Blaze hospitalizes one SDSU student
A Thursday morning fire left one SDSU student in intensive care and five others without a home. As a blaze destroyed the duplex of 215 and 217 6th Ave., junior David Mousel was severely burned. “One gentleman exited down the stairs out the front, and he’s the one that received burns,” Fire Chief Darrell Hartmann said.
Traveling the globe…without leaving home
With the aromas and flavors of different cuisine, the colorful Native American traditional dances of Jackie Bird, and the sounds of bagpipes and reggae music, the Festival of Cultures last Friday was a treat for the senses. “There’s just something about it,” said junior Joy Mohamed, a mass communications and political science major, who ran the Nigeria food booth.

Hello, Dolly showcases young talent
An energetic cast of both young and seasoned actors will bring Hello, Dolly! to life in Doner Auditorium Dec. 11-14.

Milk goes pop
Do you know what M.O.O.M. is? Most students on campus have similar reactions when hearing this question. “M.O.O.M?” repeats senior Spanish major Teri Windschitl, her eyebrows raising at the term. “That sounds so funny!” And what if you knew that it was a carbonated soft drink containing calcium, made right here in SDSU’s Dairy Bar? “I would try it,” Windschitl decides without hesitation.
Report shows union growth needed
University officials and student leaders will submit their second report on a student union expansion in mid-November, then present it to the South Dakota Board of Regents in December. The second report includes comparisons with student unions at the five other state institutions and at four other regional institutions of similar sized campus, said Kathy Lusk, director of University Student Union activities.
Somebody’s (not) watching…
The rumors that the higher-ups on campus are watching what you download or reading your e-mail as you surf online are nothing more than just that?rumors. What is monitored, however, is bandwidth. “If you get someone who is dumping down a lot of tunes, they take up bandwidth space, and that’s a real issue,” said Allan Jones, director of Information Technology Services.
Blue lights help despite pranks
Every time a button is pressed on the emergency blue light boxes set up at 11 locations around campus, the UPD will come running. “We’re coming as fast as we can,” said UPD Chief Tim Heaton. “As far as we’re concerned, we’re in a bad situation. We’ve had someone having a heart attack once.
Ag-Bio event provides network

Businesses doing well
Just before classes started, local eateries and shops predicted an increase in business. They were right. The end of September means that SDSU students have been in Brookings for about a month now. And 9,000 more people obviously translates to more business.
