BLOG: Greek guy breaks down relationships and when girls should just walk away
I believe every person on this campus who isn’t a complete introvert and has at least one female friend has heard the following at least once during each semester: “My boyfriend is such a jerk, like I don’t even know why I date him sometimes.” This sentence will inevitably be followed by the friends expressing […]

From the state of New York, where smoking is eliminated from many public spaces, to the state of Iowa, where smoking is banned in bars and restaurants, it is clear that the […]
BLOG: Midterm procrastination

COLUMN: Respecting women often overlooked
Our years in college can be quite confusing, as many of the boundaries and rules that were set in high school become blurred or just thrown out the window. College represents the start of our lives as young adults, who are no longer under the watchful eyes of teachers, parents and other community members. So […]

Letter to the editor: Division-I challenges

The University of South Dakota is no longer transitioning into this upper division; the move has been completed.
