dam Hintz isn’t going down without a fight.

The environmental activist and owner of Meadowlark Coffee and Espresso has been protesting and raising awareness about various issues for years, including the Keystone XL pipeline.

“I feel like my main role as the owner of a coffee shop is to connect community more to itself,” Hintz said. “I just do as much as I can to gather support around things are that important, like protecting the Ogallala Aquifer and the Sandhills, our water sources too. Just to have this hub and to have this space where people can come together and talk about things and get some stuff done because, for a long time, Lincoln never had a place, I felt, that was very activist-focused. It’s something that was very needed, a place that was known for its activism, a place just to go.”

Nature and wilderness have been important to Hintz for years. Prior to owning Meadowlark, Hintz worked at The Coffee House, where he said he realized the need for a gathering Environmental activist and owner of Meadowlark Coffee and Espresso Adam Hintz stands in place for activism and environmen- the coffee shop he opened on Earth Day in 2005.

Charles Mitchell teaches new members of Community CROPS about growing plants in North Lincoln. Community CROPS is an organization that fosters gardens throughout the city to help Lincolnites learn about growing plants and vegetables.

Community CROPS grows relationships with land, soil The organization promotes community gardens and organicfarming education madeline christensen dn For some, a garden is more than just a patch of soil. It’s a family activity, a healthy alternative, a memory of home or simply an escape from dayto-day life. Community CROPS is here to give the people of Lincoln a little piece of Earth of their own.

Community CROPS (Combining Resources, Opportunities, and People for Sustainability) began in 2003 with one community garden in the Lincoln area.

Ingrid Kirst took over as executive director of the organization in the summer of 2005 after volunteering with the local gardening movement.

“Community CROPS was just a bunch of people who came together and decided that having a garden would be a good social statement about how people can grow their own food,” Kirst said.

With a community garden, Lincoln would benefit not only from the access to locally grown vegetables but with educational opportunities, community growth and the use of gardening as an outlet for spiritual

and physical well-being.

Now entering the 2013 growing season, Community CROPS has expanded to 15 gardens with over 600 individual sites, benefitting a diverse group of Lincoln residents and families, Kirst said.

Community CROPS also places a lot of importance on educating the young people of Lincoln as well as anyone with an interest in gardening and growing their own food.

The Mickle Middle School Young Farmers Program encourages and helps students who want to start a business growing and selling vegetables. Community CROPS supported Mickle’s urban garden, which gave the gardening club an emphasis on crops and farming.

“So many kids don’t know where their food comes from and don’t know very much about vegetables,” Kirst said. “It’s a chance for them to learn about the potato that you dig up out of the ground, or we’ve had kids that didn’t know that a pickle was a cucumber. The more people know about vegetables and where their food comes from, the better they’re going to eat, and the more they’ll think about the environment.”

Other classes taught by Community CROPS staff focus on topics from gardening, cooking and composting to more specific skills

i

t may be dead week, but that won’t stop the celebration of sustained life on Earth.

The Association of Students of the University of Nebraska’s Environmental Sustainability Committee is hosting Focus Nebraska, a five-day series of educational and entertainment events about the environment and its inhabitants. Kicking off Monday and running through Friday, Focus Nebraska was created to raise awareness and bring people together.

“When I first began thinking about this event three years ago, my vision was that it will one day become something that unites Nebraska around this issue,” said Matan Gill, committee chair and senior construction management major. “It will gradually become more of people coming together throughout the state to work about these issues; people from the public sector, private corporations, students, young children, adults, you know, people from all walks of life to really come and say, ‘What do we hope to do in Nebraska?’”

An Earth Day Block Party on Union Plaza will run from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Monday. Various Registered Student Organizations will have sustainability displays, such as cooking recipes, hunting and archery demonstrations, kite-flying and crafting from reusable materials.

“We’re trying to involve different RSOs and different clubs on that day,” Gill said. “So, really, we’re bringing everybody together to strut their stuff and show what they’ve been working on and celebrate their achievements in sustainability.”

Vivian Nguyen, Focus Nebraska project leader and junior environmental studies major, wants the occasion to have a large presence on campus.

“This year we just want big visual things that we don’t really have to invite people to,” Nguyen said. “They’ll just come out to the plaza or greenspace and see it, and, hopefully, they will be intrigued and come talk to us or go read the posters or whatever will be out there.”

When it came to some of the bigger attractions, Focus Nebraska was held back in previous years by organizational issues, Nguyen said.

“Last year we just threw things together and were like, ‘Yeah let’s do this,’” Nguyen said. “But this year we started working on it earlier, so we had a better development of all the events.”

The early effort allowed the committee to secure Wildlife Encounters, an organization that presents exotic assortments of animals and involves the audience in the performance. Last year, the Environmental Sustainability Committee attempted to get Wildlife Encounters, but insurance and legal issues prevented the appearance, Gill said.

Nguyen has seen a Wildlife Encounters performance before. It sometimes includes animals such as a 13-foot python and lemurs, he said.

“They’re connecting people with wildlife because, right now, living in the city, all we see are squirrels and robins,” Nguyen said.

“So they’ll be coming in to talk about endangered species and how we can help them.”

The week itself is centered around the idea of helping people help their environment and coming together to achieve sustainable goals.

“It’s important that we’re able to support and provide education to students that are doing this sort of stuff around the state,” Gill said. “We want to build networks of strong student leaders where we collaborate and work together rather than work separately.”

One of the more collaborative efforts comes in the form of the Arbor Day Tree Planting ceremony, an event that closes out Focus Nebraska and allows students to get their hands dirty.

“A part of sustainability is about giving back to the community. Friday is the tree-planting ceremony, and, yeah, it can be hard work,” Nguyen said. “It takes a while and a couple people just to plant one tree, but in the end, you know you’re doing something good for the community and the environment. And, when you have the connection of, ‘Oh, I planted that tree,’ and you walk by it everyday, it just gives you a good feeling.”

Giving back to the community and the environment is important because all people are involved in it in some fashion, Nguyen said.

“Sustainability is something that affects all of us, which, you know, some people don’t see it as that, but it is something that affects everyone,” Nguyen said. “It’s not always just about being a steward of the environment. A lot of it is good for your wallet or good for your house.”

The consequences of human action on Earth will be discussed throughout the week. Informational projects about oil spills, consumables and trash, as well as a presentation by Graham Hill, the keynote speaker who will be sharing innovative methods for living a life with a smaller carbon footprint, make up much of Focus Nebraska’s approach, Nguyen said.

“I think that it’s important for people to realize that they’re not a different part of the environment,” Nguyen. “They are a part of the environment, so everything that we do affects us as well as the environment. It’s also important to think globally but act locally, which is why we think Focus Nebraska is important. We don’t do scare tactics like, ‘Oh, climate change! We’re all doomed.’ It’s like, you have a responsibility. We’re all a part of the same community, and it’s our responsibility to protect and make the university better on an individual basis.” arts@ dailynebraskan.com on twitter @dnartsdesk

Casey VanZandt and his wife Sasha were walking by campus and heard the sound from the drums echoing off UNL’s buildings. He said he and his wife had met in New Mexico, where they frequently attended powwows, and this event brought back fond memories.

Casey VanZandt believed the powwow was a great way to honor diversity and the way people celebrate, while Sasha, originally from Russia, added that it was a way for Native students to take pride in their culture.

Ashley Bolton, a sophomore animal science major, came to the powwow for the second grand entry at 6 p.m. Until Saturday, she had only seen powwows in videos during her Native American studies class.

“It’s amazing,” Bolton said. “It’s definitely a diverse and multicultural experience.”

Bolton appreciated that a powwow was held to honor graduates, offering those honored a connection to their culture while encouraging them to reach for the goal of graduation.

“It’s their way to celebrate in their own way,” Bolton said.

Kaley Bertucci, a sophomore exploratory major, said the goal of the powwow was to promote Native Americans getting their education and make it known that there are Native Americans who are going to college and graduating.

“There are a lot of people who are out there doing their thing,” Bertucci said. “We want (students) to see that it’s possible to get here.”

In order to put on the powwow and reach out to young Native American students, UNITE needed to raise a lot of money, about $6,000, Haag said. To do so, they sold Indian tacos, T-shirts and also sought financial help from various departments on campus, such as the Native American studies program, the Office of Academic Success and Intercultural Services and organizations around town. UNITE also received a large contribution from the PepsiCo Foundation.

Sorority marks 50th birthday

dn flashback 2009 Sigma Chi house charged with hazing

The Sigma Chi fraternity was suspended by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on Tuesday after eight of its members were charged with hazing.

Court records show that Sigma Chi pledges were, in some cases, forced to take shots of vodka and Tabasco sauce until they vomited and were penetrated anally by a stripper with a vibrator.

Juan Franco, vice chancellor for Student Affairs, said with the suspension members are still allowed to live in the fraternity house, but they can’t participate in any social events.

James Pace-Cornsilk DN The pastel blue house on 16th Street adjacent to the Capitol building has been the home of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority since the beginning of summer 2012. On Sunday, the house, known as the Yates House, was the venue for a celebration to mark the sorority’s 50-year anniversary at UNL. Before the students moved into the house in summer 2012, the sorority did not have a house on campus, according to Sherry Schafer, an alumna of the sorority. After a considerable amount of renovation, which had to be done with care because the house is listed on the historical registry, it is now home for 13 members of Alpha Delta Pi. Much of the original decoration was kept inside the house, which was built in 1891, giving the house and its six bedrooms more character than other sorority houses, said Abby Mussack, a sophomore hospitality major.

Mussack enjoys living in this off-campus house with original

The competition awarded two top titles. The overall winner for the women’s class was Laura Campbell, a sophomore pre-health major. After a quadruple-tiebreaker, David Fray won overall in the men’s class.

Both winners won a digital heart rate monitor watch.

Phinisey said he was proud of the way the competition played out.

“There weren’t too many surprises and it was great seeing everyone cheer each other on,” Phinisey said, “It was a competitive environment, but not adversely competitive.”

There are plans to hold another Strong Husker competition next fall, this time with more groups participating, he said.

“We are looking to have it collaborating with intramurals,” Phinisey said. news @dailynebraskan.com

The Promised Land of Milk and Honey Could it have been? Could the dream still come true?

Israel has accepted virtually all of the “conditions” for reconciliation on which the Palestinians have insisted, with the sole exception of the demand for the “right of return.” That “right” would swamp Israel with hundreds of thousands of Arabs. And it would with one stroke be the end of Israel as the Jewish state. Even for the thorny question of Jerusalem a compromise could be found.

But, having been misled by the thuggish Arafat for decades, Arab Palestine needs a wise leader in order to finally make peace with Israel. In view of Israel’s experience in Lebanon and Gaza and because it would be fatally vulnerable if an armed enemy occupied the Judean heights, the state of Palestine would have to be totally demilitarized and controlled (probably by US military) for compliance. It would be a difficult condition to swallow, but it would have to be the price to gain their own country. But the dream could then finally be fulfilled and peace and prosperity could be extended over all of the Promised Land. Milk and Honey could indeed flow.

“I’ve gotten really close to other girls living here,” Lux said.

The connection the students have, and had, were clear at Sunday afternoon’s event, as alumni who had not seen each other in years reconnected with hugs and kind words.

Alpha Delta Pi was originally founded in 1851 at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Ga. The sorority was founded at UNL in 1915, but had to close due to declining enrollment during the Great Depression. It was recolonized at UNL in 1963. Since then, the house has moved locations several times.

The Alpha Delta Pi executive board members are the ones who live in the house, which still contains the original wall paper; other members of the sorority live on campus.

“Even though it’s off campus, it’s still within walking distance,” said Mussack, who has been living in the house since the fall semester of 2012. She said the house has more of a home feeling.

Lindsey Bray, president of the Eastern Nebraska Alumni Association of Alpha Delta Pi, said everything in the house ties into symbols and colors of the sorority. She said the process of renovating the house has been “fantastic.”

“Every time we’ve come here, there’s something new and different,” Bray said. “It’s perfect.”

Many of the students who live at the three-story house with a wraparound porch said they like living off campus, including Lauren Wilson, a sophomore food science and technology major.

“It’s nice to be able to get away from the hustle and bustle of campus,” Wilson said. “But it’s a good walking distance.”

Most of the attendees were from Lincoln, Haag said, and some from Kansas, where her tribe, the Kickapoo, is from. The drums that came to sing were White Water, White Tail and Urban Crew. The color guard, in charge of leading the grand entry with the United States flag and prisoners of war/missing in action flag, were Kickapoo.

While Native American graduation rates may be low, Tewentenhawihtha Aldrich, a freshman education major, believes it is important to still honor those who are graduating, rather than dwelling on those you have not.

“It’s important to celebrate tradition and education, and just celebrate in general, so we dance,” Aldrich said. “A lot of people have maybe lost the power of positivity.”

The UNITE academic achievement powwow will be held again next spring to continue to honor Native American students who are defying stereotypes and proving that they can be successful, too.

Ryan Healy, a 21-year-old junior economics and marketing major, fell from his fraternity’s fire escape that night and was found on the concrete by Lincoln police and Lincoln Fire and Rescue. UNLPD reported this incident as alcohol related. Healy was moved from critical condition to serious condition at Bryan West Campus on Friday, and is in fair condition at press time.

Healy’s incident comes just two months after Matt Dutton was killed falling down the stairs of the Que Place Garage.

Healy is a member of Fiji fraternity, but in college, alcohol is apart of the social culture, not just in the Greek system.

There’s nothing wrong with students going out and having a good time.

They should enjoy their time in college, and relaxing on the weekend is a part of that experience. However, students should know their limits.

We know you’ve heard all of these suggestions before, but in light of this recent event, think before you go out.

Friends should hold each other accountable when they are at a party or downtown. No one wants to see a friend get hurt because of an alcohol-related event. Yet, sometimes people don’t plan ahead.

Students should take responsibility and know their limits. Set up a designated driver before going to a party. Set a limit on how much to drink beforehand. Also, eating before drinking can lessen the risk of excessive drunkenness.

If a friend is extremely intoxicated, look out for them and make sure he or she makes it home safely.

If students start planning ahead, they will find that incidents like Healy’s and Dutton’s would happen far less. Nobody wants to see their friends get hurt when everyone is just trying to have a good time. opinion@dailynebraskan.com

Tragedies evoke media prejudice

A

s the nation mourns the recent tragedy of the marathon bombings in Boston, media pundits continue to promote hatred and cynicism. You might ask: Who benefits from aggravating ethnic and racial lines by creating an environment of fear and suspicion?

Before the federal authority published the photos of the two suspects behind the heinous crimes, a number of news outlets like the AP and CNN mistakenly reported that the FBI had actually arrested, in the words of John King, a “dark-skinned male.” He said that information was related by a “reputable law enforcement BALIGH BEN TALEB official.” In the same frame, the New York Post falsely headlined that “Authorities ID permurdered by police. Doesn’t the public have son of interest as Saudi national in marathon the right to hear the alleged person confess? bombings, under guard at Boston hospital.”

Yet, over the last few years, we have witYet, this “suspect” was never approached by nessed numerous sorry excuses of animated, the police for questioning. skin-covered sacks of cynicism.

which supposedly prevent self-incrimination in violation of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution – despite his home being trapped with “homemade napalm, thermite, gasoline, smokeless gun powder, rifle bullets and a remote-controlled car.” But, for Suspect No. 2 in the Boston bombings, the Department of Justice invoked “the public safety exception to Miranda in order to question the suspect extensively about other potential explosive devices or accomplices and to gain critical intelligence.”

Also, as far as I remember, not a single U.S. politician suggested torturing Holmes or any of the white male perpetrators, but New York senator Greg Ball expressed his pro-torture views publicly in his tweet “So, scum bag No.2 in custody. Who wouldn’t use torture on this punk to save more lives?”

Obviously, the racially coded lesson of politically driven commentators continues to play a salient role in framing an atmosphere of loathing and prejudice during moments of crisis.

Sometimes it is beyond understanding how someone could harm other human beings in cold blood. Regardless of motivation, violence is unacceptable. Also, media profiling could breed more violence and ignorance and stir up deep-seated grievances of hate crimes.

Just as there must be a reason for this senseless violence, there must also be a motive for these racially driven comments. Failure to clearly address them in a self-critical and responsible way reinforces cynical views.

This can only serve to tear the nation apart from the inside. What better strategy to destroy a country than to turn the people against one another? Is this what the media is for?

Media’s infatuation to “break the news” can do more harm than keeping people in the loop. This is, in the words of Ghandi, “a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.”

Conflict resolution trumps power plays

F

or a long time, regimes like Iran and North Korean have been described as crazy and irrational. The U.S. politicians, however, are presented as intelligent and loved by the public.

The political structures of countries may vary, but the fundamentals are the same.

Political leaders from North Korea and Iran need to make their people believe they are smart and deserve their support. Most of the irrational statements made by North Korean leaders are made with careful, rational calculations. Even though North Korean activities appear crazy, the benefits outweigh the costs. If you take an insider ’s perspective, these “irrational” activities actually make a lot of sense.

North Korea threatened to strike the United States with nuclear weapons, alarming Americans, including the U.S. Department of Defense. In fact, two stealth bombers were sent to the South Korea base at the end of March.

It’s not very difficult to see that the U.S. is ready for whatever North Korea decides to do next.

However, military actions are not necessarily the best way to deal with conflicts. As Sun Tzu stated in the “Art of the War,” “the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” To implement the “the supreme art of war,” the word “enemy” needs to be redefined. Enemy and friend shouldn’t be the only way to describe relationships between countries. Also, in the case of the North Korean nuclear crisis, once the conflicts are solved, America should partner with North Korea in many areas.

If you look at the United States and Vietnam, you may be surprised at how quickly the relationships between countries change. The Vietnam War veterans may be still suffering pains caused by the war, but the government is ready to move on and create partnerships with the country. (Please note that this discussion is focused on solving conflict rather than preparing for military action.)

It’s likely that North Korean leaders are about ready to move on to the next stage, but due to many domestic and international political reasons, it’s better to show off its military powers first. The moment the United States reacts to North Korean threats, North Koreans gain bargaining power in future discussions.

lies should do their fair share. When America is facing budget problems and the Pentagon has to make painful cuts, there is no reason for American citizens to pay extra for other country’s security expenses. America is already more than ready to fight a war with any other country in the world. According to the Huffington Post, the U.S. military expenses are more than the rest of the following nine largest military spenders combined. When the U.S. is already more than ready to take over North Korea, showing off muscles will not do anything but increase the defense budget burden.

It’s definitely not something tax payers would prefer.

from dn earth day issue

‘Trashed’ touches familiar nerve with waste critique Candida Brady’s documentary takes a meaningful approach to film’s favorite topic andrew larsen dn “Trashed” is the latest in a long line of environmental documentaries released in the post-“An Inconvenient Truth” era. Environmental awareness has been around for years, but Davis Guggenheim’s 2006 feature scared audiences into action.

In the last decade we’ve been privy to a tremendous amount of investigative films trying to shock the viewer out of his or her stupor. But between the surplus of depressing documentaries and nature-porn-with-a-lesson shows like

“Planet Earth,” we’ve become accustomed to seeing the worst of humanity displayed in high-definition quality. “Trashed” hits many of the same notes as its predecessors, but it hits them well enough and with enough urgency to make it worth the time.

Much like Al Gore was both the narrator and the “star” of “An Inconvenient Truth,” here Jeremy Irons takes the reins as the audience conduit into the world of trash. His smoldering, roguish personality and his luxurious English accent make him a quality host for writer/ director Candida Brady.

As the film began its investigation, I wondered if it might have been more appropriate to have an actual journalist or documentarian to be the one asking the questions and doing the patented “walk and talk” that gives documentaries that certain je ne sais quoi.

Then, as it progressed and

viewers started seeing more and more horrendous effects that pollutants and toxins have on our environment and our bodies, the barely-contained anger and deep sadness Irons expresses seems perfect for what the film is trying to accomplish.

Visions of trash-strewn highways, plastic-filled bodies of water and heaping landfills have sadly been on American’s televisions and movie screens since the infamous “Crying Indian” commercial from 1970, so that part of “Trashed” likely won’t raise any eyebrows.

But when it digs deeper, the film really picks up. In the most upsetting and moving segment of the film, the camera follows Irons to Vietnam as he visits a hospital that cares for children with birth defects. Starting in 1967 and continuing since, thousands of Vietnamese children have had their lives permanently damaged by the

hintz: from 2 to be sustainable, should resources be out of reach.

“Kind of the lifeline that I’ve created here, at Meadowlark, is that if industrial civilization ceases to exist, at the very bottom of it, my friend farmer Bill in Lancaster County has these teas, these local teas, that we sell,” Hintz said. “At the very bottom of it, I can heat up water, steep tea and still have people come here and drink tea.

If supply chains for coffee break down and I can’t do a coffee shop anymore, I can still do tea. That’s something that you really gotta consider.”

Opening a coffee shop has benefitted Hintz personally, as well.

Through getting to know the surrounding community, Hintz has been able to get his name and causes out into the public eye. Because of his networking and the doors that were opened to him through Meadowlark and his environmental work, Hintz was offered a radio show at KZUM. “My friends and I have a radio show called ‘Earth to Lincoln,’ and it’s on every Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m. and we cover stuff on environmental issues that affect Nebraskans and Lincolnites specifically,” Hintz said. “A lot of stuff has been about the pipeline because that’s the big issue. BOLD Nebraska and the fight against the pipeline has been the best environment movement that’s ever

lingering chemical Agent Orange, which the U.S. began spraying over vegetation in 1961. We see one child with no arms or legs, one with no eyes, all of them forever dependent on others for help.

What does Agent Orange have to do with trash? One of the most important messages the film conveys is the danger of dioxins, aka the most toxic chemical known to science. Dioxins are released into the air when incinerators burn the millions of tons of waste we discard every day. They’re what seep into the groundwater from over-filled land dumps. Using sobering talking heads and ominous musical cues, “Trashed” stresses there’s no amount of dioxins small enough to be safe for humans. Once dioxins enter our bodies, we don’t break them down, and in our throwaway culture, there’s no escaping the pollution.

The tagline for the film reads, “If

if you go “Trashed” Focus Nebraska screening

where:

Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center

you think waste is someone else’s problem, think again.” That’s a perfect summary for this kind of film.

We use something, throw it away and then never think about it again.

Through powerful images, stark expert testimony and a convincing plea from Irons, “Trashed” wants us to know that waste is everyone’s problem, and unless we do something soon, there won’t be anyone left to solve it.

Above all, Hintz said he isn’t doing this all for himself. He’s doing it for his two daughters and for future generations.

“I do it for them – it’s all for them,” Hintz said. “When I look at my kids, I’m just like ‘What kind of world am I leaving for them?’ I’ll see all this concrete and these cars and I just think ‘What can I do for them?’

They’re surrounded constantly, not just by environmentalism but by activism too. I really wanna teach them how to have that life. For the majority of my childhood I came home from school and just watched TV. Unless we were camping or fishing, I didn’t understand how to organize and I feel like I’m kind of behind the curve. At 33 years old I feel like I could’ve been doing all of this stuff when I was 19. I knew about the problems of the world when I was 18.

Track and field

NU athletes win a number of events at 2 meets jacy lewis dn The Nebraska track and field team finished a long weekend of relays on Saturday. The majority of the team went to Lawrence, Kan., for the Kansas Relays while a few members ventured to the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif.

On Thursday, Jourdan Doffeny finished second in the women’s heptathlon with 4,629 points at the Kansas Relays, while Maggie Malone came in fifth with 4,369 points. Jacob Griess finished 11th in the men’s hammer throw with a 171 feet 7 inches. Veronica Grizzle placed eighth in the women’s hammer throw with a mark of 182-11.

Doffeny said weather made it miserable in Lawrence during the weekend.

“It was the worst weather I have ever competed in. It was hard, and it started snowing during our 800,” Doffeny said.

Despite the weather, Doffeny was content with her performance.

She felt her throwing was her stron-

gest event during this meet instead of her running.

“It went pretty well for me,” said Doffeny. “Second place for my first heptathlon, so I was pretty happy with that.”

In the men’s 800 meters, Nolan Border finished third posting a time of 1:55.21. Morgan Woitzel placed ninth on the women’s side, recording a time of 2:21.34. Sarah Plambeck finished eighth in the women’s 1,500 meters posting a time of 4:48.14. In the women’s 10,000 meters, Isabel Andrade placed eighth with a time of 39:32.61.

The Huskers who made the trip to California were received by warmer weather. Jessica Furlan placed third in California in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase, but was the top collegiate finisher with a time of 9:58.52. This time ranks her third in the nation and first in the Big Ten. Anne Martin finished second in the heptathlon with a personal-best score of 5,321 points. On the men’s side, Teran Walford finished second with a personal-best score of 7,330

Softball can’t finish sweep against Purdue, win 2 of 3 staff report After a three-game series against conference opponent Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind., the No. 18 Nebraska softball team took two out of three games against the Boilermakers thanks to a strong showing in a Saturday doubleheader.

Heading into the weekend, Nebraska was 32-9 overall and 10-3 in Big Ten play, putting the Huskers second in the conference behind No. 9 Michigan, who is undefeated against Big Ten squads.

Because of field conditions on Friday, the Boilermakers held off the beginning of their home series against the Huskers. The teams kicked off competition with a doubleheader on Saturday followed by a final game on Sunday.

For both teams, the most exciting matchup was the first one. The game went into extra innings, ending with a victory for the visiting Huskers. Nebraska broke the tie in the ninth inning to win 5-2. Things didn’t always go well for the visitors in the game, though.

Heading into what was supposed to be the final inning, the Huskers were down 2-1 to the Boilermakers, who are fighting to get above .500. Junior Tatum Edwards, who also pitched all nine innings against Purdue, took the game into her hands that inning to belt a solo homerun to right center to tie the game and force extra innings.

In the top of the ninth inning, still tied at 2-2, senior Courtney Breault came in clutch for her team with a three-run homerun that would put the knife in the coffin for the Huskers.

In game two, Nebraska carried the momentum from game one to obliterate the Boilermakers 12-2.

The Huskers outhit their opponent 16-8 in the second game that included five Huskers with multi-hit games. Hitting homeruns for Nebraska were freshman Alicia Armstrong, junior Taylor Edwards and Courtney Breault with her second homerun on the day, her third of the season.

On the mound for Nebraska in game two was freshman Emily Lockman, who earned her 13th win of the season in the duel against another freshman pitcher in Lilly Fecho. Fecho was Big Ten Pitcher of the Week before surrendering 12 runs to the Husker offense.

After the first two games, Sunday was a different story for the confident Huskers. Although the team rallied late in the game, the

in 40.35 seconds. The women’s team of Heck, Weekes, Oak and McCarthy placed fifth, posting a seasonbest time of 46.59 seconds.

The Husker men’s 4x400 relay team came close to a first place finish, but received second. The team of Welk, McKenzie, Hall and Thompson recorded a season-best time of 3:7:95 seconds, ranking them fourth in the Big Ten. The women’s team placed fifth.

Overall, Nebraska coach Gary Pepin was proud of the athletes’ perseverance during the Kansas Relays.

“They handled the weather about as well as they could because it was really tough conditions for them,” Pepin said.

He believes the competition was good at both meets because the Huskers didn’t sweep the events.

The meet was a good checkpoint for the Huskers in the outdoor season.

“It was a good opportunity to see where they are and for coaches to evaluate their progress,” Pepin said. sports@ dailynebraskan.com

Nebraska tennis drops 2 matches on the weekend Huskers finish the regular season at No. 10 in the conference grant muessel dn Nebraska men’s tennis started the weekend on the other side of the win-loss column than it hoped for, dropping Friday afternoon’s match to Big Ten rival Minnesota 5-2. The Gophers came into Lincoln ranked No. 32 nationally.

After a short one-day turnaround, Nebraska traveled to Wisconsin to face the Badgers in Madison. The 62nd-ranked Badgers handed the Huskers their second loss of the weekend.

Friday’s match against the Gophers was the final home match for Husker seniors Eric Sock and Andre Stenger, neither of whom left the Nebraska Tennis Center with the results they wanted personally or for the team. Sock played alongside Stenger on the No. 1 doubles court, but the seniors lost their match.

Nebraska freshmen Marc Herrmann and Dusty Boyer won on the No. 2 doubles court, but Minnesota won on court No. 3 to clinch the doubles point, putting the Huskers in an early deficit they weren’t able to overcome in singles play.

Nebraska coach Rhonda Revelle poses with her all-time wins record trophy after a game earlier this season. Revelle and her team won two out of three games against Purdue this weekend.

Huskers fell short to the Boilermakers and lost 5-6.

Nebraska did tally the first run of the game to give the team a 1-0 lead, but in the bottom of the first inning, the Purdue offense was able to get revenge. The Boilermakers came out big in the bottom of the frame, bringing in five out of their six runs in that inning.

The Husker offense answered back the next inning, registering three runs, but it wasn’t enough.

Heading into the seventh inning, down by one run, the team had two runners on with two outs but

were unable to convert.

Nebraska received its 10th loss of the season Sunday and are now 34-10 overall and still remain second in the Big Ten standings.

This week, the Huskers will have a non-conference game against in-state rival Creighton on Wednesday at Bowlin Stadium before hosting a highly anticipated matchup against No. 9 Michigan, attempting to hand the Wolverines their first conference loss of the season. sports@ dailynebraskan.com

The team rounded out the day on the parallel bars. With two Huskers advancing to the individual semifinals for the event, Chamberlain and junior co-captain Mark Ringle posted scores of 14.55 and 14.95, respectively.

Mickelson wins individual national championship Zach Tegler DN

Before the bowling season began in November, Kristina Mickelson’s dad had lost his job, her mom had health problems and Kristina herself had a broken arm.

Five months later, she has something else: a trophy.

A week after the Nebraska women’s bowling team won the NCAA national championship, Mickelson won an individual national title at the xbowling Intercollegiate Singles Championships.

“It’s magic. I was happy with my NCAA national championship,” the NU senior said. “To be able to call myself an individual champion against some of the greatest bowlers in college – it hasn’t sunk in yet. It’s just so, so, so surreal.”

In the final match Saturday at Lincoln’s Sun Valley Lanes, Mickelson rolled strikes in all 10 frames en route to a 289-233 victory against Wichita State’s Tannya Roumimper.

“The Wichita player is extraordinarily talented. She’s had worldwide experience, worldwide success,” said

3 Husker gymnasts earn All-American Eric Bertrand DN The No. 10 Nebraska men’s gymnastics may have not had success as a team in the NCAA Championships, but junior Wyatt Aycock earned All-American status in the all-around, and sophomore Grant Perdue and freshman Sam Chamberlain earned All-American honors in the vault and parallel bars, respectively.

Even with earning high honors, Aycock still wants more.

“I’m proud of it, but I still could’ve done a little bit better,” Aycock said. “I want to get more next year.”

For Perdue, the award shows his dedication and time spent in practice.

“It feels good that all my hard work has paid off,” he said.

The Huskers failed to move on to the second day of team finals in the tournament. After a season-low total score last week in the Big Ten Championship, the Huskers put up their second-

lowest score of the season at Univeristy Park, Pa. One Husker gymnast felt the team improved on one aspect: fighting spirit.

“We kept our heads up and kept fighting,” Aycock said. “We didn’t let ourselves get down with the mistakes.”

In the first day of competition, the Huskers were matched up with eventual champion No. 3 Michigan, second-place Oklahoma and sixth-place Illinois.

On the first day of action, the Huskers ran into troubles on their first event: the high bar.

Sophomore Josh Ungar recorded the best score on the event for the Huskers with a 14.40, which was enough to qualify him for the individual semifinals.

Nebraska had difficulties in the next few rotations, but saw a few big individual scores by Huskers along the way. Perdue and Chamberlain both earned 14.60s on their floor routines.

Freshman Ethan Lottman posted

Detroit that brought about their success. Same thing with Kristi today,” he said. “She made a ball change before the start of this last game, and it dramatically increased her potential to score.”

Mickelson’s score increased 97 points from the semifinal to the final.

After her trophy presentation, Mickelson hugged her teammates – who had been sitting in bleachers beside the lanes – before going to hug her parents.

“It was great to have them be able to be a part of such an awesome feeling. They’re both workers, so they don’t get to come watch me as much as they wanted to,” she said, “so to have them here was just great.”

And just as she turned a score of 192 into a title-clinching 289, Mickelson took a set of adverse circumstances at the beginning of the season and turned it into a team national championship, an NCAA Championships MVP award and an individual national title.

“Her dad has a job. Her mom is healthier,” Straub said. “And Kristi’s on top of the bowling world.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com

Huskers finish spring with loss against WSU Huskers can’t overcome errors on the road against the Shockers staff report DN The Nebraska women’s volleyball team fell to Wichita State on Saturday in four sets (22-25, 25-17, 19-25, 21-25). The Huskers and Shockers also played an exhibition set, where the Huskers won 15-12.

The loss capped off the spring season for the Huskers, and the squad finished with a 2-2 record after dropping its last two matches. In the final two matches of the spring, the Huskers totaled 68 attacking errors and 23 service errors.

However, against Wichita State, the Huskers managed

to have more service aces than serivce errors. Nebraska racked up nine aces, six of which came courtesy of senior Kelsey Robinson’s jump serve.

The Huskers’ attacking percentage was at its best in the first set at .217 percent with 15 kills. Despite their efforts, the Shockers answered with 16 kills and a .239 percent hit percentage to take the opening set.

W

ith a three-game sweep of Purdue and a midweek sweep of No. 10 Arkansas, the Nebraska baseball team is riding a wave of momentum.

The Huskers, energized by the return of pitcher Kyle Kubat, have won five straight after dropping the final two games of their series against Ohio State a week ago.

Beating Purdue 10-2, 10-4 and 12-2 during the weekend evened Nebraska’s overall record at 19-19 and improved its conference mark to 11-4.

With a series against Minnesota, Michigan and Indiana coming up, the Huskers needed the sweep to keep pace with their conference rivals and stay in the hunt for a bye in the Big Ten tournament.

They went on the road and did that this weekend.

“We talk about creating our own atmosphere in a different set of circumstances, you know,” Nebraska coach Darin Erstad said Sunday in a postgame radio in-

terview. “We didn’t play Friday; doubleheader Saturday in some pretty cold weather. It was good to see us come in here and take care of business.”

The Huskers scored in double-digit runs in each of the weekend’s games, exploding for as many as 12 runs on Sunday.

They pounded out 41 hits during the weekend – the second time they’ve recorded more than 40 in a series this season – and seven regular starters now have batting averages of more than .280.

“As much as I was disappointed of us not taking advantage of some opportunities early on, on the other side, we talk about keep getting guys on, keep getting guys in scoring position, and eventually they’ll crack,” Erstad said of his team’s approach at the plate. “Sure enough, it did again.”

A number of successful hitand-runs, bunts and stolen bases kept the pressure on Purdue all weekend, and the Boilermakers broke down defensively with 10 errors during the series.

Our pitchers continued to pound the zone, and we took advantage of their mistakes.”

“It’s that chaos on the base paths that we are talking about,” Erstad said. “It’s that constant pressure, not necessarily stealing bases but constant pressure, and it’s been effective.”

The Huskers, in contrast to the Boilermakers, didn’t commit an error the whole weekend. After struggling with its defense to begin the conference season, Nebraska has picked it up in the field as of late.

“To not have one error the whole weekend, while the other team kicked the ball around a little bit, to not let out game drop down to that level, it was a good sign,” Erstad said. “Our pitchers continued to pound the zone, and we took advantage of their mistakes.”

Working with only one proven starter, Nebraska had to rely on its bullpen more than in the past against Purdue. And the relievers came through in a big way, giving up only one earned run in 10 innings of work.

As for the starters, they made out all right as well. Christian DeLeon went seven innings Saturday afternoon, allowing a single run, and Aaron Bummer and Kyle Kubat each made it through five innings to pick up wins.

Bummer and Kubat will again be in the rotation with DeLeon next weekend. According to Erstad, those two guys have earned themselves spots in the lineup after no one stepped up early in the year. sports@ Dailynebraskan.com
