On the 18th of April, I experienced one of the most energetic, compassionate, and loud concerts I’ve ever been to. It was right here in Menomonie at the Skate Ranch, featuring three bands and an awesome DJ. One of the bands, Diane Selwyn, is based locally; every member of the band is a student at...

Spring has finally sprung in Menomonie, and the anticipation of summer has filled the air all around campus. Along with many other Stout students, it seems I can’t go more than 24 hours without asking or being questioned, “What are your summer plans?” While the excitement practically comes screaming out as we answer, I got...

Thrifting has become an ongoing trend that not only saves money for lots of students, but also helps stop fast fashion.

The official ballot starts on Monday, April 20th at 8:00 a.m. and closes Friday, April 24th at 5:00 p.m. But why is this important? Why should you vote? According to Presidential Candidate G

Have you noticed strange blue bins with a large QR code on top around campus? The students I’ve asked either hadn’t noticed them at all or were unsure about their purpose. These captured my attention last week; they may look like recycling bins, but they’re for more than just trash. They’re around for something specific actually… Earth Day! So, w

Wisconsin weather can be unpredictable. The snow can last from October to April, and in turn, outdoor athletics can be put into jeopardy. The number of games being postponed is increasing, which not only impacts scheduled games but practice as well. It puts teams at a clear disadvantage when these spring teams can’t perform on their preferred terrain. With t
