Coronavirus cancels campus classes Students react to University plan, state preps for pandemic

By Ravyn Cullor, Laura Studley & Noah Pasley @CSUCollegian

Only hours after the World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19 a pandemic, Colorado State University has decided to follow suit with other universities across the nation and will move classes online on March 25, according to an email from University

President Joyce McConnell.

Spring break has been extended until March 24. Classes online will be effective until April 10, at which time it will be reevaluated, according to the email.

The Council of Deans met Wednesday to discuss assisting professors with moving courses online, according to University Public Safety and Risk Communications Manager Dell Rae Ciaravola. Indications of the move

appeared last week when a notification telling professors to prepare to move classes online appeared on the Canvas platform.

Other Colorado universities made similar moves earlier this week, including Colorado College and the University of Colorado Boulder.

As of 3 p.m. Wednesday, there were 33 presumptive positive cases in the state, according to the Colorado Department of Public

Health and Environment.

As of March 11, the Centers for Disease Control announced there have been 938 reported cases of COVID-19 and 29 related deaths in the United States. Internationally, the disease has hit more than 100 countries, infecting more than 120,000 people and killing more than 4,300, according to The New York Times.

Born in Colorado, Glenn Morris arrived at Colorado State University in the fall of 1930. Recruited primarily for his prowess on the football field, Morris would eventually find his niche on the track. In his four years at CSU, Morris would create a legacy that supersedes many of his peers.

However, the moment that decided his true legacy would come in the years after his graduation on the grandest stage in sports: the Olympic Games.

During his collegiate football career, Morris primarily played defensive end, helping CSU achieve three consecutive winning seasons. The most successful season came in 1933 as the Rams (then Aggies) tallied an overall record of 5-1-1 and a Rocky Mountain Conference championship.

Morris was also awarded a spot on the all-conference team for the first and only time in his career in 1933. see MORRIS on page 20 >>

HISTORY

Student advocacy changing campus: Spring 1913 and today

By Noah Pasley @PasleyNoah

Many students, among the midterms and the sunshine, may be looking forward to their spring break, but what many students might not know is the history lesson behind their much-anticipated reprieve.

Victoria Lopez-Terrill, librarian and assistant to the coordinator for Archives and Special Collections at Morgan Library, spoke on early protests at Colorado State University’s campus, citing James Hansen’s book “Democracy’s College in the Centennial State.”

“In March 1913, students who were displeased by the fact there was no spring vacation presented a petition to Charles Lory demanding the establishment of a break,” Terrill said. “Lory denied their petition.

At that point, the students voted to go on strike and boycotted classes for a week. Eventually, their demands were met, and spring break was instituted at Colorado Agricultural College. That year, it began on April 7.”

Before, the spring semester ran for 20 weeks straight with no break.

“On a college campus, it is often students who are at the forefront of creating the change they wish

to see on their campuses,” wrote Mitchell Holston, assistant director of Inclusion and Student Engagement, in an email to The Collegian.

“In my former role, (I) had the opportunity to advise our residence hall leadership groups, including the Residence Hall Association and National Residence Hall Honorary. ... I was fortunate to watch these groups flourish in creating activists that advocated for many changes on campus, including creating more learning communities, combating bias and making our campus more sustainable.”

Holston also said that activism is key in “amplifying the voices of those who are marginalized” and that activism helps advocate for diversity and inclusion. Holston also offered advice, both for student activists and for those who haven’t yet started a career as advocates.

“Diversity and inclusion encompasses celebrating the differences among us while also being welcoming to those (differences),” Holston said. “Higher education and student activism have a deeply woven relationship. It’s important to remember that there are student activists who have come before you. Those may be alumni who have graduated from CSU that are still connected to the University. These people may be (faculty)/staff that were activists

In March of 1913, students submitted a petition and protested to request a spring vacation. Prior to this, the spring semester ran 20 weeks straight with no break. PHOTO VIA SILVER SPRUCE

during their time as a student. Use those folks as a resource.”

Finally, Holston added that it’s important to learn how to advocate for change as a student activist while you’re in an “environment that supports activism.”

Sheroya Sewell, a third-year health and exercise major, and Leah Snyder, a second-year women’s studies major, are advocates for the Brazen Project on The Plaza outside the Lory Student Center. The Brazen Project is a student-led, nonpartisan organization that works to destigmatize abortions, Sewell said.

“We ... go into classrooms and speak about what we do; we put on

activist training and interest meetings in order to help other students learn how to be advocates for specific causes,” Sewell said.

Sewell also said that the benefit of being a student activist is the peer-to-peer relationship, adding that she thinks students are more likely to stand up for causes if they see people from their same demographic doing it and that students are more likely to listen to their peers.

“When I started with Brazen, I saw other students tabling, and ... if they’re speaking for what’s right, I can do that too,” Sewell said. “I had a friend who was a part of Brazen, and

I saw how busy she was and the fact that she was still out here doing it, helping people have a voice. I think that’s an important part of student activism.”

Snyder said that student activism is the “cornerstone of any movement” because it has real ramifications, whether on issues in the present or in the future.

“We understand where each other is at and what’s important to us right now and what should be important for the future,” Snyder said.

“I think that’s super pressing on us, is the future.

Coronavirus >> from page 1 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends washing your hands often and avoiding close contact to prevent infection and recommends that people who are already sick stay home, wear face masks and clean and disinfect surfaces daily.

Reactions from campus Courses being transferred online have the potential to make classes more difficult for students, said second bachelor candidate Zoe Krucky.

“My lifeline is that lab that (coincides with computer science courses) where we have TAs who are constantly helping us with our code,” Krucky said. “My concern is just how streamlined could that process really be? Especially since, at least as far as I know, the University has never shut down to this scale.”

CSU should remain open, despite the potential spread, said freshman Aidan Rattray.

“From what I understand, it’s not really that dangerous, especially to young college-aged kids,” Rattray said.

“From the standpoint of ‘I’m paying to go to school here’ and then they’re saying they’re going to (move classes online) because of something that’s essentially just the flu is a little bit disappointing.”

The library will remain open to all library workers and anyone from the campus community, according to McConnell’s email. This includes CSU staff, students and faculty only.

How the library will determine who is affiliated with CSU and who is not is unclear at this time.

“There’s definitely a really big overreaction with everything,” said freshman civil engineering major Christian Medina. “But that doesn’t take away from the importance and seriousness of it at the same time.”

Medina said he never envisioned the University making the decision to move courses from in-person to online. With the courses he takes, CSU’s decision will make things more difficult, Medina said.

“I mean if they feel it’s necessary to help for whatever reason, I mean that’s what they have to do,” Medina said.

Tensions are running high due to the concern surrounding the virus, Krucky said.

“I think CSU is in a really tough spot because I think they do want to do what’s best for their students and for the faculty,” Krucky said.

Colorado, here are some quick updates for the CSU community.

In an email to The Collegian, Lori Lynn, associate executive director of the CSU Health Network and one of the co-chairs for the COVID-19 response planning team at CSU, said her staff has been trained to manage an increased volume of patients.

“I think CSU is in a really tough spot because I think they do want to do what’s best for their students and for the faculty.”

“The University has been watching the situation unfold for many weeks, and the CSU Health Network has been preparing, knowing that at some point Larimer County will have COVID-19 cases,” Lynn wrote. “We believe we have the necessary supplies to meet the anticipated need. The Health Network can test students for the virus, and we are ready to respond.”

Lynn also said that the University weighs many factors when considering its response to the emerging threat from COVID-19, including factors like incidences of cases in the community and potential risk for exposure to community members.

In an email statement to The Collegian, Kelly Tracer, media relations specialist for UCHealth in Northern Colorado, said that UCHealth is working closely with the Centers for Disease Control and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to follow the most up-to-date screening, testing and treatment recommendations for COVID-19.

“All UCHealth locations ... have procedures in place to identify and isolate a patient who might have a disease like COVID-19,” Tracer wrote. “If a patient at one of our facilities is suspected of having an infectious disease, the patient is placed in a secure isolation room where the possibility of transmitting the disease to others is minimal. The patient also would be cared for by staff who are wearing appropriate protective equipment.”

Tracer also said UCHealth recently added visitor restrictions and policies at all their hospitals, including Poudre

Valley Hospital in Fort Collins and the Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland.

The policies include: A patient who is checking in should tell staff and ask for a mask if they have a fever, a cold or flu symptoms; visitors with cold or flu symptoms are not allowed to visit any area; no more than two visitors are allowed at one time; and anyone under 12 years of age is not allowed to visit any area.

The Larimer County Department of Health and Environment announced Monday that there was a presumptive positive case of COVID-19 in the county. The case is a Johnstown resident, according to the press release.

The case brings Colorado’s current tally to 33 cases, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment as of March 11.

In a verbal statement released Tuesday, Gov. Jared Polis declared a state of emergency in Colorado in response to COVID-19.

“Our top priority is protecting public health and our vulnerable populations, which is why we are taking swift, bold action,” Polis said. “We will continue to be proactive and working around the clock to protect public health and safety with an eye towards preventing

the need for drastic measures that result in social disruption.”

According to the Colorado government website, some details of the executive order include directing the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment to engage in emergency rule-making to ensure paid sick leave for workers in specifically designated fields if they exhibit flu-like symptoms and have to miss work awaiting testing. The order also includes strategies for helping workers who fall ill that cannot work remotely, such as correctional officers and assisted living staff.

In an email to all faculty, staff and employees Tuesday, McConnell provided information about CSU’s response to COVID-19, including a new informational webpage as well as “comprehensive travel guidelines.”

“As you may know, Governor Polis declared a state of emergency in Colorado today — we obviously are engaging directly with his office around what that means for our community,” McConnell said. “We are working literally around the clock to prepare for whatever next steps we need to take.”

Fort Collins working to reduce carbon emissions 20% before 2021

By Paislee Fernau @PaisleeFernau22

As carbon emissions continue to be an uphill battle across the country, Fort Collins is trying to stay on track to keep emissions down.

The Fort Collins Climate Action team plans to have the Fort Collins community meet the 2020 goal of having carbon emissions down by 20% from 2005. Now with the new investment of Platte River Power Authority’s new wind project, the projections seem on track to help reduce carbon emissions to meet future goals, said Lindsay Ex, the City of Fort Collins climate program manager.

Ex said the City is optimistic about meeting and possibly exceeding the 2020 emissions goal.

“We are very excited about the Platte River investment in the wind project; that alone could have a very significant impact on our goals,” Ex said. “The project is going to significantly reduce our carbon emissions to the point where we could be

closer to 30% by 2021 when it’s fully online.”

The City is currently working toward achieving the 80% reduction goal, Ex said. Their main focus is updating their plans to make sure they’re on track for the 2030 goal of reducing carbon emissions by 80% from 2005 and being completely carbon neutral by 2050.

“What are the most equitable strategies to help us reach those 2030 goals we set as a community?” Ex said. “How do we get there in a way that benefits everyone in Fort Collins?”

As a community, there are many ways to help reduce the carbon footprint in Fort Collins, Ex said. She said renters can make efforts to drive less, and homeowners can change light bulbs to energy efficient ones, use programmable thermostats and turn the heat off when they’re not home.

According to the City of Fort Collins website, there currently is a new Earth Day challenge put on by the City to encourage the residents of Fort Collins to lose 5,000 pounds of carbon by April 22.

“This gives everyone an opportunity to do their part,” Ex said. “CSU students can make teams and win prizes.”

The newest change the City has implemented, to be announced later this week, is the Our Climate Future program that will be focused on meeting the 2050 goal, Ex said.

With the latest confirmed projections from 2018, overall emissions are down 14% per capita from 2005, with electricity, solid waste and water-related energy all decreasing.

However, ground travel and natural gas levels are still rising in Fort Collins. The increase in SUV purchases by Americans is currently taking up 70% of the market, according to The New York Times.

According to the Climate Action Plan, in total, Fort Collins emits 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in community greenhouse gases. But, with a growing economy and population, the community has been able to continually decrease emissions every year.

The amount of population growth, however, combined

with weather and increasing consumer preference for SUVs is a major part of why some carbon emissions have increased in Fort Collins, according to City of Fort Collins files.

The Climate Action Plan also released 2018 statistics on how the community has reduced the amount of carbon used. Specifically, Fort Collins citizens are three times more likely to walk or bike to work/ school compared to the national average. Collectively, over 33,000 tons of organic waste were saved, which is enough to fill about 3,000 garbage trucks.

Enough water was conserved to fill 3.3 million bathtubs, and the amount of electricity saved would take 4,200 homes off the grid.

Reaching carbon neutrality, which means having no carbon footprint on the planet, has become a long-term goal that the City hopes to achieve by 2050 with the help of the community and residents of Fort Collins.

“The City is likely to meet the 2020 goal of 20% and could even be closer to 30% by 2021,” Ex said. “We won’t know until

2021 if we’ve hit our goal because we do inventory the following year to see the overall projections. We are currently looking at the statistics from 2019.”

The City’s projections thus far look as if the 2020 goal will be met, and the City is on track for future ones as well. With the involvement of the community and new projects launching soon, the Climate Action team seems hopeful for future progress.

According to a Collegian article, the City also has partnered with Colorado State University to help reach the carbon neutrality goal to reduce emissions altogether. This combined with the Our Climate Future program will help reduce the use of transportation, waste systems and energy, which all make an impact on everyday lives.

“We are optimistic in our projections,” Ex said. “It looks like we will hit the 2020 goal in 2020, and regardless, we are well on track for 2021.”

Encontrar el equilibrio entre escuela, trabajo y paternidad

By Joey Wagner @Joeyleewagner

Traducción: Kira Willis Nota del editor: Este artículo es el cuarto de una serie de artículos que explora varios asuntos relacionados con relaciones en la universidad y cómo afectan a la salud mental de los estudiantes.

La Universidad del Estado de Colorado (CSU) tiene una gran variedad de estudiantes con antecedentes, identidades y experiencias diferentes. La paternidad es una de esas identidades y, aunque es gratificante, viene con desafíos únicos.

Los estudiantes que son padres forman un grupo que se ignora a menudo, aunque forma un porcentaje considerable de la población estudiantil.

Según los datos recogidos por el National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (Estudio Nacional de Apoyo a los Estudiantes de Postsecundaria), el 22% de los estudiantes universitarios son padres.

Para los padres solteros, especialmente, buscar una educación puede ser más difícil, puesto que los desafíos que enfrentan los padres son completamente diferentes de los que enfrentan los estudiantes sin responsabilidades paternas.

“Los recursos financieros para un estudiante pueden ser escasos y, así, la cuestión (se presenta) de si un padre soltero que es estudiante a tiempo completo también trabaja para satisfacer las necesidades financieras”, dijo Zeynep Biringen, una profesora del Departamento de Estudios del Desarrollo Humano y la Familia (HDFS, por sus siglas en inglés), quien investiga la salud mental de padres e hijos. “El estrés es un gran elemento predictor de cómo la situación afecta a los niños, y cuando aumenta su estrés, afecta a los niños más”.

El estrés financiero puede afectar a la familia entera, pero si el padre puede mantener un “estilo de interacción” positivo y estar disponible emocionalmente, especialmente durante periodos de estrés, su hijo tendrá una base sólida, dijo Biringen.

A menudo es menos estresante para los estudiantes que son padres si tienen una situación positiva de compartir la paternidad o un sistema de apoyo sólido, dijo Biringen.

Un desafío que pueden enfrentar los estudiantes que son padres, especialmente los solteros, es “encontrar la respuesta a cómo ser no solo un padre que hace lo básico, sino también un padre que puede estar disponible emocionalmente… si no le apoyan los otros en la vida”, dijo Biringen.

Criar a un hijo es un puesto a ti-

empo completo, y requiere mucho tiempo y energía, explicó Olivia Martinez, la presidente de la Student Parent Organization (SPO, Organización de Estudiantes-Padres) de CSU, quien estudia trabajo social y es madre de tres hijos.

“No puedes no lavar la ropa sucia ni no lavar los platos ni no cocinar ni, ya sabes, ninguna de esas cosas cuando tienes personas que dependen de ti para vivir”, dijo Martinez. “No hay muchas oportunidades para eliminar lo que no sirva de tu horario. (Los estudiantes que son padres) siempre tienen mucho que tienen que hacer”.

Jonathan Philpott, un estudiante en su segundo año de ingeniería mecánica, tiene la custodia principal de sus dos hijos de 12 y 14 años de edad; va a la universidad a tiempo completo y tiene un trabajo a tiempo parcial. Gran parte de su tiempo lo dedica a sus hijos.

Además de sus estudios, Philpott pasa una gran porción de su tiempo ayudando a sus hijos con su propia tarea.

“Muchas veces necesito dejar mi tarea o estudio para ayudar (a mis hijos)”, añadió Philpott. “Hay mucho más en mi vida que venir a clases y estudiar. Es todo de eso y también necesito cuidar a otras dos personas”.

Gracias al calendario muy ajetreado de los estudiantes que son padres, sin embargo, Biringen dice que a menudo tienen más motivación y su concentración y estrategias de estudio son mejores.

“Tenemos los mejores y más inteligentes estudiantes del campus en nuestro Adult Learner and Veteran Services Office (ALVS, Oficina de Estudiantes Adultos y Servicios de Veteranos) y en los estudiantes que son padres”, dijo Josh Johnson, un estudiante de sicología, presidente del Student Veteran Organization (Organización de Estudiantes Veteranos), senador del Associated Students of CSU (Asociación Estudiantil de CSU), y consejero para otros estudiantes en la oficina de ALVS. “También manejan muchos más desafíos que los que nosotros enfrentamos cada día”.

Sin embargo, hay situaciones inevitables que les pueden hacer faltar a clases, sesiones de laboratorio o exámenes, que puede afectar a las notas y su reputación académica.

“Yo sé, después de hablar con estudiantes que son padres, que han tenido hijos enfermos”, Philpott dijo. “Hubo una emergencia con sus niños y los llevó al doctor o algo así, y faltó a un examen y no se le permitió completarlo”.

Recientemente Philpott faltó a una clase para llevar a su hija a urgencias.

En referencia a otro caso en que necesitaba llevar a su hijo a urgencias, Philpott dijo: “puedes planear para todo menos el apocalipsis de zombis, pero… si tu hijo se enferma”, eso se vuelve tu prioridad principal.

A veces, dice, simplemente no hay tiempo para enviar un correo ni llamar al profesor.

“Creo que es necesario que tengamos algún recurso que pueda ayudar (a los estudiantes que son padres) a superar obstáculos como (que tu hijo se enferme) porque es una situación única y totalmente fuera de nuestro control”, dijo Philpott.

Biringen dice que los educadores deberían colaborar con los estudiantes que son padres con situaciones así, puesto que la paternidad se hace mucho más difícil si ellos no tienen apoyo de otros en su vida.

La SPO, un nuevo club liderado por estudiantes, trabaja para dar a los estudiantes que son padres un sentimiento de comunidad y un sistema de apoyo.

Martinez dice que el club quiere recomendar cambios de política, específicamente la relacionada con las ausencias excusadas para estudiantes que son padres.

“Consideramos que los individuos no deberían tener que elegir entre su educación y criar a sus hijos porque en última instancia esto es el desafío”, dijo Mikaela Dalton, la vicepresidente de SPO, que estudia HDFS. Otros programas para padres, según la lista en la página de web de AVLS, incluyen Project Self-Sufficiency (Proyecto Autosuficiencia) y Moms Offering Moms Support Club (Club de Apoyo a las Madres por las Madres).

Algunas oportunidades de obtener becas pueden encontrarse por medio de redes como WomenGive, que ofrece becas de educación postsecundaria a madres solteras, según la página de web de becas de WomenGive. También se pueden encontrar oportunidades por medio de la aplicación al programa Child Care Access Means Parents in School de CSU, que ofrece apoyo financiero para los hijos de estudiantes-padres que cumplen los requisitos para recibir cuidado de niños en el campus en el Early Childhood Center (Centro de Niñez Temprana) o la Sunshine House, según la página de web oficial de CCAMPIS. “Puede que sea más difícil, pero tengo las mismas metas que todas las personas de graduarme y obtener un trabajo y todas esas cosas, así que espero que me gradúe y sea mejor gracias a los desafíos que he experimentado”, dijo Philpott.

CAMPUS

Creating change: What to do, who to talk to, where to go

By Serena Bettis @serenaroseb

With over 26,000 undergraduate students enrolled at Colorado State University, it might be easy for students to feel small or helpless.

However, sophomores Brandon Paez and Courtney Haag know firsthand that initiating change on campus is not as daunting as it may seem after a class project Paez and Haag worked on in the fall semester led to the RamRide Food Ops program now in effect.

Paez said the idea started in Thomas Conway’s Composition 300 class.

“The second assignment we had done was this open-ended question of a scenario: We’re all moving to a new society, and we have to try to fix some sort of societal problem,” Haag said. “I decided to study food insecurity because it’s kind of been very near and dear to my heart for a while.”

After researching societal issues, Haag said, the class was tasked with designing a social action plan for change, with the only rule being that they had to do something more than advocacy for a cause.

Haag and Paez decided to create a petition to get other students to support their idea. Their initial request was to have the Associated Students of CSU provide RamRide with the necessary funding to give students, faculty and staff rides

home from the Mobile Food Pantry and take weekly trips to the food bank.

“The problem I kept encountering with all this research I was doing (is that) there’s not a lot of help with transportation,” Haag said. “There’s some assistance in terms of paying for food and getting food, ... but in terms of getting to the food bank or getting to the grocery store and home, there weren’t a lot of assistance programs. And some research studies would comment on that but not really do anything.”

As a member of the President’s Multicultural Student Advisory Committee, Paez said he used his connections within the University administration to spread the petition to as many people as possible.

Thanks to this, Interim Director of Off-Campus Life Lindsay Mason saw the petition and invited Paez and Haag to speak with her about their ideas and hopes for what would eventually become the Food Ops program.

After a few weeks of meetings between Haag, Paez, Mason and other faculty involved with RamRide and Rams Against Hunger, including Mike Buttram, the program coordinator for community engagement in the Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement offices, RamRide started their Food Ops services in February.

“I think (students) should raise their voice and speak out because with enough momentum and echo-

ing of your voice throughout this student body, throughout administration, someone will listen,” Paez said. “If you see an issue and you would like it to be changed, there’s always someone who’s able to hear you and see the same problem you are.”

For students who see a need for change but do not know where to start, Mason suggests they find the appropriate office or reach out to any faculty or staff member they know and start asking questions.

“There’s a reason that those of us in Student Affairs are in Student Affairs, as well as those of us who have gone into teaching,” Buttram said. “It’s because we truly enjoy the interaction, and we want to walk with students on this journey during this small period of their life, and so we’re eager for students to approach us with ideas. We need to make sure that students recognize that when they have an idea, they should feel at ease approaching us and saying, ‘Here are my questions.

How do we make this better?’”

One prominent example of students organizing change on campus is the #NotProudToBe group that is demanding an institutional shift in the University’s treatment of bias-related incidents.

Buttram said he commends the students taking action and organizing themselves in a powerful way.

“To keep the conversation going requires persistence and requires diligence, and that comes from all sides — both students and staff and

faculty,” Buttram said.

Mason said students should not be nervous about approaching faculty or staff with ideas or limited knowledge on certain subjects.

“I frequently come into brainstorming sessions with people where I’m like, ‘I know we need to fix this, but I don’t know how to do that yet,’” Mason said. “I would still encourage students to reach out and say, ‘I want to sit at the table, and I want to help figure this out.’”

Haag also recommends to not go about the process alone.

“If I didn’t have Brandon (Paez) in this, I think I would have given up much earlier, but just the two of us was enough to motivate each other

to keep pursuing it,” Haag said.

Tens of thousands of students within only a few city blocks can feel daunting, but CSU Student Affairs programs are there to listen. “(The process) was really empowering because they were open to listening to the student perspective, and they care so much about the students, and it was really apparent,” Paez said. “(I was) able to advocate for my fellow students who face issues that no fellow student should have to face. It was nice to know that people are listening, that there’s a way for students to make a difference.”

MENTAL HEALTH

Alumnus creates ‘bold, gap-filling’ mental health website

By Serena Bettis @serenaroseb

Suicide was the seventh leading cause of death for Coloradans in 2018, with men across all ages representing 76% of deaths by suicide.

In 2009, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Office of Suicide Prevention brought the issue of high suicide rates in working-aged men to the Denver-based marketing agency Cactus, founded by Colorado State University alumnus Joe Conrad.

“We had a history of doing a lot of social marketing campaigns around public health issues, and so I was asked to take on the issue of suicide among working-aged men because 4 out of 5 suicides come from that demographic,” Conrad said.

This campaign culminated in Man Therapy, an online platform geared toward men who do not know how or where to get mental health help.

“We knew we needed to build a website; we knew we needed to build a character who could represent the brand, and then we start-

ed creating a lot of promoting and marketing aspects that we could push out to drive traffic,” Conrad said. “It was a lot of campaign planning, tactical planning and then creative execution and production, including digital website production.”

A key feature of the site is its use of humor and a guiding fictional character, Dr. Rich Mahogany, to make difficult mental health conversations feel more approachable.

The first image that appears on the site has a different message every time you open it, one of which reads, “As it turns out, there are worse feelings than being kicked in the giblets.”

“There’s a lot of humor built into the website, really creating that foot in the door to having a conversation about sometimes really difficult topics,” CDPHE OSP Director Sarah Brummett said. “Making it a little bit more approachable and taking some of that more sterile, traditional mental health language out of it, I think, was a very deliberate approach to engaging men and making sure that the messages that we’re using resonate with and en-

gage that community.”

To understand how to better reach working-aged men, who there were previously few resources for, Cactus worked with professional speaker, clinical psychologist and co-founder and CEO of the Carson J. Spencer Foundation Sally Spencer-Thomas to conduct research and find the most effective means of communication with suicidal men.

Spencer-Thomas is no stranger to suicide, as her younger brother Carson died from suicide in 2004, just five years before the Man Therapy project began. Spencer-Thomas said that after her brother’s death, her family decided to do “bold, gap-filling work” to prevent what happened to Carson from happening to other people.

Spencer-Thomas said that around the same time she made that resolution, the state of Colorado was noticing the state suicide data and working to partner with Cactus.

“We started coming together and working to figure out how to fill the gap, how to reach these guys that were falling through the

cracks,” Spencer-Thomas said.

Part of their research showed that men would be more likely to respond to a mental health program on a website, Brummett said, where they have an anonymous, safe space to access at any time.

Spencer-Thomas said she led multiple focus groups to understand the perfect platform to build and that listening to men’s stories was the best way to learn.

“What we were doing prior was not working, and they told us to be bold, and they told us to do a bunch of things like highlight men’s stories and have an easy way for people to self-check themselves for depression, anxiety, substance abuse and anger,” Spencer-Thomas said. “We listened to people, and we reflected their experiences in the thing that we created.”

Conrad said that after Man Therapy launched, they received a lot of positive feedback but also a lot of doubt regarding the effectiveness of the program.

“People would always say, ‘Yeah, but does it work? It was intended to reduce suicide, and is it working?’” Conrad said. “That’s

a hard thing to prove. ... We have a lot of evidence that it’s working, including stories from men saying ‘Your website saved my life,’ so we know it’s working, but to have a robust evaluation done by a third party that is a clinical study takes a lot of time and money.”

Conrad said Man Therapy caught the eye of a researcher at the University of Maryland Baltimore about five years ago, who approached the Man Therapy team about conducting a study on the effectiveness of the program.

The Centers for Disease Control ended up sponsoring a fouryear, $1.3 million study to evaluate the program, Conrad said. The study took five years instead of four but was recently completed and will be published this summer.

“We have clear evidence, statistical evidence, that Man Therapy is highly effective,” Conrad said. “So what it means is that it’s going to create a lot of confidence and support for the campaign because we now know we have an intervention that is effective.”

CAMPUS

Engagement Symposium to ‘inspire a heightened commitment’

By Serena Bettis @serenaroseb

Colorado State University faculty and staff gathered March 9 at the inaugural Engagement Symposium to explore the ins and outs of campus engagement.

With keynote speaker Chad Wootton grounded at his home school, Texas A&M University, members from the Provost’s Council for Engagement stepped in to facilitate conversations and share ideas.

“The Carnegie Foundation defines engagement as the collaborations between institutions of higher education and their larger communities — local, regional, state, national and global — for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity,” said Christine Fruhauf, a professor and member of the Provost’s Council for Engagement.

Founded just over three years ago, the Provost’s Council for Engagement aims to “advance the practice and recognition of engaged scholarship as embedded within University missions of teaching, research and service.”

“We’ve gathered today to showcase and celebrate the diverse forms of community-engaged teaching, research and service by CSU faculty and staff and inspire a heightened commitment to engagement for the next 150 years,” Fruhauf said.

Vice President for Engagement

and Extension Blake Naughton said the Council for Engagement was created to figure out if CSU is a leading land-grant institution, and if so, what that looks like across the University.

“An anniversary like this isn’t just reflecting on the past, but where we’re going next,” Naughton said.

“We know that we bring people together and that voices together lift up to better solutions, and that’s the way we’re going to go about invigorating this mission.”

BLAKE NAUGHTON VICE PRESIDENT FOR ENGAGEMENT AND EXTENSION

The reworked symposium schedule allowed attendees to share more with one another rather than listen to speeches all day. They then engaged with a text-in polling software to display their ideas to all in the room.

Words associated with CSU’s land-grant mission included “community,” “extension,” “access” and “service.”

This connected with themes discussed in a panel later on in the event that featured campus faculty

and community members who have partnered with CSU Extension.

“When we think about community partnerships, we’re really wondering, as adults in the room, ‘Are we truly holding ourselves accountable for doing our work for the best possible social good in this community?’” said Sara Maranowicz, the community programs director for the Bohemian Foundation.

Maranowicz said that engagement and community building re-

quire those involved to consistently ask themselves if they are properly using all available resources to make change and better the community.

Naughton said that the Provost’s Council for Engagement is meeting with stakeholders on- and off-campus in the next few months to discuss what areas of community engagement the University excels at and what needs adjusting.

The council brought together CSU faculty and staff at the En-

gagement Symposium as a chance to connect with each other’s ideas, learn from their experiences and build momentum for future projects.

“We know that we bring people together and that voices together lift up to better solutions, and that’s the way we’re going to go about invigorating this mission,” Naughton said.

ASCSU

Senate discusses funding requests from RMSMC and more

By Charlotte Lang @chartrickwrites

Editor’s note: Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation is the parent company of The Collegian. All people quoted in the section are employees of the company.

The Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation met with the Associated Students of Colorado State University senate on Wednesday night to discuss their role in the community and on campus.

Various members of RMSMC presented the importance of the organization and answered questions about the group and upcoming contract negotiations. The presentation was made so that ASCSU President Ben Amundson can later hear the opinion of the senate regarding decisions about the contract.

The senate also heard from the Real Estate Club, which asked for $2,345 to fund food and quarter-zip pullovers.

The business showcase bill was also passed with a 35-2-0 vote.

Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation presentation RMSMC’s presentation to the senate spoke of the significance of the organization to the University and the requested funding of $36,078 in the contract.

“Every few years, the whole

contract expires, and we get to resign the entire thing,” Amundson said about the contract later in the meeting. “So the whole enchilada is up this year.”

The group presenting from RMSMC included representatives from KCSU, The Collegian and CTV. Other departments under RMSMC include College Avenue, advertising, marketing, creative services and others.

“You do not get a sense for how much control the students have unless you live and breathe it down there.”

PETER WAACK PRESIDENT AND CEO OF RMSMC

One of the primary highlights made about the corporation was the opportunities it offers to students as a place to learn about and experience environments similar to ones they may be working at in their futures.

“This is one of the greatest experiences and most terrifying experiences that they’re ever going to have,” said Peter Waack, president and CEO of RMSMC. “You do not

get a sense for how much control the students have unless you live and breathe it down there.”

RMSMC also proposed benefits to ASCSU, including access to the photo and video department.

It would also allow ASCSU senate sessions to be broadcast online.

During questions after the presentation, Senator Elezabeth Alem expressed concerns about reporting in The Collegian and claims of recent work being seen as lazy reporting. Alem also asked about other claims of The Collegian’s lack of haste for racial bias incidents on campus.

“We do realize that it is a shortcoming of ours at times, and I think that was a big awakening for us last semester,” said Editor-in-Chief Forrest Czarnecki.

Managing Editor Austin Fleskes also spoke about diversity training and a focus on awareness in the current hiring process.

The senate will give their opinion on the contract to Amundson in a later meeting this semester.

“We love student journalism, and we love student media,” Amundson said during his executive report. “They’re a great cause.

At the end of the day, I look at them and I don’t say they’re an evil fake news media. I think they’re genuinely good people.”

Funding for Real Estate Club, 2020 spring showcase Matthew Gasser, president of

the University’s Real Estate Club, presented a bill asking for the senate to fund the club’s food and quarter-zip pullovers.

Gasser said the club is important because it allows students the chance to network with employers and other significant contacts in the real estate industry.

Gasser said the club can’t go through the Board for Student Organization Funding because BSOF can’t fund food or capital expendi-

tures, both of which the club is asking for.

The bill was sent to the Budgetary Affairs Committee.

Another bill focused on funding the Venture RAMS Business Showcase passed with a 35-2-0 vote.

“This bill represents more of what we’re doing here at ASCSU,” said Senator Alex Benitez. “I fully endorse this bill.”

COLLEGIAN COLUMNIST

It won’t hurt you to do schoolwork over spring break Cody Cooke @CodyCooke17

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.

It’s finally here — spring break for Colorado State University is only days away. Students are probably thinking of what they should pack for vacation or what they want to bring with them on their trip back home. Some may be staying in Fort Collins for the week, either earning money or just taking it easy with no thought of classes or deadlines. Whatever the case may be, students of all years and majors probably can’t wait to ditch the homework.

But a week of uninterrupted partying or disregard for school might not be in our best interests, especially if you’re like me and have at least one exam within the first few days back. Forgetting entirely about academic obligations could do more harm than good. It may sound cruel, but students should keep their schoolwork in mind over spring break.

For one thing, keeping ourselves familiar with the material can never hurt. Just refreshing yourself with a glimpse at your notes could save you from forgetting the information entirely, especially if your classes contain technical terms or complex concepts.

Harvard Medical School explains that keeping information fresh can help it stay with us. According to their website, “Memory has a use-it-or-lose-it quality: Memories that are called up and used frequently are least likely to be forgotten.” Plus, if you do have

assignments over break, pushing everything off to the day before classes start again could cause unneeded stress.

Of course, this should be done in moderation. Spring break is a break for a reason. No one needs to explain the benefits of seeing our old friends again or spending a week not having to worry about papers and quizzes. The research doesn’t lie. Taking a break from the things we spend all semester doing (reading, analyzing, problem-solving, etc.) is good for us.

But just some engagement — literally any at all — is better than none. I’m not talking about finishing a novel in a week, but a page or two here and there could benefit us. It’s like stretching our muscles instead of doing a full-blown workout. We can stay flexible and in shape, but we don’t have to exert all of our effort.

That being said, don’t hate your professors for assigning work over break (unless they assign an entire research project — that’s just mean). They probably just don’t want you to forget about their class, which is understandable. Instead of dreading the work, try to get a head start before break. Even just starting the assignment will do you more good than forgetting about it until next week.

Overall, just staying engaged any way you can will help. For example, I plan on bringing a book back home with me so that I can read a few pages in the morning with my cup of coffee. Nothing serious is necessary, just something to keep our brains from getting used to too much relaxation. There will be plenty of time for catharsis and celebration, but we should still make sure our education doesn’t get lost in all of it.

CSU moving classes online: Is it responsible or irrational?

With the spread of COVID-19 from Wuhan, China, to the United States, several universities are taking measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 by moving classes from in-person to online, including CU Boulder. As Colorado State University follows in CU’s footsteps, two columnists debate whether moving classes online is responsible or irrational.

CSU’s reaction to the coronavirus is irrational Joslyn Orji @lazy_svndae

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.

University President Joyce McConnell sent an email last night stating that Colorado State University will move classes online until April 10 and extend spring break until March 24. Despite the severity of COVID-19, CSU’s response to transfer courses online is irrational.

Students are also worried about classes being canceled altogether, which is a possibility since other universities started closing down campus classrooms. We applaud the caring nature of our University’s dedication to student and staff health and well-being, but mirroring the actions of other institutions is not necessarily in the community’s best interest.

This action isn’t meant to invalidate individual experiences but to provide a sense of reality to calm the community. It’s notable that the University is considering preventive measures, but switching to online classes will only contribute to the further dramatization of the disease.

Switching to online as a preemptive measure will likely result in growing apathy among students toward their education. As a result of the lack of accountability, students may begin to neglect their coursework.

According to The Washington Post, unless a student, faculty member or someone closely associated with a person has been diagnosed, then there’s no need for preemptive action that could bring negative consequences by closing the schools. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the most at-risk for the disease are older people and people with underlying health conditions, yet it could affect everyone differently.

The media has prompted a sense of mass hysteria and paranoia among United States residents regarding the virus, especially those who reside in states that have reported at least two cases. Additionally, online classes and self-quarantine aren’t going to stop students from congregating and socializing. When better to go out than a Friday night after a 12-hour “The Office” binge and no classes?

We don’t need to wait for someone in the immediate University community to contract the disease.

Prevention will always be better than letting it get ahead of us and having to take a reactionary path.

The potential to overwhelm our health care system would be much worse. According to Harvard Medical School, the risk of very serious illness or death from contracting COVID-19 is likely less than that of the flu, SARS or MERS. In fact, the World Health Organization estimated the COVID-19 mortality rate to be 3.4% as of March 3. The flu affects millions of people every year, but contracting the disease doesn’t mean it’s going to kill you. Maybe the flu wouldn’t be as prevalent if we had more preventative measures in place.

My colleague Joslyn Orji claims that moving classes online will contribute to a growing apathy among students and that students may begin to neglect their coursework.

Regardless of the format in which classes are being delivered, it’s a student’s responsibility to adapt to the circumstances, and if it’s a situation they might need help maintaining, students should let their professors know.

Similarly, our health care system is not as advanced as most people think. We do have an abundance of resources to draw from, but we’re not great at allocating them, which is essential during an outbreak.

So, what this means is that we’re starting to understand how vulnerable we are as a community when people can’t afford to take off work when they’re sick and when people can’t go to the doctor because it’s too expensive. Taking preventative measures should not be a privilege, and the University is acting responsibly.

Thankfully, we have the technology to continue on and not cancel classes altogether, which would leave a slew of other administrative and technical components to address.

We are only as healthy as the most vulnerable of our population.

Hopefully by the end of this, we as students can expand our discussion of health and health care to include more preventative measures, like universal health care and paid sick leave.

COLLEGIAN COLUMNIST

Instagram isn’t a picture-perfect social media platform Allie Huber @alliehuber

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.

More than 98% of collegeaged students are social media users. United States teenagers spend about seven hours a day using screens, not including time spent doing homework online. I know I’m constantly plugged in. I also know that I’m planning a trip to the beach for spring break, and I’ve already been thinking about what to post on Instagram.

Every time I go on a trip, I find myself thinking about posting on social media, but before I post, I find myself hesitating because I’m not sure my post will be good enough. As Danielle Leigh Wagstaff, author of a research study regarding the psychological effects of Instagram, said, “People tend to post only their best images on Instagram, using filters that make them look beautiful. We have a false sense of what the average is, which makes us feel

worse about ourselves.”

Yet social media is a key part of our lives, largely due to its addictive properties.

New York University professor Adam Alter claims that social media likes stimulate the release of dopamine, a chemical associated with happiness, but the real source of addiction is the uncertainty of a positive response to our posts. As Alter puts it, “It’s the unpredictability of that process that makes it so addictive. If you knew that every time you posted something you’d get a 100 likes, it would become boring really fast.”

This source of validation and associated dopamine rush really helped social media platforms take off in the early 2000s, when MySpace became the first site to reach a million active users.

Clearly, MySpace isn’t the site of choice for most people anymore, but social media has become ingrained in our society. More recently in 2018, the top three most widely used platforms were Facebook, YouTube and Instagram, with 2.26 billion, 1.9 billion and 1 billion users, respectively.

Instagram has always been one of my personal favorite social media sites — it’s easy to log on and see what my friends

are up to, especially because I don’t have to wade through large blocks of text. But I also often find myself comparing my posts to those I follow, and I’m not the only one who feels this way.

According to a survey performed by the Royal Society for Public Health, Instagram is one of the two worst social media sites — the other being Snapchat — for users’ mental health. The survey investigated 14 different categories of health and well-being, including anxiety, depression, loneliness and body image.

Shirley Cramer from the RSPH indicated that the findings regarding Instagram and Snapchat having the worst effects on users’ mental health was interesting, as “both platforms are very image-focused, and it appears they may be driving feelings of inadequacy and anxiety in young people.”

On a similar note, Wagstaff claims that Instagram confuses one’s comparison mechanism, used to determine social standing, because images posted aren’t usually accurate representations of reality and cause unfair comparisons.

Wagstaff suggests that one way to combat this is through following accounts that reflect

our own lives, such as those of our friends.

Their hypothesis is supported by other studies, one of which found that “fitspiration” posts — or images that promote a healthy lifestyle and diet but largely portray thin women — tend to cause the viewer to experience negative thoughts about their body.

“According to a survey performed by the Royal Society for Public Health, Instagram is one of the two worst social media sites — the other being Snapchat — for users’ mental health.”

These “fitspiration” posts are something that I have struggled with a lot in the past, especially because I know that my spring break posts won’t be up to par in my own eyes.

It helps me to recognize that these thoughts aren’t unique to me, and as the conversation about mental health and social media has grown, the platforms are starting to adjust.

Both Instagram and Facebook offer a setting

that allows users to see how long they’ve spent on the platform and reminds them to disconnect. If you’re concerned with the amount of time you’re spending on social media, this is definitely something to look into.

If you find yourself using social media as a comparison tool, it’s important to remind yourself that social media is a great tool for staying up-todate on your friends’ lives, but it isn’t always an accurate representation of reality.

Take a step back if you need to, and if you’re really struggling, talk to someone; Colorado State University offers mental health services.

As health YouTuber Laci Green put it, “Socializing from behind a screen can also be uniquely isolating, obscuring mental health challenges even more than usual.”

With apps like Instagram, which allow us to post the very best snapshots of our lives for others to see and envy, this is especially true. I definitely agree with Green when she says, “As we navigate these new digital spaces that have so much to offer, we must be having a conversation about how it can affect our mental health.”

Morris >> from page 1 While Morris’ success on the gridiron was impressive, he made his mark on the track. In his time at CSU, Morris set conference records that have since been broken in both the low and high hurdles.

His excellence on the track earned Morris the Nye Trophy, an award that is given to the University’s most outstanding male athlete, in his final season at CSU. Upon graduating from Colorado State, Morris joined Harry Hughes’ coaching staff and served as an assistant for both track and football. Morris also continued to train under Hughes in hopes to compete in national track and field competitions.

Morris’ work paid off, as he set a new American record in the decathlon at the 1936 Kansas Relays.

He carried that momentum into the 1936 Olympic trials, where he again came in first, earning him the right to represent America at the Berlin Olympic Games.

The 1936 Olympics in Berlin were hosted during a very tumultuous time in history. The usual excitement from the Olympic Games was overshadowed by the abrasive presence of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime. Much of the country viewed this as an opportunity to achieve a symbolic victory over the moral atrocities plaguing Europe.

American athletes such as Jessie Owens and our very own Morris were more than happy to oblige the efforts. Morris put forth a dominating performance and easily won the decathlon. He set new Olympic and world records along with capturing a gold medal.

Morris’ victory also awarded him the title of the greatest athlete in the world, a traditional honor bestowed to all Olympic decathlon winners.

Morris’ victory was so amazing that Hitler offered him $50,000 to stay in Germany to play a part in what would have been Aryan propaganda films. Morris declined and returned to America.

Upon his return, Morris was widely celebrated as a national hero. Then-Governor of Colorado Ed Johnson honored the homegrown Coloradan by declaring Sept. 6 to be Glenn Morris day.

Morris was also honored with parades in New York, Denver and Fort Collins.

Ironically enough, Morris would eventually end up in the film industry upon his retirement from athletics. In the late 1930s, Morris starred in five Tarzan films. Unfortunately, poor reviews and controversy regarding his salary caused Morris’ acting career to be rather short-lived.

After stepping away from acting, Morris decided to go back to what he knew best: sports. However, he chose to return to the football field rather than the track.

season. Unfortunately, Morris’ comeback was cut short by an injury, as he managed to appear in only four games.

Two years after his attempted return to professional sports, Morris joined the Navy to aid in America’s World War II efforts. In his five-year service, Morris accumulated many military honors, such as two bronze service stars and an Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal.

His time spent in the war took a great physical and emotional toll on him. In his later years, Morris was plagued by post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as emphysema. His health continued to deteriorate until his eventual death from heart failure in 1974. He was 61 years old.

The legacy of Morris is enshrined in various athletic halls of fame, including the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame and the CSU Sports Hall of Fame. Additional honors include being named to the CSU football all-century team as well as being named the University’s greatest male athlete of all time in 2013.

In 2011, CSU renamed the field house to the Glenn Morris Field House in an effort to honor one of the University’s most accomplished alumni. The dedication to excellence in everything Morris pursued should make all members of the CSU community truly proud to be a CSU Ram. Ethan Lee can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Ali Kallner: Running miles with a record breaking smile

Today 4:46 PM

(970) 491-5278

Yo, you got Gambino?

Yo, you got Gambino?

Oh hell yeah! Coming up next.

By Leo Friedman @LeoFriedman13

Ali Kallner attributes much of her success in both track and life to not taking herself too seriously. It’s hard to believe this when one sees she is the Colorado State University record holder for the 3,000-meter race. She finished with a time of 9:26.93, jumping up from her previous best, which stood at number 20 on CSU’s all-time list for the race.

After Kallner passed the finish line and collapsed, the unofficial times showed her missing the record by about a tenth of a second.

According to Art Siemers, CSU’s head distance coach, Kallner still had a smile on her face. However, when the official times came out, she was even happier as she found out she had broken the record and beat her PR by over 30 seconds.

Kallner hails from Arizona, where she ran track and field and cross country at Chaparral High School. Starting her young life as a soccer player, she realized running on the track was her calling in high school and began to focus on the sport, training to be able to make it to the collegiate level.

“When I was growing up, my parents competed pretty competitively in endurance sports, like ... triathlons, marathons and bike racing,” Kallner said. “So from a young age I was exposed to all of that, but I really didn’t get into track until high school.”

Kallner not only excels on the track, but is a star student at the University as well. She has won the Mountain West Scholar-Athlete award six times and the Academic All-Mountain West award five times during her tenure at CSU. Kallner looked into CSU for its esteemed veterinary program, though she now studies biochemistry. Academics are a big part of Kallner’s success, as she manages to balance academics, a social life and athletics. After college, she plans to go to physical therapy school and stay involved in the business of athletics.

“It was kind of mutual recruitment here at CSU,” Kallner said.

“I showed some interest, and then they showed some interest in me.

I was pretty drawn to Colorado as a state. I grew up in Phoenix, and I was pretty over jumping in showers after runs.”

Kallner established contact with Siemers, who was highly interested in her for both academics and sports. Five years down the road, Kallner has become an established leader on the team.

“Ali (Kallner) is really positive almost all the time,” Siemers said.

“Because she is so coachable, it

makes our relationship very successful. It’s nice when you have people that are very intelligent and want to learn things.”

Siemers noted the amount of dedication Kallner has put in during her years at CSU. Coming from a low altitude state can certainly be a challenge for athletes, but Siemers said that Kallner had spent a lot of time in Colorado, helping her adapt. Still, it took five years and a lot of training for Kallner to get to the record-breaking position that she’s at now.

When Kallner was a freshman, her high school coach was arrested for sexual misconduct with a minor. The jailing of her coach affected the way she thought of the sport in general, and she was unable to reconcile how someone who was such an important mentor to her would do such a thing. The camaraderie of the Colorado State track and field squad helped her return to form.

“I think that really affected my mentality and mental game in track, and it manifested physically, as it tends to do in these kinds of sports,” Kallner said. “I didn’t think that I could ever replace what he was to me, but this coaching staff has met my expectations and beyond.”

Kallner has a lot of trust in Siemers, who she sees as a mentor.

He often recommends training styles for her and possible events.

For example, Kallner started running in the steeplechase event as per the recommendation of coach Siemers, and the event has become a favorite of hers, as well as a successful one.

Siemers said that they hope for Kallner to become an All-American from the event once the outdoor season starts. Siemers, head coach Brian Bedard and the rest of the staff were instrumental in helping her regain a love for the sport.

“Typically, as a coach, I look at

athletes that I think have a little bit more grit (for the steeplechase) and are not intimidated by the barriers,” Siemers said. “It takes a unique person on the distance team to be successful at the steeplechase, and I just thought Ali (Kallner) had it.”

When Kallner first started training for the steeplechase, the coaches had to simulate the water pit with a sand pit and were worried about Kallner’s preparation for the race. Yet, when the gun finally went off on her first steeplechase, even after falling in water pits, she came in first.

“It is pretty special in a sense that you’re lining up expecting pain and having to grind some things out,” Kallner said on why she prefers distance running to the shorter sprint events. “It gives me an escape from stress versus an added stress.”

The redshirt senior doesn’t just have to focus on school and academics. Being a part of the track and field team means that Kallner needs to maintain a healthy eating and sleeping schedule, which is notoriously hard for students to do.

“The big thing about being a student-athlete at the Division I level is trying to maintain not only your stress and trying to limit that with school and all the things about being a college student,” Siemers said. “Trying to make sure you have a meal before you work out so you have enough energy to get through and trying to have an all-around balanced diet (is important).”

Balance, both on and off the track, is key to Kallner’s game.

“I would attribute (breaking the record) to trying to find the line between not taking myself too seriously and doing everything I can to be good at this sport,” Kallner said.

“I think that’s a goal that a lot of distance runners and competitive athletes struggle with in general.”

CBI tournament canceled due to the coronavirus

By Tyler Meguire @TMeguire

The sports world is seeing many changes as COVID-19 spreads. Recently, the situation has been declared a pandemic. The National Basketball Association is making changes along with other professional leagues.

As of Wednesday, the National Basketball Association, has suspended the remaining portion of the season after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the virus. The San Jose Sharks, the Bay Area hockey team, also announced a three-week ban that would suspend attendance at home games in an effort to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

In college hoops, the Ivy League canceled its conference tournaments for both the men’s and women’s teams. The NCAA just announced the NCAA tournament will be played without fans.

Falling in line with the rest of the sports world is the College Basketball Invitational, as it was announced today that the postseason

tournament will be canceled.

Why does this matter?

The Colorado State men’s basketball team had high hopes this season of reaching the National Invitation Tournament after having a 20-win season. The Rams were one of the top dogs in the Mountain West Conference until their crushing loss to the MW champion Utah State at home and the 24-point loss to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas back in February.

After dropping from third in the MW to sixth in a span of a couple weeks, the Rams’ season still looked good as they were heading into the MW Championships against a team who only won two games in conference play. Then, CSU was a first-round exit to said team, which virtually knocked them out of consideration for the NIT. There was still hope for the CBI until today, when it was canceled.

Now, the Rams have to hope for the CollegeInsider.com Tournament to not follow suit if they want any postseason action. As of right now, the CIT is still scheduled to play.

Jhene Aiko takes a spiritual route on ‘Chilombo’

By Isabella Rayburn & Jorge Espinoza @CSUCollegian

Jhene Aiko is bringing audiences on her chakra healing spiritual journey with her third studio album, “Chilombo,” titled after her last name.

Aiko has been in the music industry for a long time. After her first self-released album in 2011 titled “Sailing Souls,” her career really started taking off. Nearly a decade later, “Chilombo” shows her slow but steady growth as an R&B staple.

Featuring well-known artists like John Legend and H.E.R., the 20-track album has mostly

free-flowing songs. In a unique new direction, Aiko also uses singing bowl therapy in every song and in different keys. The claimed therapeutic benefit of singing bowl therapy is that each note played correlates with a different chakra that activates different parts of the body while listening. Whether or not this is true, “Chilombo” is certainly an ethereal, out-of-body listening experience.

A 20-track album is a lot to take in, and if you aren’t feeling up to the hour run time, here are some of the best tracks on “Chilombo.”

“Triggered (freestyle)” “Triggered,” the first single on the album, is an emotional rollercoaster. Aiko explains that her failed relationship has left her “triggered” whenever she thinks of her previous partner. She goes back and forth between her emotions and wants revenge, but she also wants that type of love back. Aiko shows, through stream-of-consciousness style lyrics, what many women in struggling relationships feel and go through.

“B.S.” ft. H.E.R. “B.S.” serves as the perfect anthem for bouncing back from a toxic ex. The mood here is self-love and manifesting abundance. Aiko ever so gracefully flexes on her ex with the confidence she gained from cutting them out of her life. H.E.R. echoes Aiko’s sentiments and reminds listeners why you should be getting underneath other people once you’re over your ex.

“P*$$Y Fairy (OTW)” On this track, Aiko lures listeners into a world of enchantment.

Your time is her time as she lays it all on the line, letting listeners know that they “can’t get enough” of her. For the album version of the single, Aiko extended the intro of the song, which metaphorically alludes to the thought process behind the song. Aiko is in charge, and she does not disappoint.

“Happiness Over Everything (H.O.E.)” ft. Miguel & Future Aiko takes us on a journey to the past on this track, which is a remix of her song “Hoe” from her 2012 album “Sailing Souls.” This song

is all about sex positivity and no judgment, reminding men not to be afraid of women who are straightforward romantics. She ends the song by reminding us to choose happiness over everything.

“One Way St.” ft. Ab-Soul This track features Ab-Soul, who is a member of Top Dawg Entertainment. Aiko and Ab-Soul have had a strong past together when it comes to music, and this is their sixth collaboration. This track is all about life and questioning sanity within it. She opens the song by saying she is going the wrong way on a one-way street, but in the end, they both come to terms that it is okay to be lost.

“Surrender” ft. Dr. Chill Aiko always shows her confidence in her songs, and this is only one of many. In this track, featuring her father, she explains how she wants her partner to “surrender” themself to her. She also explains how they would “be sorry” if they ever ignored her. Aiko is known for being transparent through her lyrics, and this track shows that. This

track gives the same vibe as “P*$$Y Fairy,” just in a softer tone.

“LOVE” “LOVE” is all about opening up your heart to giving and receiving love. Aiko said on Twitter that this is one of her favorite songs on the album, and she specifically recorded the song in the F key, which correlates with the heart chakra.

Creatively, the first letter of each line in each verse spells the word “love.” This song teaches us to heal through finding happiness in acceptance. Love is abundant when we can accept and grow from hardship.

“Party for Me” ft. Ty Dolla $ign Aiko sets the tone for what she wants her legacy to be when she is gone. In this upbeat single, Aiko and Ty Dolla $ign turn death into a celebration of life. Death is nothing to be afraid of, and being dead doesn’t mean your legacy doesn’t live on. This song reminds listeners to be grateful for the life we have.

Lil Uzi’s long-awaited ‘Eternal Atake’ leaves us satisfied

By Arrion Smith @arriesmith__

Lil Uzi Vert dropped his long-anticipated sophomore album March 6, much to the delight of his cult-like fan base.

Lil Uzi released two singles to tease his fans, with “Futsal Shuffle 2020” and “That Way” being released in December 2019 and earlier in March, respectively. With so much buildup from anticipation, both songs had a great impression and left audiences wanting more.

Before its release, Uzi left subtle messages throughout social media

with hints about “Eternal Atake,” and months later, the 18-track album officially dropped.

“Baby Pluto” The first track on the album is “Baby Pluto,” which starts the record off with the high energies that we expect from Lil Uzi. Coming through with his original sounding beats, some baby noises and ad-libs, this song starts the album off right and was exactly what we were expecting from the artist.

“Silly Watch” “Silly Watch” is essentially about calling out the fake “flexers,” or people who pretend to have money and fame. Since Lil Uzi is staying consistent with the theme of flexing on the posers and haters, this song is perfect.

The artist says, “Got a Richard Mille, this is not a silly watch (woah)/ All this money makes me wan’ hit my Diddy Bop,” referring to his very expensive watch, and follows the verse with ”Make the

haters sit back and just, um, think a lot/ I’m so lit, I could make your strip hot.”

“Chrome Heart Tags” “Chrome Heart Tags” is one of Lil Uzi’s classic love songs about someone that did him wrong; however, this time, he brags about having a chrome heart and remaining immune to heartbreak.

The rapper laments, “I don’t ever want to talk about it/ I don’t ever want to see you/ Everybody, they been changing now.” Here, Lil Uzi establishes that he is not playing.

“Urgency” Compared to most of this album’s theme, “Urgency” is a slower track, featuring R&B artist Syd. This track is more of a love song with a slow melody that still holds that unique Lil Uzi beat. The two in the song are singing about how their significant other is rare, with lines like “Know I need your love like you ain’t ever heard of me.”

This song is a nice change of pace

for the album and shows the versatility that the artist holds.

“P2” Songs released in multiple parts are tricky. On one hand, they are always exciting, but on the other hand, they can leave the listener a little critical. “P2” is the second part to one of Lil Uzi’s most popular songs, “XO TOUR LIF3,” also known as “All my friends are dead.” Lil Uzi raps about showing those who have done him wrong that he is ready to show off his new successes, especially with the chorus, “I don’t really care ‘cause I’m done/ On the real, our love is not fun/ There’s no emotion on my face ‘cause I’m numb/ You see me everywhere you look, no, you can’t hide or run.”

“That Way” “That Way” is a fun song that uses a sample from the Backstreet Boys’ massive hit single “I Want It That Way.” Lil Uzi talks about how he refuses to live a life that he isn’t

happy with, and with the support of those around him, he will make sure that he stays true to himself.

“Bigger Than Life” In the high-energy song “Bigger Than Life,” Lil Uzi raps about his life after getting big in the rap game. With lyrics like “I done made so many millions,/ Ain’t nothin’ to think about,” he highlights the success that he has gained in the last couple years. According to Lil Uzi’s Twitter, this song is about how he made it through space.

“Eternal Atake” was an album packed with a lot of uniqueness and versatility. Lil Uzi Vert really came through with a new spin while still bringing his original vibes. This was a very well-produced album and was a fresh start for the Philadelphia rapper who just recently signed with Jay-Z’s label, Roc Nation.

Top 5 omelets in FoCo to upgrade your most important meal

By Scotty Powell @scottysseus

Life is too short to be wasted eating breakfast one section at a time. This is America after all, where taking time to enjoy life is an act of treason on par with disliking cheeseburgers or peeing on a picture of Tom Hanks.

You have a duty to spread democracy to the far reaches of the Earth. You don’t have time to eat your bacon and then your eggs and then your veggies.

This is why we have omelets — so you can simply mix your bacon, eggs and veggies together into a single, easily consumable lump of edible yellow rubber and hork all three down at once, freeing you to spend more time choking out the spread of communism. But which lump of yellow rubber is right for you? If you’re looking for a compact, hearty breakfast to fuel you up for a day of beating the ruskies, here are the best omelets around town to try out!

Manliest: Mountain Cafe — Mountain Cafe omelet There was a time — a time before Oprah Winfrey reduced the nation into nothing more than a gaggle of prissy, weight-watching health nuts who start each morning off with half a grapefruit and a slice of sprouted multigrain toast with avocado, a time when men were men and spent their free time doing things like growing long scraggly beards and punching kittens and wrestling grizzly bears the way the good Lord always intended — when breakfast actually meant something.

“From a health standpoint, you would probably be much safer simply shoving a cork in your arteries and hoping for the best.”

There was a time when it wasn’t just something you shoved into your face every morning to pass the time while you waited to leave for work, but a meal with real substance and grit and dirt rubbed all over its rugged, beefy, cougar-clawed face that was absolutely necessary in giving one the energy

needed to kickbox wolves with their bare hands.

For those who prefer their omelets big and burly, as in these bygone days of yore, there’s Mountain Cafe’s Mountain Cafe omelet — a surly blend of steak, peppers, cheese and onions all folded into a nice, dense pile of eggs smothered in green chili. Loaded with plenty of fat, protein and pure untamed testosterone, this omelet is a delicious and hefty start to the morning and provides all the fuel necessary for a day of strangling 7-foot-long rattlesnakes in the wilderness.

Fittest: Cafe Bluebird — bacon avocado frittata If pummeling wild animals isn’t your thing and you’re the kind of person who has fallen prey to Oprah’s evil scheme to take over the world one threepoint breakfast at a time, then Cafe Bluebird’s bacon avocado frittata is the option for you. I’ll bet just hearing that name you already feel 2 pounds lighter.

This omelet is so good for you, it’s not even called an “omelet,” but the infinitely classier “frittata.” It sounds like the kind of thing that’s been whispered during a sexy Latin dance in the space between conga drum solos (*dun-dundun-duh-dun!* — *beat* — frittat-ta!).

In all seriousness though, as much as I loathe any and all things that help my heart function properly and further Oprah’s devious plot for world domination, Bluebird’s frittata is actually quite good. In addition to the bacon and avocado, the dish is complemented by a smokey layer of sauteed onions and tomatoes and is topped with melted Monterey Jack cheese, giving it a delicious and hearty flavor without the added calories — so you can eat tasty food while still feeling superior to your ham-and-bacon-guzzling peers. Oprah would be proud.

Most death-defying: Back Porch Cafe — carnivore omelet Mountain Cafe’s omelet might hearken back to the good ol’ puma-pummeling days of the Old West, but Back Porch does one better, hearkening back to the Paleolithic era — when man was not even man yet, but still existed as a belly-scratching, mammoth-meat-munching mashup between Homo sapien and hairy-apien — with its carnivore omelet.

This deliciously greasy pile of ham, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, onions, peppers and cheddar cheese all crammed into an overflowing egg wrap is the perfect meal to awaken your inner proteinpounding, saber-toothed-

spearing Neanderthal.

Plus, it comes served with homemade cheddar sourdough bread and a fully charged defibrillator should things go awry (I’m only kidding about the defibrillator of course. You eat this mountain of cholesterol at your own cardiac risk).

“Biting into the omelet is like opening a Pandora’s box of melted mozzarella. Like a handkerchief being pulled out of the sleeve of a clown, it simply never ends.”

From a health standpoint, you would probably be much safer simply shoving a cork in your arteries and hoping for the best. But then you would miss out on all the juicy, meaty deliciousness that this griddle-fried game of Russian roulette has to offer, and what fun is that? While the dish itself may not be the most heart-healthy, it is certainly the heartiest entry on the list and is worth the risk of consumption.

Smoothest: Silver Grill Cafe — hominy, mushroom and chorizo omelet Admittedly, the hominy, mushroom and chorizo omelet is not a set menu item at Silver Grill, but rather a creation coined by yours truly from the cafe’s “build your own omelet” section. But at the risk of

sounding egotistical (which I most humbly assure you I am not, as you can tell by my use of the word “humbly” to describe my assurance of this fact) my “build your own omelet” is the best omelet ever built by any omelet builder in the history of omelet building.

The chewiness of the hominy offers a nice textural contrast with the spicy, crumbly chorizo and the mushrooms — mushrooms just make everything better, whether it be pizza, stir-fry or the 1939 Technicolor masterpiece “The Wizard of Oz.” However, I can’t take all the credit for this concoction, as it isn’t so much the ingredients that make Silver Grill’s omelet so fantastic, but rather the smooth and shimmery preparation of it. It’s a crisp, clean, tightly rolled pocket of egg that’s smooth, symmetrical and shiny enough that you can see your reflection in it. It’s a simply gorgeous offering.

“Mushrooms just make everything better, whether it be pizza, stir-fry or the 1939 Technicolor masterpiece ‘The Wizard of Oz.’” Cheesiest: Lucile’s Creole Cafe — Creole omelet Put the word “Creole” in front of anything and I have an immediate instinct to shove it

into my mouth. I can’t help it. I would eat a Creole-cooked Cadillac convertible if it were offered to me. There’s something simply magical and addicting about Cajun spices and Creole-seasoned food. It’s a cuisine that has perfected the balance between spicy and salty — so that neither sensation ever overpowers the other. Lucile’s Creole omelet is no exception.

Packed with spicy Louisiana sausage, diced ham, cheese and the restaurant’s signature Creole sauce, then topped off with homemade sausage, it’s a Creole addict’s dream. Beyond the naturally alluring spiciness of its Creole base, it’s the omelet’s endlessly stretchable cheesy filling that makes it such a treat.

Biting into the omelet is like opening a Pandora’s box of melted mozzarella. Like a handkerchief being pulled out of the sleeve of a clown, it simply never ends. It just keeps coming and coming and stretching and stretching on and on forever.

I can only assume that’s why the cafe’s wait is always so long — the second people bite into their omelets, they don’t leave but instead just sit pulling out a single, endless string of cheese day in, day out, for the rest of their lives until they die and turn into dusty skeletons with the cheese strand still clenched between their lipless teeth.

That’s just a hunch though. Regardless, for the lactose-loving individuals among us, there’s no better choice than Lucile’s.

Chess at Breakfast evolves with anti-establishment message

By Ty Davis @TyDavisACW

Darker, heavier and more consistent — these are just some of the ways Fort Collins band Chess at Breakfast said they have improved over the years.

Three years may not seem like a lot of time, but to an artist, it can mean a world of difference in style and philosophy. When it comes to developing style, artists are faced with several questions. Where do I go from here? Where do I go once I get there? And how do I get there without losing what made me popular?

An indie rock band in Fort Collins is like a Subaru in Colorado: usually so prevalent it’s not worth batting an eye at. But Chess at Breakfast is one of the few bands to gain a big following both in and out of this growing university town.

Chess at Breakfast is made up of Caleb McFadden (lead vocals and electric guitar), Justin Daggett (bass) and Mike Davis (drums).

McFadden and Daggett had previous experience making music together, and Davis joined them later to form the trio in the summer of 2016.

The next year, the band released their first EP, “The Gutshalls,” an experimental alternative rock album that drew from the band’s cited influences like Pink Floyd and Queens of the Stone Age. Fast forward to three years later, and the band now has several singles, including a cover of Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy.” They have played shows across Colorado, and they released their debut album “Wealthcare” in May of 2019.

Between “The Gutshalls” and “Wealthcare,” listeners can hear the band’s three-year development.

The band described their attitude on “The Gutshalls” as carefree because of the time in which they made it. Fast forward to “Wealthcare,” and you won’t get a carefree experience.

You’ll hear this dark, gritty, aggressive aesthetic on the album that skirts the edge of metal, with the sensibilities and directness of a classic punk album. Chess at Breakfast’s sound has gotten a lot darker and more politically charged, to which the band says their sound is only going to get darker from here.

“In a word to describe how the sound has changed, I would just say darker, thematically and musically,” Daggett said. “Especially with the music we’re writing now, we’re just getting heavier and darker.”

Despite what would seem to be a clear direction, Chess at Breakfast said there isn’t a lot of deliberation in the artistic direction for their music. They choose to go where they’re feeling and where their instincts take them.

“I think it was pretty natural,” Daggett said. “We were making an album in a time where Donald Trump was running for president, which was a pretty interesting time for everyone.”

The band says the focus on politics for the second album was moreso influenced by their feelings and how much the political climate was occupying their thoughts than a deliberate attempt to make political statements.

“If someone has seen us 15 times and they come to this show, they’re not going to get the exact same show they’ve seen before. There’s going to be something new.”

“It’s all you hear about really; it’s something you can’t get away from, and I don’t think we could get away from it,” McFadden said. “Even in our music, it’s just there, and it’s a force that we just have to deal with.”

Davis made a point to note that no people were mentioned by name in the album, and one focus was to pay special attention to the larger causes at work rather than specific people.

“There were definitely strong (references) to the president, but at the same time, the president is just a symptom of problems we’ve had for a long time, kind of a fatal symptom in a lot of ways,” Davis said. “With ‘Wealthcare,’ it had an anti-establishment vibe to it. The system brought us here, and we’re not okay with where we’re at, so maybe we need to break it down a

little bit.”

But the last three years have not just been an evolution of the band’s sound, but also an evolution for the members as artists.

“I think musically I’ve improved my ability to just fill in the gaps instead of just trying to do as much as I can all the time and also just pure technical skill,” Davis said.

Davis goes on to say that practices and writing music are more free-flowing since the band has spent a lot more time around each other.

“I think I’ve seen the most improvement in confidence from performing,” McFadden said. “Even in daily life, just accepting things the way they happen, like messing up on stages, little failures like that, and just rolling with it.”

McFadden also said the group now approaches songwriting in whatever way they feel is best instead of adhering to an arbitrary structure. Daggett said he’s seen the greatest improvement in his technical ability, saying he tries to practice three hours a day, takes lessons, has decided to go back to school and (at the time the interview was recorded) will audition for the University of Northern Colorado’s jazz program.

Currently working on their second album, the band says they’ll continue with a darker aesthetic for their sound, but they are setting out to make a fully realized concept album. The band is also hoping to focus on performances, aiming to build a bigger following in Denver while also evolving their stage presence.

“With every show, we try to do something new,” Davis said. “If someone has seen us 15 times and they come to this show, they’re not going to get the exact same show they’ve seen before. There’s going to be something new.”

CULTURE & COMMUNITY

5 women artists in FoCo to support for Women’s History Month

By Liz Kelton @CSUCollegian

Art is a powerful tool of self-expression. Women have made huge strides in art, despite largely being forgotten throughout history — but, from waves of empowering feminist art, women are now getting more and more opportunities in various mediums.

Since March is Women’s History Month, it is important to highlight women artists in Fort Collins who express themselves through their respective mediums.

Maudlin Reach — @mello.artwork Maudlin Reach utilizes vibrant colors and a unique combination of shapes and figures in her acrylic on canvas paintings. Her pieces are vibrant, provocative and fascinating. Many pieces contain images of female empowerment, such as gender symbols hidden in imagery. Many of her paintings are also quite spiritual and inspire a feeling of divine femininity.

Crystal Villanueva — @maniniphotos Through digital photography, Crystal Villanueva challenges the traditional ideas of masculinity and femininity. Villanueva utilizes portraits but takes a creative twist with the use of colors and interesting scenery to tell a story of each model. Whether it is through traditional portrait photography or creative photography, Villanueva uses her medium to not only tell her story, but the stories of her clients. Her work can be seen on her Instagram or her website.

Riley Furmanek — @beyondthepale. goods Riley Furmanek, the woman behind Beyond the Pale Goods, creates carefully crafted decor that

can’t be bought at IKEA. Some of her eclectic pieces feature various ethically sourced animal skulls adorned with flowers wrapping around and through the eye sockets and presented in a delicate, handmade glass case — an almost haunting but nonetheless beautiful convergence of nature and aesthetic. To add to her collection of unique accent pieces, she makes dainty necklaces and earrings out of shells and asymmetrical glass plant cases.

Katie Gray — @kgrayartink Katie Gray does live paintings and murals in Northern Colorado.

Her pieces are vibrant, iridescent and psychedelic. They inspire reflection and evoke feminine energy. All the pieces are incredibly intricate and tell a beautiful story.

Gray can also be found on Etsy.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

(03/12/20)

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You need for the people who around you to be intellectually stimulating. You like to live beyond the surface, and there’s no use in being bored.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have nothing to apologize for.

Push past your guilt to see that the hills have not changed. Nothing is burnt to the ground.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) After everything you are finally being rewarded. Why not accept? Don’t let happiness be dulled into normalcy. Appreciate it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Now is not the time to test limits.

Forgive, forgive, forgive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your character was certainly misrepresented. Now is the time to clear the air. It’s never too late to redeem yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23- Sept. 22) It’s as if your values appeared for you on a list. It’s been sitting in your desk drawer this whole time.

lation and sculpture artist. Her installations combine form with place into ethereal pieces. The sculptures follow a style of circular geometric shapes in dreamy ambiance. Additionally, Gilmore creates 2D pieces in a similar style but with the addition of vibrant colors. Gilmore reconceptualizes both form and space, as well as sculpture and 2D. She can be found on her website.

You’ve heard it before: Support women during Women’s History Month. While this, ideally, should be a principle held year-round, it’s especially important to reflect on how exactly to do this. For those who are interested in showing solidarity, one great way is to support women, including those running small businesses, art galleries and restaurants.
