Pass:

The Flint water crisis has been on the forefront of the news as residents of Flint wait for the problem to be resolved. It is a crisis that would not seem to directly affect students at NIU, but there are those choosing to make a difference. The Black Student Union is holding a water drop-off for the crisis victims in Flint, MI. Students can bring in cases of water to Neptune Central from noon to 3 p.m. Wednesday and Friday, noon to 3 p.m. Thursday and Monday in the Diversions Lounge in the HSC, and noon to 9 p.m. everyday at the Center for Black Studies. The truck leaves for Flint on March 1. It is time for NIU to help those who really need it.

Fail:

DeKalb held another meeting on the new drafts of the unlawful assembly ordinances and there were only 15 community members in attendance according to a Northern Star article. The Feb. 2 meeting had a very large turn out, so it is shocking that this meeting had so few people. Students should want to have their voices heard. I hope there is more of a turn out at the regularly scheduled monthly meeting on March 1.
