This week in ASCSU: Pandemic preparedness, new BSOF members mester and other forms of student support. ASCSU President Hannah Taylor said the executive team is working on a proposal for a mentor program for the spring semester. Taylor also said they are filing their Notice of Intent to the City clerk’s office to start a petition against the U+2 law. Taylor said they will have 60 days to get 3,280 signatures, but they need 7,000 signatures to take into account the ones that get voided. Taylor said, if approved, it could go on the ballot for the April 6 election. Taylor also said they are working on getting every student access to a thermometer to properly take their temperatures for next semester. The senate then went into the ratification process of officers for the Board for Student Organization Funding. This included 10 new potential officers, which included both senators and CSU students. Robert Long, a potential new officer, said he is qualified

for the position because of his experience working at the CSU Bookstore and handling money as a cashier at other jobs. Alec Newton, another potential new officer, talked about his experience working with finances through Registered Student Organizations. Tanna Tennyson, another potential officer, talked about her experience working with the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, where she oversaw finances. The 10 members were ratified on a slate with a vote of 26-2-2. The senate then went on to vote for the ratification of Morgan May, a candidate for elections manager. May said she is a political science major and also holds a position with Congressman Ed Perlmutter’s office. Peyton Dailey, ASCSU Supreme Court chief justice, said, if elected, May would oversee the next election cycle. May said she is excited to form a committee that is based

in diversity to make sure everyone can include their ideas and opinions about the election. May also said she wants to make sure the elections reach the students and are fair for every candidate. May said she wants to utilize CSU’s official social media more during ASCSU election season and wants to make sure more students run for senate positions. Before voting, the senate discussed the importance of holding May, along with every member of ASCSU, accountable for upholding diversity and inclusion promises they may have made. The senate also discussed potentially changing job descriptions to include a diversity and inclusion requirement to make sure that voices from every identity are heard and fought for. With a vote of 23-4-3, May was ratified into the position. Ceci Taylor can be reached at news@collegian.com.

The eighth session of the 50th senate of the Associated Students of Colorado State University began with the swearing-in of new senators and associates. This included four new senators and associates. After the swearing-in, Marc Barker, co-chair of CSU’s Pandemic Preparedness Team and director of Adult Learner and Veteran Services, spoke to the senate. Barker said that when Joyce McConnell, president of CSU, asked him to be a co-chair of the team, the main goal was to protect the health and safety of every member of CSU’s community. “Everything that we’ve undertaken in the last nine months — to include transitioning to learning last spring to where we were over the summer and preparing to come back face-to-face — has

really been through that lens,” Barker said. Barker acknowledged that mistakes have been made, but they have learned and are now excited for the transition into the spring term of 2021. “We have experience that we didn’t have going into fall to really pivot in and make some changes on some very critical things about how we approach the pandemic,” Barker said. Mary Pedersen, provost and executive vice president at CSU, also spoke about a possible plan when it comes to distributing a COVID-19 vaccine. Pedersen said that when the vaccine comes out, the most vulnerable communities will be prioritized. “Ideally, it would be wonderful if we could have a plan in place and so that by fall, we’re ready to start with a more normal environment,” Pedersen said. Pedersen and Barker also spoke about focusing more on student food insecurity next se-

CITY

Hughes open lands initiative to appear on City’s 2021 ballot By Samantha Ye @samxye4

Next April, the residents of Fort Collins will have a definitive opportunity to voice their desires on the future of the old Hughes Stadium property. City Council submitted a proposed measure requiring the City to make good faith efforts to purchase the 165-acre land parcel at fair market value and reserve it for open space uses to appear on the ballot for the 2021 City election. This was the mandated result of a successful citizeninitiated petition led by the community organization Planning Action to Transform Hughes Sustainably. PATHS has been a key voice in opposing the redevelopment of the Hughes parcel into housing, particularly during the City’s contentious attempt at a higher density rezoning. After the council failed to rezone the property this spring, PATHS petitioned for a ballot measure to make the City purchase and zone the land for open space. According to The Coloradoan, the organization needed to obtain signatures from registered voters in City limits equal to 10% of ballots cast in the last

regular municipal election. A day before their deadline, they submitted over 8,200 signatures, according to City Clerk Delynn Coldiron. The City did not verify beyond the required 3,280 signatures. At Tuesday’s council meeting, PATHS members pointed to their success and the positive feedback they received as evidence of the community’s support for keeping Hughes open space. “No longer can we be called paper tigers or simply just a vocal minority,” said Melissa Rosas, PATHS member. “If this citizens’ petition shows you anything, it’s that Fort Collins voters value open space; they want Hughes to be conserved as such, and they want (the City Council) to step up now and represent them.” The adoption comes less than a month after Colorado State University, the current owner of the Hughes parcel, switched over to the Site Plan Advisory Review process in order to pursue its plans for home development. The plan includes over 600 homes on the land, including affordable apartments and attainable housing for low-earning CSU employees. It would also contain an integrated Transfort station, roughly 50%

open and green space with a foothills buffer, a primary care medical clinic and a child care center. The SPAR process relegates the City of Fort Collins to an advisory role on this development, while the CSU Board of Governors is responsible for giving the final approval. CSU will have its first conceptual review of the plan with City staff 10:15 a.m., Nov. 19. It is open to public viewing over Zoom. Multiple residents voiced ire at the University for taking the SPAR path in a move they regarded as circumventing the public will. “It just really hits a raw nerve with me,” resident Melodie Nicholas said of SPAR. “I’m just really tired of public servants and elected officials using their power to forward their agendas.” CSU representatives had no comments to add about the petition or ongoing plans. It is unclear how the ballot issue will figure into the University’s process. Last month, CSU already considered and turned down a City offer to buy all but 10 acres of the land for $7.2 million, according to The Coloradoan. They are currently contracted to sell the land to Lennar Cor-

poration for $10 million, with potential for bonuses. “If we don’t have a willing seller, what’s the price?” Mayor Wade Troxell said. Although some residents suggested the City had “lowballed” CSU on the attempted purchase, City Manager Darin Atteberry said he stands by the City’s offer. “We feel that it was justifiable given the conditions of the property,” Atteberry said. “(The staff ) have always had an expectation from City Council that we make market value offers, and that’s exactly what we did.” In addition to the acquisition, it would probably take several million dollars to restore the property on issues such as soil restoration, Atteberry said. City staff have previously said they do not consider the Hughes parcel a worthwhile addition to the City’s natural areas collection, typically meant for biological preservation and different from an open space area. The ordinance that the council sent to the ballot requires that the City “use best efforts in good faith” to purchase the Hughes lot “at its fair market value for the purpose of using it for parks, recreation and open lands, natural areas

and wildlife rescue and education.” It lists several possible sources of funding from which the City can pull to purchase the Hughes lot within two years of the ordinance passing. Even if a ballot measure does not prove to be the correct legal way to carry out the purchase, Councilmember Ross Cunniff said the council should pass a resolution that, if the measure passes, promises to take the necessary administrative actions to satisfy the intent of the petitioners and the voters. The council also had the option to adopt the proposed ordinance outright during Tuesday’s meeting, but the motion to do so failed on a 3-3 vote with Mayor Pro Tempore Kristin Stephens recusing. Although most of the 29 residents who spoke at public comment were supportive of immediate adoption, the opposing councilmembers — Troxell, Emily Gorgol and Ken Summers — said they wished to hear from the entire City on this issue. “I think we kind of need to finish the democratic process and take it to the ballot,” Gorgol said. “I think we need to hear from everyone.” Samantha Ye can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Food for Fines battles food insecurity, parking tickets By Natalie Weiland @natgweiland

Food for Fines is making it easy to pay a parking ticket and support a good cause. Through Dec. 18, Rams Against Hunger has teamed up with Colorado State University’s Parking and Transportation Services to create a program that allows students who have been issued a parking citation to reduce their fee in exchange for a donation to the fight against food insecurity. According to SOURCE, every $10 donation to Rams Against Hunger will reduce a student’s fine by $20. Only one deduction is allowed per citation, and those already transferred to the University’s Accounts Receivable Operations are not eligible, wrote Rani Weirich, customer service manager for Parking and Transportation Services, in an email to The Collegian. “This helps customers by reducing a citation, and contributions fund the meal swipe program, providing

nutritious meals at one of CSU’s dining centers for qualifying undergraduate students,” Weirich wrote. Food for Fines has been in place since 1998, Weirich wrote. Previously, the program collected canned goods in exchange for a $3 citation fee reduction and donated those foods to the Food Bank for Larimer County. “I met with them probably three years ago,” said Jen Johnson, interim director of the Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement Office, which houses Rams Against Hunger. “They had been doing a Food for Fines program that gave food to the Food Bank (for) Larimer County. After we had things up and running for Rams Against Hunger, they asked if they could direct the money to us. I said yes, met with them and we talked things through.” Following a rework of the Parking and Transportation Services’ computer system to accommodate the new program, funding was then direct-

ed to the Rams Against Hunger meal swipe program, which allows students to apply for 60 meal swipes that can be used at any CSU dining hall, and Food for Fines was up and running, Johnson explained. “It looks like since we started recording these ‘gifts,’ there has been a total of $8,272 contributed,” wrote Michael Buttram, the Rams Against Hunger coordinator, in an email. “The cost per student (for one semester of swipes) has averaged around $500, so that’s 16 students who have benefitted from this initiative.” According to the Food for Fines webpage, those who wish to participate must first make a contribution online — a minimum of $10 is required, but students may contribute as much as they wish — and verify that it has been processed. Once this is done, students should see their fee reduced by $20 and can proceed to pay the remaining amount with a credit card. It should be noted that cash contributions are not accepted. Throughout the year, Rams

Against Hunger offers various services to combat food insecurity among CSU students, such as “a food pantry, a meal-swipe program, pocket pantries and virtual assistance with navigating federal aid eligibility,” Buttram wrote. “Our hope in providing these services is to ensure that basic needs need not be over-

looked at the expense of a degree,” he said. “By reducing the stigma around food insecurity and meeting student, staff and faculty needs in a way that affirms dignity, we hope to live out the creed that Rams really do take care of Rams.” Natalie Weiland can be reached at news@collegian.com.

How CSU ranked platinum in the Sustainable Campus Index By Izzi Brown @isabelbrown02

For the third time, Colorado State University received a platinum ranking from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education in their annual Sustainable Campus Index. CSU is one of many higher education institutions that reports to The Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System, or STARS. This is a self-reporting system that schools may use to measure their progress toward better sustainability as an institution. There are four rankings: bronze, silver, gold and platinum, the last of which is given to schools with a minimum total score of 85. The total score is calculated based on the percentage of points that are earned in various areas in which the school may grow in sustainability. These areas are academics, engagement, operations and planning and administration, all of which are broken down into 17 sub-areas. CSU was recognized in 7 of these 17 areas, according to the 2020 Sustainable Campus Index. Under the curriculum category, CSU scored 100% and received the top ranking. Tonie Miyamoto, director of communications and sustainability for Student Affairs and co-chair of the President’s Sustainability Commission, described her position on the PSC as “(pulling) together faculty, staff and students from all colleges, divisions and units across the University to set sustainability goals for the University, support and/or fund academic and programmatic proposals and provide a platform for completing CSU’s Climate Action Plan goals, STARS report and sustainability strategic planning.” The PSC has been able to establish CSU as a Bee Campus USA, expand the composting program and introduce several sustainability majors and minors, Miyamoto said. Another example of the work PSC has done on campus is the Moby Geoexchange

project, which, according to Carol Dollard, the other cochair of the PSC and a utility engineer for Facilities Management, is almost complete. Dollard said this project will ensure thermal energy exchange with the ground. She explains that to do this, 342 wells were drilled in the Intramural Fields, each going 500 feet deep. In these wells, Dollard said, an abundance of piping is used to accomplish the exchange of thermal energy. “In the summer, excess heat from the building is sent to the ground via these wells; in the winter, circulating water through the loop in the well-field extracts heat from the ground,” Dollard said. Dollard said the wells are closed-looped, so there is no water exchange with the ground. CSU is going to take its platinum ranking and use it as a motivator to be even better. Dollard said future sustainability projects include a massive solar project which will double the amount of solar on campus. This project is just beginning, with Namasté Solar being the selected partner to develop solar on campus, Dollard said. She said the project will be financed through a power purchase agreement, in which the third party owns and operates the solar system while CSU pays them back by purchasing power from them over 20-25 years. “This way the University gets the benefits of solar without having to finance the installation upfront,” Dollard said. Dollard said the solar project will allow CSU to reduce the amount of electricity purchased from the grid, which is currently about 60% coal-fired. “One of the things I love most about CSU’s commitment to sustainability is that we walk the walk,” Miyamoto said. “You see bikes everywhere, our students take sustainability courses, our faculty are conducting sustainability research and our staff are committed to programs like composting and food insecurity.” Izzi Brown can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Proposition EE will be harmful to Coloradans

Proposition EE will be beneficial to Coloradans

By Cat Blouch

By Mason Holtiza

@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. Earlier this month, Coloradans voted on Proposition EE, which proposed a tax increase on nicotine products, including e-cigarettes. The proposition passed with 67.56% majority voting to enact the tax. According to CPR News, funds from the nicotine tax are planned to be allocated to “K-12 education, rural schools, tobacco programs and a smaller portion to general state spending.” With every new proposition, however, there is discourse regarding ethical implications. While a tax on nicotine products can seem like a simple decision following straightforward logic, there are deeper implications on those who this law majorly affects. In addition to the proposition indirectly targeting people with a lower socioeconomic status, many individuals who are using nicotine products, particularly e-cigarettes, are minors.” The crux of the drawbacks of Proposition EE is the unfortunate truth that smoking disproportionately affects those of a lower socioeconomic status. This indicates that the majority of the individuals who will be paying the tax on nicotine products are people in vulnerable economic positions. This is especially relevant to the college-aged community, which often faces financial challenges. Many college-aged students face debt, and food and housing insecurity, among other things. Considering that there has been a dramatic increase in vaping among college students in recent years, there are significant implications of this proposition on students of that age. People in lower-income brackets are specifically targeted by tobacco industries. ClearWay Minnesota reports that methods of unethical demographic targeting include “price discounts, direct-mail marketing and in-store promotions.” In addition to the proposition indirectly targeting people with a lower socioeconomic status, many individuals who are using nicotine products, particularly e-cigarettes, are minors. In the United States, e-cigarette use among youth has increased significantly since 2011, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. My colleague Mason Holitza makes the argument that the goal of the proposition is to discourage smoking. The simple notion here is that the tax acts as a punishment for what many see as a personal decision. However, this argument lacks the nuance of recognizing that the decision to use nicotine products is not entirely made out of free will for many individuals due to the highly addictive nature of nicotine,

In the latest election, Coloradans voted to pass Proposition EE, a bill that created e-cigarette and tobacco taxes. Two columnists discuss what this means for Coloradans. particularly on developing brains.

@MHolitza really cannot afford the habit while further keeping Colorado healthy. Plus, there is the benefit of adding funds to new public preschooling programs. The uptick in the use of e-cigarettes and vaping products in the past few years is what the bill is trying to combat.” My colleague Cat Blouch argues that funding for public education shouldn’t come from a “sin tax.” This is not a claim without merit, but would it not be the most magnanimous way to spend the money received from the sin tax? If the money were to be spent on, for example, low-income housing, couldn’t the same argument be made against pulling that funding from sin taxes? If people are buying these products, the money may as well be put to good use. At this point, the argument also changes from one of how these taxes are being spent to one of whether or not Colorado citizens are being charged enough state income taxes that could go to K-12 education. In Colorado, we have a flat income tax rate of 4.63%. It is hard to compare tax rates between states, but Colorado is considered to have one of the lower tax rates. Smokers may see it as that they’d rather have this detrimental habit to their health than quit, but in the long term, it might cost them more money in health care and the weekly financial habit. Pricing them out of the habit may not be the best way to go about it, as the bill seems like it is targeting lower income communities rather than helping them, which might be the bill’s ultimate goal. But the uptick in the use of e-cigarettes and vaping products in the past few years is what the bill is trying to combat. According to Michigan News at the University of Michigan, “Between 2017 and 2019, the 30-day prevalence of vaping nicotine increased from 6% to 22% among college students.” Legislators have made clear that they seek to curb this as quickly as possible. Vaping became such a public concern that even our soon-to-be evicted president, Donald Trump, took notice and signed into law the bill that raised the minimum age to purchase nicotine products to 21. While the bill does raise taxes that may affect people of lower socioeconomic status, it is looking out for the health of the majority of Coloradans.

Your sexual explorations can help you become a better partner 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. Virginity — let’s talk about it. I’m going to begin this by being extremely real: Virginity doesn’t exist. There is no medical way to determine whether someone has had sex in their lifetime, and our modern idea of virginity excludes anyone who isn’t in a heterosexual relationship, which further classifies it as a social construct. Now, a relationship built for longevity does not need to involve sex, but our society shouldn’t act like it isn’t important and is something that is dirty. Physical intimacy shouldn’t be the main foundation that your relationship is built on, but it’s unfair to shame people for how or when they choose to have sex in or out of long-term relationships. All types of physical intimacy allow for a unique connection to your partner, and that includes more than just sex. College students across the country are exploring sex, and that experience is important to their growth as both lovers and partners. Whether you’re exploring sex with multiple partners or just alone, it is important to learn about yourself and your boundaries at this age to better prepare

yourself for cultivating healthy relationships in the future. Lots of factors contribute to someone’s sexual identity and sexual explorations. Some people have trauma that causes them to feel disconnected from sex. According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, “Among undergraduate students, 26.4% of females and 6.8% of males experience rape or sexual assault through physical force, violence or incapacitation.”

“Your sexual experiences belong to you, and you alone.” Others are asexual and don’t need or want to have a physically intimate relationship with anyone, regardless of their relationship status. If you want to learn more about asexuality, The Trevor Project discusses sex and sexual identity. Sex does not equal love, and it is not needed to create a lasting relationship. However, it can be a way to connect and be vulnerable with your partner and further your communication skills together. Physical touch is a love language, and some people show their love through consensual touch. Physical intimacy involves

COMIC ILLUSTRATION BY RYAN GREENE @TFOGDOGS

being respectful and supportive of your partner and having that respect and support reciprocated. It’s not the main factor in building a strong relationship, but it should definitely be considered because relationships offer unique opportunities to connect to your partner in a physical way. Exploring your sexual identity can be daunting, but it’s so important to know your boundaries, likes and dislikes and your partner’s as well. Loveisrespect.org details the importance of consent, setting boundaries and mutual respect in a relationship involving sex. If you’re interested in learning about setting your own sexual boundaries and consent, definitely check it out. Traditional ideas of sex being secretive and shameful, primarily for women, need to stop circulating and be replaced by the narrative that a physical relationship with your partner can be whatever you want it to be — it’s yours to explore and navigate. Physical intimacy can create a well-rounded, informed and communicative relationship. It does not have to be a factor in every relationship because everyone is different, but it can work to cultivate an even better connection and should not be undervalued. Virginity is an imagined concept that can lead to slut-shaming: a way of objectifying women, blaming them for sexual situa-

tions — leaked nudes, saying that they’re “distracting,” etc. — and/ or judging them for their sexual experiences. This is extremely harmful and can have disastrous impacts on the mental health of young women. Sexual exploration needs to be normalized because without that normalization, slut-shaming will continue to affect women and female-presenting individuals. Slut-shaming is incredibly common and has grown into more of a phenomenon through the use of social media. Your sexual experiences belong to you, and you alone. Whether you are exploring your sexuality with partners or by yourself, you are growing in your understanding of your body and your boundaries.

Sex is not dirty. No one deserves to be shamed for exploring their sexuality in the ways that make them feel comfortable. Sex creates a channel for connection to your body, your boundaries and your partner’s, which can be utilized to cultivate long-lasting relationships. It can also be really empowering. How, when or with whom we have sex doesn’t have to be kept a secret, and we have the power to change the narrative that deems sex shameful. A physically intimate aspect within your relationship can help you learn about yourself and, therefore, become a better partner in your future relationships.

The Masters: A walkthrough of golf’s biggest tournament

Hedge your bets with Scott: Picks of the week

By Bailey Bassett @baileybassett

As sports continue to bounce back from an eventful year of delays, postponements and cancelations, this past weekend gave sports fans — golf fans more specifically — another much-anticipated 2020 return: the Masters Tournament. After being postponed back in April as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world’s best golfers made the trip to Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, from Nov. 12-15, to continue America’s most coveted golfing tradition. The prestigious green jacket was bestowed upon American golfer Dustin Johnson after he finished his final round four strokes under par, bringing his total to 20 strokes under par through four rounds, setting a new tournament record in scoring, to make him this year’s tournament winner. This year’s Masters Tournament was different for a variety of reasons, but the one that has probably stuck out the most was the climate, both naturally and personally. What do I mean by that? Well, the tournament is usually scheduled to have the final round be played on the second Sunday of April, but that was obviously not possible this year. This posed an interesting natural element to deal with for players and schedulers alike, as the tournament was being played in a different season for the first time. This led to shorter daylight hours, which made for a more packed schedule than most of the participants are used to. Not only that, but the weather and darkness were responsible for multiple delays at the start of the first round and other rounds, which is something that doesn’t usually pose a problem in Augusta in the spring. Now, for some of you, this might be the first time you’ve ever heard about the tournament, which is totally fine. Allow me to give you the ins and outs of the

Masters Tournament.” As for the personal aspect of the climate at Augusta this year, the absence of fans was felt by viewers and players in a big way. Usually, you can expect to see fans lining the fairways of the course and cheering passionately for bigtime million-dollar putts. But Augusta was quiet this year, which may have been good for golfer concentration but was damaging to the usually electric atmosphere of the biggest tournament in professional golf. Now, for some of you, this might be the first time you’ve ever heard about the tournament, which is totally fine. Allow me to give you the ins and outs of the Masters Tournament. The Masters is just one of the four major championships on the PGA Tour, which is the circuit that all respected professional golfers play in. This one is unique, however, in that it’s the only PGA major that’s played on the same course every year: the aforementioned Augusta National Golf Club. It’s also unique in its notoriously exclusive qualification process. All of the top 50 ranked golfers in the world and past champions of the tournament receive an automatic invite to compete, but if a golfer doesn’t wind up on that list, the road to the Masters becomes extremely tough. I could get into all the various ways one could qualify, but this statement basically sums it up: if you don’t do well on the PGA Tour, you won’t be invited to the Masters, as the final field of players is limited to just 90 participants. What happens when a golfer qualifies then? After qualifying, the trip to Georgia is made every April. The tournament plays like this: The first round is played on the Thursday before the second Sunday of April. Golfers play the full 18-hole course four times over four days, one round per day. The par for the course is 72 strokes per round. Now I may have lost some of you there. What is the par for a

course? Every hole has a par value, which ranges from three to five depending on the hole being played. Holes that are a shorter distance from the tee box garner a lower par value and vice versa. A par in golf is when you get the ball in the hole using the maximum number of strokes, or swings, that is prescribed for that hole. So if the hole I’m playing is a par 5, and it takes me five swings to get the golf ball in the hole, then I have made par for that hole. The goal is to try to use as few swings as possible; you want to be what they call “under par.” So, back to the tournament. After two rounds of 18 holes have been played, cuts are made. The way this works is like this: The tournament leader at that point and the rest of the top 50 golfers, and those within 10 strokes of the leader are allowed to finish the final two rounds of the tournament while the other golfers who didn’t play well enough to make it into that group are sent home. From there, it plays just the same as it started, and the person with the lowest score under par on Sunday is the winner of the green jacket, the “trophy” given to the winner of the tournament every year. So why does it matter? Well, golf is a sport that is rooted in tradition, and there is no golfing tradition stronger than the Masters. Any golfer who wants to be included in the G.O.A.T. conversation has to win the Masters to even get a nod. Players who have won the tournament multiple times, like Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer, all cemented their legacies at this tournament, and the symbolic green jacket is the most coveted prize in all of professional golf. That is why the Masters, with its legacies and traditions, are so important to the world of golf, and 2020 is better off having continued that tradition in spite of challenges the world has thrown at us this year.

My heart, my wallet and my dignity took an absolute beating last week. The column got humbled, as last week’s picks failed to deliver in spectacular fashion. The matchup between the University of Maryland and The Ohio State University got canceled due to “an elevated number of coronavirus cases within the Terrapins’ program,” according to ESPN. If anything, this cancelation should have been a red flag to stay away from the weekend slate of games, but I did not heed that warning. Instead, I took a chance on Southern Methodist University to cover the spread against The University of Tulsa. The Mustangs decided to spite me, as they blew a 21-0 lead and ultimately failed to cover, as they lost by four points. The Denver Broncos decided that they would much rather throw interceptions than score points during Sunday’s loss against the Las Vegas Raiders, resulting in the over missing by just three points — it was demoralizing. The underdog parlay was a long shot at best, so although it was not surprising it didn’t hit, the fact that the New York Giants were the sole winners while the Buffalo Bills and the Seattle Seahawks lost was tough and very surprising. The most heart-wrenching loss of all of last week’s picks, you ask? Definitely the Colorado State University Rams failing to cover the 13.5 point spread. The Rams got dominated against the Boise State University Broncos and really just set the precedent for a tough weekend of gambling to follow. Now, the column stands at a record of 14-16, with the parlay ultimately going 1-2. Morale was low going into this

week, but through sheer grit and determination, we will try to battle back into the positives. Sports betting has provided me with added levels of entertainment but only because I bet within my means. If you feel you need help, call the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-522-4700. College Football At the time of writing, the CSU game this week seems to be shrouded in uncertainty, so out of caution, there will not be a pick for the CSU game. If the game does end up going along as planned, look to my Twitter page for a spontaneous live bet. Indiana University Bloomington Hoosiers vs. The Ohio State University Buckeyes Spread: IU +20.5 points, OSU -20.5 points Moneyline: IU +650, OSU -1115 Over/Under: 66 points The Big Ten Conference has been full of crazy endings this year, most notably the Indiana University Bloomington Hoosiers’ incredibly controversial two-point conversion to upset Pennsylvania State University in their opening game of the season. That upset kick-started the Hoosiers’ currently undefeated season, as they sit at 4-0 going into this week’s game. The Hoosiers may be hot right now, but The Ohio State University, currently ranked number three in the Associated Press top 25 ranking, is once again putting together an incredible season. Ohio State is also undefeated, sitting at 3-0 going into this game, but due to the cancelation of their game last week, they sit below the Hoosiers on the Big Ten Conference table.

FOOTBALL

CSU vs. UNLV is postponed as uncertainty reigns supreme By Scott Nies @scott_nies98

Colorado State University was supposed to play the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on Saturday, but then the game was canceled, according to a tweet by Doug Samuels of Football Scoop. But these initial claims seemed to be false, as the next morning, in Wednesday’s post-practice press conference, head coach Steve Addazio commented on the alleged cancelation, saying, “We are 100% ready to rock-and-roll.” Just hours after that, the Mountain West Conference website released a statement indicating this Saturday’s contest will not be played. The statement reads, “Due to positive COVID-19 tests and the resulting contact tracing within the UNLV football program, the Rebels are unable to travel and participate in the scheduled football game at Colorado State on Saturday, Nov. 21.” If anything, the confusion and uncertainty surrounding what was and what was not a legitimate report regarding this game over a 24-hour period was a testament to the absurdity of how college football has operated throughout

the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to note that the Mountain West website update did not use the word “canceled” in regard to this game. While there have been no official indications of a rescheduling, Addazio has repeatedly expressed his openness and desire to find a new opponent for the Rams this weekend. According to Yahoo! Sports reporter Pete Thamel, Addazio said yesterday, “We want to play football. I just want to try and keep developing our football team, as long as the conferences agree.” Many on social media have been pushing for this now void UNLV slot to be filled by the University of Colorado Boulder Buffaloes, in what would be a late and unexpected Rocky Mountain Showdown. According to CBS Sports, Pacific-12 Conference athletic directors recently voted to approve the addition of nonconference games to current schedules, which would mean that if the presidents and chancellors of the Pac-12 also approve this variation, a CSU vs. CU game is very much still possible. Even if a game is possible, this does not mean that it is extremely likely to happen. According to Kyle

Bonagura of ESPN, a more likely alternative is that the Mountain West will schedule CSU a rematch with the University of Wyoming, but the game would not count toward league standings. Bonagura also stated that there is a possibility that the UNLV

game would be rescheduled to be played on the same date as the Mountain West Conference title game, as neither UNLV nor CSU are likely to qualify. With all of this speculation, it is very unclear if the Rams will have a game or not this weekend, and

if they do, there is no way of telling whom it will be against. At the moment, the only certainty is that CSU will not be playing UNLV as a COVID-19 outbreak steals a second game from the Rams. Scott Nies can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

CAMPUS

7 of the best places to go for late-night studying By Cat Blouch @BlouchCat

Finding places that are open for late-night study sessions with COVID-19 restrictions and precautions can be challenging. Thankfully, the Colorado State University community and surrounding Fort Collins area work tirelessly to provide safe places where students can work. Here are just a few of the top choices for evening studying onand off-campus. 1. Alleycat Coffee House Located on West Laurel Street across from campus, the Alleycat Coffee House has been a longtime favorite for CSU students due to its close location and urban vibe. When asked his favorite places to study, Zach Schall, a CSU student, said, “If I’m not in my room, I’ll usually

come here.” The Alleycat is open later than most places on- and off-campus alike, closing at midnight every day. 2. Momo Lolo Coffee Shop Momo Lolo Coffee Shop is another popular choice for college students, located in the Campus West Shops area. It has a bright atmosphere with a wide array of drinks, from the classics to more experimental beverages. Pip Newton, a first-year CSU student studying graphic design, said that coffee shops are an ideal place to study because “It really helps you focus.” It is open until 8 p.m. every day, which makes it an arguably inferior location compared to its peers when it comes to night owl studying. 3. Starbucks (South College Avenue and Stuart) There are over 10 Starbucks locations in Fort Collins alone,

but the South College Avenue location is a great choice for college students in particular. This location is near campus and is open later than most other Starbucks locations, closing at 10 p.m. daily rather than 9 p.m. or earlier — a great choice for latenight studying. 4. Ingersoll Hall For first years, finding a nice place to study is as easy as walking down to your basement. Ingersoll Hall is known for its modern lobby, decked out with hammock chairs, spin-top seats and, of course, plenty of tables for homework. Elaine Gackowski, a first-year resident of Ingersoll, said that she likes the convenience of studying in the basement of her building. “You don’t want to walk all the way to the library,” Gackowski said. “We have such a good space, other people come down

here from other dorms just to hang out in our lobby.” 5. Corbett Hall On the opposite side of campus from Ingersoll, residents of Corbett Hall enjoy their study lounges, fit with individual study kiosks and tables situated right outside of the dining hall. Residence halls do not close, but certain areas are only open to residents, making them a limited option for late-night studying. 6. Lory Student Center The Lory Student Center is a tried-and-true favorite place for students to catch up on homework. The Diane Warren Kindness Lounge on the second floor is a popular place for students, offering a variety of tables and personal study chairs. The LSC recently changed its hours and now closes at 9 p.m. daily. Sara Motta, a first-year CSU stu-

dent studying psychology, explained that she enjoys studying at the LSC because the high ceilings and modern aesthetic help her focus. 7. Morgan Library If there is any place on campus that is synonymous with studying, it would have to be the Morgan Library. You are bound to find at least one place to your liking within the four-story building that includes a basement. At any given time, a student is surrounded by endless resources, including books that can be checked out for free, laptop rentals and even a built-in coffee shop on-site. The Morgan Library closes at midnight daily, making it a premier option for those who prefer studying late. Cat Blouch can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

Scotty’s Snacks: Top 5 cheesy snacks in Fort Collins By Scott Powell @scottysseus

It’s amazing just how many wonderful things our innate human idiocy has birthed over the years. Popsicles were discovered after 11-year-old Frank Epperson left a glass of water mixed with sugary powder out on his patio overnight with a stirring stick in it. Sticky notes were created when Spencer Silver found that his new heavy duty adhesive was only strong enough to temporarily hold a bookmark in place. But none of these mis-coveries hold a candle to that of cheese, a mistake so delicious it hit record prices as Americans panic-bought for the pandemic. Here’s our list for the best cheesy chomps around Fort Collins. 1. Jalapeño cheese grits (Lucile’s Creole Cafe) Grits are the most underrated breakfast grain. Sure, they taste like wet sand, but that’s what makes the art of cooking so magical: It has the ability to take any food, no matter how revolting it is on its own — fish eyes, snails, cow

tongues, crickets, etc. — zest it up with enough spice and drench it in enough butter to transform it into a culinary masterpiece. Except for webcap mushrooms. Those things will kill you no matter how much paprika you add to them. Generally speaking, though, most tangible substances on Earth can be made into tasty meals if prepared properly. And the less personality the substance itself has, the better. It’s the simple nature of grits that makes them the perfect blank canvas for the most eccentric edible experiments. And no crumbled corn creation shines quite as brightly as Lucile’s Creole Cafe’s jalapeño cheese grits. Sharp and spicy with a creamy texture and smoky aroma, it’s a cheddary sensation that raises the bar for wet sand to new heights. 2. Spinach artichoke poppers (Panino’s Italian Restaurant) So you want to get healthier. Good for you. I wish I had your discipline. But unfortunately, the only vegetable I’m willing to eat is the gelatin lettuce on gummy Krabby Patties. If you’re the kind of person who enjoys real vegetables, though, there’s no better cheesy treat to feed your fit and feisty frame than Panino’s Italian Restaurant’s spinach artichoke poppers. While these warm, butter-fried, cream

cheese dip-filled creations aren’t necessarily a health food, they do have spinach and artichokes, which provide you with at least some of those Dr. Oz-y vitamins you need to stay healthy and alert. They also come with a cup of ranch dressing on the side, so they’re practically a salad. 3. Honey cheese bread (Beau Jo’s) Okay, you’ve eaten your vegetables. You can have dessert now. And what better way to wash down a nice helping of cheese rolled into bread than with a nice helping of cheese on top of bread? Given my general aversion to the concept of cheese for dessert, I was a bit skeptical when I first heard of Beau Jo’s honey cheese bread. I couldn’t imagine how honey and cheese could possibly create a gustatory sensation that was anything other than disappointing. However, after trying it out, I must admit, I’m hooked. The subtlety of the honey-soaked bread doesn’t cancel out the sharpness of the cheese the way I expected, but it instead curves its punch into a mellow, smoky flavor that is the perfect finale to a cheesy feast. 4. Fried mozzarella (Nick’s Italian) No list of cheesy snacks would be complete without mozzarella sticks. They are an essential cheesy snack. And when it comes to the best

melted cheese twigs in town, no one beats Nick’s Italian. With globs of stringy mozz that ooze endlessly out of their parmesan and Panko shells (I was able to stretch mine all the way to Laramie before the strand of molten mozzarella finally snapped), these elastic eats are the perfect preface to an Italian feast. 5. Green chile cheese tots (Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar) The amount of cheese on Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar’s green chile cheese tots is almost monstrous enough to qualify the dish as a soup rather than an appetizer. It’s like a culinary kiddie pool — a delicious, liquid pond of melted cheddar and green chili inhabited by a few little baby taters here and there. Which isn’t to

say that the burger bar is stingy with their shredded spud balls; they’re just extra generous with the toppings. And let’s face it, the best appetizers are nothing more than mere foundations for cheese towers anyway. Nachos, macaroni and cheese — you name it; in order for a pre-meal teaser to be worthy of consumption, it must have at least a 9-3 ratio of cheese to base. And Bad Daddy’s cheesy tots more than deliver on this front. Add a smooth, silky, spicy green chili sauce for an extra kick of flavor, and you’ve got a souped-up spud-sation worthy of a gold medal.

Hindsight 2020: A look back on the semester through photos By Anna von Pechmann & Lucy Morantz Simply put, this semester has been difficult. From a new school format, social justice protests, a pandemic, wildfires and the most contentious election in modern history, our photographers were tasked with documenting it all. Not only did they meet our expectations, they exceeded them.

One thing that has been significantly different for many of our photographers has been dramatically decreased access. With less event coverage and increased exposureanxiety, the photographers have been pushed to think outside the box to create photodriven content.

Sometimes I crave a sweet treat, especially when the holidays roll around. Speaking of the holidays, they’re right around the corner. COVID-19 may have put a halt on your plans, so if you are going to be by yourself this year or with a couple other people, this is a recipe for you. I, personally, had never made a mug cake until last year, but I wanted to make a bitesized chocolate cake that could be enjoyed year-round. The perfect size for that holiday dessert is a mug size, my friends. It’s super easy and quick, and the ingredients can be substituted to fit one’s dietary needs. There is also just something about mini treats — it’s almost more approachable than buying and consuming a whole cake yourself. There is reason for eating cake when celebrating or hosting. It brings great joy to others, especially if the delicacies are personal-size — they are so stinking cute. As for sizing of mugs, you’ll want to stick to the average 15-ounce size, as this

recipe works perfectly for that size rather than those big coffee mugs or the taller mugs. Cooking this in the oven will give you a better result; however, because quick and easy is the name of the game when it comes to cooking here, the microwave will suffice. Directions for both methods are provided. Directions are as follows: Microwave: Spray cooking spray or rub your mug with a bit of butter to make sure your cake

NOW IS THE TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT LIFE AFTER THE DORMS Have you started thinking about where you are going to live after the dorms? Leasing season can sneak up on you, so now is the time to start apartment hunting! Whether it’s your own private bedroom, new roommates, plentiful green space, free parking, printing & tanning, or heated pools, Ram’s Village has what you want! Keep us in mind as you begin thinking about next year – you can sign a lease as early as November and you can always stop by and take a tour. The earlier you sign the more options you will have to choose from; pick from our spacious one, two, three, and four bedrooms! A move to Ram’s Village is a move in the right direction because we are closer to campus. No class is too far when you are living here. If you decide to hop on the bus at one of the seven stops on our property, you are no more than eight minutes away from the LSC – right in the center of campus. Maybe you decide to bike, you will arrive in even less time. Are you walking to campus to meet some friends for lunch? Leave fifteen minutes before and you will beat any of your friends living elsewhere. Signing a lease at Ram’s Village is like a present from you to you. Wake up later, get on a later bus, bike a shorter length – the possibilities are endless. Have a great fall break and we will see you soon!

does not stick. Add all ingredients into the mug except for the marshmallows. Whisk or stir together the ingredients until the batter is smooth-looking. Microwave for 60-80 seconds until the cake is cooked and spongey-looking. The top of the cake should be dry. Oven: If you don’t want to use the microwave, you can use the oven to make this recipe as well. This could also lend a helping hand in heating up the house

during those cold winter nights, so there’s a perk to baking at a slower pace. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, then add all the ingredients into the mug except for the marshmallows, and mix well. Make sure your mug is oven-safe, and place it on a baking sheet so it does not fall through. Bake for about 20 minutes. Let it sit for a couple minutes once it’s out of the oven, and consume!
