Saddam Qahtan Waheed, a doctoral candidate studying hydraulic engineering at Colorado State University, describes hearing news of the travel ban that has prevented him from continuing his degree in the U.S. as, “a bullet to the heart.” Waheed, a student from Baghdad, Iraq, is one of three CSU students who are trapped abroad due to President Donald Trump’s executive order last week that prevented green card and visa holders from entering the U.S. if they are coming from one of seven Muslim nations. Iraq is one of those countries.
“I honestly lost my control of my body - I was just crying,” Waheed said, remembering the day he found out the news that he could not return. “I was supposed to make my family happy, but they are sad now.” Waheed began studying at CSU in August 2014, after receiving a scholarship from the Iraqi government to study in the United States. He chose CSU because the hydrology engineering program is ranked as one of the best in the nation. “When I got admitted here I was so happy,” Waheed said. “… Now, I hope that I don’t lose (my visa). It was my dream to be a CSU alumnus, a Ph.D. degree in the hydrology program, especially with my well-known professor (Jorge A. Ramirez). I’m so proud
to be his student. I don’t want to lose that. I’m still fighting for it.” Waheed decided to return to Baghdad after a major surgery – last February, a random test of Waheed’s blood revealed that he needed to remove a tumor on his parathyroid that was causing him to have dangerously high levels of calcium in his bloodstream. When he came out of the anesthesia, he planned a trip back home to see his family after being away for two years. Waheed surprised his parents at the beginning of January with his visit. “I saw my house gate; I could not believe that this was real,” Waheed wrote in an email to the Collegian. “I knocked the door and my father opened it… and my mother as well. They both

A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Dear Reader, I wish to thank you for your support of the Rocky Mountain Collegian, starting with your decision to pick up this newspaper. We would not exist if it were not for you, our readers. Since we are a student-run publication funded in part by student fees, we want you to know that your impressions of us matter in our eyes. We exist to serve you as a student body. We have certainly not been perfect over the years. In October 2015, the Collegian editors at that time published a thoroughly misguided column about white privilege that alienated many readers. While covering a drag show on campus in 2012, phrasing in an article equated drag performers with strippers. There have been cases in which reporters have made sources who identify as minorities feel tokenized, or have made a source unwillingly a spokesperson for a campus office or student group. Inaccuracies have appeared in articles, each of which affects our credibility. We do not take mistakes lightly, and strive every day to churn out the best quality news possible for the campus and larger Fort Collins community. While we are known as many things, one descriptor that feels often overlooked is one that is
most core to our mission as a student group: we are a teaching organization. We aim to produce excellent content while simultaneously teaching our staff of students from all majors what it means to be a journalist. We hope to be a learning tool for our audience as well; media literacy is more important than ever in today’s rapid-fire news environment. But it is not lost on our organization that we are serving students at a time when trust in the media is at an all-time low; we are working hard to earn your trust as readers. Something else that is crucial in today’s news environment, especially for a hyper-local production like ours, is the knowledge among our own staff that we are members of the community that we serve. We will not survive as a news source if we alienate our audience, whether that be done through accidental insinuations, hurtful misnomers, or by overlooking events that are important to our readers. We cannot ask for your trust without earning it; we cannot ask for your confidence without setting up adequate channels for feedback and comment in case something goes awry. On a personal note: I chose to study journalism — and to dedicate my breaks from class, my nights and my weekends to this newspaper — because I believe in the freedom of information which is well-contextualized, analyzed, and told without bias or slant. I believe this very deeply. Even so, I

wonder (and fear) each time that I publish an article whether my own work contains unconscious slant. Those who have information that we may overlook can help us get the whole picture by reaching out. Therefore, while we make a concerted effort to clean up our act, we welcome involvement from our campus community. This could take the form of joining our staff, sending us a news tip, commenting on articles online, submitting letters to the editor, or even coming by our office, which is located in our little basement enclave in room 118 of the Lory Student Center (you are welcome to come by and say hello). Additionally, this semester we are starting a series of public meetings intended to give the campus community face-time with Collegian staff in order to hopefully foster better communication. The first will occur in the area just outside the Ramskeller on Thursday, Feb. 2, at 5:30 p.m., and anyone is welcome to attend.The way to cure all ills is through honesty and kindness. Thank you again for letting the Collegian be a part of your life.

CSU alumnus Kwon Atlas running for Fort Collins mayor By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98
Former Colorado State University student and Associated Students of Colorado State University senator, Kwon Atlas, is running for Fort Collins mayor. Atlas’s platform will be focused on affordable housing, homelessness, sustainability and transportation. Atlas hopes modifying U+2 will reduce homelessness in the Fort Collins community by providing more affordable housing. “(U+2) says that people can’t combine their earning potential to live in a good home,” Atlas said. “(They) have to be worried about being pushed out by the landlord ... and then have to live somewhere where there could be higher costs. (That) really affects younger people, low-income people and the elderly population, who would rather stay in a home than other types of living situations.” Atlas also said he is open to getting rid of the U+2 legislation. “I think ... if there’s a house with a certain amount of rooms, there should be able to have that many occupants,” Atlas said, “ ... or we could just get rid of that notion all together that we need to limit or control what people do between the homeowner, the landlord and the person

who wants to live there.” Atlas said he believes residents should be able to decide what they want to do with their residence, not the city. Atlas, as a previous ASCSU senator, wrote the legislation for the Diversity Bill, which he says was his primary focus while attending CSU since it took the longest to pass. Atlas began proposing the legislation in fall 2013 until it passed in March 2016. “I was invested in it because I really
believe it was the right way to go,” Atlas said. “When I was a senator, I was one of the only African American senators, one of the only ethnically diverse senators in the group at all.” In addition to working on the Diversity Bill, which allocated senator seats for under represented groups on campus, Atlas was president of the Undeclared Leadership Council and focused on environmental sustainability; He worked to bring blue recycling bins on campus and wrote a recommendation for the Around the Horn bus system. Atlas was impeached from his position as an ASCSU senator in November 2014 due to accusations of harassment
and intimidation. He ran for student body president in March 2015 with Clayton King as his running mate, but lost to Jason Sydoriak. Atlas said his experience at CSU prepared him to run for and handle the position as mayor. Atlas said his education in economics and business will help him understand the Fort Collins budget. He added that his extracurricular activities, such as ASCSU senator, taught him how to communicate with and disagree with others, and how to handle controversy and differing opinions. “Usually, if there is a true argument against whatever I would be able to do, it’s usually just a small modification, a small compromise you can make to still go forward with the idea that will be better,” Atlas said. Atlas believes debate will create better platforms and solutions to city issues. “If I can (change what I’m trying to do), I always choose to do that,” Atlas said. “If not, then I’m going to try to educate and still make sure that person feels valued. (I’m trying) to encourage compromise and be as adaptable as possible.” Atlas will run against incumbent mayor Wade Troxell and Elizabeth Hudetz for the municipal election on April 4.

Former CSU student runs for city council, hopes to engage community By Gabriel Go @rgabrielgo
It has been 10 years since Colorado State University alumnus Duane Hansen has worked in the popular hookah lounge, Algiers. Alternating from schooling and from one job to another, Hansen graduated from CSU last December with a degree in political science. Now, sitting at the smoke lounge that he once worked in and still frequents, Hansen is pursuing the city council seat held by incumbent Ross Cunniff, representing Fort Collins’s fifth representative district. Hansen’s campaign is built around six areas: housing, transportation, economy, veterans, government overreach, and engagement. Some of Hansen’s ideas regarding these areas include the construction of a complex with partnership between the city and local business that would be used to provide housing for the homeless while also providing workshops that would teach em-
ployable skills to the homeless. Hansen also aims to make reforms to the current U+2 ordinance, which he hopes would ease the financial burden of students and low-moderate income individuals in Fort Collins. Hansen says that while he was dabbling with the idea of campaigning for public office during the closing days of his education in CSU, it was during one of Councilman Cunniff ’s listening sessions that he decided to throw his chips in. “I didn’t even know who my representative was,” said Hansen as he exhaled a cloud of cantaloupe-scented smoke. “When I showed up (to Cunniff ’s listening sessions), I was going to try to be incognito… I had brought two issues to him. A lot of students that I (spoke) to while I was a student representative had felt that the city treats them as nothing more than an engine for revenue. I pointed to RP3 (Residential Parking Permit Program), U+2 and the Social Host Ordinance… they were adding up and extracting money
One killed, four injured in car collision due to heavy ice By Stuart Smith @notstuartsmith
A fatal crash occurred on U.S. Highway 287 near County Road 72 Wednesday night due to the treacherous conditions on the road, according to a report in the Coloradoan. The crash shut down both sides of Highway 287 at 5:39 p.m., about a half an hour after Fort Collins Police Services issued an accident alert. The alert was issued due to the amounts of ice that were accumulating across Northern Colorado Wednesday night. Along with the fatality, four
others were transported to the hospital from the site of the crash. Due to the icy conditions that were the cause of the crash, Poudre Fire Authority had difficulty getting to the site. According to the Coloradoan’s police scanner information, there were multiple incidents along Highway 287 and several along Interstate 25 near Wellington. The National Weather Service has put Fort Collins under a winter weather advisory through 9 a.m. Thursday morning. Stuart Smith can be reached at news@collegian.com.
Stabbing results in injuries, arrests Wednesday morning By Tony Villalobos May @TheTonyVM
Fort Collins Police responded to a stabbing at 1:31 a.m. Wednesday morning at the 3300 block of Dudley Way. Benny Martinez said he had offered to let Keaneu “Dustin” Depe and Depe’s girlfriend stay at his home on Feb. 1, when a fight occurred. During the fight, Depe stabbed Martinez. Martinez was later transported to the Medical Center of the Rockies, and Depe was trans-
ported to Poudre Valley Hospital for injuries during the incident. Immediately following their release from the hospitals, both were booked into the Larimer Country Jail. Depe was arrested for second degree assault and Martinez for possession of a weapon by a previous offender. Fort Collins Police Services are asking for anyone with information about this incident to contact them at 970-221-6868 Tony Villalobos May can be reached at news@collegian.com.
from the student population.” “The other issue I brought up, because I also represented veteran students and work in the veteran community, a lot of what I hear is a severe shortage of Section 8 housing in Fort Collins… When I brought these two points up to the councilman, his response was, ‘Thank you, next,’” Hansen said. “I’m campaigning to win.” Hansen has almost six years’ worth of experience in student government. When he was attending the Front Range Community College, Hansen was a liaison to a number of state legislative bodies, representing 163,000 community college students in Colorado. When he attended CSU, Hansen was the senator representing the Adult Learner and Veteran Services office. “One of my big platform planks is engagement… You haven’t heard Ross Cunniff doing a lot of outreach. There’s been a smattering of listening sessions and that’s about it,” Hansen said as he relayed his experiences throughout the six years he has

But, they did not know they would be waiting much longer than anticipated. A few weeks later, he said the precious moments with his family and his wife were ruined: he received news from the embassy that he was banned Friday, Jan. 27. His interview for a return visa was canceled. “My family supports me, and especially my wife, she’s with me,” he said. “Friday night was so hard for me – it was fucking hard.…I thought I would never be able to come back to the U.S.…I think if I come back and see the university, the campus, that would be a miracle.” Since he found out, Waheed said he has had trouble sleeping and focusing on his work. In his email, he wrote that he wished he had died instead of receiving the news. “I felt that all my work, studying and all efforts I did perusing my degree are in vain,” he wrote. “Since that day, all my days become like dark days.” He said that earning a Ph.D. from an American university is a dream of many around the world. Now, his dream is in jeopardy.

He will have two more months after the 90-day restriction to come back to the university, but he’s worried. “Nobody knows what’s going to happen after 90 days - if there will be more restrictions,” he said. “Nobody knows.” Waheed heard about the executive orders in the news a few days prior, but he said he did not think he would be part of the ban since he was a student and vetted by his government. While he believes the U.S. will reconsider his situation, he said each day feels like a year while he waits. “I have no idea if they realize (the impact the order is having) or not, but I think if they hear it, they will change the situation,” Waheed said. “…I’m an engineer. I don’t want to talk about political issues, but if they want to ban refugees and immigrants, it’s up to them. … I mean it’s your country. You want to do whatever you think is right, but students are something different.” He said he was grateful for the help he has received from his contacts at CSU, and that he appreciates the support. “I saw on Facebook that there was marching yesterday.

We believe in God. This is the time to tell the U.S. and President Trump that we are not violent and we are not terrorists. Our countries are affected by the terrorism.” Waheed says he is counting down the days until the ban is lifted, and while he still has a little hope, he’s worried that his wife may not be able to return with him. “I don’t want to come alone. …I want to bring her to the U.S. and let her see the beautiful country and the beautiful people there,” he said. “…People are great in the U.S., especially in Fort Collins.

Phishing email affects CSU accounts CAMPUS
By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98
Some CSU students have received emails to their student accounts from fake emails that appear to be from other CSU students. Kelsey Silver, a member of the ASCSU Department of Environmental affairs and senior human dimensions of natural resources major, received the email twice during her time at CSU. Silver said the email appears to come from a friend of the student and asks for photos of the receiver for a school project. “I got it twice in the past two years, and…I knew that it was fake (the second time) because it was the exact same email (as the first one),” said Silver, who received the first email as a sophomore. “The email was supposedly from one of my friends (and was sent from) a different email than her Rams account, but (the email) was (sent) to my Rams account.” Silver corresponded with the sender until she realized the email was fake. According to the email correspondence, the sender requested, “10 pictures that make it look like you are melting and one pic of just your clothes in a pile on the floor or a 30 second video where you pretend to melt and then have it end with just your clothes left on the floor,” for a video project. Silver did not
send any photos. Silver received a similar email from another CSU student requesting the same type of photos nearly a week ago. She reported the most recent incident to the Fort Collins Police Department because she knew this email was definitely fake since it was similar to the first. According to Silver, FCPD told her to change the password to her student account. “I got the exact same email a few days ago from (another) friend,” Silver said. “It was her first name last name 101 at hotmail.com. She was asking about the same thing, the same pictures, and I knew immediately that this was the same kind of email.” Email correspondence between Silver and the sender showed the email as the student’s first and last name 001 at yahoo. com. Silver said she immediately contacted her friend via text message to confirm or deny if she sent the email, her friend did not send the message. “(My friend) said, ‘No, all my friends have been telling me that they keep getting an email from me, but it’s not me,’” Silver said. “It sent to all of her Ram email friends, but from a different email that’s not hers, but (the email was) under her name.” Silver does not know why the sender of the email is targeting students or what the sender intends to do with the photos. Al-
though, she tried to research the activity online. Silver knows of other students who received a similar email and sent photos. According to Silver, none of the students who sent photos have received emails back from the sender. “My friend that I got the email from supposedly said, ‘I realize it’s a hacking...I sent the same thing to my other friend who sent me that email’ and she said right after she sent the email (with the photos), she didn’t (get) anything back,” Silver said. “This friend (who supposedly sent the email) didn’t know what she was talking about at all.” Silver said students who receive an email similar to her’s should be cautious about sending photos or meeting the sender in person.

ASCSU resolutions show solidarity with Standing Rock, students stranded abroad By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98
Following a lengthy discussion and debate, the senate of the Associated Students of Colorado State University passed a resolution to show solidarity with CSU students protesting at Standing Rock. The resolution promotes solidarity with CSU students protesting at Standing Rock following violence. Senator Isaiah Martin urged a “yes” vote from the senate because it would show that ASCSU supports all students on the CSU campus. “If we are going to positively say ... that we represent all students that means every single individual student,” Martin said. “In this resolution, it says that there are students out there
that are fighting for a better future. It is time for us to stop being afraid (and) for us to start actually meaning that we are there for all students no matter how small the number.” Early in the discussion and debate portion, Senators Isabel Brown and Lawrence Horowitz urged the senate to vote “no” because it would mean ASCSU would take a stance on a political issue. “It’s completely inappropriate for a student senate to be talking about the political merits of such a polarizing issue that doesn’t directly address most of the students on this campus,” Brown said. “This piece of legislation does not only discuss our support of the Native American cultures at hand, but it inherently (and) indirectly puts the ASCSU stamp of approval on a
very polarizing, political issue on our campus.” Horowitz believed that supporting the resolution would define the values ASCSU supports that may not correlate with all current students and prospective students. “This does take a political side regardless of which side you lean ... (and) sets a tone for students looking into this school as well as paying into this school,” Horowitz said. “Why are they paying for something if that’s not necessarily what they believe in? We shouldn’t be defining their beliefs for them if they’re fee-paying students.” Other senators in support of the resolution mentioned that not passing the resolution would insinuate that issues of minority students did not matter to the senate since they are
a small portion of CSU’s demographic. “We’re telling the Native American students that this doesn’t matter because this is a white majority campus,” Senator Robert Griffith said. “We’re making a valued judgement on minorities.” The senate passed the resolution 16-5-3. While the Standing Rock resolution appeared too political for some senators, the other resolution of the night regarding students stranded abroad due to President Donald Trump’s executive order passed unanimously. The senate chose to pass a resolution that showed support for the CSU students impacted by President Donald Trump’s travel restrictions. Edward Kendall, speaker pro
tempore and author of the resolution, said the resolution fully supports the safe return of the three students stranded abroad. “This does not make a statement on the national policy,” Kendall said. “It is simply a request for our three students who call Colorado State University home to be returned to that home.” In a statement to the Collegian, ASCSU encourages other CSU students and faculty to show their support for the three students stranded abroad by collecting letters and cards for the students. Interested students and faculty are asked to drop off a caring card or letter at the ASCSU Office Complex between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to give to the three students upon their return.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission plan to euthanize mountain lions STATE
By Austin Fleskes @MrPacMan80
On Dec. 14 last year, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission made a unanimous decision to pass a plan to euthanize predators, such as mountain lions, in an attempt to raise the mule deer population. After the release of the project, some members of Colorado State University, including professors from the department of conservation biology, feel this is not necessarily the right course of action. “We find it surprising that CPW’s own research clearly indicates that the most likely limiting factors for mule deer are food limitation, habitat loss and human-induced disturbance – not predators,” wrote CSU wildlife biologists Joel Berger, Kevin Crooks and Barry noon in a letter to the commissioners. The CPW has a long standing history with mule deer study and preservation. A history that, according to their website, dates back to the agency’s roots. According to the CPW, the plan that they have put forth aims to bring the mule deer population up from its current standing of 450,000 to 560,000
deer statewide. Their plan, titled “Piceance and Arkansas Predator Control Plans,” is posted on the CPW website, along with a few brief paragraphs about the organizations’s efforts with mule deer population in the past, as well as their outlook for the plan itself. In his presentation explaining the scope of the plan, assistant director of research, policy and planning Jeff Ver Steeg explained that the strategy calls to improve habitat, mitigate development impacts, reduce impacts of highways, reduce impacts of human recreation, regulate doe harvest and maintain strong population and disease monitoring programs The strategy directs the CPW to identify areas where predation may be limiting, and conduct research where uncertainty hinders management. The presentation also lays out the two proposals in general terms. The Piceance study is a three-year study in which two fawn birthing areas will be monitored. Along with this, predators will be removed in treatment units during the spring of each year, with 1 percent of lion population being targeted and 2 percent of bear
population. The Arkansas plan is a nine-year study that plans to do more work with lion population. During the first three years, the CPW will reduce lion population in treatment units and increase lion population in control units, letting populations recover during the middle three years, then at the end reversing the first three years of influence “At the end of the nine years, the total number of lions removed from the research area is likely to be the same as (or less than) would have been removed by hunting alone without the study,” explained the presentation. In their brief paragraph describing their aim of the project, the CPW explains that euthanizing predators is not necessarily the solution to the problem. “CPW is not suggesting that the removal of predators is the solution to increasing statewide deer numbers to 560,000. These two research projects are designed to evaluate the extent to which predation is limiting deer population size in the two specific study areas” says the CPW website. Berger, a professor and university chair of wildlife

conservation, wrote in an email to the Collegian that there are many factors that contribute to mule deer declines. Factors include poaching, habitat fragmentation and habitat loss, that should be looked at. “The answer is not black and white, the science of ecology is complicated,” wrote Berger in an email to the Collegian. Berger added that he is not the CPW and wanted to restrict his comment to scientific
evidence and not speculation. “When science is claimed to be a basis for decision making, the public as well as government decision-makers should have immutable confidence that the process or claims are not flawed,” Berger wrote. “In this case, the Wildlife Commissioners who are not scientists clearly have a difficult job but never ever should they be led astray.” Austin Fleskes can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Spease: The Women’s March was a feelgood get-together and nothing more Holly Spease @HollySpease
Editor’s Note: The views expressed in the following column are those of the writer only and do not necessarily represent the views of the Collegian or its editorial board. On Saturday, January 21st, the day after Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States, millions of people flooded the streets in the name of women’s rights. Political scientists estimate that of the 600 cities participating in this movement, 4.2 million people were in attendance, thus producing the largest demonstration in the United States’ history. These statistics are impressive, and a demonstration this large
deserves respect. Yet, after further research, I struggled to identify one cohesive mission statement. Every news source outlined different goals, from the expansion of Planned Parenthood to the take-down of Donald Trump’s “oppression.” There are multiple websites outlining various goals and guiding principles of the march in hundreds of different cities. In an attempt to understand the main goals of the movement, I went to womensmarch. com and found a six-page document entitled the “Guiding Vision and Definition of Principles” for the march on Washington. This is where I discovered eighteen paragraphs of “guiding principles”. The participants in this movement walk for: gender justice, racial justice, economic justice, human trafficking, police brutality, anti-military
grade weapons for officers, inequities within the criminal justice system, healthcare services, birth control, LGBTQIA Rights, the wage gap, Indigenous equality, Unions, for disabilities and Deaf women, making the constitution “truly equal”, immigrants and refugees, the environment and so much more. As I read through this exhaustive list, it became clear that the movement is not for women’s rights. It is a march for every liberal ideal under the sun, and most importantly it is anti-Trump propaganda meant to slight his presidency the day after his inauguration. Many people from the march would argue that the rally is so much bigger than Donald Trump and is a social movement. I find this hard to believe, seeing as how the march was held on President Trump’s first day in office. see SPEASE on page 21 >>

Stettner: The women’s march is important Alexandra Stettner @alexstetts
Editor’s Note: The views expressed in the following column are those of the writer only and do not necessarily represent the views of the Collegian or its editorial board. If there’s one thing I won’t forget from all the news and absurdity that came out of the 2016 election, it’s the video that was released of Donald Trump bragging about grabbing a woman by the pussy. I don’t care if you think it implies sexual assault or not (even though it does). More than anything, his statement shows a complete lack of respect for a woman’s dignity, her body and her mind. Women are more than pieces of pussy to be grabbed at on a millionaire’s whim. Some might argue
that these words don’t matter, but they do. Let’s not forget one in five women are sexually assaulted, women still make less than men (the numbers are even more staggering for women of color), fundamental health concerns for women are questioned and women still float around 25 percent of representation in government. Women are not equal. Sure we can vote, but what good does that do if we are reduced to our sexuality? When I try to have a professional conversation with a man, should I assume he’s only thinking about me naked? Words matter because they are a vocal representation of our societal values. That’s why I marched in January. Millions of women around the world marched for millions of reasons. This is why the march was fundamentally important; it was an expression of resistance to certain values expressed by our new government.
Not only was it resistance, but it followed all laws, was well organized, worked with the Denver police and respected all other ideas and identities. Furthermore, the march was peaceful--I can attest to that. I understand that was not the case in other marches around the country, but those were isolated incidents, and were not supported by the mass amount of participants and organizers. In the aftermath of the march, there were several criticisms. I saw many connections to Hillary Clinton, proposing why women at the march are hypocrites for supporting Clinton. Guess what? Not all of us voted for Clinton. I’d agree that Clinton had serious problems as a presidential candidate, but she was not the candidate of choice for millions of Democrat voters. I’m irritated to continue having to be connected to someone I didn’t support, all because see STETTNER on page 21 >>

Colorado State signs 26 athletes in 2017 class By Eric Wolf @Eric_Wolf5
For college football fans, the first Wednesday of February offers a respite in the long lull between the National Championship game and the opening of fall camps in August. Yes, National Signing Day is here, and the Colorado State Rams closed the 2017 recruiting season with 26 athletes now calling Fort Collins home. According to Scout.com, CSU pulled in the 64th ranked class in the country, ranked second in the Mountain West behind 59th ranked Boise State. On Scout, the Rams received commitments from 14 three-star athletes, the most in school history. CSU’s class includes athletes from 12 different states, a University of Tennessee transfer in Preston Williams and four juco players. “I thought we addressed a lot of needs and we were able to add depth to this football team,” coach Mike Bobo said during Wednesday’s signing day press conference. “(We got) a lot of quality young men that are not just outstanding football players, but outstanding people that we are looking forward to coach.” With the loss of starters Fred Zerblis and Nick Callender on the offensive line, and probable 2017 starters Trae Moxley, Zack Golditch and Jake Bennett set to be seniors, the Rams went hunting for offensive lineman in the 2017 recruiting class. In addition to three-star juco offensive tackles, Tyler Bjorklund and Benjamin Knox, who committed to the team in December, the Rams added two more tackles to the class on signing day. Joctavis Phillips, a 6-foot-5 275 pound two-star offensive tackle out of Neville High School in Monroe, Louisiana, and threestar 6-foot-6 312 pound John Blasco out of Stadium High School in Tacoma Washington, both made their pledges official. CSU rounded out a strong offensive line pull with the addi-

tion of three guards in three-star prospects Scott Brooks (6-foot-4 280 pounds) and Luis Lebron (6foot-5 355 pounds), and Kieran Firment, a two-star 6-foot-4 298 pound lineman out of Imperial, Pennsylvania. With the inexperience behind the three aforementioned seniors, and junior Colby Meeks, it is certainly possible that any one of the seven lineman could make an early impact. “We felt we needed to obviously improve the needs (on the offensive line) by the number, and we were able to get seven guys,” Bobo said. “Two of them (Bjorklund and Knox), who are juco guys, hopefully can provide depth immediately for us. And then, five high school guys that I wouldn’t rule anything out as far as being able to come in early and play. The number one thing you will see is the size. We have
gotten bigger with the size of our offensive lineman.” The Rams did lose some firepower to the offensive line class when longtime verbal commit, Sincere David, flipped to Ole Miss on Wednesday. David, a 6-foot-3 315 pound offensive tackle, was not the only target the Rams lost to Ole Miss on Wednesday, as four-star athlete Braylon Sanders out of Callaway High School in Hogansville, Georgia pledged to the Rebels over the Rams. “I would be lying if I said it doesn’t hurt,” Bobo said about losing commits last second. “But, at the end of the day, it’s their decision that they have to make. I always say we are going to sell Colorado State. We are going to sell what we have to offer, and I want guys who want to be here for the right reason.” After pulling in just two Col-
orado high school signees last year defensive lineman Toby McBride and tight end Isiah Pannunzio, the Rams signed three local products in the 2017 class. Two-star linebacker Corte Tapia out of Windsor High School joins CSU after a high school career in which he became the alltime sack leader in Colorado prep history. Alongside Tapia is a pair of three-star Mullen High School products, running back Marcus McElroy and safety Christian Cumber, who also made it official on Wednesday. “It is very, very important,” Bobo said about signing in-state players. “You start with your state first and you try to address your needs and improve your depth with your in-state guys. Corte Tapia right down the road, Marcus McElroy (and) Christian Cumber are three guys we have known about for a long time.”
On Wednesday, Bobo added that he counts linebacker Patrick Moody out of Vero Beach, Florida as a “Colorado kid,” bringing the in-state number to four in his mind. Moody spent his first two years of high school at Chaparral High in Parker, Colorado. The Rams may have played nine true freshman last season, but on Wednesday Bobo said that he thought that the team’s 2017 group was stronger initially than the 2016 class. Time can only tell, and the signees have a lot to live up to after what freshman like Collin Hill, Toby McBride, Arjay Jean and Jamal Hicks did during the 2016 campaign, but by all indications, including those of coach Bobo, the Rams are headed in the right direction into 2017.

Rams get revenge against Boise State for 8th consecutive win By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_
The CSU women’s basketball team avenged their lone conference blemish by defeating Boise State 60-53 on the road in Taco Bell Arena Wednesday night. Bench play was the key to success for the Rams (17-5, 9-1 MW) as Amanda Kantzy and Myanne Hamm combined for 21 points while going 8-of-13 from the field. Ellie Gustavsson and Callie Kaiser also reached double-digits, scoring 11 and 10 points, respectively. Though every starter scored, the Rams lacked the dominant offensive performance they have received as of late. With his team still hampered by injury, head coach Ryun Williams used a seven-player rotation for the entire game. The 28 minutes from Kantzy and Hamm were enough to make the difference.
“Myanne Hamm and Amanda Kantzy, just outstanding off the bench,” Williams said. “When we need those kids the most, they seem to always step up.” The Rams led by 12 at halftime and seemed poised to run away with the victory after a first half that featured San Antonio Spur-like ball movement and smothering defense. But Boise State’s fullcourt press caused issues out of the break, including a stretch where the Rams turned the ball over three times in a matter of minutes. With under seven minutes remaining in the game, the Broncos cut what was a 13-point lead down to one. As has been the case a multitude of times this year, the Rams relied on gritty defense to finish off their opponent. The Broncos would go on to score just seven points for the remainder of the game
as the nation’s fourthranked scoring defense certainly proved its mettle. “Everything seemed pretty darn contested,” Williams said. “Our kids were pretty locked into the plan all night. We did a good job on Brooke (Pahukoa), we did a really good job on (Marijk) Vanderchaaf.” The Broncos’ two leading scorers were held to 12 points in 61 combined minutes of action. Despite having opportunities to flip the momentum and climb ahead, CSU stayed true to its defensive approach. The Broncos shot an abysmal 4-of-27 (15 percent) from behind the three-point line, preventing them from mounting a late comeback. And when the Rams were pressed to get some baskets late in the game, they found a way to get it done. see REVENGE on page 22 >>

Rams finish regular season with win over UNC By Tyler Johnson @TylerGJohnson20
Donning pink caps in appreciation of honorary team member Abby Holbrook, the Colorado State women’s swim and dive team knocked off the University of Northern Colorado 183-159 Wednesday at the Moby Pool for their final dual meet of the 20162017 regular season. The pink-capped Rams honored Abby Holbrook in their final meet of the season. The young girl was honored for her brave battle against Transverse Myelitis and Chiari Malformation, an inflammatory condition of the spinal cord that can affect adults and children and result in severe paralysis and other complications. For seniors like Emily Williams it was their last time competing at CSU, and they did not waste the opportunity. In her last event as a Ram, Williams won the 1-meter diving event with a score of 252.98. Freshman Madi Guess finished 2nd (251.48) and sophomore Nicole Sisco finished 3rd (239.25). For Gianna Salanitro the meet took an unfamiliar path, as the junior found herself competing against her sister Brianna
Salanitro, a member of the UNC swimming team. Gianna got the best of her sister, finishing 2nd in the 500 Freestyle (5:19.67) with her younger sister finishing 3rd (5:21.83). “It’s the coolest thing ever, with us both being division-I athletes,” Salanitro said about swimming against her sister, “She has always been my biggest supporter and I would not trade it for the world.” As a team, the Rams took first in 12 of 14 events. “We got to rest some of our top performers and get some of the more inexperienced swimmers some action,” CSU head coach Christopher Woodard said after the meet. “We had some swimmers who maybe aren’t in the spotlight as much really perform well and that was important”. CSU finished the regular season with a 3-1 record at home and a 3-4 record overall. Next up for the Rams will be the Mountain West championships in College Station, Texas on Feb. 15-18. “We have been focused on getting better at one thing at a time, that what has been our goal all season, everybody contributes.” Woodard said about

his team’s season, “At the conference meet that mean everyone is scoring. They have really become a unified team over the season and dedicated to the process.” Colorado State will be look-
ing to improve on an eighth place finish in the Mountain West championships from a season ago, but Woodard says the team is trying not to get ahead of themselves. “It’s hard to not look past the
last meet, they all desperately want to get to championships,” Woodard said. “Anytime we are winning events it’s a shot in the arm for them.” Tyler Johnson can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Good vibrations: Hare Krishna group fills Plaza with positivity, spirituality CULTURE & COMMUNITY
By Cory Bertelsen @Becoryp
After leaving my last class Tuesday, I heard some beats and chimes in the distance. I started following the positive vibrations until I finally met a group of friendly people who were a part of the Hare Krishna faith. I stopped to enjoy the music and the piece of cake they gave me. Trying to act serious, yet having a little bit of cake on my face, I had to know the reason behind all of the music and cake-giving. I sparked a conversation with a cordial guy named Amala Purāna Dāsa. “The music that you hear is called Kirtan,” Purāna Dāsa said. “This is musical meditation. People walk by and say that they feel they are receiving good energy.” Purāna Dāsa said Hari Krisjna stems from a practice called Gaudiya Vaishnavism, a branch of the Vaishnava practice. “We are given the nickname because we chant the Hare Krishna mantra,” Purāna Dāsa said. “This (Gaudiya Vaishnavism) comes from the Vedic Literature, which stems from literature from over 5,000 years ago from ancient India. The orig-
inal teachings are about yoga, meditations and consciousness.” Purāna Dāsa said Hare Krishna can be described as a religion, way of life or spiritual journey. “Everyone is an individual, and no one can take away your individuality,” Purāna Dāsa said. “We believe everything has a unity, a wholeness, but at the same time there is diversity and uniqueness.” Purāna Dāsa said an important aspect of the Hare Krishna
faith is to connect with your inner self. “We are trying to connect with our real identities and try to get away from all these designations we have accumulated,” Purāna Dāsa said. “With a little bit of contemplation and patience, anyone can find something deeper within, regardless of background and experience.” Purāna Dāsa comes from a Roman Catholic background, see VIBRATIONS on page 19 >>

Adulting stuff I didn’t know before I lived on my own By Miranda Moses @mirandasrad
College itself is a learning experience that is not limited to academia. Not all learning comes from the classroom or a textbook that is priced entirely too high. Sometimes, learning comes when you plug an extension cord into a power strip that is plugged into another power strip and you short circuit your entire dorm hall, that is priceless. Here I have compiled a short list of adultey things that I have learned in my short period of time. I have been away from home, so you can just skip to learning how taxes work and not worry about setting yourself/ your home on fire. Water pipes will freeze in chilly homes. This can be a real shocker to students who come from the South or California, but Colorado’s freezing temperatures can do a lot more than make your nose run all over everything you love; it can actually cause property damage. If the pipes in your home get too cold, the water inside them can freeze into ice, causing them to expand and burst. While you may be able to put on a Patagonia with all your other fraternity bros to fight the cold, your pipes are not so lucky, so keep your house or apartment above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. It is possible to accidentally commit arson at the gas station. First of all, this should go without saying, but please turn off your car when you fill it up with gas. I have risked my life too many times now filling up my car next to someone at the gas sta-
>> VIBRATIONS from page 18 but he said he was exposed to Indian culture because his mom is a yoga teacher. His conversion to the Hare Krishna faith was the result of a chance encounter. “One day, I met this amazing person, and we conversed about yoga, meditations, karma and the third eye,” Purāna Dāsa said. “We developed a strong relationship overtime. One day, she invited me to the Hare Krishna temple she is a part of. At first I was going for the food because it is really good.” Purāna Dāsa said his time at the Hare Krishna temple was a wonderful experience full of music, philosophy and food. “It was amazing, the giving of food and knowledge,” Purāna Dāsa said. “These people are very welcoming and not condescending in any way.” Purāna Dāsa said he
tion who is blasting Chainsmoker’s “Closer” from their radio and their heat on full effect. Turning off your car whilst filling it up is common knowledge, or at least I thought it was. Something not so commonly known is the fact that static electricity created by getting out of your car can also cause your gas tank to catch fire! This is extremely rare, but one quick venture to YouTube confirms that this terrifying event does in fact happen. While it may make you look like a fire bender, it is best to refrain from recreating that one scene in Zoolander by touching something metal after you get out of your car to fill it up before reaching for the gas. Getting memberships at grocery stores actually helps. If you now buy your own groceries, show yourself some love, and sign up for the grocery store cards the cashiers always pressure you to get. They usually need very little of your information to get registered, and the worst thing that comes out of it may be a few annoying emails that are just sent to you to get more deals on Hostess Ho Hos. The more you save, the more money you have to buy more snacks for later, so when your done at the bars on Friday nights, you do not always have to throw down cash a Fat Shack. Instead, you can eat a whole jar of Nutella in your bed. Simple Bills is a mystery that we will never be able to solve. Did I pay for my electricity this month? Who knows? Look up ratings for bill splitting apps and services before you decide to use them when splitting up bills with several roommates.
Do not open bank info on un-secure internet. Nowadays, every bank has an app that easily lets you access your account balances and manage your spending. But think again before you pull out your iPhone in the Panda Express line to see if you still have that three dollars that one dude Venmoed you that one time. Pulling up this kind of app on the CSU campus’ semi-public wifi does not guarantee that someone will steal your information and buy 845 dollars worth of Taco Bell, but it can not be guaranteed that it will not happen either. Toasters are scary. For a long time, I did not know that you are not supposed to shove metal knives into toasters to get your toast out. I understood not shoving your fingers in there because obviously that could result in some skin burning, but I did not know that metal tools could result in electrocution. Sometimes it is hard because your toast gets really down in there, but the fact of the matter is that electricity should not be messed with. Also, kitchen appliances use electricity even when you are not personally using them, so you should unplug them if you love the earth. There have been instances of toasters starting house fires, so you should really unplug them if you love being alive and being inside a building that is not on fire. Don’t put dish soap in your washing machine. Just do not. Please. Miranda Moses can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.
particularly liked the sense of community and diversity at the temple. There were people from China, Russia, Africa and South Asia. “All of these people were from different cultures and are coming together for a common cause,” Purāna Dāsa said. “Everyone can find a common connection with this practice, whether it is the food, the music, arts, theatre or even fashion.” Purāna Dāsa is a guitarist. In high school, he signed to a record label. The band mostly played funk and hard-rock, but they played anything that sounded good, according to Purāna Dāsa. “I still play guitar, and I will add it to the musical plays,” Purāna Dāsa said. “For me, music is very powerful and what has attracted me here is their appreciation for music.” Purāna Dāsa said he has become more connected to himself
spiritually. “I felt like in the past I couldn’t express myself, for I was always putting on a mask and had to impress others,” Purāna Dāsa said. “This practice has helped me remove some of my insecurities, which is very difficult to overcome, and for I am still going deeper, this practice has taught me how to make the best out of a bad bargain.” In today’s world, we need to be more tolerant than ever when it comes to people’s religious backgrounds and differences because we all have so much in common. So whether it is to feel the positive vibrations, eat a treat or connect with your inner self, swing by the Plaza on Tuesdays during the afternoon and say hello to some friendly faces.

‘Gold’ tells a lackluster tale with decent acting By Nate Day @NateMDay
Perhaps “Gold” was not the right title. Maybe they should have called it “Beige” because it was not as exciting as it could have been. Or maybe it should have been called “Hodgepodge of mahogany conference tables, blonde blowouts and tiger print” because that is how the second half looked. The movie has all of the ingredients for a great film: a story inspired by true events, an A-list cast playing outrageous characters, an award-winning director and writers, a plot twist at the end and a theme song written by a rock legend. Unfortunately, having all the right ingredients does not guarantee a great film. Set in the late 1980s, “Gold” tells the story of a legacy-obsessed prospector, Kenny Wells (Matthew McConaughey), as he stumbles across a gold mine
in Indonesia. Of course, it is not that simple, as the gold mine has an impact on Wells’ romantic life, and even his standing with the law and the business community of Reno, Nevada. While eccentric and elaborately costumed—with a balding head, snaggle tooth, beer gut and graying stubble—McConaughey fails to make Wells sympathetic. From start to finish, he is a bit of a sleazeball, and his girlfriend, Kay (Bryce Dallas Howard) is obviously too good for him. Otherwise, McConaughey entirely dedicates himself to the role, making his performance merely alright (as opposed to “alright, alright, alright”). Howard is hardly given a chance to shine, despite the fact that she is one of the biggest names in the production, and Edgar Ramirez’s, Michael Acosta, fails to strike a chord until you find out that he is an even slea-
zier mastermind. The rest of the cast is made up of talented actors in roles too small or insignificant
“The overall theme of the story is somewhat unclear. However, the movie is a unique look into a business we rarely get to see.”
for their abilities. The writing was not topnotch either. It was clear that the team behind the screenplay did their research, unfor-
tunately, that also meant that the film was full of jargon from an industry that the average movie-goer knows very little about. The movie also suffered from being entirely different from what the trailers depicted. While the story does focus on Wells’ discovery of gold and subsequent failures, its approached through a business lens, leaving the viewer stuck in an office more often than experiencing the thrill of striking gold. The film’s narration is also a tad confusing, as halfway through the movie, it is revealed that rather than a simple voiceover, we are hearing Wells’ interview with the FBI, throwing us the first of many curveballs that were not entirely necessary. It is not all bad, though. Stories about the mining industry are not that common today, so it was a nice change of pace from the typical busi-
ness-centered drama, and at points, the film bears similarities to “Wolf of Wallstreet” in terms of the over-the-top lifestyle that is depicted. The final big twist of the film was entirely unexpected and completely welcomed. Also of note, the theme song is reminiscent of Johnny Cash’s cover of “Hurt” and sums up the tone of the tale nicely. Should you see it?: No. Unless you are a fan of McConaughey, otherwise, you will not miss much. While the film did not leave the impression that was expected. Ultimately it did not leave a bad impression. The overall theme of the story is somewhat unclear. However, the movie is a unique look into a business we rarely get to see with a cast that seems to know what they are doing. Nate Day can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

The Rocky Mountain Collegian | Thursday, February 2, 2017 >> SPEASE from page 9 As well, the standard uniform of many of the participants were pink “pussy caps” in the shape of a vagina, thus referring to the controversial tape of Donald Trump. Also, I find it depressingly laughable that a person with purple hair wearing a vagina suit is going to lecture the rest of the country on human dignity. That is entirely ironic. Many of the demonstrators held posters that directly insulted our new president. Although Trump has made derogatory comments in the past about women that I am not condoning; I also do not agree that he is sexist or anti-women by any means. On the contrary, he hired Kellyanne Conway as his senior adviser and pollster, and then promoted her to campaign manager where she led him to victory, and became the first women to successfully run a presidential campaign. As well, he employs more woman than men in the upper division of his business, has more women executives, and reportedly pays them a higher salary than male counterparts. These are only a few of the great things our president has done for females, and although his rhetoric is poor, actions speak louder than words. Therefore, why did so many women march in protest of Donald Trump? Is it truly because he hates women, or because he deviates from the left’s politically correct train of thought? The Women’s March is another ploy to delegitimize Donald Trump’s electoral landslide. Additionally, the partic-
ipants claim that this is “a women-led movement bringing together people of all genders, ages, races, cultures, political affiliations, disabilities and backgrounds”. Yet, pro-life groups were not allowed to participate. The left may argue that pro-life women’s values do not align with their mission statement for equal rights to abortion, and they have their own march. However, this would seem to imply that everyone who participated in the march agrees with all six pages of principles outlined in the Women’s March document. If the march was truly all inclusive, and one woman can march because she hates Donald Trump and another can march for healthcare; than shouldn’t pro-life women be able to participate in a movement that is all about woman strength? The mission statement should be altered to say that everyone is welcome as long as you support liberal views. The more I researched the Women’s March, the clearer it became that the peace and love the left claim are the reasons behind the demonstration are just a way to cover-up the war they are waging against our president. The media coverage and Hollywood guest speakers were clearly prioritized above the goals of the Women’s March. Similar to the Occupy Wall Street movement, this march had no clear leadership or goals, and failed to work with any legitimate source of authority to obtain their supposed desires for freedom and equality. Every attendee had a different objec-
tive, which watered down the message behind the movement and produced a whole lot of nothing. In addition, the media raved about how peaceful the march was because there were no arrests. Yet, mainstream media failed to mention how Madonna claimed she wanted to burn down the White House, or how Chelsea Handler bashed Melania Trump by saying that she can barely speak English. This seems to contradict the march’s mission of bringing people together from all political affiliations and races. Although the Women’s March upheld many wonderful ideas about equality, acceptance and freedom. The movement was meant to insult Donald Trump. Instead of accepting the election and standing behind our president, the left immediately began protesting. They refuse to accept the free and fair election that brought Donald Trump to the White House, and refuse to respect the millions of votes from their fellow female citizens. Instead, they insult the president and anyone who stands behind him, thus polarizing the country further. These women are not marching for rights; they are protesting and causing tension just because they can, without any tangible or reachable goal in mind. That is something, I, as a woman, cannot stand behind. Holly Spease can be reached at opinion@collegian. com.
>> STETTNER from page 9 I am a woman protesting against this regime I disagree with. Clearly I must have voted for the female candidate. What’s even more frustrating is that people have the audacity to tell those who marched what they’re doing is unimportant, a waste of time or whatever judgement they have on the march. Who are you to tell other people who may have experienced vastly different things and privileges than you and have, or haven’t at all, that what they feel is unjust is wrong? That is the absolute definition of ignorance. This is how society moves forward; by public engagement and demanding better from their government. There are very few other constructive methods to do so. What better way to get the government’s attention than to organize mass amounts of people who are screaming one message,

“we disagree, and we will defend our rights and dignity.” Just look at history. These statements, these actions, are not actions of “snowflakes.” In fact, I think it’s a hell of a lot braver than criticizing behind a computer screen and waiting for something terrible to happen before action is taken as so many of us do nowadays. For such activists of our freedoms, a good portion of the conservative community has been telling “libtards” to sit down, shut up and deal with the presidency. These marches and this entire movement are not entitled to do so, and will continue to fight. I think often about how lucky I am to live in a country where I can so freely express my beliefs, my thoughts and ideas, no matter what they are. I will exercise those rights as long as I have them.

22 Thursday, February 2, 2017 | The Rocky Mountain Collegian >> REVENGE from page 16 “I thought the key for us tonight was timely baskets,” Williams said. “It was timely in the first half when we had a little bit of a lead. The second half, they came out and made a
run early. They made baskets, but so did we, and we never allowed them to get the lead. We always got good shots and made some free throws down the stretch.” CSU returns home for a
weekend showdown against the UNLV Rebels. Moby Arena will play host to the game at 2 p.m. on Saturday Feb. 4. Colin Barnard can be reached at sports@ collegian.com.
