Utah is on a roll. With a 55-28 win over Baylor, hopes of claiming a spot in the Big 12 Conference Championship Game on Dec. 6 remain intact.

An overwhelming chunk of Utah’s offensive success came from the run game: 380 rushing yards and five touchdowns capped off an impressive performance by the offensive line on the road.

Superstar offensive tackle and projected first-round NFL draft pick Spencer Fano explained how it feels to be a part of an elite rushing attack. “It’s so much fun. You do your job and then you see these guys just running down the field, it’s so much fun, man.” Fano said. “I feel like we usually have a bunch of those short chip yards and take a lot of time off the clock, but today those guys were getting out there and making plays. They’re untouchable when they’re in the open field.”

On Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025, at 7:30 p.m., Kahlert Village went on lockdown due to a Salt Lake Police Department report of an aggravated assault situation involving a girl being stabbed 15-20 times.

“Aggravated assault is an assault likely to cause serious bodily injury or death or with a weapon,” said U Police Sergeant Jason Miller in an in-person interview with The Chronicle.

Student accounts postulated that the stabbing was on the fourth floor of the Community Engagement tower. Kahlert Village residents claimed that the assailant was the victim’s boyfriend, who had an AR-15.

“It appears to be a swatting incident,” said President Taylor Randall to The Chronicle in a brief in-person exchange at the Department of Public Safety building at 9:00 p.m.

11/18/2025

The first time students at the University of Utah learned about the changes the administration is making to the class schedule was through an Instagram post on Aug. 28 with the caption “so, about parking.” These changes will move some classes outside of primetime hours (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) so that by the fall of 2026, at least 40 percent of classes will be scheduled outside these hours.

After a negative reaction from students, including a petition to reverse the decision, the administration made another post claiming the motivation behind the change. “The real motivation for us is improving student success,” the post said. “Better scheduling helps students complete their degrees on time, which reduces tuition costs and allows them to enter the workforce sooner.”

Salt Lake City is a place that supports and nurtures art. From the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art to the Pioneer Theatre Company, there are plenty of places to go see and experience art. Naturally, Utah has its own premier, top-of-the-line spot for the grand and cherished art that is classical music. The Utah Symphony is the premier location for classical music in Utah.

The place of performance of the Utah Symphony is Maurice Abravanel Hall, a modern, gorgeous building that sets the right mood for the concerts. The actual performance hall itself creates a warm, relaxing atmosphere that gently guides the attention of the viewer to the stage. The stage has a square overlapping design, engaging the eyes to move across it and take it in.

It’s a weeknight. After a little chit-chat and perhaps some food and drink outside, you and a few dozen other eager patrons drift into one of two disarmingly large theaters. The room hums; old trailers, vintage ads and the occasional “The Simpsons” clip light up the big screen. Eventually, a staffer moseys to the front, introduces the feature and the room answers with loud applause.

That’s a typical free repertory night at Brewvies Cinema Pub, the bar-and-movie house at the corner of 700 S. and 200 West. Beyond serving in its capacity as a place to both drink alcohol and watch movies, a pastime of perhaps billions of people the world over, Brewvies has been fulfilling a very important need in the Salt Lake Valley for decades: accessible repertory programming.

Woodward Park City brought winter to the University of Utah’s campus on Friday, trucking in 60,000 pounds of ice to the Union Lawn for a rail jam hosted by ASUU. The competition featured both professional and student athletes, drawing a crowd of hundreds. It lasted for three hours as skiers and snowboarders showed off their skills.

Organizers of the event blew more than 3,000 square feet of snow onto the course after construction of the temporary slope began on Nov. 2, according to Heather King, associate communications director for the U.

The event served four student competition divisions, including women’s and men’s skiing and women’s and men’s student snowboarding. Professional athletes also joined the jam, performing a pro exhibition and demo.

ASUU partnered with Woodward to bring ski season early to the U. The skiers discussed the importance of the event for the ski community.

As Halloween slowly crept into season, it rang of fear and freedom. For women, this holiday reminds us of our history walking a line between empowerment and objectification.

In “Mean Girls” (2004), Cady Heron said, “Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slt and no other girls can say anything about it.” Although humorous, this quote hints at a larger paradox. Society urges women to dress revealingly, but with the same notion criticizes women for being provocative or expressing themselves in a way they feel comfortable.

Still without a decision on funding legislation, the government shutdown has continued into November, meaning millions of residents will no longer have access to their SNAP Benefits. While federal judges ruled Friday, Oct. 31 that the government must provide funding throughout the shutdown, food aid will be delayed for weeks at a minimum. It could be longer depending on whether the Trump administration accepts or appeals the ruling.

About 41 million people used the snap program monthly in 2024, marking 12% of the country’s population (1 in 8). Around 170,000 Utah residents were on food stamps in 2024. Utah food bank estimates 86,000 households will lose food aid this month.

The University of Utah does not have exact numbers of how many students currently rely on SNAP for food aid; however, the Basic Needs Collective told the Chronicle in an email statement that the organization expects to see an increase in the use of its services over the next month due to the shutdown.

Salt Lake City’s oldest continually running gay bar and first bar to attempt unionization in the city — The SunTrapp — closed its doors on Oct 31. Since late September, bartenders, barbacks and performers at the downtown bar organized under the Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 7765, citing unsafe working conditions and what they describe as retaliation from management.
