'The nomadic museum': MU Museum of Art and Archaeology settles in Ellis Library basement
In a long hallway beneath Ellis Library, behind a set of industrial doors, lies a world of antiquity in construction. Dan Eck, director of MU’s Museum of Art and Archaeology, moves through the basement galleries. Warm yellow lights hang low from the ceiling, casting his shadow against newly painted walls. He weaves from one gallery to another: from the West Gallery, which is cluttered with crates and foam, to the Weinberg Gallery of Antiquities, which is lined on two sides with bright glass cases.

Columbia's chilling Halloween weekend
This past weekend, the weather took a chilly turn as cold and persistent rain showers dampened the mid-Missouri area. Temperatures fell into the low 40s and upper 30s on Sunday, leaving many reaching for their winter coats and umbrellas. The dreary conditions proved challenging for outdoor plans, with Columbia staples such as Stephens Lake Park left barren and empty. Those who ventured outside found themselves braving soggy sidewalks, wet roads and subpar driving conditions.
A cold drizzle covers the sidewalk on Sunday at Stephens Lake Park in Columbia.

Tolton comes from behind to secure win over Hickman
Brothers Steven and Austin Becvar led Tolton to a 2-1 victory over Hickman on Monday at Hickman. The duo both scored and were crucial to all of the Trailblazers' attacks. It was a sluggish start to the contest as the crosstown rivals could not quite get their offenses started. Both teams struggled to keep possession of the ball, which resulted in turnovers and a sloppy opening 25 minutes.
Still a bit more than Mevis Original
With only three seconds remaining against then-No. 15 Kansas State on Saturday, Missouri kicker Harrison Mevis lined up for a 61-yard field goal. When the kick split the uprights, Mevis secured the program’s biggest home victory in a decade and wrote his name in the history books. The 61-yard boot set the Southeastern Conference record for longest converted field goal. However, it was not Missouri’s record.
