Cooke: Board of Governor’s decision contradicts University’s values

Cody Cooke • August 26, 2021
The Hughes Land Back initiative is an alliance of Indigenous locals determined to regain stewardship of the land that used to be Hughes Stadium, currently owned by Colorado State University. On August 6, members of the initiative delivered their requests at a meeting for the Board of Governors of the CSU System. In a statement released by the CSU System, the Board declined to meet the initiative’s requests, describing the proposal as “inconsistent with the Board’s duties.”

Tusinski: Colorado is beautiful. Now stop hiking.

Dylan Tusinski • August 24, 2021
Everyone loves Colorado for a reason. Some love our mixture of small cities and large metropolises, some love our legal cannabis, but most love the immense beauty of the Rocky Mountains.

Eco-anxiety is real, and we are feeling it now more than ever. Every day, our timelines are flooded with news about the ongoing climate crisis. It’s not hard to see that we are dealing with a very real problem — one that needs to be carefully addressed to ensure life as we know it can continue.

JD Meltzner • August 18, 2021
Fort Collins has quite the reputation for being a nature adventurist’s paradise with its surplus of bike paths, hiking trails, fishing spots and parks. But the amenities of Fort Collins go far beyond a great day at Horsetooth Reservoir, extending into a hidden hotbed of cultural entertainment, including some truly unique experiences for movie lovers.

McKissick: Tips for navigating dating post-pandemic

Nathaniel McKissick • August 16, 2021
When COVID-19 entered the United States early last year, no one could foresee the tumultuous year that would follow. The virus disrupted school curriculums, workplace norms and family dynamics, all while leaving a trail of pestilence in its wake.

Guest Author • August 5, 2021
It’s July 11, 3:55 p.m., Sunday afternoon, and I’m lying on my couch. I have a fever, headache and sore throat, and the only thing making the world bearable is my 18th cup of tea and the Union of European Football Associations' European Championship: Italy versus England.

Tusinski: Fort Collins deserves a better flag

Dylan Tusinski • July 26, 2021
Every flag is designed as a symbol. Whether they don stars and stripes, the not-so-aptly-named stars and bars or just a corporate logo on a white banner; every flag represents an idea, organization, nation or religion with which people identify. As a result, every flag, to some extent, is an extension of people themselves. Flags are us.

Tusinski: Live music is back; enjoy it while you can

Dylan Tusinski • July 15, 2021
Seeing live music is a way of life for me. I'm a Deadhead, or a fan of the psychedelic rock band The Grateful Dead.
