Seriously: Clarkchella? More like clout-chella. Get flexed on.

Michael Stella, Collegian Columnist April 19, 2022
In case you live under a rock and have no idea what is happening on campus, the department of journalism and media communication at Colorado State University threw one of the greatest parties to have graced the Andrew G. Clark Building in its tenured history: Clarkchella.  CSU is so old that "Colorado State University" is our third name. Back when we were founded in 1870, we were Colorado Agricultural College. This campus has seen every type of party in its 150-plus years of operation, but all pale in comparison to Clarkchella.

Gross: Working hard doesn’t have to mean burning out

Dillon Gross, Collegian Columnist April 18, 2022
It’s almost the end of the semester for Colorado State University students. Plans for summer are underway, and the trees are starting to get green again, which also means finals are looming eerily in the distance. This point in the semester is rough for many students. Each Friday comes with a defeated sigh and a determined attitude that next week will be better.

Lopez: CSU supports self-discovery

Dominique Lopez, Collegian Columnist April 6, 2022
College is a time for growing, a time for developing, a time when students of all races, genders and ethnicities can come together in one location with the same goal in mind: to discover themselves without the constraints of parental control. Here at Colorado State University, that journey of self-discovery is one freshmen know all too well. Thanks to the preexisting knowledge that this journey is something that will happen for new students, the Office of Inclusive Excellence is one of those places where these students can turn in times of need.

Eckburg: What’s the deal with ASCSU?

Bella Eckburg, Opinion Director April 4, 2022
Associated Students of Colorado State University election voting opened April 4 and now, like most years prior, we have to wait to see how many CSU students will actually submit their votes.  Unfortunately, this year has been fraught with confusion about election dates and uncertainty about candidates. Robert Long and Elijah Sandoval are the only presidential and vice presidential candidates on the ballot, a stark contrast to the multiple pairs who ran last year.

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.
