STDs on the rise across CSU: Get yourself tested

By Emma Iannacone @EmmaIannacone

Sexually transmitted diseases have reached national record-breaking numbers for the fourth consecutive year, according to an analysis by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but health officials at Colorado State University attribute the increase of cases on campus to increased reporting.

1.7 million cases of chlamydia were reported to the CDC in 2017, with 45 percent of cases among 15-24-year-old females, consistent with data health professionals have seen at CSU. According to Dr. Cherie Worford, the clinical supervisor of the Women’s and Gender Care clinic, the most commonly seen infection on campus is chlamydia, but gonorrhea has made its way around, too. But it’s difficult for the CSU Health

Network to track whether the rates of STDs are rising due to an increase in testing, Dr. Worford said.

“We have seen an increase in that we feel we’re having more students test, so we’re seeing more positive results,” Dr. Worford said.

Chlamydia became a reality for third-year student, Anton, whose last name is being withheld to maintain his anonymity. Anton said when he arrived

back from winter break, he received a text from a former sexual partner that she had an STD. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, what do I do?’ because at the time I was like, ‘Is this something I can cure?’” Anton said.

“At the time I didn’t really know what chlamydia was.”

While Anton was able to receive treatment, he said he got chlamydia again a few months later.

“I think maybe someone

that I hooked up with passed it to someone, who passed it to someone, who passed it to someone, who passed it back to me,” he said.

Through initiatives like the Get Yourself Tested campaign, students are encouraged to get tested after every new sexual partner to avoid passing STDs to future partners. Dr. Worford also encourages condom use

Recipient of Boettcher Investigator grant studies mitochondrial diseases

By Julia Trowbridge @chaplin_jules

Colorado State University is a host of life-changing research, including improving the diagnosis of more challenging diseases to detect.

Jesse Wilson, 2018 Boettcher Investigator and electrical and computing engineering assistant professor, was awarded the title for his research in biomedical imaging, specifically to look at mitochondrial diseases.

“People can be born with defects in their mitochondria; either through mutations in the mitochondrial DNA,” Wilson said.

“And basically if your cells don’t have the ability to utilize oxygen and to generate enough ATP to really thrive, the consequences can be really disastrous. And children with mitochondrial disease will rarely survive past the age of 12.”

The Boettcher Investigators are selected from early-career professors in Colorado whose research is in the biomedical field. The award gives $235,000 in grant funding for three years of research, according to the Boettcher Foundation’s website.

Wilson is specifically looking at the mitochondrial defect called Barth Syndrome, which is a genetic defect in the mitochondria where the organelle doesn’t produce enough power to function properly. This can lead to massive amounts of cells dying, which is shown in irreversible muscle loss in young children.

“Children with mitochondrial disease will rarely survive past the age of 12,” Wilson said.

Diagnosis of mitochondrial disease can take three to six months because we currently lack the technology to look directly at the electron transport in the mitochondria. Around two children in the United States are born with mitochondrial defects every day.

If a faster diagnosis can be made, lives could be saved.

“One patient had told me (a

mitochondrial disease) was like: imagine that feeling you get after working out, where you’re lifting weights and you get really sore.

Imagine that with every step that you take every single day,” Wilson said. “Biochemically, it’s basically the same type of thing. They’re rare diseases but they’re very tough for clinicians to work with.”

With their funding, Wilson

and Erkang Wang, an electrical engineering graduate student, are beginning their research focusing on analyzing electron transport proteins found in the mitochondria.

The mitochondria, contains cytochromes, proteins that take part in the generation of ATP, specifically during the last step in the electron transport chain that requires oxygen. Cytochromes mediate the flow of electrons from their source, sugars and fatty acids, to combine with oxygen, much like how a riverbed mediates the flow of water from a mountain lake down towards the sea, Wilson said.

If there’s a blockage or a leak in electron flow, it could be connected to a mitochondrial disease.

“Their ATP generation within the mitochondria is not standard for cancer cells,” Wang said. “So by detecting (the cytochrome), we can tell how much ATP is generated in the mitochondria and we can detect cancer cells.”

Wilson and Wang want to use this ultrafast pump-probe microscope to learn more about the cytochrome and how, through the cytochrome’s electron activity, mitochondrial diseases like Barth Syndrome can be diagnosed noninvasively.

“The main thing is we want to look at living, breathing biological tissue, and we want to look at how the mitochondria is functioning when it’s alive,” Wilson said. “And if we’re using photons, light, and we don’t have to stain our samples

or dye it or anything like that, we can measure tissue in its native state.”

The source is divided into two pulses that pulse at a duration of less than a picosecond, which allows the microscope to detect more information on the electrons in the cytochrome, Wag said. There are one billion picoseconds in one second.

When the laser is absorbed by the sample, the electrons in the cytochrome have enough energy to move from a ground state, where the electron normally rests, to an excited state, a position of higher energy.

The microscope measures excited state lifetime, or how long the electron will stay in this high energy state. The excited state lifetime of the cytochrome shows if the cytochrome is oxidized or reduced.

With cytochromes, oxidized means a molecule has given up its spare electron to a molecule downstream in the electron transport chain. Reduced means it has received a spare electron from a molecule upstream in the electron transport chain, Wilson said.

“There’s a glimmer that we think we’re actually seeing some changes in our pump-probe signal that corresponds with what the mitochondria are actually doing, how the cells produce their energy,” Wilson said.

Dallas police officer family says they aren’t racist

By Jennifer Emily The Dallas Morning News

Relatives of the Dallas police officer who killed a man in his apartment said Tuesday that they aren’t racists despite social media chatter about photos of them.

Specifically, internet sleuths have pointed to three photos of Officer Amber Guyger and her family as possible indications that they have white supremacist inclinations. Guyger, who is white, is now at the center of the national outrage over white officers shooting unarmed black men.

Guyger shot Botham Jean, who was black, in his apartment last week after she mistook his apartment for her own exactly one floor below, authorities say.

After the shooting, social media users noted photos of Guyger’s brother-law, Noe Garza, making hand gestures that some believed might symbolize white power.

But in a telephone interview Tuesday, Garza denied he or any member of Guyger’s family has connections to white supremacists or supports their causes. He said the gestures were meant to be silly and fun.

“My last name is Garza. I’m a Mexican,” he said. “I don’t care about your nationality. I don’t care about the color of your skin. We all bleed red.”

Family members declined to discuss the shooting or Guyger, who has been charged with manslaughter. But they said they wanted to address accusations Guyger and her family are racists.

The Dallas Morning News reached out to the Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League – both of which are known for identifying hate groups – to examine

with all sexual activities, including oral sex, vaginal sex and anal intercourse.

Anton said his experience changed the way he thinks about his sexual health.

“I’ve definitely wanted to get tested more regularly, so I’ve tried to make a habit out of it,” Anton said. “I make a point to wear a condom, but even then, sometimes you can still get it.”

Dental dams and female condoms are available at the Health Center for students to protect from oral infections.

the photos. The SPLC didn’t have an expert available, and the ADL was closed for Rosh Hashanah.

The ADL maintains an online library of 17 hate symbols.

Garza’s gestures appear to have a partial resemblance to the so-called “peckerwood” and “white power” hand signs associated with white supremacists, but don’t exactly match any in the ADL’s database.

“None of these are racist photos,” said Garza, 43, a former chef. “I am not racist.”

The first photo shows Garza in a gray T-shirt and black shorts gesturing with both hands. Garza said he’s not flash-

ing gang signs. The family was celebrating his father-in-law’s birthday, he said.

“It’s was his 69th birthday, so it was a 69,” said Garza.

“That’s all it was.”

The hand gesture could resemble a six and a nine from Garza’s perspective, but appear backward to a viewer of the photo.

Garza’s wife, Alana Guyger, who is Amber Guyger’s sister, said the photo was taken in July 2016 at a Joe’s Crab Shack in Grapevine.

The second picture depicts Garza among five men. Some are making hand gestures and holding beers. In that photo,

Garza said, he is making an “L” and “W” with his hands.

He said the photo was taken when he and friends went to see the punk band Lagwagon perform years ago at what is now Dos Equis Pavilion in Fair Park. He is also wearing a black hat with the letter “W” and “L” overlapping.

“It’s one of my favorite bands,” Garza said.

The third photo making the rounds shows Guyger’s mother in a white T-shirt that says “All Lives Matter.”

Alana Guyger said the shirt was a gift to her mother from her father after the July 7, 2016, downtown ambush in which a

gunman killed five Dallas officers.

The slogan “All Lives Matter” is a riff on the Black Lives Matter movement. Black Lives Matter campaigns against racism – and what its members see as the disregard for black lives – especially in shootings by police. “All Lives Matter” is often a retort from supporters of police and opponents of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Garza said he hates “the fact that I have to prove I’m not racist.”

nancy, such as IUDs and birth control pills, condom usage has fallen “out of favor” because people feel protected.

“People don’t like them.

That’s probably the biggest complaint we get,” Dr. Worford said. “People say that condoms aren’t that much fun, but I would also argue that most infections aren’t that much fun.”

While people who are sexually active should get tested regularly, that isn’t always a reality for college students, Dr. Worford said. She believes the primary reason people avoid testing for STDs is fear — fear of an invasive exam, of parents finding out through insurance and of the actual results.

But for Anton, the process of getting tested and receiving treatment was easier than he expected.

Chlamydia and gonorrhea are both bacterial infections that are treated with antibiotics. Testing only requires a urine sample.

his sexual health.

“I had some friends who had chlamydia, and they weren’t as open with their parents because they felt like they couldn’t be and it was a lot harder for them to get treatment,” Anton said.

Dr. Worford said that there are ways around having to talk with parents if it’s a concern for students. By having the insurance company send the explanation of benefits to the student’s address instead of the parents’, they can potentially avoid telling their parents.

Students can also get free testing at the Alpha Center if insurance or out of pocket payment isn’t an option.

Regardless of fear, it’s important for people to get tested for STDs because they can often be asymptomatic like it was for Anton and his partner.

“I hadn’t had any physical signs of it and she hadn’t had any physical signs of it,” Anton said.

According to the CDC, untreated STDs “can lead to severe adverse health effects that include infertility, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth in infants, and increased HIV risk.”

House Republicans unveil tax- 2019-’20 recommended cut bill ahead of election push budget reviewed at city

By Laura Davison & Allyson Versprille Bloomberg News

House Republican lawmakers introduced legislation Monday that would make the 2017 tax cuts for individuals permanent in a bid to highlight their signature economic policy achievement ahead of the November elections.

The legislation _ released as Republicans are at-risk of losing their majority in the House _ is seen as a last-ditch effort by GOP lawmakers to convince voters of the benefits of their new tax code. Polls consistently show that fewer than half of Americans approve of the tax cut.

“It’s time to change the culture in Washington where we only do tax reform once a generation,” House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady said in a statement. “This legislation is our commitment to the American worker to ensure our tax code remains the most competitive in the world.”

Still, with little chance of Senate Republicans taking up the measure, the effort is largely viewed as a way to promote political talking points. GOP leaders decided to proceed with the legislation even though it puts their

members in high-tax states in the tricky spot of either supporting a new cap on state and local tax deductions, or voting against tax cuts backed by their party.

Last year’s tax overhaul set the individual changes to expire at the end of 2025 for budget reasons, since the bill was approved through a special process that allowed it to pass with a simple majority. The provisions include the so-called SALT deduction cap, which is unpopular in hightax states such as New York and New Jersey.

The inclusion of the SALT measure in the bill released Monday has been a source of contention for some Republican lawmakers in those high-tax states, who say the limit effectively raises taxes for many of their constituents.

Republicans had hoped the legislation would put Democrats, who criticized the legislation for helping the wealthy and corporations more than average families, in a political bind _ either vote against tax cuts for individuals or support the GOPbacked law.

Instead, the legislation has caused disagreement within the Republican Party, with several lawmakers, such as Reps. Leonard Lance of New Jersey and Peter King of New York, saying

they won’t vote for a bill that includes an extension of the SALT cap. However, there are unlikely enough lawmakers opposed to the legislation to vote it down.

The legislation would permanently lower the tax rates for individuals as well as preserve a larger child tax credit and the approximately $22 million estate tax exemption for couples, which was doubled in the 2017 law.

The bill includes several retirement-related provisions that would allow small businesses to more easily offer 401(k) plans, as well as new individual savings accounts for education and newborns. The legislation would also allow startups to write off more of their costs.

While Brady didn’t specify when his committee will review the legislation in Monday’s statement, he has said the panel will begin marking it up on Thursday. Democrats will likely use the mark up as an opportunity to highlight what they see as the failings of the new law in an attempt to score political points with their base.

House Speaker Paul Ryan has said the legislation will get a vote on the House floor before the end of the month.

council meeting

By Matt Bailey @mattbailey760

Fort Collins City Council members discussed the 2019’20 recommended budget for outcome areas during the work session of Tuesday’s city council meeting.

During the work session, Fort Collins City Council members discussed the recommended budget for outcome areas for 2019 to 2020, one of just two discussion items presented.

“In total, this summarizes our budgeting for 2019 to 2020,” Fort Collins Chief Financial Officer Mike Beckstead said. “At the gross level, it’s about $650 million each year . . . Our net budget is in the $500 million range.”

Beginning with a brief moment of silence for victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the discussion focused on Fort Collins City Manager Darin Atteberry’s recommended budget, which was delivered to the city council and city clerk on Aug. 31.

Beckstead’s presentation of the recommended budget highlighted four affected outcome areas: neighborhood livability and social health, culture and recreation, safe community and economic health.

At the beginning of his presentation, Beckstead talked about revenue and tax numbers and rates.

“In aggregate, our revenue . . . is fairly flat between 2014 and 2016,” Beckstead said. “If you break that into pieces, there’s a five percent increase in light and power rates and a two percent increase in stormwater rates.”

Beckstead said the sales tax and use tax revenues have generally been flat in recent years, peaking at $29 million in 2015 due to widespread construction taking place in the Fort Collins area that year.

He went on to say that there still has been continuous growth in sales tax and use tax revenue, with a $2 million to $2.5 million increase each year.

Beckstead said sales tax has an approximate three percent forecasted increase, and sales tax has had that same increase in recent years.

“The piece that’s changing is really use tax,” Beckstead said.

“But we’re forecasting about a five percent decline between 2019 and 2020 for sales tax.”

In his summary, Beckstead said the major themes with the 2019-’20 budget are public safety and police staffing, city assets and infrastructure, sustaining current levels of service, continued energy efficiency efforts, investing in the workforce and keeping up with growth.

The budget includes proposed full-time equivalent staffing changes.

These changes include the 2.5 FTE in the city manager’s office as a transfer of the Office of Emergency Management from Poudre Fire Authority to the City and an increase of four patrol officers each year within police services.

Other changes include a 4.0 FTE to support additional trail miles, new neighborhood parks, maintenance of the downtown core area and the Whitewater Park, three FTEs to support permitting and two FTEs to support local services.

Additional staffing for broadband is not included.

The purpose of this budget review was solely to receive feedback from councilmembers. This budget review comes as the first of two budget reviews that are taking place in Fort Collins city council meetings, the second of which will take place in October.

COLLEGIAN COLUMNISTS

Graduate school should not be a default plan Katie Lindberg @quantumCatnip

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.

For many students, particularly in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, graduate school is a default post-college plan. It shouldn’t be. Graduate school can be necessary and rewarding, but it shouldn’t be anyone’s default plan without thinking it through.

Many students who continue into graduate school end up learning the hard way that they have no idea what they are getting in to. Instead, students ought to do thorough research before deciding if they want or need a graduate degree.

Students should begin by considering why they want to follow the graduate path. The

most common reasons are perfectly understandable: a passion for a subject, higher pay, job advancement or career goals like professor or mental health counselor which require an advanced degree.

Personally, I liked the idea of being called “doctor.” One reason that’s hard to admit, despite how common it is, that students choose to go on to graduate school: in the face of the terrifying blank slate of post-college life, the familiar academic bubble that graduate school offers becomes too tempting to resist.

If you’re feeling called out, that’s okay. This is a critical first step to making sure you put the proper amount of time and thought into the decision to go to graduate school.

Passion for a subject is wonderful; without passion, a student’s time in graduate school will be incredibly hard. But passion isn’t the only requirement for conquering this monumental task. As a graduate student, you will have to complete tasks

that seem unending, impossible or just plain boring. At times, your passion will falter. You will reach a point where you’re cursing your project or thesis out loud. As a fourth-year graduate student, I am painfully familiar with these realities.

WHERE TO START? ■ Consult with the CSU Career

Center on what jobs need advanced degrees.

■ Talk to grad students and work in a graduate group if possible.

■ Speak to a counselor about mental and emotional ramifications.

Career benefits are another motivating factor for attending graduate school. An advanced degree does usually lead to a pay increase, but so does experience.

According to the Undercov-

er Reporter, employers will still look for experience in their job applicants, no matter their education level. Instead of paying for more school and increasing their student debt, the years students put into graduate school can be spent gaining valuable real-world experience and making money instead.

An advanced degree typically leads to a leadership position.

It is important to understand that people in leadership positions, like professors or heads of research, do almost entirely managerial-type work. They aren’t in the laboratory actually doing science anymore.

The mental and emotional costs have to be considered as well. Being a graduate student is downright hard, and the consequences often go beyond work.

In March of 2018, Nature reported a depression rate of nearly 40 percent. Relationships are difficult to maintain, not only because a graduate student’s time is highly restricted but also because choosing a

school, and subsequently a job, often requires major relocation.

If reading this was unsettling, don’t ignore that feeling. The decision to go to graduate school should not be taken lightly, so be as well-informed as possible by starting with the resources available here on campus.

Consult with the CSU Career Center on what jobs really need an advanced degree. Find graduate students in your area of study and talk to them about their experience; better yet, work in a graduate group. Visit the CSU Counseling Center and discuss potential mental and emotional pitfalls. The counselors and psychiatrists all went to graduate school too.

If the pros of graduate school still outweigh the cons after doing thorough research, your decision will have a far more solid foundation. If not, don’t be afraid of leaving the academic bubble. The world outside is a lot grander than you think.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Avoid excessive student loan debt

Dear CSU Students, Nowadays, continuing your education after high school is more necessary than ever. Most employers expect you to have a certificate or degree. But at the same time, pursuing a degree is more expensive than ever. It isn’t fair. So, as a college student, what can you do?

First, use the resources that are available.

Look into your eligibility for federal financial aid. Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) every year as early as possible. Many schools use the FAFSA to award different types of financial assistance, so even if you are denied federal financial aid, just completing the form can save you money in the long run.

In Congress, I’ve strived to make the application process easier. You can now fill out the FAFSA as early as October (as opposed to January), using your family’s income tax re-

turns from two years prior. You can also access the application on your cell phone and link to the IRS’s data retrieval tool, so your information populates automatically.

Second, be aware of the kind of loans you are signing up for.

There’s a between private loans and federal student loans.

For example, your interest rate on a federal student loan won’t change, so you always know what to expect. There are built-in protections too, including more manageable repayment options, such as the Income-Based Repayment and Public Service Loan Forgiveness programs - as well as deferment and forbearance, if necessary.

In contrast, private loans are more like credit cards. Interest rates on private loans can accrue even before you graduate and spike as high as 18 percent. The one thing that will never change when it comes to private loans is that you’ll always be on the hook for a hefty bill. Private loans are not eligible for federal forgiveness, cancellation or even repayment programs.

The bottom line is don’t sign up for a loan just because some lender is offering it. Many private lenders prey on students like you.

In Congress, we are pushing for the Know Before You Owe Act, which would require

schools to counsel students before you sign up for expensive, often unnecessary, private loans and inform you of any unused federal student aid eligibility.

Third, create a budget, accounting for all your expenses.

As you know, the cost of college is way more than just tuition. Everything adds up housing, food, utilities, transportation and parking, medical care, even football tickets and especially textbooks. The cost of textbooks is shocking, a whopping $1,250 a year, on average. As many as 65 percent of students decide not to buy a textbook because of the cost.

The good news is more and more professors are using cheaper alternatives like open source, online textbooks.

Last but not least, study, study, study.

Get the most out of your education. Make your investment count. Visiting campuses, I’ve learned from so many of you, and I want to know that your voice hasn’t gone unheard.

These tribes are Tsitsistas, known as the Cheyennes, Hinoneino, known as the Arapaho tribe, and the Ute tribe. This image shows the people of Fort Collins the history that exists here; a history that at times seems forgotten. We must never forget about the past. We must honor these people that have come before us. People that are still here today. It is my hope that as more people come to Colorado, its history and its people are not forgotten.

CSU men’s golf team Pair of Rams named to tournament finishes strong at team after Michigan performances Carpet Capital Collegiate

By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

By Mack Beaulieu @Macknz_James

After making the NCAA regional round for the first time in five years last season, the Colorado State men’s golf team finished its first tournament of the season on a high note in the rigorous Carpet Capital Collegiate tournament.

The tournament included 13 NCAA regional qualifiers from the 2017-2018 season and the NAIA national runner-up as well as seven currently ranked teams.

The Rams got a big performance out of freshman Davis Bryant, who came on with the Rams as the No. 1 ranked Colorado golfer in the class of 2018.

The Rams started the tournament, seemingly in line with most of the rest of the field, finishing the first round in a fourway tie for 11th. Bryant was the bright spot on the day, setting the pace for his weekend with an even par in the round. Cullen Plousha III brought up the rear for the Rams with a 10-over 82.

The second day was a small improvement for the Rams in scoring. The Rams managed to cut two shots from the previous day’s score, with Jake Staiano and Plousha III cutting their scores by six and five respectively. The small improvement could have been overshadowed by the fact that the Rams fell behind in the rankings, but the Rams did not let the leaderboard get to

them.

On the third day, the Rams proved they belonged in the strong field and came back with a third round that was 18 strokes under their second round score to finish the weekend with a round of 7-under 281. It was the second-best round of the tournament for the entire field. Bryant led the way again with a 3-under 69 and Plousha III continued his climb back from the first day, tying Bryant.

“What a great round for our team today, the second-lowest round of the day,” coach Christian Newton said. “Everyone played great from start to finish.

None of these guys gave up after such a shaky start and we ended up taking home some nice wins over legitimate top-20 programs.

I am very happy with how we hung tough this week.”

The Rams’ final day was good enough to finish the tournament in 10th place with a 17-over 881, passing No.11 University of California and No.8 University of Florida. Securing at least one Rams win over the SEC school this year. Bryant, Staino, A.J. Ott, Davis and Parathakorn Suyasri finished 16th, 27th, 53rd, and tied for 68th respectively.

In a considerably easier tournament, the Rams will host the Ram Masters Invitational Sept.

17-18 at Fort Collins Country Club.

Following their stint at the Michigan Challenge, Colorado State volleyball had a pair of players recognized for standout performances Sept. 10.

Middles redshirt junior Kirstie Hillyer and junior Paulina Hougaard-Jensen were named to the All-Tournament team following the team’s three-game stint in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Hillyer, a two-time Mountain West All-Conference player for the Rams, accrued 34 kills in the trio of games, with only six hitting errors on the weekend.

Along with attacking prowess, Hillyer had 18 total blocks, her highest total in a three-game stretch this season.

After being injured for a portion of last season, Hillyer is already up to 111 kills on the season, on pace for her largest attacking output of her Rams career. Along with the pace, Hillyer is also in the top-10 in the Mountain West for kills per set (3.26).

The other leader in the middle, Hougaard-Jensen had 22 kills of her own. Sitting at 81 on the season, she is on roughly the same pace as last year, with a lowered efficiency.

Last season, Hougaard-Jensen was second in the nation in hitting percentage (.474), a mark that coach Tom Hilbert even said was going to be nearly impossible to replicate.

Hougaard-Jensen had a combined 15 total blocks in the three games, trailing only Hillyer for the team lead along with four digs de-

spite her position against the net.

Though the two standouts in the middle were awarded, fellow Ram Katie Oleksak failed to make the team despite her 107 assists, leading the Rams from her setting position.

The Phoenix, Arizona native also had six kills and 20 digs on the weekend.

The Rams will look to continue their success in their final out-of-conference weekend against Indiana State, Portland State and the University of Colorado, with the latter two matchups taking place in Boulder, Colorado on Sept. 15.

FOOTBALL

Bobo named Dodd Trophy Coach of the Week after win over Arkansas

By Ashley Potts @ashleypotts09

After one of his biggest wins at the helm of Colorado State football, coach Mike Bobo was named Dodd Trophy Coach of the Week Sept 11.

Last weekend’s win was big for the Rams on a number of levels. It was the first win of the season after a rocky start, a big comeback from an 18-point deficit and an upset of an SEC team, only the second in CSU’s history.

The award is given to a coach “whose program embodies the award’s three pillars of scholarship, leadership and integrity, while also having success on the playing field during the previous week,” according to the Dodd Trophy website.

The Rams’ win held even more meaning after Bobo’s

struggles with peripheral neuropathy, for which he was hospitalized and underwent medical testing in the midst of offseason practices and has seeped into the season, forcing the coach to attend multiple appointments a week.

The Dodd Trophy website recognized Bobo’s leadership and commitment to the team through everything, saying that he exemplifies leadership and that a comeback win like this only happens with the right kind of coaching.

“Coach Bobo led his team to a victory when the odds were stacked against them, all while battling his own health issues,” said Peach Bowl, Inc. CEO & President Gary Stokan in the announcement of Bobo’s nomination. “Coach Dodd would have been proud.”

MISSion Innovation empowers women to pursue STEM

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

Women studying science, math, engineering and technology are on a mission to empower young women and girls to pursue the same path.

On Sept 22-23 from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m., Pretty Brainy will be hosting MISSion Innovation, an all-woman innovation marathon geared towards designing carbon-reducing technology.

The event will focus on mentorship with the designing of a climate action solution.

“We’re only going to get one kind of idea if we have only straight white males in this field,” said Lauren Isenhour, project manager for MISSion Innovation and senior physics major. “We’re only going to get those ideas from those backgrounds. If we get more people from more diverse backgrounds, then we’ll get more diverse ideas and it’ll be better science because you get everyone’s opinion. And diversity historically starts with women.”

MISSion Innovation: When: Sept. 22-23, 8 a.m.-8 p.m. daily Cost: $75, scholarships and group discounts avaliable Where: CSU Website:prettybrainy.com/ missioninnovation

Pretty Brainy is a grassroots, nonprofit organization that matches up women in science mentors with young girls interested in science. Heidi Olinger decided to found the organization over five years ago to keep young girls in science, both because most young girls start to lose interest in science in middle and high school and because she was inspired by her niece that had a forward thinking mind at a young age.

“I had a young niece who was truly exceptional,” Olinger said.

“She was pitching questions to me about physics and this was about age five ... I wanted to keep her as strong and believing in her mind and thinking big at age 13 as she was at age seven.”

The difference between Pretty Brainy and other empowerment organizations is Pretty Brainy focuses on encouraging women to explore STE(A)M, which includes art and design into the original acronym. According to Isenhour, this is because STEM and art and design are not mutually exclusive, and STEM majors need to be creative.

“There’s so many people in physics who go ‘I don’t know how to start,’” Isenhour said. “’Starting the problem is the physics, but sometimes you have to be creative with that. But if you don’t have a creative mind or a slightly artistic ability, you’re not going to be able to (start

the problem).”

Isabella Pettner, a sophomore studying apparel merchandising, started with Pretty Brainy when she was in sixth grade and is now working on a limited liability company for a hand-washing design she built. Although shes still involved with Pretty Brainy and other stem activities, she pursues fashion.

“What I love about Pretty Brainy is that it was very much about you have this difference only you can make in the world,” Pettner said. “And even though I’m good at STEM and engineering... (STEM and art) are not mutually exclusive things. I felt confident saying I love engineering, but fashion is calling me.”

Pretty Brainy focuses on the idea that girls don’t have to have a career in STEM. Their goal is to provide women with experience and knowledge that allows them to make an informed decision on what they want to pursue in life.

“If Pretty Brainy can give girls experiences in areas that they formerly didn’t know were open to them, didn’t know that certain occupations or opportunities even existed, then we’ve done something,” Olinger said. “Then young women can at least make an informed decision based on an experience we’ve given them.”

MUSIC

CSU junior releases 20-song album ‘Harmony’ after year and a half of recording

By Miles Parrish @parrishm20

Jesse Sanders, a 23-year-old Colorado native and junior at Colorado State University, spent the last year and a half recording his first album to the public, and now it has been released with an impressive 20 songs.

Under the name “Timberline”, Sanders has released his first full-length project, titled “Harmony,” onto Spotify. Self-described as a lo-fi, indie folk artist, Timberline delivers soft-spoken, melodic vocals over heartfelt guitar chords with the goal of representing a period of necessary growth in his own life.

“The album is about living a life full of half-read books and false starts, but trying each day to pick up messes made and reconcile broken relationships,” Sanders said. “I tried to make the album sound like one long song”.

Throughout the album’s runtime, Sanders seeks to explore faults that he discovers in life and puts emphasis on the desire and effort towards understanding them in order to grow past them.

He also makes several references to different locations that he connects to musically.

“It originally started out as an album about my time living in Michigan, but turned into something more about Fort Collins and my present self by the end of it,” Sanders said.

Songs like “Elk Rapids” and “Lake Superior” reference the section of his life in Michigan.

Tracks like “circle”, in which he sings about the Oval at CSU, and “Ramblewood”, a song about the Ramblewood Apartments, showcase his more current connection to Fort Collins. Much like some of his song titles, “Timberline”, Sanders’ moniker, comes from physical influences.

Although Timberline is just now coming to be established,

Jesse has had a strong interest in music since around the age of 13.

“I had to watch my neighbors dogs for a weekend, and I had to give these dogs a pill and wait half an hour for them to digest it,” Sanders said. “Every time I had to wait, (the neighbors) had a piano in their living room and I just started playing (it).”

From that point forward, Sanders would learn to play the piano, guitar, bass, drums, accordion, and several other instruments, completely self-taught.

Throughout his time musically, he has taken in several influences.

“In the end, the important things get finished, and that’s what counts. It’s really easy to fall into apathy but it’s really hard to get out of, so stay positive.”

JESSE SANDERS AKA TIMBERLINE

“The Microphones was probably my favorite band growing up,” Sanders said. “Pretty much how I record my music is a lot like the Microphones, how I sing is like Elliot Smith, and what I sing about is a lot like Sufjan Stevens.”

Sanders has a strong DIY attitude towards his music, using thrifted pieces of equipment and a 24-track analog recorder he bought from a church to mix and master all of his own music.

One song, “Always Late”, utilizes all 24 tracks of the recorder with audio recordings of voicemails and multiple layers of guitar and vocal tracks. Sanders has even used his iPhone to record a couple of songs.

“All my equipment is from thrift stores and stuff, like my microphone and stand that I use,”

Sanders said. “I think I get really attached to the equipment I use, but it helps me be really versatile... I’m learning to use what I have which is really nice”.

He also recorded music prior to his new album.

“I released an album in high school, but I never really told anyone about it,” Sanders said.

“I met this girl named Madi and she’s kind of been helping my confidence... she made me pull the trigger on starting a label and stuff like that.”

Sanders cites Madi as the source of his confidence boost that lead to the release of “Harmony” and the formation of his record label, Plotline Records. Sanders has been the founder of Plotline since 2016 and has begun recruiting more artists under the label and hopes to have seven by the end of the year.

Looking into Sanders’ musical journey as Timberline, there is plenty to learn from him, and he offers advice to those who may want to discover themselves musically.

“Start small. You need time to grow as an artist... Learn to grow from each criticism and each praise you get,” Sanders said. “For someone to not be too confident and release everything and put their heart into it, and then it just gets shit on without any quality check, that’s gonna hurt.”

Sanders is making steps in his life and passions that many of us would wish to take, and that is something to truly admire about not only his music, but himself.

Although he has had his trials in life, he seeks to make the best out of everything.

“In the end, the important things get finished, and that’s what counts,” Sanders said. “It’s really easy to fall into apathy but it’s really hard to get out of, so stay positive.”

Timberline’s new album, “Harmony” is now on Spotify.
