The recording industry is dying. It has been for quite some time as the rise in new media technology continues to insert itself into people's lives.

Henry Kissinger famously summed up politics when he said, "90 percent of politicians give the other 10 percent a bad name." This year's politicians have confirmed the truth of this statement with their bald-faced vote-buying schemes to address the weakening housing market.
Athletics fee increase unjustified and unacceptable
By
Athletics does not deserve our money. On Friday, the Collegian reported that CSU Athletics Director Paul Kowalczyk is seeking $670,000 in student fee money for his department for fiscal year 2009 -- an amount that comes down to roughly $15 per student. This announcement came after Athletics stayed suspiciously silent about their plans for funding nearly two months ago when department requests for student fee money were due.

There are many rituals concerning spring. Some trace the roots back to the Greek and Roman days to help liberate those of mate-able age during the season of fertility. There are the Pagan rites of the new season that gave way to the Christians seeking a more worship-oriented passage into spring, which did not quite work out.
Face Off: What do you think of the Athletics fee increase?
By
Editor's note: the views expressed in this Q&A are solely those of the participant and not necessarily reflective of the views of the Associated Students of CSU. ASCSU Vice President Trevor Trout, a senior business major, took a fewa moments to give the Collegian the scoop on why the Athletic Department's fee increase request, while a break in procedure, may have some merit.
Yays and Nays
