Miller: ChatGPT's usefulness in college is major-dependent

Miller: ChatGPT’s usefulness in college is major-dependent

Jack Miller, Staff Reporter • April 5, 2023
Chat GPT is a new artificial intelligence chatbot produced in late 2022. Now used by millions of people, this program can provide detailed responses to complex questions about any topic in a matter of seconds.   After its quick rise in usage and notoriety, it’s become a regular resource for students and professors at universities across the nation. Many professors have incorporated Chat GPT into their classes and have been teaching students how to use it, while some people worry that this technology will make it easy for students to cheat on their assignments and tests.

Fort Collins Police Services are back in the media spotlight after a string of seemingly random arrests were reported around Colorado State University’s main campus. That’s right, it appears the local police have their hands full yet again in an issue involving our local student body.  Last week, The Collegian staff received word about peculiar arrests, seemingly random, being reported all around CSU. As the weather continues rising in temperature, it seems crime rates have as well, and the local police force is taking law enforcement duties very seriously.

Peck: March Madness is the best American sports tournament to exist

Aaron Peck, Staff Reporter • March 27, 2023
Every March, student-athletes compete in the NCAA Division I basketball tournaments to determine the best Men's and Women’s college basketball teams in the country.  The first-ever NCAA Division I basketball tournament took place in 1939 and saw the University of Oregon Ducks defeat the Ohio State University Buckeyes to become the first national champion. March Madness is one of those sporting events that feels so ingrained in American culture.

Eckburg: Local FoCo artists are everywhere, know where to look

Bella Eckburg, Opinion Director • March 23, 2023
Fort Collins is home to many mom-and-pop shops for you to peruse, especially in Old Town. If your family comes up to visit, Old Town is the first place you want to show off aside from campus.  The plethora of goodies to be found in these shops come from all over, but it is so special to find something that speaks to you and then learn that it comes from a local artist or craftsperson. 
Seriously: Lying about college in a pandemic is the natural thing to do

Seriously: Lying about college in a pandemic is the natural thing to do

Bella Eckburg, Opinion Director • March 21, 2023
As a senior counting down the weeks to graduation and repeating the dreary steps of my day-to-day schedule, I’ve thought a lot about the stories I’ll tell about my time here. I live as a functional recluse most of the time, but, like you normies, I have the capability to lie.  To be honest, college amid a pandemic was not giving the same energy as the crazy campus life you’ve undoubtedly seen in movies, but that’s why lying is such an important skill to develop. 
Lopez: Colorado should keep pursuing ditching daylight savings

Lopez: Colorado should keep pursuing ditching daylight savings

Dominique Lopez, Staff Reporter • March 21, 2023
When the clocks jumped forward an hour in November, I heard talk that Colorado had voted for daylight savings times to no longer be an issue that plagued the state. Despite the bill being passed for Colorado to have year-round daylight savings, the chances of it being enacted soon lessen as it is more challenging than originally perceived. What would a time changeless state would actually look like? There are only two states in the entire United States that do not have daylight savings times constantly rotating, most of Arizona and all of Hawaii.

Peck: 5 ways to battle your seasonal depression

Aaron Peck, Staff Reporter • March 9, 2023
The months of Jan. through March are notorious for being the season of depression, where spirits are low and the jovial times of summer feel like a distant memory.  After the conclusion of the holiday season, many people experience seasonal depression where they feel dejected, fatigued and hopeless. However, we do not have to subject ourselves to feelings of depression as there are simple measures we can take to help alleviate our mental health issues.

For an organization in charge of delegating funding, it seems some representatives in ASCSU have repeatedly mishandled funds and remained unaccountable.
Seriously: Campus climbers develop allergy, not wearing shirts

Seriously: Campus climbers develop allergy, not wearing shirts

Grant Coursey, Staff Reporter • March 6, 2023
While the recent rise in Avian Flu has captured the media's attention, a no less sinister disease is spreading through the Colorado State University climbing community. It’s called a Shirt 'Allergy,' despite being contagious, and its effects are hard to miss. Upon attempting a climb or, in the worst cases presented, merely stepping foot in a climbing gym, afflicted climbers develop a near-pathological aversion to keeping their shirts on.
Seriously: CSU still standing in 'The Last of Us' makes perfect sense

Seriously: CSU still standing in ‘The Last of Us’ makes perfect sense

Bella Eckburg, Opinion Director • March 1, 2023
Recently an episode of “The Last of Us,” a show based on a popular video game with the same name streaming on HBO, showed the two main characters arriving at the campus of the "University of Eastern Colorado,” the “Home of the Big Horns.”  Many fans of the show speculated that this was a nod to Colorado State University and our beloved CAM the Ram, and the official Colorado State University Instagram and Twitter accounts posted about the possible wink toward our campus.
