From Pianos to Storm Drains: Art around Fort Collins

In Fort Collins, pianos, transformer boxes, blank walls, pavement and storm drains all have one thing in common – they are all canvases for local and national artists through the Art in Public Places program. “It’s our art. It’s public art,” said Jill Kreutzer, chair of the board for Art in Public Places. Art in Public Places, celebrating its 20th birthday this month, is the organization responsible for the painted pianos in Old Town and the painted transformer boxes all over the city. It also works with other branches of the local government to install art in new buildings and coordinates art in city-owned spaces. “How can you create an identity and a unique look for your city?” said Ellen Martin, director of Art in Public Places. “We have a diversity of projects and themes.” Art programs around town is a common trend nationally, Martin said. However, Fort Collins is distinguished as the pioneer of painting transformer boxes. Martin has spoken with many towns across the country,
giving advice on implementing such a project. “Artists are now painting boxes all across the country,” she said. The transformer box projects began ten years ago as a graffiti abatement program. Fort Collins Utilities identified boxes often tagged with graffiti and reached out to Martin and the Art in Public Places program to work out a way to stop the defacement. They decided to hire local artists to create murals on the boxes that were being tagged to deter graffiti vandalism. The art is designed to be busy, without any dead space, to deter likely places for graffiti. “The artwork doesn’t get tagged,” Kreutzer said. “Taggers respect the art.” There are now more than two hundred transformer boxes painted around the city, with more than a dozen added every year. The first cabinet has not been tagged in ten years. The program saves money for the city, since removing graffiti from the boxes is expensive, and provides exposure for local artists. Transformer boxes are only painted by local artists who are
based in Fort Collins, Martin said. One such artist is Alison Dickson, a muralist working on a transformer box near Horsetooth and Shields. Dickson, a professional artist, has lived in Fort Collins for 35 years and said it is the most art-friendly place she has ever lived. “Once they select the artist, the artist comes up with three themes,” she said. “And the Board on the Art in Public Places chooses which theme they would like in front of this location.” Dickson is painting a mural of cacti inspired by scenes in nature she saw in Tuscan, Arizona, at an art convention. It is her third transformer mural in town. She began working in Art in Public Places by designing a storm drain marker and has also painted two pianos. To paint or design art for Art in Public Places, artists can subscribe to a specific newsletter for artist opportunities. Students can apply to paint murals as well, Martin said. It beautifies the city and gives artists good exposure in a permanent way, she said. Erika Osborne, associate professor in the art and art history department at CSU, said she
has had several students paint pianos as part of the program. “That has given them a venue for expression,” she said. “In addition, being in a community that values the arts can substantiate their choice of pursuing a career in the arts, which isn’t always easy.” Dickson said it takes her about 40 hours to paint a transformer box, and because all the painting happens outside, she works in the mornings and evenings to avoid the heat of the day causing clumps in the paint. In case of sudden rainstorms, she uses fast-drying paint and keeps a weather eye on the forecast. If clouds begin to look like rain, she said, she leaves and comes back when it is dry. In more sensitive pieces of art, such as the painted pianos downtown, employees will cover them with tarps in the rain to stop damage to the pianos from occurring or paint underneath a standing tent. One artist, Drake Arnold, is painting a piano downtown. His work is abstract, titled “Music as a Portal,” symbolic of using music as a portal to a deeper space. see ART on page 15 >>

Several Roads will be closed this Saturday as Fort Collins welcomes back Tour de Fat in an annual celebration of bikes and beer. The event begins at 9 a.m. in Old Town and ends in Civic Center Park. Beginning 8 a.m. Friday, Howes street, La Porte Street and Maple Street will be closed, in addition to the perimeter streets of Civic Center Washington Park due to the event. From 5 a.m. to early afternoon Saturday, Mabel, Cherry and Howes Streets will be closed down to Mountain Avenue. Mason Street to Meldrum Street will also be closed. The core area of the event will be closed until Saturday at midnight. The route along the bike parade will be blocked off during the parade, with police officers stopping traffic in that area and re-opening it after the parade passes. The City of Fort Collins urged all bikers to avoid riding to the event on the MAX Bus pathway, and asked participants to use the bike lanes on nearby streets instead. In previous years, participants riding their bikes through to the MAX route has prevented the bus system from getting through, according to City of Fort Collins Special Events Manager Jan Sawyer. Within the past few years, complaints have increased regarding public drunkenness and its affects, including urinating and vomiting on lawns, people passed out and noise concerns. “The idea is to have a great time: safe and sane,” Sawyer said “Drink responsibly and have a great time.” see TOUR DE FAT on page 6 >>

CSU researcher examines the lives of African forest elephants By Nataleah Small @nataleahjoy
African forest elephants are the largest land mammals on earth, are highly intelligent and have close family ties. But until a few years ago, few specifics were known about elephant social structures, reproduction rates and the effects of poaching across Africa. Now, new research by a professor at Colorado State University, in conjunction with his colleague abroad, has shed light upon the intimate lives of one of the planet’s largest creatures. George Wittemeyer, an associate professor in Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Biology, and Wildlife Conservation Society scientist Andrea Turkelo collaborated on a paper that found that forest elephants need a century to recover from poaching due to slow reproduction rates. After researching forest elephants from 1990 to 2013, Turkelo learned that elephants have long reproductive cycles and close matriarchal communities, according to a press release from “Save the Elephants.” As a result, this population has significantly decreased in recent years due to the increased poaching of young and old female elephants. “There has been a lot of killing and reduction in populations,” Wittemyer said. “It is going to be difficult for populations to recover, and it is going to take a long time.”
According to the press release, elephants only give birth once every five to six years, and it can take over twenty years before an elephant begins to reproduce. Therefore, when poachers kill elephants for their ivory tusks and teeth, this creates an enormous hole in the elephant community. Because of their slow reproduction rates, it can take decades to reestablish elephant populations. “You have an animal that is as large as an elephant, and it can’t hide. It is something we need to be concerned with,” said Kenneth Wilson. Wilson is a professor and department head for the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Biology at CSU. Wittemeyer said the increase in elephant poaching has been on the rise as a result of globalization. As markets have expanded in recent years, the demand for ivory has had a significant, detrimental effect on the forest elephant population. “Wildlife products can be risky,” Wittemyer said. “They get out of control and can eradicate species.” However, the data Turkelo has collected over the past twenty-three years about elephant reproduction and poaching has also played a significant role in shaping conversations about policy decisions concerning elephants. Wittemyer said before much data was known about the spe-

cies, early policy conversations concerning forest elephant poaching asked the question, “How much killing can they (the elephants) sustain without being eradicated?” Now that the data is in, Wittemeyer said this newfound information can create a strong foundation for debates about poaching. Lobbyists can use this data to influence policymakers
to write legislation that will focus on conservation efforts to help sustain elephant populations. For members of the public who are concerned about this issue, Wittemyer said that it is important to pay attention to individual consumptive patterns, educate the public about the effects of poaching, and support field conservation efforts. “Human consumption is
key,” Wittemyer stated. “Be an educated consumer.” Wilson believes people need to take action to actively protect elephants. “We as humans have to take the information and use it,” Wilson said. “… As a researcher … all we can do is tell the story.” Nataleah Small can be reached at news@collegian.com

Tony Frank’s fall address highlights challenges of diversity, sexual violence By Julia Currier CSU President Dr. Tony Frank delivered the annual Fall Address on the Oval on Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. with a strong message of excellence and perseverance in the face of challenges. “This quest for excellence units us. It defines us. It inspires us. It is who Colorado State University is,” Frank said. Frank mentioned issues such as feeding the population, diversity, race, sexual violence, living wages and attainable housing. Frank said CSU is acting and seeking solutions to these problems, and that it would be easier to take on fewer challenges, without excusing inaction. “And we remember that we were not created to serve ourselves – we were created to serve others; to push ourselves, to stretch and strain – and then to do it again as often as we need,” Frank said. Frank spoke about the University’s fundamentals in academics and striving for excellence despite any trials. He spoke to CSU’s past legacy of achievement and potential that contin-
ues on to this day. This year’s freshmen class is the largest and most diverse in history with 1 in 4 being the first in their family to go to college, Frank said. 44 percent of CSU students are graduating without debt and 80 percent have jobs within six months of graduating, he said. Frank also mentioned School is Cool, a program that started 25 years ago to provide students in the community with school supplies and backpacks. The program just served their 4000th child, and CSU honored them by creating the Kathy Phifer School is Cool Legacy Scholarship. Frank continued by reading some quotes from President Lincoln about perseverance and facing challenges, and ended his speech by addressing student concerns. “I hope that you’re proud of your University, not satisfied,” Frank said. “Not thinking we do everything perfectly. But, proud of our direction, our effort (and) our action.” In attendance were many members of the University
leadership, academic leadership, Fort Collins City Council, students and community members. Also in attendance was the Fort Collins Mayor Wade Troxell and City Manager Darin Atteberry. “My main take away (from the speech) is that we all have challenges and that doesn’t mean we should ever give up or stop trying to face those challenges,” said Rachel Latta, an agricultural student at CSU. Latta said she enjoys that Tony Frank never fails to mention agriculture in his speeches. “I loved his quotes from Lincoln,” said Maddie Lasewizz, a freshman at CSU. She said the speech had an overall theme of serving others and pursuing excellence. The CSU Marching Band preformed just before the speech, and the ROTC presented the colors. The speech was followed by a university picnic where a CSU alumni band, The 14ers, played. Julia Currier can be reached at news@collegian.com

ASCSU members accuse New Era voter registration group of liberal bias By Gabriel Go @rgabrielgo
A resolution to adopt an agreement between New Era Colorado and the Associated Students of Colorado State University was sent to committee Thursday night, but was met with opposition from members of senate and members of the gallery. New Era Colorado is a nonprofit and non-partisan voter registration group, and the resolution would allow ASCSU to work with the group to register students to vote. But some members of the ASCSU senate and members of the gallery accused the group of violated their tax exempt status by showing a partisanship to-
wards the Democratic Party. “I was approached by a member of New Era a couple of days ago, and when asked if I was registered to vote, I said ‘I was,’ and immediately afterwards I was campaign material for the Hillary Clinton campaign,” said Joel Crank, member of College Republicans at CSU. Crank said that the individual was wearing a New Era button. New Era Organizing Director Molly Fitzpatrick denied the allegations, saying that the button was most likely taken from their (New Era) tables during their registration drives. “We get trained by the (Colorado) Secretary of State every
single year to do voter registration. Part of our legal status is that we never ever tell anyone how to register or vote,” New Era Organizer Taylor Smith said. Senator Juan Caro also said New Era has received over $300,000 in donations in exchange for campaigning in favor of liberal policies. The Collegian has yet to verify these sources. The Officer of Governmental Affairs Josh Williams said the goal of the resolution is to register and educate voters, as well as to encourage them to participate in the election process. Resolution 4603 is a non-binding agreement between New Era Colorado and
ASCSU, which stipulates that New Era Colorado will increase voter registration by providing a consistent base of volunteers, interns and staff to register students at all events. In addition, New Era would process all voter registration forms, including students registered that day and handle the forms to the appropriate county clerks. New Era Colorado will also train all ASCSU members in voter registration. Likewise, ASCSU will provide weekly updates to New Era scheduling, volunteers and other related events. The agreement between ASCSU and New Era is not a contract. ASCSU and New Era reserve the right to pull out
of the agreement at any time should either party feel that issues are being advocated other than voter registration and education. ASCSU may also work with any other voter registration group that they see fit. New Era is also prohibited from using ASCSU’s resources or offices other than for meetings with members of ASCSU. The resolution has yet to undergo a second reading and has been sent to committee. The committee meeting for Resolution 4603 is open to the public, but date and location have yet to be announced.

Paul Gruber, Fort Collins native and operations manager for Tour de Fat, described the event as “One of the best holidays Fort Collins has gained.” However, Gruber warned that they get more complaints every year, and for participants to “save the party, for the party.” Saturday will feature a costume contest and a “Slow Ride” competition; where the main goal is to be the last one to finish the race. “(The Slow Ride) is a fun competition for people to get involved in,” Gruber said. The event will feature special guests Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds, Ben Sollee as well as local and regional bands like ATOMGA, Write Minded, Brent Cowles and The Delta Spirits for
music and more entertainment on the main stage and the Fat Tire and Friends Stage. Awards will be given in categories such as best costume and best dancer throughout the day, as well as a gameshow to win a New Belgium Bike. “The crowd there gets pretty rowdy, it’s cool to see,” Gruber said in reference to the participant’s costumes. Beer will be sold at the event and New Belgium will feature a new brew, Carnie Blood. Tour de Fat also has a “Kid’s Area 51” area as well as the STAGE stage that will feature circus like performers to bring children to. “The vibe is always super fun,” Gruber said. “Whether you are just watching or you are participating.” For more information including a schedule and a map, visit the Tour de Fat website here.

Aggie Village, the new university apartment housing complex, has about 571 parking spaces available for the 883 students who live there. Some students have reported concerns over parking permit pricing and parking lot distance to the Aggie Village complex, while others have reported not having any immediate concerns. Of the 883 student residents, only about 424 students currently hold permits, and students reported both satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the lots. Students discussed concerns over spot availability and permit pricing. ”There isn’t enough (parking), and I paid a little too much for how far away it is,” said Austin Bott, a junior studying natural resource management. Doug Mayhew of Parking and Transportation Services said parking permits are sold on a one-for-one basis, and there is no oversell. For the 883 students living at the on-campus apartments, there are three places to park. The closest and most expensive is $475 per academic year and is located in front of the complex’s Lodgepole building. It offers parking spaces for 196 students, all of which have been purchased. However, nine spaces are currently unavailable until
the Whitcomb Street Gateway project is finished in two weeks, wrote Richard Pott, facility planner and project coordinator for Housing and Dining Services. The lot also includes four state and service vehicle spaces and four Zipcar spaces. The second option is located across Prospect Road near the Aggie Village Family complex. The lots have 175 spaces and the permits cost $300, all of which have been purchased. The third option is remote parking at the south lot on Research Boulevard, located near the CSU tennis courts. The lot has 200 spaces and permits cost $150. Only 82 of the permits have been purchased for the lot, so 118 remain. For Aggie Village students, the south lot is a little less than a mile walk. Students who park here can utilize the Around the Horn Shuttle, which runs Monday through Saturday from approximately 7 a.m to 6:40 p.m. “Prior to opening, we sent all Aggie residents two separate emails that outlined both alternative transportation and parking options so residents could make informed decisions,” wrote Pott. “Our Aggie Village Eco Leaders are currently doing a Green Greeting with all residents to emphasize sustainability and the benefits of alternative transportation.” For sophomore business major Amanda Waters, who holds a permit to the closest
lot, parking at Aggie Village hasn’t been quite as convenient as previous experiences. “Last year was just super easy since there were parking lots right next to the dorms, at least for the south side of campus,” Waters said. “You could basically park anywhere and still be able to get to your dorm room or wherever you needed to go in a pretty prompt manner. You only have to walk a short distance. In comparison to Aggie Village, it just depends on which building you are (in) and where you are in that building.” For other students, parking has not been a problem. Various students expressed that parking could be better, but it is not as bad as some students claim it to be. “It’s no trouble for me to get a spot,” said Nolan Brumbach, sophomore business marketing major. Christian Quah said he has not had any problems with the parking situation so far, and that parking “isn’t too bad.” However, Junior Allison Spontarelli has faced multiple difficulties with her parking pass for the lot located near the Aggie Family complex. Besides the lot being a inconvenient distance for her, Spontarelli said she felt out of place parking there. “It’s a very family-oriented apartment complex, and so you feel kind of awkward, like you’re in their way,” Spontarelli said. see PARKING on page 22 >>

The greatest Rocky Mountain Showdowns in history: No. 2 By Justin Michael @JustinTMichael
On Sept. 4, 1999, the Rocky Mountain Showdown should have been remembered as one of the proudest moments in Colorado State history. CSU had not defeated the University of Colorado: Boulder since 1986 and coming into the game ranked No. 14 in the nation, CU was prepared to once again reign supreme in the state of Colorado. On this evening, however, it was Colorado State who would dominate the contest in every way possible. The Rams would throttle the Buffs 41-14, forcing six turnovers and recording nine sacks on the day. Unfortunately the phenomenal defensive performance was overshadowed by the events that occurred following the contest. As the game concluded, CSU fans, thrilled with the convincing victory over their in-state foe, began to storm the field. Any college athletics fan knows that storming the field is a longstanding tradition in rivalry games and upsets. What is usually an exciting moment between a victorious team and
their fans, turned into a terrifying event when police turned the game away from touchdowns and moved towards tear gas. As tear gas filled the field, cheerleaders and band members fled, leaving their equipment behind in the chaos. In an interview with the Collegian in 1999, band member Andy Burroughs described the scene, which was a lot closer to a war zone than a college football game. “I was just running,” Burroughs said. “There were CSU and CU people collapsed everywhere. I grabbed a tuba player who had fallen down; he was totally in shock. I pulled him up with me. I just wanted to get everyone out of there.” Long before the riot occurred, Colorado State truly dominated Colorado in every facet of the game. Six minutes into the contest, CSU linebacker Rick Crowell intercepted CU quarterback Mike Moschetti’s pass attempt and returned the ball 54 yards for a touchdown. Later in the first quarter, senior running back Kevin McDougal rushed for 59 of his 190
yards on the day, with a long touchdown run to put the Rams up 14-0. In the second quarter, the Rams continued to move the ball through the big play. Wide receiver Frank Rice took a screen pass 67 yards to the end zone. By the third quarter, the route was on with CSU leading 35-0. The lead got as large as 42-0, before the Buffs finally managed to score a pair of late touchdowns, but the game was never in question. After nearly 15 straight years of frustration and disappointment, Sonny Lubick and the Rams had finally defeated their instate rival. Following the game, Lubick and the players expressed how much the victory over Colorado truly meant to them. “They were ready to get rid of me, if we didn’t win tonight,” a relieved Lubick joked. Colorado State’s all-time leader in sacks and 13-year NFL veteran Clark Haggans said that the victory over the Buffs felt like “getting out of prison”. “All week long I had this fear
Colorado State soccer looking to build off latest win By Colton Strickler @coltonstrickler
After back-to-back weekends in which the Colorado State women’s soccer team went 1-1, the Rams will head to the Midwest this weekend to begin the second half of their non-conference schedule. The Rams (2-2-0) bounced back on Sunday with a 2-1 over SIU-Edwardsville following a 1-0 loss to University of Northern Colorado on Friday. Despite going down 1-0 early in Sunday’s match, the Rams answered with a goal of their own just two minutes after falling behind and netted another one late in the second half to win the game. If there’s one thing that the Rams aren’t short of it is effort, and head coach Bill Hempen knows that that’s what his team brings to the table. “I think one of the things that’s been consistent with our program since we started has been the effort of our kids,” Hempen said. “To come back and get the result for the effort, it was a good step for us.” The Rams will look to build off of their latest win when they
head to Iowa for a Friday matchup with the Hawkeyes. This will be the second time the Rams and the Hawkeyes have met, with Iowa winning the 2014 matchup 4-0. “We’re excited to challenge ourselves against a Big Ten school,” Hempen said. Colorado State will then head to Illinois to take on No. 25 Northwestern (3-0-0) for a Sunday afternoon match. Like Iowa, this will also be the second time that the Rams and the Wildcats will face off. Their 2015 matchup resulted in a 2-1 loss for the Rams despite taking a 1-0 lead with 30 minutes to play. Northwestern will be the first nationally ranked opponent that the Rams have faced this season, but according to Hempen that hasn’t changed the way they’ve approached this game in comparison to any other game. “I don’t know that our kids would know what that even meant,” Hempen said. “We’ve gone pretty much to-to-toe with everyone so this should be no different. With the way the game is, if it bounces our way that’d be great and it very well could.” As far as the strategy goes,
the Rams will look to continue to improve on making the most of their opportunities when they present themselves. “We’re getting better and better at getting into the offensive third of the field,” Hempen said. “It’s that finishing moment that has to get better.” All three goalkeepers on the Rams roster have seen time this season, but following two solid performances against UNC and SIU-Edwardsville, it looks like it’s freshman Natalie Dierickx’s job to lose. While the primary responsibility of a goalkeeper is to keep the ball out of the net, it’s Dierickx’s ability to help out the offense that is catching Hempen’s eye. “If you’ve watched the three goalkeepers play there is something distinctly different about her and it’s her ability to deliver a pretty good advantage when we get the ball in the offensive third as quickly as possible,” Hempen said. “She can hit a ball as well as anybody I’ve had as a goal keeper before so we’re going to use that to our advantage.” Collegian Assistant Sports Editor Colton Strickler can be

of losing,” Haggans said. “I just freaked out. I just couldn’t picture it. I don’t know what I would have done. I probably would have dug myself a 30-foot hole on the 50-yard line.” The Rams would go on to defeat the Buffaloes in two of the next three years, starting the most successful run against Colorado in school history. 1999 was a turning-point year for the Colorado State football program, finally defeating Colo-
rado, a program that won a National Championship nine years before and were a perennial member of the top-25. Although the game was overshadowed from the events that occurred on the field after the game, there is no doubt that this win was one of the most important in program history.

CSU, CU opposites going into Showdown By Eric Wolf @Eric_Wolf5
The Friday night matchup between Colorado State and the University of Colorado posts a team focused on building experience with one that already has plenty of it. CU comes into the game with a school-record 412 starts across their roster and returns 17 starters, 21 of whom are seniors and juniors, while CSU returns just six starters on offense and three on defense. Mike Bobo has yet to name a starting quarterback, but the likely candidate is incumbent starter Nick Stevens. Stevens was named the second team All-Mountain West quarterback in 2015 when he threw for 2,679 yards and 21 touchdowns with nine interceptions, two of which came in last year’s showdown. Of Stevens’ 211 completions a year ago, only seven of them went to CSU’s current starting wide receivers in Sammie Long, Marcus Wilson, and Olabisi Johnson. It is an inexperienced group, and they may have their hands full with a CU secondary that finished second in the Pac12 in passing defense last season.
The buffaloes return starters at every position in the secondary, including potential All-Pac 12 performers in safety Tedric Thompson and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie. The two players combined for 170 tackles and five interceptions a season ago. CU’s linebacker corp returns fully intact. On the outside, Derek McCartney and Jimmie Gilbert combined for 11 sacks a year ago. Kenneth Olugbode, Rick Gamboa and Addison Gillam should all see plenty of playing time at the inside linebacker positions. Gillam (2013), Olugbode (2014) and Gamboa (2015), all led the team in tackles in each of the last three seasons, respectively. Josh Tupou returns from a yearlong hiatus and figures to anchor the Buffs defensive line, joined by returning starter Jordan Carrell and senior Samson Kafovalu. In what should be the strength of the Rams offense, four out of the five starting offensive lineman are back up front for the Rams. They are paving the way for returning see CSU vs. CU on page 5 >>

CSU volleyball takes on first test away from Colorado By Michael Roley @michael_roley
For the first time this season the No. 25 CSU volleyball team will take their show out of the state of Colorado this weekend. The Rams will be in Santa Barbara, Calif., over the weekend to play in a tournament on the campus of UC Santa Barbara. They will play three matches over a two-day period. CSU kicks off the weekend Friday morning against Baylor followed by a Saturday double-header against Pittsburgh and UC Santa Barbara. CSU (3-0) is perfect in its first three matches and have won 9 of a possible 10 sets, the only defeat coming in the second set on Tuesday night at UNC. The Rams other two wins were both 3-0 sweeps of North Dakota State and St. Mary’s last Friday and Saturday. It’s a young team without a doubt. In the opening match of the season against North Dakota State the Rams had four freshman in their starting lineup. Coming into the season, CSU had seven players in its first year
with the program. Many of the questions about the team’s youth have been answered clearly in the first couple of matches. Freshman outside hitter Olivia Nicholson has had a stellar beginning to her career. Nicholson has reached double-figures in kills and digs in each of her past two games while also sporting hitting percentages of .562, .476, and .370 in her first three collegiate games. Fellow freshman Katie Oleksak has been huge for the six-time defending conference champions as well. Oleskak has posted double-doubles in her first three matches, eclipsing the double-digit mark in assists and digs in all three matches while also posting five blocks in Saturday’s sweep of St. Mary’s. The lone senior on the squad, libero Cassidy Denny has been a rock along the back row defensively. Denny had 25 digs two nights ago against UNC in what head coach Tom Hilbert called “One of the best matches I think I have seen her play.” Up front the Rams have put up quite the wall defensively,
with 13 total team blocks the past two games against UNC and St. Mary’s, led by the twin tower combination of junior Alexandra Poletto who had eight block assists against St. Mary’s and redshirt freshman Kirstie Hillyer who had three solo blocks and seven block assists against UNC. CSU may face its toughest tests of the young season so far this weekend, however. First off is Baylor on Friday. The Bears, a member of the Big-12 conference were picked to finish eighth in the nine-team conference in the preseason coaches poll. The Bears had one player, sophomore middle hitter Shelly Fanning named to preseason AllBig12 team. Last year CSU swept Baylor 3-0 in their season opening match at Moby Arena. Next up on Saturday is the Pittsburgh Panthers. Pitt comes into the weekend at 2-1 and is coming off a 23-9 season a year ago in which they were on the cusp of an NCAA tournament berth. The Panthers return five starters from last year but are also in the process

of replacing All-American players Amanda Orchard and Kadi Kullerkann. Pitt finished sixth in the ACC last season. Closing out the weekend for the Rams is a late Saturday afternoon matchup against the hosts. UC Santa Barbara has started the year 2-1, with their lone loss being a sweep to Mountain West member UNLV.
CSU’s first game will be at 11am MT against Baylor. On Saturday the Rams will play Pitt at 11 am MT followed by the match against UC Santa Barbara at 5:30 pm MT. All games will be on the campus of UC Santa Barbara. Sports Reporter Michael Roley can be reached at sports@collegian.com

Alternative ways to throw shade at the Showdown By Miranda Moses @mirandasrad
With The Rocky Mountain Showdown quickly approaching, CSU pride is progressively becoming infectious across campus, which is causing students to become aggressively pumped about the CSU vs. CU rivalry. With tensions running high at the game, students from both schools will not be shy about tossing around a few insults. While the usual go to is the “F*CK CU” chant, here is an alternative list of insults to throw in a buff ’s way written by a girl with the mind of an eight year old: 1. “The Buff” If anyone decides to come at you sideways during the game saying something about how Rams are weak, simply say, “Yeah? Well at least we actually are buff!” This insult works best if you flex your muscles or pretend to drop an invisible microphone. 2. “Cut It” For some reason, a lot of Boulder kids are convinced that
It’s always good to remind the Buffs that South Park is on our side. the only reason CSU students go to CSU is because they didn’t get in to CU. In reality, a lot of CSU students were accepted to CU. They just decided not to go there, or a lot of the times couldn’t afford to go because CU is notorious for not giving out financial aid. If a buff tries to diss you this way, simply start singing O.T. Genasis’s “Cut It” and replace the word “price” with “tuition.” If you dance too, not only will this confuse the buff, but they will also become stunned upon
being reminded just how much student debt they inevitably will be in. 3. “We Got In.” This is the another good response to a buff ’s accusation that CSU students couldn’t get in to CU. If someone tries to throw that kind of shade, reply, “I did get in, I just knew CSU was better. I’m surprised you got in though, because Rams actually know more numbers than four and 20.” 4. “Sko?” No one can ever explain to me where this word came from or why it’s used. Every time someone yells this, you can always remind them that it is not a word and sounds dumb, or you can loudly announce to the person next to you, “Wow! You would think that with all the money their paying to go to school they would know how to spell the word go correctly.” 5. “South Park.” It’s always good to remind the buffs that South Park is on our side. There is literally an episode where the characters
CSU students cheer on the Rams at last year’s Rocky Mountain Showdown. PHOTO BY ABBIE PARR COLLEGIAN
use the term “dirty hippies” and feature a car with a CU bumper sticker on it. 6. “Deceased Cam.” Last year, on the day of The Rocky Mountain Showdown, our beloved Cam the Ram (R.I.P.) died tragically of natural causes. Buffs held up offensive signs during the game poking fun at this loss, and it is likely they will stoop to this level again. If a Boulder hippy tries to refer back to this, look them straight in the eye and say, “Cam may have died for our sins, but Ralphies have died for our burgers.” Then mime yourself taking a giant bite out of a buff burger while maintaining eye contact. 7. “My G.P.A.” This is another diss that you can use if a Boulder hippy decides to question CSU students’ education and intellect. If a CSU student starts up this kind of conversation, remind them, “At least my G.P.A. is as high as you are.” Feel free to drop another invisible imaginary microphone, and maybe have a bunch of your friends jump around and scream
“OOOOH” behind you. 8. “We Got Emojis.” If you happen to be friends with a CU student and have their phone number, instead of sending them nasty words, just spam them by sending a bunch of ram emojis (there’s two to choose from) and remind them that there is not a buffalo emoji to retaliate with. Better yet, make them apart of a group chat with a bunch of your most persistent CSU friends and send them emoji after emoji after emoji. 9. “Just Look at Us.” For some reason, CU buffs tend to run out of ideas for disses and start making things up. A common thing shouted during game day is that the girls that attend CSU are not attractive, which is just silly. If a CU student gives up and uses this approach, if you are a CSU lady, simply point at your face. This alone will prove them wrong and make them feel dumb for even suggesting that that would be true. Miranda Moses can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com

>> ART from page 1 Arnold is from Florida initially but works as a professional artist in Fort Collins. “I’ve been admiring the pianos ever since I moved to town,” he said. He saw the pianos around town for a while and eventually decided to submit an application. The pianos that are decorated are all donated to the program. “Every piano has its own story,” Martin said. A new piano is put out every two weeks. Arnold’s piano will be done in a few days. Until then, he can be seen painting in Old Town Square. This is part of the program – doing the art in public, rather than delivering a finished product – in order to encourage public interaction with the artwork.
“Art is integrated into our spaces, and it’s ongoing. We’re constantly adding to it in ways that fit the space,” JILL KREUTZER CHAIR OF THE BOARD FOR ART IN PUBLIC PLACES
“Fort Collins has artists painting in public,” Martin said. “We brought that idea of art in action.” By painting a transformer outdoors, Dickson had the unique opportunity to get to know the homeless population in that area. “They were very polite with me,” Dickson said. “It gave me a new perspective on that whole population.” Art in Public Places goes beyond painted transformers and pianos; it also includes drain covers, pavers made by children, bridges, sculptures, stonework, bicycle racks and more. To anyone new to the city, Kreutzer advised taking the time to really look, saying you might find art in unexpected places.
“It’s easy to take it for granted,” she said. “Anyone who takes the time to really look will see it.” One of her favorite pieces of art is called “Upcycle” and features a tornado made out of recycled bicycles. A similar theme will be used on the new recycling center as the art will primarily feature recycled materials. “Art is integrated into our spaces, and it’s ongoing. We’re constantly adding to it in ways that fit the space,” she said. One major project emphasizing this principle is the upcoming Utility Administration Building. Andy Dufford, an artist from Chevo Studios, is working with the engineers and development teams to design the front exterior of the building. Dufford created a stone column that will be near the front door, which shows a section of the Poudre River. Other artists will contribute stained glass windows, all of which will be show a design related to energy to fit the building. There are 165 pieces of art not including the power boxes and the pianos, Kreutzer said. “You can enjoy art in your everyday life,” she said. She described a bronze sculpture near Dairy Queen showing heroic behavior from locals during a massive flood that occurred in the 90s – a work of art constructed by her brother. Nearby, a watermark shows how high the water rose, showing two different styles of art covering the same topic. For students, she suggests looking around campus for pieces of art and, of course, decorated pianos and power boxes. She also recommended students take a closer look at the MAX stations. “Each MAX station depicts something in the area in which it is located,” she said. This includes murals and cast concrete. The funding for the project comes from a city ordinance designating 1 percent of project budgets to the art budget. There are 13 artists working there now, and they can still be seen outside while the weather remains good. Once winter comes, the artists will move indoors. “Our art is unique in Fort Collins, and that makes us unique,” Kreutzer said. Michelle Fredrickson can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com

Inside Look: Being a female, working with the CSU football By Taylor Felver With the Rocky Mountain Showdown, the most popular game of the year coming up, people cannot wait to show their support for the CSU football team. But, behind every great team stands a devoted staff of coaches, athletic trainers and equipment managers that set the team up for success. In a male-dominated field, female student trainers and equipment managers often goes unnoticed. With fewer than twenty female CSU student employees, their positions provide many opportunities to succeed, and one female proves that football is not just for guys. Kayla Tabone is only one of the females who work for the team, but she is the only female equipment manager. Although multiple people do work as equipment managers for career experience alone, Tabone said her love of the sport is what mainly inspired her to pursue a
job with the football team. “I love football, and doing this job feels like participating in the sport itself,” Tabone said. “Being involved and at the games feels like an accomplishment.” Tabone’s job includes setting up equipment and ensuring that the athletes are ready for practices and games, which can be extremely fast paced and stressful under high amounts of pressure. Tabone said this is especially evident in preparing for The Rocky Mountain Showdown this Friday. “I just stay positive and set goals,” Tabone said. Tabone said that her work with the CSU football team has made her even more passionate about football. “When you set up equipment and are organizing and providing them with their jerseys before practice or a game, you know they are worn with pride, and each jersey represents a person you are putting on the field,” Tabone said.
Tabone said of the benefits to being a part of the team is experiencing the Ram spirit and pride. “Seeing the pride others have and seeing the passion that the football players have motivates everyone to work that much harder,” Tabone said. “So when the team scores or wins a game it is a great feeling to know that everyone’s hard work payed off.” As one of the only female CSU students who works with the football team, and as the only female equipment manager, Tabone said her unique position offers her many learning experiences. “I believe me being on the team as the only woman helps me to break through humbling experiences to create a better prepared self for my other ventures,” Tabone said. “It is worth it in every way because women or not, this job takes some tough skin.” Kayla Tabone, one of the equipment managers for the CSU football Team, Taylor Felver can be reached hopes to pursue a career in sports after graduation.

Manifest Destiny rears its ugly head in France under the burkini ban Erik Petrovich @EAPetrovich
Around 200 years ago, the United States of the time decided that God himself, in his infinite wisdom and kindness, had granted their nation in the east the divine right to explore and expand into the greatest frontier ever known to man - the untamed wildernesses of the west. They were expansionists, whose goal was to achieve their Manifest Destiny, the strong belief of the time that it was the inherent right of the westerners to gather as much land as possible from the savages and annex it. The reasons for this were multiple: uncontested access to bountiful resources, excess space to live and dreams of unknown riches lead to this cultural desire to expand. But there is one reason that acts as the root cause for the expansion, the belief that ‘This land is my land, this land isn’t your land. I’ve got a shotgun and you don’t got one.’
This concept of Manifest Destiny has changed in the modern era, but the root meaning is still ever present. Whereas in the past the concept applied almost exclusively to land, Manifest Destiny is back and sexier than ever with something new to destroy: other cultures. While the term came from the U.S., it applies to all countries that view themselves as “western,” and in recent weeks, France. France enacted a ban on the Burkini months ago, and the ban was just recently repealed by the French courts. One of the reasons given for the ban was because of fears of Radical Islam and a perceived terrorist threat to society. In fact, the burkini ban happened because France and the west didn’t want to see Muslims in normal society worshiping as they normally would because it didn’t fit in with their pre-and-illconceived notion of the normal. Can a black wetsuit with a head covering kill somebody? No. Is a woman wearing that black wetsuit a threat to national security? No. Do some of the French hate knowing that Muslims live among them? Definitely, and more than that, the particularly loud anti-Islamists hate being reminded
of it. The burkini was a physical representation of the thing they despise most - a culture they do not identify with or understand - each time they saw a headscarf, the word “terrorist” came to mind, instead of “person.” They did this because it was their inherent right, because they were right and the Muslims were wrong, because they feel the need to be the loudest voice in the room dictating the norms. By banning the burkini in such a public fashion, the French have said to the Muslim community that France, as a nation, does not recognize the choice of a woman to follow the Islamic Faith as she so wishes to worship. The French have said to that community, through their government, ‘you must change the way you act because I do not like the way that you do it.’ And so the angel of Manifest Destiny rides back to the world, floating atop a wave of anti-Islam, anti-Syrian, anti-everything-different sentiment to the forefront of cultural thought in the west. Until we realize that western thought is fallible and often unjustly executed as a knee-jerk reaction to perceived threats to normality, unjust forces
will continue to suppress the thoughts, ideas, and cultures of those who they disagree with, just as the west did in centuries
we thought we had long passed. Erik Petrovich can be reached at letters@collegian.com

Stettner: Fracking must remain an important issue in Colorado Alexandra Stettner @alexstetts
If anyone was around here in Colorado over the summer– or any state that has ballot initiatives – you would have noticed the petitioners around town asking for your signature to support a policy so it can be made for all voters to decide on in the November election. One of the major issues that was put forward late this summer was Initiative 75 and 78 which were both issues involving fracking; the increasingly sensitive and rising topic, especially here in Colorado, that involves drilling for natural gas. Neither of these initiatives qualified for this coming election, but nonetheless fracking and other natural resource issues will be extremely important is-
sues over the next several years and in future elections. Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, has been developing heavily in Colorado over the last few years. As companies have been developing more sites, more research has looked into fracking and the dangers of pollution in the surrounding areas of the fracking sites. And while it supports the general economy, and Colorado’s in particular, many studies have shown consequences like water contamination, health issues with young children, radon emissions . The process also consumes a large amount of water, and has been found by the USGS to cause some earthquakes. In fact, many municipalities already have. Cities like our own Fort Collins, Longmont, and Greeley, have all attempted to either prohibit or ban fracking within their city limits. However, a Colorado Supreme Court ruling abolished these laws,

citing that cities did not have these rights. Initiative 78 specifically dealt with a city’s right to prevent fracking from entering the community. While the Court may have had their reasons for citing these policies unconstitutional, I would argue the present danger from fracking is significant enough to award a second look at these operations. Natural gas does awards many benefits compared to the current oil and coal funded energy system, there is certainly no doubt about that. It burns cleanly, combating the issue of greenhouse gases and emissions in our atmosphere. Additionally, there is a lot of natural gas here in the United States, which means a boost for the local economy and lowers the interest and need to import
oil. However, while these are seen as improvements from oil, there are several other alternatives that could meet all the same benefits that natural gas has. Renewable sources like solar, wind, nuclear, and countless others that are being explored and innovated at universities and other research institutes, all would build jobs locally and create an incredible amount of opportunity if they were to be more heavily implemented around the country. Not to mention, these renewable sources are just as clean, if not more, than natural gas. These renewable sources become important when discussing Colorado’s energy future. While fracking is becoming such a large presence here, it is see FRACKING on page 22 >>

>> CSU vs. CU from page 8 running backs Dalyn Dawkins and Izzy Matthews, and newcomer Marvin Kinsey Jr. The Rams averaged 156 yards a game on the ground last season, and though the CU defense should be improved in the second season under defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt, the Buffs finished 80th in the country against the run last season. Sefo Liufau comes back from a foot injury suffered late last season to lead the Buffs at quarterback. The senior has started 29 out of the last 32 games for the Buffs and his experience and development was something all of the CSU coaches stressed during Monday’s press conference.
Liufau is without All Pac-12 receiver Nelson Spruce, but the team returns veteran receivers in Devin Ross, Shay Fields and Bryce Bobo. Tight end Sean Irwin, who was an honorable mention all Pac-12 performer last year, is also back on offense. The Buffs sport two 1,000yard career rushers in juniors Phillip Lindsay and Michael Adkins. Adkins missed most of last season after injuring his hamstring in the Showdown, and Lindsay finished the season as the team’s leading rusher. CSU’s new look defense figures to be challenged early by the experienced offensive unit of CU. It’s a CSU defense with three new starters on the defensive
line in Josh Lovingood, Jakob Buys and Darnell Thompson, and three out of four new starters in the secondary. Jordon Vaden, Jake Schlager, Justin Sweet and returning starter Tyree Simmons are the players tasked with slowing down Liufau and the experienced receiving group. Marty English’s’ defense also needs to find a pass rush somewhere in order to rattle Liufau and disrupt the offensive timing. Four out of the team’s eight leading tacklers from a year ago in Kevin Davis, Josh Watson, Tre Thomas, and Kiel Robinson will all play big roles in the game at the linebacker position. They are the deepest and

>> PARKING from page 6 Spontarelli said that she is worried about her safety during the current construction of the Prospect Road underpass. “I don’t want to be near (the construction) because if something were to fall while I was trying to get back to the apartment, safety-wise that just doesn’t seem like a good idea to me to park over there (because of the need to walk past construction),” Spontarelli said. The construction zone is currently fenced off, and the sidewalk near the construction
is unavailable. During construction, pedestrians must use the sidewalk on the other side of the street. “Whenever they are done (with the underpass) I might feel more comfortable about (parking there), but until then I just don’t,” Spontarelli said. Safewalk is available to escort students to and from their cars, or anywhere they need to go on campus, as well as within a three block radius around campus starting at dusk.

>> FRACKING from page 20 important to keep in mind that this does not have to be our destiny. There are several other options that are far less damaging to the environment and those living in it, and can provide the same, if not more, opportunities for jobs, education, and research. We just have to open the door for these technologies to more widely available. Right now, that door is being blocked by major oil and gas companies who are spending absurd amounts of money to keep initiatives like these off ballots.
The visibility of other options is diminished when major companies have more resources to advertise their point of view than their smaller, grassroots opponents. Fracking may not be on the ballot this year, but considering the consequences, and the other benefits that could come from embracing more renewable resources, it is important that it remains paramount in our conversations on local politics, even without an election year.
