BLOG: A professional procrastinator’s realization
I have a confession to make; I don’t know how to deal with change. I like to make it seem like I know what I’m doing and that I can go with the flow, but to be honest, it’s really hard for me to wrap my mind around change, no matter how big or small […]
OVERHEARDS
Here you’ll find the weirdest, funniest and stupidest things we’ve heard during the week. Context is for suckers. “Gosh, I’m sniffing so much today you’d think I was doing cocaine this morning.” — Akeley Lawrence “Best way to protect yourself from being raped? All you have to do is vomit, pee and poop.” — Al […]
IN THE KNOW AND IN THE DARK
IN THE KNOW: SGA voting ends today. If you haven’t voted by the time you read this, you should. IN THE DARK: People who could easily vote in the SGA election but don’t because they are too lazy. IN THE KNOW: Spring break starts on Friday, even earlier for some. What a great week to […]
THE RANT: Snow Removal
Dear Vermillion, First, I know the snowy weather presents problems for all travelers in the city, and snow removal is never a simple process. I would like to start by saying Vermillion has done a fine job clearing snow from the city streets in a quick and decent fashion so far this winter. I applaud […]

Playing the blame game of the ‘friend zone’ spot
If you have access to almost any social network site, you’ve more than likely heard of what is called, “the friend-zone.” In case you haven’t, it is a term used to describe a guy who tries to move from friend to a boyfriend. In the end, the girl only likes him like a “brother” leaving […]
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: SGA president says goodbye
A farewell note: For the past year, I have had the privilege of serving the Coyote family as the voice of the student body. Throughout this experience, I’ve learned a great deal. I’ve learned how to be patient and understanding while considering the needs of others; I’ve learned the art of delegation and the importance […]
MUC Construction: Worth it?
The incessant beeping of various equipment, the surplus of discarded gravel and rocks, the mud and the unsightly view of black tarp and wire fences surrounding the area can only mean one thing; the Muenster University Center expansion is finally underway at the University of South Dakota. The construction surrounding this addition to the MUC […]
EDITORIAL: Students lack healthy food options
