We’re back to warmth today, with a sunny high of 64 and a lukewarm low of 52. Missouri Students Association presidential slates Nathan Willett/Payton Englert (left), Josh Stockton/Shruti Gulati (center) and Tori Schafer/Riley de Leon (right) | Fiona Murphy/Staff Photographer 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.

Right: Recca/Davis: Courtesy of ReccaDavis2017.com Left: Davis/Richmond: Courtesy of Davis & Richmond Twitter 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.

The Academy Awards were started in 1929 by the studio head of what became Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to unite the film industry.

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.” The second MSA presidential debate was held Monday at The Shack The debate was held at 6 p.m. on Monday. The questions covered a range of topics, from mental health resources to criminal labor.

However, it does require forms to be filled out every week that record any donations or campaign spending of $100 or more.

Two years, no progress: Revisiting the University Village collapse On-campus child care and affordable university-sponsored housing options have long been demanded by graduate students. The conversation gained momentum when, two years ago, a walkway at the University Village student housing complex collapsed, killing Columbia firefighter Lt. Bruce Britt. On the anniversary of his death, we look at what progress has been made. Slate drops out of Residence Halls Association presidential election A little over a week after the slates for the upcoming RHA election were announced, one of the two slates dropped out. Voting is set to start March 2, but the RHA justices don’t want Matt Bourke and Martha Pangborn to win by default.

University of Missouri professor Melissa Stormont lays flowers on the steps of the Islamic Center of Central Missouri. | Lane Burdette/Photographer Local citizens hold solidarity march in Columbia in response to Trump's "Muslim ban" President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday that limits the immigration from seven majority Muslim countries. The rally started in Peace Park to stand with local Muslims. A representative of the Islamic Center of Central Missouri led about 200 people from the park to the mosque at the corner of Fifth and Locust streets, where they were greeted with cookies, snacks and juice. The marchers left their signs and flowers on the front steps of the mosque and then returned to Peace Park. CPD faces allegations of illegally recording client-attorney calls The complaint was filed against the Columbia Police Department by attorney Stephen Wyse on Jan. 23. Wyse filed the complaint after he read about a drunk driving case in the Columbia Daily Tribune, in which cops violated attorney-client privilege by covertly observing and recording the conversation. Federal law makes it illegal to intentionally intercept, disclose or use any wire, oral or electronic communication through the use of a “device,” and law enforcement officers may only wiretap a conversation in which one of the parties involved in the conversation has consented to the recording.

Eric Greitens withdrew two nominations from the UM Board of Curators, leaving five seats vacant As of the first meeting of the year, the Board of Curators will be down five members out of the usual total of nine members. Gov. Greitens has yet to make his own nominations to fill the open positions.

    Our Home Away From Home: Putting a Stop to College Campus Violence – Artifacts Journal - University of Missouri University of Missouri A Journal of Undergraduate Writing Our Home Away From Home: Putting a Stop to College Campus Violence Lauren Reagan When prospective students first tour the University of Missouri-Columbia’s campus, they are thinking about academic programs, Tiger football, and the incredible recreational center. The last thing that crosses a student’s mind is being in danger, and tour guides are not likely to mention campus violence. When parents bring up safety issues, the emergency call system and campus police force assures them, and the problems Mizzou faces with assault, rape and robbery can be ignored. In accordance with the Clery Act, the University of Missouri must send students emails every time a violent act occurs on campus (Evaluation of Green Dot 777). For most MU students, this is the first they hear of campus danger. Many factors such as gender roles, alcohol use and societal norms lead to violence on Mizzou’s campus. These crimes cause not only physical, but also emotional and mental damage to victims, and students are beginning to protest. The Maneater published an editorial urging students to take a stand against violence, and former MSA president, Xavier Billingsely, sent a mass email in November 2012 urging the same. Current university prevention programs are simply not producing enough results. It is time for students, faculty and community members to change how violence is addressed. http://artifactsjournal.missouri.edu/2013/05/our-home-away-from-home-putting-a-stop-to-college-campus-violence/[9/15/2014 1:13:04 PM] Our Home Away From Home: Putting a Stop to College Campus Violence – Artifacts Journal - University of Missouri College campuses can be a breeding ground for violence, and a place society expects to be a learning community can become extremely dangerous.

    On the occasion of the Mizzou Alumni Association’s sesquicentennial, the association asked a researcher to dig up its history. The story is one of loyal alumni and citizens acting on behalf of Mizzou. (Perhaps what says it best is the legend of how alumni and locals saw to it that the Columns became Mizzou’s foremost campus icon.) MU alumni and citizens gather at the base of the Columns in the days after a fi re that destroyed Academic Hall in 1892. Keep your hands off these Columns he Mizzou Alumni Association was founded in 1853, but perhaps the best story that encapsulates its meaning to MU comes from a tenuous time in the University’s history. It’s the story of loyal alumni Tand citizens acting on behalf of Mizzou and how the Alumni Association saw to it that the Columns became Mizzou’s foremost campus icon. The inferno that consumed Academic Hall in 1892 somehow spared the six limestone Columns. To many alumni and Columbians at the time, they quickly became an enduring symbol of all they held dear about the University. But to others, including the University’s Board of Curators, the Columns looked out of scale with the new University buildings they hoped to construct around them. They resolved that the Columns would have to come down. Few people now know – perhaps because it weakens the legend – that the board originally intended to leave the Columns in place or reposition them on campus. But the board changed its mind, and some alumni and locals didn’t like it.

Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons 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.
