Weeklong event aims to promote LGBT awareness conor dunn daily nebraskan

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln LGBTQA Resource Center is sponsoring “Be The Change 2012” this week to bring awareness about the importance of LGBT activism.

Stacey Cleveland, a teaching, learning and teacher education graduate student, said the goal is to educate people about ways they can change their communities instead of simply hoping for the change to happen.

“When you provide education,” she said, “people have a greater awareness of LGBT issues and are more likely to change things.”

Cleveland said it’s the first year the resource center has hosted “Be The Change Week.”

The activity-filled week began Monday and will continue through March 31. All events are free and open to the public in the Nebraska Union.

On Monday, the center put on “Sex in the Dark” and “Sex Toys 101” to give students the chance to talk and ask questions about sex and sex toys they might have been uncomfortable talking about openly before.

The center will host its “Ask a Queer” panel Tuesday from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m.

The three panelists will share their personal experiences with the LGBT community and will answer questions.

Pat Tetreault, director of the LGBTQA Resource Center, said a problem with LGBT awareness is people believe they don’t know anyone who is LGBT-affiliated. She said the real case is they aren’t aware they know somebody.

University Health Center wellness educator Lee Heerten speaks to an audience about sex toys on Monday in the Nebraska Union.

large red dildo, a powder blue vibrator and an assortment of cock rings sat on a table Monday evening in the Nebraska Union.

After a “Sex in the Dark” discussion, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln LGBTQA Resource Center hosted a “Sex Toys 101” workshop as part of “Be the Change Week.” The workshop was hosted by LeeAnn Pancharoen, a health educator from Planned Parenthood, and Lee Heerten, a sexual health educator with the University Health Center.

The workshop opened with an icebreaker to help open discussion of sex toys. People drew cards with either a sex toy or a

definition. Henry Cabrera, a junior political science major, drew the definition of a sleeve, which is a jelly-like tube used to facilitate male masturbation.

“I don’t really know what this is,” Cabrera said.

After the icebreaker, the pair began their lecture. They offered explanations of each kind of sex toy and offered suggestions on usage and what to avoid. The lecture was split by each kind of body part meant for stimulation.

Anal toys

“Anal toys include beads, butt plugs or anything meant to stimulate the anus,”

“It’s a good environment to be able to see LGBT people as individuals,” she said.

From 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Tuesday, the Omaha Pride Players will perform skits and monologues in the Union Auditorium about what it means to be an LGBT-affiliated or straightallied teen in Omaha.

Tetreault said although the players perform stories based on personal experiences in Omaha, the issues apply to the LGBT community as a whole.

On Wednesday, the center will host LGBTea, where visitors can receive a cup of hot tea while examining an LGBT display in the Rotunda Gallery of the union from 2 to 4 p.m. Tetreault said the display will be up all week and features photographs of individuals and events that have helped create change.

On Thursday, the center will have an educational booth in the union to distribute information on how to “be the change,” from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tetreault said students can also bring their lunches to the LGBTQA Resource Center’s office and participate in its brown-bag discussion. This week’s topic is “being out on campus and in the classroom,” and will be facilitated by Counseling and Psychological Services.

The resource center will also co-host the 2nd Annual Prairie Pride Film Festival March 28-31 with the student group Allies and Advocates for LGBT at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center.

Shows start at 7 p.m. March 28-30 and 3 p.m. on March 31. Tickets are $7 at the door.

Haymarket plaza approved despite alcohol concerns Julia peterson Daily nebraskan

Lincoln City Council members approved the West Haymarket Redevelopment Agreement Monday despite worries expressed at a meeting on March 19 that an alcohol-serving plaza would be too close to what could be student apartments and lofts.

The plaza, named The Yard, would house various restaurants, many of which would obtain liquor licenses, David Landis said on March 19. Landis is the director of the City of Lincoln Urban Development Department.

The housing complex

frye page 4

would sit across the street from the plaza. It is intended to supply 71 units of multiple bedroom and loftstyle apartments and condominiums, Landis said.

Councilman Jon Camp expressed concern about what could happen if the units across the street from a potential new bar scene became mostly inhabited by students.

“No one wants another 14th and O (streets) situation with student housing and a beer garden across the street,” Camp said last week.

Lawyer Tom Huston said the building is not limited to student housing. Last

week, he said if the design is intended for students at all, it’s aimed at the older undergraduate and graduate students. The idea was to target young professionals.

But Huston said he understands how it could turn into mostly student housing.

“A younger generation is much more willing to pioneer an area,” he said.

For this reason, The Yard will place restrictions on which businesses can occupy a space in the plaza to avoid the type of situation mentioned by Camp.

“We didn’t want this to be just a college bar scene,”

music page 5

Huston said.

Eighty-five percent of potential tenants must meet all of these requirements to hold a spot in The Yard plaza: •Have a licensed kitchen.

•Be open from at least 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. to offer service during the lunch hour.

•Offer a full menu from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Only 85 percent must abide by these regulations because not all will be restaurants, Huston said. Some will be banks and retail shops.

But all food-and-drinkserving businesses will have to uphold these rules.

In addition, no more than

half of all businesses that will open in The Yard can have more than 50 percent of their total sales be from alcohol, encouraging restaurants to occupy The Yard instead of bars.

If any of these businesses violate liquor rules and regulations established by the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission they can be forced to close their doors.

Members said they agreed to all the plans presented during the meeting held on March 19. Councilman Doug Emery said he believes the city needs to move forward in developing the Haymarket.

“We were going down

this road and we need to continue down this road,” Emery said.

Councilman Carl Eskridge said he believed placing businesses close to the new arena would be beneficial.

“Part of the reason for building this arena is to put other things around it,” Eskridge said.

The vote was a unanimous 6-0, with councilman Camp abstaining because he said he owns property near the Haymarket.

The construction of these areas in the West Haymarket is the first phase of a plan to redevelop the Downtown Haymarket.

cops briefs Fraternity prank POLICE leads to arrests At 2:42 a.m. on March 13, officers made contact with two men near Kappa Delta who appeared to be moving a large painting. Officers suspected the pair was under the influence of alcohol. Cole Lueckenhoff, a freshman business administration major, and Joshua Miller, also a freshman business administration major, blew BACs of 0.138 and 0.150 respectively. They were both cited for minor in possession and released. The painting was then returned to Lambda Chi Alpha.

Drug arrest occurs in parking lot Early morning on March 16, community service officers noticed someone sitting in a parked car with a flickering light. The CSO suspected the person was smoking marijuana and made contact with the vehicle.

Inside, Racheal Choate, a freshman accounting major, was smoking marijuana. She admitted to using the substance, and was cited for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Robbery Announced on unl alert At 9:13 p.m. on March 17, officers were called to a house in the 500 block of Village Avenue near Trago Park. A gunman entered the victim’s home, threatened him with a gun and demanded cash. The gunman left with cash, a Playstation 3, various PS3 games and a duffel bag. At 9:38 p.m., UNL Alert sent out a mass message to students because the crime occurred so close to campus. The alert included a short description and asked students to alert police. At 10:39 p.m. another alert went off when a suspect was arrested. The person was later released because he didn’t have any connection to the crime, Lincoln Police said.

Light pole knocked over near Rec center At 1 p.m. Sunday, a vehicle accidentally accelerated into a light pole in the parking lot of the Nebraska Recreation Center. The pole was destroyed and a parking meter was also damaged. No citations were issued.

The person reported the accident, and the estimated cost of repairs is $1,900.

Extreme speeding leads to numerous citations Officers pulled over a vehicle speeding along North 17th Street. The vehicle was driving 65 mph in a 25 mph zone. Once pulled over, Drew Seymour, an earth and atmospheric sciences graduate student, submitted to tests. He had a 0.160 blood alcohol content. Seymour was cited for driving while intoxicated, negligent driving, speeding and violating stop signs.

UNL to offer online space law degree heather haskins daily nebraskan

Six people on board the International Space Station hopped into emergency escape pods early Saturday morning in case of a possible collision with a chunk of a wrecked Russian satellite, according to SATNEWS.com.

To NASA’s relief, the space junk missed the station. But it came within nine miles of it, a relatively small distance in space.

This incident reflects a growing concern: space junk.

A new University of Nebraska-Lincoln degree option will focus on laws governing this space debris, among other space laws.

UNL’s space, cyber, and telecommunications law program will offer a Master of Laws degree online to attorneys next fall. Using Adobe Connect software, students will be able to participate in class and ask questions online.

Faculty have carefully reviewed and accessed the software, according to Jack Beard, an assistant professor at the College of Law and the newest member of the space, cyber, and telecommunications law team. “(The) new technologies seemed to be easier to use and more user friendly to everyone involved,” Beard said.

Matt Schaefer, a law professor and the director of the Master of Laws program, calls the new online class an “exciting educational vehicle.”

“We are going to be able to train a whole other set of people in these areas of law that otherwise wouldn’t be able to access the program,” Schaefer said.

The online course will be offered to students who

already have a law degree and are currently getting legal experience by working in various law firms.

Having the course online allows students who may not be able to take a class in Lincoln access the same course material that students taking on-campus classes receive.

“It is exciting to be able to offer (the Master of Laws program) in this new way,” Schaefer said.

Schaefer explained that the online program probably will only have a few students enrolled next fall, but he hopes enrollment

increases over the years.

“We feel confident that we will have that student or two in the online program (next fall),” Schaefer said.

Beard is confident that students will not have a lesser experience with the program because it is online instead of in person.

“The school is committed to making the online experience as complete and rich and fulfilling and productive as it possibly can be,” Beard said.

Beard is excited not just for the online version of the program, but for the space, cyber and

telecommunications law program in general.

“I think it is a really great thing for some of the people in this field to participate in a program like this … to join with others and participate in a way that brings their own unique experience and expertise into the program,” Beard said.

Applications for both oncampus and online classes for the fall 2012 semester for the space, cyber, and telecommunications degree (LL.M) are currently being accepted. heatherhaskins@ dailynebraskan.com

play it safe: from 1 Heerten said. Materials that are non-porus and have a flared base are preferred.

Materials that are made of jelly plastic have seams or cords can be dangerous to the anal area. The cheaper plastics may contain phthalates, which are chemicals that may be absorbed into the body and may harm the body. Condom usage is suggested with anal toys to protect the sensitive region.

Toys without a base can become inserted wholly into the anus and become trapped, Heerten said.

“As with anal sex, lubricant is a necessity,” Pancharoen said. The pair stressed patience with anal toys.

Non-porous materials can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

“Don’t go out there and find the biggest dildo you can and shove it up your ass,” Heerten said.

Vaginal toys “What doesn’t go in your butt, also doesn’t go in your vagina,” Pancharoen said. Toys in this category are generally meant for insertion. They are often designed for a specific kind of stimulation. Some dildos are made from molds of actual penises, while others are shaped to stimulate the g-spot or the clitoris.

Heerten explained some

kyle bruggeman | daily nebraskan

Various tools were used to educate people on sex toys including a book (left) as well as vibrators and penis rings. The items were passed around with the caviat that none of them had ever been used. newer vibrators that can be used with an iPod to vibrate along with music. Like anal toys, condoms should be used as well. When discussing strap-ons, the pair said that the stigma around who should use specific toys has shifted.

“There is a bend-over boyfriend movement with strap-ons,” Pancharoen said.

The wide variety of dildos includes how they are powered. Pancharoen described a hand crank dildo that was

designed to be eco-friendly.

“I like to think of it as the survivalist’s dildo,” Pancharoen said.

Nipple toys “Nipples are an often overlooked erogenous zone,” Heerten said. Nipple toys include clamps, springs or magnets that are meant to pinch and stimulate the nipple. Nipple toys should be tested out on less-sensitive skin before using them on nipples. Prolonged use should also be avoided.

Penile toys Cock rings, sleeves and pumps are meant to stimulate the penis. Cock rings are pieces of material put around the base of the penis and/or the testicles and are meant to give stronger erections. As with other toys, prolonged usage should be avoided. Sleeves are tubes meant to mimic the sensation of a mouth, vagina or anus.

Sleeves should be cleaned after each use. Penis pumps, like cock rings, shouldn’t be used for extended periods of

time. Pumps create a vacuum of space around the penis, which causes more girth in erections, Heerten said.

“They can be dangerous,” Pancharoen said. “It is like when you blow up a balloon.”

After the lecture, audience members participated in a drawing for gift bags. Cabrera was the first name drawn.

“My natural instinct is to go for the bigger bag,” said Cabrera jokingly. Cabrera won a dildo and some lubricant.

Ashley Martin, a Lincoln

resident, also won an anal toy.

“I am interested in sex-positive activism,” Martin said.

Martin is working to fight negative stigma applied to all aspects of sexuality and said she believes events like these open up discussion of sex from points of view that are usually unheard.

“Anything can be a sex toy,” Pancharoen said. “Everything is up to your imagination.”

UNL mentors help high-schoolers adjust International students gain experience through mentoring course ryan kopelke daily nebraskan

Christelle didn’t know what to say.

Adora hardly knew a word of English.

Murielle didn’t have any friends at first.

The three Mukuna sisters, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, are part of a University of Nebraska-Lincoln cross-cultural mentoring program that pairs immigrant students attending North Star High School with UNL students enrolled in Mary Willis’ cross-cultural mentoring course.

Through the program, mentees gain a better knowledge of the English language and American culture, which helps them adjust to the changes in their lifestyles.

The education system they left behind was very different from the one in the United States, Christelle said.

“Compared to here, the system is very poor,” Christelle said. “I was a senior in the DRC but because of how different they were

I was moved back down to 11th grade.”

All of the Mukuna sisters moved down at least a grade because of this difference.

Adora was demoted from a sophomore to eighth grade and Murielle, a junior in her homeland, became a sophomore at North Star.

Because of this repetition of courses, the sisters found it much easier, even too easy, to do the grade level course work they were assigned.

This allowed April Riggs, a junior psychology major, to focus on her role as the sisters’ mentor. As their mentor, she teaches them English and exposes them to American culture.

“I had never done any sort of mentoring before,” Riggs said. “I hadn’t met anyone from the DRC either, but I really love it now. They are all really different and have their own personalities and accomplishments.”

Many things have changed because of Riggs’ mentoring.

“It’s easy to talk with her in English,” Christelle said.

“Even if I get something wrong, I don’t have to worry about her laughing at me or not understanding.”

Her sister Murielle agreed.

“She is the best. When I’m with her things are easier to deal with, she has helped me

Virtual career fair to aid students Frannie Sprouls Daily NEbraskan

The term “career fair” creates an image of students walking briskly in black suits, carrying resumes and chatting up leagues of employers. At the Hire Big 10 Plus Virtual Career Fair, students don’t have to dress in suits or walk around.

“They can stay in their dorm room — they can do it from anywhere,” said Christine Timm, associate director of Career Services. “So the virtual career fair is something you can do at any time.”

The University of NebraskaLincoln is participating in CareerEco’s Hire Big 10 Plus Virtual Career Fair March 27-29.

Ninety-six employers from all over the nation are participating in the fair, including Amazon.com, AnheuserBusch, Chrysler, Hulu and State Farm.

The biggest push is for engineering students because not many have registered so far, Timm said.

But the career fair is not limited only to engineering majors. Out of 96 employers, 25 are seeking students from all majors.

All students have to do is register online to participate.

After filling out an informational form and a resume, students will receive a password to log into the career fair, said Gayle Oliver-Plath, CEO and founder of CareerEco. By registering, students are also entered in a drawing for an iPod Nano.

Once registered, students can view all employers who are available for text chat.

“You’ll go into a room, and

The Marketing Department and College of Business Administration at UNL will host the 21st Annual Robert Mittelstaedt Doctoral Symposium later this week. The two-day symposium will focus on dissertation research by doctoral students.

The conference will take place at the Embassy Suites in downtown Lincoln from 7 p.m. on March 29 to noon on March 31.

UNL Health Center to distribute sleep kits The University of Nebraska-Lincoln wants its students to get more sleep.

In collaboration with the National Sleep Awareness campaign, the University Health Center will hand out sleep kits at the Wellness Booth Tuesday.

Students can pick up a kit and learn more about sleep and how it impacts overall health.

ASUN seeks nominations for Homecoming royalty court The Association of Students of the University of Nebraska is accepting nominations for students to be a part of the UNL annual Homecoming Royalty Court.

Staff and faculty can email nominations to asun1@unl.edu. Students can fill out applications to be a part of the Homecoming Royalty Court at http://www.unlhomecoming.com. Applications are due April 6.

VITA offers free tax help for students Students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln can get free help filing taxes from the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program.

UNL will host two VITA sites for students and the Lincoln community in March and April. The program has preparers who can file income taxes and answer common tax questions. Students should bring a photo ID or Social Security Card and necessary income forms and tax documents.

Non-resident return students can get help on March 27, April 3 and April 10 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Colonial Room in the Nebraska Union. Resident return students can get help from the program April 9 through April 11, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Nebraska Union Square. Additional filing stations will be at the Food Court in the Nebraska Union from March 26 through April 6 from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

App allows students to share notes online Students can shares notes more easily both on and offline with the help of a new app and website called mySchoolNotebook.

The app lets students write notes in built-in notebooks, upload files and draw in notes.

The app was started by Jakub Roz, a high school student from the Czech Republic, in 2010. Roz started an English version that can be accessed through the Web, Facebook and Twitter. Students can use mySchoolNotebook at www.myschoolnotebook.com, http://www.facebook.com/mySchoolNotebook and https://twitter.com/schoolnotebook.

you’ll see which employers are visible,” Oliver-Plath said. “You have the ability to group chat ... or you can private chat. Usually, the employer will initiate the private chat.”

Timm suggested students register for the event as soon as possible.

“Some employers that they are interested in might not be doing the chat or might have a set time that they want to look at the information,” Timm said.

The career fair is 24/7, so students would be able to register at 2 a.m., for example, Timm said.

The chat sessions with employers range from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. but students do not

have to participate in the chats, which can be in text form or video form. Timm suggested students type in complete sentences, making sure to capitalize when appropriate, because it is a professional correspondence.

“If you have the opportunity for a video chat, keep in mind what you’re wearing. Keep in mind what’s behind you, so it is not cluttered,” Timm said.

It is also important for employers to see the student’s face well.

“Sometimes there is a tendency when we’re doing video with a laptop that the angle is such that it’s not square on your face,” Timm said.

When it comes to resumes, Timm said it is important to have a second person look over a finished resume to look for mistakes or to see where more detail can be added.

She said Career Services can also review resumes. A booklet full of sample resumes is provided by Career Services and is available for download on the Career Services website, “It’s a unique way to interact,” Oliver-Plath said. “Often, employers who aren’t participating aren’t able to get to all the campuses they want to ... The best part is a number of people who participate are likely to get jobs.” franniesprouls@ dailynebraskan.com

change: from 1 On Wednesday, “The Wise Kids” features the gay son of a single father in a Baptist church community in South Carolina.

“Vito” is on Thursday and is a documentary about Vito Russo, a gay activist and critic of LGBT representation in the media during the 1980s.

“Legalize Gay” will show Friday and is a documentary that captures gay and straight activists as they campaign for LGBT equality in marriage, non-discrimination in sports and at work, same-sex sex education, standing up to bullying and forging inclusive college campuses. The activists in the film take stands in parts of the country that are hostile toward LGBT rights.

Tetreault said Legalize Gay exemplifies “Be The Change Week” because it’s a documentary about individuals who are making

changes in their own communities.

On Saturday at 3 p.m., “United in Anger: A History of ACT UP” reveals how the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) came together in the ’90s to persuade the U.S. government and media to give attention to the AIDS crisis.

Then at 7 p.m., “Kiss Me” is a love story about how two stepsisters-to-be fall in love, and the consequences for everyone involved.

Tetreault said she thinks people are trying to create change in the state, but there is still a long way to go for the LGBT community to achieve equal rights. She said there is still a need for change in the same-sex marriage prohibition law in Nebraska, and UNL staff and faculty need to have the same rights as all employees.

‘Be the change’ and learn about being LGBTQA

This week, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s LGTBQA Resource Center is celebrating “Be the Change.”

The Daily Nebraskan encourages all UNL faculty, staff and students, along with Lincoln community members, to take advantage of this opportunity. “Be the Change Week” is a chance to ask questions, learn and explore perspectives that may seem new or different.

Each day features events intended to educate attendees on LGBT issues and perspectives as well as sex in general. The week can serve as a muchneeded crash course on understanding what exactly the LGBTQA community is, what it faces and what it’s working to accomplish. “Ask a Queer” in particular provides a unique opportunity to hear personal stories and get questions answered in an appropriate setting.

Students still unclear about what exactly being LGBT means or involves should use this event to achieve a more clear understanding.

Being informed is important. Misunderstandings can be addressed more succinctly with the resource center’s guidance. Get out and show some support, get some questions answered or make a new friend.

Bridal showers fun time for all

M

aybe it’s a sign I don’t leave my house enough.

Or perhaps it could be I just don’t watch enough television and movies.

Whatever the reason, I saw and attended my first bridal shower during spring break.

Aside from realizing I was one of the only men in the room, one thought struck me: Why hasn’t anyone made this an annual event yet?

Think about it. Bridal showers are a great time to mingle with family. They make anniversary parties look like funerals. Of course, there are traditional holiday get-togethers, like Christmas and Thanksgiving. But one can easily avoid seeing their family with a simple, “We’re celebrating at home this year.” An annual bridal shower celebration would be a nearly unavoidable social obligation, full of games and fun for everyone.

When I say fun, I really mean for the original bride and groom. How often do you get to celebrate a day that’s completely about you? Yes, once a year, everyone has a birthday.

But birthdays are sad affairs. Every year they add another candle to remind you you’re a year older. When you blow them out, the burnt wicks remind you that you’re going to be nothing but ash someday. Then you’re stuffed full of ice cream and cake to hurry the process along.

Not so with a bridal shower. For one entire day you and your spouse are the cutest couple in the world. Every time you greet someone, you’re really saying, “Look!

I’m in an adorable and lovely relationship!

Oh yeah, how’s your lack of a romance life going?” Even if they’re married, you’re still not-so-subtley proving your marriage is vastly superior to theirs.

Perhaps even better is the amount of smiles and compliments you’ll receive. Yes, it’s true not all these will be sincere. Every family has that one person you would

jason frye rather fall off the edge of the Earth. They probably even return the feeling.

However, on this day, they have to smile and be nice to you. Every forced grin must feel like torture. Call me shallow, but I think watching someone grit their teeth and say nice things to me is highly enjoyable.

Speaking of shallow, who can forget bridal shower gifts? Yes, we have birthdays and Christmas, but are you honestly going to say no to more presents? Besides, Christmas is spoiled by having to buy gifts for everyone in return.

Here’s another time when you can sit back and let the forced generosity of your relatives shower you with love. And instead of having to return the favor, you just have to send them a card, if you’re feeling nice.

If you’re lucky to have a few, this is also a great time to make use of your rich relatives. Why else do they have money, if not to buy you expensive decorations and kitchen utensils you could never afford? If they’re lucky enough to have money, you should be lucky enough to make them spend it.

However, if you’re like me, you’re neither married nor engaged or even in a relationship. You’re probably wondering what’s in this for you.

As a college student, I find I can’t say no to free food. Parties like this have plenty. Not only that, but if you win one of the games, you might even take home a prize. The free stuff alone is a

major selling point.

Not only that, but you get to catch up with friends and relatives. Plus, you get to watch those relatives no one else likes grit their teeth and smile all day, which falls into the free entertainment category.

There is the slight problem of having to find a gift to give the couple. This is easier than you might think. Are you telling me you don’t have anything lying around that you wouldn’t be willing to part with?

Most people have some awful item in their house they could give away. Find that ugly glass or vase that’s been sitting around, stuff it in a bag and pass the burden on to someone else.

If you somehow can’t find anything, everyone loves candles. We’re all suckers for fragrant scents that hide the less than savory smell of our homes.

And even though they’re cheap and sold nearly everywhere, we can never have enough. A few of these stuffed in a bag with some tissue paper and you could be the toast of the party.

If all else fails, steal some silverware or plates out of the happy couple’s kitchen, stuff them in a bag, and call it good. If you really want a challenge, try the same thing, but with bathroom decorations.

You can save even more money by stealing wrapping paper from them, too.

The idea for an annual bridal shower is so brilliant, I’m surprised no one else has done it yet. Don’t let the naysayers and party poopers talk you out of it. Remember the feeling of opening present after present of things other people bought for you. Think of how amazing that felt.

Don’t you deserve to feel that every year?

Speaking as a person who loves free food, I say you do.

Just don’t forget to include me on the guest list. I promise to bring candles.

Americans need to fix ethos problems

››Editor’s note: The following column ran on the Daily Nebraskan’s website on March 15. hat is the American ethos?

Until recently, as humans, we were expected to only deal with our immediate environment. Our problems were our own. But with inventions dating back to the late 19th century, Americans have become more privy to what’s going on “out there.”

We can’t ignore that fact.

People are dying, and we’re able to view shells raining down on innocent children.

We get the chance to witness murderers go to jail for only a few years. The way of life and the American dream are fading.

A new era of self-pity and unthankful ad hominem attacks plague our country. This wasn’t what our Founding Fathers had in mind. Our country was founded on valiant acts that bred hope in the hearts of the lost and tormented. Simply put, “Acts of Valor” isn’t just the name of a movie currently in theaters, but is the foundation of an ethos by which all Americans should live. I’m not saying everyone should be a Navy SEAL, but we’re meant to do or be more than who or what we are today.

We’re meant to be more than a pitiful Occupy Wall Street

W

protester who doesn’t want to work hard for a job. More than an unthankful American who considers our soldiers bloodthirsty heathens, when the only reason they’re allowed to portray such hate for their own countrymen is because of soldiers like those in Afghanistan.

More than an arguably broken American government, whose lack of support for our troops is appalling.

Every day, men and women put their lives on the line to protect a country of people who’ve moved away from core human values and ethics. A country is defined by an ethos that the general population lives by, and every country has a set of undefined ethos.

It doesn’t have to be written down, but instead is seen in how we live. I used to think that America’s ethos included hard work, honesty and a diverse, considerate population of great minds. However, I may have been mistaken.

“Cinderella Man,” a movie set in the Great Depression, outlines hard work. After falling out of boxing, James Braddock, played by Russell Crowe, struggles to keep his family together and find work. Although he doesn’t want to, he’s eventually is left with no other choice but to take welfare money from the government. The shame this act brought upon him and men like him back in the 1930s was great, and later in the movie

zach nold when he worked hard to pick himself up, he paid back what he took from the government welfare pool.

Have you ever heard anyone do that in recent times? Do you know the rate at which people accept government handouts?

According to USA Today, record numbers of the American population now receive benefits from anti-government programs. This is a shameful state of living. Where is the honor in being dependent on the government? A little help in a time of crisis is OK, but it’s time for the American populace to realize we can fix our own problems. It’s time to get a job.

An honest, hard-working job, I know they’re out there.

I’ve seen the ads. If jobs are so scarce, then why are job sites thriving? We need more honest, hard-working Americans like those fabled Americans of old.

Focus on the word honest.

Who doesn’t come to mind when you think of honesty? If you thought politicians, you’re correct. What happened to a man or woman keeping his

or her word when he or she enters office? Obama promised change, equality and a stronger America. All I see is an administration which hasn’t made any allies overseas and has alienated the few we did have.

For instance, we encouraged the overthrow of a government in Egypt friendly to the United States, which is progressively being replaced with Islamist groups who have a shady history.

Coupled with more negative change at home such as rising gas prices and a growing rift between races, nationalities and income levels, I don’t think this administration has been honest with us. The lack of transparency is disturbing.

If our government is a reflection of who we are as a country, then we must not be very honest individuals. Honesty goes a long way toward a strong, unified country. Owning up to your wrongs and being true to one’s word are lost codes by which Americans need to live. Politicians and Americans who honor this code still exist. Be one of them.

Finally, diversity makes us stronger. We don’t have to always agree on who should be president, or whether gay marriage should be legalized.

But this shouldn’t stop us from being great. The fact that we can share our opinions and still respect each other at the end of a day is strength all its own. We’re strong because

the American population has more approaches to one issue than there are words in this sentence.

However, we’ve lost a little bit of our diversity. Instead of mixing and melting together, we’ve become fractured. The cultural boundaries have been re-drawn, and American culture isn’t unified anymore.

Subcultures dominate our landscape, and drive the idea of a unified culture further out to sea. It’s OK to hold on to a culture, but to some extent we all must assimilate. Without a common bond, how can we stand as one?

Valor brings hope, and hope pushes people through difficult times. Many of the most valiant people can be found serving in our armed forces. Yet, just because you aren’t in the military doesn’t mean you can’t be valiant.

Living by an ethos like the simple one just laid out is valiant. It says you’re willing to stand up for what’s right. If we can’t demand values like hard work, honesty and respect for diversity, then how can we say we’re the greatest nation in the world? Valor is found both in the Americans who are willing to jump on a grenade for a buddy and the ones who simply work three honest jobs just to support a family.

PHARMACY SPIRITS MEMBERS ACTIVE IN LINCOLN COMMUNITY; LOOK TOWARD ALBUM RELEASE, SHOWS

T

he members of Pharmacy Spirits have a lot to say about just about everything.

Even when they are being interviewed, band members Jim Reilly, Courtney Nore and Brendan Wamstad-Evans have no problem bouncing from subject to subject or even interrupting one another.

Handling multiple conversations at once is easy for the three, and not one moment is filled with quiet.

And that makes sense given each member’s involvement in, well, just about everything. Together, the three are a tour de force in both Lincoln’s music scene and community.

Reilly, the band’s guitarist and singer, handles media relations for Occupy Lincoln. Besides playing drums and creating the band’s album covers, Nore runs a bookbinding business. And it seems bassist Wamstad-Evans does a little bit

of everything. All three are involved in other musical projects.

Reilly, Nore and Wamstad-Evans have been making music under the moniker Pharmacy Spirits for about seven years, but Reilly and Nore have been fixtures of Lincoln’s music scene since the ’90s.

Nore was a member of Mister Baby, a garage band that Wamstad-Evans described as an “epic women’s movement.”

“There’s not a lot of women drummers out there in Nebraska,” he said. “When Courtney started playing, she was the one of the only woman drummers in town.”

“I had to be,” Nore said. “We were an all-girl band, and once my friend found out I played snare drum when I was 10,

she made me play drums.”

And she and Reilly were in a band together before Wamstad-Evans joined, creating Pharmacy Spirits.

“Our other band was much more aggressive, lots of yelling,” Nore said.

“Pharmacy Spirits is a little different,” Reilly said. “Obviously, there’s not screaming. We’re inspired by ’80s poprock. Now, we’re no coast…”

“Yes wave,” Nore and Wamstad-Evans add. “No coast yes wave.”

The band is looking forward to a busy year. Pharmacy Spirits hopes to put out

BAND q&a

Omaha band prepares for tour with Cursive katie fennelly daily nebraskan

In a town that’s flooded with singer-songwriters, Conduits stands out. The Omaha sextet avoids acoustic sets and instead separates itself with endless layers of shoegaze and dreamy rock.

Conduits released its selftitled debut album March 20 on Saddle Creek Records. The band just joined Cursive on its tour of its latest album, “I Am Gemini,” and it will support the band April 22 at the Bourbon Theatre, 1415 O St. The Daily Nebraskan caught up with Conduits singer Jenna Morrison to discuss the band’s first album.

Daily Nebraskan: The definition of a conduit is something like a pipe or tube that transports liquids.

What does “conduit” mean to you as a band?

Jenna Morrison: Conduits was actually the working title for the project long before the band even formed. We went through a variety of name ideas, and it just made sense to

us. I don’t know what the word means necessarily to everybody, but I do generally feel like musicians are a conduit for music. We’re just as much a part of it as everybody. We’re just moving the music.

DN: Your album is selftitled. Do you feel that the album is representative of what you’d like to achieve as a band? Is that because this is your first statement as a band — what was the motivation behind the selftitled debut?

JM: I think it’s a little bit of both. It’s definitely our first statement, and yeah, also because it’s our debut album.

DN: You are on tour with Cursive right now. Is this your first tour?

JM: We did do a really tiny stint with Bright Eyes, maybe four dates with them. But this is our first tour. We’re buying a van and going out for a month.

DN: Bright Eyes and

Seattle musician tours through living rooms

››EDITOR’S NOTE: THIS STORY WAS PUBLISHED ON HEARNEBRASKA.ORG ON MONDAY, MARCH 26.

clay masters hear nebraska

“Does anybody have any questions at this point in the show?” David Bazan asked to about 45 people in my living room in Lincoln, Neb., on Thursday night.

This is the most common sentence to hear out of Bazan’s mouth at any of his shows, and it really depends on the venue as to what kind of questions the concertgoers ask. For example, a Bazan show at Omaha’s The Waiting Room in November yielded these less than intelligent questions: “What’s your favorite color?” “Why isn’t anyone besides me dancing?”

But for about the last three years, Bazan’s been touring living rooms across the country, a venue that yields more intelligent audience participation.

This nontraditional touring method starts on Bazan’s website with a list of cities he wants to play. If you’re interested in hosting about 40 to 50 people in your living room, you contact his manager with a photo of where he’ll play and they book a show at your house.

Since the shows aren’t heavily advertised, they attract a more committed fan.

Almost everyone in attendance knows that until 2005, Bazan led Pedro the Lion, a band that explored Christian themes. Music writers were going as far as calling him the first crossover Christian indie rock musician. He grew up in a very evangelical home and over the years began questioning the God he grew up on. It took him five years after his last Pedro record — and

wrestling with alcohol addiction — to release 2009’s “Curse Your Branches.”

Many called it his breakup album with God. In a setting like a living room, he’s able to field questions about the writing process of that album and make the creative process more open to his fans. He also spent a fair amount of time talking about the “This American Life” retraction incident, why he thinks Lowell Bergman is awesome and Rupert Murdoch should die, his love for Nebraska musicians like Steve

Pedersen and Conor Oberst and the Chinese children

who probably made his cheap Epiphone SG. Bazan admits “Branches” was a really hard record to write. But now he’s on a roll. For 2011’s “Strange Negotiations,” he explored the contradictions in what he calls the tie between Christianity and the political rightwing — most blatantly sung about in the album’s first track, “Wolves At the Door.”

He started the show with the tune and it felt like a completely different song in a solo setting than the loud abrasive cut on the album.

Halfway through his set,

a heavy rain fell and a cool rainy breeze swept through the open windows in my house as Bazan played the dark and intimate version of “Priests and Paramedics” off 2002’s Pedro the Lion album, “Control.”

Bazan also said he was going to start recording a new album when he returned to his home in Seattle. He didn’t play anything new or say what themes he plans to explore, just that he’s “stripping it down to the studs.”

That might be the result of playing these stripped-down living room shows.

Make music for self, not others neil orians There are surprising amounts of politics that go into being in a band. Bands are expensive, time-consuming and rarely seem to pay off. Even those who have been at it for years don’t always reap the benefits.

It’s not as simple as just being in a band and making music.

If you want to survive, you have to play the system and make money.

Have you ever looked at the figures of recording an album?

If you want it done right, it’s insanely expensive. It’s not entirely unheard of for a band to take out a loan in order to afford engineering, mixing,

mastering and production of an album. That alone is timeconsuming and extremely expensive, but there are so many other factors that add up to being in a band. Instead of being in a project you enjoy, you end up creating a brand and marketing yourself.

Honestly, at the end of the day, it doesn’t seem worth it.

Sometimes being a musician seems like the worst thing you can do to your ego. It’s a painful process, especially performing your own material. If you’re a real musician, you put your heart and soul into what you write and do. There’s nothing more depressing than feeling like no one cares.

Pop music sort of ruined notions of local, thriving scenes.

The glitz and glamour of the mainstream makes all other musical acts look like wannabe posers. Of course, I’m part of the problem. I haven’t been to a local show in what

feels like forever. I’m so tuned out of the local scene that all the bands I used to go see or play shows with are long gone. That alone is fairly upsetting.

But all musicians need to ask themselves why they got into music in the first place.

Then they need to hold onto that for dear life. The passion for making, the release of stress or whatever else it is that drives you, hold onto that.

I haven’t been in a band in more than a year now. It’s been even longer since I’ve recorded or been on tour. But I’m still writing and demoing music. I still play as much as I can. I work in what little spare time school and work afford me to make music. I don’t do it because I expect it to pay off, or I plan on being famous.

I do it for the love of it.

It’s extremely selfish to say, but I make music for myself and myself first. For me it’s

always been a release and a means to get the anxieties that follow me off my chest. I write music for the same reason I listen to music: to lose myself for just a moment every day.

Music gives me a high unlike anything else out there. I’m addicted, and I don’t plan on going to rehab anytime soon.

Cheesy one-liners aside, music is fun. It’s meant to be fun.

You can say the music you write is transcending the very meaning of art itself, but at the end of the day, you’re compiling different sounds in order.

I guess the moral is not to take everything in music too seriously. It can be super easy to get wound up in the inherent politics that follow the music industry. It can seem like giving up is the best option to save what little dignity we have. Over-analyzing and worrying about “the scene” and how it used to be so cool, man, does nothing but

MUSINGS FROM THE MOSH PIT

hurt what we do have.

Do yourself a favor and explore what we have in Nebraska. Go to the website for Duffy’s or Knickerbockers or whatever venue of your choice and look at their upcoming shows. Choose one that sounds interesting and go to it.

Worst case scenario: you waste five bucks and have a somewhat uncomfortable night. But no matter what, you’re supporting a bunch of dudes and girls who, like everyone in a creative field, have no idea what they’re doing, but know they love it.

‘Hunger Games’ captures book’s details cara wilwerding daily nebraskan

Given a 142-minute time frame, one can’t expect every minor detail from Suzanne Collins’ “The Hunger Games” to be portrayed in the film. But director Gary Ross sure came close.

Hunger Games fanatics lined up for the premiere Friday, March 23. The film claimed $155 million in its opening weekend, according to an estimate by Lions Gate.

In Collins’ post-apocalyptic novel, citizens in the nation of Panem must pay for their ancestors’ faults by partaking in an annual fight to the death.

Twenty-four tributes from 12 districts are put into an arena and only one will come out alive.

Actress Jennifer Lawrence was a nearly perfect choice to play protagonist Katniss Everdeen. She was closed-off and tough, originally wanting nothing to do with her fellow District 12 tribute, Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson).

The cinematography was stunning and every setting was distinctly its own. Ross

demonstrates the glum nature of the reaping (when tributes are chosen) by dressing District 12 participants in plain gray clothing and using a setting similar to a rotting concentration camp.

In the Capitol, buildings are otherworldly and people dress like Lady Gaga, making Katniss and Peeta feel out of their element. Once in the arena, tributes are greeted by lush greenery and clear, flowing water. Gorgeous flowers make an ugly event such as Rue’s (Amandla Stenberg) death look beautiful.

Ross’ use of close-ups also added a nice touch as viewers focused not only on the brutal deaths of innocent tributes, but also on the emotions displayed by those still alive.

Only a few things were left out of the film adaptation. In the book, the final tributes were greeted by animal mutations of their fallen competitors. However, the movie displays these mutations as generic four-legged monsters, leaving out any human element. For this reason, the final arena scene concluded far too quickly and was anti-climactic

courtesy photo

compared to this part of the novel.

While Katniss and Peeta were given plenty of camera time, character development was lacking in almost all other cases. Individuals from District 12, such as Gale (Liam Hemsworth) and Primrose (Willow

Shields) were given little attention. Because these two will eventually become essential in the rest of the trilogy, it is important to show their personalities and relationships to Katniss early on.

Overall, Ross’ film impressed Hunger Games readers and

drew in thousands of nonreaders. The ending scene provided an ambiguous conflict to be addressed in the following two movies. In the words of President Snow (Donald Sutherland), “Hope. It is the only thing stronger than fear.”

pharmacy spirits: from 5 a record this year. The band has already made appearances this year at Lincoln Exposed and Duffy’s Tavern, and they are busy preparing new material for their show with Once a Pawn at the Q (216 S. Ninth St.) on April 13 as part of a benefit for Star City Pride and the Nebraska Pop Festival in July.

The members of Pharmacy Spirits don’t take themselves too seriously. They spend their time making fun of each other and coming up with fake band names (that can’t be published here). Wamstad-Evans went so far as to describe Nore and Reilly as “a cranky old married couple.”

Even songwriting is a lighthearted group project.

“It’s a pretty collaborative songwriting process,” Wamstad-Evans said. “We’ll jam and somebody will have a riff, and then we’ll play that on guitar or wherever it works. Courtney brings a lot of cool drum beats, it’s all about finding a way to make everyone’s ideas work together.”

Just like their songwriting style, storytelling is a group activity for the members of Pharmacy Spirits. And even when faced with the threat of legal action, the band members can’t help but crack a joke.

“We were threatened with a cease and desist order because of ‘Teen Challenge,’” Nore said.

“Apparently there was a Christian morality youth group organization that formed in the ’80s,” said Wamstad-Evans.

“So we sampled a speech from George Bush talking about Teen Challenge,” said Nore. “We thought it was clever. Apparently some people thought it was offensive.”

“But there was never any court order, nothing legal,” said Reilly. “But it was the best publicity possible. Too bad we couldn’t get an article out of that. Maybe now, two years later, is our big moment.” katiefennelly@ dailynebraskan.com

Record’s label, Aural Apothecary. Frontman James Mercer has used a number of different musicians to fill the void from the removal of keyboard player Marty Crandall and drummer Jesse Sandoval on his new record.

Co-producing with the experienced Greg Kurstin, Mercer’s new project sounds more polished and mainstream-friendly than The Shins’ former cryptic works.

It’s a bittersweet installment marked by impressive highs and disappointing lows.

With grandiose expectations, The Shins’ members haven’t fallen flat on their faces, but a few missteps keep this record from living up to the quality of previous albums.

“Simple Song” and “September” are paradoxically two of the best tracks.

“Simple Song” is an extravagant jam that embodies The Shins’ new sound with a stronger electronic influence and exceptional lyrics, but “September” sounds more like something from “Oh Inverted World.”

Mercer passionately revels over a new love in this heartfelt throwback.

On the flip side, “No Way Down” sounds like a cheesy Top 40 track. It’s overly poppy and far removed from what made The Shins who they are today.

“It’s Only Life” initially sounds promising, but the captivating instrumentation is marred by juvenile lyrics delivered in a corny girlish tone.

Through the moments of greatness, “Port of Morrow” is marginally defective as a

whole. It’s a little overproduced and awfully generic in certain areas. Not to say it’s a bad album, but it’s hard to believe that The Shins’ diehard fan base will covet this record like they have with previous installments from the Midwest indie band. jacksampson@ dailynebraskan.com

Southern hip-hop artist’s life influences album Big K.R.I.T focuses on rough youth years Kekeli Dawes daily nebraskan

“What a difference a day makes...” Big K.R.I.T. (King Remembered In Time) contemplates the meaning of life at the start of his new album.

“4Eva N A Day” is an absolutely introspective record, in which K.R.I.T rides on the same vibe as everyone’s favorite lonely stoner, Kid Cudi.

Highly personal, refreshingly honest. There are several parallels sonically as well.

The music is spacious, full of volume, color and emotion.

K.R.I.T.’s rhymes are fluid and effortless — almost casual and conversational. But every word holds weight and meaning. It’s no wonder this Southern rhymer is seen as one of the top lyricists of this generation.

K.R.I.T may be on the same tip as Kid Cudi’s “Man On The Moon” series, but this MC is hardly the depressed toker. He has bigger fish to fry. He is too familiar with the Southern country ghettos, and throughout his life, and this album, he is forced to weigh the good and bad. In a world where the line between nobility and evil is blurred, one must have a steady mind.

The album is full of ambient hip-hop, but Big K.R.I.T.

courtesy photo

is today’s torchbearer of Southern hip-hop. His drawl is unmistakable and driven, much like an energetic Big Boi. The production echoes the best trap music found in Georgia, Texas, Alabama and other Southern states.

The title track reminds you of K.R.I.T’s roots. “Me and My Old School” is a classic

ode to his Cadillac. Chopped uphold because he is “hardOF MORROW er to reach.” His frustration and screwed, a PORT la Huston’s is clear and easy to underbest.

The Shins K.R.I.T’s storytelling and stand and relate to.

“4Eva N A Day” is an exlyricism shine on each track cellent hip-hop album that on the album. But you can Grade get a clear look into the showcases one of the top MC’s mind on tracks like MCs of the day. Big K.R.I.T. “Red Eye,” where he speaks holds his own in a hip-hop on how family and rela- industry that still fails to tionships can be difficult to take many Southern rappers

stray into a nightmarish realm. What sound are you going for?

JM: We’re still a little bit more placid than nightmare, though it might feel nightmarish at times. We go for that dreamy sound, and the darker themes just kind of work their way in.

DN: That dreamy feel is only reinforced by the album’s layered vibe. How

will that sound translate live?

JM: Live, our sound almost comes across even more so than on the album.

It’s going to be loud, because you are surrounded by all of it. I generally get strong feelings with this music. There is the emotionally building wave in our music, and hope people can connect to it on that level.

seriously. Definitely worth a listen. kekelidawes@ dailynebraskan.com

conduits: from 5 Cursive have very different sounds, and it’s safe to say they attract different kinds of crowds. Does the band you are playing with impact your performance?

JM: Playing with Bright Eyes was a different experience for us. We definitely aren’t singer-songwriters and we wouldn’t be able to do an acoustic set. I’m sure there were a few people

in those crowds who liked what we were doing, but I’m thinking Cursive fans, because of the way Cursive’s music is, may possibly latch onto our music a little bit more. They might get the shoegaze, big, ethereal sound more.

DN: Your sound is definitely ethereal. There’s both a dark and a dreamy feel to your music, but it doesn’t

DN: If you had to isolate a few themes or statements the album makes, what would they be?

JM: There are recurring themes, and a lot of them involve outdoorsy-type stuff and feeling nature. But also current events. You might not get that when you initially listen to the lyrics, but passively.

DN: When you say current

events, are you hinting at specific events?

JM: More of just the news in general, the way the world is right now. Nothing too specific.

Things are changing and there’s that act of watching and being enthralled by the news. It’s about trying not to lose yourself in the mess of what is going on in the world right now. katiefennelly@ dailynebraskan.com

meredith: from 10 Martin said Meredith is more than just the pacesetter of the defensive front four; players at positions across the board follow the fourth-year end from Huntington Beach, Calif.

“I think Cam is probably one of the biggest leaders on our team,” Martin said.

Ankrah agreed, adding that Meredith’s competitiveness sets a standard for his teammates.

“He’s somebody everybody looks up to,” Ankrah said. “He doesn’t like to lose, and he’ll show that.

He’ll mess up on a play,

he’ll get down on himself.

Next play he’ll make up for it.

“That shows you what he cares about.”

For Martin, entering only his second season as a defensive end, Meredtih was a mentor in more ways than one.

“I’ve learned a lot from Cam on the field. I learned everything from Cam because I played behind him,” Martin said. “He does everything he has to do to get better.”

Even though he is a teacher, Meredith’s leadership

morale up,” Martin said.

Meredith is supplanting the lost voices of last season’s leaders not with his own voice, but with his conduct. To Kaczenski, that is just as good as the alternative.

“He’s not a rah-rah guy and he’s not going to grab you by the facemask, chest bump and do all of those things,” Kaczenski said.

“He just leads by example and guys will follow when they see him doing the right thing play after play.”

still comes down to setting an example for younger players.

“He’ll tell you a couple things here and there to help you out,” Ankrah said.

Nebraska senior captain Mary Weatherholt won both her singles matches this weekend, helping the Huskers go 1-1 in two Big Ten Conference road duals against ranked opponents Illinois and Northwestern.

Women split road matches Team’s 14-match winning streak ends against No. 50 Illinois Staff Report Daily Nebraskan

While students were out enjoying their last few days of spring break during the weekend, the Nebraska women’s tennis was attempting to gain some traction in the Big Ten against some stellar competition.

On Saturday, the Huskers fell victim to No. 50 Illinois, but bounced back on Sunday to avenge an early season loss to No. 14 Northwestern.

A win on Saturday over Illinois (9-5, 1-1 Big Ten) would have been Nebraska’s 15th straight victory, but the thrilling dual, which was decided in the final set, ended the streak at 14.

“The team isn’t disappointed in losing the streak, because Illinois is really good,” team captain Mary Weatherholt said. “We obviously want to win every game, and we played our toughest, but Illinois just played better that day.”

The Huskers fell by a score of 4-3 in NU’s second Big Ten match of the season. Nebraska got off to a good start by winning the doubles point, which happened to be the 15th time the Huskers have done so this season.

Nebraska extended its lead to 2-0 with No. 58 Weatherholt’s win in No. 1 singles over No. 92 Allison Falkin. Then in an instant, Illinois’ No. 4 singles Amy Allen and No. 6 singles Rachael White defeated Nebraska’s Madeleine Geibert and Jennifer Holmberg to even the match out.

Nebraska rallied back, taking a 3-2 lead as Janine Weinreich won in No. 5 singles.

Illinois evened the match yet again at 3-3 when NU’s Patricia Veresova fell to Illinois’ Melissa Kopinski in a tight match in No. 2 singles, 6-2, 3-6, 6-2.

With the match on the line, NU’s Stefanie Weinstein was narrowly defeated

by Illinois’ Marissa Lambropoulos, 6-3, 2-6, 6-2, in No. 3 singles.

Although the match didn’t end with a victory, NU’s captain said she is confident that it isn’t a loss that should reflect poorly on the

Track & Field: from 10 net,” Wright said. “So the transition’s not that hard.”

Some athletes were busy focusing on other events, though, and were not able to put in as much time as they wanted. Wright, for example, had to take two weeks off training in the discus to focus on the shot put for the Big Ten Indoor Conference Championships.

The men’s throws squad posted a one-two finish in the discus, adding a third place finish in the javelin throw by Austin Braman, who Wright said was back at full strength after having Tommy John surgery to repair a torn UCL. In the men’s hammer throw, Carter Wasem finished eighth with a personal-best throw of 57.10 meters, while Matt Giesselmann placed 11th behind a throw of 52.98 meters.

The women struggled to place higher than the men did in Tempe. Lane said much of this had to do with competition level, as potential Olympic qualifiers stole the tops spots in a number of women’s events. In the women’s hammer throw, Jade Siegel placed fourth and Mary Morales came in ninth behind a personal best throw of 52.31 meters.

Morgan Wilken finished fifth in the women’s discus,

throwing 51.24 meters.

Wright said that though the women didn’t place as highly as the men did at Arizona State, the two squads are fairly equal.

“They train as hard as we do,” Wright said. “I would say that it just wasn’t their day.”

While the Huskers brought mostly throwers to Tempe, a few hurdlers attended the meet as well.

Miles Ukaoma grabbed a first place finish for the Huskers, winning the men’s 400-meter hurdles with a time of 50.52. JodiRae Blackwood placed two spots later, in third, with a time of 51.58.

In the women’s 400-meter hurdles, Mila Andric placed fifth with a time of 1:00.40, while fellow-Husker Rachel Bulter secured a ninthplace finish with a time of 1:03.39. Andric also ran in the 100-meter hurdles, placing ninth.

The Huskers opened in the outdoor track season with the men ranked No. 15 and the women ranked No. 20 in the pre-season USTFCCCA Top-25. Nebraska will not have a team-scored meet, however, until the Sun Angel Classic, back in Tempe on April 6.

Back in action Nebraska took the practice field Monday for the first time since March 14.

Coach Bo Pelini said his team didn’t miss a beat.

“I thought we had a good day coming back,” Pelini said. “You always worry about it with a little bit of a lay off and what’s going to happen. We had a good practice, good tempo.”

Pelini said his team, which was off for UNL’s spring break, came back with good energy.

“We got after it today,” Pelini said. “Our guys are in really good shape. It’s pretty obvious to me that our guys did what we asked them to do during the week off.” ‘high goals’ Quarterback Taylor Martinez spent his spring break working with Steve Calhoun, a quarterback coach in Martinez’s hometown of Corona, Calif.

Martinez said the team is way ahead of schedule for the fourth practice and that his hopes are high for the 2012 team.

“If we don’t go to a national championship, I’ll be disappointed in us,” Martinez said. “I think every player has to have high goals. I think if a player doesn’t have high goals to play for a national championship, they shouldn’t play football.”

Center battle One obstacle the Huskers are trying to overcome in pursuit of a championship is the search for Mike Caputo’s replacement at center. Offensive line coach Barney Cotton and center Justin Jackson both said all three competitors — Jackson, Cole Pensick and Mark Pelini — are taking reps with the first team.

“We are ones, and we are twos, but everyone’s getting a lot of stinking reps,” Jackson said.

Pelini said Ryne Reeves, an All-State center at Crete High School, is experimenting with a move to guard.

D-Line getting

healthy On the other side of the line, the Huskers are still trying to deal with injuries on the interior of the defensive line.

Thad Randle and Kevin Williams are doing individual workouts while trying to get back to full strength to practice with the team. While Randle and Williams sit out, Jay Guy has stepped up to fill the void.

“Overall, he’s been doing OK,” Pelini said. “He’s gotten better. He’s got a lot to work on and a lot to progress on and that’s a position where we really have some young guys in there roughing the inside guys.”

The defensive staff as a whole has undergone a number of changes in the past two seasons with four coaches — John Papuchis, Ross Els, Rich Kaczenski and Terry Joseph — all coaching in new roles or having just joined the program. Pelini said that while the staff is new, they’re meshing very well already.

“I like our continuity,” Pelini said. “It’s like we’ve been together for a long time.”

Other notes: • Guard Andrew Rodriguez is still working with the second team, while Seung Hoon Choi is taking first-team reps. Cotton said Rodriguez has toyed with a possible move to tackle.

• Tackle Tyler Moore said he added 5-10 pounds of muscle since last season, and weighs between 300 and 305 pounds in an effort to beef up for a potential starting spot at left tackle.

• Running back Aaron Green said the Huskers are working in more option plays this season, but that the Husker offense has stayed pretty “vanilla” beside that.

• Cole Pensick has been taking the majority of the team’s first-team reps at center. Martinez said the Huskers only bobbled one snap in Monday’s practice.

Outdoor athletes get first crack at competition after indoor season Chris Peters Daily NEbraskan

Nebraska just competed in its first meet of the outdoor season, and Chad Wright already has bragging rights.

At Friday and Saturday’s Arizona State Invitational in Tempe, Ariz., Wright claimed first place in the discus with a personalbest throw of 59.65 meters.

As a result, Wright took down the defending NCAA shot put champion, Jordan Clarke, who fell to third place.

“I can honestly say I’ve beaten Jordan Clarke,” Wr i g h t said. “It wright gives me a lot of confidence. It lets me know that I can beat anyone I go up against.”

Wright’s teammate Tyler Hitchler also topped Clarke in the event, registering a personal-best throw of 59.13 meters. Although the event hosted some elite competition, including potential Olympic qualifiers in the women’s discus, Wright said only a few top competitors attended the meet, which is typical of the first meet of the season.

“It was just like the Holiday Inn invitational (the indoor season-opener) where there were one or two guys,” Wright said.

Throws coach Carrie Lane, on the other hand, said the fact that 2012 is an Olympic year means more unattached competitors would be at outdoor meets, including the Arizona State Invitational, trying to take advantage of warm-weather meets.

Regardless of the competition level, Lane said the goal is to get the athletes ready for the outdoor season, which can be very different from the indoor season.

“The focus for me in these first three meets is competing well and getting into that competitive mentality after having some time off from competition,” Lane said.

As the first meet of the outdoor season, NU mostly sent athletes who were competing in outdoor-only events as a transitional meet. Some of the events held only during outdoor season are the 100-meter dash, the 400-meter hurdles, the 4x100-meter relay, the discus throw, the hammer throw, the javelin throw and the 3,000-meter steeplechase.

Competitors like Wright, whose strongest event is the discus, tried to work on their outdoor events during the indoor season whenever possible.

“During the indoor season, I would throw in the Cook (Pavilion) using a

Senior Cameron Meredith leads with on-field work ethic for a Husker defensive unit poised for big things in 2012

A

season after the Nebraska football team graduated defensive leaders Lavonte David, Alfonzo Dennard and Jared Crick, the Husker defense has lost more than just 186 tackles and 6.5 sacks.

The Blackshirts also have voices to replace.

And although senior defensive end Cameron Meredith may not be the most outspoken player on the Nebraska roster, he is poised to fill the void left by last year’s seniors.

“There are different types of leaders, I think, and he really isn’t a vocal guy. But he’s a guy that shows up every day and does what you tell him to do and then some,” defensive line coach Rick Kaczenski said.

NU to finish home stand against KSU Sean Whalen daily Nebraskan

Three weeks after Nebraska opened its home slate with a 9-6 victory against Kansas State, the Wildcats will be back for revenge Tuesday at Hawks Field.

Tuesday’s game will mark the end of NU’s season-long 17 game home stand. The Huskers have gone 11-5 thus far on the home stand, winning more games during the last three weeks than four Big Ten teams have all year.

Offense has been the key, as the 17-9 Huskers have averaged more than nine runs per game playing in Lincoln, reaching double digits seven times. This has been good for the pitching staff, which has done its part by keeping its ERA under five during the stand, but coach Darin Erstad doesn’t want to be dependent on huge run totals by the offense.

“We’re going to have to pitch well and play good defense consistently to win ball games,” he said.

Not that hitters like Chad Christensen plan on letting off the gas anytime soon.

“We’re just going to try and stay consistent and keep (scoring lots of runs) as often as possible,” Christensen said.

Brandon Pierce will make his first start of the season Tuesday against Kansas State’s Matt Wivinis. Pierce, who has been a key lategame contributor out of the bullpen this season, was a starter in high school and is the hardest thrower on the team. Because of rare backto-back off days, Erstad can use Pierce for five or more innings and still have him for the Northwestern series this weekend, or he can have Pierce throw two innings and use seven pitchers as he did the first time Nebraska faced KSU. The Wildcats have been strong in the three weeks between meetings. They’ve gone 8-4, with all losses to ranked teams, with wins against both Texas and Texas A&M. KSU is led by the duo Wade Hinkle and Jared King, who have combined for eight home runs and 44 RBI with each sporting an on-base plus slugging percentage more than 1.000.

Christensen nearly matches those numbers himself with his six homers and 33 RBI and can combine with several teammates to make a duo better than Hinkle and King.

“I don’t want to say I’d be afraid to pitch to our guys, but we’ve got some very talented hitters and they’ve been doing a great job all

year,” pitcher Zach Hirsch said.

The home stand has also seen great fan support, with a total attendance of 47,212 during 16 games, including nearly 15,000 for the three game set with Illinois over the weekend. While games against foes such as Northern Colorado or NebraskaKearney drew fewer than 900 fans, any major game seems to draw at least 3,000 fans this season.

Those figures aren’t close to the record-breaking 2006 season, where NU drew over 5,000 on average for the season, and a relatively warm spring has certainly helped. But fan support is certainly up since last season and Erstad’s not complaining. “(The fan support is) very humbling,” Erstad said. “I think it’s rare for anybody in the country.”

Tuesday will be the 27th game the Huskers have played this season, the most of any school in the Big Ten. Other schools will be between 20 and 26 games at that point with an average of 22.3 played. That gives Nebraska’s pitching staff 42 more innings than its average conference opponent at this point in the season. The pitchers don’t seem worried: They just get into a routine and trust the

“We do our routine every week and we stick with what has been getting us wins,” Hirsch said. “We hit

some road bumps along the way, but for the most part we have full faith in everybody on the coaching staff.”
