Student government election to be held April 2-4

By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98

The annual election season for the next president and vice president of the Associated Students of Colorado State University officially began when CSU students returned from spring recess. The four

presidential candidates contesting for the presidency are Liam Aubrey with running mate Lynsie Roper; Allec Brust with running mate Mareena Winchell; Jacob Epperson with running mate Carter Hill; and Tristan Syron with running mate Kevin Sullivan.

Campaigns participated in a debate on the Lory Student Center Plaza March 21 and participated in their final debate March 28, which took place in the LSC Theatre.

Coverage of the LSC Theatre debate and in-depth profiles on the four campaigns

can be found inside.

While last year’s ASCSU election saw over 5,000 students cast their vote, student voter turnout in ASCSU elections has historically been low, with around 3,500 students voting in Spring 2016. Students

can vote for a presidential campaign, a Speaker of the Senate candidate and the next design of the CSU Forever Green T-shirt on RamWeb from 8 a.m. on April 2 to 4 p.m. on April 4. Campaigns will conclude April 4 at 4 p.m. see ASCSU on page 4-5 >>

Q&A with founder of Patagonia

Wild and Scenic Film Festival highlights conservation with Yvon Chouinard

By Casey Setash @caseylovesbirds

The Colorado State University and Fort Collins community gathered Friday evening for the third annual Wild and Scenic Film Festival. Hosted by the Larimer County Conservation Corps, this event featured nine environmentally-focused short films on topics ranging from the salmon run in Alaska to Navajo traditions at Canyon de Chelley National Monument.

The event, held in the Lory

Student Center Theatre, was sold out several weeks in advance and was popular enough that scalpers scouted the front lobby and were eventually asked to leave by event staff.

The largest draw for many attendees this year was the appearance of the enigmatic founder of the clothing brand Patagonia, Yvon Chouinard. Patagonia sponsored several of the films featured in the festival lineup, and Chouinard was invited to speak to the audience as well as join a panel of water experts for

PATAGONIA’S ENVIRONMENTAL EFFORTS ■ Donated all Black Friday sales in

2016 to environmental issues

■ Uses recycled polyester in all

Synchilla fleece

■ In 1996, made the switch to all

organic cotton products

■ Founded Patagonia Provisions, a

food production company aimed at reducing environmental harm

a discussion on coldwater fisheries and conservation.

Chouinard, a notoriously opinionated and ethereal figure, spoke candidly with the audience about climate change and his pessimistic attitude towards conservation.

“You know, like all the climate change deniers and politicians say, I’m not a scientist,” Chouinard said. “But I’ve been around. I’ve been fishing for 70 years. So the talk I’m going to give tonight is pretty depressing. see FILM FESTIVAL on page 11 >>

Yvon Chouinard pioneered rock climbing in America and founded the popular outdoor clothing brand Patagonia, but his true legacy is his commitment to political and environmental activism. Chouinard is outspoken in a political climate that resists environmental consciousness, and he has donated upwards of a million dollars to environmental causes.

On Friday evening, Chouinard led a talk about conservation at the Wild and Scenic Film Festival at Colorado State University. Before the festival, Chouinard sat down with The Rocky Mountain Collegian to discuss brand loyalty, politics and his hobbies.

Collegian: If you walk around Colorado State University, you could easily find a hundred people wearing your clothing brand Patagonia. Why do you think your brand stands out in the college demographic among the REIs and the LL Beans?

Chouinard: With the millennials, the environment is super, super important to them.

They know we are screwing up the planet, and they want to do something about it as opposed to us who don’t want to do anything. They want to support companies that are trying to do the right thing. It’s pretty simple I think.

Collegian: Fort Collins has a very high-cost of living. What advice would you give to the 22-year-old, recent college graduate who wants to work for a company with Corporate Social Responsibility but also has to pay the bills?

Chouinard: We have that same problem in Ventura where see Q&A on page 11 >>

ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT

PRESENTED BY OTTERSHOP

By Johnny Jessup & Michael Berg Skiers this season have recognized that so far the conditions have been… well, not great. Not great, is being very generous when describing the slopes that are riddled with tree roots and rocks and have been over-skied so all that remains is an ice patch

underneath. Although even during the days when Colorado conditions don’t live up to their renowned reputations, there’s a mantra I like to remind myself: “skiing is skiing.”

Every winter, countless others and I look forward to skiing close to every free chance I get. I loaded up my class schedule on Tuesdays and

Thursdays and kept Fridays free so I’m able to leave bright and early and beat the bumper to bumper traffic up I-70. However, this season has been particularly frustrating because despite resorts not having nearly as many runs open as normal, the busy traffic remains. And come Friday, Saturday, and Sunday there it is again. The red

brake lights that seem to go on forever of cars filled with people teeming with the same skiing fever that possesses me. Once you get through the couple hours or so of white knuckle driving, you reach an overcrowded and skied up mountain that many times isn’t worth the long hours driving and narrowly escaping an accident on the highway.

I’ve been fortunate enough to ski A-basin, Vail, Beaver Creek, and Snowmass this season and each has provided just as disappointing conditions as the last. There is however a place free of the I-70 rush and lack of snow which is hailed as one of the best ski resorts in the country. Even better; it’s close to Fort Collins.

Steamboat has gotten far and away the best snow this ski season. With 163/165 runs open there is no limit to skiing here as the area enjoys a steady influx of snowfall, including a fresh foot of snow over the past weekend.

More times than not, you’ll enjoy way less crowds here as well as avoiding the traffic caravan from Denver.

If you don’t have a pass at Steamboat and aren’t feeling like paying for a day pass, then I recommend paying a visit to our neighbors in Wyoming at the Snowy Range Ski Area or enjoying the backcountry possibilities in the Poudre Canyon.

Cameron Pass is a fantastic spot for backcountry for all skill levels. While it may take a bit of a trek to hike to the top, the skiing is second to none as you enjoy untouched powder and no crowds at all. Right after a large snowfall is my favorite time to enjoy the powder at Cameron Pass, as long as you know proper avalanche safety.

Snowy Range Ski Area has actually gotten better snow than any resort in Colorado so far in the season with a base just shy of 50in and all trails are open. Skiing here offers you small crowds, little to no traffic, the best snow around, and relatively affordable lift tickets, so what are you waiting for?

While the conditions have been less than ideal this season, don’t let that hold you back from enjoying skiing!

There’s plenty of snow to push around close to Fort Collins, so I encourage you to get out there and explore some unfamiliar territory.

By Logan Ellis & Michael Berg “I want to keep pushing the limits to see what’s possible. That’s the nice thing about ski racing -- no one is stopping you from going faster.” - Lindsey Vonn.

The Colorado State Alpine Ski Team is proud to call themselves hard working, fun, inclusive, and most of all, family. This team always shows Ram Pride by taking care of, and cheering on their teammates. The team allows everyone to ski at their own pace whether it be french fry fast, or pizza slow, and we are here to have fun and enjoy weekend races together.

Ski racing is a unique sport that allows one to compete both individually and as a team at the same exact time. The Colorado State Alpine Ski Team, run by President Amanda Ulrich and VP Wyndham

Junior Sandy Simonton took home the gold this weekend with a first place finish in men’s GS! Freshman Chloe Townsend claimed her spot on the mountain with a top ten finish!

Sophomore Logan Ellis returned to the slopes for a second year and continued to shred up the mountain taking 18th.

The women’s team took a 4th place team finish.

Wyndham May placed top ten in men’s events.

What to expect at the on-campus stadium

By Stuart Smith @notstuartsmith

When the new on-campus football stadium opens this fall, game days will be drastically different than they have been in the past.

The Associated Students of Colorado State University, the University, and the City of Fort Collins are still working out some of the finer details, and will continue to throughout the season, but many decisions have already been made. Here is the information you need to know about parking and tailgating: PARKING: Re-park program Only three of the residence hall parking lots will be open for students to park in on game days, and every other residence hall lot will require residents to move their vehicles.

The re-park program will require residents to move their cars between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. on the Friday evening before game day. Students living on campus will be able to move their cars back four hours after the game ends on Saturday, or midnight, whichever comes first. Residents of Westfall, Parmelee and Allison will not be required to move their cars, and any student living on campus will be able to park in those lots on game days.

Students re-parking can move their vehicles to the South College Avenue parking garage, the University Square parking lot and Research Boulevard parking lot. There will be a shuttle to give students who park in the Research Boulevard lot transportation to and from campus. However, they must

move their cars from these lots by 7 a.m. Monday morning.

Getting to and from the game Visitors will have various ways to get to campus for games in anticipation for the 40,000 attendees. Based on game attendance at Hughes Stadium during the 2016 season, 55 percent of the attendees will arrive by vehicle, 25 percent by bicycle or walking and 13 percent by transit. The remaining attendees are expected to be on-campus residents.

For every parking lot, there will be a designated way for attendees to leave campus. Those parking in lots northwest of the stadium will exit onto Shields Street. The parking lots on the far west side of campus will feed into College Avenue. The Lory Student Center, Morgan Library, Braiden Hall and Harts-

horn Health Center parking lots will lead to Laurel Street, and those parking in the Lake Street garage will leave campus via Prospect Road.

Visitor Parking Every parking lot other than the exempted north side residence hall lots will only be available to vehicles with game day parking permits, which will cost $100 for the whole season.

However, that $100 will only cover the parking lots farthest from the stadium, with the closer lots restricted to higher levels of donors. The closest parking spots to the campus were available for those who donated $10,000 or more to the stadium this season and those parking lots are sold out. As of now, the next highest level of parking lots available are for people or businesses who donated $2,500 to

the stadium this season. These parking passes will be reset every season.

RV’s will be allowed to park in the Moby Arena parking lot.

This lot requires a minimum $500 donation.

The neighborhoods surrounding campus will require parking permits, and the fine for parking in them without a permit will be $100.

Bicyclist Accommodations The University is also planning on accommodations for people who attend the game by bike.

The improvements to the infrastructure for bicyclists in Fort Collins that the University has been making to keep its Platinum rating for the League of American Bicyclists will also serve to facilitate bicyclists ways see STADIUM on page 6 >>

THE U.S. HISTORY OF

THE FIRST PARADE

Design and social justice on display at 20th biennial CIIPE

Do you produce pieces with a specific message in mind?

Scorsone: We usually want the viewers to be moved in a specific way. We design by looking at the perspective from the potential audience and create works from that point of view.

Drueding: We want to both convey information and also evoke responses from the population.

How do you see art as a means to shape human rights?

Scorsone: It’s a very powerful and meaningful method of presenting issues that are hard to talk about. It brings attention and makes people more aware of what’s going on in the world.

Do you think human trafficking is believed to be a cultural right?

Souza: Culture is changing all the time, it’s more fluid than some believe it to be. In terms of human trafficking, women in most cultures are systematically unheard, and that’s the issue we’re trying to bring attention to.

Drueding: When your cultural right infringes on someone’s human rights, that’s where fundamental issues are created.

Canetto: Both genders can be sexist and misogynistic.

Supporting human rights is about supporting people who are in the thick of the issue and not having “American saviors.”

The panel led into the opening of the exhibit of Drueding and Scorsone’s work in the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art in the University Center of the Arts.

The exhibition will continue until Dec. 15. The CIIPE show will run through Nov. 3, in all three locations.

Drueding: Before designers were involved, writers were allowed to write and photographers were allowed to take photos of controversial issues, but it was unheard of for designers to be involved. We wanted to use our ability to communicate to make a difference and have more of an impact on the human population.

The 20th biennial Colorado International Invitational Poster Exhibition opened at the Curfman Gallery in the Lory Student Center and the Hatton Gallery in CSU’s visual arts building Sept. 22. This year’s CIIPE was judged by husband and wife artist team Joe Scorsone and Alice Drueding, internationally renowned graphic designers who both hold the title Professor Emeritus at Tyler School of Art of Temple University.

Drueding and Scorsone are also highly praised for their attention to social issues in the content of their work. On Sept. 21 they participated in “Picturing Human Rights,” a panel where the artists spoke on their involvement in the war on human trafficking. Drueding and Scorsone were accompanied by Silvia Canetto, professor in CSU’s Department of Psychology, and Caridad Souza, director of the Center of Women’s Studies and Gender Research at CSU. Souza opened the discussion with background on human trafficking and the efforts being made worldwide to combat the serious human rights violation, leading into the panel’s open forum on the topic.

CSU LIFE

According to the Roman Catholic Church, Saint Patrick’s Day celebrates his death in the fifth century on March 17. Originally born in Roman Britain, the Saint was taken at the age of 16 and put into slavery in Ireland. He escaped by walking over 200 miles to the Irish coast, and returned to his home country. Claiming an angel in a dream told him to return to Ireland as a Christian missionary, the man revisited this country and brought with him revolutionary beliefs. He incorporated Irish principles into Christian morals, and provided a system of theories that soon became the norm. Having a culture that was rich in the tradition of oral legend and myth, the Irish exaggerated Saint Patrick’s life and soon exciting tales remembering his life were ingrained into their culture.

No Place for Hate: Coming together for inclusivity

By Drew Smith Thousands of students, faculty, staff, and members of the CSU and Fort Collins community, gathered at Newton’s Corner on March 29, to participate in CSUnite: No Place for Hate march. The walk featured several members of the CSU community who spoke out against acts of hate on campus.

As the estimated 3,500 participants gathered, Albert Bimper, an associate professor in the Ethnic Studies Department, was joined by Anarely Marquez-Gomez, a political science senior, to welcome the crowd and set the stage for the events that followed.

“There is no place for hate in our community and as we walk today, it is important not that we tell one story, as the story of us all, but we tell all of our stories, as the story of one; that is who we are,” said Bimper. “Today is not the answer, but today is an important moment to decide what one story we are going to tell to represent us all.”

The march began outside of the Behavioral Sciences Building and went through campus to the Lory Student Center Plaza. Groups along the march held signs to promote the CSU campus as a place that will not tolerate acts of hate or bias.

Leading the march were students from the President’s Multicultural Student Advisory Committee (PMSAC), holding the CSUnite banner. This committee acts as an advisory group to the President and University administrators, professionals, and academic faculty who addresses broad issues of multiculturalism and social identity that impact the campus and surrounding community.

“Today we are here to face all the injustices that are

happening on our campus,” said Barry Wesley, a freshman in the health and exercise science department, who was marching. “Today was to take a stand and let the community know that we will not be silent.”

As the crowd filled the plaza the CSU choir sang before Mary Ontiveros, Vice President for Diversity and Blanche Hughes, Vice President for Student Affairs, took the stage.

Hughes shared a personal narrative with the community, focusing on how her parents and grandparents faced struggles with racism during her childhood in Kentucky. Hughes said that she remembers being happy as a child and feeling embraced by her loved ones and her community.

“The adults in my life did not share the pain that they experienced in their own lives every day,” said Hughes. “On one hand, I appreciate that my parents spared me all of the pain they endured. However, I also wished they shared with me how they managed to stay resilient and sane.”

Hughes spoke of the values that her parents instilled in her: that she was just as intelligent, hardworking, and worthy as white people, although she would have to work harder, to prove to society that black women could and should be valued.

Among the crowd was Stacey Baumgarn, Campus Energy Coordinator. Baumgarn was in attendance as a volunteer to help pass out CSUnite gear and represent support from facilities management.

“It’s important to have students, faculty and every part of the university involved and present in this event,” said Baumgarn.

“I feel lucky that our community can recognize these problems and we can take this first step at CSUnite today.”

“

IT COMES INTO OUR COMMUNITY AND SEEKS TO DIVIDE AND FRIGHTEN US; BUT OUR BEING HERE TOGETHER WE REJECT THE CHOICE TO BE SILENT, CSU WILL NOT BE SILENT.

“

CSU LIFE

CSU President Tony Frank walked with the crowd to the plaza, where he also spoke. Frank referenced the popular phrase, “silence is golden” and acknowledge that it does not apply on campus when responding to hate as a community.

“Hate has been crawling out from under the rocks it has been hiding behind in our country, it has found us and we can’t wish it away,” said Frank. “It comes into our community and seeks to divide and frighten us; but our being here together we reject the choice to be silent, CSU will not be silent.”

More photos and quotes from the event can be found on page 19.

HACH’S WALK FOR WATER HIGHLIGHTS GLOBAL WATER CRISIS Twenty four teams and over 250 walkers have already signed up to help support Hach’s 5th Annual Walk for Water Event on Saturday, May 5 on CSU’s campus. The event kicks off at the CSU Biology Building patio with Pre-Walk activities beginning at 9 a.m. that include bucket decorating, face painting, music, and all sorts of water awareness activities for young and old alike. The Walk starts at 10 a.m. and concludes at 1 p.m.

The goal of Hach’s Annual Walk for Water event is to build awareness regarding the global water crisis and provide sustainable water treatment systems to struggling communities across the world.

It is a daunting task but each team that signs up helps fund one of the numerous global projects Hach spearheads.

Last year’s Walk raised over $65,000 to fund safe water projects in the communities of Andot, Cambodia and Santa Clotilde, Peru.

FoCoMX kicks off in the RamSkellar with a special offer for CSU students and faculty By: Zachary Zimmerman Fort Collins is where the arts meet passion. We are the heart of craft beer and a foodie’s dream come true. We were in to food truck rodeos before they were cool. We even have a bike parade to celebrate great beer! Despite the obvious love of culture and celebration, many believe there is no music scene in Fort Collins. FoCoMX is here to prove that myth wrong.

For its 10th anniversary, FoCoMX will showcase over 300 local bands across more than 30 venues on April 27th and 28th. This festival, sponsored by the Fort Collins Musicians Association and Odell Brewing Company, is the best way to experience all the Fort Collins music scene has to offer.

SLOW CAVES

The venues include some of Fort WRITE MINDED Collins’ signature hang outs, such as Aggie Theatre, Avogadro’s Number and Hodi’s Half Note, along with new additions to Fort Collins Music scene, such as The Downtown Artery and Scrumpy’s.

Andot, Cambodia

With the assessment completed, the safe water committee is meeting with the village to explain the project and finalize a budget plan. They are currently looking for a borehole driller to commence the safe water treatment system construction.

Ram Page (Outdoors) Fashion Marijuana Beer Reviews

The safe water project in Santa Clotilde is underway to provide safe water to the community. This will give access to a school, marketplace, and various homes in the area.

Join the effort today, register and donate online at HachWalkforWater.org.

Best of all, FoCoMX kicks off on the Colorado State University campus on Thursday, April 19th from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the RamSkeller. This concert is free and open to the public, and it will be CSU students’ last chance to purchase discounted tickets to FoCoMX. Students can purchase FoCoMX tickets for $15! CSU faculty and staff will also receive a discount of $25 per ticket. Tickets for the general public are $35. The FoCoMX Kickoff Concert will feature local bands Slow Caves, Write Minded and Fjord Collins.

Slow Caves Danish born brothers, Jakob and Oliver Mueller, provide the vocal and guitar backdrop for Slow Caves, a band (rounded out by childhood friends David Dugan on guitar/bass, and Jackson Lamperes on drums) who offer a relaxed and surf-y update on 80’s synth, 90’s jangle and early aught’s indie rock. Formed in Fort Collins, CO in 2014, Slow Caves quickly gained a reputation as a must-see local attraction.

Write Minded Based out of Fort Collins, CO, Write Minded is a fresh and tasteful addition to the Colorado music scene. A unique mixture of hip hop, rock, reggae, funk and soul, Write Minded pushes the confining boundaries of genre to bring you something new.

Fjord Collins The band, Fjord Collins, previously known as ONE, is a project to explore a modern intersection between punk, new wave, maximum R&B and classic rock.

For more information on this year’s festival, visit focoma.focomx.org.

Student Video Productions has the experience and talent to produce commercials, marketing, training, music and live event videos. We also provide video editing, project management, motion graphics and more.
