Fort Collins Mennonite Fellowship sues City over locker program

By Samantha Ye & Julie Trowbridge @CSUCollegian

The outdoor homeless locker program is no longer sustainable for the Fort Collins Mennonite Fellowship, but the church is fighting for the restoration of their original pro-

gram.

The Fort Collins Mennonite Fellowship and Steve Ramer, the pastor of the church, are suing the City of Fort Collins for imposing unreasonable, vague and overly burdensome conditions on the church’s locker program, intended to provide people experiencing home-

lessness a safe storage place for their belongings, accessible 24/7.

Because of the requirements that the City put on these lockers, the church stated that they would have to shut down the locker program on Nov. 30, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit, filed on Nov. 6,

stated “the Mennonite belief in active faith includes a call of service and outreach to the most vulnerable members of the community.” The church practices “radical inclusivity,” aimed towards “having compassion for, and getting to know people who, as Jesus said, are the ‘least of us’ and are often on

the margins of society” The locker program falls under the religious mission of the church, which also provides other aides, like food and temporary shelters, to those experiencing homelessness in the Fort Collins community.

Incidents of cheating remain low compared to national rates

By Blake O’Brien @BTweetsOB

The days of writing an answer on a neon sticky note and sliding it to a friend or the classic palm-notepad are long gone.

Despite the array of tech and tools that modern college students have at their disposal and the increasing amount of cheating at universities across the nation, academic misconduct at Colorado State University has been stagnant in recent years.

According to the CSU Student Conduct Code, these cases fall under five categories—cheating, plagiarism, unauthorized possession of academic materials, falsification and facilitation—and the consequence for each ranges from a simple grading penalty to suspension from the University.

Joseph Brown, the director of the Academic Integrity Program at CSU, said there were 373 cases of academic misconduct during the 2017-2018 school year. Only 103 of the cases were deemed serious enough to require a hearing; the other 270 were “documentation only” cases resolved by faculty.

“When you consider how large CSU is by students and the diversity of its academic programs, the reported incidents of academic misconduct are really low,” Brown said. “This is because, unlike other universities, CSU didn’t wait for a huge cheating scandal to attack this issue.”

Instead, he said, CSU hired a

joint task force about 10 years ago to investigate academic misconduct issues and get ahead of them.

It resulted in a collaborative approach to misconduct cases between The Institute for Learning and Teaching and the Student Resolution Center as well as the creation of Brown’s position. In addition to speaking with students about academic misconduct, he coaches faculty about issues and serves as a hearing officer.

“It’s important to have disciplinary action and negative consequences for that behavior, because if they do things like that in the workplace, it’s going to be negative.”

LUMINA ALBERT PROFESSOR OF MANAGEMENT AND ETHICS

First and foremost, CSU expects honesty from its students, Brown said, but professors play a major role in keeping them honest.

One CSU instructor committed to upholding academic integrity is Lumina Albert, a professor of management and ethics in the College of Business.

“It’s very important to establish that (academic misconduct)

is unacceptable at academic institutions,” Albert said. “Also, it’s important to have disciplinary action and negative consequences for that behavior, because if they do things like that in the workplace, it’s going to be negative.”

Albert has only dealt with one major incident of academic misconduct at CSU, but she said that the issue has come up with other professors in the College of Business as recent as last week. Compared to issues like plagiarism, Albert said cheating on exams is more frequent.

Students used to write on their palms or show test answers to their neighbors, as with the case Albert dealt with a few years ago. Today, they are forced to find more creative methods of cheating.

Albert said there was a recent incident within the College of Business where students taking the first section of a course passed their exam answers to students in later sections of the same course.

“It would take you 30 minutes to read through the entire exam or a business case, for example,” she said. “But because students already knew what questions were going to be there and what the answers were, in 5 seconds, they filled it out.”

In her courses, Albert employs specific teaching strategies to limit the potential for academic misconduct. “(Students) have clear guidelines on what they’re going to be tested on: what is the content,

what is the format,” she said.

“They have opportunities to practice so they’re not stressed out and they don’t feel desperate to engage in (academic misconduct).”

Even if a student is stressed out and fearing failure, the consequences of cheating are not worth it, Brown said.

“I get it: failure is unpleasant. Often, though, it’s a valuable teacher in itself,” Brown said. “If a student damages that valuable process by cheating, the impacts are potentially long-term. After all, you’d learn next to nothing from that experience.”

The University offers resources to students who fail courses including the CSU Health Network’s Fail Forward Campaign.

The program—meant for people

who have suffered rejection, disappointment or failure, not just in an academic situation—offers tips and programs for those dealing with these issues mentally.

And while it’s obviously not encouraged, even if a student commits an act of academic misconduct and gets caught, it’s not hopeless for them. Brown said he’s seen students leave the University because of egregious cases of misconduct and return to finish their degree at CSU. “I come to work every day committed to the idea that learning will happen,” he said, “That we have an important role to play in the development of our students, and that mistakes can be pathway to a life-changing education.”

Construction approval process ensures optimal campus buildings

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

Everything’s easier when donors are willing to pay for new buildings.

The capital design and construction approval process were organized for larger construction projects around two years ago by Lynn Johnson, Vice President for University operations, in order to ensure that every idea students, faculty and staff around campus were heard. The approval process includes creating a design, approval from University committees and finding a source of funding.

“When I moved into this role, I got the sense that there was not as much process wrapped around how we went about approving our buildings,” Johnson said. “We were in a situation where program plans were sitting on shelves not really anything happening to them, and I wanted to make sure that if we were going to take staff time and the resources necessary to do a program plan, we’re going to be doing it on projects that we know are going to be going somewhere.”

After a conceptual design and budget are worked through with facilities, the plan is presented to the master plan committee, who think about the campus in its entirety when considering additions, and the space committee, who focuses on what actually goes inside the building. Overall, the committees try to ensure that the location, size and presentation of the new buildings make sense and are up to CSU standards, Johnson said.

“We also have been extremely intentional when it comes to the academic spine,” Johnson said.

“We’re not going to be putting res

Lawsuit >> from page 1 According to the lawsuit, the locker program was a logical addition to the church’s mission.

The battle to get the program functioning has been a long one.

Advocates for the homeless have long urged the City to provide more storage options, specifically for those who needed locker access outside of the weekday business hours the Murphy Center lockers are restricted to.

In the spring of 2017, City Council directed staff to look at options to install 24/7 accessible lockers. According to City documents, the FCMF offered up space outside of their church to host 20 such lockers.

FCMF asked the City for $10,500 to fund the lockers, awnings and one-year of supervi-

halls, auxiliary related, student services for the most part, along with the academic spine unless it’s something that matches up well with where the Lory Student Center is at.”

Although the financial support for the new buildings comes later in the proposal approval process, the proposal group also has to have a plan for funding the renovations.

CONSTRUCTION APPROVAL PROCESS ■ 1. Facilities management devel-

opment of conceptual scope and budget ■ 2. Facilities management: conceptual design ■ 3. Master Plan Committee and Space Committee recommendations ■ 4. Facilities Management cost validation and schedule ■ 5. Plan of financing review ■ 6. President’s Operations Committee for initial approval ■ 7. Program plan and RFP development ■ 8. President’s Operations Committee for final approval

Funding for renovations and new buildings come from multiple places, and sometimes larger projects have multiple sources for funding. Funding can come from the state, donors, general funds like tuition and capital request processes, auxiliary revenue for non-academic buildings and the student

facility fee.

“If we’re good with their funding sources, then we give them the green light to take it to the president’s operation committee for initial approval, and once they get that approval, they can go forward into the program plan,” Johnson said.

“They have to come back through those committees, all of them ... because in that process things change, and they need to get back to the Master Planning and Space Committee and OC and make sure that in fact, everything is still copasetic and they’ve got their funding.”

How the student facility fee is used is determined by a board of students called the University Facility Fee Advisory Board. The projects that UFFAB look at are generally under $2 million, like renovating classrooms or attributes to buildings, and those proj-

ects won’t have to go through the capital design and construction approval process. UFFAB can also contribute an amount under $2 million to larger projects if deemed beneficial to students.

The board is a way for students to impact the state of the University in the long run, said Nick Bohn, a senior business major and vice chair for UFFAB. “UFFAB is honestly one of the most unique opportunities that students have in the entire country,” Bohn said. “It’s a super cool opportunity to be on the board and be a part of the conversations, the discussions and all of the planning, and be able to vote on what you think would have the most impact for students.”

Although students in 2016 have shown a lot of interest in the renovation of the Andrew G. Clark building, it’s not the next building

on the docket, Johnson said. The planning process for renovating Clark has been in the talks, but there are other buildings that need to be renovated first.

The Andrew G. Clark building is structurally sound and there are no safety issues, Johnson said.

Currently, there are other buildings that need more attention due to safety concerns and while one building is being renovated, the other buildings are needed to accommodate the decreased number of classrooms.

“There’s this whole domino effect with planning,” Johnson said.

“We’re trying to be mindful and intentional about what we need to be doing for the University not just today, but 10 to 15 years down the road.”

sion. In January 2018, City staff recommended City Council to not approve any funding for the project which spurred protestors, many of them homeless rights advocates, to show up to Council and ask they reconsider.

The decision was subsequently delayed until February when City Council rejected funding the lockers.

In response, FCMF decided to open a GoFundMe to raise the money themselves.

They achieved their goal and intended to begin the program in June but it was delayed after the City told them they needed to receive Planning and Zoning Board approval for a minor amendment.

The P&Z Board hearing was delayed twice until mid-July.

During that time, an email from City Attorney Carrie Daggett telling staff to take “special care” in discussing the church’s locker program mistakenly made its way to the inbox of Steve Ramer.

“Because the approach be-

ing taken is not quite the same as our usual process, and because the special discussions amongst staff could be used as a basis for arguing that we are treating the Church less favorably than other applicants based on the Church’s religious practices (ministering to the homeless), we need to take special care in how we communicate about it,” Daggett wrote.

This spurred Ramer to bring in the ACLU who issued a letter to Daggett. The ACLU alleged the City was violating the church’s First Amendment rights through a burdensome program approval process and asked the locker program be swiftly approved or risk facing legal action.

The program did get the go-ahead at the eventual P&Z Board hearing. However, the decision was appealed within weeks by several residents and business owners in the church neighborhood, many of whom also spoke against the lockers at the hearing.

FCMF decided to start reg-

istering locker guests and moving them in before the appeal hearing, and it has been running since.

councilmembers unanimously decided to reject the appeal but placed several operating restrictions on the program.

The lockers were no longer allowed to be accessed outside the hours of 6 a.m. - 8 p.m. and during hours of operation, the lockers have to be supervised at all times.

At the time, church members expressed dismay and concern about how their church of roughly 60 members would be able to meet those guidelines with their limited resources.

Although the FCMF can no longer support the locker project, they’re seeking relief from the City’s restrictions in order to keep the locker project going.

Both the plaintiff and the defendant declined to comment as this is an ongoing case.

Updates will be published on collegian.com as soon as they’re available.

Take time to listen to people’s coming out story Katrina Leibee @KatrinaLeibee

As many students are aware, the Lory Student Center is home to the Student Diversity Programs and Services offices, one of which being the Pride Resource Center. A large part of the Pride Resource Center is a group called Visible Voices, which allows students of the LGBTQ community to share their stories and educate others on misunderstood issues regarding the community.

Every student should take the opportunity to talk and learn more about diversity on campus because it allows us to ST view not only this campus, but our surrounding community

1

from a perspective that is not our own.

While some people may have religious or political affiliations that do not support these identities, listening to someone’s coming out story reminds us that no matter our beliefs, we are all people before we are labeled with an identity, and everyone deserves to be heard.

A representative from Visible Voices talked to a few honors students this past week and shared their coming out story, as well as what it means to be apart of Visible Voices and what it is like to be apart of pride on campus.

Anyone can request a panel from Visible Voices on their website, where representatives will share their personal stories and answer questions.

I asked the representative from Visible Voices who we will refer to as *Alex, a student at Colorado State University who wishes to remain anonymous, to share a little bit of their story with students of CSU.

“My mother told me she felt like her daughter had died,” the student said about first telling their parents that they identified as non-binary.

“It was a really dark time for my family.”

“The best way I can describe my life is that I live my life in a gray area. I am out, but I am not out. I have found a lot of joy there, in that gray area.”

ALEX

For some students, coming to college means finally having a place where their identities are accepted, and they are given the resources to explore and embrace who they are. For Alex, college gave them a place to find themselves and create their identity.

“When I got into college, I

found an amazing community in the Pride Resource Center that let me explore how I wanted to look,” the student said. I also got saved at the end of my Freshman year. I became a Christian, but there were many authority figures in the church that still believed that I was not by God’s design, and it in some ways forced me to go back in the closet.”

“The best way I can describe my life is that I live my life in a gray area. I am out, but I am not out. I have found a lot of joy there, in that gray area.

I’ve been given the freedom to be whoever I want to be, without having to conform to either end, neither black nor white.”

When representatives from diversity groups on campus reach out to other students and organizations, it helps connect everybody. Hearing their stories allows students to see beyond a rainbow flag or an office in the LSC, and see real people who have overcome adversity.

I asked Alex: why it is im-

portant for students to hear stories like these? They responded, “There are queer people on this campus who don’t know that they’re not alone. Also, we always say, ‘I’m proud to be a CSU Ram’, but if you aren’t willing to know the stories, and the struggles and the lives of people who are different from you, then you can’t call yourself a part of that community.”

Sometimes, it can feel like the SDPS offices are just rooms in the LSC, but they are full of unique communities of people who all have different backgrounds, different experiences and different stories.

Alex said that hearing coming out stories, “opens up the door to imagine other people(’s) complexly.”

I asked Alex the one thing they want students to know about the LGBTQ community, to which they answered, “We’re just people.”

Students should learn first aid for seizures Kenia Ortiz @Kenia_Ortiz

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by The Collegian or its editorial board.

I was walking to class a couple weeks ago when I felt my head twitching and my body went frigid.

I have gone six years without a seizure. Yet, a seizure could come at any time in my life.

Colorado State University should implement a brief training on what to do when assisting someone who is having a seizure during Ram Orientation.

According to the Epilepsy Foundation, more people live with epilepsy than those who are on the autism spectrum, have Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy combined.

Epilepsy is a disorder in the brain caused by a stroke, a severe brain injury, a brain tumor or a central nervous system infection and characterized by seizures. Although these are some possibilities, there are many times where the cause is unknown.

I have had a history of seizures for almost 10 years. I had my first seizure when I was 11.

As someone who has to take everyday precautions because of my seizures, I have found that there is a lack of education on how to assist someone when they are seizing.

When I go out with a new group of people, when I start a new job or am meeting someone for the first time, I have to inform them on what they should do to assist me. I have learned that there are many common misconceptions of what to do when someone is seizing.

The most important thing to do is to avoid putting anything in the person’s mouth.

Some people believe that by

putting a pencil, a wallet or bar of soap in a person’s mouth while they are seizing, they will keep them from swallowing or biting their tongue off. This is false.

It is physically impossible to swallow one’s tongue. Putting something in their mouth puts the person in danger of swallowing that object instead.

It is also important to not restrain someone who is having a full body seizure. Not all seizures include full body convulsions, but if they do, it is important to leave the person alone. Do not attempt to give mouth-to-mouth to the person and to not try to make the person drink or eat when they wake up.

Stay with the person until they are done seizing. Speak to them calmly and help them sit up. If you experience a stranger, friend or family member seizing, it is important to check if they have a medical bracelet or another form of medical information.

Vaping undermines public health progress

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. Letters to the Editor reflect the view of a member of the campus community and are submitted to the publication for approval.

This is a response to “The crown JUUL on campus: students’ love of e-cigarettes continues at CSU,” published Oct. 22.

As a recent graduate of the School of Public Health at Colorado State University, I want to thank The Rocky Mountain Collegian and reporter Blake O’Brien for publishing a detailed article about vaping.

“The Crown JUUL on Campus: students’ love of e-cigarettes continues at CSU” described many myths that college students may believe about vaping and detailed some of the known health risks associated with using these products.

During my studies at CSU, I completed an internship with the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in Geneva, Switzerland.

I worked with many countries who were a part of this international treaty with their reporting on tobacco control efforts.

I now work on youth tobacco prevention in Larimer County and I have witnessed the rise and popularity of vaping among local youth.

In Larimer County, vaping has surpassed all other forms of tobacco use among high school students and it is the second most tried sub-

stance behind alcohol.

Vaping has the potential to undermine the progress the field of public health has made in reducing death and disease from tobacco addiction. The current generation of youth and young adults in our country have grown-up knowing the health consequences of smoking cigarettes.

Policies like smoke-free places and limits on advertising have further solidified norms about use.

However, electronic vapor products are a trendy way to entice a new generation to nicotine addiction with less regulation.

One of the students interviewed in the Collegian article described being deceived by the flavors, “Even though I know e-cigarettes are unhealthy from research and stuff, it just doesn’t feel as unhealthy because you’re tasting these good flavors”.

According to The Truth Initiative, the tobacco industry uses flavors as a strategy to introduce young people to nicotine. They do this by regularly introducing new and limited-edition flavors, emphasizing flavors in advertisements, and using colorful imagery on packaging.

These flavors help conceal some of the real consequences of using tobacco and nicotine products — including lifelong addiction and associated health problems. In 2009, the Food and Drug Administration banned cigarettes with characterizing flavors other than menthol (e.g., cherry, grape, chocolate), to help curb youth use.

While young people are being tempted by the flavors, technology and innovation of vaping, health

departments and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have issued warnings about use.

The electronic vapor product JUUL works with interchangeable pods and contains as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes, making it highly addictive.

I encourage college students to get the facts about vapor products and their risks. If you’ve never smoked, used other tobacco products or vaping products, please don’t start.

son’s head and make sure they do not hurt themselves with anything while they are seizing. Remove eyeglasses so that there wont be the risk of them breaking and injuring them. Remove anything around their neck that may make it hard for them to breathe.

Most seizures can last from seconds to a couple of minutes and they will end on their own. Majority of seizures do not require a trip to the emergency room. But, this varies from person to person so make sure to ask.

Although it is not common for people to die because of a seizure, The overall risk of dying is 1.6 to 3 times higher in people with epilepsy than in the general population.

People who die during a seizure die because of something that occurs during a seizure. The person can choke on vomit, which is why it is important to turn them on their side. They can drown if they are in a pool when they are seizing, or if seizures occur one right after an-

other, permanent injury or death can occur.

CSU offers resources to those with epilepsy through the Student Disability Center. People with epilepsy are still able to go to class, have fun and have a job so I understand that it is up to the person themself to reach out of they require services.

However, not everyone knows if they are epileptic or not when they come to college. There are people who find out at a young age and some people who go their whole lives without realizing they are epileptic and learn how to take care of themselves if they were to seize.

Seizures are extremely common and on a campus of roughly 30,00 people, students and staff should have the skills necessary to help someone who is seizing. After all, Rams take care of Rams.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Rocky Mountain Showdown carries varied significance for CSU women

By Mack Beaulieu @Mack_Covers

We don’t always believe athletes when they say “it’s just another game,” but Colorado State University’s women’s basketball team has little reason to feel the significance of the Rocky Mountain Showdown rivalry.

With new faces and new starters all around for the Rams’ women’s team, there are only a couple of members you could say this rivalry should have extra significance for, and they’re shrugging it off as best they can. However, even if the names don’t carry significance, the situation does.

“Everyone’s played intense games before.

Every game is a game to improve ourselves” MYANNE HAMM REDSHIRT SOPHOMORE

“To me, it’s just another game and we don’t need to look at it any more than that,” junior Mollie Mounsey said. “It’s a game and we’re going to compete.”

Coach Ryun Williams has only won once against the University of Colorado Boulder, that game went down to the wire in the 2015-2016 season.

It’s a smudge on an otherwise strong record of success for Williams. He said this game is as personal as any other matchup.

“You always want to beat CU,” Williams said. “But it’s always personal, to be honest with you, every game I coach is a personal game. That’s how I look at it.”

It could be for the best that 13 of 14 players on the Rams’ roster weren’t here three years ago for the team’s last win over CU. Most of them didn’t grow up near the rivalry, this could mean a lot less pressure as the Rams go up against one of the best teams they’ll face this season.

The Buff’s have some of the Pac-12’s best guard play at their disposal with First-Team AllPac-12 player senior Kennedy Leonard, honorably mentioned senior Alex Robinson, and defensive stopper junior Quinessa Caylao-Do, who dropped 23 in her last game.

The challenge should provide a great opportunity for the Rams to figure out who’s leading this team, with an entirely new starting line-up and varied skill sets among them.

“We need to grow into some leadership,” Williams said. “It’s a lot of new faces and they’re just figuring out how to play: how to play hard, how to play together. I think everybody needs to just lead themselves and do their job.”

One of the players that Williams did mention as a possible leader of this team is senior Myanne Hamm, who is one of only three players on the team from Colorado and the only one from Fort Collins. As one of only five players on the team that has played against the Buffs and the only one present for a showdown win, she knows more of what to expect.

“We just have to play our strengths and play our truths in who we are,” Hamm said. “We can’t let the distractions get to us, everything’s going to be

wild, sometimes you can’t hear what the coach is saying because it’s so loud. Whoever the five are on the floor, you have to be there with each other.”

Aside from what a win will do in regards to their strength of schedule, that type of atmosphere epitomizes why this game would mean so much for this team. A group of unusually talented journey women and high-level international players could use a game like this to find their chemistry and their roles.

“You can look on paper and we might be inexperienced or

young, but everyone’s come here, and we’re here for a reason,” Hamm said. “Everyone’s played intense games before.

Every game is a game to improve ourselves, we just want to keep getting better with each game and it just happens to be CU this week.”

That’s not a lie because it does just happen to be CU this week. It also just happens to be one of the Rams’ biggest games this season.

Grooming Tip of the Week

Body grooming : the act of hair removal, shaving, shaving, styling or trimming hair of the male body. It is also often referred to as manscaping.

Once an activity limited to the daily morning shave of the face, grooming is now about the whole body from head to toe.

Barbershops that cater to the grooming needs of men have opened up all over the world and offer services in a masculine environment that fights the age-old stigma that waxing and shaving below the neck is just for women.

When it comes to hair on the face and body, there now exists much variation in how and what a man will groom. It’s a personal choice and very individual.

Shaving is the most commonly used hair removal technique. However, shaving is also the most temporary hair removal method since shaving cuts hair at the surface of the skin instead of removing hair by its follicles.

Bottom line here gentlemen, get yourself groomed and you will enjoy life a little better all around. Look Good, Feel Good Gentlemen! A little Barber-love from your neighborhood Barbershops! @sammieslucky27barbershop @ kennedyslucky27barbershop @harperslucky27barbershop

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Focal points for CSU basketball at home against Montana State Eddie Herz @Eddie_Herz

The Colorado State Rams will attempt to conclude their season-opening homestand with a perfect 3-0 record when they square off with the Montana State University Bobcats Wednesday at 7 p.m.

CSU played to the tune of a high-powered, up-tempo offense, as well as an overwhelming defense through two games this season.

The Rams scored 90 points and held both Colorado Christian University and the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff under 70 points to begin the season.

CSU has plenty of reasons to feel good about itself heading into the Wednesday night matchup. The Rams experienced no issues transitioning into new Coach Niko Medved’s style of play.

The Bobcats aren’t off to an ideal start after stumbling to a 13-19 record last season.

The cards are stacked against the visitors in their attempt to break an eight-season streak of finishing at or below .500.

The Bobcats most recently earned their first victory of the season over Presbyterian College after losing to the University of Indiana and Utah State University by an average of 38 points.

Here are the three keys for the Rams to stay undefeated before heading to Fort Myers, Florida for the remaining portion of the 2018 Gulf Coast Showcase.

Create and capitalize on turnovers in transition.

Rebounding and properly utilizing physical advantages fueled the Rams’ stout defense so far this season.

When the Rams have induced turnovers, they have done a nice job of running the floor and scoring in transition.

However, they have not created many turnovers through two games.

Rams’ opponents turned the ball over 16 times this season, which resulted in 24 points for CSU. In terms of their latest opponent, the Bobcats aren’t a great rebounding team. So, expect the Rams to hold a rebounding advantage once again with a tendency to turn the ball over.

The Bobcats accumulated 25 turnovers in an 80-35 blowout defeat against the Hoosiers, taking them out of the game early. Additionally, the offense coughed the ball up 15 times in its only victory of the season

over Presbyterian College. The Bobcats’ lowly opponent only totaled 13 turnovers.

The Rams proved they are more than capable of capitalizing on turnovers in transition.

Now, it would be nice to see them do this in a large quantity against a team who struggles to avoid takeaways.

Limit offensive production from Keljin Blevins and Tyler Hall.

Though the Bobcats struggled early on, problems would be worse if it weren’t for seniors Keljin Blevins and Tyler Hall.

A University of Southern Mississippi transfer, Blevins leads the Bobcats in both scoring (15.7 points per game) and rebounding (eight rebounds per game).

Blevins is Montana State’s best player by a large margin as the forward has also shot over 50 percent from the floor in three games this season.

The next-best Bobcat is Hall. The 6-foot-5 guard is averaging 12.3 points as well as 2.3 assists per game.

The senior duo combine for 44 percent of the Bobcats’ scoring. When these two players are shut down, the Bobcats don’t have many secondary options.

Their depth from last season took a shot when five of their eight leading contributors departed the program.

If the Rams can immediately contain either Blevins or Hall, it will be difficult for the opposition to keep up.

Blevins and Hall each average three turnovers per game,

more than anyone else on the team. So, a relevant way to restrict both players would be to double-team them upon receiving the ball in an attempt to influence a turnover.

Keep the ball rolling. Literally.

Moving the ball around effectively has aided the Rams’ offensive production thus far.

The ball movement has a lot to do with sticking to Medved’s scheme, which encourages multiple players to touch the

ball on as many possessions as possible.

Last season, the Rams combined for 13 assists per game on average. Only one or two players touched the ball in many possessions.

That is not the cases this season. Every player on the floor earns a touch often for CSU. As a result, the Rams have amassed 21 assists in both games this season.

Being able to rotate the ball

efficiently creates space and opportunities to score. If the Rams can do this all season, the offense will be a strong suit. Six different Rams are averaging at least 12 points per game.

Keeping the ball moving and creating good looks from passing the ball at a high rate will be pivotal. Ideally, for Medved, the Rams will continue the trend in every game moving forward.

SPORTS FOR DUMMIES

Men’s, women’s sports have several differences Ashley Potts @ashleypotts09

So far, “Sports for Dummies” has been a simple breakdown of rules and terms that might not make sense if you’re not a “sports person.” This has been a very surface level explanation of basics that might cause weird looks if you asked for clarification in the midst of a rowdy crowd. It has also assumed things are the same across the board, for the sake of keeping things simple.

Unfortunately, sports dummies, things are not as simple as I have tried to make them. The rules I have explained to you thus far have variations. Between high school and college, college and professional, between leagues, between countries and between men’s and women’s sports.

Most of the differences are subtle, and you might not notice them unless you’re paying close attention. For example, women’s basketball is played with a ball that has a circumference that is one inch less than the ball men play with. While both games are the ame length, the women’s game is

more broken up. They play four 10-minute quarters, while the men play two 20-minutes halves.

You might pick up on those things during this weekend’s CSU basketball games.

Soccer is a sport where playing styles are often cited as a big difference between the men’s and women’s game. Especially on a professional level, men are known for “diving,” or making hits look worse than they were in an attempt to draw a penalty call on the other team. Women will very rarely do this and if they do, they won’t commit to it for as long as men’s players before getting back up and continuing to play.

In lacrosse, there are different rules regarding checking for men and women. Men can check, so long as it’s safe, while women are only allowed to check stick to stick and can’t be aggressive. Lacrosse is also a sport where the differences are visibly noticeable. Men’s lacrosse players wear pads and helmets, while women wear goggles and skirts.

Hockey is similar, in that checking is basically not allowed for women. It is acceptable in the men’s game so long as it’s not deemed dangerous or a hindrance to a play, in which case they will

be called for boarding. But women simply aren’t allowed, dangerous or not. While fighting is never technically “allowed” in hockey, it’s something that happens in men’s hockey, but I can’t think of an example of a women’s hockey fight happening ever.

And why bother when you can’t even check someone into the boards to fight for the puck?

This is a big draw to the game of hockey, it’s part of what makes it exciting. Fans absolutely lose it cheering when players slam into the boards in front of their seats.

But that excitement is missing in the women’s game.

There are gender-based differences in the rules of pretty much every sport. I don’t claim to understand the small rules which govern sports like track and field, gymnastics, golf or swimming and diving, but I know they have different standards for men and women.

If you ask me, this is all outdated and rooted in sexist ideas of femininity and women being “more fragile” and “weaker than men.” I think society has given us plenty of examples of this being false, but it’s still built into the foundation of women’s sports.

The effects of rule differences on the popularity and respectabil-

ity of the women’s sports world is a topic for another time, but it is being talked about and has become a topic of research in fields like women’s studies and sociology.

For now, if you notice things like women’s basketball having

quarters and men’s basketball having halves, know you aren’t crazy.

The differences seem subtle, but they’re there, even if the reasoning is questionable.

WHAT’S FOR DINNER WITH AUDREY

5 interesting classes to take next spring Homemade gnocchi keeps you warm in cold weather

By Elena Waldman @Walmanelena

As students prepare for winter break in less than five weeks, they should also be mentally preparing for a new semester of classes. For students dreading the upcoming semester, there may be a few classes that will spice up their studying time.

Here are five classes worth looking for in the spring.

SPCM 350- Evaluating Contemporary film 3 credits Pre-requisite: none.

Your fifth-grade self would fume if they knew you were passing up on an opportunity to watch movies in class. SPCM 350 offers an in-depth analysis of popular blockbusters, independent and micro-budget films. On top of that, the weekly lab consists of watching movies of different genres, from Tommy Wiseau’s hilarious disaster “The Room” to Jordan Peele’s critically acclaimed “Get Out”.

ETST 300- Queer studies and women of color 3 credits Pre-requisite: None.

All students, regardless of their major, should strive to

have some experience in ethnic studies. Intersectionality, an incredibly important and relevant issue today, is emphasized in ETST 300- specifically regarding women of color and their contributions to LGBTQ studies, art and written works.

HORT 328 - Interior plantscaping 3 credits Pre-requisite: BZ 120 or HORT 120.

Everyone loves houseplants.

Interior Plantscaping trains students on the science behind

why we adore little cacti and succulents. In HORT 328, students can learn how to build terrariums, start your own indoor plant business, and build green walls!

PSY 121- Health and the mind 1 Credit Pre-requisite: None.

As school, work and social life get more and more difficult to balance, students can often forget the importance of

putting self-care into the mix.

Though PSY 121 doesn’t focus on self-care, it does focus on mental health and how people can maintain a positive mental state.

MU 232- Soundscapes: Music as human practice 3 credits Pre-requisite: None.

Music is an integral part of cultures all across the globe.

MU 232 explores this by delving into the theory of music and how it has both impacted and been influenced by the human condition. Students from any major who love music can take this course for a more refined understanding of the art form.

AGRI 116 - Plants and civilizations 3 credits Pre-requisite: None.

Ever wonder why there is only one kind of banana in grocery stores and dozens of different apples? Plants and Civilizations unravel all the unique reasons why the foods we eat became the foods we eat. From coffee and tea to psychoactive plants - this course will change the way you browse the grocery store.

Like most college students, I don’t have a ton of time on my hands. But with the free time I do have, I spend it watching cooking videos. Most recently, I watched a video all about Italian gnocchi and developed my own personal take on the potato dumplings.

What’s for dinner: homemade gnocchi with a lemon garlic butter sauce.

INGREDIENTS ■ 3 large russet potatoes

$3.09 5lb bag ■ 1 cup flour $1.89 for 2lb bag ■ 6 tbsp unsalted butter $5.59 for 1 lb ■ 1/2 a lemon $2.99 for 2 lb ■ 1/4 cup Yellow Trail Chardonnay $6.99 per bottle ■ Parmesan $3.49 for 6 oz bag ■ 3 cloves garlic $2.00 for a head ■ Salt and pepper to taste ■ Total $24.15 Directions: 1. Start by boiling the pota-

toes on high heat for 30 minutes, or until tender when punctured with a fork. Set aside in a bowl and cool. When the potatoes are cool to touch, peel of the skins with your hands. I waited about 30 minutes before peeling mine.

2. Use a fork to mash your potatoes. Add salt as desired and incorporate flour gradually.

Knead by hand until the potatoes form a doughy consistency and come together into a ball. If the dough is still pretty sticky, add more flour one tablespoon at a time. Let your dough rest.

3. Bring a quart of water to a boil on high heat. Salt as desired.

4. Put four tablespoons of butter into a pan on medium heat.

5. Peel your garlic cloves.

Take a large knife and lay flat on the side of your garlic. Press down firmly until it pops, and the garlic is open. Repeat with all three cloves.

6. Toss the garlic into the pan with salt and pepper. Add the wine. Yes, Yellow Tail is cheap, but cooking with expensive wine is pointless because it’ll cook off anyway. Add the juice of the lemon, and the remaining butter, and lower the heat to a simmer.

7. Form small balls with your dough. Press a fork into the dumpling to form ridges along one side of the dumpling. This will allow a place for the sauce to cling to. Throw your dumplings into the pot and cover.

When the dumplings float to the top, they are ready to be served.

8. Pour your sauce over the gnocchi dumplings in a bowl, top with parmesan and enjoy!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — 9 — Innovation could get profitable. Don’t forget your regular routines. New ideas don’t always work. Challenge the generally held opinion.

Judge not. Take the ethical high road.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — 9 — Focus on a personal project for a few days. Do it for love, not money. Avoid risky business. Use your power for good. You’re gaining respect.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

— 6 — Slow down to consider a difficult puzzle. Look from another angle. Listen to your dreams. Admit the plan’s impracticalities, and establish backups. Contemplate your next move.

MOVIES & TV

5 movies from 2018 to watch over fall break

By Ty Davis @tydavisacw

Fall break is quickly approaching and that means some time off. So, with a few allotted days of free time, students can kick back and relax and catch up on some things that they might have missed while huddled in the library studying and writing essays.

This year has been a surprisingly good year for movies that can keep you occupied. Everything from new horror movie reboots to epic superhero stories have been showcased this year ,and as a college student, it may have been hard to catch all of

them in theaters.

There are quite a few to choose from and narrowing that list down can be time-consuming, so here are five movies from this year to watch over fall break.

“Black Panther” When observed from the outside, seeing the amount of hype preceding the movie itself can lead someone to question whether the film earned the attention it received. Usually by this time a wave of people would be reflecting on this movie and asking why people were so excited in the first place, or why they didn’t notice some of the finer discrepancies. But, “Black Panther” really is all it was lauded to be and more.

By using the superhero narrative, “Black Panther” not only told a rich a family drama but an insightful socio-political message that also addressed a problem in the very same lore in the film’s source material.

“Solo: A Star Wars Story”

The film’s initial reception became so focused on the box office figures that discussion of it eclipsed any talk of the film’s quality, and subsequently, many did not see it, assuming the failure to meet projections meant it was a bad movie, despite it making millions of dollars. Unfortunately, this caused many to miss a genuinely good addition to the “Star Wars” universe.

“Solo” delivers a fun, spirited, adventure-heist film that is infinitely rewatchable. It’s a fun romp that honestly deserved more than it received.

“Won’t You Be My Neighbor?”

By my own confession, I do not care much for non-fiction in general, nor do I try to review documentaries, if avoidable.

But, “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” is one of the few exceptions to my rule. A brilliantly paced and edited examination of the life of Fred Rogers that at several points brought me and audience members to full tears by the sheer magnitude of the

man’s capacity to spread love.

The film remind us all that we are not only capable of love, but worthy of being loved.

“The Miseducation of Cameron Post” The mark of any worthwhile piece of art is one that occupies your thoughts long after you’ve seen it. “Cameron Post” is that film and it has popped into my mind time and time again. While my initial review was lukewarm, I have since come to thoroughly appreciate the film and its execution. “Cameron Post” is a film that refuses to hold your hand as it walks you through one of the most conflicting, scary and tumultuous times in a young LGBTQ life in one of the most terrifying situations they could be in. This is a film beautiful in its sincere honesty, while terrifyingly brutal in its unflinching depictions and it deserves far more attention than it has received.

“Searching” One of the best movies of this

svp@collegian.com

year, the positive reception of “Searching” dissipated quickly.

Starring John Cho as a father whose daughter has disappeared, the film is shot entirely from the perspective of a computer desktop. Doubling as one of the most interesting filmmaking challenges in recent memory, “Searching” manages to put you through wave after wave of suspense as you (the audience) gradually piece together truth along with Kim, while going through a heart-tugging experience that feels all too familiar.

What you need to know before seeing ‘Fantastic Beasts’

By Peter Sblendorio New York Daily News

The magic is almost back on the big screen.

The second installment to J.K. Rowling’s “Fantastic Beasts” film franchise hits theaters on Friday and moves forward the stories of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston) and the villainous Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp).

It’s been two years since the first movie in the Harry Potter spinoff series came out, so here’s everything you need to know going into “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.”

Where did the last “Fantastic Beasts” leave off?

The first movie in the series, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” introduces Redmayne’s character as a well-intentioned but mistake-prone “magizoologist” who travels around the world making notes about magical creatures for a book he’s writing.

The first film centers on Newt, who is equipped with a briefcase filled with unusual animals, in New York City, where tensions are high in the magic world due to fears about the presence of Gellert Grindelwald, a powerful evil wizard who poses a threat to life as

they know it.

More danger ensues when a young orphan named Credence with suppressed magical abilities becomes an Obscurus—a parasite that manifests in those who don’t use their their magic—after Percival Graves, a high-ranking member of the wizarding congress, fails to make good on his promise to teach Credence how to use his powers.

Credence takes the form of a dark, shadowy figure and wreaks havoc in New York before he is ultimately defeated, and his fate is left uncertain.

The film concludes with Newt using a spell to reveal Grindelwald has used magic to disguise himself as Graves the whole time. Grindelwald is then arrested.

Who exactly is Grindelwald?

Long before Lord Voldemort’s reign of terror, chronicled in the “Harry Potter” books, the ominous Grindelwald was the most evil figure in the wizarding world.

The white-haired character played by Depp made it his mission for wizards to achieve superiority in a world where those with magical powers and those without them lived in harmony.

“The moment has come to take our rightful place in the world where we wizards are free,” Grindelwald says in the

trailer. “Join me, or die.”

The trailer also teases a past connection between Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore, the beloved professor at Hogwarts.

Where does Dumbledore fit into all this?

The new film takes place shortly after the first “Fantastic Beasts,” which is set in the mid-1920s.
