After less than a week since University President Tony Frank officially announced he would be transitioning into the role of fulltime chancellor, Colorado State University is starting to make arrangements to find a new President. The CSU System’s Board of Governors confirmed the establishment of a Presidential Search Advisory Committee to find a replacement for current president Tony Frank on Oct. 5. The committee will contribute to designing candidate search goals, including a candidate profile, job description and leadership statement to be used in the national search for a new CSU president, according to a University press release. They will also interview identified applicants and recommend qualified candidates to the Board, which is the final hiring authority. “As we look for the next president of CSU we are committed to gathering the input of our faculty, staff, students, and community to make sure that we find the right person to lead this institution forward with the strong momentum the University has today,” said Chair of the CSU System Board of Governors Rico Munn, in the release. According to the press release, the committee will be composed of faculty, staff, student and community representation, among other stakeholders. Committee members will be chosen by the CSU Board in the next week. The Board will also be

WGAC allows survivors to share their stories By Charlotte Lang @Chartrickwrites

Since 2009, the Women and Gender Advocacy Center has offered the Survivor Speaker’s Bureau as a chance for survivors of interpersonal violence to learn how to share their stories with others. According to the WGAC’s page for the Bureau, telling

these stories of interpersonal violence is an important part of healing and activism for survivors. Both primary and secondary survivors are welcome to join. Assistant Director of Victim Advocacy Casey Malsam at the WGAC, who organizes and runs the panel, said the goal of the Speaker’s Bureau is to allow

survivors the chance to speak their truth and find empowerment while also allowing them the opportunity to listen to other survivors’ stories. “It highlights the responsibility that comes from being honored with these stories, the responsibility to believe survivors’ stories, to intervene in rape support culture (and) to

TPUSA’s CSU Chapter builds third free speech wall on Plaza By Blake O’Brien @BtweetsOB

For most, the cardboard barrier built of boxes and covered in scribbles on the Plaza was not an unfamiliar sight Friday morning. This was the third time in two years that Turning Point USA’s Colorado State University chapter set up a “free speech wall” on campus, said Isabel Brown, president of TPUSA’s CSU chapter. TPUSA is a student movement for free markets and limited government, according to the CSU Chapter’s website. Brown said that the group’s inspiration came from Turning Point chapters at other college campuses. “This is a pretty frequent event put on across the country from TPUSA chapters on over a thousand college campuses,” Brown said. Prior to Turning Point’s involvement, two larger and

more controversial “free speech walls” were built on the Plaza by the Conservative Interest Group of Colorado and the College Republicans at CSU.

“Overwhelmingly, people – regardless of political affiliation – are pretty excited to just write whatever they feel today on our free speech wall. That’s really the importance of free speech is that it gives everyone, regardless of their background or opinion, the opportunity to share that with the world.” ISABEL BROWN PRESIDENT OF CSU’S CHAPTER OF TURNING POINT USA

But today’s wall was different from the others, “we’re focusing it on one specific topic,” Brown said. Previously, “free speech walls” on campus were built as a general appreciation for the First Amendment, according to College Republicans at CSU. This time for TPUSA, Brown said, the demonstration was meant to ask students a specific question: Should conservative speakers be allowed to speak on campus, or not? This comes on the heels of a discussion at the Associated Students of CSU Senate about the use of student fees to bring Dennis Prager, a conservative talk show host and writer, to campus Oct. 29. During the Oct. 4 Senate session, several current and former CSU students expressed their displeasure at the allocation of student fees to the University’s chapter of TPUSA for the purpose of the event, which was approved by the Board for Student Orga-

nization Funding previously. BSOF allocated $13,999 to the organization, and therefore the Senate did not need to be consulted on the funding, as Senate approval for BSOF proposals is only needed for amounts of $14,000 or more. Brown said there were some responses to TPUSA’s question, but most people ignored the topic and used the wall as an opportunity to generally exercise their First Amendment rights. “People (were) more than welcome to talk about whatever else they want to on the free speech wall,” Brown said. That was evident by what was scrawled on the wall’s surface. The phrases included: “Make America Great Again” “F*ck the Wall” “Free Alex Jones” “Put yourself in their shoes” “Overwhelmingly, people – regardless of political affiliation – are pretty excited to

just write whatever they feel today on our free speech wall,” Brown said. “That’s really the importance of free speech is that it gives everyone, regardless of their background or opinion, the opportunity to share that with the world.” One of the people excited to write on the wall was Blake Alfred, a junior journalism major and Director of Marketing Strategy for ASCSU. Alfred wrote “Bring Back the Pitcher” near the center of the wall and slapped a sticker which read the same underneath because Alfred said his current mission is to bring pitchers back to the Ramskeller. “I think it’s a good thing that students are coming out here and writing what they believe,” Alfred said. “Whatever end of the spectrum it comes from, everyone gets a say.” Blake O’Brien can be reached at news@collegian. com.

Tony Frank >> from page 1 finding and contracting a search firm to carry out the committee’s search goals. Frank announced he will be stepping down as CSU president earlier this week, and the Board approved his transition to full-time CSU system chancellor to happen July 1, 2019. In his final Fall Address Oct. 3, Frank touched on many of the successes of his 10-year presidency, including the growth of the University, and increased diversity of the student population. “I start my last year as the president of Colorado State University with knowing that I have done my best and grateful for the immense honor and privilege it has been to do this work alongside all of you. And I

mean to keep on doing so until the end,” Frank said. Munn said in a previous statement that although Frank has succeeded in balancing the demands of his dual role as president and chancellor, a fulltime focus will now be required for managing large-scale projects that are currently underway. Now, the Board is looking ahead to more growth in the University’s future. “Colorado State University is on a powerful trajectory, setting records year-after-year in enrollment and student success, research funding and philanthropic giving, and we are confident that the opportunity to lead this university into its next 150 years will attract an excellent pool of candidates for the position,” Munn said.

WGAC >> from page 1 survivors are asked to come prepared with an idea of who they are and how they want to tell their story. “We spend some time getting to know one another, we share a meal and we share stories. We provide support in being a small private space to start exploring the stories, before opening it up to wider participation,” Malsam said. “Sometimes it can take a couple of trial runs before feeling comfortable to sit on an open panel and be so vulnerable.” The panel of speakers in the Bureau are offered to organizations and classes looking to gain a better understanding of the impact of surviving interpersonal violence, Malsam said. These events can last one or

two hours. An event will include a panel of speakers sharing their stories and is followed by a question and answer period with the audience. The latter portion of the event is facilitated by a staff member of the WGAC. “It is typically an incredibly impactful event for all who are present,” Malsam said. Courtney Kavanagh, a student working with the WGAC, took part in the Bureau during the spring semester and considered it a great chance to hear others’ stories. “It was amazing to hear people’s stories and was a really great opportunity, in general,” Kavanagh said. “I think everyone should go. It’s really important to talk about these things and debunk myths around topics like sexual harassment.” Malsam said she too has seen positive results from this panel. “For survivors, the act of

speaking one’s story can help that story hold less power over them. It is as if by giving it voice, the shame of the silence is lifted,” Malsam said. “For the audience, it can be affirming for other survivors to hear that they are not alone.” Malsam also said hearing and sharing stories can provide perspective on how people can better support those struggling with trauma in their lives. “Additionally, hearing survivor’s stories can help the wider population see just how harmful victim blaming and minimizing of impacts can be,” Malsam said. “Hopefully, it creates healing for our community and helps us end the active and passive ways that we allow this type of violence to exist.” Those interested in joining the bureau can do so by contacting Malsam at the WGAC.

Fatal car crash closes S. College and Mason By Blake O’Brien @BTweetsOB

A crash between a car and a motorcycle killed one person and injured two others at the intersection of South College Avenue and Mason Street on Saturday morning, according to a press release issued by Fort Collins Police Services. The accident closed South College Avenue and Mason Street for about five hours while investigators processed the scene. At 10:09 a.m., Fort Collins Police responded to a report of a motorcycle and vehicle collision. A 2013 Ford Escape was driving northbound on College Avenue in the left turn lane approaching Mason Street. The driver of the Escape turned left in front of a 2001 Harley Davidson motorcycle headed south-

bound on College Avenue, and the motorcycle collided with the front right side of the vehicle. The motorcycle was carrying two passengers. The back passenger, a 37-year-old woman, was transported to Medical Center of the Rockies where she died from her injuries. Jesse Scott, the driver of the Harley Davidson, was also transported the medical center to be treated for serious injuries after the collision. 68-year-old Carol Davis, who drove the Escape, received minor injuries. At this point, FCPS officers do not believe drugs and alcohol were involved. The incident is still under investigation and charges are currently pending.

Turning Point USA’s Campus Clash tour kicks off in Boulder By Meagan Stackpool @MeaganStackpool

Eight months after Charlie Kirk’s “Smashing Socialism” event came to Colorado State University, the Turning Point USA founder came to the University of Colorado Boulder as part of a new campus tour. TPUSA founder and Executive Director Charlie Kirk and Director of Communications Candace Owens spoke at the CU Boulder campus Oct. 3 as the first stop of their Campus Clash Tour, a month and a half long tour TPUSA is putting on at college campuses nationwide. Their events focus on limited government and political culture, according to the event’s website. Last spring, Kirk came to CSU to deliver a speech, leading to protests which began as peaceful and then quickly escalated into violence when Antifa and white nationalists began antagonizing each other. No injuries were reported to the CSU Police Department. Kirk and Owens condemned the conflict publicly afterward and have stated that they would enjoy returning to CSU. Ryan Huff, chief spokesperson for the CU Boulder campus, re-

ported that around 500 people attended the event. Huff said the police presence on campus reflected the university’s desire to preserve the first amendment. “One of the things that’s important for us is to make sure everybody has their free speech rights tonight,” Huff said. “Regardless of anybody’s viewpoint we want to make sure everybody’s heard, and they have a chance to do that.” Walking out onto the stage, Kirk and Owens were clad in political t-shirts stating, “Believe Facts” and “Him Too,” respectively, which both said were in support of confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the supreme court. In an interview afterward with The Collegian, Owens spoke directly both to survivors of sexual violence as well as victims of false accusations of sexual violence. “I would tell them to find their voice, and that they should be unbelievably frustrated and angered by the fact that sexual assaults have instead been politicized and that false accusations against politicians and political parties has become the norm,” Owens said. During their speeches, Kirk and Owens addressed TPUSA’s stances on topics such as racism, sexual violence and the impor-

tance of capitalism. Kirk said free enterprise, a central value to TPUSA, is essential to the success of the American economy. He discussed how the market uses price, profit and private property to communicate between entrepreneur and consumer, and how government intervention distorts that communication.

“One of the things that’s important for us is to make sure everybody has their free speech rights tonight. Regardless of anybody’s viewpoint, we want to make sure everybody’s heard, and they have a chance to do that.” RYAN HUFF CHIEF SPOKESPERSON FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER

Owens, who also visited CSU last year, talked about the belief that a person of color cannot be a conservative. She said Americans

today are the least oppressed people of all time, and that those who feel oppressed are “learning (their) own oppression.” In response to this, Kirk said that the left perpetuates issues of oppression to create victims to control them. CSU’s chapter of TPUSA was also in attendance, as were the Young Libertarians of America. Isabel Brown, president of TPUSA at CSU and former speaker of the Associated Students of Colorado State University Senate, was joined by other CSU members to support their sister chapter. “The thing about Colorado is that we’re a really tight-knit community between all the TPUSA chapters throughout Colorado,” Brown said. “We just love coming and supporting each other’s events.” Opposite the event arena, the Denver Socialists held a protest of TPUSA. Brett Smith, a Democratic Socialists of America member, a student veteran and student at the University of Colorado Denver, explained why they were protesting the event. “(TPUSA) is really fighting for less voice for those who are underrepresented in the first place. They use that kind of same language to

turn it on their head to say that no — conservative, white, rich kids are the ones being downtrodden,” Smith said. Jovi Val, a self-described political activist from Denver, explained why he believes the Campus Clash tour is so important. “(Kirk and Owens) are not as controversial as people see them as to be, but they are painted that way because they are hitting college campuses,” Val said. TPUSA Boulder Chapter President Ashley Mayer introduced both speakers with a short speech thanking CU for being a free speech campus and allowing them to hold their event. After their speeches, Kirk and Owens hosted a Q&A that encouraged those who ideologically disagreed to speak up. During his closing remarks, Kirk thanked the audience for their respectful participation, especially during the Q&A. “Thank you for coming out. Those of you that disagreed, thank you for doing so respectfully. We so appreciate it and we’re like you,” Kirk said. “I hope the Democratic party looks more like you.” Meagan Stackpool can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Why we need Columbus Day, even if we hate Columbus Arisson Stanfield @OddestOdyssey

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. Today, Oct.8 is Columbus Day — a time set aside to remember the contributions of the Italian explorer, colonizer and all around egomaniac Christopher Columbus. In recent years the popularity of the holiday has begun to waver. Many feel it is outright offensive to nationally recognize a man who ushered in an era of manifest destiny and subjugation of indigenous peoples. Students at Colorado State University even feel that Columbus day ought to be abolished or at least replaced with a holiday rec-

ognizing the indigenous peoples that were so often the victims of Western expansion. But as strange as it may sound, we need Columbus Day. Established as a Federal holiday in 1934, Columbus Day actually has its civic origins as a celebration in Colorado. According to the Library of Congress, Denver was the first city to recognize Columbus Day as a public holiday. Interestingly enough some of the most vocal opposition to the holiday originates from the same place. According to an article published in the European Journal of American History, anti-Columbus Day protestors actually stopped a parade in the city of Denver as far back as 1992. The same article reports that Glenn Morris, an associate professor at CU Denver, called Columbus day, “The most important issue facing Indian country today.” It is understandable why people like Professor Morris

consider Columbus Day to be an obstruction to social progress. To large portions of the country, Columbus Day represents the blatant glorification of white supremacy, genocide and the rampant colonialism of bygone eras. The Transform Columbus Day Alliance based in Denver claims that continuing to celebrate the holiday will, “teach children to honor a cruel and brutal man.” This perception is not the invention of anti-American agents or wound up liberals it is deeply rooted in fact. It was Columbus himself who stated in his captain’s log that, “I could conquer the whole of them with fifty men, and govern them as I pleased.” It was statements like these that helped to make Columbus controversial even in his own lifetime. Felipe Fernández-Armesto, a faculty member at Oxford University states that many of Columbus’s contemporaries viewed him as negatively

as people do today. Many who traveled with him saw him as a threat to the stability of his own colonies and considered him a man of poor reason, few scruples and a penchant for exploration and fable. So if people from both the past and present seem to despise this man why should we even continue to recognize Columbus Day? We ought to preserve this day in history because Columbus Day is about more than a European explorer who met his demise in destitution and disgrace more than half a millenium ago. We need to remember Columbus because of what he represents. Though he may mean many different things to many different people, like Collegian columnist Mikaela Rodenbaugh’s article last year points out, there are some things we should all be able to agree on. For instance, Columbus was a plague to many in the so called

New World. To indigenous people he could be considered a merchant of death, a catalyst for catastrophe and the harbinger of a new world order. It is also true that he was one of the greatest explorers in modern history and through his wit and bravery was able to complete many a perilous journey across the Atlantic. A feat that few, up until that point, had succeeded in. When Columbus arrived in the West Indies he contributed to creating a world that was truly connected physically. To discard him as a useful figure of remembrance is to sever our ties to this rich, bloodied, terrible and awesome history. Columbus Day should not be celebrated, but it should be observed. It ought not be a day for parades and songs but for solemn reflection and contemplation. Arisson Stanfield can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

Tony Frank resigns to pursue Fortnite career 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 editor’s notes are subject to being offended. FORT COLLINS - The soon to be former Colorado State University President Tony Frank’s latest long-winded email informing students he would be stepping down from his position came as a shock to

many. His resignation was certainly surprising, but his next move is even more out of the blue. After talking with Collegian reporters after his Fall Address, Frank let it slip that he resigned in order to pursue a career in line with his latest passion: Fortnite. “Ever since season 3 came out in February, I’ve been questioning what I’m still doing here at this school,” Frank explained. Frank credited much of his aloofness and lack of campus engagement last year to the

game, specifically, attempting to obtain The Reaper battle skin. “I really liked the facial hair on that guy. Almost as good as mine, it was like they made that skin just for me!” He now realizes that is “futile” to pretend that he can be both a university president and Fortnite streamer at the same time. In addition to creating quite the buzz around campus, Frank’s interest in pursuing a future as a professional Fortnite player has garnered some

attention from the big names in the industry. “It’s great to see people with an academic background taking up the game,” said popular streamer Ninja, who will grow a goatee in Frank’s honor this month. “It goes to show that Fortnite isn’t just for teenagers and virgins.” It certainly isn’t, and going forward Frank’s emergence in the gaming community may inspire other academics to realize how fun Fortnite is. Specifically, Frank hopes that those working in his office will see the merits

that hours of playing Fornite can provide that a college education can’t. “I got all this sh*t from Blanche Hughes and Rick Miranda about my Fortnite habits, and I can’t wait to show them they were all wrong to doubt me,” Frank said before falling into a fit of maniacal laughing. Frank’s resignation is a certainty, but Fortnite fame isn’t, so we at The Collegian wish Dr. Frank the best of luck! Satirical writer Ethan Vassar can be reached at letters@ collegian.com.

CSU overcomes third quarter collapse to defeat San Jose State By Eddie Herz @Eddie_Herz

The Colorado State University Rams held on to earn a much-needed 42-30 victory over the San Jose State University Spartans Saturday night. CSU began the game firing on all cylinders and led 28-0 at the end of the first half. The opening two quarters of play represented the most balanced, all-around single-half performance in 2018 by the Rams. When the third quarter began, it seemed as if CSU was going to coast to a stress-free victory. But as Head Coach Mike Bobo made a switch at quarterback, the Spartans simultaneously came roaring back. SJSU scored 30 points in the third quarter, capped by a safety to give the Spartans their first lead of the game. SJSU snatched all of CSU’s momentum in a matter of minutes as the Rams quickly collapsed. CSU’s defense, in particular, was exhausted and faced with adversity. The defensive unit and team altogether resiliently responded. “I reiterated what I said at the hotel, I said ‘it’s gonna be a roller coaster game,’” Bobo said. “We probably didn’t imagine that it was gonna be this big of a roller coaster ride.” Redshirt senior quarterback

K.J. Carta-Samuels returned to the game for Collin Hill late in the third quarter, and eventually led the Rams to a crucial 11-play, 83-yard touchdown drive. This gave CSU 35-30 lead it would never surrender. On the following possession, freshman cornerback Rashad Ajayi took back a Josh Love interception 55 yards to the end zone. Senior safety Jordan Fogal put the game on ice minutes later by picking off Love’s heave to the end zone. CSU improved to 2-4 with the win and 1-1 in Mountain West play. Carta-Samuels came out poised, despite his starting quarterback job being up in the air in the days leading up to the game. The Washington transfer set a career high by throwing four touchdown passes in the opening half. In total, Carta-Samuels completed 14-27 passes and threw for 162 yards on Saturday. Wide receivers Preston Williams and Warren Jackson each accounted for two touchdowns in the first half. The game marked the second multi-touchdown performance of Jackson’s career. Notably, the Rams finally found a way to establish a rushing attack after exponentially struggling to do so this season. Senior running back Izzy Matthews eclipsed 100 yards

on the ground for the fourth time of his career. Matthews accumulated 125 yards on 22 carries. The running back made his presence known early by notching 16-yard and 22-yard scampers on CSU’s first offensive drive. Before facing SJSU, Matthews had rushed for only 208 yards in five games. “(Having a run game) was awesome,” Carta-Samuels said. “To get in second and short and be able to have the whole playbook wide open is a pretty awesome feeling.” Defensively, junior college transfer and Germany native Jan-Phillip Bombek emerged as an impact defensive lineman. Bombek became the first Ram since Kevin Davis in 2016 to record three sacks in a game. “We got challenged this week by our coach to get after the quarterback,” Bombek said. “We had (a) really good week of practice (the) past two weeks during the bye week.” Collectively, CSU combined for six sacks after only earning two sacks this season before Saturday. The Rams are back in action at Canvas Stadium next Saturday when they face the 3-2 New Mexico Lobos at 2 p.m. Eddie Herz can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

CSU fans need to savor any improvement left in this year’s team Mack Beaulieu @Macknz_James

After an up-and-down game in a scary win for Colorado State football against San Jose State, Rams’ fans should take some satisfaction in a win while realizing that this season is now preparing for next season. Aside from just getting a win, CSU’s improvement showed most in the defensive front and running game against the Spartans. Things started to go downhill fast in the second half and what we saw on the field, along with the fact that Coach Mike Bobo is not going anywhere, makes it seem like the Rams are building for next year.

The success the team had in the run game was by far its best of the year and came against a team who had a surprisingly stout defense, 50th in the nation, coming into the game. Senior Izzy Matthews led a rushing attack that looked the part of a pro-style offense as the Rams spread the ball around to their other backs as well as redshirt junior Brendan Fulton. The improvement bodes well for the season going forward, but also next year when Matthews has graduated. The Rams will have to find an effective and balanced game plan or someone will have to step up into being the primary ball carrier. Regardless, it seemed like the Rams were creating more holes with their young offensive line and being more creative with their play calling. The passing game was un-

usually quiet as redshirt senior K.J. Carta Samuels threw for only 162 yards, despite having four touchdowns. Carta-Samuels had not been very effective in the first half, but the run game was clicking and the Rams were winning big. Shortly into the third quarter, this season’s strange quarterback question continued. Carta-Samuels was once again pulled from the game while his team had the lead, in order for Colin Hill to lead two three-and-outs. The signal-caller threw a pick on his first play back in the game. The switch is something Bobo has done in every game so far this season and it is hard to see the logic at this point. Bobo is constantly juggling not wanting to throw away the current season while getting his future quarterback in order. The Rams’ defense went

on to lose any strong play it showed in the first half for most of the third quarter, signaling that all was not cured by a bye-week. The Rams began to be beat over the top and down the middle of the field in the passing game and the pass rush they generated in the first half disappeared as well. Even against an 0-4 team, the six sacks and stingy run defense in the first half are strong indicators for growth for a team that only had two sacks in its first five games. Bobo has been very clear, especially since the loss to Illinois State University, that there is competition at every position.

buyout that will be activated if he is fired this season and CSU has plenty of other reasons, like his health and the teams inexperience, to not think it is time to pull the trigger. The Rams came out with a win on Saturday and with five of the next six teams being over .500, it is likely to be one of the last this year. What was once a palpable excitement in the locker room has turned into distaste for the year, with the concluding game inching closer. At this point, fans should take solace in the small improvements that CSU showed for three of four quarters against the Spartans because for the time being, that is all the coaching staff has to look forward to as well.

Loveland VinCon brings old games into new light By Graham Shapley @shapleygraham

In video games, the constant improvement of hardware means that today’s consoles are a steep upgrade from the consoles that started it all in the 1970s. In an industry that is constantly outdoing itself, it’s easy to get left behind. At VinCon Colorado, the vintage video game convention, old tech had a chance to shine. More than half of the convention floor, flooded with video game fans of all ages, was taken up by

dozens of televisions and video game consoles from years past. From the very earliest home consoles with the simplest graphics to the most recently released generation, representatives from the nearly fifty-year history of video games strutted their stuff and brought old games to the modern day. Set in the southern hall of the Ranch Events Center in Loveland, VinCon felt crowded despite its relatively small attendance compared to larger conventions. “I really love going to smaller

cons like this because I get to interact with people a little more personally,” said Cassie O’Gorman, a vendor with Dragon Wyck Embroidery. “At a smaller con, I get to find what makes people the happiest. It’s a lot harder to get that at a big con.” O’Gorman travels to cons around the country to sell Dragon Wyck’s wares, embroidered bags, banners and custom license plates made to order at the con. “(At big conventions) everything is going so fast,” O’Gorman said. “Big cons are interesting,

there’s a lot of stuff going on. I love small conventions, though, because the community is what really matters.” Walking in, the first thing that attendees were treated to was an enormous inflatable visage of one of gaming’s most famous mascots, Mario. His grin loomed over the tournament area and in one instance was knocked over by an overenthusiastic child looking to hug the shoe of his hero. Attendees were also given several tokens to participate in video game themed carnival

games for prizes. Throughout the day, the con held several tournaments and live videogame-styled chiptune music by local artists played over speakers. Over 30 console and arcade tournaments and vendors selling video games, art and many other types of collectibles were scattered around the ballroom, as proof of the growth of this event since its start in 2015.

5 ways to survive midterms this spooky season By Miranda Moses @mirandasrad

It’s fall, which means people are looking cute in scarves, and soup is an acceptable meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Unfortunately, the change in season is also a signal for the spookiest part of Colorado State University’s semester: midterms. With the looming burden of tests interrupting traditional binge watching of “Hocus Pocus” every other day, midterms can put students in a discerning life or death situation in terms of GPA. While the stress may feel unavoidable, here are a few tips on how to survive the testing period.

1. Think about Thanksgiving. Sometimes motivation is hard to find, so keeping thoughts of Thanksgiving food near your heart during this trying time can help. Perhaps equate academic success to homely prizes. For example, if you get 90 percent on a test, reward yourself with seven dinner rolls instead of your usual four. If you smashed that presentation worth 60 percent of your grade, even though you stuttered a little bit, reward yourself with four more servings of mashed potatoes. Everything is unarguably better when potatoes are involved, even studying. Stanford University psychologist Robert Bjork suggests that simply moving to a

different room to study could increase both your concentration and retention levels. 2. Check in with your friends. Chances are if you feel like you are drowning, other people are too. Checking in with your frat brother who’s exclamations of “bro” have seemed a little faint lately or that one roommate who hasn’t come out of her room in five days is a simple way to take care of other Rams. There are multiple seats at a library table for a reason. 3. Be confident in your knowledge. It has recently been pointed out by several adulty-adults that drinking six Monsters, and staying up for three days to binge study for a test is not

exactly healthy. While starting early and not procrastinating are ideal practices, this isn’t always a true reality for students, which may lead to excessive last minute cramming. If you are feeling delirious at 4 a.m. looking at stats flashcards, which are starting to look like a first grader wrote them, it is okay to just go to bed. Let Jesus or any other higher being that you may believe in take the wheel and have confidence in the knowledge you attained throughout the semester from working hard. For tutoring help, the TILT building is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday-Thursday with hours changing Friday through Sunday.

4. Let your bosses know what is up. A lot of students have to work in order to pay rent and afford their education. Being a full-time student who also supports themselves to any degree is a combination destined for high stress. Letting your boss know that you are perhaps feeling delicate during this midterms season is not a weak or unprofessional thing to do. Communicate with them about scheduling, because at the end of the day many students are working to graduate. 5. Buy fuzzy socks. This will indisputably help. I don’t make the rules.

U-Turn continues academic success efforts for CSU students By Elena Waldman @waldmanelena

Midterms have approached and students are gripping on for dear life as they get hit with projects, essays and exams. It isn’t easy being a student; while many appear to have everything under control, balancing social life, school and work can be difficult.

“For students, it’s the opportunity if you’re having challenges, to be able to find those resources and build a plan that works for you... to be able to share your story with someone who listens and is just helping you without judgment.” LORY-ANN VARELA DIRECTOR OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS AT THE INSTITUTE FOR LEARNING AND TEACHING

For students who are struggling academically and otherwise or who just want to improve their

skills to excel at CSU, the Technical Institute for Learning and Teaching (TILT) hosts U-Turn: A One- Stop Shop for Academic and Transition Success on Oct. 9. U-Turn focuses on giving students resources to help them get on track with personal counseling meetings and academic workshops. Students are also encouraged to participate in the 25 minute workshops that will be occurring from 12 pm to 3 pm, which provide information on study strategies, time management and test-taking skills. People attending the event will first fill out a personal assessment highlighting their strengths and possible areas that need improvement, then meet with a navigator who will help them build an action plan and guide them towards different resources on campus that will be useful to them going forward. “We have close to 100 volunteers who are staff all across campus who are coming in and doing different shifts to meet with students,” said Lory-Ann Varela, director of Academic Affairs at the Institute for Learning and Teaching. “Students who may not be meeting expectations yet get an invitation that they can set up an

appointment time, other students sometimes on request will get appointment times, but you can just drop in.”

MORE INFORMATION ■ U-Turn will be held 10 am to 4 pm

October 9 in the Lory Student Center Grand Ballrooms A and B. More information is available at tilt.colostate. edu.

The goal of U-turn is to help students who are struggling to turn their academic performance around when there is still enough time left in the semester. The program works with CSU professors to assess student performance so that students that aren’t meeting certain academic expectations can be reached out to and accommodated. “If they (professors) can provide some early assessments during those first four weeks so that a student gets a sense of how well their study strategies and behaviors are, then they can still modify some of that in time to turn things around before it’s too late in the semester,” said Becky Villalpando, the Director of Outreach

and Support in the Collaborative for Student Achievement. “We try to align things so that a student knows early on if there appears to be concern and can meet with someone and take action.” Since it was brought to CSU almost 10 years ago, U-turn has nearly doubled in attendance size due to its positive response from students and faculty. Though it is tailored towards helping people meet academic expectations, it also helps students in many other

areas of their academic life. “For students, it’s the opportunity if you’re having challenges, to be able to find those resources and build a plan that works for you,” Varela said. “And to be able to share your story with someone who listens and is just helping you without judgment. I think that’s an important life skill- you do it here, you do it on your own, you do it throughout your life.” Elena Waldman can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

18th annual Diversity Symposium highlights University subcultures By Henry Netherland @netherlandhenry

From Oct. 1 to Oct. 5, the Lory Student Center at Colorado State University hosted the Diversity Symposium where students could attend a myriad of presentations dealing with issues in diversity on campus. The presentations were held open to the general public and were separated into digestible time blocks allowing students to attend them in between classes. “Structure and Strategy: the Feminist Fight Club at CSU” was presented by Cori Wong, assistant vice president for gender equity and Megan Skeehan on Oct 1. The demonstration went over Feminist Fight Club’s overarching goals and strategies for the future. “This particular presentation we’re focusing on sharing information about the struc-

ture and the strategy behind the development of the Feminist Fight Club at CSU,” Wong said. “What we’ve already done and and why so that when we move forward in the next year and beyond that it’s clear what the purpose of the Feminist Fight Club is.” The various demonstrations scheduled throughout the week attempted to touch on diversity in every aspect of life at CSU, even digitally. “Invisible Diversity: Examining the Online CSU Student” was presented by Amy Quinn-Sparks, Karin Skogerboe Bright and Joy Nyenhuis on Oct 4. The trio discussed diversity in CSU’s online programs as well as how aspects of in-person education can be applied to online teaching for the 11 percent of CSU students taking advantage of these programs. “We worked as a team to do research and really be able to bring the research practice approach to the presentation,”

Nyenhuis said. “(We) gave some thought to what our target audience, who might be attending. So we assumed we would have some students, faculty folks that would be attending and we really wanted to raise awareness about CSU online students; who we’re serving and the impact of what that means for how we really promote the land-grant mission and increase accessibility to education.” Closing out the symposium Oct. 5 was outreach director for the Southern Poverty Law Center Lecia Brooks with her presentation about the history of the Civil Rights Movement and the importance of nonviolent protest. “What I tried to bring the audience today was an overview on nonviolent civil protest,” Brooks said. “Why it’s important how nonviolent protests really can produce change over the long run. Remind people

that change happens slowly and we have to have a commitment to it.” According to Brooks, presentations about diversity are essential in university culture because they allow listeners to open their mindset. “I think it offers us an opportunity to kind of get outside

of ourselves and our own experience,” Brooks said. “It opens up a whole new thing. Sometimes you’re surprised by what you hear and what you learn.” Henry Netherland can be reached at entertainment@.com.
