Last semester, MCSG proposed a book plan that calls for the cost of books to be included in tuition, so the moment students set foot on campus they would have already bought their books. This would make book-buying more convenient by effectively forcing students to use the bookstore instead of going to outside sources for better deals.

On the evening of Tuesday, February 5, Minnesotans will attend their precinct caucuses. That night, DFLers won't just be choosing the next President of the United States; they'll be choosing the next Senator from our state.

Just about three in four Macalester students hail from outside Minnesota, so perhaps we as a student body can be forgiven for our ambivalence toward local politics.
