COLUMN: The American dream lives on after election

America has grown to be the incredible child of what seems like imaginary tales. A nation not just made up of […]
EDITORIAL: Veterans deserve our utmost respect
Once again, students at the University of South Dakota were able to enjoy a free day off on Monday, Nov. 12.

COLUMN: Stay involved after the election is over
As of Nov. 6, the election season came to an end. Finally, we can all relax and watch TV again without being assaulted by political advertisements.
