LARAMIE, Wyo.- Despite stifling an extremely electric Wyoming offense in War Memorial Stadium, Colorado State lost its second consecutive conference game, 16-13.

“I’m disappointed for our football team. They played their guts out,” head coach Mike Bobo said. “The (Wyoming) quarterback (Josh Allen) was the difference – their quarterback run game, being able to get an extra hat in the box. And then offensively, for us, not being able to

finish drives. We controlled the clock, the game was playing in our hands how we wanted and we just couldn’t finish on either side of the ball.”

In a game that featured two of the best quarterbacks in the league in Wyoming’s Josh Allen and CSU’s Nick Stevens, the 107th installment of the Border War was highlighted by defense.

Having to endure intense winds and wet snow, both offenses failed to get much momentum going Saturday night and the defensive units were able to capitalize.

While the game was primarily a struggle for the Rams’ offense, CSU did get the scoring started with a 41-yard field goal from Wyatt Bryan on the opening drive of the game. The Rams were only the third team this season to score on the Pokes in the first quarter, joining Oregon (Sept. 16) and Utah State (Oct. 14).

It was a struggle for the rest of the half though, as the Rams battled adverse weather conditions and a stout Wyoming defensive effort.

After taking a slim 10-6 lead

into halftime, the Rams came out in the second half and looked to take the air out of the football.

Relying primarily on the ground attack, CSU was able to control the tempo and keep possession of the football. In total, the CSU offense held possession for over 20 minutes in the final two quarters alone and more than doubled the Cowboys’ time of possession. It would not be enough though, as a late rushing touchdown for the Cowboys secured the victory for Wyoming.

26 dead, several children wounded in Texas church shooting

By Matt Pearce & John Savage Los Angeles Times

SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Texas - At least 26 people were shot and killed Sunday when a 26-year-old gunman dressed in black opened fire at a Baptist church in a small town near San Antonio.

An additional 20 people were injured in the attack, which happened as a church service was underway at First Baptist Church in the town of Sutherland Springs, police said.

Freeman Martin, regional director of the Texas Department of Public Service, said the suspect, dressed all in black and wearing a tactical vest, initially began firing with an AR-15-style Ruger rifle outside the church at about 11:20 a.m., then entered the church and continued firing.

After the gunman left the church, a local citizen drew his own weapon and engaged the suspect, who dropped his weapon. The unidentified citizen then pursued the suspect by car into an adjacent county, where the suspect ran off the road and was later found dead in his vehicle with multiple weapons inside, Martin

said.

“At this time, we don’t know if it was a self-inflicted wound or if he was shot by our local resident,” Martin said. The citizen who confronted the gunman was unhurt.

Sunday’s mass shooting was the deadliest in the modern history of Texas, surpassing a 1991 massacre in Killeen that left 23 dead.

The top five deadliest shootings in modern American history have all come in the last 10 years, with two of them in the past six weeks: the Oct. 1 shootings in Las Vegas, which killed 58, and now, the shooting in Sutherland Springs.

President Donald Trump, who has been briefed on the attack on his trip to Asia, called it a “horrific shooting” in a “place of sacred worship.”

In a time of crisis, he said, “Americans will do what we do best: We pull together and join hands and lock arms and through the tears and sadness we stand strong.”

Wilson County Sheriff Joe Tackett appealed for understanding during the crisis. “We need your support,” he said at a news conference. “And media, don’t blow it out there that it should have never happened, because it

does happen, and we sincerely feel sorry for all the people who are involved.”

According to a sketchy police account of the incident, two people were killed outside the church, 23 people were killed inside and one person died after being taken to the hospital. The victims’ ages ranged from 5 to 72 years old.

The deaths were a devastating shock to a community with only a few hundred residents. “I know at least five people who were killed” said Chris Taylor, 59, who owns a gas station two blocks from the church.

Local police declined to identify the suspect, but a Texas congressman and another law enforcement source identified him as Devin P. Kelley, 26, a resident of Comal County, Texas.

A Facebook profile under the gunman’s name featured a photo of an AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle. In recent months, Kelley was adding strangers as friends on Facebook from “within 20 minutes” of the Sutherland Springs area and starting Facebook fights with them, according to area resident Johnathan Castillo.

Castillo accepted Kelley’s friend request a couple of months

ago, thinking that maybe he or his friends had met Kelley but hadn’t remembered him. But Kelley soon proved to be troublesome.

“A lot of people were deleting him” for “starting drama” on Facebook, including sending insulting Facebook messages, Castillo said.

“It’s like he went looking for it, you know what I mean?” Castillo said. “You can tell people who are defending their opinions, versus someone who’s looking to start something.”

Castillo said he was angry with the gunman, noting the picture of the rifle on Kelley’s Facebook page, “making the rest of us who actually hunt look bad.”

Investigators have not given any possible motive for the attack.

“The details of this horrific act are still under investigation,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement before he headed to join local, state and federal officials at the scene. “I want to thank law enforcement for their response and ask that all Texans pray for the Sutherland Springs community during this time of mourning and loss.”

U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, said the dead included a pregnant woman and children,

based on the congressman’s briefing with local law enforcement authorities.

At least 10 victims, including four children, were being treated at the University Health System in nearby San Antonio, the hospital said in a tweet.

Four members of one family were injured. Joann Ward and her three children were hurt, according to a family friend, Gracie Crews, of nearby Stockdale, Texas, who was at the hospital with the family.

Ward was unconscious when officials responded to the scene, and two of the children had to be flown by helicopter to a local hospital, Crews said in a telephone interview. Crews estimated the children were between the ages of 5 and 8, and said that Saturday was Ward and her husband’s anniversary.

Eight patients with gunshot wounds were taken to Connally Memorial Medical Center in Floresville, according to spokeswoman Megan Posey.

Four of the eight patients, including one in critical condition, were subsequently transferred to

Mobile Food Pantry distributes 16,000 pounds of food

By Yixuan Xie @YixuanXiel

To begin the holiday months, the Mobile Food Pantry is at Colorado State University to help fight hunger and food insecurity.

The first Mobile Food Pantry was held Nov. 2 from 4 to 6 p.m. in front of the Hartshorn building at CSU. The Mobile Food Pantry is a monthly event intended to help people at CSU and offers up to 50 pounds of free food per person. It began last year.

532 students, faculty and staff got a total of around 16,000 pounds of food on Thursday for the Mobile Food Pantry, according to Heather Womack, warehouse coordinator at Food Bank for Larimer County, a non-profit organization that provides the food.

Womack said they picked the most expensive and nutritional food, including greens, kiwis, white cheddar, cereal, pudding, canned soups, pizza, yogurt and

lentils, to make sure people have healthy options.

Jen Johnson, one of the organizers of the Mobile Food Pantry and a staff member at the Student Leadership, Involvement, and Community Engagement (SLiCE) office at CSU, talked about the reason why they organize the Mobile Food Pantry.

“In 2013, we did a survey to figure out how many people on our campus were experiencing food insecurity, and we found about 10% of people were needing food. So (organizing the Mobile Food Pantry) is a way to address the need,” Johnson said.

Compared to the Mobile Food Pantry in October, which provided food to 425 people, there were more people who came and got food this time, according to Johnson.

“Typically, during the winter months close to the holidays, there is more need (for more food),” Johnson said.

Along with Johnson, many CSU students and staff volun-

teered to help with the Mobile Food Pantry.

Lori Vanagunas, a Dining Services employee, has volunteered four times.

“I will keep volunteering as long as they do it because it’s such a good thing,” Vanagunas said. “Besides helping people, you also see the joy in people’s faces.”

Lindsey Paricio, a senior majoring chemistry and a first-time volunteer for Mobile Food Pantry, talked about her passion for addressing the problem of food insecurity.

“I do some insecurity stuffs with ASCSU, so it’s a cause that is near and dear to my heart,” Paricio said.

Waiting in a line in chilly weather did not stop the volunteers or those waiting in line.

Sofia Gonzalez, a sophomore majoring in computer science who got food from Mobile Food Pantry, said she felt it was a good event.

“It’s helping build the com-

munity and gathering everyone to come together,” Gonzalez said.

“For some people, when they go back home, they don’t have much food to eat and (the Mobile Food Pantry) will be helpful to them. (The food provided) is

also a good mixture of fresh food, which is good for right now, and nonperishable food, which is good for later.”

CITY

Fort Collins community plans city housing for the next 30 years

By Samantha Ye @Samxye4

Fort Collins is expected to gain 50,000 to 80,000 residents in the next 20 to 30 years, and they will all live inside Legos.

Or actually, the housing the Legos represent.

Community members from around the city gathered in the Fort Collins Senior Center to play a city planning game, where they used different colored Legos each representing different types of housing, to decide where new community members might live in the future.

The game was developed

by Colorado State University’s Center for Public Deliberation, in partnership with the City of Fort Collins, to get people thinking about the city’s housing problem in an interesting way.

“What we do with (CPD) is a way to do things differently, to get people to communicate in ways that they don’t always get to and they’re not used to, but that can turn out to be pretty organic,” said Kalie McMonagle, CPD program coordinator.

The game went through several test trials before its debut Thursday evening.

Its rules were simple: decide a mix of housing types, make sure there is enough housing for 70,000 people and place the housing. Due to current ratios

of housing types, single-family homes were not allowed to exceed 50 percent of total new buildings.

Pre-registered event goers were split into several table groups of four to six, each with a CPD facilitator who helped moderate the discussions and run the game.

After a brief introduction from Ryan Mounce, project manager from City Planning, teams began discussing what kind of housing they wanted and why.

Groups could choose from six different types of housing: accessory dwelling units, single-family houses, small multifamily buildings, townhouses, medium multifamily buildings and large multifamily buildings. They differed in size, population density and aesthetic, all qualities groups considered when making their mix.

Community member Matthew Scott compared the growth of Fort Collins to that of Los Angeles where he grew up. “(If ) you fly into L.A. now, it’s a concrete slab,” Scott said.

“They built a lot of single-family homes, and there was no sense of thought toward sustainability or trying to create usable space … they just built things. My fear is to see that happen here.”

Scott’s group ended up with a mix of predominantly townhouses and single-family homes, but they also utilized

several multifamily buildings.

During the placement portion of the game, groups were given maps of the city which showed areas still open for development. Groups could also place new buildings in already developed areas with the knowledge that it would require redevelopment of the space.

That meant players had to have a decent knowledge of the city layout.

At the end of the game, players reflected on the factors they had to, or failed to, consider throughout the game.

David Graham, a city resident also in Scott’s group, talked about the complications an inefficient public transportation system meant for a quickly growing city.

“If I want to go from (one street) up (a couple blocks), I have to go all the way around (on the circular bus route),” Graham said.

Graham suggested more frequent bus stops, a MAX system down Harmony using the existing bike paths and maybe driverless buses in the future.

At the end of the event, Mc-

Monagle said she was very happy with the event turnout.

“I loved seeing people standing up, talking, and it’s not often that you’re at, like, a city council meeting that you hear people laughing,” McMonagle said. “And that, I think, is one of the most fun parts about ‘gamifying’ something like this, is actually getting people engaged in their community in a way that feels good, because so much of politics right now doesn’t feel good.”

Sustainability: How do we measure it?

CAMPUS

By Jorge Espinoza @jorgespinoza14

Engaging people in sustainability was at the center of “Sustainability: How do we measure it,” a panel held by the Colorado State University School of Global Environmental Sustainability.

The panel was held on Nov. 2nd at Avogadro’s Number in Fort Collins.

The panel consisted of Keith Paustian, a soil and crop sciences professor, Josie Plaut, the associate director of the Institute for the Built Environment, Sarah Reed, an affiliate faculty member in the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology, and John Sheehan, research scientist in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences.

The discussion between the panelist and community members centered around what can be done to engage people in sustain-

ability, and for people like Sandy Steel, a visiting New Yorker, the discussion provided a way to contribute to sustainability talks.

“Being a certain age, I need to contribute and learn as much as I can to leave the world and leave my children with a better world, not one that’s going to destroy itself,” Steele said.

According to Plaut, being sustainable is more than reducing the harm that’s already been done to the planet.

“I see sustainability as an overarching goal which is about preserving our ability to maintain a healthy and thriving life on the planet, and there are different avenues we can go about to helping realize that goal,” Plaut said. “Some of it is about harm reduction, but some of it is also about capacity building.”

According to Sheehan teaching people about sustainability is key to making people understand

what sustainability is.

“Achieving sustainability has to actually start with the basic attitudes of all of us as citizens,” Sheehan said. “If we don’t get a more common understanding of where we’re headed, and what we want for our children and grandchildren, then we have no chance at being successful.”

According to Plaut, to teach people the content has to be relatable to what is going on.

“What I’ve been thinking about and working on more recently, because of what I’ve noticed between companies, municipalities and projects that I work with is that, yes, it’s true that mindset is important, but what’s more important is where mindset comes from and that’s will,” Plaut said.

Plaut said in order for people to change their mindsets, they need their values questioned.

“Will comes from our values

and our beliefs,” Plaut said. “When you can help connect people to what they cherish and relate to them from that place, that is where mindset comes from. The work, in my opinion, is about evoking will.”

Paustian said scientists can be more transparent to help people understand what sustainability is.

“I think that a really important thing is completeness and transparency,” Paustian said.

“Transparency is really important because you can say, ‘Well, here are all my calculations for how sustainable this product is’, but it’s like, ‘Well, how did you come up with that?’”

Transparency in how sustainability measured is only a part of the issue. According to Sheehan, the overall presentation needs to be more general to help people understand.

“We’ve become so specialized and so jargon-y in how we talk that we’ve lost our ability to communi-

cate more broadly,” Sheehan said.

“We need to be generalist instead of specialist, and then we can really start to communicate.”

Plaut said humans can do their part to have a positive impact on the environment.

“I believe that the disdain that the sustainability movement often holds for the human species as it relates to the rest of the living system that we are apart of, is core to the issue that we have,” Plaut said. “I believe human beings can play a positive contributive role in the evolution and well being of natural living systems, and that withdrawing and abandoning ourselves from that is in a way not honoring the capacity we have to be a contributor of the well being of the whole, so I would fundamentally challenge the notion of a separation between wilderness and us.”

Jorge Espinoza can be reached at news@collegian.com.

“It’s a really sad deal, man. I can’t describe it,” Wilson County Commissioner Albert Gamez Jr. told CBS News, in a phone call from outside the church.

He said the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were already on the scene assisting investigators. “We’ve got them all here.”

Families gathered outside

the church and held hands as they cried and waited for news about the injured and the dead.

The small church located in a sparsely populated area of a town of fewer than 700 residents was known for its close sense of community.

It posted its Sunday services regularly on YouTube, and last Sunday’s was built around a chapter from the Book of Prov-

erbs and the theme, “You don’t need training wheels, you need Christ!”

The service consisted of songs backed by an electric guitar and bass, and a long sermon

by Pastor Pomeroy. As the service began, congregants milled about, hugging one another and shaking hands. They were all white, a mix of ages, and it appeared clear they were close.

As they greeted one another, the three-person band sang: “God is good, all the time, through the darkest night his light will shine. ... If you’re walking through the valley, and there are shadows all around, do not fear, He will guide you, He will keep you safe and sound.”

Exercise is not always healthy Lauren Willson @LaurenKealani

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by the Collegian or its editorial board.

In the United States, an estimated one-third of adults are obese. Exercise is touted as one of the best things you can do for your health. Given how positively it’s portrayed, it might seem hard to believe that there could be a such thing as too much exercise. It’s cited as a cure-all for whatever ails you, whether it’s disease, depression or body weight. But anything in excess can be harmful, and exercise is no exception.

Exercise addiction, understood as “an unhealthy obsession with physical fitness and exercise,” affects an estimated 3 to 5 percent of the American population. This condition has severely negative impacts on emotional, physical and social well-being.

Indeed, exercise addiction is diagnosed according to criteria almost identical to that of substance abuse. Symptoms of an individual with exercise addiction are seen in multiple ways.

Having experienced it myself, I can testify that exercise addiction has extremely deleterious consequences for one’s social, emotional and physical health.

I suffered from what is known as secondary exercise addiction, meaning it developed concurrently with another condition; in my case, this was an eating disorder. Primary exercise addiction, by contrast, develops independently of other conditions. In either case, however, decreased quality of life is apparent.

For as long as I’ve struggled with anorexia nervosa, I have also dealt with exercise addiction.

Over the years it has taken different forms, each destructive in their own ways.

When I was 15, I became addicted to running. For an entire summer, every morning at 7 a.m., I would drag my emaciated body out of bed and run 3-4 miles. Even after I developed swelling in my ankles from overexertion and poor circulation, I continued to run. The psychological high that ensued from running on empty— quite literally—kept me addicted to the behavior even as physical injury ensued.

When I was 17 and in a recovered state, I developed (what

was initially) a healthy passion for weightlifting. I took a strength and conditioning class at my high school, which consisted of two to three 80-minute classes per week.

At first, all I cared about was getting stronger. But soon my eating disorder crept back in, and before I knew it, I was lifting for the sake of aesthetic and weight loss.

I put less effort into my schoolwork and friendships due to fatigue, and subsequently my grades dropped and relationships faltered. Meanwhile, my level of exertion in the gym only increased. I was chasing the highs, over and over. One day, a classmate told me, “I’ve never seen someone exercise so much in my life!” I failed to detect the concern in his voice, instead interpreting his words as a compliment. I was so deluded I might as well have been on drugs.

Exercise addiction damaged my family relationships as well.

When my sister needed help moving into her apartment in Arizona, I refused to accompany her and my mother. The trip would have only been two days long, but the thought of being away from the gym for that long was unbearable. Instead of helping my sister, whom I love dearly, I stayed home alone with nothing to keep me company except workout videos and trips to the gym.

I still struggle with exercise dependency. But today it is more of a hard habit than an addiction. I am in the student recreation center seven days per week, but only five to six of those days are spent weightlifting. The others I just do some form of cardio. This, for me, is progress.

But those cardio days are nevertheless mentally challenging.

Sometimes I feel lazy, pathetic, and weak, or I get irritable and short with those around me. I certainly have a lot of work to do before I am “sober.”

But if struggles with exercise addiction have taught me anything, it is how important it is to speak up about this affliction. Exercise can be a wonderful thing, but when taken to extremes, it erodes the fibers of the body, the mind and the soul.

Fortunately, there are ways to combat exercise addiction, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, counseling and expanding one’s hobbies. If you or someone you know is struggling with exercise addiction, seek help. The CSU Health Network or Addiction. com are both great resources with which to start.

College students often neglect mental health Michelle Fredrickson @mfredrickson42

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.

It’s no secret that students are more or less stressed out.

The life of a student is hectic, busy and fraught with turmoil in work, personal relationships and discovering identity.

This life can lead to a high rate of mental health concerns.

On average, 86 percent of students in a national survey reported feeling overwhelmed, and 50 percent had felt overwhelming anxiety.

Yet, only 20 percent of college students will seek professional help with their mental health sometime during their college career.

Seeking care for mental health is a perfectly normal, acceptable part of life. Looking after mental health is just as important as looking after physical health. Individuals and organizations should put effort into identifying the barriers to students for accessing mental health care in order to help them access it.

I have anxiety. I’ve always had anxiety, but I never even dreamed of seeing a counselor or getting psychiatric treatment. That was until a series of events including reporting on a triple homicide, my boyfriend cheating on me, and working 60 hours a week on top of school caused me to not sleep at all for almost a week. Anytime I tried to sleep, panic attacks would wake me up.

That was my breaking point, but I should never have let it get that serious before doing something about it. After all, I would never have let pneumonia build up in my chest until I physically couldn’t take it anymore.

Up until this breaking point I told myself, it’s all in my head so I should be able to fix it on my own. But after a certain point I realized that I couldn’t fix it on my own. I was invalidating my suffering because it was mental.

Now, I take medication and seek counseling when I need it.

My experiences helped me to come a long way in understanding mental health. The brain is a part of the body, and experiences felt in the brain are no

less valid health concerns than those felt in the rest of the body.

Nonetheless, there is a definite societal stigma around mental health. It’s no accident that I thought for most of my life that if it was happening in my head I should be able to fix it myself. That is what society believes, what society conditions its members to believe.

But college students have to know better. There is no shame in seeking care for mental health.

Andrew Romanoff, the CEO of Mental Health Colorado and former Colorado Speaker for the House, wrote an op-ed describing what he views as major barriers in Colorado to accessing mental health care.

He acknowledges the stigma, saying that many people feel that their mental health problems are personal and are thus unwilling to discuss them with a professional.

Additionally, Romanoff discusses the practical barriers to healthcare as well. Students at CSU get five free counseling sessions per semester, but for those in need of frequent visits five might not be enough. When I was in the worst part of my anxiety, I saw a counselor at least once a week for a year, and twice a week for a few months.

Once those five free sessions are up, students will find themselves navigating the ever-complex world of insurance. Though the law requires equal coverage for mental and physical health insurance, this law is not enforced, according to Romanoff.

This leads to difficulties finding providers that take insurance.

Even when insurance does cover it, this doesn’t do much good if people don’t believe their insurance works. Romanoff said nearly half the people in the state don’t think their insurance would cover mental health. While sometimes this may be true, much of the time it is a mistaken perception that becomes a barrier to accessing care.

CSU takes most insurance, provided it is not a low-income insurance from out of state.

Students at this university are lucky, and they should take advantage of this while they can.

Nearly all college students will experience some sort of mental health struggle during their college career. Every college student should utilize the counseling services available to them now and should understand their insurance for coverage outside of the University.

Asking for help with mental health is no more shameful than

going to the doctor with a flu.

In the wise, wise words of Albus Dumbledore, “Of course

it is happening inside your head, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”

VOLLEYBALL

CSU volleyball clinches 23rd consecutive postseason appearance

By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

No. 20 Colorado State volleyball swung their way to a sweep over conference rival Boise State and clinched the Mountain West Conference title with multiple weeks left in the season (27-25, 2513, 25-22).

In a match that treated the audience of Moby Arena to three very different sets, the Rams were able to take each set, regardless of the obstacle.

After a season in which the Rams yielded the conference championship to Boise State, revenge was on the mind of the senior-led Rams and they came through in front of a raucous Moby Arena. Going out with a Mountain West title was a focus from the end of last year and the team took a renewed vigor into the offseason.

“We’ve come into conference and treated everybody the same,” Jasmine Hanna said. “We’re playing somebody big every night and

we’re not overlooking anybody because the conference is so tight.

Any night, anybody can beat you.”

The defending champions came out slow early but the Broncos came back in a hurry late with a 6-0 run to eventually bring the score even at 24. Led by Kirstie Hillyer, the Rams held off the Broncos, taking the set on a Hillyer block. Despite being picked to finish second in the preseason, the Broncos have had a letdown this season, now at 6-8 in the conference. After taking the Rams to a fifth set in their first meeting, the Broncos were unable to pose much of a threat on the road.

A reversal from the first set, the Rams got out to another double-digit lead but never took their foot off the throttle taking the set by double digits. In a set that featured a .417 hitting percentage by the Rams and a reduction of service errors from four to two, the Broncos were held to a lowly -.088 hitting percentage, their lowest in a set this year.

A catalyst for the Rams’ domination was their .366 hitting mark in the match, a far cry from the usual percentage allowed by the Broncos which before the match sat below .200 on the year. In another juxtaposition from the first of their two meetings, the Rams held Boise State to a .125 hitting percentage, a key element to the sweep.

“We prepared really well,” Paulina Hougaard-Jensen said.

“Our scout team was really good and we were talking a lot about serving and blocking today, knowing if we served to a certain player we could back off (other players).”

With leads that reached double digits in two out of three sets, the Rams were front running for much of the match, riding a wave of momentum created early. In a season full of leading, the Rams were able to handle Boise State with ease, despite senior Alexandra Poletto being in street clothes for the match. Hougaard-Jensen once again filled in admirably for

the injured Poletto.

Given the roller coaster of injuries the Rams have dealt with this year, the leadership and top flight play of senior Hanna has been a constant force for their success. Hanna once again led the Rams with 13 kills to add to her Colorado State all-time record in the modern scoring era. Each kill distances the already elusive record and adds to Hanna’s legacy as one of the best hitters in school history. “(The seniors) really wanted to win (the Mountain West),” Hanna said. “It’s our last time playing Boise and I think we still have that memory of losing last year so it’s important to win all of these matches.” In the final and clinching set, the Rams flexed their comeback muscles after trailing early. After consecutive sets of hitting over .400, their percentage dropped to .281 in the concluding set, but were picked up by their defense, limiting the Broncos to .143.

After an early conclusion to

the Mountain West title race, the Rams have secured a spot in the national tournament and will begin their preparation for the tournament against conference foe Nevada on the road Thursday evening.

“We now need to look beyond,” coach Tom Hilbert said.

“Every match we play from this point on and every practice that we have is preparing us for the postseason. We’re still gonna prepare for our Mountain West opponents, but we’re going to step things up intensity and competitive wise in practice.”

The Rams have three of their final five matches on the road before concluding the year at home Nov. 25 against the University of California, Davis. An RPI boost in the remainder of the season would allow the Rams to host, though the lackluster season by Boise State will hurt the Rams, despite their season sweep of the Broncos.

BASKETBALL

CSU defeats Northern Colorado in exhibition for charity

By Austin White @ajwrules44

Exhibition basketball is usually for improvement before the season starts, but Sunday night’s game took on a greater meaning for the Colorado State Rams. CSU defeated the Northern Colorado Bears 83-79 while raising funds for hurricane relief for those affected in Puerto Rico.

General admission tickets were sold for $5 a piece with courtside tickets costing a little bit more.

A crowd of 1,079 attended the game, making out to over $5,400 raised for the charity Unidos por Puerto Rico. A portion of concession sales will also go towards the charity.

“We have Gian (Clavell) and his PR in our prayers,” senior Che Bob said on the charity. “We talked to Gian about his GoFundMe account and everything we could do to help him, it was good to do what we did for him.”

Former CSU guard Gian Clavell helped in the motivation for putting on the extra exhibition matchup because of his Puerto Rican roots. Clavell could not attend the game because of his obligation to the Dallas Mavericks, but sent a video message thanking CSU that was played on the board after the first timeout of the game.

“I thought it was for a great cause and I don’t think either coach could be happier with what they got out of it,” head coach Larry Eustachy said.

The two teams put on a solid show for the fans that attended the matchup. CSU held a small lead at

halftime with a 47-46 advantage.

Senior Che Bob came out hot from their last matchup against Colorado Mesa by putting up 18 points in 16 minutes in the first half. The Texas native also brought down six rebounds.

UNC responded with senior forward Andre Spight, who picked up 14 points in the half and put Rams’ Anthony Bonner on ice skates from a crossover and made the jumper. He finished the game with 25 points to lead the Bears.

The game stayed tight until the very end when CSU fought to hold on to a 79-77 lead. Spight stole the ball away from the Rams and took off down the court, but spun out control and lost the ball, forcing the bears to foul with 10.4 seconds left.

Redshirt junior J.D. Paige made both free throws, but Spight responded with a layup with 4.7 seconds left.

Junior Prentiss Nixon finished the job for the Rams by making the next two free throws after a UNC foul and then forced a turnover from Spight who dribbled the ball out of bounds at half court.

“What I liked was that we matched their determination, which is hard to do,” Eustachy said.

“I was hoping it went overtime to be honest with you, just to play five more minutes.”

“I think we needed that,” Bob said on playing a tight game.

“We play a tough non-conference schedule this year and our conference is no slouch so we’ll be facing games like that all year.”

Bob finished the game with 25

points to lead the Rams. Redshirt sophomore Nico Carvacho forced his way inside for 16 rebounds and nine points. The Rams finished shooting 26-for-35 from the free throw line and 43.1 percent from the field.

Bob touched on how Eustachy wants to focus on defense and rebounding. CSU had only one more board than the Bears with a 39-38 advantage. The Rams also forced 11 turnovers while picking up six assists.

CSU will take the court next Friday Nov. 10 to officially open the season against Sacramento State. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

FOOTBALL

Rams relinquish control of championship pursuit after Border War letdown

By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_

LARAMIE, Wyo. - For the first time in 2017, the Colorado State football team does not control its own destiny in the Mountain West Conference.

Two weeks ago, the Rams sat atop the conference with aspirations of both playing in and hosting the MW Championship. Following a 16-13 loss at the hands of Wyoming, the chances of that happening are now slim.

The Rams will need losses from Wyoming and Boise State in addition to winning their final two games in order to have a shot at playing in the title game. For a team soaring with confidence after a 4-0 start in the MW a short time ago, that harsh reality is setting in.

“It’s extremely tough. Obviously we still have to win the next two games to put ourselves in position of something happening, but absolutely you always want to control your own destiny,” quarterback Nick Stevens said. “Our goal from the beginning, since January, has been to win the

Mountain West Conference, and this loss definitely doesn’t help that.”

The loss is that much more disheartening given that the Rams outplayed the Cowboys for the majority of the evening.

Given the snowy conditions, the Rams looked to control the tempo with a hard-nosed rushing attack, and that’s exactly what they did.

Led by a game-high 154 yards from Dalyn Dawkins, CSU outgained Wyoming 235 to 156 on the ground. They held the ball for nearly 15 more minutes than the Cowboys and seemed in control of the game in the middle of the fourth quarter.

Despite moving the ball into Wyoming territory, the Rams were unable to finish drives on multiple occasions in the second half. At the end of the third quarter following a lengthy nine-minute drive, the Rams lined up for a 33yard field goal. The snow made itself known as holder Nathan Lucas muffed the snap, leading to a turnover on downs.

Then, after moving down to Wyoming’s 31-yard line

with seven minutes remaining in the game, head coach Mike Bobo elected to run Rashaad Boddie on fourth-and-six.

The Pokes’ defense stopped him short and drove down the field on the ensuing position to score the game-winning touchdown.

“We controlled the clock, the game was playing in our hands how we wanted,” Bobo said. “We just couldn’t finish on either side of the ball…It’s disappointing that we didn’t come here and do what we wanted to do in this ballgame.”

Reversing an alarming trend that developed in previous weeks, CSU’s defense looked dominant on Saturday.

They limited potential firstround draft pick Josh Allen to 138 yards passing and zero touchdowns. But Allen showed his versatility late, beating the Rams with his legs.

Though they played well enough to win, Evan Colorito and the defense realize they could have performed better.

And regardless of how the unit played as a whole, this loss carries more weight than others.

“We wish we could have

done better,” Colorito said. “At the end of the day, when you look at the scoreboard, that’s really what hurts the most. Regardless of whether the offense plays well, defense plays well,

the loss hurts the most.”

CU Buffs stumble in desert, lose 41-30 to Arizona State

By Brian Howell Daily Camera

Nov. 05-ASU 41, Colorado 30 How it happened: CU led most of the night, but mistakes early (including two dropped TD passes) and the inability to stop the run late proved costly.

Turning point: After ASU pulled within 27-20 early in the fourth quarter, the Sun Devils blocked a CU punt, with 11:03 to play in the fourth. Seven plays later, the Sun Devils scored a touchdown to tie the game and CU was reeling from that point on.

CU’s stars of the game RB Phillip Lindsay: Ran for 80 yards and two touchdowns.

QB Steven Montez: Threw for 345 yards and one touchdown, while having two others dropped in the end zone.

OLB Derek McCartney: Finished with 14 tackles and two pass breakups Bottom line: The Buffs blew a chance to secure bowl eligibility, and this is the type of loss that could be tough to get over emotionally.

TEMPE, Ariz. - On the verge of a second consecutive win, bowl eligibility and a little bit of demon exorcising at Sun Devil Stadium, the Colorado Buffaloes

crumbled on Saturday night.

A disastrous fourth quarter epitomized a season filled with disappointment and sent the Buffs to a crushing 41-30 defeat against Arizona State.

“It gets tough,” quarterback Steven Montez said. “It sucks losing games. We don’t come out here to lose games.

We don’t get on the plane, spend all that money, get all this gear, get all these people working to come out and take Ls like this. So, it’s tough to swallow. It sucks.”

For the Buffs (5-5, 2-5 Pac12), this may have been the most devastating defeat they’ve had this season.

Offensively, the Buffs failed to capitalize on numerous opportunities early. Then, they built three separate 10-point leads, including 27-17 going into the fourth quarter.

ASU (5-4, 4-2) rallied each team and closed the game by outscoring CU 24-3 in the fourth quarter, steamrolling the Buffs’ defense with its run game. It’s the first time since 2010 that the Buffs lost a game in which it led by two scores at some point in the fourth quarter.

“This, to me, is one of the harder losses we’ve had all year,” senior linebacker Rick Gamboa

said.

That’s because it appeared for much of the night to be a win, and a monumental win at that.

CU has never defeated ASU in this stadium, and had never even come close, losing each of the previous four by at least 19 points. In addition to breaking that ugly streak, a Buffs win would have given them the coveted sixth win to secure bowl eligibility for the second year in a row.

Instead, ASU dominated the final 15 minutes by running for 191 yards and three touchdowns, shutting down the CU offense and even blocking a CU punt.

The blocked punt came with about 11 minutes to play and CU still clinging to a 27-20 lead. That play set up the ASU offense on the CU 40-yard line.

Seven plays later, ASU’s Demario Richard scored on a 5-yard run to tie the game at 27-27.

CU responded with a James Stefanou field goal to regain the lead, but the momentum had clearly shifted to ASU’s side. The Sun Devils scored twice in the final 5:33 to steal the win.

“You hardly ever win a game with a blocked punt,” MacIntyre said. “Statistics prove that. Especially a blocked punt on your end of the field. That was a big turn-

ing point of the game and that was a huge mistake by us.”

Had it been the only huge mistake made the Buffs, they might have been able to overcome it.

Unfortunately for the Buffs, the first quarter was just as disappointing as the fourth.

Montez made two poor throws on the opening drive, both of which would have been touchdowns. Then, senior Shay Fields dropped what would have been a 76-yard touchdown. On the first play of the second quarter, Devin Ross dropped what would have been a 44-yard touchdown.

Instead of leading 21-0, the Buffs’ early advantage was just 10-0.

“Yeah, it caught up to us,” Montez said. “Definitely caught up to us. Missed throws, dropped balls, missed assignments, all mistakes we made in the first half caught up to us.”

The Buffs kept fighting, though.

Running back Phillip Lindsay was held in check most of the game, finishing with just 80 yards on 23 carries, but he did score twice. Montez tossed a 56-yard touchdown pass to Fields. And, James Stefanou booted three field goals.

That all helped CU to three separate 10-point leads, but when it counted most, the offensive disappeared. And, so did the defense.

One of the worst rushing teams in the country, ASU racked up 381 yards on the ground, with half of those coming in the fourth quarter. Richard had 141 of his 189 rushing yards in the fourth quarter.

“They definitely wore us down,” MacIntyre said.

“There’s no doubt about it.”

“That’s part of sports. We just got to go back and work again. We got two more gold games left and we need to get them. That’s our main focus.

This one’s over. Learn from some corrections. We just need to keep finding ways to make plays.”

After each of their losses this season, the Buffs have talked about putting it in the rearview mirror and going back to work on Monday. They mentioned it again Saturday.

As the Buffs have proven this year, that’s easier said than done, and it may be even more difficult after this one.

35th Annual AISES Pow Wow celebrates culture, traditions at CSU

By Mack Beaulieu @Macknz_James

Hundreds gathered at Colorado State University Saturday to learn about and celebrate Native American Heritage Month.

From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., CSU, the American Indian Science and Education Society and the Native American Cultural Center held the 35th Annual AISES Pow Wow in the Lory Student Center Grand Ballroom.

“AISES hosts the Pow Wow not only to bring culture to the campus, but for students who are homesick. It’s a really good time to bring home here for them, especially if they can’t travel home for thanksgiving,” said Milena Castaneda, a junior social work major and ASCSU NACC senator. “And it’s also just for our heritage month to show part of our culture, part of our tradition.”

The Pow Wow started off with a Gourd Dance.

“This dance is the dance of the Red Wolf,” said Harrison Burnside, a member of the Navajo tribe. “This man that was stranded or was left behind heard this singing and drumming going on, and he crested the hill, and there was a red wolf performing this ceremony.”

Burnside said the man memorized the song.

“By the time it was over, he asked the Red Wolf, (and) what the Red Wolf said was, ‘Hey this is

yours now,” Burnside said. “Take this ceremony, and take it with you, back to your people,’” Burnside participated in the dance alongside two other performers wearing red and blue outfits.

“The red is the clash with the Mexicans, and the blue is with the clash with the United States,” Burnside said. “Then it would represent also the land. ... The yellow’s the life. The blue is the sky, and the red is the earth. So it’s mother earth, the person and the sky father.”

After the Gourd Dance, the event moved into the Grand Entry. The U.S. and Colorado flags were presented by two servicemen. They were immediately followed by members of the tribe.

After a few addresses from organizers, the event commenced with intertribal singing and dancing. There were various events to entertain the children including cake walks, dance competitions and a demonstration from the Little Shop of Physics.

Robert Smith, who is half -Sioux and half-Navajo, said education is one of the main benefits of Pow Wows.

“You go and basically teach a new generation about its culture,” Smith said. “It’s just a unique experience to actually learn a little bit about yourself and others as well, especially your ancestors.”

Ariana Aguilera, who is half

Native American, said she came to the Pow Wow because she hadn’t been to one since she was a little girl.

“I wanted to see what it was like again,” Aguilera said. “Honestly, I think it’s super important, even for all these students to even be around something like this, around Native American cultures, even if they’re not.”

Jensen Woods, a senior communication studies major, is not Native American but attended the Pow Wow to learn more about the culture.

“I’m taking an indigenous women, children and tribes class right now,” Woods said. “...It’s a very complicated history. I think it’s important to recognize that, learn about it and recognize how it reflects in today’s world.”

After the dinner that Smith said included traditional ingredients, the Pow Wow ended with an honor song, marking the close of the CSU’s 35th Annual AISES Pow Wow. “(The Pow Wow) is important because Native American history has been repressed and overlooked since the beginning of first contact,” said Ty Smith, the NACC’s director. “When you talk about how people in this country are taught of the United States, the native side and perspective is never even visited or discussed.”

Film lovers rejoice: New Lyric location finally open to public

By Sarah Ehrlich @SarahEhrlich96

Movie lovers can rejoice: The Lyric theater is officially open for business.

After a long four-year planning and building process, the Lyric movie theater can finally call 1209 N. College Ave. their newer and bigger home. They made the move from their Mountain Avenue location 11 months ago to begin construction on a bigger building.

The Lyric has been Fort Collins’s independent movie theater since 2007 and has drawn a loyal following of patrons who are happy to see the improved location. This weekend marked the first weekend of movie screenings at the new building.

“To finally be open is a huge weight off our shoulders,” Michael Putlack, general manager, said. “The old Lyric was a drivethru laundry mat before we opened it, so it’s nice to have this purpose-built space.”

Walking into the Lyric, you’ll find yourself in a large open lobby where colorful lights and chandeliers hang above your head. To the left is a full bar featuring many local brews and specialty cocktails cleverly named after cult films.

While you sip, enjoy a full menu of sweet treats and small plates. The menu features fried pickled green beans, bacon wrapped goodies and vegan chocolate mousse.

While waiting for a show time, patrons can check out the Lyric’s rebranded merchandise and local art corner or try their skill at the pinball machines loaned by Pinball Jones. Patrons can choose from Creature from the Black Lagoon, Star Trek, Star Wars and Jurassic Park-themed machines.

A long hallway will take you into one of three movie theaters: The Space, The Ship and The Tiki Lounge, complete with couches and unique décor.

“I always try to plan ahead for Lyric events because they’re always so fun,” Alison Manchester, Fort Collins resident, said.

“The whole experience here is so far so good, and I’m looking

forward to checking out the other theater rooms.”

Future events for the Lyric include their grand opening parade and party Nov. 14, as well as the anticipated Weekend Warriors Film Festival screening on Nov. 18, where teams have 48 hours to create a short film.

There is also word of a Big Lebowski-themed celebration happening in March, complete with custom Lyric bowling shirts.

“The updates are great, but the Lyric kept the flavor of their genre of movies,” said Marla Roll, a Colorado State University employee who viewed the film “Lucky” Saturday night. “I wanted to see every film shown during the previews, so it’s nice they have the bigger space to show more of them.”

Students can get in on the fun at the Lyric on Student Tuesdays, where a student ticket and a pint of Old Aggie is only $7.50.

Despite a few extensions on construction, it seems patrons are pleased with the new building that has added a bit more excitement to north College Ave. Showtimes and more information can be found at lyriccinema.com Sarah Ehrlich can be reached at entertainment@col-

FORT COLLINS LIFE

Holiday Lighting Ceremony signals beginning of winter

By Matt Smith @latvatalo

It may not be Thanksgiving yet, but the holidays are already upon us in Fort Collins.

Hundreds gathered in Old Town on Friday to usher in the holiday season with the lighting of thousands upon thousands of brilliant white lights. Stretching throughout seven blocks of the city’s busiest quarter, the beautiful display will stay up through to Valentine’s Day.

The ceremony centered around Oak Street Plaza was dotted with musical performances, hot chocolate and as many dogs as people. In the bustling ceremony, a sea of revelers counted down to the moment of illumination. With entire families packing the streets, the city was indistinguishable from Disneyland.

The Old Town Spice Shop provided complimentary hot chocolate while the Andrew Vogt Jazz Quartet played some jazzy renditions of holiday classics in

the Plaza. Just about every business was enjoying lines out the door.

A couple of students were caught completely by surprise in the celebration. On their way to get a quick bite, they found themselves in the epicenter.

“We didn’t know what was going on until (the lights) all came on,” Allison O’Connell, a freshman neuroscience student,

said.

O’Connell and Catie Parker, a junior biochemistry student, made the best of the sudden change in plans. They saw the Jazz Quartet perform at Oak Street Plaza, but not before the main attraction of the night.

“We decided that we did not really know what was going on, so we were just going to walk around and find cute dogs,” Park-

er said.

Trevor Kent, a civil engineering graduate student, enjoyed the ceremony for the first time.

“It was pretty cool; we’d never done it before,” Kent said. “I didn’t even know there was a ceremony associated with this whole thing.”

Colorado State student builds guitars from scratch

By Sarah Ehrlich @SarahEhrlich96

In terms of turning passions into successful ventures, Colorado State University students have no problem.

Sophomore economics major Alex Blackford turned his love for music into a successful hobby and a fun way to earn money. Blackford repairs and restores guitars and has recently completed building his first guitar from scratch.

Blackford’s relationship with music started in sixth grade as a percussionist for his school’s band in Grand Junction, Colo.

He started playing the guitar in eighth grade. He was lead guitarist and vocals for a reggae band in high school, and he has also played in a death metal band.

“I realized I enjoyed playing and began repairing my own guitar and eventually decided to build one,” Blackford said. “I found a piece of wood while lumberjacking for my grandfather.

Then (I) found a luthier in Grand Junction who could help me since I didn’t really know what I was doing.”

After learning more about building guitars, Blackford de-

cided to continue apprenticing for the luthier, Ryan Whitehurst, who had his own shop. The guitar that inspired Blackford’s design is the Gibson Flying V 1958, a classic rock guitar with a unique body shape.

J.D. Mattos, employee at Music Go Round, said playability and aesthetic are good things to look for in a guitar.

“You want to feel compelled to pick up a certain guitar and rock out,” Mattos said. “You want to consider how comfortable the neck is, how the strings feels. You should also pay attention to the harmonics. You know, how does it sound to you?”

The process of building a guitar from scratch is long and tedious. It begins with logging and choosing the right wood. For Blackford, it was a piece of Engelmann spruce affected by beetle kill that made an interesting design in the wood.

Trees tend to have a lot of moisture, so it is important to cure the wood, usually for about a year or two, according to Blackford. However, using a kiln can rapidly speed up the curing process. After this, it’s time to develop a design.

“I used the AutoCAD program to design the schematics of the guitar,” Blackford said. “My dad is an engineer, so we would go to his place of work after hours to work on the design. When you have the design you want, you cut it out with a handsaw.”

Woodworking is the medium used in guitar design. Blackford said the frets should be even,and the neck should attach to the body of the guitar perfectly. The final steps are adding the hardware to the guitar and putting a finish on it.

Nutrition major and Blackford’s roommate, Jace Kansgen, said he has no experience in music but enjoys watching his roommate work.

“He’s very meticulous and organized with the small details,” Kansgen said. “You can tell how passionate he is about his work and how well he knows his stuff.”

Blackford is now the repair technician at Guitar Center, where he continues to improve his craft. He hopes to build a career in economics, retire early and someday open his own guitar repair shop.

WHAT’S UP FORT COLLINS

Aggie Theater to host Puerto Rico relief concert

By Ashley Potts @11smashley

There’s not a lot going on early this week, but starting Thursday, Fort Collins will have plenty of fun events you don’t want to miss.

Thursday, Nov. 9: Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Tony Award winning Broadway musical “Cinderella” opens at the Lincoln Center. It will run four performances: Nov. 9 at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 11 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $20 to $75.

The Aggie Theatre will host FoCo4PuertoRico, a benefit show featuring Patti Fiasco, Qbala, Guerrilla Radio, Undercover Bear, DJ Gyro, Matt Mahern and special guests still to be announced.

All proceeds will benefit United for Puerto Rico, a charity sending aid to those affected by Hurricane Maria and Hurricane Irma. There will also be a silent auction benefiting Rocky Mountain Music Relief, which provides aid to musicians in the affected areas, and the GoFundMe campaign “El Pueblo de Puerto Rico Se Levanta,” a campaign within the country which helps rescue, rebuild and provide other aid to affected people and animals.

Friday, Nov. 10: Miramont Lifestyle Fitness and Maxline Brewing are teaming up for another “Boulders, Beers & Bingo” from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event is in partnership with Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition, a local non-profit aiming to protect and preserve the climbing routes in the area and exploring new routes. The event is free for gym members and $5 for non-members. The beer is included, but tips are encouraged.

The Lincoln Center will open “Contemporary Collage” at 5 p.m. The show features five artists exploring different collage techniques from digital collage to photomontage. The show emphasizes the ways assemblage is incorporated in the artistic process. The artists featured in the show are Christian Duran of Florida, Cecelia Feld of Texas, Amelia Furman of Colorado, H. Jennings Sheffield of Texas and E.K. Simmer of Wyoming. The work will be on display in the Lincoln Center Art Gallery until January 6.

Saturday, Nov. 11: The Downtown Artery will host a “Yart Sale.” The event will be held in the upstairs art gallery and starts at 10 a.m. and runs through Nov. 12 at 5 p.m. The “Yart Sale”

features over 30 artists selling their unique, homemade work for under $100.
