Fort Collins works to hire new police chief By Abby Currie @abcchic15
Since Fort Collins Police Chief John Hutto announced his resignation on April 18, the City has been in search of a new chief. According to a City of Fort Collins press release, retired Aurora Police Chief Terry Jones is currently serving as the interim chief. The resignation of Hutto in April followed two officers’ use of force. According to Kimble, the Surat case is set for trial in early 2018. “The internal investigation and Citizen Review Board have
concluded for that case,” Kimble wrote. “The case regarding an off-duty officer conducting a traffic stop is still under internal investigation.” The hiring process was delayed when the City terminated its contract with the previous firm in September, the press release said. According to the City’s Assistant HR Director Janet Miller, the contract was terminated when inaccurate information regarding the City’s hiring process was provided to a potential candidate by a representative of the previous recruiting firm. “The firm took full responsi-
bility and apologized for the miscommunication,” Miller wrote in an email to the Collegian.
HIRING TIMELINE ■ Fort Collins Police Chief re-

According to the press release, the City partnered with
KRW Associates, a public-sector executive search firm, based out of Colorado Springs, to assist with the hiring process. “KRW is assisting with executive recruitment efforts for the City’s next Chief of Police,” Miller wrote. “This includes developing a recruitment strategy and associated materials, candidate outreach and recruitment, supporting community and agency engagement and managing the selection process.” The City will repost the position in December and will review candidates in early 2018, according to the press release. see POLICE CHIEF on page 4 >>
A suspect was arrested Tuesday night by Colorado State University Police in connection with the bomb threat on the CSU campus, the department confirmed early Wednesday morning. Jonathan Copp was arrested outside of the Allycat, a coffee house near campus, late Tuesday night by CSUPD, according to CSUPD spokesperson Dell Rae Ciaravola. He is not a student or employee of the University. A bomb threat was reported Tuesday evening in the University’s library. Students were evacuated by a fire alarm around 7:30 p.m. and found out at 7:42 p.m. later that the evacuation was in relation to a bomb threat made in the building. An all-clear was issued by the CSU Police Department at 9:47 p.m. following the evacuation around 7:30 p.m. There was no device or threat found in the building. CSUPD thanked the community for noting the suspect’s whereabouts in the text alert Wednesday morning. He is in custody. Erin Douglas can be reached at editor@collegian. com.

Broadband internet, medical marijuana regulations pass in Fort Collins By Samantha Ye @samxye4
Editor’s Note: The following are the final unofficial results based on postings from the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder, current as of 12:42 a.m. Nov. 8, 2017. Fort Collins Ballot Issue 2B City-run Broadband Internet - Passed: Out of the nearly 39,000 votes cast, 57 percent of participants voted in favor of the measure that gives City Council permission to issue up to $150 million in bonds and other debts to pay for the construction of a fiber-optic network to be run by the City as a paid utility. The money would be repaid by people who subscribe to the utility at $50 for 50-megabit speed or $70 for one-gigabit speed per month. Ballot Issue 2C Medical Marijuana Regulations - Passed: By a 71 percent majority, voters gave City Council permission to amend or add provisions to the current medical marijuana laws without obtaining voter ap-
proval. Potential updates would align Fort Collins regulations with state laws involving types of ownership structures, off-premise storage facilities and medical marijuana research licenses among other rules. Larimer County Ballot Issue 1A Extending the Ranch Tax - Passed: The measure, passed by a 58 percent majority, extends the existing 0.15 percent sales tax dedicated to the construction and operations of the Larimer County Fiargrounds, known as The Ranch, for another 20 years. Ballot Issue 1B Eliminating Term Limits - Failed: Term limits for the assessor, treasurer, clerk and recorder, sheriff, and surveyor of Larimer County will not be eliminated. Nearly 70 percent of around 84,000 ballots voted against the measure. Currently, three four-year terms is the maximum number of consecutive terms those elected officials can have.

ASCSU approves funding for Rupi Kaur event By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98
Colorado State University’s student government agreed Wednesday night to ratify a bill to fund author Rupi Kaur’s visit to campus, and the impeachment committee announced that it expects to present evidence to the senate at their next meeting. Impeachment Committee expects to present evidence at next senate meeting Chief Justice Brittany Anderson announced that the “rise and report” proceedings of the impeachment procedures would tentatively occur at the next senate meeting. According to the impeachment procedures, the committee will present their findings to the senate body, and Silva and Nordstrom will be allowed to make a statement to the senate body before there is a vote. The senate will enter an executive session to deliberate following the committee’s presentation, and all nonvoting members will be asked to leave the senate chambers during the deliberation. The executive session will conclude with a majority vote from the senate, and a two-thirds vote is required to remove Silva from office. The impeachment committee only presents their findings and does not decide to impeach a member of ASCSU. Anderson said any unfortunate circumstances would prevent the committee from moving forward with the proceedings.
Police chief >> from page 1 According to Miller, the typical candidate review process consists of the following steps: review of applicants, categorization of applicants based on qualifications, additional screening by KRW, identification of a group to be brought to Fort Collins for interviews and selection. There will also be community engagement opportunities provided to the public
“We have everything set to go, but barring (an unfortunate circumstance), it should happen,” Anderson said. “I’ve learned you never know. I’m just not 100 percent comfortable guaranteeing it, just in case there is some circumstance that occurs where it could change because that could cause some issues.” Senate approves funding for Delta Xi Nu to bring Rupi Kaur to campus Director of Finance Robert Leonard presented a bill the the senate body of the Associated Students of CSU to ratify the budget to fund an event by Delta Xi Nu Multicultural Sorority. The sorority requested $13,000 from the Board for Student Organization Funding to bring Kaur, author of “Milk
and Honey,” to speak at CSU. Due to a section in the ASCSU Constitution, BSOF can approve allocations that do not exceed $10,000. Any requests that exceed the set allocation must be ratified by the senate through a bill. Leonard, who also chairs BSOF, said the board unanimously approved the budget and saw no issues with the event. Members of the senate body said that they thought the event would be great, and the bill passed with a vote of 22-0-5. Haley Candelario can be reached at news@collegian. com.
Students to volunteer at event for Puerto Rico By Austin Fleskes @Austinfleskes07
For those who are looking to not only give back to those influenced by the events in Puerto Rico while also enjoying two days of Cyclocross, beer and food, Cross of the North will be holding an event for just that. On Nov. 11 and 12, Cross of the North will be holding a cyclocross event at New Belgium Brewing in Fort Collins. Participants in the cyclocross course can expect a three kilometer course including obstacles such as sand pits, run-ups and more. For those not participating, the event offers beer, food and fun for those that attend, according to the event page.
Donations of items will also be accepted during the event, all of which will go to aid relief for those in Puerto Rico.

The third-party Novak Consulting Group conducted interviews, focus groups and surveys to develop a picture of the agency’s strengths and gaps, all of which were summarized in the report. The report identified areas of success, areas for improvement and made recommendations for positive growth. The
The event, which is sponsored by companies such as Otter Box and Target, is more than just a day of cyclocross. It also aims to raise donations for victims of the recent hurricane in Puerto Rico.

The money that is spent on the raffle goes straight to the American Red Cross to assist in the Puerto Rico effort.
Executive Staff and managers throughout the organization have been working to integrate changes in a meaningful, sustainable way, Kimble wrote in an email to the Collegian. “Some of these changes have included implementing the Character Counts Program which includes training opportunities around areas of cultural concern (i.e. inclusivity, ethics, and implicit bias training), building upon the consistency and transparency in the promotional processes and enhancing internal communication,” Kimble wrote.

Among the other volunteers at the event will be a group of Colorado State University students, representing their Group Communication class, taught by professor Beth Meyers-Bass. Meyers-Bass requires her students do some sort of volunteering in the community. This year, one of the options she gave to her students was helping out at this event. “It’s an important part of learning how to be an outside group working with an already established group,” MeyersBass said. “Never mind giving back to the community is rewarding, and I think it’s important for students to engage with the community.” Meyers-Bass added that this event has gotten quite a bit of draw in the past and has proven to be very charitable. “I think it’s always good to network out, learning how to communicate not just in a group, but one-on-one with people,” Meyers-Bass said. “I hope they see other opportunities in the community to volunteer, but also the work that they put forth is rewarding in the long run, not just for them but other people benefiting.” For those interested in attending or participating in the event, visit the Cross of the North Facebook event page to learn more.

Senator Mike Johnston talks education, affordable housing over pizza By Joe Manely @joemanely
State Sen. Mike Johnston attended a “Pizza and Politics” event to talk to students about his stances on issues such as education, the labor market, affordable housing and renewable energy, while promoting his campaign for governor in 2018. The event was held Wednesday in the Lory Student Center. The Straayer Center for Public Service Leadership hosted the event and offered free pizza to interested students. Many of the students who attended majored in political science. When Johnston entered the room, he introduced himself and shook hands with them. Sam Houghteling, program manager of the Straayer Center , said the opportunity for students is a good one. “Anytime we get an opportunity to bring someone like Mike, who has a pretty wide range of high-level experience in the public center and have him interact directly with our students, I think any of those opportunities are both good for the students as well as important opportunities for the senator to promote,” Houghteling said. As the event began, Johnston discussed his background as a public school teacher and how his experience with a former student
who could not go to college because he was undocumented pushed Johnston into politics. As a state senator, he managed to pass the ASSET bill, Colorado’s version of the DREAM Act, to support undocumented college students. A key issue Johnston discussed at the event was his “Lifetime Opportunity Promise,” a plan to support people who want to go to college or receive job retraining in exchange for providing service to the state. He explained that the service would entail conservation efforts, fire mitigation, flood prevention, assisting seniors and other charitable causes like Meals on Wheels. In response to controversial decisions from the Trump administration, such as the move to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, Johnston said a governor needs to have a role at the national level. He plans to do whatever the state can do to “help prevent negative outcomes.” In the case of DACA, Johnston suggested a plan to prevent state officers from being involved in the deportation process. Johnston took questions from the audience and further elaborated on his stances to expand affordable housing and renewable energy. He discussed methods of negotiating to use land for housing units with little taxation involved. For

Single-vehicle collision kills one man By Samantha Ye @samxye4
One man was killed in a fatal rollover crash early Wednesday morning. According to a press release from Fort Collins Police Services, the driver lost control of a white 2008 Volkswagen hatchback after swerving to avoid a center median in the 2000 block of Timberline Road. The vehicle exited the west side of the road, struck a fence and tree and rolled over. The man believed to be the driver was pronounced deceased at the scene. The Larimer County Coroner will release his identity at a later time. Passenger Jobani Mungia, 21, was cleared by medical personnel at the scene. Jesus Alejandro Morales Gutierrez,
18, suffered injuries and was transported to Medical Center of the Rockies. He was later released. Fort Collins Police were notified of the single-vehicle collision at 12:03 a.m. The Fort Collins Police CRASH Team closed Southbound Timberline Road at Caribou Drive for approximately 7 hours in order to investigate the incident, using a drone to map out the scene. They now believe speed and alcohol may have contributed to the crash, according to the press release. Anyone with information about this incident may contact Officer Drew Jurkofsky at 970416-2224 or Crime Stoppers of Larimer County at 970-2216868 or www.stopcriminals.org.

Rams for Mike eventually plan to hold meetings to organize Johnston’s supporters on campus and discuss the campaign. Johnston said he appreciated
the support from the students. “I think a lot of people who want to be involved in politics think we’re finding this a moment when there’s a real insurgence of young people who want to lead and want to lead now,” Johnston said. “So, that’s always inspiring to hear.” Joe Manely can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Homelessness Awareness Month brings Poor People’s Campaign to CSU By Joe Manely @joemanely
As a part of Homelessness Awareness Month at Colorado State University, SLiCE hosted a presentation from the Poor People’s Campaign to inform students about getting involved with fighting homelessness in Fort Collins. The presentation was held Tuesday night in the Lory Student Center. The event featured guest speakers from around the country: Willie Baptist, a Poverty Initiative scholar and the Coordinator of Poverty Scholarship and Leadership Development for the Kairos Center, Paul Boden, the Executive Director of Western of the Regional Advocacy Project and Lynn Thompson, a Fort Collins Homeless Coalition Activist. One of the focuses of the discussionwasthecriminalization of the homeless. The speakers argued the government strongly discriminated against the homeless over the last few decades, making the
homelessness issue “disappear” by dehumanizing homeless people and punishing them with laws and regulations. “People who are homeless in our community, like in communities all across America, are being targeted and excluded and criminalized just for existing,” Thompson said. “(There are) policies that we’ve seen against other groups of people in history, and homeless people are just the latest to encounter this.” The Poor People’s Campaign is currently advocating for a “Right to Rest Act” in California and Colorado. The bill would grant homeless people the protection to inhabit or rest in public spaces, among other rights. Thompson and the Fort Collins Homeless Coalition cite the passing of this bill in Colorado as one of their main goals. In the city of Fort Collins, the Homeless Coalition is working to improve life for the homeless by pressing the city council about laws that unfairly target them. Their two main projects are ending the Fort Collins camping ban and creating public
bathrooms and sources for drinking water that are available 24/7. Currently, Fort Collins does not have a single 24/7 public bathroom. The city has one public bathroom that is only available at daytime and one public drinking fountain that was provided by the FoCo Cafe in August. “(24/7 bathrooms and drinking fountains) are things we don’t have in our community right now,” Thompson said. “Even though there are some signs that we’re gonna get some of those things, we have needs that go beyond one bathroom and one drinking fountain.” The speakers encouraged students to support the Poor People’s Campaign by joining their email list. Thompson asked students to join the Homeless Coalition and to take volunteer opportunities. “Students should start to learn that homelessness is an issue that they can be getting involved with on a human rights level,” Thompson said. Nevan Mandel, a student organizer at SLiCE who helped

with the event, pointed out that there are several opportunities for students to show support for homeless people. “There are many ways to get involved,” Mandel said. “The best way is to come to the SLiCE office right here in the Lory Student Center and we have tons of volunteer opportunities
and people like myself can put students in contact with all sorts of different organizations and causes.” Joe Manely can be reached at n ews@collegian.com

Transfort named 2017 ‘Large Transit System of the Year’ By Natalia Sperry @Natalia_Sperry
The City of Fort Collins’ public transportation system, Transfort, was named “Large Transit System of the Year” at the 2017 Colorado Association of Transit Agencies/ Colorado Department of Transportation
Fall Transit Conference and Expo. CASTA, a statewide trade association for transit providers, vendors and government agencies, recognized Transfort for its 26 percent increase in ridership in 2016, as well as implementation of 365-day service and a launch of new
services intended to support the new Colorado State University on-campus stadium. Such services include game day shuttles to and from the stadium and parking accommodations for riders and the Around the HORN campus shuttle service, which are available to transport students to and from re-park lots.

Transfort Service Development Manager Timothy Wilder wrote in an email to the Collegian the award is indicative of positive change in public transportation for the Fort Collins community. “Transfort is honored to be recognized by its peers for collaboration with CSU and other partners around Game Day service, 365-day service and other system improvements,” Wilder wrote. The award recognizes city transit providers that operate more than 25 vehicles during peak periods in the morning and afternoon when transit riding is heaviest. Peak periods in Fort Collins are from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m.. to 7:00 p.m., according to the 2016 Transfort Route Profiles. Transfort also helps other regional agencies with commercial driver’s license training and testing, according to General Manager of GreeleyEvans Transit Will Jones. “As well as providing for the daily needs of the Fort Collins community and special events like CSU Game Day service, they are also a great neighbor,” Jones said in a City press release. This marks the second time in three years CASTA
has recognized Transfort for its efforts to provide safe and reliable public transportation to Northern Colorado, according to a recent press release from the City. Transfort also received the award in 2013 after the launch of the MAX system. “We are very pleased that the City and Transfort have been recognized for our dedication to public transportation,” General Manager for Transfort Kurt Ravenschlag said in a press release. “This award demonstrates our continued commitment to exceptional, customer-focused service that meets the community’s current and future transit needs.” Transfort serves a variety of transit users including adults, seniors, disabled individuals, youth, Poudre School District students, CSU students and DialA-Ride users, according to the City of Fort Collins. All Transfort fares are free for CSU students, faculty and staff with RamCards. “The award is an indication that Transfort is headed in a very positive direction with regards to addressing the public transportation needs of the community and CSU student body,” wrote Wilder.

Human Bean’s 12th annual Coffee for a Cure day donates largest amount yet By Matt Bailey @mattnes1999
The Human Bean of Northern Colorado held its 12th annual Coffee for a Cure day Oct. 20, during which all eight locations in Larimer and Weld County donated 100 percent of their sales to local cancer projects. According to a press release from Jill Maasch, an account manager at the Mantooth Marketing Company, the combined sales of Human Bean products during Coffee for a Cure day amounted to $52,463. “It was our most successful Coffee for a Cure yet,” said Lauren Sawinska, the public relations project manager for all Northern Colorado Human Bean locations. “Last year we raised around $50,000. This year it was over $52,000. Each year, Coffee for a Cure becomes increasingly more successful, and we’re grateful for our community and all of the generous people who participated this year.” With the intent of supporting local cancer patients, the Human Bean started its annual Coffee for a Cure day event in 2005, partnering with the Poudre Valley Hospital, the Medical Center of the Rockies Foundation Oncology Patient and Family Support Fund, and the Northern Colorado Medical Center Breast Cancer Fund. “The Human Bean has always been really involved in the northern Colorado community,” Sawinska said. “With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, they wanted to just do something that would help out local breast cancer and other cancer fighters. It’s been a really great way to support local cancer fighters in the community.” Coffee for a Cure day is the Human Bean of Northern Colorado’s largest annual fundraiser event. According to Sawinska, this year’s Coffee for a Cure day was organized and executed by several key people, including the Human Bean of Northern Colorado owners Frank and Kay Sherman,
Director of Operations Janae Nequette and a dedicated team of managers and baristas. The $23,339 raised by Larimer County locations will benefit the Poudre Valley Hospital and Medical Center of the Rockies Foundation Oncology Patient and Family Support Fund, and the $29,195 raised by Weld County locations will go towards the Northern Colorado Medical Center Breast Cancer Fund. According to Maasch’s press release, these two programs respectively help cancer patients pay for: insurance premiums, prescriptions, office visits, procedures, breast imaging, biopsies, treatment and basic needs to women with breast cancer. Part of the success of this year’s Coffee for a Cure day can be attributed to both traditional and newly added components of the Human Bean’s marketing campaign for the event. “The Human Bean has a very large following on Facebook as well as other platforms, and they promoted it on all of those channels and sent out several email blasts,” Sawinska said. “We sent out a press release and it was featured in the Coloradoan and on Town Square Media’s radio station’s blogs which reaches quite a few people.” For the first time, the Human Bean created a Snapchat location filter for Coffee for a Cure day. The Human Bean donated an extra dollar every time the filter was used, and the amount of money raised by the filter alone totaled to over $600. “It sounds like a bit of a drop in the bucket for a $52,000 fundraiser, but when it’s making the difference between last year’s total and this year’s total, it definitely bumped it up significantly,” Sawinska said. The Human Bean also created drawings for prize giveaways with the intention of getting the community involved and excited for the event ahead of time. Some of these prizes included branded coffee mugs, travel, mugs,

tumblers and stickers, as well as swag items. No new Human Bean locations have opened since last year’s Coffee for a Cure day, so the increase in money raised was solely based off the same eight Human Bean locations that already existed. With two new Human Bean locations planned to open near
Windsor’s Main Street. and Greeley’s St. Michael’s retail area in 2018, Sawinska is hopeful that next year’s Coffee for a Cure day will see an increase in the amount of money raised compared to this year’s fundraiser. “We’re already excited for how much money we’re going to be raising,” Sawinska said. “We’re very fortunate to be part of such
a generous community. It was a group effort for sure and we’re certainly very grateful for all of our customers who made Coffee for a Cure successful this year. We look forward to being able to serve the community even more.” Collegian reporter Matt Bailey can be reached at news@collegian. com.

Pricey National Park passes will harm attendence Spencer Reed @sbreed
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 National parks should have a cost to enter and enjoy their beauty. However, prices will now be skyrocketing, and that includes Fort Colin’s beloved Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP). The National Park Service (NPS) made the announcement late last month that they plan on exponentially raising the price to enter 17 of the most highly visited parks. According to the NPS, this is an effort to offer park visitors a better experience. On the other hand, there will be no visitors to experience the parks if they can’t afford to be there.
MAY 1, 2018 TICKET INCREASES: ■ Arches National Park ■ Bryce Canyon National Park ■ Canyonlands National Park ■ Denali National Park ■ Glacier National Park ■ Grand Canyon National Park ■ Grand Teton National Park ■ Olympic National Park ■ Sequoia & Kings Canyon
National Park ■ Yellowstone National Park ■ Yosemite National Park ■ Zion National Park The implication here is that the nation’s most prized natural locations will only be available to those who can afford it. The new price listings to enter national parks made by the NPS are undesirable to say the least-- which could give local Coloradans a gripe when deciphering whether to visit RMNP this upcoming summer. I for one, will be saving my chunk of change for something less-expensive. New entrance fees were listed in the proposal made by the park service. If the provisions are adopted,

noncommercial vehicles would begin paying $70 for park use. The current price for a noncommercial park pass is $30, so the fee would then be more than doubled. Moreover, motorcycle fees could double, and would see a price increase from $25-50. The cost for pedestrians to enter on foot would also spike; a price change from $15-30. Luckily, the price for a season pass to all national parks is not proposed to change. A season pass is listed at $80. There is a total of 17 parks that would experience the influx in entrance fee pricing. They were specifically battered by the NPS because parks such as these are considered to be “top revenue parks.” According to the parks service, these 17 national parks make the sum of 70 percent of all entrance fees throughout the U.S.
JUNE 1, 2018 TICKET INCREASES: ■ Rocky Mountain National Park ■ Acadia National Park ■ Mount Rainer National Park ■ Shenandoah National Park
One last park, Joshua Tree National Park, is expected to
change it’s entrance pricing as soon as Jan. 1 of next year. Fortunately, the jump in entrance fee pricing is proposed to last for only a five-month period every year. However, the NPS has targeted the five busiest months of the year in each respected park to implement the new rulings. It is in these five months that the park service hopes to receive a 34 percent increase in revenue that would help them make improvements to all national parks. That’s an extra $70 million based off of the $200 million the NPS made in the 2016 fiscal year. The U.S. Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, made the notion that, “targeted fee increases at some of our mostvisited parks will help ensure that they are protected and preserved, we need to have the vision to look at the future of our parks…” If targeting specific parks for more overall revenue is necessary to maintain the privilege of national parks, then so be it. However, an increase of more than double the previous cost to enter a park could likely drive people away. A public comment period already began when the proposal was made on Oct. 24, and will be open until Nov. 23. During this time, the NPS will be listening to comments
made by the public in regard to the peak-season entrance fee proposal. Citizens can post concerns to the NPS’s Planning, Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) website. Written comments can also be submitted by mail, to 1849 C Street, NW, Mail Stop: 2346 Washington, DC 20240. National park business has been gradually rising over the past couple decades. In 2000, parks saw around 286 million
visitors. In 2016 that number rose to be 330 million. This notable increase in visitors in American parks could be at risk if the NPS provisions go as planned. Spencer Reed can be reached at letters@collegian.

Kevin Spacey was the author of his own downfall Mikaela Rodenbaugh @mikarodenbaugh
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. Anthony Rapp stepped forward on Oct. 29 to describe an incident that he had with celebrity Kevin Spacey when he was 14. In response, Spacey put out a statement apologizing for any harm to Rapp, laying out the excuse that he was drunk, and later in the same statement changing the subject to come out as gay. In short succession, House of Cards announced Spacey’s suspension from the team, new accusations of sexual misconduct were levied against Spacey, many members of the LGBTQ community protested the association and the reputation of the actor had been shattered. Like others before him, in the wake of #MeToo and the allegations of Harvey Weinstein and other elites in Hollywood and the media, Spacey is guilty in the court of public opinion. And every step of the way, Spacey deserved it. One of the largest issues with Kevin Spacey’s response to the allegations was his decision to turn it around into something about him by coming out as gay. Not only was his wording about choice problematic, but the larger issue with this bait and switch style response was the way it painted a picture of the LGBTQ community. Given the broader context of historical stereotyping that gay people are synonymous with predators, this statement was particularly damaging because Spacey chose a moment he was accused of sexual behavior towards a minor as a moment to out himself as gay. In response several famous voices came forward. But in the midst of fans finding out that Kevin Spacey’s real-life behavior is actually more like the behavior of the fictional character he plays on House of Cards, Frank Underwood, some good has come of the fallout. Never before in my life have I witnessed a climate in which victims of sexual abuse have been so candid, so
encouraged, and so accepted to share their stories as I have in recent times. Yet, there is still a long way to go. Victim blaming is still happening, but I am heartily encouraged to see the amount of times that the public has decided to believe victims, instead of rushing to discredit them. A great example of this changing response is in the Old Vic theatre’s response to the Spacey scandal: “Whilst we are not currently in a position to comment on specifics of what may have taken place in the past, we want to re-emphasize that anyone who has concerns about this matter should come forward and share this with us on confidential@ oldvictheatre.com.” This statement is a massive step forward as it showcases the new energy and lengths that institutions are going to in order to help victims get resources and to believe victims when they come forward. Given the rarity of false allegations of sexual assault, there are signs in the wake of conversations like #MeToo, many are ready to step forward and join a broader conversation about the historically silent reality of sex abuse.
“Whilst we are not currently in a position to comment on specifics of what may have taken place in the past, we want to re-emphasise that anyone who has concerns about this matter should come forward and share this with us on confidential@ oldvictheatre.com.” OLD VIC THEATRE
New movements are also being born out of this cultural awakening to rape culture. In France for example, the movement #OutYourPig has stemmed from the #MeToo conversation as a new way to hold abusers accountable for their sexual abuse, finally. Ultimately, even as a former fan of Spacey’s work, it is important to hold him accountable for his abusive behavior. At some point, we have to bury our heroes, and accept that those who
transgress these boundaries do not always look like villains, they look like everyone else. While perhaps Spacey cannot be held accountable to
the fullest extent of the law, the people have every right to out him as what he is—not as a gay man, but as a perpetrator of sexual misconduct.

Recent election shows that student voters are stifled Tatiana ParafiniukTalesnik @tatianasophiapt
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. College students don’t vote – it’s true. But I don’t think that’s random. If the City of Fort Collins wanted the student vote, they’d put ballot boxes on campus. On Tuesday’s election many students didn’t make it to the ballot box. Did some not vote because they’re lazy? Yeah, I know some of those students. Did some not vote because they don’t care? Yeah, there’s some of those students too. But, the student vote is intentionally stifled. After Tuesday’s Larimer County Coordinated Election I heard classmates and coworkers full of shame – they hadn’t voted. I find it interesting that the ballot boxes are inconveniently located for most students. The boxes were at Larimer county courthouse, the Loveland vehicle licensing branch office, the Estes park vehicle licensing branch office, some King Soopers, and Safeway, but nothing on campus. None of these locations are within walking distance from campus. Voters do have the opportunity to mail in their ballots, but because students are constantly moving, it’s unlikely that students’ voter registration is up to date. It feels odd to me that there
are not ballot boxes on campus. At Colorado State University, more than 5,000 students live on campus. It’s a huge concentration of busy and car-less people. In last spring’s municipal election, the precincts that are on CSU’s campus had a voter turnout of only around 6 percent. It’s true that municipal elections have a significantly lower voter turn-out than fall elections, but the campus’ 6 percent turnout is significantly lower than the City’s average 28 percent turnout. The percent turnout is based off of registered voters, so I’m not willing to buy the idea that students are simply uninterested in voting – they’re registered. I also find it interesting that there weren’t any politicians on campus leading up to the election. Perhaps politicians and campaigners find college campuses to be a lost cause, but I think it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you don’t focus on students because you don’t anticipate they’re going to vote, then they probably won’t vote. I don’t imagine local politicians gather in a room and rub their hands together to conspire and connive over plans to stifle student votes – but I am convinced that local politicians have not concerned themselves with student vote. That’s concerning to me, it should be concerning to you too. As long as local politicians and campaigns disenfranchise student voters by not providing ballot boxes, information or engagement, the student voice will continue to go unheard.

CROSS COUNTRY
No. 8 CSU men’s cross country prepares for Mountain Regional By Mamadou Blade @mamadoublade62
The Colorado State men’s cross country team is looking to continue its fairy tale season this week at the NCAA Mountain Regional in Logan, Utah. The Rams are coming off a stellar performance at the Mountain West Championships where they placed first behind strong performances from Jerrell Mock and Cole Rockhold, who finished first and second, respectively. “It gave us a lot of confidence,” Rockhold said. “We had several guys who ran pretty well and going into the regional meet we think we’re in a pretty good spot. We have enough points to qualify for nationals so we’re sitting pretty going into regionals, looking at it as a good test just to see where we stack up against the No. 1 and No. 5 team.” The Rams are currently No. 8 in the most recent USTFCCCA National Coaches’ Poll, rising ten spots from their preseason ranking. This makes the Rams the highest ranked team in the Mountain West and ties the highest ranking in program history. Since the third week of the 2003 season, CSU has been ranked for 36 consecutive regular season polls, all under head coach Art Siemers. Despite pacing the MW, CSU still trails three teams in the Mountain Region. Northern Arizona (No. 1), BYU (No. 2) and
Colorado (No. 5) all sit ahead of CSU in the national rankings, with Northern Arizona and BYU flip-flopping in regional rankings. “That was a big goal for us, but obviously what’s important for us now is moving up in the NCAA,” Mock said. “So if we can put on a good show at regionals and really put everything we have out there at nationals, I think we’ll out-perform what were ranked to do or predicted to do.” A native of Logan, Utah, Mock has the luxury of running in his home town this weekend. The Rams will be looking for him to replicate his performance from the MW Championships where he earned his second consecutive individual MW title. “It was really exciting to be able to pull it off,” Mock said. “For the team to get our first ever title, that was a goal we’ve had since my freshman year and to do it in my last year and have everything come together was really exciting.” The Rams posted 31 points in the MW Championship and are looking to either match or improve upon that performance this weekend. “A huge goal for us was to win a championship because we’ve got a lot of track & field banners up, but we didn’t have any men’s cross country,” head coach Art Siemers said. The men’s team has already qualified for the 2017 NCAA
Division I Cross Country Championships. The focus for them right now is having a good outing in the Mountain Regional in hopes of moving up in the rankings. “We’re running our first 10k of the year so we’re probably going to start off a little conservative and try to move up in the second half of the race and try to stay healthy for nationals,” Siemers said. The competition in the Mountain Region has been hefty this year, with as many as seven teams capable of qualifying for the NCAA Championships. Given that they have already clinched a spot in the next round of competition, the Rams will aim to escape Logan with a clean slate of health and prepare for the week ahead. “Because our region did so well this year, we have about seven teams that should go (to the NCAA Championships),” Siemers said. “We want to do well there, but our main focus is a week later.” “We’re always wanting more,” Rockhold said. “This is the best the team’s ever been ranked this late in the season so we just really want to keep improving.” The Mountain Regional is slated to take place Nov 10. at Utah State’s Steve and Dona Reeder Cross Country Course in Logan, Utah.

VOLLEYBALL
Three players sign with Rams in early signing period By Austin White @ajwrules44
Colorado State volleyball started to introduce the next generation of players Wednesday with three signees of National Letters of Intent. Two of the players are outside hitters and the third is a setter, all hailing from the West Coast. Jacqueline Van Liefde, an outside hitter from Eastlake High School in Chula Vista, Calif., penned the first letter of intent. As a freshman, Van Liefde received SecondTeam All-League honors and improved that in her sophomore and junior years by reaching First-Team All-League and being named Co-MVP both years. The welcoming nature of Fort Collins is what pushed Van Liefde to put pen to paper. “I am attracted to the beauty of Fort Collins and the active community of people,” Van Liefde said in a statement. “Everyone was so welcoming and I really felt at home.” “She is an athletic outside hitter that will need some development, but is really physical,” head coach Tom Hilbert added. “She will be somebody that we will develop and will eventually be very powerful and good for us.” The Rams will also add on Kava Durr, a 6-foot-1 middle blocker from Emerald Ridge High School in South Hill, Wash. She was recently named as an Under Armour Girls High School All-America Honorable Mention. Durr has a career .302 hitting percentage, including a .311 mark this season, the best of her high school career. She has 389 kills on the season as her team is about to start the trek through the 4A Washington volleyball state tournament, the highest division in Washington high school sports. Durr’s 55 total blocks lead the Jaguars this season and she has totaled 133 blocks in her high school career. “I chose CSU because of the focus on the student athlete succeeding in the classroom and on the court,” Durr said in a statement. “I also liked the culture of the volleyball team. They are close to each other. They push each other to compete and work toward their common goal.” “Kava is very athletic and has a really powerful arm,” Hilbert said. “She will have a good chance at starting for us right away and make an impact.”

The third 2018 member is setter Ciera Zimmerman from Auburn Riverside High School in Auburn, Wash. The team captain and club teammate of Durr is also currently leading her team towards their 4A state playoff run beginning Friday. The Ravens are the No. 1 team in the state. CSU already features a strong setter in sophomore Katie Oleksak, who was the Mountain West Freshman of the Year last year and won the MW Offensive Player of the Week award on Monday. However, the only other listed setter on the Rams’ roster is freshman Jenna Heinemeyer, but she is listed first as a defensive specialist. Zimmerman could be the replacement Hilbert is looking for once Oleksak moves on from the program. This year’s freshman class featured three defensive specialists and one middle blocker as Hilbert wanted to improve on the defensive aspect of the team. The Rams will lose senior defensive specialist McKenna Thornlow, so bringing in three players of the same spot filled a soon to be needed role. The same goes for this year with the signing of Van Liefde and Durr as CSU is set to lose two of their three top outside hitters in Jasmine Hanna and Sanja Cizmic. Despite playing as a middle blocker in high school, Durr looks like she will be making the switch to outside based off the statement by Hilbert. Wednesday marked the beginning of the early signing period for most collegiate sports and it runs until Nov. 15. The actual National Signing Day for volleyball and most sports is not until April 11, 2018. .Austin White can be reached at sports@collegian.com

Suyasri Mike Bobo is the right leader for CSU football leads in tournament Justin Michael
@JustinTMichael
The goal for Colorado State football this season was simple: win the Mountain West Conference for the first time since 2002. After starting 4-0 in conference play and winning three of those contests on the road, the Rams found themselves in the driver’s seat for the first time in well over a decade. But back-toback losses to Air Force and Wyoming have CSU on the outside looking in. Although not statistically impossible, with a chance at the title likely no longer in the mix, many Ram fans are questioning whether head coach Mike Bobo is still the right man for the job. To this, my only response is relax and take a realistic look in the mirror. Does Bobo deserve criticism? Absolutely. This
is a team that had a very realistic chance at playing in and even potentially hosting the conference championship on Dec. 2. No matter what bowl the Rams ultimately end up in, there definitely will be lingering questions of what if. Factoring in that he also currently owns a record of 2-12 against Air Force, Boise State, Colorado and Wyoming, there are legitimate reasons for why the CSU faithful are feeling uneasy in Bobo’s third year as head coach. That being said, the notion that Bobo is somehow a failure as the leader of this program and should be replaced is absolutely insane for multiple reasons. Stating the obvious, losing a second coach in five years would be devastating for a program trying to establish itself with the elite schools in college football. It also completely overlooks the positive impact that Bobo has had on CSU football as a whole. Sure, Bobo is one of the best recruiters to ever step foot on campus. More importantly
though, Bobo has completely changed the culture of the program. Through the highs and lows of this season, the one thing that has stayed consistent is the maturity level of the players. When things were good and the team was on a roll, the players were excited but consistently acknowledged that they were far from accomplishing the ultimate goal. In the moments after losing tough games to Colorado or Wyoming, the players did not make excuses and owned up to missed opportunities in the contest. What’s more, they handled the situations with poise and showed respect to the media members that were prodding them for information on their recent setbacks. It may seem simple, but these are the small signs of a well-coached program and proves the type of impact Bobo’s staff is having on the team, both on and off the field. Obviously winning ballgames has been and will always be the ultimate goal, so
if CSU does not start to perform better in primetime moments, there may come a time down the line where Bobo’s fit with the program would need to be evaluated. But when so much weight is put on individual games, it is often easy to overlook the good. The truth is that life is much different as a G5 program and the Rams are not that far removed from the days of 3-9 and zero bowl appearances. So before CSU fans run a great coach out of town, consider the Rams’ bleak history as a football program and think about what kind of man you want representing this university. I wrote earlier this season that CSU should lock down Bobo with a contract extension. Roughly two months later, I am saying the same thing. The grass is not always greener, Ram fans.

Playing at the Poppy Hills Golf Course in a tournament hosted by Saint Mary’s College, the Colorado State men’s golf team posted an up-and-down performance that culminated in a third-place finish. The Rams got off to a fast start on the first day of the tournament, but had to fight their way back after a poor second round. The strong showing on the final day of the three-day tournament was a group effort, lead by freshman Parathakorn Suyasri. Suyasri started the tournament hot and tied for the lead after posting a 4-under 67 in the first round. It was the Rams’ first tournament in almost four weeks, but Suyasri was less then a week removed from an appearance in the Asian-Pacific Amatuer. Though the team finished the day tied for second with Stanford University at 1-under 283, only Suyasri finished under par. “It was a great overall team effort today,” head coach Christian Newton said. “I thought we could be rusty after a big break since our last competition, but the guys looked sharp.” Most of the scores improved for CSU on day two, but Suyasri shot a 73 to finish six shots worse than his opening round. However, junior Jake Staiano provided a balancing act, hitting par after shooting 6-over the day before. Overall, the Rams lost some ground on the second day, but their competition looked much sharper as a unit. USC roared into the lead with a 16-under 268, while Stanford pulled into second with an 11-under 273. CSU finished the day in fifth place after posting a 2-over 286. The team came together on the last day of the tournament, though, as three players posted their best score. Suyasri returned to form with a 68 and four Rams finished under par for the round. Senior Colton Yates brought out his veteran leadership and posted a 5-under 66 after shooting over par in his first two rounds. Junior AJ Ott recorded his best round with a 68 and Staiano continued to improve with a 69. CSU finished 12-under to move past BYU and San Francisco on the final day of the tournament. Still, no team approached USC and Stanford who finished 28-under and 22-under, respectively. CSU won’t play again until the National Invitation Tournament on Feb. 25.

Former All-Star pitcher Roy Halladay dies in small-plane crash By Patrick Saunders The Denver Post
Two-time Cy Young Award winning pitcher Roy Halladay, a Denver native, died Tuesday when his plane crashed in the Gulf of Mexico. He was 40 years old. According to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office, who confirmed Halladay’s death, his ICON A5 light sport aircraft crashed into the Gulf at about 1 p.m. ET. Halladay was the only passenger. According to the sheriff’s office, the plane plunged into water that was 6 feet deep. Halladay was a 1995 graduate of Arvada West High School and one of the best baseball players the state of Colorado has ever produced. He was drafted directly out of high school by the Toronto Blue Jays with the 17th overall pick of the first round. He was inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame in 2015. Halladay had recently posted pictures and videos of himself flying his new ICON A5 light-sport aircraft on his Twitter account: @ RoyHalladay. Halladay was a former eighttime all-star pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays (1998-2009) and the Philadelphia Phillies (2010-2013). He won the Cy Young Award in 2003 and 2010. He is considered a likely Hall of Famer. Halladay finished his career with a 203-105 record and a 3.38 ERA.
In 2010, the right-hander pitched the second no-hitter in postseason history, leading Philadelphia over Cincinnati 4-0 in the teams’ division series opener at Citizens Bank Park. He joined the New York Yankees’ Don Larsen, who threw a perfect game against the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1956 World Series, as the only pitchers to throw postseason no-hitters. Earlier that season, in late May, he threw a perfect game against the Florida Marlins. That season showed just how great a pitcher Halladay had become, longtime Cherry Creek coach Marc Johnson said at the time. “He’s not only the standard in Colorado, he’s pretty much the standard in baseball,” said Johnson, who scouted for numerous big-league organizations. “He’s the guy. He’s the one you’re trying to become. “He’s taken serious steps toward the Hall of Fame. It’s going to be hard to keep him out. That was a very, very impressive performance, one that Denver should be very proud of.” Halladay is survived by his wife, Brandy, and their two children, Ryan and Braden. “We are numb over the very tragic news about Roy Halladay’s untimely death,” the Phillies said in a statement. “There are no words to describe the sadness that the entire Phillies family is feeling
over the loss of one of the most respected human beings to ever play the game. It is with the heaviest of hearts that we pass along our condolences to Brandy, Ryan and Braden.” Halladay signed a one-day contract with Toronto in December 2013 so he could retire as a member of the Blue Jays, the team with which he spent the first 12 years of his career. “The Toronto Blue Jays organization is overcome by grief with the tragic loss of one of the franchise’s greatest and most respected players, but even better human being,” the Blue Jays said in a statement. Tony Clark, the executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, said: “Our hearts are broken. Roy Halladay was not just one of the greatest competitors, but was also among the best men in our generation of players. “Our paths crossed many times during our careers and I can tell you he was among the toughest pitchers I ever faced. But while he never gave in on the mound, he was known in both leagues as an outstanding teammate, a guy who would go out of his way to help other players. Our prayers go out to his wife Brandy and their children Ryan and Braden.” Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

94 years of history at The Diversity House By Sarah Ehrlich @sarahehrlich
The Colorado State University campus has endured major change throughout the years, but one stood strong since 1923. The Diversity House has been home to many things benefitting culture at CSU before currently serving as the Office of the Vice President for Diversity. “When people visit us here, it changes their energy,” said Dr. Oscar Felix Associate Vice President for Diversity “It can be like a retreat from the bustling, busy campus. It serves as a place for the community to have discussions on how to support each other.” In 1923, alumna Claire F. Wolfer, a Fort Collins banker hired Denver based architect Edwin Francis to design the colonial woodframed house for him and his family. The house boasts two stories, four bathrooms, many bedrooms and a large backyard. In 1946, Colorado A&M purchased the house and surrounding 75 acres to use for expansion of the college. That year, President Roy M. Green and his family moved in and the house was officially dedicated as “Greenhaven Farm” during the commencement ceremonies in June. From this time on, the building housed the next three college presidents and their families, and served as the “Bull Farm,” complete with horse stables and pastures. “Dr. Isaac E. Newsom was the next to live in the house during his short stint as president in 1948,” said historical researcher Gordon “Hap” Hazard of the Archives
and Special Collections. “After that, William E. Morgan and his family lived in the house for the next twenty years. They were quite social people and they hosted a lot of dinner parties and house guests.” According to Hazard’s research, the Morgan family lived in the Northern Hotel downtown while they waited for new furniture and appliances to arrive from Paris since Newsom took what was in the house. During the postwar era, appliances such as ovens or refrigerators were difficult to acquire. After Morgan’s retirement in 1969, the house underwent renovations to accommodate a young president Adrian Ray Chamberlain. The garage was renovated into a family room along with some porch redesign. The surrounding acres of the house were sold and used to build fraternity and sorority houses before the renovation. Chamberlain was the last president to live in the house after the University decided to provide future presidents with a stipend to find their own living quarters. They began using the house for University offices. In 1979, the house began a new sense of place at CSU. It housed the offices for the Alumni Development Center and CSU Foundation for the next 29 years. The house remained in good condition until one night in 1984. A driver who failed to stop at a light on Laurel and Shields smashed their car into the front wall of the house. Luckily, the damage was repaired. Not so luckily, the same type of accident happened in 2000 when a hit and run driver hit the same

part of the house, causing $15,000 in damage. In 2008, the house fulfilled a new purpose when it became the Office of Conference Services. In 2011, there was a plan to tear the house down to make room for parking but it fell through when the University decided it should remain. In 2014, employees of the office for the Vice President of Diversity conducted major design renovations that included exterior paint,
accessible training space, and restoration of entryway arch, upgraded bathrooms, floors and kitchen. “It’s just a nice blend of functional yet homey décor for a comforting feel,” said Jan Marquette, accounting technician for the Office of Diversity. “This house has been through a lot of iterations, and now ours is totally fresh and different.” Walking into the house, people can feel a pleasant contrast between past and
present, as modern art and colors hang on the 94-year-old walls. The Diversity House has perhaps the most change-filled history of any building on the CSU campus and continues to serve a unique purpose.

Student releases lo-fi hip-hop album By Miranda Moses @mirandasrad
There are people working for put Fort Collins on the map for hip-hop, and it sounds like we’re in good hands. Sophomore Colorado State University student Tyler Hubert, soon to be legally Titamus Hubert, loves fashion and music. After performing 11 shows in the past year --- one of which he performed with Skippa Da Flippa, a Migos affiliate --- and another in which he headlined at The Downtown Artery, it is clear that Hubert’s passion to create is earning him a reputation in the Fort Collins hiphop community. The come up, though, was not easy. During his childhood, Hubert bared a speech impediment that caused him not to speak for several years and undergo speech therapy. This, combined with a fashion sense that had not yet developed, according to Hubert, caused the fashion major to succumb to bullying during his elementary and middle school years. He began to utilize spoken word poetry as an outlet, and when high school rolled around, Hubert found himself making friends and creating a foundation for his passions. “In high school, I was speaking better, so I started putting beats behind my spoken word poetry and started dressing better,” Hubert said. “I got to this point where I was going to prove my old self wrong, so I started focusing on rap music, which is heavily lyrical, and fashion.” Academically, Hubert is working towards a degree to become a stylist in the realm of merchandising, in which he will style artists for music videos, something he possesses experience in, and style “highvalue” people. Musically, Titamus just finished his album, “Visions of Love,” which premiered on Oct. 20 before his headlining performance at The Artery. Sophomore journalism major Max Arellano is another Fort Collins rapper under the name Mystic I. Arellano is coming up on his fifth year of making music, and according to Hubert, musically collaborating with Arellano freshmen year when the two artists lived in Newsom helped drive him to pursue music even further. “Visions of Love is passionate,” Arellano said, “I think his sound and beat selection is different from the other sounds I have heard recently. He has bars, and that is what separates him.” The album includes 12 tracks heavily centered on the theme of love, what love means, and how it
is interpreted. Hubert described his album as lo-fi hip-hop with a lot of acoustic elements, and it is a piece of work more catered to listening through headphones than speakers and one that you would not necessarily listen to around people. “It is more of a by-yourself, inyour-room kinda music,” Hubert said. “Visions of Love is a concept album. It goes through the different stages of a persons mind, at least in my mind ... The majority of the songs are personal, like you want to just listen to the lyrics kind of songs.” The album does include what Hubert describes as “show songs,” or songs that he would feel comfortable playing in a live show that he believes would get a good crowd response. Songs off the album that fall under this category include: “L.O.V.E.,” “Vibe With You” and “Liquor and Lean (Outro).” Hubert labels these songs as as show songs due to their pace and recognizable chorus, and rightfully so because during his Artery performance, Hubert found that many of the 200-plus people who attended were able to sing and rap along to songs from his album. Instances like this that show the scope of his album’s impact are surreal for Hubert. “When the album first went live for pre-order, it was one of the craziest feelings I have ever had,” Hubert said. “I was on my Apple music and just searched up my name, and it said, ‘12 song album, would you like to preorder?’ and I was like ‘Yes, I would. This is amazing, this is such a cool feeling.” But even with the success, Hubert refuses to let his accomplishments make him stagnant. “Especially when you have 200-plus people singing along to your songs, it is super easy to be like, ‘This is it,’” Hubert said. “But, if you think this is it, you will be content and you will feel okay with what you are putting out, and I feel like you should never be like, ‘This is all I need.’ That just brings people to not work hard.” Despite the intention of giving himself a break, Hubert found himself working on a new project the day after “Visions of Love” was released. “He keeps me inspired to keep making music,” Arellano said. “His work ethic is crazy. He just works hard to get the things he wants.” The new project is called the “I Love To Watch EP” and caters to the trap culture of Fort Collins. Hubert recognizes that Colorado, and especially Fort Collins, is not typically a place someone would associate with hip-hop culture,
but said he has personally noticed a community of incredible respect towards hip-hop and hip-hop culture. “How I talk about it with my team, at least when we are kind of feeling low, is that Fort Collins loves rap, maybe EDM a little bit more, but rap is huge,” Hubert said. “But they do not have anyone to represent them. There is no big Colorado rapper or Fort Collins rapper. Colorado is just due for someone to represent them, and with how Colorado treats rap music, it could be the next hub.” Hubert is not the only one who thinks this way either. Dawson Canby, another Fort Collins rapper, and the rest of his group, Supa Squidds, opened for Hubert on the night of his Artery performance. “We have not really collaborated yet, but we both want to see each other do well, and see the vision in each other’s music,” Canby said. “I think we both have the same vision of putting Colorado on the map for its good music scene.” According to the rappers, it is only a matter of time. “The water is boiling,” said Hubert. “The top is about to pop off.” Miranda Moses can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

ALEC REVIEWS MUSIC
We Came As Romans expand sound with ‘Cold Like War’ By Alec Erickson @CTV_Ace
With a career spanning a dozen years, the only thing left to do is grow. For We Came As Romans, they are solidly cemented as one of the frontrunners in the Metalcore and post-hardcore scenes. Each album the outfit has released is different enough from the others because it adds a certain level of nuance to listening to the band’s discography. The band does not ever get too comfortable making music, as they are always changing. With a new label, their latest release “Cold Like War” is a continuation of their growth to this point. From Troy, Michigan the post-hardcore band initially formed in 2005. Forming initially while most the members were in high school as The Emergency, it was not until some lineup changes and a year later did the band become We Came As Romans. The band’s debut album “To Plant a Seed” was not released until 2009. By that time, the band had gone through even more changes in the lineup. The only remaining founders of the band are Joshua Moore and Dave Stephens. Since the release of their debut, the band found a relatively strong fan base early on and each release such
as “Understanding What We’ve Grown to Be” and “Tracing Back Roots” and their self-titled album all landing high up on the U.S. charts. Things are nowhere near slowing down, especially with the release of their fifth studio album “Cold Like War.”
BAND INFO ■ The band has seven former
members and currently has six in its lineup. ■ Their album “Tracing Back Roots” was their highest charting record, peaking at No.8 in the states. ■ The band has only released two extended plays, both back in 2008. “Cold Like War” is a 10-track record that clocks in at around 40 minutes in length. From front to back this is a hardcore record with not that much filler. While there is a lot of anger and passion in many tracks, We Came As Romans are not afraid to experiment with more synths and slow things down on a few tracks when it feels right. This is a record that feels like it has been a long time in the making and it really reflects when you listen to
it.
Musically, breakdowns are the name of the game when it comes down to it on “Cold Like War.” Starting us off are tracks like “Vultures with Clipped Wings” and “Cold Like War,” which really open with these massive guitar riffs, standout melodies and some more orchestral layers here and there. Overall, things start strong and only build up from there as this is a record that does not drag its feet for a moment. Tracks like “Lost in the Moment” and “Promise Me” serve as these energetic yet more somber tracks that really try to evoke emotion with progression of the layers that are mixed in. When things slow down on tracks like “Learning to Survive,” it is with a purpose and does not seem out of place, which is the most important aspect. Everything about this record seems to be tailored exactly how the band wants it to be and it works, as it shows how much they have grown out of that raw and rough stage when they released “To Plant a Seed.” Lyrically, this is where We Came As Romans have not changed a whole lot. There is a lot more balance on this record between clean and unclean vocals, but they are still singing about hope, brotherhood and getting over adversity. This record seems to focus more on conflict,
Alec Reviews music ILLUSTRATION BY SAM SHEPARDSON COLLEGIAN
whether that is the conflict between love and hate, anger to sadness or any other juxtaposed topic. Songs like “Two Hands” focus more on relationships and the struggles that come when it is toxic, while songs like “Wasted Age” deal with coming to terms with age. There are a lot of things that that are handled a bit more gracefully than one might assume on a hardcore album when it comes down to it. We Came As Romans have always been able to tackle harder subjects on their records and “Cold Like War” is no different than the rest. Should you listen to it? Yes!
There are few post-hardcore records that will leave you wanting more after your first listen through and “Cold Like War” is one of those few. We hear how We Came as Romans’ constant adaption to new styles of music make things refreshing, energetic and fun to listen to and that is what happens on their fifth album. You will be hard pressed to find something you do not like on “Cold Like War” and you certainly will find something to relate to. Alec Erickson can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.
7 best, most overlooked album title tracks MUSIC
By Jonny Rhein @jonnyrhein
A title track can define an album. They come in many forms: the intro, the outro, instrumental, hidden within the song, or not even mentioned in the song itself. One thing they all have in common is that they stand out. The artist chose to attach the name of the album to the song because it has some importance that the other tracks do not possess. Radiohead - “Kid A” The 2000 album “Kid A” defined Radiohead as the reputable experimental band that they are known for today. The raindrop-like drums on the title track compliment the lullaby piano intro. Thom Yorke’s robotic vocals at times make it nearly impossible to understand his words. The drums pick up as if the rain gets heavier and Yorke’s vocals ironically become clear. “Kid A” does not remotely sound like any other song on the album, but it ties together the overall dismal tone of the album. Television - “Marquee Moon”
The 11 mintute title track “Marquee Moon” may be the most epic title track ever. The powerful opening lines, “I remember how the darkness doubled. I recall lightening struck itself,” are enough to realize that “Marquee Moon” does not mess around. The infamous guitar solo lasts longer than almost every other track on the album. Just when you think the song has ended, the drums kick in and it goes right back to where it began. The Beach Boys - “Pet Sounds” “Pet Sounds” embodies everything we love about The Beach Boys most acclaimed album. The song starts with quirky, unconventional percussion and blossoms into a borderline psychedelic instrumental track that could only come from Brian Wilson’s ingenious mind. The horn section comes in and transforms the song into something truly alluring and unexpected. “Pet Sounds” is placed toward the end of the album, but the music sounds like a huge party that nobody wants to leave.
Neil Young - “After the Gold Rush” Young’s harmonies and acoustic guitar dominate the album, but the song “After the Gold Rush” takes a different route. With only a piano, a French horn segment and Young’s haunting voice, Young chose this as the title track with no utterance of the title anywhere in the song. The song is straightforward and made up of three verses and three unique refrains. The simple piano is careful not to outshine Neil’s cryptic message, whatever that may be. Dirty Projectors - “Useful Chamber” from “Bitte Orca” “Useful Chamber” may not be the title of the album, but frontman Dave Longstreth repeats “bitte orca” in the chorus making it the album’s unofficial title track. “Useful Chamber” consists of several different themes that Longstreth wove together to create the longest and most unique track on the album. It builds until the guitars drop out, leaving only a simple beat, a consistent bass note and three powerful female vocalists harmonizing the chord
progression of the intro. Wilco - “Theologians” from “A Ghost is Born” Another unofficial title track, “Theologians” shines light through the overcast feel of Wilco’s “A Ghost is Born.” The song is perfectly placed after some of Wilco’s darkest songs including “At Least That’s What You Said” and “Spiders (Kidsmoke)” in which Jeff Tweedy uses his guitar emulate the feeling of having a panic attack.
LINK TO SPOTIFY PLAYLIST
As the chord progression descends at the climax, the song somehow sounds uplifting as Tweedy sings, “No one’s ever gonna take my life from me. I’ll lay it down, a ghost is born.” Paul Simon - “The Rhythm of the Saints” Simon saved the title track for last on “The Rhythm of the Saints.” The Brazilian percussion drives the song, the bass creeps in the mix and a guitar riff quietly comes and goes. Nonetheless, the simplicity makes it the strongest song on the album. The title of the song refers to the South African and South American rhythm that Simon holds so closely to his heart. After the first chorus, Simon steps back to let the percussionists ride it out for a while. Every song proceeding “The Rhythm of the Saints” was meant to set the listener up for this moment at the end of the album. Check out the Collegian Spotify playlist here.

Odell Brewery collaborates with Aloha Coffee and Grill wants you to feel like family Silver Grill for local holiday tradition By Ty Davis @tydavisACW
When you walk into Aloha Coffee and Grill, loud reggae and tropical music play over the speakers. Surfing is perpetually on the TV and the whole restaurant is bathed in bright yellow and blue. All of this was on par with what you expect from a Hawaiian restaurant.
ALOHA COFFEE AND GRILL ■ Location
822 S. College Ave. ■ Hours 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday
On the left main wall there is a whole gallery of photos and a small wooden decoration that reads “Ohana,” which means family. Featured in the pictures are the daughters, brother, wife and parents of Aloha Coffee and Grill’s owner, Jason Stolberg. A Hawaiian map is painted on the wall. “Because we have family on all the islands,” Stolberg said. Stolberg comes from Kaneohe on “the windward side of Oahu.” Before moving to Colorado and attending Colorado State University, he had a café in Hawaii. He learned to cook from his family, particularly his father and grandfather. “You know you get a choice, you’re either indoors or outdoors,” Stolberg said. “So if you’re outdoors, you were raking up the yard or mowing. If you’re indoors,

you were cleaning or cooking, so I choose the cooking part.” For Thanksgiving, Stolberg’s family would have about 55 or 75 people over, he said. “That’s always been my life, my family always fed everybody,” Stolberg said. “We always had really big parties during holidays and stuff with neighbors and friends.” With the photos, the simple aesthetics and the friendly atmosphere, Stolberg wants the restaurant to have a homely environment, he said. “We’re obviously trying to be really casual and friendly and open to everyone,” Stolberg said. “If you can make it in here to eat we’re happy to have you.” The meals have large portion sizes. The menu consists of recipes entirely from Stolberg and his wife’s families. It features classic Hawaiian recipes like chicken katsu, kalua pig and mochi. The spacious room and simple furniture make it feel like a family kitchen. Tyler Schump is from Hawaii and has worked for the cafe for the past two years. For him, it has become home. “I see families come in all the time,” said Tyler Stevens, one of the cafe’s employees. “The Hawaiians that come here, I’ve seen some almost in tears, just happy to get a piece of home. They’ll bring their families here, you’ll see the dad or someone pick up a ukulele off the wall and start playing it, everyone just hangs out.” Ty Davis can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com

Every year, Odell Brewing Company and the Silver Grill Cafe collaborates to make a cinnamon bun inspired brown ale called CinnsationAle. The beer has become a sweet local tradition. Silver Grill Cafe co-owner Heather Beckley said the collaboration started six years ago. “I truly think it’s more of a collaboration thing, a local thing,” Heather Beckley said.“I don’t think they see any extra income coming in from CinnsationAle. We’re just two local businesses working together and kind of coming up with a fun fall event.”
Silver Grill Cafe coowner Ian Beckley said it’s not a big financial boom for either establishment, but the marketing is nice, and they look forward to the release party every year. “It’s just good marketing, and it’s a good kind of feelgood oppurtunity for two local businesses,” Ian Beckley said. “It’s started to become almost a traditional holiday event for us. It’s kind of the start of the holidays for us. It’s a good time for a fall beer to come out.” Colorado State University senior and Odell Brewing Company employee Kelsey Withrow echoed that sentiment, saying that the brown ale pairs well for a family-oriented season.
The Silver Grill and Doug Odell work on the brew in 2012.

“I think right up until Christmas would be the best time (to drink it),” Withrow said. “That’s when you can get together with your family and enjoy it. You can celebrate the holiday season and really enjoy it when it’s at its peak.” Christmas may be too late though, according to the Beckley’s. “The last couple of years it’s been gone by early December,” Heather Beckley said. “It used to last through January.” Ian Beckley said the beer is best paired with a savory meal like hash browns, eggs benedict or chicken fried steak. “More than anything, it’s just a really good beer,” Ian Beckley said. “I think it pairs well with anything off the menu.” Heather Beckley makes eight gallons of cinnamon caramel syrup to go in the brewing process and an unknown amount of cinnamon rolls. “I don’t know how many they eat, and how many end up in the beer, but I always bring them 30 or so cinnamon rolls,” Heather Beckley said. The beer will make its official annual release today at Odell Brewery Company. The release party will be from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and feature free cinnamon rolls from the Silver Grill. “Every single year it’s packed,” Heather Beckley said. “They go flying.” Mack Beaulieu can be reached online at entertainment@collegian.com.
