Jamestown College won its first-ever women’s Dakota Athletic Conference tournament championship Tuesday in Black Hills.

“You always hope to win and experience it in front of your home crowd,” head coach Mark Wiest said. “But for us to beat them on their home court for a championship was the ultimate high.”

#10—“Jurassic Park” by Michael Crichton: I’ll warn you ahead of time. This list is going to be more diverse than your standard top 10 “literary greats.” There’s more to “Jurassic Park” than meets the eye. In many ways, it is the “Frankenstein” of our generation. It’s about what happens when man messes with something he doesn’t understand. It’s about humankind deciding to leap before it looks. Also, it has some of the most pulse-pounding suspense sequences ever written.

Back in 2007, 2K Games released Bioshock for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Bioshock was the “spiritual” sequel to the PC series System Shock, a blend of RPG and FPS elements set in derelict space station with an insane artificial intelligence shadowing your every step. Bioshock shared the FPS elements and creepy atmosphere from the System Shock games, but not much else.

If you are looking for somewhere new to eat, I would highly suggest La Carreta. Located in the strip mall near Wal-Mart and Applebee’s, it is Jamestown’s newest Mexican restaurant.

When customers enter the door a host will greet them with a smile and a “Hola.” The main dining area is a large room with booths around the sides and other tables in the center. The room has a spacious, uncluttered, comfortable feeling, and the decorations compliment the room very well.

It may be strange to some for a campus with so many nursing students and instructors to have no nurse or health care center available for students or faculty, but Jamestown College will probably remain that way. Dean of Students Gary Van Zinderen said that the need for an on-campus nurse is not as great as it may seem.

Don’t be alarmed that you’ve gone to the wrong home if a Taiwanese or Ethiopian child answers Professor Brian Lang’s door. He and his wife, Lisa, say God has called them to adopt two orphans of each race during the last five years.

“I think it’s a direct correlation to listening to God,” Lisa said. “We clearly know it’s from him so far as that he says in scripture to look after orphans and widows.”

Although they had God on their side, Brian said it was not an easy decision.

Classes are into the thick of things. Tests are raining down upon students. The end seems so far away, but do not lose hope yet. Spring break is right around the corner, where thankfully everyone will get a chance to take a breather. Here is the million dollar question. What are your plans for spring break? What are you going to do with that blissful week of no classes or deadlines?

Intramural sports are a great way to get exercise and have fun with your friends. They provide an opportunity for people to play in a competitive, organized and enjoyable environment. Perhaps the most competitive of all the intramural sports is basketball.
Every January students either compile or join an intramural basketball team with the hope of winning a championship T-shirt. This year intramural basketball should be particularly competitive because of the amount of teams participating.

This Sunday the Vikings will have their first chance at going to the Super Bowl since the 38- yard field goal attempt that has haunted a generation of Vikings fans. The funny thing about the ‘09 team and that ’98 team is that they share lots of similarities.
Let’s first talk about the roster comparisons. We all remember that explosive rookie wide receiver that teams had to readjust their game plan for, right? Yes, the great Randy Moss. He was considered a freak because of how fast he was and his exceptional jumping ability.
