LETTERS FROM THE EDITORS

Dear readers,

If you didn’t go to the Career Fair last week, shame on you. On top of a busy week last week, I helped 100-ish employers meet and greet with students at the fair. Specifically, I and other members of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln speech team have worked four days a year loading and unloading boxes, banners and corporate swag so that businesses can meet with UNL students. If you saw a bunch of cold-looking students in front of the Nebraska Union at like 7:30 Tuesday morning, that was us. All for you. Despite now having aided in eight different career fairs, I’ve never attended one. In journalism, finding an internship or a job is kind of like “The Hunger Games.” You send out applications to dozens of different news outlets hoping that one will like your resume and clips and call you back. If you dodge the automated rejection emails, oftentimes you still have to fight through a pool of talented applicants to secure the spot. It’s really stressful, and you inevitably spend several months with a allegretto heart rate, a double-shot latte and/or an IPA and crippling self-doubt. For myself, and most of the Daily Nebraskan senior staff, we’ve survived our “Hunger Games,” and have something lined up for the summer. It’s weird to me that other students don’t have the same amount of intense competition for entry-level jobs, and to think that employers would actually take their time to come to college campuses and sit at a booth waiting for literally anyone to stop by. Journalism is a hyper-competitive field, and most journalists are feisty and competitive by nature, so the process is fitting. I know events like the Career Fair produce results. There’s a reason why so many employers come, and one of my good friends got a 9-month electrical engineering internship from a fair.

Maybe it’s just my personality that makes me averse to anything “schmoozy,” but I’m not above networking when I have the chance. This summer, I went on a “free lunch tour,” meeting with journalists from nearly every major news organization to get some advice on getting in the field. In a way, I guess the real world was my career fair. If you’re lucky enough to not have to fight for a job, go for it. Chances are it isn’t anything you’d expect, but you have all the agency to find it.

East Campus embodies Nebraska heritage JUSTIN PERKINS DN Driving past the commotion of 27th Street, past the run of Middle Eastern grocery stores, checkered housing grids, gas stations and chain restaurants, there comes a break in this bustling stretch of road. Here at 33rd and Holdrege streets, the horizon begins to open a little: The landscape starts to roll back, the trees stretching out like gothic figures, the golden swelling of bushes and plants beneath. Soon, you’re drawn into a tangle of concrete paths, to a skyline of brick and stone buildings reflecting the sun as they would on top of a country field. They house sophisticated research labs, food production facilities and compounds for livestock. Rows of greenhouses stand at center, silver ribs pointing to a sullen creek called Dead Man’s Run, where the last perimeter of freshly tilled cornfields are capped by two sets of weathered grain elevators and train tracks. Here is East Campus, 342 acres of land in the heart of Lincoln, dotted with gardens and prairies and buildings new and old, a stretch of Nebraska earth that once bore the moniker “The Farm.” Today, entering East Campus is almost like walking onto a canvas. It’s a cross-section of a small-town community, an eclectic combination of rural and urban elements with the rigors of academia and research on a global level. It’s a testament to Nebraskan heritage, tinged with culture from around the country and the world. Over time, as the city of Lincoln has crowded around its perimeters, East Campus has held on to its natural beauty and small-town ambiance. A cultural tradition – call it Nebraska Nice, midwestern hospitality or what have you – resides here. “On campus, it’s easy to forget that you’re in a relatively large city. It has that feel of a small community, where you can walk into class and know over half the people there and feel comfortable to sit next to anyone,” said Steve Waller, dean of the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. “Our academic pace is fast as anywhere else. But it’s the social pace of it all that seems to slow down and allows a little more time for people to stop, give you a smile and ask how you’re doing.” Originally set in a stretch of prairie east of Lincoln in 1873, the campus was created as an outgrowth of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. A stone outside the Nebraska East Union, etched with the year 1914, bears the name of its original commission as a “Farm Campus.” Throughout its history, however, the campus has grown well beyond this designation. By the 1960s, the campus quickly began to encompass higher levels of research and diversified areas of study in science and technology and was renamed East Campus. The campus now houses areas of study such as food science, agronomy, biological systems engineering and even professional schools of dentistry and law. A faculty member since 1978, Waller has wit-

nessed the endurance of a commitment to personal relationships among students, administrators and faculty members alike. “In the past, we brought students straight from our farming and ranching communities,” Waller said. These students brought the atmosphere of a small town, Waller said, where each person has a sense of loyalty to the people around them and everyone tends to know each other by name. Waller often recalls a quote he once heard from a student in CASNR: “On East Campus, you don’t have to worry about a door slamming in front of you because everyone holds it a little longer to make sure you can grab it.” With the global reach of CASNR’s faculty and research programs, the college has even grown to include several international students across 14 different countries. Flags from 12 different countries across five continents even line the inside of the East Campus Union, each representing countries that host CASNR’s study abroad programs. “Now, our students come from all over,” Waller said. “We’re getting students from out-ofstate and from across various urban areas, with many who don’t have that ag background.” For Levi McPhillips, who grew up in Columbus, Nebraska, and split time between life in town and weekends on a family ranch, East Campus was essential in his decision to attend UNL. “It felt more like home,” he said. For many of UNL’s students who come from backgrounds in farming and rural communities, East Campus provides a kind of microcosm of small-town life combined with opportunities to be involved with professors’ research on a national and global level. The East Campus Union is widely known as the “living room of east,” where its dining hall promotes homegrown and home cooked meals through UNL’s Good Fresh Local program, which uses food products produced either at East Campus or at the numerous research and extension facilities of the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Now a senior animal science major and animal science student ambassador, McPhillips said having an outlet to apply the scientific knowledge he’s gained to the more practical means of working with livestock has been unparalleled in his education. What’s more, meeting students from similar backgrounds and interacting with animals every day has eased McPhillips’s yearning for life in the country. In her time as an animal science student ambassador, Maci Lienemann said students are often drawn to the benefits of a smaller and separate campus that has the resources and opportunities of a large university. Both Lienemann and McPhillips said that despite the agricultural or rural perceptions of East Campus, there is a wealth of collaboration among a large span of fields of study at East Campus. “At the same time the campus is very advanced,” Lienemann said. “We have state-of-the-art

facilities and world-renowned professors to learn from and who practice some of the most advanced methods in the industry and be on the cutting edge of new discoveries In E.coli research on East Campus for example, food scientists, animal scientists, biochemists and horticulturalists have looked at a common subject using each of their specializations to help solve global problems such as food sustainability and water safety. “The professors aren’t just teaching, they’re out there making big discoveries and they’re willing to let you get involved and be a part of it,” Lienemann said. With smaller class sizes, professors have the room to get to know students personally. This echoes back to the roots of East Campus, when it was small enough that faculty doubled as advisors for students. “I’ve had several professors, maybe even

around 10, who have really helped me personally,” McPhillips said. “They’re invested in students’ lives well beyond what they need to. I wouldn’t have been as successful as I was as a student if I didn’t have that freedom to explore what I was passionate about.” Across the soft grades and rolling meadows of East Campus, time seems to slow down a little. There’s a little more room for it to settle, to lie down in the walks of the Maxwell Arboretum, and like a daydream, trace its infinite arc along the stretches of dry prairie grass and native plants. The air breathes a little smoother. You can listen to it filter above in the clacking of branches and the leaves’ rustle. “It’s not that we’re any better than City Campus or greater in any way,” Waller said. “Here, there’s just a different look at things.” NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

The Nebraska East Union opened on January 17, 1977. The East Union has many different amenities, including a bowling alley and a health-conscious concessions stand.

NIC opening signals change for East Campus BAILEY SCHULZ DN With the completion of Nebraska Innovation Campus nearing, East Campus is set to undergo a culture change – and a facelift – in the coming years. Within the next three years, construction of a new residence hall and recreation center and renovations to the C.Y. Thompson Library will change the face of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s largest campus. Meanwhile, the Food Science and Technology department will migrate to the NIC. All the while, East Campus will stake its identity in a fast-growing agriculture program, the graduate colleges of law and dentistry and the variety of other science-based disciplines hosted on its 342 acres. “We really are crunched for space on campus with all of our new programs,” said Ronnie Green, the vice chancellor of the Institution of Agriculture and Natural Resources. “We’ll be refilling that space with a lot of the people that we already have, in addition to renovating the first floor of (the library) into a new classroom complex.” University officials say the food science department’s migration from the 60,000 square-foot Food Industry Building to NIC will create new opportunities for East Campus students. More than 200 and faculty staff will move along with the program. “For the food science department moving out, it’ll add more capabilities for students and greatly expand the food processing pilot labs and the capabilities in those,” said Dan

Duncan executive director of NIC. Rolando Flores, a professor and the department head of the Food Science and Technology program, said he looks forward to having the food science department move to the Food Innovation Campus and believes the move will help other East Campus programs. “There’s a lot of excitement over what’s going to happen here on East Campus,” Flores said. “The fact that we move and we leave this building, that means other units are going to have facilities to operate.” Flores, who also served as the director of the food processing center, has been working with UNL for close to nine years. He said he looks forward to the major changes in store. “It’s just going to go forward,” Flores said. “This is going to be a great opportunity, it’s a great move. We see our program enrollment among graduate students increasing, we see opportunities to work with industries closer, so then there will be opportunities for additional funding, for more graduate students.” Green said the budget for the 15 different ANR programs is the highest it’s ever been, with about $80 million in research expenditures last year. To compare, the program was allotted $72 million in 2012. “The needs in those areas are all pretty high-priority areas relative to food security and natural resource security around the world,” Green said. “We’re one of the leading institutions in that area in that world.”

The Larsen Tractor Power and Test Museum has been part of University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s East Campus since 1998. The museum was originally a tractor testing laboratory, which helped to establish power and performance standards worldwide beginning in 1919.

4 hidden gems of East Campus you probably didn’t know about MELISSA ALLEN DN In the early 1870s, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln bought an expansive plot of land east of Lincoln. “A purchase of a well improved farm at a moderate distance from the university was effected,” the University of Nebraska Board of Regents wrote in an 1874 report. “The farm contains 320 acres, for which $55 an acre was paid. The farm is well adapted to the purposes of the College, and is in a high state of cultivation.” The land was developed to house the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, and the beloved “state farm” became East Campus in the mid 1900s. Now students, faculty, staff and the public can enjoy the campus’s University of Nebraska-Lincoln Dairy Store and the Nebraska East Union’s Lanes ‘N Games. But East Campus is also home to a few lesser-known nooks.

1. GARDENS:

The gardens of East Campus are more than just for aesthetic. The Backyard Farmer ’s Garden, the Ruth Willsie Evasco Demonstration and Teaching Garden and Kiem Hall Courtyard all serve as teaching devices and are joint projects of the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, the Friends of Maxwell Arboretum and UNL Landscape Services. “They’re truly hidden jewels,” said Emily Levine, special projects research horticulturist with the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture. “People, the whole

community, should come to East Campus and see the horticultural wonder, the outdoor living museum.” The gardens are grown with minimal chemicals and rely on compost made on campus for fertilizers. The courtyard consists of shrubs, native and introduced plants and a turtle pond. The Evasco Garden has perennial flowers, shrubs and a bee hotel to foster local bee populations. The Backyard Farmer ’s Garden features annual flowers, vegetables and herbs. Vegetables grown at the site are donated to local food banks. “There’s not a day someone isn’t out (in the garden) asking questions,” said Terri James, extension assistant in urban gardening. Anyone is invited to request a tour, Levine said. “There’s a whole other level of enrichment one can get if you know the story behind the plants,” she said.

2. LOFT GALLERY EXHIBIT

The Nebraska East Union’s Loft Gallery presents monthly artistic displays. This month it features Abe Jackson’s “Fragmented Thoughts on Mardi Gras” exhibit. Jackson, a New Orleans native, recalls his memories of Mardi Gras parades in his fourth exhibit at the gallery. “Mardi Gras is really a two-week celebration,” Jackson said. “Every night, there’s a parade somewhere in the city. It’s just an amazing experience, and if you’re an artist, it’s like being in a super candy store. You never know what you’re going

DN to host off-campus housing fair Wednesday JACOB ELLIOTT DN

The Daily Nebraskan will host a fair Wednesday for students seeking off-campus housing. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., students can learn more about Lincoln’s housing options in the Nebraska Union Centennial Room. More than a dozen Lincoln-based leasing agencies will be present at the fair. These businesses will market their housing, from single-room apartments to houses and inform students on off-campus living. Businesses and complexes at the housing fair will include: • Latitude • 50/50 • The Links • Canopy • The View • Prime Place • IRET Properties • Parkhaus “It’s important that students know that there are a ton of different opportunities for students for off-campus living,” said Penny Billheimer, advertising manager for the DN. “These includes houses, condos and apartments, and each will provide a unique experience for the college audience.” This semester ’s theme for the fair is

Candy Land. The various booths will be colored according to the classic children’s board game. There will be music, candy and giveaways, and sudents will be able to vote for which booth was the best. The winner will get a free piece of advertising on the DN website. “All the different apartment complexes, such as the Latitude and 50/50, will be set up there,” said Rosalind Ray, marketing manager for the DN, “You can stop by the tables and talk with the apartment complexes and the staff there. There will be drawings for different giveaways, four flat screen TVs and gift cards and things like that, just to thank the students for coming in.” Alongside the housing fair, the DN website now has a housing directory. For more information on the DN directory, go to http:// www.dailynebraskan.com/housing/ “We want everyone to come by and visit our booth,” Billheimer said, “There are new complexes opening in the fall. As enrollment increases, so do housing opportunities. As those housing opportunities increase, there are a lot of variances that they can compare to: Location, price point, do they have a pool, all of that stuff. All that information will be available for them.” NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

The 50/50 is a relatively new housing option for students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The apartment building attracts students with many amenities, including a gym, tanning beds and an outdoor social area with multiple grills.

Luxury student living comes at a cost JUSTIN PERKINS DN With the addition of Latitude Apartments and Prime Place to Lincoln’s housing landscape next fall, students will soon have access to an even more extensive network of housing options. The complexes join similar apartment buildings in Lincoln, such as the 50/50 Apartments and Parkhaus in promoting luxury student living. Offering access to amenities such as tanning beds, skyline views and state-of-the-art recreation facilities, the new buildings offer students’ fast-paced lives a chance to slow down and unwind when they return home. But they come at a cost. When the building opens, apartments at Latitude will cost between $699 and $1,174 per student, per month. Managers say the amenities are worth the price. Dave Brown, general manager for Latitude Apartments, 235 S. 11th St., has seen the shift to apartment-style living as evidence of

a change in the rhythm of students’ lives over time. “We’ve seen that students’ expectations coincide with the demanding amount of work they receive from universities,” Brown said. “They want everything to be there when they come home, when it’s their one chance to finally relax and sit down.” The housing complexes aim to maximize students’ overall well-being by combining luxury, privacy and location in an effort to compete with the demands of the school day. Brown said having access to things like a weight room, game rooms and general recreation areas – all in one place – makes a significant difference for students who wouldn’t have the time to travel for these offerings otherwise. The View apartments, which has served students in Lincoln since 2001, has worked over the years to adapt its living experience to students’ requests. “We really look to cater to student’s needs and try to stay in touch with the things they want,” said Nick Valle, assistant general man-

ager for the complex at 301 West Charleston St. This student-focused approach to housing has attracted students of all ages and class standings, from sophomores to grad students, Valle said. Along with a dedication to students’ wellbeing, apartment complexes have also worked to help students balance their educational goals with their social needs. As a resident of Parkhaus, Karli Havekost, a senior hospitality, restaurant and tourism management major, said along with personal space, a balance of community connection makes a difference. With her roommates, Havekost has been active in the community events that Parkhaus hosts. “It’s nice to get to know the people you see and pass by each day,” she said. “But it’s also nice that in Parkhaus there is a space specifically set apart for studying.” Bill Spilker, a sophomore computer science major and resident of the 50/50 Apartments, said the biggest value for him has been the location.

“It’s great when you can have the benefits of living off-campus while still being able to wake up 10 minutes before class,” he said. Aside from the useful amenities, there are also the simple details that have caught students’ attention. On the Latitude Apartments social media page, Brown has found a surprising trend, students are excited about the views. “Everyone’s been talking about the windows,” Brown said. “It’s something we never thought was a draw, but it’s the one thing students can’t wait for.” Brown said this could be attributed to student’s need to have a sense of a personal space. Over his years of working at similar apartment complexes, Brown said he commonly sees students attracted to the feeling of having ownership over their residences, seeing them as a way to escape the bustle of modern life. “For me,” Spilker said, “it’s been great as a middle ground between living in the dorm and living completely on your own.” NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

STUDENT VOICE: WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT LIVING OFF CAMPUS? Unless you’re a freshman, you have a choice. It really comes down to alcohol and parking. We asked people about the benefits of off-campus living. COMPILED BY CHAS BOGATZ

“There’s no point (to living on campus). People are constantly everywhere.” LESLI ALEXANDER senior psychology major

“I actually have privacy and space rather than being smashed in with a bunch of college kids.” TONY KITT

“I like having my own home. I have no idea about dorm living.” JUSTIN CASE junior german major

sophomore physics major

“I get to choose when I’m on campus. I can limit distractions at my house. It feels like real life – except it’s not.” JEFF STORY

“It’s cheaper. There aren’t any rules. In the dorms, you have a bunch of people living around you. I feel that it gives me a little more freedom.” BECCA STOUT junior biochemistry major

senior english and political science major

3 easy, affordable DIY kitchen decor ideas You don’t like your food bland and boring. So why should your kitchen be? Sprucing up your cooking space is easy. ERIN MANSUR DN Once you get a kitchen of your own, you realize how much your life revolves around it. Friends mingle. You’ll sometimes sit on the counter eating a tub or two of ice cream and your mom will come over to take inventory of your food and personal problems.

With so many social interactions happening in the kitchen, you might look around and think, “woah, my place is bland.” Fortunately, it’s very simple to spice up your kitchen’s decor.

1. INDOOR HERB GARDEN

Herbs are probably the most practical plant you can keep inside your house. Even if you’re not using them in a recipe, they help deter bugs and freshen the air. You will need: A pot: Pots can be found on Craigslist and at thrift stores or supermarkets for less than $3. Herb/s: Herbs vary in prices depending of the time of year and where you go. Trader Joe’s always has some for less than $5. Dirt: If you want to transplant your plant into the pot, you will want to pick up a little

bag of dirt or soil from your local gardening store. This can cost you anywhere from $1 to $8, depending on how much you get.

2. REFRIGERATOR MAGNETS

You’re already always looking at your refrigerator; why not put the blank space to work? Magnets can hold up important notices such as bills or invitations so you won’t forget about them. You will need: Plain magnets: Found at a local craft store for about $4. Personalized stickers: Found at your local craft store between $1-$4. Whether you really like Batman, flowers or Batman in flowers, you can create a magnet topper that is fun or professional. Adhesive: Glue or crafting tape will do. Both can be found at a local craft store for between $4$10.

3. INSPIRATIONAL FOOD QUOTES

You could even call this a food policy. It can be any type of quote that you think personifies your kitchen. Sayings such as “let them eat cake” or “beef, it’s what’s for dinner.” You will need: A canvas: This can be sheet-style canvas from an art store or any surface that you can paint on. It can be a plank of wood, windows or plates. Really, it can be anything. It can cost anywhere between $1 and $25. Paint: Most likely you will use acrylic or washable. You can find a variety of paint at any art supply store, in turn you can find a variety of prices. ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

FUTURE: FROM 5 Flores said this research money is coming from having high-caliber faculty who attract funds from sources such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Flores said the Food Science Department at UNL is also one to be proud of. One thing that sets the program apart is its pilot plants. There are currently three on East Campus, but the NIC will hold five. These pilot plants house equipment that can be used to produce samples and test product formulas or food ingredients. They help save companies money and time in showcasing ingredients or bringing finished products to the marketplace. One example would be East Campus’s

Dairy Store, which has been on East Campus for close to a century. These pilot plants help students in the food science and technology field in their studies and in preparing for future careers. But that’s not all they’re good for. “We don’t have our equipment here just to show and tell to the students. We’re actually manufacturing products here for industry,” Flores said. “If you go to any other university that has a food science program, you will see equipment, but not to the state of the equipment that we have here, and that our equipment is rented to industry.” With new opportunities on the horizon for the program’s move to the NIC, Flores is

optimistic about the program’s future. “We think sincerely that we can be the food capital of the world, not only because we produce the food, but because we will be able to transform that food,” he said. In addition to the food science program, the agriculture program is seeing growth as well. “It’s growing very rapidly, and we expect that to continue for some time,” Green said. “We are the single fastest growing part of the university across the board if you look back at the past decade.” With all of this growth in the past couple of years, East Campus staff expects to see even more changes to come. “I expect we’ll have some additional new

building construction on the campus,” Green said. “In particular there’s been discussion about a new facility for early childhood education that would likely be located on East Campus.” Although the campus will evolve in future years, that doesn’t mean it will lose more programs to the NIC, Duncan said. “I don’t forsee another department moving out to Innovation Campus,” he said. “Maybe some faculty from some departments, but it’s really hard to tell. We never envisioned moving an entire department out there three years ago, but that’s just kind of the way things worked out.” NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

BUILDINGS: FROM 5 to get into.” Jackson discovered his love of drawing after entering a Catholic seminary to study priesthood when he was 14 years old. “At some point, I realized I could express myself by drawing,” he said. “It just developed more and more, and I saw another priest doing that too. So that gave me the OK that it was a valid thing to do.” After leaving the seminary at 21 years old, he moved to Los Angeles then back to New Orleans. He has been a data analyst for Boys Town village in Omaha for 25 years. The exhibit is about Jackson’s lingering thoughts he has about Mardi Gras, although he hasn’t been down to New Orleans to celebrate it since his move to Nebraska. “It’s for people to think about, ‘What is this about?’ for those who don’t know much about Mardi Gras,” Jackson said. “The last piece is broken glass. You know, when the party’s over, and there’s broken glass everywhere? Party’s over, but gosh, that’s a great piece of glass.”

3. TRACTOR MUSEUM

The Lester F. Larsen Tractor Museum was established in 1998 to maintain the original Nebraska tractor testing facility. In 1919, The Nebraska Tractor Test was the first of its kind in the country. The museum now contains gasoline-powered tractors from the time of the facility’s founding through the late 20th century. It sits adjacent to the university’s current testing facility. Visitors can learn about the history of gasoline-powered tractors, how they were tested in the facility and the influence they had on agricultural technology. Right now, the museum is developing a tractor testing files library that will be on display as soon as the files are shelved. Most of the museum’s visitors are elderly, said Mark Nicholas, museum tour guide. “They’re all retired farmers, and they come through here to remember tractors like they had when they were kids,” he said.

4. THE INSECTARY (NOT OPEN TO PUBLIC)

The insectary on East Campus contains insects to be researched and experimented on, containing pests such as stable flies, termites and bed bugs. Currently, Ralph Narain, postdoctoral entomology research associate, is studying the effects of different drugs on bed bugs.

A student holds a millipede at Entomology Hall on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s East Campus. Students who take entomology classes interact with various species of insects, including spiders, beetles and wasps. He feeds them with blood donated by the Nebraska Blood Bank and includes alcohol, caffeine and ibuprofen. He then analyzes the drug effects on their breeding and eating patterns. “It’s important to learn the biology of bed bugs because they affect a lot of people,” Narain said. Research is also being conducted on the

effects of certain pesticides on termites. “Termites causes billions of dollars in damage expenses,” Narain said. “ They hurt the value of homes, so we’re looking to ways to control them.” Dennis Berkebile has been working in and out of the insectary for about 30 years. “It was an old building when I started working here,” said Berkebile, a research

technician for the US Department of Agriculture. Berkebile is breeding and studying stable flies, which are major cattle pests. “We do most of our work in the field,” he said. “You can’t really do much this time of year, so we work in the lab more in winter.” NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Huskers drop 3rd straight to Purdue NICK WILKINSON DN

The Nebraska men’s basketball team fell to the Purdue Boilermakers in West Lafayette, Indiana, Sunday night 66-54. Nebraska is now 0-6 on the road in Big Ten Conference play this season. “I think the inability to not separate early in the game hurt us again,” Nebraska coach Tim Miles said. “I thought we had some quality shots that couldn’t connect and then we would foul too much and that’s when you get into some trouble.” The Huskers led the Boilermakers early in the first half with a pair of threes while the Boilermakers managed to make only 1 of their 6 shots. Late in the first half, Nebraska trailed 21-16 as junior guard Terran Petteway led the Huskers with seven. Juniors Shavon Shields and Terran Petteway finished with a combined 32 points against Purdue. Nebraska started the game 3-3 shooting but went 3-16 late in the first half. NU trailed the Boilermakers 26-20 after they missed nine straight threepointers throughout the half. The Huskers were down 16 and then scored seven straight to force a Purdue timeout. Shields scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half. “(Shields) just looked like a different cutter coming off, and we decided to ride him for a while. He did an excellent job,” Miles said. “Till we put more weapons on the floor, we have to rely on performances like (Shields) showed when our bench is going 2-14 like they did tonight.” With 5:05 left in the game, Nebraska surged back to bring the game within nine, 58-49, as Miles implemented the full-court press for the rest of the game. Miles said the full-court press didn’t work and his team couldn’t have performed well with the loss. “They shot 50 percent in the second half so that doesn’t equate to great defense,” Miles said. “You’re not going to win when you’re going to al-

low a lot more shots than your own team shoots. If you lose, then you never played great defense in my book.” Offensively, Purdue had 18 rebounds and three double-figure scorers. Nebraska trailed by 10 with two minutes to go until Purdue’s Dakota Mathias scored his second 3-pointer of the night to stretch the lead to 64-51. “The big boys have almost 90 turnovers on the year, so I thought we could double the post and then the risk you run is giving up the open three and the rebounds,” Miles said. “We needed bodies in there, and the inability to do a lot at once hurt us. It’s about multiple efforts.” Miles said his squad needed to come out and shoot after the halftime break when they were only down six, but didn’t. “We had to come out in the second half, and we just didn’t do it,” Miles said. “We really missed some easy shots inside and that’s disappointing, obviously.” The Huskers are now 13-12 overall, 5-8 in the Big Ten, and will travel home to prepare for Maryland in College Park, Maryland, next Thursday. “It doesn’t get easy in the Big Ten,” Miles said. “Every night we have to go out and battle and that’s what we intend to do.”

TRACK AND FIELD

Track & Field gains confidence at Tyson Invitational SETH KORTE DN The Nebraska track and field team was back in action this weekend. Various runners from the Nebraska men’s and women’s track and field teams competed in the Tyson Invitational, while others competed at the Iowa State Classic Friday and Saturday. The Tyson Invitational, held on the campus of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas, always boasts one of the nation’s most competitive meets. That seemed to be no problem for the Huskers, as both the men and women posted impressive individual marks. For the men, the day was capped off with an

outstanding performance in the 4x400 relay, consisting of juniors Jake Bender, Levi Gipson, sophomore Drew Wiseman and junior Cody Rush. The team ran a season-best 3:06.02 to take over the top spot in the Big Ten Conference and earn a fourth in the nation ranking. In the 400-meter dash, Bender ran a PR with a time of 47.14. Bender was excited to see his progress this season. “Getting a PR is always a great feeling knowing that I am getting faster and faster each week,” he said. Rush also placed ninth in the event with a time of 46.69. For the women, junior Nikita Pankins highlighted the weekend by posting the top Big Ten

Conference mark in the women’s long jump with a leap of 24-7. Her teammate, junior Reka Czuth leaped a PR mark of 20-1. Czuth said she remained focused on what she could control. “My teammates jumped in the flight after mine, so I could really focus on myself. After I got my PR on my first jump, I was just focused on jumping further and further and pushing myself,” Czuth said. Senior Ellie Ewere set a new personal best in the triple jump, with a jump of 42-6 while Junior Mollie Gribbin also earned a PR in the event at 41-1 3/4. Seeior Brittany Johnson set a PR of 24.22 in the 200 meters and currently ranks in the top 20 in the Big Ten. At the Iowa State Classic, the Huskers were led

by their triple jumpers and the hurdlers. Junior Sean Pile had a time of 8.04 in the 60-meter hurdles to finish third, and freshman Morgan Smith had a time of 8.81 to finish fifth for the women. In the 400 meters, freshman Sam Bransby ran a PR time of 48.22 to place seventh. Freshman Haley Harsin posted an impressive 2:12.56 in the women’s 800 meter to place first in her section of the event. With that mark, Harsin currently holds the best time for the 800 meter on the team this season. The Huskers have one more tune-up meet before heading to the Big Ten Indoor Championships. The next meet will be Friday at the Bob Devaney Sports Center Indoor Track.

An in-depth look at athletes’ majors In light of heightened interest in student-athlete’s academics, the DN broke down the most common majors in NU athletics CHRIS BOWLING DN For as long as people have cared about college sports, they’ve debated what it means to be a student-athlete. On one level, it means an equal pairing of academics and athletics. But in reality, as college sports culture continues to grow and universities search for a way to gain an edge on the competition, sometimes one of those halves outweighs the other. In October, an investigation of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill proved that from 1999 to 2011, thousands of student-athletes took bogus classes to maintain eligibility. Students were signing up for lecture-style classes that never met and handing in a single research paper where the quality was irrelevant – everyone usually got B’s or A’s. And even though this is one of the largest examples, it’s not the first. In 2009, the NCAA stripped 10 Florida State teams of scholarships and vacated two years’ worth of victories. As of Jan. 21, the NCAA is investigating 18 more Division I schools for academic fraud. In light of this wave of interest in student-athletes’ academics, the Daily Ne-

braskan wanted to look into what the most popular major among student-athletes is. To find the answer, we looked through all available information on Huskers.com and the student directory to compile a list of every athlete and their major. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is an ideal candidate to study because it’s generally held in high regard for producing the most academic All-Americans in the country – 314, as of the 2013-2014 school year. The closest competition is Notre Dame (238), MIT (220) and Penn State (186). The three top majors among student-athletes are exploratory (undeclared), business administration and psychology. Exploratory was the most by a fair margin and accounted for 14.93 percent of all student-athletes. The Husker football team has 22 exploratory majors, and the track and field team has 10. The percentage of undeclared student-athletes is almost three times the percentage of undeclared UNL students: 5.41 percent of UNL students are undeclared. Business administration is the second most popular major for student athletes, accounting for 10 percent of the total. The football team leads in that category as well, with 20 business majors. The baseball team has eight. The business administration major is twice as prevalent among student-athletes than it is in the total student population. But what about unpopular majors? There are 67 student athletes who don’t share their major with any other athlete. And out of those 67, there are 10 that aren’t closely related with anything else (business administration is closely related to business

Husker senior guard Tear’a Laudermill glided past Wisconsin with 20 points, five rebounds and a career-high seven assists.

Huskers bounce back against Badgers CHRIS BOWLING DN Pink spotlights blended with a sea of red and white as the buzzer rang out and the final score read Nebraska 70, Wisconsin 63. It was Think Pink day, in honor of breast cancer awareness, when the Husker were able to snap a three-game losing streak and start looking better for the NCAA tournament just around the corner. The Huskers racked up an early lead, advancing to 17-7 on seven Badger fouls within the first seven minutes. They continued to widen their lead by 11, then 13 with 9:30 left to go in the game. But the momentum swung toward the Badgers in the last eight minutes and they battled back to trail Nebraska by three. A foul in the closing minutes that had assistant coach Shimmy GrayMiller on her feet and shouting inaudibly over the angry crowd set the Badgers up to take the lead for the first time. Nebraska was able to muscle its way back to the top and lead 33-32 at the end of the half. Both teams ended the half shooting 40 percent from the floor. The beginning of the second half was back and forth with neither team pulled away from the other until Nebraska went up by six, five minutes in. They widened that gap to 10 with 12 minutes left and by six, had a commanding lead of 15. The last few minutes were filled with drama as Wisconsin rallied to fill the deficit but fell on their heels at the hands of an aggressive Husker defense and their own turnovers. Senior guard Tear’a Laudermill iced the Huskers’ lead by making two consecutive free-throws to put the final score at 70-63. Coming off three losses in a row, Laudermill,

who ended the game with 20 points, said the Huskers’ message coming into this game was to end the losing streak. “We told ourselves, ‘We’re not losing four in a row,’” Laudermill said. “We are not losing four especially on our home court.” Wisconsin head coach Bobbie Kelsey said one big reason her team fell short was a combination of 20 Wisconsin turnovers that resulted in 23 Husker points. Injuries were a problem too, but she’s not making excuses. Both teams played hard, but hers came up short. “It’s a game of runs and it’s a game of momentums,” Kelsey said. “Sometimes it’s on their side and sometimes it’s on your side. But at the end of the day it’s about who has the final punch.” The Huskers came out on top despite junior guard Rachel Theriot’s continued absence due to an ankle injury that head coach Connie Yori said has a high likelihood of needing surgery. Senior forward Hailie Sample, who’s had nine treatments on her ankle in the past two days, played through the injury and came out with the only double-double in the game. Yori said seniors were a big reason the Huskers were able to walk away with a win. Like Laudermill, Yori also said it was an important morale booster to win against Wisconsin but this game meant a lot more in the grand scheme of things. She hates saying any game is a must-win, but this game was important. “I thought this was a critical game for us, not because we lost three straight but because of what we have coming up,” Yori said. “We’re fighting for a NCAA tournament bid and this was a big game.”

Wrestling sends off seniors with dominant victory STAFF DN The Nebraska wrestling team won 8 of 10 matches on its way to a 30-6 victory against the Stanford Cardinal on senior night. Eight seniors were honored before the dual Friday, including All-Americans James Green and Robert Kokesh. No. 3 Green, a three-time All-American, won his match against senior Josh Lauderdale 23-8, earning his second-straight dual technical fall after taking down Lauderdale 10 times. Green was the first Husker wrestler on the mat as the dual began with his 157-pound weight class. Junior Austin Wilson suffered one of the two Husker losses on the night. In a rematch from last year’s dual at Stanford, Wilson lost to No. 14 redshirt sophomore Jim Wilson at 165-pounds. Wilson beat Austin Wilson last year in Stanford as well. Two-time All-American and No. 1 senior Robert Kokesh remained undefeated after his major decision against redshirt freshman Keaton Subjeck. Friday marked Kokesh’s third-straight major decision in duals. He also notched his 132nd win as a Husker, one away from a tie for third-most all-time for any Husker wrestler. The Huskers defeated the Cardinal for the second time in two years and in rematches from last year went 1-1. No. 12 sophomore Tim Lambert defeated Stanford reshirt junior Evan Silver for the second straight year at 125-pounds after junior Austin Wilson lost 6-3 to redshirt junior Jim Wilson. Other Husker notables are redshirt sophomore T.J. Dudley and junior Anthony Abidin. Abidin is undefeated in dual matches this season at 13-0. He defeated Stanford freshman Mason Pengilly 6-1 on Friday. Dudley extended his dual win streak to seven with a win against Stanford redshirt sophomore Ryan Davies. The win on Saturday extended the Huskers dual win streak to eight and keeps them undefeated in duals in the 2015 calendar year. The win against Stanford was coach Mark Manning’s 199th career victory. That mark puts him at a tie for first in all-time victories as a Husker head wrestling coach. Tim Neumann, Manning’s

Senior All-American Robert Kokesh won in major decision to remain undefeated Friday.

predecessor, has 199 wins as well. Manning took over for Neumann after the 1999-2000 season. Last season, Green and Kokesh both earned Big Ten Championships in their weight classes and will be

top contenders at this year’s Big Ten Championships. Kokesh is the top-ranked Big Ten wrestler at 174-pounds, while Green is the third-ranked wrestler in the Big Ten at 157-pounds.

Power of Pink inspires women’s gymnastics over Minnesota LAUREN BROWN-HULME DN The No. 7 Nebraska women’s gymnastics team received an overall score of 197.075 to secure a win against Minnesota Saturday night. Nebraska coach Dan Kendig said this was no doubt the Huskers’ best away meet of the season so far. The team scored more than 197.00 two weeks in a row at “pink” meets, which were aimed at raising breast cancer awareness. “Maybe we should compete for breast cancer awareness every meet,” Kendig said. “I say that in jest, but at the same time, I know that (it) rallied them a little bit in the sense that they wanted to compete to the best of their ability for everyone that they knew who had or has cancer. They made a purpose out of it, and it seemed to work out.” Senior Jessie DeZiel said the greater number of weeks practicing in the gym is what caused the Huskers to deliver such a strong performance

against Minnesota. “We’re trusting our teammates more because we see what they do every day in the gym,” DeZiel said. “Just being more confident with each other helped.” The Huskers began on bars with a score of 49.125. DeZiel led the way by matching her season-high score of 9.90. Sophomore Jennie Laeng and freshman Grace Williams both recorded 9.85s, which was a career high for Williams. Freshman Danielle Breen earned a 9.775 while junior Hollie Blanske and senior Jennifer Lauer finished the event with 9.75s. “We had our best performance on bars this weekend,” Kendig said. “But we’re still not where we need to be. We’re going to get back in and work hard and make that happen too.” Nebraska then moved to vault, delivering a score of 49.425. DeZiel went first on vault with a 9.925, earning her the event title. Laeng followed with her season-best of 9.90. Blanske and Williams

scored identical 9.875s while senior Desire Stephens and sophomore Ashley Lambert earned 9.85s. Next the Huskers took to the floor and posted a score of 49.225. DeZiel and Blanske’s 9.875 scores began the lineup. Williams’s 9.85, freshman Kamerin Moore’s 9.825 and Stephens’s and Lambert’s 9.80s rounded out the rotation. Nebraska delivered a 49.30 in their performance on beam. Senior Jennifer Lauer earned a season-high of 9.925 that tied her for first in the event. Blanske was awarded a 9.875 and DeZiel a 9.85. Breen and Laeng scored identical 9.825s to finish. Kendig said he believes the beam is what will set the Huskers apart from other teams this year. “I’m so impressed with what beam has been doing in the sense that it is a tough event,” Kendig said. “It’s four inches (wide) and four feet off the ground. But we have a tremendous beam team that’s getting better and better.” DeZiel ended with a total score of 39.550, earning second place overall. Blanske received third in

all-around, posting a 39.375 score. DeZiel said she believes the team is strong on every event, despite what scores may sometimes say. “We had a lot of energy,” DeZiel said. “I would say we’re strong on every single event. We might have not put it together yet on certain events, but we’re really strong on all four events. I think we just have to peak at the right time in the season when we need to.” Kendig said this winning meet was a confidence booster for the team, but that there are challenges to come throughout the rest of the season. “There were a lot of great routines, but having said that there’s still more in store for Nebraska,” Kendig said. “ I know we’re still right now in the middle of what we want to do. But if we get better every meet, I think we can accomplish what we’re trying to accomplish this year.”
