LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear reader, I don’t have much going on in my life. I’ll be honest, I’m pretty boring. I work, go to school, watch Netflix, hangout with my friends and occasionally go the gym (not to brag). However, I’m a senior now, and the real world is coming at me fast. Soon, I’ll no longer be able to live on my parents’ dime. I need to get a real job – full-time, salary – the whole nine yards. So, the one thing that really gets me amped up these days is applying for jobs. I get to live in my own little fantasy world each time I apply for one. I imagine myself in that city. I plot out where I’m going to live, who I’m going to live with and what trendy millennial bar I’ll go to on Saturday nights. Each application represents a different dream, and I get an odd amount of satisfaction when I make it to the next round of the process, especially when it comes to the interview. I think I’m in the minority here, but I love job interviews. Can’t get enough of them. There are not many things that make you feel better as a 21-year-old than when you nail a job interview. It’s awesome when you leave a room and you’ve just convinced someone to give you a salary.
Seriously, how cool is that? You can get a company to give you money by using nothing but your words. So, I really do think job interviews are fun. Think about it, everyone loves talking about themselves, right? The way I see it, a job interview is just a 30-minute conversation where you get to tell a potential employer how great you are, and personally, I think I’m great. That’s called confidence, ladies and gentleman. So, I guess my message here is don’t be afraid of the future and the job hunt. Embrace it. Everyone does it at some point in their lives. You might as well enjoy it. Happy job hunting,

Lincoln women join in day of mass demonstration

Feelings of hope and even rebelliousness reverberated through a crowd of over 2,000 activists Saturday afternoon as adults, children and even dogs marched through Lincoln. The Women’s March on Lincoln was one of many marches, as hundreds of thousands of demonstrators gathered in cities around the globe to protest a number of issues ranging from President Donald Trump’s inauguration to restrictive legislation on women’s health, namely Planned Parenthood. Several members of the crowd wore pinkknit “pussyhats” to represent the power women have in groups. Other activists dyed their hair pink and/or made picket signs including
“You haven’t seen nasty yet.” One sign had a hand-drawn rose, the flower petals curling into the shape of a fist with the words “Resistance is futile beautiful.” The group assembled in the courtyard at the Nebraska Union Memorial Plaza at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. All races and age groups were represented. One person stood on a bench and led a chant saying, “Yes we can, yes we will.” Many UNL students, faculty and staff participated in the march, including Liz Husmann, an administrator on campus at UNL. Husmann said she joined the march because she thought President Trump’s election was “atrocious” due to his controversial election campaign. “He said a lot of disturbing things on
his campaign trail, and I think we’re not quite sure what he said is going to follow through,” Husmann said. “The challenge is going to be organizing and being constructive in how we face whatever challenges he may throw our way.” Husmann was joined by Tatem Gordon, an administrator in the city of Lincoln. Gordon said the march was a good way to bring the community together to deal with the tension the country has been experiencing. “I think it’s just really important for all of us to come together,” Gordon said. “Men, women and all demographics, and tackle all the issues together.” At 2:05 p.m., the crowd moved to the south entrance of the Nebraska Union and began to march to the Capitol. Several pe-
destrians stopped to watch, and a few drivers honked their car horns in support, waving at the crowd. Members of two fraternities, whose houses are across from the Nebraska Union, showed their support for President Donald Trump as demonstrators moved from UNL campus to the Capitol. A small group of Phi Gamma Delta members stood on the upper deck of their fraternity house across from the street and hung Trump campaign banners. They sang the national anthem and shouted, “Build that wall.” Alpha Tau Omega members waved from their roof and played music such as Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” Some march participants reported lewd comments as they made their way past the fraternity house. ATO could not be reached, however the International Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta said Sunday it is investigating the alleged conduct. “Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity takes seriously the allegations regarding behavior of some members of our chapter at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln,” the fraternity said on its Facebook page. “The behavior that has been alleged is contrary to the values of our organization. We will be working with the chapter leadership and alumni advisors to investigate.” Activists then marched down the sidewalks on Centennial Mall. Several individuals broke from the crowd to direct traffic at each intersection. Police finally arrived to form a barricade to stop traffic after the crowd filled into K Street. Rev. Karla Cooper, pastor of Quinn Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Lincoln, spoke to the crowd first. She encouraged those in attendance to participate in political discourse in order to voice their concerns. “We can never go back to how it used to be,” Cooper said. “We constantly have to keep moving forward.” Cooper also said democracy allows people to come together and “make a place that’s better for everyone.” The American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska Executive Director Danielle Conrad spoke next, saying “Civic engagement doesn’t stop, nor start, at the ballot box.” She called for the activists to work together and encouraged public engagement.

Lincoln youth hold MLK-inspired rally Noah Johnson dn staff writer
On Aug. 28, 1963, over 200,000 Americans convened in Washington, D.C., for a political rally that would become a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement. During the rally, known as the March on Washington, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his historic “I Have a Dream” speech. The speech encapsulated King’s ideals of peaceful coexistence and equality. Thirty-one years later Leola Bullock was looking for a way to present the dreams of the late King to the Lincoln community. To accomplish that, Bullock called together a group of adults and youth to hold the first ever Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Youth Rally and March in Lincoln in 1994. The march inspired a tradition that has continued for 22 years, and it was most recently held Saturday. Bullock’s idea for the rally always centered around sharing King’s message to the youth. Nowhere is this more apparent than simply examining how involved youth are with the planning and execution of the rally. Each rally is planned and facilitated by youth from across Lincoln. For some this was their first rally, but for others like Lincoln High School freshman Azcia Fleming this rally has become embedded in their life. Fleming was introduced to the rally when she was in the 4th grade. Ever since then Fleming has been hooked. “I really like the learning aspect of the rally,” Fleming said. “Being able to educate my peers with the information that I get from these rallies is something I always look forward to.” Fleming opened the rally with Lincoln East High School senior Micah Wilson. Wilson and Fleming began by quoting famous Civil Rights Activists such as James A. Baldwin, Nelson Mandela and King. Wilson continued by stating that, since the rally’s inception in 1994, the goal of the rally has been to honor King’s dreams as well as inspire, entertain and educate those attending the rally. “The committee seeks to promote the dream of King through positive youth action within our community,” Wilson said. Fleming said the youth of the past worked
to shape the world we have today and were inspired by King’s dreams. “Today, as youth, we must never forget his dreams and make changes today that shape and make the world better for the next generation,” Fleming added. “We can not afford to wait, the shaping of our future starts today.” While Fleming and Wilson noted that youth today do not face most of the same challenges as those who lived during the Civil Rights Movement, they made it clear that these problems have manifested themselves in a new, modern form. Wilson and Fleming are fighting against issues such as the achievement gap, racism, discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community, mass incarceration, police brutality and gender inequality. Fleming concluded the presentation by asking the audience to ask themselves what issues they are passionate about and how they plan on standing up and speaking out on these issues. “How are you going to be the comet that impacts the sky?” Fleming said to conclude her speech. Lincoln High School sophomore Sophia Olson attended her first youth rally last year. Olson is now a member of the planning committee that organizes the youth rally and attributes her involvement to the program’s inspiring message. “The message is really powerful and that’s what drew me to the rally,” Olson said. Olson also spoke during the rally on Saturday. She opened her speech with a quote from King: “If I can not do great things, I can do small things in great ways.” However, Olson told those in attendance that action is required in order to do these things. “You are necessary to stand up for injustice in times when it is unpopular,” Olson said. “You are the freedom fighters of today needed to march for issues such as police brutality, sexism, and racism.” Olson also said change is not possible overnight, rather those willing to take action must work relentlessly to make these dreams a reality. Olson then addressed educators and teachers in the audience asking them to be mindful that while they are shaping these students, they are shaping the future.
“We can not afford to wait, the shaping of our future starts today.”
connor rodenbaugh | dn “Treat each of your scholars with fairness, love, and high expectations,” Olson said. Olson also challenged educators to acknowledge the achievement gap within classrooms. Olson defined the achievement gap as “the gap that creates depths in education because of skin tones.” “Teachers, take a look in your classrooms and for all students, love with high expectations,” Olson said. Olson then acknowledged parents and guardians within the room. Olson asked parents and guardians within the audience to act as a friend to their children as well as hold them accountable. “Hold us accountable as we grow, even
when we struggle to follow Dr. King’s values,” Olson said. Finally, Olson addressed all scholars within the audience. “Understand that today’s actions impact our tomorrow,” Olson said. “History has shown that we carve a path that we want for our future and our children’s future.” Olson concluded by stating that the path to this future is a long one but she hopes that once it is reached, the future will be one of fairness and equality. This youth rally comes just a day after the inauguration of Donald Trump as President of

Student jobs will remain despite hiring freeze Sarah Wontorcik DN STAFF WRITER
kenneth ferriera | dn
While the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has implemented a hiring freeze in preparation for cuts in state funding, the hiring freeze will not affect students employed by the university, according to UNL news director Steve Smith. “We have such a high volume of student workers that it is not practical for President [Hank] Bounds to approve them individually,” said Melissa Lee, director of communications for the University of Nebraska system. Bounds announced the hiring freeze in early November in response to the University of Nebraska receiving less state funding. Because of the hiring freeze, all open positions at UNL will not be filled. Smith said the hiring freeze will give the university a chance to focus on the retention, engagement and productivity of current employees. “The university is always evaluating how to be as efficient as possible in all aspects of
its operations,” Smith said. “This is true in the presence of a hiring freeze or not. In the current budget environment, it is only prudent for all areas at Nebraska to consider ways to improve efficiency and effectiveness.” According to a letter from Bounds published Jan. 12, UNL could be looking at a budget gap of about $50 million by summer 2019, with Gov. Pete Ricketts’ proposal to reduce state funding by $12 million. “The proposed cuts must be viewed in conjunction with unavoidable cost increases that we will face in the next biennium,” Bounds said in the letter. “Salary and health insurance increases alone will grow our costs by more than $40 million over the next two years.” Smith said it’s important to remember this is only a projection. “The budget process is ongoing and is not final,” he said in the letter. “Which makes it very difficult at present to specifically quantify its potential impact to the university and its various operations.” UNL is only one part of the University of
Nebraska system affected by the cuts in state funding, the others include the University of Nebraska Omaha, University of Nebraska at Kearney and the University of Nebraska Medical Center. “If a position is funded in any part by state-aided dollars, it is impacted by the hiring freeze,” Smith said. Each of these institutions will host an open forum, where Bounds and each chancellor will discuss budget planning. The open forum for UNL will be Jan. 31, at 8:00 a.m. for staff and 9:15 a.m. for faculty. NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

fight for equality. Mikolajczyk also spoke against LB-46, a bill that would allow Nebraska drivers to apply for specialized “Choose Life” license plates. The money received would go toward supporting child abuse prevention in Nebras-
ka. She argued that the bill would tie abortion to child abuse. “Pro-choice and pro-life do not reflect the complexity of these issues,” Mikolajczyk said. The demonstration ended with Rev. Cooper, who encouraged crowd members to link

LUCKE: Red Hot Chili Peppers inspire, engage
zach henke | dn Anthony Kiedis, lead vocalist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, performs at the Pinnacle Bank Arena as part of the band’s ‘Getaway World Tour’ on Friday, Jan. 20, 2017. Alex Lucke dn staff writer
Flea threw himself into the air again. He jumped and landed in time to the pulsing symbols of “Califorication”, his quintessentially baggy pants falling slightly behind. His fingers didn’t stop plucking at his bass, even in flight, and his cheeks seemed perpetually puffed from concentration. Somehow, the product and comfort of being a part of the Red Hot Chili Peppers since 1983 and simply being Flea all seemed effortless. Red Hot Chili Peppers played at Pinnacle Bank Arena Friday night, entertaining a crowd that believed in the Peppers’ music as much as thrusting their fists in the air and waving “21st Birthday” banners.
New Orleans-based Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue opened the show, thrusting his trombone into the air to kick the set off. The band of six played their instruments that ebbed and flowed like powerful, gospel vocals. BK Johnson, tenor saxophonist, filled the stage with energy. During each band members’ solos he danced as though it was the first time he was hearing the fiery brass, side stepping and emphasizing front-man Trombone Shorty’s lengthy trumpet mastering by checking his watch and winding time in the air with his finger. The audience caught on and middleaged men shook their hips to the beat. A few fingers folded into the “rock on” sign stuck above the crowd and others used their free hands to check their video quality. This was
a performance worth posting, everywhere. Trombone Shorty closed the set with both his hands in peace signs, a reminder that on an interesting day of American history everyone could come together to appreciate music and the art of boogieing. A recorded trumpet track thumped and swelled in the arena. Red Hot Chili Peppers walked on stage in the haze of a cobalt light and front-man Anthony Kiedis trailed the group, a soft cast wrapped around his left leg. It didn’t seem to phase Kiedis, the only other original member of the Peppers, who has jammed with Flea from the start. For “Go Robot” he moved his arms mechanically, popping and breaking on a steady base of bent knees and strategic weight positioning. He skipped to “Snow (Hey Oh)”
and sank even lower to hype jam sessions between guitarist Josh Klinghoffer and bassist Flea. Klinghoffer’s sweaty strands thrashed with his head and fell onto his forehead as he lunged to play. Tubed, animatronic lights swelled like a neon wave as the band performed, retreating to the ceiling between songs and coming to life during choruses. Flea thumbed his base, and a young boy in the audience used binoculars to catch a glimpse of a sticker of a skull wearing a helmet stuck just above the bass’ strings. Everything about Flea is offbeat and slaphappy, and it rubs off on the other members. Lincolnnative and keyboardist Nate Walcott got a special shout-out from the man himself as he launched the band into “Dark Necessities.” Although the Peppers were already halfway through their two hour set, morale was as high as ever. Kiedis and Flea talked about Dr. Seuss and subtle drug references between songs, then seamlessly transitioned into their next jam session that gradually took form as one of their many hits. The dancing didn’t stop, and Chad Smith marched the set along, twirling drumsticks and tossing extras to an eager crowd. He wore a pepper red jumpsuit and a backwards hat, looking like a double for Will Ferrell in “Kicking and Screaming” with exceptionally more rhythm. After their last song, the crowd filled the arena with cell phone lights and words of adoration. It felt like more than anything they wanted to experience a few more minutes sharing the energy and tenacity of the 30-year-old band. It was a reason to come together and embrace commonality on a day that divided the nation. The band recognized this and thanked the crowd a few times, but Flea closed the encore with a reminder of what was important to overcome the polarization and hatefulness surrounding the current political climate. Maybe this wisdom came from being a member of a band with six Grammy awards, 13 number-one singles and a secure spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Or maybe it’s just because Flea is Flea. “Now is our time to love every flavor of person every day,” he said atop a side stage. “The world is in a weird place tonight, and you lifted us up. Thank you so much.” ARTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Leaves Brown creates interactive arts experience Sam Crisler dn staff writer
Levi Gerlach’s interest in art and music began at his childhood home. Gerlach grew up on a farm near Plymouth, Nebraska, which he said heavily influenced his current approach to making art, despite the repetitiveness of the same metal buildings and flat landscape every day. “I think that a lot of my skills and practice is rooted in my childhood where I spent a lot of time creating my own fun in my imagination on a farm,” Gerlach said. Gerlach currently has a collection of his sculptures showing at Tugboat Gallery as part of the gallery’s “Disembodied Vessels” series, which continues until Jan. 28. Since moving to Lincoln five years ago, the musician and visual artist, known by the moniker Leaves Brown, has discovered the arts scene to be full of like-minded artists who support his passion for creating. He said, aside from his parents, there weren’t many people who encouraged his pursuit in art while he grew up. Later on, Gerlach chose to attend Doane University and graduated with a degree in musicology in 2011. He moved to Lincoln where he shares his music and art with the community. Each of his five pieces on display at Tugboat follows Gerlach’s typical artistic style, which involves the arrangement of everyday objects and toys into a concrete composition. For instance, one of his sculptures, titled “Flirting in Atlantis,” could be viewed as a hodgepodge of light bulbs, toy animals and hundreds of other small trinkets arranged on the lid of a storage bin. And for a while it was. “It was in my living room for like four months, and people would just sit around it and play with it while we hung out,” Gerlach said. “So it has gone through lots of different transformations.” But Gerlach said when he’s constructing his sculptures, he still has a vision for the final product. So, before displaying “Flirting in Atlantis,” he tweaked his friends’ contributions to the project to meet his concept for how the sculpture should turn out. And while he has an idea of what he wants a project to be, he never has a clear meaning he’s trying to convey when he starts working on a piece. “I think there’s like certain feelings and energies and ideas that these sculptures put off,” Gerlach said. “But I’m not trying to get any message across. I just want it to be meaningful.” The group effort used in the sculpting of “Flirting in Atlantis” continues into his other work. He said he built a sculpture too big to keep in his home, so he had his friend, Justice Strong, thoroughly photo-
graph the sculpture before destroying it. Four of Strong’s photos are on display at Tugboat as part of the project called “Wastescape.” He also worked with a pair of artists, Jaz Schoeneck and Mark Thimjian, to make a video revolving around “Wastescape,” which ended with Gerlach throwing the sculpture in a dumpster. Gerlach said the video will be released once he finishes the accompanying music.
He said he often collaborates with other artists in his music, too. He started playing live two years ago, and he has slowly pieced a band together from the musicians who would join him for one show at a time. The band, which is named Leaves Brown as well, now consists of Gerlach on keys, Bree Cameron on trumpet, and Aaron Aspedon on drums. They often incorporate art into their performances, but it’s always present in

the form of Ryan Lebenz, who joined as the band’s performance artist about a year ago. Lebenz’s onstage performances employ multiple artistic methods, which Gerlach called profound. “He’ll put his body through really challenging things and create environments with light fixtures,” Gerlach said. The incorporation of performance art in Leaves Brown’s live shows is part of the band’s goal to expose people to more experimental art and music. “We want to experiment with things and just try to make live performance art,” Gerlach said. “We want to get it to the people cause a lot of them want to hear more experi-

New John Mayer album worth the wait
file photo | dn Anna Gleason dn staff writer
John Mayer’s three year music writing hiatus was well worth it. On Facebook, Mayer thanked his fans for waiting, but in all honesty, I thank him for writing this new album.
John Mayer released the first wave of songs from his seventh studio album, “The Search For Everything,” on Friday Jan. 20. Mayer plans to release a chunk of songs every month from his new anthology. This first group includes single, “Love on the Weekend,” which debuted Nov. 17.
Mayer previously said this album will have a lot of songs and recently revealed his plan to release four per month. According to Mayer’s Facebook page , “There [are] too many songs to get out the door at once.” The first wave consists of three other new songs. The first song on the album is, “Moving On and Getting Over.” It opens with a signature John Mayer guitar riff. The tune is relaxed in style and features Mayer’s smooth tenor and falsetto vocals. Each verse is punctuated with a mellow guitar solo that glides along with the melody and bass. The song is quintessentially groovy and fluid. The lyrics in the song are compelling but simple and catchy. Mayer’s vocals complement the serene style of the lyrics and make the song cohesive. However, the highlight is the blend of the bass line with the sleek and effortless sound of the guitar interludes. “Changing,” is the second track and has a slightly different feel. The song begins with a piano part of blocked chords before transitioning into a slow-rock beat. The song then breaks into an extended guitar solo. The lyrics to the tune aren’t particularly notable but they’re repetitive and get the job done. Most memorable in the song is the guitar solo, reminiscent of Prince’s “Purple Rain,” riff. I found that the beginning and the middle of the song don’t quite reflect one another, almost as if they’re two different songs
smashed together, but the shift between the two works well. The single, “Love on the Weekend,” is the album’s third track. It mixes well with the other songs from this collection and fits in flawlessly with Mayer’s style. It’s a relaxed song with a steady, smooth rock style, similar to the other tracks. “Wave One,” concludes with a peaceful sounding tune called, “You’re Gonna Live Forever in Me.” The lyrics in this song are by far the most moving and meaningful. Mayer’s tenor is pleasant and relaxing, complementing the serene attitude of the words. The tune starts with a gentle piano melody and the sound of strings is softly and gradually incorporated. The song is emotional and heartfelt with an abrupt ending. It doesn’t include any of Mayer’s traditional guitar, but the tune didn’t need it. Mayer produces an excellent song without the crutch of a guitar solo. It’s a song that I’d love to put on repeat. Though I wish Mayer had released the entire album, these first few songs have me eagerly awaiting the rest of the collection. If the rest of the album complements these first four songs, it could easily become one of my favorite albums ever. ARTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM
LEAVES: FROM PAGE 9 mental artists.” The band’s music takes an experimental approach as well, and is completely devoid of vocals. John Freidel, a local musician who has contributed music to numerous plays, films and Lincoln bands, compared Leaves Brown’s music to contemporary classical artists such as Ludovico Einaudi and Philip Glass. “[There are] a lot of looped phrases, melodic interludes and free-jazz moments,” Freidel said of the music.
Gerlach agrees the band’s music stems from classical music, but he said he thinks his classical songwriting foundation has progressed to incorporate more elements of noise and ambient music since he moved to Lincoln. “I think all the different types of music I’ve interacted with since I’ve lived in Lincoln, with the DIY scene and people showing me things, has taken that classical foundation and taken it in a much different direction,” Gerlach said.
Gerlach said his time in Lincoln has not only influenced his music, but his art has also become more focused and confident. And the city’s arts scene has supported of his work and his penchant for collaboration. He said there are at least ten artists who live within a two-block radius of him who he respects and appreciates. “I’m just extremely grateful to be in Lincoln where we have a community where most of us know each other and what we’re about
and what we’re up to,” Gerlach said. With a supportive community behind him, Gerlach is able to focus on why he enjoys art and music in the first place. “It’s all about transcendence,” Gerlach said. “When I experience a band or any kind of art, that’s what it is that makes me happy and makes me satisfied.” ARTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

TRACEY: NE should make switch to mail-in ballots
Greg Tracey staff columnist
Politics in Nebraska has been a lot more exciting in recent weeks, due to the start of the 2017 Legislative Session. The veritable cascade of legislation being considered includes a constitutional
amendment on the subject of voter IDs, a bill that increases the number of early voting sites and one that proposes automatic voter registration when people get their driver’s licenses. One bill that is especially easy to support is Legislative Bill 619, proposed by State Senator Justin Wayne, which adds Nebraska to the list of states that conduct allmail voting. This bill helps us move toward the lofty goal of giving everyone easy access to a ballot, will increase voter turnout and makes financial sense. Such a system has also been put into effect in other states. LB 619 has the simple goal of “authorizing all counties to conduct all elections by mail,” according to a Lincoln Journal Star article. A similar system has been in place in Oregon since 2000. More recently, Colorado and Washington have followed suit. However, there will still be an option in Nebraska for those who are more traditional. Some in-per-
son locations will remain open if you enjoy the feeling of casting your vote that way. The stated purpose of LB 619 is to increase voter participation for, in State Sen. Wayne’s own words, “people without transportation, disabled people, those who are working three jobs, workers who need easier access to the right to vote.” This is indeed a lofty and worthy goal. The philosopher Jeremy Bentham listed universal suffrage as one of his theoretical “securities against misrule.” If everyone can vote easily, then government will better reflect society as a whole. Especially considering that disadvantaged groups such as these might have the most to gain from new elected officials, there’s no doubt that voting should be made easier for them. If democracy means universal suffrage, then it also follows that as much of the population as possible should participate. Such a
measure will increase voter turnout. In 2012, Washington and Oregon, two states that conduct elections 100 percent by mail, had the third and fourth highest voter turnouts in the United States, respectively. One has to be a disengaged citizen to not be able to fill out a ballot that’s sent straight to one’s home. In Nebraska’s unique situation, there is also a financial aspect to changing to an allmail voting system. A number of counties are using increasingly antiquated election infrastructure, of which it’s said, “the cost of replacing that technology would be prohibitive.” Shifting to a new system removes the need to fix and/or replace old machines. Sen. Barbara Boxer once said that, “Every citizen of this country should be guaranteed that their vote matters, that their vote is counted and that in the voting booth, their

BRUCKNER: Banning religious garb limits free speech

Across every major religion, there is some type of religious dress that includes a head covering. There’s a hijab, a kippah, a turban, a habit and many more. These various types of headwear, jewelry and clothing allow individuals the ability to express their religion. Students are able to express their first amendment right to wear religious dress in the classroom, however, teachers are banned from doing the same in Nebraska. In 1919, Nebraska passed this ban while
an anti-Catholic attitude swept the nation as a result of pressure from the Ku Klux Klan. While a total of 34 other states have repealed their version of this law, Oregon being the most recent in 2010, organizations and legislators within Nebraska and Pennsylvania are both considering repealing this ban. Today, Catholics and religious minorities, like Muslims, Sikhs and Jews continue to feel the aftermath of this law. This is clear in the case of Sister Madeleine Miller. She recently applied to be a high school teacher but would have faced punishment for wearing a habit, the religious dress of a Catholic nun, had she continued to teach at the school. The argument in favor of keeping such a ban is to keep teaching religiously neutral. Some argue that by allowing teachers to wear religious garb, schools run the risk of promoting or demoting religions. Keeping secularism in public education is priority over personal identity. The presence of a hijab does not mean the teacher is attempting to proselytize their students, and it does not affect their ability to teach. With or without it, that teacher would still be Muslim and would not be per-
fectly religiously neutral. While keeping public schools and universities separate from the church is absolutely critical, wearing or not wearing religious dress does not dictate what student should believe and the teacher’s ability to keep the classroom religion-free. There are plenty of examples of teachers and professors who don’t wear religious dress who push religious beliefs into their curriculums. One of the major examples is teaching creationism, instead of evolution. Another example is that religion can be a motivator for abstinence-only sexual education. This law does not prevent situations like this from still happening, rendering the ban virtually ineffective. One of the other concerns for allowing religious wear in schools is that students might be distracted and have questions. Tolerance for difference comes from exposure to differences. But is a curious child necessarily a bad thing, so long that the teacher responds in a way that is objective and appropriate? An example by the Anti-Defamation League: a student asks their teacher what their cross necklace means (a religious accessory widely accepted), and the teacher responds
with “It symbolizes Jesus dying for our sins.” This would be an example that would prove the teacher was promoting their religion. The ADL recommends that the teacher simply says that the necklace is a symbol of their religion. If a student asks for further information, one could point the student in the direction of having their parents or guardians further discuss religious matters. In the case of the necklace, any religious wear could replace the necklace and the outcome would be the same. The problem with this law, specifically in Nebraska, according to an attorney at the ACLU of Nebraska, is that the law doesn’t even specify what counts as banned religious wear. Nebraska’s vaguely worded ban puts teachers at risk for being unexpectedly charged. If a teacher is prosecuted for breaking this law, it means a year-long suspension the first time and running the risk of being charged a fine, being given jail time or both. The KKK-driven motive for this law was to discriminate against Catholics, and it is long outdated. During the discussion on this

Huskers rally in win at Minnesota
Cody Nagel dn staff writer
It would seem like a comeback victory for most, but for Nebraska wrestling coach Mark
Manning, it wasn’t. Down 11-3 halfway through its dual team tournament against No. 12 Minnesota, No. 5 Nebraska (10-1, 4-1 BIG) won the last five matches to defeat the Golden Gophers 21-11
jacy lewis | dn Tyler Berger celebrates his victory over Brian Murphy from Michigan on Jan. 15, 2017 at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
Friday night in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Manning said he had to place undersized Justin Arthur in the starting spot at 174 pounds. Senior Micah Barnes, who regularly starts, was out. He also said the team did not get a favorable call at 197 and heavyweight matches. “At the end of the day I thought our guys kept their composure and did what they needed to do,” Manning said. In a final match against No. 6 Ethan Lizak at 125 pounds, No. 5 Tim Lambert ignited the Huskers’ commanding finish by pinning his opponent. Lambert led 2-1 after the first period and started the second on bottom. Manning said Lizak used one of his best moves on Lambert, but Lambert reversed him and put Lizak on his back. “He did what Timmy Lambert is expected to do,” Manning said. “He just relaxed and did what he does everyday in practice. I was proud of him.” Lambert’s pin was his sixth of the season, enough to lead theNebraska starters. Nebraska took the lead in team points after the 133-pound match. No. 5 Eric Montoya scored six first-period points on his way to a 13-6 decision against No. 16 Mitch McKee. In a tight match at 141 pounds, No. 10 Colton McCrystal edged No. 13 Tommy Torn of Minnesota 7-6. McCrystal’s victory was his third against a top-20 opponent in his last four matches. He previously defeated No. 15 Cole Martin of Wisconsin on Jan. 13 and No. 12 Jimmy Gulibon of Penn State on Jan. 8. The Huskers closed out the dual with victories from Collin Purinton (149) and No. 3 Tyler Berger (157). With a 3-2 lead in the third period, Berger scored a takedown and four near-fall points before the buzzer against No. 11 Jake Short. Minnesota began the dual with backto-back victories at 165 and 174 pounds. NU’s TJ Dudley, ranked third at 184 pounds, won by decision, 6-2, against Bobby Stevenson. Stevenson was called for unsportsmanlike conduct, costing Minnesota one team point. Manning said Stevenson kept pushing Dudley. “The kid was just frustrated, I think, and lashed out,” Manning said. Minnesota’s two returning All-Americans, No. 2 Brett Pfarr (197) and No. 9 Michael Kroells (HWT) won their respective matches.
Pfarr, an All-American in 2016, ended No. 7 Aaron Studebaker’s 14-match winning streak with a 5-3 decision. Minnesota won a challenge regarding a takedown at the end of the match. Kroells, a two-time All-American, defeated No. 15 Collin Jensen 7-6 after Nebraska lost a challenge at the end of the match. Manning challenged that Jensen earned four near fall points instead of two. Jensen has now lost five consecutive matches against Kroells, three of them by one point. Nebraska’s composure was an important factor in Friday’s match. Manning said that is just what his team is. “It’s about controlling what they need to control and keeping it simple,” Manning said. “Focus on what they can do and it’s about them matching up with their individual matchup.” “It’s not about the team. It’s about what they can do for the team. And that’s give their best effort,” Manning said. Nebraska will have two road duals next weekend. The Huskers will face Purdue Jan. 27 at 6 p.m. in West Lafayette, Indiana,. and Indiana Jan. 29 at 1 p.m. in Bloomington, Indiana. Results: 165: No. 13 Nick Wanzek (MINN) dec.

Rifle squad ready to build on solid foundation
jacy lewis | dn Zach Markon dn staff writer
Ashley MacAllister is in her third year as the head coach of Nebraska’s rifle team. Now, halfway through this season, the team has a 8-1 record, is ranked No. 8 nationally and is well on its way to the NCAA championships, a competition MacAllister has taken her team to every year she’s coached at Nebraska. Looking at the season so far, MacAllister said she is pleased with the team’s progress.
“At the beginning of the season, it was much more about setting our positions, figuring out our process and building a team foundation,” she said. “At this point in the season, those goals change. We’ve built our foundation. All we have to worry about now is testing that foundation and doing what we know how to do.” Sophomore Nina Radulovic viewed the team’s progress in a similar fashion. “At the beginning of the season, we had four freshmen who replaced the four outgoing seniors from last year,” Radulovic said. “Much of the early season was spent getting them comfortable with the competition format and just forming a comfortable team environment and team culture. Now that we’ve done that, and seen where other teams stand, we’re more focused on the process that will lead us to having very high results.” MacAllister said each year she reminds her shooters that rifle is much more a mental sport than anything else. She said her main goal now is for her team to let their training take hold during matches and follow through on skills they learn during practice.
This year, MacAllister noted, she is most proud of her team’s resilience. “There have been some things that have been out of our control,” she said. “Things haven’t always gone our way. But, without fail, the team has always managed to rebound and bounce back within a couple shots.” MacAllister also praised the way her team handles any unfortunate happenings. “Ultimately, we’ve always been able to finish to the best of our abilities under any conditions. No matter what comes our way, I have confidence in my team that they’re going to handle it with ease and grace,” she said. While talking about specific struggles the team has had and what they still need to work on, MacAllister found it difficult to pinpoint a specific area for improvement. “I think we’ve struggled more on individual bases, and we’ve done a lot of work to improve on those struggles,” she said. “If you had asked me at the beginning of the season, I would have said that we were struggling to get everyone on the same page. Everyone is a lot more consistent now, though.” That statement is backed by the team’s results. The Huskers had a close tiebreaker in
October against Ohio State, which Nebraska ultimately won, and the team’s only loss came in early November. Since that loss in November, the rifle team is on a five-match winning streak. That winning streak includes wins against both the Army and Navy. When asked what she would attribute the team’s success to, Radulovic had nothing but praises for her team “This year, our unofficial slogan has been ‘love the grind,’” she said. “It really describes our journey well, in this sport you really have to be persistent in order to succeed. Keeping that idea in mind, that no matter what, we’re here because we love this sport and we enjoy doing it, it has been essential to our success.” Coach MacAllister said, looking at the first half of this season, she’s very pleased with her team overall. “This team is incredible,” she said. “We have heart and passion for this sport, and that’s ultimately what you want in a team. That’s what has made us so successful this far, and that’s what will continue to drive us to be even better.” SPORTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM
Young tennis team looks for leadership Ron Petersen dn staff writer
With the a team full of underclassmen and no seniors, Husker men’s tennis is looking for someone to take a leadership role. The season is now underway and the team has yet to name a team captain. This year’s team will need to find leadership from everyone. “We have a very tough schedule with no easy matches so we have to go out every match and play our hardest. I think we could surprise some teams even though we are so young,” sophomore Toby Boyer said. “To be out there playing in the college tennis atmosphere for Nebraska. It’s one of the best feelings there is.” With team captain being named soon, Boyer said he looks to lead by example and help out with the youth of the team. “I try to come to weights and practice with the same positive attitude every day,” He said. “I think my teammates notice it, and it will rub off. This year, considering we’re such a young team and I have the most experience, I will start being more vocal in the season. I’m introverted and don’t really like to say anything un-
less it’s really important or needs to be said.” Because the team is filled with exclusively sophomores and freshmen, the future seems to be bright for Nebraska tennis. “We have the potential to be really good in a few years but we want to be good right now. I think a lot of our guys especially freshmen are really close to taking their games to the next levels and becoming really good college players,” Boyer said. Boyer said he looks forward to what the team can do this season and wants to make a name for themselves in the Big Ten. He is excited with what the freshmen are bringing into the team atmosphere. One of the freshmen, Chris Dean, said he is ready for the competition with good teams this year and is excited to see the program to continue to rise in the next four years. “I feel like we have a good program here to do big things here this spring and in the future,” he said. Dean is not sure who will be named team captain but he has a guess Boyer might be in contention. “The leadership Toby brings is competiveness and energy because when his energy is up and he is competing during a match or at
practice it makes our level rise. He leads by action because he can get all our energy up and make us compete more by his actions on the court,” Dean said. “With me, he will give me advice if I’m struggling in practice and during matches. If you aren’t playing well he will try to pump you back up.” Dean said he wants everyone to go out and give it their all in every match so they are ready to compete in the Big Ten and other top teams. He is also excited to see the program mature so they will grow into the future. “I think the future for Husker tennis is very bright because I think we have a talented young team that has at least three years together, and I think, here soon, we can break top 25 if we give all of our effort,” he said. With a captain to be named soon, things are wide open for everyone on the young team to step up. “Young players are always looking to get their shot and have their named heard so there is definitely a lot of motivation,” freshman Dylan Bednarczyk said. “We just have to make sure to stay disciplined in doing the right things consistently,” SPORTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

TRACEY: FROM PAGE 11 vote has a much weight as that of any CEO, any member of Congress or any President.” This bill is one way we can move further toward achieving just that. Equality of opportunity is one of the great American virtues that has been handed down throughout the centuries. While we haven’t always practiced what we preach in regards to universal suffrage, this bill is a good opportunity to make sure that the arc of history bends toward liberty and justice. I would encourage anyone who
feels the same way to contact their state senator and ask them to vote in the affirmative on this bill. Over time, we have added just about every group to the ranks of those who can vote. By ensuring all these people can vote easily, we ensure the march toward the full potential of what was started in 1776 can continue. GREG TRACEY IS A FRESHMAN GLOBAL STUDIES MAJOR. REACH HIM AT OPINION@DAILYNEBRASKAN. COM OR VIA @DNOPINION.
BRUCKNER: FROM PAGE 11 law, there were many organizations, legislators and individuals that were in favor of the repeal, making it possible for it to be eliminated. The worry of those who fear a merge of church and state by repealing this does not go unheard. There is a clear distinction of being allowed to wear a garment versus being allowed to teach religious material, and teachers should be aware of that. Perhaps undergoing training to handle situations like
the ADL scenario above could ease some of the worry. As long as teachers are able to keep their religious identities and beliefs out of their role as a teacher, there should be little issue with keeping schools and universities secular.

MLK RALLY: FROM PAGE 4 the United States. Fittingly, Schoo Middle School 8th grader Malik Fleming addressed President Donald Trump directly in a letter. In his letter, Malik outlined his future stating that after he graduates high school in 2021, he plans on attending an Ivy League school such as Harvard. Malik also spoke about the pride he feels as a member of the Lincoln community. “There are 68 languages spoken within our district and our High School graduation rate is 83.2 percent,” Fleming read from his letter. However, Malik also spoke to some of the disparities that are present in the Lincoln area. “We have an educational and opportunity achievement gap in our school system,” Malik said. “Our LGBTQ+ community is often discriminated against and over 97,000 children are food insecure, not knowing where their next meal may come from.” Malik also said he agreed with Trump that it was time for everyone to come together as one united people. He also offered some advice to the newly appointed President. “It is very important that you think about all who are counting on you and to do what is best for all, not just one,” Malik said.
Malik concluded his letter by calling on people to spend more time tearing down walls rather than building them. Community Adult Advisor Peter Ferguson described the challenges of putting behind political ideologies to focus on the message that the rally attempts to relay. “Sometimes I would come home to messages from people trying to say this or say that,” Ferguson said. Ferguson believes that this rally is not the forum for these types of actions, he believes the rally is better off focusing on the message left behind by Dr. King. “They will deliver a powerful message and it will speak to what is right,” Ferguson said. “We will reflect, remember, celebrate, and then we will challenge.” To conclude the rally, Wilson returned to the stage to deliver his rendition of Donovan Livingston’s Harvard Convocation speech entitled “Lift Off.” Once the rally ended, the crowd dispersed to march from the steps of the City Campus Union to the State Capitol.
