CSU dominates Abilene Christian 38-10

By Justin Michael @JustinTMichael

In front of the Orange Out crowd, Colorado State football moved to 8-0 all-time in their Ag Day uniforms, handily defeating Abilene Christian 38-10 at the on-campus stadium Saturday.

Relying primarily on the arm of senior quarterback Nick Stevens, the Rams came out of the gate looking to beat the Wildcats through the air. Using a heavy dose of wide receivers Michael Gallup and Olabisi Johnson, Stevens was able to pick apart the ACU secondary at will.

“This defense really had us

at wit’s end going into this game with what they were going to do,” head coach Mike Bobo said after the victory.

After consistently stacking eight to nine guys in the box against New Mexico last week, the Wildcats came out aggressive against the Rams as well.

CSU responded by trying to beat the ACU defensive backs over the top.

By the end of the first half, Stevens had already totalled 236 yards through the air, completing 19-of-29 attempts in the process. When the final cannon sounded, Stevens (337) sur-

passed 300 yards passing for the third consecutive game and threw for three scores.

“They were kind of asking us to throw the football in the first half,” Bobo said. “They played a lot of single coverage and I really thought Nick (Stevens) was on during the first half... If people are going to play an eight or nineman box, we’ve got to throw the ball.”

Gallup led all pass-catchers Saturday, finishing with 10 receptions for 103 yards and one touchdown. Coming in right behind him was Johnson, who finished with five receptions for 83

yards and a single score.

Early in the third quarter the Wildcats made things interesting when senior defensive end Bryson Gates blocked CSU freshman punter Ryan Stonehouse’s attempt and ACU safety Erik Huhn returned the ball 16 yards for the defensive touchdown. The Wildcats were not able to muster up much more offense than that though, as the Rams were able to stop ACU in every facet of their offense.

While the Rams relied primarily on the passing attack in the first 30 minutes of play, see FOOTBALL on page 8>>

No. 25 Colorado State volleyball won its eighth consecutive game with a sweep over the Idaho State Bengals (25-17, 25-20, 25-18) Sunday to win the tournament hosted by CSU. Sophomore Katie Oleksak and redshirt freshman Breana Runnels were named to the all-tournament team while senior Sanja Cizmic earned tournament MVP honors. Runnels finished the weekend with a team high 44 kills while Cizmic maintained a .415 hitting percentage for the three matchups.

CSU took care of Ball State University and Michigan University on Friday to go 3-0 for the weekend.

As for Idaho State Sunday afternoon, the Bengals (3-7) did not stand much of a chance against the Rams (8-1) as they were clicking in every aspect of the match, head coach Tom Hilbert described.

“I thought we played really well, I think Idaho State just didn’t have a whole lot of opportunity to do much against us,” Hilbert said. “There are still some things we got to get better at but I’m happy with this win.”

Runnels and Cizmic dominated the Bengals defense with 13 and 10 kills, respectively.

Runnels had quite a few kills the see VOLLEYBALL on page 10 >>

Hurricanes Harvey, Irma hit globally, impact CSU locally

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

Although Hurricane Harvey’s course ended, friends and family in the southern regions of America are still in danger of Hurricane Irma.

HURRICANE HARVEY ■ Aug. 17

Harvey starts to form east of the Lesser Antilles ■ Aug. 25 Harvey builds to a category 4 hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico.

■ Aug. 26-Aug. 30 Harvey’s final landfall occurs over Cameron, Louisiana. 40-52 inches of rainfall fell over the southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana areas.

Hurricane Harvey dropped 40 to 52 inches of rainfall in the southeast Texas and southwest

Louisiana areas, according to the Weather Channel.

Although this hurricane happened much farther south than Fort Collins, some Colorado State University students were personally affected.

“My aunt and uncle are now without a home or cars, and they’ve lost most of their personal belongings,” said Taylor Robertson, a junior studying biology at CSU. “It’s been kind of hard, and it’s saddening that I can’t get there to help.”

According to Jason Gerlich, a junior studying watershed science, Texas has shown the world how people can set aside their differences in order to help those in need though the event has been catastrophic.

“I think that there is no better representation of the spirit of our country than Texas,” said Gerlich, a native of Houston.

“No matter how much people may be different or divided, anybody who could help did so.”

Gerlich feels that his home state represents the spirit of America.

“Texans and Americans showed up in force to help,” Gerlich said. “I think Texas showed the country two things: what 50 inches of water will do to a city, and that we are not as divided as people like to believe.”

Although Hurricane Harvey has passed, Hurricane Irma is making its way through Caribbean Islands and Florida.

According to CNN, Hurricane Irma has caused fatalities, left islands in ruins and is expected to be a category 4 hurricane by the time it reaches the United States.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott stated that he had never seen anything like Hurricane Irma, and encouraged people to evacuate the state once given the news, according to The Washington Post.

“This is a deadly storm and our state has never seen anything like it,” Scott said at a news conference in Sarasota, according to The Washington Post.

The hurricane is now expected to hit the west coast

of Florida, targeting the area along Tampa and Fort Myers, according to CNN.

HURRICANE IRMA ■ Category 5 hurricane ■ Water level expected to rise 10 to

15 feet in southwestern Florida.

■ Up to 25 inches of rain possible

in the Florida Keys.

■Georgia expected to receive 12

inches of rain with southeast Georgia expecting isolated 16 inch totals.

According to Philip Klotzbach, a research scientist for CSU’s Department of Atmospheric Science, hurricanes originate as thunderstorm complexes in the mountains of Ethiopia. Some of these complexes travel across the ocean and intensify into hurricanes.

Even though most of these complexes end up dying off if the conditions are right, nat-

ural phenomenons like Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma still occur.

According to Klotzbach, in order for one of these thunderstorm complexes to become a hurricane, three conditions must exist: warm ocean water, weak vertical wind shear or a small difference in the direction of wind in the upper and lower atmosphere, and moisture in the air.

“These three ingredients aren’t always present,” Klotzbach said. “But, for Hurricane Irma, they’re all there. (Irma) is one of the most intense storms we’ve ever seen in the Atlantic of all time.”

According to Klotzbach, the force hurricanes produce poses a great danger to humans.

“Hurricanes are so powerful, it makes humans seem puny,” Klotzbach said. “It’s a monster entity. The amount of energy and mass it processes is mind boggling. It’s not something humans can match.”

CSUPD seeks information about physical assaults

By Abby Currie @abcchic15

The Colorado State University Police Department asked the CSU community to share any information they might have about two physical assaults.

A man reported being attacked by five to six male suspects to the Colorado State University Police Department,

according to an email the CSU’s Public Safety Team sent to students Thursday.

According to the email, the assault happened on Saturday, Sept. 2 between 9 and 9:30 p.m. near the Shields Street. underpass while the alleged victim was riding his hover board. The assault was physical, but not of a sexual nature.

CSU’s Public Safety Team reported that the male victim

sustained minor injuries.

That same evening, a female reported a similar attack.

The female did not report the assault to CSUPD but reported to housing staff that she was was assaulted by three to six men near Moby Arena while riding her bike. The second assault was also not sexual in nature.

The Public Safety Team reported that the female was

able to escape from the attackers.

In an email to the Collegian, Ciaravola wrote that the report from the housing staff reached CSUPD through a system in place to review incidents.

Students concerned about safety can view information and resources on CSU’s safety website. The Public Safety Team advises students to call

SafeWalk at 970-491-1155, report suspicious behavior by calling 911, be aware of surroundings, take care of their safety and the safety of others, and trust their instincts.

New chemistry, biology buildings offer research opportunities

By Julia Trowbridge @Chapin_jules

This semester, the new biology and chemistry buildings opened on the southeast corner of campus where most of the natural sciences buildings are located.

OFFICIAL OPENING CEREMONY ■ Thursday, Oct 12 at 1:45 p.m.

■ Tours of buildings given

“The buildings are meant to be modern, warm and welcoming,” said Melissa Reynolds, the associate dean for research for the College of Natural Sciences.

“There’s multiple collaboratory spaces, sitting spaces and study rooms that encourage people to interact on a more regular basis.”

Although the buildings were created at the same time, both come from different sources of funding. While the Chemistry Research Building was a result of outgrowing infrastructure standpoints, the University saw the need for an expansion with the biology building, and student fees funded the project.

“Not only does biology (department) house more than 1,400 undergraduate majors in biological science and zoology, but also some 60 percent of all CSU undergraduates will take a class in the department,” said Katie Courage, the director of college communications for the College of Natural Sciences. “It is a great space for anyone, whether or not they are studying biology or taking a class in the department, to come in, look around and find a spot to study or take a break.”

The Chemistry Research Building, which cost $55.4 million, had been in the works for many years. It was approved for funding a couple years back, and offers 60,000 total square feet for

research, according to the program plans. Construction for the building started at the same time as the biology building, in November 2015.

“The laboratories have substantial improvements in water and energy usage,” said Chuck Henry, chair for the Department of Chemistry. “And, the building has a lot of natural light because of the windows, unlike the old chemistry building.”

Each building has special architectural features that make the buildings unique to CSU. The Chemistry Research Building has a copper wall hanging in the lobby, with signed names etched in, and the biology building has a ceremonial beam with green and gold signatures from the University administration, according to SOURCE.

CHEMISTRY RESEARCH BUILDING ■ First and second floors dedicated

to materials research ■ Third floor dedicated to organic chemistry ■ Fourth floor dedicated to biological chemistry

The biology building has classrooms and teaching laboratories on the first floor, with the second through fourth floors holding research laboratories and faculty and graduate student offices, according to Courage. The laboratories are surrounded with glass, giving onlookers the opportunity to see what’s going on in the research at CSU and allowing natural light into the laboratories.

In the Chemistry Research Building, the first two buildings are for materials chemistry, broadly defined across synthetic chemistry, the third floor is for organic chemistry and the fourth floor is for biological chemistry.

Synthetic chemistry impacts society in a number of areas and is a particular strength of the CSU Chemistry Department, according to the program plans for the Chemistry Research building.

BIOLOGY BUILDING ■ First floor dedicated to class-

rooms and teaching laboratories ■ Second through fourth floors dedicated to research laboratories and faculty and graduate student offices Both buildings are meant to be LEED gold certified, according to Chuck Henry, department chair for chemistry, and Courage.

The certification is considered an achievement to the chemistry department, due to the chemical waste needs of a research building.

“This is a big deal for the Chemistry (Research) Building,” Reynolds said. “The research building meets the energy needs for the research labs. It’s an important deal and contributes well to the University’s goal of sustainability.”

CSU students in the College of Natural Sciences seem to appreciate the new addition to the campus.

Austin Colter, a junior zoology major, said he appreciates the brighter, happier and cleaner space for his research.

“The biology building, among other new additions, I would say was pretty needed,” Colter said.

“Now, instead of having the (biology and zoology) students scattered across campus for classes and labs, the new building will centralize that.”

The Science Mall, containing the Anatomy Zoology building, Microbiology building, and Environmental Health buildings, is still expanding.

“It you walk by the two new

science buildings now, you will see there is a new construction project underway just to the south- that is the new Health Education Outreach Center addition on the Anatomy and Zoology building,” Courage said.

The Biology and Chemistry buildings will have an official opening ceremony on Oct. 12 at 1:45 p.m. University administration, former alumni

and student groups who voted for the addition of the new biology building will be in attendance.

Tours of the buildings will be given afterwards.

“It’s an exciting time for the Natural Sciences College,” Reynolds said. “(These new buildings) provide more opportunities for research and involvement.”

Dismantling DACA is counterproductive, against American values Jayla Hodge @JaylaHodge

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.

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump ordered an end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and gave Congress six months to pass a replacement before he starts phasing out its protections. This announcement has the potential to negatively affect many in this country who play a positive role in our society. More importantly, the Dreamers represent the American Dream, our principle belief that anyone should have the opportunity to work hard and achieve success.

DACA is an Obama-era program that has protected almost 800,000 immigrant youth from deportation. The youth protected are often referred to as “Dreamers.” The Dreamers have done nothing wrong. They were simply born to undocumented parents or brought into this country as children. Dreamers

should not have to deal with these repercussions because coming to America was out of their control.

DACA has afforded Dreamers the chance to live and work in the U.S legally. The program has also improved the lives of a quarter million talented, intelligent, and deserving young people who have made the most of the opportunities given to them. By dismantling DACA, Trump is taking those opportunities away.

Dreamers embody the true ideals and principles of what it means to be American. Like many of our ancestors and even grandparents were brought into this country in hopes of having better lives and opportunities. This is the history of many American immigrants. DACA applicants even applied and paid for a government program that allowed them to do so lawfully. Now, they face the possibility of being sent back to potentially dangerous countries they have never known. This decision is not only against our American values, it is extremely cruel and inhumane.

One argument against DACA is that the program is a threat to our national security and allows those with criminal records to reside in the U.S. This is false. This program was created by the Department of Homeland Security, and potential applicants are vetted

through a vigorous process. Criminal activity and records can lead to ones status being revoked. To be eligible the undocumented young people must have entered the U.S. before age 16 and lived there since June 15, 2007. They cannot have been older than 30 when the Department of Homeland Security enacted the policy in 2012.

DACA is one component to a complex and divided immigration policy debate. Even though the DREAMERS is one of the most sympathetic and agreeable plans, how our leadership addresses and handles DACA will reflect on their immigration stance as a whole.

Politics are once again taking priority over the lives of people.

Some of the strongest arguments against DACA is that the participants take resources and programs away from American born citizens that need them. This is not the case considering DACA recipients are ineligible for government support programs such as Medicaid, Food Stamps, SSI, Welfare, Section 8 and ACA. Many DACA applicants’ lives are vastly improved once they have been accepted into the program. In a Center for American Progress survey of roughly 3,000 DACA recipients, nine-tenths of respondents said they had jobs.

Their average hourly wage was $17.46 an hour, up from $10.29

before receiving DACA. About 72 percent of respondents were pursuing higher education. And lastly, after getting DACA, almost 80 percent of respondents said they got driver’s licenses and about half became organ donors. This shows how vital these programs are for improving the lives of people that reside in this country and the importance of having lawful programs like DACA in place.

The Center for American Progress estimated that the U.S. would lose about $460 billion in GDP over the next 10 years without DACA and about 700,000 people could lose their jobs. This shows that the Dreamers are a vital part of our economy and productive participants in our workforce.

In a campus-wide email, Colorado State University President Tony Frank addressed the decision to rescind DACA, taking a strong stance on supporting Dreamers. He also revealed that 189 Dreamers attend CSU. Dismantling DACA not only makes a national impact, it affects the lives of our classmates and community members.

As Tim Cook, Apple CEO with 250 Dreamer employees stated in a tweet, “[Dreamers] deserve our respect as equals and a solution rooted in American values. They contribute to our companies and

communities just as much as you or I. Apple will fight for them to be treated as equals.”

We must follow the examples of Apple and President Tony Frank; we must act. In the past few days there has been an outbreak of protest and rallies in light of the DACA decision. Like our University President, we must use our voices and reach out to lawmakers and members of congress. ACLU Action and online petitions are easy and accessible options to show support.

Ending DACA is not a decision regarding ‘protecting our borders.’

This is a plan that could result in the deportation of young people who were brought and grew up in this country as children. Most Dreamers have lived here most of their lives. They have grown up as Americans. They speak English, attend our schools, and shop in our grocery stores. Many not only love this country but they fight and serve in our military, work in our businesses, and contribute to our economy.

This moment will be a defining piece in our country’s history.

This is not simply about the future of the Dreamers but the future of our country and who we are as a people. We must defend our American values.

CSU ‘Zero Waste Team’ involvement should inspire others to act Tyler Weston @CSUCollegian

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.

Colorado State Football lovers may have noticed something a bit different at the new CSU stadium. People hanging around the trash cans, wearing orange vests and engaging with everyone who came their way had a presence at the game. Don’t worry, they’re not gestapo agents or some sort of facilities maintenance team on the lookout for misbehavior, they are the CSU Zero Waste

Team. The team is working to educate and set an example by talking to you about your garbage. The team is an excellent initiative which will not only provide CSU with waste management, but set an example for others.

The Zero Waste Team is a community action group organized in part by Maggie Gilman, a junior human dimensions of natural resources major. The teams mission is to provide outreach and public education on waste diversion and management in order to divert compostable waste from the Larimer County Landfill and ensure a cleaner waste stream from our university.

CSU tends to laud its various environmental initiatives and accomplishments like badges of honor. We should.

Efforts to make ourselves and our community more environ-

mentally sustainable are increasingly important in todays world. In this instance, two of those efforts have almost perfectly collided to create a new initiative.

In the earlier months of 2017, the university christened a new, expanded composting facility at the foothills campus.

The goal is to grow the campus composting program and eventually make it self-sustaining by selling the end product. Along with this enhanced capability to reduce landfill waste, we’ve got this impressive new stadium which, much like many of our buildings, is looking to attain a LEED certification for environmentally friendly buildings.

The ambitious goal that has been set for the stadium includes a requirement for a three-stream waste system, which allows for the separation of recyclable, landfill and com-

postable waste into three separate bins.

“There was a big opportunity with the new stadium, to form new habits and change the game day culture,” junior apparel design major, Nogah Seidemann said, While making positive cultural changes on such a large scale may seem like a lofty goal, it’s exactly the kind of impact we should all be striving for. We should act on initiatives that do not necessarily seem present on campus, according to Gilman. Even if you care less about trash, but really find yourself worried about shelter animals, involvement is key. The list of possibilities is near endless and getting involved in our communities is the most important thing we can dedicate ourselves to.

Between work, school and self care, I can see how it might

feel it’d be more than any one person can handle, but the payout is monumental. We are living in unprecedented times, in a nation plagued by divisive rhetoric and increasingly deadly natural disasters. No matter which way your political ideologies lean, the very best way to improve our local, national or even global situation is to roll up our sleeves and get involved in improving it.

If you’d like to start volunteering with the CSU Zero Waste Team you can find sign ups and more information on their Facebook page. If you’d like more information on other ways you can get involved here in our local community, the CSU website has a list of resources to help students make a difference.

Colorado State University 2-D printing club is revolutionary, breaking barriers Ty Betts @tybetts9

Editor’s note: This is a satire piece from the Collegian’s opinion section. Real names may be used in fictitious/semifictitious ways. Those who do not like reading editor’s notes are subject to being offended.

FORT COLLINS- This Tuesday evening, a group of students pushing the limits on what’s possible with a paper printer are coming to the Morgan Library.

This would be the newly established 2-D Printing Club; an organization passionate about applying ink to paper. Michael Carrel, president of the club, said he has been using printers all his life. He believes he is now an expert at printing.

“Black and white, color, double sided, numbered — you name it, I can do it,” Carrel said while simultaneously showing off his weathered, paper-cut hands.

Carrel said he hopes to share what he has learned over the years with his peers.

Club members start off the

night by taking pictures of 3-D objects that will later appear on a 2-D piece of paper. The images are loaded onto a computer and ‘copypasted’ into a Microsoft Word document.

“This is when the printing comes into play,” Carrel said.

“We send a signal to a printer telling it what we need it to do and within seconds you have a printed page with your picture on it.”

After that it’s just a matter of taking a pair of scissors, cutting the 2-D image out, and taping it to the club’s image board.

“I show up each week just to watch,” Emily Burroughs said. Though not an active printer herself, she said what this club does is art at its finest.

Some nights all members work together on a group project focused on taking printing to the next level.

Perhaps most impressive of these endeavors was printing out enough pages to create an entire 2-D Monopoly board complete with everything you need to play the game.

“It was incredible,” Carrel said. “We had little paper houses, hotels and money. All

of which was in color.”

To anyone interested, the 2-D Printing club is always open to new members.

Membership is free, but individuals pay for their own ink and paper expenses.

Additionally, newbies are required to pass a printing safety test as well as sign a liability waiver.

“We are breaking new ground here and we want everyone to be a part of it,” Carrel said.

Football >> from page 1 CSU was able to use its stable of running backs to wear down the defense in the second half. After combining for only 67 yards on the ground in the first half, the Rams running back trio of Dalyn Dawkins, Izzy Matthews and Rashaad Boddie ran all over the Wildcats in the second.

Looking to control the tempo and protect the lead, the Rams used their three-headed rushing attack to run down the clock in the second half, a strategy that worked well for them.

In total, the Rams finished the game with 268 yards on the ground.

“We came in at halftime

and talked about the fronts that they were giving us,” Bobo said. “We had four or five runs out of each formation and we just came to the line and called one if they gave us the look. If not, I kind of killed it from the sideline and called another run.

I thought we executed the rungame much better in the second half.”

Much like the players and coaches anticipated coming into the game, ACU never stopped competing in the contest, adding ten points in the second half. CSU was ultimately able to close out the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) opponent though.

After defeating ACU (0-2), the Rams (2-1) will close out the non-conference portion of their schedule with a road game at Alabama (2-0) on Saturday, Sept. 16. CSU last played in

Rams knock off No.16 Michigan in front of Orange Out crowd

By Luke Zahlmann @luckzahlmann

The Colorado State volleyball team is making a habit of upsets as they beat No. 16 Michigan in straight sets on Friday night after upsetting then-No.15 Florida State last weekend.

Following a less than stellar effort against Ball State to begin the day, the Rams came out firing in front of a CSU crowd that measured sixth-highest of all time, including many alumni adorned in orange. Opening up the first set with a 6-0 run, aided by an overturned call for the final point of the run, the Rams led the entire set.

The Rams got a familiar face back in their lineup as senior Alexandra Poletto returned to the middle and provided a spark, hitting .625 in the match.

“After yesterday’s practice, I did not think she was going

to get to go,” head coach Tom Hilbert said. “I thought she did well, Katie (Oleksak) used her exactly how she should. She was a pretty good blocking force up there.”

Not to be forgotten, Paulina Hougaard-Jensen shined in place of Kirstie Hillyer. Hougaard-Jensen finished two behind kills leader Sanja Cizmic (13) and finished with a lofty .611 hitting percentage. Hougaard-Jensen has performed at a high level amid an injury-riddled Rams team and has provided a wall in the middle.

Going into the second set with all of the momentum, the Rams fell behind early before going on a 6-0 run with a pair of blocks to go up 7-4. Outside of the beginning of the set, the Rams controlled the set throughout and kept the ball in their court, taking the set 25-22.

Despite seeming to tweak

her leg in the first set, Cizmic battled through and turned in a gritty performance, indicative of CSU’s season. The Rams have overcome adversity from the first match of the year, losing a five-set match to Duke. Maturity has been the key to the Rams’ success and ability to persevere through trouble.

“We played with really great maturity,” Hilbert said. “These guys are stepping up in (big) situations.”

Michigan fell victim to a lackluster defensive performance in which every ball seemed to roll in the Rams’ favor. Wayward dig attempts were the story for the Wolverines’ lack of momentum and came often throughout the match. The team’s effort level rivaled that of any match they have played this year as they sought to impress in front of past CSU volleyball personnel.

“We got a lot of messages the past week,” Cizmic said. “We wanted to show them we can continue the tradition.”

The Rams cruised through the third and final set, taking it 25-18 with few high stress points intertwined. Michigan hit .368 in the final, their lowest of any set in the match. Meanwhile, the Rams hit with success as they swung .500 in the deciding set.

Katie Oleksak continued to be the glue of the team with another 42 assists to add to her season total of 359. Oleksak played a smart game and was able to incorporate several hitters. As a team, the Rams had three players with double-digit kills, as well as Jasmine Hanna who finished with seven, coming on strong at the end.

“Katie did a good job of distribution,” Hilbert said. “She really got some good opportuni-

ties for (Hougaard-Jensen and Cizmic). She picked great times to set and we had one-on-one opportunities at kills.”

In its entirety, the match featured a mere four blocks for each team, allowing the Rams outside hitters to send uncontested attacks over the net. Despite the advantage on the outside, both teams hit well in the middle and the Wolverines were able to take advantage of the Rams’ dwindling depth. In spite of a lack of blocks, the Rams still applied pressure and played at a high level on the defensive side.

“We only stuffed four balls,” Hilbert said. “But we funneled stuff and did a nice job on their pin hitters. We dug stuff that came off the block and we took the line for the most part to the very end.”

SOCCER

Second half surge gives Rams 5-1 victory

By Christian Hendrick @ChristianHCSU

The Colorado State women’s soccer team netted five goals in the final 45 minutes of Sunday’s game against North Dakota State to defeat the Bison 5-1 at the CSU Soccer Field.

For the second time in September, the Rams exploded for five goals in a game, tying a program record for most goals in a single match. In a 5-1 win against New Mexico State on Sept. 1, freshman Ally Murphy-Pauletto led the team with three goals. In Sunday’s game, it was her roommate Karli Eheart who steered the Rams’ offense with a pair of tallies.

Although the 5-1 final score indicates a dominating performance by CSU, it was the Rams who were chasing the Bison through much of the first half.

In the 13th minute, NDSU midfielder Malana Vichon took the ball in behind a CSU defender in the corner of the CSU defensive zone and sent a crossing pass across the bottom of the penalty area to midfielder Malley O’Brien for an easy tap-in goal. O’Brien’s goal was the first of the season for NDSU and an indicator that the Rams were not playing up to speed early in the contest.

“We’re a program that has to play like it’s the last game we’re ever going to get a chance to put a uniform on, or else we’re never going to succeed,” coach Bill Hempen said. “I’m glad they responded because that team was fighting. They hadn’t won a game

and they hadn’t scored a goal until today and they were playing with more grit than we were.”

The Rams took a 1-0 deficit into the break, but came out of halftime looking like a completely different team than the one that only mustered two shots in the first half.

“In the first half I felt like we were tired and weren’t really in it,” Eheart said. “In the second half we kind of realized that this isn’t how good we can be and we got back into it and played like we know how to.”

In the 48th minute, CSU’s first scoring opportunity came on a free kick from Makenzi Taylor. The NDSU goaltender gloved Taylor’s shot, but when the junior defender got another free kick opportunity in the 53rd minute, she connected with sophomore Caeley Lordemann, who drilled the ball into the back of the net for her first goal of the season.

No more than two minutes later, Murphy-Pauletto took advantage of NDSU’s inability to clear the defensive zone and set up Eheart for her first goal of the season and the first of her collegiate career. “(My first goal) was really exciting.” Eheart said. “I didn’t really realize it at first, but then everyone started freaking out and I was like ‘Oh my God!’ It was a really surreal moment.”

With the score 2-1 in the 58th minute, senior Maddi Rodriguez sent a pass to Eheart who was able to get a shot past the challenging NDSU goalkeeper and bring the CSU lead to 3-1.

NDSU only conceded two

corner kicks the entire match, but on the Rams’ second opportunity in the 62nd minute, Lexi Swanson took Taylor’s cross and headed it into the back of the net for the Rams’ fourth goal in just under ten minutes.

Up three goals, the Rams kept pressuring the NDSU defensive zone until Madisann Relph assisted freshman Kallie Clements on her first collegiate goal in the 85th minute.

The Rams’ consistent ability to maintain possession and put pressure on the NDSU defense is why Eheart believes CSU turned the game around in the second half.

“We turned into more possession, so we were just trying to keep the ball and (create) opportunities came from that,” Eheart said. “Rather than trying to force it and run everywhere, we let the ball do the work and that build up just opened up the plays for easy finishes.”

Eheart and the Rams do not play again until next Sunday, but Hempen and his team will ride the momentum from their win to prepare for their final non-conference match of the year, a road game at Kansas State.

“Any coach will tell you that it’s a lot better to enter that week off with a win than a loss,” Hempen said “We’ll be back at practice Tuesday morning and we’ll be challenging them (players) as we prepare for that last non-conference game, but we’ll ride this (win).”

FOOTBALL

Offense overcomes missed opportunities in victory over ACU

By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_

Though not entirely indicative of Colorado State’s offensive dominance on Saturday afternoon, the Rams defeated Abilene Christian 38-10.

In a game where the Rams amassed 605 total yards on offense, the most in head coach Mike Bobo’s time at CSU, the 38 points are certainly lower than what the team could have produced. After scoring with ease on the opening drive, the offense seemed likely to do the same its next time out before being stopped on a goal-to-go situation. Although they did convert a field goal, a touchdown was well within reach.

On the next drive, CSU was stopped on fourth down in ACU territory to squander another early scoring chance. Finally, looking to go up by four scores right before halftime, running back Dalyn Dawkins coughed

Volleyball >> from page 1 whole weekend, but also racked up the attack errors in the first two matches with 18. Those mistakes went away against the Bengals as the outside hitter had only three errors.

The tournament MVP, Cizmic hit .421 for the match, highlighted by five kills and a .571 hit percentage in the first set. She helped set the tone for the Rams as they led most of the way in the first set and carried that dominance into the next two sets.

Senior Jasmine Hanna stepped up in the second set with five kills of her own as the Bengals struggled to find the holes in the Rams’ block as CSU had five denials in the set.

The blocking force would continue into the third behind sophomore Paulina Hougaard-Jensen’s four blocks in the final frame. The Denmark native was called upon this weekend to step up in the middle with injuries to Kirstie Hillyer and Alexandra Poletto.

“I think Paulina, of the weekend, she was one of the people that really stepped up and got better from what she was in practice last week and even in last weekend’s matches,” Hilbert said. “I think she saw this opportunity to play a huge role for us and did it.”

“She has definitely grown

up the ball on the Wildcats’ fiveyard line. Again, a promising drive came up empty.

OFFENSIVE STANDOUTS ■ WR Michael Gallup

10 receptions, 108 yards, 1 touchdown

■ RB Izzy Matthews

12 attempts, 96 yards, 3 receptions, 34 yards, 1 touchdown ■ QB Nick Stevens 25-40, 342 yards, 3 touchdowns, 1 interception ■ 605 total yards is the most the Rams have gained in the Mike Bobo era.

Despite the final score, running back Izzy Matthews understands that the offense also left plenty of points on the field.

“The issue today was we

on the slides, we were connecting really well with that,” Oleksak added. “That’s nice to see that I can trust her, I can dish it out to her back there and I’ll know she will get a kill.”

Senior McKenna Thornlow was also injured all weekend, forcing freshmen Maddi Foutz and Anna Detry to be more involved on the defensive side.

The two defensive specialists were able to make big digs throughout the tournament, including another highlight reel play from Foutz.

The Bengals had a short serve over the net in the first set that resulted in the Rams dig flying into the back of their court. Foutz was able to sprint towards the ball and punch it backwards over the net with her left hand. The save ultimately led to a kill by Cizmic and allowed for the Rams to tie it at four.

“They did a nice job,” Hilbert said. “Those kids are very young kids and they are going to make some mistakes but they play hard and they pull out some defensive stuff I really like.”

Overall, the Rams walk away from the weekend with their eighth straight win, still feeling as if they have not fully hit their stride. The injuries have racked up early for CSU and it is tough to imagine what they can accomplish when they are all fully healthy.

“I don’t think we even know yet,” Cizmic said on the team’s ceiling. “I think we realized that we are better

weren’t finishing drives, and that really hurts” Matthews said. “605 yards on offense … and you only come up with 38 points. It’s about finishing drives.”

After ACU returned a blocked punt to start the third quarter, the Rams held just a 10-point lead despite leading in nearly every statistical category. Two offensive possessions later, a Nick Stevens’ pass was intercepted in ACU territory. At that point, a game that CSU had clearly outplayed its opponent looked to be turning in ACU’s favor.

However, the offense began to do something it was unable to in the first half: finish drives.

Stevens capped off the ensuing possession with a 19-yard touchdown pass to Detrich Clark. On the next drive, running back Izzy Matthews caught a check down from Stevens and took it 22 yards for another score.

For Stevens, the ability to

overcome issues like turnovers or penalties and begin finishing those promising drives was key for the team’s ability to settle in.

“Coach was telling us we were driving up and down the field, we just need to finish,” Stevens said. “I think the offense did a great job all day moving the ball. There were a couple of drives where we went flat, but we did a good job of overcoming and that created momentum for the entire team.”

Though Stevens finished with at least 300 yards passing for the third consecutive game to start the season, the rushing attack added that second dimension to the offense that was lacking last week. In the days leading up to the game players and coaches stressed the importance of bringing a balanced rushing attack. CSU accomplished that on Saturday afternoon.

In total, the Rams rushed for 268 yards on 38 attempts for

a robust 7.1 yards per attempt.

Matthews led the way with 89 yards while Dalyn Dawkins added 73 of his own. All in all, five running backs recorded a carry in the game, including freshman Marcus McElroy, who recorded his first collegiate carry.

The competition between the backs has only pushed them to better each other to this point in the season.

“What’s great about our competition is it’s not who’s going to be the starter, it’s who can be pushed to be the best person in the room,” Matthews said. “I think that’s what is really special about us. We’re all brothers, we all love each other, we’re all out there competing our tails off.

But at the end of the day, we’re all just trying to win games.”

The Rams will look to carry the offensive momentum into Tuscaloosa where they will face No. 1 Alabama on Sept. 16.

Curfman Gallery to present international poster art

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

Talented poster artists from all around the world are coming to Colorado State University.

With nearly 150 posters created by more than 70 artists from over 40 countries from all six inhabited continents, the 20th Colorado International International Invitational Poster Exhibition (CIIPE) opens on Sept. 22 in the Curfman Gallery and the Visual Arts Gallery.

“Every two years, Colorado State University reaches out to both the famous and to emerging creative practitioners of poster art from all parts of the world,” said John Gravdahl, assistant professor in Graphic Design and a director of the exhibition. “We seek to gather a meaningful cross section not only of creative expression but also of unique international cultural attitudes and concerns.”

The biannual gallery is one of the only poster exhibitions of this caliber that has been going on for a significant period of time.

“In the world of poster design, it’s hard to find an exhibition like this that’s been happening this long,” said Doug Sink, program manager for Lory Student Center Arts. “This exhibition really highlights what art is and can be doing over the past 40 years.”

CSU faculty members invite poster artists of many varieties to showcase what they think is their best work. There isn’t any restrictions or categories for the art. Besides the medium being a poster, the content that is displayed is completely up to the artists.

“We don’t know what art will be put on the walls until two

weeks before the event,” Sink said. “It can be anything from ads, plays, lectures or calls to action related to social awareness campaigns. The artists themselves are self-curating. They’re choosing their best pieces of work in the past couple of years.”

CIIPE brings in alumni and Fort Collins community mem-

bers as well. With the level of talent being presented in this gallery, the exhibit is a special opportunity for everyone to experience the world of poster art.

“This exhibition allows students at CSU to experience first hand the best that the poster world has to offer,” said Jason Fraizer, assistant professor in

Graphic Design and a director of the exhibition “The exhibit is a chance for CSU students in the arts, along with the entire CSU community, to celebrate the varied and vast world of the poster.”

CSU English professor immerses students in fiction

By Mir-Yashar Seyedbagheri @dudesosad

EJ Levy took a fascinating path to discovering her true passion: fiction writing.

Levy is a professor at Colorado State University. She uses unique immersion methods to teach her students fiction writing.

Levy graduated with a history degree from Yale. “(I) worked every crummy job on my way to admitting what really mattered to me was fiction,” Levy said.

A member of the English faculty at CSU since 2012, Levy currently teaches the graduate fiction workshop as part of the Masters of Fine Art program, in addition to directing a number of theses in fiction and non-fiction. The author of the short-story collection, “Love In Theory,” Levy is currently working on a novel about a 19th century Irish physician who disguised herself as a man.

Levy came to creative writing with doubt.

“I thought if you weren’t called

by God or the New Yorker to write, then you had no right to pursue a literary life,” Levy said.

Levy’s path included serving as a magazine editor in New York, a newspaper editor in New Mexico and as a freelance journalist for a “impoverishing lefty press.”

She developed philosophies about teaching and writing along the way.

“Mine’s an immersive approach,” Levy said. “As in learning a foreign language, aiming to immerse students in the form they seek to master: the fiction form.”

Levy noted that in her classes, student work is the primary text.

However, students also read published work with an eye for craft

elements, allowing them to develop their own skills.

“When a story presents itself, insists on being told, you have to have the skills to tell it fully,” Levy said.

Levy said she teaches traditional dramatic structure because she was slow in converting to the faith.

As a writer, Levy sees making art as the most human thing we do.

“We seem to be the only animal that finds it necessary to ... write novels or compose arias,” Levy said.

Levy describes her own aesthetic as “thinky” fiction.

“I like work that’s interested in ideas and the pleasure of thought,” Levy said. “Literary and visual art that engages ideas, that comments on consciousness and culture and history, politics and form that plays at the edges of narrative convention.”

Levy has left her mark on the MFA classroom. Evan Senie is a first-year candidate in fiction. He is impressed by Levy’s philosophy and workshop style.

“Professor Levy was engaging and focused and made clear to us that she had high expecta-

tions,” Senie said.

Senie noted that Levy encouraged the workshop students to block out ten hours of writing time per week. In addition, he said he liked Levy’s emphasis on considering personal aesthetic and broader literary traditions.

According to Senie, Levy asked the class to consider their writing styles and particular aesthetics.

“I haven’t taken many literature or writing classes before,” Senie added. “So I don’t quite know where to place myself.”

Senie also praised Levy’s decision to require students to submit stories for publication.

Megan Clark, a second-year

MFA student, also cited the classroom environment as a plus.

Clark said that the ambience of Levy’s workshop was “warm, yet rigorous.”

Clark also praised Levy’s use of published stories in class, along with assigned writing prompts to get students thinking about short stories.

“She has helped me start stories from a relaxed position,” Clark said.

Kitmik Borgard, a first-year MFA student, echoed the sentiment, noting an intellectual community in workshop.

“She challenges us to think beyond our default perspective,” Borgard said.

Levy noted that literature also has a deep role to play for humanity.

“Beyond the sheer pleasure of reading and writing, literature exercises the heart,” Levy said. “It is a way to strengthen our capacity for empathy and for solitude, capacities we are in crucial need of now in this country and in the world.”

New Lyric theater to open late September MOVIES & TV

By Sarah Ehrlich @SarahEhrlich96

After a short hibernation, the new and revamped Lyric is nearly ready for its grand opening.

Formally known as the Lyric Cinema Café and now shortened to the Lyric, the theater has been working all summer on a brand new building and restaurant to be opened in late September.

General Manager Michael Putlack said the Lyric hopes to use the bigger space to host more community events and more niche films. For example, with a plethora of new independent, foreign and local films, the Lyric will host the Weekend Warriors film festival, a festival challenging local filmmakers to produce a film in under two days.

The Lyric plans to have a soft opening weekend on Sept.

29 and will continue with a grand opening party on Oct. 4.

The party will feature a marching band starting in Old Town

Square and making its way to the new location on College Ave. There, attendees will find two bands playing the big theater while a DJ spins in the medium sized auditorium. People are invited to stay after the music to view a screening of “Black Dynamite,” a Lyric favorite.

NEW LYRIC THEATER ■ Location

1209 N College Ave

■ Featuring

4 movie screens, full restaurant and bar ■ Grand opening party Oct. 4 “Admission to the event on the fourth is free,” Putlack said.

“Then we expect to be opening the new ‘Blade Runner’ on the fifth and will be continuing the celebration all weekend with screenings of ‘Black Dynamite’ and ‘Cinema Paradiso’ along with ‘Blade Runner 2049,’ ‘Vic-

toria & Abdul’ and ‘Battle of the Sexes.’”

In addition to four screens, including an outdoor one made special for “bike-in” movies, the Lyric has expanded their food and drink options into a full service bar and restaurant with a gourmet menu.

The new Lyric restaurant will offer cheese and hummus plates, many things wrapped in bacon and sweets like doughnut holes and vegan chocolate mousse.

The bar offers wine local brews as well as cleverly named cocktails such as “Pulp Fiction” and “Creature from the Black Lagoon.”

The Lyric has had a strong community support of their unique films and events such as Bad Movie Nite. CSU students are happy to see a new and improved place to get their film fix.

“I saw a touring band at the Lyric once and really enjoyed the sound, atmosphere and friendly staff,” said O’Bryan Smith, junior agricultural education major at Colorado State

University. “I am excited to see the new space and hope for the same Fort Collins feel.”

Sophomore biological sciences major Nicole Siebels said the Lyric may be a pioneer in a new form of entertainment.

“Its unique services and acquiring tastes in films have real-

ly caught my attention,” Siebels said. “I am interested in what the new space will look like, and I plan to make a visit very soon.”

Season 2 premiere of ‘One Mississippi’ charges cultural, political tension

By Mir-Yashar Seyedbagheri @ dudesosad It can be hard to find humor in our politically charged and polarized lives.

But Tig Notaro deftly pulls it off in Season 2 of her semi-autobiographical show, “One Missisippi.” It is a story of a young woman who has moved back to Mississippi. The second season tackles issues such as racism, homophobia and faith. Notaro uses a particular brand of black, deadpan humor to pull it off, as anyone who has seen Season 1 may know. Season 1 alone dealt with hard-hitting issues such as death and family, and with Season 2 the stakes are even higher.

In Season 2, major changes occur, namely on the relationship front. Notaro’s protagonist, named Tig Bavaro, is navigating the possibility of a relationship with a woman from her radio station. Bavaro’s brother Remy is also exploring a relationship with a Vietnamese-American woman, Vicky. It’s here that the tensions of the Trump era really come in full-force.

“You did nothing to stop a racist bully from becoming president,” Vicky says, after one of Remy’s friends makes crude comments about her ethnicity at a Civil War reenactment.

Remy responds that not every Trump voter is a racist.

“Everyone who accepts racism is a racist,” Vicky proclaims.

This blend of earnestness and

humor imbue the show with its strength. Tensions abound and characters try to grapple with them, not always successfully.

There’s a vulnerability that the characters are aware of, especially Bavaro, who is grappling with issues of sexual assault, as well as being gay in a conservative town.

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT? YES: If you like a show that addresses significant issues with a blend of hard-hitting humor and heart.

■ Starring: Tig Notaro, Noah Harpster, John Rothman, Stephanie Allynn ■

Release date: Sept. 8

■ Distributor: Amazon Studios ■ Where to watch:

Amazon Video (free with prime membership)

“Anyone want to associate themselves with lesbos and assault survivors?” quips Bavaro on her radio show. In another telling scene, Bavaro and a date are denied entrance to a hospital for being gay. Bavaro doesn’t hesitate to poke the proverbial bears.

Bavaro sarcastically refers to her sexuality as “a choice.”

She also proceeds to make a joke about her brother being her “husband-brother” also deftly playing off the stereotype of Southerners as inbreds.

The show deftly illus-

trates how certain lines blur in the era of Trump, especially in this small Mississippi community. One of Bavaro’s radio sponsors is a representative of a “pray away the gay” group. A sarcastic encounter with the representative results in losing a sponsor.

Other sponsors follow shortly, pulled by the powerful tide of the local culture. The proverbial ripple effect is in full swing here. It’s darkly comical and all too real.

One can talk about separation of church and state and about reliance on science. Such is not the case in the world of “One Mississippi.” And as viewers, it’s fascinating to glimpse another world. This is a place where evolution is doubted and Martin Luther King Day has been rebranded, “Great Americans Day” with a particular emphasis on Robert E. Lee and the Confederate way.

“Such disrespect,” one woman proclaims when Bavaro pokes fun at Robert E. Lee. I hope that subsequent seasons of the show will delve further into our political and social tensions. We might not be able to resolve them, or even change the tenor of the conversation immediately, but humor is always a way to explore our tendencies, the good, the bad and the downright ugly. Humor can also highlight vulnerability as “One Mississippi” does so well.
