CSU lost Old Main building to arson in spring of 1970

By Ravyn Cullor @RCullor99

On Wednesday, it will have been 49 years since Old Main, a fixture of the Colorado State University campus since the 1870s, was burned to the ground in a suspected arson case amid peaceful political protests.

The night of May 8, 1970, saw two structure fires on campus,

at both Old Main and the ROTC firing range building, according to archived copies of The Collegian. The fires followed two days of peaceful strikes and protests in reaction to President Richard Nixon’s decision to invade Cambodia during the Vietnam War and the shooting death of four students at Kent State.

The cost of rebuilding Old Main was estimated at $944,425

at the time, or $6.2 million today.

The fire at the ROTC firing range was put out quickly by a police officer and only caused an estimated $300 of damage (a value of nearly $2,000 in 2019 considering inflation), according to The Collegian.

Old Main, which was built in 1878-1879 and located off College Avenue south of Laurel Avenue, first set fire shortly before 11 p.m. and burned for two to five hours,

according to various reports in The Collegian. The fire reportedly started in the basement on the north side of the building, followed by several explosions, one of which was the gas line to the 91-year-old building.

A crowd of 3,000 watched while firefighters and students battling the flames were forced closer to the heat by low water pressure.

No one was killed in the blaze, but

it destroyed the building and left an estimated $500,000 of damage at the time, or $3.3 million today, according to Collegian reports.

That night, an estimated 800 students patrolled the campus and protected other buildings, including all 24 Army and Air Force ROTC cadets and a number of officers from the department.

Students, staff concerned as Clark renovations delayed without donors

By Dorina Vida & Laura Studley @CSUCollegian

Home to many departments, the Andrew G. Clark Building serves as a place of learning, working and asbestos.

Amid the renovation and construction on Colorado State University’s campus, students, faculty and staff have concerns about the state of Clark and when it will see an upgrade.

Asbestos was removed from both the A and B wings when new ceiling tiles, flooring and paint were added, but is still present in the C-wing, according to previous coverage from The Collegian.

While there is a myth that the presence of asbestos is toxic, it is only dangerous when broken down into a dust and inhaled, said Lynn Johnson, vice president of University Operations.

“I admit that sometimes when I have seen all of the building go on around our wing, I get a little jealous,” journalism and media communication assistant professor Michael Humphrey wrote in an email to The Collegian. “I know how a university builds and re-designs buildings is complex, and I just keep hoping our time will come at some point. I think the bigger issue is when students are considering our program versus others along the Front Range or beyond, our building is not an asset.”

Every August, a capital plan-

ning meeting is held with the President’s Cabinet and the Council of Deans to discuss the vision on the accommodations for students within their respective departments. University Facilities are usually involved to provide insight into the master planning activities decided on by the Master Planning Committee, who is tasked with monitoring and maintaining the state of the campus.

Johnson said the deans’ involvement in this process is to ensure that students’ academic needs are being met through the facilities provided, such as labs, classrooms and lecture halls.

The Facilities Condition Index is one of the factors used while considering renovation and indicates the quality of a building set by the Master Planner Fred Haberecht and the facilities department. The size, layout and amount of real estate that each building occupies are additional factors of determining the need for renovation or reconstruction.

Depending on donations, existing budget and the FCI rating, buildings are placed at different priority levels. The Nancy Richardson Design Center is an example of a donation-based construction. Seeing that there are no present donors, immediate dangers or a low FCI rating, Clark’s renovation has been postponed.

“The most recent planning I’ve got are looking at what we can do with (Clark, Glover and Engineering), and we have program planning committees that are looking

into those three spaces as well, trying to come up with if we were to able to increase the amount of square footage that’s within those spaces and what might that square footage look like,” Johnson said.

The condition of buildings including the Behavioral Sciences Building, Biology Building and the newly expanded Michael Smith Natural Resources Building have some students questioning why Clark has not been renovated.

buildings, the Lory Student Center and the Student Recreation Center all have independent budgets, meaning construction for one building does not impact other buildings.

Because of this separation, Aylesworth is being reconstructed into Meridian Village at no expense to Clark. The Morgan Library is able to build a new fireplace in the lobby from its own budget. There is no financial overlap between these budgets, because they are all independent.

But some improvements to Clark have been made over the past two years. The fire alarm systems in both the A and B wings were updated.

Johnson said she couldn’t give a solid time frame for renovations on Clark.

“Clark is definitely on our radar screen,” Johnson said. “Clark is definitely a building that is important to the University, and we will definitely be doing something.”

CSU buzzing for new pollinator project additions off Centre Avenue

By Laura Studley @laurastudley_

Sponsored by the Associated Students of Colorado State University and partnered with the horticulture department, the CSU Apiculture Club built four new beehives that will welcome new honey bees May 11.

The funding for these new hives was proposed by the Apiculture Club last fall. A total of $5,147 was placed on the project. This amount covered all transport costs, set up and supplies. There are six packages of European honey bees being brought to campus according to SOURCE. Said to be 5,000 bees and a single queen in each box, these bees and their hives will be located off Centre Avenue.

“This new location is going to be more of an education space,” said Freddie Haberecht, Apiculture Club president. “We’re going to have good plants for native pollinators as well as honey bees, and then we’re having some… space for people to walk around and learn with more hives.”

Mark Uchanski, horticulture

and landscape architecture associate professor at CSU, wrote in an email to The Collegian that the new location offers space that is far enough from people but still near campus. To house the bees, the location had to have certain attributes. The hives shouldn’t be too isolated and should still be accessible so students could take part in this educational outreach.

“If we want to make a difference with pollinators, we have to educate people about pollinators. A great way to do that is by having bee hives.”

FREDDIE HABERECHT PRESIDENT OF CSU APICULTURE CLUB

“With the construction of the relatively new Horticulture Center (late 2015) and accompanying outdoor research and educational

spaces, we had perfect match of location and accessibility,” Uchanski wrote. “Around the same time, the pedestrian underpass at Prospect and Centre was installed, making it easily walkable and safe for most students without needing a car.”

Not only will these bees produce honey and pollinate the gardens, but they will also provide a welcoming space to native Colorado bee species. The hives create a learning experience for beekeeping and the importance of bees.

“Bees are a really crucial part of the ecosystem,” Haberecht said.

“We have all these native bees interacting with plants and they’re declining in numbers. … (Bees) have really suffered from that urban encroachment. We want to promote this holistic idea of the urban environment, the urban ecosystem and make that healthy … and part of that is having bees.”

CSU is a bee-certified campus, and this certification helps with its environmental and sustainability efforts. By bringing more hives to campus, bees will be able to pollinate community gardens and produce honey for the dining halls, rather than buying honey from an

outside source.

“The hives are an asset to CSU since they can serve as pollinators for the new ‘Everybody Eats Gardens’ at Student Education Gardens,” Uchanski wrote. “So, if the students are growing tomatoes, squashes or watermelons, the bees will be there to help pollinate them so they produce fruits. They will be part of the garden system.”

According to SOURCE, the population within the beehive will grow anywhere from 5,000 to

25,000. Depending on the health of the hive, the growth could surpass the estimated 25,000 this summer.

If everything goes as planned, bees will be able to expand beyond their original garden.

“If we want to make a difference with pollinators, we have to educate people about pollinators,” Haberecht said. “A great way to do that is by having beehives.”

CAMPUS

Lack of state funding forces staff Old Main to pay for on-campus parking >> from page 1

By Corbin Reiter @CorbinReiter

For decades, faculty and staff have been expected to purchase parking passes each year due to a lack of state funding, according to Colorado State University representatives.

Depending on the parking needs of staff, parking passes can range in cost between $82 for a monthly pass to $600 for an annual pass, according to the faculty and staff parking permit instructions webpage.

Professors that do not visit the campus each day have alternate options in order to lower the cost for their parking. The lowest cost for a semester-long pass is $131, and it only allows parking on Tuesday and Thursday, according to the CSU website.

“Because parking must pay for itself, it’s important to note that finding other sources of revenue to fund parking would be a significant challenge,” wrote David Bradford, spokesperson for CSU Parking and Transportation Services, in an email to The Collegian.

Paying for parking is a costly service that staff must consider as a cost at the start of each academic year, journalism and media communication instructor Rob Reuteman wrote in an email to The Collegian.

However, the newly-added services from University Parking

have made this resource more accessible, wrote Public Safety and Risk Communications Manager Dell Rae Ciaravola, in an email to The Collegian.

“This semester, CSU started offering a (Monday-Wednesday-Friday) or (Tuesday-Thursday) parking pass for $200 a semester, so I bought one, since I teach on (Mondays and Wednesdays),” Reuteman wrote.

Parking Services has allowed for different passes to be purchased for different days during the week, Bradford wrote. These passes only count towards parking on Monday, Wednesday and Friday or on Tuesday and Thursday, but the cost is reduced.

The University uses methods such as flexible permitting in order to make sure students and staff are aware of the commuting options on campus, Ciaravola wrote.

“The University offers alternatives to driving and parking on campus to faculty, staff and students,” wrote Ciaravola. “These include personalized travel training and (consultation) to determine alternative transportation methods available to each individual.”

The University receives no state tax money to pay for parking, and as such, Parking Services must be able to cover their own costs, Ciaravola wrote. This prevents the University from offering

free parking to the professors that use these services.

Parking Services maintains approximately 10,000 spaces and two parking garages that allow for students and staff to park, wrote Bradford. As of March 2019, there were 4,000 active employee parking permits.

Permit revenue from parking not only funds maintenance for the preexisting lots and garages but also for more of the transportation infrastructure present at CSU, according to the University website. These fees contribute to the Around the Horn bus, as well as other alternative methods of transportation.

Having professors pay for parking is not a new idea. CSU employees have been expected to pay for parking since 1955, Bradford wrote.

The prices that employees are asked to pay for annual parking passes are only slightly less than the student prices, although many different alternatives are offered in order to help employees get to and from campus.

“I’ve been teaching at CSU for 8 1/2 years,” Reuteman wrote.

“Until this semester, I always parked off campus and walked or rode my bike into campus. $480 a semester was just too expensive for me.”

Corbin Reiter can be reached at news@collegian.com .

“I want to commend the students in the last several days,” Fort Collins Mayor Karl Carson said, following the fire, in a May 10, 1970 edition of The Collegian. “Through the cooperation of citizens, students and faculty members, we will rebuild from the ashes of this event.”

The fire at the ROTC firing range was definitively determined to be an act of arson, with a one-gallon Molotov cocktail found on the premises. Arson was also suspected for the Old Main fire, and the two were thought to be connected. Police believed the possible suspect or suspects were non-students, who reportedly said “something will burn on campus tonight,” according to the acting CSU Campus Security Police at the time, Lt. G. L. Emerine.

“I believe there is at least circumstantial evidence that this fire is the work of a sick person bent on attempting to shut the University through terrorist tactics,” said then-CSU President Adrian R. Chamberlain.

Despite the formation of a team, including CSU police and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, who investigated hundreds of leads in connection with the fire, no one was ever prosecuted, according to CSUPD historical information.

The Sunday after the fire, the American Legion marched in honor of the building, starting

at a war memorial which was located on Laporte Avenue, down College Avenue and to the ruins of Old Main.

A small copper box was also found at the cornerstone of Old Main, placed there by the Masons when the building was constructed, containing newspapers, a bible, bottles of seed samples and the laws of Colorado Agricultural College (CSU) and the state of Colorado, among other things.

A peace institute was proposed to take Old Main’s place on campus, but it was never built.

Show gratitude for education during finals week Abby Vander Graaff @abbym_vg

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.

With dead week upon us and finals approaching, it’s easy to focus on the negatives. Completing last assignments, looking for summer jobs and tying up loose ends for next semester has a way of overpowering whatever joy the end of the year may bring us.

In times like these, it is important to remember how lucky we are to be here. College is more than an experience or an opportunity — it is a privilege.

Consider Malala Yousafzai — shot by the Taliban because she

wanted to go to school — who now advocates for the 130 million girls who don’t get to go to school. In the United States, consider the Little Rock Nine, who bravely set the precedent for integration in public schools after Brown v. Board of Education outlawed school segregation in 1954.

While the efficiency of the American education system is debatable, there is no denying that we are lucky to have it. We are even luckier to attend college.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 86% of 25- to 34-year-olds with bachelor’s degrees were employed in 2017. In comparison to the 72% employed with a just a high school diploma and 57% employed who did not graduate from high school, our employment prospects look pretty good.

Even if we don’t graduate, we have a higher chance of employment than those who didn’t

attend college at all, with an 80% employment rate for those with some college education in their background.

“When school starts to feel terrible, remember why we are here, and remember those who have fought much harder for an education than we have.”

Those who attended college will also likely earn more money than those who did not. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that in 2017, workers with a bachelor’s degree earned more than the median weekly earnings for all workers, which was $907.

Beyond the numbers, college provides us with opportunities that we might not find elsewhere.

Colorado State University has 400 student clubs and organizations that provide real-life experience that will help students in their professional and personal lives later on.

We have a student government that gives students the opportunity to make a difference on campus, we have nine diversity offices where students can advocate for themselves and others. We have Rocky Mountain Student Media, which allows students like myself to be heard in a professional format.

We learn from professors who have worked with NASA and won Guggenheim Fellowships, educators who sacrifice their own comfort to broaden our world views.

College is not easy, and there is no shame in feeling over-

whelmed. Nothing about education has ever been easy.

But, the hardship that comes with the university experience is the point. The stress of balancing classes and extracurriculars teaches us how to manage difficult situations. It trains us to be comfortable under pressure so that when we get a job after graduation and the stress continues, we will handle it with grace and continue onwards. All of this will make us well-rounded contributors to society.

When school starts to feel terrible, remember why we are here and remember those who have fought much harder for an education than we have.

Let’s replace our complaints with gratitude, and consider what we owe to the people who will never have the opportunity to struggle through a finals week.

Remember your self-care during finals season 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.

With finals fast approaching, students are beginning to be consumed by their academic pursuits — papers, presentations, study sessions going late into the night with coffee cups and empty chip bags covering the tables.

But students are forgetting about the one thing they need to remember going into finals week: self-care.

Learning how to make time for self-care during stressful times is a life skill students will want to master as soon as

possible.

Self-care doesn’t mean you have to splurge on bath bombs and expensive face masks, but there are little things you can do for yourself that will keep you sane throughout the next couple of weeks.

One of the most important things to remember during finals season is that it’s not worth it to stay up late studying. College students are notorious for trying to cram 15 weeks of material in one night of studying. If you don’t know it by 2 a.m., you just don’t know it. Give your brain a break, go to sleep and try again tomorrow.

Among other things, one of the most overwhelming aspects of finals is the sheer amount of work that needs to be done in such a short amount of time. Instead of looking at it as a monstrous heap of work, it helps to write down small, attainable goals that you are

High quality, affordably produced video

confident you can achieve. Be realistic.

“Self-care doesn’t mean you have to splurge on bath bombs and expensive face masks, but there are little things you can do for yourself that will keep you sane throughout the next couple of weeks.”

Students need to remember to take a mental break every now and then, too! You can try studying for 50 minutes and taking a 10 minute break to stretch, get up and move around.

Focus on yourself and what your body needs to stay engaged, because prolonged in-

activity can reduce the effectiveness of studying and lead to muscle fatigue, discomfort, loss of sensation and tingling.

Also consider what you’re putting into your body. When it comes to snacking, the stressfulness of it all makes it more tempting to opt for something unhealthy. Food and drinks should nourish your mind and body, not detract from it. As much as you think you need those four espresso shots, you’ll likely feel better if you stick to something light like tea.

Remember to eat a balanced meal consisting of grains, vegetables and protein.

Nourishing your body will help fuel you through these last few weeks of school. Even consider doing yourself the favor of meal prepping — something for yourself so you’re not tempted by convenient foods that’ll make your mind feel sluggish.

svp@collegian.com

The reality is, when your body feels taken care of and nurtured, you’ll study better.

These next two weeks might be stressful, but taking time to do something to unwind that you find joy in is important.

Whether that’s watching Vine compilations, doing yoga, using the meditation pods at the Health Center or mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, what’s important is that you don’t work yourself into a poorer state of mental health.

Nobody else can find out what works for you, besides you.

Structuring your commitments in order to maximize efficiency for both your schoolwork and self-care requires a commitment in and of itself, but it’s one that’s worth your time.

If you haven’t been to Horsetooth Reservoir during the summer, you are missing out. Horsetooth Reservoir is a popular destination right outside of Fort Collins that offers graffiti caves to explore, wakeboarding, water skiing, climbing, cliff jumping, fishing, mountain biking, camping, and much more!

The reservoir has a few different area of interest worth checking out and are displayed on the map below. Eltuck Cove and the South Bay make for a great night of camping waterside and for a fun weekend playing in the water. Satanka Cove “party cove” is a fun spot for college students and where many of the rowdy folk reside. The last area is found on the eastern shore where day use swimming areas are offered and the environment is more family friendly.

The best way to explore these cool areas are by boat, kayak, or a SUP (stand up paddleboard) Rentals are found directly at Horsetooth by What’s SUP, Paddleboards @ The Comedy Overlook. In Fort Collins rentals are found at Gearage and Rocky Mountain Adventures.

Hiking at Horsetooth

SPONSORED CONTENT

SPONSORED CONTENT

Feelling ready for summer? Here are a few easy hiking trails to get you outside and active! Make sure to check for regulations on activities, closures, and weather before leaving.

Horsetooth Rock and Waterfall Horsetooth Falls and Horsetooth Rock are located in the Horsetooth Mountain open space just west of Fort Collins. Both these hikes offer great trails with amazing views of Fort Collins. The Falls hike offers an easier trek with less uphill and distance. The waterfall runs during the spring and offers a pool to cool off in after the hike. Horsetooth Rock on the other hand gives you a little more challenge with summiting the Horsetooth Rock. This hike is 5 miles long compared to the shorter Falls hike at 2.9 miles.

Arthur’s Rock In Lory State Park a less busy hiking trail, compared to Horsetooth, can be found. Arthur’s Rock gives hikers spectacular views of the reservoir and the city of Fort Collins. It offers a little more seclusion than that of Horsetooth Mountain open space. This hike is 3.4 miles long and during the spring can have a small creek running next to parts of the trail.

Biking at Horsetooth

Climbing at Horsetooth

Traversing the numerous trails in northern Colorado is breathtaking and rewarding. Now imagine going to a more technical level and adding a bike. Mountain biking has become a thriving activity in Colorado and there are so many phenomenal locations that deserve to be conquered and seen.

Horsetooth Reservoir is the closest and most easily accessible climbing area near Fort Collins. It has several climbing areas including Rotary Park, Duncan’s Ridge, Piano Keys. Rotary Park is the most popular climbing area in the location, providing bouldering for all levels of climbers. There are a few top rope sections however this hangout is mostly dedicated to bouldering. If top roping or traditional climbing is what you are looking for, then head to Duncan’s Ridge where you will find plenty of routes for beginner/intermediate climbers. Last but not least, the Piano Keys bouldering spot offers more rope less climbing routes ranked for easy to moderate levels. Visiting Horsetooth during the summer months should be approached with caution, as the heat during the day can lead to difficult climbing conditions. Early in the morning or later in the afternoon are the best times to climb for summer.

However, during the fall, winter, and spring, Horsetooth is an ideal place to climb between/after classes or on your day off. Enjoy the climb!

Not only is mountain biking an exciting activity that allows you to cover more ground, but it provides an amazing rush that tests your fitness and skill. In Fort Collins, there are several great mountain biking trails.

These trails are also great hiking trails, but adding in a mountain bike gives each trail a different feel. Some trails that I have hiked and biked are: Devil’s Backbone, Coyote Ridge, Blue Sky, and Lory State Park.

The amazing thing about these four trails is that, in some way, they are all physically connected. If you desire, you could mountain bike all the way from Lory State Park, in the north (near Bellevue) and finish all the way at Devil’s Backbone (off Highway 34 between Fort Collins and Loveland). This would be a long trek, and require adequate preparation and decent fitness, but it’s an amazing adventure.

By CSU Alum Karen Gilbert

Although, all these trails are connected and in the same region, they all have something different to offer. Lory, going north to south, gives a great view of Horsetooth Reservoir and doesn’t demand a lot of climbing (uphill biking) unless you go west. Instead, it is filled with minor hills that allow you to carry your momentum and cover a lot of ground. Blue Sky, which starts at the lower Horsetooth trail parking lot, gives a decent challenge with some climbing and some switchbacks that test your maneuvering skills. On top of having some great trails on the western range, there are also several amazing trails up the Poudre Canyon. One of my favorites is Hewlett Gulch, which gives an amazing feel of the Colorado mountains and provides a good workout.

This trail isn’t very far up the canyon so its easily accessed, but its far enough to get you out of cell phone range and escape a little. There are several amazing river crossings that require you to pick up a lot of momentum before trying to cross, or you can stall on your bike and fall, nothing wrong with getting messy when mountain biking, if anything its encouraged.

Hope to see you out on the trails!

If you haven’t been to the Cache La Poudre canyon yet, make sure to plan a weekend to check it out. There are many activities offered up the canyon, but one of the most iconic stopping spots and activities has to be the Grey Rock hike. This hike is a more challenging one that brings you up to a meadow below the base of the big grey rock and then brings you to the summit where you’ll find rain filled ponds and breathtaking views.

Grey rock offers dispersed camping and the hike is 7.1 miles long.

This year was truly amazing. We had great success within our print and online editions as well as our first ever annual Howler Film Festival. Thank you to all those who attended our events, provided media or articles for our publication, and supported us through sponsorships during the year.

Without people viewing our content and our sponsors, RamPage would not exist, so thank you! Make sure to grab a copy of RamPage every Tuesday in the Collegian, tag us on instagram @CSUrampage, and keep an eye out for The Howler Film Festival next year.

Undie Run cancellation threatens CSU admission rates, sponsors

By Ethan Vassar @ethan_vassar

Editor’s Note: This is a satire piece from The Collegian’s opinion section. Real names may be used in fictitious/semi-fictitious ways. Those who do not read the editor’s notes are subject to being offended.

FORT COLLINS - One of the most honored and historic traditions at Colorado State University, the Undie Run, has received some severe pushback from the University this year. The event, which is meant to be an avenue for students to let out stress before finals week by showing off parts of their body that haven’t seen sun since November, is looked forward to by many students.

CSU’s stance against the Undie Run has made many incoming freshman for the fall 2019 semester question their decision to choose CSU. “The whole reason I chose to go to CSU was because of the Undie Run,” said Howard Potts, a current high school senior who was accepted and committed to CSU in March. “Now that it might not happen, I wish I would’ve commit-

colorado school of

public health

ted to Boulder.”

The deadline for students to confirm their admission, National Decision Day, was May 1. Many incoming freshman feel cheated that CSU chose to put their foot down against the Undie Run so close to National Decision Day when an email was sent out cautioning against it on April 29, just two days prior.

“CSU’s stance against the Undie Run has made many incoming freshman for the fall 2019 semester question their decision to choose CSU. ” “There is definitely something fishy about it,” said Maisie Turner, another incoming freshman.

The email cites structural damage as the University’s main concern, a hypocritical notion for many current students. The fact that CSU has no problem letting students attend class in the death trap that is Clark, but takes issue

with cracked concrete, is offensive to many.

In addition to current and incoming students, some of the University’s sponsors have spoken out against its stance on the Undie Run. The athletic clothing outfitter Under Armour, which provides CSU with apparel for all sports, shares the same beliefs as students.

“First Hughes Stadium, then Tony Frank, now the Undie Run? The CSU we chose to partner with and provide apparel for is becoming unrecognizable,” said CEO Kevin Plank.

In a press release last week, Under Armour stated they will be providing free, licensed underwear and sports bras for the first 100 finishers of the Undie Run. Another company that has a deal with the University, Powerade, supports the event and will have several tables with their sports drinks set out placed along the Undie Run route.

Only time will tell if the University is serious about putting an end to this beloved event. If they do, it may be at the cost of losing thousands of applications and sponsors.

COLLEGIAN COLUMNIST

Colorado sports will see a minimal shift away from football Sergio Santistevan @TheRealsSergio

Everybody has their preferences, and when it comes to sports, American prefers football. Football and America are somewhat synonymous.

During the NFL season, the average game drew nearly 15.8 million viewers. College football playoffs brought in over 28 million viewers.

However, with the recent success of other professional and college sports in Colorado, there is proof that there is more to life than football.

The Denver Nuggets and the Colorado Avalanche are amidst deep playoff runs and have turned the state into basketball and hockey fans virtually overnight.

Despite a slow start to the 2019 season, the Colorado Rockies notched a postseason bid last year, winning their respective wild-card matchup before falling in the Divisional Round.

Softball has put Colorado State University on the map with the team clinching its first Mountain West Championship in 14 years, heading to the postseason for the first time since 2003.

CSU volleyball is a perennial top-25 program and has labeled CSU as a volleyball school.

“I’m not saying a changing of the guard needs to happen, because I know it won’t.

I love football as much as the next person, but I think Colorado will see a minimal shift to a more diverse group of sports fans in the next few years.”

On the flip side, football was a major let down throughout the state last year. For those that don’t think football was that bad, let’s put it into perspective.

For the first time since 2006, the Denver Broncos missed the playoffs and the University of Colorado, Air Force Academy and CSU all failed to make a bowl game.

That means all three major

college football teams failed to win at least six games throughout the season. Additionally, all teams finished below .500 for the first time since 1964.

Colorado football wasn’t just bad, it was historically bad.

I’m not saying a changing of the guard needs to happen, because I know it won’t. I love football as much as the next person, but I think Colorado will see a minimal shift to a more diverse group of sports fans in the next few years.

The Avalanche are one of the youngest teams in the NHL and are only going to get better as they develop their core, led by young leaders like Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog and Cale Makar.

Something must be in the air as the Nuggets are a spitting image of the Avalanche with a young core who look like they are destined to be NBA Champions, as long as they remain together.

The Rockies will continue to dominate the warm weather season in Colorado as their ticket sales aren’t going down anytime soon. Coors Field continues to hold the single-season home attendance record in the MLB. CSU softball has proven many times throughout their season that they are a program

on the rise and as long as Tom Hilbert is coaching the volleyball team, they will continue to be in the NCAA Tournament regularly.

The same can’t be said for our beloved Denver Broncos and CSU football team. Maybe a change of quarterback and new head coach will turn the Broncos’ luck, but it seems doubtful for a team playing in the same division as Patrick Mahomes and Phillip Rivers.

CSU football lost the majority of their key players from last season, a season that resulted in a 3-9 record. To think the Rams will be better this upcoming season is a bit of a reach, as the team has only three games on their schedule that they are favored to win.

Whether or not the Broncos and Rams are good next season, they will continue to sell out their stadiums game after game, because we love football. However it’s time that we start to respect and admire the success of Colorado sports and a seeming golden age we are about to approach, because if anybody is raising a championship banner soon, it will be a team that doesn’t toss a pigskin.

Fury embraces ’90s punk nostalgia on ‘Failed Entertainment’

By Miles Parrish @parrishm1

Known for their high-energy, aggressive music, California-based hardcore band Fury released their new album “Failed Entertainment” May 3.

“Failed Entertainment” starts off just as strong as one would expect from a band like Fury. The opening track, “Angels

Over Berlin,” takes very little time to slap you across the face with a heavy guitar riff backed up by equally forceful drums.

Jeremy Stith, the band’s vocalist, matches the energy provided by his bandmates as he yells out through the thunderstorm of electric guitars.

As the album progresses, the third track, “Vacation,” displays Stith’s desire to stay away from work and never leave his vacation that has just ended. The song takes on a sound that is reminiscent of ’90s alternative rock bands, such as Stone Temple Pilots, but with the band’s own take on it. It feels like a throwback to an older time in music, while also maintaining a sound that does

not feel stale.

As the album carries on, however, it feels as if “Failed Entertainment” does not fully evolve.

None of the remaining songs are inherently bad by any means, but in the context of listening to an album from front-to-back, the crushing drums and heavy riffs begin to feel less and less captivating.

Luckily, at 27 minutes, the album does not leave room to draw itself out, and “Failed Entertainment’s” second half still has its highlights.

On “Birds of Paradise,” Stith highlights the superficial nature of the United States and his refusal to fall victim to it. This song, like “Vacation,” feels like

another tasteful grab from the past. This track feels as if the Melvins, known for their hand in the career of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and Bad Brains, a hardcore punk band popular in the ’80s out of Washington D.C, meshed styles but polished the sound for a more modern feel.

“Birds of Paradise” is arguably the strongest cut on this album.

Overall, Fury’s second release feels like a throwback in a sense, but not in an outdated way.

“Failed Entertainment” feels like a project that picks up where alternative rock left off in the late ’90s and refurbishes that sound for the modern day.

While this is an accomplishment, the album can still fall vic-

tim to this formula feeling repetitive.

The project has its standouts, too. “Vacation” and “Birds of Paradise” are not only two of the strongest tracks on this album, but genuinely great tracks that I will definitely be holding onto.

OVERALL: 6/10 ■ Favorite Track:

“Bird of Paradise”

■ Least Favorite Track:

“Lost in the Funhouse”

Vampire Weekend grows up on ‘Father of the Bride’

By Matt Campbell @mattcampbell90

Vampire Weekend aren’t exactly doing anything new on their newest album, “Father of the Bride,” and it might be what works in their favor.

On this triumphant 18-track comeback album, the Ivy League indie rockers have demonstrated their growth, presenting us with a record that juxtaposes the frantic energy of their 2008 self-titled debut.

Still, the band continues to play to their strengths, generating a brand of world music inspired rhythms, staccato guitar virtuosity and stunningly sharp lyrics penned by frontman Ezra Koenig. The band’s signature sound continues to ring from college dorms and apathetic teenagers’ bedrooms.

Despite a five-year hiatus, the group has not lost any of their signature flair. In 2013, their album “Modern Vampires of the City” presented a darker and more romantic aesthetic that would have served as a worthy bookend to their already legendary career.

On “Father of the Bride,” the growth is apparent. The first single off the album, “Harmony Hall,” serves as an appropriate comeback for the band, implementing smooth acoustic gui-

tar leads over thumping conga drums and Koenig’s signature surrealist lyrics.

“2021,” the second single released at the same time as “Harmony Hall,” features Koenig crooning over looped, synthesized drums, reminiscent of the more new wave and experimental elements of 2010’s “Contra” and “Modern Vampires of the City.”

“Perhaps what separates ‘Father of the Bride’ from the band’s previous releases is a sense of refined maturity and a lack of a clear and distinguishable aesthetic.”

Songs like “Sunflower” incorporate more of Vampire Weekend’s signature, and sometimes frantic, guitar virtuosity — a calling card of Koenig, who also serves as the band’s lead guitarist. This is all over a simple chanted melody. Still, the band does well in not straying from the aspects of their sound on which they have built up such a loyal following, for example earworm melodies and world music-inspired sounds.

This album serves as a greatest hits of sorts for the band, highlighting their proficiency in creating diverse music that spans the realms of indie rock, African and folk music. This is especially apparent on the al-

bum’s opening track “Hold You Now.” It is clear that the members of Vampire Weekend have grown both as people and as musicians in the time they’ve spent away from touring. This is evident everywhere on “Father of the Bride.” The band has grown from their youthful and quirky spirit, but they still retain a sense of wonder and excitement that is displayed proudly throughout the album.

Perhaps what separates “Father of the Bride” from the band’s previous releases is a sense of refined maturity and a lack of a clear and distinguishable aesthetic. Instead, the record serves as an authority figure in the band’s discography, elegantly showcasing the band’s growth while further cementing their status as indie rock legends.

Vampire Weekend will be playing Red Rocks Amphitheater Oct. 8-9, 2019. “Father of the Bride” can be found on Spotify and Apple Music.

OVERALL 7/10 ■ Best Tracks:

“Harmony Hall,” “Sunflower,” and “Hold You Now” ■ Worst Tracks: “Bambina” and “We Belong Together” Matt Campbell can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

How ‘Empire’ handled Jussie Smollett’s absence on Wednesday’s episode

KCSU IS OUT OF THIS WORLD

By Tracy Swartz Chicago Tribune

Blink and you might have missed Jussie Smollett on Wednesday’s episode of “Empire.” Smollett — whose role was supposed to be cut from the final two episodes of the season as the drama surrounding his alleged Chicago attack plays out in real time — could be seen in a series of flashbacks that aired in the first six minutes of the season’s penultimate episode.

Otherwise, there was little mention of Smollett’s character, musician Jamal Lyon, who was said to be spending his honeymoon in the Seychelles after marrying his husband in a lavish ceremony on last week’s episode.

Wednesday’s episode mostly focused on the aftermath of patriarch Lucious Lyon’s car crash and oldest son Andre’s battle with a life-threatening illness. Scenes were filmed after Smollett, who is African-American and openly gay, was accused of staging a racist and homophobic attack against himself in the Streeterville neighborhood on Jan. 29.

The 36-year-old actor vehemently denied faking the attack, and the Cook County state’s attorney’s office dropped all 16 felony charges against Smollett in March with little explanation.

But by that time, representatives for the Fox network — which produces and airs “Empire” — had

already announced that Smollett’s role would be cut from the final two episodes of Season 5 to “avoid further disruption on set.” The Season 5 finale is scheduled to air next week.

Fox reps announced Tuesday that “Empire” was renewed for a sixth season, and they left the door open for Smollett’s return — perhaps waiting to see how the saga will continue to unfold. Though the criminal charges against him were dismissed, Smollett faces a civil lawsuit from the city of Chicago for the cost of the police overtime hours spent investigating his allegations.

“By mutual agreement, the studio has negotiated an extension to Jussie Smollett’s option for season six, but at this time there are no plans for the character of Jamal to return to ‘Empire,’” Fox reps said in a statement Tuesday.

“Empire,” which premiered in 2015, is based at Cinespace Chicago Film Studios on the West Side and films around Chicago. Filming of Season 6 is expected to begin in July. The show was once an enormous hit for Fox, but ratings have continued to decline in recent weeks.
