McMillan: Job applicants deserve more respect from employers

McMillan: Job applicants deserve more respect from employers

Adah McMillan, Copy Chief • February 7, 2024
I assume employers hold themselves to some sort of standard, but it’s certainly nowhere near the standard to which they hold job applicants.
Seriously: CSU Snowriders think they're better than you

Seriously: CSU Snowriders think they’re better than you

Emma Souza, Collegian Columnist • February 6, 2024
To those who don’t know us — or worse, to those who don’t love us: What do you mean, you don’t ski?
Pavelko: It's OK if you've given up on your New Year's resolutions

Pavelko: It’s OK if you’ve given up on your New Year’s resolutions

Hana Pavelko, Collegian Columnist • February 6, 2024
Historians estimate that New Year’s resolutions have been a tradition for thousands of years. What started as promises to the gods worshiped by the ancient Babylonians has transformed into a tradition of self-improvement. 
Proulx: Yes, the Supreme Court is illegitimate

Proulx: Yes, the Supreme Court is illegitimate

Caden Proulx, Print Editor • January 29, 2024
The U.S. Supreme Court is extremely flawed. Most people on the political spectrum can admit that, but in very different ways. For example, the Democratic justices are deemed patron saints who can do no wrong, but the reality is even Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who we champion above all, had her not-so-amazing history with racial justice and tribal sovereignty. The United States is run by an oligarchy.

Parcells: Devaluing some academic fields has sexist, elitist implications

Hannah Parcells, News Editor • January 25, 2024
As college students, we are surrounded by people with different goals, passions and talents. A college campus is one of the few places where you get to interact with people from multiple different fields of study almost constantly. 
Pavelko: Taylor Swift spoiled her fans to her own downfall

Pavelko: Taylor Swift spoiled her fans to her own downfall

Hana Pavelko, Collegian Columnist • January 24, 2024
As a teenage girl, I listened to nothing but Taylor Swift. But even though her music does make up a large amount of some of my playlists, she’s not the only artist I listen to. And I can’t deny that I know the words to every one of her songs. I like her music, and I am not ashamed to admit it. 
Proulx: CO Supreme Court decision on Trump highlights desensitized America

Proulx: CO Supreme Court decision on Trump highlights desensitized America

Caden Proulx, Print Editor • January 18, 2024
The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump will be disqualified from the state's 2024 presidential ballot. It cites the 14th Amendment of the constitution, which states an individual cannot hold office if they “have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the (U.S.) or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

Souza: Designer stuff really isn’t worth all the rage

Emma Souza, Collegian Columnist • January 16, 2024
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I am fully convinced that if Gucci put their logo on a used toothbrush and listed it as Vintage-Bristled Brush with Spit Marbling, someone in the world would buy it in a heartbeat.

Cook: Sports culture is something that’s just better abroad

Damon Cook, Sports Editor • January 16, 2024
Many Americans like to coin the United States as the greatest country on the planet. While that might be true in some aspects, in the context of sports culture and fandom, that’s plainly and simply not the case.
