The 28th annual Wacipi brings American Indians from across South Dakota together at SDSU in the Volstroff Ballroom Saturday, March 28 an event where they showcase traditional clothing and dance.

SDSU celebrates 28th annual Wacipi event ELIZABETH STROMQUIST Reporter American Indians across the state gather in the Volstroff Ballroom once a year to celebrate culture and religion with the tribal communities. The 28th annual Wacipi, or pow wow, is an event that is a time of celebration for the American Indian population. The American Indian Center and American Indian Student Association hosted this event with help from many sponsors. American Indian vendors were selling purses, beadwork and Indian tacos.

The event began with an opening prayer followed by honoring those who have served in the armed forces. The honor guard led the flag presentation in the opening ceremony, which was followed by dancers clad in traditional American Indian attire. The dancers wore clothing and accessories that represented their culture, beliefs and values. Briggs Library had a table in the vendor area with pictures of notable American Indians and descriptions of their accomplishments. There was also a table in the vendor area dedicated to information about the

Wokini Initiative, a newly-instated program offered through the university to support American Indian students in their studies and foster an environment where the students can practice their traditions. Grace Brink, a sophomore music entrepreneurship major, stressed the importance of having an event like this on campus. “It’s important to have events like this because it allows us to learn about other cultures and gain an understanding of the culture,” she said. “It also provides more representation for students and its important

for us to remember how this was their land before we came.” When asked what her favorite part of the Wacipi event was, Brink said, “I really liked the different traditional clothing and jewelry they were wearing. I loved how they are all unique in how they.” Ryan Sailors, a student from the College of Arts and Sciences, said that South Dakota has a high population of American Indians. He believes this is why the university should have more events like Wacipi. “It’s important to have cultural events like this because it brings representation to stu-

dents who may not receive it that often,” Sailors said. “The Lakota and Dakota population here in South Dakota needs to have the representation that they deserve.” The university offers many cultural events throughout the school year for students to attend. Until it moves to its new building, the American Indian Student Center is located by the Enrollment Center on the northwest side of campus. The university is currently constructing a new American Indian center and it should be completed in the coming years.

New Performing Arts Center celebrates reopening with ‘Chicago the Musical’ GINA GOBLIRSCH Reporter After nearly 15 years of planning and three years of construction, the new Performing Arts Center (PAC) is celebrating its grand reopening with Broadway’s “Chicago the Musical” and other events featuring famous groups. The $49.5 million expansion tripled the size of the previous Performing Arts Center and will create new opportunities for SDSU’s performing arts. For the first time in history, all theater, music and dance programs will be in the same building. “That’s really exciting to me,” said Director of School of Performing Arts Dave Reynolds. “To see what’s going to happen when you get all these creative people under one roof and give them an incredible facility.” The facility added two performance spaces, making a total of four in the PAC. One of the new additions, a recital hall that seats 225 audience members, has already been played in by the Boston Brass and a nationally renowned pipe organist. The other major addition, the Proscenium Theatre with 850 seats, will allow SDSU to pro-

duce musicals and plays never imagined possible. This type of theaters is unique due to its arched look which serves as the frame to the stage. “Proscenium theaters are all about creating the art of illusion,” said Reynolds, “it also has trap doors and a pit for orchestras.” Not only does this expansion to the PAC benefit the performing arts programs at SDSU, but community members will have the opportunity to collaborate on events and external groups from all around the world will be able to use the facilities, which is exactly how SDSU plans to celebrate the expansion completion. The extravagant string of performances began March 26 with Ladysmith Black Mambazo, a choral group from South Africa. Their accomplishments range from touring with Paul Simon, of Simon and Garfunkel, performed at Nelson Mandela’s inauguration and have won five Grammy Awards. The popular YouTube group, Postmodern Jukebox, is currently touring around the world. The group will be performing at 7:30 p.m. on April 2 at Larson Memorial Concert Hall.

The new Performing Arts Center theater expansion will have its reopening with “Chicago the Musical” Saturday, April 6.

“Postmodern Jukebox is an internet phenomenon like you’ve never seen before,” said Reynolds. Putting a 1920s swing on modern hits such as “Sunflower” by Post Malone and “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga, Postmodern Jukebox is an original group. Witnessing the opening of the Proscenium Theatre with the classic “Chicago, the Musical” will be an opportunity that comes once in a lifetime, said Reynolds..

The cast and crew will be coming in with multiple truckloads full of set, sound and light equipment, props and costumes. Reynolds said the show will be “everything you would see if you flew to New York and saw the show on Broadway.” Though the 7:30 p.m., April 6 performance is already sold out, a 2:30 p.m. matinee showing will be reserved for students at a discounted price of $15. “We want every student that has an interest in attending to not be prohibited by the price,”

said Reynolds. On April 5, the night before the show, the facility is hosting a gala event for donors and senior leadership members to raise money for a scholarship fund for performing art students to attend college. The new expansion of the PAC could create many opportunities for SDSU’s performing arts programs and the Brookings community to reach new heights and grow in appreciation of the arts.

Come and reminisce at The Little “I” Alumni Celebration at the SD Agricultural Heritage Museum. Cake and refreshments will be served. Behind-the-scene tours of the museum will be available.

Breakup or makeup: stay friends with ex or not TAYLER LARSEN Lifestyles Reporter From strangers to friends to lovers, the cycle can seem to form a never-ending pattern. Knowing whether to remain friends with an ex after a breakup can present challenges, and for many South Dakota State students, this is the case. We s t e r n Un ive rs i ty conducted a study in 2015 that found 48 percent of exes remain friends on Facebook, roughly 88 percent regularly check their ex-partner’s page and 31 percent post photos to evoke jealousy. Even though contemplating

remaining friends on social media is a challenge itself, friendship goes way beyond the screen. For freshman exercise science major Ben Goeman, remaining friends all depends on how it ended. “My ex and I ended on good terms since we both go to different colleges, so we are still friends,” he said. A different scenario played out for sophomore advertising major Abbie Stotesbery. She agrees that continuing a friendship with an ex depends on how the relationship ended, but time can be a factor.

Stotesbery said that she and her ex-boyfriend ended on bad terms, however, two years later they have slowly started to become friends after settling things out and becoming “civil.” In the same way, time could also drift a couple apart. Staying friends could initially seem like a great idea, when in all actuality, having only a friendship can be dull. “It has been said that it is O.K to be friends with an ex significant other. My experience was that we said we were going to be friends, but then we just kind of stopped talking to each other entirely,” said freshman

exploratory studies major Austin Marrow. “We would see each other and be friendly, but it was never the same. It wasn’t how it was before the relationship or during,” he said. Remaining friends with an ex can be a solely negative experience. Having an ex lingering in your life can prevent you from moving forward. When new relationships arise, friendly exes will cause tension with new partners. Sophomore pre-pharmacy major, Sidney Lee agrees in the sense that rekindling broken love can have negative results.

“For your mental health it is probably better not to be friends with your ex, especially right after the breakup,” she said. “You’re just trying to get over what you had, and I definitely think it is better to stay away for a while.” Overall, an understanding between both partners is what will make the aftermath of a breakup as healthy as possible. Communicating effectively will result in the right outcome for your past, present and future relationships.

Twice-elected Students’ Association President Allyson Monson poses next to her running mate, and new Vice President Corey Berscheit. The pair ran on a platform that stressed empowerment, advancement and execution at SDSU.

SA president, vice president-elects ready to hit ground running on April 8 ANDREW RASMUSSEN Reporter Allyson Monson made history last week when she became the first female twice elected as Students’ Association President. But this isn’t the only record she’s broken. Last year, Monsonwas the youngest SA president ever elected. Now, with her Vice President, Corey Berscheit, she’s looking to implement new ideas along with advancing current ones. Monson and Berscheit were elected earlier this month to lead the SA in the upcoming year. They are planning to hit the ground running in the fall by preparing over the summer. “In our first 100 days we are organizing more internal structures, we have a lot of ideas

on how we want Students’ Association to run differently, reaching out to student organizations, and how we can live stream the meetings” Monson said. Monson plans to create a program of work within the senate in order to lay out a plan of action for the year to come with specific steps to accomplish goals from their campaign platform of empower, advance and execute. Transportation is her biggest priority going forward. The General Activity Fee (GAF) provided funding for an off -campus bus system that will be implemented next year. Details on the system are still in the works and Monson is working to ensure a successful launch. V i c e Pre s i d e n t- e l e c t Berscheit is excited to take on

the issue of increasing accessibility “beyond standards” on campus. “I see this as a year for opportunity,” Berscheit said. “Seeing how we can make this university different, far past just having ramps and just making sure that everything is accessible.” With the recent vote from Senate to approve the fiveyear GAF strategic plan, SA has the job in the coming year of seeing through the projects set in motion. They are looking at being more effective and efficient in getting information to students by going beyond the minimum in new and creative ways. “We have seen a year of planning and now we will see a year of living and implementation,” Monson said.

Don’t take life for granted, make memories

KELSEY BENDER Columnist A big mistake we all make in life is thinking we have time. Time to do things with those we care about. Time to tell those we love that we care so much. The truth, however, is that you never know when you could run out of time.

I had to realize this in the worst way possible. I lost my lifelong best friend in a car accident on Feb. 26. At 20 years old, someone who had been in my life since I was a baby, was gone. I am heartbroken and overwhelmed with sadness, but most of all, I am filled with regret for not saying certain things I wish I had. I made the mistake, like many others, of thinking I would have forever to make more memories with her by my side. But I no longer have that time. With that being said, I want to challenge you all to use the time we have now and don’t take anything for granted.

I realize being in college can make it easy to justify that you are too busy to call or go home, but life is too short to live that way. I want you all to think about a few questions: when was the last time you called home to your parents, grandparents or friends? Do you put off spending time with those important to you because you are too busy? Have you told those you love recently that you love them? If you don’t like the way you answered those questions I hope you decide to reach out to those you care about and use the time you have today. Don’t let

distance create gaps in your important relationships. Life is fragile. Just because someone is here today doesn’t guarantee they will be tomorrow, so don’t take it for granted. Say what needs to be said and even a little more. Show your love a little extra. Use the opportunity you have now to make memories. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you have time.

Self-care isn’t always Instagrammable, stay positive

REBECCA PEICK Columnist We see #selfcare all the time as we scroll through endless posts and stories on social media. It’s usually touted as an extremely important thing to do as a part of being a wholly well person, but the self-care practices that we usually see are using bath bombs, lighting candles, watching Netflix and putting on face masks. They are accessorized with hashtags like #selfcareisn’tselfish and #selfcaresunday, because many people believe

Volume 134 • Issue 20

that making it trendy will influence others to implement it regularly. Here’s the thing, if a person doesn’t believe that they need to take the time to actually take care of their mental health, they won’t — no matter how cool friends and influencers on Instagram make it look. Self-care must stem from a root belief that we are each worthy of loving ourselves and prioritizing our health. Self-care often isn’t always bath bombs and candles — sometimes, it is putting “take a shower” or “wash the dishes” on your to-do list, because that is what your energy level is today. Sometimes, it’s “go to the gym” or “take a walk” because you can’t remember the last time you moved your body with intention or went outside to enjoy the warmth of spring. Sometimes, it’s “journal” or “medi-

tate” because you have been so busy that you’ve forgotten to take time to breathe or reflect on your day. There are some days, sure, that we just need Netflix and ice cream, but I believe that it’s so important to take a moment to gauge what we actually need in that moment to help us toward our highest potential. The one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work to truly target our needs. Implementing small changes to our daily life and making meaningful selfcare a habit, not an occasional luxury, can change your life. I have found so much personal growth in tackling one “self-care habit” a month and creating a sustainable goal to achieve integration into my weekly routine. For instance, I wanted to start working out this semester, so I created a goal to go to the gym at least three times a week. I

started going with friends and my boyfriend and actually scheduled time in my planner to go. Because I created this goal and reminded myself of my motivation to go to the gym. I’ve managed to make it a really important part of my routine, and actually look forward to working out. Journaling or working out may be a way to take care of yourself, but genuine self-love and reflection is the source of self-care. It takes strength to remind yourself to put your needs first, and to take time to step back and think, “how am I actually feeling? What do I really need right now?” Above all, self-care is not just actions, it is a way of thinking.

March 27, 2019

EDITORIAL South Dakota State women’s basketball goes to Sweet 16 When the NCAA Tournament gave the South Dakota State women’s basketball team oranges, it made the sweetest orange juice. Our women’s team, the No. 6 seed, made history Monday night as it punched its ticket to the Sweet 16 after crushing the No. 3-seeded Syracuse Orange 75-64. Never before has this happened and we, at The Collegian, can’t help but feel ecstatic and proud. Last time the Jackrabbits were in this position in 2016, they fell to Stanford by a single point.

History, however, did not repeat itself this year, and the women have given the state and the school an incredible opportunity to make our mark in the basketball community. The Collegian covers big football games, but no team in all of SDSU athletics has ever accomplished something as huge as a trip to the Sweet 16 — making them, in our opinion, the most successful team in school history. We also want to take a moment to give a hat tip to the seniors, especially the homegrown South Dakota

Jacks, Ducks clash again for spot in Elite Eight LANDON DIERKS Sports Reporter With a 75-64 win over the Syracuse Orange, the Jackrabbits will continue dancing in the NCAA Tournament. Head coach Aaron Johnston’s Jackrabbits have already made program history by advancing to the Sweet 16, but they’re looking to go deeper into the postseason to do that, South Dakota State will have to get past a familiar opponent in Oregon, but avenging its December loss will be no easy task. The Ducks get a virtual home game at the regional site in Portland, Oregon and are playing to extend their season as well. “It’s nice to play a team you’re a little bit familiar with,” senior Madison Guebert said after the second-round win over Syracuse. “Oregon’s a very aggressive team and they have a lot of very talented players. It was a close one for us at Frost Arena, so we’re excited to get

another crack at them.” When Oregon visited Brookings on Dec. 12, 2018, sophomore Satou Sabally and star junior Sabrina Ionescu propelled the Ducks to an 87-79 win. Sabally scored 27 points and grabbed six rebounds while Ionescu flirted with a triple-double, finishing with 26 points, nine assists and eight rebounds. If the sixth-seeded Jackrabbits (28-6) are to knock off the second-seeded Ducks (31-4), they will likely have to make the supporting cast bear more of the offensive load. They got that in the first two games. While the trio of Guebert, Miller and sophomore Myah Selland combined for 103 points, 46 rebounds and 17 assists in the first two rounds (they scored 56 of SDSU’s points in the first matchup with the Ducks) another freshman stepped up. Freshman forward Paiton Burckhard quietly had a solid weekend. She tallied

18 points six rebounds across the two contests. If Burckhard and others can play impactful minutes off the bench in Portland, it will be a welcome sight for SDSU. Oregon’s 86 points per game is the third-best scoring average in the country, and it gets the bulk of the production from the starting lineup. All five starters average 9.8 points per game or more, paced by 19.7 points from Ionescu (she also averages 8.2 assists and 7.5 rebounds). “Their offense is so well balanced,” senior Macy Miller said. “Sabrina Ionescu is a really great player and you can’t just key on her because she makes all the players around her better.” Following the win at Frost Arena, Oregon coach Kelly Graves had high praise for the home team, so don’t expect the Ducks to overlook the Jackrabbits this time around. “Nobody who knows basketball will be surprised by (the final score),” Graves

said after the first matchup. “... These guys are good — we knew that.” Given the recent history with Oregon and the quality of opponent the Jacks faced in the first and second rounds, SDSU coach Johnston believes his team is in a good place but knows his players will have to elevate their performance as the tournament continues. “We’re confident, but you’re playing elite teams,” Johnston said. “Quinnipiac is an elite team and we feel really good about getting that win. You take another step forward and Syracuse is another step up from elite. You win this one and it’s another step up, so the only way to keep moving forward is to take on teams like Oregon. That’s going to be a big, big challenge. They’re awfully good.” Opening tip of the Jacks’ Sweet 16 game will be at 10 p.m. Friday, March 29 from the Moda Center in Portland, with televised coverage on ESPN2.

Julia Andersen leads on, off softball diamond CARTER SCHMIDT Sports Reporter Good things come to those who work hard. At least that is the case for senior outfielder Julia Andersen. Last season, the Papillion, Nebraska native finished with a .397 batting average and .978 fielding percentage and looks to capitalize on that success this season. Andersen became a Jackrabbit after making the drive to Brookings and visiting campus. “(South Dakota State) wasn’t really too big or too small. It was a Division I college and I’ve always wanted to go Division I ever since I was little and it’s not too far from home, but it’s not too close to home either.” Andersen said. She was a four-time varsity letter winner in high school and posted a 2.32 ERA with 116 strikeouts her senior year. She also hit .534 as a junior with a .670 slugging percentage and no strikeouts. Andersen has seen the Jackrabbit program improve throughout her years on the team. In her first year, the Jackrabbits placed fifth in the Summit League. Last year, the Jackrabbits placed second. Head softball coach Krista Wood, who is in her fifth year of coaching at SDSU, said Andersen and her fellow teammates have created a culture of leadership and integrity in the softball program. “This senior class has been a big part of turning this program around into a winning program,” she said. “She is, and the rest of the seniors are, a huge part of

it. Taking a chance and coming here, the biggest thing was changing the culture.” Andersen expected it would be her class to turn the program around, considering they were Wood’s first recruiting class. “I feel like we had a big role to take on, and now as seniors you can tell,” she said. “I think all the seniors do a really good job of being leaders and I hope they carry that on forever.” Andersen finished last season starting in all 55 games, splitting time between center and right field. She committed only two errors for a .978 fielding percentage, converting 88 putouts and two assists. In the outfield this season, she has recorded 23 catches and 22 putouts so far. “She’s solid out there,” Wood said.

“You want her out there because she’s got a great arm. She could play any outfield position we put her in and that’s what’s nice.” Not only does Andersen succeed in the outfield, but she has excelled at the plate as well, averaging .318 with 23 RBIs so far this season. Last season, she tied the school’s single-season hits (77) and doubles (19) records and added three triples and four home runs. She drove in 38 runners and scored 51 runs, passing the previous single-season runs mark to sit second behind teammate Abbey Murphy. Andersen tallied 23 multi-hit games, including nine three-hit performances and 10 multi-RBI games. Wood said confidence is key when at the plate, and it’s something she expects from Andersen. “She is one of those kids you want up at the plate,” she said. “When the bases are loaded or when you need a hit in the top of the seventh, or the bottom of the seventh, she is pretty clutch.” Last season, Andersen also picked up 19 walks to finish with a .588 slugging and .453 on-base percentage. According to Wood, she has been successful because of the hard work and extra time she has put in outside of practice. “She’s [Andersen] bought into our program and our culture and is just a great leader,” Wood said. “I truly believe that good things happen to those who work hard, and I think she is one of those.”

Jacks end series against Oral Roberts with two wins CARSON HERBERT Sports Reporter

Defending champions, Oral Roberts were no match for the South Dakota State baseball team, which won two games out of three on the road against the defending Summit League champions this past weekend in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Jackrabbits and Golden Eagles participated in three one-run games as the top two teams in the Summit League. In the series opener March 22, the Jackrabbits were shut out for the first time in 2019, despite 6.2 strong innings by junior right-handed pitcher Tyler Olmstead. Unfortunately for the Jacks, a second inning RBI single from

Oral Robertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; junior centerfielder, Hunter Swift, was enough run support to give senior starting pitcher Josh McMinn the win. The righthander threw eight shutout innings while striking out six Jackrabbit hitters. South Dakota State junior infielder Braeden Brown singled down the right field line for his second hit of the game in the top of the ninth to force a Golden Eagle pitching change, but the rally came up short after back-to-back strikeouts and a lineout to end the game. Another pitchersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; duel took place Saturday. This time, it was the Jacks edging Oral Roberts by a final score of 2-1. Freshman infielder Drew

Beazleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first home run of the season in the top of the ninth inning broke a 1-1 tie and would be the deciding factor in Jackrabbit win. Senior right-hander Ryan Froom threw 6.2 innings of one-run ball, including getting out of a jam with runners on second and third with nobody out in the bottom of the third with two strikeouts and a flyout to center. The only Golden Eagle run to cross the plate came on a wild pitch by Froom in the fourth inning. The rubber match of the series Sunday was more of an offensive game than the two previous contests for both Oral Roberts and South Dakota State.

Barry Dunn personally melts snow for students BANANA SHEARS Shepherd Green grass is appearing as the snow melts quickly at South Dakota State. Part of this is due to warmer temperatures, but a lot of the credit goes to President Barry Dunn, who has been personally melting the snow on campus. On March 18, President Dunn was walking toward the Student Union to grab lunch

from Chick-fil-A when he slipped on ice and fell. “I’m from the Midwest, I know how to walk on ice, but this was embarrassing,” President Dunn said. “Because I was trying to avoid stepping in puddles, I was distracted.” After dusting and drying himself off, President Dunn had an idea as he sat down and opened his Chick-fil-A bag. “The faster the ice melts, the less I have to worry,” he

said. “When I was younger, my car doors froze shut and I used my mother’s hairdryer to melt the ice. I just applied the same thinking.” The next day, President Dunn held an emergency meeting with university administration where he unveiled his campus ice melting initiative, framing it as a way to benefit safety and campus beauty. He requested they use hairdryers to melt snow on campus.

“Honestly, he’s not wrong about it making campus safer, removing ice protects students, especially ones who wear Uggs,” Michael Adelaine, vice president for technology and safety said. “But this is just kind of crazy.” Despite the crazy, it happened. Administrative members put on their waders and charged up special battery-powered hairdryers and got to work melting snow.

The task took five days to melt snow on campus. “We are always working for students, so even if that means taking time out of the day to make campus safer, we’ll do it,” Vice President of Student Affairs Michaela Willis said. Students have also noticed, like the president of the SDSU Pogo Stick Club, Daryl Minich. “I really respect the administration for helping us spring into spring,” he said.

SA resets, reconstructs, improves, expands GAF PAULA TICKS The Beacon of Light All of the General Activity Fee (GAF) drama was for naught. SDSU student fee expenditure is wiping its slate clean. Students’ Association voted unanimously on Monday, March 25 to reset the GAF and discussed implementing several new ideas that they believe will better help students. “We should reset GAF,” at-large senator Josh Longtin said jokingly. But his idea sparked interest in senators, who were sick of operating based on decades-old decisions. The night started out with President Allyson Monson dividing the Senate into four workgroups: luxury, contraceptives, cuisine and transportation. “There are many different things I want for free. Such as a continental breakfast and a presidential wax museum to honor the rich history that we have here at State,” said junior political science and English

major Alli Cummings. Ideas that were also brought up at the meeting include free daycare for families and providing a doula service for expecting mothers, a benefit that might help fund the school in the future. A doula is a hype man for women in labor, a side-job senior English major Kevy Konynenbelt has when she’s not in school or a coffee shop. “I am excited that the Students’ Association is prioritizing free doula services for all students. As we all know, enrollment has been down recently. Helping SDSU mommas give birth to healthy babies seems like a great proactive measure to ensure we have many Jackrabbits for years to come,” Konynenbelt said. Other students are looking forward to the airport-style moving sidewalks and a ski lift that will be built in 2025 for students to make treks across campus easier for students. “I am very excited about the ski lift but am a little concerned about the high winds that

South Dakota has on the daily. Hopefully, no one gets blown off,” said sophomore electrical engineering student Turner Frank. Despite its popularity, not all senators agreed with the reset and expansion of GAF. Government Affairs Chair Cole McDougall disagrees with the concept of GAF entirely and believes that the money could be better used elsewhere. “It’s about time we get rid of GAF. What does it do for us? Student dollars are the biggest waste of money at the University,” McDougall said. “We need to defund GAF.” Despite his reluctance about the expansion, he voted in favor of the new GAF strategic plan. While it is no question on whether or not the administration will stop the tyrannical SA from overthrowing the dreaded fee that is GAF, students are excited to line up for their continental breakfast every morning from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. in the Union Market.

SA drafts resolution, footrace now required for Senate seats FRANKEN L. ROOSEVELT Definitely Not a Cop The long-standing tradition of voting to elect candidates is as dead as the planet will be in 40 years. South Dakota State’s Students’ Association drafted a resolution on Monday that would require all competing candidates race once around the Student Union to determine senate positions. President Allyson Monson and Government Affairs Chair

Cole McDougall were big supporters of the bill, but every single other senator opposed it. “I think we have been coming at the idea of a candidacy race the wrong way,” Monson said. Senator-At-Large Kaitlyn Frank proposed that the other 28 SA senators race against Monson and McDougall to disprove their theory that this would be an adequate method of electing representatives. Sen. Nick Lorang fired the starting pistol to begin the race.

As the runners took their first step, Senator At-Large Kevy Konynenbelt fell to the ground because President Monson tied her shoelaces together when she wasn’t looking. Sen. Konynenbelt was taken to Student Health for her hurt pride. Monson took an early lead, bounding past each of the college’s representatives while McDougall took out other racers linebacker style. Sen. Megan Kellen was the only representative capable of

keeping up with Monson, and it’s rumored that the two often do hill sprints together after SA meetings. President Monson and Sen. Kellen dashed past the Weary Will and Dirty Lil statue, nearing the finish line. Government Affairs Chair McDougall gained on Sen. Kellen and attempted to take her out, but Sen. Kellen dodged him like the running back she could have been and continued on, neck and neck with Monson. A photo finish revealed that

Monson crossed the finish a fraction of a second before Sen. Kellen, therefore ushering in a new age of literally racing for seats. “I really thought I had her,” Sen. Kellen said after the race. “But at the end of the day I know I just need to train harder before the next election.” University of South Dakota’s student government will be holding a similar race next week. It will be live-streamed by the SDSU Collegian to ensure that coverage is done properly.

New, unique classes to become requirements SAMI’S SISTER Head of the fluff section New and better things are once again coming to South Dakota State University this fall but it’s nothing as crazy as adequate parking. The Board of Regents has decided to add a few new class requirements to SGRs. The details have been kept under wraps by the administration until everything was finalized. But President Barry Dunn officially broke the news to the professors, and therefore manifested the new plan into existence. “It was a long process but we believe these new classes will truly help students really grow and be able to survive in the real world,” President Dunn said. Some of the new classes include: Becoming an Influencer, Long Live Vine, Ghosting 101 and Crafting Viral Tweets. Students that already attend Board of Regents’ schools were randomly selected last spring to help in the process of deciding these requirements. Megan Hehr, an early child-

hood education major, was one of the students selected. She believes these classes will increase SDSU’s plummeting enrollment numbers since these classes will be the first of their kind in the area. “I think that they [administration] choose a great set of classes for new students to take. I think the being ghosted class would be interesting,” Hehr said. “I’ve been ghosted and ghosted guys a few times and hopefully this class will give me more tips on it.” Although there are no instructors or professors for the classes, there are syllabi and tentative schedules in place to work with guest speakers for each class. Throughout the semester each class will have a guest speaker in the respective field who will provide students with advice and ideas to succeed outside of the classroom. For Long Live Vine [LLV 101], Cody Ko, who had nearly three million followers on Vine before it shut down in 2017, will be at SDSU to talk to students about switching from Vine to other platforms and his fortune.

“Cody Ko is a very successful YouTuber, Viner and influencer, I’ve watched his videos and vines for years and really love his ‘That’s Cringe’ videos,” said sophomore graphic design major Emily Seaton. Just like Hehr and Seaton, many other students have expressed their interest in these classes and even have some experience like junior civil engineering major Lincoln Megard. Megard has been working on becoming an influencer through Instagram for the past year now. “I don’t have a large following yet or any brand deals but by taking the influencer class and gaining more knowledge about the industry I will get there someday,” Megard said. These classes are also being discussed as a replacement for the mathematics, English and freshman seminar requirements. “I strongly believe that students shouldn’t need to learn about adding and subtracting or being literate,” Dunn said. “These new classes are what the kids should really focus on because they could become even more successful in the future.”

Yotes tackle Jackrabbits Campanile lights up red and black to mourn death of team’s pride TENT ASIAGO Cheese Enthusiast VERMILLION – The unthinkable finally happened. For the first time in almost two decades, the South Dakota Coyotes beat the South Dakota State Jackrabbits on the gridiron. The Coyotes dominated the Jackrabbits in just about every aspect en route to a 57-14 win. Senior USD quarterback Austin Simmons threw for 628 yards, four touchdowns and ran for 130 yards. “We just totally dominated the Jackrabbits today, in every aspect of the game,” USD head coach Bob Nielson said. It was almost a complete flip of the script that fans have seen for the past 10 games in the rivalry. Instead of the University of South Dakota struggling throughout the game like fans have come to expect in the past 10 matchups, it was South Dakota State that was unable to be effective. “It was like they were stuck in mud out there,” junior advertising major Brianna Schreurs said after the game. Even Students’ Association President, Allyson Monson, was disappointed with how the Jackrabbits performed after the game. “I don’t even know if serving as president is worth it anymore,” a dejected President Monson said. South Dakota State was unable to answer any South Dakota scores due to the lack of offensive production. Taryn Christion threw for 107 yards and two touchdowns but had three interceptions. On the ground, the Jackrabbits were dominated by the strong USD offensive

line, who held Pierre Strong to 37 yards on 11 carries. It was Kai Henry and the rushing attack that led the offensive charge for the Coyotes. Henry had 20 carries for 342 yards and three touchdowns. The Coyote victory solidified the notion that the state of South Dakota is indeed a “red state.” “I hate to admit it, but this state really is a red state now after that performance,” head coach John Stieglemeier said. After the game, President Barry

Dunn announced that the Campanile will be lit up red and black for the entire year instead of blue and yellow. “We aren’t worthy to have our school colors show on the campanile after that pathetic performance,” Dunn said. Because of the nature of improbability of the win, Gov. Kristi Noem has issued a state of emergency and has sent National Guard members to Brookings to assist in the efforts of the mass shock that has affected the city after the game. “We can’t have all these residents

having complete lapses in judgments,” Noem said. “I mean, the community of Brookings drank the entirety of downtown dry after the game.” From the Wild Hare to Ray’s Corner, there wasn’t a drop of alcohol in the city of Brookings. “While the game was devastating, this is definitely the biggest loss,” Andrew Holtan, senior journalism major, said.
