Fort Collins Mural Project brings color and culture to Old Town

By Lauryn Bolz @laurynbolz

Golden goddesses, friendly animals and abstract patterns are gracing and transforming the streets of Old Town.

The Fort Collins Mural Project is challenging the perceptions of visitors and residents using visual language, and changing the vibe of the city from a college town to an artistic focal point of Colorado.

The project started in 2015 with Lindee Zimmer, a CSU graduate, who at the time was painting a mural outside The Alley Cat Cafe. Zimmer says it has been quite a successful adventure.

“A gal approached me while I was painting and asked me to start a mural project,” Zimmer said. “I got a committee together, a group of artists, and we began painting together to build our portfolios and started

reaching out to business owners.”

The Mural Project seeks out blank walls and collects funding from the Old Town businesses who own them for a mural to be put up. Experienced in largescale murals or not, contemporary artists are called out and paid for their contribution to the streets of Old Town.

The project has since then created 12 public murals around Old Town Fort Collins,

with many more in the works.

In recent months, it has been easy to notice the arrival of new color to the streets of Old Town.

In late July, two artists named Abram Aleo and Travis Gillan answered a public call from the Fort Collins Mural Project and soon completed their first collaboration in the Montezuma-Fuller Alley. The surreal, large-scale scene of animals, shapes, and women’s eyes is a striking sight in what

was before a lackluster back alleyway.

“I think the biggest thing for this mural is that we wanted to do our style and get weird so it shakes people up as they walk by,” Gillan said. “We didn’t want just some generic mural, but of course you need to compromise a bit and make something for everyone.”

GoFundMe campaign for CSU victim of hit-andrun raises over $8,000

By Matt Bailey @mattbailey760

The original donation goal for the victim of a hit-and-run incident has almost doubled since it was created less than two weeks ago.

Griselda Landa-Posas, a senior undergraduate student at Colorado State University and Native American Cultural Center employee, was riding her bike to work Aug. 23 when a vehicle hit her from behind at approximately 6:30 a.m. and drove off, leaving her with serious injuries to her femur and hip bones.

Landa-Posas’s friend and NACC coworker Milena Castaneda, who is the Associated Students of CSU’s NACC representitive, started a GoFundMe campaign in which over $8,000 of the $10,000 goal has been reached.

“When I heard about the hit-and-run, I was devastated,” Castaneda wrote in an email to The Collegian. “The fact that someone left her there on the side of the road like that makes my blood boil. I couldn’t imagine what she had gone through, but most importantly that we almost lost her.”

When Castaneda first started the GoFundMe campaign,the original goal of $5,000 was raised in two days, prompting her to raise the goal amount to $10,000, she said.

The NACC office also has a donation box set up along side the other SDPS offices.

“I have seen support from students, staff and families from all over,” Castaneda wrote.

“Through this horrendous situation we have been able to show Griselda the unconditional love and support that people she has met and made an impact on …

It shows that we stand true to a statement CSU lives by: Rams take care of Rams.”

After 12 days of being in the hospital and having undergone five surgeries, Landa-Posas was moved to a rehabilitation center last night, and she begins rehabilitation today.

“It’s been a very slow and painful process, but I think at the same time I feel very fortunate because this accident has made me very appreciative of all the good people in my life,” Landa-Posas said. “Just knowing that I have so many beautiful people in my life makes me so grateful.”

Landa-Posas explained how the stress of paying for her operations became a burden since the incident occurred, saying that her nurses told her she would wake up during her operations stressing about payments.

But, the money that has been raised by Castaneda’s GoFundMe campaign has alleviated this financial burden.

Landa-Posas, who is currently studying fish, wildlife and conservation biology and ethnic studies at CSU, said she looks forward to moving back into her Fort Collins apartment after finishing rehabilitation.

“She is a bright light in our office, and what I’ve heard from other students is how they have missed her smile, laughter and overall positivity while she’s been out these past two weeks,” Tiffani Kelly, assistant director at NACC, wrote in an email to The Collegian. “She has a way of authentically engaging with almost anyone on a personal level because she truly cares about people and the power of community.”

At this time, the person who hit Landa-Posas has not been identified. Landa-Posas said she would like to see this person come forward so that he or she, as well as Landa-Posas, can move forward and heal.

“I can’t hold a grudge against the person who did this to me,” Landa-Posas said. “I don’t have any resentment, and there’s never been a day when I’ve wished that person bad.

We’re all humans, we all make mistakes.”

L.A. County D.A. declines to charge Veteran Symposium to actors amid allegations of sexual abuse discuss student veterans

By Richard Winton Los Angeles Times

The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office has declined to file charges against three actors accused of sexual abuse in the wake of the #MeToo movement.

Kevin Spacey and Steven Seagal won’t face criminal charges following allegations from the 1990s because the alleged incidents are beyond the statute of limitations, and prosecutors rejected filing a charge against “black-ish” actor Anthony Anderson, citing insufficient evidence.

The D.A.’s entertainment task force on Tuesday said charges would not be filed against the three men, who are among dozens in Hollywood under investigation by police in Los Angeles County following sexual abuse accusations.

Prosecutors declined to charge Spacey in an October 1992 case, saying the date was beyond the period in which a charge could be filed. That allegation, made by a man, involved an incident in West Hollywood.

Spacey’s representatives did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

Beverly Hills police last year investigated Seagal after a woman reported he had raped her on Jan. 1, 1993. Prosecutors, however, declined the case, noting the woman was 18 at the time and the statute of limitations for rape charges was six years at the time.

“Therefore analysis of the strengths and weaknesses is not warranted,” a prosecutor said in

rejecting a filing that was not in the formal paperwork.

Seagal – a Russian citizen who was named in August as the Kremlin’s newest special envoy to the United States _ has faced more than half a dozen allegations of sexual assault, including rape, over several decades. The allegations, which he has repeatedly denied, have been leveled by actresses, film workers and reporters.

Representatives for Seagal could not be reached for comment.

Prosecutors also declined to charge Anderson, best-known as the father in TV’s “black-ish,” after a woman reported to police that she had been raped and sexually abused earlier this year by the actor. The accuser refused to cooperate with LAPD investigators, and prosecutors said that lack of information is the reason no charges will be filed.

Anderson “unequivocally disputes the claim” against him, and authorities have not contacted him about it, a representative for the actor said in a statement.

The D.A.’s task force was formed after dozens of Hollywood directors, producers and actors were accused of sexual misconduct in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse scandal. The district attorney’s office has yet to charge any of the accused.

Two years ago, California legislators enacted a law eliminating the previous 10-year-old statute of limitations for rape – the most serious of sex crimes – but that does not include offenses before 2016.

Spacey, 58, is the former artistic director of the Old Vic theater in

London and is the subject of multiple police investigations in Massachusetts and England. A sexual battery allegation from 2016 in Malibu is still under review by the district attorney.

The Old Vic theater said it has received 20 allegations of inappropriate behavior against Spacey. At least six accusations of sex crimes are being investigated by London’s Metropolitan Police.

The actor also is facing criminal investigation in the United States after an 18-year-old reported to authorities in November that the actor grabbed his genitals in a Nantucket, Mass., bar in 2016.

The two-time Oscar winner has been accused of sexual misconduct by at least 15 men, with alleged incidents spanning his decades in film and on the stage. In October, actor Anthony Rapp said that in 1986, when Rapp was 14, Spacey made sexual advances toward him in a hotel room. Since then, several men have come forward to report incidents involving the actor.

After Rapp made his allegation, Spacey issued a statement saying he did not remember the encounter but apologized for “deeply inappropriate drunken behavior.”

As the number of accusations escalated, Netflix cut Spacey from his lead role in the award-winning series “House of Cards.” Ridley Scott also removed Spacey from his role in “All the Money in the World” and reshot parts of the film with Christopher Plummer as a replacement.

CORNER OF W. ELIZABETH & CITY PARK AVE.

The biennial Colorado State University Veterans Symposium, returning on Sept. 7, will focus on leadership and the value of veterans on campus and in the community.

The symposium will host speakers and breakout sessions covering the value of “the current generation of veterans,” as students, employees and leaders, and will be located in Canvas Stadium.

“The goal is to promote the value of this generation of veterans on campus, in the classrooms, to employers and to community members,” Marc Barker said, the director of Adult Learner and Veteran Services for CSU. “They’re leaders.

They bring a perspective to the classroom . . . unlike any other student.”

The event will feature talks

by Chief of Veterans Affairs and Veterans Experience Betty Moseley Brown, CSU alumnus Lt. Gen. James Dickinson and President and CEO of Student Veterans of America Jared Lyon.

After the Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 was passed, there was an influx of veterans in higher education, Barker said. Programs for student veterans at the time were often built around the resources necessary to educate them and the support they will need.

“Unfortunately the narra-

tive around how to serve student veterans at that time was all from a deficit-based model,” Barker said. “We were talking about the strain on resources and about PTSD and all of the negative things we were going to have to see and do to prepare for this influx of student veterans.”

In 2014 the ALVS realized that they were not having to grapple with those problems and launched the Veterans Symposium as part of what Barker calls their values-based model, meaning they structure resources and services available to student veterans around strengths.

“We have incredible services for those who do need help,” said Maggie Walsh, assistant chief of staff and director of veteran initiatives “But we . . . are focusing on the positives and strengths (of our student veterans).”

Walsh and Barker said the value-based model is the reason that CSU is listed as the seventh best school for student veterans

by Military Times.

“This symposium is just another example of CSU valuing the student veterans,” Walsh said. “We really are a national leader in what we do here with our veterans.”

Participants must register online before Wednesday, according to the symposium’s website. CSU students and staff get in for free, admission for the general public is $25.

Morgan Library Study Cube reopens bed-bug free

By Samantha Ye @samxye4

Good night, study right, no longer will the bed bugs bite.

After a week of closure for extensive bed bug extermination, the Morgan Library Cube reopened pest-free Sept. 1 at 5 a.m.

â– The University asks students to

report any potential on-campus pest concerns to University authorities, contact a building official or report the concern to Environmental Health Services at 970-491-6745.

According to Dell Rae Ciaravola, public safety and risk communications manager, the reopening took place after numerous area inspections by experts and three separate groups.

The Cube closed Aug. 24 following a report of bed bugs in the building. An exterminator found the pests were limited to only one area of the building.

The entire building and all furniture were treated by an exterminator and heat-steamed twice to kill all the bed bugs and potential larvae.

During this time, the main library remained open.

There has still been no evidence there are bed bugs in the main library and no reports to suggest otherwise, Ciaravola wrote in an email to The Collegian. There were no bed bug reports for other campus buildings either when The Cube was closed.

The prevalence of bed bugs have been increasing nationwide, according to the National Pest Management Association, and addressing potential bed bug problems as soon as they are noticed is an important step.

LAPD releases additional video of Trader Joe’s shooting

By Cindy Chang Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES – Additional video and audio of a vehicle pursuit, shootout and hostage standoff at a Trader Joe’s in Silver Lake that took the life of a store manager hit by a police officer’s bullet was released Tuesday by the Los Angeles Police Department.

Within days of the July 21 incident, department officials released dashboard and body camera videos showing two officers shooting into the Trader Joe’s front entrance at a man who was firing his gun wildly after shooting at them during a pursuit.

At that time, Chief Michel Moore announced that the store manager, 27-year-old Melyda Corado, who emerged from the store as the suspect exchanged fire with the officers, was killed by an officer’s bullet.

Moore said he released the initial batch of videos to give the public an idea of what happened.

The second batch, which was released as part of a new LAPD policy requiring recordings to be made public within 45 days of shootings by police officers, does not contain new footage of the shootout and does not shed further light on how Corado died.

But 911 calls, as well as previously unreleased videos of the pursuit and negotiations with the gunman, provide a fuller picture of the dramatic events that un-

folded on a Saturday afternoon at a store that is a popular gathering place for locals.

Attorneys for Corado’s relatives, however, criticized the LAPD’s video releases as “edited and highly produced.”

“Despite our multiple requests, the LAPD will not release the raw, unedited car, helicopter and body cam footage available,” one of the attorneys, John C. Taylor, said Tuesday. “They want no information released that could play negatively against them.”

The suspect, Gene Atkins, ended up at the Trader Joe’s after allegedly shooting his grandmother several times at their South Los Angeles home, officials said. He is accused of forcing a young woman into his grandmother’s car and driving with her to Hollywood, Cmdr. Alan Hamilton, who leads the LAPD’s Force Investigations Division, said in the video released Tuesday.

In a 911 call around 1:30 p.m., a woman said to the dispatcher: “The front house in front of me, I think it’s my aunt’s grandson just shot her.”

She described the car that the suspect used to leave the scene – a dark blue 2017 Toyota Camry, heading west on East 32nd Street.

Another 911 caller said she heard multiple gunshots and screams.

“There’s a guy who has a little girl. She has blood everywhere,” the caller said before reciting the

Camry’s license plate number.

“I seen him get out the house carrying a lady with blood,” she added.

Police used a vehicle anti-theft system to track the Camry to Hollywood, Hamilton said.

Tuesday’s video shows a police car pursuing the suspect up Vine Street toward Hollywood Boulevard, passing the Capitol Records building.

At one point, the driver pulled into a gas station and attempted to carjack a customer, officials said. As he headed toward Silver Lake, the right front tire fell off his car, but he continued fleeing at high speeds.

The video then segues to previously released video of two police officers, identified by the LAPD as Sinlen Tse and Sarah Winans, pursuing the Camry on Rowena Avenue in Silver Lake.

It includes a slow-motion replay of shots being fired through the Camry’s back window.

“Shots fired!” Tse shouted to his partner as he swerved into oncoming lanes.

“All right, partner, I got my gun out,” Winans said after calling on the radio for help.

“Do not, do not shoot,” Tse told her. “Get distance. We are getting distance.”

Forty-five seconds later, the Camry veered into a utility pole in front of the Trader Joe’s, and the driver bolted for the entrance, firing his gun wildly from his hip.

The officers had less than two seconds to react before the gunman fled into a store full of shoppers. The video shows a man by the entrance and another behind the wreck but not who was behind the glass front doors.

The officers opened fire. One of their bullets struck Corado, passing through her arm before entering her body. Another bullet hit the suspect in the arm, but he made it into the store, shooting at least three times at police from inside, officials said.

After the initial exchange of gunfire, the officers moved to a low wall opposite the market. The gunman shot three more times at police from inside, striking the wall and a pole near police. One round landed with a loud ping.

“Get your head down,” an officer yelled.

The gunman held a group of shoppers and employees hostage for three hours before surrendering. Several hostages tried to help Corado and carried her out of the store, but she was pronounced dead in an ambulance, Hamilton said.

The woman with Atkins during the police pursuit was treated for a gunshot wound to the head and taken to the hospital.

Tuesday’s release contains an audio recording of a police officer speaking to the gunman by phone while trying to persuade him to let the hostages go.

“OK, OK, that works for me,” the officer said. “Just OK, just do me a favor, just hang tight. I’m gonna ... I’m gonna hang up right for you for one second. I’ll call you right back, OK?” The officer then told colleagues to provide the gunman with handcuffs.

“He says if you guys would throw a set of handcuffs in, he’ll have somebody handcuff him,” the officer said.

Atkins faces 51 felony counts, including murder, kidnapping, premeditated attempted murder and attempted murder of a peace officer.

Though Atkins, 28, did not fire the round that killed Corado, prosecutors charged him under the “provocative act murder” doctrine because they say he set off the events that led to her death.

Moore has said that he will wait until the investigation is completed before determining what consequences, if any, the officers involved in the gun battle will face internally. But on its face, he said, their decision to shoot at Atkins appeared justified.

On the video released Tuesday, LAPD spokesman Josh Rubenstein said that investigators still have additional body camera video to analyze and many witnesses to interview.

70 protesters arrested at first Kavanaugh hearing

By Katherine Tully-McManus C-Q Roll Call

WASHINGTON – The Capitol Police arrested 70 protesters Tuesday at the first day of the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Of the total, 61 were removed by Capitol Police from the Hart Office Building room where Senate Judiciary Committee members were giving opening statements for more than seven hours. Those arrested were charged with disorderly conduct.

The protesters, who represented a range of groups that want to defeat Kavanaugh’s confirmation, stood and yelled at lawmakers during the panel’s proceedings. They were led out of the hearing room by officers assembled and prepared for the unrest.

Many of the arrested were women representing the Women’s March and Popular De-

mocracy Action.

“Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination is a direct assault on women and we are fighting back,” said Linda Sarsour of Women’s March, who was released in the late afternoon after being the first arrestee of the day.

“This country has a long history of men co-opting the bodies of those without power – women, people of color, immigrants, refugees, LGBTQ people, people with low incomes, and intersections of all these identities – to make white men with wealth even more powerful,” said Jennifer Epps-Addison of CPD Action in a statement.

An additional nine people were removed from the second floor of the Dirksen Senate Office Building for “unlawful demonstration activities” and were charged with crowding, obstructing or incommoding, according to Capitol Police spokesperson Eva Malecki.

Sugar Babies: A step up or a step back for women?

Eight percent of millennial Americans are currently involved in sugaring. Sugaring refers to the act of providing one’s company for financial compensation and usually involves romantic and personal relationships.

Two columnist debate the pros and cons of the growing sugar baby industry.

Madison Thompson @heyymadison

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.

Having multiple jobs is not uncommon for millennials. Some people walk dogs, others buy and resell vintage clothes and some exchange their time for an emotional and sometimes physical relationship with older, wealthy men. The people who pursue this line of work as usually college-aged people and are commonly known as sugar babies.

Becoming a sugar baby presents a unique opportunity for women pursuing financial security and should be considered a viable career option because it gives them complete control over a financial, emotional and sometimes a physical relationship.

Normalizing this behavior can only benefit future generations as women become more autonomous and use these opportunities to benefit themselves and the world around them.

While it is generally a young woman’s game, men are also known to seek out and benefit from these opportunities.

The relationship between a sugar baby and their sugar daddy can take on many different facets. They sometimes include physical aspects. However, the relationships are usually based largely on emotional intimacy and companionship.

In his article, Stanfield claims that while being a sugar baby is a decent prospect while you are young, it is implausible to consider it as a career option because it is established mainly on the pretense of physical attraction.

This might have been an issue some time ago, but forms of plastic surgery and makeup techniques can make someone who is 40 look 20.

It is also possible that a sugar baby makes enough money that they do not necessarily have to pursue a secondary career. Even if they are being paid an allowance, dies are known to give gifts in the form of student loan payments and free meals. This allows sugar babies to better establish their financial independence at an early age and possibly retire younger than most.

Due to an increasing reliance on technology, the ability to be financially independent and control their bodily autonomy is an attractive offer. The prospects for sugar babies are likely to

only increase. In the United States, the number of older men aged 65+ living Arisson alone is projected to rise by 65 percent Stanfield between now and 2030 from 911,000 to 1.5 million men. @OddestOdyssey Whether the relationship is mainly emotional or physical, it is possible they could foster a sense of entitlement over women’s time and emotional Editor’s Note: All opinion section content investment.

Making a relationship into a financial transaction can create arrangements where men feel as though they are owed something by women; implying to some that women are something to be bought and used. More worryingly, it may also make women feel pressured to gratify their partners sexual needs regardless of what their own interest and desires are.

Sugar babies also run the risk of working against their own best interest.

Opportunity cost is what one loses out on when choosing one course of action over another.The time spent seeking a financially gratifying relationship is the same time that could be spent pursuing a relationship rooted in romance or pursuing a different, more stable career field.

The pursuit of fast cash through sugaring comes at the expense of developing skills that could better serve one in the future. If one spends their time learning how to use their looks to secure financial stability what are they to do when their attractiveness inevitably fades?

This is an issue that will disproportionately affect women as studies show that men’s attractiveness tends to be correlated with how dominant women perceive them to be. This is not necessarily the case for women whose attractiveness can be correlated more purely with physical appearance and is therefore more susceptible to decline with age.

Thompson argues that sugaring provides a way for liberated women to explore romance and capitalism in a way that is autonomous and selfdirected. At the same time, this line of work seems to subvert The Women’s Progressive Society’s assessment that there is a, “necessity [for the] financial independence of all women.”

Being a sugar baby paradoxically promotes traditional heteronormative power structures and relationship arrangements. At the same time it is the free choice of countless young women and, for many, is a fast route to honest money that is under their control.

The clear presence of alluring benefits and the risk of pernicious cost make this a topic that cannot go undiscussed in our universities and the larger society.

Students interested in gaining more perspective on this issue and other related topics may find the resources they need within Colorado State University’s Women and Gender Advocacy Center and the Center for Women’s Studies and Gender Research.

CSU STYLES

As we approach post swimsuit season, we remind you to skip the pumpkin spiced latte’s and keep in shape. Jeans are classy and professional of course, but Vogue Paris is calling for athleisure in every collection this season.

Want us to feature your style? Contact Hayden Cole at hcole@collegian. com

From the gym to the streets, this season is athleisure, athleisure, athleisure. Accessorize your heels with a pair of soccer socks. Think I’m crazy? Look it up, it’s called fashion.

However, New York’s style is far different from Fort Collins, so I don’t blame you if you chose to not rock this look. Instead, head over to Lululemon, Target, Athleta, Fabletics, Carbon 38, and other brands to fit the look and prepare you for the cardio workouts that we all fear.

Cheaper options are at T.J. Maxx, Ross, and of course Plato’s Closet.

Best of CSU

Sweatpants are athleisure as well for those of you who don’t prefer the legging style. Celebrities such as Kylie Jenner, Hailey Baldwin, Gigi Hadid, Justin Beiber, Zac Efron, Ashton Kutcher, A$AP Rocky, and many others rock the look with tennis shoes, a t-shirt, and a gentleman’s jacket, flannel, or athleisure jacket.

Who said fashion has to burn another hole in your pocket? Tuition is enough as is. Look and feel great on your way to your 8 am class this season with athleisure wear! Not to mention, athleisure is a great look and motivation to work out during any season.

Send your best athleisure looks to @style_overview_collegian on Instagram and we might share it!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CSU should not shield students from hate speech

By Guest Author @CSUCollegian

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.

Allec Brust is the former opinion editor for The Collegian.

This is a response to “CSU needs to protect students from hate speech.”

Condoning the irrational and narrow-minded speakers on the plaza is surely not on the agenda of any Colorado State University student, except perhaps the small pool that might agree.

No—I do not condone this behavior, however, the University should not do anything to make it stop.

The letter written by sophomore Madi Smith this week was well written and exposes her passion for freedom of expression.

However, I disagree with Smith’s hypocritical thesis.

Smith wrote, “The University needs to more closely monitor the people coming to speak on campus to protect students from hate speech.” My issue with this statement is that monitoring speech is inhibiting free speech.

First, the Plaza is a hub for free speech. Its title as a free speech zone was actually removed a few years ago thus allowing free speech on the entire University. What a powerful thing that is. Anybody can say what they want, the same way others can argue if they want.

The problem that Smith identifies is that sometimes individuals such as Brother Jed and his accomplice (who Smith refers to as the 27-year-old virgin) preach unsavory opinions that can be harmful. While that might be true in Smith’s opinion, nobody can say that what the preacher and his partner was wrong because it was their opinion. It is free speech.

Let’s keep the crazy, sexist, bewildering speakers on the Plaza. The world is not a safe space, and CSU should not be enforcing the idea that it is.

This University has done an amazing job making people feel welcome on campus, in my opinion. If CSU were to remove something because it makes people uncomfortable, it would be a huge middle finger to education.

The harsh reality is that people like Brother Jed exist. They will not disappear from the earth

NOPE

&

just because we start to monitor their behavior on campus.

Building CSU into a soft and cuddly university just because people feel uncomfortable might seem super rad right now, but it would do no good in the future if students are faced with real issues.

Brother Jed sucks. I have personally spoken with him and other faith-based speakers about our disagreements. If he was not allowed to speak, I wouldn’t have the chance to preach my stance and maybe teach him something about the world.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, that is what makes the world a beautiful and free place.

While Smith may have come out of that experience shaken, she was able to form an opinion.

That is awesome. If people on the Plaza only preached widely accepted viewpoints, the Plaza would be a very boring place.

VOLLEYBALL

CSU seals a positive record in tournament with win over TCU

By Sergio Santistevan @TheRealsSergio

No. 25 Colorado State volleyball came out firing in their first two sets of their Moby Arena tournament against Texas Christian which helped lead to their four-set victory in the concluding match (25-21, 2515, 15-25, 25-20).

TCU struggled throughout the tournament, going winless in their first two matchups of the weekend to both Florida State University and The University of Cincinnati.

To start, the Rams swung to an impressive hitting percentage (.444) in the opening set victory.

CSU capitalized off of TCU’s seven attack errors and the play of Kirstie Hillyer. Hillyer, with a noticeable size difference compared to TCU,

led the Rams with seven kills in the set.

“I think it’s definitely an advantage, we had a big team, they had a big team,” Hillyer said. “I think we came out and did well against them.”

The Rams’ second set was more of the same as TCU’s collection of errors was the story throughout the second set with a total of 12 compared to CSU’s three. The Horned Frogs were unable to garner any offense, hitting a whopping zero percent in the set. An all-around team effort contributed to the Rams 2515 second set victory, including the help of true-freshmen Sasha Colombo. The Rams had five straight points led by Colombo’s serves.

Coach Tom Hilbert says moving forward he will use Colombo as

a server but wants to ease her as an attacker as well.

Despite coming out of the intermission up 2-0, the Rams looked a bit sluggish to start the third set.

Their nemesis early in the season, CSU had four errors in the early portion of the set as TCU jumped out to an early 9-2 lead. The slow start was too much to overcome as the Horned Frogs dominated the third set 25-15 to avoid the sweep.

“Something happened. It was momentum based, and that they jumped out to a lead.” Hilbert said.

“Our team got a little disruptive, we didn’t refocus from that.”

A bit of a hungover carried into the fourth set for the Rams but resulted in the most competitive set of the entire match. Both teams had their fair share of the lead, but the

action was back-and-forth for majority of the set. In the biggest call of the night, Hilbert successfully challenged the ruling of a kill by Runnels that went off the fingertips of a TCU defender to widen the score 22-19, which woke up the Moby faithful. CSU looked to learn from their mistakes against Florida State University and never relinquished their lead again.

“Sets like that are so good for our volleyball team to play, complete with a win,” said Hilbert. “It’s winning the hard way, but you have to learn how to do that.”

The Rams were led in points

by Breanna Runnels, but it was the play from Oleksak that stood out to Hilbert. Oleksak was one block away from a triple-double.

“I thought she played well,”

Hilbert said. “What I liked about it today was that she, in the fourth set, was just really good.”

TCU was led by a career-match from freshman élan McCall with 31 kills on a .349 percentage.

Hilbert says gritty, tournaments and games like these, help prepare for conference play and advancement in the NCAA tournament.

CSU will face another challenge as they will have to pack their bags and head to Ann Arbor, Michigan for a tournament starting on Sept.

7. The Rams have a three-game stretch starting with Louisiana State University and Oakland University before ending with The University of Michigan, a team they faced twice last season.

CROSS COUNTRY

Cross Country shines in season-opening meet

By Michelle Gould @michellegouldd

The Colorado State Cross Country team competed in their first meet of the 2018-19 season at the Wyoming Invite as the No. 9 ranked men’s team took first place, while the women took third against teams from across the Front Range.

The teams included The University of Colorado, who came in ranked seventh nationally, as well as No. 16 Air Force Academy, Wyoming and Northern Colorado. Senior Eric Hamer set the tone for his teammates, finishing as the runner-up collegian of the meet.

Senior Cole Rockhold finished six seconds behind his teammate in third. Junior Forrest Barton came in at fourth, with fellow seniors Carson Hume and Trent Powell rounding out the scoring for the Rams, tallying up 32 points.

With the course being more difficult than usual, coach Art Siemers is confident this opener shook off the nerves and anxiousness for his team, promising a successful season.

“We knew that on this course, Wyoming was going to come at us hard,” Siemers said. “They have some quality transfers, and (former CSU assistant) coach (Scott) Dahlberg is a good coach.

I thought it was a great start for us given that it was a tough course: windy and at a little higher altitude than we train at.”

Siemers was very pleased with the men’s performance, focusing especially on Barton’s performance as a top-10 scorer.

“He’s been training really well for the last year-and-a-half, and

it was only a matter of time until the training translated to racing,” Siemers said. “Forrest has had a few years in our program, and he’s one of those guys that we hope helps elevate us to the next level.”

On the women’s side, CSU finished as the third-place team.

Pacing CSU for the women was Minnesota senior transfer, Bailey Ness. Ness finished third with a time of 18:14. Roxy Trotter finished with a time of 18:56 with redshirt freshmen Lily Tomasula-Martin and Jenna Diers as well as true freshman Ivy Gonzales contributing to the final team score.

Siemers is confident that the return of senior leaders and the Rams’ top two scorers, Ali Kallner and Macy Kreutz, will help improve the team’s standings later in the season.

“We didn’t have Ali since she got sick two days ago, and she’s our top returner this year.

For her not to be able to run, I thought our ladies responded really well to run well against the other teams,” Siemers said. “I’m excited for when we get Ali and Macy (Kreutz) back, as they’re our top two returners and training really well. And you put them in with Bailey (Ness), who is going to be a star... the sky’s the limit for her this year.”

The Rams will continue their season in four weeks in Madison, Wisconsin. The Rams will be competing at the prestigious Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational where they will defend former Rams’ star runner Jerrell Mock’s title. The action begins on Friday, Sept. 28.

The rest of the wall is a bit more abstract but still draws inspiration from the lively Fort Collins atmosphere and the animals of the Front Range region.

“I hope we shake people up a bit, make them stop and think and appreciate,” Gillan said. “I think there is something enhancing to a town by investing in public art.”

While bringing color to the streets and encouraging pay for local artists, the Mural Project is also making the creation of public art easy. A legal counsel makes it so artists don’t have to jump through hoops with private businesses or the city council, and those who want to display their art publicly can do it with ease.

The Project’s process makes it so that the artists have complete creative influence, with no input from the owners of

There’s only one thing I love more than food: saving money.

While splurging on a nice meal here and there is nice, imagine a world where mom’s spaghetti or dad’s tamales were right at your fingertips.

This can be your reality.

Last week I got a call from my roommate asking me to teach her how to cook. While I love to cook, I’m just as broke as any other college student so feeding another person can be difficult. So, this column is the best way to share my pearls of cuisine wisdom.

What’s for dinner? Fresh carbonara.

MOVIES

‘Cameron Post’ shows horrors of outdated treatment for LGBTQ youth

By Ty Davis @tydavisACW

Despite a few fumbles, “The Miseducation of Cameron Post” manages to keep itself stable enough to deliver an emotionally charged piece of lesbian, young-adult fiction. The film undoubtedly earns the rewards it has received.

“The Miseducation of Cameron Post” breaks away from the LGBTQ cinema convention of telling stories about the experiences of gay men, exemplified in films such as Love, Simon, Call Me by Your Name, and A Single Man, by centering the story around a gay teenage girl.

Based on the novel of the same name, author Emily M. Danforth writes from her similar experiences growing up as a closeted lesbian in rural Montana. Based in the ‘90s, the story follows the titular Cameron Post (Chloe Grace Moretz) as she is sent to a conversion therapy camp called “God’s Promise,” after an incident reveals that she is gay.

From there, Cameron needs to deal with a borderline sociopathic therapist and an invasive reverend, making friends with other kids and dealing with a slew of conflicting emotions and ideas.

The film offers an underutilized perspective, similar to films like “The Perk of Being a Wallflower,” with it’s unabashed examination of teenage life. The story looks at the tribulations of being a teenage lesbian girl, a perspective that’s rarely covered in media, and as such examines the ways those experiences are unique.

THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST ■ Playing at:

The Lyric Cinema

“Miseducation” utilizes a stark sense of awkwardness throughout the film from its characters, environments and situations. Not a single interaction can go by without making you wince in social discomfort.

The other camp residents speak with rehearsed lines they force to put genuine effort in. Other residents act-out in spectacularly awkward ways that only teenagers in strange situations with no power can.

Therapist Lydia Marsh (Jennifer Ehle,) the director of the camp, and the camp itself give off this eerie sense of uneasiness that only the aggressive American Christian

wholesomeness can really give off, like someone on the razor’s edge of killing you, but managing to barely hold it back while keeping a smile the whole time.

The film does an amazing job of using Cameron’s journey through the camp to explore themes of self-hatred, manipulation, support systems, and the psychological toll of severe cognitive dissonance caused by these conversion camps.

More information on the the dangers of conversion therapy are available here.

If the film has one major flaw it would be the ending.

Cameron and other camp kids, Jane and Adam (Sasha Lane and Forrest Goodluck), devise a plan to resolve their situation, however, there is no internal or external conflict to impede them. They simply go through with the plan without any hesitation or resistance, making for an anti-climatic ending.

Should you watch it? Yes. Overall, “The Miseducation of Cameron Post” delivers a hard-hitting, emotionally gripping story of some of the most abhorrent practices still going in our society and how it affects the well-being of LGBTQ+ youth at the most tumultuous time of their lives.

■ 1 (1 lb) box pasta spaghetti

Cost: $1.49 ■ 5 white mushrooms Cost: $2.19 ■ 1 large white onion Cost: $0.75 ■ 10 oz spinach Cost: $1.49 ■ 5 eggs Cost: $2.99 ■ 3/4 cup parmesan Cost: $2.99 ■ 5 slices of bacon (optional) Cost: $4.99 ■ Total cost:

$16.86

Directions: 1. Bring four quarts of water to boil on medium high heat. Add salt and olive oil respectively 2. In a medium saucepan, heat some olive oil with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. I like to toss a piece of onion in to see when my oil is hot enough. When the onion starts sizzling, add diced bacon. If you choose not to use bacon, toss in your diced mushrooms and onions and the entire bag of spinach.

Spinach shrinks down as it cooks, so don’t be scared to toss it all in. Stir the pan periodically to cook the vegetable evenly. When the onions are translucent, remove the pan from the heat.

3. When the water is boiling, add your entire box of pasta.

While it cooks, push down any noodles that stick out above the water line.

4. In a small bowl, beat your eggs and add the parmesan. Beat once more, adding salt and pepper as desired.

5. Once your pasta is tender to the touch (this is what the cooking world calls “Al dente”), drain and return to the empty pot.

Make sure you turn the heat off at this point, but the pot is resting on a hot stovetop. Add your vegetables and stir until evenly combined.

6. Here’s the hard part: add your egg mixture over the pasta and stir rapidly. If you don’t stir the pasta quickly, the eggs will cook, and you’ll end up with a pot of scrambled eggs. You want to stir for about 2-3 minutes, nonstop until the sauce resembles a creamy butter sauce. Serve with parmesan sprinkled on top and a few cracks of black pepper.

7. Enjoy!

BOOKS

Alum shares her veterinary experience in memoir, ‘Drinking from the Trough”

By Claire Oliver @claire_oliver21

Becoming a healer of animals can be hard work and dealing with different maladies and injuries can take a toll, but for Mary Carlson, the journey of becoming a veterinarian was worth the long hours.

“You learn all the hard stuff in vet school and I can tell you with total honesty that I could not get into vet school today,” Carlson said. “They take ‘A’ students and they say to everybody else, ‘have a nice life.’”

The Colorado State University alumna and now retired vet shares her experience in “Drinking from the Trough: A Veterinarians Memoir.” The book was released in late August and focuses on Carlson’s residency in Fort Collins as well as the rigors of vet school here at CSU. According to Carlson, the ability to write seemed almost genetic. Her mother was a writer for radio when she was growing up and her father was a sketch artist. “[My father] did sketches and drawings and I never knew that,” Carlson said during a Q&A session at Old FireHouse books on Aug. 29. “So I came from a writer and an artist.”

Carlson has also written as a reporter for the Coloradoan. She said she always wanted to write but didn’t want to write short stories or poetry, so a book seemed

like the perfect fit.

Carlson, who originally hails from Chicago, fell in love with the West after visiting her uncle in Fort Collins. She came to CSU to get a degree in physical therapy, which is when she met her husband, Earl Carlson.

Earl Carlson was in his freshman year of vet school when the two met. Carlson was inspired by Earl to go back to school and apply to become a vet.

“You have to have compassion. Anything you can do when you are on your off time would be good, but you need that compassion.”

MARY CARLSON AUTHOR OF “DRINKING FROM THE TROUGH: A VETERANS MEMOIR.”

After graduating and working on a small farm in Fort Collins, Mary Carlson opened up the Blue Spruce Cat Clinic in her home.

The clinic provided medical care for all the felines here in the city.

She and her husband connected to the community by taking care of neighborhood animals through house calls.

Karen Boehler, a friend of Mary and Earl Carlson, said that they are a lovely couple devoted

to their practice and their clients.

“They were both incredible vets,” Boehler said. “[Mary] did large animals and was certified as a horse acupuncturist, one of the first.”

During the Q&A, Boehler shared a heartwarming memory of when her cat Rascal had to be put to sleep and how compassionate and kind both Earl and Mary Carlson were through the entire process.

Compassion is something Mary Carlson says is crucial when working with animals and is an important element of studying veterinary medicine.

“You have to have compassion,” Mary Carlson said. “If you were to do some volunteer work at the humane society or if you were to go to a nursing home or shadow someone with a therapy dog, that would be a good thing to do. Anything you can do when you are on your off time would be good, but you need that compassion.”

Mary Carlson retired from veterinary medicine in 2008 due to a hip replacement surgery.

Mary Carlson is now a lecturer in anatomy at the CSU college of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

“Drinking from the Trough: A Veterinarians Memoir” is now available in bookstores and online.
