CSU student selected to bike race across Russia By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98
Matthew Carnal, a Colorado State University graduate student in the health and exercise science department, has been invited to compete in the third annual Red Bull Trans-Siberian Extreme bike race set to start in mid-July. The Red Bull Trans-Siberian Extreme is the longest bicycle race in the world, as a number of international cyclists race over 5,700 miles. The cyclists will compete in 14 stages
over 24 days. Carnal said he had mixed emotions after finding out he had been invited to participate. “I was excited, yet I was a little afraid,” Carnal said. “I mean, 5,700 miles in 24 days with one rest day ... It was kind of mixed emotions. Not to mention the daunting task of trying to raise the funds to go.” Carnal must raise $20,000 to pay his entry fee, of which $10,000 must be paid by Jan. 31. He has currently raised $3,030 according to his GoFundMe fundraiser page. Additional
money Carnal raises will go towards purchasing bicycles for kids, according to CSU Source. Carnal was invited after submitting an application to the race director of the Red Bull Trans-Siberian Extreme. Carnal said he told the race director his athletic curriculum vitae was not impressive because he had not competed in many races, but he thought he could compete for the Red Bull Trans-Siberian Extreme since he had biked across the United States. He hopes to be first American to complete. “I’ve ridden across the

country twice, and the second time I did it in kind of a hurry on a fixed gear,” Carnal said. “It’s 1,200 miles short of what this event’s going to be, so I threw all that together on my CV and turned it in.”
On Dec. 10, Carnal received an email that he was on the start list. Carnal, who turned to cycling to help him through depression, said the opportunity to see RUSSIA on page 6 >>

The Associated Students of Colorado State University is, as many people know, the student government at CSU. According to its website, it “functions as a liaison between the administration, the City of Fort Collins, the State of Colorado and the nation, advocating for student needs whatever they may be.” But how does the group actually operate, and what do they do? Much like the U.S. government, there are executive, judicial and legislative branches of ASCSU. In its entirety, the group consists of about 70 members. The executive branch consists of the 2016-17 student body president, Daniela Pineda Soraca, and the vice president, Mike Lensky, as well as the members of the 12 executive branch departments. The goals for this year of some of these departments are as follows: · Dept. of Academics: To initiate a new First Year Seminar to help new CSU students adapt to collegiate challenges, and work with faculty to reform course evaluations. · Dept. of University Affairs: To work on logistics for the on-campus stadium, universal printing, and parking issues across campus. · Dept. of Governmental Affairs: To facilitate a student Day at the Capitol (Feb. 10). Representatives from the academic colleges and resource offices comprise the legislative branch, or the Senate. The student senate welcomes all community members to its meetings, which occur Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. in the Lory Student Center Senate Chambers, room 204. >> KNOW from page 2

ASCSU grants seat to religious organization, struggles to define representation By Gabriel Go @rgabrielgo
The Associated Students of Colorado State University succeeded in granting religious groups representation in the student body Wednesday night, yet struggled to define representation in the organization when they failed to gut a potentially risky clause from their constitution. The clause, which allows under-represented student groups to apply for a senate seat, opens the door for legal liability, according to several University sources. ASCSU created senator seats for the Multi-Faith and Belief Student Council with Bill #4609, but failed to eliminate the petition process for attaining representative seats in the student body with Bill #4610. The bills were voted on for a second time following their
initial votes on the senate floor prior to winter break. As the bills amend the ASCSU constitution, they are required to be voted on twice with a two-thirds majority in order to be ratified. Only Bill #4610 was passed, incurring a vote of 18-4-4. The Multi-Faith and Belief Student Council will bring religious representation to the student body, a particular item which became a focal talking point during the debates surrounding the Diversity Bill last year. “While we do have the trappings of a government, what we’re really here to do is represent student voice … I think that given the way we’ve moved forward, religion needs to be an aspect of (representation),” Bill author PJ Seel said. “When it comes down to it, religion affects every part of who we are as individuals, and I think it’s an important part of what it means to
pursue an education.” On the other hand, Bill #4609 failed to achieve the twothirds majority required to ratify it, defeated by 17-9-0 vote, or 65 percent. Bill #4609 sought to eliminate the petitioning process mentioned in last year’s controversial Diversity Bill. The petitioning process required any student organization representing a “historically underrepresented population not currently represented in the student body” to receive a two-thirds majority vote from the senate in order to receive senate seats. According to members of ASCSU, the petition clause could pose a legal liability for the organization in the future. Legal liability could arise if a petitioning student group is a protected class under the U.S. Constitution and fails to achieve a two-thirds majority vote in the senate. A proposed amendment

to Bill #4609 on Wednesday night would have added a sunset clause to the bill, which states that if an alternative to the petition process is not found by the end of the 46th ASCSU Senate, then the petition process would be reinstated. A number of senators threw
their support behind the amendment, citing it as a means to keep work towards finding a solution accountable. “At the baseline currently … a petition process does not exist,” said senator Isabel Brown in support of the amendment. “We see ASCSU on page 6 >>

FDA approves anti-cancer drug for dogs created by CSU start-up By Tony Villalobos May @TheTonyVM
VetDC. Inc, a Fort Collins-based company, has received conditional approval by the Federal Drug Administration for the first drug that will treat canine lymphoma. The drug, Tanovea- CA1, works to eliminate lymphoma cells in dogs in order to extend their lives. VetDC Inc, which is originally a startup company from Colorado State University, began nearly 10 years ago. Tanovea-CA1 has gone through clinical trials for animal patients and brings new possibilities for canine lymphoma. “This is a huge milestone for us,” said Steven Roy, VetDC President and CEO. “This is the first drug ever approved by the FDA for dogs with lymphoma.” VetDC worked closely with
veterinarians from CSU’s Flint Animal Cancer Center as key advisors to determine the best use of Tanovea-CA1 in companion animals, and helped treat canine cancer patients whose cases evidenced the drug’s compelling anti-cancer activity. Lymphoma, one of the most common forms of cancer in dogs, can kill dogs within several months if they are not treated. Tanovea-CA1 is the first drug ever approved by the FDA that would treat lymphoma in dogs, putting the cancer in remission to prolong the dog’s life. VetDC hopes to release Tanovea into the public this spring, and is currently pursuing manufacturing options. Tanovea will be sold to veterinarians once it is put into circulation. The “CA1” in Tanovea-CA1 refers to the conditional approval of the drug. The drug is only intended for small animals, like
ferrets or fish, or for minor uses in major species, such as lymphoma in dogs, who are eligible for conditional approval. The drug’s conditional approval means that when used, the drug is safe and has “a reasonable expectation of effectiveness,” according to an press release by the FDA. The conditional approval is valid for one year, and VetDC may ask the FDA to renew the conditional approval for four more years. To receive a full approval from the FDA, the company must demonstrate a substantial evidence of effectiveness, typically through a pivotal study. VetDC is still conducting some clinical trials at this time. Tanovea-CA1 has been in development for five years, and was originally licensed from Gillead Sciences. More than 100 dogs were

treated with Tanovea since 2011, and 350 were treated nationwide. VetDC will continue exploring Tanovea’s benefits in cats and other animals. Their main focus right now is to get Tanovea in
veterinarians hands. “This is very exciting for the entire veterinary community” Roy said. Collegian reporter Tony Villalobos May can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Fort Collins for Progress to hold political engagement rally Sunday By Rachel Telljohn @racheltelljohn
Fort Collins for Progress will host Rally for Our Rights this Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. in the gym of the Northside Aztlan Center in Fort Collins. The event is designed for citizens to discuss what it means to be politically active or involved in their community so that they may better protect their civil liberties, according to the press release.
The rally Sunday aims to connect residents in the Fort Collins community to organizations where they can get involved, and elected community officials. Senator John Kefalas, House Representative Joann Ginal, City Council member Kristin Stephens and Poudre School District board member David Trask will be in attendance. Delayna Maynes, field coordinator for American Civil Liberties Union Colorado, and Andy
Boesenecker, of Mustard Seed House, will speak first to begin the event. Attendees can then visit different local organizations before coming back together for a town-hall-style discussion with the elected officials. The rally is to emphasize the importance of being politically and publicly engaged in our community, according to Andrew Bondi of Fort Collins for Progress. Fort Collins for Progress is a grassroots organization. Accord-
ing to Bondi, their vision is to create a community aware of the political process, as well as engaged in it. The group promotes equality and a government representative of its people, which is outlined in the group’s mission statement. Fort Collins for Progress hosted the Peace and Solidarity following the result of the election. The group was previously known as Rams Against Trump, but has since changed their name. They “build bridges

Women’s March to be held in Denver post Trump inauguration By Seth Bodine @sbodine120
A women’s march will be held in downtown Denver on Jan. 21 from 9 - 11 a.m. The event, inspired by the sister event in Washington D.C., has 32,291 people saying they will be attending on the Facebook event page. The march, taking place after President-Elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, is organized as a demonstration for women’s rights. The event is free and open to the public. “Women make up over 50 percent of the population, yet the rights of women and other marginalized groups are in danger of being taken away,” wrote Cheetah McLellan, one of the lo-
cal organizers in a press release to the Collegian. “We hope the march helps inspire women and all participants to take action and do whatever they can to participate in our democracy.” According to the Facebook event page, the goals of the march include speaking out to the nation and to President-elect Donald Trump to say women will “maintain the freedom and lawful protection to choose what is best for them as it concerns their biological and reproductive health.” The march, beginning at 9:30 a.m., will have a 1.3 mile route and start and end at Civic Center Park in Denver. Following the march, a rally will be held at the Greek Amphitheater, and 16
women will speak. Some of the featured speakers include Robin Kniech, a Denver city council member at-large, and slam poet Suzi Q. Smith. A full list of speakers and performers is available on the official march website. Colorado Women’s College will offer a paid parking lot for march attendees and buses. There will also be space for making signs prior to the march starting at 7 a.m. Over 200 sister marches have been scheduled for Jan. 21. Colorado has six other marches in Colorado Springs, Aspen, Durango, Carbondale, Grand Junction and Steamboat Springs. Collegian News Editor Seth Bodine can be reached at news@ collegian.com.

Trump inauguration events to begin Thursday By Tatiana Parafiniuk-Talesnick @tatianasophiapt
President-Elect Donald Trump will be sworn in on Friday, and the full schedule of inauguration events begins Thursday. Trump’s trail to the White House has lasted over a year and has been distinct in its fair amount of controversy on the way. Support of the Trump campaign was voiced on the Colorado State University campus when students built a “free speech wall” meant to encourage free speech, as well as symbolize the border wall between the United States and Mexico Trump has proposed. Some students opposed the demonstration. Following the election, hundreds of people in Fort Collins gathered in Civic Center park in a “Peace and Solidarity rally” for what was originally intended as an anti-Trump march and later became a demonstration for peace and unity. On Friday, Trump will become the 45th president of the United States – here’s what to know:

City settles racial discrimination case filed by police officers for $425,000 CITY
By Stuart Smith @notstuartsmith
The City of Fort Collins has settled with city police officers Detective Kennyberg Araujo and Sergeant Francis Gonzales after the pair filed a lawsuit against the City alleging discrimination and retaliation on the basis of race and national origin. Per the settlement, all claims against the City, former Deputy Chief of Police Don Vagge and Police Sergeant Gary Shaklee will be dismissed with prejudice, meaning the plaintiffs are prevented from suing again on the same claim. The settlement awards Araujo and Gonzales a total of $425,000, including attorney’s fees. The settlement also requires several actions that the City will take to prevent situa-
tions like this from arising in the future. The settlement was reached because both the plaintiffs and the City wanted to avoid the expense of litigation, according to the City of Fort Collins. In the complaint, Araujo and Gonzales claimed that their FCPD superiors prevented them from getting promotions, repeatedly and openly criticized them, retaliated against them after they filed internal complaints and used racial slurs and unfairly disciplined them. “It took considerable courage for Sgt. Gonzales and former Detective Araujo to raise these issues, and through this process they have expressed a genuine interest in ensuring a positive environment for all in Fort Collins Police Services,” Police Chief John Hutto said. “City Manag-

Biden says he will be based at Penn By Susan Snyder
The Philadelphia Inquirer
Vice President Biden said Tuesday he will set up shop at the University of Pennsylvania after he leaves office this month. “Going to be based out of Penn for foreign policy,” Biden said during the swearing in ceremony for the U.S. Senate, according to ABC. Last month, Politico reported that Biden, who represented Delaware in the U.S. Senate and has taught at Widener University’s law school, had plans to work at Penn after he leaves office. Rumors of such had been swirling at Penn for weeks. But Stephen MacCarthy, Penn’s vice president of university communications, declined comment at that time. On Tuesday, he said his stance hadn’t changed. Biden’s office could not be reached for comment. Biden launched his “moonshot” initiative to cure cancer at Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center last January. Biden’s late son, Beau, a Penn grad, died of brain cancer in 2015 at age 46. Biden also attended his granddaughter Naomi’s graduation from Penn in May, and was Penn’s commencement speaker in 2013. Few details were reported about Biden’s new job. ABC quoted Biden as saying: “I’m going to ... establish a domestic plus foreign policy piece where I can still do the stuff that I care a lot about” with universities.

As a department, we are absolutely committed to developing and maintaining a culture of mutual respect, trust, non-discrimination and non-retaliation.” The actions the city must take are as follows: First, the City will investigate any alleged policy violations related to the lawsuit, and take appropriate actions against employees found to have violated these policies. Second, the City will also create an “EEO Office” in the City Manager’s office that will provide officers with a way, outside of and independent of Fort Collins Police Services, to report complaints of discrimination, retaliation, and harassment.

Anything could happen.” Carnal is currently training for five to seven hours a day to prepare because he intends to complete the race. “If the opportunity doesn’t present itself (to race), that’s okay,” Carnal said. “However, considering I’m on the starting list right now, (I) might as well take advantage of the opportunity and see what I can do.” Carnal said he would be the first American to finish the race, and it means a lot to him. “It’s going to take a strong support person to pull me out of this event,” Carnal said.

City will create a training strategy for the FCPS that ensures all employees, present and future, are educated on how to prevent and address the harassment, discrimination and retaliation that was detailed in the lawsuit. Fourth, it will strive to achieve, within five years, a workplace at FCPS that reflects the diversity of the population of the City of Fort Collins. The City will also review recruitment strategies to ensure a diverse pool of qualified candidates that will be reflective of the community. Fifth, the City will track, and continually scan for, emerging trends in need of proactive attention.

During the bill’s last presentation on Dec. 7, ASCSU Vice President Mike Lensky called for a clearer definition of the term, and urged the legislative body to research potential definitions over the break. Bill #4609 has been on the senate’s agenda since November of last year. It was defeated two weeks before the start of winter break, after which it was then reintroduced to the floor during the last senate session of the fall semester. While ASCSU is not currently being sued, the organization was advised by University lawyers to either define the petition process or remove the clause. According to several members of the body, the bill’s failure causes the organization to remain at a legal liability as long as long as the petition clause is in place.

The military disqualifies too many recruits for injuries Holly Spease @CSUCollegian
America is blessed with the most powerful military in the world. According to Business Insider, the US government allocates $612 billion dollars towards national defense. There is no denying that our soldiers have elite training and equipment, which produces a nearly unstoppable force. Therefore, it is reasonable that the military is selective when choosing men and women to serve. Yet, not all factors of a potential recruit seem to be given fair assessment. The physical and intellectual aspects are prioritized, and recently, the military is putting a lot of focus towards improving mental health screenings. Yet, I’ve never heard of a recruit being rejected for not having enough heart. Although being strong and intelligent are vital, passion and the desire to serve the United States should be factored into a potential recruit’s acceptance. There are too many recruits that have unwavering love for their country and the desire to protect that are rejected because of injuries. In order to fully understand this issue, people need to learn about the extensive recruitment process. According to today’s military, there is a physical exam each potential recruit undergoes that requires that certain height, weight, hearing, etc. standards are met depending on the military branch. Additionally, men and women must be skilled in the field that they will be working in, thus requiring them to take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) to determine the career best suited for them. After passing these two examinations the recruit is ready to meet a counselor to determine their career field, they take an oath of enlistment, and finally report to Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS). Then in 2014, new mental health screening legislation was passed. In an interview by National Public Radio, psychiatrist Xenakis and Lieutenant General Schoomaker discuss the process. There are a series of evaluations prior to, during, and following deployment. Each man and woman must also be tested for cognitive
brain function using Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM) twice before and after deployment. They must meet in person with a psychiatrist, and each member always has access to a medical professional if they need one.
Although being strong and intelligent are vital, passion and the desire to serve the United States should be factored into a potential recruit’s acceptance. There are too many recruits that have unwavering love for their country and the desire to protect that are rejected due to minor injuries. Although these physical, intellectual, and mental screenings seem extensive, and it would be rare that someone with an ailment would slip through the cracks. It happens more often than people may think. During the podcast by NPR, medical experts Xenakis and Schoomaker discuss how soldiers are increasingly skirting these tests by not disclosing all information, or stretching the truth. Most people wonder why individuals would want to lie about an ailment that could put their life in danger. The answer is simple to these men and women; they love their country and they have a passion and drive to serve. I have known two men that have first-hand experience with this situation. When I was a lifeguard I worked with a man named Brion for two years, and his ultimate dream in life was to join the Navy. Every day he would wake up extremely early and go for a run, swim laps, lift, work out with other recruits, etc. He would eat a ton of small meals throughout the day (I’ve never seen someone eat so much chicken and ketchup) and his hard work showed, he was
ripped from head to toe. When he finally got into the Navy, he had served for about two and a half months until his superiors found out about his tree nut allergy. He was then retested for other physical ailments, and found out he had a compressed disc and a traumatic brain injury from boxing. Although this seems like a lot he was told by a petty officer first class that if the military were not downsizing he would be able to stay in, so
his injuries were not extremely risky. He was so passionate about serving and such a great guy all around that he would have made an amazing sailor, but his passion to serve did not matter as much as his medical record. Additionally, my other friend, who we will call Travis for anonymity reasons, was working towards joining the Air Force S.E.R.E branch, which stands for survival, evasion, resistance and
escape. He had a shoulder injury from collegiate lacrosse but it was not holding him back. Travis said, “I went through pre-boot camp training learning things about what my 3 possible jobs could entail and then I went to MEPS and made is past everything”. Travis’ last step was to be cleared by three doctors and then he was in, but one out of the three doctors did not pass him because of his shoulder. see MILITARY on page 8 >>

Ignoring climate change just got more expensive By Eric Roston Bloomberg News
If President-elect Donald Trump stops taking climate change into account when making federal energy policy, he’ll do so just as a leading projection of climate-related costs rises sharply. William Nordhaus of Yale University is a central figure in the study of climate change and economics. In the early 1990s he developed what became the leading computer model for studying the effects of warming on the global economy. The Dynamic Integrated model of Climate & the Economy, or DICE, has long given resource economists, students, and policymakers an opportunity to test how different scenarios might lead to quite different future climates. Nordhaus recently updated DICE. He published results of an early test-drive of it this
week in a National Bureau of Economic Research working paper, titled “Projections and Uncertainties About Climate Change in an Era of Minimal Climate Policies.” Readers of recent headlines might be forgiven for assuming the “era of minimal climate policies” referred to is about the next four years. In fact, Nordhaus suggests, the “minimal policy” era is the one we’re currently in. (Nordhaus couldn’t be reached for comment.) The paper’s findings “pertain primarily to a world without climate policies, which is reasonably accurate for virtually the entire globe today,” he writes. “The results show rapidly rising accumulation of (carbon dioxide), temperature changes, and damages.” Even after adjusting for uncertainty, he writes, there is “virtually no chance” that

nations will prevent the world from warming more than 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit), the upper bound for avoiding cascading catastrophes. With revisions to methods and data in the model, he estimates that the price associated with each ton of carbon dioxide emitted should be about 50 percent higher than the previous version of DICE. His simulations echo findings of analyses such as the Climate Action Tracker project, which suggest current policies might lead to average warming of 3.6 Celsius. The United Nations Environment Program estimates that the world needs to slash emissions about 25 percent below what’s projected in 2030. DICE is one of three major “integrated assessment models” used by governments and the private sector to estimate the cost, in today’s dollars, of
the damage climate change will cause. The Obama administration relied on these models to produce the “social cost of carbon” (SCC) at the heart of dozens of energy-related federal rules. The measure is expressed in dollars per ton of carbon dioxide emitted. The current U.S. estimate is about $40. The SCC, paradoxically, has become semi-famous just by being so obscure. It has always drawn attention within the climate policy world because it’s so influential and complicated. Different assumptions entered into the models can yield dramatically different results. The measure has popped up at least twice since the 2016 election. Once, in a questionnaire that a Trump transition official sent to the Department of Energy (the document was later disavowed by the transition team). It also appeared on a post-election
energy-policy wish list of the Institute for Energy Research, or IER, a nonprofit, which said the estimates should no longer be used. IER’s president, Thomas Pyle, a former Koch Industries lobbyist, became head of the Trump Energy Department transition last month. The National Academies has undertaken a major study of how best to update the SCC, with the final report due early next year. The current process was approved by a federal court as recently as August. Tea-leaf-reading aside, the new administration’s actual intentions and priorities will become clear only after Jan. 20. The planet, meanwhile, seems to have intentions and priorities of its own, judging by the unprecedented warm Christmas near the top of the world.
>> MILITARY from page 7 Travis was even cleared by the surgeon general but could not join because of one injury. These men were extremely passionate to serve and were serving for the right reasons. They did not want to join the military for free college tuition or health benefits; they joined because they wanted to serve their county and protect fellow U.S. citi-
zens. I’m not saying that we should let extremely injured people serve just because they really want to, but both of these men were capable of serving and their superiors said they were only cutting them because of money. In my opinion, the military should add a fourth test to their screening, and it should be passion to serve. Men and women who join because it
is convenient should be cut before servicemen like Travis and Brion. At the end of the day, I would rather have someone protecting me who had a shoulder surgery but is completely committed and loves their job than someone who is perfectly healthy but lacks the passion to serve.

CSU track and field gaining national attention By Eric Wolf @Eric_Wolf5
The Colorado State men’s indoor track and field team was dubbed the No.9 team in the nation when the USTFCCCA (U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association) preseason rankings were released on Jan. 9. The Rams ended last year’s indoor season ranked 34th in the country, and the 25-spot jump gives the team its highest preseason ranking in program history. The preseason rankings are formed from computer rankings based on athlete totals from the young 2017 indoor season which kicked off a little over a month ago. These rankings include previously scored marks from athletes in indoor seasons, such as school record high jumper Collin Scheer and All-American distance runners Jefferson Abbey and Jerrell Mock. The surge for the men’s team in the rankings was due in large part to junior heptathlete Hunter Price who smashed his own school record when he scored 5,906 points in the discipline at the Mines Alumni Classic and Multis hosted by the Colorado School of Mines in December. Price’s previous best of 5,621 was set last season in the Mountain West Indoor Track and Field Championships when he took home first place in the event. His mark of 5,906 currently places him second in the country behind Luca Weiland of Minnesota, and stands as the all-time best in the Mountain West conference. “It’s definitely a satisfying, rewarding feeling,” Price said about besting his own record. “After I broke the school record last year I was happy about it obviously, but at the same time, in my mind, I had a lot more to
offer. I was still hungry for more and that still stands for where I am at right now.” Other early CSU men’s contributors include fellow multi-event athletes in senior Josh Cogdill and junior Nick
Kravec. Kravec’s 5,508 in the heptathlon at the Mines meet is currently the 5th best score in the country, while Cogdill’s 5,422 set at the same meet places him 7th in the nation. No other men’s athlete
may come into the 2017 track and field season with higher expectations than star shot putter Mustafa Hassan, who has a lot to do with where the Rams are ranked right now. The junior All-American swept the
indoor and outdoor shot put competitions in the Mountain West last year, and he is fresh off of a third place finish in the NCAA Division One outdoor track and field championships see CSU TRACK on page 22 >>

Fresno State shoots their way past CSU BASKETBALL
By Eddie Herz @Eddie_Herz
Colorado State’s recent struggles in Mountain West play continued Wednesday night against Fresno State with a 78-57 road defeat. The loss marks the rams second consecutive double-digit defeat. The previous loss coming to New Mexico at home by 13. With Wyoming’s 80-70 victory over San Jose State, the Rams have now fallen into a fourth place tie in the Mountain West with the Wyoming Cowboys and San Diego State. CSU is now 11-8 for the season and 3-3 in MW play. CSU leaves Fresno still searching for answers offensively without Kimani Jackson in the starting lineup as well as Devocio Butler and Che Bob off the bench, who are academically ineligible. The Rams trailed 37-25 at half and were unable to gain offensive rhythm. As a team CSU shot only 34.4 percent and an abysmal 14.3 percent from three-point range. The Bulldogs on the other hand burned the Rams from distance, converting
11-28 threes (39.3 percent). Jahmel Taylor, who entered the game as the 47th most efficient three-point shooter in the country, converted 5-of-9 attempts. His teammate, Deshon Taylor (no relation), added four three pointers. Aside from the Taylor duo combining for nine threes and 33 points, the Rams had no answer for Jaron Hopkins. The junior guard scored 19 points, totaled seven assists and collected six rebounds in the Bulldogs victory. CSU finished with four double-digit scorers in the losing effort. Emmanuel Omogbo scored 14 to lead the Rams while also grabbing 10 rebounds to notch his ninth double-double of the season. Omogbo has hit double figures in rebounding and scoring in four of CSU’s last six games. Gian Clavell also earned his second double-double of the season with a 10 point and 11 rebound performance. Prentiss Nixon, the only Ram to foul out in the contest, added 13 points for CSU. Forward Nico Carvacho finished with 10 points on 5-7

Rams knock off Fresno State behind career night from Kantzy BASKETBALL
By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_
Amanda Kantzy’s second-half performance propelled the Rams to a 73-56 victory over Fresno State on Wednesday night. Ellen Nystrom led all scorers with 20 points and added six rebounds and five assists. But it was Kantzy’s career high 16 points that gave life to the Rams, who struggled to find their touch to start the second half. CSU led by five at halftime, but quickly found themselves behind after the Bulldogs opened the third quarter on a 13-6 run. With three minutes remaining in the quarter, Kantzy knocked down a mid-range jumper and followed it up with a corner three a few posessions later. With the clock winding down, Kantzy nailed another three to cap off a 13-2 Rams run that gave them the lead they would not relinquish. “It was really nice,” Kantzy said. “I just tried to relax and just be Amanda. I love to bring energy and passion to the team and that was the only thing I tried to do. Today they went in, and that felt amazing. I just tried to focus on the easy stuff, just take my shots. Coach has told me to shoot them, I just didn’t think. And that’s the key for me, I just need to play and not think so much.” Her hot stretch carried into the fourth quarter where she made two more three-pointers in the opening minutes, giving the Rams some comfort room for the remainder of the game. All of her 16 points came in a meager 15 minutes of action. Her performance was a welcome sight for head coach Ryun Williams. “If you were to walk into the gym before practice or after practice every single day, Aman-
da is the one getting the most shots up,” Williams said. “It’s difficult to keep ready and stay ready when you’re not called on consistently. So that’s a big time, mature performance by this sophomore right here. I’m more proud of her performance (tonight) than I am of any performance of our kids this season.” Nystrom praised the performance after the game, as well. “She works so, so hard,” Nystrom said. “If she sees that ball go in, I think that gives her confidence and she can keep on shooting. That’s who we want to shoot because that’s a great percentage shot. It was great, both for her and the team.” The win comes in the midst of another injury-ridden week for the Rams. Sofie Tryggedsson, Jordyn Edwards and Veronika Mirkovic all missed the game with various injuries, forcing Williams to go with seven players until the final minute. Despite the injuries, the Rams have had players step up in the right time. Last game against New Mexico it was Myanne Hamm and tonight it was Kantzy. Pair that with the leadership of Nystrom and Gustavsson, and the Rams haven’t missed a beat. “Kids have stepped up,” Williams said. “I think Eli and Ellen have been really good leaders, and they’ve been really solid in their performance. We can count on that every night. We’ve had really good leadership and our kids, we trust them…As a staff, we’re getting more comfortable and confident with everybody in our lineup. So when we get everybody back and healthy, I think this team can really, really go.” Up next is another home game against Utah State on Saturday Jan. 21.

Lesbian college coaches still face difficult atmosphere to come out By Shannon Ryan Chicago Tribune
Courtney Graham said everything was going smoothly with her assistant coaching job with Drake University’s women’s basketball team. The Bulldogs were building the program, and Graham said she was handling her recruiting and scouting responsibilities well, resulting in bonuses and positive performance reviews. That changed, she said, when she brought her now-wife to a game to sit in the family section in November 2014. In a federal lawsuit filed in late December, Graham alleges that as a result, head coach Jennie Baranczyk ostracized her from the team, told her she was not acting like herself, diminished her duties and asked her to resign in May 2015. Graham turned in her resignation a month later after, she said, undue pressure from Ba-
ranczyk. “She loves coaching,” Graham’s attorney, Tina Muhammad, told the Tribune. Graham, now married with children, declined to comment to the Tribune directly. “If you think of a traditional coach who is only focused on scouting, games, plays, what are we doing next week _ that’s her focus. “She wasn’t on any type of agenda. She wasn’t looking for homophobic behavior. It did blindside her. She was just there doing a job.” Drake has denied the allegations. A university statement in reply to the suit said the school and Baranczyk “have a strong commitment to diversity, tolerance and non-discrimination.” Regardless of the suit’s outcome, the case has stirred lingering questions about homophobia in college athletics and the specific challenges lesbian coaches face. Stereotypes about women in sports lead to a don’t-ask-
don’t-tell atmosphere that keeps many closeted, coaches and advocates told the Tribune. “There is still a lot of fear out there among lesbian coaches about coming out and suffering professional consequences as a result,” said Pat Griffin, a Massachusetts Amherst professor who has studied and written about homophobia and sports. “There’s this whole stereotype that there’s a lot of lesbians in sports and it’s a big paradise and everyone is happy and nobody has a problem anymore. I often hear we have to focus on homophobia in men’s sports because women’s sports is so terrific. It’s a little bit of sexism and homophobia.” While public support has strengthened in recent years for college athletes who come out _ including former Missouri football player Michael Sam, UMass men’s basketball player Derrick Gordon and Purdue women’s basketball player Bree Horrocks
_ Griffin said gay men and women in sports must navigate homophobia differently. WNBA star Brittney Griner came out after her college career at Baylor and said her coach, Kim Mulkey, had told players to remain closeted. Stereotypes about female athletes, Griffin said, can cause coaches to fear how they and their program will be perceived. “If a gay man comes out on his team, there isn’t the assumption that, ‘Oh, my god, the rest of them must be too.’ In some ways, it’s perceived as less of a risk (than for female players),” Griffin said. “And as (a male coach, you) do not have to worry: ‘Will this affect my ability to recruit as a straight ally (to gay players)?’ The stakes are different because of the different ways homophobia works in men’s and women’s sports.” It’s even rarer _ and in many ways more difficult _ for gay college coaches to publicly confirm
their sexuality. From subtle aspects of coaching such as including family in media guides or inviting the team to their home for a cookout to more significant areas such as recruiting and job security, the culture of college athletics continues to make their sexuality feel like a career risk. In Portland, Ore., where former Portland State coach Sherri Murrell said “lesbians are as common as food trucks,” Murrell’s sexuality was no secret and no big deal. But she made national headlines with the simple _ and typical _ decision to include her wife and children in the media guide. “Much has changed but much has not,” said Murrell, who became the first openly gay Division I basketball coach in 2009 after taking the job in 2007. “If (coaches) are outspoken or more public about it, it’s just one more thing to cause them to not get a see COACHES on page 22 >>

Netflix’s “A Series of Unfortunate Events” reboot offers gloomy comedy MOVIES & TV
By Darby Osborne @_darbs_
Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for the Netflix original series “A Series of Unfortunate Events.” Netflix finally gave audiences the first season of “A Series of Unfortunate Events,” based on the popular books by Lemony Snicket. The first season consists of eight hour-long episodes that cover the first four books of the series. “The Bad Beginning: Part One” introduces the Baudelaire children Violet (Malina Weissman), Klaus (Louis Hynes) and Sunny (Presley Smith). The news of their parents perishing in a fire kick-starts the plot as Arthur Poe (K. Todd Freeman), a banker in charge of the Baudelarie fortune and now the siblings, delivers the upsetting news. Snicket (Patrick Warburton) weaves a tale of terrible and tragic events that the orphans will soon face. Warburton’s interactions
create a sense of curiosity between the visible plot and the mysterious underlining one. But Neil Patrick Harris steals the spotlight with his portrayal of Count Olaf. Harris settles into the character seamlessly with easy, comedic timing and charm. “The Bad Beginning: Part Two” starts as Olaf schemes to steal the amazing Baudelaire fortune by marrying Violet. This episode showcases witty dialogue that offsets the mature themes of the show. Olaf’s plot is uprooted, and the orphans are out of his clutches, for now. “The Reptile Room: Part One” offers the Baudelaires a fresh start in the form of herpetologist Dr. Montgomery. The children take in Montgomery with cautious hope as they are still reeling from their stay with Olaf. On cue, “Stefano” appears as a new apprentice. Obviously Olaf in disguise, the siblings plead to Montgomery to get rid of him. The adult characters’ obliviousness to Olaf’s disguises is a running gag throughout the
book and cleverly incorporated into the show adaptation. “The Reptile Room: Part Two” brings in the first bit of action as the Baudelaries uncover a murdered Montgomery. The siblings uncover Olaf with more than enough evidence. “The Wide Window: Part One” moves to gloomy Lake Lachrymose with the hero turned coward Aunt Josephine (Alfre Woodard). While Woodard is a versatile actress, the interpretation for Aunt Josephine here is not as strong as her other works. Olaf hatches a scheme as “Captain Sham” to once again steal the children’s fortune. Josephine seems to have jumped to her death, leaving the Baudelaires in the captain’s care. “The Wide Window: Part Two” has the siblings searching for their aunt, soon finding her alive and well. After gathering Josephine, they are confronted by Olaf. Josephine is left to die as the characters head back to town. The Baudelaires leave to uncov-

er more secrets about their parents’ hidden past, leading them to a place called Lucky Smells Lumber Mill. “The Miserable Mill: Part One” sets the Baudelaires in the middle of a lumbar mill where they are forced to work by the owner “Sir” who blames their parents for a mysterious fire that set ablaze the whole town. A new character, Georgina Orwell (Catherine O’Hara), a sinister optometrist and former girlfriend to Olaf, is introduced. Orwell’s specialty is hypnotism, her own prescription of terror that forces mill workers into obedient robots, the only twist of the whole season. “The Miserable Mill: Part Two” concludes the Baudelaires season of tragedy. Olaf is defeated but not captured, Poe leaves the children at a boarding school and the siblings are left with more questions than answers. Should you watch it? Maybe Harris and Warburton are by far the stand-outs of this show,
successfully adapting the two major characters from paper to screen. The humorous comedy and dialogue acted as characters in their own right. The book’s influence was apparent here with five-dollar words around every corner. The script was drawn directly from the books, which is normally not a bad thing, but in this case, the dialogue dragged on, becoming hard to listen to by the fourth episode. The series offers more character development and interaction, but with the lack of action, the excitement dwindles with each episode. “A Series of Unfortunate Events” introduces a mix of comedy and gothic themes true to the Snicket brand. These events were truly not unfortunate, but don’t tell any money-grubbing counts that. Darby Osborne can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com

Ed Sheeran releases 2 singles, announces new album By Maegan Garcia @maeganngarcia
Ed Sheeran fans around the world are rejoicing the end of a year-long hiatus after the artist released two new singles “Shape of You” and “Castle on the Hill,” and announced the release of a brand new album. The album, “÷” (Divide), is set to release on March 3. On Dec. 12, 2015, Sheeran posted an Instagram photo explaining that he was taking some time to himself to travel the world and write, saying, “see you in the fall.” As fall rolled around with no sign from Sheeran, fans became discouraged. On Dec. 12, 2016, exactly one year to the minute from when he posted his last update, he uploaded a photo to his social media accounts with no caption. After a few weeks passed
with no other social media posts, Sheeran finally confirmed on Jan. 1, 2017 that he was back when he tweeted a video of himself holding up a white sign saying, “new music coming Friday.” Throughout the week Sheeran teased his new music, tweeting videos of a blue background with two dots that turned into one line. Fans suspected from there on out that the new album would be titled “÷” (Divide), following his first two albums “+” (Plus) and “x” (Multiply). But it wasn’t for a few more weeks that these suspicions would be confirmed or denied. He continued to tease fans throughout the week, tweeting two more videos, one with the quote “the club isn’t the best place to find a lover,” and “when I was six years old I broke my leg.” Fans assumed that they were
lyrics to songs that would be released that Friday. All of the suspicions were confirmed Jan. 6. This gave hope to the many fans that were concerned music would not actually be released after Sheeran broke his promise that he would return in the fall. Sheeran dropped the two new singles to iTunes, Apple Music and Spotify. The single “Shape of You” has been streamed over 80 million times and “Castle on the Hill” over 50 million. These numbers have broken numerous Spotify records with “Shape of You” being the song with the most streams ever within a week with over 52 million streams. It also broke the record for most streams in a day with over 7 m illion, surpassing Adele’s record for “Hello” by a longshot. If that’s not enough to prove that 2017 is Sheeran’s comeback

year, “Shape of You” premiered at number one on the Billboard Top 100, which is his first ever number one song debut. He’s also the first artist to ever release two songs that both debut in the top ten. After fans got a chance to let the return sink in and listen to the singles on repeat for days,
Sheeran confirmed through social media that his third album “÷” will be released via Atlantic Records on March 3. Fans are ecstatic at the news and are dying to hear the rest of the album. Sheeran has even gained thousands of new fans along the way with the incredible amount of social media hype that his surprise posts have created. What’s next for Sheeran? A tour? Music videos? Televison performances? If “÷” does as well as his previous albums did, there is a lot in store for the singer-songwriter. “÷” is available for pre-order now through edsheeran.com or atlanticrecords.com and will be released on Spotify and Apple Music March 3.

The murky world of warehouse concerts: Underground music scene thrives in buildings that often lack basic safety features By Paul Pringle, Rong-Gong Lin Ii and Makeda Easter Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Scores of mostly young people followed the digital-age equivalent of treasure maps to faceless warehouses and old storefronts in downtown Los Angeles, a hotbed of the city’s underground music scene. Entree to the makeshift nightclubs that take shape in the buildings required message exchanges or security codes, parceled out through websites and Facebook pages. Typically, the locations were not revealed to the ticket buyers until shortly before the doors opened. The hosts of the events collected cover charges of up to $20, sold alcohol at premium prices and kept the music going well into the early morning hours. And little or none of that was legal — or safe for the revelers who crowded into spaces that sometimes lacked sprinklers, well-lighted exits and other safety features found at legitimate performance halls. The business of these illicit concerts and music parties has thrived for years in L.A. and elsewhere, despite operating in violation of fire and building ordinances.
The events generated little scrutiny from public officials until recently, when the deadliest fire in modern California history cast a tragic spotlight on the dangers. Flames swept through the Ghost Ship, an illegally converted warehouse in Oakland where a concert was underway. Thirty-six people died. Los Angeles’ record of cracking down on such concerts has been sporadic and infrequent at best, according to city data and interviews. The underground clubs present shows within blocks of L.A. Fire Department stations, but the agency has cited fewer than 10 of them in the last three years, spokesman Peter Sanders said. The city Building and Safety Department said its inspectors do not take the initiative to look for violations in areas known for the music pop-ups, such as downtown’s industrial and fashion districts. Rather, the department waits for someone to file a complaint about a specific address, said spokesman David Lara. A Times analysis of three years of department records found fewer than 25 cases — an average of about eight annually — in which the agency investigated a building owner because

of complaints of concerts or music parties. Los Angeles has not seen a catastrophe on the scale of the Ghost Ship. But experts said the city is at risk given the size
of its music scene and the large number of warehouses and other properties whose owners are willing to host concerts. “We’ve just been lucky,” said Jean M. Daly, a former prosecu-
tor for the L.A. County and San Francisco district attorney offices who specialized in fire-related cases. “We’re ripe for that situation.” see UNDERGROUND on page 21 >>

For starters, he said, they generally have too few exits to evacuate people in a fire. “That’s a disaster waiting to happen,” Rowe said. On a recent weekend, reporters for The Times attended five underground performances downtown. All were held in buildings that had no permits to operate as a music venue, according to city records and interviews. The reporters had little trouble finding websites and Facebook posts that advertised the so-called “do it yourself” events, but they could not pierce the wall of secrecy around all of them. Promoters of some performances did not respond to the reporters’ requests for tickets _ or codes used to get them _ and so the addresses of those venues could not be obtained. One Friday night concert was staged in a warehouse and manufacturing building on Ceres Avenue downtown. The location was disclosed to attendees who received a code from the promoter. Admission was $20 and a bouncer checked IDs at the door. By 1 a.m., about 200 people had filed into a high-ceilinged room to hear D.J. Prins Thomas. The space was bathed in a pink haze generated by a smoke machine and laser display. There were no sprinklers. A 20-something couple, Ellyn Maranda and Delwin Soren, who were new to L.A. from Texas, said friends led them to the event. They said they preferred underground clubs because the music was better and more varied. “I feel safe,” said Maranda. “I worry that people will think all warehouses are smokestacks. A lot of warehouses and creative spaces are run really well.” Soren said a crackdown on the scene could backfire. “If it’s pushed more underground, it’s only going to make it more dangerous,” he said. On the same night, a performance took place in a warehouse on East 7th Place. Attendees had to RSVP through a website. The fast-paced techno music played in a second-floor room, up a dim stairwell and down a long corridor. At the entry, a woman with an iPad checked everyone’s name against a list. A wooden table piled with bottles of liquor served as the cash-only bar. Sprinklers hung from the ceiling, but there were limited exits and the room was dense
with cigarette smoke. Smoldering cigarette butts were tossed on the floor. Less than two miles away, an underground benefit concert for victims of the Ghost Ship fire drew dozens of people to an aging fashion-industry storefront on South Los Angeles Street. The entrance was off a back alley, where donations of $10 were collected. Inside, attendees sat on the floor before the stage, a silver disco ball overhead, and listened meditatively to a set by Elaine Carey and Mitchell Brown. Goth electronic music followed. There were no signs of sprinklers, fire extinguishers or a second exit. Attempts to interview a man listed in public records as an owner of the building were unsuccessful. A firm named Restless Nites promoted the benefit. A principal in the firm, Eli Glad, said it takes “extremely seriously” the safety issues spotlighted by the Ghost Ship catastrophe. On the other hand, he said, the underground circuit “is not going to go away.” “Parties have been happening forever, whether they’re in legal spaces or not.” The next night brought another round of events, including a second one at the 7th Place warehouse, a recurring party called Joy Tactics. DJs pumped out techno and deep house music, and mixed drinks sold for $8. In the audience of 60 were two organizers of the event _ Martin Santiago and Ryan Sandoval. “It’s cool because it’s very small venues, so most of the time you’re close to the speakers and you see the artists playing right in front of you,” said Sandoval, 24. Santiago, 23, said they focus on safety when selecting a location for the parties. “We definitely vet the venue,” he said, describing the warehouse as “a solid place for people to come and congregate.” One of the performers who died at the Ghost Ship, Chelsea Faith Dolan, who made music under the name Cherushii, headlined an earlier Joy Tactics event, Sandoval said. On a table at the 7th Place party sat a donation jar for her and the others who died in Oakland. The owners or managers of the buildings visited by The Times variously declined to comment, could not be reached for an interview, or said they were unaware of any illegal use of their property. The manager of the Ceres Avenue building, Gary Herman Sr., said he and the owners did not know their tenant had held concerts there. He said
the tenant would be evicted if it happened again. “He does not have occupancy for that use,” Herman said. “And besides that, it’s illegal.” The tenant did not respond to interview requests. Lara, the Building and Safety Department spokesman, said warehouse and storefront owners could apply for a permit to host concerts, but would not receive one without first upgrading their properties to meet the safety standards imposed on traditional music venues. That could mean installing sprinklers, adding exits and providing disabled access, among other improvements, which likely would render the undertaking prohibitively expensive. Music promoters say money is also a reason that many underground acts do not perform at established concert houses. They usually do not have a large enough following of paying fans to land a booking at a profit-driven club. “We deal with extremely unknown artists,” said Britt Brown, who, along with his exwife, runs the L.A.-based 100 percent Silk, a record label for three of the acts that performed at the Ghost Ship the night of the fire. “Nobody’s making any money off this.” Last November, Brown said, 100 percent Silk hosted a music event at a warehouse and commercial building on McGarry Street in downtown L.A. It featured one of the Ghost Ship performers, Golden Donna. The structure has no permit for concert gatherings, according to the Building and Safety Department. Peter Schwartz, an attorney for the owners, said his clients had no idea music performances were occurring in the building, which is divided into numerous units. “We’re concerned that it’s happening,” Schwartz said. “The landlord doesn’t approve of it.” He said the owners were taking steps to ensure concerts would not be held there again. Brown downplayed 100 percent Silk’s role in the McGarry and Ghost Ship events. “We connect artists to people we may know who have access to a space,” he said. “We’re connecting people via email or posting a flier on a Facebook. ... Our involvement is like ‘hosting’ the flier.” Brown said he did not know the McGarry building had no permit for music performances. “It’s a big, concrete building,” he said. “I think it’s safe.” ___ Content from Tribune News Service.

>> KNOW from page 2 The judicial branch, or the Supreme Court, interprets and enforces the organization’s constitution, acts of the ASCSU Senate and acts of other ASCSU boards and committees; members additionally sit in on disciplinary appeals hearings, substance abuse ticket appeals, and other student-related proceedings outside the student government. The court is currently working on building a website where students can access information on an individual’s rights in situations commonly faced by college students. ASCSU governs the Student Fee Review Board, which annually oversees the allocation of more than $54 million in student fees. Student fees fund 18 different campus areas, including the Lory Student Center, Hartshorne Health Center, and Athletics operations. More information on ASCSU can be found at ascsu. colostate.edu.
>> Coaches from page 16 job or cause them to get fired possibly. In recruiting, everyone has this fear. “The world is changing, but it seems like there’s this cloud that continues to hang over sports and coaching, especially for women coaches.” That feeling is compounded by the fact that men have increasingly been hired to coach women’s teams, pushing women out of these jobs. In 1972, more than 90 percent of women’s college teams were coached by women; that number fell to 40 percent in 2015. Graham’s lawsuit against Drake is far from the first of its kind. In 2015, former Minnesota-Duluth coaches in women’s hockey, softball and women’s basketball sued the school for sexual orientation discrimination. The case remains in discovery and could go to trial this summer. Former women’s golf coach Katie Brenny won a sex and sexual orientation discrimination lawsuit against Minnesota after her duties were reduced to secretarial work when the golf director learned she is a lesbian. Former Penn State women’s basketball coach Rene Portland had a “no lesbians” policy for decades and ultimately resigned in 2007 after a former player filed a lawsuit that was settled out of court.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
>> CSU Track from page 10 this past June. At the Wyoming Power Meet in December, Hassan hit a mark of 65-07.75, which was good for an indoor personal best and it’s a mark that is currently almost two inches better than the second best toss in the nation. The No. 9 men’s team received even more recognition this week when sophomore distance runner Cole Rockhold was named the conference’s track and field athlete of the week after running a personal best of 4:08.20 in the Mile at the Potts Invitational in Boulder last weekend. Rockhold’s altitude adjusted time of 4:02.15 sits as the fourth-best time in the mile across the country. The men’s team has the preseason ranking and the early success, but now it is all about carrying that momentum into the Indoor Conference Championships in Albuquerque on February 23-25, as the team looks to improve on their third place finish from a season ago. “I think we are sitting in a good spot right now where we have a well-rounded group across the board.” Price said. “I am really excited to see what this team can do. There’s definitely some good competition in our conference, but from what I’ve seen from our team, there is no reason why we shouldn’t be in contention for a podium finish.”
While the Men’s team is off to a strong start both on the track and in the rankings, it is the CSU Women’s team that still holds the Mountain West hardware after winning the last two outdoor championships, as well as last year’s indoor conference title. The defending champions bring back plenty of firepower in indoor conference champions such as senior Emily Romo (400m), senior Isobel Brown (High Jump) and senior throws stud Aaliyah Pete. Pete, a nine time All-Mountain West performer, is the three-time defending champion in the outdoor shot put and a two-time defending champion at indoors in the discipline. Senior sprinter Lorenda Holston emerged as another key member on the women’s side, after she took home Mountain West track and field female athlete of the week honors after last weekend’s meet at the Potts Invitational. With an altitude adjusted time of 8.20 in the preliminaries of the 60m hurdles, Holston broke the CSU school record, and her time currently places her seventh in the country and second best all-time in the conference in the event. The Rams return to action this weekend at the Deloss Dodds Invitational & Multis in Manhattan, Kansas. Eric Wolf can be reached at sports@collegian.com.
