Will UI, ISU pay for UNI athletics? JACOB MADDEN Staff Writer
UNI’s basketball program has made headlines this season for its upset victories over much larger teams like the University of North Carolina and Iowa State University. However, when it comes to funding, UNI athletics has faced difficulties in recent years. State Senator David Johnson proposed a bill the week of Feb. 7 to the Iowa
Senate that, if passed, would pay for shortcomings with UNI’s athletic funding. Johnson’s proposal would see the two other Regent Universities – the University of Iowa (UI) and Iowa State University (ISU) – direct $4 million per year to UNI’s athletic department for the next five years. According to the proposed legislation, UI would provide $2.28 million, while $1.72 million would come from ISU. Johnson explained that his hope
with this proposal is to lessen the burden on UNI students. “I don’t think general appropriation or student tuition should be paying for athletics at UNI,” Johnson said. Johnson explained that if the other two regent universities can make more money than they need through TV and other benefits of Division 1 status, they should pay for those who can’t afford to do so.

Series for Youth program where performances are provided to area schools for one dollar. “Dr.” Bill Sysak will be the keynote speaker of the event; Sysak is the Craft Beer Ambassador at Stone Brewing, (based out of California) and is coming to the event to discuss his pairing procedure. Sysak has been featured in many publications for his work, such as the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, “Food & Wine,” “Imbibe and Draft,” according to the event program. Blake Argotsinger, associate marketing manager of the GBPAC, explained why students who are of age and community members should attend. See BEERS, page 5
