City Council to host public input meeting over budget

BY AMBER.MOHMAND @iowastatedaily.com Th e Ames City Council will host a public input meeting to discuss the 2020-21 budget and Capital Improvements Plan.

The Council will vote on amendments to the 20202025 Capital Improvements Plan. They will also vote on a motion to approve the plan.

A breakdown of the Ames City Council budget

BY AMBER.MOHMAND @iowastatedaily.com The Ames City Council and the departments within the city of Ames hosted a three-day meeting breaking down the budget for the 2020 to 2021 fiscal year.

Ames City Manager Steve Schainker has recommended the budget based on the research and discussion with the staff working for the city of Ames.

“So it’s my responsibility to develop the budget with input from all my department heads and bring it forward to the City Council; they review it, they might want to add to it, take away from it, make sure I’ve covered all the priorities they have, so they’re in a reviewing body now and would have the ability to modify it,” Schainker said.

The proposed budget, subject to change in the future, has estimated expenditures totaled at $263,300,236 in order to fund the wide variety of services broken down as: 32.3 percent on utilities, 25.1 percent on capital improvements plan, 9 percent on public safety, 8.2 percent on transportation, 8.4 percent

on internal ser vices, 7.6 percent on debt service, 6.6 percent on community enrichment and 2.9 percent on general government.

“So when I give a budget and we say it’s a $263 million budget and people try to compare [it to] the last year, let’s say [it] went up, it’s hard to compare because including that budget or number [are] diff erent businesses we operate,” Schainker said. “So you got to make sure you’re comparing apples to apples when you try to say, ‘Try to show a comparison of where we were last year from this year.’ So you have to break it down into smaller pieces to really understand what it will [be] we’re off ering in the way of services.”

The council will hear public input on the proposed budget at their Tuesday meeting and will move to finalize the budget on March 10.

The proposed property tax is increased from $10.02 to $10.14, a $0.12 or 1.4 percent increase from the 2019 to 2020 fiscal year, meaning an Ames resident will have to pay $10.14 per $1,000 of the taxable valuation if the city manager’s recommendation were to be approved.

“Property taxes pay for kind of the general services, like parks and recreation, the library, police, fire — those kinds of things,” Schainker said. “Utility fees obviously go for your electric bill, your water bill, your sewer bill, there’s a storm water utility as a resource recovery [and] ‘How do we dispose of garbage?’

So those kinds of fees are important too.”

Th is is the lowest rate of increase in taxable valuation since the 2008 fi scal year, according to the drafted budget, which was caused by a global fi nancial crisis. Typically, over the past five years, there has been a 5.6 percent average increase. The causes could include a reduced rollback rate that is mandated by the state, reducing the taxable value of the residential and multi-residential property by $73,520,427, according to the drafted budget.

The total taxable valuation for the 2020 to 2021 proper t y tax le vy is $3,112,286,020, a 1.1 percent change from the 2019 to 2020 fiscal year. “ We make up about a third of the property tax bill, and the biggest portion

Sanders and Buttigieg campaigns request partial caucus recanvass

BY JAKE.WEBSTER @iowastatedaily.com Iowa’s Democratic caucuses on Feb. 3 ended with unprecedented delays in the Iowa Democratic Party’s (IDP) release of results and no official winner, and the race may not be called for days to come with a recanvassing of results pending.

The presidential campaigns of Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders are in a virtual tie in the state delegate equivalents (SDE) awarded from caucuses, which are used to determine a victor.

A New York Times analysis found potentially hundreds of precincts across Iowa have inconsistencies in how their results were reported, which could affect which of the two candidates come out on top.

The potentially flawed results the

IDP released have led the Associated Press to decline to call a winner in the race, despite Buttigieg’s razor-thin edge over Sanders in SDEs. “[Monday], the Sanders campaign filed requests for recanvass for 28 precincts, and the Buttigieg campaign filed requests for recanvass for 66 precincts and all in-state satellite precincts — a total of 143 precincts, removing duplicities,” according to a release from the IDP on Monday.

A recanvass would involve checking the math used to tabulate results from the affected precincts.

The IDP’s recount and recanvass committee will review the requests to determine whether they meet its “required standard” and transmit to the campaigns its assessment of the requests to each respective campaign within 48

hours, according to the release.

“In the event of a recanvass, the IDP will analyze the requested precincts to correct any inconsistencies between the reported results and their official record of result from caucus night, as signed by the precinct chair, secretary and representatives of campaigns,” according to the release.

In a press conference Monday, the IDP Chair Troy Price said any mathematical errors in precinct data, such as those flagged by the Times, cannot be adjusted by the state party.

“These sheets are signed not only by the precinct chair and the precinct secretary, they are also signed by campaign representatives; and so for us, they are the official record of what took place in the room, and we do not believe that we should be altering what

is the official record of what happened in the room,” Price said. “The course for correcting that is what is starting here today, starting with the recanvass process and then if we requested a recount after that, and so that’s where we are in the process.”

The IDP chair said they will be able to figure out exactly how long that would take and what steps would follow the completion of a recanvass.

“At this point, I can’t tell you exactly how long this will take, but we should have more information in the next couple of days,” Price said.

In a letter to Price, Sanders requested a “limited precinct-level” review and recanvass of results.

“Mathematical errors and inconsistencies in the tabulations for 25 precincts and three satellite caucuses led

to at least 2.2312 too many [SDEs] to be assigned to Mayor Pete Buttigieg and at least 2.3942 too few to my campaign,” Sanders said in the letter.

Should Sanders’ claim be reflected in new results following a recanvassing, he would take the lead over Buttigieg in the SDE count. Buttigieg maintains a lead of less than 3 SDEs over Sanders, according to the data the IDP released as of Monday.

The IDP did not release results from any precinct caucus sites the night of the caucuses, instead delaying the results until the following afternoon and releasing partial results throughout the following days until the party had released 100 percent of results late Thursday. Price apologized for the delays and errors in some of the results the party released in a press conference Friday.

What to expect from the upcoming StuGov vice presidential debate

BY JACOB.SMITH @iowastatedaily.com The first main event of the 2020 Student Government election cycle is happening Tuesday: the vice presidential debate.

The debate will take place at 6 p.m.

Tuesday in the Cardinal Room of the Memorial Union.

Three candidates will be on the stage: Jacob Schrader, senior in economics and political science; Joshua Hanyang, senior in entrepreneurship and management information systems; and Daniel Eisenstein, sophomore in management information systems.

All three candidates are running with a presidential running mate, who will all be debating later in February.

The debate will cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to campus climate and diversity and inclusion, student wellness and sustainability, student government retention and transparency.

Candidates began campaigning on Feb. 1. Elections for the Student Government position will take place over March 3 and March 4.

For audience members, there are some rules.

Audience signs must be no bigger than

8.5 inches by 11 inches, and if you have a question you can submit it online via http:// bit.ly/StuGovDebate2020 or tweet your questions using #StuGovDebate2020.

During the debate, moderators will ask the candidates questions. Following which, they will get 60 seconds to respond. When a candidate would like to rebut another, they will raise their hand to alert the moderators, and they will then receive 45 seconds to rebut.

The debate is mandatory for candidates to attend, and if they do not, they will receive a violation hearing and potential fines.

Over 340 organizations are registered for the 2020 Spring Engineering Career Fair, which will take place from noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday.

The 2020 Spring Engineering Career F a i r, o r g a n i z e d b y t h e C o l l e g e o f Engineering and their student executive team, will have over 340 companies and organizations for student networking.

There is an expected attendance of over 3,000 students.

Kellie Mullaney, program coordinator for Engineering Career Services, said there will be a mix of big brand name companies and smaller companies.

“I recommend [students] take a look at some of these smaller companies that they haven’t heard of because sometimes there might be a lot smaller competition and be a good fit for them,” Mullaney said. “The biggest thing that I really recommend is that students do a little preparation beforehand. Do a little bit of research about the different companies that you want to go and talk to.”

Even if students are not actively searching for an internship, Mullaney said the career fair will be a good opportunity for students to meet with employers to make connections for prospective employment.

Students can find the most updated information on employers in attendance and booth location on CyHire or general information in the MyState app under the “Fairs” tab.

Students may register the day of on the ground floor of the Scheman Building.

Alumni and students transferring to Iowa State will complete the guest registration process in this same area.

Students must wear professional business attire. Professional headshots will be located in the student lounge of the Scheman Building.

There will be an Engineering Career Fair CyRide shuttle from 11:50 a.m. to 6 p.m.

It will stop every 10 minutes. The orange, red and blue routes will also be available as career fair transport.

On-campus interviews will be Wednesday in the Memorial Union and Thursday in Marston Hall. Post interview, employers are required to give students at least three weeks to consider offers of employment so they can participate in as much of the recruiting season as possible.

Reneging on an employment commitment is not tolerated at Iowa State. If someone is being pressured to make a quick decision, they can inform Engineering Career Services.

StuGov vice presidential candidates Three candidates for the StuGov vice presidential race introduce themselves

BY JACOB.SMITH @iowastatedaily.com Three candidates are running for vice president of Student Government. The candidates are campaigning

together with a running mate for president and will debate each other at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Cardinal Room of the Memorial Union. Voting for Student Government president and vice president will take place over March 3 and March 4 online at vote.iastate.edu.

Daniel Eisenstein From Buffalo Grove, Illinois, and sophomore in management information services, Daniel Eisenstein is running to represent the student body of Iowa State as its Student Government Vice President.

Eisenstein is running for Vice President together with Luke Barnes, a candidate for president, on a platform of financial accountability, streamlining bureaucracy, sustainability and transparency.

“Growing up, I was always intrigued with civics and our governmental networks,” Eisenstein said. “I primarily ended up coming to Iowa State University because I have grandparents who live in Ames, and I have been coming here for as long as I can remember. I also love how many different activities and organizations there are for each student. There really is something for everyone.”

Eisenstein suggested an idea for creating a more sustainable campus by integrating natural prairie grasses south of

Parks Library.

“Our platform revolves around four points: financial accountability, streamlining bureaucracy, sustainability and transparency,” Eisenstein said. “These are abstract goals, but we have concrete examples of how we would achieve them. For example, regarding sustainability, we would love to take a block of grass south of the library and replace it with natural prairie grasses, similar to that which is north of Science Hall. Not only would it look beautiful, but it would be great for different animal species, be a good resource for learning and be inexpensive, or possibly even cost-negative with less lawn grass to maintain. It would be a good reminder of what was here only a few hundred years ago.”

Eisenstein said he believed that the biggest issue facing students at Iowa State is financial accountability.

“I think the single biggest issue that [faces] students is financial accountability,”

Eisenstein said. “As every student pays 38 [dollars] to student government per semester, my running mate [and I] want to make certain that every cent is spent responsibly. We also want to see to making the budgets and expenditures for each ISU department publicly available and accessible without needing to ask.”

Eisenstein has never been an elected member of Student Government, but he said that he would be honored to be able to ensure that it is functioning in the best interest of all students on campus.

Additionally, Eisenstein described the important traits of a leader in his eyes.

“I think the most important character traits in any leader are patience, respect and open-mindedness,” Eisenstein said.

“Everyone has a story to tell, and everyone has an opinion to share. The only way to ensure everyone is willing and able to speak their mind is with patience, respect and open-mindedness.”

COURTESY OF DANIEL EISENSTEIN Daniel Eisenstein, sophomore in management information systems, is running for vice president of Student Government.

Joshua Hanyang A native of Des Moines, Iowa, and senior in entrepreneurship, Joshua Hanyang is running to represent the student body of Iowa State as its Student Government vice president.

Hanyang’s running mate for president is Lydia Greene, and together, they are running on a platform of diversity and inclusion, mental health awareness, green initiatives, student government transparency and an initiative to implement a one-credit, half-semester course called “ISU 101.”

“When I decided to run for student body vice president along with Lydia, I just wanted to continue to bring the ideas of Student Government back to students first and bring it so that we had that feedback from the people who pay tuition here, who are involved in programs and all that sort of stuff,” Hanyang said. “The couple of years I have been here, I felt like Student Government had done a lot of

great things, but they weren’t communicating them effectively out.”

Hanyang said he believed that the most important issue facing students is either mutual understanding or community.

“I’ve seen a lot of students who are upset or distraught about things with sustainability or campus climate and the inclusion of their identities with free speech with organization funding, and it all boils down to one thing, and that’s awareness about the community. And I think that students know what they’re going through, and that’s really important to them [...] and even our administration sometimes loses focus about the priorities of students and needs those student leaders to come together and tell them, ‘Hey, we need you to continue to prioritize students,’” Hanyang said.

Before he was an elected senator, Hanyang was a tech worker who recorded

the streams of Student Government Senate meetings. He said he got interested in the process because at times, he felt like the student perspective was missing, and he wanted to hear how the students felt about issues as well.

Additionally, Hanyang said experiences outside of Student Government put him in a good position to relate to students.

“I have a multitude of experiences, ranging from academics to social experiences as being a Cyclone Aide, being part of an organization like the Iowa State Singers, being in a leadership role as a treasurer for that, seeing things that most student leaders go through, but then also students that aren’t as involved go through as well,” Hanyang said. “Struggling through basic math classes, changing your major, all those sort of things I had seen, and I had seen students who had gone through it along with me.”

COURTESY OF JOSH HANYANG Josh Hanyang, senior in entrepreneurship, is running for vice president of Student Government.

Jacob Schrader Current Vice Speaker of Student Government and senior in economics and political science Jacob Schrader is running to represent the student body of Iowa State as its Student Government vice president.

Schrader is running alongside Morgan Fritz, a candidate for president, on a platform of college affordability, addressing campus climate and sustainability on campus.

“I think that when it comes to student body president and vice president, it’s important to have people that are passionate, that understand the issues and that have experience so they know how to actually accomplish those things,” Schrader said. “With enrollment declining, it is an important time for our university when it comes to affordability, when it comes to sustainability, campus climate, I mean we’re in a very important time, and students need a president and a vice

president that take those issues seriously.”

An idea of Schrader’s campaign is implementing Income Share Agreements into the university. Income Share Agreements would be an option for students to contract with the university to pay back a certain percentage of their future earnings for a fixed period after graduation.

“The model that we probably want to look at is Utah; it currently has a pilot program,” Schrader said. “[If] we get elected, we need to sit down with the university and we need to say, ‘What protections do we need students to have?’ and ‘What’s the max percent people are going to be expected to give up?’ [and] ‘What’s the max years?’ so we ensure students aren’t getting screwed by bankers or ultra-capital firms that just try to exploit students.”

Schrader said that the most important issue facing this generation is the ability to get an affordable education.

“Dropout rates among people in marginalized communities are higher than people who aren’t in those communities, which is why campus climate is important,” Schrader said. “When we talk about sustainability, that flooding in western Iowa is affecting the state budget, which will eventually affect Iowa State’s budget.”

Schrader has been a senator now for three years and said the friendships he has made over time have taught him a lot.

“Friendship with [former] Vice President Cody Smith, Juan [former Vice President], Vish, who’s the current Vice President, I think I’ve learned a lot from them, and I want to take what I’ve learned from all these people who I consider are good friends and do the best I can in the role because it goes back to the experience,” Schrader said. “Students deserve someone that’s been there before.”

Sometimes you just want to lay back, chill out, think about palm trees and tax returns. Most music has elements to it that doesn’t really allow for this kind of vibe; these are not thoughts for tones and verses that switch up within moments. This is where lo-fi music comes in.

A method of production that deals with not just the aesthetic quality of the music itself but also the environmental

interference of the elements that are part of the production itself, lo-fi music has a smooth and buttery quality to it that is desirable. Similar to the vibe that synthwave and vapor-wave music invokes, lo-fi music (usually produced with hip hop rhythms) has a poignant and sometimes deeply emotional value to it.

Modern SoundCloud rappers use these lo-fi beats to rap over simply because most lo-fi is the same sample being played over and over again. These are samples usually in a minor scale — like Aeolian mode — and have jazzy tunes overlaid on top of soft ambient pads. Nujabes, the late Japanese music producer, was one of the earliest pioneers of lo-fi music. Some of his work, like Lady Brown, is easily a great example of good low-fidelity hip hop music, making him a cult legend in the lo-fi music scene.

Lo-fi music is soft, it is grounded and it is repetitive. It is very easy to make and hence you have a steady rise in the production of this genre. The repetition of the sample oozes a smoothness that is difficult to describe. There is no noise in lo-fi, just the sounds of the cassette tape or a loop of raindrops or the steady scratch of a vinyl record in the background. A good example of such a track is 5:32PM by The Deli.

The anime and 80s aesthetic and the all-lowercase lends to the chill but touching vibes of the music. A very good example of this kind of Japanese music (I saw a YouTube user refer to this as “samurai lo-fi”) is this song by RUDE called Eternal Youth. Maybe you might have heard it to the backdrop of a Minecraft video edit, but the track is pretty amazing by itself.

Sometimes lo-fi tracks will have a small sample of people just talking, doing their own thing: a dialogue that seems out of place but is an integral part of the overall aesthetic. It almost feels like you’re in that moment with the people there, comfortable in your own skin, just chilling, which is, again, an important part of good lo-fi. I personally listen to a lot of lo-fi and sometimes produce some. Please feel free to reach out to me for recommendations of music that’ll make you spontaneously sad.

There is a good chance that you’ve come across a constant live-stream on YouTube titled something like “lo-fi chill hip hop beats to relax to/study to” with the image of an anime girl in a comfy green sweater working at her desk with her cat and a warm scene in the background. But, I wonder, why would you choose to study to lo-fi when you could daydream to it?

Now that the results of the Iowa caucuses have finally been released in an official capacity, we can almost look back on who actually benefited the most from the wild contest.

Pete Buttigieg became the first openly gay candidate for president to win a state in a primary race when the Iowa caucus officially released the counts for the national delegate numbers on Sunday. This has given him quite the surge in polls for the upcoming New Hampshire primary where his numbers show he is up three to four points, which seem to have largely been taken from Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren.

Despite this, however, it seems as though Bernie Sanders will be the winner of the first primary in the Granite State given the consensus around different pollsters that he will be victorious in New Hampshire while Mayor Pete rolls up with a close second place.

Where does this leave the field?

I don’t think that Buttigieg’s success in two very white states is going to change much about his support from black voters, and given Biden and Sanders’ dominance in that demographic, there doesn’t seem to be much room in that regard.

This is a new phenomenon that was not present for Sanders in the 2016 primary where black voters overwhelmingly sided with his opponent Hillary Clinton. He was walloped in 2016 by over 40 points and is now, according to FiveThirtyEight’s forecast, a favorite in the state (it should be noted that I think there should be vastly more polling done in the state).

The results have been a clear loss for former Vice President Joe Biden who touted in last Friday’s debate that he doesn’t expect to do well in New Hampshire (Nate Silver and others agree). While this is certainly an interesting way to react to getting fourth place as a “frontrunner,” it is not helping his prospects going forward.

It is my theory that it is overall good for the Sanders camp to have had this outcome (despite the disdain that they have had for the process on Twitter). It allows them to continue on with their underdog mentality going into the back half of the first four states (I don’t think their win in New Hampshire will change all that much, regarding the narrative) and will bring them the vindication of, in all likelihood, beating Buttigieg in the upcoming primaries where Pete is not polling well at all. These first votes are all about narratives, and after Pete gets third or fourth in both Nevada and South Carolina, it will be clear that Iowa was a fluke for the Buttigieg campaign.

Straw, Colbray find success Key individual performances led the way for road win over Sooners

BY STEPHEN.MCDANIEL @iowastatedaily.com Over the weekend, Iowa State picked up its second straight dual win and its seventh dual win of the season. The Cyclones (7-4, 4-1 Big 12) traveled to Norman, Oklahoma, and took down the hosting Oklahoma Sooners behind several key individual performances.

Iowa State will get a crack at two more conference foes this weekend when it hosts West Virginia on Saturday and Northern Iowa on Sunday.

COLBRAY’S SIGNATURE WIN A week ago, Sam Colbray suffered a tough loss in the Fresno State dual that dropped him outside of InterMat’s top 20 rankings for 174 pounds after being ranked No. 12.

Colbray had a great opportunity presented to him heading into the Oklahoma dual in the form of Oklahoma’s No. 14 ranked Anthony Mantanona.

The matchup was proving to be one of the most crucial matches in the dual, and Colbray pulled through.

In the third period and with a 3-2 lead over Mantanona, Colbray picked up a big takedown, which Mantanona escaped from, bringing the score to 5-3. At the buzzer, Mantanona recorded a takedown to send their match to the second sudden victory period of the day.

Despite letting up the last-second takedown to send it to sudden victory, Colbray was quick to record the match-winning takedown, securing a signature win since dropping down to 174.

STRAW KILLS SOONER MOMENTUM It’s safe to say Chase Straw hasn’t found the same level of success in his redshirt senior campaign at 165 that he had just a year ago when he claimed a Big 12 title at 157.

IOWA STATE DAILY Iowa State then-redshirt sophomore Sam Colbray pauses during an official review during his match against Missouri on Feb. 24, 2019.

But on Saturday, Straw was the catalyst for the second-half push that put the Cyclones over the Sooners in Norman.

To set the scene, Oklahoma took three of the first five weights against Iowa State.

Anthony Madrigal won a toss-up against Todd Small, Dom Demas recorded the first and only takedown of the match in sudden victory against Ian Parker and — the one that got McCasland Field House rocking — Justin Thomas pinned Grant Stotts in 4:21, allowing the Sooners to go into the break with a 12-7 lead over the Cyclones.

Straw was the first Cyclone on the mat after the break, where he delivered one of his best performances of the season.

Facing off with Elijah Joseph, Straw recorded three takedowns, a two-point near-fall, an escape and a bonus point for

ride time en route to a major decision win and the first domino to fall in Iowa State’s second-half run.

ANOTHER WEEK, ANOTHER STRONG DUAL CLOSING As mentioned, Oklahoma went into the break with a 12-7 lead after taking three of the first five weights and the momentum away from Iowa State. The Cyclones went on to take four of the final five weights to win the dual.

Straw and Colbray helped kickstart the second half of the dual with one of Straw’s best performances and Colbray’s signature win over Mantanona.

Following those two, Marcus Coleman continued to tease the return of, what Coach Kevin Dresser coined, “the old Marcus Coleman.”

Coleman nearly replicated Straw’s performance except with an addition of an extra two-point near-fall in his 12-4 major decision win over Darrien Roberts.

Joel Shapiro lost to Jake Woodley but kept the dual close and held Woodley to a 7-3 decision, refusing Oklahoma any bonus team points.

The dual c ame down to 285, where Oklahoma needed Josiah Jones to record a major decision against Gannon Gremmel to force the dual into a tiebreaker.

Gremmel, who had a c lear siz e and height advantage, was the one that picked up the major decision victory. Gremmel notched five takedowns in the final match to give Iowa State a bonus-point win to cap off another Big 12 road victory for the Cyclones.

Tyrese Haliburton to miss rest of 2020 season with broken wrist

BY MATT.BELINSON @iowastatedaily.com After receiving an MRI on Sunday, Tyrese Haliburton’s season is officially over, according to a press release from Iowa State men’s basketball.

The sophomore guard will miss the remainder of the 2020 basketball season after he broke his wrist falling to floor on Saturday against Kansas State when blocking a shot attempt.

Haliburton’s wrist was already going through pain and injury concerns earlier in the season, when he was sidelined before Iowa State would take on and eventually lose to Florida A&M on Dec. 31.

The sophomore from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and the rest of the team spoke with the media Monday after the news of his injury prognosis was official. Haliburton said that while many people will look to see if someone on the bench will be able

to step in Haiburton’s shoes, he sees that as the wrong way to look at the situation.

“I think that’s the problem right there is that people think that somebody’s gonna have to step in and do what I do but you just gonna have to fill into your role,” Haliburton said.

Haliburton was being projected as a top-10 lottery pick in the upcoming 2020 NBA Draft before the break, but with his season being cut short, the high draft position could be in jeopardy.

Rasir Bolton will be the main point guard that will shift into Haliburton’s role as the main ball-handler and facilitator for the Cyclones. Bolton said the injury really hurt him and the team, especially with Haliburton’s character being so team-oriented.

Bolton said he knows Haliburton was hurt the moment he heard about the news but said that he will still be a big part of the team from the sideline.

CAITLIN YAMADA/ IOWA STATE DAILY Tyrese Haliburton drives toward the basket against Kansas State on Feb.8.

“It hurt, it really hurt to see a kid like that have to go down, he loves the game, loves basketball, loves Iowa State,” Bolton said. “I’m sure he wanted to finish out the year fighting with us but we’re just praying for his recovery and we’re there to help him

every step of the way.”

Bolton said the loss of Haliburton will only increase the intensity the rest of the team should feel in practice and in preparation, as new roles and playing time will be available for almost everyone.

Head coach Steve Prohm agreed with Bolton’s sentiment, hoping everyone on the team understands that opportunities will be present for the rest of the season.

Prohm said despite Haliburton’s rise to stardom being relatively short, Prohm knew he had the potential to become the star many NBA scouts project him to be.

“He was a guy I was like, ‘alright man, we’ve lost [Georges] Niang, we lost Naz [Mitrou-Long], we’ve lost some of those guys, but we got one,’” Prohm said. “You could see it when I saw him play in Vegas, ‘like if we get him, we’re gonna have one’ and that’s what I really liked about him, forget the other stuff, he was a great fit, he’s a great fit for this university.”

Haliburton was averaging a team-leading 15.2 points per game, along with a Big 12-leading 6.5 assists per game before his season-ending injury.

Style Valentine’s Day like a pro

How to use accessories, fabrics and colors to celebrate the holiday

BY EMERSON.LATHAM @iowastatedaily.com You’re in elementary school, and you are dressed in pink and red hearts from head to toe. You can barely contain your excitement as you walk into class with a decorative box full of Valentine’s Day goodies to trade with your classmates.

Fast forward to the present, and maybe your plans for Valentine’s Day have changed a little bit, and maybe so has your outfit.

Assistant Professor in apparel, events and hospitality management Ling Zhang has some tips on how to dress for the holiday without going too over the top.

A big trend she has seen in fashion and cosmetics this year is the color red, Zhang said.

The magazines, emails and advertisements she has been sent about Valentine’s Day feature a lot of rich red packaging, clothing, shoes and makeup,

said Zhang.

If you are really wanting to show you’re celebrating the holiday by wearing both pink and red, Zhang recommends wearing warmer pink colors with the red.

If you don’t want to go all out but still want to show you’re celebrating the holiday, try adding accessories to a neutral outfit.

“If you have gray tones, you can add red accessories like earrings, necklace or lips,” Zhang said.

With Valentine’s Day on a Friday this year, students might have class earlier in the day and other plans later. With that being said, some people might not be celebrating the holiday at all.

It is good to be conscious of those people when dressing up.

“If you are wearing overwhelming colors, you may make some of your classmates feel bad,” Zhang said. “My suggestion is going to school, you still wear daily wear but use accessories to

celebrate. Or you can wear a little bit of different makeup.”

If you are going out on a date later that evening or even just going out to eat with friends, more formal attire might be essential.

Whether it’s a pink dress or a red tie, there are many ways to create a Valentine’s look.

“Softer fabrics are a big trend right now,” Zhang said. “Fabrics like chiffon or some flowy skirt or dress definitely is a good choice.”

Living in the Midwest means the weather during Valentine’s Day is still cold. You could use this to your advantage by wearing red or pink gloves, a hat or scarf.

“I think that some good warm accessories are a good choice for college students,” Zhang said.

Whether you are going for a laid-back daytime look or a nice date night outfit, Zhang said there is one thing that is important, and that is having your own style.

Iowa State joins RecycleMania tournament to be more ‘green’

BY HANNAH.SCOTT @iowastatedaily.com With a new recycling competition on its way, Iowa State puts a newfound focus on sustainability and going green.

Recyclemania is a collegiate recycling competition managed by the National Wildlife Federation.

Every year, the organization has the competition to allow schools around the nation to show their commitment to staying ecofriendly and trying to raise amounts of recycled materials.

The competition largely involves competing with other campuses to see who collects the largest combined amounts of paper, cardboard, bottles and cans on a per-person basis. The results are calculated by dividing recycling weight figures with the full-time-equivalent student, faculty and staff population

of the school. Hundreds of schools every year take part, and it gives universities an incentive to grow efforts in becoming more sustainable while adding a competitive spin.

“We will report our weights weekly to Recyclemania,” said Ayodeji Oluwalana, recycling and special events coordinator for facilities, planning and management.

This is Iowa State’s second time participating in the competition, this time in the per capita classic category, and the competition will be as heavy as ever. Last year, Iowa State ranked 158 out of 216 colleges and universities that participated in the competition.

“While the competition is stiff with hundreds of schools participating, we hope to benchmark our recycling and waste reduction efforts against other universities and colleges across the U.S. and Canada,” Oluwalana said.

Over the competition, schools will go head-to-head in different categories based on weight of recyclables, food organics and waste collected. Reporting for schools will begin Feb. 2 and go through March 28. The rankings will be regularly updated and can help rally students and staff through promotional and outreach efforts.

“The goal this year is to considerably improve in the rankings at the end of the competition,” Oluwalana said. “And we need everyone’s support to achieve this goal.”

Many schools will compete in all different levels of participation over the next few months in many different categories, allowing all of these institutions the chance to grow more sustainable practices.

Winners of the national classic eight-week tournament and the special categories will receive an award and national recognition.

is education that goes to the schools, and there’s also a portion that goes to the county and DMACC (Des Moines Area Community College),” said Duane Pitcher, director of the fi nance department for the city of Ames. “Our utilities, those are all funded by the user fees, so when you’re paying for electric utilities [...] that’s only going to the electric utility, that’s not going to pay for parks or other things like that, but also, we’re not collecting property taxes and using that to pay for electric utilities.”

Within the electric services, the total funding sources increased from $58,824,151 to $59,507,515, a 1.2 percent change from the adopted 2019 to 2020 budget. The total funding source for the electric administration will have a $110,094 recommended increase, $1,252,419, compared to the $1,142,325 budget in the 2019 to 2020 fiscal year.

“There’s two things that are driving that within the electric administration building right now, we do have an old HVAC, Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning system,” Donald Kom, director of electrical services for the city of Ames, said during the City Council budget meeting on Wednesday.

“This past summer, we found mold in the in the system, and we’re going to have to spend some money putting in a new duct system to get rid of the mold. The other thing that has gone up substantially is our dues to NERC (North American Electric Reliability Corporation), which is a requirement in being an electric utility.”

The electric administration also runs the community solar projects, which was approved by the Council in the fall. The solar farm is expected to be completed this year.

The recommended budget for the total funding sources for utilities in the 2020 to 2021 fiscal year is $1,804,394, which is $108,936 or 6.4 percent more than the $1,695,458 budget for the 2019 to 2020 fiscal year.

A factor that contributes to the increase is that the number of customers who experience difficulties in paying their bills on time is increasing, according to the budget plan.

This is based on various statistics, including the number of delinquent notices being mailed, the number of customers on payment plans and net write-offs as a percentage of sales. The dollar amount of write-off s in the 2018 to 2019 fiscal year was $88,517. In the 2019 to 2020 fiscal year, it was changed to $88,650. This year’s estimate of the dollar amount of write-off s is $92,200.

Data services are also projected to increase $31,425, which is the result of a change in how data service costs will be allocated and the planned upgrade to a new computer program.

Student tuition and city fees are separate, aside from the transportation fee for CyRide.

The proposed budget for law enforcement is $10,596,148 for the 2020 to 2021 fiscal year — a $377,717 or 3.8 percent change from the previous year, which was $10,218,431.

The number of assaults has increased, according to an infographic presented by the Ames Police Department Chief Charles Cychosz during the budget hearing meeting Feb. 5. There have been over 400 assaults in 2019 and less than 100 domestic and sexual assaults. The statistics are relevant to the Ames Police Department and do not include the Iowa State Police Department.

W hile sexual assaults have decreased and domestic violence assaults have stayed

relatively low, they still maintain an area of great concern, Cychosz said.

“What’s driving those numbers up is we look at them more than half that change is due to more frequent calls to adolescent youth treatment facilities in the community,” Cychosz said. “We have several, and there was a time where it was unusual for us to visit; we’re going to some of these locations frequently — we have locations with 100 calls. So the complexity and intensity of some of the problems that our youth treatment facilities are dealing with is leading them to call the police to assist them more often in the past.”

The increase in assaults also includes a jump in aggravated assault, Cychosz said, as it increased to over 60 assaults compared to the 40 to 50 range over the last several years.

“This last year’s increase, from 18-19, includes a jump for us in aggravated assaults — those most serious incidents,” Cychosz said. “Th at’s generally run in the 40 to 50 range over the last several years, and that, too, has taken a jump, that’s in the 60s this year. That may be a one-time, one-year phenomena; there’s some normal variability in these kinds of things, but if that continues, that reflects some challenges to us because those are more serious crimes, an aggravated assault.”

The total expenditures adopted by the 2019 to 2020 budget is $22,613,042, and the recommended budget for the 2020 to 2021 fi scal year is $22,907,918 — a 1.3 percent change from the adopted budget.

There will be a public input meeting at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday in the Council Chambers at Ames City Hall, and the regular Ames City Council meeting will follow directly after.
