ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR

Free Palestine protest in Denver demands ceasefire

“The reason for the phrase ‘from the river to the sea’ is because for the past 75 years, there has been forced displacement, home demolitions, murder, apartheid and just absolute genocide by the Israeli regime, and we want to be free from that. Our freedom does not mean another people’s dispossession.”

ABDULLAH ELAGHA COLORADO PALESTINE COALITION ORGANIZER

By Ivy Secrest @ivysecrest

Shut it Down for Palestine protests called for international action Nov. 9, and protesters gathered outside of the Capitol building in Denver in support of Palestinians in Gaza.

Speakers at the protest echoed demands for action from state representatives. Namely, they called for a ceasefire and a stop to all Colorado-sourced military aid to Israel.

“It is fairly clear what Israel wants to do,” speaker Nadeen Ibrahim said. “They want to annex Gaza into Israel. They’re doing it through ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people who, by the way, are not monolith. Those are our Muslim and Christian sisters and brothers in Gaza.”

The crowd condemned politicians by name, including President Joe Biden, Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO), Rep. Jason Crow and Gov. Jared Polis.

“They’re using that very simple excuse of self-defense that these people in this building (the Denver Capitol) continue to support and stand by,” Ibrahim said. “As Coloradans, we say no to apartheid. As Coloradans, we demand a ceasefire now.”

A large portion of the crowd was made up of students. The Denver chapter of Students for a Democratic Society led a group from the Auraria Campus to the Capitol, and Denver public school students joined the masses as well. Students voiced concern about the treatment of the Palestinian people and their tax dollars being spent on military aid to Israel while the city of Denver faces so many housing and education issues.

According to the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, Colorado contributes over $76 million to military aid for Israel.

“We refuse to let our tax dollars be used to finance the death

and suffering of the Palestinian people,” said Alex Borenstein, organizer with the Jewish Voice for Peace.

The group was unable to go into the Capitol and remained outside for the duration of the protest. Organizers handed out pamphlets instructing people to text “GAZA” to 21000 and fill out the link they received. They also provided a script to be used when calling local representatives.

Protesters echoed chants like, “Free, free, free Palestine; long live Palestine,” “Biden, Biden, you can’t hide; we charge you with genocide,” and, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

“Back in the day, we couldn’t have imagined this, and now it’s so beautiful to see you all here,” Borenstein said. “This is a turning point for people seeking liberation globally. And I want you to recognize that you are part of that movement. And don’t let these people take that away from you. America’s public opinion is rapidly changing.”

These chants have been consistent in several protests supporting Palestine. While the politicians’ names may change, protesters have focused on several consistent key demands.

After the protest, the Party for Socialism and Liberation branch in Denver posted an Instagram reel stating their demands in the caption: for Polis, Hickenlooper, Sen. Michael Bennet, U.S. House representatives for Colorado and the Colorado General Assembly to endorse a ceasefire; “for Colorado to end all partnerships with the apartheid state of Israel”; for Colorado to reject the Global Conference for Israel Nov. 30 to Dec. 3 at the Colorado Convention Center; and for Polis to pull out as one of its speakers.

“The reason for the phrase ‘from the river to the sea’ is because for the past 75 years, there has been forced displacement, home demolitions, murder, apartheid and just absolute genocide by

the Israeli regime, and we want to be free from that,” Abdullah Elagha with the Colorado Palestine Coalition said. “Our freedom does not mean another people’s dispossession.”

What is happening to the people of Gaza is not just happening in Gaza, Ibrahim said. She told the crowd that there is “a collective punishment against all Palestinians” and that Palestinians on the West Bank had also seen colonization.

“All the Palestinians that are here in the crowd today, we feel that collective punishment too,” Ibrahim said. “Whether it be from our employers (or) whether it be from our educators that want to come tell us what it means to be Palestinian.”

Not all government officials remained in the Capitol building during the protest. Colorado state Rep. Säid Sharbini came out to support the crowd and his fellow Palestinians.

“One of the main reasons I’m here today is that these are my people,” Sharbini said. “I don’t stand here and say that what Hamas did was right because it wasn’t. What they did was indiscriminate killing, which is what we’re seeing now. And I’m here to just say we need to stop the violence, stop the killing and focus on actual practical ways to move forward. For me, the biggest message we should be sending here is the ceasefire.”

Sharbini also wanted to ensure that the students and organizers felt supported.

“As much as I can do is just be here and support people,” Sharbini said. “Support these kids that came out here, running this rally, making sure that they know that we’re here backing them up.”

While the protest was peaceful, one protester was detained after an incident between Palestinian protesters and a counterprotester in support of Israel.

ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR

Protesters gather over alleged Woodward weapons in Gaza

By Tyler Weatherwax @twwax7272

Protesters gathered outside of Woodward headquarters Friday afternoon to speak up about the controversy surrounding the company being involved with the manufacturing of missiles used in the Israel-Hamas war.

Woodward has been accused of manufacturing missiles used in the Israel-Hamas war after photos circulated online of Woodward’s brand being on an alleged missile that bombed Gaza.

Protesters gathered on South Lemay Avenue on the sidewalk, just outside of Woodward’s headquarters. Police and security personnel lined the fence. At one point, police did become involved with protesters, telling them to stay off private property and that they had to stay on public property.

Media spokesperson for the protesters Robyn Mourning explained the goals of the protesters and spoke about why the group was there.

“We are here primarily in solidarity with Palestinians located

in Palestine and exiled all around the world — to show solidarity and support,” Mourning said. “Saying no to the current genocide and apartheid that they’re experiencing and have been experiencing since the mid-1900s.”

Mourning directly quoted Woodward’s website: “Woodward produces CAS (Control Acuation Systems) systems for the world’s most advanced guided tactical weapons, including JDAM ( Joint Direct Attack Munition), SDB (Small Diameter Bomb) and the advanced AIM-9X Sidewinder.”

Woodward also engages in nextgeneration systems and flight testing guided artillery rounds, guided rockets and hypervelocity systems.

Woodward’s weapons production is just one of the reasons protesters gathered outside of their headquarters.

“We have reason to believe that they are connected to the current genocide happening in Gaza in Palestine, and we want to say, ‘No more,’” Mourning said.

A protester read a statement from Woodward at the protest: “A small portion of our business

involves indirectly supplying the U.S. government with subsystems that go into military equipment.

While we are not involved in policy decisions regarding the use of defense equipment containing our products, we remain committed to serving all of our customers.” The statement was met with a negative reaction from the crowd.

As the crowd grew, chants broke out on the sidewalk directly next to the busy street. Some protesters pressed the pedestrian walk button to stop traffic and get drivers to listen.

The crowd chanted phrases such as, “Woodward, Woodward you can’t hide; we charge you with genocide,” “Gaza, Gaza, don’t you cry; Palestine will never die,” and “Resistance is justified when people are occupied.”

Many protesters wore masks to protect their identity as cars passed on the busy street, some drivers honking in response.

Signs were held up and passed out by protesters, including images of war and missiles and strong written messages. Some

signs also depicted watermelons, a symbol of Palestinian resistance.

The protesters then began their die-in. Ten minutes were dedicated to this portion of protest, during which protesters lay down and remained silent, each minute representing 1,000 lives lost in Gaza.

Protesters lay down to symbolize those who have died during the bombings, acting as dead bodies in front of the company.

After 10 minutes, they rose to their feet again and continued their demonstrations. One anonymous protester gave a speech to the crowd.

“We can get up, but Gazans cannot,” the protester said.

The protester said the group was not with antisemitic goals or against Jewish people but rather in support of the Palestinians. The protester advocated for the liberation of all people. The protester also explained that they were there to protest Woodward and wanted to see the company immediately stop its investment, distribution and research of weapons.

ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR

CSU student protest calls for ceasefire in Gaza

By Allie Seibel and Hannah Parcells @csucollegian

Colorado State University students held a Free Palestine Protest on the Lory Student Center Plaza, speaking out against the war in Gaza, calling for a ceasefire and criticizing U.S. involvement in the conflict.

The demonstration, held Friday, Nov. 10, was the second Free Palestine Protest on campus since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel and came in response to Israel airstrikes on Gaza.

The American Civil Liberties Union released an open letter Nov. 1 urging university leaders across the country to protect students’ rights to free speech as tensions continue to rise on college campuses.

“I think it’s really interesting to see how the population here in Colorado, just CSU, really is concerned about an issue like Palestine and Israel,” student Vinny Purrier said. “I think it’s really impressive. I honestly am really surprised by it. I really did not expect someone to be so concerned about this issue, honestly, like, at all.

And it’s really kind of hopeful to see that much at the very least.”

Students and members of the community gathered on The Plaza,

holding signs and Palestinian flags and chanting, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” a popular slogan used to represent the free Palestine movement.

Some of the students demonstrating focused on the U.S. government’s involvement in the war, citing it as part of their motivation for protesting. “(I’m here) because I’m tired of seeing kids killed with my tax dollars,” said Em, a protester who only provided a first name. “It’s that simple. Like, I’m tired of it. There’s no reason, like, they haven’t done anything. They’ve been in a 75-year occupation, and they were just trying to, like, get their own human rights back, and there’s an overextension, and now we’re in the second Nakba, and it’s horrid, and I just want to do something to help people.”

Protesters said that one of the goals of the demonstration was to raise awareness and educate members of the campus community on what is taking place in Gaza.

“I feel like especially us being in America, not a lot of people are aware of the issues that go on, especially with minority people, and especially, like, at a (predominantly white institution), it’s really important to spread awareness about the injustices that are going on around the world and in America as well,” student Lanae Fox said.

Before the demonstration, students sold sugar cookies for donations to Palestine war efforts. Shiraz, a protest organizer who only provided a first name, said they decided to set up the table for donations to give people a chance to donate to the cause without the concern over scams or unreliable sources.

“I know a lot of (people) — today especially — that are coming to protest are willing to help and want to help but don’t know what would be a good resource,” Shiraz said. “So we wanted to provide that to people that are coming today.”

“We honestly want to reach anyone, especially the college students because we’re going to be in the next generation that’s leading everything,” Fox said. “And so if we can get the voice out and get a group of people that are ready to make a change and raise awareness, that’s what we’re really trying to do.”

Students of all different identities gathered on The Plaza to make hand-drawn signs for the protest, including a protester named Piper, who only provided a first name and who held a sign that read, “This Jew says ceasefire now.”

“What Israel is doing is by all logical definition a genocide — we’ve been seeing protests all across the world, and now there’s one where I live, and I was like, ‘Well, I’m not not going to go; I’m going to show my

support in any way I can,’ and, you know, it’s a worthy fight to have,” Piper said. “If there is a red line anywhere, it’s here.”

Students passed out flyers to students on The Plaza before the demonstration.

“I think people need to know that these people are dying,” said a student who wished to remain anonymous.

“It’s not a fair fight at all. It’s not one powerful military group against another powerful military group.

It’s one powerful military against civilians. … All of those children are going to have to face generational trauma. It’s not OK. And we have to put an end to the bombing. We have to call for a ceasefire right now.”

Two students holding Israel flags stood across from the Free Palestine Protest in a counterdemonstration, including student Bradley Berman. “(We’re out here to show) that there are Jews on campus,” Berman said.

The protest was peaceful, and attendees said they did not support violence against individuals and were calling for peace.

“I just wanted to say that being pro-Palestine isn’t antisemitic; it’s different things, and there’s Palestinian Jews, and I’m Palestinian myself,” Shiraz said. “I was born and raised there, and I left everything.”

YEAR OF DEMOCRACY

‘Disagree Better’ discusses political differences

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis answer a question from Colorado State University President Amy Parsons Nov. 15. CSU held a discussion between the two governors about how to have healthy disagreements in politics.

Colorado State University students, staff and alumni joined Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox in a discussion as part of the National Governors Association’s Disagree Better initiative. The event was hosted by CSU as part of the

university’s thematic year of democracy Nov. 15.

“This year we’re embarking on a special thematic year of democracy, bringing in democracy to all that we do in our classrooms — even in our art galleries, in our theater productions and all across campus — focused on voter registration and student participation,” CSU President Amy Parsons said.

As NGA Chair and Vice Chair, Cox and Polis are working to

teach youth how to foster healthy debate and freedom of expression, specifically in higher education.

“The problem is when people don’t feel like they can share their views (is) when we start self-censoring,” Cox said. “There’s some new data out that shows that there’s like 70% of students (who) are self-censoring right now on campus. They don’t feel comfortable expressing their views.”

The Disagree Better initiative aims to reduce the effects of political polarization occurring around the country, which can be catastrophic to democracy.

“I love our country; I care deeply about our country, and I think this is not just the issue of the year — I think it’s the issue of our generation,” Cox said. “It is the single most important issue in our country today.”

While wanting to tune out during difficult discussions can be a natural response, the governors touched on how not engaging can do more harm than good in political conversations.

“It’s not just the danger of the vitriolic rhetoric, it’s the danger that the rest of us tune out because it seems so unpleasant and so

derogatory,” Polis said. “And that’s, in many ways, the worst thing that could happen for civil society.”

In addition to tuning into conversations, it is also important to remain curious and keep an open mind when engaging in political discourse.

“I encourage people always to be curious,” Cox said. “If you can walk into a hostile situation and say to yourself, ‘OK, not the probability that I’m wrong but the possibility that I might be wrong.’”

However, speaking with an open mind does not mean someone must abandon their values to engage in difficult conversations.

“You do not have to give up on your principles at all, and you shouldn’t,” Cox said.

“Disagreeing better doesn’t mean don’t disagree; people have different values, different faiths (and) different political opinions,” Polis said. “That’s what makes our democracy in our country so wonderful.”

With that said, the governors also focused on the importance of keeping one’s political views from defining them.

“Do not define yourself,” Cox said.

“If that’s how you think of yourself first, as a conservative or progressive or liberal or whatever, then you’re doing something wrong, and it’s really unhealthy. Politics has become a religion for far too many people.”

Younger generations may be used to severe polarization in American politics, but this is not always how it has been.

“This is not normal — … you may think that this is what politics is; it is not,” Cox said. “Do not accept that this is the way it has to be. We can do better, and we need your help.”

At the end of the day, Americans share a common goal to flourish despite disagreements and political differences.

“But what’s also important is we’re all Americans, and we need to come together around rooting for the same side, and that’s (for) our country to succeed, not rooting for half of America to fail (but) rooting for all of us to succeed together,” Polis said.

LGBTQIA+ RESOURCES

Off-Campus Life, PRC host roommate matching event

Colorado State University students play a game of bingo with other students to find out if they have compatible interests Nov 7. The Pride Resource Center and Off-Campus Life hosted an event to help CSU students find safe roommates.

Two of CSU’s resource offices collaborated to create an event to help students who both are part of the LGBTQIA+ community and live off campus. Off-Campus Life and the Pride Resource Center collaborated to hold a roommate matching event Nov. 7 to give students an opportunity to meet potential roommates and learn what resources are available when living off campus.

PRC Program Coordinator Soleil Gonzalez discussed this event and similar ones last spring with Off-Campus Life.

They recognized the need for queer and transgender students to find safe roommates and wanted to create resources to aid in that process.

“There is a need for our LGBTQ students within housing (to find), like, friendly, queer-adjacent and/or queer roommates,” Gonzalez said.

“And so the hopes for this program is to kind of aid that process a little bit more in terms of finding a roommate.”

“Obviously, it’s not going to be, like, an end-all be-

all, ‘You’ll find your perfect roommate here,’ but it’s just more, like, connecting them to the resources that Off-Campus Life has and the Pride Center, along with providing them other resources that they can access,” Gonzalez said.

First-year CSU student Darens Bretous attended this event among others.

“I went to these meetings in particular because I want to room with others in the communities that I am a part of,” Bretous said. “I would definitely suggest going to one of these roommate matchup meets. The information provided at the meetings was very helpful, especially for a first-year student like myself who has never had to try and figure out how the roommate finding process even works.”

“The staff were super welcoming, and the only way I think it could improve is by having more people looking for roommates actually show up,” Bretous said.

Fifth-year student Sammy Trout is the OffCampus Life program assistant, RamRide community outreach coordinator and one of the

facilitators of the roommate matching event.

“I’m really excited that this is a service that OffCampus Life provides,” Trout said. “As a queer student, I was really lucky to find somebody else within the queer community that I was able to room with, but I know not everybody coming to CSU has that same opportunity.”

“I was really privileged to grow up in a community that was very welcoming for me,” Trout said. “Joining in fellow queer communities was really easy for me to get into, but for a lot of people, they’ve grown up in a way that was really hostile toward that.”

One of the main issues this event tries to solve is community support.

“How can we help you find a sense of family and community when you didn’t have that necessarily where you originally came from?”

Trout said.

CAMPUS CHRONICLE

Reflecting on LSC’s history as renovations conclude

PHOTO COURTESY OF CSU ARCHIVES

By Christian Arndt @csucollegian

The Lory Student Center is a go-to location for students all over Colorado State University.

Whether you’re looking to pick up some food in between classes, study for exams, find valuable resource centers or even just grab a beer at the Ramskeller Pub & Grub — the LSC has it all.

The LSC was not the first student center on campus; it was initially located in Johnson Hall in response to a fast-growing student body population to accommodate student needs.

Associate teaching professor Adam Thomas, whose concentration is architectural history, reflected on the history of the LSC and what the initial vision was after first constructing buildings outside of The Oval.

“From the very basic level that when they decided to reorient campus, they decide there’s going to be three buildings at the center of this campus,” Thomas said.

“The (Andrew G.) Clark Building because they need to bring in social sciences and the liberal arts to become a major university; the library, which makes sense — from the library flows all knowledge — and the then third one is the Lory Student Center. ... So they are purposely choosing to put students right in the center of the campus.”

When reflecting on former university President William E. Morgan’s vision for the CSU campus, Thomas described the overall goal for how to orient the buildings, and he discussed

the concept of students being “the body.”

“He frequently referred to students as living cells,” Thomas said. “He always referred to students as the body. ... The library is the brain; the Clark building is the soul, but the heart of it is the Lory Student Center.”

Although the LSC initially maintained some of its services to meet the needs of students, some areas of the LSC have been lost to time.

Linda Meyer, an archivist for the Agricultural and Natural Resources Archive, remembered some of the LSC’s areas that are no longer present: for example, an ice rink located just outside the LSC. “Another thing that I missed that the student center used to have was the bowling alley, which used to be downstairs,” Meyer said. “I also remember when my kids were young, bringing them to the bowling alley, and it was a very family-friendly bowling alley as well as being put in much use by the students.”

However, due to unforeseen natural events, the bowling alley and the basement of the LSC as a whole were washed away. “(The 1997 flood) washed out the bowling pins, the books and everything,” Meyer said. “There was, like, a river flowing through the downstairs part of the student center.”

Mike Ellis, associate vice president and executive director of the LSC, detailed the lengths they went in order to provide a new, renovated area for every student to come to have their needs met.

“We renovated the entire student center,” Ellis said. “The primary goal of that renovation was to relocate the Student Diversity Programs and Services office in the heart and soul of the student center and the center of campus.”

This was done to establish a strong sense of community and emphasize what CSU stands for.

“It’s a place where people can come together and discuss dialogue and meet needs of what it takes to form a strong sense of community here at CSU,” Ellis said.

A 20-year master plan was crafted back in 2004 with the purpose of installing a transit center in collaboration with the City of Fort Collins, a complete redesign of both stories of the bookstore and another expansion to the Adult Learner and Veteran Services, just to name a few major renovations. Ellis said they are excited to have completed the 20year master plan a year early.

With the numerous renovations that were set in motion, Ellis takes great pride in how the LSC benefits students and meets their needs.

“We have an incredible student center that serves our campus community, … and we want to continue to be better, do better for what our campus community needs,” Ellis said.

“That’s a part of what this project has done was listening to student needs, then creating an environment that responds to those community needs.”

Water in the West explores how to engage Gen Z, Gen Alpha

By Ivy Secrest @ivysecrest

Water is an inextricable part of Western life. As such, it has caused over a hundred years of conflict, which stakeholders are collaborating to resolve.

The sixth annual Colorado State University Spur Water in the West Symposium looked ahead to the next generation in the water industry, consulting agriculture, the outdoor industry, the future of education and the workforce and Indigenous groups.

“You can’t really separate our Western identity from water,” Gov. Jared Polis said.

“We know that a lot State Gov.

Prior to becoming the assistant vice president for Indigenous and Native American affairs at CSU, Patrese Atine worked in Washington D.C. for 12 and a half years, serving a variety of roles centered around tribal policy, advocacy and higher education, Atine told the crowd.

“In each of these roles, I watched as tribal leaders traveled to our nation’s capital to meet with federal officials to advocate for the needs of their individual communities,” Atine said. “At the top of the

list for many was access to clean and reliable water.”

Being of the Navajo Nation and experiencing the issues with water that Indigenous communities face in the U.S. firsthand, Antine highlighted how important Indigenous voices are in this conversation.

In the Navajo Nation, 30% of households lack running water.

As of October, 39 Indian water rights settlements have been federally approved.

“I share this information to remind us that tribes have not always been involved or at the table,” Atine said.

“In fact, tribes were excluded from the ... Colorado River Compact in 1922.

And two years after that in 1924, tribal members received citizenship in this country. This is just in our last 100 years of history.”

As speakers progressed — whether in regard to the outdoors industry, agriculture or Indigenous voices — the need to connect with Gen Z and Gen Alpha was very clear.

“Colorado State is preparing our future community leaders,” Atine said. “They’re engaged in innovative research and engaged in stewardship and (moving) toward a costewardship model with tribes.

With these values, knowledge and skills, our CSU graduates will ensure all stakeholders, including tribes, are at the table as we move forward in our country.”

Sleep deprivation thwarts student health, success

By Kira Shyrock @csucollegian

The college student’s all-nighter could almost be considered a rite of passage with how commonly and almost fondly it’s discussed.

With finals right around the corner, students might struggle to effectively balance schoolwork with their daily activities. This is certainly not the ideal lifestyle to lead for young adults.

“Sleep affects the brain to consolidate learning and memory, which means you will not be able to recall what you studied well, or what you studied will be all out of order and hard to remember,” said Colorado State University Ph.D. student Rahmi Lee, who studies REM sleep. This means those 11 p.m. nights at Morgan Library may do students more harm than good.

“Sleep deprivation affects mood in a negative way,” Lee said, explaining that not getting proper sleep can affect emotional well-being as well as one’s cognition.

“If I don’t sleep enough, I notice I’m very sad and unmotivated in the mornings,” said Regan Roach, a current CSU graduate research associate student. “I think academic stress contributes the most to the problems I have maintaining a healthy sleep schedule.”

While Roach does try to follow a nightly routine of setting up an

alert on her phone as a reminder of her bedtime, it can still be a struggle for her to fall asleep due to racing thoughts about her current studies and tasks.

“Nearly three-fourths of college students report getting less than eight hours of sleep each night,” said Ph.D. candidate of CSU’s Sleep and Metabolism Laboratory Sophie Seward, referencing a study examining the sleep habits of college students.

The study Seward referenced found that 20% of college students reported pulling an all-nighter at least once in the month preceding the survey.

“I think we praise sleep deprivation in college and especially in grad school,” Roach said. “There’s this idea that if you didn’t sleep at all or pulled an all-nighter doing work or studying that you’re somehow better than your peers, which is an incredibly unhealthy mindset.”

What can be done about this?

“Sleep deprivation really impacts all aspects of lifestyle choices,” said Kristen Cardona, a nurse practitioner with Unity Sleep Disorders Center of Rochester, further bringing up the connections between sleep and hormone regulation, mood stability, metabolic processes and cognition.

“Try to keep a regular sleep schedule, similar bedtime, similar wake time,” Cardona said.

Cardona also mentioned other helpful tips for sleep, such as using

ear plugs or white noise, avoiding electronics before bed and no caffeine seven to eight hours before sleep and getting seven to nine hours of sleep every night for proper cognitive function.

There is little recent discussion or study on student health pertaining to sleep, nor are there many free resources available to students on CSU’s campus.

“I think we need to give students reminders throughout the academic year, maybe via email, about how important sleep is for both your well-being and performance,” Roach said.

Cardona said college campuses could consider distributing campaign flyers about sleep, creating fun events that provide information on sleep and handing out eye masks, pillows or earplugs to promote good sleeping habits.

Students, staff and faculty can find more information on sleep and how to combat the negative effects of sleep deprivation on the CSU Health Network page, which provides a free assessment to determine sleeping habits as well as general information on types of sleep, signs of sleep deprivation and tips for better sleep. They also provide additional links to websites that supply information on sleep, how it pertains to health and other useful tips to get a better night’s rest.

THANKSGIVING MYTH

@hanasolo13

With the holidays just around the corner, many students are preparing for Thanksgiving feasts — or at least better food than what they can get at the dining hall.

With people looking forward to slices of pie, mountains of mashed potatoes and fresh bread rolls, it’s time to confront a common myth everyone talks about when these types of holidays roll around: Does turkey make us sleepy?

Sluggishness and lethargy after eating a big, traditional meal like Thanksgiving dinner are usually blamed on the turkey — or more specifically, tryptophan. Tryptophan is one of the 20 amino acids that comprise most living organisms. These amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which perform vital functions in human body, from storing nutrients to acting as internal messengers in the form of hormones.

Proteins are essential to everything in the body, from chemical reactions to signaling pathways, said Megan Moran, an undergraduate of biomedical sciences in the department of microbiology, immunology and pathology.

Humans can only produce 11 amino acids, which are often referred to as nonessential amino acids. So in order to avoid deficiency, we have to replenish the other nine essential amino acids, including tryptophan, with the food we eat. Foods with high levels of tryptophan include milk, peanuts, cheese and, of course, turkey. Raw white turkey meat contains over 400 milligrams of tryptophan per pound, within the recommended daily allowance.

However, sources like milk contain over 700 milligrams of tryptophan per quart — much more than turkey.

Tryptophan is essential for many metabolic functions in the human body. It greatly helps regulate our mood, cognitive functions and behavior, and tryptophan supplements are used to help with sleep issues, depression and premenstrual syndrome, though the scientific backing for these benefits is lacking.

Tryptophan is an essential building block in the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is widely considered a mood stabilizer. As the amount of serotonin in your bloodstream increases, the antidepressant effects of tryptophan will increase.

Tryptophan is also a key component in producing melatonin — a hormone linked with sleep cycles — which leads to the common belief that the tryptophan in turkey makes us sleepy.

While some evidence demonstrates a connection between tryptophan in turkey and drowsiness, it is more likely that consuming tryptophan while also overloading with carbohydrates, which are present in many holiday food staples, causes drowsiness after a big holiday dinner. Tryptophan in turkey is just one of the many factors that can make people sleepy. Other factors include poor circulation after a heavy meal and the winter season’s natural ability to induce sleepiness as it gets darker earlier.

It is important that essential amino acids are included in our diets in order to stay healthy and produce the proteins our bodies need to function. Turkey might not be the only thing that makes us sleepy after a big holiday meal, but it is a good way to get your daily dose of tryptophan.

COURT LEGEND

Kennedy Stanford etches her name into record books

By Will Engle @willengle44

What separates a star from a legend?

Stars have outstanding talent, work hard on their game and help lift their team up to new heights.

Legends have all that and one other key trait: an overwhelming dedication that manifests over time.

Kennedy Stanford has just cemented herself as a legend. In a season that saw her play her 100th career match, she spiked down her 1,000th career kill, becoming the fifth Colorado State player in the modern scoring era to record 1,000 career kills. Every single kill over the past four years has come at the green and gold.

Fellow teammate Naeemah Weathers didn’t mince her words when describing the pride she felt on Stanford’s behalf. “(Getting 1,000 kills) is an absolutely insane milestone,” Weathers said. “I think it’s something that a lot of people who aren’t necessarily in the volleyball

world maybe don’t understand the gravity of. That is a huge milestone, and playing in 100 career matches is also huge. So seeing her do that in her time here has been super special, and I’m glad that I was able to witness it because she deserves it.”

Weathers is just one of the teammates who has benefited from Stanford’s presence on the court. In her four seasons as a Ram, Stanford’s .201 hitting percentage, 2.84 kills per set, 634 digs and 153 total blocks have all helped lead the Rams to a 63-39 record during Stanford’s time on the squad.

After being asked about how she felt reaching the milestone, Stanford took a moment to reflect on her season as a whole. She said she appreciates the accolade, but there are many more aspects of her game she takes pride in.

“I think we’ve had a lot more balance this year,” Stanford said.

“That’s kind of changed the way that I view the game and has given me an opportunity to work on a lot of other parts of my game besides just attacking. Getting the 1,000th kill (and) the 100th game, that was very

exciting, but I’m also most proud of how I’ve played the other side of the game this season as far as my defense and my passing and all that.”

That kind of mentality not only propels athletes forward and allows them to constantly improve but also earns them something deeply valuable: the unending trust of their coach.

The star outside hitter has played in every match since the beginning of the 2021 season, and coach Emily Kohan praised Stanford for being a player she can count on day in and day out.

“There’s nothing that replaces the maturity that comes with the experience of playing matches, and she’s played 100 matches obviously, so there’s a lot of data points there of knowing what it feels like and how to compose yourself in those tight situations,” Kohan said. “So the trust of having an upperclassman who’s been in a lot of those situations and performed well in them is pretty irreplaceable.”

Stanford’s now 101 matches played cement her as one of CSU’s most seasoned players, second only

to Karina Leber, who has played 102 matches for the green and gold.

She has played under two separate coaches, the first being coach Tom Hilbert, who led the team until 2022, and now under Kohan.

“It’s been kind of cool to see the growth every year,” Stanford said.

“I think both Tom and Emily have played a big role in that. They’ve done a great job of helping me grow different parts of my game and ... growing leaps and bounds kind of on different sides of the ball. That’s something that I really appreciate about my time here at CSU.” Learning to play under two separate coaches can certainly be a challenge for many players, and learning new systems and new dynamics can be a difficult adjustment for a team to go through.

Weathers, however, said Stanford’s veteran mentality is something the whole team is able to depend on to get them through complicated situations. “(Stanford) is honestly kind of like my blanket, and I feel that the whole team can say something similar,” Weathers said. “When

she’s on the court, we know that she’s going to get her job done.

Her being out there for so long and having all that experience is something that all of us can learn from, and we sort of look to her in those times when we’re like, ‘OK, we need some leadership, and we need someone who’s a little bit older and a little bit more experienced to sort of lead us to the finish line.’”

Stanford’s four years of consistent dedication to the Rams’ program has earned her the trust of coaches, teammates and fans, which has now cemented her name as a legend in CSU history.

Legend status in the record books isn’t stopping Stanford just yet, though.

“I’m coming back for next year,” Stanford said. “I have one more semester of eligibility, and then I will probably go play (professional volleyball). That’s kind of the goal, and (I’m) interested to kind of test the waters with that.”

WELL-ROUNDED

Justin Marshall: A complete football player in the making

By Damon Cook @dwcook2001

A half-century record is gone, all by the flash of Justin Marshall.

Ron Harris’ name was inked in the record book for 49 years, but finally, by the legs of Marshall, Harris’ mark of rushing for more than 100 yards in a debut fell Saturday night against San Diego State.

If Marshall’s name was a surprise to see Saturday, that’s because he wasn’t supposed to see the field this year.

With the unfortunate type of injury luck the Rams have had this year, they just have to be prepared, and clearly, Marshall was.

“Coach had me ready,” Marshall said. “(Getting) mental reps at practice, (coach getting) me into rotation at practice (and making) sure I’m ready to go in at anytime.”

The speed at which things intensify between high school and college is tenfold. That’s why first-years like Marshall have to come in and work that much harder.

Marshall gave running back coach Jeremy Moses a lot of credit for his historic performance. Moses has helped Marshall prepare in unique ways. “(Moses) gave me some flashcards,” Marshall said. “I wrote the plays down so I could memorize them.”

Thanks to those flashcards — and of course the preparation and talent of Moses and Marshall — Ram fans weren’t the only ones taking notice.

Coach Jay Norvell knows the Rams need a solid running game if they’re to appear in a coveted 13th game. Thankfully for him, it appears that he’s found exactly what he has been looking for, and Marshall has more than earned his way into the game plan going forward.

“He had over 100 yards rushing and really important runs for us, and I think you’ll see a lot of Justin this week,” Norvell said.

While Marshall deserves a lot of the credit, so does the Rams O-line. Of the five players who

started the season, all five remain — something that is incredibly hard to do. It’s that continuity that helped jump-start the Rams’ run game Saturday.

“Great to see them block it up,” Marshall said. “And then you’ve got to hit the hole and make people miss.”

The ability to make people miss is what made Marshall a must-have for Moses and the staff.

The twitch, the agility and the versatility were what Moses saw, and one game into it, he’s glad he bought into the Marshall stock.

“One of the key things that we look for in recruiting is a back that is versatile.”

JEREMY MOSES CSU FOOTBALL RUNNING BACK COACH

“Recruiting-wise, we saw the versatility, we saw the bust and the twitchiness in space,” Moses said. “But we saw him be able to run through tough contact in order to create that space for himself, which are usually signs of a great tailback.”

The three-star recruit hailing out of Merrillville, Indiana, received a lot of attention during his senior year and had several Division I offers, including Indiana, Nebraska and Purdue.

Despite plenty of options, Marshall knew CSU was absolutely the right school for him.

“I just wanted to get away from home, and they love me here,” Marshall said.

Well, it’s no doubt that his teammates and coaches are happy to have him here.

COLLEGIAN PHOTO ILLUSTRATION

It’s not every day that a team gets to play with someone who puts in the work both on and off the field like Marshall has.

Academics have been a key aspect of CSU Athletics, and Marshall enjoys that he can take advantage of the support provided because of that.

“Support is great around here,” Marshall said. “(They) make sure I’m on top of my work and get my work done.”

Being in his first season, Marshall will have plenty of time to develop into the star he appears poised to become — and not just as a running back but a complete football player.

“One of the key things that we look for in recruiting is a back that is versatile,” Moses said. “Yeah, they can carry the football, but what else can they do? Can they play special teams? Can they come down and hit you? Can they pick up blitzes? And he showed a lot of versatility on film, lining up at slot receiver, catching a stick route, making a guy miss and going 50 yards with it. … So those things flashed a lot on film, and then seeing him live in games knowing that he’s not just a tailback, he’s a complete football player.”

FRESH MOVES

Women’s basketball transfer Sanna Ström finds home in FoCo

Colorado State University first-year student Taylor Ray, graduate student Sydney Mech, transfer-junior Sanna Ström and first-year Jadyn Fife celebrate with the team after defeating the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs with a final score of 87-50 Nov. 2.

By Emma Askren @emma_askren

Taking Moby Arena by storm, transfer Sanna Ström is creating quite the presence on the court.

During her time at Kansas, Ström proved her ability as an endurance player, being one of only three Kansas players to appear in all 36 games.

Ström’s highest number of points scored in a game was 13 against Southeast Missouri State.

“I learned a lot at Kansas,” Ström said. “I gained a lot of experience just (being) in college and being in game situations, and I think I bring a lot in that sense.”

In only two games, Ström has played an instrumental role in the Rams’ success. The style of play that comes from overseas has translated well to CSU basketball.

“As an international player, we play with a lot of speed in Europe,” Ström said. “We play a lot like that here, and that was definitely what I was looking for.”

It wasn’t just the style of play that enticed Ström to play here at CSU. The competitiveness and determination of the squad were things she said were missing at Kansas and things she realized CSU had.

Being undefeated on the season so far, the Rams

have proved their ability to be a competitive team.

“I was looking for a very competitive team,” Ström said. “We want to go get that ring, and I think (CSU) was the place for that.”

Although Ström has been in the U.S. for about two years now, she said she still misses home. Kansas had decent basketball but didn’t have the same feel of home that Fort Collins does.

“I really like Fort Collins,” Ström said. “I love the mountains, and I love the winter. It’s coming, and I’m a winter girl, so I’m really excited.”

That excitement is palpable with the rest of the team; Ström’s teammates only have positive things to say about her.

“She’s been doing great,” graduate student Cailyn Crocker said. “She’s a great person on and off the court and just a really hard worker.”

So far, Ström has been making moves on the team.

The junior is already ranked No. 3 on the team for points scored at 18. Ström is second on the team for 3-point percentage at .625, just under Sydney Mech, who has made both of her shots outside the paint.

The Rams have a lot to look forward to this season, with transfer Jackie Carman having gotten her first points against Alabama A&M and several fifth-year

seniors looking to end their season with a bang.

“Having new people on the team, especially them being older, it brings a lot of maturity to our team, and they’re great people to be around,” fifth-year student Meghan Boyd said.

Ström isn’t just a force on the American basketball court; she’s also making waves overseas. In summer 2022, Ström played for the Sweden U20 team at the FIBA U20 Women’s European Championship.

At the FIBA European championships, Ström started Sweden’s six final games and scored in the double figures twice, first against Belgium and second against Lithuania. Ström’s oversea experience brings a lot to the table for the Rams and will be incredibly helpful for a roster already infused with international talent.

“We’ve been playing with Europeans for a long time,” senior Cali Clark said. “I’m kind of used to it, and when we went to Spain, we got to see (the faster playing style) and how they play in their home environment.”

With confidence from her time at Kansas, her teammates’ positive attitudes and extensive international experience, Ström has been and will continue to be a strong addition to the Rams’ roster.

2. Protesters in support of Palestine gather outside the Colorado Capitol building in Denver during the Shut it Down for Palestine protest Nov. 9. Protesters called for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.

2. An unnamed student protester holds a sign and distributes flyers before the Free Palestine Protest outside the Lory Student Center Nov. 10. “We are out here today because the bombing in Gaza has gone too far,” they said. “You can’t even call it self-defense anymore.

“They murder people. They kill men, women and children.”

COLLEGIAN COLUMNIST

Not including students in ‘real’ world is destroying self-efficacy

By Emma Souza @_emmasouza

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.

Spending four years in a box with minimal windows, fluorescent lighting and the inescapable smell of milk — aka the Andrew G. Clark Building — takes enough sheer power to warrant my diploma alone. Evidently, college consists of a lot more work than just going to class, and the best case result of my degree would be a prepared send-off into the world — forgive me, the “real” world.

I felt prepared for college after high school.

As a first-year at Colorado State University, I estimate I’ll feel prepared for my career by graduation. Being prepared for work is not synonymous with understanding the world, but most adults would seem to disagree.

Every time I mention this preparedness or any time I mentioned it last summer, I am continually met with the same comment in slightly different reiterations: “Just you wait.”

The comments are never from peers, never from siblings and never from fellow college students. They are always from adults.

The American public school system and the College Board are far from perfect. I’ve sat through plenty of science classes, watched that same Amoeba Sisters video for the 25th time and thought to myself, “This is pointless.” Of course, small moments such as those comprise only a fraction of our education.

School is a necessary step in not only political and cultural socialization but also in our personal development. We learn the

COLLEGIAN FILE ILLUSTRATION

repercussions of procrastination, hastiness and insubordination — lessons that critically and permanently shape our work ethics. We learn how to make friends and how to lose them, how to handle adversity and how to overcome it. School teaches skills that are fundamental to life inside and outside of the office.

Despite the value of K-12 schooling and higher education, America’s students still face insurmountable dogma from adults and collective society; even after graduation and onward, students are not prepared enough to initially survive the “real” world.

Young adults know the world and its stereotypes far too well: Those under the age of 25 have the lowest voter turnout.

About one in three adults ages 18-25 has experienced mental, behavioral or emotional health issues in the last year, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and suicide is the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-34.

Statistics such as these prove that the weight of not being enough — whether it be socially, politically, academically or familyrelated — often has detrimental effects.

Beneath all of them remains a common factor: diminished self-efficacy.

The belief in one’s capacity to create an impact or achieve a goal, self-efficacy is fundamentally intertwined with self-image and productivity. If someone believes they are capable of making a difference, their selfimage will be stronger, and therefore, there is an increased likelihood of taking action.

That being said, self-efficacy is able to change. If everyone except an individual believes they cannot make the slightest degree of change, they might feel so naive, isolated and futile that they hesitate to make

any attempts to better the world around them. Their self-efficacy might’ve been high initially, but with the impact of adults telling them otherwise, they are back to not feeling good enough.

If adults keep telling students — college and K-12 alike — they are not prepared, there will be long-term, destructive effects on their self-efficacy. We will watch them drown in the weight of not feeling prepared only because everybody convinced them that they didn’t know how to swim.

As a byproduct of a middle- to upperclass and well-funded school system that had the resources to provide students with more than enough support, I would like to think that I have seen the “real” world. But I know for certain that there are other students who have dealt with far more hardship than I have within and beyond the classroom. If anything, those students have experienced more of the “real” world than many adults have. Telling them they are unprepared for life and its challenges is simply a lie.

It is time we give students positive affirmations as they further their education instead of doubt. Although age brings increased maturity and experience, we cannot simultaneously preach that growth requires time and then stomp on freshly planted seeds.

The truth is that students have been living in the “real” world this whole time, and our collective skepticism toward America’s youth says a hell of a lot more about us than it does them.

The end of the semester is fast approaching, and that can only mean one thing: Finals week is just around the corner. While academic excellence is obviously a top priority for students and professors alike, it’s important that professors acknowledge their students have a multitude of responsibilities beyond the classroom.

In the middle of the endof-semester rush, it’s easy to overlook the fact that many students are contending with more than just their studies.

Beyond academic responsibilities, a significant number of people are juggling part-time jobs, familial obligations and a myriad of personal challenges that demand

their attention and effort, transforming finals week into a complicated balancing act.

The end of the semester can be an overwhelming time for students as an entire semester of work culminates in one week of highly important essays, projects and exams.

Oftentimes, a final exam determines the student’s final grade in that class.

That pressure, combined with the intense workload at the end of the semester, can lead to several mental health complications for students.

Sleep deprivation, isolation and elevated levels of stress are all experienced by college students during finals week and often impact performance as students work tirelessly to handle their evergrowing pile of responsibilities.

In this intricate balance between academic performance and realworld responsibilities, professors hold the key to alleviating some of the burdens their students face.

A more flexible approach to finals not only accommodates the diverse circumstances of students but also

GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION BY TRIN BONNER THE COLLEGIAN

recognizes the multifaceted nature of their lives.

This flexibility is not a concession of academic standards but rather an acknowledgment of the broader challenges students face.

Open communication is important.

Professors should actively encourage students to voice their challenges, recognizing that exams are just one part of their lives. An open dialogue often brings understanding, allowing educators to tailor their approach and provide meaningful support to their students. We need to acknowledge that students are not just faces in a lecture hall but individuals with lives full of commitments.

Beyond a willingness to communicate, professors should also take steps to actively incorporate mental health resources into their classes if they have not already.

Whether through reminders of available counseling services or the integration of stress-relief strategies into the last few classes of the semester, these measures enhance

the educational experience and work to alleviate some of the mental health burdens students face.

None of this is to say that academic excellence should take a backseat. Of course professors should strive to make sure that students understand the material and are meeting academic standards.

Recognizing and accommodating the real-world responsibilities students bear not only enhances the educational experience but can also contribute positively to overall academic performance.

Compassion and communication can go a long way when it comes to supporting students in their studies.

Beyond the exam papers and deadlines, remember that students are navigating a complex puzzle of responsibilities. Acknowledging this reality and supporting students as the semester draws to a close serves students and professors in their shared goal of pursuing academic success.

SEXUAL HEALTH

Correct condom use is important

GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION BY RASHIDA OBIKA THE COLLEGIAN

By Hana Pavelko @hanasolo13

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.

There are a variety of different contraceptives.

Whether barrier methods, hormonal methods or even sterilization, they can all be used to reduce the chance of getting pregnant.

One of the most common is a condom, a sheath designed to keep bodily fluids from coming into contact during sexual interactions. A male condom, or an external condom, is the one most people are probably familiar with. This type of condom goes over the penis. However, there is another type of condom designed for female bodies called an internal condom, which goes inside the vaginal canal before sex. These types of condoms are less commonly known than external condoms.

While condoms might not be everyone’s preferred method of birth control, it is important that everyone who engages in sex with a penis knows how to put one on. Condoms are an extremely effective way to stay safe during sex for a few reasons.

External condoms are 98% effective at stopping pregnancy if used perfectly. However, taking into account that most people are not using condoms as effectively as they do in clinical trials, its realistic efficacy is reduced to about 87%.

Sophie Orsund, a member of the Colorado State University organization Creating Respect, Educating Wellness by and for Students, provided some tips on how to make sure you are using an external condom to its full potential. “(The) first thing we like to recommend is that people check that their condom is not expired,” Orsund said.

Condoms have expiration dates like many other products.

All condoms should have an expiration date

located somewhere on the package. If a condom has expired, it is more likely to break during use. After ensuring your condom is not expired, simply tear the condom package open from the perforation point to remove the condom. Do not use scissors or your teeth to open the package, which risks breaking the condom inside.

“There’s no sexy way to open a condom,” Orsund said.

To further ensure that you are using a condom as effectively as possible, make sure the condom is put on before the penis goes anywhere near the vulva, as pre-ejaculate can still contain sperm.

You should also use a new condom for every erection. If you are uncertain of how exactly to put on a condom, websites like bedsider. org contain step-by-step directions to ensure you are putting a condom on in the most effective and safe way.

In addition to preventing pregnancy, condoms are also a great way to protect against sexually transmitted diseases. By creating

a barrier between the genitals and preventing the transfer of fluids, condoms can help prevent transmitting STDs including HIV. While not 100% effective, it can significantly help reduce the risk.

A prescription is not required to buy condoms, and they are found in a variety of stores. At pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens, one pack of 12 condoms costs around $7; however, many family planning clinics offer free or reduced-cost condoms.

However, at CSU, you can find condoms for free at numerous places.

At the CSU Health Network, you can get free sexual health supplies, including a variety of condoms, dental dams and lube.

Student groups and resident assistants at CSU can even put in requests for sexual health supply deliveries from CREWS. Reach Hana Pavelko at letters@collegian.com.

Intro to lo-fi rock: 5 bands to start with

By Christian Arndt @csucollegian

The lo-fi genre as a whole is a fantastic breeding ground for artists who want to refine their sound and presentation through experimental approaches and vulnerable recording styles.

Typically, the lo-fi genre exhibits elements of crude recording quality and more experimental approaches to traditional songwriting. However, these elements combined are what make lo-fi rock so special; it provides a unique and powerful listening experience to each person listening.

If you are looking for a more experimental approach to traditional rock music, look no further. Here are five bands that utilize the lo-fi sound to their full potential.

1. Duster

Duster is undoubtedly one of the most important bands to harness the lo-fi rock sound. Their entire discography has elements of lo-fi rock, but their album “Stratosphere” is an absolute must-listen for music fans in general.

The “Stratosphere” album also incorporates elements of slowcore, which blends perfectly with the lo-fi sound for a somber and slower listening experience. It’s hard to describe Duster’s sound

COLLEGIAN FILE ILLUSTRATION

without actually listening to their music, so get yourself a pair of headphones or good speakers, and embrace the experience.

Recommended tracks: “Heading for the Door,” “Inside Out,” “Stratosphere,” “Shadows of Planes,” “Echo, Bravo,” “Me and the Birds.”

2. The Microphones

The Microphones was created by an artist named Phil Elverum in Olympia, Washington. The range this band covers is immense, yet it masterfully crafts each track with the utmost consistency.

For example, each song spans a wide range of genres. The song “The Moon” starts off slow and somber but eventually picks up into a breakneck speed, diving into a more lo-fi noise rock sound.

The songwriting and lyrics are also just as impressive as their sound.

Elverum’s lyrics span plenty of feelings like isolation, longing and harping on sweet, but lost to time, memories. The Microphones are a must if you’re looking for more experimental lo-fi song structure.

Recommended tracks: “The Moon,” “Headless Horseman,” “I Want to Be Cold,” “‘The Glow, Pt. 2,’” “Sleepy Hollow.”

3. Sebadoh

Sebadoh is a real treat. Their grungy and in-your-face production

style is not only impressive but serves as an incredibly addictive listening experience. Sebadoh is one of many bands that truly pioneered the lo-fi rock experience, which blew its way into the mainstream and the ears of thousands of listeners. Lead singer Lou Barlow performs excellent lyrics that are catchy and powerful.

When paired with the muddy yet bright-sounding instrumentation, Sebadoh is an excellent, fun and worthwhile band to listen to.

Recommended tracks: “Spoiled,” “Flame,” “Dreams,” “Not Too Amused,” “Magnet’s Coil.”

4. Car Seat Headrest

You may already be familiar with Car Seat Headrest, and maybe you have even heard a song or two of theirs. However, what you may not know is that Car Seat Headrest was started by Will Toledo during his college years when he would often record the vocals for his songs in the backseat of his car. If that does not scream “lo-fi,” nothing else does.

Car Seat Headrest is definitely more based in indie rock with its lyrics and delivery; however, the charm of lo-fi bleeds through each track. If you want to listen to charming tracks that involve topics like introspection, confidence, love, denial and self-acceptance, Car Seat Headrest is a must-listen.

Recommended tracks: “Beach Life-In-Death,” “Bodys,” “Maud Gone,” “Plane Crash Blues (I Can’t Play the Piano),” “Nervous Young Inhumans,” “Sober to Death.”

5. Neutral Milk Hotel

Neutral Milk Hotel did not have a long tenure as a band, as they only released two studio albums.

However, even with only two albums, they left a lasting impact on the lo-fi genre as a whole.

Sonically, their sound is very recognizable, with Jeff Mangum providing his very distinct vocals along with his acoustic guitar playing. This blended with the rest of the band’s loud and very powerful background instrumentation makes for an incredible listening experience. The lyrics of each song are packed with body and provide a great storytelling experience.

Neutral Milk Hotel is not a band you should pass up. They are an absolute necessary listen for any music fan.

Recommended tracks: “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea,” “Holland, 1945,” “Communist Daughter,” “Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2,” “Ghost,” “Naomi.”

MUSIC REVIEW

The Beatles release their very last song

By Tyler Weatherwax @twwax7272

The last Beatles song. A powerful statement that brings mixed emotions: happy that we’re lucky enough to hear one more Beatles song yet sad that this is really the end. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have teamed up for the last time to create “Now and Then,” which features guitar and vocals from the the two late members of the band, George Harrison and John Lennon.

Many thought “Free as a Bird” in 1995 and “Real Love” in 1996 were the last Beatles songs we would ever hear.

For “Now and Then,” the band took some of Lennon’s demo tapes and transformed them into a complete Beatles song with all four members playing on it.

“Now and Then” was originally supposed to be a part of the 1995 docuseries “The Beatles Anthology,” but the band couldn’t use it due to its poor quality and technical issues. They tinkered with the tune, but ultimately, they planned to scrap it.

“On John’s demo tape, the piano was a little hard to hear, and in those days, of course, we didn’t have the technology,” McCartney said in a short film created for the new song.

During the band’s 2021 documentary series “Get Back,” which used footage and audio of the band recording their 1970 album “Let It Be,” technology was used to separate the band

GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION BY CHARLES COHEN THE COLLEGIAN

member’s voices and instruments. During that process, the pieces started to come together, and that technology allowed the Beatles to finish their last song.

“With the technology that Peter Jackson and his team had worked out during the ‘Get Back’ movie, he’d been able to separate off certain instruments and voices,” McCartney said.

McCartney, Starr and members of the Lennon and Harrison families sent the demo tape to Jackson’s team in hopes they could do something with it to make the last Beatles song a reality. Using the demo tape recorded by Lennon in the late ‘70s,

Jackson and his team were able to use advanced technology to separate Lennon’s vocals from the piano and use artificial intelligence to fill in the cracks.

The Beatles are well known for their use of strings, so they decided to add an orchestra to the new song to fill it all in.

McCartney also performed on a slide guitar to add a solo to the song — another thing the band is well known for.

McCartney called the solo a tribute to Harrison, as he mirrored his playing style.

Starr and McCartney also filled in on background vocals.

Finally, there it was: a complete and genuine Beatles song — the last the band will likely ever create. One of the world’s most famous and influential bands has sung its swan song, a bittersweet moment that draws the curtain on an era of legendary music. The band’s music will certainly live on, as they are still one of the most streamed music groups in the world over 60 years after their debut single.

The song itself has a very distinct Beatles sound and feel to it. A somber Lennon sings out a beautiful story of love and pain. McCartney fills in the song with his famous Hofner violin bass, adding soul, as Starr lays down his perfectly simple drumming one last time for The Beatles.

Using his work from the ‘90s on the song, Harrison plays a catchy guitar with a little bit of twang to it. The strings accompanying the song bring a dramatic effect, amplifying its impact.

Lennon sang the lyrics, “I want you to be there for me, always to return to me,” as well as, “And if I make it through, it’s all because of you,” over 40 years ago on a little demo tape he probably would have thrown into a junk drawer. Now his lyrics are topping the charts again 43 years after his death.

FILM REVIEW

‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ movie is a flat-out letdown

By Christian Arndt @csucollegian

A predominant name in horror game history, “Five Nights at Freddy’s” has broken the barrier of video games and has now made its way to the silver screen.

You will be surprised if you go into the film expecting a horror movie — because it’s not. It’s actually a comedy with how laughably terrible it is.

FNaF is a game, later turned into a nine-game franchise, created by Scott Cawthon. FNaF has received critical acclaim for each entry of the series. It has garnered thousands of players as well as YouTubers who film themselves playing along.

The movie features protagonist Mike Schmidt ( Josh Hutcherson), a man struggling to maintain a stable living while supporting his younger sister, Abby. After being fired from his job, Mike is offered a new position as a night security guard at an abandoned establishment, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria.

While adjusting to his new job, Mike slowly comes to realize the horrifying discovery that the animatronics in the building are actually possessed.

What follows is an almost twohour runtime that uses almost every minute to insult the audience and the FNaF fanbase.

However, the experience of watching “Five Nights at Freddy’s” come to life was exciting and semientertaining, especially considering its video game origins — heavy emphasis on “semi.”

“With books, YouTube videos and nine games in the series that analyze the theories of the game, you would think the movie uses a majority of the well-put-together lore. But to much dismay, it doesn’t.”

One of the many things this film does wrong is the pacing. The “scariest” part of the film happens around 45 minutes in, which is quick and anticlimactic. Without spoiling the scene, it’s the closest thing the movie gets to feeling like the game.

Another criticism of the movie is the writing. The movie attempts but fails to create characters

GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION BY MADELYN HENDRICKS THE COLLEGIAN

who are believable; most of their personalities are one-dimensional.

The film falls back on cliche movie tropes and fails to create captivating characters.

Not to mention there are a handful of plot holes riddled throughout the film. After the movie’s conclusion, you’ll be left asking — from a logical perspective — why many decisions were made by characters.

Thankfully, the only decently written character was the protagonist, Mike. His character has a well-written narrative with a semicompelling backstory. However, to the film’s detriment, his personal conflicts are continuously brought up throughout the film, which aids the film’s storytelling the first handful of times but becomes old as the film progresses.

Finally, the treatment of the original FNaF lore is easily the worst. With books, YouTube videos and nine games in the series that analyze the theories of the game, you would think the movie uses a majority of the well-put-together lore. But to much dismay, it doesn’t.

The lore itself is packed with conspiracy, children being kidnapped, murders and other golden horror tropes that could make for a great movie. The only part of the lore that stays intact with the movie is the absolute bare bones of the original story of the

first game, and all the rest is fluffed Hollywood garbage.

However, despite the many criticisms of this movie, there are a few positives, one being the suit designs of the animatronics. They truly look accurate to the video game, and a viewer can definitely tell there was care and precision put into the designs of the suits, which is surreal to see and adds to the overall immersion of the story.

The second well-done aspect of the film was the set design. There were small details packed into the backgrounds of the establishment that closely resemble props and images found within the games.

The third best thing about the movie was when the screen turned black and the credits started rolling.

“Five Nights at Freddy’s” is handsdown one of the most frustrating cinematic experiences. A fumbled story that’s littered with plot holes, pacing that is painfully confusing and haphazardly put together and extensive lore that is practically thrown out the window for no reason whatsoever all feel like a firm slap in the face to the audience.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a casual horror film enjoyer, “Five Nights at Freddy’s” will undoubtedly disappoint you.
