In the Know & In the Dark 12/7/11

IN THE KNOW: “Avenue Q” was a great choice for the college crowd, and professors seemed to like it, too.

IN THE DARK: USD’s lack of transparency in the decision not to retain Ed Meierkort as head coach of the football team. What was the motivation for replacing him?

IN THE KNOW: The Volante’s new website. Same old address, brand new look and functionality.

IN THE DARK: Vermillion never seems to plow the streets until after cars have driven on the snow enough to create slick, dangerous ice.

IN THE KNOW: The late-night breakfast feed during finals week. Take a break from studying and eat pancakes.

IN THE DARK: Winter weather came with all its fury. It’s cold, snowy and icy outside.

IN THE KNOW: Spending time with friends and family during the holiday season and winter break.

IN THE DARK: Thursday and Friday finals. Not all finals can take place on Monday and Tuesday, but nothing puts a damper on winter break like having to stay until Friday night for one final.

IN THE KNOW: The Red Report, Coyote News’ mock news broadcast. It’s nice to see creative and funny stories made by USD students.

IN THE DARK: People who drive too fast on icy roads. It’s not worth a car accident to get somewhere two minutes faster.
