Summit puts spotlight on Sioux Falls
The highlight of the Summit League basketball season is coming to Sioux Falls on March 7, and I couldn’t be more excited. The tournament will be in Sioux Falls for the first time after being in Tulsa for the last four years. This will be the second time that Sioux Falls has hosted a Division-I postseason tournament, the other coming in 2006 when the city hosted the baseball Independent Tournament.

Som’s dishes up sweet and sour sustenance
On the west side of town across the street from Pioneer Park, sits a small, unassuming building. But the dishes created inside Som’s Diner are large and in charge. Freshly made and packed full of flavor, Som’s entrées have become a hit among those that frequent the restaurant.
FACEOFF: Is football better than futbol? NO!
It’s called the beautiful game, and once every four years, the entire world stops for it. Whether you call it soccer or futbol, no other sport invokes such world-wide passion. To quote Bill Shankly, an English soccer manager, “Some people believe futbol is a matter of life and death.

We gave the world spam, Target and scotch tape. It’s the home of the world famous Mayo Clinic, the Guthrie Theatre and of course, the Mall of America.
Life-long second-hand smoker not upset by ban on public consumption

Google offers free e-mail for universities
In the fall of 2005, SDSU implemented a university-based e-mail system for students through MSN. These accounts provided faculty a way to quickly and easily get in touch with students. They also gave students a way to register for Facebook, which at the time required proof of enrollment with an institution of higher education.
Timing, forethought and an issue are required for effective protesting
Last Wednesday marked the start of what may very well be my last year at SDSU. With this knowledge in mind, I have been steadily compiling memories, reveling in what it means to be a Jackrabbit.
