Student demand for counseling services increase, CSU Health Network expands By Julia Rentsch @juliarentsch

In recent years, the CSU Health Network has experienced an increase in student demand for counseling services. According to Janelle Patrias, Manager of Mental Health Initiatives for the CSU Health Network, 18 percent of students at the University utilize counseling services. This number has been trending upwards on the CSU campus and across the nation, Patrias said. In order to accommodate these needs, the University has increased the counseling resources made available to students. Resources include a network of counselors specializing on a wide range of issues, the You@ CSU portal and the construc-

tion of the new Health Network building. Approximately 70 members of the counseling staff are available to meet with students seeking help, according to Patrias. The staff includes full time counselors, trainees and academic-year counselors. The ratio of counselors to students at CSU is 1 to 640. Director of Counseling Services Susan MacQuiddy called this an “impressive ratio,” in an email to the Collegian. While the service is experiencing an increase in demand, Patrias said new staff are hired in a timely manner. “CSU has a really strong record of adding additional staff to meet the demands of students,” Patrias said. Several students said they benefited from services provided

by the counseling center. Lange Simmons, physics and math double major, said that the majority of his experiences with the counseling center were positive. “(Counseling resources) aren’t just for when you’re ... in a crisis,” Simmons said. “I feel like a lot of students could benefit even if they’re not in … an emergency state of mental health.” Stephanie Thompson, biology major, said she was satisfied with the “accommodating” and “helpful” resources provided by the counseling center, and that said she valued the one-onone sessions she spent with her counselor. “It was cool getting that face to face time talking,” Thompson said. “It was cool because she could read my facial expressions see HEALTH on page 4 >>

According to a report by the Coloradoan, the building located about a half mile away from Colorado State University at 2150 Centre Ave. had signs taped on the doors Tuesday morning that said the buildings were closed and no one would be allowed inside. A tweet by Denver7 shows a hand-made sign on the door of the B-building: The Forest Service for Arapahoe Roosevelt and Canyon Lakes announced in a tweet that their Fort Collins offices were closed due to safety concerns.

Q: What drew you to student media? A: I think what drew me to Student Media most is the fact that you are thrown right into the fire. It’s a learn as you go kind of place. There is really no hand holding, so any mistakes you make are going to stick around. To me, there is no better way to learn. You can come in and get straight to work with people who are looking to do the same things as you. Q: What are your favorite hobbies? A: This is going to be the most sterotypical answer for a sports guy, but I like to play sports. I played mostly football and hockey growing up and always wanted to play professionally when I was a little tyke. Obviously that didn’t happen, so I settle for a lot of skiing.

Lettuce grown on campus to be served at dining centers By Erin Douglas @erinmdouglas23

Housing and Dining Services will serve food grown on campus for the first time at the University Fall Picnic Wednesday. The lettuce on the sandwiches to be served at the picnic is the first product to be grown entirely on the CSU campus by the department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture. Lettuce grown entirely on campus will be served at Corbett/Parmelee dining center salad bars beginning in October. Royce Lahman, the meal access coordinator for Housing and Dining Services, said this farm-to-table initiative has been in the works since the last spring semester, but the idea was born when he was a freshman student at CSU working with Dr. Steven Newman, a floriculture, greenhouse crops and stress physiology professor. “Royce has a bachelor of science degree in horticulture and I was his advisor,” Newman wrote in an email to the Collegian. “This was always a dream that he had while he was a student ... It has been his passion that has driven this project.” Dr. Tony Frank’s presidential address will be the first test of the program, and Lahman said he hopes to expand the initiative to the rest of campus. “This will be our debut of

University-grown lettuce,” Lahman said. “(The initiative) is going to expand and develop to other locations and events as well.” The gardens will be able to grow about 25 pounds of lettuce weekly, which Newman says will provide the basics for a salad bar, but is only a fraction of what the dining halls need. However, during the summer months, an outdoor student garden will be able to offer more products as the program grows.

“The farm-to-table trend is growing across the nation, and we want to bring that to campus.” ROYCE LAHMAN HOUSING AND DINING

Lahman said the new Horticulture center, which was completed in May 2015, helped make their dream a reality. “(This allowed us) to see if we could have local and sustainable food options grown on campus,” Lahman said. While lettuce is the first

product to be entirely grown and served on campus, the initiative may expand to other products in the future. “We are hopeful that this continues … to offer other items in select areas,” Lahman said. “We’ve been thinking about going to a soft fruit crop, like tomatoes. The farm-to-table trend is growing across the nation, and we want to bring that to campus.” Newman wrote that lettuce see LETTUCE on page 4 >>

Stanford bans hard alcohol from undergraduate parties, citing ‘dangers that arise’ from binge drinking By Rosanna Xia Stanford University has banned hard alcohol from undergraduate parties and shots from graduate-student parties in an effort to limit the availability of distilled liquor as well as the violence, vandalism and other consequences that may come from binge drinking, schools officials announced this week. “The University does not tolerate reckless drinking _ lawful or unlawful _ and its consequent harmful behaviors,” according to the updated student alcohol policy. “The University is especially concerned about the misuse of distilled alcohol products (“hard alcohol”), and the dangers that arise from that misuse.” Brock Turner, a former Stanford University swimmer who in June was sentenced to six months in jail for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster on campus, blamed “party culture and risk-taking behavior” for his actions. Describing himself as an “inexperienced drinker and par-

ty-goer,” Turner, in a letter he penned to Santa Clara Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky, said he had never experienced partying that involved alcohol until he attended Stanford, where he began drinking to relieve the stress of school and competitive swimming. “The swim team set no limits on partying or drinking and I saw the guys take full advantage of these circumstances, while I was shown to do the same,” he wrote. On Jan. 17, 2015, the night of the sexual assault, Turner said he drank five beers and two “swigs” of Fireball whiskey and bounced from one party to another. Earlier this year, university officials met with students, faculty and staff to discuss ways to address drinking culture on campus and the pressure that students may feel to drink. “High-risk drinking is not a problem unique to Stanford, but we believe that the strategies we pursue to address the negative consequences of this behavior must be rooted in our particular campus culture and our respect for one another,” Greg Boardman, vice provost for student af-

The center has 2-3 staff oncall during business hours, MacQuiddy wrote. “We are always available to see someone immediately or with just a brief wait the same day,” MacQuiddy wrote. “If a student is in crisis though, we will make sure that they have a

follow-up plan with the on-call counselor or someone else on our staff.” The University began piloting You@CSU in the fall of 2015 to meet the needs of the student body. You@CSU is an interactive online portal associated with the CSU Health Network that connects students to social and academic information, tools and resources. Patrias said the portal focuses on three different aspects of well-being: succeed, thrive and matter. Succeed provides students with access to academic and career support. Thrive focuses on the student’s physical and mental health. Matter helps students find purpose, meaning

>> LETTUCE from page 3 was specifically chosen because horticulture students will be able to work with the crop from seed to harvest. “Lettuce is a good crop for students to learn vegetable production in the greenhouse,” Newman wrote. “A typical (lettuce) crop takes about 50 days from sowing the seed to harvest the crop. This way a student can

see a crop from start to finish during one semester.” The initiative is also in line with the University’s commitment to sustainability, Lehman said. “We want to be as sustainable as possible and drive our students to sustainable food,” Lehman said. “Our link to sustainable food buying options not only benefits the environment,

fairs, wrote in an email Monday to students. “Among the concerns we hear are that some students drink alcohol as a means to overcome social anxiety and others feel alienated by their peers’ drinking, sometimes to the extent that they do not feel welcome in their own houses or organizations,” he wrote. “These dynamics are unacceptable to us, as are the range of problems that are too frequently associated with alcohol misuse. The university’s updated alcohol policy still allows beer and wine at on-campus undergraduate parties, but specifically limits hard alcohol. Hard liquor _ defined as more than 40 proof, or 20 percent alcohol by volume _ must be in bottles smaller than 750 milliliters in undergraduate dorm rooms and common spaces or when consumed by undergraduates at any public space on campus, such as athletic facilities or dining halls. “Any group or residence that includes undergraduate members is subject to this policy restriction,” the policy states. “Groups and residences that are

The portal was officially launched February 2016 and has gained momentum in the past year. “You@CSU is not intended to be an alternative to talking to a counselor,” Patrias said. “We want students to have digital tools that they can use whenever, wherever they like. We also strongly endorse students to access counseling services when they need it.” The increase of demand for counseling services will also be addressed by the $59 million CSU Health and Medical Center being built on Prospect and College.

it benefits students to see that those options are out there.” While Newman says the program can only grow a fraction of what the dining halls need, the project will be a learning opportunity for students consuming and producing the crops. “The bonus is that our students are the customer,” Newman wrote. “What we are teaching our students is how to grow

100 percent graduate student in membership are exempt and may have hard alcohol in the form of mixed drinks at registered ‘Members’ parties.’” Straight shots of hard alcohol, the policy notes, are prohibited at all parties. Bottles smaller than 750 milliliters are allowed for students 21 and older, but the alcohol must be contained and stored in the original bottle in which it was purchased from a licensed establishment, the university said. Since most retailers only sell bottles of hard alcohol larger than 750 milliliters the policy could reduce the availability of hard alcohol at parties. The restrictions do not amount to a total ban, but focus on limiting high-risk, binge-drinking behavior, said Ralph Castro, director of the university’s office of alcohol policy and education. Depending on the circumstances, students who violate the alcohol policy could be sent to mandatory alcohol education seminars or referred to counseling or treatment. Continued or concerning behavior may result

The new 113,000 square foot building will better accommodate the needs of students seeking counseling services and create more job opportunities for the CSU community, Patrias said. “The increase in student space will make room for more peer educators, student advocates and counseling assistants,” Patrias said.

vegetable crops efficiently and professionally. The modern consumer wants to know where their food comes from and that it is produced with sustainable practices.” Consumers want more farmto-table crops, but right now, most of the produce sold in the U.S. is shipped from regions with milder climates, Newman wrote. One of the goals of the project is

in removal from university housing or other disciplinary measures, Castro said. The ban likely will be unpopular when students return to campus in September. In a campus-wide referendum this spring, more than 91 percent voted against a hard alcohol ban, and about 1,720 people signed a petition against the proposal, according to The Stanford Daily. Boardman, in his letter to students, acknowledged that some of them may try to find a way around the rules. “I challenge you not to focus on the policy as something to be worked around. Instead, I ask you to bring your best selves to this endeavor, to consider the real concerns raised by your fellow students, and those articulated here, and to be a part of solving this problem,” he wrote. “We must create a campus community that allows for alcohol to be a part of the social lives of some of our students, but not to define the social and communal lives of all of our students.” Briefs from McClatchy Tribune

CampusView: Thoughts on the Milwaukee Riots This week’s topic: On August 13, Milwaukee was set ablaze by protesters rioting against the police killing of Sylville Smith. The man was killed by a black police officer after pointing a gun at him. The protesters, many aligned with the Black Lives Matter movement, burned down a gas station, bank, and other buildings in a predominantly black neighborhood. Were their actions justified? Why or why not? By Anonymous

to stick up for. By saying they’re so uneducated that they don’t know or care about right from wrong is incredibly hurtful. On top of that, the cop that shot this man was black as well, and he only fired after the suspect pointed a firearm at him. What part of that is white police brutality? And what part of burning down a predominantly black community was supposed to help them? People need to stop making excuses for stuff like this and try to instill a little something that I call personal responsibility. It will go a long way in helping to make their own communities better so things like this don’t happen. Change starts form within.

@CSUCollegian

Opinion Against: Many people have been claiming that systemic racism and poverty are the cause of the outrage and violence seen in black communities. They will also say that the so called ‘white-supremacy’ among police leads to black people being murdered with no punishment to the officer. So what they’re actually saying is “These people are too poor to know that burning down buildings and destroying local business is wrong.” Are you kidding me? Not only is that a load of crap, but it’s actually demeaning to those they’re trying

AGAINST

Opinion For: The shooting of Sylville Smith was tragic and the riots and destruction that followed were almost equally as tragic. What people are forgetting here is that these outbursts weren’t because of an isolated incident, but as a result of the silencing of their voices. For years now, the inner cities and poorer areas of the country have been neglected, forgotten, and utterly avoided. Black men and women die every day and literally nobody cares. It is due to this the residents in Milwaukee chose to riot; it was the only way their voices would

have been heard. Do you believe that anyone would have even heard of Sylville Smith if the people had held some calm town hall meeting? Definitely not, and nothing would have been done about police brutality. The fact is, poor people (I.e., black people, more often than not) do not have a strong or respectable position in modern society. Their voices are heard less or not at all. If you were in the same situation where your family lived in almost permanent poverty and people were getting shot and killed at random while nobody listened or cared, what would you do?

Fayne: Don’t chase stories; invest in your community Chynna Fayne @chynnafayne

The saying goes: Give people flowers while they’re alive to smell them. This summer a lot of lives were lost, a lot of hurt happened, and the question of how to build community has been in the air; I personally think that giving people the support, love, and attention they need and seek while they are alive would be a wonderful start. This summer 32-year-old Alton Sterling was killed by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Sterling was shot outside the Baton Rouge convenience store after an encounter with two police officers. The officers can be seen in the video on top of him before shots were fired.” Sterling was the father of five children and after the murder of their father, a GoFundMe Campaign was created to assist in sending Sterling’s children to college and the completion of his wife raising their children. In total $700,000 was made in honor of Alton Sterling. This was such an amazing act of kindness, to see individuals in the community com-

ing to the aid of others in need. A day after Alton Sterling’s tragic killing, Philando Castile was shot four times in front of his fiancé and their four-year-old daughter while trying to show a police officer his permit to carry and registration during a traffic stop. Castile worked as a cafeteria supervisor, where he was loved by the student and staff that worked alongside him at J.J. Hill Montessori Magnet School in Saint Paul, Minnesota. After his death only days before his birthday, TIME Magazine says his school held a memorial in his honor. All who attended were in disbelief that this amazing human being was gone. Someone who played such a key role in the lives of children in the community had been taken away too soon. Never the less, people gathered to share the amazing things that he did for their school and in the lives of their kids. How beautiful this must have been. These two deaths are just a couple that have taken place, and just like many people have stated, blacks aren’t just all of a sudden being killed they’ve been being killed the world is just now seeing it live on video. The tragedy of these incidents still hit hard regardless of how many lives have been taken. However, with this kind of

publicity and the Black Lives Matter Movement keeping the world abreast of the injustices done to Blacks by the police, it has bred a lot of action and story followers; people who are just chasing after these horrific issues but never really being of any value or assistance to the community or movement as a whole. Don’t just be a part of the community when the community is trending. Giving to Alton Sterling’s family after his death was an amazing act, but the sad realization is if he was still alive his kids might still face the possibility of never going to college and watching their father live pay check to pay check. Invest in your communities regardless of if you’re black, white, Hispanic, Asian, etc. Give to your community while there is still life in your community. Don’t sit around and wait until someone is breathing their last breath to be in outrage or to find a concern. Everyone wants to come to the funeral, everyone wants to cry, and people will give hundreds of dollars on GoFundMe to help with burial costs. But if you tell those same people your dream or ask them to invest in your goals they’ll have every excuse under the sun as to why right now isn’t a good time or why they can’t. These people are what’s

wrong in the community. To watch and see someone with a need go without for selfish purposes and then have a change of conscience when that person is in a tragic position is a hindrance to us all. It is sad to say that we live in a society of constant complaint and outrage, but no one is ever outraged or complaining until the cameras come out and a hashtag is trending. To be a part of progression, if this is a dream of yours, is not to be a social justice warrior. It’s not even about you individually; It’s about the end goal. Until the goal becomes bigger than the notoriety and fame, we will forever live in a world full of people living from sad story to sad story with no hope of change.

In the end don’t just be a movement chaser or a hot-topic follower. You can’t change the world over night, but by investing in your community and in the lives of community members, I’m positive you will help those in need and bring back at least a little sanity in this world. Give people their flowers while they can still smell them. Don’t wait until the last moment to care and don’t be outraged when something could have and should have been done all along. Take a stand now, speak up now, help now. You don’t have to wait for the next hashtag in order to have a voice. Chynna Fayne can be reached at news@collegian.com

The greatest Rocky Mountain Showdowns in history: No. 3 By Justin Michael @JustinTMichael

Aug. 30, 2003. CU 42 CSU 35 Any great rivalry has a few moments that truly stand out in history. Heading into the 2003 Rocky Mountain Showdown, there were a lot of storylines to follow. “Little brother” had grown up and the Rams were no longer a stomping mat for CU. In the backfield for the Rams, none other than former CU running back Marcus Houston. However on this night it was all about the quarterbacks. A crowd of 76, 219 fans—the largest Rocky Mountain Showdown crowd in history— packed Invesco Field at Mile High, battling the rain and lightning to witness a quarterback battle for the ages. Coming into the nationally televised contest, led by senior quarterback Bradlee Van Pelt, No. 23 Colorado State came into the game confident, having defeated Colorado in three of the previous four seasons. Known for being a charismatic player, Van Pelt called out the Buffaloes for weeks prior to the game. CU and sophomore quarterback Joel Klatt came into the game with a chip on his shoulder and on a stormy evening, the young signal caller gave an electrifying performance. Arguably the only time in

history, where CU was considered the underdog in the game, the “Klatt era” started with an upset of a Ram legend in BVP. The two teams combined for over 1,000 yards of total offense, including 741 through the air. Klatt was phenomenal, completing 21-of-34 passes for 402 yards and four touchdowns, outplaying Van Pelt, who put up career high totals in total yardage (339) and touchdown passes (three). With the score tied 7-7 in the second quarter, Van Pelt dropped back and delivered a 32yard touchdown strike to Chris Pittman, putting the Rams up by 14-7. Less than one minute later, Klatt and the Buffs came storming back with an 82-yard touchdown pass to Derek McCoy. Klatt would throw two more touchdown passes in the quarter, one to D.J. Hackett and one John Dohnahoe. Down by fourteen to open the half (28-14), Van Pelt opened the third quarter with a 38-yard touchdown pass to Chris Pittman (28-21). Just like he did earlier, Klatt struck right back, delivering a 78-yard heave to Derek McCoy late in the third quarter. Just seconds after the score, lightning began to strike near the stadium and the game would be delayed 28 minutes. Coming out of the delay, Van

Pelt and the Rams began a furious fourth quarter comeback. Thirty seconds into the final quarter, David Anderson hauled in a 33-yard touchdown reception, once again bringing the green and gold within a single score, 35-28. With just under two minutes remaining in the game, Van Pelt rushed for a 30-yard score, tying the game for the first time since the first quarter. After appearing to be dead in the water, Van Pelt and the Rams had come all the way back to tie the game and had a chance to force overtime. The Buffaloes and the hot handed Klatt had led the entire game, but after blowing a double-digit fourth quarter lead, the Buffs still had a chance to go down the field and re-take the lead. Like he had done all game, Klatt took care of business, hitting Jeremy Bloom inside the 10-yard line with less than one minute remaining. One play later, Bobby Purify rushed for the game winning touchdown with 40 seconds remaining, finalizing the Buffs 42-35 win. Van Pelt and the Rams fell just short of defeating the Buffaloes for the fourth time in five years, but this game will forever be remembered as one of the most exciting college football games of the decade. From the atmosphere in the

Age just a number for CSU secondary By Justin Michael @JustinTMichael

After losing nine starters on defense from last season, CSU football will be have an extremely inexperienced defense 2016. In most cases inexperience can lead to miscommunication, but CSU defensive coordinator Marty English is excited for the young players to go out and get experience. “I’m excited because they are hungry and eager,” English said at the introductory press conference this fall. English referenced how this is not the first time he has had to rely on a young defense. When the Jim McElwain staff first arrived in 2012, nearly the entire starting defense was comprised of freshman and sophomores. By 2014, the team was in their third year starting together and it showed in their overall record (10-3). The benefit is this coaching staff essentially gets to build this defense from the ground up and there is optimism for this young group moving forward. Players like redshirt juniors Justin Sweet and Jake Schlager have been

around the program for awhile and picked up some hints and tricks, but until they get game experience, they are considered young. “In a year from now, we are probably going to be quite a bit better than this year and in two years we are going to be really good, but we don’t want to wait that long, so the best part is how hungry these guys are,” English said. When asked on what newcomers in the secondary impressed the CSU defensive coordinator in camp, English responded with sophomore defensive back Braylin Scott. As a versatile player that can play both cornerback and safety, Scott saw limited action as a freshman (2015), recording ten tackles and two pass breakups. “He (Scott) is going to be a very good player for us,” English said. “He is a young guy. We had to play him a little bit last year, but as far as that goes, being a sophomore, Scott has stepped up and done a nice job for us.” Along with Scott, English has been impressed with fresh-

man defensive back Jamal Hicks. “He (Hicks) can move well,” English said. “He does a lot of good things. He is young. He is light, but we are going to have to work through it a little bit. “ Other young defensive backs to look out for in the future? Junior Kevin Nutt Jr., freshman DB Robert Awunganyi, and redshirt sophomore Demontrie Taylor. Nutt is a guy that has been around a little bit longer but never really seen substantial playing time. He is currently listed as the backup at free safety, behind redshirt junior Jake Schlager. Awunganyi is a true freshman and will need some time to develop, but English is excited for what his future holds. “Once he (Awunganyi) learns exactly when he needs to weave to the inside or set hard on the outside, Robert has a big-time time chance to be a contributor,” English said. Taylor, like Nutt, has been around the program for a few years but is competing for playing time for the first time. English referenced that Taylor will need a lot of snaps this season

to develop and that he would get them, but that the coaching staff loves his toughness. “Demontrie is a tough kid that has that Kevin Pierre-Louis striking ability,” English said. Replacing an entire secondary is a tough position for any coaching staff to be in and there

will be some kinks in the road along the way. Colorado State will have a young defensive outlook in 2016, but lots of young players in starting roles means the future is bright. Collegian sports reporter Justin Michael can be reached by email at sports@collegian.com.

CSU releases first depth chart of 2016 By Eric Wolf @Eric_Wolf5

The Colorado State Rams released the team’s first depth chart of the season during Monday’s game week press conference. There was plenty of reaction to the first copy of the depth chart, especially at the quarterback position. As it stands right now, CSU has three possible starting quarterbacks. Faton Bauta, Nick Stevens, and Collin Hill were all listed as could be starters for Friday’s game. By game time, the starter will be revealed. “I feel very confident with all three guys that you could go out and be productive offensively with them,” coach Mike Bobo said. “I just feel better with one at this time.” Bobo has known his starter for days now but said on Monday that he is just not releasing it publicly in order to make life a little bit harder for Colorado defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt. On Tuesday, Bobo said that he would rotate players frequently across the field to keep players fresh, and due to inexperience, he would play players in specific scenarios based on their grasp of the offense. It’s a flexible depth chart. Dalyn Dawkins was listed as the starter at running back, but second stringer Izzy Matthews and Freshman Marvin Kinsey will all see significant action against the Buffaloes. Marcus Wilson, Olabisi Johnson and Sammie Long fill out the first group of wide receivers. Xavier Williams, Michael Gallup, Robert Ruiz, and Dietrich Clark should also figure into the passing game. Wilson, the number one slot receiver, quickly moved his way into the starting lineup after converting from the defensive backfield during spring practice. “He’s a smart guy, he’s improved so much. He has some football savvy to him,” offensive coordinator Will Friend said. “He’s physical, probably playing some defensive back helped him be a little bit more of a physical player.” Nolan Peralta and Danny Nwosu will be the primary tight ends in the base offense, while juco transfer Dalton Fackrell will likely see action in passing situations. The Rams front five will

consist of left tackle Nick Callender, left guard Paul Thurston, center Jake Bennett, right guard Fred Zerblis, and right tackle Zach Golditch. The team has kept the competition open along the front line for much of fall camp. Colby Meeks and Trae Moxley are two players who could see some playing time throughout the season in a reserve role, but the five players above solidified themselves as the best unit.

“I feel very confident with all three guys that you could go out and be productive offensively with them.” MIKE BOBO COACH

Defense: Josh Lovingood, Jakob Buys, and Darnell Thompson worked as the first group for most of fall camp and enter the season as the three starting defensive lineman. Johnny Schupp, Toby McBride, O’Shea Jackson, and Colton Foster are the next guys up along the line. Freshman defensive lineman Christian Colon was not listed on the depth chart. Bobo called it an error with the chart and that Colon will dress is expected to play. Defensive coordinator Marty English said that he will move his guys around a lot of the time in order to keep players fresh, which means some players might at multiple spots. “(We are) deep enough that we have to roll guys through for sure,” English said. “With that, the depth we are having to come up with is not everybody in their normal positions.” Josh Watson and Kevin Davis take over on the inside of the field in the absence of middle linebacker Deonte Cly-

burn. Tre’ Thomas will start in the base defense as the “sam” linebacker, while Kiel Robinson will play a major role in the defense during passing situations as the nickel middle linebacker. Redshirt Junior Evan Colorito is the number one “buck” or outside linebacker, but Bryan Ohene-Gyeni could see some pass rush work when called on. With CU’s experience at the quarterback, tight end and receiver positions, the CSU secondary will be tested heavily in the first game of the season. Special teams standout Jake Schlager takes over the starting strong safety position. Braylin Scott and Justin Sweet battled for the other safety spot during camp, but Sweet looks to have

won that battle. Scott will still see plenty of playing time as the number one nickel cornerback. Tyree Simmons was the clear-cut starting cornerback returning for this team, and he is joined by converted wide receiver Jordon Vaden who will start the game at the opposite corner spot. Vaden battled with Kevin Nutt Jr. throughout camp, but Bobo said the senior took back over the position last week and has not relinquished it. Special Teams: Dawkins, the starting running back, will also be returning kickoffs during Friday’s game, while redshirt senior receiver Robert Ruiz is tasked with replacing Joe Hansley as

the punt returner. “That’s what Dalyn does,” Bobo said. “He’s gonna see the hole and then he’s gonna hit the hole full speed. There’s no dancing in kickoff return.” Bobo added that he picked Ruiz because of his reliability with ball security, as well as his toughness and small-field quickness from working in the slot-receiver role. An improved Wyatt Bryan returns as the field goal kicker, and will also handle the kickoffs on Friday. There was no surprise at the punter position. Hayden Hunt’s the guy there.

Britney Spears’ ninth album “Glory” is unoriginal and unsatisfying By Zoe Jennings Although it comes as somewhat of a surprise that Britney Spears is still making music, she released her ninth album “Glory” on Aug. 26, and it is extremely hard to stomach. The album is completely devoid of any irresistibly catchy songs like those put out in the early 2000s and is now just Britney’s subpar voice with seemingly plagiarized electronic tracks from other pop artists. “Make Me” was released on July 15 as the album’s lead single. The song features rapper G-Eazy. It is smooth and has cool synth and guitar but does not have anything that stands out. “Invitation” is the first track on the album. It is another smooth song that has a relaxing vibe that is comfortable to listen to but is not altogether an enriching experience. “Private Show” is very aggressive and robotic sounding. Britney barks throughout the song to “work it, work it, boy watch me work it. Slide down

my pole, watch me spin it and twerk it.” The song seems to lack the sex appeal that the lyr-

Britney failed at what she does best: making catchy songs. ics infer. “Private Show” is also a fragrance by Britney. “Man on the Moon” follows Britney’s affinity for space. The song seems overly simplistic, but at least it reminds us of the “Oops!... I Did It Again” video when she played a seductive alien. The title-track “Glory” has a

sound reminiscent of pop artists such as Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, and “Better” has similarities to Justin Bieber’s song “Cold Water.” “What you need” is an upbeat soulful song, but once more, the vocal range of the song was too complicated to match her singing ability. Her voice in the chorus came off as screechy and annoying. Final Score: 1.5/5 The fact that “Glory” is Britney’s ninth album is itself a victory and shows that Britney Spears just keeps going and can evolve to match, or maybe even copy, the current sounds of pop. Britney bravely steered clear of her catchy-song vibe that originally helped her become famous and went for a smoother more mature sound, which completely failed. Although Britney’s ability to stay relevant is commendable, “Glory” is unsatisfactory for the listener due to its unoriginality and lack of quality songs.

Most relatable songs for the emotions of freshman year By Camila Nadalet @camila.nadalet

The first semester of college is full of emotions. Particularly, there are a lot of thoughts running through the heads of freshmen in the first few week of class. They are in a different and unfamiliar place, and all they keep hearing is the upperclassmen talking about everything that they missed from Fort Collins over the summer: Horsetooth, hiking, live music and window slices dipped in spicy ranch from Cosmo’s. With such a large amount of information going into their ears, freshmen are eager to start really experiencing college, and the emotions definitely run high. Here is a list of songs that perfectly sum up the feelings associated with the first weeks of the first semester of the first year of college: “If You’re Happy and You Know It” by Dr. Alfred B. Smith The freshmen are happy and they know it. Walking around campus, one can see the happiness radiating off of them from deep within their souls.

There is not a care in the world because they have successfully obtained a high school diploma, been accepted to their dream school and are now living out that dream as a college student. The high from summer has not quite worn off yet, so it seems as though basically everything makes them happy. Rightfully so, I might add, because everything that they experience contributes to why the next four years will hopefully go down in history as some of the best years of their lives, and that is definitely something to be happy about. “I’m So Excited” by the Pointer Sisters “I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it.” I distinctly remember singing these lines on more than one occasion leading up to move-in day freshman year. There are so many things for the freshmen to be excited about as new students on campus. They’re getting to know a new area, meeting a million different people and stuffing their faces with free food in the dining halls all the while trying to shove their entire lives into a box of

a room. But regardless of how much space they may have, or lack thereof, knowing that their new roomie could very likely be one of their best friends for life is just another piece in the emotional puzzle of excitement. “Cooler Than Me” by Mike Posner Fort Collins is cool, CSU is cool and football games are cool; Therefore, the individuals participating in these cool things also feel cool. This is the case especially when those individuals are freshmen. I remember my freshman year thinking that I was the coolest person alive and that nobody was on my level. They are on a big campus with a lot of people, seeing new things, going to parties with people who are not in their teens and making this city their home. All of this feels really cool, and that’s because it is. “Free” by Zac Brown Band Freedom: the biggest, most prominent emotion running through the freshman dorms at the start of a new school year. There are no more parents telling you what to do, no more

worrying about having to be home before curfew and best of all, no more having to do the dishes every night after dinner. To add to the freedom is the fact that they are living on your own, there are no bills to be paid, they don’t have to cook for themselves and they don’t even have to clean their own bathroom. Freshman are quite literally “free as [they’ll] ever be.” The bottom line is being a freshman is fun. Actually, being

in college in general is fun. From what I hear, we’re going to miss it very dearly when it is all over. So to all you college students, freshman or not, never stop feeling happy, excited, cool and free. It gets hard and tiring; That’s for sure. But hopefully, when all is said and done, you will be singing “man, I love college.” Camila Nadalet can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com

Newly opened Daddy Cakes Bakery offers more than 30 different treats By Taylor Felver Daddy Cakes Bakery, the newly opened pastry shop on South College Avenue, is nestled in a small shop, but inside is an urban atmosphere where more than 36 different meals, snacks and desserts are created. When first walking into the store, one of the initial impressions I received was how open the space felt despite its small size. The decor of Daddy Cakes Bakery conveys a rustic aura catered to fit in perfectly with the outdoors feeling of Fort Collins. With this welcoming atmosphere, Daddy Cakes Bakery puts a twist on the typical bakery feeling. Claiming to have Fort Collins’ best croissants, Daddy Cakes Bakery has multiple types of flavors including brown sugar, raspberry, ham and cheese and even spinach and goat cheese.

I tried the brown sugar and the bacon and cheddar croissants. True to its word, Daddy Cakes Bakery’s croissants were

slices that are perfectly moist and delectable and include a range of flavors such as carrot cake and limoncello. Bakeries do not normally offer such a wide variety of foods, which makes Daddy Cakes Bakery that more appealing. What is particularly special for bakery connoisseurs wanting to try Daddy Cakes Bakery is the set up. The bakers craft and decorate professional cakes in front of the store where customers can watch. This unique factor enforced feelings of comfort and homeliness. The multiple options were what really proved to make Daddy Cakes Bakery a noteworthy business. Overall, I would recommend visiting and trying out one of their many enjoyable treats. Taylor Felver can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com PHOTO BY TAYLOR FELVER COLLEGIAN

Inside ASCSU: What it Takes to Grill the Buffs By Christina Vessa @chrissyvessa

Have you ever wondered what it is like to plan an event for more than 2,000 people? If so, take a look into the last few months of Bobbie Nathan’s life. She is the ASCSU director of traditions and programs, which puts her in charge of making this year’s 10th-annual Grill the Buffs happen. Nathan’s life has consisted of booking catering reservations, organizing dozens of volunteers and planning behind-the-scenes surprises for the festivities on Thursday. She made it her goal to serve up buffalo patties to thousands of students before Friday’s rivalry game – for free. The biggest task was figuring out if Coach Bobo and the football team could make the event. Grill the Buffs needed to be as close to the Rocky Mountain Showdown as possible, and it adds a whole new element to the event when the coach and team are in-person, getting students excited for the game. Picking the date was a lot harder than it should have been. Originally, Grill the Buffs was supposed to be today, Wednesday, August 31st. When Nathan found out that Bobo and the team were only available on Thursday, she had to re-schedule everything she had previ-

ously planned, but it eventually worked out in our favor. Nathan is big on school spirit and unifying students, so this role as director of traditions and programs is an opportunity to follow through with what it means to be a CSU Ram. She’s been thinking about Grill the Buffs since her ASCSU Cabinet ratification in April. As June 1 hit, she wasn’t just meeting with the caterers – she was meeting with the audio team, a production company and a group of others who have been working on this event for months. Since June, this team has been deciding where people, games and tables will be positioned in the Sculpture Garden during the event on Thursday. She said the little details are the ones that matter. Questions like who is going to provide the ice and where the ice is going to go often come about when planning an event of this scale. She said you have to continue to ask questions in order to make things work correctly. All of this planning is fun, but super intimidating as a student, especially since Nathan is surrounded by professionals who have been doing this for years. In her role, she had the power to either accept or decline suggestions from this elite team. “You are surrounded by all of these people who are so good at

FILE PHOTO COLLEGIAN

their jobs, but you still have the power to be like, ‘eh,’ and shoot it down,” Nathan said. All of this sounds nice, but it didn’t just come together without months of hard work. Although 2,000 buffalo patties will be served up for this event, Nathan said she could have ordered 3,000 and there would still not be enough to serve everyone. Buffalo meat

is expensive – even though the event is free, each serving adds up to $6.25 per person, and all of this money came out of Nathan’s ASCSU traditions and programs budget. She said the price of buffalo meat is the reason why there can’t be more burgers for everyone. Last year, there were 1,500 burgers and they completely ran out by 1pm.

“First come, first serve,” Nathan said. For any Ram who has not taken a bite out of these delicious buffalo patties before the big game against the University of Colorado Buffalos, treat yourself to this tradition! Be sure to get there early and help Nathan Grill the Buffs. Christina Vessa can be reached at blogs@collegian.com.

Seriously: You can choose not to party, but you’re probably a loser By Tatiana Parafiniuk-Talesnick @TatianaSophiaPT

New evidence suggests that although you can choose not to party, you’re probably a loser. “This research came from studying two different kinds of people,” said Kumi Ando, the Ph.D. student behind this research. “Those who went out on a Friday night and those who did not.” According to Ando’s research, those who were apparently “choosing not to party” were really just not given the opportunity. As a result, they spent much of their time wondering where in life they went wrong to not be included in said parties. “The really fascinating part was that those who were at par-

ties seemed to be absolutely unperturbed by their choices,” Ando said. “They all seemed pretty pleased with themselves, actually.” The new research contradicts old data collected from your mom when you were 14. It appears that although your mom did say that you “didn’t have to do what all the other kids were doing” to have fun, she was wrong. Ando is very excited about where his research has taken him and he looks forward to doing similar research in the future. “Next, I want to take a look at whether students who spend hours in the library are being good students or just lack any sense of self,” Ando said.

Bottoms Up!!! More than fried chicken at Music City Hot Chicken By Ashley Haberman Music City Hot Chicken is one of Fort Collins newest establishments, and a well thought out one at that. The casual order at the counter and get a number vibe makes it a dining out experience for any occasion, but the bar scene reminds me of a punk rock dive bar out of Portland, OR. According to the hip tattooed bartender, the house margaritas are the most sought after drink. Made with fresh

sweet-and-sour and Lunazul Blanco, these simple yet delicious margaritas can also come with a kick of the City’s house green chili or hot sauce. The Whiskey Smash, made with mint simple syrup, Jim beam bourbon, the Brass Monkey with Mickeys Grenade and OJ are some of the other potent and unique options. The many Mules are another Music City Hot Chicken must. Made with Moscow-Spring 44 Vodka (the favorite of the Mules), Mex-

ican-Sauza, London-Spring 44 Gin, Tennessee-Dickel Sour Mash Whiskey and dark, stormy-Goslings Rum, there’s a Mule for everyone at Music City Hot Chicken. But if you’re not in the mood for spirits, the City offers Shiner Bock, Friar Chuck Kolsch, New Belgium heavy melon and Odell IPA on draft. So if you’re looking for a mid-week drink, hit up Music City Hot Chicken. Collegian writer Ashley Haberman can be reached at blogs@collegian.com.

FROM CAMP TO FORT: MID-1800S FORT COLLINS Information for this column was obtained from An Anecdotal History of the Parks and Recreation Department: Fort Collins, Colorado, compiled by Jean Helburg. “In 1862, a military encampment called Camp Collins was established at Point of Rocks, just northwest of the town of Laporte on the Poudre River, and named for Colonel William O. Collins, Commander of the 11th Cavalry Ohio Regiment stationed at Fort Laramie in Wyoming.

“The camp was established to protect the Overland Stage Company and emigrating pioneers from stage robbers and Indians. As the result of a disastrous flood in 1864, the encampment was moved five miles downstream to higher ground south of the river and just north of the present-day Old Town area of Fort Collins. A burial site was needed, and one was chosen ½ mile southwest on the site of the original Post Office at Oak and College. “This military tract was a large four-mile square area that extended as far south as present-day Harmony Road. The area actually occupied by the military was much smaller, stretching from what is now North College Avenue to just east of Linden Street, and from the river south to Jefferson Street. The encampment was renamed Fort Collins.”
