LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Within the past few months, I’ve found myself in the reality TV renaissance of my life. It started with a binge watch of Bravo TV’s “Vanderpump Rules” on a lazy February day. The show follows a group of aspiring actors, models and musicians who work at SUR (Sexy Unique Restaurant), owned by Lisa Vanderpump of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” fame. Nine episodes and nearly nine hours later, I found myself having more fun watching the show than I had with any other one in recent memory. I’m not alone. Even The New York Times wrote a Letter of Recommendation for the reality show, calling it “the burnout friend who always urges you to take that smoke break, to have another drink, to call in sick to work.” Since then, I’ve started USA Network’s “Chrisley Knows Best,” and CMT’s “Party Down South,” a redneck version of Jersey Shore. There’s something to be said for the value of reality TV. The good ones provide ample entertainment in each episode, stretching out juicy plot lines and ending each season with a twist. The best ones give viewers relatable characters. Of course reality TV is cheesy and melodramatic but it’s also a mindless escape from the stressful situations of daily life. Especially those of college students. Here are a few of our favorites to get you through dead week and finals week. - Gabriella Martinez-Garro, A&E editor.
ing Race.” There may have been some “The Bachelor” nights in those years too but my mother and I would be too embarrassed to admit that a lot of my relationship/sex education came from that show. “The Amazing Race” was a chance to see other countries and cultures while adding an endless amount of cool things to my bucket list. Kayla Simon, Opinion Editor: I think my friends’ family watched Friends, but mine preferred the soundtrack of “Paradise Hotel” to accompany our family dinners. The Chicago Tribune called this show one of Fox’s “sketchiest reality shows yet.” The only rule? “Hook up or go home.” If you appreciate Disney themes like true love, friendship, and hijinks, but wish the movies had more sloppy hookups, this is the show for you. Josh Kelly, Sports Editor: Yeah, watching crazy girls pulling each other’s hair has its niche in reality television. But nothing gets me more excited than finding out what the final mystery ingredient is in “Chopped.” With shows like “The Bachelor” where someone gets cut every week, Chopped goes straight for the jugular and gets rid of every competitor except for one by the end of the episode. It’s a perfect blend of suspense and food.

Lincolnites challenged to 10,000 acts of peacemaking
PHOTO BY INGRID HOLMQUIST | DN
MAURA GILLAN DN On April 3, the Lincoln Interfaith Peacemakers Coalition held their annual peacemaking event at the Lincoln Railyard. They launched their “10,000 Acts of Peace” campaign, a feeder into the internationally-known “One Billion Acts of Peace,” founded by Dawn Engle and Ivan Suvanjieff. The campaign hopes to encourage Lincoln to contribute 10,000 acts, as a community, to the internationally gathered one billion registered acts of peace. The Peacemakers have plans to continue promoting the 10,000 acts of peace until the goal is reached, as well as make efforts to reach out to more college campuses. This is the first time the coalition have hosted their peacemaking event outside the walls of the First Methodist United church, the birthplace of
the Peacemakers 38 years ago. Dawn Engle and the Dalai Lama Skyped into the event to speak to the crowd. Chris Blake, previous chair of the coalition for the last two years, said the point of hosting the event in a public venue like the Railyard was to attract a younger generation of Lincolnites. “Our target audience was really people younger than 30,” Blake said. “That’s where we need to go. The time has come for student liaisons.” As an English and communications professor at Union College, Blake started providing the Peacemakers with a connection to some students. His students at Union developed strategic communications plans for the organization’s social media outreach, provided feedback on the “10,000 Acts of Peace” launch event and helped host peace camps at Indigo Bridge books every two years for inner city kids.
“We’re also in the midst of a Peace Week at Union College,” Blake said. “This is our ninth annual Peace Week.” As the first city to sign on to the “One Billion Acts of Peace” campaign, the international peace community now has its eyes on Lincoln. Mayor Chris Beutler also designated the week of April 3 to forever be “City of Peace Week.” Martha Gadberry is a five-year member of the Peacemakers and the most recently elected chair of the organization. The Peacemakers are in the process of deciding if they should continue to promote the 10,000 acts of peace or begin preparing for next year’s event. “It’s at a crossroads now,” Gadberry said. “I don’t know where it’s going to go.” Gadberry said she aims to capture Lincoln’s energy and direct it towards peacemaking. “The peacemaking coalition is a passion of
mine,” Gadberry said. “I know a lot of people in Lincoln who are peacemakers and don’t realize it.” The Peacemakers plan to reach out to more college campuses and grow within the younger populations. They hope to establish and strengthen relationships with colleges such as Wesleyan University, Union College, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Those interested in contributing to the “10,000 Acts of Peace” or joining the coalition can register at http://lincolnpeacemakers. com/ . “There are people who could be peacemakers if they thought about it,” Gadberry said. “I’d like to energize that middle-range Lincolnite who could be more active in peacemaking with just a little bit of effort.” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Medieval recreation society finds home at UNL NICK NIENDORF DN The two combatants continuously circle each other. On one side crouches a Swiss knight, on the other a German crusader. The harsh sound of metal on metal erupts with each glancing blow. The German, known as Sir Michael Nymamdus Von Falkenburg, lands a killing blow and his opponent slumps to the ground. He throws up a triumphant fist and removes his helmet. He happily helps his fallen opponent, called Volkmar, back up and the two exchange hearty smiles. The German knight is father to an 11-yearold girl, who sprints up and down the building’s stairs in-between fights. When he returns home, his name is Michael Bull. The 46-year-old works in the financial industry and enjoys playing soccer in local leagues. But Bull’s foremost passion lies in his 16 years spent at the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). The SCA is dedicated to preserving and reenacting the arts and skills of pre-17th century Europe. The organization can be found throughout the United States, as well as in Canada, Australia, Japan and a myriad of European countries. The region Lincoln encompasses is known as the “Barony of Mag Mor.” Fighting is the most popular part of SCA and fighting rules account for the location of each blow and the force behind it. When combatants are struck in the arm, they lose use of it. When they receive a blow to the leg, they’re forced to kneel. “My goal is to kill him, not hurt him,” Bull said with a smile. “So it’s on me and it’s on him to both know that we’re safe.” Marshalls act as referees for the fights and check to make sure that each participant is wearing the correct amount and type of armor. Headshots are allowed, so all fighters are required to have helmets that completely cover and protect the face. Bull said with all the armor worn, the blows are painless as long as the necessary precautions are taken. Pulling on his gauntlets, the knight flashes a smile and flexes his hands. “You’ll find that people who do things outside of SCA are willing to spend money on certain items,” Bull said, gesturing to his hands. “I work on a keyboard and I need my fingers.” Every member lives a life apart from SCA, allowing for a large variety of skills and knowledge to make their way into SCA. While fighting is a large facet, people also get involved through the arts and sciences. “I fight of course,” Bull said. “But I also embroider, I make clothes [and] I’ve made some armor. My wife brews [and] she makes glass beads. She also does calligraphy.” The recreation of medieval garments is one of the most popular outlets, with many members learning how to weave, sew and embroider. Dance, brewery, glass bead making and blacksmithing, among other skills, are also learned and taught by community members. Theresa Norris is positioned in the building’s basement; her hands at work on a loom. She’s making a belt out of wool using techniques from the 10th century. She’s been a member of SCA since she was 12, joining in the early ‘90s. “[It’s] keeping the arts alive,” Theresa said.
COURTESY PHOTO | DN “There’s so much to learn from the past and it’s important to keep it alive. You have to pass it on.” Her husband, Bruce, is situated just down the table. He operates Goin’ a Viking & Brynjolf’s Forge, a storefront that sells things like arrowheads, viking whetstones and custom orders of armour. Most days he works as a maintenance technician for Oriental Trading. For him, the challenge of forging and blacksmithing is what keeps him passionate. He said he couldn’t possibly grow tired of it because there is so much to learn. “You do get caught up in it,” Bruce said. “What I really like is figuring out how they made something with what they had. I mean, sometimes making something that they were capable of making back then, even with modern tools, is very, very difficult.” For Bruce and Theresa Norris, their kids have only gotten the family even more involved in the society. “It’s a family affair,” Theresa said. “If we missed war - we haven’t missed war in 15 years - but if we missed it my kids would go on a rampage. They wouldn’t miss it for the world. It’s so much fun.” It’s not uncommon for whole families to get involved with SCA, as well as groups of friends. Bull said an increasing number of kids are born
into the organization and they are slowly being allowed to participate in tournaments of their own with foam weapons. “They want to do it,” Bull said. “They’re drawn to it. The biggest thing we were worried about was that we didn’t want to detract from them being able to just pick up their swords and play.” One of the SCA’s biggest strengths is retention. Many of its members have been there for years and the community is both vast and strong. There is a growing effort to bring these sorts of activities to the University of NebraskaLincoln through a budding recognized student organization. Carol Thompson is the founder of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Rhosgobel Medieval Recreation Society. Thompson is a graduate students at UNL and first discovered Belegarth, an organization similar to SCA in format, during her time spent at the University of Illinois as an undergraduate. But when she came to Nebraska, she found out that UNL had no such club for her to join. “When I came here and learned there wasn’t an RSO for this at UNL, I said, ‘Well, what do I have to do to change this?’” Thompson said. “Turns out a lot.” Limitations in venue choice have put a damper on the club’s start. Thompson has
struggled to find a consistent place to practice near campus. She wants to stay close to UNL to keep the group accessible to all students. She’s currently trying to gain access to the animal sciences practicum rooms on east campus. “Really, [I want to] just bring it to where the students are and to let them know that it exists and that it’s awesome,” Thompson said. She hopes to find a place that meets SCA regulations so that the two organizations can practice together. She said she believes that there are a lot of students who would be interested in the club, but that the awareness just isn’t there yet. She hopes that making the club more available will change that. For her, the sense of community and self-growth that the organization brings is incentive enough to fight for the RSO. “Everybody is extremely willing to help,” Thompson said. “They bring their whole family. It’s a [whole] get together at events like this. You know, there’s people that are coming after work, and they might be in suit and tie coming [from] work, and they’ve got their gym bag full of armour. The people are wonderful.” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

UNL Skating Alliance unconventional RSO A UNL skating and boarding club has found a home on campus as a recognized student organization.
JOHNNY KEELEY DN The UNL Skating Alliance doesn’t normally play by the rules. But the few rules they do follow are simple: skate and enjoy the company of fellow skaters. The recognized student organization was founded last semester and has 20 members who meet about once a week. Cooper Knaak, a freshman computer science major, is the leader of the alliance and goes by Grand Poobah Cooper. The nickname is just another example of the group’s “no rules” mentality. Freshman Spanish major Grace Kraus said her favorite part of the skating alliance is its spontaneity; in fact, there’s no real organization set in place yet. “You just wait for someone, usually Cooper,
to ask if anyone wants to skate in the group chat and hope that you’re free,” Kraus said. One day when Kraus was walking back from class, she saw Knaak rollerblading. When he sees someone he knows while he’s skating, Kraus said, he’ll skate around them and talk for a while. “I told him I had a penny board and he mentioned he wanted to officially form an RSO,” said Kraus. “Then, like a week later, we had an RSO.” Ryan McManaman, a freshman computer science major, says there’s a fairly even split between rollerblading and longboarding. “Mostly we just skate around whenever the weather is nice,” McManaman said. “But over the winter we would go to the dining halls or just hang out as a group.” The group has also been planning on expanding their horizons from the UNL campus to other places, such as Pioneer’s Park. “I feel like everyone is just very accepting, and we’re all in it because we just want to skate,” McManaman said. For the future of the RSO, Kraus just hopes it remains a group of close-knit people. “I literally have ripped my pants and bled and bruised and fallen innumerable times, but they’ve helped me up,” Kraus said. “It’s definitely different than any other RSO.” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

T-Pain to perform Friday for UPC spring contert JOHNNY KEELEY DN The king of autotune is coming to the Star City. The University Programming Council’s annual spring concert will be held at Pinnacle Bank Arena at 8 p.m. Friday. Doors will open at 7 p.m. The concert will feature headliner T-Pain and special guests Luke Christopher and local rapper Zay Gaines. UPC President Sarah Allen says this will be a different type of concert than what UPC has done in the past. It will also reach a new group of students. “We’re proud of the name recognition,” Allen said. “I think everyone on campus knows who T-Pain is.” T-Pain, whose name is synonymous with the use of autotune and his late 2000s hits like “Bartender” and “Buy U a Drank,” will perform for an hour at Pinnacle Bank Arena. “Our mission at UPC is to make the campus better and bring the campus together,” Allen said. “I think a lot of us remember when T-Pain was cool in middle school and high school; he’s a big throwback.” Luke Christopher, originally from Los Angeles, worked with Usher and John Legend before launching his own solo career. His song “Lot to Learn” has over 17 million plays on Spotify.
Zay Gaines, a local rapper who attended Burke High School in Omaha, will also be performing. Allen addressed the fact that students have to pay for tickets this year, mentioning the move of venue to Pinnacle Bank Arena, production costs and the popular artist UPC chose. “We wanted to bring the best possible event we could for students which required charging them,” Allen said. “This is typical of other universities that also bring largescale artists.” Tickets have already been sold in the thousands. The last day to buy them is Friday in the UPC office, where they’ll be sold until noon. If you miss this deadline, UPC will also be selling tickets at a booth at Earthstock on the Union Plaza until 5 p.m. Tickets are $6 and can be purchased with an N-Card or cash. “I’m very proud of all the work UPC has put into this concert,” Allen said. “We’re looking forward to a successful event and can’t wait to see everyone there.” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

ICE CREAM: FROM 4 cream to people’s door.” After the conception of the idea, the pair began executing their business plan. Ice Cream Bro was up and running within three weeks. The website was designed in fewer than four days. Shiohira, a computer science major, and Rahan, an economics major, built the website from scratch. “I had never built a website from the ground up before,” Shiohira said. All ice-cream orders are placed on their website, icecreambro.com . Every Thursday, the company takes and delivers the orders from 8:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. Their first business night was the Thursday before spring break. Ice Cream Bro sold 20 pints of ice cream in six hours. Next Thursday, they sold 21 pints before midnight. And last Thursday, they sold out of all 26 pints. Right now, they sell six different flavors of Blue Bunny ice cream purchased at HyVee and Walmart for a flat rate of $4. Shiohira and Rahan personally deliver the pints via longboard and bike. They car-
ry a small cooler to keep the ice cream cold. “We can fit approximately 13 pints in one freezer at Kauffman,” Rahan said. “We had to use our neighbor ’s freezer last week to store our stock.” Right now, their next plan is to partner with the UNL Dairy Store to deliver their ice cream around both city and east campuses. “This year is sort of a testing period,” Shiohira said. “And then next year we’re going to try a bit harder and work out the bugs.” If there were any comments to make about those “bugs,” Shiohira said no one wanted the plain chocolate ice cream. “People just don’t like chocolate,” he said.

‘Feeling the Bern’ equals playing with fire
T
he “Feel the Bern” movement has a fiery presence at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. It’s a scorching grassroots campaign that aims to set the political establishment ablaze. The objective: tear down the cronyistic, corporate-run superstructure and configure a new system — a system that gives each and every American a voice — over the smoldering ashes of the old. The political model that Bernie Sanders and his adherents subscribe to is called democratic socialism. Not to be confused with plain old socialism, mind you; they acknowledge the historical failures of regular Lenin/Marxist-style socialism and wouldn’t dare risk treading down that same disastrous path...right? Surely, there’s a fundamental difference between Sanders’ socialism and the socialism that has decimated everything it’s touched. In order to understand what democratic socialism is, let’s look at an excerpt from a document that effectively lists its central objectives: Citizens of the United States of America... are guaranteed the right to employment and payment for their work in accordance with its quantity and quality...The right to education...including higher education, being free of charge; by the system of state stipends for the overwhelming majority of students in the universities...The right to free medical service for the working people... If you thought this was an outline for American democratic socialism, you’re half right; it’s actually Chapter 10 of the Soviet Union’s 1936 Constitution. I saved Bernie the work of changing U.S.S.R. to United States of America, so it should be good to go for his
next speech. Don’t get me wrong, I respect Bernie Sanders. He doesn’t masquerade behind a false identity. In an election as unhinged and bizarre as this one, it’s nice to have someone who’s willing to have a policy-oriented discussion based on genuine beliefs. Unfortunately, those policies have proven to be extremely destructive. When you listen to Bernie deliver his pitch for social justice, and you’re beginning to feel the Bern, you must first ask how he seeks to achieve those objectives. He does an effective job of listing off all the things he’ll give you, and why wouldn’t he? It’s like he’s reading off a Christmas wish list. But it’s important to understand what democratic socialism is in order to know how he plans to achieve those objectives. I went to the Democratic Socialists of America website to uncover what their actual policy prescriptions are. On the front page, they outline their most basic belief: “Democratic Socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few.” If they’re attempting to distance themselves from traditional socialism, they’re not doing an effective job. Marxism, at its founding, based its philosophy around the idea that workers should be the ruling class and run virtually everything through majority rule. The state was designed to be the great overseer whose responsibility was to ensure compliance and maintain order. Fidel Castro iterated, “There is not Communism or Marxism, but representative democracy and social justice in a well-planned
economy,” and Vladimir Lenin confirmed, “Democracy is indispensable to socialism.” How does a system specifically designed to reflect the will of the people become so destructive toward them? There are a variety of reasons for this, but I’ll highlight one in particular. When college, healthcare and well-paying employment become rights, you’re technically entitled to someone else’s service. If the level of supply drops below the level of demand in one of these industries, the government has two options: force citizens to work certain jobs against their will or refuse to guarantee certain rights. Thus, rights become meaningless. The website continues: “We believe that the workers and consumers who are affected by economic institutions should own and control them.” Therein lies the most radical consequence of socialism. Businesses and other private institutions would be forcefully shifted into the perils of mob rule, compelled to do whatever the majority of their workers decide on. Imagine it’s 2017, and America has felt the wrath of the Bern: Walgreens’ corporate ownership is ousted in Bernie’s crusade for social equality, and all authority is given to the employees. They’re granted the responsibilities of running the factories, allocating resources and instilling the means of production — even though they previously had no qualifications. All decisions must be agreed upon by 51 percent of the workforce. Does anyone think this would end well? Who would forcefully seize the power from corporations and distribute the company’s holdings to the employees? Who would
strip business owners of their life’s work and force them to share economic authority with people that previously had no stake in the company? That would be the federal government, of course. Under this economic model, institutional democracy unavoidably collapses into big government totalitarianism because it mandates government intervention as an end-all, be-all. Pick up any history book covering world events in the 20th century, and see the results. It’s no wonder UNL students support the man who promises to pay for their tuition. I get it. Bernie offers a lot of things we all want, conveniently at the expense of those we don’t like. Regardless of how virtuous the democratic socialist movement is, its core policies are no different than the socialism responsible for world destruction. The flames are alluring. They promise to burn down the corrupt system and bestow a new age of equality. Unfortunately, no one’s safe from the wildfire. This is no controlled burn, and it’s already engulfed millions in its wake. All it has to offer are a few seconds of warmth before it burns the entire house down, with everyone in it. If you’re feeling the Bern, step away from the fire before it’s too late.

Life skills shouldn’t replace academics
I
t seems as though every time I go on Facebook, I see an indignant post by one of my high school friends complaining about how high school doesn’t teach them “useful things.” They point to subjects such as taxes, taking out loans and how to jump start a car as more important than traditional school lessons. Most posts also make a dig at those core subjects by saying something like “I don’t know how to file taxes, but thank goodness I know the quadratic formula.” These sorts of posts get a lot of circulation, but are they true? I agree with the basic premise that basic life skills are important to know. Nobody can deny that knowing how to take out a loan is an important piece of knowledge. It’ll undoubtedly come up throughout life from col-
lege loans, to car loans, to taking out a mortgage on a house. The debate then must center around two things; when and how should people learn this information? A school district only has so much time to educate students, and thus must decide how and if to include a finance or other life skill curriculum into their system. It seems many people think life skills are more important than developing a basic knowledge of the four core subjects; math, science, language arts and social studies. After all, taxes apply to everyone, while the equation for force might not. This makes sense at first glance, but a further examination reveals how short-sighted it is. The core subjects reflect a basic level of knowledge in subjects that will lead to poten-
tial career opportunities in the future. Many careers are built off, in some way, the core subjects. I found my love of politics in Mr. Anderson’s AP government class. Taking his class was ultimately what led me to become a political science major. I learned the basics of government and studied Supreme Court cases. He gave me a shoulder to cry on when Mitt Romney lost the presidential election. He also helped me ask a girl out to prom, and if learning to deal with high-pressure nervous situations isn’t a life skill, I don’t know what is. However, just because I chose the social sciences doesn’t mean the four years of science I took in high school were useless. I remember struggling in AP physics and simply not grasping the material. I frequently
required help from my friend Lincoln, who’s now in school to become a geologist. While I didn’t take to science, Lincoln found his passion and his future career in it. At the same time, I developed a basic knowledge of how our earth works that may help me in the future. Maybe I’ll have a case as a lawyer that requires a basic knowledge of sciences, and I’ll have a foundation off which to work. While taking mandated core curricula helped Lincoln find a career, it gave me a basic knowledge of the subject and forced me to learn something I didn’t have a natural ability for. In the end, it was useful for both of us. Simply put, the general academic curriculum high schools teach should give students a basic academic knowledge to build
THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 2016 | 11
DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM on when they graduate. Even if they don’t choose to go into a career in higher education, having that knowledge is important for an educated society. Given that a sizeable number of graduates don’t know what they want to do when they graduate, it’s impossible to specialize for every student. In general, however, they should be able to read and write well, they should know how to do basic math (yes, even the quadratic formula), and they should have a general knowledge of the world around them, both in how humans interact and how the earth works. This knowledge is applicable no matter what career path you choose. Sadly, schools aren’t even doing an effective job of this. As seen in a recent Daily Nebraskan ar-
ticle, a new study found that “one out of every four students entering college in the fall after high school needed remedial courses.” High school graduates are already coming into college with deficiencies in academics, so does it really make sense to add courses in life skills? The primary focus needs to be teaching core academic subjects. Life skills, while important, shouldn’t replace academic subjects when it’s evident that schools are already struggling to effectively teach them. This, of course, isn’t to say that high schools should avoid teaching life skills. There are ways to include life skills lessons in classes. For instance, I remember my calculus teacher combining a math lesson with a Dave Ramsey activity on saving your money.
There can be curriculum requirements that incorporate topics like public speaking, personal finance and voter registration. This would be a far more effective process than mandating a course that teaches essentially the same thing. After all, how many high school students would willingly sign up for a personal finance course? More fun classes such as band, theatre, speech and debate and art, which teach life skills of their own, are vital to development and are preferable to a dry, albeit informative finance class. The best options would be to either make certain life skills a part of classes such as math and English, or host optional lessons where students learn those skills. The idea that we have to change how we teach aca-
demics to fit in something such as how to fill in your taxes is ineffective and inefficient. If students want to learn these skills, give them opportunities to do so, but for the sake of the engineer who realized his passion for math in high school algebra, don’t do so at the sake of the Pythagorean theorem.

Bye Andrew Jackson, Hello Harriet Tubman
W
hen was the last time you used a one-dollar coin to buy something? In fact, when was the last time you saw a one-dollar coin in circulation? I’ve never used one. The problem with the scarcity of these coins is that they’re the only U.S. currency to have a woman’s portrait. People across the country are insisting that the irrelevant one-dollar coin is not enough. And finally, we’re going to get a woman on one of our bills. Jack Lew, the current U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, is in charge of deciding which white guy gets the boot and which new female face will come in to replace him. Last summer, he announced that he was considering removing Alexander Hamilton, the very first Secretary of the Treasury. So the question was, why would we get rid of Hamilton? Really, what did he ever do to be shown the door? There’s no other Founding Father who deserves to be on our currency more than he does. Hamilton was the very first Secretary of the Treasury. Furthermore, he set up our nation’s financial system, established our national bank, and helped unify the nation by getting the federal government to assume state debts. Since Lew announced his intention to remove Hamilton, there’s been plenty of public outcry insisting that he stay. Surprisingly, it’s not just history buffs jumping to Hamilton’s defense. A lot of his support comes from fans of the new Broadway musical “Hamilton.” The biographical hip-hop musical has brought to light many of Hamilton’s achievements as a Founding Father while being catchy and fun. I’ve never really been interested in descriptions of U.S. state debt, but the fact that these financial debates were made into rap battles made them a lot more accessible. Because of this, there are more people than ever, myself included, who care about Hamilton and his successes as U.S. Treasury Secretary. Lin-Manuel Miranda, the Pulitzer Prizewinning author and star of “Hamilton,” personally spoke to Lew in an effort to support Hamilton. It would seem that Lew’s been listening to public opinion. Just yesterday, he announced his official plan for our money. Hamilton, to my relief, gets to stay right where he is. Instead, former President Andrew Jackson is getting voted off the island. Taking Jackson’s place is Harriet Tubman. In my opinion, Jackson should have never been put on our money in the first place. Getting rid of his portrait is long overdue, and so is putting
a woman on our dollar bills. I could go on all day about why Jackson doesn’t deserve to be a symbol of our country. First of all, he would have never wanted to be on our money. In fact, he’s probably been rolling in his grave since we made him a symbol of the U.S. central banks. Jackson hated the central banks and vetoed the renewal of the Bank of the United States during his presidency. The veto was one of the major causes of an economic depression in 1837. Furthermore, Jackson is not the kind of person we should want to represent us as a nation. Chief among his sins is signing the Indian Removal Act. This led to what most people will recognize as the Trail of Tears. Tens of thousands of Native Americans were forced from their homeland with incredible brutality. Among the 15,000 Creeks who were driven from the southeast United States, 3,500 did not survive the trip to Indian Territory, now modern-day Oklahoma. Harriet Tubman is a fantastic choice for his replacement. As most people probably remember from junior high American history, she conducted the Underground Railroad for several years and is responsible for freeing hundreds of slaves. Born a slave herself, she was a leading abolitionist during the Civil War and acted as a spy for the Union. She even led raids to free hundreds of slaves at a time during the war. It’s especially fitting that Tubman, who saved hundreds of lives as an abolitionist, will replace Jackson. You’ll also notice Harriet Tubman wasn’t a slaver responsible for the deaths of thousands of Native Americans. So it’s absolutely a good thing we’re keeping Hamilton, the anti-slavery Treasury Secretary, and getting rid of Jackson, the genocidal president who hated the U.S. Federal Bank. Jack Lew made the right choice in removing Jackson, and I can think of few better to take his place than Harriet Tubman. We should be seeing the redesigns featuring Tubman in 2020. If the Treasury follows through with Lew’s plan, we could see Tubman’s portrait gracing the front of our money as soon as 2030. I say, the sooner the better. There’s been enough debate over the subject. Sacagawea and the one-dollar coin need some female company.

UNL should make course syllabi public Kayla Simon
W
hen you’re standing in the ocean and a wave begins to descend upon you, you have two choices. You can churn the water trying to get away or you can ride it back to shore. The advent of massive open online courses (MOOCs) has started a trend — one that spells disaster for some universities. If students can access information, videos and even accreditation without paying for it, they very well may. To compete, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln needs to adapt. Instead of fighting the riptide of the information age, UNL should expand its horizons and appreciate the broader education these measures can offer. UNL can prove its worth compared to MOOCs by making all course syllabi public information. As a public university, UNL should have this obligation anyway. Nebraskans pay for this re-
source; what is being taught should be public knowledge. Current students don’t generally get access to syllabi until the day before school starts. Whether this is professorial procrastination or something more sinister, it leaves students in the dark. If the whole point of college is to broaden horizons, it seems silly not to start here. Syllabi contain a wealth of information, but not the key part: instructor guidance. For instance, if I want to learn computer science, I’d be able to see what textbook is being used without having access to the professor’s time and insider knowledge. If I need this assistance (and judging by how many times I’ve Googled computer problems, I do), I’d have to pay for it. But sometimes, classes are just regurgitated textbooks. In this case, students should know that before they pay for them. If they can get all the value of a class from a book, it’s a scam to go to class. UNL needs to show its classes are worth the sticker shock. One way to do so is to prove the classes will be worth students’ time. Having course syllabi from the previous year available gives students a resource when they are registering for classes. Rather than tossing advisors into a student feeding frenzy during the first week of school, why not actually tell students what they’ll be learning? Giving people access to what a class is about lets them know early on if they will enjoy the class or want to put effort into it. In the current system,
students attend class without knowing what it’ll actually be about. This leads to rapid shuffling of class rosters and a claustrophobic week for advisors as students attempt to drop old classes and find new ones. If previous syllabi were available, advisors could give students real choices. Instead of telling students to choose between SPAN 315 and 314, give them the syllabi and let them make an educated decision instead of a coin toss. Students who have specific career goals would value the insight of course syllabi when choosing classes. If a student is considering grad school for the humanities, they’ll want to make sure the classes they select use journals, not textbooks. If they’re hands-on learners, they would pick classes with a focus on projects and activities, not lectures. We have ACE requirements to encourage learning outside our majors; why shouldn’t this extend beyond 10 classes? A previous Daily Nebraskan opinion column remarked on the difficulty of learning graphic design as a journalism major because the two subjects are in different colleges. Sometimes, taking extra hours isn’t feasible, financially or time-wise. The university says it’s focusing on increasing fouryear graduation rates. With open course syllabi, students would be able to expand their learning without staying an extra two years. And assuming that keeping sections of classes equivalent is a goal of UNL, this would be a good way to hold professors accountable. Awarding stu-
dents the same credit for the same class, even when different sections have different standards, creates a problem of credibility for the university. Eliminating this becomes easier when records of what is being taught are kept. This change isn’t out of the realm of possibility. UNL’s Department of Physics and Astronomy already meets these standards. Harvard and the University of Georgia offer syllabus lists to current students. The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater make their syllabi publicly available. While this last approach is the most desirable, any attempt to be transparent would garner a positive result. The purpose of universities should be to expand and share knowledge, not to guard it like a golden egg. Undergraduate classwork is rarely a grasping for innovation; it’s more like a re-hash of arguments commonly brought up in the field. Therefore, sharing this information benefits professors and teaching methods more than gives other universities an “advantage.” To some extent, colleges will always compete to be better, more recognized or prestigious. But this same tendency extends to individuals. If UNL wants students who make waves, they need to make these very basic resources available. KAYLA SIMON IS A SENIOR POLITICAL SCIENCE MAJOR.

Open Nebraska to medical marijuana
T
he Nebraska legislature had a chance to help a lot of people ease their pain and suffering on April 5 when they voted whether or not to make medical marijuana legal. LB643 would’ve provided Nebraskans who suffer from “debilitating medical conditions” with the chance to get medical marijuana. The bill would not have allowed chronic pain as a reason to receive the drug and would require patients to get the drug from “compassion centers.” Only pill, oil and liquid forms of the drug would be allowed. The bill needed 33 of the 49 senators to survive a filibuster and advance, but unfortunately only got 30. Sen. Tommy Garrett proposed the bill, and his only explanation to its failure was that some senators were “stuck on stupid.” Now that the legislature has defeated the bill, many senators believe it will be transformed into a public vote through a petition drive. However, the simple fact is there shouldn’t have to be a petition drive. This bill proposed the availability of a mild form of medical marijuana, tailored to its conservative audience. Medical marijuana is already available to patients in 23 other states and gives them an option other than pain pills, which can lead to negative side effects and addiction. Opponents of this bill used the lack of scientific research as their reasoning. The lack of research on marijuana is not nearly as big of an issue as the Nebraskans suffering who are being
told that the one medication working for them isn’t OK to use. Some opponents disapprove of medical marijuana because the Food and Drug Administration hasn’t approved the drug and as a result, recommended doses and safety warnings haven’t been tested. But, according to the Drug Policy Alliance, “Marijuana has been shown to be effective in reducing the nausea induced by cancer chemotherapy, stimulating appetite in AIDS patients and reducing intraocular pressure in people with glaucoma.” None of the significant research on medical marijuana its opposition wants has been conducted because it is a federally-banned substance. Children suffering from seizures and people struggling through cancer or hepatitis C treatments are being denied a chance to treat the symptoms that plague them every day. People using a medicine will not change the moral fabric of the state as many opponents fear. Far too often critics of marijuana as a medicine have attached a stigma to its use that simply isn’t true. People aren’t using medical marijuana to get high; they are using it to treat their conditions. Another argument against passing the bill was that it would signal a shift in Nebraskan ideology and create an easier path to the recreational legalization of marijuana. However, denying pain relief to suffering Nebraskans shows the current ideology doesn’t adequately consider citizen needs. Furthermore, marijuana is less addictive and
harmful than the prescription pills commonly given to patients who may qualify for the use of medical marijuana. A WebMD article from 2014 exposed findings that medical marijuana access is associated with 25 percent fewer prescription drug overdose deaths each year, compared to states where medical marijuana is illegal. If pills aren’t working, and marijuana is, why should people be forced to use a medicine that doesn’t work? Those who want to use marijuana rather than these pills have to leave their home state just to get something that makes them feel better. Think about somebody having to go to a neighboring state to get his or her medication. People who just want their suffering, or their children’s suffering, to end shouldn’t have to go through such a hassle to do so. Compassionate health care for patients wanting to use medical marijuana as their treatment isn’t the only benefit to legalizing it; money is also a factor. Money spent in other states on medical marijuana is money that could be spent in Nebraska. Tax revenue from medical marijuana sales in Nebraska wouldn’t equal the large amount gained by Colorado through the taxation of recreational marijuana, but it would provide more tax revenue to the state. In Colorado medical marijuana is taxed at the state’s sale tax rate of 2.9 percent, plus any local sales tax rate and an additional 10 percent marijuana tax. In February 2016 Colorado made $897,973 from medical marijuana sales. If Ne-
braska were to do the same and tax medical marijuana at its current 5.5 percent state sales tax, in addition to any local taxes, it could raise a substantial level of tax revenue. These are just some of the reasons the legislature missed a great opportunity when it decided not to legalize medical marijuana. The stories of children suffering from seizures and extremely ill people being denied the medical treatment they choose to help them in their daily lives is another reason the legislature should’ve passed this bill. The public will have the power to decide if they want medical marijuana in Nebraska if the ballot initiative is successful in getting over 100,000 signatures by July 1; this result will put the issue on the November 2016 ballot. The group heading the potential ballot initiative would also seek a less strict policy that would not prohibit any form or use of medical marijuana. If the petition drive works and this less strict medical marijuana program is approved by voters, as many senators believe it will be, the state may have more problems regulating it. I guess they should have just passed this conservative form of medical marijuana the first time. RILEY SLEZAK IS A SOPHOMORE JOURNALISM MAJOR.
