Milliken asks Legislature to fund initiative Frannie Sprouls Daily Nebraskan

University of NebraskaLincoln President James B. Milliken announced his “Building a Healthier Nebraska” initiative to the Nebraska Legislature Jan. 18. This proposal requests $91 million from Nebraska’s cash reserve fund for projects in Lincoln, Omaha and Kearney. An additional $300 million will come from private donors, patient revenue and other sources, according to a UNL press release on Jan. 18. Milliken said education and job creation are high priorities for Nebraska and will help the state become stronger and more competitive. On Thursday, Gov. Dave Heineman said the legislature in Nebraska cannot afford to

pay the amount Milliken is requesting, according to a report in the Lincoln Journal Star . Heineman said the cash reserve needs to be rebuilt before using the money for onet i m e milliken funding projects. Milliken proposed four components to the initiative, two of which would affect students in Lincoln. The first project is building a new University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Nursing. This would replace the current building in Lincoln,

according to Juliann Sebastian, dean of UNMC’s College of Nursing. “We’ve been turning away qualified applicants to the Lincoln division,” she said in a phone interview. “With the shortage of nurses in Nebraska and a continued estimated shortage, we want to do our part and expand our space to accept more applicants.” The Lincoln division of UNMC’s College of Nursing has a total enrollment of about 250 students. With the new building, Sebastian said they expect to increase the total enrollment by 64 students during the next few years. The new building would also provide space for a more vibrant research program with more research faculty and new technology,

Sebastian said. “We see ourselves as having a research culture where students can learn as that science is developing,” she said. “As tech has expanded, we need very highly educated nurses whether it’s for diagnostics, therapeutic services or health education.” The second project proposed is to plan and design a new Veterinary Diagnostic Center (VDC) at UNL’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The current VDC is a 35-year-old building and is in good condition, said David Hardin, director of the School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences. “We’ve simply outgrown the building,” Hardin said in a phone interview. “We don’t have any space left.” Hardin listed three reasons

for a new building. One relates to safety and another to the risk of cross contamination due to a poor ventilation system. “The third is simply the ability to expand and add new services to better serve the needs of the state,” Hardin said. The VDC provides diagnostic services, running lab tests on samples sent in from practicing veterinarians and from state agencies. In the summer, the lab does testing for the West Nile virus, he said. Livestock is also tested at the lab, Hardin said. The third project is looking for financial support for a cancer research tower at UNMC. With this tower UNMC would be able to become one of only 40 institutions in the U.S. to earn

hen Allison Stock, a sophomore early childhood education major, took her first steps into the Knoll Residential Center she expected to enjoy the quiet suite-styled life she said she felt she missed out on her freshman year. Instead, the sound of buzzing, clanking and rattling from construction machinery greets Stock every morning. “It wakes me up,” she said, “and

of course once I’m up, there’s no way I can get back to sleep.” Stock is referring to the construction behind Knoll that began on Jan. 1. The construction is part of a project costing about $71.5 million that will replace Cather and Pound Residence Halls with two suitestyled housing buildings similar to the Knoll.

Party Party brings the tacos New group enters ASUN race, red Solo Cups in hand elias youngquist daily nebraskan

A second political party will announce their entrance into the running for the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska elections on Friday. At 12:30 p.m. the Party Party will hand out tacos in the Nebraska Union while making brief announcements about its plans for the elections. “We’re going to be passing out tacos in red solo cups — it’s kind of our symbol,” said Kate Miller, a sophomore philosophy major and the party’s presidential candidate. “We’ll be giving out really quick announcements about our party and our ideology. We’re going to be making it about as long as it takes to eat a taco.” The party is making a distinct attempt to differentiate itself from Impact, who gave a similar announcement last week in the Nebraska Union. “We wanted to do something similar to Impact’s event, but also different, and we figured everyone likes tacos,” said Dillon Jones, a sophomore English major and the party’s candidate for external vice president. “We just

party: from 1 wanted to let people know that, ‘Hey, there is another party.’” The party has made it a goal to make itself as lowkey as possible to contrast with previous elections and the opposing party. According to Jones, the idea to run began during a conversation between the three founding members, Miller, Jones and Blake Rostine, a sophomore political science and German major. “We were talking about ASUN in general and what it does well and, more importantly, what it could do better,” Jones said. “It was a very tongue-in-cheek reaction to how formal elections are.” According to Miller the party’s original idea to announce their candidacy for ASUN involved a megaphone, the Nebraska Union’s balcony and pouring money down on onlookers, a plan she says, sadly, wasn’t allowed. The group has instead opted for a 6-foot-tall red solo cup statue decorated with Christmas lights, Jones said. “We’re trying to emphasize that this is a low-key, very accessible event,” Miller said. “It’s something that anybody can pop over to. We’ve got a lot of tacos.” eliasyoungquist@ dailynebraskan.com

q&a

Sen. Dubas discusses LB 926 Legislative bill aims to improve foster care payments Jacy Marmaduke Daily Nebraskan

Nebraska Sen. Annette Dubas of Fullerton introduced LB 926 on Jan. 10. The bill’s purpose, as stated in its title, is to provide for a minimum base rate for foster care payments. Dubas represents the 34th Legislative District, which covers Nance County, Merrick County, Hamilton County, Polk County and part of Hall County. Daily Nebraskan: Can you give a brief description of the bill and its history? Annette Dubas: This bill is very similar to a bill I introduced last session, LB 199. It came from many, many visits with foster families after we moved toward the privatizing of the child welfare system (two years ago). The foster care payments were becoming very inconsistent across the state, depending on the lead agencies and how they decided to make those payments and what they decided to base those payments on. So what we were looking for was a consistent methodology to determine the foster care payments. The Health and Human Services committee did an extensive study, and this is one of the recommendations that came out of that. Since I was working on it, they asked if I would carry the legislation. It ensures that the money goes directly to the child — it’s not filed through any other agency. For some reason, if you’re a kinship placement (children placed with relatives), the system pays you less, and that was becoming quite a hardship for those

who had a grandparent on a fixed income or aunts or uncles who have children of their own and are taking additional children into their households. (This bill) treats those relatives the same as it does any other foster family. DN: Is the state’s child welfare system in need of significant reform? Dubas: No question. While the intention was very good the amount of change and the direction that we went in a relatively short amount of time created a great deal of instability and uncertainty in the system. Some programs and agencies could withstand that inconsistency, but when you’re talking about children and families, that’s not something that you can muddle your way through. We should have taken a much more deliberative approach to the changes that were being made. DN: Is there a good chance the bill will pass? Why or why not? Dubas: I think there is. Of course, the bill will have a fiscal note attached to it, and we are having to be Sen. Annette Dubas very mindful of the money we’re spending and how of the state has. I hope we we’re spending it.

For the second consecutive year the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska is asking for less money from student fees. ASUN appeared before the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Committee for Fees Allocation on Thursday night with a request that cuts $9,822 from last year’s budget, bringing the total to $523,375. “What we’ve come up with is exciting and will hopefully be an example to other fee users,” said Lane Carr, a history and political science major and ASUN president. ASUN was able to lower its student fee allocation by cutting down on abuse in the 475-RIDE system while maintaining the current levels of the program, Carr said. “We want students to use the service but use it as a last resort,” he said. “However, some people were using the system to go to Wal-Mart every day.” The 475-RIDE system now tracks student usage, issuing warnings when students abuse the system and keeping a list of those students who are no longer allowed to use the system free of charge due to continued abuses after

they’ve been warned. In addition to tracking abuse, ASUN is adding $10,000 to the 475-RIDE contingency fund from sales of the student-designed football T-shirt. The student government has a partnership with the Nebraska Athletic Department to receive $5 from the shirts sold in the University Bookstore, Husker Authentic Shop and the Nebraska Bookstore. Despite the cut in costs, ASUN was still able to give merit raises to several employees, create a new staff secretary position and create two new funds for graduate student programming and environmental sustainability. “Over the past two years ASUN has exemplified what it means to manage a budget,” said Nolan Johnson, a junior management major and CFA chair. “They’re making sure students get full use of fees and asking for less money. They deserve to be commended.” CFA will vote on the ASUN request on Jan. 26. emilynitcher@ dailynebraskan.com

UNL profs debunk agriculture myth

Researchers’ study shows high-input crop system is better Maren Westra Daily Nebraskan

For University of NebraskaLincoln researchers Ken Cassman and Patricio Grassini, 2012 is already turning out to be a pretty good year. The UNL agronomists proved false a popular belief that high-input agricultural systems are harmful to the environment. The pair co-authored an article published in the Jan. 10 “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.” Cassman holds the Robert B. Daugherty Professorship at UNL, and Grassini is a former Fulbright Scholar who has researched crop systems in Argentina as well as in the Midwest. The article is titled “Highyield maize with large net energy yield and small global warming intensity,” and can be viewed on the “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” website. Cassman and Grassini’s research shows that Nebraska corn grown by an irrigated system contributes

to efficient energy, water and fertilizer usage. The fear of greenhouse gases and the desire to “go green” by taking measures to benefit and protect the environment are prevalent sentiments in American culture. Cassman said all production industries are being faced with the challenge of improving their impact on the environment, and this extends past agriculture into other sectors like transportation and energy. It was previously believed that using high-input agricultural systems to produce crops would also produce more greenhouse gases and was dangerous for the environment. Cassman and Grassini say that is not true. According to their research, high-input farming is the most efficient way to produce crops because it results in the highest crop yield. “There’s an increased demand for food in the world,” Grassini said. “It’s possible to achieve increased food production with less input.” Although rain-fed agriculture uses less fossil fuels and produces fewer greenhouse gases than high-input systems, Cassman and Grassini discovered that highinput agriculture comes out on top when comparing the

per-unit energy yield and gas emissions. For the first time, according to Grassini, UNL research on this subject involved primary data collected by the researchers themselves, rather than secondary data obtained from the Department of Agriculture. Grassini said that 377 fields were tested from 2005 to 2007. The data used for Cassman and Grassini’s research came from farmers who were required to report their practices. The factors examined include the amount of water and fertilizer used, the type of tillage system used in the fields and whether the irrigation system was pivot or surface. According to Cassman, this information was entered into a database, which then showed the researchers what factors affect yield the most. “Each of these (field) owners defined priorities according to their own interests,” Grassini said. Cassman said the whole purpose of the team’s research lies in evaluating the production side of an agricultural system and weighing it against the impact it has upon the environment. “There’s always tradeoffs,” he said. “There’s no perfect system.” Each of the field owners

RESEARCH

was mailed a more in-depth survey and 123 field owners responded. Cassman said he determined the average input of the 123 responding fields to be comparable to the average of the 377 total fields, indicating that the responding fields are representative of the entire group. Cassman said with rainfed agriculture systems the yield varies every year depending on nature, but with an irrigated system farmers know what their yield will be, and how to maximize it, because there’s little variation. “In our view, there’s a (trend) throughout the world related to questions about how best to allow economic growth to proceed for all of humanity and still protect the environment,” Cassman said. It is important to balance the environment with energy, agriculture and transportation, he said. “We need those things,” Cassman said. “But we have to be smart about how we get them.” Marenwestra@ dailynebraskan.com

construction: from 1 The parking lot that once accommodated Knoll residents with nearly 420 parking spaces has now been closed and the east exit from the building has been cut off. According to Stock, parking has become a serious inconvenience to the residents. “I paid for the parking and now it’s gone,” Stock said. “They didn’t really clarify anything to us.” But according to Dan Carpenter, director of Parking and Transit Services, the information regarding parking was available last semester in a Daily Nebraskan article published Nov. 21. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Parking and Transit Services instructed Knoll residents to park in the parking lot north of the

construction site and the parking lot across from 19th Street, south of the Beadle Center. The remaining residents also had the option of purchasing parking in the 19th and Vine streets garage, located east of AbelSandoz Residence Center. Faculty and staff parking spaces were moved to the surface lot east of the 17th and R garage, which some students said caused a bigger problem. Last Tuesday, Kinsley Fisher, a senior advertising major, parked in the same spot she’s parked in for three years behind the 17th and R parking garage. But when she came back from class she found a note attached to her car. “It was a warning saying that I was parked in a faculty-reserved parking spot

and that I was not to park there again,” she said. Fisher then found out that her usual parking lot was now accommodating both commuters and faculty, and because the Knoll residents no longer had a parking lot of their own they filled up Fisher’s usual parking spot the very next day. Fisher said even though the commuter parking was filled up she noticed several open spots in the facultyreserved section. “I had to go find and pay for a parking meter,” she said. “I refuse to be forced to pay for parking when I already have a pass.” Despite the noise and parking inconvenience to the students, Keith Zaborowski, associate director of University Housing, wanted to remind students

that construction is nothing new on campus. “If you look around you, all of these buildings came up at one time or another,” Zaborowski said, “and students and faculty both had to deal with the inconvenience at some point. It’s how we have this campus.” Zaborowski said Housing is willing to accommodate Knoll residents by relocating them to another part of the building or transferring them to another residence hall. Those interested in speaking with Parking and Transit Services can call the office at 402-472-1800. According to Zaborowski, construction is right on schedule, and Housing expects one of the buildings to be open in the fall of 2013. conordunn@ dailynebraskan.com

dn flashback Comments on Saturday Game Jan. 20, 1903 The crowd that attended the basket ball (sic) game Saturday was hardly all that could be expected in point of numbers, but those that were there did their best to make up for the absentees by being unusually demonstrative. Perhaps the smallness of the crowd was due to the fact that many expected a walk-away for the Indians, and preferred to stay away rather than see their own team defeated. If such was the case, the motive can hardly be considered commendable. On such an occasion a large crowd of supporters is more necessary than at any other time, and if there had been more interest taken in the game perhaps the result would have been different. Church Day a Success Jan. 20, 1914 The All University Church Day, both from the standpoint of attendance and moral inspiration, met every respect of the committees in charge. At the morning services of nearly every church in the city special addresses and music had been prepared for the special interest and benefit of the students. And in support of this interest shown in them, the university student body responded in large numbers. The Methodist denominations were foremost in attendance: St. Paul, 400; Grace M.E., 150; Emmanuel, 60; Trinity M.E., 40; Total 775. Sixty men enrolled in the Bible school classes, mostly affiliated with the St. Paul church. Defense Class Rolls Picked Here Saturday Jan. 20, 1942 Selection of applicants for the two evening defense courses in aircraft assembly inspection beginning Feb. 2 will be made here on Saturday, according to an announcement by Prof. W.L. DeBaufre, director of the defense courses in the college of engineering. Students may enter the classes if they plan to quit school and obtain defense jobs on completion of the course. Women who can meet requirements are also invited to apply for the training, Professor DeBaufre said. Morrison Feels Budget Rumors Are ‘Dis-Service to University’ Jan. 18, 1963 Reports circulated Wednesday that Gov. Frank Morrison in his budget message to the Legislature Monday will recommend giving the University four million dollars less than it asked, but give five million more than the 1961 legislature approved for the last biennium. Sources Wednesday indicated the Governor will recommend about 33 million dollars instead of the University request of 37 million. New definition raises number of AIDS cases Jan. 20, 1988 The number of AIDS cases nationally and in Nebraska has risen because the Centers for Disease Control have redefined AIDS, said Brian James, health educator for the Nebraska Department of Health’s AIDS program. The new definition allows doctors make presumptive diagnoses without having to run “tons of tests,” such as in pneumonia cases, James said. — compiled by mitch mattern mitchmattern@dailynebraskan.com

TELEVISION

TV, movie marathons give viewers a chance to make up for lost time from busy lives

f drugs or alcohol isn’t your fix, I bet television is. Most people have no idea they’re addicted until that fateful day when they flip through the guide to find hours of their favorite show running right after another. I am talking, of course, about marathons. When I hear the word “marathon,” I think of months, or even years of training, leading up to a mental and physical race involving running, biking, swimming or all three. However, participants in those marathons are not nearly as dedicated as those watching 16 hours straight of “America’s Next Top Model,” or if you’re like me, “Lost.” I spent two months catching up to season six of “Lost” before it ended, and if I wouldn’t have watched every single episode before that finale, I would have been, well, lost. Marathons are a busy or anti-time-managing person’s best friend. It’s not that you don’t love your show enough to make sure you have time to watch it every week, but things come up! Before you know it, school, work or something else has swallowed all of your time, and you’ll never be able to get those three episodes in the middle back before the finale. Marathons basically save the day. They say, “Hey, we know you’re busy, but since we love you so much, go ahead and see what you missed.” It’s true, sitting in front of a TV all day isn’t a very productive way to spend your time, but no matter what else there is to do, something about watching a marathon draws you in. It could be the simple fact that you missed a show or two, or it could be that you loved the season so much you have to watch it again. Either way, thousands of people become slaves to the TV for at least a day. It might be frustrating for people to turn on the TV and see a marathon of a show they dislike playing on their favorite channel. However, in the back of their minds, either they’re secretly fans or get a tiny bit of hope that their favorite show will marathon next. I’m guilty of it. I turned on MTV and was annoyed that they were playing every episode of “16 and Pregnant” before wrapping up the season. I hated that show. Did I watch every episode, and am I now

carrie zepf addicted in that can’t-stopwatching-“Jersey Shore” kind of way? Yes. I have no regrets! After “Lost,” I found I’m not addicted to television and hardly ever watch it. I am, however, a marathon addict. The best kinds of marathons are the ones you create yourself. Tools like Hulu and Netflix allow you to construct your own little addiction that never has to take up TV time. For example, I watched all of “Lost” on Hulu. I swear I’m done mentioning “Lost.” I finally understand why people with an addiction don’t talk about

anything else. Hulu has all kinds of shows on its website, most of which are the most recent two or three episodes of the current season. It’s changed in the last couple of years by adding Hulu Plus, in which you pay to watch your show before the next one airs the following week. I imagine they had to do this to keep up with Netflix, but I still miss getting to watch a show I couldn’t catch the next morning. Sadly, if you’re not willing to pay the price, Hulu is only a tool for mini marathons. I think Hulu should have stuck to their original set up, as most of its popular shows are not yet on Netflix. I’m not saying lucking out on Netflix doesn’t happen. There’s usually a season or two of “Pawn Stars” or “Walking Dead” that people

go crazy about. Personally, I watched the entire season of “Firefly” on Netflix before watching the finale movie “Serenity,” which was also on Netflix. One of the strongest points to be made for Netflix is the secret, mysterious marathon you never see coming. Anyone can look for an entire season of a favorite show, but Netflix gives you a “Like Lost” or a “Like Pawn Stars” list. This feature opens up a door to shows you had no idea even existed. You find yourself watching the entire series because of one simple click. It’s impossible to escape, and people who love TV shows and movies don’t even look for a way out. Now, I mentioned movies, because I can’t neglect that I have the entire Harry Potter movie marathon on my DVR right now. I had no other choice. The first part of seven was coming out and I couldn’t watch it without watching the others first. I’m

that way with all movies. I can’t watch the third Aladdin without watching the other two. Movies are like books. I may have seen them a thousand times, but I still have to start from the beginning. Movie marathons are not as easy to find on Netflix or Hulu. Netflix makes you order the DVDs, and Hulu has hardly any popular movies, let alone a complete set. You may own all the “Star Wars” series and every “Lord of The Rings,” but when you see it’s on TV and they’re running right after another, you know what to do. Close Facebook, go to the bathroom, and get comfy. Right now, that marathon is the most important thing in the world.

Marathons take away needed suspense, commitment that comes with joy of a TV show

elevision shows are a commitment. In order to truly enjoy one, you have to treat it like a human relationship. Spending a day or a weekend with a person can reveal a lot— but would you know them completely? Of course not. Similarly, TV shows shouldn’t be gobbled up in a few days. If you want the full experience of a good show, you need to dedicate more time. I can see the advantages of marathoning a TV show, especially if you have a LOT of episodes to get through. Anime is a perfect example. Shows like “Inuyasha” and “Naruto” stretch on for eons, so marathons are the only solution. If you take too much time, you won’t ever get finished. If you try to stop, you won’t start it up again. Another frustration in watching a show

you like is being forced to wait for the next episode or season. A marathon completely eliminates that factor, depending on how long your marathon is. While I can usually live with the anticipation, certain shows like “Breaking Bad” and “Mad Men” often steal my attention. Both shows typically don’t resolve their plot lines at the end of an episode. Being satisfied after one episode is nearly impossible. At the same time though, anticipation can also be one of the best aspects of TV watching. If waiting for the next installment was so painful, TV wouldn’t be successful. Everyone loves to have something to look forward to, which TV shows fulfill so well. If a show is popular, the anticipation can be sustained for at least months, if not

eRICA bARTZ years. As much as I love movies, looking forward to a particular movie can only last so long. Once I see it for the first time, the anticipation can’t be recaptured ever again. I love having the weekly ritual of watching “Project Runway” or “RuPaul’s Drag Race” with my friends, and talking them over. The good times can always continue. That brings me to my next point. Enjoying a show is always helped by discussion with fellow fans. If you’re marathoning a TV show, obviously you have to miss out on bonding with other fans while

the show is actually airing. Of course, bonding can still happen after you finishing watching it, but it’s not the same. Also, if it’s a show that’s already been off the air for a while, then excitement about the show is already over. If you’re bringing up old plots from “Heroes,” most likely it’s already been over-discussed. People will just be disinterested. The details of the plot lines are also easier to remember when taking more time to watch a show. I know that seems counter-intuitive. Wouldn’t it be easier to keep track of the plot if you watch a series in a few sittings? That would be true for a short time after you finish the series, but it doesn’t last. It’s like cramming for a test. You retain the information when it’s needed, but half of it disappears afterwards. “Mad Men” is now one of my favorite TV shows, and I feel like I know the characters intimately. However,

if you were to give me a test about the particulars of the plot, I’d probably fail. With other shows I spent years following, like “That 70s Show” and “Project Runway,” I could probably still lay out their entire histories, including romantic attachments and specific runway challenges. For TV watchers, there’s a certain pride in remembering all the plots. The most important difference, however, is taking more time provides more emotional connection to the characters and story. That’s not to say there’s no connection formed in marathoning. If a show is good enough, it won’t take long at all for the audience to relate. Nonetheless, taking longer to watch a TV show better imitates the passage of time in the show itself. Unless it’s a show like “24,” where time is stretched, there’s likely to be a long journey. By taking the journey with the characters, you’re better able to reflect on its messages and grow with the characters as well. Relating with the characters more enriches the experience. Mary H.K. Choi says in “In Praise of Binge TV Consumption” that she loves to marathon, because she “wants more, faster.” It’s an understandable thought in our instantgratification culture. People are better able to consume media quickly, so it’s a hard habit to break. However, it wouldn’t hurt to strive for at little more patience. If you’re willing to take entire weekends for a show, why not weeks or months? Television is probably one of least respected art forms, especially since the advent of reality shows. It’s easy to pick on TV with shows like “Teen Mom” and “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF.” Yet, it’s also been making a comeback in some ways. Besides AMC’s lineup, there’s also the many successes of HBO and Showtime, like “Flight of the Conchords” and “Dexter.” IFC also has hilarious shows like “Portlandia” and “The Whitest Kids U Know.” These shows are providing something very original. It’s more essential to spend time on them, otherwise, their efforts are practically wasted. Basically, television, even when it’s fantastic, can be so impermanent. It’s better to draw out the enjoyment while you can. Even Don Draper can only dazzle for so long. Erica Bartz is a senior film studies major. Reach her at ericabartz@ dailynebraskan.com.

To celebrate its 10-year anniversary, Iron Brush Tattoo will collaborate with Community Action to offer free tattoos to patrons and give back to the community

hat’s one way to do something positive for the Lincoln community? Get inked. Iron Brush Tattoo will be celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a charity event this Sunday. The shop has partnered with Community Action to give previous Iron Brush customers free tattoos with a minimum $20 donation to the charity. The event will not only serve as a celebration, but will also be an opportunity for customers to take part in a collaborative effort that will benefit Lincolnites. “We’ve been here for 10 years, so we were going to do a 10-year party where we just tattooed everybody for free,” said Tyson Schaffert of Iron Brush Tattoo who was also one of the event’s organizers. “And then we decided, well, why not do the same party, but just have it be for a charity? Basically we’ve been here for 10 years and we wanted to figure out a way to thank the community.” Aaron Bowen, chief operating officer of Community Action, has been a long-time customer of Iron Brush. According to Schaffert, the last time Bowen was in the shop getting tattooed, they were still deciding which charity to support in this event. Bowen shared some information about Community Action and the shop ultimately decided to sponsor them. Bowen and other staff of Community Action will be present on Sunday to provide information on their organization and collect donations. Bowen will also be kicking off the day by getting the first tattoo that his colleagues pick for him. “I have a connection to them, as well,” Bowen said. “The biggest thing we’re trying to emphasize is even if you don’t want to get tattooed or can’t get scheduled, you can still come in and make a donation to Community Action.” According to a case statement by Community Action, more than 35,000 people are living in poverty

Though television has evolved dramatically since its beginnings, it’s gone through few distinct “revolutions.” Until the 1980s, a handful of network stations commanded virtually the entire viewing audience, with brands like “The Brady Bunch” and “The Cosby Show.” Then came cable, where drama, news and comedy could flourish and evolve in their own focused markets. In October, YouTube announced plans to radically change the way the public watched television, once again through “channels”: dedicated programming set to change the average YouTube viewer’s 15 minutes a day into the four to five hours claimed by cable. On Jan. 16, an article in The New Yorker entitled “Streaming Dreams” investigated the progress and merits of YouTV, giving tangibility and insight to an obviously ambitious plan. So will YouTube spark a creative revolution, fizzle in its 2012 rollout or merely

Panel to discuss poetry translations rachel Staats

When Walt Whitman wrote “Leaves of Grass,” he did not intend it to be a rallying call for fascism in Italy, but after Luigi Gamberale translated the poem into Italian, that’s what it became. Today a panel, “Translation, Misappropriation, and the Politics of Language,” will discuss the implications of translation in literature, particularly with regard to how Whitman’s poems have served different political and social interests over the years. “He was anything but a fascist,” said Roland Vegso, assistant professor of English at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, adding that the masculine feel of Whitman’s poetry lead Gamberale to use Whitman’s work as political propaganda. The panelists will use guest lecturer Marina Camboni’s Jan. 18 talk, which details how Whitman’s poem was translated and interpreted to promote fascism as a launching pad, yet the panel itself is sure to take on a life of its own. The panel, composed of four professors; Vegso, Marta Skwara of the University of Szczecin in

It is inevitable that translations will differ from the original, said Végso. “If you hate making decisions, you shouldn’t work in translation,” he said, adding that most words and phrases can be translated multiple ways. Vegso, a translation theory scholar and enthusiast, is particularly excited about the panel, because it will call more attention to the significance of translation. “If your native language is English, you don’t think of the need to translate,”

Fassbender’s banner year indicates future THE BIT PLAYERS

‘Shame’ speaks to reality through craft McQueen’s second film reveals actuality of sex addiction via technical and performance craft tom helberg daily nebraskan

“Shame,” the second feature by Steve McQueen (not to be confused with the late American actor), is a difficult and incredibly crafted film. “Shame” follows Brandon (Michael Fassbender), a New Yorker who has a carefully built and secluded private life that allows him to feed his sexual addiction. His lifestyle and ability to indulge his addiction are disrupted when his sister, Sissy (Carey Mulligan), crashes at his place for an indefinite amount of time. McQueen was a visual artist before he became a director, and in “Shame”

he refines the techniques from his first film, “Hunger” (2008), which also starred Fassbender. “Hunger” featured a 16-minute continuous take midway through the film, which was itself part of a 24-minute scene. The scene was an achievement, though it radically altered the film’s pacing. Maybe that was the point. “Shame” features several masterful long takes that never outlast their welcome. A tracking shot of Fassbender on a late-night jog is incredibly artful and must have been difficult to stage. This and other shots would work as well in a video art gallery as they do pieces of a narrative film. Technical achievements aside, McQueen coaches fine performances out of his actors. Fassbender, as usual, is brilliant. His character wants to stop his compulsive behavior, but can’t and is wrecked with selfloathing.

SHAME Starring: Michael Fassbender, Carey Mulligan Mary Riepma Ross

Grade

A+

Mulligan is also good and plays against type, delving deeper into character than in her recent roles in “Drive” (2011) and “Never Let Me Go” (2010). Her character’s name, Sissy, is apt, in both her relation to Brandon and her sometimes childish behavior. She is most vulnerable in a performance of “New York, New York” in extreme close up both to Brandon and to the camera. This is a cry for help. McQueen’s visual mastery and the actor’s performances combine to make “Shame” quite extraordinary. tomhelberg@ dailynebraskan.com

Michael Fassbender has experienced a meteoric rise in 2011. A man of Irish and German descent, Fassbender has appeared in numerous Eurpoean art films, but has started to crack away at the American mainstream. The actor has been described as a chameleon and I think that’s an apt characterization.

Carl Jung in David Cronenberg’s “A Dangerous Method” (2011), a film that witnesses the birth of psychoanalysis. Fassbender disappears into Jung and is almost unrecognizable. At the beginning, he is sexually repressed, though he begins to indulge his desires after being influenced by a patient. In “Shame,” Fassbender’s character knows no limits to fulfill his sexual compulsions. Also, 2012 looks like another big year for Fassbender and he’s poised to become a breakout action star. He has a bit part in Steven Soderbergh’s “Haywire,” which opens today. This summer he will try to find the origins of humanity in space in Ridley Scott’s “Alien” prequel “Prometheus.” I hope, Fassbender can continue his balance of art films with blockbusters, as he proves time and again he’s one of the best actors working today. tom helberg is a senior film studies major.

brute. The steps that bridge those transformations will bore anyone waiting for a dramatic finale but delight anyone familiar with PTA meetings. It’s a psychological comedy as carefully calculated as “12 Angry Men,” though on a naturally less impressive scale. The overarching joke of “Carnage” is that the aggressive impulses parents righteously scold from their children are only buried by the formalities of adulthood. Polanski expertly bottles this joke and delivers it in a brisk and hilarious 79 minutes, an unambitious but satisfying achievement. cameronmount@ Dailynebraskan.com

This comes in the form of GED and supportive housing classes, as well as group case management. Group case management allows clients to work together to devise solutions to a specific person’s issues and concerns. This offers a form of self-empowerment, while creating a sense of community between clients. These connections are what Iron Brush’s charity event is all about. “In fact, someone was here getting tattooed and said that they had went through that (Community Action) program a few years earlier,” Schaffert said. “This was while I was tattooing someone from the Humane Society and we make posters for them too.” The shop is dedicated to working with a variety of facets within the Lincoln

the new content that’s been created has surprised us with how well it performs.” Though its professional content isn’t set to launch until later this year, YouTube has lined up an impressive number of channels from Amy Poehler, Madonna, Tony Hawk, The Onion, and even The Comedy Shaq Network. Still, the Internet is hardly a predictable business and many are skeptical as to what YouTube can pull off and whether it will make the difference its proponents claim. Wheeler Winston Dixon, professor of film studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, agrees that the tides are turning toward online video programming, but says the result will be much less dramatic than “a revolution.” “After founding itself with the slogan ‘Broadcast Yourself,’ YouTube simply wants to join the commercial programming parade, and offer Hollywood fare in competition with the cable networks,” Dixon said. “And guess who will win? YouTube, Google +, Amazon, Facebook; any of the social media sites that want to go commercial will eclipse conventional cable, dish or broadcast TV as the dominant medium within the next decade or so.” The result, Dixon believes, will ultimately be a marketdriven switch to a new platform. “This isn’t about creativity,” he said. “It’s about building audiences, selling advertisements and shifting cable programming, already heavily niche, driven and certainly not very creative -- to the web.” With YouTube acting as just another programming

and brands, claiming over 33 million subscribers and 500 million monthly views across more than 250 channels. “We were founded by YouTubers who wanted this help in their own careers, so we’ve always been a talent-first company,” Sievers said. “The founders were also disillusioned with the way that Hollywood did business, so they set out to build a company that allows talented people from all aspects of video production to come to work and create what they are passionate about every day.” Sievers says that if “YouTV” takes off, everyone will benefit. “There is still be a stigma out there that YouTube is a collection of viral videos and cat videos,” he said. “What this program is doing is showcasing original content that is both premium and made for web. If this program helps show the world that YouTube can be a place to go to watch high quality content, then everybody on the platform will benefit in some way.” One of the more interesting prospects is that much like the move to cable, YouTV could theoretically create infinite niche markets and then be able to innovate, collaborate and influence media, as a whole. “Rather than having to go through the time wasting and arduous process that traditional media has to go through to get content on the air, Maker (Studios) can just schedule a piece of content in and try it out,” Sievers said. “The most exciting part about adding more niche channels into the mix for us is that we have more areas where we get to have this kind of freedom.

provider, Dixon asserted that the media stage will remain largely the same. “Everyone wants to ‘monetize’ their bandwidth with product the masses will consume in vast quantities,” he said. “Homebrew programming can take a website just so far. As long as Hollywood has the lock on the talent, the money and the distribution networks, and don’t kid yourself that, while Hollywood needs Netflix and Red Box, the reverse is also very true, mainstream commercial programming will continue to be the ultimate goal of all these social media sites.” Certainly with products, like Netflix, Xbox Live, Google TV and the rumored iTV entering the conversation

at a consistently rapid rate, many, like Sievers, are curious about what will take hold next. “I think for me the real question is, ‘What role will our home TV screens play and how will it change over the next five years?’” Sievers said. “It will be very interesting to see what happens both in terms of what users really want to do and what the people who influence the industry are going to be OK with.” Only time will tell if “YouTV” sparks new creativity and viewing experiences, but Sievers is optimistic. “In an environment like that,” he said. “Anything a person could dream of making is allowed to exist.”

An exciting aspect of the panel is that many languages and cultures will be represented. Because the panelists come from varying backgrounds, attendees will experience influences from Italy, France, Poland and Hungary. The cultural inter-connectivity that may be seen in the panel is part of a broader push by the university to encourage international connections. The rise in popularity among study abroad programs lends itself to the introduction of translating with students, Vegso said.

hoppen: from 10 home floor with four games remaining. The win had every college basketball blog and article hyping the Huskers as a bubble team. NU sat at 18-8 with home games against Kansas State and Missouri and road showdowns with Iowa State and Colorado. None of those four were imposing tasks — only Missouri was ranked (No. 24) and the Cyclones and Buffaloes were both occupying the Big 12 cellar. But the Huskers dropped the Kansas State game and fell in overtime in Ames. They rebounded to beat Missouri, then face-planted against Colorado. A loss in the first round of the Big 12 tournament to Oklahoma State killed whatever sliver of NCAA dreams NU had left. The bubble popped. Maybe exploded is the right word. An easy post-Texas schedule laid the red carpet out for the Huskers to get to the Big Dance. Nebraska tripped over its feet. I don’t bring this up to open old wounds. I bring it up because this NU squad faces a similar situation as the one last year. Of course, it’s not exactly a mirror image. Even the most optimistic Nebrasketball enthusiast would shy away from predicting an NCAA bid. The Huskers are 10-8. They’d have to have a Herculean second half of the season to even sniff the

NCAA invitation list. But after the brutal start to Big Ten play, NU has a chance to rebound back to respectability and fight for coach Doc Sadler’s job. Observe the next four games: Saturday – Ohio State at home: After the fiasco in Columbus, it’s hard to imagine the Huskers tripping up the No. 6 Buckeyes. But you would have said the same thing last year against Texas. This is a very long shot, but not impossible. Jan. 26 – at Iowa: The Hawkeyes are 3-4 in the conference and 11-9 overall. They’ve beaten Wisconsin and Michigan but have been run out of the gym a few times by tough opponents. Feb. 2 – at Northwestern: The Wildcats certainly have talent and beat Michigan State less than a week ago. But they followed that win up with a 20-point loss to Wisconsin, and Penn State is their only other league win. Feb. 5 – Minnesota at home: Predicted to be an NCAA sleeper, the Gophers haven’t been the same since losing Trevor Mbakwe. An upset of Indiana is the only win of note on their schedule. That’s three very winnable games in the next four. A long list of things would have to go right for the Huskers to slay the Buckeyes, but Iowa, Northwestern and Minnesota are all teams near Nebraska’s caliber.

Nebraska coach Doc Sadler and the Huskers upset No. 2 Texas last season but went onto lose three of their next four games. NU is hoping to keep the momentum it gained from defeating No. 11 Indiana Wednesday night. In other words, they’re exactly the kind of teams NU struggles to beat after pulling its big upset. In past years, NU hasn’t been able to build any momentum after an emotional victory. The Huskers seem

to peak with that one game, and just when they get fans believing again, they lose three winnable games in a row. I repeat: I’m not suggesting the Huskers have the inside track to an NCAA slot as

they did last year. What they do have is an opportunity to get their season back on track with a favorable upcoming slate of games and get angry fans to stop calling for Sadler’s head. As Sadler leaped in

Nebraska sophomore Shannon Guy finished first in the 100-yard butterfly competition last week against Kansas with a time of 56.57.

NU’s practice intensity prepararing team for meet Huskers hope to bounce back from Kansas loss against Illinois Angela Hensel daily nebraskan

Practice for Nebraska swimmers and divers was sharp and focused Wednesday afternoon at the Devaney Natatorium. There wasn’t much noise besides the splashing of the water and NU head coach Pablo Morales yelling out split times for the swimmer’s sprints. The Huskers didn’t need much direction from their coach and knew just how fast they needed to be. “The practices right now are anaerobic and focusing on high-intensity,” Morales said. “We are gradually starting to taper off to prepare for the Big Ten Championships, although the swimmers might not know it yet.” At this point of the season it is all about perfection for the Huskers and they will need it for their home meet Saturday against Illinois. The Huskers haven’t beaten the Fighting Illini since 2007 after facing them in dual meets for the past four seasons. For both teams, though, this victory would give them great momentum. Illinois has lost its last two dual meets, falling to Iowa and Southern Illinois this past week. After finishing last in the Big Ten

Championships in 2011, a win against Nebraska could give the Illini a good shot in improving upon their place from last year. After losing to Kansas in a close meet last weekend, a win for the Huskers could give them some confidence against Big Ten competition. “Both teams should match up pretty well,” Morales said. “We are both coming off good, close meets with Illinois’ meet against Iowa and ours this past weekend against Kansas.” The two had a chance to preview each other earlier this season at the TYR Invitational in Evanston, Ill. Illinois finished in second with 694 points while Nebraska finished fourth with 517. Although it may seem like the Huskers will have a tough shot against the Fighting Illini after those results, that meet was without Nebraska’s diving squad, which is a bright spot for the team and has been key in earning critical points for the Huskers this season. “I’m expecting a good race in each event,” Morales said. “We need to have good turns and finishes. Last week our dual meet against Kansas was there for the taking, we just lost out on off touches into the wall.” One of the swimmers that will be crucial to Nebraska’s meet on Saturday will be sophomore Shannon Guy. Guy helped gain points this past weekend by finishing first in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 56.57 and

Last week our dual meet against Kansas was there for the taking, we just lost out on off touches into the wall.” Pablo Morales nebraska swim coach

swam the breastroke leg in the winning 200-yard medley relay with a split of 29.83 against Kansas. “Right now our focus is pretty much on sprinting all out as fast as you can,” said Guy. “We are working on our speed, turns, the little, finer details.” When Nebraska swam in the TYR Invitational, Guy had another strong performance in the 100-yard butterfly by finishing third overall and four spots ahead of Illinois’ top finisher, Brittany McGowan. McGowan came back in the 50-yard butterfly to out touch Guy by sixhundredths of a second in that same meet, making for what should be good competition between the two on Saturday. As close of a meet as this is expected to be, Guy said she and the rest of the swimmers will need to focus on those finer details to secure points for the Huskers. “With all of our close finishes last weekend, we need to make sure those last turns are perfect,” Guy said. angelahensel@ dailynebraskan.com

When Deanna Barmore came to the Nebraska women’s gymnastics team last year, she was mostly used as a reserve. This season, the sophomore has made a name for herself in the team’s 2012 lineup. Barmore competed in the teams’ season debut Jan. 13 against the Denver Pioneers and said she was excited to show off her improvements. “I was mentally preparing throughout the week and I wanted to show everyone what I can do,” she said. “Having the first meet at home is always exciting.” Barmore began the meet on vault as the first gymnast to perform for the No. 1 Huskers this season. The Omaha native admitted that she was nervous performing first for her team. “It was pretty nerve-wracking,” Barmore said. “But I went up to one of my teammates right before I went on and she helped me stay calm. Also, having my team back me up always helps trim the nerves down a little bit.” Those nerves quickly faded as Barmore tallied a careerhigh score of 9.875 to begin the Huskers’ season.

NU continues Big Ten play at Indiana, versus PU zach Tegler daily Nebraskan

Doubt is a powerful emotion. It can chip away at even the most fearless competitors and hamper their mindsets. So even though the Nebraska wrestling team’s last outing resulted in defeat, don’t think for a second that its members aren’t confident. “Just got to go out, compete hard, compete to our abilities, try to take care of business,” NU senior Tucker Lane said. Tonight, the No. 7 Huskers will wrestle on the road in Big Ten competition for the first time when they meet No. 29 Indiana in Bloomington, Ind. But NU’s work this weekend will not be finished after its tussle with the Hoosiers. Nebraska will return to Lincoln for a matchup against No. 37 Purdue on Sunday afternoon. NU coach Mark Manning said wrestling duels on a Friday and a Sunday is new to his team, but it will not be much of a factor. “We’ve wrestled a lot of times Friday/Saturday, so (we) shouldn’t really mind Friday/Sunday,” Manning said. A week after his team’s first loss of the season, Manning is excited to watch the Huskers bounce back. “We’ll see Friday night when we wrestle Indiana, we’ll see them when we wrestle Sunday,” he said. “I think it’s all about seeing how we’re going to perform.” Although the Hoosiers are

ranked 22 spots lower than Nebraska in the national rankings, they boast top-20 wrestlers at 149 pounds and 197 pounds. “Obviously we’re a little higher ranked than they are but we just got to be ready to go,” Lane said. “They’re going to be physical and they’re going to be looking to score a win against us.” Purdue will provide the Huskers an opponent of similar stature. The Boilermakers also have two ranked individuals: one in the 133-pound weight class and one in the 184-pound division. Nebraska’s Ridge Kiley and Josh Ihnen, respectively, are also ranked in those weight classes. “I’m interested to see how our guys match up there,” Manning said. But first things first. The duel against Indiana will provide the Huskers an opportunity to avenge their first loss of the year last week. “We’ll see how they responded Friday night,” Manning said. “That’s how I judge it. We’ll see while we wrestle and compete.” The NU coach also said the team will learn from its loss against No. 2 Iowa. “There are some doors and barriers we’ve got to knock down and wrestling a team like that will definitely do it,” Manning said. “We’ll be better because of it. We’re going to use every aspect to make ourselves better.” For Lane, mental strength makes all the difference. “I’m just trying to take care

I’m just trying to go out there and give 100 percent effort and let the wrestling take care of itself.” Manning said he believes the Huskers are prepared to

compete hard and get back on the winning track. “That’s what you wrestle for. Go out there and make a statement,” he said. He added that when it comes to experience for his team, there is no substitute to being under the lights. “Competition’s what it’s all about. I love practice, but

in the heat of battle. “I know they’ve got my back no matter what. We all know that,” Lane said. Support can lend confidence. And confidence is a powerful emotion. “I have no doubt in my team,” Manning said. “No doubts.” zachtegler@ dailynebraskan.com

women’s: from 10 However, the Huskers shot far below their 3-point average Thursday night. Nebraska was just 7 for 29 from three shooting, an abysmal 24 percent. “We had open shots tonight but we just couldn’t convert,” guard Lindsey Moore said. Despite the second straight loss there were some bright spots for the Husker offense. Freshman Emily Cady finished with her best offensive performance of her young Husker career scoring a game-high 24 points with seven rebounds, despite missing almost the entire first half with foul trouble. “We figured Emily would have a good matchup tonight,” Yori said. “(It was) exciting that she was able to create coming off the dribble tonight, because her defender was bigger than her.” Sophomore Jordan Hooper made a

Chris Peters Last year’s Adidas Classic was a big meet for Tommy Brinn. In the 1,000-meter run, Brinn set a personal record time of 2:26.62, good for second place in the meet. He’s not likely to break it this weekend. Brinn said he doesn’t expect to beat any personal records because the team is on a training cycle. “This year it’s a different mentality,” Brinn said. “Last year we were training really hard for this meet. This time we’re training through this meet.” Brinn explained that the team has been training in cycles. The adidas Classic doesn’t act as the peak of the current training cycle the team has been on. “For us, we’re peaking for certain meets,” Brinn said. “Really we’re just starting to train through the races and peak. The week after (next week’s Mark Colligan Memorial) we will actually rest up for the meet and really crank one out.” Saturday’s Adidas Classic, which begins at 12:30 p.m. in the Bob Devaney Sports Center, will be Nebraska’s first scored meet of the season. Nebraska’s opponents at the meet, scored by NCAA scoring, will be Air Force, Houston, Iowa and Wichita State. While Brinn said he doesn’t expect any incredible numbers, he said there’s a big gap between last week’s Holiday Inn Invitational and this week’s meet. “Last week also the coach didn’t really want us to strain anything,” Brinn said. “He wanted us to run relaxed; not trying to get pushed or get hurt. This week we’ll actually be running hard.” Brinn, as well as jumps coach Dusty Jonas, agreed that last week was mostly about shaking off the cobwebs of the offseason and making sure that all the training was working. Jonas said that in addition to this meet being scored, competition is a big difference in this week’s meet, which features exclusively Division 1 schools. “This weekend is a scored meet with a few teams coming that are a bit better,” Jonas said. “It’s going to be an interesting measuring stick for us.” At last year’s Adidas Classic, also held in the Devaney Center, the Husker men came away with a 179.5-134 victory against second place Houston, while the women won 190-115.5 against second place Wichita State. While Jonas said he wasn’t sure Nebraska would dominate

when people grow and develop and get better and get mentally tougher is when they go out there on the mat,” Manning said. And even though Friday’s competition will be away from Lincoln, Lane relishes the chance to bond with his teammates on the road trip — something he said counts

reemergence on the offensive end for the Huskers after struggling the last few games. Hooper finished with her eighth double-double on the season, scoring 19 points and recording 14 rebounds. Moore also had a strong game for Nebraska, scoring 13 points and dishing out a team-high six assists. Taking away Hooper, Cady and Moore, the rest of the Nebraska squad was just 5 for 30 from the field. Overall as a team, the Huskers shot just 33 percent from the field. Nebraska returns to Lincoln on Sunday to take on Minnesota (10-9, 2-3), beginning a two game home stretch. Hooper said the Huskers will take the loss to the Buckeyes as motivation for the next contest. “Take this and use it as fuel and a learning experience for this game,” Hooper said.

Middle distance runner Tommy Brinn recorded a personal best 2:26.62 in the 1,000-meter run in last year’s adidas Classic. the meet, he said he was confident in the team’s progression. “I think everybody’s progressing,” Jonas said. “I’m definitely expecting some improvement from the jumpers and across the track.” Some of that improvement came last week, when Brinn, a middle distance runner, won the 800 meter run and set a personal record in the 600 meter run en route to a first place finish. Distance coach David Harris said he was impressed by Brinn’s performance, and has placed him on the “A” squad of the 4x400 meter relay team this week, replacing freshman sprinter London Hawk. “Really we’re just trying to

get everyone to run and to get good times,” Brinn said. “We’re not really worried about running really fast as a team. We’re just trying to get good splits.” Good splits could be crucial for Nebraska this weekend. One area where the Huskers fell short in last season’s adidas Classic was in the sprints. Houston dominated the sprint events, taking five of the top six spots in men’s sprints (60 meter and 200 meter dashes) and five of the top eight spots in the same women’s events. While sprinting may be an uphill battle this weekend, there is one noticeable name missing from the participants list. Iowa All-American triple

jumper Troy Doris will not be joining his Hawkeye teammates in Lincoln this weekend, leaving second team All-American triple jumper and All-American long jumper Chris Phipps of Nebraska the favorite to sweep the jumping events. Second team All-American triple jumper and long jumper Mara Griva joins last week’s winners, Anna Weigandt (triple jump) and Kara Mostoller (long jump) as favorites to sweep the long jump and triple jump. In addition to the Adidas Classic, the Huskers will also be competing in the Nebraska Wesleyan Invitational at the Devaney Center today. ChrisPeters@ dailynebraskan.com

Wednesday, and Talley believes the team will be prepared for the Buckeyes. “We’re a lot more confident,” he said. “We’re definitely ready for Ohio State at home. We expect to come out and play well against them.” The Huskers will need all the confidence they can muster. Ohio State is ranked sixth in the country and throttled NU in almost every statistical category in their Jan. 3 matchup. The Huskers had as many turnovers as field goals and were outrebounded 42-18. Ohio State coach Thad Matta called it the best defensive game his team has played all season. This time around, NU gets the services of Talley and Jorge Brian Diaz, who both sat out the first game with injuries. In Big Ten play, the Huskers average 59.8 points per game when the duo plays. In the games they missed, NU averaged 45 points. The players seemed loose and confident at practice Thursday, basking in the memories of their upset the night

before. But coach Doc Sadler was quick to remind them to stay focused. “If we sit back and think we’ve arrived, we’re fixing to get our head beat in on Saturday night,” Sadler said. “So we’d better move on and we’d better move on quick.” Early on in the Big Ten season, the Huskers didn’t move on well after games. They let mistakes build on each other, resulting in five consecutive losses to kick off conference play. That poor stretch has Sadler rethinking his stance on the league’s scheduling policies. His team’s slow start put a premium on getting any wins available, and the road to improvement starts Saturday. “I hated the 18 game schedule until we started 1-5 and now I’m glad we’re playing 18 games in league,” Sadler said with a smile Wednesday night. “There is so much basketball left for this basketball team. It’s not going to be easy. We’ve got a pretty good team coming in here Saturday.” danhoppen@ dailynebraskan.com

n Dec. 27, the Huskers were battered around in their first Big Ten Conference game, falling 64-40 to Wisconsin. The Badgers battered NU around like a younger sibling that wasn’t ready for his shot against big brother. Two weeks later, the Huskers traveled up to Madison and gave that same Wisconsin

squad all it could handle. A turnover in the final seconds robbed NU of a chance to tie the game and the Badgers prevailed 50-45. Dylan Talley sees a lot of similarities between that set of games and the one the Huskers will conclude Saturday when they take on Ohio State for the second time this season. The first go-around was a 71-40

debacle in Columbus. But Talley said the Huskers feel stronger this time around. The near-victory against Wisconsin (a game Talley felt the Huskers should have won) provided NU with a sense it could play with anyone, even a team that had blown them out a few weeks prior. Couple that with the fact that the Huskers are coming off

Well, there it is Nebrasketball fans. Every year, it seems, the Huskers score an upset over a ranked team, almost always on their home floor. Texas, Kansas State and even Kansas have provided students with court-mobbing opportunities in recent years. This time, it was Indiana’s turn. The Huskers shocked the Hoosiers with a 70-69 win Wednesday night, overcoming a 13-point second-half deficit to knock off the nation’s 11th-ranked team. Once again, NU has given fans a glimmer of hope that it has finally turned the corner and become a consistent squad capable of making a run at the NCAA tournament. The key word here is “glimmer.” It’s a glimmer, because it is one game against an opponent who had lost two games in a row coming into Lincoln and has won two conference road games the past two years. It’s a glimmer, because the Huskers lost five of their first six games in conference play before Wednesday, including blowout losses against Wisconsin (64-40) and Ohio State (71-40). It’s a glimmer, because we’ve seen this story play out before. Last year, NU pulled off an even bigger surprise by upending No. 2 Texas on its

top five of the Big Ten in 3-point shooting, averaging 36 and 33 percent, respectively.
