CSU upset by Air Force for first time since 2011

By Colin Barnard @ColinBarnard_

The Colorado State men’s basketball team did something it had not done since 2011 Wednesday evening: lose to Air Force.

CSU defeated Air Force in 12 consecutive games entering the night as head coach Larry Eustachy looked to move into second place all-time in wins at CSU. Despite leading for nearly

30 minutes of the game, the Falcons completed the comeback upset, defeating the Rams 76-71.

Air Force’s ability to take and make 3-pointers ultimately led to the victory. The Falcons made 12-of-39 shots from beyond the arc compared to 5-of17 for CSU. Timely offensive rebounds and 3-pointers in closing minutes of the game allowed Air Force to fend off the Rams.

“They made some tough,

contested shots,” Eustachy said.

“The shots they made late, we were there. We knew how to play them, and when we played them right they didn’t score. When we played them wrong, they scored a lot.”

The icy air in Fort Collins made its way into Moby Arena for the majority of the first half as both teams failed to find a rhythm in the early going. Playing into its 3-point tendencies,

Air Force hoisted up shots from deep with reckless abandon.

The Falcons started just 1-of-16 from beyond the arc through the opening 12 minutes of action.

Regardless of their inability to find the bottom of the bucket, the Falcons kept the deficit to single digits as the Rams failed to capitalize on chances in the paint.

One thing that remained constant through the first half

was Nico Carvacho. The big man affected every facet of the game and dominated the Falcons on the glass. He nearly notched a double-double in the first half alone, registering 10 points and eight rebounds. A continuing trend, Carvacho also proved lethal as a facilitator, connecting on a crisp backdoor pass to Prentiss Nixon.

Wells-Wise looks to the semester ahead for ASCSU

By Natalia Sperry @natalia_sperry

As students return to Colorado State University following their month-long winter break, members of the Associated Students of CSU are looking at the work ahead for the spring semester. For newly sworn in student body President Michael Wells and Vice President Cole Wise, that means transitioning into their roles in the executive branch.

“Coming into this new role, we wanted to look at the key things we had looked at last semester that just didn’t really follow through and the two big ones were really transparency and community,” Wells said.

According to Wells, the executive branch hopes to achieve these goals by hosting more events, such as an arts festival to highlight creativity.

Other big ASCSU-sponsored spring semester events like mental health week, body acceptance week and the organization of the Diversity Symposium are also top priorities for Wells.

After talking to University administration, the executive branch also hopes to execute a departmental review of ASCSU. “We want to give students

more of an insight into what we do and keep the whole desk accountable so that we’re sticking to what our mission is,” Wells said.

According to Wise, whose role emphasizes the review of student fees, ASCSU also hopes to increase transparency regarding student fees.

“We want to give students more of an insight into what we do and keep the whole desk accountable so that we’re sticking to what our mission is.”

MICHAEL WELLS ASCSU PRESIDENT

“On our website we’re really working to make sure the student fees are accessible,” Wise said. “Right now, there are graphs you can see, but I want to expand that so that you can see all nineteen fee areas and their budgets.”

The ASCSU executive branch hopes to increase funding for the Board for Student Organization Funding, which is responsible for allocating financial

resources to registered student organizations for educational and cultural programming and to administer relevant provisions of Article VIII of the ASCSU Constitution, according to ASCSU’s Department of Finance. Article VIII focuses on fiscal management of student fees and internal funding within ASCSU. The new administration hopes to be able to allocate some of that funding to host more campus events such as inviting speakers, like Gina McCarthy, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency under former President Barack Obama’s administration, to the University.

According to Wells, ASCSU is also looking to update their internal bylaws and guidelines alongside University administration.

Wise also emphasized transparency between the branches of ASCSU on all legislative initiatives and goals for the semester so that the group can be more cohesive.

With this transparency in mind, Elections Manager Tyler Siri wants to update the ASCSU elections code in time for the elections later this spring.

Rather than solely focusing on internal issues, these updates to the elections code are

intended to entice more people to join ASCSU and to provide more of a fair race in the spring elections, Wells said.

The administration also emphasized two major issues that are ongoing in ASCSU: the study of U+2 and gameday operations on-campus.

Since ASCSU passed the funding for the study of U+2, the body will now work with the City of Fort Collins in order to gather the data so that students can understand what U+2 is really doing, Wise said.

“There’s no solid time frame at this point, but what I can say is that our community affairs department is really passionate about making sure that this is something that is seen through,”

Wise said.

Another priority for ASCSU following fall semester is to enhance the game day experience following the opening season of the oncampus stadium.

“As far as game day goes, we’re really looking at how to increase membership at the 12th Ram, the student tailgating lot. That’s through things like reorganizing the lot, bringing our own entertainment,” Wise said.

“We want to get student input from people that actually went to the events and incorporating that into our report.”

Republicans unveil spending bill to avoid government shutdown

By Lisa Mascaro

Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON _ House Republicans unveiled a stop-gap measure to avert a looming government shutdown, but passage is uncertain because the bill fails to include action on the Dream Act to protect young immigrants from deportation.

The bill would keep the government running past Friday’s deadline for four more weeks, through Feb. 16, but Democrats are likely to reject the measure without a fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which President Donald Trump is ending this year.

Instead, GOP leaders are relying on their majority to pass the bill through the House, and put pressure on Senate Democrats not to block it. Republicans hold only a narrow Senate majority and they must rely on Democrats to reach the 60-vote threshold to overcome a filibuster for passage.

CITY

City seeks citizen engagement in broadband internet project

By Samantha Ye @samxye4

The measure would include a mix of provisions that will likely attract some votes even as they push others away. One is a re-authorization of the Children’s Health Insurance program for six years, which is important to Democrats.

Others include a two-year repeal of Affordable Care Act taxes on medical device makers, and a tax on employees’ high-priced health benefits, the so-called Cadillac tax, that some Democrats also want to end. The GOP measure does not include disaster aid, which is important to members of both parties but has stalled in the Senate.

But even House approval was uncertain after Tuesday’s closeddoor meeting left rank-and-file lawmakers uneasy over punting the spending bill for the third time this fiscal year.

Some Republicans also want a DACA fix, and plan to oppose the bill unless it has one. Conservatives meanwhile objected to running the government on autopilot, without more spending cuts.

“We know this is going to come down to just a few Republican votes,” said Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chairman of the conservative Freedom Caucus, after the closed-door GOP meeting.

“The number of Freedom Caucus members that are undecided could make the difference whether we pass it or not.”

The bill would keep the government running past Friday’s deadline for four more weeks, through Feb. 16.

A House vote is expected Thursday.

Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

As part of the Fort Collins Broadband Project, community members can show where they would like to have access to future City fiber networks by dropping a pin on the online city map, according to the City of Fort Collins.

Participants must be registered with the OUR City website, after which they can interact with the map and ask questions about the project. The pins are solely for community engagement purposes and will not determine priority for for broadband implementation.

In the most recent Larimer County election, voters approved a ballot measure allowing the City to build out a municipal fiber network. The Fort Collins City Council has since chosen a retail model, where the City will build and operate the infrastructure as an ISP.

On Tuesday, City Council unanimously voted on a second reading to re-appropriate $1.8 million from the general fund to start the new broadband network, and amended City code to include broadband services in the City’s charter.

The City hopes to roll out the fiber network in the most efficient way possible based on installation opportunities and existing fiber locations.

Certain neighborhoods will start getting service in mid-tolate 2019. Full coverage of the City and growth management area will take until about 2022, or about three to five years.

City Broadband members recommend people take that timing into consideration when signing current or future internet service provider contracts.

Be proud of Colorado’s new police program 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.

Be proud, Coloradoans. This state has done something really good.

For police in Colorado, mental health and substance abuse problems are becoming increasingly more important.

Last week, the Colorado Department of Human Services announced that it planned to address this issue through a $16 million investment over the next three years.

This money will go to police departments across the state to help promote programs that provide access to care and de-

escalate situations when mental health is involved.

In a time where there’s often so little to be glad about, this is one moment where everyone in Colorado should take a moment to be proud of our state for this response to an escalating problem.

In Colorado, suicide rates are the sixth highest in the nation.

They also trend toward the bottom in support for behavioral health programs. This program will change that, and will also hopefully address the state studies that show nearly half of state inmates need mental health care and almost three quarters need substance abuse care.

Fort Collins actually led the way to this decision by beginning a program last fall that establishes a partnership between SummitStone Health and the police departments, so a specialist from SummitStone is available to provide mental health services when necessary.

This was modeled after a program in Loveland that has been met with success for the last two years.

With the new grant, however, the partnership possibilities across the state can reach new levels. This is already being implemented in Denver, where behavioral health experts are on staff with the police and will accompany officers responding to 911 calls where mental health is a concern. Other cities may opt for different approaches, but the goal is the same: to shift the focus away from a criminal persecution for mental health problems.

Police responding to mental health cases has long been known to be problematic. An investigative report from the Washington Post found that nearly half of fatal shootings involved a person with mental illness, and many of the calls about people with mental illness were not even about a crime – they were requesting help.

The victims’ families often stated that they called 911 for help and were met instead with violence, because of the erratic behavioral nature characteristic of mental illness. While most people were armed at the time of death, very few actually carried a gun.

AT A GLANCE ■ The Colorado Department of

More than half of the victims were killed in cities where officers had no training or support for mental health.

Although chaotic, ASCSU is beneficial Allec Brust @allecbrust

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.

Recently, Colorado State Universities political climate has been tense, to say the least.

ASCSU president Josh Silva was impeached prior to the 2017 winter recess after a semester of proceedings. As of last week, Silva has decided to appeal his impeachment-- surely a move that will continue to perpetuate a chaotic stream of events in our student government. None of it will matter on a huge scale, but there is a great deal to gain from ASCSU that is often overlooked due to the overall opinion of student government.

ASCSU is defined by variables similar to student governments across the board.

Often, the student body of a university is either oblivious to what their student government is up to, or views it as joke of an entity that never really achieves anything. This is true at CSU. Historically, students are not very serious about what student government is doing.

President of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s class of 1983, Steve Silberberg, recalls having a bag of popcorn elected as body president in one of his years as an undergraduate student.

Historically, students are not very serious about what student government is doing.

Yes, student governments are a bit arbitrary and ultimately useless in the grand scheme of things. As they should be. Having a bunch of 20-yearolds without experience in government making huge decisions would be asinine. Nobody would

expect a big group of degree-less students to sail a perfect ship.

Student governments are not in place for students to actually govern. Rather, they are in place for students to learn.

Ultimately, it does not matter whether ASCSU does anything policy-wise at all.

What matters is that members of ASCSU get to learn about democracy before graduating to the professional world. Students who are involved in ASCSU can achieve or fail without huge consequences.

ASCSU also works closely with local and state governments, as stated on the ASCSU website. So, while it may not bring huge change to the university, ASCSU provides a learning environment and networking opportunities to everyone involved.

ASCSU is equally beneficial for the observer. Students who are not involved can witness the moving parts of a governing body right on campus. At its core, ASCSU and the no more than a smaller version of our nations government--

a microcosm. Students have the ability to vote in elections, attend senate meetings, and see just how student fees are being allocated. Students can learn all about democracy from the comfort of the first floor of the LSC. To be frank, every bill and ordinance ASCSU has passed and will pass probably will not affect the life of a four year undergrad. ASCSU does provide needs to the students and has brought new initiatives to campus that help better the lives of students, such as providing funding for student media and other organizations.

These things would most likely still be around without ASCSUs help, but that is not the point.

Colorado State is a university, a learning institution that is meant to prepare us for society. CSU provides ASCSU to serve us, the student body, not the other way around. It doesn’t matter what you think of them- ASCSU is doing exactly what they are supposed to do.

Allec Brust can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

Not providing police with support and training for mental health crises is not fair to the people with mental illness in the community, and it is not fair to the officers themselves. It is not realistic to thrust an officer into a mental health crisis situation where there is a weapon involved without providing training or support to de-escalate the situation.

Academic studies have found this to be true, finding strong benefits for all parties involved when police partner with behavioral health professionals.

Colorado did something wonderful by designating funding for a program like this.

It’s sometimes hard these days to find good news when it feels like every day is a new catastrophe, but this is something that benefits everyone.

It’s a good day to live in Colorado.

CSU meatpacking facility switches to kombucha

By Ty Betts @ty_betts9

Editor’s note: This is a satire piece from the Collegian’s opinion section. Real names may be used in fictitious/semifictitious ways. Those who do not like reading editor’s notes are subject to being offended.

FORT COLLINS – After receiving pushback from the student body, Colorado State University has decided to halt plans on creating a meat harvesting facility on campus.

Instead, the facility will be focused on kombucha.

CSU professor Temple Grandin, a previous supporter of the meat facility, is excited for this change.

“The livestock industry is interesting, but there is only so much you can do with it,” Grandin said. “Kombucha is the future, and our school

should be leading the way.”

Kombucha is a fermented sweet tea that has been rapidly growing in popularity and does not require the slaughtering of animals to produce. While the previous plans were to utilize the JBS Food Innovation Center for research and demonstrations related to meat practices, increased interest in kombucha is reshaping those plans.

The animal systems that Grandin designed will no longer be used for humanely harvesting meat.

Rather, they will be utilized to harvest a “symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast,” or SCOBY: a necessary element to kombucha.

The good thing is that 100 percent of the student body is in favor of this decision.

Animal science major Justin Rodlee said that although he

was looking forward to the original facility, this one will be even better.

“I drink kombucha a lot ever since I got my Hydro Flask which keeps it cool,” Rodlee said. “I’m all for these new plans.”

CSU President Tony Frank in now referring to the the facility as the “JBS Super Food Innovation Center.” Frank said he couldn’t sit back and ignore the wishes of the students.

“We need to be a university that is resolute - one that stands firm on our commitment to the student body.” Frank said.

The facility will also be moving in a direction that provides education on the uses of kale, acai, seaweed, and regular weed.

Basketball >> from page 1 shooting, the Falcons found a rhythm and hit five of their next six 3-pointers to trim the lead to 33-31 at halftime.

The cold stretch followed CSU into the second half as the Rams endured a nearly four-minute scoring drought in the opening portion of the half. Tied at 44 with 11 minutes remaining, the Rams finally shook off the shackles. Deion James hit a pull-up jumper and, on the next possession, knocked down a 3-pointer. Following a miss from Air Force, Prentiss Nixon punctuated the 8-0 run with a 3-pointer of his own.

Despite having all the momentum in the world, CSU failed to run away with the game. With under three minutes remaining, Air Force’s Jacob Van hit a corner 3-pointer to give the Falcons their first lead since the opening minutes of the game. The Rams briefly regained the lead before losing it the next possession as Lavelle Scottie made another

3-pointer of similar fashion.

Trevor Lyons, the game’s leading scorer, made a midrange jumper two possessions later and Air Force executed its free throws in the closing minute to finish the Rams for good.

“We had them. We were up eight with less than 10 minutes to go,” Carvacho said. “(We) let them hit some 3s, let them get fouled. We didn’t take advantage of opportunities that we had and I think they took advantage of that.”

Lyons scored 22 points on 7-of-9 shooting and made all four 3-pointers he took. Van also hurt the Rams from deep, making 3-of-5 3-pointers on his way to 15 points.

Nixon paced the Rams with 18 points while dishing out seven assists. More importantly, though, the team’s leading scorer was helped off the floor, unable to put weight on his left leg after landing awkwardly on his ankle. Nixon already wore a hefty knee brace on his right knee after suffering an injury against San Diego State on Jan. 2.

“It’s swollen really bad,” Eustachy said. “He was in there on crutches after the

game crying. That’s the kind of guys we have.”

Carvacho finished with 12 points and 13 rebounds for his fourth consecutive double-double before fouling out with under two minutes to

play. Deion James joined him with 11 points and 14 rebounds.

CSU takes the floor again Saturday afternoon in a conference battle against UNLV. The game is set to tip off at 3 p.m. in Moby Arena and will

serve as the team’s annual Orange Out game.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Eustachy failing to meet CSU fans’ expectations

By Austin White @ajwrules44

Six years into the Larry Eustachy era of Colorado State men’s basketball and tension between the fans of the Rams and the head coach seem to be rising.

CSU only has three conference championships in their program’s history, and Eustachy seemed as if he could help put more trophies in the case when he was hired back in 2012.

After this season, he will be second in CSU men’s basketball history for wins as a coach.

But regular season wins are expected now, and fans want to see progression into being a Mountain West powerhouse, a team that competes for an NCAA Tournament berth every year.

CSU was blown out by 25 points or more on the road this season by Power Five conference teams in the Arkansas Razorbacks and Oregon Ducks.

Oregon previously lost at home to fellow Mountain West opponent Boise State a week prior to the Rams’ trip up to Eugene.

Losses to mid-major conference teams have been ugly as well with the Rams losing by 27 points to the Tulane Green Wave and 13 points to New Mexico State Aggies.

Coming off a season in which the Rams were one win away from winning the Mountain West tournament and qualifying for the NCAA Tournament, this season is not what fans had in mind. Head coach Larry Eustachy has not made the effort to ease the fans’ disappointment either.

Toward the beginning of the season, the 27-year coaching veteran said that he was looking forward to the 2018-19 season and that next year would be a better year. This statement is something that fans believe they have heard too many times from Eustachy who is in the midst of his sixth season at CSU. Fans have weighed in on social media about what they believe should be done with Eustachy, with one fan even stating that he plans to not attend another game until Eustachy has been let go. The majority consensus seems to be that fans would like Eustachy gone, but do not want the university to pay his steep buy-out for his contract which would be around $4 million as of right now.

Eustachy’s reliance on transfer players over developing players has also raised red flags, as this model does not bode

much confidence in fans toward building a long-lasting successful program. Currently, six of the 13 players listed on the roster are CSU original commits with four of them seeing significant playing time this season.

The structure for perennial powerhouse mid-major teams has been their reliance on senior players who have been with the program and know their coach’s system and philosophy. It seems that every March brings a new Cinderella team that is led by a senior or a couple seniors who bought into what their coach preaches and relays this message to the rest of the team.

With many transfers on the team, it seems as if CSU cannot establish consistency without having these types of upperclassmen leaders.

To Eustachy’s credit, there have been some great moments that the men’s team has provided over his tenure. The first one being that CSU qualified for the NCAA tournament in 2013 during his first year leading the team, and they won their first round matchup over the Missouri Tigers before losing to the eventual national champion Louisville Cardinals in the second round.

In the 2014-15 season, the Rams started out 14-0 and were ranked 24th nationally for two weeks. Just last year, the Rams nearly qualified for the NCAA Tournament despite having a roster that utilized only seven players.

However, these accomplishments are hard to attribute much credit towards Eustachy. Their first round win in 2013 was Eustachy’s first season, meaning pretty much all of the

players were inherited from the previous coach. Last season could be a testament to Eustachy being able to guide his team through adversity. Many people had disregarded the Rams after three of their players were suspended due to bad grades after the first semester. The team disproved the doubters despite the slim roster, however, and almost went dancing.

But proving the outside voice wrong is a much easier motivating factor than having to prove your own coach wrong. When a statement like the one Eustachy made about looking towards next year is made, it is not only hard for fans to be interested, but could also affect the desire of the players to do their best, especially any seniors.

With a checkered past that includes incidents at Iowa State and CSU, and a shaky future plan, fans appear to be done with Eustachy. Still, a large number of fans also believe in the coach and believe he needs more time with this group of players since they do have only one senior and quite a bit of young talent.

Coaching changes are difficult to overcome due to the change in culture that comes with it and fans do not want to see the young talent wasted.

For now, fans are willing to stay by Eustachy’s side, whether they like it or not, and want to see if he can bring this program to the level that programs like San Diego State have risen to in the conference. If it turns out that Eustachy cannot reach this level, a goodbye will not come with much backlash from the Rams’ supporters.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Rams fumble their way to victory in sloppy road win

By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

The winless season continues as Colorado State handed Air Force its 17th loss of the season on their trip up I-25, 40-39.

In a lost season for the young Falcons, the Rams came in overwhelming favorites to push their win total to an even dozen, with a shiny 4-1 record away from Moby Arena. A new starting lineup for the Rams, coach Ryun Williams pushed redshirt freshman Liah Davis into the front court, adding size to the starting unit with Davis being the same height as the tallest player the Falcons had to offer.

After a quick start, the Falcons cooled off for the middle portion of the first quarter, falling behind the Rams early. Keeping them in the game was the aggressive play of the Rams that caused them to fall into foul trouble, an anomaly for a usually clean Rams squad.

A staggering defense picked up the slack for a foul laden effort, as the Rams once again limited an opponent to a low field goal percentage, holding the Falcons to 25 percent in the opening period.

The fast start to the second quarter gave way to a cold spell, common to the Rams’ offense through 18 games. For the final 6:41 of the second quarter, the Rams went without a single point, allowing their lead to dwindle from 11 to three.

Ten turnovers hindered the Falcons from making a serious run at the lead, though the Rams held the lead with 13 turnovers of their own.

A rather even first half statistically, the Rams played down to their competition against the bottom dweller of the conference. The Falcons showed an energy in the opening half that was not present in the Rams, leading to multiple steals and fouls drawn due to a lack of focus on the away side. 14 of the Falcons’ 20 first-half points came off Ram turnovers.

With second half posing as the better of the two for the Rams throughout the year, the trend continued as CSU came out of the locker room a different team. Though the offense remained stagnant, the defense forced four turnovers in the first 2 minutes alone.

Senior Hanna Tvrdy forced half of them on steals by way of errant passes.

Posing as a lone bright spot on the offensive end, Davis racked up 11 points in the game, doing her damage down low and at the free throw line.

As a team, the Rams shot 17 free throws in the game, a big plus in a game full of miscues.

The final quarter saw the both teams go cold, causing the clock to tick away, a plus for a Rams team that failed to fully show up. A final quarter total of 16 points between the two teams served as the sloppiest quarter in the worst win of the Rams’ season to this point.

A trip to Las Vegas to take on UNLV will be the next stop for the Rams. With tip at 4 p.m.

Saturday, the Rams have two days to clean up their mistakes and reach a baker’s dozen in the win column.

COLLEGE

CSU Reacts: Who is CAM The Ram?

By Mir-Yashar Sysdbagheri @dudesosad

This ever-cheerful human disguised as a ram shows off dance moves to the Colorado State community, replete with high-octane energy.

You have likely seen her or him at a myriad of games and other university-related functions.

I am referring to none other than CAM The Ram. But who is the unseen person who inhabits the iconic costume?

Students have a plethora of theories.

Mo Jia, an animal science Ph.D student, thinks President Tony Frank is the one busting the moves.

“I just feel it is funny,” Jia said. “If Tony Frank says, ‘I am the guy in the costume,’ that would be interesting.”

Many students think beloved entertainers have gone incognito as CAM. “I think it is Marshawn Lynch with his sick dance moves,” said Jack Cavallaro, a junior mechanical engineering student.

For some, more controversial figures lurk beneath CAM’s costume.

“I am gonna say Donald

Trump,” said Jessica Baker, a civil engineering graduate student.

Baker was reluctant to cite the evidence, given the controversial nature of her selection. However, if true, Trump’s new motto will undoubtedly be, “Make Rams Great Again.”

So watch for the redesigned red ballcaps, fellow Rams.

Other guesses to Cam’s identity included Justin Bieber, Britney Spears circa 2007, Beyoncé and even Barack Obama.

One student claimed that students with the worst GPAs are recruited to take on CAM’s persona. Apparently getting F’s pay off.

For some, supernatural forces are at work.

FUN FACT The University’s first mascots included a dog named Peanuts and a black bear cub Josh Orellana, a junior neuroscience major, thinks Freddie Mercury’s ghost wears the iconic costume.

His proof?

“The flamboyancy and the perfect energy,” Orellana said.

That is not the only evidence.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Social activist to speak at CSU

By Nate Day @NateMDay

“He told me himself,” Orellana added.

CAM stands for Colorado Agricultural and Mechanical College, the school’s previous name.

CAM was christened CSU’s official mascot by then-President William E. Morgan in 1954. In addition to the costumed Cam, a real ram also features prominently at home football games.

Regardless of CAM’s identity, many students say his presence is a plus for the CSU community.

“I think it is fine,” said Orellana. “It energizes people at games ... I guess it helps sports teams, even though our football team is

bad.”

Others are indifferent.

“I do not think there is anything wrong with a mascot,” Baker said. “Depending on what the mascot is.”

Nevertheless, CAM will continue to appear, carrying on a tradition for new generations of Rams. Perhaps CAM’s secret will be unveiled, perhaps not. But a university is nothing without good lore. For that we can thank the masked CAM. Mir-Yashar Seyedbagheri can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

February is Black History month, and every year the Black/ African-American Cultural Center and RamEvents bring a number of speakers to discuss race relations and the like.

This year, the keynote speaker for Black History Month will be famed civil rights activist Angela Davis.

Known for her radicalism in the 1960s, Davis boasts an interesting resume, having been associated with both the Communist Party USA and the Black Panther Party, as well as being tried and acquitted for conspiracy.

Davis also worked as a professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, teaching classes surrounding feminism and African-American history among others, according to biography.com.

The event will take place at 7 p.m. on Feb. 6 in the Lory Student Center Theater, according to RamEvent’s Facebook Page.

Admission will be free, and tickets can be picked up at csutix. com. Doors will open at 6 p.m.

MUSIC

You probably missed N.E.R.D.’s most electrifying album yet

By James Wyatt @jameswill_I_am

A new N.E.R.D. album came out in 2017, proving once again that it was a year where anything could happen.

For the uninitiated, N.E.R.D. consists of legendary producer Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo, the other half of Pharell’s producing team, The Neptunes and Shay Haley.

Their last album, “Nothing,” came out in 2010.

The year is now 2018 and I’m writing about this album because there’s a good chance that you probably didn’t listen to it. In fact, I’m not sure who N.E.R.D. fans really consist of.

Aging hipsters? People who know about them because of Tyler, the Creator?

There’s no question that Pharrell and company have been a major influence in the landscape of modern hiphop and pop music. I mean, if you’re making songs for Britney Spears, then you know you’ve made it.

Jokes aside, Pharrell has been a tremendous force in the direction younger artists have taken. As mentioned above, Tyler, the Creator has been particularly outspoken about Skateboard P being his “musical father.”

I have to admit as a Pharrell fan that I sometimes worry if the artist is out-of-touch. You know, the brand of out-of-touch that people become when they accrue an insane amount of wealth and live in Hollywood.

N.E.R.D ■ The band name is an acronym

for No-one Ever Really Dies

■ The band formed in Virginia

Beach, Virginia in 1999 ■ The bank incorporates rock, funk, hip hop, R&B and pop This album has more or less alleviated some of my concerns when it comes to how “tapped

in” Pharrell is. “No One Really Dies,” has some truly “woke” moments, despite having a song with Ed Sheeran.

Pharrell is more versatile than ever as he raps, sings and croons his way through 11 tracks and takes aim at big business, the CIA and Mall of America.

The album starts with the song, “Lemon,” with its infectious bleep-blop beat and a fantastic, albeit brief, Rihanna feature. You may have heard this one on the radio, but more importantly is that Serena Williams danced to it on a private jet for a Vogue video.

Incredible.

“Deep Down Body Thurst” is the second track, and I don’t know how to feel about it. I was perplexed by its crazy, ‘80s jazzercise-esque tempo but the song kind of goes. It’s catchy, I can say that, but very different if you’re a traditional N.E.R.D. fan.

But that’s also the irony of this group because for their entire career, N.E.R.D. has made music outside the traditional

boundaries of the genres they paste together. In this way, much of the album upholds the creative spirit of Pharrell and team. Like any other N.E.R.D. album, it constantly makes you question if what you’re listening to actually works.

“Voíla,” is another highlight featuring Gucci Mane and Wale, accompanying with a pulsing, blasting beat and jelly-filled baseline lying in the undercurrent. It’s funky and fun. In the refrain, Pharrell tells the listener, “You have the power to change the course of the night,” and to “take this time to recharge.”

It’s a statement that fits nicely in the album’s theme of action and activism in perilous times. If you’re feeling tired, you’re not alone, and this album sounds like the recharge some of us really need.

The rest of the album is frenetic, wild and off the rails in a way that urges you to just go along with it. In a year when you could listen to an infinite amount of sleepy, slacker indie

bedroom producers, N.E.R.D.’s new album is refreshing in the best sense of the word.

“Lightning Fire Magic Prayer” and “Kites” stood out as immediate favorites to me. The former addresses spiritual, mythical connections as a sound clip utters the words, “mad ethnic right now.” The latter features Kendrick Lamar and M.I.A. on a beat that can only be described as “Super Mario” on coke. Listen to it and you’ll understand what I’m saying.

Oh, and the song “Rollinem 7’s,” has an André 3000 feature.

That’s all you need to know to give this album a listen.

Should you listen? Yes! Come on, try to have a little fun here folks. “No One Really Dies,” is wild, brave and just a damn good time. If you’re willing to just go with it, the album is incredibly rewarding and you will hear things you would have never imagined.

Gorehound’s Playground offers oasis for horror, sci-fi film lovers

By Sarah Ehrlich @sarahehrlich96

A new business is bringing a creepy, gory and weird type of culture to Fort Collins.

After 34 years of working as a chef in Loveland, Colorado, Jeff Abbott decided to pursue his passion for horror by creating Gorehound’s Playground, a new space for horror and sci-fi fans to geek out.

The business offers new and used DVDs to rent and buy, movie posters, games, collectibles and prints from artists across the country.

“The one movie that got me as a kid was the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” Abbott said. “Horror has always been my passion, and I’ve always wanted to open a theater and movie rental store, so that’s what started it all.”

In addition to a retail space, Gorehound’s Playground also has a theater room for weekend showings of horror and sci-fi movies with plenty of genres to suit different tastes. The showings are Thursdays and Fridays at 7 p.m., and a double feature every Saturday at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Abbott said although they are still developing parts of the store, like the theater room, reception from the community has been overwhelming.

Abbott likes to listen to his customer’s tastes to keep up with

trends in the many sub-genres of horror.

“There’s always the iconic faces of horror like Leatherface and Freddy and Jason, but I like to see what the independent filmmakers are doing as well,” Abbott said. “It’s hard to strike a balance between past and present films, but there are so many good movies from the past, and I try (to) mix it up.”

The former owner of the now-closed Village Vidiot, Scott Shepherd, has taken the position as “resident game expert” at Gorehound’s Playground and welcomes people to come inside, sit down and learn a new game with friends.

“Anytime you can have a place to sit and hang out, especially when it’s cold, (this) is a good place to go,” Shepherd said.

Movie fans may agree the genre of horror has become a little predictable, and some may find it hard to find a plot that is fresh.

Abbott experiences this and looks towards independent filmmakers for those special and spooky plot twists.

“You’ll get a jump-scare out of me occasionally. It’s hard for me to emotionally engage with a movie, but it’s been easy with the independent people,” Abbott said. “I’ve met some people doing great work like Midnight West Productions out of Cheyenne, Richard Taylor from Denver and the Soska sisters who are based in Canada.”

Apparel and merchandising student Kaitlyn Bentivegna is a fan of horror who has experienced Gorehound’s Playground and seemed delighted with the knowledge of the staff, the cozy and clean theater room and her purchase of a “Heathers” movie poster.

“I really like horror, because I like feeling on edge, and all you can do is sit, watch and let it happen,” Bentivegna said. “Movies with no supernatural or scientific factors are really terrifying, because they depict realistic situations and you come out of it thinking, ‘Oh my God, what if this ever happened to me?’”

The future of Gorehound’s Playground seems bright, as Abbott hopes to start up a film festival with the help from community members with experience in running festivals.
