City, residents respond to ongoing Hughes Stadium redevelopment By Dorina Vida @simply_she_

Hughes Stadium and the land surrounding it is up for redevelopment by the City of Fort Collins after Colorado State University sold it to a developer, but the development process is still ongoing. CSU sold the 61-acre property to Lennar Colorado LLC, a national developer that specializes in home construction and mort-

gage financing, for $10 million with the intention of utilizing the land to develop affordable-housing communities, The Collegian previously reported in February, following the Board of Governors’ announcement of the land being sold. At a total of 161 acres including surrounding land, the area is planned to support 600 to 700 homes, all varying in design and capacity, according to a Board of Governors’ press release sent to

The Collegian. “The former Hughes Stadium site has been annexed into the City, and the applicant/developer will submit an application for Development Review with the City,” said Sylvia Tatman-Burruss, a specialist on public engagement for the City of Fort Collins. “The details of that process are not yet known, as the applicant has not yet submitted a formal application to the City.” Tatman-Burruss said once

the developer submits the application, multiple variations of the development plan will undergo review prior to being allowed to proceed and go before the Planning and Zoning Board. The land also needs to be re-zoned prior to development, which includes multiple public hearings with the Planning and Zoning Board and the City Council, Tatman-Burruss said. These dates have not yet been set. During a neighborhood meet-

ing April 4 at the Drake Center, the City invited individuals who live in that area and would be affected by the development to hear from the potential developers as well as representatives for the City. At this meeting, details were presented on the situation as well as answers to questions and comments made by citizens on the topic of land use and plans for development.

CSU Ventures educates faculty on accessible technology By Dorina Vida @simply_she_

Colorado State University aims to further implement inclusivity into their curriculum through technology that allows students with disabilities access to alternative means of technological learning wrote Todd Headley, president of CSU Ventures, in an email to The Collegian. CSU Ventures, the technology commercialization agent for the University, started in 2006 as a part of the CSU Research Foundation. Since its formation, CSU Ventures has seen an increase in student and commercial participation. CSU Ventures licenses software and other such programs that are the intellectual property of the University that can be commercialized, Headley wrote. Educational videos made by and for CSU are uploaded to their online store, providing other institutions access to collegiate-level learning materials.

“We realized that there is a gap, and the gap is that you need people to tell the story about why this is important. So we thought if we could do storytelling, faculty and administrators and staff, and maybe other students, understand why this is important.” MARLA ROLL ASSISTANT PROFESSOR AND DIRECTOR OF THE ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY RESOURCE CENTER

“Their role is to move technology and discoveries out of the university into the marketplace,” Headley wrote. “Currently, we receive roughly double/triple the number of invention disclosures, license agreements, startups, etc.” Headley wrote that he be-

Colorado State University Ventures, the technology commercialization agent for the University, works to share educational videos created by CSU faculty to provide other institutions with access to learning materials. Recently, the program has taken on a focus in providing materials that are accessible for all learners, including disabled students. COLLEGIAN FILE PHOTO

lieved a reason for the participation increase is a greater awareness for the lack of — and need for — accessibility to technology. “Traditionally, CSU Ventures has been more heavily into patent based licensing and commercialization,” Headley wrote. “Software and program kind of things that can be delivered in a different way is something we’ve been thinking about.” In 2018, CSU Ventures took on a whole new project that sent them down a path of inclusivity, said Marla Roll, an assistant professor and director of the Assistive Technology Resource Center. Roll enlisted the aid of CSU

Ventures to spread awareness on how necessary it is that students with disabilities have access to equal learning materials to their classmates. Roll said she realized that it is equally important that the University is aware of the needs of these individuals, their rights as students and how to better create an inclusive environment for them. “We realized that there is a gap, and the gap is that you need people to tell the story about why this is important,” Roll said. “So we thought if we could do storytelling, faculty and administrators and staff, and maybe other students, understand why this is important.”

Roll said through the videos created by CSU Ventures, faculty, staff and students may be finally able to better understand that not all students read the same or process information the same. While Roll and her team did attempt to hold presentations for faculty and administrators to educate them on the needs of students with disabilities, a lack of appearance and participation made them realize that they had to get their message across a different way, Roll said. Roll and her team collaborated with CSU Ventures to create a series of videos, funded and marketed by CSU Ventures, to explain how and why stu-

dents with disabilities require alternative means of learning. Through intimate storytelling with affected students, Roll said her team and CSU Ventures were able to establish that connection between professors and the students they teach. By placing the videos on the CSU Ventures store, other learning institutions have purchasable access to this material with the intention that this will raise awareness on the issue of inclusion and how inclusivity includes disability, Roll said. “This isn’t an issue just on our campus, this is an issue across higher ed,” Roll said.

Trinity College student leaders reject application of controversial club By Neil Vigdor Los Angeles Times

Trinity College student leaders rejected a request by the Churchill Club for recognition as a campus organization Monday, responding to a flurry of student and faculty complaints about the group. The Student Government Association announced its decision in an email to students and faculty at the liberal arts school in Hartford, where there have been mounting political and racial tensions. The club had been seeking to become the first campus chapter of the Churchill Institute, a controversial 3-year-old organization based in Hartford and led by Trinity political science professor Gregory B. Smith, who has been criticized for referring to on-campus cultural houses for African American, Asian American, Latino, Muslim and Jewish students as “tribal enclaves.” The Churchill Institute is “dedicated to the preservation, dissemination and extension of the Western moral and philosophical tradition.” The group is named for Winston Churchill, the British statesman whose legacy of fortitude during World War II is clouded by his history of racist remarks. “Many students from a wide

variety of communities within our campus have come forward to share their discomfort with this club being approved,” wrote Lexi Zanger and Trinna Larsen, the respective vice president and president-elect of the Student Government Association. “The Churchill Club has, during the process of requesting approval, referred to members of the community in degrading terms, including but not limited to calling concerned students ‘militant.’” A request for comment was left Monday for representatives of the Churchill Institute. In a letter sent the day before the student government deliberations, more than 40 faculty members raised concerns about the rhetoric and purpose of the Churchill Institute. “The website explicitly promotes the superiority of ‘Western’ ideas and civilization, a position that often accompanies the demeaning and devaluing of other ways of knowing,” the letter said. “Students have expressed concern that the Institute, named after a known racist, imperialist and white supremacist, and the bellicose claim that Western Civilization is ‘under attack,’ reinforces the daily marginalization of many students on campus.” The letter went on to say, “The Churchill Institute claims that its members’ political views

are being policed by students, faculty and administrators. However, an uncritical celebration of Western civilization perpetuates its own intellectual, cultural, and racial exclusions — ones laden with a long history of power asymmetries and violence.”

“ Of course issues concerning race are challenging on our campus. Are they any less challenging elsewhere in American society? This is a challenging moment on our campus and, as we see daily in other reports, on campuses across the country.” JOANNE BERGER SWEENEY TRINITY PRESIDENT

The school’s administration had previously recommended that student leaders delay voting on the application until the fall so the college could bring in a consultant to examine the situation, but the SGA went ahead with its deliberations Sunday night.

CPW investigation into CSU professor’s research concludes By Laura Studley @laurastudley_

Colorado Parks and Wildlife services closed their investigation on Gregory Ebel, issuing him a citation for the illegal possession of wildlife on April 25. A CPW press release indicated that Dr. Ebel’s scientific collection license issued by the state was suspended on April 22. Jason Clay, CPW public information officer, sent an email to The Collegian April 10 confirming there was an ongoing investigation of the CSU professor. The organization issued a $208 fine to Ebel for five crows. CPW also gave Ebel a warning on the 32 additional crows he had in his laboratory. “Given the violations that did take place, a citation was issued for the wrongdoing. Rules and regulations must be followed, but we will continue to work with CSU faculty to obtain the proper permit to allow this important research to continue,” said Area Wildlife Manager Ty Petersburg

in the press release. According to the press release, “Dr. Ebel, in 2018, did not apply for a scientific collection permit with the state to possess animals. That came in a year when he had collected crows to be used in his study, and where the violation occurred.” “(Fining Ebel for five crows) was determined after the investigation as the penalty to be enforced,” Clay wrote. “Also, it was not his lab given a warning, it was the individual. Scientific collection permits are issued out to an individual, not a group or organization or university.” Consequently, another CSU faculty member could apply for a permit to allow this research project to continue. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals filed a complaint with CPW against Ebel in the fall of 2018 due to a tip received stating that Ebel was keeping wild caught crows in his laboratory. In a previous University statement, Dell Rae Ciaravola,

CSU crisis, safety and risk manager, said Ebel’s research was to further understand how viruses like West Nile emerge and the impact of the environmental change that surrounds the behavior and spread of these viruses. “His work focuses on trying to understand the evolutionary and population genetics of how viruses such as West Nile emerge. How these viruses behave and spread is an increasingly common concern (and a problem we want to better understand) due to environmental change, the rise of tropical megacities and increases in global travel and trade,” Ciaravola wrote in a previous statement. “Upon investigation, this case appears to be one of an administrative oversight, not an intentional violation,” Petersburg said in the release. “We are supportive of the academic research Colorado State is conducting with this human health and safety project. Laura Studley can be reached at news@collegian.com.

“Of course issues concerning race are challenging on our campus. Are they any less challenging elsewhere in American society?” Trinity President Joanne Berger-Sweeney wrote in an op-ed Monday published in The Hartford Courant. “This is a challenging moment on our campus and, as we see daily in other reports, on campuses across the country.” It’s been a turbulent month at the college, where a longtime political science professor Johnny Eric Williams tweeted on Easter that “whiteness is terrorism” and referred to Barack and Michelle Obama as “white kneegrows.” Williams took a paid leave of absence in 2017 after making racially charged social media posts, which drew death threats and led to the rescinding of $200,000 in donations to the college. The black professor was slammed by conservative commentators, including Tucker Carlson, a Trinity graduate and Fox News host. Student government leaders said in their rejection letter Monday that the Churchill Club had been heavy-handed. “The adviser of the Churchill Club has threatened members of the Trinity College student body with legal action, curbing the rights of those students to exhibit free speech,” Zanger and Larsen wrote. Despite not being sanctioned as an official campus organi-

zation, the group is still free to organize and discuss “Western Philosophy,” the rejection letter said. Coleman McJessy, a freshman who is involved in the Trinity College Democrats, applauded the move. “I’m pleased that the Student Government Association listened to the concerns of the campus community and rejected the Churchill Club and their rhetoric,” McJessy said. “It’s certainly a step in the right direction.” SGA leaders said the schism on campus goes beyond the Churchill Club and its application for recognition, however. “We would also like to recognize that the divide in our community cannot be attributed to the Churchill Club, these issues are part of a greater discussion that needs to be had in order to bring our community together,” the letter said. “As we approach next semester, the SGA aims to play an active role in addressing the larger issue of campus climate our campus faces. We appreciate the contributions and support of our fellow students as we strive to do so, and we look forward to continuing these conversations with the common goal of making this campus an inclusive and diverse home for us all.” Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

mately 40% of the land will remain open space. A City representative also stated that the transaction of land is primarily between CSU and the developer, with limited involvement by the City. While City staff attempted to answer these questions, the preliminary status of the situation made it difficult for many of the questions to be answered, said Cameron Gloss, the City project manager. Gloss said that much of the necessary information required to address these concerns has yet to be collected, making it difficult for the right information to be given to the general public. “They hire a traffic engineer to conduct a traffic study, which is a very important part of their application. They have not done that yet,” Gloss said. “So, until they have that, it’s difficult to talk about traffic at meetings without having done some of that analysis.” Gloss said future neighborhood meetings and public information sessions are being planned, but dates have yet to be assigned. “You really have to have the voice of citizens working collaboratively,” Gloss said. “You know, I just cannot stress it enough that it’s so early in the process that people should be encouraged to be involved every step of the way.” Dorina Vida can be reached at news@collegian.com.

In following the required public process with the City of Fort Collins, Lennar will have opportunities for public input, like public comment and information sessions, in order to share their ideas on how the property can best be used, according to the release. According to the meeting notes found on the City of Fort Collins’ website, many concerns were voiced at the neighborhood meeting by local residents. “Why can’t the whole site be open space?” and “How will this project impact traffic on (West Drake Road), Prospect (Road) and Elizabeth (Street)?” were some of the many critical questions asked by concerned residents attending the neighborhood meeting, along with others about the land’s potential housing development and overall use, according to the recorded meeting notes.

Fetishizing people of color isn’t a compliment, so don’t act like it is Leta McWilliams @LetaMcWilliams

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. Names have been left anonymous in this article to protect the identity of our source. Micro-aggressions are, unfortunately, something all too common for people of color, especially on this campus. People of color often speak of the subtle ways they deal with racism, but what about the ways that seem like a compliment — telling someone you like them for their race/ skin color/culture isn’t racist, right? Wrong. Fetishization is a completely different monster. It’s a micro-aggression disguised as a compliment, and it’s the most common micro-aggression I’ve seen in my experience at Colorado State University. According to Homi Bhabha’s “The Other Question: The Stereotype and Colonial

Discourse,” racial fetishization can be defined as “fetishizing a person or culture belonging to a race or ethnic group.” Fetishization isn’t just acknowledging someone’s race but fixating on it, novelizing it and making it the only part of their identity considered. There’s the basic kind, like describing a Black man as a BBC, assuming an Asian woman is going to be submissive or saying you have jungle fever. But it can be significantly less obvious with the same, equally demoralizing emotional consequences. Being a white woman, I’ve only seen this micro-aggression when I’m with a POC. The frequency this happens is disgusting; I see it happen frequently when I am around, and it happens just as frequently when I’m not. Ami Ronvelia, an Indian student at CSU, has been fetishized because of her ethnicity. “When I started dating my ex, he would talk about his exes and how he hadn’t dated many girls of color,” Ronvelia said. “Then I asked, ‘What are you trying to say? Do you have a type or what?’ He responded with something like ‘I have a thing for colored women, es-

NOPE

pecially Indian girls.’ He then went on to say that he finds us different and exotic.” Calling a woman exotic because she isn’t white isn’t flattering in any way; it’s objectifying. Racial fetishization isn’t a compliment — the comments aren’t out of admiration or adoration — it’s racism.

“Fetishization is a completely different monster. It’s a microaggression disguised as a compliment by the aggressor, and it’s the most common micro-aggression I’ve seen in my experience at Colorado State University.” I’ve been in social settings many times with Ronvelia, where people ask her “Where are you from?” She proceeds to tell them she’s from Colorado, and they ask “Where are you really from?” as if somewhere in the U.S. isn’t enough. Ronvelia is constantly

complimented on her dark hair, her thick eyebrows and her dark skin. More than once, people have asked me “Who’s your hot, dark friend?” Those comments aren’t about her beauty alone but her beauty in correlation with her skin color. There’s a difference between attraction and fetishization. Attraction is being drawn to someone because of some of their features, their interests or their personality. Fetishization, specifically in regards to race, is being attracted to a person solely because of one thing: their skin color. By fixating on someone’s skin color, they’re being othered in a sexual way. Sure, everyone has physical preferences in regards to romantic partners. However, there’s a big difference in saying “I like green eyes” and “I like a nice, chocolate man.” One is a characteristic, the other is part of their identity. Fetishization is commonly targeted toward women. Asian women are also big targets of racial fetishization. Even so, men can also be victims of racial fetishization. Eric, a male, Asian student at CSU who asked to remain anonymous, has been fetishized on multiple occasions.

“As an Asian male, the thing I got from past romantic partners were some weird and offbeat comments about how I’m rare or a novelty,” he said. “And that they are in a state of disbelief because they never pictured themselves hooking up with an Asian male.” Eric also discussed being compared to anime characters and friends who’ve received fetishizing and/or demoralizing messages on apps like Tinder and Bumble. “I know people who’ve received messages that say ‘knee how?’ which sounds like ‘ni hao,’ meaning hello in Mandarin, and when they are confused, the sender sometimes says something along the lines of, ‘I thought you’d know Chinese,’” he said. I’ve heard the claim “I’m not racist, I’ve slept with a Black person” more times than I can count. If that statement has come out of your mouth, you’re actually extremely racist no matter what your intention was. Fetishizing people because of their skin color is demoralizing and hurtful. Next time you give someone a physical compliment, keep their race out of it. Leta McWilliams can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Stop expecting an award for being an ally By Guest Author @CSUCollegian

to the

Editor

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. Letters to the Editor reflect the view of a member of the campus community and are submitted to the publication for approval. Dear Editor, Goddamn. I figured I’d start out with the word that has seemed to encapsulate my overall feelings toward the “liberal agenda” of today. Being a Black woman, moving through life in the plains and mountains of Colorado has been an interesting journey for me, with my understanding of social justice consistently growing and changing — given that Colorado simultaneously seems to be a state of progression and deterrence.

“As an ally, one must constantly ask themselves questions of where their voices fit in. Standing for a cause means knowing the context of the cause and the implications that come with attaching yourself to said cause.” When I chose years ago to be an ally for the LGBTQ+ community — a community I do not identify with — I knew it would involve self-reflection and correction of myself, my peers and any previously established agendas that disadvantage people within that community. Allyship is “an active, consistent and arduous practice of unlearning and re-evaluating, in which a person in a position of privilege and power seeks to operate in solidarity with a marginalized group,” as defined by The Anti-Oppression Network. Within this definition is a perceived selflessness; that self-

lessness has been lost in translation, especially to the liberal crowd. Want to get more specific? The straight, white liberal crowd that tends to feel like the majority at Colorado State University. What I’ve noticed through conversations with my privileged, self-identified liberal peers is that instead of an inward look into what their identities mean in correlation to the way they perceive activism, their definition of allyship still centers on their privileged identities in an attempt to bring the marginalized “to their level,” rather than diminishing the institutions that disadvantage them in the first place. Allyship to these individuals is another activity, another service or charity event with a definite conclusion. Surface-level, I’d say all of us would like to live our best lives and let others live theirs. Unfortunately, histories in the United States of America — along with institutions established as a result of those histories — prevent many from doing so. It’s easy to identify as an ally in this case. It’s a little more difficult to be one. Let’s get one thing straight: allyship does not earn the ally any privileges. Many people still believe that their allyship is a means of exchanges: “I’ll support you to make myself feel good. In exchange, stop saying how privileged I am, because it makes me uncomfortable. I’m trying to help you.” By not recognizing the prioritization of privileged identities such as white, straight, able-bodied, male, cis and many others, fake allies separate themselves from the issues and then end up essentially contributing to them. That being said, people do not get, will never get, cannot earn and should stop valuing this idea of a reward, a “cookie” for allyship. As an ally, one must constantly ask themselves questions of where their voices fit in. Standing for a cause means knowing the context of the cause and the implications that come with attaching yourself to said cause. When it comes to direct action against injustice, privileged liberals still hold hesitant, usually because it means a criticism of the identity that provides privileges for them, and the idea of “othering” or singling out that identity offends them. This automatic assumption that our differences are negative makes

these “allies” hesitate to even bring up those differences.

“Let’s get one thing straight: allyship does not earn the ally any privileges. Many people still believe that their allyship is a means of exchanges: ‘I’ll support you to make myself feel good. In exchange, stop saying how privileged I am, because it makes me uncomfortable. I’m trying to help you.’ By not recognizing the prioritization of privileged identities such as: ■ white ■ straight ■ able-bodied ■ male ■ cis ■ and many others, fake allies separate themselves from the issues and then end up essentially contributing to them.” This is why the concept of allyship in uneager, inactive hands means virtually nothing to those who are constantly living a life with actions against us, whether it’s social, economic, legislative, personal or otherwise. It’s 2019, and inequality still runs rampant in these 50 states. Good-heartedness may lead to better interactions, but change is essential to progress; progress only comes when those who have benefited from inaction decide that their benefits are not worth the marginalization of others. So, to the “allies” who expect recognition, praise and more for their stagnation, it’s time to toughen up; the movement isn’t waiting for you to get comfortable.

NCAA needs to follow own example, change NFL draft rules for players’ sake Sergio Santistevan @TheRealsSergio

The NCAA is often criticized for corruption, not paying players and their insane transfer rules, and rightfully so. But, after watching last weekend’s NFL draft, it became clear there is one rule worth applauding the NCAA for which has changed the way college basketball is played, and it has nothing to do with what goes on the court. Three years ago, the NCAA created a rule that allows players to enter the NBA draft, but withdraw their name 10 days after the NBA combine. This allows college basketball players to attend the combine, gain information from professionals on their game, work out with individual teams and go through interviews with pro teams. Any player who is invited to the combine and doesn’t get drafted now has the opportunity to return to school without losing any scholarship or sacrificing their college eligibility. This rule benefits underclassmen who are undecided on returning to school or gaining that elusive paycheck. It helps those

players get a good idea of where they will get selected, if at all. The NCAA even went a step further this year by allowing those players who declare for the draft to hire an agent as well. The agent can then pay for meals, transportation and lodging for the player and their family. After watching three days of the NFL draft it became clear that the NCAA needs to adapt the same rules for football. Of the 103 underclassmen that declared for the NFL draft, 29% went undrafted. Those players have or will sign contracts as undrafted free agents, which means less money. One of the most notable undrafted players was Colorado State standout wide receiver Preston Williams. Williams had an excellent year with the Rams, recording 96 catches for 1,345 yards and 14 touchdowns. Anybody who watched a CSU football game this season knew Williams was the best player on the field for the Rams. So, how did he go undrafted? Due to an off-the-field issue in 2014, Williams wasn’t invited to the combine. He wasn’t able to showcase his skills in front of the best scouts, and teams were potentially scared off because of his past behavior. see NCAA on page 12 >>

NCAA >> from page 11 Williams did sign an NFL contract immediately after the draft with the Miami Dolphins, and he received interest from 10 other teams. But, if given the chance, would Williams have returned to school to prove that he’s not that same person from 2014? After gaining evaluations from scouts and seeing that he was potentially projected to go undrafted, would Williams be preparing for the 2019 season with the Rams instead? Who knows. But it’s unfortunate that many players like Williams aren’t given a chance to control their own destiny. CSU men’s basketball center Nico Carvacho recently entered his name into the 2019 NBA draft. Carvacho will be able to gain essential information from scouts on how to improve his game going forward. There is a good chance Carvacho will return to CSU, and he will return a better player, knowing what he needs to work on. The same could have been said for Williams, but he wasn’t given that chance. If the NCAA really cares about their student athletes, they will look in the mirror and realize their football rules are depriving many young players a chance to better their lives and careers.

COLORADO AVALANCHE

Avs refuse to go down without a fight, steal Game 2 with gutsy performance in San Jose By Justin Michael Mile High Sports

The San Jose Sharks looked like they were going to be too much for the Colorado Avalanche to handle. Following a dominant showing on their home ice in Game 1, the Sharks came out just as strong Sunday night. San Jose skated with intensity, creating multiple early scoring opportunities on the offensive end. And on defense, the experienced squad looked impenetrable. So much so that the TV broadcast repeatedly referred to the Sharks defense as a “teal picket fence”. After controlling the possession for nearly the entire first period, the Sharks took a 1-0 lead into intermission. But even with it only being a one-goal game, San Jose’s dominance made the lead feel much larger. In the second period, everything changed. Not only were the Avs able to adjust on the offensive end, but more importantly they

showed a willingness to stand up and fight. Like Arya Stark in the Battle of Winterfell, the Avs told death, “not today”, and responded by completely flipping the momentum. With the top line of Gabe Landeskog, Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen reunited, the Avalanche were able to control the puck for the vast majority of the final 40 minutes. As a result, Colorado exploded on the offensive end for four goals in the final two periods. As impressive as the offensive output was, especially during the third period when the Avs were able to keep the puck in San Jose’s zone for minutes at a time, what really made Sunday’s victory impressive was Colorado’s tenaciousness. The Avs finished with more hits (28) and blocks (25). Colorado also successfully killed off two-of-three Sharks power play opportunities. Even when MacKinnon tallied the game-winning goal with 01:02 remaining in the third period, it was

Matt Calvert that made the play possible by sacrificing his body for the team. Calvert knew he was going to get blown up in the open ice, but he hung in there and delivered a perfect pass to MacKinnon, who then handled the rest. In the Stanley Cup Playoffs, when the margin for error is so slim and scoring chances are limited, committing to doing the little things on the ice can often be the difference. The Avs proved Sunday night that they’re not just a flashy offensive unit – they’re a scrappy group that’s willing to do whatever it takes to win. And with how Philipp Grubauer has looked in net over the past month, that should make the rest of the league real nervous. After splitting the first two games in San Jose, the Avs will return to the Pepsi Center for the next two. Game 3 starts at 8:00 p.m. MT and will be televised on NBC Sports Network.

MUSIC

Rico Nasty flips out on ‘Anger Management’ By Miles Parrish @parrishm20

Maryland rapper Rico Nasty released her fourth official project, “Anger Management,” this past Thursday on all platforms. It has proven to be one of the most short-tempered and explosive releases of 2019. “Anger Management” is a collaboration between Rico Nasty and producer Kenny Beats from Connecticut, who is responsible for the production of albums such as Vince Staples’ “FM!” and Freddie Gibbs’ “Freddie.”

Rico Nasty and Kenny Beats have been long time collaborators. Several songs off of Rico’s last release ,“Nasty,” were produced by Kenny. With a track record like the one that Rico and Kenny have, the announcement of “Anger Management” was one that captivated the interest of many. At nine songs totaling 18 minutes, “Anger Management” is short, but aims for quality over quantity. The first track, “Cold,” starts with a glitched out, robotic voice that asks the listener if they’re “tired of the same old thing.” Rico dives into the song out of nowhere and feverishly attacks the beat with the help of distorted 808s, provided by Kenny as she shouts “None of these bitches cold as me!” From the start, the pair grabs your attention. The following song, “Cheat Code,” which features guest

production from Baauer, sounds like Rico is chasing you down the hallway of the Overlook Hotel from Stephen King’s “The Shining.” She embraces a theme of horror with lines like “Pull up on your block with a mask like Jason.” The way Kenny Beats and Baauer embrace this theme and match it to Rico’s raspy lyrics, delivered like rounds of a machine gun, make this track one of the album’s highlights. Another highlight is the song “Big Titties” featuring Atlanta, Georgia’s EarthGang, comprised of rappers Johnny Venus and Doctur Dot. As horns blare over the hard-kicking bass, EarthGang and Rico deliver fast, playful verses. Lines such as “I’m a five-star guy, by far, you a sidebar / you a bounced check, I’m a swiped card,” from Dot and “I’m so supercalifragilisticexpialidocious / You wonder why your life

CONCERTS

One Flew West brings energy, punk attitude to FoCoMX gig By Joel Thompson @probably_joel

Hailing from Longmont, Colorado, the band One Flew West played at the Aggie Theatre as part of FoCoMX Saturday, April 27. The band blends folk and punk influences. Aggie Theatre’s large venue space offered enough room for their energetic and danceable sound. “They put on a really fun concert,” said audience member Karina Wilson. “My friends and I couldn’t stop dancing.” Nearly every song during the band’s 45-minute set had the crowd on their feet or banging their head to the beat. The performance was reminiscent of classic pop punk bands from the ’90s featuring a high energy show paired with moments of crowd interaction. Beach balls constantly flew from the crowd, nearly hitting the band on multiple occasions. Lead singer Linden Jackson directed the crowd, always jump-starting their participation. There was never a dull moment during One Flew West’s set. One of the bands best gimmicks was the inflatable tube men, the ones often seen outside of car dealerships, that danced along to the last song, “Trial and Error.” The crowd joyously joined the inflatable

men. The quality of the band’s musicianship continually surprised me. Every little thing a member did had a direct and exciting impact on the sound. The musicality of One Flew West is surprisingly deep, my initial expectations for the songs were often refuted, leading to unexpected turns and massively fun songs.

“They put on a really fun concert. My friends and I couldn’t stop dancing... I think I’ll be listening to them on repeat for the next few weeks” KARINA WILSON AUDIENCE MEMBER

One of the more interesting aspects of One Flew West is their combination of influences and the subject matter they cover. Most bands that take on a heavy pop influence tend to be repetitive; however, One Flew West reflects the opposite of this. Each song during their set took on a different mood, leading to a concert that kept the audience’s attention. The band’s lyrics were intoxicating to sing along to and ridiculously catchy. One Flew

West’s choruses find their way into your head and almost force you to sing along. The rawness of their punk and folk influences, in addition to their pop tendencies, create lyrics that are not only fun to sing, but have emotional resonance. The complexities and interplay of their vocals kept interest throughout the entirety of the set and helped the lyrics take their full effect. “I have one of their songs stuck in my head right now,” Wilson said after the concert. “All of their songs are easy to sing along with. I think I’ll be listening to them on repeat for the next few weeks.” The only lackluster part of the band’s performance was the lead acoustic guitar. It was often overshadowed by the other instruments. However, when the acoustic guitar was able to be heard, it added to the slight folk elements prevalent in their style. All in all, One Flew West put on an impressive concert that not only showed why they’re becoming an integral part of Colorado’s alternative music scene, but also showed their ability to keep the crowd entertained. Joel Thompson can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

sucks, it’s because you ain’t focused,” from Rico stand out. “Anger Management” continues to hit hard with songs like “Mood” featuring artist Splurge in which the two go back and forth bouncing off the threatening energy the pair give each other. As the album closes we are left with a much softer cut on “Again.” On this track, Rico takes on a different style while she sings about embracing her flaws and maintaining optimism as her career pushes forward. “I be high, I be gone, I be right, I be wrong / but I did it on my own, you dig?” she proclaims. This closing track feels like the end to a temper tantrum that we, as listeners, are first witnesses to, which makes the title “Anger Management” even more fitting. This album by Rico Nasty is one of my favorite releases to come out this year so far. The

length keeps things short and sweet, and Rico does not let up on her empowered, pissed off energy until the album reaches its closing minutes. Kenny Beats’ production does near-perfect service to this energy and it truly takes hold of the listener. The chemistry between rapper and producer heard on “Anger Management” shows why Rico has become one of the most captivating upand-coming artists to follow.

Banshee Tree mixes styles to great effect By Walker Discoe @wdiscoe

With a flurry of guitar riffs, drum smashes and notes from bass and fiddle players, Banshee Tree lit up the stage at The Colorado Room Friday night. Part of the FoCoMX performances from local bands continuing through the weekend, Banshee Tree electrified the crowd with a non-stop barrage of groovy R&B mixed with a healthy dose of funk. “I was seriously impressed by the lead guitar player,” said event attendee Jason Miller. “I’ve seen a lot of shows here, … but this one has been one of my favorites. To be honest I’m shocked I’ve never heard of (Banshee Tree) before.” The lead guitarist Thom LaFond certainly did impress with a near non-stop hail of notes in a signature warbly tone that led the ensemble but didn’t overpower it or drown out the other players. Drummer Michelle Pietrafitta was arguably the star of the show, providing constant and consistent musical cohesion that formed the bedrock on which the other instruments were able to come to light, giving bass player Jason Bertone the position he needed to provide a thumping, driving bassline behind the overall composition. “That solo the drummer did … was really impressive,” Miller said. “I feel like she was really putting a lot of energy into what

she was playing.” It was disappointing not hearing violin and fiddle player Nick Carter very much. At one point, there seemed to be a technical malfunction, and his contribution became washed out under the absolute might of the other instruments, even though it was obvious he was playing hard in an attempt to be heard. His contribution would have added an interesting dynamic to the performance that would have done much to set apart their performance from the dozens of other similar performances in swing throughout the evening.

“I’ve seen a lot of shows here … but this one has been one of my favorites.” JASON MILLER AUDIENCE MEMBER

Furthermore, there was a noticeable repetition between the different songs performed. While all were good, there were the expected songs about long dusty roads, women who had left and whiskey, all belted out in ballad form. It would have been more exciting to see some originality shine through, especially with the clear musical ability of the band. With such an energizing and cohesive

group of musicians, it’s clear to see where they could set themselves apart from the waves of similar bands by diversifying their sound and the contents of their lyrics. However, this didn’t make

the performance unenjoyable in any way. Banshee Tree was an utterly exciting band to see perform live, effortlessly blending rock, blues and funk into a cohesive package. Even in the cold, rainy

and dreary conditions in which they played, Banshee Tree kept the energy in the crowd high, putting a smile on the faces of concert-goers. Walker Discoe can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.
