How Bryce Krisl captured the hearts of CSU players, fans

By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_

The tears on Michael Gallup’s face stood out after Colorado State’s loss to Marshall in the New Mexico Bowl. After the CSU community grew so accustomed to seeing a vibrant, white smile throughout his two

years as a Ram, the tears were a stark contrast.

The Rams just concluded their third consecutive 7-6 season culminating in a bowl game defeat, and an anguished Gallup strolled the sidelines for the last time in his college career.

But, as teammates sauntered

off the field, Gallup found a familiar face in the front row of the stands. The tears rolling down his cheeks soon met that unmistakable smile, and the pain of defeat vanished for a brief moment of bliss.

Bryce Krisl, 5, Gallup’s biggest supporter and the boy

who became synonymous with CSU athletics during the season, raced onto the turf of Dreamstyle Stadium and soon found himself in a familiar place – tucked under the chin of his football hero.

“I was crying and he came over and he had my jersey on and the little helmet on and he

gave me a hug and said, ‘You did good,’” Gallup said of his conversation with Bryce after the New Mexico Bowl. “If that doesn’t make you smile, even if you do lose the game, I don’t know what will.”

Multicultural Greek Council protests Pi Kappa Phi shirt sales

By Austin Fleskes @Austinfleskes07

The Colorado State University Multicultural Greek Council protested the sale of Pi Kappa Phi philanthropy event shirts on Tuesday due to the content of the shirts and the event itself.

The spring 2018 philanthropy event for Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, titled “Queens of the Jungle,” tasked sororities with completing certain events, with the winning team winning a foam social from Pi Kappa Phi. Along with this, the fraternity sold shirts with “Queen of the Jungle” written on the backs, with an image of a lion through a set of scratch marks.

Casandra Vigil, president of MGC, explained that she and MGC found the content of the shirts being sold to be offensive.

“The word jungle has been used to trivialize people of color and cultures of color,” Vigil said. “It’s really offensive, as a Multicultural Greek Council who represents marginalized people and people of color,

when we hear the name ‘Queens of the Jungle.’”

Vigil also said that MGC found the event itself to be sexist, as it was exclusive to sororities on campus.

Members from MGC attended the Pi Kappa Phi general assembly meeting Monday night, where they read a letter addressing these issues.

“The brothers of Pi Kappa Phi and the Interfraternity Council must recognize that ‘Queens of the Jungle’ is an event that negatively portrays the intentions of Fraternity and Sorority Life within our community,” the letter explained.

Pi Kappa Phi sold the shirts on the flea market on Tuesday, and because of this, members of MGC protested the shirt sales.

“They didn’t hear what we were trying to say through our letter,” Vigil said. “So, we are doing more to take a stand.”

Jonathan Morreale, president of Pi Kappa Phi, wrote in an email to The Collegian that the shirts were not meant to offend anyone.

“It never was, nor will it

ever be, our intent to trivialize or appropriate cultures,” Morreale wrote.

Morreale added that the name of the event was intended to be a play on the term “king of the jungle,” a term commonly used to describe lions.

“We appreciate the

perspective shared by the Multicultural Greek Council and will use this as a learning opportunity,” Morreale wrote.

Lindsay Sell, the director for Fraternity and Sorority Life at CSU, wrote in an email to The Collegian that her office is currently reviewing

the situation and gathering information.

“We certainly take the concerns shared about the t-shirts and event very seriously,” Sell wrote.

RWB holds public demonstration for Sexual Assault Awareness Month

By Samantha Ye @samxye4

Over a dozen students marched through the Lory Student Center Wednesday, chanting for an end to sexual assault and victim blaming.

The protest was meant to create a necessary disturbance to draw attention to the issue of sexual assault, as well as show solidarity with survivors, said Whitney Gustafson, co-organizer of the protest and member of the Red Whistle Brigade.

Four RWB members and nine other students participated in the event.

The students started the demonstration in the LSC food court where they unfurled four different banners decrying rape and rape culture on campus.

At the blow of a whistle, they shouted out the messages of the banners: “We deserve a rapefree campus,” “Blame rapists, not victims,” “Sexual assault should not be part of the college experience” and “The only person who causes rape is a rapist.”

When they finished, those in the food court applauded them.

Students then took the protest outside to the Plaza where they repeated their message. After several minutes of silence, they then made a loop through and around the LSC, all while chanting the banner phrases, until they made their way back outside to the Plaza for a final chant.

The protest was an event for Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

It was promoted as a silent protest so students would not feel pressured to speak or be

confrontational if they did not want to, Gustafson said, but a majority of the protest was spent chanting the messages to which all participants lent their voice.

Gustafson and fellow coorganizer Hannah Manning said they were extremely grateful for those who did show up and hope for more participation in the future.

Overall, they considered their message and delivery to be effective.

“It was a powerful chance for our community to come together and stand up against (sexual violence)” said Bailey Schmidt, RWB member.

Manning said this was a project she and Gustafson had wanted to do for a while now, and she found the results generally positive.

“I thought it was powerful that everyone got silent (in the LSC food court) and listened to us, because often survivors aren’t really listened to,” Manning said.

Gustafson said she did notice some dismissive comments from onlookers about how people are already obviously against rape.

“When it comes to victim blaming and to supporting survivors and to getting justice, there’s a lot of things inhibiting those factors, so we want to recognize those as well,” Gustafson said. “It’s really easy to say you’re against rape--that’s a pretty nonconfrontational statement. But, are you doing what survivors need to help them heal, and are you advocating for justice too?”

Gustafson said the RWB wanted to bring the issue of sexual violence into the lives of those who

may not have to think about it.

Such student-led disruptions are particularly powerful for making people recognize rape and rape culture, said Larson Ross, a senior political science major who participated in the protest. “(It) shows that people in the community are willing to step up, and it’s not just authority figures ... or an institution, but rather people in the community ... who care about each other, and they’re going to hold you accountable themselves,” Ross said. “(The) University is not going to reach into your life in a meaningful way and make you think about rape culture and violence, but doing something like this (protest) directly will.”

ASCSU approves 18-19 fee package, passes funding for SDPS furniture

By Natalia Sperry @Natalia_Sperry

Editor’s Note: The Collegian is operated by the Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation.

The Associated Students of Colorado State University Senate approved of the student fees proposed for the 2018-2019 school year, passed funding for new furniture for SDPS offices and discussed the upcoming budget.

Senate approves 2018-2019 student fee package In a vote of confidence, the Senate unanimously approved the student fee bill presented by the Student Fee Review Board in a vote of 22-0-0.

For full-time, on-campus students the proposed fee increase is $18.82, a 1.59 percent rise from the current fee. This was the lowest fee increase seen in several years, Wise said. “(Senate’s) vote stands as a vote of confidence in the Board and in their ability to vote on the student fees,” Wise said. “It will go on to the Board of Governors regardless now.”

Wise said the fee package must now be approved finally by the Board of Governors during their meeting next week.

ASCSU Senate unanimously passes funding for Student Diversity Programs and Services furniture In a vote of 24-0-0, ASCSU passed a bill that would allocate $24,023 from Senate Discretionary Fund to be divided among the five SDPS offices in order to purchase new furniture as follows: Pride Resource Center: 5 armchairs, 2 couches and 2 tables El Centro: 26 chairs, 6 sofa chairs, 2 sofas, 4 tables and 1

conference table Black/African American Cultural Center: 4 chairs, 6 sofa chairs and 1 filing cabinet Native American Cultural Center: 6 chairs and 1 table Sen. Delray Echohawk, who wrote and presented the bill, said the SDPS offices have previously functioned solely off of used, cheap furniture, some of which are upwards of 15 years old.

However, in order to purchase new furniture with their organizational procurement cards, the offices must comply with University and Lory Student Center standards as set by contracts with two vendors, President-elect Tristan Syron said.

This means the SDPS offices are limited not only to what furniture they can buy but also by the prices those vendors have set. The potential furniture prices ranged from $250.51 to $2,292.08.

Syron said the funding will significantly impact the lives of students.

“This is double (the funding of) the water bottle bill. It’s going to have way, way more of an impact,” Syron said. “The water bottle bill was looking at what buildings were underfunded. This is what people are underfunded.”

Sen. Isaiah Martin said the necessity for support from Senate is crucial in their efforts to represent traditionally marginalized communities, especially given the campus environment this year.

“We have a lot of these offices that, unlike a lot of the different organizations we have on campus, do not get the same type of funding,” Martin said. “We’re a lot more limited in what we can get. I

know it seems like it’s just couches or chairs, but when you come to a predominantly white university from a marginalized community, these help you feel comforted.”

Echohawk said the bill will directly impact both current and prospective members and constituents of the diversity office and students who feel forgotten when relegated to sit on handeddown, broken furniture.

“We talk a lot about how we can support diversity, but we never actually do anything about it,” Echohawk said. “Let’s do something that’s going to last.”

Senate discusses 2018-2019 budget, funding of Rocky Mountain Student Media Corp.

Syron and Vice Presidentelect Kevin Sullivan presented the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The current proposal sent to The Collegian calls for a total of $1,710,007 from the Senate ASCSU General Fund to be spent in accordance with the budget as Syron and Sullivan finalize them.

Syron said it was important to the administration to budget resources in a way that aligns with their campaign platforms such as improving parking, U+2 and improved engagement through an ASCSU ambassador program.

“Your budget should really reflect your platforms, so I really do believe that,” Syron said. “We put the resources where we want to see the change.”

The proposed budget intends to allocate resources in a manner that will allow flexibility for funding things local lobbyists, who could potentially help advocate for student issues such as U+2.

Syron said the flexibility is important in that instance because depending on the outcome of

the study currently being done by the City of Fort Collins in collaboration with ASCSU, his administration wants to respond quickly.

“Let’s do it right. So if that money needs to go into a local lobbyist or a local advisor in order to make that impact, let’s do it,” Syron said. “We have one shot to make it right.”

Syron also proposed a resolution to the Senate pertaining to the funding of the Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation, which currently receives half of its budget from ASCSU. Senate will discuss the resolution in all committees prior to a vote during next week’s session.

Syron said the intention of the resolution was to improve transparency between the Executive and Legislative branches of ASCSU, since this contract is typically signed solely by the president without the consultation of Senate. However, regardless of the outcome of the resolution, the final decision

will come from the Office of the President.

“We thought there was a huge disconnect between the Senate and the Executive, so when we’re signing the contracts let’s get the student opinion,” Syron said.

In particular, Syron said he wanted to consult Senate because, due to an error in the Silva-Wells administration’s controller book, ASCSU failed to provide RMSMC with a one-time payment of $25,000. As such, in addition to the rising mandatory costs of minimum wage for student employees and professional staff, RMSMC has requested a one-time increase of $64,000 for the 20182019 fiscal year.

“I know the impact The Collegian can have on an individual,” Syron said. “This is not about how The Collegian writes about ASCSU … We really are here for the students.”

CSU students receive nationally competitive scholarships

By Matt Bailey @Mattnes1999

This semester, several students from Colorado State University received a number of different scholarships and honorable mentions from nationally competitive programs, including programs such as the Critical Language Scholarship, the DAAD RISE program, the NOAA Hollings Scholarship and the Barry Goldwater Foundation.

“These are great networking opportunities in the sense that there will be very talented students in these programs that have similar interests as you,” said Mary Swanson, associate director of the Office for Undergraduate Research and Artistry and the Office for Scholarship and Fellowship Advising.

Three students from CSU received the Critical Language Scholarship this year: Destiny Burnsworth, Hannah Hurlburt and Ashley Van Dyke.

The Critical Language

Scholarship, an intensive language program that funds students who are interested in learning critical languages, pays for students to learn one year’s worth of language materials in the span of eight to ten weeks over the summer in a country where the language is spoken.

Approximately 550 students receive this scholarship nationally, Swanson said.

Burnsworth, a senior double major in international studies said the waiting period was the most difficult part of the application process to get through.

Hurlburt, a sophomore international studies and communications major studying Chinese and Arabic, gave more details about the competitiveness of the application process.

“I knew that the chances were pretty slim,” Hurlburt said. “6,000 people apply across the country, and only 550 are chosen. But CSU has gotten students to that point before. I was talking to Mary Swanson every day, sending her

six drafts of my essays. I couldn’t have done it without the help of Mary Swanson.”

The two CSU students who were accepted into the DAAD RISE program were Haley Dallas and Allie Huber.

DAAD RISE is a program funded by the German government in which 300 students from the United States and Canada involved in STEM fields are offered summer internships in Germany. DAAD stands for the German Academic Exchange Service in English.

Dallas, a senior natural resource management and environmental and natural resource economics major, will be spending three-and-a-half months in Germany.

“I started screaming when I found out I got it this time. I opened the email and started jumping around my house, yelling at my boyfriend, yelling at basically everyone,” Dallas said.

She said she will be researching how urban infrastructure impacts the way air pollution moves

through a city in relation to climate change while living there.

Huber, a sophomore student studying civil engineering, will be studying Medieval basements while in Germany.

“When I first came to CSU, I wasn’t so sure about my civil engineering degree, but there’s a lot of places you can go with whatever you choose to study,” Huber said.

The two CSU students who received the NOAA Hollings Scholarship were Louisa Markow and Jarod Snook.

The NOAA Hollins Scholarship funds 100 juniors and seniors with $7,500 a year. Recipients undergo training in Silver Spring, Maryland one year after receiving the scholarship, and then take up NOAA internships, Swanson said.

Markow, a sophomore wildlife biology major, explained how recipients get to study at a lab facility of their choosing during the summer between their junior and senior years.

“The opportunity to spend

an entire month doing research at a facility of my choosing on a topic I’m interested in and then have the opportunity to present those findings is so valuable for an undergraduate,” Markow said.

Ben Fixman was the sole recipient of an honorable mention he received from the Barry Goldwater Foundation.

The Barry Goldwater Scholarship is given to students who are pursuing career paths in the STEM field.

“To be recognized at all is a huge honor,” said Fixman, a junior student studying cellular molecular neuroscience.

Fixman’s research revolves around neurodegenerative diseases.

“Both of my grandparents were actually chemistry professors at the university, and I think that if they were alive today to see that I was winning an award for my research, it would make them pretty happy,” Fixman said.

City Council discusses local government

By Meagan Stackpool @MeaganStackpool

KCSUFM.COM

In an effort to get students more engaged in local government, the Associated Students of Colorado State University and Fort Collins City Council, in collaboration with the Center for Public Deliberation, spoke with students on April 25 about local issues and concerns.

Mayor Wade Troxell and members of City Council talked with passersby on the plaza about issues such as affordable housing, public transportation and U+2. They also encouraged students to write their opinions on these issues and other concerns on whiteboards set up by the CPD. ASCSU Director of Community Affairs Hanna Johnson said civic engagement is important, especially for college students who tend to have low engagement in their local government.

Johnson said they wanted to make the event personal for the students, so they could meet and speak with their representatives directly.

“I think that often times students feel disengaged civically because they … don’t feel connected to their civic duty,” Johnson said. “We really wanted to connect students to those community issues and show them that civic engagement can be really relevant to your everyday life.”

Ray Martinez, the representative of District 2, said the engagement from all community members helps to get policy right the first time “I think it’s important that students are more aware. It’s not that they don’t want to be, they’re not always sure as to what’s the right question to ask,” Martinez said. “There really isn’t a wrong question to ask, so the more questions they ask the more informed they become.”

Kalie McMonagle, the program coordinator for the CPD, explained how the boards influence the City Plan.

“The City Plan is something that gives guidance for the city for what were going to do for the next 20-30 years,” McMonagle said. “In this case we’re looking 20 years ahead to figure out what we want housing to look like here, what we want transportation to look like here.”

Discussions were not confined to housing and transportation.

Amelia Guglielmi, a senior political science major and an associate justice in the judicial branch of ASCSU, spoke with representative Kristin Stephens of District 4 about the empowerment of women in politics.

“I really wanted to talk to specifically to Kristin because she is the only woman on City Council currently,” Guglielmi said. “She’s claiming that voice for herself.”

Ross Cunniff, the representative from District 5 which includes CSU campus, said the student population is the biggest gap in engagement.

“Being able to connect with your elected representatives means that you have much stronger voice in the decisions made at the local level,” Cunniff said. “You’re interacting with your local government multiple times a day.”

Cunniff also said he noticed an increase in student engagement when local government comes to campus, which is easier for them due to their presence in the community.

“That’s one of the advantages of a local government, were right here. We live here in the community, we interact with people every day,” Cunniff said.

Troxell stressed the importance of civic engagement on all levels, especially from students.

“Students are first class citizens in our community and so the more that we can actively engage with all of our citizens is good for our community,” Troxell said. “The city doesn’t run from City Hall. It really is a responsibility from all of our citizens to be actively engaged in the community.”

Ban the use of public funds for private settlements Ryan Tougaw @rtougaw

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.

Most college students work while in school. With Colorado’s minimum wage being $10.20 per hour, students working parttime will earn about $200 a week.

Nobody in college is claiming to be wealthy.

However, college students still lose some of their light paychecks to certain taxes, like the flat 4.63 percent income tax and social

security. The worst part is that some of it goes to terrible uses of taxpayer dollars.

An example of a grotesque use of taxpayer dollars is the use of taxpayer dollars in connection to the sexual misconduct allegations in the State Capitol.

Let me be very clear here; I’m absolutely in favor of an investigation into sexual assault allegations at the taxpayer expense. It’s our job to keep our representatives accountable, especially if they’re going to abuse their power and commit reprehensible acts like sexual misconduct. What I’m against is the use of taxpayer dollars to settle these cases.

California’s legislature has spent $290,000 settling harassment claims since 2006. In 2015, Pennsylvania’s Rep. Thomas

Caltagirone’s harassment claim was settled outside the state for a fat a $250,000 cost, paid for by the legislature.

Even in Colorado, taxpayers have spent around $250,000 investigating several misconduct allegations over the past few months. This is a good step forward. Investigation is a good step toward accountability.

Colorado has also joined the ranks of many other states that are considering institutionalizing a new sexual misconduct policy.

While these are good steps, the solution will never come from inside the government itself.

These emerging stories demand a higher degree of speculation from the taxpayers.

While this does not warrant an Inquisition-esque crusade into the legislature, it means that we need

KCSUFM.COM

to be holding our representatives accountable for their actions.

In early March, after numerous sexual misconduct allegations, Rep.SteveLebsockwas expelled from the Colorado state house in a 52-9 vote. Lebsock’s case is an example of what internal legislative investigations can yield if given time and clear evidence, but their power is not limitless.

The best way to combat this worrying trend is to keep these people out of office. They’re there as a result of public elections. If they’re content to use taxpayer dollars to settle personal cases of misconduct, they should also be content with being voted out of office immediately come the sequential election.

Taxpayers should be supporting legislation that stifles or bans altogether the use of

taxpayer funds to settle personal matters, like making public these settlements or setting up committees specifically designed to examine conduct.

This kind of legislation would expressly ban the use of public funds to settle private matters, including sexual misconduct settlements. The idea that legislators can dip into campaign funds and taxes to pay their legal fees and penalties is a gross perversion of taxpayergovernment trust.

Taxes off the top of a relatively small college student paycheck are bad enough; using them to settle personal offenses is another matter entirely that should not be tolerated or legal.

Liberal arts are just as important as STEM fields Leta McWilliams @LetaMcWilliams

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

As our society grows more and more technologically savvy, some people seem to think that liberal arts degrees are becoming less valuable. This could not be more wrong. Liberal arts degrees are just as valuable as any other degree, especially right now.

For many years, people have been advocating against majoring in liberal arts, stating that liberal arts degrees aren’t as valuable. In 2016 Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin suggested students receiving certain liberal arts degrees should not receive state funding for their college education, his reason being that their degrees aren’t beneficial.

In March, the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point planned to cut 13 liberal arts majors from their curriculum and received backlash from students, faculty and alumni.

However, the problem isn’t that liberal arts students aren’t learning as much or dealing with rigorous material. The problem is there isn’t an easy way to qualify and rank what they’re learning.

STEM majors deal with more fact-based learning, while liberal arts majors analyze, critique and expand on ideas where there are many possible answers.

Liberal arts students are getting extremely valuable educations. These students are learning how to think critically, expand their imaginations and engaging in learning that will help our society continue to grow.

Even the people who are most influential in the technology industry believe the arts and humanities are valuable and attribute much of their success to having degrees in liberal arts.

Steve Jobs said, “It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not

enough — that it’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our hearts sing.” It’s not just the computer science and engineering students that push the world of technology, it’s also the imagination and the critical thinking that comes from the arts.

There will always need to be a balance between the sciences and the arts because we would not be able to move forward without the two. To belittle one and say it’s not necessary to teach or it isn’t as valuable as the other would put a halt to human progress.

Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Díaz spoke on behalf of the humanities. “You can take all the engineering and computer classes you want, but I can tell you that what consistently helps us understand what it means to be human, and offers us spaces where we can contemplate the improvement of that condition, has always been the humanities and the arts. And so therefore it’s absolutely essential.”

Liberal arts cannot be undervalued because it is essential to understanding humanity as a whole. Science and technology fields are preoccupied with the question of whether something can be done, and how. Liberal arts may ask if something should be done, and why. These things cannot exist without each other.

Liberal arts students are also learning a valuable skill that will always be necessary to have – they are learning to communicate through writing.

It doesn’t matter the industry, writing is an extremely valuable skill to have. Whether it’s creating a website, selling a product or even just communicating with other employees at the same work place, people will always need to write and to write well.

In order to get a job, one must be able to creatively and accurately represent themselves on paper in a way that’s appealing to employers. Writing allows you to explain complex ideas and extend your thinking beyond a single thought. Writing is what makes your thinking visible

to others, and without having this skill many will falter before they’re even able to start.

Liberal arts students are learning this skill that many other majors are only touching on through their composition classes.

UCLA Research Professor Mike Rose stated that “many young people come to university able to summarize the events in a news story or write a personal response to a play. . . . But they have considerable trouble with what has come to be called ‘critical literacy:’ framing an argument or taking someone else’s argument apart (and) synthesizing different points of view.”

Liberal arts students are gaining critical thinking and evaluative skills that are necessary to push our society forward and we cannot belittle their education just because it isn’t a mathematics based curriculum. The technology industry may be the future, but liberal arts are timeless.

To treat PTSD, try CBD instead of prescription drugs Savannah Orth @SavannahOrth

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.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a psychiatric disorder that occurs in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. Many veterans, after returning from combat, have PTSD. There were about 2.7 million American veterans in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Out of those 2.7 million, 5 to 20 percent of veterans who did not seek treatment had PTSD, and 50 percent of those who sought out treatment had PTSD. Another startling statistic is that on average, 22 veterans commit suicide every single day.

To combat these high levels of depression, suicide and PTSD, veterans are prescribed prescription drugs. Two of the most commonly prescribed are sertraline (Zoloft) and paroxetine

(Paxil) which are the only two FDA-approved drugs used to treat PTSD. While commonly prescribed, these prescription drugs actually cause many other symptoms.

Sertraline, one of the two most commonly prescribed drugs for PTSD, is an antidepressant: a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Sertraline has side effects ranging from the common – dizziness, nausea, and decreased sex drive – to the extreme – fevers, hallucinations, seizures and breathing difficulties.

Recently, there has been a push to replace pharmaceuticals with harmful side effects with cannabis. The cannabis plant includes at least 113 different cannabinoids. The two most common cannabinoids are CBD and THC. Studies have shown CBD to have much fewer side effects than prescription alternatives, with a 2017 study showing only tiredness, diarrhea and changes in appetite and weight. THC’s side effects are similarly minor, with only dry eyes, dry mouth and increased appetite.

With such a drastic difference between the side effects from prescription drugs versus cannabis, it is clear why

more people are working toward replacing over the counter pills with cannabis.

Unfortunately, many veterans taking these antidepressants are also being prescribed opioids to help with their physical pain. This combination is extremely harmful. The FDA reported that using these drugs in combination with each other depressed the central nervous system and has caused comas and even death.

The biggest side effect of taking prescription painkillers, which is often not mentioned by the pharmaceutical companies, is the risk of accidentally overdosing. 25 veterans die every single day from an accidental opioid overdose. In comparison, there has not been a single death, by a veteran or civilian, due to overdosing on cannabis. Not a single death.

Luckily, there are people in the cannabis industry who are aware of this difference in both side effects and mortality rates, and are doing something about it.

While there are multiple people, companies and organizations working towards providing all of society with the benefits of a natural medicine, one organization in particular has been heavily involved

with the veteran community specifically.

The organization Veterans for Cannabis avidly works to replace opioids with cannabis.

They have done so by teaming up with Medicinal Genomics and Potent LTD in order for veterans to gain access to genetically certified DNA sequenced cannabis strains. Veterans for Cannabis have created this program with 3 phases: Phase one is providing a legal option for all 50 states, which means providing a product with little to no THC. To this end, they provide a CBD oil paired with a clear dosing schedule and bottles that are easily measured and accurately dosed.

Veterans using this product are able to track their progress, which the Veterans for Cannabis database can then record and turn over to the government in the hopes of implementing a legislative change that allows veterans all over the country to have access to medical cannabis.

Phases two and three involve getting the properly sequenced DNA and certified cannabis strains into both recreational and medical dispensaries across the country. This product allows veterans to know they are getting the exact same medicine every

time they purchase this specific strain.

One of the criticisms of using cannabis as medicine is the inability to know and have a consistent dosage every time. By having a certified product and specific instructions, Veterans for Cannabis is ensuring that just like a prescription drug, the cannabis oil will always be a precise and dependable dosage for safe and natural relief from PTSD. The combination of SSRIs and opioids is dangerous, and the side effects can be extreme. By replacing this treatment regimen with CBD products, a veteran can have one safe, natural product that alleviates both the physical and mental pain from PTSD. If you are a veteran or know someone who is, please look into the benefits of cannabis as opposed to opioids and SSRIs. Twenty-two deaths due to suicide, and 25 due to accidental drug overdose every single day is both staggering and unacceptable.

Medicinal cannabis is helping and will continue to help save veterans’ lives.

Ditch indoor tanning, look after skin health Michelle Fredrickson @mfredrickson42

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

I got the worst sunburn of my life within one week of moving to Colorado.

It was sunny, but I told myself I was just going to be outside for an hour or so. No need to put on all that sunblock, right?

Wrong.

The altitude and the intensity of the sun gave me the only thirddegree sunburn I’ve ever had, and it is not an experience I ever want to repeat. That burn was not only extraordinarily painful, it also increased my risk of skin cancer.

To that end, I am now very careful about wearing sunblock – a habit all students should pick up before they go through something like I did.

CSU students should get

ready for summer by protecting the health of their skin to guard against skin cancer. They should do this by wearing sunscreen and avoiding indoor tanning.

One American dies from skin cancer every hour, and one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, according to the EPA. The most dangerous type of skin cancer is melanoma, which accounts for only 3 percent of skin cancer cases, but 75 percent of skin cancer deaths.

Melanoma is also the second most common form of cancer for those in the college age range. It is very important students start thinking about protecting their skin health now.

Colorado’s altitude puts us closer to the sun, which increases the risk, said Chase Therkelsen, the sun safety specialist at the CSU Health Network. Colorado ranks near the top in new cases of melanoma by state.

Sun exposure causes skin cancer through ultraviolet radiation. Rays of this UV radiation damage the DNA of skin cells, and when that damage reaches the genes that control skin cell growth, cancer develops.

There are several ways this UV radiation gets to our skin.

The one that is most dangerous is the sunburn, but some of the UV radiation that penetrates our skin doesn’t actually do so in the form of a burn. Different types of UV rays have different effects on skin – one type aging and causing wrinkles, another type causing sunburns.

It’s very important to wear sunscreen to protect against these rays and preserve the skin for years to come. Even on cloudy days when it may not seem like sunscreen is necessary, it’s still important to wear because the clouds can actually amplify the rays, increasing UV exposure.

Even if there isn’t a sunburn to show for it, the radiation is still there. Interestingly, this effect can be seen in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, three states that are famously cloudy, having higher melanoma rates than even Colorado.

Too much sun without proper protection can cause skin cancer.

Another side effect of too much sun exposure is a tan. It’s sad, but the tan everyone strives for in summer is actually not good for

your health.

Tans are the body’s response to too much sun, trying to compensate for the increased radiation. In that way, they are a sign that the body has been exposed to too much sun.

“Think of a tan like a full-body scab,” Therkelsen said.

To that end, indoor tanning is one of the worst things a person can do for their skin. Tanning beds produce UV radiation that penetrates deep through the skin and causes cellular damage.

Spending 20 minutes in a tanning bed is equivalent to spending three unprotected hours in the sun, Therkelsen said.

It doesn’t provide a ‘base tan’ to fight sunburn, either. Those who indoor tan are actually more likely to report getting sunburned.

Indoor tanning is essentially purposeful exposure to radiation that is known to be harmful and carcinogenic for the purpose of slightly altering one’s natural skin pigment for a few months. A tan for summer months is not worth a diagnosis of skin cancer.

Avoiding indoor tanning is a very important thing students can do to protect themselves,

especially if their apartment complex offers a tanning bed as these do not have to be regulated to the same standards as tanning businesses, Therkelsen said.

Other things students can do include wearing a broadspectrum sunscreen, reapplying it appropriately, wearing sun-protective clothing like long-sleeves and hats, wearing sunglasses and finding shade and shelter.

Some people worry about the harmful effects of certain chemicals in sunscreen like oxybenzone, but the scientific literature on this topic is mixed. If this is a worry, it’s possible to buy sunscreen that doesn’t contain this particular chemical, or use other sun blockers like zinc oxide – but the proven negative health effects of prolonged sun exposure far outweigh the possible minor negative health effects of oxybenzone.

“Using any type of sunscreen is almost always a better alternative to not using sunscreen at all,” said Therkelsen.

SPORTS Thursday, April 26, 2018

Superstar >> from page 1 It was the culmination of a relationship nearly four months in the making, one that developed from high fives and head nods to tight embraces and life-long gifts.

Bryce and his dad Lance, who graduated CSU in 2005, first met Gallup during the second home game of the season against Abilene Christian. OCR Field Club members, the Krisls arrived to the field-level porch on the west sideline two hours prior to the game.

Bryce found his spot on the corner of the porch, right where the players run out for warmups, and waited. Surely enough, Gallup noticed Bryce, clad in green and gold and wearing a CSU football helmet, on his way to the field.

“It all started with Michael. He was the first one who came over and said a quick hello and gave him a pat on his helmet,” Lance said. “And then he kept doing it. I started thinking to myself maybe it’s his pregame ritual or he’s just a really nice guy, whatever it may be. But he kept coming and Bryce would always say, ‘Where’s number 4?’”

What began as a simple gesture towards a young fan expanded into so much more throughout the football season.

Lance and Bryce made it a habit to not only attend all the home games, but arrive early enough to greet the players and stay into the wee hours of the morning. In some cases, that meant arriving back home in Littleton after 3 a.m.

Throughout the turbulent season, Gallup’s relationship with Bryce never faltered. Days after the Rams’ loss to Boise State in the

penultimate game of the regular season, Lance received a message from Gallup with a special request.

He said that Bryce was his good luck charm throughout the season and wanted to reward him with his jersey from the Idaho Potato Bowl.

Lance joyfully accepted the offer, promising that Bryce would keep the jersey clean and give it back after the Senior Day game against San Jose State. But it wasn’t just a one-day gift. Gallup wanted Bryce to keep the precious memorabilia as his own.

“So we showed up to that senior game and I figured he had a bunch of family and he would quickly drop it off and run onto the field,” Lance said. “But he came out and talked to (Bryce), it was a good 10, 15-minute conversation.

Bryce is that kid that by the end of it he was like, ‘Hey, do you want to come to my birthday party?’”

In no time at all, the jersey became a second trademark of Bryce’s along with his CSU helmet. More importantly, the gift cemented his friendship with Gallup.

“Michael is very nice to me, he’s my buddy,” Bryce said. “He shares his Rams jersey with me and I love to wear it around the house.”

Gallup and CSU football aren’t the only Rams that Bryce grew close to during the athletic season.

He and Lance made the familiar drive up to Fort Collins for nearly every home basketball game that the CSU men’s team played.

During those games, the same outgoing and charismatic 5-yearold that caught the attention of Gallup developed a similar relationship with forward Nico Carvacho.

Prior to the start of games, Bryce made his way down to the court to receive those coveted high

fives from players. The more he waved, the more he noticed the 6-foot-11 Carvacho waving back with a friendly grin.

“About halfway through the season, Bryce said, ‘You know that guy who always points me out? I want to tell him good game,’ even though they lost,” Lance said. “So at the end of every game he’d run down there and it turned into something more. Nico would come over and give him a little hug after every game and say, ‘Thanks for being here.’”

During the worst basketball season in nearly a decade at CSU, that presence and fandom allowed many players to persevere through the turmoil.

“Last year was tough and he stood by us,” Carvacho said.

“He was there every game, always looking for a high five or something. Every time I saw him, I had to stop and just talk to him and let him know I appreciate him.”

Growing up the son of a basketball coach, Carvacho always found himself around players he looked up to. The experience allowed him to recognize the importance of building a relationship with young fans, something he said means the world to him.

When Carvacho announced his decision to consider other schools this offseason, Bryce began mounting a case for his favorite hooper to stay in Fort Collins. During the annual Ram Jam event that gives young fans the chance to interact with CSU players, Bryce made it a mission to deliver his message to Carvacho.

He ran past the long line of kids waiting to see the basketball players and beelined into the arms of Carvacho. He didn’t care about the autograph and instead wanted to know if his favorite player would

be back next year.

“He was telling me, ‘Please stay, please stay!’” Carvacho said.

“That hit hard, for sure. It’s pretty cool to see that.”

Now with both offseasons underway, the Krisl’s turn towards what’s next in their relationships with the players. Though it took some time, Bryce understands that Gallup will not be at CSU next year and will instead head to the NFL. “I really hope Michael goes and plays for the Miami Dolphins,” Bryce said. “They have really cool colors and a cool helmet. My daddy said that we will go visit Michael and watch him play for his new team in the NFL, so I hope it’s the Dolphins.”

As for basketball season, Bryce can hardly contain his excitement for the season to begin, even though that won’t happen for another six-plus months. He told his dad he’s ready to watch practices and all things CSU basketball, whatever it takes to see Carvacho on the court again.

The magnitude of Bryce’s relationship with his idols goes back to that dreary night in Albuquerque. Following the bowl game loss, Lance knew Gallup was upset and encouraged Bryce to not bother him. But again, Bryce was adamant about telling his friend what was on his mind. “‘I just want to go tell him it’s okay,’” Bryce told his dad.

“That pulled at the heart strings a little so I stood back and Bryce ran up to him, didn’t even tell him, the first thing he did was just give him a hug,”Lance said.

“When he came back I asked him what he said, and he was like, ‘I just said good game. Told him don’t be sad, you played hard.’ That was probably the best thing he could have told him.”

by Colorado State wide receiver Michael Gallup. Bryce has been attending CSU home games since he was 2 months old.

The interaction, and those that followed, reminded everyone that it’s always more than a game.

“That’s why we play this sport,” Gallup said. “I know it is for me because when I see a little kid and he’s sitting there wearing my jersey or he’s just sitting there rooting for me, that’s exciting to me. That just makes you want to go a lot harder, you just want to do good for him. It makes you excited, it makes you want to smile every time you come by.”

And when players realize that, the true power of sport is unleashed.

“Seeing them take the time for a 5-year-old, who as far as having a conversation with, it’s pretty basic.

But they treated him like he was the most important person in that stadium and that’s what I think is a special thing about CSU athletics,” Krisl said.

Pressure is on for Broncos’ John Elway to reverse NFL draft bust trend

By Kyle Fredrickson The Denver Post

John Elway has spent the past few months pouring over player evaluations as he gets ready for the NFL draft, breaking down every detail, guessing who will be taken at picks one through four and examining his options at No. 5 overall.

But what happens when the Broncos general manager turns the draft microscope on ... himself?

“You try to learn from the mistakes that you make,” Elway said.

The next wave of Broncos will be chosen this weekend, starting Thursday night when the NFL draft’s first round will be held in Arlington, Texas. In the wake of a 5-11 season with no playoff appearance for a second consecutive year, the pressure is

on Elway to restock a roster that has numerous holes. That’s no small task – especially considering how Elway has fared with his picks high in the draft the past few years.

Denver has selected three players in each of the first three rounds in the past three years and among those nine Broncos, no stars have yet emerged.

“Drafting is tough because there are so many factors that go into it, and so many hidden things that you really can’t see that you hope come out in players – background and character that you find that enable these players to make the step to the NFL and have successful careers,” Elway said. “We’re always evaluating ourselves and looking at guys that we’ve drafted and have been successful, look at their numbers that way, and go back and look

at the reports three or four years later to see if there is anything that we missed.”

There are no simple reasons for the Broncos’ high-draft misfires in recent years. Injuries stymied the development of 2017 third-round receiver Carlos Henderson (thumb), 2015 firstround linebacker Shane Ray (wrist), 2015 third-round tight end Jeff Heuerman (knee) and several others. Quarterback Paxton Lynch, chosen in the first round, failed to capitalize on two opportunities to earn the starting job and is now a backup behind Case Keenum, a free agent signing.

Second-round offensive tackle Ty Sambrailo was traded to Atlanta after just seven career starts in Denver.

As the shine from Denver’s 2015 Super Bowl fades away,

the need to find new high-end draft talent is imperative. Where might the Broncos turn? Several national draft analysts weighed in on what Denver should do with the No. 5 pick.

Mel Kiper Jr., ESPN: UCLA QB Josh Rosen – “Rosen could battle Case Keenum to start in 2018. He’s NFL-ready – if he stays healthy.”

Tom Fornelli, CBS Sports: N.C. State DE Bradley Chubb – “It’s possible the Broncos could go with Josh Rosen if they like him, but I believe it’s been (Josh) Allen that’s always interested them (at quarterback). With him gone the Broncos add another pass-rusher alongside Von Miller.”

Danny Kelly, The Ringer: Notre Dame OG Quenton Nelson – “Signing Case Keenum to a twoyear, $36 million deal over the

offseason showed that Elway is in win-now mode – and priority No. 1 is getting better on offense. Nelson is a plug-and-play lineman who would not only provide a boost to the team’s run game, but help give Keenum a clean pocket from which to throw.”

The last time Denver held a top-five pick, the Broncos selected linebacker Von Miller No. 2 overall in 2011 – and were rewarded with six Pro Bowl seasons, and counting. However, Elway has not drafted a Pro Bowler since then.

The opportunity to land another franchise-changing player at No. 5 awaits.

“My job to figure out what’s best for the organization,” Elway said. “Not only now, but longterm.”

ROCKIES

CSU alumna Jenny Cavnar makes history in broadcast booth

By Tyler Johnson @TylerGjohnson20

On Monday night, Colorado State and CTV alumna Jenny Cavnar became only the third woman in history to do the play-by-play for a Major League Baseball broadcast.

The moment was made even more special by the fact Cavnar worked for the San Diego Padres, the Rockies’ opponent, before joining what is now AT&T Sports Net in 2012.

“I got the opportunity to cover a game in the spring and knew my chance was coming.”

JENNY CAVNAR AT&T SPORTS NET REPORTER

“It was exciting and nerve-racking at the same time,” Cavnar said. “I got the opportunity to cover a game in the spring and knew my chance was coming.”

In the first inning, Cavnar got a chance to share her own version of the home run call.

When third baseman Nolan Arenado hit a line-drive shot to left field, Cavnar exclaimed,

“Fire up the fountain!” The centerfield fountains are an in-stadium tradition at Coors Field to celebrate a home run.

Cavnar explained the origins of her call.

“It started off as a tweet a couple days before the game,” Cavnar said. “We joked around in the office about it and I thought it would be a great time to use it.”

Many have called Cavnar a pioneer for women in broadcasting, but she acknowledged that the work of all the women before her have given her the opportunities. She went on to say she is constantly inspired by all the women who work in sports broadcasting at all levels.

In her six years with the Rockies, Cavnar has held a variety of roles but has been the consistent host of the preand post-game show for several years, becoming a fan favorite.

Her love of sports has stuck with her ever since her youth when she watched baseball with her dad.

Several MLB players also reached out to Cavnar via Twitter to congratulate her, including former Rockies outfielders Dexter Fowler and Ryan Spilborghs, the latter of whom now works with Cavnar.

Spilborghs joined Cavnar in the booth Monday and expressed the importance of the event.

During her time at CSU, Cavnar was part of the CTV staff and played on the women’s lacrosse team. She has said that CSU and Fort Collins will always hold a special place in her heart and she is excited about attending football games in the new on-campus stadium.

CLUB SPORTS

Pitchers ready to lead CSU baseball against CU

By Sergio Santistevan @TheRealsSergio

The Colorado State club baseball pitchers have often been relied on to carry the young team at times this season. This weekend will be no different as the Rams will face a high-pressure situation heading into the final weekend of the season.

CSU’s season has been a rollercoaster. They started their season by getting swept by both Lamar Community College and Trinidad Junior College. The Rams then lost a three-game series to the University of Nebraska; however, the lowest point of the season came during their Spring Break trip to Arizona. The Rams went on to lose all five games versus four Arizona schools in a span of a few days, but the team never folded.

Since Arizona, the team has never looked back, accumulating an 11-game winning streak led by strong hitting and experienced pitching.

“We had a rough start to the season, but I think it made us

closer and better as a team and we were able to turn our season around,” said closing pitcher, Brad Johnson.

That 11-game win streak may not matter if CSU ends ups on the losing side this weekend.

CSU will take on its rival, the University of Colorado, in a threegame series to determine the Mid-America West Conference Champion. Starting pitchers Phelan Castellano and Johnson would not want it any other way.

“Our team is really comfortable right now,” Johnson said. “We’ve swept our last three conference series and I think we’ve gotten better during each of those series so we’re expecting to keep the winning streak alive this weekend.”

Johnson and Castellano have both played in high-stake games before. Both pitchers have experience in close conference games, The National Club Baseball Association Regional Playoffs and World Series. This experience is something they hope gives them an advantage.

“This is the first year that

CU has actually been pretty decent, which means they are going to most likely press in stressful innings,” Castellano said. “Considering we were in this same situation last year, we already know how to deal with this adversity and what it takes to win in times like this.”

Yet, the Rams are not underestimating the Buffaloes.

Some would say CU has overachieved this season, but the Rams refuse to give in to that notion and are expecting a challenge on the diamond.

“CU is going to play us hard,” Castellano said. “I’m really looking forward to this series because it’s the next opportunity to bring home a Rocky Mountain Showdown win for the school and the CSU community.”

Before the series gets underway, both pitchers say there are improvements that need to be made. Castellano says the team likes to come out strong on Saturdays, but struggles to get going on Sundays, which is something he hopes to change.

Johnson wants the pitching staff

to control the game defensively, throw more first-pitch strikes and limit the number of walks and mental errors.

History sides with CSU this weekend, as CU has never beat CSU in a series. If history ends up being broken, both pitchers expressed how proud they would be of their team for overcoming earlier season struggles and getting to this point, though neither Johnson nor Castellano

are expecting that outcome.

Johnson, possibly facing his last weekend as a player, only envisions his season ending with a “dog pile in North Carolina.”

One way or another, each team will get the chance to prove who wants it more, the winner being able to leave City Park Field as Mid-America West Conference Champions at the end.

ATHLETICS

Leaders of CSU athletics are on a path to something special Luke Zalhmann @lukezahlmann

Moby Arena, given its name from the whale-like curvature of the venue, has a golden opportunity to bring in revenue for Colorado State University beyond a unique name, as proven by the football stadium namingrights deal.

Colorado State athletics made headlines last week prior to their Green and Gold spring game with the announcement of a new stadium-naming rights deal with Public Service Credit Union, one that will net nearly $40 million over the next 15 years.

One of the most lucrative deals in the nation, CSU found a way to allow Sonny Lubick, Vice President of Community Outreach for PSCU and former CSU football coach, to once again put his stamp on the program, after naming rights for the field itself were given to him as well. A total north of $50 million for the naming rights package, Director of Athletics Joe Parker has brought revenue in beyond the wildest dreams of Rams faithful.

What about Moby?

Founded over 50 years ago, the arena could use a revitalization, of which naming rights could help.

As a still well-conditioned arena, the building itself should stay put, remaining a mainstay on the campus. Imagine what a multimillion-dollar endorsement could add to the facility.

Improvements to the interior of the stadium could go a long way to putting it near the level of the CSU on-campus stadium. Having already proposed a party porch, though not set in stone yet, the University is already looking to expand the entertainment value set in the arena.

Another proposed addition to the arena is the refurbishing of locker rooms for various teams, already being planned by Parker.

The money received from a name-rights deal would go a long way to take the modifications a step beyond the original plan, giving the teams of CSU excellent conditions pre- and post-game in their prospective locker rooms.

An upgrade to the locker rooms and facilities would not only help current athletes, but future recruiting endeavors as well.

A refinement of the scoreboards present in the arena would be a great addition for fans of the program. Though smaller scoreboards display stats throughout the game in adjacent

corners of the arena, an addition of the same scoreboards in each empty corner would be a welcome addition for fans in the stands.

With a diversity of age groups that adorn the arena seating each game, a closer, more readily visible scoreboard could go a long way for those with vision issues.

The expansion of their reach for fans could also aid the University in hosting further large events similar to the concerts held such as Ludacris and The Rolling Stones. The addition of more events with the magnitude of some of their past events could add more revenue for the University beyond what they are already bringing in, furthering their abilities to provide athletes with the best facilities possible.

All of these additions and more would become possible in a shorter time span with the addition of a naming-rights deal for the arena.

A fellow Mountain West school with comparable facilities, the University of New Mexico, recently agreed to a deal with Dreamstyle Remodeling for $10 million over 10 years for both the football and basketball stadiums.

This deal can serve as a benchmark for CSU in their search for a deal in naming rights for the arena.

If CSU can locate a local company that can take over the

naming rights for the arena, they could bring in more than $70 million dollars to the university over the next 15 years. Few schools throughout the nation would be able to rival this level of partnership. Their rebrand of their men’s basketball program under the tutelage of recently hired Niko Medved could go handin-hand with the rebranding of their celebrated Moby Arena.

The large sum could go a long way towards putting CSU at the top of the conversation for inclusion in a larger conference as well. Moving to a larger conference would benefit CSU’s

programs by infusing tens of millions of dollars into existing athletics programs. Having been denied their inclusion in the Big 12 recently, the Rams could put their stamp on a resume for a Power Five conference that would be hard for the nation to ignore.

Parker and his affiliates have done a masterful job accruing revenue from naming rights with the new on-campus stadium, a trend, that if expanded to their other major venue, could put CSU in the graces of some of the largest schools in the nation.

COLLEGE

8 tips for finding a job after graduation

By Nate Day @NateMDay

We’re getting dangerously close to graduation season, and many of us will be bowing out in May with our collegiate careers coming to close.

It’s a stressful time for those that are graduating. Some seniors have jobs, but many actually don’t. According to a CNBC study, about 70 percent of college graduates don’t have a gig lined up for after graduation.

In order to help our senior readers out, we’ve created a list of eight tips for soon-to-be graduates: Prepare to move out!

Believe it or not, your lease is going to end soon. Aside

from packing up everything you own, remember to fix up your place too. Fill holes in the wall with toothpaste, flip your couch cushions and dust your windowsills so that just maybe you can get some of that security deposit back.

Visit the Career Center.

One of the best ways to find yourself in the 30 percent of students that do find jobs is to polish up your resume and cover letter at the Career Center.

They’ll even help you find a job via Handshake and prepare you for an interview.

Clean up your social media.

Posting funny things on Instagram is all fun and games until a potential employer Googles your name and sees

you toking up on a public profile. The best thing you can do here is to get rid of the notso-professional posts – it’s as easy as that (pro tip: this applies to everyone really, not just seniors).

Network, network, network.

The first job you get out of college isn’t going to be your dream job, and eventually, you’ll want to quit. Get on LinkedIn, and hit up some alumni.

Connect with hiring managers.

Get recommendations from your bosses, teachers and friends. Do what you can to build a network for your future.

Perfect your portfolio.

No matter what type of job you’re looking for, it never hurts to showcase your work, even

if it’s just school assignments.

Weebly.com and Wix.com both offer free website building software that will allow you to design a website to your liking.

Actually attend your capstone.

Some people might think that their senior capstone course is a joke, but it’ll actually give you some really important tools for finding professional success after graduation.

Whether it’s portfolio prep or resume writing, the course is designed to help you, so go.

Save up.

This won’t exactly help you get a job, but it’s a good idea regardless. Real life is expensive, and it’s common for seniors to spend (maybe too much) money on alcohol. Hey, being able to

go to the bars with your friends is great, but if you limit that to once per weekend, you might not have to live in a dump of an apartment when you graduate.

Relax.

This is probably annoying coming from a senior freaking out about post-grad plans, but someday, something will work out for you. It’s difficult to see your peers accept amazing job offers or be accepted into grad school when you’ll likely be stuck at home for the summer, but keep on chuggin’ along and applying for those jobs.

Someday, something will connect.

If all else fails, marry rich.

MUSIC

5 albums Pitchfork rated extremely wrong

By Jonny Rhein @jonnyrhein

A Pitchfork review can make or break the success of a record.

The online music magazine Pitchfork does a lot for the indie music scene. Many bands who may have never had a voice have been heard because of Pitchfork’s promotion. On the other hand, they’re responsible for headlines that no one should care about, or biased reviews based on what is cool in the music scene at the time.

While they’ve nailed it with some of their reviews, others have been just plain wrong.

Wilco - “A Ghost is Born” Pitchfork’s rating: 6.6 The flowery, Beatles-esque side of Wilco left with Jay Bennett.

In its place stood Jeff Tweedy’s personal flaws executed through sharp guitar noise that apparently wasn’t good enough for Rob Mitchum. “AGIB” sounds like Yankee Hotel Foxtrot had a panic attack. I mean that in the best way possible.

“Muzzle of Bees” represents a side of Wilco not seen on YHT. Every note and click is perfect on this Jim O’Rourke inspired song.

Wilco takes their deconstructive approach to songwriting a step further, proving again on “AGIB” that their creative potential is unlimited, and 6.6 does not do this album justice.

The Mars Volta - “De-Loused in the Comatorium” Pitchfork: 4.9 The way Pitchfork has picked on The Mars Volta since the release of “De-loused in the Comatorium” has always rubbed me the wrong way. In one section of Brent DiCrescenzo’s review,

he writes in the perspective of a person who likes the album and then tears it down, like he knows its greatness but plays devil’s advocate just to sound hip.

His “biggest complaint is that (the album) just isn’t fun,” but what follows in his review is exactly what makes the album fun: stupid, mystifying lyrics that make no sense, the energy, speed and an array of studio tricks.

DiCrescenzo’s review screams denial.

Father John Misty - “Fear Fun” Pitchfork: 7.3 I know what you’re thinking: “What’s so bad about a 7.3 rating?” Sure, it’s a decent score, but when Misty’s less impressive sophomore album “I Love You, Honeybear” receives an 8.8, you know there’s a problem.

On his first album as Father John Misty, Tillman scraps the dry, slow acoustic thing for druginduced entertainment. Every song is its own world. Even the filler “O I Long to Feel Your Arms Around Me” has just enough substance to not skip.

Inhisreview,StephenDeusner criticizes the rhythm on “Fear Fun” for being “too contained” while tracks on “Honeybear” are some of Misty’s most contained songs ever. “Strange Encounter” sounds incredibly stiff compared to what it could have been. The song sounds uniform all the way through with barely any changes between verses besides one guitar solo. With such a strong chorus, there was so much potential that went to waste. You could say the same for “Honeybear” as a whole.

Despite what Pitchfork says, these albums deserve more credit.

Bombay Bicycle Club - “Flaws”

Pitchfork: 4.0 In Pitchfork’s short and unfair review, their reason for the low rating on “Flaws” is because BBC released an acoustic album as their second album. I agree it’s a bold move, but why should that matter? Shouldn’t these reviews be about the music? Maybe a 4.0 would be appropriate if “Flaws” sounded like Pitchfork’s poster child Car Seat Headrest, but it’s actually a beautiful album.

“Flaws” strips BBC to its bare bones. You can really hear the potential of these young guys back in their early 20s. They establish themselves as some of the best guitar players and songwriters in the indie music scene.

Kings of Leon - “Youth and Young Manhood” Pitchfork: 4.2 Remember when Kings of Leon was cool? I do. Pitchfork never has.

People mostly know them for “Use Somebody” and “Sex on Fire,” but before Bono poisoned KOL, they surprisingly released three solid albums.

“Youth” encompassed the heart of the ‘70s: long hair, big mustaches and tight bell bottoms.

The raw, distorted guitars, Caleb Followill’s shrill screech and booze-fueled lyrics made “Youth” fresh even though it sounded 30 years late. They brought back much needed rock and roll in a time when garbage like Puddle of Mudd’s “She Hates Me” took over the radio.

If Bob Dylan says “Trani” is “a hell of a song,” I’m damn right “Youth” deserves way higher than 4.2.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

Students learn how to fail on stage with Rams Improv

By Carson Lipe @carsonlipe

Improv is an outlet for performers which either has them making their friends laugh, improving on their acting skills or publicly failing.

RAMS IMPROV ■ Next performance will take

place at the Bas Bleu Theatre Company on April 30 at 7:30 p.m.

The Colorado State University Rams Improv members cast for, act and direct improvisational comedy. They even teach students how to fail on stage.

Sonny Walls, a senior theater major at CSU and a co-creator of Rams Improv, started the group with Ryan Montagne, a junior studying chemical engineering.

Although they had a passion for improv at the time of starting the student organization, the creators didn’t know exactly where to start to get the group registered. Ultimately, it was easier than they thought but the process was longer than expected, Walls said.

Even with the long process of creating the team, Walls thinks that improv adds great value to her student life.

“Literally, the reason I do

improv is to make my friends laugh,” Walls said. “I’m always trying to f*ck with them, get a rise and make the scene funny.”

Although the group is small, interested parties are still encouraged to audition.

The creators have had plenty of experience with students who have little background in improv since the group’s inception in 2016.

“There wasn’t any sort of improv training, so we were bringing people in who had never done improv before,” Walls said.

“Some people didn’t know what they were doing, but they had the right mentality.”

Some had little prior improv experience, but were selected for the group because “they had the right mindset to become a dynamic component of the team,” Montagne said.

Even for experienced improv performers, the thought of failing on stage can be intimidating, but the creators don’t see it as much of an issue.

“We try to teach people that if they’re failing and they feel like they’re messing up they’re going to fail in a big fiery ball of sh*t,” Walls said. “Instead of trying to cover it up, just fail.”

Montagne tells people to “just own” their failure, something that Walls thought was “pretty relaxing and freeing” when she has been in the face of failure.

Working improv into school

life can be challenging, but Walls thinks that it is certainly worth the effort.

“To come to improv after a long day of classes or work, it’s sometimes exhausting and you’re like ‘I don’t know if I can do this, I don’t have any juice left,’” Walls said. “But you get there and everyone has a little bit left for improv and it’s freeing.”

Montagne offered a different reason for why he values improv.

“Auditions will be in late september, but before that we usually run 2-3 weeks of workshops to introduce people to improv before auditions.”

RYAN MONTAGNE JUNIOR, CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

“For me, it’s the free expression component,” Montagne said. “So often in our society we are taught to see failure as a bad thing but in improv, nothing is wrong.”

To Montagne, improv is a form of cathartic release and as he puts it, “I feel better after every rehearsal.”

COLLEGE

5 ways CSU can improve its academic atmosphere

By Nick Botkin @dudesosad

Sometimes, it might seem like school is about anything but academics.

Football games. Extracurricular activities. Parties. All are to be expected. But as a venerable land grant institution with 250-plus programs, there are a multitude of ways to emphasize the discourse of academic ideas on campus.

TILT INFORMATION ■ The Institute for Learning and

Teaching

■ 801 Oval Drive ■ 970-491-3132

Place less emphasis on football Sometimes it seems like we get caught up in football fever. Our new football stadium dominates the campus skyline. Said stadium is reminiscent of a modern-day coliseum, except the gladiators are football players tearing each other apart. On top of all that, our football team even has its own Twitter page.

There is a time and a place for games. But emphasizing a healthy balance is vital. If nothing else, perhaps it is time to start assigning Steve Almond’s excellent manifesto, “Against Football,” in English classes.

Reform the grading system As a state-run institution, there is limited wiggle room for a full-blown reformation.

However, there are still steps that instructors can take to place less emphasis on grading.

Instructors can emphasize the more intellectual goals of their courses. They can speak in terms of the broader exchange of ideas.

An emphasis on participation as opposed to numbers can be beneficial.

Some instructors might also consider employing the check-

plus/check-minus system for assignments. Varied courses, including some creative writing classes, employ this method. This move might reduce psychological pressure on fellow Rams.

Emphasize the real-world implications of academic programs Some might question the salience of classes to the so-called real world. Encouraging or even requiring students to apply these skills in a more hands-on manner can help dispel these notions, especially beyond campus.

Instructors can emphasize internships and other forms of community engagement.

This can also be advantageous to students contemplating the jungle that is the career world.

Emphasize academic resources via social media.

Colorado State University has a plethora of valuable resources such as the Writing Center and Morgan Library, along with the Institute for Learning and Teaching. In an age in which awareness is often shaped by social media, CSU should take advantage. Giving such academic resources Twitter or Facebook pages might just bolster academic support on campus.

And while Morgan Library does have a Twitter page, it could emphasize more library specific information, in addition to its plethora of fascinating images of the University’s storied past.

More campus-wide renovations In an era when it seems like construction is rampant around CSU, some buildings still seem decrepit. Cough, cough, Clark.

A good academic atmosphere requires pleasing aesthetics.

Would you study in a building that looks like a Stalinist torture chamber? Could you find positive uplift in a classroom that smells like a foot? Plus more full-scale renovation projects allow for better technology and other classroom resources.

CSU students to perform at electronic art festival

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

Editors note: Christian Johnson, one of the performing artists, was previously employed as a photographer for The Collegian.

Colorado State University art students are using electronic music to create images.

Four students in an electronic art class will perform at the Lafayette Electronic Art Festival on Friday, April 27 at 7 p.m. The students taking the Installation and Sonic Art course have created a collaborative art performance using various electronic sounds and instruments that explore the visualization of sound.

“It’s a really interesting course,” said Cheyenna Boley, a junior studying art. “Electronic art really tests your limits and gives you a new way of looking at things.”

“They’ve done some pretty significant things over the past semester that really lead to my decision to push them beyond the assignment.”

JASON BERNAGOZZI ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF ELECTRONIC ART, INSTRUCTS INSTALLATION AND SONIC ART

LEAF was created by David Fodel, a Colorado-based media artist, in an effort to educate the public about new electronic forms of art making, as well as the collaboration of sound, media and video. Although this festival has only been around for a couple of years, the artists who perform or showcase their work are well

respected in the art community.

“Part of the reason that they’re a part of the festival is that (Fodel) saw potential in them and wanted to give them an opportunity to show what they were doing, not just for a grade in class, but to show their work to the public as a relative cultural statement,” said Jason Bernagozzi, an assistant professor of electronic art who instructs the course.

The art is an improvised performance of the interactions of a drum, a synthesizer, a computer program that mimics a synthesizer and video game controls. A visual representation is created in response to the improvised music. Throughout the programming and practicing, the students learned how to collaborate their sounds together to create something melodious and unique.

“I hope they sort of get beyond the idea of equating sound art to music,” said Morgan Jones, a senior studying art. “I think our thing is still pretty musically based, so people can still be comfortable with it, but a lot of elements are not traditional in that sense. So people can be off put by it, but hopefully they’re still accepting.”

One of the more difficult parts of the performance is the improvisation. Because most of the members don’t have backgrounds in sound or music performance, the improvisation aspect was rough at first. As the rehearsals progressed, they further learned how each individuals’ music interacted with the rest.

“I think it’s cool to learn how to problem solve with a group and like learn how to work with each other, even if it is something you’re not really interested in, or aren’t very savvy with,” said Lexi

Art majors Christian Johnson, Cheyenna Boley, Lexi Caron and Morgan Jones rehearse for their electronic arts performance at the Lafyette Electronic Arts Festival, coming up on April 27 at 7 p.m.

Caron, a junior studying art. “It’s been really interesting to learn about it though because sound is so crucial in film and everything like that.”

At first for this project, the group wasn’t going to incorporate visuals, but Christian Johnson, a junior studying art who focuses on photography, felt like the visuals would be an important aspect of the piece because of his background in visual art.

“As a photographer and an artist, I felt like the visuals were needed,” Johnson said.

“I learned how to program in a new programming language, and I do want to do more interactive installations as well as

photography in the future.”

One of the more interesting instruments used in this performance are nostalgic video game controllers, which went out of fashion once people got into new digital media and programming.

“I’m trying to harken back to that style of music production and creation, and along with that I thought ‘What’s another thing that influences me?’ And, that’s video games,” Jones said. “So going back in time with the controllers and having a nostalgic feel of old consoles and the simplicity of them was important to me.”

With his students starting from minimal experience working with sound and electronic art in

this form to performing at a well respected festival, Bernagozzi is very proud of the work his four students have done “It’s kind of a big deal, and I don’t know if they understand it’s a big deal yet, but it is a big deal that a professor would actually put his name out there and really vouch for them, and bring this big curator in to look at their work,” Bernagozzi said. “They’ve done some pretty significant things over the past semester that really lead to my decision to push them beyond the assignment.”

EVENTS

FoCo Speaks Ciencia! to give Latina scientists a platform

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

Latina women are underrepresented in the science community.

Because of this, organizations 500 Women Scientists, Graduate Women in Science and the Poudre River Public Library District have teamed together to give six Latina women a platform to share their stories at “FoCo Speaks Ciencia!”

The event will happen on Friday, April 27 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Horse & Dragon Brewing Company.

“Really, they have a really diverse story set,” said Megan

Machmuller,oneoftheco-founders for the Northern Colorado 500 Women Scientists Pod and a post-doctoral natural resources scientist. “It’s not necessarily about their science in particular, but their personal journeys.”

The event will also feature live painting by local artist Armando Silva, a Greeley-based artist who was born in Mexico, who will create a visual representation of the women’s stories. By the end of the event, the organizations are looking to sell the painting to donate the money.

All donations made at the event will benefit CienciaPR, a women-led non-profit

organization that is working to transform science education in Puerto Rico.

FOCO SPEAKS CIENCIA! ■ Friday, April 27 from 6:30-8:30

p.m. at Horse & Dragon Brewery.

The 500 Women Scientists organization has “pods” or chapters all around the world, which host events they call “salons,” which are meant to facilitate conversation and hopefully lead to donations for CienciaPR. The Northern

Colorado Pod, founded by Machmuller, Elizabeth McCullagh and Jessica Metcalf, felt that this salon should have a positive impact on the local community and Puerto Rico, which led to the idea of featuring local Latina scientists.

Graduate Women in Science, according to their website, is committed to providing networking events, panels, and trainings for our members as well as engaging in advocacy efforts. Because of the similar goals of the two science groups 500 Women Scientists and Graduate Women in Science, as well as the support from the Poudre River

Public Library District, the three organizations teamed together to create this salon that focuses locally and internationally.

“What this event is really all about is initiating conversation, beyond just our science bubble and academic world, and exposing that to the rest of the community and also using communication tools like art and storytelling to be more effective,” Machmuller said.

“I think that we’re really looking to strengthen our community and at least create awareness and also to initiate good fruitful discussion.”
