Minority students describe biased culture in College of Business By Jorge Espinoza & Matthew Bailey @CSUCollegian
Despite efforts by the College of Business to promote an inclusive culture, some students at Colorado State University continue to see systemic issues within the institution. “The College of Business undergraduate program has approximately 2,500 students of which 39 percent are female and 29 percent are minorities,” wrote Zeel Patel,
COB director of marketing and communications, in an email to The Collegian. “The College of Business also has 31 percent female and 9 percent minority faculty.” According to the fall 2018 COB Census, White-identifying students make up 73.5 percent of all students in the undergraduate program. Male-identifying students make up 61.2 percent of that total. “We continue to assess where we are and where we still need to improve, but our efforts are intentional and driven by a genuine desire to create a culture where every-
one feels welcomed and affirmed, and can flourish,” Dean Beth Walker said. For business students Brayan Montes-Terrazas, Alan Casavantes and Yailynn Almanza, the lack of representation of women and people of color within the college creates a difficult environment that is continuously fueled by people who openly express biases and microaggressions. Several students anonymously shared one instance with The Collegian where a professor in the COB presented an iClicker question
written in Chinese to which the answer was “dog,” which students perceived to be a derogatory insinuation of Chinese food stereotypes. “The College of Business takes all allegations of racism, sexual harassment, gender-based discrimination and other forms of misconduct seriously,” said Chelsey Lane, the human resource operations manager of the college. “If students, faculty or staff have concerns, we encourage them to make a report so that those concerns can be investigated.” Latinx students represent 10.4
percent of the total students enrolled in the COB according to the fall 2018 COB Census. For students like Montes-Terrazas, a senior studying marketing, being in the COB means he’s used to standing out amongst his peers. “When I was a freshman, as soon as I walked into my first class, not only was I the only person of color, I was also the only person with semi-dark hair. Everyone around me was blonde,” Montes-Terrazas said. “That was really see Business on page 4 >>

Heritage Garden celebrates Colorado’s horticultural legacy By Charlotte Lang @chartrickwrites
There can be more meaning in a University garden than just the flowers and trees. Colorado State University wrapped up its Heritage Garden project this fall. The garden is meant to celebrate and educate about Colorado’s legacy in agriculture,saidFredHaberecht,University planner and assistant director for facilities management. Located on the southeast corner of Canvas Stadium and planted next to an arboretum, the Heritage Garden occupies the space previously home to the Plant and Environmental Research Center. Though the campus community is not widely aware of the garden’s presence, Haberecht said that he hopes this will change as more students discover the area. Haberecht also said that the garden’s positioning next to the stadium is meant to expose visitorstotheUniversity’sagricultural impact. “It brings public prominence to the role of agriculture in the state and in the University,” Haberecht said. “This is much
of our roots as a university and also a continuing contributor to society, so it’s important to educate and celebrate that agricultural heritage.”
“The Heritage Garden, Arboretum, Annual Trials and Perennial Garden and the commitment to a designed, landscaped campus create a beautiful and memorable place to work and learn .” JOE MCGRANE ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HORTICULTURE AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Joe McGrane, associate professor for the department of horticulture and landscape architecture, designed the garden. McGrane said the design represents the five Agricultural Experiment Stations located throughout the state. The Garden contains plants that repre-
research focus. “Its purpose is to articulate and commemorate the agricultural focus of CSU’s Land Grant heritage,” McGrane said. McGrane said the garden is one of many horticultural resources on campus, as well as a major attraction for visitors to Fort Collins and the region. “The Heritage Garden, Arboretum, Annual Flower Trial Garden and Perennial Garden and the commitment to a designed, landscaped campus create a beautiful and memorable place to work and learn,” McGrane said. The Heritage Garden has taken approximately two years to complete. MarkUchanski,associateprofessor of horticulture and extension specialty crops specialist, said plans for the garden began in fall 2016 when CSU’s President’s Office put together a planning committee for the project. “We were charged with developing several recommendations for the design of the Garden,” Uchanski said. “After the design was selected and built out, we gathered information about common crops grown in each of the geographic regions of Colorado centered on the

Based on that information, we grew or secured transplants of each of the representative crops and planted them out in each of the raised garden beds.” According to Haberecht, the final places were put in this fall for the football season. “The final pieces were the remaining interpretive signage pieces that went in and some fencing,” Haberecht said. “But for the most part, this is the first full growing season of the garden.” Haberecht likened the gar-
hopes that students and visitors will seek out further information and research after seeing it. “We hope that they want to learn more,” Haberecht said. “Just like going to a national park or a historic site, you’re probably not going to learn all that you would ever want to know about a particular subject, but you would hope it would pique your curiosity and you would want to delve in more.” Charlotte Lang can be reached at news@collegian.com.

CSU programs work to offer resources for suicide prevention By Audrey Weiss @Audkward
According to a study taken by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide is now the 10th leading cause of death. Colorado State University is working to tackle this issue by setting up a variety of services for any community member seeking help. University police and housing staff are trained to provide help based on what a situation may require, wrote Dell Rae Ciaravola, public safety and risk communications manager and CSU Police Department public information officer, in an email to The Collegian. “The University has the Tell Someone program that we hope people use, and people do use every week,” Ciaravola wrote. Dwight Burke, director of support and safety assessment and Title IX coordinator, said that the Tell Someone program was established to engage the community in keeping an eye out for one another. Depending on the case, when someone is recommended or recommends themselves, Burke’s department determines the correct procedures in which to provide help and services to an individual.
Business >> from page 1 hard because I came from an environment where everyone was Latinx or some type of color. That was the first time I had actually been the minority.” Montes-Terrazas said not feeling included within the COB has made it harder for him to integrate into the college. Casavantes, a junior business major, said working in groups has given space for microaggressions to show through in the classroom setting from peers. “There are a lot of group projects in the COB, and (in) most of those groups, I’m the only LatinX-identified male,” Casavantes said. “So sometimes, I do feel like my word is less than my peers because they may feel that I’m less educated than them or that I don’t have the same resources or opportunities that they do, so they shut me down sometimes.” Both said one way the COB could create more diverse spaces within the college is by hiring more professors of color. “I’ve only ever had White professors, I’ve never had any professor that I feel like I can relate to or connect to, and sometimes I can be more hesitant to ask questions because they may come across as stupid,’” Casavantes said. “Sometimes I do feel like I’m in a position
“We consider suicide prevention as part of the broader public health, (in order to) get in front of it as much as we can,” Burke said. “The more resources you put in early interventions, the more you’re going to prevent later down the road.”
RESOURCE INFORMATION If you or someone you know is struggling, there are a number of services that may help, including the Tell Someone program and CSU Health Network Counseling Services. The office provides anything from early intervention and prevention work, to crisis and imminent intervention work. The Tell Someone program is one of many ways they acquire information. In addition, they receive information from other offices working as a network to help those struggling with mental health. Manager of Mental Health Initiatives Janelle Patrias suggested students also look into Active Minds, a student organization working towards destigmatizing mental health. where I silence myself because I feel like I’m going to be looked at differently.” Almanza, a sophomore supply chain management student, said she has personally been the victim of racist and sexist remarks made by fellow COB students. “The College of Business is a little bit different than other colleges on campus where you definitely feel that tension between different races,” Almanza said. “I’m always mixed up with different people. Even with professors, there’s stories of them always saying subliminally racist things.” Almanza said if it wasn’t for the Business Diversity Leadership Alliance, a program in the COB that represents students of color, she probably wouldn’t still be in the COB. “I had someone say, ‘We have the Business Diversity Leadership Alliance and we have Women in Finance. Why don’t we have ‘Men in Finance?’” Almanza said. Almanza said she has witnessed sexist remarks in her classes through the COB. “I feel like in classes, you’re paired with a group, and guys always talk over you, or they won’t let you speak. They interrupt you,” Almanza said. “They feel very entitled sometimes.” Almanza said COB students will often obtain internships through marketing and connections between sororities and fraternities when they know their friends wanted those same internships.
“Our mission is to raise awareness among our peers about suicide and mental health, as well as promote help-seeking behavior,” according to the organization’s mission statement. “We want to create a community that is not only supportive but conscious of depressive, self-destructive or suicidal behavior.” Patrias wrote in a statement to The Collegian that she focuses on suicide prevention, promoting mental health outreach, coping and skill building, and access to quality treatment, among other things. “There are many layers to strong suicide prevention to promote early identification, support and treatment for individuals experiencing mental health distress,” Patrias said. One of the ways in which the University promotes those layers is by training students, staff and faculty to identify and refer these individuals. Notice and Respond is one of the training modules available for University employees. Patrias said that over 6,700 students, staff and faculty have participated in this program in the past five years. CSU also works to support the community through suicide postvention, which is how a community She said this creates a disadvantage for many first generation and international students who may not know many people in sororities and fraternities in order to earn those internships.
“Visibility matters. If people don’t see themselves represented, they don’t know that they can achieve. If you don’t see yourself represented, you need to be there. And that may mean you being the first to be there, and that can be very scary. However, it needs to happen.” PATRICE PALME UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC ADVISOR, BUSINESS DIVERSITY LEADERSHIP ALLIANCE COORDINATOR AND ADJUNCT INSTRUCTOR FOR THE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS.
Almanza said this competitive environment is promoted by professors. “My professor was doing something for us, and he said, ‘Don’t do it this way. Some kid a couple of years ago did it this way and is probably now working for a nonprofit somewhere.’ And everyone laughed,” Almanza said. “Even

grieves and processes after a suicide loss. “Postvention efforts are thoughtfully planned and delivered by a large group of key campus stakeholders to ensure that survivors of suicide loss are supported,” Patrias said. The University has been adding services and divvying up the budget to include and support these services since their establishment. Burke said he felt pride in the University administration’s ability
to recognize the need for these services. “It’s a tough subject to talk about, (but) we’re in a good position to talk about it because of the work that has been done,” Burke said. If you or someone you know is struggling, there are a number of services that may help, including the Tell Someone program and CSU Health Network Counseling Services.

I laughed, and then I realized that I’m kind of ingrained in that culture.” Patel wrote that in a survey of undergraduate students during spring 2018, 83 percent of students responded with a score of seven out of 10 or higher in terms of the college preparing them to be culturally competent with respect to living and working in a diverse society. But Almanza said COB students don’t have intercultural communication skills. “They always say the wrong things,” Almanza said. “And part of business is global communication. These people hold none of it. Every time someone says something, it’s a microaggression, or it’s biased.” Almanza said one of the people who helps her understand what it means to be a person of color in the COB is her professor Patrice Palmer. “Visibility matters,” said Palmer, an academic advisor, coordinator for the BDLA and instructor within the COB. “If people don’t see themselves represented, they don’t know that they can achieve. If you don’t see yourself represented, you need to be there. And that may mean you being the first to be there, and that can be very scary. However, it needs to happen.” Palmer said she believes the COB has recently taken greater steps towards closing the gaps between male and female representation as well as the representation of people of color. “The College of Business can
better support marginalized students by making sure that there are resources available that are tangible,” Palmer said. “I think that’s happening now.” Montes-Terrazas said even though there have been difficulties being in the COB, it’s important for marginalized populations to be a part of the college because it allows marginalized populations the ability to accumulate wealth since they have been historically excluded from the economic system. “I’m a big proponent for more people of color in business because historically we haven’t been able to have wealth,” Montes-Terrazas said. “My biggest motivation to get through it was the fact that there are so little people of color actually in business. I didn’t want to let them win because I wanted to open the door for more people like me to come into that space.” Casavantes said the COB should focus on capitalizing on diversity in order to have better business practices. “Diversity is important for the College of Business because it brings in insight,” Casavantes said. “Having one mindset, like being White-male driven can change the perspective of certain things and if you have a team full of diversity, we’ll be able to kick a** because there are so many ideas and perspectives since we are so different.” Jorge Espinoza and Matthew Bailey can be reached at news@ collegian.com.

ASCSU approves resolution encouraging free printing By Stuart Smith @stuartsmithnews
There is a possibility that every Colorado State University student may be able to print for free within the coming years. The Senate of the Associated Students of CSU passed a resolution (23-15-8) supporting the use of a company called Freenters that would provide free printing to all students at CSU. Freenters makes printing more affordable for college students and higher education institutions through advertisements, according to its website.
“If this is implemented across campus, it has the potential to completely eliminate a student fee. That saves massive amounts of money from all of our students.” ETHAN BURSHEK SENATOR OF THE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS
With the resolution having passed, it will be sent to the University administration as a recommendation from ASCSU. If implemented, the company would not charge students or CSU for any part of its product and would instead make money from printing advertisements for local businesses along with what students print. “This program is no cost to us because they’re making the money off of advertising,” said resolution author Sen. Josh Lindell when he introduced the idea two weeks ago. The advertisements would take up the first and last pages of any print job, along with every four pages when students print more than seven pages. The advertisements would be on their own pages and would not take up space of the student’s work. To counteract the increased amount of paper used by printing ads, Freenters works with a company called PrintRelief to plant a tree for every 8,300 pages printed. Before the vote, some members of ASCSU expressed their discomfort with the use of Freenters to provide printing for students, while other senators said there was no need for them since some colleges and student organizations provide free printing for students. “I have serious reservations about this resolution and the idea that we invite this corporation to come in and profit off of our students,” graduate gchool
Sen. Rob Haggar said. “This company is not doing this out the of the goodness of their heart, they wish to further (profit) off something as benign as printing.” Sen. Ethan Burshek of the College of Liberal Arts said he disagreed. “Just because they’re doing it out of their own self-interest does not mean it won’t be of great benefit to us,” Burshek said. Liberal Arts Sen. Claire Smith agreed with Burshek, saying that, at the end of the day, Freenters is making money off ads, not students. Engineering Council Sen. Chris Mann expressed his opposition of the resolution for a different reason. “Engineering, we already pay… to get printing money,” Mann said. “The free printing doesn’t really affect our people because we already get an exorbitant amount of money to spend on printing… The hassle to deal with the ads and pulling out the papers is just too much.” Speaker Pro Tempore Melissa Quesada agreed with Mann based on her experience in the College of Business.
“Engineering, we already pay… to get printing money. The free printing doesn’t really affect our people because we already get an exorbitant amount of money to spend on printing… The hassle to deal with the ads and pulling out the papers is just too much,”

“My constituents don’t really find this beneficial for them just because certain majors do pay extra for printing, and getting it offered for free to other students that don’t have to pay that fee seems a bit unfair to them,” she said. In response to this argument, Burshek countered that using Freenters would be beneficial for all students, not just ones who don’t already pay for printing through their majors. “If this is implemented across campus, it has the potential to completely eliminate a student fee,” Burshek said. “That saves massive amounts of money from all of our students.” Stuart Smith can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Community discusses the future of transportation By Jorge Espinoza @jorgeespinoza14
With the possibility of private and public transportation coming together, last night’s panel discussion held by the City of Fort Collins revealed the future of transportation is around the corner. The panel discussed better ways to accommodate the growing population, current transportation trends, high-frequency transportation and new technologies that could potentially assist transportation in the future. Timothy Wilder, transit planning manager for Fort Collins, said the panel discussion was helpful in distinguishing what the community hopes to see in the future of City transportation. “There have been a lot of questions about where we are going with the City for transit services ,and so there has been a lot of conversation about ‘do we expand our transit services, where is it appropriate, can we have other services in our portfolio of services?’’’ Wider said. “This was helpful for us to understand what those possibilities are, how we can change and adapt, and hear from the community (how they) felt about our transit system and other kinds of mobility options
for the community.” A big topic of the night was the integration of public transportation, and private transportation such as ridesharing services like Lyft and Uber. Brittany Cameron, operations manager for Lyft, said that multimodal transportation, or using multiple modes of transportation to get to one place, can increase ridership in public transit. “We really need to help people figure out multimodal transportation, so by introducing and exposing everyone to the different options, that’s really how you increase ridership in public transit,” Cameron said. When it comes to traffic, Cameron said single-occupancy vehicles — personal vehicles — create more congestion, so integrating ridesharing into public transit can help ease said congestion. “It’s about changing behavior. When you take a bunch of single occupancy vehicles into a downtown area you have a lot of cars, but if you’re bringing in Lyft vehicles into downtown areas, then those drivers are doing multiple rides that are not bringing in new cars, it’s bringing in new people, keeping cars the same in the downtown area,” Cameron said. Cameron also said that by working with public transporta-

tion agencies, private and public transportation services can help solve challenges in public transportation. “It’s really important for private companies like Lyft to collaborate with transit agencies and cities to really work toward a wholistic approach to transporta-
tion,” Cameron said. “That’s how we’ll really fix a lot of the challenges that we see.” Wilder said working with private transit industries can help cut costs while effectively transporting people to where they need to go. “We can’t do that as a public
transportation agency, our role is to carry as many people as we can in the most cost-effective way, so we realize we’re going to have to work with Uber, Lyft and micro transit to fulfill gaps in our system.” Jorge Espinoza can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Charges filed against ex-TCU student who allegedly hazed pledges By Domingo Ramirez Jr. Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Two hazing charges have been filed against a former Texas Christian University student who is accused of forcing pledges to take 15 drinks of vodka and eat expired guacamole, according to Tarrant County court records. Christopher Thorne Barksdale of Memphis, Tenn., and an ex-member of Kappa Sigma was charged last month with hazing and hazing causing serious bodily injury. He was arrested in September after paramedics and TCU police were alerted that a freshman student had blacked out after drinking alcohol, according to an arrest warrant. In the same case, fellow TCU classmate Andrew Peter Walker, a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon also was arrested in September and faced similar hazing charges but he committed suicide Oct. 25 when he jumped from the fourth floor of a parking garage on the university campus, police said. Barksdale was free Wednesday on $2,000 bail. Barksdale or his attorney Regan Wynn of Fort Worth could not be reached Wednesday for
comment. If convicted, Barksdale, 19, faces a maximum of a year in jail on the Class A misdemeanor charge of hazing causing serious bodily injury. The hazing charge is a Class B misdemeanor and the maximum with conviction is 180 days in jail. In September, Barksdale lived at the TCU Kappa Sigma chapter house, according to an arrest warrant. He is no longer a student, according to TCU officials. Initially, Kappa Sigma was suspended on campus, TCU officials said. “The fraternity has been returned to limited operations while they complete an educational development plan,” said Holly Ellman, a spokeswoman for TCU in an email. Barksdale is accused of forcing pledges to take 10 to 15 drinks of vodka and eat expired guacamole during a hazing incident at TCU, according to the arrest warrant. One pledge ultimately blacked out, while the second was left intoxicated in his dorm room, according to the warrant. The pledges were ordered to the Kappa Sigma fraternity house on Sept. 3 and told to bring a “handle” of Tito’s vodka. A “handle” re-
fers to a 1.75 liter bottle of vodka. The order was sent by a text message from a cell phone owned by Barksdale. The pledges arrived shortly after 4 p.m. on Sept. 3 with a bottle of vodka. The freshmen were introduced to Walker and a sorority member, and directed to Barksdale’s room on the second floor Barksdale called one pledge into a bathroom, handed him a beer and told him to drink the beer as fast as possible. After that, Barksdale emptied a bottle of decorative sprinkles, and the pledges were ordered to sort them. If they failed to complete the task in a timely manner, they were forced to drink vodka. Barksdale and Walker yelled at the pledges as they tried to sort the sprinkles and ordered them to drink vodka. The pledges were ordered to drink from the bottle of vodka between 10 to 15 times. Walker and Barksdale made them drink as long as they were counting, according to the warrant. Both pledges were forced to eat expired guacamole. One pledge was later found unconscious in Barksdale’s room and another Kappa Sigma mem-

ber believed that pledge had died. Members called an ambulance and the pledge was taken to a hospital. The second pledge was walked to his room and left intoxicated. The September incident was at least the third reported hazing incident at the university since 2016. In December 2017, the Del-
ta Tau Delta fraternity chapter at TCU was suspended for hazing, according to the fraternity’s national office. In 2016, the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity at TCU was shut down after reports of drug dealing and possession of guns surfaced. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Fewer sign up for Affordable Care Act as Trump pushes other options By John Tozzi Bloomberg News
The market for “Obamacare” plans is shrinking but not collapsing, two years after President Donald Trump said not repealing the program would “destroy American health care forever.” More than halfway through the 45-day enrollment period, fewer people have selected plans for 2019 on healthcare.gov than in the same period a year ago, new government data show. The website handles enrollment in Affordable Care Act plans for 39 states. The decline in signups follows an effort by the Trump administration to promote cheaper coverage with fewer consumer protections, which critics called an attempt to undermine Obamacare. Congress also lifted the individual mandate penalty for going without health insurance — a fee of 2.5 percent of income that was intended to discourage healthy people from waiting until they got sick to purchase coverage. That change takes effect in 2019. The number of people signing up for ACA plans is “surprisingly robust, given all the headwinds,”
said Larry Levitt, senior vice president for health reform at the Kaiser Family Foundation, a research group. Signups between Nov. 1 and Nov. 24 totaled 2.4 million, about 13 percent less than during a similar period last year, according to data released Wednesday by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Healthcare.gov enrollment closes Dec. 15. At that point, participants who didn’t actively shop for new coverage will be automatically re-enrolled. It’s hard to gauge how much the market may be changing until those final numbers are released. Premiums, after jumping for several years, are on average stable for next year. And while some states scrambled to find insurers in rural areas where no companies wanted to sell coverage last year, every spot on the map had at least one option for 2019. About 80 percent of those buying coverage on healthcare.gov and state marketplaces are eligible for subsidies because they make less than $48,000 a year for an individual, or $100,000 for a family of four. That insulates them from price in-
creases. The remaining 20 percent on the exchanges, as well as millions who shop for similar plans outside of those official market websites, pay the full premium. Those prices strain many household budgets, causing some people to seek cheaper alternatives or drop coverage entirely. The data released Wednesday count only purchases on healthcare.gov, not people who bought coverage off the exchanges. That market could be changing more dramatically, because buyers pay the full price. Insurance companies expected some people to leave the market in 2019, and set premiums accordingly. “Insurers are making a lot of money this year in this market,” Levitt said. A year ago, with some insurers exiting the ACA markets, many people were forced to log on to choose new plans because their old plans were no longer offered. That circumstance has all but vanished this year, according to eHealth Inc., an online insurance broker. “Carriers are starting to get more comfortable with this mar-
ketplace,” said Paul Rooney, vice president of carrier relations at eHealth. The preliminary drop in enrollment is not as dire as some predicted, given the Trump administration’s opposition to the ACA. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office last year projected that repealing the individual mandate would increase the number of people without health insurance by 4 million in 2019, a projection that rises to 13 million by 2027.
“Carriers are starting to get more comfortable with this marketplace.” PAUL ROONEY PRESIDENT OF CARRIER RELATIONS AT EHEALTH
The administration has promoted cheaper forms of insurance that don’t have to meet the same requirements as the ACA, including coverage of pre-existing conditions. Those include short-term health plans and association health plans. Short-term plans that can limit
benefits and charge higher prices to sick people have been projected to attract 1.4 million people in 2019, according to CMS actuaries, shrinking the ACA markets as healthy people seek less expensive policies. Fewer than one-third of respondents knew that the individual mandate penalty was gone, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll. Only one quarter of adults who were uninsured or purchased individual market coverage knew the enrollment deadline. About 1 in 5 said they would buy a short-term health plan if they had the chance. A number of other factors may be influencing the ACA marketplace this year. Most Americans under age 65 get coverage from an employer, and the labor market continues to improve, adding 2.5 million jobs in the past year. While the federal open enrollment period ends Dec. 15, some states that run their own marketplaces allow people to sign up later on. Californians have through Jan. 15 to sign up, while in New York state the enrollment period lasts through Jan. 31. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

University of Maryland freshman dies from adenovirus By Sarah Meehan The Baltimore Sun
A freshman at the University of Maryland, College Park, died Sunday of complications from adenovirus, and her family is questioning whether the university — which has seen several cases of the illness — could have done more to prevent her death and whether it was related to a mold outbreak in some dorms. Olivia Paregol, an 18-yearold from Glenwood in Howard County, had been sick since early in the semester, when she first developed a cough. Her condition worsened and she contracted pneumonia. After leaving school, she was taken to the emergency room multiple times before she died at Johns Hopkins Hospital, said her father, Ian Paregol. In a letter to the campus community acknowledging the death of a student, the university said that six cases of “adenovirus-associated illness” have been confirmed on the College Park campus. “We offer our condolences during this difficult time,” the university’s health director, Dr. David McBride, wrote. “While we are normally prohibited from sharing medical information publicly, we have been authorized by a family member to share this news and urge others to take seriously this strain of a common virus.” The virus, which has more than 50 strains, can cause illnesses ranging from common colds to pneumonia. Fever, diarrhea, intestinal infections and neurological diseases are also possible, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Serious conditions stemming from adenovirus are rare, but they are more common in people with compromised immune systems, according to the CDC. Olivia Paregol was at risk because medication she was taking to combat Crohn’s disease weakened her immune system, her father said. The CDC, the Maryland Department of Health and the Prince George’s County Health Department are investigating the outbreak on campus. Brian Bachus, chief of the state health department’s division of outbreak investigations, said the state health department first became aware of the campus outbreak Nov. 12, after the Prince George’s County Health Department reported it to his team. It’s not unusual for a university to experience an adenovirus outbreak around this time of year, he said.
“It’s not always known when there’s an outbreak on campus because people are going to different physicians,” Bachus said. “It probably happens more frequently than we’re aware.” The CDC and Prince George’s County Health Department did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday. To stem the spread of adenovirus, the university health center, residential buildings, transportation services, recreation centers and student union are increasing cleaning of “hightouch surfaces” and restrooms, according to the health center. And the school’s dining services are changing self-service utensils every 15 minutes.
“If they would have known a week earlier, I think there would have been a different result. This should never have happened.” IAN PAREGOL FATHER OF DECEASED STUDENT
Ian Paregol said his daughter came down with a cough several weeks into the semester, her first at the College Park campus, where she was studying criminology. She visited the University Health Center several times as her condition worsened, he said. Ian Paregol said he’s trying to understand whether her condition was exacerbated by a mold outbreak on the campus this fall. Olivia lived in Elkton Hall, one of the dorms that students were evacuated from so crews could treat the buildings for mold. “Every kid in that dorm is sick,” Ian Paregol said. McBride’s letter says the university learned of the first adenovirus case Nov. 1, and since then five additional cases have been reported. On Monday, the university learned the CDC identified one case as adenovirus 7, a strain that can cause more severe illness, the letter says. “Vigilance is extremely important for those with chronic medical problems like asthma, diabetes or illnesses that lower your immune system or if you take medicine that lowers your immune system,” McBride wrote in the letter. “It is vitally important not to ignore these symptoms and visit a physician within 48 hours of developing symptoms.” He was not available for further comment. In an FAQ about adenovirus

on the University Health Center’s website, the center said there was not a clear link between mold found in dorms and adenovirus. “While it is true that mold can cause irritation of the respiratory tract and make individuals more susceptible to viral infections in general, the cases of adenovirus-associated illness on campus have been seen both in students living on and off campus and among students in residence halls affected by mold and not,” the FAQ says. “As such, it appears that there is no consistent connection between mold exposure and the incidents of adenovirus infection affecting UMD students.” Besides the mold, Paregol said he’s more concerned about whether the university knew there were students on campus with adenovirus before his daughter contracted the virus, particularly because she visited the health center frequently, and the medication she took for Crohn’s suppressed her immune system. Paregol said the health center should have known Olivia was at risk because the center received and dispensed her medication. When Olivia came down with a fever, Paregol became more concerned. She left school
to rest for a day at home Oct. 31 and later saw her home physician Nov. 5. She was diagnosed with pneumonia during a Nov. 6 emergency room visit, and returned to the emergency room Nov. 9, Paregol said. “Her left lung was completely whited out with pneumonia,” Paregol said. “From there if just got worse.” On Nov. 12, she was admitted to the intensive care unit at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Paregol said. Paregol said he called the university seeking information about the mold on campus to find out whether that might affect Olivia’s condition. Eventually, he said, he spoke with McBride, and the university ultimately relayed information about adenovirus cases on campus to Hopkins doctors. She then tested positive for adenovirus. “If they would have known a week earlier, I think there would have been a different result,” Paregol said. “This should never have happened.” Paregol said his daughter was “just the sweetest kid” — the type who, from elementary school through college, took newcomers and outsiders under her wing. “She made friends with ev-
eryone,” Paregol said. “If there were any new kids, she would sort of bring that kid into the fold and make it so that kid didn’t have a lonely experience.” The youngest of three siblings, Olivia was a free spirit with a penchant for prompting laughter, Paregol said. “She was a typical freshman girl, enjoying the freedom that college presented while maintaining her grades,” he said. Paregol said his family is going to try to get through the next few weeks before having deeper conversations with the university. But he said he’s already encouraged the school’s health center to urge students to get examined by their home physicians during their Thanksgiving break. He hopes it will prevent other families from going through the same pain, he said. Paregol said he’s been going through photos of Olivia as the family has been preparing for her services. “It’s just killing me,” he said. “But in every picture she’s just looking up to her brother and sister. She’s just goofy, alive and fun-loving.” Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

CSU might not be promoting healthy sleeping patterns Katrina Liebee @KatrinaLeibee
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. As everyone on campus begins to prepare for finals week, it is easy to stay up late studying, working and procrastinating without thinking about the ramifications of not getting enough sleep. Colorado State University may not be helping students fight this unhealthy habit of staying up extremely late studying. Places such as the Morgan Library and Morgan’s Grind are open late during finals, and the Lory Student Center even offers extended hours for students pulling a late-night study session. As busy students, everyone is guilty of staying up late studying, ignoring the fact that not sleeping enough will actually affect our memory and comprehension of the information. The most important stage for memory in our 90-minute sleep cycle is rapid eye movement, when we process and store the day’s events. “If you’re not sleeping long enough or well enough during the night, you might not be in the REM stage long enough for a lot of those memories to con-
solidate over,” CSU psychology teaching fellow Julie Prosser said. “A lot of those memories may be lost or become fuzzy.” Although it may seem necessary to stay up late cramming for a final, it is actually more beneficial to sleep and allow your brain to process and consolidate the information that you were able to study.
“If you’re staying up to study, and you’re staying up until two or three o’clock in the morning, that study time is wasted because you’re not going to consolidate that memory.” JULIE PROSSER CSU PSYCHOLOGY TEACHING
“If you’re staying up to study, and you’re staying up until two or three o’clock in the morning, that study time is wasted because you’re not going to consolidate that memory,” Prosser said. While it is not the job of the school to put a bed time on students, the school does not necessarily promote a healthy culture of sleep and study patterns that are beneficial to students’ memory and learning. The library is open generally until two in the morning, and many days during finals week, Morgan’s Grind is open until midnight. If students know they have
access to coffee and a study space so late at night, there is not much of an urge for student’s to get their studying done earlier in the day to allow themselves time to sleep. First-year students about to enter their first college finals week may be thinking that studying late at night is the norm in college, especially because the library and Morgan’s Grind are open so late. However, not sleeping enough is likely to negatively impact academic performance. “I think it’s nice that it’s available to them, because some students really do need that space,” Prosser said. “I don’t think that it’s the healthiest option because I do think it promotes an atmosphere of it being okay to study ‘til two in the morning.” Some students do legitimately need the space to study late at night because they have busy schedules during the day, or their dorm room may not be an effective study space. It is considerate of the library to stay open for these students, but keeping Morgan’s Grind open until midnight during finals week is unnecessary and promotes unhealthy sleeping and studying patterns. While professors, teachers and adults telling us to leave the library and get some sleep during finals week may just sound like nagging, scientifically, they have a point.

CSU does not force inclusive language; we embrace it 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. On Nov. 4, The Collegian published the column “CSU has Gone too Far with Inclusive Language” written by my colleague Katrina Leibee. Many disagreed with what was said about inclusive language going too far at Colorado State University, and I would like to provide insight on what inclusive language is and why it is important. Inclusive language is non-discriminatory language used to avoid false assumptions about a person or group of people. Inclusive language is being heard from both professional and student staff at CSU to make a more inclusive community. Inclusive language includes but is not limited to: ability and disability, age, gender and sexuality, nationality, race, ethnicity and religion. CSU is not forcing or punishing their students for not using inclusive language. All CSU asks is for students to be aware that certain terms can offend and generalize certain communities.
It’s about respect. As a third-year student, I was unaware of the importance of inclusive language until my second year. Through experience, classes and personal interactions I learned about my privileged and marginalized identities. This has led me to support inclusivity while Leibee’s identities, including being a first-year in her first semester, may contribute to her stance.
“Just because we leave college doesn’t mean that suddenly inclusive language disappears. As we leave college, we have the opportunity to create learning experiences in our future endeavors. It is our job as students to be the change we want to see in the world,” DANIELL PLOMONDON THIRD-YEAR NEUROSCIENCE STUDENT
An important example of inclusive language is gender pronouns. Gender inclusive pronouns do not associate a gender with the individual who is being discussed because there are individuals who do not identify
with binary male and female pronouns. This can be because the individual does not want to be identified with the stereotypes of what it means to fit the male and female pronouns. When talking to a group of people, the popular term “you guys” is beginning to be replaced with “you all” in order to respect and include individuals who do not identify as male. While some individuals do not mind being referred to as “you guys,” there are others who do, and that should be respected. CSU is not asking for students to rid the term “you guys” out of their vocabulary. CSU is simply helping raise their students’ and staffs’ awareness of others’ identities and how popular terms can be non-inclusive. Using non-inclusive terms can also reinforce stereotypes and continue the cycle of oppression. Pragya Agarwal, who is a creative strategist, social entrepreneur and mental health campaigner said, “There has always been a male bias in how offices are designed, how they look and how they feel.” This is a major issue in the workplace. When CEOs, architects or engineers are referred to and the term “he” or “him” is used, it dismisses women and invalidates the hard work women put in to get those positions because they are categorized as masculine. “The word ‘b*tch’ is
used when referring to a female-identifying individual who is taking charge,” said Clay Westbrook, a fourth-year business and natural resources student. “If it is a male-identifying individual, the act of taking charge is respected and expected, however, when it is a female identifying individual, there is a negative response.” According to TEXAS CASA, bringing unconscious assumptions into conversations when not using inclusive language with children can be harmful and alienating, and discourage them from fully opening up — especially for children of color, LGBTQ and those who identify with other minority groups. If you are pulled aside or told that a saying or term you said was offensive, it is important to not react in anger. It is important to step back, listen to the person, let them know you did not mean to be offensive and apologize. Just because you do not find a problem with something that was said, it could be a problem to someone else. The world outside of CSU is not as up to date with inclusive language and that is for us to change. When CSU students and staff go out into the world, they decide whether or not they want to incorporate inclusive language in their life. They are never forced. “Just because we leave college doesn’t mean that suddenly inclusive language
disappears,” said Daniell Plomondon, a third-year neuroscience student. “As we leave college, we have the opportunity to create learning experiences in our future endeavors. It is our job as students to be the change we want to see in the world.” CSU does not monitor and expect students to change their way of speaking, but does ask them to be mindful of how their words can affect others and educate themselves on different identities. There are multiple truths at CSU in an estimated community of over 30,000 people so generalizing and assuming that everyone has the same background, story and preferences is unacceptable. Inclusive language is not about political correctness. It is about being mindful when it comes to communicating with others and doing it with empathy. “People are scared of change and inclusive language is a big change to how we talk to one another and unlearn terms that are deep-rooted in our society,” said Yoshika Okada, a second-year business student. Inclusive language is a work in progress and is slowly being introduced to CSU and I am excited to see it grow and educate the community and future Rams to come.

MEN’S BASKETBALL
Rams travel to Boulder seeking third-straight win over the Buffs By Eddie Herz @Eddie_Herz
The Colorado State Rams will look to maintain their winning record Saturday afternoon when they travel to Boulder for an annual rivalry matchup with the Colorado Buffaloes. The Rams have been victorious in the previous two Rocky Mountain Showdowns on the hardwood. Last season, CSU defeated CU at Moby Arena 72-63. A year prior, the Rams went into Boulder and knocked off the Buffaloes 72-58 as significant underdogs prior to the contest. Overall, the rivalry has been extremely competitive over the last decade at the interstate rivals have split the last 10 meetings, dating back to the 2008-09 season. Following a hot start to Niko Medved’s first season as head coach in Fort Collins, the Rams have struggled. CSU began the season by winning its first three games. Since then, the Rams have dropped three of their last four games. Most recently, CSU was defeated by Southern Illinois 82-67 at Moby Arena Tuesday night.
CSU VS CU IN 2017 ■ Score:
72-63
■ CSU shooting percentage:
40.7% ■ CU shooting percentage: 39.3% ■ Rebounding advantage: 46-32 CSU ■ CSU leading scorer: J.D. Paige - 16 points
Early on, Medved’s guardheavy roster developed a tendency of settling for outside shots. CSU is shooting 36.4 percent from the three-point range on an average of 26 attempts per game, eight more than their matchup against the Buffs last year. CSU averages 80 points per game with six players averaging double-digit scoring totals. Defensively, the Rams have struggled due to an inability to limit opposing teams in the paint. CSU was out-scored 4420 in the paint Tuesday against SIU, largely the difference in the game. “We go down to Boulder on Saturday,” Medved said. “We better embrace it and figure out how we are going to grow and get better.” Regardless of the recent

struggles, history has indicated that records and previous games don’t mean much in the Rocky Mountain Showdown. “If we are not pumped up and enthusiastic for that game, then we have a big problem,” redshirt junior Anthony Masinton-Bonner said. “But I know these guys top to bottom. I know we’ll be ready for that game, ready to bounce back. It’s always a fun game to be in. It’s just on us to come out firing.” Besides Masinton-Bonner, other key players have learned what it takes to succeed in a highly anticipated rivalry. Redshirt junior forward Nico Carvacho and redshirt senior guard J.D. Paige also contributed to the back-to-back victories over CU. But there are plenty of new faces on CSU’s roster who haven’t played in an environment quite like the one they will on Saturday. “I remember the older guys telling me when you get out there play your game,” Bonner said. “It’s nothing new. Just another game. Large venue, a lot of fans. But, those are the moments you play the game for, big moments like that.” The Buffaloes feature a similar roster to last season’s team, which finished 17-15 overall and missed the NCAA Tournament for the second-consecutive season. Although many key players returned to Boulder, CU lost

a significant amount of production from forward George King’s departure. King led the Buffaloes with 7.8 rebounds per game last season and also finished second on the team in scoring. Freshman forward and former four-star recruit Evan Battey has been in charge of compensating for the loss of King.
Battey is averaging 8.8 points per game in his first collegiate season, second on CU. The trio of senior guard Namon Wright, junior forward Lucas Siewert and sophomore guard McKinley Wright IV have embraced larger roles as the teams’ most consistent players to date. The three have accounted for nearly half of the
Buffs’ scoring combined. The Rams and Buffaloes will tip off at just after 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the CU Event Center. The 2018 basketball Rocky Mountain Showdown can be seen on Pac 12 Network, and listened to on KARS 102.9 FM. Eddie Herz can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

FOOTBALL
Multiple Rams take home conference awards after down year By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann
With a fifth-place finish in the Mountain Division of the Mountain West Conference, the Colorado State football team’s 3-9 record fell short of many expectations. Despite a lack of success as a team, the Rams had three players named to All-Conference teams, announced Wednesday by the MW. In his first full year on the field for the Rams, redshirt junior wideout Preston Williams made first-team All-MW on the offensive side of the ball. Williams, a former five-star recruit, put up 96 receptions for 1,345 yards and 14 touchdowns. His numbers lapped the field for the Rams and his receptions and yards were both the top mark in the MW, with his touchdown tally falling two short of Hawaii wide receiver John Ursua (16). His receptions also tied former receiver Rashard Higgins for second-most all-time in a season for the program. His 14 touchdowns tied former
Ram Michael Gallup for second-most in a season as well. In his final game against Air Force, Williams put up career highs in both yardage (248) and touchdowns (3).
2017 ALL MOUNTAIN WEST ■ First team:
Nick Stevens (QB) Michael Gallup (WR) Jake Bennett (OL) Zack Golditch (OL) ■ Second team: Dalyn Dawkins (RB) ■ Honorable Mention: Evan Colorito (LB) Dalton Fackrell (TE) Trae Moxley (OL) Ryan Stonehouse (P) Josh Watson (LB) On the special teams’ end, sophomore Ryan Stonehouse earned first-team All-MW honors as well, just a year after receiving an honorable mention. Stonehouse tallied a 48.31 yards per punt mark, good for first in the conference and second in the nation.
Redshirt senior Rams’ linebacker Josh Watson earned a spot on the conference’s second team.
2018 ALL MOUNTAIN WEST ■ First team:
Preston Williams (WR) Ryan Stonehouse (P) ■ Second team: Josh Watson (LB) Watson accumulated a team-high 131 tackles on the year, 8.5 for a loss. The linebacker also scooped up a pair of fumble recoveries. The tackles mark was tied for sixth in the nation overall. The trio of awarded players comes just a year after four Rams made the first-team AllMW team on offense, with former tailback Dalyn Dawkins as the lone offensive player on the second team. No defensive players made the cut last year. Luke Zahlmann can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

VOLLEYBALL
Rams head to Washington for NCAA tournament By Sergio Santistevan @TheRealsSergio
Another year, another NCAA Volleyball Tournament appearance for Coach Tom Hilbert’s squad. For the 24th-consecutive season, the Colorado State volleyball team will make an appearance in the NCAA tournament. After an up and down start, the Rams won 12 straight games in the latter portion of the season to finish first in the Mountain West with a 23-7 record and 15-3 in the conference to earn an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament. Fortunately for the Rams, there will be no traveling to Stanford University this weekend. The Cardinals are the Rams most common tournament opponent in school history and the No.1 overall seed in this year’s tournament. Instead, CSU will travel to Pullman, Washington in a region hosted by Washington State University. Joined by two other teams, along with the host, CSU has to defeat two teams this weekend in order to advance in the tournament, starting with the University of Tennessee.
“We kind of thought we were gonna be put in Stanford again. Which would be a fun challege, but you know, then again, they’re ranked first. So it is nice to know we are in Pullman, Washington and that it is a very winnable outcome.” KATIE OLEKSAK SETTER
Tennessee The Rams and the Volunteers go head-to-head on Friday at 4 p.m. in the Bohler Gymnasium. When both teams take the court, there will be a sense of unfamiliarity. Both schools have only met four times in history, with the most recent meeting coming in 2012 on a neutral site tournament held in Wichita, Kansas in a match the Volunteers won. In the first meeting in 1983, the Volunteers came out victorious, but CSU won back-to-back matches in 1990 and 2009.

Tennessee (25-5) finished second in the Southeastern Conference this season. Under first-year Head Coach Eve Rackham, the Volunteers have won 11 matches in a row and are making their first tournament appearance since 2012. Both teams played common opponents this season, like Indiana State University and Louisiana State University, and each team came out victorious in those respective matchups. On Sunday evening at The Mayor of Old Town, Hilbert told fans that he doesn’t know much about Tennessee but gave his respect to Rackham as a coach. “I think we got a great draw. I don’t know much about Tennessee, I know they’ve been an emerging team this year,” Hilbert said at the selection show watch party. “I’m sure they’re a very athletic team in the SEC.” Hilbert will have to game plan for Tennessee’s senior middle blocker Erica Treiber and junior outside hitter Tessa Grubbs who was voted to the All-SEC Team. Treiber ended the season ranked in the top five of her
conference in hitting percentage, blocks per set and aces per set, an accomplishment that only one other player in the nation achieved. Also, she holds the highest career hitting percentage (.360) in program history. Grubbs played a large role on the attack, as she finished with six 20-plus kill matches in the last 10 matches. She finished the season with 414 kills, enough to rank her in the top30 nationally. Northern Arizona In the event of an upset over the host-team, the Rams will meet up with Northern Arizona Saturday. The Lumberjacks (26-8) earned their way into the tournament by winning the Big Sky Conference. This will be NAU’s third time in the big dance in program history (1999 and 2015). Much like Tennessee and CSU, the Lumberjacks rode a late-season winning streak of 13 straight matches, their second-longest win streak in history. With the University of Nevada, Reno, Portland State University and the University of Northern Colorado as three
common opponents, there is a lot of tape both teams can evaluate before their potential matchup. Big Sky Co-Most Valuable Player Kaylie Jorgenson will be something the Rams will try and shut down as the redshirt senior has recorded a total of 488.5 points on the year. Washington State Washington State is the host team this weekend for a reason. The Cougars (21-9) are the No. 16 overall seed and are making their third-straight appearance in the tournament under Coach Jen Greeny. In a rigid Pac-12 conference, where two-thirds of the conference is appearing in the tournament, the Cougars finished in fourth place. In the past two seasons, WSU advanced past their first game but fell the following night. The Rams and Cougars have only one common opponent, the University of Colorado. CSU fell to the Buffaloes 3-1, but the Cougars defeated their Pac-12 conference foe twice this season. Seniors Taylor Mims and
McKenna Woodford lead the way for Cougars. Mims and Woodford each earned AllPac-12 Team honors. Mims is efficient on the offensive attack, averaging 3.78 kills per set. She has recorded over 1,000 kills in her career and ranks in the top 10 in nearly every category in program history. WSU’s other offensive weapon, Woodford, led the team in kills this season with 398. Woodford averages 3.37 kills per set and is fourth-all time in program history in points, behind Mims. CSU will be challenged this weekend in a win-or-go-home scenario but coming out of Pullman is achievable in the eyes of the Rams. “We kind of thought we were gonna be put in Stanford again,” Oleksak said. “Which would be a fun challenge, but you know, then again, they’re ranked first. So it is nice to know we are in Pullman, Washington and that it is a very winnable outcome.” Sergio Santistevan can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Nuggets rout Lakers, convert King James disciples into recruits By Mark Kiszla The Denver Post
After sending the Los Angeles LeBrons home with a 117-85 defeat, the Nuggets should have offered one of their cool rainbow skyline uniforms to each one of the thousands of fans who showed up at the Pepsi Center wearing a jersey that celebrated every team King James has ever played for, from Akron to Miami and Cleveland to California. Turn in your LeBron James jersey and get a Nuggets rainbow skyline jersey in return. Deal? “We don’t want any converts,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said Tuesday. “You’re either with us or against us.” He was joking. Malone understands why so many sports fans in Denver rank the Nuggets, whose record is now a nifty 14-7, as no better than their second-favorite NBA team. “LeBron is arguably the best player ever, and when he comes to town with the Lakers, their fans care,” Malone said. “But as long as their fans go home disappointed, that’s all I care about. So the Warrior fans can come in here, the Celtic fans come in here, the Laker fans can come in here. But take that ‘L’ on the way out.” James got 14 points, seven rebounds and a loss. Now, it’s time for this basketball city to lose a little of its inferiority complex. Earlier this year, in an effort to recruit the league’s most desirable free agent, Nuggets president Josh Kroenke sent his famous basketball buddy a rainbow skyline uniform, and as James recalls it, “He said, ‘You’ll look good in one of these.’” Hey, I don’t pretend to know when the UPS delivery guy rang the King’s doorbell, but the gift couldn’t be considered tampering if James regarded it as a gag between friends. Asked if Kroenke made the Nuggets a legitimate contender for his services, James said, “We have a great friendship, but I didn’t give it much thought.” Ouch. Remember all the commotion around here the Nuggets were aggressively pursuing James? How funny was that? Put it this way: If I sent Halle Berry a 12-month subscription to The Denver Post, you think she’d go out to dinner with me? What if I said please? Let’s move on to a more serious question. Can the Nuggets build a championship contender faster than James returns the Lakers to
the top of the NBA heap? Around here, a basketball fairy tale is being spun, and it’s a story even more far-fetched than the notion James ever gave Denver serious consideration as a free-agent destination. There’s this naïve belief the young Nuggets shouldn’t get too good too fast, because so long as the Golden State dynasty remains intact and in power, there’s no path for Denver to the NBA Finals. Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Gary Harris have time on their side. There are only two major problems with that crooked thinking: It underestimates King James as both a player and a general manager.
“LeBron is arguably the best player ever, and when he comes to town with the Lakers, their fans care. But as long as their fans go home disappointed, that’s all I care about. So the Warrior fans can come in here, the Celtic fans come in here, the Laker fans can come in here. But take that ‘L’ on the way out.”
MICHAEL MALONE NUGGETS COACH
James celebrates his 34th birthday before this year is over. You think he’s going to stand by idly and concede championships to the Warriors until they grow bored with hugging the Larry O’Brien Trophy? The Nuggets will finish ahead of the Lakers in the Western Conference standings this season. But next season? It’s good to be the King. Here’s guessing James will figure out a way to have Kevin Durant or Kawhi Leonard as a sidekick in purple and gold. The Lakers will be ready to take down the Warriors no later than 2020. My humble suggestion: The Nuggets should consider sending one of those retro-hip rainbow uniforms to LeBron James, Jr. He’s 14 years old. Start the recruitment process now. In five years, Bronny and the Nuggets might be ready to take down the King. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

‘Beautiful Boy’ illustrates familial addiction pains By Miranda Moses @mirandasrad
Director Felix van Groeningen’s new heart-retching non-fiction “Beautiful Boy” is by no means for the hopelessly empathetic or the emotionally delicate. The Amazon Studios flick is based upon two books, “Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines” by Nic Sheff and “Beautiful Boy: A Father’s Journey Through His Son’s Addiction” by David Sheff. Both works de-
scribe the two perspectives of addiction, from the eyes of the addict and through the eyes of those who care deeply for him. Based off the actual lives and works of the authors, “Beautiful Boy” tells a story of relentless loss and unwavering love through graphic portrayals of reality and strife. Nic Sheff (Timothée Chalamet), develops a crystal meth addiction in his late teens. David Sheff (Steve Carrel), is Nic’s father, another person engulfed by addiction’s toll. The protagonist’s vulnerable moments, present in flashbacks of his childhood and the gentle, intimate instants he shares with his younger siblings, besiege the stigma of his addiction as a criminalization of him. Rather, these brief snapshots of positivity remind audiences that addiction happens to those who love and are
loved. This is perhaps what makes Nic Sheff’s juxtaposing shifts of erratic, self-imposed violence so painful to witness. The film largely elucidates David Sheff’s hardships as he helplessly attempts to cure the person he describes to love more than anything in the entire world: his son. His desperate intentions to understand result in him trying his son’s addiction himself, digging his son out of ditches in the rain and disassociating from the family around him. He learns that he is not the cure or the cause, but his bounds of love are both his motivation and the source of his pain. Chalamet seems to to have officially established himself as an unwavering staple on current indie screens. He encapsulates apprehensive intelligence and the simultaneous loss of self through commitment to his
character’s benevolent highs and lows. Carrel’s emergence of his salt and pepper appearance seems to recently occur in accordance with his seasoning as an actor. Centering an even more intensely incessant, authenticated misery than we witnessed him cultivate in “Little Miss Sunshine,” Carrel delivered profound hopelessness and resilience. Although good, I find two major caveats in this film. Firstly, for those who may have experienced the themes of this film, there are explicit portrayals of drug use that could be triggering. The extremity and unnerving aspects of this film is one of the reasons why it is so hard-hitting and dynamic. I want to acknowledge that witnessing this commentary could cost more for some than others. Additionally, although it
broke down vital stigmas of fault and evil, I wish for a movie that doesn’t simply decriminalize another white, upper-class boy who seems to “have it all.” Modern media has an undeniable pattern of justifying the relationships certain types of people have with drugs while profiting off violent portrayals of others. Should you watch it? If you want to get in your feels. This work aims to highlight a human experience often shrouded in either romantic portrayals of the issue or dehumanization of those who suffer from drug abuse. The feverish agony I experience during and after watching this movie are an indicator of workmanship and a well-portrayed humanity. Miranda Moses can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

Glory Edim, founder of Well-Read Black Girl, discusses anthology By Anjali Enjeti Newsday
Glory Edim is an avid reader who always has a book in her hand. Her book habit prompted her partner to design a custom T-shirt for Edim’s 31st birthday with “Well-Read Black Girl,” her birth date and the names of her favorite black women authors emblazoned across the front. Everywhere Edim wore it, African-American women asked her what she was reading. The conversations inspired her to start the Well-Read Black Girl Instagram account in May 2015. A picture of the T-shirt’s design was the first post. A newsletter and monthly book club discussion soon followed. In September 2017, the inaugural Well-Read Black Girl Festival brought 300 readers to Brooklyn. In the new anthology she edited, “Well-Read Black Girl: Finding Our Stories, Discovering Ourselves” (Ballantine Books, 272 pp., $20), Edim
gathers 21 essays from today’s most celebrated authors — including Tayari Jones, Jacqueline Woodson, Rebecca Walker and Lynn Nottage — describing how books from various genres by black women authors empowered them as readers and helped them to see themselves in the world. Edim spoke about the book to Newsday by telephone; the interview has been edited for length and clarity. Q: Were you surprised at how quickly Well-Read Black Girl took off? A: I would have been content with WRBG just being a monthly book club, newsletter and Instagram account. But then in early 2016, a woman named Ivie Arasomwan (we’ve since become friends) wrote me a letter. “Thank you for being bold, building community, and sharing love without limits. It’s women like you that enhance the legacy of African women in this country and beyond,” she wrote. Letters like
Arasomwan’s and the many others I received from black girls and women of all ages made me think, “Wow this is bigger than a book club.” I then began envisioning WRBG as a powerful movement, a significant part of black women’s lineage and inheritance. Q: Can you comment on the order of the essays in the book? A: I’m an intuitive reader and writer who tends to go with what feels good for me. When I was reading all of the essays separately, I noticed a common thread. The essays reflect the trajectory of the writer’s life _ the moments they go through and how they decide to be committed to their profession beginning with that kind of immersion of self-doubt expressed in Jesmyn Ward’s and Veronica Chambers’ essays — honest origin stories for how they became readers and writers. Q: In Barbara Smith’s essay, “Go Tell It,” she writes, “As I continued to devour books, I
was constantly making adjustments in my mind to account for the distance between me and the white characters, even the ones I liked.” Did you have this experience reading as a child? A: Barbara Smith had an aunt who was a librarian and other exemplary role models who introduced her to black literature. So many people don’t have that kind of access, though. Even today, I’ll get a letter from a young black girl who will say she can’t find any books reflective of her own experiences. In Ward’s essay, she writes about her disappointment in a children’s books and about how she didn’t see herself in a book until she wrote one herself. For many black writers, this is our experience. When I read Virginia Woolf and Jane Austen in school I didn’t really question that we were reading mostly white authors — I didn’t even realize I was longing for more black authors. I
questioned this much later in life. It’s part of the reason why I attended Howard University, a historically black college. Q: The second WRBG Festival takes place Nov. 10. What can attendees look forward to? A: This year I’m looking at the role of activism in fiction, and how we can use it to inspire and build fortitude with everything that’s happening in the world. We still need to keep a high level of resistance, and I want people to still feel creatively inspired about the work that’s being produced. We’ll be doing a tribute to James Baldwin’s novel “If Beale Street Could Talk” in light of the film’s upcoming release. Patricia Smith is this year’s key note speaker. She’s a truth teller with this essence and presence. She’s the perfect example of the kind of activism we’re building on — bold and uncompromising. Content pulled from Tribune News Service

‘Ralph Breaks the Internet’ dives into friendships, internet memes By Graham Shapley @shapleygraham
Friendships change, even friendships between a go-gart racer and a guy who wrecks buildings for a living. This is the main theme of the new Disney animated movie “Ralph Breaks the Internet.” “Wreck-It Ralph” surprised audiences in 2012 with a heartfelt story that focuses on video game characters inside an acarade. With a message of selflove and a video game aesthetic, the movie was moderately successful with a rating of 86 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The sequel “Ralph Breaks the Internet” kicks off with an incident damaging character Vanellope von Schweetz’s (Sarah Silverman) arcade cabinet. This renders her and the other residents of her game homeless unless a replacement part can be ordered online. For those who liked the first movie because of its subject matter, namely the video game aesthetics, “Ralph Breaks the Internet” may not appeal that much. As the title implies, Ralph (John C. Reilly) and Vanellope exit their arcade to the World Wide Web, realized in gorgeous Disney-style 3D animation. Video game humor still abounds, but the focus shifts toward commentary on
internet and meme culture. For viewers who want to see how characters grow and change, this film might hit the spot. Ralph and Vanellope share the spotlight, but other fan-favorite characters like Fix-it Felix (Jack McBrayer), a character that embraces the ever-enthusiastic Mario pastiche and Sergeant Calhoun (Jane Lynch), a gun-toting hero of a single shooter game, are pushed to the sidelines. After a series of shenanigans involving a bidding war on eBay and an attempt to get rich quick by playing video games, the real thrust of the story is revealed. Ralph must become a viral video star to earn the cash for the needed part. This portion of the movie, while quite funny, is full of memes and references to other viral videos that will likely be stale within the next few years. The trouble with making a film about internet culture is that it moves too fast to keep up with. With contemporary references to popular video game “Fortnite,” screaming goat memes and bee puns, “Ralph Breaks the Internet” feels dated before even leaving theaters. While Ralph becomes a viral star, Vanellope winds up on the Disney website where she comes across all of the classic Disney princesses in a single room. This scene is hilarious and would have been ten times better if the entire thing wasn’t spoiled in the trailers. One of the major problems with the movie is lack of surprises. The message is laid out early and stomped into the dust. Most adults watching the
movie can probably see where the story is going. That doesn’t make it any less heartbreaking when Ralph and Vanellope want different things from their lives. The stress this puts on their friendship shines through and will hit home with audience members, especially for those going through a transition in their lives. All of this culminates in a finale which makes the movie worthwhile. It includes one of the most unsettling visuals from Disney animation and some fun pay-off for the chaos earlier in the movie, as well as the emotional core of the story. Finally, in true Disney fashion, there is a clip after the credits. It is from an upcoming movie, and I promise it is worth waiting for.
NOW PLAYING ■ “Ralph Breaks the Internet” is
now playing at the Fort Collins and Greeley Cinemark theaters.
Should you see it?: Yes, if you liked the first one. “Ralph Breaks the Internet” is not a bad film by any means, and there’s a lot to love. It’s just not quite great. Personally, I’ll probably return to the original movie when I want to see these characters and the creativity of their world, but I can see people enjoying this one equally or potentially more than the first.

“Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom” one of 2018’s best books By Matthew Price Newsday
Frederick Douglass’ journey from slavery to freedom to renown is one of the astounding stories of 19th-century America. Born Fredrick Bailey in 1818 on Maryland’s Eastern Shore to a slave woman and a white man whose identity remains unknown, Douglass made a daring escape from captivity in 1838, settled in the North he lived in Rochester for many years and quickly emerged as a star orator and ferocious abolitionist. With an almost unmatched rhetorical firepower, Douglass mounted a devastating critique of slavery, its psychological effects on both master and enslaved, and its dire meanings for the Republic. Self-taught, Douglass was blessed with abundant literary gifts that he showcased in hundreds of articles and a series of classic autobiographies. In one of the year’s most impressive biographies, Yale historian David W. Blight captures the many sides of this complex man. Blight has spent the better part of his scholarly career pondering Douglass’ odyssey. Even if the author’s prose can shade into a fulsome ripeness, “Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom” is superb. It gives a full portrait of Douglass’ political evolution, his family life and the emotional upheavals born of Douglass’ unlikely trajectory from slave to, as he often put it, a “self-made man.” Blight methodically details the emergence of Douglass as a prominent figure in the years leading up to the Civil War and the fractious tendencies of the antislavery movement. Tall and strikingly handsome he was often photographed in elegant garb and starched white shirts Douglass was a defiant speaker, melding Old Testament thunder with sarcasm, irony and withering scorn. Christian wrath resonated in his speeches denouncing the nation’s vile compact with slavery: “Oh! be warned! be warned! A horrible reptile is coiled up in your nation’s bosom,” he told the audience at a July Fourth address in 1852. “The venomous creature is nursing at the tender breast of your youthful republic.” Douglass moved from the tutelage of abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison and the extreme pacifist wing of the movement into political agitation and an embrace of righteous violence. As Blight observes, Douglass’ calls for vengeance were partly a salve to the wounds, both physical and emotional, inflicted on him by slavery. He forged a close friendship with fanatical abolitionist John Brown, though he

(wisely) declined to participate in the doomed raid on Harpers Ferry, which the fiery Brown hoped would stoke a slave uprising. Amid a demanding speaking schedule that took him from Ohio to Ireland, Douglass watched his family grow. He had five children with wife Anna, herself an exslave. Yet he sought the companionship of other women who were more his intellectual equal; Blight provides a sensitive account of his controversial relationships with Julia Griffiths Crofts, an English abolitionist, and Ottilie Assing, a German activist and editor. Both spent extended periods of time in the Douglass household. It was a unique multiracial experiment, even if it put great strain on Anna. Douglass was devoted to his sometimes wayward offspring: “Slavery had denied him a father; he would never let that happen to his children,” Blight explains. Douglass took stern delight in the immediate aftermath of Confederate secession. “Douglass wanted the clarity of polarized conflict,” Blight writes. “He wanted war.” He had hoped the newly formed Republican Party would embrace, in his words, “the brave and inspiring march of a storming party,” but he settled for the “slow processes of a cautious siege.” Still, he furiously rebuked Abraham Lincoln, later a friend,
for Lincoln’s initial caution about the slavery issue and reluctance to take up the cause of abolition. Douglass believed this should be the singular focus of the Union cause: “No war but an Abolition war,” he thundered in 1864, as the conflict reached its grim climax. “No peace but an Abolition peace; liberty for all, chains for none; the black man a soldier in war, a laborer in peace.” Douglass agitated for equal pay for black soldiers, a vexing issue in Union armies. (Two of his sons served: One, Lewis, was seriously wounded in South Carolina serving with the famed 54th Massachusetts black regiment.) Blight does not scant the last third of Douglass’ life he died in Washington, D.C., in 1895 nor the brief triumphs of Reconstruction. Douglass fought vigorously for black (male) suffrage, only to see a violent white counterrevolution eclipse the gains of emancipation. To the charge that Douglass lapsed into quiescence and conservatism, Blight is forthright: “He kept his fangs filed on issues of racism, violence, states’ rights, and the nation’s memory.” Douglass endures as central figure in the great saga of race and slavery in America.
