Bumper stickers and Summary

   Bumper stickers can tell a lot of a persons heritage and origin of where they come from. As I wondered through my first parking lot at Edwards residences hall, quite a bit of stickers told many stories. Weather they they came from the busy cities of California or the small towns of Kansas and the Dakotas. In the end thought they all had something in common CSU! CSU ram stickers, Colorado State University stickers and our logo were by far the most popular of the bunch that I saw. Another one that I saw was the Colorado native sticker with an out of state twist. It read "I'm not a native but got here as fast as I could". I thought that was hilarious because it reminds people that they came to a great state to experience the college life. The second parking lot I visited was a Walmart which was a short 10 minute drive from campus. Although there were quite a bit of CSU bumper stickers others told different stories. I ended up finding a lot more family stickers. Such as the classic stick figure families or the goofy ones like the the dinosaur eating the family and the zombie stick families. In all where ever the person who owned that car came from their bumper stickers told a small part of their story and how they came to be here at Colorado State University.

Summary: Open letter to Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi
   In the article written by an Assistant professor in the department of English named Nathan Brown. In this article he tackles the main conflict of police brutality on the college campus University of California at Davis. Recently there have been multiple accounts of police brutally beating peaceful student protesters with batons. Many being hospitalized after the attacks. Although it did not stop there after setting up tents and protecting them by linking arms the police resulted to tear gas and pepper spraying students involved in the peaceful protest. In the end Brown clearly calls for the resignation of Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi for being unfit for providing safety to students at University of California at Davis.
