CSU students reflect on voting as they leave the polls Election Day brought new and old voters to the CSU polling station, many being 18- to 23-year-olds By Laura Studley @laurastudley_

Students at Colorado State University lined up Nov. 3 to cast their ballots, many of them voting for the first time. According to data released by CNN this year, there were more than 100 million people who voted nationwide before Election Day. These votes made up more than 47% of registered voters. In 2020, 18- to 23-year-olds are one of largest groups of voters. In 2019, a report from the Pew Research Center projected that this age group would make up 1 in 10 eligible voters in the 2020 electorate. “Among 18- to 29-year-olds, voter turnout went from 20% in 2014 to 36% in 2018, the largest percentage point increase for any age group — a 79% jump,” according to 2019 data provided by the United States Census Bureau. CSU students were able to vote by dropping off their ballot or voting in person at the Lory Student Center. “In the last election, I was 17,” junior Aubrey Johnston said. “It’s pretty crazy because, finally, I feel like I can have an impact on what happens, and (it) becomes way more real once you show up and you see everyone doing it.” Freshman Liz Tiefenbach explained the overwhelming feeling of voting for the first time, stating that researching was one of the more difficult parts. “Because it’s such a highstakes election, (it) felt somehow oddly important,” Tiefenbach said. “I had to be fully educated on every single candidate on the ballot. It was a little overwhelming in that sense, but it also felt really good to be able to participate for once instead of just observing.” Junior Alberto Maldonado stated that it felt good to vote, explaining that it is necessary for everyone to do so. see VOTING on page 4 >>

ASCSU discusses U+2, support for Indigenous students he encouraged the senators to get involved. The senate then moved on to the election and ratification of officers. Three positions were open for the Legislative Strategy Advisory Board.

“I think it’s imperative we provide affordable and available housing to all students, regardless of income. I think getting rid of U+2 will allow (for) that.” EHRET NOTTINGHAM SENATOR

Senator Kyle Hill ran for one of the positions and said he wants to work on outreach and dedication to the will of the voters. Hill said that he wants to change the U+2 laws. “We were definitely cheated by Fort Collins to limit the size of the house to three persons,” Hill

said. “Being told what to do shows disdain and distrust to college students.” Hill also said he wants to have better collaboration with the Fort Collins community and wants students to have a larger say in Fort Collins. “It’s our duty, as senators, to make sure every student stays safe here,” Hill said. Senator Ehret Nottingham ran for one of the positions and said that he wants to be more involved in the City decisions. Nottingham said he wants to not only tackle issues such as U+2 but also problems such as food insecurity in Fort Collins. “I’m not a fan of U+2,” Nottingham said. “I think it’s imperative we provide affordable and available housing to all students regardless of income. I think getting rid of U+2 will allow (for) that. I think it’s our duty and basic sense of morality.” Nottingham said the only things he would never compromise on are issues of social justice and discrimination, but he said he is used to working with differing opinions.

Associate Senator Isaiah Dennings ran for one of the positions and said he wants to work on connections and collaborations between colleges. He said he has stakes in a lot of different things and hopes to have more cohesion between colleges and with the larger Fort Collins community. “Being on this board, I can add a lot of insights,” Dennings said. “I can help students feel more integrated within the Fort Collins community. You should feel just as much a CSU Ram as you do a Fort Collins citizen.” Senator Michael Townsend ran for one of the positions and said they want to help policy makers understand student positions on different issues, especially U+2. After deliberation, Nottingham, Dennings and Townsend were elected to the board. As the senate session moved into its third hour, Senator Lizzy Osterhoudt introduced and answered questions about her COVID-19 Indigenous Travel Grant bill. Read more at collegian.com.

The sixth session of the Associated Students of Colorado State University senate started with the swearing in of new senators and associates. This included two new senators. After the swearing in, a guest speaker from the department of political science, Matthew Hitt, spoke about how the ASCSU senate can bridge divides and lead in a successful manner for the rest of the school year. Hitt also talked about election anxiety and how everyone is affected by the results of the national election. “Something big, major and emotional is going on,” Hitt said. “What we’ve seen is a collapse of social identity outside of politics onto politics.” Hitt said that people tend to solidify their political views at a college age and tend to stick with the same political party. “What this means is during an election it feels like that other political team is threatening not just

your politics but who you are and your core values,” Hitt said. Casey Key, a gallery member, provided some evidence for the COVID-19 Indigenous Students’ Travel Grant, which would be debated later on in the agenda. Key talked about how he was homeless after helping to teach 300 Indigenous students about physics during spring break. He said that once the event was over, there were still three days of break, and his dorm was not open. He said he couldn’t afford to drive home and back, so he had to sleep in his car and in a computer lab. Key said he wasn’t able to work on a research project and got reported as homeless. Key said that made him upset considering how much he pays for tuition. He said he hoped the bill might help future Indigenous students in the same predicament. ASCSU Chief of Staff Jasper Sloss discussed U+2 updates and said there is a possible change this year. He said he hopes students would group up soon to show up at City Council meetings to show that it matters to students, and

Freshman Kiron Blazek shared the same sentiment, stating that it is everyone’s duty to be a voter. Junior political science major Idali Rodriguez said waiting for election results was stressful, stating that a lot of students were experiencing anxiety. “It’s really, really nerve-wracking right now,” Rodriguez said. “I’m not trying to look at social media or anything like that to try and cope with what is going on.” Tiefenbach explained that they are not trying to think about election results. “There’s a lot of stress, and there’s a lot of anticipation and anxiety surrounding everything,” Tiefenbach said. “I’m definitely going to be keeping myself updated, but I’m not going to try and overwhelm myself with that information.” Senior Morgan Bartran said that, although they won’t be directly impacted, others may be. “I think, for a lot of people, (life is) definitely going to be affected, especially directly after,” Bartran said. “I think there’s going to be a lot of unrest, regardless of who wins.”

Johnston echoed Bartran’s thoughts, explaining that violence is a concern after the election results. “I’m a little scared of (the election) because I feel like, especially because of (COVID-19), tensions are high and people have been kind of bottled up,” Johnston said. “So I’m a little scared just for violence, honestly. I hope that nothing horrible happens.” The University provided a polling station for people to go vote, which allowed for increased accessibility, Rodriguez said. “Allowing students to have the opportunity to have a local spot is definitely really helpful,” Rodriguez said. “It’s definitely really accessible for students (who) don’t have the option back home.” Maldonado also said that it was essential to have a place on campus for people to cast their votes. “Not everyone has the accessibility to go out and vote in a poll or mail in their vote,” Maldonado said. “So it’s important that we have these places so we can have a fair shot, so we can show our voice.” Laura Studley can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Traducción: Mayra Reyes Gómez En estos últimos meses, la frase “desfinanciar a la policía” se ha convertido en un grito de protesta tras la muerte de George Floyd. La frase aparece en todas partes, desde máscaras y camisetas a protestas en la calle, pero en realidad, ¿qué significa? ¿Y que implicaría para Fort Collins? Esencialmente, el movimiento para desfinanciar a la policía aboga por la reasignación de algunos fondos de los departamentos de policía hacia los recursos comunitarios, como servicios de salud mental, destinados a prevenir la delincuencia. Esto significa que los sistemas policiales actuales quedarían intactos, solo con reformas con el propósito de aumentar la seguridad y disminuir el uso de la fuerza letal. El alumno de segundo año de universidad y presidente de Rams for Progress (Carneros de CSU para el Avance) Dylan Tusinski apoya este movimiento. “Obviamente creo que lo que necesitamos hacer es desfinanciar a la policía y ya sabes, enfocarnos más en la policía comunitaria”, dijo Tusinski. “Así que no hay que dejar que la policía trate de hacer muchas tareas sin ser expertos. Que haya especialistas para las crisis de salud mental de las personas que consuman drogas, y ese tipo de cosas. No deberíamos dejar que la policía se involucre en todo tipo de asuntos y que no sean capaces de hacer su trabajo incondicionalmente”. El cambio ya se está promulgando a nivel federal. En junio, el Caucus Afroamericano del Congreso presentó la Ley George Floyd de Justicia Policial de 2020, con el fin de reformar el sistema policial de EE.UU. para mejorar los aspectos de seguridad y justicia. El proyecto de ley, que incluía reformas como la prohibición de estranguladores y la clasificación de linchamiento como delito federal, fue aprobado por la Cámara de Representantes y está a la espera de nuevas medidas por parte del Senado. El congresista Joe Neguse del segundo distrito congresista de Colorado, quien ayudó a presentar el proyecto de ley, dijo en un comunicado de prensa que “es hora de crear un cambio estructural con reformas significativas”. Sin embargo, el movimiento para “desfinanciar a la policía” y pasar a centrarse en servicios comunitarios plantea preocupaciones especialmente relacionadas con cómo los departamentos de policía funcionarían frente a la disminución de fondos. “No creo que desfinanciar a la policía vaya a construir o deshacer a la sociedad”, explicó Kira Carmi-

cal, estudiante de la Universidad Estatal de Colorado de primer año. “Creo que necesitamos conservar a la policía, seguir ayudándoles, pero de nuevo, aún vamos a necesitar los fondos para hacerlo. Su meta principal [de la policía] no es hacer algunas de las cosas que hemos visto suceder en las noticias”. En CSU, se están haciendo planes para implementar la incorporación de profesionales de la salud mental “cuando responder con la presencia de la policía solamente no sea la mejor manera de abordar la situación”, escribió Wendy Rich-Goldschmidt, directora ejecutiva interina de seguridad del Departamento de Policía de CSU, en un correo electrónico a The Collegian. Además, escribió, los oficiales se han sometido a entrenamiento para entender “la parcialidad humana relacionada con la etnia y la raza, el género, la orientación sexual, la figura del cuerpo y la edad y cómo estos prejuicios afectan el entrenamiento de capacitación policial para adoptar una perspectiva justa e imparcial”. “El Departamento de Policía de CSU se compromete a un trato equitativo de todos los miembros de nuestra universidad y las comunidades de Fort Collins y Colorado”, comentó Rich-Goldschmidt. En cuanto a la ciudad de Fort Collins, ya se han implementado cambios con el Programa Co-respondedor en Salud Mental de Fort Collins Police Services (Servicios Policiales de Fort Collins, FCPS por sus siglas en inglés), que tiene como objetivo aumentar la seguridad en prácticas policiales al mandar a “co-respondedores” expertos en salud mental a “acompañar a los oficiales a la escena para evaluar y referir a los miembros de la comunidad a los servicios correspondientes”, de acuerdo con la página web de FCPS. En un correo electrónico a The Collegian, Kate Kimble, una representante de FCPS, explicó que “Mediante la asociación colectiva,

miembros del equipo han coordinado satisfactoriamente soluciones de atención a largo plazo en lugar de confiar en herramientas a corto plazo como la cárcel y el cuarto de emergencias de los hospitales”. No obstante, los esfuerzos de reforma no paran allí. El plan de la Ciudad de integrar este programa presenta múltiples versiones. Como se detalla en el correo electrónico, “La primera versión consistía en la co-respuesta tradicional con un modelo de respuesta principal, lo que significa que el clínico viajaba con el oficial en vez de enviarlo desde el departamento después de la llamada”. Ahora en la segunda versión, un paramédico de práctica avanzada junto con un clínico autorizado responden a llamadas junto con la policía y otros respondedores primarios para asegurar que los miembros de la comunidad reciban una respuesta apropiada para su situación, de acuerdo con el correo electrónico de Kimble. En el futuro, dice Kimble, FCPS planea crear una Unidad de Salud Conductual Comunitaria para formar parejas entre un oficial y un médico o un clínico. Estos equipos, “interceptarían todas las llamadas para servicios de salud conductual y/o etiología médica” con el fin de mantener la expectativa de la respuesta policial y al mismo tiempo reconocer que puede ser necesaria intervención externa. “Los oficiales no intentan ser, ni tenían intención de ser personal médico o de salud conductual”, continuó Kimble. “Ellos pretenden asegurar que tengamos comunidades seguras. El enfoque innovador de FCPS para las necesidades de la comunidad merece ser celebrado, ya que representa una mentalidad de futuro y orientada a la comunidad en la que la desescalada no solo es una herramienta que utilizan cuando se necesita, es una mentalidad y un valor fundamental”.

Starting Nov. 4, the feeling of forgetting about something important that lingers at the back of students’ minds is probably a missing assignment, not the Colorado State University daily symptom checker. In a Wednesday afternoon email, the Pandemic Preparedness Team announced a COVID-19 reporter that will replace the daily symptom checker for students, faculty and staff at CSU.

“The new tool — the (COVID-19) reporter — focuses on providing a range of reporting options to students, faculty and staff to better serve our community and better inform CSU public health and pandemic officials of concerns.” THE PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS TEAM

“CSU students, faculty and staff no longer need to fill out the daily symptom checker and no longer need to document for CSU Public Health their daily screening when they are not experiencing symptoms of illness,” the email said. Now, students, faculty and staff only need to report their symptoms if they have any, and the Pandemic Preparedness Team said they should report symptoms as soon as they experience them, even if they are not going to be on campus that day. The Pandemic Preparedness Team wrote in an email to The Collegian that students and employees have submitted over 330,000 screenings since they implemented the daily symptom checker and

that they receive thousands of reports each week. “As the University’s response to the pandemic has evolved, the needs served by the previous symptom checker have also changed,” the Pandemic Preparedness Team wrote. “The new tool — the (COVID-19) reporter — focuses on providing a range of reporting options to students, faculty and staff to better serve our community and better inform CSU public health and pandemic officials of concerns.” According to the new webpage, CSU community members should also submit a report if they have been in close contact with or live with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, have tested positive for COVID-19 themselves or are in the testing process. The COVID-19 reporter also has a form for reporting COVID-19 public health violations that gets routed to the Student Resolution Center. The form can be used to report any violation of the University’s COVID-19 policy that students, faculty and staff are required to follow while on campus. The form requires a date and location of the violation and an explanation of what occurred, along with a designation about the person in alleged violation of the COVID-19 policy, which includes students, University employees or visitors. Included with the COVID-19 reporter is an opportunity for CSU community members to report a concern about their work, school or living space. “Alleviating the previous requirement to check in every day lowers the burden on students, faculty and staff and places the emphasis on reporting when symptoms are present or alerting the University to possible exposures, a positive test at a non-CSU site or other concerns,” the Pandemic Preparedness Team wrote.

CSU students may not be practicing safe sex By Cat Blouch @BlouchCat

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. Colorado State University has always done an adequate job of having open and honest dialogue about sex. It is worked into the campus culture even preceding day one. For those of us who went through the traditional Ram Welcome experience, we were exposed to the conversation surrounding college sex culture during a presentation about consent put on by The Red Whistle Brigade. Additionally, every student is required to undergo the Sexual Assault Prevention online module upon their acceptance here. Practicing safe, consensual sex is emphasized within the CSU community. Most importantly, the concept of consent seems to be the nucleus of the dialogue. However, consent is just one piece of the puzzle of the complicated matrix of practicing safe sex. Getting checked for sexually transmitted diseases before every new sexual partner, using protection like condoms and dental dams and having open and honest communication with sexual partners are all crucial behaviors that should be taught during the discourse of safe sex. While this information may seem like common knowledge, as I brought up in a previous article regarding college students’ behaviors around sexual practices under the influence, direct dissonance to what we are initially taught is not rare. College students’ propensity to not practice all of the activities that are associated with a safe sexual lifestyle is commonplace. We can understand this cognitive dissonance by interpretation of data from a survey I conducted of 482 CSU students who have been or are currently sexually active within the past six months. The frequency of when sexually active people should be getting tested depends on the number of partners you and your potential partner have had within recent months. Dr. Antonio Pizarro, a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist, stated, “If you have a new partner, ideally you both would be tested together ahead of time and have full disclosure.” However, when asked how frequently within the past six months respondents had been tested for STDs, the survey results are as follows: ■ 65.2% said zero times ■ 33.6% said one to three times ■ 1.2% said four to six times

COMIC ILLUSTRATION BY RYAN GREENE @TFOGDOGS GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION BY RACHEL MACIAS THE COLLEGIAN

This isn’t congruent with safe sexual practices given the results of how many partners respondents reported having within the past six months, which was as follows: ■ 88.8% said one to three sexual partners ■ 7.7% said four to six sexual partners ■ 2.1% said seven to nine sexual partners ■ 1.4% said 10 or more sexual partners If we were to use Pizarro’s words as a standard for how often people should be getting checked for STDs, a healthy number would have the frequency in testing align with the number of partners. Since 88.8% of respondents indicated that they had one to three sexual partners within the past six months, behavior aligning with safe sexual practice would then report a similar percentage to the amount of STD tests done. However, the majority of respondents actually said that they haven’t been tested at all. The full disclosure regarding sexual health between partners Pizarro mentions obviously doesn’t always play out, especially during spontaneous hookups many college students engage with. During such situations, the Centers for Disease Control says taking preventative measures like using condoms or dental dams is effective in reducing the risk of contracting an STD. Unfortunately, the data from my survey surrounding the use of condoms and dental dams diverge from data that would reflect safe-sex decisions. Below are the results when respondents were asked the frequency they use either condoms or dental dams during sex. ■ 21.4% said always ■ 21.8% said almost always ■ 13.5% said half the time ■ 15.7% said almost never ■ 27.6% said never It is worth noting that 91% of the respondents who said they never used condoms or dental dams also said they had one to three sexual partners, so it is very probable that many of these individuals are in a monogamous relationship, in which the risk

of contracting an STD is lower. Questionably, however, of those who reported having ten or more partners, 57.1% of those respondents said they never used condoms or dental dams. Ultimately, only 27 of the 482 respondents reported contracting an STD while being sexually active within the CSU community. The majority of those who said they had not ever contracted an STD also reported they haven’t been tested at all for an STD, so it’s likely that the number could actually be higher.

“It is still the responsibility of the University to do its due diligence to ensure that students know the risks of unsafe sexual practices and STDs alike.”

Furthermore, the majority of respondents who reported having had contracted an STD said that they never wore condoms or dental dams, supporting the aforementioned advice by sexual health professionals regarding the use of said preventative measures. Perhaps trends that point in the direction of college-aged students not practicing safe sex is par for the course, but it is still the responsibility of the University to do its due diligence to ensure that students know the risks of unsafe sexual practices and STDs alike. Just as we emphasize the importance of consent, we should emphasize the importance of STD prevention. While the discussion of CSU’s responsibility to encourage STD prevention is brought into question, you can stay self-informed in the meantime. Remember that sexual education is crucial for both the good of your health and the health of your partners. Cat Blouch can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

TikTok promotes sexism and internalized misogyny By Bella Eckburg @yaycolor

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. I’m sure that you have heard the phrase “I’m not like other girls.” It’s become popularized as a meme about young women who separate themselves from female stereotypes due to not fitting into the mold. They’re “not like other girls,” and that’s the reason they should be desired more than a “regular girl.” This meme that we so frequently see on TikTok, compared to reality, is niche. You might know someone who does this, but you’re more likely to know someone who makes jokes about it because it has grown into a phenomenon across the internet. Assigning yourself to the “not like other girls” culture is stunting your growth and outwardly projecting internalized misogyny. Use TikTok at your own discretion, but make sure that you are aware of internalized misogyny/ sexism, and check yourself. According to a Psychology Today article, internalized sexism is “the tendency of some women to regularly put down, make disparaging remarks about and/or sabotage their own or other women’s and girls’ identity, potential and success.” In an interview conducted by

Forbes with Kieran Mathew, CEO and founder of Amplify, a marketing company, Mathew stated, “More than 40% of TikTok users are aged 16-24, and 90% of those users go on the app more than once daily.” With TikTok having amassed over 2 billion global downloads as of August, according to CNBC, this means a significant amount of college students across the country find themselves browsing TikTok at any given time and exposing themselves to the messages it offers. Being “not like other girls” is not a bad thing. It’s more than OK to not fit into stereotypical feminine roles. But we can see a shift occurring: Those who are “othering” themselves from stereotypes also discourage potential partners from having an interest in girls who are “like other girls.” The TikTok algorithm is designed to curate every user’s “For You” page based on their app history (liking videos, following other users, etc.). For those who are interested in learning more about TikTok’s algorithm, Louise Matsakis wrote a great article for Wired on the way the algorithm works and how content is distributed on the app. You are interacting with content that matches the interests you have. Those who have similar interests are then also grouped together into sides, which TikTokers named Straight and Alt. Straight TikTok is known for users such as Charli D’Amelio and

Addison Rae, who are known for their videos of them doing popular dances. Alt TikTok is known for more edgy content featuring e-girls/e-boys, eccentric fashion/ makeup, etc. Alt TikTok is also known for engaging with trends popularized in the LGBTQ+ community, making them less likely to be consumed by mainstream (straight) media. There is a rivalry between these sides of TikTok. They’re so divided that the memes created on one side will often not translate to the other and will likely be misunderstood. This rivalry is fun. Neither side actually dislikes the other, but it’s become a new way of othering yourself. Which side are you on, and what does that mean for your identity as a young person? Or as a young woman? “I’m not like other girls,” falling on the Alt TikTok side, is not just about being unique; it’s about being “better” because of your uniqueness and putting those you deem less unique down for being too stereotypically feminine. As TikTok grows in popularity and new users continue to increase, separations form and, due to being so covert, become normalized. So “you’re not like other girls.” That’s fine, but what’s wrong with being like other girls? Read more at collegian.com. Bella Eckburg can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

CSU athletics department investigated over ethical concerns >> from page 1 By Scott Nies @scott_nies98

The Collegian initially reported on the findings of the Husch Blackwell investigation on Oct. 7, regarding the alleged violations of proper COVID-19 protocol by the Colorado State University football program and an overarching culture of racial insensitivity within the athletic department as a whole. The Husch Blackwell investigation ultimately came to two somewhat similar conclusions regarding the allegations first reported in the Coloradoan stories that outlined COVID-19 protocol violation and racial insensitivity concerns.

“A former staff member asserted Athletic Director (Joe) Parker ‘would sweep things under the rug’ when faced with complaints.” HUSCH BLACKWELL INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION REPORT: RACIAL CLIMATE REVIEW

In regard to compliance with COVID-19 protocols, Husch Blackwell found in their Compliance with COVID-19 Protocols Report, “Those concerns were predominantly related to communication, consistency or testing policies rather than intentional noncompliance with the protocols.” Furthermore, the investigation stated the main concerns of those worried about protocol compliance was “generally identified issues within the areas of communication, testing protocols, contact tracing, ... quarantine procedures and consistency between teams.” One theme was an apparent lack of transparency between the athletic department and various staff members and teams. The report cited a staff member who reportedly encouraged the athletic department to better communicate this issue. “At this point, they need to overcommunicate,” the staff member said. “During these times, you can never be too careful or communicate too much.” The Collegian attempted to reach out to the athletic department to get comments re-

garding the initial allegations of COVID-19 procedure violations and racial insensitivity but were denied all attempts to contact staff and student-athletes. The football team’s issues regarding COVID-19 protocols stretch all the way back to late July, when the team voluntarily stopped all football-related activities after receiving eight positive tests since athletes returned to campus in June. COVID-19-related issues are still present, as the Rams had their first game of the season against the University of New Mexico canceled due to COVID-19 precautions. Even as CSU was cleared to play its first game against California State University, Fresno, the team was without star sophomore wide receiver Dante Wright due to contact tracing implications that ruled him out for the game, according to Eddie Herz of the Loveland Reporter-Herald. July also saw the CSU football team reeling from an act of prejudice against one of its players. Barry Wesley, a CSU offensive lineman, was working as a door-to-door roofing salesman when he was held down at gunpoint by Loveland resident Scott Gudmundsen on unfounded accusations that Wesley was a part of antifa.

Alongside claims regarding the football program’s possible violations of COVID-19 protocols, The Coloradoan reported on allegations centered around the perception of a culture of racial insensitivity within the athletic department. This resulted in CSU President Joyce McConnell requesting Husch Blackwell to investigate racial discrimination as well.

In the conclusion of their Racial Climate Review, Husch Blackwell indicated the issues were not a systemic department issue. “We believe that perceptions of the racial climate on individual teams and within the athletic department have been shaped by recent national events and the resulting discourse around racial justice and equity,” the report reads. The report shows that these claims stem from previous coaching tenures rather than from head coach Steve Addazio’s current occupation with the team and states, “The specific allegations reported in the local media against head coach Addazio were not substantiated during the investigation.” Many current players immediately refuted these allegations against Addazio and his current staff. Star tight end Trey McBride and sophomore wide receiver Ty McCullouch were outspoken on social media, and many players reshared their posts, indicating widespread support for Addazio. This culminated in an open letter to the CSU community under the tag #CSUUnited, which claimed that all allegations against the new head coach and the current staff are “leveled by individuals who are not associated with our current football team.” The letter then proceeded to call out former, but anonymous, members of the program. “The unfounded allegations from a disgruntled former coach and/or unnamed source is unfair, unjust and creates the exact demeaning and painful wounds that can be caused by racism,” the letter read. In regard to the findings of the investigation, Addazio stated in a virtual press conference, “In the conclusions, there was no justification for the slanderous comments, for the inaccurate accusations on either front, COVID-19 or racial insensitivity.” The report outlines specific instances of racial insensitivity, but notes that the claims were not asked to be substantiated. “We were not asked to determine the veracity of any specific allegation or incident,” the report stated. “Therefore, inclusion of a given allegation in this report does not reflect a determination that it occurred as reported.” Mike Hooker, the director of media relations and Denver outreach for CSU, said that the investigation focused on the experiences more than the evidence of witnesses. “The investigators focused on the perceptions of the individual witnesses,” Hooker stated in an email to The Collegian. “In other words, the investigation report included a compilation of all of the information gathered and not just statements corrob-

orated by other witnesses or determined to be accurate.” “This allowed the University community and the public to understand both similar and divergent opinions gathered about the allegations, as well as common themes,” Hooker said. Numerous claims within the investigation date back to former head coach Mike Bobo’s time with the team. According to the report, one former player alleged that Bobo told the team on several occasions, “I know a lot of you guys don’t have fathers, but when you are here, I can be your daddy.”

“Some witnesses expressed skepticism regarding the athletic director’s commitment to addressing racial bias incidents and the broader culture within the athletic department.” HUSCH BLACKWELL INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION REPORT: RACIAL CLIMATE REVIEW

Although the report stated Bobo’s comments were reported by a former player to Athletic Director Joe Parker, Parker denied this. Various unnamed staff members came out in support of Bobo and disputed these racial abuse allegations. According to the report, a Black female staff member stated, “Bobo has been nothing but great to her and was the most supportive coach she has ever worked for.” The Post and Courier, a newspaper in Charleston, South Carolina, reported on the racial abuse allegations directed toward Bobo, quoting the University of South Carolina athletic director, Ray Tanner, who indicated USC’s awareness of these allegations and that USC is “in the process of doing our due diligence and (has) already been in contact with the administration at Colorado State and with coach Bobo to gain more information and to determine the facts.” This was the only comment USC has made in regard to the allegations against Bobo, and there have been no public comments since about the report’s findings. The report further indicated that, amid all the allegations, there was a continuous theme of concern surrounding Parker’s handling of racial and personnel issues within the athletic department. “A former staff member asserted Athletic Director Parker ‘would sweep things under the

rug’ when faced with a complaint,” the report said. This report cites concerns around Parker’s handling of the issues surrounding former men’s basketball coach Larry Eustachy. Justin Michael, a former sports editor for The Collegian, reported on the problematic perception surrounding Parker during this investigation back in February 2018. Michael wrote, “Sources say the players cited multiple frustrations with the CSU athletic department, including a lack of transparency from Athletic Director Joe Parker.” This sentiment of frustration and an inability to address a problematic culture was routinely echoed throughout the Husch Blackwell report. The report stated, “A third staff member stated that he reported concerns to Athletic Director Parker through the ‘chain of command’ but that nothing has been done to address them.” The report’s conclusion cites witnesses whose viewpoints suggest discontent with Parker’s history of handling these types of issues. It is stated, “Some witnesses expressed skepticism regarding the athletic director’s commitment to addressing racial bias incidents and the broader culture within the athletic department.” The Collegian reached out to the athletic department for a comment on these concerns, but the athletic department repeatedly stressed, “The letter from President McConnell is our statement on this matter, and we have nothing more to add.” In McConnell’s letter, she outlined numerous resources that were recommended in the investigation’s conclusion to better establishes a climate of racial sensitivity. She also stated, “Going forward and effective immediately, CSU Athletics will engage even more actively with those resources, make our student-athletes and Athletics staff aware of these resources and respond quickly and with compassion to any expressed concerns.” Scott Nies can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

As a history major, I have always thought there is a lot to learn by studying the past — not just in studying wars and the historical figures who fought them but in studying everyday people and events. When I first started at The Collegian, I became infatuated — some may say obsessed —

with the collection of “Silver Spruce” yearbooks. These yearbooks offered a glimpse into life and campus 20, 40 and even 100 years ago. Through all the changes in student life, fashion and academia this past century, one thing has remained constant: growth. Despite the Spanish flu of 1918 and the years following, Colorado State University persevered. In the years surrounding World War II,

classes persisted, offering stability in an unstable world. In the height of paranoia during the Cold War, we were building dorms and classrooms on campus. I believe the greatest teacher and comforter is history: It shows us that we are not alone in feeling troubled and stressed about the future. All these feelings and thoughts going through my head led me to create this project highlighting

the growth of CSU through the years. As you look through the images and note the changes to our campus, remember that in uncertain times, growth has persisted. Featured here is a collection of photos from our past and my modern rendition of those photos. Luke Bourland can be reached at photoarchive@ rockymountainstudentmedia.com.

MUSIC

Impacts of COVID-19 on Colorado music scene, part 2 By Ty Davis @TyDavisACW

People may expect local artists to turn to livestream performances in the pandemic, but that wasn’t the case for every artist. While bands like Chess at Breakfast and The Sogs cited success with using the format, rapper Mitchell James said that livestreaming, in his opinion, was not conducive to the way rappers perform for an audience. Others simply didn’t feel it would be of much benefit or did not want to perform without the energy and interactivity of the crowd. For bands that either don’t have as much recognition in their community or are just starting, do-it-yourself venues present a way to spread awareness, get practice with performing in front of an audience and, possibly, gain the attention of larger venues. The venues, which were a staple of the Fort Collins music scene, ceased operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic with no clear idea on when many of them would return. But in July of this year, house venue Under The Willow, formed by Alex Woodchek and Corey Wright, reopened after a brief hiatus for artists to use its large backyard to perform socially distanced shows. “With so many of our friends who are musicians, there was this collective feeling of dread, ache and longing for the live music space,” Woodchek said. “Zoom shows just don’t quite cut it, so we really wanted to meet that desire in our community.” Woodchek and Wright promised they are taking every precaution to ensure the safety of attendees and artists and are following a multitude of guidelines, including those set by Larimer County. These claims were corroborated by Nolan Brumbach of The Crooked Rugs, who performed at the venue. While Woodchek and Wright said they have not had to deal with anyone refusing to follow the guidelines, they are prepared to take appropriate measures to handle the situation. The Bohemian Foundation,

through the NoCo Music Relief Fund, provided assistance to artists and industry workers who have lost income as a result of the pandemic. It awarded 139 grants to artists and industry professionals across Northern Colorado, totaling $127,000, according to Laura Wilson, the live music manager at the Bohemian Foundation. According to Shannon Hein, a business specialist for the City of Fort Collins, the City has recently finished its second round of applications for Fort Collins’ Small Business Assistance Program, designed to help businesses that have received assistance from the Paycheck Protection Program but may need more help. Recipients of the program have not yet been announced.

“It’s easier to start a DIY venue out of your garage or your house than it would be to start an independent venue in and of itself, and I really do think that as money flows out of the music industry, it will allow for more room for smaller artists and the DIY movement to preside.” AJ FRANKSON VOCALIST FOR JANET EARTH

Art will survive. As long as there’s a person with tools at their disposal, they will create. Given the current situation and predictions, the real question is not “Will art survive?” so much as “How healthy will it be by the time we go back to normal?” Very few artists said they expect to lose local musicians. In fact, many predicted that, since a lot of artists were working-artists to begin with, the number of musicians in Fort Collins would largely stay the same. A few even predicted an influx of new artists who took up music during the pandemic. In the scenario that Fort Collins sees more venues close, many artists said that the DIY music scene will see an influx of new spaces to meet this demand. “It’s easier to start a DIY venue out of your garage or your house than it would be to start an independent venue in and of itself, and I really do think that as money flows out of the music

industry, it will allow for more room for smaller artists and the DIY movement to preside,” said AJ Frankson, vocalist for Janet Earth. Frankson opened her own DIY venue, The Planetarium, in August 2019, but it closed in February. Some artists expressed concern that, once we enter a post-COVID-19 music scene, there will not be enough time and space for local artists to perform at larger venues due to favor toward larger artists who can guarantee sales. Though opinions varied on this, some artists acknowledged this was a possibility but said they were fine with the situation in the short-term if it meant these venues would be able to sustain themselves. Others did not see this as a possibility, either saying venues would continue to incorporate local artists in a similar capacity to how they had previously or foreseeing venues implementing adaptive techniques to cater to local acts. Will Reutemann, the venue operations manager at Mishawaka Amphitheatre, said that Mishawaka would make an effort to focus on providing opportunities for local artists. He added that the venue would implement an adaptive pricing model, similar to the pre-pandemic model, with prices vary-

ing based on expected turnout. The recently introduced RESTART Act and Save our Stages Act could help prevent the National Independent Venue Association’s prediction of the majority of venues closing. The RESTART Act proposes to extend the PPP, and the SOS Act proposes the Small Business Administration provide grants to many in the music industry who have been affected by the pandemic. Both bills have been introduced to the Senate, but the most recent event for either bill came in July when the SOS Act was referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. Michael Seman is an assistant professor in the arts management program at Colorado State University and an author of a study on the impacts of the pandemic on the Colorado music industry. He predicted that, should we see a significant reduction in venues, it will be some time before the health of the music scene here in Fort Collins returns to its previous state. While not foreseeing a reduction in artists, Seman did predict they will be slow to return in a postCOVID-19 world. “Venues will come back in some form, but it will be a little bit of time,” Seman said. “It will take some time before someone

feels confident in opening a venue again from scratch.” Losing venues in Fort Collins will not just have an economic effect on the City by virtue of losing businesses, but their loss will likely affect other businesses in Fort Collins. As noted in Seman’s study, venues can have a ripple effect on other businesses. “It’s an economic engine,” said Jim McDonald, cultural services director for Fort Collins. “Not only are people buying tickets to see performances, but many times, there’s an amplifier effect where they are maybe spending a night at a hotel, filling their car up with gas, eating at a restaurant or going to a bar before or after, so the arts are one of these elements that draws people in and really helps the soul of the community.” We simply do not know what the state of music in Fort Collins will be by the time we reach a post-pandemic U.S. Many current and future factors will affect the live music industry’s future and, by proxy, the future of local artistry. For now, many artists continue to hone their craft and wait for the time when their community can come together again without fear. Ty Davis be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

Gluten-free pumpkin spice bread By Sierra Grimm @CSUram5

time. You can save this for leftovers and, to be honest, the next-day flavor is always the best. If you are a fan of pumpkin and bread, you have to try this out.

INGREDIENTS ■ Two Vital Farms Alfresco Pas-

Bread — we all love to consume it. Personally, I have a guilty pleasure for bread but recently had to switch over to the gluten-free lifestyle, which meant getting creative for my fix. Pumpkin bread is especially popular during this time of year, and it can be used as a side or a seriously delicious dessert. You’ve tried pumpkin bread with gluten, but have you tried pumpkin spice gluten-free bread? Well, look no further because I have a ridiculously delicious, moist, gluten-free pumpkin spice bread recipe. The key is xanthan gum and pumpkin puree. The gum acts like gluten to hold everything together, creating something that is not dry and flaky like most gluten-free products you’ve probably tried. It’s hard to find enjoyable gluten-free foods or desserts, but here, we have scored big

DAILY HOROSCOPE By: Jorge Espinoza TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (11/5/20) ARIES (March 21-April 19) You keep trying to fix something you know you can’t. Focus your energy on healing rather than mending what’s out of your control. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Self-doubt is clouding your abilities. You won’t know if you like something unless you try it. You’d be surprised at how versatile your skills are. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ve been avoiding your much-needed rest in search of

ture-Raised Grade A Large Eggs: $5.49 ■ One teaspoon cinnamon: $1.00 ■ One teaspoon pumpkin pie spice: $3.69 ■ One teaspoon Namaste Raw Goods Gluten-Free Xanthan Gum: $6.43 ■ Two cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour: $4.49 ■ Three teaspoons baking powder: $1.59 ■ One cup Simple Truth Original Oat Milk (or use your own dairyfree milk): $3.00 ■ One cup Kroger 100% Pure Pumpkin pumpkin puree: $1.19 ■ One cup brown sugar: $2.99 ■ One teaspoon vanilla extract: $4.99 ■ 3/4 cup granulated sugar: $1.89 ■ A dash of salt

instant gratification. The gratification you seek comes from within. Take care of your body — it’s tired. CANCER (June 21-July 22) If you’re not sure where to start, just start. Get all your ideas out, and see where they take you. No idea is a bad idea. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If you’re feeling hopeless, remember you have the ability to manifest the future you want. It may never be perfect, but your impact will positively affect those around you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Expectations never match reality. Make the most of what you have, and surrender disappointment.

As always, preheat that oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl or mixer, depending on what you have, add the eggs and beat them. Once that is done, on a low setting, mix in your vanilla, sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree and dairy-free milk. Once you’ve done that for a minute or so, add in your baking powder, xanthan gum and the spices and salt. Keep mixing on low or stirring with your whisk or spatula. Make sure your ingredients are mixed well and there are no clumps. After you are clump-free, add in your gluten-free flour and mix either on medium speed or a bit faster for a couple of minutes. After your ingredients are mixed thoroughly, set that aside and grease your bread pan. I used butter. Add your batter into the greased pan, and pop it in the oven for about an hour and 10 minutes. You can also check to see if a toothpick comes out clean when you put it in the middle of your bread. After that, take it out of the oven and let it cool. Enjoy! Sierra Grimm can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You’re in dire need of some alone time to think. Collect your thoughts and think through the situation so you can make the best decision going forward. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pain is not forever unless you want it to be. You can hold onto it for as long as you want, but until you let it go, you’ll never know what it feels like to move on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’re the architect of your own downfall. Learning the hard way must feel natural to you since you’ve ignored all the signs that have brought you to this point. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) What does your heart want? You’re a great leader, but you’re not following your heart. What does your impact mean if it’s not from the heart? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You don’t have enough outlets. You either beam all your energy into one thing or nothing at all. You have a lot you need to get off your chest with no healthy way to do it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The answer you’re looking for is within. You have all the tools you need to manifest the outcome you desire. Too bad you don’t believe you can.
