Dear Facebookers, I’m once again seeing an influx of “repost this status/picture/video if you’re for/against (insert random cause here)” posts. You know, I’m against cancer/bullying/hunger and any other problems you can think of. But at day’s end, bullies don’t care what your status is. Cancer won’t be cured by a post and pictures aren’t feeding […]
Welcome back everyone. I trust you all had an enjoyable holiday break, and I hope you got to spend time with friends and family. As we enter the spring 2012 semester, my purpose for writing to you is two-fold. First, I would like to encourage student involvement in the legislative session and support for the […]

With a 5-1 record, the Coyotes could have their best start to their season since 2008 if they can pull off a win against Northern Iowa Saturday. Last year, the University of South Dakota women’s basketball team fell to the Panthers 64-73. The Coyotes return to the campus of UNI in Cedar Falls, Iowa, in […]
After less than two weeks of looking for Ed Meierkort’s successor, the Coyotes found who they were looking for. Joe Glenn became the 29th football coach at the University of South Dakota Monday afternoon as students, athletes, media and old friends welcomed him back to his alma mater. The university began the search for a […]
After competing at two away meets Friday, the University of South Dakota swimming and diving teams will return home Saturday to compete against South Dakota State University.

Over the years there have been many stories written and filmed about the adventures of nannies, governesses and the like. In 1847, Charlotte Brönte wrote a book about a governess and it became one of the best-beloved novels in English literature. The novel is “Jane Eyre,” and the story tells of a young girl’s journey […]
Aside from Miss Black and her interpretation of the final weekday, 2011 has been a great year for music. As the year draws to a close, it seems appropriate to put “Friday” in the backseat of that car along with the other hits of the year and take some time to give a rather opinionated […]
