Scam emails from compromised CSU accounts attack campus inboxes

By Samantha Ye @samxye4

Students and staff beware: a fresh wave of fraudulent emails have struck Colorado State University inboxes.

Offers of fake jobs, faculty opportunities and demands to sign a digital document have popped up in higher volumes than usual this semester, with many coming from compromised CSU email addresses.

The number of attacks in the

past week, while not unusual, has come in at rates several times higher than the normal “background noise” level, said Steve Lovaas, CSU information security officer.

Part of the reason is the time of the year. A start of a new semester means most everyone has new schedules and some people may be new to campus. “(The attackers) are counting on a few people not knowing for sure whether they should click or not and going ahead and saying

‘OK, I’ll click on this and do what they ask,’” Lovaas said.

The start of last fall semester also saw a number of attacks aimed at getting access to student’s RamWeb accounts.

Recent attacks have leaned more toward scams like fake parttime job offers. The Career Center sent out an email at the beginning of the semester instructing students on how to detect fraudulent job offers during this busy recruitment season.

“As students are getting ready

for summer internships, getting ready for graduation, we tend to see a spike in this type of activity,” said Jon Cleveland, executive director of Career Services.

About 10 to 20 fake job listings are reported to the Career Center every year, Cleveland said.

Some are about scams which made it onto RamWeb listings, though the center has a team which screens each individual job listing, making those occurrences rare.

More commonly, fraudulent

scams come from direct communication through public accounts like LinkedIn or through student emails, Cleveland said. Students’ CSU emails are available on the CSU Directory unless the student removes it themselves.

Cleveland highly recommends students check with the Career Center if they feel something is amiss with a potential job posting.

FORT COLLINS FOCUS

Senior soil and crop sciences major Bo Collins fills planter pots with soil inside the Plant Growth Facilities greenhouse Thursday morning. The pots are for a class exercise to study the effect of adding worms to soil to increase its nutrient content. Collins originally became interested in farming and soil while living in Thailand in his early twenties. After owning a farm in South Carolina, he came to Fort Collins to further his education on these topics. “I’m trying my best to educate myself, so I can better communicate the importance of soil and these issues to the nonscientific world,” he said.

Freshman applications at the University of California drop

By Teresa Watanabe & Suhauna Hussain Los Angeles Times

For the first time in 15 years, the number of would-be freshmen applying to the University of California has dropped, the first sign that a national trend of declining college enrollment could be hitting the West Coast.

Applications for the coming school year dipped by 3 percent to 176,530, according to preliminary UC data released last week. The drop could be a temporary blip, experts said. Among the system’s nine undergraduate campuses, only three — UCLA, UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz — saw declines in freshman applications.

But the number of students graduating from California high schools is forecast to top out in six years. And that demographic trend already has hit the nation’s northeastern states, where birthrates began declining years ago and enrollment has dropped even at elite institutions, such as Princeton University and MIT. “What the California system is experiencing this year is just a taste of some of the challenges it

will experience in a decade or so,” said Nathan D. Grawe, a Carleton College professor of economics and social sciences, and author of “Demographics and the Demand for Higher Education.”

UC officials said it was difficult to pinpoint reasons for the drop in freshman applications.

Possibilities include a decrease in the number of high school graduates; wildfires and other natural disasters that could have made it harder for students to apply; an incentive to enroll in community college using a new state waiver of tuition for the first year; and the deterrent of newly restrictive federal immigration policies, said Han Mi Yoon-Wu, the UC system’s interim associate vice president and director of undergraduate admissions.

Another possibility is that students are applying to fewer campuses after years of doing the opposite, said Youlonda Copeland-Morgan, UCLA vice provost of enrollment management. Nationally, 35 percent of prospective first-time freshmen applied to seven or more colleges in 2016 _ more than double the rate from a decade earlier, according to the National Association for College Admission Counseling.

“Over the years, high school students have been totally stressed out about where to apply,” Copeland-Morgan said. “We’ve put a lot of emphasis in talking to students across the state that it’s not necessary to apply to 10 schools. We want

them to make informed decisions and understand their best fit.”

At L.A.’s Downtown Magnets High School, college counselor Lynda McGee speculated that students are increasingly discouraged from applying to UC because of

the system’s low acceptance rates.

Students think they’re not good enough, she said.

UCLA, for instance, is the most popular campus for applicants in see UCLA on page 5 >>

dresses, and the apparent “senders” were listed on the directory.

“Once one person’s credentials are compromised, that one person’s email account can be used to spread an awful lot of phishing internally. And that can escalate pretty quickly.”

“By all means, contact the Career Center,” Cleveland said.

“Students should never hesitate to reach out to us to get help with that vetting process.”

In addition, the Student Employment Services website contains a section on dealing with employment fraud.

Common signs can be if the offer is unsolicited or if it is hard to identify the employer or recruiter, as is often the case in “personal assistant” roles. If the pay sounds too good to be true in relation to the workload, that can be another red flag, Cleveland said.

Sometimes, scammers will pretend to be associated with CSU to appear more legitimate as well. In the recent rash of scams, many came from what appeared to be CSU email ad-

STEVE LOVAAS CSU INFORMATION SECURITY OFFICER

The first involves forging the sender name of an email so it appears to come from an address the recipient may trust.

Those emails come from external servers, and while fairly easy to fake, CSU security filters are also better at catching them.

The bulk of these recent attacks, however, have come

from compromised CSU email accounts, Lovaas said. Attackers who obtain users’ login credentials through various means can send out emails as that person. Although CSU’s password length and update requirements do not lend themselves to this, breaches can still happen.

If an attacker is skilled, they can then craft more targeted, legitimate-looking attacks and convince other internal users to hand over their information.

“Once one person’s credentials are compromised, that one person’s email account can be used to spread an awful lot of phishing internally,” Lovaas said. “And that can escalate pretty quickly.”

That’s why Academic and Computer Networking Services are working “fast and furious” to resolve the security breaches, Lovaas said. This involves disabling compromised account passwords, informing owners of those accounts, and cleaning up as many suspect emails as pos-

sible from inboxes which have not yet opened them.

IF YOUR EMAIL HAS BEEN COMPROMISED ■ 1. Delete the email and move on.

■ 2. Send the email to abuse@

colostate.edu for them to evaluate.

■ 3. Report the message to the Career Center if you are unsure of its validity.

■ 4. Contact CSUPD at 970-4916425 if you feel unsafe.

Those whose accounts were breached are asked to complete a short, video-based training program about online safety.

CSU emails are either Office 365 or Google Suite accounts which, for attackers, means they can reach a wide target pool by subverting just one set of common filters. In light of recent at-

tacks, ACNS is evaluating additional protections, Lovaas said, but they would not be cheap.

“Cloud-based security tools tend to be quite expensive and so it’s an exercise in prioritizing budgets,” Lovaas said.

For those who want to see if their email has been compromised, Lovaas suggests running your email through the website “Have I Been Pwned?” for a basic search.

If anyone has further questions about the security of their account, they can reach out to Lovaas at steven.lovaas@colostate.edu.

If a student receives a scam email, Lovaas said they can simply delete it. They can also forward it to abuse@colostate.edu which deals with such things and would allow them to take quick action. If anything in the email makes the student feel unsafe, they should also contact the CSU Police Department (970) 491-6425.

Parents sue former Penn State fraternity members in son’s death

By Susan Snyder The Philadelphia Inquirer

The parents of Tim Piazza, who died after an alcohol-fueled fraternity pledge party at Pennsylvania State University two years ago, filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against 28 former members of the fraternity, but settled with Penn State without filing a lawsuit, their lawyer said.

Neither the university nor Jim and Evelyn Piazza and their lawyer, Thomas R. Kline, would disclose the terms of the financial settlement with Penn State. They previously settled with the fraternity, Beta Theta Pi; the monetary terms of that agreement also were not disclosed.

As with the Beta Theta Pi agreement, the settlement with Penn State also includes a number of non-monetary terms aimed at making the school safer for other students.

“This leaves the civil suit to focus on holding accountable the individuals who planned and participated in the reckless hazing activities which caused Tim’s death,” Kline said in a statement Friday. “We expect this federal lawsuit to result in a trial to determine the shared responsibility of all those who contributed to the needless and senseless tragedy.”

In February 2017, Piazza, a sophomore engineering major from New Jersey, drank copious amounts of alcohol at a pledge party as part of a hazing ritual and later fell down a flight of stairs.

No one called for help for nearly 12 hours, and Piazza later died.

Dozens of fraternity members were charged in his death,

though some of the most serious charges, including involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault, were thrown out in Centre County Court.

Twenty-three former Beta Theta Pi members have entered pleas to charges including hazing, conspiracy to commit hazing, and furnishing alcohol to minors, Joe Grace, a spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office, said this month. Three cases remain open.

Video surveillance from the fraternity house on the night Piazza was fatally injured was played in court, showing Piazza and others moving through a drinking gantlet and chugging alcohol. The video also showed Piazza in the early morning staggering and falling in the fraternity house, dropping to his knees, clutching his injured head, and no one helping him.

Among the members named in the lawsuit are former fraternity President Brendan Young of Malvern and Daniel Casey of Ronkonkoma, N.Y., the pledge master.

The federal civil suit also names St. Moritz Security Systems Inc., which previously monitored fraternity parties for Penn State’s Interfraternity Council.

The suit accuses the members of planning and orchestrating the hazing event that led to Piazza’s death.

Fraternity members, the suit said, “negligently, recklessly, and outrageously forced, coerced, encouraged, or otherwise caused ... Piazza to consume life-threatening amounts of alcohol, and caused him to become intoxicated, fall, and suffer grievous inju-

ries and death.”

The suit seeks monetary damages from the defendants. The lawsuit has no relationship to the defendants’ parents’ assets, Kline said. If the Piazzas are successful, judgments would be lodged against the young men and would “need to be paid with assets that they have now or in the future.”

Rocco Cipparone Jr., who represents defendant Michael Bonnatucci of Georgia, however, said the parents’ homeowner policies could come into play if they cover negligence of those who live in the home.

William J. Brennan, who formerly represented Ems, questioned the impact of guilty pleas entered by some members.

“Unfortunately, for those who have entered guilty pleas, there may be collateral effects that hamper their ability to defend the civil case,” he said. “I wish them all well, as I do the Piazza family. This is a tragedy, but not all tragedies are crimes.”

Cipparone said he doesn’t expect an effect in his client’s case.

Although his client did plead guilty to several counts of hazing and conspiracy to commit hazing, none of the counts directly involved Piazza, he said.

“He had no interaction with Timothy Piazza that night at all,” Cipparone said.

Under the Piazzas’ agreement with Penn State, the university will encourage fraternities to

have a non-member, a trained adult, living in their houses, and to consider installing security cameras on their premises. The school pledged to continue to honor its permanent ban of Beta Theta Pi from campus and even to change some of the wording of its Greek life activities, including no longer using “pledge” or “pledging” on its website, instead saying “new member” or “new member affiliation activities.”

The settlement also includes a continuation of changes the university implemented after Piazza’s death, such as better education and training on issues such as alcohol and hazing.

UCLA >> from page 3 the nation. For each of the last three years, it collected more than 110,000 applications for about 5,700 seats for freshmen. For the fall term, applications to the Westwood campus dipped slightly — by about 2 percent — but still numbered 111,266.

“The state schools are getting harder and harder to get into, and their financial aid is getting stingier and stingier,” McGee said. “I feel (that) for students who have done very well in school, private school and out-of-state public school is the answer.”

McGee’s son Roman refused to apply to a single UC campus, she said, and plans to attend his top choice of Northwestern University, just outside Chicago, in the fall. He said he wanted to experience life away from home.

Another Downtown Magnets student, Joshua Sto. Domingo, says he likes UC schools and top-rated liberal arts schools on the East Coast, including Amherst College in Massachusetts and Bowdoin College in Maine. He is particularly impressed by UC Irvine.

“Their political science program is renowned,” he said. “The

majority of their graduate students get into top-notch graduate schools.”

Another benefit: California is a safer place because he lacks legal status to live in the U.S.

“The state schools are getting harder and harder to get into, and their financial aid is getting stingier and stingier. I feel (that) for students who have done very well in school, private school and outof-state public school is the answer.”

LYNDA MCGEE COLLEGE COUNSELOR

Among underrepresented minorities, freshman applications dipped for fall 2019, and overall, freshman applications declined among students from California, as well as other states and foreign countries.

Jacob Jackson, research fellow with the Public Policy Institute of California, said the decline in nonresident applicants began a few years ago and could be tied to the limit on out-of-state and interna-

tional students that the UC Board of Regents approved in 2017. However, the number of applications from students who are low-income and the first in their families to attend college increased slightly over last year. Applications from transfer students also inched upward, by 1 percent to 35,178, for fall 2019 among students from California community colleges.

Grawe says UC will have less of a reason to worry about a drop-off in enrollment than other college systems in California. Rising education levels among parents and a growing Asian-American population will provide buffers for highly selective universities, he said.

Still, he predicts that the number of California students who attend college will drop by 15 percent overall by 2029. The prediction is a reduction of 17 percent for those who attend community colleges, but only 6 percent for those who attend the nation’s top 50 universities, including UCLA, Berkeley, Santa Barbara, Irvine, Davis and San Diego.

“The landscape is more forgiving for selective institutions,” Grawe said.

But the potential for a lengthy decline in enrollment, following similar trends across the U.S., has raised questions about the bevy of construction projects under consideration on UC campuses to accommodate the record enrollment

of the last few years. UC and California State University are exploring putting a measure on the 2020 ballot for an $8 billion construction bond. Gov. Gavin Newsom also has proposed funding a study on building a new Cal State campus, possibly in Stockton.

Nathan Brostrom, UC’s chief financial officer, said much of the money the system is seeking is

needed to repair existing buildings and for upgrades for earthquake safety. UC’s growth has strained campuses in need of more classrooms, teaching labs and student housing.

“We are playing catch-up on most of our campuses,” he said in an email.

Should college drinking habits be considered alcoholism?

It isn’t news to anyone that most college students drink. Many anecdotes people take away from their college experience include smuggling alcohol into the dorms and nights out at the bars. Our two columnists debate if college drinking patterns are a form of alcoholism.

Shay Rego @shay_rego

Editor’s Note: The views expressed in the following column are those of the writer only and do not necessarily represent the views of The Collegian or its editorial board.

Many college students use their rigorous workload as an excuse to day drink or spend weekends downing a bottle of liquor. All this excessive drinking is normalized as typical college behavior when it’s actually encouraging alcoholism and creating young alcoholics.

Typical college drinking patterns are in fact forms of alcoholism. While these drinking patterns may not be extreme forms of alcoholism, it’s alcohol abuse in its early stages.

It’s the commonality of these drinking patterns which normalizes it, not allowing students to realize the reality of being an alcoholic.

Alcoholism is a spectrum ranging from frequent social drinking to high-functioning. Binge drinking is the most common drinking behavior among college participants. This habit is an early form of alcoholism which can later develop into something more severe. According to the National Institute on Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse, 20 percent of college students meet the criteria for an alcohol use disorder.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorder-5 (DSM-5) uses a set of 11 factors to determine the severity of an alcohol use disorder. If a person experiences at least two of the 11 factors, this is considered a diagnosis of mild alcohol disorder. Binge drinkers usually fit this criteria.

While binge drinking may seem more applicable to social drinking situations, Alcohol Rehab Guide argues that an increasing number of young adults are just drinking to get drunk despite the occasion. Alcohol.

org also categorizes social drinking and binge drinking as the first stage of Katrina alcoholism.

Rego argues that 20 percent of college students meet the criteria for alcohol use disorder, but that does not mean those 20 percent are engaging in typical college drinking patterns.

What we are talking about is whether patterns such as social drinking and occasional binge drinking truly count as alcoholism, even at its lowest level.

Rego also argues that binge drinking is a form of alcoholism because once binge drinkers start drinking, they cannot stop. However, according to Rego’s source addiction. com, even though binge drinkers consume it in great quantity, they are typically not alcohol-dependent, which is necessary to constitute true alcoholism.

Rego’s argument is hyper-focused on how binge drinking constitutes alcoholism, but typical college drinking patterns extend beyond just binge drinking.

Another pattern in college is social drinking. According to one study, students revealed that the principal purpose for drinking is to engage in social interactions. However, the Mayo Clinic states that a symptom of actual alcoholism is actually retreating from social and work activities.

If typical college drinking patterns were a form of alcoholism, then many students would be failing to fulfill their academic and work obligations, as well as having so much of a dependency that they bring it to unsafe or inappropriate situations.

Initial alcoholism is not always obvious. It is slow and discreet, and the addicted person and their loved ones will do everything in their power to deny its existence.

The phrase “I’m an alcoholic” has heavy emotional weight for many people. Those words should be treated with respect and reserved for those who have experienced the struggles of this disease, not college binge drinkers who have never seen how alcohol can destroy people’s lives.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Rams soar past Falcons behind the lead of familiar faces

By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

The formula regarding lineup construction for Niko Medved has been an everchanging one thus far. Through the season’s first 21 games, Colorado State has put forth four different lineup combinations, with only one of the four changing due to injury.

With the team near full strength once again, Medved appears to be cracking the code.

Medved has settled on a starting five of Nico Carvacho, Adam Thistlewood, Kris Martin, J.D. Paige and Kendle Moore that has been stagnant since their double-digit win over New Mexico Jan. 12, with Anthony Masinton-Bonner and Hyron Edwards coming off the bench.

The lineup proved to be successful against Air Force once again as CSU won 85-53.

The final margin was the second-largest in the rivalry’s history.

In their second and final regular-season contest against the Falcons, the game paid homage to the Rams prior victory.

From the onset, courtesy of a Martin 3-pointer, the Rams held the lead in the opening half, a margin they maintained for the game’s entirety.

With a hefty Rams’ contingency backing their efforts, the visitors jumped out to an early lead buoyed by the leadership of their backcourt.

Of the team’s first 16 points, 14 came from the hand of a Rams guard. After Martin scored the first three points,

Bonner scored five of the next 11 off of the bench.

Though their guards led the scoring charge, the rebounding was a communal effort. In the first half, the Rams outrebounded the Falcons 18-9.

Their stronghold on the interior, paired with a hot streak from outside, led to lopsided efficiency as well.

“Any time you can score (in the paint), you can score from three,” Medved said. “We only made one 3-pointer in the first half, but we were able to keep attacking ... it all starts with getting easy baskets.”

In the first half, the Rams shot a blistering 63 percent from the field en route to their 42-25 halftime lead. The hosts, plagued by outside woes, shot only 38.5 percent from the field, nailing only 5-of-16 3-point attempts.

“We put defense before offense this game. We let our defense create our offense and when we do that, I don’t think anyone can beat us.”

ANTHONY MASINTON-BONNER REDSHIRT JUNIOR GUARD

Among Carvacho’s first-half bounty, the big man passed Rich Strong on the program’s career rebounds list. His new total of 815—following his 14th double-double on the year (20 points, 14 rebounds)—sits at second, only 36 shy of Pat Durham for the program’s top

tally (851).

“I’m trying to get that one spot here soon,” Carvacho said.

With their third lopsided half of 2019 in as many tries against the Falcons, the Rams continued their roll out of the intermission.

In the concluding half’s first 10 minutes, the Rams outscored the Falcons 23-11. The stretch included an 8-0 run and a pair of Falcon’s scoreless sprees, each lasting over three minutes.

After an early surge from their guards, the Rams followed the lead of their bigs en route to extending their lead. After 20 points in the paint in the first half, CSU tacked on 18 in the second to bring their total to 38 following the lead of Carvacho.

In comparison, the Falcons only garnered 11 points inside.

“I think it was (Carvacho’s) third and-one of the second half, (I told him) ‘you a beast’,” Bonner said. “We know what he (brings) every night.”

With their offense relegated to beyond the arc, the Falcons shooting percentage suffered.

Their 27.6-percent mark from outside was down from their season average of 31.8, an average that sat dead last in the Mountain West prior to the bout.

“We put defense before offense this game,” Bonner said.

“We let our defense create our offense and when we do that, I don’t think anyone can beat us.”

In their cruise to the finish, the Rams played seven separate players double-digit minutes.

In all, 10 of the 12 Rams that touched the floor scored in the

matchup, much to the delight of the guys on the bench. “(The guys on the bench) come to practice every single day not knowing if they’re going to play,” Carvacho said. “(They) give us the best look on scout team and play hard and they’re always there for us ... It’s something we gotta do for them.”

The Rams will head home to prepare for their final regular season contest against the leader of the MW, No. 7 Nevada. In the two team’s last game, the Rams succumbed to a close halftime tally, falling 100-60.

Tip-off is set for 8 p.m.

Wednesday with the hosts dawning their State Pride uniforms.

CSU claws their way to victory over Air Force

By Sergio Santistevan @TheRealsSergio

If all good things must come to an end, the same must hold true for bad things.

After dropping their 13game winning streak against Air Force Academy earlier this season, CSU got revenge over their in-state rivals and in the process ended their more recent seven-game losing streak to improve to 8-12 (2-7) on the season.

The Rams went into the matchup playing without redshirt sophomore and starting guard Grace Colaivalu, so other players were tasked with ball-handling duties against a tough defensive-pressure team in the Falcons.

“We just needed a win.

We were desperate for a win. We asked the kids just whatever it takes, find a way.”

RYUN WILLIAMS HEAD COACH

“I would have rather played any team today other than Air Force because their pressure is so relentless,” Head Coach Ryun Williams said. “Mollie (Mounsey) and Lore (Devos) were tremendous handling the ball.”

CSU struggled from the early jump to gain any sort of momentum on offense. The Rams

had several turnovers in the first few minutes to put them in a situation they’ve grown familiar with this season: overcoming an early deficit. The offense continued to fall stagnant throughout the opening quarter as the Rams ended on a 3:36 scoring drought, making one of their last eight field goals.

Going into the second quarter, the Rams defense remained superb as the offense looked to find their stroke.

Fortunately, the rhythm was found and the offense built an 8-0 scoring run to cut the Falcons lead. CSU’s defense held the Falcons to a whopping 28.6 field goal percentage in the quarter.

Williams said that the team was a lot more active on the defensive side compared to their last matchup with the Falcons, where their zone coverage wasn’t as intense. After shooting 21.4 percent in the first quarter, the Rams improved their percentage in the second to an impressive 50 percent behind Devos’ efforts in the paint, and went into halftime trailing by only two.

The Rams’ defense continued their dominance in the third quarter by holding the Falcons scoreless for nearly five minutes of action. Despite gaining the lead in the quarter, the Rams still trailed going into the final ten minutes.

In the fourth quarter, the Rams started to fire on all cylinders. CSU went on a 13-0 run and forced Air Force to

take outside shots to build a seven-point lead with a little under four minutes remaining. The Falcons were able to shrink the lead to two, but the Rams never folded in the final minute.

“We just needed a win. We were desperate for a win,” Williams said. “We asked the kids just whatever it takes, find a way.”

Guard/Forward Myanne Hamm was tremendous in the matchup and didn’t allow anything easy to go through the

Rams defense as she totaled eight steals and nine points.

Devos continued her success this season by adding 17 points and seven rebounds.

Tatum Neubert totaled a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds, along with a perfect free throw percentage.

CSU has now won 14 of the last 15 matchups against the Falcons, but more importantly they have gained some momentum going forward.

“I think our team has showed great character in clawing and trying to move the

needle and continue to get better,” Williams said. “Although they might think the mountain that they are climbing is made of sand and they aren’t going that far, they are making some progress.”

The Rams will look to continue to climb that mountain Wednesday against the University of Nevada, Reno. The game is set to tip off at 7:30 p.m.

Black History Month 2019 kicks off with a night of statues, song

By Graham Shapley @shapleygraham

Black History Month is a time of remembrance and recognition for the Black individuals who have shaped not just the United States’ culture and history, but the world’s. This year, the Colorado State University’s for Black History Month is “reclamation.” “(Reclamation) is the process of reclaiming something back, or of reasserting a right,” said Ally Johnson, a senior studying psychology with a clinical counseling concentration, in her introduction to the event. “This theme was chosen this year by Black Definition, the council of Black student organization presidents here at CSU, to honor the struggle that many of us face as African-Americans today in reclaiming our time, our spaces, our narratives, our bodies, our voices, and our work and contributions throughout history and pre-slavery.”

“We really need to understand that all cultures and all people who are Black need to be respected and acknowledged for their contributions to society.”

BRITTANY SOLOMON SENIOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES MAJOR

The Black and African American Cultural Center kicked off Black History Month with a performance and demonstration celebrating the beginning of Black History Month in the Lory Student Center Theatre Feb. 1.

The kickoff featured music, choreography, spoken-word poetry and rap. Food, drinks and cake were served to accompany the performances.

The theme of the event came through every performer and speaker, demonstrating the struggle to reclaim a Black identity in a society that punishes those identities and tries to hide the historical oppression it has enforced. “(Black History Month) gives me a space to be myself in a world where I’m not allowed to be myself,” said Michaelah Coleman, a sophomore communication studies major. Coleman provided the opening performance of the event, singing J. Cole’s “Be Free.”

At the same time, the event recognized the ways Black people changed the world outside of

an American point of view. “(Black History Month) is a celebration of Black people all around the world,” said Brittany Soloman, a graduating senior studying International Studies with a concentration in European Studies, who also sang at the event. “We really need to understand that all cultures and all people who are Black need to be respected and acknowledged for their contributions to society.”

“It’s important for people to come together, to see everybody’s talents. That’s what pushed me to perform.”

MICHAELAH COLEMAN SOPHOMORE COMMUNICATION STUDIES MAJOR

The event also highlighted “living statues,” in which students dressed up as influential Black individuals throughout history. Each gave a short speech about their own history, which provided an educational component to the night. Investigative journalist and teacher Ida B. Wells, popular musician Alicia Keys and environmentalist Majora Carter were just a few of the Black individuals celebrated.

The performers felt that it was important that their skills be displayed at the event.

“It’s the first day of Black History Month,” Coleman said. “It’s important for people to come together, to see everybody’s talents. That’s what pushed me to perform.”

Other performers had a similar motivation to come together and express themselves.

“I don’t think I express my Blackness enough at CSU,” Soloman said. “I felt like it would be really helpful for me to be a part of this.”

Sophomore communication studies major Ellison Hubbard writes ‘my mind’ on the ‘What are you reclaiming?’ whiteboard at the Black History Month Kick-Off Feb. 1. “I feel like I kind of lost my mind,” Hubbard said. “I was focused on things that weren’t helping me; I want to refocus on important things.” PHOTO BY AJ FRANKSON

FOR MORE INFORMATION ■ The full schedule of events for

Black History Month is available at baacc.colostate.edu.

Johnson said the significance of Black History Month lies in more than bringing attention to marginalization.

“Like our ancestors and the indigenous peoples on this land before them, we are more than a single story,” said Johnson. “We are more than what’s been taken from us.”

Fort Collins Symphony presents season 69 of Odyssey: Sound Travels

By Lyra Wiley @lyra_wiley

Wes Kenney has been a music conductor for close to 50 years.

Through his conductor position, he has had opportunities to perform all around the world in places like China, the Czech Republic and France. These trips have taught him how cultural differences can affect how Western music is perceived.

Now in continuation with his position as a music professor at Colorado State University, he directed a Masterworks 3 concert, “London to Leningrad” Saturday, Feb. 2.

The program, which was held at the Lincoln Center, combined strings and wind instruments to play music from George Frideric

Handel, Igor Stravinsky and Dmitri Shostakovich.

“The music explains itself quite clearly, and I encourage people to research the music that they love because these master composers spent a lifetime learning and researching and experimenting.”

HSING-AY HSU PROFESSIONAL PIANIST

“In this concert, we are featuring our winds more. Handel’s ‘Music for the Royal Fireworks’

is stately and tuneful and easy for the audience to grasp in its pageantry,” Kenney said. “Stravinsky’s ‘Concerto for Piano and Wind Instrument is a rarely played work, but it a workout for everyone. Jazz influences and blatant dissonance are combined with virtuosic pyrotechnics from all involved.”

Norman Gonzales, the principal flute artist, has been performing for the Fort Collins Symphony for six seasons.

“Performing is such a rush,” Gonzales said. “You only have one shot to execute the notes you have to play in a given piece. I’m up there doing what I love to do, but at the same time, I’m sharing this great music.”

The first half of the concert also featured guest artist and pianist, Hsing-ay Hsu. She first performed at the age of four and has

since played at venues like Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center.

“Initially when I played, I just wanted to do a good job,” Hsu said. “Over the years, however, it became about making a deep emotional connection with people from all walks of life. As an immigrant, it was very difficult to find a social in, but through great music, I found that I could share a great moment with just about anybody.”

Hsu, who played Stravinsky during the second part of the program, “Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments,” said that her music might be intimidating for people who are unfamiliar with it. “The music explains itself quite clearly, and I encourage people to research the music that they love because these master composers spent a lifetime learning and researching and experimenting,”

Essential oils fuse science and emotions to create appeal

By Maddie Wright @maddiewright

Taking a calming lavender bath at the end of the day definitely sounds appealing.

But, essential oils come from a certain level of science and emotional appeal that create the expected response.

First, we have to look at how essential oils work with our brains. Molecules bind to cell membranes that are receptors inside us. Essential oils bind with these receptors, resulting in chemical actions.

“The action can be production of something like dopamine, where the action can be allowing ions to move across the...membrane and these receptors are there,” said Colorado State University chemistry professor, Anthony Rappe, Ph.D. “The pharmaceuticals, these drug molecules, they’re not naturally in us, and so there aren’t actually receptors for them, they bind to a receptor that is naturally there to do something else.”

Basically, receptors for molecules exist inside of us to cause actions. But, they exist primarily for substances that are naturally inside of us.

“If it interacts with the body, then it’s eliciting a biological response,” Rappe said.

Part of this has to do with things that are aromatics, something emitting a pleasant smell. From a chemistry standpoint, there are compounds that encourage a specific reac-

tion. Research of this goes past the essential oils concept and into a wide range of things, like wine aromatic research.

“I’m working with wine, so what we do is, the bulk of our stuff is with wine chemistry, but I’ve done some stuff in the past about wine aromas,” said CSU enology professor, Stephen Menke, Ph.D. “It was taking the wine from a different variety of grapes and the wine that we made from them..., and seeing their aromatic profile and how it differs from the other ones that are known already.

That involves a tasting panel that taste it and see if they agree with what the chemistry says.”

Compared to Menke’s research, essential oils are not always scientifically supported.

“Most of the things on the market are not really backed up in terms of research to show how much of any chemicals are in them,” Menke said.

“They don’t tell the effects of them, they may be real, but they don’t have to actually fall under FDA rules.”

Essential oils go beyond what chemistry dictates.

There are a lot of aromatherapists who help people understand essential oils and how they can utilize them for what they need.

“Well, there’s many ways to use essential oils,” said aromatherapist for the Golden Poppy Herbal Apothecary, Leesa Balik. “I think the main reason

Hsu said.

For resident Jordana Barrack, the Masterworks concert was her first time seeing the Fort Collins Symphony. After waiting months, she was finally able to see her friends, Forest Greenough and Bennett Stucky perform bass and violin respectively.

“It was a really interesting experience,” Barrack said. “The music puts you in this trance, this state, where your mind begins to wander a little bit. You wander between listening to the specific notes that are happening to your to-do list or your thoughts for the day.”

More information about the Fort Collins Symphony and their events can be found on their concert page.

possibly sleep. A lot of people do use them for the immune system, as well as to keep their body systems healthy during the cold season that we’re going through right now.”

There is the emotional pull of smells too.

“When we smell things they make us feel a certain way, too. You know, even things that might remind us of our childhood, good or bad. We have that cellular memory of smells,” Balik said.

Essential oils can be helpful in a lot of different ways not only chemically and biologically speaking, but also in an aromatherapeutic way as well.
