Inside Coverage

Senator Ernie Chambers argues for his bill, LB540, which would no longer require students in schools to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Chambers said required recitation of the pledge incites bullying on children who do not feel comfortable reciting the pledge because they disagree with what it says.

story by Daniel Wheaton photos by Matt Masin

ebraska’s longest-serving state senator is as much a part of the unicameral as the golden sower on the building’s peak.

Sen. Ernie Chambers, once called “the angriest black man in Nebraska,” is an accepted, respected and feared part of the political process.

The “maverick of Omaha” once sued God and is a master of the filibuster and legislative rules.

“I’m here to promote good legislation and fight bad legislation,” Chambers said.

Today, Chambers is several months into his latest legislative session. He’s already served 38 years, until 2008, representing the 11th district in Omaha. Brenda Council briefly filled his office from until 2012.

But while term limits kept Chambers out for those four years, he’s already back. This January he returned to his post after defeating Council in the November election. He is back in the same office and with the same secretary.

Chambers is generally known for being elusive – he has granted very few interviews to the press.

When asked what his greatest achievement is, Chambers said “I really don’t think in those kind of terms.”

This session, Chambers has blocked several pieces of legislation – including Gov. Dave Heineman’s failed tax reform plan – and introduced legislation to end the death penalty.

This was his 37th attempt to abolish the death penalty. In 1979, his bill passed but was vetoed by Gov. Charles Thone. On March 19, his bill passed in a 7-0 vote from the Judiciary Committee.

Board of Regents extends College Readership Program Despite student disapproval, newspaper service will remain available Cristina Woodworth DN Students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln won’t lose on-campus access to national and local newspapers after the University of Nebraska Board of Regents voted to continue funding for the Collegiate Readership Program at a meeting Friday.

The board unanimously approved the fee allocations for Fund B users at

UNL, including the Readership Program along with Nebraska Unions, Transit Services, the University Health Center and Campus Recreation.

The Committee for Fees Allocation and the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska had already recommended the fee allocations.

Approval of funding for the newspaper program came despite a narrow majority of students voting against it in the ASUN elections. The program failed by 36 votes, with 2,315 students voting against and 2,279 students voting in favor.

Fund B users at UNL are mandatory fees, though, which means a student vote alone cannot eliminate the program. The vote was more a sampling of student opinion.

Eric Kamler, Association of Students of the University of Nebraska president and a senior agricultural economics major, said at the board meeting he believes students did not completely understand what they were voting for.

“By voting the way the students did on this, I think it’s a fallback on ASUN’s part because we didn’t do a good enough job of telling students the benefits they are receiving from the readership program,” Kamler said.

UNL’s readership program is ranked third in distribution numbers among 450 colleges and universities that have the program, ranking only behind Pennsylvania State University in the Big Ten. The program gives students access to The New

York Times, USA Today, the Lincoln Journal Star and the Omaha WorldHerald.

“It’s one of the most used readership programs in the country,” Kamler said. “It’s not that students aren’t using it. I think they just didn’t understand what they were voting on when they voted on it.”

Regent Hal Daub, of Omaha, voiced concern that the board would be approving a fee that the student body had voted against.

“We are voting against the wishes of the student body in this case,” Daub said.

Kamler said students had been adequately represented during the fee allocation process for the readership program because all

recommendations go through the student-led CFA committee. “(The vote) was just a stable way to have student input,” he said at the board meeting.

Students currently pay $4.37 each semester in student fees toward the readership program, according to university data. Overall, this amounts to $200,000 in annual funding, or about 1 percent of the total amount of student fees.

The board approved a 1.7 percent increase in fees for the Nebraska Unions fee allocation at its Friday meeting, which includes the fees allocated to the readership program.

Other fee increases approved by the board included a 62.3 percent increase for UNL Transit Services and a 7.4 percent increase for Campus Recreation. news@ dailynebraskan.com

UNL research faces flat funding until 2021 Budget cuts will limit amount of federal research funding, leaders say Cristina Woodworth DN The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s steady increase in federal research expenditures may be coming to an end because of federal budget cuts, according to university leaders at a University of Nebraska Board of Regents meeting March 15.

“We’ve had a steady climb, but sequestration really jeopardizes that climb,” said Matt Hammons, director of federal relations at NU. Hammons said the university could face federal research funding cuts of $10 to $15 million in fiscal year 2013 and is facing flat

the cities, Wagner said.

The group absorbed the beauty and history of Italy by taking tours of Rome, as well as the Vatican City, Holdren said.

In the mind of a Catholic, it’s not about agreeing or disagreeing with the cardinals’ decision on Pope Francis, according to Holdren.

“We believe the (voting) process was put in place by Christ, it’s more of praying for him to be faithful,” he said.

The announcement of former Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation happened the same day Holdren secured his ticket to Rome.

Holdren, who has seen Pope Benedict XVI speak in Rome before, said it appears the former pope had been contemplating his retirement for years and that the decision was for the best.

Wagner said she is going to be a missionary for FOCUS, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students, after meeting and befriending Caitlin Mulcahy, a UNL FOCUS missionary.

“She was so full of joy and it made me desire what she had,” Wagner said.

“My hope is to do it for a while, more than two years, and then come back to Lincoln and teach.”

Wagner became more involved in church and with her religion after coming to college. Now, she’s a front desk worker at the Newman Center. news@ dailynebraskan.com

Measures include workplace, adoption rights for LGBT individuals DANIEL WHEATON DN In Nebraska, gay people can be fired for their sexual orientation and barred from adopting children or becoming foster parents, but three bills in the Nebraska Legislature aim to address all that by granting more rights to Nebraska’s LGBT citizens.

Lincoln Sen. Danielle Conrad’s bill, LB 485, would prohibit employers from discriminating against individuals based on their sexual orientation. This would add LGBT individuals to the list of minorities who are protected in the workplace. Discrimination against anyone based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, marital status and national origin currently are prohibited.

Another measure, LB 385, would allow LGBT individuals to have the same rights as heterosexuals under the foster care system.

Omaha Sen. Jeremy Nordquist introduced the measure, which would end a policy adopted in 1995 that bars “openly homosexual people” and “unrelated, unmarried adults” who live together from being considered as foster parents.

Finally, LB 380, introduced by Omaha Sen. Sara Howard, would allow two unmarried people to adopt a child together. She said current legislation prevents the adopted child from things like health insurance, Social Security survivor benefits and, in some cases, child support and visitation rights for the people who raised them.

Several groups that deal with adoption and foster care backed

chambers: from 1 Chambers and Omaha Sen. Brad Ashford are the only two independents in the legislature.

Some have called Chambers the “second house of Nebraska’s onehouse legislature” because of his ability to successfully block legislation.

He is a master of the filibuster and commands the legislative floor like a pulpit. Instead of wearing business attire, Chambers usually wears a dark T-shirt, jeans and tennis shoes while at work.

On his first day back in 2013, The New York Times noted the positive interactions Chambers had with his colleagues.

“If you were approaching a black panther, and he’s not in his cage, then you’re not going to do anything to antagonize him,” Chambers told The Times. “Time will tell how real any of this is.”

Later, he added, “I’m probably the most hated man in this state.”

Heineman, who opposes most of Chambers’ political views, said he was glad Chambers had returned.

“I think it’s good for the Legislature,” Heineman said. “He will force them to think through every bill that’s on the floor.”

For some senators, respect for Chambers crosses over to admiration.

“It’s hard to find a bigger Ernie supporter than me,” said Lincoln Sen. Amanda McGill. McGill, who has been serving since 2007, said Chambers and Ashford are “her mentors.”

“As this thing rolls out, it’s going to have a definite impact,” he said. “It isn’t business as usual anymore and we have to stay on top of it.”

NU President J.B. Milliken agreed, saying there are definite changes that are going to affect students.

“When you look at the size of the federal budget, there’s a fair amount of shoulder shrugging that’s going on about the cuts for this first year,” Milliken said.

“But when you look at what the impact could be for some of these discretionary spending, there’s a significant impact for our students there.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

funding for every year until 2021.

UNL research awards fell by nearly 3 percent in fiscal year 2012, according to documents provided for the board. The decrease followed several years of research expenditure growth, including an almost 8 percent increase from the 2009-2010 fiscal year to the 20102011 fiscal year.

Federal research awards at the University of Nebraska, University of Nebraska at Omaha and University of Nebraska Medical Center decreased as well in fiscal year 2012, by about 2 percent.

In the 2010-2011 academic year, UNL received about $235 million in total research expenditures compared to about $191 million the previous year, according to university data. A little less than half of those awards came from the U.S. federal government last year, about $105 million.

University leaders and board

has a picture she took of Chambers’ last day in 2008 before he was forced out by term limitst.

McGill has introduced several bills relating to the needs of wards of the state and the juvenile justice system.

Chambers has accused more conservative senators for clinging to religion and using personal beliefs to discriminate against other people.

On March 18, he defended LB 540, which would overturn the Pledge of Allegiance requirement in schools. During the bill’s defense, he combined his extensive legislative knowledge and personal experiences as part of his persuasive appeal.

“This country does not provide equality and justice for all,” Chambers told the Education Committee.

“I could go on and on, but I won’t.”

He said how he felt ostracized as a child as one of the few black students in school and that he had reservations saying the pledge.

He explained that he felt the measure was necessary to promote equality in schools.

Even though some of his legislation may seem extreme, he said he fights for what he believes is right. In floor debates and committee hearings, Chambers serves as a voice for minorities in Nebraska.

Age, legislative hurdles and opposing senators will not stop him.

“Everything I do, I do 100 percent,” he said.

Cameras are expensive. A good SLR (single lens reflex) camera, like the ones DN photographers use cost about $2,000 not including a lens. With many of our staff photographers not having the resources to own their own cameras and being out and about over spring break, we decided to capture images through our phones instead.

Besides, spring break isn’t about lugging around 10 lbs. of camera gear. Instagram allows us to take photos much like we would with a SLR and add a filter if we so choose.

While Instagram has its fair share of mirror pics and cheesy hashtags like “#transformationtuesday,” it also has lots of great accounts that share breathtaking photos.

National Geographic, The Photo Society and Scott Strazzante are all different users who use Instagram like they would a SLR camera. Whether we were watching Chicago turn green for St. Patty’s Day, hanging out with friends or just enjoying some quiet time, we had our phones with us to capture it all.

UNL journalism college reforms fall curriculum Staff report dn Star City News, the only studentproduced television newscast at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will beef up its production next fall when it starts airing two broadcasts each week.

The change is part of a series of curriculum changes within UNL’s College of Journalism and Mass Communications – changes that streamline some program tracks and others that attempt to meet changes in media.

“Journalism is almost always changing because of what is happening in the industry,” said Jerry Renaud, journalism sequence head and a journalism professor.

Star City News, a 30-minute live newscast produced by broadcasting news and production students, will be a six-credit, 400-level capstone course that will produce twice weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays instead of a three-credit, 300-level course produced only on Tuesdays. The course will be the new capstone for broadcasting students on the news track.

There will also be a new multimedia course that will be required by both journalism majors and broadcast news majors that focuses more on multimedia than writing, Renaud said. This new multimedia class comes as a reformed version of JOUR 302, which is currently taught as eight weeks of writing and eight weeks of video.

The new multimedia course will focus on some photography, videography, graphic design and social media, Renaud said.

“We thought (the new multimedia course) was important for journalism majors and broadcasting majors as well,” he said.

The visual literacy sequence consisting of photography, videography, graphic design and web design courses and required of all students in the college will change too.

Photography and videography will be combined into one 15-week course and another course will combine web design and graphic design, Renaud said.

All of the old visual literacy classes will still be available this summer and next fall, along with the new visual literacy classes, he said.

“If you’ve completed the old vis lit classes, you won’t have to take the new ones,” Renaud said.

Renaud said it would be best if freshmen and sophomores move to the new bulletin, while juniors and seniors stay on the old bulletin.

Anyone who doesn’t want to change to the new bulletin can always talk to Michael Goff, advising coordinator for the college, or any of the advisers at the CoJMC to figure out what their classes will look like next semester and get any additional help.

LGBT equality bills deserve prominence in Neb. Legislature The Nebraska Legislature recently heard proposals for three bills aimed at improving equality in Lincoln.

One bill would ban employers from discriminating based on sexual orientation, another would allow same-sex couples to adopt and the third would make it possible for same-sex couples to be foster parents.

The Daily Nebraskan commends Lincoln Sen. Danielle Conrad and Omaha Sens. Jeremy Nordquist and Sara Howard for continuing the much-needed conversation on equality in Lincoln.

Right now, employers are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, marital status and nationality.

But employers can fire someone because of his or her sexual orientation. Also, willing and capable same-sex couples can’t give homes to children in need.

The failure of the state legislature to take any action on the bills is discouraging.

Last fall, the Lincoln Fairness Ordinance was taken off the November ballot. Omaha is currently the only city in the state with any employment protection in place for members of the LGBT community.

State legislators need to recognize the importance of these bills. They need to take action. They need to take equality seriously.

Support for LGBT rights on the rise

B

ased on the news, I’d say it’s been a good month for the LGBTQA community. Marriage equality is starting to seem less like an “if” and more like a “when.” And that’s fantastic.

This week, the Supreme Court will hear two politically charged same-sex marriage cases. Hollingsworth vs. Perry is challenging California’s Proposition 8, while U.S. vs.

Windsor is challenging the federal Defense of Marriage Act. Nearly two-thirds of all Americans now think gay marriage should be based on the U.S. Constitution and decided for all states.

Basically, for many people, having each state making its own laws isn’t good enough anymore. So that’s adding further pressure to an already touchy topic.

People should definitely be adding pressure, because this is an important topic. No matter which way you feel about the issue, you have to recognize that many people think marriage is important. To many, it’s a sacred institution that solidifies the values of love and commitment. So it only makes sense for people to pay attention to what’s happening in the Supreme Court this week.

Luckily for many, judging by a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, the case for gay marriage is looking pretty good. The poll shows that 58 percent of Americans now support gay marriage, while 36 percent still say it should be illegal. As Jon Cohen, a Washington Post writer, pointed out, “public attitudes are a mirror image of what they were a decade ago: in 2003, 37 percent favored gay nuptials, and 55 percent opposed them.” Sing it with me: the times, they are a-changin’.

The supporting numbers just keep on coming. Over half of the American population – 62 percent – thinks being gay is something people are born with. Only 24 percent of Americans still think being gay is a choice. That alone is a huge step in the right direction.

Even the groups that have traditionally been labeled as the opposition are shifting in their opinions. The white evangelical Protestants who support gay marriage have jumped from 7 percent in 2004 to 31 percent in 2013.

announced he now supports gay marriage because his son is gay. By speaking up, Portman joined the 208 elected Republican state legislators who have voted in support of gay marriage legalization. Also, another 135 prominent Republicans recently signed an amicus brief to show their support for same-sex marriage.

Think of former Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne Cheney. Their daughter is openly gay, and yet many people were surprised when they expressed their support for gay marriage in 2011. I find that funny because in an ABC News interview, Dick Cheney said that he had been a supporter of gay marriage long before 2011. He just didn’t bring it up beEMME GRAFTON cause it “would have sunk President George W. Also, a Methodist church in North Carolina Bush’s prospects for office” in 2000.

I actually understand where Cheney is has actually stopped performing heterosexual coming from because support for gay marmarriages until same-sex marriage becomes legal. It’ll be interesting to see if straight people riage wasn’t huge in 2000. It’s different today, though. When Vice President Joe Biden there realize how much it sucks to be denied and President Barack Obama each expressed something that they have a right to. their support for gay marriage in 2012, people Conservative support has grown from 10 worried that it would hurt their re-election percent in 2004 to 33 percent in 2013.

Drone war requires media coverage

I

t has become the custom today to talk about human rights abuses: lack of freedom, inequality, social injustice, etc.

But one of the most troubling questions hardly ever addressed remains the right to know the truth.

Knowing the truth is obviously not about knowing the top-five buzz-worthy stories in any giant media outlet. Nor is it about absorbing the spin of the media parochialism or being a guru of mass culture. Rather, it’s about the right to get answers to critical questions, untamed by the mumbo jumbo of politics.

Today, along with the Afghan war, the Pentagon – from a drone-base in Saudi Arabia – is BALIGH BEN TALEB waging secretive wars in Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. Drones have killed many civilians, dia hasn’t been able to handle it properly. They including two American citizens abroad. have failed to reveal the truth to the American The issue is off the air, out of sight and out public who have a right to know. of mind. Some people knew about the drone This is another case of the power/knowlwar, but very few dared to report on it. Some edge relationship where there is a voluntary major American news outlets were gagged agreement between the big players – The New from revealing news on the subject under the York Times, The Washington Post and the Aspretext that reporting the truth would threatsociated Press – to withhold stories on the en U.S. national security interests.

quagmire.

Yet, media outlets have become complicit in the killing of many civilians by failing to reveal the true story behind the drone war.

The job of media outlets is to address real and hard-hitting questions. For how long will destroying the lives of other peoples be kept silent in the name of U.S. national security? Doesn’t that conflict American values of peace, justice and democracy?

Aimé Césaire once commented on similar French colonial dynamics where he said “a civilization that uses its principles for trickery and deceit is a dying civilization.”

It is imperative for the American media, as well as the United States government, to stick to their liberal values, listen to the people and bring to a close the desensitization of human casualties abroad. Otherwise, American policymakers are leading the nation down the wrong path.

It’s unlawful and against human nature to apply a one-size-fits-all model for the entire world. Each country’s cultural specificities and contribute to the beauty of humanity.

So, it’s OK for other people to live and think differently from you. But, it’s deceitful to justify the killing of other people in the name of national security simply because they’re thousands of miles away.

As Obama’s use of drones has mushroomed abroad and seen minimal coverage in U.S. media, civil rights advocates express concern that these drone activities could track U.S. “citizens through their cell phones, identify them through a handgun, pepper them with rubber bullets to intimidate them or just blast them off the face of the Earth with live ammunition.”

There are indeed serious questions about aerial surveillance and drone activities, and the public has the right to know more.

WHY I WATCHED: The full ensemble is insane: Pitt, Affleck, Rockwell, Shepard, Renner, Dillahunt, Schneider. I wanted to see how good Mark Brendanawicz is with a six-gun.

BEST PART: Great dramatic acting. The narration framing of Jesse James in his twilight years is a unique way of introducing such a legendary character.

WORST PART: The middle 90 minutes … could … scarcely … be any … slower. Plus, Sam Shepard as big brother Frank for all of five minutes seemed like a waste.

WHAT I LEARNED: Making a “new Western” is extremely difficult. I liked the take on stillness over shooting. review by chance solemPfeifer

Flight (2012, film)

WHY I WATCHED: I’ve loved Denzel since watching “Remember the Titans” every day after school in 2002.

BEST PART: “Flight” experiments with an interesting timeline.

The gritty action occurs in the opening scenes, leaving the rest of the movie to explore the event’s aftermath. This allows the climax to revolve around psychological drama rather than physical.

WORST PART: None of the big names in “Flight” did anything spectacular. Washington as a tortured addict, Don Cheadle as a straight-laced attorney and John Goodman as a stereotypically bizarre cocaine dealer were all roles that lesser actors could have pulled off with similar depth.

WHAT I LEARNED: Denzel’s Best Actor nomination was more about the fact that he took a complex role than whether he did it particularly well or differently than others have before him. review by anna gronewold

the lion king (Live at omaha’s orpheum theater, musical)

WHY I WATCHED: Because I’d finished seasons 1, 2 and 3 and I wanted more.

BEST PART: The humor. A lot of it is in the same vein as “The Office” and “Parks and Rec,” which makes sense because Greg Daniels created them all.

WORST PART: Any episode that focuses on Peggy seems to drag on.

WHAT I LEARNED: I should’ve have watched this show years ago. review by tyler keown

WHY I WATCHED: What can I say? I love me some Disney and show tunes. Watching live theater is an exceptionally wonderful experience, and when your friend tells you she has an extra ticket in the orchestra section, you don’t let that slip away (like Mufasa).

BEST PART: Other than the hyenas having six-packs that made me want to join Scar’s army, the technical aspects of the show blew me away. From the costumes to the lighting design, it is easily one of the most beautiful shows I have seen yet.

WORST PART: Some of the actors looked like they were bored. I understand, Scar: you’re the cool cat in the family … but at least show a bit of excitement in killing your brother.

WHAT I LEARNED: Disney still knows how to bring out the kid in all of us. I swear, that theater was filled with more college students than children. review by emily kuklinski

WHY I WATCHED: With Adam Scott, Lizzy Caplan, Ken Marino, Jane Lynch and Martin Starr starring, Starz’s short-lived but acclaimed dark comedy about a motley crew of caterers couldn’t conceivably not be good.

BEST PART: The subtlety.

Though the show knows when to be outrageous, the clearly defined range of cast members keeps their personalities at the core. Each episode is a perfectly orchestrated party in itself.

WORST PART: The romance.

I’m the last person who would argue for less Lizzy Caplan on television, but her character’s relationship with Adam Scott’s seems forced in a show that thrives instead on inventive dialogue.

WHAT I LEARNED: ‘Canceled much too soon’ isn’t just the plight of network television. Now where’s the “Party Down Movie” Kickstarter? review by cameron mount

ONLINE @

WHY I WATCHED: It’s an early 1990s film based on a book by beat writer William S. Burroughs. Duh. BEST PART: A shadowy organization and giant talking bugs that dispense mind-altering substances when a writer creates something praiseworthy hold the plot together.

WORST PART: I feel much less aware about my conscious reality.

WHAT I LEARNED: Never panic when weird stuff happens.

Hunter S. Thompson is quoted as saying “It never got weird enough for me.” He obviously never saw this film. review by joe wade

WHY I READ: It’s the incomparable Kurt Vonnegut. His signature use of dark satire as a means of social critique and philosophical consideration really revs my engine. Literally, I could hear my brain purring as I read this.

BEST PART: The whole thing – how he made me sympathize with characters I initially despised, how he wove such an intricate plot in a relatively small book, how he shamelessly shone a light on the contemptible aspects of the human race and much more.

WORST PART: At times certain plot devices seemed forced. Slightly.

WHAT I LEARNED: I sort of re-learned Vonnegut’s philosophy: Even if we live in an indifferent universe, to love one another is still a valid purpose for our lives. review by jordan bates

WHY I WATCHED: Cool uniforms! Pageantry! Buzzer-beaters!

BEST PART: Spending literally all day Thursday sitting in a basement watching television. At one point I popped two Alka-Seltzers and then threw some Jalapeno Corn Nuggets in the oven and popped a beer. Forget these “Scholar-Athletes.” I GO HARD IN THE PAINT. WORST PART: Watching all my brackets burn to flames after about a day and a half of basketball.

WHAT I LEARNED: While my classmates were soaking up the sun and puking in the ocean or going home to visit/ignore their loved ones, I sat in my jam-jams ignoring the crummy “spring break” weather and loving it. review by andrew larsen

the next day (2013, music) — david bowie

WHY I LISTENED: I’m a longtime Bowie fan and particularly enjoy aging rock stars, so this was a no-brainer. And you can’t look at the album cover and not listen to the album.

BEST PART: Bowie’s aging hasn’t tamed his music. The combination of his old voice and extremely dark lyrics is interesting throughout.

The last track, “Heat,” is an instant classic.

WORST PART: The album isn’t cohesive within a genre at all.

WHAT I LEARNED: Bowie has still got it and will probably never lose it. review by shelby fleig

‘Memphis’ forgoes answers to unsolved murder case cynthia todd dn Stories like the murder of Caylee Anthony leave people wondering if there will ever be closure to her death. Ongoing searches continue to make headlines and stir up controversy, but Anthony’s was not the first case of its kind.

In the case of the West Memphis Three, another high-profile murder case, the guilty parties might be the same people who put the murderers behind bars.

“West of Memphis,” directed

by Amy Berg, documents the stories of Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin, teenagers who were convicted for the murders of three 8-yearold boys in 1993.

The documentary follows the work of Echols’ wife, Lorri Davis, as she tries to prove her husband’s innocence. The inner workings behind helping the three men are brought to light in this piece.

The West Memphis Three gained numerous supporters, including Johnny Depp and Natalie Maines of The Dixie Chicks, who fought for their innocence.

Supporters stated the three suspects were guiltless based on the lack of weapon, physical evidence, motive or connection to the victims.

A multitude of questions unravel as the film progresses.

Questions regarding who actually committed the murder sur-

face, which adds to the intensity of the piece.

Twists and turns throw audiences for a loop when statements from all sides of the story are introduced. The film tosses in a large amounts of interviews, ranging from witnesses from the original trial to Echols himself.

Emotions skyrocket throughout the film as confessions are made, but the truth still remains obscure.

The documentary leaves viewers uneasy when a possible suspect reportedly admitted to a family member that he was responsible for the murder of the three boys, but the evidence was deemed inconclusive and no further charges were made.

After years of struggle, Echols, Misskelley and Baldwin were released from prison in 2011 on an Alford plea deal. The plea allows those convicted to claim their innocence, but maintain a conviction for the state.

In other words, they agreed to plead guilty without being the ones who technically committed the crime.

This begs the question of whether justice was served for the families of those killed and the three men who spent the majority of their lives in prison.

Berg portrayed the importance of both the lives lost to death and those lost to time.

This chilling documentary isn’t for those light of heart.

Hypothetical timeline tightens the love noose PLAYGROUND POLITICS

katie nelson dn “Are you married?”

“No.” “Are you engaged?”

“No.” “Do you have a boyfriend?”

“No.” “Do you have a crush?”

I stopped for a minute.

“I, uh ... no.”

“What are you doing with your life?”

Homework? Two jobs? Class?

No time for love, chick. No time for love.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

I was sitting in the cafeteria being grilled about my choice of an independent lifestyle by a fourth grader. She wasn’t the only one interested. The whole group of 10-year-old girls was leaning in and I could feel my personal bubble shrinking.

“Well,” I fired back, perhaps slightly defensively, “do you have a boyfriend?”

“Yeah,” she responded, “I have two.”

I was amused, and also slightly deflated, but immaturity had taken over. “Oh really, what are their names?”

She couldn’t remember. She and I seem to have the same problem when dating people.

“Well, how do you know you’re dating?”

“Well, one of them sits next to me in class because of line order,” she counted on her fingers, “and the other one is a seventh grader and he plays with me.”

I couldn’t argue with that logic.

After recess, she caught up with me again and began asking me about my best friends, specifically my guy friends.

“Don’t worry,” she assured me, “one of those guys sounds pretty nice. I’ll hook you up. But don’t worry about it; it’ll be a surprise.”

Tick, tick, tick.

It was time for class to start and my volunteer hours to end.

The girl’s conversation drug me back to countless others I’d had

with my mother or grandmother or myself. “Oh, you saw a movie with what’s-his-name? Yes, he sounds very nice.”

“Mom, it’s not like that. The world has changed.”

“Are there any boys in the picture right now? You don’t need to have a boyfriend; you can date several boys at once.”

“No, Grandma, I can’t. I actually never honed that skill.”

Tick, tick, tick.

I’m getting restless. I didn’t know this about myself, but I do now. I’m bored. Classes bore me. People bore me. I bore myself. Can you be bored to death? I actually sat down and pondered that one day, then I waited to die.

That was a joke, a boring one.

It’s time for change. The season is changing. I’m supposed to be changing. I’m restless for change – any change. For an adventure, any place will do. For a someone, any person will do.

Fuck.

I’ve been slamming my head against the university’s walls for years now. Two majors. One minor. Two jobs. Volunteer work.

Then law school. Then a career.

Then life. Wait. Maybe life, then school. Maybe life, then a career.

No, it’s definitely the other way around.

Tick, tick, tick.

Somewhere in the midst of all my careful class planning and resume building, I figured I’d also date, you know, fall in love, or whatever. I thought maybe first love in high school? That didn’t happen. I thought maybe first love in college? I’ve thought it’s sensible to wait to commit until … later, right? I’ve watched countless girls from my high school class get pregnant, get married, end. But I haven’t. I’m

I’m alone. I don’t need a partner to define myself, I think. Or is it someone to complete myself?

Tick, tick, tick.

I’m antsy. I’m restless with anticipation and I don’t even know what to anticipate. He’s nice; he’s cute. She’s nice; she’s cute.

And what the fuck did that little girl mean? I can flirt. I can be attractive. I can reassure myself with one too many drinks and a few meaningless dinner dates.

What did she mean?

Tick, tick, tick.

I’m a timebomb. I’m a timebomb whose fuse fizzes out … later, right? I’m the firework that doesn’t go off. That’s Old Maid age, right? That’s too-oldto-be-independent right? That’s not-quite-young-and-beautiful.

That’s too-old-for-grandchildren. That’s marry-the-first-guyyou-see. That’s marry-the-firstguy-who-sees-you.

Tick, tick...

Oh God, they’ve gotten into my head. I’ve gotten into my head. Where did this ridiculous timeline come from anyway?

Who drew the line in the sand between “youthful” and “worthy” and “old” and, Jesus, what’s the word? Decrepit? Useless? Well, guess what? We’re all going to cross that line someday. There will be a day when all women – all people – aren’t quite what they used to be. Except we’re still lovable. That’s something that doesn’t change. We will retain the ability to love and to be loved.

Maybe that’s what that girl meant as her imagination swept me off into Cinderella’s carriage, my own prince at my side: I’m worth loving. To her sweet disappointment, I don’t have the wedding dress yet, or the ring, or the prince. Actually, I’m not even dating anyone.

But I have the potential.

And if not, well, screw it. arts@ dailynebraskan.com twitter @dnartsdesk

The Huskers nudged closer after the third event with a total of 148.075, but the Wolverines still held the lead at 148.225, setting the stage for Nebraska’s dramatic win with the explosion on vault.

NCAA Regionals is next up for the Huskers, with the site and date to be determined Monday. Even after bringing home a conference crown, Kendig said his team is still focused on what they hope to accomplish instead of what has already been done.

“This team works very hard,” he said. “We take a lot of pride in what we do, and I am very proud of this team. Our seniors have meant a lot of this program and we still have NCAAs to come, so we need to keep working hard.” sports@ Dailynebraskan.com

Kokesh finishes 3rd, Huskers 13th at the NCAAs Zach Tegler DN Robert Kokesh may not have won a national championship Saturday at the NCAA Wrestling Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, but that doesn’t take away what he did accomplish.

The Nebraska sophomore avenged his only two regular season losses by defeating Iowa’s Mike Evans and Minnesota’s Logan Storley to finish third in the country at 174 pounds.

“It’s kind of bittersweet for me,” Kokesh said. “I wish I could have been in the national title spot, but I beat two kids who I haven’t beat in my career, so that was also pretty awesome.”

Kokesh’s finish earned him All-American honors for the first time. NU 157-pounder James Green achieved All-American status for the second year in a row by finishing seventh, and the Nebraska wrestling team finished 13th in the tournament with 38 points.

“Ups and downs. Typical NCAA tournament,” Nebraska coach Mark Manning said. “You strive for perfection each time.

That’s what hurts.”

Kokesh, the No. 4 seed at 174 pounds, rolled to victories in his first three matches before falling to No. 1 seed Chris Perry of Oklahoma State – the eventual champion – in overtime of the semifinal. In the consolation bracket, he upended No. 3 seed Evans and No. 6 seed Storley by scores of 3-2 and 3-1. In four previous college-level matchups, Kokesh had not beaten either wrestler.

“It’s just a mental hurdle,” Manning said. “Robert did a good job of mentally understanding,

‘Hey, you know, I’ve prepared for these guys. I can beat these guys.’

He had a lot of confidence from doing that.”

Kokesh had not beaten Storley in previous South Dakota high school matches, either.

“They’ve beat me every time,” Kokesh said. “It’s just something that I’m glad that I finally accom-

plished: getting over that hump and going out there and just executing my game plan.”

Green, the No. 4 seed in the 157-pound bracket, was upset in the first round by Missouri’s Kyle Bradley in overtime. The NU sophomore won four-straight matches in the wrestlebacks before losing to Virginia’s Jedd Moore. Green then

won the seventh-place match with a 14-4 major decision.

“He came back hard. It’s tough when you lose the first round,” Manning said. “You’ve got to come back in the consolation bracket.

James really put on a lot of dominating performances coming back and taking seventh, finishing on a high note.”

Nebraska senior Ridge Kiley was eliminated after losing his first two matches at 141 pounds, while fellow senior Josh Ihnen, the No. 8 seed at 184 pounds, finished one win short of matching his AllAmerican performance from a year ago.

“Ridge fought his heart off. He gave great effort, and it is what it is,” Manning said. “Josh has meant a lot to our program – both these guys. It’s sad that they didn’t go out being on the podium.”

Freshman 165-pounder Austin Wilson and junior 197-pounder Caleb Kolb made their first appearances at the NCAA Championships for Nebraska. Both lost in the first round, and Kolb won one consolation match before his elimination.

Wilson came back to win three matches in the consolation bracket before losing to No. 5-seed Steven Monk of North Dakota State.

“Austin winning three matches was really good, and that’s awesome,” Manning said. “He got more comfortable as he wrestled the tournament. Gained a lot of confidence.”

Penn State won the team championship for the third consecutive year with 123.5 points, while the Huskers’ 13th-place result topped their 21st-place performance in 2012. sports@ Dailynebraskan.com

NU softball team sweeps Northwestern josh kelly dn The No. 23 Nebraska softball team opened conference play with a three-game series during the weekend against unranked Northwestern. Although the weather affected field conditions at Bowlin Stadium, the Huskers were able to play two out of the three games.

In anticipation of the weather, the two softball teams played a doubleheader on Friday, hoping the field would be ready sometime Saturday or Sunday so Nebraska could have a complete series against the Wildcats.

The first game of the doubleheader began on a good note – a 5-4 victory for the Huskers. Early in the outing, things weren’t going so well, allowing all four runs in the second inning. Junior pitcher Tatum Edwards stayed positive on the mound to keep her team in it against the conference opponent.

“Definitely when you come into conference, you know each other,” Edwards said. “You know each batter, and you know the pitchers a lot more than you would in the preseason. It’s just something you have to keep on the grind, and you have to fight.”

Up to that point, Nebraska hadn’t scored a single run yet. But in the fourth inning, after a single and two players were hit by a pitch, the bases were loaded to set up a double to left center from Edwards.

Looking back, it was that inning that kept Nebraska in it.

“The turning point of the game was when were able to get them

The two runs helped fuel the

rally to overcome the four-run deficit. In the bottom of the eighth inning, the bases were loaded again.

This time Taylor Edwards, Tatum’s

sister, was up to bat. The junior was hit by a pitch on 1-0 count to bring home sophomore Mattie Fowler as the winning run for the game.

Tatum chalked up another victory, adding to her 14-win total she has on the season.

Game two was a completely different game for Nebraska. The Huskers beat the Wildcats in a 14-1 blowout.

Nebraska coach Rhonda Revelle’s squad came firing right of the gate in the first inning, registering eight runs, which is the most runs the team has scored all season. After the first run of the game coming from a RBI single to right field from senior Brooke Thomason, Fowler hit a line drive that went off the first basemen’s glove to extend the lead by three runs.

Two innings later in the third, the Huskers scored again, adding six insurance runs that made the game end in the fifth inning because of the mercy rule. The 14-run total was the highest for Nebraska on the season and the second-highest the team has ever recorded in conference play.

All in all. coach Rhonda Revelle was impressed on how her team began the conference part of the season.

“I think any time you start conference play there’s a lot of focus on your conference opponents and playing in the Big Ten,” Revelle said. “We came out, and we got behind, but what I’m really proud of is that we didn’t let that rattle us.”

The Huskers begin conference play undefeated at 2-0 and will continue Big Ten play next weekend at Illinois. sports@ Dailynebraskan.com

Perfect Nebraska wins its second-straight Big Ten tournament

wo years ago, Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten brought a lot of changes. However, for the Husker women’s gymnastics team, it’s been business as usual as the squad won its second-straight Big Ten Championship and third-straight conference title Saturday in East Lansing, Mich.

“No words can describe it,” said junior Emily Wong, “I am just so excited right now. It is an amazing feeling.”

As a team, Nebraska put together a stellar allaround performance to earn a season-high score of 197.800 and edge Michigan in the final standings.

Individually, Wong matched the repeat effort with her second consecutive Big Ten all-around with 39.725, the second-highest score at a conference championship meet in school history. This happened on a night that saw NU post a programrecord for team score at a conference championship.

Wong won or tied for event titles on bars (9.925), beam (9.90) and floor (9.975) to lead the Husker charge. Six more team members also won or tied event titles, with Janelle Giblin, Hollie Blanske, Brittany Skinner and Jessie DeZiel splitting the title on vault with scores of 9.95. Sophomore Jennifer Lauer grabbed NU’s final share of

an event title, scoring a 9.90 to give her a split with Wong for the best beam routine.

Outside the individual honors and awards, the story of the night for Nebraska was a thrilling comeback in the final event to knock off No. 3 Michigan.

With the teams separated by just .150 points, Nebraska took to vault for its last event as Michigan headed to the beam. Although the Wolverines headed to their statistically worst event, the Huskers still needed to go big if they hoped to pull the comeback, and the team delivered.

Using the effort of the four gymnasts who would eventually share the event title (Blanske,

DeZiel, Giblin and Skinner), Nebraska posted a school-record 49.725 to seal its title and overtake Michigan, which finished second after a score of 49.000 on beam.

After Janelle Giblin posted the first 9.95 and Desire Stephens hit 9.85, a score she’d only earned once coming into the meet, the next four NU gymnasts rattled off scores of 9.925 or higher to send the team into a frenzy.

“Momentum was the biggest key,” said Nebraska coach Dan Kendig. “I always say if the first girl can hit it, the sky is the limit. Janelle started us off, Desi had a good vault and the last four did incredible. It was something special.”

kyle cummings dn For most of the game, the No. 6 seed Nebraska women’s basketball team did not have an answer to No. 11 University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s streaky offense.

Then midway through the second half, Nebraska switched to a man-to-man defense.

“Man is our base defense,” Nebraska coach Connie Yori said.

“We work on man all the time.

We didn’t necessarily go into the game preparing to play a lot of man, but it just worked out that way.”

That was part of Nebraska’s answer; the Huskers went on to beat Chattanooga 73-59 Saturday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

“I think we had a media timeout early in the second half, and coach Moore said they’d probably switch to a man-to-man defense, which they did,” said Chattanooga senior guard Kayla Christopher, who finished with 11 points

in the game. “From that point on, they turned the pressure up, and it was hard for us to get looks.

They definitely got to us.”

As Nebraska’s defense began to shut down the Lady Mocs, the Huskers found huge offensive production from junior Jordan Hooper – the second part of their answer. Hooper finished with 21 points, including 18 in the second half.

After being held to only three first-half points, Nebraska’s leading scorer found her rhythm late in the game.

“I think I just gained more confidence,” Hooper said. “My teammates and coaches definitely gave me a boost of confidence at halftime. I came out in the second half, and they talked to me and got me going. Coach just kept calling plays for me to run, and so that gave me a lot of confidence knowing that she had confidence in me. If she’s going to put me in that position, then I’m going to shoot it.”

Early on, though, the Huskers struggled to contain Chattanooga, particularly behind the 3-point arc. While Nebraska focused on shutting down Chattanooga’s inside game, the Lady Mocs had hit nine three-pointers in the first 90 minutes of the game.

“With Chattanooga, it is a little bit about choosing your poison.

We tried to do a good job on their inside game,” Yori said. “We had two Chattanooga kids go 8-for-10 from the 3-point line.”

Now, Nebraska moves into the second round of the NCAA tournament, where it will face the No. 3 seed in the Norfolk Region, Texas A&M, at College Station, Texas, on Monday evening.

While Yori hadn’t looked into Texas A&M much by the Chattanooga post-game press conference, she expects the Aggies to bring aggressive pressure and dif-
