The Skewed Review: Secede at your own risk

Giving up is a part of life. We’ve all given up something at one time or another. Some of the things we’ve given up have been worth it.  For example, I no longer smoke and I’m proud to say I’ve been potty trained for a couple of years now. Giving up diapers is so freeing. […]

Natural disasters pose real threat

The end is nigh. Civilization has managed to survive an onslaught of apocalypses in the past two decades. From 1999’s Y2K to the ill-predicted rapture of Oct. 21, 2011, the human race has seen many supposed doomsdays come and go with little more than a heightened awareness. The upcoming Dec. 21 world expiration date is […]

The Skewed Review: Flip-flopping not necessarily bad

Some people may call it “flip-flopping,” but I’d like to think of it more as intelligent people making intelligent decisions after getting additional information. Of course, the word “intelligent” is entirely subjective, but that’s a whole different article in itself. Don’t worry; I’m not about to go on some rant about the election. Lord knows […]

DSCSA President changes view on ‘Dixie’ in university name

The college’s ties to the word “Dixie” may have historical roots that run 100 years deep, but the push to remove the word from the college’s name is garnering some support. Brody Mikesell, a senior integrated studies major from Henefer and Dixie State College Student Association president, said his full support was behind keeping “Dixie” […]

Student Body VP of academics represents DSC in ‘Cheapster’

Grabbing coupons, making days-long road trips and drinking blended omelets could all potentially earn Dixie State College and one of its students a big chunk of cash.  Brandon Price, a senior communication major from Brigham City, sent in an audition video to Zions Bank’s “Cheapster,” a Web series dedicated to educating college students on managing […]

Red Storm women’s soccer aim for win at final game

The women continued to hit as hard as they could against California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University last week, but they didn’t hit hard enough. The Dixie State College women’s soccer team faced off against CBU on the Lancer’s home turf in Riverside, Calif., Thursday, and freshman midfielder Megan Marchbanks was able to net […]

Dixie Sun News does not condone violence

In an attempt to get readers excited about Saturday’s Homecoming football game, Dixie Sun News included the phrase, “The Red Storm get ready to kill SFU” on the front page.  This was below Dixie Sun News’ standards, and we apologize for putting such an offensive phrase in our publication. We strive to bring accurate and […]

The Skewed Review: Religious texts’ validity called into question

I just want to know what makes Moses, Mohammed and Joseph Smith Jr. so special. And I’m not questioning faith all willy-nilly here. I was once upon a time a very active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I still consider myself to be a member in all technical aspects. […]

The Skewed Review: Homecoming, Howl hybrid creates doubt

Just when my school spirit was starting to rise from the grave, The Howl converged with Homecoming. I understand it can’t be helped our Gregorian calendar happened to stick Halloween and Homecoming Week together this year. I also understand that splitting the events might result in two low-attended dances. But what I don’t understand is […]

Students urged to get involved with DSC accreditation evaluation

Dixie State College will take one of the final few steps toward becoming an accredited university this month, and students will play a major role in the process. The Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities will conduct a seventh year site visit on DSC’s campus Oct. 8 – 10 to evaluate if the school is […]
