Fort Collins remembers, honors the memory of Matthew Shepard By Charlotte Lang @ChartrickWrites

On Oct. 6, 1998 near Laramie, Wyoming, 21-year-old Matthew Shepard was beaten, tied to a fence and left for dead. Shepard was found the next day by a cyclist and taken to the Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins where, six days later, he died from severe head trauma. The story of the college student, attacked and murdered for

his sexual orientation, still resonates throughout the Fort Collins community twenty years after the event. The Fort Collins and Colorado State University community have dedicated many thoughts and events to the anniversary, from productions inspired by Shepard to personal emotions on the story. Jaye Cooney, a performer in “The Laramie Project” for the University’s theatre program, said Shepard’s story is important to

them and the community. “As a younger closeted kid, Matt’s story was one of the first I had heard when it came to violent discrimination,” Cooney said. “And as I got older, I experienced violence similar to Matthew … I went into this process fully aware of most of the details: how the nation responded, the backlashes, etc.” Cooney prepared for their role in “The Laramie Project” by traveling to the scene of the crime and visiting the places mentioned in the

script. Understanding the setting, to Cooney, is an important piece of being genuine. Cooney also understands the violence facing the LGBTQ community, as they’ve witnessed and been victim to such behavior. They said that the full cast and workers on the production have been working hard to successfully and truthfully tell the story.

With national student debt climbing, bills to pay and a GPA to maintain, mental wellness often takes a back seat in student’s daily lives. Today is World Mental Health Day, where worldwide education, advocacy and awareness of mental health is recognized. A recent study conducted by the National Alliance on Mental Illness revealed that “suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S., the third leading cause of death for people aged 10–14 and the second leading cause of death for people aged 15–24.” “People are hesitant to address the stigma associated with mental health because, at a certain point, that conversation becomes, ‘How can we make living with a mental health issue or disability better?’” said Henry Stowers, director of health for CSU student government. “The answers to that question threaten our economic, academic, and political structures as well as many of our own internal biases.” Alan Burd is a life consultant serving CSU and the greater Fort Collins area and weighed in on mental wellness. He said one of the most important developments in global mental health is the growing epigenetic and inter-generational trauma. This means scientists have known how trauma affects

CITY

Locker programs will continue with new operating restrictions By Samantha Ye @samxye4

Nobody really won at City Council last night, as neither appellants nor program leaders got the decision they wanted for homeless lockers in Fort Collins. The appeal to overturn approval for the 24/7 homeless lockers run by the Fort Collins Mennonite Fellowship, was unanimously rejected, while the locker project itself was hit with the three additional operating restrictions it had skirted at a previous hearing. The FCMF, who runs the project on their property at 300 E. Oak St., must abide by these conditions. This decision creates a sharp change in the project which has been operating with minimal supervision and 24-hour access for the past three weeks. Locker manager Michael Ranieri expressed a mix of happiness the project was not shut down, but disappointment at the operating restrictions. “I don’t know what’s going to happen now,” Ranieri said. “But it’s self-evident (Councilmembers) don’t see the full

picture of this situation, which is maybe the most unfortunate part of it.” The Planning and Zoning Board had previously approved the locker project in July on the single condition FCMF install a security camera with a seven-day backup to monitor locker activity. The decision was appealed in August by 47 residents and business owners in the neighborhoods around Old Town Library. In a summary of their position, appellants alleged the P&Z Board failed to properly consider the health and safety impact of the lockers, among other violations, and asked Council to overturn the Board’s decision. Brett Olsen, the attorney who spoke on behalf of the appellants, said the lockers would cause a slew of “negative externalities,” including sanitation and safety issues, increased noise and confrontations, and a strain on limited public services. Asking the neighbors to “bear that cost,” Olsen said, is just “bad public policy.” Brian Connolly, the attorney representing the appeal opposition, and FCMF pastor Steve Ramer asked Council to reject

the appeal and allow the locker program to continue with the limited operating conditions. The locker support side used many of the same arguments for the program as they did before and at the July hearing. This included statements that the fears of lockers causing safety issues are unfounded and any supervisional or time requirements would be unfeasible and harm the project.

NEW LOCKER GUIDELINES ■ Lockers must be supervised at

all hours of accessibility. ■ Lockers may only operate between the hours of 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. ■ Locker staff must restrict locker access outside of hours of operation. In regards to safety concerns, there has been a significant increase in police calls in the area around the church, not including the library, said Kevin Cronin, assistant chief of Fort Collins Police Services. While the area has averaged

four to seven calls every 30 days for the past year, since the lockers have been put to use, the calls have jumped to 18. Many of the calls were for camping, drug-related issues and bodily waste, leading to some warnings, arrests and tickets. Cronin said this was only the first 30 days, however, and might not be a good trend to rely on. It is also not clear if those called on had any relation to the lockers. “If you’ve got 18 calls in one month, something is not being monitored,” councilmember Ray Martinez said. City staff’s research of other comparable but larger homeless locker programs across the country suggested constant supervision and limited hours were critical to success. Supervision would likely just mean someone is on church property to immediately address any concerns which arise, councilmembers said. The original suggested hours of operation were 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., but Council moved the start time back when member Ken Summers noted that some locker guests may not be able to access the lockers before work. A request from Connolly to move the end time to 10 p.m.

was rejected until the Council sees further data on the locker usage. Council motioned to keep the locker program but with the added conditions. All six members present approved it. Ramer said he was disappointed but the program would definitely continue since they have already situated several guests in lockers. Ranieri said the new time limitations would definitely adversely affect the current guests. He is also not sure how a church of roughly 60 members will be able to handle 14 hours of daily locker supervision, especially without any City funding. “What are our next steps going to be? It’s basically impossible,” Ranieri said. “I don’t understand how they’re expecting us to possibly start supervising this place all day.” But, like Ramer, Ranieri is certain the locker project will continue. He hopes to install the full 20 lockers before winter sets in. Samantha Ye can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Grad student uncovers the past to understand human behavior By Jorge Espinoza @jorgeespinoza14

After enrolling in an Archeological Field School course, a hands-on crash course in archeology, firstyear graduate student Marie Taylor discovered her passion for studying humans of the past. Taylor, a non-traditional student who recently completed her bachelor’s degree, was working a desk job when she found her interest in learning more about people. “You come across lots of different types of people and wonder why they’re like that or how did they get to that position in their life,” Taylor said. “I just wanted to learn more about how you learn about that, so it propelled me to do more research into anthropology which is just that, the study of people, their culture, and their behaviors.” Taylor said a visit to Pine Ridge Reservation was a contributing factor for why she’s involved in anthropological work. Taylor said that before she started studying anthropology, she had a very ill representation of prehistoric peoples. When she got to Pine Ridge Reservation, she felt obligated to learn more about the conditions on the reservation. This lead her to learn more about the prehistoric context that has created said conditions. “I am very interested in the misrepresentation of peoples of the past,” Taylor said. “In the end, that made me more interested in the prehistoric part of (Pine Ridge Reservation’s history), the nonwritten stories that they have of their ancestral history and traditions, so I began to look into how do you research things that are not written

Shepard >> from page 1 “I empathize so much with Matthew’s experiences,” Cooney said. “I think we all knew how important it was to both Fort Collins and Laramie communities.” The Fort Collins community, in particular, has blown Cooney away by the reactions to Shepard’s story. “The reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, and while we have seen some negative responses online, we choose to focus on spreading that love and knowledge that comes with Matt’s story,” Cooney said. Fort Collins has also welcomed the national touring performance of “Conspirare: Considering Matthew Shepard” into the Lincoln Center for a onenight performance. According to the performance’s program guide, Conspirare is a Grammy-winning and internationally recognized choir.

down,” Taylor said that this interest led her to realize that the way to study this topic was through archaeology. “You can study people’s behavior, how people interacted, their culture, and traditions, through their remains and that’s kind of what sparked all of this,” Taylor said. After working with Taylor in the Archaeological Field School from May to July 2018, Madeline Kunkel, a third-year anthropology student, says Taylor’s passion for understanding the prehistoric history of people has been inspiring for peers like Kunkel who says Taylor has helped her find her passions and pursue them. “From the get-go, I really looked up to her. She is kind, fun and humorous. Not to mention incredibly knowledgeable about archaeology,” Kunkel said. “Through my work with her over the summer, I was inspired to go to graduate school like her and be more conscious of my ecological footprint.” The class led Taylor to research ceramic shards in Northern Colorado. Taylor said that the study of ceramics is important because ceramics usually denote sedentism, the practice of living in a place for a long period of time. Taylor added this is not something that was very popular in Northern Colorado, especially in the Fossil Creek area where her research took place. “It’s super interesting because in Northern Colorado, prehistorically, no one ever practices agriculture and typically the presence of ceramics is tied with the presence of agriculture and the practice of it,” Taylor said. Taylor added that she was inter-

ested in the presence of ceramics at the site since the people living there weren’t doing any sort of domesticated cultivation. This interest led her to research on the ceramics at the sites, one of the densest ceramic assemblages in all of that portion of Colorado. Taylor said that the research shows no correlation between having ceramics and living in one place. Instead, the research alludes that Fossil Creek may have been a seasonal meeting place. “The research tells me that really there wasn’t a correlation between the presence of ceramics and settling down, so what I grasped from that was they were caching these pots, leaving them in a specific place, and hunting and foraging elsewhere and then coming back to specifically Fossil Creek,” Taylor said. “Fossil Creek was probably a seasonal meeting place. They probably came back seasonally, used the ceramics during the fall time to process plants and maybe even meat.” Taylor says that her findings also give a more well-rounded view of prehistoric human behavior. “We typically look at archeology and think of hunter and gathers who move throughout time and their main objective is to become sedentary or to stay in one place and practice agriculture, but instead we see this more variable kind of lifestyle,” Taylor said. “People were taking advantage of all their environmental resources and you could still practice that type of life and move about throughout time, you don’t have to eventually be farmers which I thought was really interesting.” Taylor said that it’s important to have better research on prehistoric

history in order to better understand the diversity of prehistoric and current human behaviors, adding that archaeology is very applicable to today in the idea that each person lives and expresses themselves differently. “People did that also in the past and I think that there needs to be two different types of research,” Taylor said. “One where we research people who write things down and one where we research peoples of the past who didn’t write things down and there needs to be a representation of both because it touches on ideas of cultural diversity and personality diversity.”

Taylor has been able to inspire others such as Alaura Hopper, a third-year graduate student studying anthropology, to enjoy their work and to be proud of it. “She has created this beautiful environment to work in where I feel like I have room to grow and develop,” Hopper said. “(Taylor) influences me to put my very best work forward and has given me great cause to think about the importance of my work.” Jorge Espinoza can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Their current project, “Considering Matthew Shepard,” is a vocal and orchestral performance, known as an oratorio, focused on retelling the story of Shepard’s life and death. As an oratorio, this performance focused on telling the story solely through music, without any costumes or scenery. According to the program, “the work is is an evocative and compassionate musical response to to the murder of Matthew Shepard.” Artistic Director Craig Hella Johnson wrote “Considering Matthew Shepard” as a way to give voice to his response to Shepard’s death. “This is meant to be a story about all of us and what it means to be human,” Johnson said. Johnson also said performing the story in Fort Collins has been a special stop on the tour for all of the performers. “It feels like we’re on sacred ground,” Johnson said. “We just feel this extreme gratitude to be here. It’s so profoundly meaningful.” Johnson also said he’d been

speaking with Shepard’s parents, Judy and Dennis Shepherd, and said they’d told him that the people of Fort Collins have been kind and good to them over the years. Michael Dennis Browne also worked on the oratorio as a poet and co-librettist, the writer of the words in an entirely musical production such as this. Browne said it’s been important to come to Fort Collins so close to the anniversary. The members of the Fort Collins community who came to support the production were quick to share their own memories of the event. One man said he’d been part of the Rainbow Chorus around the time of Shepard’s death and remembers singing in the hospital parking lot. Lisa Phelps, the first director of the CSU Pride Resource Center, also has memories attached to Shepard’s story, as she said the Pride Center was formed around the same time Shepard died. One memory Phelps said she has of that time is that of the homecoming float for CSU the weekend following Shepard’s at-

tack. While Shepard was in the Poudre Valley Hospital, a fraternity and sorority lifted a scarecrow on their float with deragotory things written on it, Phelps said. Phelps said some people tried to explain it as a coincidence since the theme for the float was Wizard of Oz. However, seeing as news reports explained how a cyclist mistook Shepard for a scarecrow caused many to believe it was an act against Shepard and the LGBTQ community. “At the time, there was a mix of emotions. There was anger and there was fear and there was also a lot of courage,” Phelps said. “There were also a lot of people who spoke out in support.” Phelps said she tries not to focus on the negative moments of that time and instead explained how there were people who came out of the woodwork to tell her that they didn’t believe what happened to Shepard was okay and that they wanted her and the LGBTQ community to be safe. “I don’t want to deny that that

happened,” Phelps said. “But I would really like to focus on people coming together.” An example of the community uniting, Phelps said, was when a small convenience store put up a sign condemning anyone who took part in the float or believed in what the derogatory writing said. “I didn’t feel unsafe but now I knew there were people who really cared,” Phelps said. Today, members of the Fort Collins and CSU community can still recognize Shepard’s story as something to learn from and unite against. Kara Anderson, a CSU employee at Braiden Dining Hall, said she’s grateful for the way the community has moved forward since Shepard’s death. “There’s a long history of violence in the LGBT community,” Anderson said. “But I’m grateful that we can define ourselves not by the tragedies of the past but by the vibrant culture we’ve established in the present.” Charlotte Lang can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Fort Collins adopts 100 percent renewable electricity resolution By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

On Oct. 2, Fort Collins passed a resolution 6-1 establishing the City’s goals of having 100 percent renewable electricity by 2030. Fort Collins, following Longmont, is the second city to commit to this energy goal out of the four cities that own Platte River Power Authority. “I think the Fort Collins community as a whole has always wanted to be a leader in a way that sustains the Earth and the environment that we work in and using the resources we have,” said Lisa Rosintoski, customer connections manager for Fort Collins Utilities. “It’s always been in the fiber of the community.” The resolution matches Colorado State University’s renewable electricity goal. Both CSU and Fort Collins are interested in the best way to achieve their goal, said Carol Dollard, a CSU energy engineer. “We are excited that the city and CSU have a shared goal (as well as many other businesses in town),” Dollard wrote in an email to The Collegian. This resolution is a step up from the previous Climate Action plan, which aimed for 80 percent less carbon emissions than 2005 levels. The resolution was really fueled by community support for renewable energy, said John Phelan, the energy services manager for the Fort Collins Utilities. With this, the City is analyzing the best way

Roalstad said. This triple bottom line may all converge together as prices for renewable energy are becoming more and more competitive, Rosintoski said. The other two cities that own PRPA are Loveland and Estes Park. Loveland’s City Council has not talked about a renewable electricity goal said Jacki Marsh, Loveland’s mayor, but Marsh believes the goal is not a stretch. “I support it with the same caveats as PRPA; we must maintain reliability and affordability,” Marsh wrote in an email to The Collegian. Although talks on renewable electricity plans have not started in Estes Park, Todd Jirsa, Estes Park’s mayor, said that PRPA’s integrated resource plan will help guide Estes Park towards the future. “I can assure you the Town and Platte River Power Authority are working together to understand and meet the needs of the Estes Park community,” Jirsa wrote in an email to The Collegian. Rosintoski hopes that working together could align the cities through PRPA’s integrated resource plan. “I can’t speak for Fort Collins... (but) the more people who are problem-solving for a solution, the better the solution and the better the comradery to get there,” Rosintoski said. “You have a lot of smart people on it, how can you fail?” Julia Trowbridge can be reached at news@collegian.com.

to reach this new goal from a triple bottom line of system reliability, financial sustainability and environmental responsibility. “And other (businesses) were like ‘this is important to us because the workforce we’re trying to attract wants these qualities in a company and the place that they work around renewable electricity,’” Phelan said. “It’s not as simple as just the price of electricity.”

OTHER ARTICLE ■ See Leta McWilliams’ column

“Fort Collins sets good example for renewable energy” on page 6.

Steve Roalstad, communications and marketing manager for PRPA, said that 32 percent of the electricity they provide is renewable. PRPA has tripled their contract for purchasing wind energy and plans to buy 20 megawatts of solar energy. The overall goal of PRPA is to have 50 to 52 percent of their energy sources be renewable by 2021. With PRPA’s three pillars that match the triple bottom line, PRPA is initiating an integrated resource planning process to best satisfy renewable energy wants and needs, Roalstad said. “We understand our customers want more and more to move toward a cleaner energy future,”

Acknowledge Latinx contributions to America Kenia Ortiz @Kenia_Ortiz

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by The Collegian or its editorial board. The Latinx/ Hispanic community makes up 17.8 percent of America’s population, making it the nation’s largest racial minority group. As Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close its important to recognize the contributions Latinx individuals have to American society. The Latinx population, culture and influence is highly prevalent in American society and so should be the recognition of it’s contributions. The main, and seemingly only known Latinx influencer in America is Cesar Chavez and his fight for rights of farm workers across the United States. Aside from Cesar Chavez, hardly any other Latinx influ-

encers are recognized even though many have made great contributions to today’s society. Guillermo González Camarena, a Mexican electrical engineer, was the inventor of the first color TV screen and his invention was used by NASA in their 1979 mission to take photographs and videos of Jupiter. To this day television remains as one of the highest forms of entertainment and use for education. They are used in schools, homes, hospitals and film productions. If it were not for Camerena, we would not enjoy the luxury of watching movies on a colored screen. Luis Ernesto Miramontes Cárdenas, a Mexican chemist, was the inventor of oral contraceptives. Cárdenas synthesized the hormone norethisterone, in order to make oral birth control. In 1956, Cárdenas and two senior chemists were granted a U.S. patent for oral contraceptives. Nicaraguan inventor Fernando Torres is to thank for the

invention of the SIM card. The SIM card is used to store cellular data such as location, phone number, contact lists and text messages. Even during the time that Latinx contributions were helping improve American society, American society pushed members of the Latinx community to the side.

“America should be willing to recognize and teach about Latinx contributions in American society for more than its food and music.” During the 1940s Mexican-American students were sent to segregated schools. According to Fransisco Macías, a senior legal information analyst, Mexicans were seen as inferior in personal hygiene, ability and their economic outlook. This led to Méndez v. Westminster, a case that challenged

Fort Collins sets good examples for renewable energy policies Leta McWilliams @LetaMcWilliams

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by The Collegian or its editorial board. The City of Fort Collins took big steps in regards to renewable energy last week by adopting a 100 percent renewable energy transition mandate. This is great news for Fort Collins, setting an example for other cities to take the initiative in saving the planet. Fort Collins is now one of nine cities in Colorado striving towards 100 percent renewable energy by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The City Council voted 6-1 in approval, with even the naysayer believing it’s a good idea, stating that he only voted no because he didn’t want it to be seen as a broken promise if it turns out to be unattainable. Almost 90 cities across the nation have made the pledge to go 100 percent renewable energy. With President Donald Trump

taking America off of the Paris Climate Accord and dismantling the Environmental Protection Agency, we need as many cities as possible moving toward this mandate. We need to do as much as we can to save the planet and insure success for future generations. Many argue against clean energy because it has the potential to harm local economies and take jobs away. However, according to Nick Francis, member of the Fort Collins Sustainability Group, the mandate will only strengthen Fort Collins’ economy. He states it “will create new business opportunities, lower energy bills, and build a resilient future for Fort Collins.” Fort Collins and Colorado State University have been doing a lot in regards to clean energy. Tony Frank signed a pledge in 2017 stating CSU would rely on 100 percent renewable energy by 2030. The university then received almost 75 proposed projects in order to help CSU reach its renewable energy goal. CSU also pushed for a “green tariff,” a tax paid by the university to take credit for renewable electricity that already exists in the distribution system. Students are also taking initia-

tivesw to save the planet. Student organizations, such as Defend Our Future and Green Warrior, are all around campus encouraging students to fight for the planet. CSU’s Environmental Justice Working Group hosted Kathryn DeMaster, Ph.D to discuss several issues surrounding agriculture in the United States. Other students are part of organizations preventing clothing waste and sustainability. One student was even arrested after protesting a fracking project by the Extraction Oil & Gas Company in Greeley. Because of students like these, there is hope for the future of the planet. The sooner we all make the steps toward clean energy the sooner we are to a better future. Our generation is tired of watching the planet suffer. It is becoming more and more apparent that the federal government isn’t going to do anything to stop climate change, so it’s up to local governments to follow in Fort Collins’ footsteps and make changes toward renewable energy.

racial segregation in schools in Orange County, California in 1947. Méndez v. Westminister helped jump-start the dismantling of the separate but equal doctrine before Brown v. Board of Education. America correlates involvement in the military with patriotism yet Latinx are not considered true Americans despite that they have, and continue to play, a big part of the military. Twenty thousand Latinx fought in the Civil War, one of the most widely known American wars, and yet their participation goes unnoticed. While America was fighting in World War II, Mexico provided their air force to help America fight the Japanese during the Battle of Luzon in the Philippines. More than 500,000 Mexican-Americans fought in World War II, but it was not until the Korean War that Puerto Ricans were allowed to fight among other Americans when the U.S., and only when the U.S. was lacking man-power and turned to Puerto Rico for support. In 2015, according to the

Pew Research Center, Hispanic individuals made up 12 percent of all active duty personnel. America should be willing to recognize and teach about Latinx contributions in American society for more than its food and music. This is especially important when the current president of the United States wants to build walls not only against Mexico, but also Cuba, Puerto Rico and Central America leading American society to look down on the Latinx community. There is no way to encompass all of Latinx contributions to America in one column whether they are scientific, through military involvement or social justice. These chemists, servicemen and social justice activists should not go unrecognized and should be celebrated because they helped advance science, entertainment and equal rights in their attempts to make a difference in American society.

Top Jobs in the Fashion Industry How Much Does Your Dream Job Pay? By Chelsea Evic

Have a dream of working in fashion but feeling discouraged because of the high level of competition and assumption of low pay? The Fashion Industry is one of the top grossing industries in the world, expected to reach 1.65 trillion dollars in sales by 2020 according to the Foundation for Economic Education. The following is a list of the highest paying positions offered in this field.

Product Development: $36,930-$72, 440

Design: $46,000-$130,000

A career in Fashion Product Development involves the development and planning of products for manufacturers and retailers. Product developers work closely with the design and technical team to source materials, create tech packs (informative sheets that designers use to communicate with a manufacturer the necessary components needed to construct a product), and collaborate with factories regarding production. Qualifications to be Successful: -Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion Design and/or Merchandising -Strong understanding of textiles in clothing -Strong communication skills -Good problem-solving skills -Pay close attention to detail

Fashion Designers create original clothing, accessories and footwear. Their responsibilities entail sketching designs, and selecting fabrics and patterns. They also need to be able to give instructions on how assemble the products they design. Designers for a brand will typically decide on a theme for a collection, visit manufacturers and trade shows to pick up fabric samples, and present their ideas to the creative director.

How To Achieve a Hairstyle Worth Admiring? ”Start Low and Add as You Go” It’s better to start with a small amount of product (we’re talking pea-sized here) and work your way up, adding more as you need it instead of taking a chunk of gel or wax in between your palms and then drenching your hair with it. If you do overdo it on the product, wash your hair out and try again. Use Your Hairspray as a Finisher It’s a good idea to use hairspray if you already have product in your hair but you still can’t get it to hold its position. Instead of adding even more product, spritz some hairspray and you’ll avoid running into the problems

Wash Your Hair Before Styling It Before you even begin thinking about styling your hair, it’s a pretty good idea to wash it clean. Just like we want our skin in a clean state before we begin our skin care routine, we need our hair in a clean state before starting our hair routines. Use Products in Combination With Each Other There is no hard rule saying you can only use one product at a time. Combining the properties of two (and sometimes three or more) products creates a unique effect on your hair you wouldn’t be able to achieve otherwise. This effect depends on what you’re using together. Look Good, Feel Good - #barberlove from your local neighborhood barbershop- LUCKY 27

FOOTBALL

Rams football program doesn’t suck, our expectations do to a hospital for medical evaluation. Just under two weeks before the year would begin against the University of Hawaii, the Rams lost their leader. Even with his return, the team was different. Assistant Head Coach Ronnie Letson was given the play-calling duties in Bobo’s stead. Expectations coming into the year were of a healthy coach, calling the plays as he has in the past, igniting an offense that was coming off their best year under him. Instead, led by redshirt senior K.J. Carta-Samuels, the Rams sputtered to mediocrity on offense. With 152 total points through six games, an average of 25.3 per game, the offense fell back. Redshirt junior Preston Williams and senior Olabisi Johnson were going to not only replace Michael Gallup, but improve upon the Biletnikoff Award Finalist. The former has 578 yards and six touchdowns, the latter has tallied 452 yards and four touchdowns himself. The predictions of the wide receiver core taking a step forward may have been underrating their prowess. They have performed at a level that has been rarely seen by a receiving duo at CSU. They are thought of in a different light, an appreciative light. The expectations were moderate, with the results surpassing them, a welcome sight. The power of positive outlooks has driven several Rams’ fans and alumni to call for the job of Bobo. Director of Athletics Joe Parker has had his intelligence questioned as

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. Life is built on expectations. The lows in life are created by expecting too much, the highs are created when the original prediction is eclipsed. Coming into the 2018 Colorado State University football season, we had expectations. I expected an 8-4 season, a record that would outpace any of Coach Mike Bobo’s previous seasons at the helm. I assumed that Bobo would be the same coach of old, with a rejuvenated defense under new defensive coordinator John Jancek. The offense would continue their high-flying ways with an aerial attack to be reckoned with, senior running back Izzy Matthews doing the dirty work on the ground. In the Mountain West preseason poll, the Rams were expected to finish in the middle of the Mountain Division. Just behind the University of Wyoming, right above Utah State University. The preconceived notion of the season ahead overestimated many things while neglecting to consider the problems that could arise throughout the year. On Aug. 13, Bobo was admitted

well, with the contract of Bobo and its $8 million buyout looming large. When the contract was signed, the Rams were coming off multiple successful seasons under Bobo, bowl appearances serving as proof. The comeuppance was muted, with those around the program seeing Bobo as the adequate replacement for Jim McElwain who left the program for the University of Florida. No Twitter rants from those outside the program, no boos raining down from the crowd. Now 2-4 in his fourth season leading the team, the prior stated lack of apprehension in the direction of the program has lapsed. The pitchforks are out, the jobs of several being called to end. Fans and former Rams, without any knowledge of the program’s inner workings, are playing the role of supervisor. Their opinions are fluctuating with each week, run purely

from emotion and the week’s results. Saddled in the middle of the conference after a pair of matchups against their Mountain West foes, preseason polls appear to have seen the program in the right light. With a remaining schedule of Wyoming, Boise State University and the top-team in the Mountain Division, Utah State, the Rams are expected to falter. A bowl game has been dismissed by myself and several fans, with few holding their confidence. This iteration of the Rams’ football program is not frowned upon because they are drastically underperforming. With their quarterback, leading receiver and large parts of their offensive line graduating, plus a coaching staff in flux, they were supposed to be mediocre. It was going to be a rebuilding year with lowly results, yet we saw

them as more. The players spouted confidence, the coaches echoed the same. The fans took their words to heart, allowing each postgame monologue with a reporter to heighten their expectations. Now they are mediocre. Their preseason words reign hollow, the stands of die-hard fans are following suit. The underdog role coming into the year has lent itself to the new role of conference laughing stock. Do not be mad at the program though, the coaches and players either. Parker is not the scapegoat. My expectations, your expectations, even expert predictions were all wrong. Being wrong hurts. Next year, being realistic and lowering expectations will cure the ailment.

VOLLEYBALL

Rams continue conference homestand against Boise State By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

After a 1-2 road trip out of state, Colorado State University volleyball (12-6, 4-2) continues their three-game stint at Moby Arena against Boise State University (11-6, 3-3). Behind the lead of the second-best Mountain West hitting force by percentage (.249), the Rams head into the final conference stretch of their schedule perched at fourth in the standings.

“Boise always steps up and plays their best against us, and we just need to go in prepared for that.” KATIE OKEKSAK

Leading the scoring charge for the Rams is redshirt sophomore and 2017 Mountain West Newcomer of the Year, Breana Runnels. The Bakersfield, California native has a team-leading 266 kills on the year. As far as kills per set are concerned, Runnels is on pace to top her 366 record last season, the apex tally of the Rams’ attack. In their two matches last year, Runnels struggled with efficiency, hitting .200 or less in both matches. With a total of 23 kills on 61 attempts, second of the team in that span,

the outside hitter will look to improve on last year’s totals. Distributing for the Rams is team mainstay junior Katie Oleksak, who once again leads the conference in assists per set (11.17) and sits in the top25 in the nation (21). The top average comes only a year after Oleksak won 2017 Mountain West Player of the Year. Opposing their attack, the Broncos hoist the top defense in the Mountain West, limiting opponents to a mere .159 hitting percentage on the year, 26th in the nation at the midway point. Their prowess is led by senior Morgan Hughes and freshman Jessica Donahue, who have both tallied conference top-10 figures in blocks per set. Donahue, despite her youth, is 18th in the nation in rejections per set (1.45). Blocks have not evaded the Rams though as their 2.64 blocks per set on the year is ranked 23rd in the nation. In their previous 15 matchups, the Rams have been the victors in all but one, with the lone loss causing them to lose the Mountain West Championship in 2016. The Rams have seen Boise State’s outside hitter, senior Sabryn Roberts, multiple times. In their 2016 loss, Roberts accumulated 14 kills but was limited to a .222 percentage in the match. Last year Roberts was held to 20 kills on a sub-.200 percentage in both matchups

against the Rams. The Rams have made it a point to limit Roberts in the past, something they are likely to continue in this year’s iteration. A fast start will be as crucial for the Rams as last year when, in their two matchups against Boise State, the team experienced varied results. When they kept their hitting dynamic, the Rams swept the Broncos, with a .376 percentage to show for it. In their other matchup, the Rams only hit to the tune of .195, forcing the team to take the hosts to five sets, eventually defeating Boise State 17-15 in the final frame. The Rams face off with Boise State Oct. 11 with the match set to begin shortly after 7 p.m. Luke Zahlmann can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

STONED VS. SOBER

Twenty One Pilots’ ‘Trench’ salvages their reputation By Henry Netherland @NetherlandHenry

Coming away from a yearlong hiatus, Twenty One Pilot’s current primary revenue source is back with their third LP, “Trench.” Comprised of singer and keyboardist Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun, the duo has found massive success in their unique mashup of genres like hip-hop, EDM, reggae and ukulele ballads. To celebrate, I wanted to experience the new release both sober and stoned. Sober listening The record’s lead single,

Health >> from page 1 cognition, emotion and overall life functions for some time, though effects are still being mapped. “New studies show genetic damage from trauma is inherited, meaning trauma from any era in our species’ history may still be carried in our DNA today,” Burd said. “What I find exciting as a mental health professional, but mostly as a human being, is the suggestion that this can be healed. What does arrr human species free of trauma-based genetic damage even look like? I suggest that we may be able to find out.” Everybody’s mental health is important, yet some people can struggle to admit their own emotions and struggles. “Patriarchy is a huge part of manufacturing the stigma and cultural repression that has made mental health such a pertinent issue,” said Stowers. “Forcing people to repress their identities and expressions is the root of stigmatization in mental health. Our generation is actively working to dismantle centuries of toxic masculinity that has informed and institutionalized human behavior.” The CSU Health Network and the You@CSU Ramweb portal can provide information, resources and five free counseling sessions per se-

“Jumpsuit” has grown on me quite a bit since its initial release. Before, I felt the guitar chords were incredibly rudimentary, although I did enjoy the instrumental shift towards the halfway point. Through further listens, however, I have come to appreciate how much the group plays with dynamics. I just love how the group transitions from this soft almost ambient instrumental to an incredibly explosive ending. “The Hype” is an ‘80s synthpop tribute. It reminds me of a more commercial version of the new MGMT album, “Little Dark Age.” On the bridge, the group incorporates a ukulele into the electronic style and it actually does not sound too bad. “Nico and the Niners” would be a total throwaway track for me had it not been for the pitched down vocals on the chorus. In my opinion, this simple effect takes away some of the mester. “It can be hard to feel safe in a society that is often hostile toward mental health disparities,” Stowers said. “But, you know yourself better than anyone else, and sharing your experiences with a community that cares is an essential first step.”

TIPS ON KEEPING A LEVEL HEAD ■ Breathe. Deep breaths maintain regular heartbeats and calm the body. ■ Focus on one thing at a time. Remaining in the moment allows you to knock out tasks effectively one-by-one. ■ Take a break. In the middle of your “to-do” list, STOP. Then breathe, then refocus. ■ Eat something delicious. Treat yo’self. ■ Write down your thoughts. “Download” your mind onto paper, and let your mind rest. “Rams take care of Rams” can go beyond bringing your drunk friend water. If you or someone you know needs help with mental wellness or just want to know more, the CSU counseling services can be reached at (970) 491-6053. The Counseling Center is on the 3rd floor of the Health Center. Linc Thomas can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

whininess from Joseph’s voice and adds a pinch of grit. Their more reggae tinged tracks can be hit or miss for me, but in this case, the reggae influence did not really work on the verses. Fortunately, the earworm chorus salvages the track. “Legend” has a nostalgic quality in its chord progressions. The production is very much in the Twenty One Pilots wheelhouse, but the chords are reminiscent of a pop song from the ‘60s or even a britpop tune from the ‘90s. One smoke session later... Joseph sounds bitchier than ever during the first verse of “Morph.” However, the way he contrasts his boyish falsetto with his normal tone over these jazzy piano chords is spectacular on the chorus. It creates this call and response effect that I’m unsure the group has explored before. The more I listen to “Cut My

Lip,” the more aware I become of its absolute blandness. The vocal layering on the bridge sounds especially f*cking obnoxious in this state of mind.

CONCLUSIONS ABOUT ALBUM ■ Overall:

6/10

■ Best Songs:

“Jumpsuit” “Legend” “Levitate” “Morph” “Nico and the Niners” “The Hype” ■ Worst Song: “Cut My Lip” Unfortunately the record’s closer, “Leave the City” is not nearly as dynamic as the closer on “Blurryface,” “Goner.” Some

of the electronic instrumentation is decent. I mean it’s pretty, but, Joseph is completely passionless vocally even during what is supposed to be the climatic portion of the track. As much as I had enjoyed “Blurryface” and “Vessel,” after watching the duo skyrocket into international stardom, I questioned where they could even go stylistically that would not disappoint their now enormous fanbase. While there were only a few moments I felt emotionally encased, “Trench” gives me hope for the duo’s future. So long as the duo continues progressing and maturing their sound, they have the potential to possibly become one of the most influential artists this decade.

$4.99/lb

■ 1 pack of pasta

$1 (10 for $10 deal)

■ 3 cups of milk

$1.99

The first time I made this dish was back in the dorms last year. My best friend and I decided we wanted to have a really nice dinner without breaking the bank. Now, I know the idea of fish is sort of daunting for most college students. It’s pretty easy to screw up and it just sounds expensive. But when done right, it’s quick, easy and cheap. What’s for dinner: Baked tilapia and alfredo.

■ 2 tbsp butter

$2.88/8/oz

■ 2 tbsp flour

$12.24/5 lb bag

■ 3 mushrooms

$3.99/8oz

■ 1/2 white onion

$0.99/lb

■ 1 cup spinach

$2.99/10oz

■ 1 tbsp smoked paprika

$2.79/8oz

■ Total:

$33.86

Directions 1. Bring four quarts of water to a boil. Add salt and oil, respectively and add pasta. 2. Heat oven to 400 degrees. 3. While the pasta is cooking, melt butter over medium heat and add salt and pepper. Add diced onions and sliced mushrooms. Cook until onions are translucent. 4. Rub your fish with paprika, salt and pepper. Put on a greased sheet pan and place in the oven. Cook for 10 minutes and remove from the oven. 5. Add flour to the saucepan mixture and stir until a paste forms. Add milk one cup at a time and stir. Lower heat and add parmesan and spinach. If the sauce is too thick, add more milk until it reaches the desired consistency. 6. When pasta is tender to the touch, strain, place back in the pan, and remove from the heat. Add your sauce, and serve with the fish. Add parmesan as desired. Audrey Weiss can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.
