Excitement and tears from the Silva-Wells campaign could not be contained as Josh Silva and Michael Wells were announced as the next presidential administration for the Associated Students of Colorado State University Wednesday night. In an election that saw over 5,000 students cast their vote, the Silva-Wells campaign won the ASCSU presidency with a total of 1,440 votes from the student body. The Morton-Rosenthal campaign earned 1,385 votes while the Bohn-Syron campaign and Kendall-Merline campaign earned 1,350 votes and 974 votes respectively. Silva, ASCSU President Elect, said it is a dream come true for him to be the next president
of ASCSU. “This is surreal. This is a dream come true, in college at least,” Silva said. “I’m just really glad that we won and that we will have the opportunity to help students and serve them, and make sure that we can include everybody and make sure that we can empower students.” Wells, ASCSU Vice President Elect, said the campaign team worked long hours to achieve their win. “These last three days have been 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., just nonstop,” Wells said. “I’m beyond excited. I’m so happy that we can do this because we can get in there, and hopefully start right away on making these initiatives happen for students.” Communication between members of ASCSU and the student body and advancing tech-
nology were two of the main pillars of the Silva-Wells campaign. Silva and Wells plan to make the ASCSU offices more welcoming to students and make mobile apps, such as RamRide, more accessible and easy to use. Silva and Wells believe they will fulfill their campaign promises because they care about the students. “We talk about helping students all the time and being that voice, and that’s what I care about,” Silva said. “It’s just great that we can make this a reality. We can actually do the things that we said we want to do.” Christina Vessa, the Silva-Wells campaign manager, said the campaign’s win came down to the last hour of campaigning on the Plaza. “We were running people down on the Plaza,” Vessa said.
“I can’t tell you how many times I said that pitch of the campaign platforms. I’m probably going to say it in my sleep tonight, but the reason I got behind Josh and Michael is because I knew that they are invested in feasible change, they have the experience to make a difference and they truly, truly care.” Kaleigh Maxwell, Director of Marketing & Multimedia Outreach for the Silva-Wells campaign, said she was passionate about the campaign from the start. “Every day that I worked on the campaign, I learned more and more about them. I was impressed more and more about them,” Maxwell said. “I told every single person who I think I chased down, ‘The reason I’m telling you this is because I’ve see ELECTION on page 4 >>

ASCSU ELECTIONS
Silva-Wells, Morton-Rosenthal campaigns fined for violations By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98
The Elections Committee of the Associated Students of Colorado State Univeristy met numerous times on Wednesday to discuss incident reports filed against the Silva-Wells and the Morton-Rosenthal campaigns. The Elections Committee discussed the use of the ASCSU logo in a video posted to the Silva-Wells campaign’s Instagram account on Wednesday morning. The Silva-Wells campaign was reported for using the official ASCSU logo in their campaign video. The campaign was reported by current Vice President Mike Lensky. Lensky wrote in his incident report that the shot of the ASCSU logo for an Instagram video affiliates the Silva-Wells campaign with official material of ASCSU. The Elections Committee found the Silva-Wells campaign
guilty for using the ASCSU logo and were fined $25. The Elections Committee met Wednesday morning to discuss several incident reports filed against the Morton-Rosenthal campaign for posting campaign fliers in residence halls, specifically Durward Hall, PiĂąon Hall and Alpine Hall. The Morton-Rosenthal campaign stated they sought and received permission from Residence Life to post flyers in the dorms on the community board. Josh Silva noted during the hearing that he was told he could only post on the first floor community boards, but not anywhere else in the residence halls as other areas of the dorms only allowed Residence Life events. Flyers for the Morton-Rosenthal campaign were found on other floors in the residence halls. While the Elections Committee recognized that the Morton-Rosenthal campaign
did seek permission from the Residence Halls to post flyers, they did violate Article IX Section J of the Elections Code for not seeking permission to post flyers on other floors in the residence Halls. The Elections Committee found the Morton-Rosenthal campaign partially guilty for posting flyers in the residence halls, and they were fined $25. The Elections Committee also discussed incident reports filed against the Morton-Rosenthal campaign for using the CSU logo after the CSU hockey team, baseball team and Golden Poms team endorsed the campaign. The Elections Committee found the campaign not guilty. The Bohn-Syron campaign was found not guilty by the Elections Committee for sending digital campaign material that was unapproved, according to Elections Manager Sam Barthel. An appeal was filed against the decision, but no further action

has been decided at this time. The Morton-Rosenthal campaign has received 27 incident reports filed against them. The Silva-Wells campaign and the Bohn-Syron campaign have

ASCSU ELECTIONS
Over 5,000 votes cast by students in ASCSU elections By Jenn Yingling @jenn_yingling
A total of 5,454 votes were cast in the Associated Students of Colorado State University elections, which is 18.22 percent of the entire student body. This was 1,911 more votes than the 2016 ASCSU Election. Within the first 24 hours, over 3,000 CSU students, or 10 percent of the student body, had voted in the ASCSU elections according to the ASCSU elections Facebook page. Voting began Monday, April 3 via RamWeb at 8 a.m. and continued until 4 p.m. today. Students had the opportunity to vote for ASCSU President, Vice President, Speaker of the Senate and Senators. Voting also included choosing between two Forever Green T-shirt designs.
>> ELECTION from page 1 never been so passionate about something, and I’ve never believed in two people so much.’” As he held back tears, Cole Wise, the chief of staff for the Silva-Wells campaign, said he was proud of the campaign and of the bond that formed between members of the campaign team. “I couldn’t be prouder of this campaign and the campaign staff,” Wise said. “We’ve grown as a family the past couple of months getting ready for this. I’m proud to have worked for them, and I know that they will fulfill everything that they promised to do because that’s what this campagin was built on.” Presidential candidates Hailey Morton and Edward Kendall congratulated the Silva-Wells campaign for their win. Kendall said he was proud of Silva and Wells even though his campaign did not win the election. “It didn’t go the way we wanted, but I can say I’m really proud,” Kendall said. “Michael and Josh will do good by this organization and good by students.” Nick Bohn and Tristan Syron did not wish to comment at this time, but Syron said the Silva-Wells campaign did an overall good job, and he was not upset about their win. Isabel Brown won the position for speaker of the senate with 1,841 votes from the student body. The remaining two candidates for speaker of the senate earned 1,403 votes and 1,253 votes respectively. Brown said she had some doubt about winning, but was pleasantly surprised by the result.
Sam Barthel, the ASCSU Elections Manager, said he believes diversity played a role in the voter turnout this year. “I think there’s a diversity among the candidates, and this year we have multiple Senator seats and colleges that are contested,” Barthel told the Collegian Monday. The number of senator candidates also contributed to the higher number of voters, Barthel said. There were a total of 17 Senator candidates representing the Colleges of Business, Liberal Arts, Engineering, Natural Sciences, Health and Human Sciences, Warner College of Natural Resources and graduate school. “In the past there were an excess of senate seats, and this year it was a little more com-
petitive for Senator races, which helps increase voter turnout,” Barthel said. Two of the colleges had only one senate candidate, but the
“It was really nerve-wracking waiting for the results, but they came out great,” Brown said. “I’m really just looking forward to increasing more of a professional community and culture going forward with the senators that were selected for next year.” Speaker of the Senate candidates Jennifer Murray and Bayler Shubert congratulated Brown on her win and said they are looking forward to being ASCSU senators next year. “We made sure ... that it was a very similar campaign for everyone because I know we’re going to be working together in senate,” Shubert said. “We’re all here to make sure that senate is a great place. I’m happy for Isabel, and I’m looking forward to being involved in ASCSU in any way I can.” Haley Candelario can be reached at news@collegian.com.

rest of them had more than one candidate competing with each other. In the College of Liberal Arts, there were six different candidates to choose from.
The campaigning period began back in March, the first Monday after spring break. “We tried to outreach to students a lot and give input on debates,” Barthel said. “We switched up some marketing techniques.” This outreach included debates on the Plaza where students could ask questions directly to the candidates. The candidates have also been on the Plaza handing out fliers and stickers, as well as talking to students about their campaign. Results of the election will be announced around 6:45 p.m. tonight in the Lory Student Center senate chambers following a senate meeting. Results will also be available through the ASCSU website.

CITY
University, City respond to aftermath of ongoing construction on Campus West businesses By Stuart Smith @notstuartsmith
Multiple businesses in Campus West have struggled due to construction on the underpass being built at the intersection of Elizabeth and Shields Streets. Though the intersection reopened Tuesday morning, some businesses are still unsure that they can survive until August, when the construction is slated to end. In a Collegian article several weeks ago, owners of the Village Vidiot and Momo Lolo expressed their concerns about the effect of the construction on their businesses. The Village Vidiot put out a donation jar to help themselves stay afloat, and the owner of Momo Lolo said that he has had to take other jobs to keep the shop from closing. Scott Shepperd, the owner
of the Village Vidiot, said that he was not happy about the University pushing this forward, and believes that the city has put the University’s interests ahead of the people who live in Fort Collins. “CSU is now leading everybody by the nose; they’re getting whatever they want,” Shepperd said. Jill Marx, the public relations coordinator for Fort Collins, said that she sympathized with the businesses, and that she hopes they can stay in business. “I feel badly for those businesses; I totally get it,” Marx said. “I live over there, so I can understand that they are sick of the construction.” “I hope that they can survive the construction, because I think the end product will be better for everyone,” she continued. Marx added that this kind of construction always has an effect

on the businesses in the area. “Anytime there’s construction, that’s always a concern
for us,” she said. “Anytime we improve an intersection, we do work with the businesses and
try to keep them updated on the progress of the projects.” However, Marx said that the construction was badly needed, based on where Fort Collins is going as a city, and the growth that it is seeing. “At some point, you have to update the infrastructure,” Marx said. “Fort Collins is growing, and we have to accommodate the higher traffic volume and the higher bicycle traffic volume. The intersections all over town are getting improved upon because we have to do it to keep up with the growth of the city.” Campus planner Fred Haberecht said that the University is concerned about the businesses, but that they also warned businesses that it was coming, and the project has been in the works since 2001. “Before the project even started, see RESPOND on page 22 >>

Innovative history professor wins Ann Gill teaching award By Nicole Towne @nicole_towne21
Robert Jordan, a history professor at Colorado State University and a self-identified goofball and dungeon master is this year’s recipient of the Ann Gill Excellence in Teaching Award. The $10,000 award, named after former Colorado State College of Liberal Arts Dean Ann Gill, recognizes CSU faculty for excellent performance. “This award recognizes faculty members who are instrumental in students becoming life-long learners, critical and creative thinkers, outstanding communicators and performers, and engaged and caring citizens of their various communities,” according to Source. Jordan has been teaching at CSU for almost five years and has taught 57 courses and nearly 3,000 students that range from freshman to seniors. He received his undergraduate degree in history and psychology. He received both a master’s from the University of Texas Dallas and a Ph.D from the University of Nebraska Lincoln in Latin American History. Junior history major Emma Sloniker said Jordan has unapologetic enthusiasm when it comes to bringing history to the classroom. “He’s definitely dedicated to his students, passionate about what he’s teaching and
enthusiastic,” Sloniker said. Jordan is not afraid to be a “goofball,” which he called himself in an interview with the Collegian. “He doesn’t hesitate to make a fool of himself sometimes if it helps to make a point or connect with his students,” Sloniker said. Jordan said he thinks of himself as someone who loves learning about the human experience.
“I hope that students can embrace that spirit of experimentation and treating the classroom like a laboratory for pushing the boundaries for what we think of as history.” ROBERT JORDAN CSU HISTORY PROFESSOR
“I am a historian, but I think I am also a humanist,” Jordan said. “...I hope that students can embrace that spirit of experimentation and treating the classroom like a laboratory for pushing the boundaries for what we think of as history, or the ways we explore history, to really push it into the 21st century.” In CSU’s History Department, Jordan is known for cre-

ating immersive learning experiences through role playing. Students in his class will often have to play the role of a specific person from history. Jordan said that students have positively responded to this interactive learning experience and that it provides learning opportunities that a typical assignment could not create. “Every week on Friday my class goes from learning about technology and doing training to becoming a bunch of nerdy historical figures trying to kill each other,” Jordan said. “I’m like the dungeon master who
runs the whole thing. It’s quite something.” As much as Jordan values engaging his students and teaching them about history, he said he equally values getting to know his students personally and helping them succeed. “He wants them to be successful,” wrote fellow history professor Tracy Brady in an email to the Collegian. “It doesn’t matter if the person is a grad student or a little boy doing a small project for school, Robert gives them both his complete attention. There is often a line of eager students
waiting for him to arrive for office hours.” Jordan said he wants to be a supportive resource for his students and tries to break down the wall between students and professors. “As much as I’m holistic in my approach to teaching, in terms of content, I’m also holistic in my approach to mentoring,” Jordan said. “I think you really have to go above and beyond. I want to be the teacher I never had in college in a lot of ways.” Nicole Towne can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Trump’s wage gap views highlight executive hypocrisy Jayla Hodge @Jayla_hodge
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. This past Tuesday was the official Equal Pay Day, the day marking where women’s wages catch up with the wages of our male counterparts from 2016. In 1996, the National Committee on Pay Equity made April 4th national “Equal Pay Day” to help raise awareness on the gender wage gap and represent how much longer woman must work. Women work an additional three months on average to make the same yearly wages of men. The holiday was celebrated all over social media by many political figures including First Daughter, Ivanka Trump. The new official White House adviser posted a statement to Instagram saying, “Closing the gender pay gap is
critical to the economic empowerment of American women, and it is the responsibility of all Americans to come together in pursuit of equal pay. I am proud to work towards this goal alongside my father and in support of the administration’s commitment to women and families.” Such bold support from the Trump family on wage equality came as a shock to many due to Trump’s recent actions. On March 27, a mere week before Equal Pay Day, President Trump signed an executive order revoking the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces order. These orders created in 2010, introduced more protections for women in the workforce and demanded more transparency from corporations and companies that use pay walls to keep wages undisclosed leading to more wage discrimination between male and female employees. These orders were fought hard for and help keep sexual harassment and discrimination out of our workforce. These protections and issues are not being valued by our president. This is not a media manipulation, but rather manipulation from the administration to the public. The actions of our pres-
ident and his administration directly contradict their statements and public sentiments. There are people, especially right-wing media outlets like Fox News, that support Trump’s executive order because they have written off the wage gap as a myth or discredit the many factual and reliable statistics. This is easily debunked. The wage gap is a real issue. According to national census wage reports women are paid 20 percent less than men on average. Even though the president and his administration have created no policies or substantial work towards these issues, and they are derailing most of the progress that has been made. They have admitted and emphasized that the gender wage gap and employment discrimination are serious issues in our country. We need to recognize the hypocrisy of our leadership. While some still claim President Trump is doing exactly what he said in his campaign, many of his actions have been double-sided and contradictory of themselves. Another example of our commander in chief’s hypocrisy and snake-like behavior on
behalf of his administration are exemplified through the First Family’s living expenses. The First Family currently resides in three locations and is the first presidential family to not reside full time in the White House. According to budget request documents released by the U.S Secret Service to The Washington Post, it will take an addition $60 million in funding to keep with their security and travel expenses alone. Funding the First Family and their expensive lifestyle comes from taxpayer dollars. We pay for the First Lady to live in Trump Tower and for President Trump to fly back to his Florida estate, also known as the “Winter White House” every other week. These are extravagances our country cannot afford to pay for and they are taking funds away from programs our country desperately needs. This is not “making America great.” It is extremely hypocritical considering Trump’s new budget proposal. Trump has proposed cutting spending to many crucial programs and systems. Trump’s administration cut the education budget by $9.2 billion and decreasing funding towards environmental programs by 31
percent, almost dismantling the EPA. All of this on top of cutting other small budget programs dedicated to the arts and supporting other low income demographics. Trump claims these programs are “not effective, that duplicate other efforts and they do not serve national needs.” Our country needs a better education system. Our country needs environmental protections , funding for clean energy and climate research. Our country needs orders that end workplace discrimination and ends the gender pay gap. What our country doesn’t need is a administration that lacks transparency and a president that cares more about his presidential privileges and business relations more than his citizens. Sadly, it is not surprising to see actions like this from a president who has shown to blatantly disregard women in the past, but Ivanka Trump, who has built her platform advocating for women this serves as a serious red flag. We need a woman that will stand up and be a real voice for American women, not one that just uses her daddy’s. Jayla can be reached at letters@collegian.com .

Construction projects show CSU does not prioritize students 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. Colorado State University has made its mark as an excellent university for diverse majors. However, recent initiatives to renovate and construct new academic/athletic buildings does not resonate with student need. Although many different groups benefit from the changes to campus, other groups have been left in the shadows. Liberal arts and human sciences students suffer the most as the largest groups on campus. If CSU wants to keep its sparkling reputation, administration needs to fo-
cus more on the larger student body. The recently constructed football stadium and slaughterhouse are examples of neglect of the larger student body. In the 2015-2016 school year, CSU awarded degrees to 1,500 liberal arts majors and 600 degrees to engineering majors. Compared to the other colleges, the liberal arts school has the greatest amount of students. Most are aware of the widely covered slaughterhouse that will make its mark between the Morgan Library and Animal Sciences building. On a moral and social level, I see no issue having a slaughterhouse on campus because it will be an excellent learning tool for animal science students. However, the number of animal science majors at the University are greatly outnumbered by other majors. CSU needs to create a more equal budgeting plan that encompasses to all students. Obviously, certain majors require different educational
tools. Engineering students need more equipment then English majors. I also understand that technical costs included in tuition vary by major, but only marginally. However these are minor differences; both engineering students and ethnic studies students pay the same tuition, $8,301 for in-state students and $25,010 for out-of-state students. I am aware that although tuition is the same, technology is more expensive and therefore technical majors require more learning tools. However, the Engineering has two buildings, multiple labs and the greatest chance at a high paying job immediately out of college. There is no valid argument that can claim liberal arts students have equal resources. In light of the newly constructed football stadium, my argument is short. We already have a stadium that works just fine and football has nothing to do with academics. Liberal arts majors are pushed to the margins. I am bi-
ased in the fact that I study in two liberal arts programs, political science and journalism. However, my platform as a reporter has allowed me to speak with multiple people from many different fields of study. One motif has stayed constant in my work: liberal arts programs are the least developed. While many science programs are given grants in addition to ealing with a small number of students, the premise stays the same. Liberal arts suffers in the following categories: Student Media- There is no formal facility for CTV. Their offices are in the basement of the Clark building. Also, there is no formal building for all student media. Student and Staff healthThe Clark building, where many liberal arts students spend their days, is basically falling apart. It is not up to fire code, has asbestos and has no windows in classrooms, which could cause potential health issues. Overcrowding- 6oo engineering students graduate ev-
ery year as compared to 1,500 liberal arts students. While engineering has multiple concentrations, liberal arts holds over 30 different majors such as journalism, political science, foreign languages and so forth. The entire staff and student body is reserved to the Clark building which cannot hold the incredible amount of staff and students without having to host liberal arts classes in other buildings‌ ironically I have had two classes in Engineering. I could go on, but I will spare the reader from a lengthy proclamation. In the end, I know little about the financial ins and outs of the University. All I know is that there is no doubt certain majors are given preferential treatment, and student commentary has yielded no change as of yet. If change is to be sparked, it is not at the student level; it is the administration’s job to treat students equally. Allec Brust can be reached at letters@collegian.

Engineering a national championship: Hassan’s journey to a title By Eric Wolf @Eric_Wolf5
e rest of his life, Mostafa Hassan will at least partly be defined by 21.27 meters. Yet in meters and in moments, that is not what Hassan is striving towards. Yes, 21.27 meters did more than secure a shot put national championship in the NCAA indoor track and field championships on March 10th in College Station, Texas. But Hassan’s shot put ambitions stretch beyond a collegiate national title. And in the end, he might end up being more successful in his other passionate pursuit of engineering than in the throwing circle. 21.27 A native of Cairo, Egypt, Hassan came to Colorado State University in the fall of 2016 to train in the United States with Ram head coach Brian Bedard. He found early success as a sophomore last season. In 2016, Hassan swept the Mountain West indoor and outdoor shot put titles, finished fifth at the NCAA indoor nationals, third at outdoor nationals and finished 13th at the Indoor World Championships in Portland, Oregon in August. But in 2016, he fell just 4 centimeters short of his ultimate goal of 20.50 meters — the distance needed to guarantee him a spot at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. During this year’s indoor
season, Hassan hit that distance and then some. At the 2017 Mountain West indoor championships in February, Hassan sealed a second-consecutive indoor conference title with a toss of 21.30 meters. And after a 20.01 meter throw in early December, he maintained a lead over the country in the NCAA indoor standings going into the national meet. Last year, Hassan went to indoor nationals ranked 14th in the country. Nobody really knew who he was and nobody expected him to win. This year was different. Hassan felt pressure that he had not felt the year before, but he did not disappoint in Texas. Some nerves got to him when the competition first started. His first throw was poor. He fouled the second. But by his third throw, Hassan settled in and hurled the shot 20.36 meters — a mark that Bedard and Hassan were pretty comfortable would win the meet. But Hassan was not done. “By the last throw, I was really confident and really relaxed,” Hassan said. “So I just went as hard as I could because it was the last indoor meet. It was my best throw. It felt amazing.” With nothing on the line but personal expectations, Hassan hit 21.27 on his sixth throw — the best one — to bring the house down and widen his championship win to almost 4 feet, 7 inch-

Hassan had his championship moment, and it felt amazing, but he did not even know the full significance of his accomplishment until reading a recap after the meet. He was the first shot put national champion in CSU history, and the first individual national champion at the school since 2005. “To see him do it at the time with all the pressure on and to have his training come together... to have the mental side of it come together, and be able to technically pull it off and do it the way he did….yeah, it’s something I’ll never forget,” Bedard said. Comfort Zone When Hassan first came to Colorado State, he was in a much different position then he is now. Though he speaks English, and started off college at The American University in Cairo, coming to America had its challenges for Hassan. “I mean heck, it’s probably like coming from another planet — just socially and how everything works here,” Bedard said. With the cultural differences hard enough to get used to on their own, Hassan had to deal with the fact that he was 6,800 miles from home. He had never been on his own before. Bedard said that he could see that Hassan was quiet and uncomfortable at first, but as his time spent at CSU has grown, so has his comfort level.

“I just got used to being away from my family more,” Hassan said. “I used to hate being away. Now, it’s not that bad as it used to be.” “This year, he is just more mature. Just seeing him be able to relax, and see his personality come out and his confidence come out has been really fun to watch,” Bedard said. Anyone familiar with track and field knows the rhythmic clap started by athletes before an event. Early on, Bedard said Hassan would have never asked for that. It takes a lot of confidence as an athlete. In his final throw at nationals, Hassan was initiating the
clap before he stepped into the circle. It is the little things like that show how far Hassan has come. And for Hassan, he got some comfort from home when his older brother Ahmed travelled to College Station for nationals. When Hassan first came to CSU, he was following in his brother’s footsteps. Ahmed Hassan came to the U.S. a year earlier than Mostafa, where Ahmed competed in shot put at Arizona State University. When Mostafa qualified for nationals, Ahmed, who was back home in Cairo, was not going to pass up the opportunity to come see HASSAN on page 14 >>

>> HASSAN from page 10 home in Cairo, was not going to pass up the opportunity to come support his brother. “I was very excited to be honest,” Ahmed said. “I made sure I cheered him on as much as I could, and I gave him some pep talks when I saw him struggling after the first two throws.” The two brothers roomed together, and the older one helped the younger one make it through the weekend mentally. “It was a great weekend for him and me, and one I won’t be forgetting anytime soon,” Ahmed said. “It was really great to have him with me,” Mostafa said. “He just kept giving me confidence. It just felt really good to have one of my family members watch me compete. It was a big push for me.” A good deal of Hassan’s growth at CSU has to do with how supportive his teammates have been — on and off the track. Bedard said that none of the other athletes ever skipped a beat in welcoming Hassan and cheering him on in his events. And Bedard says that though some foreign athletes do not buy into the whole team concept, Hassan has done that and then some. He is loyal to his teammates, and they are loyal to him. “He is a guy who will give you advice and help you with technique, but he is also one of my best friends right now,” senior thrower Daniel Weirich said. Weirich, who bonded with
Hassan early last Fall, says that at times, he feels privileged to even be in Hassan’s company. After all, Hassan is a national champion. But he also says that Hassan is humble, and “just like anyone else.” And for teammates and coach alike, it is fun to watch Hassan’s sarcastic personality come out as he has progressed at CSU. “No joke, he’s one of the funniest people once you get to know him,” Weirich said. “That’s his thing. (He’s) just a funny, light-hearted guy.” “It’s just much more comfortable for me right now,” Hassan said. “The only struggle right now is just school work and that’s it. Everything else is fine. This is one of my hardest semesters, but oh well, I just have to work hard.” Pursuits Hassan may say “oh well,” when talking about school, but to be sure, that is not the attitude he carries in the classroom. Hassan is just as invested in his mechanical engineering degree as the shot put. His interest in engineering started early. He has always liked cars, and diving into engines instilled in him the curiosity of how things work. It also helped that his father is an engineer back in Cairo. “As kids, we were both so passionate about cars and engines,” Ahmed said. “With my father being an engineer as well, we learned a lot growing up as
kids. I think that fueled the fire of being an engineer for him.” “All of the subjects, I find them really interesting,” Mostafa said. “The machinery and manufacturing — all of that stuff is interesting to me and that’s what I want to do when I graduate.” Now, he is right in the middle of the grind. Both on and off the track. Sometimes, the two worlds collide. Being an engineer, it is only natural that Hassan would try to understand the inner workings of an intensely technical sport like shot put, where the physics of force and trajctory reign. “I think about it sometimes,” Hassan says with a smile. “Like with (using) physics to try and calculate how much force is needed to throw the shot 20-meters, and (I try) to just have fun with it sometimes.” His enthusiasm in both subjects is evident, though Hassan is quick to add with a laugh — “I have not actually taken the time to make any calculations yet.” His interest may be raised with the physics of the sport of shot put, but that is not where it ends. “Whenever I am walking around campus, I just compare everything I see to what I learn in class and try to see how that thing works,” Hassan said. “Now I understand how a lot of things work for my classes, so whenever I see the thing I am studying in class, I just try to understand it the way I do in the class.”
And if you really wanted to know just how invested Hassan is in engineering — ask the coach. Bedard tells a story about last year’s Jack Christiansen Invite at CSU. Everything about that day was set up to try and have Hassan hit the olympic standard mark. Bleachers and fans surrounded the circle, music blared in the background. But when Bedard saw Hassan walk up to him that day, he looked in his eyes, and the coach knew that the standard would not be hit. Little did Bedard know, Hassan had a big engineering project due the night before. When Bedard asked Hassan what was wrong the Saturday of the meet, Hassan said he had been up all night working on the project. “That’s how important it is for him,” Bedard said. “He had a lot riding on (that day), but engineering is just as (important), if not more so because that is his career and that’s his life. He is going to do everything he can to do well in both, but I think it stacks up there right with his track accomplishments. He wants to be very successful. He takes his studies very seriously and it has affected his training at times — but I am willing to accept that — because I know how important it is to him.” “It is crazy to see because he is such a great athlete,” Weirich said of Hassan’s dedication to school. “He is a hard working guy. He always gets through his
workout and then goes to the library. He is probably the hardest worker I know right now in that area.” For now, Hassan’s plan is to pursue both career options for as long as he can. After he graduates, Hassan wants to move home and join his father. He also plans to come back to Colorado State for a month or two out of the year for an extended “training camp” in shot put. “It is going to give me a little more freedom to be able to do shot and work as an engineer at the same time,” Hassan said. “I am going to try and balance between the two until I retire from shot and just do engineering.” From the recent trajectory of Hassan’s shot put career, when he hangs up his throwing shoes for a full-time engineering job is largely up to him. But for right now, Hassan is focused on winning another national title at NCAA outdoors in June and placing top eight at the world outdoor championships in London in August. And then there’s always Tokyo — site of the 2020 olympics. He is a big man with undeniably big plans, and a stringent dedication for sport and school. Hassan is going to be successful wherever he goes, that much is clear. Where that is, and what is in his hand when gets there — only time will tell. Eric Wolf can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

SOFTBALL
Colorado State to face strong San Jose State rotation By Austin White @ajwrules44
Colorado State will look to be back in the winning column this weekend as they are heading to California to take on San Jose this for a three-game series April 7-9. After losing two of three games to SDSU, the Rams (16-12, 4-5 Mountain West) currently sit in a four-way tie for fifth place in conference, two games back of Utah State (23-8, 6-3 MW) are in first and the Spartans (23-12, 3-3 MW) are in fourth, one and a half games back. The series will not be played at San Jose’s normal field, however, as they are waiting on construction of their new field to be completed. The three game series will take place at Mission College as will the rest of the Spartans remaining home games this season. The field will not be the only unfamiliar site for CSU, as the Spartans’ greatest strength this season has been pitching, where in year’s past it has been an explosive offense leading the way. SJSU’s senior pitchers, Katelyn Linford and Colette Riggs, are tied for fourth in the MW with their ERAs at 2.32. Linford also leads the conference in strikeouts with 138, seven of which came in her five inning no-hitter over the Nevada Wolfpack back on March 18.

GIAN
Overall, the Spartans have a 3.23 team ERA lead the MW in strikeouts (182). CSU batters are third in conference in strikeouts with 147 trips back to the dugout. “In the past they have just been stacked with offense, one through nine,” head coach Jen Fisher said. “We have been letting the players familiarize themselves a little bit without over analyzing…we got to go in there prepared for solid pitching.” The Spartans pitchers are not without their own mistakes though as they have given up the third most walks in the MW with 91 free bases given away. CSU batters have shown patience at the plate this season, sitting second in conference drawing 120 trips down the first base line. Plate discipline will be a
factor in the series, something coach Fisher believes is the key to every game. “It always is for us,” Fisher said. “We definitely have been trying to do a better job battling at the plate, in the games we have been able to do that we have been successful.” Last weekend, the Rams handily beat New Mexico 12-2 in their first game but fell apart in the next two. The defense allowed four unearned runs in one inning in a 7-3 loss in game two of the series and the pitching gave up 15 hits in their 8-6 loss in game three. Sophomore catcher Amber Nelson lost her lead in the batting average (.447) but still leads the conference in home runs (10), on-base percentage (.578) and has nearly a 100-point lead
in slugging percentage (.882). Her 30 RBIs are the most on the team and her 21 walks are third most in conference. Senior Haley Hutton has also been dynamic this season, most notably in conference play where her 16 runs scored are the most from Mountain West play and her 33 runs scored on the season are the second most in conference. Pitching and defense will have to step up and match the offense as they have given up the most runs in conference play (57) and the pitchers rank sixth in conference with a 4.83 ERA. “We have gone up against some hot hitters so far,” Fisher said. “(We are going) in there and saying who is going to beat us and who are we going to not let beat us…we are going to try to make them hit our pitch.”
As for common opponents, the only non-conference foe CSU and SJSU shared was Weber State who CSU defeated 4-0 on February 19 and the Spartans lost to the Wildcats 4-1 the same day. The Spartans are also coming off a 1-2 series loss to SDSU who the Rams defeated in two out of three games two weeks ago. “Every time we give them an extra out, that’s costing us,” Fisher said. “When we are playing our best we are working together, pitching, defense, offense.” The series gets underway Friday at 1 p.m. and the games Saturday and Sunday are scheduled for the same time. However, rain is in the forecast for Friday and Saturday. Austin White can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

ANALYSIS
Confronting the myth of Colorado athlete’s altitude advantage By Sean Kennedy @seanskenn
Colorado sports fans have heard all the jeers. “How do you breathe up here?” “Our boys aren’t used to playing at this altitude!” “It’s not fair, your players LIVE here!” For many, the idea of playing Denver teams at altitude remains an interesting part of sports mysticism. Some claim the significant difference in elevation gives Denver-based teams a distinct home-field advantage, while others think it does not make any difference. Those who believe in the advantage point to the fact that the Broncos have the best home record since 1975, and note that certain players, such as former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark, being unable to play in Denver in the past due to various health conditions. So, is the legendary altitude advantage actually a real thing? Analysis of Denver’s largest sports teams suggests otherwise. The Broncos, those of the best home record in the NFL since 1975, have actually performed slightly below league average at home since 2002. When adjusted for strength of record
per year, the Broncos have actually won two games less than league average over the past 15 seasons. The Broncos performed at a league-average rate at home in eight of the 15 seasons analyzed and only deviated from the average by more than one game once — when they lost two more home games than average in the 2011 season. Ultimately, such a small margin of below-average performance is not going to affect the Broncos’ season-to-season performance, but the numbers demonstrate that the Broncos are a league-average team at home and that any altitude advantage they might have does not reflect itself in the wins column. But what about the other Denver teams? The Rockies, on the other hand, provide far more interesting data for consideration. The sluggers from Coors Field have performed above league average at home since 2002, having won 49 games more than league average over the past 15 seasons (after adjustment for strength of record). The Rockies exceeded the league average for their home win record in 13 of the 15 seasons analyzed, deviating from the average by more than six wins in 2002, 2003 and 2014.
However, the Rockies’ numbers are a bit inflated when compared to those of teams from other sports because baseball teams play far more games than any other sport. In comparison, the Rockies play about twice as many home games as the Nuggets, and more than 10 times as many home games as the Broncos. So in reality, while winning three more home games than league average every year would provide a massive advantage in football, it is not particularly significant in baseball. Furthermore, because the sample size for home games is so high in baseball, it would take an even-greater above average home win margin to establish a statistically valid concept of an advantage season-to-season. So while winning three or more home games than average a season (which they have done in seven of the past 15 seasons) might seem significant in the Rockies’ case, it would take a consistent performance above average by at least eight wins — something they have only done twice in the past 15 seasons — to substantiate an argument for a competitive advantage. Three extra home wins, the Rockies’ average performance above league average, constitutes less than 5 percent of their home games.
The Nuggets are another example of this. They have performed above league-average at home, adjusted for strength of record, for the past 14 seasons since 2002 (not including the current 2016-2017 season), but have not done so at a statistically relevant level. The Nuggets have won 16 more games than average for their record over the past 14 seasons, which amounts to a little bit more than one win over average every season. That is not nearly enough to be statistically significant or to make much of a difference in their performance season-to-season, as one win at the Pepsi Center comprises less than 3 percent of their total
home games. So from a statistics standpoint, the case would seem to be clear: Denver teams do not have an unfair advantage at home. However, the famed altitude of the Mile High City still impacts athletes. Its effects, though they may not be reflected in the win-loss column, can still affect games. The case of former NFL player Ryan Clark stands out as a particularly relevant example. Clark grew severely ill after playing in Denver in October 2007. He was hospitalized overnight and eventually shed 40 pounds and had to have his spleen and gallbladder removed see ALTITUDE on page 22 >>

‘I can do this forever’: CSU sociology student doubles as passionate landscape photographer By Zoe Jennings @zoe_jennings4
For Daniel de La Fé, his photographs represent more than just a pretty landscape or a clean editing job. His photographs remind him of his best memories. As de Le Fé fondly looks through his portfolio of pictures, he remembers a quirky man putting his bunny slippers into a mountain lake on a backpacking
trip and taking pictures during a 12-mile hike despite unbearable mosquitos that forced him to synch his hood up all the way. He remembers sleeping in all day during a camping trip and finally getting up to take a picture of raindrops sitting on a leaf and traveling across the country specifically to take a picture of a scenic lake but skipping stones for hours beforehand. “That whole day is that pho-

to,” said the senior at Colorado State University studying sociology. “It’s so much fun.” De La Fé specializes in nature photography. He often goes camping with friends while he takes his pictures. For him, those good memories are “frozen in time” through his photography, even if it is the worst photo he has ever taken, he said. De La Fé first got into photography when his dad let him borrow his camera during his senior year of high school, eventually giving him that camera when he began his freshmen year of college. At first, he used photography as a way to document his life. “I like going places,” de La Fé said. “I don’t keep any journals or anything. So, I see things and I can go back to that memory with pictures.” After buying a new camera along with new lenses, de La Fé soon realized that his hobby was an expensive one. He then branched out to other forms of photography. “I like doing nature photography the most, but people make me money,” de La Fé said. De La Fé is a part of the Khi Alpha Christian Ministry called Outpost and is in the Air Force ROTC at CSU. According to him, a lot of his friends from these groups get engaged. “A lot of my friends get engaged, so I’m like well if you don’t wanna pay a lot of money and I need some new camera gear, let’s see what we can do,” de La Fé said. De La Fé shoots engagement photos for friends and charges two-thirds of what other photographers charge, he said. “If people want photos but can’t afford it, I work with them to get a price they can afford,” de La Fé said. Carter Stoudt and his fiancé knew de La Fé from their Outpost Christian group. They hired de La Fé to take their en-
gagement photos. “We really like the photos he had done for our friends so we decided to use his,” Stoudt said. “We wanted to support our friend and his photography hobby.” De La Fé took their photos on CSU’s campus. “It was really easy because we both were comfortable around him,” Stoudt said. Although de La Fé’s focus is on landscape photography, he likes interacting with people, he said. “I love engagements,” de La Fé said. “Engagements are awesome. The more the people love each other, the better they turn out.” Blue Willis is a friend of de La Fé’s and gets photography help from him. “I was interested, and I came to him when I wanted to buy a camera,” said the CSU student majoring in human development and family studies with a minor in Spanish. As they grew to be closer friends, they would go on photography trips when de La Fé would give him instructions. “He’s awesome,” Willis said. “One of the coolest people
I think I have met in my life, just super energetic and always loves. Every time you see him, he’s got a smile on his face. He might be the only person I’ve known who likes to hug people more than I do. As a photographer, he’s awesome there too. I look at his photos a lot for inspiration.” Willis is most inspired by de La Fé’s landscape photography. “His landscape photos are awesome,” Willis said. “I’d say that’s where he’s helped me with the most.” During his career, ed La Fé has presented is work in the Fort Collins community. He had a three-month exhibit at Big Al’s. He takes pictures for Skye Luxe Clothing, Air BnB and has worked with the “Fashion Report” magazine. He has also done graduation photos, family shoots and photos at wedding rehearsal dinners. According to de La Fé, he will have his dream job after he graduates. He has been selected to be a public affairs officer in the Air Force. For the job, he will be able to use photography and videography to make commercials for the Air Force. see STUDENT on page 22 >>

Clark’s story is significant because his sickle cell condition (not to be confused with sickle cell disease) is not that rare, affecting over 2 million people in the United States.
