COVER STORY

CSUPD mental health co-responder program launches

By Natalie Weiland @natgweiland

The Colorado State University Police Department launched a new mental health co-responder program to better tailor its services to a wide array of crises.

Under the new Community Support Program, a UCHealth behavior health expert — a co-responder — will be sent along with a CSUPD officer on certain calls in order to de-escalate the situation more effectively and ensure the subject of the call receives the best plan of care.

“Co-responders assist with ensuring people know what resources are available and can access them,” said Stephanie Booco, co-responder program supervisor with UCHealth.

“To this extent, we speak with the people we interact with on calls to get a sense of what, if any, needs they have and if they are open to us helping them connect to resources that can address their needs.”

The program is modeled after a similar program created by Fort Collins Police Services in July 2018, which has seen immense support from community members, according to Booco.

“These types of programs are something the community is recognizing a need for and supporting in a major way,” Booco wrote in an email to The Collegian.

“Co-responders act as a bridge to resources and supports.”

STEPHANIE BOOCO CO-RESPONDER PROGRAM SUPERVISOR

According to SOURCE, the program will launch later in the fall semester following the hiring of a “behavioral health provider,” who will work with a team of officers.

“Once the clinician is hired, they will complete their initial training and then be paired with a CSU police officer,” said Wendy RichGoldschmidt, interim executive director of campus safety and security. “We are hoping to have this team begin to provide services to the

CSU community later this semester.”

Booco said a mental health clinician will ride along with a CSUPD officer to be on the scene for calls that are deemed to warrant a mental health response.

The process CSUPD will use to determine which calls require a coresponder will be refined throughout the pilot year, Rich-Goldschmidt said.

“It is often difficult to know which calls will actually need a co-responder resource, so the decision making and ‘self-assigning’ may be very organic and fluid,” Rich-Goldschmidt said.

In the wake of the George Floyd protests over the last year, increased calls for police reform have been the norm. Legislation such as Senate bill 17-207 and the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020 have given way to programs such as those created

by CSUPD and FCPS. According to CSUPD, the Community Support Program aims to better address mental health situations that would typically be taken care of via the criminal justice system or the emergency room. The intention is to connect those in a crisis with the resources they need to receive proper care.

“In addition to resource education and provision, we also provide

crisis intervention and de-escalation services as well as care coordination and follow-up with those we contact to ensure their needs have been addressed to the best of our ability and to see if they need any additional support,” Booco said. “Co-responders act as a bridge to resources and supports.”

Once a behavioral health professional is hired, the Community Support Program will be able to be accessed by dialing 911 and alerting the operator that you or another individual are experiencing a “mental wellness concern,” according to

CSUPD. The CSUPD website notes that all officers receive training on how to handle a mental health crisis.

Mental health resources for students and staff can be accessed through CSU Mental Health and Counseling Services, and the Red Folder provides resources for CSU employees to aid someone who may be struggling. CSUPD can be reached for non-emergencies at 970-491-6425.

ENVIRONMENT

CSU earns middle sustainability ranking from Sierra Club

By Austria Cohn @austriacohn

Sierra Magazine, a national magazine publication that focuses on conservation and natural resources, recently ranked Colorado State University No. 10 in sustainability for national universities.

The list, which ranked the 20 most sustainable colleges and universities, identified its reasons for placing CSU in the No. 10 spot, including the school’s active use of solar panels, the geothermal exchange system beneath the Intramural Fields and the innovative CSU Horticulture Center.

Carol Dollard, co-chair of the President’s Sustainability Commission and an energy engineer at CSU, said the University has 21 different solar panel arrays going in over the next year. Solar panels are being installed at Laurel Village, the Nancy Richardson Design Center and parts of south campus.

“Nowadays, you can install solar panels and not only reduce your carbon footprint but provide a hedge,” Dollard said.

A hedge is a fixed utility cost, and the solar panels going up around campus are part of a power purchase agreement, Dollard said.

This means CSU has a locked price for electricity because of the solar energy systems.

“The electricity we buy off the grid will continue to escalate for 25 years,” Dollard said. “It will end up saving the University millions of dollars in the long run, so it’s a financial benefit (and) it’s an environmental benefit.”

Namasté Solar, an employee-owned business established in Boulder, Colorado, in 2005, is the company installing CSU’s solar panels.

Namasté Solar’s core values include thinking about their stakeholders and the environmental and local impact on the community, said Eliot Abel, a co-owner and director of commercial project development at Namasté Solar.

“I love the business model,” Abel said. “I love that it’s not just about deploying renewable energy but it’s about doing business in a different way.”

Abel said solar energy is a great option for Colorado because there are so many days of sunshine.

“It’s a clean, free source of energy,” Abel said.

Geothermal Exchange System During the COVID-19 shutdown, CSU installed one of the largest geothermal exchange systems in Colorado beneath the Intramural Fields, which is a ground-source heat pump.

The GeoX is used to heat and cool the Moby Arena complex, which is over 300,000 square feet, Dollard said, and includes the basketball

arena, swimming pool center and sports medicine labs.

“By taking heat out of the arena, you can use the heat pumps to send that heat down the hall and dump it in the swimming pool,” Dollard said. “We’ll extract heat out of the ground, send it through the heat pump and use that to heat the whole Moby complex.”

Because of the way the system works, Dollard said there is no need to worry about contaminating groundwater or anything else.

“It gets us away from natural gas, which reduces our carbon footprint,” Dollard said. “The grid is headed towards 100% renewable electricity — CSU has made that commitment.”

It’s predicted that by 2030, Moby will be nearly carbon-free for heating and cooling, Dollard said.

Horticulture Center The CSU Horticulture Center supplies lettuce and other greens to CSU’s dining halls and makes donations to FoCo Cafe, a nonprofit and mostly volunteer-based restaurant.

“On Wednesday, we had one of our students harvest their table — they box that all up, put it in coolers and then Housing & Dining (Services) comes and picks up that lettuce,” said Joshua Craver, an assistant professor of controlled environment horticulture.

The Horticulture Center is trying to be as sustainable as they can when growing these foods, and one way they achieve this is by using the hydroponics method. Traditionally, growing food requires soil, but using the hydroponics method means they are able to grow food without any soil.

“Hydroponics is basically a completely different way of looking at crop production,” Craver said. “(In) Colorado, where water is a very precious resource, it’s a great way to cut down on water in terms of some of the crops we grow.”

Craver said the plants grow on top of floating wraps, so the plants produce roots down into the water

and take up nutrients that way.

“Water runs down a trough and a hydroponic system, and then we catch that water and pump it back up,” Craver said. “We’re not wasting nearly as much water as we would otherwise.”

According to the Sierra Magazine rankings, the top three universities for sustainability are Arizona State University, University of California, Irvine and Thompson Rivers University.

BIAS INCIDENTS

University responds to white supremacist posters on campus

By Natalie Weiland and Noah Pasley @csucollegian

Posters expressing white supremacist ideals were found on the Colorado State University campus Sept. 10.

One such poster, which was located near the MAX Bus Rapid Transit station, showed black text on a plain white background that read “diversity = white genocide.” The smaller text below the first message included similar messaging. The poster was later removed.

In a statement to The Collegian, CSU condemned the posters, saying, “The message hate groups spread is appalling and counter to the values that we hold as fundamental to our mission as a university.”

“As a state institution, we are essentially legally prevented from punishing, suspending or expelling students who say or write something many of us find insulting, derogatory and disrespectful.”

COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY

A further statement by the CSU ethnic studies department to the campus community read, “We condemn the posters, those who post them and the forces that seek to divide us.”

Both the CSU Bias Assessment Team and the ethnic studies department received reports of the posters.

The appearance of these posters constitutes the second bias-related incident on campus during the current school year after a series of campus preachers in the Lory Student Center Plaza drew sharp criticism of the school’s free speech policies by students. #CallOutCSU, a student organization, formed in the wake of these incidents and organized a campus protest to encourage action by the administration Sept. 17. President

Joyce McConnell met with the group’s student leaders to discuss a course of University action on these matters and to hear their demands.

Following this meeting, McConnell directed the consultation team for incidents of bias to handle the demands presented by #CallOutCSU, according to Director of Communications for Inclusive Excellence Brit Heiring.

Despite acknowledging the posters placed on campus contradict University values, CSU only removes posters and signs on campus that violate University policy on placement, permission and duration of such postings. Under free speech guidelines, the University does not remove postings based on the message they seek to convey, according to CSU.

“Any materials that do not meet those guidelines are routinely removed, regardless of content,” CSU said in a statement to The Collegian.

CSU released a statement to the campus community Sept. 13 regarding free speech and the First Amendment, saying, “We recognize that what is legally permissible for the University to do sometimes doesn’t feel like enough. As a state institution, we are essentially legally prevented from punishing, suspending or expelling students who say or write something many of us find insulting, derogatory and disrespectful.”

Students who experience or witness an incident of bias are urged to submit a bias report.

WEEDOLOGY

Alternative bong water: We tried it so you don’t have to

GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION BY TRIN BONNER THE COLLEGIAN

By Hayden Hawley @hateonhawley

Last week I set out to put stuff in a bong other than water.

Bongs function by pulling smoke through water, which cools it down to create a much smoother sensation when inhaling. But does the water affect the flavor or consistency of the smoke? Could a superior effect be achieved with something different?

After a bit of brainstorming, we landed on three general categories of liquids.

“They said I looked different — changed, even. I spent some time Googling ‘milk in bong death’ but found nothing too worrying.”

Tea I first set out to acquire tea from Golden Poppy Herbal Apothecary located in Old Town. They were extremely helpful. “(Use something) along the lines of herbs that are super aromatic that have a lot of volatile

oils that you’re gonna taste because weed is a pretty strong flavor,” the apothecary recommended. I ended up with pure lavender and their signature Happy Tea, a mix of rose petals, holy basil and peppermint, among other things.

We brewed a few ounces of the Happy Tea and haphazardly poured it into the water chamber once it cooled. After our first hit, we found it gave the smoke a certain fragrance and aromatic warmth that could not otherwise be achieved with water.

We likened it to a regular bong hit with a hug-like sensation to the lungs and throat. The peppermint came through in a cheery back-ofmouth cooling sensation, and it provided a subtly pleasant aftertaste.

The lavender tea was similarly smoother than water and definitely came with the calming warmth one would expect from this particular herb. The scent of the tea itself makes it a worthwhile experience.

If you really need to de-stress and seek a smoother, more relaxing bong rip, brew up some herbal tea and find a funnel.

Juice While purchasing the bong, I consulted with the man working the late shift at Munchies Super Market, who told me to try juice — specifically orange and pomegranate. I took his advice.

Despite the insistent recommendation, we found the pomegranate juice to be among our least favorite. The sugary-sour mix tasted a little too alcoholic, and the acidity was a little too much for us.

Also, it looks a lot like blood when pooled in a water pipe. If you’re looking for a way to spice up your upcoming Halloween party, this could do it on aesthetic alone.

Orange juice proved a little more successful. Learning from the previous experience, we cut it with water to reduce the acidity. It added a nice citrusy draw to the inhale and was quite reminiscent of breakfast.

I cannot in good conscience recommend pure juice as a water alternative. However, a few tablespoons mixed in can add to the experience.

Miscellaneous Everyone I told about the experiment over the several-day period it was conducted had a suggestion for odd stuff I could put in my bong.

Why not Red Bull, McDonald’s Sprite, coffee or coffee beans — just the beans!?

I eventually landed on two weird choices — whole milk and applesauce.

After a lot of procrastination, it was time for the most cursed part of the experiment. We got some milk, filled the water chamber with it and packed a fresh bowl.

I took a single hit, exhaled the smoke and waited. The familiar feeling of milk-film glazed my mouth and lungs. I hacked in disgust, caught my breath and turned back to my friends.

They said I looked different — changed, even. I spent some time Googling “milk in bong death” but found nothing too worrying.

This left me feeling unaffected, perhaps because some of the fat-soluble THC was lost in the whole milk we were using. Milk bong is a truly horrifying experience that only subtracts. Do not try this at home.

Finally, a friend watched as I peeled open a single-serving cup of applesauce and debated how to get it into the water chamber.

“We could just call it here; we could just say we put applesauce in the bong,” one of my friends said. “I (think) the human aspect of ‘we put applesauce in it and realized it was too gross’ is a funner ending than ‘we put applesauce in it and then smoked out of the applesauce.’”

I could not be dissuaded. I had to take it too far.

I spooned the entire cup into the downstem as if feeding a glass baby. Upon a trial draw, we found applesauce alone to be far too viscous, so we mixed in some water.

We shook our heads, packed another bowl and set to it. Still

a little shaken up from the milk thing, I gingerly puffed.

Though my mouth and throat were coated with a thick, sugary film, I did not come nearly as close to vomiting. There was a somewhat nice and autumnal flavor that came with the draw, but it was overall outweighed by the harsh back-ofthroat cinnamon sensation.

On the plus side, using a thicker liquid eliminates unpleasant splashback. If you too own a cheap bong, using a heavier substance limits the annoying drops of water that can splash on your lips.

As someone who did not like to use bongs before this, I thought that trying a bunch of different substances would offer a new perspective on water pipes.

Instead, through trying all of these back to back, I discovered that the best hits always followed cleaning and refilling.

Having to vigorously clean the bong after each use was a solid reminder of the importance of pipe maintenance. As long as you’re not filling your bong with weird stuff, simply rinsing it out after a session will improve the experience 100% of the time. Try tea for a pleasant essence, but other than that, keep in mind that they are called “water pipes” for a reason.

STRAIN REVIEW

Organic Alternatives’ Mai Tai ranks 4/5 buds 2021 NOVEMBER 6TH, 2021 9AM - 2PM

When you think of a Mai Tai, you probably think of the tropical cocktail. Well, this review is not about that, so drinkers, move on, and stoners, take a seat.

Mai Tai is an indica-hybrid cannabis strain cultivated by crossing Sunset Sherbet with Purple Punch. The Mai Tai I tried tested at 25.23% THC and was grown by local dispensary and cultivator Organic Alternatives.

Organic Alternatives has a 10-person cultivation team at their grow facility in Fort Collins, according to Jeremiah Lucas, director of cultivation. They grow their flower organically in a fresh soil mixture of peat and coco and water all of their plants by hand.

“They are deserving of all the accolades for the flower on the shelves at Organic Alternatives,” Lucas said.

Once the cultivation team is done with their work, two additional teams cure, trim and package the flower.

“After trying some of this high-quality organic flower, I was impressed.”

“We are vertically integrated, which means we grow and sell all of our own product,” Lucas said.

“Some facilities grow and then sell to other dispensaries, and some dispensaries don’t have a grow.”

This form of vertical integration allows the cultivation team to better control the quality of flower produced, according to Lucas.

While Organic Alternatives purchases things like edibles and topicals from outside vendors, all of their flower is grown in-house.

After trying some of this highquality organic flower, I was impressed. As soon as I opened the package of Mai Tai, I got a strong citrus scent with slight notes of pine. The dense Mai Tai buds reminded me of changing fall colors — a mossy green with burnt orange highlights from the stigmas and frosty trichomes that are easy to see.

Upon smoking some of this autumnal weed, I got a strong head high, and my eyes were slightly heavier than before. It tasted similar to the smell but with more notes of pine than citrus in the smoke. Being an indica hybrid, the bit of sativa in this strain made me a little jittery at first. But as I kept smoking, the jitters went away and I felt like doing something creative.

For people who often smoke hybrids or sativas, this indica dominant hybrid is great for winding down when you don’t want to entirely fall asleep. I usually only smoke indica strains, so smoking a hybrid for the first time in a while felt different. I enjoyed the motivating effects and calm that followed.

I would give Organic Alternatives’ Mai Tai 4 out of 5 buds. This organically grown cannabis is a great strain for the fall and will hopefully leave you feeling uplifted and relaxed.

SERIOUSLY HEAD-TO-HEAD Two columnists discuss the positive and negative repercussions of watching porn. Cat Blouch, a staunchly anti-porn advocate, argues against the devil-influenced gateway drug to masturbation.

For Blouch, porn is a tricky subject full of ethical dilemmas and completely unrealistic plotlines.

Alternatively, Dylan Tusinski argues that excessive consumption of online porn will lead to crazy results in your upper body muscles, and it’s the perfect way to get your body in tune. Additionally, Tusinski mentions the fact that sex is often half-fulfilling, so doing it yourself through obsessive, chronic masturbation is the perfect way to never leave a sexual interaction unsatisfied ever again.

Did you know that 22% of undergraduate college students have children? That means one out of every five students you talk to on this campus has little ones waiting for them at home.

These students are among the hardest workers at our University because they not only manage work and class but their families as well. What are some ways our University supports these students?

Time to introduce Colorado State University’s one-of-a-kind Ram Kidz Village program!

RKV is located in room 201A of the Morgan Library and operates under the Adult Learner and Veteran Services office. When students enter the RKV classroom, they are struck by the welcoming, cheery space. One side of the classroom is characterized by large glass windows overlooking the CSU Plaza, allowing sunlight to gently warm the classroom floor.

A reading corner is nestled in the upper right corner behind a cute craft table for the children, while the rest of the room holds colorful spaces for toys and exploration.

Between RKV and ALVS, these are the places we want student

parents and their families to call home away from home.

RKV offers up to two hours of child supervision for all enrolled CSU student parents while they study or work in the Morgan Library. Bonus point: Services are completely free for undergraduate and graduate students.

“The aim of these services is for RKV to be a ‘home base’ for student parents, whether they need temporary child supervision, social support or resource assistance in order to best thrive at home and at class.”

Additional services include structured, educational activities during each child’s stay, activity kits for families to take home, resource referrals for families and parents (food, housing, mental health, financial, etc.) and a plethora of virtual activities and parenting information on all RKV social media platforms.

The aim of these services is for RKV to be a “home base” for student parents, whether

they need temporary child supervision, social support or resource assistance in order to best thrive at home and at class.

So here’s to our student parents on campus — to the parent who rises before the sun so they can drive their little ones to school prior to their classes; to the first-generation student who studies tirelessly so they can practice their dream job and provide for their family; to the student parent in their forties who takes whatever part-time classes they can afford while working step-by-step toward their degree; to the international student parent who has adjusted to an entirely new university culture to obtain their chosen degree, allowing their children to witness the attainability and value of a good education.

These are the students our University celebrates and desires to support. You have a place on this campus, and we are here to support you. If you know of a student parent or you are a student parent, spread the word so we can continue to build a community of support on our campus. Please contact our ALVS assistant director, Lisa Chandler, at Lisa.

Chandler@colostate.edu with any additional questions about the RKV program.

COLLEGIAN COLUMNISTS

CSU HDS works hard for sustainability but can do more

By Nathaniel McKissick @natemckissick

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.

Colorado State University has received consistent recognition for its sustainability efforts over the years, and rightfully so. It should come as no surprise, considering the University’s efforts to integrate solar power into their infrastructure, use of campus-grown herbs in dining halls and Moby Arena’s capacity to be heated and cooled by ground-source heat.

“93% of all food waste generated by CSU Dining Services is diverted through composting alongside waste to energy programs — and a good portion of that compost returns to campus in landscaping projects. Leftover cooking oil is recycled as well.”

But in Sierra Club’s annual ranking of “Cool Schools”(sustainably friendly universities), CSU came in at No. 10, behind schools like the University

of California Irvine, Arizona State University and Cornell University.

CSU’s inclusion on Sierra Club’s list is no small feat, considering the sampling size of the ranking, but could CSU do more to rise in the ranks, and if so, what more could CSU Housing & Dining Services do?

CSU Residential Dining Services, specifically, does a lot right. They place an emphasis on purchasing locally sourced products, give leftover food to both students and the Food Bank for Larimer County and allow eligible students to sign up for free meal swipes.

Although CSU prioritizes working with local companies to purchase products and produce, Joe Hostetler, the residential dining procurement manager for CSU HDS, reported that only about 20% of the department’s annual budget is spent on local products. Hostetler said although CSU tries to buy locally sourced products as much as possible, it can be challenging to find suppliers that can keep up with the University’s demands.

“Unfortunately, the academic year is right when (the) growing season wraps up and then starts again,” Hostetler said. “So a lot of the harvest in the area happens in the summer months.”

However, an adjustment to menus could potentially remedy this. According to the Colorado Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association, tomatoes, potatoes, mushrooms and cucumbers are available year-round.

Hostetler also said although CSU works with a local meat distributor — Flatiron Provisions — the product itself is provided by Boar’s Head Provisions Company, a national meat company. To further invest in Colorado’s economy, CSU dining could look to purchase meat

directly from a local meat company.

Leftover food is donated to the Food Bank for Larimer County, and students who sign up for alerts are also able to pick up leftover food from catering events in the dining halls.

According to Nicole Guild, a customer service representative and admin assistant for CSU Dining Services, CSU donated 7,535 pounds of food to the Food Bank for Larimer County in the last fiscal year.

For food-insecure students or those who are impoverished, CSU also offers the Rams Against Hunger Meal Swipe Program, food pantries set up across campus and food pantry delivery for students, faculty and staff who sign up for RamRide Food Ops. Additionally, 93% of all food waste generated by CSU Dining Services is diverted through composting alongside waste to energy programs — and a good portion of that compost returns to campus in landscaping projects. Leftover cooking oil is recycled as well.

The dining halls are adequately stocked to meet the needs of vegan and vegetarian students, too. There are options for a vegan burrito in Parmelee and Corbett halls’ dining area, The Foundry; vegan milk varieties and breakfast items including waffles in Braiden Hall and vegan Mongolian and salad options at Ram’s Horn Dining Center.

Gluten-free options are also accommodated, with gluten-free buns available throughout the dining halls in addition to omelets, scrambles, pasta and even gluten-free options at the Mongolian Grill in Ram’s Horn.

Conversely, though, other schools that ranked higher than CSU on the Sierra Club’s annual Cool Schools ranking, like Arizona State University, also place an emphasis on

the use of cage free eggs, reusable to-go boxes and tray-less dining to discourage food waste. CSU’s Green Dining webpage makes no mention of any of this, and the latter two of the three were not available when I was frequenting the campus’ dining halls as a freshman.

Despite room for potential improvements, CSU Dining

Services does a great deal for CSU’s students — especially those that are impoverished and food insecure.

Though there are things that could make them more sustainable, their efforts don’t go unnoticed and are tremendously admirable.

PICK GUIDE

NFL fantasy football — waiver wire week 4 guide

By Brendon Fairbairn @fairbairn_7

With an exciting week three behind us, it is time to look forward to the waiver wire for week four. If you were the first pick in your fantasy draft, you most likely picked Christian McCaffrey. Previous fantasy owners of McCaffrey know how injury-prone and unreliable he is in fantasy, but don’t worry: My first waiver wire pick can keep your fantasy ship sailing until he comes back from his hamstring injury in a few weeks.

“My final waiver wire recommendation is very familiar to Denver Broncos fans.”

The rookie running back out of Oklahoma State University, Chuba Hubbard, will take over rushing duties until the Carolina Panthers All-Pro rusher can return healthy.

When McCaffrey went down last Thursday night, Hubbard ended up carrying the ball 11 times for 52 yards and saw five targets, catching three for 27 yards.

History does repeat itself: When McCaffrey missed over 10 games last year, Mike Davis took over and was a fantasy starter for a lot of people. Davis played so well he scored a starting gig for the Atlanta Falcons. I believe Hubbard is a better athlete than Davis and will put up even more points than Davis did last year. Once McCaffrey comes back, I would either drop Hubbard or keep him on your bench for safekeeping since his numbers and value will drop tremendously. Until then, he is an RB2/flex option for me.

Sticking with the undefeated Carolina Panthers, Sam Darnold is playing great football and is a mustpickup for anyone with quarterback troubles. He is only owned in 13% of leagues, but that number will skyrocket by the end of this week.

Everyone wrote Darnold off this year because he played so poorly with the New York Jets. To put in perspective how he has improved, he only threw over 250 passing yards once in 2020 with the Jets, but as a Panther, he’s accomplished that in all three games he’s played this season, including 300+ yard performances the past two weeks.

From his first three starts in Carolina, Darnold has 888 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and only one interception. He is also a threat with his legs, scoring three rushing touchdowns on the season, which is huge for fantasy value. In week one, he had 19.06 fantasy points, 18.9 in week two and 25.26 in week

three. Those are solid numbers for any signal-caller in this league.

Even if you have a solid starting quarterback, picking up Darnold is not a bad idea for depth and to make sure no one else capitalizes on his high fantasy value.

My final waiver wire recommendation is very familiar to Denver Broncos fans. Emmanuel Sanders is still playing at a high level, even at the age of 34. He has been a journeyman since he left the Broncos back in 2019, but I think he finally found his

TO REAL WORLD SITUATIONS

home in Buffalo. The Buffalo Bills’ pass-heavy approach really helps Sanders’ fantasy value.

He caught five of his six targets for 94 yards and two touchdowns,scoring 21.4 fantasy points last Sunday, all against a solid Washington Football Team defense. While this was Sanders’ first big game with the Bills, he has been a consistent part of their offensive scheme. The Bills’ schedule gets easier in the coming weeks as they take on the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs, both of

whom have weak defenses. Sanders is only owned in 32% of leagues and should be relatively easy to pick up on waivers since many people look at his age as a problem.

I would highly recommend picking up all three of these players if you need them. They are all solid starting or flex options for your team, especially in deeper leagues. Next week, I will be back for more under-the-radar players you should pick up on the waiver wire. ​​Brendon Fairbairn can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

FOOTBALL

Colorado State falls on the road against No. 5 Iowa Hawkeyes

By Jeremiah Janzen @jeremiahjanzen

Early on, the Colorado State Rams (1-3 overall) looked as though they might just pull off another improbable victory despite being underdogs on the road.

Unfortunately, the fifth-ranked University of Iowa Hawkeyes had a plan of their own, as the Rams fell to the Hawkeyes 24-14.

Colorado State, whose last matchup against a top five opponent came in 2017 against the University of Alabama, headed into the contest coming off of a 22-6 win against the University of Toledo.

Rams quarterback Todd Centeio completed 16 of 30 pass attempts for 155 yards and one touchdown.

Star tight end Trey McBride hauled in six receptions for 59 yards, while wide receiver E.J. Scott hauled in two receptions for 51 yards. The contest marks the first time this season that McBride did not hit the 100-yards receiving mark.

Conversely, Iowa quarterback Spencer Petras completed 15 of 23 completed passes for 224 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, the interception being Petras’ first of the year. Tight end Sam LaPorta caught four receptions for 45 yards and a touchdown of his own.

The Rams attempted to get their passing game going early on; however, Centeio’s struggles once again came to light. On the Rams’ first play of the game, Centeio’s pass was tipped at the line of scrimmage and nearly intercepted by a pair of colliding Iowa defensive backs.

Things would change early on in the second quarter, as it took Iowa only three plays for a score. Petras

found Keagan Johnson for a 43yard touchdown pass, giving the Hawkeyes a 7-0 lead.

Despite struggle, CSU would fire back with a nine-play, 35-yard drive that culminated in a Centeio touchdown run. Centeio would not make the same mistakes on this drive, as he chose to tuck and run multiple times instead of forcing throws, tying the game 7-7.

The Rams later capitalized on the turnover after Centeio found Gary Williams for a touchdown pass. Against all odds, the Rams entered halftime in Iowa City, Iowa, with a 14-7 lead over the No. 5 team in the nation.

Strong pressure from Rams defensive linemen Toby McBride and Scott Patchan would set the tone early in the second half, as

Colorado State halted Iowa on their first drive of the half. Despite the strong defensive effort from the Rams early in the half, the Iowa defense came out even stronger, proving too much for the Rams to handle down the stretch.

CSU running back A’jon Vivens fumbled the ball deep in Ram territory with Iowa linebacker Jack Campbell recovering the ball for a turnover. Immediately following, Tyrone Tracy, Jr. ran for a six-yard touchdown with kicker Caleb Shudak successfully converting his point to tie the game up at 14-14.

“This is a really good football team, and I thought we played tremendous upfront. ... Obviously the chunk plays came in the back end on us, but upfront, we stopped the run. You can’t stop the run better than that.”

These scores quickly turned the tide for the Hawkeyes. After going three and out on the offensive end, CSU allowed their second touchdown of the quarter. A costly pass interference penalty against the Rams allowed Petras to bounce back from his first interception, finding a wide-open LaPorta for a 27-yard score and giving the Hawkeyes a 21-14 lead.

Following 14 unanswered points for Iowa in the third quarter, the fourth quarter would prove to be much the same for Colorado State.

Iowa would increase their lead to 2414 behind a field goal by Shudak — the first field goal of the game. These were the final points scored by either team, as the Rams were held scoreless in the second half.

Despite the loss, the Rams defense proved tough for the Hawkeyes. On the day, the Rams held Iowa to only 54 rush yards total, coming up with several tackles for loss and allowing only one run over 15 yards.

“This is a really good football team, and I thought we played tremendous upfront,” head coach Steve Addazio said. “Obviously the chunk plays came in the back end on us, but upfront, we stopped the run. You can’t stop the run better than that.”

The Rams head into next week looking at a rare week off from competition. After two games on the road, CSU’s next contest will be at home against San Jose State University Oct. 9.

CSU volleyball goes 3-0 in MW, sweeps Border War

By Tyler Meguire @tmeguire

The Colorado State Rams volleyball team knocked the University of Wyoming Cowgirls off their saddles Sept. 28 for the annual Border War match.

CSU entered this year’s Border War with a two-game winning streak at stake. After a dominant performance, the Rams left Moby Arena extending those streaks, adding their third sweep in a row and fourth of the season.

The Rams (7-5) hosted the Wyoming Cowgirls (8-7), and with an attendance of 2,500, fans were ready to see CSU’s most historic rivalry. Prior to Wyoming, CSU swept its first two Mountain West opponents, Boise State University and Utah State University. Before MW play, the Rams were sitting at 4-5, worrying their followers.

It is safe to say the Rams turned things around at the beginning of conference play. After Tuesday’s aggressive performance, the Rams have now won nine straight sets.

A key leader in the Rams turnaround has been Kennedy Stanford. The sophomore outside hitter earned Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week, Stanford’s first career weekly award.

Set one

The match got going similarly to the rest of the matches in

CSU’s run — both teams were unwilling to allow the other to get ahead in set one. However, it did not take long for the Rams to pull away from the Cowgirls.

Midway through the set, CSU went up 11-10. After a few plays and errors made by Wyoming, the Rams found themselves up 15-12.

Then, just a few points later, the Rams extended their lead 21-16. After Wyoming scored two consecutive kills (21-18) — making the crowd wonder if there was going to be a first set comeback — CSU scored four straight to win the set 25-18.

Set two

Set two did not get interesting until late in the round. CSU was scoring in bunches, scoring three or more consecutive points three times for a lead of 21-9. The Cowgirls found some momentum after this score to cut into the deficit; however, CSU closed it out 25-17.

Set three

About midway through the third set, it seemed like Wyoming was ready to cut the cord on the sweep streak. Both teams were scoring at will and were all evened up at 11. The Rams scored four consecutive points to go up 15-11.

Still hanging on by a thread, the Cowgirls stuck with the Rams, finding themselves down 19-18.

The Rams, however, have been able to put some points together late to close out matches — and this

one was no different. CSU scored four straight to extend the lead 2318 but still had Wyoming lingering around. After the Cowgirls tried to make things interesting, the Rams completed the sweep with a final score of 25-22.

CSU earned its 24th straight win against Wyoming with the sweep.

“We have embraced the fact that serving is our biggest weapon of disruption,” coach Tom Hilbert told csurams.com. “We do it well, and we’re consistent. Now we have a threematch road swing. If we can do that on the road too, I feel real good about where we’re at.”

Game Leaders:

Kills: Annie Sullivan (14) Aces: Ciera Pritchard and Alyssa Bert (2) Blocks: Karina Leber (5) Assists: Pritchard (28) Digs: Alexa Roumeliotis (14)

Game Comparisons:

Points: CSU 54.0 - Wyoming 43.0 Kills: CSU 41 - Wyoming 36 Aces: CSU 5 - Wyoming 4 Blocks: CSU 8 - Wyoming 3 Assists: CSU 36 - Wyoming 32 Digs: CSU 40 - Wyoming 43

The Rams head to California Sept. 30 to face California State University, Fresno, for their first conference away game.

‘The Alpinist’ explores a climber’s essence through his trek

THIS WEEK’S FEATURES: GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION FROM THE COLLEGIAN ARCHIVES

By Ivy Secrest @ivysecrest

In a world laced with an incessant need for credit and validation, the perspective of Canadian mountain climber Marc-André Leclerc was a breath of fresh air. Through the tireless work of Nick Rosen, Peter Mortimer and the contributing film crew of “The Alpinist,” the audience is allowed a glimpse into the life of this true free spirit encumbered only by the limitation of life itself.

If I said the newly released documentary, “The Alpinist,” didn’t leave me shell-shocked and in need of a late-night trip to Horsetooth Reservoir to ponder life, I would be lying through my teeth.

Fans of “Free Solo” remember how the film built up to a singular climb hinged on the intensity of a ropeless summit and an excess of planning. Leclerc is a completely different type of climber from Alex Honnold of “Free Solo.” “The Alpinist” shared the same intensity over several climbs with none of the preparation and relatively little video footage to commemorate the accomplishment.

When “Free Solo” was released, it shook the world, making climbing more of a spotlight sport ever since. What once was the sport of misfits is now a great way to gain followers and become minor celebrities on the internet.

“The Alpinist” focuses on a man who rejects the fame associated with his sport.

This is the magic of Leclerc. In the film, he is a free spirit with no phone and minimal attachments, and he climbs for the sake of experience rather than exposure and recognition. The purity of his enjoyment of climbing is beyond that of any standard sportsman.

Watching him document himself scaling Torre Egger in Argentina, switching between different types of boots, climbing ice and rock and even sleeping on the face of the mountain was nerve-wracking.

Yet Leclerc seemed unfazed by the daunting tasks ahead of him.

The idea that one man could conquer previously unconquered routes and shake the entire rock climbing world without ever preparing is a testament to humanity.

He is a man outside of his time, a being who doesn’t fit into the modern era.

This film allows us to see a man whose spirit and sense of self should serve as a reminder as to why we do anything: to feel alive. Being alive is to experience, not be observed. In this sense, Leclerc’s climbing isn’t meant to be observed. As he describes it, it wouldn’t be soloing if someone was there.

This film chases Leclerc from mountain to mountain and has the audience gripping their seats, hoping he makes it out of every scenario the same upbeat man he went into it as. His love for his girlfriend and fellow climber, Brette Harrington, and the sport will have you enamored with his kind soul and radiant being.

Though this story doesn’t end with Leclerc being an indestructible force of nature, the impact this film will leave on you is truly indescribable. It isn’t often a person can touch the souls of others through media, but Leclerc and Harrington were genuine in their purpose and goals to the point where leaving the theater uninspired to pump that same spirit into your own life was nearly impossible.

CULTURE & COMMUNITY

Story Circle helps API students find commonality

By Kota Babcock @kotababcock

Tucked inside the Lory Student Center, the Asian Pacific American Cultural Center gives students a place to discuss racism in a way no administrative reporting system can.

Despite how Colorado State University works to offer more information on hate-based incident reporting, these options don’t typically provide for survivors to connect with their community about issues of racism. As an addition to reporting, APACC runs a program called Story Circle. At the weekly Story Circle, students share their experiences of racism and discrimination with other students of similar experiences and are validated in the space.

While students can discuss specific incidents or events, they can also go over issues they experience in a broader sense. This means homesickness for students who grew up in predominantly Asian and Pacific Islander communities can also be a point of discussion and getting used to a lack of celebrations for certain holidays is another conversation point.

Story Circle also asks students not to disclose the information shared in the space with others unless they have permission, allowing some students to feel safer communicating what they’re going through.

With the help of Story Circle, students can feel more empowered to emotionally recover from these incidents and work with friends to find their place at CSU. Even though CSU’s tools for reporting are important, some students need more than just University recognition that it happened.

“Through campus, you could just submit a bias incident report, and it just goes on the report ... and there’s no support to it,” Dinard Jesse Gonzales, a former staff member and student attendee of Story Circle, said. Gonzales said he enjoyed the emotional support it offered but hasn’t attended recently due to schedule conflicts.

Gonzales joined APACC as a transfer student. He said finding APACC and Story Circle made him feel welcome and valued at CSU. Story Circle showed him how many Asian and Pacific Islander students were going through something similar and made him realize he wasn’t alone in struggling to navigate college life.

By moving beyond the logistical end of simply reporting, Story Circle allows students who are

scared to report or those who weren’t happy with the results of reporting to speak about the incident and take ownership over how the incident impacted them on an individual level. By hearing other students talk about their own struggles with racism at CSU, Asian and Pacific Islander students can find themselves in a community that can uniquely relate to them and build trust within that space.

In addition to the emotional validation offered by APACC’s Story Circle, it gives a much-needed forum showing how experiencing racism can look different based on the racial or ethnic group experiencing it.

“I don’t think — in the mainstream conversation about racism — Asian Americans come up that often,” said Carl Murray Olsen, the assistant director of APACC. Along with a place for Asian students to address anti-Asian hate on campus, they are also given a space to discuss microaggressions and other less obvious forms of racism that might otherwise be brushed off by non-Asian peers or mentors.

In Fort Collins, anti-Asian racism was further perpetuated by a racist fake restaurant listing in July 2020 that included a slur in the name. The listing was taken down after being reported, but it highlighted how anti-Asian sentiments continue to exist in Fort Collins. Due to issues like these, Story Circle is especially important and allows for conversations to begin healing the community.

Fort Collins and Colorado weren’t alone in a surge of anti-Asian racism.

Stop AAPI Hate, an organization that focuses on issues of anti-Asian racism, reported over 9,000 anti-Asian hate incidents in the United States in a little over a year. Chinese people reported the most hate incidents compared to other groups, and Asian women are also more likely to be targets.

Incidents include verbal harassment, physical assault, civil rights violations and online harassment.

As a result, many Asians and Pacific Islanders around the United States have continued focusing on efforts to end widespread Asian hate on a larger scale while also working to tell stories of the experiences of minority communities in the U.S. For information on how to be part of APACC or Story Circle, reach out to Murray Olsen by emailing carl.murray_olsen@colostate.edu.

By Anna Jelden Plants can be a great way to decorate your home, apartment, or give life and vibrance to a dull space. Being a plant parent may seem intimidating if you don’t know where to start. However, there are many houseplants that require little maintenance and can thrive in a variety of conditions.

BURGUNDY RUBBER TREE Ficus elastica ‘burgundy’

Plant Bio The Burgundy Rubber Tree has broad, glossy leaves that are dark green and burgundy. It’s native to rainforests in South America and India.

This plant is great for beginners because it’s very easy to grow and is low maintenance. It thrives with a consistent, bright indirect light. Once you pick a spot for your Rubber Tree, try and keep it there because it doesn’t like change. Due to its large leaves, this plant easily collects dust; so remember to wipe its leaves down often.

Rubber Tree leaves are also mildly toxic for humans and pets. This plant loves well-draining soil! Try using a soil mix with perlite, coarse sand, and orchid bark to increase drainage.

Prefers bright indirect light, can tolerate low light Water every 1-2 weeks, top half of soil should be dry Can be misted once a week, prefers temperatures of 65°F - 78°F

Did You Know?

It’s possible to care too much for your houseplants.

One of the most common causes for houseplant death is overwatering! All houseplants will have different watering needs and these can vary/change depending on the season, how much light they are getting, and how old the plant is. It’s safer to underwater than overwater, because letting your plant’s roots sit in water for long periods of time can lead to root rot.

Wes Kenney apoya a la sinfónica al regresar a conciertos

Wes Kenney, profesor y conductor de la Escuelas de Música, Teatro y Danza en la Universidad Estatal de Colorado prepara a sus estudiantes para un concierto, 14 de septiembre.

Traddución de Sarahy Quintana.

Mientras los músicos de todo el país se enfrentaban a la devastadora pérdida de conciertos en vivo, el director de orquesta Wes Kenney ofrecía soluciones innovadoras para su sinfónica. Ahora, entra a una nueva temporada con “Reflexiones: Las emociones de la música”, que se espera que sea completamente en persona con opciones de streaming.

Mientras COVID-19 cerró salas de recitales, Kenney se esforzaba por conseguir que los músicos trabajaran y encontraba formas de pagarles cuando el trabajo no era opción.

Kenney trabaja de profesor en la Universidad Estatal de Colorado, además de dirigir la Sinfónica de Fort Collins, y es un miembro muy conocido de la comunidad de Fort Collins.

“Wes forma parte de la comunidad, y eso realmente ayudó (durante COVID-19)”, dijo Ethan Hecht, violista principal y el bibliotecario

de orquesta de la sinfónica. “Conoce los lugares, conoce a las personas implicadas. ... Wes fue muy dedicado y realmente se preocupó de que los músicos pudieran volver a trabajar lo antes posible”.

Kenney y su orquesta anhelaban volver a los escenarios, pero mucho dependía de las restricciones de salud locales y que tan seguro de sentiría el público. Junto con su personal, Kenney preparó una temporada que permitiría asistencia en persona y digital.

“Hace casi 20 meses que no hemos tenido conciertos regulares con una orquesta completa”, dijo Kenney.

“Todo indica que la gente está realmente emocionada por poder volver a escuchar música en vivo”.

El trabajo de Kenney inspira y expresa su visión del mundo. Esta temporada, Kenney expresa la variedad de emociones que sintió con su comunidad y con su sinfónica a través de las canciones.

En su regreso, la sinfónica presenta canciones con emociones que van desde la conexión hasta el anhelo y la rabia. Con compositores que

Es muy bonito ver cómo las orquestas vuelven ahora y se dan cuenta de la cantidad de música que hay por ahí y que no ha sido tocada o ha sido olvidada.”

Entre las composiciones presentadas se encuentra una pieza de Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, un compositor negro del siglo XX que escribió el arreglo musical basado en un poema que describe la guerra,

el cambio y la muerte. Además, se interpreta “Banner” de Jessie Montgomery en lugar del himno nacional y como una mirada al futuro de lo que el himno nacional puede significar para todos los estadounidenses.

“Espero que (la comunidad) siga a Wes”, dijo Hecht. “Espero que sigan su introducción (a nueva música y directores)”.

“Reflexiones” celebra la capacidad humana de sentir en cuatro diferentes conciertos. Los conciertos llevan el nombre de las emociones más destacadas con “Furia, Contemplación y Esperanza”; “Energizado, Inseguro y Triunfante”; “Solemne, Alegre y Extático”; y “Ansioso, Tierno y Alegre”.

Los conciertos presentan una mezcla de composiciones famosas y menos conocidas, mostrando la dedicación de Kenney y la orquesta para aportar algo nuevo a esta temporada.

“No siempre se escucha sólo como una experiencia auditiva”, dijo Kenney.

“También es una experiencia sentida porque las vibraciones de la sala de conciertos llegan a ser tan importantes

en ese impacto general en alguien que está sentado allí escuchando”.

Con “Reflexiones”, la sinfónica intenta celebrar las nuevas y duraderas conexiones que tiene con los miembros del público, a la vez explora cómo el año pasado ha cambiado el mundo.

Kenney cree que las orquestas tienen un papel único para ayudarnos a entender las emociones.

“Lo que tocan las orquestas sinfónicas explora todas las partes de la experiencia humana”, dijo Kenney.”Reflexiones: Las emociones de la música” empieza su temporada con su primer concierto del año en el Lincoln Center, situado en el 417 W. Magnolia St. de Fort Collins, a las 7:30 p.m. el 2 de octubre.

La violinista invitada Linda Wang se unirá a la sinfónica en el escenario para tocar la “Serenata tras el Simposio de Platón” de Leonard Bernstein, y otros conciertos incluirán a músicos invitados para celebrar los conciertos en vivo.
