Why are we comparing Dixie State’s funding to Top NCAA DI school’s when Dixie is a NCAA DII school? When comparing funding to other schools the athletic department and Dixie Sun News is comparing apples and oranges. Yes, BYU and Utah have much larger budgets than DSU; however, they are also much larger schools […]
Article by Stephen B. Armstrong In the late-1970s, after rolling through London and into New York City, punk rock music continued its North American migration all the way to California, where bands like the Germs and the Flesh Eaters banged out aggressively anti-establishment songs with angry guitars, caterwauling voices and crashing drum kits.

For the past week or so, I have woken up realizing that when I walk onto campus, I will be immersed and subject to the effects of election week. For some, that just means seeing fun posters, getting free pens and stickers, etc., but for me, it’s a much more pessimistic and negative thing, and […]

As an academic who has researched the neural underpinnings of memory associations, I was deeply troubled by what I read. Our memory systems are constantly bombarded with sensory stimuli. There is no little man in our […]
I am writing this letter, because I mean, what’s with all the drug-themed articles in last week’s paper? I mean, there’s an article about vaping and an article about marijuana in the same opinion section. The very same section! I almost feel like the Dixie Sun News is saying, “Do drugs.” and I disagree with […]
