Seriously: Founding Fathers take over Fort Collins voting day

Seriously: Founding Fathers take over Fort Collins voting day

Emma Souza • November 8, 2023
If you spot flowing white locks and a trenchcoat around town, it’s not your philosophy professor — it’s just James Madison. This past election day, unsuspecting Fort Collins locals reported several packs of wig-wearing, stocking-clad individuals at various voting sites across the city. They were later identified as the Founding Fathers.

Living with a roommate is challenging. Maybe they are messy or always blasting music until the early morning hours, but what if they have a pet?
Seriously: Campus safety in question as squirrels take over

Seriously: Campus safety in question as squirrels take over

Hana Pavelko • November 6, 2023
It is advised that students stay away from campus for the foreseeable future. Safety has been compromised by a serious threat. And anyone who tries to come to campus could be in imminent danger. Please remain indoors until the threat has been dealt with by the local authorities.

LTTE: The mistaken arrogance of ASCSU

Guest Author • October 31, 2023
Every Transfort bus boasts a sticker that reads "Funded by ASCSU." The Associated Students of Colorado State University, our beloved student government, want you to know that they're the generous benefactors providing a range of services to Colorado State students like Campus Recreation, the Lory Student Center and RamEvents.

Pavelko: It’s time for CSU students to start supporting all teams

Hana Pavelko • October 30, 2023
Over the duration of the academic year, we have watched as crowds swarm Canvas Stadium and Moby Arena to watch the football and volleyball teams fight their way to victory. Crowds have gathered to watch the women’s soccer team score a last-minute goal. Colorado State University students show tremendous support to intercollegiate sports teams, but what about the other teams?

Souza: The brighter side of having to set back your clock

Emma Souza • October 30, 2023
Each year, there is a collective groan as most of America begrudgingly sets their clocks back in November — myself and my family included. From thereafter, many who commute to and from school or work will be in pitch-black monotony. Although I don’t agree with the logistics behind daylight saving time, I have to admit I like it better in the dark.

For a lot of people, finding a popular costume that is fashionable can be a struggle. But if you want to know what the crowd has planned for this Halloween, make sure you get your hands on one of these highly sought-after costumes before they’re sold out in stores.

Pavelko: Halloween couples are the new relationship standard

Hana Pavelko • October 23, 2023
Every relationship needs to be built on a strong foundation: one of trust, communication and support. But with the news flooded with stories of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner getting divorced and Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn breaking up, how are we supposed to know what a good relationship looks like?

Lopez: More can be done for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Dominique Lopez • October 19, 2023
October is a busy month for everyone. For students, it means midterms and big projects that must be completed in a few weeks time, and for Colorado State University, it means fall addresses and Homecoming week. But for those of us who have lost loved ones and experienced the tragedy breast cancer can cause, October is a month to remember and reflect.
