To determine the identity of the face, one only needs to listen to the music the artist was dancing to: Adele.

The University Program Council (UPC) hosted “David Garibaldi’s Rhythm and Hue” Wednesday night to a crowd of clapping and cheering fans in the Centennial Room of the Nebraska Union.

Garibaldi is a performance painter who combines music and painting in hopes of creating a show. He said that Denny Dent, a rock and roll painter, inspired his style.

“I want to make the process of painting entertaining to an audience,” Garibaldi said.

Last year, Garibaldi’s talent act “David Garibaldi and his CMYK’s,” finished fourth place on the seventh season of “America’s Got Talent.”

IANR plans 36 new hires by 2014 ASUN increases Staff Report DN The University of Nebraska-Lincoln recently announced plans to hire three-dozen new agriculture-related faculty members by 2014.

Ronnie Green, vice chancellor for UNL’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, said the move shows the university’s investment in helping solve future world problems like more efficient food production, improved water supplies and natural resources management. The world’s population is expected to grow by about 2 billion people by 2050, which Green said will contribute to these problems.

“We are absolutely convinced that as a university it’s time to double down in our investment in these areas around food, fuel and water,” he said in a university press release.

“All of the needs out there indicate that we need to expand our efforts to meet the challenges that are ahead.”

The hiring of 36 new tenure and tenure-track faculty members, which will increase the current agriculturerelated faculty by 12 percent, comes after a decade of budget cuts and stagnant hiring for the university.

Positions will be available in a number of subject fields including science literacy, stress biology, computational sciences, healthy humans

Another category of jobs labeled “core positions” is also listed on the website, referring to long-standing programs that still have open positions.

Specific positions to be filled include plant biotic stress biologist, animal functional genomicist, food and nutrition professor specializing

in lipid metabolism and health and a food allergy risk assessment specialist, according to the IANR website. “(The positions) cover a fairly wide range of areas across the institute addressing contemporary agricultural and natural resource issues,” Green said. “We really have honed our focus to where we think it will make the biggest impact.”

Several IANR job listings have

already been posted, and many of the new hires will be made by the beginning of the 2013-2014 academic year.

The increase in faculty comes after UNL’s College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources has seen steady enrollment increases for the past eight years. This year, CASNR had a 3.7 percent enrollment increase to 2,009 undergraduate students, according to university data.

The hiring initiative also coincides with UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman’s goal to significantly increase faculty and student enrollment at the university by 2017.

Green and Ron Yoder, associate vice chancellor at IANR, could not be reached for comment about how much it will cost the university to employ the faculty members, but the Omaha World-Herald reported the salaries for the new positions will range from $2.5 million to $5 million total, depending on experience levels. The World-Herald also reported that additional tuition revenue, research dollars and private contributions will help pay for the additional faculty.

“It’s a bold statement that we’re making,” Green said. “Some would say it’s risky to be taking on this much at once, but I’d say it’s a calculated, strategic move that’s going to pay off big in the long run.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

UPC funding Conor Dunn DN

The Association of Students of the University of Nebraska debated a series of student fee allocations at a Wednesday meeting that lasted five hours – the longest senate meeting duration in recorded history, according to ASUN President Eric Kamler, a senior agricultural economics major.

The Senate addressed student fee allocations for five organizations, including: the Lied Center for Performing Arts, the Dailyer Nebraskan, the Daily Nebraskan, University Program Council and ASUN. UPC was the only organization for which ASUN increased student fee funding. The senate voted 14-11 to approve UPC’s budget request of $250,734 – nearly $50,000 more than its 2012-2013 allocation.

Sen. Eddie Hanline, a senior business administration major, said he was against increasing student fee funding for one event. The funding increase from last year’s budget would help UPC fund a larger Homecoming concert on East Campus in the fall. Hanline also said he was uncomfortable with students paying more money for an event that not all of them will attend.

But saying that not all students will attend the concert is a poor argument, according to Sen. Mike Dunn, a senior communication studies major.

“Not everyone reads the Daily Nebraskan. Not everyone uses the Rec.” Dunn said. “What fund does everyone use?”

Student life is a large recruitment factor for why students choose to go to certain universities, Dunn said.

And Sen. Alli Morton, junior psychology major, agreed.

“College is more than just academics,” she said.

ASUN also voted down two amendments to increase funding for the DN. The first amendment was to allocate $140,329 of the DN’s budget request of $158,974. But it failed. Senators then proposed to allocate $132,800, but that amendment also failed.

DN editor-in-chief Andrew Dickinson, a senior journalism major, stressed that the DN needs ASUN’s assistance with student fees to keep the newspaper from failing in the future due to decreasing revenue.

Many senators said the DN is an independent newspaper and thus needs to complete its goals of transitioning to the digital age on its own.

asun: from 1 They suggested the DN take money from its contingency funds instead of asking for more student fee funding.

Other senators argued that the DN needs to use its own funds, but ASUN also needs to give the DN more funding in order to keep it from sinking in the future.

“This transition doesn’t happen instantaneously,” said Sen. Matan Gill, a senior construction management major.

Senators also said the DN needs to back away from its print edition and move to the web. However, Dickinson said a large source of the DN’s revenue comes from its print advertisements and so both the print and digital editions are necessary.

ASUN voted 25 for and one against to allocate $121,500 to the DN. ASUN voted unanimously to allocate $140,000 to the Lied Center for the 2013-2014 academic year. The Lied Center made an $180,000 budget request to help it fund a new program called The Big Red Lied Experience.

The event would host two shows in the first few weeks of the fall semester and would aim to increase student attendance in arts performances.

“Their goal is to give every student one experience at the Lied Center,” said Sen. Micah Wullschleger, a senior anthropology and English major.

“You’ll never go to a Broadway show for 87 cents in your life.”

However, ASUN’s Committee for Fees Allocation said it didn’t believe the Lied would be able to inspire student attendance for the event and thus increasing student fees for the Lied wouldn’t prove beneficial. The majority of the senate agreed with CFA. ASUN also voted to allocate The Dailyer’s budget request of $6,400 for 2013-2014. Wullschleger attempted to table the appropriation bill until next week because The Dailyer did not have any representation at the meeting to answer senators’ questions. The senate voted against Wullschleger’s amendment and passed the bill with 23 senators for, one against and two abstaining.

The only budget decrease ASUN addressed tonight was its own. ASUN requested that CFA allocate the student government organization $476,495, which is an 11 percent decrease from its 2012-2013 allocation. The senate voted unanimously to approve the allocation.

Chancellor Harvey Perlman also attended the ASUN meeting. He outlined some key points of the university’s proposed contract with Bryan Health to privatize the University Health Center. He also said there will be a public forum to discuss the contract on Feb. 26. news@ dailynebraskan.com

Lis Arneson Dn Students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln can now ride campus buses with a bit more ease. On Feb. 14, Lightweight Coder Inc., released the StarTran Bus Tracker app for Android devices.

The app traces bus locations in real time using StarTran GPS receivers.

Gordon Smith, founder of Lightweight Coder Inc., said he got the idea for the app while talking with a friend.

“I actually was asked by a professor at UNL,” said Smith, of Lincoln. “He made a comment that it’d be really nice. I figured, why not?”

Smith said that every few seconds, the StarTran GPS receivers send information – like how fast a bus is traveling and where it is

located – back to StarTran, which then takes that data and puts it on its website. The StrarTran Bus Tracker uses the live data from StarTran and lays it out on Google maps, Smith said.

App features include: a live view of StarTran Bus GPS locations and direction of travel, bus stop locations, a bus route listing with map overlays, arrival time predictions and GPS-based user location.

In addition to the UNL campus, the StarTran Bus Tracker covers most of Lincoln, downtown and the Southeast Community College campus.

The app is free and includes in-app advertisements. An upgrade is available that disables advertisements, Smith said.

The next step is getting the word out about the app, Smith said.

“I’ve been trying to spread it

by word-of-mouth,” he said. “I hope people find it useful. I have just over 100 people that have found it.”

Sara Hutcheson, a sophomore biological systems engineering major, said she rides the StarTran buses at least three times a week every semester. She hadn’t heard of the Android app yet.

“I feel like it will be more useful for those who don’t use the bus every day — for those that do, we have (the schedule) down to a T,” she said.

Hutcheson, an Android user, plans to download and use the app in the future.

Smith said the iPhone/ iPad friendly version of the app should be finished within the week. After that, it will be sent to Apple for approval and available for download by March.

Putting a passcode on an iPhone may not provide the security you think it does.

Nowadays, it’s easy for people to break into others’ personal information. The Google search “ways to hack into an iPhone” turns up millions of results. On Feb. 14, an article from the Huffington Post mentioned a YouTube video detailing a new hacking method for iOS 6.1, the latest operating system. The video explains how to bypass the lock screen, access photos and contacts and make calls – all in less than a minute.

For some, the risk of having their iPhones hacked doesn’t lead to fear.

Ben Noodell, a freshman psychology major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said he isn’t worried about anyone getting into his iPhone by bypassing the lock screen.

“The code sounds: a) very confusing and b) there’s not really much on my phone that’s that important or incriminating that I would have to worry about it,” Noodell said. “Most of my friends know my code anyway.”

Noodell said his passcode is not for security purposes.

“For me, it’s mostly like force of habit,” he said.

He said if his phone were taken, he’s confident the passcode would prevent most people from getting into it.

Noodell said if he were worried about someone getting into his phone, he would be more careful about keeping his phone on him.

For example, he said if he went to a party, he would keep his phone in his pocket so no one could take it.

He said it might be harder for girls to keep their phone on them of because they don’t always have pockets. Partially because of this, Noodell said he thinks girls seem more concerned about their phones’

whereabouts.

“Girls tend to be more attached to their phone and be more critical when somebody touches their phone,” Noodell said.

But some people have reason to be attached to their phones.

Olivia Wilson, a freshman biology major, said she’s concerned with a potential flaw in the Apple update because she has personal information on her phone.

“I’m more worried about all of my information getting out,” she said.

Though the hacking method in the video only allows access to contacts and photos, Wilson said she would be worried about people eventually finding out other things such as her banking information.

Hanna Barnett, a freshman education major, said she already takes precautions to keep her iPhone from being stolen or hacked.

“I carry my phone with me all the time,” she said. “I don’t leave it anywhere.”

Barnett also said she makes sure she doesn’t have valuable information or passwords on her phone.

Because she does these things, Barnett said she wouldn’t be that concerned with someone breaking into her phone. If someone were to do so, she said it wouldn’t be a big deal.

“I don’t have any pictures on my phone that I would be embarrassed by if they got out, and all my contacts are just my friends,” she said.

But preventing hacking on a smartphone requires much more than keeping it with you at all times.

An online eHow article explained ways to prevent iPhone hacking. The article said that iPhones are computers, so more precautions should be taken. To avoid Internet hackers, the article said to turn off Wi-Fi when not using it and to update the phone often.

“Apple takes user security very seriously,” an Apple spokesperson said in the Huffington Post article.

“We are aware of this issue and will deliver a fix in a future software update.”

But Wilson said people shouldn’t think everything will be okay after Apple fixes this problem.

“Apple may fix it for now, but people are always coming up with stuff to break into things,” she said. news@ dailynebraskan.com

State museum promotes land-grant mission kelli rollin dn Ten years ago, Priscilla Grew wasn’t sure if the University of Nebraska State Museum would make it.

Today, those in the know call it “Black Monday.” It was a time when major funding cuts to the museum threatened its existence, but the institution stayed afloat.

Grew, museum director, spoke of the museum’s changes, struggles and importance to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s land-grant mission at the second Olson Seminar of the semester Wednesday afternoon.

The seminar, titled “Engaging Lifelong Learners in Natural History: The Land-Grant Mission of the University of Nebraska State Museum” took place in the Great Plains Art Museum at 3:30 p.m. and drew an audience of about 15.

The land-grant mission promotes research, teaching and service to the public through university resources.

“I think when people think about the museum, they think about Archie the Mammoth out front or they may think about children coming to the museum,” said Grew, who is also a professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at UNL. “Most people who go to a land-grant talk don’t expect to hear from a museum.”

She said most people connect the land-grant mission with the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources because it conducts many outreaches and education opportunities. But she said people shouldn’t count out the museum when it comes to the landgrant mission.

As the 10th anniversary of

“Black Monday” approaches, Grew reflected on the museum’s struggles.

“We’ve really had to do a lot of restructuring and changing since then, and we’ve had extremely devoted museum employees who have worked really hard to maintain the museum after the big budget cuts,” she said.

Grew said universities and museums are always vulnerable to budget cuts. Though the land-grant mission’s merging of three goals benefits the university, it can also leave funding spread thin.

But the museum is beneficial to the university and community, Grew said.

“Our mission is to really try to convey the latest understanding of excitement and researching knowledge about the natural world and about world cultures through our

anthropology department,” she said.

Grew said one of the museum’s main goals is to create an interest in the natural world among all ages.

She said the museum is doing so by holding outreach events like “Sunday with a Scientist,” which allows families to be involved in educational and research activities.

More than 800 people attended the Feb. 17 “Sunday with a Scientist: Eight-legged Encounters,” to learn about spiders.

The museum also offers encounter kits, which people can rent and take home to teach their kids about various topics.

Rick Edwards, the director of the Center for Great Plains Studies, said the museum’s outreach to young people is what resonated most with him from Grew’s talk.

“We have a huge problem in this

country of convincing young people that science is important,” he said.

“The best way to do that is through hands-on experiences, and that’s what the museum does really well.”

Edwards said the museum’s programs have been very effective because they allow kids to actually do things instead of just reading about them.

“Instead of talking to them, let them hold things, dissect things, make things and so on,” he said.

“It’s much more likely to be effective.”

Edwards said science affects all public policies and ways of thinking about life, which is why teaching all ages is important.

Ending the seminar, Grew had a call to action for the audience.

“Enjoy and support your landgrant museum.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

Study: Dogs may understand human perspective REECE RISTAU DN The communicative relationships between Snoopy and Charlie Brown or Scooby-Doo and Shaggy may not be as farfetched as they seem.

A new study published in the Animal Cognition journal said dogs are more likely to steal food in the dark when humans cannot notice them, according to a Nature World News article. The findings indicate dogs understand human perspective, the study said. Juliane Kaminski of the University of Portsmouth in England conducted the study.

The behavior of dogs demonstrates that they can change their actions based on their observa-

tions of human behavior. Dogs take into account what humans think and feel and what they can and cannot see, the study said.

Researchers conducted tests on dogs using various levels of light. In each test, a human forbade each dog to eat food from a table. In complete darkness, dogs quickly ate more food than when the light was on.

But the study’s findings didn’t convince Laura Hardin, coordinator of the Iowa State University and University of Nebraska-Lincoln Professional Program in Veterinary Medicine and an assistant professor of practice of veterinary and biomedical sciences.

“The basic underlying fact is that dogs work at a behavioral level,” Hardin said. “They can’t think beyond behavioral reward or punishment.”

This is the first analysis published of

lauren cloyed | dn

how dogs distinguish between levels of light when strategizing how to best steal food. The study used 42 male and 42 female dogs older than 1 year.

It is not known how well dogs see in the dark, the study said, but the findings show that dogs can differentiate between dark and light.

“It’s hard to definitively prove if dogs understand what humans are thinking,” said Stephanie Jesseau, a lecturer of psychology at UNL. Jesseau said it’s hard to discount dogs’ previous learned responses in studies like this one.

The study said it’s humans – not the dogs themselves – who attri-

bute emotions and human qualities like cleverness and sensitivity to dogs.

The researchers concluded that the dogs tested are deciding it is safer to steal the food in the dark than in the light. Previous studies in this field have indicated that dogs consider human’s eyes as an important signal in deciding how to behave. The report states that many steps were taken to rule out variables that dogs were simply following associative rules.

Ally Scolaro, a senior elementary education major, said her golden retriever Dallas definitely understands her.

“I think dogs understand happy and sad and when to leave you alone,” Scolaro said.

Annual Founder’s Day Celebration honors 2 faculty members Co-workers nominate Dodie Eveleth, Amy Lanham for service to UNL students staff report DN The University Association for Administrative Development honored two faculty members for their contributions to the university at its annual Founder ’s Day Celebration Wednesday afternoon.

About 60 people came to the Nebraska East Union for the awards ceremony and buffet.

The ceremony gave out two awards: the Carl A. Donaldson Award for Excellence in Management and the Floyd S. Oldt Award for Exceptional Service and Dedication.

Carl A. Donaldson created the University Association for Administrative Development in 1961, and his award has been given out yearly to staff and faculty since 1972. Recipient Dodie Eveleth is the business manager for the Department of Chemistry

and building manager of Hamilton Hall.

“Dodie is a huge cheerleader for the department of chemistry staff, including student workers,” read a letter of nomination for Eveleth. “She makes sure they are thanked and recognized for their hard work on a regular basis.

Dodie is also aware of the little things that make staff members feel important, such as birthdays and upcoming personal events.”

The Floyd S. Oldt award was formed in 1992 as a gift from Floyd Oldt, a UNL alumnus and philanthropist who made many

contributions to organizations.

Recipient Amy Lanham is the senior assistant director of the Campus Recreation Center. Lanham said it felt great to win the award and that it was a particular honor to be nominated by her coworkers.

“Amy has a passion and a willingness to serve the students

of UNL as well as her fellow faculty and staff members,” read one of Lanham’s nomination letters.

“She has done so by developing a very well-respected and extensive youth activity program at Campus Rec.” Keynote speaker Ellen Weissinger, senior vice chancellor for Academic Affairs at the Univer-

sity of Nebraska-Lincoln, kicked off the event.

In her speech, Weissinger highlighted three goals the university should meet to become a better institution: Get more students, ensure that they graduate on a reasonable timeline and hire excellent staff.

“Let’s make sure we hire the kind of faculty whose work solves enormous problems or adds greater views or makes the world safer or more beautiful,” Weissinger said. “Let’s hire people who do really important work.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

garibaldi: from 1 late February.

UPC members were excited to host the event.

“Our students think that it is great to have an event like this that no one’s probably seen before,” said Steph Meyer, a graduate assistant for UPC. “(Garibaldi’s) so young too. He’s someone I think the students will enjoy and relate to.”

Judging from the reactions, Meyer was right.

“I thought it was amazing,” said Shannon Feagin, a freshman elementary education major. “It was way better than I expected.

I’ve seen him before (on TV), but seeing him live was a whole new experience. I’d definitely see him again.”

Senior communication studies major Kacey Christiansen was impressed by Garibaldi’s speed.

“It was pretty cool to see how he could do that in less than five minutes,” Christiansen said.

Garibaldi said that he draws inspiration from famous figures — anyone from religious leaders to pop culture icons to world leaders.

He painted four portraits during the show: Jay-Z, Adele, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Albert Einstein. The UPC will keep the paintings and will possibly later donate them to the art department, Meyer said.

“People like Jay-Z (inspire me),” Garibaldi said. “He has transcended the culture he came from, which was … poverty.

(People like) Martin Luther King, Jr. were figures that represented a movement of many people.”

Garibaldi said he taught himself to paint when he was 20, after dabbling in graffiti when he was younger. He began performing live painting in jazz clubs.

“I was at my last resort too, because I had nothing to lose,” Garibaldi said. “I had nothing at the time.”

ing people that have never seen something like this before,” Garibaldi said. “I also love just sparking something in people.”

Before the event, Meyer said she was intrigued by Garibaldi’s paintings.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what David’s going to paint,” Meyer said. “He changes it up often.”

But there’s one thing that always stays the same: Garibaldi’s signature glasses. Without them, he said his look wouldn’t be complete.

“If I don’t have glasses on, it’s like I’m not wearing underwear on stage”,” Garibaldi said. news@ dailynebraskan.com

New faculty members will aid university, IANR The world’s population is expected to grow by 2 billion people by 2050 – and the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources is getting prepared. The institute will add 36 new faculty members to its arsenal by next year.

The new IANR positions range from food and nutrition to plant biology to food allergy risk assessment, but they all have one thing in common: They represent a turnaround for the university, which has been subject to budget cuts and stagnant hiring practices for years. And with mounting concerns of food and resource security worldwide, there’s never been a better time for these new positions, which could help the university foster innovations to feed the Earth’s growing population.

“It’s a bold statement that we’re making,” Ronnie Green, IANR vice chancellor, said in a university press release. “Some would say it’s risky to be taking on this much at once, but I’d say it’s a calculated, strategic move that’s going to pay off big in the long run.”

Green is right – hiring three dozen new faculty members in a precarious economic climate is a risk. Salaries for the new staff would cost the university as much as $5 million. But Green is also right that the risk is one well-worth taking.

It’s a risk that could help the university thrive, and it will pay off. opinion@dailynebraskan.com

Health center information has been provided for students I am writing in response to the Feb. 18 editorial calling for a delay of a vote by the Board of Regents on the proposal to engage Bryan Health as a private provider for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s health services. The editorial and the article portrayed me as being indifferent to student opinion. That isn’t the case. Student input has been sought at every reasonable step in this process. It’s in students’ and the university’s best interest to have this resolved.

The point of the editorial seems to be that students have not had adequate opportunities to understand the facts about the proposal and to voice their opinions. When we have had facts, we have sought student opinion.

The first facts we had were when Bryan responded to our Request For Proposals. We then created an evaluation committee to advise us on the Bryan response. The RFP Evaluation Committee included two student representatives, ASUN President Eric Kamler and the student representative on the University Health Center Governing Board, LJ McElravy.

ASUN held a general session regarding the process for students on Oct. 18. The RFP Evaluation Committee held eight public presentations by Bryan Health to discuss the matter. In response to the request by the student members of the RFP Evaluation Committee, one of these sessions was live-streamed, recorded and is available on the Student Affairs website (http://stuafs.unl. edu/), where other documents also are posted.

These public presentations were widely advertised in the DN, in an all-student email, in Next@Nebraska and through ASUN. Other than students who work at the health center, few attended.

The evaluation committee

supported moving forward but listed several issues they wanted to consider as we negotiated with Bryan. We did so and resolved all of them.

Now, we have nearly completed the actual contract with Bryan and we know what they are actually going to do. So we are scheduling additional meetings with students. Another session for all students is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Feb. 26, in the Nebraska Union. We will also post on the web a side-by-side comparison of the Bryan proposal to the current system.

Let me summarize the proposal, with the details to be discussed at the student meeting: Bryan agrees to provide at least the same services as our current center with the same or better hours. They will offer the advantages of a comprehensive health care provider at a time when the delivery of medical services is increasingly regulated and complicated. Bryan will build a new state-of-theart building. And all of this will come at a cost significantly below what we would have to charge students if we were to stay on the current course.

I believe that when you get the full facts, you will find it hard to see the arguments against this proposal. This is not to say our current health center is a bad one – but in this environment, a small, standalone health center cannot provide the level of service you should have at a reasonable cost.

Suggesting further delays on a decision on the proposal is to suggest a compromise to this university’s commitment to provide students with an up-todate health care center and services. The longer we wait, the more expensive the building project is likely to become.

I encourage all students and staff to take time now to become familiar with the information already provided about the Bryan proposal. I also encourage students to attend the upcoming public session or to read the material on the web.

‘Tolerance’ squelches free speech

I

n its inception, higher education was founded on the notion that a population with varying thoughts, principles and belief systems could gather to present, discuss and integrate new ideas.

This can certainly be realized by the emphasis on accepting those of cultures and backgrounds different than our own and considering their opinions and thoughts to gain greater understanding of issues. This is the type of “diversity” universities should be advocating for.

But instead, the word has been twisted to mean that you cannot offend someone who is different from you.

Universities’ bastion of politically correct culture and ever-broadening definition of buzzwords is not only against the First Amendment, but stands contrary to the principle of academia by discouraging or punishing ideas that may offend others.

Speech is now being regulated at public universities under this rainbow-colored flag of “diversity,” which has come to mean a requirement to conform with our interpretation of acceptance.

A difference exists between acceptance and understanding. We are told that because someone’s viewpoint is different than our own for whatever reason, we must “accept” it rather than challenge it simply because we were not indoctrinated with it. In reality, we should be taught to challenge new ideas but still respect and understand why they’re being presented.

“What is happening on our campuses in the name of progress and social engineering is the enemy of liberty and it’s also the enemy of American progress,” said Alan Kors, the founder of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), in a documentary by Penn Jillette and Teller.

Unfortunately, and somewhat astonishingly, most institutions of higher education in the nation suffer from bureaucracy that limits selfexpression, freedom of speech and ideas in the name of “tolerance” and “diversity.”

“These absurdities upon absurdities are teaching people that not just common sense, but any semblance of freedom of expression is to be sacrificed on this alter of ‘do not offend,’” Kors said.

For example, Harvard University, obviously regarded as one of the top institutions in the world, has multiple policies that seem ac-

BENJAMIN WELCH ceptable at face value, but could violate the First Amendment on further inspection.

“Behavior evidently intended to dishonor such characteristics as race, gender, ethnic group, religious belief, or sexual orientation is contrary to the pursuit of inquiry and education,” reads Harvard’s “Free Speech Guidelines.” Similarly, its “Handbook for Students” continues: “The ability to express one’s views regarding religion is a significant freedom of speech that the College upholds. In some instances, this type of expression becomes an avenue for persuasion to affiliate with a particular religion. Discussion in this vein is prohibited when the educational and work environment of an individual or the community is jeopardized.”

For example, someone whose moral beliefs conflicted with the concept of gay marriage is permitted by the First Amendment to counterprotest a LGBT rally. This action would violate a policy similar to Harvard’s, however, and perpetrators could face repercussions from the university, all for simply expressing their opinions.

While undoubtedly well-intentioned, the guidelines Harvard sets forth are both unconstitutional and subjective under the First Amendment, which protects the unabridged freedom of speech. Similar policies plague 62 percent of the 409 campuses examined by FIRE, and many others’ were questionable.

Thankfully, those who infringe upon these insensibilities are unlikely to face repercussions from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

In fact, UNL is one of only 15 public universities nationwide to receive a “green light” rating from FIRE’s “Spotlight on Speech Codes 2013.”

This means that FIRE has been “unable to find a policy that seriously imperils speech” and that “FIRE is not currently aware of any serious threats to students’ free speech rights in the policies on that campus.”

This is good news for free-speech proponents, and drafters of school bylaws and other procedural material should be commended.

Last year, the University of California’s Advisory Council on Campus Climate, Culture and Inclusion has recommended to make the UC system “more inclusive and welcoming” to “all community members” and to “seek opportunities to prohibit hate speech on campus.”

“Hate speech” is another one of those vague terms used to quell dissent and in this case, gives UC officials more power in terms of controlling speech. I’m certainly not saying we should consciously attempt to offend other people or engage in hateful behavior for the thrill of it, but the First Amendment makes such instances a case of personal ethics and morals rather than law.

Simply put, you do not have the right to be protected from offensive content. Conversely, others have the right to offend you, as long as it doesn’t breach into incitement or other violent outbursts.

Regardless, when a truly diverse population exists, as many universities strive for, a person of a particular persuasion or belief system taking offense to an action or speech of another is an inevitable byproduct. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Knowledge and finding oneself is the cornerstone of the college experience, and a facet of that is learning to deal with adversity.

The “real world” isn’t going to coddle you after graduation, so why expect it at an institution that embodies the free-flow exchange of ideas?

Universities are infringing upon rights in arenas the government on a larger scale can’t do (yet). I find this especially ironic since higher education should be about expanding the mind, not restricting ideas just because a section of society may subjectively find them inappropriate.

The American definition of a liberty includes a free marketplace of ideas, and colleges should be even freer, not less. We should be thankful UNL speech codes embrace this concept.

Preschool is foundation to success

B

uilding blocks and kitchen sets, mandatory naps and arts and crafts. These are some of the first things that come to mind when thinking of the time spent in preschool. So why is it that President Barack Obama mentioned the importance of preschools during his State of the Union address?

Preschool is more than just a fancy daycare jam-packed with fun activities and new friends.

The importance is that it’s the first place most children are brought to that is wholly dedicated to their education and growth. Preschools teach the basics that assist in learning for an entire lifetime. Obama’s proposal was to work with states to make high-quality preschool available to every child in America.

Preschool is a necessity for everyone. It gently introduces children to formal education structure and discipline, social skills and provides childcare for working parents.

High quality preschools have educators who more than qualify for their positions.

In Washington, D.C. the AppleTree Early Learning Public Charter School is a preschool known for their outstanding curriculum. They claim that throughout a teacher’s career, they continue to get hands-on professional training that assists in effectively promoting early literacy and math. They also take interest in the classroom environment being as nurturing and supportive as possible. Administration consistently develops new ways to measure the effectiveness of the teacher in order to maintain a top-notch learning experience. This is an important aspect because if the world is constantly changing education should be doing the same.

Also, according to its website, AELPCS “uses a comprehensive, integrated curriculum designed to engage young children in playful activities and to build on their natural eagerness to learn... Each classroom is staffed by a three-person instructional team consisting of a teacher and teaching fellow, both of whom have four-year degrees, and a teaching assistant.”

According to Obama, various studies show that the sooner a child begins learning, the

SAMEE CALLAHAN better he or she does down the road. Sending children to high quality preschools is the most clear and obvious decision. Unfortunately, making the decision isn’t the hard part. Only three in 10 4-year-olds are enrolled in a high quality preschool program because most middle-class parents can’t afford the tuition. The absence of this top-notch education for less fortunate kids, who need the most help, will continue to hinder them throughout the rest of their lives. This is exactly why high quality preschool tuition should be a thing of the past.

A large factor in this proposal is how we as a country plan to pay for it. People blame President Obama’s previous failed policies for the high unemployment rates. They don’t want him wasting the money on some educational plan that will turn out like its unsuccessful predecessors.

However, there is already talk of partnerships for different types of funding. The White House Plan includes a federal-state partnership providing preschool funds for any 4-year-old whose family income is 200 percent or less than the federal poverty level. Obama is also suggesting an Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership program that permits states, communities and childcare providers to compete for grants in order to assist children 3 years or younger.

Obama didn’t mention the issue of taxpayer’s money in detail during the address. However he

did say, “Every dollar we invest in high-quality early education can save more than $7 later on – by boosting graduation rates, reducing teen pregnancy, even reducing violent crime.”

Curriculum is crucial, but it seems that Obama is looking more toward the hidden curriculum that high quality preschools have to offer.

And he is absolutely right to do so. The “HighScope Perry Preschool Study Through Age 40” is a perfect representation of the effectiveness of high quality preschools. In the 1960s, 123 children 3 and 4 years old living in poverty were divided into preschools. The control group children did not attend a preschool at all. Then, at age 40 these people were interviewed and data was gathered from the subjects’ school, social services and arrest records. The study found that the subjects who attended the high quality preschool had higher earning, were more likely to hold a job, had committed fewer crimes and were more likely to have graduated from high school than the adults who did not attend preschool.

President Obama noted that, “These studies show that students are more likely to read and do math at grade level, graduate high school, keep a job and in turn create more stable families of their own.” This noticeably illustrates his dedication to the improvement of our nation. With exceptional preschools comes stability (be it mental, financial, household, etc.) and stability should be a top priority considering all of the absurd crimes committed daily.

Equipping this forthcoming generation with the skills they need to get a good job means an increase in businesses locating in America. Even better, it will equip them with the critical thinking skills needed to guide our democracy. We, as Americans, have to face the music: Our ship is sinking. The only way to stay afloat is to use fresh, new strategies on our youngest generations. Young people are our future and we can’t let them fall behind – not anymore.

UNL School of Music, Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film collaborate on musical production of Voltaire’s classic work stories by Madeline Christensen and Anna Gronewold

O

nce every four years, the University of NebraskaLincoln School of Music and the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film put aside their opposite schedules and differing rehearsal methods to collaborate on one huge production.

This year, the stars have aligned and “Candide” is set to open on Thursday at Kimball Recital Hall. “Candide” is the story of the slow disillusionment of the character for which the play was named. It begins with Candide living in a paradise-like world where he mindlessly accepts the concept of optimism from his mentor, Pangloss. Over time, though, he experiences various hardships and slowly begins to reject optimism.

The show itself, adapted from

Voltaire’s original novella, has been through as many as nine major revisions since it was first produced for Broadway in 1956. “‘Candide’ has been revised so many times because people really believe in the source material,” director and music professor Alisa Belflower said. “They believe Voltaire’s written work is very rich with important valuable life lessons – a study of the human spirit, if you will. They also believe that Bernstein’s music is just something that’s magnificent and should be celebrated.”

To find a way to bring that together on a stage with theatrical and musical integrity is a rather large challenge, Belflower said.

So, many creators have come up with their own versions of “Candide”

throughout the years.

It was composer Mary Zimmerman’s recent adaptation that caught Belflower’s attention.

“To me, hers is the most amazing of all of them,” Belflower said. “I fell in love with her vision for the production and the script she wrote for it.”

Belflower contacted Zimmerman, and now UNL will see the regional premiere of her adaptation, as well as the first time it’s ever been heard with a full orchestra.

“This show hasn’t been fully staged in New York in over twelve years,” Belflower said. “It’s a very rare, once-in-alifetime opportunity to see a production like this that is so celebrated and loved.” arts@ dailynebraskan.com on twitter @dnartsdesk

Senior vocal performance major Jaimie Pruden applies makeup in the dressing room alongside other female cast members of “Candide” on Tuesday night. Pruden plays Paquette in the operetta that opens Thursday night.

COSTUMES “Candide” doesn’t have hydraulic lifts or rotating stages. It does have costumes though – more than 300 of them.

The operetta is, above all, a journey.

It transports audiences to destinations such as Germany, Holland, Portugal, Spain, Paraguay, Colombia, Venice and Turkey.

But the limited space and resources in Kimball Recital Hall don’t allow for a new set each time the plot introduces a new location. To transition among a variety of places, costume designer Mallory Maria Prucha created hundreds of costume looks, each themed toward a specific set. Director Alisa Belflower said the costumes are essential to creating “Candide.”

“She has managed to absolutely amazingly create costumes that are able to transfer the audience and my actors to those places,” Belflower said.

Prucha’s costume work for “Candide” is also her graduate thesis and her dedication to her craft is evident.

Becca Duncan, a sophomore music

major and part of the “Candide” ensemble, said the costumes exceeded her expectations from previous productions.

“These are a lot more elaborate than anything I’ve experienced in the past,” Duncan said. “Mallory came in with these concept drawings. In the Eldorado scene it’s all gold – everything is gold. In places like France and Germany, everyone has these towering wigs. One of the wigs literally has a boat in it.”

According to Duncan, the intricate costumes do present some challenges, however. The corsets worn by women in the 1700s were not made for breathing, much less singing. “We brought those (corsets) into rehearsals pretty early,” Duncan said. “Eventually they’d keep cinching us in tighter.”

Pantyhose, petticoats, full-length skirts and heels may be difficult to maneuver, but they set the stage for “Candide” to shine. Duncan said she wouldn’t have it any other way.

“It’s a lot to get used to, but it’s definitely worth it,” she said. arts@ dailynebraskan.com on twitter @dnartsdesk

MAKEUP A great outfit is useless without proper makeup. This is why the costume designer for “Candide,” Mallory Maria Prucha, is also the primary makeup artist.

“Mallory is both the makeup and the costume designer, which gives us a holistic and well-integrated approach,” director Alisa Belflower said.

“If I had the choice, I would always choose someone to do both.”

The makeup for “Candide” is highly specific to each character. According the Becca Duncan, a sophomore music major and member of the “Candide” ensemble, Prucha created individual sheets for each member of the cast, instructing he or she which features to highlight or minimize.

Though there are makeup artists on hand, most cast members, both male and female, have enough theater experience to do their own makeup.

That doesn’t make it easy, though.

son and Belflower said they are excited about the different motifs that follow the regional, temporal and emotional contours of Candide’s arduous global voyage.

“The music varies greatly stylistically, the sonic palette and rhythms adapting to the regions where songs are performed,” Belflower said.

“When they are in Cadiz (Spain), the music takes on a Latin dance rhythm.

While in Venice, there is an underscoring gavotte and, yet, throughout the music is still distinctively Bernstein.”

What exactly that means might be somewhat nebulous to those who haven’t heard his work, but Reimer did her best to explain..

“Bernstein’s main goal is to help to narrate and accompany the audience through Candide’s travels,” she said. “But it would be safe to say that he tries to make Voltaire’s wit and satire apparent in the instrumentation.”

Through the peaks and troughs of the epic, the orchestra will run the gamut of musical technique and expression.

“The war sequence really is intense,” Fieldson said. “The brass is loud and frenetic. An earthquake is simulated with percussion, while soft strings are used for more intimate moments. Also near the end, there is a cello solo accompanying the narration that is in stark contrast to the other passages, but truly effective.”

Most important, according to Belflower, “Candide” is about the fusion of word and music in creating an emotionally stirring art form.

“In ‘Candide,’ Bernstein represents the indefatigable human spirit, the life-force that shows the range of what people can do when subjected to adversity,” she said. “It is a testament to the effervescent human spirit.” arts@ dailynebraskan.com on twitter @dnartsdesk

Alisa Belflower, the director of “Candide,” stands in her office. The operetta is being put on by the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film and the UNL School of Music and opens Thursday.

DIRECTING Directing both music and theater students is a rewarding experience, Belflower said, but it doesn’t come without its challenges.

“When we began rehearsals for ‘Candide,’ there was some frustration from both sides,” Belflower said. “It’s hard to adapt to one another ’s rehearsal methods when you’re so used to your own but by the end of it, everybody’s on board.”

Belflower said after the initial obstacles, collaboration becomes a great thing.

“The music students are inspired by the theater students, and the theater students are in-

played by the same person,” Belflower said.

When she wasn’t concentrating on how to get different factions of the ensemble to work together, Belflower was working on how best to portray the script on stage. She went back to basics with Voltaire’s original novella.

“It’s very interesting to note the parts in the written work that aren’t in the script, because it helps to maintain the development of the characters,” Belflower said. “Even though the audience doesn’t necessarily see it, it helps develop the story through time.” arts@ dailynebraskan.com on twitter @dnartsdesk

spired by the music students,” she said. “Their learning is accelerated.”

Belflower said she concentrates her directing on getting the actors to be as specific as they can possibly be, from their choices of movement to their voices, as well as in their intentions as to what they want to accomplish on stage while in character.

Theater professor Stan Brown helped with dialects for each of the characters throughout the show.

“The dialects were important so each of the students could create characters that are specifically identifiable and feel and sound different than their other characters, even when they’re

Timothy Madden, a senior vocal music research major, talks to fellow cast members in the men’s dressing area backstage while getting his makeup done before a dress rehearsal.

Preparation usually talks at least an hour and a half, Duncan said.

“It’s probably more like two and a half hours total, but I precurl my hair,” she said. “There’s a lot of really specific shading.”

As well as preventing actors from looking like ghosts under the theater lights, stage makeup in “Candide” amplifies characters’ emotions and statuses.

“At times the student (actors) need to look stressed, wealthy, poor, young or old,” Belflower said, “and the makeup goes a long way helping the students to portray those intricacies to the audience.” arts@ dailynebraskan.com on twitter @dnartsdesk

SET/LIGHTS The set of “Candide” is going to be pretty.

That’s because everything – costumes, set and lighting – is all part of a unified idea, said theater graduate student Clay Van Winkle.

“It has a lot to do with color,” Van Winkle said. “The idea is that we change locations with color, as well as set the mood. Anything to give a feeling of place.”

Since “Candide” takes place in so many locations, the scenic designers needed to create a set that could facilitate quick scene changes and had a lot of fluidity to it – all without being too distracting for the audience.

“Kimball is a recital hall, so it’s an interesting space to design for; it’s not like a typical theater,” theater graduate student Michaela Stein said. “Since we can’t fly anything out – there are no curtains – making the audience feel that there is a drastic change in location was a little difficult.”

Stein envisioned a set with handmade curtains instead of walls, as well as a series of platforms and an angled stage.

bethany schmidt | dn

Michaela Lynne Stein, a graduate student in scenic design and scenic designer for ‘Candide,’ puts the finishing touches on the last piece of the show’s set.

“I thought building all the curtains for the space was going to be a problem, but because of the wonderful theater program at UNL, we were able to fulfill that need of the design and quickly overcame that challenge,” Stein said.

Stein said the curtains help create a beautiful space that’s not necessarily literal for each scene and add a lot of interesting line and movement.

Van Winkle said he has enjoyed the freedom with lighting that “Candide” offers.

“I can take things really far,”

he said. “I can use really saturated colors; I can deal with a lot of movement and really cool effects as well as creating a naturalistic feel.”

Van Winkle said he believes the lighting will really help set the scope of the show for the audience.

“We’re going for kind of a theatrical feel, and all of the design elements work together to accomplish that,” he said. “The lighting is just one piece of the puzzle of the whole concept.” arts@ dailynebraskan.com on twitter @dnartsdesk

Floor routine requires strong landings Gymnasts Perdue, Klein perfect the end of their exercises, lead Huskers Becca Schollaert dn “And he sticks the landing!” is a phrase familiar to everyone involved with gymnastics. Usually, it’s said as a joke after a person has an unlucky fall, or after someone turns a tumble into a graceful landing. However, Grant Perdue and Louis Klein crave to hear these words after their floor exercise.

A floor exercise may look like a bunch of intricate flips and tricks in a 70-second time period.

However, to coaches and gymnasts, it is much more than that.

In fact, it’s something worked on and perfected from the beginning of one’s gymnastic career.

“Kids start around four or five and add new skills every year,” Nebraska coach Chuck Chmelka said. “It’s a progression.”

Perdue, now a sophomore, file photo by Kat Buchanan | dn has been practicing since he was four, while Klein, a junior, has Louis Klein maintains his balance during a routine on the rings.

Former Nebraska wrestler and Olympic gold medalist Jordan Burroughs walks off the mat during a ceremony at the Nebraska Coliseum. Wrestling will no longer be an Olympic event in 2020.

The IOC will hold a vote in May to decide if wrestling deserves to garner a re-proposal and re-inclusion in the Olympics, so the jig is not totally up for the sport.

Olympic wrestling should be salvaged, and it still could be (knock on wood).

But if it’s not saved for now, wrestling will be missed around

Michigan: from 10 brief lull of three losses in a row, the Wolverines are now back on track with a three-game win streak, with wins over Illinois (15-9), then No. 13 Purdue (19-6) and Michigan State (19-6).

“I think Michigan is really good, their experience sets them apart,” Nebraska coach Connie Yori said. “They’re disciplined, and that comes with being veteran.”

Senior Kate Thompson leads the team in points per game with 15.5, and is a 44 percent three-point shooter, netting 216 threes this season already. She’s surrounded by seniors Rachel Sheffer (12.6 points per game) and Jenny Ryan (11.2 points and five assists per game), creating a trio of scorers Nebraska will have to deal with.

“They will only take a great

shot,” Moore said. “They have so many weapons. Everyone (on defense) is going to have to do their jobs.”

But Nebraska’s offense has been clicking lately as well, led

by All-American candidate Jordan Hooper. The sophomore, who averages just above 19 points per game, has averaged 22 points during the win streak, including three games over 25. Moore has also been consistent, scoring more than 10 points in each game, and she has had four games of five assists or more.

“We’ve found a rhythm in each other,” Moore said.

With post season tournaments looming and the Big Ten race becoming tighter, Nebraska knows each game is more important

than the last. The Huskers must win each game to have a shot at the Big Ten title. But Nebraska is trying to stay humble with all the recent success.

“When you are winning, you don’t get caught up in it,” Yori said. “Preparation helps to relive pressure. We put ourselves in a good position, but we’ve got to keep playing well.”

And to do that, according to Hooper, they just have to keep playing their game.

“We just have to come out and play like we have these past games, and I think we’ll be okay,” Hooper said.

Tip-off is at 6 p.m. and can be heard on Huskers.com. sports@ dailynebraskan.com

blanske: from 10 “It was the whole atmosphere here,” Blanske said. “Nebraska had amazing facilities, great coaches, and the whole team was really close. Nebraska had everything I was looking for in a college.”

Her next hurdle was rehab.

Blanske had surgery in May of 2012 to repair the knee, graduated from high school in June, then immediately moved down to Lincoln to start the rehabilitation process.

She rehabbed five or six days a week. In a typical day, she would exercise and condition to strengthen her knee.

The process was hard, she said, especially in a brand new

atmosphere.

“At some points the rehab got hard, but the trainers were great,” Blanske said. “I really had to keep a positive attitude throughout, and the trainers helped a lot.”

She sped through the rehab, and by mid-September, although she was limited, resumed activities in gymnastics.

By the start of December, she was back to gymnastics full time.

She would be ready for the season opener in mid-January.

In just her second meet of her career, Blanske put up scores that still stand as season highs.

Blanske scored a 9.85 on bars, 9.775 on beam and 9.90 on floor

against Michigan State on Jan. 19.

Kendig said he has been pleased with her season so far.

“I think she has been solid,” Kendig said. “I think she wants more and expects more though.

But she won’t back down from a challenge.”

Blanske said she is just trying to contribute to the team.

Being only a freshman, Kendig sees a lot of potential in Blanske moving forward.

“I think she’ll be stellar,” Kendig said. “She has the skills, the passion, and she persevered through that injury like a champ.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com

s a winter storm rolls into the Lincoln area, the Nebraska women’s basketball team will be traveling to Michigan for a game on Thursday night that will showcase two of the top three Big Ten teams.

Nebraska (19-6 overall, 9-3 Big Ten) is riding a seven-game win streak that began over a month ago, and is coming off a 58-39 trouncing over Ohio State at home on Feb. 14.

“We’re really confident right now,” AllAmerican candidate Lindsey Moore said at a press conference Wednesday.

Moore, who had a team-high 14 points in the Huskers win over Ohio State, thinks this game against Michigan could be a deciding factor in the Big Ten race.

“Coach (Connie) Yori emphasized to us at the beginning of practice the other day how big of a game this is,” Moore said.

“And if we want to be Big Ten champs, we need to take care of business against Michigan.”

Michigan (19-6, 8-4) has been consistently one of the top teams in the Big Ten this year and began the season 15-2, the second best start in the conference. After a

The former Nebraska wrestler ’s Twitter handle – “@alliseeisgold” – is brash, cocky and backed up. Burroughs has won every tournament he has wrestled since the beginning of his senior season with the Huskers (and knock on wood, because he’s wrestling at the World Cup in Iran this week).

Among Burroughs’ gold medals is one from the 2012 Summer Olympics.

He plans on competing in the 2016 Olympics, also. And, after a decision the International Olympic Committee made last week, the wrestling competition at the Rio de Janeiro Games may be the last.

The IOC voted last week to eliminate wrestling – both freestyle and Greco-Roman – from the Olympics beginning in 2020.

As of right now, no wrestler will ever see Olympic gold again after 2016.

Hollie Blanske overcomes torn ACL, perseveres to earn season-high scores Matt Duren dn Hollie Blanske began on the runway as usual, hit the springboard and pushed off the table. As she was twisting through the air, she was on her way down and didn’t quite get parallel. She was still twisting as she landed and automatically felt a snap in her knee that didn’t feel right.

It would later be revealed she had torn her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and partially torn her meniscus.

Just like that, her high school gymnastics career was over.

“It was really discouraging,” Blanske said. “To miss the rest of my high school career and the state tournament was really hard, especially looking ahead to the rehab I would need to do.”

The support she had during that time from everyone was unwavering. But the support of Nebraska women’s gymnastics coach Dan Kendig, her future college mentor, stood out.

“Coach Kendig had 100 percent faith in me,” Blanske said. “He wasn’t worried at all and thought I would come back strong.”

For Kendig, there was never a doubt in his mind about Blanske.

“I was concerned about it, and you never know how people will respond to that type of injury,” Kendig

Blanske committed to Nebraska in the fall of her junior year of high school. She was all set to join the Nebraska team in the coming years.

The hard part was out of the way for Blanske, an Oak Grove, Minn., native, when she ended the recruiting process.

“It was a big relief to finally pick a school,” Blanske said. “It was a stressful time having to pick between all the colleges. I was really glad when it was over.”

Blanske picked Nebraska over Arkansas, Iowa State, Washington, Denver and Minnesota. A number of things drew her to the school.
