In the Know & in the Dark: September 12
IN THE KNOW: The new football field. Its nice not playing on carpet that was created in the 1980s. IN THE DARK: The communication between the university and students during the e-mail switch this summer. Warnings please. IN THE KNOW: Weather. It’s great having a mixture of summer and fall days. It sure makes the […]
THE RANT: Dear everyone who missed USD,
Dear everyone who missed USD, This summer was an excellent opportunity for some students to work and earn some money. For others, it was probably a very long and relaxing summer. In any case, I am sure you have all been waiting to start another exciting year at the University of South Dakota. During the […]

COLUMN: Chick-fil-A brought criticism on self
I don’t believe I’ve seen a fast food chain make the headlines as much in a short span of time as Chick-fil-A has this past summer. And with an upcoming campus forum to discuss student feelings about the addition of the franchise on campus, it’s clear the controversy is still present. The controversy arose when […]
COLUMN: Students should broaden world view
It is a new year, and for some it may be a first year. I learned a valuable piece of wisdom this summer while studying in Taiwan — a lesson that students new and old can benefit from. Being from the Midwest, many of us have very little exposure to different cultures. So most of […]
COLUMN: Construction progress is too slow
Nothing says “welcome” like a large silver fence. But that’s what our incoming freshmen and returning students ran into as they began navigating the University of South Dakota campus. It wasn’t as big of a surprise for me; I was here in Vermillion all summer. But the day that I had to go to practice […]

As the University of South Dakota football team prepares for this season’s home opener Saturday, Head Coach Joe Glenn urged Ribs, Rods, and Rock ‘n Roll goers to fill the DakotaDome in support of the Coyotes. Glenn, Seniors Will Powell and Tom Marlette and the cheer and dance squads greeted the building crowd Friday evening […]
Coyotes stumble in sluggish season opener versus Montana
The University of South Dakota football team had a tough task under first-year coach Joe Glenn, opening their season on the road versus the University of Montana. A strong start to the second half made things interesting but the Coyotes couldn’t get the win, as they lost 35-24. The Coyotes offense got off to a […]
