Support Animal Policy CSU clarifies after confusion PAGE 3

CSU kick-starts the semester at RamFest, The Head and The Heart headlines By Chapman Croskell and Seth Bodine As the first week of classes ended, students at CSU trickled through the gates of the stage area at RamFest, the annual concert organized by RamEvents. Fans who gathered were treated to food trucks from Corndoggies, BaNOM-a-NOM, The Silver Seed and Austin Taco. As the crowd waited in anticipation for the music to start, the first opener took the stage: Coleman Hell. Hell, from Ontario, Canada, worked his magic to get the fans fired up with his high-energy performance and electronic rock sound. His songs used a combination of electronic melodies alongside heavy drumbeats. Hell constantly engaged with the audience, asking which side of the crowd was more excited, and both sides roared. “There’s something about Col-

orado that feels spiritual,” Hell said to the audience. The band ended their performance with the song “2 heads,” which had attendees singing and dancing along. By the time Hell left the stage, the crowd was getting hungry for more music. The second opener, R City, completely changed the sound around. The group’s DJ appeared on stage first, donning a black jacket, bow tie, purple mohawk and a black mask. As he started spinning, music and the bass started pumping through the IM fields. The crowd went wild when R City’s two members ran out on stage. The duo, consisting of brothers Theron and Timothy Thomas hailing from the Virgin Islands, is best known for writing songs featuring other performers, such as “Locked Away” featuring Adam Levine. During the show, R City point-

ed out just how many top-40 songs they had worked on, saying, “bet you didn’t know we made this,” while playing songs including Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop.” By the time R City left the RamFest stage, the sun was setting and everyone in attendance was excitedly awaiting the headliner. Following a brief cameo by Cam the Ram, The Head and The Heart took the stage to a thunderous applause. The Seattle-based band sounded perfectly at home in Fort Collins. “I love the signs on the ground with a dude with rollerskates around his neck and carrying a skateboard,” said Charity Rose Thielen, who plays violin and sings in the band. The group stopped at CSU Friday night before their soldout Red Rocks show on Saturday. The Head and The Heart brought a sort of laid-back energy to the performance that matched

the feeling of finishing the first week back to school. With intricate piano, soothing violin melodies and group vocals driving their sound, the crowd was singing and dancing along to hit songs such as “Ghosts” and “Lost in My Mind.” The band also premiered a new song called “Colors” for the first time, saying that they hoped all the Rams in attendance liked it. The band finished the performance with “Down in the Valley.” As the band left the stage, the crowd cheered for an encore. After a few minutes, the band returned and played the song “River and Roads,” which featured a heartfelt vocal solo by Thielen. The band seemed super excited to be performing at RamFest, and fans in attendance seemed satisfied to have ended week one on such an exciting note.

Q: What drew you to student media? A: I remember thinking to myself at the end of my freshman year that I needed to get serious and get published if I was ever going to be a “real journalist.” Turns out, I’ve only gotten sillier, although I do have a few articles to my name now.

Prospect Road will be open to traffic today at 3:30 p.m. after nearly three months of construction. While the road was off-limits to the public, a new channel was built to direct floodwater under Prospect Road to the Poudre River. This new flood channel will eliminate up to two feet of floodwater that spills over Prospect Road during large storms, fixing what the City of Fort Collins calls “a serious public safety hazard during floods.” Although open to the public, the road will still have traffic-coned sections with a slower speed limit because stormwater improvements will continue off-road throughout the fall. Construction work along Prospect Road will be completed by the end of November, according to the press release. For additional information about the stormwater improvements, visit fcgov.com/ boxelder. Collegian Reporter Tatiana Talesnick-Parafiniuk can be reached online at news@ collegian.com.

CSU to clarify emotional support animal policy, changes may occur later in the semester By Allec Brust @Brustyyy

Emotional support animal programs are relatively new on college campuses, including Colorado State University. Confusion about the rules and differences between service animals and emotional support animals has prompted CSU to make clarifications about its service animal policy. According to Rosemary Kreston, a representative of Resources for Disabled Students, there were no concrete changes to the policy, but rather some clarifications surrounding already-implicated policies. “There was already a policy concerning service animals, so it was tweaked to include emotional support animals as well as more definitive language on service dogs,” Kreston wrote in an e-mail to the Collegian. “An emotional support animal

is simply part of a treatment plan for a person’s well-being emotionally, and a service dog is one that has been trained specifically to provide a service to an individual based on their disability.” Redefining the service animal policies currently in place will make it easier for faculty and students to understand the restrictions emotional support animals have that service animals do not. Much of the confusion that resulted in the policy change was due to these differences in restrictions. According to Kreston, the main difference is that service animals are trained to perform in campus settings while emotional support animals are not similarly trained. “One problem has been the fact that so many animals are now on campus and some people are not aware of the differ-

ence between an emotional support animal and a service dog,” Kreston said. “They are not one and the same, and therefore are not awarded the same legal protection.” The alterations to the service animal policy will outline the differences between service animals and emotional support animals, the main clarification being that emotional support animals are not allowed in the classroom. Although the policies will be altered, the small clarifications will be a temporary fix. According to Dell Rae Ciaravola, campus safety public relations coordinator, there will be more changes to the emotional support animal policies later in the semester. The improved policies will be implemented within the fall semester. Allec Brust can be reached at news@collegian.com

Q&A: Jill Stein, presidential nominee for the Green Party, wants to cancel student debt By Erik Petrovich and Gabriel Go

@EAPetrovich and @ rgabrielgo

Dr. Jill Stein, the presidential nominee for the Green Party, is facing a very hopeful year. When she ran for the presidency in 2012, Stein barely broke 0.3 percent of the national vote. In 2016, Stein and the Green Party have consistently polled at 3 percent or higher, marking 2016 as what some call a momentous year for third parties. The Green Party is a leftist party whose platform calls for social justice, expansion of human rights, non-violence, and, as the party name might suggest, a renewed focus on sustainable energy practices. The party consistently places fourth in presidential contests, behind the Libertarian Party and the Democratic and Republican parties. At the last count in 2014, 737 voters were registered with the Green Party in Larimer County. Before she attended a Green Party rally at Avogadro’s Number on August 27, Stein stopped by the KCSU studio for an interview with editor-in-chief Erik Petrovich, reporter Gabriel Go, and KCSU assistant news director Oscar Lorandi. The following transcript has been edited for clarity and brevity. OSCAR LORANDI: Dr. Stein, welcome to Colorado State University. DR. JILL STEIN: Thank you so much! It’s really great to be here. LORANDI: You graduated magnacum-laude from Harvard, graduated from Harvard Medical School, you’re a physician, an activist and now you’re a presidential candidate. What influenced you to want to be Commander-in-Chief of the United States? STEIN: I am really a mother on fire, and I have been active for a couple of decades, ever since I kind of discovered, as a medical doctor, that we are going drastically in the wrong direction. It’s not only our health at risk, it is our planet, our survival, our climate and I think we have a generation, a younger generation, that’s really been thrown under the bus on the cost of higher education, the lack of jobs, the need for canceling student debt. On so many issues as a mother, I feel what is going on is unacceptable. You could say I got tricked into running for office a couple decades ago, and what I discovered is that our democracy is really hurting for more openness, for a political party that is not bought and paid for by the usual suspects, by Wall Street, by the fossil fuel corporations, by the

war profiteers. Once those doors were open to me, I served in local office, but then I became involved in working to organize to actually change the bigger system. ERIK PETROVICH: So then I guess I’ll ask the question, going back to student debt and education, you said you want to cancel student debt. Could you go a little bit into how you would do that? STEIN: We bailed out Wall Street, and people were very surprised to learn that it was about $17 trillion worth of money that was mobilized to bail out Wall Street. Now we have a generation of young people who are basically locked into student loan debt through no fault of their own – really the victims of this Wall Street crash and the victims of a loan system that made false promises. The promise was: “you work hard, you borrow the money, you get the degree and there will be a good job on the other end.” We are saying that contract has been torn up, so it’s time to end the obligation of our young people. It’s about $1.5 trillion worth of debt that we need to appropriate, but it is the right thing to do. It’s small compared to the bailout we gave Wall Street, it’s time to bail out a generation, because It’s not just your lives that depend on it, all of our lives depend on having a younger generation that can lead the way forward to reinvent our economy for the 21st century – and it’s not just the economy, it’s the social struggles. PETROVICH: Do you think this could be done through reduction or outright removal of the obligation to pay back these debts? STEIN: In my view, public higher education should be free, because it is essential to survive in today’s economy. Throughout the 20th century, we provided a high school degree for free, because it was essential for economic security back then. Now, it’s not adequate for economy security. In my view, the younger generation is not there to be a cash cow to be exploited by either government loans, or private loans. Security should be provided through free public higher education, that applies going forward and, in my view, that applies going backward. GABRIEL GO: You ran as president in 2012, yet it appears that your only elected position is that of the representative of the town of Lexington in Massachusetts. How do you feel this prepares you for the U.S. presidency? STEIN: We are in a crisis situation right now. We’ve had some very well-prepared candidates,

and prepared past presidents, but coming up through our conventional system of politics, that preparation involves taking a lot of campaign contributions and it involved being schooled in a system where big money rules the day. In my view … we need to move away, as fast as we can, from this conventional system that creates very well prepared candidates, but what they are prepared to do is sell us down the creek towards war, towards offshoring of our jobs, towards our climate that is in all-out collapse right now. We have seen all that the Democratic Party can do – they are held up as the lesser of the two evils. We need people who have the freedom to represent everyday Americans, who do not represent not just the fossil fuel industries, the Wall Street banks, the war industry. My history of advocacy is what we’re about. This is what

the American people are actually clamoring for – they have had it with this rigged economy, with this rigged energy system, which is actually destroying us, and with this rigged political system that keeps us in. People are ready for a voter revolt. PETROVICH: You have also called for a temporary halt to foreclosures and evictions. How would you plan on going about this, and what kind of economic effects would you expect? STEIN: We would like to see people stay in their homes. The banks have been extremely unreasonable and uncompromising about throwing people out, and then selling those mortgages at current market value. So what we’re saying is sell those mortgages right now at current market value and allow the homeowners to stay in their homes. There is a Green former mayor of Richmond, California who actually began using this policy of using eminent domain

to seize homes that were under water if the banks weren’t willing to negotiate with their homeowners. This is being litigated in the courts now, but this is one way to ensure that predatory foreclosures don’t go forward. PETROVICH: If elected president, and if this policy goes into effect, would you expect during this period of foreclosures being banned that people would simply not pay mortgages or not pay rents, expecting to not be kicked out? STEIN: Well, let me tell you this. We’re focused right now on what we call the Green New Deal, which is not so much looking at mortgages, it’s actually looking at jobs. We want to ensure that people have the jobs they need so that they have the income, which only pays for things like mortgages, but also enables them to pay for the food that they need, the clothing that they need and stimulates the economy by primsee STEIN on page 8 >>

Weekend crime update: Suspect shot and killed by police, bike vs. car hit-and-run By Allec Brust @Brustyyy

Thursday, August 25: Armed suspect shot and killed by police 7:22 p.m.: An armed male suspect was shot by Fort Collins Police on Thursday night following a 911 call by a female victim on 900 block of North Highway 287. The suspect, who was known to the victim, was later identified as 63-year-old Jerry Jackson. When police arrived on scene, Jackson was brandishing a knife. The three officers on duty first tried to subdue the suspect with tasers. When the suspect continued to approach, the officers fired shots, ultimately killing the suspect. Jackson was pronounced deceased at the Medical Center of the Rockies. The victims at the scene were not injured. The officers involved have been place on paid administrative leave. The Larimer County Critical Incident Response Team has been activated to investigate this incident. Thursday, August 25: Car and bike hit-and-run 11:22 p.m.: Fort Collins Police services received a call notifying them of a car versus bicycle accident on Mulberry between Riverside and Lemay Avenue. A

sedan was said to have fled after the collision and had last been seen traveling south on Lemay Avenue. When police arrived on scene, 26-year-old Emily Clark was found laying in the left lane of eastbound Mulberry Street. Clark was then taken to Medical Center of the Rockies for treatment of her injuries. Shortly after the incident, police located a Kia with collision damage after being notified of a suspicious vehicle near Mulberry Street and Greenfield Court. The driver, 31-year-old Kenneth Lejeune, was not injured. His car had damage consistent with a bicycle collision, and had also collided with various signs and objects. The hit-and-run incident is under investigation, and charges are pending. Drugs and/or alcohol are believed to be involved in the incident.

CSU takes on CU in annual Rocky Mountain Showdown By Allec Brust @Brustyyy

Last year, Colorado State University faced defeat against University of Colorado, losing 27-24 in overtime at the Rocky Mountain Showdown. This upcoming Friday, Sept. 2, CSU and CU will face off once again, giving CSU another chance at the revered Centennial cup. The showdown will begin at 6 p.m. The weather is estimated to be a warm 88 degrees and sunny. Student tickets are still available at Moby Arena ticket booths. General admission tickets are available online. Even though the loss was a devastating blow to the CSU community, this year the Rams will have a chance to redeem themselves. According to senior tight end Danny Nwosu, the Rams have their heads straight going into the upcoming game. “Morale has been great; we are definitely growing as a unit both offense and defense.” Nwosu said. “We are growing closer, getting better and working on

our craft every day.” The showdown has been around for over a hundred years. This year will mark the 16th game played at the Mile-High Stadium. Although the Showdown contract ends in 2020, both teams have opted to continue the tradition in years to come. According to the Mountain West Connection, both teams are opting to turn the game into a “home and home” series with two years off in between. This Friday, the Showdown will go on as it has in the past, and with a game as popular as this to CU and CSU fans alike, big numbers are expected. According to the Coloradoan, last year Sports Authority Field welcomed just over 66 thousand fans to cheer on the Rams and the Buffs in Denver. Sports Authority Field and parking services encourage carpooling due to limited parking spaces. For more information about the Rocky mountain showdown, visit csurams.com/sports.

Ten most relatable Yik Yaks from the first week of school By Miranda Moses @mirandasrad

Yik Yak, one of the most used apps on college campuses nationwide, recently underwent an update that dramatically changed the nature of the app. The app is no longer anonymous. Even so, many CSU rams continue to post, making us laugh and nod our heads in agreement. Here are the ten most relatable Yik Yaks from the first week of school: 1. “Good thing CSU’s sidewalks are getting watered though, would hate to see them wither.” At CSU, we the students are very concerned about the epi-

demic of dehydrated sidewalks. We are thankful that CSU views this as an issue as well.

from the sincereness of their heart and has nothing to do with the grumbling of their bellies.

2. “Just reminding everybody that it may be Monday and the first day of classes, but at least we don’t go to Boulder. F*ck CU.” May their be no truer reminder of just how fortunate students are to not wake up to a bunch of buffs every day.

4. “Today’s goal: find a private pooping spot on campus.” Another user informed us about the single bathrooms in the library on the second and third floor. Rams take care of rams. Go forth.

3. “Freshmen, the NUMBER ONE lesson of freshmen year is: always give upperclassmen meal swipes. Unrelated note: anyone got a meal swipe?” Every time upperclassman give advice to freshmen, it comes

5. “My king soopers purchase came out to $15.15. It’s a sign for tonight.” The King Soopers gods have spoken. 6. “When you get a package in your mailbox and you get super

excited because someone loves you. Then you open it and it’s the textbook you bought. With your money...” If anyone else needs to hop on the textbook struggle bus, now is the time to board. I’m pretty sure this person is driving. 7. “What are you supposed to to do when you’re in love with someone who doesn’t return your love?” Rammies love to use Yik Yak as an outlet for love advice. And rightfully so. One user replied, “You try to move on and fail.” Priceless advice. 8. “Living behind Fat Shack could

be the best & worst decisions ever.” Being so close to tater tots constantly is never and will never be a bad decision. 9. “Don’t you hate it when you go to the ATM and there isn’t $1,000,000 in your bank account.” Happens every time. One user replied, “I know those feels, I only have 49 cents.” Sounds like these rams need some meal swipes after buying some textbooks. 10. “SQUIRREL.” Miranda Moses can be reached at news@collegian.com

CSU graduate student creates Tinder for friends By Chapman Croskell @Nescwick

In a world of dating apps and online romance, Brian Ritter of SocialPing is trying to make finding friends easier. “The whole idea behind (SocialPing) is to increase socialization in a platonic sense,” said Ritter, a first year MBA student at CSU. “You’re able to connect with other people online in a virtual world.” SocialPing is a new app being developed by Ritter and his team that allows people to build new, non-romantic, relationships.

The app pairs people up based on their interest categories and lets users text or video chat each other to set up a time to hang out. Ritter makes some comparisons between his app and other dating apps such as Tinder, but he ensures that SocialPing is focused on building platonic relationships. “Users are rewarded for the more social they become,” Ritter said. “The more activities they do, the more badges and awards they accumulate.” Ritter also spoke about the app’s explore feature, comparing

it to Pokemon Go. He said that users can explore landmarks and gain rewards for going places and meeting people. Like Tinder, the app is geospecific, and Ritter said the goal is to eventually go international. SocialPing is only for user 18 and older, and Ritter’s team is working to prevent catfishing and inappropriate use of the app. “When you register, there’s a verification process to make sure that you are of age,” Ritter said. “Of course, there is a possibility of catfishing, but since it’s platonic in nature, we hope that will

help to mitigate that.” The users to test out the app are CSU and CU students. Ritter said that the current demographic of the app is college students and that he’s happy to be testing it in Colorado first. Although the app is getting its start on college campuses, Ritter said that in five years, he would like to be “the social network app.” He said that he thinks his app can help to build and maintain friendships, especially for college students. “We live in this world where loneliness and disconnectedness

are increasing,” Ritter said. “A lot of that has to do with our technological advances and living in the virtual world.” While there is not a specific launch date yet, Ritter said SocialPing will be going live on the app’s website soon and that anyone interested can sign up to try it out. Ritter also said that SocialPing will be available for invite only, or through promotions run by his team. “We want to give the users the power,” Ritter said.

CSU team developing mouthpiece to help the hearing-impaired By Seth Bodine @sbodine120 For people with hearing impairments, not everyone can use hearing aids and cochlear implants to hear. But, with a new device developed by a team at Colorado State University, the tongue will act as a substitute for the ears. CSU developers of the new technology include Leslie StoneRoy, assistant professor of biomedical sciences; John Williams, associate professor of mechanical engineering; and graduate students in mechanical engineering Marco Martinez and JJ Moritz. The team is developing a mouthpiece that will help people with hearing impairments by using tongue stimulation. The device uses a microphone, and a system that takes auditory information to process and encode it into a pattern of electrical stimuli that is sent to the mouthpiece. “So, what we are doing is developing a mouthpiece that have electrodes on it, and these electrodes are going to stimulate the touch sensation on your tongue in specific patterns,” Stone-Roy said. “So, with training, people can learn to associate the touch stimulus with auditory signals coming in.” While the device is currently using a computer for processing and encoding, it will eventually be on smartphone. Stone-Roy said learning to interpret the electric stimulus will take time, and compared it to learning braille. Marco Martinez, a mechanical engineering graduate student and research assistant, has developed a vocabulary game for the device. “(It’s a) quiz with different words at the top, and (it) plays them out loud, which you can feel them, get to know them. You know, once you kind of get comfortable, you can get quizzed like a flashcard game,” Martinez said. “They play a word on your tongue, then ask you to pick from a short list of which word you thought it was.” Martinez said during preliminary trials, people were able to identify individual words, but said it was a big learning curve. More trials hope to see

how long the participants take to learn words by the end of the Fall 2016 semester. Stone-Roy said the driving force behind the project is John Williams, an associate professor of mechanical engineering. He was interested after he started to lose hearing from working around loud noises and heard people were using tongue stimulation for other applications. Stone-Roy said that the project started about two years ago, and received grant funding from the office of economic development and international trade from the state of Colorado, and another from the City of Fort Collins. Stone-Roy said that because the device has the capability to translate various different forms of information, they are trying to get different forms of funding. “As you can imagine, we’re not limited to auditory information,” Stone-Roy said. “We can put pretty much anything on those electrodes that we wanted to. Any stuff that people can’t normally detect, like infrared information or something like that. So we’re going after different types of funding.” Stone-Roy said they have turned in a pre-proposal for a grant that could be funded by the Army. Martinez described how the device has capabilities to be used by the military. “The idea is that the tongue might give them some sort of other avenue of giving them some sort of information, whatever that needs to be,” Martinez said. Stone-Roy and Martinez said that there is more work to be done before the mouthpiece is fully developed. They will be working with an orthodontic company that is familiar with Food and Drug Administration standards and continue to encode the mouthpieces to fit a few different models based on tongue sensitivity. “So we’re really just trying to nail down how we need to design the actual mouthpieces and how the software needs to work in order to make this a viable technology for everyone out there, everyone who needs it or everyone who would be eligible for it,” Martinez said.

>> STEIN from page 8 ing the pump from below. This is how we want to heal the whole economy. You’re right – just letting people keep their homes in a predatory housing system will not heal what ails us. We are primarily focused on ending the economic crisis at the same time that we end the climate crisis. GO: Colorado State University is regarded as one of the most sustainable universities in the United States. How would you encourage other universities to adopt the same sustainable practices? STEIN: You’re right, and kudos to you for leading the way. What we’re calling for in the Green

New Deal is shifting our subsidies from fossil fuel energy, from industrial agriculture into sustainable practices at all levels of our economy, including at our colleges and universities. We’re also calling for research and a really broad research agenda into sustainable practices, so there would be not only the proper sense of priorities and having a president in the White House that actually believes in sustainability, that lives according to sustainable energy and food system and public transportation practices, we would have in the White House not simply a Commander-in-Chief, but an organizer-in-chief who would pri-

oritize the kinds of things that are going on here at this university, as well as ensuring that our funding shifts from the unsustainable energy, food, transportation, into those sustainable ways of doing things. We’d be doing everything from calling you to the White House, maybe creating a system of rewards and recognition for the campuses that are actually leading the way. We would be patting you on the back in a very public way and encouraging others to follow in your footsteps.

Tougaw: Government is to blame for EpiPen cost increase Taylor Tougaw @TTougaw

If you’ve flipped on the news lately, you’ve probably noticed that a very popular drug, the EpiPen, has undergone a 400 percent price increase. This drug, which costs the parent company Mylan only a few dollars to make, is grossly and unnecessarily priced, especially when one looks at how critical it is to so many people. An EpiPen is used when someone goes into an allergy induced anaphylactic shock. During this episode, an allergy sufferer’s airway would close off until they suffocate to death. The EpiPen releases a dose of epinephrine, a kind of adrenaline that pumps blood faster and opens up airways. Many people have been decrying this insane price gouge as a failure of the free market. They say that it’s proof of the greed in American capitalism and that if the government had its way, the drug would remain cheap. I’m here to tell you that that is not only false, but it’s the other way around. The free market could solve the government’s mess, if only we would let it. In 2013, Obama passed a law, known as the EpiPen law, that stressed the need for EpiPens in schools. In so doing, this law artificially increased the demand for

the drug, thus raising the price. I know what you’re thinking. “Taylor, that company raised its own prices. That has nothing to do with the government.” And you’d be correct in saying that, which is where this gets interesting. In a truly free market, another company would just come along and undercut Mylan’s EpiPen price, forcing Mylan to re-price or go out of business. The problem here is that the government won’t let any other companies intercede.

Competitors will seek to gain entry into this market like sharks circling a slab of meat.

The FDA classifies the EpiPen as not only a drug, but also a medical device. These governmental regulations mean that pharmacies can’t just switch to a generic form of the drug because the drug comes in a special injector. Since Mylan owns the patent to the injector, competitors must find another way to inject. And the FDA is hampering that process. Teva Pharmaceuticals, another big name corporation, tried to get another version of

the Epipen on the market. It was swatted down by the FDA. They have recently come up with another product called Adrenaclick. Want that in your pharmacy? Too bad, the FDA made that illegal to substitute for the EpiPen. You’re probably thinking “Okay, lets skip the auto-injector. How about a syringe?” Another great idea brought to you by the French Adamis company, who offered a cheaper alternative with pre-filled epinephrine syringes. Another good idea left to rot at the feet of governmental red tape as the FDA shut that down too over generically vague circumstances. The stranglehold that Mylan has on its competition is fueled only by the FDA. Of course the FDA has its role to play - nobody wants to take a medication only to find out that it doesn’t work and is the wrong medicine altogether. The FDA has its role in keeping us safe and aware. The fact is, however, that the epinephrine market is a multi-billion dollar market. That means competitors will seek to gain entry into this market like sharks circling a slab of meat. The fact that literally zero companies have been able to break in is a testament to the absolute shut down of the free market. For those that think the government can solve this, I’d say you’re right: if they lose some of their power. Taylor Tougaw can be reached at opinion@collegian.com

Beginning of semester a dangerous time for sexual assault, WGAC says By Tatiana Parafiniuk-Talesnick @ TatianaSophiaPT

The Collegian would like to inform its readers that the content in this article may trigger those affected by sexual assault. The first few weeks of college can a dangerous time for incoming freshmen. According to West Virginia Foundation for Rape Information and Services, Centre County Women’s Resource Center and many other groups, a woman’s first few weeks of college is a “red zone” for sexual violence. “There is a correlation between the first few weeks on a college campus and rates being higher,” said Monica Rivera, the director of the Colorado State University Women and Gender Advocacy Center. “We know that part of this is because perpetrators, who are often upperclassmen, intentionally target the vulnerabilities of first-year incoming women.” According to the WGAC, the office provided advocacy to nearly 500 survivors last year, compared to 200 in 2014. However, Rivera said the increase does not indicate that campus sexual assault is on the rise. “What our numbers should indicate is that students feel very comfortable coming forward to get resources,” Rivera said. Though more reports do not necessarily mean more sexual assaults, research indicates that there is an increase of sexual assault incidents in the beginning of the fall semester.

In a 2007 Campus Sexual Assault Study, the National Institute of Justice found that September and and October had the highest rates of campus sexual assault. According to Rivera, some of the key reasons that these few weeks are so dangerous are: Perpetrators using alcohol as a rape-facilitating drug similar to a “roof.” Upper-class perpetrators capitalizing on first-years’ desires to have a “college experience”. Perpetrators knowing that first-years may be hesitant to report. Rivera said that sexual violence on and around campus cannot be blamed on alcohol consumption, or any other aspect of going out. “Because, in reality, I should be able to get completely wasted, walk completely naked down an alley in Fort Collins and pass out,” Rivera said. “The only way I would experience assault is if another human being chooses to capitalize on my vulnerability.” She says that her advice to CSU students would be similar to the conversations she had with her family before, and throughout, their college experiences: “To not only men, but to anyone (who may instigate sexual activity), it’s not that we are looking for no’s and kicking and screaming, it’s your responsibility that you’re listening for yes, and it’s never okay to use alcohol to loosen someone up,” Rivera said. “To bystanders, it’s important to try to pay attention to

boundary encroachments as early as possible, so if you have a friend and you see that they’re constantly pushing alcohol on someone, they’re not listening when that person is saying ‘hey don’t put your arm around me, I don’t want to dance with you, I don’t want to spend the night here’; if you have a friend who’s not listening to boundaries being set, it’s your responsibility to intervene,” Rivera said. “(To those who may be at risk for sexual assault), you absolutely have the right to set whatever boundaries you feel are best for your body,” Rivera said. “So, if that means you want to go back to someone’s room with them and hook up with them and get all the way to second or third base, and then you want to stop, you have the right, the legal and moral right, to stop at that point. It’s up to that other person to be not just looking for a no, but to be looking for your green lights; when they stop getting your green lights, they need to stop.” Resources for victims of sexual assault on the Colorado State University campus include the Women and Gender Advocacy Center and the 24-hour Victim Assistance Team, which is available to assistvictimsofsexualassaultand interpersonal violence. The 24-hour Sexual Assault Hotline is (970) 492-4242. The Sexual Assault Victim Advocate Center provides resources to victims affected by sexual violence.

The Velveteers perform “stoner rock” at Hodi’s Half Note By Khalil Perkins @KhalilRashad_

Boulder-based band The Velveteers performed at Hodi’s Half Note Saturday, Aug. 27, and it was a night to remember. As a hip-hop fanatic, I was surprisingly very entertained by the show. Typically, I don’t prefer heavy rock music, but I definitely caught The Velveteers’ vibe. Considering The Velveteers’ rising hype, especially in Colorado, I was surprised to see such a small turnout. But, despite the size of the crowd, The Velveteers played a variety of fan-favorites during their show, including “Mirror” and “Sun-Face.” The electrifying sound lit up the entire venue. The Velveteers are classified as a heavy rock band, although lead guitarist and vocalist Demi

Demitro, who sang with the passion of Tina Turner, referred to the band’s genre as “stoner music.” The Velveteers’ stage presence was a little confusing. When they first arrived on stage, they didn’t really say anything. They went right into their set list without talking to the audience, but I engaged in jamming out with some of the other concertgoers despite this setback. Listening to the concert, I really got this sort of classic rock feel, which made more sense when Demitro disclosed that they are heavily inspired by early rock. “We’re really into having heavy guitar riffs, but then having very soft and meaningful lyrics as well,” Demitro said. After leaving the stage at the end of their set list, The

Velveteers came back on to perform one last song for the audience. As the concert officially ended, I was happy with my decision to try out the heavy rock music scene. The Velveteers proved to be very passionate about their art. Although they did not have an engaging stage presence between songs, The Velveteers were charismatic while they performed. And, I found it interesting to see the band interacting with the concert attendees after the show ended. The Velveteers’ show at Hodi’s Half Note was my very first heavy rock concert, and I was pleasantly surprised afterward to see that my ears weren’t bleeding. In fact, I found myself wanting more.

Fort Collins Comic Con attracts over 2,000 gamers, cosplayers and artists By Connor DeBlieck @CDeBlieck1995

Fort Collins Comic Con took over the Northside Aztlan Center for the weekend, attracting over 2,000 pop-culture enthusiasts, cosplayers, gamers and artists. Created by Nick Armstrong and Nathan Scott, Fort Collins Comic Con aims to improve youth literacy through engaging attendees in comic con activities and to provide an affordable comic con experience. This year, Fort Collins Comic Con showcased a large variety of vendors selling a wide range of products, including plush toys, artwork, anime wall scrolls and droids. Far Away Creations, a company created by Kal and Kathy Pierce, displayed a fully functioning R2D2 model, a replicaofTatooinefromStarWars and a life-sized Jawa figure that attendees could take photos with. Mountain States Droid Builders Club gave an inside look into the creation of the R2D2 model. The complete piece took four years to construct and cost around $15,000 to create. Leah Bellamy showcased various plush hats and plush toys from her business Bliger Studios. Her products included many themes, such as Pokemon, Zelda, Inukami and Super Mario Bros. Nova Dog Creations also showcased plush toys. Using hand-sewing techniques, each piece took three to six hours to create. Nova Dog Creations has been in the costume business since 2008, but they only began making plush toys 18 months ago. “I love it when people get

excited about my work,” said Dana Viola, Nova Dog Creations’ designer. The company has also sold plush toys in Germany, Finland and Australia. In addition to vendors showcasing comics and collectables, the Colorado Game Designers Guild showed attendees various board and card games they have been play-testing. The company showcased their games upstairs in the board game room, which allowed people to try out the games for themselves. Artists also used the convention to show off their latest works to the attendees. Joe Oliver displayed his mix of comic book-styled pieces and cartoon drawings, which were used as the image on the convention passes. Many cosplayers showcased their talents, depicting popular characters like Harley Quinn and the Joker. Another big aspect of the convention were the panels. Professional cosplayer Kayla King discussed her original designs. Her panel mainly focused on gender-bent cosplaying, where people dress as a character that is opposite of their gender. She also discussed cosplaying characters from books and making non-human characters into humanoid characters. The latter half of her panel discussed her own cosplay and the thought process she goes through when deciding fabric, looks and design. Fort Collins Comic Con gave every fan something to geek out about. Connor DeBlieck can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com

The five greatest Rocky Mountain Showdowns in history: No. 5 By Justin Michael @JustinTMichael

The 2016 college football season kicks off with the Rocky Mountain Showdown is this Friday and with it comes the rivalry between the University of Colorado and Colorado State University. The school’s have been playing since 1893, facing off a total of 87 times. Throughout history, there have been brief gaps in the rivalry, like from 1959 to 1983, when the two teams did not meet at all. From 1983 to 1994, during arguably the greatest era of CU football history, the two schools played a total of seven times, six of which were won by CU. The RMS became an annual series in 1995 and they have played every year since. CU currently leads the series (63-22-2). Here is part one of our series looking at the five greatest Rocky Mountain Showdowns of all-time. 5. Sept. 2, 2000, CSU 28-24 In front of a crowd of 67,466 fans at Mile High Stadium for the last time, Colorado State, led by Sonny Lubick, sent roughly 35,000 fans back to Boulder with their heads hung low for a second straight season. The win over the Buffs was monumental for a Ram team on the rise and was the first of many crucial moments from the 2000 season, widely viewed as the most successful seasons in the history of the program. Behind a brilliant four touchdown performance from senior quarterback Matt Newton, the Rams narrowly defeated the Buffaloes in one of many classic games of the era. Despite being considered vast underdogs, “lit-

tle brother” clenched his fist, came out swinging and for the first time in over half a century, the Rams defeated the Buffaloes in back-to-back seasons. Behind Newton’s arm, the Rams got off to a fast 14-0 lead after just one quarter, but CU and junior quarterback Bobby Pesavento came storming back to take a 17-14 lead into halftime. After blowing an early lead and losing all of the momentum late in the first half, the legendary Lubick was able to refocus his team and lead the Rams to victory. When asked on what he said to the team during the break, Lubick responded in a way only he could, with complete and total honesty. “There’s your Big-12 boys, can you play with them or can’t you play with them,” Lubick reportedly told the team. (Colorado has since moved to the PAC 12). “In the old days, we all used to say, ‘let’s go win,’ but there was no belief in it. Now you can sense the belief. It’s genuine. It’s not phony,” Lubick said. Just three minutes into the third quarter, the Buffs scored their 24th unanswered point. From that point on, the CSU defense kept the CU offense in check, and the Buffs did not score for the remainder of the game, even despite two third quarter interceptions thrown by Newton. Late in the third quarter, CSU regained some momentum when Newton delivered a 42yard touchdown strike to senior wide receiver Frank Rice, bringing the Rams within three, 24-21. Junior tight end Jose Ochoa capped off a 64-yard drive with a 30-yard touchdown reception, giving the Rams the lead two minutes into the fourth quarter;

a lead the Rams would hold onto. Despite 532 yards of total offense from Colorado and backto-back turnovers in the third quarter, the Rams defense was able to keep the Buffs out of the end zone for nearly the entire second half. After struggling for most of the game, the CSU offense was able to make big plays when the team needed it most. Along with being an all around competitive game, the 2000 RMS was one of the greatest in history because it signified the arrival of Colorado State football. After dominating CU the year before, winning 41-14, defeating the Buffaloes for a second-straight season was a monu-

CSU soccer rebounds from UNC loss with 2-1 victory over SIU-Edwardsville By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_

The CSU Rams women’s soccer team came out of the gate firing on Sunday afternoon, ultimately leading to a 2-1 victory over the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars. The slow-paced Rams offense that was on display for the first half of Friday’s contest was nowhere to be found in this match as the Rams doubled the shot total of the Cougars, 14-7. The win puts CSU at 2-2-0 on the young season while SIUE falls to 1-2-1. The win did not come easy for the Rams, though, who earned their first comeback victory in program history. After an

up-tempo start to the game, SIUE’s Peyton Roehnelt received a cross from teammate Krista McMahan before volleying it into the back of the net. A game that was in favor of the Rams in terms of shots and time of possession suddenly flipped momentum to the Cougars. “We felt like we were doing pretty good, and all of the sudden we’re down,” coach Bill Hempen said. The Rams rebounded from the tough goal just two minutes later, after applying pressure in the attacking zone, the Rams were awarded a penalty kick after an SIUE defender touched the ball with her hand in the box. Kaija Ornes wasted no time, striking the ball over the hands of

the diving goalkeeper to tie the game 1-1. “Getting right back in the game was a big deal,” Hempen said. “To get back to even and kind of reboot and refresh is a credit to our kids. They just stuck with the game and found a way to win.” After the break, the Rams continued to pressure the ball, leading to plenty of offensive chances. Freshman Alex Lanning finally broke the tie with the first goal of her collegiate career in the 77th minute. Defender Janelle Stone handled the ball on the right side of the field before sending a cross to a plethora of waiting Rams players. After deflecting off the head of forward see SOCCER on page 14 >>

mental moment in Lubick’s tenure as head coach. The Rams went on to finish the season with a record of 10-2, winning the Mountain West and defeating Louisville in the Liberty Bowl. The 2000 Rams were all around one of the greatest football teams in not just CSU history, but really the history of

the Mountain West and that run started with the victory over CU. Moore went to earn Co-Offensive Player of the Year honors, while CSU LB Rick Crowell was recognized as the MWC Defensive Player of the Year. Collegian sports reporter Justin Michael can be reached by email at sports@collegian.com.

>> SOCCER from page 12 Hannah Gerdin, the ball bounced towards Lanning, who was able to use every bit of her 5-foot 1-inch frame to header the ball into the net. “I saw where the keeper was and I saw how high the ball was,” Lanning said. “My first thought was ‘Oh no, this is going over my head.’ But I just knew where to place it.” “It ends up being a deflection and a little bit of hustle from little Alex,” Hempen said in regards to

his player’s effort. “Sometimes they’re not bullets in the upper ninety, they’re little dinks over the keeper and in and they all count. That was an effort goal from Hannah all the way to Alex.” Freshman keeper Natalie Dierickx earned her second consecutive start and complete game, along with her first collegiate victory. The Rams now turn their sights to a difficult road trip against Big 10 opponents Iowa and No. 25 Northwestern.

“We’ll talk to some scouts about our upcoming opponents,” Hempen said. “But they’re all gonna be hard. You have to be on your game every time you step on the field, whether you’re playing a Big 10 team, Summit League team, it doesn’t matter. You’ve got to play them all because everyone wants to win just as much.

FUN (NON-SPORTS) FACTS ABOUT MOBY ARENA Believe it or not, Moby Arena, now the site of many a CSU basketball and volleyball game, is named after the famous ship-destroying marine mammal. Its official name upon opening in 1966 was the Auditorium-Gymnasium (how bland!) but the CSU students at that time dubbed it “Moby” because they thought it looked like a huge white whale. The Thurman “Fum” McGraw Athletic Center, which houses the athletic department’s staff, coaches, ticket office and academic support area, opened in 1999, so its additions were not part of the original whale. The 1976 movie “One on One,” directed by Lamont

Johnson, filmed scenes in Moby in 1975. Concerts have also been held in Moby by

bands like Big Head Todd and the Monsters, the Steve Miller Band and The Fray.
