Henry: Get some respect — keep that American flag at half-staff

Brendan Henry, Collegian Columnist • September 8, 2022
Walking through campus, you may sometimes notice the American flag is positioned at half-staff. It seems to be that way everywhere, all the time. In the past, it was easy to identify why the flag was positioned this way — a time of mourning across America or a state — but it never seems to rise back up into its official position.  Now, call me a pessimist (I already know), but why not just keep the flag at half-staff permanently? Sure, we grieve over the deaths of politicians and important figures, but are we not also grieving over inflation, unaffordable housing, lack of workers' rights, division among our people and daily injustices committed by and against our own people?

Michael Stella, Collegian Columnist • September 8, 2022
Joyce McConnell's tenure as president of Colorado State University was historic from the moment she was hired. McConnell was the first woman hired as president in the university's 152-year-long history. Although McConnell's time at CSU was short — she only served from 2019-22 — she oversaw one of the most tumultuous eras in Colorado history. Within a year of becoming president, McConnell had to lead the university through the COVID-19 pandemic.

What do you think of when you hear about the Associated Students of Colorado State University? For some students at Colorado State University, ASCSU is a place where they can make an impact. Other students hear about the organization in passing, such as during election season, while the remainder of students don’t know what ASCSU is or what they are responsible for.
