ASCSU ratifies new president, vice president

By Haley Candelario @H_Candelario98

Colorado State University’s student government ratified their former vice president, Michael Wells, as president Wednesday night following the recent impeachment of the elected student body president, Josh Silva.

Cole Wise, formerly chief of staff, was ratified as the new vice president.

Wells nominated Wise for

the position, who was voted in by the senate body of the Associated Students of CSU with a vote of 26-0-2. A twothirds vote was required for Wise to be ratified into the position.

Wells and Wise said they understood that many members of ASCSU were impacted by the proceedings and the results of former President Josh Silva’s impeachment.

“The past few weeks (we)

have been through trials, roadblocks and tribulations for all of us,” Wise said. “One thing that we can all share in this room tonight is that we were all affected by the impeachment in some way or another the past 12 plus weeks.”

Wells and Wise said they would make an effort to restore relationships that were strained during the impeachment proceedings.

“There’s a lot of work that

needs to be completed and a lot of rebuilding that needs to begin,” Wise said. “I am dedicated to this organization, the people who serve in it and the people that we serve for.

As your vice president, I will make sure that no voice is left unheard and that we all come together for the common good of all students of Colorado State University.”

Wise said current Deputy Chief of Staff Baylee Lakey see ASCSU on page 4 >>

As Fort Collins’ population increases, local government -along with the help of shelters and volunteers -- is working to implement initiatives to avoid displacement of the homeless community as it grows and overflows the local shelters’ capacities.

As winter approaches, seasonal shelters begin operating within the community, starting at the beginning of the November.

Fort Collins has two main shelters that operate yearround: Catholic Charities and Fort Collins Rescue Mission.

The City also offers seasonal overnight options and warming centers from Nov. 1 to April 30.

According to Dustin Barrington, the programs manager for Catholic Charities, volunteers are needed throughout the year, but particularly during the holidays for general operations, along with food and gift programs.

“The issue of homelessness is a community-wide issue – not just a city government issue,” Sowder said. “We all need to step up and help out if we are going to make a difference.”

Volunteers play a dominant role in the success and efficiency of homeless shelters within the Fort Collins community. When Safe Places to Rest (SPTR) first emerged as a pilot project in 2016, 60 volunteers contributed more than 1,250 hours of service by managing satellite sites and providing safe transportation.

Turning Point USA builds third free speech wall on CSU Plaza

By Stuart Smith @notstuartsmith

For the third time in three semesters, a free speech wall cosntructed from cardboard boxes was built on the Lory Student Center Plaza at Colorado State University Wednesday afternoon.

However, while the last two walls were built by the Conservative Interest Group of Colorado, Wednesday’s wall was built by Turning Point USA, a non-partisan, conservative political group aimed at younger Americans.

Much like the last two, the wall was designated as a place for anyone to be able to write what they wanted without repercussions.

For Turning Point USA, the goal was simply to speak to people and remind them of their First Amendment rights.

“We’re just hoping to talk to as many people as possible, and get as many people to sign on the wall as we can,” said Will Witt, the Rocky Mountain field director for Turning Point USA. “We want … people to recognize that the

Constitution is a beautiful thing and that the First Amendment is a beautiful thing. Without, that it wouldn’t really be America.”

Though the goal of wall was intended remind people of their rights, Witt said that they would also welcome anyone interested in joining the group.

“If there are students who like our message and what Turning Point’s about, we love to always have more people come and join us,” Witt said.

“We’re really trying to get all sorts of people to come in.”

Unlike the last two free speech walls, there was not much outrage from students.

While the wall was spray painted before the group packed it up, the student reactions to the wall differed from past walls built on the Plaza.

The first free speech wall was built last October by the Conservative Interest Group of Colorado, an organization led by CSU student Juan Caro, and the strong reaction by students took up nearly half the Plaza. Around 75 students gathered around the wall in

October before it was taken down, and one student stabbed through a cardboard box with a pair of scissors.

A second free speech wall was built in February this year by the CIG in a counter demonstration to a rally organized by Dreamers United.

Dreamers United was holding an event reacting to one of President Donald Trump’s earliest executive orders, a travel ban that banned travelers from six different countries in the Middle East, which directly affected three CSU students.

While both free speech walls eventually led to real conversations about issues between students, they both began with anger and hostility between the people involved.

While the wall built Wednesday did not gain as much attention from the general student body as the other two, mainly due to the wall’s position on the side of the Plaza, the people that did walk up acted friendly and were open to conversation, accomplishing the goal Witt described.

“We’re really just trying to have a diversity of thought on campus,” Witt said. “You don’t get to hear a lot of these values much, college campuses are pretty liberal-centric … so

having a different voice and having conversations with all sorts of different people is what we really aim to do.”

Homeless >> from page 1

released by City of Fort Collins, through the effort of a staff of predominantly volunteers, 557 shelter beds were provided for the 69 days the project ran.

According to Beth Sowder, the social sustainability director for the City of Fort Collins, volunteers come from a variety of places. Faith-based communities are a primary source of volunteers, but anyone is welcome to help.

According to winter and emergency weather shelter information provided by the City, warming centers are seasonally available from 6-10 p.m. Friday through Sunday, with the location varying depending on the day.

The Seasonal Overflow Shelter (SOS) operates Friday through Monday, with the potential of additional nights to be added depending on the weather. SPTR runs Tuesday through Thursday.

The SOS serves as a shelter after Catholic Charities exceeds their capacity. Once SOS is full, SPTR provides assurance that all members of the homeless community receive shelter during colder temperatures.

With demands exceeding shelter capacity during the winter, guests must first attend the bed lottery at Catholic Charities at 6 p.m. before receiving admittance to any shelter. If guests successfully obtain a voucher to Catholic Charities, they are admitted at 10 p.m. Overflow guests may be assigned a spot in the SOS at the Community Christ Church or with SPTR, where they will be transported to communitybased sites.

According to Sowder, an emergency weather shelter plan may be activated in the case of extreme temperatures.

In this instance, the City works with shelters and warming centers to ensure every person seeking shelter receives it.

Each year, data is collected on the effects that new initiatives have on the homeless community. The City uses the data to identify problems within the system.

“Right now, Fort Collins has many good services for people, but not enough housing units that are affordable (and) not enough housing assistance to ensure housing retention,” Sowder said. “We will continue to watch the data so we can identify where the gaps are and prioritize resources to fill those gaps (and) meet the needs.”

Although not directly involved with management of shelters in the community, local

government collaborates with partners to create an effective system through funding and policy implementation that not only provides necessary temporary housing, but longterm solutions to homelessness within the community as well.

In an attempt to reduce homelessness within the community, Fort Collins’ local government developed Homeward 2020 to serve as a catalyst for the proposed Fort Collins Ten Year Plan with the goal to make homelessness rare, short-lived and nonrecurring.

The plan aims to implement a network of housing and services to assist current homeless residents by getting them permanent housing and to prevent those at risk of homelessness from losing their home.

According to data provided

by Homeward 2020, both the number of homeless families and unaccompanied homeless youth decreased between 2013 and 2015, following its implementation. The mean length of homelessness within the community also decreased from 904 days in 2013 and 746 days in 2015.

Barrington believes the homeless situation in Fort Collins will be a challenge, but can easily be solved through community cooperation and synergy.

“The reality of homelessness is very complex and each situation is unique,” Barrington said. “Resolving this issue in our community will require a concerted effort from a wide spectrum of community stakeholders.”

According to data released

by Homeward 2020, despite progress in specific trends, Fort Collins saw an overall increase in homelessness each year from 2013 onward. The report attributes this to the City’s population growth, with 0.19 percent of the population consistently remaining homeless throughout the years of data collected.

With the selflessness of volunteers, Barrington believes the community can easily tackle providing for the growing population.

“We have a very generous local community and we are thankful that this is so,” Barrington said. “If homelessness is being addressed in any community, I believe that it can be addressed in ours.”

Community members looking to volunteer at homeless shelters within the city are encouraged to call 970-484-5010 to speak with the volunteer coordinator for Catholic Charities.

High schoolers form speech and debate club

By Matt Bailey @mattnes1999

Matthew Yohannes and Peter Constas, two Colorado State University first year students who have been friends since their freshman year of high school, noticed something was missing when they looked at campus clubs and activities during freshman orientation: there was no speech and debate club.

“Almost every college, especially university, has a speech and debate team, and we come from a high school that’s pretty heavy on speech and debate,” Constas said.

“I think the day of orientation, before classes even started, we went to the SLiCE office and we said, ‘Okay, how do we start this team?’

And they gave us three sources and it just grew from there.”

Last night, only a few months after they initially visited the SLiCE office, Yohannes and Constas were sharing information to a group of students in a small Clark C-wing classroom about their newly formed club, the Speech and Debate Club.

“Public speaking is a very valuable skill, in addition to a lot of other skills that speech and debate provides in terms of leadership skills and camaraderie,” Yohannes said.

ASCSU >> from page 1 would not move up to the position of chief of staff.

Instead, an application for the position has been added to the ASCSU website for anyone to apply.

Wells said the organization could move past the tensions created during the impeachment proceedings if they remained open-minded to differing viewpoints within ASCSU. “It’s tough getting mixed up in a situation (where) we’re pitted against each other, and undoubtedly there will be sides and tensions that are strained,” Wells said. “However, this doesn’t have to be the case.

We must listen to each other, show empathy towards others and have compassion for new ideas.”

In an interview with the Collegian, Wells said acknowledging the impeachment would help the organization move forward.

“This is definitely a time for ASCSU that is tough, and I

In recent years, CSU has struggled to maintain a successful speech and debate team. In 2006, a speech and debate team was formed, but it eventually lost its funding and its coach and the university could not sponsor it anymore, so the communications department disbanded it.

Most recently, a parliamentary debate team that was formed in 2013 met the same fate when it was forced to disband not long after its formation.

Even with this knowledge, Yohannes and Constas decided to create their own club.

“It was so, so hard,” Yohannes said. “We went to the SLiCE office, they gave us a checklist of things to become a registered student organization. And it took us around two months to get that checklist completed. I don’t think we finished it until maybe October.”

Yohannes and Constas were required to watch hour-long videos and take tests on them. Then they needed to create a constitution for their club which included former and new amendments.

After this, Yohannes and Constas needed to set up a clear election system, maintain a certain amount of club members and set up a Student Organization Funding Account for fundraising.

Additionally, the first advi-

sor Yohannes and Constas found dropped their position, but they have since successfully found another advisor.

“My personal struggle was doing all of this on top of class work,” Yohannes said. “It was just really hard for me to do. But I was really passionate about this and I knew I had to do this anyway.”

In evaluating their past experiences with high school speech and debate, Yohannes and Constas are determined to create a club that not only offers friendship opportunities, but a club environment where members are free to think about their own beliefs, evaluate them, learn new beliefs and perspectives, and engage with other members in confidence.

“It’s probably one of the most accepting environments,” Constas said. “You can just be yourself.

Some of the best friends I have are still in the speech and debate team. Matthew and I are really good friends, which is basically from the speech and debate team.

I wouldn’t have known half of my friends without speech and debate.”

don’t think it’s doing good for anybody to not acknowledge that,” Wells said. “This is just a thing that as hard as it is, we’ve got to work to try to push through this. We have to put in the effort to do this.”

Wise said ASCSU needs to rebuild trust within the organization and with the student body.

“A lot of people were affected by the outcome of two weeks ago, and really that rebuilding needs to be done in ASCSU and (by) really making sure that we bring that reliability and trust back to from the students that definitely has been lost in the past two weeks,” Wise said in an interview with the Collegian. “We do that through making sure the student voice is being heard and making sure we are doing everything that our constituents want and need.

According to Wells, changing the culture of ASCSU will take significant effort, but he and Wise intend to remain positive regardless of the issues they will endure.

“As simple as it sounds, culture says a thousand words about an organization,” Wells

said in an interview with the Collegian. “Changing the culture is something everyone says they’re going to do, but it’s hard to give a tangible answer to what it looks like. I think what that looks like is coming from the top down … (we) are going to try to maintain an attitude that’s positive and idealistic and ready for the challenges that face us.

Wells said the impeachment process did not negatively impact the SilvaWells campaign platforms and allowed for the organization to exercise better communication with the student body.

“In a surprising way and in a good way, we have been able to see progress on those initiatives, specifically with more digital access,” Wells said in an interview with the Collegian. “The other big plank of that platform was communication, and ... this has given us an ability to start fresh and build that communication instead of trying to add layers to something that already existed.”

Trump’s ‘Pocahontas’ comments raise problems

By Jaweed Kaleen Los Angeles Times

When President Donald Trump called Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas” this week during a ceremony honoring Navajo war veterans, he didn’t just ignite a controversy over whether he used a racial slur against an opponent.

Trump also reopened a broader conversation about the federal government’s uneasy relationship with, and abusive treatment of, Native Americans.

It’s a history that included mass killings and efforts to strip tribes of their land, language and culture. More recently conflicts have shifted to cultural and legal fights over property rights, mascots and casinos.

“Trump is not alone in making insensitive comments or doing insensitive or downright horrible things that hurt American Indians,” said the Rev. John Norwood, general secretary of the Alliance of Colonial Era Tribes.

“There is a growing awareness of the history of indigenous Americans, but the insensitivity toward them still is incredibly prevalent.”

Norwood added that Native American groups haven’t always been on the losing end, especially in recent years in legal battles and cultural protests they have waged. “But unlike all other Americans, we are not immi-

grants, and yet we feel it’s often an uphill fight for us in our own land.”

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said it was “ridiculous” to think the president meant to insult anybody but the Massachusetts senator. But Warren, who says she has Cherokee heritage, and groups including the National Congress of American Indians and the Alliance of Colonial Era Tribes doubled down on critiques of the president.

Native American representatives said the back-and-forth over Trump’s words stung especially because they’re part of a long history of actions by the U.S. government and political officials that have continued to hit a nerve.

ANDREW JACKSON After Trump honored a small group of Navajo men Monday at the White House for their work as code talkers with the U.S. Marines during World War II, Native American groups noted that he did it as he stood in front of a painting of President Andrew Jackson.

Jackson, who was president from 1829 to 1837, is known for signing the Indian Removal Act, which forced more than 60,000 Native Americans to relocate from their homelands in the Southeast to areas west of the Mississippi River. Cherokees, who were among those who en-

dured what was called the Trail of Tears, called Jackson the “Indian killer.”

While Native American groups widely noted the odd contrast of Trump and Navajo honorees near a painting of Jackson, at least one Native American present said he was not bothered.

Thomas Begay, a code talker who stood by Trump as the president gave thanks for Begay’s service, told a CNN contributor that the painting “puzzled” him but did not offend him.

SPORTS MASCOTS For decades, many Native American tribes have campaigned against team mascots that use tribal names and imagery. And fans of the Atlanta Braves, Florida State University Seminoles and Kansas City Chiefs famously celebrate scores and wins by waving their arms in a “tomahawk chop.”

“There are exceptions where individual tribes have no issue with a local team, but by and large most tribes decry American Indian mascots to be psychologically damaging to American Indians,” Norwood said.

Perhaps the most controversial sporting team in this category is the Washington Redskins.

Owner Dan Snyder says he will never change the name, which he describes as imbued with the history of “who we are” and “where we came from.”

The federal government got involved when it was asked to deny trademark rights to the Redskins and others using Native imagery. Those challenges largely went nowhere in the past. But the government handed a symbolic win to tribal activists in 2014, when the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office denied the team’s trademark registrations because they were “disparaging to Native Americans.”

The victory may be shortlived. That’s because the Slants, an Asian-American band that was also denied a trademark for having an offensive name, won a Supreme Court case this year over the issue. Justices said that denying registration simply because people took offense went against the First Amendment.

PROBLEMS BETWEEN U.S. GOVERNMENT AND NATIVE AMERICANS ■ Native American groups noted

that Trump honored a group of Navajo men at the White House Monday while standing in front of a painting of President Andrew Jackson, who signed the Indian Removal Act. ■ Native American tribes have campaigned for decades against team mascots that use tribal names and imagery, such as the Washington Redskins.

■ Trump clashed with tribes after a 1988 federal law made it easier for casinos to open on tribal land.

■ Throughout 2016 and 2017, thousands of Native Americans protested against efforts to build the Dakota Access Pipeline. Former President Barack Obama signaled that he understood the concerns of tribes and environmental activists, but the Trump administration gave final approval for construction.

CASINOS Trump’s ongoing feud with Warren – he’s called her “Pocahontas” many times – isn’t the only spat with Native Americans that has caused him trouble.

Trump repeatedly clashed with tribes after a 1988 federal law made it easier for casinos to open on tribal land. In interviews and ads at the time, he painted tribes as being run by criminals and mobsters who, like he says now about Warren, misrepresented their background.

“I think I might have more Indian blood than a lot of the so-

called Indians that are trying to open up the reservations,” Trump said in 1993 during an interview with radio host Don Imus.

Speaking at a Native American Affairs Committee congressional hearing that year, Trump also questioned why tribes received special status in the casino business. “If you look, if you look at some of the reservations that you’ve approved ... they don’t look like Indians to me,” Trump said at the time to Rep. George Miller, a California Democrat.

The viewpoint isn’t unique to Trump. As tribal casinos have spread, they have frequently run up against protests from more established gaming companies.

Just two years ago, MGM sued the state of Connecticut over a law that let tribes, but not nontribal companies, compete to build a casino adjacent to a reservation. MGM called the law unfair.

DAKOTA ACCESS PIPELINE Throughout 2016 and 2017, thousands of Native Americans from across the U.S. descended upon North Dakota to camp out for months in protest against efforts to build a crude oil pipeline that would transport 500,000 barrels daily from the western part of the state to another pipeline in Patoka, Ill. The Standing Rock Sioux and the Cheyenne River Sioux said the Dakota Access Pipeline would threaten their way of life as well as the water and land they had depended on for generations.

It was another chapter in a centuries-long tussle between the U.S. government and Native American groups over land rights, one that federal authorities frequently win. The groups behind the pipeline said they had received the permission from local jurisdictions and the federal government to build, and said they would do it safely.

In the last month of his presidency, President Barack Obama signaled that he understood the concerns of tribes and environmental activists. “My view is that there is a way for us to accommodate sacred lands of Native Americans,” he said in an interview with Now This News, adding that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was looking for alternate routes.

But shortly after the inauguration this year, the Trump administration gave final approval for construction. During the campaign and his presidency, Trump said domestic energy production, such as through pipelines, needed to speed up to meet U.S. energy needs and fuel the economy. It was another defeat for the tribes.

Hidden ambulance costs endanger safety, should be covered 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.

In times of medical emergency, the only priority should be health and safety.

Unfortunately, due to the broken healthcare system in this country, Americans often find themselves worrying excessively over something else: Cost.

It’s no secret that medical bills can pile up and bury a person in debt for the rest of their lives. This has been a focus of much debate and activism.

However, there is one form of cost that has slipped under the radar of activism: Ambulance fees.

I have been painfully aware of this for some time – so much so that when I needed an emergency surgery, I waited 6 hours for a friend to get off of work rather than call an ambulance. As a result I had to be rushed into surgery with a dangerous combination of drugs and anesthesia, because there simply wasn’t time.

AMBULANCE FEES: The cost of an ambulance differs by state. However, an ambulance trip can cost as much as $2,500 as a base fee, and as much as $165 per mile.

I was so panicked about calling an ambulance because I knew that there was no regulation for insurers – except for Medicare and Medicaid – to cover ambulatory fees, and the costs of ambulances is extraordinary. For ground transportation, it costs around $2500 as a base fee, with an additional fee of $160 per mile.

This cost varies by state and by provider. These costs are just for transportation, and they do not include any medical assistance rendered on the ride.

Nowhere in the country are private insurers required to provide coverage of medically necessary ambulance fees.

Medicare and Medicaid will, but only if it is deemed the only possible form of transportation

– something a person can’t know until after they’ve already called the ambulance. Furthermore, ambulance fees are only covered to the nearest hospital, regardless of if that hospital takes the patient’s insurance.

While limiting ambulance coverage makes sense to stop people from abusing the service, limiting it so much that people are afraid to call one is only harming health.

This is further compounded by the fact that ambulance services – air and ground – are mostly privately operated, allowing the companies to charge whatever they want, and attempts to stop them from gouging insurers and patients have been met with a capitalist and inhumane response.

In Montana, lawmakers are attempting to stop air ambulance companies from overcharging by putting legislative limits on their costs.

In response, the air ambulance companies operating there are threatening to leave Montana.

The companies are, in essence, saying that their profits are more important than human life.

This shows the importance of being cautious when solving this problem, and it shows the danger of privatized medicine.

To solve this problem entirely would require an overhaul of the health system as we know it. For example, in Canada, a country with universal healthcare, an out-of-country visitor would pay a maximum of $530 for ambulance transportation even without any insurance. This maximum fee is in Manitoba, a sparsely populated province.

Areas with more population charge much less, and Yukon charges nothing at all no matter what.

However, in the current situation, a complete overhaul of healthcare and an institution of a universal plan are exceedingly unlikely. Therefore lawmakers need to work within the confines of the system to stop this cost from hitting constituents.

While Medicare and Medicaid should certainly expand their situational coverage, that can only be done on a federal level. The current GOP in Congress has done nothing but try to slash coverage from Medicare and Medicaid, so solving this issue on a federal level is not going to happen.

Local governments, however, can do something.

State governments can put mandates on health insurance companies, requiring that they cover certain things. This was a

major feature of the Affordable Care Act, reducing barebones plans to ensure that everyone with health insurance can have basic coverage. Ambulance coverage is not currently mandated, but it could be by the state.

If the state legislature in Colorado mandated insurers cover medically necessary ambulances, then insurance companies operating in Colorado would have to

cover it. The cost on insurers wouldn’t even be that extreme – compared to other health bills, a few thousand dollars for an ambulance doesn’t seem like much. But to a citizen, especially a low-income citizen, a bill like that could force them into bankruptcy.

Activists should take note of these issues and not let them fall under the radar. In a time when the federal government will not support healthcare, the

people need to put pressure on the states to step up and make humanitarian legislation that ensures everybody can access care without going bankrupt.

Nobody should be put in a situation where a fear of costs prevents them from getting to the hospital in time to save their life.

Social media is just one, big, beautiful lie Zach Bermejo @zbermejo

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.

Social media use is dictated by an assumption and manipulation of truth.

Manipulative content is spawned constantly on the internet, and we are not always aware of it.

Social media is a lot like The Mirror of Erised from the “Harry Potter” series. You see what you want to see, and you create a version of yourself that your heart most desires.

Manipulation is inherent in the design of Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. Our selfies and beer photos are only a representation of a fixed moment in time. One can change a photo if the representation is not to their liking, and you can usually do it in the platform itself. The reasons for personal editing vary. A study from the journal of Cyberpyschology, Behavior, and Social Networking says the reasons can develop from societal pressures and standards for a desirable physical appearance, or any other socially positive value.

Psychologists define social comparison as either upward or downward. Women are particularly affected by this

I am interested in upward comparison. The type of comparison that happens when you get jealous of your friend’s awesome trip to the Game of Thrones pop-up bar in D.C. Perhaps you have felt a wave of envy wash over you when you see people living their happy Facebook lives. The technical term for this feeling is social subordination.

Whether someone is really socially subordinated by a more desirable person in their network is moot. The feeling, often envy, is still real even if it is built upon a distorted assumption of the reality behind the photos.

Highlights on someone’s social media profile offer a skewed perspective and are not true representations of someone’s everyday life. Yet, when exposed to only those highlights, it is natural to suppose this persons life is amazing.

Distorted information can undoubtedly be shared with malicious intent. It would be hard to argue in the examples above – some users simply desire human approval, not causing malice. In the case of online blogs, such as news sources, false information is shared with the intent to harm or warp perspective. Social theorist Christian Fuchs notes that the internet is derealized: the boundary of reality and fiction is blurred, and it decontextualizes: scattered knowledge emerges as one aggregate of time and space.

Individuals such as Ryan Holiday have exploited these aspects of the internet for their

own gain.

In his book, “Trust Me, I’m Lying,” Holiday posits a theory of spreading false information, known as “trading up the chain.”

Attractive information is sent to a small online blog to be picked up by larger blogs until it becomes big and seemingly valid news. The effects of this are undoubtedly malicious.

As Holiday points out, the only sharable content is that which produces strong emotion – either anger or excitement.

Many articles go unshared for not achieving this.

Engineering information to meet Holiday’s defined sharable standard means sacrificing actual truth.

To analyze why social media promotes the growth of manipulated and distorted reality, we could look to theory about spaces. Henri Lefebvre’s theory of representational space gives us insight about how a space is socialized by its people and therefore, what is expected of a space. In terms of social media, this means sharing and observing.

We assume social media contextualizes the world, but it does not. Not really. Shared content is an inherently distorted, and is further distorted by people’s positive self-presentation and by media manipulators. Holiday passed along unofficial and controversial ads to blogs as a means of boosting the company’s presence--and it worked.

People are not made readily aware of this due to what Lefebvre calls an “illusion of

NOPE DOPE

transparency.” The illusion is that we tend to view space as innocent and “free of traps or secret places,” despite that there is more to be gleaned than what is immediately available to the eye.

“Highlights on someone’s social media profile offer a skewed perspective and are not true representations of someone’s everyday life.

Yet, when exposed to only those highlights, it is natural to suppose this persons life is amazing.”

To freely interact on social media requires you to assume that there is nothing hidden, that social media allows you to interact with a world that already is. Yet, in design, Facebook and other social media present information quickly. The entire story of your friends and the world cannot be properly contextualized in this manner, and it leads to shallower understandings of your surroundings. This is not free and rational thinking.

Simply, you do not have enough time to question what is being presented. Before you can think, another fragment of information is fed to you, and the cycle continues. We do this to make things easier. It is much more efficient to take

information as some semblance of truth, and give an opinion based on what exists immediately in front of you.

This not to say that global communication is not amazing.

One of the best and worst things about social media communication is that it removes the need to be in the same place as another human being. When talking to people, we need to our minds to share the same space but not our physical bodies.

However, removing physical presence removes a necessary human element. Social media leaves us with only our thoughts and representations. Living inside your headspace can give rise to wonderful ideas, but an existence within the mind forgets a tangible reality. It is a symptom of social media to promote such an existence.

Truth and fiction are almost impossible to discern when given intangible information. Saving our minds the trouble of forming reality by simply accepting something to be the truth is perilous at best.

The internet and social media will only continue growing in sophistication. Our ability to learn and understand social media will get harder. More consideration on what we share is needed. What you see may be a reflection of our world to some degree, but it does not capture the larger context. Social media can only mimic spaces we are familiar with and presume to know, and only scratches the surface of what is real.

Five CSU football players earn all-conference honors

By Justin Michael @JustinTMichael

The 2017 Mountain West annual football awards were announced by the conference Wednesday. Five Colorado State players received all-conference honors, and another five players were named honorable mention.

Quarterback Nick Stevens, wide receiver Michael Gallup and offensive linemen Jake Bennett and Zack Golditch were named first-team All-Mountain West. Senior running back Dalyn Dawkins was named to the second team.

“This honor means a lot to me, especially considering the level of competition within this conference and all of the other talent around the league,” Stevens said.

Linebackers Evan Colorito and Josh Watson, tight end Dalton Fackrell, offensive lineman Trae Moxley and punter Ryan Stonehouse were included as honorable mention recipients.

The four first-team selections are CSU’s most since 2014.

The Rams have multiple offensive linemen on the first team for the first time since 2000.

“Not only seniors, but also Colorado guys, and a group of guys I came in with (in 2013 signing class). Over the last five years we’ve all worked hard and accomplished something we set out to do, and we did it as a group,” Bennett said.

Along with the all-conference honorees, the Mountain West announced individual awards as well. Fresno State head coach Jeff Tedford was named

University of Nevada, Las Vegas quarterback Armani Rogers earned Freshman of the Year

recognition. Rogers is the only freshman nationally to have rushed for at least 700 yards and average 140 passing yards per game.

Boise State linebacker Leighton Vander Esch was named the conference Defensive Player of the Year. The junior ranked third in the league with 113 total tackles this season.

Finally, San Diego State running back Rashaad Penny took home both the Offensive and Special Teams Player of the Year awards. Penny finished the regular season ranked first in the FBS in rushing yards (2,027), rushing yards per game (168.9), all-purpose yards (2,698) and all-purpose yards per game (224.83).

He is second in total touchdowns (24), scoring per game (12.0) and third in rushing touchdowns (19).

The awards are determined by vote of the league’s coaches and media who cover MW teams.

CSU is one of six bowl eligible teams from the conference. The Rams will find out what bowl they are playing in on Sunday.

“Our motivation is to go out on top, with a win,” Golditch said.

“When we were freshmen we went to the New Mexico Bowl and saw what those seniors experienced winning a bowl game for the first time in so many ears.

Now we’ve gone to a bowl every year, but fallen short (in the last three). We want to show the team what it’s like to not only go to bowl games, but to win bowl games. When we leave we want them to keep going to bowls and win those.”

2017-18 Mountain West bowl predictions

By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_

Along with five other Mountain West football teams, Colorado State will find out its bowl destination Sunday afternoon.

The conference is only locked into five bowl games, meaning it is likely that one team will end up replacing a conference unable to fill its contracts.

CSU (7-5, 5-3 MW) is in contention for nearly every scenario, save the Las Vegas Bowl which will host the conference champion. The MW is also guaranteed a spot in the New Mexico, Idaho Potato, Hawaii and Arizona bowls. The sixth team will likely appear in the Frisco Bowl or Foster Farms Bowl depending on the success of other conferences.

The bowl selections will be

made primarily by networks such as ESPN and their respective bowl selection committees.

Star power, geography and history in the bowl all play a factor in the selection process.

Justin Michael and Colin Barnard take their best guesses at where each MW team will end up during bowl season.

VOLLEYBALL

Rams head to California to take on Michigan in NCAA tournament

By Austin White @ajwrules44

Come tournament time, playoff teams in the NCAA volleyball tournament are usually scrambling to find tape and scout their first round opponent. That will not be the case for the No. 23 Colorado State Rams who take on the Michigan Wolverines this Friday, Dec. 1 in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Back on Sept. 8, the Rams took care of the Wolverines in a sweep as part of an earlyseason tournament hosted by CSU. This time, the Rams will not have the orange-out Moby Arena crowd around them as the two will square off in Palo Alto, California in the regional hosted by Stanford.

“It’s an interesting situation because we did beat them before so we know they are a beatable team but they are going to want revenge,” sophomore Katie Oleksak said.

“I’m excited, I think it’s two really evenly matched teams so I think it will be a really great match.”

The Rams were able to sweep the then-ranked No. 16 Wolverines despite missing redshirt sophomore Kirstie Hillyer and the 1.49 blocks per set she adds to the squad.

“She’s really good offensively and she’s really good defensively as a blocker,” Michigan head coach Mark Rosen said about Hillyer. “We certainly have to respect that and be ready, have some plan.

But she is one of many on (CSU). In my mind, they are a really loaded team.”

time CSU record in hitting percentage for a season with her .473 average. She had 11 kills in the Michigan match, along with a solo block and three block assists.

However, head coach Tom Hilbert said that from his experience, the losing team coming into a rematch usually has the upper hand when it comes to preparation.

“I’ve been coaching long enough to know that, you play somebody once and beat them then they have a preparation advantage the second time you play them,” head coach Tom Hilbert said. “We have to understand and figure that we’re gonna have to do things differently against them.”

The player that might give the Wolverines that advantage is senior middle blocker Claire Kieffer-Wright. Last time in Fort Collins, the California native had 12 kills against the Rams on a .421 hitting percentage. She is second on the team in kills with 304 and her .324 hitting clip is the best on the team.

However, Michigan’s offense primarily runs through junior outside hitter Carly Skjodt who has almost double the amount of attack

attempts than her next closest teammate. Her 416 kills lead the Wolverines, who finished tied for first in the Big 10 with 1,576 kills.

“You have to look at like as a new match,” head coach Tom Hilbert said. “Both teams have matured since then so we didn’t go back to our match.

We just looked at the last five matches of Michigan.”

Michigan’s head coach Rosen, who grew up in Fort Collins, described how his team struggled in pretty much all areas of their loss to the Rams. What stood out the most to Rosen was his team’s struggle on the defensive side.

“We actually hit a decent number offensively, even though I don’t think we played great offensively, but we couldn’t defend them at all,” Rosen said. “You’re not going to be able to stay in a match with a good team if you can’t play on the defensive side of stuff.”

The all-time series between the Rams and Wolverines is 1-2 in favor of Michigan who defeated the Rams in the second round of the NCAA tournament back in 2007. That year, CSU also played Michigan twice, losing

to them in the regular season as well as the postseason.

A 1-2 all-time record does not sound as daunting when compared to the 0-11 record the Rams hold against their potential second-round opponent, the Stanford Cardinal.

The reigning national champions are the tournament’s No. 3 seed overall.

“We’re not going to talk to the team about what our record is against Colorado State,” Stanford head coach Kevin Hambly said. “I think the two big keys for the tournament are stay loose and relaxed and then stay in the moment and those two things usually lead to success.”

Anxiety in the Rams will come from trying to figure out how to deal with the Pac 12 Player of the Year in Stanford’s Kathryn Plummer.

The sophomore is the Cardinal’s leader on offense with 475 kills and a Pac 12-high 4.70 kills per set.

The Rams counter with their own former Freshman of the Year turned Player of the Year in sophomore Katie Oleksak. She earned the recognition this year by breaking CSU assist records

with her 12.02 assists per set, good for fifth best in the nation.

“The first thing you do with a good setter is you try to get her on the run and keep her off the net so she can’t use all of her options,” Hambly said.

“There is not much to do to defend a setter. We can defend the hitters she sets so if we can limit their options and make it a little bit easier for us to defend their attacks then that’s what we will do.”

Hambly stated how he is more focused on defeating their first round opponent in California State University, Bakersfield, but did mention the challenge that a balanced offense like CSU will present in their potential matchup.

The first-round matchup against Michigan will begin Friday, Dec. 1 at 5:30 p.m. MT followed by Stanford’s first round match at 7 p.m. MT. If the Rams win, their second round match will start at 7 p.m.

MT on Saturday, Dec. 2.

Neither match will be on TV or streamed online, but fans can listen in locally on the radio at 90.5 KCSU for both matches.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Avalanche’s all-rookie line is an educational experience

By Mike Chambers The Denver Post

According to Tyson Jost, there’s chemistry to be had with young NHL players sharing living quarters. Put three roommates on the same line and, boom, suddenly there’s tremendous rapport.

At least, that’s what Jost is anticipating since being assigned to a line Monday with fellow rookie centermen Alex Kerfoot and J.T Compher.

“It’s awesome. Obviously, we’re young, we’re fast,” Jost said after practice Monday, a day after being recalled from his week-long conditioning assignment in the minors. “We live together, too, so we’ve got a little bit of ‘roomy chem’ going on. It’s fun. We’re all excited.”

Each a natural center, Jost and Compher will play the wings on Colorado’s allNCAA line. Jost, 19, played one year at the University of North Dakota, Kerfoot, 23, had four years at Harvard and Compher, 22, played three at Michigan. They share a home in the Cherry Creek area with second-year defenseman Chris Bigras, 22, who came from the major-junior system -- where the majority of the NHL players develop.

And make no mistake, the college guys value their educational experience.

“I always can’t boast enough about UND and how great they were to me, how great that program is and how great the NCHC (National Collegiate Hockey Conference) and the NCAA is,” Jost said.

“I know they’ll say the same thing. College was awesome and it really helped us develop and we’re just happy to be part of their product and we just try to promote their brand.”

Said Kerfoot: “I’m definitely happy I went that route and the more NCAA guys we get on our team, the happier I’d be.”

Kerfoot is of the thinking that you can’t have enough centers, because having three on a line adds to faceoff options and promotes on-the-fly adjustments in the defensive zone. Playing with Jost and Compher, Kerfoot won’t always be the forward defending below the goal line if he’s not the first forward on the back-

check.

“The more centermen you have, the easier it is to be linemates,” Kerfoot said. “Nowadays, it’s pretty much the first guy back plays low and the more guys you have that are comfortable playing low, the better off you’ll be.”

Said Avs coach Jared Bednar: “(Three centers) helps on the draws. Compher has been taking draws on the right side, Kerfoot on the left, and if either one of them struggles, the (third) guy can jump in. Also arriving in D-zone coverage on your low play, you get three guys that are used to playing low all the time. Any particular one of those guys gets in the zone first and tracks back, it helps you close things out quicker because you’ve got a natural centerman down there that knows what he’s doing.”

Avalanche general manager Joe Sakic, the Hall of Fame center, has seven natural centers on his roster. They include Nathan MacKinnon, Carl Soderberg, Dominic Toninato and Colin Wilson. Kerfoot and Toninato signed with Colorado as free agents in August after Sakic told them he wants to build the future of the team down the middle.

Compher noted that his new linemates have different strengths. Jost is a possession guy, Kerfoot a great passer and Compher probably the best shooter as the only right-shooting member of the line.

“Josty is really good down low, protecting the puck, holding onto to it,” Compher said.

“They both have really good vision. For me, I’m a little bit more of a shooter sometimes.

They’re able to find me in spots where I can get scoring chances, for sure.”

Injury updates. Wilson didn’t practice Monday because of a groin/hip injury.

Defenseman Anton Lindholm, who has missed the last nine games with a broken jaw, could be cleared for Wednesday’s game against Winnipeg. Semyon Varlamov, who missed three games because of an illness last week, will start against Jets.

CSU looks for consecutive wins against CU

By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_

The Colorado State men’s basketball team will host Colorado on Saturday in this year’s installment of the hardwood showdown. In advance of the game, Collegian sports editor Colin Barnard spoke with Justin Guerriero, head sports editor of the CU Independent, to preview the matchup.

Colin Barnard: How is CU preparing for the game after being upset at home by CSU last season?

Justin Guerriero: I can tell you firsthand that the Rams’ win in Boulder last year plus that dominating second half

by CSU had Colorado absolutely seething. Head coach Tad Boyle referred to it as the worst loss under his belt. Sitting in the press area at the Coors Events Center not too far from the Colorado bench, once time started dwindling in the second half I felt like I was at a 19th century wharf. The Buffs were swearing like absolute sailors as they realized they were going to lose to their most hated rivals.

Fast forward to now, and I think the burn of that loss has healed. Much of the frus-

tration came due to the Buffs, who at the time were starting four seniors, losing in such an embarrassing fashion. I think that loss was an early indication that the 2016-17 Buffaloes would under perform. I expect a fully focused Buffaloes squad to take the court in Fort Collins on Saturday. I don’t think last year’s loss to CSU will carry over to the game this weekend.

CB: Who is CU’s biggest threat on both ends of the court?

JG: I think as of right now that honor should go to freshman guard McKinley Wright IV, who has been a major boost to the Buffaloes’ young, guard-heavy team. Wright IV leads the team with 25 assists and is astonishingly unselfish with the ball, especially for a freshman. On that same note, his basketball IQ and ability to play well with the men around him has looked sharp. Wright IV averages 15.7 points per game and was recently named the Paradise Jam Tournament MVP. The Buffs competed against Quinnipiac, Drake and Mercer, winning all three contests. Wright IV scored 21 points in the first two games and nailed a buzzer-beating

3-pointer against Quinnipiac that handed CU the win. Expect a lot of him on Saturday.

CB: Prentiss Nixon, Che Bob and J.D. Paige have all demonstrated the ability to lead CSU’s offense. How do you expect CU to defend a diverse offense?

JG: Boyle’s style of basketball stresses tight and unrepentant defense. He constantly barked at his seniors last season for being lazy on defense. The Rams have four guys averaging more than 10 points per game on the year and that certainly is an advantage. Frankly, expect them to produce. The Buffaloes have been winning games this year by less than comfortable margins. We shall see if Colorado is capable of consistently shutting down balanced teams such as the Rams, but overall, the team has gotten quality minutes from the bench thus far, which has been a regular spark to the offense.

CB: What is your prediction?

JG: I’m taking the Buffs, 8471.

Fluctuation at QB continues in most unstable seasons in Broncos history

By Nick Kosmider The Denver Post

Nov. 29--The decision was served with a generous portion of optimism.

Trevor Siemian, the third-year pro and former seventh-round pick, was going to be the starting quarterback for the Broncos in 2017. That much Vance Joseph believed he’d be able to count on in his first season as the team’s head coach.

“It’s a huge deal to name a starter at any position,” Joseph said Aug. 21. “It’s a permanent decision. Obviously, outside of injury, that’s different. But as far as Trevor being our guy, he’s our guy.”

Fast forward three months and the Broncos are making their third change at the quarterback position in 12 games, marking one of the most turbulent, unstable seasons at the position in franchise history. It’s the first time the Broncos have started more than two quarterbacks in a season since 2003, when Jake Plummer, Steve Beuerlein, Danny Kanell and Jarious Jackson made up a starting list of four quarterbacks for the first time in the team’s NFL history.

Were Chad Kelly, the Broncos’ seventh-round pick back in April, not on the injured reserve and

ineligible to play, the Broncos may be tempted to match the record in a season that has only further complicated a quarterback puzzle with pieces that have been scattered since Peyton Manning retired after lifting the Super Bowl 50 trophy.

Before 2003, you have to go back to John Elway’s rookie season in 1983 to find the last time the Broncos used three starting quarterbacks. And this is just the seventh time since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 that the Broncos have started more than two quarterbacks in the same season.

The common thread in all of those seasons: None included a playoff victory.

“That’s not good,” Joseph said.

“When you’re playing with three quarterbacks -- not because of injury -- it’s not a good thing. We have to find the right guy for our football team, and that’s where it starts in this league. All three guys have worked hard. Again, when you don’t have success at the quarterback level, it’s a lot of things.

It’s blocking and it’s throwing and catching. It’s all those things. It’s details. I can’t say it’s all of those kids’ fault. It’s a unit issue. But it starts with the quarterback.”

Siemian was benched after Denver’s seventh game, a 2919 loss at Kansas City in which

he threw three interceptions, continuing a string of turnoverprone play. Enter Brock Osweiler, who went 0-3 in three starts and threw fewer touchdowns (three) than interceptions (four). Then, in Joseph’s words, it was former firstround draft pick Paxton Lynch’s turn. But that turn, on Sunday at Oakland, lasted just three quarters before Lynch suffered a highankle sprain that could keep him out as long as four weeks.

So now it’s back to Siemian, who will start against the Dolphins at Miami on Sunday and give interim offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave his second quarterback in two weeks in his new role. And it’s another change for an offense that hasn’t produced consistent rhythm since its Week 2 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. For an offensive line that has struggled with its own rotating door at right tackle and a rookie at left tackle, and a receiving corps hampered at times by injuries and inconsistency, juggling quarterbacks has only added to the problems in a disastrous 3-8 season.

And all of the change at quarterback in the last two seasons follows a stretch in which Manning started 57 of Denver’s 64 games in the regular season from 2012-15.

Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian scrambles under pressure against the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 30, 2017.

“We have played with three this year, and it has been ups and downs with all,” Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas said of the quarterback turnover. “So we just go out and do our job as receivers and go out and run our routes and try to get open. The ball comes our way, we just make the play.”

Joseph had reason to believe, after a 2-0 start that featured some of the best play of Siemian’s brief career, that he wouldn’t be consumed in the weeks to come

by a mess at the game’s most important position. Yet, in recent weeks, he hasn’t been able to name a quarterback for anything longer than a one-game stretch. And that’s no different after the third change in five weeks.

On whether Siemian would start past the upcoming game at Miami, Joseph said: “Well, he’s going to be our quarterback Sunday moving forward here.

We’ll see.”

ART

Arts in Public Places adds 3 new exhibits

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

The Art in Public Places program in Fort Collins works on making the city more and more beautiful, from making art out of transformer boxes to placing painted pianos about town through the Bohemian Foundation. Some of the most recent additions to the public art include “Current” and “Wave Walk” by Jill MacKay, and “Harvest Sky” by Tim Upham.

“The City recognizes that art is vitally important to the quality of life in the community,” wrote Liz Good, the visual arts assistant for the City of Fort Collins, in an email to the Collegian. “Art in Public Places is intended to encourage and enhance artistic expression and appreciation, and add value to the Fort Collins community through acquiring, exhibiting and maintaining public art.”

Upham has been involved in creating public art since 1994, a year before the Art in Public Places program was established.

His artwork, “Harvest Sky,” is located in Twin Silo park near another previous piece he collaborated on, titled “Ringfall.”

“I like the sunlight going through (Harvest Sky),” Upham said. “The piece interacts with the sun, when you walk along the sidewalk, you get this stained glass look.”

The artwork is 60 feet long, 4 feet wide and 3 feet high.

The circular glass was made to withstand harsher weather conditions like hail.

Jill MacKay, an artist and jewelry maker in the Fort Collins area, has contributed to two pieces in the year of 2017, “Current” and “Wave Walk.”

“Current” is a mirror mosaic piece that is placed on what used

to be only a cement wall holding up the bridge. The mosaic now illuminates the path of cyclists and others who walk on the paved trail that goes underneath the bridge on East Mulberry Street.

“In the spring when the river is high and you stand on the trail and look at this piece, you can see the river reflected in the mirror mosaic so the whole thing comes alive with movement,” MacKay said. “This piece is alive and different every hour of every day with the changing light and surroundings.”

The piece was made at MacKay’s studio, then transported to the location. The mosaic is surrounded by large halved river rock to create a flat back for adhesion. According to MacKay, the cyclists who rode along the path while the mosaic was being put together were cheering them on.

“Wave Walk,” by MacKay, is also located in Twin Silo park by a bridge headed towards the park. The interesting aspect of this public art piece is its photo luminescent quality. Best viewed at night, the stones in the pavement glow blue to those walking on the bridge over the creek.

“MacKay worked with the Twin Silo Park Project Team to develop a concept for art at the site of this new park and its focus on the natural water feature of the creek,” Good said. “The mosaic highlights the creek play area by being located at either end of the bridge right near it.

Lyric Cinema shows support for sexual harassment victims

By Sarah Ehrlich @sarahehrlich

The Lyric Cinema has no room for sexism.

The Fort Collins-based theater decided last week to no longer carry Scene Magazine after allegations of sexual harassment against the publication’s owner surfaced on social media.

“We made the decision last week to no longer carry Scene at The Lyric unless Mike Mockler is no longer involved with the publication,” read a post from the Lyric Facebook. “In the same vein, we’ve opted out of playing the latest Woody Allen film coming out later this year.”

Members of the community came forward about witnessing

or being the victim of sexual harassment from Scene Magazine owner Mike Mockler in response to a Facebook post by Magic Cyclops. The allegations were reported in The Collegian on Nov. 29.

Woody Allen is a director with a reputation for writing sexist scripts, and the Lyric has realized it has become difficult to separate the art from the artist.

“It seemed like a no-brainer decision to cancel these things,” said Lyric cinema manager Dillon Cole. “We have known about Mike for years, and I wish we would have done something before now. As for Woody Allen, no one really cares about him here.”

Students talk fall semester triumphs, weaknesses

By Mir-Yahsar Seyedbagheri @dudesosad

The end is near for Colorado State University students.

The end of the semester, that is.

For many students, the end of the semester is replete with finals and papers. However, it is also a time for students to assess their overall experiences and achievements this fall.

“It has been really good,” said Kianna Ziemann, a sophomore nutrition and food science major. “All of my courses have gone really well together.”

Ziemann said her extracurricular life is also strong.

“I am finding my place in my social group,” Ziemann said. “I joined the outdoor club, which helped me to find friends that are interested in the same things.”

Ziemann has one goal for the new semester.

“Just to stay optimistic and stay motivated,” Ziemann said.

Katy Stockton, a sophomore philosophy major, said living

off campus has been the high point of the semester.

“It is fun to get to live with six people I got to pick,” Stockton said.

UPCOMING DATES FOR ACADEMIC YEAR 2017-18: ■ Dec. 8

Last day of classes ■ Dec. 11-15 Final exams ■ Jan. 16, 2018 Spring classes begin The downside for Stockton? Being caught for breaking Fort Collins’ U+2 rule. The rule dictates that only three unrelated persons can live together and has been a significant source of discussion recently.

However, even this setback had a positive outcome when she was able to find a duplex that was much cheaper, she said.

Some students say their

classes contributed to a relaxed vibe.

“Courses are not too bad,” said Caitlin Dinges, an undeclared freshman.

Dinges said she is taking interesting classes such as social work, sociology and interior design.

“You get to see different jobs and see what you are interested in,” Dinges said.

Others grapple with the rigors of the semester and life.

“It has been a rough semester, but I have learned a lot,” said Jessi Cope, a sophomore nutrition and food science major. “I think learning to balance schoolwork and working and having a social life has had its ups and downs.”

Cope will do an alternative break next semester and is hopeful for the experience of giving back.

Hannah Dresang is a junior fish, wildlife and conservation biology major. Dresang said classes are interesting, but rigorous.

“It has been more stressful because they are more intense,” Dresang said. “They

are more important to your major overall.”

Other factors have complicated the semester for Dresang as well including medical complications.

Alyssa Axe, a junior anthropology major, called the semester “overwhelming.”

“Everything is getting to the end and it is a little more

stressful,” Axe said.

For Axe, it has been difficult to meet every goal. She has specifically struggled to keep up with numerous projects. ”I am eager to start over and to meet all my goals.”

Best holiday drinks in FoCo

Daily Horoscope

FOOD & DINING

By Sarah Ehrlich @sarahehrlich96

A good tasting drink tends to help with the bite that colder weather brings to Colorado.

Fort Collins has a thriving food and drink culture filled with people who like to push the boundaries and end up creating flavors that encompass feeling, in this case the feeling of Christmas.

Here is a guide to just some of the drinks FoCo has to offer to keep you warm: The Crooked Cup Serving coffee by Cafe Richesse, a local Fort Collins Roastery, the Crooked Cup offers drinks suitable for anyone, coffee lover or not. Specialty lattes, teas, smoothies and hot chocolate can be enjoyed in the comfortable brick building location on West Oak street.

What: Christmas in a Cup Enjoy gingerbread chai poured over a peppermint tea bag and steamed with milk.

Barista and CSU business administration student Webb Kimmel thinks cinnamon and peppermint encompass the flavor of Christmas pretty well, but there are many more combinations out there.

“I’m pretty traditional in terms of coffee flavors,” Kimmel said. “If I were to make a drink, it would probably include classic flavors, but I would also want to try to and get the flavor of a Christmas tree, something piney, maybe.”

Alleycat Café This 24-hour café is a classic spot in Fort Collins for a variety of drinks and baked goods in a colorful setting.

Whether you come in at 2 in the morning or in the afternoon, you will always get a cozy and warm vibe in this café which is necessary on those frigid December days.

What: Apple Cider You can’t go wrong with classic apple cider. Refreshing and sweet in its own way, this hot beverage is a safe bet if you are not a fan of coffee or chocolate, which usually dominate winter drinks.

Ku Cha House of Tea With walls lined with teas and trinkets, this local Fort Collins business can up your drink game with over 150 specially made teas imported from China, Japan and India.

The knowledgeable staff will take time to show you option for your best tea experience.

What: Organic Winter Chai Tea is a staple in staying warm, and this chai does it best with its spicy cayenne flavor

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

(11/30/17). Peace comes from within. Grow and expand your inner, spiritual strength over two years. Your trail switches to different directions this winter, revealing a fertile phase for creative expression. Family fortunes rise next summer; resolve communication snafus persistently. Listen for happiness and passion. Dream impossible dreams.

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

and hint of chocolate, ginger, rosemary and cardamom.

For those who want it a little boozy, here are some options to lift your holiday spirit: Elliot’s Martini Bar Known to be “Fort Collins first craft cocktail bar,” Elliot’s puts new menu items into the hands of talented bartenders, where brainstorming and creativity is highly encouraged.

On their extensive menu, you’ll find unique concoctions with fresh and high quality ingredients. If something doesn’t suit you, a few answers about your taste preference helps the bartenders create something custom.

“It’s a very democratic process of getting drinks on the menu,” said bartender Matthew Argeroplos. “We try to make drinks based on various flavor profiles. What’s always popular doesn’t always agree with your taste buds, so we can create a drink as festive as you would like.”

What: Banana Nut Bread Desertini Features crème de banana, Frangelico, Godiva white chocolate, cinnamon and vanilla bean syrup, nutmeg and cream. Tastes like what grandma bakes, only it gets you tipsy.

CopperMuse Distillery With beer being the forefront of Fort Collins culture, CopperMuse wants to add hand crafted spirits into the works. This distillery offers 40 plus cocktails featuring house distilled rum, flavored liqueurs and infused vodkas.

CopperMuse’s head bartender Lauren Mihalko has

been developing their winter drink menu and explains that collaboration with other bartenders to make unique pairings are what makes her job so fun.

“I like big expressive flavors in cocktails,” Mihalko said. “The concept of sensory and flavor pairing and thinking of seasonally appropriate flavors is the best part of my job.”

What: The Pearsnickety Rosemary and clove vodka, simple syrup and organic pear juice make up this tasty martini. It is easy to make at home, or good to enjoy in the art deco themed tasting room of Coppermuse Distillery.

Social As one of Fort Collin’s few underground bars, Social provides a unique drinking experience with classic libations and new experimental drinks made by friendly and passionate people. The chic décor and lighting makes for a more chill evening in Old Town.

What: The Stone Wall If you want to sip on a classic, this cocktail dates all the way back to 1765.

Comprised of aged rum, apple cider, ginger beer and a dash of bitters, this cocktail gives you a taste of cold weather, without the usual creamy and sweet flavors.

With the inevitable snowfall to come our way, Fort Collins businesses have the drinks to help you through finals week and into winter break.
