A weird thing happened during the University of South Dakota’s Dakota Days game Oct. 6. The crowd was full of energy, the defense was playing to their potential and the team was up 10-3 at halftime. Everything was working as planned for Joe Glenn. The Coyotes looked good, but it was easy to see Western […]
For most University of South Dakota students involved in intramurals, the long-standing campus tradition acts as a means to blow off steam after classes while having a good time. However, for senior Drake Bachmeier and the other 25 members of intramural referee staff, it’s a whole new ball game. “It’s essentially a job,” Bachmeier said. […]
It all began as an inside joke. I was young, arrogant and up to no good. I was trying to convince someone to draw me. I never meant for it to turn out this way. I laughed the entire walk over. I didn’t realize how nervous I was until I climbed up onto the stand […]
When the new “Resident Evil” movie came out, there was a lot of hype for those of us familiar with the franchise. With popular characters like Leon Kennedy and Ada Wong, we were expecting a movie filled with violence, CGI monsters and an awesome ending to a great movie series. What we got instead was […]
As a journalist, I think it’s very important to experience life to the fullest in order to write the best, most comprehensive stories.

The introvert is a bizarre creature. When encountered in the wild, it often inspires curiosity among the masses — much like the platypus. These fascinating inhabitants of quiet cafes and library corners inspire many questions. For example: Why is this young woman sitting alone in her dorm room writing a blog in her pajamas during […]
“Free time” is not a phrase University of South Dakota senior Annie Miller is all too familiar with. A declared contemporary media and journalism major with an emphasis in advertising and public relations and a minor in political science, Miller currently juggles much of her time between Alpha Xi Delta and a half-dozen other campus […]
The first debate is complete and Republicans could not have hoped for a better outcome. Governor Romney is considered across-the-board by political pundits to have won the debate, despite the fact that he left himself open to a number of fronts regarding inaccuracy of many of his statements. This was a much needed break for […]
Dear Student Section at USD, First of all, thank you for showing up to the Illinois State football game. My personal bubble was extremely violated by all of you leaning over me in the front row, and I wasn’t even mad. Because you know what? I understand that it’s a football game, and that we […]
