester. Until then, a show is currently planned for Thursday, May 25 for Fort Collins band, Slow Caves, who just recently released their debut album, “Falling” March 22. To attend a show, one can find the Hotel Hillcrest on Instagram, and message them to receive the address for the show. As the venue takes on more art forms, they plan to expand the plethora of exciting events they have in store for the future. Miles Parrish can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

Hari Kondabolu delivers serious comedy for APIDA Heritage Month By Ty Davis @tydavisacw
The Asian-Pacific American Cultural Center hosted comedian Hari Kondabolu Wednesday night in the Lory Student Center Theatre as part of their Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Heritage Month, which is also known as Asian-Pacific Heritage Month. Colorado State University celebrates Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month in April to prevent overlap with finals and allow students to attend the events. According to the Asian Pacific American Institute of Congress Studies, in 1977 two bills were introduced to dedicate the first part of May to Asian and Pacific groups’ heritage. Originally the celebration only lasted a week but was extended to a full month in 1992. Assistant director of APACC Vani Narayana said Kondabolu was asked to perform due to his ability to talk about issues of race and nationality.
“I loved it. He brought up a lot of topics that aren’t necessarily talked about, and I think fusing comedy was a great way to bring it to light.” AHJINA HOPKINS COMMUNICATIONS MAJOR
“He’s just been gaining a lot of following and is really popular as a comedian, but addresses a lot of social justice issues in a really intelligent and funny way,” Narayana said. The event opened with the acknowledgment that CSU was built on land previously belonging to Cheyenne, Arapaho and Ute people. Despite Kondabolu’s popularity, the theater was mostly empty. Those in attendance were a mixture of guests and students from the APACC. The small turnout did not deter Kondabolu who quickly joked

about the small crowd. Over the course of Kondablu’s set, he discussed everything from people mispronouncing his name, his parents coming to America, treatment of immigrants in America, class, his time in London and gun violence, to white depictions of Jesus, President Donald Trump, Christmas and mental health. Despite the serious subject matter, Kondabolu frequently had the audience cackling. “This was my first time seeing him, it was a pretty unique perspective that I haven’t seen too often,” audience member
Tyler Moss said. Kondabolu is a political comedian from Queens, New York. Kondabolu has written for numerous shows, appeared on and co-hosted numerous podcasts like “Politically Reactive with W. Kamau Bell,” appeared on late night shows like Conan and Jimmy Kimmel and had his own one-hour Netflix special “Warn Your Relatives” in 2018. Kondabolu has recently been making waves for his comedic take on social topics like race, nationality and white supremacy. “I loved it. He brought up a
lot of topics that aren’t necessarily talked about, and I think fusing comedy was a great way to bring it to light,” junior communication studies major Ahjina Hopkins said. Kondabolu made headlines in 2017 with the release of his TruTV documentary “The Problem with Apu,” an exploration of poor and stereotypical portrayals of Indian and SouthAsian people. The documentary explores the topic of representation by using “The Simpsons” Apu as an emblematic figure for Hollywood’s aggressive attitude toward South-Asian people.
Kandabolu not only discussed the real world ramifications of poor representation, but also included interviews from celebrities like Aziz Ansari and Kal Penn about their experiences with stereotyping and micro-aggressions. The documentary sparked a widespread conversation about inappropriate representation, leading to a rebuttal from “The Simpsons,” a public apology by the voice actor for Apu, Hank Azaria, and the announcement the character would be retired.

Britney Spears strikes back at rumors surrounding her recent health struggles By Nardine Saad Los Angeles Times
Britney Spears has set the record straight about her health, shutting down “out of control” rumors and shedding light on the “stress and anxiety” that have ensnared her family. “All is well,” she said in a video posted Tuesday, adding that she’ll “be back very soon.” The 37-year-old pop star recently checked into a mental health facility after supporting her father and the rest of her family through his ongoing health struggles, which included a second surgery. She popped back online this week to address rumors, death threats to her family and team, and “so many crazy things” that have been swirling around her since then. There’s even been a #freeBritney hashtag on social media. “My situation is unique, but I promise I’m doing what’s best at this moment,” she said. “You may not know this about me, but I am strong, and stand up for what I want! Your love and dedication is amazing, but what I need right now is a little bit of privacy to deal with all the hard things that life is throwing my way. If you could do that, I would be forever grateful.”

“I am trying to take a moment for myself, but everything that’s happening is just making it harder for me,” she added in the video’s caption. The “... Baby One More Time” singer told fans not to believe everything they read and hear, particularly emails that “were crafted by Sam Lutfi years ago” that she didn’t write. Spears said Lutfi, the estranged manager linked to her 2008 breakdown, had pretended to be the singer and communicat-
ed with her team with a fake email address. Spears put her planned Las Vegas show “Domination” on hold late last year after her dad’s colon ruptured and he spent a month in the hospital. She canceled the show altogether in January. Spears’ father has been the pop star’s conservator since 2008 following her very public mental-health breakdown. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.
