Welcome to CU Student Guide Susan France

STAFF Publisher, Stewart Sallo Associate Publisher, Fran Zankowski Special Editions Editor, Caitlin Rockett Director of Operations/ Controller, Benecia Beyer Circulation Manager, Cal Winn

ere it is, folks, that chapter of your life you’ve been waiting for, that moment when you break free of the tiny town you grew up in or the rigid parameters of high school or the clutches of overprotective parents or the shadow of an overachieving sibling. That’s right, kiddos: it’s time to start college. Seriously, we’re so excited for you.You get to do some awesome stuff that you’ll think back on fondly for the rest of your life. (You’re gonna make some epic mistakes too, so, uh, be prepared for those less-fond memories.) And while there is surely excitement, there’s probably some fear mixed in there too, and that’s understandable.There’s going to be a lot of work to do, and all kinds of choices to make, and sometimes everything will feel like it’s just too damn much — but we want to tell you it’s going to be OK. Better than OK, actually. It’s going to be great. We put out Student Guide each year to give you, the new residents of the beautiful valley we call home, a helping hand. We think back to all the things we wish we’d known before we started college and we try to incorporate those within the pages of this book. So here you’ll find an A to Z list of people, places and things that are quintessentially Boulder; where to see some music around the area; and a collection of the places that will give you all kinds of help. Know that cool fountain behind the University Memorial Center? We give you the 4-11 on how it ties back to the “Red Scare” and represents your First

Amendment right to free speech. We’ll give you a preview of the Buffs upcoming football season and a list of advice we wish we’d gotten before we started our college journey. (We also give you the real lowdown on the 4/20 crackdown and how to get out of class to go skiing.)

So relax. Finish organizing your dorm room (Pro tip: prop the door open and make a new friend) and then kick back for a while with Student Guide. We hope you’ll find some advice — and laughs — within these pages that will help you start your college career off right.

NIST makes for an interesting tour. ag fee — You may have heard that Boulder is pretty serious about addressing environmental issues — take disposable bags, for instance. In 2013, the City voted to charge 10 cents per bag at grocery stores. The store keeps four cents of the fee and the remaining six cents goes to the City of Boulder to address the impacts of disposable bags in our community.

As far as we know, this is the only eating establishment in the country named for a cannibal. The short version goes like this: Packer and a few other hardy souls headed west in wagons. It snowed. They got stuck in the mountains. Everybody died. Packer managed to put on a few pounds. How’s that sandwich? Atomic clock — What time is it? If you really want to be accurate, check out the atomic

Binge drinking — This is defined as having more than four (women) or five (men) drinks in one sitting, or about two hours, bringing the blood alcohol level above .08. It’s a bad idea. You might die, which is real buzzkill.

Bioneers — An international gathering of folks who want to get together and develop practical solutions for restoring the planet — but there are local chapters, like the Front Range Bioneers, who will gather for their annual conference on February 3-4, 2017. Boulder International Film Festival — Boulder is home to the Boulder International Film Festival (BIFF), which takes place every March.Venues all over town turn into screening rooms and the stars show up to discuss their creative work.You will want to attend, trust us.

CU Independent — The online student-run newspaper. To all our fellow newshounds out there, here’s your chance to cut your journalistic chops. Conference on World Affairs — The Conference on World Affairs (CWA) is a highlight for the entire Boulder community. It’s a global conversation wherein everyone, including you, can participate. Students can volunteer or just sit in on the sessions like everyone else. In a nutshell, CWA is comprised of smart famous people discussing creative and important topics with whoever shows up and there is no charge. It’s the best thing in April. Cruiser rides — On most Thursday evenings, a bunch of hipsters jump on their bikes and ride around downtown Boulder hollering “Happy Thursday!” There’s a different theme each week (see www. cruiserbikeride.org). If you ride a fixie, have a neck-beard (or aspire to one) and like indie rock, you’ll be in good company.

Right: The Dushanbe Tea House is about the best gift ever given to Boulder.

airy Arts Center — The Dairy Arts Center (2590 Walnut St.) has just about everything you need for your inner art lover — galleries, theater, dance and comedy. If you find yourself in need of film, not to be confused with a Hollywood movie made from a comic book or a 1970s cartoon series, then head to The Dairy’s Boedecker Theater. The Boedecker boasts art movies, international fare and classic films for when you want something deeper than “Fast and Furious 8.” Drop/Add — Dates you need to know

lest you find yourself missing something crucial, or inversely, in way over your head. Dushanbe Tea House — The tea house was a gift from one of Boulder’s sister cities, Dushanbe, Tajikistan, and it is truly an architectural wonder as well as a great place to drink tea or eat a fine meal.

Emergency Warning Sirens — One day, out of nowhere, a voice will cry out to the city, “This is a warning system test,” followed by a sound that will make it clear the zombie apocalypse is neigh. This is Boulder’s Emergency Warning Siren, there to give us all a heads up when things like floods or wildfires threaten our beautiful valley.

mistake, this isn’t actually advisable territory for hiking after consuming alcoholic beverages or psychedelic drugs. Keep yourself safely on your couch at that point. Don’t embarrass yourself by having to be rescued off of one of these things if you start walking up the rock without the proper gear or training. Fringe Festival — This off-beat event has something for everyone: live theatre, dance, circus art, media art, cinema, visual art, spoken word, puppetry, workshops and storytelling. CU holds their annual festival in spring, and Boulder hosts theirs at the end of summer at various locations around town. And by various locations, we mean performances could go down in the back of a taxi or in a large cardboard box.

Find somebody with all-wheel drive and head 21 miles straight up Boulder Canyon until you arrive at Eldora Mountain Resort. While not big by Colorado standards — they’d hold the Olympics there if it were in the Northeast — it’s a great place to test your skills after a winter storm.

the Gender and Sexuality Center accepts all letters of the alphabet and those inbetween or unlabled. They’ll provide resources with everything from GLBT studies to counseling services to social activities. Stop by their office at the Center for Community. Grades — Worth a little stress, but not an ulcer. Find a balance. Grass — see “Weed” Greek Life — Lots of houses on the Hill have funny letters over their front doors. Therein lies some of the campus’ Greek life. Fraternities and sororities have their benefits (Hey, these folks can all be your friends!) and their drawbacks (Oh, they’re friends you have to pay to meet).

eritage Center — Upstairs in Old Main, one of the oldest buildings on campus, the CU museum houses memorabilia of the institution’s history, which includes moon rocks, championship trophies, even Glenn Miller’s trombone. Herb — see “Grass” The Hill — A place where you can find a number of establishments at which to eat, drink and be merry (or get a tan or a Brazilian wax).

Greek Life explains all those big houses with strange letters on the front.

the Hill. This museum showcases Bouldercentric history and history of particular interest to the average Boulderite (Think: exhibitions dedicated to the history of beer, and to the evolution of active wear). Heil & Hall — These two former ranches are now home to great hiking and mountain biking trails just north of town.

nvolvement Week — Don’t know what you want to do with the next four years of your life? Check out this weeklong gathering of student groups, clubs and organizations. It’s like a buffet of things to do other than stare at that chemistry textbook.You might need that. International Film Series — College is a time for educating yourself on the ways of the world, and film can be a great way to say “Hello” to a corner of the planet you don’t yet know. This film series showcases classics on celluloid, cutting-edge contemporary films, eyeopening documentaries and talks from professors and filmmakers.

Individual attention — Don’t get lost in the sea of students at CU. Use your professor’s office hours for conversations and questions about the material you’re covering both as a way to boost your grades and get some quality feedback. CU also has a number of academic, professional and mental health resources when you’re feeling lost in the sea of students. Internships — What you learn in class is a great foundation for everything else you’ll do in life, but the door to everything else begins with some work experience, the likes of which you’ll only get by, well, working somewhere. Sign up for some real-world experience with an internship and take your field of choice out for a test drive before it’s the only thing you’re qualified to do.

KUVO — The radio station you claim to listen to when trying to appear more sophisticated than the average KBCO-listening knuckle-dragger, or when you have researched a little too much “kind.” Why? Cause it’s all jazz, baby.

Joel Dyer

-towns — Boulder’s neighbors, Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette and Lyons. They’re EVERYWHERE, and they’ve each got their own personalities to explore. (Note: Very different from eTown.) Left Right TIM — Need to learn to think on your feet to explain why you missed yet another deadline on your thesis? CU’s improv comedy group may be just the inspiration you need. Every Friday of the school year, Left Right TIM can be found performing in Room 270 of the Hale Science Building on campus.

IRONMAN — Yes, people in Boulder really do pay to sign up to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles and then run 26.2 miles. Boulder has its own installation of this brutal race. Enjoy. Bands — How do you Jam know you’re listening to a

jam band? Well, if it seems like you’re still listening to the same song you were 20 minutes ago ...You’ve probably found one. Check out NedFest for your fill. Jewish Festival — This one-day event features entertainment, art, ethnic food and community organizations. Check out boulderjewishfestival.org for the next event on the Boulder County Courthouse Lawn and Pearl Street Mall.

BCO — The former local radio station where bands in skinny jeans play live in-studio so you can later buy Live From Studio C compilations every December. It’s now based in Denver.

Microbrews — Beers that are served without ping-pong balls floating in them. Boulder’s got plenty to offer when you need a break from Keystone Light. Old Main is the oldest building on Campus. It only looks haunted.

KGNU — Local. Independent. Baller. Like us. When the pledge drive comes around, be sure to give them some of your parent’s money. Kind — see “Mary Jane” Kinetic Sculpture Race — Kind of like that time in high school you duct-taped a couch to a skateboard and raced it against a recliner on a shopping cart, except, you know, legit. Every year, mad scientists build humanpowered sculptures capable of traveling on land and sea and then race them at Union Reservoir in Longmont. Wear a helmet. 14 AUGUST 18, 2016

ary Jane — see “Reefer”

MIP — Remember when you were younger and didn’t place in a sporting event, but still got a ribbon labeled “Participant?” MIPs (minor in possession) are like that, except the event is getting hammered, and the ribbon will cost you a big fine and an afternoon listening to old people drone on about the dangers of [insert whatever you were caught drinking or smoking here], and you may end up with a criminal record instead of ice cream from your parents.

Mountains — Large mounds of dirt on which you can drink or smoke to decrease the likelihood of getting a MIP. Also, a majestically scenic backdrop to our lovely community that will provide you a multitude of outdoor recreation activities.

aropa — The “that school of yours,” in the phrase “Is that what they teach you in that school of yours?” See “Best Schools for Underwater Basket Weaving” or “Horse Psychology.” National Centers — While you may have come to CU Boulder for the cheap weed and hula-hooping, a

lot of your professors came for the plethora of major research laboratories located in Boulder. The National Center for Atmospheric Reseach (NCAR), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are all here. Boulder is also home to some of the premiere research in hacky-sacking, but it isn’t an official national center. Ned — The thing you’re allowed to call nearby Nederland once you’ve been formerly introduced to the mountain community by visiting one of its music festivals or Colorado’s weirdest city-event, Frozen Dead Guy Days. Until then, you have to call it Mr. Nederland.

MSP (Open Space Management and Mountain Parks) — The government agency tasked with managing Boulder’s trails and open spaces, primarily by ticketing you for littering or walking your dog off-leash. So don’t do those things. The OMSP website has loads of helpful maps of places not to walk your dog off-leash. Old Main — The first building constructed on CU campus in 1876 that housed the university president, a library, classrooms and the start of a science lab. Our Lord and Savior — See “Elway, John.” Out Boulder — The advocacy and guidance group for the local LGBTQ community that also stages events like queer youth cabaret. Drop-in services and a resource library available at The Pridehouse at 2132 14th St., in downtown Boulder from 9 a.m.-1p.m. on Tuesday through Friday.

earl Street Mall — Downtown Boulder’s celebrated shopping district, replete with locally owned businesses, as well as some corporate outlets. It also has great restaurants, live music and street performances that just might make you say, “I don’t think that child should be standing so close to that.” When you turn 21, you’ll surely get acquainted with the Pearl Street bar scene — and don’t forget to kiss the buffalo at The Pub, or you’ll have seven years of bad luck. Planetarium — The Fiske Planetarium recently underwent a huge upgrade, including new lenses and projectors that make the dome an “immersive theater” that fills a full 360 degree view with videos of travel, astronomy, music and lasers. It’s where Galileo and Led Zeppelin meet back on the other side. Planet Bluegrass Ranch — This outdoor music venue in Lyons really does feel like a different planet when it fills up for its eco-friendly music festivals, showcasing the best in bluegrass and folk music found anywhere in the country. While most of the action happens in the summer months, the concert series at the Wildflower Pavilion indoor facility extends the season to spring and fall. Pot — see “Kind”

RTD — The company operating the buses that will take you around town if you can’t afford a car or can’t afford legs to pedal your bike. Also, the buses are free with your student ID, so start studying those schedules.

uaker Friends House — The Boulder Friends Meetinghouse started in the 1950s with an ad in the paper for a home gathering of people interested in attending a Quaker Meeting for Worship — a fundamental tenet of the religion being that a “church” is the people and not the building. People still gather at the local meetinghouse for worship, where they offer education classes on Quakerism and all the Oat Squares you can eat.

afe Sex — Hopefully your mom or dad has already sat you down in that room in your house that has nice furniture but no one ever sits in unless there’s company over and talked to you about s-e-x. If not, here’s some basics. Get condoms and use them wisely. Be smart about the whos, whens and wheres of doin’ it, and get tested (the Wardenburg Health Center can provide these services and they’re completely covered in your student insurance plan). It’s the smart thing to do. Silver and Gold — No, we’re not talking about the faculty newspaper that was sliced out of the budget by vengeful administrators. These are your new schools colors. Not black and gold like you will be seeing everywhere. Silver and gold. Slacklining — Along with ultimate Frisbee, there’s no better way to let the world know you’re in college.

Shambhala Meditation Center — This downtown center offers classes, instruction and open sessions throughout the week, as well as rural retreats. The center was established by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher who escaped Tibet at age 20 after it was overtaken by the Chinese government by traveling on foot and by horse over the Himalayas into India.

ubing — Buy a tube from the gas station, or rent from any number of vendors in town, and haul it up to Eben G. Fine Park and hop into Boulder Creek. Perfect for a lazy summer day, and an excellent alternative to attending the first day of classes — we’re just kidding. Go to class. Tuition — Think it’s high now? Tuition is increasing roughly 7 percent a year. If that’s not motivation to graduate in three years, we don’t know what is. Trustafarian — Dude, you just gotta, like, reject all of that capitalism crap, you know, man?

The Dalton Trumbo Fountain is located just behind CU’s University Memorial Center. It is often called the “free speech fountain” and tends to be the place students and faculty offer their opinions on all things political.

THE CROWD rumbled

anxiously. Men wore tuxedos with thick, greased-back hair and women sported elbow-length white gloves, fur wraps, short curls. Drums rolled. The air thick with whispers — who, for the love of God, was Robert Rich? The name had just been announced as the 1957 Oscar winner for Best Original Story. No one rose. Jesse Lasky Jr., vice president of the Screen

THE FOUNTAIN Outside the University of Colorado Boulder’s University Memorial Center is a large colored-concrete square with 12 programmable jets.Throughout the day, water sprouts up to ten feet high in rhythmic patterns, mesmerizing anyone sitting on the steps leading into the fountain’s square or lounging in the vicinity. As the water descends, it drains through a subsurface mechanical system, recirculates and launches back upwards through the jets.There is no standing water; the fountain seems to be living, breathing. “Every public event that I’ve seen on campus operated out of that fountain,” says Andrew Haubner, a 2016 CU Boulder graduate and former reporter for the CU Independent. For the past four decades, that fountain, the Trumbo Fountain, has served as a focal point for demonstrations, protests and guests wishing to impart wisdom to students and others passing by. Whether it’s evangelical Christians, the Black Student Alliance or Mitt Romney supporters, the Trumbo Fountain is a place for anyone to stand and speak.

Writers Guild, skittishly rushed onstage, accepted the award on Rich’s behalf, offering a half-hearted explanation; he’s in the hospital with his newborn? No one believed it. The mystery, the whispers lingered — who was Robert Rich? BOULDER WEEKLY

“It’s been the center heartbeat for any type of viewpoint, for anyone on campus,” says Haubner. The plaque posted near the fountain memorializes Dalton Trumbo, a CU dropout (more on that later) and figure best known for his defiance of the U.S. Congress during the Cold War’s “Red Scare:” Dalton Trumbo 1905-1976 CU Student Distinguished Film Writer Lifelong Advocate of the First Amendment “Even now in 2016,” Haubner wrote in an article for the CU Independent, “Trumbo’s name inspires both admiration or aversion.” Decades earlier, in 1924, Trumbo arrived at CU Boulder bent on studying journalism. He quickly jumped into writing for the Silver and Gold, the student newspaper of the time, the Daily Camera, and Dodo, a campus humor magazine. But the following year, when his family moved out to Los Angeles after his father lost his job in Grand Junction, Trumbo dropped out of school and joined them. His father died soon after, and Trumbo was forced to work the night shift at a bakery to support his see TRUMBO PAGE 20

mother and sisters. To keep himself sane, he wrote. In the eight years toiling overnight in the bakery, Trumbo composed six unpublished novels, wrote for magazines and film critics, and eventually broke into a successful screenwriting career. In 1939 he published a novel, Johnny Got His Gun, which won the National Book Award; in 1940, he was nominated for best writing for a screenplay for his adaptation of Kitty Foyle, and between 1943 and 1944, A Guy

nominated, hadn’t even hit one million dollars at the box office, a scanty profit even at that time. As the book Controlling Hollywood: Censorship and Regulation in the Studio Era notes, “it seems unlikely that Academy screenwriters could have voted for a film that no one had seen, written by a person that no one knew.” So grew another question: why did he even receive the nomination? “Robert Rich remained unembodied. Who was he — a blacklisted Communist writer working under another name,” LIFE magazine speculated the month following the Oscars, “or just a name cribbed to adorn a cribbed plot?” LIFE pointed a “finger of suspicion” at one of the prominent Hollywood screenwriters jailed in 1947 for refusing to testify about Communist connections and “being uncooperative,” unwavering in his determination to uphold the American standard of free expression and his first amendment right: could Dalton Trumbo be Robert Rich? Trumbo was the most prominent member of the infamous “Hollywood 10,” a group of 10 film industry workers, mostly other screenwriters, who refused to testify in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee. Forgoing his promising career and Hollywood fame, and jeopardizing the livelihood of his young family, Trumbo stood his ground and refused to testify. For refusing to cooperate with the committee, Trumbo spent nearly a year in jail. “Trumbo, a married father of three young children, paid for his act of conscience,” Eric Gershon reported for the Coloradan Alumni Magazine. “It derailed a flourishing, prosperous career, led to prison, prompted a two-year exile in Mexico and forced him into a black-market livelihood for more than a decade.” Trumbo continued producing work, publishing under pseudonyms or under the names of other authors he knew who were still allowed to publish.

“It also helped make him a civil liberties icon and secured him an exalted place in the history of Hollywood and of Cold War America,” Gershon added. Larry Ceplair, a scholar of the Hollywood blacklist era, during which hundreds of others in the film industry were fired or professionally exiled for their suspected political affiliations, told Gershon, “Trumbo has become a hero to many people.” According to Gershon, Trumbo was “a pacifist and underdog champion” who joined, and left, the Communist Party twice. These decisions “reflected a general affinity for leftist causes and solidarity with close friends who were party members but not supporters of the Soviet Union.” Trumbo said his party membership “was not a matter of great consequence. It represented no significant change in my thought or life,” according to Ceplair, author of Trumbo’s biography, Dalton Trumbo: Blacklisted Hollywood Radical. THE ENDURANCE “Yes, Dalton Trumbo was a Communist,” explained his daughter Nikola Trumbo to the CU Independent. “He believed that he had every right to be a Communist if he wanted to be and in fact, he did.” “It was the issue of principle and the cost of standing by those principles,” Lewis Cardinal, a student who in the early ’90s fought to dedicate the previously unnamed Trumbo Fountain to the Hollywood hero, explained. “As Americans, that is not only a very American idea, but a very Western and democratic principle that you fight for throughout all democracies.” In 1992, CU Boulder graduate student Kristina Baumli and Lewis Cardinal teamed together to petition the university to name the fountain in Trumbo’s honor. Baumli had recently read Trumbo’s biography and was astounded that he wasn’t memorialized anywhere on campus. Trumbo, who had passed away in 1975, was, in her eyes, an important fixture of American free speech. BOULDER WEEKLY

Other students got on board with the dedication proposal, and together they rallied support from Trumbo’s family and the living members of the Hollywood 10 and proposed Trumbo’s name dedication to the CU Board of Regents. Almost exactly 50 years after Trumbo stood defiantly in court, and after more than a year of lobbying, Trumbo’s family and friends gathered around CU Boulder’s University Memorial Court and officially dedicated the fountain to Dalton Trumbo, solidifying its stature as a haven for free expression and informed debate. THE LEGACY What about Robert Rich and The Brave One? “I’ll neither deny nor confirm that I wrote it,” Trumbo responded directly to LIFE’s speculation. “In that way I’m able to steal part of the credit for practically every good picture made.” The spreading rumors about Trumbo, and other blacklisted artists working under false names, mounted pressure on the industry to subvert the blacklist. Some suspected that the reason for The Brave One’s nomination was to bubble the blacklisting to the public’s surface, call it into review and question the veracity of its effect. Eventually Trumbo was openly given credit for The Brave One, and his other cinema hits Spartacus and Exodus. After more than a decade being banned, the Hollywood 10’s point had been made: it wasn’t about money or anti-American politics or the Cold War. They were about preserving the integrity of American freedom, the American spirit. Now, 23 years after its dedication, the fountain maintains the essence of Trumbo’s legacy. As the water spouts and falls without pause, the continuity is a reminder of what the Hollywood 10 endured. They fought for the right of free expression, the right to maintain one’s personal beliefs, no matter if they deviate from social norms or are widely frowned upon. The Trumbo Fountain stands as a focal point of CU Boulder, as a promise to those wishing and willing to express themselves: all views are not only welcome, but encouraged. Don’t be silent, contribute to debates. Stand by the fountain, rise and speak, without pause. BOULDER WEEKLY

Fish guts, doobies and riot gear By Joel Dyer

HERE’S A LITTLE

helpful background and advice for newbies when it comes to doobies, CU and 4/20. I know it sounds like a really good idea to put all those things together, but... Heck, it’s probably the real reason you spent so much time and effort convincing your parents to let you go to college in Boulder, Colorado, in the first place. You probably pulled the old “I want to be an astronaut” rouse, pointing out that CU’s the place for space. That one gets them every time. It reminds them of the cute stuff you said when you were 4 and they still believed you were special. But hey, it’s not your fault you had to tell a fib. Parents just can’t handle the truth. In a perfect world, you should have been able to just look them in the eye and say, “I need you to lay out a hundred grand so I can go to college in the land of legal pot, where I’ll post enough embarrassing selfies to keep me out of the workforce for 40 years.” But it’s not a perfect world, nor a perfect university. In fact, if history is any predictor of the future and you make the mistake of heading to the Norlin Quad at 4:20 on 4/20, thinking that lighting up that super-special, cigar-sized joint you’ve been saving up for the occasion is an expression of free speech, you’re likely to find yourself covered in fish guts after getting tased by an over-steroided cop in riot gear. Don’t believe me? Consider the great lengths the current administration has taken to prevent past 4/20 celebrations on Norlin Quad. They’ve covered the entire quad in smelly, fish-gut fertilizer, spent a couple hundred grand to hire riot police, shut down the whole university and at one point offered up a free Wyclef Jean concert on 4/20 to lure students away from the temptation to celebrate. All this transpired because for some reason, CU’s administrative big wigs think that lighting up at 4:20 on April 20 on the CU campus makes your future diploma so completely worthless that they are willing to make cops beat you with batons, subject you to arrest and/or expose you BOULDER WEEKLY

Apparently, the desire to fire up a fatty on the Norlin Quad on 4/20 is just one of the symptoms of diploma degradation. If not quickly treated with a good dose of fish guts and cops, some students may begin to question whether nonviolent pot offenders should really be serving time in private, for-profit prisons.

If you are unfamiliar with the Colorado Blueprint, perhaps the best description is just to call it the Democratic Party’s version of the Koch brothers. A slightly different political agenda but equally committed to undermining democracy. This university has gone the extra mile to save students like you from the life-long horrors of DD. And it’s not just students who can catch it. A good number of professors and others teaching in CU’s classrooms have been hit so hard by DD that they’ve actually lost their voices. Some have even had to quit or be removed from their positions because they were simply too far gone for CU President Bruce Benson to save. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but if it can’t be molded into submission, sometimes tossing it into life’s garbage can is the most merciful thing to do. But in all seriousness, I think the real reason for the 4/20 crackdown was because CU’s leadership believed that the national publicity surrounding pot smokers on the Norlin Quad was going to make it harder for them

to get dollars out of older alumni and conservative corporations. So to keep the bucks flowing and of course to allow CU’s conservative administrators to force their morality on students, President Benson and his loyal underlings invented the bogeyman of diploma degradation as an excuse for a crackdown on 4/20 and any other liberal ideas they don’t like. But college kids ain’t that dumb. They always seem to find a way around rules that make no sense. For instance, in 2012, they just marched to a different quad, lit their dope at 4:20, smoked it down and then wandered on over for some free reggae music. The university wasted a half million dollars and accomplished absolutely nothing. The likely reason 4/20 stopped being celebrated in mass on campus is because the bigger, better party is now located at Denver’s Civic Center Park sans the fish guts and riot police. So if you feel 4/20 calling your name, just head south and avoid the diploma degradation disease. And watch those selfies. BOULDER WEEKLY

The top ten excuses to use on a powder day by Tom Winter

SCHOOL, WORK, that

coffee date with your girlfriend (or boyfriend) — it all gets in the way of the more important things in life. Like that midweek powder day when the slopes are empty, the snow is deep and it’s time for fresh tracks. While your significant other might understand your sudden change of plans, that boss or professor could be a bit harder to convince. So, for the naysayers, those who don’t appreciate that the only reason you’re here in Boulder is because it’s close to mountains and snow and riding and skiing, we offer up these tried and true excuses. They’ll always work, most of the time, sometimes. “I WAS SICK.” This is the best excuse possible. But it may not work if you’re often severely ill for multiple single days at a time, returning to your obligations with a goggle tan and shit-eating grin on your face. Our suggestion is to watch the weather and score two to three days of storm skiing when a 36 AUGUST 18, 2016

big front moves in. Ride as hard as you can from the opening chair to the last, to the point of utter exhaustion. Then when you show up looking worked, dehydrated and can hardly stay awake during daylight hours, people will applaud you for being so tough and “fighting through it.” “MY MOM WAS SICK.” Everyone loves mom. How nice of you to take a day off to care for her. Wait, mom doesn’t live in Boulder? She’s here visiting friends who have jobs and can’t nurse her back to health. “I GOT STUCK IN THE DITCH.” The ideal excuse for those sneaky mid-week upslope storms when Eldora gets whipped into shape. It resonates because, if you haven’t noticed yet, Boulder does a woefully inadequate job of plowing most streets during storms, making driving for everyone a nightmare when it snows. “MY ROOMMATE GOT STUCK IN THE DITCH.”

Listen, we all know you came here to shred the gnar, so you’d better be prepared when the Snow God drops a righteous pile of powder on them hills.

(see above) You’re a good friend, how nice of you to spend the morning shoveling your roommate’s car out. “I THOUGHT IT WAS A SNOW DAY.” Again, an excuse best used for those upslope storm events when conditions are prime at Eldora, Loveland and Berthoud Pass. Plead ignorance and confusion as to how “snow days” work and admit that you’re scared of going outside when so much as a snowflake hits the ground. “I HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL.” Save this one for when you were going to use another excuse, but accidentally kiss that tree on your last run, thus necessitating 12 BOULDER WEEKLY

Saying that your furry sidekick — or your friend’s pet, maybe a friend of a friend’s pet — is “missing,” well, that’s a valid excuse for missing a day of class. Oh man, you “found” Fido! Guess you should hit the slopes since you’ve already missed most of that class...

stitches in your forehead. “I HAD AN EMERGENCY.” This excuse needs to be delivered with the kind of serious vagueness that implies something horribly unfortunate and highly personal has occurred.What kind of emergency? Well, you’d rather not talk about it, but it’s incredibly stressful and very, very private. “MY FRIEND’S DOG/CAT/ GERBIL WENT MISSING.” Boulder is a town that actually changed the definition of pet owner to “pet guardian” out of some sort of bizarre emotionally charged political discourse. You won’t want to use this excuse in a normal community, but in Boulder, where pets occupy a higher priority than children, your concern for a missing feline (which was actually sleeping underneath the couch) is completely understandable, acceptable and noble. BOULDER WEEKLY

“IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY.” A last resort for when you’ve used up every other excuse (including “the dog ate my homework”) because it’s pretty easy for suspicious types to actually check and see if it really is your birthday. “I WENT SKIING/RIDING.” Sometimes, honesty is the best policy. Especially when a storm is massive and conditions are all time. Remember, you are not the only person who ended up in Boulder because of the town’s proximity to fantastic skiing, snowboarding, mountain and rock climbing. Your boss, professor and significant other is likely here for the same reasons. If they are, then you are stoked and perhaps the next time it snows 60 inches in 24 hours they’ll cancel work/your class/the meeting. If they’re not here for the mountains well, too bad for them: maybe one day they’ll understand.

Wanna learn to hula hoop like that badass at Coachella? Now’s the time, young Jedi, to use your force to learn all the cool stuff you’ve always wanted to do.

CALLING OURSELVES PROS might be a bit of an overstatement,

but we made it through, damn it! (The more masochistic among us went to grad school.) We were excited and nervous when we got there, just like you probably are right now. We made great friends and more than a few mistakes. Here are some of the things we learned on our collegiate journeys that we hope will make your experience just a little better. • Study abroad as much as they’ll let you. There’s nothing like learning about the world by actually seeing the world. Studying European art? Go live in Italy for a semester. Interested in international development? Any number of African countries have programs. Want to learn Spanish? Like, actually learn? Go live in South America and force yourself to speak it every day. We know it’ll cost extra, and while we don’t advocate taking on student debt, we do advocate not spending money on clothes, movies, eating out,

partying, etc. (at least for a little bit) so you can study abroad. • Don’t be too cool for school. We get it. You’re in a new place, trying to meet new people, make new friends. But don’t play it cool. Be honest. Be yourself. Don’t do anything you don’t want to do, but be open to trying new things. Remember, your new friends will find out who you really are eventually, so you

might as well be that person now. • That being said, do take a step outside of your comfort zone. Never rock climbed? You’re in Boulder, baby — go hit up that wall at the Rec Center.

for their open flow jams. You are young and fearless. • Get involved.Those clubs and groups are where you’ll meet your best friends, and you can even gain some real-world experience for your future career. But don’t join things to impress a future employer; join clubs that speak to your goals and interests. • Get to you know your teachers. They are filled with knowledge and advice. They can offer guidance, and maybe even a reference letter in the future. • Don’t waste time in a major you don’t like. You’ll be happier, work harder and get more out of your college experience (and life) if you study (and do) what you love. Be undecided for awhile. There’s no shame in that. • On that note, immerse yourself in things you are interested in — get an internship, volunteer, interview someone who works in that field — so when you do pick a major it’s the right choice. • Accept that earning a 4.0 isn’t worth the ulcer you’ll give yourself trying. And you’re likely to miss out on so many character-building experiences, like political rallies or writing for the school newspaper or seeing a great band with new friends. What’s the difference between a 3.5 and a 4.0? It’s the difference between an A and an A-, which is to say there’s no difference. • Don’t be afraid to ask for help, whether you’re dealing with a crappy roommate, a failing math grade, a bad relationship or depression. There are resources out there to help

you. Don’t waste a moment feeling like you’re drowning. • Speaking of wasting moments, don’t let anyone convince you not to take time off. You are not weak and you are not lazy and you are not wasting time. But use that time off to get what you need — find a great internship, travel, spend time with yourself to figure out what makes you tick. • Start a band. • No matter what your friends say, drinking 21 shots on your 21st birthday is a bad idea. • Sell your car, put the money in a savings account and use the bus system while it’s covered through your tuition. • Treat school like your 40-houra-week job. It doesn’t really matter when you cram that 8 hours in (and listen, it might be more like 10 to 12, but that’s just life), but do it Monday through Friday. Make the weekends yours. • Sleep. That crap about sleeping when you’re dead... it’s actually crap. • Be vigilant in sticking to a budget. Yeah, you want new skis and you want an Epic pass and you want to go to Red Rocks and have $7 beers, but no amount of fun is worth a lifetime of bad credit ratings. • Use that gym. We’re here to tell you that gym memberships are expensive in the real world, so make use of what you’ve got now. • Call your mom. She’ll appreciate it and it’ll make life easier when you want to go back and live at home after school. (And apologize for all that stupid stuff you did when you were in high school).

TYPICALLY WHEN a college football

team doubles a win total from one season to the next, there’s reason to celebrate on campus. However, the Colorado Buffaloes jump to a fourwin season last year after finishing 2-10 in 2014 was not hailed as much of an achievement. Colorado’s 14-48 record since joining the Pac-12 Conference in 2011 has left fans hungry for greater success, and it all starts with a desire to watch the Buffs play in their first bowl game since 2007. In order to reach a bowl game, Colorado must find a way to collect six wins. Although Buff-backers have found reasons to generate preseason enthusiasm for a team coming off several losing seasons, there appear to be

genuine reasons to be optimistic again in 2016. For starters, head coach Mike MacIntyre and his staff welcome back Sefo Liufau, a three-year starting quarterback who has thrown the second most touchdown passes in school history. Additionally, the team’s defense returns nine starters from last

them to continue to be patient because a storm’s coming.” The aforementioned Liufau and his 7,380 career passing yards should give the Buff-faithful a feeling of security heading into MacIntyre’s fourth season at the helm. Instead, the feeling in Boulder is one of uncertainty due to Liufau missing the final two games of the 2015 season because of a Lisfranc fracture in the his left foot. Fortunately, recent reports out of CU’s fall camp are positive regarding Liufau’s health. He’s been participating in all of the drills, and showing no lingering effects from the injury that forced him to miss the entirety of the team’s spring practices. While signs out of fall camp are positive for Liufau, his favorite target to throw to is no longer

suiting up for the silver and gold. After last season, Nelson Spruce graduated as the university’s most decorated receiver. The wide receiver, currently battling for a roster spot with the Los Angeles Rams, finished his career as the Buffs all-time leader in receptions, receiving touchdowns and receiving yards. The absence of Spruce’s unmatched production will mean junior wideouts Bryce Bobo, Shay Fields and Devin Ross will need to step up in a big way. The loss of Colorado’s best receiver puts added pressure on the Buffs running game, as well. Lindsay led the team in rushing a year ago by carrying the ball for 653 yards.

But Michael Adkins II’s return to health (he underwent knee surgery last year) and the emergence of Donovan Lee, who rushed for a team-high 5.83 yards per carry after converting to the backfield from the wide receiver position, along with the recruitment of four-star freshman Beau Bisharat, means the Buffaloes might opt for a runningback-by-committee approach. “I think we’re stronger collectively,” Lindsay says of Colorado’s stable of capable tailbacks. “All of us have different strengths, and when you put them all together you have a powerful force. If a running back is hot, you want to go with him. But everyone has something to bring to the table. So, it should be a good position battle.” BOULDER WEEKLY

Last year’s Buffs put up less total points, while racking up fewer total offensive yards. The Buffs must light-up the scoreboard more frequently in order to compete in a conference that scores as many points as the Pac-12. The cure for this Colorado team resides in the offense’s ability to keep the chains moving and remain on the field. “We need to move the ball and get first downs,” Lindsay diagnoses. “The longer you’re on the field, the better chance you have to score. We need to do the little things right.” Of course, an offense’s best friend is a good defense, and the Buffaloes 2016 defense has the chance to be a very good friend. Not only is Colorado’s defense experienced, but there is also talent up and down that side of the ball. Defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt has experienced linebackers to work with in junior Addison Gillam and BOULDER WEEKLY

senior Kenneth Olugbode, a legitimate pass rushing threat in Derek McCartney and an All-Conference standout in the defensive backfield in Chidobe Awuzie. Still, even with all of the talent returning from last year’s team, the biggest piece to the Buffs’ defensive puzzle comes from a lineman who didn’t play for CU last year. Josh Tupou is a 325-pound defensive tackle who missed all of the 2015 season for disciplinary reasons after being recognized as an Honorable Mention Pac-12 performer at the conclusion of the 2013 season. Tupou’s return to Colorado’s defensive front could pay huge dividends, as the senior’s massive frame has a tendency for taking up a lot of the opposition’s attention — making his teammates’ jobs easier. The Buffaloes open their 2016 campaign against in-state rival Colorado State University on Friday, Sept. 2 at Sports Authority Field in Denver. The first opportunity students will have to see the Buffs play on campus at Folsom Field will be Saturday, Sept. 10 against Idaho State University.
