New Pride Center director paves way for Latinx, queer students

By Maddie Wright @maddierwright

With the goal of representation and intersectionality, Dora Frias is taking over as the new director of Colorado State University’s Pride Resource Center.

Frias started the position in October. Because of this, she is working on getting

her feet planted at CSU and understanding the needs of LGBT students at the University.

“I’m also still figuring out what we’re doing, how we’re doing it and then what direction then we’ll take,” Frias said. “So it’ll take me a minute to figure all those things out, but I want to spend some time getting to know the students first.”

Frias has a background in student affairs and received her

Master’s degree in student affairs and higher education from CSU. Since then, she has worked at other universities, including the University of Northern Colorado and the University of Colorado - Denver, with an emphasis on advocacy and equality.

“I appreciate Dora’s background of experiences,” Kathy Sisneros, assistant vice principal of Student Affairs, said in an email. “She serves as

a leader on a state, regional and national level for our Latinx and queer students, and I believe that her commitment to advocating for students from a social justice lens is very much a strength.”

Emily Ambrose, the assistant director of the Pride Resource Center, describes Frias as “collaborative” and “driven,” and attended graduate school with Frias at CSU. “Being friends before and

transitioning to colleagues we both come with an awareness of our roles and approach (working together) from a team context,” Ambrose said.

Frias identifies as both a member of the LGBT community and as a Latina.

“Both of these identities for me are equally important,” Frias said. see Pride on page 11 >>

Scene Magazine owner accused of sexual harassment

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

After accusations of sexual harassment and assault emerged about various celebrities and politicians, the music community in Fort Collins brought forward allegations of sexual harassment by Michael Mockler, the owner of Scene Magazine.

Local musician Magic Cyclops wrote in a Facebook post about witnessing Mockler sexually harassing women, and more men and women have shared their stories of witnessing or being the victim of sexual harassment from Mockler.

Based on the attention the accusations have received, the future of Scene Magazine remains unclear, but a December issue is planned for publishing.

“We should be asking ourselves why it took so long for anyone to speak publicly about Mike’s behavior,” said Ben Prytherch, a local musician for Mama Lenny and the Remedy in Fort Collins. “(Mockler’s) had a reputation for being a guy to stay away from for a long time.”

Magic Cyclops, who asked that his real name not be published, posted the accusation of Mockler’s general behavior on Facebook because he wanted to see change. According to a couple of people who have been in the music community in Fort Collins, who preferred not to be named, Mockler’s been involved in the music scene and acting inappropriately for around 20 years. “(I spoke out) because I got sick after decades of his behavior of not saying anything,” Magic Cyclops wrote in an email to the Collegian. “By not saying anything, it’s like giving him a pass to say it. It’s also just as important for men to hold men accountable for their actions because it affects us as well.”

Mockler, who is assumed to be around 55-65 years old, has been known to take interest in young women and has been accused of using his magazine to make the women he employed uncomfortable through inappropriate comments. Although the voiced accusations of sexual harassment come from previous employees, most stories of Mockler’s sexual harassment include catcalling and slapping women’s behinds.

“His behavior will never change,” said Eric, a local musician who has interacted with Mockler for since 2004 and asked that his last name not be published. “I’ve seen wom-

en slap his hand away and men yell at him in bars, pulling their girlfriends away. I’m glad this finally came to light.”

Lisa Thornton, a former freelance journalist at Scene Magazine, said the main issue she had was when Mockler insisted her boyfriend could not join them when he asked her out for a drink. Thornton said the incident and Mockler’s reputation made her feel uncomfortable enough that she never wanted to see him in person and her only form of contact ended up being through email.

“What makes this different is that he’s in a position of power in the town,” Thornton said. “I shudder to think of how many people were turned off from writing because of this man. That part makes me angry.”

Mary Willson, a former social media editor and assignment editor for Scene Magazine, was hired by Scene Magazine when she was 19-years-old.

Willson wrote in an article published online in 2015 that Mockler acted unprofessionally in the office — he would smoke and drink, made fun of her for staying sober, and praised her attractiveness.

“The reason I wrote the

article initially was because, like a lot of young people, I had rose-colored glasses on at the beginning of the year,” Willson said. “I had heard things about Mockler, but I took the job to further my career.”

Another woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said Mockler took photos of her while she was in the bathroom at a party Mockler attended.

The woman said that when she went to use the restroom, Mockler followed her, but she did not notice him until she saw him looking over the stall door taking pictures of her with his cell phone.

The woman said Mockler laughed and ran away when he realized she saw him, but she was able to grab his phone and delete the photos before leaving.

“It was a horrible violation,” she said. “And, you feel powerless. What was I supposed to do? I’m literally sitting on the toilet. It happened so fast, and I couldn’t get up and get out in that moment.”

Mockler could not be reached for a comment, despite various attempts to reach him, including email, phone call, visiting his office and messaging him through Facebook.

Although Mockler could

not be reached for comment, he was active in the Facebook thread started by Magic Cyclops. His initial responses consisted of reasonings for his actions.

“The thing about we humans is that we like to (f*ck),” Mockler wrote in a Facebook comment. “... This is who we are as a sexual society.”

Mockler later issued an apology.

“I can readily admit that on some occasions I may have not been politically correct or as sensitive to circumstance as I should have been,” Mockler wrote. “My bad! I also can say that my intention has never been to subjugate, harass or with malice and forethought demean anyone in anyway, shape or form. Everything is open to individual interpretation, conjecture and personal perception those are the realities.”

Mockler later wrote that women were discomforted and intimidated by his large stature and addressed other commenters in the thread.

Mockler wrote that Willson was entitled, “I recently reached out to her father to try to control the symptoms of her illness, with no avail.”

According to Jake Johnson, who handles distribution

at Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation, RMSMC does not distribute Scene Magazine, but it shares rack space with other student RMSMC publications like the Collegian.

President CEO of RMSMC Peter Waack said he is not going to discontinue allowing the magazine to share rack space, but he would if students said they were uncomfortable with the distribution.

“Scene Magazine is bigger than Mockler,” Waack said.

“The entity and outlet is differnet than the publisher. I don’t see any reason to remove it.”

Mockler left for Mexico on the morning of Nov. 25 wrote Alma Blackburn on Magic Cyclops’ Facebook thread. Blackburn, who manages the distribution and circulation of the magazine, wrote that she is unsure when Mockler will return.

“I hope he has to deal with the consequences of his actions,” Eric said. “I personally would love to see the magazine ran by the people actually running it. The initial idea of the magazine was to promote music and arts in Northern Colorado, and it could really be done well if run by a different person.”

CSU group researches gene-editing mechanism

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

With Colorado State University being a top research university, it is no surprise a group has taken on investigating one of the hottest topics in the scientific community: the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) mechanism.

The CRISPR mechanism is a gene-editing mechanism with the ability to locate and cut specific parts of the genome and replace DNA sequences with other sequences.

The research began in a year ago when Christie Mayo, an assistant professor in the Microbiology, Immunology and Pathology department; Mark Stenglein, another assistant professor in the Microbiology, Immunology and Pathology department;

and Justin Lee, a research scientist working with Next Generation DNA Sequencing (NGS) collaborated to use NGS for diagnostics.

Although the research is not ready for publication, researching the CRISPR mechanism with NGS has the potential to enhance veterinary diagnostics and animal health disease surveillance and monitoring to identify previously characterized and novel pathogens.

“We’re searching for a needle in a haystack by eliminating the hay to search for the needle,” Mayo said. “In diagnostics, it’s not just time and money, but actual life. If we spend too much time looking at the hay, we won’t see what’s causing the problem.”

The CRISPR mechanism, which contains a Cas protein, is part of the immune system of prokaryotic cells, where

One of the componenets of the CRIPSR mechanism is the Cas protein, with one of the Cas protein being researched being the Cas 9. Guided by a guide RNA, the Cas 9 protein can be used to target and cut a section of the DNA strand and replace DNA sequences with other DNA sequences to change the genome.

it functions by removing incoming viral or foreign DNA in a sequence specific manner.

The Cas protein has two main functions: DNA locating and cleaving, or cutting target DNA in natural and artificial CRISPR and Cas systems.

“This is a fundamental and groundbreaking discovery,” Lee said. “We only know a small amount of what (CRISPR and Cas systems) can actually do. It can be modified, transformed and adapted to a lot of different systems.”

The CRISPR mechanism was originally found in bacteria as a defense mechanism. Viruses would invade a bacteria cell, and the Cas protein would take parts of the virus DNA and insert it into the bacteria’s genome to

store a portion of the virus DNA. Then, if the virus ever attacked the bacteria again, the bacteria would recognize the virus and stop the virus from attacking.

“What’s cool about the CRISPR mechanism is that it started out as an obscure bacteria defense mechanism, and within the past five to ten years, it’s become really useful in the lab,” Stenglein said. “In the past five to ten years, it’s been spreading to every area in medicine. The goal is to facilitate this technology into areas not being used, make it better and combine this technology in a way it hasn’t been combined before.”

The CRISPR mechanism is a hot topic in the scientific community today. Due to the CAS 9 protein’s ability to

locate and eliminate parts of a DNA sequence, scientists have discovered the possibility of gene editing, or replacing DNA sequences with other DNA sequences to change the genome.

Although not in practice yet, the possibility of being able to create a “designer baby” has emerged, causing an ethical debate. “(The CRIPSR mechanisms’ gene editing capabilities is) a very gray area,” Lee said. “I think it’s still a ways off, but now is the time to be having these discussions. It’s good for the public and people who deal with ethics to deal with this, and scientists should be a part of the conversation.”

Giving Tuesday at Colorado State raises over $50,000

By Ty Betts @TyBetts9

Banking on people still having money after Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday, the Office of Annual Giving at Colorado State University raised over $54,000 as of 5 p.m.

Tuesday for students facing food insecurity during this year’s Giving Tuesday.

The goal of Giving Tuesday this year was to raise $50,000 to support Rams Against Hunger, an organization that provides access to dining hall meals for students facing food insecurity.

Money raised as part of Tuesday’s fundraiser will be given to Rams Against Hunger to purchase meals from Housing and Dining Services. There are currently over 200 students who are waitlisted for the program, according to Thea Rounsaville the Assistant Director of

Annual Giving at CSU. If accepted into the program, students receive a meal plan of 75 meals for a semester that they can use at any of the on-campus dining halls. Rounsaville said Housing and Dining Services has been very supportive of Rams Against Hunger.

“They give us the absolute lowest cost meal that they can,” Rounsaville said. “They did a great program for students that lived in the residence halls where they were able donate two of their guest swipes on World Hunger Day.” Donations amounting to $50,000 will allow Rams Against Hunger to purchase 7,142 meals, an amount that more than doubles last year’s goal of 3,000 meals, according to Rounsaville. It is unlikely, however, that this will be enough to cover every student looking to get into the program.

“I don’t think we’ll be able to

support every single student that’s on the waitlist,” Rounsaville said.

“We’re going to try to reduce that number the best that we can, but, unfortunately, I don’t think it’s enough to support every student that applies.”

Rams Against Hunger was created in response to a survey that showed 10 percent of the student body was suffering from food insecurity, according to Assistant Director for SLICE, Jen Johnson.

Johnson said the program is conscious of affirming people’s dignity while helping with them fight food insecurity.

“When you’re swiping in, nobody knows how those swipes are paid for, whether it is a Rams Against Hunger swipe or any other kind of swipe,” Johnson said. “It’s really nice in that respect.”

Although CSU is taking part, Giving Tuesday - or, #GivingTuesday - is also recognized globally

as a day to practice generosity.

In 2015, 98 countries amounted donations totaling $177 million dollars, according to the website for Giving Tuesday. The organization’s website encourages helping out via time, donations, goods, or voice.

For Giving Tuesday at CSU, Rounsaville said the majority of donations come from alumni, followed by faculty and staff.

“It’s a lot of people that work here that are out-of-pocket trying to do what they can to feed the students that they personally interact with on a daily basis,” Rounsaville said.

While not there yet, Johnson said the University is getting closer to offering enough programs to support those who struggle to pay for food.

“Right now we have the meal swipe program, we have a mobile food pantry that comes once a

month to campus, and the student government has little pocket pantries at various offices across campus,” Johnson said.

Johnson also mentioned work that Aggie Village does to offer fresh produce from local farmers, as well as a collaboration with Larimer County to offer on campus access to federal benefit programs like food stamps.

Rounsaville also said help is coming from fellow students.

“We actually have a lot of students that donate to Rams Against Hunger as well,” Rounsaville said.

“It’s a great way for student to give back, even if it’s just $10, to help one of their fellow Rams in need.”

Those who are struggling with food insecurity can visit the website for Rams Against Hunger for more information and other ways to find assistance.

Alumnus’ clothing line advocates for social justice

NPR chief news editor ousted after sexual harassment allegations

By Audrey Weiss @Audkwerd

Colorado State University alumnus William Bell dreamt of establishing his own company—one that iterated his passion for social justice.

For five years now, he has done just that with sic970.

Sic970 is a casual wear line established in Fort Collins in 2012 by Bell, who will be selling his products Nov. 30 at the Lory Student Center Marketplace. Everything is pressed and embroidered locally, according to Bell.

The line includes snapbacks, “dome warmers” or beanies, T-shirts and more depicting what Bell considers important messages for the community.

“My message is not controversial to me,” Bell said.

“It’s the message that I want to get out there to everybody. To me, it’s all about awareness.”

Bell’s interest in social justice began from his experiences growing up but were clarified during his time at CSU. A liberal arts major with a concentration in social sciences, Bell knew he wanted to start a business based on his experiences but wasn’t sure how to do so.

“I just kind of looked back at my past and all the things that I experienced—the empowerment, women, anti-

racism, equality, environment, world peace—and all that inspired me,” Bell said. “The company is my vision of those social issues.”

While attending CSU, Bell remembers being one of few minorities on campus and in his classes, saying he recalled being the only person of color in a room of 300 other students.

With that being said, however, Bell said he remembers his time as one of great understanding and acceptance.

“I just felt CSU opened their arms regardless of race,” Bell said.

Bell’s solution for the issues in the world all comes down to the importance of education, and he feels indebted to CSU. “In my department (at CSU) I would meet instructors and coaches, and they would give me advice and guide me,” Bell said. “And, through this company I feel like I can give something back to this community that’s been really kind to me.”

With the recent acts of hate taking place on campus, Bell wished only the best for the community and sees only good to come of such acts. He strongly believed in the power of education and confrontation and saw CSU as an incredibly diverse global community.

As far as his designs, Bell

said they just come to him, though he does find inspiration in the history of social causes.

Bell pulls inspiration from a number of historical movements, including the civil rights movement, and the women’s suffrage movement.

Women’s empowerment is very important to Bell, as he was raised by a strong mother along with two sisters. He releases a design every spring,reflective of the empowerment of women.

A few years prior, Bell created the One Mic series.

Many of his designs included the same emblem: a single fist.

Bell sees the fist as a metaphor for the single mic.

He believes we all have an equal voice and that all people need is one mic because no voice is more powerful than another.

“Regardless of color, we all have the same wants and needs,” Bell said.

Bell hopes to continue growing his brand worldwide and to continue evolving along with the company. Bell only hopes to get the messages depicted by Sic970 out.

“This is my love right here,” Bell said. “This is my passion.

I’m really excited about this.

My views and my ideas and my concepts keep evolving.”

@Los Angeles Times

Less than a month after its top news executive, Mike Oreskes, resigned following allegations of sexual misconduct, National Public Radio has lost another senior editor after female journalists accused him of sexual harassment.

David Sweeney has stepped down from his role as NPR’s chief news editor following accusations by at least three current and former NPR journalists, the organization reported Tuesday.

His departure came after NPR conducted a formal internal review into his conduct.

NPR didn’t respond to a request for comment. The Washington, D.C.-based news agency reported that the complaints against Sweeney were filed after Oreskes, NPR’s senior vice president of news and editorial director, was forced to resign Nov. 1 over sexual misconduct allegations.

The accusations against Sweeney include an unwanted kiss and an attempted kiss, as well as unwanted attention and unsolicited gifts to a subordinate, according to the NPR report.

“This is a difficult time for our newasroom and I’m

committed to supporting all of you as we move forward,” Chris Turpin, acting senior vice president of news, said in an email to staff, according to the NPR report.

Sweeney is the latest prominent news figure to be toppled on accusations of sexual misconduct. Last week, CBS fired veteran journalist Charlie Rose from “CBS This Morning” after The Washington Post reported on allegations that he had sexually harassed several women who were working on his long-running PBS show.

PBS subsequently canceled “Charlie Rose,” saying it “expects all the producers we work with to provide a workplace where people feel safe and are treated with dignity and respect.”

Glenn Thrush, a White House correspondent for The New York Times, was suspended last week after Vox reported allegations from four female journalists who claimed Thrush engaged in inappropriate behavior toward them when he worked at Politico.

Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly was fired in April after sexual harassment claims lodged against him.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Silva: ASCSU failed the Colorado State student body, again ByJosh Silva Guest Author

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.

I am humbled and grateful for the outpouring of support from community members following my impeachment as president of the Associated Students of Colorado State University. I also know that the events that transpired during the last ASCSU senate session should leave anyone on campus horrified.

ASCSU is a black mark on the credibility of your student government and a slap in the face to you, the students. After an election that gave CSU the highest turnout in four years, 1,440 students elected me as your student body president.

On Nov. 15, 22 senators, many of them unelected, decided to take away that electoral choice, for reasons that they, campus partners, and even the student media can’t explain. They did not inform their constituents, or consult with their colleges, or present their offices with truthful information.

A director and three senators quit in disgust that night.

Being in the Senate chambers that night, there were times I feared for my and several others’ safety, and for weeks, I didn’t speak about this publicly for fear of my words being used against me and retaliation from the proponents of the petition, as were a lot of other people in ASCSU. For too long we have had a culture that rewards driving out people who you don’t like under false and made up pretenses, and this impeachment is the poster child. We have a serious problem with this, and if you don’t believe me, just ask the last two ASCSU presidents.

Campus tensions are at a breaking point with biasrelated incidents occurring across campus, but tragically your student government is paralyzed and unable to meaningfully act on your behalf because of the internal drama and toxic environment that has consumed it. The senate parliamentarian himself said the night of my impeachment that removing me wouldn’t solve anything- it would only silence a dissenting point of view.

presidency, the last person to be impeached, and current and former senators speaking on my behalf (as well as the students of Colorado Mesa University) could not change the minds of these senators, it is evident that most of them made up their minds and presumed my guilt before even seeing any evidence.

It’s heartbreaking to me that several individuals who supposedly represent you, the students, waste their time with internal documents and spend twelve weeks (four weeks longer than the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton) defaming my character to get their fifteen minutes of fame.

I want to be clear that I am not writing this to deflect attention from the accusations against me, as the Wall Street Journal allegations are, and have been from the first day, deeply misleading at best and outright false at worst and no one really believes them.

No funds were given and no contract was signed. I didn’t need the senate’s permission to spend the money the contract would have been funded with, since it came from funds allocated under my account and the executive branch and no money needed to be moved.

What I needed to do was present the contract and its details to the senate before

signing it, but unfortunately the impeachment petition was first brought up that night. I never got a chance to properly present it, let alone sign it. This is a deal that would have come to you, the students, for free, and it was undermined for reasons the impeachment proponents themselves admitted to several individuals, including me, were political in nature.

The Wall Street Journal didn’t matter, though. It never mattered. It was just a pretense to dig up any dirt they could find on me for the purpose of impeachment. That is why there was never any attempt by the petitioner or most signers to have a conversation with me and learn the facts behind the accusations. Any attempt by me or others to do so or to communicate genuine feelings or concerns was labeled as harassment, intimidation, retaliation, discrimination, you name it. All for the sake of political persuasion.

That brings me to the other accusations: the character attacks. To say that I was impeached because of my unprofessionalism and failed leadership is to negate and deny the opinion of the supermajority in my cabinet, who stayed until 12:30 a.m. supporting me as a small group of ideological senators

engaged in unprecedented character assassination against me. No one outside the four walls of ASCSU that night believed that a word of those accusations, even accusations that violated confidentiality of the university’s ongoing Office of Equal Opportunity investigation.

The worst accusation that sticks out in my mind is when a certain senator accused me of driving people to self-harm or suicide because of my toxic presence and attitude. Beyond all the violations concerning mandatory reporting, that accusation, lobbed to score political points, is absolutely disgusting, and that individual should be ashamed of themselves. The same people in ASCSU who pushed for my removal will try to sweep what happened under the rug.

They will try to pretend that everyone has or needs to move on, or say that productivity has never been higher. When the senate meets later today, there will be seven bills and resolutions brought to the floor in the name of productivity, but what your representatives don’t tell you is that six out of those seven deal only with internal ASCSU stuff. Don’t take this slap on the face from the people who are supposed to be your representatives.

If I was guilty of the things

I was accused of, I would have resigned because I have too much respect for the students who pay us to do our jobs. If I really had harassed someone, I shouldn’t have been impeached: I should have been removed by the university.

People who are guilty of the things I was accused of don’t sit through twelve weeks of their name being dragged through the mud and the personal, social, and academic toll of being repeatedly defamed, demeaned, and denigrated. I just hope that what happened to me and the behaviors that occur in ASCSU (that have now been demonstrated both in print and on camera) are enough to spark the genuine change we all want and desperately need. You have the right to demand better of your student government than what you have been getting.

The senator who initiated the impeachment proceedings against me said that this whole debacle was about being accountable and being able to be transparent. It’s time for the student body to hold everyone in ASCSU to that same standard.

Democrats will run into issues with age in 2020

By Ryan Tougaw @rjtougaw

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.

In the age of social media and universal access to information, image has become a huge issue when presenting political candidates to the American public. The democrats will deal with this issue in 2020, as most of the candidates are getting pretty old.

The reason that this is so critical in 2020 is because a candidates image has become significantly more persuasive then their particular views on policy. The 2016 campaign political advertisements were very policy-light. Instead, there’s a catchy slogan or tagline and the candidate in an inspiring pose to convey a message of power aimed to motivate American voters in a way that policy ideas just don’t anymore. It’s been a while since I have seen a billboard or online ad said anything about the economy or foreign policy, for example.

This shift has gradually taken hold since television became a facet in the American household. The importance of being able to see the candidates directly via television still has had a profound impact

on public opinion since the 1960 election and continues to make a difference today.

This transition in ideals is massive in that it completely changes the way that candidates conduct their campaigns.

Say what you will about Donald Trump’s rhetoric, but his use of phrases like “crooked Hillary” were incredibly effective in portraying Hillary in a negative light. His constant name-calling and character attacks made her look awful in the public eye.

By contrast, when did Donald Trump ever propose any kind of genuine foreign or economic policy outside of tax cuts and the border wall?

Rarely. He knew that this was all about character and appearance, and he dedicated the vast majority of his efforts to solidifying his image and destroying Clinton’s.

This all that means 2020 is quite a predicament for the Democrats, as their potential reservoir of candidates suffer from significant weaknesses in how they come across. First of all, they’re all old. In the case of Bernie Sanders specifically, he looks every bit of 76 and way, way more. This shortcoming is echoed among the Democratic leadership, and contributes very heavily to a bad appearance in the eyes of the American public.

The election of 1960 between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon serves as a great historical example of this notion because, for the first time, a presidential debate was broadcasted on television. Viewers could see what their candidates looked like, in addition to hearing their views on policy and implementation of new ideas for the first time in history.

The general consensus after this debate was that Nixon had won-- on radio. The television crowd believed Kennedy won.

This scenario repeated itself in the 2008 election between John McCain and Barack Obama. Nixon had issues with image regarding attractiveness, and in 2008, the same problem emerged with the issue of age.

When the time came to focus on just the two candidates after either party’s nomination process, it became very clear, very quickly that McCain came across as a 71-year-old man through the extent of the campaign process. The Democrats seized this opportunity and capitalized on this weakness by presenting Obama as a really young and charismatic guy with every chance that they got. A staggering 66% of voters under 30 sprung for Obama instead of McCain, marking the largest disparity of young voters compared to other age groups since exit polling began in 1972, according to the Pew Research Center, .

This tactic succeeded beyond the highest hopes of the Democrats in swaying cer-

tain groups of voters toward the Obama camp’s message of hope and change with a young and radiant leader at the helm.

If the Democrats produce a candidate that comes off as McCain did, and Nixon before him, they may find themselves struggling to identify with certain voting groups come 2020.

It’s easy to say that the obvious course of action for Democrats would be to just put up a young candidate.

Every candidate the Democrats could offer in 2020 will have to overcome the effect age has on their appeal or suffer the same fate McCain did in 2008. Age could be a major issue for the democrats come the next election.

Tony Frank impeaches entire student government

By Allec Brust @allecbrust

Editor’s note: This is a satire piece from the Collegians opinion section. Real names may be used in fictitious/semi-fictitious ways.

Those who do not like reading editors notes are subject to being offended.

FORT COLLINS – This week, the Colorado State University Board of Governors has decided to impeach the entire Associated Students of Colorado State University student body.

The decision came after academic and student affairs vice president, Kim Jordan, allegedly fainted while sitting in on the most recent board meeting due to being overwhelmed. The board was discussing the procedures

that will be taken for incumbent president, Michael Wells.

“ASCSU is just on their bullshit and I was way overwhelmed,” said Jordan.

CSU President, Dr. Tony Frank, advised the board to completely impeach the entire ASCSU body.

This has been an idea that Frank has been questioning ever since he had an epiphany last year.

The idea to get rid of ASCSU came to Frank after an angel appeared in a dream and told him it would be his, “legacy at CSU to bring order to the University by abolishing all student government.”

“Frankly, I am just tired,” said Frank. “I wish I had been impeached instead of Silva so I wouldn’t have to deal with this.

I am glad I had that epiphany-- I

can finally be the president these students need.”

The impeachment petition against ASCSU was brought up by Frank and will be read at the next ASCSU senate session. According to Frank, the petition entails that ASCSU, “was just too annoying to exist anymore, and it needed to be killed with fire so that people can focus on things that matter.”

Sophomore senate member, Alan Tuchfeld, is pretty upset about the decision to get rid of ASCSU. “They discontinued House of Cards on Netflix ... and now they have cancelled ASCSU as well,” Tuchfeld said. “Where am I supposed to get my daily dose of political drama?”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Rams fall to Missouri State despite late comeback

By Eddie Herz @Eddie_Herz

Colorado State’s late comeback attempt against Missouri State came up just short as the Rams ultimately fell to the Bears 77-67 in the Mountain West-Missouri Valley Challenge.

Missouri State built a 20-point lead with 7:53 remaining, and the game seemed all but over. However, largely in part to some crucial baskets by Che Bob and Deion James, CSU went on a 24-8 run to trim the deficit to only four points with 45 seconds remaining.

Unfortunately for the Rams, they didn’t have enough time to get over the hump.

CSU was able to shut down Missouri State’s leading scorer, Alize Johnson. Johnson was held scoreless on 0-of-7 shooting from the floor. The senior forward averaged 14.7 points through seven games this season before

playing the Rams. Johnson also only collected four rebounds, well below his average of 10.7 per game.

The Rams out-rebounded the Bears, who were the 12thbest rebounding team in the NCAA going into this game, 4136. Before tonight, Missouri State out-rebounded its opponents in every game this season.

While the Rams were able to shut down Johnson and hold a rebounding advantage, they were limited by offensive inefficiency. CSU shot 35.9 percent from the floor and missed 16 of its first 17 3-point attempts.

The Rams were essentially working from behind from the very start, as Missouri State opened the game on a 20-8 run over the first 10 minutes. CSU opened the second half on a 7-0 run to cut the Bears’ lead to 4233. But, the Rams once again went cold from there and Missouri State began to run away with the

game.

Though the Rams stormed back late, CSU’s offensive inconsistency that allowed Missouri State to build a large lead proved to be the difference.

Even though guard Prentiss Nixon had a forgettable night from beyond the arc, converting only 2-of-11 attempts, Nixon was effective otherwise. The guard finished with 20 points and six rebounds while shooting 7-of-19 from the floor.

Che Bob extended his doubledouble streak to four against Missouri State. Bob scored 13 points and collected 12 rebounds to tie the career-high he set in CSU’s last game. Deion James came up big late and tied his career-high in points with 14.

Missouri State junior guard Ryan Kreklow picked up the slack for his teammate Johnson.

Kreklow scored 20 points for the first time in his collegiate career and converted 6-of-11 shots from

FOOTBALL

Former defensive standouts making an impact in NFL

By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_

Through twelve weeks of the season, former Colorado State football players are making an impact in the National Football League.

Including players on practice squads and injured reserve, CSU has eight former players in the league. Here’s a look at some performances thus far.

Shaquil Barrett – Linebacker, Denver Broncos Barrett’s play for the Broncos in 2017 has been a bright spot in a down season. The former undrafted free agent filled in seamlessly for the Broncos after they lost starting linebacker Shane Ray for the first seven game of the season.

Barrett earned national recognition from Pro Football Focus after his stellar performance against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2, and he is coming off another noteworthy performance against the Oakland Raiders last weekend.

The linebacker recorded a strip sack and recovered the fumble in the first quarter.

His two forced fumbles lead the Broncos, and he ranks second on the team with four sacks despite not being a full-time starter.

Cory James – Linebacker, Oakland Raider Playing against Barrett last weekend, former teammate Cory James has become a

mainstay for the Raiders’ defense. After being selected in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, James earned a starting gig weeks into his rookie season. This year, he ranks fourth on the team in tackles and leads all Raider linebackers in the category.

Rashard Higgins – Wide receiver, Cleveland Browns Following a breakoutperformance in Week 2 in which he recorded seven catches for 95 yards, Higgins has been less involved in the Browns’ offense.

Despite seeing a significant drop in numbers, Higgins has recorded a catch in eight of the ten games he played in. On the season, Higgins has hauled in 20 of his 40 targets for 214 yards.

Ty Sambrailo – Offensive tackle, Atlanta Falcons After being traded from the Broncos prior to the beginning of 2017, Sambrailo signed with the Atlanta Falcons. Sambrailo earned a start at right tackle in Week 3 and has played in 10 games this season. Sambrailo is currently nursing a hamstring injury that kept him out last weekend against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Kapri Bibbs – Running back, Washington Redskins (practice squad) The former CSU and Broncos running back signed with the Washington Redskins’ practice squad last Saturday.

Thompson and Rob Kelley on injured reserve, Bibbs will look to compete for a spot on the 53-man roster.

In addition, center Weston Richburg (New York Giants), cornerback DeAndre Elliott

(Seattle Seahawks) and tight end Crockett Gillmore (Baltimore Ravens) are all on injured reserve. Richburg, named the top center in the NFL by PFF last season, was on his way to another promising campaign before

suffering a head injury during Week 4. Elliott and Gillmore have not played this season after suffering ankle and knee injuries in the preseason, respectively.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Rams head to Denver for first road game of season

By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

After a long home stand, the Colorado State women’s basketball team will head out on the road for the first test of the season away from the confines of Moby Arena.

A 3-2 opening to the season that includes an upset over Gonzaga has the Rams riding a wave of momentum into their matchup against the University of Denver. Even though the game is within driving distance, the Rams will have their first true test of maturity on the young season.

Inconsistency amid a young team has been the lone downfall so far on a bright start to the season for the Rams. Going on her first road trip, freshman Lore Devos, who leads the Rams in scoring, will be leaned upon despite her college infancy. With an average of 12.6 points per game, accompanied by a teamleading 13 turnovers, Devos is adapting to the flow of college hoops and slowly growing accustomed to the new game.

“The road is always different,” coach Ryun Williams said. “It requires a different focus. You’re going to face some adversity Nobody is gonna be cheering for you. So it’s a real test and we need to be put in that situation, we need that.”

On the other end of the spectrum for the Rams, senior Hanna Tvrdy and junior Sofie

Tryggedsson are leading by example on both sides of the court. As the facilitator of the offense, Tvrdy stands as the only returning player for the Rams that played over 1,000 minutes last season.

With veteran leadership on the team proving vital on their first road trip, a message has been given to the team through example in practice and preparation for their upcoming road trip.

“I think it’s about (the younger players) seeing whoever has been on the road before,” Tryggedsson said. “Just watching us and how it is to be on the road, and I think it’s important that we get this road game before we start conference so it’s not so overwhelming.”

Coach Williams has created a dynamic duo for the Rams with the addition of redshirt freshman Grace Colaivalu into the starting lineup. A thunder and lightning pairing for the Rams, both players have brought the ball up and been allowed to create plays on and off the ball for a young Rams team.

Although Colaivalu has only gotten one start and has yet to break the century mark for minutes played, she is able to follow the tutelage of Tvrdy, who leads the team in minutes and has experienced the adversity that the road brings. Fellow senior Veronika Mirkovic has served as the leader for the Rams as well, as the main returning big down low.

“I don’t think (age) should be an excuse,” Mirkovic said.

Senior Guard Hannah Tvrdy plays defense on an Idaho forward during forth quarter against the Idaho State Vandals on Nov. 10. The Rams fell to Vandals 83-69 during the home opener at Moby Arena.

“We all need to be locked in and give 100 percent all the time because we know what we’re doing, we practice it a lot.

Now we (had multiple) days before Denver, so we should know what we’re doing.”

The Pioneers are led in scoring by sophomore Madison Nelson, a forward that has height to rival any Ram defender. Nelson also leads the team in rebounds

and will be a versatile cog in the Pioneer attack. With the Rams starting lineup failing to feature a single player taller than Nelson, the Rams will be put to the test on the inside.

“We’re trying to be more efficient offensively and defensively,” Williams said. “The biggest thing is awareness, our awareness of what the defense is doing, how they’re playing. It still has to

improve, and you saw that the other night but these kids are making progress.”

Denver and Greeley pose as the only road games of December for the Rams, but the foreign atmosphere still pose a threat. The Rams will head to Denver Thursday for their matchup against the Pioneers, tipping off at 7 p.m.

Why did computers decide home-field advantage?

By Chadd Cripe

The Idaho Statesman

Nov. 28--Boise State’s contract with the Mountain West -- negotiated at the end of 2012 when the Broncos decided to stay rather than depart for the Big East -- keeps delivering for the Broncos.

The latest perk: home-field advantage for the Mountain West championship game Saturday against Fresno State.

The agreement includes four primary terms and a list of items under “other provisions.”

The third such provision was that if the conference expanded to 12 football teams, “a conference championship game will be played at the home of the team with the highest BCS ranking as of a date

specified by the MWC.” The rules were adjusted when the College Football Playoff replaced the BCS. The home team is the division winner with the highest ranking in the CFP. If neither team is ranked when the regular season ends, or one team is ranked but is expected to lose that ranking (Boise State this year), then an average of four computer rankings is used, creating a BCS-like result. Waiting until the CFP rankings come out on Tuesday wasn’t an option for logistical reasons.

Boise State insisted on that system because it protects a team that is on the cusp of a major bowl bid from having to play the championship game on the road. And when Boise

State was making this deal, the Broncos were perennial contenders for such a berth.

If not for that provision, the system likely would be different. Only two other conferences play their championship games at home sites (American and Conference USA), and both rely on conference records to determine the site. That would have given Fresno State the edge -- both teams are 7-1 in the Mountain West and the Bulldogs won the head-tohead game last week.

The Broncos’ advantage in the computers comes down to two areas: they beat potential Sun Belt champ Troy in a non-conference game while Fresno State played Incarnate Word, and the Broncos played

five bowl-bound Mountain West teams to Fresno State’s three because the Mountain Division is the stronger side.

“The body of work that we have put in this entire season earned us the opportunity to have this game at home,” Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said.

“What have you done for me lately? Our last game, not much.

We did have a body of work that put us in position to host this game. If they want to change it at some point, by all means.”

The first two terms in that agreement to stay in the Mountain West concerned the finances of the move. The third, though, requires the Mountain West to market Boise State’s home football games as a separate package, which gives the Broncos more control than

the rest of the league over the fate of their games in the next TV deal. The fourth requires a distribution of TV revenue based on exposure, which has been lucrative for the Broncos and now guarantees them $1.8 million more per year than the rest of the conference and a bonus for a participant in a BCS/New Year’s Six bowl, which the Broncos capitalized on in 2014.

Among the final provisions was the right for Boise State to wear all blue uniforms at home (or any other combination that conforms with general Mountain West rules). This was in response to a Mountain West rule that prohibited the Broncos’ favored home uniforms.

Grammys get in tune with hip-hop and diversity for 2018 nominations

By Randy Lewis Los Angeles Times

After treading cautiously through the realm of hiphop for nearly four decades, the Recording Academy belatedly has embraced the genre wholeheartedly in its most prestigious categories for the 60th Grammy Awards, nominations for which were announced Tuesday.

Combined, genre stars Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar received 15 nominations, and one-time rapper Childish Gambino, the musical alter-ego of actor Donald Glover (“Atlanta,” “Solo: A Star Wars Story”) received five nods for his more recent, funk-leaning work.

Each artist received nods in the top categories of record and album of the year, acknowledging the central role hip-hop and urban music hold in contemporary pop music.

Additionally, nominations in the Grammys’ four general categories of record, album, song and new artist illustrate the broad-based diversity at work in today’s pop music, with nods to artists of color and women, with a notable absence of white males among the top artist nominees.

“I think the nominations are a reflection of a very savvy current voting membership who really do have their fingers on the pulse of what is happening in music,” Academy President Neil Portnow told The Times on Monday. “I think they’re also exhibiting good judgment about what represented excellence in music this year.”

Jay-Z leads this year’s nomination slate with eight surrounding his “4:44” album, followed by Compton’s Lamar with seven and R&B-pop singer-songwriter Bruno Mars with six. California-born, Georgia-reared Gambino, Georgia-born R&B-pop singer songwriter Khalid, Chicago producer-songwriter No I.D. and St. Louis-born R&B artist SZA tied with five apiece, academy officials announced early Tuesday.

Album of the year nominees are Jay-Z’s “4:44,” Gambino’s “Awaken, My Love!,” Lamar’s “Damn.,” Lorde’s “Melodrama” and Mars’ “24K Magic.”

Contenders for record-ofthe-year, which honors vocal performance, songwriting, production and engineering,

are Gambino’s “Redbone,” Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” (which also featured Justin Bieber), Lamar’s “Humble.,” Jay-Z’s “The Story of O.J.” and Mars’ “24K Magic.”

“Despacito,” one of the runaway hits of 2017 that has racked up more than 4.4 billion views on YouTube for the accompanying video, is the first non English-language song nominated for overall song and record of the year, an acknowledgment of the growing influence of Spanishspeaking musicians, and listeners, in the U.S. today.

Nominations for songof-the-year, which is strictly a songwriting category, are “Despacito,” “4:44,” Julia Michaels’ hit “Issues,” Logic with Alessia Cara and Khalid’s single “1-800-273-8255” and Mars’ “That’s What I Like.”

All are collaborations among multiple songwriters ranging from two, in the case of “4:44” (written by Shawn Carter _ Jay-Z’s given name _ and Dion Wilson), to eight for “That’s What I Like.”

Three of those songs focus on social or topical issues such as womanizing (“4:44”), suicide (“1-800-273-8255”) and relationship struggles (“Issues”), while two are more lighthearted celebrations of the party spirit and romance (“Despacito” and “That’s What I Like”).

“I think the nominations are a reflection of a very savvy current voting membership who really do have their fingers on the pulse of what is happening in music.”

NEIL PORTNOW ACADEMY PRESIDENT

The new artist nominees also constitute a diverse bunch, from Philadelphia-based hip-hop artist Lil Uzi Vert, Georgia-born military brat Khalid and Canadian singersongwriter Alessia Cara to the aforementioned SZA and Iowaborn, Santa Clarita, Calif.reared electro-pop singer/ songwriter Julia Michaels.

Singer-songwriter Kesha, whose career had been

sidelined for years while she has been tied up in court battles with producer Dr. Luke, whom she accused of sexual assault, landed two nominations for pop vocal album for “Rainbow,” her first in five years, and for pop solo performance for her single “Praying”).

This year’s nominations virtually ignore the rear-view mirror sensibility that’s often been a key factor in the general categories.

In years past, Grammy voters have awarded heritage artists decades after they made their initial contributions.

Those include late-career album-of-the-year Grammys to artists including Ray Charles, Santana, Steely Dan, Herbie Hancock, Tony Bennett and Eric Clapton, many widely seen more as lifetime achievement honorariums rather than awards supported by the merits of their nominated works.

Instead, virtually all the latest nominations single out artists who have largely come of age in the past decade. At 47, Jay-Z is the grand old man of the lot.

Even some recent-vintage favorites among Grammy voters, including English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran and singer-songwriterperformance artist Lady Gaga, have been passed over in favor of fresher names in the top categories.

Portnow cited three reasons he believes this year’s nominations appear to be more reflective of the most current forces in pop music: ongoing efforts by the academy to insure that its voting members are actively engaged in making music, the impact hip-hop and urban music continue to exert creatively and commercially, and the introduction this year of online voting for the nominations, which Portnow said reflects the reality of academy members’ “schedules, which are pretty upside down.”

“I think the fact is this is just maybe a time in music history and culture where you can get a slate like you have this year,” he said.

The Grammys have weathered criticism for favoring well-established artists over those at the forefront of popular music, an issue that largely falls by the wayside with this year’s slate of au courant nominees.

Perhaps the most visible

example of the pivot from the tried-and-true this year is the absence of any nominations for the Beatles, or Beatles-related recordings.

Even the highly touted, and enthusiastically received 50th anniversary reissue of the group’s landmark 1967 album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” failed to score nods in the boxed or special limited edition package, historical album or album notes categories.

Deeper into the nominations however, veteran artists can be found in the traditional pop album category (Bob Dylan’s “Triplicate” triple-album of pop standards is up against “Tony Bennett Celebrates 90,” among others), traditional blues album (The Rolling Stones for “Blue and Lonesome”) and spoken word (Bruce Springsteen, for his “Born to Run” audiobook).

As usual, however, industry voters did set the stage for potential posthumous Grammy Awards to artists who died recently.

Canadian poet-songwriter Leonard Cohen is nominated in two categories for songs from his final studio album, “You Want It Darker,” the title track up for rock performance and his song “Steer Your Way” for American roots performance, a category in which Glen Campbell is also nominated for his track “Arkansas Farmboy.”

Allman Brothers Band co-founder Gregg Allman’s name also appears in two categories, while Soundgarden/ Audioslave/Temple of the Dog singer-songwriter Chris Cornell is nominated for rock performance for “The Promise.”

In conjunction with this year’s 60th anniversary award ceremony, the Grammy Awards show will originate this year from Madison Square Garden in New York City on Jan. 28, instead of its usual home at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Grammy Awards are determined by 13,000 voting members of the Recording Academy, which consists of performers, songwriters, producers, engineers, managers, record executives and other industry personnel.

Recordings eligible for consideration were released between Oct. 1, 2016 and Sept.

30, 2017.

Pride >> from page 1 “They inform each other; I am not one more than the other.”

Fries has taken note of the University’s large population of white students.

“There’s also a piece for me working at a predominantly white campus as a queer person of color,” Frias said. “I want to be the me that I never had as an undergrad. I didn’t meet someone that looked like me that held my identities until I was 25, until I came here.

And that’s too long for a young queer person not to see themselves reflected as grown folks.”

Intersectionality describes the interconnectedness of power structures and discriminations.

It was first coined by legal scholar and renowned Black Feminist Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989.

Frias hopes to bring a stronger awareness to this concept through her new position.

“Dora will also be very intentional about making sure the Pride Resource Center is an intersectional space for students and continue to make sure that the center is one where students who identify along the continuum of gender expression find a place of support and validation,” Sisneros said.

“I often feel like I am literally straddling identities...”

DORA FRIAS

Needing to discuss intersectionality holds an importance on a college campus and especially within resource centers.

“A needed breath of reality and intersectionality comes in with an intentional framework around supporting and advocating firstly for students,” Ambrose said.

Because of her background, Frias feels this element of balancing identities on a personal level. She was born in Durango, Mexico, and grew up in El Paso, Texas, near the border of Mexico.

“That has very much informed how I understand myself,” Frias said. “I often feel like I am literally straddling identities and lived in an area that was literally straddling nations.”

Frias seeks to make this a space for all LGBT students.

She recognizes that the Pride Resource Center only sees a portion of these students and that these individuals often interact in different parts of campus.

“I want to hear from students that haven’t accessed the office that want to access the office that feel like they can’t for some reason,” Frias said. “I want to hear from them I want to hear their stories about why.”

ALEC REVIEWS MUSIC

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ ‘Who Built the Moon’ is unoriginal

By Alec Erickson @CTV_Ace

In the world of alternative music and rivalries, there has always been one set of brothers at the forefront.

Liam and Noel Gallagher have always been one to challenge not only themselves but one another, and now just a short while after the release of Liam’s first solo album, Noel’s band is back with their third studio album, “Who Built the Moon.” This record is the group’s most uplifting and energetic release yet, but after leaving the sophomore slump behind, the group has found some cliché and campy elements all over their latest release.

The Manchester, Englandbased rock group that is Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds formed back in 2010. For the most part, the band is comprised of most of what remains out of Oasis after that band split with tensions between brothers Noel and Liam. Noel still takes on songwriting and singing for the band, and they released their first self-titled album back in 2011. That album would go on to do well both commercially and critically. Their highly

Alec Reviews music anticipated follow up album “Chasing Yesterday” was a huge shift for the band as we heard less power chords and more of a modern take on psychedelic rock. The group started to form their sound as a slower rock band and were trying to differentiate themselves from their Oasis beginnings. Their latest attempt “Who Built the Moon” is another tonal shift for the band as they begin to pick up the tempo.

“Who Built the Moon” is a 12-track record that clocks in at around 49 minutes in length. We hear more of a focus

on instrumentals and lyrics coming in only when needed on each track. When things do start to slow down on a few of the tracks, they begin to noticeably become confused and uninspired. Only when things are in full gear do you really hear Noel and company at some of their finest.

Musically, there is an attempt to pick up the pace on “Who Built the Moon.”

Lead tracks “Fort Knox” and “Black & White Sunshine” see a big upscale in the tempo, with more of a focus on power chords and progression than

previous works. Other tracks like “Be Careful What You Wish For” are the exact opposite and are a slow drag of the feet from beginning to end. There is a mixed bag for sure when it comes to “Who Built the Moon,” and for fans, they will have to pick it a part to find something that seems new or exciting.

Tracks like “If Love Is the Law” don’t have a lot of progression and seem a little too over produced for a final mix. “It’s a Beautiful World” is one of the few tracks that found one rhythm and stuck with it. When a few of the tracks are over five minutes long, you don’t really want to end up listening to the same few chords over and over with nothing new. After about the first minute, you will start to get the idea and want to move on.

Lyrically, there isn’t a whole lot to pick apart on “Who Built the Moon.” The record is more focused on instrumentals and has a few instrumental tracks like “Fort Knox” and “Interlude (Wednesday Part 1)” and “End Credits (Wednesday Part 2).”

That is a pretty big chunk of the record without any lyrics. The rest is shallow and simple in nature. Tracks like “She Taught Me How To Fly” have a couple of

lines that are repeated through the entire track. You can hear how this album was supposed to be a lot more philosophical than it really is. Tracks like “If Love Is the Law” challenging the typical ballad. Other tracks like “The Man Who Built the Moon” are darker and moodier than the rest but still have clichés written all over them and get drowned out by the rest of the instrumentals.

Should you listen to it? No. When it comes down to it, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds came away from “Who Built the Moon” with half an idea, and not much progression.

While there was a distinct effort to make this different than the last two records and make it more upbeat, the fact is this record is best served in pieces rather than in a whole. “Who Built the Moon” won’t make you think, but it does have some fun hidden away on it. Although, you must dig and know what you are looking for. As for “Who Built the Moonm” the answer to that question may be a little more disappointing than some expected.

How to take advantage of Groupons in Fort Collins

By Casey Setash @caseylovesbirds

College is expensive, but having fun doesn’t have to be.

Groupons are online coupons that allow people to get the most out of their city on the cheap while also discovering new places to eat, explore and have fun.

Groupons are typically created by businesses to drum up new customers and get people interested in their products or services.

Red Rocks’ new ticketing system to improve access for disabled people Maddie Wright @maddierwright

Colorado’s famous concert venue, Red Rocks Amphitheater, is in the process of changing how they sell and distribute tickets to better assist those with accessibility needs.

The venue management announced that this new system will be implemented in 2018.

The change will mostly affect the first four rows of the amphitheater, because that’s where the more easily accessible seats are. Those who use wheelchairs only have two rows to sit in; the front row and the 70th.

RED ROCKS NEW TICKET SYSTEM: ■ This system goes into effect

February 2018 ■ The first four rows must purchase tickets through Flash Seats ■ These rows must provide identification and must be used by the initial purchaser ■ Those who purchase first row tickets must confirm their need for accessible tickets ■ Those buying multiple tickets must show up with their entire party A reason for this change is that these seats are frequently bought and then re-sold, according to a statement

by Denver Arts & Venues.

The concern with a lack of accessibility led to a lawsuit against the city of Denver, which owns Red Rocks, by a group of advocates for disabled individuals in December 2016.

Discoveries abound.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

The plaintiffs were not asking for money but rather change.

“With these new procedures, we are excited to put tickets in the hands of fans who truly need these accessible seats so they can experience the magic of Red Rocks,” said Red Rocks venue manager Tad Bowman in a statement.

For all shows after Feb. 1 2018, these tickets must be used by the original purchaser who must show their identification before sitting.

The AXS’ Flash Seats program will be the only

ticketing system allowed in these first four rows and will be the prefered method for the rest of the venue. Flash Seats describes themselves as “an innovative, cuttingedge solution” for sports and entertainment industries.

Instead of physical tickets, the system has the concert goer receives tickets via their registered Flash Seats account and provide identification which an employee swipes. No paper tickets will be accepted at the venue. According to Flash Seats, it is easy and quick. Other

concert venues, such as the Pepsi Center, are already using this system.

People buying first row tickets must confirm that they are in need of accessible seating.

They will also get wrist bands at Red Rocks to allow them access to these seats.

People buying more than one ticket need to show up with their entire party in order to initially get into the stadium and be together to get to their designated seating. If someone arrives not with the person who originally bought the tickets,

they will not be allowed entry.

If these conditions are broken, refunds will not be given.

Some tickets that are on sale now, including Niall Horan, Barenaked Ladies, and X Ambassadors, are using this new system.

However, this new system does not affect special programs that take place at Red Rocks, such as their fitness programs or Film on the Rocks.

FOOD AND DINING

A student’s guide to the world of coffee

By Sarah Ehrlich @SarahEhrlich96

For some people, particularly college students, coffee is considered its own food group.

Coffee, like beer or wine, is great to share among friends and has been developed into a variety of roasts and flavors. One of the most common sources of caffeine has a long history and many different ways to drink it.

Coffee goes back centuries, and its exact origin is still up for debate. One legend suggests a ninth century goat herder noticed when his animals ate coffee berries they began to dance and have high energy.

The herder decided to put the berries in a drink and found it kept him up all night. Thus the first cup of coffee was born.

The bean to cup process is a rather long and difficult one. Coffee trees can take up to three or four years to produce a coffee cherry, where the coffee bean is found inside.

The cherries are dried, and the beans are harvested and dried before being exported around the world. From there, the green coffee beans are roasted and then ground to be brewed into our favorite drinks.

“How the coffee is prepared really dictates what kind of flavor profile it will have,“ said Aidan Lancaster, a coffee aficionado and employee of Alley Cat Café. “Most of the coffee I personally enjoy comes from Southeast Asia and the volcanic islands there where the soil quality gives me that robust flavor I am looking for. Although you don’t need some expensive or fancy bean to enjoy good coffee, just as long as the bean is grounded correctly.”

There are over 100 types of coffee but the most widely produced are coffee Arabica and coffee Robusta. Arabica beans are more popular because they offer a sweeter, softer taste while Robusta has a more harsh and earthy taste. These beans are usually roasted into three different types: light, medium and dark.

Light: Most breakfast roasts fall into this category. These beans are lightly roasted but contain the most caffeine and have high acidity.

Medium: This kind of roasts offers a more balanced and stronger flavor but with a little less caffeine.

Dark: These beans are roasted the longest, leaving a

strong and full-bodied flavor, with the least amount of caffeine.

“Students usually get the sweeter things here, but some just get espresso,” said Joseph Grenham, a fermentation science student and employee of Intermissions Coffee in the LSC. “With coffee, you can do whatever you want. If you change one small ingredient, you change the whole coffee experience. I also love the caffeine, of course.”

Drip Coffee: This is the low and gentle extraction of coffee using hot water. This is the coffee you might be most familiar with and is the simplest to make with any coffee maker or Keurig.

Flavor: Expect a strong and fresh flavor. What kind of roast and brand you drink will change up your drip coffee experience.

Fun fact: Coffee is known to be an ideal pre-workout drink.

It increases adrenaline, which then aids in performance and more calories burned.

Try: Boyer’s Butterscotch

Toffee Coffee from Denver, CO. Espresso: When that 8 a.m. class is not messing around, try going for the extra strong expresso. In this drink, near boiling water is forced under pressure through ground coffee beans.

Flavor: The water to coffee ratio is less than drip coffee, making espresso thicker with a strong bitter flavor. Expresso also boasts a much higher concentration of caffeine.

Fun fact: “espresso” means express in Italian and was developed in 1884.

Try: Alley Cat Café’s Red Eye Cat, chai tea with a shot of espresso.

Shot in the Dark: The best of both worlds giving you a nice caffeine buzz.

Flavor: Drip coffee with two shots of espresso.

Fun fact: This type of coffee is also called a red eyem but “shot in the dark” is more commonly used in the Southwest, particularly Colorado and parts of New Mexico.

Try: The Bean Cycle’s Shot

in the Dark.

Latte: For those who need the caffeine of an espresso, without the harsh flavor.

Flavor: Made with steamed milk, this drink will offer a creamier taste along with flavored syrups you can add in such as vanilla, hazelnut, caramel or peppermint.

Fun fact: Coffee and milk have been part of European cuisine since the 17th century.

Try: Mug’s “Big White Whale” Latte with white chocolate, Irish cream and hazelnut.

Americano: This type of cofee exists for people who take their caffeine seriously but do not want the full power of an espresso shot.

Flavor: Americano is espresso with a shot of hot water, for a more diluted caffeine experience.

Fun fact: An unconfirmed belief of Americano’s origin says that the drink comes from American WWII soldier’s in Italy diluting their coffee to save their rations.

Try: Intermission at CSU’s Americano, nice and straight.

Cappuccino: The milk helps with flavor, plus your barista can add cool art into the foam.

Flavor: Double espresso with steamed milk. Chocolate or cinnamon may be added.

Fun fact: The steamed foam acts as an insulator and allows the liquid to retain its heat for a longer period of time.

Try: Starry Night Cafe’s Cappuccino It is estimated that 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed each day worldwide. When buying coffee, it is important to consider if the company works with the Rainforest Alliance, to ensure its product is fair trade, meaning the employees and environment are taken into serious consideration.

This beverage is an acquired taste, so don’t feel like you have to take your coffee black to get the full caffeine effect. As always, ask your barista for the best and tasty options.
