Creek of the Week: Clear Creek
Creeks are often wet, containing water and rocks. Sometimes even fish inhabit these flowing bodies of water. But far too often, no one takes the time to sit down and listen to the bubbling brooks and the whispers of the rolling waters, and understandably so. In fact, for the beginning portion of this interview, the answers were muffled in the passing of the crystal clear waves. After hours of patience and the careful placement of an ear, the secrets of Golden’s own Clear Creek were finally exposed. The murky fine grained sediments of confusion had settled to the bottom of understanding.

Cooking Corner: Cup of Noodles
A tasty and wholesome meal for every college student, a cup of noodles is also extremely affordable.

Whether someone is about about to do Physics, MATLAB, or a math worksheet, this meal can be made within three and a half minutes, so the Mines student can get back to work in a timely manner.

Cooking Corner: Monster Tacos
There you go. Look at that. Just look at that and contemplate your existence. Just stare into the oozing pile of grease and cheese and wonder what went wrong. I suppose it’s too late now to ask for that coffee date, isn’t it? You know what will fill the void created by that brief yet ever present whimsical thought of a happiness you have lost forever? You can add bacon to the pizza taco. Get a pound of bacon and fry it up, after adding the pizza taco to the oven at 350 degrees to keep it warm.
Book Review: The Very Hungry Caterpillar
At first glance, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle appears to be simply an amusing tale for children about the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly by means of beautiful, yet simple illustrations. The whole setup makes the process of reading fun for children beginning to read and learning to count. However, this conceals a rather different agenda that requires closer inspection. Behind the thick cardboard pages of the book is a tool to indoctrinate children with the tenants of our consumerist culture.

Art Review: ‘The Egg’ a Timeless Masterpiece
Easter eggs are a long-standing spring tradition, but have never been given their due as true pieces of modern art. All that is about to change, due to one exceptional artist. His years of practice in egg design have led to the ultimate Easter egg experience, one all art enthusiasts should share and appreciate.
Greek: Where we’ve been, and where we’re going
C.S. Lewis once said, “The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a
circle of those who are.” Students have always sought friendship, lifelong memories,
and guidance in their college experience, and students at CSM are no different.
Many seek to fill this requirement by joining Greek organizations. With most fraternities growing well past their centennial year, sororities well-established and thriving, and Mines Greek participation on the rise, it is difficult to imagine this school without the existence of these social organizations.

Minds at Mines: Spring Break
Spring Break is a welcome oasis in a torrent of a semester. Some CSM students head to warmer lands, some head home, and most forget about homework. This week, Minds at Mines asked, “What did you do over Spring Break?”
Grinds My Gears: Easter Bunny
Now, I have no problem with celebrating and recognizing the resurrection of Jesus. It is the pivotal event in Christianity and it should be celebrated as such. I have a problem with the secular Easter.
Updated Campus Drug and Alcohol Policy
With recent changes in Colorado Law, Mines has updated its Alcohol and Other Drugs Education and Prevention Policy. However, due to Mines’ status as a federal contractor, these new laws do not significantly change anything on campus. The Drug Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989 requires universities to have programs that prevent the use of illegal drugs on campus. However, the definition of “illegal drugs” comes from the federal government, not the state. This poses a major dilemma in Colorado.
