LTTE: Canvas Stadium needs more water fountains for fans to stay hydrated

Guest Author • September 19, 2024
During the second weekend of September, Colorado State University football had their second home game, all of which I have attended so far this year. While it seems like some things are going well, the lack of drinking fountains on the student side or the east side of the stadium is very apparent. Combine this with the fact that every single water bottle must be dumped on the outside of the gates before you enter the stadium, and I think we all know why there’s an uptick in woozy students who spend four hours in the sun with no water.

LTTE: Enough is enough: CSU’s football coach decisions need work

Guest Author • September 17, 2024
How long are Colorado State University's administration and the athletic department going to keep fooling themselves with the football program? We are now in year three of the Jay Norvell experience and, to be quite frank, year two of him and the program is a national embarrassment.

Guest Author • April 29, 2024
Since November, I’ve been part of a fantastic team of other students, recent graduates and one 52-year-old Emmy award-winning producer and cinematographer gathering material for a feature-length documentary about Colorado State University’s role in our democracy.

LTTE: Bill HB24-1322 opens door for more Colorado Medicaid members

Guest Author • April 15, 2024
A significant number of local individuals and families need your support to get behind HB24-1322, a bill that will allow Medicaid to cover housing and nutrition services. Far too many Coloradans are on the verge of homelessness or cannot get the food they need to stay healthy.

LTTE: Sign Initiative 89 petition to protect abortion rights

Guest Author • February 19, 2024
The new fight to protect abortion rights is underway, and now is the time for students to pitch in. You may have seen the canvassers in the plaza asking “Are you a registered voter in Colorado?” or “Do you want to protect abortion?” and it is worthwhile to take a moment to sign this petition.

LTTE: ASCSU needs to be careful with handling student funds

Guest Author • March 8, 2023
For an organization in charge of delegating funding, it seems some representatives in ASCSU have repeatedly mishandled funds and remained unaccountable.
LTTE: CSU basketball fans shouting 'Russia' need education, respect

LTTE: CSU basketball fans shouting ‘Russia’ need education, respect

Guest Author • February 15, 2023
A chant of “Russia, Russia, Russia” erupted from the student section of Moby arena during a recent Colorado State University men’s basketball game against Utah State University. The chant was directed at Max Shulga, a Utah State player from Kyiv, Ukraine.  It has been suggested that the chant arose from ignorance. That if the students only knew of the atrocities Russia is inflicting on the Ukrainian people during its year-long unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, they would have not used this uncivil chant as a tool to try to win a basketball game.
