wo members of the Nebraska Crew Club are seeking sponsors to help them row across the Atlantic Ocean in 2015.

Caitlin Miller, a junior environmental restoration science major, and George Pagano, a junior business administration major, will be the first people from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to row 3,000 miles from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean as part of the 2015 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. But first, they’ll have to raise at least $50,000.

Miller and Pagano haven’t started physically preparing for the challenge because they are racing for the Nebraska Crew Club.

Training for a regular rowing race, which is what the Nebraska Crew Club does, is different than training for a long trip across an ocean, Pagano said. A regular race is usually at a lake or river at another city or university where individuals row for a shorter amount of time, and the boats are smaller. To row across the Atlantic, the pair will have to change their sleeping

patterns, their diets and physically and mentally train their bodies to row constantly for months.

“There is a lot of mental stress because your sleeping pattern is off,” Pagano said.

Both members will take two-hour shifts while rowing for 50 to 90 days, depending on how long their trip takes.

“The fastest pair (finished in) 53 days,” Pagano said. Some people have rowed for more than 90 days.

The boat will have enough space for two

Students wear pink for professor Music educator’s son organized a T-shirt sale after she was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer Mara Klecker DN Wednesday was filled with hugs and tears for Gretchen Foley, an associate music professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

The biggest hug went to her son Mike Foley, wearing a fluorescent pink “Team Gretchen” shirt with “On Wednesdays we wear Pink” scrawled across the back.

But the 155 shirts Mike sold were more than a Mean Girls reference. They were an expression of support for the senior music education major’s mom, who now wears a gray cotton cap to hide the telltale sign of chemotherapy, the treatment that will keep her from teaching for rest of the semester.

Detected at Stage 2, the tumor in her breast and the few free-floating cancer cells around it are likely beatable. But that doesn’t make the long hours sitting under dripping fluid bags and the months reading and sleeping at home any shorter any less lonely. Her treatment and surgery are scheduled to be completed by June and Gretchen plans to be back in her second-floor office in the Glenn Korff School of Music

by August.

It was during winter break when Gretchen broke the diagnosis to her son.

“It was never, ‘Oh God, what’s

With that attitude, Mike had an idea. As a student in the Glenn Korff School of Music, he knew his mom was a well-loved professor.

He wanted to find a way to show her, have her come to work and be able to see the support she had

within the walls of Westbrook.

He designed the shirts, found a website to sell them through and started spreading the word. Within 24 hours, he had 88 T-shirt orders.

By the sixth and final day of the campaign, he had 155 orders and had raised $2,100. And he hadn’t even intended to take donations.

For his broke college friends,

Mike thought charging $17 for the shirt would be asking too much.

But the support was overwhelming, he said. He got orders from friends and family all over the world – Virginia, Texas, Canada, Australia.

Norovirus spreading through Nebraska Nam Tran DN The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services has received numerous reports of outbreaks of the norovirus spreading throughout Nebraska in long-term care faculties the past few weeks. This means that it’s probable that the virus is spreading throughout communities as well.

Norovirus symptoms are stomach pains, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Many people mistake the norovirus with the stomach flu or the stomach bug because of the symptoms they share. Other norovirus symptoms include fever, headache and body aches.

“Usually we want them to come see us if they’re getting dehydrated so you could start with home care,” said LeAnn Holmes, an advanced nurse practitioner at the University Health Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. “If you just have diarrhea and not nausea and vomiting it would be lots of fluids and what we call the BRAT diet.

BRAT stands for bananas, rice, applesauce and toast.

“It’s a bland diet that will make it easy for your colon to digest and won’t make the diarrhea worse,” Holmes said.

The norovirus spreads much more quickly than the regular stomach flu and can be transmitted in a variety of ways, including direct contact with those who have the virus, using the same bathroom or sharing food or drinks.

The reason the norovirus is so contagious is that it can survive

Speaker to address food, farming ‘culture war’ Diego de los Reyes DN A political science professor will make a case against the trend of home-grown, smallscale farming at Thursday’s Heuermann Lecture.

Wellesley College’s Robert Paarlberg will give the lecture, titled “Our Culture War Over Food and Farming,” in the Hardin Hall auditorium at 3:30 p.m. Admittance is free. A 3 p.m. reception in the Hardin Hall lobby will precede the lecture.

Paarlberg will discuss how attacks on modern farming systems can have a global effect on food production and nutrition.

The return to smaller scale systems of farming instead of the modern specialized and capitalized systems currently used damages productivity and endangers progress, he said in a university press release.

“In place of internationally traded foods, they want local foods,” he said in the release.

They will depart from San Sebastián de La Gomera, Spain, in early December 2015 but will have their families write them letters that they can open on Christmas, Miller said.

The boat will have a GPS tracker and the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge organizers will track each boat so people can follow their trip.

Miller has a family friend who is documenting their training, and each team will get a camera for when they are on the boat so they can document their challenge.

They won’t have any electronics but will have a satellite radio incase something goes wrong.

The boats will use solar panel energy to power the GPS. They plan on doing endurance training this summer and will maybe start training next fall, but that depends on if they become coaches for the Nebraska Crew Club or members who race.

neered food, they want organic food. In place of fast food, they want slow food.”

He said this “slow food” system is the norm in Africa, and productivity there is low.

Crops in Africa use fewer chemicals and genetically modified foods are not permitted.

“The average income of farmers is only a bit more than a dollar a day, and one of three people is undernourished,” Paarlberg said. “Moving away from these non-productive systems in poor counties will be more difficult if modern farming in the United States fails to make a better case for its success.”

Paarlberg has done work and research in Africa in the past, supported by organizations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the International Food Policy Research Institute and the United States Agency for International Development.

“Heuermann lectures focus on providing security in the areas of food, natural resourc-

es and renewable energy for people, as well as on sustaining rural communities where this important work is done,” said Judy Nelson, project manager for the lectures.

Speakers are suggested by a selection committee in UNL’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources to Ronnie Green, IANR Harlan Vice Chancellor, who makes the final speaker choices.

Nelson mentioned the relevance of the topic, noting that population growth and food production are linked.

“In less than 50 years, the world’s population is expected to grow by 2 billion people, from 7 billion to 9 billion,” she said. “How will the world produce enough food to feed an additional 2 billion people? It’s important to understand the challenges of providing enough food to sustain the world and to make choices now and in the future that contribute to that food security.”

cops briefs UNLPD gives two early morning DWIs

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Department cited two separate drivers with DWIs early Saturday morning. The citations occurred about two hours apart and were in the same area of campus.

Police approached a car in the south lot of The Village at about 3 a.m. after seeing the driver slumped over the steering wheel of a car. Police said the keys were in the ignition and the engine was running. The driver, Henok Belayneh, a graduate food science and technology student, appeared to have been drinking alcohol. Police said he had vomit stains on his shirt and when questioned why he was sleeping in his car, Belayneh said he was tired.

He was cited with a DWI and was transported to detox.

A couple of hours later around 5 a.m., police gave another citation to someone sleeping in a running car in the Harper-Schramm-Smith parking lot.

Police said Matt Dundis, 21, a non-student, appeared to have been drinking. Dundis was cited with second offense DWI and did not wish to talk with the officers. Dundis and his passenger were both taken to detox.

Four-car accident causes $1,500 in damage

A simple accident ended up causing about $1,500 worth of damage to four cars Friday evening.

In the parking lot west of the Lied Center for Performing Arts, a driver was backing out of their parking stall when they accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes. The bumper of the car hit two additional cars causing a chain reaction. One of the hit cars bumped a fourth car.

The driver does not have any affiliations to UNL, and no citations were made.

Police said information was exchanged between the involved parties.

Broadcasting student cited for third degree assault

A fight between three women at The Village early Thursday morning ended in the citation of one of the women.

Brianne DeBose, a junior broadcasting major at UNL, was cited with two counts of third degree assault after the fight turned physical in the courtyard between the north and south Village buildings. Police said DeBose had made comments via text message to one of the other girls, saying she wanted to fight her. One of the girls grabbed DeBose’s wrist, and DeBose struck one of the victims in the head.

A witness told police that the altercation seemed to be somewhat mutual, but the other two were not cited.

The girls each ended up with non-serious injuries to the face from punches and scratches.

Non-student creates disturbance at East Campus library

Staff at the C.Y. Thompson Library reported a disturbance on Feb. 19.

Police said Damian Delgado, a 44-year-old nonstudent, was raising his voice in the library and was telling those in the library that he was going to “put them in prison.”

When police approached Delgado at the Dairy Store, Delgado told police he was a federal judge and had been treated poorly by library staff. Police said he was very angry when being escorted from the building.

Delgado was taken to jail and banned and barred from campus.

team gretchen: from 1 will have more time to focus on the Atlantic challenge, Miller said.

Aside from training their bodies and mind, the pair is currently looking for sponsors so they can pay for a boat and the entrance fee for the challenge.

A boat that will be durable to row across the Atlantic cost anywhere from $20,000 to $50,000, and the entrance fee for the challenge is $28,000.

To get more sponsors the pair has decided to row for different causes and have created a Facebook page called “The Cranial Quest: Rowing for a Change,” to raise attention to the challenge.

Miller is rowing for suicide prevention and Pagano is rowing for Lou Gehrig’s disease.

“I chose suicide prevention because one of our close family friends took his life last fall,” Miller said. “That was really hard for me and my family.”

Pagano grandfather passed away from Lou Gehrig’s disease a couple years ago.

“That’s why our slogan is rowing for a change,” Miller said. news@ dailynebraskan.com

posed to be Westbrook, but it spread across campus and I guess the world,” Mike said. “It just shows how many people care for her and for us. It’s amazing.”

Gretchen was overwhelmed and amazed as well. Though the shirts were initially to be a surprise, Mike had to tell her of his plan when she decided she would no longer teach for the semester.

He showed her the page he had created, and together the mother and son sat down and read the 15 pages of comments.

Comments like, “I have learned so much from Dr. Foley.

She makes me smile and I’m blessed to know her,” from music graduate student Sarah Mahnken.

That support was visual on Tuesday, when Gretchen walked through the halls lined with students and faculty, so many donning those standout pink shirts.

She was led into an ensemble room, where a choir education class stood in a semicircle facing her and sang “Give Us Hope.”

“What everyone did for me and seeing the support in such a tangible way – it just bowled me over,” she said.

Originally, it was just supposed to be Westbrook, but it spread across campus and I guess the world. It just shows how many people care for her and for us. It’s amazing.” mike foley

gretchen FOLEY’S son

For both Gretchen and Mike, the outpouring of love and support represented the best of the Glenn Korff School of Music.

“The meaning of this is so hard to put into words,” Gretchen said. “It is so easy to think of this place as an institution where I come and teach and research and work, but in an event like this, I realize how close-knit this building really is.”

Mike felt the support of the school as well.

“The whole thing taught me that you don’t have to be blood related to have true members of family,” he said. “Everyone came together and formed this around

us – it’s really an extended family.”

Mike said he still has people coming up to him asking what they can do to help. Both his mom and he give the same answer: do something good and pay it forward. Hug your own mom. Volunteer. Donate to the People City Mission or St. Vincent De Paul.

If there’s one thing Mike has learned from the whole experience it’s that it only takes one person to make a difference. It’s a message he’s heard since he was a little kid but he never understood it fully until now.

“In this instance, it was one person at a time coming together

as a community,” Mike said. “We have 155 of those one-persons together and we raised $2000 for someone we love. That’s an incredible testament.”

And his mother ’s lesson?

Besides learning to express her love for others and not take any moment for granted, it’s knowing that she raised her son right.

“I know that I have the very best son in the world,” she said, reaching across the couch to pull him into a hug. “He’s always been my guy, and now everyone knows just how much he’s my guy.”

Mike hugged back and looked at his mom.

“I had a great childhood and I want to give back to you for that,” he said. “Other students had a great professor and they want to give back to you for that. People love you, Mom.” His mom assured him that the love was felt Tuesday more than ever.

“We are on a high – a love high,” she said. “This will go down as one of the greatest days of my life for sure.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

Duden shook his head and rolled his eyes during Wunrow’s response.

Other senators supported Wunrow’s request, but after an amendment to cut the allocation to about $12,000 was presented, many said they did not want to supply more money that couldn’t complete the overall goal of expansion adequately.

At the meeting, senate members also voted to approve requested funding allocations for the University Program Council, the Lied Center discounts program, the Daily Nebraskan and ASUN: $498,843 for ASUN,

$121,500 for the DN, $239,634 for UPC and $165,000 for the Lied.

The DN asked for no change in its funding. In 2014-2015, the DN will only print two issues a week and publish online seven days a week.

Sen. Cameron Murphy, a graduate student in nutrition, asked why the same amount of money was necessary.

“Student fees are more important than ever before while we make this transition,” said Hailey Konnath, editor-in-chief of the DN and a senior journalism and global studies major.

“Revenue is declining; we’ve

taken significant financial hits.”

Jeff Story, ASUN external vice president and a junior English and political science major, reminded senators that they weren’t allowed to discuss content of the DN or DailyER. The Lied asked for an increase of $25,000 to h. Bill Stephan, executive director of the Lied, said the funding would go toward a free show for a big-name artist for students, with two showings that will occur.

ASUN requested an increase of $7,994 to go toward the Big Event, the creation of a part-time attorney position in Student Legal Services and increased funding for some of its committees.

There was no debate on UPC’s budget, which was a slight decrease from last year ’s because of the elimination of summer programming. The budget passed unanimously.

Following the Committee for Fees Allocation’s passage of these budgets during the past several weeks, the senate was the next step to overall approval. The budgets will now go to ASUN President Eric Reznicek, a senior finance and marketing major, and then to Chancellor Harvey Perlman.

Emerald Ash Borer beetle threatens Lincoln’s Ash trees Tyler Williams DN

Science lecture explores evolution of chocolate Diego de los Reyes DN About 50 chocolate aficionados gathered Wednesday to listen to a lecture on the history and qualities of the famous cacao product.

The lecture was part of the “Sci Pop Talks!” series, cosponsored by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries and chemistry department and Doane College. They are intended to present the science inside pop culture.

Marilynn Schnepf, a professor of nutrition and health sciences, led the presentation inside Love Library’s recently opened mezzanine study room.

Schnepf discussed the history of chocolate. It was first used by pre-Hispanic cultures in Peru and Mexico, who called it “food of the Gods.” The original taste of the drink was bitter. The Spanish added sugar to it after traveling to the Americas.

Schnepf’s lecture followed the movement of chocolate through different countries. The English were the first to produce a solid chocolate. Giacomo Casanova considered it an aphrodisiac. And puritans from the Plymouth Colony outlawed it.

The cacao plant that forms the basis of chocolate can only be grown 15 degrees north or south of the equator, and 75 percent of the global cacao produc-

tion is located in West Africa.

The lecture was accompanied by a chocolate testing.

Schnepf passed around chocolate from different parts of the world, from the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean to Ghana and Tanzania. The tasting sparked discussion among attendees, who compared flavors and textures among the different kinds of chocolate.

A current topic among chocolate manufacturers is fair trade.

Fair trade refers to the manner the chocolate is produced and how the farmers are compensated.

“Mars has pledged to only use fair trade chocolate by 2020,” Schnepf said.

Chocolate has long been used as a remedy to various ills. Before the 20th century, chocolate was believed to make people happier and stronger, aid in digestion and stimulate the liver. Of these effects, only the first one has been backed up by studies, as it has been found that chocolate stimulates endorphin production.

She also highlighted a Swedish study published in 2009. The study monitored 1,169 heart attack patients during a span of eight years. They found that the patients with higher chocolate consumptions had a higher survival rate.

Schnepf mentioned tips to identify good chocolate. First,

it must melt in room temperature. A loud snap when breaking chocolate indicates high cocoa content. The smell must be nutty, spicy or fruity and it must have a pleasing aftertaste.

An audience member asked Schnepf about the quality of chocolate produced in the U.S. “We’re learning how to make chocolate, but we’re not quite there yet,” she replied. “We’re getting better, but we are not at Europe’s level yet.”

She also mentioned that there’s an expected chocolate shortage by 2017, due to the increase in demand.

Rachel Soukup, a senior anthropology and forensic science major, attended the lecture and expressed interest in going again.

“There are a couple that interest me, like the Harry Potter one,” she said.

Emma Erickson, a senior biology major, said her favorite chocolate from the samples provided by Schnepf was the one from Madagascar, while Soukup preferred the one from Ghana.

Each lecture in the series will tackle a different topic and will be held each week in the same location. Next week’s topic is “Chemistry to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse,” presented by Raychelle Burks, a chemistry professor from Doane College.

A pretty green beetle could soon wreak havoc on Lincoln’s trees.

The creatures are small, bright metallic green in color and have developed a taste for Midwestern Ash trees, which make up more than one-fourth of Lincoln’s street trees, according to Lincoln Parks and Recreation. The tiny invaders are called Emerald Ash Borers, and they were first discovered in the United States near Detroit in June 2002 and have since expanded across the nation being detected as far away as Boulder, Colo., and Quebec, Canada. The insects are expected to invade Nebraska soon.

“Emerald Ash Borers are typical of any kind of exotic pest outside its area of origin. It doesn’t have competition and it just kind of goes wild,” said Jim Kalisch, a professor of extended entomology at the University of NebraskaLincoln.

The Emerald Ash Borer, or Agrilus planipennis, is native to Asia and is believed to have been brought to the Americas in ashbased crates and lumber used to support cargo ships. The adult insects tend to live peacefully munching on Aash leaves; however, females lay their eggs inside ash trees, which the larvae, once hatched, use for nutrients leaving long zigzag-shaped galleries in the wood. Eventually after many groups of larvae have matured in the wood of the tree, the tree begins to shrivel and weaken, eventually dying off.

Because of the foreign nature of these insects, American Ash trees have no resistance to them.

Since their discovery in 2002, the beetles have killed more than 30 million trees in South-Eastern Michigan alone, according to United States Department of Agriculture. Adult beetles only live for three to six weeks, according to the Global Invasive Species Database, but they still have ample time to lay tree-destroying eggs.

“The trees don’t usually show symptoms until after a few years, and that gives a few seasons for Emerald Ash Borers to get established,” Kalisch said.

The symptoms that do show in Ash trees infected with the beetles are: a thinning of the canopy and

The insect has spread across the Western United States toward the Midwest. less foliage than normal, quarter inch-sized D-shaped holes in the tree bark, which the insects use to enter and exit the tree, bark that is shriveled and cracked, Woodpeckers attracted to the trees more than usual, especially to the areas of shriveled and cracked bark, and long zigzag-shaped lines just under the trees bark.

“We know at some point we’re going to have hundreds of trees dying every year, and that can be hard on a city budget,” said Mark Harrell, head of the forest health project with the Nebraska Forestry Service.

This delay in symptoms causes huge populations of the beetles to be present and leads to the destruction of thousands of trees, which need to be removed and can cost private citizens and communities thousands of dollars. Wisconsin’s Emerald Ash Borer Information Source urges communities to proactively look into removing weak and unhealthy Ash trees. This is more a cost-saving measure, by removing already old and weak trees during a long period of time instead of all at once when the beetles kill hundreds of trees in a short time span, Harrell said.

“When Emerald Ash Borers were first discovered, the federal reaction was eradication,” said Julie Van Meter, a Nebraska state entomologist. “When you talk about eradication you are saying totally eliminating the species from North America. But we soon

realized they were more widespread and in bigger numbers, leading to a change of policy to management.”

Van Meter assists the Nebraska Department of Agriculture in making sure quarantine restrictions – especially those dealing with firewood and Ash products – are well enforced.

“We talk with people to make sure they are aware of the regulations because, honestly, a lot are not,” said Van Meter.

Several different Ash quarantine policies exist in areas where the beetles have been found, including counties restricting Ash products andstatewide bans on Ash product movement.

“The unfortunate thing about this is, given enough time, basically all of our ash trees are going to be gone,” Harrell said. “That whole genus is going to be eliminated as a useful tree.”

While treatments do exist that can prevent the infestation in trees, these are usually expensive averaging an annual cost of $60 to $70 per tree, Harrell said.

Although the danger is imminent, there is no need to begin preparing Ash trees quite yet.

“The Ash borer beetle has no reason to fly a large distance,” Kalisch said. “So the comfortable distance is 15 miles, so you should be watchful, but there isn’t a reason to panic. I have an Ash tree in my yard, and I haven’t treated it.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

“This is great news for Nebraska,” said Timothy Wei, dean of engineering, in the press release. “It puts us on a national stage in an area of immense importance.”

More than a dozen UNL engineering faculty will work with the lab, with future opportunities for others to participate. “(The engineering college’s) level of success depends on how well we compete and collaborate within this consortium,” Wei said. “With our growth initiative in Omaha and Lincoln tied to industries across the state, this kind of opportunity helps us attract top-flight faculty and strengthen our research and education programs.”

UNL’s strengths in materials, nanoscience, advanced manufacturing processes and systems and computer engineering and telecommunications will be an asset to the lab, said Kamlakar Rajurkar, distinguished professor in mechanical and materials engineering, who leads UNL’s collaboration with the lab, in the press release.

What’s more, Rajurkar said, Nebraska manufacturers will be able to “directly apply this innovative R&D to reduce costs and production time and, eventually, to get their workforce trained.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

Another world

I

want to live in a world where 100 warships, costing $200,000,000, will not be properly paraded before a city too poor to feed its hungry school children; to live in a world where the opinions of long-dead grandfathers — inscribed in constitutions — will be of less consequence than the mangled arms and limbs and the destitute women and children of our factory workers; where breaker boys will not be permitted in coal mines, where it will be criminal to place little children in canneries, chemical vats, glass mills, or phosphorous factories.

I want to live in a city where the daily wages of women and girls will support life; where the lost job means something other

than the street or starvation. I want to live in a country where prostitution will not be the price we pay for our bargain-counter economics; in a country where the doors of the prison will open outward for those who have become tangled in the machinery of the modern industrial world.

I want to live in a world that hates these things, hates them so thoroughly that it will abolish them. I want to live in a world that thinks of its people rather than of business, of consumers rather than producers, of users rather than makers, of tenants rather than owners; in a world where life is more important than property, and human labor more valuable than privilege.

he earth is probably someone’s front lawn and the Homo sapiens are like little animals living between the blades of grass we call trees. It probably looks strange that we walk on two appendages we call legs. To these large creatures our little life is curious, foreign.

Well, natural science hasn’t proven this scene to be true.

But a recent lesson in another science — practical sociology — showed just how wrapped up we are in our little worlds.

After opening up our home to some women from Scotland, my roommate and I realized how ridiculously ethnocentric we are and how our day to day is just that — OUR day to day.

From the art of conversation to the art of Sheldon Gallery, it’s interesting how perspective can make the University of Nebraska-Lincoln a world or just a community.

Take conversation for instance. Like a lot of folks, I’m used to holding a conversation and doing something else at the same time. Watching television and talking. Reading and talking.

Cooking and talking. Walking and talking. Amazing.

But when I chatted with these women it was important to concentrate wholly. I had to pay attention because it was difficult for me to understand them. And vice versa.

We were speaking the same language, but spoke about foreign cultures.

I soon came to learn that my new apartment was a “terrific flat.”

That pissed was not only a slang term for anger but also a term for drunk.

I learned that adverbs sound rather quaint after the verb, really.

Fortunately, we got beyond simplistic lan-

Sexual policies censor opinion

A

professor told me I looked nice the other day. Then he quickly explained himself.

He hadn’t intended anything inappropriate, and he didn’t want his comment to be construed as sexual harassment. He spent several minutes qualifying a fourword sentence.

You look nice today.

There’s no way he could have known that I used to work with men who greeted me by grabbing themselves or humping shovel handles.

I would complete these charming exchanges with such remarks as, “You’d better enjoy it. It may be the best you ever get.”

They would grunt, snort and chortle, and someone would pay me the supreme compliment of calling me “one of the guys.”

When I first walked into the Southeast District Maintenance Shop of the Lincoln Parks Department, I had a few things to learn.

I was the second woman to work there full-time, and I was the only one at that time. They had nicknamed the last woman “Sasquatch,” because she was big and mean. They nicknamed me “Tits,” because I have an aversion to wearing bras.

I learned that, no matter how small or insignificant, a lot of men will fixate on a braless boob faster than laser beams travel.

Some of the guys in the shop reached the electrifying conclusion that not wearing a bra meant I wanted to have sex with them. Never mind that any bra that isn’t custom-made fits me like a torture device. Never mind that these self-perceived macho studs resembled missing links.

After all, what red-blooded, American woman can resist a layer of fat as big as a tractor tire hanging over a man’s belt? Show me the woman who can control herself at the sight of 3 inches of dirty butt crack.

These guys didn’t always behave like simpleminded Neanderthals. Sometimes they were extraordinarily sensitive. They very much loved their lunches, for example, and lunches were absolutely off-limits in the practical-joke realm. They also loved the pornographic centerfolds inside their locker doors.

Each morning, I got a good look at a bleachedblonde, named something like “Candy Jar,” leaning over a split-rail fence displaying her girlish parts in full color.

“That’s gross,” I would say, everyday.

“Oh, Deb, you’re just jealous,” the guys would say.

So I went out and found a frontal nude fold-out of a particularly well-blessed, animated young man, and

guage barriers and delved deeply into the differences between the world of America and that of Europe.

Michelle had a lot to say about how different the value of the family unit is between Europe and the U.S. Compared to places such as Ireland where divorce is illegal, it seemed strange to her that in the U.S. divorce is quickly becoming the norm.

While she had a strong belief in the family united, she said that self-reliance is important — that expecting too much from others leads to disappointment.

It was interesting to hear her talk about how political ideologies separated a lot of European countries and how religious beliefs — especially between the Catholics and Protestants — separated not only European countries, but communities as well.

But the U.S. and the Europeans share a lot of, sadly, common ground in homelessness and a disenchanted youth.

We also found that we and our friends sought out imported music rather than appreciating the talent at home.

Between chats, the women got to see some of Lincoln’s hot spots.

My roommate took the women to the sorority house where we used to live. They were amazed that college women could have such wonderful living conditions. One of them said this wasn’t a place for college women, but a grand hotel. The whole concept of sororities was unique to them.

It was nice for once to listen to genuine inquiry rather than sarcasm-laden questions.

Another highlight of the women’s tour of Lincoln was the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery. One woman, Michelle, said she was impressed with the Sheldon’s collection, noting how nicely the paintings and photographs meshed.

We told her that many of the students had never stepped foot in the gallery.

Michelle, shocked, said that it was one of the most impressive galleries she had seen in her North American coast to coast travels.

We assured her that people had better things to do, such as getting psyched up for the football games.

But Michelle needed no assurance, as she was able to witness Huskermania at its finest Saturday before the Baylor Game at the University Club.

She witnessed what many of the Husker virgins witness at least once they stick around the state long enough: a room full of red polyesterclad fans cheering on the Yell Squad as they squeal their cheers of “GO BIG RED.” Her reaction: “It’s shtyoopid.”

Besides the art and sports, we introduced the women to some of the more hip forms of entertainment: the bar scene or “crawling home stinking drunk.”

While they enjoyed the tour of O’Rourke’s and The Rail, they were by far more amused by the Duffy’s fishbowl, which has become an institution. The women could not get over the idea of drinking vodka and lemonade out of fishbowls with oversized straws.

I guess I was shocked at first too — but that’s because I have a backwash phobia.

In fact, I learned I have a lot of hang-ups.

Thank goodness for visitors from Scotland.

Without people like them, I wouldn’t be able to see the forest for the trees, or the grass.

deb mcadams I taped it to my locker door. Suddenly, the macho studs turned prissy.

“That’s gross,” they would say.

“You guys are just jealous,” I replied.

The shop supervisor asked me to take it down. I asked him when he was going to take down his Cushman calendar, which had photos of semi-nude women draped over utility vehicles.

He coughed and ask me not to leave my locker open.

I coughed and said “lawsuit.”

But the last thing we all wanted was a lawsuit. I needed the job. Even a lawsuit in my favor would have created an unbearably hostile work environment.

I would have been considered weak for not being able to handle the situation on my own. Our behavior towards one another would have been dictated by a policy. There were times when I would have appreciated the relief, but it also would have prevented us from knowing what the other was thinking.

I knew which guys were sexist bigots and which ones were decent human beings.

Discrimination policies are generally inadequate because they can’t change the preconceived notions infecting our society at every level. From a parks maintenance shop to the Supreme Court, men believe women enjoy sexually aggressive behavior, and women believe they can’t tell those men to go to hell.

A discrimination policy provides a structure for complaints of sexual harassment, but it doesn’t take the place of gender equity in positions of authority. It doesn’t teach young men not to have sex with young women who are too drunk to know what’s happening.

It doesn’t teach men how it feels to have their job security depend on sexual compliance.

If we don’t want to be afraid to tell someone they look nice today, we can’t rest on our discrimination policies. We have to learn how to talk to one another.

ven though my parents live in New York and I haven’t spoken to them in a few weeks, I have a pretty good idea what my mom might say about all this East German/Berlin Wall stuff: “Are you eating OK?” “Macaroni and cheese same as always, Mom.” “Well Bran’n…”

Then my dad might get on the phone and say, “Hey bud, how’s it going? Great. Let me see if your sister wants to talk to you. Hey Mandy! … Nope, I guess she doesn’t. Well, we’ll talk to you later.”

Then we’d hang up.

Next, I’d probably turn on the television and see Dan Rather near the Berlin Wall reading cue cards telling me how truly historic it is that people are chipping at the wall with hammers and crossing at will.

Then Helmut Kohl might come on and say that maybe Germany can be reunited someday, followed by Margaret Thatcher saying things are happening too quickly. She might say building a “genuine democracy” in East Germany must come before reunification or integration into the Western European community should be discussed.

Then someone smarter than Dan would interview people on the streets of London who say things like, “God help us if those people get together again,” and “Haven’t we taken enough?,” and I’d open a beer and say something like, “You got that right. You can’t trust those Germans, they drink lots of beer and stuff.”

Then, just when it looked like Dan was about to start crying for joy, I’d remember that I forgot to tell my mom I needed more tube socks, so I’d try to call back only to find that New York phone workers were on strike and I’d have to try later.

I usually try to buy my own socks, because my mom has always put my initials in magic marker on the toes, but I’m a little short of money now.

Sometimes, now that I wear Birkenstocks periodically, I’ll walk all the way to school before looking down to notice BDL staring up at me. I guess I should just be grateful my mom doesn’t put R and L on my socks.

Anyway, I’d finally get through to my parents again and my mom would ask if I wanted to come

brandon loomis home for Christmas or spring break, and she’d say she would send me some cookies with my monogrammed socks.

I’d probably hang up then, look at Dan, and start to think how vulnerable the rest of Western Europe would be if communists gained any influence at all in a unified Germany.

Imagine if one condition of reunification were that U.S. troops had to withdraw from West Germany, say all the way to France (which probably would be willing to let us do that in such a case).

Where would that leave other countries in Western Europe, which, for the most part, have been stable since World War II? Quoting someone else, I might say: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” and watch as tears rolled down Dan’s cheeks.

What if all this throws a wrench in Europe’s plans for a unified community in 1992? What then?

West Germany would like to include East Germany, and any member of the Warsaw Pact willing to reform, in the European Economic Community.

Their neighbors to the west already are arguing over whether the community should be purely an economic agreement or Europe should be totally unified in terms of political and military operations. They have enough to bicker about without communists trying to weasel their way into the deal. This could destroy the balance of power that has kept Europe in peace for decades.

Then, as Dan sniffled and signed off, I might think to myself that I hope they don’t put a wall between Nebraska and New York before spring break, between West and East Loomis. If that happened, tube socks and cookies might become more important to me than balance of power and democracy.

WADE: Music skills return for talent show Joe Wade

››Editor’s Note: Joe Wade was asked to audition for the Shen Cafe Talent show, which takes place Thursday. He signed up and was given a slot. This is the first part of a two-part series about his preparation for and performance in the show. On Friday, we will print the second part of this column, which will detail his on-stage experience.

Day 1

As a singer-songwriter, signing up for the talent show at the Shen Café was easy but maybe too easy. All I had to do was give them my name and my contact info. Then, they called me back and gave me a time to play: Thursday at 6 p.m. There was no audition, no awkward interview and nothing to worry about except finding where I put my guitar since the last time I played it a couple years ago.

Just kidding, I keep it under a stack of old Daily Nebraskan issues.

mike rendowski | dn

Day 2

I spent most of last night

playing through songs and running around town to buy a new guitar tuner. Who knew they go bad after 15 years?

Picking out the right song is the hard part, for me anyway.

I have enough time to play either one long song or two short songs at the show. The trick is choosing something that will entertain the audience but not be so complicated that it’s impossible to get polished in a few days.

The good thing is playing guitar is like riding a bike; it’s all muscle memory. But watching my cat cover its ears as I run through the song “Tammy” by Debbie Reynolds isn’t a good omen. Learning to play the kazoo might be my best option at this point.

Day 3

Stupid midterms are this week, and I lost most of my practice time to studying. In the back of my head, while reading line after line of academic theorems, I can’t help but notice my guitar is just sitting there.

It’s staring at me, and I’m getting that familiar funny tingle of wanting to play.

I forgot how much I like the feeling of excitement before a show, but I still don’t have my set list picked out. However, I do have a small list of candi-

dn dare

DN writer dares to pick up dates at health center

mac wall dn This may be one of the strangest things I’ve ever been employed to do. I’ll mow lawns. I’ll hand food out the drive-thru window while trying not be bothered by toddlers staring at me with wide, unblinking eyes from their car seats. But, for some reason, it is now my job to pick up girls from the popular social hotbed that is our University Health Center.

I was dared to, and now I am bound by pride to do it.

Thomas Jefferson followed through when he dared to write the Declaration of Independence.

Al Gore didn’t back down when he was dared to invent the Internet. So it fell upon me to uphold the honor of the dare.

Perhaps we should back up a bit. This article arose out of a new series were doing at the Daily Nebraskan where writers take get dared to do something during the following week. Then, as you might expect, they do it.

Just to preface: I volunteered before the dare was decided.

And suddenly I had to pick up girls at the University Health Cen-

ter, which is a veritable gold mine of loneliness. My goal was to drop some classy pickup lines, and flirt a little. My other option was to just literally pick them up, like with my hands. But that’s illegal, and I don’t want to touch sick people.

First things first, I needed some ground rules. Whoever I decide to work my magic on needed to like dogs, good music and long evening strolls. And probably my girlfriend, too. I also needed to be well prepared. That’s not easy either.

There’s no dating site for hooking up with sick singles in the waiting room, although there should be (SinglesWithShingles.com?).

While Christians get ChritianMingle and farmers get FarmersOnly, I’m on my own. I checked webMD. com, and there isn’t a dating app there either. The closest thing they have is the “Sexual Conditions” tab, and that did far more harm to me than good. I realized that there’s only one reliable source of relationship knowledge, and that’s mainstream entertainment.

If television is to be believed — and it is — then picking someone up should be easy. Since I needed to go to the health center anyway, I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone. One thing that was still bothering me, though, was what the hell to do if my pickup lines actually worked. I pondered this all the way to the health center, expecting it to be easy. I’d just mingle with the many patients I expected to be waiting. In a college of 20,000-some students during cold season, it had to be easy. It wasn’t.

Immediately after walking in, I realized how much I didn’t actually want to do this. I have absolutely

no experience and just as little desire to bother strange women as they wait for cough medicine. But I needed to visit anyway, and this wasn’t going to write itself. After two minutes of browsing through outdated magazines in the waiting room, I decided to try my luck on the girl coming in the door. Leaning back in my seat, I scratched my head in a way that accentuated my biceps and waited for her to pass by.

“Hi,” I said as suavely as I could muster.

“Hi,” she said, without stopping to give me her number.

This was proving to be difficult. At that point I would have followed her, but (a.) I still didn’t feel like trying very hard, and (b.) when lurking in a government facility to pick up strangers, it’s best to keep a low profile.

So, I met with my doctor, got my prescription ordered and decided to pick it up later to give myself another shot.

Attempt number two fared better. I was waiting for my prescription and struck up conversation with the girl across from me.

All seemed to be going well. I was pickuping my heart out when the pill cashier-pharmacist called my extremely masculine name.

“Pick-up for Mackenzie,” he said.

Although I would never introduce myself with my full name, I figured the pill cashier couldn’t have done that much damage to my chances. The girl’s sister could even have the same name as me.

That could be an icebreaker.

“Are there any side effects to this?” I asked, gesturing to the bag

And that was if any girls were even there. I es. There was muffled giggling coming from behind me. The pill could either give up or start interrupting couples with pickup lines cashier had proven to be a terrible wing woman. I decided that I discovered on Google. None of my potential digestion issues these options were appealing.

I decided to go back one last wouldn’t make good small talk time, but my heart wasn’t in it. At and left to sulk.

Having spent a good chunk of this point I was considering droptime at the health center already, ping cheesy pickup lines on whoI was starting to resent it. First of ever was in there, just to say I tried.

UPC brings British comic to UNL UPC schedules British comic Gina Yashere to electrify UNL students at Thursday comic night vanessa daves dn The University Program Council will host a free comedy night featuring Gina Yashere in the remodeled Nebraska Union Crib Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

Yashere is a British comedian who has been featured on TV shows such as “The Tonight Show” and “Live at the Apollo.” She recently won her fourth award for “Best Female Comedian” at the Black Entertainment and Comedy Awards.

Yashere currently lives in Los Angeles. She has been traveling internationally for her comedy tour throughout the year.

UPC decided to host its first comedy night in several years because of recommendations and requests from students. At the end of every UPC event, members pass out a survey asking students what kinds of things they want to see from UPC in the future.

Comedy nights were a popular response, so when it came time to plan the events for the year last fall, UPC decided to give it a shot.

“I think people have been missing (comedy nights) so we

decided to bring it back,” said UPC Public Relations manager Nora Williams.

Joe Grobeck, the UPC entertainment chair, said he expects a good turnout for the event.

“It’s the first event in the remodeled crib and the first comedy event we’ve had in a while, so I’m really looking forward to it,” he said. “We’ve been spending quite a bit of time planning, and we’re hoping things go well.”

UPC knew about Yashere’s comedy act from a previous convention for UPC hosted by the National Association of Campus Activities. It’s an annual event where programing councils from different schools listen to speakers to prepare for the upcoming year.

Every year, UPC sends a few of its executive members to the convention at the beginning of the calendar year.

Last year, the convention was in St. Paul, Minn., and Yashere performed there. It was a hit with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln UPC members who attended, so they got in contact with her agent and set up a time for her to come this year.

“I think it’s a good opportunity for students because, being in college, you don’t have a lot of money to spend, and the event is free,” Williams said. “So it’s a good option for something to do that you don’t have to spend money on. And it exposes them to different kinds of entertainment that is different than something they would normally go to.”

Gina Yashere is an internationally known comedian. She will perform in the Nebraska Union Crib Thursday night at 7:30 p.m.

To promote the event, UPC has been posting videos of Yashere’s comedy on Facebook and Twitter. They have a booth in the union with a joke wall where people could write their own jokes.

Yashere’s show will last about an hour, and Grobeck said he’s hoping to see 100 to 150 people in

attendance.

“I think it will be a good event because it’s our first comedy event in a few years,” Grobeck said. “If this goes well, we will definitely have more comedy events in the future.” arts@ dailynebraskan.com

Film’s dramatic arc lacks catharsis jack forey dn Memory is incredibly subjective — something you think you remember clearly could be remembered differently by another person. In the next few days, you may remember this review differently than I wrote it. Or you may forget it altogether.

In Asghar Farhadi’s “The Past,” memory is explored through several characters caught up in a web of betrayal, infidelity and suicide. Farhadi’s previous films “About Elly” and “A Separation” both explored dysfunctional family dynamics and communication breakdown. With “The Past,” he explores those themes even further. This is the work of a director trying to show us something deeply personal through perhaps she didn’t.

Perhaps she did;

I said I needed to ask about my prescription, got a nurse’s number and went on my way yet again. I walked back trying to think of how I could finish up my story when it clicked. I’d been going about this all wrong. Of course flirting was a terrible idea at the health center, and that was something I’d known from the outset. But there was a way to salvage this. Yes, out-front pick-up lines are not going to work in an atmosphere where everyone is sick and impatient, but networking will.

Specifically, networking with your grandmothers.

Am I charming ladies’ man?

Probably not. Would your grandma like me? Absolutely. My pickup inexperience coupled with the fact that I have a girlfriend does not bode well in a setting where there is a five-minute window to flirt before the staff starts to question my presence. And that’s on the off-chance that a girl, or anyone for that matter, is even there.

But with my haircut and arsenal of nice sweaters, I can charm the shit out of your grandmother. So when you ladies go home this weekend, visit your grandparents.

Call them if you have to. You can expect to hear about the nice boy your grandma met this week at the health center. However, if one of your older relatives happens to work there, expect to hear about the creepy kid with the sweaters who spent the whole week loitering and reading free brochures. mac wall is a freshman journalism and political science major. reach him at arts@ dailynebraskan.com

and is dedicated to giving back to the community. Mara Schwarting, a UNL senior advertising and public relations and marketing major and marketing executive for the LisaMom Foundation, a part of Enactus, believes that’s what makes the café a good fit for Thursday night’s show.

“One of the interesting things about Shen Café is that it’s very socially responsible; they’re always giving back to the community,” Schwarting said. “And that is kind of in part because … Peter Sam was in Enactus, and that’s what Enactus is all about. When he graduated, he started Shen Café, and so it’s kind of close to all of the Enactus people since Peter was in the group with us for a long time, and he has carried on that social entrepreneurship with Shen Café.”

But let’s get real for a second.

Personally, I didn’t like it. I know it’s a good film — it takes a lot of directorial talent to get these kinds of performances from actors, especially the children — but it left me cold. It’s a brilliant drama with a script that balances multiple interconnecting story threads without becoming convoluted, but similar to “The Broken Circle Breakdown,” it amounts to little in the way of a point, a message or a catharsis.

Maybe that’s not fair. The point seems to be to explore the relationships of these particular characters. That’s all fine and good, but the result is unrelentingly dreary. Dreariness is fine, but denying the audience a catharsis is something that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Then again, because this film is so realistic, by its nature it shouldn’t have a catharsis. Real life doesn’t have one.

It’s important to remember that not all films are entertain-

ment; some are just meant to be a personal statement. Farhadi went through the trouble of finding enough money to get this film made, then spent who knows how many hours working with the actors to get the performance he wanted out of them, to send the message he wanted to send, because it meant something to him.

Freshman puts school over MLB aspirations Outfielder Ryan Boldt, drafted in 22nd round by Red Sox, focuses on academics at NU Josh Kelly DN It’s only two weeks in, and Husker baseball has already seen a glimpse of what kind of player Ryan Boldt is.

The freshman outfielder is one of four players who have started all seven of the Huskers’ games this season.

Between the first two weekends alone, coach Darin Erstad has already noticed how Boldt has adjusted to college ball.

“The first weekend, I saw a freshman out there, maybe not as aggressive as he can be at the plate,” Erstad said. “It was fun watching him through the second weekend. His tempo in the outfield picked up, his aggressiveness on the bases. At the plate, you could just see the confidence starting to build, and it was fun to watch.

“The second weekend shows how you can adapt quickly.”

Boldt, a Red Wing, Minn., native, was drafted in the 22nd round of the 2013 MLB Draft by the Boston Red Sox. He was also the first player from Minnesota to be named to Team USA’s 18-year-old and under team since Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer.

But after losing to Nebraska, Wisconsin and Michigan, Michigan State has been dethroned from the top of the conference.

Injuries are hurting the team more than anything, and one of the few players who have been consistently on the floor scoring points is sophomore guard Gary Harris, who is averaging 17.9 points per game. He is just behind Nebraska’s Terran Petteway for the title of highest scorer in the Big Ten.

4. Ohio State (22-6, 9-6)

The Buckeyes continue to prove that they belong toward the top of the Big Ten, winning six of their past seven games. Ohio State made a huge statement in its last matchup against Minnesota on Sunday, when the team outscored the Gophers 46-18 in the second half. The amount of wins they have right now is enough to cement the Buckeyes into the Big Dance as a No. 6 seed at the lowest. Still, a win against Michigan State in the season finale wouldn’t hurt its resume at all.

Coach Tim Miles says he loves the noise that has come with the team getting a whiff of the NCAA Tournament, and it definitely showed in Nebraska’s two games after the Michigan State win. The Huskers won by at least 13 points in each game, and sophomore forward Terran Petteway is making a clear case for conference player of the year, averaging 26 points in the past three games. Nebraska will have to keep winning to make a better case than Minnesota, who just beat Iowa in a high-scoring battle. But the Huskers did not help their case Wednesday, losing by 11 at Illinois.

8. Purdue (15-13, 5-10)

Despite a great defensive performance in the beginning of the first half, the Boilermakers were dominated by Nebraska for the rest of the game in the 76-57 loss at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Setting the tone early for them in that game was sophomore center A.J. Hammons, who had four blocks in the game and was able to keep the Huskers in check in most cases. After falling on a buzzer-beater against Michigan on Wednesday, Purdue will attempt to stay above a .500 overall record, as the next two games will be against ranked teams.

NU to shoot for conference title Husker rifle team to enter conference championships after school-record air rifle performance Sunday Riley Bowden DN The Husker rifle team has come on strong as the season winds down, and No. 4 Nebraska looks to carry that momentum in to the Great American Rifle Conference Championships, which begin Friday in Oxford, Miss.

The team is coming off of a school-record air rifle performance on Sunday at the NCAA Qualifiers in Kentucky. The air rifle squad shot 2,361, helping the team to a second-place finish with an overall score of 4,678.

Coach Stacy Underwood was pleased with the record-setting performance but wants to make sure the team focuses on the present goal.

“The best thing to do after a big weekend is reset,” Underwood said. “We have to remain humble and disciplined. We are only as good as how we perform on this specific day. We are where we are now because we never focused on the past or the future. It is one of the strengths of this team.”

The team is concentrating on this weekend, but freshman Lauren Phillips has felt a boost in confidence from the perfor-

improved with Underwood’s guidance. She not only led the team to a third-place finish in the conference championships last year, but she also returned the Huskers to the NCAA Championships for the first time since the 2009-10 season.

Nebraska has risen from as low as No. 11 to earn a top-5 ranking and has lost only two matches this season. Those two losses have come at the hands of two conference foes: Kentucky and West Virginia, who along with Nebraska make up three of the nation’s top five squads.

Underwood is well aware of the competition in the league.

9. Indiana (15-12, 5-9)

Give the young Hoosiers some credit. They made a huge statement in the first half of their Tuesday-night matchup against Wisconsin, leading the game 29-19 at halftime on the road.

One of the major aspects that led to a Wisconsin win was the foul trouble Indiana was having. While the Hoosiers went to the line three times and converted on two of them, the Badgers made 22 out of 24 opportunities at the line, which was enough to win the game.

10. Illinois (16-12, 5-10)

After a 39-point performance against Ohio State at home, Illinois bounced back against Minnesota, defeating the Gophers 62-49. Freshman guard Kendrick Nunn was on fire that night, hitting five 3-pointers to give his team the edge. Nunn was also the Illini’s top scorer in their victory against Nebraska on Wednesday. Don’t expect the fire to continue, though. Illinois’ last three games are against Michigan State and Iowa on the road and Michigan at home. It will be tough for the Fighting Illini to be above .500 when the season is all said and done.

11. Penn State (13-14, 4-10)

Defensively, Penn State gave up at least 80 points against Iowa and Nebraska. The only player who seems to be getting production is senior guard Tim Frazier, who is top 10 in the conference in points per game and first in the conference in assists per game. Penn State has to win three games to be above .500, and it’s going to be nearly impossible against Ohio State, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

12. Northwestern (12-16, 5-10)

Northwestern had impressive wins against Wisconsin and Minnesota toward the end of January, but that’s where the train stopped. Since then, the team has lost five games in a row entering a road matchup against Nebraska on Saturday. Things aren’t looking good with junior guard JerShon Cobb out for the rest of the season. Cobb was averaging 12.2 points a game, the second-highest average on the team.

Without Cobb, it’s clear that the Wildcats won’t be putting up a fight in the remaining three games.

Nebraska cut into the lead a couple of times, getting it to as close as eight points with less than two minutes to play. But it wasn’t Nebraska’s night.

The Huskers beat the Wildcats at Evanston, Ill., earlier this month.

It was the first road win of the season for the Huskers.

Sophomore guard Shavon Shields drives in Nebraska’s home game against Illinois on Feb. 12, when he scored a career-high 33 points. On Wednesday night at Illinois, Shields scored only eight points and committed four turnovers as the Fighting Illini beat the Huskers, 60-49.

erran Petteway turned his shoulders, saw his defender back up and rose into his jump shot.

The ball clanked high off the back iron of the hoop and fell into the hands of an Illinois defender.

It was just that kind of night for Petteway and the rest of the Nebraska men’s basketball team Wednesday in Champaign, Ill. The Fighting Illini (16-12 overall, 5-10 Big Ten) used strong offensive rebounding to knock off Nebraska 60-49, ending the Huskers’ (16-11, 8-7) five-game win streak.

“We had some guys not show up tonight,” coach Tim Miles said in a postgame interview. “I’m not sure we were ready to be tough and gritty tonight.”

The Illini set the tone right from the opening tip.

They corralled 4 offensive rebounds in the game’s first eight minutes, setting up two 3-pointers. That seemed to be a theme throughout the night as the Illini finished the game with 11 offensive rebounds and 15 second-chance points.

Nebraska recorded 3 offensive rebounds and 4 second-

Team England bowler brings talent to NU Sophomore Bethany Hedley, who found passion for sport outside London, competes for Huskers Kimberly Merk DN In 2012, Bethany Hedley was bowling for Team England in Germany, when her team manager came to her in tears. Fearing something bad had happened, Beth asked, “Oh, my gosh. What’s wrong?” Her team manager replied with news that would change her post-high school plans: Hedley and her teammate had been offered scholarships to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

“I didn’t know where Nebraska was,” Hedley said. “I’ve always wanted to go to school in America.

It was always a little dream I had in my head.”

Hedley hails from Watford, England, on the outskirts of London, where her older brother Daniel had an influence on her bowling career. She started bowling with her brother and family when she was 6 years old. As she got older, it became more of a social aspect to her life.

“I never used to have a love for it,” Hedley said. “I kind of used to go just to hang out with my friends.”

Hedley’s passion for bowling started while attending a bowling tournament.

“We had a tournament near my house, and the people I saw there were really, really good, and something just kind of clicked inside of me that I really wanted to bowl,” Hedley said. “So I went up to my coach and I said, ‘Look, help me

“I felt like we were just pressing, trying to make plays,” Miles said. “We just didn’t handle their defense very well.”

Of course, the story of the night was Petteway’s struggles.

The Big Ten’s leading scorer at 18 points a game couldn’t find the basket, shooting 5-for-18 from the floor for only 13 points. He also committed 3 turnovers.

Sophomore guard Shavon Shields also struggled to score, putting up 8 points after going for a career-high 33 in the first meeting against Illinois.

“I could tell they were visibly frustrated,” Miles said.

The game remained close, though, for most the night.
