Students for Life awarded $600 following free speech suit By Seth Bodine @sbodine120
Colorado State University settled a federal free speech lawsuit this summer filed by an anti-abortion student group for not funding an anti-abortion speaker event through a diversity grant. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of CSU Students for Life by attorneys at Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian nonprofit organization. CSU settled May 30, giving the group $600 to compensate for funding the speaker. CSU had a diversity grant
meant to fund events that enhance the educational and cultural aspects of university and raise awareness of differing perspectives. Student for Life’s proposal was denied because the event did not seem unbiased, and the committee worried attendees from various sides of the issues “won’t necessarily feel affirmed while attending the event.” The grant was indefinitely suspended in February to review grant processes. Now it is discontinued, Tyrell Allen, program coordinator of campus activities said. Students for Life viewed the
grant as being an unconstitutional policy held by CSU. “Colorado State University has agreed to drop unconstitutional policies that enabled university officials to deny a student organization’s funding request strictly because of the group’s pro-life views,” ADF wrote in a news release. Emily Faulkner, the former president of Students for life, decided to file the lawsuit because she believed the grant was subjective and did not truly promote diverse perspectives. While the group was allowed to bring the speaker to campus, they could not use the diversity grant as a
means of funding. “The title is the ‘diversity grant,’ but it really did not promote true diversity like it said,” Faulkner said. “It was extremely subjective to the people who chose who the grant goes to, so it’s really all their opinion.” The lawsuit, Students for Life at Colorado State University v. Mosher, states public universities cannot discriminate against student speech in a public forum on the basis of content or viewpoint. The complaint asked the court to halt the University from applying a double-standard by funding other groups’ speaker events on similar topics.
The complaint also argues CSU has funded other events like the one the students applied for in the past. Since Students for Life pays the same mandatory activity fees as other students in order to fund grants, the lawsuit states the students are entitled to viewpoint neutral access to student fees allocated by the University. “University officials shouldn’t use mandatory student fees to favor some views while shutting out others,” ADF senior counsel Tyson Langhofer said. “We commend Colorado State for making the necessary see LAWSUIT on page 5 >>

Danforth Chapel, which had its historic stained glass window broken during a burglary during the fall of 2016, replaced the broken window in summer 2017. The total preliminary cost for the window is less than $10,000 as of now, according to Fred Haberecht, assistant director of facilities management at CSU. Emil Frei and company has partnered with the University in order to repair the window. They used pictures taken of the window, as well as some of the stained glass that was salvaged after the burglary. The window, installed in 1954, was designed by Emil Frei and Company, of Saint Louis. The window featured nondenominational artwork titled “The Genesis.” Currently, Danforth Chapel is nominated to be on the National Register of Historic Places. If accepted, it would join 14 other buildings on campus which are listed on the register. This article was previously published on July 13, 2017. Julia Trowbridge can be reached at news@collegian.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Parking restrictions target freshman ‘Defend Our Future’ By Spencer Reed @sbreed96
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 a new on-campus football stadium, Colorado State University is asking its students to perform a ridiculous favor. The school will now be requesting a plethora of students to move their cars by a specific time prior to game day or else they will be paying a price. I believe the school is asking of too much, already seeing how parking around campus is a prominent issue. (Make clear that freshman will be the most effected by this) The new stadium has raised plenty of questions. One question being how the university will handle traffic issues related to the new field. However, one large question that must not be overlooked is: where the heck are students supposed to park? Currently CSU is making it mandatory that students move their cars from the following lots the day before game day: Hughes Way – lot #210 Hughes Way – lot #410 Ingersoll Hall – #215 Edwards Hall – lot #220 Academic Village – lot #230 Newsom Hall – lot #236 Braiden Hall – lot #470 Green Hall – Lot #164 Summit Hall – lot #245 Students are offered to park their vehicles to parking lots associated with: Westfall – lot #115 Parmelee – lot #145 University Square – lot
#575 South College Avenue Garage – lot #577 If cars are not moved between 4 and 8 PM on Friday, the day before kick-off, they will be towed and issued a parking citation. CSU has specifically mentioned on their student re-park information page, “all towing fees and citations are the sole responsibility of the individual registered to the vehicle.” The first Friday that students are expected to move will be August 25th, when CSU takes on Oregon State during the stadiums inaugural game. Throughout the season, students of the university will be asked to
Dates you must move your car include: ■ September 8 ■ October 13 ■ October 27 ■ November 10 ■ November 17
move their vehicles a total of six times. The parking related inconveniences have the potential to add to the current parking problems around CSU’s campus. Parking around the university has been bad enough in the past that students resulted in choosing to park just off of campus for free. However, there have been some changes to that recently. In March, The City of Fort Collins increased the
boundaries of its Residential Parking Program (RP3) to accommodate for the influx of parking surrounding campus. The borders of the program now encompass parking zones north of campus between Laurel and Mulberry Street. Moreover, the program covers zones from Remington east to Peterson, as well as Edwards south to Prospect. Areas in around campus have been recently labeled two-hour parking zones, where anyone may park for the allotted two hours once per day. Residents already living in these areas qualify for free parking permits for street parking, however, must pay a fee for more than one permit. Residents are also permitted two guest vehicles per parking permit. Those who do not qualify for these permits, i.e. students, will receive parking citations if found parked in one of these locations for more than the allowed two hours. Parking has been a continuous issue at Colorado State University, and now it is marginalizing our freshman class. I believe asking students to move their cars on game day is far-fetched, because it will most likely add to the current parking fiasco. Furthermore, with offcampus parking become less and less of an option, parking around CSU in general is becoming a greater challenge for students.

works with students to protect environment By Brooke Sayre-Chaves
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. Dear Collegian, Forty years is a long time. Forty years ago we didn’t have the technology for MRIs, the ability to sequence a genome, and almost no one had ever seen or used a microwave yet. The current budget cut proposal towards the EPA means they would have the lowest budget they’ve had in forty years (adjusted for inflation) and that is frightening. This is such a huge step backwards and we really can’t afford to let this happen. We need to fight any budget cuts being proposed because our air and water, our life sources, are being threatened by these cuts. This shouldn’t be a political
fight, it’s literally a fight for life. There are many other cuts being debated right now, but we can’t let the environment fall in the shadows of these other pressing issues. We need clean air and water to live. Defend Our Future works with students to get others informed and involved in protecting our Earth. A lot of what we do is reach out to our senators to make sure they hear our individual voices, as well as listen to their voters when they make decisions that affect all of us. Especially now, it is important everyone makes sure that their voices are heard. I encourage all of you to reach out and voice your opinions and concerns to your representatives so we can see the changes we all need.

Inside ASCSU: The Summer Months As students left for summer break, the new Associated Students of Colorado State University administration went to work in preparation for the return of their fellow rams. This summer, the Silva-Wells administration has been working on several projects and initiatives, including: student tailgating, innovation and technology development, safe and efficient access to transportation and digital access to The Wall Street Journal. Tailgating: This semester marks the first season in the new on-campus football stadium, which means there is a new process for tailgating. There are two main areas for tailgating: the “MOB” area and the TILT student tailgating lot, located behind The Institute for Learning and Teaching building. The TILT student tailgating lot is open to the general student population. Students can reserve a spot, park their car, grill, bring coolers and drink, provided they are over the age of 21, in this area. ASCSU President, Josh Silva, and Director of University Affairs, Nathan Rhine, have worked with both the CSU administration and CSU Athletics to update the process for securing a TILT lot tailgating pass. Students can fill out an application for the TILT lot on the ASCSU website. Applications are accepted on a first come, first serve basis and will close 48 hours prior to each football game. Those who secure a spot will receive an email with information about the next steps in the tailgating process along with a copy of the game day alcohol policy. Once approved, students can pick up their tailgating pass at the Lory Student Center Box Office. Innovation and Technology: A focus of the current ASCSU administration is to promote innovation and technological advancements as well as reduce and eliminate wasteful practices. To promote this initiative, a new position within ASCSU, Director of Innovation and Technology, has been introduced. The goal of this position is to streamline technological initiatives occurring across campus and present a unified and cohesive student perspective. ASCSU is also launching a new website that will include greater functionality for students. This includes an area for students to submit ideas for pieces of legislation, an easy to navigate student fee page that will explain how student fees are allocated and, finally, an online application for CSU students and student organizations to register for tailgating in the TILT lot. RamRide and Transportation: During the spring of 2017, RamRide and Off-Campus Life launched the RamRide mobile application that allows students to request a safe ride home. Throughout the summer ASCSU has been in conversation with RamRide on ways to continue to improve service and technological initiatives.
“We appreciate the work that RamRide and Off-Campus Life did to make this resource a reality,” said ASCSU Vice President, Michael Wells. “We want all students to download and utilize the app.” In addition to RamRide, ASCSU has collaborated with the Alternative Transportation Fee Advisory Board and the City of Fort Collins to provide greater access to the Transfort Gold Route by removing the $1 fee. The Gold Route, which is now free to everyone, is a late-night service route that runs from 10:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. every Friday and Saturday from downtown Fort Collins to West Campus. Access to The Wall Street Journal: Finally, ASCSU has collaborated with the College of Business, the College of Liberal Arts and Commitment to Campus to provide every CSU student with a digital subscription to The Wall Street Journal for an entire calendar year. “This is something students have been asking for a long time,” said Silva. “This pushes us toward digital sustainability, and it also helps to enrich the conversation.” While students, faculty and staff will be able to access the daily copy of The Wall Street Journal online, there will be a limited amount of printed papers available 15 weeks out of the semester. Access to the paper will be available within the first few weeks of school. Students will be able to sign up for memberships with their CSU eID. As a new semester officially begins, Silva looks forward to working for and with the students at CSU. “We’re excited to have students coming back to campus, it’s going to be a positive, productive and transformative year for CSU,” concluded Silva. If you would like more information about ASCSU, visit the ASCSU Office in the Lory Student Center.

White: CSU football’s biggest growth will come on the road By Austin White @ajwrules44
The hype during the first week of school at Colorado State is centered around the brand new on-campus stadium that the Rams will play in for the first time on Saturday. But, for true fans of the Rams, the focus is on how well the team does the whole year, not just in the opener. So, while the new stadium is a great rallying point, the Rams’ early season road games are going to be the ones that will tell us what kind of team we will see this year. The first test will be down in Denver for the annual Rocky
Mountain Showdown against the rival Colorado Buffaloes. Rams fans need no reminder that CSU lost this game last year 44-7. CU went on to be a top 10 team in the national polls during the season and was one win away from taking the Pac12 championship. The Buffs lost plenty of talent, but are still receiving votes in the national polls and have all the makings of an explosive offense. They have quarterback Steven Montez who, at times, looked even better than graduated senior Sefo Liufau last year. They also have running back Phillip Lindsay and wide receiver Shay Fields who can help keep them
in Pac-12 contention. One of the weaker points for the Rams all preseason has been in the defensive secondary. An early test against a top-tier wide receiver core and a passcatching running back can call the Rams into action. If the CSU secondary can put up a fight and hold their own, they could have the confidence for the rest of the season to trust their defense can withstand an upper echelon offense. Assuming that the Rams’ offense performs better than it did in the showdown last year, they will be able to allow 20 or
30 points and still compete. Quarterback Nick Stevens had one of the worst games of his career last year and lost his starting job because of it. Stevens will more than likely be looking for some revenge and to continue the offensive fire he finished last season with. CSU could take this game if the defense can show what it is made of. The offensive potential is there to light up the scoreboard, and it is up to the defense to make sure this does not turn into a shootout. The Rams will play Abilene Christian University at home
before taking on the most daunting task that any college football team could be asked to do: travel to Alabama. The Crimson Tide will host the Rams in their fourth contest of the year and this could be the coming out game for CSU, even if they get blown out of the water. Four years ago, CSU actually had Alabama within their reach as they were down 17-6 in the fourth quarter with the ball. As most fans know, the wheels fell off and CSU ultimately lost the

Local artist turns passion into career PROFILES
By Sarah Ehrlich96 @SarahEhrlich96
One art class at Front Range Community College is Kaylee Cordell’s only formal training, but that does not stop her from pursuing her passion. With inspirations like Wassily Kandinsky and Salvador Dali, Cordell is one the many people in Fort Collins that makes art a lifestyle. Cordell specializes in acrylic painting and incorporating mixed media into her artwork. “I paint in two different styles: the bubbly and colorful side and then the logical and black and white side of me, which people seem to love,” Cordell said. Cordell said she uses her environment to inspire her art. “A lot of my stuff is based on places where I lived,” Cordell said. “I grew up in Hawaii, so a lot of it has to do with nature, the ocean or animals, (which are) things you learn to respect. Moving to Colorado obviously is very different so I have transitioned into painting more mainland animals.” Cordell’s art includes realistic animal paintings, and her favorite piece is one of a whale see Local artist on page 16 >>

CONCERTS
John Seesholtz yields standing ovation at Virtuoso Concert Series By Emma Turner @EmmaTurner1228
John Seesholtz yielded a standing ovation from his performance in the Virtuoso Concert Series at the University Center for the Arts on Tuesday night. Seesholtz sang a variety of pieces from the Romantic era, 20th and 21st centuries in German, English and Italian. Chris Reed, a pianist with whom Seesholtz has been performing for over 10 years, accompanied him. “He is a truly talented pianist,” Seezholtz said about Reed. “I wanted to take advantage of his virtuosic skill, so, I selected music that would truly show off his talents while highlighting my love of the Romantic period and American song.” Reed’s skill was demonstrated through the extreme complexity of his playing. Hugo Wolf’s three movements, Harfenspeiler III, Ganymed and Der Feuerreiter, exhibited the relationship the two performers have built. Nina Forsyth, a fifth-year arts and music major and stu-
dent of Seesholtz, also noticed the complexity and conversation that occurred within this piece. Rather than having a simple piano accompaniment, both performers were somewhat featured. “Wolf writes more as a voice soloist and a piano soloist,” Forsyth said. “Each part is equally important.” While this set brought intensity and urgency with powerful sustained notes and telling rhythms, it was resolved by the final set of the first half, which carried with it a feeling of solemnness through smoother notes and breaks. “The first half of the recital is rather heavy in text and has a dark and intense theme,” Seesholtz said. “I tried to counter balance this with a much lighter second half that modern American audiences could enjoy and relate to.” The second half did indeed begin with a lighter movement. The piece by Stefano Donaudy, an Italian composer, provided the performance with humor and even an air of flirtation. The concert concluded
with several African-American spirituals. A guest speaker, Anthony P. McGlaun, walked the audience through the history of this genre and described each song. McGlaun explained that as African slaves were brought to America and Christianity was incorporated into their culture, many slaves identified with the Israelites of the Old Testament. “With the oppression, misunderstanding and the mistreatment of Jesus, it was these stories that resonated with the slaves that gave them hope, peace, joy, and also a sense of community and belonging,” McGlaun said. “These songs also served as a way to communicate amongst each other in code.” Some songs gave instruction for slaves attempting to escape and find freedom. The spirituals that were presented by Seesholtz and Reed were hauntingly powerful. The history and purposes were easily identifiable within each piece, and the final piece, “Ride on King Jesus,” brought the audience to its feet.
The variety of work performed reflected the immense talent on the stage. “I love to hear from the professors that are teaching me,” Forsyth said. “It is really cool to hear professional singers,

It’s important to educate humans on how to understand the arts. If we don’t, it makes it impossible for those people to really appreciate it.” Several other vocal
music students showed their appreciation with a standing ovation at the conclusion of the performance. Seesholtz appeared to have enjoyed the evening though performing is not his only passion. “For me, performing is something I enjoy, but my heart truly belongs to the music,” Seesholtz said. “I can have a beautiful experience with or without an audience. I think one of the biggest challenges to performing is to not put on a show but to remain authentic and raw. I think as humans we respond to that authenticity regardless of genre. It’s difficult to stand up in front of hundreds of people and bare your soul, but if you don’t do it, your audience might miss out on the very thing that drew you to the music and poetry in the first place. This is something I try to instill in my students and truly sets them apart as performers.” Emma Turner can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

According to Cordell, her art has evolved as she has matured as a person. She has always valued creativity, but she said her artistic career really took off when she was a 17-year-old homesick freshmen at Northern Arizona University. “I felt really far away from my family, and I just thought that painting home would make me feel better,” Cordell said. “It slowly turned into a huge habit to paint almost ev-
eryday until it became what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.” Although Cordell tries to paint everyday, she said it can be difficult at times because she has to be in a very specific and stress free mindset. “I also have to have the time to do it, and I have to have something that inspires me to paint something,” Cordell said. “The last painting I did was one of a night sky, and it came from a camping trip I had just gone on. It is really just what I see and what I think is beautiful.” This year has been the most successful year for Cordell, which she attributes to her

Art Lab Fort Collins to host fundraiser for renovations By Ashley Potts @11smashley
Art Lab Fort Collins is hosting a fundraiser to raise money for a renovations. The fundraiser will take place on August 22 from 4 p.m. to midnight. “Art Lab Fort Collins is a cooperative art, music and performance initiative made for and by the artists and creatives in Fort Collins,” according to their website. Art Lab is a communityfocused space that supports the creative energy of Fort Collins, and has been doing so for about eight years. Their space serves as an art space, a music venue and a gathering place. According to their website, “the space is regularly used and heavily loved,” which is why the space is in need of some updates. “The Art Lab is much in need of a bathroom remodel, new flooring and some electrical work,” according to the Art Lab Facebook page. Art Lab wants to ensure local artists and performers have a place to showcase their best work. The event will host an art supply sale with 100 percent of the proceeds going toward the remodel project. The sale will take place from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Art Lab’s Old Town location, at 239 Linden Street. The event will also include acoustic sets from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., a fashion show from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. and live music from 10 p.m. to midnight. Along with the art sale, proceeds will come from a suggested donation fee of $10 to cover the live music and fashion show part of the evening, as well as directly funding the remodel.

Rec center to offer new fitness classes By Emma Turner @EmmaTurner1228
Campus Recreation is offering several new fitness classes this fall. Strength 101, Functional Flow Yoga, Meditation & Flow Yoga, Yoga for Athletes, Mindful Yoga, Yin and Yang Yoga, Cinema Cycle and Cardio Power are all new courses available through Campus Recreation. Carly McGowan, a thirdyear Colorado State University student, teaches Yin and Yang Yoga Monday and Wednesday mornings from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. and Slow Flow Meditation on Tuesdays from 8:15 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. “Being a college student is crazy,” said McGowan after her first Monday morning Yin and Yang Yoga class. “It’s stressful and we have a lot going on. Yoga is a really good way to force yourself to slow down and take some time for yourself.” This particular class focuses first on breathing. Next, the
class works on Yang, or on energizing the body while working and strengthening muscles. Finally, Yin allows students to travel through poses that rely on the floor for support in order to tap into the restorative parts of the exercise. Still, other classes will offer a different experience. Students can try them out for free until Aug. 31. Passes are normally $69 for unlimited mind and body classes, $35 for unlimited cycle passes and $85 for unlimited combination passes. Students can save $10 if they purchase their pass before Aug. 30. All classes are on a drop-in basis but require a pass after Aug. 31, according to Dianne Bornhoft, the fitness director for Campus Recreation. Bornhoft has worked in fitness for 17 years and in that time accumulated over 40 fitness certifications. In 2011, she began working at CSU and was hired to her current position five years ago. “The goal of fitness class-
es is the same as the mission of Campus Recreation, which was built on our values of integrity, community and development,” Bornhoft said. “Students should remember that fitness classes and personal training sessions are suitable for all fitness levels and do not

MOVIES & TV
‘Logan Lucky’ is a full of clichés, but entertaining By Mir-Yashar Seyedbagheri @dudesosad
How can I describe Soderbergh’s action-comedy? A bad country song meets the “Book of Job,” mixed with a touch of “Ocean’s Eleven” for good measure. The movie relies on clichés, but it’s still compelling and humorous. The setting is Boone County, West Virginia, and our protagonist is Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum), a hardworking construction worker, who has been laid off. On top of that he is divorced, in constant conflict with his ex-wife and struggling to be a loving father for his daughter, including helping her prepare for a beauty pageant. Life does not seem to be kind to our likable, but rough-edged hero. He soon learns that his wife and her new husband are moving to Lynchburg, making it all the more difficult for Jimmy to maintain a relationship with his daughter. A visit to their home further explains Jimmy’s frustration. He lives in a hardscrabble shack, and they live in the kind of McMansion that embodies success and selfgratification, which Jimmy can only envy. Given all of this and his family’s long history of bad luck, it is hard not to empathize with Jimmy’s frustrations. It’s not hard to understand his motivations when he decides to pull off a robbery at a major race track, using his knowledge of their pneumatic system of transporting money. Jimmy draws his brother Clyde, a one-armed bar tender and Iraq veteran (Adam Driver) into the scheme, and this is where the movie truly takes off. Jimmy and Clyde recruit their sister Mellie and Joe Bang (played hilariously by Daniel Craig), a hardened but comical criminal, to help carry out the plan. They also recruit Joe’s two brothers Sam and Fish. No heist is complete without a solid team covering all angles, and Soderbergh’s movie comically shows us the schemes in action. The pacing and timing are impeccable, allowing us to see the players all carrying out their parts with mechanical precision while dealing with mishaps along the way. This is where the movie truly draws us in with high-octane excitement. In one memorable moment, Jimmy’s sister, along with Sam and Fish, place cockroaches in the racetrack’s vault, forcing the vault to be cleaned and allowing them access. In another, a prison riot is staged so that Jimmy’s brother Clyde and Joe Bang can escape and hide under a delivery truck.
The comedy abounds throughout in small but memorable doses.Craig in particular delivers a memorable brand of humor, a sort of hillbilly James Bond who prides himself on his masculinity. At another point, he even proceeds to give his crime partners a lecture on chemistry, using the walls of the racetrack as a chalkboard. While the movie relies on clichés of Red State America, its cast of characters are fundamentally well-intentioned ■ Director: Steven Soderbergh ■ Cast: Channing Tatum, Adam
Driver, Daniel Craig, Seth MacFarlane, Katie Holmes, Hilary Swank ■ Date of Rlease: August 18, 2017 ■ Running Time: 119 minutes ■ Fun Fact: According to IMDB,
Daniel Craig had to dye his hair bleach-blonde to play the role of Joe Bang
at heart. These are people who want a piece of the American dream. They want to make their lives great again and do the right things for themselves and their families. And, we can relate to them well. Joe’s two brothers explain their motivation in the plot nicely: “It’s because of the whole morality thing.” When the world inflicts injustice, the only course is to fight back. And, in their small hardscrabble community, the heist is viewed as a sort of retribution and an act of heroism. One can disagree with the assessment but understand fully why the townspeople can come to that conclusion. Should you see this movie? I highly recommend it. There’s not necessarily anything new here, but the movie is delivered with heart and comic gold that we cannot help but root for the characters. We should know better, but we may well end up going back for the ride again and again. Mir-Yashar Seyedbagheri can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com

CSU students respond: Apple Music or Spotify? By Mareena Winchell @mareenaaaa_
Free trials are essential to any college student, but when it comes to music subscriptions, which provider is worth the cost? Spotify and Apple Music are the top providers in the industry right now, and they both bring something unique to the table. Here is what CSU students had to say on the matter: Quality Alex Aguina said Apple Music offers a better music selection. “Apple Music has exclusive music because of their partner-
ship with Beats,” Aguina said. Olivia Palizzi said Spotify’s playlist feature makes it the better provider. “It is very convenient because you can also share these playlist with anyone and everyone,” Palizzi said. “Spotify also has more platforms that you can listen from like, for example, my PlayStation.” Carlos Hernandez said Apple Music is easier to use than Spotify. “Apple Music is integrative and very user-friendly,” Hernandez said. “Apple is known for having high class items. In my mind, Apple means good quali-
ty, which is why I pay for Apple Music.” Function Bobby Vlier said Spotify does not work well with other devices. “Spotify is a pain because sometimes when you add music on your phone sometimes it will not transfer over to your laptop and vice versa,” Vlier said. “The continuity of Apple Music is what I like about it. You can use your own music or Apple Music on your iPhone.” Cristian Mena said Apple Music is better because it is more efficient. “Songs come out faster with Apple Music,” Mena said. “I have
Apple Music because iTunes is already an app within an iPhone. Why download a separate app when iPhones come with the same thing (that is) just called something different?” ■ Apple Music website
apple.com/music ■ Spotify website spotify.com/
Jessica Pitzer said Spotify provides better options for finding new music. “With Spotify, I feel like I get my money’s worth with the
option to follow your favorite artist,” Pitzer said. “Discover weekly is the best feature about Spotify. It gives me something to look forward to every week. Spotify gives the power back to the people with their options of music, and I enjoy that.” Experience “Spotify has been in the game longer,” said Derek Wayne. “I think if Spotify was not offering its best to their fan-base, it would not have been in the game for so long.” Mareena Winchell can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

Smallpools’ ‘The Science of Letting Go’ is refreshing By Alec Erickson @CTV_Ace
Four years may not seem like a lot of time. In four years, you might finish college, high school or some other form of education. There is one band that has managed to make a name for themselves and are educating everyone on their sound. Smallpools burst onto the scene with their debut EP and ever since have been dominating airwaves and playlist with hit tracks. It has been just a couple of years since we have gotten any new music from the group, and now we finally have their second EP, “The Science of Letting Go.” Smallpools is a small indie-pop group based out of Los Angeles. You can track them back to 2013 with the release of their first self-titled EP. From there the band hit the mainstream, with constant
rotation around the country. It was only a matter of time until they released their debut studio album and in 2015 we saw the release of “Lovetap.” If anything can be said about Smallpools is that they are hardworking. From next to non-stop touring, one can only wonder where they find the time to work on new music. With multiple releases in just a few short years, you can hear just how much work has really gone into “The Science of Letting Go.” “The Science of Letting Go” might be a brief five-track EP that clocks in at 18 minutes in length, but manages to do a lot in a short amount of time. From the get go you can hear how Smallpools took what work best in their previous releases and expanded on that. From beginning to end, this EP is packed with well-produced and enticing pop beats that are
bound to round out any summer playlist. Starting us off is the track “Million Bucks.” Before the first chorus even kicks in you will know if you are going to like it or not. “Million Bucks” is the signature Smallpools track in which it is not the surface-level pop that most people ■ iTunes: $5.99 ■ Amazon: $5.99
are used to. It has some soul. From a solid progression to intoxicating rhythm, it is hard not to like “Million Bucks.” While “Million Bucks” sets the bar high, the rest of the EP has no problem living up to that expectation. “DJs & Porsches” and “Centerfold” give the listener as wide of a variety in
style as one could expect from the band. You have your classic summer anthem with the former and then you get this in-depth dance track with the latter. If anything could be really said about Smallpools it is that they have some style, and that could not be any clearer in tracks like “Passenger Side.” Everything on this EP is outshined instantly though when you listen to “Mother,” which is the perfect track to end the EP on. “Mother” is as real as it is well produced and that is what makes it a must listen to. While music style is where Smallpools shines the best, subject matter is a bit of a mixed bag. Everything in “The Science of Letting Go” is a bit surface level at best, but for a pop record that is about what you would expect. While Smallpools do not have anything new or fresh to say about girls, heartbreak,
hometowns and anything else related to that, the band can make it sound great and enjoyable. There is a unique kind of beauty to the simplicity of the record. It makes everything you are listening to a bit more relatable and enjoyable. You just should not expect them to change the way you think about anything. Should you listen to it? Without a doubt! It may have taken four years, but Smallpools have really found the secret to making a great track with “The Science of Letting Go.” From party anthems to dance tracks and everything in between, Smallpools have you covered with just five tracks. This is an EP that really is worth checking out. Alec Erickson can be reached at entertainment@ collegian.com.

Holy guacamole! Avocado prices on the rise NATIONAL
By James F. Peltz Los Angeles Times
Avocados could soon be fetching a lot more green. A shortfall in production in California, the leading U.S. avocado grower, has kicked up wholesale prices in recent weeks _ which means you may soon be paying more for fresh guacamole and avocado toast. A wholesale box of 60 avocados currently costs about $80, or $1.33 per avocado, said Jim Boyce, owner of Produce Express, a produce supplier in the Sacramento area. “Normally at this time in August we’re typically in the high 40s to high 50s” in terms of a box’s wholesale dollar price, or about 81 cents to 98 cents apiece, Boyce said. “It’s very abnormal this time of year.”
The production shortfall is blamed in good part on severe heat in California growing regions during the summer last year, when the avocados that are currently being harvested were still maturing. That was on top of the long drought that affected the state and, when the heavy rains finally arrived in the winter, it was too late. “We lost fruit that would have sized up to be this year’s crop,” said Jan DeLyser, vice president of marketing for the California Avocado Commission, a trade group for avocado growers. Growers in Mexico, the leading avocado supplier to the U.S. market, “are also suffering in a similar fashion and are sending fewer boxes to the border,” Produce Express said on its website last week.
Some California growers also have been selling their land to reap larger profits than they can earn by farming, which has contributed to the production shortfall, Boyce said. California avocado production this year is forecast to plunge 46 percent to 215 million pounds from 401 million pounds in 2016, according to the California Avocado Commission. The Hass Avocado Board, a promotion group named after the main variety of California avocados, said production in the state in the week that ended Aug. 6 was 3.74 million pounds, only one-third of the 10.7 million pounds produced in the same week last year. Meanwhile, the fruit’s popularity is growing _ especially as avocado-toast-eating millennials demand it at coffee
shops and restaurants across the state. Starbucks Corp., for instance, in March announced that its organic avocado spread would be available at its stores nationwide. Avocados are also being marketed as a healthy food choice, loaded with vitamins and high in the “good” monounsaturated fats that can help lower cholesterol. “When supply is tight and demand is good, prices are going to be impacted,” DeLyser said. “That’s the situation we’re in right now.” The average avocado retail price nationally was $1.25 last week, up from $1.14 a year earlier and 94 cents in May 2016, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. But it’s unclear how much more consumer prices will rise. Although some media

reports have warned of a possible price of $2 per avocado, a Ralphs supermarket in Pasadena on Monday was selling four avocados for $5, or $1.25 each, to shoppers who have the chain’s loyalty cards. Frank Garcia, who owns the La Casa Garcia Mexican restaurant in Anaheim, said he’s paying $60 to $70 for a box of 60 avocados, double the $30 to $35 a box he paid early this summer. “And it’s still going up,” Garcia said. But he said he’s not passing the added cost to his diners because he doesn’t want to test their loyalty. “I haven’t changed the prices” for guacamole, Garcia said. “I have customers that have followed me for 40 years.” Content pulled from Tribune News Service.

Do good with Chance the Rapper approved STATE bags By Shelbie Lynn Bostedt Chicago Tribune
If an organization is supported by Chicago’s hometown hero, you can bet it’s a good one. STATE Bags, a one-for-one bag brand, already has Chance the Rapper on board with its mission. The organization delivers a fully-stocked backpack to a child in need for every bag sold, with this summer’s efforts fo-
cused on the city of Chicago as part of STATE’s #GiveBackPackChicago initiative. Through this program, STATE is working with Chance’s Social Works organization to donate more than 35,000 backpacks to elementary school children in communities across Chicago, with a focus on those in underserved schools to make sure they’re prepared for the new school year. His charity got to work
at the Bud Billiken parade by handing out 30,000 backpacks. STATE is also partnering with the mayor’s office and the Chicago White Sox. “Our background is kids — specifically those in underfunded, often overlooked neighborhoods,” said Scot Tatelman, cofounder of STATE. “Our 2017 Chicago initiative is the beginning of bigger things to come, and we are thrilled to use our brand
as a vehicle to support tens of thousands of kids in communities of need.” The organization was started by Tatelman and his wife, Jacq Tatelman, in Brooklyn, N.Y., after they saw school kids carrying their supplies in trash bags. The campaign is now in Chicago as an effort to counteract the negative imagery surrounding the city. “Despite all of this, kids in these communities are push-
