Club to livestream, make game more international Collin Spilinek dn staff writer
The University of Nebraska Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow Club started as a game among friends last year. Now, the club has attracted nearly 113 members since being founded last August, with more than 60 members meeting every Friday night in the University Suites Multipurpose Room. Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow is similar to the game of Mafia. The participants of the game are divided into “werewolves” and “townsfolk,” who have different power roles. None of the players know the true identity of anyone else but they must work together to oust the werewolves before they “kill” everyone. “It’s a game of critical thinking, verbal communication and reasoning, also with teamwork and leadership development,” University of Nebraska Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow Club president Junlin Yao said. Yao, a senior computer science major at UNL, said the game is more popular in China, which has led to the high number of Mandarin-speaking participants for the UNL club. Over the course of three weeks, the University of Nebraska Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow Club will be holding its “Lord of Liars” competition among 36 members of the club. The competition started last Friday, with the
students separated into three different groups. While the practices can have any number of players, the official rules state that rounds comprise of 12 participants. Rounds can last anywhere from 45 to 75 minutes. “It depends on the players’ levels and how complicated the game is,” Yao said. The competition also has a referee present, who oversees the game and narrates the events of the game to the players. “So, the player knows nothing, but the referee knows everything,” Yao said. Each week, 12 players play three rounds. Players can earn points by betting the 50 points they are each given on the outcome of that round. Up to 19 points can be bet for the first round, 29 points for the second and 49 points for the third. The top four winners for each week will compete in a final game to determine the champions. The top three will receive a trophy and gift card from the group’s sponsors. And the competition will also be livestreamed with multiple cameras set up. Professional gamers from “League of Legends” and “Hearthstone” livestream competitions like these for hundreds of thousands of viewers. “Usually, there are only productions for these big gaming stars,” Yao said. “We’re just trying to make a video of something like that, but it’s all produced by college students.”
The group has a professional team handling the recording and livestream comprised of UNL students, which includes marketing and advertising students and photographers. “We’re going to put both Chinese and English subtitles for English speakers to learn how to play this game,” Yao said. UNWMHC vice president Xuehua Zhong, senior, said that the competition also acts as a promotion for students interested in the group, who are invited to watch the livestream and guess who the players are. “Right now, everyone who plays this game is only students who speak Mandarin Chinese,” Zhong said. “We are also trying to get some English speakers, and hopefully, more other language speakers to get involved in the game so we can play this game in other languages, not just Chinese. So basically, make this game more international.”
Zhong, club co-founder, said the game was attractive to her because of the conversations during the game and the use of logic to determine who is playing who, as well as the community that arises from playing. “It’s a conversation and critical thinking game, so it’s kind of forced people to talk to others, so you get socialized and make new friends in it,” Zhong said. Having worked on this competition for so long, Yao said he was thankful for the team that was put together for the event. “We work 24/7, the weekends, in the night,” he said. “After we’ve finished our tests and homework, we just have meetings, talk about things. Because we’re trying to do this on a professional level.” NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

What Lincoln residents will be voting on Louie Broz dn staff writer
Students may cast their ballot at the Nebraska Union starting at 8 a.m. Tuesday morning. In addition to casting votes for the presidential and congressional tickets on the Lincoln district of the Lancaster County ballot, voters will decide on a variety of county and legislative bills. Joseph Zach, a junior accounting and finance major, chose to cast his ballot early. He said researching the ballot ahead of time made the voting process straight forward, but the wording on the ballot could be confusing, such as with Referendum 426. The referendum will decide if Legislative Bill 268 is retained or repealed. The bill, passed by the legislature last year, eliminates the death penalty and replaces the punishment with life in prison. Voting to retain the bill will keep the death penalty eliminated, while voting to repeal the bill will reinstate the death penalty. The General Obligation Bond for Southeast Community College is one point on the Lancaster County ballot that may be over-
looked by voters. The SCC bond will grant the organization $369 million to renovate its Beatrice, Milford and downtown Lincoln facilities and establish a campus in or around the downtown area. Voters can vote for or against these bonds and taxes. Sarah Spier, a graduate student studying natural resources, said information on the SCC bill seemed sparse and did not provide information on how the money would be used. “They just have signs that say yes or no,” Spier said. “I’m typically one to vote for proeducation bonds.”
House of Representatives. Fortenberry has served in Congress for the past 12 years.
Here’s a list of what else will be on the Lancaster County ballot:
Presidential Ticket Voters will choose either Donald Trump (R), Hillary Clinton (D), Gary Johnson (L) or Jill Stein by petition.
Democrat Larry Scherer and Republican Mike Hilgers are running to represent District 21, Democrat Jim Gordon and Republican Suzanne Geist for District 25, Democrat Anna Wishart and Republican Dick Clark for District 27 and Democrat Kate Bolz and Democrat Melody Vaccaro for District 29.
Congressional Ticket
State Board of Education
Republican Jeff Fortenberry and Democrat Daniel Wik are running to represent Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District in the U.S.
House of Representatives Voters will choose between Democrat Brad Ashford and Republican Don Bacon to represent the 2nd Congressional District of Nebraska.
County Commissioner for Districts 2 and 4 Republican Jim Ballard and Democrat Jennifer Brinkman are running to represent District 2. Republican Roma Amundson will go against a write-in candidate for District 4.
Legislative Districts
Vote to Retain Judges There will also be votes to retain judges in the state, appeals, district, juvenile and workers’ compensation courts. Voters will decide whether or not to retain Chief Justice Michael Heavican for the state supreme court. Judge Riko Bishop of the Court of Appeals and Judges Daniel Fridrich, John Hoffert and James Coe for the Nebraska Workers’ Compensation Court will also be voted on for retainment. Voters will choose whether or not to retain Jodi Nelson and John Colborn of the 3rd Judicial District of the District Court. Voters will choose between varieties of other positions as well, ranging from the Southeast Community College Board of Governors to positions on a variety of school districts.

The ups and downs of being a resident assistant Staff
phuc tran | dn
With University Housing at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln accepting resident assistant applications, many students are weighing the perks and disadvantages of becoming an RA. For some, it can be an exciting job, but is it worth the demanding time commitment? At the UNL, RAs receive an unlimited seven-day meal plan, a $300 stipend per semester and a single-bed room on the floor they manage. To earn these benefits, RAs have to do much more than ensure their residents are following campus and residence hall rules. They also spend hours planning and carrying out events, helping residents adjust to college life, updating bulletin boards and getting to know their residents. RAs can devote mornings, nights and weekends to taking care of their residents, as classes still come before work. While the idea of “free” housing and food attract some to the job, students also apply to improve their leadership skills, meet new students and help the campus community. “I wanted to become an RA because it gave me the opportunity to get really con-
nected with the community here at UNL,” said Chris Lindeman, an RA at Eastside Suites. “It allowed me to become a better leader and work on areas that would help me in my career.” The senior microbiology major said he has enjoyed the connections he’s made with residents through his job. “The biggest thing, though, is just being able to help people and impact people and just make a difference here at UNL,” he said. “Getting to meet so many different people and then seeing them grow over the course of the year.” Nathan He, an RA in Eastside Suites, said his work can be hard, and even overwhelming, sometimes. But it’s ultimately worth it, he said. “[It’s] a great community; RAs support each other,” he said. For those thinking about applying for an RA position, it’s recommended they learn more about the application process. He said he would tell RA applicants to “be yourself, be positive, be more inclusive.”

Pinnacle Bank Arena tailgating attendance decreasing Noah Johnson dn staff writer
In an attempt to create an alternative tailgating option for the University of NebraskaLincoln’s greek community, a free pre-game event for fraternity and sorority members was implemented. The tailgate takes place at Pinnacle Bank Arena about three hours before every home football game. To prevent underage drinking at this event, only those who are 21 and older and have wristbands are served alcohol. Since the first tailgate, Interfraternity Council President Mitch Misfeldt and Panhellenic Association President Morgan Battes said they are looking forward to future tailgates. “There are very exciting things on the horizon,” Misfeldt said. “We have our foot in the door.” “We made some very positive steps,” Battes added. Rachel Gibson, a UNL senior and member of the Chi Omega sorority, said her experience at the tailgates was positive. “There were so many things to do at the event each week,” Gibson said. Misfeldt and Battes plan to discuss with the next set of executives whether the event will continue next football season. One of the main topics of discussion will be the results of surveys sent out to chapters across campus. These results will help decide what’s been successful at the tailgate and what needs to be fixed. The executives also plan to discuss a possible change in venue for the 2017-18 season. According to Misfeldt, the event started out strong, with more than 1,000 people attending the tailgate. But toward the end of the season, the numbers began to dwindle. In addition, the final two home games of the season will not include a Pinnacle Bank Arena tailgate. “With the basketball season coming up, things were just becoming too hectic,” Misfeldt said.
file photo by tyler schank | dn Gibson said she believes the location of the arena contributed to the decrease in attendance. “I think a lot of people just didn’t want to go that far out, and which is one of the main reasons why they didn’t go,” Gibson said. To combat the decreasing attendance, events a cornhole tournament was started and DJs were brought in to entice people to come to the tailgate. “We really want to build up gameday culture up,” Misfeldt said. “However, we don’t want to completely program the event. We leave a lot of it up to the chapters.”
Gibson said the cornhole tournament was one of her favorite events at the tailgate. “A friend and I actually won the tournament and won free catered food for the next home game,” she said. “They definitely incorporated a lot of different activities to draw more people to the tailgate.” Different Greek chapters pair up before the tailgate and walk to the arena together, Battes said. Chapters have also held barbeques before the tailgate. “We want chapters to take up a sense of ownership,” Misfeldt said.
The event also provides an activity for greek members who, before this option was available, would spend their Saturdays other ways. “I remember during my first year that all I did was sit around on Saturdays,” Battes said. “I didn’t really want to take part in traditional tailgating.” NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

NanoArt combines art, science, technology Joe John
dn staff writer
Black and yellow bumblebees are spread out across a teal grate and hang on a wall in the University of Nebraska Lincoln’s Innovation Campus. But these bees are far from real. The image actually shows glue binding with roadway pavement at a microscopic level. This piece is a work of a new art form called NanoArt. NanoArt is an art discipline that comes from science. The images, captured through a microscope while viewing an object at the nano scale, have been manipulated by students or graduates of UNL to highlight the aesthetic appeal. The “NanoArt Display” has been featured at Innovation Campus since Oct. 3 and is open to the public 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The display, sponsored by the Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience, will close Nov. 30. The term “nano” is a scientific term that means one-billionth of a unit. When objects are viewed at nano scale, they show unexpected chemical and physical properties. This is where NanoArt comes to life. “NanoArt is a new art discipline that we have never seen before,” Terese Janovec,
the education outreach coordinator for the NCMN, said. “It’s an intersecting of art, technology and nanoscience in an image.” While viewing things on a nano scale, students can capture images through a microscope and later manipulate parts of the images, like color, or heat up the object and control the cooling process to create crystals in the image. “It’s pretty amazing all that happens on a nano scale that we don’t see,” Janovec said. And by manipulating the images the artists capture, competitors can make their images stand out from the crowd. Some of the works resemble photographs, but others resemble modern art. The bright colors and sharp line work create optical illusions. The students create their NanoArt for a
competition sponsored by the NCMN. Ehsan Rezaei recently received his doctorate of mechanical engineering and won the 2014-15 NCMN NanoArt Competition. “Sometimes, the beauty comes from very big mechanical features, but when we go to a nano scale, we can see the beauty of science,” Rezaei said. According to a press release from the NCMN, the NanoArt display is made up of 25 images that represent nanoscience research at UNL. The display serves to “celebrate the aesthetic appeal and creativity of nanoscience.” The artwork is judged by a panel selected by the NCMN Education and Outreach Committee for “the aesthetic impact and the effectiveness of communicating aspects of nanoscience,” according to a NCMN release to com-

petitors. Winners each receive an award and gift certificate. Their work is also mounted and included in the traveling exhibition. While manipulation of the image is allowed, Rezaei said he used no form of manipulation when creating his NanoArt for the competition, and it only took him a couple of hours to create after many failed attempts. His end piece looked like a pool of electromagnetic pinwheels. “There were a lot of unsuccessful trials behind my piece,” Rezaei said. “The main challenge is to never give up.” The traveling exhibition, which began in 2012, has made stops at places like the Nebraska Union, the Nebraska East Union, the Hastings Museum and The Burkholder Project, an art gallery in the Haymarket. Janovec said that through the NanoArt display, she hopes to shine a light on nanoscience in the Lincoln community. “We’re hoping to raise awareness about what nanoscience looks like,” Janovec said. “It’s in so many different areas, so it can really resonate with a lot of different people and scientists.” ARTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

TA invites students to her home for Thanksgiving
hannah depreist | dn Grace Bradford dn staff writer
Every year, University of Nebraska-Lincoln English graduate teaching assistant Courtney Lawton prepares Thanksgiving dinner for family and friends. But Lawton tries to make her Thanksgiving unique by inviting her students. Weeks before the actual holiday, she starts making lists of things she needs to get done in preparation for the dinner, including send-
ing out emails and invitations to her English students. Lawton said this year’s Thanksgiving meal will include “a turkey with oyster dressing, whipping up giblet gravy and mashed potatoes, and making some candied yams, cranberry sauce, and of course, pumpkin pie.” She said this in the email invitation she sent to her class. The idea of spending Thanksgiving with another family isn’t foreign to Lawton. Lawton taught high school English classes in her hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico, for 13 years and once spent Thanksgiving with
one of her high school students’ families. When she started teaching at UNL in 2012, she announced during class that her students were welcome to join her and her family for Thanksgiving dinner. This is the first year she’s sent out email invitations to her students. Lawton said she overheard her students saying they couldn’t afford to go home for Thanksgiving. So she opened her home to students for the holiday. But only one student has taken her up on the offer.
“He ended up not showing up,” Lawton said. “I guess he found a better offer.” This hasn’t stopped her from reaching out to students, especially when she knows money is tight. “If my students don’t have a place to go, we will be happy to have them come to our house,” she said. Even when students don’t show up, Lawton devotes the weekend before Thanksgiving to preparing and cooking her food. This includes making sure she gets the perfect turkey. At the end of dinner, her and her family follow the annual tradition of watching “It’s A Wonderful Life.” As the holiday keeps coming around and Lawton keeps reaching out to her students, she hopes more will feel welcome to spend Thanksgiving at her house, including the student athletes who might not be able to go home due to their sports.“I’ll have to make triple the amount of food,” Lawton joked about student athletes. “They’re like eating machines.” Scotty Sullivan, a freshman in Lawton’s Writing and Inquiry class, received an invitation from Lawton. Sullivan wasn’t surprised by it, saying this something Lawton would do. Sullivan even took his thoughts on Lawton’s Thanksgiving invitation to social media . “I left class knowing I could not let that experience sit inside me,” Sullivan said. “I turned to Twitter to let people know that there are still good people out there.” Sullivan said if he didn’t have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving, he would definitely take Lawton up on the invite. “It would be nice to attend her Thanksgiving because she is so welcoming – almost like a relative,” he said. Sullivan hopes to see more teachers offering up their homes for holidays, if they have the time, money and enough food to do so. “It is a nice way of making a large campus feel very inclusive if you know your professors well,” Sullivan said.

COBB: Clinton is the most qualified candidate
Rhiannon Cobb staff columnist
This election cycle has been one of fierce competition and high stress for all candidates alike. When looking at election day it is important to pick who you feel is the best suited to your standards. When it comes down to it,
Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for president because of her qualifications and her stances on issues. We can first examine this through Clinton’s history with politics. We can go all the way back to Clinton’s time at Wellesley College, where she was elected as the Student Body President. Soon after, she was accepted and graduated with honors from Yale Law School before she completed another year of graduate studies. Throughout her time in college she was very politically active and continued to be as involved on campus as possible. She soon after worked on the presidential campaigns
of Barry Goldwater (1964), George McGovern (1972) and Jimmy Carter (1976). Through these campaigns she was able to expand her knowledge on current political policies and ideas and how a campaign efficiently runs. She also had taken a summer job during 1971 for Senator Walter Mondale as the committee member for migrant workers. While Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas she chaired the Arkansas Educational Standards Committee and Co-founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. This not only shows her dedication to political issues but education policies.
“One of the 100 most powerful lawyers in America in 1988 and 1991.”
The National Law Journal named her one of the 100 most powerful lawyers in America in 1988 and 1991. She served as First Lady of the United States for 8 consecutive years. She served as US Senator for New York from 20012009 and served as the US Secretary of State from 2009-2013. Throughout all of her experiences, each has built a new path and opened more doors for her to succeed and have the most positive impact she can. She has been very successful throughout politics and has impeccable qualifications when it comes to a presidential candidate. Not only are Clinton’s qualifications important, so are her stances on current political issues. She is pro equal rights for LGBTQ Americans and she supported legislation to make marriage legal for the community. She

TRACY: Johnson would appeal to all voters
Greg Tracey staff columnist
For the last several months, I’ve been looking forward to one day. Not Independence Day and certainly not Halloween – not even Thanksgiving or Christmas. I am desperately ready for it to be Nov. 9. That’s the day the specter of the 2016 presidential election will finally pass. Somehow, the United States’ primary voters contrived to give us Donald Trump as the Republican nominee and Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee. I believe I speak for most Americans when
I look at these two candidates and think, “What the hell, America?” Am I dreaming? Well, I’ve been pinching myself for the past year, and I haven’t woken up yet. The good news for Americans of all political stripes is there is a viable alternative. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson has positions that will excite a wide variety of voters, has already been successful in executive positions and has a chance of winning. Let’s face it, at this point, no one is looking for their ideal candidate. We all just want to salvage something from this sorry election. There’s plenty to like about the Libertarian ticket no matter who you supported in the primaries. Those who stood with Bernie Sanders’ “political revolution” will see Johnson supports a number of social and domestic policies
they do. Johnson favors the legalization of marijuana, both for medicinal and recreational use. He also has a history of supporting the rights of those in the LGBT community. He intends to act boldly on criminal justice reform. A Johnson administration would do away with draconian punishments for drug possession, focusing on compassion instead. Measures like mandatory minimum sentences restrict judges and prosecutors from pursuing avenues that benefit the individual and community the most and instead, ensure overflowing prison populations. Finally, in Johnson’s America, immigrants are treated neither as disgusting and subhuman, nor as a mere political topic. They are treated as real people who just want a better life for their families and are willing to work for it.
“The good news for Americans of all political stripes is there is a viable alternative.”
For those of a more conservative tilt, it will be reassuring to know there’s a candidate in the race who’s actually a fiscal and constitutional conservative. Johnson understands a limited federal government that allows state and local governments more room to maneuver is the best government for a large and diverse country. The truth is, the needs of a resident of a large metropolitan area in southern California are not the same as those of a rancher in Texas or a suburban family in Ohio. Johnson has also stood consistently against wasteful government spending. He is the only candidate who has serious plans to reform entitlement programs like social security, which will soon be insolvent if no action is taken. He alone of the three major candidates recognizes the basic economic principles of comparative advantage and free trade — principles that have made the U.S. prosperous. I personally supported Govs. Jeb Bush and John Kasich in the primaries. Why? Not just because of their policies, but also because of their history as successful governors.

SCHLEMMER: Trump is fighting for us
Halley Schlemmer staff columnist
There are several key issues that are foremost in our country today: the economy, jobs, taxes, trade, foreign policy, gun control, violence, the budget and federal spending. Donald Trump may not be an old school conservative, but he is ready to fight for us and resolve these issues. Trump’s plans to address our economy are far superior to Clinton’s plans. Trump plans to bolster the American economy through tax and trade reform. The United States has the highest corporate income tax in the world, at 35 percent; this is a substantial burden on companies, and it drives them out of our country. Donald Trump intends to keep American business at home by lowering the marginal tax rate for corporations and individuals. According to the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan think-tank based in Washington DC, Trump’s plan will lead to higher long-run levels of GDP, higher wages and more full-time employment opportunities. The plan proposed by Trump would produce 1.8 – 2.2 million full time equivalent jobs within ten years. That means more jobs and more options for us when we graduate. Trump’s plan is projected to grow our economy by 7 or 8 percent, while Clinton’s will shrink our economy by 1 percent. Clinton’s plan gives corporations more incentives to expand into other countries, taking jobs and money away from Americans. Clinton’s tax plan is to take more money from your income to pay for the mountainous debt collected under the Obama Administration.
Foreign policy is an exceptionally crucial issue this year. Our next president will be faced with a deeply unsettled world. Power is shifting in Europe while turmoil grips the Middle East. Russia is intent on expanding and exerting power, and it’s the responsibility of the United States to ensure that our interests are protected abroad. Peace through strength is central to Trump’s foreign policy. Trump’s plan to address national security is very much aligned with the successful Reagan Doctrine. He believes that international stability is best achieved when the United States is strong and willing to use necessary force. A belief widely held by conservative Americans. Trump’s first concern, as we all know, is to make America safe again. As Trump has said numerous times this past year, he is intent on rebuilding our depleted military to the level recommended by Chiefs of Staff. He would follow the advice of his military leaders. Clinton and the Obama Administration have been unwilling to use military force to achieve stability in the Middle East. This administration has spent the last eight years dismantling our military capabilities and limiting our ability to achieve our goals. Trump is prepared to use the force necessary to combat Islamic terrorism. ISIL is Trump’s primary adversary. He will focus on
ensuring safety for the persecuted, both Muslims and Christians, by combatting the ideology of Islamic terror. Clinton will continue to use ineffective techniques to address the turmoil in the Middle East. Unrest will continue, because Clinton has proven herself unable to work with Russia and other Arab allies to produce positive resolutions. Secretary Clinton has a history of failure on the international stage, both militarily and diplomatically. Clinton, in her own words, describes relations with Russia as “at an all time low.” She admits that she failed in her attempts to reset relations with Russia. Trump has indicated he wishes to foster a new relationship with Russia in order to find a resolution and stabilize the Middle East. Russia is heavily involved in the Middle East and we will be incapable of making any positive changes without support from Moscow. In addition to a deeply unsettled world, the next president of the United States will be faced with severe division at home. As the law and order candidate, Trump will work tirelessly to ensure that each and every American has the opportunity to be self-reliant. To support our inner cities, Clinton and the Obama Administration have been utterly ineffective in promoting prosperity within inner cities. Violent crime has risen exponentially in the past three years and schools have not

seen any additional funding or resources. As President, Trump will fight to make sure every citizen has a safe home, a safe school and a safe community. Trump will ensure peace and stability in our inner cities by promoting school choice and funding for books, computers and afterschool programs. In daily speeches, Trump describes his focus on creating a positive relationship between police and civilians though community policing. From his first campaign speech, Trump’s campaign has been focused on immigration. He believes in securing American prosperities before extending our assistance abroad. Trump’s immigration plans stretch far beyond the infamous wall. Trump’s methods of securing our southern border are much in-line with how immigration was controlled during the Ellis Island era. Trump insists that every person living in the United States is documented and here legally. In addition to our southern border, Trump’s immigration policy focuses on refugee immigrants. Everyone, including Trump, wants to help those facing persecution in the Middle East; but he demands that our assistance won’t weaken our ability to keep Americans safe. Trump’s refugee policy demands that everyone immigrating to the United States has been screened for terrorist associations. There are few issues that Democrats and Republicans agree upon, but there is one issue that Trump stands for and we all agree with: Washington is not working for us. It takes a billionaire to sacrifice his own funds to disrupt the status quo of Washington DC. Change is not going to come from within the political establishment in either party. Trump loves our country, and he’s fighting in the political arena for us, the American people. HALLEY SCHLEMMER IS A SENIOR POLITICAL SCIENCE MAJOR. REACH HER ATOPINION@DAILYNEBRASKAN.

Nebraska loss reminiscent of Pelini era
Brett Nierengarten senior sports editor
On the third play of the Nebraska vs. Ohio State football game, Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong dropped back to pass. He tried to zip a ball into a small window to Jordan Westerkamp. The ball was tipped and caught by Ohio State’s Damon Webb and returned 36 yards for a touchdown. “It’s not a way you want to start a game obviously,” Nebraska senior wide receiver Jordan Westerkamp said. Ohio State’s lead swelled to 14-3, then 213, and by halftime, it was 31-3. By the time the final whistle sounded, it was 62-3 in favor of the home team. Nebraska was just handed the second worst loss in a matchup of two AP top-ten teams in school history. “That was real bad, and we’re all responsible for it,” Nebraska coach Mike Riley said. All night, Ohio State’s offensive line got a great push and opened up big holes for running backs Mike Weber and Curtis Samuel. And when the Buckeyes weren’t running, they were passing. When Nebraska was lucky enough to get a little pressure, quarterback J.T. Barrett escaped and extended the play. When Nebraska got the ball, it struggled to get any push, and on many drives, if you looked down for a minute, punter Caleb Lightbourn was already on the field, kicking the ball away to Ohio State. And the Buckeyes would just march down the field again - the only kicks OSU punter Cameron Johnston had were warmups. It was a big game and a big loss for NU. Anyone seen this before? Anyone? Nebraska’s loss to Ohio State was bad, ugly, terrible, horrible, no good and every other negative adjective you can think of, and it all looked very familiar. In what could’ve been the game that shifted Nebraska’s fortunes from years of being slightly above average to competing for conference titles, Mike Riley’s team looked a lot like those Bo Pelini used to trot onto the field in big matchups. Mike Riley and Bo Pelini are different in almost every way imaginable, but Saturday in Columbus, the two were interchangeable. Like Pelini, who got blown out in his share of important games, Riley’s team got beat up, outplayed and appeared severely overmatched on the road against the No. 6 team in the country.
“We were beaten thoroughly in all of the phases, and it really didn’t remind me of our team,” Riley said. With Pelini, fans came to expect it, which is probably the worst part of this loss. This one, no one really saw coming. Some probably expected a loss, but not like this - not one of this magnitude. Not one against a team that had been favored by double digits in its previous three games and hadn’t covered the spread once. Not one after Nebraska proved by all accounts that it was for real after taking Wisconsin to overtime in Camp Randall the week before. Not one when you started 7-0 and were the No. 10 team in the country.
julian tirtadjaja | dn
And certainly not one when Mike Riley was your head coach. There was no way to see this one coming. Everyone thought Nebraska was past this. “This game came out of the blue to me,” Riley said. “And it really didn’t remind me of our team.” No matter who Riley played in his first two season at Nebraska, he had never been blown out. His worst loss was by 10 points on the road against Purdue last Halloween. Saturday, that changed - in a big way. “We didn’t come to play football today,” Nebraska senior safety Nate Gerry said. “Just bad football on our part.” When Pelini left in 2014, Nebraska fans thought the days of losing 59-24, 48-17 and
70-31 to Wisconsin were gone. Nebraska fans thought the days of losing to Michigan 45-17 were gone. Nebraska fans thought the days of allowing 41 unanswered to UCLA were gone. “It’s college football - it could happen; it could not happen,” Westerkamp said. “It’s just how the cards fell tonight.” Now, the Huskers can add a new blowout to the list: a 62-3 primetime thumping by Ohio State with a chance to control their own destiny for the Big Ten championship and potentially, the College Football Playoff on the line.

NU women’s basketball struggles in exhibition win David Stover DN ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
Nebraska sophomore forward Jessica Shepard picked up where she left off last season, as her 30 points and 13 rebounds leads the Nebraska women’s basketball team over Southwest Baptist 73-71 in its exhibition opener. Despite Shepard’s strong offensive productivity, Nebraska struggled taking care of the basketball. The Huskers turned the

ball over 19 times. “There were times we took too long to get into the play they wanted us in,” Shepard said. “A lot of times, we didn’t have five people on the same page.” NU trailed Southwest Baptist at the end of the first quarter, as it only shot 31 percent from the field to Southwest Baptist’s 43 percent. Shepard scored more than two thirds of NU points in the first quarter, as she went 4-7 from the field. “That first quarter, everyone has the jitters, everyone’s nervous,” Shepard said, “especially the younger kids.” The Huskers made adjustments in the second quarter, and went to a zone defense. Southwest Baptist proceeded to turn the ball over six times, and Nebraska went on a 28-13 run. “We were getting the shots our coaches wanted us to get,” Shepard said. “We ran the break better, and we took our time until we got a good, open shot.” At the half, Southwest Baptist made an adjustment, switching to a 2-3 zone. “We got very, very stagnant,” Nebraska coach Amy Williams said. “Way too many turnovers in the second half, and gave them
way too many points off turnovers.” Southwest Baptist scored 13 points off Nebraska’s turnovers in the second half, and cut the deficit from 11 points to five points, and eventually down to two points. “We continued to make the same error over and over, and all we needed to do was to make a little pass fake,” Shepard said. Coach Williams said Nebraska’s struggles down the stretch were due to a lack of poise and pacing, qualities she said, would be fixed. Nebraska turned the ball over 12 times in the second half. Southwest Baptist’s Alex Botkin and Megan Rosenbohm finished with 18 and 19 points, respectively. Botkin and Rosenbohm were a combined 4-7 from beyond the arc to Nebraska’s 3-13 shooting performance from three. Nebraska senior center Allie Havers finished as the Huskers’ second leading scorer with 14 points, six rebounds, one assist and one steal. Freshman guard Rylie Cascio Jensen finished with seven points, and junior guard Jasmine Cincore finished with four points, three assists, one block and two steals.

Buckeyes blast Huskers at the Horseshoe Brett Nierengarten SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR
On the Nebraska football team’s third play in its game against Ohio State, quarterback Tommy Armstrong’s pass was intercepted by Damon Webb and returned 36 yards for an Ohio State touchdown. The Buckeyes never trailed, and after the second quarter, never led by less than double digits en route to a 62-3 win against Nebraska, which was the second worst loss in NU history and the second most lopsided matchup in a game between two AP top-10 teams. Ohio State scored on its first eight possessions (the game ended during its ninth), including four touchdown passes from quarterback J.T. Barrett. The first one came when Barrett found Terry McLaurin on third-and-goal from the seven-yard line with 3:16 left in the first quarter to put the Buckeyes up 14-3. Right before the half, Barrett found Curtis Samuel on a one-yard jump pass to bring the OSU lead to 31-3. On the final drive of the half, Ohio State went 85 yards on 15 plays in 3:39. Nebraska coach Mike Riley said the message at halftime wasn’t so much about schematic changes but more about playing with better fundamentals. But the second half wasn’t any better. Samuel scored on a 75-yard strike from Barrett on the first play of the third quarter. Samuel, Ohio State’s do-everything guy
julian tirtadjaja | dn
on offense, finished the game with eight catches for 137 yards and those two touchdowns, as well as five carries for 41 yards. Not to be outdone, Barrett was 26-of-38 for 290 yards and four scores. The junior also ran eight times for 39 yards. “When he has a good day, the offense has a good day, and he had a real good day,” Nebraska senior safety Nate Gerry said. As a unit, the Buckeyes racked up 590 total yards to NU’s 204. “We really couldn’t do a lot offensively and couldn’t get them off the field defensively,” Riley said. For Nebraska, Armstrong, who left the game on a stretcher late in the second quarter, was 4-of-15 for 74 yards. Armstrong was taken to the hospital but was released within the hour. His status for next week is still unknown, according to Riley. In relief of Armstrong, Ryker Fyfe was 5-of-18 for 52 yards. Like Armstrong, Fyfe also threw a pick-6. The backup quarterback’s was courtesy of Malik Hooker, who gave Ohio State a 55-3 lead late in the third quarter. Riley said that the offensive problems for Nebraska have been apparent for awhile and that to get back on track, it needs to run the ball better. Riley ended his press conference by saying he believes the team will respond well, and he still believes Nebraska can win the Big Ten West, which it no longer controls its own destiny in.

TRACEY: FROM PAGE 10 After all, a governor is essentially the president of his or her state. Johnson served as governor of New Mexico from 1995 to 2003, winning re-election as a Republican in a solidly blue state. But can a Libertarian ticket win? That’s the first question most people have for me. So many people say they would vote for a third-party candidate only if that candidate only had a chance. If everyone who said that voted third party, than that third party would most definitely have a chance. This can happen. Just look at the astonishingly high unfavorable ratings of both candidates and at how few people trust them. People might tell you to vote for the can-

opposes using “religious freedom” to justify cutting access to healthcare and increase discrimination. Throughout her time in politics, she has understood and studied economic inequality and wants continues to work on fixing it. Clinton believes that all people should be vaccinated and doesn’t agree with antivaccine campaigns. She has continually supported increased gun control and understands the criminal justice system, how it is broken and how we can continue to improve it. She wants to do away with Citizens United and she is a huge supporter of American jobs and workers. She understands that there is a lot of inequality from gender to race within the United States and wants to work on closing the gap and create widespread equality. If there is one thing that Clinton is widely known for, it is supporting is education reform. She has always held education near and dear to her heart and has always believed in creating a better future for our youth. She stated on March 10th of 2016, “Education should be the great door opener, and yet we know it often doesn’t turn out that way. I think every child in this country deserves a good teacher in a good school, regardless of the ZIP code you live in.” Education is a major focus for Clinton’s campaign, and she will continue to focus and discuss the need for improvement among our
education system here in the United States. Hillary Clinton is pro-choice when it comes to abortion and is a huge advocate in women’s health and Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood and women’s health are things that are in need of more information and representation. Clinton has done a lot with these issues. Her foundation and community service has given back to these areas, not only helping in advancing these areas but creating a safer place for tomorrow. Even if you don’t agree with all of Clinton’s stances, it is important to find a candidate that you can match with the most, as well as find a candidate who has the same values as you. Clinton has had many different experiences and qualifications throughout her lifetime, and she will continue to strive within the politics. Her history in foreign policy, domestic issues and political climate throughout the United States truly sets her apart from other candidates. Clinton is a name that the American people are going to hear for a long time, and it is time we look at why she has made such an impact on our society.
