T

he University Health Center administration wants students to know that despite a push for the center’s privatization last year, things haven’t changed.

“Last spring and over the summer, we were getting calls and people were surprised we were still here,” said Dr. James Guest, health center director. “We want people to know we’re still open.”

To push that message, the center launched a student-inspired ad campaign titled “Quality Healthcare for Every Story” this week.

Student volunteers have spent the first several days of school handing out health center buttons and pamphlets designed by Jacht Club — a studentrun ad agency run out of University of NebraskaLincoln’s College of Journalism and Mass Communications — outside the Nebraska Union and the Nebraska East Union, and at the health center.

The Athletic Department added new Memorial Stadium policies and procedures for the coming football season.

Football fans will have the option of mobile tickets, which can be stored on mobile devices and scanned at the gates. Bags larger than 13 inches by 10 inches aren’t allowed in the stadium; security will be measuring the bags using containers by entrances. Fans who arrive after the fourth quarter begins will not be granted entry or re-entry.

Any escalator and elevator access will be restricted to fans holding tickets in the premium level and the 600 East Stadium level. The East Campus expansion will be open for fans, adding 6,000 new seats, 38 suites and a new club level. All stadium gates will be open for the first time in two years.

Bikers will have the option of participating in the free valet service at Cook Pavilion, provided by the University of NebraskaLincoln Campus Recreation.

Other stadium policies remain unchanged. news@ dailynebraskan.com

Winnie Zhang Junlin is here to help.

As one of six members of a new intercultural aide program started this semester at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Junlin helps international students adjust to a new country and different culture.

“I remember I was confused when I first came here,” said Junlin, a senior accounting major. “I was freaking out because people would ask me questions in English and sometimes I wouldn’t understand what they were saying.”

Jessica Loke, UNL’s residential international student coordinator, helped develop the program last fall.

The purpose of the group is to help build an inclusive space for interna-

tional students both in the resident halls and around campus, she said.

The six students hired to be aides for the program are employed by University Housing.

“The most important part is really to help international students become connected and involved on campus,” Loke said. “In short, helping them to become successful students.

The six intercultural aides — three international students and three domestic students — have all had experience studying abroad, Loke said, so they understand the difficulty of transitioning to a new place.

With the first few days of this semester underway, the intercultural aides have greeted and personally met with more than 80 percent of UNL’s approximately 340 newly arrived international students, Loke said. The international students re-

Foundation decided to rebuild it.

The decision was not easy, Wehrbein said. The fraternity’s board officially made the decision three years ago, even though it had been discussing reconstruction for more than a decade.

The newly built house now has multiple new amenities, including air conditioning.

“We didn’t have air in the old house, and we obviously wanted to put that in the house,” Wehrbein said.

A secure kitchen, which will be locked unless the cook is using it or during meal times, was added as well as a fire sprinkler system.

“The house (is a) concrete and steel building,” Wehrbein said. “It should be more fireproof as well has having sprinklers in it.”

Regent Clare announces 2014 re-election campaign Kelli Rollin DN Duck hunting is going to have to wait.

On Aug. 19, Tim Clare, current chair of the University of Nebraska Board of Regents, announced he will be running for re-election to the board in November 2014.

Clare, 50, was instrumental in projects such as the Pinnacle Bank Arena, Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten Conference, and the start of Innovation Campus. During his time on the board, Clare was also involved in implementing a two-year tuition freeze, a new nursing college in Lincoln and the Building a Healthier Nebraska Initiative.

If re-elected, Clare said he would be excited to have the opportunity to continue doing what he and the Board have been doing so far. He said UNL has had “a great deal of success,” considering all of the projects and changes that have occurred, such as the move to the Big Ten. Clare is on the Union Bank and Trust Board of Directors and the Sigma Phi Epsilon Alumni Board of Directors. He is also a partner at Rembolt Ludtke law firm.

Though he is deeply involved in the university and Lincoln community, Clare doesn’t mind that he doesn’t have much downtime.

“When I get involved in something, I don’t get involved in anything half-speed, so I knew what I was getting into,” Clare said. “It is my passion. It’s something I’m

very excited about and something that I’m willing to do whatever it takes to do the best job that I can.”

He said he makes free time to be with his family and to attend his five kids’ school functions.

“I suppose my golf game has suffered and I suppose my hunting; there’s more ducks out there than there were before,” Clare said. “But that’s OK; they’ll be there again.”

When Clare does have free time, he likes to be outdoors, and, like a true Nebraskan, attend Husker athletic events.

District 3 Regent Jim Pillen of Columbus said if he could describe Clare in two words, they would be “passionate Nebraskan.”

Pillen said Clare brings good values to the table and is representative of Nebraskans. He said Clare, as a Board member, has worked hard to get others to be comfortable with occurring changes.

“I’ve appreciated his effort and his passion,” Pillen said.

Pillen said he thinks Clare could be good for re-election

because he’s demonstrated his “great work ethic” by what he’s done with the university. Along with achieving goals and getting results, he said Clare brings critical thinking skills in all issues.

Clare’s favorite part about being on the Board isn’t making decisions about what to do next at the university — it’s being on campus and working with students to better their UNL experience, he said.

“The fact that we’re now part of the Big Ten, that improves the prestige of your degree, if you will,” he said.

Clare said the board’s focus is to keep tuition affordable so students will want to attend and continue to receive a well-rounded and valuable education. Clare believes there is always room for improvement and ways to better the university and community, whether that be graduation rates or providing internship opportunities for students.

“I think your job is never done,” he said. news@ dailynebraskan.com

fraternity: from 1 is requiring all student housing have a fire sprinkler systems by 2017. The board’s decision was in reaction to a fire in a Greek house at Nebraska Wesleyan University in 2007 that led to the death of one student, she said.

“A lot of houses have been reconstructing or rebuilding because of this,” Schwartzkopf said.

The members also tried to make smaller decisions to make sure the house lasted longer. One example is tile flooring for the house. Wehrbein said they chose tile floors because it was easier to maintain and would last longer.

Another small addition to the house is hanging steel beds.

“Instead of bunk beds, we have steel beds suspended throughout the ceiling so that they have room to do whatever they need it for,” Wehrbein said.

People should expect to see an efficiently maintained and friendly house “that looks good on the outside … that blends into the architecture of east campus,” Wehrbein said.

In addition to the house, Alpha Gamma Rho now has 53 parking spots that are a combination of street parking and personal parking.

Wehrbein said he didn’t have advice to other Greek organizations on whether they should renovate or rebuild their houses to have fire sprinklers before the 2017 deadline.

“Every situation is an individual decision … it’s really hard to make a general statement,” Wehrbein said. “We needed to modernize the house, so that’s what we did.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

Professor finds new hopes, ideas in South Africa Partnership aims to promote international understanding, sharing resources WHITNEY CARLSON DN During his July trip to Pretoria, South Africa, Ted Hamann saw both a baby rhino at a watering hole and the view of Table Mountain. His most memorable experience, though, dealt with much more. His favorite part was the educational experience, which he said was both “direct and multi-sensory.”

“Visiting a Hindu temple and smelling the lingering incense, seeing the vigil outside of the hospital where Nelson Mandela is being cared for, hearing the eager yelling between high school students as they changed rooms during a school passing period, was all very tangible,” Hamann, an associate professor of teaching, learning and teacher education, wrote in an email.

“That kind of direct experience with content is much more powerful than what we can normally serve up in a typical class.”

Lincoln named ‘eCity’ of Nebraska Colleen Fell DN Lincoln was recognized by Google on Monday as the “eCity” of Nebraska.

The award, which is the first of its kind in Nebraska, honors cities that are using websites to draw more business and recognizes the city with the strongest online business community in each state. Ipsos, an independent research firm, determined the winners using a judging scale including whether small businesses had a website, used social networking and blogs and allowed e-commerce, which allows their customers to purchase products online.

And students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln are also partaking in the trend of online shopping.

“I probably browse online everyday, but I only buy something maybe every two weeks,” said Shannon Olson, a sophomore pre-nursing major at UNL. Olson said she usually finds her-

self using websites that have their own local stores, such as Gap and Lilly Pulitzer.

“It’s pretty important for me that it does (have an online presence),” Olson said. “I’m too lazy to go out and drive to an actual store.”

As far as drawbacks to not being able to shop in an actual store, Olson said she did not think there were many.

“Online is just easier. I can do it anytime of the day,” she said, “I don’t have to waste gas, and it’s just more convenient.”

Cyberspace retailing at UNL is increasing every year, according to Derek Schuckman, director of the University Bookstore. This semester alone, the University Bookstore’s website had more than 7,000 users, he said.

“Roughly 40 percent of the orders are online, and without (its website), the store would be even more crazy during this first week,” Schuckman said.

Shannon Olson students order textbooks online but also offers free in-store shipping or a ship-to-home option for a small postage fee. The online store also offers products that are not available in-store.

“The online store makes us more accessible to students,” Schuckman said. “Students are more mobile now with their computers and tablets.

They can just sit around and order what they need.”

According to Schuckman, don’t expect to see a decline in this trend, as the number of online customers increases each semester.

And the bookstore sets itself apart from the rest of the cyberspace retail world by offering products and payment methods,for example NCard, that students can’t find on other retail sites such as Amazon, he said. The bookstore has thousands of rental and used books available, Schuckman said.

And with a campus bookstore comes a sense of convenience and flexibility.

As Schuckman put it, “It’s always open.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

ASUN focuses on teamwork for coming year First meeting prompts discussion of social project, energy-saving ‘Do It in the Dark’ REECE RISTAU DN The Association of Students of the University of Nebraska had its first meeting of the school year Wednesday evening.

While the meeting was short, many senators expressed a desire to begin talking with their committees to start planning out the year.

ASUN President Eric Reznicek began the meeting with a brief explanation of what the three executives did during the summer. Reznicek, along with Coziahr and Story, attended a conference at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to meet with other Big Ten student government leaders.

Reznicek, a senior finance and marketing major, said he hopes to have an ASUN chief

intercultural: from 1 ing to the global admissions website. The most popular countries that international students at UNL come from are China, India and Japan.

Junlin said she sees how relieved Chinese international students are when she speaks Chinese with them and helps translate signs and documents that are in English.

“Everyone needs help sometimes,” said Junlin, who said she has personally met with and assisted about 40 international students so far this semester. “First-year students who come here will miss the food from their countries and their families. I hope I can help them feel better. I feel honored to be able to help others.”

Eventually, Loke said the program will probably be expanded to

include more aides and increased programming based on the results of this semester’s efforts. So far, the group has hosted a Jet Lag Pancake Feed for international students to get to know each other along with an International Welcome Picnic on Monday.

Loke said she hopes the intercultural aide program will help international and domestic students bridge the cultural gap that sometimes exists between the two groups.

“I think on the inside, international students don’t want to constantly be referred to as international students,” she said. “They ultimately want to be perceived as regular students.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

When Sen.

Students should be informed on health center issues University Health Center Director Dr. James Guest received calls throughout the spring and summer asking if the center was still in operation — even as it continued to serve students.

The center remained in its original building on U and 15th streets; remained a low-cost service provider to university students. But this week, its staff and volunteers had to spend three days passing out free pins and pamphlets as part of a “Quality Healthcare for Every Story” campaign to let students know that it still exists, despite early plans of its privatization.

A long-established institution shouldn’t have to spend its funds on an advertising campaign. If students had paid attention to current events or even just run a quick Google search, they would know that the University of Nebraska Board of Regents in June voted down a plan to hand operations of the center over to Bryan Health — and even if the board had approved privatization, the center wouldn’t have vanished.

It’s embarrassing that university students — the benefactors of the health center — can’t be bothered to notice UHC. And it’s a shame the health center had to use valuable time and money to convince them otherwise, especially at a time when it’s shortstaffed and hard at work planning a 2015 move to the proposed Bryan site farther from campus.

Kudos to UHC for making efforts to combat a lack of student awareness. The Daily Nebraskan hopes this campaign and future ones can help clear up any rumors and misinformation — because a health center is a terrible thing to waste. Students will be worse off if they neglect to take advantage of the conveniently located – and priced – services of the health center, especially as flu season approaches.

More news is to come regarding the health center as it prepares for its move. Hopefully, students will pay attention this time around.

Stop, collaborate and listen »Editor’s » Note: Today is Throwback Thursday! On the Third Thursday of Every month the DN will republish two columns from our archives. This segment is meant to give readers an idea of what columnists felt were issues worth writing about during their time at the DN. Both of the following columns are from the ’90s.

Hi.

Let’s get this out of the way up front. Don’t kill the messenger because of the message; don’t kill the idealist

because of the ideas.

What you’re going to see on these two pages in the coming months will often make you feel uncomfortable, and that’s a good thing, because it means that we’re getting to you. Ideas are meant to get under your skin even if you don’t agree with them. And that’s what the opinion section is.

Pages of raw ideas.

In the past, opinion editors before me have talked about the positive effects that the newspaper has had on them, as well as how they got into journalism. They tell you a little about their life story, and then a lot about the DN. They talk about the great things that have happened to them while they’ve been here at the university. They offer positive advice to incoming students and tell old war stories about days of yore.

Basically, they BS for a few pages to make you feel better.

Me, I’m the kind of guy who likes to pick a fight.

I’m not here to hold your hand and tell you that the university isn’t a scary place. It is. I’m not here to tell you all the people you hated in high school are gone. They aren’t. In fact, there’s more of them, whomever they are.

I’m not here to give the university nothing but praise, nor nothing but criticism. I’m no cheerleader, but I’m no doomsayer either. I’m a realist, and I’m here for a reason.

I’m here because I want to make a difference.

Yeah, it really sounds cheesy when I say it, but I’m here because I think somehow, something I have published will stop and make someone think. I’m hoping two students will get into a dialogue over something they’ve read here.

I want people to really think.

No matter what you may think about the

CLIFF HICKS

columns, the cartoons, the editorials or the letters, they aren’t done just to get on your nerves.

There are quite a few people on this planet, and each and every one of them has something different to say.

I want them to say it here.

The Daily Nebraskan isn’t a place where a bunch of elitists come, sit down and say “Well, what can we do to tick off the students of the university today?” We are students just like you. We’re concerned about what’s going on, and we want to keep you informed.

The editorial section is your chance to keep your finger on the public pulse. It’s your voice as much as it is ours. Maybe they’re the same voice. Or maybe just a very out-of-tune chorus of voices.

These pages represent a battlefield of ideas.

This is where conflicts begin and problems see at least a little closure. This is where people come to discuss. If you haven’t got an opinion, wait awhile. You’ll form one. We all know what opinions are like. We’ve all got one.

This is where we talk.

And talking is important.

I know, you’re thinking that you’ve heard this lecture about communication before, and it was from your parents. At least they raised me for 18 years, you’re thinking, so what gives this guy, who’s never even met me, the right to pontificate about opinions to me?

I’m trying to save you some of the hassle I went through.

College isn’t easy. I’ve been here for three years, and that’s the lesson I’ve learned best.

You’ll do more growing up here than you have the past 18 years of your life. Not only are you surrounded by thousands of people who have nothing in common with you, you have to get along with them.

Some people you’ll like. Some you’ll hate.

But no matter what you think of the people sitting next to you in whatever boring class you’re reading our columns in, those people can teach you as much as any teacher on this campus can. And there are plenty more people

just like them.

Every person has at least one story to tell.

Columnists will talk to everyone through the DN, and everyone has the chance to respond. They’re stating their opinions, and they don’t reflect on me, the newspaper, their fraternity/sorority, their place of birth or any other group of people. These are their opinions.

Columnists are allowed to talk about anything, as long as what they’re saying is new or insightful. And that’s what I’m asking out of all of you.

This is a discussion, a dialogue if you will.

And one person can’t do it alone. While two people make a conversation, imagine how much more interesting it’ll be when everyone starts getting involved. A university full of ideas, rather than a house of lemmings.

Think before you rush blindly into the sea because the guy next to you told you so.

New concepts, new dreams, new problems­ — new answers.

College is about stripping away all of what your parents taught you, your high school taught you, your friends taught you, television taught you and the media taught you, then building from scratch on whatever’s left.

Because what’s left is you.

It won’t always be smooth sailing, not here nor in whatever dorm room or apartment you’re in. We at the DN are idealists, and I’m hoping you will be too, when you get deep down inside yourself. But being an idealist isn’t easy.

I know things aren’t going to work out in the end, and wearing rose-colored glasses just means you’ve got red in your eyes. Problems do exist. We’ll never be without them, thank God, or I’d be out of a job. I think most of us are cynics at heart, like me.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t strive to right what’s wrong.

And remember, it’s us I’m talking about, not just me.

You belong here as much as I do, or as any of these columnists. You have ideas; we want to hear them. We want you engaged in these debates. We crave your letters, be they resentful, proud, angry or just plain funny. We need you with us. We can’t do it without you.

It’s not my paper. It’s not your paper. It’s our paper.

Welcome to the Daily Nebraskan.

I’ll be seeing you.

Journalists, readers should strive for mutual respect, sensitivity

T

he Daily Nebraskan has a problem.

Like the student population it strives to accurately and objectively inform, this newspaper suffers from a serious deficiency in ethnic

diversity.

Aside from the meager representation of a couple of reporters, the DN staff is entirely white. Considering the comparable makeup of the university population, this deficiency is to be expected.

That this lack of perspective rarely compromises the paper’s reputation is a credit to the competence of the staff and an inevitable effect of a largely homogenous perspective on campus.

Unfortunately, this deficiency is usually only recognized and regretted by those involved when the paper’s credibility is challenged.

I come neither to bury the DN nor to praise it, but to suggest the necessity of a working relationship of mutual respect and sensitivity between the student press and population.

The press should strive to serve the public’s interests rather than its own, a concept largely forgotten in the increasingly corporate world of professional journalism where the ideal has been corrupted by elitist condescension and political correctness.

Consequently, the working press is expecting less of the so-called “ignorant mass-

es,” and the reading public is becoming increasingly skeptical toward the objectivity and sensitivity of the press.

The word sensitivity can send chills down the spines of the heartiest journalists, many of whom would argue that caution castrates objectivity. Indeed, how can news be hard-hitting when journalists must pull their punches?

Instead of reporting the news sensitively, however, I would suggest that reporters gather information with prudence. And while journalists should never pull their punches, they should recognize who is taking the worst beating and consider why.

At the same time, the reading public should be aware of the difficulties inherent to relaying and interpreting the truth. If the news betrays a certain bias, consider questioning rather than accusing the messenger.

Perhaps an example of the alternative and its consequences is in order.

Seven years ago, a black NU football player stripped naked and assaulted a woman in public. When police arrived and arrested the man, a DN photographer was on the scene to get the scoop.

On the following day, the paper’s front page boasted a photograph of this naked and bound black man being escorted to a police car by white officers.

Many black students and staff were outraged by the racist implications of this photo, claiming that it reinforced stereotypes and

MATT peterson

portrayed an obvious allusion to slavery. The football team demanded an official apology from the newspaper.

But the DN’s editor stood by the picture’s publication, arguing that it was irrefutably a representation of objective fact.

After several reportedly hostile public forums and a host of death threats, this young woman saw her support dwindle and eventually decided to finish her education elsewhere.

An unfortunate lack of sensitivity on both sides of this controversy resulted in the polarization of campus and the resignation of a devoted editor-in-chief.

Hindsight is indeed 20/20, and although the racist connotations of this photo would seem obvious, I can also imagine the excitement in the newsroom as such a poignant story and telling photo came together.

It may have been insensitive to run the photo, but running the editor out of town

seems a bit extreme, as well.

During recent years, administrative measures have been taken by the university and College of Journalism and Mass Communications to prevent such racial tension and encourage a more welcoming environment for minority students.

But no matter how many diversity contracts and journalism scholarships are offered, cross burnings, sidewalk slurs and, indeed, wayward snowballs make for more lasting impressions.

Even the training provided by the journalism college, which preaches accuracy and objectivity as guiding principles, is little match for the latent bias affecting every reportorial and editorial decision made by the newspaper’s staff.

Indeed, all of the above measures are little more than fingers in the proverbial dike.

Encouraging diversity in the newsroom is certainly the long-term solution, but the bottom line is that the press remains 90 percent white, according to the National Association of Black Journalists.

This must be an intimidating figure for any prospective minority journalist, and while there is an abundance of opportunities for people of color in the press, the fact remains that journalism is a tough job that rarely pays well for anyone.

Bringing diversity to the newsroom is going to be a slow and painstaking process, and

the press and its consumers must decide how to get along in the meantime. This can only happen if a civilized discourse between the press and the public it serves is encouraged, whether through letters to the editor or guestperspective columns on the opinion pages.

It should not be overlooked that working for a student newspaper is as much an educational experience as attending classes.

The educational microcosm that a student newspaper presents can provide an opportunity for student journalists to test the waters and establish an effectual relationship with their reading public in preparation for the “real world.”

This is not to question the culpability or legitimacy of the DN, the professionalism of its staff or, indeed, the reality of the world the paper is printed in. Rather, it is the professionalism of the very profession that has become questionable.

It will be the responsibility of the next wave of professional journalists to regain the credibility that previous professionals have lost, instituting this relationship on the grander scale and confirming the continued viability of the press as a provider of reliable information rather than sensationalistic entertainment.

t’s a Brave New Brew.

So reads the label on a pint glass filled with the “single blonde” brew. It’s a product of Zipline Brewery, a locally owned business new to west Lincoln. In just a short time, the brewery has grown rapidly, building a name for itself in the Lincoln area.

Production began in November 2012, the taproom opened the next January, and by July, the first bottled products were sent out.

Co-owner Marcus Powers started brewing homemade beer in January 2008.

“I went down to local shop and bought an entry level kit,” Powers said. “I learned that it wasn’t near what I needed, so I started building more complicated equipment.”

Powers recalled his family’s reaction to his home brewery, a set-up made up of an industrial shelf the held tanks, kettles, tubes and cooling coils. He said his wife decorated the equipment, which sat near their kitchen table.

“I remember one Thanksgiving dinner, my motherin-law looked over and asked, ‘Why is that tank bubbling?’” Powers said. “I told her, ‘Don’t worry I just brewed some beer. It’s fermenting.’”

The idea of bringing the brewery out of the home and to the people of Lincoln was brought to Powers’ attention at a company softball game while he was working for the Nebraska Attorney General Office.

Powers was approached with a business proposal by Tom Wilmoth and James Gallentine, who later became co-owners of Zipline.

With his wife’s encouragement, Powers decided it was time to take a chance on expanding his hobby, giving back to his community in the process.

Brewer Mike Boden takes a sample from a fresh batch. Boden, who has been brewing for six years, said it takes about eight hours to complete each batch.

Band changes name, keeps sound Yuliya Petrova dn You don’t have to travel far to see A Ferocious Jungle Cat. A local six-member band, including two brothers originally from Blair recently changed its name from More Machine Now Than Man but plans to uphold its blended musical style.

Lead vocalist Will Harman, a senior English major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said the band’s sound is similar to ’70s soul music, based on a rhythm with drums and bass.

“It’s a lot of different things, but probably the easiest way to say it is it’s funk, soul, dance music — something to get people moving and dancing and having a good time,” Harman said. “The keyboard I play on is actually from 1979.”

Will Harman said band members try to make their sound as throwback as possible.

“It’s real people playing real instruments making real music,” he said.

Cal Harman plays drums for A Ferocious Jungle Cat and is Will’s younger brother.

“We blend in some hip hop that makes our sound more contemporary,” Cal said.

It all began three years ago in the Harmans’ living room.

“It started as something to just have fun with; get together and a jam a little bit,” Will said.

The band formed in fall 2011 and played its first show in January 2012. After each show, the band easily booked another. Knickerbokers, Duffy’s, The Bourbon and then Omaha.

They were forced to change the original name of More Machine Now Than Man after realizing there was a band elsewhere with a similar name.

A friend of Will’s was over one day and told him, “All you do is sit on the couch all day. You’re never going to be a ferocious jungle cat.”

As time passed and the group was

“It fits our band’s sound better than the old name,” Cal said.

“We also asked ourselves, ‘Would we go see a show with that band playing?’”

Although the band hasn’t reached the peak of popularity in the Lincoln music scene, the band is not discouraged.

“To have the opportunity to play for people who have never heard our music before encourages us, especially when they come up to us after the show and tell us they liked our sound,” Will said.

In July, the band opened for

“We asked people to support a local business, so we give back to our community,” Powers said.

In the past, Zipline has donated beer to local charities and fund-raising events. They’ve also gotten involved in First Friday, displaying the art of local artists in their taproom.

“We try to involve as much community as possible,” Powers said.

Community is also important within the company itself.

“My favorite part about working here is I feel like I have a voice in some of the decisions made by the company,” said Zipline brewer Mike Boden.

Jason Sitzman, taproom and sales manager, has had a big hand in the growth of the company.

Zipline’s mission is to produce a wide, creative variety of beers.

“It’s rewarding to see people are coming in here to enjoy themselves after a stressful day to escape their world and have a nice refreshing pint,” Sitzman said.

“No matter what their palette may be.”

The brewery doesn’t skimp on ingredients. Imported hops from New Zealand are used to create a hop Indian pale ale, organic rolled oats are part of the oatmeal porter and a country white ale that has strong portion of organic Nebraska wheat.

“Craft beer is growing rapidly as a category in general and with that, you see a lot of beer with more flavor from hops,” Sitzman said.

One of the key factors Powers and his staff focuses on is lab work: There’s a lot of microbiology in the brewing process.

“Our business doesn’t succeed without great beer, so it all goes back to lab analysis and quality equipment,” Powers said. “The process of treating yeast in a way it

Program offers new outlook on arts Interdisciplinary Art Symposium will give students opportunity to develop better understanding of arts

Vince Moran dn

Cynthia Todd DN Art can be found in anyone, and the Interdisciplinary Art Symposium is out to prove it.

The IAS is a large, theme-based multi-part program that gives students the opportunity to take a more critical and historical approach to the performing arts.

“It offers students, faculty and community members a new, more global and holistic way to think about the experience of dance, drama, music and visual art,” said IAS program director Rhonda Garelick. “IAS invites people to move beyond spectator-ship and to participate in and think about the arts in society.”

Past IAS themes have included “Immigration, Migration and Transplantation in Performance” and “Ancient World through Modern Eyes.” This year’s theme is “Performing Partnerships: Great American Collaborations of the Stage,” and will take a look at how artistic partnerships are created and what can come out of them.

IAS brings in guest speakers, performers and artists to interact with students and expand their understanding of the performing arts.

“We have had wonderful interactions between guests and students,” Garelick said. “Sometimes our visitors help spark new ideas in our students for their own future careers or creative paths.”

Some of the guests IAS has planned for the spring semester include the Martha Graham Dance Company’s “Appalachian Spring,” which will be followed by a twoperson show, “Martha and The Johnny Carson Theater.” IAS is also bringing Andrew Soloman to

“This year we also have a special focus on LGBTQ issues,” said associate IAS director Amy Ossian. “The final event of the season will be a week-long residency and public performance of ‘It Gets Better,’ a collaboration between the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles, Speak Theater Arts and the It Gets Better Project.”

IAS intends to open the eyes of those who aren’t familiar with the arts.

“IAS has offered students, some of whom haven’t had opportunities to experience live performing arts, to talk to directors, choreographers, composers and actors about their lives and creative process,” Garelick said. “It opens up new areas for students to pursue in their own lives and in their students.”

The actual course isn’t necessarily directed to only fine arts students. The department has had students from every department come through and participate. Anyone

“Josh Hoyer and Shadowboxes for example, the way they play, go out and have a good time is inspiring,” Will said. “I want to be up on stage and share that with people, and I’m lucky to have a band to do that with.”

When it comes to recording, the pressure and cost of studio time is gone. Band members agreed having quality recordings is one of the most important aspects of what they do.

They record in Will’s garage, so any time pressures are eliminated because they aren’t paying for studio time.

“It starts with the songs,” Will added.

With two EPs, “That’s no moon” and “One, two, three, One,

“I come up with a couple sections of the song, bring that to the band, tell them my thoughts, edit the structure, play it and make changes,” Will said. “You don’t know what a song sounds like until you play it.”

Even after much rehearsing, when it’s the day of a show, Will still gets nervous. But the nerves go away once they play the first song.

“The lead up to the show it when I get anxious about what could go wrong,” Will said.

“Even with a smaller crowd I am more nervous than a larger one.”

He remembers praying noth-

ing would go wrong in the first show, that the sound wouldn’t cut out and that they could simply make it through their set list.

When it comes to rituals before the big show, Will said he always showers before a show and braids his hair into two long strands.

“It gets me focused on what we need to do and think about how the show is going to go, song flow and etc,” His brother Cal has his own pre-show routine.

“If you don’t make good beer you will not succeed,” he added.

Powers said the magic behind brewing really comes down to what’s hiding under that microscope.

“At the end of the day, it’s an art and a science,” Powers said. “Both elements are important. If you don’t understand the science behind it, it’s hard to make good beer, and if you don’t understand the art of making good beer, then it’s just making food.” arts@ dailynebraskan.com

Gimme five indie films from this past summer 1. Frances Ha: Noah Baumbach’s new comedy “Frances Ha” depicts a young woman’s daily life and adventures in New York City, where she is looking for her place and purpose in the world. Frequent Baumbach collaborator Greta Gerwig, who plays the titular character and also co-wrote the screenplay, is fantastic as Frances. She creates a character full of pronounced external joy and enthusiasm whose philosophy on life to take things as they are, make the best of them, and extract as much fun from each passing moment as possible. Baumbach’s direction is superb as well, filming entirely in black and white. While this is bound to draw immediate comparisons to Woody Allen’s “Manhattan,” it is influenced even more by the French New Wave, particularly the romantically playful films of François Truffaut. “Frances Ha” is a complete delight through and through, the best film of the year so far and a great look at the highs and lows of a lasting friendship.

2. Stories We Tell: Sarah Polley’s third film is a documentary about her own peculiar life story, exploring family, art and truth. In the film, Polley interviews members of her family and intercuts it with old home movies and original footage. The film creates a mystery surrounding Polley’s parentage when questions arise about who her biological father is. While the mystery aspect of the film is engaging, what really makes “Stories We Tell” so wonderful is the interviews with Polley’s family members, whose stories are sure to resonate with audiences and bring back memories and emotions of their own. The film is extremely personal and experimental, in the process revealing there may be no complete truth to our past, and perhaps the closest we can get to truly understanding it is something along the lines of this edited compilation.

4. I’m So Excited: Pedro Almodóvar’s new film is a return to his early days as a filmmaker directing absurdist comedies. While it has not gotten the best of reviews, this seems to be in nearly every case because critics are taken aback by the comedic tone of the film, expecting Almodóvar to continue with his more recent serious fare.

However, it is still unmistakably an Almodóvar film, one which has a complicated and diverse representation of sexual orientation, a vibrant and detailed color scheme, offbeat characters and the stylistic direction that has become his trademark. Audiences get all of this while having a blast and laughing throughout. There is a particularly funny scene which contains a hilarious dance number choreographed to the song which gives the film its title and is worth the price of admission alone.

3. Much Ado About Nothing: Many may not have expected Joss Whedon’s follow up to his uber-successful blockbuster “The Avengers” to be a minuscule-budgeted black and white Shakespeare film. However, despite what the box office might say, his adaptation of Shakespeare’s comedy “Much Ado About Nothing” is inexplicably more enjoyable and entertaining than his CGI-laden superhero flick. Whedon’s film is made up of a cast of his close friends and was shot in 12 days at his own home in Santa Monica, Calif., in between the shooting of “The Avengers.” The result is a supremely satisfying take on the play, and it is obvious that everyone involved had a blast during the production, despite the budget and short shooting schedule.

While some aspects of the plot do not completely work with the updated setting, the performances

by Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof and especially Nathan Fillion as Dogberry completely make up for any shortcomings.

5. Before Midnight: The third film in Richard Linklater’s trilogy, which chronicles the lives of now 40-something couple Celine and Jesse, played once again with great vulnerability and sincerity by Julie Deply and Ethan Hawke, is “Before Midnight.” Both Deply and Hawke, who also helped pen the screenplay with Linklater, jump easily back into their characters. The film continues to use the style set up by its predecessors, with very impressive long takes of the couple walking and talking about life, the past, the future, while adding kids and new careers into the discussion this time around. It is an amazing experiment Linklater, Hawke and Deply have set out on by checking in on this relationship every nine years. With it they have created some of the most interesting films on love, relationships and how they change over time. Here’s to hoping the trio will be back once again in nine more years.

Director Edgar Wright and actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost complete their trilogy of parodies of over the top Hollywood genre movies with their new film “The World’s End.” While they have tackled the zombie and cop popcorn flicks before with “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz,” this time they are going apocalyptic, a genre that seems more present than ever, frequenting cinemas at what seems to be a rate of at least once a month.

“The World’s End” tells the story of Gary King, played by Pegg, a washed up man pushing 40 who dreams about reclaiming the glory days spent with his high school friends. They particularly want to relive the night they attempted, but failed, to accomplish “the golden mile,” in which they drank a pint of beer at 12 pubs located in their wonderfully, quaintly named hometown of Newton Haven. King somehow convinces his estranged friends to try this feat again when they discover that, in their absence, the town has changed for the worse and is now inhabited by robots.

Once again Wright, Pegg and Frost do a pitch perfect spoof of the genre, while paying homage to it at the same time. They never resort to tasteless jokes regarding the structure of apocalyptic films.

Instead they give the genre the respect it deserves and at the same time poke fun at its shortcomings.

The trilogy has always been enjoyable because the films are all suprisingly well-made and because the movie crew clearly does the research on the genre it’s spoofing, as can be seen by the intricately detailed flight sequences and expertly orchestrated editing, The film also has a surprisingly talented cast for a comedy spoof with such high profile British actors as Paddy Considine, Eddie Marsan, Martin Freeman, Rosamund Pike and Pierce Brosnan appearing. Though comedy may not be every actor’s forte, they all blend in with Pegg and Frost as if they had been born to perform alongside each other as old high school buddies.

While much of the film does work, it has small weaknesses. For instance, though its plot circulates

around the hilarity that ensues with drunken behavior, it tries to have the best of both worlds by also having a conscience about it in the end. This message is relayed a little halfheartedly and is further subverted by some annoying music cues which could easily have been done without. The film also makes use of digital CGI effects, which at times takes away from the comedy and action. Many spoofs take advantage of their special effects not looking totally believable and juxtapose themselves to their counterpart’s total investment in making the audience believe for a second that the creatures and the danger of the film actually are real.

However, the effects do not completely ruin the chase and fight sequences, which the viewer can at least follow — unlike most action films currently being released, which embrace fast-cutting, chaotic, shaky cam footage.

These are small complaints in a film that is predominantly a fun and funny movie-going experience. The movie even has a great subtle message about conformity in the modern world and the misplaced desire to make society operate at such a perfectly bureaucratic level that human error is totally erased. The message of the film paired with the steady laughs and exciting action sequences make “The World’s End” a worthy end to Wright, Pegg and Frost’s trilogy.

Wong-Orantes didn’t just come for the indoor volleyball, but also for Nebraska’s newest sport: sand volleyball. The 201314 year will be the second year for the Huskers in the growing sport of beach volleyball, and Wong-Orantes is excited at the program’s adoption of the sport.

In the Red-White game, Wong-Orantes recorded 12 digs and had three assists while playing in all three sets. She committed only one mistake: misreading a shot that she thought was going out of play but landed next to her in play.

Three Volleyball Players to Watch

Broekhuis

robinson

haggerty

Morgan Broekhuis: If the Red-White preseason scrimmage was any indication, senior Morgan Broekhuis could be a main impact player for the Huskers this season. Against the Nebraska alumni team, the senior right side hitter notched 12 kills on 28 attacks, and she added two digs. Last year, Broekhuis averaged 2.73 kills and 1.34 digs per set, helping the Huskers place second in the Big Ten. She was also instrumental in helping Nebraska beat the previous NCAA champion UCLA by recording 15 kills, two of which sealed the game for the Huskers.

Kelsey Robinson: Senior captain Kelsey Robinson went down with a shoulder injury during the preseason scrimmage Saturday, but it does not appear to be serious.

Robinson was one of three players who coach John Cook named a captain and one of two to secure a starting position before the season started.

The senior outside hitter played last year at Tennessee, where she won a number of awards, including First Team All-SEC 2012, 2011 SEC Player of the Year and AVCA HonorableMention All-American in 2012, among several other honors.

Meghan Haggerty: In just one season, sophomore Meghan Haggerty has proved to be one of Nebraska’s biggest weapons. Haggerty was awarded with an Honorable-Mention All-American selection and an All-Mideast selection last year.

On top of picking up four Big Ten Freshman of the Week titles, the then-freshman was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman team.

Haggerty was just the eighth true freshman to start a season opener during Cook’s 13-year tenure as head coach.

Top-ranked teams highlight volleyball slate The match between Penn State and Nebraska will be held Nov. 30 in Lincoln and will be the regularseason finale. The Lady Lions are the second best team in the country, and they split their two games against the Huskers last season.

The game could not only be crucial in securing a conference title, but could also have a major impact on the rankings.

Michigan State follows closely behind. The Spartans are ranked No. 14 and are the Big Ten’s fourth best team. In 2012, Michigan State earned a 3-2 win against Nebraska on its home court. Nebraska will face Michigan State in East Lansing on October 12 and in Lincoln on November 15.

A clear trend has been set; Nebraska’s biggest competition in the 2012 season was within the Big Ten Conference, and this season seems no different, with a number of home-and-away series against nationally ranked league opponents.

—Compiled by Liz Uehling sports@ dailynebraskan.com

The Nebraska volleyball season will begin Friday at the Marcia E. Hamilton Classic at Saint Louis University’s Chaifetz Arena. Friday’s match against LouisianaMonroe begins at 4:30 p.m.

That is just the start of a competitive season for the No. 10 Huskers.

Last year, Nebraska ended its season with a 26-7 record. Five of the Huskers’ seven losses came in away matches.

This season, in addition to playing last year’s national champion, Texas, on the road, Nebraska will go up against two Big Ten opponents ranked in the top 10.

The second-best Big Ten team in the preseason rankings is Minnesota, which holds the No. 6 position in the nation. Last November, the Golden Gophers beat the Huskers in a five-set match, which accounted for NU’s fifth and final loss on the road. They will play Oct. 4 at the Bob Devaney Sports Center and Nov. 10 in Minneapolis.

Penn State is the highest ranked team in the conference.

football practice notes Return of the Blackshirts

If you were one of the few spectators at Nebraska’s practice Wednesday evening, you may have noticed a few players wearing darker colored jerseys than their teammates.

“We decided that some of the veteran guys have done a tremendous job helping the younger guys on our defense come along,” John Papuchis said.

The defensive coordinator addressed the media after practice explaining why some of the members on his side of the line were awarded Blackshirts.

“Their effort on the field, their attitude, their work in the meeting room,” Papuchis began. “Part of being a Blackshirt is defined by your work ethic, your attention to detail and the leadership you bring to the team. The guys we awarded the team were certainly worthy of those things.”

The seven players Papuchis and the coaching staff felt were deserving of the honor were seniors Jason Ankrah, Stanley JeanBaptiste, Ciante Evans and Thad Randle; juniors Corey Cooper and Josh Mitchell; and sophomore David Santos.

The coach added that those won’t be the only seven he plans to give out this season.

“The other positions are still up for grabs in terms of who else will earn one,” Papuchis said.

“We’ll keep evaluating as the year goes on but those are the seven we’re handing out right now.”

Depth in the backfield

Freshman running back Adam Taylor is contemplating whether he wants to redshirt his first year as a Husker, running backs coach Ron Brown said earlier this week.

Although Brown mentioned that he would rather have him out on the field this season, Wednesday Brown said he feels content with the group he currently has available on the bench.

If starting running back Ameer Abdullah goes down, he can count on his other backs to rise to the occasion.

“We’ve got some good players at that position,” Brown said.

“You know what happened to Rex last year, you got to get guys

ready to play. You may need a fourth guy. King Frazier’s a guy who’s really had a good fall camp and a good spring. He’s a guy who can play.”

Although it may be tough for them to get much playing time, the coach added that it’s a good problem to have.

“There’s still some discernment on how to divide up the carries, particularly early in year,” he said. “It’s going to be hot and humid probably on Saturday night.

We’ve got really young players who are talented. Just have to do a wise job at how to play them.”

Expectations for wide receivers

When asked after practice Wednesday what makes the perfect wide receiver, wide receivers coach Rich Fisher could not give just one answer. According to Fisher, there is a multitude of assets he looks for.

“I want speed. I want guys that are fast, and I want guys that love football,” he said. “Guys that want to learn and want to work hard. I think if you have those characteristics you’ll be successful wherever.”

The type of players he has seen show those characteristics so far are upperclassmen Kenny Bell, Jamal Turner and Quincy Enunwa – all guys who expect to see plenty of balls thrown their way from quarterback Taylor Martinez this season.

However, with the handful of young players this season, Fisher realizes that the newcomers may not all turn out to be like their older teammates right away.

“Obviously, the expectation is for them to perform like the guy in front of them,” he said.

“That’s how we coach them, and that’s the expectation in the room.

But you also realize that the guy who’s been doing it for three years, the game’s probably going to be a lot slower for them than the guy who’s stepping out there for the first time.”

Regardless of how many years they have been Huskers, Fisher said he feels he can trust all his players equally this season come kickoff Saturday.

“They’re all great players,” Fisher said. “They wouldn’t be here if they weren’t. They’ve earned it out here.”

Gaines added, “The focus should really just be about having fun.”

For students who want to avoid team sports altogether, the intramural program offers plenty of individual events as well. Among them are pool, rifle shooting and even Texas Hold’em poker.

“We have a tournament night

Tournament nights will be held in October, and Strong Husker begins October 27. All dates for intramural events and deadlines for applications can be found on the campus recreation website.

“We have students come back every year to play and participate in intramurals,” Miller said. “I don’t know what each person gets out of it. For some it’s social, and others it’s competitive, but whatever it is, they keep coming back.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com

The Orlando Sentinel reported that Bo Pelini is honoring a scholarship offer to injured quarterback prospect Zack Darlington. less. Much of their conversation revolved around Pelini’s emotions and sideline demeanor.

In April, Pelini was instrumental in allowing 7-year-old pediatric cancer patient Jack Hoffman to run for a touchdown in Nebraska’s spring game. That play won the ESPY award for “Best Moment” and brought positive publicity to Nebraska.

And in both spring and fall camp, videos by Nebraska’s athletic department have shown Pelini letting down his guard.

In the spring, he participated in his team’s “Harlem Shake” video, dancing around with his hat on backward in a mosh pit of players. During a fall camp meeting, he and senior defensive tackle Thad Randle pulled a prank on the rest of the Huskers, interrupting the meeting with a cellphone

call and giving the team a night off to go to a movie.

The occurrences portray Pelini in a more positive light publicly.

And none of them may be as telling as the most recent one.

Not every coach would decide not to take a scholarship away from a seriously injured prospect, and Pelini should be commended for doing just that.

As Darlington took that hard hit on Saturday, so did his chances of earning a scholarship to play quarterback in college.

But Pelini and Nebraska backed him up, and they helped lend a positive message to a story that could have become more tragic than it already was.

Rec Sports

The Rec offers intramurals for everyone Bailey Neel DN For one-third of the students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, intramural sports are a regular part of their days. The office, located inside the Campus Recreation Center, takes applications for team sports and individual activities, provides equipment and trains officials so that the thousands of students participating can get the most out of their experiences.

Ron Miller, the assistant director for campus recreation, notes that intramurals have always been a part of the college experience, but with new sports and events added each year, they now appeal to a wider crowd.

“They have always been big, like even back when I started here in 1994,” Miller said. “Sports like sand volleyball just became really popular last year, and now we are adding kickball in the spring because there’s suddenly a lot of interest in it, but there’s some sports that will always just be more popular.”

Flag football and basketball are the two most in-demand sports; they normally have more than 350 teams each.

“Our flag football teams are usually pretty good,” Miller said.

“We usually have teams that go to regional and national competitions. Actually last year one of our teams won nationals.”

The factor that makes intramurals so appealing to so many is the ability to participate competitively or just for fun.

“It can be really laid back and fun environment for students to get to know each other,” said junior Karli Gaines, who works at the intramurals office.

“There’s also people that take it really seriously, and that’s fun, too, because we want competitive people to enjoy it but only to an extent,” Gaines said. “We’ve had to eject people from games for being too aggressive.”

According to Miller, one of the most difficult things to deal with is the students who not only take the

Jackson starts fifth year after overcoming injury Bailey Neel DN For senior Jordan Jackson, the 2013 soccer season is not only her last year playing for Nebraska but also her comeback year after suffering an MCL injury in the fall 2012. Jackson has been a major part of the Husker offense since her freshman year and has received multiple awards and honors, including First Team All-Big 12 and Second Team All-Big Ten. “Coming in as a freshman, I always looked up to Jordan,” junior Mayme Conroy said. “She’s our leader and our captain, and, I mean, she’s who we go to when we need those big plays.”

During the 2012 preseason, Jackson tore the MCL in her right knee and missed the first seven games.

“Initially, I thought it was my ACL and thought the worst,” Jackson said.

“When I found out it was MCL, I knew I could come back from that, but either way I wasn’t not going to play soccer.”

After seven weeks of physical therapy and rehab, Jackson was cleared and got back onto the field against Northwestern in the conference opener.

“I was feeling pretty good and thought I could finish the season, but then I re-injured it in the game against Northern Colorado,” Jackson said.

“And it was back to physical therapy.

My knee has been at 100 percent since preseason, and everything’s feeling good.”

Jordan Jackson Senior forward

And that’s when I took the medical redshirt.”

Jackson’s redshirt status allows her to play another full season with the Huskers, as she missed almost all the games in her senior year. This will be her fifth year with the team.

“It was horrible not being able to play,” Jackson said. “Any competitive athlete will tell you that not being able to contribute to the team is the worst feeling.

“I still needed to be a part of it though, and it just gave me a different role: one that wasn’t on the field.”

Any athlete coming back from an injury, especially a senior, is someone to look up to. Jackson hopes that she set a good example for younger players on the team.

“I think it showed them not to ever quit and to fight through everything,” Jackson said. “I mean, there’s always a possibility that it could happen again, but if I thought about it all the time I wouldn’t be able to play as aggres-

sively, and I don’t want fear to hold me back.”

It was that mindset that helped Jackson fully recover, and she says that she feels more than prepared for this fall season.

“My knee has been at 100 percent since preseason, and everything’s feeling good,” Jackson said. “I think we probably also have the best team we’ve had in the last four or five years.

We have eleven returning starters, a big upperclassman group and really strong freshmen coming in. We’re already ahead of where we were at this time last year.”

For teammates like Conroy, having Jackson on the roster this year has already made a big impact on the team.

“She works hard and always gives it her all, and we all kind of feed off that energy,” Conroy said. “Having her back is definitely getting us off to a good start.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com

A year after sustaining an MCL tear and missing nearly an entire season, senior forward Jordan Jackson, who made Second-Team All-Big Ten two years ago, has returned for another season.
