Colorado State University students roll down the hill in front of the Lory Student Center, making the most of Fort Collins’ first snow of the season Oct. 28. Saturday morning, Colorado State University students woke up to a sheet of white powder covering the campus. Student Angelina Steffens said, “It was shocking that the first snow wasn’t sooner, especially being a Coloradan.” Steffens’ boyfriend Dawson Baranco said, “Waking up to the cold was not a vibe. It looked nice though.” With a high of 30 degrees, students were seen all over campus building snowmen, and some even pulled out their skis and snowboards for some seasonal fun.

ACCESSIBILITY

@CSUCollegian

ASCSU vice president hopes to add wellness vending machines to campus

By Samy Gentle @samy_gentle_

Almost a quarter of all women ages 22-49 have used emergency contraceptives at least once in their lives. This substantial percentage proves that having access to these products is a necessity for many people.

Providing accessibility to these products and other health items to students on campus is a goal of Associated Students of Colorado State University Vice President Alex Silverhart, who has been working to get wellness vending machines set up around campus.

While this initiative is still currently in the works, the goal would be for these wellness vending machines to mainly contain emergency contraceptive items such as Plan B One-Step contraception, but that isn’t all.

“Other items that we are hoping to include are sexual health items, pregnancy tests, Narcan, fentanyl test strips and other over-thecounter medications,” Silverhart wrote in an email.

Silverhart hopes to partner with the CSU Health Network Pharmacy and sell these items slightly above the price the pharmacy purchases them for but much cheaper than retail costs.

His main goal is to keep the price of emergency contraceptives at or below $10.

Silverhart believes that if the project is able to start with two machines, one could be focused on general students, and the other could be geared toward first-years specifically.

“The general machine would hopefully be placed in a building that is open a majority of the time and accessible to all students,” Silverhart wrote. “The second machine could be placed either in Ram’s Horn (Dining Center) or Durrell (Center), acting as an accessible resource for students living in the dorm.”

Before this project can secure funding, Silverhart is working with Brianna Riggio, the nursing manager at the CSU Health Network, to write an official proposal to the Office of the President to get the entire initiative approved.

Riggio fully supports the initiative.

“Expanding access to wellness tools is something that many students, staff and parents find important,” Riggio wrote in an email. “Any way we can reach students and help them in prioritizing their health — a lifelong skill we can help foster now — will help them be more successful as students and beyond.”

Silverhart hopes to utilize his involvement with ASCSU to receive the majority of needed funding through a senate bill.

He is also exploring options with outside donors, the university and university advancement.

Sexual health is a bit of a controversial topic, and Silverhart

anticipates some pushback about increasing accessibility to emergency contraceptives on campus from parents and CSU alumni.

“I think it is important to point out that all of the proposed items are already offered on campus,” Silverhart wrote. “The CSU Pharmacy has all of the items we intend to vend, but this project functions to increase accessibility and decrease cost.

“The CSU Pharmacy is located on the corner of campus and has limited hours during the week and no open hours during the weekend,” Silverhart wrote. “We are not reinventing the wheel. We are responding to student needs and attempting to improve healthcare on campus.”

Affordable condom and pregnancy test access in vending machines would provide a new on-campus resource empowering students to take a more active role in their sexual health.

“These machines would also increase equity, providing a low-cost option for students who may not be able to afford a $40 pill at a nearby convenience store,” Silverhart wrote.

“I want students to feel comfortable and safe on their college campus, and part of that comes from having accessible resources.”

“The purpose of these machines is not to make a profit but rather provide affordable and accessible items to students,” Silverhart wrote.

LOCAL POLITICS

@twwax7272

Elections are quickly approaching for Poudre School District, and the outcome will shake up the way children in Northern Colorado learn.

The purpose of this election is to bring in four officials to represent four director districts: A, B, F and G. Once an official is elected, that person will serve for four years.

Officials who are elected will be working as volunteers to serve the district and the community. The candidates also must live in the district they represent. The complexity of the election process is a result of the large geographic area and the diversity of the students who are in the PSD. Superintendent Brian Kingsley published a video talking about some of the challenges facing the Poudre School District. Kingsley spoke about the issue of declining enrollment within some of the districts, and he also mentioned that other districts are growing and may even require new schools to be built in order to handle such high enrollment.

PSD also has an estimated $1 billion in improvement needs — money the school district simply does not have.

However, the school district has received an increase in its budget, according to its website. The revenue per pupil is now listed at $9,037.97 — an all-time high. This may seem like a high cost, but the national average per pupil as of May of this year was $14,347, much higher than PSD. PSD also states on its website that the state of Colorado is withholding “$300 million in funding from school districts statewide through the application of the budget stabilization factor,” according to the district website.

PSD will hire an independent external facilitator who will lead a facilities planning steering committee.

This new committee will be responsible for evaluating program expansions and attendance areas.

The candidates running this year are Andrea Booth, Conor Duffy, Kevin Havelda, Kurt Kastein, Caleb Larson, Scott Schoenbauer and Jessica

Zamora. The winners of this group of candidates will impact the future of one of Colorado’s largest school districts.

Havelda emphasized the care of children in the district.

It’s a goal of Havelda’s to ensure more support for students’ mental health, multilingual children and students attending school in proximity of home.

“A kindergartner should not be forced to attend a school far outside of their own neighborhood just to have the same access to education as their peers who do not have the same background,” Havelda said.

Havelda plans to help students by promoting the work of other support teams and institutions such as the Early Childhood Education program, and he is aiming to expand resources in the district. Havelda also plans to take a stand on religion in the classroom.

“I will reject any and all measures that attempt to shoehorn in religious ideology into our public schools under the guise of ‘parental rights’ or other radical dog whistles,” Havelda said.

Havelda was also opposed to the idea of introducing politics to the classroom. This has been a hot topic for many classrooms nationwide in recent years.

“I am vehemently opposed to the weaponization of political theater in our classrooms; our classrooms should be sanctuaries of learning and development for our young people,” Havelda said. “They are not places to insert political ideology or an arcane interpretation of Leviticus to advance national culture wars.”

Schoenbauer said he has three main goals if he gets elected: a required financial literacy course for all students

who want to graduate, distraction-free learning environments and increased partnerships with the school district and the community.

One aspect of Schoenbauer’s distraction-free learning environments is tighter restrictions on cellphone usage in the classroom.

“Let’s face it: We’re all addicted to our phones,” Schoenbauer said. “Giving students a break from their phones during the day can be tremendously beneficial.

Currently, each classroom has different rules, and students are frequently distracted by texts and social media during class time.”

Schoenbauer’s financial literacy class would teach students about loans, credit cards and more beneficial financial information.

“Too many students are coming out of high school not fully understanding how student loans, car loans, apartment leases and credit cards work,” Schoenbauer said.

Schoenbauer has three children in the district and said that if it’s a good idea, it should not have to be forced onto anyone.

Larson, another candidate and a PSD product, also spoke about the upcoming election.

He primarily focused on two improvement areas: transparency and fiscal responsibility. PSD has been called out for its lack of transparency in the past and, as mentioned earlier, needs $1 billion for necessary improvements.

EXTREME ADVENTURING

The importance of conservation, safety in caving

By Adam Carlson @csucollegian

A constant and stable environment with consistent temperatures year-round, and no one is telling you how to get there.

Caves are entirely void of light; they are mazelike and claustrophobic. People die every year in caves. There is nothing in a cave worth going in for, yet caving is a hobby for many.

Despite every reason not to go into a cave, people will still enter. The fragility of the environment drives secrecy among cavers. The landscape is full of formations that will stop growing just from the oils on a hand. Every formation took millions of years to develop, so any loss of a formation is a loss of history about how the Earth formed.

The ecosystems in caves are a result of millions of years of evolution. Creatures existed on land and entered caves, where they then developed what they needed to live in dark, niche environments. This results in endemic species, which refers to animals that solely exist in one environment. In caves, they are called troglobites. These species may be found exclusively in as small as one cave.

This life is very fragile, and the loss of an endemic species as a result of human intervention can be devastating for the environment. Humans can introduce new

land-borne bacteria that, if exposed to a cave, can kill the living organisms inside. In short, a person’s presence can destroy the ecosystem.

With so many things to consider, caving is not an activity for the masses. But for those interested, executing a successful caving trip can be simple and easy.

One of the first things required for anyone who wishes to dive deeper into caving is a conservation mindset. If you have no consideration for the environment, you can and will destroy irreplaceable parts of our world that take millions of years to form and develop.

Another consideration goes toward yourself and your comfort levels. Caves can get tight and claustrophobic, so both panic and overconfidence might result in an accident. Caves can humble a person with ease, and it is the job of cavers to understand and protect this.

Caves are not meant for people. They are dark, muddy, slippery and cold. Entering a cave without proper light preparation is a complete disregard for one’s personal safety.

People who lose their sources of light are in grave danger of getting lost and even dying.

If you want to enter a cave, find a grotto or experienced cavers. Do research in advance, and go with people who can navigate the complex mazes underground. Going with qualified cavers gives you access to an

important range of knowledge that is required to be safe.

Cavers are known for their secrecy, but it does not mean they will never share their experience with you. If they trust that you are entering with good intentions and are prepared, they will likely take you.

Cave formations are full of information about how the world has changed over time, and they tell stories to those willing to listen.

The surface is otherworldly and feels straight from a movie. The silence is jarring and harsh.

If you are not making a sound, there is no sound to be heard. If you decide to turn your light off and sit in the darkness, it is one of the most isolating places you can be. The deep underground offers a place of peace for those willing to embrace this underground world — an experience unmatched by anything on land.

INCLUSIVITY

‘Breaking the News’ emphasizes importance of diversity in journalism

By McKenna Van Voris @mckenna_vv

The film “Breaking the News” was screened in the Lory Student Center Monday, Oct. 23, as one of the events at Colorado State University’s Symposium for Inclusive Excellence.

The film featured the process of starting and growing The 19th*, a news startup that began in 2020 with journalists Emily Ramshaw, Amanda Zamora and Errin Haines and their mission to create a more inclusive newsroom.

On the news channel’s website, The 19th* describes itself as “an independent, nonprofit newsroom reporting on gender, politics and policy.”

The name of The 19th* is representative of the 19th Amendment, which made voting an unalienable right for many.

However, millions of Black women and women of color were still excluded from this, hence the asterisk in the title of The 19th*.

At the end of the film, there was a discussion panel featuring Chelsea Hernansez, “Breaking the News” co-director; Alexandra Smith, audience director and chief product officer with The 19th*; and Tori Omega Arthur, moderator and associate professor in the journalism department at CSU. Hernandez said she got involved with The 19th* when she saw what Ramshaw was doing in early 2020 through social media. “(I) was following her on Twitter and saw that she was leaving the Texas Tribune to start something new,” Hernandez said. “And I actually think I had tweeted at her to be like, ‘If you start up a video team, I’d love to apply!’ So I was just keeping track of what she was doing, and then Heather, one of the directors — it

was her idea, and she connected with Emily and started filming in March 2020, … then brought me on board in the fall of 2020.”

In terms of how Smith came to join The 19th*, she explained what caught her attention was that, unlike other newsrooms, the organization promised representation.

“When I saw that The 19th* launched, I very much saw myself in that community right away because it was centering the stories of women and other marginalized people who very much didn’t have a voice in especially national, political media,” Smith said.

One of the main topics of discussion was the first scene of the film, which showed Ramshaw on a Zoom business call with a man. Ramshaw was attempting to present her ideas for The 19th* only for the man to repeatedly interrupt her.

“We just thought it was the perfect sort of setup to get into the story and showcase the reason Emily wanted to start this venture,

and I think she even said, when she first saw the cut, ‘That is my everyday reality,’” Hernandez said.

Something unique about “Breaking the News” is that not only is it about journalists in the fight for diversity in newsrooms, but it was also created by people who have experienced those issues firsthand.

For instance, the film had three female directors of different ethnicities — Latina, white and Black — as well as an Asian-American female producer and an executive producing team from various gender and racial backgrounds.

“I mean, we had our challenges and our own understanding of each other’s lived experiences, so I do feel like at times it was like art imitating life or life imitating art,” Hernandez said. “But it created a better story because we could bring about our perspectives, and those may have been lost in the storytelling if we hadn’t had this big team.”

Smith explained that as a new startup, it’s easy to “run-run-run” all of the time, and so something

The 19th* has been really working on is change of pace.

“We’ve been able to slow down, be a little more intentional, take up space and take space for ourselves as teams and in building relationships with one another and the communities we aim to serve,” Smith said. “It results in much more powerful storytelling, and it results in a much stronger internal culture. So very much life imitating art, art imitating life — journalism wrapped up somewhere in all of that.”

With 2024 right around the corner, The 19th* is currently discussing their new goals.

“Emily and Amanda originally launched The 19th* with a five-year vision, and we’ve achieved almost everything that they’ve set out in that vision, and it’s time for us to create a new one,” Smith said.

For those wanting to watch “Breaking The News,” it will be on PBS Feb. 19, and more information can be found at breakingthenewsfilm.com.

CSU hosts panel on transgender policy

By Hannah Parcells @hannahparcells

A panel on transgender policy in the U.S. was held on Wednesday, Oct. 25, as part of Colorado State University’s Symposium for Inclusive Excellence this year. Wednesday’s panel was a collaboration between the Pride Resource Center and the university’s Office for Inclusive Excellence.

The panel featured journalist and activist Erin Reed, the author of the Anti-Trans Legislative Risk Map, and Colorado Rep. Brianna Titone, the first transgender individual elected to the Colorado state legislature. The discussion was moderated by PRC Director Maggie Hendrickson.

Also slated to speak at the event was Montana Rep. Zooey Zephyr, the first transgender legislator elected in Montana. Zephyr was unable to attend due to getting sick before the event.

The panel focused on legislation around the country pertaining to transgender individuals, the restrictions being imposed in certain

states and the protections being passed in others. They also discussed trans joy as an act of resistance in the face of growing hate and their own experiences as prominent transgender individuals.

The speakers began with a brief overview of some of the current anti-trans legislation in states across the country.

“In just the last year, we saw 550 bills targeting the LGBTQ community in a large variety of ways,” Reed said. “They ban our past, our present, our future.”

Reed continued by showing her Anti-Trans Legislative Risk Map, which color-codes the country by state. Dark red states have the worst active anti-trans laws, and dark blue states have the most protective trans laws.

“An example would be Kansas, where they passed the bill that defines sex as binary and defines it as your assigned sex at birth,” Reed said. “They are currently going back to all of the trans people’s birth certificates right now, and they’re changing them back.

It doesn’t matter if you moved out of

Kansas and you’re living somewhere else; it’s dangerous, and this is what we’re seeing.”

On the opposite end of the spectrum are the states with protections, such as Colorado. Reed highlighted a bill in Colorado that was signed into law this year that legally protects people coming to Colorado from other states to access reproductive healthcare, including gender-affirming care.

“I want to say that we’re not seeing a universal movement against trans people,” Reed said. “We are seeing a divergence where some states are saying, ‘We will respect you and take care of you,’ and others are making it to where we cannot exist in those borders safely.”

The panelists also discussed how legislation targeting transgender people ties into our democracy.

“When we take away people’s rights, that’s not democracy, and that’s what we’re seeing with all these bills taking away people’s rights,” Titone said. “It’s taking them to second-class citizenship, it’s taking away healthcare, it’s taking away their ability to be

themselves. That is the antithesis of democracy. Democracy is inclusion.

Democracy is you all having a right to vote.”

The importance of joy in fighting back against anti-trans legislation around the country was also highlighted in the discussion.

“Joy is what gives us the strength to fight; joy is what we run on,” Reed said. “Joy is how we know that it’s worth getting up there and fighting.

If we didn’t have joy, we would have given up a long time ago. We would have given up in the 30s, we would have given up in the 50s, we would have given up during the gay marriage fights. It is because of the joy that the community collectively experiences that we are still standing, and I think that’s important.”

As part of CSU’s Symposium for Inclusive Excellence, the panel served as both an educational opportunity for the community and a reminder of people’s power within democracy.

“A lot of students can get overwhelmed, and I think people in general can get overwhelmed because of the targeted hate on the

LGBT community,” Assistant Vice President for Inclusive Excellence Ria Vigil said. “But this, to me, was a really great reminder that we can do things. We can get involved; we can make a difference if we start today and we look at where we are and the influence that we can have from our own positionality.”

Brianna Titone discusses what she is doing to help the trans community at the transgender panel Oct. 25. “It’s not the sound of my voice that matters, it’s the words that come out of it,” Titone said as she explained her tough decision of whether to work on voice therapy or run for office.

COVER STORY

Introducing brewing sciences: Crafting the perfect pint

PHOTO COURTESY OF JEFF BIEGERT

By Lizzy Rylance @csucollegian

Beer is a big deal in Fort Collins.

There are over 20 breweries ranging from small, independent craft establishments to major players like New Belgium Brewing, the fourth largest craft brewery in the country.

But what goes on behind the scenes of making great beer?

Colorado State University has a degree program dedicated to this question. Students and faculty in the fermentation science and technology program spend their days learning the science of brewing as well as food fermentation. There is a lot more science involved than you might think.

Charlie Hoxmeier is an assistant professor in the department of food science and human nutrition and the coowner of Gilded Goat Brewing Company, which has two locations — one in Midtown next to Trader Joe’s on College Avenue and the other in Old Town.

Hoxmeier began homebrewing during graduate school as a break from studying for his Ph.D. in microbiology at CSU.

He now applies his science background on a regular basis as he brews for Gilded Goat and teaches classes for the FST program.

“I think for some people, there’s a perception that it’s just all of us sitting around and drinking beer and talking about beer,” Hoxmeier said. “But no, there’s a lot of science that’s involved with the process.”

At the most basic level, brewing requires only four main ingredients: water, hops, malt and yeast. This last ingredient, yeast, is key to the fermentation process. This is because yeast is a living microorganism that feeds on sugar and produces alcohol as a byproduct.

More complex beer can incorporate bacteria like probiotics, which are found in yogurt, to bring out certain flavors. Working with living organisms can be challenging, especially when trying to create a consistent, safe product.

Even small changes in the balance of these ingredients and brewing conditions can create incredible variation in flavor profiles. Brewers tightly control variables like temperature, pH levels and fermentation time to bring their visions to life. This is why a background in science can be a

powerful asset; it offers brewers a deeper understanding of the process, allowing them to master the craft.

“Brewing is a bit of art and science,” said Jeff Biegert, New Belgium Brewing-sponsored instructor and brewmaster in the FST program. “We teach primarily the science here. It’s hard to teach the art part, but that kind of comes with time and experience.”

Students in the FST program are required to take courses in chemistry, microbiology and mathematics to prepare for careers in the brewing industry. They study every step of the brewing process in detail, learning how to design complex recipes from scratch.

Craft brewing is only one of many possible paths for students of the FST program. Maggie Fischer graduated from the FST program in 2021 and now works as a senior specialist at Molson Coors Beverage Company in Golden, Colorado. She initially joined the program because she wanted a change of pace from attending pharmacy school.

“It seemed like something interesting, new and challenging since the beer industry is moving forward to be more science-based,” Fischer said. While completing

her capstone research project, she said she realized she enjoyed the atmosphere of working in a largescale beer production facility.

“I liked the fast-paced environment, the problem-solving and troubleshooting,” Fischer said.

“You meet a lot of different types of people. Not everybody comes from a brewing background, but we’re all here for the same goal.”

For Biegert, part of the excitement of brewing comes from its dynamic nature. Although the basic steps are simple and have been practiced by humans for thousands of years, modern brewing is a fast-paced amalgamation of ever-evolving technology and consumer preferences.

“I realized I could spend my entire career and lifetime learning about it, and I still wouldn’t know everything,” Biegert said.

“It’s really a labor of love,” Hoxmeier said. “Brewers get into the industry because they love the science and the artistry behind it.

You don’t open up a brewery to get rich — it’s a lot of hard work. … So you really have to love what you do.”

PUBLIC COMMUNICATION

Why is there so much science misinformation?

By Hana Pavelko @csucollegian

In a world that is constantly changing, the distribution of information is vital. As more is discovered, it is crucial that people are supplied with the newest and most accurate knowledge available. However, what happens if this information is wrong?

In the world of science, factual inaccuracies are bound to happen as various data is collected by different sources. Despite this, it remains important that corrections are presented to the public as soon as possible.

False information and misinformation can contribute uninformed decision-making, which can lead to serious mistrust between scientists and the public.

Nicole Kelp, an assistant professor for the department of microbiology, immunology and pathology at Colorado State University, does a lot of work surrounding science communication.

“Over time, people’s trust in scientists has gone down a little bit — if you look at before COVID to now — but not significantly,” Kelp said. “It’s hard when (science communication) is nameless, faceless.”

It can be a challenge for scientists to explain their data and results in a way that is comprehensible to the general public. While scientists want to present the information

accurately, they also want to present it in a way that is easy for people with minimal scientific knowledge to understand; it takes more than a dumb-it-down approach. It is also hard to expect people to blindly trust scientists and their results.

In the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, the rapid spread of the disease as well as the severity of the infection ignited panic.

It was crucial to vaccinate as many people as possible and as quickly as possible.

The urgency and rapid production of the vaccine caused a lot of misinformation to spread to the public. A lack of good science communication during this time period resulted in a large degree of mistrust.

All experiences and fears are valid when it comes to science and our bodies. However, it is of the utmost importance that scientists and the public work together toward the common goal of understanding accurate, crucial information.

Communication to the public is not the only concern when it comes to science communication. Communication between scientific disciplines is of equal importance.

Scientific discoveries result from collaboration between people with different areas of expertise. No one person can be an expert on everything needed to solve a problem.

“We need to collaborate to solve tricky problems,” Kelp said. “Whether it’s climate change or antibiotic resistance, … none of

GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION BY TRIN BONNER THE COLLEGIAN

these will be solved by one person or one discipline or one perspective.”

Scientific communication is important in many aspects of the world, whether it be between two scientists or a scientist and the public. But how is science misinformation prevented?

“One, build relationships with people,” Kelp said. “Second thing I would say is making sure we’re honest about our science.”

Science is a subject that will always have uncertainty. As experiments and technology

evolve, data and results can change. Having all the answers is virtually impossible. If the public believes science has all the information when it truly doesn’t, there is only going to be more mistrust of the scientific community and an increase in uninformed decisions.

However, scientists cannot combat misinformation alone; the public must meet them halfway. There must not only be a willingness to teach but also a willingness to learn.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES

Men’s basketball begins quest back to NCAA tournament

By Luke Hojnowski @lukehojo

Rams basketball is back, and with a new season comes new hope. For the Rams, the hope lies in the hands of Mountain West Preseason Player of the Year: Isaiah Stevens.

Stevens is coming off the best statistical season of his career, averaging 17.9 points per game and ranking fourth in the nation in assists per game at 6.7.

Entering his fifth year ranked 46th in the NCAA top 100 players, Stevens’ confidence is skyrocketing as he looks to monopolize the Mountain West and lead the Rams to a bounce-back season.

“The main thing is to be present in the moment,” Stevens said. “We have a lot of good new pieces as well as some really good returners.

A lot of us are ready to compete with a chip on our shoulder but also understanding that it’s only one game at a time. You can’t fast forward to March and try to hurry up and get there, so you have to do

the work now in each and every step of the way.”

Sparking team dynamics and adding versatility to the roster, Ram Country welcomes a new batch of talent with key transfers and incoming first-years heading into the 2023-24 season.

Former Division II Conference Commissioners Association National Player of the Year Joel Scott will suit up for the Rams after finishing out his previous year dominating as a forward at Black Hills State University. The Colorado native from Monument, Colorado, is finally returning home to play with the Rams for his last year of eligibility.

“I played a lot of collegiate basketball games, and I know it’s a different level, but it’s still basketball at the end of the day,” Scott said.

“Bring a little bit of toughness, a little bit of grit and hopefully some leadership too coming up here being an older guy.”

Coloradans seem to always find their way back home, including Colorado Springs natives Javonte

Johnson and Nique Clifford, who both add height and versatility to the new roster.

These two transfers go way back to elementary school. Johnson spent his previous three years at New Mexico, and his 6-foot-6-inch build will add a critical role in 3-point shooting for this team.

Also a 6-foot-6-inch guard, Clifford adds value with his playmaking ability after spending three years at Colorado averaging 5.4 points per game, 3.6 assists and a 33.8% 3-point shooting percentage.

The Rams are also fortunate enough to bring in quality first-year players with impressive resumes — former Missouri Gatorade Player of the Year Kyan Evans and Austrian Rashaan Mbemba.

Mbemba previously played basketball in the Austrian league for SKN St. Pölten before coming to CSU. “I’m actually playing against people that are my age because I played in a pro league, so I always had to face up against people who are like 30 to 32, people who came

out of college,” Mbemba said. “So now I’m kind of like new to the game, but for me, it’s like I’m a freshman in U.S. basketball style, so that’s a big difference for me.”

Mbemba’s power and authority in the paint will allow the Rams to gain traction for this season and in the future, especially with his professional basketball experience.

Despite the excitement from the first-years and transfers, the Rams have multiple returning stars who will continue their dominance on the court and help lead this squad to a successful season.

Coach Niko Medved and the Rams finished with a 15-18

record last season, but with the recruitment this offseason, there is an opportunity for the Rams to bounce back stronger.

“First thing is to get ready for Louisiana Tech — put together a game plan and go out there and play together and play toughminded,” Medved said. “Whatever the result is, you accept it. If you win, you celebrate for a day, then you move on to the next one. If it doesn’t go your way, it stinks, you go home and learn from it and find a way to get better.”

BORDER WAR

How Rams football can get back Bronze Boot

By Damon Cook @dwcook2001

The Bronze Boot. The Run. The Rivalry.

All of the traditions, all of the theatrics, all for a chance at glory — with an opportunity to be cemented into history — it all goes down against Wyoming under the Friday night lights for the annual Border War. “(The) University of Wyoming

has our full attention now,” coach Jay Norvell said. “We have a challenging Border War game Friday night.”

Offense

Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi struggled with turnovers early but has been disciplined with the ball recently.

Throwing just one interception in the previous three weeks, the gunslinger seems just about ready to break out.

If a breakout is to happen, it probably has to happen with Tory Horton on the field. Horton was

on and off the field against Air Force before finally being knocked out for the rest of the game in the third quarter. Horton’s status is still unsure for Friday’s game.

If Horton is unable to go, it will likely be Dallin Holker who steps into the main receiving role. He is currently in the running for the John Mackey Award and would be the second Mackey winner for Colorado State University in the past three years.

While the passing game has been lethal for most of the season, the running game is starting to gain some traction with Vann Schield behind the line. Averaging nearly 5 yards per carry, Schield has been good for the Rams’ running game, which has dealt with a lot of injuries this season.

“We would like to have some punch in our running game, and it really compliments what we do passing-wise,” Norvell said.

“Vann has been really good. I’m really proud of Vann — he’s done everything we’ve asked him to do.”

Watch: The O-line

COLLEGIAN FILE PHOTO

The CSU offensive line has been much improved this season, and it will be crucial that Fowler-Nicolosi

has a clean pocket if the Rams want to return home with the boot.

“We have our own communication, we understand each other’s tendencies,” Jacob Gardner said. “There’s always going to be work to do, but it’s nice just having the same five guys up there.”

Defense

The defense has been the story for the Rams this season. They have forced 15 turnovers so far this season — the same number of turnovers they had all of last season.

“We just talk about it all the time,” Henry Blackburn said. “We watch the cut up on Fridays before the game of takeaways in the league (and) takeaways in the conference, and we just put it on our minds. … We continue to talk about it, punching at the ball, going and attacking the ball when it’s in the air.

And it’s starting to show up — we’ve got really good players on defense too. It’s nice having a D-line that does what they do because they cause a lot of takeaways for our defense.”

One thing Wyoming does really well is not turn the ball over. Andrew Peasley has been efficient for the Cowboys, only throwing three interceptions to his 13 touchdowns.

Not only has Peasley done it through the air, but he’s gotten it done on the ground as well.

However, one of the strengths of the Rams defense has been their ability to stop the quarterback run.

“Our defense has really done a good job of adjusting to the different styles of offenses that we’ve seen,” Norvell said. “We’ve played against this quarterback before, so we’re familiar with him, and we know he’s dangerous throwing and running.”

Watch: The turnover battle

One of the keys for the Rams on Friday against Wyoming will be the turnover battle. Both sides of the ball have done their jobs the past couple of weeks, and it will be crucial that they continue to do so in the Border War. “This is the type of games we love — this is Colorado State, that’s what we do,” Blackburn said.

“We play tough-ass football. ... We pride ourselves on being a toughass team, and that’s what we want to do. These are the type of games that we love; these are the types of games we play for.”

TECHNOLOGY

Is the new iOS NameDrop feature really that safe?

GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION BY MADELYN HENDRICKS THE COLLEGIAN

By Dominique Lopez @caffeinateddee6

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.

New technological advancements are being made every day, but whether they are necessary or unnecessary is truly up to you. One of the newest advancements catching eyes everywhere is the newest iOS 17 feature: NameDrop.

If you avoid updating your phone until the absolute last moment or you simply don’t have an iPhone, the concept of NameDrop is similar to AirDrop: You can hold your phone close to another person’s and share contact information with just a few taps. However, the main concern women have with the new NameDrop feature is that it is much more difficult to reject sharing contact information with someone they do not know or trust.

As a woman, I totally understand the potential of these dangers, especially if

you have to take the time to Google how to turn it off before you go out. What makes this technology so scary is that your contact information can’t be shared without consent from both people and both phones being unlocked.

The concept of NameDrop takes me back to high school, when AirDropping something to every single person possible was fun. I was one of the people who didn’t realize it was possible to AirDrop things until I turned my sharing to contacts only. But even after I made that choice, I felt like I was missing out on all the fun. This seems similar to what could happen with NameDrop because, despite the fact that two phones have to be close to one another to work, what’s to say someone who gave me an excuse to unlock my phone wouldn’t be able to take my information easily because I forgot to turn off the NameDrop feature?

This is something that, according to Cosmopolitan, shouldn’t be an issue, but I can’t help but wonder if it still would be. This innovative feature has successfully created a new way for people to easily obtain information that we otherwise might not

want to be shared. It also creates an awkward situation wherein women are forced to make the decision of whether they should share their information with someone they just met while in front of them.

In terms of safety, this feature could use some rethinking. With just a phone number, someone could gain access to the location of your phone, which opens up the possibility of being stalked or worse. NameDrop having the ability to accidentally share personal contact information might have been something Apple didn’t foresee as being an issue; however, it is still something that can happen, which means this new feature puts everyone with an iPhone at risk.

NameDrop was a good idea in theory — it gives Apple users the opportunity to effortlessly share contact information with one another. And because it is so similar to AirDrop, Apple may have thought NameDrop would be the next best step. But truthfully, I still have more questions about why this was developed and how they plan on keeping our information safe.

It’s time for CSU students to start supporting all teams

Over the duration of the academic year, we have watched as crowds swarm Canvas Stadium and Moby Arena to watch the football and volleyball teams fight their way to victory. Crowds have gathered to watch the women’s soccer team score a last-minute

goal. Colorado State University students show tremendous support to intercollegiate sports teams, but what about the other teams?

CSU currently has over 30 club sports teams, most of which are student-led. The teams consist of popular sports such as soccer, baseball and basketball but also some unconventional sports, including esports and logging.

These sports aren’t normally on every student’s radar, but the students who participate in the club have a passion for it. While some sports are competitive and include a tryout process,

others, like the rodeo club, are open to those who have never competed before.

The club sports at CSU are incredibly successful. The baseball team has won six national championships, and the co-ed tennis team has competed in the last four national championships. However, even with all their achievements, they do not get a lot of recognition on campus. With all eyes fixed on the football and volleyball teams, it is easy to overlook the club sports that CSU has to offer.

Club sports at CSU are mostly self-sufficient. The women’s club soccer team relies on their own fundraising efforts to be able to travel to tournaments, including nationals. The team is student-led by passionate players who want to continue playing the sport they love.

Unfortunately, these club sports are often overshadowed by their intercollegiate counterparts.

But with their self-reliance, incredible records and passion, CSU should show them more support. Faculty, students, alumni

and the Fort Collins community don their CSU gear and cheer for the football team, but more should be done to support the club sports teams.

These players work just as hard as those who participate at the NCAA level. The students who play club sports for CSU dedicate themselves to their sport, playing for the love of the game. These clubs host practices, play games and participate in tournaments.

Playing a sport at any level consumes a lot of time, and the participants of these clubs dedicate a large portion of their time to their sports. For all the work they put in, they deserve recognition as well.

It’s also not just the club sports that deserve more recognition at CSU. The student recreation center allows intramural sports teams to compete against each other. With over 30,000 intramural participants annually, these teams allow students of all skill levels to participate. With low stakes, intramurals focus more on the fun than the winning.

However, winners do get a pretty sweet “IM Champ” shirt to wear around campus to show off their win.

Students can compete in teams for sports such as basketball or dodgeball, or they can even individually participate in events such as table tennis and esports.

CSU tries to make these sports accessible to different experience levels, but with its accessibility and easygoing nature, intramural sports need more support, too.

They allow for a fun outlet that students can participate in during the year.

CSU has more to offer than just the intercollegiate teams in terms of sports. With their passion and their dedication, they deserve much more attention from the student body. So go out and support CSU sports teams — whether they’re playing in Canvas Stadium or on the intramural fields.

The brighter side of having to set back your clock saving time, I have to admit I like it better in the dark.

One of the most common reasons people hate winter is because the sun sets early.

With less sunlight, people lose motivation, vitamin D and maybe even the will to live. I won’t negate the fact that these are real phenomena, but I feel like we as a society are so quick to latch onto the negatives about less daytime that we don’t appreciate several blessings that also come with it. So consider the following ideas before you are so quick to groan at having to set back your clock.

Each year, there is a collective groan as most of America begrudgingly sets their clocks back in November — myself and my family included. From thereafter, many who commute to and from school or work will be in pitch-black monotony. Although I don’t agree with the logistics behind daylight

For most of the year, merely witnessing the sun peek over the horizon means waking up at the buttcrack of dawn. I don’t do that, and I’m sure a good portion of anyone with sanity and the means to sleep in also refuses to wake at 5:30 a.m. But during these months when the sun doesn’t rise until 7 a.m., our commutes are painted with a backdrop of stars, morning golds

and pinks. The beauty makes cold mornings much less bleak.

A better start

A later sunrise is also twofold: Besides witnessing this gorgeous display, one can now sleep in without being woken up before their alarm. The sun has countlessly flashbanged my opening eyes for the past several months, only for me to realize that my alarm isn’t set to go off for another 45 minutes. With the sun rising later, morning riseand-shines will have less shine, so you can actually rise.

Holiday season

I don’t know if I’m the only one who uses this logic, but in my mind, the minute America switches to daylight saving time, it is the holiday season. The start of November — and subsequently the sun setting earlier — signals Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day and more. I associate darker skies and shorter days with snow and festivity.

Exponential coziness increase This wintertime festivity also carries over into more coziness.

When it’s dark around 5 p.m., there’s nothing I’d rather do than cozy up with a good book beside the fireplace, light a candle, grab a blanket and waste the evening away. I recognize that this is dangerous for productivity, but it also stops the winter gloominess from creeping in. Everyone deserves to indulge themself once in a while.

When temperatures drop, the Colorado snow will begin to fall relentlessly. So as we set our clocks back these upcoming weeks, winter frustration and an eagerness for winter break may overtake Colorado State University and its students. But reframing less daylight with a positive mindset is good for all of us.

MOVIE REVIEW

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ draws attention in 1st weekend

By Hailee Stegall @stegallbagel

Martin Scorsese’s latest flick “Killers of the Flower Moon,” starring Lily Gladstone and Leonardo DiCaprio, has been making headlines since its release Friday, Oct. 20. The film was Scorsese’s third biggest opening weekend ever, following only “Shutter Island” (2010) and “The Departed” (2006).

“Killers of the Flower Moon,” based on the 2017 nonfiction book of the same name written by David Grann, the revisionist Western made $44 million at the box office worldwide on opening weekend and $23 million in the United States alone.

The film tells the story of several murders of Indigenous people in Osage County, Oklahoma, during the ‘20s as well as the dichotomy between the white people and the Osage people and the tension that a unique financial imbalance between the two can cause.

Ernest Burkhart (DiCaprio) is the simple veteran nephew of William Hale (Robert De Niro), a

white rancher on the Osage Nation reservation in Oklahoma. The reservation is filthy rich with oil money, making the Osage people the wealthiest people in the country per capita.

Upon his return to America after World War I, Ernest meets Mollie Burkhart (Gladstone), an Osage woman whose family’s oil rights are coveted by Hale and others like him.

At the same time as they’re falling in love, Osage people are being murdered for their oil deeds right and left, and it starts getting a little too close to home.

Chock-full of cameos sprinkled among a wildly talented, largely Indigenous cast, the way the story unravels is gripping and will keep you glued to your seat for the hallmark Scorsese run time.

Casting Indigenous people in Indigenous roles is something Hollywood has only just begun doing in earnest. Infamously, Taylor Lautner’s presence as a white man playing an Indigenous role in the “Twilight” franchise comes to mind. But “Killers of the Flower Moon” has thorough Indigenous casting through Gladstone as

Mollie, Tantoo Cardinal as Lizzie, Cara Jade Myers as Anna, Jillian Dion as Minnie, Janae Collins as Reta and several others all from Indigenous nations.

However, the film has drawn controversy for the portrayal of Indigenous people in general. Firstly, the violence against Indigenous people is graphic and shocking in a way that leaves the viewer rattled — and it’s plentiful to the point of being inarguably heavy-handed.

One might find themself debating whether it’s a necessary addition to the film or if this deeply real issue could have been shown with more grace. It’s pertinent in this situation to defer to Indigenous voices on the matter.

K. Devery Jacobs, an Indigenous actress best known for her role in the Hulu show “Reservation Dogs,” said, “I don’t feel that these very real people were shown honor or dignity in the horrific portrayal of

their deaths.” She also replied to the writing of these characters as “helpless” against the white men and at their whim entirely, without any means to push back.

Though, one thing about the film that is widely agreed upon is that Gladstone absolutely rules the screen. She performs in a way that leaves the viewer feeling the emotions of the scene heavy in their chest. Even down to microexpressions, Gladstone is the

standout point of this film by a long shot. Part of the Piegan Blackfeet and Nez Perce nations in Montana, she is expected to sweep the next awards season.

“Killers of the Flower Moon” is currently enjoying a wide release in theaters to qualify it for awards but will likely be available to stream on Apple TV+ by early December.

EXHIBITION UPDATE

Sideshow Gallery showcases student work

The Curfman Gallery is expanding in the Lory Student Center Oct. 25. The expansion is occuring from Sept. 16 to Oct. 1, Nov. 4-17 and Dec. 16 to Jan. 16, 2024. PHOTO BY PAIGE MOLENKAMP THE COLLEGIAN

By Gwendolynn Riddoch @csucollegian

Tucked in the corner behind Intermissions Coffee and across

from the existing Curfman Gallery is a new space for displaying works of art. The Lory Student Center Arts Program recently opened the Sideshow Gallery, which will replace the Hatton Gallery

— often referred to as the Hallery — in the LSC. This new space is filled with natural light that will allow student artwork to shine.

“Student artists at this stage in their career know where they want to be; they know where they are, and I think knowing where they want to be and where they are and seeing that gap in between makes them a little hesitant to show their artwork,” LSC Arts Program Manager Doug Sink said.

Sink got his MFA at Colorado State University in sculpture, which gives him the ability to relate to young CSU artists.

“I also think showing their artwork is really important for their development as artists,” Sink said. “We really want to encourage them by creating a space that has some prestige to it and lets them see how important their artwork is.”

Sink has been working full time with the LSC Arts Program since 2010.

“We have a collection of about 350 pieces of art in the building that we manage,” Sink said. “We run six exhibitions a year in the Curfman Gallery and two in the up in the Duhesa Gallery.”

Sink went on to talk about how they needed a space with more foot traffic in order for students’ art to get noticed. Because the Sideshow Gallery space has always been an overflow area for the Curfman, the pieces all fell into place.

“Let’s bring it some prestige so that it is near one of our premier gallery spaces and seen in a really positive way but also try not to make it elitist in a way that turns people off,” Sink said.

The Sideshow Gallery is that middle ground.

Sink mentioned the rarity of vandalism or art not being treated well in the Hallery.

“I am not concerned that any of those same (vandalism) issues will be present up here,” Sink said.

The Sideshow can also be seen from the Curfman Gallery, where the LSC Arts Program always has a docent watching.

The current Sideshow Gallery exhibit is the Student Fibers Showcase. This is the debut show for the gallery. The walls are lined with fiber students’ artwork, and it is curated by Miles Buchan.

The Assistant Manager of the LSC Arts Program, Claudia Bokulich, started in 2022 and

helped come up with ideas for the Sideshow Gallery late last spring semester. The Gallery is a fully student-run space. From the artwork to the curation, it is made for students, by students.

“The Hallery was just a hallway, and this is a nice size, and that seems more legitimate,” Bokulich said. Claire Havenhill, a docent and installer at the LSC Arts Program, has some work included in the Student Fibers Showcase, which is her primary medium.

“The Sideshow Gallery is always open whenever the building is open,” Havenhill said. “You can do homework, grab a coffee, sit in there and look at some art.”

Havenhill also explained that artists don’t have to be in the art department to submit things for the gallery; it is open to anyone willing to display their creations.

Those interested in submitting work for the Sideshow Gallery can send an email with images to lsc_artsprogram@ colostate.edu.

MUSIC REVIEW

‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ brings timeless updates to Swift’s 1st pop album

By Allie Seibel @allie_seibel_

Taylor Swift released “1989” in 2014. A magical shift into the world of pop after being almost exclusively a country artist, “1989” remains Swift’s most acclaimed, beloved, recognized and timeless album.

When “1989” was released, it was met with critical acclaim. The New York Times praised Swift’s timeless songwriting. That nowfamous review seems indicative of the power of Swift’s near-perfect pop album. “1989” went on to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year and a slew of other awards in 2014.

When “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” was announced at the singer’s Aug. 9 Eras Tour stop in Los Angeles (a playful announcement date, as the numerical month and day formed 8/9), demand and enthusiasm for the album hit an almost fever pitch among fans.

The “1989” era is traditionally symbolized by Swift living in New York City as a young woman in her 20s — more focused on female friendships than dating after a slew of media attention on her romantic life — a free-spirited girl soaking up the adventure of the big city with short hair, cherry-red lipstick and sunglasses.

The rebrand for Taylor’s Version includes reshaping the aesthetic to focus more on a beach vibe than a city one. The album cover features Swift grinning in the distance, the seagulls that had been on her sweatshirt in the original cover flying free behind her.

While the original Polaroid cover almost felt trapped and highly structured, the Taylor’s Version cover flies free.

Three other vinyl and CD variants arrived, all with the same tracks: 16 songs and five songs from her vault. A digital deluxe version with “Bad Blood feat. Kendrick Lamar” was announced Oct. 27, and a Target exclusive features “Sweeter Than Fiction,” a song Swift recorded for the film “One Chance.”

Produced almost exclusively by longtime musical partner Jack Antonoff, the updated production of “1989” is similar to that of Swift’s “Midnights.”

“Welcome to New York” takes on a more electro-pop production, synth and layered vocals blending in harmony. “Blank Space” immediately echos the

key change for Swift’s high note after the bridge.

“All You Had to Do Was Stay” and “I Wish You Would” remain almost identical, with subtle vocal overlapping differences.

“Shake It Off,” the biggest hit off of “1989,” retains its message about self-positivity with gentler vocals and an enhanced bridge. It

“I Know Places,” “How You Get the Girl” and “Wonderland” are just as fun as ever, with richer music and more of Swift’s comfortable vocals.

On “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” the vocals all feel comfortable, the natural extensions of Swift’s range.

“You Are in Love” and “Clean” remain the emotional standouts of the album, bringing the same

exact production and vocals played at the Eras Tour, which seems like a deliberate choice by Swift, who is adamant about owning her own music.

“Style” adapts a new electric guitar riff, enhanced by the electric sound and synth. “Out of the Woods” is elevated to an ethereal space, with echoing instrumentals and a nice

feels like a new version of the song for the next generation.

“Bad Blood” has the most tonal shift: Instead of being singularly angry, it takes on a haunting swirl of emotions and a blurred background production that feels like a cousin to Swift’s other revenge tracks, layered with other emotions than simple anger.

passion and emotion to their respective tracks as in the original album. Except this time, it feels like Swift really is clean and has learned how to put love into words. Like all the other rerecords, the maturity benefits these songs.

The only rerecording that seems to not be on par with the others is closing track “New Romantics,” where the

production just seems to overwhelm the song.

When Swift announced the rerecording on her social media, she said that this rerecording was her favorite because “the five vault songs are insane.” Little did fans know, “insane” would refer to the amount of jaw-dropping lyrical prowess they possess.

Out of the five vault songs, “Slut!” was possibly the most anticipated.

Tonally, “Slut!” takes a completely different path than most fans expected.

Instead of being about societal norms, Swift crafted a gorgeous love song about falling in love quickly with someone desirable and rejecting people’s opinions for love.

“Say Don’t Go” is possibly the most emotional vault song, with lyrics about betrayal, regret and confusion hidden beneath the catchy backing track.

“Now That We Don’t Talk,” Swift’s shortest-ever track, doesn’t feel too short and instead disguises heartbreak in a synth pop track.

“Suburban Legends” calls back to Swift’s days as a teenager in rural Pennsylvania, hoping to both make it big and make it with someone. It’s another example of her storytelling lyrics — fun and bright.

Closing track “Is It Over Now?” features some of the most impressive lyrical phrases and quick witty turns on Swift’s discography. Like the other vault tracks, it hides deep messages and a story of dual infidelity in a catchy pop tune.

There is no standout track from the vault because they are all different and at such a high level lyrically.

The entirety of “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” is the perfect remake of the pop classic, revisiting some of Swift’s biggest career hits while still bringing a modern spin. With a hint of Swift’s signature sass and timeless appeal, “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” proves to be possibly the most seamless rerecording yet.
