UNL students start organization to help cancer patients with daily bills

F

or many cancer patients and their families, the disease doesn’t just consume the body but also their finances. As treatment becomes routine, medical bills skyrocket, and everyday bills become another struggle. A new organization at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Students Together Against Cancer, wants to help local cancer patients with these simple things through fundraising efforts. They have not served any cancer patients yet, group leaders said.

Jeremy Payne, a freshman biochemistry major and president and co-founder of the group, had one goal in seventh grade: to be cancer-free and forget the whole experience. But while dealing with his blood cancer, Payne met others who dealt with cancer’s effects and was inspired to help others.

“A lot of the kids and parents of the kids that I met at the Omaha Children’s Hospital were kind of the inspiration for STAC,” Payne said.

While Payne was in high school, his friend’s dad was diagnosed with cancer. Payne said he saw how tough it was for his friend and her dad, who had to go without electricity for a few days because bills piled up.

“A lot of different experiences came together at the right time to encourage me to put together this organization,” Payne said.

Brendon Henning, a freshman marketing major and vice president of STAC, helped Payne launch the orga-

nization.

Payne said he researched a lot and drew more inspiration from Cornell University’s “Cornell for LIVESTRONG,” which has a similar mission as STAC. He told Henning, his good friend from high school and now roommate, about the idea and they started planning.

Henning said he was excited about the group and wanted to help.

“I’ve never had cancer, and no one in my immediate family has had cancer, so I haven’t been profoundly affected by it,” Henning said. “But that doesn’t mean that I should wait around for my mom to get cancer before I start becoming passionate about it.”

Payne and Henning decided helping cancer patients with smaller donations would help patients and their families focus on the their treatment and each other rather than an electric bill or insurance co-payments.

“We know that, of course, we’re not going to be able to pay for the entirety of somebody’s bills,” Henning said. “We also don’t want to give somebody $2,000 and say, ‘Here, this will help with your bills,’ when their bills cost $100,000. It’s like a teardrop in an ocean.”

Henning said the first step was to become a registered student organization, which entails getting five members. He said they searched for a variety of people who would be interested

Multiple-seat bike will roam Lincoln Trolley-like bicycle business aims to bring pedal power to Haymarket tammy bain dn Twenty feet are better than two.

Drew and Katie Philippi, the owners of Group Therapy Bike Tours, recently introduced their newest Lincoln attraction, a trolleylike bicycle that travels at five miles per hour, can go on any custom tour and is powered by group effort pedaling.

About a year and a half ago Drew, who also operates Landscape Curbing with Katie, was researching vacation spots and found a traditional “Bier Bike” in Amsterdam. The bike contained a wooden keg on the front for its passengers to drink from.

Drew and Katie decided it would be fun with a different spin.

Open-container laws prevented the keg aspect, and the couple wanted to appeal to all ages – not just those of drinking age.

Then, the Philippis heard of the new arena in Lincoln’s Haymarket.

“We looked at each other and said, ‘If we’re going to do it, now is the time,’” Drew said.

After some research, the Philippis found Cycle Pub, a company in Bend, Ore. James Watts, the founder of the company, built his own version of the bike. Drew said his

bike includes 14 seats, 10 of which require its passenger to pedal.

While the driver, usually Drew, can over-steer the bike, the passengers pedal together to keep the bike powered. The bike can be rented for two hours for $280, or $20 per person.

Facing each other, being out in the open and having a group effort to keep the bike going creates an experience of its own, Drew said, which is in part why the company earned its name.

“It’s hilariously fun,” he said. “I can all but guarantee you’re going to walk away feeling revived.”

Changes after arena construction will allow open containers in an “entertainment district” in the Haymarket, and the Philippis hope this will also allow passengers bring alcoholic beverages on the bike to enjoy between stops.

“I don’t want to speculate one way or the other,” Drew said, adding that local officials wouldn’t confirm or deny whether the laws would work in the bike’s favor.

Either way, he said, his hopes won’t be dampened.

“If that doesn’t happen, that doesn’t hurt our business,” he said.

“We’ll live to ride again.”

Not all publicity for the bike has been good, Drew said. On the 1400 AM/94.5 FM KLIN morning radio talk show, Jack Mitchell and Dave Miller debated the concept of Group Therapy Bike Tours.

While some said it was just an-

bike: from 1 other permissible form of public alcohol use, others defended the bike, saying it will be safe and fun.

“There is a reason that our name is not ‘Beer Bike,’ or ‘Pedal Party’ or ‘Cycle Pub,’” Drew said in a statement on the radio station’s Facebook page. “We have chosen to brand our company to be more open minded to alternative demographics.”

One example, Drew said, is an already-booked birthday party for a 74-year-old. He said the bike could also celebrate a child’s party, and while the Haymarket is the main location for tours, the bike could go anywhere for local tours, as well as outside of Lincoln. It’s already been invited to parades in Milligan, which is about 60 miles from Lincoln, and Shickley, which is more than 80 miles from Lincoln.

Drew said he has since offered Mitchell and Miller their own, free bike tour, one which the radio hosts gladly took.

Last Saturday the bike made its debut to family and friends, and later gave a tour to TMCO Inc., Drew said. One fan of the tours was the Philippis’ 18-monthold son Nash.

“He had a blast,” Philippi said.

“We’ve promoted Nash to Group Therapy CEO.” A friend of Philippis,’ Tyson Frazen, also enjoyed the new attraction.

“Everywhere we went, people looked, took pictures and were smiling,” he said.

Katie’s sister, Rachel Swarts, also enjoyed the new attraction.

Despite the typical, two-hour tours, she rode the bike the whole day, she said. She called the bike an adventure for sister and brother-in-law, and loved that it let the passengers be outdoors.

“You could use it to celebrate anything,” she said. “Lincoln can always use another attraction.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

The mission: Lasso a 500-ton asteroid, place it in orbit around the moon and send astronauts to study its composition.

And the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Space, Cyber and Telecommunications Law Program is paying attention. Florida Sen. Bill Nelson, chairman of the Senate Science and Space Subcommittee, announced the $100 million NASA-led project during a budget proposal meeting last week. Though the price tag has raised concerns for many, the legalities of the mission are on the mind of the faculty and alumni of UNL’s space law program.

The mission would take place in 2019, the Associated Press reported. It will involve a robotic spaceship sent to secure the 25foot asteroid. Four astronauts would then be sent to explore the asteroid in 2021. President Barack Obama’s 2014 budget plan sets aside $78 million for the development of necessary technology to carry out the mission.

Jess i c a Tok, a 2 0 0 9 gr a duate of U N L ’ s space law program who now works for United States Strategic Command, supports the initiative.

During her time in the College of Law, she worked closely with the Association of Space Explorer’s standing committee on Near Earth Objects, or NEOs, and served as editor of the 2008 policy document, “Asteroid Threats: A Call for Global Response.” The document was then submitted to the United Nations’ Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, where it informed recommendations about locating and warning potentially hazardous NEOs. Tok cited the recently observed proximity to earth of the asteroid DA14 and the February meteor explosion over Chelyabinsk, Russia, as the impetus behind the budget request. The incidents, Tok said, “were poignant reminders that we can, and should, do something about the global threat posed by NEOs.” The proposed mission to capture and return an asteroid is a step in the right direction, Tok said.

“These efforts have been underfunded for a long time,” she said.

Tok pointed to the fact that NASA, with a budget of $18.7 billion, only allocated $20.5 million for NEO efforts in 2012.

“At this rate, it will take until 2030 to find 90 percent of the 140-meter NEOs,” Tok said. “It’s an issue of competing priorities.”

Frans von der Dunk, a professor in the space law program that currently has seven in-residence and five online students, said the program as a whole supports the NASA mission. “(The mission) is a logical follow-up to an earlier congressional decision to require NASA to discover and map asteroids of major sizes, which could potentially collide with earth,” von der Dunk said.

The next steps, he said, include studying the orbits and composition of these asteroids as

It’s that time of year again, when there is a place where knowing how to spell quinquennium comes in handy.

The 20th-annual Adult Spelling Bee will take place Tuesday night at P.O Pears, 322 S. 9th St. The spelling bee, a yearly event hosted by the Jane Pope Geske Heritage Room of Nebraska Authors, gives local word lovers a chance to show off their skills without the fear of losing to a fourth grader.

“The average person might have a tough time with the words, but it’s a pretty fun time,” said Mitch Grady, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln (sic) graduate who has taken part in the spelling bee four times.

Gerry Cox, one of the organizers of the event, said most of the contestants are from a variety of professions, between the ages of 18 and 70 and hail from Lincoln.

well as the likelihood of collision with earth. Von der Dunk believes the mission will increase understanding of these objects and perhaps even identify new materials that can be used on Earth. Though collisions with Earth are a concern that Tok and von der Dunk recognize are a reason for the mission, von der Dunk says the threat is not eminent.

“We should not lose one night of sleep over this, as there is nothing so far which poses an immediate threat,” von der Dunk said. “But knowing as far ahead as possible what might hit us would hugely enhance the changes of successful and less costly missions to deflect any risk.”

As the secretariat for the Association of Space Explorer’s Panel of Experts, the space law program has been involved in discussions and analysis regarding NEOs, said von der Dunk.

The program does not currently have any NEO-related projects, but von der Dunk said he will raise the issue of the NASA mission for students who may be interested in writing a thesis on it.

In 2008, von der Dunk published an article in “Proceedings of the International Institute of Space Law about NEOs.” He explored the legal questions surrounding the composition of the objects, something he still sees as a concern.

“If we allow private entities to take possession of NEOs and their materials for commercial purposes, that may go some way to entice private enterprise to go

out there for a combination of commercial and deflection purposes,” he said.

The NASA mission raises questions regarding the possible commercial exploitation of the asteroids. These new questions and issues, said von der Dunk, include the legal status of asteroids, the right to exploit or obtain ownership of the extracted materials and the liability as well as licensing and certification to do so.

“Currently the law is far from clear,” von der Dunk said.

Von der Dunk said the UN committee on space matters is hashing out these issues, though he wouldn’t make personal predictions about what the legal restrictions will entail.

“I can only hope soon there will be a bit more clarity as to where the UN, or more precisely member states concerned, will be going in this respect,” he said.

There are five UN treaties regarding asteroids and other NEOs, as well as many other ad hoc international treaties and agreements regarding space laws. The multiple levels of legalities can become complicated, von der Dunk admitted. It takes more than 30 hours of lecture for him to introduce it all to students.

Though complicated, the issues are something both Tok and van der Dunk are passionate about. Tok looks forward to the advancement of the NASA mission.

“It’s a really exciting thing,” she said. news@ dailynebraskan.com

His career is that of a common college professor, but his around-the-world expeditions are what truly set him apart.

He’s discovered the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail and conquered the Temple of Doom.

Oops, that’s Indiana JONES. But at UNL, there’s Indiana KAM, better known as Kam-Ching Leung, University of Nebraska-Lincoln astronomy professor.

One of Leung’s graduate students first coined the nickname. The banner the student made to christen the nickname still lines the top of Leung’s office doorway.

Students and staff in the astronomy department, Leung said, called him Indiana Kam because “they feel that I’m one of those crazy professors” like the fictional Indiana Jones.

In some respects, the two are similar. Leung, 57, takes breaks from the rigors of teaching to trek to far-off places such as New Guinea, Ecuador, China, and many of the Indonesian Islands-- too many, he said, to recall all of them.

1916 APPEALS FOR HELP FOR ARAB WOMEN

“Non-Christian systems the world overbear the most heavily on the women,” said Dr. Paul Harrison, ‘05, medical missionary to Arabia, at Y. W. C. A. vespers yesterday. “The difference between Arab men and American men is very little, for the men have a certain amount of knowledge, as a whole, but the difference between Arab women and American women is very great. They have had a hard time under Mohammedanism(“).

“Although the women are fairly contented, their development is pitiful. At 10 years of age they go into the harem; at 12 they are married, and spend the rest of their lives trying only to please their husbands. They are weak and anemic; they have no physical basis for health and happiness; they have no mental outlook, for they have never met an intelligent person in their lives; they cannot read or write. A Mohammedan women’s husband would not think of eating with her, and it would be an insult to ask him the state of his wife’s health.

A women’s life is centered in petty neighborhood gossip, and the beautiful things in life disappear in that environment.(“) —Compiled by Reece Ristau NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

cops briefs GROUP CAUGHT ATTEMPTING TO STEAL BIKES

Early Thursday morning University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police were called about a bike thief on campus. A community service officer radioed police about a bike theft after noticing three people pulling on bikes on the south side of Sandoz Residence Hall. The officer then saw one of them take a red and silver Mongoose mountain bike from the rack, police said. Officers arrived and notified those involved of the reason for the call. Austin Holloway, a freshman exploratory major, admitted to taking the bike, officers said. While talking to the group, officers then smelled alcohol. Srinath Saxena, a freshman mechanical engineering major, and Hayden Byers, a freshman management major, had bloodshot watery eyes, police said.

They admitted to drinking alcohol earlier that night, police said. Saxena had a blood-alcohol content of .010, and Byers had a BAC of .029. The two were cited and released for minor in possession and Holloway was cited for theft by unlawful taking.

The group admitted to drinking alcohol at a party earlier that night, officers said. Mathew Fernau, a non-student from Wolbach, Neb., had a BAC of .045, Derek Barleen, a non-student from St. Paul, Neb., had a BAC of .149, Laura Lehn, a sophomore pre-health major had a BAC of .094, Natalie Solis, a freshman pre-health major had a BAC of .154, and Brianna Meyer, a sophomore pre-health major had a BAC of .090. All were cited and released for criminal trespassing and MIP. In addition, Andrew Jerabek, a freshman agribusiness major, had a BAC of .099 and was cited for criminal trespassing, MIP, littering and admitted to public urination, police said. When officers made contact with the group, one student hid in the student section until officers left, police said. Officers on the following day located Trey Wojtalewicz, a freshman animal science major who admitted to being in the stadium. Wojtalewicz was cited for trespassing.

in the group.

“Once we got enough people on board, the ball started kind of to roll,” Henning said.

By the start of fall 2012, STAC was officially an RSO. Henning said the RSO Fair helped the group gain recognition with more than 100 people who signed up on the mailing list and about 45 new members.

After that, Henning said STAC “spread by word of mouth.”

But Payne and Henning needed more than just members; they needed money to start fundraisers and to pay the $400 fee to the IRS to become a nonprofit organization.

As a new group that had no financial base, Payne and Henning had to dig in their own pockets – to the tune of $1,800.

“We knew we had to get the ball rolling somehow,” Payne said.

He said he was worried about the risk because if they lost all their money, “it would be a big fallback, but it also would mean that the idea was a failure.”

Eventually they were reimbursed and started gaining donations from fundraisers such as hot chocolate and T-shirt sales. STAC sold more than 100 shirts on campus.

Alex Albers, a freshman advertising and public relations major and early member of the group, designed the T-shirts for the fundraiser to spread awareness of the group.

Albers said STAC held a “Raising Cane’s Formal” dinner on April 4, complete with musical entertainment from a capella group Roctavo, a jazz band and string quartet. The night also included a raffle and speeches from two cancer survivors.

She said the idea was Henning’s, but she never thought it would actually happen, since the idea was sort of odd. But Albers said the night was a success, as they sold about 130 tickets.

“Because the money does stay in Lincoln, I think it’s especially important that other people in Lincoln know about it so they can help their community,” Albers said.

Payne said the members have been very helpful and applied their skills to help the cause.

“I couldn’t have done it alone,” he said. “So many different people, so many intelligent people, so many passionate people have really made the experience worthwhile.”

Payne said the goal this year was to raise $2,500, but they expect to exceed that goal after a Red Mango fundraiser on April 27.

Payne and Henning said the college setting has helped the group in many ways by offering resources such as meeting rooms and help with paperwork.

Payne said he wants to donate money to a patient as soon as summer or fall. He said he and other group members hope to speak with various social workers over the summer to find underprivileged cancer patients in Lincoln. However, Payne said he hopes more people will know about STAC and patients will reach out to them.

Henning and Payne said taking the risk of starting STAC was well worth it.

“As far as making a change on campus, that’s a unique feeling that you’re not going to get anywhere else,” Henning said.

Payne said he’s glad his idea turned into something that other students can work toward.

“I really do feel like we’ll be making a difference, especially when we start making donations,” Payne said. “Hopefully people will know about us, they’ll donate to us and then we can give out money to more people.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

opinion 4 bombastic friday, april 12, 2013

bluffing? art by gabriel sanchez

U.S. should take north korean threats seriously, prepare for potential attacks on nearby areas

S

peak loudly, and carry a little stick! Wait, that’s not right. Kim Jong-un must have it all wrong.

Somebody better let him know that his plan is backward before he finds himself trapped in a corner. Oh, wait.

Well, seeing how he is running out of cards to play, what’s next? Do we take his threats seriously, or just laugh them off and pat him on the head nicely?

When Kim tells his soldiers to “break the waists of the crazy enemies, totally cut their windpipes and thus clearly show them what a real war is like,” should we think twice? Or when he promises imminent war and prepares missiles to firing position, should we take him seriously?

Quite frankly, the United States should be alarmed at what the threats signify. Now, we shouldn’t be Dick-Cheney scared and think “we’re in deep doo-doo.” Nor should we be scared of the threats at face value. Rather, we need to be alarmed at the situation these boasts put Kim Jong-un in. We’ve heard all of these bombastic claims before and we know there is little merit behind them. However, Kim Jong-un is inexperienced, naïve and backed into a corner, which makes his next steps unpredictable and potentially dangerous.

As a young leader, it’s not surprising to find Kim Jong-un trying to solidify his place as the leader of North Korea by means of supporting the military and casting the nation’s annual threats toward the United States and South Korea. Instead of focusing on infrastructure and the nation’s economy, Kim Jong-un concentrated on building nuclear weapons and threatening foreign nations.

He needed to make his presence known in his newly appointed position as the Supreme Leader of North Korea, and that is how he chose to do so.

According to CNN, “James R. Clapper, director of U.S. national intelligence, said the United States believes the primary objective of Kim’s bellicose rhetoric is to ‘consolidate and affirm his power’ and to show he is ‘in control of North Korea.’”

Furthermore, “Clapp e r said that he

doesn’t think Kim ‘has much of an endgame’ other than to get recognition from the world as a nuclear power which ‘entitles him to negotiation, accommodation and, presumably, aid.’”

Well, once again Kim has things backward. As far as aid goes, the United States stops nearly all aid going to North Korea whenever it works on its nuclear program. Aid goes from millions of dollars’ worth to hardly anything at all. In fact, the United States’ aid to North Korea dropped substantially in 2006 and 2009 after it conducted nuclear tests during both years. Now, little aid has been given to the North Korean population for the past two years as tensions rise. Even China, North Korea’s strongest ally, has agreed to tighter sanctions amid the rising threats. Seems like using nuclear threats is really getting North Korea the aid it wants.

As far as future negotiations with a hypothetically nuclear North Korea, using threats of nuclear attack won’t get them what they want. It will only increase tension and stir up animosity between nations.

So what’s the danger in all of this? As Clapper suggested, Kim Jong-un doesn’t have much of an end game. According to commander, Adm. Samuel J. Locklear, “His fa-

defenses in South Korea and nearby bases, but not make a show out of it. The U.S. is already disdained by many in the world community for being a universal “police force.”

Any preemptive measures will only weaken our ties with other nations, and it would justify the North Korean cause. However, we need to be ready for an attack at any time and continue to prevent North Korea from pursuing its nuclear missile development.

All in all, t h e

ther and his grandfather, as far as I can see, always figured into their provocation cycle an ‘off ramp’ …

And it’s not clear to me that he has thought through how to get out of it. And so that’s what makes this scenario, I think, particularly challenging.”

Also, he has set a precedent he won’t be able to achieve.

Kim Jong-un has talked such a big game that he might only have two options. Either he can appear cowardly with his empty threats, or he can follow through and commit an act of war. Not to sound Machiavellian, but the prior option will probably result with instability in maintaining his ruling position, if not an eventual coup.

The second option is what we should be worried about.

However, this doesn’t mean we need to fear invasion or nuclear warheads hitting

American soil.

What we need to fear is an attack on South Korea or any of our allies and military bases within missile striking distance.

To our knowledge, North Korea doesn’t have the technology to hit the continental U.S. with a rocket. If they tried, we already have interceptors in place to shoot down any hostile launch, and the world knows who would end up on top in the ensuing fight.

The most likely course of action will be an attack on South Korea or nearby American bases. This will be done to scale down the size of the attack, yet still validate Kim Jong-un’s threats and entitlement to power. An attack on American soil would immediately turn a whole nation and its allies against North Korea. An attack on a military base in another country would realistically result in a standoffish aggression toward North Korea, but not an “all-out” war.

So what should the United States do? We should simply build up our

Korea will be able to regain weakened alliances with eastern Asian nations and vindicate military actions.

North Korea has hated us for a while now because of our assertiveness. This passion dates

threats coming from Kim Jong-un shouldn’t cause alarm in and of themselves. We should be alarmed at the situation he is putting himself in.

Like an animal trapped in a corner, the Supreme Leader of North Korea has very few options left, and to go down swinging is an often glorified, yet fatal course of action.

Sooner or later, he will be forced to follow through on one of his threats or face his people as a weak leader who can’t follow up on promises. I feel that it will be the prior.

t h e m worse. Is this all part of North Korea’s war games, or are they really going to follow through?

Although the situation is still murky, the United States government shouldn’t have to put up with this trash talk because that’s really all it is: trash talk.

These threats are simply war games but without Matthew Broderick. North Korea will continue to provoke our government, but they wouldn’t dare attack. Their main goal is to provoke the United States into attacking them so all of their future attacks against American allies or interests can be rightfully justified. This is the main reason why the United States should stand firm and avoid all military action, disregarding these threats. If the United States responds aggressively, North

back to our involvement in the Korean War in the 1950s. Through our relationship with South Korea, North Korea has hated all countries that despise their “great leader.”

During the past couple of years we have seen the rogue missile tests and the threats toward national security, but has North Korea ever acted on it?

Back in 1968, after an armistice had been signed over a decade earlier, North Korea took the personnel on the U.S.’s intelligence gathering ship, the U.S.S Pueblo, hostage.

Later, they took out an American reconnaissance plane in 1969 where 31 Americans died. Other than these provocations, there have been no conflicts and there will continue to be no conflicts – especially with a new leader who hardly knows what he’s doing.

Kim Jong-un is inexperienced.

The new “dear leader,” has been fed North Korean propaganda since he was a child and this is taking a huge role in his relationship

with the United States. His time as a military general has left him with a strong sense of patriotism and pride. He can certainly talk the talk about North Korea as the best country in the world. He can tell off American diplomats, but his military hasn’t seen extensive action for more than 50 years, making Kim Jong-un inexperienced and hesitant toward conflict. Along with those characteristics, he is power-thirsty, arrogant and naive.

Hypothetically, if North Korea were to attack, any actions he may accomplish will be poorly executed and will most likely fail. This, of course, will be followed by complete military intervention by the U.S. that will leave North Korea hurting badly.

North Korea, as told by their government, has a pretty sizeable army and is full of nuclear weapons. Though they say they have proof of a large quantity of standing men and weapons, are they quality?

There is much skepticism right now about how far North Korean missiles can go. Although they have a definite possibility to hit South Korea or Japan, it is still unsure if the missiles can hit Hawaii or Guam.

North Korea, as always, never blatantly reveals the potential of their weapons, which can either prove that they are technologically advanced or the resources needed to launch a weapon are scarce. Whatever technology they possess, North Korea is still waiting for the United States to intervene in order to prove to their old allies how intrusive the United States really is.

But with threats like these, not only is the United States getting frustrated with North Korea’s empty rhetoric, but even their closest and strongest ally is getting annoyed.

China, which helped the north during the Korean War, is ready to jump ship with all of North Korea’s games. According to BBC News, China’s President, Xi Jinping, said, “No one should be allowed to throw a region and even the whole world into chaos for selfish gains.”

It appears their strongest ally is re c o n s i d e r i n g their position to supply aid to North Korea.

Countries that once aligned themselves with North Korea are now cutting ties. Without help and any sense of backing, it will certainly create more pressure on North Korea not to cause too much of a stir, unless they want the United Nations to intervene more than they already have.

North Korea is only looking for attention. Although these threats should be taken into consideration and prepared for, they are simply playing all the cards they can to place fear into the United States to provoke war. It is a difficult thing to discern whether or not Kim Jong-un will act on these empty threats, but if he does, the United States, along with other nations, will certainly be ready to intervene and restore peace.

Let’s just hope Matthew Broderick isn’t a part of this.

Future of comedy looks split between off-thewall humor, darkness From ‘Louie’ to ‘Portlandia,’ source of tomorrow’s laughs seems unpredictable

Cameron Mount Laughter – perhaps the most obvious and automatic measure of how much someone enjoys a movie – makes comedy one of the more interesting film genres to study.

The Marx Brothers and classics like “Airplane” prove that quality humor transcends generations, but trends and shifts tell us a lot about the finer points that separate one era from another.

What is so new or different in today’s world? Seth MacFarlane was more crass at this year ’s

Academy Awards than any host before him. The FX series “Louie” is darker and deeper than any sitcom, and shows like “Community” add layers upon layers to that format. “Adventure Time” gives morality to absurdity, while Jimmy Fallon, the rising star of late night, makes awkwardness a necessity rather than a flaw.

In a world of comedy that looks so different than only a decade ago, is it possible to tell why? More than that, can we tell where it’s headed?

Looking at the top box office for 2012 comedies, the changes aren’t so striking. “Ted” has a direct line to “Family Guy,” an ADHD derivative of “The Simpsons.” “Men in Black 3” was so ’90s it seemed out of place, succeeding on nostalgia alone. The only clue comes from “21 Jump Street,” which plays almost com-

o matter how sore and exhausted their bodies end up being, something about crossing the finish line at the end of marathon keeps runners coming back.

This May marks the 36th-annual Lincoln Marathon and University of Nebraska-Lincoln students and alumni have been training for months to prepare.

David Bunker, a junior biological systems engineering major, has been running for as long as he can remember.

He said he grew up in a running family and participated in track in junior high and high school.

“Lately it’s just kind of been a goal to keep my health up, keep in shape, and it’s (the marathon) long enough that I’ll have enough motivation to get out and running,” Bunker said.

Training for marathons usually start a few months before the run date. Throughout training, runners slowly add a mile to their run each week leading up to the race.

But beyond the obligatory millage, each runner has his or her own style of training.

Ashley Kumpla, a UNL alumnus, first started to run longer distances after high school, but since that time her workout habits have changed, especially where music is concerned.

“It was an easy way to keep my mind off the miles passing by because it seemed tougher back then, but now I prefer to run without music,” she said. “I find it more peaceful to not have music while training.”

Lauren Larson, a sophomore psychology major, uses her time running to expel any stress. Larson said she also tends to think about school projects and she uses the time to brainstorm ideas for clubs or her sorority. Most of the time, anyway.

“Then a lot of times I’m thinking ‘run faster, so you can be done faster,’” Larson said.

Some students also find it helpful to run with friends.

Shawn Zajicek, a junior dietetics and nutrition exercise and health sciences major, trained for the past two Lincoln half marathons with the company of other runners and is training for her first full marathon with a friend, as well. Zajicek said motivation to run and finish strong is a big benefit of running with friends.

“It’s really nice to have a person who will go out and run 20 miles with me and someone who can go the entire distance and keep up with my pace,” she said.

Training for a marathon has proven to be time consuming for student runners. Balancing time between fitting in a run, homework and jobs or internships has become a challenging task. Larson and Smith said it was easier to train as freshmen when their course loads were not as intense.

“You really have to make time,” Larson said. “You have to be very, very dedicated to what you’re doing.”

Alexis Woita, a junior special education and elementary education major, said she tries to fit in a workout whenever she can. If she has a spare half hour, she takes that time to do strength training.

“I don’t run everyday; it’s not the end of the world,” Woita said. “But I try to get in something.”

Many runners start out participating in marathons by doing the half marathon. Zajicek decided to move up to the full marathon because she said felt she could’ve done better in the half.

“I just know that I could’ve been in much better shape and I wanted to prove to myself and working harder than last time by having a plan I could be diligent with having workouts in and eating healthy diet,” she said.

After finishing two half marathons, Kumpla said she wanted to see how far she could go past the 13-mile mark.

“The full (marathon) seemed like the next logical step and I’d like to continue challenge myself,” Kumpla said.

After running their first-ever race, Bunker, Larson, Zajicek, Woita and Kumpla said they were overcome with a sense of accomplishment. But physical pain left its mark, as well.

“It sucked, but it was awesome,” Smith said. “I was super sore. Finishing and knowing that you did it was really

Artist champions perspectives of Native women Casey Kettler DN Some lines between genres and forms were made to be crossed.

Joy Harjo, a poet, musician, author and playwright, blends her mediums as she blends her styles. She will be performing Friday evening at the Sheldon Museum of Art, singing and playing saxophone with guitarist Larry Mitchell.

“Defining her art is challenging because she’s such a spiritual person,” said Jerry Renaud, a professor in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s College of Journalism and Mass Communication. “I don’t know if she’d say that, but she seems to see things that others don’t see. It’s not just the perspective of one person: Her lyrics are often mystical, yet down to earth.”

Harjo draws on her Muscogee (Creek) heritage in all of her art, and her honesty is what draws in journalism graduate student Princella Parker.

‘Trance’ hinges on hypnotic complexity

“Trance,” the latest film from Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle, opens Friday at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center. andrew larsen dn Danny Boyle is the rare director who makes movies pleasing both to the eye and the mind.

In his mesmerizing films like “Shallow Grave,” “Trainspotting,” “Slumdog Millionaire” and “127 Hours,” he mixes style and substance to create authentic, lasting experiences.

Unfortunately, his latest film “Trance” is 101 minutes of pure adrenaline with meager impact to show for it, leaving the viewer no time to digest what just flashed across the screen.

“Trance” feels as if it’s Boyle’s – and writers Joe Ahearne and John Hodge’s – take on an “Inception” thriller. It’s chock full of

interconnecting realities, an unreliable narrator and a disjointed, shifting chronology.

It starts out with a truly thrilling, visceral art theft that uses Boyle’s trademark quick cuts and pulsating soundtrack to perfection. Simon (James McAvoy) works for the gallery where the painting is stolen and suffers a traumatic head wound during the ordeal. This happens after uttering one of the film’s most memorable lines; “No piece of art is worth a human life.”

From there, we assume we’ll be getting an “Ocean’s” type film where we try to figure out who stole the painting and why, but that idea is quickly dispatched as we meet Frank (Vincent Cassel) and his three brutish associates.

It turns out Simon is caught up in gambling debt, fell in with the wrong crowd and was forced to use his insider information to lure Frank and company in to steal the painting and split the profits. It sounds like this disclosure is giving away a major plot point, but all this is revealed within the first 20 minutes, which shows just how complex and difficult the story becomes.

After Simon’s head injury and subsequent surgery, he can’t remember anything, which is rather important because Frank really, really wants to know what happened to the painting and why it wasn’t in the bag they stole from Simon. Even though the painting is all anyone’s been talking about, it’s really just a MacGuffin to in-

troduce us to Dr. Elizabeth Lamb, (Rosario Dawson) hypnotist extraordinaire.

Lamb’s job is to restore Simon’s memories on the day of the accident to remember where he put the painting, but we know, of course, it’s never that easy.

Dawson and MacAvoy have great chemistry together in their roles as trance inducer and trance inducee. The longer the film goes on, the more it unravels its own many threads and it’s there that their chemistry becomes even more sadly profound.

McAvoy’s thick Scottish accent and sly grins toward the camera, as he’s narrating in tight pointof-view shots, are reminiscent of Boyle’s earlier, less polished work with Ewan McGregor. And

McAvoy conveys the smarmy yet charming rogue well, but the real standout here is Dawson.

Boyle constantly puts her in soft, angelic lighting and lets the camera linger on her beauty. She certainly uses her beauty to her advantage, but it’s her cunning guile that takes over in the end.

Both Dawson and McAvoy are tasked with showing us believable parts of their characters early in the film that will be either affirmed or contradicted later when the inundation of twists begin, which is a sign of high-quality acting.

“Trance” is an entertaining film that aims high, but ultimately falls short of its goals. There are a few tremendous performances, solid action set pieces and typically smart camera work from Boyle, but the film wants to be all that plus an epic love story and contemporary noir, and it just can’t quite reach that level. arts@ dailynebraskan.com on twitter @dnartsdesk

In 2009, the first iteration of a Native Daughters publication came out, a magazine that illustrated the lives of Native Americans from tribes in Nebraska. This time around, the focus is on tribes from Oklahoma, like the Muscogee. Content will be uploaded on a continuing basis to the website, while the release of the magazine and an hour-long documentary will happen sometime in early 2014.

Parker and Jenna Jaynes are working together on a profile of Harjo for the documentary, and are looking forward to using footage of Friday’s concert in the project.

“We needed a video of Harjo doing what she loved,” Jaynes said. “But (the concert) will also be a great way to raise awareness for Native Daughters and for the large local Native American community.”

“I think it’s really good for younger Native American girls to see an accomplished national – and international – artist, like Joy Harjo, because it’s inspirational,” White Hawk Strong said.

Native Daughters focuses on the lives of Native American women to attempt to remedy the hundreds of years of their media invisibility, Parker said.

“The average person hears about Native Americans from the late 1800s,” Parker said. “Females haven’t had recognition before. If you grabbed a random stack of books about Native Americans,

99.9 percent of them would be about men.”

Harjo was an obvious choice for the project because of her success in different fields, Parker said, but although she works in multiple mediums and across styles, Parker is reluctant to call Harjo ‘unique.’

“She hasn’t lived your aver-

age life,” said Parker. “But I think many Native American women have shared some of her experiences. She’s not the voice of Native American women, but she is a ‘unique’ voice insofar as you rarely hear about women doing all of these things.”

In this vein, Native Daughters and Harjo’s purposes collude.

Harjo’s work attempts to impart some of what it is like to be a Native American woman, Jaynes said.

Jaynes mentioned “A Poem to Get Rid of Fear,” as a favorite Harjo work.

“It’s nerve racking to put yourself out there, even just doing interviews, but when she sings

‘release your beautiful and terrible fear,’ you just wanna go out and conquer the world,” Jaynes said.

“More than anything, the show is a chance to open your horizons to a new perspective,” Parker said. arts@ dailynebraskan.com

toward the fantastic that has only just been explored.

Shows like “Portlandia,” “Comedy Bang Bang!” and “Adventure Time” have made absurdity more popular, but they’re extensions of old ideas: “The Ben Stiller Show” and “The Dana Carvey Show” were able to play around with more off-the-wall ideas than “Saturday Night Live,” and more recent shows have fine-tuned their absurdity.

As technology has improved, that absurdic.k. ty has manifested more seamlessly, all while the Apatow/Smith approach has increasingly darkened comedy’s realism. This most clearly comes together in “Louie,” which takes confessional Woody Allen and adds a dose of Apatow’s philosophical side.

At the same time, Louis C.K.’s character has his car inexplicably

smashed and he traverses a latenight universe helmed by David Lynch. He tinkers with an absurdism that rarely shows up in popular television.

It’s this paradox that makes the future of comedy so difficult to pin down. Almost surely, it will play with the balance between dark realism and fantastical optimism in new ways. Animation, too, has only skimmed the surface of what’s to come. While “South Park” broke down some of the expectation of animated social commentary and extremism, and “Adventure Time” takes the format to an absurd extreme, the middle grounds have only been hinted at.

Though impossible to know the future, today’s media gives us some good inferences: Expect tomorrow’s comedy to tinker with today’s innovations in more realistic, more layered and sharper ways than ever.

In many ways, we’re still feeling the effects of “Clerks.” Sure, Smith’s predilection for oversized hockey jerseys and jorts and an almost striking lack of growth hardly makes him the hero we want (though he’s probably the one we deserve.) But “Clerks” was so low-budget and such a sensation, that it stays a vivid example of changes that were going on industry-wide.

Apatow was working on “The Larry Sanders Show” in 1993 and “Clerks” was released in 1994, so it’s safe the say the two influenced each other and that each were influenced by a larger trend toward realism and character-driven

comedy. Four of the clearest commercial hits of the last decade – 2004’s “Napolean Dynamite,” 2005’s “Wedding Crashers,” 2007’s “Juno” and 2009’s “The Hangover” – can be largely tied back to Apatow and Smith.

Of course, comedy didn’t begin and end here. 2006’s “Borat” featured sharp and revealing political commentary while shocking audiences like no other recent comedy. Though short-lived in its inimitability, and mockumentaries (or even shockumentaries – looking at you, “Man Bites Dog”) are nothing new, it’s the clearest big-screen example of relevant and biting comedy for the Jackass generation. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert surely emerged out of some of the same frustrations.

Though ‘90s satires like “Citizen Ruth” or “Bob Roberts” are ex-

cellent films, the current political climate has made today’s rhetoric sharper, more direct and often more extreme.

Speaking of sharp, “Shaun of the Dead” and “Black Dynamite” are comedies without many equals but surely deserving of consideration.

Upturning their genres (zombie and blaxploitation, respectively), their filmmakers had enough perspective to pay homage where it’s louis due. They also come with a heightened sensitivity to the craft that has since led to more layered and complex parodies like “Cabin in the Woods” and “Seven Psychopaths.”

When the race was over, the runners took breaks from training, but found their way back to participating in the marathon.

“The training took a toll and I wasn’t really excited about doing any other running after that,” Bunker said. “But obviously I’m doing another one, so my motivation has returned.”

Larson collapsed at the finish line of her first marathon. She had been experiencing hip problems, but said that pain can take many forms: some of which should be fought.

“My coach in high school really taught me to know the difference between real pain and an excuse,” Larson said. “So I guess I just pushed through it. It was something that I also loved to do.

Pushing myself to go forward in something that I love is always a good thing.”

The competitors said that fun runs, like the Color Run and Warrior Dash are a good way to get people interested in running for competition, personal or otherwise.

Woita, Zajicek and Kumpla said that anyone could be a runner as long as the time and energy committed feels worth it.

“I ... think it’s a really big accomplishment for anyone that does it,” Smith said. arts@ dailynebraskan.com on twitter @dnartsdesk

of the

GIMME 5: Summer Living Arrangements Five places to take up residence this summer.

week

If the schizophrenic, winky humor of “Wet Hot American Summer” and “Stella” aren’t your speed, just stop reading here.

But if you occasionally invest in the insane satirical feast of a Ken Marino, Rob Corddry or David Wain, then consider “Childrens Hospital” a bag of Skittles. Picked up by Adult Swim in 2009, “Childrens Hospital” is parcelled into tenminute episodes, which spoof every popular doctor show from “General Hospital” to “ER” to “Scrubs” to “House.”

And “spoof,” here, is meant to be used to roughly. The show doesn’t so much parody those programs in a traditional sense as it swallows them whole, digests every TV doctor cliche (hospital affairs, voiceovers, agonizing medical decisions), and then just spews them back

courtesy photo you’ll like Adam Scott dressed in full Klingon regalia and just yelling.

With “Childrens Hospital,” come for the cameos and pop culture chaos.

Stay because you’re holding your splitting side and bewildered head at the same time.

at the audience like Abed Nadir having a seizure.

In this way it’s entirely unambitious, but this carpetbombing style of comedy makes the show successful on volume alone. If you didn’t like that random naked person running through the background, maybe

1.

In an apartment downtown.

Lincoln’s full of these bad boys. Go to your favorite restaurant downtown. Look above it – there’s probably an apartment up there, and even better, you could live there! With other people! All in one place! Even Jimmy John’s has apartments above it. Freaky fast? More like freaky fun.

2.

In the residence halls.

Some of the dorms, like Selleck, offer rooms for students looking to continue their educations, even when they’re not supposed to. If you live here, you’re a dork and you’re going to be bored. I lived in one last year. I was a dork. It was a dark time, but I got through it with books and old “X-Files” reruns.

3.

At home.

This is a real bad option and you should probably skip to the next alternative. Home offers a few luxuries, like cheap living and pets that may or may not remember you, but it also offers the chance for your neighbors to see you and talk to you about school, and I think we both know how awful talking to other people is.

4.

On the streets.

Being homeless in Lincoln probably isn’t that bad. You can just hang out in the Union until they force you out every night, which is basically like working at the Daily Nebraskan. Not to mention it’ll give you a good reason to grow that beard your father always warned you about.

5.

Off the land.

Is there a better state to do this in? All around us is fertile soil, just waiting to be tilled and jiggled and other farming things. You get the advantage of eating whatever you want and knowing you can be sustained by the sweat of your own brow. Good luck with the actual foodmaking process, though. I have no idea how to do that part. compiled by tyler keown | arts@dailynebraskan.com

Men’s Golf

Golfers will attempt to rebound from worst performance of season in Iowa After shooting 920 a week ago, Nebraska is hungry to reinvent itself this weekend Zach Tegler DN A week after its worst finish of the season, the Nebraska men’s golf team will look to rebound at this weekend’s Hawkeye-Great River Entertainment Invitational in Iowa City, Iowa – the Huskers’ final event before the Big Ten Championships in two weeks.

“I think it’s really important that we play good this week,” Nebraska junior Manuel Lavin said.

“Because it’s going to help us be ready for the Big Ten Conference.”

The Huskers shot a seasonworst of 920 in their last event – the Arkansas State Red Wolf Intercollegiate – en route to an 18th place finish.

In their previous five tournaments, they never placed worse than 10th out of 18 teams.

Lavin said he and his teammates may have put too much pressure on themselves heading into the event in Arkansas.

“It could’ve been just because the field wasn’t quite as strong as the previous tournaments,” Nebraska coach Bill Spangler said.

“We beat a lot better teams previous to that, and then we played so poorly and lost to some weak teams.”

Lavin, fellow junior Matt Record, seniors Neil Dufford and Jordan Reinerston and freshman

Kolton Lapa will try to recapture some of Nebraska’s lost momentum when the tournament begins with 36 holes Saturday. Lavin said the Huskers need to stay more patient than they did the last time out.

“Those 36-hole days are really, really long,” he said. “So if you have a rough spot, you have a lot of holes to recover.”

Spangler said his team putted as badly as it had all season in Arkansas and that improvement in that facet of the game will be crucial at Finkbine Golf Course this weekend.

“It’s a pretty old style, traditional golf course,” Spangler said.

“Putting is a key there. It has big greens with a lot of undulation, and so if we can hit a lot of greens in regulation and hopefully putt

better, we should be OK.” He added that his players also have room to improve with their ball-striking, and that poor weather could factor into their performance this weekend.

“It could be pretty nasty, so we have to just play within ourselves and accept the bad weather and do the best we can,” Spangler said.

Big Ten opponents Iowa, Michigan State, Minnesota, Penn State and Wisconsin are in the 12-team field. Lavin said this weekend could give him and his teammates a preview of the conference championships in French Lick, Ind. “We’re facing a couple Big Ten teams, so it’s just going to get us the feel of how it’s going to be next week,” he said. “It’s going to be cold and windy, and probably

Those 36-hole days are really long, so if you have a rough spot, you have a lot of chances to recover.”

Manuel lavin junior golfer

Indiana’s going to be the same thing, so it’s going to help us to get us ready for Big Ten.” After a poor showing in their last outing, the Huskers find it even more vital to regain momentum with the postseason looming.

“It’s a little more important than it was previously, just because we played so poorly in Arkansas,”

Spangler said. “We want to get a little bit back to how we were playing before the Arkansas State tournament because we were playing well and we beat some highly ranked teams, and we’d like to get that confidence back.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com

Husker pitcher Tatum Edwards winds up at Bowlin Stadium. Edwards and freshman Emily Lockman have thrown the majority of the innings this season for Nebraska.

In the circle, the Badgers have three pitchers with an ERA below 1.75. Wisconsin leads the league with a 1.55 ERA and has the most stolen bases with 75 so far on the season. The team also ranks second in the conference in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. Its defense is currently third in the Big Ten with a .966 fielding percentage.

On Nebraska’s side, Thomason leads the Big Ten with the most all-time RBIs with 153 – a statistic that would give her the school record at Michigan State, Penn State, Purdue and this week-

end’s opponent, Wisconsin.

Pitching this weekend for the Huskers are junior Tatum Edwards and freshman Emily Lockman. Edwards is undefeated in her career at Bowlin Stadium while Lockman has the best ERA of any qualifying freshman in the country at 1.35.

Nebraska also owns the alltime series with the Badgers, owning an 8-1 record that includes the series last year where the Huskers won two out of three.

Track team looks for personal bests Nebraska quad gives Huskers first chance to get outdoors

Tennis player Patricia Veresova returns a shot. The Huskers play Michigan and Michigan State this weekend.

Tennis team makes trip to Michigan for pair of matches Michigan State, Michigan lie ahead for Nebraska this weekend staff report dn The Nebraska women’s tennis team will road trip to Michigan on Friday for Big Ten matches against Michigan and Michigan State.

The Huskers are ranked No. 12 in the nation and are looking to add a few more wins to their 20122013 season record this weekend.

Saturday’s match is expected to showcase fierce competition between the Huskers and Wolverines. The Big Ten competitor is ranked No. 7, just a few spots ahead of the Huskers. Competition is set to start at 11 a.m. in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Michigan is stacked. Not only is it a top-10 team, but it has four women ranked in doubles. At the No. 45 position sits Michigan’s up-and-coming pair Ronit Yurovsky and Sarah Lee. The Wolverines also showcase the second-

best doubles team in the country, Brooke Bolender and Emina Bektas. The accomplished pair will be No. 6 Patricia Veresova and Mary Weatherholt’s biggest challenge this season.

As both Veresova and Weatherholt have said before, they must take each match not expecting to win it, but must do their personal best to be successful. This couldn’t be more accurate for their upcoming match against the Wolverines No. 2 duo.

Not far down the road, Sunday’s match will be held in East Lansing, Mich. at noon as the Huskers face the Michigan State Spartans. The Spartans are currently unranked but will be competition nonetheless.

Two days of Big Ten competition means two days of opportunity for the Huskers to advance in rankings. There will also be opportunities to play against teams that they will see in the upcoming Big Ten tournament. The 20122013 season is nearing an end, but for now as it always has, the team looks to the future but competes for the day. sports@ dailynebraskan.com

T

he Huskers may be closer to the top of the Big Ten standings than their opponent this weekend – Ohio State – but the Buckeyes have locked in three weekend starters – something Nebraska has failed to do through roughly two months of baseball.

Ohio State will roll out Brad Goldberg, Brian King and Jaron

Long on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, respectively. It’s been that way all season. The trio has started on each of the season’s first eight weekends, and it has been effective, according to Nebraska coach Darin Erstad.

“Their opponent’s batting average is pretty low, so obviously they are doing something right,” Erstad said. “We’ve seen a couple of their guys, and they have some

new guys, so at the end of the day, they have some arms.”

Goldberg (1.85), King (2.63) and Long (2.65) combine for a 2.41 ERA, and the whole Buckeye staff only allows 2.35 earned runs per nine innings. Pitching has been a strength for team this season, making up for a team batting average of .270. Erstad said his team won’t be fazed by the strong Ohio State staff.

We’ve prepped our team to face any type of pitcher and see where it goes.”

Huskers look to keep pace in conference race, win series NU opens 6-game home stand with series against Wisconsin Josh Kelly dn This weekend, the Nebraska softball team begins a six-game home stand at Bowlin Stadium with a three-game series against Big Ten opponent Wisconsin. The Huskers are currently No. 18 while Wisconsin just dropped out of the rankings last week and are No. 26 in the country.

Nebraska is 28-8 on the year and 6-2 in Big Ten play, which puts them third in the conference standings.

The softball squad is coming off of a weekend at Iowa where it took two of three matchups after suffering a loss in the opening game with the Hawkeyes. Like most of the team, after the first loss last weekend, senior Brooke Thomason kept her composure to help fuel a series win.

“We were looking forward to a tough fight, and that’s what we got,” she said.

Thomason went 4-for-7 in last season’s series against Wisconsin, including two doubles and three RBIs. For Wisconsin, the Badgers
