The local organization protested outside FCPS to speak out against racial injustice By Meagan Stackpool @MeaganStackpool
so special because it really worked alongside all the artists in the area to create a community where everyone felt comfortable,” said Lucas Wood, bassist for Satellite Pilot. “I always felt good about playing a PBJ show because I knew I would see countless familiar and friendly faces when I got there.” Satellite Pilot is a Loveland-based psychedelic indie-pop band who played over 10 shows at the venue, including both of their album releases.
The Fort Collins People’s Initiative for Equity held a Rally for Justice Friday night. The demonstration took place in front of the Fort Collins Police Services building, where approximately 20 people gathered along the road. Demonstrators held signs demanding racial justice, both locally and nationally. FoCo PIE describes itself as a community organization dedicated to dismantling all forms of injustice, according to their website. Sabrina Santos, the volunteer coordinator for FoCo PIE, explained their goals for the evening. “We are focused on giving people tangible things that they can do,” Santos said. “Standing outside is a great physical demonstration, it’s a great reminder to our community of what’s going on, but we also want to give our volunteers a way to get more active to make a bigger difference instead of just being physically present.” The rally focused on encouraging conversations between community members and providing resources for further involvement. Organizers brought posters with information about local resources, like the Fort Collins City budget public hearing and the Colorado Freedom Fund, as well as national resources, like The Innocence Project and Save the Post Office. Shayne Weber, a first-year graduate philosophy student and a research volunteer for FoCo PIE, expressed why he felt the need to attend the rally.

Campus West Pinball Jones closes its doors Musicians and fans mourn the pioneering DIY startup By Maddy Erskine @maddyerskine_
Growing up in this town, Pinball Jones has always been one of my favorite places, both as a venue and an arcade. In high school, my friends and I were always checking the schedule to see if they had a show that week we wanted to see. During the last few years, so many people I know and care about have played shows there. When I finally got the courage to join a band, our first real gig was opening for someone at Pinball Jones Campus West.
It was one of the most exciting moments to see our band’s name on a flyer for a show. Unfortunately, the show was canceled due to COVID-19. And now, Pinball Jones has sadly announced that their Campus West location will not be reopening. The closure of local venues and bars isn’t a surprise with COVID-19. Many of these places are struggling to make ends meet since their businesses rely on drawing crowds and hosting large groups of people. Pinball Jones Campus West has been open since 2017. They
have dozens of arcade and pinball games and have been a hub for local music over the last few years. The downtown location also has dozens of pinball machines and arcade games and remains open. There is a possibility that, once it is safe again to have shows, live music will resume at this location. The closure of Pinball Jones Campus West has many local bands heavy-hearted. It was known for being a DIY venue for anyone to play shows and share their music with the community. “I think (Pinball Jones) felt

SCIENCE
CSU professors to partner on AI, climate research institute prove a specific research task. “We already have some AI tools that look at certain observations — infrared satellite imagery related to atmospheric water content, for example — that tells us about storm structures, or can predict a zone of severe storm formation,” Rogers wrote.
“Trustworthy AI tools can lead to more trustworthy forecasts and warnings, and that’s a major benefit to society.” MATTHEW ROGERS CIRA EDUCATION AND OUTREACH COORDINATOR
According to an article by Renee Cho of State of the Planet, the news blog for The Earth Institute at Columbia University, AI improves weather and extreme event forecasting because in its calculations it
incorporates real-world elements, such as atmospheric and ocean dynamics and chemistry. “Trustworthy AI tools can lead to more trustworthy forecasts and warnings, and that’s a major benefit to society,” Rogers wrote. Rogers wrote that AI applications exist that allow researchers to find patterns in signals they could not otherwise see, such as trends in temperature or humidity datasets. Additionally, AI can generate data from outside sources, giving researchers more to work with for modeling and forecasting, Rogers wrote. “Just like statistics and experimentation, AI is a tool that lets us do more with the observations we have,” Rogers wrote. At the institute, Rogers wrote, researchers will work on a very comprehensive timeline, reporting progress to the NSF as they go. “One of the key components of the institute is broadening AI participation and workforce
development,” Rogers wrote. “I’m on a team that is working to bring education and training for AI to the workforce and the classroom; teaching about when and how AI can be applied, … so the next generation workforce is getting what they’ll need for their future careers.” Understanding and using AI can be a steep learning curve at first, Rogers wrote. With the AI process, the answers a researcher gets might have more to do with how they ran the algorithm than the underlying science. Rogers wrote that Ebert-Uphoff and Barnes, along with Anderson, have extensive experience helping scientists understand AI. “Properly-used, trustworthy AI could be a game changer in terms of collecting, analyzing and communicating our research results — that’s true for CIRA, for CSU and for the field in general,” Rogers wrote.

Environmental science and technological advancement may not be something people always think of as being related, but at Colorado State University, they go hand in hand. Researchers at CSU are partnering with the University of Oklahoma on a five-year program to work with artificial intelligence and study how AI can be utilized in environmental research, according to a CSU SOURCE article. Matthew Rogers, a research associate and education and outreach coordinator for the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere, wrote in an email to The Collegian that the program, which has received $20 million from the National Science Foundation, was “rigorously reviewed” before being chosen. “Research (professor) Imme Ebert-Uphoff has
worked with the program lead (professor) Amy McGovern at OU on other projects and (has) co-written a paper with McGovern on the blending of academia, government and private sector interests for AI research,” Rogers wrote in the email. “When the NSF solicitation came along in September of last year, it was a natural match to the work they had already been doing.” Ebert-Uphoff, who works at CIRA and in the department of electrical and computer engineering, will work on the program alongside multiple CSU researchers, including associate professor of atmospheric science Elizabeth Barnes and computer science professor Chuck Anderson. The SOURCE article states that CSU will lead two “usecase” studies to “better understand tropical storms and prediction of severe weather events” on multiple time scales. Rogers explained that use-case studies are examples of how new AI techniques im-

CHANGE >> from page 1 “I feel like I have a personal and moral responsibility to specifically speak out against injustices specifically caused by white supremacy,” Weber said. “Specifically as a white male, I have to make sure that I don’t allow that representation to continue, and I have to be vocal and active against that, otherwise I’m just complicit.” One demonstrator, who wished to remain anonymous over safety concerns, expressed how her identity as a Hispanic woman has influenced her relationship with racism. She explained how people treat her differently when she is around her family versus when she is with her husband, who is white. She also discussed the movements
for racial justice going on around the country today. “This has gone on since before I was born,” the demonstrator said. “We have a moment here — maybe it’s part pandemic, maybe it’s the different things that have caught the attention — ... that has galvanized people, and I’m here to make sure we have that momentum.” FoCo PIE focuses on engagement with the community and organizes a variety of demonstrations aimed at fighting injustices and raising awareness, according to their website. Currently, the organization is focused on the Fort Collins City budget and changing the way in which funds are allocated. Among other things, FoCo PIE is focused on the deferral of affordable housing funds, according to their social media. Santos expressed how FoCo PIE has been trying to encourage people to be active in the process. “It’s hard to understand (and)
it’s cumbersome, and the more citizens that get involved and give feedback (in the budget process), the more those things will change,” Santos said. “That’s really the biggest thing that we can do — ... just get involved and be talking to our City council, be talking to representatives, letting them know what you want because they are there to represent you, and if they don’t hear from you, they don’t know what to represent.” Chelle Costello, a professor at Aims Community College, expressed the importance of showing up at demonstrations. “They still matter,” Costello said. “Black lives still matter, and I want people of color to know that we still care and that we’re still out here, we’re still fighting for them. If one Black life sees the sign and they’re like ‘OK, people haven’t forgotten,’ then that’s worth it to me.” Meagan Stackpool can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Students in Braiden, Summit Hall ordered to quarantine By Serena Bettis @serenaroseb
Colorado State University students living in Braiden and Summit halls have been ordered to quarantine, effective immediately, as of Sept. 24, according to an email sent late last night by University President Joyce McConnell. McConnell wrote in her email to students, faculty and staff that this mandatory quarantine is based on testing from Sept. 24 that found high levels of COVID-19 in the wastewater at these halls. “I want to be very clear that our first priority now, as always, is the health and well-being of our entire campus community,” McConnell wrote. “This means that this weekend we will be testing all students living in the two impacted residence halls and making medical care available to all students who are sick and develop symptoms.” According to McConnell’s email, students in Braiden and Summit will be delivered meals, starting with breakfast Sept. 25. In the email sent to students living in Braiden and Summit, the Pandemic Preparedness Team said Braiden Dining Center will only be open to Braiden residents, and a tent will be located outside Summit Hall for students to pick up food at designated hours each day throughout the quarantine period. The Pandemic Preparedness Team said it is setting up mandatory testing tents outside of these residence halls on Saturday and will notify students of their results within 48 hours. Although these halls were already undergoing mandatory testing, students tested this week may be required to be tested again. According to the email sent to Braiden and Summit Halls, students will also be required to be
tested again after several days, as nasal swab tests do not show infection as quickly as wastewater testing does. “Determining all of the positives in your hall will take some time,” the email read. “You should expect to be on quarantine for a period of time that will allow us to identify those students who have COVID-19 and their close contacts. The amount of time you are required to be on quarantine will depend upon several factors, but we are committed to minimizing the impact of this order as much as possible.” The email said that students who repeatedly test negative will be released from quarantine on a timeline determined by public health officials. This will happen after determining many factors, including wastewater testing of the halls after all students who test positive are moved to another location for a period of isolation. In her email, McConnell said that while the wastewater testing is extremely sensitive to traces of COVID-19, the numbers are “climbing a bit,” and students need to remain committed to wearing a mask, avoiding large gatherings, maintaining at least 6 feet of distance from others, washing hands for at least 20 seconds and filling out the daily symptom checker. “To our students who are now in quarantine: We are doing all we can to get you all back out onto campus and to class, and we are going to do all we can to support you in the meantime,” McConnell wrote. “I know this is unbelievably hard and not how you wanted to spend your semester, but I also know you are smart and strong and you care about each other. You’ll get through this. We are here for you.” Serena Bettis can be reached at news@collegian.com.

CSU no longer leads Colorado universities in COVID-19 cases By Serena Bettis @serenaroseb
Despite the recent mandated quarantine placed upon students in Braiden and Summit halls, Colorado State University no longer leads Colorado universities in positive COVID-19 cases. As of Sept. 25, CSU has reported 319 positive COVID-19 cases since the beginning of June, which is the second highest number on Colorado campuses, according to a tracker put together by
The New York Times. The Collegian reported Aug. 31 that CSU, then at just over 80 recorded COVID-19 cases since May, led universities across the state in COVID-19 numbers, with the University of Colorado Boulder at 66 positive cases. CU Boulder has now reported 1,019 positive COVID-19 cases since Aug. 24 on their COVID-19Ready Dashboard, which was last updated Sept. 26, and has transitioned to remote learning for at least two weeks, effective Sept. 23, according to
an update on their website. Since Aug. 24, CSU has reported 160 positive cases. Additionally, CSU has conducted more than 15,760 tests, updated as of Sept. 23, according to the testing summary on the COVID-19 Recovery website. CU Boulder has conducted 4,320 tests, updated as of Sept. 25. This puts CSU’s positive COVID-19 percentage rate at 2.02% and CU Boulder’s positive COVID-19 percentage rate at 23.6%.

Cory Gardner should wait to confirm a Supreme Court nominee By Corinne Neustadter @cneustad
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. Recently, we’ve lost one of the most revered feminist icons of the 21st century. A fierce advocate for civil rights and gender equality, Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Sept. 18 at the age of 87 after serving 27 years as the second woman to sit on the Supreme Court. Her work in fighting for gender equality and civil rights continues to benefit people across the nation and is one of her countless impacts on the nation as it stands today. The sheer scale of her work has been noted by a myriad of elected officials on both sides of the aisle, yet a Senate resolution to honor her life was recently blocked by Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. Cruz blocked this previously bipartisan resolution, as it contained so-called “partisan” rhetoric relating to the posthumous wishes of Ginsburg.
Specifically, it contained Ginsburg’s dying wish that she not be replaced until the new president is elected in November, Ginsburg’s granddaughter said. Colorado’s own Sen. Cory Gardner should wait to vote on confirming a Supreme Court nominee. Voting now might lose him a lot of voters he claims to represent, including left-leaning college students voting for the first time this year. As my fellow opinion columnist Mason Holitza warned last week, “There is very little standing in the way of a right-wing majority in the Supreme Court.” In the week since her passing, members of the Republican Party have been desecrating Ginsburg’s dying wish in their fervent push to fill her seat before Nov. 3. However, vulnerable Republican senators could be more open to voting against a nominee to bolster their voting records and build their withering voter support. Recent polls reveal that a lot of Americans want the winner of the 2020 presidential election to fill the Supreme Court vacancy, flying in the face of the rhetoric employed by Mitch McConnell in 2016, emphasizing that we should “give the people a voice” upon stonewalling former President Barack Obama’s pick, Merrick Garland. Republican Sen. Susan Collins,
COMIC ILLUSTRATION BY RYAN GREENE @TFOGDOGS
in the middle of a difficult reelection, has announced she believes the president-elect should decide who the Supreme Court nominee will be and does not believe the Senate should vote on the matter before then. Collins’ support is noticeably lagging in Maine, with her Democratic challenger ahead in recent polls by as much as 12 points.
“If Gardner intends to keep his Senate seat, he needs to recognize that every political calculation he makes in the next six weeks will have a direct bearing on his chances of reelection.” Notably, Gardner may vote to confirm a nominee prior to Nov. 3. Given that his reelection campaign has gone from a “toss up” to a “lean Democrat” by the Cook Political Report, Gardner’s political future could be in jeopardy come November. Though praised for passing bipartisan conservation legislation this past summer, Gardner’s approval ratings are low, with only 38%
average approval since 2015. If Gardner intends to keep his Senate seat, he needs to recognize that every political calculation he makes in the next six weeks will have a direct bearing on his chances of reelection. His choice to vote on a senate confirmation before the election is a disservice to Ginsburg’s dying wish as well as his constituents — many of whom already disapproved of him prior to that announcement. If Gardner decides to confirm, it would emphasize a blind ignorance to the evolving demographics of Colorado. His victory in 2014 was the first time in 36 years a challenger upset an incumbent senator and helped the Republican Party regain control of the Senate. In years since, however, Gardner has not lived up to being “a new kind of Republican” — a middle of the road moderate willing to work with Democrats. According to FiveThirtyEight, Gardner has voted in line with President Donald Trump’s policies 89.1% of the time — a shockingly high number for a supposedly moderate senator in a historic swing state. According to The Colorado Sun, “Cory Gardner has voted to confirm 98% of Trump’s judicial nominees,” only voting against four out of 214 total federal nominees. Moreover, ProPublica reports
that Gardner has only voted against his party 3.5% of the time in the five years he’s served in the U.S. Senate. Gardner has continually put his political affiliations above the wishes of his constituents and does not seem to recognize the gravity of his decision to bypass Ginsburg’s dying wish. As Vox reports, “Colorado used to be solidly Republican, but an influx of young, liberal voters has turned the state blue.” These voters will likely not look kindly on Gardner’s inability to look past his party, which will not be helped by the ignorance of voter opinions on the replacement of one of the most iconic women, let alone justices, of the 21st century. Voting to wait to confirm a SCOTUS nominee will not undo the years of policymaking and broken promises Gardner hasn’t delivered on. It would, however, give him the chance to show voters that he has the ability to put partisanship aside in favor of the greater good. As Ginsburg said, “I would like to be remembered as someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability.” Every senator, including Gardner, should want their work to inspire greatness.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
A message regarding safety from the CSU Pandemic Preparedness Team By Guest Author @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. Letters to the Editor reflect the view of a member of the campus community and are submitted to the publication for approval. The CSU Pandemic Preparedness Team thanks CSU students for doing their part to slow the spread of COVID-19 and answers the big question: What is wastewater testing? Dear CSU students, Thank you all for everything you’re doing this semester to help keep our community healthy. You’ve taken on some incredible new challenges, tackling the college experience while physically distancing, wearing a mask and limiting your gatherings to small numbers. Thank you. We see your hard work and encourage you to keep it up; the number of positive COVID-19 cases in our community is growing, and we need your commitment to keep everyone healthy. You’ve no doubt heard by now that the University is conducting COVID-19 wastewater testing. That means that the University’s public health team is running regular tests on the water that you flush down your residence hall toilets. If the team finds a high enough concentra-
tion of the virus in that wastewater from a particular residence hall, that indicates that some students living in the building have COVID-19. There may be an “eww” factor here, but from a science standpoint, this testing strategy is helping CSU stay open this fall by keeping all of you healthy. Here’s how: ■ The wastewater test picks up the virus at very low concentrations (as in one person in hundreds), which means we can detect the virus well before it has spread. ■ Because wastewater testing picks up the virus even at very low concentrations, it is ideal for populations — like people your age — who may have COVID-19 but not have any symptoms. This is critically important because, to date, all of the students who have tested positive for COVID-19 as part of this strategy have learned that they were infected though early detection. ■ That’s the next key: We’re mandating testing immediately in buildings where wastewater results indicate positive COVID-19 cases to help slow the spread. ■ Then we’re asking students who are positive to self-isolate in rooms we’ve set aside, and during those two weeks we are delivering meals to them and helping them manage academics, drastically reducing the spread of the virus. ■ Finally, our public health office quickly traces anyone who may have had close contact with a COVID-19-positive student, and those individuals are quarantined. ■ To date, because of wastewater results, we’ve run more than 16,000 nasal swab tests of students, faculty and staff in University housing or workplace buildings. Through this strategy, the University immediately mandates
testing for the students who live in these halls where COVID-19 is detected and in the past have identified the few in each hall who had COVID-19. We helped these students self-isolate appropriately, contact traced their close contacts and asked them to quarantine and took all the other recommended public health precautions. If virus concentration levels in wastewater samples reach a mark that indicates more than a handful of people have COVID-19, the University can act swiftly to take broader steps, like we did this week in quarantining Braiden and Summit halls, while we work to identify those who are infected. So please: If you receive a message telling you to get tested, come down to the testing location right away. By doing so, you help keep everyone healthy and help CSU stay open. The nasal swab test we are using is not the painful, deep sinus test you may have heard about. You administer the test on yourself, and you only need to swab part of the way into your nostril. It’s as fast, easy and as painless as we can make it, and it’s also free. We are pleased that our COVID-19 numbers are currently low and that our testing strategy is working. And we know that this current success is largely thanks to all of you. You are proving every day that Rams take care of Rams. Thanks for helping us provide in-person classes and keep our community healthy. Sincerely, The CSU Pandemic Preparedness Team Letters may be sent to letters@ collegian.com. When submitting letters, please abide by the guidelines listed at Collegian.com.

PINBALL >> from page 1 “My favorite show at PBJ was our second album release,” said Jeremy Long, Satellite Pilot’s auxiliary percussionist. “Our friends in the Crooked Rugs pulled off such an incredible Beatles cover set that directly complimented a swamp themed Valentine’s Day show. I’m telling you, if that show were anywhere other than PBJ, it wouldn’t resonate the same.” Lead singer Caleb McFadden of Chess at Breakfast said that he feels Pinball Jones pioneered the DIY scene by creating a safe place for people to share their music. It showed that if you want to have a place for live music, all you need is a spot that’s big enough for a band and a community that wants to be a part of it. “It was almost like a pop-up,” McFadden said. “And it was a really good symbol for like, (putting) a venue wherever the f*ck you

sometimes it felt like it was the only place that did, other than a few house venues,” said Noah Shockley, drummer for Satellite Pilot. “Pinball Jones will be remembered as the place that did it right.” With the closure of so many venues, it’s hard to see what the future might hold for musicians, especially smaller local bands. Most of the venues that played predominantly local music are gone or are struggling to stay afloat right now. “It’s gonna be a little more disappointing when we get the go-ahead to (play shows) again,” McFadden said. “Where are bands gonna go? Like, Pinball Jones is gone, Hodi’s is gone, Artery’s gone.” According to a study from the National Independent Venue Association, 90% of independent venues will close permanently in the next few months without federal funding. On top of this, most of a musician’s money also comes from live shows, so the entire scene is struggling.
“I think it (Pinball Jones) felt so special because it really worked alongside all the artists in the area to create a community where everyone felt comfortable. I always felt good about playing a PBJ show because I knew I would see countless familiar and friendly faces when I got there.”

want. You know, ‘this space is big enough, let’s do it here.’” Chess at Breakfast played plenty of memorable shows at Pinball Jones, including one where they opened up for the Illuminati Hotties, a touring band from Los Angeles. “Every night there’s music happening there,” said Mike Davis, drummer for Chess at Breakfast. “So if someone wants to hear live music — boom, that was the place to go.” Former Pinball Jones sound engineer Joe Wood said that he also feels that the venue was so unique because of its commitment to the DIY scene. He said all the money people paid at the door went to the staff and bands, not to the venue. Finding a place to play as a local band is one thing, but finding a place that will pay you helps start a career in music. “Pinball Jones supported this community, and
“Everybody’s hurting financially so you don’t even really wanna be like ‘Hey, send us money,’” Davis said. However, this isn’t an end to the music scene. In a place like Fort Collins, where there’s a large community of musicians and fans, the scene should bounce back. It will take time and a lot of hard work, but it is possible, and most local musicians are ready to take on the project. “Of course you have venues to support what was going on, but it’s not like the venues made it happen,” Joe Wood said. “It was the community that made it happen.” As McFadden said, Pinball Jones pioneered the spirit of finding a space and turning it into not just a venue but a community for live music. With this spirit, there are hopes for a revival of our music scene when things begin to reopen. Maddy Erskine can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

No more just dreaming of fall, it is finally here. Whether we like it or not, cooler weather will soon be upon us. That means it is time to switch out your pastels with warmer tones and floral dresses with leather pants.
Sweater vests are a bit of a new-comer trend this year, but have quickly become a fall staple. Once photos of fashion bloggers styling these oversized vests started flooding social media, there was no turning back.
These are the trends you should add to your wardrobe this season:

Don’t miss the ACT film festival’s virtual screening this year By Kailey Pickering @PickeringKailey
The Fort Collins ACT annual film festival will be celebrating over 20 films advocating for social justice through streaming the films Oct. 1-10. Fort Collins has been participating in the ACT Human Rights Film Festival since April 2016. While ACT’s website says there are many human rights film festivals worldwide, the event in Fort Collins is the only one in Colorado. In addition to this film festival, Fort Collins’ ACT established year-long screenings in February 2019. “ACT Human Rights Film Festival presents new, critically-acclaimed films that artistically explore human rights and social justice issues,” said Beth Seymour, the managing director of the festival. “Film is a uniquely powerful medium that builds empathy, opens minds and empowers audiences. ACT’s programs ask audiences to both bear witness to troubling human rights violations and to also celebrate collective action or individual heroism.” Here is a list of 10 out of 21 films ACT will be streaming virtually this year: “Aswang,” directed by Alyx Ayn Arumpac This film follows the stories of people in the Philippines who suffer from the rule of President Rodrigo Duterte. Director Arumpac catches every part of the suffering in the community, from the dead bodies on the streets to the overpopulated prisons. Arumpac shows bravery through acts of a few citizens and forms a metaphor of a river monster, the Aswang, impacting the community. This film will only be avail-

able for viewing on Oct. 2-6. “Betye Saar: Taking Care of Business,” directed by Christine Turner This eight-minute film tells the story of 94-year-old Betye Saar, who continues to fight inequality as an African American woman through her artwork. “Once Upon a Time in Venezuela,” directed by Anabel Rodríguez Ríos This film captures the travesty of Venezuelan villages impacted by the proximity of oil drilling facilities. The shots capture the contaminated water the people live in. Triggered by these communities, the story of this film falls into two women in opposite political positions who want to see a change in the Venezuelan communities. “Havana, From on High,” directed by Pedro Ruiz Among Havana’s lack of sufficient housing and a decrease in tourism, director Pedro Ruiz takes his stand on the top of Havana. Ruiz films his documentary on roofs, getting shots of the aging city and interviewing Cubans who have been severely impacted by the environment they stand above. Ruiz captures Havana in a unique way that showcases the city and its people. “The Gender Line,” directed by T.J. Parsell T.J. Parsell tells the story of Cidny Bullens. Bullens is a transgender musician who once sang with Elton John’s band. Bullens tells of how he experienced both sides of the gender line. “Shadow Flowers,” directed by Seung-Jun Yi Many North Koreans travel to South Korea as defectors to escape their country. However, upon arrival, they experience separation anxiety, discrimina-

tion and culture shock. This film follows a North Korean woman, Kim Ryun-hee, who left North Korea to save enough money for a medical operation. She was soon placed on the South Korean watchlist, and she overcomes many challenges. “Again,” directed by Mario Pfeifer This film tells the story of an immigrant in Germany who faced discrimination. In a supermarket, four men beat this 21-year-old Kurdish immigrant to death. His murderers were treated like heroes. The film uses the real footage of the event as well as reenactments in stores to see how people react versus how the community reacted in Germany. The film shows how deeply rooted racism is in our culture.
“Hiplet: Because We Can,” directed by Addison Wright This film shows a unique dance that combines hip-hop and urban styles. Through this “Hiplet” dance, the film tells the stories of the adversity African American girls have overcome in the dancing community. “Balolé, the Golden Wolf,” directed by Aïcha Chloé Boro In Burkina Faso, a west African country, people have gained freedom but face violent and inhumane work conditions. With no unions and no worker’s rights, people are forced to work in extreme environments to make a living. Director Aïcha Chloé Boro shows this through the different people suffering through these conditions, from children believing they will have no future to two workers
who have to lead a group of men who want justice for their mistreatment. Boro has developed a film to bring light to these situations. This film will only be available for viewing Oct. 8-10. “Call Center Blues,” directed by Geeta Gandbhir This story follows four people in Tijuana, Mexico, who face challenges like deportation, migration and displacement. Each person has a different story and are linked by their displacement. Don’t miss out on these stories. CSURams is the student discount code for half-off tickets.

Mountain West votes for Hikes around Fort Collins: Enjoying football to return Oct. 24 the outdoors close to home

Mountain West football is back. On Thursday night, the Mountain West Board of Directors approved an eight-game, conference-only schedule kicking off on Oct. 24. The season will culminate in the Mountain West title game, which is set to be played on Dec. 19. The Mountain West is one of the latest conferences to join the Big Ten conference in changing their initial decision of indefinite postponement on fall sports. The Pac-12 and Mid-American Conference will also be returning following announcements last week they will be playing football this fall. The Pac-12 will play a seven-game season commencing Nov. 6 and the MAC will play a six-game season starting on Nov. 4, both conference-only competition, according to ESPN. The official update regarding the return of football on the Mountain West website indicated the conference’s partnership with Quest Diagnostics to be a significant reason as to why football can be played this fall. “The agreement with Quest delivers frequent testing with rapid results, providing a major step forward for sport competition to resume,” the statement said. “The Mountain West will require all football student-athletes, coaches, trainers and other individuals that
are on the field to undergo testing three times per week.” While exciting, all promise of play is still contingent on state, county and local approvals. The update does not mention concrete guidelines set forth by the conference in regards to how each program will handle fans for the new fall season. Joe Parker, the Colorado State University athletic director, provided a CSU-centric update on the CSU Athletics website outlining how CSU looks to tackle the new season, likely doing so without fans. “At this time, we do not anticipate that we will host fans for the four home games inside Canvas Stadium,” Parker said. “We will continue to work closely with our state, county and University health officials to evaluate if the current no-fan status can change at some point.” While no official schedule for football has been announced yet, Parker provided updates on numerous other CSU sports and their return-to-play timeline: ■ “Basketball season may begin Nov. 25. ■ Volleyball season may take place Jan. 22, 2021 – April 3, 2021. ■ Cross Country season may take place Jan. 30, 2021 – March 5, 2021. ■ Women’s soccer season may take place Feb. 3, 2021 – April 17, 2021.” Scott Nies can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, there seems to have been a rush to the outdoors as people search for a way to get away from highly-populated areas. Colorado has always been a hub for all things outdoors, and some of these experiences aren’t that far from home for Fort Collins locals. The foothills and surrounding areas offer many different ways to get out and enjoy the wonders of nature, and hiking trails are some of the best ways to achieve those experiences. Here’s a short list of some close-to-home, must-hike locations near the City that hikers of all skill and fitness levels can enjoy. Horsetooth Mountain If you’re a Fort Collins resident and you haven’t experienced the splendor of Horsetooth Mountain, I recommend you come out of the hole you’ve been hiding in and hike this trail. The trail to Horsetooth Rock is a 2.1-mile scenic route of twists and curves through the wooded slopes of the foothills that’s capped off with an easily accessible and fun climb to the top of the rock where an incredible view of the reservoir, Fort Collins and the surrounding Front Range awaits. This hike is friendly to hikers of all skill levels, and if 4.2 miles in a round trip seems a little bit above your means, that’s totally fine. The Horsetooth Falls Trail is just as scenic with meadow views and vegetation and comes out to just a 2.4mile round trip. You have no excuse to not give these hikes a try.
Devil’s Backbone Located just off of State Highway 34 in west Loveland, this trail is as unique in its experience as it is in appearance. As you pull into the parking lot, the first thing you’ll notice is the immaculate rock formations that form the ridge that is the trail’s namesake. From there, the trailhead is easy to find. This trail is great for those looking for an easily-traversable hike, as most of the trail is pretty consistent in elevation, making it great for novice hikers. The total length of the trail comes out to about 4.3 miles with great views of the foothills and surrounding grasslands. Not only that, but this trail is also dog and horse-friendly so your animal friends can tag along and will enjoy this trail just as much as you will. Hikers be warned, however — tree cover on this trail is sparse, so be prepared with ample amounts of drinking water and sun protection to maximize your safety and enjoyment. Arthur’s Rock Located just north of Horsetooth in Lory State Park, the spectacular views and experiences of Arthur’s Rock are often overshadowed by its famous neighbor. The difficulty and elevation changes of this trail are similar to Horsetooth, offering about a 1,100 foot change in elevation along the trail. This trail is a bit steeper, however, with a shorter round-trip distance of about 3.4 miles. The trail offers a plethora of experiences for hikers of all skillsets. The winding trail will take you up the wooded and rocky hills be-
fore splitting in two. Novice hikers may opt to continue on the main trail, but hikers looking for a more challenging route to the summit may want to try the Howard Trail. Whichever route you take, you can expect to be treated to splendid meadow views from the many overlooks as well as a short climb to the top of the rock. Once there, the glistening waters of Horsetooth Reservoir and the surrounding meadows make for a breathtaking reward. Emerald Lake For those who don’t mind driving for some of the most spectacular views in the county and even the state, I highly recommend making the trip to Rocky Mountain National Park and visiting the Emerald Lake trail. With only a 3.5-mile roundtrip distance and 650 foot change in elevation, novice hikers will enjoy this trail just as much as experienced ones. The trail winds through the beautifully forested terrain of the Rockies with many picturesque overlooks along the way. The final destination of the hike is truly spectacular, with the beautiful, turquoise-colored lake nestled among a stunning backdrop of jagged rocks and mountains. The fun doesn’t stop at the top either, as there is a multitude of bouldering and fishing opportunities that are sure to please any outdoor enthusiast. If this hike interests you, I recommend starting your day early to ensure a quiet and serene nature experience, as this is a very popular destination in the summer and fall seasons.

Why the NBA GOAT conversation needs to end By Tyler Meguire @TMeguire
The endless GOAT conversation between LeBron James and Michael Jordan is as prominent as ever with “The Last Dance” coming out in April and James going to the finals for the 10th time. Sports fans, we, for some reason, feel the need to compare. We compare everything. People will feel the need to bring up “LeBron versus MJ” in every situation ever — even when it does not apply. The debate, for some reason, is structured to make one person love one player and hate the other. There is no reason for that. There is nothing wrong with loving Jordan and James. Why people leave Kareem Abdul-Jabbar out of the conversation is beyond me. As basketball fans, it is time to end the debate and appreciate James while we have him — because his time will soon be up. Before “The Last Dance” aired, I understood what was coming. A barrage of Jordan versus James takes and opinions. Why Jordan is the best and James sucks and vice versa. I knew it was coming, and that is why I removed myself from the conversation. Remember when Kobe Bryant tragically passed away and everyone started saying, “Why were we even comparing players and not appreciating greatness?” Remember when Bryant expressed his dislike for comparing players and everyone was circulating that clip, saying, “You know what? He’s right. Let’s just appreciate greatness.” Yeah, that lasted about five minutes because basketball fans feel like comparing players is an absolute necessity and their heads might explode if they can’t tell you five reasons why player A is significantly better than player B, when in reality, both players are still part of a group that can be considered the greatest athletes in the world. I am glad that the young adult who has never witnessed Jordan play other than watching his highlights and a documentary structured to make the man look like a god can tell me I am wrong for thinking James is a good basketball player. That’s why I have been saying for years that this comparison is impossible unless you watch every single Jordan game ever. Maybe not ever, but go watch his bad games and good games. Most people cannot even formulate an argument for both sides, meaning they haven’t
thought enough about the topic and are not willing to even give the other side a chance. That is the epitome of what’s wrong with this debate. I will mostly be talking about each of these incredible athletes’ off-court achievements with some on-court mixed in. Everyone who follows this debate knows a lot about the accolades from these players, so there is not much need for it right now. To me, the GOAT qualifications do not end on the court — it’s about the overall impact an athlete has on and off the court. But not everyone thinks that way, and that’s fine. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Abdul-Jabbar is often left out of the conversation, and I still do not understand why. He was so dominant that he was speculated to cause the NCAA to ban dunking.

Nike was not a thing Longevity matters. James has
won three NBA titles, four MVP awards and three Finals MVP. Similar to Abdul-Jabbar and Jordan, James should have more MVPs, but unfortunately, there is a thing called voter fatigue. James has made a large impact on the court. He uses his voice and platform to advocate for social justice. One of the biggest things he has done is open the I Promise School, which is “dedicated to those students who are already falling behind and in danger of falling through the cracks,” according to their website. He also has the LeBron James Family Foundation, which serves over 1,400 Akron-area students with resources to succeed in school and beyond. The foundation has also pledged to provide Akron’s students with full scholarships to the University of Akron, which could accumulate to $41 million. You can have your GOAT and that’s fine. But why limit yourself to one of these guys when you could just appreciate their impact on and off the court and have three GOATs? Guess what? You are allowed to like Jordan, Abdul-Jabbar and James. There’s nothing wrong with that. The GOAT conversation needs to be done because it is the most toxic debate in the NBA. Sports allow us to escape an everlasting negative reality for brief windows of time. By having these debates, it brings negativity to a place structured for happiness. That seems like a waste of time to me. Tyler Meguire can be reached at sports@collegian.com.
