Protesters rally in front of Sen. Cory Gardner’s office

By Tony Villalobos May @TheTonyVM

Colorado State University students and Fort Collins residents lined Shields Street waving signs in support of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Fort Collins for Progress, Alianza NORCO and Indivisible NOCO hosted the DACA solidarity rally in front of Senator Gardner’s office on Tuesday in response to the program’s cut by the Trump administrations on Tuesday.

The DACA solidarity rally is the most recent rally to be

held in Fort Collins over the last year, including police protests, immigration rallies and the Fort Collins’ sit-lie ban.

Around 200 people attended the demonstration, including Fort Collins residents aging from newborns to elderly citizens, students from the University of Northern Colorado and Colorado District 11 representative Jonathan Singer, to show their support for the DACA program.

“I think it’s important for all of us from all walks of life to support our kids,” Singer said.

“They are Colorado’s kids.”

The recent change with DACA is said to affect thousands of individuals across the nation, Singer said.

“When you have 17,000 members of our state that are feeling under attack and like they can be whisked away, if not tomorrow in six months, “ Singer said. “I think it’s important for everybody, not just average citizens to say, ‘We represent you, and we are going to do everything we can to protect you.”

DACA is an American immigration policy founded by the Obama administration

that provides immigrant children and young people that provides protection from deportation through renewable two-year periods.

The policy was originally created to acknowledge that many immigrant students had been raised in the United States.

According to an email from CSU President Tony Frank, about 189 students at CSU will be impacted by President Trump’s decision to end DACA. Andrew Bondi, a Colorado State University graduate student and Fort Collins for Progress’s Organizing

Banners displayed near campus on move-in day cause concern

By Colin Raunig @colinraunig

Banners reading “Daughter Day Care,” “Thank You 4 Your Sons & Daddies,” and “Moms Drink For Free” hung in front of houses located along Laurel Avenue and Shields Street during freshman move in day on Aug. 16.

Dean of Students Jody Donovan requested that the banners, which were hung by Colorado State University students, be taken down since the banners were deemed offensive and sexist in nature.

According to students who live in one house along Shields, a CSU official from Westfall Hall requested that the students take the banners down an hour or two after they hung the banners.

The students in the house, who asked to remain anonymous, refused to remove the banners. A Fort Collins police officer arrived next in response to a local complaint, and the students took down the banner. Donovan arrived after the police officer left, a sign that read, “You Honk, We Drink” still remained in the house’s front yard.

The CSU administration has taken proactive approaches over the recent years in response to what it views as problematic signs

that are displayed on move-in day.

Donovan heads what she calls the “Dean’s Team,” comprised of herself, Associate Dean of Students Dr. Craig Chesson and Assistant Dean of Students John Henderson to respond to the problematic signs as well as to prevent their display. This year, they spoke with nearly 60 owners on Laurel and Shields.

Donovan also addressed a letter to property owners along Laurel and Shields, dated August 11, 2017. In her letter, Donovan advised the property owners that properties along Laurel and Shields displayed offensive signs targeting women during the previous fall move-in periods.

“While the signs certainly are within the boundaries of free speech and are on private property, for parents and family members moving their students into an unfamiliar community, these signs signal that Fort Collins is not a safe or welcoming community,” Donovan wrote in the letter. “These signs can give the wrong impression and may indicate to some that sexual assault and harassment are accepted behaviors in our community, on and off campus.”

Donovan encouraged residents to speak to those who were

displaying the signs, display positive signs and to call her directly.

When the signs appeared on Aug. 13, residents sent emails and made phone calls to the president’s office, vice president’s office, Residence Life, and to Donovan.

Juan Caro, the chairman of the CSU Conservative Interest Group, has advocated for the students involved in the incident.

Earlier this year, Caro lobbied for Senate Bill 62 to eliminate free speech zones on Colorado college campuses and allow students to express their ideas in all public areas of their campus. Gov. Hickenlooper signed the bill, which went into effect Aug. 9. “(Dean Donovan) should not be going out of her way onto private property to influence the decisions of private citizens,” Caro said. “You have students who want to express something, and you have the University going out of their way, by any means possible, to silence them. They will do whatever it takes to silence students to stop them from expressing their views.”

Caro said that the school is reaching outside of its jurisdiction and that this incident is indicative of a larger, national debate of free speech, both on and off college campuses.

“What they were saying is not important at all,” Caro said. “But, they have a right to say it, and that is important.”

Donovan said that the University was exercising its free speech to talk with the individuals of the properties who put up the signs.

“We didn’t force them to take them down,” Donovan said. “We asked if they would take them down, but we didn’t require them to. We want to make sure we are a welcoming and supporting community, and those signs send a different message.”

Similar signs at other institutions have been the source of national controversy in the last few years. In 2015, Old Dominion University’s Sigma Nu fraternity was suspended by its national office after three sexually suggestive banners were hung from the group’s off-campus house during the weekend freshmen moved onto campus.

ODU and the fraternity became embroiled in a debate about whether the signs were protected free speech or encouraged a culture of sexual assault.

Monica Rivera, the director of the WGAC at CSU, said that the signs encourage rape-supportive culture. 58 percent of incoming CSU students report-

ed some experience with sexual violence before stepping foot on campus, according to 3,819 student responses in a survey the WGAC conducted during the 2017 Ram Orientation. Banners such as the ones displayed, Rivera said, terrify new students who may feel on the receiving end of predatory behavior.

“That is their very first day moving onto campus,” Rivera said. “I’m terrified of bees, and if someone had a giant banner that said, ‘We’re going to release a giant beehive on you,’ it would hit me (with) the physiological impact of that stress and trauma.”

According to Rivera, the banners make a large impact due to the percentage of sexual assaults.

“You have a group of students who have a heightened fear of sexual violence and the environment in which that sexual violence is likely to happen, in that narrow window of time, is being broadcast on banners directly across the street from where they’re living,” Rivera said. “It’s not just rape supportive culture vs. free speech. I think that there’s a specific recipe of context that we need to think about.”

DACA >> from page 1

to come out in support of either the DREAMERS or the BRIDGE Acts, which would provided support for those from DACA. On Tuesday afternoon, Gardner tweeted he would support the DREAM Act. alongside Senator Michael Bennet.

Not everyone affected by the change in DACA is a minor, with some of those affected having gone through the program throughout their childhood and now in colleges or the work force.

“I don’t even want to call

them kids because we got some people that have completely finished all of their college work and are working here in the United States,” Bondi said. “(We want to) help support them and get them integrated into our society as a whole. They’ve been here the entire time, (and) there’s no reason we should be sending them home.”

Bondi said many people affected by the DACA decision have lived in the United States for years, with many growing up in the U.S., despite not being citizens.

“For the vast majority of them, home is here,” Bondi said.

“They don’t know anywhere else, they haven’t grown up anywhere else. Their culture is here, they belong here.”

The decision for DACA has affected those beyond immigrants, and some international students attended the rally in support.

“It’s all that I believe in, DACA is human rights,” said Raghda Eldeeb, a CSU international student and Student Affairs and higher education major from Egypt. “I think people don’t see the gravity of DACA on an

economic level. They think it’s just people staying here taking their jobs, taking their schools, taking their admissions, but it’s more than that.”

Eldeeb said that immigrants are a vital part to the community in both the national and local levels.

“They contribute to the economy, with their talents, with everything,” Eldeeb said. “Staying here is a benefit for the U.S … it is everything I believe in.”

Eldeeb sported a sign that read, “Resist, this is your home,” from a song in her native language.

Eldeeb believes that because of her degrees in student affairs and education, representation of different groups is important, especially in situations like DACA. “I hope to show solidarity to marginalized identities in the U.S., so we can be one community,” Eldeeb said. “We are all affected by the system, one way or another.

It’s our social responsibility in this community to support each other.”

Police warn of bear sighting in Fort Collins Tony Frank responds to

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

A bear was spotted roaming the City of Fort Collins Tuesday afternoon and was last seen on the third block of Cherry Street, according to a tweet from the Fort Collins Police Department.

FCPD tweeted at 2:45 p.m. on Sept. 5 that the bear was spotted to inform the community. The tweet warned people to leave the bear alone and avoid approaching it since bears can be dangerous.

“We’ve seen people try to get as close as they can to try to get a picture,” said Dustin Wier, a police officer in Fort Collins. “We don’t

want people approaching them, just let them be.”

Wildlife wanders into the City of Fort Collins on occasion. FCPD encourages people to report wildlife sitings, in case they pose any threat, and the wildlife can be removed without harm.

According to Officer Weir, FCPD sent the tweet to let residents know of the potential wildlife danger in the area.

There is currently no additional information about the bear available.

This is a developing story.

The Collegian will update this article with more information as it becomes available.

looming DACA decision

COURTESY OF JIM BOUNDS/RALEIGH NEWS

The future of dreamers on the Colorado State University campus was placed in jeopardy on Tuesday when President Donald Trump announced he would end the program.

CSU President Tony Frank sent a campus-wide email in response to the decision of the United States Attorney General to rescind Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.

DACA is a program from the Obama administration designed to aid nearly 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. Student recipients of DACA are often referred to as “dreamers.”

Frank’s email echoed the voices of some of those on the Colorado State campus, who feel that dreamers have every right to be here.

Sofia Gonzalez, an undeclared sophomore student, said she wants to ensure she is hearing accurate information about whether or not the DACA program will ultimately be rescinded. “(If DACA is rescinded, it will be) very unfortunate, actually, and I know it impacts a lot of people,” Gonzalez said.

Frank’s email addressed the vitality of DACA students on campus.

“They, in many ways, embody the spirit of the Land Grant mission – to provide access to an excellent education to anyone with the ability and drive to earn it,” Frank wrote. “We are deeply concerned at the potential loss to our country and to these students personally if their educational dreams are cut

short.”

Rallies popped up all over the state Tuesday in light of the impending decision, calling for senators to stand with said dreamers and to defend DACA. Frank joined a host of university presidents Tuesday, calling on senators and standing with their DACA students.

“To that end, we have been in touch directly with our Congressional leadership, lending our voice in support of this program, and we have also been working through our national higher education organizations, which have been strong champions of DACA,” Frank wrote.

Frank wrote that Colorado has rightly placed importance on retaining and graduating DACA students, both at the high school and collegiate level. Frank’s email stated 189 DACA students currentl attend CSU. “Certainly, the benefit to our campus community from the presence of these strong, hard-working, and talented student leaders is also significant,” Frank wrote.

Gonzalez said Frank’s emails are often reassuring.

“I was really upset about (the Free Speech Wall on the Plaza) but Tony Frank sent out an email and I (thought) ... ‘our school really does help us and sees that this is an issue, and they’re here to support us,” Gonzalez said.

Taking back the swastika will not help LGBTQ

By Madison Marcy @Maddy_marcy Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by the Collegian or its editorial board.

On July 12, 2017, the clothing brand KA Design revealed some of their new merchandise in a Facebook video entitled “The New Swastika.” The video brandished what they considered a re-appropriated version of the symbol, plastered against a rainbow background with the words “Peace,” “Love” and “Zen” under the design.

Many have spoken out against the act including Arsen Ostrovsky, a Israeli Jewish congress member. Re-appropriation, while a powerful tool for activist groups can be offensive when used incorrectly.

Re-appropriation is the cultural process that reclaims terms or symbols that were previously used to harm a certain group of people. Many groups have attempted to reclaim or re-appropriate words or symbols based on race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation. For example, the word “slut” describing a woman who sleeps with a lot of men has never been successfully re-appropriated to empower a woman’s choice. The most prominent attempt at re-appropriation of the “N” word. While the word is still intensely stigmatized among the general

population, it is used heavily among the millennial generation of black people.

The LGBT community specifically has tried to re-appropriate the word “queer.”

Starting in the 1990’s, many LGBT people began to use it as a label for themselves to be proud of reclaiming it for themselves.

Previously, it was an offensive term for any LGBT individual, now the word has now become a personal identifier for many. The word “queer” is now used in and out of the LGBT community to refer to them as one entity.

Not every instance of re-appropriation has the positive turn out like that of the 1990’s LGBT movements. KA designs should not re-appropriate the swastika.

While the word “queer” has a past filled with discrimination and violence, it doesn’t even scratch the surface of the horrible murderous past associated with the swastika as a symbol.

The difference between the use of the word “queer” and the use of the swastika is the association of the symbol with murder.

Millions of lost lives were lost under the swastika, and it represents the ideals of one of the most evil regimes in history.

The design was pulled on the TeeSpring website, KA Design themselves have still not issued an apology or official statement that has not been deleted from their Facebook page.

The lack of an apology not only fueled the intense backlash on social media but made me recoil at the idea that someone seemingly felt no remorse for their actions.

An apology for something of this caliber doesn’t dismiss the action, but rather acknowledges the wrong doing, and shows that the company is willing to change their behavior.

“‘Peace with Swastika’!

Obscene & disgusting!

US clothing design co. @teespring selling these Swastika branded shirts” ARSEN OSTROVSKY @OSTROV_A

Re-appropriation, in this case failed to accomplish reclaiming a symbol for a more positive use. While the idea of reclaiming a symbol for positivity isn’t a bad idea, associating the swastika with the LGBT community is an incredibly misguided course of action. The mass killing of LGBT persons during the Holocaust makes

it impossible to try to re-appropriate.

Plastering it against a rainbow background with words of encouragement underneath do not erase its murderous past.

The swastika, while having a separate religious context, was changed into a symbol of hate by Adolf Hitler. Hitler rotated the original swastika 45 degrees, plastered it against a red background, and used it to represent his corrupt morals and desire to represent the Aryan race. Using this symbol, he imprisoned and murdered millions.

The swastika should be treated with the same disdain Hitler himself receives.

It is more than a symbol of hatred, it is a representation of the mass genocide of millions of Jewish people and the severe corruption of a government. KA Design has a responsibility to apologize and remedy the situation, but the attempt to reappropriate the swastika brings up a much larger problem.

If there is a line where re-appropriation isn’t okay, I believe the swastika very distinctly crosses it. Re-appropriation does not have the ability to erase the horrible past associated with the swastika or the modern view of the symbol.

CSU, national leadership failing in times of crisis Leta McWilliams @LetaMcWilliams

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by the Collegian or its editorial board.

People in power seem to forget that with great power comes great responsibility. Being in a place of power or celebrity status comes with the responsibility of leading, but also following the example of what is being asked. A leader cannot be respected if they do not do as they say they will.

Doing the right thing should be the top priority among leaders,

and so often it does not seem like the case. It seems they care more about fulfilling their egos and maintaining a certain persona for the public eye to see, rather than actually benefiting the people they’re leading.

Though President Trump has done his job of physically going to help the people of Houston, he is still not doing enough. Proclaiming a national day of prayer is just as useful as trying to soak up the hurricane with a dishrag, and he only created it to keep a proreligious game face. Instead of continuing to use our resources to help hurricane victims, Trump believes now is the time to try to dismantle DACA. Instead of pushing for the wellbeing of our fellow Americans who are suffering because of the hurricane, Trump is using our government’s resources on something that will

divide America more.

One could say that Trump is using his own money and resources to help Houston, but he actually hasn’t made any donations yet. On Thursday, Sarah Huckabee Sanders stated the president would donate $1 million from his personal fortune, but he has yet to follow through on this pledge.

Here at Colorado State University, our own president is not doing enough to ensure the wellbeing of our community as a whole. On Aug. 19, a paper noose was found in one of the residence halls on campus and it was speculated to have been a hate crime targeted at a Black RA in the residence hall. The next day, President Tony Frank and Vice President of Student Affairs Blanche Hughes denounced the act through an all-hall meeting.

From there, it took President Frank almost two weeks to make a public announcement about what happened, only after the event received so much publicity from the Collegian’s story and the video that was posted on Facebook Resident Life is working on promoting the University’s newly adopted principles of community.

Administration should have done more to find the suspect and also condemn these kinds of displays.

The noose wasn’t addressed for so long because of public relations purposes. The university wanted to keep it quiet because people wouldn’t want to come to CSU if it seemed like it was a place of discrimination. Instead of owning up to the problem and putting resources into preventing future issues, the University tried to keep it hushed, and only when they were unsuccessful did they

address it further.

“Doing the right thing should be the top priority among leaders, and so often it does not seem like the case.”

People in power need to set aside their egos and public relations goals. Leadership needs to put the people they affect over the organization’s need to save face, both nationally and here at home.

Bobo wants to get Rashaad Boddie more involved for CSU football

By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_

Through Colorado State’s first two games of the 2017 season, running back Rashaad Boddie has been one of the most effective rushers on the team.

His 6.9 yards per carry are far and away the most among any running back on the team.

Starters Dalyn Dawkins and Izzy Matthews are averaging an underwhelming 3.8 and 3.1 YPC, respectively. Boddie’s longest rush on the year of 24 yards doubles that of both starters, showing his ability for big-play potential.

But from a usage standpoint, Boddie continues to play second fiddle to the more experienced options in the backfield. His 12 total touches on offense rank third among running backs behind Matthews (20) and Dawkins (33). During his weekly press conference on Monday afternoon, head coach Mike Bobo recognized that he needs to find a way to get Boddie more involved.

“To be honest and to be critical of myself, I’ve gotta’ do a better job of doing things that he can do to get him a chance to touch the ball more,” Bobo said. “Sometimes you’re scared to have a young back in there because of

protection issues or he might not understand everything that you’re doing offensively. But he understands how to run the ball.”

Boddie has demonstrated that ability to run the ball through two games. In the Rams’ first game against Oregon State, Boddie saw his first collegiate action at the beginning of the second quarter. In a span of five plays, Boddie carried the ball four times for 19 yards.

Boddie was then absent until the middle of the fourth quarter when he rushed the ball four consecutive plays for 37 yards.

Bobo demonstrated his willingness to use the freshman back during limited chunks of action.

During last Friday’s Rocky Mountain Showdown, Boddie was again used in a limited capacity. On the team’s first possession

of the second quarter, Boddie recorded four rushes for 33 yards including a 24-yard dash that put the Rams in position to score their only points of the evening.

After the strong series, Boddie did not record a touch for the remainder of the game.

Bobo mentioned that Boddie must continue developing into a complete running back who

can help in every facet of the game, not just running the football. Among other things, that can include pass-blocking, receiving and understanding the intricacies of an offense.

That said, Bobo also noted that playing into Boddie’s strengths as a runner can make calling plays for him easier.

“We’ve got to make sure that

he’s out there,” Bobo said. “And when he’s out there, I know he’s there. We don’t have to have the whole playbook at my disposal; I can do some things that Rashaad and (running backs) coach (Bryan) Applewhite feel comfortable that he can handle assignment wise.”

Next level Rams: Former CSU CSU football secures players cut over the weekend commitment from 3-star

Labor Day weekend was an unfriendly one for many former Colorado State football standouts. With NFL teams announcing their initial 53-man rosters for the 2017 season, many notable former CSU players experienced the harsh reality of being cut.

For the first time in the history of the National Football League, organizations were able to hold up to 90 players on a roster before final cuts on Saturday, Sept. 2. At the end of the process, five former Rams were cut from their respective rosters.

Rashard Higgins, Garrett Grayson, Kapri Bibbs, Kevin Davis and Crockett Gillmore were all waived before the end of the day Saturday.

Ohio defensive end

By Justin Michael @JustinTMichael

Despite losing to Colorado for the third year in a row, it was not all bad news for the Ram faithful this weekend, as CSU football picked up a commitment from St. Francis De Sales High School (Ohio) defensive end Brandon Derrow.

The 6-foot-4, 243 pound defensive end announced his commitment to CSU on Twitter amid the excitement of the Rocky Mountain Showdown. Derrow tweeted a screen-grab of a note thanking all those that helped him along the way and all of the coaches that recruited him.

The note ends with Derrow writing, “After much thought and talk with the closest people in my life, I have decided to continue my academic and football career at Colorado State University! I want to thank Coach (Mike) Bobo, coach (Jamie) Bryant and coach (Ricky) Logo for the incredible opportunity. I’m excited to be a part of the family and looking forward to what is to come.”

Listed as a 3-star prospect

by Scout and 247Sports, Derrow holds offers from Division 1 programs all around the country, including Rutgers, Western Kentucky, Western Michigan and Youngstown State.

As a junior for SFHS, the Columbus, OH. native recorded one sack and four total tackles in two games played at the varsity level (2016). The Stallions finished the season 13-1 and ranked No. 141 nationally. In 2017, SFHS is 2-0 to start the season, winning those games by a combined score of 84-14.

NCAA rules prohibit coaches from commenting on specific individuals before they have signed a national letter of intent. Derrow will be eligible to do so on national signing day, which takes

place on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2018.

With the commitment from Derrow, Colorado State’s 2018 recruiting class is now up to 18.

The Rams have secured verbal commitments from players in nine different states, including California, Florida, Louisiana, Ohio and Texas.

Along with recruiting all over the country, the Rams have been able to secure a nice variety of players. Ten of CSU’s 18 commitments come from the defensive side of the ball, while the other eight are classified as athletes or offensive players.

CSU volleyball moves into top 25, Murphy-Pauletto earns Hillyer earns defensive award weekly offensive award

By Austin White @ajwrules44

An undefeated 4-0 week has pushed the Colorado State volleyball team into the No. 25 spot in the latest AVCA coach’s poll that came out Monday morning. This marks the Rams’ first time in the top 25 this season after receiving points but falling short in the season’s first two polls.

The Rams started the week with a sweep of Northern Colorado last Tuesday despite struggling mightily in their service game.

CSU then travelled to Tallahassee, Fla. to compete in the Home2Suites Invite at Florida State University. Those serving mistakes were apparent in their first match against Texas Christian as the Rams dropped the first two sets to the Horned Frogs. After that second set against TCU, the Rams never looked back as they dominated the Horned Frogs the rest of the match in the service game and then rolled that performance into their next two matches.

Following the win Friday morning, the Rams took care

of the University of North Carolina-Asheville with their second sweep victory in the week later that afternoon.

Florida State was up next and they had no answer for the Rams’ outside hitters Jasmine Hanna and Breana Runnels. The duo combined for 30 kills to help propel CSU to their third sweep of the week and give them a 4-0 record for the week.

Despite taking the match, CSU still left the tournament with some concerns as the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week, Kirstie Hillyer, went down with an injury in the second set against the Seminoles.

Hillyer did not play the rest of the match but sophomore Paulina Hougaard-Jensen stepped up and led the team in blocks against the Seminoles.

Hougaard-Jensen’s play was much needed for the Rams, but Hillyer’s injury gave a sour end to a great week by the redshirt sophomore. Hillyer had 20 total blocks in the Rams’ four matches which worked out to be 1.54 blocks per set. She also added in 35 kills on a .582 hitting percentage.

The award is the second weekly award Hillyer has earned in her young college career. She registered her second double-double of the year against TCU, in which she had 10 blocks and 13 kills.

The Rams return home this week to host their own tournament and will play Ball State and No. 16 Michigan on Friday at 12 p.m. and 6 p.m., respectively. They will finish out the week on Sunday when they square off with Idaho State at 12 p.m.

Austin White can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Colorado State forward Ally Murphy-Pauletto was named Moutain West Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week Monday afternoon.

The week was highlighted

by Murphy-Pauletto’s threegoal, six-shot performance against New Mexico State last Friday. Just days after she made history as the first Ram to record a hat trick, the freshman forward is in the record books again as the first CSU women’s soccer player to receive a weekly individual award from the Mountain West Conference.

Murphy-Pauletto’s big week began in the 37th minute of last Friday’s game when she scored her first career collegiate goal on a shot assisted by Karli Eheart.

She went on to score a go-ahead goal in the 52nd minute and finished off the hat trick in the 89th minute on a tally assisted

by Alyssa Yoshida.

The Boulder native is used to scoring goals, but her perfor-

mance last Friday may have been the most exciting of her career.

“I’m pretty excited. I’ve done it a few times (scored a hat trick), but never like that, in an atmosphere like this, with my whole team right there,” Murphy-Pauletto said in a statement following the game against New Mexico State.

Murphy-Pauletto and the rest of the Rams wound up converting five goals against New Mexico State, shattering the program’s previous record of three goals scored.

In Sunday’s 2-1 loss to New Hampshire, the freshman registered two shots for the Rams.

Murphy-Pauletto now leads the Rams in goals with three, shots on goal with six and is tied with freshman Taylor Steinke for the team lead in total shots at nine.

Murphy-Pauletto and the Rams will be in action again next Friday when they take on SIU-Edwardsville in Edwardsville, Ill. at 6 p.m.

OtterShop flagship Program strengthens science store opens in Old Town community, empowers women

By Sarah Ehrlich @SarahEhrlich96

Old Town has been home to Otter Products’ corporate office for years. As of this summer, Old Town is home to Otter Products’ exclusive flagship store as well.

The Fort Collins-based business, Otter Products, began in 1998. The company sells coolers and other hardy outdoor supplies, but they are best know for their cell phone accessories including OtterBox and LifeProof products.

The new store, called Otter Shop, is housed in a 2,500 square foot space next to Walrus Ice Cream and Rio Grande Mexican restaurant. This location is currently the only OtterShop store that exists.

Otter Shop General Manager, Matt Worley, said he is excited to bring OtterProducts into the community in a more hands-on way.

“We are excited to share our stories and tell people how our products came to be and how much fun we have,” Worley said. “We spend a lot of time with our engineers and the people who designed and build our products to get all the backstories on them so people know where they came from and how it is designed to work.”

At Otter Shop, customers can find displays of coolers, tumblers, dry boxes and vaults full of their signature phone cases.

Additionally, the store is offering a new service where people can choose custom images to print on their phone cases. While at Otter Shop, customers can also lounge in swing chairs and take selfies in a full-sized Jeep inside the store.

Kristen Tatti, Otter Shop communications manager, said Otter Shop is more about an experience than a transaction.

“While you will find all OtterBox and LifeProof products

available there, you’ll also get to learn more about the company and our culture,” Tatti said.

“We even have an entire section dedicated to OtterCares, a private foundation that strives to teach youth about entrepreneurship and philanthropy.”

Currently, the store is collaborating with CSU to provide Rams-themed merchandise so fans can show off their school spirit. Otter Products is also planning to collaborate with many events in the community, including ones at the new on-campus stadium.

Otter Shop ■ Location: 151 W. Mountain Ave. ■ Hours: Daily 10 a.m. - 8 p.m.

“I have always appreciated the quality of OtterBox phone cases,” said Cheyenne Bell, a senior Ag Business major at CSU. “It has held through those crazy nights in Old Town, and now I am looking forward to seeing all the other products.”

Worley said Otter Products values community and works to give back to those who support them. For example, the Otter Shop is designed to be easily cleared away so the store can be turned into a space for art shows, beer launches or other unique events to bring the community in Fort Collins a little closer.

“Everything this company does, we hope it helps the community,” Worley said. “We want to see young people grow to become philanthropists, entrepreneurs, inventors. We are not focused on becoming some ‘mega company,’ we just want to give back to the community.”

After the 2016 presidential election, a small group of female scientists in Boulder took a pledge to create a more inclusive and diverse scientific community.

They soon began to gather momentum for their cause, and what started as a grassroots initiative to amass 500 supporters quickly became an international network of more than 20,000 women scientists dedicated to standing up for their scientific ideals.

The group, 500 Women Scientists, was born and over the last nine months they have worked to empower women, increase scientific literacy and advocate for science in the political realm.

Local chapters of the organization, called Pods, allow women to meet and discuss scientific issues pertinent to their particular region.

The Fort Collins Pod, led by Dr. Jessica Metcalf, Dr. Elizabeth McCullagh and Dr. Megan Machmuller, has gathered four times since the election. They have focused largely on scientific outreach thus far, participating in an annual event called

Expand Your Horizons, which brings science workshops to middle school-aged girls in the community.

“The whole point is for girls to see women in leadership positions doing what we do every day,” said McCullagh, a postdoctrate at CU Anschutz.

They have also participated in a letter-writing campaign dubbed “I Heart the EPA” to pay their respects to EPA scientists, whose work has famously been stifled since President Trump took office.

The Fort Collins Pod kicked off the 2017-2018 academic year with a meeting last Wednesday to strategize for the coming year.

Machmuller began the meeting by charging the attendees to think about where their motivations lie and to lay out certain goals so as a group they can figure out what they can do.

The group hopes to continue focusing on outreach but also recruiting new members and considering various initiatives for which they might advocate over the coming year.

One of those issues is parental leave for postdocs working at CSU. McCullagh, cradling her 11-week-old daughter in her

arms, offered her perspective on parental leave as a postdoc.

“Basically, you have to take disability to get maternity leave,” McCullagh said. “And, not many people are eligible for it because you have to sign up for it a year ahead of time. I’m a state employee, but I think that’s something we can do something about.”

McCullagh said taking action is key.

“We could petition the state and say ‘look, if you want women to be more involved in science, let’s come up with a real family leave policy that benefits people.

It’s something that’s actually really easy for you guys to give, and doesn’t hurt you much,’” McCullagh said.

The group plans to collaborate with other similar organizations such as Graduate Women in Science and the Standing Committee on the Status of Women Faculty to advance their cause and continue offering support to women across scientific fields in Fort Collins.

Contact Machmuller at megan.machmuller@colostate. edu to learn how to get involved with the Fort Collins Pod. Casey Setash can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

CSU reacts: The best buildings on campus

By Miranda Moses @mirandasrad

Colorado Sate University has an absolutely phenomenal campus. From the breathtaking view of the foothills from the luscious green IM Fields, to the tall billowing trees of The Oval, to the bustling plaza full of beautiful people, CSU’s campus is aesthetically something else. But, while The Oval may be “the most Instagrammed location on campus,” according to every tour anyone has ever been on at CSU and the new stadium may be pretty okay, everyone knows the real hype around the campus centers around the buildings. Here is a list of a few of the most beloved buildings at CSU that truly capture the school’s beauty and essence.

Clark A There is nothing like waking up for an early morning class and immediately sitting in a windowless room with 300 people in chairs that refuse to let you leave them unless to person sitting next to you also moves their chair at the same time. Clark A provides that luxurious experience. Every CSU student has the pleasure to spend time in this building, surely creating unforgettable experiences in the giant lecture halls with unreliable

and extremely varying temperatures that make class absolutely invigorating. Will it feel like a vast icy tundra today or will be drown in what feels like wet Florida heat as we click in with our iClicker for participation points? Will the projector work, or will everything display as various shades of blue? No one knows, and it is awesome.

“Clark A is like the Bud Light of buildings,” said senior fermentation major Luke Larson. “The classes are easy to chug but suck.”

Clark C If there is anything classy in this world, we know that it is carpet, and Clark C has a lot of it. Coupled with the building’s exquisite painted brick walls, each classroom has a quant, prison-cell vibe, and the “Please Don’t Bring in Any Food or Drink, Even Water!” signs hung everywhere tie every room together perfectly in a way that would have the Property Brothers shaking in their boots. The room numbers are set up in a random, scattered fashion, which makes finding class or a professor’s office a fun little four-hour activity you can do between classes.

“I’ve had many classes in Clark C, and it is indeed quite scary in there,” said junior

psychology and Spanish student Berkley Klein. “Every time you turn a corner, it looks exactly the same as before you turned the corner.”

Old Rockwell There is something that is just so fun about going up a flight of stairs and still being on the first floor. The Old Rockwell building provides this experience to students to help simulate the panic they will feel going into the adult world. This is another building that likes to keep students on their toes with the temperature, as well, and the thermostat has a phenomenal range between 5 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

Student Jason Mishler is a snior business major who often reflects on his years within the building.

“Walking into Old Rock is kind of like taking a time machine to the 1950s,” Mishler said. “I gotta give it to them, though; the new water fountains they put in a few years ago make it look a lot more modern.”

Allison, Newsom, and The Towers Many freshman students hope and pray to live in one of the community-style dorms on campus and then are heartbroken to find out that they have been assigned dorms

like Corbett or Laurel Village their freshmen year.

Nothing really compares to the refreshing detergent weed-smell of Allison Hall when someone does laundry and forgets a nug in their pocket or that one bathroom in Newsom with pink tile.

The Towers are progressive pieces of architecture, with their consistently functioning elevators and large, breezy hallways.

Daniel Masnada, a mechanical engineering major who lived in Allison Hall as a transfer student, said his experience in a community dorm was unique.

“Yeah, screw Allison,” Masnada said. “I was never there because it sucked and everything was broken.”

FOOD & DINING

The Gold Leaf Collective offers first fully vegan menu in Fort Collins

By Maddie Wright @maddierwright

Locally-sourced, plantbased and sustainability-focused are three ways to describe The Gold Leaf Collective.

The Gold Leaf Collective is the only fully vegan restaurant in Fort Collins. Founder and owner, Taylor Smith, partnered with Leaf Seed Catering Co. and Laurel Street Bakery to open the business last April; fittingly, they opened on Earth Day. “It is our solution to a broken food system,” Smith said.

Smith said The Gold Leaf Collective does not hold accounts with any major food distribution company.

“If it doesn’t come locally, it doesn’t come here,” Smith said.

Junior English and political science double major, Crickette Miller, is The Gold Leaf Collective customer that enjoys the restaurant’s

community mindedness.

“I actually really like local stuff,” Miller said. “It just feels better.”

Smith said that The Gold Leaf Collective’s menu is ever-changing as a result of the local ingredients.

“That’s what local means; sometimes farmers get hit with a storm and our menu has to change because of that,” Smith said.

In addition to sourcing locally, The Gold Leaf Collective gives back to the community with its Charity of the Month program. On their breakfast and lunch menu, they have an option called “Chef’s Plate” and the “Preferential.” If you order one of these, $2 from that meal gets donated to that month’s charity.

“I think that’s great, if they’re in a position where their business is doing well enough that their in a position where they can give back to the community like that,” Miller said.

The Gold Leaf Collection ■ Location: 120 W. Laurel St. ■ Hours: Sunday - 7 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Monday - closed Tuesday - 7 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Wednesday - 7 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Thursday - 7 a.m. - 9 p.m.

Friday - 7 a.m. - 9 p.m.

Saturday - 7 a.m. - 9 p.m.

Manager and server, Brianna Long, has been with the restaurant since spring.

“In my old job, I was complaining because I didn’t respect the food or their methods,” Long said. “I thought it was atrocious how much paper and styrofoam they were using.

Gold Leaf Collective is exactly the opposite of that.”

A common conversation surrounding vegan diets is whether it provides enough protein. Smith said The Gold Leaf Collective serves a wide range of protein including grain and seitan products.

“I think we have an epidemic of over proteining,” Smith said.

“You don’t need that much protein unless you’re trying to bulk up, and protein without other vital nutrients is useless.”

Smith said vegan diets are important to the world.

“Even one person going vegan, or plant-based, or whatever you want to call it has an impact,” Smith said. “... The animal agriculture industry is breaking this planet and it’s really distressing. Those who know have a responsibility to act.”

Lincoln Center to host internationallyacclaimed banjo duo

By Jonny Rhein @jonnyrhein

The husband and wife banjo duo, Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn, will be playing at the Lincoln Center Thursday, Sept. 7.

Both musicians are acclaimed around the globe.

Fleck is regarded as one of the greatest banjo players in the world. He has 15 Grammy wins and 30 total nominations. He is well-known for his band Béla Fleck and the Flecktones.

Washburn has a deep connection with China where she independently tours regularly.

For 17 years, she has been working to build China and United States relations through music. She plays with bands such as Uncle Earl and The Wu-Force, and has presented her own theatrical production.

After Fleck and Washburn met and fell in love, the two banjo players played one off shows periodically. It was not until recently that they released their debut self-titled album which won them a Grammy for Best Folk Album. They have since been touring internationally.

Fleck incorporates different styles of music into his bluegrass roots such as jazz and classical while Washburn mixes in Far East sounds and culture. According to their bio, “Whether at home, on stage or on record, their deep bond, on top of the way their distinct musical personalities and banjo styles interact, makes theirs a picking partnership unlike any other on the planet.”

Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn ■ Performing at the Lincoln

Center Thursday, Sept. 7 at 7:30 p.m.

■ Tickey Options are available on the Lincoln Center’s website.

Beginner’s guide to beer in FoCo

By Sarah Ehrlich @SarahEhrlich96

Have you ever found yourself sitting at the bar with friends, staring blankly at the drink menu? You are not sure what the difference is between a lager and an ale is, and there is a good chance you will end up with something you do not really want to drink. If this sounds familiar, continue reading. Here is a beginner’s guide to beer in Fort Collins: Which came first? Bread or beer? This question gives you an idea of how long beer as been on this Earth. Since then, people have mastered brewing and have turned it into art.

“I consider what I do an art form,” said brewer Zach Wilson.

“We get inspired by a moment in time, and we try to build flavors off that moment. I always get inspired by the changing of the leaves, so you can expect a new September brew that represents the changing of green colors to brown and gold.”

Wilson and his wife are coowners of Purpose Brewing and Cellars , a place that inspires creativity and supports the community through their brewing creations.

Most breweries like to curate their tap list depending on the season. For the fall and winter season, you can expect earthy

flavors such as pumpkin or caramel, with toasty and nutty undertones. For the warmer seasons, expect a lot of crisp and light flavors with fruit and hops.

Breweries in Fort Collins ■ There are 13.4 breweries per

100,000 people in Fort Collins

India Pale Ale’s: More commonly known as an IPA, usually golden or amber and cloudy in color.

Flavor: a strong hoppy flavor, usually with a healthy amount of bitterness. This beer usually contains 5-7 percent ABV. Fun Fact: This type of ale was originally brewed in England during the 1700s. Brewers added extra hops to extend the shelf life of the beer as it made its way to British troops in India.

Try: NoCo IPA from Horse and Dragon Brewing, or Scuba Steve IPA from Black Bottle Brewing. View a list of the highest rated Fort Collins IPA’s here.

Lager’s: Refreshing and easy to drink. One of the most common beers sold.

Flavor: Can range from sweet to bitter, and can have a pale to dark color with high carbonation and a tolerable hoppy flavor.

This beer usually contains 3-5 percent ABV.

Fun Fact: Lager comes from the German word “lagern” which means “to store.” This refers to brewers storing this beer for long increments of time at near freezing temperatures.

Try: Z Lager from Fort Collins Brewery, or 1554 Black Lager from New Belgium Brewery Sours: Wild yeast and bacteria in this beer help you pucker up.

Flavor: Acidic, tart and sweet. Many brewers like to incorporate fruit into the brewing process. This beer’s ABV can range from 4-10 percent, so choose wisely.

Fun Fact: Sour beers are probably the oldest type of beer. Before pasteurization and sterilization, most beers were most likely pretty sour from all the yeast and bacteria.

Try: Green Coyote Tomatillo Sour from Odell Brewing or Raspberry Provincial from Funkwerks.

Stouts and Porters: The main differences between these two dark beers is the use of malted and unmalted barley in the brewing process to give you slightly different flavor profiles.

Flavor: Heavily roasted with hints of coffee, chocolate and molasses. This is the beer for you if you are not a fan of bitter and hoppy flavors. This beer’s ABV can range from 4-10 percent.

Fun Fact: Porter is another

word for carrier, meaning this beer was consumed mostly by the working class in its earlier days.

Try: S’morter Porter from Equinox Brewing or Local Mocha Stout from Coopersmith’s Brewery.

“I usually ask people if they like light or dark flavors,” said Laurel Somerville, manager of Coopersmith’s Brewing. “It all depends on the weather outside

too. We have one or two new beers a month, so people can usually find something they like.”

For whatever mood or taste you feel, Somerville said you should never be afraid to ask a bartender because they will most likely have a drink in mind.

MOVIES

‘Wind River’ is a tale of the hidden brutal west

By Mir-YasharSeyedbagheri @dudesosad

As a Westerner, I’ve noticed movies set in our terrain take several forms. There’s the idealized Old west, full of opportunity and grit. And then there’s the contemporary west, a place where people struggle against the elements, often sans success. Taylor Sheridan’s “Wind River” falls squarely into the second category.

But, unlike other trope-filled depictions of the West, this one works nicely. In fact, the movie is based on actual events.

We open on a young woman running through a snow-filled meadow on a moonlit night.

But, this is no romantic idyll.

She is running with great determination and grit, trying to flee something or someone.

This is clearly not enough.

This opening scene hints

at what is to come, a film in which characters are shaped by nature, too often for the worst.

This is a rugged land, rife with killing, where rules lack efficacy or clout.

The woman’s fate becomes clear when she is discovered

by Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner), a rough-and-ready game tracker. She is Natalie Hanson, an 18-year-old resident of the Wind River Reservation where she has been found. A FBI agent, Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen) steps in to investigate the possibility of murder. The movie truly begins to soar here, in large part because of the murder and its multiple meanings.

On one level, it is about an investigation, but it’s also a symbol of how the west has an ominous hold on its residents.

Power and control are a major part of this investigation.

‘Wind River’ ■ Genre: Action/Crime/Mystery ■ Starring: Jeremy Renner,

Elizabeth Olsen, Kelsey Asbille ■ Running time: 111 minutes ■ Fun fact: According to IMDB, the location shoot was filmed under actual blizzard conditions, with cast and crew being transported to locations via snowmobiles and snowcats.

Regular vehicles were no match for the terrain.

Characters battle over territory.

Agent Banner specifically spars with locals, including Lambert, and Tribal Police Chief Ben, who regard her as a rookie.

They mock her outsider status, with the chief remarking that she cannot even pack the

proper attire for a snowstorm.

Characters are forced to deal with constant misfortunes, and the murder reveals significant wounds that have been festering. The movie’s characters all grapple with their own issues, while trying to piece together this mystery. In Cory Lambert’s case, the situation forces him to deal with the mysterious death of his own daughter three years before. Natalie’s father grapples not only with the physical loss of his daughter, but also the emotional distance from his son.

“Drugs are his only family now,” he says mournfully, trying to make sense of the situation.

The investigations reveal that Natalie had a boyfriend who worked at a drilling site.

And here forces converge in a blood-filled event, replete with pent-up frustration, despair,

and outright loneliness.

In spite of this all, there’s still a certain grit and determination in the characters. As much as they lament their lives in this part of the west, the characters also come to terms with it, acknowledging that this is their own home.

“No matter how far you thought she ran,” Lambert says in reference to Natalie’s death, “she ran further. She’s a fighter.”

And this spirit of fighting gives the movie a gravitas that saves it from the bin of tropes.

Should you see this movie? Absolutely.

A haunting picture of people on the margins, it packs a hard punch indeed.
