Galaxy Queers drag show showcases student talent

By Haley Candelario @H_candelario98

The Galaxy Queers drag show could only be described as “out of this world” by co-chair Andy Auer.

The show, chaired by Auer and Delray Echohawk and hosted every semester by the student organization PRISM, featured student drag performers and professional drag performers in galactic getups Sunday evening.

The event drew a crowd of over a thousand and audience

Watch the video with the story online at: collegian.com members raised over 1,400 dollars for the Pride Resource Center by throwing money on stage for performers they favored.

Both Auer and Echohawk have been involved with the drag show since their early years at

Colorado State University, initially only attending the event their first year.

“The first time I came to a drag show freshman year (I) didn’t really know what to expect, what I was getting into,” Auer said. “What really struck me that first time, and has continued every drag show since without fail, is how kind of drawn into a community the entire experience tends to be.”

Echohawk said he was surprised that he enjoyed his first drag show because he had no pri-

or experience with drag.

“I really didn’t know what drag was (and) I really kind of didn’t know what I was getting myself into,” Echohawk said. “I was never really much of an arts person. I was always more of a science (person) and into video games and stuff like that. I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed the drag show my first semester seeing it.”

Echohawk said the drag show builds a community not only for students, but for the performers. see GALAXY on page 13 >>

CRIME

Suspect in custody after multi-agency manhunt

By Erin Douglas @erinmdouglas23

Authorities have the suspect in custody who led police on a manhunt near Horsetooth Reservoir late into the night Thursday, March 30.

Adam Fulford was arrested early Friday morning in Horsetooth Mountain Park. The Larimer County Sheriff ’s Office confirmed around 9 a.m. that Fulford was the suspect responsible for evading police by hijacking a taxi cab and then leading authorities on a multi-agency manhunt across Fort Collins, into Loveland and to Horsetooth Reservoir.

Authorities took Adam Fulford into custody after receiving reports of motorists being held at gunpoint by a man that matched Fulford’s description.

Police initially attempted to contact and arrest Fulford around 7 p.m. in the Scotch Pines Condominium complex where he was living. Fulford was armed and fled. Investigators used police dogs to attempt to

locate the suspect in the area, but were unsuccessful.

Upon searching Fulford’s residency investigators found firearms and suspicious devices inside, causing them to evacuate the building unit and call the bomb squad.

The bomb squad determined that the condominium complex was safe around 12:30 a.m. after a nearly three-hour investigation.

During the investigation the team deployed a robot.

Then Fort Collins Police Services saw a taxi leaving the area and followed it westbound toward College Avenue. Fulford and a civilian taxi driver were inside the vehicle.

The taxi turned southbound and ran a red light and officers continued to pursue the vehicle into Loveland, westbound on Highway 34, northbound on North County Road 27 and then eastbound on West County Road 38E. At approximately 8:34 p.m. the taxi reached Horsetooth Mountain Park and the driver jumped from the cab as it was

still moving. Fulford took over the taxi. Officers continued the chase while others stopped to provide aid to the taxi driver who had been shot one time in an extremity.

The following roads were blocked around Horsetooth Reservoir during the search: West County Road 38E at Centennial Drive West County Road 38E at Lakeview Drive Centennial Drive one-mile north of West County Road 38E.

The taxi driver was transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Authorities then deployed spike strips in front of the taxi at about 8:30 p.m. on W. County Road 38E, west of Centenni-

al Drive. Fulford subsequently crashed the taxi and fled on foot.

During the manhunt an emergency alert was sent out to 1,100 contacts in the area to inform them that law enforcement officials were looking for an armed suspect in the area.

LCSO, FCPS and Larimer County Parks established a perimeter and performed a search, but Fulford evaded arrest into the early morning. Authorities suspended the search at approximately 2:24 a.m. when investigative leads in the area had been exhausted.

A man driving with his children in the area of West County Road 38E and Centennial Drive around 8:30 a.m. saw a man matching Fulford’s description.

The man pointed a handgun at the driver and his children, but they were able to get away unharmed.

According to Larimer County Sheriff ’s Office a man driving a black 2008 Toyota Prius stopped in the roadway while being held at gunpoint by Fulford. The driver exited his vehicle and Fulford

drove away in the Prius, headed eastbound on West County Road 38E. No one was harmed.

Deputies located and pursued Fulford as he drove the stolen vehicle southbound on S. Taft Hill Road at speeds reaching 100 mph. Fulford was able to avoid spike strips placed by authorities near 57th Street and N. Wilson Avenue. see MANHUNT on page 6 >>

1,000 backpacks on campus represent college student suicide rates

By Jenn Yingling @jenn_yingling

Send Silence Packing, a traveling exhibit featuring over 1,000 backpacks that represent annual college suicide rates, visited campus on Friday.

The exhibit was on display in the North Ballroom of the Lory Student Center from 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m. It was sponsored by the Colorado State University Health Network, the Associated Students of Colorado State University and Active Minds, a student organization that aims to empower college students to speak openly about mental health issues and suicide.

The exhibit visits around 20 different colleges and universities per year, with CSU being chosen as one of those this year.

“Unfortunately, a lot of people deal with suicide,” said Kelsey Carpenter, president of the Active Minds chapter at CSU. “This is a way to start the conversation and advertise the amazing resources that CSU has to offer for students.”

Each backpack represented the life of a college student who was lost to suicide. Photographs of these students as well as some of their stories were found among the backpacks.

One backpack shared the story of Callie, a student who committed suicide in her dorm room at the University of Colorado the day before the spring

semester began in 2002.

“Callie is loved deeply and in our hearts every day. We miss her very much,” read the note attached to the backpack.

Another backpack had a poem attached to it with a note that read, “I miss you terribly but I am doing okay. Love, mom.”

CSU Health Network Counseling Services was at the event to talk with students and offer support and counseling throughout the duration of the event.

According to Send Silence Packing suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students and 90 percent of people who die by suicide struggled with a treatable mental health disorder at the time of their death.

“We want to emphasize to our community that no one needs to struggle alone and that there is help available,” Janelle Patrias, manager of Mental Health Initiatives and Active Minds advisor, wrote in an email to the Collegian. “We can help reduce the stigma of mental illness and suicide by talking more openly about these important issues.”

The backpacks were donated through the National Active Minds Organization and many of which were donated by families who lost a student to suicide.

According to posters at the event 50 percent of college students report suicidal thoughts at

some time in their life.

“The (suicide) statistics are pretty alarming,” said Kayla Wong, alumna and co-founder of the Active Minds chapter at CSU. “We want to open the door for a peer-to-peer interaction.”

At the end of the event visitors were asked to write words of encouragement or share their own stories on note cards. The cards were placed in a backpack

WGAC to host events for Sexual Assault Awareness Month

By Rachel Telljohn @racheltelljohn

Students at Colorado State University can participate in events as a way to get involved with Sexual Assault Awareness month throughout April.

CSU’s Women and Gender Advocacy Center helps to promote awareness over the course of the month. The group hopes to raise public awareness about sexual violence and to educate the campus community as well as individuals about how to prevent sexual or interpersonal violence, according to their website.

One of the biggest focuses of the month is the Consent Turns Me On Campaign. The campaign is used during the awareness month as a way to focus on healthy relationships and sex positivity and, more importantly, on mutual consent as the foremost way of preventing sexual assault.

There will be workshops and other events running each week

for the month of April.

Highlights include Safer Sexy Sex, a workshop on using sex toys, held Thursday, April 4 at 7:30 p.m. in the Summit Hall Conference Room.

The week of April 8 there will be a screening of the movie “The Invisible War,” which highlights the rape epidemic within the U.S. military. The screening will be in Clark A104 on Tuesday, April 9 at 7:00 p.m.

Also taking place that week is the annual Take Back the Night march on Thursday, April 11. The event will begin at 6:00 p.m. in the Lory Student Center Theatre before the march to Old Town takes place.

Take Back the Night marches are historically part of SAAM, beginning in the 1970s in England first and then in San Francisco.

April was designated Sexual Assault Awareness Month in the late 1990s, officially observed month-long in 2001. The month is sponsored currently by the National Sexual Violence Resource

Center.

There will be a variety of workshops held in the LSC and elsewhere on campus the week of April 15.

Keynote speaker Jessica Valenti will speak on why feminism matters and how activism can be used to battle rape culture on Monday, April 22 in the Lory Student Center Theatre at 6:30 p.m.

SAAM will conclude with the annual Consent Turns Me On Consent Carnival. The carnival will run from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, April 30 in Corbett Hall.

The CTMO Carnival will feature snacks, carnival games, prizes and a photo booth.

Nationwide, the focus for SAAM in Engaging New Voices, according to the NSVRC. New voices includes engaging coaches, faith leaders, parents, Greek Life and bystanders with the hope of preventing sexual assault.

East Drive to be closed through May

By Mason Force @masforce1

East Drive will be closed from Pitkin Street to Lake Street starting Monday, April 3 and continuing through Saturday, May 13.

The road runs alongside the currently under-construction biology and chemistry research buildings and is being resurfaced. The sidewalk and pedestrian routes on East Drive will also be closed during this period as well as the sidewalk on the north side of Lake Street from Center Avenue to the Mason Trail. A pedestrian and bike detour runs from Prospect Road along Center Avenue and beneath the Yates Building before con-

tinuing north to W. Pitkin Street and connecting with the Mason Trail.

An additional portion of road, the westbound lanes of Prospect between the Mason Trail and S. College Avenue, will be closed until April 24.

The repairs on Prospect will improve drainage, extend the life of the road and make the sidewalk more accessible to people with disabilities. The projects are part of a larger plan for improvements to the Fort Collins road system and will coincide with similar construction elsewhere along Prospect.

Fight4Her campaign concludes with presentation of ‘Worst Women’s Advocate’ award to Cory Gardner

By Ashley Potts @11smashley

The local chapter of Fight4Her made an appearance at Senator Cory Gardner’s office on Friday morning.

The group wanted to voice their opinion on reproductive rights.

“Fight4HER is focused on mobilizing action against Trump’s Global Gag Rule and in support of the newly renamed bill to block it, the Global Health, Empowerment, and Rights (HER) Act,” reads the campaign website.

The Fort Collins chapter collected 1,200 petition signatures in support of these goals and stopped by Gardner’s office to deliver them.

Their petitions are addressed to Donald Trump and members of Congress, asking them to “support the Global HER Act, women’s reproductive rights, safe abortion services and things like that,” said Julia Eddy, campaign organizer. “We’re focused on overturning the Global Gag Rule, but also things like the defunding of Planned Parenthood and restricting abortion access.”

The group also presented Gardner with a mock “Worst Women’s Advocate” award.

“He pretends to be a moderate on these issues by supporting things like over-thecounter birth control, but that’s really the only thing I could find to cite to support anything related to women’s health,” Eddy said. “He really deserves this wholeheartedly.”

Mayoral candidate Elizabeth Hudetz also came out to show her support for the group and the Global HER Act. “I’m supporting their efforts and their award,” Hudetz said. “I like to see people be engaged and I like to be engaged in what’s going on.”

The demonstration was the culmination of the work their group has been doing over the past few months.

“The petitions have been a huge thing,” Eddy said.

“We’ve made class announcements and collected them out in the plaza. We did a week of action during the week of International Women’s Day in which we all went to Leymah Gbowee’s speech. The whole week we also attached red coat hangers to our backpacks that said ‘47,000 women die each year from unsafe abortion.’

That was supposed to be a really visual shock value tactic, a tactic that the opposition

uses in shock value in displaying fetuses and things like that which are just not accurate.”

The group also had a dis-

play on the plaza and had a representative from the National Organization of Women speak to teach students how to plan

a grassroots campaign for any progressive issue, Eddy said.

Economic nationalism could ruin the global system Allec Brust @allecbrust

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.

The Don has been digging himself a hole in his first months of presidency. Russian scandals and wiretapping allegations have pushed themselves to the forefront of the young presidency, thus drawing the public away from terrifying truths. One overwhelming aspect of the Trump presidency is the economic na-

tionalist attitudes the Don holds true. The idea of the United States limiting its economic borders is terrifying and should be at the forefront of media attention because it will crush globalization efforts and fail the entire global system. It is simply not a feasible option for a global power like the United States.

As someone with a postcolonial political mindset I see the state of the modern world as a reaction to all the events that came before it. Everything is a social construct that happens as the direct outcome of some sort of social issue after the colonization of any population, for instance a sociological issue that came directly from a moral blunder is the American African population. Without slavery America could not have the social makeup it does to-

day— among many other things I am sure. Disturbing the flow of capital and goods at the source of the most heavily importing countries is bound to have its ailments on society.

Our opting out of the global market will limit important foreign policy freedoms. Globalization prospers on the four freedoms of movement of capital, movement of goods, movement of services and the movement of people. Personally, I believe limiting these freedoms for the rest of the world by adopting a nationalist economy will spark the next world war. However, in the event that it does not, a national economy will not work in the country that is a primary source of capital for other countries. It is not fair to subject the world to poverty and turmoil because the U.S. decides we want to be home

grown. On a global scale a nation-

Globalization prospers on the four freedoms of movement of capital, movement of goods, movement of services and the movement of people. Personally, I believe limiting these freedoms for the rest of the world by adopting a nationalist economy will spark the next world war.

alist economy is not feasible.

Although a nationalist economy would harm other trade dependent countries drastically, it would hurt at home as well.

Although a nationalist economy looks great for the auto industry and other U.S. made products, it will ultimately deprive americans of necessities and cause social unrest. The globalization freedom of movement of people

has already been limited as seen in current immigration policies from our president. The conflict of immigration is only one point on the map of social issues a nationalist economy would instigate. The idea of a “home grown” economic society is a very pretty thought until the price of living and the price of social conflict is no longer bearable. On a national scale economic nationalism is not feasible.

At the end of the day my prediction of what could happen with a nationalist economy would be nothing but a slippery slope. All I know is that social implications are often overlooked when discussing the economy in politics. Adopting economic nationalism as the world’s policeman is bound to have detrimental outcomes. It does not take a political scientist to realize adopting this economic strategy would be detrimental to our country and the entire world. Donald Trump needs to take a step back and think about the implications of his actions. Just because a nationalist economy sounds good on paper doesn’t mean it is best for the country or the world.

At the end of the day economic nationalism is everything except what it has to be: feasible.

Colorado State distance team shines in California

By Eric Wolf @Eric_wolf5

While the Colorado weather soured the weekend for the majority of Colorado State’s track

and field team the CSU distance team tasted success.

The rain, cold and Saturday’s forecast pushed the Tom Benich Invitational in Greeley from Saturday to Sunday, where most of

the Rams competed.

However, some members of the CSU distance team found themselves in different territory as runners competed at the Stanford Invitational and San Francisco State Distance Carnival this weekend.

Friday’s competition saw numerous school records fall at the hands of the dominant CSU distance quartet of Jefferson Abbey, Jerrell Mock, Grant Fischer and Cole Rockhold.

“You don’t get that many chances each year to run at these big meets at sea level against the best competition,” CSU distance coach Art Siemers said. “They know they have limited opportunities and they take advantage of them. It’s fun to see when you watch a whole team – everyone – running to the best of their ability.”

Abbey, a senior and the only member of the group who did not run at the NCAA indoor nationals in March, won the 5,000-meters at Stanford with a time of 13 minutes, 37.23 seconds. Abbey broke a 17-year-old school record in the 5,000 and, through Saturday, Abbey’s time stands as the number one time in the event in the nation.

In the second 5,000 heat Rockhold, a sophomore and a first team indoor All-American, finished second with a time of 13:52.73. Rockhold’s time is the third-best in the event in school history.

The CSU success did not stop with the 5,000 as juniors

Jerrell Mock and Grant Fischer carved their names into the CSU record book in the 10,000-meters on Friday. Mock, a second team indoor All-American, finished third in the 10,000 at Stanford with a time of 28:11.80. Then Fischer, also a second team indoor All-American, finished just behind Mock in sixth place at 28:45.83.

CSU records broken: Jefferson Abbey: 5,000-meter, 13:37.23 Jerrell Mock: 10,000-meter, 28:11.80 Grant Fischer: 10,000-meter, 28:45.83 (2nd at CSU) With their times both runners broke the CSU record set by Ed Cordova all the way back on April 25, 1987. Through Saturday Mock’s time sits as the third-best in the country and first in the NCAA Western region. Fischer is ranked ninth in the nation and third in the west.

“Jeff (Abbey) is the NCAA leader right now and both Jerrell (Mock) and Grant (Fischer) not only broke the school record, but ran big times,” Siemers said.

“It was Jerrell’s first 10,000 ever and right now he has the thirdbest time in the country — 51 seconds better than the school record. Grant ran virtually what he could run a 5,000 in last year back-to-back, so he’s making

huge improvements. I thought Cole (Rockhold) ran really well coming back from nationals.”

The Rams kicked off competition at Stanford on Friday in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase where senior Laura Yallow finished second in her heat with a time of 10:19.45. That time was good enough for a personal-best for Yarrow and ranks fourth all-time in school history.

Junior Mckenna Spillar highlighted CSU action at the San Francisco State Distance Carnival on Friday. Spillar won the women’s 10,000 by over 14 seconds with a time of 34:58.22.

Spillar’s time was a personal best and places her tenth in CSU history in the event. “(Spillar’s) race today was phenomenal,” Siemers said. “She improved her time by almost a minute from last year and ran with such poise this morning.

She didn’t know she was coming to the race until Wednesday. She was really excited to come here and won the race going away. She could’ve easily been freaked out since she didn’t know she was coming, but she showed maturity and that shows what lies ahead in her future.”

Also at the Distance Carnival Tait Rutherford ran a time of 29.25.70 in the men’s 10,000.

Rutherford’s time ranks 18th in the NCAA Western Region and should be good enough to send the senior to regional competition in late May. Eric Wolf can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

BASEBALL

Strong pitching leads to CSU sweep over UNC

By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

Colorado State baseball swept their doubleheader against UNC on Sunday with two dominant pitching performances and patient hitting throughout.

The first game of the day featured Jared Van Vark on the mound and a lockdown defense behind him led by Matt Smith at shortstop. Van Vark began the game with four strikeouts through the first two innings. “(The key to my success) was just getting ahead, honestly. I was pounding the fastball inside,” Van Vark said. “It allowed me to use my curveball and my other pitches to kind of work around the zone more.”

Van Vark utilized his defense once again to come up big in times of need and to make the

routine plays as they came.

“I have the utmost confidence in my defense and I know if I can put a ball on the ground or a ball in the air they’re going to get it,” Van Vark said.

CSU has featured a deep and dominant pitching staff for much of the season and shutdown relievers from the pen that clean up any messes that may have built up by the starters.

“The ability to be able to throw different guys in different situations helps us out a lot,” head coach Troy Tolar said. “It allows us to really keep hitters off balance.”

The Rams’ lineup was relatively quiet compared to their mercy rule wins against Wyoming, but rode a big 6th inning on their way to an 8-0 win. A 2-RBI single by Jace Evans and one RBI double by Sam Hughes allowed

the Rams to take advantage of multiple walks given up by UNC. “It’s really important for us to take advantage of mistakes and make it tough for the pitcher,” Tolar said.

RESULTS: Game 1: CSU 8, UNC 0 Game 2: CSU 10, UNC 4

The second game of the doubleheader was led by Phelan Castellano on the mound. Castellano continued the pitching success for the Rams en route to their second win of the day, 10-4.

Rams drop 2 of 3 to New Mexico, fall to 5th in MW

By Austin White Colorado State came into the weekend one game back of first place in the Mountain West and left looking up at the standings.

After dropping two of three to the New Mexico Lobos (18-13, 4-2 MW) the Rams (16-12, 4-5 MW) now sit in a tie for fifth and are two games back of Utah State (23-8, 6-3 MW) in first.

The weekend started out well for the Rams on Friday with some offensive fireworks coming from unusual places.

Sophomore and junior pitchers Bridgette Hutton and Kaylynn Pierce proved that on Friday in the Rams’ 12-2 mercy rule victory that pitchers can hit too.

Hutton hit a double to right center that brought home two in the second inning. The designated player came out for an encore in the third with the bases loaded when she singled to center field and brought home two more runs, giving the Rams a 5-0

lead after three innings.

Pierce joined the pitching power at the plate in the sixth inning. She gave the Rams a 10-2 advantage when she hit a double to left field that brought home Madison Kilcrease from first and one other run.

“We were really excited about our pitchers getting our offense going for us,” head coach Jen Fisher said. “They are good athletes and that is what they are capable of.”

Haley Hutton wasted no time putting the game away when she tripled two batters after Pierce, bringing the pitcher home. Hutton then scored on a wild pitch by the Lobos and sent the game to 12-2, forcing the Lobos to score at least three runs in the bottom of the sixth to avoid the mercy rule.

Those three runs did not come as Pierce (7-1) shut the Lobos down, finishing the game with five strikeouts and only one earned run off of four hits and one walk.

Rain pushed game two of

>> PITCHING from page 9 past and remembering the boys playing behind me (is key),”Castellano said.

Castellano started the game with three shutout innings featuring multiple fly-ball outs.

He escaped the third and fourth innings courtesy of lineout double plays in which the Rams caught the Bears being lazy on the base paths.

Castellano was relieved by Brad Johnson after four strong innings in which he allowed only one run and a mere two hits.

“It’s a big confidence (boost).

Being down on yourself is hard to come back from,” Castellano said.

“But when you play your game and just go a pitch at a time, we can have a great season.”

The defense in the second game lacked the same consistency as the first game, but the Rams overcame and stayed confident behind Castellano.

“It’s one of those things where you have to focus on the things you have control over and I just continued to do my job and

get groundballs,” Castellano said.

The Rams’ offense in the second game overcame the early struggles and capped off a huge second inning with a grand slam

by Matt Davis. Davis took full advantage of the four walks given up by UNC to begin the inning.

“I just looked for one pitch, one spot really,” Davis said. “I think I’m a lot better hitter with runners on base, so anything I can do to score runs is good.”

The Rams will look to continue their win streak against, barring any rescheduling of their cancelled Saturday games, Colorado Mesa in Grand Junction next weekend. Mesa is at the top of the conference right beside CSU and the Rams will look to distance themselves in the fourgame series.

“We will continue to work on the little things that help us win games,” Tolar said, “and be prepared for when we do have some close games.”

the series to Sunday for a double-header.

Game two was a bad defensive outing for CSU. Two errors in the third inning gave the Lobos four unearned runs and a lead the Rams could not come back from in the 7-3 loss.

The defense stiffened up in the third game, but pitching was the Rams’ downfall this time.

Pierce started the game after her dominance in game one on Friday, but the Lobos made adjustments by quickly scoring three runs in the first and two runs in the second. Those five runs pushed coach Fisher to make the switch to junior Larisa Petakoff.

“She has been doing a real good job for us. I think what happened was their team made some really good adjustments,” Fisher said on Pierce’s different outcomes in game one and three. “That is the mark of a good program. You get beat and

you come back.”

However, the Rams did go down that easy as they stormed back in the fourth inning and tied the game up at five. After one RBI single by Kilcrease freshman Corina Gamboa stayed hot by ripping a single up the middle and scored two. Buchanan matched Gamboa later in the inning with a single of her own to right field that tied the game up.

Petakoff and the Rams then gave the lead right back in the bottom of the fifth after a leadoff double by the new Mountain West leader in batting average, Shelbie Franc. From there Casados singled to bring home Franc and took the wind out of the Rams’ sails.

CSU was able to tie it up again in the top of the sixth, but once again the Lobos answered with two runs. The Lobos outhit the Rams 15-11 in the game as

they went on to win 8-6.

Nelson was able to hit her 10th home run of the season over the weekend, but she lost the lead in batting average as it dropped to .447.

“It’s a humbling experience,” Fisher said on the change from winning game one easily to struggling in games two and three. “We go in one day and hit spots and changing speeds and playing good defense…(games two and three) was almost a reverse.”

The Rams will hit the road again next week when they take on San Jose State (23-12, 3-3 MW) for a three game series. The Spartans currently sit in third place in the Mountain West and are coming off a 1-2 series loss against San Diego State.

Game one is set for Friday, April 7 at 12 p.m. MT. Austin White can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

New Hallery exhibit features artwork

by LSC Arts Program employees

‘Ascent’ fashion show displays student talent in design, modeling

By Ashley Potts @11smashley

New art is on display at the “Hallery” in the Lory Student Center. The new exhibit features political, personal and whimsical art made by seven employees of the LSC Arts Program. Some of the artists study art while others create art for fun.

Jackson Aldern, a junior majoring in art with concentrations in painting and graphic design, created his piece “Immigrant” about the current political atmosphere.

“In a world where the future is uncertain, to say the least, learn not to avoid your guilty pleasures but to dive into them.”

SEAN KOVATCH FOREST MANAGEMENT MAJOR

“After Trump’s imposed travel ban members of our own campus were stranded across an invisible line, unable to continue their pursuits benevolent and

valuable to the whole CSU community,” Aldern said. “I wanted to paint something addressing the establishment’s uneducated and inhumane treatment of immigrants and, in doing so, start conversation around their representation in everyday life.”

Aldern was also the artist behind the most recent exhibit in the Hallery titled “RIGHTEOUS.” Sophomore journalism major Bethany McCabe used her photography concentration to bring light to her brother’s struggle with hemophilia.

“Seeing how hemophilia has affected my brother has made me a passionate advocate to educate about (the disease) and I hope to show that through my photography,” McCabe said.

Todd Underwood, a junior art major with a concentration in painting, chose to deal with the idea of the sublime, which often shows up in art historical studies of landscape paintings. Underwood, however, took a more abstract approach to the idea.

“It seeks to combine awe and terror through color and texture,” Underwood said.

Sophomore forest management major Sean Kovatch explored a more spiritual idea in his work titled “Savor Your Sin.” “The mystery of what awaits

beyond death eludes us all,” Kovatch said. “Some say to indulge in feelings of ecstasy is sinful.

However, in a world where the future is uncertain, to say the least, learn not to avoid your guilty pleasures but to dive into them.”

Elsa Riffe, a senior majoring in French language, literature and culture, took a more whimsical approach in her piece titled “Bacon.”

“Bacon could be interpreted as a statement about the sexualization and objectification of women, but sometimes a picture is just a sexy pig because the world needs more sexy pigs,” Riffe said.

Riffe said she wanted to explore her artistic abilities and ideas outside of an academic context.

“Bacon was an opportunity to create a piece that didn’t hold deep conceptual meaning, that was free from the pressure of imposed guidelines or expectations that restrict the artistic process,” Riffe said.

The work will be featured in the Hallery for the rest of the semester and can be viewed during regular LSC hours. For more information about the Hallery and other work done by the LSC Arts Program visit lsc.colostate.edu.

The Colorado State University Design and Merchandising department took over the Fort Collins Lincoln Center Friday night with bright lights, upbeat music, catwalks and dance performances for their 2017 Fashion Show, “Ascent.”

The show featured the work of 14 graduating design and merchandising students plus an additional 19 students from the draping and design class.

The show featured collections in active wear, professional dress, casual lifestyle and evening and special occasion modeled by 42 CSU students.

The work of the graduating students was evaluated by a panel of four guest judges active in the fashion industry: Anabella Poletti, Brittany Pilliard, Colin Turek and Heather Okimoto.

The panel presented four awards to four different senior designers. Y Nhu Hong was awarded with outstanding designer. Her collection featured bridal-inspired dresses that drew from Vietnam, her country of birth, and Western style.

Hong said she describes her style as pretty.

“All of my dresses are really

flowy or really big,” Hong said.

“I want the girls to feel pretty in the things they wear.”

Hong said she finds inspiration from bridal designer Lezaro Perez.

“I really enjoy his designs.

They’re really pretty and really simple,” Hong said.

Tanner Landen was awarded best construction for his line of snow sport wear. Models dressed in snow boots, snow pants, coats and layering pieces. His collection was tied together by the navy blue color featured on his four models.

Nina Mascheroni was awarded the title of most marketable for her collection featuring modern, professional looks for the working woman. Her collection exhibited various coats and jackets that she hand wove in the Fibers Studio at CSU. The title of most innovative went to Caitlin Lund for her collection of men’s and women’s clothing. The collection was brought together by the use of olive green, rusty orange and white colors. Each of Lund’s pieces also contained hand-sewn beadwork.

‘The (Blank) Monologues’ brings stories of abuse, consent and much more to the LSC

Pulitzer prize winning author of ‘Deep Down Dark’ speaks about writing process

By Chapman Croskell @Nescwick

The cast of “The (Blank) Monologues” used personal stories, entertaining skits and bad tea puns to bring light to issues on campus that they care deeply about.

“I think the biggest thing I noticed, especially this year, is that it gives people a space to talk out loud about things that are very personal to them,” said Brenna Carter, senior psychology and international studies major, “things that people want to get off their chest and share with the world, but don’t really have a place to do that.”

Carter, who performed a piece discussing white feminism with her partner Samantha Swain that parodies characters from the musical “Wicked,” was one of many performers who used the space to bring up a topic that she is passionate about.

Also included in the monologues were slam poetry pieces regarding topics such as rape, a video titled “Periods aren’t that gross” and even a skit from the Red Whistle Brigade.

“We know that these conversations can be kind of hard to talk about, so we try to do it in a humorous kind of way,” said Whitney Gustafson, junior ethnic studies and sociology major and member of the Red Whistle Brigade.

The video on periods and many of the skits such as one where cast members read out humorous text conversations from services like Tinder had the audience filling the theater with laughter and broke up the more serious nature of other pieces.

Gustafson, who has been working with the Red Whistle Brigade for two years and also presented two of her own pieces during the show, said that the event forces people to think about topics they

might not always be comfortable thinking about and that it also helps in the healing process for many of the cast members.

“The (Blank) Monologues” is the creation of Bailey Cross, a junior political science major.

As part of the Puksta Scholarship she receives she needed to create a social justice project on campus. Cross said that she was inspired by “The Vagina Monologues,” but wanted to create something more inclusive.

“It’s really opened up the door for students to talk about things they’re passionate about and issues they think need to be worked on,” Cross said. “I saw this really big issue with issues like sexual assault and domestic violence that people weren’t talking about, so we wanted to create a platform for students to put those issues out in the open.”

This was the second year of “The (Blank) Monologues” and, even though Cross is graduating next December, she said that she hopes that the event is something that can become a CSU tradition.

The crew began workshopping in September and held auditions in December. Following this, the cast met weekly to work on their monologues. Cross said that the cast and crew have grown close over the few months that they have been working together and that it has been one of her favorite parts about producing the show.

For the entire cast the show had become a space that they can feel comfortable talking about topics that they are passionate about.

“The show really brings people out of their comfort zone and helps to normalize these issues,” said Demi Serrano, junior biology major who discusses being a first-generation Latina student at a predominately white see MONOLOGUES on page 13 >>

Pulitzer prize winner Héctor Tobar spoke about his book “Deep Down Dark” at the Hilton Friday night.

Tobar has contributed to The New York Times, LA Weekly and has held several positions at The Los Angeles Times, including contributing to their 1992 Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of the Rodney King Riots. Tobar, in addition to journalistic contributions, has also written two novels. He currently works as a professor for the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communication.

Tobar’s book, “Deep Down Dark,” illustrates the experiences of 33 miners who were trapped 2,100 feet underground following the collapse of a gold and copper mine near Copiapó, Chile on August 10, 2010. Tobar describes the mine as Swiss cheese, with numerous holes created underground for digging. After the 21-story mine shaft collapsed the miners were trapped for 17 days with only about 100 packets of cookies to eat amongst all 33 men.

Each man was allotted one cookie each every two days after some of the men consumed more than their des-

ignated rations during the first few days after the cave-in.

Finally, when the men were on the verge of starvation, rescue teams from the surface drilled through the boulder trapping them. Even though the miners were found they could not be extracted for 69 days.

While in the mine they had access to newspapers, televisions and magazines.

The miners watched themselves become a worldwide story while still trapped 2,100 feet underground. While down there the men made a pact, agreeing they would only allow one book and one film to be made about their experience. After the men were extracted they went to Santiago, Chile and met with a legal team to discuss who should write the book. They wanted the story to be done right, maintain-

ing artistic integrity and legitimacy. They needed a novelist with journalism experience who spoke Spanish. Tobar, while working for The Los Angeles Times, was the National Latino Affairs Correspondent which made him the natural choice to tackle the project.

Throughout the event Tobar spoke about how he approached telling the story. He emphasized his desire to paint a complete portrait of the men he was portraying in contrast with the previously impersonal pieces on the mine collapse. Tobar’s determination to truly understand these men allowed him to dive deeper into the human condition of the story and allowed him to write a more accurate and holistic rendition.

>> GALAXY from page 1 people who performed in the drag show before me and (in) other different ways. It kind of just keeps that community building aspect very well.”

The Galaxy Queers drag show marked the final show for Auer who will graduate in May. Auer said their final show would be bittersweet because of the work they have put in for it.

“It’s a little bittersweet,” Auer said. “It’s getting at (that) point in the semester where everything is really amping up both academically and (in) extracurriculars.

I’ll be relieved when the show is done with, but at the same time everything is moving too fast and I don’t want it to be done with.”

Yasmin Sethna, a freshman theatre major, and Migle Prekeryte, a freshman biological science major, previously attended the Queerly Ever After drag show in the fall.

Sethna said she decided to attend this semester’s drag show because of the experience she had at the previous semester’s show.

“Last semester was the first drag show I’d ever been to, so seeing the different costumes and makeup and seeing how wonderful everyone performs was just a different experience for me,” Sethna said. “I loved that experience, so I wanted to experience it again.”

Prekeryte said she returned to this semester’s drag show because she feels connected to the performers because of her sexual orientation.

“I really feel like I associate with these people who are going out and showing themselves,” Prekeryte said. “Getting the word out about these shows and having so many people come and see them is really spreading the word (of ) openness and acceptance. I feel like we really need to try

to reach out to more people so people can feel more comfortable.

Auer and Echohawk said they are happy that many people continue to attend the drag show because they enjoyed those previous. “(People say) ‘oh, the drag show! I went last semester (or) last year.’ ‘My roommate dragged me.’ ‘I went with my friend,’” Auer said. “It tends to be a really positive reaction with people really excited to go again, which is incredibly rewarding.”

Echohawk said the organizations that help sponsor the drag show enjoy being a part of the event and continue to help out.

“RamEvents loves doing it, the Residence Hall Association loves being a part of it and supporting us,” Echohawk said. “I believe last semester I was a little late in reaching out to (the police officers) and a couple of them reached out to me and said, ‘hey, when is this happening?

I want to make sure that I’m off for that day and I can work it.’”

Auer and Echohawk consider the Galaxy Queers drag show to be the biggest drag show PRISM has ever hosted since Shangela Laquifa Wadley from seasons two and three of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” made an appearance.

Wadley spoke to the audience about the importance of self acceptance in between performing two songs for the crowd, her song “Werqin’ Girl” and a remix of Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk.” She then concluded the show with a medley of Beyoncé songs. “(Life is) not just about the race,” Wadley said. “Life is about the marathon. It’s about ... believing in yourself.”

>> FASHION from page 11 collection of dresses and outerwear were made from recycled military parachutes donated to CSU by Aspen Pointe, a veteran rehabilitation non-profit. The dresses and outfits were in a variety of bright colors. Some dresses contained trains that seemed to float behind the models as they walked by.

Sarah Buzzetta, design and merchandising freshman, modeled three outfits in the show including one of the parachute pieces.

“There’s a lot behind the scenes

going on,” Buzzetta said. “There was a lot of running back and forth.

Overall, it was really fun. It was exciting. Everyone was on their toes all the time.”

Estefany Montoya, junior design and merchandising student, worked behind the scenes to help make the show possible.

“I wanted to learn a few things (and) get myself out there,” Montoya said.

Montoya was part of the VIP Reception and Sponsorship Committee. She helped raise funds and find sponsors for the show long before a single model

took the stage.

Montoya said she enjoyed setting up for the pre-show reception and getting to talk to the attendees.

“I’m not much of a fashion person, but the show overall was really amazing,” said Xochitl Ramirez, second year social work and communications double major. “A lot of the designs were incredible and you can see where everyone was putting in a lot of work.”

>> PULITZER from page 12 writing as superbly human and intimately nurtured. He found poetry in these men and it was his wish to illustrate this that makes the book much more immersive and meaningful than the snapshot delivered by other journalists.

“I came because I read the book and I loved it,” said Bethany O’Brien, an event attendee. “I heard about it on Colorado Public Radio and then read it and I absolutely loved it. I saw a poster for the event and recognized the name and thought it would be great to hear from him in person.”

Attendees of the even not only included fans of Tobar but also students directed by their English professors.

Tirzah Post, an English major at CSU, said the event was recom-

mended by English teachers and was incentivized with receive extra credit.

Among the fans was Amy Borngrebe, describing the captivating nature of Tabor’s writing.

“I think for me it was how Tobar told the story,” Borngrebe said. “Although he is writing in a journalistic way, it’s so vivid. You feel like you’re right there with

these miners. I think that for me I was so in the story while I was reading it and that is why I liked it.”

CSU is planning to have another writer speak about their work soon. Anne Lamott will be at the Hilton at 7 p.m. on April 12.
