We Produce Artists Too
Colleen Stein Collegian Brad Thiele is a bona-fide artist. While most SDSU art majors place a secondary emphasis on teaching or advertising, Thiele’s backup plan after graduating college is, well … being an artist. In a state like South Dakota, many folks who are strongly ingrained with their ancestors’ blue-collar work ethics would call him a fool and a dreamer.
Make Your Ears Bleed
Jesse Christen A&E Editor Most every college student is obsessed with one thing. No, it’s not academics; it’s having a killer pad. Whether it’s a dorm room, apartment or rental home, having a good entertainment system is a must. But when you’re in college and the cash is tight, what do you do? “Use your ear,” says Brian Brodie, a salesman at Karl’s in Sioux Falls.
A few things that may surprise you about love:
Romance novels are read by almost 40 million American women each year. They account for 56% of mass-market paperback sales. Studies show that among young, predominately white college students, men are more likely to believe that true love comes only once, lasts forever, and overcomes obstacles like religious differences.
Ambassador criticizes U.S. position in Iraq
Former Ambassador to Iraq, Edward L. Peck spoke at South Dakota State University on issues concerning Iraq and the Middle East. Peck came to SDSU on behalf of the University Diversity Program and the World Affairs Council of America, a program designed to educate Americans in world affairs.
Bush uses spin to obscure Iraqi intelligence issues
Politicians from local to national levels use spin. Spin is the chocolate frosting on a week-old doughnut. And although it’s obviously stale, the frosting seems to make it look edible. There is a lot of similarity between that week-old doughnut and the Bush Administration’s story on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction; they’re both full of holes.
Screws on the Bed: A Timeline
Submitted for your amusement this week, a timeline from early Monday morning: 1:30 a.m. My husband and I finish our second viewing of the film American Splendor, an inventive, entertaining, 2003 movie that was recently released to DVD and video. A good time was had by all.
Random musings from the unstable
The cold has finally seeped into my bones and I’m cranky about it! It has been so cold lately that I’ve been contemplating a move to warmer climes … such as Alaska! But seriously, it’s gotten too cold. The weatherman says we’ll pull out of it soon, but the weatherman has lied to me so many times before that I don’t know where to begin.
WMDs were not the only reason for the Iraq conflict
The case for war in Iraq was built on many arguments. One of the most compelling was the belief that Saddam Hussein’s evil regime was developing weapons of mass destruction. Now it appears that Saddam’s WMD program may have been suspended long ago – Iraq probably did not have weapons of mass destruction at all.
Young Mr. Steckelberg remains shocked at Super Bowl boobies
Women you should be ashamed of yourselves. I can’t believe that you would let a little thing like biology ruin your bodies. You are disgusting, vile creatures, with no sense of decency. I can’t even believe that you have those things! And when Janet Jackson showed hers off the other night the entire world wanted to wretch.
Money shortages force some students to get jobs
It’s about this time during the semester when students’ extra money seems to run dry and bills start rolling in.
