Ladies: The role of tanning in Vermillion
Each year approximately 20 percent of women use tanning beds, according to an Archives of Dermatology study. The study found that Midwestern and Southern women are most likely to tan in tanning beds. At the University of South Dakota, trends haven’t been studied on whether women tan or not, and their viewpoints on tanning tend […]
REVIEW: The Yeah Yeah Yeahs mix it up with “It’s Blitz”
The trio from New York City released their 4th studio album, “Mosquito,” April 16. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs ditch their poppy sound from last album “It’s Blitz” and return to their artsy raw side that made us fall in love with them in the first place. Most of “Mosquito” relies on Nick Zinner’s (guitarist) signature […]
COLUMN: Individual values must change
Being a senior this year, I hear constantly the voice of jobs and money. It is as if nothing else matters except to find a job. Let’s take a step back and see the true face of this hankering. My only desire is for freedom. Naturally, I wish for others to be free and happy. […]
REVIEW: Diplo frees his universe
I was so close to writing a review of James Blake’s new album “Overgrown.” So close that I had a page of notes ready and everything. But then, I found out that Major Lazer had a new album out, “Free The Universe,” somehow titled more ambitiously than Fall Out Boy’s new “Save Rock and Roll.” […]
REVIEW: Yummy or Crummy?
Mexico Viejo seems to be the underclassmen introduction to real Verm-life because it’s the closest off-campus restaurant to North Complex. And unfortunately, the best parts of this restaurant, the margaritas, aren’t attainable to the little ones in No-Co. Walking into the restaurant, it’s just what you’d expect from a small-town Mexican restaurant, with brightly colored decor […]

BLOG: Meeting the thirsty Al Neuharth
It’s that time of year where I would typically blog about end-of-semester stresses and the fact that I’m done being Verve editor. But I’m not going to. Instead, I’m going to write about something I think is more important; the death of Al Neuharth. The man was a legend in the media. He started USA […]
BLOG: HIP-HIP HOORAY
Long time, no write. Sorry I’ve been a hair slow at keeping this blog updated. Nine months ago I decided to embark upon a hair adventure to document the pixie grow-out process — through the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. Over the course of the 2012-13 school year, I blogged about my hair-related […]
