This Week in Saint's News

 By Frank Piegari 

With the fourth week of class officially in session, the University of Saint Francis has no shortage of events and announcements for students. 

For those of you with cars on campus but no parking pass, Safety and Security have announced that the two week grace period of parking on campus has ended. This means that in order to avoid a parking violation, then a permit must be purchased. This can be done at the security office or on the student portal. Brochures with additional information will be available in the security office to help assist anyone who might have any further questions.

In other news, homecoming is almost upon us, and the time to nominate a king and queen is now. Students have been sent emails with a link that will allow them to nominate a king and queen. Nominations are open until September sixteenth.

Saturday 9/17 is a big day for campus athletics. Beginning at 10:00 a.m., the women's cross country team will be participating in the Wheaton College Gil Dodds invitational. Following this, the men's cross country team will be participating in the same event starting at 10:45. Next, the men and women's soccer team will be playing against Indiana University Northwest. The women will play at 1:00 p.m. followed by the men playing at 3:30 p.m. with both games taking place in Joliet.

Wisconsin High School Sports Face An Uncertain Winter Season

By Sarah Vandermolen photo courtesy of nytimes.com Although most Wisconsin high schools decided to compete in fall sports this year, it seems some schools will not have the same luck for the winter sport season. Unlike other states, Wisconsin does not have a statewide mandate in regards to high school sports. For this reason, the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) has left school districts to decide whether they will be participating in winter sports.  Due to the increase of COVID-19 cases, many high schools in Wisconsin have decided to suspend their winter sport season, while others are charging forward with competitions. However, even if schools decide to hold their winter season, not all high schools will begin on time.  According to rivertowns.net , "Locally, River Falls and New Richmond have suspended all athletics and activities through Dec. 7, while Hudson, St. Croix Central and Somerset are beginning as planned."  St. Croix Central athletic dire...
