Conservationist nominated for $100,000 award DANAE LENZ DAILY NEBRASKAN

In the 19th century, billions of passenger pigeons swarmed the skies, darkening the sun for days at a time when they migrated. Martha, the last passenger pigeon, died at the Cincinnati Zoo in 1914.

When Joel Sartore, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln alumnus and Lincoln resident, was a young boy, he heard the story of the last passenger pigeon and was astounded that humans had driven such a populous bird to extinction in a short amount of time. That story inspired him to work toward preventing that same fate from happening to other species. Now, years later, with 20 years of working for National Geographic under his belt, he has been nominated for the prestigious $100,000 Indianapolis Prize.

The prize is given every other year to one person for

outstanding work in conservation and is considered to be one of the greatest awards someone in conservation can receive. This year, 29 total nominees were selected. That number will eventually be slimmed to six finalists, and then the winner will be honored at a gala next September.

“There are a lot of people on there that are much, much more deserving than I am and have been in conservation longer than I,” Sartore said. “So the odds are very long that I will win it, but it’s very nice to be nominated. I’m honored.”

Sartore has done a lot in the name of conservation and saving endangered species since he started working for National Geographic.

Sartore went to Madidi National Park in Bolivia to write a story about the proposed Bala Dam, a dam that would destroy 1,000 square miles of rain forest. Sartore took the photos, determined to affect

While some students find a part-time job for extra cash, others are getting more creative.

Michael Wachter, a sophomore broadcasting major, donates plasma for money at Biomat USA just south of campus at 2002 N St. At Biomat, plasma donors can earn more than $200 a month if they donate the maximum of twice every week. Donors sit through a process where their blood is removed and the plasma is separated out. The red blood cells are then returned into the body.

Wachter uses the money he earns from donating plasma to pay for things not provided by the campus.

“I donate plasma as a college student because I am poor,” he said. “I need money for gas and food.

The dining hall on the weekend is (below my expectations).”

Plasma is the colorless fluid part of blood and is used in blood transfusions.

Because plasma donors do not lose any red blood cells, plasma can be donated more often than blood can, according to the American Red Cross . The recipients of plasma require donations for many different reasons. Plasma helps those who suffer from hemophilia, immunodeficiency diseases, leukemia, HIV and more. It also helps patients who have had bone marrow transplants fight off disease and bacterial infection.

Cierra Kelly, a freshman psychology major, also donates plasma. Unlike Wachter, however, Kelly does not receive payment for her donations. Because she is under the age of 19, she cannot be paid by the plasma centers.

Kelly said it doesn’t affect her whether she receives payment.

“It’s helping people,” she said. “I just like to help.”

Kelly’s mother suffered from severe burns in an accident and received blood and plasma transfusions for her reconstructive surgery.

Kelly said this motivates her to donate.

However, Kelly said she will accept payment once she turns 19 and can legally collect the incentive offered in exchange for her donations.

“I need the money,” she said. “It’s nice to have some

sartore: from 1 people to realize these species exist and get them to care while there’s still time,” Sartore said.

“To get people to care about more than just the price at the pump and what’s on TV and how the football team is doing. You know, if we’re talking about the extinction of life on the planet and it’s folly to think that we can drive so many other species to extinction and then not have it come back to bite us very hard. In my mind, when you save endangered species — when we save endangered species — we’re actually saving ourselves.”

John Chapo, the Lincoln Children’s Zoo director, has known Sartore for many years and has seen Sartore’s drive to save animal life. Because of that, Chapo nominated Sartore for the prize.

“Joel is such a huge advocate for wildlife and wild places,” Chapo said. “And he just works so hard for so many, many years, trying to protect endangered species and endangered species habitat, that I just felt that he was very worthy of being nominated for the Indianapolis Prize.”

Chapo said Sartore is going above and beyond to “vividly educate the masses” about what they can do right now.

“I don’t know anybody who is more sincerely dedicated to protecting wildlife and wild places,” Chapo said. “He would be a top nominee as far as I know and I’ve been in the zoo world for 39 years. He’s a phenomenal individual and I think he is without a doubt one of the

most top-deserving people that I know.”

Sartore said the chances of him winning the Indianapolis Prize are slim, but if he did win, it would mean a lot.

“It would be a great honor,” he said. “The biggest honor ever in my life, next to my wife saying, ‘I do.’”

If he does win the prize, though, he said he will put the $100,000 right back into conservation.

Chapo said he thinks Sartore has a great chance of winning, even comparing him to Jane Goodall, one of the world’s most well-known conservationists.

“Joel is very humble, he really is,” Chapo said. “Because he looks at what these other people have accomplished, people who have given 25 years living in wild places. He’s thinking of Jane Goodall, who’s done 50 years. Well, he’s not old enough to have 50 years under his belt.

By the time he has 50 years under his belt, he will be like Jane Goodall.”

But Sartore knows that even if he worked his entire life, he would never run short on materials to explore and photograph.

“There’s really no time to lose,” he said. “We just hit 7 billion people. We’re going to hit 8 billion in 15 years. It’s not all the people, it’s the consumption that chews up the face of the earth. Unfortunately, I’m never going to run out of materials.”

Monday booth offers education, preventative tools for students conor dunn daily nebraskan

For its third year in a row, the University Health Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is sponsoring Healthy Mondays at its Health Education and Outreach booth in the Nebraska Union.

“It’s a part of the Healthy Monday on Campus awareness campaign promoted by the American College Health Association to make students more health-conscious,” said Jennifer Snyder, marketing coordinator for the health center.

“The day all health breaks loose,” is the slogan for the campaign. It consists of a variety of people and organizations that commit every Monday to the behaviors and actions that will end chronic preventable disease. Mondays were chosen because it’s the perfect time for a fresh start, according to the Mondays Campaigns website.

UNL has organized “Healthy Mondays” since September and is one of more than 30 schools in the U.S. that participate in the movement. Each Monday between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. the Health Education and Outreach booth educates students on a different healthrelated topic and gives away free items such as recycled shopping bags and bike reflectors.

Snyder said each month the booth rotates between Eat Healthy Mondays, Move It Mondays, Green Mondays and Mindful Mondays. The Counseling and Psychological Services staff will be teaching students how to de-stress with different breathing and yoga techniques this Monday as a part of Mindful Monday.

Eat Healthy Mondays help to avoid the “freshman 15” by teaching students what they should and shouldn’t be eating. “Green Mondays” educate

students on how to recycle around campus. “Move It Mondays” promote healthy exercise by getting students to engage themselves in physical activity.

Each Monday has a different giveaway, including free jump ropes as well as bike reflectors for the students who might be traveling at night and need to be visible.

The campaign’s founder, Sid Lerner, was awarded the 2011 Special Merit Award on Nov. 7 by the Public Health Association of New York City for his contribution to developing creative marketing strategies that promote public health.

For students like Jessica Rowe, a freshman political science major, Healthy Monday on Campus also has a Facebook and Twitter page to spread awareness and create networks for sharing health messages on the first day of every week – even if schedules don’t allow for a trip to the

HEALTH

booth.

“Mondays tend to be the most tiresome day for a lot of people,” Rowe said. “It’s good to see UNL is making the effort to promote fresh starts and keep students on track of what they should be doing to keep themselves and their environment healthy.”

There have been a good number of students coming to the booth each Monday and the booth tends to see a lot of regulars coming back each week, Snyder said.

“It’s all about getting students to make good choices for themselves and for their environment,” Snyder said. conordunn@ dailynebraskan.com

NU regent to appeal misdemeanor count of larceny Staff Report Daily Nebraskan

A University of Nebraska regent will appeal his conviction of stealing a $30 snow shovel from a Kearney rental home during a hearing on

Dec. 7, according to the Associated Press.

Kent Schroeder was found guilty of a misdemeanor count of larceny in June. He will appear before Cheyenne County District Judge Derek Weimer – a special court

appointment because Schroeder practices as an attorney in Buffalo County, where the hearing will be held.

According to police, last February a man reported Schroeder entered his rental home and took the shovel,

which he allegedly returned a few days later.

In his testimony, Schroeder said he thought he had permission to enter the home, believing no one was living there.

extra cash, but if I didn’t get paid I would still donate. I’m not stressed about getting money.”

Wachter said he would not donate plasma if he did not get paid.

Both Kelly and Wachter donated plasma for the first time in spring of 2011 and neither of them donates consistently.

“I only donate when I need money for necessities on the weekend,” Wachter said. “I’m sick of hoagies, salad, pizza and hamburgers.”

Wachter has also spent plasma money on other items, including grape plants, a decorative fountain, a lava lamp and an ashtray.

“What if I want to save money from donating plasma to take a (girl) out on a date?” he asked.

“I use the money for a lot of things.”

Iowa-Nebraska rivalry fails to reach potential In the first meeting between the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Iowa as members of the Big Ten Conference, the Huskers emerged victorious.

The rivalry has been hyped since the 2011 football schedule came out failed to materialize into anything special, as the Huskers won 20-7 and affairs between fans and players remained cordial.

The Daily Nebraskan supports creating something special in the season finale for these borderingstate schools and hopes both teams continue to foster this new relationship with one another.

Earlier in the year, both student bodies voted to endorse the Corn Bowl Trophy, which is presented to the winner of the annual game. Ideally, more student groups and both athletic departments will work together in the coming months to make each matchup between the schools more special.

But without this collaboration, it doesn’t seem likely that the so-called rivalry will become anything more than a regular season game.

Nebraska-Oklahoma had the true feel of a rivalry game, with Nebraska and Oklahoma meeting for more than 70 years in games that often had major implications in national championships, conference championships and bowl games.

After that series ended with the formation of the Big 12, the Buffaloes tried to fill the role the Sooners had, but the rivalry ended up being a much bigger deal to Colorado fans than it was to Nebraska fans, who longed for a return to the glory days of the Big Eight.

With appropriate support from fans, students and the two universities, the Iowa-Nebraska game has the potential to become something great, but only if both sides are willing to invest in the future.

This week, as part of the lead-up to the Board of Regents meeting on Friday, the opinion section asked its writers,“What one change would you make to the university, if you could?” Today’s columns come from Rhiannon Root and the arts and entertainment section’s Neil Orians.

Professors must advocate for students

W

hen was the last time you felt an instructor genuinely cared about your education? How often has one of your instructors gone out of their way to help you? One of the biggest problems I’ve seen at this university in my time here has been the lack of support professors have for their students. I don’t feel, for the most part, the faculty here are passionate about teaching or helping their students figure out what is best for them.

Instead we have programs and programs full of selfish, tenured individuals whose only desire is to develop their own careers. As a result, their students suffer greatly by not gaining the education we’ve bought.

The main issue is that instead of having someone help us and empathize with us, we are expected to fight for ourselves. The art education debacle serves as a great example of this university’s professors failing to stand up for their students. When the University of Nebraska-Lincoln decided to bring this program to an end, it wasn’t only a slap in the face to every single person in the program, but also to every single student, faculty and support staff within the program itself.

To eliminate art education is to say that art isn’t important.

Professors and students in the art college who don’t acknowledge the importance of art education are, in fact, denying the very reasons why they are artists or art majors.

When the program was initially terminated, those in the program were forced to choose another route.

The passionate protests from both students in the program and the community changed the initial decision.

Because of their outrage, students in the program were allowed to finish.

This obviously should have been the plan from the start. The fact that we needed to fight to let those in art education finish is despicable. I find it rather insulting.

But where were the professors to stand up for their art education students? When my friend, who is obligated to finish at UNL because of her track team commitment, was told she couldn’t finish her desired degree, where was a professor to stand up for her? Where was anyone with power?

in its beginning courses, making 261 (Beginning I) a digital process class and creating an all new course, 262, for film process.

My 261 class was on the old schedule, being a film process class. When I took 261, students would then go on to 361. This was my plan. However, I ended up dropping it for more time to focus on my other studios.

Neil Orians When I decided to enroll for next semester, I chose to enroll in 361 again so I may finally take another photography course.

However, I was informed that I must take 262. This is something that I feel, much like not letting art education majors finish, should be a non-issue. For starters, I have already learned film process in a beginning studio format. To force me take this class again is inappropriate.

After all, if a Spanish student shows enough knowledge to participate successfully in a 300-level class, the program won’t tell them to take a 200-level course before moving on. This would be redundant.

However, this is the case. I am told that I am no longer qualified to take a course I was qualified to take this semester. Better yet, I’m not qualified because I haven’t taken a prerequisite that doesn’t exist until January.

General studies majors need more support, less criticism

“

W

hat do you want to be when you grow up?”

We’re constantly asked this question, from the time we’re children up until college.

And by the time we start college, usually around 18, we’re supposed to have a good answer.

We’re expected to know what we want to do with the rest of our lives before we can legally drink alcohol.

I’ve never been able to give a consistent and logical reply.

Throughout my life, my answers have varied from, “I want to be a paleontologist!” to “I want to be a vet!” to “I want to be a vampire hunter!” (I was really into “Buffy” as a kid.) And as a snarky 18 year old my answer was, “I wanna rock!” (If you don’t get the reference, Google Twisted Sister’s “I Wanna Rock” right now.)

Some of us knew what we wanted to do from a young age. If you’re one of those people, you’re lucky. But I’d venture to say that a lot of us still don’t know what we want to do when we grow up.

In college, the question takes on a new meaning, especially when asked, “What’s your major?” No matter what you say, it’s likely to sound ridiculous, especially if you still have doubts.

The question of majors was the bane of my existence for a good semester and a half. I didn’t have a major. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life, but I knew what I didn’t want to do.

I knew I didn’t want to be a

doctor because bodily fluids gross me out.

I knew I didn’t want to be a lawyer because I hated the idea that my performance in the courtroom could seriously impact the rest of a person’s life. Though it’s worth pointing out that everyone in my high school said I should study law.

I knew I didn’t want to study botany. The last name puns would get old real quick.

What little experience I had with journalism at that time had left me cold. In high school, journalism was actually a code word for “yearbook.” Yearbook is propaganda, not journalism.

In high school, history was a vaguely positive experience, even when unskilled teachers taught the subject. However, those classes pale in comparison to the expertise and enthusiasm of my college professors. History kicks ass.

At the same time, though, if anyone had told me, “Hey, Rhi, guess what? You’re going to be an editor and you’re going to LOVE IT. You’re also going to adore history. And you’ll write about science, too. It’s going to rock!” I would’ve said a string of grammatically incorrect swear words and left in a huff.

In many ways I’m grateful for being undeclared for as long as I was. I’m glad I took my time to fall in love with my majors. I believe in what I do and I couldn’t be happier with what I chose.

Does that mean I’m behind on a few things? You bet. My graduation date is closer to five years, rather than four. I’ll be a super

Rhiannon Root senior. Look out, I’m buying a cape!

I think that’s a fair trade. However, the alternative is something much worse. I have friends who have a new major each time we speak. It’ll take them two or three years of more school to get everything done. And I have a few friends who absolutely loathe their majors. They’re seniors and constantly complain about their areas of study. But it’s too late for them to do anything now.

What’s ironic is that many of these same friends also received scholarships as freshmen to study these fields they now abhor. An undeclared student can’t necessarily expect the same thing. The assumption is that since an undeclared student hasn’t yet made up his or her mind on the rest of his or her life, educating that student is a waste of time and money. Yeah, people who are thoughtful and reflective are unworthy of financial support. Clearly, that’s a bad investment.

I sure didn’t get any scholarships for being undeclared. And I paid for it. I had a huge financial scare my freshman year and

I almost wasn’t able to stay at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. (If given the chance, I’d also reform FAFSA and parts of the journalism industry, too, but that’s another column.)

In addition to undeclared financial woes, I can count the number of times on one hand that anyone actually gave me any decent career advice during my freshman year: once. The advice came from a wonderful English instructor.

But the mid-semester check that was supposed to give me decent career advice after a test? Nothing.

The No. 7 option for my career path was magician. Yeah. I wish I were kidding.

I’m not dogging on Career Services. It is wonderful and can help you with all sorts of things like revising your resume, getting a decent job and preparing you for an interview. Career Services rocks, but it’s not everything when it comes to selecting a major.

So here’s what needs to happen to make this university a better place: We need to support the undeclared. I’m not just talking one dinky little career night.

First, we need to reform the general studies program. For being so large, it’s awfully disorganized. I don’t think I met another undeclared student my whole freshman year. What would’ve been a tremendous help is talking to someone who had been there before. If former general studies majors acted as mentors to freshmen, this would be an incredibly wise and savvy move.

We need to have each college

lauren vuchetich | daily nebraskan

aggressively recruit the undeclared majors. Each college could have nights where it discusses what it could offer students. Of course, each night should be nonconflicting so undeclared students could fully explore their options.

Show what can be accomplished with this degree. Display successful graduates of this college. Have an alumni night. Most importantly, we need to have a better financial support system for undeclared folks.

Why not create a scholarship for those who haven’t decided yet?

The rest of your life is far too long to be stuck with a career you hate.

Rhiannon Root is a news-editorial and history major and hates the idea that you have to have everything figured out by the age of 18. Follow her on Twitter @rhiannonroot and reach her at rhiannonroot@ dailynebraskan.com

Poet of the People

jon augustine | daily nebraskan

Kelsey Haugen daily nebraskan

For many poets, writing serves as a means of self-expression and conflict resolution.

At Crescent Moon Coffee, writers have the opportunity to share their written lives with others by reading their work to an audience made up of both writers and non-writers. Rex Walton, a Lincoln poet for 30 years, has been running this Monday night reading series for the past 10 years.

Though “Poetry at the Moon” is typically frequented by poets, short stories, non-fiction, screenplays, songs and even blog posts are shared.

In the process of booking readers for the series, Walton contacts

and schedules writers from Nebraska and all across the Midwest to read their work at the Crescent Moon. There are five or six “regulars” who read every week, but the number of new readers has been increasing recently.

“These writers bring great experiences, styles and different ways of looking at things,” Walton said.

But Walton’s love of verse is grounded in his own experience as a poet. He writes narrative poetry to express himself and to generate new thought.

He often uses his poems to work through the events of his life.

“It’s a way of talking to myself about myself and the world,” Walton said.

His inspiration to write is

magnified by the work of others, whether it’s listening to fellow writers reading on Mondays or reading online articles or blogs. Much of Walton’s work is based on events that have happened in his life, but he also touches on themes of nature and politics. Though he primarily writes poems, he has crafted some short stories as well.

“I’d say I’m primarily a poet because I have a short attention span and slow typing speed,” Walton said, jokingly.

He’s constantly taking notes on setting for potential inclusion in his writing. Walton also regularly looks through old photos, drawing on inspiration from past events he may have

since forgotten or perhaps looking for a new lens of interpretation. Lately, most of his writing has been about his parents, who have both passed away.

Given that this personal style of art can be sensitive and difficult, even the host of “Poetry at the Moon” benefits from an atmosphere steeped in reassurance and communication.

“We encourage people to get up and talk about what they’re working on,” he said.

Walton usually shares one or two of his poems each Monday, but only if there is enough time after everyone else has read.

“I’d never refuse anyone a chance to read their writing,” Walton said.

While writers are reading

their pieces, Walton takes pictures and later posts them online, so they can be shared with the readers’ friends or family.

One “regular” at Crescent Moon is Amy Plettner, a local writer and poet of 25 years, who’s been the featured reader at Crescent Moon three times, twice in collaboration with her daughter.

“My poetry is free verse and deals with life, texture, sensuality and our relationships with the natural world and each other,” Plettner said.

Her inspiration to write comes from other writers, nature, family and relationships.

One of her books was published this year, Since this year’s publication of her book, “Undoing Orion’s Belt,” she has had

several Nebraska readings.

“I still get nervous before a reading, but I think it’s extremely important for us to (be) involved in a process of listening, even to our own voices,” Plettner said.

She especially enjoys reading at the Crescent Moon because she feels like she is a part of Lincoln’s community of writers.

“I may never have found my voice if not for Rex and the support of this rich writing community,” Plettner said.

Walton’s continual support of local writers and his role as an organizer in Lincoln’s literary community has helped many writers to find their voices and begin sharing their work with others.

Friends, colleagues to honor Author to discuss Nazi the impact of Gerald Shapiro flight in WWII aftermath chance solem-pfeifer daily nebraskan

chance solempfeifer

Nearly two months after his unexpected passing, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln English department isn’t finished observing the gifts late professor and author, Gerald Shapiro, shared with students, readers, colleagues and friends. What’s more, appreciation of Shapiro’s contributions to UNL isn’t likely to cease any time soon.

Friday, Dec. 2, a celebration of Shapiro’s life will take place at 3 p.m. in Room 212 of the Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center. The event will feature a reading of one of Shapiro’s most recent stories, “The Last of the Cowboy Poets” by actor and director Peter Riegert.

Riegert directed and starred in the film “King of the Corner,” which was based on Shapiro’s “Bad Jews.”

Other speakers at the celebration will include UNL alumni Emily Danforth and Lee Martin and UNL faculty Grace Bauer and Timothy Schaffert.

“I think the celebration is a wonderful opportunity to honor Gerry’s memory and the impressive body of work that he has left us,” said Susan Belasco, chair of the UNL English department. “I think for all of us in the English department, the celebration is a chance to honor our valued colleague and very dear friend.”

From “WWII In Color” to “Saving Private Ryan” to “Call of Duty,” there is little question that the American fascination and adoration of the Allied victory in World War II is a potent one. But even on issues that may initially reveal themselves as a stark duality of black and white, good and evil, scholars argue that history as we tend to think of it in popular terms is far more complex.

Such is the aim of Gerald Steinacher, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln assistant professor of history, in his recent book “Nazis on the Run: How Hitler’s Henchmen Fled Justice.” Steinacher will give a public lecture on his book this Wednesday at the Great Plains Gallery at 7 p.m.

Steinacher’s book, which was released in June 2011 by Oxford University Press, examines the routes and methods that Nazi war criminals, including those well-known figures like Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele, used to escape Europe following the war’s end in 1945.

Steinacher’s findings notably refute the supposed existence of the international Nazi organization ODESSA, which ascended into the popular consciousness following

For UNL English lecturer and author Timothy Schaffert, the opportunity to celebrate Shapiro’s life has personal value, as it does for many of his English department colleagues.

“Gerry was such a good friend to me, someone who I sought out constantly for advice and perspective,” Schaffert said.

“I welcome any opportunity to honor and celebrate Gerry, and it will be nice to be around others who will also miss his insight and friendship.”

New First Friday venue brings art walk to North Lincoln brandon perchal daily nebraskan

When it comes to First Friday art walks in Lincoln, the scope of art on display goes beyond what has been created with pencils and paintbrushes.

During the December event of First Friday, North Lincoln art institutions are broadening the horizons of what art walkers will see from gallery to gallery.

Heart of Gold Jewelers (2701 N. 48th St.) will feature a variety of work this Friday. The store will exhibit art from two potters, several photographers and woodcutters and also jewelry created by co-owner Charlie Yost and his daughter, Toni.

“At our exhibit we’ll have a collection of different mediums that are all local,” Yost said.

“They’ll see a lot of things that they won’t see anywhere else.

All local and all one of a kind.”

By hosting an art exhibit at Heart of Gold (which has been open for 2-1/2 years), Yost hopes to draw in future customers who might be attracted to a free display of local art.

“Plus it’s always nice because there are things to eat and drink in a nice warming atmosphere,” Yost said.

Within walking distance from Heart of Gold Jewelers is the LUX Center for the Arts, which

will be showcasing ceramics from University of NebraskaLincoln Clay Center professors.

The title of exhibit is “Changes: UNL Ceramics 1987-2011.”

“It is clay work from either people who are UNL faculty or people that just left,” said Stephanie Leach, the gallery director at the LUX. “It’s to show what the clay program has become and also what’s happening in contemporary ceramics.”

The exhibit provides a way for the public to view contributions made by faculty who have seen their pieces shown around the world.

“Through workshops and lectures we really don’t get to see their work that often,” Leach said. “This is a special treat for the community.”

The LUX Center event is organized so the pieces from each professor contains one unique trait specific to their work. One of the professors, Margaret Bohls, is known for incorporating a great deal of textual elements.

Leach personally finds ceramic work to be one of the most fascinating disciplines in the field of visual art.

“It’s one of the most interesting mediums because it starts off as nothing and it can be formed into anything,” she said.

“It’s one of the most versatile mediums.”

Another stop on the north Lincoln art walk, 9 Muses Studio, will be showcasing the work of Arden Ellen Nixon.

“She works in kind of a fantasy genre,” said Kerin Bunstock, head of the 9 Muses art committee.

Nixon mainly focuses on drawings, paintings and watercolor works. Nixon’s pieces reflect her love for literature, history, mythology and life.

“She provides a really unique way of viewing a lot of icons,” Bunstock said. “She’s an illustrator, so it helps her to tell her stories. She doesn’t like to be literal, but to capture the emotion of the story.”

The 9 Muses Studio is a relatively new player to the Lincoln art scene, opening in May 2010.

The creators of the studio convened out of a need for a space to create and to promote the work of their peers.

“We just came together to see where our creativity would lead us,” Bunstock said.

North Lincoln art exhibits on Friday will offer copious amounts of art mediums to the public. Though the more wellknown First Friday destination is downtown Lincoln, the north Lincoln scene aims to provide art patrons with a unique alternative.

steinacher: from 5 ODESSA myth has persisted for a quarter century.

“For many years ODESSA dominated everything, even appearing in academic publications as an explanation for how Nazis escaped Europe after 1945 and it clearly shows that we certainly have a tendency to believe in conspiracy theories,” he said. “These mythical explanations were used to keep the topic alive when people wanted to forget it in the early years of the Cold War.” These international implications of Nazi escapes from Europe are certainly one of the primary themes in Steinacher’s work – that the post-war tone of the continent, the inception of the Cold War and the global, political backdrop of the 1950s and 1960s combined to both allow the flight of SS officials and render it difficult to detect after the fact.

“There are still many stereotypes and many myths, but slowly we are understanding how these escapes happened,” Steinacher said. “Much of this information wasn’t available

because of the post-war political background until 1989, when the Berlin Wall came down.”

Perhaps one of the more striking revelations to come out of Steinacher’s international research is that Italy and the Vatican played vital roles in allowing Nazis to flee the continent. The reasoning behind the complicity of various bishops and less prominent clergy is difficult to nail down. Some, Steinacher asserts, were staunchly anti-communist. Others, history shows, felt that aiding the officers was a moral obligation.

What the author also plans to emphasize on Wednesday is V. EASY that these figures within the Roman Catholic Church felt they were operating in accordance with a moral code that Americans and Europeans of 2011 may have difficulty imagining.

“Many of those who helped the perpetrators were convinced they were doing something good,” Steinacher said.

“Our understanding of humanitarian ideals and human rights has changed drastically.”

Amnesty International to award cash for lyrics Tyler keown daily nebraskan

To those with a penchant for poetry or songwriting, the University of NebraskaLincoln chapter of Amnesty International wants to see your best work.

The university chapter of the international human rights organization is holding a two-fold lyricist contest, offering $50 to the writer of the best poem and another $50 for writer of the best song. The poems and song lyrics should touch on themes of social justice and human rights, though the subject matter is open to interpretation. The officers of the UNL Amnesty group will make the final selections.

Those interested in entering should submit their work to amnesty.unl@gmail.com

by Jan. 25.

Along with the $50 prizes, the winners will be given the chance to perform their work at the “Demand Dignity” concert being put on by the UNL group next semester.

The concert, which will take place Jan. 28 at Meadowlark Coffee at 7 p.m., has a $5 suggested donation. The money collected that night will benefit Native American reservation poverty in the state of Nebraska, though the specific charity is yet to be determined.

Amnesty International, formed in 1961, is at the global forefront of many human rights movements, from fighting for the release of wrongly imprisoned people to raising awareness about ongoing crimes against humanity.

“We’re a watchdog agency, even for our own government,” said Tim Lundy, a junior English major and

Gabriel Sanchez | Daily Nebraskan

secretary of the UNL chapter. “We write letters to different governments, trying to help those who need it. We get involved with campaigns, like ending the death penalty and ending violence against women. We do a lot.”

As part of the over-arching “Demand Dignity” campaign being run by Amnesty International, the UNL chapter is focusing their efforts this winter on helping those who live on Nebraska Native American reservations.

“The ‘Demand Dignity’ campaign is concerned with living standards,” said Kaitlin Mazour, an English and history double major and president of the UNL Amnesty chapter. “We decided to benefit reservation poverty because we see it as a local

issue that individuals in this area will be able to relate to.”

As far as the poems and songs are concerned, Mazour noted that UNL Amnesty is giving poets and musicians plenty of room to move so far as topic is concerned.

“We’d like the entries to be related to human rights,” Mazour said. “But the lyrics or poems don’t have to be related to reservation conditions or even the ‘Demand Dignity’ campaign.”

The contest is open to anyone interested, not just UNL students.

“This is a contest for those who like writing or have concerns about human rights,” Mazour said. “And everyone has concerns, I would hope.”

Huskers erase 13-point deficit, top Florida State Sean Whalen daily Nebraskan

Traveling wasn’t much fun for the Nebraska women’s basketball team last year.

In 15 contests outside the state of Nebraska, the Huskers won just one game, at lowly Washington State in Pullman, Wash.

In the latest example of how different this season is, NU won two games in Tallahassee during the weekend,

including a thrilling 66-63 comeback win against Florida State to start the season 6-0.

Down by 13 points on two separate occasions in the second half and with star forward Jordan Hooper often on the bench with foul trouble, hope was thin on the court for the Huskers. But during the final 17:44 of the game, NU was able to outscore FSU 35-19.

“We really didn’t play

well on offense in the first half ... we dug ourselves a hole,” coach Connie Yori said. “But it was good to see we responded. A road win against an ACC team, a team that’s been in the NCAA tournament the last seven years ... again, a really good win for us, particularly because it’s on the road.”

Lindsey Moore earned the game ball, according to teammate Emily Cady, with

her clutch play at the end of the game. The Huskers took their first lead of the game at 55-52, but FSU made a 8-2 run and NU trailed 6057 with cady little more than two minutes left. At that point

Moore took over, dishing a perfect pass to set freshman Brandi Jeffery up for a three to tie, then set up a Cady layup to give the Huskers the lead with 39 seconds left. Moore then grabbed a clutch defensive rebound and hit four free throws to ice the game.

“The free throws at the end were key,” Cady said.

“She works hard all the time, never gives up. Her energy drives the rest of the

team to do good.”

One area where the Huskers did especially well was at the free throw line. While both teams shot 10-for-30 from the field in the second half, NU hit all 12 of its free throws. FSU was 3-for-7.

That difference, and NU’s plus-seven turnover margin in the half, led to a 37-26

Game-changing plays put David among NU’s best Dan Hoppen daily Nebraskan

a

Nebraska receiver Kenny Bell caught a career-high five passes on Friday for 93 yards. The redshirt freshman also drew multiple penalties to keep Husker drives alive.

nice compliment Receiver Bell records career-high performance, helping NU top Iowa in first-ever Heroes game

story by jeff packer | photo by kyle bruggeman

A receiver does more than catch the ball.

At a school like Nebraska, rich with a history of getting things done on the ground, fans appreciate the other roles a wideout has. But when a receiver does get a glance at the ball downfield, snagging it is obviously critical.

That’s why NU receivers coach Rich Fisher saw Kenny Bell’s performance Friday as both exciting and expected.

“It’s a pressure cooker out

there,” Fisher said. “Especially when sometimes we get rolling and we’re running the ball a lot and we’re not passing the ball a lot. So when your number’s called, you’ve got to be able to produce.”

And produce Bell did. He snagged five passes for 93 yards, gashing the Hawkeye defense en route to a 20-7 win. Bell grabbed 70 of those yards in the second half, helping the Huskers create distance between their newest

rival on Senior Day. “I was given an opportunity to make some plays and, luckily, I reeled `em in,” Bell said. “Everything I did today was for those 21 seniors we have. I’m going to miss those guys a lot.”

Bell led a group of receivers that hauled in 12 of quarterback Taylor Martinez’s 22 pass attempts.

“He’s a monster, he’s just a freak of nature,” NU receiver Quincy Enunwa said of Bell.

“He’s out there, faster than anybody I’ve ever seen in my life, really, and he’s a great receiver.”

While the freshman from Boulder, Colo., didn’t record a score on the day, it may have been some of the more frustrating plays that signified his importance.

Carl Pelini remembers scouts asking him about defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh two years ago.

They asked him if he’d make a good pro.

NU’s defensive coordinator’s response was a simple one: “He already is.”

The scouts will be back this year, and they will likely ask similar questions about linebacker Lavonte David. And Pelini’s response is going to be the same.

“I can’t imagine there being a better linebacker out there,” Pelini said.

“He’s matured into a guy that who, when he gets out on the practice field, it’s a trade for him. It’s no longer a game. He’s perfecting his trade.”

David has perfected his trade as well as any linebacker in school history.

Despite being a part of the team for less than two years, he’s fifth on NU’s career tackles list with 274.

And although he’s a tackling machine (he led the team with eight, including five solo on Friday), he’ll be remembered for his game-changing plays.

Earlier this season against Ohio State, his strip and ensuing fumble recovery sparked the largest comeback in school history.

A few weeks later, he stuffed Penn State running back Silas Redd on fourth down to preserve another Husker victory.

David added to the list Friday with maybe his most spectacular play yet.

On a 3rd-and-11, Iowa quarterback James Vandenberg threw to tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz, whom David was covering. The big tight end pushed David down, caught the pass and started upfield.

The referee behind the play threw a penalty flag

for offensive pass interference, but David didn’t see it. He chased down Fiedorowicz and punched the ball out as he brought the tight end down.

As if that wasn’t enough, he then pounced on the ball to give NU possession.

“I felt the guy push off and I kind of got angry as I was going down, and I was like. ‘I have to do something to make up for this,’” David said. “I just saw the ball hanging out and I took a shot at it.

Fortunately, it turned out great for us.”

David’s instincts tend to kick in when his team needs him most. Pelini said that’s why the coaching staff believed David would be such a great player even though he arrived late in the summer. Pelini saw a good deal of David playing for Fort Scott Community College and knew he had the chance to be a star.

“When you watch junior college football, they don’t have the time with (the players) that we do,” he said. “You can really see instinct there. You knew that if he got into our scheme that instinct would help in a lot of ways and it did. He was playing all on instinct. He was a late add that came on late in the summer. As he learned the defense, he just started going faster and faster and recognizing things quicker and quicker.”

But instinct can only get a player so far. Even in the simplest defenses, a good amount of time spent studying the playbook and watching film is required.

And Pelini’s defense isn’t simple.

But David absorbs information like a sponge. He set the school’s single-season record for tackles last year, yet Pelini said he still

USC, Hawaii join Nebraska in tough Honolulu regional NU loses against Wildcats, earns No. 2 overall seed and will host first two rounds Robby Korth daily Nebraskan

Nebraska volleyball was riding high. The No. 2 Huskers clinched the outright Big Ten title, the first in Nebraska athletics history, with a sweep on the road against Iowa.

Then a 3-1 loss to Northwestern happened on the

road. Then Sunday night’s selection show happened.

Nebraska was placed in the Honolulu regional, which features the top three AVCA coaches poll teams in the nation – No. 1 USC, No. 2 Nebraska and No. 3 Hawaii. The Huskers were named the No. 2 overall seed in the bracket and will host Jackson State on Thursday and potentially play the winner of Kansas State/Wichita State on Friday. Texas was named the No. 1 overall seed with Illinois and Iowa State at No. 3 and 4, respectively.

If the Huskers win their first two matches, they will

advance to regionals in Honolulu.

Going into Saturday the 24-3 Huskers knew they would be presented with the Big Ten trophy regardless of their performance against a .500 Northwestern squad.

Northwestern capitalized on Nebraska’s hangover following the sweep against Iowa and won the match.

“Northwestern played really well,” Nebraska coach John Cook said. “They played fearless, and we didn’t make plays when we needed to get it done.”

And the Wildcats took advantage of a sleepy Husker

squad right out the gates.

In the first set, Northwestern held Nebraska to a .089 hitting percentage, and the Huskers dropped their fourth first set of a match in the last five matches 20-25.

Then Nebraska rebounded.

The Huskers held Northwestern to -.205 hitting percentage and won the second set soundly 25-9.

But following the intermission the Wildcats came out on a mission and won the third and fourth sets

second half advantage for the Huskers. NU had struggled with free throws earlier in the season.

“It was nice to hit some for once,” Cady said.

Jeffery hit two key 3-pointers and finished with a career-high 12 points in 15 minutes of play. Cady also had a career high with 14, while chipping in five rebounds. Moore led the team with 15 points and added five assists and seven rebounds. Hooper, playing only 25 minutes due to her three fouls, led the team with eight rebounds and scored 12 points, but did so on 3-of-15 shooting from the field.

NU’s strong performance came off an inconsistent 72-64 win against Florida A&M on Friday. Hooper led the Huskers with 21 points and eight rebounds, but the Huskers struggled to put the Rattlers away after getting a 19-point lead just before halftime, giving up 42 points on 47 percent shooting in the second half.

Still, Yori liked what she saw from her young players in what was the first road trip for many as Huskers.

McCray, NU bench volleyball: from 8 football: from 8 lead Nebraska to Czech students overcome culture clash win against SDSU daily nebraskan

Dan Hoppen Daily Nebraskan

During the Huskers’ 76-64 win against South Dakota State Saturday afternoon, NU’s starters delivered. Bo Spencer scored 18 points, including nine in the game’s final seven minutes, Brandon Ubel scored 12 points and pulled down a gamehigh eight rebounds and Jorge Brian Diaz chipped in with eight points.

But South Dakota State coach Scott Nagy said it wasn’t the starting five that sunk his team’s upset bid.

“Quite frankly, (Toney) McCray was their MVP,” Nagy said. “He hit big shots when we got close. He played better offensively than we gave him credit for. It wasn’t their stars that hurt; it was their bench that hurt us.”

After playing just eight minutes in NU’s loss to Oregon Wednesday night, McCray had 12 points and six rebounds in 24 minutes Saturday. He wasn’t the only bench member to make a dent in the stat sheet, though. Freshman David Rivers, who had played just nine minutes total in NU’s first four games, scored eight points in 18 minutes and Dylan Talley added 12.

All three received more minutes due to an illness that hit starting guard Caleb Walker Friday night and carried into Saturday morning.

Walker started but played a season-low 12 minutes and didn’t score.

But the bench was there to pick up the scoring slack.

The Huskers’ subs outscored SDSU’s bench 32-18.

“What the guys off the bench are doing is giving us points and that’s what you’d like them to do,” coach Doc Sadler said. “That’s something that David and Toney

can do in that mismatch position.”

After the loss to Oregon, Sadler told Rivers that there were going to be minutes available in the coming games and someone needed to step up. And with Walker limited with the illness, that need became even more pronounced.

But McCray was able to shoulder the load Saturday. He made five of his nine shot attempts, including both of his shots from long range and added an assist without turning the ball over.

“I knew coming into the game we were going to need some help to fill what he brings to the table,” he said.

During Sadler’s tenure, the Huskers haven’t been a team known for scoring prowess. Due to their personnel, NU chose to employ a more defensive-minded strategy. While Sadler has professed his desire to push the ball on offense, he didn’t always have the horses to do so.

A healthy McCray certainly would’ve helped in that area. Sadler said because of injuries, McCray has been unable to dribble a basketball for 12 of the past 24 months.

Now, with McCray mended, Sadler may finally have the pieces he needs for an up-tempo offense. The Huskers have averaged more than 78 points during their last three games.

“The one thing we all know Toney can do is score baskets,” Sadler said. “His last eight or nine games last year, he may have been our best player. (He) has been dealt a bad hand since he’s been here. It’s going to take him a while to get back.” danhoppen@ dailyNebraskan.com

asks questions at every practice.

“When he’s at practice, it doesn’t matter whether he’s in or not,” Pelini said. “He’s in. His head’s in it. He’s talking all the time, asking questions, learning, watching film.

He’s an amazing prep guy.

“He’s one of the best guys I’ve ever seen play college football.”

Friday’s game had a feeling of finality about it. Although the season isn’t done, the victory against Iowa was the last time David and his fellow seniors will play in Memorial Stadium. Without a chance to play in the Big Ten title game,

it will likely be more than a month until the Huskers take the field again, and even then it will be in a location far away.

David was adamant that his work on the collegiate level is far from done. The bowl game will be his final test as a Husker.

But even he was able to reflect Friday on his career as a Husker, the effect he’s had on the program and the dent he continues to make in the record books.

“I think my career has been great,” he said. “I’m really going to miss this place.” danhoppen@ dailynebraskan.com

The senior linebacker recorded a team-leading eight tackles in addition to recording the game’s only sack. He also forced and recovered a fumble that kept the Hawkeyes at bay in the third quarter.

rex burkhead The junior I-back didn’t exactly enjoy the way he got his school-record 38th carry, but he did it for the seniors on the offensive line. Burkhead ran for 160 yards on the ground, including a two-yard score that gave Nebraska a 20-0 lead. He’s been a workhorse for the Huskers offense all season long, but will now get some much deserved rest before NU’s bowl game.
