    Education reforms leave Colorado universities high and dry

    by CU Independent January 22, 2008
    by CU Independent January 22, 2008

    In the big scheme of things, ranking 79th in a national survey that includes better-funded and privately funded universities is actually rather surprising.

    What is an emergency? According to Webster’s, emerg’ency, is an unexpected occurrence or situation demanding immediate action. On Oct. 20, 2007, Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue declared a state of emergency in northern Georgia due to very low levels of water resources.

    Crying wolf?

    by CU Independent January 15, 2008
    by CU Independent January 15, 2008

    I am a Google addict. So when I heard about the Lisa Simpson settlement, I sat down at my computer to find out the story’s details since the football rape scandal was before my time. Imagine my surprise at what I discovered. Instead of sympathetic responses or concern for these two women who say they have been raped, I found more than one article condemning these two women for their allegations.

    On the fashion front

    by CU Independent January 14, 2008
    by CU Independent January 14, 2008

    Some may say that with every season of new fashion trends, there’s something for everyone. However, it’s important to remember that certain trends are not for everyone. It is more important to dress for your body type than it is to wear designer clothes. Nothing pains me more than to be walking down the street and seeing a beautifully voluptuous woman that has manipulated her curves into skinny jeans.

    Sports Opinion: Saban burned his bridges with LSU

    by CU Independent December 14, 2007
    by CU Independent December 14, 2007

    It might not be much of a stretch to say that Nick Saban is about as popular as FEMA in the state of Louisiana.

    Saban, for those unfamiliar, is college football’s version of Benedict Arnold. He was named the “Coach of the Future” at Louisiana State University, but he skipped town to take the head-coaching job with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins.

    Uggs and their evolution away from rugged-ness

    by CU Independent December 14, 2007
    by CU Independent December 14, 2007

    Help me.

    I am becoming one of those people whom I’ve hated my whole life. The bullying, snot-nosed brats – you know the type – cast and recast over generations of teenage movies as blond-haired, blue-eyed cheerleaders, jocks’ girlfriends and prom queens.

    Cloudy intentions: Smoking ban paints CU as intolerant

    by CU Independent December 5, 2007
    by CU Independent December 5, 2007

    As I stroll through campus, I study the sea of unfamiliar faces moving past me.

    Each one of these countless students carries a personal set of experiences, outlooks and aspirations. In these beginning years of adulthood, we find ourselves attempting to form a definition of self and in choosing CU, we have established a community in which we join from our individual sense of self-actualization.

    Just friends? Think again

    by CU Independent December 4, 2007
    by CU Independent December 4, 2007

    In high school I was always one of the guys.

    I played video games. I watched football and I out ate my linebacker friends in eating contests. For a girly girl, I was pretty good at being one of the guys.

    Negative result, positive outcome

    by CU Independent December 2, 2007
    by CU Independent December 2, 2007

    After years of being sexually active, my greatest fear that emerged was testing positive on an e.p.t. stick, not testing positive for HIV.
