Researcher examines race, health relationship Evan Marolf Daily Nebraskan

Dr. Bridget Goosby, an assistant professor of sociology, was recently awarded a grant to study how social influences affect human biology and health problems among people of different races or ethnicities.

The Mentored Research Scientist Development Award, also known as a K01 Award, from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development at the National Institutes of Health, is a fiveyear, $562,000 award that aims to help exceptional faculty develop as outstanding teacherscholars and independent researchers.

Goosby won the award for her research project, “The Intergenerational Transmission of Race Disparities in Health.”

“I have always been interested in how social inequality influences affect overall mental health in families,” Goosby said. “But I have become more interested in how economic and racial inequality gets under the skin and makes people sick especially for African Americans.

My own family has very high rates of chronic illness, which led to my personal interest in this area of study.”

The grant offers early scholars training and mentoring from senior scholars and promotes research in population studies.

Public colleges and universities can be doing more to help lowincome students afford a college education, according to a report by the Education Trust, an organization that advocates for lowincome students.

According to the report, only five colleges or universities met criteria based on affordability, access and quality: Baruch College, City University of New York; California State University, Fullerton; California State University, Long Beach; Queens College, City University of New York; and University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Mamie Lynch, a higher education research and policy analyst for Education Trust and one of the authors of the report, said she was surprised by the findings because the criteria used were pretty conservative.

Based on the criteria, lowincome students should pay no more than $4,600 in loans or out-of-pocket. This figure was proportional to what middle-income students pay, she said.

She said quality was based on graduation rate and that low-income students should have a one in two shot at graduating.

Accessibility was measured through the percentage of students who receive federally funded Pell Grants, Lynch said.

The report set that at 30 percent, she said.

Lynch said this report is important because of recent proposals to cut back Pell Grant programs or adjust eligibility requirements.

“We know these grants are essential for low-income students to attend college,” she said.

Lynch said studies have shown that people who earn a bachelor’s degree earn more money overall and going to college gives low-income students a chance to move up to the middle class.

“From an equality standpoint, all students should have an equal chance of going to college and achieving their dreams,” she said.

None of the colleges or universities in Nebraska made the list.

Craig Munier, director of scholarship and financial aid at UNL, said that the report does not reflect how well UNL helps low-income students.

“I think we are having success (in helping low-income students),” he said. “Could we do better? Sure.”

He said 25 percent of students at UNL received Pell Grants, a form of federal aid for needbased students that doesn’t need to be paid back.

However, according to the Education Trust, only 16 percent of UNL students receive Pell Grants. Low-income students also paid about $8,000, according to the Education Trust, almost twice as many as recommended by the criteria.

However, Lynch said low-income students at UNL had a 63 percent chance of graduating, higher than the criteria and the national average.

Pell Grants are given to a percentage of people who fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, something UNL

recommends to all students.

Munier said more students from UNL received grant money by filling out the FAFSA at this point in time than last year.

The state of Nebraska also offers programs like Collegebound Nebraska, which offers a tuition assistance program.

“Collegebound Nebraska is a simple way of expressing that we are committed to making college accessible to (lowincome students),” Munier said.

There are several reasons why only five colleges made the Education Trust’s list.

Lynch said federal money given to help low-income students afford college has decreased while tuition has increased at the state level.

She said universities could also disperse of grant money more wisely.

One of the challenges of helping low-income students afford a higher education is competing purposes, Munier said.

“We all want to keep college costs low,” he said. “We want to keep taxes low, but we want to keep the quality of higher education high.”

Money to keep the quality of education high at UNL comes in the form of state appropriations and tuition, Munier said, adding that the university tries to mitigate tuition increases for lowincome students.

“Whatever percentage in tuition is raised, we raise the budgeted amount for need-based grants,” Munier said. “For a Big Ten university, we are doing a pretty good job.” kimbuckley@ dailynebraskan.com

The Lincoln Journal Star honored 266 newly graduated seniors from Southeast Nebraska in its 17th annual Class Acts section, 122 of whom plan to attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln this fall.

“The university is honored and delighted to see more of the Lincoln Journal Star’s Class Acts choosing UNL than any other college or university,” said Alan Cerveny, associate vice chancellor and dean of admissions at UNL. Cerveny said while UNL attracts students from all 50 states as well as internationally, “the heart and soul of each year’s freshman class come from Lancaster County and across the state of Nebraska.”

Class Acts honors those students who are in the top 5 percent of seniors from the city of Lincoln and Lancaster County and the top two students from Southeast Nebraska schools. This year, 15 high schools from the city of Lincoln and Lancaster County, 49 high schools from Southeast Nebraska and two home school graduates were featured.

“I am going to UNL in the fall because I wanted to go to a university that is prestigious,” said Class Acts honoree Emma Morin from Pius X. “I have only heard wonderful things about UNL, the professors and classes there.”

Morin had considered going to an art school in New York or Chicago but decided to pursue a teaching degree at UNL instead.

“I have always loved art, but I decided my love for little kids and teaching was greater than my want to pursue the arts as a career,” she said.

Alana Tucker, another honoree from Pius X, originally planned to go to Loyola in Chicago, but when she received a Regents scholarship

Class Acts honorees who will attend UNL on a Regents, which covers a student’s tuition for four years. Many others have been accepted into the UNL Honors Program and the Jeffrey Raikes School of Computer Science and Business Administration.

The Journal Star invites schools around Nebraska to select their top students for the newspaper’s Class Acts section. Bill Eddy, Journal Star editor for Class Acts, said the section is meant to recognize the academic achievements of the honored students.

“We have no role in the selection of the students,” he said.

“The guidance director selects those who meet the Journal Star’s criteria,” Tucker said.

Morin explained that her guidance counselor determined the top 5 percent of her senior class based on ACT scores because more than 10 percent of her class graduated with a 4.0 gradepoint average.

“My goal was never specifically to be in Class Acts because I never knew the criteria for the honor until after I had been chosen,” Tucker said.

Morin mentioned she had heard about Class Acts from her older siblings who had also received the honor, but it was never a goal of hers to be recognized.

“UNL is committed to attracting top scholars from Nebraska and across the nation,” Cerveny said.

He explained that seven out of the last eight freshman classes at UNL have been the most academically talented in the history of the university. The increasing freshman class profile, he said, “is one of the factors that contributed to our acceptance into the Big Ten Conference.” bethanytrueblood@ dailynebraskan.com

Cather-Pound get by on quick fixes BETHANY TRUEBLOOD DAILY NEBRASKAN

UNL’s Cather-Pound residence halls are notoriously a little behind the times. It may not surprise some students, therefore, that the buildings have experienced issues with leaky windows in the past month due to heavy rain and wind. The problems don’t go unchecked, though, and the university is doing what it can to accommodate students’ needs.

“For whatever reasons, those windows have been more prone to leaking,” said Sue Gildersleeve, interim housing director. “We have, of course, worked with the student when that happens.”

To help students deal with an occasional leaky window, Gildersleeve said the university provides mattress pads and towels to sop up the water. If a student has a serious problem with the room, he or she may move into another room or building, she said. “We try to make sure that students are comfortable.”

Myriah Christian, a junior advertising and broadcasting major, has lived in Cather for the past two

years and currently lives there as a summer resident assistant. She heard about water getting into windows of several of the floors during a heavy storm about a month ago, but she has not had any issues. Facilities put duct tape around her windows to prevent water from seeping through.

Christian mentioned a couple minor complaints about the building, such as one-way heating and air and drafty windows. Despite Cather’s flaws, Christian said she appreciates the spacious closets and enjoys living there.

“Facilities keeps up with it enough so it’s livable,” she said.

“And they’re so nice.”

Brent Turner, a junior biochemistry pre-med major, is staying in Cather this summer and has a few more items to add to his list of complaints.

His first complaint is that the desks aren’t movable and his computer monitor won’t fit under the shelf above his desk. Due to the position of the unmovable desk near the window, he said it wouldn’t be good if rain came through the window. He also does not like the lack of drawer space

and the small size of the rooms.

“Of all the dorms I’ve seen, Cather-Pound is the worst,” said Turner, who previously lived in Neihardt and Abel. “I’d rather live any other place.”

Cather is the only traditional residence hall on city campus open to students for summer housing. Selleck is closed for window replacements and other fixes.

“The big problem in Selleck is the windows are quite big for the room and take a tremendous amount of energy,” said Glen Schumann, associate director for housing facilities operations.

He said Selleck has also had trouble with air and moisture.

Although Cather and Pound are also in need of new windows, he said Selleck is a hall the university plans to keep; Cather and Pound are not.

“We looked very seriously at renovating Cather-Pound,” he said. The price for repairing and updating the buildings, though, would cost more than half of the price to build new residence halls that will hopefully last 30-40 years.

Learn new language to fully grasp English RYAN DUGGAN Though other nations score better than us in math and science, are bilingual students also becoming better than us at understanding English grammar?

From kindergarten up to high school — and quite possibly well into college — most students whose first language is English have been studying it for the majority of their lives.

In the one language most of us have studied consistently, spoken incessantly and been immersed in mercilessly, shouldn’t we be experts?

Sadly, most students are not.

In fact, U.S. students are only ranked 17th globally in reading skills according to the 2009 International Student Assessment – an international test that compares reading, math and science skills of 15 year-olds worldwide.

What does reading have to do with our proficiency in English?

It serves as a positive correlation to our grammar, which is the root of our reading skills, the very crux of language, the backbone that gives sentences fluidity and meaning, and the one thing most people use without any recognition of what they are actually using.

Many Americans use the “if it sounds good, it must be right” policy when it comes to composition and grammar. This approach is a shallow, and often times erroneous, method of evaluating our language.

To better obtain an understanding of our own language, I believe that students should be taught a foreign language throughout their educational careers. The reason for this is because when learning another language, one is forced to understand grammatical functions in order to construct a proper sentence.

Conversely, many claim that text messaging and social media are the causes of the recent decline in grammatical comprehension. I say there is no immediate way to prove this, as it is occurring right now, and

looking into the past one can see that with the advent of many new technologies came the accusations of their degradation of grammatical proficiency. With both the television and radio, people were worried that reading newspapers and other forms of literature were going to be replaced with newscasts and movies, thus rendering literacy obsolete.

Scholars also trembled at the excessive use of images in comic books, claiming that such forms of literature were the cause of depreciating reading skills. The telephone was accused of making letter writing obsolete, which was thought to produce a major decline in writing skills.

With many new technologies and forms of media, people have always been afraid they were detrimental to our grasp on English. This means either we are progressively getting worse and worse at English as technology advances, or it means blaming new technologies for current problems is a reoccurring craze that has no proof. I think it is the latter and is merely a way of answering problems by attacking new targets. Soon enough people will wonder why we ever thought something as revolutionary as social media would be so bad for us.

However, what I do blame our lack of grammatical knowledge on is our one-tract educational approach of teaching only English grammar. As a student of Latin, I can say that I have already learned a substantial amount of English grammar in a class that taught another language. In fact, I would go so far as saying it has taught me more than any English class could offer.

The reason: Since we are native English speakers, we don’t necessarily need to know what a participle or a gerund is to use them correctly. To use the language, we don’t need to know how to identify adverbs, indirect objects or prepositional phrases, let alone differentiate

between verb tenses. Though we can manage without knowledge of these things, the lack of understanding is the source of our grammatical inefficiencies.

School systems do try to teach grammar, but the subject is one most students cringe at and try to get through as painlessly as possible. The courses cover a subject that all native speakers have already learned, save for the actual grammar, so it seems redundant and demeaning. For example, when learning about gerunds, students are taught that it is a verb used as a noun, usually with a “-ing” ending. Easy enough. But, after all this is obtained, a student won’t be required to identify one in order to use it in his native English tongue. It is soon forgotten and holds no precedence to said student. However, someone with English as a second language would have to know what a gerund is, otherwise they would be very confused seeing a verb being used as a noun.

This example holds true for all sorts of grammatical rules and guidelines. We don’t have to know what we are doing to communicate effectively. For instance, one could grunt and point to communicate messages effectively.

But don’t get carried away with this saying, “If we don’t necessarily need grammar to communicate, why learn it?”

The reason to learn proper grammar is to sound educated in the professional world, to understand languages and how they are used and to simply know our own language. Plus, no one wants to sound like an idiot by misusing grammar.

When learning another language, recognizing different verb tenses suddenly becomes crucial in being able to use a second language because nothing just “sounds right,” and words have to be meticulously constructed and placed in the

Cather-Pound, he said, are basic structure and the windows. The reason Harper-Schramm-Smith and Abel-Sandoz were renovated before Cather-Pound, he said, is that those residence halls had bigger problems, such as water pipes bursting.

While some students will still live in Cather and Pound for probably the next two years, Schumann said they will work with students as they can.

“We will let students know ahead of time of problems when they move in,” he said, adding that they will let students know they can call facilities for help.

In the meantime, Cather residents will have to hope that there won’t be too many more heavy rainstorms this summer.

“When the rain doesn’t come too hard, we’re in good shape.

When it’s really windy then we’ll have problems,” he said.

The Board of Regents will hold a meeting on June 17 to discuss plans to replace Cather-Pound with new residence halls.

DN applauds Phase I plans

Last Wednesday, University of Nebraska leaders held a press conference to reveal plans to build and renovate four buildings as part Innovation Campus. Together, these construction plans are estimated to cost $80 million, which will come from the state, UNL and the developer, Woodbury Corp., according to a Lincoln Journal Star article. These plans indicate the inception of the Phase I for construction of the research campus.

Innovation Campus will be a huge asset to not only the university, but the state of Nebraska as a whole. As such, the Daily Nebraskan would like to commend University of Nebraska officials for initiating the process and getting the wheels turning to make these plans a reality.

According to the Journal Star article, Innovation Campus will be a public-private sustainable research campus that will utilize research growth and UNL faculty expertise to strengthen the economic potential of Nebraska and the university. Consultants hired by the university in 2009 estimated Innovation Campus would bring $267 million of annual new payroll to the local and state economies.

In a time of such economic hardship, Innovation Campus would bring jobs to Nebraska, technology-focused companies to the state, as well as research opportunities for UNL faculty and students. Furthermore, the research campus will help Nebraska remain competitive as it enters the Big Ten conference, where it currently sits at the bottom of most academic comparisons.

We look forward to the potential opportunities for learning and economic growth Innovation Campus may bring and support the university as it enters the first stage of development for the campus.

U.S. must raise debt ceiling now

I

wish Congress would live by the illustrious “M*A*S*H” character Charles Winchester’s mantra: “I do one thing at a time, I do it very well, and then I move on.”

On Aug. 2, the government will reach its debt ceiling, meaning at that point, the government can’t borrow more money and will probably begin to default on its loans.

This could have a wide-ranging economic impact not only in the U.S., but around the world.

Currently, the debt limit is $14.3 trillion.

This limit has increased several times since the early 1900s when it was first introduced.

Ideally, the government would have realized back then that this could easily spiral out of control — as it has. But it didn’t.

A recently published Gallup poll found 47 percent of Americans are opposed to raising the debt ceiling, while only 19 percent support it. This is understandable, since we’re over $14 trillion in the hole. But when you think about what could happen if the government doesn’t raise the debt ceiling, it doesn’t make sense.

Obviously, many people believe not raising the debt limit wouldn’t be a big issue. But unfortunately, there’s really no choice in this matter. We can’t just stop paying people we owe money to, and we can’t stop spending money altogether.

An April New York Times article

EVAN MAROLF included a letter written to Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner by Matthew Zames, the chairman of the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee.

In the letter, Zames predicted what will happen if the debt ceiling isn’t raised. “Any delay in making an interest or principal payment by Treasury… could trigger another catastrophic financial crisis,” he wrote.

Zames also lists several likely consequences of not raising the debt ceiling — including “a run on money market fund,” which he believes could send us back to a crisis like the one in 2008. The Democratic leadership in Congress, as well as Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner, agree with Zames that failing to raise the debt limit would likely have significant consequences. So you would think they would want to just raise it as soon as possible, right?

But as usual, our anti-getting-anything-done Congress has complicated the issue so it won’t possibly be resolved in the near future.

House Republicans are demanding significant budget cuts before they will vote in favor of raising the debt ceiling. Boehner is currently calling for more than $2 trillion in cuts. He wants to make sure that the savings outweigh the rise in the debt limit. However, Boehner isn’t clear on what cuts he wants to make or over what time frame he wants to make them.

To be clear, it’s not like Democrats are saying they’re going to prevent any and all proposed budget cuts. If that were the case, I would understand why Republicans are trying to prevent raising the debt ceiling until something is done about the debt problem.

Instead, John Boehner and Co. are once again just trying to bully President Barack Obama and the Democrats into giving them what they want. It’s another display of force by preventing something from getting done.

By the way, Congress just took a week off.

I’m sure they needed it, since they’ve all been working so hard at not getting anything done.

Realistically, it’s unlikely that the debt ceiling won’t be raised. But at the same time, it’s beginning to look quite possible that this will come down to the last weeks

Human tragedy continues to unfold in Gaza

n December 2008 and January 2009 — Operation Cast Lead — Israeli forces bombed Gaza in retaliation for Hamas attacks on targets in Israel. Hamas, the democratically elected government of the Gaza Strip, is a terrorist group whose main goal is to wipe Israel off of the map.

Israel, understandably, has no interest in working with such a group. Say what you will about the motives of the war: Right or wrong, it’s history. But this does not change the facts on the ground.

In Cast Lead, 1400 Gazans and 13 Israelis died.

In Cast Lead, 98 percent of all industry in Gaza — including ice cream and biscuit factories — was destroyed.

After Cast Lead, domestic violence in Gaza doubled.

There is no question that the blockade — now somewhat lessened by the opening of the Rafah border crossing — has led to a complete deterioration of the living standards of Gazans. It is wrong, it is inhumane and it needs to end.

For now, let’s focus on the lives of Gazans, of whom there are 1.6 million in 139 square miles. That’s twice the size of Washington, D.C. Earlier this week, I attended a presentation with the executive director of American Near East Refugee Aid. ANERA does great work assisting in keeping

people alive in Gaza, but as I said above, this work is putting a Band-Aid on a gaping wound—spending $65 million a year in refugee aid is unsustainable.

Let’s throw some hard numbers out: Gazan household size is about eight people, unemployment is at 40 percent, income averages just over $1,000 a year and the median age is 17.5 years old.

Taking these in turn, we can extrapolate some pretty frightening conditions.

First, household size is huge (compared to American society today). Part of this is because Islam discourages contraception (not unlike the Catholic Church).

Part of it also a lack of any social safety net. In Gaza, your children are your safety net, providing you live long enough to need it.

In America, we complain about 9 percent unemployment, but Gazans can’t get jobs because jobs don’t exist.

Remember, 98 percent of all industry in Gaza was destroyed in 2008 and 2009.

Imagine the incentive then for children to go to school, even for the limited four hours of schooling they get as part of public services, like health care and trash collection, provided by Hamas.

And speaking of the children, Cast Lead had such enormous psychosocial effects on them that ANERA had to discontinue its psychological services after one year, simply because there

ZACH SMITH were no trained psychologists available and services were too expensive and too small to meet the demand. Children don’t know who’s firing a gun, a Hamas fighter or Israeli soldier. All they know is gunfire.

As a result, after Cast Lead, an epidemic of bedwetting struck Gaza.

Don’t laugh — families actually went to hospitals to get medicine so their houses wouldn’t smell like urine all the time.

Fights at schools were so widespread that classrooms had to close. And once the kids got home from school, they beat up their mothers, who were then beat up by their husbands. In short, family life has disintegrated.

And sadly, these children are becoming the majority of the population, with the median age so low. When public opinion pollsters survey Gazans, specifically ones in the West Bank, children

have two responses to the question “What do you want to do with your life?”

Response one: I want to leave Gaza.

Response two: I want to die.

There is a complete lack of hope and ambition. It is primarily the fault of the occupation. Yes, I know, Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005. But they left without really leaving; Gaza is under permanent blockade. Fishermen can go no more than 2 miles from the shore without being shot at. Gazans cannot approach the cement wall, dotted with machine gun nests, even to farm food — and 28 percent of all arable land in Gaza is along that wall.

ANERA, to its credit, is keeping Gazans alive. They build single-family greenhouses and mentor Gazans in farming. They rebuild preschools, provide milk and enriched biscuits for preschoolers (leading to a 50 percent drop in anemia), lay water pipes and even sponsor telemedicine programs from Johns Hopkins University to train doctors in continuing education.

Their efforts have not, however, led to a significant increase in positive impressions of the United States. This is possibly because American bombs were used to bomb houses and factories in Gaza.

Yet at the same time, when a new school is built or a project is completed with

U.S. dollars a sign goes up with our flag, which only serves to confuse Gazans, who don’t understand our foreign policy.

This column is not meant to be an attack on Israel or its people. Israel has security concerns in Gaza, and the killing of civilians by Hamas — not to mention the repressive, authoritarian nature of its governance — is reprehensible. But worse than all of this are the lives of ordinary Gazans who, according to private opinion polling, only have 28 percent approval of Hamas.

The speaker from ANERA closed his presentation to the group — each person must have felt as I did: like I was about to cry from the horror I had just heard about — by noting the complete and utter collapse of societal fabric due to the blockade. In essence, society is de-developing.

Americans must do something. Our tax dollars fund the occupation, and there is nothing we can realistically do about that. But we ought to try to mitigate the harm by supporting groups like ANERA, groups that serve legitimate interests without working to support terrorism. The lives of people, the dignity of human beings, are at stake.

PHONE Abrams flick draws inspiration from Spielberg’s vision

of friends spending all of their energy making zombie and monster movies.

Through this creative naivety, we get the direction given as that of the ever-widening eyes of a child. So, of course, as things grow more and more ominous from the fallout of a train crash the children are privy to, the scope of the film becomes much larger, much more daunting.

Abrams uses this device so wonderfully that you forget your own time and place. Because what it becomes isn’t really the monster movie that we all think it is (although that is the main gimmick of the town’s issue and the blanket of the story itself). It’s about growing up.

We get sweet, innocent moments within this bundle of kids and life itself becomes more important than the military takeover that’s destroying the town or the giant alien fuzzily lumbering through frame.

We are asked to punctually reflect on how we all lose our innocence at some point. We all find our objectives further out of our reach than we intend; problems that challenge us in bizarre ways. But the only way we end up becoming our adult selves is sacrifice and taking bold steps. Childhood actions and the actions of the children in this film put a mirror to that. They are the embodiment of what we were, or what we wish we would have been.

Where would we ever hope to go if we don’t evolve? Eyes enlarge and the world becomes a bit brighter, more open and a bit darker and more sadistic. The metaphor of children encountering a situation bigger than themselves is greatly used by Abrams and his writers to remind us of the time in our youth when everything changed. For him, it seems, it was when he saw the movies of Steven Spielberg.

The archetypes for child actors are noticeably limited in most mainstream movies. They are either

dead-eyed youngsters or caricatures of bratty cortices that exist entirely within themselves, observing nothing about the outside world unless someone holds their hand.

I don’t know where they found them or from how far apart they came, but the young actors in “Super 8” interact with and speculate on the world as we all used to: by bickering and fighting through honest means of trying to understand.

The only down side of it is that it’s all blatantly borrowed. The “Goonies” dynamic is tried-andtrue, and with Spielberg’s blessing (and executive producer credit on the film) it just seems all the more understandable. But it’s also been done. These children aren’t cynical, or even bad (they’re quite wonderful actors, actually). It’s just that roadmaps are already set in place for them.

The Spielberg touch is all over this. And why would an apology be necessary for such a statement? I certainly understand the love letter aspect of it. Spielberg is certainly a director that deserves outside admiration and homage from time to time. But he’s directly involved with this…which makes it kind of self-serving. The elements of the film, while pilfered from time-to time, work. They work wonderfully and joyously. Something doesn’t quite feel right, though.

By the time we learn the monster’s purpose, we simultaneously learn about the finishing move of some of the most easily recognizable directors. It’s both sad and happy. Ambiguous and perfectly clear. This is a classic (perhaps cheesy) practice that sends us out into the world to ponder. It comes with a little less meaning though, as we’ve experienced this same movie time and time again.

he law of the conservation of energy tells us that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

It can only be transferred from one state to another. It remains constant over time, and moves from one place to another by way of immediate influence of object to object. A strange jumping off point, I admit, but Steven Spielberg, as an entity in and of himself, fits this description quite effectively.

He remains one of the most prolific, practiced and influential figures in not just Hollywood, but popular culture as a whole. He is the energy of the business in a way.

Lofty praise, I know (I’ll get off my knees in a moment), but think about it. His early work, and even his continued work remain fixtures in almost every film released in the past 20 years. However, this is not a Spielberg film. And with “Super 8” I don’t think there has ever been a more perfect, obeisant example.

Director J.J. Abrams has never tried to be Spielberg…at least not in a noticeable sense…I don’t think.

But “Super 8” belongs just as much to the guy who created “Jaws” and “Jurassic Park” as it does the man who created “Lost” and the recent “Star Trek” reboot. With so little divergence, it’s almost like when the moon passes over the sun in a solar eclipse. It may be the moon out in front, but the sun still radiates behind it, still creating the real influence over the Earth.

Abrams, through his own creative initiative, brings back a lot of enthusiasm from the earlier days of modern cinema that seem to have been watered down over time. He takes the audience back to 1979 Ohio (the perfect, picturesque setting for nostalgia), and into the company of a small group

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

RACHEL STAATS DAILY NEBRASKAN

TOM HELBERG French filmmaker Sylvain Chomet directs “The Triplets of Belleville” (2003), a richly detailed film that fulfills the potential of big screen animation.

The story starts with a flashback to a music hall with black and white animation so bouncy it could have been animated by Max Fleischer of Betty Boop fame.

Here we meet the Triplets of Belleville in their prime, a close harmony music group. Cutting to the main characters, there is a markedly more detailed illustration style for the rest of the film.

A sad young sack boy, Champion, is raised by his grandmother, Madame Souza, in the French countryside. A gift of a tricycle to cheer the lad leads to his lifelong goal of winning the Tour de France. Madame Souza trains her grandson with a whistle when he is an adult as he bikes constantly.

After years of never-ending training, Champion enters the competition.

When Champion and a few other competitors are mysteriously kidnapped by a pair of shady crooks, Madame Souza and her fat dog Bruno set out to rescue him.

The pair follow the trail across the ocean to Belleville, a metropolis mashup of New York, Paris and Montreal that houses the French mafia.

Madame Souza and Bruno find allies in the aging Belleville Triplets. Now, the women are a whacky jazz band creating music from common household items.

Madame Souza joins their group, and they all ultimately set out to rescue Champion from the clutches of the mafia.

Chomet’s illustration style pays homage to a wide range of influences, including animation pioneer Winsor McCay, political cartoonist Gerald Scarfe and a host of others. Unreal dream sequences that take advantage of animation’s ability to morph objects into one another feel like the work of Bill Plympton. But the images are so rich and original, Chomet’s vision is wholly its own. The film feels like it came from a singular artist, though the film was produced by numerous animators.

The traditional, hand-drawn animation is wondrous to look at, so

COURTESY IMAGE

full of detail that the film demands a second viewing just to catch images you may have missed.

Chomet also seamlessly disguises CGI into the mix for more technical animation, like characters peddling bicycles.

Like Chomet’s most recent film, “The Illusionist” (2010), “Belleville” is nearly dialogue free. Inconsequential exchanges take place, though not much is missed with no subtitles. This is a universal visual experience, one with no need for translation.

The rescue-based plot works its way to an action-oriented climax, though I was expecting a more emotional payoff. The lingering melancholia behind Champion and Madame Souza’s eyes had me prepared for heartbreak, though

the film never reaches those levels.

“The Illusionist” reached higher emotionally, though it too went a little soft.

The film was nominated for two Academy Awards in 2004, for best animated feature and best original song, but unfortunately lost both.

With the impressive canon Chomet is slowly building from film to film, I think the auteur may well take home the gold one day.

“Belleville’s” tone is mature, but not only for adults, and the animation is absolutely exquisite.

The surreal, visual delights to be found in “Belleville” are well worth the trip.

spheres. This all makes it a great read for someone who only has a couple minutes here and there, as often happens in the summer.

White’s tone is very conversational. She makes it feel like she could be sitting next to you, just having a chat. It’s almost like she’s answering unheard questions and you are hearing only her side of the conversation. “If You Ask Me” becomes even more personal when Betty reveals that she wrote it by longhand and doesn’t even own a computer.

Since it’s her sixth book, I think she assumes her reader has some indication of her life and what she has done so far, so she doesn’t dwell on her background information or her earlier life. Most of the focus of the book is just White imparting some of the wisdom she has gained and telling funny anecdotes about her recent life.

Many of her chapters were about self-revelations she has had, and her book serves to explain what she thinks is the best way to live. This book is all about learning about yourself and accepting the things you learn.

Betty White is thought of by many as the sweetest person in America, but “If You Ask Me” shows just how down-to-earth and humble she really is. Acting may be her career, but writing is her passion, and it really shows.

DAILY NEBRASKAN

“Meek’s Cutoff ” is an atmospheric western written by Jonathan Raymond and directed by Kelly Reichardt. Set in 1845, the film follows a group of settlers traveling across the unforgiving Oregon Trail during its earliest days.

The caravan of three families makes a risky move when they hire a mysterious mountain man named Stephen Meek to guide them on a shortcut through the Cascade Mountains. Tensions rise among members of the convoy when the water begins to run low and Meek’s self-assured directions seem to be leading them astray. One of the travellers, Emily Tetherow, becomes especially suspicious of Meek’s motivations and believes that the rogue roughneck may not be all that he seems. Desperation sets in as the pioneers continue onward, pushing their physical and psychological boundaries as they are forced to endure the hostilities of the environment around them and the people among them.

“Meek’s Cutoff ” makes a strong effort to set itself apart from the long-standing staples of the western genre. Through employing an unsettling level of stark realism, the filmmakers have fashioned a cinematic experience that captures the miserably monotonous reality that the earliest Americans faced while pursuing the unknown frontier. “Meek’s Cutoff ” swaps out sheriff’s stars and shoot-outs for the somber sound of squeaky wagon wheels and seething social tension, pro-

This week, I really wanted to read a biography, and seeing that Betty White had just released her sixth book, I simply couldn’t pass it up.

Who doesn’t love Betty?

Whether you want to know about if she really got hit by a football player in her commercial for Snickers, her work with animals or what she wanted to be when she was little, you’ll find your answers in her new book, “If You Ask Me: (And of Course You Won’t).”

At 89, White is still going strong in her acting career, but she admits in this book that her favorite thing is writing. Made up of a mix of anecdotes, photos and snippets of advice from White (and from White’s mother), this book is excellent for anyone who wants to catch a glimpse of what her life is like and what kinds of issues she deals with on a day-today basis.

She hides very little about her life. Not only does she tell her fans about her hopes, dreams and the times she’s messed up, but she also tells her readers secrets you would never guess, including her fear of red carpet events (she claims she would rather have a root canal), how she deals with stage fright and her secret love of stuffed animals (not so secret anymore, Betty!).

The arrangement of the book was different than almost anything I’ve read before. It was organized into eight main topics, including Hollywood Stories, Stagecraft and Animal Kingdom, with many chapters in each section that were only a few pages long. Almost half of the book was comprised of photos, both from her private collection and public

refuses to sacrifice its attitude of authenticity for the sake of viewers’ expectations.

Michelle Williams turns out a solid performance as the film’s central protagonist, Emily Tetherow.

Her understated portrayal of the strong-willed woman fits wonderfully within Reichardt’s brutally realistic world. Emily’s backbone makes her braver and more admirable than the men around her, with an unwavering moral compass revealing her to be the only one with a true sense of direction among the lost travellers. Though the headstrong Emily is undoubtedly the character viewers will most connect with, it is Bruce Greenwood’s performance as Stephen Meek that steals the show.

Greenwood’s go as Meek makes the mountain man almost instantaneously repugnant, yet incredibly intriguing, as he periodically provides glimpses of his true nature.

The film’s visual style mimics the stagnant destitution of the voyagers’ seemingly endless journey.

Incessant wide-eyed static shots

manage to capture the duality of the desiccated desert, acting as both an exquisitely barren backdrop of scenic beauty and an unending expanse of lifeless limbo that imprisons the characters.

Due to its uncompromising minimalist approach, “Meek’s Cutoff ” is forced to forgo an eventful narrative, instead aiming its intentions on expressing the excruciating struggle of uncertainty that America’s earliest settlers faced. Much like the pioneers it follows, the film is stripped down to the bare essentials, not wasting an ounce of energy to force the story forward at any rate faster than a horse pulled wagon.

Though this unhurried and deeply contemplative film may not appeal to everyone, its palpably tense tone, absorbing insight into the lives of the earliest Americans and unorthodox direction makes it a memorably distinct western.
