Survival of the fittest becomes reality with CrossFit

The fight for the title of the fittest man and fittest woman on earth is afoot, and everybody can be a part of it. CrossFit was designed to test strengths in all areas, generally high intensity and fast paced, to include everything from weightlifting to gymnastics movements to rowing marathons. As quoted from Crossfit.com, “We […]

Dirty campus bathrooms prompt daily cleaning

For the place that is all about doing your business, the only business that people want to see is cleanliness. Public restroom preference on Dixie State University’s campus is ruled by a clean floor and fancy new features. Restrooms at DSU range from old to new, which can be a reason students and faculty prefer […]

DSU student publishes book after 7 years in making

To lose oneself in another world of adventure is as easy as reading a book, or, in the case of one Dixie State University student, writing one. Writing a full-length fantasy/adventure novel like Aaron Hall, a sophomore communication major from St. George, did is no easy feat at 22 years old.  “If I didn’t write […]

Pinterest Project: Mug cakes delicious, easy treats

If I have the option to take the easy route and have it be just as effective as a more difficult one, I’ll make it happen.  Mug cakes are a phenomenon I fell in love with about a month ago while perusing Pinterest in search of something sweet. In the past, I’ve tried to make mug […]

DSU’s ‘Hedda Gabler’ dramatic, juicy

Having been interpreted in many forms over the last 120 years all around the world, this version of “Hedda Gabler” was nothing short of the makings of an excellent 18th century “Gossip Girl.”  Director Michael Harding, an associate professor of theater, created a story of what can happen when a woman has too much time […]

Faculty members create music with iPads, Wii remotes

The use of technology is not unusual when paired with music, but when iPads and Nintendo Wii remotes enter the mix, things change. Dixie State University’s music department held the first faculty New Music Concert at the Eccles Concert Hall Friday night. The program included six pieces. Some were composed as far back as the […]

Utah liquor laws raise confusion

Even if it is 5 o’clock somewhere, you are not getting a drink anywhere in Utah before 10 a.m. Not anything besides a Utah beer, anyhow, and I have been told by many a drinker that the 3.2 percent alcohol content (by weight, 4 percent by volume) is basically water, although probably more calories. If […]
