COLUMN: The dos and don’ts of a great experience: A senior’s perspective
Please do: 5. Go to class. Remember you are here to gain an education, (among other things, of course) and you are paying for it. Would you buy a brand-new car and leave it in the garage? Probably not. Be smart. 4. Reap the benefits. The University of South Dakota tries pretty hard to […]
COLUMN: Americans should prioritize education over prisons
What future are we investing in? Perhaps the costly “war on drugs” is a short-term investment that does not garner further safety nor liberty. Americans would be better served investing in long-term plans to educate impoverished youth and rehabilitate addicts. According to a recent article in The Huffington Post, 2.2 million people are behind bars […]
EDITORIAL: Student debt: Is USD worth it?

Some are funny, some are sad and some are just plain disgusting. I believe USD Confessions has its positives but also carries some negatives. The positives can be found in the […]
Track team splitting up for ‘relay circuit’
With the Summit League Outdoor Championships looming ahead, the University of South Dakota men’s and women’s track teams are looking to take advantage of the few meets left to reach peak performance level. The Coyotes will be in Kansas and California to participate in two different meets from April 18-20. They’ll be traveling to the […]
COLUMN: Coyotes will grow with class of ’16
University of South Dakota sports aren’t something a lot of people think about when making the choice to become a Coyote, mostly because of the sometimes non-existent fan base. However, I see positivity surrounding USD athletics. Going into my first year, I knew quite a bit about what to expect from the Coyote sports program, […]
