LETTERS FROM THE EDITORS

Dear reader,

More than ever this year, I’ve caught myself explaining the difference between what I call my “straight voice” and my “gay voice.”

Straight voice occurs when I’m meeting up with a source or interviewing someone over the phone. It’s best described as a deeper, more monotone version of how I naturally sound with my friends or family. It’s what I like to think of as the voice I use when I’m trying to be seen as professional. I mastered this voice during my reporting internship last summer in Grand Island.

I’m not saying that I run around shouting “hey, girl, hey” when I’m in a casual environment, but there’s definitely a more feminine tone to my voice than I’d like — I think it has something to do with the strange lisp following my S’s. But as the years go on and I get closer to graduation, I’m realizing just how foolish my self-consciousness about my voice really is.

Last week, DN Sports editor Chris Heady wisely recognized in his “Letter from the Editor” that total objectivity is borderline impossible for college sports reporters. The same can be said for any reporter who’s passionate about a particular issue, even more so for a reporter who feels connected to the issue in whatever way.

My connection is to the LGBT community. Every day, I see my friends on Facebook share some kind of story related to the legalization of same-sex marriage or a child committing suicide because her parents wouldn’t accept her identification as transgender. And every day, I feel the urge to share my own opinion on Facebook or join my LGBT friends in their protests, because the issues they care about impact me as well. But then I remember I’m a journalist. I have to be unbiased.

A fellow journalist once told me, “Conor, you’re gay. You shouldn’t be writing about gay things.”

I was infuriated by the ignorance of her statement. That’s like telling a female reporter that she shouldn’t cover feminist movements or a black reporter that he can’t write about the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

Reporters can’t just turn off their race or sexuality. And although they may have to hide behind the veil of objectivity, they can’t extinguish their compassion for the issues they relate to.

But they can have control. They can control their writing, and they can control how much reporting they do to get both sides of the story — regardless of whether they agree with one particular side.

Thankfully, my passion lies in telling stories and not activism. To be honest, I’m a terrible public speaker and I’d be far too nervous to stand in front of large crowds to fight for what I believe to be my civil rights.

What I can do, however, is embrace my “gay voice” for what it is and be unafraid of the fact that not everyone is going to approve of my slurring S’s and perfect hair – just kidding, my hair is a mess.

I wouldn’t want to work for any company that cared more about my sexuality than my ability to tell a good story anyway.

Thanks for reading, Conor Dunn Managing editor FRONT PAGE PHOTO BY AMBER BAESLER | DN

story by Alex Lucke | photo by Amber Baesler | Listeners hold control of local station’s playlist

A

new kid on the block is the new face of popular music in Lincoln.

Only on the air since August, RED 94-5 has gained popularity by playing music for the people, requested by the people.

With features that allow listeners to personalize the station, RED 94-5 makes sure to hear listeners and respond.

Caleb James, program director for 94-5, said it responds on essentially every social platform. Responding is “one of the things that really separates (94-5) from everybody,” James said.

Open Mic, a feature on the station’s mobile app, Red945, simplifies song requesting.

Users “just punch the open mic icon and record a voice message,” said NRG Media’s Operations Director Steve Albertsen, “It goes directly to Caleb.”

Through Open Mic and “Your Pod Playlist,” a web application that lets listeners submit playlists, RED 94-5 learns what listeners want.

James also uses a myriad of sources to determine what music RED 94-5 plays. Mediabase, James’ dominant technological source, compiles data from similarly formatted stations around the country.

Currently, the No. 1 song on Mediabase is Channel 94-5 is a Top 40 radio channel that’s trying to identify and engage with listenTaylor Swift’s “Blank Space.” The DN Arts Desk ers in nontraditional ways. noted that it was played twice in the course of an hour on Wednesday night, at 6:45 p.m., 7:39 p.m. and a third time at 8:43 p.m. Similarly, Seleto their rotation, or the people who do sub- to play that because that’s what most people na Gomez’s “Heart Knows What Heart Wants,” mit them pick songs that are already heavily want to hear.” a mainstay of this week’s Top 40 charts, was Albertsen and James explained that present on Top 40 radio and services such as played at 7:09 p.m. and again at 8:12 p.m. choosing music for the radio is similar to filMediabase.

racial barriers by playing music from African-American artists. These DJs preferred to challenge their audiences to think outside the box. But for Albertsen, James and the crew at 94-5, radio is better utilized for giving listeners more of what they already know they like. Those who want to discover something new have other resources available these days, specifically digital streaming services such as Pandora, Spotify, Last.FM or Rdio.

Terrestrial radio is more of a source of comfort and familiarity.

James referred to Albertsen’s description of radio as the “ultimate crap filter.” By filtering the “crap” 94-5 is confident that they can appeal to a loyal top 40 audience.

RED 94-5 is “not meant to be everything to everyone,” James said. RED 94-5 has a specific audience that he said it goes “wholeheartedly after.”

Diversity in music is a challenge for radio. The wide range of taste and preference demands that stations appeal to a niche audience. RED 94-5’s audience is people that listen to popular music, especially dance and EDM. The station is “very focused on something specific,” James said, so it doesn’t spend a lot time thinking, “what if certain hipsters don’t like it, what if a 38-year-old woman doesn’t like it?’”

This pinpointed mentality allows RED 94-5 to focus its time and energy on what it knows works for longevity and loyal listeners.

“Even if we were to play one or two songs an hour to satisfy that underground crowd, the minute you move away from that and play something else they’re not gonna stick with you,” Albertsen said, “So you have to look at the bigger picture and maximize what your playlist is for a majority of people.”

Although it’s relatively new to the scene, the station has already found a target audience and plans to focus solely on it.

“We want to be really good at the one thing we think we can be really good at and that’s playing this kind of music for this audience,” Albertsen said.

The station is doing just that. According to James, the station’s listenership is growing in number and doesn’t look to stop anytime soon.

“We’re in the business of creating fans,” James said. “That’s what we do.”

Genre-less band values fun over notoriety Laid-back local band Jack Hotel makes its mark on Lincoln’s music scene with eclectic music set CASSIE KERNICK DN If there’s one thing to know about local folk band Jack Hotel, it’s that the band does stop practicing for the Jimmy John’s delivery guy.

While a 2013 Daily Nebraskan article suggests otherwise, Günter Voelker wanted to clarify that they’re not “those kind of musicians.”

“We love all service people,” Voelker said jokingly while reminiscing on the previous article. “We only want the best for those people.”

This desire to right away clarify that Jack Hotel is “not actually that kind of band” while laughing about the experience illustrates one of the main things that makes Jack Hotel work: its relaxed nature.

“We’re all extremely laid-back,” said band member Marty Steinhausen.

The band, which originally started in September 2012, has become a staple at the Zoo Bar, Crescent Moon Coffee and many other Lincoln venues.

Jack Hotel will play at 8 p.m. this Friday at Crescent Moon and at Hear Nebraska’s Take Cover event on Jan. 30 at The Bourbon.

This represents a fairly busy schedule for a group that tends to play one to three shows a month. For the members of Jack Hotel, with day jobs and relationships to maintain, music represents a good time spent with friends as much as it does a vocation, Voelker said.

“Our practices are a lot of fun,” Steinhausen said. ”A lot of times we’ll meet up prior to imbibe some beverages. It’s often a lot of laughs, fun stories and jokes.”

The band currently consists of Voelker on vocals and guitar, Steinhausen on upright bass, Joe Salvati on dobro, lap steel and pedal steel, Casey Hollingsworth on vocals and on mandolin and Josh Rector as the group’s violinist.

Voelker is also the lyricist of the group and said there’s really no rhyme or reason to his writing.

“I will take a song however it comes to me,” Voelker said. “Sometimes the lyrics come first and sometimes it’s the melody, regardless of which way things happen the one thing I’ve learned is to be patient.”

Voelker was quick to emphasize that being patient doesn’t mean not working, but rather, he said, that different songs take different time and different amounts of energy out of him, so patience is key.

While there’s no one way the band writes songs, there’s also not a single genre they specifically fit into. Typically their music gets described as upbeat country blues, but that

doesn’t stop them from mixing some “dark, gothic folk songs” into their sets.

Hollingsworth said if he could pick one song to sum up the band he would choose “No More Straight Life Blues.” The song, which is on their first album “Good Sons and Daughters,” he said gets him going every time.

The group’s first album was released in May 2014. Since the album’s release the band has continued to produce new music.

Currently Voelker said they have enough material for a second album. However, they’re waiting to hit the studio until they have toured first with “Good Sons and Daughters,” which they hope to do this summer.

As for long-term goals for the band, Voelker said he wants to keep making music well. All of the band members agree that it’s more about enjoying Lincoln’s music scene and having fun than notoriety.

“I really don’t have any grandiose visions or expectations,” Salvati said. “I think just continuing to make records is at the forefront

for all of us.”

Despite being content in the local music scene, Jack Hotel accomplished a dream of many musicians by opening for Neil Young and Willie Nelson at Nebraska’s Harvest the Hope concert in September 2014.

“It was a surreal experience,” Voelker said. “The best part was this elated feeling the night before, just watching all of these people making it happen. I was struck by the importance of the event, people were not just

trying to put on a concert.”

The band has had an impact on the Lincoln music scene, but what’s more is the impact the bandmates have all had on each other.

“I’ve become a better musician playing with these guys,” Salvati said. “I kind of have had to step it up, they’ve definitely raised the bar for me.”

Boss’ signature pizza is The Boss, which is similar to a Combination or Supreme at other pizza franchises. Boss’ also sells broasted chicken, which comes with fried potatoes and coleslaw when bought with a meal.

Boss’ makes name for itself in Valentino’s domain MICHAELA LUCKEY DN From the outside, Boss’ Pizza and Chicken restaurant is unassuming aside from the sign featuring its noticeable mascot: a buff chef sporting sunglasses.

Inside, the space seems to be a familyfriendly take on the traditional sports bar with a few arcade games, plasma screens and counter-top ordering. Hidden behind a McDonald’s on a short off-shoot from I-180 and Cornhusker Highway, Boss’ Chicken and Pizza sits at 1000 Saunders Ave., just past the North Bottoms neighborhood.

Serving dishes such as the BLT Pizza, the Parmesan Chicken Pizza and Chicken Cordon

Bleu Calzones, Boss’ has been making a name for itself since opening in the decidedly Valentino’s dominated market in October 2014 by owner Jon Toft.

Toft, an Omaha native, has worked in the restaurant business all his life, having started at Valentino’s as a cook. After college, Toft found himself back in the restaurant world with the hopes of one day owning his own business. The opportunity presented itself when Toft’s partner, Jeremy Seefeldt, began the company about nine years ago in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Wanting to return to Nebraska, Toft said he proposed the idea of opening another store in either Lincoln or Omaha. “For me it was accomplishing two goals at once,” Toft said. “I

got to return to Nebraska to be closer to family and friends, and I got to open my own restaurant.”

With two storefronts in Sioux Falls, a Harrisburg franchise, a Minneapolis location and now Lincoln, Toft said he plans on staying true to the style of cooking that gained the business its name. “Everything was carried over from the original,” Toft said. “My partner has had this concept for quite a while — and he’s done a great job of building a reputation in Sioux Falls — so we took from what was already in place.”

Boss’ menu includes out-of-the-box dishes, influenced by other popular foods, such as the Taco Calzone, Cajun Chicken Alfredo pasta and the Bacon Cheeseburger Calzone. A

popular item is the Breakfast Pizza made with eggs, cheese sauce, bacon, Italian sausage, cheddar, Canadian bacon and two vegetable toppings of your choice. They even serve a Shrimp Alfredo Pizza topped with mushrooms, shrimp, green peppers, onions and bacon with alfredo sauce in lieu of marinara.

“We fry our chicken in a Broaster,” Toft said. “It’s a pressurized fryer that crisps the outside of the chicken while the meat itself remains very juicy and tender.”

But despite Boss’ successful expansion, it has no plans on slowing down in its local promotion efforts. In a region already claimed by the ubiquitous Valentino’s, getting its name

‘Anything Goes’ musical to premiere at Lied Center MADI WEINBERGER DN Winner of the 2011 Tony Award-winning Broadway musical “Anything Goes” premieres this month at the Lied Center for Performing Arts.

The play is set to hit the stage on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and on Saturday at 2 p.m. Tickets are currently on sale at the Lied Center ticket office and are also available online. Ticket prices are 50 percent off for University of Nebraska-Lincoln students. For further questions contact the ticket office at 402-472-4747.

Ann Chang, art director of the Lied Center, said she predicts the audience’s reaction toward the show will be generally positive.

“It’s a very recognizable Broadway favorite,” Chang said. “I know the audience will enjoy it.”

“Anything Goes” was first produced on Broadway in 1934, based on the musical book originally written by Howard Lindsay, Russel Crouse, Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse.

The score and lyrics were written by composer and songwriter Cole Porter.

Throughout its evolution on the Broadway stage, the production has featured original songs such as “I Get a Kick Out Of You,” “Where are the Men?” and of course “Anything Goes.” In later revivals, additions to the score included “Let’s Misbehave” and “It’s De-Lovely.” During the shows revival on Broadway in 2011, the musical was named

“Best Revival” and also won “Best Choreography” at the Tony Awards ceremony.

The Lied’s communications coordinator, Carrie Christensen, said this is the first performance of “Anything Goes” at the Lied Center. Christensen said the performance will provide an overall enjoyable experience for people whether they’re new to the art form or, in her words, “a diehard Broadway fan.”

Set in 1930s New York City, a young stockbroker named, Billy Crocker stows away aboard the SS American headed for London in order to pursue an English heiress he met in a taxicab. Unfortunately, the woman is engaged to be married to the rich and stuffy, Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. Antics and dance numbers ensue.

Once aboard, the young man teams up with Evangelist-turned-nightclub singer Reno Sweeney and gangster Moonface Martin, aka Public Enemy No. 13. The group formulates a plan to help Crocker win the girl.

Members on stage will be Emma Stratton (Reno Sweeney), Brian Krinksky (Billy Crocker), Rachelle Rose Clark (Hope Harcourt), Tracy Bidleman (Evangeline Harcourt), Richard Lindenfelzer (Lord Evelyn Oakleigh) and Dennis Setteducati (Moonface Martin).

“Audience members can expect a performance with all of the best elements of classic Broadway,” Christensen said. “(There are) familiar tunes, a hilarious script, killer costumes and first-class dance numbers.”

Essential oils offer natural remedies for ailments SARAH BERGER DN Have a headache? Use peppermint oil to help alleviate the pain.

Having trouble sleeping? Cilantro essential oil can help induce sleep.

Need to clear up your skin? Juniper berry essential oil can fix that.

Recently, more and more people have been turning to essential oils to provide a natural remedy to many common and uncommon ailments. Essential oils are strong concentrates that have derived from plants and other natural sources, and have been used as a healing agents for centuries.

While essential oils have been around for years, they’re quickly gaining popularity in the Lincoln area, according to Denette Russell, a Lincoln native and sales representative for doTERRA, an essential oils company based out of Utah. Russell has been selling essential oils and teaching classes on the use of oils since July 2014. She originally turned to essential oils as a way to keep her family members healthy in a safe, natural and inexpensive way.

Russell has used essential oils to treat flulike symptoms for both of her daughters, and both times she said the oils cleared up the symptoms in less than a day. She has also used essential oils to treat a variety different illnesses her husband has picked up while traveling.

“You can use essential oils for anything,” Russell said. “I have a giant book with any illness you can ever think of and the essential oils that you can benefit from.”

Essential oils can be used three ways: diffusion, topical treatments or direct ingestion.

The diffusion method uses a small device that sprays the oils into the air, which can then be

inhaled in a method similar to aromatherapy.

Through the topical method, one or two drops of the oils are applied directly onto the skin, usually on the bottom of the feet or hands. Users can also directly ingest essential oils by mixing them into food or water.

“You kind of have to be careful (when using essential oils on the skin) because some of them are pretty strong,” said Bailey Williams, a sophomore journalism and advertising and public relations double major. “You have to mix it or dilute it with olive oil or coconut oil to make sure it doesn’t burn you.”

Williams first started using essential oils after she heard about them from her mom, when they gained popularity in her hometown of Holdrege, Nebraska. She now has several of the tiny glass bottles on top of her desk like her own mini pharmacy. Williams uses essential oils to treat everything from anxiety to allergies.

Both Russell and Williams prefer using essential oils because they believe oils are safer and more natural than over-the-counter medications. According to a Jan. 16 Atlantic article, many medical drugs are derived from natural ingredients that essential oils have. Among the examples given in the article include aspirin, which is derived from willow bark, and the cancer-fighting drug paclitaxel, which was initially derived from fever-tree bark.

“Essential oils tend to work faster; they are cheaper and safer,” Russell said. “There are no side effects. A majority of the drugs we have now actually originated from essential oils.

Pharmaceutical companies have found that compound, and they have tried to mass produce it by adding fillers and synthetic properties in there. So, (using essential oils) is going back to where medicine originated from.”

BOSS’ CHICKEN: FROM 6 out to the public has proven to be one of the most difficult aspects, Toft said.

“We’ve been taking pizzas to different bars for free just to get our food out there,” said Michael Pacheco, one half of Boss’ managerial duo. “I have enough faith in our product that I know all they have to do is just try it.”

With their motto being “We’re the local guys” it’s no surprise that the team has focused its energy on building relationships within the community. They’ve donated, or catered, food to events for hometown organizations, such as Teammates, as well as UNL campus activities such as “All Stressed Out,” hosted during finals week by the Wick Alumni Center. In fact, Boss’ dedication to their local clientele has manifested in creating new menu items inspired by the City of Lincoln — such as the Star City Special Pizza.

“I really love the Star City Special,” Toft said. “It’s pizza with cream cheese, double pepperoni, pizza sauce and extra Mozzarella.

Before we opened we saw on our Facebook page that every 10th comment were people asking if we had cream cheese. So we ordered from a couple different places that served it, but a lot of them serve the cheese in clumps.

We thought, why not spread it out like sauce then build the pizza on top of that? That way you get the flavor in every bite.”

“We’re very active in the community in Sioux Falls so we’re trying to bring that down here. We’re not Little Caesar’s, we’re not Pizza Hut — we’re the local guy,” said Pacheco.

Akin to the workings of Valentino’s and the Cornhusker sports teams, Boss’ has tried creating a similar relationship with the neighborhood teams in both Lincoln and South Dakota. The restaurant has sold its food at games for the Sioux Falls Stampede Hockey Club and has begun creating ties with Lincoln teams as well.

“We’re feeding the (Lincoln Stars) and, for the past three weeks, we’ve even been feeding the away team when they come and play,” Pacheco said. “Eventually, we’d like to do those same things here, like serving food at Stars’ games.”

So as Boss’ finds itself challenged by more established chains, it’s continuously pushed to generate more creative promotions. Always bearing in mind factors such as the campus itself (the store stays open until 3 a.m to help feed the late-night masses), the focus still remains on the most important feature of all: the food itself.

“It’s not just pizza,” Toft said. “It’s chicken and other items as well, which definitely differentiates us from a lot of other stores — but our pizza is really good.”

Boss’ Pizza and Chicken opened its Lincoln location in October 2014. The franchise was founded in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in 2005, and has since opened two more locations in South Dakota and one in Minneapolis.

OPINION

Parents need to encourage their children’s identity Kayla Simon

P

eople are afraid of uncertainty, some to a greater degree than others. We watch TV shows about kids trying on makeup and dating for the first time, but outside of this realm? Kids dealing with their own identity has been explored – but only within the comfortable frame we’ve allowed in the past. Unfortunately, the world has become more Cards Against Humanity than Apples to Apples to the chagrin of older generations.

Recently, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt made headlines by supporting their child Shiloh’s desire to be called John. The question of whether the child is transgender, a tomboy or just “in a phase” is immaterial.

But the lesson we can learn from the JoliePitt family is invaluable.

Parents may be uncomfortable with facets of a child’s identity, but they’re still the adults. They have the cognitive ability to sort through the consequences – good and bad, and deal with them appropriately. Children have the capability to make choices, not always understanding the ramifications. Thus, parents need to encourage them to make those tough choices that may make them less popular. We can’t tell our children to tamp down what they feel inside to make ourselves feel more at home. A parent’s role isn’t to define identity, but to guide its natural progression – even if that progression is challenged in school.

A study published in “Psychology in the Schools” found that the primary reason kids give for bullying is deviance, whether in terms of appearance or behavior. Being different is a punishable offense, whether you wear the wrong clothes or play the wrong playground game.

This especially extends to transgender students, who may not even have the support of school faculty and staff. While 90

10

percent of transgender students reported verbal harassment and more than half reported physical harassment in school, adults intervened only about 11 percent of the time.

“Harsh Realities: The Experiences of Transgender Youth in Our Nation’s Schools,” a 2009 study goes on to outline academic performance decline and less self-aspiration for those affected.

Being different is inevitable. Rather than fearing its consequences, parents should embrace the opportunity to support their child wholeheartedly. While some adults may not intervene on their behalf, parents can show their child that being different is worth fighting for.

Adults follow many unconscious taboos they may not be aware of. Don’t do this.

That’s rude. What will other people think?

Children, not being as aware of these, tend to express themselves more openly.

This self declaration can be risky – but at that age, parents still have the ability to influence their children. Your mom saying, “you’re beautiful” still means something to a child. If one waits until the child becomes a teenager, the moment for parental encouragement is gone. There’s no one more like you than yourself, and to let that go to waste is a shame.

Society needs more people who dare to go against the tide of public opinion. That’s how we get leaders, the people who make the hard decisions. So when a child decides to take a path different from their peers, we should be applauding them. It can be a sign that they realize they’re different and are proud of it.

Parents control so much of a child’s identity already that children can be empowered by creating their own. It creates a space for questioning, for critical thinking that is useful in other aspects of life. Questioning oneself is the first step to changing individual behaviors, and questioning the system is helpful for identifying the flaws within it.

When we are born into a family, we can be raised religiously or not, or somewhere in between. It can be difficult to make the conscious decision to transition from one to the other, or even from religion to religion.

Opening a child’s eyes to a world of possibility allows them to evaluate their faith and

Gender identity should be respected Emily Kuklinski

G

ender identity isn’t scandalous. John Jolie-Pitt’s decision to change his name and appearance shouldn’t belong in the tabloids or celebrity gossip magazines. It should be news,

real news.

Our culture enjoys trivializing major issues. It’s what our news stations thrive upon.

When you decide to flip on the television to learn more about world or local events, pundits and news outlets alike have a tendency to manipulate the information into something completely different. When John told his parents he didn’t want to be known as Shiloh anymore, what was the first thing the

news decided to do? Headlined it – and then downplayed it.

Fox and Friends recently had Lyss Stern, CEO of DivaMoms.com and parenting expert Anna Corso on the show to discuss John’s decision. During the debate, Corso dismissed the issue based on her parents’ celebrity nontraditional lifestyle and refused to acknowledge that John’s decision held weight, referring to it again and again as “roleplaying” rather than a device for self-discovery.

Although Stern did an apt job to defend Jolie and Pitt’s parenting decision to allow their child to explore and discover his preferences in self-expression, Corso’s side of the debate echos what happens whenever important issues are brought up by celebrities.

Although they grace the stage and screen and seem so far away from us, they’re still people.

They’re still human. And although they have more money than us and are on the cover of “People” magazine more than we are, that doesn’t give us the excuse to bury the issues they bring up. Because more often than not, people in the arts are the only ones who bring these issues to the public eye.

This week, I’ve been lucky enough to attend the Kennedy Center American College

Theatre Festival (KCACTF) in Burnsville, Minnesota. The festival is an immersive theatrical experience where students can attend workshops and a few selected plays put on by other universities. The first play I attended was, “Soderville; Excavation of a Life.”

When I walked into the black box theater, it wasn’t anything extravagant. The set looked as though it belonged to somebody’s grandmother: there was a fridge adorned with coupons and magnets; black and white photos strung along the slender, rectangular wall, and the smell of vegetable soup was wafting from the crock pot. But the one-woman show had a greater story to tell.

In “Soderville,” Julie Dafydd tells how she identified as a woman rather than a man and the impact it had on her life and her family.

It was the most intimate piece of theater I’ve ever had the opportunity to see. Perhaps it was because the story was told by the woman herself or because I sat in the front row. But her openness was magnetic. It felt as if the audience was sitting at her feet just as children do when their parents tell them a story. Each word was a pair of open arms. Julie wasn’t demanding us to listen to why we should accept the trans community or to con-

demn her mother for refusing to accept her as a woman. She simply wanted to give her side of the story. To tell us her narrative. Listening to her satisfied me in the way a good meal eases the belly.

As people, we starve for stories. We have an insatiable hunger for new, diverse things that help us better understand the world around us. So why is it that we allow for the news to bury issues we hear so little about?

We need Judy and John’s stories told. We live in a culture where we criticize before we choose to learn. Our thought processes are parasitic, eating away at comprehension and compassion until we’re left with a bland 24 hour news cycle. When Shiloh requests to be called John and to wear boys clothes, we shouldn’t criticize him or his parents. We should instead fix our eyes upon the greater issue at hand, which is how our news treats stories that aren’t of a heteronormative structure. News shouldn’t be the bully. It should be the educator.

Re-think the word homophobia, its use Vicki Klafter

H

omosexuality was largely declassified as a mental disorder by 1975.

Homophobia still is one.

According to the literal Latin meaning of its root words, homophobia is the irrational fear of things that are the same. Because this word was culturally concocted, the sameness represents those who are attracted to the same-sex or “homo”sexuals.

Unfortunately, the literal meaning and the actual application of the word are similar to fraternal twins: they have the same genetics but they’re nothing alike. Most people use homophobe to describe anyone who expresses any variety of rude, discriminate or aversive behavior toward members of the LGBT community. This is a slap in the face to legitimate mental illnesses and a gross distortion of the true meaning of the word and its description of an unlikely, but possible, mental disorder.

Honestly, I don’t think most people have a clue what the word homophobia actually means.

Unfortunately, the historical origins of the word set it up to be a misnomer. It was first used in

the 1960s by a psychiatrist in a speech to describe a morbid fear of homosexuals. After that though, pop culture mangled the Latin roots of it and turned it into a relative umbrella to hold over anything that expresses any aversion or disagreement with LGBT people. In fact, the first place the word appeared in print was “Screw,” a pornographic magazine, that used it to describe a heterosexual male’s fear that other men might think he’s gay.

Now the word is carelessly applied like anesthesia for a knee scrape, with utter disregard for its real meaning.

While I do desperately cling to the original meaning of words constructed from ancient languages, I also acknowledge the relativity of language and the speed of change that loose, culture-based words experience. Sometimes this relativity is harmless. For example: fantastic, awful and thong.

What’s harmful is extending the meaning to make it more wildly applicable and in turn to alienate the people who supposedly err outside a certain boundary. Obviously homophobe isn’t the only example of this situation. In the ‘50s McCarthy era, the word communist changed from someone who was in favor of a particular set of economic mandates to anyone who was, in reality or in accusation, anti-America. These people were chastised and black-listed, as are those who are publicly labeled homophobes although on a less serious scale. The differences between these two circumstances is that McCarthyism mostly focused on higher profile individuals while homophobia is subtly spread throughout classes, and no single man is the leading perpetrator of the hysteria.

Not only is the abuse of this word societally dangerous, it’s detrimental to the legitimacy of many mental illnesses that are truly medical disorders.

If someone has a phobia of spiders, we all understand. If someone has a phobia of heights, we all understand. If someone has a phobia of red tennis balls, we laugh about it and tell them to get over it because it’s irrational. Well the thing with phobias is that they aren’t rational. We sympathize with those who have phobias of things that are commonly scary but once it crosses to the inane or what we deem ridiculous, our compassion ebbs.

Fearing homosexual people is irrational. It makes as much logical sense as fearing red tennis balls or any given person. That’s exactly why, when a person holds such insurmountable fear, it should be classified as a phobia and treated as such. Some phobias are also more debilitating than others, and homophobia would be a severely handicapping one in reality. It would severely restrict someone’s functionality in modern culture where LGBT members are able to, for the most part, be open about their sexuality or gender and thus unavoidable in most daily interaction. Can you imagine having this phobia and being constantly terrified by the scary auras that surround gay people?

The comedian Louis C. K. once said, “I hate the word homophobia. You aren’t afraid. You’re an asshole,” which I think halfway sums up my point. Is it likely that someone is actually, irrationally afraid of homosexual people? No. Is it possible? Yes. Is labeling anyone who acts negatively toward homosexual people a homophobe derogatory to mental disorders? Absolutely.

So why are we throwing around such a loaded and specific term that’s literal meaning describes such an oppressive condition?

I think the answer lies in the absurd number of offenses that people clump under the word intolerance.

This word is the mast head of entire movements that encourage unity by staying silent in imposed conformity rather than respectful celebration of difference. Maintaining the original definition of intolerance is so important to uphold rights of respectful free speech.

Those who advocate for a warped sense of tolerance misuse words like homophobe to put down anyone with opposing viewpoints, whether they legitimately discriminate against homosexuals or not.

The cause of tolerance has sacrificed many words in its passive aggressive rampage that scorches the structures of thought and logic as burnt offerings for the gods of political correctness. But homophobia needs to be made un-politically correct.

Just as LGBT advocates encourage people to find alternate words for the derogatory use of the word gay (another word that has been detached from its original meaning but I digress) I strongly encourage you to find something other than homophobe.

“They are not supportive” “They disagree with LGBT values” and when appropriate, “They are an asshole.”

DAILY NEBRASKAN EDITORIAL BOARD MEMBERS

DailyER serves vital functions, deserves fees In the Heritage Room of the Nebraska Union on Tuesday night, at a meeting with fewer than 20 spectators, a group of University of Nebraska-Lincoln students made a bad call.

The nine-member Committee for Fees Allocation voted 6-3 to approve a 25 percent cut in 2015-2016 funding for the DailyER, UNL’s satirical student newspaper. The vote came along with a recommendation that CFA cut the DailyER’s funding by an additional 25 percent each year, leaving the 6-year-old publication without funding by 2019.

The DailyER shouldn’t get student funding, argued the subcommittee tasked with analyzing the newspaper’s financials, because it doesn’t support a “vital function” within the university, doesn’t “enrich, enliven and humanize” the student body. In the subcommittee’s view, this means the DailyER should be classified as a Recognized Student Organization rather than a fee-user.

CFA’s decision isn’t binding – the DailyER plans to appeal, and if that fails,

the body’s recommendation will face approval from student government and a yes/no vote from the student population come spring. But for the DailyER, the committee’s vote could be the beginning of the end.

This year, the DailyER received $6,400 in student fees per semester, equivalent to about 16 cents per student. For reference, you paid $2.78 for the Daily Nebraskan, $26.66 for Parking and Transit and $166.11 for the Campus Recreation Center.

It’s not a lot of money. But it, along with print advertising revenue, allows the DailyER to print a bi-monthly publication, maintain a website and social media accounts and pay a small salary to its staffers.

It’s unreasonable to ask the DailyER to become self-sufficient, especially at a time when print publications nationwide are struggling to accommodate for declining advertising revenue.

But at the heart of this issue is the erroneous assertion that the DailyER doesn’t serve a vital function for students.

Of course it does.

The DailyER isn’t an RSO. You don’t have to buy a ticket or attend a meeting or pay dues to enjoy all it has to offer. You just have to pick up your free copy every other Thursday, visit thedailyer.com or view the paper’s Facebook and Twitter accounts.

The DailyER provides a unique form of satire that’s vital to the UNL community. Its articles and headlines range from simply funny – “Awkward student wears button-up shirt to show he’s real serious about socializing tonight;” “Coworker giving out expired Google Wave beta invites as Christmas gifts” – to barbed commentary – “City Council member stubs toe on homeless man;” “Chancellor Harvey Perlman on Bo firing: ‘We’re aiming for 30,000 head coaches by 2020.’” The veil of satire allows the DailyER to address issues that non-satirical media, such as the Daily Nebraskan, cannot.

The organization’s annual mass debate featuring ASUN candidates regularly attracts more spectators than

all other candidate debates or forums combined. Seeds, the DailyER’s entertainment section, has scored interviews with Cold War Kids, City and Colour and Manchester Orchestra. The DailyER beat the Daily Nebraskan by a point in its approval rating in last year’s student election.

As DailyER assistant editor Colin Loberg put it during open forum at Tuesday’s meeting, if the publication has made students laugh or smile or ponder an issue for an extra few seconds this year, then it’s worthy of those 16 cents.

It’s not up to a nine-student committee to reverse six years of precedent and declare the DailyER’s services irrelevant. It should be up to the student body as a whole.

Don’t let one committee’s bad call rob the entire university of a valuable institution. You can voice your support for the DailyER Thursday at CFA’s 6:30 p.m. meeting in the Nebraska Union.

Image issues stem from others perception Gabriella Parsons

I

can’t tell you how many times I’ve participated in conversations that go something like this: “I hate my arms,” followed by, “You’re kidding, right?

Look at MY arms!” As I examine the media I consume every day and the conversations that center on it, I’ve begun to

wonder what factors are driving us to think of ourselves, and others, in the way we do.

We can hardly go anywhere without being sold something. Advertisements left and right drawing attention to our flaws, extremely feminized women and masculinized men modeling the latest trends, and idealized body images in the media all have us looking at one another in comparison. The thing about these ads is that they’re not just selling us a product – they’re selling us an idea.

While societal expectations vary, they’re almost always inexplicably linked to gender roles, and are perpetuated greatly by the media. For example, some men idealize women with the curvy physique, yet women tend to aspire to or idealize other women who are

thinner. Similarly, plus-sized women portrayed in Hollywood are hardly ever considered attractive by their male co-stars. They will often play insecure roles in which their identity comes directly from their weight.

Take, for instance, the movie “Pitch Perfect,” in which one character, Fat Amy, was particularly named for her weight, making it impossible to be considered by the audience separate from her body. How do you think this leaves the plus-sized viewers feeling?

Unsuitable. Unattractive. Unworthy.

It’s a daunting feeling, isn’t it? If we don’t fit these ideal personas, and most of us don’t, then we’re left on the outskirts. Sure, it’s easy to point out societal expectations on the screen, but it can be difficult to see how they’re affecting us in our real lives. So, I de-

cided to ask people to come forth about this pressure that slithers silently through our society.

To my surprise, I was overwhelmed with responses.

I received a message from a former Husker athlete. He shared his experiences with the pressure that comes with being a man in today’s society. Men are no exception to the idealized body image, as they’re often portrayed in the media as fit, strong and sexy. What I didn’t know is that when men fail to live up to society’s unrealistic expectations, they’re left feeling emasculated and lonely. He compared his athletic performances to a fish tank – “Tours walking through the weight room

SIMON: FROM 10 decide on its meaningfulness – whether that means reaffirming their beliefs through critical analysis or accepting a new lifestyle more compatible with their ideals.

More generally, we can’t just stay away from topics that make us uncomfortable. Hiding our feelings on politics, religion, and sex just builds up frustration that can’t be resolved.

If we’re not uncomfortable, nothing changes.

And there’s a lot that needs to change.

At dinner one night, we played a game where we went around the table filling in the phrase, “The world would be a better place if ‌ â€? The girl who had started the question looked at us for a moment and said, “Can you imagine what would happen if we all stopped caring if other people thought we were weird?

How would the world even look?� I’d like to imagine a world filled with people walking lobsters on leashes and tipping their top hats to each other. Insert your own weird fantasy here. That can never happen if we can’t find a way to relate to each other, even on issues that at first seem scary to talk about.

I doubt Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt or John are purposely making a statement. By virtue of their position in the spotlight, though, they have an opportunity to start a conversation. So let’s have it.

KAYLA SIMON IS A JUNIOR POLITICAL SCIENCE MAJOR. REACH HER AT OPINION@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

PARSONS: FROM 12 Something that has helped me is to actually adopt what others tell me explicitly.�

as you lift, fans looking through the glass as you perform the mundane, such as you eat,� he explained. A pattern emerged when he’d enter the fish tank, he said, as he was constantly considering what these viewers thought of him, his performance and the university in general. When he’d leave the fish tank, he felt unsatisfied, with a lurking need for approval. His experience got me thinking about this so-called fish tank, as I too, know what it’s like to behave, dress or perform based on what I think others expect of me.

This theme seemed to repeat itself in the conversations I had with others about their experiences. One woman raised a question: “Why do we tend to think our friends are lying to us when they give us a compliment?� Another mentioned how hard it can be to think highly of ourselves, as we’re often our biggest critics. “Something that has helped me is to actually adopt what others tell me explicitly,� she said, “for example, all of my friends have told me over and over that they think of me as a beautiful

person inside and out. So, actually knowing that I’m way harder on myself than anyone else is comforting in a way.�

One woman, who also struggled with this ideal body image, rejects societal pressure by fabricating her own clothing from old, baggy T-shirts. She says T-shirts are fitting for all people, no matter their size, as they’re made to be baggy and have a losefitting look.

While all of these conversations seemed to be centered on issues of body image and self-esteem, I recognize that these issues were grounded in something much deeper than appearance. Every single person I spoke with shared stories that tied back to this idea that we dress, behave and perform in ways that are for other people’s viewing.

In fact, this is a real theory that has actually been discussed in the field of sociology for decades. In 1902, social psychologist Charles H. Cooley coined the “lookingglass self� phenomenon, which he said was when we believe, “I am not what I think I am and I am not what you think I am; I am

what I think that you think I am.� Doesn’t this sound awfully similar to the “fish tank� that we’ve all experienced swimming in?

As a society, we have let our identity come from what we think other people think of us. We constantly, yet subtly behave and perform in ways that we believe others expect of us, letting this fear get in the way of what we think of ourselves. I believe that this fear is at the core of body image and self-esteem issues that we see today. It just simply isn’t talked about enough.

If it weren’t for all of the people who reached out to me about their personal experiences, I would have felt alone in this fish tank. However, it’s inspiring to know that I’m not the only one, and neither are you.

Applicants must have one year of newspaper experience, preferably at the Daily Nebraskan, and agree to abide by the Guidelines for the Student Press. The position is from Aug. 10, 2015 through May 1, 2016.

Editor
