ASWSU decides new executive appointees will serve as interim deputy directors

lhe ASWSU Judicial Board decided to allow two members on its executive staff without senate confirmation during its Wednesday meeting, a decision that came after a bylaws hearing on Jan. 31. The hearing examined if appointing Jajuan Jackson and Eric Martinez to the executive staff was constitutional even though they both were

not confirmed by the senate, according to an Evergreen article. Associate Justice Isabella Spayd said rescinding a resignation will not be allowed under the constitution and bylaws. The board recommends both Jackson and Martinez to serve as interim deputy directors of communication until the senate confirms them. “So moving forward, the rescission of resignations will not be allowed,” ASWSU Senator Hannah Martian said, “but it is being allowed in this case?” Spayd said the board decided to have Jackson and Martinez as interim deputy directors to ac-
commodate the executive staff’s shortage in the communications team. “We have said that we’re not going to allow rescissions,” Spayd said. “In order to have this remedy, we’re allowing this as a one-time fix.” The senate also voted against a proposal to add a third deputy director of communication. Grace Hendrickson, chief of staff and finance, said they would allocate $1,600 of executive staff stipends for the proposed position. Having three deputies could make the communications team more effective, Hendrickson said. See ASWSU Page 11
Reshaping stream structure to improve habitats
Palouse Conservation District details restoration techniques, need for stream complexity By Loren Negron Evergreen reporter
By Jared Bradley Evergreen reporter
Pullman Transit will be offering reduced hours Community Service for most bus routes this upcoming Monday because of Presidents Day. “On Saturday and Sunday, it will be a normal weekend,” said Tony Tompos of Pullman Transit. “On Monday, we will be running our reduced hours, which is our usual for the summer, winter, and other school breaks.” The bus routes which will be running include Loop, Paradise, Silver, and Blue from 6:30 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. Community Express will also be running during this time.
The Palouse Conservation District (PCD) held a presentation about stream structure on Wednesday in the Paradise Creek Brewery Trailside Taproom. Randy Stevens, PCD conservation coordinator, said changing stream structure can produce diverse habitats, which can help address drought and flooding. He said reshaping stream structure can restore riparian zones, which are areas near streams, to healthy conditions. This can be done in various ways, one of which being streambank bioengineering, Stevens said. This process includes using live and dead plant materials with natural and synthetic support materials. Streambank bioengineering helps control the stream’s behavior. Stevens said using post-assisted log structures (PALS) can also change stream structure. This is a type of restoration technique where wood debris is planted

Sociologists examine rural justice system
ARIELLE ARGEL | The Daily EveRgreen
Sociology associate professor Jennifer Sherman explains how she will be conducting research on rural areas Wednesday at Wilson-Short Hall. Sherman is partnering with professor Jennifer Schwartz.
Project will be around 15-months long; will be working with, collecting data from jails, law enforcement, justice systems By Lauren Ellenbecker Evergreen reporter
WSU sociologists are examining ways to reduce rising incarceration rates in rural areas as a part of grant-funded research project. Sociology professor Jennifer Schwartz and asso-
ciate professor Jennifer Sherman will speak to people working in rural jails, law enforcement and other parts of rural justice systems. They will also collect data in those areas. “This project has a lot of potential to positively impact people’s lives,” Sherman said. The Vera Institute of Justice, a nonprofit national research organization, awarded the professors a $200,000 grant to look at rural justice systems. The project is set to be around 15 months long but may
be extended. Schwartz and Sherman are currently reaching out to local partners and building trust among them, Sherman said. They are going through review board processes and figuring out the logistics of their research. They plan to send a qualitative team to the communities so they can acquire data in the summer. They hope to develop solutions tailored to the needs of rural communities from the project’s results, Schwartz said. Jail and prison reforms created in western Washington do not acknowledge rural needs, she said. There is an imbalance in resources that flow to the west, while eastern Washington’s problems are not effectively addressed, Schwartz said. One of the aims of the project is to make recommendations for policy changes, as well as give those in rural Washington a voice to address their specific needs, Sherman said. Researchers also want to find ways to disrupt the system where it is easy for people to fall into jail or prison, but harder to get out. the first place, we’ve got less of a strain on the justice system in these small communities,” Sherman said. Both Sherman and Schwartz have different areas of expertise in past research and methodologies. Sherman is a qualitative sociologist who focuses on poverty and rural communities. Schwartz focuses on numerical data and is knowledgeable in criminology. Sherman and Marisa Cervantes, a WSU graduate student, will interview justice-involved individuals, do courtroom watching and ethnographic observation. By doing so, researchers will witness what people’s lives look like, how they engage with the justice system and what kinds of issues they face, Sherman said. Schwartz will try to find trends in jail growth and trace how people filter through jail on a quantitative level. The data will help identify what common issues rural communities face on a macro-level. Overall, this research will help local partners think about why they are incarcerating people, what their aim is in doing so and how they can do it more justly, she said.
Faculty candidate talks about particles Fractons can be applied to quantum computers, improve banking computers, computer simulations; could develop life-saving drugs By Sylena Harper Evergreen reporter
Michael Pretko, WSU faculty candidate for theoretical physics, spoke about particles called fractons on Tuesday during the Physics and Astronomy’s colloquium. A fracton is a new type of particle which could be applied to building quantum computers, Pretko said. Pretko said a fracton’s movement could be used to store information which would be better than most current computers. Fractons could improve banking protection and computer simulations. Improving computer simulations would aid in a wide variety of research including the development of new life-saving drugs, he said. Classical computers are limited to searching for solutions independently of one another, but fractons have the potential to improve machine-based problem solving, he said. “[Quantum computers] can sort of be simultaneously searching for all sorts of different solutions to a problem at the same time,” Pretko said. Fractons remain locked in place, unable to move without the presence of other fractons, he said. Sean Mossman, postdoctoral research associate, attended the colloquium on fractons Tuesday. Mossman said the colloquium audience often consists not only of people in the physics department but also people studying mathematics and engineering. Graduate students can recommend colloquium speakers. The physics department designates a spot in the schedule to include speakers
who are underrepresented in physics and astronomy, he said. “These colloquia are great for growing our network as scientists,” Mossman said. The main goal for these colloquia is to foster the collaboration of ideas and present students with the opportunity to learn new topics that they can not learn within the department, he said. Brian Saam, physics department chair and professor, said speakers who present during these colloquia exchange ideas that help researchers collaborate. Bringing in speakers from outside of WSU prevents the department from being too nearsighted and inward-focused. New ideas move into the department when outside physicists bring in different perspectives and give these talks, he said. “We have the goal of bringing in a broader audience and communicating the science … on a broader scale,” Saam said. The department uses colloquia to recruit faculty candidates and provide a platform for physicists outside of WSU to share their work, he said. “They’re adding a special twist to our 100 anniversary by also incorporating some stories and some historical elements about the history of the department,” Saam said. Marc Weber, WSU faculty member, gave a talk on Jan. 30 about anti-matter. Weber’s long-term mentor, Kelvin Lynn, passed away a month ago and he wanted to honor his mentor’s contribution to anti-matter positron research, he said. Weber and Lynn’s field of study did

Colloquium attendees include people from the physics department, and math department. The colloquiums help scientists share their research with others. not exist until around 1928, he said. Broad audiences in physics were not aware of the implications of Einstein’s theory of relativity, he said. “Sometimes we get stuck in our everyday activities and challenges or problems and we don’t really see that there’s progress being made,” Weber said Philip Marston, WSU physics professor, is presenting on acoustical, optical and fluid wave physics later this month. Marston said that he is going to explain the thread that connects work in his field from the past to the present during his talk on Feb. 27. “There is some value in kind of re-
flecting on a sequence of work and seeing how things are connected,” Marston said. “When I’m able to go to the panel colloquium, I listen for things that might be useful to bring up in class,” he said. Bringing new material to the classroom can help students see how course objectives relate to their fields of interest, Marston said. People outside of the physics department can find appreciation in the anniversary talks and will walk away with a better understanding of how various lines of work have connected over the span of several decades, he said.

ookshelves line the room in Donna Potts’s office in Avery Hall. Mementos from former students are within an arm’s reach, and photos from a research project-in-progress sit stacked on a filing cabinet. Potts is a professor and the chair of the English department, yet she still finds time to dive into her own creative projects, her favorite of which is a book of poetry she wrote called “Waking Dreams.” “I think through the process of writing it, I was coming to terms with mzy dad’s suicide,” Potts said. “I think that kind of creative writing allowed me to process it in a way that none of my scholarly writing has.” Potts focuses on Irish literature and poetry in her scholarly writing, sometimes with an environmental emphasis, she said. Her love of Ireland developed when she read William Butler Yeats as an undergraduate, Potts
said. She lived in Ireland once as a research fellow and a second time as a visiting lecturer. “I love the Palouse,” Potts said. “I’m reminded of Ireland when I look out on the hills.” Potts and her husband were professors at Kansas State University for 23 years before they moved their family to Washington state in 2013. Her husband is also a department chair at WSU, but of the department of mathematics and statistics. When it comes to her role as chair, Potts said her favorite thing is advocating for her faculty and staff. Potts said she thinks she brings a personal touch to teaching. “I can’t help but do this,” she said. “I do tend to think of [my students] as my children. I find myself sharing stories that they can relate to.” Sara Quenzer, a senior double-majoring in English creative writing and journalism and media production, said she has taken three classes with Potts and works with her at WSU’s literary journal, LandEscapes. Quenzer said Potts’s teaching style reminds

her of professors in old movies: jumping right in and usually not using any visual aids. Even though it took getting used to, she said Potts is an involved and caring professor. “She’s been super helpful in terms of being a professor who actually cares about their students’ mental health and wellbeing,” Quenzer said. “She’s always been willing to share her own experiences so I feel comfortable sharing my own.” Potts said failure is a test of greatness and she remembers students more for their positive contributions to her class than what grade they had. “That part doesn’t matter,” she said, “it’s if they have passion about learning.”
‘Food for Fines’ feeds families on the Palouse
Library program helps patrons waive fees, donations fill need gap By Haydyn Wallender Evergreen reporter
It’s February, which means that love is in the air. Here on the Palouse, Whitman County Library has begun to send love to families with the annual Food for Fines drive. Catalina Flores organizes the Food for Fines drive held every February. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the organization, Flores said. Residents can donate at any of the Whitman County library branches. Each library will have a donation spot where non-perishable items such as canned goods, peanut butter, mac n’ cheese, dry pasta and other items can be donated. Toiletries are also accepted. A person can donate in exchange for a waived library fee of up to $10. No more than $10 will be waived, Flores said. However, people don’t need a fine to donate. “We welcome everyone to donate,” Flores said. “It’s a good cause, and it goes back to the community.” Items that are donated in the libraries will be sent to local food banks to help local families, rather than being pooled all in one place. Last year alone brought in more than $700 in food, Flores said. “There were about 96 participants [in 2019],” Flores said. “The year before that, there were 30.” Paige Collins has been the executive director at the Council on Aging & Human Services in Colfax for about five years. Originally she worked in Seattle at a large food bank, and recognizes the importance of anticipating the needs of families. “[Food for Fines] comes at a time when no one else is doing food drives,” Collins said. “It is perfect timing. It touches a lot of families.”

Valentine guide to flowers

lowers are one of the most common gifts on Valentine’s Day, but choosing the right blooms to suit your boo can be a challenge. Chris Chandler, special projects manager at Neill’s Flowers and Gifts, said red roses are the classic choice for Valentine’s Day, but other flowers can look beautiful and show different sentiments. “Carnations … last for a very long time and have a very nice fragrance to them,” Chandler said. “Daisies
last for a very long time as well, plus they’re kind of bright when it’s gloomy outside.” Chandler said the colors of flowers often hold more meaning than the flowers themselves. “People stick a lot of meaning of their own with the flowers,” he said. Red symbolizes love and romance, while yellow symbolizes friendship. White on its own can mean purity or innocence, but when paired with red it says ‘I think we’re a good match,’ Chandler said. Other colors, like orange, lavender
and pink can be more ambiguous. “Orange, some people say is like ‘we’re meant to be together,’” he said. “There’s so many different meanings of those ones that people have attached to them. They don’t really have a set ‘this is what it is,’ kind of like everything else.” Caitlin Madden, vice president of WSU Horticulture Club, said she likes the idea of giving potted plants, like succulents, because they last longer than cut flowers. “I feel like it’s symbolic in a sense,” Madden said. “It’s not just going to last that week.” Madden also said ruffled carnations are fun and can be a good op-
tion for Valentine’s Day. When arranging flowers, Chandler recommended choosing ones that will be balanced in height and color. The arrangement in a bouquet should be either completely symmetrical or completely asymmetrical, he said. “When it comes down to it, it’s art … if it looks good to you, it’s perfect,” Chandler said. “Some people pick things out of the cooler for themselves that I had never put together, but it makes them the happiest thing in the world.” Chandler’s best advice for buying flowers for a significant other is See FLOWERS Page 9
New York Fashion Week review Designers small and large that made their mark on the industry last week
By Olga Berezyuk Evergreen columnist
natalie blake | daily evergreen illustration
“My favorite Fall 2020 collection was by Carolina Herrera. Her collection was minimalistic in design yet powerful in color.”
New York Fashion Week took our breath away and set the standard for the three remaining “Big Four” — London, Milan and Paris. Some new designers that took part in the New York Fashion week include Fe Noel, Sukeina, Collina Strada, Sandy Liang and Private Policy. As Raquel Laneri wrote in her story for the New York Post, these five are the most notable new brands making a mark in the fashion industry. Unsurprisingly, all five are based out of New York. New York brand participation has grown every year since New York City mayor Bill de Blasio tripled the support for Made in NY: Fashion initiatives in 2015. My favorite Fall 2020 collection was by Carolina Herrera. Her col-
lection was minimalistic in design yet powerful in color. The line went from sheer white to bold colors of blood-red, neon pink and orange, to softer colors including baby blue, yellow and tan. I felt a sense of modesty in this line. Many of the dresses and pantsuits were either calf-, ankle- or floor-length, adding to the aesthetic. The modesty was tastefully broken up with elements of deep V-necks, open backs and off-theshoulder sleeves. Most of the looks featured long sleeves, which are perfect for chilly autumn days. What I found most interesting was that, despite being a fall/ winter line, many of the designs had floral prints incorporated. It makes me wonder if it’s to reach people on a psychological level of not wanting to let go of summer. Overall the line seemed simple yet elegant. Many of the models wore flat lace-up brogues. Accessories were not included in the collection; the apparel itself was the main focus. Jonathan Simkhai, a designer of See NYFW Page 9

The cupcakes are stuffed with pink frosting, then frosted, drizzled and topped with candies.
Typically I’ll look around until I find the perfect recipe for the occasion, but I had a box of red velvet cake mix in my cupboard and I really needed something to do with it. It took me a bit of thinking to figure out what I wanted to do with that cake mix — how I would make it unique and Valentine-themed without being cheesy, or cute without being too sweet. I tossed around the idea of lemon curd or cranberry filling, or a raspberry buttercream frosting. Then I decided to go with a classic. I used a cream cheese frosting recipe I found from Allrecipes to frost the cupcakes and fill them.
The recipe makes enough frosting for 12 cupcakes, so I doubled it to match the number of cupcakes the box mix gave me. I used food coloring to dye the frosting pink. Note: it takes way less food coloring than you think it will. Make the frosting while the cupcakes are baking to save time, or you can wait until they’re out of the oven and cooling down. The frosting doesn’t take much time if you’ve softened the ingredients beforehand. There’s a good red velvet cupcake recipe from Cleobuttera if you prefer from-scratch. Note: if you’re going to use box mix, absolutely do not put it in for the temperature and time it recommends. My box said 14-19 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit, so I did that and 35 minutes later they were done. Without removing any of the dough, I used a piping bag to fill the cupcakes with frosting until See RECIPE Page 9

Cheap wine reviews If you’re balling on a budget this Valentine’s Day, we did the leg work on which wines to buy
By Bruce Mulmat Evergreen columnist
Natlaie blake | daily evergreen illustration
“I suggest you throw out a few extra dollars and get something you’ll both enjoy .... Also, make sure you always have chocolate.”
Telling your significant other you’re going to wine and dine them, then giving them a bottle of Barefoot and a hot pocket? You can do better. Unless that’s really what you want, I’m here to give some decent — emphasis on decent — recommendations on wine and chocolates. Ravenswood Vinters Zinfandel (a red wine): $8-12 Red wines tend to be more acidic, and this one is no exception. If you enjoy tasting hints of strawberries, oak and vanilla then this is the wine for you. This wine would work great with some dark chocolate - my preferences would be Ghirardelli dark chocolate or Lindor dark
truffles. If you want to go the extra mile, red wine pairs well with red meat. Just be careful if you use marinades — you don’t want to choose something sweet. If you want to try a different mellow red, I’d highly suggest the Marcel Malbec. It’s a French red wine with more vibrant flavors and less acidity for only $5 more. Plus it’s French, and they’re known for not making garbage. Woodbridge Chardonnay (a white wine): $10-14 This is an amazing bang for your buck. It’s a dry but sweet wine, so if you don’t like the acidity of reds, this is a better option. The main tastes are hazelnut and, for lack of a better term, a sort of lingering fruit. I think this Chardonnay would best pair with caramel or white chocolate, preferably Dove. If you want to class up this pairing, maybe go for chocolate-covered strawberries. If you don’t want to treat yourself to something nice, I guess you could buy a bottle of Barefoot Chardonnay. But See WINE Page 9

Treat yourself ... by relaxing at home on Valentine’s Day. Use Feb. 14 as an excuse to lounge around in your pajamas, watch Netflix and drink tea out of your favorite mug.
Don’t let this holiday get you down; your relationship status does not define who you are
By Emma Ledbetter Evergreen columnist
It can be difficult to be single on Valentine’s Day, especially if you are desperate for a relationship. Everyone else seems to be flaunting their happiness while you are stuck at home crying into a gallon of ice cream and watching a bad romance movie. Just kidding — there is no such thing as a bad romance movie. Fear not, fellow single person. There is no need to let your singleness get you down this year. Here are some of my favorite tricks to making myself
feel loved and appreciated — which is exactly how you deserve to feel. Host a “Palentine’s” Party – Nothing lifts your mood quite like surrounding yourself with friends. Get a group of your besties together and enjoy the time you get to spend with them. Do whatever it is your group likes to do together, whether that be cooking, watching a movie or going out for the night. Make sure everyone is having fun and feeling included. There’s no point in celebrating Palentine’s Day if you are not enjoying being with your friends. Take yourself on a date – I realized last year that I am an adult and have never eaten at a restaurant or gone to a movie theater by myself before. There is something incredibly intimidating about going out by yourself, especially when you know there
are other people there in happy relationships. Pro tip: no one is judging you for being alone. Step out of your comfort zone and do something by yourself that you would want to do with a significant other. This is your chance to not be disappointed by your expectations because you can do exactly what you want to do. Instead of waiting around for that one special someone who will know all of your likes and dislikes and be able to plan the most romantic date ever, do that for yourself. If you have never been given flowers, buy yourself some. Check out this article for tips on picking the best bouquet. Want a 3-foot card? Don’t just buy it. Buy it, write a note telling yourself how awesome you are and open it on Valentine’s Day with some of your favorite chocolate. Relax and de-stress — As a college
student, I can confirm that life is stressful, money is tight and I sometimes feel too busy to actually do anything. Treat yourself — and your mental health — by relaxing at home on Valentine’s Day. If it is going to stress you out to plan something or go out, just don’t. Use Feb. 14 as an excuse to lounge around in your pajamas, watch Netflix and drink tea out of your favorite mug. If it suits your fancy, put on a face mask and relax knowing there is no one around to see you or judge you for the way you look. Isn’t that the best? Lighten up – If you’re like me and humor is your way to dealing with being single, keep on laughing and cracking jokes. Whatever you do, don’t get down on yourself.

Students scrape last cash for V-Day
Romance reaches new heights on Pullman campus this year; students share holiday preparations for their special day By Anna Young Evergreen columnist
Love is in the air at WSU as students plan their celebration of Valentine’s Day this Friday. Sophomore Han Grie said he’s been planning his Valentine’s Day for months. He worked three jobs over the summer so he could afford the highest-level RDA, and said he’s carefully budgeted his
Natalie blake | Daily evergreen illustration
meals to have plenty of RDA come Friday. “I’m gonna surprise my boyfriend with a romantic meal at Southside Cafe,” Grie said. “I’ll tell him he can get whatever he wants — it’s on me.” He said the meal will probably drain the last of his RDA, but he’s been planning for that too. An intern in a wheat genetics lab, Grie said he’s been stockpiling loose grains that fall on the floor of the lab to make gruel so he doesn’t starve. After that, Grie said he plans to bring his boyfriend back to Waller Hall for drinks. “Last year I did a similar thing for a different boyfriend, and he actually ended up breaking up with me,” he said. “I guess it was hard to enjoy

the date with my two roommates hanging around. The asbestos crumbling off the ceiling into our drinks didn’t help either.” Seniors Nyah Eve and Manny Pewlate, who met on Tinder last month, said they’ll spend the night Netflix-and-chilling at Eve’s apartment. Eve said Pewlate really is the love of her life, and she hopes they’ll get married soon after graduation. “He’s always been so sweet,” she said. “He’s got, like, a dictionary of pet names for me. He’s always calling me ‘sweetie’ or ‘honey’ or ‘babe.’ Most guys won’t make that kind of commitment this early.” Pewlate said he’s lucky to have a girl like Eve. “It’s a good thing she likes all the nicknames,” he said. “Because I don’t remember her real name, and she deleted her Tinder profile after we started hanging out so I can’t check. Do you think it’s too late to ask?” Pewlate said he’s going to pay really close attention at graduation when they read her name so he can write it down if they stay together that long. While some students set off to make Valentine’s Day the most romantic day of the year, others have different ideas. Junior history major Ann Grie [no relation to Han Grie] will be bringing back the Victorian Era tradition of Vinegar Valentines, also known as penny dreadfuls. “They’re basically little notes that say mean things,” Ann said. “Nothing warms my heart like telling someone all the reasons I hate them.” A few of these notes were addressed to “the professor who wouldn’t round my 89.9 percent up in English 101 freshman year” and “the bus driver who drove past me at the Thai Ginger stop on Nov. 18, 2019, even though I was clearly hauling ass to get there.” However, Ann declined to share the contents of each note. “I don’t want to share something so personal with the world,” she said. “I’m a very private person — I keep my secrets confined to a locked journal and my Facebook page.” Anna Young is a junior creative writing major from Helena, Mont.

TREAT | Continued from Page 7 comedians at your fingertips. If you feel like going out for your laughs, Nuthouse Improv Comedy is hosting a Valentine’s Day show at 8 p.m. Friday in the CUB Junior Ballroom. Show appreciation — There are plenty of other people in your life who support you — with or without a significant other. It is easy to fall into the trap of self-pity when you feel lonely at this time of year. Instead of indulging that side of you, be grateful for all that you do have and all the people who care about you. Expressing gratitude is a great way to take your mind off your own problems and focus on making other people happy. Reach out to someone who made a big impact on your life and thank them for making you who you are today. One of my favorite t h i n g s to do for Valentine’s Day is making treat bags for my friends, as a way of saying, “thanks for putting up with me constantly.” It may be a given that we are friends, but I want the people in my life to know I love them. Being single doesn’t define you A lot of people would argue that being single sucks, but I disagree. What sucks is the belief that there is something
wrong with being single or wrong with a person because they do not have a significant other. Your worth is not tied to your relationship status. Everyone is bound to be single at some point. You may as well make the best of it instead of waiting around for “the one” to walk into your life. These suggestions seem lame or a little cliché, but they are a solid starting place for how to enjoy your singleness and appreciate just how you are. As you explore all the ways there are to #treatyourself, feel free to share your favorites with me by emailing sm.coordinator@ dailyevergreen.com.

This is seen in the linear lines of the trench coats and suits, and the flattering silhouettes seen in the jumpsuits and dresses. Simkhai played around with color in his collection. He used different shades of brown, hints of black and gold accents like the dangling chain earrings to give the impression of warmth and comfort. He included colors such as an illuminating orange and a vivid red to bring more playfulness and excitement.

RECIPE | Continued from Page 7 they were a little puffy and the frosting stuck out the top. You have the option of using a decorating tip to frost your cupcakes but I opted not to. I decided ahead of time I would drizzle some non-dyed frosting on with a spatula, and I didn’t like the visual of the perfect decorating tip pattern under the haphazard drizzle. I was going to buy pomegranate seeds to top off the cupcakes, but I fell on the way to my car and skinned a large section of my leg and I didn’t really feel like going to the store after that. So I used some cinnamon candies I had in my cupboard and they worked just as well. I’m a much bigger fan of sour than I am of sweet, but I have to admit these cupcakes are fantastic. If you’ve got time to kill or a group of people you want to surprise with baked goods, I suggest trying this recipe out. Cupcake mix: Prepare according to box instructions, or following

If your significant other is an animal lover, be aware of which blossoms you buy. Lilies in particular can cause renal failure in cats, Chandler said. In general, flowers should be kept away from pets if possible. “Cats tend to get into everything,” Chandler said. “If we know there’s a cat in the house, we try not to send [lilies].” Chandler said people should be aware of online flower companies claiming to be based in Pullman or able to deliver here because they are often scamming. “We’re the only actual flower shop besides Safeway and Dissmore’s,” Chandler said. “Where there’s a scam to be had, somebody will try and do it.” Neill’s Flowers and Gifts is located at 234 E.

Pair it with whatever you find in the McDonald’s dumpster you’re scavenging through or a Hershey bar from whatever gas station you like to go to. Some sort of milk chocolate might be okay. Even Korbel or Chandon is better than this. But if you want
sparkling, at least go for La Marca Prosecco, which is around $20. Most of us can’t afford a $40+ bottle of Champagne, but don’t lie to yourself about this swill. In the end, you can pick out whatever cheap garbage you want. But if you’re trying to impress someone this Valentine’s Day, I suggest you throw out a few extra dollars and get something you’ll both enjoy, rather than something you’ll pound until you can’t taste it anymore. Also, make sure you always have chocolate.

Best movies for Valentine’s date night Watch “Heathers,” “Gerald’s Game,” “The Spectacular Now” for fun movie hangout By Annika Zeigler Evergreen columnist
As Valentine’s Day approaches, many couples plan to try a new restaurant, go sightseeing, or visit a theater. Others will opt to stay inside, especially considering the February snow that’s supposed to hit Pullman in the coming weeks. Many of us prefer to “Netflix and Chill” for romantic occasions anyway, mostly because it’s warmer, more comfortable and you can wear sweatpants and that three-days-worn hoodie. It’s the dream. The only issue with opting to watch a movie at home is that there are so many movies on Netflix — not even factoring in Hulu, Amazon Prime or other subscription services. It can be a chore to scroll through bottomless lists of B-movies and things you’ve already seen. I’ve compiled a list of standout films to stream as a Valentine’s Day gift to you. You’re welcome. A perfect Valentine’s Day watch on Netflix would be “The Spectacular Now.” It’s a gorgeous, coming-of-age romance that explores the dynamic between party-boy Sutter and sweetheart Aimee. A film that anyone can fall in love with, “The Spectacular Now” is one of the most elevated romance films available to stream, with a stunning soundtrack, gorgeous cinematography and a beautiful young adult love story. If you’re looking for something edgier, the Netflix original “Gerald’s Game” is the perfect mix of
LAUREN PETTIT | DAILY EVERGREEN ILLUSTRATION
sexy, scary and awe-inspiring. This film follows Gerald and Jessie, a married couple who retreat by themselves to a secluded cabin for a weekend of romance. After Gerald handcuffs Jessie to their bed upon arrival, preparing for some Netflix and chill(ing) of their own, Gerald suffers a fatal heart attack, leaving Jessie on her own to escape the cuffs, her mind and the house in the middle of nowhere. “Gerald’s Game” is perfect for couples into cult horror, and even delivers a surprisingly resilient and touching storyline about gender-based trauma. If you are looking for a blend between these two films, “American Honey” is your match. The film starts off heartbreaking as teenager Star raises two kids who are not hers and is abused by her father. The film takes a hopeful tone when she meets Jake, a traveling salesman who falls for her. As Star leaves behind her broken home to follow Jake and his crew, she not only falls in love with him, but herself and the world around her, painting a beautiful portrait of coming-of-age in the Midwest. If none of these sound ideal for getting streamy and steamy, I have suggestions for Hulu as well. “Loving Vincent,” a film crafted from 65,000 frames of oil paintings, follows Vincent Van Gogh’s family and friends in the days after his death, ultimately providing a message of love and acceptance. “Heathers” is an obvious Valentine’s choice for couples who are more into cult classics, following Veronica and JD’s romantically driven plot to kill the ruling clique at their high school, AKA the “Heathers.” “If Beale Street Could Talk” proves to be one
of the best choices, showing a powerful portrayal of black love in juxtaposition with systemic racism. “If Beale Street Could Talk” follows Fonny, a wrongfully imprisoned black man, and Tish, his pregnant girlfriend, as they both attempt to get Fonny out of jail so he can be present for their child. Incredibly heartbreaking and fulfilling at the same time, the film paints a beautiful portrait of love and injustice. If you’re still looking for more, you could try out “A Simple Favor” on Amazon Prime. Arguably the most fun film on this list, “A Simple Favor” follows Stephanie, a widowed blogger whose wealthy, seemingly perfect best friend vanishes. This prompts Stephanie to investigate, finding clues to her friend’s disappearance while simultaneously falling into a whirlwind romance. This is definitely the pick for those who are more into chick flicks but will not disappoint anyone in the mood for a mystery. To top off this list, I suggest “Creed II.” This is not only one of the greatest fighting films ever made but carries a surprisingly poignant romance storyline that will have you in tears. It’s a beautiful tale of love and triumph in the face of adversity, following Adonis Creed’s struggle for purpose. All these films will fare well for a sweet, stay-athome Valentine’s date with your partner. Whether you’re in the mood for romance, mystery or horror, I assure there is something on this list that will perfectly set the mood. Now get to streaming and happy Valentine’s Day.

Makeup to make your Valentine’s Day By Annika Zeigler Evergreen columnist
Valentine’s Day is arguably one of the most fun holidays to get festive. It’s easy to make pink and red tones look sexy on anyone. These luscious colors are exciting to use while creating makeup looks as reds, pinks and warm tones in general complement just about every eye color and complexion. There are millions of ways to make the perfect Valentine’s Day look whether you opt for full-face or something more natural. One of the most versatile red-toned eyeshadow collections is Jeffree Star Cosmetics’s Blood Sugar Palette, which offers a variety of nude, pink, red and purple tones. They range from Glucose, a white matte, to Coma, a dark black-plum shade. The shade names are playfully on-brand, the colors to die for and the pigmentation holds its weight on any skin tone and any eye base,
providing strong color payoff for every complexion. If you are looking for something smaller and more electric, try opting for Colourpop’s mini Strawberry Shake palette. This nine-shade collection features three stunning, pink-toned shimmers as well as six mattes, ranging from a nude peach to a deep raspberry-red. If you are planning on a smokey eye, Lime Crime’s Venus XL Palette offers a sultry array of cool-toned purples, including Celestial, a dark, captivating plum splattered with gold reflux — a personal favorite of mine. Cute, festive Valentine’s Day makeup doesn’t stop with eyeshadow. If you have a light to medium skin tone, try adding Nars’s coveted blush in shade Orgasm to the high apples of your cheeks to create a soft, natural flush. Glossier’s Cloud Paint in Haze is a similar color, yet comes in a liquid-to-matte formula and will fare better for deeper skin colors. If you’re looking to get really festive, you may opt for Kaja’s liquid-to-matte Cheeky Stamp in any shade, my personal favorite being Feisty. This easyto-blend formula comes in a cute, compact heartshaped stamp.
If you want to really vamp your makeup up with a killer lip, I suggest Fenty’s best-selling Stunna Lip Paints in Uncensored, an alluring true red, or Uncuffed, the perfect pink, natural nude.

“The more complexity a stream has, the healthier it is thought to be,” Stevens said. Complex structures help build more resilience in the stream’s environment, he said. Streams become more functional as well, meaning more species will be able to live in the streams. Stevens said stream complexity can also create refuge for wildlife by developing restoration areas near the streams.

he WSU’s men’s basketball team will face the UCLA Bruins on the road for its second matchup of the season. The game will start at 8 p.m. Thursday at the Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles, California. WSU (14-10, 5-6) has defeated UCLA (13-11, 6-5) on the road three times in school history. UCLA ranks ahead of WSU in the Pac-12 standings at sixth compared to WSU in ninth. UCLA also ranks 100th in the NCAA net rankings while WSU sits at 105th. In their previous matchup on Jan. 4, WSU defeated UCLA in overtime 79-71 in Beasley Coliseum.

Miller played in the last matchup against UCLA and contributed 11 points and six rebounds off the bench. Cannon, on the other hand, did not play against UCLA earlier this season. His return to play will give the Cougars a needed spark off the bench, Smith said. “I think he gets back into our quickness and our depth,” Smith said. “And hopefully he is just getting more comfortable out there.” Elleby said the healthy roster will help the team finish out the season strong. “We need bodies; we need to give certain players breaks,” Elleby said. “Just being able to rotate out guys and bring fresh bodies off the bench is essential at this time in the year.” Smith throughout his career hasn’t coached in the Pauley Pavilion. He said he’s excited to witness the Pavilion as a coach and looks to give WSU a win on the road against UCLA for the first time in over a decade. WSU will tip off against UCLA at 8 p.m. Thursday at the Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. The game will air on the Pac12 Networks.
