LETTER FROM THE EDITOR If that “Damn Daniel” video going viral didn’t sell you enough, here’s proof that the Internet is the weirdest place to ever exist: Last week, despite producing exactly zero pieces of new content over spring break, dailynebraskan.com generated the second most clicks of the semester because of, yes, a 2003 Daily Nebraskan story about fox urine. Naturally. The story, with the headline “Fox urine spray thwarts tree thefts,” details the practice of spraying fox urine on pine and spruce trees in the winter so when thieves take the tree and put it in their house to avoid buying a Christmas tree, the stench of the pee fills the house. The story quoted UNL landscaping services and, on its face, is generally hilarious. So Reddit.com user “yogocoyote” somehow found this article in the bowels of the DN archives last week and posted the link under the TodayILearned subreddit on the website. In four hours, the post was upvoted to the front page, for millions of viewers to see, and that’s when the texts came rolling in. “Chris - check Reddit.” “DN is on Reddit right now?” “Hey what’s with the DN story on Reddit?” I checked. I laughed. Then, I looked our web traffic. In about five hours, 17,000 people had read the story. By the end of the day, that number would read more than 45,000. As excited as I was, there was a part of me that was actually a little upset with the exposure, which is kind of a mortal sin for an editor to say. Here’s the thing: I get that the news industry thirsts for clicks. I’d be lying if I said we don’t think about our web traffic often. Heck, we have a sheet of weekly goals hung up in the middle of the newsroom and check our web numbers every day in our daily budget meeting. But I’ve always told reporters and editors that we shouldn’t chase clicks. I don’t think newspapers need an overtly relatable headline and .gif of a dog slipped into a story to survive. They need good storytelling and decent overall content. Consistently good content will drive clicks. That’s the general song I preach down in the DN.

But this fox urine thing kind of proved me wrong. There are plenty of stories we’ve covered this year that I thought would blow up or garner national attention. Especially the story of this guy who looks like Bernie Sanders. But fox urine? Are you kidding? There are two ways of looking at this. This semester, we’re a little behind in traffic compared to last semester, and now, we’re back on track. Which is great. But the other side of that coin is now, every day, we’ll be consistently reminded that no matter what happens, a fluke 2003 story from our archive will overshadow every other story we write. It feels like we inadvertently cheated the system. And to be completely happy about something like that just kind of smells funny to me.

Grad student served as translator in military STAFF DN

After witnessing the American troops struggle to communicate with the Iraqi people following the U.S. military invasion of Iraq in 2003, Abdulameer Waly became a translator for the U.S. military. “The Thursday they entered my city, the second day I became a translator because they were in need of translators,” Waly said. “They had no way to communicate with the people. I presented myself, and they told me that they were going to give me a job as a translator.” Waly worked as a translator for a total of five tours from 2003 to 2008. After his fifth year as a translator, he came to the U.S. as an immigrant. Waly is now in his last year of graduate school at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He also is the teacher’s assistant for Arabic classes. Waly began studying English in his fifth year of elementary school in Iraq. “When I was in Iraq, I loved the English language. At that point, I only had a textbook, (and) there was no Internet,” Waly said. “We were not able to get access to the TV channels.

The only way to learn English was to study the textbook.” Once a week, Waly and other students watched an American movie to help improve their speaking skills. Waly attended the college of languages in Baghdad. “They told me that the English Language program was full (but) that I could choose another language,” he said. Waly graduated with a major in French and a minor in English. “I applied for a master’s degree at UNL for the French department because I studied that for my master’s degree in Iraq,” Waly said. “I want to get a higher degree and then go back to Iraq to be a teacher.” Before the rise of the Islamic State, Waly planned on returning to Iraq to find a job. After Waly finishes his graduate degree, he plans on staying in the U.S. Waly said he is planning to start compiling stories of what he witnessed during his years as a translator with the U.S. Army in Iraq.

Part-timers 73 percent of faculty hired since ‘93 UNL employs part-time faculty at a lower rate than the national average, but more faculty work part time at UNL now than in 1993. MATT HANSON FOR THE DN Dalton Andrews loses track of how many jobs he holds in a year. About eight, he estimates, adding, “that’s maybe exaggerating, maybe not.” In the summer, he umpires Little League Baseball. During the school year, he substitutes at various high schools in the Lincoln Public School district. But those are just ancillary jobs that he works to support his primary occupation: teaching part time at three different colleges, including the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. When Andrews first embarked on a career in higher education, he hoped to find the financial and employment stability traditionally enjoyed by U.S. college professors. That stability has so far eluded him. After a decade in academia, Andrews still hasn’t found a full-time teaching position, and if it wasn’t for his wife’s salary as an attorney, the UNL instructor would work up to eight jobs a year and still make less than $40,000 a year. Andrews, who declined to give his real name for this article for fear that doing so could risk the renewal of his annual teaching contract with UNL, isn’t alone in his struggles to find full-time employment as a college professor. As the hiring practices at many U.S. colleges and universities have shifted away from full-time, tenure-track faculty employment and toward part-time appointments, it has become both easier to become a college professor and harder to make a living as one. According to 2011 data from the U.S. Department of Education, 51 percent of all college professors in the U.S. were part-time faculty – a sharp increase, given the low turnover rate in higher education, from 40 percent in 1993 and 30 percent in 1975. In that same period, full-time tenured and tenuretrack faculty employment at U.S. colleges fell from 57 percent of all faculty to just 30 percent. At the same time, this rise in part-time faculty appointments and the fall in full-time tenured appointments has pushed many U.S. college professors to the brink of poverty: according to data from the American Community Survey, 31 percent of part-time faculty in the United States live near or below the federal poverty line. “It’s getting harder,” UNL journalism professor and Faculty Senate President John Bender said. “Increasingly, the jobs for new Ph.D.s are not in academia. They’re in private industry.” At UNL, the proportion of faculty that work part time is much lower than the national average, with just 21 percent of the school’s faculty listed as part time in the most recent data published by UNL’s Office of Institutional Research, Analytics and Decision Support. However, an analysis of

GRAPHICS BY MICHAEL JOHNSON | DN 22 years of UNL faculty employment data provided by IRADS found that 73 percent of all new faculty positions added since 1993 went to part-time employees, with just 37 of the 140 additional faculty positions in that time going to full-time faculty. In just over two decades, the proportion of UNL faculty working part time went from 16 percent of all faculty to 21 percent.

While UNL Associate Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs Lance Perez conceded that the university had added part-time faculty positions faster than full-time positions over the past two decades, he contended that UNL relied less on part-time appointments than many of its peer institutions. “We are lower on the scale,” Perez said. “If you pull data from large research univer-

sities across the United States, you’ll see that most institutions are hiring far more parttime faculty as a percentage of total faculty than we are.” According to Bender, the rise in part-time faculty appointments relative to full-time appointments was precipitated by two other long-run trends in higher education. “There is an increasing emphasis on research – bringing in grant money, conducting research, publishing research – which takes away time (and resources) from teaching,” Bender said. “Along with that is increasing specialization, particularly in the hard sciences. You don’t have people who just teach biology; you have people who teach microbiology, and there probably aren’t that many students in that one area. But they have to do the research, and meanwhile you have to have these more general classes that have to be taught, so a lot of the slack is taken up by part-time faculty.” For Perez, part-time hiring represents an important tool for universities struggling to prepare their graduates for an increasingly dynamic economy. In the new global, interconnected economy, new skills and competencies come in demand faster than ever before – faster, Perez said, than universities can adapt to within their traditional structure of tenured faculty employment. “I think that the changing economy and the changing workforce needs – and therefore the needs of our students – require an agility and an ability to respond that’s not consistent with the traditional full-time and tenure-track faculty,” Perez said. “Part-time faculty are a great way to fill those shortterm needs.” With a low turnover rate driven by tenure and budget constraints and few opportunities to add new faculty positions, Perez said UNL and its peers have increasingly turned to part-time appointments to adapt on the fly. He offered the situation in the Middle East as an example of the benefits of this approach. “We have Iraq come up,” he said. “ISIS. Al Qaeda. Suddenly Arabic becomes in high demand, and it’s important to our students. Well, we don’t have the time or resources to build a department of Arabic, right? So we need to bring in some expertise in that area. The best way to do that is to hire part-time expertise in that area, and then to start assessing need to determine whether it does justify a longer-term commitment.” While this emphasis on part-time faculty appointments might work for universities who are trying to adapt to the demands of an ever-changing workforce, it doesn’t always work for those who actually teach in college. For some part-time professors, such as advertising instructor Nick Goodwin, who owns a consulting firm and has most of his financial needs met by his business, teaching on a class-by-class basis doesn’t break the bank. But others aren’t so lucky. “Here in journalism, we have a number of part-time faculty who teach advertising or (public relations), but those people are working in those industries,” Bender said. “They’re not dependent on that teaching job for a living. But you take an area like history or anthropology (where) there’s no history industry or anthropology industry. There’s

Defending against sexual assault on campus Inspired by an Iowa student’s project, a UNL student wants to help protect women on campus from sex assault. LINDSAY ESPARRAGO DN Carleen Glenn approached 50 women throughout the Nebraska City Union with a little bit of nervousness, a whole lot of determination and one question: “Do you carry a self-defense weapon?” The sophomore advertising and public relations major walked up to students oneby-one for a couple of hours on a Thursday afternoon, asking if they had weapons on them. Of the 50 women she approached, 33 said they carried weapons regularly and 15 had the weapons on them at the time. She then snapped a photo of each woman showing off her weapon – keys, pepper spray, tasers and cat-shaped key chains with sharp-edged ears were among the weapons. Her inspiration to dive into self-defense weapons came from a photo project called “Guarded” by Taylor Yocum, an art student at the University of Iowa. The project displays images of women with self-defense weapons showing how “on guard” women are forced to be – the reality of being a woman. It received national attention last May and since then, Yocum has turned the project into presentations for campuses across the nation. “I saw that, and I thought, ‘this is really powerful,’” Glenn said. “But I thought it would be more powerful if I used the faces of my own campus. The more familiar the faces, the more it impacts you.” She set out to prove a point on her own campus. National Title IX website statistics suggest one in five women will be sexually assaulted in college. But Glenn wanted to go beyond the photos and the nationwide numbers to “make it more real” for those who don’t realize that attacks happen on the Uni-

versity of Nebraska-Lincoln campus. So she conducted an online survey for women who have self-defense weapons. Between 60 and 70 students responded. The survey asked for the reason behind having a self-defense weapon, and whether they think UNL is good at teaching about sexual assault – 50 percent of the respondents said “no.” Most said the weapons were there to make them feel safe, and 21 percent of them said they had been sexually assaulted. She said part of the problem includes the statistics she thinks are often overlooked, such as 90 percent of perpetrators of sexual assault are not strangers – but someone the victim knows, according to the Title IX website. Glenn came to one conclusion: Pepper spray isn’t cutting it. No defense weapons are. “We’re not going to have our pepper spray ready in those types of situations,” she said. “This was a way to look at it from the bystander ’s perspective. We try to teach men about consent and teach women to defend themselves, but it’s never anyone else’s problem.” Her passion for spreading awareness and taking action didn’t start with the “Guarded” project, but from her own experience. Glenn was sexually assaulted her freshman year. It was then she realized the importance of bystanders taking charge. “I thought about why I would have weapons on me at that point,” Glenn said. “It’s sort of ridiculous.” This encouraged Glenn to enter what she calls “mom mode” when out at night or at parties – something she believes everyone should be doing. “People are very selfish at parties,” she said. “They don’t care as long as they’re having fun. But if you see someone looking too drunk, ready to go home with someone, ask if they’re sure they’re OK. It’s so easy.” Samee Callahan, a senior advertising and public relations and art major, has supported Glenn’s idea since she pitched it for a zine for 3 Percent UNL, an organization that looks to balance a gender gap in advertising. Callahan is co-president of the club. The zine will include work from UNL students that contains feminist roots and empowers women.

It’s expected to be published and be available for free to students in May. “It’s a different take on self-defense weapons,” Callahan said. “Usually when you think about self-defense weapons, you think about the person as a victim, but she put a spin on it. It’s not just about victims, but about bystanders intervening.” Callahan said she was not surprised, but impressed with the project’s response. Glenn’s blog post currently has 60 shares on Facebook. “It just goes to show when you give women a platform to say what they want and be creative, it matters and it makes a difference,” Callahan said. While she believes UNL is making strides toward properly educating students about issues surrounding rape culture and sexual harassment, she thinks education takes priority over students even step on campus.” A UNL spokesperson could not be

reached for comment. “The Title IX test we’re supposed to take at the beginning of the year is important, but we don’t see it on our own campus,” Callahan said. “It’s just a silly test that means nothing for some. And I agree with Carleen – weapons aren’t cutting it. It’s education, and it has to start young.” It’s concepts like “no means no” and “you don’t owe anyone anything” that Callahan said are important for people to understand. Glenn is hopeful that her project contributes to that education on campus to help keep her fellow students safe. “Even if just one person reads my post, I think it is kind of on me,” Glenn said. “Maybe next time, they will step in and take action. There’s a chance of making a difference.”

at this point. The (full-time faculty employment) numbers are tough. So many people are going after one thing.” There’s still some hope for Andrews and other part-time professors who are looking to make the leap to full time without physically moving themselves and their families to a new place. Although institutions of higher education are not structured to allow for internal promotion of any sort, there are opportunities for part-time faculty to get full-time positions at the same universities they’ve worked at. And while such opportunities are rare, and stories of professors successfully moving from part time to full time within the same college are rarer still, such transitions are not without precedent at UNL. Biology professor of practice and Faculty

Senate President-elect David Woodman made the leap from part-time professor at UNL to full-time professor of practice several years ago. When he started at UNL, Woodman had to work at a grocery store to supplement his teaching career; in April, he will become the first non-tenured faculty member to serve as Faculty Senate President. Now a firm advocate for part-time faculty on campus, Woodman believes full-time appointments, or at least longer contracts for part-time appointments, are necessary for the quality of education UNL aims to provide. “All of our teaching evolves,” Woodman said. “As you offer a course over (several) semesters, you have time to think about things and improve things. But if you don’t know if you’re gonna be back, there’s no real mo-

tivation toward doing anything but the bare minimum.” Success stories like Woodman’s set a precedent Andrews still hopes he can follow someday. Until he does, however, Andrews says he’ll keep teaching part time, and will continue working whatever odd jobs he can find to support his passion for teaching. Whatever it takes to do what he loves, he says. “If you like something and you’re pretty good at it, you can make a living,” Andrews said. “You hope to, at least.”

PART-TIME FACULTY: FROM 5 nothing they can do but teach. If they’re doing that part time, that’s where you’re probably going to find people who are putting together these careers, if you want to call them that, of teaching part time in three or four different places at the same time.” Andrews is one of those people teaching part time in multiple places at once. He’d like to change that, of course, but moving from part time to full time in higher education is a difficult leap to make, especially for a family man with strong ties to the area in which he’s lived for much of his life. “My wife has a good job here in Lincoln. My kids are in school. I don’t really want to leave,” Andrews said. “Once in awhile, something in the area will open up, and I’ll try to do that. I have attempted, but it hasn’t worked out

Tractor test lab unique, nationally significant ELIZABETH REMBERT DN

University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s East Campus boasts the Dairy Store, the Lanes N’ Games bowling alley and the only university tractor testing facilities in North America. The test lab and track were established in 1919, after Wilmot Crozier, an Osceola farmer and congressman, bought a Ford tractor that didn’t live up to its advertised claims. The advertisements had overexaggerated the machine’s horsepower. Determined that no other farmer should fall to such disappointment, Crozier worked with other state senators to pass the Nebraska Tractor Test Act in 1919. The law requires all tractors sold in Nebraska to be tested through the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory on East Campus. Roger Hoy, director of the Nebraska Test Laboratory, said the law was the foundation of the testing facilities. “The senators and the university worked together to make sure there would be a place to test the tractors,” he said. A harsh winter in 1919 delayed the facility’s first successful test until 1920. It is known as the world’s first tractor test lab. With the test track and indoor testing facilities, Hoy said the lab performs three tests: power, sound and a 3-point lift test. If the machine lives up to the claims made by companies, the tractor is given approval by the Nebraska Test Lab. Hoy said the lab’s approval carries a lot of weight in advertising. “Some companies test their tractors knowing they’ll pass. They just want their machine to have our approval,” Hoy said. John Hansen, president of the Nebraska Farm-

ers Union, said the need for the tractor test lab continues today. “There tends to be wild claims made about the performance of tractor engines and how much horsepower they have and all those kinds of things,” he said. “There is a lot of advertising and misinformation that farmers really struggle with, and looking at these test results is really helpful for people who live off the land.” Hansen said he consulted the test lab’s results when he bought his first tractor in 1973. Hoy said the test lab is still nationally significant to the farm equipment industry. “It has become the basis for not only Nebraska farmers, but also for farmers all over the nation,” Hansen said. “It helps (people) make better buying decisions and is a tremendous service to agriculture.” As the union president, Hansen said he meets farmers from all over the country, and the test lab often comes up in conversation. “In addition to football, the test lab is what the university is known for,” Hansen said. The test lab also has significance to the people working there. The lab employs part-time student workers, and the experience the students gain by working there is invaluable, Hoy said. All of his workers have summer internships planned, and the graduating students have jobs lined up. “I’ve even had people call me to ask if I have any more students looking for jobs or internships,” Hoy said. Hansen agreed. “The lab enhances the engineering program, and it’s an important part of their learning and provides a lot of their benefits,” he said. But lessons on the tractor test lab don’t always go according to plan, Hoy said. He talked about one

BOWDEN: Keep focus on 2016 season RILEY BOWDEN DN

I became an uncle last May. This weekend, I watched my nearly 10-month-old nephew take two and a half steps all by himself. Why should you care? First, babies are a lot cooler than people my age give them credit for, but

more importantly, my nephew provides a perfect metaphor for the state of Nebraska football. At the end of December we watched Nebraska take a couple of its first steps in the Mike Riley era. That, of course, happened when the Huskers took care of UCLA in the Foster Farms Bowl. The Huskers outgained UCLA on the ground 326-67, tallied

31 first downs and were as dominant on the line of scrimmage as they were the entire year. Nebraska grew a lot in its first season under Riley. The staff has also managed to roll over the excitement from its first spring into its second. This year, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just the novelty that is making spring exciting. There is substance to it in 2016.

When Keyshawn Johnson Jr. committed to Nebraska last week, the second four-star receiver to commit in the class of 2017, everyone started drooling over what the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future could hold. Rightfully so. The prospect of finally signing a top

NU softball player faces sister in tournament BECCA MANN DN The longest Nebraska softball road trip in nearly two years began for the Huskers last weekend in Fullerton, California, for Cal State’s Easton Tournament. From March 18 through March 20, the tournament brought in teams from all over the country. Then No. 23 Nebraska squared off against New Mexico, UNLV, Arkansas, No. 13 Oklahoma and DePaul. Although Nebraska finished the tournament only 3-2, the weekend gave the team a chance to meet up with familiar faces.

Fullerton is a familiar area for four Huskers who hail from California. Freshman Bri Cassidy, junior MJ Knighten and seniors Dawna Tyson and Emily Lockman all played for the Corona Angels softball league before committing to Nebraska. “I support them and they support me,” Knighten said. “They’re my fall back, and it’s just great to have those people you’ve known for so long be there for the last four years of your softball career.” Being nearly 1,500 miles from home, Knighten relies on her teammates for support when she can’t be with her family. Her parents and siblings don’t get many chances

to see her play, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t involved. “My mom always texts me every time before a game asking me how many hits I’m going to get; it’s part of a ritual we have,” Knighten said. “And my dad’s always in my corner. They’re always keeping in touch and watching me no matter what.” Last weekend’s tournament presented a much different story. For Knighten, the Cal State campus, where the Easton Tournament was played, is less than 10 minutes from her hometown, Buena Park. “On Sunday, the whole family was there supporting us,” Knighten said. “Seeing my

family is just a great experience. I never get to see them once conference games start since we’re always on the road.” The tournament brought out familiar faces to support the Huskers, but an even stronger connection emerged on the field. On the final day of the tournament, the Huskers played Oklahoma and for the first time in her career Knighten matched up with her younger sister Shay, a starting freshman for the Sooners. Both sisters grew up playing the sport and looked to their father, a former USC and minor league baseball player, for coaching advice. For the Knighten’s, the desire to be

Although the sisters now play on different teams, their re-

DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM lationship hasn’t faltered. “Even though we are on different teams, it was great to be able to share that connection with her,” Knighten said. “It’s a great feeling and I love the relationship that we have.” Both MJ and Shay earned one run during their time together on the diamond, but the Huskers were unable to upset Oklahoma,

falling 4-2. Nebraska finished out the weekend with a win against DePaul before finishing the road trip in Illinois. The Huskers are now 19-11, having dropped to No. 24 in the national rankings. Ranking second nationally with 15 home runs and leading the team with a .429 batting average, Knighten is looking forward to a successful remainder of her junior season.

“We’re focusing more on coming together as a team and having good support and trust between each other,” Knighten said. “We just know that we can be better and we will be better when the time comes.”

Yori welcomes former teammate in NIT matchup SETH OLSON DN It’s the Women’s NIT Tournament and Huskers are hosting Northern Iowa in the opening round. One loss and they’re done for the season. But that didn’t stop coach Connie Yori from going over to the opposing bench to welcome her old friend, Tanya Warren. A big grin came on Yori’s face as she greeted the Northern Iowa coach, who’s a former teammate of hers when they played at Creighton in the 1980s. The Nebraska coach threw her arms up in the air and embraced Warren. The joy expressed on their faces was enough to hide the dismay of each team’s current situation. “It’s always good to see Connie (Yori),” Warren said. “We’ve known each other since we were 8 or 9 years old. So we’ve been friends for a long, long time. So it’s always a pleasure to see her.” It was just minutes before tip-off and the brief chat the two friends shared was just what they both needed after a tiresome season that didn’t go as planned. Northern Iowa fell just short of the NCAA tournament, after losing to Missouri State in the Missouri Valley Conference championship game. The loss cost the Panthers an automatic bid to the big dance, having to settle instead for the NIT. Nebraska, meanwhile, had just wrapped up one of the most bizarre seasons in recent memory. It was the first time in five seasons the Huskers had failed to make the NCAA tournament. Dealing with multiple injuries to star players throughout the course of the season, Nebraska failed to ever get its mojo together consistently. Rarely did the Huskers ever have their big three—senior point guard Rachel Theriot, sophomore shooting guard Natalie Romeo and freshman forward Jessica Shepard—all on the court together and healthy at the same time. And even when the trio was together, they were never all 100 percent. In addition, many other role players for the Huskers suffered their own fair share of injuries. The health of the team ended up costing the Huskers as the season unfolded, keeping the team from reaching its goals. As exhausting as the season was for Nebraska, it was nice for coach Yori to see a familiar face at the end of the road, one that understood what she was going through. “We were talking about our teams, with the injuries and the seasons we’ve both had,” Warren said. “Obviously, injuries play an important part and they’ve been hit with the injury bug—bad.” Like any old friend keeps track of the other, so do Yori and Warren, as they keeping tabs on each other ’s teams.

PHOTO BY ZACH HENKE | DN The proximity of their teams has helped them do so over the years with Yori having been at Nebraska since 2002 and at Creighton for the 10 years before that. Meanwhile, Warren has spent the last nine years leading UNI. Before that, she had coaching stints elsewhere in the region at Creighton, Missouri and Iowa State. But long before that, Yori and Warren were college teammates at Creighton in the mid-1980s and remain the only two players in program history to have the jerseys retired. “Well just let me say this: she got me a lot of assists,” Warren laughed. Warren left Creighton with the school record for career assists with 650. Many of those assists came from Yori knocking down

shots, as the Huskers’ coach scored 2,010 points (third in program history) during her four year career, averaging 20.3 points per game (first in program history) for the Bluejays. The basketball lore has followed the two friends well into their coaching careers, but the basketball stardom all began when they were teenagers growing up together near Des Moines, Iowa. “Tanya (Warren) and I go so far back. It’s almost hard to think back that far—literally to our junior high years,” Yori said. “And she hasn’t changed a lot since then. She looks exactly the same. Her waist line—I mean if only I could have that waist line at my age—but she looks pretty much the same as she did

when she was 13 years old.” There was always room for jokes and a good laugh in their friendship. And although their teams change periodically over the years, the two have never lost sight of what it takes to lead a collegiate basketball program, and to do so with continual success. “She does a great job and they (the Huskers) are extremely well-coached,” Warren said. “I couldn’t be happier and more proud of Connie and the job she has done since she’s been here at Nebraska.” SPORTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Huskers open conference season with sweep DAVID STOVER DN

It was a successful break for the Nebraska baseball team, as the Huskers won all five road games in Indiana, including two against Indiana State and three against Purdue. The three-game sweep of the Boilermakers over the weekend in the conference opener pushed the Huskers winning streak to seven games. Game 1 On Friday, March 25 Nebraska defeated Pur-

due in its Big Ten opener, 9-5. Nebraska’s bats remained hot, tallying 16 hits as everyone in the starting lineup had at least one hit with the exception of third baseman Jake Placzek. Purdue’s starting pitcher Mike Lutz struggled, giving up six earned runs on 14 hits in 4.2 innings. Infielder Luis Alvarado began the Huskers’ scoring sequence with a one-out double in the second inning. Second baseman Jake Schleppenbach hit a double, scoring Alvarado, before scoring on

shortstop Steven Reveles single the next at-bat. The Huskers added to their lead in the third inning. Placzek began the sequence by reaching base on an error and eventually advanced to third base after first baseman Ben Miller’s double, putting the two in scoring position. Designated hitter Scott Schreiber hit an RBI single to centerfield, scoring Placzek. Miller later scored on right fielder Jake Meyer’s RBI single. Purdue responded in the bottom half of the inning with 2 runs, cutting the deficit to three.

Reveles and Boldt began the fourth inning with back-to-back singles, setting up Miller for an opportunity to hit an RBI single. Purdue earned another two runs in the bottom of the fifth, and carried over their efforts into the sixth. Nebraska’s starting pitcher Derek Burkamper went 5.1 innings, and gave up four earned runs.

NU wins 1 of 3 in first conference series ROSS MILLER DN After weather took it’s toll on the Nebraska softball team’s game against Iowa State last Wednesday, the Huskers (19-11) made the trip to Champaign to take on Illinois (21-10). Nebraska dropped two games on Sunday, losing the series to kick off the Big Ten season. Nebraska got the weekend started off on the right foot, defeating the Fighting Illini 10-2 in five innings. An eight run second inning was the highlight in the Huskers 19th win of the year. Alyvia Simmons three-run home run in the second inning broke the game open. After the win on Friday, the Huskers failed to keep the momentum headed into Saturday. Illinois pitcher Breanna Wonderly threw all 13 innings on Saturday, and neutralized the Huskers. Illinois won both games on Saturday, 8-3 and 10-2. Although Nebraska lost the series to Illinois, coach Rhonda Revelle said the important thing is how her team responds to the losses both mentally and physically. “All the coaches and players need to look what we can do to get better,” Revelle said. A bright spot for Nebraska came on Friday, however. An unexpected performance by freshman Simmons was exactly what the Huskers needed. She had both of her hits in the second inning, one being the three-run blast. Simmons only had three runs batted in on the year, she doubled that with her one swing in the second frame. Nebraska went on to score eight runs in the inning and opened up the game 9-0. The Huskers scored again in the third inning to go up 10-0, and won the game by a final of 10-2 in five innings. While scoring the 10 runs on Friday, Nebraska only mustered eight hits and benefited by two errors from the Illini. Cassie McClure picked up her 11th win on the year on Friday and moved the Huskers to 19-9 on the year. The first Big Ten series of the year for both teams resumed on Saturday at 1 p.m. Illinois jumped out early on the Huskers 2-0, before Nebraska tied up the game 2-2 in the third. The game remained close through five innings, before Nicole Evans hit a grand slam for the Illini before they added another run on an RBI triple to put Illinois up 8-3. That lead held through the top of the seventh and Illinois bumped its record to 20-10 on the year. Illinois had plenty of help from the first two hitters in their lineup, Carly Thomas and Alyssa

Hunter. Thomas and Hunter were a combined 6-7 in the first game. Nebraska struggled in the rubber match of the series, despite holding the lead for half of the game. Leading 2-0 heading into the bottom of the fourth inning, the Huskers could not hang onto the lead for any longer. Illinois exploded for six hits in the inning, including two doubles and a two run homer by

Ruby Rivera to put the game 4-2 in the Illini’s favor. The hole deepened for Nebraska in the fifth inning as McClure gave up back-to-back homers to put Illinois ahead 6-2. When Illinois added four more runs in the bottom of the sixth, the Illini run-ruled Nebraska, 10-2. This was only the second time all year Nebraska was run-ruled, the other coming against the top ranked Florida Gators.

“As a coaching staff we do whatever we can, in our power, to keep our team mentally tough and stay mentally tough,” Revelle said. “So we just need to respond.” Nebraska will get that chance Tuesday, March 29 at Bowlin Stadium against South Dakota State. First pitch will be at 6 p.m.

Nebraska is returning a solid core of skill position starters from last year on the offensive side of the ball. The linebackers went from unstable last spring to one of the most intriguing crews in the Big Ten this spring. But outside of that, 2016 is a pretty big question mark for the Huskers. The offensive line will look almost entirely new in 2016, the secondary still has something to prove and the defensive line needs new faces to step up. All of those question marks could no doubt get positive answers in 2016. Nebraska is going to have to fight again this year, though. If this spring has proven anything, it is that this team has a far better idea of its identity. They

aren’t fielding questions about building continuity anymore. The questions have shifted to what are you doing that is going to make this year less heartbreaking. Guys like quarterback Tommy Armstrong want to prove what they can do for the program now, not what it is going to look like when he is gone. This spring, the Nebraska football team is dedicating itself to looking like a team that is on the same page. They expect better and so should fans. Better in 2016 is based on what the football team has, not what it could have in the future. Expect less heartbreak in 2016. Expect a tightening of loose screws. Expect growth in the win col-

umn, but don’t expect it to be exponential. My nephew worked hard as hell to take those first few steps toward a little green ball. I take great pride in that little victory of his. Even at 10 months, you can tell he is going to be the type of guy that respects the process. Soon enough he’ll be running. Take pride in the little victories this spring and next fall. They are all part of working toward something great.

COLUMN: FROM 8 15, top 10 recruiting class is exciting. Last week, it started to feel like the program wasn’t just spinning its wheels on the road back to national prominence. But don’t let the prospect of 2017 affect your expectations for 2016. I would like to think the next logical step for my nephew to take is swinging a golf club. That’s not realistic, though. Wouldn’t it be nice if the next logical step after a 6-7 finish was a top 10 finish? Clearly it isn’t. This spring has been exciting thus far, no doubt. But the recruiting class of 2017 won’t do much on the field in 2016. So what do we have to work off of for next fall?

Huskers lose close match against Badgers JOHN SCHMITT DN The No. 71 Nebraska men’s tennis team lost 4-3 against No. 31 Wisconsin on Sunday, March 27 falling to 11-5 overall and 2-1 in the Big Ten this season. Nebraska started off strong in the doubles, with brothers Dusty and Toby Boyer winning 6-1 against Lamar Remy and Josef Dodridge. Marc Herrmann and Scott Elsass defeated Chema Carranza and Jakhongir Jalolov 6-3 to give the Huskers the first point of the match. “It was a tough match,” said Nebraska coach Kerry McDermott. “We played the best doubles of the season, but we let our aggressiveness slip away from us near the end of the singles.” The singles were very tight throughout, with five out of the six went to three sets while both teams battled for every single point. At the No. 2 singles spot, Marc Herrmann claimed a quick victory over Alexander Kokerev, 6-1, 6-3. No. 3 Toby Boyer started strong, winning his first set, but fell to Lamar Remy, 6-2, 3-6, 4-6. No. 1 Dusty Boyer claimed a point as he defeated Josef Dodridge, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4. The Huskers struggled lower down in their lineup for singles play, losing each of the last three points. No. 4 Tomislav Antolijak lost to Osgar O’Hoisin, 7-5, 1-6, 2-6. No. 5 Andrew Dzulynsky had close sets, but fell short to Chema Carranza, 6-7 (2-6), 6-3, 3-6. The match came down to the No. 6 singles, where Ford Zitsch lost in a final set tiebreaker to John Zordani, 2-6, 6-2, 6-7 (6-8). “We will look to learn from today and in future matches, continue to put pressure on our opponents and stay aggressive until the end,” McDermott said. “We have great opportunities against good teams we are looking forward to.” Nebraska will hit the road next to take on Penn State on Friday, April 1 at 3 p.m.

BASEBALL RECAP: FROM 11 lief pitcher Jeff Chesnut came in relief of Burkamper, and limited the damage in the sixth to just one run. Miller later added some insurance with a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning, giving relief pitcher Reece Eddins more comfort room to earn the save. Boldt, Miller and Reveles combined for nine hits and 5 RBIs. Miller was one hit short of completing the cycle. Game 2 Nebraska’s offense did not slow down its production with 14 more hits in its Saturday afternoon 11-6 victory against Purdue. However, the Huskers did not earn its first two runs from swinging the bats. Outfielder Ryan Boldt reached the bases on an errant throw by Purdue third baseman Duncan McKinnon that advanced him two bases. Plazcek then laid down a sacrifice bunt, and McKinnon committed another throwing error that scored Boldt. He found his way on second base and he eventually scored on consecutive hits to the right side of the infield. Boldt later extended the Huskers’ lead by hitting a two-run double in third inning. Purdue catcher Nick Dalesandro responded in the fourth inning by hitting an RBI single. He would later come up in the sixth inning and deliver another RBI single to, cutting the deficit to 4-2. Infielder Brett Carlson followed with an RBI double, but the Huskers starting pitcher Jake McSteen focused, and got the Huskers out of the inning. He would finish the game after throwing a careerhigh six innings and allowing three runs. The Huskers added seven more runs in the eighth and ninth innings to put the game out of

reach for Boilermakers. Purdue scored three runs in the ninth inning, but it was all too late. Boldt had another three-hit game while freshman catcher Jesse Wilkening earned career-high three hit game. Game 3 On Sunday, March 20 the Huskers completed the sweep with a 9-8 victory to make it seven straight wins. The Huskers tallied another 16 hits to a weekend where they accumulated 29 runs on 46 hits. Boldt had yet another three-hit performance in addition to the first three batters each having three hits. Placzek and Reveles each had a home run. Nebraska starting pitch Matt Waldron pitched 5.2 innings, and didn’t run into any issues until the sixth inning. The Huskers had an 8-1 lead, but the Boilermakers put up three runs in both the sixth and seventh innings. Reveles provided Nebraska with some insurance in the eighth inning, when he hit his fourth home run of the year, giving Nebraska a 9-7 lead. Nebraska relief pitch Chad Luensmann ran into some trouble in the ninth inning, after hitting Purdue catcher Nick Dalesandro. He was later advanced to second base on a sacrifice bunt and eventually wound up at third base after a ground ball advanced him. But Luensmann bared down, and retired Purdue right fielder Alec Olund to end the game. Nebraska will attempt to make it eight straight wins against in-state rival Creighton on Tuesday, March 29 at 6:35 p.m.

Non-student cited for SuperheroeS Wanted pot, stealing ‘420’ sign STAFF DN On March 25 about 1 a.m., University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Department officers were alerted about possible drug activity in a vehicle near 515 N. 19th St. When officers arrived, they smelled a strong scent of marijuana coming from the area around the car. Officers searched the car and found 3.4 grams of marijuana, a marijuana blunt weighing .7 grams and a door plaque from Robert E. Knoll Residential Center for Room 420. Three UNL students and one non-UNL affiliate were all cited and released for possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia. The nonaffiliate was also charged with theft of an item valued less than $200. A staff member at UNL Information Technology Services told police he found “disturbing propaganda” on a printer inside the Alexander Building. A police report indicated the flyer is believed to have been printed “by an unknown person/source” sometime between March 24 and March 25. NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM
