Top-5 Mountain West volleyball teams prep for final games

By Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

With a little less than a month to go in the Mountain West volleyball season, the contenders are beginning to sort themselves out.

With the top three teams all within three games, the conference schedule in the season’s final days will pose several pivotal matchups.

Colorado State volleyball has won or split eight of the last nine

conference championships, making the tournament in each of Coach Tom Hilbert’s 21 seasons at the helm.

After multiple graduations, the Rams are fighting for another championship as the year draws to a close. Sitting at second in the conference, the team has a matchup with each of the four other teams in the top-five of the conference standings, with three of the four contests in Moby Arena.

Here is how the rest of the

Mountain West has fared thus far: Fresno State University (16-6, 8-1) RPI: No. 95 Key Wins: Colorado State (31), Wyoming (3-0), UNLV (3-1) Key Players: Taylor Stover, Madelyn Halterman, Halie Watson Led by senior outside hitter Taylor Stover, the Bulldogs have enjoyed their best start since 2003 where they began the year 21-6. In their first four games against the teams directly below

them in the standings, the Bulldogs have started 3-1, with the only loss coming on the road in Boise, Idaho.

With seven seniors, the Bulldogs possess one of the oldest teams in the conference. Exactly half of their roster graduates at the conclusion of the 2018 season.

At the forefront of their offensive charge, Stover has accrued 310 kills. In her final year, she has led the Bulldogs to the second-best kills per set in the con-

ference (13.13). In the middle, fellow senior Halie Watson has hit to a .344 percentage, good for fourth in the conference.

Playing the role of facilitator for the Bulldogs is junior Madelyn Halterman, the only setter in the conference within 100 assists of leader Katie Olesak of the Rams.

Her total of 834 is already the most of any season in her career, besting her freshman year total of

CITY

It’s business as usual for closing shops in downtown Fort Collins

By Ravyn Cullor @RCullor99

Mainline Ale House, La Luz, IHOP, Old Chicago, Bisetti’s and Al’s Newsstand have all left the streets of downtown Fort Collins in the last year, but the reasons behind the closures have been unrelated.

While the closure of a half-dozen restaurants and shops in the downtown area this year seems to be indicative of something larger, Fort Collins business experts say it’s just business as usual.

“Some of City Council asked us about the closures and whether or not it was the natural ebb and flow of the downtown cycle,” said SeonAh Kendall, the City of Fort Collins economic health manager. “A lot of the closures are based on unique situations.”

Kendall cited the salmonella outbreak for the closure of La Luz and changing business models and underutilization of space for Mainline. She said, according to the City’s research, the average lifespan of a restaurant in Fort Collins is six years, taking into account reapplication for business licenses after a buy-out.

Kendall, who owned Suehiro Japanese Restaurant in downtown with her husband until 2015, said the restaurant market in Fort Collins is “competitive, vibrant and collabora-

tive.”

Matthew Robenalt, the executive director of the Downtown Development Authority, said rents in the downtown area have increased, but those increases aren’t necessarily responsible for closures in the area. He compares the closure of the Old Chicago location in Fort Collins to a similar closure in Boulder, saying that a change in the company’s business model moved the restaurant out of all buildings that the company does not own.

Kendall said businesses may have signed a below-market lease agreement during the recession and property owners are expecting market value as the agreements expire.

The rapid succession of closure in the downtown area has opened vacancies for new businesses or growth of existing ones.

“Vacancy rate in our downtown is incredibly low for commercial space,” Robenalt said.

“A healthy vacancy rate would be around 4 or 5 percent. In downtown Fort Collins, the commercial vacancy rate is around 2 percent.”

Robenault said the closures of Old Chicago and Mainline have opened up an enormous space in a historic building, the likes of which haven’t been available since the opening of Mainline.

Kendall said, as businesses

move towards a buy-local and farm-to-table focus, good community relations and market understanding carries businesses who have survived the test of time, like the Silver Grill Cafe.

Between spaces from new and growing businesses and landmark institutions, both Kendall and Robenalt have seen growth in the market and have positive outlooks for the area’s future.

“Overall, both restaurant and retail are doing really well in downtown Fort Collins,” Robenalt said.

Professors prepare for over 7,000 spring semester courses

By Charlotte Lang @ChartrickWrites

Though most students may just be beginning to think about registering for spring classes, professors and faculty have long since started the process of setting next semester’s plans and schedules.

As of right now, there are 7,400 course sections scheduled for the spring 2019 semester.

Each course has to be organized into rooms across campus and scheduled appropriately by both the Registrar’s Office and individual departments.

SPRING 2019 REGISTRATION ACCESS DATES ■ Oct. 22

Graduate, Professional, Honors and Second Bachelor’s Students ■ Oct. 23 Seniors ■ Oct. 26 Juniors ■ Nov. 2 Sophomores ■ Nov. 9 Continuing Freshman ■ Registration Ready Available on RAMweb on Oct. 8, 2018 Courses for upcoming terms are scheduled through a build and draft process, according to the Registrar’s website. Under this process, course changes are entered in the Campus Planning Interface through a series of rounds to allow for term changes such as the addition of new sections or cancellations.

Once departmental changes have been entered for each round, schedulers must email Academic and Classroom Scheduling to establish process-

ing queue order.

According to the website, the academic and classroom schedulings are then done on a firstcome, first served basis.

Julia Murphy, associate registrar and chair of the Classroom Review Board, said University departments task their faculty members to develop new courses. The courses go through a developmental and college review process before being fully approved or denied by the University Curriculum Committee.

“Once courses are approved by the University Curriculum Committee, departments can request to schedule a section of the new course,” Murphy said.

“Students register for sections of courses.”

During the planning phase, sections may be canceled due to low enrollment, while others can be added to a department to meet demand.

“Departments often use information from the registration waitlists to help inform if new sections of courses are required to meet demand,” Murphy said.

Though there are similar processes, each department has its own system for how to schedule the approved courses and sections.

For example, Heidi Runge, academic support coordinator for graduate studies, said the microbiology, immunology and pathology department at the University schedules courses based on how they are set up in the catalog, referring to classes which may be offered during a specific year or semester.

“There are some instances, due to special circumstances, where classes may need to be canceled or offered off cycle,” Runge said.

Runge also said instructors have input on the day and time offering of a specific course, so long as their preferences do not create time conflict issues with other courses students need.

Dave Gilliland, chair of the

marketing department in the College of Business, said course scheduling is a function of student demand. The department has core courses that are always in high demand and a variety of elective courses that, depending on the topic, are also in high demand.

“We would all like to teach in the college so we aren’t sending students and faculty all over campus, but that isn’t always possible.”

DAVE GILLILAND DEPARTMENT CHAIR FOR MARKETING

Gilliland said that, occasion-

ally, there will be a course that is unpopular among students.

If such a course isn’t a learning priority for students, it will be offered less.

When it comes to scheduling courses, Gilliland said the department tries to have classes in Monday/Wednesday, Tuesday/Thursday and Monday/ Wednesday/Friday times in approximately equal numbers to fill available classroom space.

The goal intends to allow students more options in taking the courses.

Room scheduling is then set by the department’s scheduler. Classroom scheduling and is one area where preferences aren’t always possible to fulfill, Gilliland said.

“We would all like to teach in the college so we aren’t sending students and faculty all over campus, but that isn’t always

possible,” Gilliland said.

Runge said that, for the most part, departments do not have control over room scheduling and that most of the classroom spaces on campus are “general assignment”, meaning they do not belong to any department and are available for use on any course.

According to the Registrar’s website, classroom preference is given to sections that meet or exceed the University’s recommended 67 percent seat fill.

“Departments can request certain rooms for certain classes but based on the factors that room scheduling uses to make room decisions, they may not always be able to accommodate those requests,” Runge said.

USC reaches settlement with ex-gynecologist accused of assault

By Matt Hamilton & Harriet Ryan Los Angeles Times

The University of Southern California said Friday it had agreed to pay $215 million to former patients of Dr. George Tyndall, the first in what is expected to be a wave of payouts stemming from the sexual abuse scandal involving the longtime campus gynecologist.

The proposed settlement would provide $2,500 to any USC student treated by Tyndall during

his three-decade tenure and up to $250,000 to those who allege they were abused by him. As many as 17,000 students and alumnae are eligible, a university lawyer said.

Wanda Austin, USC’s interim president, said in a letter to the campus community that through the settlement, “we hope that we can help our community move collectively toward reconciliation.”

Austin said in an interview that administrators have not estimated how much the Tyndall scandal will cost the university in the end as “there are still unknowns here.”

The deal applies only to a federal class-action lawsuit and does not automatically resolve more than 400 other patient suits playing out in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Lawyers in those local cases lambasted the settlement as paltry and premature, and promised to continue pursuing their cases. They said the class settlement did not allow for a full accounting of USC’s handling of Tyndall. The doctor was allowed to practice at the student health center for 27 years despite numerous complaints that began in the early 1990s.

“They want to shut it down, close the loop and end the inquiry on the documents showing who knew what because it’s bad,” said John Manly, an Irvine-based attorney representing 180 of Tyndall’s former patients. “If you are in favor of secrecy about sexual assault and in favor of protecting sexual abusers, this is a great day for you.”

Tyndall has denied any wrongdoing. His attorney, Leonard Levine, has said that his client “continues to maintain that he engaged in no criminal conduct and that his medical examinations were always

within the standard of care.”

The settlement was negotiated in recent months between three law firms representing patients, USC lawyers and an attorney for Tyndall. U.S. District Judge Stephen V. Wilson must sign off on the deal in order for it to take effect. The money for the settlement would come from the university’s insurers and what Austin described as “capital reserves.”

past, it is my sincere hope that this timely settlement provides some measure of relief to those impacted and their families,” said Rick Caruso, chairman of USC’s board of trustees, in a letter to alumni.

USC’s legal team anticipates the agreement will attract many women who have not filed lawsuits to share in the $215 million, said Tara Lee, an attorney for USC with Quinn Emanuel Urquhart and Sullivan.

“Our hope is it would encompass as many former patients as possible,” she said.

Austin told the Los Angeles Times on Friday that it was important to her to include all women treated by Tyndall, rather than only those who alleged abuse, so that women who might be too intimidated to file a police report or a lawsuit could receive fair compensation.

“It provides privacy and certainty for how this is addressed,” Austin said.

Former patients contacted by the Times said they had quickly decided not to participate in the settlement.

Alexis Rodriguez, who complained to USC administrators about Tyndall in 1995, said she would press ahead with the suit she filed through her attorney, Gloria Allred.

“Two hundred and fifteen million dollars for USC for nearly 30 years of wrongdoing doesn’t sound equitable to me,” said Rodriguez, a federal probation officer.

In May, Michigan State University reached a $500 million settlement with 332 women and girls who say they were sexually assaulted by sports doctor Larry Nassar.

Penn State has paid out more than $100 million in sexual abuse cases involving assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

The USC class-action settlement’s $250,000 cap roiled plaintiffs’ attorneys. Mike Arias, who represents about 80 women in state court cases, said he had a number of clients _ “very prominent people” _ who suffered damages far in excess of that amount.

“You are going to have a lot of people opt out of this settlement, I will guarantee that,” Arias said.

Other critics objected to how the settlement forestalled the taking of sworn testimony and exchange of records, a process that can reveal damaging evidence about institutional failures.

Manhattan Beach lawyer John Taylor, whose firm represents about 100 state court plaintiffs, said that while he was pleased USC had acknowledged wrongdoing, he planned to push forward with depositions of university administrators and requests to review internal school records.

“We are still trying to figure out the cover-up and how it went on for so long,” he said.

tiate the class-action settlement, defended the deal, saying it offered security and avoided the potential trauma of testifying.

“Whenever you litigate, there’s a risk. And, sure, you could have come up with a verdict of more than $250,000, but you could have come up with a jury verdict of zero,” said Martin. In the settlement, she said, “You know what you are going to get, and you know the process to get it.”

Speaking shortly after the settlement announcement, Austin described first learning of Tyndall near the end of 2017, when she and fellow university trustees were briefed by then-President C.L. Max Nikias and his advisers.

Tyndall had left the university the previous summer under a secret deal that included a financial payout.

His departure followed an internal investigation into allegations of sexual harassment and racially inappropriate remarks.

When Nikias informed the board about Tyndall, Austin recalled, the emphasis was on his racial comments and “all the governance processes were working correctly.”

“I don’t think anybody understood fully the magnitude of it at that time,” she said.

Following the publication of the Times’ story, she said, she came to see that the real issue was inappropriate touching of patients’ genitals and suggestive remarks during exams.

“The realization it was about the gynecology ... you are looking at a different problem,” Austin said.

Fury among USC faculty led Nikias to step down, and a search for a successor is underway. Austin, a longtime aerospace executive and alumna, took control of the university on a temporary basis in August.

Since then, she said, she has talked to many former patients and parents of patients, and being a woman as well as a mother and a grandmother helped her grasp the scope of the problem.

Austin noted that USC’s student health clinic has been overhauled since Tyndall left and touted a new university office dedicated to investigating misconduct and promoting sound ethics.

“We have bright, smart people and are very dedicated to doing the right thing,” Austin said.

Asked why many of the administrators who handled Tyndall remained in their posts, and in some cases had been given more responsibilities, Austin indicated that she was waiting for the results of an internal investigation by law firm O’Melveny & Myers commissioned by trustees.

When it is concluded at the end of the year, she said, “we will respond.”

A Los Angeles Police Department investigation into Tyndall’s conduct in medical exams is ongoing, and detectives have presented 64 cases to sex-crimes prosecutors.

The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office is evaluating the cases.

No charges have been filed against the doctor.

Naloxone education can help curb overdose Madison Thompson @heyymadison

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by The Collegian or its editorial board.

I was leaving for San Francisco one night this past summer when a woman came running up from the platform shouting that someone was “dying” down by the tracks. My curiosity got the best of me so I hustled down the stairs to see what was happening.

Two police officers followed, and the three of us saw what the woman was shouting about: a man, likely homeless, slumped over on a pillar next to the tracks. A woman walked by saying that was her friend and she knew he had overdosed. The of-

ficer asked her on what, and she told him “fentanyl,” a highly potent opioid that is frequently cut with heroin because it’s cheaper and stronger.

This situation would make anyone feel helpless, but it

“Students could walk away with their own naloxone in the form of nasal spray. Hopefully they’ll never have to use it, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry.” adds insult to injury knowing this situation could have been turned around if someone nearby had been carrying Naloxone.

Naloxone works by stopping the central nervous and respiratory systems from depression and allows the patient to breathe normally. It comes

in three forms: injectable, auto-injectable and a nasal spray.

Most importantly, Naloxone is designed to be used without any previous medical training.

Seriously, anyone can do it.

By allowing people to administer Naloxone, we can virtually eliminate situations like this and deaths by overdose.

There were a total of 54 deaths from overdose including accidents, undetermined and by suicide in Larimer County in 2017.

Because of this, the Fort Collins Police Department has started carrying Naloxone, also referred to as Narcan.

Naloxone is a drug used to reverse an opioid overdose, something that has been on the rise in Colorado.

Everyone knows that you can get registered to vote on-campus thanks to the volunteers on the Plaza for the weeks leading up to the election. But, we should also invite volunteers to college campuses

Ghosts of CSU demand recognition

By Kenia Ortiz @Kenia_Ortiz_

Editor’s note: This is a satire piece from The Collegian’s opinion section. Real names may be used in fictitious/semi-fictitious ways. Those who do not read editor’s notes are subject to being offended.

Colorado State University ghosts have felt left out of CSU’s community for decades, especially on Halloween, and they want this Halloween to be different.

“We are a part of this community,” Ghost Bella said. “We have been here longer than they ever will be and we are not given our place.”

“These students talk on and on about spooky season and ghosts, but they fail to recognize our very spooky presence on campus.”

GHOST BILL CSU GHOST

On Oct. 15, Tony Frank agreed to sit down with the ghosts that reside on campus

and listened to their concerns.

Tony listened to the ghosts for six hours, six minutes and six seconds when he finally came to a solution that will allow them to feel like a part of the CSU community.

Ghosts are not allowed to leave their haunting location, but the playing of one song on the pipe organ allows them to leave their location for 24 hours.

Frank has been taking pipe organ classes every day at witching hour and will be playing the first song on an organ at 12 a.m. on Oct. 31.

An organ player is being installed in his office and speakers are being placed around CSU so that the sound of the pipe organ can release all ghosts.

CSU ghosts asked that Frank to play “Toccata and Fugue” by J.S. Bach as the song that will release them for the night since it is a ghostly favorite.

Once the song is played, all fellow ghosts will be able to freely roam CSU. “These students talk on and on about spooky season and ghosts,” Ghost Bill said. “But, they fail to recognize our very spooky presence on campus.”

The pianos around CSU will

be replaced with the spooky organ instrument that ghosts will be playing Halloween night.

The majority of the ghosts have been haunting CSU for decades, which has given them time to master the playing of the pipe organ, which is also a pre-requisite in order to be considered a ghost.

“We are not malicious beings,” Ghost Analisse said. “We just want to roam the campus grounds for a day. We have been held captive in our locations for years. We deserve freedom too.”

When asked what plans they had for Halloween night, the ghosts said they would be playing the pipe organs around CSU, visiting dorms and giving resident’s “the chills” to get them in the Halloween spirit and gathering at RamSkellar.

The ghosts have not seen one another in years and would love the opportunity to have a beer and converse.

“It is time for us to come out of the shadows and enjoy Halloween with the rest of the CSU community,” Ghost Lucifer said. “And if we continue to be ignored, we will make sure our presence on this campus is recognized.”

Kenia Ortiz can be reached at letters@collegain.com.

to give quick demonstrations on the importance of Naloxone, and how to administer it.

Our brains naturally have opioid receptors. Overdoses occur when too many opioids attach to too many receptors.

This slows down and stops breathing because oxygen is unable to flow to the brain. Naloxone has a stronger affinity to the receptors and can knock them off the receptors for a short time.

Alternatively, administering Naloxone could be a quick addition to CPR training. One of the easiest and most effective ways to reduce deaths by overdose is simply to educate people about them and what they can do in the event they encounter someone experiencing one.

Over 200 pharmacies in Colorado carry Naloxone and you do not need a prescription to buy it.

There are other things you can do to mitigate overdoses.

Time is of the essence during an

overdose, so you should always call 911 immediately if you suspect someone is experiencing an overdose.

A controversial idea, yet one that has shown success, are supervised injection sites. These are places where people who use opioids and other drugs can go to use under the supervision of trained professionals.

Evidently, this idea is unpopular for some because it seems to support the use of hard drugs. This is an easy point to make, but overlooks the fact that people are going to use these drugs no matter what.

Drug users have to want to stop before they decide to actually make that lifestyle change, so in the meantime, providing Naloxone to the general public is still a great and safe way to save lives.

Hillyer awarded Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week

By Adam Williams @AdamJ_Williams

Colorado State volleyball again found themselves with a Mountain West Player of the Week.

Redshirt junior Kirstie Hillyer earned Mountain West Conference Defensive Player of the Week. This follows on the heels of CSU junior Paulina Hougaard-Jensen winning Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week.

This is Hillyer’s third career Mountain West Conference Weekly award.

Hillyer’s efforts ledthe Rams defensively to wins against the University of New Mexico and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Hillyer accumulated 13 blocks between the two matches including four solo blocks, an average of nearly two blocks per set.

Hillyer was also effective on the scoring front. She tallied 20 kills for the week and was ex-

tremely efficient against New Mexico,posting a team-high .533 hitting percentage.

The redshirt junior helped hold New Mexico to a .059 hitting percentage and UNLV to a .154 hitting percentage, the second lowest percentages for each team this season.

As a team, the Rams were so efficient that they only required one extra set against New Mexico and no additional sets against UNLV where the Rams took home a sweep.

The Rams have not lost a match in a week that one of the players has been awarded a Mountain West Weekly award and are currently on a fivegame winning streak.

Hillyer and the Rams will look to build on their victories when they take on San Diego State University at home this Thursday in the first game of a three-game homestand.

Volleyball >> from page 1

823, with nine games still remaining in the regular season for the team.

The Bulldogs are second in both assists per set and kills per set. The team also boasts a pair of players in the top-10 for hitting percentage and aces per set.

With a rank barely in the top 100, the Bulldogs have faced and defeated the lowest level of competition this year of the top three in the conference, signaling a conference championship requirement to make the postseason.

Winning each of the remaining matchups against the four other teams in the top five would nearly lock them into a title.

Colorado State University (16-6, 8-2) RPI: No. 51 Key Wins: Florida State (3-2), Lousiana State (3-0), Boise State (3-0) Key Players: Katie Oleksak, Breana Runnels, Kirstie Hillyer With the graduations of key players such as Jasmine Hanna and Sanja Cizmic, the Rams have been forced to adjust thus far. Last year’s MW Newcomer of the Year and kills-leader, redshirt sophomore Breana Runnels did return for the team though. Through the first 22 games of the year, Runnels leads the Rams with 305 kills.

Distributing the ball for the team is last year’s MW Player of the Year, junior Katie Oleksak. The third-year setter leads not only the team but the entire conference in assists (898). Oleksak has continued the trend of leading setters in the conference, with four of the top-five all-time assists leaders for a season in MW history playing under Hilbert.

The Rams also boast two topfive blockers by set averages in the conference in redshirt junior Kirstie Hillyer and junior Paulina Hougaard-Jensen, both from the middle blocker spot. Both players have earned conference player of the week accolades, with the most recent being Defensive Player of the Week for Hillyer last week.

After a slow start in a rigorous out-of-conference schedule, the Rams have won five-in-a-row, improving their hitting percentages throughout. The rebuilding of their attack was evidenced by a season-high .442 hitting percentage against Utah State University Oct. 13.

Due to matchups against several high-level teams in their out-of-conference portion of their schedule, the Rams are set up for yet another NCAA tournament appearance if they keep pace with the Bulldogs. A conference championship would guarantee an appearance but is not a requirement as long as they win a majority of their final matchups.

RPI: No. 81 Key Wins: Colorado (3-2), Arizona State (3-1), Colorado State (3-1) Key Players: Emily Lewis, Reed Copeland, Madi Fields Unlike the two teams previously mentioned, the Cowgirls boast a diverse offense, featuring five different hitters with over 150 kills on the year.

Leading the way are seniors Emily Lewis and Reed Copeland.

On the offensive end, Lewis leads the team in kills with 190 from her outside hitting position. Leadership from outside is in its second year for Lewis as she registered 304 last year.

Copeland serves as the pinnacle of the versatility for the Cowgirls, with success on both ends of the floor. The fourth-year middle blocker leads the team in blocks with 139 total, as well as a thirdbest mark on the team in kills with 176.

Along with their leaders on the floor, the Cowgirls possess a distinct home-court advantage in the conference, playing in one of the loudest arenas due to its size in the MW. The leg up proved vital in their match against the Rams as the senior-laden squad overtook the reigning champions in a mere four sets.

The Cowgirls are in an interesting spot at No. 81 in the RPI. They have the opportunity to creep into contention for the postseason, nary a championship.

The only possible way for them to capitalize without a conference trophy would be losing two or fewer games the rest of the way, with wins against the Rams and Bulldogs being necessary.

University of Nevada-Las Vegas (15-7, 6-4) RPI: No. 116 Key Wins: Boise State (3-0), Wyoming (3-1), Fordham (3-1) Key Players: Mariena Hayden, Antonette Rolda, Elsa Descamps

Despite being fourth in the conference, the Rebels have already beaten the Broncos and Cowgirls in convincing fashion, with both coming at home.

The team is led by a defense that allows the fewest opponent kills per set in the conference (10.89). The mark comes despite the Rebels not hosting a single player in the top-10 in blocks in the conference. Their prominence on the defensive end is spearheaded by senior Elsa Descamps and freshman Kate Brennan leading the way through the middle blocking spot.

The pair of 6-foot-2-inch blockers lead the team in blocks with 86 and 42 respectively, with the larger mark coming from Descamps.

On the offensive end, sophomore outside hitter Mariena Hayden poses as the far-andaway kills leader with 382. The second-year hitter has the lead in kills for the MW, and holds the lead in points by over 100 as well.

Despite their success on both ends of the court, the Rebels are relying on the help of several teams below them in the standings. Without multiple upsets of the three teams ahead of them in the MW standings, the Rebels have a small chance of making the postseason, with a conference champioshnip being their lone route.

Boise State University (13-8, 5-5) RPI: No. 121 Key Wins: Fresno State (31), Milwaukee (3-2), Long Beach State (3-2) Key Players: Sabryn Roberts, Morgan Hughes, Danielle Boss Unlike the four teams above them in the conference, the Broncos have not accrued more wins than loses in the MW. Their .500 mark comes courtesy of middling rankings in every statistical category compared to their MW counterparts. Blocks

are an area the Broncos have excelled in thus far though, ranking third in the conference in blocks per set (2.49).

Leading the Broncos at the net are freshman middle blocker Jessica Donahue and senior Morgan Hughes from the same spot.

Both middles are averaging over a block per set.

Seniors Sabryn Roberts and Hughes also lead the offensive charge with Roberts posting a team-high 306 kills this year. The mass amount of kills have come on a .258 hitting percentage and

exactly 200 more attempts than the second-leading Bronco, sophomore Kiley Lewis.

The Broncos prospects of making the postseason took a hit when they started their conference schedule 2-3, with a pair of the loses coming to San Diego State University and San Jose State University. Each of the two are now behind the Broncos in the standings, with their wins over the squad looming large.

STONED VS. SOBER

Greta Van Fleet wastes potential on debut album

By Henry Netherland @NetherlandHenry

Editor’s note: The activities portrayed in this article were done legally and in a safe environment.

Michigan rock quartet Greta Van Fleet has arrived with their debut album, “Anthem of the Peaceful Army.” The band continues riding the hype generated after the success of their two 2017 EPs.

THE ALBUM ■ Overall: 6/10 ■ Best Tracks:

“The New Day,” “Watching Over,” “Anthem” ■ Worst Track: “You’re the One” In an era where rock is steadily declining in popularity while rap takes its place, rock fans see the band as a glimmer of hope for the genre’s return to the limelight. What has garnered Greta Van Fleet so much attention is that they sound eerily similar to ‘70s rock gods Led Zeppelin. Even fans of the newer band will openly admit to the sonic similarities. In fact, it is often a selling point.

In past reviews, I have tried to examine a few songs individually both high and sober to give a glimpse of an album’s overall quality. For this album, I felt like explaining my conceptual issues with the group as a whole and saving the musical assessment for the stoned section.

Sober listening To be blunt, I do not see Greta Van Fleet being relevant for more than five years. I think what initially turned me off from the band was when Lava Records Executive Jason Flom boldly claimed in a Wall Street Journal article that the band would help bring back rock to its original ambiance of past decades.

“With their retro sound, youthful energy and good looks, Greta Van Fleet could appeal to three key demographics,” Flom said in the article. “Older ‘classic-rock Dads’ who tune into rock radio shows and attend classic-rock concerts, younger male fans curious about ‘60s and ‘70s rock, soul and funk; and young women who, in the past, have helped mainstream rock bands become pop stars.”

This is the most out of touch statement I have heard all year.

A band writing music in the exact same style as Led Zeppelin

will not bring rock back to its peak form, end of story. Music and art are inherently progressive, and while certain aspects of older styles may be repurposed for modern trends, styles and aesthetics will naturally change.

A common defense against criticism of the band is that they are kids making the music they want and letting them have their fun, a sentiment I completely agree with. However, it is true that to stay relevant in the music industry, it is essential to avoid morphing into one’s influences.

If the group continues laying in the shadows of Led Zeppelin, at what point do they just become a glorified cover band?

One smoke session later…

F*ck everything I just said.

This album’s amazing and Greta Van Fleet will live forever.

Only partially kidding, I can’t really deny the group’s raw talent. Lead vocalist Josh Kiszka has the vocal chops to match his influences. He excels during his performance of “Watching Over,” in which his vocal range spastically jumps everywhere on the verses. I also love the trippy reverb guitar solo in the middle.

“You’re the One” is the first of two ballad cuts. I like the guitar layering as well as the overall chord progressions, however, the sing along chorus contains some of the album’s corniest lyrics. “The New Day” has some super optimistic lyrics with even brighter melodies. Kiszka soars over the bouncy acoustic instrumental.

MORE INFORMATION ■ “Anthem of the Peaceful Army”

can be found on Spotify and iTunes.

The song I was the most conflicted on was “Anthem,” which was the other acoustic cut of the album. I think it’s Kiszka’s most awkward performance. However, I still enjoy the harmonious production and anthemic quality chorus.

Overall, this album isn’t bad.

I’ll admit that the band members are incredibly virtuosic given their ages. I also have to give credit to the production for being so explosive. With more tools at their disposal, Greta Van Fleet is clearly trying to add an extra level of grandeur to their already wild sound. Despite all of the surface-level appeals, though, the unoriginality is just too large to ignore.

Crossroads Safehouse to educate community on domestic violence

By Julia Trowbridge @chapin_jules

From a four-bedroom home to a safehouse that holds 500 people, Crossroads Safehouse is expanding on their mission to help victims of domestic abuse and violence.

Crossroads Safehouse will host a breakfast called “WeCare Breakfast for Change” Oct. 25.

It will be part of their outreach on domestic violence and abuse awareness for National Domestic Abuse Awareness Month.

“There’s not one particular religion, ethnic background, (or anything) domestic violence affects,” said Lisa Popeau, executive director of Crossroads Safehouse. “It happens, and we have a shelter full of people that are as diverse as you can imagine.”

The breakfast will take place from 7-9 a.m at the Hilton, free of charge, and will feature two women who live in Northern Colorado who have dealt with domestic violence: Sarah Mondragon, whose daughter was shot when she broke up with her boyfriend, and Ann Marie Doolittle, who was stabbed multiple times after leaving her husband.

“The cool thing is that these two people are willing to talk about the trauma they endured to help other people,” Popeau said. “For me, that is so inspirational and it takes so much courage. These are amazing people who have really gone through the worst that anybody can possibly imagine and said, ‘You know what I’m going to do? I’m going to help other people.’”

Crossroads Safehouse’s Development Manager Morgan Vanek said she thought it was critical for the speakers to be local in order to bring awareness to the domestic abuse and violence that is happening in Fort Collins. In Larimer County, one in 10 criminal cases are related

to domestic violence, and those are only the cases that are prosecuted right and people who are caught, Vanek said.

“I truly believe that domestic violence gets its power from silence.

So the more we talk about it, the less power it has.”

MISSY VAN SICKLE CROSSROADS SAFEHOUSE OUTREACH PROGRAM MANAGER

Despite Crossroads Safehouse helping around 3,500 people annually and housing around 500 people in their shelter, Vanek said that when talking about her work with friends, they tend to question the need for a safe house in Fort Collins.

“Because in Fort Collins, this is such a nice place, right?”

Vanek said. “We’re all going to put on our Patagonia vests and go hike a trail, and when we come down we’ll drink a beer and everyone’s happy. But really, these horrific acts of violence are happening here, just like it is everywhere else, so being able to shine a light on that is the first step for getting that community awareness and that education piece.”

Although Crossroads Safehouse is mainly known for being a safe house, they also do community education and have an outreach program for people in need. In addition to being a safe house, Crossroads Safehouse speaks at the Poudre School District and Colorado State University on domestic violence and the resources they offer.

“It’s important for people to realize that Crossroads is here to support people because it’s

happening regardless,” said Kelly Pryor, Crossroads Safehouse’s outreach program coordinator.

“It’s important to have someone in your corner and you can tell really awful things to and we’re just there to sit with you through it. Otherwise, you’d just be sitting through it by yourself and that’s so much worse.”’

Crossroads Safehouse has programs such as the bilingual Domestic Abuse Response Team and are available to simply talk with people about their personal situation, said Missy Van Sickle, Crossroads Safehouse’s second outreach program manager. Both Van Sickle and Pryor

have worked with CSU students, whether they were volunteers for Crossroads Safehouse or if they needed assistance with domestic abuse or violence.

safe plan to get out of the relationship, Pryor said. Through their efforts to educate people about domestic violence, the main message that Crossroads Safehouse wants to communicate is that domestic violence and abuse are happening in Northern Colorado, and the first step to fixing that is talking about it.

“I truly believe that domestic violence gets its power from silence,” Van Sickle said. “So the more we talk about it, the less power it has.”

Jonah Hill’s LA story smells like teen spirit

By Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune

Everything impressive and overstated and bombastic and affecting about Jonah Hill’s breakthrough performance in “Superbad” (2007), dozens of movies ago, translates to the actor’s directorial feature debut, the semi-autobiographical slice of life “Mid90s.”

Hill also wrote this technically accomplished, sporadically heartbreaking portrait of a rough, risk-prone adolescence.

I found it far tougher to watch, at its harshest, than just about any recent movie about a kid adrift in what Hill calls the “animal kingdom.” It owes a debt to Larry Clark’s “Kids,” unfortunately, as well as several really good coming-of-age chronicles.

It’s more nerve-wracking than “Eighth Grade,” by a factor of several hundred. It’s a tougher sit than “Hereditary,” in fact.

Its first shot fixes the action inside a small house somewhere in LA in the 1990s. We’re looking at an empty hallway. Two boys, brothers, tumble into view, hit the wall and the crunch of the younger one’s face against drywall is deafening. (Hill cranks the sound at all the obvious moments throughout.)

This is Stevie (played by Sunny Suljic), and his mean, unhappy older brother, Ian (Lucas Hedges). Their mother, Dabney

(Katherine Waterston), doesn’t seem to intervene in much of anything, until Stevie starts hanging around with his new tribe, a group of skateboarders including a perpetually videotaping kid named Fourth Grade (Ryder McLaughlin); Ruben (Gio Galicia), Stevie’s surly, insecure mentor; the one with the unprintable moniker combining two world-famous swear words (Olan Prenatt); and the older, wiser, kinder Ray (NaKel Smith), Stevie’s friend and protector in the later scenes of “Mid90s.”

‘MID90S’ Now playing at: ■ The Lyric and Cinemark Fort Collins 16

Fleeing from an abusive sibling, Stevie explores this wondrous, intimidating world of the slightly older, cooler, rougher kids outside his house. Stevie learns to smoke, and drink, and get high, and skate, a little. He learns never to say thank you because, as Ruben snarls, it makes him sound “gay.”

Shot with sleek, vaguely falsifying assurance by cinematographer Christopher Blauvelt, the film darts from home to skate shop, from skate park

to skate park, from brawl to car crash, while the soundtrack lays in the GZA rap and ambient, don’t-worry-it-gets-worse dread from composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Hill attracted a classy group of collaborators, and his on-screen talent, mostly amateur, works well in the context of the movie. Much of the dialogue feels improvised, sometimes effectively; all of it, however, presents Stevie as a generic, rather than specific, bundle of heartfelt good intentions and spongelike adaptability.

Eleven at the time of filming, Suljic handles everything from a dicey sexual initiation scene (Alexa Demie plays the barely characterized older girl drawn to the sensitive newbie) to an arresting, abbreviated emotional blowout with Waterston. This crucial scene’s over before it starts, frustratingly. Vivid in bits and pieces, “Mid90s” feels like a research scrapbook for a movie, not a movie. The more Hill throws you around in the name of creating a harsh, immediate impression, the more the impressions blur.

Hill will make far better pictures: As an actor, it took him a few films after “Superbad” to discover the payoff in doing less, and less obviously. The director in him may need another project to figure that out, whatever story he tells next.
