Stick with choices you make
In these times, nothing is permanent. I’m going to say it again for dramatic purposes: Nothing is permanent. Nobody is forced to stick with any decision they make. You can have a tattoo removed. You are encouraged to repent for your sins. Abortion cures pregnancy.
Guy show promises big laughs
This season of the Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, or MXC, promises to be the most absurd, over-the-top, jaw-dropping, laughter-inducing season to date. For those of you who have never taken the time to watch this late-night Spike TV original, think “Jackass” meets “Mystery Science Theater 3000.
You don’t have to be a two-party zombie to take an honest stand
George Washington once warned the nation of the inherent dangers involved with becoming a two-party political system. Here we are, 200 years later, stewing in the mess we’ve created. The masses are compelled to blindly label themselves as a Democrat or a Republican.
Hate speech, lack of logic fail to change minds on campus
I would never try to hinder somebody’s rights to free speech. But, I will say that I prefer intelligent free speech over talking just to be heard. Many people bore witness to the anti-homosexuality display outside of the student union last week.

By now, some of you may have heard about the Dawson County shootings in Montreal, Canada. I would like to start by stating that nothing I am about to say is meant to take away from the pain and suffering currently being felt in that community. My heart goes out to the mourners and the injured.
Old-school traditions remain strong
I always thought that I was born later than I should have been. As I look back to my childhood, I think of the music I listened to, the television programs I watched and the games I played. At 22, I have a newfound perspective on life, and have come to the conclusion that I was indeed born in the wrong decade.
Some questions not always answered
When I walked into Rotunda A last Tuesday evening with the intention of listening to a lecture by Lt. Col. Robert Fausti, I turned into an unintended participant in a debate that, if left unsupervised, would surely have turned into a massacre in its own right.
City Council agrees: Brookings needs more retailers
The Brookings City Council gathered on March 14 to discuss future options to expand the Brookings community. A recent purchase of 26 acres east of Interstate 29, totaling roughly $4 million, has been made for the development of the retail industry. Some council members agree that Brookings is lacking in retail and that expanding the choices available for shopping is a necessity to the city.
