LETTERS FROM THE EDITORS

››Dear reader,

Yesterday I partook in a holiday.

I’m not talking about Easter, although I did go to church in the morning and did count my blessings. No, I celebrated opening day. Much like Jesus’s resurrection from the dead, which marked the change of a growing religion, yesterday marked the end of the long wait to see a new beginning.

The Chicago Cubs opened the 2015 season last night against their rival, the St. Louis Cardinals, and I couldn’t help but get nostalgic. You see, I grew up on the north side of Chicago and my passion for the Cubs could be characterized as a religion.

Every year the Cubs, like the Jews in ancient times, wait for a messiah to deliver them from the oppression of ridicule and failure. Sayings such as, “This is the year” and “Wait till next year, ” are cliché, and I’m tired of waiting.

The Cubs have not been to the World Series since 1908, and the curse of Billy Sianis’s billy goat is becoming more and more difficult to get rid of. However, this year offers more promise than past ones, as the Cubs have signed two superstar free agents in manager Joe Maddon and prized pitcher Jon Lester. This has reenergized many fans almost as much the Catholic’s come home project for Catholicism.

I was in third grade when I saw the Florida Marlins clinch the 2003 National League Championship Series. However, what I will never forget is the night before.

The Cubs were winning 3-0 in the top of the eighth before I realized how much it hurt to lose. With a 3-2 count and one out, a Marlins batter hit a foul ball down the left field line when a fan hindered left fielder Moises Alou’s path to the ball.

The fan’s name: Steve Bartman.

This event broke the Cubs’ composure, which resulted in errors

and led to a Marlins’ 8-3 victory and their eventual appearance in the World Series.

I’ve never forgotten that day. I was at home watching it with my parents, admiring the game like any little boy who has professional baseball aspirations would. When I used to go to games, I would reflect on what could have been.

However, this season I’m focusing a little differently. Instead of looking forward or backward, I’m focusing side-to-side. I’m embracing the here and now. I don’t know when the Cubs will be in the World Series, but, for the time being, I’m going to be present in the moment like one should be in prayer.

Sincerely, David Stover Print Sports editor

Francis fosters modern dialogue for campus Catholics JUSTIN PERKINS DN When students thread through the pews of the new St. Thomas Aquinas Church for its commemoration next Sunday, they’ll sit before an altar freshly embossed with shields dedicated to Pope

Benedict XVI and Pope Francis. The altar’s moldings allude to the passage of time and changes in Catholic leadership – a message that comes at a meaningful time for Catholic students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Leaders and students in the Catholic community at UNL say Pope Francis’s leadership during the past two years has ushered in a renewed vigor for cultural engagement in the church. With a seemingly undaunted ability to face controversial social issues and insert himself into political conflict, while challenging traditional precedents within the papacy, the new pontiff has represented for some Catholics a revitalization within the church and its relationship with the world.

Seth Wiedel, a recent UNL graduate and missionary with the Newman Center’s Fellowship of Catholic University Students, said even as a part of the Lincoln Diocese – known to be one of the more conservative dioceses in Nebraska – students at the Newman Center have reflected this desire.

“There’s definitely been those times when we’ve thought, ‘He said what?’” Wiedel said. “But I think he’s been able to help draw the church out of ourselves. And that’s exactly what the church needs.”

Pope Francis’s leadership style has proved popular – according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in February, 90 percent of U.S. Catholics held favorable views of the pope. The survey also found that the pope’s second highest share of approval belonged to college graduates, with nearly 8 out of 10 reporting favorable views.

During the past 16 years, Jim Jansen, director of collegiate outreach for FOCUS, said he has witnessed a change in the way students at the Newman Center interact with the world through their

religious tradition.

“I think students at that time were not as well equipped to engage in a broader cultural dialogue,” Jansen said. “They knew that their faith was against certain cultural trends but didn’t know the reasons why in a meaningful way.”

Jansen said that in recent years, students have been more open in their approach to conversations surrounding historically divisive social issues.

“Students here now have really begun to dive into what their faith means,” Jansen said. “They want to reencounter their faith in a deeper way, and hope to see a more genuine exchange happen on both sides of these issues.”

Jansen said that students should not to shy away from traditional doctrine but rather to develop personal relationships with people of opposing views, so they can understand the tough nuances of issues like abortion, contraception and same-sex marriage.

“I think many students have found that there’s a depth in the faith’s teachings that don’t fit well into soundbites. And it’s sad when both sides

don’t understand each other because they reduce dialogue on these issues to those soundbites.”

Wiedel said another strength of Francis has been his ability to keep the Catholic Church rooted in traditional teachings. In fact, according to the Pew survey, Pope Francis is viewed more favorably by Americans over the age of 65 than those under the age of 50.

But in many ways, Francis has broken from Vatican precedent.

Unlike many popes and bishops before him, many see Francis as shifting the tone of the papacy away from strict moralization, seeking to offer mercy over condemnation.

In a September open letter to Italian journalist and atheist Eugenio Scalfari, surprising many high church leaders, Francis wrote, “I would not speak about ‘absolute’ truths, even for believers…

Truth is a relationship.”

Francis has not even been afraid to use his role as pontiff to enter into the political realm.

How Nebraska’s LGBT protections stack up BAILEY SCHULZ DN When it comes to discrimination protections, Nebraska’s no Indiana. But it’s no Colorado, either.

Recent controversy regarding the Indi-

ana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act – as well as the introduction of an anti-discrimination bill in the Nebraska Legislature – has reinvigorated statewide debate on the government’s role in shielding LGBT people from discrimination.

While Indiana is 1 of 19 states with a RFRA or something similar, Nebraska isn’t among them. However, the Cornhusker state lags behind more progressive states that are leading the charge for LGBT protections. One example is Colorado, which outlaws discrimination of services based on sexuality or gender identity.

Nebraska law bars workplace and public accommodations discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin and retaliation for protection or defense of those groups.

The Fair Employment Practice Act also protects against workplace discrimination based on disability, marital status, pregnancy and whistleblower retaliation.

But Nebraska lacks statewide legislation barring discrimination in the workplace or public accommodations based on sexuality or gender identity. This session, Lincoln Sen. Adam Morfeld introduced LB 586, which would ban workforce discrimination against the LGBT community. While the bill would apply to employers across the state of Ne-

A bill in the Nebraska Legislature seeks to bar workplace discrimination of LGBT employees in the state. braska, places of worship would be exempt.

A similar bill was proposed last year but ended with a filibuster.

Morfeld’s bill excludes from the law any “religious corporation, association, or society with respect to the employment of individuals of a particular religion to perform work con-

nected with the carrying on by such corporation, association, or society of its religious activities.”

It also would not apply to the employment of an individual by his or her parent, grandparent, spouse, child or grandchild or to those in the domestic service of any other person.

Peter Burnett, a freshman history major, said he agrees with the exemptions in LB 586.

“Religious organizations generally have exemptions from these sorts of things anyway,” he said. “It’s just a continuation of what we already have.”

The bill would be applicable to employers with at least 15 employees, businesses with state contracts regardless of the number of employees, the state of Nebraska, governmental agencies and political subdivisions.

Paige Edwards, a self-described libertarian and undeclared freshman, said while she doesn’t believe in discrimination, “I do agree with the principle that a business should be able to deny service to anybody for any reason.”

On Feb. 4, both the Lincoln and Omaha chambers of commerce voiced their support of the anti-discrimination bill. Other states with similar anti-discrimination laws include Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

If the bill passes, some people predict it will help business in Nebraska. Many businesses and workers tend to look at LGBT protection before moving to new states, and the bill has a chance of drawing in new employees to the state.

Grady Salzman, a junior computer science major, said while this bill is a good step, discrimination won’t cease to exist until society changes its views as a whole.

“A law isn’t going to stop people’s mindset,” he said. “It’s more of a continual, gradual thing, and people are going to have to learn to accept different values in different people’s lifestyles.”

Churches confront increasing secularity of millennials COLLEEN FELL DN When Brett Dibbern worked up the courage to tell his parents the truth, the news had been a long time coming.

Dibbern, now a sophomore computer science major at the University of NebraskaLincoln, had been raised in the Christian faith. But during a road trip to Des Moines in high school, he made a startling admission to his parents: Their religion wasn’t for him.

“We were arguing on something and my parents said, ‘Well, that’s not the Christian thing to do,’” Dibbern said. “Then I said, ‘Well, I have something to tell you.’”

Dibbern, who has a previous bachelor ’s degree in history, said dropping his Christian faith was a gradual process beginning in high school. Dibbern said he had to “play mental gymnastics” when questioning what he believed. He decided to study the Bible thoroughly and try to make sense of what was written. After reading the book cover to cover, Dibbern said he was surprised by how much he didn’t agree with.

“I had a hard time reconciling some things now that I took for granted when I was younger,” he said. “There were too many instances in the Bible that didn’t match up with scientific facts or historical records.”

Upon arriving at college, Dibbern found a home with the Secular Humanists of UNL. “I wanted to be surrounded by people who think the way I do,” Dibbern said.

Secular humanism is a sort of umbrella term for many beliefs of the secular spectrum including, but not limited to, atheism, freethinkers and agnosticism. Dibber said the group is open to anyone questioning his or her faith as well.

Dibbern isn’t alone in dropping his faith before and during college. According to a 2013 article from Salon, more and more young people, millennials specifically, are less committed to religion. The article states that during the 1970s, 13 percent of young adults were unaffiliated with a religion. Today, that number has almost tripled. In 2012, about one-third of adults ranging in age from 18 to 29 were unaffiliated with a religious organization.

The numbers may be dramatic, but it’s not necessarily a huge worry for religious organizations. Adam White, pastor at the Lutheran Center at UNL, said he doesn’t see a lack of religious commitment as a generational problem. He said each generation has different events and time frames serving to shape its ideals and beliefs, but the idea isn’t new.

“Different generations before the millennials have questioned and critiqued the church,” White said.

Millennials, White said, may not be as quick to associate themselves with a particular religious organization, but it doesn’t mean they aren’t practicing. White said in his work, he encounters many students trying to identify themselves, which comes with asking a lot of questions.

“The kinds of questions students ask now are more complex, and the church must an-

swer for that,” White said.

For some students, the opposite effect happens when they come to college. White said he’s encountered students who have religious backgrounds, though not strong ones, and want to carve their own religious path once in college.

This was the case for Nate Egger, a senior religious studies major at UNL. Egger grew up in the Methodist faith, but by the seventh grade, he had dropped off from church and became less involved in his church’s youth group. From that time until he came to college, Egger considered himself spiritual but didn’t want to associate himself with a particular religion.

“I still believed in God and the existence of God,” Egger said. “My faith was there, but it wasn’t as prominent.”

When he was a freshman at UNL, Egger was encouraged by friends to become involved with the Lutheran Center. He said he wasn’t forced into anything, but was able to find answers for his questions.

“It was important to have that freedom and find something that fitted me best,” Eg-

ger said.

Today, Egger is a host at the Lutheran Center. In exchange for keeping the building clean, he’s allowed to live there. He’s also a member of Beta Sigma Psi, a religious fraternity.

But Egger said he understands that not everyone is open to religion. He said there’s a stigma surrounding students who are part of a religious organization.

“You see people handing out fliers and that can seem overbearing,” Egger said, “then that’s associated with all religious organizations.”

He said he also understands that being associated with a religious organization can be a huge commitment.

“People might think there’s some loss of a sense of identity within a religious organization,” Egger said. “It’s a very defining characteristic to some people.”

Egger said being part of a religious organization might be off-putting for some millennials because of the associated politics.

“You hear about churches actively protesting and sharing a political agenda,” Eg-

ger said. “Obviously, this isn’t the case with every church.”

White said while all are welcome to the church, he knows some are hesitant.

“Some turn away, and for good reason,” White said. “A church has misled or hurt them.”

Still, White said he’s hopeful about the future of religious organizations.

“I don’t think it’s dying; it just looks different, “ he said.

White said the goal of the church isn’t to recruit new members, but to help its current members live the church’s message of serving the world.

“I think a church that attracts young people to save the church... is a fool’s errand,” White said.

Aside from a place for the many practicing students, he said he wants the church to be a place for anyone to come and ask questions, no strings attached.

“I’ll tell you something about millennials,” White said, “they know when you’re selling something.”

Lutheran community focuses on work outside the buildings LINDSAY ESPARRAGO DN It’s “no new renovations, no new building, no problem” for the Lutheran Chapel of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

While construction has transformed the Newman Center across the street, the university’s Lutheran community has been focused on leaving the comfort of its own building and fostering a unique identity with students of various faiths and backgrounds.

“No big renovations are stirring up talk for us at the time,” said Andrew Garske, a senior elementary education major, “but I think our consistent presence on campus can.”

The chapel’s last renovation took place three years ago and was completed entirely by students with the help of Lutheran Chapel alumni donations. Changes were made to what the students call “the great room,” an area where the community can hang out, study and eat throughout the day.

Lutheran Chapel Pastor Bill Steinbauer, who has been pastor for 18 years, said they open the building to any students between the hours of 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. every day.

“One of our philosophies is to use every bit of the building to the max,” Steinbauer said. “It allows us to get to know more people and to get them talking.”

“The great room” is a nice addition, but the tangibles just begin to explain why the Lutheran community is so great, some students said.

Steinbauer said he notices a decrease in involvement with students becoming busier and busier with schoolwork and clubs as years go on. Bible study leaders made the decision to move more studies to dorms and other buildings on campus for the sake of students’ convenience.

The Lutheran Center, 535 N. 16th St, is a ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America; the Lutheran Chapel is an affiliate of the Lutheran Church—MIssouri Synod.

Relocating from time to time provided not only convenience, but also encouragement for students to explore the faiths of others who don’t normally visit the chapel.

“They’re all in different phases of college and there’s deep questioning for them during this time,” said Pastor Adam White of the UNL Lutheran Center, a ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. “Conversation provides different perspectives from what students may have grown up with. There’s health

to that.”

For the Lutheran Chapel, a branch of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, it’s not just about its own faith and beliefs. Many say they want to listen and learn from those of faiths and cultures they’re not familiar with.

“If you limit yourself to only people who believe what you believe, you’re also narrowing down the relationships you’ll form in college,” Garske said.

Building new relationships is among the

fundamentals of the Lutheran Chapel, Steinbauer said. The community channels this belief through international Bible studies held Thursday of every week, welcoming all international students to learn about the Lutheran faith and ways to apply it to their lives.

International students often attend the studies to get a more secular view of the Bible in order to gain a better understanding of American culture.

The Lutheran community has gone beyond Bible studies, working with the UNL Muslim Student Association by offering to move and deliver furniture for members moving from place to place. The groups have even planned combined skiing and hiking trips.

“It’s amazing to see the investment in these relationships,” Steinbauer said. “All it takes is reaching out and helping.”

Over spring break, students of the Lutheran Chapel spent eight days in New Orleans to help with 15 projects including siding houses, cleaning churches and cutting down predatory trees in marshlands for the community.

“Opening up to diverse groups exposed me to different ways of living and having faith,” Garske said. “It helped us realize faith should be shared… not just a personal aspect of our lives.”

Whether it’s hours of community service around Lincoln the first Sunday of every month or working with the Friendship Home in support of victims of domestic violence, students are always looking for new ways to serve, members said.

“I can only hope that through my investment in students they will then turn around and invest in someone else,” Steinbauer said. “It’s an endless cycle of students helping other students.”

Church’s opening heralds new era for Newman Center JUSTIN PERKINS DN Inside the new St. Thomas Aquinas Church, splashes of morning light painted the altar in hues of stained glass. The marble floor gleamed as project and church leaders stood silently in the rear of the sanctuary. They included Rev. Robert Matya, Jude Werner, director of development at the Newman Center, and Kevin Clark, the project’s architect.

After a hectic few weeks spent finalizing the church in time for its commemoration, the project and church leaders now found a moment to reminisce about the series of events that led to the five-year project’s completion.

The church opened its doors for media tours on Thursday. Its official commemoration will take place April 12.

The project, Matya said, is something he

never dreamed would come to fruition.

Initial plans for improvements consisted merely of renovations to the old Newman Center, Matya said.

“At the time, we didn’t think we could even afford that,” he said.

Then, after requests from the Lincoln Diocese persuaded the Newman Center to construct a new building, Matya decided the project was best for the church’s future. Since then, Matya and staff at the Newman Center became dedicated to realizing this dream, relying on generous donors, student support and a little bit of good fortune.

“Our goal for this new building was to make it one-hundred percent accessible to students,” Werner said.

The new building is almost twice as large, with the church now able to seat up to 650 people, as opposed to 300 before.

And in many ways, the sanctuary unifies the collection of refurbished church artifacts and customized projects from around the world.

Above the altar suspends a crucifixion scene entirely carved of wood by artists in Italy. The baptismal font and other altar furnishings were retrieved from England. The stained glass window above the altar was crafted by a renowned company in Munich. The back altar even had specially designed shields engraved into the wood, representing Pope Benedict and Pope Francis, marking the date of the church’s construction.

Throughout the process, Clark said, church members had looked to create a space that could unify these various elements while reflecting the character of students at the Newman Center.

The church’s stained glass window depicts a scene alluding to the Book of Revelation, with Jesus sitting on a throne and a crow of saints

below. The saints were chosen from a poll of students by the Newman Center. Clark said the 20-by-22-foot window was the largest commissioned project of its kind by the artists since 1915.

“We’ve gotten quite a few surprised looks when we told people this was for a college campus in Nebraska,” Clark said.

Besides architectural awe, Matya, Werner and Clark said they hope the images and atmosphere of the sanctuary will inspire students to engage more fully with their beliefs.

“I probably won’t have to write a homily for about two months because everyone will just be busy looking around,” Matya said jokingly.

“But we hope students will come and, when they see the new space, be moved to learn more deeply about their faith.”

POPE: FROM 5 In June of last year, he arranged a prayer meeting between Israeli and Palestinian presidents.

He was also essential in brokering secret talks between the U.S. and Cuba, which led to their agreement to normalize relations. In September 2015, Francis will become the first pope to speak before the U.S. Congress.

And that’s where Wiedel sees Francis’s unifying force as a pontiff: engaging the Catholic Church in the contemporary world within the frame of traditional doctrine.

“He’s really shaken things up,” Wiedel said. “He’s very much looking forwards in regards to how to engage the church with society, while still remaining firm in Catholic tradition.”

Francis also boasts broad appeal as the first Jesuit pope with his disposition to social justice and embracing the outcast. Since his ordination, the pope’s approval has gained steadily among non-Catholics.

But more importantly, Wiedel and Jansen see the Newman Center’s mission in develop-

ing personal relationships above institutional judgement, to create understanding and not division. Both Jansen and Wiedel said they see their capacity to do so will only continue to increase with the completion of the new Newman Center and St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church.

“Our primary interest as the church is in the people and the relationships themselves, not just in an issue,” Jansen said.

A main emphasis of the new building was vastly expanding the platforms for education and discussion. One development to that end is the formation of a new accredited Catholic Studies program slated for 2017.

“These conversations are best when it comes with a lived experience with each other,” Wiedel said. “We have to bring people in to have a dialogue on these issues. As the church, we want to open our doors to that.”

UNLPD recieves rare national accreditation JACOB ELLIOTT DN Last week, the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies granted the UNLPD an accreditation after a three-year review of the department.

In order to receive an accreditation, enforcement agencies must perform and record several tasks to show that they’re doing their best to help the public and ensure that the law can be properly enforced. Nation-wide, about only 2.5 percent of campus law enforcement agencies and 4 percent of public safety agencies have gained accredited status through the commission.

CALEA’s department standards are meant to establish fair and nondiscriminatory practices in police departments and strengthen crime prevention capabilities. The accreditation process – though based on a universal set of standards – differs slightly by department.

“You have to prove that you are complying with the standards that they give you,” said Michael Maas, UNLPD’s compliance and accreditation manager. “It shows that you are doing the best practices, and it makes you more professional.” CALEA was created in 1979 as a credentialing authority through the joint efforts of law enforcement’s major executive associations: the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, the National Sheriffs’ Association and the Police Executive Research Forum.

In some ways, receiving accreditation is the end of a long process, but Maas said he doesn’t see the process as over.

“It allows for a continual improvement,” Maas said. “Only a small percentage (are chosen), and it shows that you are willing to go the extra mile to be one of the best agencies.”

Nebraska rifle member wins national championship SETH OLSON DN

It wasn’t until a few days after the trip when she was customizing her national championship ring that it hit her. Designed with a Nebraska logo, rifle art and the Bible verse 2 Timothy 1:7, the ring showed sophomore Rachel Martin of the Nebraska Rifle team she actually won the individual national title in smallbore.

Martin and the Huskers had just recently arrived back in Lincoln from the NCAA Rifle Championships in Fairbanks, Alaska, where Nebraska finished fourth nationally and was anchored by none other than the sophomore standout herself. Martin earned a qualifying score of 584 and a 453.3 in the smallbore finals to claim her first national title.

“I was up in Memorial Stadium meeting with a few people in the athletic department as I was designing the championship ring. That was when it actually hit me when I thought, ‘Oh, I actually did that,’” Martin said. “Since we had to catch a long flight back around 3 a.m. and we were all exhausted, I didn’t think about it too much in Alaska, but then it finally sunk in with the conversations and the ring.”

As for Martin’s immediate reaction to winning a national title, she was calm when she found out she won, largely because of how intense the final was.

“It was kind of odd because I didn’t realize what had happened at first,” Martin said.

“I got off of the line and I was very calm, but a few minutes after I realized it, this big, big smile appeared on my face. The final was so high pressure I had got so caught up with to keep doing my job and keep going. So when the final got over, I was still kind of in that mode. I was definitely happy; it just took a little bit of time.”

As Martin was trying to take it all in on the line where she had just finished shooting, junior teammate Maggie Mical was the first to give Martin a big hug.

“They were much more excited than me at first,” Martin said. “It was nice to have them come up and have them right there in that moment. They realized that winning this was really hard for me, so for them to show that was really, really cool to see.”

After coach Ashley Rose and the entire team came out of the stands to congratulate the new national champion, they immediately got her shooting gear and the rest of Martin’s stuff off of the line to take some stress off of her.

“Rachel battled back,” Rose said. “It was an intense final to get where she was and by then, people were coming up to talk to Rachel so we just took care of her. When she won, I was just as excited as everybody else was for her, but it didn’t hit me until they announced it. It was a surreal moment.”

Martin said she hadn’t been doing great heading into the finals and confessed that she didn’t know if the final was going to end

Coach Rose said it is her privilege to help all of her shooters, whether it’s with classes or on the range. Sharing that special moment with Martin was just icing on the cake for the coach in her first year at Nebraska, after previously being an assistant coach at Kentucky.

I don’t hate Mack Brown anymore Josh Kelly

Coach Mack Brown was the bane of my existence as a child.

Growing up in Omaha, he and the Texas Longhorns were the first things I grew to hate.

Before I had to ditch my fandom to become a sports journalist, I wore red almost every day.

So to see Mack Brown in Lincoln on Saturday brought me back to Nebraska’s days in the Big 12 Conference, when it played Texas almost every year.

To put things into perspective of my frustration with Texas, I was born in 1993. Since I was put on this Earth, the Longhorns have gone 9-1 against the Huskers. The only win against the burnt-orange enemy came in 1999 in the Big 12 Championship, when I was 6 years old and didn’t pay attention to sports as intensely as I do now. While Nebraska was celebrating after defeating Texas 22-6 in San Antonio, I was raving about Toy Story 2.

I wasn’t able to fully enjoy a win against Texas because it never happened when I understood what was going on. After that lone win, every loss was vivid in my childhood memories. Each loss ruined my day and it was a different player each time.

In 2003, it was Vince Young. In 2007, it was Jamaal Charles. And in 2006, it was Terrence Nunn when he fumbled the first down reception at the 42-yard line. All of them had the same common thread: Mack Brown.

So when I heard he was coming to Lincoln for a coaches clinic, I was intrigued.

I entered the indoor field at the Hawks Center, where he was speaking to many high school coaches from around the region.

Seeing him in person, I felt a foot shorter and 100 pounds lighter. He and the Longhorns were my nemesis growing up as a short, skinny kid in Nebraska, who was also rocking a bowl cut.

A few minutes later, I was joined by fellow write Michael Dixon, who’s from Fort Worth, Texas. It only took him seconds to call Brown God. After giving some pointers to the coaches, he came over and spoke to the media. And yes, he was asked about the one second left on the clock for the 2009 Big 12 Championship.

“That one’s been talked about way too much,” Brown said. “If we’d missed that field goal, it’d never even be talked about.”

He did admit he still reminisces about that specific game, and the conversation continued when he strolled through the Ndamukong Suh Strength & Conditioning Center.

“I got the shakes and started breaking out into hives,” Brown said when he saw Suh’s name on the wall.

“I think I helped him build that,” Brown joked. “Because, in the ‘09 game, he knocked everybody out we had and that got that salary way up. So I think I really built that weight

Mack Brown spoke to media and reflected on his time at Texas and the games the Longhorns and Huskers played while Brown was the head coach.

room more than people think I did.”

In his first visit to Lincoln without having to coach, he was able to have some fun with the media. He was wearing a black jacket with a red shirt underneath, which he pointed out, and he showed his support for coach Mike Riley. They both went from lower Power 5 schools to storied programs with a larger budget.

Aside from the chuckles, he was insightful on his transition from North Carolina to Texas. He said you go to a place like Texas or Nebraska because everyone cares about what you’re doing, which can be both good and bad.

He also gave a nod to the media after working with ESPN for a year. Just as I was able to ditch my red wardrobe, I was able to keep an open mind with Mack Brown. He’s a guy who understands football, understands the media and understands what Mike Riley has to do at Nebraska. He made the skinny kid from Nebraska look like an idiot.

I’m glad I didn’t hold on to a few things from my childhood. First, is that I no longer have a bowl cut, and the second is I no longer hate Mack Brown.

OK, so maybe Nebraska baseball got a little too comfortable playing in its home state.

In the first series away from Hawks Field in nearly a month, the No. 18 Huskers (23-10, 3-3 Big Ten) were swept by No. 17 Maryland (227, 7-2 Big Ten) this weekend in College Park, Maryland.

Inclement weather Friday postponed the series opener to Saturday, forcing the two teams to play a doubleheader before finishing the series on Sunday.

The Huskers were trounced, 8-3 and 8-2, in the first two games, and blew a 5-0 lead in the series finale, losing on a walk-off error in the ninth inning.

Both the pitching and hitting, which rounded into form during Nebraska’s 17-game stretch of home games in the state, appeared faulty from the start, and the Huskers never seemed to completely settle in.

Now, Nebraska will cap off the brief fivegame road trip with a game Tuesday night at Kansas State.

Game 1: Maryland 8, Nebraska 3 Senior starter Chance Sinclair (4-4), coming off his best outing of the year against Texas, gave up three runs on nine hits in 5.2 innings, one of his worst outings of the year.

The relievers didn’t get any help from the defense behind them and gave up five runs in 2.1 innings, including four runs in the seventh, when Maryland led 3-2. That put game one of the doubleheader out of reach for NU. Sophomore reliever Max Knutson recorded just one out and gave up three runs (two earned) on two hits, while freshman reliever Reece Eddins inherited loaded bases and walked the only hitter he faced.

Maryland sophomore Mike Shawaryn (70) threw seven clean innings, giving up three runs on five hits. Junior reliever Robert Galligan gave up just two hits over two scoreless innings.

RIFLE: FROM 10 as coach and shooter has been great and has made it easy for her to confide in. It has helped her through those battles with adversity, like in the final, as well as help to prepare her for the future.”

Martin received plenty of recognition and compliments when she won, but she also got plenty of love and support when she and the team arrived back in Nebraska.

“A lot of my family called me and congratulated me and so did a lot of people in the athletic department, even people who I didn’t think they knew who I was,” Martin said. “Their congratulations meant a lot to me.”

Coach Rose said Nebraska Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst had texted her and the team, as well as Martin, congratulations on their outstanding finish at the NCAA Championships. He also sent out an email to everyone in the athletic department so they were all aware. Rose said they were all proud of Martin and the team and happy with how well everything turned out at the NCAAs. Somewhat shocking to Martin’s belief, even some of her professors and classmates had found out she had won a national title. While Martin might not receive half the recognition that Husker football stars Ameer Abdullah or Kenny Bell do for a remarkable achievement, many people still did take notice of her accomplishments.

Martin said she doesn’t dress up too much, noting that she normally wears Nebraska clothes, but the Husker rifle apparel she was wearing in class could have sparked a light bulb. Nevertheless, Martin said her professors and classmates must have seen something somewhere about her winning because more people knew than she thought would.

“A couple of my professors knew I had won, which was pretty surprising to me,” Martin said. “It was weird, but a good kind of weird, going into class and having them talk about it. Winning a national title is not something that many people would think you did, so for them to notice that and congratulate me was really cool.”

Martin may be a national champion now, but that doesn’t mean she has started slowing down. Her and sophomores Jaycee Carter and Lauren Phillips are still practicing for the Junior Olympics on April 19.

Martin is also leaving on Monday for South Korea to shoot in a world cup match for the U.S. national team. Although Martin said she is still busy and still practicing, even after becoming a national champion, she has enjoyed still getting to spend extended time with her coach and her teammates.

“It’s nice to still be practicing and have a couple more matches,” Martin said.

“Plus, I still get to see the girls because we still hang out quite and bit and grab dinner together.”

It turns out that life doesn’t become any less hectic after you become a national champion, but Martin has found out there is still time for both improvement as well as a dose of fun with teammates and close friends.

Freshman guard Natalie Romeo was cited for possession of marijuana in her dorm room on Friday night. This is the second time this semester a Nebraska athlete has been in the news for marijuana, as Randy Gregory failed a drug test at the NFL combine.

Marijuana continues to be issue at NU JOSH KELLY DN An increasing number of states have become comfortable with recreational marijuana use, but the use of the drug at universities and in athletics remains a gray area for coaches to deal with.

This semester, two names in Husker sports have been in the news for drug use.

The most recent incident came this weekend when freshman and Nebraska women’s basketball guard Natalie Romeo was caught smoking marijuana in a dorm room on Friday night.

Officers were given consent to enter the room, and Romeo admitted to smoking prior to their entrance. She was cited for having less than an ounce of marijuana.

Last month, it was released that recently departed defensive lineman Randy Gregory failed his NFL Combine drug test, testing positive for marijuana. According to an NFL.com report, Gregory tested positive for marijuana in January 2014 and April 2014 at Nebraska.

Despite former Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini declaring marijuana “a real problem” in society and damning the drug, Gregory still played in the 2014 season for the Huskers.

Several Nebraska football players declined to comment last week on the topic of drug use in college athletics and the news of Randy Gregory’s drug test, but coach Mike Riley was vocal on his stance against it all.

“I’m aware nationally of how prevalent it is,” Riley said “The fact it’s becoming legalized in a few states around the country just kind of shows where people are at with it. I think what we try to do continually with our teams has been the education about any kind of effect that alcohol, drugs, whatever might be, all the time.”

For Riley, it’s all about education. There are many cases where drug use gets in the way of athletics.

“We just keep trying to pounding that home,” Riley said. “The fact of the matter is, with the use of alcohol or drugs, you can change your life in the blink of an eye. And we got lots of stories that can be passed on, to try to hit home with that.

That is a continuing part of the education, I think, that all educators at every level need to have, not just football coaches in college. It’s definitely an issue.”

The NCAA’s drug-testing program is similar to the World Anti-Doping Code, which lists three reasons why it’s necessary to have drug tests in

athletics.

First, to prevent cheating through the use of performance-enhancing substances and method.

Second, to deter athletes from ingesting substances that may harm the athlete’s health.

Third, to deter athletes from ingesting substances or engaging in doping methods that are contrary to the spirit of the sport.

For these reasons, the NCAA can step in and ban athletes from championship events, a punishment that Riley and other college coaches are aware of.

“There are substances, like marijuana, that will, if tested by the NCAA and tested positive... the player can lose a lot of football games because of it,” Riley said. “So there’s big, big ramifications for them.”

At Nebraska, there are built-in repercussions through the athletic department. First is education and then the determined length of that education. After that it can go as far as missing games and so on, which is something coach Riley said he wants to avoid.

“It just keeps getting worse until its over,” Riley said. “And hopefully we don’t get to that.”

WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS

NU gymnastics advances to NCAA Championship BECCA MANN DN AMES, IOWA – The No. 9 Nebraska gymnastics team is going to the NCAA Championships after finishing second in their regional competition at Iowa State this weekend.

This year’s regional competition took place at the Iowa State campus in Ames, Iowa.

The location was a reasonable distance from Lincoln, but many Husker fans made the trip.

Having a large audience at the competition allowed the team to feel right at home.

“Most, if not all of our parents made it to this meet, so it was fun competing for them today and seeing how excited they got for us,” senior Jessie DeZiel said.

The atmosphere inside the Hilton Coliseum was tense on Saturday evening as six teams battled for the chance to earn a berth into the 2015 NCAA National Championships. The Nebraska women’s gymnastics team made its 31st appearance in regional competition, the first being in 1985.

The Huskers entered competition as the No. 2-seed, behind the No. 1-seed and the No. 4 Louisiana State Tigers. Coming in as the No. 3-seed was No. 16 Denver, followed by 23rd-ranked Washington, Michigan State and Iowa State. Joining the all-around competition was Jamie Lewis, Kim McRobbie and Kara Witgen from Air Force and Katie Fiorilli and Courtney Pickett from University of Wisconsin-White Water. In addition, Annie Graft, Alexandra Stych and Jessica Wallander from Air Force competed as event specialists.

Nebraska began competition on a bye, something that the team was looking forward to. Washington also started on a bye as Denver began on beam, Michigan State on vault, LSU on bars and Iowa State on floor.

The Huskers joined the line-up during the second rotation as they took on the parallel bars. Last weekend during the Big Ten Championships, the team landed a seasonbest 49.475 in the event. Sophomore Danielle Breen began the event for the Huskers, earning a 9.850 for her near-perfect performance.

Senior Desire’ Stephens kept the momentum going for the team, landing a 9.825.

Rounding out the event was DeZiel with a stuck landing and 9.850.

The Huskers finished the second rotation with a 49.175 on bars, a slight edge over the 49.050 earned by LSU in the event.

NU entered the third rotation on beam, something that the team struggled with during the Big Ten Championships. This was the first rotation event for the Huskers last weekend, who earned a 48.725 after facing balance problems throughout the competition.

Breen once again started off the Huskers, earning a 9.775 for her performance. Stephens followed suit with a solid routine and 9.750.

NU continued to excel as Williams completed a strong performance, followed by a stuck

dismount. She earned a 9.825 in the event.

Hollie Blanske added in another 9.850 to the score. Jennifer Lauer couldn’t hold on after a back tuck, which resulted in a score of 9.325.

DeZiel picked things back up for NU, earning a 9.800 to finish the event with a 49.000.

After three rotations, LSU held the top spot with a 98.250, followed by Nebraska and Iowa State tied with scores of 98.175. Denver grabbed the fourth spot with a 97.825.

Rounding out the line-up was Michigan State and Washington with 97.450 and 97.325, respectively.

Blanske led the floor exercise for the Huskers next with a 9.925, the highest score of the night. Ashley Lambert followed closely behind with a 9.900, which earned her second in the event. Williams and Lauer produced matching 9.850s to help lead the Huskers to a 49.400.

For the sixth and final rotation, Nebraska took on beam as Denver moved to parallel bars and Michigan State took on floor as Washington moved to beam. Iowa State and LSU finished the competition on byes.

Grace Williams was NU’s first vaulter and landed a 9.825. Ariel Martin was next in the line-up for the first time this season.

Martin suffered a pre-season injury and was unable to compete in any regular season meets. She powered through her nearperfect vault and stuck landing to earn a 9.850. Stephens and Blanske then produced consecutive 9.850s, helping NU power through their final rotation. DeZiel stuck her landing to round out the rotation with a 9.950, the highest vault score of the night.

Nebraska played the waiting game as scores were confirmed for the final rotation.

The Huskers ended the night with a 196.950, earning a second place finish to qualify for the NCAA National Championships.

The Huskers also took home individual titles as DeZiel was crowned regional vault champion for the third year in a row, and Blanske tied for first on floor with LSU’s Jessie Jordan.

The all-around title was awarded to Jessie Jordan for her 39.575 score. Following closely behind was DeZiel, who tied for second with a score of 39.425. Williams continued the line of Huskers, earning a 39.350 to tie for third. Rounding out the group in fourth place was Nebraska’s Stephens and Blanske.

“They didn’t have to be perfect today, they didn’t have to be heroes today.” Kendig said, “They just had to do what they were capable of doing to do what needed to be done for us to get to Texas for nationals.”

The Huskers left Ames with a second place finish and two event titles. With their performance Saturday night, the team will head to Fort Worth, Texas to compete in the 2015 NCAA National Championships.

BASEBALL: FROM 11 Sophomore designated hitter Nick Cieri went 2-for-3 with two RBIs to lead the Terrapins, while Nebraska only managed seven hits as a team – six of them coming from the top of the order.

Game 2: Maryland 8, Nebraska 2 Things didn’t get any easier for NU in the second game of the doubleheader, as the Huskers fell behind early and were never able to overcome the deficit.

Maryland scored three times in the first, and by the seventh inning had built a 7-1 lead.

Terrapins sophomore second baseman Brandon Lowe, one of the Big Ten’s best hitters, went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and a walk.

Junior third baseman, Jose Cuas, also went 3-for-4 with three runs scored.

Nebraska senior starter Kyle Kubat had his worst outing of the season, giving up six runs on nine hits over 4.2 innings, while junior reliever Austin Christensen gave up a pair of runs and hits in 3.1 innings of work.

Again, NU struggled offensively, only scoring two runs on eight hits as a team. Sophomore center fielder Ryan Boldt did go 3-for4, but five NU starters were held hitless. Senior catcher Tanner Lubach went 2-for-4, and senior outfielder Austin Darby added two hits of his own, including a seventh-inning single that was his 200th hit as a Husker.

Game 3: Maryland 6, Nebraska 5 Early on, it looked like NU was going to salvage a win out of the series, taking an early 5-0

lead in the second inning. But just a couple hours later, Maryland completed the sweep on a walk-off throwing error from junior infielder Jake Placzek trying to turn an inning-ending double play, winning 6-5 in the ninth inning.

For a team coached by Darin Erstad, who preaches the importance of tight defense, it was Nebraska’s fourth error of the series - and

by far the most costly.

The Huskers scored five runs on just four hits, aided significantly by Terrapins’ freshman shortstop Kevin Smith, who, with the bases loaded and two outs in the second inning, dropped a pop-up that allowed three NU runs and gave the Huskers a five-run lead.

But the Terrapins kept themselves in the

game and Smith redeemed himself in the seventh inning, mashing a two-run, game-tying home run - Maryland’s third of the game.

Nebraska sophomore starter Derek Burkamper started well, but gave up three runs on four hits over 5.1 innings.

Junior reliever Jeff Chestnut, who had only given up four runs in 23 innings coming into

Sunday, gave up two runs and two hits in just 1.1 innings. Junior reliever Colton Howell threw two innings and wasn’t charged with an earned run, but was on the mound for the ninth inning and was given the loss.

Husker senior outfielder Kylee Muir catches a pop fly. The Huskers are now 20-17 with their two wins over Big Ten foe Ohio State, and are now 8-3 in Big Ten play.

Nebraska sweeps Ohio State on the road in 2-game series BRETT NIERENGARTEN DN The Husker softball team traveled to Columbus, Ohio, for a three-game series against the Ohio State Buckeyes.

With the first game postponed because of rain, the team played a doubleheader on Saturday and took both games to win the series. On Sunday, the Buckeyes picked up a win to avoid the sweep.

GAME 1: Nebraska 7, Ohio State 5 The two teams traded blows in the first two innings with the Buckeyes driving in two off junior Emily Lockman in the bottom of the first. NU answered in the second with three of their own, courtesy of a two-run hit from sophomore outfielder Kylee Muir and a double by freshman infielder Laura Barrow.

They went back and forth again in the fourth inning.

In the top-half, NU used three walks, a hit by pitch and an MJ Knighten RBI single to plate two runs.

The Huskers had the bases loaded with no outs following the two runs, but OSU got out of the jam, limiting NU to a pair in the inning.

Nebraska got out of a bases-loaded jam in the previous inning but wouldn’t make it out unscathed in the fourth. Ohio State homered twice in the inning, both with two outs to score three runs and tie the game at five.

The tie would hold until the seventh when Muir and Barrow each had RBI singles. Muir’s, which came with one out, was the game-winner.

Emily Lockman pitched a complete game for the Huskers and recorded her 13th win in her last 14 Big Ten Conference starts.

GAME 2: Nebraska 11, Ohio State 7 Nebraska’s offense was powered by the long ball in Game 2. Four different players combined for five Husker homers.

Senior catcher Steph Pasquale was the catalyst offensively, launching two home runs. The first was a three-run shot in the third to put NU up 4-1, and the second came in the top of the sixth to make it a 9-4 game.

Pasquale finished 3-for-3 with 5 RBI. Muir’s offensive production from game one spilled over into Game 2, hitting a home run two batters after Pasquale in the third to stretch the lead to 5-1. Both home runs hit the scoreboard in right field.

MJ Knighten hit a homerun to left in the top of the fifth to give Nebraska a 6-4 lead.

Knighten finished the game 3-for-5 and extended her hit streak to 17 games.

Freshman Kaylon Jablonski got her second career win in the circle and helped her own cause by opening the scoring for the Huskers in the second with a solo shot, the first of her career.

GAME 3: Ohio State 5, Nebraska 4 Game 3 was a pitcher’s duel through the first 5.5 innings until both teams scored a majority of their runs, but those runs weren’t scored without controversy.

Ohio State scored on a third-inning single and held the game’s only run until the bottom of the sixth, which is when things got interesting.

OSU had already scored twice in the inning

and had runners on second and third with one out.

The Buckeyes tried to squeeze the run home from third and did so successfully but not before a late safe call. A run-down ensued between first and second and during the rundown, the OSU runner who started on second tried to score. She was thrown out at the plate, and the Huskers left the field thinking the inning had ended because they thought the runner was called out at home on the squeeze. This wasn’t the case, and the batter on the play scored to give the Buckeyes their fifth run.

After a long meeting between the umpires they decided both runs on the wild-bunt play stood and Ohio State took a 5-0 lead into the seventh.

The Huskers didn’t go down without a fight.

They scored four times in the inning, and MJ Knighten hit a three-run home run, her only hit of the game, which extended her hit streak to 18.

Lockman took the loss for NU. Nebraska is now 20-17 overall and 8-3 in the Big Ten.
