Rams beat Bulldogs amongst changing of the guard in backcourt

By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

In J.D. Paige’s final year as a Colorado State Ram, a proverbial passing of the torch has ensued. With freshman Kendle Moore and Paige leading the team on Saturday, the transformation was once again in the limelight against Fresno State.

The duo scored 22 of the team’s first 26 points including all of their first 16 en-route to a Rams’ upset win over the visiting Bulldogs, 74-65.

Along with bringing their guards into focus, the win also knotted the two teams at 18 wins apiece in their 36 all-time meetings.

Of their early-game heroics,

Moore delivered the first blow, followed by a 3-pointer from Paige as the two alternated buckets.

Unfortunately for the pair, their efforts were largely undone by Fresno State’s Deshon Taylor early.

Typically overshadowed in the scoring department by teammate Braxton Huggins

(18.5), Taylor averaged 16.1 points per game entering the contest. He nearly supplanted his mark with 15 points in the first half alone against the Rams.

Outside of Taylor, the Rams held the Bulldogs to 15 points on 7-of-24 from the field. The mark included 0-of-7 outside except a trio of 3-pointers from

Taylor.

“I thought our guys played really good defense,” said Head Coach Niko Medved. “For the most part, we made them earn everything for 40 minutes.”

While the Rams held Huggins to only two points in the first half, the Bulldogs held

Nancy Richardson Design Center opens, aims to foster creativity

By Meagan Stackpool @MeaganStackpool

After years of conversation and planning, the Nancy Richardson Design Center celebrated its opening Friday, allowing students to explore new design opportunities.

Nancy Richardson and her husband, Curt, donated $8.1 million to the development of the center.

Nancy Richardson, a 1982 graduate of the Colorado State University Interior Design program, along with her husband are co-founders of OtterBox and Blue Ocean Enterprises. In an interview with Collegian Television, she explained how plans for the design center began six years ago.

“The design center is a dream come true for me,” Nancy said. “It started with conversations back in 2013 with Dean Jeff McCubbin and kind of brainstorming about what could a world class design center look like, what purpose would it serve and how would we elevate the programs in design and in design thinking.”

Student members of the Design and Merchandising Leadership Team attended the ceremony to help guide students and visitors

throughout the new building.

Student member Kelsie Gordon, a sophomore in the interior architecture and design program, expressed how significant the new center is to the students.

“It’s a huge step for our campus and for design in general because a lot of people don’t take design seriously,” Gordon said, adding that the University is taking steps to create something that everyone can do their best work in.

Totaling $19.5 million, the building was designed by OZ Architecture with assistance from Salt Design and built by Saunders Construction. The 45,000 square foot building features open student spaces with collaboration and creating in mind.

Julia Lyons, a graduate of the CSU design program and member of the Salt Design team who designed the building, explained some of the intent behind the design of the building.

Lyons explained that this building, in particular, is going to bring different creatives together to collaborate more, to hopefully create a better understanding of design as a whole, regardless of major. She hopes this will bring more creativity.

The building also features

three design labs filled with new technology available to students.

Paul Callahan, fabrication labs coordinator to the design center, expressed the versatility the labs give the students.

“There’s really not much that you couldn’t make with the tools in these three labs if you’re interested in building something three dimensional,” Callahan said. He went on to describe the various machinery and technology within the textile, woodworking and metal labs.

“It’s a huge step for our campus and for design in general because a lot of people don’t take design seriously.”

KELSIE GORDON SOPHOMORE INTERIOR ARCHHITECTURE & DESIGN STUDENT

The center’s design emphasizes the creative process, as Laura Malinin, inaugural director of the RDC and assistant professor in the Interior Architecture and Design program, explained.

Malinin said the building was designed around the different steps of the creative process and organized around thinking about the different processes and activities of creativity.

“The cool thing about the design center is that it’s open to all students from CSU,” Malinin said.

“It’s for any student who wants to come in and learn about prototyping and making and being creative.”

Sera Radovich, academic success coordinator for the Department of Design and Merchandising, explained how the design center will contribute to future growth within the university.

“One of the goals of one of the majors, Interior Architecture and Design, is to see double growth within the next couple of years here, so obtaining that goal is going to be possible because of the different technology that’s provided with this building,” Radovich said.

Diane Sparks, faculty member in the Department of Design and Merchandising, described the significance behind some of the design choices within the building.

“There’s light coming in from all directions,” Sparks said.

“There’s an optimism that comes with light.”

Sparks continued to explain that the center was an outgrowth of the design program at Stanford and the red throughout the building pays homage to their school.

Faculty and staff wished to publicly express how grateful they are to donors and supporters of the center, specifically Nancy Richardson, Dean Jeff McCubbin and President Tony Frank.

In her speech welcoming the public to the building, Nancy Richardson explained the intent behind the center itself.

“It’s really meant to be a hub for design thinking, and it was done with you, the students, in mind,” Richardson said. “That you would be inspired every time you walk in here, that you would collaborate with fellow students and students in other majors and really begin the process of design thinking and problem solving and becoming the best designers and thought leaders they can be.”

CSU adopts land acknowledgement statement to honor Native Americans

By Jorge Espinoza @jorgeespinoza14

Colorado State University has adopted a land acknowledgment statement that honors Native Americans and reconnects them to their ancestral homelands on which CSU is built.

According to an email sent

by President Tony Frank on Dec. 11, 2018, Native American students, staff and community members have worked to create a statement of land acknowledgment that honors the ties Native Americans have to the land CSU operates on.

“When this statement is used, it should be done with respect for its intent and purpose as part of a welcome — not as part of event logistics or as a routine housekeeping item,” Frank wrote.

CSU operates as a land grant institution and Ty Smith, director of the Native American Cultural Center, said the history behind CSU’s land grant mission generally leaves Native Americans out of the narrative.

“There’s been Indigenous presence in this area for hundreds of years,” Smith said. “It’s a critical part of understanding

the history of where CSU resides and this part of Northern Colorado.”

Smith said the importance of this land acknowledgment is how it honors the ties that Native Americans have to the land that CSU is built upon.

Smith added that Native American history is generally not well taught, and therefore not well known or understood.

“I think one of the effects of colonization throughout history is the separation of Native People from their traditional and ancestral homelands and the land acknowledgment reconnects these Indigenous peoples with their ancestral homelands,” Smith said.

Haley Carter, a sophomore studying Health and Exercise Science, said that she didn’t start to learn about the history of Native Americans in Northern Colorado until she first heard the land acknowledgment statement.

“CSU prides themselves on being a land grant university and they never acknowledge where this land came from,” Carter said. “It should be said with purpose and intention.

If you’re going to talk about the history of CSU it should be

done fully and accurately.”

Anissa Rodriguez, an Inclusive Community Assistant and liaison for the NACC office, said that it is important to decolonize CSU’s history in order to pay respect to Native Americans.

“It’s a form of decolonization in essence,” Rodriguez said. “In schools, we’re often not taught the settler colonial history behind the United States, and we’re not taught the history of Indigenous peoples that originally inhabited this land and still inhabit this land.”

Rodriguez said the land acknowledgment statement serves to acknowledge the history of genocide by helping educate non-natives.

Rodriguez added that students and staff can support Native Americans by taking time to learn and appreciate Native American culture as well as holding each other accountable for the history that has taken place.

“It is also so important to keep people accountable and help them check their privileges, Rodriguez said. “The first step to that is acknowledging what has happened and what is still happening to the Native

Full Statement Colorado State University acknowledges, with respect, that the land we are on today is the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute nations and peoples. This was also a site of trade, gathering, and healing for numerous other native tribes. We recognize the indigenous peoples as original stewards of this land and all the relatives within it. As these words of acknowledgment are spoken and heard, the ties nations have to their traditional homelands are renewed and reaffirmed.

CSU is founded as a land grant institution, and we accept that our mission must encompass access to education and inclusion.

And, significantly, that our founding came at a dire cost to native nations and peoples whose land this university was built upon.

This acknowledgment is the education and inclusion we must practice in recognizing our institutional history, responsibility, and commitment. communities and spread that knowledge to others.”

Smith said that students should take advantage of the opportunity to learn about other people.

“Whether it’s seminars, conferences, speaker series or

other cultural centers and offices, students should really take advantage of this opportunity to learn about others and learn more about diversity and social justice,” Smith said.

Former Gov. Hickenlooper makes plans for future in politics

By Nic Garcia The Denver Post

Just who is this fella with the funny-sounding last name who may want to be president?

He’s former Denver Mayor and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper.

Hickenlooper— pronounced HICK-in-loop-er, or Hick for short — just wrapped up his two terms as governor, in which he led the state out of the Great Recession and into one of the strongest economies in the nation: Here’s the short version of everything Democratic primary voters need to know about him.

Is Hickenlooper really running for president?

Almost certainly, most Colorado political insiders say.

Hickenlooper — who has a long record of political gaffes­­­— told a few folks in New Hampshire last fall that he is running, although his team quickly walked it back as a “joke.”

HICKENLOOPER’S ACCOMPLISHMENTS ■ Reopening highways in northern

Colorado within 100 days of the 2013 flood that killed 9.

■ Establishing a national model for regulating recreational marijuana, despite being adamantly opposed to voters’ decision to legalize it.

■ Signing a bill establishing civil unions in Colorado prior to the Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriage.

■ Successfully pushing for the expansion of Medicaid.

■ Signing gun-control legislation that established universal background checks and limited the size of magazines to 15 rounds.

■ Creating a dashboard of goals and metrics to measure how efficient state government was.

He shows all the classic signs, from the creation of his Giddy Up PAC to the publication of his book, “The Opposite of Woe,” to his trips to early primary states. In an interview before leaving office, he said he was about 68 percent ready to make a final decision. He has also hired staff, including a pollster and national fundraiser.

What kind of Democrat is Hickenlooper?

Hickenlooper often refers to himself as an “extreme moderate.” On many social issues, such as gay rights or gun control, he’s progressive. However, he’s also pro-business. What’s more, the “extreme moderate” goes to his temperament: He’s

wary of making monumental policy shifts overnight and believes that most Americans are in the middle of the political spectrum, not on the ends.

Can Hickenlooper win the Democratic nomination?

As Colorado political pollster Floyd Ciruli recently pointed out, Democrats have a long history of electing darkhorse governors.

Hickenlooper’s team is framing him as an executive with progressive values and a record for delivering results.

Unlike the high-profile senators entering the race, he can call himself a Washington outsider. At the same time, he has a national network of donors to sustain him as he builds name ID. What’s Hickenlooper’s short personal biography?

Hickenlooper was born Feb. 7, 1952, in a suburb of Philadelphia. Hickenlooper is the youngest of four and was raised by his mother, Anne, after his father’s death when he was 8 years old.

Hickenlooper often recounts stories of being an easy target of playground bullies. It was in these early “geek” years, he says, that he learned to defuse tense situations with humor.

He graduated from the private Haverford School in 1970.

He went on to graduate from Wesleyan University with a bachelor’s in English and a master’s in geology.

Hickenlooper moved to Colorado for work as a geologist.

However, during a downturn in the economy in 1986, he was laid off. In 1988, he started the Wynkoop Brewing Company and helped lead the effort to revitalize Denver’s lower downtown neighborhood.

He married journalist Helen Thrope and had a son Teddy, now 16. However, the couple divorced in 2012.

Hickenlooper remarried in 2016. His second wife, Robin Pringle Hickenlooper, is an executive at Liberty Media, which owns a stake in SiriusXM and the Atlanta Braves.

What’s Hickenlooper’s short political biography?

Hickenlooper first entered politics in 2003, when he joined Denver’s wide-open 2003 mayoral race promising a more robust economic development platform, better cooperation with Denver’s suburbs -- and cheaper parking at meters downtown.

He broke through the competition with commercials that Coloradans still talk about today. Here’s one: Hickenlooper ultimately beat city Auditor Don Mares in a landslide.

During his first term, Hickenlooper wiped out a $70 mil-

lion deficit and helped the city land the Democratic National Convention. However, he faced scrutiny for mishandling election problems and a blizzard that shut down the Denver International Airport for 45 hours and left city streets covered in snow for days.

Still, he won re-election in 2007, again by a wide margin.

In 2010, after learning that then-Democratic Gov. Bill Ritter would not seek a second term, Hickenlooper trained his eyes on the state’s highest office.

As in his first run for mayor, Hickenlooper made job creation a central theme of his gubernatorial bid. He went on to win a three-man race with 50 percent of the vote in one of the wildest races in modern Colorado history.

What’s Hickenlooper’s claim to fame?

Like many governors elected in 2010, Hickenlooper inherited an economy left in ruins after the Great Recession.

However, when the term-limit-

ed governor left office January 2019, the state’s economy was one of the most respected in the nation — and some credit him for that.

Hickenlooper led Coloradans through numerous other challenges, during his first term, including devastating wildfires, a 100-year flood and gun violence — most notably the mass shooting at an Aurora movie theater.

Above all, Hickenlooper’s supporters — and detractors — say his greatest success was in getting opposing sides to sit down and negotiate compromises on policy matters.

What do Hickenlooper’s critics have to say about him?

Critics on both the left and the right have been frustrated when he tries to please everyone.

Take, for instance, Hickenlooper’s record on oil and gas. He has long championed the state’s energy sector while simultaneously pushing for stricter regulation. Critics on the left suggest his push for

higher methane standards is an empty gesture. Critics on the right have said his order for the adoption of low-emission standards for vehicles will hurt rural Colorado.

Another example: Hickenlooper’s indefinite postponement of the execution of the man who killed four people at a suburban pizza parlor. Hickenlooper said he knew his decision would be highly scrutinized but said it was the only one that both respected the judicial process and his evolving position that the death penalty is unjust.

What about a unity ticket with Hickenlooper and Republican former Ohio Gov. John Kasich?

This is extremely unlikely.

Both former governors -- who worked together on a bipartisan health care proposal in 2017 — have expressed admiration for each other but said such a ticket isn’t in the works.

International Church of Cannabis co-founder heads to court Tuesday

By Sam Tabachnik The Denver Post

Nearly two years after Denver police busted the founders of the International Church of Cannabis for public pot consumption, one of the leaders finally may have his day in court.

Steve Berke, who co-founded the church in April 2017, is set to appear Tuesday in a Denver courtroom, where he is fighting a misdemeanor charge of open and public consumption of marijuana.

“Because we had this hanging cloud of suspicion, it has negatively impacted our ability to bring in donations and to run our business. People aren’t booking with us.”

STEVE BERKE CO-FOUNDER OF THE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH OF CANNABIS

The maximum penalty in the municipal case is $300. But marijuana experts are watching to see how Berke’s case might address a tricky question that has been confusing Denver pot smokers since legalization five

years ago: What is considered “open and public” marijuana consumption?

This case has been dragged out through a series of scheduling conflicts, a change in counsel and a mistrial last year, in which city prosecutors were unable to seat a jury.

The prolonged dispute stems from an April 20, 2017, undercover operation by Denver police during the church’s private, invitation-only 4/20 celebration, during which many of the 200-plus attendees smoked marijuana in designated consumption areas.

Police issued citations to Berke along with Lee Molloy and Briley Hale, the Church of Cannabis’ other co-founders. The three defendants each face a misdemeanor charge of open and public consumption of marijuana and violating the Colorado Clean Indoor Act. The church claims marijuana as its primary sacrament and hosts services once a week.

Members of the church are known as Elevationists, and they use the “sacred flower to reveal the best version of self, discover a creative voice and enrich their community with the fruits of that creativity,” according to the church’s website.

In March 2018, a judge declared a mistrial after prosecutors were unable to seat a six-person jury for the case.

Four potential jurors openly

questioned city attorney Rebekah Watada’s theory of the case. One questioned why tax dollars should be spent on prosecuting minor cases like this, while another asked why seven police detectives were on the witness list for a misdemeanor marijuana charge.

“This has been the stickiest policy bit since Amendment 64 was passed more than six years ago.”

SAM KAMIN VICENTE SEDERBERG PROFESSOR OF MARIJUANA LAW AND POLICY

“This is a colossal waste of time and money,” Berke told The Denver Post on Friday.

“I’m surprised the city is still spending taxpayer money to prosecute us (because) of how embarrassing it was last time.”

The city offered him a deal this week, Berke said, where he could plead to the civil infraction and receive a deferred judgment with community service. He turned it down.

“I look forward to being vindicated,” he said, adding that he never even consumed marijuana on the day in question because he was hosting the event.

After the mistrial, Berke added marijuana attorney Rob Corry

to his defense team.

The city attorney’s office could not immediately be reached for comment.

Berke said he’s strongly considering a lawsuit against the city, citing his loss in business since the police raid. The 114-year-old church, which sits on South Logan Street in the West Washington Park neighborhood, hosts weddings and private events.

“Because we had this hanging cloud of suspicion, it has negatively impacted our ability to bring in donations and to run our business,” he said. “People aren’t booking with us.”

The issue of public consumption of marijuana has been a dicey one for both the city and its weed-smoking citizens and visitors. There are few legal places to consume marijuana, outside of private homes.

And there is no definition of what constitutes public vs. private in the state’s laws.

In June, Denver police raided several marijuana party buses, slapping criminal charges on dozens of customers and employees who were consuming cannabis while riding between dispensaries. At least one of the affected tour companies, My 420 Tours, continues to operate.

In another instance nearly five years ago, the city warned the Colorado Symphony Orchestra that it could not hold

a public fundraiser with a bring-your-own marijuana component because it would go against public consumption regulations. The orchestra instead changed it to a private, invitation-only event.

“There’s no definition of ‘public,’” Councilmember Kendra Black told The Denver Post in September. “The city decided ... that buses are public, but the bus companies are saying, ‘No, they’re private.’”

Sam Kamin, the Vicente Sederberg Professor of Marijuana Law and Policy at the University of Denver, said the regulations need clarification.

“This has been the stickiest policy bit since Amendment 64 was passed more than six years ago,” he said.

Until the rules are more clearly defined, Kamin said, the city will continue to prosecute cases such as Berke’s.

“What it highlights for me is that we need a better way to do this,” Kamin said. “(The city) doesn’t want to keep bringing in these cases. I think they feel compelled to do this. If there were a better way to get together and consume marijuana, this wouldn’t be happening.

“Even if they get a conviction on this,” Kamin said, “it’s not gonna solve the problem.”

Fraternity executive fired, accused of embezzling $1.4 million

By Jeremy Roebuck The Philadelphia Inquirer

Federal authorities are investigating after one of the nation’s largest predominantly African-American fraternities fired a top executive for allegedly embezzling more than $1.4 million to feed a gambling habit, according to court papers filed this week.

Curtis D. Anderson, 57, had been employed for more than 20 years as the finance director for Kappa Alpha Psi, a Philadelphia-based organization with headquarters on North Broad Street.

But between June 2017 and last month, authorities say, he cashed more than 87 checks drawn on the fraternity’s accounts in his own name and those of five other individuals, who he told bank tellers were fraternity employees.

Anderson purportedly confessed to the theft after Santander Bank flagged his unusual transactions and alerted his

bosses, U.S. Postal Inspection Service agents said in papers seeking a judge’s authorization to search his former office.

Just two days later, John Burrell, the fraternity’s executive

“Anderson explained to Burrell and Battles that he had a gambling and drinking problem and that he had spent most of his money at Harrah’s Casino.”

NEW CASTLE COUNTY AUTHORITIES

director, and Thomas Battles, its president, would spot Anderson trying to inconspicuously duck out of a local bank branch as they arrived to discuss their missing money with bank officials, the search warrant affidavit states.

Battles called Anderson on his cellphone and asked him to

return. Once he did, he allegedly admitted that he had stolen the missing money.

“Anderson explained to Burrell and Battles that he had a gambling and drinking problem and that he had spent most of his money at Harrah’s Casino,” authorities said in court filings.

As of Thursday, Anderson had not been charged. Investigators said in their filings that they continue to investigate possible crimes including wire and bank fraud.

Anderson, a Kappa Alpha Psi member since 1981, could not be reached for comment Thursday, and it was not clear whether he had retained an attorney.

Delaware court records show that New Castle County Police arrested him in November on charges of driving under the influence. Those charges are pending.

In a statement released Thursday, Burrell avoided mentioning Anderson by name but acknowledged the federal investigation and that an employee

had been terminated after discovery of financial “irregularities.”

“The fraternity is also conducting a thorough review of its financial operations to continue to enhance oversight and prevent a similar situation in the future,” he wrote.

Founded in 1911 at Indiana University-Bloomington, sKappa Alpha Psi has more than 700 chapters and more than 160,000 members, including former Philadelphia Mayors John F. Street and W. Wilson Goode Sr. Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The Women’s Movement is not the Identifying service animals most important priority right now is easier said than done Katrina Leibee @KatrinaLeibee

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.

People from all genders, races, ethnicities, sexualities and backgrounds took to the streets of cities for the Women’s March Jan. 19.

Pink hats on and signs in the air, everyone came for their own purpose.

There was even a march here in Denver.

However, the Women’s March this year should have been focused on protesting the government shutdown and immigration policy.

Every man, woman and child that took to the streets should have been marching in unity behind the most relevant issues.

No matter what, the Women’s March has become an annual march in support of women’s LGBTQ and reproductive rights and so much more that is outlined on their website.

The first year the Women’s March happened, it was a direct response to the election of Donald Trump. The next year, the march was directed at the #MeToo movement, one of the most important issues going on at the time.

I participated in last year’s march, but this year, I found myself questioning what I would be marching for, as well as who I was marching with.

On the same day as the Women’s March, Donald Trump made an announcement on his plan for immigration and ending the government shutdown. The government was most likely focused on that, not the Women’s March.

On the same day that people

took to the streets to fight for social progress, government workers remained without pay, children remained separated from their families at the border and migrants were faced with violence.

This is not to say that the Women’s March is not valid and necessary. This year, however, not only was the government not paying attention to the Women’s March, the goals of the march were scattered.

GOALS APART OF THE OFFICIAL WOMEN’S MARCH AGENDA ■ Ending violence against Women

and Femmes ■ Ending State Violence ■ Reproductive Rights and Justice ■ Racial Justice ■ LGBTQ Rights ■ Immigrant Rights ■ Economic Justice and Worker’s Rights ■ Civil Rights and Liberties ■ Disability Rights ■ Environmental Justice The march asked the government to accomplish a number of goals and prioritize their larger social progress ideas, such as racial justice, LGBTQ rights and environmental justice to name a few.

The march drew attention away from the issues the country was facing that were more urgent and pressing.

In addition to that, the leaders of the Women’s March faced charges of anti-semitism, and in response Jewish organizations and civil rights groups separated from them. In New York, the

NOPE Adults who act like children.

&

march was divided between two groups.

This led me, and others who considered participating, to question just who we were marching with and who we were standing behind.

When I thought about taking part in the Women’s March this year, I wondered if it was fair of me, a white, privileged, upper-middle-class female to march alongside my family and friends for LGBTQ, reproductive and civil rights when on the same day people at the border remained separated from their families.

On the same day that I would be celebrating feminism and the success of women in the midterm elections, government workers learned that they were not going to be getting paid anytime soon and might not be able to feed their families that night.

I did not feel justified calling attention to my own social agenda in a time where other issues were more dire.

Every item on the agenda of the Women’s March is valid and important, and as feminists we should support the agenda of the Women’s March completely, but those items were not the most important things going on in the United States on Jan. 19.

People took to the streets to ask the government to start making big social change towards the equal treatment of minorities and women, but the government could not do anything while it was shut down.

While those who marched may have had positive intentions in their participation, the march came across as tone deaf. It was unfair of women to march for economic justice and equal pay on the same day that government workers were not getting paid at all.

Dear editor, This is a response to Shay Rego’s article “Faking service dogs on campus is still a growing issue” that ran Jan. 21.

This was a nice article on the issues surrounding service dogs and ESAs. However, in your article you state: “Teachers have just as much responsibility as students.”

Unfortunately, there actually isn’t much that a teacher can do other than follow the legal guidelines or as Rego states, asking the “proper” questions.

By using the term “proper,” I assume that Rego saw the information on the CSU Disability Center’s website, which outlines those questions: “When determining if a dog is a service dog, emotional support animal, or pet, only two questions are legally permitted: Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?”

“It’s nice that it is a criminal offense for fraudulently claiming your dog is a service animal, but that isn’t much help to anyone trying to identify whether a service animal is real.”

It’s nice that it is a criminal offense for fraudulently claiming your dog is a service animal, but that isn’t much help to anyone trying to identify whether a service animal is real.

When someone responds “yes,” that there animal is needed for a disability and states what seems to be a legit task, there is no recourse for the teacher, a fellow student or any citizen because there is no required registration, vest or documentation for a service animal.

Even if there was an ID card, individuals with the dog

are not required “to provide a special identification card or training documentation for the dog.” As Rego states, a fake vest can be easily purchased. For ill-behaved dogs, the teacher can talk to the individual with the dog and ask them to leave, and if they will not, call proper authorities.

Teachers cannot receive help because a student with a service dog is not required to identify or register the animal with any particular office.

It’s nice that it is a criminal offense for fraudulently claiming your dog is a service animal, but that isn’t much help to anyone trying to identify whether a service animal is real.

Considering the important role that a service dog plays in an individual’s life, a better question to ask is why the government does not see a need for a way to easily and quickly identify an individual with a legal service dog.

A simple dog tag that officially recognizes the animal along with an 800 number or website for verification would go a long way to solving this issue. Students, faculty or staff with approved service animals could then identify their animals with the CSU Disability Center. This office could then notify, as it does now as appropriate, teachers that a specific individual is enrolled in their class and will be showing up with a service dog.

For an unannounced class participant or guest with a service animal, the teacher could simply ask to see the dogs tag at the beginning of class, if need be, or the student could volunteer the info to the teacher. If there is some uncertainty, the teacher could then call the number or visit the website and verify the info after class.

Again, thanks for writing the article and the opportunity to express some concerns about what a teacher truly can do to alleviate the situation.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Rams put up a fight in second loss to Fresno State

By Ashley Potts @ashleypotts09

In the midst of a less successful season than they’re used to, it seems the Rams still have some fight in them.

Despite their 7-10 (1-5) record, and a winless record in five tries on the road this year, Colorado State went into their game at Save Mart Center in Fresno confident.

In the first quarter the Rams executed on both sides of the court. They held Fresno’s Candice White to a scoreless first quarter.

Limiting White was a big part of the game plan coming into the game; she finished non-conference play as the Mountain West scoring leader and has been named an Ann Meyers Drysdale Award—for the nation’s best shooting guard—player to watch.

“I saw a team that was really fighting, really tried to execute and offensively, really did a lot of good things,” Coach Ryun Williams said. “Defensively, we did a lot of good things. We did a great job on (Candice) White.

Some of those other kids (from Fresno State) were making plays because we dedicated a lot of attention and space to (White).”

But defense can’t win games alone, as the Rams have shown often this year.

The Rams converted their chances well in the first quarter alongside their stout defensive efforts. They shot 50 percent from the field and held onto the lead for more than six minutes, ending the first up by three.

The second quarter saw the Bulldogs get some of their game back. White started scoring, and her team gained the lead. After

scoring 17 points in their successful first quarter, the Rams only managed nine in the second, eliciting flashbacks from their previous game against Nevada in which they scored single digits in two separate frames.

Fresno held onto the lead until the end of the third. After trailing by single digits the entire third quarter and outscoring Fresno 14-7, the Rams eventually tied things up at 40 at the buzzer, leaving the game up to the winner of the final frame.

The fourth quarter was very evenly matched.

The final stats sheet shows each team having 12 turnovers and 58 possessions with the lead changing hands five times. The lead bounced back and forth, with no one holding on to it for long. It continued that way until Fresno’s Aly Gamez got a steal that turned into a fastbreak and extended her team’s lead to four with only two minutes left to play.

That play seemed to give the Bulldog’s the final burst of energy they needed, as they would go on an unanswered six-point streak to extend their lead to 5650.

Lore Devos managed another score, but the Rams were still behind by four with under a minute left.

Both teams applied a lot of pressure in the final seconds and tried to use their remaining team fouls strategically. But unfortunately, there just wasn’t time for the Rams to come back from the six-point deficit.

Tatum Neubert and Lore Devos both reached double-digit scoring in the game, scoring 18 and 12 points respectively.

The team-high 18 points was the first time this year Neubert

Rams win >> from page 1 CSU’s own leading scorer, Nico Carvacho, to only a pair as well.

Carvacho was still able to contribute six boards en route to the team’s 33-30 lead at the half.

The lead, though only three points, was subtracted from by a Medved technical foul with 1.5 seconds left in the half. The frustration from Medved was something that he attributes to a bevy of emotions during games.

“I think you gotta be emotional all the time, you gotta have an edge about you,” Medved said. “I’ve got a smile but I’ve got an intensity too. I love to win...

Sometimes things get emotional and you’ve got to say what you think you need to say.”

Out of the break, the Rams’ intensity continued with their defense holding the Bulldogs without a point for the second half’s first 5:32. The lack of scoring enabled a 13-0 run by the Rams, expanding their margin to 16.

“We knew that this is a good team, you gotta play for 40 minutes against them,” Medved said.

“They’ve been down before and came back. I really like the way we came out of the locker room and had a really good mentality.”

While their efforts buoyed by

breakouts from both Moore and Paige in the opening 20 minutes, the Rams’ attack was based on a more communal effort in the latter half.

In the second half, four separate Rams racked up multiple makes including a pair of 3-pointers from Anthony Masinton-Bonner late to ignite the Moby Arena faithful.

“I don’t really go by (the freshman role). I just go by being a basketball player and doing what I gotta do on the court.”

KENDLE MOORE FRESHMAN GUARD

With a lead in hand for 28 of the game’s first 30 minutes, the Bulldogs began to garner a comeback behind Taylor’s efforts.

Much of the shrinking deficit was due to a lack of success at the free throw line for Medved’s squad.

“There for a while, their free throw defense was pretty good,” Medved said jokingly. “Basketball is so crazy the way that it goes. Sometim›es missed free throws become contagious.”

In the second half, the team shot 12-of-24 from the charity stripe to add to their total of 18of-32 in the contest.

The 56.3-percent mark from the line was a tie for the fourthworst single-game mark of the year for the hosts.

Their struggles at the foul line notwithstanding, the team maintained the lead for 36:32 of game time, relinquishing it only once in the matchup, though they allowed the Bulldogs within six late in the game.

The win, though likely the biggest of Medved’s tenure thus far, was merely a sign of things to come for the team’s leader.

“We expect nothing less than to play like this every time,” Paige said.

Paige and Moore combined to score 33 in the game, with Kris Martin pitching in 11 of his own.

Carvacho finished a point shy of his 13th double-double (9 points, 14 rebounds) despite his diminished impact early.

Sealing the game with a contested and-one with under a minute left was Moore once again.

“I don’t really go by (the freshman role),” Moore said. “I just go by being a basketball player and doing what I gotta do on the court.”

Following their win over the visiting Bulldogs, the Rams will ready themselves for a Tuesday night home bout against Boise State. Tip-off for their first meeting with the Broncos is set for 7 p.m.

NATIONAL

Kyle Freeland, embracing workhorse mentality heading into 2019

By Kyle Newman The Denver Post

Kyle Freeland turned in a marquee pitching performance for the Rockies in 2018, checking nearly every possible box in a season that saw him emerge as a star on both the local and national stage.

The southpaw set club records for single-season ERA (2.85) and home ERA (2.40). He won 17 games, pitching Colorado into the playoffs for consecutive seasons for the first time in franchise history. And once in October, Freeland delivered one of the most masterful performances in club history, with 6 2/3 scoreless innings in an extra-innings win over the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Beyond his all-star snub and not winning the Cy Young Award—he finished fourth in the National League voting— there wasn’t anything left for Freeland to prove. And now this year, Freeland’s continued, consistent reliability is one of the primary reasons Colorado has no qualms standing behind an already-stated goal, a run at the World Series, before the team even reports to spring training, “Kyle made great strides from 2017 to 2018, but we don’t need great strides from him this year,” manager Bud Black said.

“We just need him to do what he’s very capable of, which is what you saw last year, in order to get where we want to go.”

Freeland explained his mindset heading into 2019, his third year in the bigs, is “not one of those things where I’m trying to top the season before.”

Colorado’s likely Opening Day starter spent this offseason resting and recently re-finding the groove he was on last summer, when his intensity and focus on pitching to weak contact made him the team’s most reliable starter.

“Last offseason we broke down my mechanics and changed things,” Freeland explained. “We took the pause away from the bottom of my delivery and put it at the top, and that allowed me to put my weight on my back side and be more consistent down the mound on all my pitches.

“But this offseason, once we started my dry work, it’s just been more about picking up where I left off.”

After throwing 202 1/3 innings last year—“by far the most I’ve ever thrown,” Freeland notes—he didn’t touch a

ball until the calendar turned to January. In the weeks since, he’s been slowing ramping himself up. He’s currently four 20-pitch bullpens into his training while looking to embrace a workhorse role again this summer, and in the innumerable ones after.

That high-innings vision is complemented by the hybrid workouts the southpaw credits with increasing his stamina in the second half of last season, after he switched up his routine from harder in-season weight lifting to a low-volume, highweight approach.

“My focus is all on building that stamina early, so I don’t have to worry about anything in September and October (or worry about) going deep into games, consistently hitting that 200-inning mark and just being of those guys who is out there six, seven, eight innings every

“The starters, led by Freeland, have become a strong point of our team.

That’s why you’ve seen the success we’ve had the past couple years ...

That’s where a lot of our confidence comes from.

And Freeland is leading (the success), so we expect that to continue.”

time,” Freeland said.

The counted-on production from Freeland—along with German Marquez, a right-hander with sky-high potential—is also sparking early confidence in the team’s core positional players, even in light of a quiet offseason for Colorado in which the club has made considerably less noise than their rivals within the division and the National League overall.

“The starters, led by Freeland, have become a strong point of our team,” shortstop Trevor Story said. “That’s why you’ve seen the success we’ve had the past couple years ...

That’s where a lot of our confidence comes from. And Freeland is leading (the success), so we expect that to continue.”

FIDLAR descends further into madness with ‘Almost Free’

By Henry Netherland @NetherlandHenry

California based surf-punk band FIDLAR is an acronym for Fuck It Dog, Life’s a Risk, and boy, do they live up to that name.

The band consistently delves into the deepest realms of partying and hardcore drugs. I was lukewarm on their self-titled debut because of how homogenized it was. I was much more impressed with their follow-up album, “Too,” which was much more diverse and melodic.

Sober listening “Get Off My Rock” is a bizarre left-turn for the band where they take on a rap-rock fusion. The mix is compressed and clean. I appreciate some of the samples, but as an opener, it falls flat on its face by trading the band’s organic crunchy sound for trendier production that scrubs the sound clean. The rapping could have been much worse, but vocalist Zac Carper still sounds awkward and inexperienced.

Carper’s voice has been consistently whiny since the beginning, but he has always managed to give it a bit of bite through his throat-shredding screams.

“Can’t You See” is comparatively much more listenable.

Some of the chords feel classic rock inspired. The vocals are more laid back and relaxed, but they sound bland.

“By Myself” starts out promising enough with a dry mix of Carper informally singing along to stern guitar strums. Then, the chorus comes in out of nowhere.

A generic dance beat pops in over a chaotic instrumental, which I cannot comprehend whatsoever. The beat is placed so upfront that it overpowers the rest of the instrumental.

Ironically, “Alcohol” could have fit perfectly on the band’s debut. There’s a bit of a blues influence on some of the opening guitar chords, and Carper’s voice feels raw as hell. It also has one of the catchier choruses.

The instrumental cut, “Almost Free,” is okay, but the composition is not really intricate or entertaining enough to justify its existence as just an instrumental cut.

“Scam Likely” is one of the

more upbeat cuts in the tracklist. Once again the chorus lacks stickiness, but I enjoy the sweeter west-coast tinged guitar riffs.

One smoke session later Fortunately, the band does significantly improve in the latter half of the record.

Some of the melodies of the verses on “Called You Twice” heavily remind me of “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by The Proclaimers. There’s definitely an emo vibe on some of the lyrical choices and guitar tones. The lyrics are a little sappy, but they feel genuine. K. Flay holds her own thanks to her unique vocal style.

“Nuke” is less than 40 seconds long, but it makes a larger impact than much of the tracklist with its explosive ball of energy.

I can appreciate the lyrical direction the band was going in on “Too Real,” but the production is so muddy and morphed that the message is incomprehensible. Eventually, the band peaks with an electric chorus, but it’s hard not to cringe at lyrics like “Was that too f*ckin’ real?”

“Thought. Mouth.” has some hit or miss moments, but I enjoy the numerous instrumental phases the band inserts in a relatively short time.

THE PATH TO LEADERSHIP IS ALSO THE PATH TO A COLLEGE EDUCATION.

OVERALL RATING: 4/10 ■ Best songs: ”Good Times Are

Over,” “Alcohol,” “Nuke,” “Called You Twice” and “Thought. Mouth.”

■ Worst song: ”Get Off My Rock” The album closer, “Good Times Are Over,” is a pretty straight-to-the-point pop-punk banger. It isn’t pushing any boundaries, but it easily has the most infectious hook.

I can appreciate the band really trying to branch out of their usual sound, but they execute these ideas in the clumsiest fashion possible. In addition, the majority of the new ideas lead the band into just going more commercial. On “Almost Free,” the band is best when they are trying to write straightforward, punk bangers.

Everytime they go outside their comfort zone, they just sound awkward and unbearable. Not to mention their inability to venture topically outside of drugs and partying can be pretty mind-numbing.

CULTURE & COMMUNITY

‘Steel Magnolias’ proves timeless through audience support

By Molly Strader @mkstrader

“Steel Magnolias” brings a modern classic to local theater.

The show premiered Jan. 19 at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins. Written by Robert Harling in 1987 to cope with the death of his sister, the timeless story follows the lives of six women in a 1980s Louisiana beauty shop. OpenStage Theatre & Company, a nonprofit organization hoping to bring culture to Northern Colorado, produced the show and CSU professor Debbie Swann took the role of director.

“These women help shape the story while making it their own.”

DEBBIE SWANN DIRECTOR

The show drew in fans of the funny yet heartbreaking story, which became a movie in 1989.

“I am a big fan of the story in general and the movie, and

I was looking for a chance to get out and see some local theater,” said Fort Collins resident Neely Goree. “It is clear why people care for the story. The characters form bonds with each other and the audience through shared stories of love and life. Their ability to support and care for one another in spite of their differences is heartwarming.”

Swann also shares a long history with the story.

“As someone who grew up knowing the story, I sometimes take for granted how wonderful it feels to see this story play out for the first time,” said Swann.

The actors made the characters even more lovable through their small on-stage hiccups and natural recoveries. “There are some amazing women in the cast I have been excited to work with, and this was the perfect opportunity,” said Swann. “These women help shape the story while making it their own.”

The story is a testimony to women. Through many difficult times, the women stay incredibly strong. As indicated

Spiced wine for 5 new albums to look out for in 2019 the winter blues

We’re only a few days into the semester, and students already feel like downing a massive glass of wine at the end of the day. This spiced wine recipe not only satisfies my end-of-day cravings, but is a great way to warm up on a cold, winter night. The best part is that cheap wine and whiskey won’t screw the whole thing up, so jump for those discount bottles before splurging. I’ve tried both and, surprisingly, the cheap stuff takes the cake.

This recipe was inspired by a friend of mine from Austria. We were exchanging holiday traditions and while my family does partake in alcoholic beverages every holiday season, we lack any specific recipes. I decided to try out my own version and I absolutely love the stuff! Cinnamon, wine and whiskey? Dreams really do come true.

Typically, this recipe includes star anise, but I like it better without. If you happen to be a big fan of the spice, then just add two whole star anise along with the cinnamon sticks and voila!

Toss all that goodness in a pot, cover and let cook for an hour on very low heat. Check on it every

Personally, I prefer my spiced wine at the end of a very long day paired with a movie and some macaroni and cheese, but it also makes for a delicious holiday cocktail. Enjoy!

The year 2019 is here, and plenty of new music is on its way.

Although there will be countless releases throughout the coming months, here are five albums to keep an eye out for: Schoolboy Q: To Be Announced Top Dawg Entertainment’s Schoolboy Q has announced his plans to release his next album in 2019. Since dropping his previous albums “Oxymoron” in 2014 and “Blank Face LP” in 2016, Q has a built a track record of quality releases. After a couple of years of silence, the rapper is ready to continue building his reputation and put out another project. While details are still yet to be known, Schoolboy Q has created a big name for himself, and in 2019, he plans to keep that name going.

Tame Impala: To Be Announced Kevin Parker, also known as the mastermind behind Tame Impala, plans to release another album under the project in 2019.

Tame Impala is best known for their album “Currents,” which released in July of 2015. Since its release, Tame Impala has been at the forefront of modern psychedelic pop/rock with their smooth, spacey and atmospheric sound.

While many may aim to replicate this vibe, people should look forward to hearing more of it from the source in 2019.

Skepta: “SkLevel” From North London, Skepta has become a staple of the United Kingdom rap scene known as “grime”. Skepta has been responsible for the massive rise of grime in not only the U.K., but around the world. Skepta’s 2016 album, “Konnichiwa,” showcases his collection of high-energy, industrial instrumentals over his engaging

flow and witty lyricism. Skepta has consistently pushed the limits of grime’s appearance in the public eye, and whether or not he will continue to do so with “SkLevel” is yet to be known.

Kanye West: “Yandhi” Kanye West has done anything but fly under the radar in the past year. From publicity stunts to Twitter rants, his name appeared in a lot of headlines. His ninth solo album, “Yandhi,” is to possibly release this year, but the project has been prone to delays in the past when it was originally supposed to release on Black Friday of 2018. It is still unknown whether Kanye will deliver this time around, but after the release of his introspective and simplistic album “Ye” last year and the rest of his critically acclaimed discography, many people wonder what angle he will pursue next.

The Raconteurs: To Be Announced The Raconteurs are a rock

supergroup lead by Jack White, who came to fame for his work with Meg White as the White Stripes. The last Raconteurs album to come out was in 2008, titled “Consolers of the Lonely,” which featured a very bluesy, folkish sound that easily captivated listeners. After 11 years of inactivity, it’s hard to say what to expect from the group, but if their past releases are any indication, it’ll be something to keep an eye out for.
