USD students visit oldest living Pinta tortoise days before its death
Anyone who has seen the movie “Finding Nemo” remembers the easy-going tortoise named Crush who proclaimed he was, “One hundred and fifty, dude, and still young!” While Crush certainly wasn’t the main character, he did shed light on an intriguing fact: Tortoises live for a long time.

Students demostrate faith for Lent
Looking past politically-charged conspiracy theories that say universities indoctrinate students in atheism, Ash Wednesday is one day of the year when it becomes obvious religion still plays a part of the college lifestyle. “Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return,” says the priest or minister as he marks each worshiper’s forehead with […]

Tennis team is rich with experience
While February may seem like an early time to be playing a “spring” sport, the University of South Dakota women’s tennis team won’t wait for warmer weather to start what looks to be a promising season. In a recent Summit League coaches’ preseason poll, the Coyotes were ranked third out of eight teams. Kansas City […]
COLUMN: Hall voters need to re-evaluate
The 2013 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame will be a worthy group of inductees. Bill Parcells, Larry Allen, Curley Culp, Jonathan Ogden, Cris Carter, Warren Sapp and Dave Robinson certainly belong in the HOF. However, it is the names that are still absent from the list that highlights a culture of trivialization […]
Coyotes look to start new winning streak
For the University of South Dakota women’s basketball team, the time to win is now. Unfortunately, the team (11-12) has lost their last two games and dropped below .500.
