Warlocks, dinosaurs and Scooby-Doo, oh my! Channeling their Halloween spirit, the Northern Iowa Student Government (NISG) met in the University Room of Maucker Union clad in costumes on Wednesday, Oct. 27. In their 11th meeting of the semester, Speaker of the Senate Sam Caughron ushered the meeting in with reports from members of the executive branch and the NISG advisor. Not able highlights from these reports include the report given by Vice President Alissane Struck sharing her work helping to organize the Board of Regents visit on Nov. 4. Vice President Struck asked members for suggestions to

add to the agenda of items to be discussed during the visit alongside other work such as the establishment of Juneteenth as a recognized school holiday and the demolition of the Honors College and Alumni House buildings. Advisor Mike Bobelyk also gave a report centering around the renaming of the Office of Student Life to the newly minted Office of Student Involvement and the implications of this change. The student government members then arrived at their noncontroversial docket consisting of four items of legislation. The first three items were the appointment of three new at-large senators to bolster the ranks of the NISG. See NISG, page 2
