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.

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.
