Students should be aware of world issues

Dakota Days not an excuse to drive drunk
Dakota Days, otherwise known as D-Days, has had a long tradition of being the week in which partying and drinking becomes second nature to most USD students. While this can be a fun time for those of age – and I’m sure for others as well – D-Days should not be seen as an excuse […]
