LETTER FROM THE EDITOR JOSH KELLY DN For the first time in years, I missed the Tunnel Walk at Memorial Stadium.

Saturday’s Red/White Spring Game was the first Nebraska Cornhuskers football game in three years I haven’t covered a for The Daily Nebraskan. To be honest, I didn’t know how I felt about letting go of a beat I was chasing from day one at the student newspaper.

Because I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, Husker football occupied every Saturday during the fall. It marked some of the highlights of my childhood, from laying on the floor as a toddler during the national championship runs to screaming at Colt McCoy during the 2009 Big 12 Championship game.

It never showed in any of my stories, but I was a huge Husker fan growing up. It’s hard not to be when you grow up in Nebraska as an avid sports fan.

But when I became a beat writer, I flipped a switch in my head to make sure I looked at my favorite team as fairly as possible. Sometimes, I had to be a little harsh.

But on Saturday, I didn’t have to think about any of that. I had my free student ticket, and I joined my friends in East Stadium halfway through the first quarter.

I was late because I walked from my house, minutes away from Haymarket Park. Usually, I have a parking pass

to park next to the stadium.

I walked over to the student section and a few classmates asked me why I didn’t have my reporter’s notebook on me and a press pass around my neck.

“That’s not my thing anymore,” I said, entering the section.

One of the first things I did was sit down in the bleachers and tweet a photo of my view.

Minutes later, former Husker beat writer Lanny Holstein texted me. I was pretty sure he saw my tweet.

Lanny: #StudentSection #GBR Me: I had to pay for a Valentino’s Pizza. This is bad.

It seems like Lanny’s adjusted back to his fandom of Husker football. That’s something I will struggle to do this season.

I’m still unsure whether I’ll be in Nebraska to enjoy the fan experience this fall after graduation. I’m unsure whether I can put my skepticism aside and revert back to the fan I was in high school, who was obsessed with Husker football.

I can try to flip the switch Sept. 3 when Nebraska hosts Fresno State, but whether it works is a whole other thing.

Age of majority inhibits those seeking mental help

Law requires Counseling and Psychological Services to have guardians’ permission to seek services for those under 19.

MARCELLA MERCER DN At 18, young adults across Nebraska can buy cigarettes, get married and attend college. But they cannot seek mental health services without parental consent.

Nebraska is one of just three states where the age of majority is older than 18. In the eyes of the law, people in Nebraska, as well as Alabama and Mississippi, are considered minors until they reach 19.

This can be a barrier to University of Nebraska-Lincoln students trying to access

mental health care. By law, the university’s Counseling and Psychological Services program requires students under age 19 to get parental consent before they begin treatment. Minor students must have their parent or guardian either sign a form or call the University Health Center.

Dr. Robert Portnoy, CAPS’ department head, said students sometimes wait until they’re 19 to seek mental health services to avoid telling their parents.

“Most parents are very supportive of their sons and daughters getting the help that they need, but unfortunately, that’s not a universal value,” he said.

But the “Consent for Treatment of a Minor” form is mostly an inconvenience, not a deterrent, he said.

“I think it’s more of a bureaucratic annoyance,” he said. “I don’t think it’s had a huge impact... but I do acknowledge that there are people that lack services because of the requirement of parental permission.”

Sarah Pogue, a sophomore communication studies major, said she sought CAPS

An out-of-this-world learning opportunity

PHOTO BY ANDREW BARRY | DN

Elsbeth Magilton, the executive director of the Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law LL.M. Program, teaches Eli Bickley about space junk removal at Astronomy Day in Morrill Hall on Sunday. She said that it can be difficult to remove space junk without damaging functional satellites, recreating a hypothetical removal program with a net, ping pong balls and a kiddie pool.

EMILY MCMINN DN Ms. Frizzle stood next to the atmosphere and helped children pick out floating satellites with butterfly nets.

The teacher from “The Magic School Bus,” portrayed by a volunteer, used a kiddie pool filled with ping-pong balls – representing the atmosphere and satellites, respectively – to teach kids about international space law at Morrill Hall’s “Astronomy Day” Sunday, April 17.

Astronomers, engineers and physicists taught children and their families about planets, optics, telescopes, space law, nanotechnology and 3D printing.

Hands-on activities such as the kiddie pool game

kept the crowd of mostly elementary school-aged children and their parents engaged.

Zach Thompson, the director of the Mueller Planetarium at Morrill Hall, coordinated the event.

“We are celebrating the stars and the planets, and we’re also celebrating the science that goes along with it that has helped our understanding of the stars and planets progress over time,” Thompson said.

Thompson said one of the event’s goals was to show people astronomy isn’t just about planets; it’s a multi-faceted field.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln graduate Renee Taylor brought her three kids to the event.

“My 8-year-old loves astronomy,” Taylor said.

“He got into it through Boy Scouts. And my kids love museums.”

Taylor’s 16-year-old son came to Morrill Hall on a preschool field trip several years ago and came back with his parents and two brothers, 6 and 8, to experience the University of Nebraska State Museum with his family.

The Prairie Astronomy Club brought six telescopes to Astronomy Day. “It is a good outreach to talk to people about astronomy and show people telescopes,” said David Churilla, a member of the amateur astronomers club.

He said astronomy is a fun hobby to have.

Morrill Hall partnered with Mueller Planetarium to host Astronomy Day. The planetarium showed a 25-minute film called “Solar Superstorms.” Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch, this film explores a fiery tsunami on

the surface of the sun.

“There is a surprising number of kids here,” junior mechanical engineering student Nathan Borcyk said. He was one of a few engineering club representatives at the event. “It is really awesome how we can teach them about these real world things.”

Borcyk is a member of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Air and Space Research team. The team helped kids make paper airplanes to demonstrate aerodynamics.

Every month, Morrill Hall hosts ”Sunday with a Scientist.” May’s “Sunday with a Scientist” will be about temperature tolerance.

Fiesta on the Green showcases Latino culture

University of Nebraska-Lincoln students juggle a soccer ball at the annual Fiesta on the Green on Friday, April 15, 2016 on the Nebraska Union plaza.

COLLIN SPILINEK DN The University of Nebraska–Lincoln held its annual Fiesta on the Green Friday, April 15, at the Nebraska Union’s plaza and greenspace.

The celebration, held by the Mexican American Student Association, included live music and food catered by a local restaurant.

All students were invited to celebrate His-

panic and Latino culture.

Graduate student Jessica Weed, who works in the Office of Academic Success and Intercultural Services, was one of the coordinators of the event. She said it has been a tradition at UNL for years.

“I know it was postponed a couple of years for organizational reasons, and last year, we actually brought it back,” Weed said. “Last year was in the coliseum. This

year, the weather held out, and we put it back out on the green and plaza. It was a gorgeous day for it.”

Freshman Yasir Al Kameshki said this was the first time he attended the event.

“I came here to enjoy the weather and see what’s happening around here,” Al Kameshki said.

The live music at the Fiesta on the Green was provided by the band “Sabor.” The band

played Latin music as the students ate and talked. Bassist Tomás Jay Gonzalez described Sabor ’s sound as a combination of genres.

“We can play different varieties here and there - a little bit of rock, a little bit of Latin, a little bit of everything,” Gonzalez said Gonzalez said he was not only happy to have such a good time playing, but also see-

“We just like to come out and see a lot of people have fun,” Gonzalez said.

A variety of Latino and Hispanic student organizations set up booths around the plaza to promote their groups, including UNL’s Define American chapter.

The group set up a table to promote and share its Latino culture. The group members asked students to write down what they thought it meant to be an American and took pictures of them with their statements.

Junior Valeria Rodriguez, the president of the organization, said she wanted to raise awareness about immigration, identity and citizenship.

“I think this is important for UNL students because our country is a country of immigrants, and I feel like people need to know and understand that right now,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez also said, considering the discussion of immigration in politics, she wanted to educate people on how the United States’ immigration system affects people, even people at UNL.

it’s a freeing experience. You walk out feeling lighter, physically lighter.”

Pogue said she thinks if she didn’t receive treatment, her life would’ve taken a different turn.

“If (my parents) wouldn’t have given me the consent, I don’t know what I would’ve done because I really needed that,” she said.

“I might’ve dropped out of school. I don’t know. It was unreal the amount of pain that caused me. The process, I think, isn’t the best.”

Portnoy said the law does allow minors to receive treatment without parental consent in certain circumstances. If the student’s life is in imminent danger or if contacting the parents could cause harm to the student, such as in the case of an abusive family, a student can receive CAPS treatment without the form. But these cases are

“extremely rare,” Portnoy said.

Still, students could benefit from a change in Nebraska’s age of majority law, he said. Students who are 17 or 18 and entering college go through a “huge period” of transition and are in need of support, he said.

“Anything that would increase access to services, I would be in favor of,” he said. “If we’d lower the age, I’d be thrilled. If people are struggling, they need to have access to people with which they can sort out their struggles and make sense of their life.”

NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

“They’re affected by it each and every day, either by them being immigrant students or by them being undocumented as students,” Rodriguez said.

Weed said the event was important in exposing UNL students to a different culture.

“We know a lot of students on campus have never been exposed to a Latino culture,” Weed said. “And not that this was 100 percent representative, but it definitely expanded some people’s horizons and let people know there are RSOs on campus that deal with Hispanic and Latino culture.”

Weed said she was glad to see the number of people who came to the event.

“I’m happy with it,” Weed said. “So we’ll definitely be putting it on again next year.”

Huskers fall short, finish runner-up at NCAAs The Nebraska bowling team almost completed the comeback against Stephen F. Austin, but lost game seven in the national championship.

NICK GEBHART DN For the second straight year, Nebraska faced Stephen F. Austin State University for the bowling national championship.

After a tournament full of comebacks and close calls for the Huskers, it was only fitting that Nebraska was down three games to two in the best-

of-seven national championship match, needing a dramatic comeback to win it all.

With their backs against the wall, the Huskers had to ask themselves if this was how they wanted to finish.

“We needed to kick ourselves in the butt,” sophomore Julia Bond said. “We needed to get back out there. We weren’t just going to hand it to them.”

The Huskers delivered in game six, as senior Melanie Crawford and junior Gazmine Mason led the way, winning convincingly 237-160.

But Nebraska came up short in game seven, as SFA won 247-192 and took home the national title.

“We played them for the national championship last year and succeeded,” Nebraska coach Bill Straub said. “Doing it again was harder on us trying to get that done, especially with two seniors gone from last year’s team, and their team was much more relaxed.”

Kasun shines, gives hope for other walk-ons CODY NAGEL DN It seems fitting at a program known for its walks-ons, a player added to the roster three weeks prior would be the hero of Saturday’s RedWhite Spring Game.

Defensive-back Kyle Kasun was the lone player that head coach Mike Riley and his staff picked to join the team after a tryout held prior to spring break.

With eight seconds remaining and a onepoint lead, highly touted freshman quarterback Patrick O’Brien threw the final pass of the game into the hands of Kasun. The White defense stormed the field and hoisted Kasun above their shoulders.

It is a moment he will remember forever.

Saturday’s clutch interception could be the only play he makes in a Husker uniform, or it could be the start of a legacy many walk-ons have previously accomplished.

Nebraska has produced 32 walk-ons that have played in the NFL, including six First-Team All-Americans.

Two more Husker walk-ons, Jack Gangwish and Andy Janovich, are set to be drafted at the 2016 NFL Draft in late April.

Kasun is one of 13 walk-ons in the 2016 class.

So, who are the rest?

Offense Ty Chaffin – Burwell, Nebraska (WR)

Chaffin was an all-state wide receiver at Burwell High School in the heart of Nebraska. With 48 receptions for 870 yards and 14 touchdowns, Chaffin aided Burwell to its best finish in school history in 2015.

NU left looking for answers after winless road trip MICHAEL DIXON DN When Nebraska left for Ann Arbor, Michigan, on Thursday, April 14, it likely figured to return with some answers to the questions that had arisen from a two-game skid in the days leading up to the important three-game set with No. 22

Michigan.

Instead, the Huskers came back with three more losses, a season-long five-game losing streak and perhaps a few more unanswered questions than they’d left with.

“Now, we’re really going to find out who we are, and what this team is made of,” coach Darin Erstad said on the post-game radio broadcast Sunday. “I love it.”

Now, after a red-hot March, Nebraska sits at 22-14 and just 7-5 in the Big Ten, sixth among the conference’s 13 baseball programs.

The Huskers will next head to Manhattan, Kansas, for a midweek game against Kansas State Tuesday, April 19.

Huskers need Armstrong’s ground game this fall MICHAEL DIXON DN

Overthrow after overthrow.

Senior quarterback Tommy Armstrong struggled to find his receivers all afternoon long, so when a first-down pass sailed well over the head of receiver Bryan Reimers, nobody thought much of it Yet, none of it mattered.

Next up, a draw play gave Armstrong plenty of room to scramble for another first down.

Instead, the QB sprinted up the middle and burned the NU secondary for a 37-yard touchdown Maybe Armstrong won’t ever be the play-caller that fits perfectly into Mike Riley’s system. But his ability to run will always leave an impression, and in Nebraska’s annual Red-White Spring Game Saturday afternoon, Armstrong reminded us all that he just might be the best ball-carrier the program has.

“I was hoping (Riley) didn’t call that play,” Armstrong chuckled, when asked about the touchdown run. “But I knew he was going to call it.”

That 37-yard TD run wasn’t even Armstrong’s longest: he broke out for 44 yards late in the second quarter, and finished his final Spring Game with 120 yards on six carries, counteracting a mere 80

passing yards on eight completions.

Armstrong, who played a majority of the first three quarters in the unconventional and glorified scrimmage, ran for 10-plus yards on five of those six carries, while only two of those eight completions went for 10 or more.

It wasn’t the kind of day you’d expect to see from Armstrong, especially with a pair of springs and a full season under Riley’s pass-first, pro-style under his belt. But approaching Riley’s all-important second year after an uninspiring 6-7 debut, perhaps Saturday afternoon was a reminder of how he can use Armstrong to get the most from a tough, forthcoming fall.

“In general, (Armstrong’s) choices were good and his reads were good,” Riley said. “I’m encouraged by it. We get a clearer picture of what this has to be.”

His performance also came on a day when the entire running corps looked healthy, confident and quick. Terrell Newby took six carries for 48 yards.

Devine Ozigbo had five and 31. And Mikale Wilbon, likely NU’s third back in August, finished with 31 yards on eight carries.

But in all of that, Armstrong still looked the most dangerous. Any time he freed himself and

found room to run, he turned on the jets and ran with as much confidence as he’s had during his time here.

Sure, it’s only spring -- but it’s also the spring in which Riley and Co. had a chance to look back on what went wrong in Year One and how they can fix it in Year Two. Annual spring overreaction aside, Saturday was a great day. “(The run game), as a vision, looks pretty good to me,” Riley said. “I’m excited about it.”

Armstrong had to pick his moments to run in 2015. His season-high 76 yards came in the seasonending win against UCLA. He ran for fewer than 50 yards in nine of 12 games. His longest run of the year was a 32-yard spring against Illinois. While he had seven touchdowns, he averaged more than seven yards a carry just twice.

Compare that with what he did in 2015, when he ran for 50-plus yards seven times, and broke off a 10-plus yard run in all 13 games.

And that year, when Armstrong ran for 50 or more yards, NU won all seven games. When he failed to get there, the Huskers were just 2-4.

Needless to say, Riley could afford to use the quarterback’s legs a little more often.

“If I have to run the ball, I’ll run the ball,” Armstrong said. “But it’s all about what the coaches want to do. They put us in the right position to win games. If it takes me running a little more, I’m up for it, but we’ve got athletes all over the field.”

Perhaps the aforementioned statistics don’t mean that when Armstrong runs more, Nebraska wins more simply because Armstrong’s a great runner who’s tough to stop.

While that may be true, the answer goes even further than that.

Really, using Armstrong on the ground means keeping a quarterback who’s both turnover-prone and inconsistent out of dangerous situations, and putting him into places he’s more comfortable.

After all, Nebraska is only 3-7 when Armstrong throws 30-plus times.

Therein lies the problem.

And Riley knows it, too. He didn’t come to Lincoln to reinvent the wheel: he just had to reconstruct one previously shattered into pieces.

Finally, this spring, maybe he picked up Armstrong’s piece and found a way to make it fit and get this thing rolling.

Four Huskers earn All-America, finish 7th at NCAAs STAFF DN

Thanks to a strong showing from four of its seven gymnasts, the Nebraska men’s gymnastics team placed seventh at the NCAA Championships in Columbus, Ohio.

Seven Huskers advanced to the finals on Saturday, April 16, and four of them earned All-America honors to propel Nebraska to its highest program finish since 1999.

Two of the four Huskers to earn All-America awards were seniors Ethan Lottman and Sam Chamberlain. In their last outing in Husker uniforms, the pair went out on top with strong showings in the finals.

Each placed third on the pommel horse and parallel bars en route to claiming their second AllAmerica honors. Lottman scored a 15.25 on pommel horse, while Chamberlain tallied a 15.15 on parallel bars. Chamberlain also had success in the vault finals, where he placed 10th with a 15.00.

The veterans Lottman and Chamberlain weren’t the only Huskers to shine. Senior Austin Epperson and freshman Anton Stephenson also had strong showings in their first-ever finals appearance.

Epperson finished fifth on floor with a 14.70, while Stephenson tied for seventh on parallel bars also with a score of 14.70.

It has been awhile since the Huskers have seen such success on the national stage. The last time four gymnasts each walked away with All-America awards in a single season was in 1998.

The seventh place finish came behind national champion Oklahoma, runner-up Stanford and four Big Ten teams. The strong showing gave the conference five teams in the top seven nationally, displaying the strength of the Big Ten. Ohio State, Illinois, Penn State and Minnesota finished third through sixth place, just ahead of Nebraska.

SPRING GAME: FROM 10 The first drive of the quarter was the only scoring drive for the offense in the traditional meaning of the phrase. Armstrong was again effective on his feet with 51 yards in the quarter including a 37-yard touchdown dash. After three, the offense led 33-21.

Armstrong finished the day with 120 yards on the ground.

What made Riley happiest about his offense was the zero turnovers. The offense was on the

same page for the most part Saturday, and that will bode well come fall.

“I think that the obvious goals for this team when we look at our rankings in the Big Ten conference last year, we cannot turn the ball over like we did,” Riley said. “But of course we have to force some.”

The defense came roaring back in the fourth quarter though, holding the offense to just eight

points; all of which came on one drive. White outscored red 25-8 in the fourth quarter to come away with the win.

The defensive unit will no doubt go through changes between now and the fall. About the only unit that was out in full force this spring was the linebacking crew. It also appears that new defensive line coach John Parrella has a good amount on his plate as Riley announced today that tackles

Kevin Williams and Greg McMullen are pursuing other options outside of Nebraska football.

“I think this group is a great group,” Riley said.

“They’ll work hard, coach Parrella will bring them along and we’ll be absolutely fine, and we might be better than fine as this thing goes.”

and advanced to face McKendree University. That match wasn’t without drama either. Nebraska held a three games to one lead, but McKendree stormed back to force a game seven.

Bond led the Huskers in game seven, and narrowly won 217-214 to advance to the championship.

Bond said the Huskers tried to approach it like any other match.

“We tried to ignore the lights and the cameras,” Bond said. “And not worry about what the other team was doing.”

Falling just short of a second straight national title left a bittersweet mark on the season.

“It’s disappointing. There’s a general feeling of sadness right now,” Bond said. “But if you told us we would have a chance to win the whole thing, we’d say that would be a great season.”

“We played well. I’m proud of the team and proud of myself. Sometimes, things just turn out the way they do.”

Though the Huskers came up just short of a repeat, Straub was more than satisfied with the team’s effort.

“We tell the kids, ‘You want to walk away from every event you play where you can stare in the mirror and be satisfied with who’s staring back at you,’” Straub said. “That’s the objective at every event we play, and I think we can walk away from this one like that.”

Bond said she is excited for next season and hopes to take on a leadership role. She also plans on working on her mental game, particularly staying relaxed.

Nebraska is losing two seniors, Crawford and Bethany Hedley.

“They’re going be missed,” Straub said. “It means we’ve got to reload.”

As a perennial national contender, the expectations will be high once again for Nebraska, considering the Huskers have played in the national championship game four years in a row.

Bond herself has reached two national championship games in her two seasons at Nebraska, winning as a freshman and now tasting defeat as a sophomore. The difference between winning and losing will only serve as motivation, according to Bond.

“It stings now,” she said. “But this will turn into a fire.”

BOWLING: FROM 10 Huskers had not only beaten them in the title game last season; They played in the qualifying round, which the Huskers won.

Nebraska’s run to the national title was filled with challenges. The tournament started Thursday with qualifying rounds. Though the Huskers started with two losses, they bounced back to win four of the next five. They secured the third seed in the final bracket.

The Huskers’ first bracket match was against Central Missouri, and the title run ended almost as soon as it started. Central Missouri went up three games to two, which put Nebraska in a do-or-die situation.

“We rallied around each other,” Bond said. “It’s a lot easier and more relaxing when you know the team has your back.”

Ultimately, Nebraska won the last two games

Nebraska trailed by five in the second and fell behind 8-1 in the fourth. By the time Nebraska’s offense fully came alive, the three ninth-inning runs hardly threatened Michigan’s 10-3 lead.

Nebraska starter Garett King gave up eight runs on seven hits in 3.0 innings, while Robbie Palkert and Sean Chandler surrendered a pair of runs on two hits in 5.0 innings out of the bullpen.

Eight of Nebraska’s nine starters had a hit, while Jake Meyers continued his roll with two, but Nebraska left 10 runners on base en route to its third straight loss.

Game 2: Michigan 7, Nebraska 2 In a game similar to the series opener, Nebraska walked seven more Wolverines and allowed four to score, while Michigan used a pair of runs in the fourth and five in the sixth to erase a 2-0 Nebraska lead and cruise to victory in game two.

“The one thing that just drives me crazy,” Erstad said, “are the uncontested, non-competitive walks.”

The Huskers outhit Michigan 8-7, but stranded 11 more runners and clinched its first Big Ten series loss.

Starter Jake McSteen hung on for five-plus innings, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks, and Jeff Chesnut gave up three runs—one earned—in an inning of relief. Michigan’s Oliver

Jaskie walked three and gave up two runs in five innings, but the Wolverines’ relievers combined for four shutout innings.

Ryan Boldt finished 0-for-5 and left five runners on, while Jake Placzek walked three times.

Game 3: Michigan 6, Nebraska 1 Needing to salvage just a win from the threegame trip, Nebraska gave up a combined five runs in the sixth and seventh innings, and Michigan cruised to its first-ever sweep of Nebraska with a 6-1 win in the finale Sunday.

Nebraska tied the game at one in the sixth, but Michigan rattled relievers Reece Eddins and Derek Burkamper to win its 25th game of the year.

“We’re going to have to take it to another level,” Erstad said. “That’s unacceptable, and it’s on me for not having them ready to go. I’ve got to do a better job.”

Nebraska finished with four hits—the only one of the three games in which the Huskers didn’t out-hit the Wolverines—and only Jesse Wilkening worked a walk.

“We’ve made the same mistakes in a lot of areas,” Erstad said. “Unfortunately, those are little things that I haven’t been able to correct yet, and get across how important (they are).”
