Village Vidiot to close after more than 25 years in Fort Collins

By Stwart Smith @notstuartsmith

After more than 25 years in the city, Fort Collins’ last independent video store is closing.

The beginning of the end for the the Village Vidiot started when construction of the new West Elizabeth underpass started in August.

Last semester, during the heart of construction, Vidiot owner Scott Shepherd set up a campaign to keep the store in business through the closure of

the intersection at West Elizabeth Street and College Avenue.

Though the Vidiot was able to raise enough money to survive, it was during that time that the Vidiot’s building got a new landlord.

The new landlord, Shepherd said, bought the building that houses the Vidiot and other businesses like Butters AM Eatery and Panhandler’s Pizza.

According to Shepherd, the new landlord will be demolishing the building, along with St. John’s Episcopal Church next to

the Vidiot, to build a new six-story, 400-bed apartment building and a parking lot.

Check out the video at collegian.com During this time, Shepherd tried to negotiate with the new landlord, but it was futile.

Once he was given a suitable offer to get him out of his lease in

the building, Shepherd looked around town for a new location for the Vidiot, but he ran into problems with that, too.

“You can’t just go on Mulberry, you can’t just hit Harmony,” Shepherd said. “You have to go somewhere where (students) will come and see it, and where my existing clientele can see it.

We tried a few places that were local ... (and) it just didn’t work out.” see Village Vidiot on page 4 >>

This week’s senate session of the Associated Students of Colorado State University was canceled, citing a need to meet with faculty advisors over the steps in the impeachment process, as well as factors beyond the student government’s control.

During last week’s senate session, Senator Cerridwyn Nordstrom brought forth an impeachment petition against ASCSU President Josh Silva. The petition stated that Silva was in violation of Section 801 of the ASCSU Constitution and Article I, Section D, Part 6 of the ASCSU Code of Ethics.

According to Deputy Chief of Staff Baylee Lakey and Speaker of the Senate Isabel Brown, “due to circumstances beyond ASCSU’s control, we will not have a senate session (Wednesday).” Both Lakey and Brown could not comment further.

According to Brown, the impeachment petition is pending finalization. According to ASCSU’s impeachment procedures, the author of the impeachment petition has one week to make any additions, changes or retract the charges.

Senators may also add additional signatures or retract them.

In order for the petition to proceed, 20 percent of all senators must sign the petition. The petition had 13 signatures as of last week, or 26 percent of the student government.

If the petition is accepted, a five-person impeachment committee will be formed out of members from every branch of the student government. As soon as the committee is ratified by see ASCSU on page 4 >>

Associate Dean for Research steps down after 12 years

By Austin Fleskes @austinfleskes07

For the first time in over 12 years, the title of Associate Dean for Research for the College of Natural Sciences is being passed on from one professor to another.

Since late 2004, the position has been held by James Sites, a professor in the college of physics at Colorado State University, according to a release from the College of Natural Sciences.

The part time position that Sites held has a number of different duties, such as looking at submitted proposals and other logistics, which he called nuts and bolts. Sites also worked with other associate deans and faculty members, especially those who felt stuck with different research issues, such as funding.

Sites served for two fiveyear terms as the Associate Dean for Research. Sites served an extra two and a half years due to administrative change at the end of his first term, resulting in his second term being delayed

officially.

While Sites is leaving, he still plans to maintain his research programs as well as his position as a professor at CSU. Sites’ main ongoing research program revolves around solar panels; mainly how to work with them to make them better without costing more.

Reynolds’ overall goal is to think of how research opportunities for faculty and students can continue to be available.

“It’s kind of a natural state of affairs,” Sites said. “When one is finished with something which (one) has spent a fair amount of energy there is a little bit of relief.”

Sites, along with others, has been working very closely with Melissa Reynolds, who will be taking up the position that Sites is leaving.

Reynolds arrived at CSU in 2009, where she was

hired as faculty member in the Chemistry department, doing research related to biomaterials. She also has taught courses in chemistry and biomedical engineering at CSU. The college began an internal search for someone to fill the position once it was known that Sites would step down. Reynolds heard about the position, applied, interviewed and was then given the title of Associate Dean for Research.

“I saw this as a really unique opportunity to expand out a little more,” Reynolds said.

In her position, Reynolds’ overall goal is to think of how research opportunities for faculty and students can continue to be available.

“One of the great parts about CSU is there are lots of opportunities for students to be involved in that cutting edge research,” Reynolds said, adding that her biggest role is to see how CSU can continue to support those people making those great discoveries. “If people have ideas, bring them on. Let’s make this work for all of us.”

Reynolds said she hopes to keep things moving in the program, as well as thinking about the best uses of resources and people in order to make things move forward in different research programs. One such program is the sustainability effort at CSU, which she wants to make sure there is continued support for.

“In my life, I’ve always had this philosophy that you should

do what you love. While people say that all of the time, I think sometimes we have to always reflect back and say, ‘How can I do things that much better?’”

Reynolds said. “I’m very excited about the opportunity to think with faculty and the college on how we can continue to be the best.”

Panel of CSU faculty to discuss intersectional feminism

By Piper Davis @piperldavis

A monthly series hosted by the Diversity Committee within the School of Social Work will take place on Monday to discuss intersectional feminism in today’s climate.

Dialogues Around Difference is a monthly event focusing on topics of social justice and inclusion. The event will include a panel discussion followed by questions and an interactive dialogue with panel members.

The panel discussion will feature staff members of Colorado State University who have experience with intersectional feminism, including: “The Dialogue series continues to be an important part of my own education,” Yuma said. “It has been exceedingly useful as a teaching opportunity for my class on human behavior in the social environment.”

According to Yuma, the Diversity and Human Rights Committee at the School of Social Work organized the series in 2015 and continued to hold the event every month throughout the school year.

“The leadership of CSU made it clear that our campus needed to take seriously the work of social justice and inclusion,” Yuma said. “To

respond to their call, we realized we needed more skills and education in order to go about the work of changing our campus and ourselves.”

The Committee conducted a survey asking what topics should be discussed and how they should be discussed. With a response from two-thirds of the student body, the results indicated that students would prefer discussions based on current, relevant topics.

PANEL PARTICIPATORS ■ Angelica Murray

The Women and Gender Advocacy Center ■ Charlotte Salinas The office of Orientation and Transition Programs ■ Cori Wong Assistant Professor in the Center for Women’s Studies and Gender Research ■ Jovan Rivera

Founder of the Student Feminist Fight Club ■ Paula Yuma Associate professor for the School of Social Work The upcoming seminar will focus on intersectional feminism, a term coined by law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989.

Intersectional

feminism is founded on the theory that psychical and genetic characteristics, like being a woman, cannot on their own be studied. Rather, it is more important to look at interactions and experiences.

“This semester we have tried to choose topics in current national and international conversations so that our community has an opportunity to engage meaningfully with emerging issues,” Yuma said.

Topics throughout the semester include the complexity of life for immigrants and refugees, the ethics of consumption in a global economy and racism within the criminal justice system.

According to the Committee’s website, their mission statement is to “promotes social justice and social change by engaging scholarship, teaching and community service that seek to understand, celebrate and embrace diversity.”

Yuma believes the expansion of knowledge in diversity, cultural sensitivity, identity and social justice is essential for not only future social workers, but for people within the community as well.

“The series helps our students to discover new areas where they want to do more

research, expand their horizons or even launch their careers,” Yuma said. “The events expose our students, faculty and guests to new points of view, and offer an opportunity for dialogue and connection around topics that may be new or otherwise intimidating.”

The series will be held

the first Monday of every month for the entirety of the academic year and is open to all members of the CSU and Fort Collins community who wish to expand their knowledge of diversity topics.

the senate, an evidence gathering period will start.

The committee has one week to review the evidence during which any ASCSU member may submit evidence.

All evidence is private and any names are redacted from the documents. The defendant is also given time to submit their own evidence.

As soon as the committee receives evidence from both parties, hearings will begin. The committee may ask questions to both sides for as long as necessary. At the conclusion of the hearings, the committee has two weeks to present the evidence to the senate, where the final vote will take place.

A two-thirds majority vote is required to remove the defendant from office.

Brown anticipates that the finalized impeachment petition, detailing any changes to the charges, is due for presentation during next Wednesday’s senate session.

Brown also said that she will be meeting with faculty advisors in order to discuss the next steps in the process.

“We want to make sure we do

everything by the book,” Brown said. “(We are) just making sure we follow procedure.”

During the search for a new place, Shepherd had a revelation about his business. For the past two years, he has been working a number of hours every week that he says is simply not sustainable for him.

“It hit me that I’ve been working 80 hours plus, every week, it’s just me,” he said.

When he realized that, Shepherd decided that he would just close the Village Vidiot for good.

On Aug. 1, nearly four decades after first opening in Kansas in 1978, the Vidiot began liquidation of its inventory, which ended on Labor Day. Officially, the store will close for good on Sept. 25.

Though the store has had all DVDs, Blu-ray’s and other products marked down substantially for weeks, there is still a large amount of inventory.

As of Monday, Shepherd estimated that there were stilll around 23 or 24 thousand titles still in the store, whereas they had originally had more than 40

thousand titles in stock.

When the store finally closes for good, Shepherd plans to continue selling the rest of his inventory through his dining room, the same way the he began back in the seventies.

With all of that in mind, Shepherd says that he is not saddened by the end of the Village Vidiot.

“If I’d been working 40 hours a week, with a partner, like we had done, I’d be upset,” he said.

“Everybody comes in (and says), ‘Oh, I’m so sorry,’ but… I’m good, I’m fine.”

And, after so many years of the business, and having outlasted many other companies and stores that could not compete against the likes of Amazon and Netflix, Shepherd is happy with how successful the business continued, and continues to be, through its end.

Student Rec Center closed on campus game days

By Ty Betts @TyBetts9

If you are looking to do something this Saturday other than join the mass of people watching football, don’t go to the Student Recreation Center – it will be closed.

As of this fall, the student rec center will be unavailable to students during the Saturdays that CSU has football games in the new on-campus stadium.

The decision to close the rec center was made by Judy Muenchow, the executive director of campus recreation, after deliberation with several committees, including the Campus Recreation Department leadership team, the Campus Recreation Student Advisory Board, and colleagues involved in the Stadium Game Day Experience Committee.

“The option to remain open was considered along with closing the Rec Center,” Muenchow wrote in an email to the Collegian. “Ultimately the unknown factors, beyond staffing and access to the Rec Center, swayed the decision to close the Rec Center for the inaugural football season.”

As part of the Stadium Game Day Experience Committee, Muenchow said some of the factors that influenced the decision to close the rec-center

included the number of visitors to the rec-center during last year’s games, risk management requirements and a lack of communication from the Mountain West Conference about dates and times of games in advance.

Employees of Campus Recreation were involved with this decision last year and were given the opportunity to voice their input, according to Muenchow.

Muenchow said the Student Recreation Center is primarily funded through student fees and that there have been a few inquiries about its closure.

However, she said there are still plans to test having it open to students on game days. There are currently plans to keep the reccenter open before the evening game with Boise State on Nov. 11.

“This date provides an opportunity to test opening the Rec Center, assess participation rates, and survey users for input,” Muenchow wrote.

Some students feel inconvenienced by the closed rec center on Saturday. Sophomore business student Max Nichols said he was not pleased when he heard the rec-center would be closed.

“I don’t like it,” Nichols said. “I would normally play basketball on weekends,” Freshman business student

James Gilliam said the closure is not at a time that affects him.

“It’s okay with me because I wouldn’t work out then — I would be doing other things on a Saturday,” Gilliam said.

Other facilities on campus will still be operational. The Lory Student Center can host events in its ballrooms during games but the theater is reserved for the CSU marching band as a place to

warm up, according to Michael Ellis, the executive director of the Lory Studnet Center. Ellis said student clubs and organizations can still use the LSC. “Student organizations, campus departments, and offcampus groups have access to available rooms during gameday weekends,” Ellis said in an email to the Collegian.

While those who wanted to

use the rec center this Saturday may be out of luck, Muenchow said the decision to be closed for all games is not final.

“There is a plan to assess the campus impact from game day operations related to the viability for partially or fully opening the rec center on game days,” Muenchow wrote.

ASCSU is already asserting that students will have digital, and some print, access to the WSJ. To this extent, Josh Silva was in violation of the aforementioned section of the Code of Ethics, which states, “Officials shall make no unauthorized commitments or promises of any kind purporting to bind ASCSU.” Because Silva did not yet have senatorial approval through a Supplementary Funding Bill, he can not rightfully make the claim that the WSJ deal had gone through.

This impeachment is a testament to the all-toocommon murkiness of politics.

The Senate claims one thing, the President claims another, and the people are left to pick a side. Many have begun to believe that no politician can be trusted.

Perhaps this is why ASCSU, a relatively small body, seems to take everything so seriously. These individuals respect the ethics upon which democratic bodies are supposed to be founded.

Not only does ASCSU stress the importance of diversity, inclusivity and egalitarianism,

but it avows “appropriately shared responsibility and joint effort involving the administration, faculty, and students” and “reasoned discussion as the means of solving problems,” according to their constitution.

When Josh Silva entered into discussions with the Wall Street Journal, even though they were mere talks, he was violating certain parameters of the body he represents.

Thus, the grounds for impeachment are valid.

At times, ASCSU may seem to take itself too seriously. But, its members may someday be politicians on a state or national level.

If so, I hope they maintain the same degree of morality and devotion to serving in the public’s interest, even if it means holding impeachment sessions for minor infractions.

In today’s opaque political waters, we need transparency more than ever, and it seems that is what the ASCSU senate is trying to achieve.

Pipeline project threatens environment, involvement crucial Cullen Lobe @CSUCollegian

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.

Pipeline projects, like the Dakota Access Pipeline, greatly threaten climate change, Native American livelihood, treaty rights and Northern America’s pristine watersheds and ecosystems.

Because of the impact this pipeline has on climate change, I urge the Fort Collins community to get involved.

Last week, I returned to Fort Collins after spending three weeks in Northern Minnesota, more specifically White Earth Reservation. I was part of a community that worked together to create a sustainable, indigenoustaught camp called Turtle Island, a self-described water protector camp. Our goal is to be dedicated to values of self-sustainable living, along with restoring cultural knowledge of the indigenous people of that region, who are the Anishinaabe. This specific camp is growing every day, and my time spent there was so profound, enlightening, and productive, that I plan to return there after this semester. Whether it was tending to the garden, building traditional wigwam housing structures, or learning about the wild rice harvesting that is prominent in this part of America, each day there promised a connection with Mother Earth and its inhabitants.

The community at Camp Turtle Island is remanence of the camps at Standing Rock, but on a smaller scale. Not only is this group of people working together day and night to create what they believe will be a better world for all, but everyone there also shares a common dedication: stopping a pipeline. Currently, there are multiple different resistance camps set up across Minnesota, Wisconsin and Canada. This resistance much more than stopping a single pipeline. This is a movement to protect our planet, our mother and everything that is living here. After the federal government and its multiple agencies raided the camps at Standing Rock, they thought it was over. Instead, we spread out across the vast plains and dense forests like stars in the sky. The fight is far from over, and this movement will last forever. At a time when wildfires are raging across the West, our fourth largest city is underwater and now contaminated, and a violent storm

is headed to Florida, the time to act is now. The urgency that is climate change is already hitting home, and ditching fossil fuels could be the quick change we need.

The pipeline at hand is Enbridge’s Line 3. For most of August, I worked closely with members of the Ojibwe tribe and what I learned from them will last me a lifetime. Through all of this, one thing became very clear: This pipeline will cause devastation.

Bill Paulson, the property owner and leader of Camp Turtle Island, hosts a wild rice camp on his property, where an abundance of rice grows around a beautiful lake. On Sept. 1, the wild rice season official started, and Turtle Island hosted the community for an annual feast. Bill took me to Mud Lake, which is about 30 minutes from camp and is notorious for its vast amounts of Wild Rice. Enbridge plans to place Line 3 under this lake, which will not only threaten the water but systematically destroy the rice growing in bountifulness.

I was on site of the current construction happening in Superior, Wis., and what I saw stunned me.

It starts in Alberta, Canada, cuts through Minnesota, and ends in Wisconsin. This project is Enbridge’s largest and most expensive to date and will carry tar sands across North America, and eventually exported out of the country. The impact that tar sand extraction and refinery has on climate change is significantly larger than that of regular crude oil.

“Oil sands crude is significantly more (greenhouse gas) intensive than other crudes, and therefore has potentially large impacts,” wrote EPA’s Cynthia Giles about the State Department’s attempts to assess the full implications of Keystone.

Lifecycle emissions from oil sands crude could be 81 percent greater than the average crude refined in the U.S., a difference that can grow depending on the assumptions made. It’s important to note that this finding was that of the Keystone XL pipeline, which involves the same tar sands extraction as Line 3, but Line 3 will carry 915,000 barrels per day, compared to Keystone’s 830,000 barrels per day.

It is a replacement pipeline of the original line 3, which is quite literally falling apart, but still in operation.

The ‘Stop Line 3’ website states: “It was built with defective steel in l96l, and has had numerous ruptures and continues to degrade.

Instead of cleaning up this liability, Enbridge is proposing to leave it in the ground and build a $7.5 billion

brand new corridor through our watershed and Ojibwe treaty territories.”

They are leaving the current, leaking pipeline in the ground and creating a whole new spot perpendicular to the current pipe.

From Enbridge’s official website, they stated the following about the new Line 3 project, “In the U.S., the replacement pipeline will follow Enbridge’s existing Line 3 route from Joliette, North Dakota to Clearbrook, Minnesota, and then will primarily follow existing pipeline and transmission routes from Clearbrook to Superior, Wisconsin.”

What their description doesn’t mention is that once the pipeline reaches Minnesota, it takes on a completely different route.

Minnesota would be host to 337 miles of the pipeline, compared to only 14 miles in Wisconsin.

Another thing, they don’t yet have the permits for Minnesota.

The final review process for the permits is supposed to take place in April of 2018, yet Enbridge is already preparing by moving pipes around in Minnesota and working in Wisconsin, just feet away from the Minnesota border.

“The pipelines threaten the culture, way of life, and physical survival of the Ojibwe people.

Where there is wild rice, there are Anishinaabeg, and where there are Anishinaabeg, there is wild rice. It is our sacred food. Without it we will die. It’s that simple,” according to

Honor the Earth.

On top of the threat of losing their livelihood from this pipeline, the new route also is an attack on two separate treaties established in the 19th century. The 1837 White Pine Treaty was established in part to protect the livelihood of the Ojibwe tribe for generations to come. “Article 5 granted the signatory Ojibwe bands usufructuaryrightstohunt,fishand gather within the ceded territory.

An Ojibwe chief from Leech Lake known as Eshkibagikoonzhe (Flat Mouth) demanded that his people retain the right to “get their living from the lakes and rivers” because “we cannot live, deprived of our lakes and rivers.” The proposed route will go right through ceded treaty territory.

There are many ways to get

involved with this movement, whether it be at home, or physically involved with the camps and future direct actions. To be a “water protector” can mean many things, and if you were ever interested in defending our planet, now is a perfect time to jump right in. The future needs you.

If you would like to help Camp Turtle Island directly, check out their Facebook page: Camp Turtle Island-MikinaakMinis Genawendang Nibi Endazh Consider donating to them, but also stay up to date with what is happening there. Facebook is a good place to start, as many people on the ground there provide updates daily.

Players and coaches looking Freshmen lead offensive forward to annual Orange Out resurgence for CSU

By Justin Michael @JustinTMichael

When the cannon fires, smoke rises and Colorado State football exits the tunnel onto the field this Saturday, they will step out into a sea of orange. In celebration of the school’s agricultural heritage, CSU will hold its annual Ag Day and celebrate the university’s agricultural roots.

In lieu of the traditional green and vegas gold, the Rams will once again don the alternate pumpkin orange and alfalfa green uniforms with boned horns on the helmet. The look is unique to CSU and pays homage to the days of the Colorado A&M Aggies.

A chance for the players to wear unique threads and for fans to break out the Aggie-themed gear, this weekend is always one of the more anticipated themes of the football season. More than that, it is a chance to honor CSU’s unique heritage and for the players to show off their fresh threads.

Following practice Tuesday, multiple players talked about the excitement of the Ag Day festivities, including junior wide receiver Olabisi Johnson. Com-

By Christian Hendrick ing off a big performance against Colorado, Johnson is excited to play in front of the home fans and wear the uniforms that he scored his first career touchdown in September of 2015.

“The orange is awesome,” Johnson said. “Uniforms do not win games, but I think it makes it that much more exciting of a game because you’re wearing the Aggie jerseys and you see all the fans in orange. It feels like a different environment honestly.”

Junior running back Izzy Matthews also said that he really likes wearing the green and orange uniforms.

“I love them,” Matthews said. “You get out there and you’re kind of feeling yourself in those different jerseys. It just gets you excited to be out there.

It’s almost the same feeling as opening up a stadium. It’s something new, it’s something special, it’s something different.”

While head coach Mike Bobo agrees that uniforms do not win football games, the Rams are 7-0 since the team introduced the uniforms in 2010. In fact, the Rams have not had an opponent even stay within two scores on Ag Day in the last four years.

With all the excitement surrounding the game, even Bobo looks forward to the annual Ag Day celebration. However, as someone that has worn orange on the sideline for the majority of CSU’s contests over the last three years, Saturday will be just another game day at the office.

The third-year coach joked with reporters that he was never allowed to wear orange when he was a player or assistant coach at Georgia because of rivals Auburn, Clemson and Florida.

Now, he’s making up for time lost.

“You never were allowed to wear orange, I grew up never wearing orange from the time I showed up in Athens, Ga. in 1992 until I left in 2015. So when I got here and orange was our color, I said, ‘Hey I want to wear that color because I’ve never worn it,’”Bobo said.

The Rams will look to move to 8-0 in the Aggie uniforms this Saturday. The matchup with Abilene Christian University is scheduled to kickoff at 1:30 p.m.

@ChristianHCSU

The Colorado State women’s soccer team couldn’t find the back of the net for the first two games of the 2017 season.

But since their Aug. 20 overtime loss to Denver, the Rams have regained their offensive stride.

CSU racked up 17 shots, six shots on net and zero goals in the first two games of the season. In the three games since, the Rams have registered 46 shots, 20 shots on net and seven goals.

Leading the offensive resurgence for the Rams is_e the freshman trio of Ally Murphy-Pauletto, Taylor Steinke and Alyssa Yoshida. All three are among the top four on the team in shots and shots on goal. Murphy-Pauletto leads all Rams with nine shots, six shots on goal and three goals.

Steinke is tied for second with one tally.

After a successful career in club and high school soccer, the biggest adjustment for Murphy-Pauletto in her first collegiate season was catching up to the speed of the game.

“I think the speed is the biggest thing that caught me off guard,” Murphy-Pauletto said. “The speed of the game is way faster. You have to play a lot quicker, but it makes the game more fun I think.”

Once acquainted with the college game, the reigning NCAA Soccer Women’s Player of the Week knew she could make an impact in her first year, but recognizes that it couldn’t have been possible without the help of her teammates.

“It was my goal to come in and be a spark whenever I got in,” Murphy-Pauletto said. “I couldn’t have done it without assists from Alyssa Yoshida and Karli Eheart, who’s actually my roommate.”

Coach Bill Hempen said he uses the non-conference portion of the schedule to assemble the best possible combination of players for the start of conference play. With players like Murphy-Pauletto standing out and finding their role, the best mix of players is becoming clear for Hempen and he thinks it has led to more offense.

“Individuals are rising, or kind of finding their way in the pecking order of the program,”

Hempen said. “Obviously the ones that are providing the most positive aspects, we try to get them on the field together.”

Using the right combination of players on game day is one way the Rams have generated offense, but Murphy-Pauletto thinks practice and familiarity has led to an increase in scoring as well.

“We play 3-5-2 and we have definitely understood the positions more as the games have gone on,” Murphy-Pauletto said. “In practice we’ve really been going to the goal and focusing on positive finishes and always getting on the end of everything. I think our attitude of always going to the goal has really gotten us there.”

Both in practice and games, many of the players stepping up for the Rams this season have been freshmen.

To Hempen, seeing freshmen challenge the upperclassmen and push them to be better is a sign that he and his staff are doing their job.

“Our job is to bring kids in that are better than the kids we have and at least challenge those players,” Hempen said.

“Those good players may make the players we have rise, or they can step over them. If you want it bad enough, you’ll outdo the younger player, but right now the younger players don’t know any better, so they’re out here trying to prove themselves.”

Veteran players like junior forward Kaija Ornes have embraced the challenge of competing with the young players.

“I think it’s awesome that the freshmen are able to come in and play,” Ornes said after the first game of the season.

“They’re super strong kids. It’s great to have them in practice.

They’ll push you around. It makes it more competitive every day.”

With a talented mix of youngsters, veterans and quality leaders, Hempen believes this is the best combination of Rams in his time at CSU. “I think this team is closer to getting it right than any other team we’ve had here before,” Hempen said.

The Rams offense will be tested on the road for the first time this season when they take on SIU Edwardsville on Friday at 6 p.m.

After nearly quitting football, Kyle Sloter sees future with Vikings

By Chris Tomasson Pioneer Press

Kyle Sloter had a job offer last January from Ashford Advisors in his hometown of Atlanta and was ready to enter the world of finance.

Sloter had played just one season as a college quarterback, and NFL scouts weren’t exactly gushing about his future. So, even after throwing for 29 touchdowns and 2,656 yards in 2016 for Northern Colorado, Sloter was prepared to move on from football.

“I figured I was going to be a financial adviser,’’ Sloter told the Pioneer Press. “In my mind, I’m thinking, NFL teams aren’t going to be interested in a guy with only 10 college starts at quarterback.”

Sloter said Ashford Advisors officials encouraged him to “chase your dream.”

Good advice.

Sloter agreed to terms Sunday and was signed Monday to the Vikings’ practice squad after they won a bidding war with Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington and Denver. The Vikings will pay him $20,000 a week, nearly three times the practice-squad minimum of $7,200, and he will practice be-

hind starter Sam Bradford and backup Case Keenum.

The Broncos released the 6-foot-4, 218-pound Sloter on Saturday.

Sloter had been moved from quarterback to wide receiver at Southern Mississippi before he transferred to Northern Colorado and had thrown just one college pass prior to last season. He wasn’t invited to the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, but was seen by scouts from all 32 NFL teams at University of Colorado’s pro day in March.

“Right after I got done throwing, about 20 came up to me,” Sloter said. “That was kind of my coming-out party. I was generally an unknown guy until then.”

Sloter wasn’t drafted in April but signed as a free agent with the Broncos. In the preseason, he completed 31 of 43 passes for 413 yards with three touchdowns, no interceptions and an impressive passer rating of 125.4.

“Kyle Sloter did a hell of a job in the preseason and had a hell of a (training) camp,” Broncos general manager and hall of fame quarterback John Elway told reporters Saturday.

It looked as if Sloter would make the 53-man roster until former Denver quarterback Brock Osweiler was waived by Cleveland and signed by the Broncos.

“It was a great experience being in Denver,” Sloter said. “I think I showed in the preseason that I belong in the NFL. ...

They told me that had Osweiler not been available, they were looking at keeping me on the 53-man, but I understand it’s a business.”

The Broncos wanted Sloter for their practice squad, but Minnesota won out.

The Vikings elected to keep just two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster but wanted a third to develop on the practice squad. Taylor Heinicke had been their third quarterback, but he was up and down throughout training camp and the preseason and battled injuries.

After suffering a concussion in last Thursday’s preseason finale against Miami, Heinicke was waived with an injury designation and is now on injured reserve. It remains to be seen if he will be part of Minnesota’s future.

The Vikings bypassed sign-

ing Mitch Leidner, an undrafted rookie from the University of Minnesota, to the practice squad after he had completed 14 of 19 passes for 129 yards while playing the second half of the 30-9 loss to the Dolphins “(The Vikings) told me they weren’t focusing their efforts on any other quarterback,” said Sloter, who will wear No. 1. “They came after me hard for two days. They put their money where their mouth was, and that meant a lot to me.”

The Vikings have questions at quarterback. Bradford, Keenum and Teddy Bridgewater all could be free agents after the season, and Bridgewater, who had been the starter until suffering a catastrophic knee injury Aug. 30, 2016, is on the physically unable to perform list.

Sloter provides the Vikings with a young quarterback they can develop.

“I just felt like this is a place where I could really fit in,” Sloter said. “I’d be lying if I said my goal isn’t to be on the active roster, but that is something that’s down the road.”

In the meantime, Sloter looked back in amazement at how far he has come since he was ready last January to be-

come a financial adviser.

“It’s been a pretty interesting ride, and I’m just blessed to be here,” he said.

The Vikings filled their 10man practice squad Monday by signing center Cornelius Edison and tackle Cedrick Lang.

Edison, undrafted in 2015 out of Portland State, appeared in six games last year for Chicago and was waived Saturday

by Atlanta. Lang, undrafted in 2016 out of Texas-El Paso, has never appeared in an NFL regular-season game and was recently waived by Denver. He played basketball in college before switching to football and being a tight end.

The Vikings return to practice Tuesday after taking Monday off.

Vikings rookie tight end Bucky Hodges cleared waivers Monday and is now on injured reserve.

Minnesota had released Hodges to make room on the roster for tight end Blake Bell, acquired on waivers Sunday from San Francisco. Hodges left in the first half against Miami to be evaluated for a concussion.

Freshmen leading CSU soccer’s offensive resurgence

CSU students interpret music to make art ART

By Gracie Ludens @gracieludens

Classical, rock and R&B songs fill the silence of the art gallery. Bright colors and intriguing images project onto the walls, lighting up the blank canvas of the gallery as a visual interpretation of the music that is playing.

For five Colorado State University students, merging art and music is just another way to express themselves. The student’s artwork will be on display from Sept. 5 to Sept. 8 in the Mini Gallery located in the Visual Arts building on CSU’s campus. Viewing the art will be on a walk-in basis for the entirety of the week.

“Klangfarbenmelodie,” the name of the art show, is referring to the combination of different art styles and music choices presented in the gallery. Joel Schreiner, a junior electronic art and art education major, says the name of the show is representative of the five students coming together to put on a joint art show. Each student participating in the art show picked a song and created art based on what the song means to them.

“We didn’t choose a single song to all pull from,” Schreiner said. “We all chose our own songs, so it kind of goes in line with the definition of the name of the show.”

Schreiner’s friend and fellow artist Christian (CJ) Johnson, a junior student majoring in fine art photography, said the artists hope people come to the show and look up the name to understand more of the meaning behind the art as well as how it relates to the five art students putting on a joint show.

Originally, Johnson was planning on doing an individual art show. In July, he decided to ask other art students if they would be interested in putting on a joint art show because he knew that some of his friends needed the experience before senior year.

Each artist took a different approach to the same general concept of interpreting music to make art, and the show holds different meanings for each of them. Schreiner said he is looking forward to sharing his art with others.

“I’m not usually one that just goes out like ‘hey, let’s put on a show’ or something,” Schreiner said. “It’s really just more of a quiet lifestyle.”

Schreiner’s art is based off a story he is writing, so he knew the character he wanted to depict before he knew the music that would go with it. He wanted to

show a progression to represent how the character develops in the story, and after choosing the music he felt that the music fit well with the character.

“I wanted to find music that had similarities between the first two pieces and the last two pieces because in that way if would feel like it synergized well,” Schreiner said.

For Johnson, the art show holds a more personal meaning.

After his last two solo shows focused abstract art, he was ready to share something deeper. He said he wanted to choose music that represents what he goes through rather than just choosing songs that he likes.

Johnson explained that the song “Philosopher King”

by Dance Gavin Dance is about a king who wants the best for his people. The king is fundamentally flawed, but he does not know that. The song also talks about being held down by the past.

“The piece I did is more about me and moving on and not letting the past hold me down,” Johnson said.

Students who attended the opening of the gallery praised the work that was done. Robyn Pierce, a junior microbiology student at CSU, said she could not pick a favorite piece because they were all great.

Klangfarbenmelodie ■ Exhibit information: Sept. 5 to

Sept. 8 in the Mini Gallery in the Visual Arts building located at 200 W. Lake St. ■ Artists: Isaac Inglish, Jessica Forney, Allyson Fyfe, CJ Johnson and Joel Schreiner.

■ Fun fact: The title of the art show was originally pitched as a joke.

“I don’t usually see digital art combined with traditional art styles like that,” Pierce said.

“I thought it was really awesome how they thought of that.”

Pierce also enjoyed the combination of art and music that the show displayed.

“It was something I hadn’t thought of before, but it makes perfect sense now that I’ve seen it,” Pierce said.

Johnson hopes viewers feel inspired to make art and have fun with it.

Johnson said, “Music and art are connected so it’s best to enjoy the two.”

PUPPY PROFILES

Colorado state student brings home dream dog

By Miranda Moses @mirandasrad

Editor’s Note: Puppy Profiles is an occasional look into the lives of the dogs that make the Fort Collins community truly pawesome. Puppy Profiles gives extensive coverage on what dogs like, how they got here and why we do not deserve them.

After his freshmen year, junior CSU business administration student Timothy Ouzounian began to hunt for his perfect furry companion to accompany him into the next school year. What came out of that search was more than the tiny husky he dreamed of for eight years: he got a Katrina.

MORE ABOUT KATRINA

■ Katrina’s Instagram can be

found at @katrinatheakk and features her laying in grass, hanging out with other puppies and doing tricks

Katrina is an Alaskan Klee Kai mixed with a Shiba Inu. She is 20 pounds and just celebrated her second birthday.

The puppy enjoys being chased by other dogs and recently took up swimming as a hobby.

Sometimes when Katrina sleeps, she produces three double chins.

Ouzounian acquired Katrina from a breeder in Florida when

she was 9 months old, and from the very beginning, Katrina came with surprises.

“When the breeder brought her over from Florida, she flew her over and Snoop Dogg was on the plane,” Ouzounian said. “My parents went to pick her up, and when everyone deboarded the plane, Snoop Dogg just came out. Like, he was the first one off.”

Although Ouzounian himself never trained any previous family dogs, he started training Katrina after realizing she was “not well behaved but not, not well behaved.”

Via obedience work, Katrina proved that she is a smart dog.

She can heel, retrieve and do stunt work. Ouzounian said for a time he would hide something in the apartment and and see if Katrina or his roommates could find it first. Katrina always won.

While many CSU students put off becoming apart of the Fort Collins abundant dog community until they have a steady job of their own to sustain their dog children, Ouzounian has a different perspective on the timing for becoming a dog parent. According to him, the sooner the better. “My parents were really pushing me, saying ‘you should get a dog now because once you get into your career and you are working long hours, getting a young dog is going to be hard,’” said

Katrina laying down. PHOTO COURTESY OF TIMOTHY OUZOUNIAN

Ouzounian. “’If you get it now, you can really train it so when you start your career it will be more independent.’ So, if I did not get her now, it would be like 10 years before I got a dog.”

Ouzounian says his parents love dogs and Katrina, so much so that his parents have texted him to specifically ask how Katrina is doing and do not ask about about him.

“They even texted me a

couple days before my birthday reminding me that Katrina’s birthday is the 29th,” Ouzounian said.

Recognizing their unashamed love for his tiny dog, Ouzounian bought both is parents bumper stickers that say “I love my granddog.”

“Katrina is smart and a great companion,” said Karyn Wong, Ouzounian’s mother. “She is beautiful, and she knows it.”

Ouzounian says that Katrina is generally low maintenance in terms of care. She only eats once a day and can stay home alone now that she is older. She does have another roommate dog to hang out with at home, a Lhasa Apso named Max who goes by the nickname “Big Sexy.”

Ouzounian’s friend Derek Slusser, a junior CSU political science and journalism student, says hanging out with Katrina and Ouzounian makes him both want a dog and not want a dog in his near future.

“I see how much of a shit she is, and it is a turnoff, but also having that companionship would be great,” Slusser said. “I really want an American bulldog that is huge and likes to cuddle.”

Ouzounian said if you are planning on adopting a dog in college, make sure you know what you are in for because it is a long commitment, and also make sure you are ready to financially sustain a dog for its entire lifespan. He recommends purchasing doggy health insurance.

Ouzounian said getting an older puppy was a good move because she was already potty trained and at an age that made her readily trainable, opposed to a puppy that was only weeks old. He encourages people to adopt mixes, like Katrina.

“Dogs being around just makes people happier,” Ouzounian said. “Having to take care of something and walk them twice a day and feed them and take care of them just adds a level of satisfaction in your life that no many things can.”

Fox and Clover Market Shops brings farmhouse style to Fort Collins

By Anna Nixon @anna_nixon12

A new store in Fort Collins brings the Texas farmhouse theme to Colorado.

Unassumingly tucked behind the busy intersection of College and Horsetooth lies Fox and Clover Market Shops. This locally owned and operated marketplace opened in June, and it is home to 42 independent venders, all working together to sell urban farmhouse style items. From handmade soap and reclaimed vintage radios to boho chic clothing and one of a kind wall art, Fox and Clover has a wide array of items to choose from.

Owner Kate Grant, a Texas native, drew inspiration for Fox and Clover from urban farmhouse style shops in her own home town.

“I felt that Fort Collins didn’t have a shop that really catered to that taste, so I intended it to be an urban chic farmhouse store to share with other like-minded entrepreneurs who could become ‘market shop owners’ and rent space inside the shop and bring in their cute merchandise to share with Fort Collins shoppers,” Grant said.

Fox and Clover’s unique business plan cultivates a contagiously positive energy within the shop. Two zebra finches add to the ambiance by providing soft chirping from behind the counter.

“Our philosophy has always

been to serve our vendors to the best of our ability, supporting their entrepreneurial efforts and increasing profits for them as they conduct business within our walls,” Grant said. “We also serve our customers a warm, friendly and inspiring atmosphere filled with intentional merchandise for their lives and homes, creating a one of a kind shopping experience.”

Fox and Clover gives local creatives a space to grow together as artists and members of the community.

“I am truly blessed and grateful beyond measure to be surrounded with such an outstanding group of artists and people,” Grant said.

Shoppers like Dina Lowder appreciate Fox and Clover’s approach to business and their unique set of merchandise.

“I like more of the handmade vintage rustic looking gifts,” Lowder said. “When we have

stores like this around us, we always go.”

The successes of Fox and Clover has not gone unnoticed.

Local vendors are eager to add their names to a growing waitlist for space in the shop, which has Grant thinking about opening a second location.

Fox and Clover offers monthly

outdoor markets, surprise popup markets, design classes, painting classes, gift cards, local delivery, layaway and more.

Drama ‘The Glass Castle’ a haunting tale of family, escape

By Mir-Yashar Seyedbagheri @dudesosad

During a scene in “The Glass Castle,” father of the movie’s protagonist, Rex Walls, (Woody Harrelson) proclaims, “the air’s so polluted they can’t see the stars. We’d have to be out of our minds to trade places.”

Yet pollution of another sort is a constant leitmotif throughout the movie, based on Jeannette Walls’ memoir. It’s an emotional pollution that threatens an entire family, which the film adaptation powerfully captures.

The movie opens with our protagonist Jeannette (Brie Larson) at a dinner with her fiancé David’s (Max Greenfield) clients in 1989. When she is asked about her family, she tells the clients that her mother is an artist and her father is an engineer trying to develop a technology that more effectively burns bituminous coals. They live a charmed existence. There’s just one problem. It’s filled with lies. But one cannot help but grant Jeannette a reprieve as the movie unfolds, shifting nicely between childhood scenes, as well as scenes of her present (in 1989).

This shift in scenes illustrates how the whirl of the past overwhelms the present.

The family is anything but down-to-earth. The first flashback we are offered speaks volumes. Jeanette’s mother Rose Mary (Naomi Watts), a self- absorbed artist, asks her young daughter to cook hot dogs. Jeannette burns herself in the process, hinting at serious familial neglect and a realization that self-reliance is key.

“I cook all the time,” Jeannette proclaims when questioned by a social worker.

On top of that, the family is constantly moving, in search of their ideal paradise. There’s a mosaic quality to this, a constant exodus, fueled by father Rex’s dreams of living away from society and expectations.

“You learn from living, everything else is a lie,” proclaims Rex. And so is his vision of the world, as much as Jeannette wants to believe in her father.

We see her struggle between her own desires, especially her burgeoning writing career, and loyalty to her father’s dream. It’s not an easy balance. A perpetual

drunk, constantly losing jobs, Rex shifts between grand proclamations and euphoria and bouts of immense verbal abuse.

The family struggles to live, at one point being forced to take baths in a swimming pool because the water has been turned off.

And yet, Rex is not portrayed as a complete villain. It would be easy for a movie to fall into that trap. It doesn’t. When the family reluctantly moves back to Rex’s hometown of Welch, WV, we are introduced to his hillbilly family, including his abusive mother.

A scene in which this ogre of a grandmother sexually abuses one of Jeannette’s siblings makes clear what her father is running from. His idea of escape may seem idealistic and destructive, but they become understandable.

Escape is a constant theme in the movie, nicely fleshed out, and we see it in many forms. Just as Rex seeks escape from his past, Jeannette flees home for the safety of New York and a writing career. Her mother attempts to lose herself in delusions of artistic fame. At the end of the day though, one cannot truly escape the familial rifts which are constantly bubbling, as the scenes of an older

Colorado State University students are working with drones.

Using aerial robotics vision tracking through drones, CEO of Fort Collins-based Red Mountain Scientific, Mike Moses, is revolutionizing high infrastructure inspections and interning Colorado State University students through the Mechanical Engineering Senior Design Program.

The Mechanical Engineering Senior Design Program at CSU is the capstone engineering design course of the mechanical engineering department. This program gives mechanical engineering students the opportunity to work with

industry or faculty sponsored projects to design a machine that performs some kind of task. The task depends on which industry is sponsoring the project.

“Each senior design project has multiple components,” said Wade Troxell, mayor of Fort Collins and corporate liaison for the Senior Design Program. “Students need to define the problem and come up with a solution that functions, is economic, sustainable and reproducible. It’s a good opportunity for mechanical engineering students.”

The company specifically looks into aerial robotics for drone vision tracking, working on improving the drone’s visual recognition and identifying potential problems in inspections.

ABOUT MIKE MOSES ■ Formerly worked for SSG, a

software consultancy based in Dallas, TX ■ Formerly worked as a Systems Engineer for eMED Technologies ■ Formerly was a Research Ecologist for the U.S. Department of the Interior ■ BS in Engineering from Texas A&M ■ MS in Ecology from Texas A&M “We have a league of commercial aerial drones with on board sensors with GPS tracking, collision detection and a 20 megapixel camera in order

to analyze tall structures,” Moses said. “Using the drones for this task rather than people keeps people safe and out of these high spaces.”

The two-semester project will teach interns to use new tools in artificial intelligence and scientific programming to have the drones analyze the image data and to produce quality reports of possible issues with the infrastructure inspection. This would eliminate the need for a human behind each drone, even though the drone can fly itself.

“This ability would allow for a decrease in cost and work hours currently required to perform these critical maintenance operations, which would translate into lower cost renewable energy,” said Wes Tulli, a fourth

year mechanical engineering student interning with Red Mountain Scientific. “With this advancement, it will be possible to conduct a normally six to eight hour task, utilizing a team of two, only 45 minutes.”

The project is mutually beneficial for Moses and the students.

“I think that this will be a very rewarding project,” Tulli said. “It’s designed to allow us as students of engineering to truly take the reins and run with our ideas, but will also allow us to work closely with experienced professionals who can help us. I look forward to working with Mike (Moses) and his team.”

Road 34’s Dollar Beer Thursdays promote community

By Mir-Yashar Seyedbagheri @dudesosad

Road 34’s Dollar Beer Thursdays are about more than simply having a cheap drink. They are about good times, community and friendship.

Road 34’s owner, Schuyler Gantert, places a high premium on community, seeing the bar as an opportunity to create a unique and laid-back ambiance.

DOLLAR BEER THURSDAYS Road 34. 1213 W. Elizabeth Street, in Fort Collins.

■ Where: ■ When:

Thursdays 8 p.m.-2 a.m.

■ Current dollar beer offers: New

Belgium Old Aggie, Voodoo Ranger, Citradelic, Fat Tire White.

“Everyone has a good time with it,” Gantert said.

Dollar Beer Thursdays draw in regular crowds, namely college students. Gantert

said this offers great opportunities to socialize and connect.

“People get to know each other outside each other’s groups,” Gantert said.

Gantert’s not just an observer from behind the bar.

He takes pride in being part of the community itself. The staff mingle with the patrons, contributing further to the friendly ambiance.

“I got to know the same people,” Gantert said. “I want us to be on a level playing field with our customers.”

And Gantert’s efforts seem to be bearing their dividends.

“I think Road 34 has a really cool vibe,” said Eric Palmer, a first-year microbiology graduate student at Colorado State University.

Dollar Beer Thursday is an opportunity to meet a variety of people, facilitated partially because the bar does not blast loud music, Palmer said.

Palmer has been a Dollar Beer Thursday patron for a decade.

Others noted certain commonalities among the crowds.

“Most people here are in the same boat with school, work, stress,” said Joe Miller, a fourth-year engineering student at CSU. “(Road 34’s particular vibe is) high energy but not obnox-

ious,” Palmer said. “You look around and see people talking and laughing.”

Road 34’s atmosphere is “chill” and offers opportunities for “conversation and quality time,” said Lindsey Paricio, a fourth-year chemistry major at CSU. “You always run into friends.”

The bartenders and staff are respected by the patrons.

“The bartenders are laid back,” said Marion Cambrelin, a second-year veterinary graduate student at CSU. It is not just the particular crowds that give the bar its unique identity. The aesthetics also contribute greatly, Gantert said.

“I like that there’s foosball and bar games,” Cambrelin said.

Bottom line: If you’re looking for jukebox fights and people flying in slow-motion over the bar, Road 34 is probably not your cup of tea ... or bottle of beer. Dollar Beer Thursday at Road 34 offers a sense of community and an opportunity to relax in a high energy, yet laid-back, venue.

EVENTS

Student Sustainability Center to host bike tour of campus

By Casey Setash @caseylovesbirds

Move over, Tour de Fat, there is a new cycling event in town.

The Student Sustainability Center, or SSC, is hosting a Sustainability Bike Tour of the Colorado State University campus this Thursday, Sept. 7 at 5 p.m.

Starting at Laurel Village on West Plum Street, the tour will meander around campus, stopping at sites along the way that highlight the University’s participation in sustainable actions and its accomplishments over the last several years. They will then convene at The Colorado Room for some light refreshments to discuss what they have seen.

Nevan Mandel, the Center’s

associate director of outreach, kept the tour route a secret obtainable only to those who show up. “(The tour) is for anyone who wants to know what CSU does for sustainability or anyone who thinks they know what CSU does for sustainability,” Mandel said.

Mandel will be leading the tour along with his colleague Madison Wood, the associate director of engagement for the SSC. The Student Sustainability Center, which encompasses the Coalition for Sustainable Student Organizations and the Student Sustainability Club, has partnered with other groups on campus to host events from a dumpster diving open house to a composting club. They pride

themselves on “improving institutional sustainability” and offer a semester-long course on the interdisciplinary career options related to sustainability.

Biking, while not a specific initiative of the SSC, is a popular commuting option for CSU students. The university has committed to having 18,000 bicycle parking spots on campus by 2018, and promotes a myriad of biking initiatives to try to reduce car traffic on and around campus.

Victor Krepschi, a PhD student at São Paulo University in Brazil who is participating in a research exchange program at CSU, bikes to campus every day.

He reveled in the fact that, compared to the sustainability programs at his home university, CSU is “paradise,” he said.

“(I am) learning more about sustainability initiatives at CSU...how trash is handled and how much is actually recycled,” Krepschi said.

MORE ABOUT THE EVENT ■ When:

Thursday Sept. 7 at 5 p.m.

Meet at Laurel Village, post-ride beers at The Colorado Room

■ Where:

Another campus cyclist, fourth-year biology major and global environmental sustainability minor Alannah Liebert, who is also the director of the Nitrogen Footprint Project at CSU, hopes that this tour will

convey “education for students on proper cycling etiquette,” she said.

When some students come to CSU they may not know the rules of biking around campus.

“Especially towards the beginning of the year, students may not know where our bike lanes are, or even what to do when encountering bikes, which can be troublesome for bikers when going at high speeds,” Liebert said.

Participants of the tour have the opportunity to learn all of this on Thursday, Sept. 7 as well as alternative options for creating a greener, more sustainable campus community.

MUSIC

Emo rapper Lil Peep embodies sadboi aesthetic in new album

By Zach Bermejo @zach_bermejo

Lil Peep is a sadboi.

Listening to his music, it is not hard to understand that the New York rapper focuses on the melancholy and dramatic. What may be harder to understand is his image, which does not always match his sound.

Lil Peep looks as if the concept art for Jared Leto’s Joker jumped off the page and into the music scene. He is an amalgamation of emo and urban, and it is reflected in his music which gained popularity through SoundCloud and YouTube.

His debut album, “Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 1,” certainly muddles that divide.

The opening track, “Benz Truck,” sounds like a traphop inspired tune, complete with the stereotypical hip-hop motifs of sex and expensive cars. However, the rest of the album sounds more like a hazy, emo ballad with tinges of rap elements.

In fact, it is arguable that Lil Peep does not actually rap at all in the album. His depressingly monotone verses are interspersed with drawn out melodies, which gives the impression that is he trying to sing rather than have word flow. It works well with the demoniac instrumentation that is emphasized throughout the album, yet can be confusing as to what sort of music you are listening to.

Lil Peep, whose real name is Gustav Åhr, sounds like he would be some goofy and gimmicky rapper and not a member of something called the GothBoiClique. Some of his older singles on his SoundCloud page certainly rely on time-worn lyrics about the rapper lifestyle: sex, money, success, flashy things, etc. The bulk of Lil Peep’s lyrical content is almost the opposite: the consequences of trying to chase such a lifestyle. Sad guitar riffs sulk underneath moody anthems about suicide, broken relationships and excessive

drug use. These themes want you to think that Lil Peep is a complex individual victim to the problematic habits of youth, but perhaps they are too strong to be entirely relatable.

SADBOI LIL PEEP ■ Music available on YouTube,

Spotify, SoundCloud and IHeartRadio

As a relatively new artist on the rise, Lil Peep could still go in a different direction with his music. However, his current genre-bending style is consistent enough to suggest that he will not be abandon the emo-rapper persona. He is one of a handful of underground rappers behind what can be called emo revivalism, which is more or less taking emo and somehow making it work within other genres.

Does it work for Lil Peep?

Well, I could not imagine

listening to Lil Peep’s music with friends, unless we were all ready for a night of heavy drinking and sharing feelings.

The sometimes subversively chill rhythms are not to enough to forget the fact that you are listening to someone share their sadboi tragedies.

Surprisingly, that can kind of be a buzzkill for a Friday night.

Should you listen to Lil Peep: Maybe.

Lil Peep’s music shoots for a very narrow crowd. At first glance, he appears to be the definition of trying too hard. Though, if you can get past the obnoxious image and histrionic lyrics, you might be able to hear some surprisingly decent punk rhythms. You only need to listen to a reasonable amount of his debut to get a feel for what Lil Peep is: a sadboi.

‘Thor: Ragnarok’ expands Marvel universe in creative ways

By Meredith Woerner Los Angeles Times

“Thor: Ragnarok” might be the third title in the Marvel Cinematic Universe about the god of thunder, but this colorful deviation is no mere knockoff of its predecessors. Gone are the golden turrets of Asgard, overthrown by the goddess of death (played by Cate Blanchett), whose ‘80s metal band swagger debuted at Comic-Con, setting fans on fire. The serious Nordic costumes have been electrified with Jack Kirby-inspired cosmic blues and reds. And instead of leaning on choral anthems, the new score will usher in a synth symphony channeling the hypnotizing sounds of JeanMichel Jarre. The driving force behind these electric, retrotinged changes is director Taika Waititi, best known for writing and directing the cult comedies “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” and “What We Do in the Shadows.”

“Ragnarok,” which opens Nov. 3, finds Thor imprisoned on the planet Sakaar, where he must fight to survive in the Grandmaster’s gladiator games.

It’s the stuff of life and death. But Waititi didn’t lose sight of the fact that it’s still entertainment.

“If we were taking things a little too seriously, I would say, ‘Never forget that we’re making a cosmic adventure with a space Viking,’” said the director by phone. “That sort of captures it all. We’ve got the Incredible Hulk, and a giant woman with antlers. We’ve got aliens and spaceships. It’s almost like a bunch of kids were asked what they wanted to put into a movie, and then we just did that.”

And while it’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of Waititi’s aesthetic changes (Thor cut his hair!), perhaps the most exciting addition to the Marvel universe is the new cast members, who feel like they were plucked from a late night, Internet fan casting session. All your faves are in this flick. Jeff Goldblum, Tessa Thompson, Karl Urban, Rachel House and the aforementioned Blanchett are all part of Waititi’s “space Viking” opus.

So we rounded up the newbies to find out who they’re playing and what it’s like being

on team Marvel.

Jeff Goldblum (Grandmaster) “I’m the Grandmaster,” Goldblum said. The actor, who sports a bold blue lip in the movie, described his time on set as a “golden memory” but was hesitant to reveal too much about his big character debut.

“If you followed the comic books (then you know that) he’s one of the elders in the universe.

His brother is the Collector, immortal, has fought and beaten death, has superpowers galore, and his games are a playful, playful sort.”

Cate Blanchett (Hela) When asked why she wanted to play the big bad in “Thor: Ragnarok” Blanchett was direct: “A) It was Taika. B) It was the goddess of death. And C) There’s never been a female Marvel villain.”

Calling the shoot an “exercise in tone,” the actress revealed that her biggest struggle transforming into Hela was trying to feel powerful and credible as a villain _ while wearing a motion-capture suit.

“The headdress is such a huge part of when she comes into the height of her powers in the film,” Blanchett said. “I only wore that really in the photo shoots. I had to sort of imagine what it was like being a reindeer.”

Karl Urban (Skurge) Every great baddie needs a good lackey; enter one tattooheaded Skurge. The Asgardian warrior has been operating the Bifrost bridge in the absence of Heimdall (Idris Elba).

“Then Hela turns up, and Skurge quickly realizes that he either has to join her or die,” Urban said. “He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he’s bright enough to make the right choice for him. He’s a survivalist.”

Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie) An elite warrior of Asgard “who has sort of lost her way” is how Thompson describes her character. The actress and Waititi wanted to deviate from the comic book version of Valkyrie, and instead create a more timely character.

“There’s an unfair position that women are sometimes put in, in the context of superhero movies and action movies where at once they have to be very

strong and fierce, but also sexy,” Thompson said. “Obviously, it’s still a superhero movie and so you’ve got to figure out when you need to stand with your hands on your hips and what makes sense. But we wanted to create a character that occupied her own iconography.”

“There’s one word I hate in all scripts in Hollywood at the moment in describing women, and that is the word “badass.” That word has just crept into every script that is pushed around this town now.

It’s terrible, because it doesn’t mean anything. It’s a dumb male writer’s way of saying, ‘Ah, uh, she’s like, she, uh, she’s tough.’

Then straight after that it’s like, ‘She’s badass, but she’s got a beauty about her. And she’s sexy.

Unconsciously sexy.’”

Rachel House (Topaz) She’s Waititi’s “good luck charm.” House has been in nearly all of the director’s films.

House’s character here is yet another great warrior who works for the Grandmaster as a sort of bodyguard.

“She’s a little bit strict with him at times,” said House. “But she’s also quite petulant, when he shows his affections toward other people: not happy, very protective and easily jealous.”

Taika Waititi (Korg) Pulling double duty, Waititi plays the 8-foot-tall Kronan warrior made of purple rocks.

Korg was originally supposed to have only a few scenes, but Waititi manages to flesh him out (via motion-capture suit) substantially.

“You’ve got to understand that Taika Waititi the actor is an incredible person to work with,” the director explained. “When Taika Waititi the director comes across someone like that, it just seems appropriate to give that actor a bit more time to show what they can do. I did that, and my theory was correct. I was, he was that good. As an actor, I highly valued Taika Waititi the director, who was very generous to me in giving me a few more takes than everyone else, and really let me show what I can do.”
