A new "Stand Your Ground" law was cited in a recent Columbia shooting Senate Bill 656, which went into effect Jan. 1, allows citizens to use deadly force whenever they feel reasonably threatened, without retreating first. This is commonly referred to as “Stand Your Ground.” Columbia resident Karl Henson was arrested last month for first-degree felony after shooting at a man who tried to steal his cellphone.
“The only reason I thought it was okay to shoot at him while he was running away was because of what happened with the new year on the law change,” Henson said in the probable cause statement for the Jan. 23 incident.
Column: It's brutal having someone sit in your unassigned assigned seat Columnist Kennedy Horton tackles the problem we’ve all experienced: someone stealing your unassigned assigned seat.
“Determining one’s seat happens in the first two days of class. The rules of a classroom versus a lecture hell are a bit different, because after a certain row in a lecture, it doesn’t matter; it’s just all counted as “the back.” Nevertheless, there are still rules. After two days of class, you should be locked in and solidified. You’re essentially sworn into that seat until the end of time, or at least the semester. Therefore, it’s a crime to sit anywhere else.”

MUPD issues crime alerts about sexual assaults and other suspicious incidents by Virginia Avenue The MU Police Department received a report of a sexual assault of a female student — which involved the suspect following her, then hugging and kissing her — near the Virginia Avenue Parking Structure at about 2:30 p.m. Sunday. They sent out a crime alert that night, which initially only mentioned this incident and another similar incident the suspect could have been involved in. The department later released two more crime alerts describing three additional incidents. Yesterday afternoon, the third crime alert said officers had identified the suspect and brought him to MUPD.
MU will add a Native American indigenous studies minor The new minor will be available in fall 2017 through the religious studies department. The minor is intended to provide an interdisciplinary overview of Native American studies and to look broadly at Native American communities through political, social, economic and historical lenses. Dennis Kelley, an associate professor in the religious studies department, has been the leading force behind the creation of the minor. “There is an expressed interest from the students as evidenced by our classes being quite popular,” Kelley said. “People are interested and concerned about American Indian and indigenous issues both here and abroad.”

The first MSA presidential debate of the campaign was last night in Bengal Lair The candidates squared off on several subjects, including the It’s On Us program to combat campus sexual assault, MSA outreach to campus organizations and campus accessibility. The slates do not agree on whether they support a past joint session resolution that calls for MU to divest from prison labor, and all three slates support the Enhance Mizzou fee, which would expand library and Counseling Center access, among other things.
When asked to disclose how much money their campaigns planned to spend, Schafer said her campaign would spend around $1,800, and Stockton/Gulati said they would spend around $1,500. Willett/Englert had raised $4,885 as of Tuesday night for their campaign through a GoFundMe page with a fundraising goal set at $10,000. All three slates agreed campaign funding and endorsements should be regulated and that the cost of running an MSA campaign can be a barrier for the involvement of some students.

Feature: Junior JoMerra Watson alters iconic paintings to confront contemporary issues By Hannah Simon
For many, prints of masterpieces such as the “Mona Lisa” and “The Birth of Venus” cling to the cinderblock walls of student dorm rooms. For one MU student, however, these iconic paintings are blank canvases ready to be recreated.
JoMerra Watson, a fine arts junior with an emphasis in painting, redefines iconic paintings such as Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” and Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” in her series “Rewrite.” The series, displayed at the Visual Art and Design Showcase held at Jesse Hall from Jan. 30 to Feb. 3, incorporates black women into the artwork. In doing so, Watson aims to confront contemporary issues, such as the black community’s lack of representation in art, police brutality and modern-day standards of beauty.

MSA President Payton Head speaks to an audience Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015. | Maneater File Photo
Former MSA president Payton Head came back to Mizzou to speak for Black History Month on Monday
Since being elected Missouri Students Association President his junior year and graduating last spring, Head has given speeches at universities across the country, including Johns Hopkins, the University of Alabama and the University of Kentucky. During his speech, he encouraged students to get involved on campus and in the local community.
“When we’re afraid of being politically incorrect we don’t talk at all … and we need to talk about these issues,” Head said. “It’s important to know where this all comes from. It’s important to know why things are the way they are. Asking yourself why is how we get to the history.”
Potential student fee would include TigerWiFi updates The fee would charge $35 to every student, which would be divided between expanding Wi-Fi and technology services, MU’s libraries, Counseling Center, leadership and service programs, student unions and other campus activities. About $5 of the fee will be used to help with TigerWiFi, including speed upgrades in high-density areas like the Student Center, Memorial Union and Stankowski Field.

Column: For one night, Missouri basketball made fans forget about their struggles Columnist Nick Kelly reflects on the Mizzou fans’ turnout at the basketball game against Kentucky. “The fans in attendance created so much energy that the power generators that keep Mizzou Arena running could have taken the night off. Former Missouri center Ryan Rosburg tweeted that it was the loudest Mizzou Arena has been in the past three and a half years. The fans stayed engaged. The ‘MIZ’ ‘ZOU’ call and response chant lasted until the final five minutes. Normally, it doesn’t even make it out of the first five minutes after the opening tipoff.” Read more here.

Column: Sleep is essential to college success, and Red Bull can't replace it Columnist Emmett Ferguson discusses the importance of sleep when you’re a college student. “The biggest mistake that you can make with sleep in college is the famed ‘all-nighter.’ We’ve all been there: You might not have gone to class as much as you should have, maybe didn’t really pay attention while you were there, and your notebook paper is still looking whiter than the Oscars. You figure that if you just cram in information nonstop for the next 12 hours, you’ll be fine. The material will be fresh, and you’ll scrape at least a B on the test. This is where you are wrong.”

The three-year road struggle continued Saturday, as the Tigers fell once again when they left the comforts of CoMo. At times, this game felt different. It seemed like Saturday would be the day the long drought of road wins would end, and it certainly looked possible when Cullen VanLeer hit two free throws to give Mizzou a 72-71 lead with three minutes remaining. Ole Miss responded with five straight points, and the Tigers lost a heartbreaker.

Women’s Basketball thrashes Ole Miss 100-65 on Senior Night
By Langston Newsome
Missouri women’s basketball (20-9, 10-5) came into senior night Thursday on a tear. The Tigers had won eight of their last 10 games and were riding a three-game winning streak.
The Tigers maintained dominance in a 100-65 dismantling of Ole Miss (16-12, 5-10) at Mizzou Arena. This is Missouri’s first back-to-back 20-win season with eight conference wins since the 1985-86 and 1986-87 seasons.
Sophie Cunningham was unstoppable, dropping a game-high 32 points on 11-for-13 shooting to go with four assists and two rebounds. The Tigers were deadly from deep, shooting 60.9 percent from behind the 3-point line, while holding Ole Miss to 35 percent from the field.

Column: For one night, Missouri made fans forget about their struggles
By Nick Kelly
The Missouri men’s basketball team shocked many in the college basketball world by sticking with No. 11 Kentucky for 39 minutes, but that wasn’t its most impressive feat.
Against Kentucky, Missouri made its fans briefly forget about the losses to schools you probably haven’t heard of such as Lipscomb and North Carolina Central. It made its fans forget about the uninspiring performances throughout its 13-game losing streak. And it made its fans suppress thoughts about the SEC-record three consecutive 20-loss seasons.
For one night, the roars of Tigers fans drowned out the negative noise that has surrounded the program in its three years under coach Kim Anderson, as they enjoyed a rare drama-filled basketball game.
The Tigers made you forget about the attendance issues that have plagued their third consecutive losing season; usually, fans sit scattered around the arena. This season, maybe 5,000 fans show up on a good night, and the student section is often filled with a handful of individuals who likely need a way to kill time with friends.
