EDITOR’S LETTER

ISSUE N° 1

STAFF

Summer break is a great time to change. At least that’s what I’ve always said.

Nebraskan. You’re holding our biggest change in your hands.

With almost four months away from friends (and possibly family), there’s time to start a new workout plan, try a new haircut, break a bad habit or work up the courage for a first tattoo.

We’ll print 10 issues throughout the calendar year — one each month, with combined issues for November/December and May/June. Inside, you’ll find a combination of relevant news, profiles of local businesses and students, food and music recommendations and information about campus events throughout each month.

For me, I spent my last summer of college 705 miles away from home interning at The Buffalo News. While most of my time was spent at work, I was also able to check a couple items off my bucket list, including visiting Niagara Falls and New York City.

But it’s not just students who use the summer to change. Since we left in May, UNL began renovations in the Nebraska Union and the City of Lincoln began restructuring the traffic flow on 16th Street. The Mill Coffee & Tea opened a third location on Nebraska Innovation Campus. And although work on the new College of Business, 17th Street Dining Complex and Massengale Residential Center began before May, all three were completed this summer.

We’ve also made some changes here at The Daily

But don’t worry, you’ll still see us online everyday. As always, find us at dailynebraskan.com for timely stories, event coverage and breaking news. Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter @DailyNeb, Facebook at The Daily Nebraskan and Instagram @dailynebraskan.

Art from & for the heart ALEX PAUN STAFF WRITER It’s no secret a variety of 6-foot heart sculptures have taken over the lawns of buildings across downtown and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus within the past few months.

But only one of the hearts was created by a UNL student.

Allie Laing, a junior double majoring in advertising and public relations and graphic design, heard about Nebraska by Heart, a public art project consisting of heart sculptures created by local artists to commemorate Nebraska’s 150th birthday, while interning at Nebraska 150, an organization dedicated to celebrating the state’s sesquicentennial anniversary.

The sculpture-making process involved mocking up a heart on an 11-by-17-inch sheet of paper, and submitting it to a group of jurors on the Nebraska by Heart board.

Laing’s Nebraska-themed heart, inspired by the state’s all-encompassing nature, was one of 93 chosen — one heart for every county in Nebraska.

Laing’s inspiration for her heart came from a pack of Nebraska-themed playing cards she designed for the merchandise collection at her internship.

“What I wanted to do was to show all the different aspects of Nebraska,” Laing said.

“Whether it was the [Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge] down in Omaha, or the agricultural side, or the community side, I wanted to find a way to make it all interact.”

To translate her concept from a piece of paper to the heart, Laing created decals to stick onto her painted heart. Her dad, Ian Laing, an Omaha-based metalworking artist who created two heart sculptures of his own for the project, served as an inspiration and helper for her sculpture.

Ian Laing found out about the project in an email from Allie, and he crafted two copper and steel hearts, bouncing ideas back and forth with her over text messages.

When the project reached out to the Greek community at UNL, he realized it would be a great opportunity for Allie to use her graphic design skills to represent her sorority.

“I said, ‘If you came up with an Alpha Omicron Pi design, it’d be a slam dunk,’” Ian Laing said.

DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Allie created and submitted a design themed around her sorority, but it wasn’t chosen.

That’s when she decided to create the Nebraska-themed design. She finished it in a matter of days.

The 125-pound sculpture was shipped to her dad’s house, where Ian primed and stored it in his garage. Allie came home over several weekends to finish the heart.

As a parent and an artist, Ian Laing said he is immensely proud to have his daughter have a sculpture in the project alongside his.

“One of the greatest things in a parent’s life is seeing your kids being successful,” Ian Laing said. “Allie brings people along for the ride with her, and it’s just been great to watch her grow.”

In total, Allie Laing estimated she spent between 30 and 40 hours working on the sculpture.

“It was like an 8 a.m. to 3 a.m. thing, just to get all the decals on there,” she said.

Each artist received $500 go toward purchasing supplies for their heart. To meet the project’s $3,000 sponsorship requirement, Laing said Taylor Lofdahl, the president of the Zeta Chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi at UNL, and the rest of the sorority stepped in, using grassroots methods and calling upon alumnae to raise funds between January and March.

They raised $4,724 in total.

“It truly was a group effort,” Lofdahl said. “We even had a GoFundMe page that was circulated between Facebook and whatnot.”

On Oct. 6, all hearts in the project will be auctioned off at Haymarket Park. Two-thirds of the money made from each heart will be split between the two Nebraska nonprofit organizations sponsoring the project: the Sadie Dog Fund, which raises funds to help dog owners pay unforeseen medical bills, and Lead Up, which provides mentoring and academic support to underrepresented high school students. The other third will go back to each individual artist.

Laing said she is thankful for the experience and a little surprised she was the only student that made a heart.

“I got an email saying all the students and alumni that made a heart were going to be in [a photograph],” Laing said. “I was the only student that showed up.”

Although her final design is not her original proposal, Laing is excited to represent her sorority in a different way.

“I think it’s super cool, being able to put mine in front of the house,” Laing said. “A lot of sororities do have them, but there’s just something unique about being able to have what I made in front of my house.”

HARD WORK

& A PINCH OF SALT GAYLE ROCZ STAFF WRITER Because of the limited job opportunities, Safwan Qaedi began herding sheep when he was 12 years old to help provide for his family.

He worked long hours for low wages while getting an education.

“I hated my life,” Qaedi said. “I hated everything.”

Hoping to make something, anything better, Qaedi’s family moved to Turkey in 2012.

But it wasn’t that simple. Qaedi said it was almost as difficult as living in Iraq because of the unfamiliar environment and his family didn’t speak fluent Turkish.

On top of it all, his family still lived in poverty.

“We didn’t have anything,” he said. “No money, no food.”

Making the best of a bleak situation, Qaedi went out to look for work his second day in Turkey. His search led him in the direction of a few local bakeries.

The first two bakeries Qaedi tried to work for would not hire him because of his faith. Qaedi and his family practice Yazidism, which is a minority religion whose followers are primarily found in northern Iraq. Yazidis have been persecuted for many years by Muslims and other groups.

The incorporation of numerous belief systems has given the Yazidi community the stigma of being involved with heresy, which is believing in something that contradicts an orthodox religious belief.

But Qaedi’s luck changed with the third bakery. After speaking to the owner, Bünyamin Soulu, Qaedi said he agreed to let him work there, even though they were not of the same faith.

“He said it was OK that I was Yazidi and let me work with him,” Qaedi said.

16

AUGUST 2017

RESTAURANT PROFILE Qaedi worked at that bakery every day for the next three years, earning the equivalent of $7 for each 12-hour workday. His first duties included cleaning the store and assisting Soulu and Tolga Han Parlak, the cake chef and the cookie chef.

But Qaedi wasn’t just sweeping the entire time he was there. During his shifts, he would watch both Soulu and Parlak work, committing their baking methods to memory and sometimes taking notes on what they did.

“When I saw something, I learned it,” Qaedi said.

After Qaedi’s first two years at the bakery, he asked Soulu if he could try baking alongside him. Soulu agreed after tasting some of Qaedi’s baked goods, and he has been baking ever since.

Qaedi said his love of baking soon turned into a dream of opening his own bakery, which is why his family applied for a visa to move to the United States.

a new language or juggling school and work keep him from his dream.”

Qaedi continued to work at Kawasaki until he had enough money for the necessary equipment and a rental space, which he said cost around $30,000.

He finally reached his goal on June 23, 2017 and opened Turkish Sweets Elit Pastanasi, a Middle Eastern bakery located in Lincoln at 317 N. 27th St. One of the reasons Qaedi was motivated to open the bakery was for his family and friends to enjoy traditional Middle Eastern pastries.

Because Lincoln has a number of Middle Eastern students living in the city and attending the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, he said there’s a high demand for his product.

Turkish Sweets Elit Pastanasi offers customers several types of cookies, cakes and 25 different types of baklava.

“[My family and I] chose the United States because it’s the best

Baklava is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert that dates back to the Ottoman Empire, and Qaedi makes his with 11 layers of ex-

tremely thin filo dough, pecans or green pistachios and honey syrup.

Once in Lincoln, Qaedi did not stop working. He enrolled in the English Language Learner program at Lincoln North Star High School and began working at Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing Company.

“It’s really hard to make, but not for me anymore,” Qaedi said.

Qaedi’s ELL instructor, Amy Ridge Mitchell, has taught him for about two years and said his favorite thing to discuss has always been his dream of opening a bakery.

Mitchell said Qaedi is one of the hardest working people she knows, and his determination is what allowed him to open a bakery just two years after moving to the United States.

“Many people talk about their dreams, but few have the drive to follow through,” Mitchell said. “He didn’t let moving to a new country, learning

Qaedi makes all of his baked goods fresh daily, beginning at 7 a.m. every day of the week. Although that might sound like an inconvenience to some, Qaedi doesn’t have a problem with the early start, because it’s work he enjoys.

Mitchell has been to the bakery twice so far and said she’s impressed with its selection of pastries, authenticity and low prices.

“He doesn’t take any shortcuts,” she said.

Qaedi said the overall goal for his bakery is for all people to acknowledge what he does and for them to appreciate his food.

“It’s my dream,” Qaedi said. “I love this job.”

RESTAURANT REVIEW

R

ays of Monday morning sun stream in the east-facing storefront windows of Turkish Sweets Elit Pastanasi as Safwan Qaedi straightens the case of baklava.

It’s a labor of love, the culmination of one man’s dreams coming true, and the love can be tasted in his pastries.

The 20-year-old baker opened Lincoln’s first Turkish bakery at 317 N. 27th St. this past June, specializing in baklava, cookies and cakes.

As an enormous fan of baklava and all things sweet, my excitement to try this new bakery was insurmountable.

I walked into the small, rectangular-shaped bakery and immediately broke into a grin at the sight of a case filled with different types of the flaky, sticky, nutty dessert.

The bakery currently offers a wide selection of cookies and baklava.

Cookie flavors include strawberry-filled, pecan, caramel and hazelnut, with plenty of other options available.

Some are dusted in powdered sugar, others are filled with various jams and jellies. Some look more like miniature cookie sandwiches, and others could be mistaken for little buttons instead of pastries. I sampled six cookies and one slice of baklava, all for only $4.

Turkish Sweets Elit Pastanasi prices its sweets a little differently than your traditional pastry shop. Instead of paying per pastry or by the dozen, everything is based on weight. Baklava is $12.50 per pound and $25 per kilogram (about 2.2 pounds). Cookies are $7 per pound and $15 per kilogram.

The baklava was simply scrumptious, with the crumbly layers of pastry perfectly complementing the sweetness of the honey between the layers. The crunch of pistachio sprinkled atop the dessert only made it better, making the baklava the standout.

18

AUGUST 2017

The cookies were good, but I wish I would have had a good cup of espresso or tea to enjoy them with. They were a little bit dry and not too sweet, but each cookie held more flavor than the last. My favorite was filled with a strawberry jam and reminded me of a little pasty — a folded pastry encasing a savoury filling, only this time it had jelly.

The interior of the bakery is rather simple with white tile flooring, beige walls and tables with gold chairs sprinkled throughout. If the owner added an espresso machine or began selling hot tea, I could see myself studying a day away in there — which you already can, since it is open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Qaedi assisted me at the counter and was very kind and patient as I took my time trying to select exactly which of the dozens of cookies I wanted to try. He seemed to be the only one working while I was there, and he hurried to the back to keep baking once he finished helping me.

Be careful looking up the bakery in a search engine.

Currently, Lincoln’s Turkish Sweets Elit Pastanasi is not on social media and does not have a website. When I searched for it, I was directed to the bakery with the same name in Turkey, where Qaedi worked before he moved to the United States.

His bakery has a lot of potential, and I hope it does well and adds coffee. This is definitely where I will go from now on for my baklava needs, seeing that the high quality came at such a low price.

Park in the back, get out of your pastry comfort zone and try a Turkish sweet. You can almost taste the love that Qaedi puts into his desserts and it’s not worth missing.

a sight for sore eyes WILL ROPER STAFF WRITER University of Nebraska-Lincoln students returning from summer break will have quite a stunning first day of class.

On Aug. 21, Lincoln, along with over 200 other communities within Nebraska, will be engulfed in the brief shadow of a total solar eclipse.

The upcoming solar eclipse is one for the history books in the United States, as according to NASA, this will the first time since 1918 a total eclipse stretches from coast to coast. Practically the entire country will experience some aspect of the eclipse, with the shadow of the moon crossing from west coast to east coast in a couple hours.

Lincoln, however, will be one of the largest communities in the United States to experience totality — where the moon fully blocks the sun. The 2,000-mile wide moon will begin masking the sun in the early afternoon, giving Lincoln a shadowy glow for roughly 1 minute and 24 seconds.

According to the United States Naval Observatory, there are three different types of solar eclipses which don’t completely cover the sun like a total eclipse. These are known as

22

AUGUST 2017

partial, where only a section of the moon covers the sun, annular, where the moon covers the sun but appears much smaller, and hybrid, where the moon shifts between an annular and partial eclipse. Within the United States, partial, annular and hybrid eclipses are visible to certain portions of the country every couple of years, shadowing sections of the sun but never completely enveloping it.

A total solar eclipse is much rarer, with the last appearance in the United States occurring Feb. 26, 1998. Even rarer still is the ultra-slim path of totality, which is the true shadow of the moon bearing down on a location on Earth some 240,000 miles away. The last occurrence of this path of totality crossing the United States was on Feb. 26, 1979.

Now, 19 years later, the path of totality will run straight through the heart of Nebraska. Towns including Scottsbluff, Alliance, North Platte, Grand Island and Beatrice are expected to see an unprecedented influx of people searching for the perfect view of what many eclipse chasers have dubbed the Great American Eclipse.

With tens of thousands of people traveling to get a glimpse

of the pure totality, Lincoln is determined to continue showcasing itself as a prime location, not just for the eclipse, but for touring and visiting year-round.

Tracie Simpson, services coordinator for the Lincoln Convention and Visitors Bureau, said Lincoln is expecting an enormous amount of visitors for the solar eclipse.

experienced the ultra-rare path of totality. A short period of totality found a northern sliver of the Cornhusker State on June 30, 1954, when small, rural towns including O’Neill and Atkinson witnessed the very beginning of totality in the United States.

Simpson and the Lincoln Convention and Visitors Bureau have been working with local hotels, restaurants and businesses to ensure owners and staff are fully prepared for the hectic Aug. 21 date.

The skyscape of rural Nebraska has attracted the attention of NASA for optimal solar eclipse viewing. NASA and The Planetary Society picked the Homestead National Monument of America near Beatrice to host a number of space and eclipse events and activities. Many events will include appearances from various NASA employees and presenters, as well as The Planetary Society’s CEO and famed TV scientist, Bill Nye.

“We have people coming not only from the United States, but I’ve gotten calls from people that are eclipse chasers from all over the world,” Simpson said. “There’s going to be people here from all over, so we get a neat chance to showcase Lincoln.”

The Homestead National Monument, located 50 miles south of Lincoln, pays homage to the Homestead Act of 1862, which gifted over 1.6 million settlers up to 160 free acres of land anywhere in the United States.

To ensure visitors get the full experience, the city has plenty of booked entertainment. Events planned for the eclipse weekend include the classic Ribfest, a highly anticipated Kendrick Lamar performance and a special eclipse Lincoln Saltdogs baseball game.

According to Susan Cook, DATE: Monday, Aug. 21 chief ranger at the HomeTOTALITY START TIME: 1:02 p.m. stead National Monument, TOTALITY DURATION: 00:01:24 the American frontier has shifted over the past century and a half. She said the park recognized a new frontier within the United States and has been incorporating it into their focus since 2000.

“We’re getting calls every day of people looking for rooms,” Simpson said.

Every event , Simpson said, will serve to highlight the unique features of Lincoln to a large number of visitors.

“There is going to be stuff for everyone to do,” Simpson said.

It has been 63 years since any part of Nebraska has

The duality of the old frontier with western America and the

new frontier of outer space, Cook said, is one of two main themes the park centered on for their solar eclipse events.

The second theme will focus on human interaction with the sky and stars.

People have used the dark sky to cultivate their lives for thousands of years. Homesteaders were no different, Cook said, and often used the sky to determine when a storm was approaching or when to harvest crops. When the weekend of the solar eclipse arrives, the park will celebrate this along with other instances of human-sky interactions with events that include the Mayan calendar, a Native American dance troupe and a speaker from Farmers Cooperative who will talk about how satellites are used in modern farming.

NASA employees will also be giving presentations from their respective fields, which include geology, planetary defense and the study of exoplanets. Some NASA members will also be using the park as a spot for observation and data collection.

“During totality, telescopes can see down the corona of the

sun farther than you can see any other time,” Cook said.

“It’s a perfect opportunity.”

Nye, who will appear at the Homestead National Monument the day of the eclipse, will be promoting science and awarding junior ranger eclipse badges to young scientists and explorers.

“It’s definitely going to be a huge weekend at the park,” Cook said.

After all the events come to an end and the moon finally covers the sun, Cook said things will become quiet and strange. The temperature drops 30 degrees, shadows become wavy and animals begin acting as though it were nightfall, she said.

“NASA and The Planetary Society all say this experience should be shared by families,” Cook said. “You should be with your loved ones when you are seeing this because it is an experience you will never forget. Personally, I’m anxious for the awe.”

To leave or not to leave BEN LARSEN ASSISTANT OPINION EDITOR I once had a co-worker during a summer job who told me my teenage years would be the best of my life.

Honestly, those who say that have either forgotten what it was like or were never teens themselves.

Being trapped somewhere between dependence and independence is far from a pleasant experience, especially against a backdrop of perpetual change. Although the entire world seemed to be shifting under my feet, I was certain of a single thing—I would never stay in Nebraska for long.

Just like the bulk of individuals mired in the angst of late adolescence, I yearned for and took solace in the idea of someday fleeing my hometown and the rubes in flyover country to pursue my ultimate destiny. When others in my graduating class wanted our senior song to be a lachrymose ballad written by the likes of Regina Spektor or Coldplay, I felt that Green Day’s “Good Riddance” was a more fitting tribute to an awkward and oftentimes painful stage of life. Any inquiry about my plans for college were met with the retort of “somewhere far from Nebraska.”

However, in spite of my obstinate desire to flee Cornhusker country, I wound up attending a school that was a mere 70 miles from home of Blair, Nebraska. In making this decision, I joined the vast majority of UNL students (68.6%) who decided to study within their native state, perhaps breaking promises altogether similar to mine.

Like The Beatles versus The Rolling Stones, “Star Wars” versus “Star Trek” or pineapple pizza versus having some semblance of a moral compass, going to college in-state or out-of-state is a perennial debate that’s bound to stir up a healthy dose of controversy. For me, The Beatles were a flash in the pan compared to the storied and lengthy career of Jagger, Richards & Co., “Star Wars” is more attuned to geopolitical reality than its overly idealistic counterpart and going to college in-state is notably less expensive than out-of-state, while still (surprisingly) being a meaningful and worthwhile experience.

While I was rifling through my avalanche of college mail and trying to find the perfect institution, there were a constellation of concerns I had. They ranged from my girlfriend, who was considering anywhere from Kansas to New York, to the green space on each campus.

Even the quality of water fountains was given ample consideration.

However, the foremost factor in my mind was cost. I longed for the full college experience, but also didn’t want to be chained to a debt well into my forties. For a student living on campus, the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities (my likeliest out-of-state choice) would have billed $37,834 annually, cost-attendance whereas UNL stood in stark contrast with a more affordable $24,434 for Nebraska residents. Coming from a working-class family, with another child who’d soon be making the same collegiate journey as me, the decision wasn’t a difficult one.

No matter where a prospective student is looking, the fact of the matter is public universities will always prioritize native recruits. As long as institutions like UNL maintain an element of taxpayer funding in their revenue formula, they will tip the scales in favor of the children of parents who live and work in the state. Appeals can be made to high-minded ideals of adventure and curiosity, but ultimately, such a monumental decision comes down to cold, hard cash.

Debt is a weight that can hang above one’s head for decades, detrimentally impacting the quality of life well beyond the fleeting time spent in college. For a great number of students, continuing to dwell near home just makes financial sense, freeing their money up for future investments in housing, a career and family post-university.

Despite remaining in the same geographic area, it would be folly to say that going to school in-state lacks its own advantages or doesn’t present much of the same opportunities as out-of-state. Being relatively near to family turned out to be a blessing, even though I thought it wouldn’t be. Since my early childhood, my grandfather had been in a cycle of poor health, and it was consoling leading up to and following his passing that I could be home within an hour and a half rather than having to book a flight and rush to the airport in a panicked frenzy.

The close proximity has also allowed me to stay involved in my family’s lives. Whether intentional or not, a great physical distance creates a gulf that can’t be bridged by phone calls and Skype chats. It’s a fact of college life that free time comes at a premium, and even a gesture as small as a text can be hard to muster some weeks.

Thumbing through my dog-eared copy of Sir Tolkien’s classic “The Hobbit,” I’m reminded that Bilbo returned to the Shire’s citizens auctioning off his possessions, figuring him for dead. Although it’s unlikely the parents of a college-aged kid will make such an assumption, returning home for more than just Thanksgiving and Christmas does mean fewer nights of them lying awake and wondering if their ultimate joy in life is alright. Plus, there’s nothing better than a home-cooked meal and free laundry.

For college, one needn’t travel all the way to Oz to experience another world. Campus life can still be as fulfilling in-state as it would be out-of-state. Disposition, not distance, is everything. If you have the determination to branch out, get involved, meet new people and ultimately find your calling in life, it doesn’t matter where you go. For me, Lincoln has felt like an entirely new world, even though I visited Nebraska’s capital a multitude of times prior to this novel episode.

The cliché used by every guidance counselor and adviser that what you put into college is what you get out of it rings true. Apply yourself, overcome the hardships as best you can and you’ll find that Lincoln could be just as far as Timbuktu.

OPINION

Crossing the border MATT SERVER SENIOR OPINION EDITOR There’s no place like home. Or so they say.

Sure, home has the distinct advantage of combining comfort and familiarity, but what it has in convenience, it often lacks in adventure.

After all, even Dorothy had to travel to the far-off land of Oz to truly appreciate the wonders of home.

There is no better example of the keen differences between traveling far and remaining near than the decision of college students to go to a school in-state or dare the unknowns of an out-of-state univer-

Of course, this can be painful, lonely and difficult. That’s the point.

Difficult situations foster growth; easy situations foster complacency.

sity. While they both have their distinct benefits, going to school out-of-state offers a greater opportunity for growth and pushes young adults to burgeon in what is likely the greatest adventure of their lives to this point.

This is why the out-of-state adventure isn’t simply for the contumacious teenager who yearns to break the bonds of childhood restrictions. Take Bilbo Baggins, hero of the “The Hobbit”, who was perfectly complacent and comfortable with his lazy lifestyle in his cozy home until Gandalf came and dragged him on an adventure.

Only when he was hundreds of miles from his home, in a plethora of dangerous situations, did he come to realize his full potential. How he reacted to the challenges he faced would determine his survival, but one option was not available—he could not return to his safe home and try again the next day.

Before continuing, the obligatory conditionals must be made. No, going to school far away from home isn’t for everyone. Yes, sometimes it’s not financially feasible. Yes, there are inconveniences, such as paying for laundry and being far away from loved ones, involved with attending an out-of-state school. None of that, however, negates the tangible benefits of leaving the friendly confines of your home state for college.

As a native Coloradan who traveled to the Good Life for college, I have experienced the good and the bad of being an out-of-state student. I came to UNL as a freshman three months into a relationship and with half of my heart tied to beautiful Colorado.

There were times in my first year when I wanted nothing more than to forget about classes and get on the midnight train to Denver and see my girlfriend and family again. But I didn’t. There were instances when I desperately scoured the admissions pages of Colorado universities to discover somewhere I could be closer to those I loved and, of course, the mountains. But I didn’t.

I stuck it out in Nebraska and am much better for it.

Going to school out-of-state is akin to jumping into the deep end of the swimming pool. You have two choices, sink or swim. You can let the waves of college stress overwhelm you or you can adapt to your new surroundings, embrace the adventure with alacrity and learn to thrive. There are some safeguards such as resident assistants and perhaps some relatives nearby, but ultimately you don’t have the luxury of going home every weekend or whenever you feel overwhelmed by the fresh challenges. You have no choice but to endure.

Through those challenges, however, you grow far more. College is a life-changing, brand new experience that can largely shape who you will be for the rest of your life. This is even more true when

28

you’re thrown into an entirely new environment in a state you have never lived. Much like learning a new language, the best way to fully experience college is to immerse yourself in it. Your mindset is simply different when you realize you’re on your own from orientation to Thanksgiving break than when you know in the back of your mind that you can go home and see all your high school friends in a month.

AUGUST 2017

Essentially, going to school out-of-state compels you to truly experience college. It presents a new culture to adapt to, and it removes the safety net of returning home to familiar trends, places and meals. In this atmosphere, students can find a place where they can improve and learn to thrive.

There are often financial roadblocks to attending school out-of-state, but scholarships and other avenues do exist. For instance, many schools offer substantial funding to out-of-state students that they don’t offer to in-state students. I, for one, am attending UNL at a lower cost than I would be at the University of Colorado or Colorado State University thanks to out-of-state merit scholarships. If you can make it work, it is worth it.

You can find adventure nearly anywhere, it’s true. But when you attend college out-of-state, you throw yourself headfirst into the greatest adventure of your life time.

Yes, there are a host of inconveniences attached to the journey. You will miss your friends, you will grow weary of dining hall food and you will undoubtedly wish you could spend at least one weekend in your own bed. Yet, in the words of G.K. Chesterton, an inconvenience is simply “an adventure wrongly considered.”

The out-of-state inconveniences are simply part of the greater college experience. When you have the immediate ability to satisfy struggles, you miss out on the experience as a whole.

Animal companions supporting students ALLY SARGUS STAFF WRITER For Riley Nichols, school shopping consisted of catnip, bedding and toy mice on the end of a string.

She swapped out dorm amenities, classroom supplies and new wardrobes for a less conventional back-to-school shopping list for Louie.

Louie, a 2-year-old shorthaired cat, has been a part of Nichols’ life since October 2015. He not only serves as a companion for cuddling, but also assists Nichols as a registered emotional support animal for her general and social anxiety.

Riley, a senior agricultural communication major, spent the majority of her childhood growing up on a farm, where she became accustomed to having pets by her side. The transition to college without an animal was difficult, so she requested an assistance animal through the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Services for Students with Disabilities office.

“Louie really helps me calm down when I’m feeling anxious,” Nichols said. “Animals don’t judge you or make you talk about what’s wrong. I think having an animal relaxes me when I’m stressed about classes or work.”

According to George “Sam” Goodin, director of SSD, the number of therapy animals on campus is unknown, as there is

no requirement for the animals to be properly registered. He said the SSD office works to accommodate the needs of all students, especially those who require an assistance animal.

“We have a practice where we will be assigning a student with an assistance animal to a residence hall and we will send out a notification to the roommates to ask if there might be allergies or other concerns,” Goodin said. “I have yet to get a response indicating that it is an issue.

Goodin, previous director of SSD at Southern Illinois University, was named director of UNL’s services for students with disabilities in early April 2017. With almost 40 years of experience in this work, he and the SSD office aim to provide equal access for all students to academic, social, cultural and recreational programs at UNL. “Requesting a therapy animal was rather easy,” Nichols said.

“The office was very helpful and made me feel comfortable the whole time. I don’t think I would change anything about the process.”

Rights,” Goodin said. “When the rest of us were writing up our policies, we wrote to Oregon State and asked if we could simply use their policy maybe with some modifications and

According to the policies regarding animals on campus, assistance animals like Louie are not considered service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act. However, through the Fair Housing Act, the university is responsible for accommodating students with assistance animals in University Housing.

With the request process being fairly easy, some may question if students abuse the assistance animal policy simply to have their pet on campus. For Nichols, some have even accused her of faking her anxiety.

In order to request an assistance animal, students must fill out a request form and submit it to the SSD office. The student must also have his or her medical provider complete a verification form and have it sent to the office as well. The office then determines if the requested accommodation is reasonable.

For Kenzi Larkin, a junior psychology major, registering her 3-year-old cat, Oliver, through the university was a priority.

Oliver assisted her with anxiety and depression while living at Latitude Apartments, an off-campus housing complex .

“I live alone and he makes it feel like I don’t,” Larkin said.

“He’s just always there, and petting him helps me relax and have time to think about what’s stressing me in order to find a solution.”

The animal policies at UNL are identical to other Big Ten Conference schools due to previous concerns on other campuses. At Oregon State University, the Office for Civil Rights conducted an investigation and found the university had been violating the civil rights legislation. The OCR advised Oregon State to write a policy that would not violate the law and had it reviewed, then approved.

“What we all know from experience there is that essentially Oregon State’s policy was approved by the Office for Civil

received permission to do so. “

“These are people that don’t know me personally, so they don’t understand,” Nichols said. “I think this is also related to some people thinking mental illnesses aren’t real or aren’t as real as physical illnesses.”

Larkin has also experienced negative feedback regarding her animal on campus, and in her opinion, it is specifically toward the fact it’s a cat.

“Most people think of service animals as dogs and multiple people have said he’s pointless and cats aren’t an acceptable form of service animal,” Larkin said. “I’ve also heard that emotional service animals don’t serve a purpose and that they’re just a way for people to own pets in places that otherwise wouldn’t allow them.”

According to Goodin, the amount of requests each year indicate students are using the university’s animal policy, whether that be to achieve academic and personal success.

“I get about 12 to 20 requests a year for somebody who wants to bring an animal into a residence hall,” Goodin said.

“We don’t necessarily know if students abuse the policy, but clearly people are using it.”

For Nichols, having Louie by her side throughout the school year made a positive impact in her both her social and academic life. The embrace of an animal was all it took for her to have an enjoyable college experience at UNL. “It’s not a hard process and it’s worth it. Don’t be afraid to ask for help,” Nichols said. “If having your pet with you in college helps you emotionally or mentally, don’t hesitate to start the process.”

WOMEN’S SOCCER The Nebraska women’s soccer team will play another rigorous schedule in 2017. This season, they face eight teams that qualified for the NCAA championship in 2016. While the schedule may be tough, the Husker soccer team should remain strong, especially at home. Barbara Hibner Soccer Stadium enters its third year since opening, and the Huskers’ home record for 2016 stood at 8-1-2. This year, Nebraska will host nine regular season games at Hibner Stadium. The Husker women’s soccer team finished 11-6-5 in the 2016 season.

The Huskers’ match against Penn State will be a big game to watch. Penn State qualified for the NCAA tournament last year and advanced to the second round before falling to Virginia. Similarly, the Huskers made it to the second round of the tournament last year. Penn State and the Huskers have played similar seasons and are fierce Big 10 rivals.

WOMEN’S GOLF Despite a talented women’s golf roster last season, the Huskers’ results left much improvement to be desired. Three newcomers will be joining the team this season, making up almost a third of the team’s roster. Nebraska will enter the season unranked in the NCAA, leaving a lot of room for the Husker women to climb in the ranks this year.

VOLLEYBALL The biggest challenge for Nebraska’s volleyball team this year will be proving to fans and opponents that it still has what it takes to be a competitive force among the Big Ten and other NCAA Division I teams. After four seniors graduated last season, including three All-Americans, the team underwent a further shakeup, with both assistant coaches being replaced in the offseason.

This season’s big game to watch will be at the Devaney Center on Friday, Sept. 29, when the Huskers take on Minnesota. The Gophers had almost as stellar of a season as Nebraska last year, finishing with a 29-5 record, while the Huskers finished the season 31-3. Both teams were knocked out in the semifinals of the 2016 NCAA Volleyball Tournament. Minnesota and NU are both consistently powerhouse teams, and the Sept. 29 match will undoubtedly be one of Nebraska’s most competitive matches in the 2017 season.

MEN’S GOLF The Nebraska men’s golf team enters its 16th season under head coach Bill Spangler this fall. The Husker men look forward to a lengthy season, kicking off in September and wrapping up in May, with a short break during the winter. Over the course of the season, they will play in 10 regular tournaments, with postseason play beginning in late April. The team is composed of seven players, with no seniors on the roster. They finished last season with three golfers named to the spring Academic All-Big Ten Team. With no tournaments in Lincoln, the team sees the days spent in Valentine, Nebraska, as a home-field advantage.
