The end really must be near for Grey’s Anatomy
It’s one of the most popular shows on Netflix. Maybe one of the most popular shows of all time. For 14, going on 15, years Meredith Grey and the rest of the doctors at Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital have enchanted viewers. From love triangles, to shocking deaths, to obscure medical cases there is no shortage of […]
Editorial: Why we should care about Coyote football
Coming off of a 27-24 thriller against Kansas State, the USD Coyote football team shows promise going into the season. Though USD doesn’t have a 50,000-seat stadium to fill with fans as Kansas State did Saturday night, we should be able to fill the DakotaDome on game days. The excitement of the game is what […]
Gay and underrepresented
Being gay is very “in” right now. No, really. It is. According to a 2016 report from GLAAD on LGBTQ+ representation in media, of the 895 series regular characters expected to appear on broadcast scripted primetime programming in the coming year, 43 of those characters (4.8 percent) were identified as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and […]
Tapingo: Convenience vs. fairness
It comes out of nowhere. Three beeps, one right after the other. Loud. Shocking. It’s like an air-raid. It’s Tapingo.

With the app, […]
A call to laziness: My rationale for not working out
I don’t believe in working out. Something about the practice just doesn’t make sense to me. Why go to the gym when I could eat nine Pop-Tarts? Why go for a bike ride when I could watch the entirety of Friends for the tenth time? I understand why some people want to go to the […]
Beyoncé should’ve won, plain and simple
There’s very few people out there who can deny the power of Beyoncé. When it comes to relevance, the woman has been on the top of the game since her emergence onto the music scene in 1997. Whether someone’s dancing it out to “Survivor” from back in her Destiny’s Child days or they’re jamming harder […]
Social customs, priorities change
I’m 20 and single. When my parents were 20, they were engaged to be married in a few short months. It seems crazy to think that at one moment in time holy matrimony was something that would rank high on the list of a 20-year-old’s list of concerns, but it was. Most people I know […]
Netflix and calm down
Stress is all around us. A 2015 study at Penn State says there are more than 100,000 college students at 140 colleges and universities seeking mental health treatment. Whether we’re stressing about our academics, work, friends or relationships, it seems like every corner we turn leads us to a new stressor. So, what do we […]

It’s an upgrade that has been a long time coming.

Updated testing clickers to be utilized at USD
It’s nothing more than a little remote — but that one little remote is getting a big upgrade. TurningPoint Technologies, the vendor that provides USD with its testing clickers, has progressed from their old audience response software to a newer model that exists within “the Cloud.” Cheryl Tiahrt, the assistant vice president of technology, said in […]
