It’s sort of a relief from being stuck in your head all day.” Though she grew up in the Midwest and later lived in New York City, Abbott was always drawn to the mysterious feel- ing surrounding Mississippi. “(Mississippi) has a compli- cated history and literary tra- dition,” she said. “Everyone has a story and everyone is a natural storyteller.

The senate also passed a constitutional amendment that will move the spring election day for ASB offices from the third Tuesday in February to the fourth Tues- day in March. ASB Secretary Morgan Gregory and Senator James Parrett authored the amend- ment. “We got in the Govern- mental Operations Com- mittee meeting and hashed out so many options for the cycle and what would be best for every branch of govern- ment,” Gregory said. Gregory said she thinks the Senate will benefit by push- ing the elections back be- cause new officers would not have to spend as many weeks transitioning in the spring. “By taking away those few weeks, we’re going to gain so much more by having that big chunk of time.” Since the change to elec- tions is a constitutional amendment, it will have to pass through the senate a sec- ond time. If the amendment passes again, students will vote on it on Feb. 18.
