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 […]
IN THE KNOW: D-Days safety. The Vermillion Police Department deserves credit for keeping everyone safe. IN THE DARK: No more excuses of saying, “It’s Just D-Days” week. 362 days until D-Days 2013. But who is counting? IN THE KNOW: Native American day. It’s a holiday that us students took for granted, but should understand why […]
Though he considers his current occupational situation to be stable, Adam Nelson is quite aware of the stigma attached to his profession. “I went to several fundraisers at USD when I was a member of the symphonic band and we would have to schmooze with business graduates,” Nelson said. “It would be typical to say, […]

I just sneezed so hard […]
Forty-four presidents ago, we were a nation built by those who imagined greatness and the glory yet to be achieved. The hardworking individuals that built our nation up from its foundation are not to be forgotten, just as we, in our common era, do not want to be forgotten. As we march forward through time, […]
All I wanted to do the weekend of Sept. 29 was get my finger x-rayed. Injuries happen, a fact I learned all too well this past Saturday morning when I broke my finger. Granted a simple finger injury usually doesn’t warrant much treatment, but a break is a break and needs medical attention. Unfortunately, if […]
For most students attending the University of South Dakota, this past Monday, Oct. 8, was a much-needed day off following the 2012 Dakota Days weekend. However, the annual celebration may have overshadowed the real reason why university students around South Dakota were granted a three-day weekend.

The University of South Dakota has become one of the institutional gems of the Midwest and a leading educational experience academically and athletically for students from all over the country.
