Jacks Control Home Waters
The SDSU women’s swim team hosted a dual meet Jan. 14 in the HPER Pool, claiming solid victories over the University of Northern Iowa and the University of Nebraska-Omaha.

Sabbath Encouraged During College Years
“Everything can be something different.” So said Alfred Adler, colleague of Sigmund Freud and founder of the Adlerian school of psychology. This insight into the paradoxical nature of human behavior rings true in our own lives as well as in the lives of others. Students know it best from hours staring at a blinking cursor [...]
Becoming a Rival: Slow and Steady Transition
There is red, everywhere. That thought that kept running through my mind in my first few weeks at the University of South Dakota. The harsh and uninviting color was everywhere, but I was going to have to adjust. After graduating from South Dakota State University, I decided to go to graduate school at USD. Yes, [...]
Buy a Shovel to Keep you Sidewalks clean and your Pockets Full
Issue: The Brookings City Council passed an ordinance on Jan. 10 requiring homeowners and renters clear their sidewalks within 48 hours of a snowfall and if they do not, they will be fined $60. This isn’t a new ordinance, mostly it’s an upgrade from the previous version that gets rid of the warning process and [...]

Year of the Music
Last year was an interesting year for music. It saw the release of Lady Gaga’s so-called “masterpiece” album “Born This Way” which turned out to be anything but. Nickelback also released their newest album, again making me ask myself what a band like that is doing still making music. Still, there were some highlights in [...]
The Reel Deal
It’s the big screens, the comfortable seats, and the popcorn that draw people into this popular hang out: the Brookings Cinema Five movie theatre. “We have a great atmosphere here. Our seats are comfortable. Our snacks are good and our service is great,” said Manager Cody Nicholas. The theatre houses five movie screens and shows [...]
Advanced Degrees Higher amongst Women For First Time
The decision for who heads off to work and who stays home with the kids may be redefined. For the first time ever, there are more women receiving advanced degrees than men in the United States — a trend also seen at SDSU. Census data shows among adults 25 and older, 10.6 million American women [...]
