The crown JUUL on campus College students’ love of e-cigarettes continues

By Blake O’Brien @BTweetsOB

In the world of e-cigarettes, JUUL-clutching celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio have become the millennial Marlboro Man. A walk through the Morgan Library provides a snapshot of vaping’s popularity: JUULs

charging in the USB ports of laptops, pod-less friends asking to bum a hit, students sucking on e-cigarettes in the sleeve of their shirt and exhaling a gasp of invisible, mango-flavored vapor.

According to a Gallup poll on e-cigarettes from earlier this year, 16 percent of 18 to 29-year-olds use cigarettes regularly or occasionally, while 20

percent of the age-group vapes.

Jake Lane, an undeclared junior at Colorado State University, started vaping as a senior in high school. A couple of his friends came over to watch an episode of “Survivor” and they both had JUULs. One of them asked if Lane wanted to try it, and by the next weekend, he had one of his own.

“They had deals for $30

starter packs with a battery, charger and a four-pack of pods, which is a great deal,” Lane said, adding that he got this deal twice, the second after losing his initial purchase.

He is one of many millennials that have taken to the trend.

Craig Trumbo, a journalism professor at CSU, said that social normative factors play a major role in the acceptability

of vaping. This includes things like seeing others vape in public, on social media and in advertisements.

Trumbo has published multiple studies about the social acceptability of e-cigarettes that were supported by the Colorado School of Public Health at CSU and the National see JUUL on page 5 >>

First on-campus Friday game to close parking lots, roads

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

Make sure to plan your transportation accordingly for Colorado State University’s next football game.

Starting Friday, Oct. 26, parking lots and roads will close throughout the afternoon to accommodate for the football game against the University of Wyoming.

“Most of the game day policies and procedures will remain the same as a Saturday game, but certainly there are needed adjustments that will be made to ensure access to campus for faculty, staff and students when hosting a Friday evening, weekday game on campus.”

DELL RAE CIARAVOLA PUBLIC SAFETY AND RISK COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER

Although students are expected to attend classes, there will be no way to drive off of campus after 5 p.m. due to changes in traffic patterns.

According to an email from Public Safety and Risk

Communications Manager Dell Rae Ciaravola in May 2018, Athletics and University partners need to adjust student repark times for Friday’s home game, which is the first weekday game held in Canvas stadium.

Ciaravola wrote that CSU recognized this may pose an issue for students and faculty on campus Friday.

“Most of the game day policies and procedures will remain the same as a Saturday game, but certainly there are needed adjustments that will be made to ensure access to campus for faculty, staff and students when hosting a Friday evening, week-day game on campus,” Ciaravola said.

Joe Parker, CSU director of athletics, wrote in an email to The Collegian that, because CSU is a member of the Mountain West Conference, the television rights to University games are controlled by the conference’s TV partners. The TV partners have Thursday and Friday broadcast windows in addition to Saturdays. The conference’s partners are asked, on occasion, to participate in those non-Saturday windows.

“Last year, with our first year playing games on campus at Canvas Stadium, we requested that we be able to play all of our home games on Saturdays to help navigate that transition most successfully, and were accommodated in that request by the MW,” Parker wrote. “This

year we have one Friday home game, but were asked to possibly have another, the Sept. 8 Arkansas game, but requested that it be kept on a Saturday.”

Paul Kirk, associate athletics director for communications for athletics, wrote there’s a possibility for more football games to happen on Friday in the future, but Saturday is preferred.

Repark Students in Newsom Hall and Braiden Hall are expected to move their cars to either the northern lots on campus or the parking garage on College Avenue by 8 a.m. Friday.

Other students living on-campus who need to move their cars to a different location can start reparking Thursday, Oct. 25 at 4 p.m. All students must move their cars by 3 p.m.

Friday. Students who need to move their cars will receive an email from the Athletics Department, Ciaravola wrote in an email to The Collegian.

Some parking lots will be closed for the entire day, including the parking lot directly west of the stadium, the lots at Aylesworth, Newsom and Braiden Halls, the Hughes Way parking area and the parking lot at Walter Scott Jr. Bioengineering.

Road Closures Meridian Street, Pitkin Street and Lake Street will also close at 1 p.m. Friday. Due to these road closures, students

Starting Friday, Oct. 26, parking lots will be closed during various points of the day to accommodate for the football game against the University of Wyoming. PHOTO BY DAVIS BONNER COLLEGIAN

parked in the Morgan Library parking lot and Hartshorn parking lot before 1 p.m. are expected to leave those lots by 3 p.m.

All other parking lots, garages and street parking will be closed starting at 3 p.m.

Alternative Transportation Bike racks by the stadium will be temporarily relocated to Pitkin Street, east of the stadium.

At 1 p.m., Around the Horn will use an abbreviated route.

Starting at 5:15 p.m., it will then only run from Lake Street and College Avenue to the stadium.

The last route for Transfort busses at the Lory Student

Center Transit Center will be at 4:45 p.m., and then the busses will transition to game day service.

Starting at 5 p.m., all University entrances will direct traffic onto campus. Parking lots will be open for ticket holders at 5:30 p.m. and kickoff will be at 8 p.m.

Jeep catches fire near CSU Administration Building

By Austin Fleskes @Austinfleskes07

A Jeep parked near the Colorado State University Administration Building caught fire Monday, resulting in visible smoke across campus and damage to multiple other vehicles.

At 12:22 p.m., CSU Police Services received a call that a small fire had erupted in the passenger compartment of the Jeep before bursting into flames in a parking lot at the intersection of University Avenue and Amy Van Dyken Way. Engine 3 of the Poudre Fire Authority was dispatched and arrived on the scene, eventually dousing the flames at 12:33 p.m.

The fire ultimately affected

three vehicles: the Jeep itself and two neighboring cars on either side.

TIMELINE OF THE FIRE ■ 12:22p.m.:

Call is received ■ 12:22p.m.: Dispatch sent to scene ■ 12:33p.m.: Fire is fully put out ■ 12:34p.m.: Engine 3 clears scene ■ 4:04p.m.: Investigators finish clear Mark Swihart, a member of PFA and one of the investiga-

tors at the incident, said that a pickup truck parked on the passenger side of the Jeep was heavily damaged, and a van parked on the driver’s side was lightly damaged.

No injuries were reported from the fire as none of the owners were present.

At this time, the cause of the fire has not been released.

“The investigation is still underway,” Swihart said. “We know where the origin was because we had a bystander see the fire. Other than that, we are still investigating.”

This is a developing story.

The Collegian will update this story with more information as it becomes available.

CAMPUS

Value-based model combats misperceptions about veteran students

By Ravyn Cullor @RCullor99

In order to combat the perception of veterans they see on campus, Colorado State University organizations are actively working to showcase student veterans’ value in the community.

Adult Learner and Veteran Services has built a new resource model, known as the value-based model, around the strengths that student veterans bring to campus.

“A lot of campus services ... inherently are needs-driven,” ALVS Director Marc Barker said.

“That’s really important, but sometimes where we fall short when we’re in that needs driven model is getting beyond ‘what next?’”

“Nobody in Hollywood has made a movie about a student veteran that is an honor student and a 4.0 student at a university. There have been lots of movies made about the veteran that’s struggling with PTSD. It’s what sells movies. It’s the tragic story.”

MARK BARKER DIRECTOR OF ADULT LEARNER AND VETERAN SERVICES

The value-based model is a response to the Post-9/11 resource model, which focused on the challenges and cost of having student veterans on campus. The

model is centered around the strengths and skills that student veterans bring from their service in the military like leadership, discipline and time management.

Barker said the value-based model is important for student veterans because the perception of who they are and what challenges they will face on campus is misguided.

“Nobody in Hollywood has made a movie about a student veteran that is an honor student and a 4.0 student at a university,” Barker said. “There have been lots of movies made about the veteran that’s struggling with PTSD. It’s what sells movies. It’s the tragic story.”

Barker said there is a perception that student veterans are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injuries and other consequences from their military service which make it difficult for them to function on campus and for universities to serve them. The value-based model’s mission is to change that narrative.

“When people are saying, ‘How can we help you? We want to make sure you feel comfortable,’ it only advances the negative perceptions,” said Josh Johnson, an Air Force student veteran, a peer advisor at ALVS and the Student Veterans of America CSU chapter president.

Johnson said the value-based model both combats misperceptions about veterans’ academic capabilities and builds resources that communicate to student veterans that they can be successful on campus.

The SVA’s national chapter has collected data on the student veterans using the Post-9/11 GI Bill to get a secondary education since 2009. The National Vet-

The Adult Learner and Veteran Services located in the Lory Student Center helps veterans in whatever way they can and gives them valuable resources to be successful here at Colorado State University.

COLLEGIAN FILE PHOTO

eran Education Success Tracker revealed 72 percent of student veterans successfully get a post-secondary education. Their top three fields of study are business, STEM and health, and 25 percent of student veterans get a second degree or certificate.

According to the study, veterans have earned nearly a half million degrees since 2009. The study projects in ten years that number will be upwards of 1.4 million.

Johnson said student veterans face many of the same challenges as adult learners, including getting back into the swing of academics, commuting, balancing family and school, working and, most central to the ALVS, coming to a university where they don’t have an established community.

Barker said that is what their center is for, and, most of the time, there are no free seats in the center. He also said the ALVS is working to raise money to build a new center with a greater

capacity.

The center tries to foster a sense of community by creating a friendly and conversational space for the students, Barker said.

The ALVS has also developed a peer mentor program to help new student veterans navigate the campus.

“The peer mentoring program puts students in a peer advising role that have already experienced the value-based model,” said Barker. “Having those folks advise their peers and share that narrative is huge.”

Johnson said the peer mentor program reflects the sponsor structures that student veterans recognize from their military service.

“Our students are used to transferring to new bases (and having a) sponsor assigned to them so before they get there they can ask questions and have someone that shows them around,” Johnson said. “The peer advising program does the

same.”

The ALVS also connects student veterans who are struggling with challenges from their military tenure to resources available on campus, but does so on an individual basis, Barker said.

While the value-based model has created a community for student veterans and focused on changing the narrative around the value of vets on campus, Johnson said not enough people in the community know what it is.

But, Barker said the support from the University has helped the value-based model grow and touch more people.

“CSU is the number five ranked public institute by Military Times for our veterans programming,” Barker said. “On every corner of campus, there are folks willing to step up and do the work to help us create and promote our programming and support our students.”

JUUL >> from page 1 Institutes of Health.

“A good deal of the progress against smoking was made through the prohibition of lighting up in public spaces and the stigmatization that came along with smokers being sequestered to designated places,” Trumbo said.

CSU banned smoking and vaping on parts of campus including Center Avenue in January 2016. Smokers are seldom found on the plaza or underneath Clark B anymore, but the presence of e-cigarettes on campus is obvious.

Trumbo said e-cigarettes are often viewed as a positive innovation among young people. “(E-cigarettes) have been promoted as a ‘better’ and ‘newer’ way to enjoy nicotine,” Trumbo said. “Belief that e-cigs are not addictive fuels a generally more risk-accepting youth culture.”

The original vaping devices – those with refillable tanks – were introduced in the United States in 2006. The advent of podbased systems, most notably the JUUL in 2015, is what sparked the insurgency of e-cigarettes.

GALLUP POLL ON E-CIGARETTES ■ 16 percent of 18 to 29-year-olds

use cigarettes. 20 percent of the same age-group vapes.

■ 9 percent of all adult Americans over 30 say they regularly or occasionally vape.

■ One in five Americans under age 30 vape at least occasionally.

■ 22 percent of 18 to 29-year-olds think vaping is very harmful, while 83 percent said they think the same about smoking. “(Refillable e-cigarettes) are so bulky. You can see them in your pocket,” Lane said. “With JUUL, it’s discreet. I can have it in my hand, take a hit in public and not blow out any smoke.”

Other popular pod-based systems include Suorin, Mi-Pod and PHIX. These e-cigarettes take cartridges filled with salt-based nicotine as opposed to juice refills where freebase nicotine is used.

“Salt-based nicotine most closely mimics the effects of nicotine in cigarettes,” said Andrea Coryell, the assistant director of substance abuse prevention for the CSU Health Network.

Salt-based nicotine contains 59 mg of nicotine per mL of e-juice, while freebase nicotine can be anywhere between 0 and 36 mg of nicotine per mL of e-juice. Coryell said higher nicotine levels means greater potential for addiction and negative health impacts.

“Nicotine negatively affects normal brain development in teens and young adults,” Coryell said. “(Nicotine) can also damage the heart, lungs, reproductive system, contribute to insulin resistance and increase acid reflux.”

“I think it’s important for students to know that they aren’t producing e-cigarettes to help you quit – they want people to be addicted. The industry can’t survive without it. This is the newest evolution of addiction.”

ANDREA CORYELL ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION FOR THE COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK

Coryell said e-cigarettes also contain other ingredients that are potentially harmful including diacetyl, a compound found in e-liquids with sweet flavors which can cause a lung disease called “popcorn lung.”

Even still, many young people think it’s all vapor-and-mirrors.

According to that same Gallup poll on e-cigarettes, 22 percent of 18 to 29-year-olds think vaping is very harmful, while 83 percent said they think the same about smoking.

This is in part due to the vaping industry’s advertisement methods, Trumbo said. Recently, the Food and Drug Administration launched the Real Cost Campaign, aimed at “debunking myths” about e-cigarettes, according to the FDA’s website.

“I believe advertising has been seeking to target younger and younger persons by modeling vaping behavior by slightly older persons and pushing the flavorings,” Trumbo said.

Those flavorings are a major part of the appeal for Lane.

“Even though I know e-cigarettes are unhealthy from research and stuff, it just doesn’t feel as unhealthy because you’re tasting these good flavors,” Lane said.

Since JUUL’s inception, the company has marketed itself as a substitute to cigarettes. The title of JUUL’s website homepage reads, “The Smoking Alternative, unlike any E-Cigarette or Vape.”

Coryell said that this messaging is simply not true.

“I think it’s important for students to know that they aren’t producing e-cigarettes to help you quit – they want people to be addicted,” Coryell said. “The industry can’t survive without it. This is the newest evolution of addiction.”

COLLEGIAN COLUMNISTS

SERIOUSLY

Grades are a terrible measure of progress 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.

In the American school system, grades are a looming pressure every student has to deal with. Colorado State University is no exception. The prevalent prioritization of grades above all else is ingrained in our academic culture.

All too often, we simply accept this as a frustrating yet necessary approach to education. But in reality, grades are nearly useless at best and harmful at worst.

As a teaching assistant, I constantly see my students fret about their grades. Sometimes, a loss of just one point on a report becomes a matter of worry. I sincerely want my students to have a chance in lab to learn concepts hands-on, but many are too focused on only learning what will earn them a good grade. This is frustrating, but I cannot hold students responsible for this mindset.

We cannot blame students for hyper-monitoring their grades when education, as it stands, revolves almost completely around the grading system.

In high school, we’re told that our GPA and standardized test scores determine what colleges we can get in to, and it certainly doesn’t end once we get into one.

Scholarships and financial aid depend on grades. We strive for

an impressive GPA to put on our resumes. High performances are lauded and sub-par performances are chastised.

Skills and traits like critical thinking, teamwork, self-discipline, engagement and curiosity are more difficult to assess. But, they are far more important for long-term learning and success than the ability to test well. According to a 2011 study by Darling-Hammond, student learning improves when instructors account for this and make course material accessible in multiple ways.

“Grades are on the whole, far too simplistic a system to accurately report on student progress. Yet even if they are aware of this reality, students have almost no choice but to prioritize grades anyway.”

A study by Hattie in 2011 reported student improvement when different opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge were available outside of testing taking. Another 2014 study by Carol Ann Tomlinson – an associate professor with the University of Virginia – showed that by staying informed on their students’ unique strengths and needs, instructors were able to improve their students’ educational experience.

Grades do have a purpose in some regard. It would be naïve

NOPE

&

to say that good or bad grades do not reflect anything about a student. Oftentimes, good grades are indicative of a hard worker, whereas less effort tends to earn poorer grades. In theory, a high expectation for grades should help students keep their priorities straight.

But there are too many flaws in practical application. Grades are far too often based on tests and other forms of evaluation that simply cannot accurately report on a learner’s progress.

Some students – myself included – are naturally good at taking tests. It was always a breeze for me to get good grades. I made it all the way to graduate school before realizing that, in the real world, the ability to score well on a test is almost completely useless. Suddenly my lack of self-discipline, study skills and countless other practical abilities became painfully apparent.

Intelligence cannot be boiled down to a number. Grades are far too simplistic a system to accurately report on student progress. Even if they are aware of this reality, students have almost no choice but to prioritize grades anyway. The emphasis is far too strong.

Quality education requires that we shed the narrowly-focused grading system we’ve known for too long. We as students are not to blame for missing out on valuable learning in favor of high grade performances. We should know that our education is much more than a number. We must do whatever we can to help free future students from the unnecessary burden of grades.

JUUL stations to be set up around campus

By Wyatt Hansen @hansolo1610

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.

Students have become accustomed to walking around campus secretly hitting their JUULs, a popular smoking alternative that looks like you are sucking a USB. Well, leave your not-so-secret vape puffs behind, because Colorado State University’s financial department has decided to allocate money for JUUL vaping stations to be set up around campus.

CSU will now begin construction on closed rooms where JUULers can meet and rip their flash drive-looking devices.

The rooms will be fit with chargers along the wall, Rooster Magazines and other miscellaneous crap to resemble the typical college house. There will be multiple pods set up around campus along high-traffic areas.

JUULers around the campus are ecstatic about the news. JUUL sales have gone up a reported 200 percent in Fort Collins since the recent announcement by CSU. JUULing has become the latest fad among millennial looking for the quickest nicotine fix.

Students will no longer have to ghost hit their JUULs in the library anymore. They can now go to the stations which the university will call “vape pods.”

Students have to unlock the door with a JUUL to get in, so nobody will be in there feigning for your nicotine.

Sourins, another vaping alternative, are strictly prohibited since JUUL Labs made a lofty donation toward the vapor pods. Reports say that rules will be heavily enforced.

“This will really help take the stress off of always having to secretly vape in class,” said sophomore and self-proclaimed “vape god” Chad Tarkson. “I always get anxiety when the girl behind me yells at me for my vapor going in her face.

It really defeats the purpose of vaping in class.”

Teachers have raised concerns that kids will begin missing class to go “JUUL.” While this may be a viable concern to teachers, students will be asked to leave the pods after a 10-minute smoke session to ensure class attendance.

Students have expressed concern for the people judging them while they hit their JUUL on campus which is why pods are being put in around campus.

“I’m just tired of getting judgmental looks when I hit my JUUL and leave clouds trailing behind me,” Tarkson said. “College campuses are full of ‘safe’ spaces, there should be safe spaces for JUULers.”

WEEKEND TRIPS IN COLORADO TRIGG SKOE If you have a free weekend coming up, consider taking the time to explore the backyard of Colorado by getting west of the Rockies. Colorado’s hidden gems span across the state from relaxing hot springs to extreme sport destinations. Leave the Front Range and discover the little mountain towns and friendly faces hidden amongst the backdrop of mountains and adventure.

THE BLACK CANYON OF THE GUNNISON is a 685 ft deep canyon with a burly section of the Gunnison River running through the bottom. Visitors of the Black Canyon come to rock climb, kayak, fish, hike and camp. The canyon provides some of the best of these activities in the state. The multi pitch climbing is phenomenal and the view is breathtaking, literally. The raging river gives white water enthusiasts a difficult challenge from long portages in poison ivy to Class V rapids. Underneath all of this chaos is phenomenal trout fishing. The Black Canyon of the Gunnison is a great weekend get away and you’ll be left missing it when you leave.

THE ARKANSAS VALLEY located in central Colorado offers an array of activities located in and near the towns of Buena Vista and Salida. This is a great area to visit during anytime of the year with both winter and summer activities offered. Near Buena Vista, two hot spring destinations can be found at the base of 14er Mt. Princeton and the other at the base of Cottonwood Pass. The hot springs are nice to relax in after skiing at Monarch Resort only 40 minutes away or snowmobiling on Cottonwood Pass.

In the summer, this is a popular whitewater destination with festivals held filling the Arkansas River with people in addition to the fish. This area is amazing because it offers something for all levels for whitewater, climbing and mountain biking, not to mention it has 14 fourteeners in the county. Plan for this trip early to avoid traffic on I-25 and highway 285.

THE MILLION DOLLAR HIGHWAY is one of Colorado’s most known

roads. Officially highway 550, it’s named for the unmistakable views available while driving through Ridgway, Ouray, Silverton and Durango. One of the more well-known sections on this road is Red Mountain pass where drivers find themselves dangerously near a cliff edge. If you’re a nervous driver or uneasy around heights, this destination may not be for you.

But otherwise, this trip is truly a must. Ridgway is a small town that provides access to funky mountain town Telluride.

Further on highway 550, Ouray is defined as America’s Switzerland with its enclosed community in a mountainous area.

Ouray also hosts an ice climbing festival in the winter that is well worth attending. The next stop along this highway is Silverton, a tiny town that really fits the definition of a mountain town and takes some strong will to live in. If you’re a fan of snow, though it’s worth it. After leaving city life for awhile, a little piece of it can be found in Durango. With a nearby ski resort, amazing hiking and biking and great food and beer, Durango is sure to be a great way to finish the day.

A weekend at any one of these areas isn’t enough, but that’s why appreciation and respect go a long away so they can be preserved. Go and get outside, experience Colorado for what it is. Make sure to be knowledgeable of the area you are going, the gear needed, and any and all regulations. Stay safe and enjoy!

VANNING AROUND JAKE INGRAM All I ever wanted to do was spend life in the outdoors. My passion for the outdoors came from riding bikes, boards, water sports of all kinds, waterfall chasing, backpacking, and slack lining. The most love and dedication came in the form of dirt bike racing. Specifically, enduro and cross-country style racing.

Hailing from Fort Smith, Arkansas I traveled and raced all over the southern states (Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Louisiana, ect.) as well as many eastern states such as North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Throughout my racing career and traveling with my family before college, I was exposed to this sense of adventure and exploration. We developed the “weekend warrior” lifestyle, often times driving 12+ hours to a race on any given weekend. Now that I have grown my own wings and moved out west to study Natural Resources Tourism at Colorado State, I have crafted my own lifestyle of unique adventure and passion. In March of 2018, I sold my Subaru Outback and began searching the market for just the right cargo van. I had a few characteristics I was looking for in a van. They included: •High roof (6 foot or taller interior height) •Longer wheelbase (to allow for bike storage) •Models I considered: •Ford Transit •Ram Promaster •Dodge/ Mercedes Sprinter

NEXT CHAPTER: Now that I have a fully built out “Tiny Home on wheels” and preparing to graduate in December, it is time to plan the journey. For me, Van Life isn’t about ditching responsibilities and escaping to some fantasy road trip. It is about finding and fully pursuing all of my passions. Getting out of college debt free with a built out van to travel in will allow me to allocate my resources a bit differently. Instead of jumping into a career and getting trapped into paying rent for housing somewhere, I will spend my first year post college on the road. My goal is to hit all the America’s National Parks by 2020. The overview of my trip will be journeying to the west coast to race and ride bikes, visit national parks, surf, skate, and dwell in the van along the west coast. My hope is that I will continue developing professionally, network in the outdoor industry, and create epic film/ photography content while traveling all over the US. For me nature isn’t just a place to visit, it is home. I can’t wait to see where the van life journey takes me.

TRIGG SKOE Living down by the river in a van sounds pretty nice, right?

Getting to wake up to the sun shine through the shades and falling asleep to the sound of the river, it can’t be better. Over the past few years, more people are taking to the road and creating tiny homes within their vans. There are many reasons for this such as cost-effective temporary living, greater ability to travel or maybe just homelessness. Whatever the reason, it is important to build a van that suits you and your lifestyle.

Before upgrading your van, you have to choose the one that provides the proper foundation for what you want to achieve.

First, consider what drive you’d like — all wheel, rear wheel or front wheel — and the size. A common choice is the MercedesBenz Sprinter van which is all wheel drive and very spacious.

This can be a great van for living out of or turning into more of a weekend warrior (if you have a daily driver on the side). Other vans commonly converted are Astro vans, Econolines and the Toyota Sienna. These vans are a cheaper option than the Sprinter but still convert well.

When thinking of building a van out it is important to do your research and know what functionality you want your van to have whether that be a house, a weekend warrior, or a transporter for gear. Many van plans are designed for multi- purpose uses as a weekend warrior with gear storage but also readily available for camping. A common plan is a raised platform with various bed sizes and storage arrangements underneath the platform. Other plans are much more complex and can incorporate solar power, water hookups with a sink, and other amenities. Be sure to know your plan, measure twice and cut once.

Remember van life isn’t always dreamy and ideal like the “Van Life Diaries” makes it out to be. It’s not always full of excitement, singing around the campfire, dancing alongside the sandy coast, or cheerfully preparing dinner with a scenic backdrop. Everyday tasks can become much more difficult with living in a van.

Showers and flushing become emptying and filling containers, your garage becomes your house so get use to cuddling gear, and there’s the obvious household issues become mechanical ones.

Now don’t be discouraged, but know life is still life in a van.

Van life-goers are commonly found sleeping at the base of climbing walls, in the snowed in parking lot of trailhead, at the beach watching the sunrise or awaiting the rain in the woods, watching the rivers rage. The van life is one that is sought after by many, but achieved successfully by few. If you’re wanting to experience any of the lives offered on the road, do the research see if it is the best plan for you or if something else may suit you better. Drive safe and adventure far!

VOLLEYBALL

Volleyball continues winning streak over Lobos, Rebels

By Sergio Santistevan @TheRealsSergio

Winning is always good, but five-game winning streaks are even better.

The longest winning streak of the season for Colorado State volleyball comes right in the midst of a competitive Mountain West Conference season. The Rams knocked off a pair of conference foes in the University of New Mexico and University of Nevada, Las Vegas Oct. 18 and 20.

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, the Rams continued their storied-dominance over the Lobos by increasing their winning streak to 12 straight in a sweep (25-16, 25-16,25-15).

Junior defensive specialist Amanda Young made her return to the lineup for the Rams and posted a vintage performance, digging nine balls in the match.

But the story of the match was at front of the net. CSU outblocked UNM 13 to four. Coach Tom Hilbert credits the duo of junior Katie Oleksak and redshirt junior Kirstie Hillyer’s blocking throughout the game.

“We blocked the people we needed to block early and it created some hitting error situations for New Mexico,” Hilbert said.

The lack of comfort created 24 errors in the match for the hosts.

A follow up to a breakout season continued for CSU redshirt sophomore Breana Runnels in the match as she flexed her might with 18 kills on a .371 hitting percentage. The play of the former Mountain West Newcomer of the Year is something Hilbert has emphasized as a key for the team’s chances for the rest of the year.

“Breana Runnels played unbelievable tonight; if she plays like tonight, we’ll beat everyone we play.”

TOM HILBERT VOLLEYBALL COACH

In Las Vegas, Runnels continued her exceptional play, leading the Rams to a 3-1 victory over UNLV (15-25, 25-23, 25-18, 2520).

The Rams’ victory snapped a nine-match home winning streak dating back to the season opener for the hometown Rebels.

In several key losses this season, the Rams started slow in the opening set and were forced to dig out of a hole from the early going, which Hilbert attributes to a bit of a “shock” factor.

“What is happening is we play these good teams on the road and we kind of get shocked on how good they are,” Hilbert said. “It always reflects in our serve and pass game because we get uncomfortable.”

Against the Rebels, the Rams found a way to overcome their opening set woes by settling down and getting physical.

CSU capped off the next proceeding three sets after an opening frame loss with better blocking and service pressure.

The increased pressure from the Rams led to 25 errors by the Rebels, resulting in a .154 hitting percentage in the match.

The Rams totaled 12 blocks led by Hillyer and junior Paulina Hougaard-Jensen with six apiece, all while holding the hosts to five.

2017 Mountain West Player of the Year, Oleksak, recorded 41 assists, nine digs and three aces in the victory. The trio of aces served as a season-high for the third-year setter.

CSU (16-6, 8-2) moves to second place in the Mountain West standings, trailing Fresno State University by half of a game. The Rams will have three-straight home games starting Oct. 25 with one of the three matches against the conference-leading Bulldogs.

SOCCER

CSU splits home weekend on the pitch, falls out of playoff picture

By Adam Williams @AdamJ_Williams

Colorado State University took on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas at home on Friday in a late-season match that determined who would likely make the conference tournament.

The Rams were aggressive early, pushing the UNLV defense hard in the opening five minutes.

The pressure lead to a shot from senior Kaija Ornes from just outside the box that was contested

by UNLV, resulting in a penalty.

Ornes lined up for a penalty kick. The shot went into a wall of UNLV defenders, but the Rams’ offense stay consistent and continued to apply pressure.

The Rams constant pressure forced a series of three-consecutive corner kicks that reigned hollow.

“Right out of the gate I thought we were buzzing,” Coach Bill Hempen said.

“We get a really clear chance early and we miss.”

Coming out of the half, the opening five minutes showed a reversal in course as the action

was brought to the Rams’ defense.

In the 54th minute, UNLV junior Georgia Kingman broke the scoring drought.

Kingman was set up by her teammate, redshirt junior Michaela Morris, who looked poised to fire a shot. Morris passed up the opportunity, placing the onus on Kingman’s foot.

The misdirect caused redshirt junior goalkepper Hunter Peifer to lean wayward enough for Kingman to bury it in the net.

UNLV would not stop there.

Just 14 minutes later, UNLV senior Caitlyn Kreutz was able to score after teammate, junior Katie Ballou outran her defender and fell prior to getting a shot off. The ball rolled to Kreutz, who was able to catch Peifer leaning once again, opening the net once again.

Fellow UNLV junior McKenna Sullivan put the finishing touch on the offensive outburst in the 77th minute when she scored on a penalty kick that sealed the fate of the game and the season.

Hempen waived the white flag and substituted goalkeeper

Gabbi McDonald soon after, allowing the freshman to garner playing time prior to their final home match of the year.

“We had our chances it’s just a matter of finishing them,” junior Caeley Lordemann said.

The Rams’ leader saw the difficulty in the team’s comeback efforts as well.

“You give up that goal and another shortly after and now it’s an uphill battle for a team that can’t seem to get one.”

BILL HEMPEN WOMEN’S SOCCER COACH

The Rams looked to rebound on Sunday against the University of Nevada. The contest was the last home game of the season for the Rams, who despite their loss earlier in the weekend were energized for the match that also served as senior day.

Starting much the same as

their match against UNLV, the Rams took to a ball-control game plan.

For the majority of the game, the plot remained the same for the Rams as they would pressure and generate chances but could not find a goal.

Ornes attempted to break the tie but narrowly missed, her second close miss of the weekend.

Merely 11 minutes later, the outlook restructured. In the 88th minute of the game, Lordemann was able to curve her shot around the UN keeper for the game-winning goal.

Lordemann had been close all year, much the same way her teammates had been, but she found a way to lift the Rams to a victory in the waning moments.

“We’ve been in search of moments like that all year long, and (Lordemann) just buried it,” Coach Hempen said.

The game served as the final game in Fort Collins for six separate Rams’ seniors.

“Each of these ladies that are graduating now is in that group that really took a chance on us,” Coach Hempen said. “Our seniors laid a new standard for the

groups coming in after them.”

The Rams will wrap up their best season in school history against the University of Wyoming in Laramie Oct.26, with a win serving as a positive moniker going into the offseason.

FOOTBALL

Hill named starter for Friday’s Border War

By Eddie Herz @Eddie_Herz

Colorado State Coach Mike Bobo announced during his weekly press conference Monday that redshirt sophomore quarterback Collin Hill will start under center for the Rams in the Border War against the Univeristy of Wyoming Oct. 26.

“We made the decision Saturday as a staff and I told the guys yesterday that Collin Hill will start this game,” Bobo said.

The start will mark Hill’s fourth collegiate career start and first since his true freshman season in 2016.

Overall, Hill has completed 25-48 passes for 288 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in six appearances off the bench this season.

For the most part, Hill has struggled under a limited role in which he usually only plays for a few possessions.

But the quarterback’s most recent performance against Boise State University was his most efficient since going 2127 through the air for 315 yards and four touchdowns against Northern Colorado in 2016.

Hill entered the game for

graduate transfer K.J. Carta-Samuels early in the fourth quarter with CSU trailing the Broncos 49-14. The third-year signal caller immediately led the team to a quick seven points by going 7-7 through the air for 83 yards and a touchdown.

In total, Hill completed 1214 passes against Boise State while accumulating 135 passing yards and zero interceptions.

Hill’s second and final drive of the game resulted in a touchdown as well.

“Collin Hill did well in the game and it was good for him to go out and play well and get more than a series at a time,” Bobo said.

In his first start and appearance against the Cowboys, Hill set a career-high in both completions and passing yards.

CSU lost the game 31-17, but the quarterback collected 370 total passing yards off of 23 completions.

“We are 3-5 and I think we need a spark as a football team,” Bobo said. “I’ve been saying all along that he’s been practicing well and I felt like I would do something if we needed a better chance to win.”

Fort Collins Book Festival brings love for science, literature

By Ty Davis @tydavisacw

Each year the Fort Collins Book Festival brings together the literary community in celebration of the city’s unique qualities.

This past weekend, local organizations hosted the third annual Fort Collins Book Festival, “The Big Think,” a theme celebrating science and science fiction. Presented by the Poudre River Public Library District and Colorado State University Morgan Library, this year’s festival welcomed “The Martian” author Andy Weir.

The festival’s first year celebrated Fort Collins’ notable beer culture, and last year’s “Writing and Riffs” theme exalted the local music scene. Originally, it was thought this year would be themed around food, said Renee Becker, events coordinator for Old Firehouse Books and festival book sales manager. As discussions went on, the topics naturally drifted into science until it was seen by most that science and science fiction would be a more appealing choice.

The festival featured many authors and scientists to discuss various topics relating to literature, science, and science fiction such as climate change, exoplanets and even a talk by Michael Benson on his book “Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke and the Making of a Masterpiece.”

“I would love to have more time here,” Benson said. “I just flew in yesterday and I walked down College Avenue, and I was impressed by all of these really interesting cafes, boutiques and

restaurants and the public life of the town.”

“To Live on Other Planets” was the first panel of the festival to feature Weir, but also welcomed Amanda Hendrix of the Planetary Science Institute in Boulder and co-author of “Beyond Earth: Our Path to a New Home in the Planets.” After brief introductions, questions were opened to the audience which began discussions of planetary bodies suitable for

habitation, how humans would survive in other environments, how space exploration is going to advance and other related topics.

Later in the Lory Student Center Ballroom, Weir recounted to a large audience several stories from his life. He recalled his father’s science fiction collection fostering his love for the genre, and how the story of “The Martian” went from a serialized story on his personal site to a New York

Times bestseller and major film.

Questions were then opened to the audience, after which Weir signed copies of his books.

In addition to Q&A’s, there were panels, several workshops, book sales and writers reads, in which local authors showcase the writing to an audience and sign their work. Each year the book festival brings together the Fort Collins literary scene in conjunction with many local businesses

and organizations, both reaping many benefits from the event, Becker said.

“People either heard about a talk or are still very interested (in science), so they come in (to Old Firehouse Books) and they’re very engaged after hearing so many different speakers talk about so many different subjects,” Becker said.

Músico estudiante medita sobre su crecimiento artístic

A través de su interés musical, Hadley ha podido hacer conexiones en el mundo de la música, ya sea pasando tiempo en la comunidad artística de Denver o haciendo conexiones con otros artistas en SoundCloud. Incluso retomó el contacto con su hermanastro mayor, que se hace llamar “Dream-like” en SoundCloud, y ha desarrollado una relación artística con él en la que constantemente comparten su música e intercambian comentarios.

Hadley tiene muchos planes para su futuro musical. El proceso de un artista trae nuevas ideas y experiencias, pero a medida que madura Hadley también siente interés por expresar sus orígenes.

Hadley tiene otro miniálbum titulado “With Love (Con amor),” que en principio saldrá en torno a enero de 2019.

“En el futuro quisiera explorar temas sobre mi relación con la gente que me rodea, la Tierra, la masculinidad, la raza, cómo me sentía al crecer en lugares predominantemente blancos, la sexualidad…,” comentó Hadley. “Supongo que me gustaría hablar sobre mi historia y lo que he vivido como persona. La música ha hecho que esté más cómodo con quien soy.”

Editor’s Note: The Collegian is starting a section in Spanish for our Spanish-speaking readers. Spanish articles will be available online and in print. Traducido por Cinthia Avitia.

Xavier Hadley tiene 22 años, es oriundo de Colorado y estudiante de último año en el departamento de Inglés de la Universidad del Estado de Colorado. Es conocido bajo el nombre de “Xavley” y está causando muy buena impresión con su música por todo Colorado. En los últimos dos años Hadley ha creado y publicado música y a través de la música ha encontrado su propia identidad creativa.

Bajo su nombre artístico, Hadley ha producido un sorprendente catálogo musical. El artista tiene aún mucho más que ofrecer, y eso que ya ha publicado dos álbumes y varios miniálbumes en Spotify, Apple Music y SoundCloud. En su música, Hadley destaca sus habilidades de producción y de voz con melodías hipnóticas sobre ritmos de producción propia en los que utiliza fascinantes notas de guitarra. Con su música, se lanza a la búsqueda de su autoexpresión en una de sus formas más puras.

“Siento un impulso natural de crear cosas y me gusta verme a través de diferentes medios,” dijo Hadley. Al mirar de cerca la música de Hadley, la naturaleza orgánica de su proceso creativo se hace clara.

Si bien no le faltan fuentes de inspiración externas, identifica al cantautor Steve Lacy como el hombre que le llevó a iniciarse en la música. Hadley puede crear un mundo propio en el que ha permitido a los oyentes entrar sin que se note.

“Por mucho tiempo he tenido miedo de decir lo que quiero decir y de ser yo mismo,” comentó Hadley.

“Y ahora pienso que puedo usar la música para decir verdaderamente lo que quiero decir y hablar sobre las cosas de las que quiero hablar.”

Cuando le preguntaron qué usaba para grabar su música Hadley señaló al par de auriculares SkullCandy sobre la mesa y dijo “uso esos auriculares.” Hadley usa su guitarra Fender, su amplificador y su computadora en el proceso de creación de sus conceptos musicales. Es un sistema humilde, pero hace más que solo arreglárselas y logra producir música de una calidad que sobrepasa las expectativas para los recursos que utiliza.

Canciones como “Prsnlspce” y “Somethin” son ejemplos de las diferentes relaciones que experimenta con la gente. Con el tiempo, estas experiencias, relaciones y estados emocionales cambian y Hadley tiene aún muchas oportunidades de mejorar como persona y como artista.

“Supongo que muchas de mis canciones anteriores expresaban cierta ansiedad y de vez en cuando

eran cinematográficas… Reflejan un yo más joven y no necesariamente lo que pienso ahora, pero definitivamente mi música está madurando”, comentó Hadley.

“Supongo que siento que mi música tiene que ponerse al día”.

Hadley produjo su primer álbum con el nombre artístico de Xavley, titulado “Ghost on the Run” (El fantasma fugitivo), en diciembre del 2017. Inmediatamente después se puso a trabajar en su segunda producción, titulada “Oof”, que se publicó en julio de este año.

“Sufro de TDAH y a veces pongo muchísima atención en lo que hago”, dijo Hadley. “De vez en cuando, durante los fines de semana trabajo en canciones desde que me levanto hasta que me voy a la cama. Debo usar esta habilidad que he adquirido durante tanto tiempo como me sea posible”.
