Women: Walking alone is scary, but that’s why we have to

Erin Douglas • March 8, 2018
Last week I tried to take my dog for a walk at 5 p.m. on a Monday night. It’s still winter in Colorado, so it was about to get dark, but it wasn’t yet. It's the kind of dark in which the trees lose their color, only appearing as silhouettes — the kind of dark in which only half of the cars passing by have headlights on.

The protest was held by students, parents, and community members to pay respects to the children killed in the Stoneman Douglas High School Shooting in Parkland, Florida on Feb. 14, 2018, and to request better gun safety laws and regulations.

CSU's Board of Governors convened Thursday and Friday at the CSU Pueblo campus to discuss, among other topics, the Hughes Stadium property, the on-campus stadium's projected income statement, political tension surrounding free speech and a possible tuition increase.

Letter from the Editor: Our headlines hurt this fall semester, so let’s talk

Erin Douglas • December 11, 2017
This semester was hard for students of color, for graduate students, for DACA students, for students who lost a loved one and for students affected by sexual assault. Fall’s headlines were hard on all of us, for different reasons. Maybe it was one headline one day. Maybe it was an ongoing story. But, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say we all saw a headline this semester that broke us.
