Paranormal claims investigator disproves bumps in the night By Claire Oliver @claireity21

The question as to whether or not the paranormal exists is something that has been debated for centuries. Do ghosts really walk among the living? Have

aliens visited Earth? Are those creaks and footsteps the work of inhuman beings? For paranormal claims investigator Bryan Bonner the answer is ‘maybe.’ Bonner is the lead investigator for the Rocky Mountain Paranormal Research Society and his in-

vestigation approach comes from scientific method. Bonner has worked with National Geographic, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Denver medical examiners and the United States Department of Agriculture in order to disprove claims of ghost activity. He has also worked with the

show Ghost Hunters to showcase the inaccuracies during the shows ‘investigations.’ Bonner was interested in the paranormal from a young age when he would watch horror movies with his mom. “You don’t just sit down with a five-year-old and watch

‘The Exorcist’ and expect good results,” Bonner said. “So she decided she was going to do this and tell me how they made the movies and how the special effects were done. The older I got

On-campus vigil remembers Pittsburgh shooting victims By Emma Iannacone @EmmaIannacone

Light has led Jewish tradition for thousands of years, and on Oct. 30 it led a Colorado State University vigil in honor of the 11 people killed in Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue. “We stand together tonight at this vigil, in a way that darkness cannot overcome,” said President Tony Frank. The campus vigil was hosted by Chabad Jewish Student Organization, Hillel at CSU, Alpha Epsilon Pi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi in the Lory Student Center Ballroom A. “The goal is to bring light, comfort and peace, given the recent instances of violence fueled by hate,” wrote Mary Ontiveros, vice president for diversity, and Blanche Hughes, vice president for student affairs, in a campus-wide email. More than 200 people attended the event to remember and grieve for the people killed on Saturday during Sabbath worship. “It’s that sense of community—that unity—that gives you strength to move ahead in a

very difficult time,” said Rabbi and CSU professor Yerachmeil Gorelick. Prayers, poems and psalms were read as 11 candles flickered next to the podium. CSU officials and several student leaders spoke, including Kenny Shuster, a Hillel at CSU board member. “Let’s practice what we preach; love your neighbor as you love yourself,” Shuster said. Sarah Convissar, a senior early childhood education major, felt comforted by the opportunity to honor the victims of the shooting. “Obviously it’s not the circumstance we want everyone to come together in, but to see that everyone is here and opening their arms is great,” Convissar said. Gorelick said the past few years—both nationally and locally—have been difficult for the Jewish community because of an increase of anti-semitic acts. Joel Somerville, a first year engineering major, helped attendees light candles at the entrance and handed out yarmulkes. He wasn’t surprised by the violence in Pittsburgh. “I had recently had hate-

ful comments thrown my way by my peers,” Somerville said. “Only a few days later this was in the news, and it just felt all too real.” Gorelick encouraged people

to provide support to one another and focus on making life better for others. “I’m hoping that we can continue to grow and we can become stronger and prouder,”

Gorelick said. “And that in itself will bring that comfort and light to this shattered world that we see right now.” Emma Iannacone can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Kepler space telescope is headed for retirement By Deborah Netburn & Karen Kaplan Los Angeles Times

NASA’s revolutionary planet-hunting Kepler space telescope has run out of fuel and will be retired, the space agency announced Tuesday. During its nine-year mission, Kepler found more than 2,600 planets orbiting stars outside the solar system—including many with the potential for harboring life. Thanks to the spacecraft, scientists have learned that the Milky Way galaxy has more planets than stars. “Before we launched Kepler, we didn’t know if planets were common or rare,” said Paul Hertz, director of the National Aeroonautics and Space Administration’s astrophysics division in Washington, D.C. Scientists have poured over Kepler’s data and concluded that between 20 percent and 50 percent of the stars we can see are accompanied by planets that have much in common with Earth. These planets are about the same size as ours and orbit at a distance where any water that might be on the surface would be stable in liquid form. Even more common is a type of planet that is missing

from our own solar system— so-called super-Earths that are larger than our planet but smaller than Neptune. Kepler has also revealed that many solar systems are far more crowded than our own. One of its most tantalizing discoveries was the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system, home to seven rocky Earth-sized worlds a mere 39 light-years away. All seven of these planets are closer to their star than Mercury is to the sun. Kepler has overcome mechanical difficulties in the past. But without the fuel needed to conduct further science operations, NASA opted to end the mission. “I thought of it as the little spacecraft that could,” said Jessie Dotson, a Kepler project scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif. “It always did everything we asked for, and sometimes more.” The space telescope will remain in its current orbit, which is a safe distance from Earth, officials said. Though Kepler is retiring, NASA will continue its search for planets outside the solar system. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Florida approves $10 million in taxes for Pulse memorial By Stephen Hudak Orlando Sentinel

Orange County commissioners gave final approval Tuesday to a request for $10 million in hotel taxes to build a permanent Pulse memorial and museum at the site of the gay nightclub where 49 people were massacred. The support helps ensure “Pulse will never be erased,” nightclub owner Barbara Poma said. The money, which would be paid over three years, will help the nonprofit onePULSE Foundation buy land around the nightclub, south of Orlando Health System’s downtown campus, and pay design, engineering and architectural costs. Land must be acquired because the club property, about a third of an acre, is not large enough for a museum, which is an important part of the onePULSE plan. “A memorial is to mourn, a museum is to learn,” Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs said outside the commission

chambers, where she was flanked by Poma. “This will be a sacred space that will tell the story of Pulse and our 49 angels, while ensuring future generations learn from the detrimental impact of hate, bigotry, discrimination and intolerance,” Jacobs said. “This museum sends a clear message that hate will not win and love will always prevail.” According to the foundation’s proposal, the memorial and museum will be a place to grieve, reflect and learn about the attack on June 12, 2016, that was briefly the worst mass shooting in American history. The foundation’s funding request was one of two approved by commissioners Tuesday. The board also voted to give $4 million to help the Orlando Ballet build an auditorium. Both projects sought a small share of money raised by the county’s tourist development tax, a 6-percent levy added to the cost of short-term lodging at a hotel, resort or room-sharing rentals such as Airbnb and VRBO. Through August 2018, the

tax has brought in about $257 million, $22 million ahead of last year’s pace. Hotel-tax revenues have been used to finance the Orange County Convention Center, defray the cost of the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, upgrade Camping World Stadium and fund Visit Orlando, the region’s marketing arm. The death toll at Pulse was exceeded Oct. 1, 2017, when a gunman on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas rained more than 1,100 rounds onto a crowd of concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest music festival, killing 58 people. Last month, onePULSE’s funding request was endorsed by the Tourist Development Tax Application Review Committee, which considered the proposal’s likely return on investment, its organizational plan and ability to draw tourists. The onePULSE Foundation will receive $4 million this year, $3 million in 2018-19 and $3 million in 2019-20. According to details spelled

out in county documents, the properties onePULSE proposes to buy with the tourist dollars must be within a half mile of Pulse and at least an acre in size.

The property sales price cannot be more than 10 percent higher than a county-approved appraisal. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Vasby Anderson also pointed towards Elizabeth Dole, wife of famous conservative Bob Dole, and her bid to become the Republican presidential nominee in 1999. She said despite the fact Elizabeth Dole was heavily involved in conservative politics and was encouraged by her party to take a run at the presidency, she had a hard time raising money. “That’s because even people who liked her in her party didn’t view her as a credible candidate,” Vasby Anderson said. “In her case, it wasn’t a misogynistic dislike of her. It was people who generally liked her,...but when she actually (ran) they didn’t see her as a potential contender.” In order for individuals to combat the double bind, they have to access whether they dislike a woman as a candidate or based on sexist societal norms, Vasby Anderson said. She pointed towards a strategy used during Clinton’s try for the Democratic nomination in 2008. Citizens United Not Timid, an organization set up by Republican strategists, printed shirts with the acronym for their group above the phrase “showing the American public what Hillary Clinton really is.” “If that’s how we are attacking women as leaders, that’s a clear expression of misogyny,” Vasby Anderson said. “When we respond to somebody in politics, (we should) ask ourselves ‘am I responding negatively to a policy disagreement or am I falling prey to stereotypical depictions?’” Ravyn Cullor can be reached at news@collegian.com.

A Colorado State University professor of communication studies has been studying why a woman has never been elected president. In fact, she wrote the book on it. Karrin Vasby Anderson has published two books and a number of articles exploring the divide between female politicians and the oval office. Her most recent book, “Woman President; Confronting Postfeminist Political Culture,” which she co-authored with Kristina Horn Sheeler, responded to a notion that the United States is waiting for the right woman to run. “We did a review of the literature and found that there were a lot of books out there saying that women candidates needed to behave themselves differently,” Vasby Anderson said. “The problem is that we have a culture which is inhospitable to women candidates. That the culture is what needs to change, not the candidates.” Vasby Anderson said the problem female candidates face is called the double bind. In other words, if a woman appears to be a credible political leader, they are viewed as unappealing and masculine. If a woman presents herself in a more traditionally feminine way she is dismissed as not credible or capable of the presidency. Vasby Anderson started studying women in political communication while earning her master’s degree at CSU. She said a class in rhetorical criticism got her to analyze a speech on health care by then-FirstLady Hillary Clinton. She went on to write her master’s thesis on Clinton’s health care reform rhetoric and wrote her doctoral dissertation on Clinton’s public identity and media framing at Indiana University. After graduating with her Ph.D., Vasby Anderson returned to CSU as a facility member and expanded her area of research to “the notion of gender and the US Presidency.” She is currently studying the interaction of politics and popular culture and has published a volume with a handful of colleagues on the topic called “Women, Feminism, and Pop Politics: From ‘Bitch’ to ‘Badass’ and Beyond.” Clinton’s loss in 2016 reaffirmed Vasby Anderson’s research, despite the fact that, at the time, she thought the US was about to have its first female president. “What happened in 2016 was...a really forceful backlash against Hillary Clinton’s candi-

dacy,” Vasby Anderson said. “It’s no surprise that the rejection of Hillary Clinton as a candidate also ushered in the Trump presidency; somebody who was more explicit about having very sexist, misogynistic attitudes towards women, particularly women who disagreed with him.”

Halloween is more than just dressing up

Students are unaware of what they’re voting for

Lauren Wilson

@WilsonLauren

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. Halloween is typically thought of as a day for kids: a jovial festival of trick-or-treating and begging for cavity-inducing sweets. But college students benefit from this holiday just as much, if not more, than their younger counterparts. While collegiate culture may give the impression that Halloween is about binge drinking and skimpy costumes, the rituals we have developed around this time of year actually reflect the holiday’s most fundamental purposes. What’s more, the way in which our demographic celebrates the holiday pays homage to the spooky celebration’s traditional origins in more ways than one might realize. Halloween traces its roots to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. The annual fall gathering was based on the belief that the night brought deceased souls from the afterlife into the world of the living, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica. On this night, Celts would dress up as ghouls, goblins and other creatures to ward off the evils of the underworld. The ancient festival also marked the eve of the Celtic New Year (All Hallow’s Eve), a day representing the transition between seasons of fruitfulness, harvest and natural decay and loss. Just as the Celts celebrated Samhain to commemorate the transition into a new season, college students also partake in Halloween to celebrate the completion of midterms and the beginning of a new academic period. We dress up in spooky costumes to ward off the evils of professors’ grading pens and the potentially terrifying results of Scantrons. In the same vein of controlling future events, Halloween rituals like apple bobbing were used as means of fortune telling in colonial America, states LiveScience. It was believed that the first person to successfully bob for an apple would be the first to marry. This and other marriage-based Halloween rituals are recounted in “Halloween and Commemorations of the

Dead” by Roseanne Montillo. The romantic rites observed during Halloween on college campuses show strong parallels. Women and men alike may wear risqué costumes in a peacock-esque manner of attracting a partner, whether for short- or longterm engagement. Additionally, social drinking may be seen as a celebratory custom that lessen inhibitions around this stressful, often lonely time. With “cuffing season” in full swing, it’s no wonder students are drawn to police (wo) man costumes. Halloween is a holiday characterized by superstition and magical ideals. Black cats, jacko-lanterns, and ghosts were each originally linked with certain connotations: avoiding bad luck, guiding spirits of loved ones, and scaring off demons, respectively. Decades and even centuries later, it can be easy to forget where Halloween began. Today, college parties might seem benign and totally uninfluenced by spiritual, romantic, or superstitious rites and rituals. But at their core, these gatherings of costume-clad undergrads all share a similar purpose: to help us forget our fears of the past, present and future, if only for a night. Lauren Wilson can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

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 2018 midterm elections are coming up. Citizens will be voting on candidates as well as important propositions. Organizations like New Era Colorado encourage students on campus to register and vote. A problem is that the majority of the student body has no real idea what they would be voting on. A good voter is an educated voter. Organizations should spend more time educating students on what’s at stake with this election and getting them personally invested with the propositions. There’s a big hole in students’ understanding of what’s on the ballot. In a small sample size of people, nine out of 10 students approached in the Colorado State University courtyard had no idea what is on the ballot when asked. According to the Colorado Secretary of State website, Larimer County has 100,440 total active registered voters and 22,923 inactive registered voters. While these demographics may show an overwhelming amount of voters, it does not show how many of those voters have information on what they’re voting on. Of the 100,440 registered voters, 36,221 are ages 18-25 which indicates many could be students. Unfortunately, a registered voter does not guarantee a vote.

College-aged students are historically not active voters, as a study conducted by The United States Election Project analyzes the outcome of the last midterm elections to state only a staggering 16 percent of people aged 18-29 voted. Andrew Ogrysko, a junior botany major, expresses his feelings about the voting process in general. “I don’t think I’ll ever vote. I really have no say,” Ogrysko said. Ogrysko is one of many students who believe the people are too small to make radical change through voting. “No one is going to fix anything,” Ogrysko said. “And, if you think that, you’re crazy. No matter who you put in power, everyone is crooked.” There is a lot more hype than previous years about registering to vote and participating in these elections. Studies recently conducted by the Public Religion Institute and The Atlantic found that only 35-percent of Americans aged 18-29 are certain they will vote on these midterm elections. In large, CSU students make up a very small fraction of that statistic. In efforts to increase good voting habits, campus should offer information onsite to educate students. Kaili Schroeder, a sophomore in the human dimensions and natural resources department, is planning on voting this year. “So far I know very little to none,” Schroeder said. New Era’s approach to getting the student body to register may not be as effective as they may believe. Charley Olena, the advocacy director of New Era, unfortunately became too busy at headquarters to give a statement regarding CSU

&

student registration numbers for this year. “More accessible information would be more beneficial because as somebody who feels really strongly about environmental issues and social issues change has to happen,” Schroeder said. “But there’s just so many people like me who don’t even know where to start with getting information.” While New Era is a great campaign to get students involved in the idea of voting, they are missing a crucial point. On their website, New Era does have information available explaining the propositions on the ballot. This did not carry over to their booths in-person though. New Era and others on campus should try more actively to have information readily available about the election. They should encourage students to be more inclined to vote rather than simply getting students registered. A similar case study for Boulder shows the positive impacts of New Era’s work on successfully getting young people to register to vote. Now it’s time to turn the attention to educating as well. A new approach to educating could include more social media activity outlining major points on the ballot, a more friendly booth with informational posters and pamphlets or even some good old fashioned Stump shouting. Educating the students on the ballot may encourage voting numbers. There needs to be a greater opportunity for students to have an open dialogue on what they could be voting on,­­­­­­ rather than ushering students to simply go vote.

What better way to learn the ropes of scoring an internship in the fashion industry than from past interns themselves. Here’s some advice we’ve gathered from interns who have worked at some of the biggest brands in the fashion game.

“Don’t just limit yourself to roles that are being advertised online. Make a list of companies in your area that you would love to work for and send them a speculative application. Worst case scenario is you don’t hear back (their loss right?), and best case is they happen to have a vacancy they haven’t advertised yet and you get an interview. Even if that doesn’t happen, they will probably keep your application on file for any future internship positions.” -Suzie, a past Garment Tech Intern at Missguided

SPORTS FOR DUMMIES

ATHLETICS

Sports superstitions are no elaborate trick

5 athletes sure to terrify the opposition

Happy Halloween, sports dummies. You might be wondering: What do sports and Halloween have to do with each other? Well, athletes and sports fans might be some of the most superstitious people on the planet. No, they are not worried about black cats and broken mirrors but about luck and winning. People would do almost anything to avoid jinxing their team. They range from personal quirks to full-on sports world weirdness. Some simple ones include things like soccer players stepping onto the pitch right foot first, never saying that someone is having a perfect game and wearing the same shirt or shorts or socks while on a hot streak. Stepping right foot first, while it in no way actually helps performance, is innocent enough. Not saying that you or a teammate is having a perfect game makes a little sense. Of course, as soon as it gets pointed out, it would end. Wearing the same clothes over and over until the “luck wears off” makes a little bit of sense, but gets gross pretty fast. Re-wearing clothes seems to be the most popular superstition, so much so that it is kind of cliche. But it is very real.

Professional athletes like Sidney Crosby and Serena Williams do this regularly. Crosby will wear the same hat pre- and post-game all season until it is nasty, sweaty and falling apart, but he is not the only one. Williams wears the same socks during the extent of tournaments, luckily not extending this stench for nine months like Crosby. Some superstitions get weird though and generally don’t make much sense. The most popular ones include the “Madden Curse,” in which football players on the cover of the yearly iteration of the popular video game suddenly get a stroke of bad luck. This has included players performing poorly or getting injured after being featured. This “curse” is definitely iffy but nonetheless popular enough that Electronic Arts, the company behind the “Madden” series, has denied its existence. A similar superstition exists around being featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, though the Chicago Cubs broke a

very, very long “curse” after being featured on the cover of SI, dismantling that theory. Another incredibly weird and very popular one is the playoff beard. This is the notion that once your team has made the playoffs, facial hair becomes very important. It now holds some luck that it did not for the whole season leading up to playoffs, and you can’t shave it until your team is eliminated. This leads to some very hairy champions lifting trophies at the end of a season. In all honesty, a lot of this seems more like “boy’s club” things than actual witchcraft or jinxes. Women’s sports do not seem to have as deep of superstitions like a Madden Curse or playoff beards. I am sure they have superstitions or things they do for good luck before games. Maybe we just are not as aware of them because women’s sports aren’t as talked about. That is a spooky thought in itself. Ashley Potts can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Athletes come in different shapes and sizes. Some also demonstrate durability, leadership and toughness. But there is one quality that makes an athlete stand out from the rest: intimidation. Intimidation is the ability to frighten and put fear into the opponent before the game ever takes place. It makes coaches lose sleep from game planning all week. Several players at Colorado State have the ability to instill fear into their opponents. Some players use their size and aggression, others use their physique, while a few use their athleticism and pure skill to scare their opponents. To celebrate Halloween, here’s a list of the scariest athletes that don the green and gold: Josh Watson - Football The 6-foot-2-inch senior middle linebacker is the leader of the Colorado State defense and a team captain. The backer has played in every game since his redshirt freshmen season and is a force in the middle, recording a team-high 109 tackles last season. Using his size and aggression, Josh Watson is the definition of “scary” as the heavy-hitter is on track to become one of the Rams’ alltime-great linebackers. Look for Watson to follow the path of Rams alumni Shaquil Barrett and Cory James as the next Ram linebacker to hear their name called in the NFL Draft. Kirstie Hillyer - Volleyball Sometimes a player’s size alone can intimidate an opposing team, and that’s what the Rams’ redshirt junior middle blocker, Kirstie Hillyer does. Measuring in at 6’6”, Hillyer has the size to scare anybody on the court and change an entire team’s mindset at the net. As one of the Mountain West Conference’s best players, Hillyer ranked 17th in the nation last season in blocks. In back-to-back weeks, the Mountain West recognized Hillyer as defensive and offensive player of the week, respectively. Using her size to her advantage, she recorded 20 kills and 7 blocks in total last week. Nico Carvacho - Basketball

Much like Hillyer, Nico Carvacho uses his near 7-foot frame to lock down defenders. His physique helps the Rams’ basketball team match up with any opponent in the paint. Besides his physical stature, Carvacho is a matchup nightmare. The redshirt freshman has the ability to force defenders out onto the wing and space the floor. Carvacho averaged a double-double in Mountain West Conference play last season. The modern-day big man also earned Honorable Mention All-Mountain West last season, but with two seasons remaining on his eligibility, look for the left-hander to make waves in the upcoming season. Preston Williams - Football A perfect combination of size, physique and athleticism, Preston Williams is an offensive force. Williams is more a “freak” than anything with a 6-foot-4inch, 210-pound stature. The Rams’ wide receiver has the ability to jump up and grab any ball in his vicinity. At already 951 yards receiving with three games remaining, Williams is making a case to not only be one of the Mountain West’s best but the nation’s best. As an all-Mountain West player in track and field in the indoor triple jump, Williams is a nightmare matchup for most cornerbacks. Williams is one of scariest athletes at CSU for a variety of reasons, which is why he will likely see time on Sundays. Breana Runnels – Volleyball All the athletes listed above stand out from a normal crowd, but redshirt sophomore Breana Runnels is different. Runnels is not going to intimidate opponents with her overtly aggressive play, physical presence or size. Instead, the outside hitter is a force to be reckoned with when she goes up in the air. Second in the Mountain West in both kills and points, Runnels intimidates opponents with solely her athleticism. Her kills, often times unhittable, make a whole team focus on limiting her attack. One of the most explosive players in the Mountain West is making an early run for Player of the Year, just a year after taking home MW Newcomer of the Year.

HALLOWEEN

‘Trail of Terror’ ghost tour mixes history, horror Ice Cream, where Riding did work to figure out the identity of their ghost, and Beau Jo’s Pizza. Walrus Ice Cream even promotes their ghost story with a plaque on the wall and an image of their ghost on the door leading to the basement.

By Graham Shapley @shapleygraham

Halloween may strike some as a good time to go out looking for spirits, but for the uninitiated, a ghost-hunt may be intimidating. What sorts of equipment do you take? Where do you even go to find ghosts? What’s the history behind these ghosts, and why are they here? Luckily for the brave few who want to track down centers of supernatural phenomena but don’t want to go it alone, Fort Collins is home to an assortment of tours that share both history and horror. Dressed in a Victorian-style black dress and matching hat, local writer, tour guide, and historian Suzy Riding leads the Trail of Terror Fort Collins Ghost Tour, a walking tour through some of the haunted hotspots of Old Town. “The best way to teach history is through ghost stories,” Riding said. Riding has spent an estimated 10,000 hours of research on her tour, trying to pick out the horrific bits of Fort Collins’ history and present them to her tour-goers. The tour visits four haunted basements around Old Town, including Walrus

MORE INFORMATION ■ The Trail of Terror tour is Friday

and saturday evenings in Old Town starting at Happy Lucky’s Tea House. $15 Tickets available at www.themagicbustours.com.

From the basement of the Happy Lucky’s Teahouse, formerly the municipal jail, to the spooky connection between Fort Collins and Disneyland, it feels as if Riding has a ghost story about every building in town. This is fitting, as she believes that nearly every building in town is haunted by one ghost or another. “I’ve shown business owners pictures of people who used to live or work there,” Riding said. “They’ve often said something like ‘I’ve seen that guy, that’s my ghost!’” The tour also incorporates the tools of ghost-hunting:

electromagnetic field detectors, which will blink rapidly when held up to either copper and other metals or in the presence of ghosts, and a ghost-radar app which gives spirits a way to communicate by providing a list of words to be read out. Unfortunately, the tour can’t guarantee a spectral encounter. Riding suggests that only about one ghostly experience happens per week of tours, and there is no way to predict it. These moments of otherworldly occurrences range from the feeling of a hand on one’s back to having your leg grabbed by something outside of perception. Should you go on the tour? Yes, if you’re interested in the history of Fort Collins. I didn’t experience anything personally, but Riding is a good enough storyteller that you want to believe even without proof. At the very least you’ll come out of the tour with some new bits of history and information to share with friends on your visits to Old Town. For those who are looking to meet a ghost, it’s possible, but don’t get your hopes up. Graham Shapley can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

Add chemistry to Halloween with 3 at-home experiments By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

Editors note: Julia Trowbridge is the Public Relations coordinator for Colorado State University’s Chemistry Club. It’s time to get spooky with science. Colorado State University’s Chemistry Club hosted their annual “Halloween Spooktacular Show” with over 40 volunteers and around 1,100 guests this past weekend. The show contained a multitude of interactive experiments that everyone could try. Bugs and reptiles from CSU’s Entomology Club and the Zoological Discovery Center made an appearance and shows with more flashy demonstrations people shouldn’t try at home. From the “Halloween Spooktacular Show,” here are three hands-on Halloween themed experiments you can do at home. Melting Witch What you need: styrofoam, acetone and a beaker. Try a styrofoam ball and cone to create a cute little witch head. What to do: Take the styrofoam, place it on a stick for safety, and dunk the styrofoam into the acetone. After a little while, the styrofoam will start to “melt,” and eventually disappear completely. Why this works: Acetone is actually a really good solvent for styrofoam, so what you’re observing is the styrofoam dissolving into the acetone. This trick can help you recreate your own ‘Wizard of Oz’-style witch melting.

Sharpie tie-dye What you need: different colored sharpies, cloth quilting squares, ethanol (rubbing alcohol) and a pipette. What to do: First, draw a spooky on the cloth quilting square with various colored sharpies. After you’ve finished drawing your design, use the pipette to slowly drop the ethanol on the cloth. The ethanol will cause the colors from the sharpie to spread out in what looks like tie-dye. Why it works: The dyes in the sharpie are polar, which means there are more electrons in one part of the molecule compared to another, based on the structure and the elements in the molecule. Ethanol is also polar, so when the dye in the sharpie and the ethanol interact, the dye will move with the ethanol as the drop spreads outwards, creating the tie-dye design. Slime What you need: borax (powdered laundry detergent), water and clear craft glue. What to do: Create a borax solution by mixing one cup of water to one-half teaspoon of borax. Slowly add this solution to your desired dollop size of clear craft glue until you get your desired slime consistency. Why it works: The clear craft glue contains polymer chains, which are long chains of carbon-carbon bonds. The borax reacts with these polymer chains to further connect these chains, giving it more of solid-like properties. Julia Trowbridge can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

6 cheesy Netflix movies for a Halloween night in By Jalen Winfrey @jalen_winfrey

There are a few things synonymous with the Halloween season: costumes, candy and cheesy-as-hell horror movies. Not much is better than settling down and getting a kick out of low-budget special effects and poor acting in an attempt to scare. Here are six Netflix movies that exemplify the term “corny” to get into the Halloween spirit. 1. Stephen King’s “Children Of the Corn” (1984) This thriller based off a Stephen King novel is heralded as a cult classic and can make you question the innocence of children. This horror story concerns a town populated by murderous children, with spooky supernatural occurrences and a twisting plot. A stereotypical ‘80s horror movie starring mostly children, you can expect a lot of corny acting and cheesy special effects. 2. “Scooby-Doo” (2002) The live-action “Scooby-Doo” is a surprisingly well-done homage to the horror movies of the ‘80s. While not a horror movie, it emulates old monster movies and replicates the corny acting and special effects, including a CGI rendition of Scooby-Doo. While family friendly, the 2002 “Scooby-Doo” movie definitely

deserves a watch if you’re in a light Halloween mood. 3. “Hellraiser” (1987) “Hellraiser” is a horror movie about a sadomasochist named Frank who opens a portal to hell in his home. He is killed and the unlucky couple who moves in must deal with what ensues after accidentally bringing what’s left of Frank back to life. If that’s not already a cheesy setup, “Hellraiser” is full of ridiculous special effects, acting and costuming, but was so popular it spawned nine sequels.

CHEESY CLASSICS FOR FURTHER WATCHING: ■ “Friday the 13th” ■ “Night of the Living Dead” ■ “Killer Klowns from Outer

Space” ■ “Troll 2” ■ “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” ■ “Leprechaun 1-4” ■ “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” 4. “Scream 4” (2011) The “Scream” franchise was conceived as a lampoon of slasher movies, and as such, some built-in cheese is expected. However, “Scream 4” ends up being a wonderful watch

with a combination of comedy and horror. To clarify, all the “Scream” movies are great, but “Scream 4” is the only one left on Netflix. 5. “Most Likely to Die” (2015) While not an exceptional movie, “Most Likely to Die” is a wacky modern take on the slasher horror genre. A high school reunion party ends up terrorized by a murderer in a graduation gown and razor-sharp cap he uses to kill. The delight in this movie comes from the half-hearted performances and the downright silly design of the murderer. If you’re looking for a laughable slasher, look no further than “Most Likely To Die.” 6. “Mad Ron’s Prevues From Hell” (1987) This one is different because it’s not exactly a movie, but rather a compilation of old horror previews from the ‘60s and ‘70s. These previews drive the cheese factor to the max with now-outdated gore and other special effects front and center, showing the horror elements people want without extensive plot. These previews are old horror in its purest form and the voiceovers so frequent throughout are simply amazing. If you watch at least one of the movies on this list, let it be this one.
