Spring break is a time when college students can relax and forget about their daily worries, right? Not if you are a member of South Dakota State University’s softball team.

Studio theater show Equus a big hit
When “Equus” graced the stage of SDSU’s studio theater for 10 performances in the past two weeks, it was a unique experience for more than one reason. The highly dramatic psychological thriller not only kept audiences on their toes; it also was the final show to be performed in the studio theater.

On-line voting available for up-coming Senate election
As the Senate’s year comes to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every senator, as well as the executive board, for making this past year both successful and rewarding for those involved.
