Girlfriends ready themselves for Fantasy Football

When it comes to Fantasy Football, most girls are as clueless as a guy would be walking into a dress shop. It helps to know what you are getting into in order to have a guide to all of this football nonsense. The basic idea behind Fantasy Football is to draft players from different teams […]

Anticipated fall TV lineup includes controversial ‘New Normal’

The fall 2012 television lineup gives everyone a decision: Which shows should be added to their television schedule, and which shows are not worth their time altogether. This fall has some exciting and controversial shows that are being brought to the table. But which ones will actually succeed? One of the newest and anticipated shows […]

Fantasy Football fever strikes DSC

The Fantasy Football League is taking over the Dixie State College campus—and men’s minds. Fantasy Football is a game men of all ages like to play. It is a game of luck and strategy in choosing the right players to be on your team.  “Fantasy Football is all about the right players,” said freshman Connor […]

Friendship after romance plausible, not probable

Don’t go near her! She’s got cooties! Cooties was a term used by children to indicate an invisible disease that could be passed from boy to girl or girl to boy. The disease left no side effects, but it seems to be the best insult to use from kindergarten to fifth grade. In college, exes […]

Believing is key to fooling anyone

What you think becomes reality. It’s called “The Secret,” a documentary directed by Drew Hariot and Sean Byrne. The documentary demonstrates the law of attraction and how our thoughts help the universe bring positive or negative energy toward us. This documentary was shown to me by a genius, whom to this day I believe could […]

‘The Possession’ attempts to frighten, succeeds slightly

After 92 minutes in a cold theater I am now weary of two things: antique boxes and abnormally large moths. Based on a true story, “The Possession,” directed by Danish filmmaker, Ole Bornedal, left me with a similar feeling as “The Grudge,” “The Ring,” and basically any other scary movie that has come out in the […]

Locals sell art, crafts, food at Tuacahn Saturday Market

With a variety of goods, from turquoise jewelry to handmade crepes, the Tuacahn Saturday Market is providing local vendors an opportunity to peddle their wares. The Tuacahn Saturday Market began four years ago when Chris Graham, the Saturday Market organizer and Tuacahn Gift Gallery manager, wanted to create a market in St. George that would […]

“Going once…Going twice…SOLD!” Students of Dixie State College bid big money on potential hot dates for Thursday night’s Thurs “D” event, contributing to charity through a date auction in the Gardner Ballroom. Bidders weren’t shy with their spending as many of the final bids reached more than $100. The Service Committee of DSCSA raised $2,390 […]

Eating Oreos doesn’t define personalities

Oreos may be milk’s favorite cookie, but some might argue it’s also a sure-fire personality test. Soaking the cookie into a glass of milk, opening the Oreo and eating just the white stuff, or simply eating the whole thing at once could theoretically define a person’s traits. At least that’s what one popular online quiz leads […]

DC started superhero mania, keeps it going

Comics have been a big part of my life since, I don’t know, forever.  My collection of “Batman,” “Spiderman,” “X-Men,” “Green Lantern” and “Justice League” comics speak for themselves. Everyone’s vocabulary could use a little kick, from the POW!’s to the THUD!’s that come soon after Robin’s butt-kicking skills. People deserve to have this kind […]
