The City of Fort Collins' Homelessness Advisory Committee has recommended that a new 24/7 homeless shelter be a top priority for the city.
In my previous article, I explained how Denver's problem revolved around the City’s mismanagement of their homeless shelters along with their approach of establishing “safe” outdoor camps without consulting citizens beforehand.
College campuses have long been known as pillars of liberalism, most notably among those who consider themselves conservative. Accusations of bias have been leveraged against academic professors for decades, and that likely won’t come to an end any time soon.
Students walking across the Lory Student Center Plaza Oct. 15 might have noticed several individuals with cardboard signs, a guitar and a megaphone calling attention to the national general strike, also referred to as “Striketober.”
Black humor, commonly known as dark humor, is defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “humor marked by the use of usually morbid, ironic, grotesquely comic episodes.”
However, the rise of social media — especially amid a pandemic — has largely contributed to a rise in the normalization of dark humor. Unfortunately, this has also led to people misusing the term and making disgusting jokes about harmful topics under the guise of dark humor.
There are few transitions in life as daunting as entering your freshman year of college. For many students, freshman year represents a near-overwhelming assertion of independence.
The climate strike that took place on Colorado State University’s campus Oct. 8 brought a variety of different causes together under a collective call for systemic change and radical action.
When it comes to a bachelor’s degree, it traditionally takes four years to graduate. However, the truth of the matter is that college can be a volatile period, and there are a multitude of reasons one's journey may not align with that timeframe.
Ever watched a documentary about a cult and thought to yourself, "There's no way that would work on me?" I have, and after experiencing sorority recruitment at Colorado State University, it's frightening how susceptible to cult tactics I am.
C.A.N.S. Around the Oval is a roughly month-long food and fund drive organized by Colorado State University’s Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement (S.L.I.C.E.) office and the Food Bank for Larimer County.
Now in its 35th year, the drive represents one of CSU’s best homecoming traditions, and it reflects our University’s commitment to transformative community action.
The first-ever CAM the Ram came on the scene at Colorado State University in 1946, a year after the then-Colorado Agricultural and Mechanical College student body’s vote to rename themselves the “Rams.” Then, in 1954, CAM officially earned his name — the one we now know and love.
The tradition of homecoming, as a whole, is an extremely communal one, especially for returning alumni, as emotions will always run high when returning back to a place you once called home. Out of all the celebrations and events that make Homecoming Weekend what it is, few provide the sense of community and catharsis created by the tradition of the homecoming bonfire.
CAM the Ram has been a fan favorite of Colorado State University students since his tenure as mascot began in 1954. There’s nothing we enjoy more than watching our favorite horned ruminant stampede across the stadium before a game, but before CAM stole the hearts of thousands, there was another animal representing our school — a short, slobbery bulldog named Peanuts.
