MSA slates prepare for second debate tonight The Maneater and the Board of Elections Commissioners host the second MSA presidential debate at 6 p.m. tonight in The Shack. Voting starts one week from today and lasts until March 8. Read our takeaways from the last debate here.
A new bill would let you take alcohol right up to your airport gate A bill that just passed the state House would allow people to order alcoholic drinks “to go” at airport bars and bring them directly to the gate. Supporters of the bill say it would help business in airports, but some worry that it would lead to more public drunkenness. The bill has yet to pass the Senate but had bipartisan support in the House. Even if it passes, though, you still wouldn’t be able to bring drinks from home through security or bring alcohol onto the plane.
Sen. Roy Blunt's new Columbia office opened today The senator’s former office downtown closed at the end of last week, and its replacement in a former warehouse off College Avenue, north of Wilkes Boulevard, opens this morning. Earlier this spring, Blunt’s office on Cherry Street, downtown, was a target for demonstrators against education secretary Betsy DeVos before her confirmation.
Recap: Women’s basketball defeated Alabama 65-56 in a comeback victory Sunday afternoon. The game is their 11th SEC win of the year, and it assured them a double-bye in the SEC Tournament this week.
Elsewhere this weekend, track and field junior Karissa Schweizer won the mile and the 3,000 meter races at SEC Championships in Nashville. She was the top female scorer at the meet.
What to watch tonight: In men’s college basketball, No. 8 North Carolina visits No. 18 Virginia at 6 p.m. on ESPN. On the women’s side, No. 4 Baylor is at No. 16 Oklahoma at 7 p.m. on Fox Sports 1. In the pros, the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Cleveland Cavaliers at 6 p.m. on TNT. Courtesy of Vimeo
The Oscars were last night, and MOVE has your morning-after review of how the awards shook out.
Best picture: “Moonlight,” actually — not “La La Land,” as was originally announced (whoops) Best actor: Casey Affleck, “Manchester by the Sea” Best actress: Emma Stone, “La La Land” Best actor in a supporting role: Mahershala Ali, “Moonlight” Best actress in a supporting role: Viola Davis, “Fences”
After Warren Beatty accidentally announced “La La Land” as the Best Picture winner instead of the actual winning film, “Moonlight,” Twitter erupted. Here are some of the best Tweets from the evening:

The first Residence Halls Association presidential debate was Sunday night Here are the top takeaways:
Different experience: Maggie Recca and Mitchell Davis both have experience in RHA, as programming coordinator on the executive board and Senate residential life chairman, respectively. Solomon Davis and Jeremy Richmond both have experience in RHA as presidents of their respective halls, Hatch and Wolpers.
Different focus: Recca/Davis emphasize safety and want to look at new policies on the blue light safety alert system on campus, Green Dot training and mental health resources for residents. Davis/Richmond want to emphasize diversity by having more diverse people in leadership roles, which would lead to a “trickle-down” effect to more diverse membership.
Different opinions on separate housing: Recca/Davis’ platform advocates for separate programming as a possible way to encourage students who aren’t freshmen to continue living in residence halls. However, Solomon Davis said that separation would impede the sense of community found in the residence halls.
Recap: In men’s college basketball, North Carolina lost to Virginia 53-43. On the women’s side, Baylor won 71-62 against Oklahoma. In the pros, the Milwaukee Bucks lost 102-95 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. What to Watch: The St. Louis Blues take on the Edmonton Oilers at 7 p.m. on FSMW. The Golden State Warriors play the Washington Wizards at 6 p.m. on CSBA. Lupita Nyong'o | Courtesy of Disney
Still reeling from the Oscars? Check out the documentary “And the Oscar Goes to…,” which takes an in-depth look at the long history of the awards. The Academy Awards were started in 1929 by the studio head of what became Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to unite the film industry. There were only 12 categories, which is hard to believe given the number that are there now. The film was reviewed by columnist Ally Rudolph here.

MUPD arrested two MU students for anti-Semitic harassment Monday Interim Chancellor Hank Foley sent out an email yesterday that described the events that took place around 8 p.m. Monday by McDavid Hall. Two MU students were each held on a $1,500 bond at the Boone County Jail but have been released. The email stated that the case was now in the hands of the Boone County Police Department and that the incident was “abhorrent and antithetical to [MU’s] core value of respect.”

MSA presidential candidates have raised thousands of dollars for their campaigns
Nathan Willett and Payton Englert have raised almost $5,000 for their Missouri Students Association presidential bid, Tori Schafer and Riley de Leon plan to spend $1,800, and Josh Stockton and Shruti Gulati plan to spend $1,500. The Board of Elections Commissioners handbook, which sets guidelines for MSA elections, does not prohibit this much spending on campaigns. However, it does require forms to be filled out every week that record any donations or campaign spending of $100 or more.
New UM System President Mun Y. Choi officially began his term yesterday Choi’s selection was announced Nov. 6. The position had been filled by interim Mike Middleton for the past 15 months, after former UM System President Tim Wolfe resigned amid protests in fall 2015. Choi was previously the University of Connecticut’s provost from 2012 until Feb. 1. Upon leaving office, Middleton wrote a ‘thank you’ to the UM System:
“I am grateful for the opportunity to witness our university come together and I know the future is bright with Dr. Choi as our next president. I hope you will welcome him and work together to take this university to new heights.”
Editorial: The Maneater endorses Schafer/de Leon for MSA
“After much deliberation, The Maneater Editorial Board is endorsing Tori Schafer and Riley de Leon for Missouri Students Association president and vice president.
However, we expected more from the MSA presidential and vice presidential slates this year. The three slates — Schafer/de Leon, Stockton/Gulati and Willett/Englert — all had major shortcomings in their platforms.”

Voting will be open from March 6 to 8.
Column: Celebrities should be held accountable for their harmful actions Columnist Bizzy Emerson discusses the separation of celebrities from their crimes in Hollywood. “It can be extremely hard to separate the artist from the art. I grappled heavily with this issue when Woody Allen was accused of sexually assaulting his own daughter. I struggle to listen to an addictively catchy Chris Brown song without thinking of the trauma Rihanna and, more recently, Karrueche Tran both endured. I felt the same way about watching ‘Manchester by the Sea’ — does my viewership of something that inherently supports a sexual predator mean that I, too, support that individual?”

Recap: The Boston Bruins lost 2-1 to the New York Rangers. The Chicago Bulls won 94-87 against the Golden State Warriors.

The Cleveland Cavaliers play the Atlanta Hawks at 6 p.m. on ESPN.

Lorde is back! After a three-year music hiatus, the “Royals” singer finally released the first single off her upcoming sophomore album, “Melodrama.” The song “Green Light” has the singer’s signature raspy vocals but sounds more pop-esque than her first album. The single was written with Jack Antonoff, formerly of the band fun., which may explain the new sound. The internet is still in love with the singer, with many of her fans tweeting her praises.

YOUR GUIDE TO T/F...
How to True/False: Live your best fest
True/False Film Fest isn’t just a weekend — it’s a lifestyle. Well, at least for those four days. Whether it’s your first fest or you’re a veteran of the Q, here are the tips, tricks and must-sees for 2017.
Read senior staff writer Nat Kaemmerer’s full guide to T/F here.

For the Love of Movies: A categorical guide to True/False films
The True/False Film Fest is in its 14th year, and as in prior years, the film festival has attracted work from some of the most celebrated documentary filmmakers in the world. More than 30 films make up this year’s lineup, meaning literally dozens of great films are going to be showing downtown during one magnificent weekend, March 2-5. How to choose between so many amazing films with so little time? Take a look below, and you will see some of the docs that caught my eye, categorically compartmentalized to help you in your search for the right choice.

True/False and KBIA create a podcast that any documentary lover will be addicted to
True/False Film Fest is always packed with inspiring and awe-worthy documentaries, but this year, True/False has teamed up with KBIA to interview the directors of these films.
The new True/False Podcast lets listeners go behind the scenes of their favorite True/False documentaries and hear directors talk about their work on. True/False and KBIA joined forces to create this podcast that highlights the “art and craft of nonfiction storytelling,” according to a news release.

This year’s True/False merch shows ethereal themes
“Out of the Ether,” this year’s True/False Film Fest theme, has led to some interesting and otherworldly merchandise.
There are nine different T-shirts for True/False, each for $20, as well as a baseball tee for $28 and sweatshirts and long-sleeved shirts for various prices. Most shirts have alchemic, scientific or psychic themes. There are enough styles that there’s something for every type of festival-goer. If your True/False style is a little more dapper, pick up one of the neckties or bowties printed with tiny festival logos. If you have little ones, get them a True/False onesie or bib. Some designs are great standbys you’ll find year after year.

True Life Fund breaks the fourth wall
The entrance to the True/False Film Fest office is easy to miss. The property’s only identification is a single piece of paper taped to a lonely door nestled between Bluestem Missouri Crafts and the awning for Tellers.
It’s an old property. The stairs creak with each step, and there’s a musty smell similar to that of a grandparent’s house. Sitting in the hallway, you can hear everything that’s going on. There are people making calls in almost every room, doors being closed and keyboards being tapped on. It’s a modest building considering the work that’s being done inside.
After waiting a few minutes, I’m greeted by a woman with a short bob and a warm smile. She’s wearing a blue jacket that’s embellished with a familiar logo: a circle featuring a T and an F.
I follow her into her office, and we sit down in her two floral-print “conversation chairs.” She formally introduces herself as Allison Coffelt and hands me a brochure that reads: “Storytelling. Inspiration. Action.”
Coffelt is True/False’s education director and coordinator for the festival's True Life Fund.
“Film festivals often recognize filmmakers,” Coffelt said. “That’s wonderful and obviously deserved. However, one thing film festivals often don’t do, especially in the documentary world, is recognize the people who give their lives to the filmmaker.”

True/False art ‘sparks an interaction’
True/False Film Fest originally started as a showcase for documentaries, but it has evolved to include other aspects of the arts, such as music and art installations. This weekend the streets of Columbia will be transformed into a giant art gallery, displaying the work of artists from across the world with different backgrounds. Displaying approximately 40 visual artists’ work annually, True/False will host a wide array of artwork to be seen in various locations across Columbia.
The community can expect to see a diverse artist lineup this weekend. Some are veterans who have worked with the festival from the start, such as interactive artist Emily Hemeyer, while others, like Brittany Nelson, create artifacts that speak about the future and are brand new to the festival.
Some artists are from halfway across the world, such as Nabil El Jaouhari, a mixed- media artist from Lebanon specializing in the practice of olive oil staining, while others are from MU’s own backyard. Duncan Bindbeutel is a Columbia native who is well acquainted with the festival, having displayed various works of art over the years. This year, his new piece will be part crossword puzzle and part scavenger hunt, and participants will be guided through downtown Columbia by a map in order to complete a poetic verse.

True/False sets the stage with diverse lineup of musicians
When one thinks of True/False, documentaries most certainly come to mind. But some people ― especially T/F newbies ― may not know a lot about the musical side of the March festival.
This year, the festival’s 14th, is expected to have the most diverse lineup of musicians yet, according to True/False’s website. In addition to the live music prior to every film screening, concerts will be hosted every night of the festival.
With 50 acts scheduled to perform, there’s something to satisfy everyone’s taste in tunes.
Festival coordinator Donna Kozloskie told Vox Magazine in an interview that artists and films with similar characteristics will be paired, so the music before each film will complement it.
So for the music junkies out there, here is a concert guide for all things True/False. Brush up on the artists and procedure of purchasing tickets before the festival madness hits Columbia from March 2 to 5.

From The Maneater Sports Desk, everything you need to know about the week in sports, at Mizzou and beyond.

The Men’s Basketball team’s finish to the regular season was a very familiar one. The Tigers left Columbia with hopes of ending the long road loss woes, but returned with a 89-78 loss to Auburn. Mizzou ends the season with a record of 2-16 in conference play and 7-23 overall. Mizzou will play Auburn once again on Wednesday in the first round of the SEC Tournament at approximately 8:30 p.m.
Women’s Basketball represented well in SEC regular season awards
By Eli Lederman
Missouri women’s basketball had a big morning Tuesday as head coach Robin Pingeton, sophomore guard Sophie Cunningham and freshman guard Amber Smith all received conference honors for their performances this season.
Pingeton was named the Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year for leading the Tigers to an 21-9 record en route to a No. 3 seed in the SEC Tournament. She became the second coach in program history to receive Coach of the Year honors. Joann Rutherford, who coached the Tigers from from 1975 to 1998, was given the award three separate times, in 1984, 1985 and 1990.
This is Pingeton’s third time receiving Coach of the Year honors. She won the award in the Missouri Valley Conference in 2004 and 2010 while coaching at Illinois State.

Track and Field’s Schweizer and Kempfer shine at SEC Indoor Championships
By Matthew Hosler
Heading into the 2017 Southeastern Conference Indoor Track and Field Championship from Feb. 24-25, there was plenty of hope that the Missouri men’s and women’s teams would leave Saturday with medals. The two teams boasted some of the biggest names in the tournament, including junior Karissa Schweizer, redshirt sophomore Valerie Thames, senior LaQuisha Jackson, sophomore Kahmari Montgomery, redshirt senior Drew White and others.
Missouri, however, left with just three medals at the end of Saturday’s events, two of them belonging to Schweizer.
Schweizer began her dominant performance Friday with a gold medal in the 3,000-meter run. She won by more than two seconds to secure the victory, finishing in 9:18.32, 12 seconds off of her season high. Schweizer also ran a 4:45.33 to qualify for the final in the women’s 1,600-meter run on Saturday.
No. 15 Gymnastics earns third-highest score in program history against No. 18 Auburn
By Chelsea Roemer
No. 15 Missouri gymnastics defeated No. 18 Auburn 197.200-195.350, earning the team’s third-highest score in the program's history, at Hearnes Center on Friday.
The total team score is Missouri’s highest since the 2004 season, when the team scored the two highest totals in school history with a 197.425 and a 197.350. The Tigers also tied the program record for beam with a score of 49.325 and tied their third-best score on the bars with a 49.325.
“It's a great time of year to be doing this,” coach Shannon Welker said. “We're hitting the end of the season and heading into postseason. This is really what I believe they're capable of doing."

Preview: J’den Cox, Missouri wrestling look to make some noise at the MAC Championships
By Joe Noser and Langston Newsome
The Missouri wrestling team is full of anticipation and ready for revenge headed into the Mid-American Conference Championships in Cedar Falls, Iowa, this weekend.
The Tigers, who finished 7-1 in the MAC, suffered their only conference loss on Feb. 12 against Northern Iowa on Senior Night at Hearnes Center. Not only will the team be seeking its fifth straight MAC Championship and sixth straight conference championship overall on UNI’s home mat, where the MAC Championships will take place, but for redemption over the Panthers as well.
Coach Brian Smith said he’s raring to go and believes his team is as well.
“I’m just ready to go on the bus,” Smith said. “At this point, we are [ready] physically, mentally and all 100 percent [healthy] right now, which I haven’t been able to say all year.”
It’s been over two weeks since Mizzou’s last dual meet, which has allowed the team to rest and recuperate for championship season.
“It’s worked out [well],” Smith said. “We’ve had some great training [and] a lot of individual practices going on. A lot of confidence is coming back … it’s been a great week for the program.”
Five wrestlers claimed individual conference titles for the Tigers last season, and this year Mizzou enters the MAC Championships with five wrestlers ranked No. 1 in the conference in their respective weight classes.
