The curtain rises at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, with midnight performances on [...]

Big plays down Jacks

Rennie, UNI made the plays in the second half and SDSU failed to respond. Dual threat quarterbacks have been on the rise over the past few years in college football, which can present challenges for any defense. SDSU managed to stop half of UNI quarterback Tirrell Rennie’s game, holding him to just 27 yards on [...]

SDSU rolls on with blowout home victory

The Jacks took care of IPFW on a blustry day behind the play of two sophomores.

Professors and students leave Scobey Hall and the basement of Wagner Hall sometimes feeling sicker than when they entered. SDSU Faculty Senate members hope to improve awareness of this threat and to revamp a policy to improve communication about unsafe work environments. This [...]

SDBOR President brings experience, education to job

Becoming the South Dakota Board of Regents President was not always something on Kathryn Johnson’s mind.  In fact, she says that she was never interested in becoming the president at all. She is simply filling the need because it was her turn to step up. Johnson is well-qualified for the job, though, as a graduate [...]

Spin me right ’round

Vinyl is no longer just that awkward excuse for leather on your creepy uncle’s couch. The record industry is starting to make its comeback and it isn’t just the “underground bands” jumping on this bandwagon. Artists and bands such as Coldplay, Foo Fighters, All Time Low, Wilco, Ryan Adams, Jack’s Mannequin and Pink Floyd have [...]
