Jessup Farm’s Bindle Coffee and Hey Day celebrates first year of business By Nicole Towne @CSU_Collegian
Two local businesses run by two dynamic duos will celebrate their first year of business with one evening of festivities. Hey Day, a boutique owned by Jennifer and Ryan Little, and Bindle Coffee, a coffee shop owned by Andrew and Jenn Webb, are located just steps away from each other in the newly established Jessup Farm Artisan Village. Bindle Coffee and Hey Day both opened their businesses on
August 22, 2015 and will be each be hosting an anniversary celebration on Friday, August 26, at Jessup Farm Artisan Village this evening. Over a century ago, the artisan village was an agricultural homestead owned and operated by the Jessup family. The land changed hands multiple times before being sold to Bellisimo Inc. in 2011. Soon after, it was transformed into the artisan village and surrounding Bucking Horse residential neighborhood. Original structures from the farm have been restored and now
house Bindle Coffee, Hey Day and other neighboring shops. When Bindle Coffee and Hey Day opened their doors roughly one year ago, the village was mostly empty. Since then, the community-focused area has grown immensely to include multiple homes and nine additional businesses that range from photography to food and drink. Little said Bindle and Hey Day’s joint opening was not a coincidence. “It was intentional,” Jennifer Little said. “We were both ready

to get in here once the construction was complete. We wanted to have as big of bang for the buck as possible when we first opened.” With one year down, both companies have settled in and found their niche. Hey Day Hey Day focuses on women’s apparel, home goods and natural apothecary items such as soaps, perfumes and makeup. Jennifer Little said the style at Hey Day is simple, yet fashionable. “(It’s) easy, effortless (and) comfortable with a little bit of an edge,” Jennifer Little said. The store imbeds its effortless and comfortable style into the store’s atmosphere by utilizing natural light from the large glass windows, white walls, wooden display tables and small elegant chandeliers. Jennifer Little said the store has been an asset to herself and the community. “I’ve seen that the ladies in Fort Collins just love the clothing,” Jennifer Little said.”I’m excited to bring in more clothing and keep things coming in. We turn over inventory weekly, so we’re constantly getting in new products.” Hey Day is looking forward to the year ahead and hopes to continue to introduce new merchandise and bring new people into the store. “We’ve already established a great customer base, but it continues to grow,” said Rachael Crain, store employee and CSU apparel and merchandising student. “I’m excited to see what another year does.” Hey Day will be holding a see BUSINESS on page >>

GLBTQQA Resource Center changes name By Nicole Towne @nicole_towne21
As the GLBTQQA Resource Center at Colorado State University enters its 19th year on campus, it abandons the lengthy acronym in favor of a single word: pride. Located in room 232 of the Lory Student Center, the Pride Resource Center, formerly known as the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Queer Questioning Allies Resource Center, offers an inclusive, safe space where people can study, congregate, learn or just relax. The former name was replaced due to concerns that not everyone felt welcomed, specifically people who identify as asexual, pansexual, intersex or gender queer according to Pride Resource Center Director Aaric Guerriero. “I recognized that there were folks that existed and lived on campus that wanted to connect with the center, but did not see themselves (as) representative of the center name,” Guerriero said. Guerriero said he found that
some individuals didn’t like the name and were disrespectful towards the acronym. “The more that I spoke to people, the more I found people really dismissive of our name
The students are finding the name fitting , but are also aware that a name isn’t everything.
who didn’t take the time to get the letters correct,” Guerriero said. “That’s really dismissive to identities.” About a year ago, Guerriero talked to his staff about the
prospect of changing the center’s name. After discussions about possible names took place, a survey listing four possible titles for the center went out, and over 300 responses were received. Out of the four candidates, two rose to the top. The top choice was the Pride Resource Center and the second was the Queer and Trans Resource Center. Both names were sent to the administration for approval, and the Pride Resource Center was selected. “We think it’s a really great name. We’ve gotten nothing, but really positive feedback,” Guerriero said. “I think it takes away the frustration of people not seeing themselves in our name. I think it makes it more accessible, and it’s a step I’m really excited about moving forward.” The students are finding the name fitting, but are also aware that a name isn’t everything. “I like the new name a lot. It was definitely a difficult decision,” senior statistics major Ashley Brown said, who works for the center. “It was never going to be perfect. It was never going to be everyone’s favorite
name, and we knew that.” For senior art major Nathan Klein, the name is better at avoiding what he called an “alphabet soup” acronym, but the name also neglects to recognize that coming out for everyone might not be a prideful experience. “For many students it may be about coming to terms with who they are, rather than having to automatically be joyous and prideful about their orientation,” Klein said Sophomore social work major Grace Grooms, appreciates the simpler name as well as the support the center has provided her. After coming out as gender-fluid and pansexual, she was able to find a welcoming community, unlike the small town she grew up in. “It was nice to come in here and feel very welcomed with open arms,” said Grooms. “I know that if I ever just need to relax or feel more comfortable, I can just come in here, sit on the couch and take a nap if I want to.” The Pride Resource center is busy planning upcoming events
and programs. This year they are launching the Safe Zone Project, which is an information and learning session geared to make people more aware, accepting and respectful of those with different identities. “Safe zone is a three-hour session inviting facility, staff and student leaders to come and join us to learn about how they can create a more equitable and inclusive environment at CSU,” Guerriero said. “We focus on terminology. We talk about ways to be supportive. We talk about heterosexual privilege, and then we do some scenario work.” Upcoming events include the Queer-B-Q, which will be held in conjunction with campus groups Prism and Colors, on September 7 at 5:30 p.m. at City Park and the leadership retreat which will be held at the CSU Mountain Campus September 9 through 11.

Colorado activists to petition Obama to protect Grand Canyon from toxic mining By Erik Petrovich @EAPetrovich
While many of us think of the Grand Canyon as a national icon, according to the White House, it is not yet a recognized national monument. Activist group Environment Colorado wants to change that. A nationwide effort by Environment Colorado is underway to protect the Grand Canyon from further degradation due to uranium mining, which the group claims has caused toxic spills that damage the water quality of the Colorado River. “Uranium mining—which often requires vast open pits, spreads radioactive dust through the air, and leaks radioactivity and toxic chemicals into the environment—is among the riskiest industrial activities in the world,” Katie Otterbeck, a spokesperson for Environment Colorado, wrote in an e-mail to the Collegian. “Uranium mining has left a toxic trail across the West—including at the Grand Canyon itself; four streams in the national park suffer from some degree of uranium contamination after mining activity occurred in the area.” The group seeks to petition President Obama to designate the Grand Canyon area as a national monument through powers granted by the Antiquities Act of 1906, which would grant the area the same protection as a national park. The major difference between the two is that a national park is created by Congress, while the acting president can sign an executive order bypassing congress to protect an area. Such an action would not be unprecedented. On August 24, President Obama declared that more than 80,000 acres of the North Maine Woods were to become a national monument in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the National Parks Service. “While the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument would permanently protect 1.7 million acres of critical land just outside of the park, it would currently only stop new uranium mines,” Otterbeck wrote. “At least one mine – the Canyon Mine – claims they would be allowed to continue operations just six miles from the South Rim.” Emma Spett, a campaign organizer for grassroots cam-

paign management non-profit We Are Impact, helped to spread the word of the group at a press conference Wednesday morning. “The Colorado river watershed provides water downstream, but wastewater has already degraded the quality of the Grand Canyon,” Spett said. “It would be very easy for him (Obama) protect the Grand Canyon as well.” Spett said that wastewater from uranium mines has killed wildlife, poisoned natural plants and caused a degradation of agriculture downstream. Otterbeck wrote that despite the Grand Canyon being
located two states away, Colorado has a vital role to play in protecting the national icon, calling it a “national treasure.” “I bet thousands of Colorado families have made the road trip to the Grand Canyon, the same way many families go to the Rocky Mountains,” Otterbeck wrote. “We all want this special place to be protected for the next 100 years and beyond. We know that in order for President Obama to take this action, he needs to see broad support from across the nation, not just in Arizona, which is why we’re asking Coloradans to speak up.” Erik Petrovich can be reached at news@collegian.com
The Chair of Colorado Democratic Party, Rick Palacio, held a press conference on campus Wednesday with a small group of CSU students to speak about the upcoming Senate election. In the Lory Student Center Sculpture Garden, Palacio and CSU students focused their remarks on Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) and the incumbent’s Republican opponent, Darryl Glenn. “(Glenn’s) extreme policies show how he is out of touch and wrong for Colorado students,” Palacio said. Palacio cited Glenn’s support of abolishing the Department of Education to claim that Glenn would “really set us back when it comes to students who rely on loans and Pell grants.” According to Glenn’s campaign website, Glenn does not want to cut “one dime out of education,” but wants to take control of education from the federal government. Students in support of the Democratic Party spoke out against this plan. “Without federal student loans I would not be able to go to school,” said Asia Kawamura, a freshman psychology student. “They allow me to focus on my education… Darryl Glenn does not speak for me as a student.” Anna Porter, a senior political science student, spoke about the importance for Americans to have access to higher education.
“I wouldn’t be able to attend college without my Pell grant,” Porter said. “It has helped me with rent, textbooks, tuition and food.” In a June Denver Post article, Glenn said that he wants to “better educate” college students on the risks of high student debt and help college students find alternatives to taking out student loans. Glenn said he does not believe the federal government has a responsibility to help students with debt. Members of the CSU College Republicans group were not present at the press conference, but questioned whether Bennet would actually benefit college students. “Senator Bennet has actively voted against legislation that would have made college more affordable for CSU students,” sociology junior Caspian Banki wrote in an e-mail to the Collegian. “Darryl Glenn… has a vision of economic prosperity for all students who are willing to take on the financial burden of pursuing a degree in higher education.” As of Aug. 18, a survey of likely Colorado voters showed Bennet leading by 16 percentage points, according to the Denver Business Journal. “The issue of college affordability is at the forefront of every CSU’s student’s mind during this upcoming election,” Banki wrote.

Native plant tour brings FoCo gardeners to Nix Farms By Savannah Hoag @sav_hoag
People of all ages joined the Fort Collins Natural Areas Department for a guided native Colorado plants tour at Nix Farms Aug. 23. Sally Guthart, a Colorado landscaper, and David Tweedale led about 15 community members through Nix Farms’ native plant gardens despite harsh wind and rain. Both Guthart and Tweedale are volunteers for the Natural Areas Department. “The hearty nature of gardeners really shows at times like these,” Tweedale said. “You don’t find many warm-weather gardeners willing to stand in the wind and rain for the sake of plants.” Since 2002, Nix Farms Natural Areas has not only been the headquarters for the Fort Collins Natural Areas Department, but also a garden filled with over 40 plants native to Colorado. According to Guthart, these plants have been in Colorado since before European settlement. “The good thing about native
plants is that they’re adapted to our environment,” Guthart said. “They can stand through almost any type of weather.” The native plants tour is only one of about 125 community programs the department offers local residents to learn more

about the environment. These programs can vary from seed collecting to gardening. “These events are designed to connect people back to the earth,” said Emily Olivio, community programs educator.
“We try to do that in a variety of ways. Sometimes it’s as simple as a nature hike.” Nix Farms is not the only place home to native Colorado plants in an urban area. Colorado State University contains the same plants on campus in Sherwood Forest, the namesake of the area of trees just in front of the Warner College. “The benefit of planting natives (plants) in urban landscapes is that they create habitats,” Guthart said. “It provides for native pollinators and native animals in the area.” According to Guthart, CSU students frequent the farm to perform studies of pollinators on these native plants as well as observe the plants for classes. Fort Collins contains 46 natural areas with Nix Farms being a small glimpse of Colorado’s natural beauty. The upkeep of these areas is done by a large number of volunteers willing to spend hours beautifying the community around them. The department offers volunteer opportunities. Tweedale
has been volunteering with the Natural Areas Department for three years. “I’m not a plants guy,” Tweedale said. “I know the critters, and I know nothing about birds.” The next outdoor event at Nix Farms, Campfire at Nix Farms: The Full Moon in Fall, on Sept. 22 from 7-8:30 p.m. is de-
signed to bring awareness of the outdoor community. “We want to connect people to the land in a way that’s more than just learning about it, in a way that’s more hands on and in a way that’s more fun for some people,” Olivio said. Savannah Hoag can be reached at news@collegian.com

Majority of dorm room items purchased this week will be thrown out in May By Sarah Ross
@HowSarahTweets
On the day of freshmen move in, nearly every Walmart shopper had two carts full of dorm-room essentials. However, many of the items in those carts will end up in the trash or re-sold next May after less than a year of use. This past May, all the items left behind, donated or abandoned from the residence halls added up to about $30,000 in profits, even though many were drastically marked down. Items were sold by the CSU Surplus Store and collected through a program called “Leave it Behind.” “We collected 45,903 pounds of items,” said Jake Drenth, surplus property manager. “Of that, 34,427 pounds were of items [that] were in a condition that was okay to sell.” Another 10,000 pounds of items were thrown away for being dirty, damaged, or used.
Some of the waste can be attributed to products designed for dorm rooms that become irrelevant for a furnished apartment: small furniture, storage containers, mini-fridges and microwaves. Beds provided by the University are twin extra large, and force students to buy specific bedding. An article from Buzzfeed went viral over a debate on how much should be spent on a dorm room, and several sources report that the amount students will spend on dorm room supplies is nearing the amount they spend on textbooks. The College Board estimates that a full-time undergraduate student at a four-year public college student spends $1,200 per year purchasing textbooks. According to estimates by Business Insider and The National Retail Federation, the furniture, bedding, toiletries, shoes, clothes and electronics purchased for a dorm room can cost, on aver-
age, between $800 and $900, with some spending much more. “Clothing and bedding accounted for 10,305 pounds (of products left behind),” Drenth said. “The remaining 24,122 pounds were a mix of everything else: school supplies and books, kitchen supplies, furniture, appliances, games, electronics, organizers and really so much more.” Not all of the items collected by “Leave it Behind” were sold in the sale, and many are still available at the Surplus Center, located on Lake Street, west of the train tracks. The annual sale occurs every June. “Residents do bring a lot of stuff,” said Kat Fuentez, a Newsom resident assistant. “People will bring (full) pick up trucks. A lot of residents bring in futons, and most rooms will have at least fridges and microwaves.” Sarah Ross can be reached at news@collegian.com.

CSU moving from fall camp to game week By Eric Wolf @Eric_Wolf5
Monday marked the first day of classes at Colorado State University. For the football team, that meant taking the field for fall camp practice number 20 on the same day that they returned to class. Going back to school for most students is taxing. So is working through another practice in fall camp. It’s just that now another aspect is added to the routine. It’s enough to take a toll on the players. “When you start back up in school sometimes you go on a little bit of a lull,” coach Mike Bobo said. “You are tired of practicing each other, you are ready to get in the season and play.” “You get to the point where everyone is calling out everyone’s plays (and) everyone knows what everyone is doing,” safety Jake Schlager said. “Everyone is just tired of hitting each other. We are just ready to go down the road and hit someone else for a change.” That opportunity to hit someone else for a change is less than eight days away. There is finally an opponent coming in to view. That looming contest, the Rocky Mountain showdown against the University of Colorado, has signaled a break in the fall camp routine. The team has been practic-
ing some specific CU gameplan material since early last week, but up until Saturday’s scrimmage, the primary focus was still on fall practice. That means players were focused on improving themselves and internalizing their concepts, while coaches were trying to find out which players they could depend on and the ones who knew what to do. Now, the focus has shifted off of their own team and onto the opposing one. “It’s knowing what the opponent does, what they like to do, their tendencies and how we’re gonna do that,” Schlager said. “So I think the transition to that is more focused on the other team and not just about us.” Colorado State University football practice on August 8th, 2016 (Luke Walker/ Collegian) Cornerback #5 Tyree Simmons at Colorado State University football fall camp (Luke Walker/ Collegian) That transition from fall camp to game preparation gives a new look to the players. Now instead of just working against each other, they are starting to work against CU’s concepts. holding scout periods, getting different looks in practice and working with a gameplan offer up a change of pace for the players. “I’m excited to learn what we are going against,” linebacker Kevin Davis said. “To recognize
those formations (and) recognize what they are gonna run on a certain down or out of what personnel they are going to run it. It’s just doing straight goodon-good or running against our own offense for the entire fall camp to actually getting used to what the other offense is gonna run at CU. It’s fun.” Though it did get old after awhile and the team is starting to take the focus off of practicing against each other, there is one advantage of heading into the CU game after competing with each other for the entirety of fall camp. CSU and CU run the same defensive scheme. It’s not identical by any means, but both teams run a three-four defensive alignment. Coach Bobo said that practicing against their own defense all spring and fall camp has helped the offense, and especially the younger guys, get a jump on recognizing CU’s defense. Still, the focus was all internal. All of the energy was directed against each other. A different outlet for all of that energy sits a little bit more than a week away. “The testosterone has definitely built over camp,” Schlager said. “I mean you get (eight) days and the testosterone is gonna break loose and we are gonna be flying around. Everyone is looking forward to that.” Coach Bobo stressed that the energy is something that needs to be held in check. He knows his
team is excited, and they should be excited, it’s the Rocky Mountain Showdown. But the coach stressed that there is still plenty of time to get better between now and the game. It’s not all game-plan work, they have to get themselves ready to go, one day at a time. The team can not get too caught up in the pre-game excitement, just like they can’t get caught up in a fall camp lull. “These guys ought to be en-
joying the moment because if you wait until the CU game to say ‘hey, I’m ready to enjoy it, I’m ready to play’ we are gonna get our tails whipped,” Bobo said. “That’s what I keep preaching, that we can’t flip a switch and say we are ready to play because there is 65,000 plus in the stands. We gotta be working every day because we know they are.” Eric Wolf can be reached by email at sports@collegian.com

Colorado State soccer hopes to have a big weekend at home By Colton Strickler @coltonstrickler
The Colorado State women’s soccer team is looking to bounce back from Sunday’s 2-1 loss to the University of Colorado that capped the opening weekend of the 2016 season. Colorado State (1-1-0) will continue their barrage of non-conference opponents this weekend with a two game home stand when they take on the University of Northern Colorado (1-0-1) on Friday and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (1-0-1) on Sunday. Friday’s match will be the first game back at The Lagoon for the Rams, something that has got head coach Bill Hempen excited for a few reasons. “Let me give some props to our guys that take care of our field,” Hempen said. “That’s an I.M. field that they’ve turned into Wembley Stadium.” Along with the fact that his
team is playing on the new-andimproved field at The Lagoon, Hempen is also excited to take on his good friend and Bears’ head coach Tim Barrera. “He’s a good friend of mine. He’s a good coach.” Hempen said. “ I expect kind of a chess match going on because we’re going to be trying to out do each other a little bit.” The Rams’ second match of the weekend will be a less familiar one. The only other meeting between the Rams and the Cougars took place in 2013, Colorado State’s inaugural season, and ended in a 1-1 draw. Sunday’s loss to CU could be attributed to the fact that the Rams found themselves stuck without the ball, something that Hempen said could be a problem leading up to the game. This week, Hempen says the focus has shifted to making their possessions count. “We’ve gotten a lot better at being able to keep the ball,”
Hempen said. “If we can continue to build off the time of possession, so to speak, in the game and be a little bit more efficient with our attack it gives us a legitimate opportunity to have a successful weekend.” The two matches this weekend will give Hempen the chance to figure out who his team’s starting goalkeeper will be, a question he hopes to have a definitive answer to by the time conference play begins. “We came into the season with three completely untested collegiate goalkeepers,” Hempen said. “We are kind of reserving the opportunity to give as many opportunities as we can to see who will eventually emerge as our goalkeeper.” Out of the three goalkeepers on the Rams’ roster, redshirt freshman Sydney Hall has seen a majority of the playing time thus far. In her collegiate debut, Hall’s eight saves in 90 minutes helped lead the Rams to a 2-0
victory over the University of Denver in their season opener. Hall and junior goalkeeper Paige Brandt each played a half in Sunday’s 2-1 loss to CU, each allowing a goal. Friday’s match marks a big weekend of events for CSU, and Hempen hopes that his team can
kick off what should be a great weekend for CSU students in general. “I’m hoping it’s a beautiful sunny day on Friday and everybody wants to come watch the soccer game.” Colton Strickler can be reached at sports@collegian.com

Volleyball opens season against North Dakota State and Saint Mary’s By Michael Roley @Michael_Roley
When the first serve is struck Friday night, a page will be turned for CSU volleyball and a fresh season will begin. Last year’s Mountain West player of the year Adrianna Culbert, as well as defensive superstar Jaime Colaizzi and all-conference player Alex Reid, have graduated and ushered in an opportunity for new players to make their mark. CSU returns several key players from a year ago including preseason all-MW selection Alexandra Poletto, a junior middle blocker who led the team in blocking last season with 1.33 per set and junior Jasmine Hanna returns after averaging 2.29 kills per set. Senior Cassidy Denny is the returning leader defensively after compiling 244 digs last season. Behind that, there will be many new faces on the floor this
weekend for CSU. Head coach Tom Hilbert said he expects five freshman to make their collegiate debuts this weekend, including four who are in their first year of college play. The Rams have a busy opening weekend, taking on North Dakota State at home in their season opener Friday followed by another home match against St. Mary’s on Saturday evening. The quick turnaround is a fairly routine procedure in the early part of the nonconference schedule, according to Hilbert. North Dakota State finished last season 19-12 while going finishing in fourth place in the Summit League. The Bison lost only one starter and return two All-Summit League selections in senior middle blockers Emily Minnick and Emily Miron. NDSU likes to play a fast-paced system with good ball movement that will provide an early test for the Rams.
“They’re a very competitive team,” Hilbert said. “Their system is fast… It really challenges you as a team to prepare properly. They’re going to play faster than we play in practice. You have to try and simulate that in the prepfaration phase. I think from looking at it we match up well with them athletically but they are really fast. They move the ball around a lot.” Meanwhile, Saturday’s opponent, Saint Mary’s found themselves at the cellar of their conference last season, finishing 6-22 and winning only a single game in West Coast Conference play. The Gaels were selected to finish eighth in the 10-team league in the WCC preseason coaches poll. Saint Mary’s and North Dakota State will then square off against each other on Sunday to cap off the weekend. This weekend will kick off a stretch where the Rams will

play six games within an eight day stretch. Regardless of the opponent, after a long offseason CSU is eager to get back on their home floor. “I’m excited to be playing

T.V. shows to watch instead of doing homework By Miranda Moses @CSUCollegian
Unfortunately, at a very young age my parents met some hippies in the forest during a family camping trip and found their crunchy, organic way of life utterly inspirational. Days after our encounter with them, my Pop-Tarts were thrown into the trash and replaced with granola, and a few weeks later I came home after a hard day of second grade to find my cable turned off and my days of watching SpongeBob for hours on end were devastatingly and permanently over. Obviously, this makes me 100 percent qualified to tell you what shows to watch this fall. The following information is
based solely upon what other people have told me, my parents allowing me to watch Netflix as I got older and their taste for Quinoa began to fade, and my access to the internet.
“Atlanta” (FX) I may or may not be suggesting this solely because this new FX series is created by and staring Donald Glover aka rapper Childish Gambino. He has
already proven himself to be both an exceptional writer and actor, writing alongside Tina Fey for the T.V. series “30 Rock” and appearing as Troy Barnes in NBC’s “Community.” This multifaceted entertainer bases this show’s story loosely on his own experiences, sharing the story of two cousins and their start in the Atlanta rap scene. Not only does the show address race and art versus commerce, but the trailers that have come out for it are super weird and artsy and include a lot of people walking backwards. The series is scheduled to premiere September 6, 2016.
“11.22.63” (Hulu) This is an adaption by J.J. Abrams of Stephen King’s Novel “11.22.63” and follows the misadventures of a high school teacher turned time traveler who is determined to go back in time and prevent the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Ultimately, the character, Jake Epping, finds himself facing the
inevitable Butterfly Effect. This show is already streaming in Hulu.
“The Get Down” (Netflix) I originally chose this series to add to this list because I love Netflix originals. They are my life source. Also, the lead kid from the movie “Dope” (Shameik Moore) is in the show, and “Dope” was dope. But after looking into it more thoroughly, I found that this show might actually be one of the most interesting on the list. Not only does the series have a pretty solid casting including Skylan Brooks and Jaden Smith, it is also the most expensive series ever to be produced on Netflix. The series cost $120 million just to produce. The show is created and directed by Baz Luhrmann, who directed the most recent, extravagant adaptation of “The Great Gatsby.” “The Get Down” takes place in New York City during the 1970s and centers around a group of Bronx teenagers and their role in the
birth of hip-hop, punk and disco. Lucky for viewers, this series actually already dropped its first 13 one-hour episodes on Aug. 12, so the Netflix binge can start whenever you’re ready.
“Game of Thrones” (HBO) Due to my aforementioned lack of television in my life, my knowledge of this show is extremely weak and based solely off the people around me who have chosen watching the show as their religion. I’m just going to be straight up honest here, I really don’t understand the hype that surrounds this show. I get that dragons are cool as heck, but if I’m going to truly invest in something where everyone talks in accents and I’m being transcended into another magical world, I’d really rather be watching Harry Potter. This is obviously only my opinion because everyone see T.V. Shows on page 11 >>
ARTS & CULTURE Thursday, August 25, 2016
>> T.V. Shows from page 10 else in the universe cannot wait until this show returns with its 7th season premier. HBO has not released a date for season seven, though it has been predicted that the show will come back earlier than it has been premiered in the past. However, every season up until the anticipated season seven can be streamed via the HBO website and is a perfect way to avoid that paper on colonialism you don’t want to write.
“Animals” (HBO) This is another HBO streamed show that has a season to binge now and then a season to anticipate. This is also one of the most off-putting shows I’ve ever seen in my whole entire life, and I’m suggesting it in this list solely because I need to talk about how weird this show is with someone. This show made me need a support group. It is an animated series and a Duplass Brothers Television production, with each episode centering on a different kind of animal living in New York City. Although it’s a show about animals, they are extremely humanized and often struggle with intense human subjects such as domestic issues and gender identity. These intense themes are interrupted by mildly out-of-place dance breaks and crude humor. Critics don’t even know how to feel about the show, with ratings varying across the board. While I personally share these mixed feelings, my friend’s Dad loves the show, so it’s probably worth watching at least one episode between classes. The second season is set to come out in early 2017, but there is a full season of ten episodes to watch on HBO.com.
“Stranger Things” (Netflix) If you love yourself, you will hop on the bandwagon and watch “Stranger Things” on Netflix. Honestly, I don’t know who I was before I watched this phenomenal piece of media, but I do know that I am a new person now. I’m not usually one to be so down with a thriller, but the Duffer brothers really got me
If you love yourself, you will hop on the bandwagon and watch “Stranger Things” on Netflix. with this one. Featuring Wynona Ryder, the story revolves around a small town set in the 1980s that is set into frenzy after a young boy vanishes without a trace. Everyone looking for the boy experiences confusing, almost paranormal experiences that cannot be explained, and the government seems to be too interested in it. The plot is extremely well developed, with twists and turns for miles, which is honestly half the thrill. Plus, the series so far is only eight one-hour episodes long—a prime binging number. You may not be able to sleep at night after watching this show, but college isn’t about getting a sufficient amount of sleep anyways.
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life (Netflix) I’m sure someone everyone saw that this reboot was announced earlier this year, as every girl ever shared the announcement video on Facebook and the “#blessed” tags were heard around the world. If you haven’t already watched the actual Gilmore Girl T.V. series originally broadcasted on television, all seven seasons are available for streaming. You may not think that a simple story about a single mother raising an exceptionally smart teenage girl with an extremely stressful dating lives to watch ever would have you clicking “next episode,” but this show certainly wraps you up in it. The new episodes will be added to Netflix on November 25, with the majority of the original cast returning to the screen. Miranda Moses can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com

Stettner: Students Have a Vested Interest in Voting This Election Alexandra Stettner @alexstetts
In case you haven’t heard, there’s an election this coming November. Actually, I’m sure it’s impossible for you to not have heard about the candidates and most of the absurdity that has occurred over the last year. With all the media coverage and the growing ridiculousness, it has become difficult to not completely tune everything out. Even as someone who is fascinated by politics, a good part of me wants ignore anything that has to do with the political scene until the election is over.
NOPE
Adding on to the absurdity, the two major presidential candidates are frustrating voters. While the turnout for this year’s election is predicted to be higher than average (following high turnouts for primaries and caucuses earlier this year), belief in actual change to the system (especially after Senator Bernie Sanders’ questioned loss to Secretary Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Primary) is at a low. This is fairly disturbing considering that a good portion of those who believe that are young adults who have a lot of elections and political movements ahead of them, just like all of us here at CSU. As college students, preparing to move forward and hopefully make some kind of change in the world, we should have a vested interest in the future.
The structure for that future depends on those representatives we send to office. And while we are exactly the demographic that will quickly be dealing first hand with the issues politicians debate, we are also the demographic who is becoming most frustrated, cynical, and as a result, disinterested. Turnout may be high this coming election, but if there is no major reform enacted by officials that pleases the wider population, those people may give up and start to accept what is presented to them. This can be dangerous, as change is driven by people who disagree with the status quo. If we are not paying attention to, thinking about, and questioning the status quo, there is no way for change to occur in a positive direction. We could even move backwards.
Not checking the weather before going outside Trying to leave Eddy after class. There’s so many people that if someone sneezes, we’re all gonna get sick, guaranteed The windowless dungeons in Clark C. Literally looks like it was built in 1843.
Now this is an extreme and long-term prediction, but it is possible, considering American politics has always been subject to apathy from their constituents. This election cycle, combined with current social and political issues, is stressing on the reasons Americans demonstrate little interest in politics. I understand, and feel, this apathy. It is so much easier to just throw it all away rather than being passionate and care deeply, only to be disappointed. However, this apathy is what has gotten us into the mess of a presidential election we have right now. What is interesting about America and this scenario in particular is our strong democracy. We have so little care for the system, yet we have such a
strong power to change it. This is especially true in non-presidential elections. Elections for Congress, state legislatures, school boards, city councils, city and state propositions, ballot initiatives, and many others are not subject to the electoral college, and ultimately have a much larger impact on our local communities and daily lives. As the school year begins and conversations develop between our peers, friends, and even professors, keep in mind what you want. Keep in mind what world you want to live in work in, because we have an incredible amount of power to express what we want from our future. Alexandra Stettner can be reached at opinion@collegian. com

Thompson: Women Should Get Just as Much, If Not More, Olympic Recognition Laurel Thompson @laurlanne1996
It doesn’t take an athlete to follow the Olympics. In fact, it is almost impossible not to in this day and age, given the constant media coverage that floods Facebook and takes over every sports bar’s flat screens. Every other summer or winter, it seems as though the world suddenly cares more about badminton, diving and table tennis than the underlying issues surrounding the Olympic Games. Sexism, for example, remains at the forefront of male-centered headlines and chauvinistic commentary, despite this year’s record-breaking female accomplishments in Rio. Two of these headlines in particular are receiving heavy criticism online, as they continue to circulate social media platforms weeks after they were published. On August 7, the Chicago Tribune tweeted, “Wife of a Bears’ lineman wins
a bronze medal today in Rio Olympics,” which includes the link to an article written by Tim Bannon that discusses the couple’s relationship much more thoroughly than Corey Cogdell’s accomplishments as a three-time Olympian. The second headline under scrutiny, an Associated Press article by Paul Newberry, praises Michael Phelps for tying silver in the 100 meter butterfly in bold print above a much smaller sub-head that reads, “Ledecky sets world record in women’s 800 freestyle.” The recurring issue here should be obvious and appalling to anyone who values egalitarianism of the sexes in every aspect of life—including historically male-dominated spheres like athletics. In both cases, the female Olympians’ headlines were obscured by a male reference, therefore implying to them and the rest of the world that even a woman’s record-breaking victory is dismissible in the wake of a man’s lesser one and that even women who earn Olympic titles are not immune to sexist misattribution. Rather than insulting them straightforward-
ly, this kind of chauvinistic and dismissive rhetoric seems to be a growing trend among those who refuse to acknowledge that
As women, we should be given full credit for our own achievements in academia, the workforce and in athletics. Newspaper headlines should boast our names without the need for some kind of male association and our achievements should be given the same recognition as if we were men.
women are as capable of anything as their male counterparts.
How unfortunate that sexism has evolved into something so habitual and easily camouflaged that it continues to pervade the ethical boundaries of major publications. With the exception of famous athletes like Simone Biles and Serena Williams, women are not getting the same attribution and praise for their accomplishments as many of the male Olympians, and the cause is certainly not a lack of participation or talent. According to USA Today, the women on team USA won “29 out of 46 gold medals (63%) and 58 of 103 total medals (56%)” in the 2012 London Olympics and sent a majority female team to Rio this summer. There, women from all over the world dominated the Olympics, but not without incessant coach-praising and other misattributions by the commentary. On August 6, for example, Katinka Hosszu of Hungary set a new world record in the 400-meter individual medley, but NBC announcer Dan Hicks accredited her husband/ coach, Shane Tusup, as “the man responsible.” Since then,
Hicks has responded to a flood of criticism by claiming he wasn’t trying to be malicious, however I almost find this even more appalling due to the fact that something so sexist could be excused as an accident. In this way, misogynistic undertones continue to permeate our everyday language with such frightening normalcy that accountability will become even lesser if a new standard of value for women is not achieved. As women, we should be given full credit for our own achievements in academia, the workforce and in athletics. Newspaper headlines should boast our names without the need for some kind of male association and our achievements should be given the same recognition as if we were men. Yet until enough voices speak out and are heard, we will remain captive to a patriarchal society in which a woman’s success too often prompts the question, “Where is the man pulling the strings?” Collegian Columnist Laurel Thompson can be reached at letters@collegian.com

The Non-Traditional Student: First week back By Ashley Haberman @Ashley_Haberman
The first day (or first couple weeks) of the semester is always an exciting whirlwind of events that can also rack on the nerves. Mobs of students walking through campus, searching for classes, and looking for familiar faces are all a big part of that first week. And everyone’s experience is always different. From a non-traditional student perspective, these first days are full of unique occurrences. Ocean is a non-traditional student and a journalism major originally from Hungary, and he is over a decade older than the average eighteen-year-old freshmen. “I was very nervous this morning because I thought
all the kids wouldn’t like me,” Ocean said about his first day of classes. “It’s much harder to make friends. On the first day of my first semester at CSU, I was so sad because I felt like everyone knew everyone, and I knew no one. I felt so alone.” Aiden, a twenty-one-yearold senior and traditional student has had different experiences with his first day of class. “Ironically on my first day of school here, I didn’t feel alone,” Aiden said. “There were thousands of students all living the same way as me, but I do remember being confused on my first day too.” Being a thirty-one-yearold mom and non-traditional student, I have found that
university life can be quite overwhelming at times as well. Meeting people you can relate to and who have been there, done that when it comes to parties and ditching class can be a challenge. There have been many times during my time at CSU when my fellow classmates don’t study for exams or do the readings, and are completely ok with a C. Not to generalize, but from my time as a student, as well as the time of other non-traditional students I’ve talked to, we are quite the opposite. Getting good grades and out of school as successfully and quickly as possible becomes first and foremost when you’ve already lived the carefree years of your twenties.
Being a decade (give or take) older than a typical traditional student can feel like being a thirty-year-old back coming back to your freshman year of high school. “Sometimes I really wonder why I waited so long to go to school,” Ocean said. “They’re all so fresh and pretty and young, and I’m not.” Though Ocean feels a bit outdated compared to the younger traditional students, non-traditional students add to the colorful diversity of campus life. To all non-traditional student during your first week of class, good luck! You are not alone. Collegian blogger Ashley Haberman can be reached at blogs@collegian.com.

Game night, planned or impromptu, can either challenge a friendship or make a night to remember. The best games are games that will create memories. So bring some chips and dip or some drinks and start a night that will last forever. Here are some games you might consider for your next night in. Monopoly® This game is one that can break apart families, so beware! It’s a great game, but it can take several hours to complete and almost always encourages cheating. Keep an eye on the banker!!
Risk® It’s a military game that requires patience and a fair amount of luck! It can be a dicey game between players as you attempt invade other countries. Try not to let the power go to your head!! Clue® Become a detective as you solve a murder case that can seem like something from a tv-show, but was in this game long before as you move around the rooms to gather clues in order to solve this game. Don’t forget to write down all your clues and keep them to yourself in order to win! Ticket to Ride® Ticket to ride is a strategy game, be careful who your enemies are as you try to make your
destination. This game is fun and comes with several themed locations to explore, pick your favorite! Uno® A fast paced game that always makes laughs, especially when you pull three 4+ cards in a row! Simple but fun, and easy to set up. Apples to Apples® There are themed versions of the game (*cough* Disney®) that can make this game even more appealing as you play with people’s sense of humor. Sorry!® The game that is all about vengeance, creates both laughter and tears. Can get multiple
themed versions, or get the similar and super simple Trouble®, to make it even more interesting. The Game of Life® As we are in and heading out of college, the game of life is becoming ever more a reality. What better way to practice and prepare than playing a game of life with friends? Scrabble® This game challenges friend against friend on who knows more spellings, but can be entertaining as the words get sillier and sillier. Rack up those points and have a quixotry in mind!
Chess® An oldie but classic, never fails to pass the time and is relaxing. Have a drink or two and sit back to play a game with a friend. Pit®
An older game based off the stock market, be careful where you play as it can get kind of loud. Trade stock, corner the market, and win in this quick game. Tip: Still want to go out? Stop by the Dungeons and Drafts to play board games before enjoying a comic-con® themed meal. They have a collection that includes many of these and more!

CAMPUS CHARACTER Did you know that there are several distinct eras pertaining to CSU’s architecture? Over the years, dating back to the University’s founding in 1870, different campus buildings have been built that each exemplify different eras of design. All info below retrieved from the “Campus Character” section of the CSU Facilities Management website. The Early Years (1878 to 1910): Characterized by red brick facades in styles that were all the rage during this period, Spruce Hall, Gibbons Hall and the Industrial Sciences Building can be seen today as examples of Romanesque revival and Queen Anne architecture. The Oval Years (1910 to 1950): The blond bricks of the Administration Building, the Weber Building, the Statistics Building and others were built in neoclassical style out of native cut stone during this period.
Today is a 5 -- Communications glitches could delay a shipment or connection. You may feel shy, worried or concerned, keeping your mood quiet. Lay low. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Don’t get talked out of your savings. Your experience helps you avoid a mistake. Start computing expenses. Tempers could flare; avoid financial discussions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Today is a 7 -- Things don’t go as expected today. A conflict of interests could get awkward. Don’t get tempted to bend rules; consider consequences before acting. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Today is a 5 -- Slow down and consider options. Watch for hidden danger or expense. Avoid an elaborate scam. Don’t let things move too fast. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 5 -- Avoid unnecessary quarrels or hassle. Don’t provoke jealousies. Your friends come through for you. Turn down more public responsibility for now.
The Post-War and Western Expansion period (1950-1975): The Clark and Engineering buildings, the Moby Arena, the Westfall and Durward Towers and others were built during this building boom. They are designed in what is referred to as International Style, which makes use of a limited number of high-end and durable materials to create sustainable concepts like day lighting and better heat dissipation. By 1970, the postwar building boom had more than tripled building square footage across campus. The Pedestrian Campus period (1975-2005): CSU’s 1970 Ultimate Master Plan laid out a vision for these 35 years of development, aiming to systematically remove vehicular streets and parking from the core of campus and transform these areas into pedestrian-oriented malls, courtyards and plazas. The CSU Tree Planting Program was begun, and buildings like Yates Hall and the Natural and Environmental Sciences Building were erected. The Current Era (2005-present): 2005 marked the beginning of one of the most prolific building booms in Colorado State University history. Their aesthetic is inspired by the existing campus buildings from previous eras, coupled with sustainable building initiatives and a continued desire for a pedestrian-oriented campus. There are currently 21 new buildings and renovations on campus, including the Lory Student Center renovation, the refurbished University Center for the Arts, the Academic Village and the Scott Bioengineering Building. Also built was the CSU Todos Santos Center in Mexico. More projects are still to come during this building boom, including the new medical center, the Chemistry and Biology Buildings, and the Sonny Lubick Stadium.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Today is a 5 -- Choose private over public engagements. Responsibilities weigh heavily and require your attention. Avoid expense and fuss. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Postpone travel, but do make plans. You could use a vacation! Save financial discussions for later, though. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -Today is a 6 -- Resist a sense of urgency. Study options. Learn from another point of view. There may be fierce competition or conflicting interests. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Wait to see what develops. Anticipate resistance, complications and delays. Compromise allows workability; otherwise, expect an argument. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 7 -- You’re stirring up the status quo. Chaos swirls at work. Respect your partner’s opinions or spark a fuss. Hurrying leads to mistakes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 5 -- Wait for a more appropriate time to pursue romance. You may need to moderate a disagreement. Don’t talk back to someone hot-headed.
