EDITORIAL: Watch for signs of depression in friends, family

December 6, 2011February 9, 2014 Editorial Board0

The recent, tragic loss of USD student Jeff Haeder has drawn attention to the health and well-being of students. With this tragedy, final projects due and finals coming up, it is easy for students to feel overwhelmed. It is worth the time to take a break from work and studies to spend time with friends […]

THE RANT: Dear students, faculty and staff

December 6, 2011February 9, 2014 Josie Clarey0

In light of the recent death of USD student Jeff Haeder, the miniscule things I could complain about appear very trivial […]

COLUMN: Sports moments that define us

December 6, 2011February 9, 2014 Rob Nielsen0

I’ve written at great length about what is wrong with sports this semester. Corruption, arrogance and cover-ups are definitely items worthy of attention. But even with all these items, there’s still undoubtedly an upside to organized sports that cannot be measured. HBO and Sports Illustrated are going to attempt to do just that with the […]

COLUMN: Media can play with fears and emotions

December 6, 2011February 9, 2014 Alex Dayan0
