Commission. Whiting ran for the office of NISG president last year with Aaron Friel, opposed by Hunter Flesch and Avery Johnson. According to Whiting, a lot of the amendments to the rules stemmed from allegations and actions taken by both tickets in last year’s presidential campaign. “If it doesn’t blatantly say it’s against the rules, technically you can do it,” Whiting said. “Going back […] we started to close down those things that did happen last year.” According to Benjamin Dzaboff, the chair of the Election Commission and associate justice of the NISG Supreme Court, one of the revisions the Supreme Court worked on extensively was clarifying the difference between the Supreme Court and the Election Commission. The Supreme Court and the Election Commission are

Brings rules review two separate entities according to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and junior political science major Maggie Miller. Dzaboff said that unifying the wording between the Election Commission and the Supreme Court provides a lot of clarity for the role each serves in respect to the election. “We added a clause about delaying election results because last year [the Supreme Court] debated for five hours,” Dzaboff said. “So we added, in [the election rules], that if there was a discrepancy that we can reserve two more hours or something to figure it out.” Whiting explained that the reason the debate took so long last year is because the sanctions that were being considered for his ticket were not included in the election rules.

New ‘digs’ in Schindler SYDNEY HAUER Staff Writer

Schindigs, the brand new cafe in the newly-renovated Schindler Education Center offers a unique variety of foods and beverages not previously available to students on campus. Schindigs is UNI’s newest dining addition on campus. It opened for business on Monday, Jan. 23, on the Schindler Education Center’s main floor.

It will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, and on Fridays from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The cafe currently offers a variety of new items, including build-yourown grain bowls, items to grab and go – such as yogurt parfaits – and Sidecar coffee and espresso drinks. “When it was determined that Schindler was going to be renovated and refreshed, that was a good opportunity to put something more than just a cart

in that space,” said Janet Paul, director of dining services. Schindler previously offered the apple cart, which was only open for a few hours over lunch and served limited grab and go items. Paul said that when they came up with the idea for the grain bowls, they wanted something that would be healthy but also taste good. The buildyour-own grain bowls will be the main entree at Schindigs. See SCHINDIGS, page 4
