Student veteran trains for ‘American Ninja Warrior’

By Austin Fleskes @austinfleskes07

Colorado State track & field member, former United States Marine and competitor on NBC’s “American Ninja Warrior” Dustin Fishman is continuing his training for Season 10 of the competition.

Fishman first came to CSU’s campus to film himself pole vaulting for an upcoming season of “American Ninja Warrior.”

Colorado State’s pole vaulting team took him on right then.

Originally from Frederick, Maryland, Fishman officially

moved to Fort Collins this past July.

“The area, the school, just the environment brought me out here,” Fishman said.

Fishman still attends CSU, but is inactive this semester.

One day while doing a pole vault, Fishman took off and his hamstring popped.

“That was pretty much it,” Fishman said. “Obviously it hurt.

I tried to walk it off, and got about 20 feet until all the blood started rushing to that part, and I just got really light headed and they had to come out with a trainer.”

After this injury, Fishman was unable to compete with the team.

Before attending CSU and eventually becoming a member on “ANW,” Fishman joined the United States Marine Corps.

Fishman said that he decided to join the Marines when he was around 10 years old while at a summer camp in which he heard from the different sections of the United States Military.

“When the marines talked to us I was like ‘yep, that’s it. I want to be the best, and they sound like they’re the best’” Fishman said.

“I decided right then and there to

join.”

Fishman joined right out of high school in 2009 when he was 18 years old. He spent four years, four months and four days on active duty and the rest of his time on inactive reserves. He moved all around the United States and was deployed to both Afghanistan and Tunis Tunisia, in Northern Africa.

“It was a lot of fun,” Fishman said. “There was a lot of down time, bursts of excitement.”

Fishman got out of the Marines to explore new opportunities, including getting married to his wife Jen Fishman

in July of 2017.

“He is one of those people that when he puts his mind to something he never gives up,” Jen Fishman said, adding that he helps push her out of her comfort zone.

Since his time in the Marines, he has worked in several job positions, including an electrician, a private security guard, an armored truck driver, a club bouncer and a private dog trainer.

Fishman is currently trying to join the Larimer County Police Department.

Women and Gender Advocacy Center offers new services

By Samantha Ye @samxye4

For survivors of interpersonal violence, forming strong support systems can be a critical tool for coping with and recovering from trauma, according to the Women and Gender Advocacy Center.

As such, the WGAC created two new workshops for the 20172018 school year, to offer three different group options as part of their comprehensive services: the general Support Group, the Secondary Survivors Workshop and The Body and The Mind group. Secondary Survivors Workshop and The Body and The Mind group are the two new offerings this year.

Groups are open to Colorado State University students of all genders, and participation is strictly confidential so members can expect to remain anonymous.

Support Group The Support Group, held every Friday, 3:30-4:45 p.m. in Student Services Room 112, is open to any survivors of interpersonal violence such as sexual assault, stalking and/or relationship violence.

As of this school year, the group is now open to students of all genders, as it was previously limited to female-identifying students.

Survivors can share their stories and advice during the weekly discussions, as well as make new friends. Unlike a therapy group which focuses strictly on recovery, the support group encourages members to form connections.

“Survivors can find it a struggle to talk or open up to those without the experiences of interpersonal violence,” said Casey Malsam, assistant director of victim services for the WGAC. “This group is a chance for survivors to find people with common experiences.”

Each session is facilitated by two WGAC victim advocates who provide conversation guidance when appropriate. Otherwise, there are no guidelines or strict topics of discussion.

A short 20-30 minute intake session with an advocate is required before joining the group. Afterwards, members can drop-in whenever they feel like.

“Sometimes we won’t see a member for several months, but they might come in if they have a bad week,” Malsam said.

Secondary Survivors Workshop The three-hour Secondary Survivors Workshop provides loved ones and supporters of primary survivors of genderbased violence a chance to connect with other secondary

survivors and learn about the many impacts of trauma.

The first workshops were hosted last semester after the WGAC recognized there was no group for secondary survivors.

“People need support even if they are supporters,” Malsam said. “Group support is a big piece for primary survivors, so we wanted to provide that for secondary survivors as well.”

Secondary survivors may experience vicarious trauma if someone they care deeply about experienced trauma. Their trauma can include: additional anxiety, guilt and moments of hypervigilance where they overwhelmingly notice every sensory detail around them.

The workshop covers topics including how vicarious trauma affects the brain and support systems, and how to support primary survivors. It also functions similarly to the primary survivor support group in that it connects secondary survivors with those they may share experiences with, according to Malsam.

The next workshop is scheduled for April. The class size caps at 12 people, but there is still space for those who wish to sign up.

The Body and The Mind The eight-week course is designed to teach survivors of interpersonal violence how trauma, stress and depression manifest in their bodies as well as how to mindfully address those issues.

“The goal is to help survivors build the skills they need to deal with physical trauma and bring their bodies back to equilibrium,” Malsam said.

Created last semester, the group is a collaboration between the WGAC and the Counseling Center.

Every lesson includes exercises in yoga, breathwork or meditation followed by time for group processing, according to Jessica Morneault, program coordinator and the advocate coleading the group this semester.

People of any physical ability level are encouraged to join, as exercises can be adjusted as needed.

The group meets every Wednesday from 12-1 p.m. starting Feb. 21.

Those who wish to join are advised to contact either WGAC or Morneault.

A short intake session with an advisor is required before attending, and the WGAC asks that attendees commit to coming for the full eight weeks in order to complete the entire curriculum.

Health Network, School of Music, Theater and Dance ask for fee increases

By Charlotte Lang @ChartrickWrites

The Student Fee Review Board met early Monday evening to discuss fee proposals from the Colorado State University Health Network and the School of Music, Theatre and Dance.

The proposals came from Anne Hudgens, executive director of the CSU Health Network, Dan Globe, Director of the SMTD, Sheryl Highsmith, Budget Director, and Mike Solo, Creative Director of SMTD. Hudgens reviewed the finances of the Student Counseling Services and medical budget.

SFRB members found the increased engagement

and revenue for the Student Counseling Services hopeful and reassuring.

While Hudgens claimed that having both establishments as one administrative unit is more cost-effective, the Health Network made a proposal for a 2.94 percent increase in fees.

This would amount to $1.38 increase and would go to staff salaries and benefits.

The Student Counseling Services relies on an academic year staff in order to fulfill the increased student demand as the school year progresses.

“We’re asking only for the mandatory costs,” Hudgens said in reference to the counseling services.

CAMPUS

There was no request for a medical budget increase. In fact, the expectation for insurance at CSU has led to greater revenue and reduced pressure on student fees.

“The pressure on the student fee was unsustainable so what the University wanted to do was to reduce the pressure of the student fees,” Hudgens said.

“This will be the fourth year that we have not asked for a fee increase.”

Hudgens said the medical faction of the Health Network is in no need of student fees in order to maintain the student health services.

Goble, Highsmith and Solo proposed an increase in fees for

mandatory class-related funds and minimum wage for the SMTD. “We have roughly 600 majors, including graduate programs at the (University Center for the Arts),” Goble said when asked about the programs the UCA funded. “It funds staff salaries, student workers, hourly and work-study salaries.”

The UCA also hosts roughly 250 free events over the year for students.

SFRB used the time to ask about marketing plans and the ratio of students to outside audience members.

Solo answered questions about the marketing timeline, focusing on the center’s digital

magazine, The Green Room, and the opportunities that arise during Ram Welcome and UCA events.

As for the student ratios, much of it depended on event content, but according to Solo, there has been a 40 percent increase in student attendance as a result of the UCA not charging students for event tickets.

SFRB is expected to vote on the proposals from the Health Network and the SMTD at their meeting next week, and they will hear proposals from Ram Ride and Off-Campus Life.

Former EPA Administrator to ASCSU aims to increase transparency speak for Global Engagement

By Audrey Weiss @Audkward

By Yixuan Xie @YixuanXie1

Gina McCarthy, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency for the Obama Administration, will speak in the Main Ballroom of the Lory Student Center from 6-7:30 p.m.

Wednesday, Feb. 28.

McCarthy will be a distinguished speaker for Global Engagement Lecture Series hosted by Office of International Programs at Colorado State University, addressing topics of sustainability, world health and climate change.

Shauna DeLuca, assistant director of Global Co-Curricular Initiatives for the Office of International Programs, said it is imperative for CSU as a worldclass, global university to engage with prominent leaders from around the world.

“By bringing the world to CSU, we can create a community that is better informed and more prepared to address the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century,” DeLuca wrote in an email to the Collegian.

McCarthy has been a leading advocate for common sense strategies to protect public health and the environment for more than thirty years.

As the head of EPA from 2013-2017, she led the progress to achieve the Obama administration’s public health and environmental protection goals and Climate Action Plan, according to the Office of International Programs. In 2015, McCarthy signed the Clean Power Plan, which set the first-ever national standards for reducing

carbon emissions from existing power plants, underscoring the country’s commitment to domestic climate action and spurring international efforts that helped secure the Paris Climate Agreement.

In addition to being EPA administrator, McCarthy currently serves as a senior fellow at the Institute of Politics at Harvard University and as a Richard L. and Ronay A. Menschel senior leadership fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

DeLuca wrote that hosting the event will add tremendous value to faculty, students and community at CSU. “CSU is home to worldrenowned leaders in climate change, sustainability and environmental health,” DeLuca wrote. “Research in these areas touches all seven colleges at the university.”

Additional support for the event has been provided by the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, Residence Life, Women in Natural Sciences, First National Bank, Vice President for University Operations, Associated Students of CSU, Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences, KUNC, Colorado School of Public Health at CSU, the President’s Sustainability Commission and the School of Global Environmental Sustainability.

The event is free and open to the public, but tickets are required.

Tickets are available at the Lory Student Center box office or online at csutix.com.

The Associate Students of Colorado State University is currently working towards enhancing their transparency with students, said Michael Wells, the student body president.

At a recent Board of Governors meeting, Wells discussed the importance of transparency.

“Transparency is something that is important to me and I know it’s important to the students,” Wells said in an interview with the Collegian.

“It’s a difficult thing that we know we can do better on, but we are continuing to go down that path, and I think we are making good strides to be more transparent for the students.”

Wells said he values transparency because it abides by basic ethical principles, and he thinks that without transparency, it is impossible to be held accountable.

One of the ways in which Wells said he plans to increase ASCSU’s transparency is by reaching out to students in a variety of ways. “(We’re) multiplying the different avenues of what would be able to hit students, and finding those avenues to tell students about (things) they actually care about,” Wells said.

ASCSU published an article in the Collegian to reach out to students. In addition, they have looked into email blasts but are hoping to find a better medium for communication.

Wells said the main focus for now is making sure the

online records are up to date.

Zachary Vaishampayan, the ASCSU parliamentarian, works to maintain the billbook as well as the public records.

“I handle most of the records requests,” Vaishampayan said.

“A large part of that is just trying to make sure documents are available ahead of time.

Other than that, part of my job is just trying to maintain official documents.”

Vaishampayan said it is important to maintain and update documents both online and available through public records request. But, he said he thinks that the most important aspect of his job is translating information in a way that the general public can understand it.

“It’s one thing to put it on the records site,” Vaishampyan said. “But, making sure the students actually understand things is really the most important part.”

According to Vaishampayan, the information on the ASCSU records website

is up to date, give or take two weeks. If the information is not available online or students have a special request, it can either be found online or through a records request, but all of the records are held in the Morgan Library.

“What’s great about these websites (is that) there is a certain structure that allows students from year to year to be able to jump in,” Wells said.

Wells said he hopes to reach a point in which all of the information shared between ASCSU is available to students.

He said he thinks the first step in setting a precedent for transparency is by updating the website.

“It helps me to say, ‘I can do better to be transparent and the organization can do better to be transparent,’” Wells said.

“And, with that transparency, we can get a lot more feedback, openness and accountability.”

How CSU decides on snow days

By Stuart Smith @notstuartsmith

Editor’s Note: This article was originally published in the Collegian on Dec. 6, 2016.

As cold fronts move into Fort Collins and bring snow, Colorado State University will make calls on whether to hold class.

In the event of severe weather, a closure will be announced through social media, email, text, the CSU Status Line at 970-491-7669 and posted on the Collegian’s website.

In the case of overnight storms, the Public Safety Team tries to make a decision by 5:30 a.m.

However, it is unlikely that CSU students will get much time off as a result of the weather this season. The University has only had three snow days since 2009, with the most recent on Feb. 3, 2016.

The University does have some guidelines for when it shuts down, though according to policy, it aims “to remain open when possible, in consideration of tuition already paid by students and the University’s mission.”

In the case of a possible snow day, the Public Safety Team collects information and then makes a recommendation to the President based on their decision, according to a November CSU press release.

The Public Safety Team takes the following factors into consideration:

S

• Whether local public schools are closed. However, the safety of K-12 students is held to a different standard than that of college students and employees.

• If City of Fort Collins and Larimer County offices are still operating, including the bus system.

• Recommendations of City of Fort Collins Emergency Management.

• Road conditions to and from campus.

• Road conditions on campus.

• Assessments by the CSU Police Department and CSU Facilities Management on the safety of the campus and its features.

• Individual members of the Public Safety Team’s opinions based on surveying the city in the early morning.

• The University says that even if it does not call for a snow day, “Individual students or employees who cannot travel safely should use sound judgment and make arrangements with their professors and supervisors.”

Regardless of a school closure, there are several safety measures that should be taken for extreme cold weather, according to the American Red Cross: Layer up: Wear layers of lightweight clothing to stay warm. Gloves and a hat will help prevent losing your body heat Don’t forget your pets: Bring pets indoors. If they can’t

come inside, make sure they have enough shelter to keep them warm and that they can get to unfrozen water Remember the three feet rule: If you are using a space heater, place it on a level, hard surface and keep anything flammable at least three feet away – things such as paper, clothing, bedding, curtains or rugs.

Don’t catch fire: If you are using a fireplace, use a glass or metal fire screen large enough to catch sparks and rolling logs. Turn off space heaters and make sure fireplace embers are out before leaving the room or going to bed.

Protect your pipes: Run water, even at a trickle, to help prevent your pipes from freezing. Open the kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing.

Set the thermostat at the same temperature: Your heating bill may be a little higher, but you could avoid a more costly repair job if your pipes freeze and burst.

Use generators outside: Never operate a generator inside the home, including in the basement or garage. Also, do not hook a generator up to the home’s wiring. The safest thing to do is to connect the equipment you want to power directly to the outlets on the generator.

Parkland school shooter makes first court appearence

By David Ovalle & Sarah Blaskey Miami Herald

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Shackled and wearing a red jump suit, school shooter Nikolas Cruz made his first live appearance in a Broward County circuit court five days after he walked into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High and fatally shot 17 people.

Cruz, a slightly built teen, did not say anything and never looked up at the crowd or the judge. He kept his head and eyes downcast, even as his defense attorney whispered to him. It was a tense atmosphere — Cruz was surrounded by Broward Sheriff’s deputies as journalists and lawyers watched from the gallery.

He is facing 17 counts of premeditated murder and could face the death penalty.

The Broward County Public Defender’s Office, which is representing Cruz, has said he will admit guilt if prosecutors will waive execution as punishment.

After his arrest last week, Cruz made a first court appearance via closed-circuit television from a detention facility. He was held with no bond.

Cruz appeared in court before another hearing in which a judge ordered the release of 22 pages of documents relating to a state family welfare investigation into the teen’s mental health woes. The Florida Department of Children & Families had petitioned for the release of the documents.

The DCF case, opened Sept.

28, 2016, classified Cruz as a “vulnerable adult” victim with

multiple mental health concerns, including severe depression, ADHD and autism — he reportedly cut himself and wanted to buy a gun after a breakup with a girlfriend. The case was closed when investigators determined Cruz was getting proper mental health treatment.

“There were multiple red flags that were missed,” said Broward Chief Assistant Public Defender Gordon Weeks, whose office is representing Cruz. He said he hoped the documents would continue to demonstrate “that there was a systematic break.”

As for Cruz’s hearing before a criminal court judge, the hearing revolved around a court document Cruz’s attorneys filed under seal late Friday before another judge.

The Broward County Public Defender’s Office on Monday morning asked that the motion filed with the court be “stricken” from the record because what the office was seeking “was moot.”

Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer, at an afternoon hearing, ruled that the motion dealt with a “limited” issue involving the defense team’s “access” to their client.

Weekes, Broward’s chief assistant public defender, refused to speak about the defense’s court filings or his client. He said Monday’s court hearing was not originally supposed to take place.

“Our goal is to give the community an opportunity to grieve,” Weekes said.

Colorado’s ‘raw milk’ trend poses health risks 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.

Acknowledging milk pasteurization as a key public health advancement, Colorado was one of many states to outlaw sale of raw milk – that is, milk straight from the cow without undergoing treatment.

However, a legal loophole in Colorado has enabled some people to legally drink it. The CDC considers raw milk one of the riskiest food trends, as it is very often associated with harmful bacterial infections like E. coli, salmonella, and campylobacter.

It surprised no one when a Colorado outbreak of drugresistant campylobacter was linked to raw milk, all obtained legally through this loophole.

The loophole allows people who are members of a herd-share program, which is unregulated, to consume raw milk from those herds and to share it amongst themselves.

The outbreak happened in 2016, but just last week the CDC shared a report conclusively proving that the raw milk was to blame. The situation left public health officials’ hands tied. “(The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment) did not close the dairy or stop distribution of its milk because without pasteurization, CDPHE could not create standards for safely reopening the dairy,” investigators wrote in a CDC report.

All CDPHE could do was notify the members of the herdshare about the problem and urge them to discard the raw milk, as well as put out reminders that reselling milk to nonshareholders is illegal. Overall, as many as 17 people became sick.

There were no deaths, but the case raised public health alarms because the strain of bacteria was resistant to the antibiotics

usually used to treat it.

The new CDC report brings up a good conversation, especially in the wake of the raw water trend coming out of California. People like the idea of things that are straight from the source with no outside influences, because they have forgotten why we have those outside influences to begin with.

Pasteurization of milk, much like water filtration, is there to keep diseases out, and it has no significant impact on nutritional value.

Pasteurization is the process of heating milk to a specific temperature to kill harmful bacteria. It does not kill nonharmful bacteria, which is why pasteurized milk can still go bad. Some advocates for raw milk say that pasteurized milk causes allergic reactions, but that isn’t true. Allergy doesn’t discriminate based on the presence of harmful bacteria. If a person is allergic to dairy, they’re going to have an allergic reaction regardless of the pasteurization.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that raw milk is not safe.

One company, Udder Milk, has

been linked to several suspected cases of contamination with brucellosis. A long-term study by the CDC found that raw dairy products are 150 times more likely to cause illness than pasteurized counterparts.

Pasteurization has been practiced since it invention in 1864, and it is a significant public health accomplishment.

But now, a move toward untreated products has set this advancement back. A study in Michigan found that part of the reason people trend toward raw products isn’t that they’ve never heard of the negative health effects – it’s that they don’t trust public health officials to give them good advice on food safety.

This isn’t too surprising, because advocates of these products sow distrust in public health agencies. It does, however, provide an idea of where to go from here.

Yes, lawmakers in Colorado need to take a long, hard look at this loophole and see what they can do about solving it. But more immediately than that, CDPHE and other public health agencies should assess the levels of trust

CSU should consider an AUCC coding class Josh Silva @jsflix

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.

If you are a current Colorado State University college student or a graduate, chances are you were required to complete some sort of general core curriculum courses, even if you previously earned some sort of AP/IB credit in high school.

At Colorado State University, the mission of these All University Core Curriculum courses is to ensure all CSU students, “share a learning experience in common.” Universities serve various functions, among them to build character and prepare individuals with a diverse set of skills for successful careers.

CSU currently offers a wide variety of subjects in the AUCC designed to fulfill

these functions, but even though technology plays an increasingly important role in our lives, courses to bolster students’ technological skills are sparse. The University does not currently include any sort of classes in the AUCC for computer science or learning code.

An innovative way for the University to simultaneously address this issue and give its students a competitive advantage against other universities would be for CSU to offer a AUCC course in learning to code. The importance of implementing such courses in common academic curriculums has been mentioned by prominent politicians across the political spectrum Regardless of major, coding is a valuable tool because it, ““doesn’t restrict you to a career in tech: it enhances the career, skills, or interests you already have,” according to Forbes Magazine.

CSU would be unique in implementing AUCC courses designed to teach students code, as neither the University of Denver nor the University of Colorado Boulder, according to their websites, offer such

courses in their common curriculum. While DU and DeVry University offer “boot camps” for learning to code, both are expensive and consist of a large package of courses.

While CSU could also opt for creating a “boot camp” offering coding and computer science, classes as AUCC

courses instead would provide students with the structure and accountability that traditional classes provide.

It is impractical to expect an instructor to teach students everything they need to know about code in a single class, but offering classes as an AUCC would allow students to explore and learn as much as they are comfortable and interested in.

Before fully committing, the University could gauge demand for such a course by expanding on its partnership with the Poudre River Public Library District to provide

a workshop for learning code that could count for AUCC credit, similar to the DevCamp offered by the Denver Public Library. Doing so would provide an in-person opportunity for students and residents of northern Colorado to learn code without having to commute to Denver.

Many students don’t know that besides taking on-campus and standard online courses, they can take free online courses CSU offers through both the Canvas network and FutureLearn, a British digital education platform. If CSU was unsure about creating an AUCC for learning code, it could also gauge interest through this format before launching a full-fledged course.

Ultimately, students attend college to learn and grow. Offering a class that teaches code, an increasingly useful and essential skill, as part of its core curriculum would allow CSU to continue innovating and distinguish itself from the pack in the increasingly cutthroat field of higher education.

the community has in them, and work to raise that level. If public health organizations don’t inspire public trust, then the messages they send out won’t help anyone.

There is no scientific evidence that raw milk provides anything pasteurized milk doesn’t provide. But if the public doesn’t trust the agencies giving them this information, the information won’t do its job.

I’m getting my master’s in public health, and I know that public health agencies at their core have the interest of the public at heart. A public health organization is not lying to or trying to trick the public when they give advice like not drinking untreated water or unpasteurized milk.

CDPHE should take the milk issue and use it as a mobilizer to investigate people’s trust in public health and address that issue. No matter how scientifically sound their advice may be, if people don’t trust them, then it’s useless.

SOFTBALL

Rams build on best start since 1997 with three more victories

By Mack Beaulieu @Macknz_james

After a promising opening weekend that saw them start 4-0, the Colorado State softball team had another strong stretch in Tucson, Az. last weekend to extend their record to 7-1 despite a loss to the No. 12 University of Arizona.

HILLENBRAND INVITATIONAL ■ Friday, Feb. 16 vs. Montana: Win,

3-1 ■ Saturday, Feb. 17 vs. Bryant: Win, 9-4 ■ Saturday, Feb. 17 vs. Troy: Win, 5-0 ■ Sunday, Feb. 18 at No. 12 Arizona: Loss, 0-3

Originally scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 15, the game against Arizona was postponed until Sunday due to rain. The Rams lost 3-0 in what turned out to be a pitchers duel, but still took three wins from the weekend.

“It was mutual for both

teams that we wanted to get that game played,” coach Jen Fisher said. “We were definitely happy and enthusiastic to see how we matched up.”

CSU started the weekend on Friday against the University of Montana (1-6). Despite having one of their worst offensive games of the young season, the Rams pulled out a 3-1 victory behind strong pitching and a new bat.

Lauren Buchanan started off the scoring in the third, after the Rams bunted to get Sarah Muzik into scoring position, by driving a run batted in single up the middle.

The winning runs came courtesy of Tara Shadowen, playing her first collegiate game.

Shadowen made good on the words of her teammate, as the freshman provided all the pop CSU would need in their eventual 3-1 win. The outfielder blasted a homer to centerfield to drive in senior Hannah McCorkhill, who highlighted situational hitting and the younger Rams as an important factor this season. Shadowen made a case for more playing time this weekend.

“She’s been really dialed in in

VOLLEYBALL

practice,” Fisher said. “ We have some really good young players and she hadn’t gotten a chance before…We had to get her out there and get her comfortable with where she’s at, but she definitely belongs here.”

Bridgette Hutton continued her strong start to the season as she earned her third win of the season with a five-inning, one-run, four-strikeout performance. The save went to education graduate student Larisa Petakoff, her first of the season.

After having a game against the University of Louisiana-Monroe cancelled on Friday, the Rams faced off with Bryant University (0-2) and the University of Troy (5-3) on Saturday.

The Rams’ slow offensive weekend didn’t continue on Saturday as they scored in the first inning against Bryant and never looked back, securing two victories on the day.

Bryant pitcher Colby Norris struggled with her control, yielding two runs on bases-loaded hit by pitches. Buchanan hit a sacrifice fly to make it 3-0. CSU’s Kaylynn Pierce gave up three runs

in the third as Bryant came back to tie it 3-3, but from there it was all CSU bats and pitcher Alison Petty, who advanced to 3-0 on the season.

Cori Gamboa and Shadowen provided the difference as they combined for two home runs and five RBIs to defeat Bryant 9-4.

In the second game of the day, Hutton got her fourth win of the season as she threw a complete game three-hitter and CSU won 5-0. Gamboa went 3-for-4 with two RBIs to score the first and fifth runs against Troy. Gamboa is now hitting .375 with three home runs and seven RBIs. The Rams’ bats went cold in the final game of the weekend as Arizona’s Taylor McQuillen gave the Wildcats a 3-0 victory with a 12-strikeout performance that spoiled back-to-back complete games for Hutton, who allowed three runs over six innings. The Rams couldn’t get anything going as McQuillen took a perfect game into the top of the sixth.

“She was really moving the ball well and hitting her spots,” Fisher said. “ We just had a difficult time squaring it up ... The experience of

it, though, is going to help us. She was really in command and in the zone all day.”

After a three up, three down first inning, Hutton managed her way out of jams in the second and third innings. The bases were loaded in the fourth when Arizona’s Tamara Statman doubled down the right field line to bring in the only runs that the Wildcats would end up needing.

“We felt she was handling a very potent lineup very well,” Fisher said about leaving Hutton in for her second consecutive complete game.

Hutton showed poise, calmed down and only allowed one run for the rest of the game, but it wasn’t enough as the Rams’ offense did just enough to avoid the Arizona record books on Sunday. In the sixth, Shadowen broke up the perfect game with a blooping single.

The Rams will get over a week off to rest as they host the University of Northern Colorado in their home opener on Feb. 27.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Rams announce Jase Herl, basketball coaches 2018 spring schedule interact with students in LSC

By Austin White @ajwrules44

There is no offseason when it comes to college athletics and the Colorado State volleyball team made that clear Friday, Feb. 16. They announced their spring schedule that includes matchups with instate rivals and a couple NCAA tournament teams from the fall season.

Competition for the Rams will begin after spring break on March 24 when they travel to Greeley. to face the Northern Colorado Bears. CSU played the Bears in the fall season and won with a straight-set victory.

The next stop will be in Kansas with matchups against Wichita State and Kansas, two teams that joined CSU in the 2017 NCAA tournament last fall. The Shockers have been a powerhouse in the volleyball world and came to Fort Collins two seasons ago and helped give CSU one of their highestattended matches ever.

These matches will both take place on March 31, but the time is still yet to be announced.

Spring will end with two different kinds of homecomings. The first will be on April 7 when the Rams head to Bayfield. to take on Northern Arizona. Bayfield is the hometown of current Rams Kirstie Hillyer and Maddi Foutz. These two have both described how camps put on by head coach Tom Hilbert in their hometown helped lead to their decision to become Rams.

A week later, the Rams will return to play in Fort Collins against the rival Colorado Buffaloes, who reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament in the fall. CU also came into Fort Collins and defeated the Rams in a five-set thriller in 2017 despite CSU taking the first two sets. The loss was the first time the Rams had lost at home to an in-state opponent under Hilbert.

The match against the Bears will start at 10:30 a.m. and the fans can catch the matchup with CU at 10 a.m. on April 14.

In an effort to drum up support for the men’s basketball program, interim head coach Jase Herl and other members of the staff handed out flyers in the Lory Student Center Monday afternoon encouraging students to attend the game against Boise State on Wednesday, Feb. 21.

Herl was joined by assistant coach Willie Glover and director of player development Pierce Hornung on the first level of the LSC. Hornung said that they simply wanted to build support for their players.

Earlier in the day, center Nico Carvacho and guards Prentiss Nixon and Kris Martin also handed out flyers.

The hands-on approach with the student body from the coaches is something Herl has exhibited in his brief time as interim head coach. Alongside center Nico Carvacho, Herl and Hornung met with Ram Ruckus last week to discuss initiatives to increase student attendance at home games.

The 30-year-old Herl has also continued his activity on Twitter,

interacting with and supporting his players. Following his first game as head coach on Feb. 10 against San Jose State, players spoke to the relationship they have with Herl.

“He’s just for us. We have a really good relationship off the court with him,” Carvacho said. “I think all of us do. It just helps on the court. We went out there and played for him and he

coached for us.”

The Rams are still in the midst of a climate assessment of the men’s basketball program and head coach Larry Eustachy.

Eustachy was placed on leave Feb. 3, joined by associate head coach Steve Barnes on Feb. 10.

Herl was officially named the interim head coach on Feb. 12.

TRACK & FIELD

Rams shine in last meet before MW Championships

By Mamadou Balde @mamadoubalde62

In its last stop before the Mountain West Championships, Colorado State track & field tuned up at the Air Force Open at USAF Academy in Colorado Springs last Friday.

In the men’s 60-meters, E’Lias Sutton led the Rams with a time of 6.99. Sutton’s time earned him a fourth-place finish. Nathan Gish had the second-fastest time for the Rams, crossing the finish line at 7.164. Gish’s time was just enough for seventh place. Gish was followed by Will Domier, who placed eighth. Domier’s time (7.170) was just six milliseconds behind his teammate.

Gish and Domier also competed in the 200 meters where they placed second and sixth, respectively. Gish finished with a time of 22.21 while Domier recorded a 22.72.

Blake Yount torched the competition in the 800-meters with a first-place finish. Yount’s time of 1:52 was more than one second faster than the next collegiate runner. Yount, an Aurora native, is a transfer student who last competed at the University of Oklahoma before

returning to his home state of Colorado.

“We are very excited to add the Colorado high school 800-meters record holder to our roster,” coach Art Siemers said. “Blake will fill a huge need for the Rams in the 800 and his experience in the Big 12 will be a valuable asset.”

In the women’s 60-meters, London Evans led all collegiate runners with a time of 7.88. Evans’ time earned her second place in the event.

The Rams also secured the top two collegiate times in the women’s 200-meters. Katie Werman finished second with a time of 25.75. Also competing in the 200 was Evans who placed third with a time of 26.19. Michelle Gould and Krista Mayer led the Rams in the women’s 400-meters, finishing second and third, respectively.

The Rams’ next stop is the Mountain West Championships in Albuquerque, N.M. where they will try to repeat as Mountain West Champions. The MW Championships will take place from Feb. 22-24.

Activist talks being Black, Red Whistle Brigade to accept submissions undocumented at CSU for ‘Rebel, Empower, Dismantle’ zine

By Jarrae Newell @Jarrae_Newell

There has always been trauma with being Black in America, so what does it mean to be at the intersection of Black and undocumented?

Jonathan Jayes-Green, co-founder and network coordinator of Undocublack Network, came to Colorado State University to discuss that question on Feb. 15.

Identifying as Black and undocumented himself, JayesGreen created an environment that brought his first-hand experiences, while also creating a more intimate conversation among the small audience.

Before starting his presentation, those in attendance were asked to introduce themselves by sharing their name, if they were a student or faculty member, the purpose of being at the event, as well as their super power. This was meant to recognize that everyone in the room has a voice, as well as acknowledge that everyone has something that they are special at, which Jayes-Green encouraged the audience tap into.

Ahead of sharing his own story and narrative, JayesGreen showed the audience “Shariece, and Toboree DACA Story” on Youtube, which included stories different than his own but touched on common challenges most undocumented people face, such as being disappointed by the “American Dream.”

He also recalled feeling inadequate at times as a result of being undocumented.

He said that when people are in the position of being undocumented, sometimes

they may feel inadequate, however, this is rarely the case. Hence, Jayes-Green said it is crucial to make sure all voices are amplified, along with creating a safe space where everyone can feel comfortable with voicing their thoughts and opinions.

Knowing and understanding privilege, as well as parts of identity that may be more oppressed, is crucial, Jayes-Green said.

“Part of the problem is people don’t see the people at the intersection,” Jayes-Green said.

Furthermore, Jayes-Green asked: Why aren’t more people getting involved?

“Us Black folks, Latinx folk, and Asian folks, who are U.S. citizens, understand what it’s like to be discriminated against, so it’s only fair that we help fight against that so nobody else has to feel what we feel on a daily basis,” said Bethany Norwood, the peer coordinator of the Black/African American Cultural Center.

Jayes-Green suggested that undocumented students use resources to help them.

Emerald Green, the assistant director of the Black/ African American Cultural Center and co-advisor of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, said that since being Black and undocumented can be complex, it may take some time to understand.

“I am still processing… naturally I don’t know what I don’t know, which allows me to be more confident and OK with what I don’t know,” Emerald Green said.

There is no shortage of zines on Colorado State University’s campus. Between the “Grey Rock Review,” and “Speak Truth to Power,” students, staff and faculty have many opportunities to have their work published.

However, students will have another opportunity to publish their work in a zine called “Rebel, Empower, Dismantle.”

SUBMISSION INFORMATION ■ Email submissions to miran-

da.m.moses@gmail.com

Put together by members of the Red Whistle Brigade, the zine will focus on helping students heal after experiencing interpersonal violence, oppression, mass incarceration, police violence and more.

Before March 23, students can submit any artistic work including written pieces, songs, art designs to the magazine, according to Natalya Clasen, a member of the Red Whistle Brigade.

“It’s really a co-creation with the CSU community,” said Clasen, a sophomore in the Ethnic Studies department.

She noted that The Women and Gender Advocacy Center and Ethnic Studies department will also be involved in the production of the zine.

“It’s a co-creation to build community,” said Jake Aglietti, a Communication Studies senior. “That’s reallywhat it’s all about.”

The zine was first published in 2005 and has been published every spring semester since then, according to Aglietti.

While the organization involved have yet to decide on an exact publication date, they are shooting for mid- to lateApril to introduce their “labor of love,” as Clasen refers to it.

Warrior >> from page 1 “I’ve done it all,” Fishman said.

It was in Maryland where Fishman started his journey in “ANW.” After speaking to a number of competitors at a climbing gym, Fishman was invited to an “ANW” competition.

“I’ve always wanted to try it so I was like ‘let’s go ahead and try it,’” Fishman said. “I did pretty decent, and then they kept encouraging me to try out for the show and put in my video, and I did and somehow I got picked for the show. It has kind of all taken off from there.”

Eventually, Fishman came in touch with the Wolfpack Ninjas and became a member of their training gym in Loveland.

Fishman’s training for his first run consisted mostly of climbing, pushed into his last month before competition. A week before qualifiers, Fishman’s finger got caught in a car door. However, the night before his run, Fishman said that his finger “magically stopped hurting.”

Fishman described his qualifying run as crazy and nerveracking for both the week leading up and the week after qualifiers.

“I hit the buzzer in qualifiers,” Fishman said. “So, then you have this hour moment of just bliss where you’re so happy and then you realize ‘oh crap, I have to

compete the next night.’”

After placing 14th in finals, Fishman moved on to the the Las Vegas run. During his run in Las Vegas, Fishman fell on the jumping spider obstacle.

“Honestly it was just a huge relief,” Fishman said. “I wasn’t upset at all. I wasn’t mad that I fell.

It was my first season on the show, I had never really done spiderjump training before. So to fall on that, it was going to happen.”

Jen Fishman has been watching her husband rise further in the competition next to other big names.

“On the one hand I felt bad, but it was also just so surreal realizing he was one of a really select few people who were able to get as far as he did,” Jen Fishman said. “It was really exciting being around all those ninja warriors and all those big names you see on TV and all of a sudden he’s on the same level as they are.”

Fishman said that his plan going forward is to win the milliondollar prize the “ANW” offers, and to use that money to buy a cheaper house and invest to start college funds for the children he wishes to have.

“It is just fun,” Fishman said.

If it wasn’t fun none of us would be doing it. That’s really the simplest answer of what ‘American Ninja Warrior’ is to me, it’s fun. It’s a way for me to be a big kid as an adult, and get to play on obstacles for a living. Who doesn’t love that?”

MUSIC

MGMT’s ‘Little Dark Age’ is an 80s throwback

By Henry Netherland @NetherlandHenry

MGMT has always kept fans on their toes.

The duo trolled the music industry in 2010 when they released “Congratulations,” an experimental departure from the more traditional pop music they released earlier in the decade.

Afterwards, they would go on to release their worst received album, “MGMT” in 2013. Now five years, later the boys are back with their usual psych-pop style on “Little Dark Age,” but this time they are throwing it back to the glorious days of 1980s synthpop.

‘LITTLE DARK AGE’ ■ Best Songs

“When You Die” “Me and Michael” “Days That Got Away” “She Works Out Too Much” ■ Worst Songs “James” Available on iTunes and Spotify The album’s opener, “She Works Out Too Much” is an experimental psychedelic take on 80’s synth-pop with an athletic twist. The song describes the failing relationship between a man and his exercise loving girlfriend. The uncredited female singer and lead singer, Andrew VanWyngarden execute a perfect call-and-response style chorus. The song operates at the perfect opener for what to expect on the rest of the album.

“When You Die” is probably the most energetic song in the tracklisting, which is not really saying that much. While the synths are present, the acoustic guitars play the most prominent instrumental role. The shouty vocals on the verses compliment the gorgeous guitar riffs perfectly.

“Me and Michael” is where the 80’s influence really begin

to shine through. It sounds like it would fit perfectly into an 80’s prom playlist. The shimmering synths contrast with these almost gothic vocals giving the tune an enjoyable, eerie sound.

“TSLAMP” is where I feel the most torn on the whole album. In one respect, the track has an infectious rhythm from the tribal-like drums. On the other hand, the chorus lacks a distinct melody that prevents me from outwardly enjoying it.

This is a shame because not only are the rhythms catchy, but the track also has some of the most thought-provoking lyrics on the entire record.

Normally, I ignore fauxphilosophical arguments condescendingly criticizing the audience of how they are wasting their lives looking at their smartphone screens instead of their surrounding environment.

However, on “TSLAMP,” there is a genuine feeling of depression and concern after contemplating the lack of in-person communication and technologyfree activities in contemporary society.

Unfortunately, once the song “James” arrives, the album begins to fall off. To put it bluntly, this song is boring. The instrumental is good and the melody is not the worst thing I have ever heard, but the vocals are deprived of any passion. The song is pleasant to listen to, but almost nothing is engaging about it.

“Days That Got Away” is a near five minute instrumental track with only a brief refrain interjecting itself every so often.

Normally, I would expect this to be a slog to listen to, but the song had some good melodies and chord progressions throughout the song.

Besides “Days That Got Away,” the second-half of “Little Dark Age” is littered with filler tracks. “One Thing Left to Try” also features a female vocalist, however, her voice is much harsher and her melodies clash with the instrumental. The last two songs, “When You’re Small”

MGMT’s ‘Little Dark Age’ album art. PHOTO COURTESY OF MGMT

and “Hand It Over” are similar to “James” in terms of being slow-paced and generally boring.

There is a haunting quality to the vocals as usual, but the songs do not progress into anything interesting.

Despite the majority of the songs being over four minutes on average, none of them really overstay their welcome. Yes, some of the songs towards the back end are somewhat patience-testing, but they are easy to tune out of and use as background music. The worst a track will come to is passable, but unengaging.

Aside from being heavily frontloaded, the album’s biggest flaw is its melodies which can occasionally be flat and lifeless. Fortunately, the chord progressions are usually decent enough to overcome the album’s shortcomings.

Should you listen to it? Probably “Little Dark Age” marks an interesting point in MGMT’s discography. Throughout this album, there is a specific sound the band is focused on. Overall, the duo accomplishes making the project uniform, but not onenote. I can understand why this album might not be appealing at first listen. In the beginning, I was incredibly underwhelmed, but with every additional listen, the project grew on me. The album is slow-paced, but if you take the time to appreciate the multiple directions of every song you will enjoy it.
