Across the country, sitting in his offi ce in Washington, D.C., Pulitzer Prize winning Washington Post columnist George F. Will refl ected on his childhood and counted his blessings.

“It certainly was a blessing to have educated parents. They both were teachers. The con-versation was good. B o o k s were a part of life and a big part of our dé-cor in our h o m e , ” Will said.

Having teachers for par-ents, he is no novice to the importance of education. Will enjoys the academic setting, so much in fact, that he has dedicated a big part of his life to traveling the country giving speeches.

“Well, it gets me out of Washington. I’ve forgotten who it was defi ned Washington as an enclave surrounded on four sides by reality,” Will said. “It’s extremely good to get out into the country and hear what normal people are thinking and talking about and I par-ticularly enjoy getting together with students.”

Considered to be one of the most renowned writers in the world, according to a CSU offi cial, Will is known for his appearance in over 450 news-papers, his biweekly column in Newsweek and his political commentary on ABC.

Thursday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m., the conservative commentator will take stage at Moby Arena as part of CSU’s 2013 Monfort Lecture Series. Nearly 2,500 tickets have already been re-served by CSU students,

Behind the tall green fences and trailers that now line the west end of the Lory Student Center, a team of up to 30 construction workers have begun laying the foun-dation for the largest capi-tal improvement project on campus in recent memory.

Once the summer is over, that team will expand to up to 300, who will work day and night to ensure that the $65 million project fi nishes both on time and on budget.

“It’s always unique to re-model a building while it’s being used,” said Bill Bialek,

a CSU graduate and super-intendent for Saunders Con-struction. “ ... It’s a challenge to be in the center of campus and in an area that is so fre-

quently used by students.” Construction offi cially

began during winter break, and so far, the crew has torn down the solarium and the west end of the south ball-room, as well as started to update the LSC’s over 50-year-old utility system.

Wednesday night in the ASCSU Senate Chambers, university president Tony Frank discussed a proposed tuition increase for students in the upcoming fi scal year — something that student gov-ernment opposes because

part of the money would go to increase faculty salaries by 3 percent.

If approved in the new fi scal budget, the faculty sal-ary increase ASCSU is against would stop a three-year halt the university has had on fac-ulty salaries.

First dispensary applications submitted to city of Fort Collins

According to the Colora-doan, first applications for medical marijuana dispen-saries have been submit-ted to the city. Many of the businesses that were closed down from the 2011 ban on dispensaries for medical marijuana in Fort Collins are the first to submit their applications. The city is now charging $2,000 for an ap-plication fee along with a $1,000 license fee. Although the fees have increased sig-nificantly since 2011, some expect the inflated fee to pose a possible deterrent for application.

Keg of The Month

The Rocky Mountain Collegian | Thursday, January 31, 2013 3

Over the past couple of semes-ters, I have become increasingly con-vinced that Colo-rado State Univer-sity President Tony Frank is haunted. The symptoms are there for anyone to see, so there is no need to thank me for my brilliant insight.

CSU has been having massive reconstruction projects with new buildings popping up both on campus and off, at places like the foothills lab. There was not much construction on campus for years, as evidenced by how old some of the buildings are, and then all of a sudden everything was under construction.

It would be one thing if all the construction seemed to make sense but when projects like the study cube defacing the library are taken into account, I am even more convinced of the presence of spirits. There is just no logical reason for a person who is not haunted by spirits to build such a thing.

I understand that for some of you that might be a big step to take. How does excessive construction have anything to do with Tony Frank being haunted?

Stephen King has been accredited with some of the best horror stories of our time.

Unfortunately, a large portion of

those are based on real stories. His fa-mous story of Rose Red, turned into a miniseries event, was based on some-thing called the Winchester Manor. The Winchester Manor, also known as the Winchester Mystery House, is even more terrifying than the story because it is incredibly true, just like what is happening around campus.

I know a lot of you hate history, but stay with me for a minute. William Wirt Winchester married Sarah Winchester. The Winchester family was responsible for some of the first repeating firearms and made guns that were said to have “won the west.” As you can imagine, many lives were lost to the bad end of a Winchester Rifle.

Sarah Winchester was extremely superstitious, and I say that because only someone that into spirits would do what she did. When her husband died, she was visited by ghosts who told her to move out West and build a home for the spirits whose lives were lost to Winchester Rifles and, here is the important part, if she ever stopped building, she would be killed by them.

This led to some of the most excessive construction projects in his-tory because Sarah Winchester never once stopped building her manor for 38 years until the day she died. So now the manor is a maze of a home where rooms are sealed off, staircases go into ceilings, windows connect rooms indoors and tourists frequently get absurdly lost. See, Mrs. Winchester felt that the equivalent 5 million dollars she spent on never stopping

construction was confusing the bad ghosts, while providing a nice place to reside for the good ghosts.

But back to my point, which you hopefully have not forgotten through-out my history lesson. Tony Frank must now be in contact with similar spirits. The never ending construc-tion, the pointless projects, (have you been in the cube? Eighty percent of it is a bathroom and elevator, and a dropped pencil echoes through the limited space that’s left) and ridicu-lous amounts of money spent — all point to spirit involvement.

When visiting the website that is supposedly the host of the information regarding the current construction, I got several errors of pages not being able to load. It is the spirits!

I understand your reluctance to believe me. “Tony Frank never built any rifles,” you would say. You are correct, but he can also be seen as the responsible party for the very poor and unfortunate souls buried alive in stu-dent loan debt. It is the spirit of these victims that I believe now haunt our university president.

But like Sarah Winchester, there must also be good spirits here as well, because how else do you explain such an impressive beard. It is unnatural and wonderful, and totally the spirits’ doing.

Sarah Romer is a senior electrical engineering major. Her column appears Thursday in the Collegian. Letters and feedback can be sent to [email protected].

We’ve all become accus-tomed to it — whether it’s early in the morning, late at night or heralding its arrival while you’re on your way to class, the trains that traverse through Fort Col-lins and the whistles that have become the soundtrack to gen-erations of students on this cam-pus.

The City of Fort Collins is considering plans to silence the blaring sound of the train announcing its approach, re-placing it with quiet zones built around consecutive public crossings, which would cost mil-lions.

The train whistle is incredi-bly annoying at first, sometimes even rattling dorm rooms and

waking up residents who live nearby. After spending some time here, however, you begin

to hardly notice the sound of the train — or the train at all, unless it happens to block your way to

class when you’re already almost late (like it always does).

But once you discover the tunnel that runs beneath the train tracks and hear the famil-iar whistle stumbling home ear-ly in the morning, the sound of the train can even start to grow on you. Even if it doesn’t grow on you, the sound is still tolerable, and helps ward away the habit-ual train deaths Fort Collins is subjected to.

While the exact price of the project isn’t yet known, estimates put it in the millions. This city is no stranger to construction and the inconveniences associated with it, and without strong vocal support from the community the plans should never go into effect.

Having funding problems? Just bill the students

By sarah rOmer

By res steCker

Recently, I sat down to look over my most recent billing statement from Colorado State University. I did this because I was feeling particularly cheerful that day and needed to de-press my wallet and myself.

Fortunately, I was not disappoint-ed. Sure enough, thousands of tuition dollars had been charged to me be-cause I am desperate enough for that piece of paper I will get in only two more semesters. On top of that, I saw I was paying nearly another thousand

dollars between general fees this or facility fees that. However, I was not so jubilant when I discovered that

the aforementioned billing statement went on to include something known as differential tuition. This little wonder proceeded to bill me an additional $105 per course, or $525 altogether for this new semester.

I immediately thought this must be some mistake. I never signed up for any differential tuition program, nor did I want any part of it. Plus, why start charging me now during my spring term instead of fall?

Unfortunately, the answers were not easy to come by. Searching the Internet for differential tuition at CSU simply gives a few links towards the official website of our university and these links (after labored navigation) only tell you how much you will be charged, not why you are being charged.

Furthermore, various faculty and staff at the university were equally as unhelpful. I got a definition of what it is and a bunch of people assuring me that it was not “that bad.”

Still, the quality of my education did not improve from fall to spring, nor did the value of my education from here, so why charge me more money?

History and French classes are not the highest in demand. There was no new profound innovation intro-duced which all of a sudden made French 201 $100 more valuable than French 200. I can only conclude that the reason I am now being charged several hundred dollars more per semester is because my Liberal Arts degree has now become so much more valuable and because History of the British Empire is a class in serious high demand.

Actually, the reason I am being charged more money now is because I have taken enough credits to be con-sidered a junior at CSU and thus the powers-thatbe have decided that I am going to stick it out for the duration of my studies. So, why not hit me with another big fat bill!

Over the last few years here at the university, I have realized that the people in charge of funding for our school seem to only want to find new and creative ways to gouge students out of every cent they do not have.

Indeed I wonder how the Board of Governors and, to be Frank, our university president live with themselves knowing they are literally squeezing everything they can out of the student body just because they are too lazy to find other creative means of funding. Talk about taking the easy way out.

Someday, they will hit a wall and realize that raising tu-ition at least 9 percent every year is not going to fly. Some-day, the student body will refuse to pay an outrageous increase in tuition while getting nothing new in return.

Also, according to the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, Colorado State University has increased its resi-dent tuition rate by 56.1 percent over the past five years, the second highest rate in the Colorado during that time.

Perhaps if our president put as much effort into secur-ing $150 million worth of philanthropic gifts for scholar-ships for students as he does trying to get that money for a university, then our student body may actually be able to go to school without drowning in sea of debt.

Finally, it seems that it should be the responsibility of ASCSU to do something about this madness. I ful-ly support programs that give drunkards rides home, because that is critical to life stuff right there, but maybe if the student body president really pushed the powerful people at this university towards a funding solution that was not simply “bill the students,” maybe those students would have a little better debt free future so that later their drinking for fun would not turn into drinking to avoid the pain of being broke.

Just a thought.

During halftime of the men’s basketball game last night, six teachers from dif-ferent departments were brought out onto the court.

Each was recognized for being selected out of hun-dreds nominated as one of the best professors of 2012 at CSU. Each year, students and alumni can nominate current professors for the honor of best teacher.

“It’s a big award and it comes from the students so it actually means a lot,” said recipient Sven Egen-hoff from the Department of Geosciences.

“I think many people are doing wonderful things and deserve this award probably even more than I do … but I’m very honored to receive this award,” said recipient Molly Eckman, from the Department of Design and Merchandising.

These teachers all ex-press passion in their work. The connections with pupils

were expressed by many of the award winners as one of the most rewarding aspects of teaching.

“I feel honored to en-ter the shared space of the university classroom with my students,” recipient Eric Aoki, from the Department of Communication Studies, wrote in an email to the Col-legian.

“I always encourage stu-dents to talk and share their ideas, and that’s the best part of teaching,” recipient Lumi-na Albert, from the Depart-ment of Management, said.

The teachers are first nominated by students and alumni and then chosen by a committee of six people, made up of a student repre-sentative, alumni represen-tatives, a former best teach-er award recipient and staff from The Institute for Learn-ing and Teaching at CSU.

Nominations for 2013 Best Teacher Awards will be closing on Feb. 8 at 5 p.m.

“(Honoring recipients at the basketball game) is an opportunity for people to

see those teachers and think about nominating their own teacher before the nomina-tions close in February,” said Lindsay Sell, assistant direc-tor for Student Advancement Programs and manager of Wednesday night’s event.

More than anything, this award serves to help teach-ers see that they are actually making a difference.

“I think an award like this helps us understand that we are making a con-nection and we are making a difference and that can help

to inspire us to be better teachers than we have been

in the past,” Eckman said.Collegian Writer Matt

Colorado State President Tony Frank speaks to the senate about tuition Wednesday evening in the Lory Student Center.

Hunter tHoMpson | COLLEGIAN

Continued from page 1

Between 1995 and 2008, teachers enjoyed about a 3.5 percent raise each academic year. But from 2009 to 2012, they received no increases at all.

CSU ranks 23rd in the nation for average faculty salary, according to Educa-tionNews.org.

The proposed tuition increase would be 9 percent for resident undergraduates, 3 percent for out-of-state students and 5 percent for graduate students.

ASCSU wants to be a

part of discussions about tuition increases. As the student government reso-lution notes, resident un-dergraduate tuition has ris-en 136 percent in the past 10 years.

“We really are pushing for tuition to be as low as possible,” said ASCSU Presi-dent Regina Martel in a pre-sentation to a variety of uni-versity staff at Wednesday’s budgeting retreat.

On the issue of raising tuition rates, Frank said this is one of the most import-ant topics facing public uni-versities. But it is a problem

with no easy solutions.“I don’t think there

are any silver bullets right now,” Frank said in his pre-sentation.

Provost Rick Miran-da made it clear that the proposed budget for CSU is still being adjusted. He mentioned at the budget re-treat — where campus offi-cials talked to college deans and community members Wednesday — that there has been no final decision on tu-ition rate.

According to Frank, the fiscal budget won’t be fully decided until April.

“Between now and then everything is potentially on the table,” he said.

Given that Frank was the one who proposed the first initial draft of the fiscal bud-get, he did express that, if left to him, the budget may not change much.

“It stands to reason that this isn’t too far off from my choice,” Frank said.

Encompassing this fact, Resolution 4206 includes a therefore clause demanding ASCSU’s Tuition Task Force, who wrote the resolution, to assess it later this spring se-mester.

The City of Fort Col-

lins is discussing plans to replace the train whistle by implementing quiet zones and safety plat-forms at train crossings — a project that would cost millions, according to city transportation planner Amy Lewin.

The Federal Railroad Administration requires train horns to routinely sound at public crossings, and according to Lewin, quiet zones would be built around consecutive public crossings.

Because the project has not been approved by the city, it is still unclear where along the track quiet zones would be implemented. While the project is esti-mated to cost millions of dollars, a definite dollar amount has yet to be de-termined.

“Train horn noise af-fects the entire commu-nity, and being able to work toward a solution to improve quality of life is a great thing,” Lewin said.

Lewin and her team have spoken with CSU’s Facilities Management to talk about how this project would impact the campus community.

“It’s challenging in downtown and CSU be-cause those crossings are close together,” Lewin said. “Quiet zones have to be at least a half-mile in length so we have to make improve-ments as a group in those areas of downtown and ar-eas of campus.”

One office on campus is continually affected by the train noise because of their proximity to the tracks. Resources for Disabled Students (RDS), located in the General Services build-ing right next to the train tracks, provides testing ac-commodations to students with permanent or tempo-rary disabilities.

“It’s especially relevant to our office because stu-dents come here to take exams in a quiet space,” said Michelle Patterson, a senior English major who has been working for RDS

for the last four years.“It’s unfortunate that

the location of our build-ing is right up against the tracks because in the mid-dle of tests and exams you hear it going off and it’s re-ally disruptive,” Patterson said.

The train runs paral-lel to the office and the noise from the horn is so loud employees have to stop mid-sentence when they’re on the phone until the train has passed.

“It’s really distracting. We feel so bad for the kids who come here. They come to us to get special accom-modations and we can’t promise that it’ll be 100 percent quiet or that we can give them exactly what they need,” Patterson said.

The community re-mains divided however with some students saying train renovations are un-necessary.

“I just think maybe Fort Collins could use their money a little more effec-tively than spending it all on quieting a train,” said Esther Miner, a senior en-vironmental sociology ma-jor.

Other students agreed the train horn is annoying but after coming to cam-pus, they got used to the noise and don’t even hear it anymore.

Tyler Koniecza, a fresh-man biomedical sciences major, said the train horn bothered her when she first moved to Fort Collins but it doesn’t bother her as much as it used to.

“People in the dorm complain about the train waking them up but I don’t hear it anymore,” Koniecza said.

Despite these con-cerns, many CSU students still said they think de-creasing train noise would benefit the Fort Collins community and the study atmosphere within the university.

Army Staff Sergeant Donald Sutton and E7 Coast Guard Chief John Shunk re-ceived a hero’s welcome at Moby Arena last night.

The two soldiers were honored in a pregame cere-mony before the CSU men’s basketball team squared off against Boise State as part of the CSU athletic depart-ment’s Military Appreciation Night.

Escorted onto the court by a four-man color guard of Army and Air Force ROTC cadets, the pair received thundering applause and shouts of thanks from the crowd after the national an-them was performed.

They were also named honorary team captains for the men’s basketball team for the evening.

Assembled in the crowd were approximately 40 ROTC cadets in uniform who showed up to support their brothers in arms.

“We wanted to come out and show support for veter-

ans,” said ROTC cadet and natural resources manage-ment sophomore Jonathan Kummer. “We’re just a big family.”

The athletic department partnered with the Wound-ed Warrior Project and the National Association of Col-legiate Directors of Athletics to bring Shunk and Sutton to Fort Collins from Colorado Springs.

“CSU Athletics is hum-bled to have the opportuni-ty to recognize John Shunk and Donald Sutton,” said Director of Athletics Jack Graham in a press release. “These two heroes, who call Colorado home, represent thousands of men and wom-en who put their lives on the line every day to defend our country and our freedom.”

Wounded Warrior Proj-ect (WWP) is a nonprofit organization based in Jack-sonville, Fla. that supports and empowers wounded soldiers and works on in-creasing public awareness for wounded veterans.

Shunk said he spent Tuesday snowshoeing out-

side of Frisco on an outing sponsored by WWP.

According to the WWP website, more than 48,000 service members have been physically wounded during the current military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hundreds of thousands more are estimated to be recovering from invisible wounds of war, including post-traumatic stress disor-der, major depression and traumatic brain injury.

Sutton returned from his last overseas deployment in 2009. With 21 years of mili-tary service under his belt, he’s looking forward to the next stage of his life when he retires next month.

Sutton plans on finishing a double associate degree in the tech field and continuing to work with the WWP in the Transition Training Acade-my. The TTA helps wounded soldiers pursue career op-tions in tech fields.

Sutton said even if a sol-dier doesn’t have physical injuries, there could be psy-chological impairment, such as post-traumatic stress dis-

order, that make transition-ing back to normal life dif-ficult.

“Some of the soldiers coming back might have is-sues being around crowds of people,” Sutton said. “In other situations crowds of people didn’t like us. It’s hav-ing to adjust to a whole new mental environment.”

The pair spent the after-noon touring campus and meeting with ROTC cadets and officers.

Lt. Col. Channing Moose, professor of military science at CSU, said it was an honor for the ROTC cadets to meet the veteran soldiers. He also said the WWP helps with the long term transition away from combat that wounded soldiers go through.

“It’s more than just med-ical needs for soldiers who are wounded,” Moose said. “Wounded Warrior Program also helps care for vets and their families over the years in areas outside of just med-ical needs.”

Former CSU head foot-ball coach Steve Fairchild will be heading back to col-lege.

The University of Virgin-ia announced Wednesday it has picked Fairchild as its new offensive coordinator.

Fairchild has spent the past year as the senior offen-sive assistant for the San Di-ego Chargers, after spending the previous four seasons with Colorado State, where his teams posted a com-bined 16-33 record before he was fi red in December of

2011.Fairchild boasts 31 years

of coaching expe-rience at the col-legiate and pro-fessional levels, including eight years of experi-ence in the NFL as a running backs and quarterbacks coach as well as stints as an offen-sive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills and St. Louis Rams.

“I am very excited to join the football program at the University of Virginia,”

Fairchild said to Virginia’s athletic site, virginiasports.

com. “I can’t wait to get started. I’m excited about the type of foot-ball team we can have and anxious to get to Charlot-tesville and get to work.”

The hiring of Fairchild fi lls a vacancy left by Bill Lazor, who resigned his po-

sitions as offensive coor-dinator and quarterbacks coach for the Cavaliers after accepting a quarterbacks

coaching position with the Philadelphia Eagles.

“Steve Fairchild brings a wealth of experience to Vir-ginia and when you look at the offenses of the teams he has coached, you see high achievement,” said Virginia head coach Mike London. “Throughout his career you fi nd Steve was a part of coaching staffs that have had tremendous offensive success and we are really fortunate to have him join our staff.”

Hornung does it all in win over Boise State

Road nailbiter ends in 57-56 victory for Rams

By CRIS TILLERThe Rocky Mountain Collegian

Some nights you’re just feeling it.

Basketball is a funny game that way.

Wednesday night was just such a game for senior forward Pierce Hornung, who led the charge in a 77-57 win over Boise State (14-6, 2-4 MW) helping the Rams stretch their home winning streak to 25 games.

Hornung, known for his unparallelled hustle and grit, and most cer-tainly not for his jump shot, did it all. He hit three 3-pointers (on three at-tempts), brought in 13 re-bounds and tallied a game high 23 points, one off from his career high.

“I just made one (three point shot), it felt good, so I fi gured I’d try another and then tried another,” Hor-nung said. “It felt good. I felt like I was in a rhythm out there. My teammates Dorian (Green) and Colton (Iverson) found me for some easy bas-kets.”

Really the only area to critique Hornung’s play was at the charity stripe, where he was just 4-of-9, and he was the fi rst to point it out. True insight to his mentality.

“He’s just a man,” CSU coach Larry Eustachy said

of Hornung. “He’s not played well the last couple games...but nobody’s harder on Pierce than Pierce. The way to coach Pierce is to just keep his confi dence up.”

CSU (17-4, 4-2 MW) as a team shot poorly from the free throw line, (19-of-35) but the score never got close enough for its struggles to impact the contest.

The Rams seized con-trol thanks to their defen-sive effort. They held Boise State, the Mountain West’s highest-scoring team, to 38 percent shooting, nine percent under its season average, and almost 20 points below its scoring average.

“I think it was coming down to contesting and making every shot tough,” senior guard Dorian Green said of Boise’s poor shoot-ing night. “If you don’t let those guys get in rhythm early then it kind of affects them.”

Neither team started off particularly hot from the fi eld, but the Rams were able to stick with their plan and continue the type of quality defense they’ve shown most of this season.

Boise State went a stretch of nearly eight min-utes to end the first half without a field goal and was limited to 20 points

at the break. The Broncos were hurt by the loss of their leading scorer Der-rick Marks, who played just nine minutes because of an illness he couldn’t play through.

“We showed up for the game, and at shootaround today, we had one more guy and our leading scorer,” Boise State coach Leon Rice said. “And then when we get to the arena and Derrick can’t go out and warm up. ... He tried, bless his heart. These guys are trying to compete,

but sometimes they’re just curveballs thrown at you.”

Boise State’s second leading scorer, Anthony Drmic, was held to 12 points

on 3-of-11 shooting.Eustachy was impressed

with the way his team battled through a sub-par shooting night, suggesting it was the best game they played all year.

“I thought we played our best for long periods of time in the areas that win: defending and rebounding,” Eustachy said. “I think this team has a huge upside for the next month.”

If the Rams are peaking, they picked the right time. Rival Wyoming comes to Moby Arena Saturday for

a pivotal game in the MW standings.

Wednesday night’s game at Boise State was a back and forth battle that featured a photo fi nish ending and a much needed victory for the CSU wom-en’s basketball team.

CSU entered halftime with a one point edge and experienced seven differ-ent lead changes before pulling the win out 57-56 on a game-winning jump-er knocked down by Hayley Thompson.

“All we had to do was get a rebound to win the game, and we didn’t and they did,” Boise State coach Gordy Presnell said. “They kept playing, and we became spectators. The victory goes to them.”

The Rams broke their slow starting habit with the offensive effort from junior forward Sam Martin.

Martin got CSU off on the right foot by hitting back-to-back buckets from behind the arch to begin the game.

“I was feeling it,” Mar-tin said. “We went in there with the right mindset of getting this thing off to a great start.”

After snagging the early lead, CSU held it all the way through the fi rst half. However, Boise State was able to connect on a couple quick, late-half three-pointers to end the half trailing 32-31 after be-ing down by seven.

The Rams wasted no time rebuilding the cush-ion in the second half, but after a string of fouls and missed buckets, the Bron-cos took the lead with 11 minutes 7 seconds to play.

The fi nal ten minutes of play consisted of each team matching each oth-

er's fi eld goals from the fl oor, until Boise State’s Di-ana Lee sank a three-point shot to give it a one point lead with 27 seconds left in regulation, causing CSU coach Ryun Williams to call timeout.

“We just said, ‘Relax, we’ve got you, we’re win-ning the game,’ and they had a good winning mind-set the last two posses-sions,” Williams said.

The fi nal possession of the game included a missed layup followed by a rebound that allowed CSU to make the fi nal shot as time expired.

Martin fi nished the game with 22 points, pass-ing 1,000 career points at CSU in her junior season.

“It’s pretty cool and I’m excited about it. I saw Kim Mastdagh do it once, and it’s cool to follow her and the others that have done it,” Martin said. “On top of it all, I have some great girls here to celebrate it with.”

CSU improves to 6-13, 2-4 in Mountain West play, as Boise falls to 10-9, 3-3 MW.

“Give these kids cred-it, they’ve been resilient. Things haven’t been all that pretty this year and they’re still coming to work, and tonight they got rewarded for it,” Williams said. “It feels good to be a Ram to-night.”

In the newest production from the CSU theater department, the actors won’t be the only thing

you’ll be watching.“Comic Potential”, a

romantic sci-fi comedy, is being performed “in the round” — a staging tech-nique where the stage is in the center of the room with the audience surrounding it.

Senior theatre major Tim Garrity calls it a challenge preparing on a stage that is dependent on the audience, but fi nds the overall experi-ence enjoyable. Garrity plays Chandler Tate, a bitter tele-vision director who survives on sarcasm and Jack Daniels.

“I trust that I was put in the right place; it’s a very natural way to act,” Garrity said.

Junior theater major Mac Trowbridge agreed, adding that acting in such a way puts more pressure on the actor to be in character at all times.

“At one aspect it’s very exciting, but it’s also very nerve racking because the audience will see you breathe and hear you just standing there, but I think it will be challenging to project yourself in a 360 manner,” Trowbridge said.

“In the round gives in-credible intimacy. Actors are not having to play out artifi cially to the front,” said director, Eric Prince.

Sophomore business major Emma Schenkenberg-er plays Jacie Tripplethree, an actoid — a low budget android that has replaced actors in this futuristic soci-ety — with what appears to be a fault: She can laugh.

Faced with this dilemma, the crew allows young up-and-coming writer, Adam Trainsmith, to use Jacie for a comedy he is working on. More and more, Adam falls in love with this “fault” of hers.

“She changes so much. In the beginning she’s just a robot. Adam treats her like a real person, and once she sees that she can be treated that way she sees that she has the potential to create her own person,” Schen-kenberger said. “It’s a prod-uct of her environment and who she’s around. She’s very

strong and creative in her-self.”

Trainsmith, played by Trowbridge, causes an up-roar when he runs off with Jacie.

“Throughout the play Adam has more confi dence and tends to speak his mind and put his foot down to stand up for himself which is different from myself,” Trow-bridge said. “It’s been en-lightening to play this char-acter and very benefi cial for myself, personally.”

Schenkenberger said she enjoyed portraying an android because of its versa-tility in presenting the char-acter. She added that being thought of as just a “tin can” by some characters gave her a very real sense of anger.

“It is pushing the lim-its of defi ning a human,” Schenkenberger said.

Prince is close to Ayck-bourn’s work, having been an associate of the playwright’s theater in Scarborough, En-gland. Two of Prince’s plays have been produced in Ayckbourn’s theater.

According to Prince, the key to this performance is the audience’s reactions to both the actors on stage and to each other. However, he says that the play also ex-plores questions of future attitudes toward technology.

“Technology is always

going to surprise us in ways we can’t imagine, but at the end of the day a computer will never be a human be-ing,” Prince said.

“(Ayckbourn) does have a (liking) for science fi ction situations and uses that fantasy element, but at the end there is a serious mes-sage: Will we one day put machines (in) control our lives?”

CSU students have the opportunity to get a free ticket to Thursday’s per-formance. These free tick-ets are on a fi rst come, fi rst serve basis. These tickets are also available for next Thursday’s showing and for any Thursday theater per-formances.

Fort Collins Mayor Kar-en Weitkunat said in a press release Wednesday evening that she intends to run for reelection — and oversee a changing relationship with CSU during her second term in offi ce, should the city’s voters grant her the opportunity.

“I think it’s only go-ing to get stronger,” she said in a phone interview with the Collegian. “CSU is an economic force in the community ... (university president) Frank is totally connected in partnering with the community.”

Weitkunat, who is cur-

rently running uncontested according to the release, said housing would contin-ue be high on her list of pri-orities as mayor if reelected.

She explained that “recently with the housing short-age, student hous-ing has become a major community concern.” Weit-kunat added that the city govern-ment has been putting together an action plan that deals with the issue due in February.

“Housing is always high on the agenda it’s one of the fundamental basics of

a community,” Weitkunat said. “That’s regardless of student, senior, homeless, down the line. It’s the gam-

ut in housing.”Weitkunat’s

release cited her experience on the Fort Col-lins Planning and Zoning Board, Housing Authority, Lar-imer County Planning Com-mission and Colorado State Housing Board,

among other councils before being elected mayor in 2011.

cuss “The Political Argument Today,” the title of his lec-ture. The Monfort Excellence Fund started in 1999 and will continue until 2014.

“I hope people say of my argument, ‘I disagree with it but he makes it well’ and to them I say the longer you lis-ten to me the more certain it is I’m going to convert you,’” Will said. “The conservatism is true and the truth is irre-sistible.”

SKELLER | Pipe bursts due to freezing temperaturesContinued from Page 1

said Lucas Veitel, a senior biology major who was in the Skeller when it hap-pened. “I turn around and there was this black liq-uid coming out of the back doors of the Skeller.”

LSC Executive Director Mike Ellis said workers will be laboring through the night to make sure that the popular gathering place will be open Thursday morning.

Ellis added that freezing temperatures caused the pipe to burst.

Five emergency ve-hicles, including two fi re

trucks, were spotted on the LSC Plaza.

“It was spraying, like full on spraying,” Veitel said. “The fi rst thing that students started doing was moving tables and chairs. It was kind of cool to see.”

Information about the Skeller’s reopening and the extent of the damage was not immediately available. More details are expected to be released later in the day.

Students wait on the plaza while the Lory Student Center is evacuated at around 2 p.m. after a pipe burst, fl ooding the Skeller.

LSC | Project to add 40,000 square feetContinued from Page 1

This process has in-volved navigating equip-ment around an under-ground steam tunnel, slowly chipping away at the student center’s ex-terior with a more than $80,000 remote control jackhammer, removing the remnants of an old ice rink and carefully recycling as many bricks as possible to achieve the project’s de-sired sustainability rating.

In addition, the crew has meticulously tried to salvage all of the sculp-tures and alumni plaques from the stairwell leading to the LSC’s west entrance, as well as attempted to use as much signage as possi-ble to ensure that students and staff members don’t accidentally enter the con-struction area.

Currently, the project is both on time and on bud-get, Bialek said.

“So far, we haven’t got-ten any complaints,” Bialek said. “We’ve tried to be as low-impact as possible.”

But that didn’t mean that students returning from winter break weren’t jarred by yet another construction project on a campus where the sight of yellow tape and the sound of jackhammers are familiar ones.

“It’s horrible,” said Sa-mantha Denard, a sopho-more ethnic studies major. “I mean, we came here to come to Colorado State, (but) we go to Construc-tion State.”

Since 2007, notable construction projects have included the Cam-pus Recreation Center, Durell Center, the Behav-ioral Sciences building, Moby Arena, Rockwell Hall and the Computer Science building.

The $60 million of the LSC reconstruction project budget funded by bonds is the largest of any CSU proj-ect since 2007, according to a presentation found on the Facilities Management website.

The second most costly bonded project is the Lory Apartments, which will uti-lize bonds for the entirety of its $48 million budget.

University officials fa-miliar with the bonds pro-cess were unavailable for comment by deadline.

The LSC renovation project will completely overhaul all 160,000 square feet of the facility, as well as add approximately 40,000 gross square feet. In April 2011, students approved a $70 student fee to help fund the project, which will not go into effect until fall 2015.

While the center is un-der construction, many of its services — including the Associated Students of CSU and the various cam-pus advocacy offices — will be relocated to the MAC gym in the Campus Recre-ation Center.

“But I think all the peo-ple that are involved in the relocation, all the student services offices, diversity offices, ASCSU govern-ment...I think they are all ready to work together and make the space work be-cause without this space, they would be dispersed across campus and maybe some of them off campus,” said Judy Muenchow, the executive director for Cam-pus Recreation.

CTV Multimedia Re-porter Allison Sylte can be reached at [email protected]. Kirsten Swanson, Kari Pills, Sean Korbitz and Bri-ana Hottinger contributed to this report.

offiCeS | Many diversity organizations will be moving to the MAC gymContinued from Page 1

2013 and will remain in their temporary location until fall 2014. The renovation is ex-pected to be completed by August and the offices will be welcomed into their new spaces at that time.

Those interviewed said the move of the offices will be a change that may take some getting used to for stu-dents, staff, recreation staff and attendees.

In an interview with CTV News, Judy Muenchow, the executive director of Cam-pus Recreation, explained that the transformation of the MAC gym will begin in February and should take roughly three months.

Muenchow further ex-plained that it may take right up until May, however, they are hopeful that at the end of April or the beginning of May, the offices will be able to relocate.

The Asian/Pacific Amer-ican Culture Center (APACC) said that they plan to wait to make the move, according to Jeannie Lee, a student staff member.

“We will be moving to the MAC gym in May after finals,” Lee said.

According to staff mem-bers in El Centro, there is a predetermined floor plan for the offices in the gym.

“They are putting up lit-tle walls to section off each office. There will be commu-nity meeting rooms, lounge areas and copier/printing areas,” said Brandy Salazar.

Until the renovation is complete, the diversity of-fices will be sharing the gym with one another as well as several of the administrative offices.

The director of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Resource Cen-ter, Foula Dimopoulos, ex-plained that this move is go-ing to be nothing short of an adventure.

“We have an opportuni-ty to embrace change,” Di-mopoulos said.

Dimopoulos added that being in such close proxim-ity with the other offices is going to be more beneficial than anything else.

“To have all of us in the

same space, with the heart of student government and community is really incred-ible,” Dimopoulos said.

While the move is going to potentially eliminate the boundaries that were created by the walls of the current of-fice, Dimopoulos is hopeful that regardless of where they are located, they will stay true to the overall goal of the GLBT Resource Center.

“As an office and as a di-rector, I remain committed to ensuring that our stu-dents can bring their full and authentic selves, no matter where we are,” Dimopoulos said.

If a student finds that they are in need of fur-ther accommodations, Di-mopoulos is happy to meet those needs.

“I’ve met with students at coffee shops, in the library and at their residence hall,” Dimopoulos said.

Muenchow explained that the move into the MAC gym was the best option for the offices.

“I think all the people that are involved in the re-location –– all the student services offices, diversity of-fices, ASCSU government –– I think they are all ready to work together and make the space work because with-out this space, they would

be dispersed across campus and maybe some of them off campus,” Muenchow said.

As the offices make their move into the MAC gym, Campus Recreation will need to make accommoda-tions for the students that would be using the gym for recreational purposes.

According to the CSU Campus Recreation website, drop-in locations will be re-located per availability.

Cody Frye, associate di-rector of campus recreation, said the changes will be sim-ilar to the set up prior to the renovation of the rec center a few years ago.

Frye explained that changes to the MAC gym are going to be a part of the LSC construction project. The rec center, therefore, will not be in charge of carrying out the transformation.

He explained that it will be cubicle-heavy and at any given time, there could be upward of 150 people in the MAC gym.

“There will be a separate entrance into the gym so that students can access the offices,” Frye said. “There will be additional ID check-ers at the entrance to the rec center from the gym so that students who want to work out don’t have to go outside and around the building.”

The transformation is going to encompass sever-al changes, however, Frye is positive that there will be plenty of accommodations to make the move as easy as possible.

According to LSC Execu-tive Director Mike Ellis, there has not been any negativity expressed about the move.

“It appears to be fully embraced by the campus community,” Ellis said. “The directors and the students I’ve met with have been ex-tremely supportive.”

Furthermore Ellis ex-plained that the confiden-tiality piece has been ad-dressed and that the floor plan for the MAC gym was aimed at being as mindful as possible.

“Much like a cul-de-sac where everyone will be and a living room that is private, they offer the public-private balance,” said Ellis.
