One of the recommenda-

hired Jamie Shutter, former

the University of Texas at

position.
The integration begins
with a single digital point

access point gives students
information about each cen-
ter and helps guide students
to where they need to go.
Students will also be
directed to the proper place
if they arrive at a location
that does not best serve
their needs.
“As we’re talking about a

also teaming that up with no

Eight student-filled build-

ed on 2900 Old Highway 63,
will also be under the MU
police’s jurisdiction. How-
ever, the lodge’s sidewalks,
parking lots and swimming

Columbia Police Chief
Geoff Jones said the level
of response will be based
on the nature of the call. As
an example, he mentioned
a call about an incident of
sexual assault. In that case,
the Columbia Police Depart-

and take the report.

the fall. The center typically
has an increase in demand
for mental health services
in late September/early
October, Shutter said.
Counseling Center
If students, faculty or
staff members are con-
cerned about a mental
health issue with a student,
they should refer the stu-
dent to the Counseling Cen-
ter, Shutter said.
The center offers services
such as skill-building work-
shops, group therapy, brief
individual therapy, referral
services and 24/7 crisis
support, according to their
website.
The Counseling Center is
at 119 Parker Hall.
Student Health Center
The Student Health Center
will continue to offer prima-
ry medical care, psychiatric
care and flu shots and other
immunizations.
The main change for the
center was moving the
behavioral health staff to
the Counseling Center, Shut-
ter said.
The staff will rotate shifts
at the Student Health Center
to maintain the behavior-
al health program, which
focuses on behavioral health
assessments. Access to
these providers requires
a referral from a primary
care physician.
“A lot of what they’re
doing in the fall semester
is similar to what they have
been doing,” Shutter said.
“There’s still going to be
primary care, there’s still
going to be psychiatry.”
The Student Health Cen-
ter is at 1020 Hitt St. on the
fourth floor.

During a City Council
meeting in early August,
Columbia Mayor Brian
Treece said when council
members voted on the bills,
the decision reflected an
extension of community
policing.
“As we talk about commu-
nity policing, for the univer-
sity campus, MUPD is their
community,” Treece said.
He said he had spoken
with representatives of the
Panhellenic Council, who
told him they liked the ser-
vice they had received from
the MU police.
Jones was in agreement
with Treece and said that
MU Police have more
resources available to deal
with student calls.
The changes will not
affect students differently
in terms of making a call
to the police. Students will
still be able to call 911, and
calls will be rerouted to the
correct department. Three-
one-one will also remain the
non-emergency number.
“We appreciate all the
work the Columbia Police
Department has done over
the years to patrol our
sororities and fraternities
and provide those student
with law enforcement ser-
vices,” MU Police Chief
Doug Schwandt said in a
news release.
Wellness Resource
Center
The Wellness Resource
Center is a “source for ongo-
ing activities that support
wellness as it relates to
issues such as fitness and
nutrition, stress-reduction,
alcohol and drug abuse, sui-
cide prevention and positive
fan behavior,” according to
its website.
Christy Hutton, the new
director of the Wellness
Resource Center, will be in
charge of the health edu-
cation and outreach staff,
Shutter said.
The health educator at
the Student Health Center
was moved to the resource
center to put all health
education staff under one
director, and two new health
educators were hired to join
the team.
The Wellness Resource
Center is on the bottom
floor of the MU Student
Center.
Student Health and
Well-Being is also in charge
of rolling out access to an
app available soon to stu-
dents called Sanvello. The
app gives “clinically validat-
ed” techniques to help deal
with issues such as stress,
anxiety and depression,
according to its website.
Any student, staff or
faculty member who has
missouri.edu in their email
will be able to download the

Shutter said.
MU spokeswoman Liz

word out about the changes
will be mainly informing

tal health services.

seamless,” McCune said.

time this semester, and we

well.”
Spike-ball tournament
Spike-ball is the sport of
round-net, also known as
yellow trampoline game. It
is played by two teams with
two people.
Four players start the
game around the trampoline.
They serve the ball down
onto the spike-ball net so
that it ricochets up at their
opponents.
The returning team has up
to three hits between them
to return the ball back onto
net. The rally continues until
a team can’t return the ball
on the net within their three
touches.
Salerno said spike-ball is
becoming more popular, so
the center decided to offer
the tournament in the sand.
Participants can apply
from Aug. 25 to Sept. 5 to
join the tournament. The
entry fee per team is $29
and the competition will be

held Sept. 15 at the A.L. Gus-
tin Golf Course, 18 Stadium

son is $45, and applications
can be submitted from Aug.
25 to Sept. 5.
Participants must have
their own golf equipment for
the competition, which will
start at 10 a.m. and run until
about 8 p.m.
The tournament will not

be separated into men’s and

combined to allow for great-

tition for all, according to
Mizzou Rec website.
“We will be able to accom-
modate 36 pairings, so we’re
hoping that we will get up
to 72 participants,” Salerno
said.
She said the center will
decide whether to offer it

Salerno also said a Mizzou-
Rec mobile application was
released this summer.
She said students can
make reservations for rac-

the app, make reservations
for the Tiger X classes and
find out more about the rec
programs through the app.
“This is probably like a

Salerno said.

SEC FOOTBALL

Is there any way that

Alabama can be dethroned?
By Tom Coulter
news@columbiamissourian.com

A
s has been tradition every
preseason for the past decade
or so in the SEC, football
fans and pundits are looking around
the conference asking themselves
the same old question: Who can
dethrone Alabama and Nick Saban?
The Crimson Tide, winners of
four of the last five conference
championships and two of the last
four national championships, are
the powerhouse of the SEC, yet
more teams this year are poised
as serious challengers to Alabama,
which will be led by quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa.
But which team might actually do
it?
Georgia is the clear first answer.
After barely losing to the Crimson
Tide in the 2018 College Football
Playoff national championship, the
Bulldogs came up short again last
year, losing to Alabama in the SEC
championship game.
The sting from those losses will
provide extra motivation for the 12
starters returning for the Bulldogs
and Head Coach Kirby Smart, who
has done a terrific job recruiting
the last few years.

Returning students who decided

“Residential Life has always had

She said parking on the core

MU campus has seen
major construction
over the summer
By Lauren Tronstad
news@columbiamissourian.com
T
he university campus has seen a lot of
significant construction since the start
of the summer, with two of three new
buildings set to be completed this fall.
School of Music Building
The new building for the MU School of
Music will bring together offices and class-
rooms that had been scattered among six dif-
ferent buildings on campus.
Workers started construction on the
three-story building after a groundbreaking
ceremony in April 2018, and the building is
scheduled to open for the fall semester.
The facility will nearly double the amount
of space that is available to students, staff and
faculty, according to a release.
It was funded by donations, which included a
$10 million gift from Rex and Jeanne Sinque-
field and the Sinquefield Charitable Founda-
tion. The entire project cost $24 million.
NextGen Precision Health Institute
After breaking ground on June 21, the new
health institute, which is funded by $220.8 mil-
lion of private and corportate support, began
construction.
The initiative is designed to accelerate med-
ical breakthroughs for patients in Missouri
and beyond, according to a report from the
university. Students from every UM campus
will have the ability to learn side-by-side with
leading researchers in their field.
“Missouri’s flagship university — home to
the nation’s most powerful research reactor
and 13 schools and colleges across the arts,
sciences and humanities — is excited and
poised to bring our comprehensive breadth of
expertise across disciplines to this innovative
research facility,” Chancellor Alexander Cart-
wright said at the groundbreaking ceremony.
The facility is designed to be a five-story
building with about a 265,000 square feet that
will allow for 60 principal investigators.
It will be located near University Hospital
at the northwest corner of Hospital Drive and
Virginia Avenue.
Donations included $10 million from the
state. Expected completion date is October
2021, according to the report.
Center for Missouri Studies
The new Center for Missouri Studies held a
grand opening celebration Aug. 10 at Sixth and
Elm streets.
Here are highlights of the new building:

A construction worker cleans wet concrete off his boots while helping to set sidewalk cement outside the new State Historical Society of Missouri Center for Missouri Studies. The building opened on Aug. 10 and will provide a place for research and preservation of the State

Road signs along Virginia Avenue signal construction work on the southern edge of campus. MU’s campus is currently working on four
major construction projects and the city of Columbia is repairing several roads around town.
■■ The research center is three times as big as
it was in the Ellis Library facility.
■■ The new space more than doubles that of
the current gallery, which can only hold a quar-
ter of 1% of the collection.
■■ The new building can store twice as many
personal papers, photographs, oral histories, let-
ters, diaries and journals.
■■ With 76,000 feet of space, it can also stage
multiple public events, including films, work-
shops, lectures and receptions.
The artwork, manuscripts, newspapers and
books preserved there will help continue to
tell Missouri’s historical story, according to
the organization’s site.
“The center will be a visionary space where
Missourians of all backgrounds can discov-
er our complex cultural roots and come to a
deeper understanding of what it means to be
a Missourian,” said Stephen Limbaugh, past
president of The State Historical Society of
Missouri in a news release.
This new headquarters for the Historical
Society has been in the works for more than
a decade. It was a dream for years before the
legislature approved funding in 2015. Ground
was broken in April 2017.

Some tips for buying

textbooks at The Mizzou Store
By Ingyun Jeong
news@columbiamissourian.com

A
long line of students standing
at the MU bookstore to buy
textbooks forms at the begin-
ning of each semester. Students
usually spend from 30 minutes to
an hour in the store waiting to buy
textbooks.
Dale Sanders, the interim director
for The Mizzou Store, has worked
there for 15 years and gave stu-
dents some tips for buying books
fast at low prices.
He said it is most important to
decide when to go to a bookstore
and recommended avoiding buying
books just before the beginning of
the semester.
“We really start to get busier that
week before classes,” Sanders said.
“But then the weekend right before
classes start is when it gets really
busy and then we’ll stay busy for
about a week at that point, and then
it dies off pretty fast.”
He said if students showed up at
5 p.m. during the weekdays, the
store would be pretty slow at that
point. Student could come in, get
their books and go check out. There

The new building opened its

that 198 years ago Missouri
officially reached its state-
hood. Its headquarters had
been located in Ellis Library,
but the contemporary location
will allow for almost 49,000
square feet of expansion.
“We’re very excited for
students to come and visit,
whether it’s part of a class
or whether they come to
explore the art gallery or to
do research,” said Maggie
Mayhan, the society’s assis-
tant director for community
engagement.

three-story limestone build-

glass double-doors on the
north entrance lead to a park-

The company’s new location is sched-

Co-founders Tyson Hunt and Andrew
Sharp said the new location in north Colum-
bia will offer an opportunity for the compa-
ny’s brewers to experiment with sour beers
and hard ciders.
The location will also have a small room
for hosting private events, tastings and edu-
cational seminars.
“(The brewers) are smart and excited
to have a little playground to be artists,”
Sharp said.
Logboat has become ubiquitous in
mid-Missouri since the brewery opened
in 2014. Currently, the company produces
almost 300,000 gallons of beer annually,
which is distributed in 37 counties across
the state.
Snapper, an Indian pale ale described on
Logboat’s website as “fruity” with “resin-
ous, piney notes,” is the brewery’s best-sell-
ing beer.
Inside the new 8,500-square-foot facility,
two stainless steel tanks, which hold rough-
ly 930 gallons, will be used to craft new
beers. The facility will also house a foeder
(pronounced food-er), which is a large oak
cask used for aging beers.
Hunt said they have been interested in
producing sour beers since the company’s
vor is the introduction of wild yeast strains
or bacteria. While those agents are wel-
come in a gose or American wild ale, they
can run rampant in a brewery and contami-
nate more traditional ales and lagers.
“With sour beers, you introduce bacteria
and let it do its thing, which gives it the
sour taste, but the idea of those bugs float-
ing around the air contaminating our clean
beer, it was something we couldn’t risk,”
Hunt said.
The new facility offers an isolated envi-
ronment to experiment on a small scale
with sour beers, which also take much lon-
ger than traditional beers to ferment, Hunt
said.
The brewers also want to try their hand
at crafting ciders and gluten-free beers.
Hunt said the company’s third founder, Jud-
son Ball, learned last year he was allergic
to wheat and barley.
“He owns a brewery and can’t drink the
beer,” Hunt said.
Hunt and Sharp envision partnering with
local chefs to create one-off beers for their
restaurants.
Any brews that are particularly popular
could go into wider production at the com-
pany’s large brewery on Fay Street.
Overall, Hunt and Sharp said the
response to the company’s plans have been
positive.
“To make a small batch of beer with our
friends – it will be a lot of fun,” Hunt said.

Hands-on training and

Agriculture Park

A
fter years of planning and fund-
raising, Columbia celebrated the
grand opening this summer of
Agriculture Park, a space dedicated to
connecting the community’s residents
with agriculture.
Agriculture Park, located near the
Activity & Recreation Center at Clary-
Sky Community Park, was created
through a public-private partnership
called “Friends of the Farm.”
The partnership raised the majority
of the money for the park’s creation
through a fundraising campaign that

began in 2015.
A portion of the park’s construction
was also funded by the parks sales
tax, which was approved the same
year fundraising began.
The city celebrated the completion
of the project’s first phase of con-
struction, which includes the MU
Healthcare Pavilion, a parking lot,
playground and walking trail, with a
July 13 dedication ceremony.
The Columbia Farmer’s Market relo-
cated to the pavilion this summer.
Adam Saunders, development direc-
tor for the Columbia Center for Urban
Agriculture, said the market provided
students a place to purchase fresh
food and connect to the wider Colum-

bia community.
The center also organizes hands-on
programming at the park to help res-
idents learn about plants, gardening,
nutrition and more, Saunders said.
Volunteer opportunities to help with
the center’s gardens are also available
for individual or groups of students.
As funding allows, the city will
begin the second phase of construc-
tion, which would add more stalls to
the pavilion, an event center, a kitchen
and additional parking.
The “Friends of the Farm” partner-
ship includes the Columbia Center for
Urban Agriculture, Columbia Farm-
er’s Market, Sustainable Farms &
Communities and MU Health Care.

T

After the city’s approval of
the bocce courts construction
last July, Columbia Parks
and Recreation finally held
a grand opening earlier this
summer.
Each court features a
13-by-91-foot surface made of
crushed oyster shells.
Mike Griggs, director of
Parks and Recreation, said the
material was recommended
by bocce players from the
Special Olympics program in
Columbia, as well as players in
other cities where the sport is
practiced.

lawn bowling, is one of the old-
est yard games and also one of
the most widely played games
in the world.
It can be played by two
teams of singles, doubles or
triples or even foursomes by
rolling the bocce balls as close
as they can to the pallina — a
smaller target ball, according
to United States Bocce Feder-
ation.
The sport is loved by people
of all ages and is easy for peo-
ple of all ages to understand
and play.
The bocce team of the
Special Olympics program in
Columbia has been using the
new courts for practice on a
weekly basis. They meet every
Wednesday from 6 to 7 p.m.
Jessica Sida, who manages
the program, said the team
has been impressed by the
new bocce courts and can
at MU’s Stankwoski Field and
would have to switch up their
practice methods to accommo-
date the different surface.
“It is surprisingly a popular
sport,” Sida said.
She now has 25 athletes in
her program — the youngest
is 12 years old, and the oldest
is in her 60s.
Griggs said the construction
of bocce courts had been pur-
sued by Columbia locals, espe-
cially the Special Olympics
team, for over 10 years.
The city took time to find
a prime location and finally
found it at Cosmo Park, the
largest municipal park in
Columbia.
It is placed right off the
highway, so it also attracts
visitors who come in to play,
Griggs said.
The bocce courts are ADA
friendly and open to the public.

The Missouri Tigers celebrate their senior night and Battle Line Rivalry game The Missouri Tigers celebrate senior
night and the Battle Line Rivalry game win over the Arkansas Razorbacks on in November 2018 in Columbia.
Who do we hate:
the modern
Missouri rivalry
By Quinn Malloy
news@columbiamissourian.com
T
he rivalry between the
University of Missouri
and University of Kan-
sas was the stuff of legend.
For over 100 years, athlet-
ic programs from the two
schools met annually in a
bitter battle for bragging
rights. Many believe the
animosity between the two
Midwestern flagship uni-
versities harkens back to
the 1850s, when border skir-
mishes between citizens of
the two states claimed the
lives of many.
Annual meetings between
the rivals came to a close in
2012, when the University of
Missouri transferred to the
Southeastern Conference,
or SEC. Narrative-weav-
ing journalists sprung into
action, quickly identifying
the University of Arkansas
as Missouri’s natural new
rival.
But has there been a his-

Field at Memorial Stadium.

tory of hostility between the
two schools?
Well, not really.
The two football programs
met a grand total of five
times prior to MU’s move
to the SEC. Two of those
meetings — 2003 and 2008
— were bowl games. The
Razorbacks defeated the
Tigers in the 2003 Inde-
pendence Bowl; the Tigers
defeated the Razorbacks in
the 2008 Cotton Bowl. The
games weren’t particular-
ly close, and the length of
time between them further
stymied the build-up of bad
blood.
Things have picked up
a bit since the SEC move,
though.
The day after Thanksgiv-
ing 2014, the Razorbacks
came into Columbia hop-
ing to stall the #17 Tigers’
march towards an SEC
East title. Missouri, 10-2,
was having an exceptional
season under Gary Pinkel
and sophomore quarter-
back Maty Mauk. Hopes
DEREK RIEKE/Missourian/File
of clinching the SEC East
title were waning for fans
at Faurot Field when the
Tigers trailed Arkansas
14-6 at the end of the 3rd
quarter. Missouri would
rally, though, scoring on a
Maty Mauk touchdown pass
and Marcus Murphy touch-
down run. The Tigers won
21-14, and clinched the SEC
East title in front of their
home fans.
Rivalries are built on
meaningful moments, and
the title-clinching game
in 2014 will have to be the
first of many such moments
if the Battle Line Rivalry
is going to grow into some-
thing special.
Missouri-Arkansas may
never match Missouri-Kan-
sas in terms of intensity,
but as the football teams
prepare for the 2019 season,
there is more reason than
ever to tune in and watch
the development of Missou-
ri’s fledgling-but-fascinating
SEC rivalry.
