dn hosts second asun debate Candidates spar over privatization, sustainability story by Jame Pace-Cornsilk | photos by Brianna Soukup

n the second of four debates between Association of Student for the University of Nebraska hopefuls, parties fielded questions regarding sustainability, University Health Center privatization and increasing student involvement in ASUN. Sense for ASUN, Revive and Engage met on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. in the Nebraska Union Crib for a debate, which was hosted by the Daily Nebraskan and the University of NebraskaLincoln Civic Action Committee.

Proposed efforts to enhance sustainability at UNL while keeping student fees low stirred conflict between the campaigning parties and proved an issue that became heated during the closing remarks.

“Revive, you want paperless air dryers, those cost money,” said Blake Rostine, a junior German and political science major and presidential candidate for Sense.

Revive candidates admitted paperless air dryers cost money, but Revive presidential candidate Zach Stull, a junior business administration major, explained that paperless air dryers are not the biggest sustainability point they are advocating.

Allowing beer sales at the new Haymarket Arena during Nebraska basketball games is another platform Revive is campaigning on. Revive believes by allowing beer sales, but limiting the number students can purchase, the revenue generated will help pay back debt for the new project. Revive also stated allowing beer sales will increase attendance at the games.

Sam Adams, Revive’s candidate external vice president and a junior finance and economics major, used Omaha’s Creighton University as an example of a school that allows beer sales at their basketball games and has not had any problems with it thus far.

Revive questioned how the Sense executives might imple-

Anders Olsen, Sense’s external vice presidential candidate and a junior agribusiness major, said he would create a plan to create smoking areas on campus that are easy access for smokers. Punishments include a student having their N-Card taken away, which costs $20 to replace, he said.

Creating a third college prep program in South Omaha, a platform of the Engage party, was also a topic of concern. Engage aims to create a bridge from South Omaha to give students the opportunity to have a clear path to UNL. Eric Reznicek, presidential candidate for Engage, says a third college prep

The three parties bidding for leadership of ASUN – Engage, Revive, and Sense – debate in the Nebraska Union Crib Tuesday night. The debate was held by the Daily Nebraskan and moderated by the Daily Nebraskan and the Civic Action Committee.

A group of about 60 University of Nebraska-Lincoln faculty, staff and students gathered Tuesday evening at the Nebraska Union to learn about the future of the University Health Center.

UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman discussed more details of Bryan Health’s proposal to take over operations of the health center before fielding questions from the crowd.

“It is a battle of titans out there,” Perlman said during the event. “It’s no longer sensible in my view to run a small, independent health center. It’s not good now, and it will be increasingly difficult in the future.”

Bryan Health has said they would construct a new $14.4 million building to replace the current health center at no cost to students, as well as maintain all of the health services that are currently offered to students. The new building would be located at 19th and R streets, south of the Beadle Center.

Perlman emphasized the benefits that would come from privatizing the health center including students getting an updated building without an increase in student fees and the expanded variety of health insurance that a larger company like Bryan Health would be able to accept for services.

“I don’t believe that between Bryan Health and this university, this university can manage a health center better than Bryan Health can,” Perlman said.

College readership carries on despite trends James Pace-Cornsilk DN Though fewer University of Nebraska-Lincoln students are picking up newspapers, UNL still ranks third out of 450 participating schools in newspapers consumed.

The Collegiate Readership Program – funded by student fees – has seen a steady decline in newspaper consumption by UNL students since the 2008-2009 school year, which reported a total of 757,347 newspapers consumed. At the end of the 2011-2012 school year, that number decreased approximately 35 percent to 489,441 newspapers.

“If I pick up a paper real late in the evening, there’s still like a big stack,” said Ashley Elrod, a senior criminology and criminal justice major. “And I’d rather see no papers than so many at the end of the day.”

Pennsylvania State University

reported the highest number of newspapers picked up out of all participating schools, the University of Utah falling just behind them, according Jason Meyer, senior account manager for USA Today, who launched the program in 2003.

The decline in consumption of The New York Times, Lincoln Journal Star, Omaha World-Herald and USA Today could be attributed to several factors. Digital convergence, the migration of print readers to online, is a hot topic among news organizations. Elrod believes social media and other online news outlets could be driving students away from traditional newspapers. “(People aren’t picking up papers) because they can just read articles online now,” said Adam Snyder, a senior civil engineering major, “or just play games on their phones.”

Meyer agreed that digital technologies, mobile phones and tablet

devices are probably what is causing campus readership to decline.

He oversees approximately 20 college readership programs across Nebraska and Iowa.

Twitter, Facebook and other internet sites are frequent news stops for Johnathon Hebbard, a junior communications major.

“They’re just a part of my daily routine,” Hebbard said. “You know you get up in the morning, jump on your computer, check your email, check Twitter, check Facebook, check the news in there as well.”

Providing students with an online subscription would be a difficult process, according to Meyer.

“The problem with (offering online subscription) is it would just be USA Today online,” he said.

“It would not address getting the Omaha paper online, the Lincoln paper online or The New York

Senate approves Chuck Hagel nomination After filibuster, senators approve secretary of defense nomination 58-41 STAFF REPORT DN It’s official: Chuck Hagel is the secretary of defense.

In a 58-to-41 vote, the U.S. Senate approved Hagel Tuesday afternoon to replace outgoing Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta.

The nomination of the former Republican senator from Nebraska to President Barack Obama’s Cabinet has been a long, divisive political battle. From the outset, Hagel was largely abandoned by his own party and attacked over his internationalist views.

Hagel survived a filibuster two weeks ago and the continued attacks of several outspoken Republicans. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas lead the battle against Hagel, claiming he had ties to foreign money and does not understand America’s foreign policy stance on Iran.

Along with new Secretary of State John Kerry, Obama’s new cabinet has connections with the Vietnam War. Hagel will be the first secretary of defense to have served in combat. He is a Vietnam veteran with two purple hearts. Hagel’s war experience turned him to an early critic of the Iraq War, which is a reason he lost support of Republicans.

Among other issues in the Pentagon, Hagel may have to deal with $500 billion in planned spending cuts to his department on March 1.

Federal research to be accessible to public REECE RISTAU DN After public outcry, a petition to the White House and the suicide of a prominent Internet activist, the federal government has moved to make federally backed research more accessible to the public.

The White House announced last week it will make the results of federally funded research available within the next year. The announcement came after growing pressure from the public, with an online petition demanding free access to scientific journal articles gaining more than 65,000 signatures.

Currently, scientific research is published in scholarly journals, which many charge users

for access. However, the days of paper and mail are over, and the articles are much cheaper to publish than before the Internet, something those in academia have stressed.

Paul Royster, coordinator for scholarly communication at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said the concern of publishers is that open access would hurt the purchase of articles as well as readership. However, Royster said current models offering free articles, such as the National Institutes of Health’s model, are working quite well.

“It hasn’t hurt the publishers at all,” Royster said. “It has helped the writers by getting more exposure and has helped the readers by increasing affordability.”

breakdown of the white house’s move • Open access to federally funded research within the next year • 65,704 signatures on the petition • Applies to agencies with $100 million in expenditures Some supporters of the decision suggest Aaron Swartz, co-founder of social media site Reddit, is a primary factor. The

Journalists to show Brazil documentary sarah cohen dn Twice a year, Bruce Thorson teaches a journalism class that travels around the world.

Over winter break, 10 University of Nebraska-Lincoln journalism students and Thorson, an associate professor of journalism, traveled to São Paulo. The class’ project “Searching São Paulo: A Documentary Photography Project” will be shown at The Bourbon Theatre Wednesday from 5 to 8 p.m.

The class aimed to document the human condition and show what poverty looks like in a different country through multimedia projects combined into a documentary.

Nickolai Hammar, a sophomore journalism major and Daily Nebraskan photographer, was one of the students who traveled to Brazil.

Hammar said the students either worked individually or in pairs focusing on a different aspect of poverty.

“Every time I work on a story, whether it’s in a foreign country or in Lincoln, Nebraska, I’m really humbled and amazed how open people are when you ask them if you can tell their story,” Hammar said.

Students spent three weeks photographing, interviewing and recording in Brazil, according to Anna Reed, a senior journalism major. After months of research and countless hours editing, a final multimedia production is ready to be shared.

Reed said her class was not only trying to find stories about Brazilians in need but also how hope and optimism could spring from these stories.

“We tried to tell a story that American culture doesn’t know much about,” Reed said. “Poverty is an issue everywhere, but sometimes it doesn’t seem like much is known about the extent of those affected by poverty. The goal was to show that in this project.”

After the documentary’s presentation, there will be an opportunity for the audience to donate money to Brazilians in need, Thorson said.

Thorson said these stories might go on to motivate UNL students to do something that might help those in need in other countries or in the United States.

“Journalism has always been about taking stories, meeting people, telling their stories and then going away,” Thorson said. “But we hope to turn journalism around and to inspire people who watch this documentary to give back to these organizations and people whose stories we told.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

Flores was born with Roberts syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes malformation of the limbs. While she has made progress in being able to sit up and scoot on her own, without the surgery to correct her feet, she will never be able to walk.

announcement came just six weeks after Swartz, who was indicted in 2011 for releasing millions of stolen articles and journals, committed suicide.

Federal agencies are being granted a 12-month embargo time before having to switch to open-access availability. After this, all articles must be available online for free.

“This (decision) could greatly speed up new research,” said Brandon Locke, a UNL graduate student in history. “Work will be more unified and productivity will increase.”

Locke said with other researchers having access to more research, the quality and quantity would improve.

The directive will only apply to agencies with more than $100

million in research and development expenditures, according to an article in Reuters. The agencies will have to develop their own plans to open up their research, which the White House then must approve.

Critics of the policy say the 12-month embargo is devaluing the plan, and this is too long to wait to release the information.

The impact on college students will be widespread and positive, according to Locke, who often runs into trouble accessing certain research needed for his graduate studies.

“It will mean that students can get access to articles that the library does not have a subscription to,” Royster said.

of how many newspapers are being picked up. Each day, carriers delivering that day’s paper count the number of papers left over, subtract that number from the total number set out, and report the total number of papers consumed online. USA Today, who’s largely in charge of the program, then sends Jablonski a bill every month for the numbers of papers picked up.

If the amount UNL is charged based on papers picked up falls under budget, the difference is placed into a reserve account. Right now, the reserve account is worth approximately $100,000, according to Jablonski.

“We see an opportunity for growth and would love to be that growth,” said Reznicek, a junior marketing and finance major.

When Kaitlin Coziahr, vice presidential candidate for Engage and a junior finance, economics and management major, faced the question of what her successes and failures have been during her time as the ASUN communications chair, she cited trying to reach out to groups as a success, but not reaching out to freshmen as a failure.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police responded to a disturbance outside of Mabel Lee Hall early Saturday morning. Police said an intoxicated male was in a driveway in the northeast corner of Mabel Lee. Jobe Smith, 25 and a non-student, stepped out of a Pontiac Sedan, police said.

Officers said they detected the scent of alcohol on Smith, who also did not have a valid driver’s license. Police said they saw a 21-year-old UNL student lying in the snow with an abrasion on his forehead. Smith was placed in custody, and Lincoln Fire & Rescue was called to the scene.

Police said Smith had cut three people off when driving into the driveway. Then Smith had gotten out of the vehicle and assaulted the UNL student, police said. Smith was cited and lodged for third-degree assault as well as driving under the influence, refusal to submit to a chemical test and not having an operator’s license.

Times online. If we’re talking online, it becomes a much more complicated program because every newspaper does its own thing.”

Meyer said along with digital technology taking the reins in delivering news, students’ upbringings could impact whether or not they pick up a newspaper.

“In some cases, maybe their parents were not acclimated to picking up papers,” he said. “Maybe they haven’t had access to newspapers before so they’ve just never gotten into that routine.”

Although Hebbard said his parents have favored the print edition of the Lincoln Journal Star ever since he can remember, he still opts for digital news.

“I’m already on the computer so why not look at (the news) that way,” he said. “Also with my phone, you know when you’re sitting around waiting for class.”

Promotion of the Collegiate Readership Program could also influence why newspaper readership is declining. USA Today is present at Big Red Welcome every year alongside the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska, but after that, ASUN is responsible for advertising the program.

“It’s kind of a program that advertises itself,” said Marlene Beyke, director of administration for ASUN. Beyke said the program is also advertised at New Student Enrollment and via a map of newsstands on campus provided by USA Today. At press time, the location map was not on ASUN’s website, but she said it should be there soon.

Effects of the declining number of newspapers can be seen in several different ways. For one, students could be becoming less informed. But the declining number of newspapers picked up means less student fees are being allotted to the program, according to Gregg Jablonski, business manager for the Nebraska Unions. This leaves a surplus of money for ASUN to divvy up.

“Our strategy has always been to put as many papers in the machines as we think are going to be consumed, and that’s what we plan and budget for,” Jablonski said.

Some schools, according to Jablonski, will only spend a fixed dollar amount and provide their students with however many papers that buys. UNL does not do that.

The budget for the 2012-2013 readership program was $200,000.

However, according to Jablonski, only $190,000 of it will be used. The budget request is based on prices of newspapers and current trends

For the first time at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Residence Hall Association executive board members will be paid.

RHA approved the allocation of $4,400 for executive board compensation during its meeting Tuesday evening in the Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center.

The funds will come from the 18 percent commission RHA receives from the sale of On Campus Marketing resident student care packages.

Sales take place three to four times each semester and garner $4,500 to $5,000, according to RHA adviser Melissa Peters.

UNL is the only school in the Big Ten that does not compensate its RHA executive board members, Peters said.

RHA adviser Nathan Ross said this compensation is a way to thank RHA executive board members for their time and effort.

“I think this is a great step,” he said. “It is a great way for us to keep getting quality executive members.”

The compensation will go into effect next school year. The president and vice president of RHA will each receive $1,000 each school year. The treasurer, chief of staff, residential enhancement chair, programming chair, events chair and speaker of the senate will each receive $400 each year.

RHA executive board members will receive half of the stipend at the end of each semester.

Executive board members will receive compensation under the condition that they rate well on regular evaluations by RHA advisers.

RHA President Meg Brannen, a senior advertising and public relations major, said compensating future executive board members will provide incentive for students to stay in RHA and run for executive board positions.

“I want all of our leaders to feel that they are valued,” she said. “It’s working at other universities.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

Religious dictators are the problem, she said. The rulers in Iran are Muslim, and they pass laws according to their own interpretation of the Quran.

“Religious dictatorship is stronger than political dictatorship,” Ebadi said.

Because these dictators view the laws through their own cultural lenses, she said human rights can be violated.

“What is the justification of Iran for the passage of these discriminatory laws?” she asked. “The government claims that these laws are based on the laws of Sharia.”

Shirin Ebadi believes Iran needs a democracy to fix issues like freedom of speech, and the people of Iran are ready for a democracy.

Ebadi, the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner, closed out the E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues Tuesday night. The first Iranian and the first Muslim woman winner of the Nobel Prize, Ebadi received the prize for her groundbreaking efforts in democracy and human rights, focusing on women, children and refugees.

Tuesday night in the Lied Center for Performing Arts she discussed the links between Islam, democracy and human rights.

Chancellor Harvey Perlman introduced Ebadi and awarded her with UNL’s Willa S. Cather Medal.

She was awarded for her humanitarian life work in Iran.

“I will place it on my desk as a symbol of the kindness of you people,” Ebadi said.

Ebadi, a lawyer and previous professor at the University of Tehran, opened with questioning the credibility of a recent Gallup poll. This survey said more than 50 percent of the people of Iran agree with the actions of the Iranian government and 60 percent of Iranians believe America is at fault for the conflicts between governments.

the budget for the Collegiate Readership Program is $160,000. This is because $30,000 will be withdrawn from the reserve account and applied to funding the program, so more student fees paid in the 20132014 school year will be devoted to other costs.

Meyer said even if the number of newspapers consumed continues to decline, the program will not go away.

Non-paying, stressful, dead-end job Sarah Cast, internal vice presidential candidate for Sense, refuted Coziahr ’s communication success in her response.

“You’ve had a year to improve communication, why haven’t you done so already?” Cast asked.

The candidates also argued over whether the privatization of the University Health Center is in the students’ best interest. Sense’s Rostine believes that privatization will not be saving students any money, while Reznicek and Stull believe just the opposite.

“Privatization is in the best interest of students if students want it,” Stull said. He hopes a new, privatized health center would also bring a “broader base” of

health care internship opportunities for students. One of Revive Party’s platforms are to start discussion about privatizing University Housing and Career Services.

Rostine expressed concern that if Bryan Health took over health care, grant-based HIV testing may be eliminated. Reznicek agreed those were crucial programs offered by the health center, and would not want that, or other programs that connect the health center to students, to be eliminated.

The next debate will be held on Thursday, Feb. 26 in the Nebraska Union Crib and hosted by the Dailyer Nebraskan. news@ dailynebraskan.com

Federally backed research should be free to all Finally, federally backed research is free.

The White House announced last week that federally backed research agencies with more than $100 million in expenditures will have one year to make everything free of cost – free to college students, free to fellow researchers and free to the plain curious.

The move is long overdue.

Years ago, it cost real money to print academic journals. But in an Internet age, this money simply doesn’t need to be spent anymore.

Increased accessibility to research articles could improve existing research. It could help researchers to see what has already been done. It could speed up new research.

The decrease in cost will also greatly benefit students.

Students are unlikely to have extra money to pay for scientific journals charging access fees. Without these fees being imposed, students’ capabilities to inform themselves will be vastly improved, not to mention the quality of their own research.

The Daily Nebraskan commends the White House for its decision.

Finally, this information will be where all information deserves to be: totally free.

Term ‘illegal’ demeans immigrants

A

ctivities are illegal. People aren’t. It’s as simple as that.

Someone who illegally entered the United States is an undocumented immigrant. Entering the country without proper visas is an illegal activity, but that doesn’t make a human being “illegal.” The problem with considering a human being “illegal” is that it’s dehumanizing. Rather than looking at the obstruction of justice, we’ve deemed that person an obstruction.

If someone who breaks the law is considered “illegal,” then this concept should apply everywhere and not just with immigration.

the United States has been consistent. If we look into our ancestor ’s immigration stories, they often mirror those of undocumented immigrants. They left their homelands for better opportunities not only for themselves, but also for their families.

The key difference between our ancestor ’s immigration stories and those of recent immigrants is the concept of documentation. Many immigrants, including some of our ancestors, entered this country without paperwork. If this weren’t the case, we’d all be able to pull out a flawless family tree, complete with the exact date our great-great-great grandparents entered the U.S. from their homelands.

Some of us can, and some of us can’t. Not that it matters, beyond satisfying potential curiosity about one’s ancestry. Regardless of our ancestors immigration methods, we accept their (and our) identity as American. The term “illegal immigrant” makes some new Americans seem undeserving of citizenship, linguistically speaking.

The language used to discuss immigration has evolved at the same rapid pace the U.S. has since the country’s foundation more than two centuries ago. The discourse has changed from anti-Irish sentiment in the 1840s and ’50s, anti-Chinese immigration in the 1870s, anti-Russian immigration in the 1920s, and the anti-Japanese sentiment in the 1940s.

When you classify someone as “illegal,” you are making a bold and inappropriate statement. Somehow, a lack of proper paperwork has caused some Americans to create negative caricatures of undocumented immigrants. It’s as if proper paperwork gives many a reason to empathize with their immigration, but a lack thereof fuels a hate-mongering fire.

The media’s consistent use of “illegal immigrant” as a term is perpetuating the stigma attached to undocumented immigrants. Just because a culture deems certain immigrants or immigration methods more acceptable doesn’t mean that newspapers and other media outlets should show favorability.

In short, the rhetoric concerning new immigrants changes constantly. Updating the currently-used “illegal immigrant” to “undocumented immigrant” would be a positive change.

Society fails to realize college is not for everyone

I

remember the brochures: “Since 1988, 98 percent of our students go on to a 4 year university.” A thorough list of sample colleges and universities followed. The hordes of devoted parents came to buy some peace of mind. “Take my money!

Just get my kid into a prestigious four-year university!” No one doubted that their kindergartener was destined for four or more years of post-high school education.

A college education has been enshrined as the key to a happy, productive life. For lower classes, attending college is a ticket to the middle class. And for those already comfortably middle class, it’s the default.

Too many kids set off for college without a clear, realistic post-graduation plan.

Forty percent of entering students won’t graduate within six years. Many start off, and only after wasting years of their time, eventually decide college really wasn’t the best option after all.

With the expansion of access to public universities, attending college is no longer reserved for the intellectual and economic elites of society – and rightfully so.

Anyone who wants to go to college ought to have that opportunity. Unfortunately, lower admissions standards have also accompanied that expanded access.

Newly admitted college students ranked in the bottom quartile of their

graduating high school class have just a 20 percent chance of completing a bachelor’s degree.

Though that figure reeks of confounding variables, such as the correlation between a student’s ability to pay expensive university tuition and time spent studying, one must wonder whether all kids are academically inclined.

That’s almost an offensive thing to say in today’s world. I feel like I might as well march around campus with a local neoNazi group for even considering the idea, but to say otherwise ignores humanity’s diversity. Some kids draw pleasure from understanding Deleuze, others would be content with exploring a local nature preserve and still others just want to party.

You say everyone should like studying?

Who’s the Nazi now? Hmmm?

Of course, no student should be declined if they have a thirst for the trivia taught in schools, but the fact is many young adults 18-22 years old just don’t.

The physical and intangible rewards quickly fade for sending uninterested students off for another four years of lectures.

Yet, for even those students who manage to graduate, our economy hasn’t kept pace. From 2001 to 2010, the number of high school grads pursuing an undergraduate degree has swelled 37 percent.

SHARIQ KHAN Meanwhile, the managerial, technical and professional jobs which collegegrads expect lag behind.

Rather than fix the problems in their own system, declining secondary schools shuffle students off to colleges, who have responded to decreased funding by opening the doors to more students to what education reform reporter Craig Brandon calls the “Five Year Party,” bastardizing the meaning of “collegiate.”

In most other countries, students must decide far before sophomore year of college what they want to do with their professional lives.

Senior film student Benito Sanchez lands position as assistant camera on set of Alexander Payne’s “Nebraska,” joins road trip production crew

L

Story by Ally Phillips Photo by Kat Buchanan

Movie

ast October, University of Nebraska-Lincoln film student Benito Sanchez was given the opportunity of a lifetime and he dropped everything to take advantage.

Sanchez said he has been willing to sacrifice his social and personal life to chase his dream of being a director and working on Alexander Payne’s new film, “Nebraska,” as a camera production assistant was a chance to put his money where his mouth is.

“To hear (Payne) was making a movie about your home state, and his home state as well, is very exciting,” Sanchez said.

Sanchez learned Payne was filming the movie in Nebraska long before production started. He was determined to work on the set and emailed production companies trying to contact the right one. When he finally did, Sanchez sent Payne’s production company, Ad Hominem Productions, a picture of him with the director, taken at the State Capitol from a public meeting a few years before.

Sanchez explained he would do anything to help with the production.

At about the same time, Sanchez was offered an internship through school to work on the movie. But it fell through and he was back at square one. Sanchez signed up for Senior film student Benito Sanchez got the chance to work on Alexander Payne’s new classes and attended the first couple weeks film, “Nebraska,” as a camera production assistant last year.

Alexander Jeffery, with a handful of other UNL alumni, produced the feature-length indie, “One Way.”

Film inspires audience in first screening Debut film garners private screening at March’s Omaha Film Festival shelby fleig dn Movies make us laugh and cry.

Some movies teach lessons. Others inspire us to take action in our own lives.

Alexander Jeffery’s first ever feature film, “One Way,” is proving to do all of the above.

Following a recent screening, one audience member texted his friend, an actress in the movie, to tell her the movie pushed him to move to Denver like he’s always wanted to.

“That it actually evoked change in one person, that’s the biggest compliment I could ever get,” Jeffery said. “It’s insane.”

“One Way” – just accepted for a private screening at the Omaha Film Festival – follows Stephen,

played by Jeffery, as he tries to find out exactly what he wants in life.

Jeffery and his crew of mostly University of Nebraska-Lincoln alumni and students shot the movie last summer in 13 days. Jeffery moved to Los Angeles for the movie’s postproduction, which wrapped up early this year.

Jeffery said he connects deeply with the script he wrote.

“Stephen’s arc is pretty relatable to everybody,” Jeffery said, “Feeling trapped or feeling like you could be more if you lived somewhere else.

Getting out of the town you grew up in.”

In the original script, Stephen’s journey to find himself was based around partying. Jeffery said he rewrote the script with co-writer, executive producer and actress Becky Key Boesen after attending last year’s Omaha Film Festival.

“At the end of the day, the films I connect with the most are the quiet, simple ones and I think that can be said for this movie,” he said.

UNL students jump on recent YouTube dance craze Clubs, organizations fight off laughter, post their own Harlem Shakes

Anatomy of The Harlem Shake

tyler keown dn A few bright-colored lycra body suits, a catchy bass line and more flailing limbs than a rag doll in a laundry machine.

The formula for 24,000,000 views.

YouTube user “Filthy_Frank” has been showcasing craziness on his channel since 2008. Most videos involve him and occasionally some friends screaming, dancing and throwing stuff with reckless abandon. He amassed 94,000 followers because of his antics, but remained a relatively small name among YouTube stars.

During one of his videos, simply titled “DO THE HARLEM SHAKE,” he and three of his friends found themselves pelvicthrusting along with the first 15 seconds of American trap artist Baauer ’s “Harlem Shake.” At the 16 second mark, the bass drops and Frank and his pals absolutely lose it. Some of their moves are reminiscent of “the Bernie,” a dance based on the movie “Weekend at Bernie’s.”

Posted on Jan. 30, Frank’s video took off. Within the week, the video garnered hundreds of thousands of views and inspired thousands of copycats.

As the imitations collected, the structure for the video took shape. Typically, one costumed person will be dancing in the center of a group of unphased others for the first 15 seconds of the video. When the bass drops, the video cuts to the entire group dancing and wearing costumes.

Many variations have popped up: from three firefighters dancing in the front of their fire truck to a group of people doing the shake underwater. Many of these copycats have also garnered millions of views, with three of the top 12 videos on YouTube this month being Harlem Shakes.

UNL has been no exception to the craze, with multiple videos

popping up from various clubs and organizations taking part.

Haley Whisennand, a junior journalism major, works in the athletic department as the media contact for the men’s gymnastic team. She helped to film their version of the Harlem Shake, which worked as both a promotional opportunity and a fun experience for the team.

“I didn’t even have to direct them,” Whisennand said. “We just played the music and they

did their thing.”

Whisennand said the four cocaptains of the team approached her about making the video longer than a traditional Harlem Shake spot. They felt it offered a good opportunity for publicity and could serve as a promotional piece for an upcoming meet. A couple hours later, she had the footage she needed.

When Whisennand edited and posted it, she said the team had moderate expectations for how

-Everyone goes crazy.

-You’ve learned nothing, but you are all terrific children of the internet.

many people would see it.

“We thought it would just get shared around campus,” she said.

“We never thought it would get national media attention.”

Since its posting on Feb. 18, the video has been featured on Huffington Post, CBS News, Buzzfeed, Perez Hilton’s blog and numerous smaller sites. It’s currently sitting at more than 704,000 views. Whisennand was excited about the response it’s generated.

“The video shows off the

goofy, personable side of the guys, as well as their athletic side,” she said. “It’s been fun to watch how it’s been received.”

On a smaller scale, another video was created by employees of the UNL Computer Shop. Like other Shake videos, it features the employees not noticing a dancing figure, this time someone wearing a cell phone costume, then frantically dancing after the quick-cut.

movie and hopefully recommend me for stuff in the future.”

Now, Sanchez is back in school and working on his senior thesis project. He said he’s been able to apply what he learned on the set of “Nebraska” to his film “STARVING.” “I think it’s changed my life for the better,” he said. “I (got) to see how a Hollywood picture is done, because they were using professional cameras and lights and I got to see how it was coordinated.

That’s a huge thing because I’m able to see how these bigger productions do it and take those things I observed and apply those to the movies I make.”

To help raise money for his

film, Sanchez has a Kickstarter account.

“The more money I can get, the better production I can make,” he said.

Borden said students who go the extra mile, like Sanchez is with his Kickstarter, show how much passion they have for their craft.

“It speaks to the ambition to some of our students,” Borden said.

“They’re not content to work just within the parameters offered within the program funding, but to seek outside funding as well so they can go above and beyond and create more elaborate projects.” arts@ dailynebraskan.com on twitter @dnartsdesk

UNL alumni and students, including Brian Watt, a cinematographer and executive producer. Watt is a biomedical engineering graduate student at UNL and said he uses cinematography as a creative outlet.

Watt followed in his father’s footsteps and took up photography at a young age, being recognized as one of the top 10 nonmasters in the state of Nebraska at age 12. At 19, he became a certified professional photographer.

Watt said photography and cinematography use the many of the same ideas and principles, which helped him while shooting “One Way.” “I’ve gotten pretty good feed-

Both Jeffery and Watt said working with the crew was the best part of making “One Way.” “It’s a fun environment,” Watt said. “Everybody’s on the same page, working really quickly. At the end of the day, it was awesome just being able to say you did it.”

Jeffery said the fact that most of the crew had graduated from the same class at UNL made it easier.

“In terms of shooting and making this happen, it was something we had all done before together so we were like a well-oiled machine,” he said.

Now that “One Way” has been selected for a private screening at the festival on March 10, which means no other movies play at the

back,” Watt said. “I guess I don’t know that my friends would tell me I produced a bad film, but audience members have left comments about how much they loved the cinematography.”

Shooting a feature film in two weeks was a “blur” for both Jeffery and Watt, who are roommates. Watt said they would load up his Volkswagen full of lights and cameras and equipment and drive from location to location.

Seventy percent of the movie was shot in the first week alone.

Locations included their home, a friend’s home, the Lincoln airport and Wyuka cemetery as well as a few locations in Omaha.

.

same time, the crew’s anticipation is building, as more and more people will see the film.

Jeffery said just watching the movie with an audience again will be a treat. He learns most what works and what doesn’t by seeing their reaction – something he looks forward to.

“This private screening will hopefully bring in more people (who) might not have been able to have time otherwise to see it,” Watt said. “But our goal ultimately is to get into at least a few more festivals.” arts@ dailynebraskan.com on twitter @dnartsdesk

At a time when most kids are asking to borrow their parents’ cars, Omaha student Kate Walz has already shown a collection during New York Fashion Week for the Plitz fashion show.

The 16-year-old Walz is no beginner when it comes to creating a collection.

In that short time, she has progressed into a veteran designer, having featured collections at 25 or 30 shows so far. It all began at 3 years old when Walz was just sketching dresses.

By 8 years old, Walz began sewing in the 4-H club. She said learning the sewing basics early and well is just as vital as designing the garment.

“Being able to construct a garment is really important,” Walz said. “Even if you have all these people working for you – but can’t sew the garment yourself – then you won’t be able to explain exactly what you want it done.” courtesy photo She made her first pattern at This week marks the biannual Omaha Fashion Week, and though she’s only 16, Omaha’s Kate 12 years old and started selling Walz is a veteran designer of the festival.

harlem shake: from 5 “Conveniently, the store was closed that day,” said Nick Hutchinson, a senior business administration major. “If we wanted this to work, we knew we had to jump on it fast, because this is just a fad.”

Part of the fun of the videos is seeing the variety of costumes people wear. Hutchinson took an iPad and tucked it into his hoodie to cover his face. On the screen? Nicolas Cage’s face. Another employee did the same, the only change being Sean Connery instead of Cage.

Molly Mahannah, a fellow coworker and senior journalism major, can be spotted in the back of room, dancing in footie pajamas.

“As soon as the idea was brought up, I was like, ‘dibs on the onesie!’” Mahannah said. “I apparently have no shame.”

“The reason memes, even bad ones, spread like wildfire is because they’re readily identifiable, and easily imitable,” Gauthier said. “It’s a very low-risk form of attention-seizing.”

Gauthier said part of their popularity is partly because “people just enjoy being goofy.”

“Obviously, a lot of people think it really is funny, and maybe it is,” he said. “I guess it’s just not my cup of tea.”

Enjoyable or not, the videos have made a large impact on the internet and different versions continue to pour in. All because four friends thought it’d be funny to wear tight clothing and dance.

Bow-wielding shooter game misses the mark Scenic magic doesn’t last as ‘Crysis 3’ sells out for visual supremacy nathan sindelar DN “Crysis 3” is a sharp-dressed game.

When the first title launched in 2007, “Can it run ‘Crysis’?” became the slogan for PC power fiends everywhere. The visuals astounded audiences for years and still eclipse the capabilities of modern consoles.

But with developer Crytek’s third entry, the looks alone – somehow more impressive than ever – aren’t enough to make every girl crazy.

The tale revolves around Prophet, a man hell-bent on destroying aliens and the CELL Corporation embedded in an overgrown and abandoned New York City. He also doesn’t know what he is.

See, Prophet wears a suit, not of silk, but of synthetic super human material mixed with Ceph alien matter. He is the suit.

After committing suicide in the second game, the body-enhancing gear captured his essence, ready for him to take control of whoever donned it next.

“Nanosuit 2.0” as the outfit’s called, allows Prophet to interact with the invaders’ technology, which – to the horror and confusion of his fellow sidekicks – simultaneously exposes him to the invasive alien hive-mind.

“Is it Ceph, CELL?” telegraphs a character midway through the game. “Is it even human?”

Sure, “Crysis 3” features themes of corrupt corporation meddling, what it means to be human and a soldier ’s sacrifice, but it explores each at surface level in

The Nanosuit is back – the 2.0 version – in the new third installment of the “Crysis” series. Prophet acts as the lead character in “Crysis 3” and wreaks havoc with his trusty compound bow. The game is available for Xbox 360, PS3 and Windows. dejecting self-seriousness.

The ZZ Top-infused marketing behind “Crysis 3” serves as a fitting reflection for where the tone falters. In these commercials (the soul of the series) its absurdly powerful suit, is highlighted with flair.

An invisibility cloak and bullet-deflecting armo; players’ gold watch and diamond ring; speed, power and agility; and cufflinks, top coat and hat come together at the will of each player. Their dynamic, situational uses create the

excitement that drives the game until its lackluster conclusion.

When the characters aren’t busy delivering typical dialogue, “Crysis 3” shines. The tactical depth provided by the suit’s powers and the on-the-fly weapon customization turn each environment into a playground of creativity and visual splendor. At any time during the action, players can adapt their weaponry to fit combat situations and their style preference.

The trailer for “Crysis 3”

redresses areas of the game in brighter lighting to match the charming absurdity of its no-look helicopter takedowns and dirtoff-your-shoulder swipes. It fits.

I want to play that game, not the one in which its dark atmosphere and lush settings outclass the sour storyline.

Granted, changing the tone from the previous entries would leave “Crysis 3” in a severe identity crys … situation, so executing on a challenging narrative should’ve been crucial.

While singleplayer loses its luster, even within its roughly six-hour length, “Crysis 3” features as robust an online offering as players will find anywhere.

All the persistent ranking, weapon, ability and gear unlocks that have become the first person shooter staples are present. Several maps and game types, in combination with the Nanosuit, provide fast-paced tactics and action.

One game type, “Hunter Mode,” involves two invisible,

suit-wearing hunters with compound bows tracking down and killing other, non-suit-adorned players. Once dead, those players become hunters as well, attempting to finish off the diminishing survivors. Who doesn’t love fatal hide-and-seek with bow-andarrows?

“Can it run ‘Crysis’?” is just the phrase a developer wants to surround its game. It means that title is an industry benchmark, something every other ’s will be compared to.

Once you play the game, though, the visual impact softens, leaving high-tech clothing to carry the experience. After enough wears, even the slickest outfits fade.

“Crysis 3” certainly looks sharp, but is still lookin’ for love. arts@ dailynebraskan.com on twitter @dnartsdesk

Often in the world of college sports, it’s easy to forget athletes are students as well. For members of the Nebraska women’s tennis team, they know what it’s like to not only perform on the court but also in the classroom.

“We may love playing tennis, but we know our grades come first,” senior Mary Weatherholt said.

The women’s tennis team’s academic achievements prove her point.

For the past two years, the women’s tennis team has been the recipient of the Herman Team GPA Award, which is awarded at the annual Nebraska Student-Athletic Banquet.

To attend the banquet, each athlete must have received a GPA of 3.00 or higher. The Herman Team GPA award is honored to a UNL men and women’s team with the highest overall team GPA. For the 2011-2012 season, the women’s tennis team won the award with a 3.64 team GPA. It marked their secondconsecutive Herman Award. The team hopes to receive it again this year in April.

Aside from winning as many matches as possible, Nebraska coach Scott Jacobson said the goal

Next, the Huskers are probable to play either Purdue or Illinois, depending on who clinches the No. 3 seed. Illinois’ defense fooled Nebraska when they played earlier in the year, but luckily for the Huskers, I think Purdue breaks out of its trance to secure the three-spot.

NU must beat Penn State to win Big Ten title

Dylan Talley makes a move into the Badger defense Tuesday night. Talley finished the game with 21 points, but the Badgers routed the Huskers by 31.

Wisconsin stays hot with 31-point win against the Huskers story by nedu izu

N

ebraska’s chances of playing in the postseason got slimmer Tuesday night.

The Huskers (13-15 overall, Big Ten 4-11) took a beating by No. 17 Wisconsin (20-8, 11-4 Big Ten), losing it’s Tuesday evening match 77-46. The 31-point loss was the largest deficit Nebraska’s suffered this season.

After coming back from 19 points to win against Iowa over the weekend, the offensive debacle against Wisconsin was not something Nebraska coach Tim Miles and staff had in mind.

“We were as bad as the weather here is in town,” Miles said after the game. “It

was disappointing, no doubt about it. We just weren’t ready to compete the way we needed to, to be successful.”

The Huskers finished the game shooting just 32.8 percent from the floor compared to a Wisconsin offense that converted 50.9 percent of its field goals.

The Nebraska offense appeared discombobulated from the tip-off.

The Badger offense began on a 6-0 run and stretched its lead to 21-12 after 10 minutes of play. Freshman Sam Dekker and sophomore guard Traevon Jackson racked up 13 and seven points, respectively, to head into the locker room with a 44-23 lead over Nebraska.

The Husker defense allowed six turnovers and eight Wisconsin three-pointers to assist the Badgers to a 59.3 shooting per-

team in the second half.

Wisconsin began the second half similar to the first half, breaking out to a 9-0 run before Husker senior Brandon Ubel scored Nebraska’s first points at the 14:10 mark.

The overall effort by the team appeared

Mark down March 3 on your calendar.

The Nebraska women’s basketball team has a rematch against No. 7 Penn State in the regular season finale.

In the first meeting this season between the top two predicted Big Ten teams, Penn State literally stole a win from the Huskers. And I don’t mean Nebraska got screwed. I mean Penn State’s 13 steals in the game was the difference.

I know senior guard Lindsey Moore, who is in the running for the Nancy Lieberman award for the best point guard in the nation, and greatly improved freshman Rachel Theriot will be licking their chops to get back on the court after combining for nine turnovers in the Jan. 18, match-up.

Next Sunday’s game will tell us a lot about the Big Ten conference.

Nebraska and Penn State have secured first-round byes in the Big Ten tournament, which runs March 7-10. I would have to think they’re pretty solidly set as the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds next week, but after they’ve secured the bye, seeding is far from the most important factor in a clustered conference.

Momentum is huge in basketball, though. We’ve seen that with Nebraska’s nine-consecutive victories and Purdue’s semi-meltdown in losing four of their last six games.

After March 3, somebody will be flying into Chicago with confidence and the other will enter next weekend with a black-eye.

Sure, Penn State is good – far and away the best in the Big Ten, but the Nittany Lions aren’t bulletproof.

Their only conference loss came to a sub-.500 Wisconsin squad – one of three of the Badger’s Big Ten wins. Penn State has also struggled against teams like Michigan, when it failed to put up 60 points, or Northwestern, when it snuck by with a four-point win over the Wildcats.

Still, a win over Penn State to top off an eleven-game winning streak (assuming Nebraska is able to beat second-to-last-place Wisconsin on Thursday), would be enormous for the Big Red. So this is how I see Nebraska faring in the Big Ten tournament next weekend.

With a No. 2 rank, the Huskers first game would be against the winner of, who I would guess, Iowa and Northwestern. Iowa has hit a slump, but I think the Hawkeyes will round out the regular season with a win over Northwestern, then turn around and beat the Wildcats for the second time in a week to move on.

Young women golfers go through learning phase Matt Duren dn There is always a learning curve when it comes to jumping from high school to college sports.

For seven members of the Nebraska women’s golf team, that curve has been in full effect over the course of this season.

Seven of the nine golf team members are considered freshman – four are true freshmen and three are redshirt freshmen.

Nebraska women’s golf coach Robin Krapfl has called this season a process with so many young players.

“It is definitely an exercise of patience,” Krapfl said with a chuckle. “There is a lot for these girls to learn to play the game.

There are higher expectations when you get to this level.”

Those higher expectations come from now being at a university like Nebraska. Krapfl said there is a major difference when it comes to playing in college rather than high school.

It is a bigger learning curve when factoring in more than just sports also.

As a student-athlete, the academic load is a big adjustment.

More work is expected in and out of the classroom. Sports also take a large amount of time.

Although the women’s golf team fields a very young and inexperienced team, Krapfl likes the

potential of the freshmen.

“I think the potential of the younger girls is tremendous,” Krapfl said. “I think if they put

in the work, they will be a strong group.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com
