LETTERS FROM THE EDITORS

Dear reader,

I entered the Daily Nebraskan office on a Monday morning early last semester to find a flurry of white printer paper had overtaken the workspace. The sheets lay on keyboards throughout the various cubicles. They were pinned to bulletin boards. One sat on my desk. And they all said this: “Some days it just really gets me that we put so many hours, and so much effort into something that so few people care about, or read.” –Jacy Marmaduke, editor I’m not terribly ashamed to admit it. I said those words, said them while slumped in a desk chair making changes to a page on InDesign after 1 a.m. the night before a co-editor printed out copies of the quote and tossed them around the office like morose confetti. I threw most of them away but saved a couple because I didn’t want to forget the way I felt that night. I’m not naïve. The glasses through which I view the world, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the journalism industry are decidedly not Rose hued. But my two semesters as editor-in-chief of the DN have taught me, more than anything, that pessimism is a musty, decrepit place you only travel to when you don’t want to think too much. There’s no light there. And you’ll find no answers to your problems until you get out. This year was a significant one for the DN. Upon recommendation from the newfangled DN of the Future Committee, and at my initial peril, we shed the cozy albeit threadbare blanket of Monday-through-Friday print issues and embarked on the rocky terrain known as “Web-first” among media types. We continue to produce two print issues a week, one on Mondays and one on Thursdays. We created a Breaking News Desk to cover news as it happens, bolstered our social media presence, tinkered with the way we write headlines and started obsessively monitoring our Web traffic. The transformation isn’t over, and it hasn’t been easy. You try bending to your will the instincts of a staff full of journalism students bred to worship print newspapers and their old-fashioned trappings – the end-of-the-day deadlines, the dry headlines, the disregard for Web traffic and revenue. (Kidding, mostly. I adore my co-workers.) But our year hasn’t been without triumph. The number of pages viewed on our website jumped 25 percent. Our Facebook engagement leapt 166 percent. Our followers on Instagram basically rode a hot air balloon up into the summer sky with an increase of 220 percent. And yet, pessimism loomed overhead. How could it not? My co-workers and I stayed at the office past 3 a.m. some nights working on print issues, only to return to campus for class six hours later and walk past towering stacks of them that seemed to sit untouched for days. Despite an energetic advertising staff that has innovated with new revenue-raking special events and revamped marketing strategies, the DN remains in dire financial straits. Like news organizations across the country, we’ve yet to find a magic solu-

tion to the loss of print advertising revenue. And we know even a tenfold increase in Web traffic won’t solve that persistent problem. Of the 3,300-some pieces of content our staff produced this year, only 87 of them garnered more than 1,000 views on our website. On Earth Day last week, I spent an hour and a half carefully cultivating a gallery of archived nature photos to post to the website, sure it would be a hit on the Web. I was so proud of myself. It got 59 views. More than 25,000 students attend UNL. In my darkest hours this year, I’ve wondered – why can’t I get more of them to care? Do you see what I mean about pessimism? It’s comforting. It comes so naturally. And it’s also useless. The answers to the problems journalists face today don’t lie in pessimism. They lie in aggressive innovation. They lie in the fluidity of our mindsets about news value, media revenue and the relationship between editorial and advertising departments (once distant cousins, soon to be bedfellows, if you ask me). They lie in our understanding that maybe, instead of just one big solution to the journalism crisis, there are actually a lot of small solutions. And most of all, they lie in optimism. We haven’t found the answers yet. But I think we’re getting closer. I guess you could say I’m optimistic.

Sincerely, Jacy Marmaduke Editor-in-chief

UNL Ballroom Dance Company creates opportunity for dancers to continue performing, improving Ellen Dudley stood in her friend’s small apartment. Amid the soft murmur of conversation and the pouring of drinks, a record player played soft music in the corner of the living room. Suddenly someone grabbed Dudley’s hand and gave her a spin. She and her partner stepped smoothly across the floor as a unit, breaking into a foxtrot. The couples beside them did the same. No, the year isn’t 1940. It’s 2015, and this is just a typical weekend get-together for Dudley, president of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Ballroom Dance Company. Dudley, a senior psychology major, is 1 of 34 members who meet once a week to tango, cha cha or foxtrot, ballroom dancing to the same music as their grandparents. Members are both undergraduate and graduate students. Some aren’t students at all – one woman who dances with the company is just married to one. When they’re not practicing, they can be seen showing off their moves at downtown bars or performing at the DelRey Ballroom twice a year. “It’s a flashback to a different time,” Dudley said. “Each dance in ballroom has a different mood to it. If I want to feel sassy I’ll do the foxtrot. If I want to feel sexy I’ll do the rumba. If I want to have fun I’ll do the swing. If I’m in the mood for something floaty and relaxed then I’ll do the waltz.” Each fall, the ballroom dance company hosts auditions for students. The company is split into three levels based on skill: newcomers, bronze and silver. Dudley is a part of the silver group, the most advanced of the three. Members of the company range from an engineering majors from Nebraska to international students from Russia or Malaysia. Some dance to stay in shape, some so they can ballroom dance at a wedding reception or club. Others, like Dudley who has been dancing her whole life, simply wanted to continue dancing in college and meet people who share the same passion. “I really enjoy the social aspect of ballroom,” Dudley said. “I’m really comfortable with these people because we’ve been dancing together for years. I would trust them to lift me no problem.” Kim Marriner, owner of Marriner Ballroom Dance and choreographer for the UNL company, said learning how to ballroom dance is a skill that will be useful all your life. Marriner has been a

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Ballroom Dance Company meets once a week to practice an array of dances. Improving their skill is the only incentive the company’s participants have to keep coming to their practices, outside of their biannual performances in the DelRay Ballroom. dancer since she was young, but didn’t learn ballroom until she was in her 20s. “I’m very heartened by 20-somethings wanting to learn this dance style,” Marriner said. “People got away from dancing with each other like they did in my parent’s generation. It’s old fashioned in a wonderful way and it’s about working together as a team.” Marriner said the most challenging thing about ballroom dance in comparison to other styles is learning to trust and work with a partner. However, she said that learning how to ballroom dance is rewarding and fun, and that even the professionals have room to improve.

“I know sometimes the stuff you see on TV like ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ and ‘Dancing With the Stars’ is really difficult,” Marriner said. “But the beginning stuff is easy and it’s fun for everybody. I think everybody should try it, it’s the most fun way to exercise ever.” On May 2, the company will host its spring showcase titled “Any Human Heart.” Dudley said the title comes from the desire the company has to touch any human heart with dances portraying a wide range of emotions. At intermission, audience members are invited to get out on the dance floor. She said the hope at every performance is that audience members will

leave wanting to learn to ballroom dance as well. As she prepares to graduate from UNL, Dudley said she’s thankful for the lessons and friendships the UNL Ballroom Dance Company has provided to her. She said the UNL Faculty Dance Club, who often come to watch the student company, have summed up her feelings toward ballroom dancing many times. “They’re always like ‘It’s so great to see young people out there learning how to really dance,’” Dudley said. “And I’m like ‘Yeah, I think I lived in the wrong generation.’” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Cookie company bakes unusual creations Kitchen Sink Cookie Company offers one-of-akind cookie flavors, caters events ANNIE ALBIN DN The traditional bakery can offer customers any stereotypical cookie. Snickerdoodle, chocolate chip or peanut butter can be done by practically anyone. But only one bakery can offer customers original cookies that use ingredients like homemade brown sugar and Cheez-Its. And that’s the Kitchen Sink Cookie Company. The company is run by Allison Newgard, who started the business after several years of working for the now-closed Sasquatch! Bakery. Running Kitchen Sink through a kitchen she shares with other local business owners, Newgard finds comfort in operating a business on her own. A self-diagnosed workaholic, Newgard spends 80 to 100 hours each week working for Kitchen Sink. As the sole employee she does everything: bookkeeping, printing labels and baking. Kitchen Sink Cookie Company’s cookies can be found throughout Lincoln: downtown at the Pilgrimer or at the Haymarket Farmer ’s Market in the fall. The company has a Squareup.com account linked through its Facebook page, which allows for easy pickup or mail orders. Newgard has also catered for events such as weddings and birthdays. She’s hoping to set up a retail space in the fall. Between baking a thousand cookies for market day and catering parties, Newgard also finds the time to research and develop new and interesting flavor combinations for her cookies. Newgard is insistent about the quality of her cookies. She’s so particular about the ingredients she uses that she makes many of them from scratch: brown sugar, vanilla extract, marshmallows and various others. Although some of Newgard’s cookie creations are pretty out there, her main objective is to keep them approachable. Every cookie begins with a basic dough base, but from there Newgard employs various elements to create a truly unique final product. One of Newgard’s more daring recipes is the Magic Lunchbox, which has dried strawberries, Cheez-Its, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. “I think the thing I try to strive for, along with a balance between sweet and salty, and salty and savory, is just to create something that is really satisfying that you can eat and it doesn’t ever leave you wanting more,” Newgard said. Newgard finds inspiration for her unique recipes through other dessert recipes she finds online. Modifying those complex reci-

ART BY ALLEY FRAME | DN pes to fit a cookie can sometimes be daunting, but Newgard doesn’t balk at the challenge. Neither do her customers. “Most everybody I’ve encountered does a thing that I like to call ‘the look’ where they come up and they’re like, ‘Yeah, whatever, I’ll buy a cookie,’” she said. “And they walk away and open it up and take a bite and turn around and look at you like, ‘What is this?!’

and walk away. That’s always a good one to see.” Kitchen Sink Cookie Company recently partnered with downtown staple Ivanna Cone. The latter will offer ice cream cookie sandwiches throughout the summer. The promotion started this month with a sandwich combining Newgard’s ginger chocolate chip cookie with miso buttercream and black

sesame ice cream. The combination of Ivanna Cone’s unique ice cream and Kitchen Sink Cookie Company’s unique cookies seemed like a perfect match for Newgard. “I wanna change the world of cookies,” Newgard said. “Start a revolution in what people thought cookies could be.” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Peter Helstorm, treasurer of the DJ club, is a graduating senior at UNL. Being a computer science major compliments his abilities to mix and master music with ease.

Interest in tech, music leads student to UNL DJ club KATJA DUERIG DN Peter Helstrom described himself as the quiet kid in high school. He was in band, through which he made friends, but overall he was a laidback student. Then he came to the University of NebraskaLincoln to study computer science. Interested in learning how to DJ, he spotted the UNL Discotheque Club on a university website and started to contact members. “I went to a couple of meetings and didn’t really know what I was doing at first,” Helstrom said. “But everyone kind of made me feel at home, and I just kind of hung out with them and learned and

eventually ended up being more involved in it.” As he grew as a DJ and started to meet new people, Helstrom began DJing downtown. He said that the fun, supportive environment created by the club and other audience members were encouraging at his first shows. Helstrom created his own record label, Fallen From Silence, his second year of college. In doing this, he met local DJs and made connections that benefited the DJ Club. Though Fallen From Silence has been mostly inactive lately, he predicts things will pick up this summer. Helstrom has become a leader in the DJ Club. As Discotheque members graduated, he and his current roommate Joe Shea took over two years ago and renamed the club.

By spreading awareness of the club’s existence and rallying attention for UNL DJs, Helstrom (the treasurer) and Shea (the president) have carried on an outlet for campus DJs that was at risk of leaving with the graduates. But Helstrom’s increased involvement didn’t interfere with his more technical work. “I love doing music stuff and anything musicrelated, and then with computer science anything technology-related,” he said. “So I put the two together, and it’s tons of fun.” About a year ago, Helstrom’s friend introduced him to the Student Technology group on campus. He hung around and helped out with projects until a paid position was available. “I guess the biggest thing at work really is how

they want us to experiment with new technologies and emerging technology,” he said. “We just kind of see what we can do. Sometimes we have projects, sometimes we just mess around and see what we come up with.” Essentially, UNL gives them things to play around with to see how they can be integrated on campus. Using Arduino, an open-source microprocessor, Student Technology is able to make its own electronics. Helstrom has used this platform with LED lights to create a timed moving-eye mask for Halloween (which he wore while DJing), glowing

Bourbon Theatre to host 2nd Lincoln Arts Expo Started by UNL alumnus, Travis Blac, the event puts a spotlight on local artists in Nebraska, art scene STAFF REPORT DN This Friday, the Bourbon Theatre will host the second Lincoln Arts Expo. The event will be held from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. and is for ages 18 and older. The entry costs haven’t been finalized, but they will be between $5 to $10. Travis Blac, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln alumnus, created the event and helped organize the first arts expo earlier this year. After graduating with a degree in broadcast journalism, Blac began working at a smoke shop selling glass pipes. It was there he discovered a passion for glass blowing. “I got really into glass blowing after selling glass pipes but I focus mainly on creating jewelry,” Blac said. “The idea for the expo really came about as a way for me to promote not only my art but also the art of Lincoln. I especially want to raise awareness of the art scene that exists in Lincoln to college students. Around your senior year is when you decide whether you are

going to stay in Lincoln or leave and if they are looking for an art scene, I want to show them we have one.” Blac describes the first arts expo in February as a huge success. “The reaction from Lincoln was amazing,” Blac said. “For the first one, all of the participating artists and I had to take on all of the costs and in the end we were able to make a profit. With that money, we were able to put it toward the next one.” For the upcoming Lincoln Art Expo, Blac hopes to have more than 30 artists from around Nebraska and possibly one from out of state. “It has almost grown into a Nebraska Arts Expo,” Blac said. “We have artists from Lincoln, Kearney, Grand Island, Omaha and maybe even Colorado. The first one started with me reaching out to a few friends who also make art and it is amazing to see how it has grown.” Blac said the event will have live glass blowing, photography, charcoal drawings, live dancing and more. For the future, Blac hopes to keep growing the event so that it can one day give back to the artists of Lincoln. “I would love to eventually give money back to the artists of Lincoln,” Blac said. “The ultimate goal would be to make it a non-profit. I want to give the artists the support they need to create.” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM COURTESY PHOTO

Musician hopes to revitalize jazz in Lincoln The Zoo Bar’s musician in residence, Luke Polipnick, experiments with music, composition RAGHAV KIDAMBI DN Luke Polipnick, the current musician in residence at the Zoo Bar and Minnesota native, plays his instrument masterfully as he brings with him a library full of instrumental knowledge, ranging from modern day jazz to Carnatic music. “I grew up in a very rural area outside of the twin cities, once I graduated from high school, I moved to the Twin Cities and found a couple of guys who were these young, badass jazz musicians taking over the scene,” Polipnick said. “I was a pretty good guitar player at that period of my life, I was also pretty confused about who I wanted to become, musically, which did not stop me playing at various venues in the Twin Cities.” He said the music part of him was an innatetrait, but wasn’t necessarily thought about by anyone. His mom was an accomplished trumpet player, however she quit playing when he was born. “I was also a pretty serious trumpet player, I was a trumpet major until the second year of college, but the guitar has always been my real love,” Polipnick said. “I was completely selftaught and never took a single guitar lesson until I was well into my 20s.” Polipnick followed his wife to Lincoln while she attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for graduate school. Two years turned to five as his wife ended up staying to get a doctorate. “I wasn’t ready for that transition at all, I was in my mid-20s just ready to take over the scene in a big city and go for it,” he said. “Lincoln wasn’t the same during the mid 2000s. It was musically downgraded, and there wasn’t much going on here.” During the mid-2000s, Polipnick moved to Lincoln and became the lone instrumentalist who curated a monthly experimental music series at Box Awesome. “I was probably the only guy in town doing experimental music of free composition. This was a really good start for me because Lincoln never put any pressure on me to perform a particular genre of music,” Polipnick said. “Eventually, I ended up going to college here, I got a gree in jazz performance in Northern Illinois full ride at UNL and met University. In 2012, he many musical geniuses decided to move back to here on campus.

I know so many amazing musicians in New York, unable to get a breakthrough, working at Starbucks to make the most of what they can.” Polipnick said he’s concerned about how people need to start appreciating jazz music in Lincoln and Omaha, the frustration he goes through when just a dozen people show up for an amazing jazz performance by his band is something incomparable. “I feel like I’m beating my head against the scene,” Polipnick said. “After three straight years of playing here, I feel like

people need to start appreciating the kind of music we make, because not everybody can compose such music. I am literally the only person in the city who does what I do and it’s a very unique scene.” Polipnick said he isn’t fishing for sympathy but wishes people would recognize jazzbased artists in Lincoln. “It’s an interesting time right now, a lot of good transitions,” Polipnick said. “I hope more people come out and check me out at the Zoo Bar and experience the unique music we have to offer.” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Administrators, students need improved communication It’s been a difficult year for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The relationships among the student body, the student press (see: the DN) and the administration have been strained at times. This started in September when we received an anonymous tip that a sexual assault had occurred at the apartment of a former faculty member. Following this was the news that the U.S. Department of Education was investigating the university for a potential Title IX violation related to that accusation of sexual assault. Since then, we have become increasingly concerned about the administration’s ability to adequately and effectively communicate with students. Between the initial report of a sexual assault on May 8, and the first official response from the administration regarding the incident on Oct. 6, more than 150 days passed. If we hadn’t received that anonymous tip, it’s plausible that we, and consequently the student body, would never have found out about it. That lack of regard for the student body struck us as hypocritical, given UNL’s participation in the national “It’s On Us” campaign against on-campus sexual assault. The DN voiced these concerns in a staff editorial. The administration offered a typically brazen response that only strengthened our concerns There has also been frustration over the implementation of the “Not Here, Not Now, Not Ever” campaign, a purported effort to reduce the effects of racial prejudice on campus. After the initial launch event in November 2013, the campaign

quickly became inactive. Aside from a few race-related events, little happened between then and the announcement of Chancellor Harvey Perlman’s Commission on the Status of People of Color earlier this month. We happily acknowledge that the Chancellor’s Commission is an important step. But the amount of time that passed between the event that sparked “Not Here, Not Now, Not Ever,” a flippant and insensitive speech by former ASUN Sen. Cameron Murphy, and the most significant undertaking the campaign has produced, is troubling to us. The year and

EDITORIAL POLICY The editorial above contains the opinion of the spring 2015 Daily Nebraskan Editorial Board. It does not necessarily reflect the views of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, its student body or the University of Nebraska Board of Regents. A column is solely the opinion of its author; a cartoon is solely the opinion of its artist. The Board of Regents acts as publisher of the Daily

Nebraskan; policy is set by the Daily Nebraskan Editorial Board. The UNL Publications Board, established by the regents, supervises the production of the paper. According to policy set by the regents, responsibility for the editorial content of the newspaper lies solely in the hands of Daily Nebraskan employees.

a half that passed before we saw real progress, again, only furthers our belief that the administration needs to work harder to listen and respond to the concerns of the student body. And finally, we recently reported on the difficulties faced by international students, many of who feel that the university provides them little support and guidance. In short, the administration has plenty of room for improvement. The DN believes that a few simple changes could make a significant difference. The upcoming personnel changes provide an opportunity

for a fresh start. First, the administration needs to be more visible to the student body. The best way to build a stronger relationship is to actually build that relationship. We would love to see Perlman dining at Selleck alongside students, or Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Ellen Weissinger chumming it up in the Nebraska Union Crib. Lincoln’s vagrant population spends more time among the student body than the UNL administration. That’s a problem, but it has an easy solution. Second, we need stronger channels of communication between students and administration. One possible solution would be for Perlman (or his replacement, or a rotation of administrators) to write a regular column, about a variety of issues, for the DN. Our relationship doesn’t need to be adversarial, and we would all benefit from sharing each other’s perspectives more often than we do now. It would also indicate that we take each other seriously and value each other’s roles on campus. It should also be easier for students to voice concerns and have them addressed. Whitehouse.gov’s petition feature rarely results in actual policy change, but regardless, it’s a way for voices to be heard in a way that can’t be ignored. Maybe something similar would work for unl.edu. A stronger relationship between administrators and students will result in a better campus and a better university. It’s that simple. We’re ready and excited to do better moving forward, and we hope the administration is too.

Eastside Suites poster encourages drug use Jazmin Turner

couple weeks ago I got a text from a friend about a poster that has been hanging in the Eastside Suites fourth floor lobby. It’s a picture of men with ties, hanging by their heads, which are covered in clouds within the sky, with pills floating around them. I found this to be quite an interesting picture that the university would place within one of its dorm lobbies. The meaning of the picture seems pretty obvious, as it doesn’t take a lot of thought to realize this is showing students and drugs. The university has many prevention plans and policies about the use of drugs on campus. So I find it quite strange that the staff would allow a picture that appears to be encouraging drug use in a dorm on campus. In the Rights and Responsibilities as a Resident, the Drug Policy states that “State law and University regulations prohibit possession, use, and/or distribution of illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia and/or controlled substances (including marijuana, narcotics, or prescription drugs intended for use by another individual) in any University residence hall.” This drug policy is listed as a serious violation, which can include immediate termination of your housing contract, drug edu-

cation classes and the intervention of the law enforcement body. It lists that drug paraphernalia isn’t condoned in the halls. They list that paraphernalia includes pipes, toilet paper rolls with dryer sheets and rolling papers. Paraphernalia is also trappings that are associated with a particular activity. To me, this picture is paraphernalia. It’s associated with the activity of drug use, whether or not it was fashioned for that reason. The use of drugs is becoming a problem in Nebraska, especially in Lincoln. Recently, there’s been more than 100 reported K2 overdoses in Lincoln, leading to two raids in smoke shops. Lincoln is a college town, and college students make up one of the largest groups of drug abusers. College students use drugs for numerous reasons, such as curiosity, peer pressure, course load and stress. With finals approaching, some students use Adderall, which has been labeled the “study drug.” Adderall has become popular to help students concentrate and finish increasing work loads. Across campuses nationwide, 33 percent of students use Adderall, and that number continues to rise. Worryingly, the pills in the dorm picture resemble Adderall. I think that the university has some great guidelines and policies in place to confront the use of drugs on campus, but I believe that they need to be more aware of their own association with such activity. I would assume hanging this picture on campus was not meant to encourage people to participate in drug use, but neither has it discouraged this. I’m unsure what the exact intention of the picture was, but it hasn’t come across as a positive statement. Rather, it seems as if it’s misleading its viewers and the residents of the hall and giving the university some mis-

COURTESY PHOTO representation. I couldn’t find anything that suggested the guidelines for what could be hung up in the residence halls. I would assume such a thing exists, and hopefully covers what’s deemed acceptable or not to be hung up in the halls. I believe that this picture is something that shouldn’t be hung up anywhere on the campus for that matter. The university should either make guidelines for the decorators stricter or should follow the assumed

existing rules more thoroughly. I can’t say for certain how long the picture has been hanging, but I know it has been for quite some time. The university needs to take more responsibility for the picture, and others like it, to keep the positive living and learning environment around campus.

UNL needs to shift focus on students, not aesthetics Annie Stokely

he University of Nebraska-Lincoln has been in the Big Ten Conference for almost four years, a mark of student-athlete distinction. I think we’re among good company – we are Huskers, after all. We play admirably and with talent, and a good chunk of the entire state frequently shows up to cheer us on. That’s a really special thing.

Perhaps our biggest problem as a university is not our athletic department, enrollment or the newness of our buildings. Maybe it’s the way we treat our international students.

Nebraska needs to legalize medicinal marijuana Mark Batt

e have all heard the stories of suffering children; kids that are sick and dying from painful, incurable diseases. They’re living with painful illnesses where it seems no synthetic drug on earth has the answer for pain relief. Many times, there are no answers for the harsh realities of life. However, medicinal marijuana has proved to help the sick and suffering better cope with their illnesses and excruciating symptoms. Why would anyone deny people a product

that helps them better manage health problems? There’s an ideological split regarding marijuana legalization, and some feel medicinal marijuana will never become legal. Currently, Nebraska has incredibly strict marijuana laws. Regardless, we need to legalize medicinal marijuana. Marijuana used recreationally and for medicinal purposes are two different animals and require different perceptions. State Sen. Tommy Garrett of Bellevue introduced the Cannabis Compassion and Care Act in the legislature this session. This bill passed the Judiciary Committee, subsequent to Sen. Garrett’s prioritization of the bill. Sen. Garrett intends for his bill to treat those “diagnosed with debilitating medical conditions.” He went on to say, “(medicinal marijuana) would be tightly controlled and could only be prescribed by a licensed physician.” Despite the effort to only legalize medicinal marijuana, Gov. Ricketts disagrees with this legislative effort. “Marijuana is a dangerous drug,” Ricketts said. “Those concerns (of medicinal marijuana)

have only grown with the Judiciary Committee’s decision to move it to the floor.” I cannot tell you how appalling it is to learn our governor is denying children the right to use prescribed medicinal marijuana that helps ease pain, increase appetites, as well as a whole host of other symptoms from which children and adults alike are suffering. This isn’t recreational pot, Governor; it’s a medically controlled piece of legislation aimed at helping a vulnerable population in our society. In Nebraska, a state legislator is unlikely to introduce a law to legalize recreational pot. While I can’t entirely side with marijuana as a whole, that’s not what’s happening here. I, for one, have my reservations about legalizing marijuana as a recreational drug, but that’s irrelevant to this discussion. Medical marijuana is a substance proven to help those suffering with the diseases, Sen. Garrett pointed out. The fact Governor Ricketts is opposing this legislation is nothing more than party rhetoric and support for the Attorney General’s lawsuit against Colorado regarding its pot laws. I know what some of you might be thinking: This is just some liberal writer for the

Daily Nebraskan spouting off Democratic Party talking points while he rolls a joint. Well, wrong. I am a moderate person in my political beliefs and have stark differences with those in my party regarding complete legalization of marijuana. Furthermore, I can honestly write this column as a person never having danced the slow dance with Mary Jane – shout out to Tom Petty – but I digress. The point of this matter is that Gov. Ricketts needs to lose his concerns for medical marijuana and get on board with his fellow legislators who have supported this legislation not only in committee, but also in the subsequent stages of the legislative process. This legislation is imperative to those suffering from incurable, painful illnesses. Sen. Garrett and his colleagues who support this legislation are bringing us into the 21st century of medicine along with more than two dozen other states that have legalized marijuana in some shape or form and thus doing Nebraska a favor.

Perfectionism isn’t something to romanticize Vicki Klafter

he 10 different introductions I wrote were winding their way down my forearms. I told myself to ignore it, to come back to the introduction later, that it would sort itself out. I returned to the body of the paper and continued writing even though I was already 2,200 words over the 1,000-word maximum. I kept going because I knew I could string the words together in a better way than the past three attempts that all said the same thing. A couple hundred more words and I

went back to the introduction. Introductions 11 and 12 curled themselves around my wrists and twisted into the nooks between my fingers. Introduction 13 crept its way onto the screen and securely clutched my hands. By then, the only thing moving were my eyes as they frantically blinked in sync with the cursor on the screen that was defiantly moving neither left nor right. This wasn’t immobilization by exhaustion. This was paralysis by perfectionism. And just like depression, severe anxiety and even cutting, it’s not romantic. Perfectionism isn’t a desirable trait. It isn’t something to brag about. It isn’t a good thing. And dear lord, it isn’t the same as being detail-orientated. Equating the two or saying that perfectionism is just a little more extreme version of the second is like saying that soy milk is just lower-fat dairy milk. Soy milk, like perfectionism, is a bad thing (sorry, vegan friends, but I really like cow milk.) Perfectionism is the belief that perfection is possible and must be attained at all costs. Failure isn’t an option or an option so nightmarish that you’d rather not attempt the task in the first place. Be-

ing detail-orientated means you notice important stuff that should be a certain way. Detail-orientated people pay attention to, commas, Capitalization, and and words so they no, this sentence is wrong. Perfectionists write 13 introductions to a short paper and then seriously consider not submitting the paper, or they don’t submit the paper entirely. While I hate the way certain Tumblr-esque scenes romanticize depression, anxiety, cutting and other mental disorders or forms of self harm, the depiction of perfectionism as a good thing doesn’t stem from an alternative, hipster demographic. Also, while glorifying mental disorders and self harm is obviously twisted, the perversion of exalting perfectionism is more subtle. Division I athletes are encouraged to be perfectionists, as are medical and law students. The people who sit atop social ladders are supposed to be perfectionists, so shouldn’t the rest of us schmucks try to as well? Exceptionally high ambition is different than perfectionism. I wish I could provide a concrete definition of perfectionism but even trying to establish a clear cut meaning invites a multitude of problems. In an article by Etienne Benson published by the American Psychological Association, researchers tried to place perfectionism into two categories: adaptive and maladaptive. Adaptive perfectionists are less emotionally devastated by failure than maladaptive perfectionists who are utterly destroyed by anything less than full success. However, trying to classify perfectionism by this dichotomy of categories ignores the relevance of context. Maybe the perfectionist behavior is adaptive in one circumstance but not in another. (If I’ve learned anything in my life, it’s that people don’t fit in most dichotomies.) So we’ve got this halfway-functional definition of perfectionism, some anecdotal evidence of how it appears in people’s lives and a loose understanding of the patterns of perfectionism as a disorder. Sounds far from perfect to me. Doctors Paul Hewitt and Gordan Flett have

published many articles in the journal Cognitive Therapy and Research to point out the connection between perfectionism and anorexia nervosa and suicide. To Dr. Hewitt and Dr. Flett: no freaking way. What a perceptive conclusion to draw. Astounding. Who would have thought that impossibly high personal standards could correlate to impossibly high standards for appearance and complete collapse under the pressure of the same unattainable standards? The thing is while perfectionism does lead to other disorders, it too is just a symptom. It’s the manifestation of a deep yearning for acceptance of oneself and, when projected outwardly, of the world. The world is a mess and the people who form the blob that populate it are as well. We are sticky, grimy and gritty smears of humanity. Our legacies are residues. We are gross. Perfect doesn’t exist anywhere that we do. Obviously, with the fact of our perpetual failing, it’s a really good thing we aren’t all perfectionists. The whole world would be paralyzed in not just fear of falling short of our own expectations but of not meeting the standards of all the other perfectionists around us. I know this should have some uplift. I should include some encouraging twist to remind you that not being perfect is OK and that mistakes are beautiful and we can learn from them and whatever and blah blah blah. Thing is, if I did that I would just be forcing myself to write an article that meets some expectation set for a cohesive column. I don’t want to do that. So I’m leaving it here with its imperfection, choppiness and rambling. Exist in the best way you know. If you don’t know what is best, find it. Be it. Be.

STOKELY: FROM 11 with a few international students on campus, and I know there’s a language barrier between us. I didn’t realize just how thick that barrier really is. I assumed – with several teachers and administrators, it seems – that if they have the language skills to be accepted into this school, they’re good to go. They made it here, after all. They plunged headlong into someone else’s culture with hardly any guidance. That takes a strength I don’t have. I’m impressed, even intimidated by them, so it’s easy for me to forget that they might be just as overwhelmed as I would be in their place. The whole thing makes me feel incredibly spoiled. I’ve enjoyed my time at UNL, but if I’m being honest with myself, part of that is because this school caters to people like me: 20-something, middle-class Midwesterners. Not the students who have traveled 5,000 miles or more and paid $40,000 just to be here. They’re worth more to the university than I am, and yet I’m the one being coddled. I don’t want to say that I’m “capable;” that I can handle this whole college thing on my own. But I at least know how to ask for help when I need it and know there are easily accessible resources available for me. I can’t say that for every student here. We’re spending money on non-academic com-

modities while a good chunk of our student population needs a little assistance in getting through classes that rely heavily on language, such as history or social studies. I overheard one of my history teachers lamenting how, in a recent semester, more than half a co-worker ’s Western Civilization class was Chinese, and he couldn’t get permission from the administration to bring in an interpreter or other resource for them. And that’s ridiculous. We can afford rock walls and coffee shops inside our libraries, but we can’t afford the extra effort to make sure half a class actually understands the material. This is a university, not a theme park. Let’s forget the bells and whistles and focus on the learning again. Part of the qualities of a university within the Big Ten conference isn’t to jeopardize “the priority the universities assign to their academic standards.” Athletically, UNL is more than qualified to be in the Big Ten. But unless something changes to nurture in students a solid education, no matter where they’re from, I don’t know if we’ll perform well in the big leagues. ANNIE STOKELY IS A JUNIOR ENGLISH MAJOR.

HELSTROM: FROM 6 T-shirts for the University of Nebraska Omaha ballroom dance club that blinked with the music and an LED staff that left images behind when it moved. Student Technology received a 3D printer shortly after Helstrom started working there. He and co-worker Ty Rempe, a junior mechanical engineering major, collaborated on the assembly, calibration and testing of the machine. “I am excited to explore, test, break and under-

stand the world of 3D printing,” Rempe said. “And I’m happy I have people like Peter in my life to help guide the way.” The printer was used to help Helstrom and Rempe create an iPad kiosk out of acrylic that scans N-Cards and has a wireless (and wirelessly rechargeable) handheld scanner. They’re also using a material called Ninjaflex to create rubbery objects. Rempe said with more testing this technology will one day empower campus.

“I see big room to advance in the realm of 3D printing,” he said. ”The printer makes prototyping all of our ideas super easy. If we have an idea, then in 30 minutes we can have a real tangible object to work with.” Between organizing events for the DJ Club and exploring new technologies to better the UNL student experience, Helstrom is also a part of the Game Development club and an animation club. To those coming from high school as the quiet

kid and trying to make the most of their time in college, Helstrom has some simple advice. “Don’t be afraid to try new things,” he said. “Even if you have a little interest see where that goes and if you like it keep doing it and if not, try something else. Most of experience comes from trying and failing and figuring out what worked and what didn’t.” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM
