CSU continues to fall prey to conference foe’s game plan of pressure

By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

In a year of constant change due to injuries and a roster overhaul, Colorado State has faced a common foe for much of the year: various alternations of press defense.

The trend continued for the Rams as they hosted the Nevada Wolfpack Wednesday night, falling prey once again to their woes in the face of pressure, 62-

38.

“We’re gonna see (press defense), just that disruption,” Coach Ryun Williams said. “It didn’t keep us from getting good shots ... we’ve gotta convert.”

Hinderances against the Rams’ success on offense have been multi-dimensional. The lack of a facilitating guard, a mass amount of players relegated to the bench by injury or transfer rules and missing open looks have all played a role.

With no imminent aid, Williams has been forced to accept the lulls.

“Experience is so key,” Williams said. “This group is learning experience through making a lot of mistakes, that’s just the way it is. You think (other teams) are feeling sorry for us?

No. Everybody is lined up to run at us right now.”

After multiple years of being among the frontrunners of the conference, Williams has seen the proverbial target on the

team’s back.

“We’ve won a lot of games in this league over the last five years,” Williams said. “They sense that there’s some vulnerability and they’re gonna be lined up. We’ve gotta figure this out and get more competitive.”

After heading into the second quarter tied at 15 apiece, the team accrued only five points in the subsequent period. The culprit was once again a lack of efficiency with the Rams shooting only 15.4 percent in

the frame.

The figure was a far cry from their already seventh-place percentage on the year (38.9) and gave the team a 32-percent mark from the field in the game’s first 20 minutes.

Among the rubble prior to the intermission, Mollie Mounsey once again encountered a spree of misses, failing to convert a single one of her eight first-half attempts.

Nick’s Italian feeds furloughed federal employees, families

By Ravyn Cullor @RCullor99

As the federal government shutdown entered its 33rd day on Tuesday, Nick’s Italian on South College Avenue offered a free dinner for furloughed federal employees and their families, as long as they could show their government ID.

“We almost were thinking on Monday, ‘What if it’s kind of a dud? What if nobody really sees it?’ But the word spread like wildfire and we sold out the whole restaurant in a matter of 24 hours.”

NICK DOYLE NICK’S CO-OWNER

“We just wanted to give federal employees a bit of respite from not having a job for a while and just have them come in and have a little fun with their families and have some dinner,” said Nick’s co-owner Nick Doyle. “We just wanted to do

something for these folks.”

Doyle said the idea came when the restaurant’s executive chef, Brian Shaner, approached Doyle and his business partner about doing something for the federal employees who have been without pay for over a month. He said the idea to offer free meals, in particular, came from a story he heard about a famous Washington D.C. chef, Jose Andres, feeding federal employees.

Most of the federal employees who came to Nick’s on Tuesday night declined to comment, due to federal rules on talking to the press, but many said they were grateful to Nick’s for putting on the event for both federal employees and their families.

“We really appreciate Nick’s doing this,” said one anonymous federal employee who came to eat with his young daughter. “We’ve had to cut down on going out, so this is a real treat. What a great thing to do.”

The entire event was planned and announced through Nick’s social media on Monday.

“We almost were thinking on Monday, ‘What if it’s kind of a dud?

What if nobody really sees it?’”

Doyle said. “But the word spread like wildfire and we sold out the whole restaurant in a matter of 24 hours.”

Doyle said around 140 federal employees and their families made

reservations for Tuesday night, taking up more than 75 percent of their capacity and filling the restaurant for most of the night.

Although the exact number of affected federal workers in Larimer County is unknown, previous reports from the Coloradoan estimated there were about 2,600 in 2013.

New Belgium Brewing Company donated a keg, Doyle said, and a

number of other individuals and groups reached out to see how they could help. Because of the short notice, much of the offered help could not be used, but tentative plans for an off-site buffet style event with other restaurants have been discussed if the federal shutdown continues for an extended period of time.

Nick’s gave the free meals to the federal employees and their families as a donation to the communi-

ty, Doyle said, and didn’t know what to do with the offered financial donations from those supporting the event.

“It was a bit overwhelming, the response that we’ve gotten and the thank you’s that we’ve gotten, and a lot of people wanted to know how they could help out,” Doyle said.

“We’re just doing the right thing and helping the community.”

Venezuela now has two presidents; how long will the uncertainty last?

By Jim Wyss & Carlos Camacho Miami Herald

Raising his right hand before a cheering crowd of supporters, Juan Guaido declared himself interim president of Venezuela, called for new elections and put himself on a collision course with Nicolas Maduro, the country’s beleaguered but still powerful leader.

Guaido, the 35-year-old president of the National Assembly, said it was his constitutional duty to take the reins of the troubled country even as he acknowledged his act of defiance “would have consequences.”

Asked if he feared going to jail, as countless other political leaders have, Guaido said, “I’m not worried about that, I’m worried about our people who are suffering.”

“The longer Maduro is unable to deliver a swift response to this move, the more doubts will grow within the military that (Maduro’s) not really the president.”

PHIL GUNSON SENIOR ANALYST WITH THE CRISIS GROUP

Within minutes of declaring himself president, the White House recognized Guaido’s authority.

“The people of Venezuela have courageously spoken out against Maduro and his regime and demanded freedom and the rule of law,” President Donald Trump said in a statement.

“I will continue to use the full weight of United States economic and diplomatic power to press for the restoration of Venezuelan democracy.”

A senior administration official, who spoke on background said that if “Maduro and his cronies choose to respond with violence” or harm members of Venezuela’s congress, “all actions are on the table.” And he said that the economic and diplomatic measures taken thus far “barely scratched the surface” in terms of what’s possible.

Guaido’s bold move shoves Venezuela — already reeling from economic, social and political turmoil — into uncharted territory. As of Wednesday, Brazil, Canada, Colombia and Peru had joined Washington in recognizing Guaido. But Maduro still has powerful allies, including Russia, China and Turkey.

Guaido’s actions seem de-

signed to force a fierce reaction from Maduro, said Phil Gunson a senior analyst with the Crisis Group based in Caracas.

“The longer Maduro is unable to deliver a swift response to this move, the more doubts will grow within the military that (Maduro’s) not really the president,” Gunson said.

But he dismissed the idea that Guaido could effectively function as a parallel president.

Unless the young leader sees support from the military or other sectors that hold the levers of power he’s likely to end up in exile or in jail, Gunson said.

It’s unclear what Maduro’s next move is, but the country’s Supreme Court last week declared that the entire leadership of congress, including Guaido, was illegal. And Maduro hasn’t hesitated to arrest or sideline politicians who defied him in the past.

Maduro claims he won a May 10 election that gives him the right to rule the country until 2025. The National Assembly argued that the race was plagued by fraud, that the vote was illegitimate and that the presidency has been “vacant” since Maduro began his second term on Jan. 10.

Who wins that argument will likely have more to do with the power on the street than constitutional law.

Wednesday’s march was a good sign for the opposition, as hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps more, crowded the streets in the capital city of Caracas and other locations. But Guaido said they needed to keep up the pressure to create lasting change.

“Those who have usurped the symbols of power believe, their calculations are, that the pressure will ease on the streets and that we’ll grow tired,” said Guaido, suggesting change might not happen immediately.

“We will keep insisting until we have democracy and freedom.”

Large anti-government protests in 2014 and 2017 began with much enthusiasm but fizzled out after months and at the cost of hundreds of dead.

By Wednesday afternoon, plumes of smoke were rising over Caracas and local TV showed pictures of overturned vehicles set on fire, likely harbingers of another restless, violent, night ­— the third this week.

Earlier in the day, as crowds gathered in Sucre, in eastern Caracas, city council member Juan Carlos Vidal said violent clashes overnight with police had some protesters wary of taking the street, but they had still showed up in force.

“This is a river of people,”

he said, as the throngs blew horns and waved tri-color flags.

“We’re hoping to see the people come out like never before.”

He also called on one-time supporters of the ruling party, or Chavistas, to join the protest.

“At this moment, on this historic occasion, we extend our hand to Chavistas who want to join us,” he said. “We welcome them with an embrace and all are welcome, because Venezuela needs them to rebuild.”

But in a country where your political allegiance can determine whether or not you have access to subsidized food and other government benefits, some are still wary.

Miguel Perez took the subway from his home in Catia, a government stronghold, to protest in eastern Caracas, away from prying eyes. Asked what he was protesting, he said “everything,” including the economic chaos that has forced more than 3.3 million Venezuelans to flee in recent years.

“I am protesting because I want to see my family reunit-

ed,” he said, fighting back tears.

“And so that no other family has to go through what I’ve gone through.”

“I am protesting because I want to see my family reunited. And so that no other family has to go through what I’ve gone through.”

MIGUEL PEREZ PROTESTOR

While the protesters in Sucre were allowed to gather peacefully, there were reports that other rallying points had been dispersed with tear gas early Wednesday.

The Venezuelan Observatory for Social Conflict, which tracks protests, said that there were at least 61 neighborhoods racked by demonstrations in Caracas overnight Tuesday and that at least one person had died. Notably, the protests

hit areas once considered government bulwarks in western Caracas, like the 23 de Enero and Petare neighborhoods. And that’s fueling expectations that Wednesday’s marches could have broad support from Venezuela’s working class barrios.

Local media reported as many as eight deaths as of Wednesday afternoon. Protesters also reportedly destroyed a statue of Hugo Chavez — the socialist firebrand and Maduro’s mentor — in the town of San Felix in eastern Venezuela.

Maduro held his own rally Wednesday afternoon in downtown Caracas. State-run television showed crowds of red-clad supporters waving flags and chanting slogans.

The lingering question: How long will the uncertainty last?

“This movement is unstoppable,” Guaido said. “Because hope has returned here today ... with the certainty that change is coming and the faith that it will happen soon.”

Cohen delays congressional testimony, citing threats from President Trump

Collegian.com for more!

By Chris Megerian Los Angeles Times

President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, postponed his scheduled appearance on Capitol Hill, citing “ongoing threats” from Trump and spurring Democrats to suggest they might issue a subpoena to force his hotly anticipated testimony.

A subpoena would aggressively signal Democrats’ intention to investigate the president and his inner circle. It could also, however, put them at cross purposes with federal prosecutors, who have relied on Cohen as a witness and may want to restrict his public testimony.

Cohen’s announcement Wednesday came in a statement by his spokesman, Lanny Davis. It said Cohen, who has been at the center of criminal investigations involving the president, was withdrawing from a Feb. 7 hearing of the House Oversight Committee over threats from Trump and the president’s lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York mayor.

“This is a time where Mr. Cohen had to put his family and their safety first,” Davis said.

Davis also said Cohen’s lawyers urged a delay because of his “continued cooperation with ongoing investigations.” Cohen “looks forward to testifying at the appropriate time,” Davis added.

Trump brushed off the suggestion that he had threatened Cohen.

“He’s only been threatened by the truth,” he told reporters at the White House.

Since Cohen’s congressional appearance was announced this month, Trump and his allies have repeatedly insulted him as a liar and claimed he was covering up criminal activity by his father-inlaw, Fima Shusterman, who immigrated to the U.S. from Ukraine.

Giuliani said in a recent CNN appearance that Shusterman may have ties to organized crime and Cohen was afraid to testify against him. He did not offer evidence to back that accusation, and Shusterman has not been charged with any crime.

Democrats accused the president of interfering with a congressional investigation.

“Any kind of intimidation is unacceptable,” Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, D-Md., chairman of the House Oversight Committee, told reporters on Capitol Hill. “Any kind of threats are unacceptable. We simply will not have it.”

Cohen is scheduled to start his three-year prison sentence for various crimes, some involving Trump, on March 6. However, Cummings said his committee could have U.S. marshals bring Cohen to Congress for his testimony.

Cummings would not say

whether Cohen would face a subpoena, but several Democrats said they would support one if necessary.

“I do believe the president has created a climate of intimidation,” said Rep. Gerald E. Connolly, D-Va., a member of the Oversight Committee. “I don’t think the president has directly threatened him, but I think he has enabled a very toxic climate that can affect people like Michael Cohen.”

In addition to Democrats’ push for Cohen to testify publicly, the House Intelligence Committee also wants to interview him behind closed doors.

“We’ve given Michael Cohen a date that we’d like him to come in either voluntarily or, if necessary, by subpoena,” Rep. Adam B. Schiff, D-Calif., the panel’s chairman, told CBS on Sunday.

Wednesday’s controversy added another layer of drama to Cohen’s saga, which has seen him transform from one of Trump’s most passionate defenders to one of his greatest threats. He’s said that “blind loyalty” to Trump led him down a dark path, and he appeared eager to share his story.

“Time and time again I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds,” Cohen said in court at his sentencing hearing in December, referring to Trump.

He has pleaded guilty to nine crimes, including campaign finance violations for arranging election-year hush-money payments to women who said they had affairs with Trump years ago. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan, who have been handling the case, said Trump ordered the illegal scheme.

Cohen also admitted to lying to Congress about his pursuit of a Trump Tower Moscow project during the presidential campaign.

He has been cooperating with the Russia investigation led by special

counsel Robert S. Mueller III. BuzzFeed News recently reported that Trump ordered Cohen to lie to Congress, an allegation denied by the president’s legal team.

Mueller’s spokesman, Peter Carr, also released a rare statement saying the BuzzFeed report did not accurately reflect evidence collected by the special counsel’s office.

It’s unlikely that lawmakers would have the chance to question Cohen about that allegation. Davis said Cohen did not want to answer questions about issues involving the Russia investigation, and Democrats have said they do not want to interfere with Mueller’s inquiry.

Trump has repeatedly said that Cohen lied about him in hopes of getting a reduced sentence. More recently, in the aftermath of the announcement that his former aide would testify publicly, he’s suggested that Cohen’s father-in-law should be investigated.

“Watch father-in-law!” he tweeted last week.

Trump told Fox News on Jan. 12 that Cohen was lying about him to get a reduced sentence.

“But he should give information maybe on his father-in-law, because that’s the one that people want to look at,” he said.

At the time, top Democrats issued a joint statement warning about the president’s comments.

“Our nation’s laws prohibit efforts to discourage, intimidate or otherwise pressure a witness not to provide testimony to Congress,” said Cummings, Schiff and Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

Giuliani said Trump’s comments did not represent an attempt to obstruct a congressional investigation.

“It’s defending yourself,” he said on CNN. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Trump retreats as Pelosi delays State of Union

By Eli Stokols & Jennifer Haberkorn Los Angles Times

President Donald Trump made a rare public retreat Wednesday after trying to defy Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s request that he delay delivering his State of the Union address in the House next week until the government is reopened.

Trump began the day on offense, sending Pelosi a letter saying he intended to give the nationally televised speech “on location” as planned, despite her recommendation.

The speaker quickly countered with a blunt refusal, making explicit what she had previously sought to convey more diplomatically. The House “will not consider a concurrent resolution authorizing the President’s State of the Union address in the House Chamber until government has opened,” she wrote him.

For a few hours, their conflicting statements threatened to escalate what already has been an acrimonious, month-old standoff over Trump’s demand for a border wall into a balance-of-powers showdown between the heads of the executive and legislative branches.

But after a brief stare-down, Trump blinked. A visibly frustrated president said he would find some “alternative” to a speech in the House chamber before members of Congress, the Supreme Court, military leaders and foreign diplomats.

“Nancy Pelosi — or Nancy, as I call her — she doesn’t want to know the truth,” Trump said to reporters at the White House. “I think that’s a great blotch on the great country we all love.”

A speaker’s authority over the House is such that the president picked a fight he probably couldn’t win when he sent his letter.

“There are no security concerns regarding the State of the Union address,” Trump had written her, contradicting her reason for recommending postponement. Referring to her initial invitation on Jan. 3, he added, “I will be honoring your invitation ... to deliver important information to the people and the Congress of the United States of America regarding the State of our Union.”

Their back-and-forth came amid increasing frustration on Capitol Hill as the partial government shutdown over Trump’s demand for $5.7 billion for a southern border wall reached 33 days with no end in sight.

Democrats argue that during the shutdown, business as usual — such as the annual State of the Union speech — cannot be conducted. Republicans say the impasse makes it especially import-

ant to hear from the president.

The Constitution does not mandate that the president deliver an annual address to the legislative branch, a tradition that began under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, but says only that he “shall from time to time” report to Congress on the state of the nation and recommend any measures to take.

Also, the House and Senate each must approve a resolution allowing him to speak to a joint session — a requirement that reflects the constitutional separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches.

Historically, Congress has jealously guarded its prerogatives.

Pelosi controls the chamber and has the authority to shut off the lights or the television cameras or potentially even have Trump physically blocked from entering the House.

“The speaker controls the House chamber — and that’s lights, security, locked doors, cameras, audience,” said Rep. Gerald E. Connolly, D-Va. “We are a separate but coequal branch of government. We are not an extension of the executive office. I would hope Mr. Trump doesn’t test that constitutional principle.”

Such a standoff between a speaker and president would

have been unprecedented. One of Pelosi’s Democratic allies issued a warning to Trump on the issue: “No one in America should underestimate Nancy D’Alesandro Pelosi,” said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York.

“The speaker controls the House chamber — and that’s lights, security, locked doors, cameras, audience.

We are a separate but coequal branch of government. We are not an extension of the executive office. I would hope Mr. Trump doesn’t test that constitutional principle.”

REP. GERALD E. CONNOLLY (D-VA)

Trump, asked earlier about Pelosi’s response during an unrelated event at the White House, said, “I’m not surprised. It’s really a shame what’s happening with the Democrats. They’ve become

radicalized.”

In his letter, Trump referred to Pelosi’s initial Jan. 3 invitation to speak on Jan. 29, while ignoring her Jan.16 follow-up message requesting that, given the ongoing shutdown, he either postpone the annual address or submit his remarks in writing.

“I look forward to seeing you on the evening of January 29th in the chamber of the House of Representatives,” Trump wrote.

“It would be so very sad for our Country if the State of the Union were not delivered on time, on schedule and, very importantly, on location!”

By late afternoon, after Pelosi had rebuffed him, Trump seemed resigned to finding an alternative venue or perhaps not giving a speech at all. “We’ll do something in the alternative,” he told reporters. “We’ll be talking to you about that at a later date.”

One possible option: West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice, a Republican ally, said that he has invited Trump to deliver the speech from the state Capitol in Charleston, “in a state full of people who love their country.”

As Trump groused to reporters about Pelosi’s decision, he repeatedly mischaracterized her position, asserting that she “canceled” his address when she pro-

posed to postpone it.

“She just went out and said, ‘Let’s cancel’ — for the first time in the history of our country — ‘Let’s cancel the State of the Union address,’” he said. “And it’s a disgrace.”

Trump also claimed that the impasse is having a political toll for Democrats. “What’s going on in that party is shocking,” he said.

“I know many people that were Democrats and they’re switching over right now, they’re switching over quickly.”

In fact, recent polls show the shutdown hurting the president.

His approval rating dropped 8 percentage points in the last month, to 34 percent from 42 percent in December, according to a survey for the Associated Press and NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

That poll and others show that the shutdown and Trump’s proposed wall are unpopular with a majority of Americans, and that he gets significantly more blame than Democrats for the impasse.

A survey for CBS News showed that by a 71 percent-to-28 percent margin, Americans say a border wall is not worth shuttering the government.

US Court of Appeals to hear Colorado lawmaker electoral college law challege wants to ban cell phone

By Elise Schmelzer The Denver Post

Three Colorado electoral college voters who argued that their constitutional rights were violated when they were forced to vote against their conscience in the 2016 presidential election will get their day in a federal appeals court Thursday.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit will hear arguments in the case of the three “faithless electors” and determine whether Colorado’s law that requires electors choose the same candidate selected by the popular vote is constitutional. Attorneys for the electors — who wished to cast their votes for someone other than Hillary Clinton in an attempt to bar Donald Trump from the presidency — argued that the U.S. Constitution protects electors’ right to vote their conscience.

Colorado’s federal district court dismissed the group’s lawsuit in April and the judge said that the plaintiffs were asking the court to “strike down Colorado’s elector statute that codifies the historical understanding and long-standing practice of binding electors to the people’s vote, and to sanction a new system that would render the people’s vote merely advisory.”

But the electors’ attorney, Jason Harrow of the nonprofit Equal Citizens, said he expects the appeals court judges to look at the case differently.

The appeals court previously considered a separate but related issue when two of the

electors asked the judges to unbind their vote, which the court declined.

Harrow saw hope in the judges’ decision, which suggested that it may be unconstitutional for a secretary of state to remove an elector for voting against the popular vote. Two of the three judges who issued that decision will hear the oral arguments in the lawsuit Thursday, Harrow said.

MORE INFORMATION ■ In 2016, then-Secretary of State

Wayne Williams replaced an elector, Michael Baca, from Colorado’s electoral college because he refused to vote for Hillary Clinton.

■ The lawsuit argues that Williams

violated electors’ rights to vote their conscience when he removed Baca and forbade them from casting their votes for anyone other than Clinton, who won the state’s popular vote.

■ The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit will determine whether Colorado’s law that requires electors choose the same candidate selected by the popular vote is constitutional.

“We think they meant what they said,” he said.

The lawsuit stemmed from the 2016 electoral college vote that became unexpectedly chaotic after then-Secretary of State Wayne Williams replaced an elector, Michael Baca, because he refused to vote for Clinton. Baca attempted to vote for former Ohio Gov. John

Kasich as part of a nationwide attempt to convince Republican electors to cast their vote for a different, non-Trump Republican.

The movement urged Democrat electors to pledge their votes to a Republican, like Kasich, in hopes that Republican electors would follow suit, depriving Trump of the 270 electoral votes necessary to become president. The effort failed.

The lawsuit representing Baca and two other electors, Polly Baca and Robert Nemanich, argues that Williams violated electors’ rights when he removed Baca and forbade them from casting their votes for anyone other than Clinton, who won the state’s popular vote. Williams also referred Baca to then-Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman for criminal investigation. Coffman declined to file charges.

Polly Baca and Nemanich followed state law and voted for Clinton but later said they would have cast their vote otherwise if not forced to vote for Clinton.

The case could also become a good candidate for the U.S Supreme Court, Harrow said.

The highest court has never considered whether electors are required to follow the direction of the popular vote.

“This question is unresolved, which is kind of remarkable considering there’s 200 years of constitutional law,” he said. “It goes to the very structure of what our electoral system is.”

use while driving

By Nic Garcia The Denver Post

Colorado lawmakers are expected to start debate this week on whether to expand the state’s prohibition on cell phone use while driving.

“Distracted driving is dangerous, careless, imprudent behavior, and it is nearly impossible to not be distracted while physically holding your phone.”

LOIS COURT DENVER DEMOCRATIC SENATOR

State law currently only forbids drivers under the age of 18 from using electronic devices while driving. The proposed law, sponsored by Denver Democratic Sen. Lois Court, would extend the law to all ages. However, hands-free devices would be allowed under the new law.

“Distracted driving is dan-

gerous, careless, imprudent behavior, and it is nearly impossible to not be distracted while physically holding your phone,” Court said in a statement. “This bill is about ensuring public safety and encouraging safe driving. It does that by making it illegal to physically hold your cell phone while driving, although drivers can still use their phones with hands-free technologies.”

As written, the fines for using a cell phone for driving would be $300 on the first offense and $500 on the second.

The use of cell phones while driving has been linked to a higher rate of car accidents. According to an AAA study released earlier last year, drivers using cell phones are up to eight times more likely to be involved in a crash than drivers who aren’t using their phone.

The first hurdle for the bill is clearing the Senate’s Transportation and Energy Committee, which is scheduled to meet Thursday morning after the upper chamber adjourns for the day.

We need to include everyone in political discourse Abby Vander Graaff @abbyym_vg

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.

Bipartisan. Filibuster. Gerrymander. Do you know what these words mean? Could you explain them to a five-yearold? Do you know more obscure terms, such as “fishing expedition,” “muckraker” or “pork barrel”?

Those of us who graduate will join the record-breaking 33.4 percent of Americans who have obtained a Bachelor’s degree or higher, according to the 2016 U.S. Census. As students, we have overwhelming amounts of influence and opportunity that we share with a small fraction of the population.

But can you define each of the terms I listed above?

The words we use to talk about politics have become as complex as politics itself.

Together, as Colorado State University undergrads, we make up over 25,000 students.

We possess an opportunity to

acquire knowledge that many people around us do not. As college students — and hopefully as graduates — we will make more money than others, and we already have a large sway at the polls.

In the last midterm election, 67 percent of young people swayed the vote in favor of Democratic candidates, according to the Pew Research Center.

According to an article from the Association of American Colleges and Universities, scholars Delli Carpini and Keeter note that the political knowledge of college graduates today matches that of high school graduates in the 1940s.

If we, the educated population, can’t swallow all of the jargon and intricacies of our political world, we cannot logically expect those who did not or will not attend college to do so.

Between the turmoil at the U.S.-Mexico border, gun violence and more than a smattering of other issues plaguing our nation, we need all the new ideas we can get — especially while our politicians rest during the government shutdown.

The gap in political language should not stop valuable community members from chiming in to necessary con-

temporary political discourse.

If people don’t understand the words we use to talk about important issues, an unfortunate many of which are matters of life and death, how are they supposed to understand the dynamics of these issues?

“If we, the educated population, can’t swallow all of the jargon and intricacies of our political world, we cannot logically expect those who did not or will not attend college to do so.”

Many probably don’t.

Politics is confusing. Even the word is confusing—a singular noun that sounds like a plural. Our nation’s political discourse is filled with idioms and historical references that make it exclusive, like an inside joke at which only our nation’s elites are laughing.

An atmosphere where so much of our population is more or less “out of the loop” makes it easy to give up trying, and easy to ignore politics. It makes it easy to become apa-

thetic.

In today’s political climate, it is easy to perceive false enemies and to forge yourself as one of them.

The controversy surrounding the Covington Catholic High School students and their alleged harassment of a Native American elder during an indigenous rights movement is a perfect example of this. Some believe the students were chanting a school cheer to overcome insults being hurled at them in contradiction to the “Make America Great Again” hats they were wearing. Others insist their shouting was a mockery of a Native American man who was playing a drum in an effort to diffuse the situation.

No matter their intention, the white students possibly were oblivious to the controversy they were inviting by wearing the Make America Great Again hats to an event focused on the rights of indigenous peoples.

An individual or group’s failure to understand the increasingly complex maze of political correctness can cause them to offend someone even when the conversation began with the purest of intentions, and these conflicts can be hard to come back from.

Often times it is easier to

stay angry, stay in conflict and ignore all new information in order to do so, even if it takes spreading misinformation.

Let’s not help people who do this, whether they intend to or not, by isolating them even more with pretentious vocabulary.

“An individual or group’s failure to understand the increasingly complex maze of political correctness can cause them to offend someone even when the conversation began with the purest of intentions.”

There must have been a time when people compromised and things worked.

But we can’t work together without including everyone.

Martin Luther King Jr. said it best: “We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”

Men should share more of the burden of pregnancy prevention 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.

For most women of reproductive age, birth control is part of their daily lives.

A quick crash course in the female reproductive system from AmericanPregnancy.org shows that roughly each month, one egg is made available for fertilization for an average of two days. This means that women are typically only able to become pregnant 24 days per year.

And this doesn’t last forever.

Women only have so many years of fertility before their egg production drops off, and eventually ceases.

What about men? They’re fertile 24/7, 365 days a year. Hypothetically, a man could get a new woman pregnant every day of the week. Their sperm doesn’t necessarily have an expiration date, meaning they have potentially 50 or more years worth of opportunities to impregnate women.

Access to birth control is a direct representation on our values of women and men’s reproductive and recreational activities. We don’t care if women are overburdened, so long as men can orgasm when they choose.

Women are burdened by pregnancy prevention while men can get Viagra delivered directly to their door, yet a comparable amount of effort has not been put into a mainstream version of male contraception.

There are a plethora of options for female birth control. The pill, implant, IUD, shots and patches are some of the most common.

What these have in common is they require some sort of consultation or prescription with a medical doctor. Based on the immense burden put on women to prevent pregnancy, you would think the services would be well-funded and readily available, but we know that this is not the case.

Let’s also not forget the myriad of side effects like nausea, migraines, weight gain and mood swings. Despite these deterrents, women are almost always willing to take on this responsibility. If they don’t, who will?

Women have been conditioned to believe that these side effects are just part of their responsibility as child-bearers, as if it’s something they can do on their own. A report from National Public Radio states that male birth control was trialed by the World Health Organization but was cut short when multiple men dropped out of the study due to—wait for it—the side effects.

These side effects included but were not limited to acne, depression, mood swings and weight gain — the same things women have been forced to deal with for years.

The only difference is that men have a chance to decide they don’t want to participate.

While birth control is technically available, it can require a substantial amount of time and effort to get access to it. Even if a woman were to get as far as a prescription, whether or not she can afford it is the immediate question.

Someone reading this might say that men do indeed have a form of birth control: condoms.

Everyone loves condoms. They’re cheap, efficient, easy to come by and have nearly zero side effects.

Not only do they protect from unwanted pregnancies, but sexually transmitted infections as well.

The convenience is unmatched. Aside from condoms, the other option is a vasectomy.

How is it that we’ve found nearly

NOPE

&

any way to control a woman’s body and reproductivity, but have barely put any effort into creating multiple options for men?

This has always been the case.

But those with the power to make decisions regarding reproductivity seem to conveniently forget that a woman cannot become pregnant unless a man orgasms. A man theoretically has a larger fertility window than women from puberty to death.

Think about it: When a woman orgasms, she won’t become pregnant. You need sperm for that. We tend to villanize women’s sexual pleasure, conveniently forgetting that it is not the catalyst for unwanted pregnancies and abortions.

It’s evident that women are forced to take on most of the responsibility when it comes to family planning. According to WebMD, this is in part due to the lack of reproductive services geared towards men.

Sexual health clinics, obstetricians, hospitals and family planning have almost always been focused on women. Similarly, staff is usually female, and there is little training on male reproductivity.

Colorado State University is lucky to have the Health and Medical Center which provides condoms free of charge and has a fully functioning women’s clinic. However, consultations for birth control are specifically geared towards women. The Health Center could do a better job of giving men more options to understand reproductive safety and health.

This does not need to be an issue that divides men and women.

In an era focused so much on promoting and increasing equality, we should view this as a reason and opportunity to come together and change the culture surrounding reproductive responsibility.

Waking up late is inevitable as a college student, but wouldn’t it be nice to sleep through an alarm only to realize that you are a short ten minutes away from campus? No class is too far when you are living at Ram’s Village.

If you decide to hop on the bus at one of the seven stops on our property, you are no more than eight minutes away from the LSC – right in the center of campus. Or, if you decide to bike, you will arrive in even less time. If you live on our west side, simply bike down Elizabeth and it is a straight shot to the Morgan Library.

Do you live on the east side? Bike down Plum, cross Shields, and you’re already to the Moby Arena. Are you walking to campus to meet some friends for lunch? Leave fifteen minutes before and you will beat any of your friends living elsewhere.

Signing a lease at Ram’s Village is like a present from you to you. Wake up later, get on a later bus, bike a shorter length – the possibilities are endless.

SPORTS FOR DUMMIES

The good, the bad and the ugly with Gritty Ashley Potts @ashleypotts09

Unless you’ve been living off the grid for the last few months, you have heard of Gritty. Whether that’s because you like the Philadelphia Flyers or not is another question.

The hairy, dead-eyed, Cheeto dust-colored monster was created as a mascot for Philly’s less-than-successful ice hockey team. But I’d wager most sports dummies weren’t entirely aware of that, because Gritty has become a meme reaching far beyond sports.

“As a mascot for a sports team, he has more than done his job. He has drawn an incredible amount of attention to a team no one has paid much attention to in years. ” Gritty is aptly named for the city his team represents. His official bio says he’s earned his name “for possessing an attitude so similar to the team he follows.”

The Flyers, and Philly in general, seem to pride themselves

on being tough—in an abrasive, but somehow still endearing way.

Gritty capitalizes on that as well as millennial self-deprecating humor.

That is where Gritty transcends just being another mascot and becomes a full-blown cultural phenomenon.

I genuinely can’t decide whether I passionately hate Gritty or find him brilliant and relatable. And, from what I can tell, I’m not alone. I ran a poll on Twitter and the results were 55 percent for loving Gritty and 45 percent for hating him, so it seems like we’re all conflicted.

I get the whole being-yourselfand-not-being-sorry-for-it thing.

I’m here for it. I get that we live in a confusing time and we all have some pent up aggression we are trying to express. I get that telling your rival to “sleep with one eye open” is funny and engaging in a way that public relations usually doesn’t allow. I get being gritty and tough and standing up for yourself.

Again, here for it. It all makes perfect sense, and it’s relatable.

As a mascot for a sports team, he has more than done his job. He has drawn an incredible amount of publicity to a team no one has paid much attention to in years. He has grown a huge amount of social media engagement in a short amount of time, so much so that he’s almost a weird influencer. The team behind this mascot should be proud.

But, I still kind of hate him.

He’s creepy. Some of the things I’ve seen Gritty-ified truly haunt me:

The National Hockey League Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty poses for a portrait. PHOTO COURTESY OF

GRITTY NHL TWITTER

the remake of the Kim Kardashian PAPER magazine photo especially.

It’s kind of like watching your dad become a meme; it’s just uncomfortable.

The thing about Gritty that I hate isn’t really about Gritty at all, though. I hate the attention span and attention capacity of people.

It’s fad culture.

Only a few things can hold our attention for a very short amount

of time. I hope, for the Flyer’s sake, that Gritty is more than just a fad, but I’m not holding my breath for them.

Mascots have been around, being silly and causing trouble, for as long as most major sports have been around (#29Mascots). But how many other mascots can you name? Other than the terrfying googly eyes, I don’t see what’s so special about Gritty.

I think what saves him for me is that he embodies what this column is supposed to be about: making sports inclusive and fun for everyone, even if you aren’t a sports buff.

So, even if you know nothing about hockey and Philadelphia, you can enjoy Gritty. Even if he gives me nightmares.

Liam Millar plays tough, tenacious despite height

By Ryan Loberger @LobergerRyan

At the Edora Pool Ice Center in Fort Collins on Saturday night, the Rams are five minutes into the opening period of a game against the University of Arkansas . It’s a power play opportunity for the Rams as they work the puck around the circles looking for a shooting lane.

Sophomore forward Liam Millar is planted in front of the Razorback net; he’s listed at 5 feet 7 inches and 150 pounds, so this is not the ideal place for a small forward. He presents his stick for a deflection, a shot finds its way through a sea of bodies, the puck ramps off Millar’s stick and clanks off the left post.

Millar would go on to draw two penalties and create numerous scoring chances for the Rams, who would fall 3-2 to the Razorbacks. While the Rams have struggled this year, Millar’s consistent play has been a silver lining of sorts for the team.

2018 - 2019 STATS ■ Games played

17 ■ Goals 1 ■ Assists 1 ■ Penalty Minutes 52 ■ +/+1 Millar is the smallest of the Ram forwards, but what he lacks in physical size he makes up for with heart and intensity.

“He isn’t intimidated by anyone when he’s out there and he’ll go after anyone regardless of how much bigger they are,” said Mark Schermerhorn of Colorado State University Hockey Operations. “‘Tenacious’ and ‘hard-nosed’ are definitely words that come to mind when you watch him play.”

Growing up in Durango, Colorado and getting his first pair

of skates at age three, it didn’t take long for hockey to become a passion.

“My dad bought me my first pair of skates and it just kinda went from there,” Millar said.

“I played all my youth hockey in Durango, then high school hockey too. Junior year I left to go play junior hockey in El Paso and Bozeman before I came here to CSU.” Although now revered for his toughness, playing fearless to compete against bigger opponents is something Millar had to learn.

“That’s not necessarily the way I was taught to play but how I figured I needed to play, being an undersized player,” Millar said. “I’ve got to stick up for myself and prove something.”

Millar—listed as the smallest player on the Rams’ roster—is currently second on the team

with 56 penalty minutes and has recorded two points in 17 contests.

For the Rams, high-end offensive production has been hard to come by this season, but Millar prides himself on finding other ways to help contribute to the team.

“That’s not necessarily the way I was taught to play but how I figured I needed to play, being an undersized player. I’ve gotta stick up for myself and prove something.”

LIAM MILLAR SOPHOMORE FORWARD

Currently,

on

both

the

team’s top power play and penalty killing units, Millar has demonstrated he can contribute in all facets of the game with his pesky style of play. ”If you look at the stat sheet you can see I’m not a huge point guy,” Millar said. “I’m more of a playmaker and I try to do the little things right, (it) sends a good example to the younger guys on the team: just get in and get your job done.”

Blocking shots, making hits, and going to tough areas of the ice to retrieve pucks are just a few ways Millar is able to help the team stay in games.

Off the ice, Millar is well mannered and much more relaxed. Millar studies environmental horticulture, focusing on turf grass, with the hopes of one day becoming a superintendent of a golf course.

With most of his time com-

mitted to academics and the hockey team, Millar doesn’t have much downtime, but when he does, he likes to pass time by skiing, golfing and fly fishing.

“I do a little bit with our fly fishing club here; I like to fly fish and I love to ski when I can find the time,” Millar said. “You know, typical Colorado activities.”

With a crop of seniors about to graduate, the sophomore should see his role elevated as an upperclassman next season.

“We have some strong leadership in this senior class that has done an outstanding job for this program and Liam is definitely one of the guys next year that will help lead this team,” said Assistant Coach Jameson Wicks.

Basketball >> from page 1 The lack of production from the field for Mounsey was accompanied by six misses from outside the arc, putting the guard on pace for her third scoreless game from outside in the team’s last quarter of games.

With their second-highest scorer held without a point, the Rams trailed 27-20 at the half.

Out of the break, the Wolfpack once again played in the back pocket of the Rams’ ball handlers all the way up the court.

“We missed 11 layups.

That’s 22 points, you can’t leave that off the scoreboard. Some kids have some tough nights shooting the ball.”

RYUN WILLIAMS HEAD COACH

After the pressure yielded seven forced turnovers for the visitors in the first half, the team stuck to their plan, forcing six more in the final pair of quarters, equaling the Rams average on the year.

Despite the losses of possession, Williams couldn’t help but qualm over the missed looks from the Rams scorers.

“We haven’t had this good of looks in four games,” Williams said. “We should’ve probably scored 70-plus points tonight with the shots that we got ... We had two starters go 1-17 combined, you’re not gonna win those games.”

The final straw for Williams’ squad came in the face of a rare moment of limited pressure.

After drawing a foul, Grace Colaivalu tossed an inbounds pass to Lena Svanholm with-

out a Wolfpack defender within several feet. The Rams’ center went in for the layup, missing with only a slight graze of the rim.

On the next possession, Leah Davis missed a layup in identical fashion, once again hardly contested.

“We missed 11 layups,” Williams said. “That’s 22 points, you can’t leave that off the scoreboard. Some kids have some tough nights shooting the ball.”

The misses, which could’ve shortened the margin to 15, showed a team grasping for answers at the hoop, down 44-25 as the third period drew to a close.

“You can’t let (misses) snowball. If you miss one, don’t think about it,” Myanne Hamm said. “We kind of felt those (misses) and weren’t thinking next play as much.”

A lack of success at the rim with wide-open looks also resulted in a second-consecutive period with single-digit scoring (8), ensuring the game was concluded prior to the final whistle.

In the end, eight separate Nevada players scored with three in double figures—a direct juxtaposition of a Rams squad with only one over the decade mark.

The Rams will head to the west coast for a Saturday bout with Fresno State and Preseason All-MW selection Candice White. Tip-off is set for 3 p.m. as Wiliams’ squad will look to limit White after allowing 28 points from the guard in the two team’s first meeting.

“We’re gonna figure out how to put ourselves in the best position to compete and win,” Williams said. “This baby is over ... We’re gonna get our group together tomorrow and this is how we’re gonna beat Fresno. That’s gotta be our mindset.”

Celebrating the life of Colorado pitcher Roy Halladay

By Mark Kiszla The Denver Post

As baseball lovers in Colorado, we will always remember the late, great Roy Halladay like this: A big right-hander for the Phillies, standing tall on the mound in 2010, as cool and hard as granite, as he mowed down Cincinnati batters with a nasty cutter to become only the second pitcher in major-league history to throw a no-hitter in the playoffs.

But on the wintry Tuesday that the greatest baseball player in our state’s history was voted into the Hall of Fame, the first image that crossed the mind of a man who loved Halladay like a father was not from any of the 203 victories or two Cy Young awards earned in the big leagues. It was the sight of a towhead toddler smiling as brightly as the sun on a perfect Colorado summer afternoon, delighting in the discovery that life never gets sweeter than a kid’s first lick of an ice cream cone.

“As a father, my thoughts of him run a lot deeper than being proud he was a major-league pitcher,” Roy Halladay Jr. told me when Roy III — his namesake — got a reservation in Cooperstown alongside Babe Ruth, Bob Gibson and other legends larger than life. “What I remember is the kindness and the wisdom about him from a very young age. To tell you the truth, there were times I thought he’d be a better dad for me than I was for him.”

We live in Broncos Country, where snow is known to fly sideways in spring. Larger-than-life legends of the diamond aren’t supposed to be born here. But want to know how the improbable magic happened in the Denver ‘burbs during the 1980s?

Big Roy, a flight instructor by trade, and little Roy, no more than 5 or 6 years old, ventured down to the basement in the Halladay family home. The kid liked swinging a bat. So his father built a small hitting cage, then grinned at the sound of baseballs smacking against a cinder-block wall with destructive force. Isn’t wrecking the basement together about the

coolest method of father-son bonding ever invented?

“To keep from ruining the balls, I put a mattress against the wall,” the father recalled.

In the beginning, there was no master plan. It was pure fun.

But before long, a tire was hung in front of the mattress propped against a basement wall. Voila!

Little Roy had a strike zone to master. And by the time the little towhead grew into a teenager at Arvada West High School, nobody around here had ever seen any Colorado pitcher throw strikes the way the son of a pilot could. He led the Wildcats to a prep state title in 1994 and was selected No. 17 overall in the 1995 draft.

“I enjoyed catching him all the way until he was in high school,” said Roy Halladay Jr., the memory punctuated with a chuckle. “Then Bus Campbell (a

High quality, affordably produced video

local pitching guru who had tutored Hall of Famer Goose Gossage) told me: ‘You better put down the catcher’s mitt before you get killed.’ So I lost my job.”

On days like these, baseball poets liked to write sonnets about how a Colorado native was adopted as the favorite baseball son of Canada, because Halladay sent mighty Yankees trudging back to the dugout as the Toronto Blue Jays’ ace, then became one of only six pitchers to win a Cy Young Award in both leagues after joining the Phillies.

All the poets, however, have been replaced by analytical wizards. So let’s drop this statistic on you: From 2002-11, the 2.97 earned run average over 2,100 innings posted by Halladay was more dominant pitching than any of his peers except for Roger Clemens, who awaits admission to the Hall because of all those

nasty steroids questions.

All the “SportsCenter” moments on the mound are curated in a video library of the Halladay family home. But after the son of a pilot died in light aircraft crash, with the retired 40-yearold pitcher at the controls, off the Florida coast a little more than 14 months ago, what a grieving father reached for were photos of Halladay celebrating birthdays as a child, snapshots of the happy day an athlete married Brandy and mementos of laughter shared with two sons of the pitcher’s own.

Roy III will be the first player elected posthumously to the Hall by the writers since Roberto Clemente in 1973.

Shortly after 4 p.m. in the Rocky Mountain time zone, the land baseball forgot, a Colorado kid who grew into a major-league legend joined Mari-

ano Rivera, Mike Mussina and Edgar Martinez in the distinguished class of 2019.

I asked Roy Jr. how he would celebrate.

“It will be low-key,” said a father who misses his son every day. “I just want to reflect on how really thankful I am about the whole thing, the life we shared together and how many people in Colorado helped him get (to the Hall) out of the goodness of their hearts.”

On the summer day when Halladay is enshrined in Cooperstown, here’s hoping that in addition to all 203 of his major-league victories being celebrated, we all remember a little towhead enjoying every last bite of an ice-cream cone.

Life’s short. Make it sweet.

Shanahan has high praise for new Broncos coordinator Rich Scangarello

By Ryan O’Halloran The Denver Post

Two years ago, Kyle Shanahan was hired as coach of the San Francisco 49ers and gave Rich Scangarello a huge break by naming him quarterbacks coach. Last week, Scangarello was hired as the Broncos’ new offensive coordinator, which Shanahan said is a deserving opportunity.

“Rich did a great job,” Shanahan said here Tuesday at the Senior Bowl. “It’s tough to lose him.”

Scangarello coached with the Oakland Raiders in 2009, but returned to the college ranks until 2015, when he was hired by Atlanta in a quality control-type role thanks to a connection with a Falcons assistant. Shanahan was Atlanta’s offensive coordinator at the time.

“I started with Rich in Atlanta, where he worked mainly in the run (game) and helping out our offensive line coach (Chris Morgan),” Shanahan said. “But he was always a quarterback guy and that’s why I wanted to bring him to San Francisco.”

Scangarello was the offensive coordinator at Wagner (N.Y.) College when Shanahan brought him

back to the NFL with the 49ers.

“Spending two years with him, we got a lot closer through that; we got to go through a lot of things together,” Shanahan said.

“Rich is a very good coach. He’s called plays a number of times in college and he’ll do a very good job in Denver.”

“Spending two years with him, we got a lot closer through that; we got to go through a lot of things together. Rich is a very good coach. He’s called plays a number of times in college and he’ll do a very good job in Denver.”

Towering presence. Buffalo quarterback Tyree Jackson looks like a linebacker on the field.

Jackson was measured at 6-foot7 and 249 pounds and has 10-inch hands.

Jackson was a late invite to the Senior Bowl because he completed his degree requirements while also declaring for the draft.

He is one 11 players who are in that category this week.

Another tall player is Stetson tight end Donald Parnam, who is 6 feet, 8 3/8 inches and 243 pounds.

Honoring Heckert. During the weigh-ins Tuesday, former Broncos executive Tom Heckert and former Cleveland/San Francisco executive Dwight Clark were honored with a moment of silence.

Heckert, who died at age 51 in August, worked in the NFL for 27 years, including 2013-17 for the Broncos. Clark worked 12 years for San Francisco and Cleveland after a 13-year playing career.

Footnotes The Broncos signed offensive lineman Don Barclay to a future contract on Tuesday. Barclay, 29, has made 25 career starts (22 at right tackle, two at right guard and one at left tackle) for Green Bay and Detroit. He was most recently with New Orleans in the 2018 preseason.

The Broncos hired former player Chris Kuper as their assistant offensive line coach. Ku-

‘If Beale Street Could Talk’ deserves your attention

By Ty Davis @tydavisacw

It would not come as much of a surprise to learn many of you did not see “If Beale Street Could Talk,” let alone heard of it. The Film released on Christmas, which typically means the studio could not decide on a time when to release it due to uncertainty of how it would perform. However, releasing it in December has almost insured the film would underperform in the box office, as it has

only earned $8 million of its $12 million budget as of this review.

“If Beale Street Could Talk” deserves more than the hand it was dealt. Despite coming out towards the end of one the busiest years in recent film history “Beale Street” is easily one of the best films of 2018.

The film comes courtesy of Barry Jenkins who previously directed “Moonlight” and adapted “Beale Street” from the James Baldwin novel of the same name. The film, set in early 70s Harlem, centers around Tish Rivers (Kiki Layne) and Alonzo Hunt (Stephan James) through the progression of their relationship from childhood friends to romantic partners. The movie starts with Tiff visiting Alonzo in jail to deliver the news that she is pregnant.

With false charges against Alonzo, Tiff and her family be-

gin proving Alonzo’s innocence with their lawyer Hayward (Finn Wittrock) but steadily encounter more impediments that only serve to make the situation more difficult.

“Events don’t work out in these neat, straightforward, solutions, in fact, plan completely fall through like in real life.”

“Beale Street” switches between moments before Alonzo’s imprisonment and after, giving us a clear picture of both the relationship that was starting and how their relationship develops afterward. Despite dealing with dark subject matter like rape, government corruption, and

3 drinking games to replace the dying art of beer pong

By Miranda Moses @mirandasrad

There is a prevalent subject on college campuses perhaps as divisive as politics that must be addressed: beer pong and how painfully boring. Unless you’ve made things spicy by integrating rules and humorous aspects of the YouTube trending Fear Pong version of the game or you’re constantly dunking balls across the table, there is a 100 percent possibility that you are being the downer of the party.

Before you throw your Patagonia dad hats or your empty JUUL pods at me in pointless protest, consider this: There are so many overlooked drinking games to amp up a party.

If you’re trying to actually have fun at a (responsible) drinking function this weekend, here are three games that don’t suck.

Most Likely Too This game is fun because you don’t need to get mad at Chad for forgetting to pick up the ping pong balls from King Soopers again. Simply gather a group of people into a circle, and start throwing lots of shade at each other. One by one, each person in the group will say something along the lines of “Most likely to...streak at a CSU football game.” This person will then count to three, and on the third

count, everyone in the group points at the person in the huddle they think would most likely do the said thing. The person with the most fingers pointing at them must drink as many sips as there are fingers in their direction. This game is great for learning strangers’ first impressions and also getting into friendship-ending fights with your loved ones.

Beer Hockey Everyone loves a drinking game where you aren’t required to drink beer if you don’t want to. At a table, each player is responsible for protecting their own drink with two fingers, but they can only do this when a quarter is in motion. When it is a player’s turn, they spin a quarter and then call out another players name. Whoever’s name is called out must sucker punch the quarter in the hopes of hitting another player’s drink. Those who don’t adequately protect their beverage must chug their drink while the person who swiped the quarter spins the coin again as long as possible. If the coin stops spinning, the person can stop chugging. If the person finishes the drink before the coin falls over, they can slam their empty can or cup down onto the quarter. This prompts sweet revenge on the shooter, who must now chug their drink fully. If you’re playing with strangers, don’t bother learning names.

I suggest yelling descriptive nicknames such as, “guy who looks like Harry Potter if he joined a frat” or “girl who looks like she knits in her free time” and seeing how that goes. Also, important advice: don’t try to protect a wine bottle with two fingers.

Pizza Box I have never walked into a college kid’s home without finding random cardboard. For some reason, we are all hoarders that don’t quite know how to recycle, but that ends here. In the name of saving the planet, simply flatten out your excess cardboard onto a table or a floor. Each player will take turns flipping a coin on to the cardboard. If the coin lands on a blank space, the player can write their own rule and create a shape around it, like what an 8-year-old might draw if you asked them to draw a hexagon. If the coin lands on a part of the cardboard already inhabited by a rule, the player must enact that rule.

I suggest starting with rules such as, “Player must take two shots and then recite the rapping verse of ‘Fergalicious’”, or “Player must wear the person to their left as a backpack for one full round,” and then see where your weird friends take it from there.

police brutality, “Beale Street” is decisively a love story, but a love story with disregard for following traditional love story beats.

The main characters don’t follow traditional love story setups. The situations are not pristine love story predicaments, and the central antagonist is not a cartoonish, melodramatic, force bent on keeping the couple separated.

Instead, every hurdle is a very real problem that behaves like a real situation and cannot be easily solved. These are financial struggles, discrimination and trauma that will not go away with a few plot solutions.

Events don’t work out in these neat, straightforward solutions.

In fact, plans completely fall through like in real life.

Yet, the movie works as result of these real problems, not

in spite of them. It is because the main characters keep trying despite everything set against them that makes this such as remarkably beautiful story.

Their persistence to keep their love for each other despite the worst possible situations.

Everything culminates in an ending where everything does not perfectly work out, but it is in this bitter-sweetness that results in a subtle beauty. It is clear why this work has earned its endearing legacy.

Alyssa Milano addresses backlash after Ku Klux Klan comparison

By Nardine Saad Los Angeles Times

Alyssa Milano was swiftly criticized on Twitter after comparing President Trump’s red Make America Great Again hats to the white hoods of the Ku Klux Klan. And now she’s planning to write an op-ed to address the brewing backlash.

Her initial tweet, which was shared on Sunday, appeared to reference the confrontations that erupted around a Kentucky teenager and a Native American elder at overlapping marches at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington over the weekend, a flashpoint that had been mischaracterized in the media and on social media.

“The red MAGA hat is the new white hood. Without white boys being able to empathize with other people, humanity will continue to destroy itself #FirstThoughtsWhenIWakeUp,” the actress-activist wrote.

The “Charmed” alum, who often heartily voices her distaste for the Trump administration, appeared to be referencing high schooler Nick Sandmann’s pro-Trump head-

gear and initial criticism the teenager received for apparently mocking 64-year-old Nathan Phillips.

The events were widely debated by Twitter users, who also accused Milano of jumping to conclusions and being “color blind,” and led to many people of color sharing their affinities to the Trump-supporting headgear.

And as the unrest from the antiabortion March for Life and Indigenous Peoples March came into focus when new videos contextualizing the events surfaced, Milano drew further scrutiny for her words.

“Please get the whole story,” one user told Milano.

“These kids did not start this.”

In fact, additional footage showed that there were other groups potentially inciting tension and that Sandmann was trying to de-escalate it. By Monday, Milano addressed the larger debate, particularly the aspects that relate to abortion, but that didn’t appear to defuse the situation.

“Let’s not forget — this entire event happened because a group of boys went on a school-sanctioned trip to pro-

test against a woman’s right to her own body and reproductive healthcare. It is not debatable that bigotry was at play from the start,” she wrote, further elaborating with her own views on abortion.

“There isn’t a side in this debate that isn’t pro-life. I am pro-life. I am also pro-choice.

Those calling me an infant killer are anti-choice. Once again, your religious beliefs do not carry more weight than scientific facts and my physical autonomy,” she added.

She was then accused of “moving the goalpost.”

The savvy social-media star appeared to take the backlash in stride though, even posting reports about how it played out when she addressed the controversy again on Tuesday.

“Apparently, I’m in ‘hot water’ and facing ‘backlash’.

So ... I’m going to do what any thoughtful human with a platform would do ... write an oped. Stay tuned,” she tweeted.

As of Wednesday morning, no such op-ed had been published.

A fond farewell — with chocolate chip cookies

By Leah Eskin Chicago Tribune

The first recipe I published was a fail. I was writing a weekly column for the Chicago Tribune Sunday magazine _ not a food column, more of a ruminative ramble — and, after the World Trade Center crumbled, I tacked on a recipe for calm: chocolate-chip cookies. I made cookies regularly, ritually, obsessively, so I set down the steps in a snap.

In those anxious days, the newsroom was alert to letters laced with anthrax. No toxic dust dropped from mine, but a few were scorched with scorn. The cookies — 2 tablespoons short on flour — baked up flat. My editor clicked her sharp heels to my desk and asked if I’d submitted the recipe for testing.

I gave her a dumbfounded stare.

Since then I’ve learned about recipe testing, recipe development and writing a food column, which became my job in 2004. I’ve learned to rely on a timer and a measuring tape. I’ve learned to keep notes.

I’ve learned that no one wants to track down membrillo or churn ice cream.

I took the job — terrified. I’d read about a recipe in another magazine that had combusted “like Napalm.”

Most writing, I realized, is captured by the eyes and settles in the mind; food writing slides down the throat

and settles in the stomach. Best if it doesn’t explode. I opened a fresh document and titled it “A Year of Sundays.” Now 116 pages, it details 15 years of Sundays — first-dance dumplings, summer-camp shrimp, empty-nest noodles.

Along the way, newspapers changed. The column moved from a glossy magazine spread to a compressed newsprint layout. My work changed, paring down to plainer prose and simpler recipes. Even my cookies changed — now they’re warmed by browned butter and bristle bittersweet.

Readers still correspond, more often online than on paper, sending recipes, reminiscences and, once, a contraption that sticks a bowl to the countertop. I appreciate them all — except the death threat that followed a story about stone soup.

This is my final “Home on the Range,” my last byline after three decades in the Chicago Tribune, but not goodbye. You can find my work in other publications, online at leaheskin.com and in my book “Slices of Life: A Food Writer Cooks Through Many a Conundrum.”

Thank you. I’ll miss writing, and cooking, for you.

BITTERSWEET CHIP COOKIES Prep: 15 minutes plus 2 or more hours to freeze Bake: 16 minutes Makes: About 32 cookies

To melt the butter, do not use a pan with a dark bottom, otherwise you will not be able to see the brown bits.

INGREDIENTS ■ 1 1/2 cups dark-brown sugar ■ 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter,

cut up

■ 2 whole eggs ■ 1 egg white ■ 2 teaspoons vanilla ■ 1 heaping teaspoon kosher salt ■ 1 teaspoon baking soda ■ 2 1/4 cups flour ■ 1 bag (10 ounces) bittersweet

chocolate chips or disks

1. Prep: Measure brown sugar into a mixing bowl.

2. Brown: Settle butter in a medium saucepan. Set over medium heat. Butter will melt, foam and — after another 5 or so minutes — brown. When the bottom of the pan is speckled with brown bits, scrape butter and bits over the sugar in the bowl. Stir.

3. Mix: Stir in, one at a time, in order: eggs, egg white, vanilla, salt,

baking soda, flour.

4. Rest: Let dough rest until no longer hot (to avoid melting chocolate). Stir in chips or disks. Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, scoop 32 balls of dough. Line them up, shoulder to shoulder, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze solid, about 2 hours. When frozen, store dough balls in a zip-close bag.

5. Bake: At cookie time, line

a baking sheet with parchment.

Choose the optimum number of cookie balls and settle them on the parchment, leaving 3 inches space between balls. Bake at 325 degrees on the center rack until shiny on top and just set, 14 to 16 minutes.

Munch warm.

Hero films win with Oscar nominations for ‘Black Panther’ and ‘Spider-Verse’

By Tracy Brown Los Angeles Times

Superhero movies reign supreme at the box office these days, but they have rarely been embraced by the Oscars beyond the craft and technical categories.

But the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences saluted superhero stories in a brand-new way with its 2019 Oscar nominations.

On Tuesday, Marvel’s “Black Panther” made history as the first comic-book adaptation to be nominated for best picture. Additionally, Sony’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and Disney/ Pixar’s “Incredibles 2” were both nominated in the animated-feature film category, making it a landmark year for superhero movies.

“It’s pretty crazy. I don’t think there’s a one of us that, when we started, had any inkling at all that we would be in the [conversation] for Oscars,” Peter Ramsey, co-director of “Spider-Verse,” told The Times.

That might seem surprising with all of the critical buzz surrounding “Spider-Verse,” but it’s understandable given the academy’s track record with superhero movies.

Perhaps voting members have finally realized that these stories are more than just about costumed crime fighters taking out a villain. “Black Panther,” “Incredibles 2” and “Spider-Verse” all tackle larger themes such as diversity, identity and family.

“Superheroes are the myths of our times. With our movie, the hero reflects people we’ve never seen on the screen before who can feel like they can participate in the myth.”

PETER RAMSEY CO-DIRECTOR OF “SPIDERVERSE”

“The core idea [of ‘Incredibles 2’] is more about family than the superhero aspect,” Brad Bird, the film’s writer and director, said in an interview Tuesday. “The superhero genre is used as a way to comment on the institution of family, whether that’s defined as biological family or your

friends.”

The three films are also notable because they each expand the idea of who can be a superhero. The leader of a futuristic African nation, a suburban housewife and an Afro-Latino teenager are all just as capable of saving the day as their white male counterparts.

“Superheroes are the myths of our times,” said Ramsey.

“With our movie, the hero reflects people we’ve never seen on the screen before who can feel like they can participate in the myth.”

A peek into Miles Morales’ morning routine from “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”

“Black Panther’s” historic nomination is the first time a film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been recognized in a field outside of visual effects, sound editing or makeup and hairstyling.

An MCU movie has yet to take home a win in any category.

That’s not to say the academy has never awarded a prize to any film based on a Marvel comic. Disney’s “Big Hero 6”scored the animated-feature Oscar at the 87th ceremony, and Sony’s “Spider-Man 2” won for visual effects at the 77th edition.

And although it didn’t win, Fox’s “Logan” (a part of the “X-Men” franchise) was the first superhero movie to land an Oscar nod for screenwriting in 2018.

DC superheroes have fared marginally better. Heath Led-

ger was posthumously awarded the supporting actor Oscar for his turn as the Joker in “The Dark Knight.” The Christopher Nolan-helmed Batman film also took home the sound editing prize in 2009.

An earlier movie about the caped crusader, “Batman,” was awarded the Oscar for art directing in 1990 (the category is now known as production design). And before visual effects became a category with multiple nominees, “Superman” received a special achievement award at the 51st ceremony in 1979.

Most recently, “Suicide Squad” won the Oscar for makeup and hairstyling in 2017.

And, of course, “The Incredibles,” a family-friendly superhero story with no direct comic book roots, won the animated feature and sound editing awards at the 2005 Oscars.

Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige acknowledges that one of the biggest takeaways from “Black Panther’s” success is that there is an audience that wants to see more of these different kinds of superhero stories.

“That is the line going forward: Have lots of different types of people be able to tell lots of different types of stories,” said Feige.

Music industry complied with R. Kelley’s crime

By Greg Kot Chicago Tribune

When RCA Records dropped R. Kelly from its artist roster a few days ago, those outraged by the mounting allegations against the R&B star might justifiably have asked, “What took so long?”

Kelly had been associated for decades with RCA Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, and been the subject of investigative reports, lawsuits and legal proceedings concerning sexual assault for nearly as long.

As long ago as 1994, as reported by the Washington Post, Kelly’s record company was tipped to the singer’s penchant for picking up underage girls after concerts by the singer’s own tour manager at the time. Clive Calder, founder of the Jive Records label that initially signed Kelly, told the Post in May 2018 that he regretted not trying harder to get help for Kelly. “Clearly we missed something,” Calder told the Post.

At best, the record industry consistently turned a blind eye to the charges swirling around Kelly’s private life. At worst, it enabled him. The one incontrovertible truth is that the industry continued to profit from the music of an artist accused dozens of times of assaulting women and girls.

With his 1993 debut solo album, “12 Play,” Kelly established himself as a meal ticket for the conglomerates ­record companies, touring agencies, concert promoters, commercial radio stations, song publishers — that control the music industry. “12 Play” sold 6 million copies and launched a career that would help make Clive Calder and his fellow music-industry moguls very rich. Calder sold Jive for $2.7 billion in 2002.

Over the next two decades, Kelly would make an estimated $150 million for his label with 32 million album sales. As a touring

act he was nearly as formidable, with revenue of $5.7 million on a 2003 tour, $13.7 million on a joint tour with Jay-Z in 2004 that was cut short when the headliners clashed, and $8.3 million on a 2007 solo tour. As recently as 2017, Live Nation — the biggest concert promoter in North America — was still promoting an R. Kelly tour when reporter Jim DeRogatis broke another alarming report about Kelly’s offstage activities in Buzzfeed.

The Buzzfeed piece by DeRogatis, who broke the initial stories on the allegations against Kelly in 2002 in the Chicago Sun-Times, reported that Kelly has been allegedly holding women against their will in a cultlike setting.

Among those speaking out was Kelly’s ex-wife, Andrea Kelly.

(DeRogatis and I have co-hosted the radio show “Sound Opinions” since 1999.)

Kelly concerts in New Orleans, Dallas, Los Angeles and other cities were canceled after the report surfaced, and the #MuteRKelly protest campaign was launched.

The activists partnered with the Women of Color group within the Time’s Up movement and called for Kelly’s business partners to sever their relationships with him.

A multi-part documentary this month on Lifetime, “Surviving R. Kelly,” amplified much of DeRogatis’ reporting with interviews of several women who claimed Kelly abused them. The Kelly protests grew in volume and visibility, as major artists such as Lady Gaga, Chance the Rapper and the rock group Phoenix expressed regret over working with the singer in the past. On Jan. 11, activist group UltraViolet chartered a plane to fly over the Sony Music offices in California with a banner that read, “RCA/Sony: Drop Sexual Predator R. Kelly.” Protesters also gathered outside the Sony Music offices in New York Jan. 16 to pressure the label to drop Kelly. A few days later,

reports of the RCA/Sony decision to part ways with Kelly surfaced.

There was no formal announcement and record company executives could not be reached for comment. But Kelly’s name no longer appears on the record company website and multiple reports confirm that the singer is no longer on the label roster.

Though the media coverage and protests undoubtedly played a role in the RCA/Sony decision, it’s equally likely that Kelly’s declining commercial fortunes made it easier for the label to drop him. Kelly has not released a studio album of new music since “The Buffet,” in 2015, which turned out to be the lowest-charting album yet of the singer’s career. A seasonal album released the next year, “12 Nights of Christmas,” fared even worse. It debuted at No. 177 on the Billboard 200 chart and quickly fell off. Kelly has resorted to releasing his latest songs on the Soundcloud streaming platform.

It’s difficult to precisely pin down why Kelly’s music has declined in popularity. For more than a decade after the allegations against the singer broke, his career continued to sail along. On a wider level, the impact of the #MeToo movement on the music industry has been late in arriving. While giants in the movie and TV industry (Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby) have tumbled amid sex-abuse allegations, the music business has seen little fallout — until recently.

A panel at the South by Southwest Music conference last year in Austin, Texas, wrestled with the question, and longtime public-relations executive Beth Martinez cut to the chase. Ultimately, Martinez said, it’s up to the fans to reconsider their economic relationship to artists who have eluded taking responsibility for their actions. “No one in a capitalist society is going to be self-policing,” Martinez said. Record companies and concert promoters “are going

to make as much money as long as they can” off artists such as Kelly.

“If you boycott records by abusive people, the labels won’t put them out. When I found out about R. Kelly, I voted with my dollars.”

The history of rock/R&B/ hip-hop is populated with artists whose popularity was enhanced by their outlaw behavior. “Sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll,” “I fought the law and the law won,” “F—- the Police,” were all image-enhancing slogans for artists who didn’t play by the same rules as everyone else.

It made it easy for record-company executives to excuse or ignore almost any kind of abhorrent behavior as long as the revenue kept pouring in. Little wonder that Kelly was viewed as a pariah by his record company only after the river of money he made them for 25 years started to show signs of drying up.
