Pass: DeKalb officer helps motorist with tire

A DeKalb police officer recently went out of his way to help a stranger with a flat tire and his good deed did not go unnoticed.

The officer did not have to change the motorist’s tire or drive them to go get a new one. The officer took time out of his day to make someone else’s day less stressful. Small acts of kindness like this are what create a strong and safe community. It is the small things that make a big difference in peoples’ day to day lives.

Fail: Confusing weather stresses out students

This unpredictable winter season is conducive to a steady cold.

With the holiday season over I no longer see any bright side to this weather. What makes it even worse is that the weather cannot seem to decide whether it wants to be winter or skip straight to spring.

During the semester this will become more of a problem in terms of travel time. Colder days most often means slower and more cramped bus rides. All I can say is good luck and I hope it improves.
