Students gain experience through local fashion Students learn skills needed to own, run boutique through jobs, internships
There’s also a pretty good amount of creative liberty with my job.”
madeline christensen dn There’s much more to working in fashion retail than one might assume. Just ask Kara King, a senior advertising major and employee at Francesca’s boutique, and she’ll tell you she’s definitely not the stereotypical girl working at the mall. “I’ve worked in restaurants as well, and I work harder in retail than anywhere else,” King said. “I don’t mind it because I really like it and I hope to continue to work in fashion and retail but I think people just think, ‘Oh, you work in the mall, it must be so easy.’” Although King is majoring in advertising and public relations, her concentration is in textiles. “That’s more of what I want to go into when I graduate,” King said. As a part-time manager at Francesca’s, King said she is gaining valuable experience to prepare for the rest of her career in the fashion world. “There’s a lot of visual merchandising involved,” King said. “There’s also a pretty good amount of creative liberty with my job. There’s no set standard of what a table has to look like or what shelves have to have on them. We get some guidelines from corporate headquarters, but if I see a really cute dress that we get in and I think it’s something that would sell really well, I can put it on a mannequin, for instance.” King said that, at some point in time, she would like to own her own boutique. “I would like to be in charge of

“I found the internship when my college sent an email that said there was a opportunity for an internship at Embellish,” Dennis said. “I thought it sounded cool so I applied. I interviewed. It was awesome, and I got the position.” Although it’s not a paid internship, Dennis said she enjoys the process of designing. “I just craft all day,” she said. “We set up meetings to decide what we want, when we want it and how we’re going to do it.”

a corporate company and eventually go into visuals or maybe retail marketing,” King said. “But what I want to do always changes from day to day.” Laura Dennis, a senior fashion merchandising major, is also working her way into the fashion world with an internship at Embellish in downtown Lincoln. Dennis imagines and creates the whimsical displays in the windows of the boutique, which opened in August 2011.
Dennis said she hopes working at the boutique will be a stepping stone to a bigger corporate position, but her experience on the job has been essential to her future career. She said the most important thing she’s learned so far is that in the fashion and retail world, communication is key. “I’ve also learned a lot about craftsmanship through working at Embellish,” Dennis said. “For example, I’ve been working a lot with wood lately. It sounds crazy, but I would tell high school students who want to go into fashion merchandising to take wood shop. If you get into merchandising, one of the coolest things you could do is know how to work with wood.” Because of her interest in fashion public relations, Dennis has also worked for Embellish through social media, whether it’s tweeting or taking pictures for the boutique’s blog, embellishlife.com. “If I someday want to own my own store, this would be an amazing experience,” Dennis said. “Not even just the merchandising side of things, but even everything that has to do with running a store that I see my manager do.“ And it definitely isn’t easy, Dennis added. “A common misconception about owning a boutique is that you make your own hours, and you don’t ever really have to be there,” she said. “You definitely have to be there all the time. If you’re not making any money, then you’re doing something wrong. People don’t realize it’s a lot of money work, a lot of math. It’s like running any other kind of business, it’s not just about fashion.” arts@ dailynebraskan.com

success UNL student designer to walk runway for first time
story by yuliya petrova | photos by kaylee everly
K
aitlyn Coufal, a sophomore textiles and design major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is a double-threat. She has been designing clothes since an early age and now, with her first attempt at modeling, Coufal is hitting the ground of the fashion world running. “I really liked clothes, and I always wanted a job to dress up with,” Coufal said. “My senior year (of high school) was when I actually knew I wanted to do fashion (as a career) for sure.” Until recently Coufal has designed women’s apparel – dresses are her favorite thing to create – and other projects for classes. As she prepares to try on the dress instead of design it, she said she thinks it will be good to experience the other side of the fashion world. “I would definitely design, that would be the main thing, but if I could model too that would be fun,” Coufal said. Coufal has learned different tips of the trade as she prepared to walk the runway. “The most important thing when you’re out there is to be confident in what you’re modeling, because you’re modeling it for the designer,” Courfal said.

Kaitlin Coufal, a sophomore textiles and design major poses in her designs. Coufal began designing when she was 8 years old for 4-H competitions. “I would love to be walking around and see people wearing my designs,” Coufal said. But she offered a word of advice for up-and-coming designers as well: it’s important to go after what you love, and to start young because it’s challenging. Coufal has pursued her love for design since she was 8 years old, when she learned the basics of sewing in her 4-H club. Other than participating in 4-H, Coufal attended the 2010 Big Red Summer Academic Camp during the summer between her junior and senior year of high school. During camp students participated in two competitions that resembled those shown on “Project Runway.” Coufal said one challenge they had to complete was to turn a dress from Goodwill into a fashionable skirt. In the second challenge students were given two Tshirts to redesign. “I was actually impressed and liked mine,” Coufal said. “We dyed our own fabric, and we were able to design our own final piece. I made a dress in which we used our dyed fabric. We also made duct tape mannequins with our body as the mold.” Lily Pulitzer’s fashion collections are one of Coufal’s favorite design brands, and Lauren Conrad, Nicole Miller and Natalie Chanin are designers that Coufal said she wants to collaborate with someday. “I want to design clothes that are affordable for people, that people would wear and (are) not super high-fashion,” Coufal said. “I want to design things that people could wear around campus.” Coufal watches fashionthemed shows like “Project Runway” and “Say Yes To the Dress,” which have even inspired her to one day design wedding gowns. Gifts she presents to friends and family for holidays and special occasions are usually a unique craft she made herself. Corfal said she enjoys reading Vogue and Elle. With dreams of creating her own line, one day her designs might be showcased on the pages of these same magazines.
“She is so organized in her working method, she has a lot of options for her future,” said Wendy Weiss, a professor of textiles, merchandising & fashion design. Coufal’s current classmates in the textiles and design school notice her years of experience in sewing and design. “She always has a way to put something unique into her designs to make it interesting and exciting,” said Janessa Evert, a sophomore textiles and merchandising major. Since Coufal continued her calling for fashion at UNL, she has completed many design projects in her classes at the textiles and design school, including Project Funway. It was a fundraiser for the Fresh Start Home, in which design students completed a denim-re-do challenge by creating new outfits out of old denim, which they presented on the ‘funway’. Coufal believes her involvement in the textiles and design school will help provide her with more knowledge in her future design career. “I love our program here; I’ve had a great experience with our professors and the help that they give, and the content that we are learning,” Courfal added. Coufal’s designs have even been admired by her professors. “She is a very strong design student; she impressed me with her repeat print, a project we had,” Weiss said. “Kaitlyn always worked hard, with a lot of care and thought. She is a quiet student (so) I didn’t know how good she was until I saw her finished project.” All designers add their own personal statement on fashion themes, and Coufal is no different. She has confidently developed her own design aesthetic. “I like looking at bright and colorful things, I’m a vibrant person,” Coufal said. “I love fashion because it’s the way you can express what you want. With fashion you can go along with other people, but then fashion is also about being yourself and making it your own.” arts@ dailynebraskan.com

Mentors take time out of their week to hang out with their little brothers and sisters. “Big Brother and Big Sister mentors spend time with their littles doing recreational and educational activities in the community and in school,” Juranek said. “They meet weekly and spend time together doing things they enjoy like going to movies, baseball games, museums or visiting the library.” Mentors’ guidance and time drive the program and help to steer mentees in the right direction. “We want to ensure that all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential,” Juranek said. “Big Brother and Big Sister mentors help youth to explore opportunities they otherwise would not have, they help them to feel more confident and do better in school while also improving their relationships with their friends and family.” Thursday night will strengthen relationships between Lincoln businesses and participants in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. “As an organization that depends on support from the community, both in terms of volunteers and donations, we are always very grateful to take part in community events that share what we do as Big Brothers Big Sisters,” Juranek said. arts@ dailynebraskan.com

fashion is (re)cyclical UNL Enactus, Salvages partner with Sri Lankan women to make sustainable jewelry s t o ry
b y
A
s Sriyani Tidball and her husband wandered the Sri Lankan beach slums in 1980, one demographic stood out. “The things we noticed were the women: very poor, totally marginalized, using their children for begging, starving their children,” Tidball, an advertising lecturer at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said. “They had no educational skills, no real way to make money.” Soon after, the couple started Community Concern Society, a nongovernmental organization that helps the poor using programs that value community, family and education. One program is Salvage, which teaches poverty-stricken women to craft jewelry out of recycled materials. “Women are helping other women in similar situations, as well as making money for their families,” Tidball said. “It’s a fascinating process.” The process begins with Ruby Studio, a Sri Lanka-based company founded by Tidball’s daughter. “When (my daughter) graduated, she started her own business and felt like she wanted to do something creative to help women,” Tidball said. “They (Ruby Studio) are designers; they do these absolutely amazing designs.” The designs become reality in the workshop, where impoverished women create jewelry, gift cards and purses out of cast-off supplies. “Everything is recycled – they are leftovers, bottle caps, leather, fabric – they are actually really good materials,” Tidball said. The women are paid for the products they make, and the proceeds from jewelry sales go back into rehabilitation programs: an HIV drop-in center, as well as another CCS project Heavena, which is a temporary refuge for homeless and abused women and children.

But aside from a few exclusive boutiques, the market for recycled jewelry in Sri Lanka is limited. That’s where Carla Talmadge comes in. Salvage recently teamed up with UNL Enactus, a program that aims to empower students to benefit their communities through business and entrepreneurship. Talmadge, a junior communications major and project leader for the UNL Enactus-Salvage partnership, said she is passionate about Salvage’s mission. “My two biggest things are helping women and improving the environment in whatever ways we can,” she said. Salvage jewelry comes to Nebraska in what Talmadge describes as a fairly “primitive process.” After Tidball brings back boxes of jewelry from her visits to Sri Lanka, the UNL Enactus-Salvage team works to market the products in the United States. “We try to partner with nonprofits to maximize the good it can do. We do hope to get into retailers,” Talmadge said. “At first we are just dipping our toes into the waters as far as partnering with organizations and events.” One of these events is the DN Fashion Show. Salvage will be selling jewelry at the show, as well as explaining to buyers the multi-step process it takes for both recycling and rehabilitation in Sri Lanka. Talmadge said she is excited to be involved in Salvage’s future. “I’m very interested in empowering women, especially an international organization; I don’t want my activity to be limited to our borders,” she said. According to Talmadge, though, collaboration is key for the project’s success. “I think a big part of it is that it requires a team to be able to undertake

College of Journalism and Mass Communications recieves grant for new, improved broadcasting equipment story by Conor Dunn photo by Brianna Soukup

roadcasting majors at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will soon be using upgraded equipment on par with what they’ll work with in the professional world. The Nebraska Broadcasters Association recently announced it will give the University of Nebraska Foundation a $100,000 grant over the next five years to upgrade broadcasting equipment at the College of Journalism and Mass Communications. “I’ve been here for 27 years, and it’s the biggest gift I can remember,” said associate broadcasting professor Rick Alloway. Although the college receives monetary donations to its radio programming every now and then, it hasn’t received a large donation for the school’s television operations in broadcasting professor Laurie Lee’s memory – and she’s worked at UNL since 1992. Installation of the new equipment is expected to occur during the summer, according to Lee. She said the money has been split for replacing radio and television equipment, some of which is between 23 and 37 years old, according to a UNL press release.

The mixing board used by Maass and Messman will be replaced with new equipment this summer.

UNL graduation rate remains behind peer institutions 6-year rate sees upward swing but is still below that of peer institutions staff report DN Although graduation rates at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln are on an upward trend, the numbers still lag behind those of peer institutions. UNL’s six-year graduation rate for 2010-2011 was 66.6 percent, a 2.4 percent increase from the previous year but still lower
than the 70 percent average graduation rate at comparable institutions, according to university data. Amy Goodburn, associate vice chancellor for Academic Affairs at UNL, said it’s difficult to compare graduation rates among universities because of differing admissions standards. “Our admissions requirements are a little different than other universities,” Goodburn said. “We tend to enroll students who are differently prepared for college.” Goodburn said as a land-grant institution, UNL takes a bigger chance on admitting students. At UNL, 26 percent of stu-
dents were in the top 10 percent of their high school classes, compared to an average of 34 percent of students at comparable institutions in fall 2012, according to Goodburn. “We take a great gamble,” Goodburn said. “We believe our gamble is worth it too, because we still tend to graduate most of our students.” UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman set a goal for the university to reach a 70 percent six-year graduation rate by 2017 at his State of the University address in fall 2011. “If we increased (our six-year graduation rate) by 1 percent per year, by 2017 we would achieve a
70 percent rate, which would put us at the average of our peers and would far exceed what is expected of us,” Perlman said in his 2011 speech. “We can accomplish this objective without changing our admissions standards or decreasing access to the university.” UNL’s graduation rates have increased 4.6 percent since 2000. The rates were on a steady upward swing until 2012, when graduation rates dropped 2 percent, to 64.6 percent, according to university data. “The slight decrease in graduation rates this year was expected because there had been a corre-

Former UNL Flyer misrepresents housing staff student dies in car accident Elias Youngquist DN
Staff Report DN A former University of NebraskaLincoln student and recent University of Nebraska Medical Center graduate died Monday morning from injuries sustained in a car accident near Sutherland, Neb. Korey Huebner, 24, of Hershey, Neb., was a 2012 nursing graduate of UNMC, according to her obituary. Since graduating, Huebner had worked as a registered nurse at Southlake Village Rehabilitation & Care Center in Lincoln. Huebner attended UNL, where she became a member of Alpha Phi sorority, before transferring to nursing school at UNMC. She was also a member of Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church and was the coordinator of the More Beautiful You Legacy Program for young women. Huebner was born Oct. 5, 1988 and attended Hershey Public Schools from kindergarten until she graduated high school in 2007. According to the Lincoln
Country Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to the intersection of North Prairie Trace Road and West Platte Valley Road, north of Sutherland shortly after midnight on Monday. There was a report that a vehicle had run off the road, and at least one person sustained serious injuries. Alcohol appeared to be involved in the accident, and Huebner wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, according to a North Platte Post article. Huebner was taken to Great Plains Regional Medical Center, and then transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney, where she died early Monday morning. Two others, Micah Koch, 24, and Jay Shotkoski, 28, both of Hershey, were in the vehicle with Huebner and were injured in the crash. Funeral services for Huebner will be at 11 a.m. on Saturday at the Hershey High School East Gymnasium, 301 S. Lincoln Ave. Visitation will be from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday. news@ dailynebraskan.com
Students at Harper Hall received a threat early this week of room-byroom searches in response to missing furniture. Harper staff hung flyers warning that if the furniture wasn’t returned by Jan. 29, room checks would occur on every floor Jan. 30. But the room checks never occurred. According to Keith Zaborowski, associate director of University Housing Residence Life, housing staff don’t conduct room searches. “The staff member that put it up was misinformed,” Zaborowski said. “We would not go from room to room searching for the furniture. It’s just stuff we don’t do. It shouldn’t have happened.” “Well...Obviously we got a furniture stealer in Haprer (sic) Hall,” read the sign, which bore a picture of Antoine Dodson, the star of the “Hide Your Kids, Hide Your Wife” news segment that amassed millions of views on YouTube. “If all the furniture is not returned by Tuesday, January 29th the Harper staff will be doing room checks on all floors and all room Wednesday 30th! We goin find you.” Zaborowski said the signs had been taken down. The typical procedure for missing furniture, he said, is to threaten to charge the floor with the bill for the furniture unless the items are returned to the
lobby or study room. “We’re just trying to get (the furniture),” Zaborowski said. “We don’t want to bill anyone for anything.” While floor-wide checks are not protocol, Housing still reserves the right to enter any room under circumstances laid out in the housing contract. After knocking, housing staff may enter the room to protect and preserve UNL property, enforce housing policies, in response to a complaint of a disturbance of loud sound, to respond to health or safety issues and for repairs. “Lets say you’re in a corner room, and we know there’s a lot of people in there, and it’s getting out of control, maybe (we) hear something breaking,” Zaborowski said. “We’ll let the police handle it. We’re just not into the habit of getting into student’s rooms.” Cases where Housing staff enter the room are infrequent, Zaborowski said, and usually relate to the health or safety of students instead of policy violations. “There was maybe one scenario where we keyed into the room, and the police were there. There was a lot of people in the room; it was definitely something that needed to stop,” Zaborowski said. “Just because they won’t open the door, we have to handle the situation. That’s the only reason we would enter. Ninety-nine-point-something per-

Facebook’s Graph Search will not threaten privacy Some think Facebook’s new Graph Search brings a new aspect to creeping. With the new feature, Facebookers can sift through their lists of friends with ease simply by typing in a topic of their choice such as “Friends from Lincoln” or “friends whose favorite restaurant is Olive Garden.” Ari Melber, an attorney and correspondent for The Nation magazine, wrote in a blog post for the Huffington Post, “Graph Search, may be the company’s largest privacy infraction.” This statement is a little blown out of proportion. It’s on the user, not the company itself, to make sure his or her page is private to his or her own desires. If a person has his or her Facebook account on public, then that person’s information will be available for non-Facebook friends to view. This is the main reason why Melber is upset. There is a simple solution to the problem, though: Fix your privacy settings. Facebook users don’t have to share their information to the world. People can go to the top right-hand corner of the home page and click the settings tab. All the privacy information is right there. If they want even more privacy, perhaps they should just abstain from Facebook altogether. Joining a social network such as Facebook is to give up a bit of one’s privacy and accept the fact that you are putting yourself in a public domain. This new Graph Search is cool. It provides Facebook users the ability to find ideal activities and tasty restaurants. Graph Search has not been officially launched yet, but if it does come out, do yourself a favor and change your privacy settings.

hould same-sex couples be allowed to marry? Will it be detrimental or helpful to the institution of marriage? Both of these are questions that have plagued households and courtrooms in many states. Yet, when one dives deeper into the issue it’s easy to see the benefits of approving civil unions, even if you’re conservative. Homosexuality and marriage can be approached from two angles. The traditional angle is whether or not marriage is meant for same-sex couples. The newer, alternative angle contains the idea that a same-sex union could reinforce conservative values. Many conservatives support same-sex unions – this is where I stand. We are very avid but under-reported in the news. According to “The Conservative Case for Gay Marriage,” by Theodore B. Olson, conservatives who oppose gay marriage are looking at it the wrong way. He argues same-sex unions promote his conservative values because as a conservative, one usually believes both marriage and family are the building blocks of our country. A union based on equality reinforced by a homosexual union would only show that marriage has gained a wider acceptance. This would enforce conservative values and all that America stands for. The common family – whether nuclear or unconventional – makes up a central pillar of our communities and our country. Without a family and the values it instills in our children, our country would not be as great as it is today. Because of this, marriage needs to be protected. The best way to do this for conservatives like me is to allow civil unions. We are already headed in the right direction; there just needs to be a few changes. According to recent report, 10 states and Washington D.C. allow gay marriage, and 9 more allow civil unions, which many in the gay community see as a step in the right direction. Homosexuals want to be able to enter into wedlock for all the same reasons as heterosexuals. For starters, they can now legally bind themselves to their partner in certain areas. Everyone wants a relationship that is
ZACH NOLD based on equality and obtains all the benefits of a married, straight couple. Yet, gays find it harder than heterosexuals to do this because of the lack of binding paperwork. They want to enter into a union that projects the theme of love. They believe, like all straight couples, that they would be entering a loving, affectionate relationship based on equality. Aside from equality, one must think about benefits. According to Tom Head, a writer for about.com in the civil liberties section, gays are being discriminated against because of a lack of benefits. Among many benefits denied gay couples, one stands out in particular: taxes. A straight couple saves money on taxes by filing together. A gay couple isn’t allowed to do that in many states. If equality is what our country preaches, then that should be what everyone receives – assuming they follow the rules and are serious about contributing to the institution that they support. Which leads me to ask: Why should a government be included in marriage anyway? Government didn’t create the idea of marriage. Marriage was created by the church ages ago. So, if something or someone other than a government created it, then the government shouldn’t regulate it. Government has intervened too much in marriage, and the binding contract that is marriage was only created to keep certain people in or out. There is a creative fix for these issues though, one many of you haven’t heard about.
Take the government out of marriage. Allow them to grant a civil union that holds the same benefits and binding contracts to anyone who wishes. Then leave the application of the term marriage up to a church. So, if a church doesn’t want to marry a same-sex couple they shouldn’t be forced too. This means that gay couples can either find a church that will grant them this symbolism, or they can create their own church. The final issue of course comes down to political gain. If conservatives approve civil union measures, but won’t receive support from the gay community afterwards for approving them, then you can kiss the idea of a civil union goodbye. This is the greatest reason why a federal civil union measure will not pass. This has already been shown true in history. If you look at the history of civil rights for minorities, it was a majority of conservatives who approved the equality measures for minorities, while many Democrats opposed. An example of this case would be when 196 (94 percent) Republicans were in favor of the Civil Rights Act, while 88 (27 percent) of Democrats opposed it. You can find this and other examples of Republicans leading the way on civil rights reform at http://www.black-and-right. com/the-democrat-race-lie/. Now, minorities support Democrats while Republicans are shunned for asking them to assimilate since they now have full equality. Many see the issue of gay marriage going the same way for the conservative base. In short, government should only grant civil unions, not marriages. It would reinforce Republican ideals, but because they wouldn’t receive the credit they deserve, I don’t foresee them getting behind the idea. Give someone an inch and they will take a mile might be the issue at hand. Sadly, once someone has been given equal opportunity they seem to want more. This country was built on equal opportunity, not a guarantee that you will have the same life as another. Zach Nold is a Senior English major.

Heart health awareness is crucial
S
omeone will die from cardiovascular disease by the time you read this column. It may be someone you know, like a family member or a friend, or could even be someone just entering college. Anyone can get cardiovascular disease or suffer from a heart attack, which is why young adults need to know how to take care of their hearts. Cardiovascular disease is very common. A person dies every 40 seconds from it, according to the American Heart Association, and odds are you already know someone impacted by heart disease. So what’s the good news? College students can prevent serious heart disease and live longer by taking the time to take care of their ticker. Now would be a great time to start because February is American Heart Month. Many unhealthy habits gained in college may affect the heart later in life. If you’re like me, staying up late studying for a major test while simultaneously writing a big paper can be stressful. While school and work are important, students should take time to relax because it helps the heart. A great way to relieve stress is through aerobic activity, which strengthens the heart and makes people feel better. Unfortunately, nearly a third of adults in America, including college students, forego aerobic activity, according to the American Heart Association 2013 statistical update. While students can gets lots of exercise just walking to class, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln offers a place to exercise right on campus – the Campus Rec Center. A great way of getting fit is to get into the habit of working out at least once a week. Need some motivation? A new “gym shamer” app can provide public guilt for not going to the gym by notifying friends that you missed a workout. However, there are lots of ways to get active and strengthen the heart aside from going to the gym. In a hurry to class? Run up the stairs instead of using the elevator to reach that classroom. Students can also easily walk to places in downtown Lincoln instead of driving. Not only would walking to class and exercise make students feel better, it would
KIM BUCKLEY help in the classroom. Regular, moderate exercise can help boost a student’s GPA, according to a 2010 research from Sagnaw Valley State University in Michigan. With modern technology, it’s easier than ever to get fit. Students can download dozens of free smartphone apps that help with fitness and overall health. Love biking? Just download the free BikeNav app, which will give the user a map and an estimated completion time. Pair up a fitness app with one that keeps track of your diet. Late study hours means some students have poor diets to go along with no aerobic activity. About a third of college students get the recommended 3-5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day, according to a 2011 National College Health Assessment . Instead of picking up a box of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese at the grocery store, pick up a package of strawberries or blueberries. Berries help the heart, are cheap and taste great, too. A healthy diet also includes what people drink. Many college students survive tough schedules thanks to coffee, pop and energy drinks, but these beverages may hold more empty calories and sugar than people realize. Also, drinking alcohol is a big part of a college student’s life on the weekends. Too much binge drinking can harm the heart, though. Be smart. Don’t be afraid to take initiative when it comes to your heart. Contact a doctor if you have any signs of heart problems. Don’t ignore them. If you feel dizzy, nauseous or feel your heart beating strangely, something may be wrong. People don’t have to start the process of caring for the heart alone. They can get ac-
tive and eat healthier with a friend or a group. Young adults shouldn’t be afraid to make the process of becoming heart healthy a gradual one. Remember, the process doesn’t have to happen overnight. It’s also important to discuss two things when talking about your ticker. College students should know the risk factors for heart disease. A 2004 Arizona State University study found many of them didn’t know the risks for heart disease. Risk factors include diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. All of these risk factors can be controlled. Yes, there are uncontrollable risk factors, like family history, but students should take the time to check their blood pressures or cholesterol levels once every few years. Also, students should know how to react should a loved one go into cardiac arrest, which can happen suddenly. Before that can happen, they need to recognize the signs of cardiac arrest, which includes a sudden loss of responsiveness. They should then act immediately. Call 911. Then start CPR compressions. This might seem like common knowledge, but only a third of people who suffer cardiac arrest receive CPR, according to the B.E. CPR . Everyone should learn the procedure because many heart attacks happen at home. The sooner CPR is started in an emergency situation, the odds of survival increase. Many people probably think learning CPR is a one-time thing. It isn’t. People start losing the skill and knowledge to perform CPR after three months, according to the American Heart Association. Refreshing their CPR skills and knowledge lets students keep up-to-date on the latest techniques. In fact, a lot of things about CPR have changed. For instance, it’s recommended people learn the hands-only procedure, a new technique that uses only compressions. The Tin Man from the “Wizard of Oz” knew the heart is a precious commodity. Use this month to learn how to take care of it. Valentine’s Day celebrates love. Show your loved ones how much you love them by taking care of your own heart.

Facebook’s new tool allows advanced search
kelli rollin Facebook just announced one more big change soon to come to the social networking site. And no, it doesn’t have anything to do with charging users or modifying the classic blueand-white color scheme. It’s called the Graph Search, and Facebook executives are hailing it as the newest and best way to find what
you’re looking for. Social media pundits, on the other hand, say it could be the company’s largest invasion of privacy yet. Graph Search is a new and advanced search tool that allows users to search for almost anything in their social network. Status updates are the only thing that can’t be searched. For example, someone could search “people who live in San Francisco, California.” The results would be a list of friends and friends of friends who live in San Francisco. Graciela Vazquez, a sophomore art major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Facebook user, said Graph Search doesn’t sound like anything she would use, but she said she see why it may be useful. Since the search tool also allows users to search things such as “restaurants my friends like,” Vazquez said it could allow easier access to friends’ opinions. “A lot of people trust their friends’ opinion on lots of different
topics,” she said. Michelle Hassler, a lecturer who teaches a social media class at the College of Journalism and Mass Communications, said it’s fascinating where Facebook is trying to go by introducing Graph Search. “What I’m most interested in is, what are they trying to be?” Hassler said. She said the networking site seems to be competing with other large companies such as LinkedIn and Google. Hassler said Graph Search could make Facebook more of a job market, which would take customers away from LinkedIn. Since Hassler works in the journalism college, she said she always looks for ways journalists will be affected. As for Graph Search, Hassler called it “a really good thing.” “It might be a way for reporters to find sources and people involved in specific issues or groups,” she said. The social media website has faced backlash lately for privacy is-
sues, such as the leaking of personal information to certain advertisers and other companies. The unveiling of the Graph Search preceded an onslaught of similar complaints. Hassler said she’s always amazed at the number of people who get upset over privacy issues on Facebook. She said the key to solving these concerns is knowing how to manipulate the privacy settings. “You have to be really careful,” she said. “You have to use a lot of common sense and try to figure out the privacy controls because they really are complicated.” Hassler said companies like Facebook, LinkedIn and Google are mainly concerned about money when it comes to these privacy issues. “You have to look at everything they’re doing with that in mind,” Hassler said. “For them, it’s a bottomline issue. Not necessarily taking care of the users, but taking care of Facebook.” Eric Schutte, a junior history ma-
jor, said he is not on Facebook or any other social media site. “I don’t see a purpose for it,” he said. Though Schutte may not have to worry about privacy on social media, he said it’s a little weird how Facebook can allow access to so much information so easily. Nonetheless, he doesn’t think Graph Search is all that bad. “I guess it has some positive points,” Schutte said. “If you have some control of what’s going out there, it’s fine.” Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive and co-founder of Facebook, said Graph Search is now available to a limited number of users and will be slowly extended to the rest, according to an article in The New York Times. To try the new search tool, users can join the waiting list for the beta version on Facebook or try a test search. news@ dailynebraskan.com
ASUN votes to support increased funding for UNL Conor Dunn DN The Association of Students of the University of Nebraska Senate voted to support increased funding to the University of Nebraska system for a two-year period. The senate unanimously approved a bill supporting Section 162 of Legislative Bill 195, which if passed would raise funding to UNL at an average of 4.5 percent per year for two years. The increase would allow the university to enact a freeze on tuition for instate students. “The fear of some students is that if we have a tuition freeze for two years, are we going to have a huge cliff at the end of it?” said ASUN President Eric Kamler, a senior agri-
cultural economics major. The university is still increasing tuition costs, Kamler said. However, the costs are being subsidized by the state, not the students. “It’s just being covered up, essentially,” he said. The estimated savings for University of Nebraska-Lincoln in-state students would be an average of $1,000 per year if the bill is passed, according to Government Liaison Committee Chair Mike Wehling, a senior political science major. Sen. Micah Wullschleger, a senior English and anthropology major, agreed with the tuition freeze, but said he was uncomfortable with the legislature’s behavior regarding the bill. “What I’m sort of hesitant about
is why the state government gets to decide how the university spends that money,” he said. “It should be in the hands of us and not the hands of the state.” But Sen. Mike Dunn, a senior communication studies major, disagreed. “As a state university, part of our formula of determining costs and education is always through the money given by the state,” Dunn said. “While I do see the senator’s concerns that the money is being allocated on a state level and not a university level, I think it’s overall positive.” The senate is only supporting the tuition freeze part of the legislation, according to Kamler. “Our primary focus is the stu-

dents on this campus,” he said. ASUN’s legislation directs the Government Liaison Committee to support passage of LB 195. The senate also voted unanimously to oppose Section 15 of LB 405, which is an exemption of the sales tax at college and university residence halls in Nebraska. If LB 405 passes, the estimated cost for students living in residence halls could increase by more than $650. “We’re not opposing the rest of the exemptions,” Wehling said, “just the ones focusing on the university.” The senate also unanimously approved support for ASUN’s Environmental Sustainability Committee’s Environmental Leadership Program. The project’s mission is to edu-
cate incoming students, provide access to sustainable opportunities and resources on campus and provide tools for students to reduce their environmental impacts, It will be similar to ASUN’s Freshman Campus Leadership Associates, according to ESC Chair Matan Gill, a senior construction management major. FCLA is designed for freshmen to become acquainted with student government. The senate also voted to support ESC’s intent to collaborate with Facilities to find ways to reduce paper towel waste on campus. ESC hopes to put stickers on the paper towel dispensers around campus with information about waste, Gill said. news@ dailynebraskan.com

cent of the time, students are very cooperative and open the door.” Once the police are called, the officer will knock on the door and ask for admittance to the room. If the residents refuse, the officer can secure the room and return with a search warrant, according to Todd Duncan, assistant chief of University Police. “We treat a residence hall room like every other house in the country,” Duncan said. “If you had an apartment off-campus, the same rules would apply as on campus.”
Search warrants can take as little as 30 minutes to an hour if the request is during the day and up to several hours if the request occurs in the off-hours, Duncan said. “If there’s a crime or what they believe to be a crime, they give us a search warrant, and we give them a room key, and we stay out of their way, and they go on with their investigation,” Zaborowski said.

broadcasting: from 9 The new equipment will include a digital switcher, which will modernize the college’s television news operation, Lee said. “We’ve had to have several people to push four different buttons to make something work,” Lee said. “It’s not really the standard way of doing it.” Cameras and other production equipment will now be in high-definition, which will be comparable to what a viewer sees on professional TV news stations. Broadcasting students may also have access to split-screens where an anchor could speak directly to a reporter out in the field. The new equipment also includes more green screens, which will allow students to work with virtual sets to produce more creative shows such as ESPN’s SportsCenter, according to Lee. “It will really streamline the operation and allow people to be more creative,” Lee said. “Now we’ll really be operating in the same way as one would at a TV station or one of the networks.” The new equipment will also be used for 90.3 KRNU, UNL’s alternative radio station. Alloway said the average listener won’t detect much difference in the radio broadcasts. However, the new digital board will increase the number of places KRNU’s production team can connect to in the building and on campus. The new equipment will also provide students with better demo work to submit to potential employers.

sponding drop in that student cohort’s retention rates from freshman to sophomore year,” Goodburn said. New strategies aimed at boosting graduation and firstyear retention rates have been in the works, Goodburn said, including adding about 10 new learning communities next year that will bring more groups of students together in similar areas of study. “We’ve been enhancing and expanding high-impact programs and services for students,” Good-
burn said. Programs for first-year students have been the main focus for the Office of Academic Affairs because increased retention rates lead to increased graduation rates later on, Goodburn said. “We know that if students aren’t retained in their first year, they won’t be graduating later,” she said. “That’s why we are prioritizing our efforts for first-year retention.” The University of Nebraska’s other campuses reported six-year

men’s bball: from 10 struggles (37 of 113 shooting and 17 of 72 from 3-point land in the Big Ten) there’s another story. Gallegos has been forced to put up shots he wouldn’t normally take this season. He’s been thrown into the mix as one of Nebraska’s main scorers, coming off a season he missed with injury. Miles will tell you he is a great shooter. The coach swears by Gallegos’ jump shot. So when the junior went cold over the past month or so in Big Ten play, there wasn’t much the coach could do but stick with his guy. He and his players have rallied around Gallegos. At halftime of Nebraska’s game with Penn State, forward Brandon Ubel and guard Dylan Talley approached their teammate
with some advice. “I told him he just needs to stay aggressive,” Talley said. “He’s in the right mindset, and it’s not so much that he was down. It’s that he needs to stay positive, stay aggressive.” Gallegos took that advice, and in combination with some extra work in the gym putting up extra shots, he exploded onto the stage Tuesday night. The junior is shy about his accomplishments. He won’t swagger into a press conference anytime soon ready to boast about his career night. More likely, he will brush off the praise and get back to work. After all, it’s the extra work that got him out of his funk. sports@ dailynebraskan.com
women’s bball: from 10 that we may have a little bit right now,” Yori said. Nebraska has played only eight players for the past several games, but may open one more spot as sophomore guard Brandi Jeffery is day-to-day, Yori said. Beyond resting hurt bodies, the break gave the team a chance to relax mentally as well. “You could just tell the stress was gone and we were all relaxed,” sophomore forward Emily Cady said. Yori said she considered giving a third day off, but decided to run an easy practice on Saturday instead. In Nebraska’s games just before their break, an 84-63 win
over Minnesota on the road and a 59-54 victory over No. 25 Michigan State, Yori said the team was finally being aggressive. There’s always concern how a team will respond to an extended break. Sample thinks it had the opposite effect on the Huskers. “Whenever we get to come back and play, we’re ready to go and we’re excited,” Sample said. “Because we’ve had so much time off and we’re used to working hard every day, when we come back we’re ready to go.” Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. CT in Columbus, Ohio. sports@ daiilynebraskan.com

This year hasn’t been the best for senior Nebraska rifle player Joyce Kim. That didn’t matter, though, going in to the Withrow Open tournament on Sunday. The Huskers captured the title with the help of Kim’s outstanding performance. “It was pretty exciting,” Kim said. “I wasn’t expecting to do as well as I did. Everything in my performance flowed really well.” Kim tied her career high in smallbore that day with a score of 582. The last time Kim scored in that range was during her junior year against Ohio State. “Joyce has had a rough year this year,” Nebraska coach Stacy Underwood said, “but she’s made changes and worked hard to get to this point in her senior year.” file photo by anna reed | dn “I’ve had a few setbacks,” Kim Joyce Kim loads her rifle before taking another shot during a match at the NU Rifle Range earlier said. “I could have easily given up this season.

Her favorite event used to be the shot put, but has recently changed to the hammer throw. “It was my favorite, but it is really frustrating since I do it all the time,” Grizzle said. “Maybe the hammer is my favorite this year since it’s something new for me.” This season at the Intrasquad meet, Grizzle threw 63-2, beating the old meet record of 62-5 3/4. She also threw 52-10 in the shot put, winning the event. Grizzle won the women’s weight throw at the NWU Invite with a throw of 57-2 1/4. She placed second in the weight throw with a mark of 59-5 3/4 and third in the shot put with a throw of 49-1/4 at the adidas Classic. She placed eighth at the Razorback Invitational with a mark of 58-1 3/4. Grizzle will be competing at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational this weekend. Grizzle is currently ranked ninth in the Big Ten for shot put and 14th in the Big Ten for the weight throw. She aspires to make it into the top-five spots for both events in the Big Ten. “It feels pretty good,” Grizzle said. “I feel like I should be doing a little bit better.” She has big goals for the rest of the season. “My goal is to be one of the top of either the weight throw or the shot put at the Big Ten meet,” said Grizzle. “I really need to contribute points to the team this year.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com

J
on Kolb calls it one of the worst plays of his NFL career. With his team trailing 7-6 with 22 seconds left in a 1972 playoff game, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive tackle let Oakland Raiders’ defensive lineman Horace Jones get past him. Jones pressured Pittsburgh quarterback Terry Bradshaw into a hurried throw in the direction of running back John “Frenchy” Fuqua. The pass was deflected backward into the hands of Steelers running back Franco Harris, who caught the ball and ran 40 yards for a game-winning touchdown. It’s now known as the “Immaculate Reception.” On the 40th anniversary of the play – one of the most famous and controversial in NFL history – some of the ’72 Steelers gathered at a Pittsburgh game for a commemoration. Among them was Jon Kolb, who wore a Nebraska Wrestling baseball cap to the game. Jon’s son, Caleb Kolb, wrestles for the Huskers, and he also attended the 40-year anniversary game. “It was great because we got to go on the field,” Caleb Kolb said. “It was cool meeting all those guys. Like L.C. Greenwood was there. And Mean Joe Greene, Frenchy Fuqs.” The Immaculate Reception ignited momentum that led to the Steelers’ first Super Bowl victory two years later. This year’s Wrestler Caleb Kolb poses with his Steelers’ gear. Caleb’s dad, Jon Kolb, won four Super Bowl, to be held Sunday, pits the Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

lanny hosltein dn Nebraska guard Ray Gallegos was feeling it. The junior had hit on five of his six first half shots and wanted the ball once more. With under five minutes to go in the half, Nebraska trailed Minnesota 32-18, and the Gophers were starting to pull away. Gallegos had something to say about that. The junior pulled around the right wing and headed for the top of the key with a Minnesota defender in hot pursuit. On his way, Gallegos picked up a screen from forward Brandon Ubel and received the pass from guard Benny Parker. Then, his momentum fading him to the left of the basket, he let a 3-point shot fly. Swish. Gallegos’ shot slid through the net, cutting the Minnesota lead to 11. Well on his way to a career high 30-point performance, Gallegos knew this was going to be his night. Up against a superior opponent, Nebraska needed to shoot well and knock down a few threes to stay with the Gophers. Gallegos was just the man for the job. In the end, Nebraska faded away, losing 84-65, but Gallegos’ performance won’t be forgotten any time soon. You have to go back to 2008, when Aleks Maric did it, to find the last time a Nebraska player scored 30 points in a game. Gallegos got his 30 points on 12 of 17 shooting from the floor and 6 of 9 shooting from beyond the arc. He missed his only free throw – a shot that would have recorded a four-point play for the Huskers – but everything else seemed to be going the junior’s way. Even Gallegos’ four rebounds tied him for

After the game, BTN announcers Dave Revsine and Jim Jackson praised Gallegos for keeping the Huskers in the game as long as he did, but their praise was nothing compared to that of Husker coach Tim Miles. Miles has said all season that
Gallegos is a good shooter, but after the redshirt junior dropped 30 on Tuesday, even he marveled at what Gallegos was able to do against the Gophers. “Ray was phenomenal in every facet of the game,” Miles said. “There was nobody to pick him up … He played probably the best I have seen him.”
Looking at it on paper, Tuesday’s game is an outlier for Gallegos. The guard hasn’t shot the ball particularly well as of late, and there was nothing on the surface that indicated he would go off like he did. But beneath Gallegos recent
