If a protestor trespasses in a closed national park, but there’s nobody around to see her, does she make an impact? Some rhetorical questions have no real answers, but this one does. The answer is no. I’m sure I don’t have to remind everyone about how the government shutdown has affected southern Utah. Our tourism revenue […]
With all the talk of government shutdowns, people being denied health care and porn being illegal in St. George (don’t worry—that was just a hoax), it’s sometimes hard to find something positive on which to focus. Thank heaven the St. George Marathon is just days away. Nothing rids my life, and the lives of others, […]
Campus police arrested a man Tuesday who allegedly had been taking items from lockers in Hansen Stadium. Dixie State University officer Eldon Gibb arrested Richard John Fitzgerald, 29, following a weeks-long investigation. Jason Boothe, director of DSU athletics, said he couldn’t comment on what was taken or from whom it was stolen, but he did […]
I didn’t marry for love. I got married because he needed a green card and was willing to fork out some serious cash to stay in the U.S. legally. I also tied the knot because our parents made a deal because our two families would be more powerful if we were united. I also got […]
The university’s first official board of trustees meeting didn’t yield many changes, but one proposed campus additions may lead to student fee increases in the future, and a new entity on campus seeks to aid students, faculty and staff who feel discriminated against. Dixie State University officials proposed a new health and wellness […]

There are wars where it seems there’s just no point, like the holy wars raging on the Gaza strip. Then there are […]
President Barack Obama sought approval from The House of Representatives to take military action against the Syrian government for using chemical weapons on its own people on Tuesday. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., both came together—a rare bipartisan agreement—and supported Obama’s plan. Obama said at a press conference, prior […]
Matthew’s take: Sometimes a sequel is just as good, if not better than, the first installment. And sometimes a sequel makes absolutely no sense if you haven’t seen the first installment. “Insidious: Chapter 2” definitely falls into the latter category. Just to catch you up, here’s a quick and dirty synopsis of “Insidious.” In the […]
It was my first time this weekend. We were both naïve. We’d heard stories of how it’s supposed to go. We both thought we knew what we were doing. We’d seen videos. We’d read articles. When it happened, it was wonderfully magical and horribly awkward. It was exciting but scary, and I’m sure next time […]
