Lopez: CSU marching band needs to move out of student section
Dominique Lopez, Opinion Editor • October 8, 2024
As a student who has attended her fair share of Colorado State University's football games, I understand that the seats located at the 50-yard line are highly coveted, especially in the student section. But since the moving of CSUs marching band to this highly coveted area, it seems like the environment of the student section has changed.

Souza: Students should enjoy luxury of dining halls while they can
Emma Souza, Collegian Columnist • October 7, 2024
