When James Wan and Leigh Whannell were still independent filmmakers back in 2003, they released a low-budget short film, “Saw,” which later turned into a magnificent franchise success to attract millions of Horror goers. The countless audiences seeking an adrenaline rush have fallen in love with the chilling, uncomfortable journey where everybody’s secrets are shamelessly revealed, and the characters fight to prove their individual morality and good intentions in order to sur

As the semester comes to a close, it is evident that there is still work to be done. Whether you are on top of things or not, it is important to stay focused and, most importantly, diligent until the end. This is the time students often find themselves unmotivated as the winter break is merely weeks away. Understand that if you drop the ball now, the consequences may be larger than you think.

Inclusion is not education. There need to be clear statements made as to how the university would educate students on h

The football season is now in full swing and the league has still not found a place in its heart, or on its roster, for Colin Kaepernick. As a Florida native, it was devastating to see that the Miami Dolphins decided to sign Jay Cutler who spent the 2016 season riding the bench for the Chicago Bears. With only a 2 percent better passing record and a significantly deficient rush game compared to Kaepernick, the Dolphins could have done better. Take into consideration that Kaep

Sexual assault is an issue that exists on our university campus and should not be ignored. It is not uncommon for students to avoid discussing sexual assault. In order to ensure that all Minot State students are equipped with the knowledge sufficient for taking action, the university has made it mandatory for all students to complete a Title IX online course. The goal of the course is to give you accurate understanding of sexual assault, increase awareness, prevent the occurr
