Pass: Warm weather to arrive in DeKalb

There is a high of 72 degrees today and I can finally feel spring coming to DeKalb.

The warm temperature and the sun will sure be a benefit to students starting up school.

The snow can melt, the sun will be out and you’ll probably see people in shorts. Although the temperature is supposed to drop within the next few days, it’s a pleasant knowing the people of DeKalb can look forward to weather that is finally above freezing. There’s a slight chance of snow during the end of the week, but the temperature is supposed to be in the 50s by the weekend.

Soak all the sun and warmth in, DeKalb. Spring is just around the corner and summer will be here before we know it.

Fail: SA called meeting off, gave no reason

The Student Association Senate chose not to have its meeting Sunday. That wasn’t a very smart move since executive elections are coming up.

The SA is the voice of the student body and the Senate is supposed to meet Sundays. After not having a meeting on March 8 and with executive elections coming up on March 24, not having a meeting Sunday was not the right move at this time.

The SA Senate should also be more transparent if it is going to decide not to have a meeting. There is no announcement online — or anywhere — explaining why the SA decided to not have a meeting Sunday. If the SA is going to choose not to have a meeting, the senators should at least let the students know why.
