Souza: What your sibling order says about you

Emma Souza, Collegian Columnist March 5, 2025
I’m not a devout astrology believer nor am I an astrology disbeliever. Rather than explaining my own actions — and everyone else’s — with the positioning of the stars, I follow an astrology of my own: the positioning of your birth order.

LTTE: CSU quietly removed almost all references to gender pronouns from their websites; I won’t be missing them

Devy Ballard, Guest Author March 3, 2025
Picture this: You're a new freshman at Colorado State University. Across many tours and events, you find yourself in several rooms of students where people of authority tell you all about student life and the various resources available to you. When time comes to get to know each other, a leader asks you to share "your name, pronouns if you're comfortable and where you come from." That line, "pronouns if you're comfortable", has been heard by us students many times over.

This practice has gained traction in recent years and garnered many opinions across the political spectrum.
