LETTER TO THE EDITOR ››EDITOR’S NOTE: The following letter to the editor is in response to Nick Castner’s column on leaving small town Nebraska. ››

Like Nick Castner, I too grew up in a small town. York, Nebraska, is that town with the weird water tower that is painted like a hot air balloon.

Most people view it as the last town they will see before getting to Lincoln for Husker Football Saturdays, or the first stop of a long trip to Colorado.

The population of York has dropped from 8067 in 2000 to 7766 in 2010, a loss of 301 people. People don’t want to live in a rural community. But those people don’t know the benefits of living in a small town. I knew everyone in my graduating class, all 100 of them. I had relationships with people 1, 2,3, 4 years older than me. I knew the kids 1,2,3,4 years younger than me.

During my high school years, I talked with classmates about the desire to leave and never come back. I left for college in 2010 and only came back for extended breaks. I saw no value in returning to a town that had little to offer me.

Upon graduating in May 2015, I moved to the metropolis of Indianapolis.

Indianapolis is 100 times larger than York with a population of 858,325. I had an unlimited number of activities at my disposal, ranging from food and beer festivals, professional sports teams, college teams, concerts everywhere, comedy clubs and the list goes on.

Why would I want to live in a place where the only source of entertainment is the bowling alley or the movie theater?

The answer is both simple and complex. This town is a community. It is a place where I can walk down the local grocery store aisle and say hello to three or more people. I can attend those Friday Night Light football games in the fall. Or attend those winter basketball games. I can go into the town jewelry store and talk to my best friend’s dad. I can hire a friend from high

school to build the house that my future family will move into. It is a place where I can give back because everyone knows my kind-hearted intentions. In a city, a stranger is nobody. In a community, there are no strangers, only friends you haven’t met yet.

I am a product of my small town. This community taught me to give back, not because I have to but because it is the right thing to do. Countless volunteers helped me through my youth. Whether it was Mr. Davis and my youth football team, or Mrs. Suddarth and my 4-H group, or Mr. Barrett and my trap shooting team or Mr. Reed and my bowling team.

Without these volunteers, the youth in this community would have no way to be active or involved in anything.

In the next few weeks, I will be moving back to my small town. I have found a career at the local town bank. While the career is great, it’s the opportunity to give back to my community that most excites me. I want to help with the youth football league because I care about helping youth find their passion. I want to work with the 4-H group because it taught me so many valuable life lessons. I want to help with the high school bowling team because I am passionate about the sport and its continued success.

So while Nick Castner believes his community has no more to offer him, I believe that I have so much more to offer mine. I aspire to set the standard of young professionals moving to rural communities because they have so much knowledge to offer to those communities. And if you ever find yourself driving by York, know that there are people in this community doing everything possible to keep it out of the gutter.

Sincerely, Derek Dauel

4 ARTS Porchfest makes its way to Lincoln THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2016 DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Music festival organizers hope to create a stronger feeling of community in Near South through music ANNIE ALBIN DN Founded in Ithica, New York, Porchfest is a festival where all acts perform on the front porches of houses. Porchfest LNK aims to be this community-centered festival in the heart of the Near South neighborhood. The festival will be August 7, on Goodhue Avenue between 13th and 16th streets.

Listeners can walk around the neighborhood and hear some of the various acts, while also connecting with members of their community they haven’t met before.

Maya Khasin, Porchfest organizer, thought Lincoln deserved its own Porchfest, specifically the Near South.

“It’s a wonderful neighborhood, and I feel

like sometimes it gets unfairly maligned,” Khasin said. “I love my neighbors; I love my neighborhood. It’s just such a beautiful place, and I wanna just have fun with people in it.”

Jenn Duerr and Andira Losh are helping Khasin.

Losh is one of the founders of Common Root, a non-profit community organization that promotes arts, education and free culture.

Losh said she saw Porchfest as a good way for the community to connect and offered Common Root’s support.

“We want to support this happening,” Losh said. “Events like this, this sort of free culture all over Lincoln.”

Common Root will help Porchfest grow by contributing networking and funding, along with its community of volunteers.

Common Root will also be accepting and handling donations for Porchfest.

Duerr and Khasin met through a jug band they play in. Duerr has a background in organizing festivals.

Duerr said the main goal of the festival is to bring diverse groups together.

“I think the beautiful thing about the project is that this particular street that we’re

The Haymarket Theatre’s circus-themed production of The Rocky Horror Show will open this week. The show will emphasize body and sexuality positivity.

From posters for the university’s choir department to a Bernie Sanders taco, Cooper has a diverse and impressive portfolio. However, it didn’t start off that way.

She took the journalism school’s graphic and web design class her freshman year, a widely-taken 100 level course in the college.

Cooper struggled in the class early on.

“When I first started that class, I was the worst ever at graphic design, and I was gonna change my major because I knew that I wanted to be creative,” Cooper said. “I thought that I was doomed because I sucked the first week.”

Cooper pushed through and began improving in the class. During this time, her passion for design began to grow. It all culminated in a late-semester poster project when the professor could barely find fault in Cooper ’s finished work.

The UNL Rodeo club will participate in their 58th annual rodeo this weekend. The club has grown from 20 students to over 60 and is consistently growing.

Kick off your boots with UNL’s rodeo club The DN sits down with 2 members to talk upcoming 58th annual UNL rodeo, growing membership.

JACOB ELLIOTT DN The UNL Rodeo club is gearing up for a huge rodeo this weekend. The Daily Nebraskan decided to talk with Zoe Francis, the club’s public relations chair, and Dan Kent, the club’s vice president, to find out more about the event and the club.

Daily Nebraskan: Can you tell me a bit about the history of UNL Rodeo?

Zoe Francis: This is our 58th annual UNL been a close knit, small club that’s never been a fully recognized university sport. It was a rodeo, so we’ve been around for quite a club activity, where kids pay to get into the while.

A big part about it is that we’re an agriculture based club, and we allow an avenue to be involved in something that might not be in their area.

We have public relations chairs, a promotions committee. There’s a whole kind of inner working within the club itself, which brings kids in and gives them different jobs which they might not have thought would be in an agriculture based environment.

STORY BY STEPHANIE CAVAZOS | PHOTOS BY EMILY MCMINN DN

We’re back with another edition of our student laptop stickers. This week, we found five women hanging out in the Learning Commons.

“I’ve always been obsessed with Shia LaBeouf. Basically ever since that video of ‘Running For Your Life From Shia Labeouf’ came out I’ve loved him. I just saw this (sticker) and thought it was really inspirational.”

Maddie Nebel, freshman psychology major

“Uh, this is me and my ex-boyfriend. I can’t take it off because it’s under (the circle sticker), and I don’t want to mess that up. I know, it’s super awkward.”

“There’s a lot of family members and people that I know that have been affected my mental illness. It’s not something that people are aware of – the fact that the brain can be sick too. So I just feel like it’s something that I need to represent.”

Beza Bekele, freshman pre-health major

JoAnna Ferris, sophomore business administration major

“I’m from Chicago. I got the Lollapalooza sticker two years ago when I went. They give away so much free stuff.”

PORCHFEST: FROM 4 South neighborhood. The event will be from 2-7 p.m.

Khasin said her ideal Porchfest would be people walking around the neighborhood, enjoying the atmosphere and bands playing, while occasionally stopping at food trucks.

“Just people having a good time, enjoying the community,” Khasin said.

Duerr said Porchfest could help grow relationships between different communities and cultures. She said it has a powerful grassroots reality where people can be brought together.

“The idea of creating that foot traffic and creating a potential interface with people who may be wouldn’t interface before, like

having different cultural events but starting those potential relationships,” Duerr said.

“Community and neighborhood for me are huge, huge issues behind building and supporting diverse community realities.”

Losh said the festival will help music be more accessible for the community.

“Local musicians meet in the community,

just being there with the music and it being the time of day where people and their families and anyone can walk by and appreciate it,” Losh said. “It’s a very open, accessible way to meet and have art in the community.”

cause audience participation is encouraged.

At showings of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” audiences have been known to attend in costume, shout additional lines and throw things at the screen. While the cast and crew of this production have requested nothing be thrown at the actors, dressing up and saying the lines is encouraged.

“This show will be great for people who

have grown up watching the movie and people who have never seen it before,” Dillehay said. “It’s a new take on a classic that I hope everyone can relate to. Just not children. Mature audiences only, please.”

“The Rocky Horror Show” will run at the Haymarket Theatre, 803 Q St., on April 14, 15, 16, 21, 22 and 23 at 8 p.m., at 2 p.m. on April 17 and at midnight on April 15 and 23.

Tickets are $12 for students and seniors, $15 for adults and $15 for anyone at the midnight showings. They can be purchased online or by calling the Haymarket Theatre box office at 402-477-2600.

“I kind of like the idea of being tagged just to one company to be really loyal to and be super passionate about,” Cooper said.

However, if life takes Cooper down a different path, she said she wouldn’t be upset.

“I probably would just kind of go where the wind takes me. I’m not one to be set on a plan,” she said.

Wherever she ends up after college, Cooper said she’ll be happy, and it will work out in the end. She knows her skills learned through design will help her succeed in both the workplace and life.

“So much communication is done without speaking,” she said, “and I think design is a big part of that.”

The event begins April 15 at 1 p.m. with the slack contenders, although the actual performance will begin at 7 p.m. There will be an after party at the Single Barrel with live music from Randy Rogers band.

As a Resident Advisor, she walked by the Lied Center with one of her residents. She confused the nearby news trucks as taco trucks, and that was the spark that lit the flame.

Democrats uncomfortable with ‘superdelegates’ ELLIE BRUCKNER

While the party prides itself on fighting for the underrepresented, superdelegates hinder this.

T

he Democratic party brags about being the vessel of progress and the voice for the underrepresented.

However, only the Democratic party has a system of electing its nominees that argues otherwise.

The election process is supposed to be about who we, the people, want to represent our nation, home and abroad, for the next four years.

Republicans have the right idea on their primary election process. Yet Democrats are playing a whole different ballgame. The concept of a superdelegates – or politicians, party elites and elected officials who have a special, heavier vote – is perhaps one of the least democratic and representative things a party can do.

During the 2016 Democratic primaries, superdelegates make up 15 percent of the delegates. The superdelegate concept was a catalyst for the 2008 nomination that led to an Obama presidency. Eight years later, superdelegates could easily determine a Bernie Sanders or Hill-

ary Clinton nomination. Superdelegates are a complex and frustrating aspect of the primary process.

One of the benefits of being a superdelegate is that they have the right to support whomever they choose, regardless of how the state that they represent voted. Many voters, especially Sanders supporters, are frustrated with this process. An example of this comes from New Hampshire. New Hampshire’s primary resulted in a clear Sanders victory, yet the superdelegates that represent the state have all pledged to vote for Clinton. Across the nation, including Nebraska, the same problem exists.

The whole idea of superdelegates seems incredibly undemocratic. The people who receive superdelegate privilege, such as governors and Congressional members, are supposed to represent the people of their state. The fact many of these representatives do not reflect the popular vote makes many, including myself, feel like this election is rigged toward those candidates who cater to the party elites. Many Democrats fear that these superdelegates have the opportunity to swing an election.

Another major problem with the superdelegate process that angers voters is the weight of the superdelegate vote. One of the popular, democratic doctrines of U.S. politics is “one person, one vote.” The Democratic National Committee and other members of the party receive one vote that is just as valuable as thousands of votes from the people.

A regular delegate is earned in each state’s primary. Nebraska has 25 delegates to distribute, and well over 30,000 people voted March 5.

However, 25 DNC members have just as much power as those 30,000+ Nebraskans. Although everyone technically gets one vote, I feel like my vote hardly has any power, while superdelegates can make or break an election.

Along with this, their vote is not permanent.

Pledged delegates earned during primaries are nominated at the caucus site to represent the opinion of those at that caucus, and tend to honor the opinion voiced at the site. Candidates

Political distrust can translate to relationships WILLY MORRIS

I

f Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have one thing in common, it’s their perceived honesty. People believe that both of these men will “tell it like it is.”

Their honesty feels refreshing, which is getting reflected in their poll numbers and contest wins. There seems to be a bit of a populist streak in both parties, where

There is no trust/distrust dichotomy with your closest of friends, is there?

‘Miitomo’ app has potential to strengthen friendships

N

intendo’s new app, “Miitomo,” isn’t the end of society as we know it. It doesn’t mean we’ll stop having faceto-face conversations with friends. We won’t become fused with our computers, phones and other technology, never to see a live human again.

In fact, “Miitomo” is a chance to deepen relationships with people, not ruin them.

If you haven’t heard of it yet, “Miitomo” is a phone app, which had 1.6 million downloads from late March to early April. It’s a sort of crossroads between social media and video games. Users begin their new addiction by creating a Mii, a cute avatar they can dress up with clothes (or dinosaur suits, if that’s how they roll) bought with coins. And the best way to get coins is to interact with friends.

Your Mii prompts you to answer questions, some more personal than others. In one moment, my Mii asked me what I had for dinner last night. The next, it was asking me what I look for in a life partner. Your friends can see what you write, but it’s completely up to you if you want to answer or not. I like to think of it more as friend trivia, rather than social media, though the social aspect is certainly present with the comment feature.

A lot of us are busy with school, work and maybe significant others. Those distractions make it harder to have deep relationships with multiple friends. Perhaps it’s my fault I can’t nurture multiple friendships, but “Miitomo” isn’t the cause of that. If anything, it’s a cure. The app isn’t the end of human contact, but an encouragement to participate in it.

It can be tempting to dismiss “Miitomo” as the next shallow form of social media, an equivalent to liking someone’s Instagram of the Pad Thai he or she ordered, #delicious.

But it’s not. In the couple of days that I’ve used the application, I’ve learned things about my friends I may not have learned otherwise.

Social media as a lot of us think of it – the filtered pictures of landscapes and the candid photos of friends at Greek events – focuses on the “what’s up” of individuals. Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram encourage

COURTESY PHOTO users to be current, living in the moment as they share what is happening to them right now.

While the right now can be interesting and important, such as friends’ new jobs

and their study abroad experiences, it’s limiting. Facebook and company leave a lot to be desired in the way of learning about our friends’ goals, fears and pasts. Not that that’s wrong, of course. Not everything needs to be

a kumbaya moment. But those learning moments are what “Miitomo” can do best.

HORN: SEE PAGE 13

There’s nothing wrong with an adult liking a kid movie

“

LELAND CHOW

Oh, I don’t like kids’ movies.”

That was what one of my good friends said to me when I said I liked “Zootopia.” At first, I was shocked by her generalization that “Zootopia” is an animated film for kids. I asked why she does not like them. Her reply, “Kids’ movies are childish,” did not surprise me at all, as like her, some people perceive animated children’s films to be quite childish and uninteresting to watch.

Contrary to some people’s belief on animated children’s films, they are not entirely childish, nor are they uninteresting. I agree they are targeted toward a younger audience, so the storyline may be a little less complicated. However, children and adults alike can equally enjoy some of these movies. There are some “kids’ movies” that address real-life issues, as well.

Addressing real-life issues is important, as kids should be educated in simple matters such as emotional control to more serious matters such as racism. These “kids’ movies” allow such education to take place without using elevated language that the younger audience may not understand.

Besides addressing real-life issues, there are also some “kids’ movies” that feature references only adolescents and adults will understand.

This is not only a way for directors to make parents sit down with their kids and watch the movies, but also to ensure that parents will enjoy the films as well.

As mentioned recently in a Daily Nebraskan opinion article, “Zootopia” teaches social justice lessons by challenging stereotypes and racism.

I am impressed the directors incorporated such complicated and long-lasting issues into a film

that kids can understand. I am quite certain that parents who watched the movie with their kids can agree with me on this, and as a legal adult, I enjoyed the film as much as the kids did.

Another film, “Inside Out,” allows younger children to understand feelings using five basic emotions: joy, sadness, anger, disgust and fear.

Mental illness was also hinted at in the film: the main character, Riley, experienced a constant feeling of depression caused by the emotional chaos in her brain. Though younger audiences may not pick up the subtle references at first, adolescents and adults can understand better and would enjoy the film as well. When these younger children grow up and re-watch the film, they will be able to pick up the references they did not previously understand.

DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

MORRIS: FROM 11 ing of who we are than what we project to the world. You wouldn’t even have to go through someone’s texts and personal messages to get a taste of who they are. You could discover people’s personalities by the apps on their phones or the accounts they follow on Twitter, and so on.

It would be nerve-racking, and frankly scary, to unmask someone via his or her phone use. Phones and the like are an almost bottomless rabbit hole of secretive information that we hold as close to our hearts as anything. So deeply personal they are to us that Apple rejected a court order to unlock the phone of a known terrorist who was already dead.

So what does this say about us? To me, it shows just how individualistic we are. When swaths of people backed Apple in their bout with the FBI, it showed just how much we value “me” and our own things. Many people, along with the largest company on the planet, cared more about protecting the computer in their pocket than fighting terrorism.

The justification, of course, is fear of governmental overreach. A deeply rooted, unmistakable fear that our government will violate our trust, and start digging into our lives via that computer in our pocket, all without our permission. The fear of government is so palpable, our teachers tell us about it along with how the United States was founded.

It’s evident in many parts of the Constitution. That we are

supposed to walk around, always at least slightly skeptical of government, is ingrained in us from a young age.

So now we’re back where we started. Societal distrust, specifically with those at the top running the show, seems to be feeding our individualistic, at times pessimistic, outlook on our culture. Are the Bernie Sanders, pro-big government warriors of the world fighting a war that can’t be won? Most (all?) sane people don’t trust Donald Trump to take the reins of our government. Hillary Clinton has deep levels of distrust from the American people as well. And Ted Cruz despises the government so much that he led the effort to shut it down in 2013.

So do we now have to wait at least another four years before more than 50% of our nation can trust the person in charge? How much worse will the trust levels get in the next four years? This whole trust thing looks a bit cyclical to me, and if we cannot mitigate its damage soon our country and world will only become more divided, not less. Trust is a communal project, something that I believe we all better start working on soon.

WILLY MORRIS IS A JUNIOR POLITICAL SCIENCE MAJOR. REACH HIM AT OPINION@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM OR @DNOPINION.

HORN: FROM 12 Aside from the occasional political rant and that one person who always has to post his or her drama, Facebook is generally a positive area where people share their happy experiences with a large group of online friends. Facebook’s status bar asks users, “What’s on your mind?” but it doesn’t usually seem like an invitation to share things about myself.

“Miitomo” feels more intimate, maybe because of the nature of some of the questions. On Facebook, I wouldn’t go out of my way to talk about my fears as a child, but on “Miitomo,” it feels natural and welcomed.

It became clear to me that “Miitomo” was a learning experience after a video game character came out to me. Or rather, it was an avatar, a digital representation of a real friend. In any case, that’s not exactly something that happens every day. The question, “If you could give your childhood self some advice, what would it be?” prompted my friend to share his answer. I didn’t comment on it, but I accepted it as a new thing to learn about my friend. Moments such as this can also be an indicator for users that maybe it’s been too long – maybe it’s time to hang out again.

I will admit that sometimes “Miitomo” is about sharing

the mundane, but that’s OK every once and awhile. I like hearing from my friends about their “latest eco-conscious habits” and what kind of outfits they think they’d never be able to pull off. In everyday conversation, these topics aren’t exactly commonplace.

“Miitomo” is a conversation starter in this way. This aspect becomes especially important with friends who go to other colleges. Chances are, I won’t see them until the summer. If “Miitomo” is the only way to keep up with their recent interests in disco, then I’m OK with that.

“Miitomo” could be an opportunity to make new friends as well. If you add acquaintances, you can learn about them a little through the app. Of course, it’s no replacement to meeting up with them face to face, but it’s a jumping-off point. If used correctly, “Miitomo” offers many opportunities to build up friendships.

ALEXA HORN IS A SOPHOMORE JOURNALISM AND ADVERTISING MAJOR. REACH HER AT OPINION@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM OR VIA @DNOPINION.

CHOW: FROM 12 At first glance, “How to Train Your Dragon” may not seem interesting to adults, just like “Zootopia” and “Inside Out.” However, the adventures of Hiccup and Toothless proved to be exciting for both children and adults. “How to Train Your Dragon” teaches acceptance and bravery using the relationship between humans and dragons. For children, both the feel-good and action scenes are interesting enough to watch.

For adolescents and adults, it’s the depth of the film that is appealing. “How to Train Your Dragon” had many meaningful scenes that both excited me and touched my heart many times, even when I re-watched the film a few years after it was released.

Of course, it is wrong to say that all animated children’s films are equally enjoyed by kids and adults. For example, “Shaun the Sheep Movie” may be interesting for young children, but for adolescents and adults it’s a bore because of

its lack of morally ambiguous characters and its predictable plot line. However, just because films are labeled as animated children’s films does not mean they’re only suitable for children. Adults can equally enjoy animated films that are intended for children, and sometimes they can learn a few things, too.
