CSU, City reach agreement on former Hughes land By Isaiah Dennings

@isaiah_dennings Colorado State University, the City of Fort Collins and third-party Cottonwood Lands and Farms entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) Aug. 20 that resolves some uncertainty with the former Hughes Stadium property. According to a press release from the City of Fort Collins and the CSU System, “the MOU is intended to compensate CSU in order to meet the fiduciary obligations noted by CSU and provide CSU an alternative parcel of land near Horsetooth and Ziegler to be used for affordable housing. With those requirements met, CSU would then sell the Hughes Stadium property to the City.” The proposed redevelopment plan has seen backlash from Indigenous activist groups such as the Intertribal Alliance for Right Relations for Hughes Land Back. The group submitted a letter to the board of governors during their latest meeting on Aug. 4 denouncing their plans for development and calling for land action and not just performance when referring to CSU’s Land Acknowledgment. “Furthermore, we call on the (CSU System) Board of Governors

to outline and pursue pathways for restitution to the original Indigenous stewards of these unceded treaty lands in the form of repatriating (returning) that which is rightfully theirs/ours: the unencumbered land, water and all rights above, below and within it,” read the letter sent to the board on Aug. 4. The CSU System Board of Gover-

nors responded to the letter, “We hear and appreciate the comments related to the stewardship of the land. Indigenous peoples once inhabited the entire country, and the CSU Land Acknowledgment speaks to the importance of recognizing the history of the land the University is built upon, but disposing of such an asset without economic benefit is inconsistent with

the board’s duties.” According to CSU, the land was sold to them by the federal government after it was done being used to house the construction equipment that created Horsetooth Reservoir back in the 1950s, and it is their legal right to do as they please with the land. The Intertribal Alliance responded, saying the land was acquired illegally for $0 in 1957 in their statement. “What else might the CSU System have yet to learn (or unlearn) and share with the public about its history?” they wrote. Along with lobbying City Council, citizens of Fort Collins passed a citizen-initiated City ordinance in April to influence the fate of the former Hughes Stadium land. The citizen initiative had two main components: first, to change the zoning of the Hughes space from transitional to Public Open Land, and second, requiring the City to make an effort to purchase the land from CSU. Of those who voted, 28,492 people voted for the measure to pass and 13,034 voted against the measure ,making for a 69% to 31% margin, an overwhelming majority in favor of having the City acquire the land, which is accomplished by the new proposed MOU.

The rezoning of the Hughes land from transitional to public open space is really important for what type of development is allowed on the land, according to Paul Sizemore, director of community development and neighborhood services for the City of Fort Collins. Now that the land is zoned as Public Open Land, the process for development is different and must meet guidelines that are more difficult than regular development through the site plan advisory process, according to Sizemore. “Whether it was CSU or a private developer, if they tried to build something that was private use, they wouldn’t be able to do it because the zoning doesn’t allow for many of those types of uses,” Sizemore said. As for the possibility of Indigenous groups receiving the land, the main focus for the City right now is to adhere to the ballot initiative, according to Sizemore. “The City is really committed to implementing the will of the voters and doing what the ballot initiative directed us to do,” Sizemore said. “Whatever happens with the land, we hope that it is something that the Fort Collins community will be proud of for years to come.” Isaiah Dennings can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Meet Ashley Grice, director of the Pride Resource Center By Molly O’Shea

@molly_o23 Ashley Grice became the new Pride Resource Center director at Colorado State University in June after completing her doctorate in social and comparative analysis in education at Carnegie Mellon University. Grice is returning to CSU after working as a residence director from 2012-15. According to Grice, the community and connection at CSU, specifically the Pride Resource Center, are energizing. “It’s a whole vibe,” Grice said. “It’s amazing to see not just students but also faculty and staff across the institution find a sense of belonging and ‘home’ with the PRC.” When asked what it meant to Grice to be the new director of the Pride Resource Center, she described how amazing of an opportunity it has been. “My role as the director within the PRC means a lot to me,” Grice said. “It is an opportunity for me to live out my own truth in both my personal and professional life as well as being accountable to my own

standards/expectations and my own sense of responsibility that I have for the communities that I’m a part of and serve through my work.” As far as everything Grice hopes to accomplish in this position, the list is long and solidifies her commitment to the LGBTQ+ community and CSU’s role in making the student experience better. “LGBTQ+ spaces tend to be very homogenous and center whiteness in ways that I know have been historically harmful to our Black, Indigenous and people of color communities, so as someone who identifies as a Black, queer, masculine-expressive womxn, it is so critical for me to show up in this space with my various intersections at the forefront of my work,” Grice said. Grice’s ultimate goal would be an overall campus cultural shift in terms of how LGBTQ+ community members are validated in their existence on campus and within Fort Collins. This is not just about sexual or gender identities but the ways everyone’s identities intersect, especially for those who have to navigate racialized minoritization in conjunction with LGBTQ+ identities, she said.

In addition to her work toward shifting campus and city culture for the better, Grice said, “As this work and as my community continues to evolve, I will always strive for my role to advocate for all the ways in which our LGBTQ+ community intersects across every aspect and context of campus — centering our student experiences as well as elevating the ways in which our LGBTQ+ staff

and faculty also engage and have to navigate some of the cultural and systemic barriers also impacting their experiences.” She said her hope is also to authentically center joy in her work and have this be foundational to the programs and initiatives that come out of the PRC. Grice said that far too often are people combating various cultural, systemic and institu-

tional attacks as a community, so by centering joy, it’s an opportunity to uplift people at and across intersections and continue to advocate for the critical and necessary cultural shifts both on- and off-campus. Grice begins her time as the Pride Resource Center director by turning to the CSU students and has described that she has been learning students just want to “exist in all of their authenticity without the unnecessary burdens created institutionally, culturally, socially and beyond.” “The Pride Resource Center welcomes and invites all of our CSU community to connect, learn and engage in whatever way feels authentic and adds to our mission of shifting our culture that elevates liberation and thriving of our LGBTQ+ community across intersections,” Grice said. For more information or contact information for the Pride Resource Center staff and students, see the Pride Resource Center webpage. The PRC is located in the Lory Student Center in room 232.

STRAIN REVIEW

Method Man’s Free M.A.C. – Roll it, light it, love it By Hayden Hawley

@hateonhawley Method Man, noted hip-hop legend, actor and longtime cannabis activist, has become the latest in a slew of celebrities to launch a cannabis brand. TICAL, named for Method Man’s 1994 solo debut album, officially launched in Colorado Aug. 13. Colorado connoisseurs can find the product at select dispensaries, where they can choose from three unique indica strains — Sweet Grease, Orange Cookie Kush and Free M.A.C. (Magic Alien Cookies). All three strains are cultivated by Vera, an indoor cannabis grow facility in Boulder. A colleague and I headed to Simply Pure, a Black-owned Denver dispensary located in the Highland Park neighborhood — one of only two Colorado pot shops where you can find the product. This was, of course, intentional on Method Man’s part: TICAL stands for Taking Into Consideration All Lives, as a brand committed to reversing some of the damage that cannabis prohibition has done

to the Black community through economic inclusion. “I love being part of the team,” said Piper, the budtender who helped us through the experience, who asked to be referred by only first name. When we asked him what he thought of TICAL bud so far, he said it was pretty great and that “a lot of celebrities come out with cannabis that is not good.” We purchased the prepackaged eighth of Free M.A.C., which tested at 25.71% THC content. According to TICAL’s website, this particular strain was created by crossbreeding M.A.C. 1 and Freeworld Chem and carries the dominant terpenes of limonene, naturally found in lemons, and pinene, naturally found in pine needles. When we finally got the chance to open up the jar, we were not disappointed. The buds, sporting a pale green color uncharacteristic of some heavy indicas, were sticky and had an extremely pungent herbal and somewhat citral odor — the terpenes came through clearly. After a few modest puffs, my colleagues and I found ourselves stuck to various couches, floors and chairs. The smoke was surprisingly

smooth and carried a pleasantly earthy taste, both in joint and water pipe form. After some debate, we concluded that this would go best with a hearty noodle dish — ramen, pad thai, spaghetti — whatever is closest to arm’s length at the time of initial consumption. This is certainly not a daytime going-for-a-hike kind of weed. You may end up accidentally camping if you attempt to use it for this purpose. Rather, this is the ideal strain for evening gaming, listening to a great album or watching a thought-provoking film: stimulating to the mind yet immobilizing to the body. If you struggle with insomnia, this could be the strain for you. I found myself completely overcome with sleepiness just a few hours after initially smoking and absolutely slept better than average without feeling very groggy at all the next morning. Overall, I would give TICAL Free M.A.C. 4.5 out of 5 buds and look forward to the future of Method Man’s cannabis endeavors. Hayden Hawley can be reached at cannabis@collegian.com.

TIPS

Essential cannabis products for beginners By Katrina Leibee

@katrinaleibee For a first-time cannabis user, all of the products available may seem overwhelming. There seems to be a smoke shop around every corner in Fort Collins, and each one is filled with different pipes, bongs and other tools that you may not even be able to name. Luckily, The Collegian cannabis desk was created to solve this very problem and give you an overview of the essential products and goods a cannabis user might want or need. The first thing you want to think about when you enter a smoke shop is whether you are looking for a bong, pipe, vaporizer or even joint rolling paper. “I would say a good way to start would be from a pipe or vaporizer,” said Brian Braley, employee at The Joint Smoke Shop in Fort Collins. “The vaporizer is a little bit more smooth and less harsh on the throat and lungs.”

“Don’t be afraid to look around and see what fits your vibe.”

Dry herb vaporizers heat up the weed without actually burning it. They can come in larger sizes that you may keep at home as well as in portable form. If you aren’t up for a vaporizer, you may also want to try a small percolator bong. A percolator is a device that is in pretty standard use for most bongs. A percolator is basically a water chamber in the bong that makes the hit smoother and allows for the smoke to cool down more. The hit will be less harsh than a pipe or a joint because the smoke is going through that extra layer of water. “If somebody is starting off and they don’t want a tiny pipe, I always suggest a little bong, not like anything crazy,” said Stephanie McNabb, manager of One Love in Fort Collins. “Just something you can put water in with one percolator.” Once you have your tools, it’s important to make sure you have the essential products to care for your pipes and bongs. A lot of smoke and tobacco stores carry different cleaning solutions, and a

common one you may have heard of is Formula 420 Glass Metal Ceramic Pipe Cleaner. This can easily be found at a smoke store or even at Walmart or on Amazon. However, for those who would like a DIY cleaning solution, McNabb said that a very basic way to clean your bong or pipe is with an alcohol and salt mixture. She also recommended Resinate, a solution that is good for cleaning glass and Pyrex. It is recommended that daily or heavy smokers clean their bong every one to two days, and more casual or weekly smokers should just clean after every use. Another issue that a cannabis user may be concerned about is the odor. If you have roommates that don’t enjoy the smell or you are just looking to keep a better air quality in the environment you are smoking in, Smokebuddy is the recommended product. “We sell a product called Smokebuddy, which is a carbon filter you blow the smoke through,” Braley said. Smokebuddy is a device that you exhale the smoke into. It will filter the smoke, making it less visible and strong-smelling. It is a small device that could easily fit in a purse or pocket. Beware: The Smokebuddy can’t guarantee no odor at all. “You’re still going to have the smoke that rises from the pipe or joint,” McNabb said. Most smoke shops, however, sell candles and other deodorizers that can help with that. Another important aspect of smoking is making sure that you store your cannabis product properly. You’re going to want to get an airtight container for your cannabis and not leave it sitting out. “In Colorado, because of (the) dry climate, keeping your weed in a bag where it’s not airtight is going to make it dry out quicker,” Braley said. “Dry (product) becomes harsher when it burns and won’t taste as good.” A plastic container that you might use for storing leftover food would work well. While these are just a few products and goods that beginners might want to start with, more experienced users will likely collect a lot of different products. There are a number of artistic bongs out there and a lot of unique goods to choose from. Don’t be afraid to look around and see what fits your vibe. Most importantly, stay safe and have fun!

Greek life offers community, but it’s not for everyone 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. With formal recruitment for Greek life coming up, many Colorado State University students are questioning whether or not they want to rush. There’s a lot to consider. If you’ve thought about rushing and want to know what you’re getting yourself into, keep reading. I sat down with five individuals to discuss their experience with Greek life at CSU, and it might help to solidify your decision. Julia Love, a third-year student studying veterinary medicine and biomedical sciences at CSU and member of the sorority Chi Omega, said that anyone looking to go through recruitment “can expect a lot of different personalities per house, and that’s a really good thing because you’ll find your home no matter what.

... Don’t fake it, ... and you’ll find the right home.” Jackson Pitts, a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at CSU and fourth-year journalism and media communication student, touched on the importance of someone interested in going through the recruitment process and reminded them to be “ready to be uncomfortable.” Though there are many conceptions about fraternities prioritizing surface-level relationships, Pitts said you should be “able to reveal who you really are as a person.” Vulnerability is par for the course. This sentiment was echoed by Samuel Sommer, third-year journalism and media communication student at CSU and member of the Theta Chi fraternity. He said his favorite part of Greek life is the opportunity to foster deeper connections. “Every year we just do a brotherhood up in the mountains where we get a big Airbnb, and it’s a dry event,” Sommer said. “It’s just like a threeday-long camping trip. I really appreciate those events where you really get to know people.” I took note that Sommer said his favorite part of Greek life is a dry event. While Sommer recognized that partying is a part of Greek life,

from the variety of interviews I conducted, it seems as though the appeal is greater than simply partying. When asked something that’s not common knowledge about Greek life, Anne Claire Tangen, a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority and a neuroscience student at CSU, said, “I just feel like we never talk about the philanthropy part. … This is so much of what we do. We spend so much time and effort in our philanthropies.”

“Partying is not the whole picture. Greek life can be a place to form deeper, more vulnerable relationships.” Though individuals boasted about the community and service among other positives, keep in mind that there can be some negatives to Greek life. Natalie Rose Beck, a third-year zoology major, resigned from her membership of the Delta

Delta Delta sorority. Beck said she “dropped because it was a very toxic environment. … Living in the house was just horrible for me. Girls were always talking about each other behind each other’s backs.” Beck said there was an unspoken social hierarchy, as while “most of the sororities are very anti-hazing, and they do a lot of hazing prevention. … It’s so much less physical with sororities and a lot more emotional and mental hazing.” It’s easy to understand how the Greek life environment could lead to interpersonal contention, given that these are large groups with a large variety of personalities and values. “You meet a lot of different people, and they just have a lot of interesting perspectives on a lot of different things like race and gender and politics, and getting all those different people in the same room is kind of weird,” Pitts said. In other words, vulnerability can be a double-edged sword. While Greek life may provide the opportunity for a group of individuals to be more vulnerable and speak on significant topics, the large mix of people can lend itself to harsh disagreements about subjects that hit close to home for many people.

In my own experience in Greek life as a part of the coed fraternity Alpha Phi Omega, I resonated with both the positives and negatives expressed by my peers. Though Alpha Phi Omega does not participate in formal recruitment and is in many ways non-traditional when compared to the Panhellenic organizations, many things still hold true. Based on my background and the information from the interviews, I came to a few basic conclusions about what one can expect from joining a Greek organization: ■ It is a good chance to find a community and build your network. ■ Greek life is an opportunity to participate in philanthropic activities. ■ Partying is a central part of the Greek life experience. If the idea of being in environments of heavy alcohol consumption turns you off, you should consider if Greek life is the right fit for you. ■ Partying is not the whole picture. Greek life can be a place to form deeper, more vulnerable relationships. ■ There are social hierarchies, and “cliques” are inevitable. If you’re thinking about rushing, give the decision some thought, but don’t be afraid to jump in. Cat Blouch can be reached at letters@ collegian.com.

Board of Governors’ decision contradicts University’s values By Cody Cooke @codycooke17

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. The Hughes Land Back initiative is an alliance of Indigenous locals aiming to regain stewardship of the land that used to be Hughes Stadium, currently owned by Colorado State University. In a statement released by the CSU System Board of Governors, the board declined to meet the initiative’s requests, describing the proposal as “inconsistent with the board’s duties.” The board’s decision on this issue directly contradicts our Principles of Community, reflects a lack of historical consideration and gives all CSU students a reason to not be proud of this institution. I’ve written about Hughes in the past, and I admit that my opinions were based on a shortage of knowledge and context surrounding this issue. After speaking with members of the Hughes Land Back initiative, I am reversing my previous stances. According to the initiative’s website, CSU did not receive “free, prior and informed consent” from Native people before planning the Hughes development. The board’s failure to work with Indigenous leaders on this issue blatantly violates our principles of inclusion, integrity and respect. If CSU was truly inclusive and acted with integrity and respect, Indigenous voices would have been central to discussion from the beginning.

“True reconciliation can never come with ‘economic benefit.’ Reconciliation is not supposed to benefit those who have already benefited for centuries.” Turning the land over to Indigenous stewardship would only extend the decision-making power to groups who have historically been left out of these conversations. Such action would speak more to inclusion and respect than the board’s performative rhetoric to “(continue) the conversation

thoughtfully and to continue to listen, learn and adapt.” Richard Williams, who is Oglala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne, believes CSU has an obligation to do right by Natives in Colorado. “(Hughes is) the first opportunity for the University to step up and do the right thing and begin the process of healing,” Williams said. He added that the 161-acre lot could be kept open to everyone, saying, “We don’t want to live separately.” The initiative has repeatedly emphasized that they share the University’s concerns over sustainability and equity in Fort Collins’ future. According to a press release shared with The Collegian via email, “intertribal leaders have suggested using the land for purposes that align with both the citizens’ will to keep it open space and the (City of Fort Collins’) Our Climate Future Plan.” For example, at a Hughes Land Back initiative public event on July 24, Williams proposed subterranean living as a way to provide energyefficient housing while preserving the grassland. Several individuals within the initiative mentioned plans for native food and medicine gardens using traditional ecological methods, emphasizing long-term considerations for development and “sevengenerations sustainability practices.” While subterranean housing isn’t an explicitly outlined goal for the initiative, ambitious ideas such as these align with CSU’s reputation for sustainability, but CSU has failed to bring Indigenous perspectives to the table because the University is not considering the full weight of history. The story of the United States, and Colorado, is a story of genocide. American history stands on the murdered and erased history of an entire continent. This absence is so overwhelming in the present that reconciliation can sometimes seem impossible. How could anything ever reconcile such a horrific past?

That is why it’s imperative to listen to Indigenous voices now. But the board’s statement completely brushes over this history: “Discussion around land stewardship is important across the United States, yet singling out Hughes as unique because of CSU’s Land Grant history is not an accurate representation of this parcel’s history.” Just a reminder: This entire continent was stolen, including the 161-acre Hughes plot. The board’s statement flagrantly contradicts CSU’s Land Acknowledgment and demonstrates that economics, not our Principles of Community, govern the board’s decisions. According to the statement, “disposing of such an asset (Hughes) without economic benefit is inconsistent with the board’s duties.” True reconciliation can never come with “economic benefit.” Reconciliation is not supposed to benefit those who have already benefited for centuries. Or should we add an “economic benefit” clause to CSU’s social justice Principle of Community? Criticisms aside, our University has a profound opportunity at its fingertips. CSU can restore land to Indigenous stewardship and “begin the process of healing” without jeopardizing its original goals. We can also encourage other land-grant universities across the nation to follow our example, kickstarting a continental movement that, for the first time in our history, welcomes the perspectives of those who have been left out for too long. Rams take care, and Rams take action. Let the University know that its performative actions are hypocritical. To echo the Hughes initiative, tell CSU and its Board of Governors to “take the next step: Move from land acknowledgment to land action and land back.” Cody Cooke can be reached at letters@ collegian.com.

Christinia Eala, an activist for Native American rights, speaks with other demonstrators at the Intertribal Alliance for Right Relations Aug. 22. Colorado State University is currently planning to develop housing and other facilities on the land.

A hiker at the Maxwell Natural Area passes a sign from the Intertribal Alliance for Right Relations Aug. 22. Colorado State University currently plans to develop the Hughes Stadium land, but activists hope the site could be used as a gathering place for Indigenous people.

The fight for Hughes continues As part of Ram Welcome, Colorado State University had an event to hike to “The A” from the Maxwell Natural Area. Upon their arrival, first-year students were met by demonstrators for the Intertribal Alliance for Right Relations for Hughes Land Back. This gathering focused on the future of the Hughes Stadium site. Currently, Colorado State University owns the land, despite efforts by the City to purchase the site and make it public land, due to a vote last November.

The land is to be developed into housing and other facilities for CSU faculty and students. The demonstrators at Maxwell Natural Area, which neighbors the Hughes site, have a different vision for how the land should be used. They are seeking to get the land returned to Indigenous people who have historically used it. Under Indigenous care, the land could serve as a gathering place for Native Americans. Christinia Eala was one of the demonstrators and has been an activist for Native American

rights for nearly 40 years. “What we would like is to have a gathering place out here, where we can come together as community,” Eala said. She envisions a center where Native Americans from Larimer County and Native American students at CSU could engage with their community, have meals and host presentations from Indigenous people from across the country. Such a center is not possible under the current plans CSU has for the Hughes land, so the Intertribal Alliance for Right

Relations for Hughes Land Back sought to get the word out about the Land Back Movement to the large groups of first-year students coming to hike to The A. Andy Nelson, the assistant director of outdoor programs at Campus Recreation, helped coordinate the hiking activity. He said he was excited to have Hughes Land Back around because it exposed students to “these local issues and challenges that we have as a community, especially as it relates to CSU and Land Back and equity as it

relates to Native populations.” Before embarking on the hike, many students stayed at the trailhead and listened to the demonstrators explain the Land Back Movement and their vision for the Hughes site. Lydia Lerma, another demonstrator at the event, said, “We hope that the CSU Board of Trustees and Regents will consider giving this land back to the rightful, original stewards.”

HISTORY

Harry Walker Hughes’ legacy continues By Tyler Meguire

@tmeguire In the fall of 1911, Harry W. Hughes assumed the role of director of athletics for Colorado Agricultural College, now known as Colorado State University. In 2021, CSU honors his legacy and is attempting to further cement it. Hughes was the director of athletics from 1911-53. At the same time, he was the head coach of the men’s track team until 1952. He also coached men’s basketball from 1912-25, baseball from 1912-14 and again in 1920 and football from 1911-41 and again in 1946. As a member of the NCAA National Rules Committee from 1926 to 1952, Hughes ensured the Aggies and other amateur teams were following the rules. He changed the way colleges were fielding teams. When Hughes

took over as director of athletics and head coach, he would only allow student-athletes to play if they had good grades. Prior to Hughes, local businessmen acted as assistant coaches to the different teams. Hughes made sure he was the only one coaching and got rid of the way they were doing things. His advocacy of fair play allowed him to be invited to the NCAA National Rules Committee, a board member of the American Football Coaches Association and even form his own coaching clinic in the summer to teach high school coaches. Hughes received the nickname Dean of American Football Coaches in 1935 because of his local and national recognition. In the same year, Hughes held the record for the longest continuous service at one school by a coach. Hughes was incredibly success-

ful as the Aggies men’s track head coach. In his time, he helped win five conference championships. He also coached seven All-Americans — most notably, Glenn Morris, a 1936 Olympic decathlon gold medalist. Hughes helped train Morris for the Olympics even after he graduated. To help train, Hughes made Morris an assistant coach in both football and track, so he always had access to the gym. Hughes also helped CSU build the Glenn Morris Field House — which allowed the creation of swimming and gymnastics at CSU — and Colorado Field. Prior to Hughes taking over as the football head coach, the Aggies only won a total of 10 games in their first five years. In his first five years, Hughes quickly improved the team’s wins and cut down losses and ties. Overall, Hughes had a record

of 125-92-18 (57 win percentage). Within that record, Hughes led the Aggies to eight conference championships between 1915 and 1934. He won three conference championships in quick succession (1915, 1916 and 1919). Because of Hughes’ accomplishments and role in molding the school football team to national recognition, CSU wanted to honor him. In 1968, the University completed a new stadium for the football team and named it Hughes Stadium. When CSU built Canvas Stadium in 2017, it said goodbye to Hughes Stadium as the home of the football team. This past year, however, CSU unveiled a plan to continue the legacy of the stadium: CSU aims to use the 70 acres of open space on the Hughes lot for a redevelopment plan “that addresses unmet needs for attainable

OLYMPICS

CSU Rams succeed at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics By Karsyn Lane

@karsynlane1 With summer coming to an end, we bid farewell to current and former Rams heading back to their various homes worldwide. After competing on the world’s biggest stage, the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games has concluded with a memorable competition for our Rams.

“Our track and field athletes headed out to compete and represent their hometowns, ensuring that the events were a huge success.”

In the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, Colorado State University was fortunate enough to be represented by five former and current studentathletes. These athletes are CSU senior Lauren Gale for Team Canada in women’s 4x400-meter relay; Shadae Lawrence, class of ‘19 for Team Jamaica in women’s discus throw; Mostafa Hassan, CSU class of ‘18 for Team Egypt in men’s shot put and sisters Kim Mestdagh and Hanne Mestdagh, classes of ‘12 and ‘15, respectively, for Team Belgium in women’s basketball. All but Lawrence, who participated in the 2016 Olympic Games, proudly represented their home country as a first-time Olympian. Our track and field athletes headed out to compete and represent their hometowns, ensuring that the events were a huge success. A major success was seen in Hassan and Lawrence’s performances, throwing the finest in their countries’ histories in the circle.

The athletes’ preparations for the Tokyo competition were demonstrated previously with outstanding qualifying numbers. Hassan qualified for the finals with a season-best 21.23m, and Lawrence threw an astounding 62.27m in the qualifying rounds. Numbers like these led the Ram Olympians to carry through to the final stats. Hassan placed eighth in men’s shot put with a 20.73m toss, and Lawrence placed seventh in women’s discus with a 62.12m toss. As for Gale, she was a reserve member of Team Canada’s fourth-place finisher in the 4x400-meter relay, missing the podium by a near .60 seconds. Gale, who was notably the youngest member on Team Canada, gained vital experience on her journey to wear the maple leaf and represent her hometown. As the summer games came to an end, Canada came in fourth with a time of 3:21.84, trailing Jamaica — 3:21.24, Poland — 3:20.53 and gold medalist United States

— 3:16.85. A true power team, the Mestdagh sisters have made a name for the game. Playing side by side, the Mestdagh sisters were members of their hometown team, the Belgian Cats, for women’s basketball. Basketball is nothing new to either of the sisters, regarding their stellar game history from their time at CSU. The Mestdagh sisters only played together for one season, 2011-12, on Moby Arena’s floor, when Kim was a senior and Hanne was a rookie. There was plenty of time for the well-needed power team to show out at the Tokyo Games, just as they did. The Belgian Cats went 2-1 in competitive games before losing to Japan in the quarterfinals. After holding a lead during the second and third quarter, Team Belgium fell short of one point, losing to Team Japan 86-85. The sisters, combined, received seven rankings. Kim ranked seventh in scoring with 14.8 points per game, sixth in total field goal attempts

with 52 and third in 3-point field goals made with 10. Hanne ranked eighth in 3-point field goal percentage at 47.1% with 8 made of 17 attempts and seventh in 3-point field goals made. With the games coming to an end, Kim and Hanne will continue their careers playing professionally and representing Belgium. Colorado State has a long and illustrious history of competing in the Olympic Games, both as a member of Team USA and as a representative of other countries. After the Tokyo Olympics, our five competitors boosted the total of Ram Olympians to 21. With plenty of time before the next Olympic Games, the anticipation for who may represent green and gold in the future leaves everyone wanting more. A very big Ram congratulations goes to the participating athletes for making history at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Karsyn Lane can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

SOCCER

CSU soccer gets the season going with Colorado Cup By Tyler Meguire

@tmeguire Colorado State University soccer kicked off its season last week with The Colorado Cup. On Aug. 9, the Rams welcomed Texas Tech University for an exhibition match to prepare for the season. The Rams dropped the match 4-0 but did something they have not been able to do since April: play another team. On Aug. 14, The Colorado Cup began for the Rams as they played host to neighbors University of Northern Colorado Bears. The match was another exhibition for the Rams, but its association with The Colorado Cup made it more meaningful.

“Once a game has been started and suspended, it must be restarted not later than three hours after the originally scheduled start time unless mutually agreed upon before the start of the game by the teams or determined by the governing sports authority.” NCAA RULEBOOK

UNC broke the tie early, scoring an unassisted goal in just the second minute of the game. For the remainder of the first half, neither team put another ball in the net. The Rams had eight shots, zero saves and one foul in the first half. The Bears finished the first half with the quality over quantity approach, as they were up 1-0 with one shot. UNC also recorded four saves in the first half. The second half featured scoring in bunches. In the 69th minute, Gracie Armstrong evened up the score 1-1 with an unassisted goal — Armstrong’s first of the day. A minute later, UNC got back on top with a goal from Haley O’Nan assisted by Britney Donais. In the 80th minute, Armstrong struck again with an assist by Caroline Lucas to tie the match 2-2. Neither team scored in the remaining minutes of regulation, and the match went into overtime. The Rams outshot the Bears 2-0 in the first OT but were still unable to

score. The match went into a second OT, and this time the Bears took control. UNC outshot CSU 2-0 but was unable to find the back of the net. CSU had two saves to keep the match tied, bringing its total to four saves during the exhibition. CSU finished with more total shots — 19-8; shots on target — 11-6; corners — 4-2; and percent of possession — 54-46 — than UNC. The Rams were able to provide many players with playing time. CSU had six substitutes play for at least 11 minutes. The Bears, however, managed to sub in 18 players for at least 12 minutes, including two goalie substitutions. The Rams traveled to Boulder on Thursday to try to turn things around from a loss and a tie in their first two matches. In the second match of The Colorado Cup, CSU played rival University of Colorado Buffaloes. The Buffs did not waste any time in this match, scoring three unanswered goals in the first half. In the 51st minute, however, the match was forced into a lightning delay. Rule 7.6.3 of the NCAA rule book states: “Once a game has been started and suspended, it vmust be restarted not later than three hours after the originally scheduled start time unless mutually agreed upon before the start of the game by the teams or determined by the governing sports authority.” Unfortunately for the Rams and Buffs, rule 7.6.3 came into play. After 56 minutes of delay, both teams were welcomed back onto the field. Right before the game could commence, both teams were pulled off the field for another lightning delay. The match had a total of 129 minutes of delay time and was officially called at 7:30 p.m. The Colorado coaches and administration attempted to get a make-up plan for the match but were unable to do so. The Rams will not get another chance to face their rival anytime soon. Still looking for the first win of the young season — and still without a loss in the tournament because of the events in Boulder — the Rams traveled to Denver to play the University of Denver Pioneers. The Rams and Pioneers watched the scoreboard remain at 0-0 under their names all game. When the game clock ticked to 91:10, the scoreboard read 1-0 in favor of DU.

CULTURE AND COMMUNITY

Community art museums allow for creative introspection By Hailee Stegall @haileenstegall

Fort Collins possesses a wealth of finely curated art museums within reach of students and community members. Regardless of your age, major or career, art museums tend to be capsules in space and time where the minutes don’t pass the same way. For college students especially, a brain vacation is sometimes just the thing for a stressed-out mind. Luckily for students, there is an easily accessible art museum conveniently placed across the street from campus. The Gregory Allicar Museum of Art is located at 1400 Remington St. in the University Center for the Arts. The museum has 3,500 works of art in their collection and rotates through exciting exhibitions on the regular. “(Art) can do a lot of different things,” said Lynn Boland, director and chief curator for GAMA, on the topic of what’s most important for students to take away from the art housed in the museum. “There’s the enjoyment side and the appreciation of art, but for me, at least, contemporary art is looking at current issues that are vital. I think art gives access to ideas and ways of thinking — it isn’t as linear as other forms (of art).” For example, a current exhibition titled “Reclamation: Recovering Our Relationship with Place” is part of the global art project “Extraction: Art on the Edge of the Abyss.” This project hones in on the extraction of natural resources from the earth, focusing on how it’s necessary for modern life and growth and also harmful to the overall health of the planet and its inhabitants.

An upcoming exhibition by artist Dionne Lee examines how our human forms move through landscapes both physically and emotionally and how different people’s landscapes hold different kinds of trauma with them — an exercise in empathy and understanding. In addition to housing exhibitions that are open to the public five days a week, GAMA has an array of virtual exhibitions on their website that are available around the clock during their exhibition periods. The museum is open Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m.-6 p.m., from 10 a.m.-7:30 p.m. on Thursdays and 1 p.m.5 p.m. on Sundays. GAMA is closed to the public Monday and Tuesday as well as University holidays and breaks. Admission is always free and open to everyone, regardless of student status. Off campus, a well-known and nearby art museum is the Museum of Art Fort Collins. The Museum of Art is located at 201 S. College Ave. in what was once the Post Office building. While going through many name changes and a move since its opening in 1983, this museum retains a nationally recognized standard of visual art within its walls. Lisa Hatchadoorian, executive director of the museum since 2014, stated that the most meaningful part of the museum business to her is “opening a world of art to the general public — everything from toddlers to seniors.” The art she speaks of follows a wide range of mediums. Their upcoming exhibitions this fall truly have something for everyone. Hatchadoorian spoke on the upcoming exhibition “Blow Up II: Inflatable Contemporary Art,” an exhibition featuring inflatable

yard art created by 11 different artists from around the country, calling it interesting “because it’s not a material you typically think of for high-level contemporary art.” “Blow Up II” runs from Oct. 29 through Jan. 9, 2022. The other fall exhibition is titled “Beauty and the Beast: An Unexpected Journey,” running from Aug. 27 to Oct. 17 and is a semi-collaborative sculpture exhibition by Lorri Acott and Adam Schultz from Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. Acott and Schultz describe their exhibition

as following the hero’s journey, exemplifying transformation and change — something that resonates deeply with college students in particular. Acott says that while hers and Schultz’s art represents the hero’s journey in their own lives, the couple also wants viewers to “come with their own ideas, their own thoughts, their own experiences, their own reactions to our art, and hopefully they’ll see things, find things that we haven’t even considered.” The Museum of Art Fort Collins accepted applications through

Aug. 15 for their 18th Annual Eye Center of Northern Colorado Masks Benefit. Artists have donated 2,750 masks over the years, and the benefit has raised over $1.7 million to support the museum’s mission: “to spread the power of visual art.” The museum is open to the public Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. as well as noon-5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Admission is $4 for students and $5 for adults. Hailee Stegall can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.
