LETTER FROM THE EDITOR We did it. This was my first thought when protestors in Chicago shut down Trump’s rally. As a native of Illinois, I considered it a victory against the gory horror movie that is his campaign. But here’s the thing: it was a mistake. As despicable as his policies and rhetoric are, shutting down his speech is going to cause more problems than it solves. I wouldn’t have denied the protestors the right to speak; I just don’t support their efforts to deny Trump his. It shouldn’t be a point of pride to silence a conversation, even if it isn’t fit to spit on. And the conversation is nasty. At a rally in Iowa, Trump promised to pay the legal fees if his supporters punched anyone throwing tomatoes. In Las Vegas, he said he wanted to punch a protestor “in the face.” So I understand why the retaliation feels almost impossible to prevent. But by denying Trump his chance at the mic, protestors have done something even more dangerous – they’ve made him stronger. Now, Trump can blame the violence on Chicago “thugs,”; never mind the violence his supporters have committed in the past. He can claim his right to freedom of speech was violated; never mind his track record of suppressing that of others. And those who worship Trump are eating it up. If the protestors thought they could convince people in the crowd, they were sorely mistaken. Trump doesn’t seem to be running out of ammunition – why are we gifting him with extra bullets? Marginalizing Trump’s fans is tempting, but it’s unwise. These are the people who don’t feel their voice is being represented. We make fun of them on TV and designate them as the punchline in front of our friends, our classmates. Slowly but surely, though, our laughter has become more of a nervous titter. Taking away their mouthpiece just makes them louder, angrier. On Wednesday, the Illinois primaries went to Trump. What did we do?
Sincerely, Kayla Simon

Young girls blossom at Camp SummerGold ANNIE HIMES DN
Two dozen girls sit in a circle ready to spend a week learning about science. It’s their first day at Camp SummerGold in Crete, Nebraska. All the campers introduce themselves: name, hometown, why they came to camp. Each girl is allowed to talk only for as long as she can wind a long piece of fabric around her hand – a kind of talking stick. Camp Director Judy Hart speaks first. After she passes one camper the piece of fabric, the young girl pauses and says: “I’m a nerd, and I don’t have any friends.” Without hesitation, the circle responds: “We’re nerds too. We’ll be your friends.” Camp SummerGold is one of only two American Camp Association accredited overnight summer camps for girls in Nebraska – the second is a Girl Scout camp. SummerGold’s ultimate mission is to bring a diverse group of teen girls together to explore the arts and sciences and foster collective girl power.
Only in its third year of operation, it is the brainchild of Judy Hart and Rhonda Lake, SummerGold’s co-directors. Hart and Lake are theater people. But they’re also camp people. The pair met in the early 1990s in Lincoln when Hart started the Angels Theatre Company, and Lake worked as the director of Children’s Theatre at the Lincoln Community Playhouse. For countless summers, they trekked to western Massachusetts to work at an arts camp for girls. After years at Belvoir Terrace Summer Camp, Hart said to Lake, “Why don’t we do something like this in Nebraska?” In 2013 the two women decided to create a summer camp for girls in Nebraska ages 11-17. Fast-forward to 2016, and SummerGold is entering its third summer of operation. The camp is divided into two one-week sessions. The first focuses on arts, and the second focuses on science, technology, engineering and math. SummerGold’s location on Doane College’s campus inspired this arts and sciences approach. “We felt that if we were to do this at a college,

it should be that arts and sciences based camp,” Lake said. “It’s about girls experiencing what college is like.” SummerGold’s goal is not to provide rigid courses in the arts and sciences, but to challenge campers to think outside the box, exercise creativity, discover and draw connections between disciplines. Each summer brings a new theme and new focus to the two weeks. This summer the STEM week will pay special attention to coding. Hart hopes the STEM week will help campers think of coding in innovative ways. “This year for our STEM week, we are looking for coding for digital games, coding for television news broadcasting, coding in creative writing,” Hard said. “We’re doing this remarkable collaboration with a hip-hop artist and a poet, starting with the question, ‘What can bodies do?’ So we’ll wrap that whole idea of putting dance and language together with the outcome being coding. We’ll frame it so the girls say, ‘Oh, coding is not just one thing, it’s many things.’” Hart said this summer’s arts week will be framed in a similar way, incorporating many themes and activities. The arts girls will dance,
paint, make paper, quilt and perform theater. Each year has a theme, and in summer 2016, SummerGold campers will be looking at how “from small pieces come big ideas.” Community leaders – mainly women – visit the camp to work with the campers and offer expertise. In the past, a representative from Voices of Hope spoke on safe relationships. Professors from local colleges and universities have talked about topics ranging from robotics to government. Women architects from Clark Enersen Partners visited two summers in a row. This year the SummerGold girls will have the chance to visit 10/11 News and meet the channel’s women producers and technicians. “If you can see it, you can be it,” Lake said. “It’s giving them permission to explore.” Hart and Lake said they hope SummerGold’s programming will introduce girls to new interests, goals and dreams, showing every camper she can be whatever she wants. In its third year, SummerGold remains a small camp, but the program continues to evolve.

Club advocates for women in ad, creative industry STEPHANIE CAVAZOS DN
After a five month inspiration period, Samee Callahan and Amanda Walla were ready to launch the 3 percent club at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The idea behind the 3 percent club is that only 3 percent of employees in the advertising and creative industry are women. Walla originally wanted to bring the organization The 3% Conference to UNL because of her own experience with gender bias in the graphic design field. About a year and a half ago, Walla expressed this frustration to her adviser, professor Amy Struthers. “Graphic design is generally a male-dominated field,” Walla said. “Amy (Struthers) told me I should look into The 3% Conference.” Walla said the conference was held to inspire and motivate women to pursue the creative field of advertising and media. There was a scholarship contest where pairs of students could make a poster, and the top 10 winners would be flown out to attend with all expenses paid. Walla and Callahan won. The duo decided they wanted to bring the same type of women empowerment to UNL. Thus, 3 percent at UNL began this spring semester. At club events, presenters lectured about self-branding and the importance of LinkedIn profiles. However, Walla said the beginning framework of the organization was a struggle. “It was difficult trying to find out what would be our ‘thing’,” she said. “Like what we’d be known on campus for.” Together they eventually came up with a zine. A zine typically has feminist roots, and Walla said it’s like a counterculture and independent publication. The club is working to make a collaborative zine rather than an individual artist exploring their work. The requirements to join the club and publish in the zine are simple – you must be a UNL student doing something creative. “We really just want to empower women to create and go out into the world,” Callahan said. Walla and Callahan envision the zine to be completely free to UNL students. Earlier this year, a fundraiser to support the 3 percent club was held at Wahoo’s Fish Taco. “Our goal was not to have any membership fees,” Callahan said.
PHOTO BY INGRID HOLMQUIST | DN The organization is currently looking for contributions of art, graphic design, interviews, poems, short stories and anything that can be published in the printed zine. Primarily, the group gives a platform to publish and create female empowerment. The feminist pieces will eventually make a collection set to release this May. “We don’t want to censor,” Walla said. “We want it to be real and raw just like our members are.” Assistant professor of practice in the
college of journalism and mass communications Sheri Sallee worked with the club since its inception. Sallee said she involved herself with 3 percent at UNL because she’s an advocate for equality. “I see myself as a champion for change,”
Sallee said. “When I learned of a group of CoJMC students who wanted to join an international movement to change the representation of women in leadership and creative roles, I was in.” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Alumna brings Husker spirit to the Bronx SARAH BERGER DN Whenever Rachel Mann puts her small, bright red apple pin on her shirt, she’s reminded why she loves her job. She’s reminded why she makes the 25-minute commute from Manhattan to the Bronx every morning, and why she continually tests her patience while teaching 5-year-olds the alphabet. And she’s reminded why she wants to make a difference in her kindergarten students’ lives. The pin came from Mann’s third grade teacher, Mrs. Sorensen. Sorensen was given the pin on her first day of teaching and passed it down to Mann when she became a teacher. Sorensen was Mann’s inspiration to become a teacher after Mann shadowed her for a day in high school. “As a teacher, you’re making a difference in someone’s life,” Mann said. “Not just for a second, but forever.” Mann, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln alumna, has taught kindergarten at Brilla College, a public charter school in South Bronx since it opened in 2013. Every day Mann works with her students from 7:30 a.m. until 3:15 p.m., teaching them skills in reading, writing and math. Each day starts with the students eating breakfast. According to Mann, 90 percent of the students at Brilla are on the free or reduced lunch program. Mann enjoys starting her day by just talking to her students during breakfast and hearing about their lives. After breakfast, the students go to their respective classrooms. Each room has 15 laptops for students to work on half the time. The other half they are split between two teachers for targeted instruction. There is also playtime, lunch and specialized subjects such as martial arts and dance scheduled into the students’ days. “It’s jampacked,” Mann said. Mann said students come into the school at different academic learning levels. Some of her students can read at a first or second grade level, but others are still learning the alphabet. She also said many of her students come from predominantly Spanish-speaking homes and had heard very little English before coming
to kindergarten, but according to Mann, this is one of her favorite aspects of her job. “It’s really incredible to start the year where they don’t even know their alphabet, but by the end of the year they are reading books,” Mann said. “Kindergarten has a special place in my heart.” All rooms at Brilla are inspired by different colleges across the U.S. When Mann got the chance to pick what school to base her classroom off of, she chose UNL without hesitation. All the decorations in Mann’s class come from her friends and family. A large flag with the Husker’s logo hangs from ceiling with letters that spell out “There’s No Place like Nebraska” stick to the board. Football posters line the walls and students play with red and white poms poms. Mann gets her students excited for their day by mentioning rivalries with other Big Ten teams, such as the University-of-Michigan-themed class down the hall. “It’s really fun to put the image of college into their brains while they’re so small,” Mann said. “When they get to high school and have to start thinking about what college to go to, they can already have some schools in mind.” Even before her job at Brilla, Mann had a passion for teaching. As the oldest child in her family, Mann taught her younger brother and cousins all the things she had learned in school. After school, she would play with her brother in a makeshift classroom in her family’s basement with one desk and chalkboard explaining long division and chapter books. “It’s so funny,” Mann said. “My kids now in the Bronx don’t even know what a chalkboard is.” After she graduated in 2011, Mann spent a year in Florence, Italy, teaching English. While she was abroad, she met her fiancé and decided to move back to the East Coast, closer to his hometown in New Jersey. After she moved, Mann reconnected with her Resident Assistant from Abel Hall who was opening a new charter school in D’Bronx, and Mann immediately took the opportunity to be one of school’s first teachers. “When I moved back I knew I had a passion for
COURTESY PHOTO | DN kids,” Mann said. “I wanted to make an impact in the zip code that needed me the most, and then I found Brilla.” Mann said the best part about being a teacher at Brilla is her student. Seeing their smiles, hearing their stories and watching them grow are her favorite parts of her job. “I always giggle with my fiancé about Sun-
day nights,” Mann said. “I feel like most people dread them because they have to go back to work, but I’m always excited because I miss my kids, and I get to see them tomorrow.” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Soon-to-open Method Cycles & Craft House will give Lincolnites their first cycle shop/coffee house/ bar hybrid
ANNIE ALBIN DN
Part bike shop, part bar and part coffee house, Method Cycles & Craft House is the first of its kind in Nebraska. Located at 416 S. 11 St., the shop is close to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as
well as an urban area full of bike riders. It’s a business idea that’s been found in Portland, Oregon, and Denver, but soon a cycle shop/coffee house/bar hybrid will be available to Lincolnites. Work on the store began in September with a reconstruction to equip the space as both a bar and a bike shop. Then, calls to insurance agencies were made to find a company that could insure them as both a bike shop and a bar. Method Cycles & Craft House doesn’t have an exact opening date yet, but it should be open in the spring. During the day, customers can sip on Archetype Coffee and eat goodies from Goldenrod Pastries, and then at night get a craft beer from one of the many taps that will be
installed. “I decided to create the kind of place I would want to hang out at,” leader of the project Jason Brummels said. Brummels owns the web development company Drive Method, which is where he first came into contact with the Atir Cycles brand. Patrick McFarland started Atir Cycles in 2012 in Lincoln. When McFarland decided to leave the states, Brummels worked out a deal with him where McFarland could own the brand, and Brummels would distribute the bikes across North America for him. Atir Cycles are simple and lightweight, with clean lines and the ability for the customer to customize their bike with the option of nine frame colors and 16 wheel col-
ors. There aren’t as many parts, so not a lot can go wrong, said Brummels. Bikes can range from $350 to $500. The store will be the flagship for Atir Cycles in North America. Not only will Method Cycles & Craft House have bikes for sale, but it will also have a public bike bay with the tools typically needed for bike repairs. Bike mechanics will be on hand to fix problems and help customers find the right Atir Cycles bike. The bay should be especially useful for students. “They want to learn, or they would do at least some stuff on their bike you just can’t

SUMMERGOLD: FROM 4 Hart and Lake both said there will be about 30 girls each week. Mallory Whitman, a University of NebraskaLincoln sophomore and athletic major, worked as a SummerGold counselor in 2015 and will return in 2016. She said the camp’s small size is beneficial. “It is small enough where you know everyone – just the closeness of it,” Whitman said. As a counselor, Whitman was able to watch campers explore and grow throughout the week. “I loved that I was able to invest in them,” Whitman said. “They learned a lot from me, but it goes both ways. They grew a lot during the week, and for them it was more obvious. For me it was more internal and just figuring out what motivates me and why I am doing this.” Thanks to scholarships, grants and community partnerships with organizations such as the YWCA, girls from diverse socioeconomic levels are able to attend camp. “There were a couple girls that were there, and they just really encouraged the other girls,” Whitman said. “And they were like, ‘We come from different backgrounds but personality wise, we’re not all that different.’ There wasn’t a lot of conflict, and I think a lot of that was because of Judy and Rhonda being like, ‘Hey, this is who we are, and we are going to include everybody, so you have to love on everybody.’” Whitman said Hart and Lake have been particularly friendly and encouraging to her and the campers. “[Judy and Rhonda] have kept in touch and they pay attention to so many little things,” Whitman said. “I would say something, and they would bring it up two months later. They are just very detail oriented, and they care. They are very inclusive of everybody no matter who they are, what they look like, what their likes or dislikes are.” As SummerGold continues to grow, Lake and Hart are able to especially invest in returning campers. They say their vision is to have girls return year after year, so they continue to flourish and evolve along with the young camp. “We have girls that have come back for three years now,” Lake said. “When you return, you see your friends. You celebrate your accomplishments, and it just keeps spiraling up. It’s just so fun to see them return and then taking the new people and watching them evolve. It’s a good

foundation for girls to fall back on when they are feeling low. They can remember what camp is like and try to recreate it.” Lake and Hart host camp reunions in the wintertime and attend campers’ concerts and performances during the year. Ultimately, they
would like to see SummerGold grow into a yearlong leadership program for girls. “It’s worth it,” Hart said. “I’m going to affect a child’s life for the rest of her life. She’s going to trust somebody a little bit more because of this experience.”
Hart, Lake and Whitman all spoke to the growth they witnessed in each camper throughout the week. Girls trying new things, making new friends and building confidence and selfesteem. Lake said it’s like watching a flower bloom.

text. Love knew this would happen and embraced it. “I made these images because they spread really fast,” Love said. “They’re designed to be viral images.” The images go out and are remade, but then Love has the opportunity to take what a
stranger has done and redo it, making it his own work once more. “Almost all the art I’ve ever seen I’ve only seen on a computer screen,” Love said. “The images and all the artwork that we have around us changes based on our context, and that’s what I’m doing.”

On a corner by the bar there’s an herb garden that will grow some of the herbs that will be used in their drinks. Brummels said that the goal of Method Cycles & Craft House is to support the bike culture of Lincoln, especially through creating a place where a community can relax, grab a beer or work on a bike.

The chilly night I spent under a bridge
H
ave you ever taken anything for granted? Me too. That is, until the night I slept under a bridge. It was a junior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on a windy winter night. I walked back to my residential hall room, and I saw a footprint in the snow. Not a shoe print, mind you, but a foot! I could clearly make out the indent the toes, heel and arch had made in the snow, and I was struck by the realization that someone was walking around without shoes that frigid evening. Curious, I asked myself what it would be like to spend a night as a homeless man out in the cold. I decided that, in order to fully understand his position, I would sleep under a bridge. I shot a text to some friends, asking them to spend the night with me outside. The response was an overwhelming no, with more than one of them telling me I was crazy. Undeterred, I bundled up in both my winter jackets and a blanket and marched off on my own little adventure. I chose a bridge near the Bob Devaney Sports Center, found a crack that shielded me from the wind and laid down. By this point it was late, but I was too nervous to fall asleep on the hard ground. I was already feeling cold and dirty, and on top of that, I started to feel increasingly unsafe. I worried some homeless person had already claimed my spot and would return to chase me away. I imagined being robbed and injured without anyone really knowing where I was. Also, I didn’t realize beforehand that my new roof was actually a train bridge. Every 20 minutes or so after I’d dozed off to sleep, I was rudely awakened by the sound of a train thundering across the tracks just feet above my head. Each time I woke, I was terrified for my life and felt alone. Needless to say, I didn’t sleep very well. By dawn I was exhausted physically, mental-
ly and emotionally, and I made my way back to my dorm for a hot shower before skipping my morning class to actually get some sleep. One night shaped my life dramatically, and it made me realize that I had been taking much of my life for granted. So back to my initial question. Have you taken anything for granted? How about your warm, safe, clean and comfortable bed? Perhaps family, friends, faith, football, food? Have you ever not properly appreciated someone or something because its presence has become commonplace in your life? How about education? Do teachers, classes, projects or even homework go unappreciated? How about the whole college experience? As a whole, have we been grateful for the privilege of a four-year degree, or has it turned into something we take for granted? I walked away from that bridge scared, but I wasn’t scared for my life as much as I was scared there were other areas in my life I stopped being grateful for. I realized my college career turned into something I took as a given. I treated it like something I deserved and not something I had to earn. That night helped me realize my education was not promised to me, and a possible alternative was not one I could live with. It also opened my eyes to see many of my peers were living the same way: skipping classes to play video games in their dorms; working on how fast they could chug a can of beer instead of attending their professor ’s office hours; paying hundreds of dollars for textbooks they open just a couple hours before their exams. The list goes on. From that point on, I’ve worked to be grateful, and it has been hard work because I had become so complacent. As I strove not to take things for granted, my college experience became more enjoyable. My GPA rose. My friendships grew deeper, and my overall outlook on life became much more positive. I share this so others can benefit from my experience. Start with being grateful for your

Physical traits cannot really define race
H
ere we go again. “Check all that apply.” On any survey, application or form we are all asked the same question: to select our race or ethnicity. Although this may be effortless for some, it can be problematic, especially for someone like me : someone with a “different” face, hair and skin. All my life I have been classified as a minority, and people have always been so curious in defining me. Frequently I am asked questions, as many
other people in a similar situation are: Where are you from? “Here, in Nebraska.” Where were you born? “Hastings, Nebraska.” What are you? “I’m mostly white. My mom is white, and my father is mixed with white and black. But there is probably some other stuff too.” When I give them answers, they don’t seem satisfied, like they were expecting more from me. But this is all I have to answer. I try to explain further by talking about my
younger brother who is fair skinned with hazel eyes and wavy brown hair. I feel that if I looked more like him, I wouldn’t be troubled by such situations. I was raised by my mother and her family, and only because of my physical traits am I asked questions and categorized. I was born in the smaller town of Hastings. A majority of my youth was spent here, but I moved between cities as well. At a young age, I wasn’t aware I was being categorized. The earliest I remember was my first day at a new school in second grade. I
was approached by someone from my class speaking Spanish to me; she had assumed I was Hispanic. For a couple years after that, I encountered similar situations. Once I hit middle school and high school I became black. When I transferred from Hastings High School to Lincoln North Star, my identity shifted. There was a larger African-American community. My closer friends were categorized as African-American and African. They jok-

Not all millennials are young Democrats Jennifer Rooney
E
very video, quote, piece of fact checking evidence and rant shared across social media relating to the presidential election is frustrating. But the part that makes me cringe the most is when these videos start with “Dear Millennials.” I consider myself a Republican with a few different social issue opinions. Some of the news outlets, political analysts and journalists I follow are more conservative than others. Some of these journalists believe the majority of millennials consider themselves Democrats or liberals. These outlets try to address issues to this “new” demographic to gain their vote. But they don’t realize by opening their statements with “Dear Millennials,” classifying all millennials as Democrats or liberals,
they anger the unacknowledged young Republicans as much as the young Democrats they belittle. News flash political analysts: not all millennials are Democrats. As young Republicans, we’re considered less conservative than our parents; you have to realize that it’s 2016. We’ve learned that we want equal opportunity, no matter our gender, sex, ethnicity or race. However, we’re still Republicans. We still believe nothing is free and that you work for what you get in life. There have been good Republican candidates in the past, but the way one candidate is sweeping the polls right now is causing some young Republicans to lose hope in the GOP. Some of us are just accepting the fact Donald Trump is beating the other, better, Republican candidates. Trump and his proposals are turning our heads away from the GOP. Republicans need to find a better way to engage millennials by not grouping all of us together and by focusing more on the other Republican candidates who have similar opinions to us and less extreme proposals. One example of a Republican candidate who appealed to young Republican voters was Marco Rubio. He cared about our vote and didn’t put us down, but unfortunately he
ended his campaign. The percentage of young Republican voters hasn’t always been as low as it is today. According to an article titled, “The GOP Is Letting Millennials Slip Away” in RealClear Politics, Ronald Reagan won the 18–29 year olds by more than 20 percentage points in both of the 1980 and 1984 elections; so did Richard Nixon in the 1972 election. The reason there may be less Republican voters this year is because of the extreme proposals Trump is supporting. There are young Trump supporters, but many of my conservative friends have said they’d rather vote for a Democratic candidate than Trump. Today, Republican millennials are becoming more diverse than ever, and the rest of the world needs to accept that. For example, some of us may not agree with building a wall to stop immigration, but we are still against Obamacare. Millennials are now the largest generation, overtaking baby boomers and generation X, according to an article titled, “Hey, GOP, Here’s Why Millennials Hate Us” in The Daily Beast. Millennials could define the way the election will go. If you want to get our vote, stop talking down to us like we don’t understand politics and start trying to get our vote; this is how Bernie Sanders is succeeding. A lot of us
are in college or have had some type of education in the past, and we’ve learned what our beliefs, views, morals and opinions are. We’re old enough to know how the world works and why we like a specific candidate; it’s not just because our parents support that candidate anymore. If these Republican and conservative news outlets, political analysts and journalists start treating younger voters like their vote actually matters, then the GOP could see a higher average turnout for these Republican candidates. Young Republicans are still here, but we’re angry we’re being grouped with young Democrats, who are being disparaged. No matter if millennials are Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Independent or any other political view, they should all be treated as if their vote matters to this election. Keep in mind, it’s some of these millennials’ first year voting for the presidential election, and they’ll do whatever they can to get their candidate in office.

Stay safe out there, all you Spring Breakers
M
arch 18 is the last day of class before Spring Break for students. I’m sure everyone can agree classes started to suck weeks ago. This break is well needed. As soon as I complete my last midterm and finish some stupid online homework, I’m out. But before we all start “relaxing” next week, don’t forget you need to make it through Spring Break week alive. Spring Break for college students can be broken down in three options: Spring Break with the parents, Spring Break in the mountains or Spring Break on the beach. If you are chilling at home for the week, you have absolutely no safety concerns. Your mom will probably catch up on your laundry while you catch up on sleep. I hope the end of your Netflix binge watching is exhilarating. If you are heading to a mountain to ski, don’t hit a tree. Walking with crutches on campus sucks. The third group is the one I belong in. If you’re making the week long migration to a far off, turnt up beach, this next week will be hype. I went to Panama City Beach, Florida last year. Because PCB outlawed drinking on sandy beaches this past offseason, I’m going to South Padre Island, Texas with a group of friends. Last year was a banger, and I can’t wait for this trip. But let’s not forget the significant dangers while we are partying like we’re on MTV over our homework-free holiday. A Spring Breaker drinks significantly more than the average college student. College stu-
dents average six drinks a week; students on Spring Break average 10 drinks a day. While on Spring Break it’s estimated that 44 percent of college females and 75 percent of males get wasted daily. That is some significant binge drinking. With days left before we all leave, it would be a waste of time to get all preachy. I’m sure you’ve already gotten that from your parents. Mine haven’t said anything yet, but I’m expecting a call minutes after this is published. However, simple precautions such as eating before drinking alcohol and drinking water while boozing in the hot sun are very practical suggestions. Counting drinks is another way that will hopefully slow up the binge drinking. Along with monitoring your drunken state, being sexually cautious is equally important. Around 30 percent of males and females have casual sex while on Spring Break. This doesn’t seem that high, but read on: according to a study 75 percent of males and 78 percent of females participating in sexual activities “rarely or never wore a condom.” Spring Break recoveries should not include an STD or a child. While latex and prayer might be helpful in prevention, abstinence for a week is the most effective precaution. Every year during Spring Break, there are a lot of reoccurring ways a few people die. Here are a some ways to ensure you make it back. First, don’t drunkenly fall off a balcony. It happened last year in both South Padre Island and Panama City Beach. In the past, students have also died from drinking excess alcohol. So back to my earlier point: avoid binge drinking.

Learning Commons needs healthier food options
I
f you go to the dining centers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, you can see how the university strives to make students eat healthy. They try to provide nutritious food and emphasize the importance of eating healthy. However, in the Learning Commons, which opened this semester, the only foods students can get are donuts, bananas and oranges from Dunkin’ Donuts, and beverages and snacks from vending machines. The Learning Commons is opened 24 hours a day, but there are only limited foods available. The vending machine has some sandwiches, but we need some better food. Students gather to study together, do group projects or work by themselves in the Learning Commons. During busy times of the semester, many students stay in the Learning Commons until late at night. They have a space to study, but they have to eat snacks or starve to stay in the Learning Commons. I was surprised when I saw 95 percent of the snacks in the vending machine were gone. Because of the limited food choices, students had to fill their stomachs with snacks. I even saw some students ordering pizza. If the university really cares about students’ health, Dunkin’ Donuts and vending machines shouldn’t be the only choices for this space. As one of the students who regularly stays up late in the Learning Commons, I can tell my story. This semester has been really busy and tough for me. I’ve been in the Learning Commons every day. Going there after my classes has become my routine because it takes a lot of time to go back to
my residence hall, eat and come back. I usually just stay in the Learning Commons. I’ve had to find things to eat, and the only restaurant available was Dunkin’ Donuts. For the first few days, it wasn’t so bad to eat donuts for several meals. However, after a week, I was sick of eating them. I tried to eat sandwiches from the vending machine, but it was difficult and didn’t seem good for my health. So as my last effort to stay in the Learning Commons as long as possible, I decided to pack my own meal. However, there’s no refrigerator, I couldn’t keep the food for a long time. I also didn’t want to bother other students with the smell, and it was hard for me to find a separate place to eat. The only foods without an odor I could eat were donuts, chips and food from the vending machine. After Dunkin’ Donuts’ open hours, the only option remaining was the vending machine. I’m especially worried about dead week and finals week. There will be a lot of students studying in the Learning Commons. They won’t have access to healthy food while they study there. If the university can’t make a huge change now, it can at least try to make some small changes. It can try to open Union restaurants or a dining center near the Learning Commons for late night meals. We already have Late Night Dining in Abel/Sandoz, so I think it’s doable. Having more variety in vending machine food might help, too. I really appreciate the university’s effort to provide better studying environments for students in UNL. Offering better food in the Learn-

Drug courts save mentally ill from prison system Riley Slezak
R
ight now the United States has more people in prison than any nation in the world. This statement may make it seem as if the U.S. has a crime problem larger than any other nation in the world, but I think it represents the case of a nation obsessed with punishing the mentally ill. Mentally ill may not be the first phrase that comes to mind when you think of someone serving time in prison for a drug-related offense, but quite often it is a more accurate description than “criminal.” The notion that substance abuse makes someone a criminal rather than sick has helped produce this massive incarceration rate. It has also caused many people to be treated as criminals when what they really need is treatment. Drug addiction does not make you a crimi-
nal. It does not make you a bad person, but it does mean you need help. Throwing people in prison and not trying to get to the root of their problem is the easy way out. The right way to deal with drug offenders is to get to the cause of the crime. Figuring out the causes of crime and using this to help prevent future crime is the best way to actually help the individual and society. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, drug addiction is a mental illness because, “Addiction changes the brain in fundamental ways, disturbing a person’s normal hierarchy of needs and desires.” It also says, “The resulting compulsive behaviors that override the ability to control impulses despite the consequences are similar to hallmarks of other mental illnesses.” The brains of people who are addicted to drugs have been changed; as a result, they may commit crimes that those not addicted to drugs would not. Their desire for the drug of their choice makes them lose sight of what’s right and wrong. Drugs affect can fundamentally change how people think and who they are. Non-violent, first-time drug offenders have no reason to be in a prison. Time and time again it’s been proven that putting such people in prison is costly, both financially for taxpayers and also for the individual’s quality of life.
However, there are alternatives that work for people with substance abuse problems. One alternative would be drug courts. Drug offenders can enroll in drug courts rather than going to prison. These courts have a minimum term of one year and provide participants with intensive treatment and regular, random drug tests. The drug court judges hold participants accountable for meeting their requirements, and participants can be rewarded for doing well. Currently, Nebraska has 14 adult drug courts, two juvenile drug courts, six family courts and one young adult court. Now LB919, a bill to create more of these “problem-solving courts,” has been advanced from its first round debate by a vote of 35-0. This expansion is exactly what drug offenders need as an alternative to incarceration. Drug courts are proven to be more effective for those with substance abuse. For example, 75 percent of drug court graduates aren’t arrested again for at least two years out of the program. It’s also been proven that people who go through drug courts are less likely to continue using drugs than those who go through the prison system. Not only are these programs good for those enrolled in them, they also save money. On average, for every dollar spent on drug courts,
taxpayers save up to $3.36 in potential criminal justice costs. They also produce savings from $3,000 to $13,000 per client for avoided prison costs and potential future arrests and trials. When people with substance abuse problems go to prison, they aren’t in an environment designed to promote healing and growth. Punishment isn’t what these people need, rehabilitation is. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 66.7 percent of drug offenders return to prison within three years of being released. This doesn’t sound much like rehabilitation. It sounds like a cycle that people with a mental illness are being caught in. Drug courts are a much more effective way to deal with drug offenders and those with substance abuse issues. Non-violent drug offenses aren’t criminal justice issues, they’re mental health issues. People with a mental illness who commit crimes don’t do it to be malicious, they commit them because they have an addiction. The idea of drug courts and rehabilitating offenders, rather than just throwing them in jail, is a step in the right direction. RILEY SLEZAK IS A SOPHOMORE JOURNALISM MAJOR.

TURNER: FROM 10 ingly called me “White Girl” because of my lighter skin and the way that I presented myself. When I came to college, my identity yet again shifted, as people began to group me with Indians. Growing up, I never felt like I had been targeted in any way, but I was naive to think I had never been discriminated against. I didn’t really think about my race and the effect these labels had on me until my junior year of college. I started to recognize the hesitation I always felt when selecting African-American. I despised when I was restricted to only one choice because I didn’t feel “African-American.” I felt like I had to choose between being African-American and being White. But the choice I wanted to make wasn’t available to me because of how I looked. My mother once said that if I was marked down as White and not African-American, no one would know what girl they were looking for. So each time I must select my ethnicity, I feel pressured to make sure I mark African-American. I shouldn’t and don’t want to feel this way. Recently in a class, we watched an HBO collection of perspectives from Asian-Americans about situations they have encountered and their feelings about them. Two stories stuck out to me the most. Paul and James are both what people would classify as Asian-Americans,
CASTNER: FROM 11 but they were adopted at a young age by White families and do not have any association with the cultural group that many categorize them in. Although I grew up as being mixed race and knew there were others who shared similar situations as myself, I never thought about what it would be like to have one classification but grow up in another. It is easy for people to simplify things like race and ethnicity. These terms mean different things to different people, but we are all guilty of categorizing others. We hold a notion that people should fit, by acting and looking, into the groups we have created. But it is not that simple. People should not feel forced to be one or the other. A lot of people are a lot of different things that cannot be simply grouped into Asian-American, Latin-American or African-American. Many people, including myself, do not want to define themselves with these labels. If we were finally able to choose a label, I suspect that many of us would simply select American.

Second, swimming in the ocean is stupid if you are hammered. Alcohol can impair perception and coordination, and drowning because you are too drunk to swim is a tough way to go. And last, if you have to be told not to drink and drive, you’re probably so stupid you can’t read these words. But people kill others while drinking and driving, which might be worse than killing yourself. While I might have buzz killed the excitement for your trip, I hope everyone has a memorable spring break. If you are staying at home,
I will be envious of the sleep you get. If you are going to the mountains, they’ll be cold, and you won’t get sunburned, so have fun. The beach will be hype. After a week, I hope to see everyone back in class alive. NICK CASTNER IS A SOPHOMORE MARKETING MAJOR. REACH HIM AT OPINION@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM OR VIA @ DNOPINION.
