CSU student’s death possibly alcohol related
The body of a 19-year old female Colorado State University Student was found in the Sigma Pi fraternity house on Sunday Sept. 5, police said.

A member of the fraternity, who had been giving a tour of the house to his mother, discovered Samantha Spady, of Beatrice, Neb.

Spady, a sophomore business major, was discovered with a blood alcohol level of 0.43%, police said.

The former Chi Omega sorority member was found fully clothed with no obvious trauma to her body, according to a coroner’s autopsy report.

The report also stated that no foul play was involved.

Spady had been head varsity cheerleader, homecoming queen, National Honor Society Student and president of her high school class.

Members of the fraternity were asked to spend the night elsewhere so police could finish their investigation.

CU Boulder students rush field after close victory
Mere seconds after the Colorado Buffaloes defeated the Colorado State Rams 27-24 at Folsom Field on Saturday, Sept. 4, CU students stormed the field to celebrate the victory.

Three hundred security guards stood idly by as a mass of students enjoyed the victory with the football players.

Despite an announcement urging the record crowd of 54,954 to stay in their seats, many chose to head straight to the goalposts.

Unfortunately for students, in 1990, CU adopted a policy of removing goalposts immediately after the game.

Saturday night, security had the posts completely dismantled before the crowds were able to get to them.

According to CUPD, eight students were arrested, while 52 were ejected from the game, mostly for disorderly conduct.

In addition to the fans, the familiar sight of marshmallows, paper airplanes, bottles, small flasks, even pieces of hot dog and stranded shoes also made it into the south end zone Saturday night.
