Student government presidential candidate renounces Turning Point USA affiliation

By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98

Colorado State University student government presidential candidate Liam Aubrey announced his campaign has no affiliation with Turning Point USA on the campaign’s social media Thursday evening.

TPUSA is a national conservative student group with a local chapter on campus.

Presidential candidate Liam Aubrey said, while he was formerly involved with TPUSA because he agreed with the financial values of the organization, he distanced himself because he does not agree with the organization’s

views or the views of the speakers TPUSA endorses.

“I am a political conservative, but I feel that (TPUSA’s) views are not representative of my own,” Aubrey said. “Ultimately, my main value when it comes to politics is just figuring out how we can help people and do the most good for the most people. I think sometimes the

shock value stuff is not the most productive way to get to that.”

TPUSA has been known to help student government campaigns on college campuses across the country, such as at Ohio State University and the University of Maryland, by financially assisting campaigns, encouraging TPUSA members see AUBREY on page 4 >>

While back of house composting is already in effect for some of the restaurants in the Lory Student Center, members of Associated Students for Colorado State University and the Zero Waste Team are pushing for front of house composting to be initiated in the student center.

Back of house composting for the eight restaurants in the LSC that are owned by the LSC includes composting waste from the kitchens of those restaurants. Front of house composting would consist of getting composting bins in the common area of the LSC for the community to use.

Last July, back of house composting began in the LSC owned restaurants, explained Geoff Valdez, the assistant director for retail operations in the LSC. Valdez said it took about three quarters of a year to get to that point, as there was a large education piece that came with back of house composting.

Valdez said currently, front of house composting options are being explored for the LSC. “We’re doing our homework, and seeing what other institutions have done,” Valdez said. “We’re looking at this logistically. We are trying to plan out the education piece so that there is less sorting to do front of house and so our custodial team and our LSC guests—everybody—is on the same page. We want to get it right from day one.” see LSC on page 4 >>

CAMPUS/CITY

PhD candidate asks University to repurpose Hughes

By Samantha Ye @samxye4

Hughes Stadium is on the way to demolition, but Colorado State University PhD candidate, Aaron Million, feels is does not have to be that way.

Million wants the University to repurpose the concrete base of the stadium by turning it into a pumped storage hydropower plant.

During the day, when electricity is highly demanded and consequently more expensive, water from Horsetooth Reservoir would flow down to the plant, generating electricity via turbine.

The electricity would be transferred to the electrical substation at Overland Trail and Drake Road and distributed to the grid. All the equipment would be underground so it would not disturb nearby residents.

At night, when electricity demand and prices fall, the plant would pump the water back up to Horsetooth. This process would be repeated daily and the difference in energy costs would generate a positive revenue stream for the University, as well as promote green energy.

Pumped storage systems act as batteries, ideally storing the energy unused at night and releasing it when demand is high during daytime. Their ability to respond quickly to energy demands stabilizes the volatility of solar and wind energy, according to the Department of Energy.

With Horsetooth Reservoir 222 feet above the stadium and an electrical substation nearby, Hughes is in the ideal location for pumped storage development and an ideal infrastructure project for CSU, Million said.

“As the supposed ‘green energy’ campus, why aren’t they (CSU and the Board of Governors) seriously considering this?”

Million said.

About a year and a half ago, Million presented his idea to various University and City staff but has not made much progress since.

Fred Haberecht, campus planner, said when CSU facilities engineers looked at the proposal, they found it would take centuries to recoup the cost of building it. He also said Hughes would not be able to serve as a water tank.

“We have a football stadium that is not a vessel,” Haberecht said. “No civil or structural engineer would ever consider it so—it is inconceivable it could be used as a ‘pond.’”

The University declined to provide further technical details, stating they did not want to give Million’s proposal unwarranted validity.

Haberecht said pumped storage is just one of many suggestions the University has received about what to with Hughes Stadium. Facilities did not study the idea further because they did not believe it warranted a closer look.

Million disagreed with

Haberecht’s statements and said the University should pause the demolition of Hughes to at least do a structural evaluation of its base.

In an effort to provide more proof of concept, Million brought in the senior capstone engineering class, who did their own calculations for the operational feasibility of the project. He also worked with Neil Grigg, a civil and environmental engineering professor.

Using rough estimates of Hughes and other standard pump/ turbine calculations, Million, Grigg and the senior design team estimate a Hughes hydropower station could generate between 31,000-40,000 kwh of energy per day and use 37,000-43,000 kwh per night.

“I don’t think Aaron is as crazy as some people think,” said Andrew Harris, a senior on the project design team. “The engineering works out. I think the school should really look at it again.”

In an email to The Collegian, Grigg wrote the idea is innovative and could work in theory but due to the many currently unknown factors involved, he could not recommend the University look deeper into the proposal.

As of now, both the economic and structural feasibility of the project are up for questioning.

Million’s side estimates pumped storage could bring in between $670,000-1.9 million of net revenue annually, using residential time-of-use electricity

Office.

CSU is currently looking at developer applications for the land. Once chosen, the developer will complete the final zoning designation with the City. Based on CSURF’s Request for Proposals, the land will ideally become a mixed-use development with possible opportunities for open space and a housing component.

Million said building a pumpstorage system with the stadium should not interfere with selling the remainder of the land. In fact, he also proposed CSU turn that land into a second Olympic training facility, possibly through a partnership with Elon Musk.

“The University reminds me of a horse with blinders on-they’ve set their plow and they’re headed to the end of the field, and they aren’t looking at what they should be looking at which is green energy,” Million said. “It’d be a damn shame if they lost this chance.”

rates from Xcel Energy. Harris said he was confident repurposing costs would be $40-50 million, based on their research of similar projects.

Hughes’ demolition, which was approved in fall, has completed the abatement process and moved onto actual demolition, where the contractor begins to take the structure apart.

Tony Flores, facilities project manager, said they were confident the demolition, which will last through summer, will stay within the approved $5.5 million budget.

They will also work with the contractor to have as much of the deconstructed materials resold or repurposed, which would lower the cost of demolition, Flores said.

In February, the Board of Governors also voted to annex the property into the city. CSU anticipates filing for a Application for Annexation requesting a T-Transition zoning by late April, according to Nancy Hurt, managing director in CSU Research Foundation, Real Estate

LSC >> from page 1 Haley Dallas, the deputy director of environmental affairs for ASCSU and a member of the CSU Zero Waste Team, stated front of house composting holds a very different set of difficulties than back of house.

“There’s so many more people that interact with the compost stream when you are doing front of house,” Dallas said Dallas explained to implement front of house composting within the LSC, three things would have to happen: the creation of composting receptacles, implementing single use utensils that can be composted

Aubrey >> from page 1 to run for student government, and endorsing candidates, according to The Chronicle.

According to the ASCSU Elections Code, candidates are not allowed to receive donations that exceed the $1,250 spending limit.

In an email to The Collegian, Isabel Brown, the CSU chapter president of TPUSA, wrote the chapter only received funding from the national organization for their event hosting Charlie Kirk in early February. None of the current student government campaigns have received funding from the organization, Brown wrote.

According to campaign finance documents obtained

by The Collegian, Aubrey and his running mate Lynsie Roper have not received any funding from TPUSA, or any other outside organization, to aid their campaign.

“I can say with all certainty, looking at my own bank account, that we are not being funded by anyone or anything like that,” Aubrey said. “We’re doing this because we truly do believe in CSU, we love CSU, and Lynsie and I, despite having very different political views, want to make (ASCSU) a nonpartisan (organization). We want to make this an organization that is not political but is totally focused on service. We are here for all students, and we want to work for every single one.”

Brown wrote in an email to The Collegian that TPUSA focuses on limited government, free markets and fiscal responsibility.

“Specifically at Colorado State, Turning Point USA is dedicated to breaking

and educating the public.

Dallas said the most difficult aspect of this three part system is educating students, faculty and guests on the front of house composting system.

“There is, as we have seen this year, such an interest in the student body in having more waste diversion options.”

HALEY DALLAS DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS FOR ASCSU

“Educating people on properly composting and properly recycling is so barriers between students and community members of juxtaposing political ideologies and starting a campus-wide dialogue about how we are, in fact, better together,” Brown wrote.

Speculation about Aubrey’s affiliation with TPUSA arose from the student group Students Against White Supremacy, which has been outspoken about how TPUSA could influence the student government elections.

SAWS also accused TPUSA of white supremacist rhetoric during the CSUnite event on March 29, has spread flyers with the Intersectional Activism Network of a Ku Klux Klanesque figure with the TPUSA logo and has questioned the Aubrey-Roper campaign in their social media posts about Aubrey’s affiliation with the organization, which led to the campaign making a statement that the campaign has no affiliation with TPUSA. “We will not reinforce hatred with more hatred, but rather by standing together because unity and conversation is what makes this campus a home for everyone,” the campaign wrote.

“This campaign is dedicated to creating a mindful atmosphere as a core value of our campus.”

Aubrey said that his campaign shares the same goals of helping students like SAWS. “I truly do believe in the mission of stopping hateful rhetoric on campus,” Aubrey said. “I think honestly the primary value of what Lynsie and I are trying to do … is, in a very unifying way, trying to help students … We really want to move past a lot of the political conversation because at the end of the day, student government … is just an organization that helps students. It’s not a partisan organization.”

difficult,” Dallas said.

Dallas added that beyond capturing the attention of students, one of the difficulties of composting is it can be difficult sometimes in deciphering exactly which materials can be composted, as there can be several nuances to every material, including some cardboard.

“There are all these weird little quirks to all of the various different materials we have, and so there is no uniform process for what materials need to go where,” Dallas said, adding some students may not know or may not be worried about composting. These two things make educating the public very difficult, Dallas said.

Maggie Gilman, a member of the Zero Waste Team, explained she feels that front of house composting is in

the best interest of CSU, as it aligns with the goals of the university. “(The University) has endorsed the city’s goal of moving to zero waste by 2030,” Gilman said. “Knowing why those goals exist is also important, and that is because our landfill is filling up.”

According to the City of Fort Collins, the Fort Collins Landfill is expected to reach capacity by 2025.

“The university is an (agriculture) school and we produce a lot of this food and our lands in the country work really hard to make agriculture land,” Gilman said. “When there is a surplus of food and we throw it in the landfill, all that work was for nothing. But if we can use that food to turn back in accessible nutrients for plants, we can resupply our soil with nutrients and that’s a

huge asset to a land grant, ag university.”

Dallas and Gilman both added that any students interested in composting and helping push for composting should contact the Zero Waste Team to get involved.

“If we look at the LSC, it is such a symbol of student involvement, student initiative and such a place for students,” Dallas said. “There is, as we have seen this year, such an interest in the student body in having more waste diversion options. I think it would be a really powerful method to allow students every day to participate in more forward thinking waste diversion methods like composting.”

Career Center, alternative transportation proposed fee increases at SFRB

By Charlotte Lang @chartrickwrites

Representatives from the Career Center and the Alternative Transportation Fee Advisory Board met with the Student Fee Review Board Monday afternoon in order to propose fee increases for their corresponding organizations.

Katie Flint, director of employer connections and operations, and Katie Lloyd, director of career education, presented for the Career Center.

Other representatives present included Summer Shaffer, Barb Richardson and Jamie Moyer.

The Career Center asked for a fee increase to cover mandatory costs. Lloyd said the center is expecting to be fully staffed next year and hopes to begin moving initiatives forward.

“For the past two years we’ve waived that mandatory fee increase,” Lloyd said. “This year… we project we will need that increase in order to sustain our future budget needs.”

Salaries and benefits are both areas where the Career Center most needs the increase. Flint said the center employees 25 fulltime workers and 33 part-time or student workers— workers who would be affected by the raise in minimum wage.

Flint also spoke of the fact that the center’s executive director position has been vacant for nearly a year and that they do not expect to have it filled until the early summer. This, along with a few other unfilled roles, is another area where the salary budget would be increased from last year.

At the end of the presentation,

Flint answered a question on whether or not the center expects to see a need for a fee increase next year.

“It’s hard to say because without our next executive director being here, we don’t know what their vision is going to be,” Flint said. “I can say at this moment that we wouldn’t but I don’t want to speak for the next director, either. That will certainly impact next year’s budget.”

ATFAB’s proposal was run

by Hanna Johnson and Wendell Stainsby, chair and vice chair of the organization.

Johnson asked for ATFAB’s existing fee of $26.73 per semester for full-time students to be increased by $4.27, totaling to $30.50 a semester for students.

Johnson said this would go towards the organization’s funding pool.

“I realize that the increase seems like a lot but please understand we are only a two and a half year old board so we can’t really serve students the way we’d like with our current funding pool because we don’t have a funding pool,” Johnson said.

Stainsby followed this with an explanation that 67 percent of students use alternative means of transportation— biking, walking, bus riding, etc— but do not have a funding pool dedicated to them.

He said ATFAB’s goal is to keep these students safe.

The two showed several examples of how students are currently in danger as a result of the current transportation systems. One such example was a video Johnson took of a car nearly hitting a biker near the Oval.

“This is not ideal and should not be happening on our campus,” Johnson said.

The meeting ended with a discussion on the two presentations and planned to vote on it next week. Last week’s presentations— athletics and the University Facility Fee Advisory Board — were also discussed. Athletics was tabled for next meeting as a result of the representatives not yet getting back to the board. UFFAB’s proposal was approved.

Net neutrality event Juchau elected as RHA Director coming to Morgan Library of Marketing and Promotion

By Austin Fleskes @Austinfleskes07

“Don’t Let Big Cable pinch the Internet,” a net neutrality event, is part of a series promoting public discussion of topics concerning technology and how it affects the everyday lives of citizens held by Morgan Library.

This event will be held on April 4 from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Morgan Library Event Hall. Other events in this series included the “Information, Misinformation and Disinformation” symposium held in early March.

This question-andanswer session about net neutrality will be led by Colin Garfield, the campaign lead for the Fort Collins Citizens Broadband Committee. This committee was instrumental in the campaign to pass Ballot

Measure 2B in November.

Garfield is a former Geographic Information System cartographer and founded the Broadband and Beers group in Fort Collins.

He is involved in bringing municipal broadband to Fort Collins.

David Ramsay, the director of strategic relations and administration operations for Morgan Library, stated he feels it is a very timely issue to discuss, as well as an important discussion to have with both students and faculty across Colorado State University.

“Students and faculty should understand what net neutrality is,” Ramsay said.

This event will be free and open to the public.

Emma Juchau, a freshman studying equine sciences, was elected as the Director of Marketing and Promotion for Residence Hall association Monday evening.

Her roles as DMP include producing advertising and marketing material for RHA events and programs, managing RHA social media and managing the RHA website.

“I really want to promote the message and mission of RHA and what we’re doing to make that mission a reality,” Juchau said. “I really think that not only advertising in one form, but also reflecting on what we did can really multiply the impact that we have.”

Juchau’s background includes being apart of her high school newspaper staff, which Juchau said helped her develop important skills

that she will be able to utilize in her new position.

“I was on the school newspaper and while there I did design, photography and all of those aspects of journalism that will carry into marketing,” Juchau said. “It’s not exactly the same, but it’s a lot of transferable skills.”

KyraFerguson,RHApresident, said the DMP position is vital to RHA because it represents RHA presence on and around campus.

“The (Director of Marketing and Production) is pretty much the only way that we can communicate with people who aren’t in RHA with what we’re doing and about what upcoming events we have,” Ferguson said. “For example, the DMP makes all the posters and social media advertisements.”

As the new DMP Juchau said she wants to improve RHA presence by using video to better connect with people outside of

RHA. “I really want to incorporate video more,” Juchau said. “A lot of what I want to do is promote the mission of what RHA is and how we’re going about that, and I think that video conveys a story and emotion that a lot of other mediums can’t, so I really want to utilize that expresses who we are and what we do.”

Overall, Ferguson said Juchau fits well into her new role as DMP because of her strong understanding of marketing.

“I think she came into this election with a full understanding of what the position requires,” Ferguson said. “She demonstrated how well she understands marketing, and she showed understanding of how much of the digital side that she’s going to have to do.”

NC student ‘fascinated’ by school shootings had blueprints, evacuation plans

By Jane Wester

The Charlotte Observer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Police found blueprints of campus buildings and evacuation plans this month in the off-campus apartment of a University of North Carolina at Charlotte student who wrote about why he wanted to commit a school shooting, according to search warrants obtained by the Observer.

The student discussed an “explicit detailed plan ... about killing and harming our students and staff,” a UNCC police officer wrote in one search warrant. When police searched his room, they found the university’s emergency response guide attached to his wall, opened to the page about active shooters.

UNCC police learned about potential issues with the student on March 3, when a police officer

in King, northwest of WinstonSalem, called to say that the student had gone to a medical clinic in King to talk with a doctor about ongoing mental health issues.

The student told the doctor “he could not wait to buy a gun and shoot the university (UNCC) up,” adding that he was fascinated by school shootings and frequently used Reddit to learn about them, the search warrant said. “(The student) stated he loves watching humans getting killed and has been watching YouTube videos on Columbine and other school shootings,” the search warrant said. “(He) also stated the reason most school shooters are not successful is that they fail to plan their attacks.”

The doctor in King was worried enough to contact police, and the student was voluntarily committed to a hospital. UNCC

High quality, affordably produced video

Police Chief Jeffrey Baker said Monday afternoon that the student was still in the hospital and police don’t know when he’ll be released.

Police said the student will be arrested for trespassing if he comes onto UNCC property, but according to a search warrant, he said he’ll stay in an apartment near the university.

UNCC sent an informational alert to students on March 12, saying police were investigating a student who had talked about committing gun violence on campus.

Police seized a laptop, posters, composition books and blueprints from the student’s room but did not find any weapons, according to the search warrants.

The Collegian Editorial Board endorses You

By Collegian Editorial Board @CSUCollegian

Editor’s note: This is an editorial. Editorials do not reflect the view of all employees of The Collegian, but instead represent a stance taken by The Collegian’s editorial board, which consists of the editor-inchief, the managing editor, the digital production manager, the news editors, the opinion editor, the sports editor and the arts and culture editors.

The Collegian historically provides an endorsement of one presidential student government campaign.

Whether or not that candidate wins is a different story (in the past four years we’ve watched all four endorsed candidates lose), but it is a tradition intended to provide additional context to student voters from the people who watch them the closest.

Most typically, the editorial board would sit down with each of the campaigns, and then we would take a vote on who to endorse. But, this year, we feel it would be in poor taste to endorse a candidate under

a false guise of objectivity and fairness since two former Collegian employees are running for president and vice president.

While we know that we could try to separate ourselves from their campaign, the fact remains that Allec Brust worked with some of us nearly every day for three years. Some of us mentored her and others were led by her.

If we did decide to endorse a candidate, we would not be able to endorse her due to a conflict of interest. The Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics, an industry standard, says to avoid conflicts of interest “real or perceived.” Even if we weighed all the candidates equally and objectively, and decided to endorse a different candidate, The Collegian’s editorial board still has a perceived conflict of interest.

Beyond that, it wouldn’t be helpful for readers. If we threw her campaign out of the running for an endorsement, then we would be unable to equally weigh all choices that the students have before them.

Ultimately, a newspaper’s endorsement should be a tool for voters, and that tool would not be useful if we are unable to offer an opinion on one of the campaigns.

But, we will offer you this: Vote. Please. Vote based on their qualifications, vote based on your gut, vote based on your friends or vote based on that one time that person smiled at you. Whatever your reason, voting in this student election is the most power you’re going to be afforded in the governance of this university this year.

If The Collegian is a training ground for journalists, if ASCSU is a training ground for public servants and politicians, then the voting process is a training ground for civic participation – and we are failing. On a campus of 33,413 students, only a little more than 5,000 voted last year, and that was the highest voter turnout in years. The year prior, only 3,500 voted, barely meeting the 10 percent turnout minimum for the vote to be valid.

If you don’t vote, then

organized campus groups will decide who runs our student government next year. Similarly, if you don’t vote for mayor, for congress or for president, organized PACs (political action committees) will decide who runs our country. Groups on this campus want this position to be filled by one of their own. Greek Life, The Conservative Interest Group, Turning Point USA, Students Against White Supremacy, the CSU Intersectional Activism Network, and others are paying attention to this election. And if you don’t, then whoever wins will simply be a reflection of which one of those groups had the most members and whipped up enough votes.

So, this election season, we’re endorsing you. We trust you. Because if you don’t use your voice in your university/ city/county/state/country… someone else will take it from you.

Recognize the work of public health this week Michelle Fredrickson @mfredrickson42

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 National Public Health Week, and CSU’s master of public health students have created events all week to celebrate. This week, students should take the opportunity to recognize what public health is, why it matters and get engaged with the community.

As a public health master’s student myself, I see public health everywhere.

And yet, before enrolling in this program, I had very little idea of just how much public health was influencing the world around me. It’s something that everyone should be aware of and everyone should be engaged in.

Part of National Public Health Week is placing stickers reading “This is Public Health” on things that represent the field. You might see these stickers pop up around campus

this week on bike racks, bus stops, study desks, gym lockers, desks, etc. In that way NPHW tries to promote the idea that everything contributing to the greater societal health is part of our charter.

Public health is looking at the overall health of the community on a societal level, and the factors in the community that are influencing that health. We want to stop disease and malaise before they happen, and address the things in the community allowing things harmful to the community’s health to occur.

While public health officials play huge roles in responding to things like cholera and the Ebola epidemic, the majority of what public health is can be seen in a much more day-today way.

Around Fort Collins, I see public health in the bike racks on campus and the bike lanes in the city. The number of people who bike around here is a public health victory, because increased movement and decreased use of cars leads to better health and happiness for the population as a whole.

Smoke-free zones on campus and in town are an example of public health, because it prevents exposure

to second-hand smoke and discourages cigarette smoking, which is a major health hazard.

I see it in the Get Yourself Tested campaign the CSU Health Network is currently putting on, trying to stop STIs before they spread and encourage treatment and awareness. I see it in the huge number of flu shots the Network gave out this year.

Public health is the homeless shelters and activities aimed at reducing homelessness. Many disease outbreaks happen in this population, because they are vulnerable, exposed to many hazards, and usually unable to access healthcare. Public health is concerned with addressing every single one of these issues.

Health is a multi-faceted issue, and public health deals with all of it. Not just the pathogen causing a disease, but the underlying social condition that creates an environment where unhealthiness can thrive.

It’s a much broader look at health than a medical perspective, because public health takes into account the social factors that are contributing to negative health effects. Racism, poverty, and access to healthy foods

and healthcare are all public health issues.

Public health is why there’s clean tap water to drink. It’s why you can trust the food you get at the grocery store.

It’s why we have emergency preparedness drills and why we have emergency management teams in place. It’s why rabies in the human population has been virtually eliminated in the United States.

If you want to get more involved in public health, join us tomorrow for group fitness on the Oval at 12:30 p.m., or stop by the Colorado School of Public Health table in the LSC on Thursday, or come to our school’s tenth birthday party on Friday.

There’s a lot that goes into keeping a population healthy, and most of it goes on behind the scenes. Public health workers and officials do what they do with no expectation for recognition. But this week, National Public Health Week, take a moment to acknowledge where you see public health in your life, and appreciate the people who work on behalf of the health of the civilization.

Rams enjoy walk-off weekend in sweep over Colorado Mesa

By Christian Hedrick @ChristianHCSU

Colorado State club baseball outfielder Brandon DeLay capped a three-game sweep of Colorado Mesa University with a pair of walk-off at bats in front of the home fans at City Park Field last weekend.

Although the Rams won all three games over the weekend, the defending conference champions had to rally back twice in order to secure a sweep and remain atop the Mid-America West conference.

“It was a hard-fought weekend, a lot of close games,” CSU catcher Jake Walker said.

“We’ve been preaching the word ‘fortitude’ all year and battling through adversity and always sticking with each other. In the first and third games, we got down early, but we just stuck with it and believed the whole time.”

In the series opener on Friday night, the Rams fell behind early, but used timely hitting and aggressive base running to level the game at nine after nine innings. In the bottom of the 10th with a runner on second base, DeLay approached the plate with a mission.

“I was just trying to put something in play and find a gap because Jake (Walker) was on second and I knew a single would score him,” DeLay said.

Instead of a single, though, DeLay left nothing to chance and

blasted a game-winning line-drive home run over the left field fence, his first ever walk-off shot.

“I was just trying to hit the ball hard somewhere and it ended up going out,” DeLay said.

In the first rematch on Saturday afternoon, the Rams’ offense took a backseat to a stellar outing from starting pitcher Phelan Castellano. The lefthander’s clinical performance kept the Mavericks from crossing the plate, while the Rams pushed across three for the shutout victory.

“In the second game, Phelan just pitched a gem,” Walker said.

“It’s awesome being back there (catching) when a pitcher is like that. It’s just like having a video game controller in your hand.”

In the series finale, the CMU bats broke their scoreless drought on a go-ahead home run in the second inning. While the Mavericks tacked on three runs in four innings, the Rams were still looking for their first hit of the game. CMU starting pitcher Matthew Smith looked dominate early and the Rams admit they were not putting together quality at bats.

“I think the pitcher threw well, but I also think that we just didn’t really have a great approach to the first four innings,” CSU head coach Troy Tolar said. “We were kind of giving at-bats away and we need to work on fighting a little more at the plate to put some pressure on them.”

After pitcher Luke Demolli shut down the Mavericks in the top of the fifth, the Rams gathered for a meeting in front of their dugout on the third baseline and adjusted their approach.

“Right after that fifth inning— after we realized we weren’t getting any hits—we were talking about going up there and swinging at those first-pitch strikes and seeing what happens and it worked out for us,” Walker said.

With a more aggressive approach in the bottom of the fifth, Mark Singleton shot a double into the gap for the Rams’ first hit.

The Rams added two runs in the

fifth and two more in the bottom of the sixth, but the Mavericks did not go down without a fight. Down to their last out in the top of the seventh, CMU strung together a series of hits and tied the game at four.

Walker led off the bottom of the seventh with a walk, setting the table for another walk-off shot from DeLay. With a runner on first, though, DeLay was asked to put his hot stick away and lay down a sacrifice bunt to advance Walker into scoring position.

DeLay laid down a bunt between the mound and third base, forcing the pitcher to make

a diving stop and throw from his back. The ill-advised throw sailed over the first baseman’s head and towards the bullpen. From first base, Walker did not stop running and easily crossed home for the wining run and back-to-back walk-off wins.

“That just goes to show what can happen when you put the ball in play and let the baseball gods kind of decide it,” Walker said.

The Rams are back in action next weekend with four games against Colorado School of Mines at a location yet to be determined.

FOOTBALL

Young tight ends embracing challenges of position

By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_

Learning curves accompany any player making the transition from high school to college football. Speed, physicality and scheme make the two games distinct from one another.

For many college tight ends, the learning curve is amplified. Transitioning from big, athletic wide receivers in high school to multi-faceted tight ends in college is no easy task. At Colorado State, the continued development of a crop of young tight ends is proving crucial through the opening weeks of spring football.

Entering his true sophomore season, Cameron Butler is the only tight end on the roster with in-game experience at the position for CSU. Redshirt sophomore Isaiah Pannunzio and redshirt

freshman Griffin Hammer are the two other tight ends in spring camp, making the position group one of the youngest on the team.

“That’s the biggest challenge is knowing that your oldest guy in the room is gonna be a redshirt sophomore,” said Joe Cox, entering his third season as CSU’s tight ends coach. “The biggest challenge is knowing that there’s only one guy who really knows what it feels like to be on the field and be in the heat of the battle.”

Butler showed flashes of potential during his freshman season in 2017. Serving as the second tight end behind Dalton Fackrell, he hauled in 12 receptions for 171 yards and three touchdowns during his freshman campaign, including a 50-yard score against San Jose State.

That said, Cox and head coach Mike Bobo know that

the next step for all three tight ends, and the two true freshmen joining the program in the fall, is blocking. As the lead man in the position group as just a true sophomore, Butler faces the same hurdle as the others.

TIGHT END BREAKDOWN ■ Sophomore Cameron Butler ■ Redshirt freshman Griffin

Hammer ■ Redshirt sophomore Isaiah Pannunzio ■ Redshirt sophomore Isaiah Pannunzio Freshman Trey McBride* Freshman Gary Williams*

Joining program in fall In high school, Butler and Hammer exclusively played

wide receiver. Pannunzio is the lone tight end this spring who entered college with tight end experience.

“They’ve got to face the issue,” Bobo said. “We’re not gonna spread them out and take the easy way out. We’re gonna be physical and have to run the ball, and to do that, you’ve got to be able to have tight ends.”

Though the thin number of tight ends would certainly be an issue in the regular season, it’s proven to be an advantage thus far as the players gain that much more personal experience. Cox can focus exclusively on his three guys rather than be forced to monitor a position group with far more members.

“You can tell that they’re getting gassed, which is good for them right now,” Cox said.

“But every period, I’m able to sit down and go through stuff on the side with guys and I’m

able to get a lot more one-onone coaching, which is huge …

Those three guys are getting quality reps, they’re getting a lot of reps.”

With the added reps, Cox’s focus lies in conquering the transition from receiver to tight end. Though it’s far from complete, the evolution is taking shape through two weeks of practice.

“They’ve all bought in to what we’re doing, what we’re teaching and they want to be those guys that can put their hand on the ground and be physical,” Cox said.

“Sometimes in spring, you like seeing when they get their butt whipped a little bit up front on the line because it puts into perspective how physical that position is when you’re an attached tight end.”

PROFILES

A day in the life of Cam the Ram and his handlers

By Nate Day @NateMDay

Colorado State University is full of local celebrities. Everyone knows Tony Frank and his legendary beard, and students love professors like Denise Apodaca and coaches like Mike Bobo, but they all pale in comparison to one individual: Cam the Ram. While students are constantly excited to see Cam visiting campus, they rarely are allowed a glimpse into the care that goes into maintaining Cam and prepping him for events.

Cam, who is owned by the Alumni Association, is kept at a ranch belonging to a retired animal sciences professor. His specific location is kept a secret to avoid incidents from rival schools.

One Cam was allegedly spray painted blue by students at the Air Force Academy, and another was stolen by a CU fraternity before causing thousands of dollars worth of damage in the garage that they kept him in, according to his handlers.

Cam isn’t alone, however. At the farm, there is another male ram—called Mac by the handlers— who is used as a backup if Cam is ever too ill to make an appearance, a special lady-friend known as Camera and a young sheep named Macy all keep him company.

According to Ram Handler Justin Gorman, a junior studying

agricultural business, Cam resides in the “Taj Mahal” of barns after the previous one burned down.

Most days, Cam spends time training with his handlers.

“We’ll put the halter on him and socialize him,” Gorman said.

“We’ll simulate situations like a kid running up to him or a towel flapping around.”

The training is designed to prepare Cam for the assortment of unusual happenings that could take place at any moment.

On event days, Cam undergoes pampering as a form of preparation.

CAM HANDLERS ■ The Alumni Association is

currently accepting applications for Ram Handlers, with no restrictions on field of study.

Applications can be found at alumni.colostate.edu, and are due by April 20.

“We’ll wash him with soap and water,” said Aly Ridings, a senior studying biology. “And then we shave him before we leave.”

Cam’s wool is shaved off of most of his body, leaving some on his back for a blanket to rest on.

“We sheer him pretty often in the summer so he can stay cool,” said Clarissa Carver, a senior animal sciences student. “In the

winter, we’ll shave him every few months to keep him warmer.”

While he’s being shaved by a handful of handlers, Cam’s trailer is prepped with food and water to make his ride comfortable, and other handlers spend time cleaning up bits of Cam’s wool, as well as other things Cam leaves behind.

“Why you gotta poop so much?” Brodan Baker, a sophomore in the construction management department asked Cam as he raked up small pellets during the event preparation.

Cam’s greatest quality is his ability to promote school spirit.

Bella Peña, a prospective student that met Cam at Choose CSU, said that Cam influenced her decision to attend.

“No other school I’ve visited has (brought out their mascot),” Peña said.

When students meet Cam, some seemed a bit confused.

According to his handlers, one student thought Cam was a dog.

But others squeal with delight at the opportunity to give a sheep as sweet as Cam plenty of attention.

Both Gorman and Ridings cited making fans happy as the best part of their job as Ram Handlers.

“I was a lost freshman when I applied,” Gorman said. “I didn’t really have anyone on campus.”

Gorman, who has worked as a handler for two years now, is an integral part of the team as the

CSU mascot Cam the Ram poses for pictures with prospective students and fans. There are around 17 students who work to take care of Cam, cleaning, shearing, feeding him and taking him to events around Fort Collins. PHOTO BY BROOKE BUCHAN COLLEGIAN

only driver, meaning he hauls a massive trailer all around town and even to Denver for a handful of events each year.

Cam loves his job, according to Gorman.

“He gets really excited to run during football games,” Gorman said.

Gorman noted that sheep have different hearing frequencies than humans, so canon booms and screaming attendees don’t bother him much.

According to Gorman, he’ll even fall asleep during some of the night games.

As for why they use a domestic sheep rather than a bighorn sheep, rumor has it that an owner of several bighorn sheep in Rocky

Mountain National Park once was rammed by one of her pets from a foot away and it resulted in a full knee replacement, according to Ridings. “(The retired professor) told me that, and he admits to sometimes making up stories,” Ridings said. “But we want to be able to bring him out to meet people, so we stick with the sheep.”

by April 20.

Exhibit to show stories of ‘Geek v. Glam,’ to occur Sunday, feature guest performer Raja Gemini interpersonal abuse survivors

By Claire Oliver

By Sarah Ehrlich

Get ready to werk.

The Annual Colorado State University Drag Show will occur this weekend with a guest performance by Raja Gemini, the season three winner of “Ru Paul’s Drag Race.” The show is called “Geek vs. Glam” and will showcase performances by CSU students.

Stephen Tafoya, a junior graphic design major, will be performing in the show as yungraccoon.

A photo can tell a powerful story, and in this case, it is a story of survival.

During Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Colorado State University junior social work major Kimberley Breslin and the Women and Gender Advocacy Center will be showcasing the “Survivor Photovoice Project,” a collection of photos telling the story of interpersonal abuse survivors.

couture designs with a unique spin.

“I feel like drag race is something that is super main stream right now, which is great because it’s getting our message out there,” Tafoya said. “It’s going to be awesome to see her.”

Drag is a form of expression as well as a performance. Tafoya started performing as a way to deal with social anxiety, and performing as yungraccoon has really helped him to come out of his shell, he said. Tafoya started performing out in California three years ago.

“It is more of an outlet to express things that I usually don’t,” Tafoya said. “I consider myself an introvert, and I have

social interaction issues, so this is kind of my experiment to put on a different persona and kind of be as crazy as I want to.”

Luckily, CSU offers an inclusive environment for performers like Tafoya. The fact that there is a show is a testament to the inclusion on campus.

“Show up earlier for the show definitely, and keep your mind open and expect everything and anything to happen,” Tafoya said.

The “Geek v. Glam” drag show will be held on April 8 in the LSC Grand Ballroom. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the show will begin at 6 p.m.

GALLERY OPENING ■ When

April 4 at 5 p.m.

■ Where LSC Auxillary Gallery The project aims to create a space for the survivors to tell their story in a way that they choose. Viewers of the gallery will see photographs and written pieces by the survivors, a way

to promote healing through art and storytelling while reducing stigmas about this type of abuse.

This gallery will portray resiliency and healing as well as being a type of representation to survivors who have not told their story, or have and were not believed, Breslin said.

Breslin says self-care was important during the project, as she wanted to come from a place of love and support for the survivors she was working with.

“I think the survivors had to work on their own self-care because telling and reliving their story is not easy,” Breslin said. “I really hope that people will learn to believe survivors and that there is no shame in being a survivor of interpersonal violence. These survivors have gone through a lot, and I hope the CSU community understands that these stories are a gift.”
