DM STAFF REPORT University lights annual Christmas tree ASB rejects proposed ‘campus sanctuary’ Because of a failure to comply with senate procedures, Associ- ated Student Body senators with- drew an draft resolution Tuesday that recommended university offi - cials make campus a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants. Universities nationwide, includ- ing Florida International Univer- sity and Swarthmore College, sub- mitted similar petitions in the last month requesting their campuses become sanctuaries. Before the bill made it to the student body senate fl oor, activ- ist groups including the Our State Flag Foundation and Mississippi Rising Coalition shared leaked im- ages of an early draft on Facebook. The Associated Student Body did not discuss the resolution during its Tuesday session but did release a statement later explain- ing why the proposed legislation was rejected. ASB’s letter said the public- ly leaked documents exist only in draft form and have yet to be passed by the ASB Senate Com- mittee on Rules or the ASB Senate as a whole.

Return of the Tiger excites golfing world BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE [email protected]
It’s been 15 months since Tiger Woods has swung a golf club in competition, but it re- ally feels like longer. Woods hasn’t won a golf tournament since 2013. He’s made just 11 cuts since 2014. Injuries have bogged him down as his body has worn down from age and the rigorous military training he was infatuated with over the last decade. He’s often joked lately that he isn’t dead, even if people think he is, and if they need- ed proof, he’s teeing it up on Thursday morning in Hero World Challenge. A tourna- ment that really means noth- ing. It’s not an official PGA Tour event. It doesn’t count for Fedex Cup Points and is really nothing other than a nice bonus check before the holiday season for some sea- soned PGA Tour pros.
