Gross: Drag is an important piece of culture, so let’s normalize it

Dillon Gross, Collegian Columnist • April 3, 2022
While many people are familiar with "drag" as a general term, not as many understand what drag really means and why it’s important for those who participate.  Drag is defined as "a type of entertainment where people dress up and perform, often in highly stylized ways." Typically, performers are known as "drag queens," meaning people, often men, that perform in feminine clothing, but "drag kings"— those who perform drag in masculine clothing — are also included in the scene.

Seriously: CSU film students strap cameras to campus geese with shocking results

Callum Burke, Collegian Columnist • April 3, 2022
In an outrageous attempt to enhance their video-taking capabilities, Colorado State University film students have pushed the boundaries yet again — only this time, it appears they have bitten off more than they can chew. Last week, film students attached a GoPro camera and GPS tile to a small collar and strapped it to a goose in hopes of attaining new point-of-view angles and potentially cool aerial perspectives of campus and Fort Collins. Unfortunately, they discovered events much more sinister than they could have ever imagined.

America is experiencing painfully high gas prices, which has led most Americans to start siphoning gas from local fire department trucks, and we all know how that's working out. So, you ask, what is Colorado State University doing to cash in on this gassy gold mine? Absolutely nothing. If you thought collecting tuition was a lucrative enterprise for CSU, just wait until you hear what a cash cow The Oval could be.

April Fools: Headphones and earbuds banned at CSU starting April 1

Plain Rice, Pirate Columnist • March 30, 2022
As of April 1, all forms of headphones and earbuds will be illegal on the Colorado State University campus. This official mandate is due to a unanimous vote by every individual over the age of 65 who has ever stepped foot on campus. The mandate provides a complete list of all prohibited listening devices. It includes all wired and wireless headphones and earbuds. The archaic but effective design of two metal cans attached by a string is also outlawed.
