EDITOR’S LETTER

ISSUE N° 4 Dear readers, As final preparations are made on Thanksgiving Day and the aroma of turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy hangs over the table, a moment of anticipation settles in the air. Nestled between the hectic food preparation and the ravenous desire to dive into the meal, this moment is when we consider, and then share, what we’re thankful for.

In that moment, we reflect on our lives and ponder what merits our gratitude. Typical responses range from “our troops” to good health to having an abundance of food available.

STAFF my life. My growth in my faith in college is largely thanks to both of you.

editor - in - chief

AIDAN CONNOLLY managing editor

There are plenty of other people I could include in here, but I’ll have to save that for Thanksgiving.

It is easy to fall into a habit of taking people for granted. We don’t do this maliciously; we just get used to their presence in our lives, and neglect the practice of outwardly showing gratitude.

Use this Thanksgiving to change that.

Sincerely yours,

Talent to spare GABRIEL VEGAS VALENTE STAFF WRITER As of Oct. 14, 2017, Memorial Stadium has been sold out for 360 consecutive football games — a streak dating back to 1962.

And as the pride of all Nebraska, other sports typically take a back seat to the football team.

“I can’t sell space heaters to Eskimos,” Straub said.

But another sport takes the crown as the most successful athletic program in school history.

Though he doesn’t trust his personal marketing much, his status in college bowling is one to be praised.

The Nebraska bowling team has created a legacy — albeit a relatively unrecognized one.

“Our reputation, my assistant coach and myself ... we have reputation of making people better players,”

Ten national titles, including five since the sport became NCAA-sanctioned in 2003, certify it as one of the top programs in the nation.

“There are 7 billion people in the world; 6.9 and change billion either think [bowling] is not a sport, or don’t care about it,” Nebraska bowling head coach Bill Straub said. “Bowling’s image is not nearly what is deserved. It is not viewed as a sport.”

While the main idea of the sport — throwing a ball to strike the pins at the end of the lane — seems simple, bowling requires a strategic approach focused around the intricacies of the game.

Straub said a simple half-inch movement of where the three finger holes are placed in the bowling ball or the lane’s surface could change the score of the game drastically.

One of Straub’s current coaching successes on the team is senior Julia Bond. While Bond has experienced an impressive amount of success, she originally started bowling as a recreational activity. But with coaching from Straub, Bond was named to Team USA and is one of the best bowlers in the country.

“I started to bowl with my dad,” Bond said in an interview with The Daily Nebraskan in March 2017. “Eventually, as I went a few times, I started to get the hang of it. The owner of a shop in the bowling alley, who also gave lessons, talked with me and my dad to see if I was interested in taking them, and I said ‘yes.’”

Eventually, Bond started to bowl in high school and became one of the top recruits in the country.

Bond, like many other qualified high school bowlers in the nation, had Nebraska at the top of her list.

As the team’s head coach, Straub is tasked with convincing these athletes to come to Nebraska. Despite being a significant part of his job, Straub said recruiting is not his strong suit.

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2017

Straub said. “Even though my sales skills are horrendous, I don’t think my teaching skills are that bad.”

Bond remembers being recruited and why she chose to join the Huskers. Straub said she had the talent to bowl at any school she wanted to.

“It all came down to where I felt I could be the most successful, and where I could be the bowler I know I could be,” Bond said. “Nebraska was at the top of that list. I knew this was going to be the place where I would become a better person overall and a better bowler.”

A conversation with Straub rarely goes by without a comparison of bowling to other sports, such as golf, basketball and tennis.

“I think every sport is the same,” Straub said. “Every sport that involves kicking a ball or throwing a ball, it has the same basic fundamental needs. From 1980 until today, I did my best to look at all the other sports out there and how they all connect.”

Straub tries to simplify movements as much as possible and have his players repeat them relentlessly.

His training methods have always been the same, and he believes that’s been a key component of his teams’ success.

Straub remembers a conversation he had with Nebraska men’s golf head coach Bill Spangler, in which they talked about Bobby Jones, the king of golf in the 1930s.

“If Bobby Jones were alive today, would he play the game differently?” Straub asked Spangler. The golf coach responded, “Why would you play differently?

The game didn’t change.”

Straub is often asked how the Husker bowling program became so successful. The first step is to explain he didn’t think he would become a coach.

The Lincoln native was on the men’s professional tour in the mid-’80s, earning more honors and titles than any other bowler from the state of Nebraska. He is an inductee of the Nebraska Bowling Hall of Fame, the Omaha Bowling Hall of Fame and the Lincoln Bowling Hall of Fame.

F. Austin by a score of 4-2 at Tropicana Lanes in St. Louis. Bond, a freshman at the time, was named the tournament’s most valuable player.

Ultimately, Straub found his way to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln after a friend he made on tour asked him to help coach the team along with a graduate student. After a year, the graduate student wasn’t there anymore, requiring him to take over the position by himself.

“The key to staying successful is not how hard you have to work to get to be that good,” Straub said.

“It’s how [much] fundamentally harder you have to work to stay that good,” Straub said, quoting Rod Laver, an Australian tennis player and one of the greatest in the history of the sport.

Before taking charge of the Huskers, Straub did research about coaches he thought could be good role models for him. Two got his attention: former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden and former Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight.

Looking at the walls of the Huskers’ practice facility on East Campus, Straub gazes at the section where seven athletes are honored as national collegiate bowler of the year. He points to the second space on bottom row, which is blank.

“I thought they knew more about how to transfer whatever skill you have to being as good as you could at that endeavor as possible,” Straub said. “I tried my best to teach what I learned as they taught.”

“On the bottom row, the second picture that is blank, we are looking forward to [Julia Bond taking that spot],” Straub said. “She’s got a real good chance of it. She’s never played better in her life than she’s playing right now.”

It resulted in unprecedented success. Since 1996, when he became the Huskers’ coach, Nebraska has won national titles in 1997, 1999, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2009, 2013 and 2015.

After 10 national titles, it may seem like there isn’t more work for Nebraska’s bowling program to do. But Straub approaches coaching with the exact opposite mindset.

In the Huskers’ 2015 NCAA Championship match, broadcast live on ESPN, Nebraska defeated Stephen

“Once you reach the pinnacle, that’s when the work starts,” Straub said. “Determination is not wanting to be the best, it’s staying the best.”

Straub credits much of his success to his coaching philosophy.

The legacy of Ed Weir WILL STONE STAFF WRITER On a fall Saturday many decades ago in Lincoln, Nebraska, a young boy with a gunnysack made his way around Memorial Stadium picking up the refuse left behind by the hordes of long-departed fans.

For Weir III, the tie to Weir is stronger than that of a grandfather to a grandson. They share the same name, so there’s a certain level of respect, expectation and responsibility that comes with it.

His name is Ed Weir III, and he was not the only one in the stadium after the game.

“I’d introduce myself as Ed Weir, and that would rattle around their bean and they’d say, ‘Ed Weir?’ and I’d go, ‘It’s probably my grandfather you’re thinking of,’ ‘Oh I saw him play!’” Weir III said. “You’re kind of living in the shadow of a legend with the name.”

There were eight or 10 boys in Weir III’s family, not including himself. Each child was assigned a row to help clean up the stadium. They would repeat this unpleasant tradition frequently growing up.

That’s an integral part of who Weir III is today. He said the memories of cleaning the “booze, vomit and crap” fans thoughtlessly left behind oddly don’t trigger any malice in Weir’s heart when he now catches a glimpse of Memorial Stadium.

“It’s woven into the fabric of who I am,” Weir III said.

“That silly stadium, I’ve watched it grow from a notwhole section to this megalith that it is now, but I’m still very attached to it.”

The attachment stemmed from his grandfather, Samuel Edwin “Ed” Weir. The elder Weir played football for both the Huskers and in the NFL for the Frankford Yellow Jackets. He was the first Nebraska alumnus inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, and he saw his own jersey retired by the football program during the first game of the 2017 season against Arkansas State.

Most of Weir III’s memories of his grandfather involve football, track and coaching techniques the famous coach would share with him. But one personal memory that stuck out stemmed from another pastime they shared.

“We’d watch a lot of baseball; that was boring as hell for a seven-year-old,” Weir III said. “I know that I bet against him one game. I bet a dollar, and my team won. You couldn’t pry a dollar bill out of his wallet.

My grandmother was furious. She said, ‘Pay your grandson!’ and he kind of harrumphed and I don’t think I ever got the buck.”

He didn’t get the dollar then, but his wife Pam said when it came time for their children to go to college, Weir made sure that they were financially able to provide their kids with a solid education.

Not only was the first Weir a fine gentleman who kept his nose clean and brought glory to his family and name, he was a living legend whose life seemed scripted, with each storyline one-upping the last in impossibly humorous ways.

For instance, after his retirement from coaching, Weir was driving to the university when he passed out at the wheel, smashed into a house and shattered his hip, leaving him with a limp for the rest of his life.

After the accident, his family took the car away and replaced it with a motorcycle and sidecar attached for stability reasons. He proceeded to crash it into one of the islands in the middle of the road and rolled it.

At the time, he was 60 years old.

But it gets better. The motorcycle would later be swapped for a regular bicycle. At some point in his early 70s, Weir was riding to campus when someone exiting a parked car swung their door right into his front tire and sent him sprawling. Then, as only Weir could do, he hopped up and asked the vehicle’s occupant if they were okay.

In addition to these stories is a long list of other moments. One of which involves Harry Stuhldreher, Don Miller, Jim Crowley and Elmer Layden — the famous “Four Horsemen” who made up the iconic Notre Dame backfield in the early 1920s. That group lost two games in their college careers, and both losses came at the hands of Nebraska squads which had Weir on their rosters.

“IT’S WOVEN INTO THE FABRIC OF WHO I AM”

As the story goes, they were doing a book signing one day, and Weir just walked up, sat down at the table, and started signing right along with them. One of the most prolific offensive groups in college football

history just accepted him into their group. That was the kind of person Weir was.

Weir III is not the only relative of the legendary coach who has lasting impressions from their interactions.

For Cathy Renk, granddaughter of Weir, it isn’t stadium cleanup, but scrapbook viewings, cribbage games and a box of letters that tie her to her grandfather.

“When we would stay with [Weir] and Martha, we would come to town and he would sit down with us and go through all of his scrapbooks,” Renk said.

She recalled a certain fascination with the books, as she, an athlete herself, soaked in all the glory and accomplishments he amassed in his life. At the time, she said she didn’t quite understand just what Weir meant to the university and the sporting community as a whole, but she would come to learn.

“I still remember like it was yesterday, the day they dedicated the track to him, and I said to myself, ‘Wow he’s really kind of a big deal,’” Renk said.

Though he didn’t need to fill the role of coach in his down time, Weir stayed ever the competitor. He carried around a ledger in which he tracked, according to Renk, over 20 years of cribbage match outcomes, even bringing it to family reunions so he could keep up with his statistics.

For Renk, though, those were just surface memories.

She came to understand a much deeper, personal side of Weir after his death in 1991.

16

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2017

As Renk and other members of the family sorted through his possessions, they came across a box of letters, all either written or received by Weir, to or from young men he’d recruited or coached while they were away, drafted into the military during World War II. Renk and Weir III both spoke of the reservation Weir showed, saying he never was the type to show much affection. He wasn’t one to take it easy on any of his family members, or even really invest in the lives of his children or grandchildren.

Those letters revealed a different side of him. Weir expressed a genuine interest in the men, asking about their lives in the military, asking if they needed anything from him. They all replied with their running times and athletic accomplishments. One asked about the Nebraska track jackets, hoping to have one sent to him. Weir replied that they’d be in shortly and he’d make sure he got one.

“It was an insight into him that I had never seen before,” Renk said. “He cared so much about them, not only as athletes, but as men, and I hadn’t seen that side of him. That man lived and breathed for the university and his student-athletes. Some of them never came back, and that was devastating for him.”

In the mix of the letters is a thread between him and a man named Allen Zikmund. Weir recruited him and he played football for the Husker team that won the Rose Bowl in 1941. During WWII, he was drafted into the military. Even though he’d already used his eligibility, and Weir stood to gain nothing from continued contact, he sent letters, showing the genuine care he had for his players.

Zikmund returned from fighting overseas and became the athletic director at the University of Nebraska at Kearney before being inducted into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame in 1977.

In Weir’s lifetime, he accrued a laundry list of accolades and received praise from some of the best to ever play, watch and analyze football. But, he was more than just the first two-time All-American in Nebraska history; he was more than a legendary coach.

He embodied the Nebraska spirit in a way that very few ever have before, or ever will again.

Keeping the faith JACOB RIX STAFF WRITER Many athletes at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln cite faith as a motivation behind their drive to compete. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is one organization that brings faith to athletics.

FCA displayed a long, enriched history of impacting coaches and athletes from a college to high school level across the state. FCA was founded nationally in 1954 by former Eastern Oklahoma University basketball head coach Don McClanen. The vision McClanen had set forth for FCA is to “see the world impacted by Jesus Christ through the coaches and athletes,” according to its website.

In 1956, FCA held its first ever national conference in Estes Park, Colorado. Out of 256 coaches and athletes registered for the conference, a man named Tom Osborne, who was a two-sport athlete at Hastings College at the time, decided to attend the conference.

Last year, at a New Year’s church conference, Osborne said he credits the event as the first time he truly embraced his faith as an independent individual. From that point on, Osborne said he learned to give into discipline in all areas of life and see the difference between partial and full commitment. Osborne was instrumental to the FCA, as he volunteered on the board for countless years. This left Osborne inspired to create the TeamMates Mentoring of Lincoln program in 1991 to help middle schoolers succeed in their higher education.

The 1970s were pivotal years for FCA. The organization began to see growth across the state of Nebraska, and Wendell Conover became the organization’s first state director in 1976. Conover envisioned Husker athletes as the backbone to the program. FCA also started allowing the college athletes to work with high school students to form certified Bible studies, called “huddles,” with the students.

The following year in 1977, the first campus FCA was organized at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The Bible study initially consisted of four men on the football team and rugby team: Gordon Thiessen (defensive end ‘75-’80), George Andrews (co-captain defensive end ‘74-’78), Doug Peterson (former Husker rugby player) and Craig Bohl (defensive back ‘77-’79). Together, these college athletes actively volunteered around the community and established huddles across Lincoln.

In 1978, the group increased to 20 members as Husker athletes from other sports were invited to join. Other notable Husker football players followed throughout the decades including Tom Sorley (co-captain quarterback ‘75Photos - Karissa Schmidt

18

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2017

’78), Todd Brown (wide receiver ‘78-’82), Brook Berringer (quarterback ‘91-’95), Rex Burkhead (running back ‘09’12) and many more who were actively involved with FCA. As for the four original members, three of them went on to pursue professional careers. Bohl is now the current Wyoming football head coach, Andrews is a retired Los Angeles Rams linebacker and Peterson is a current Nebraska attorney general. However, Thiessen continued to be a part of the FCA as a senior staff member for over 30 years. Later, he founded Cross Training Publishing, where he publishes and sells books that prepare coaches for the mission field.

Throughout Thiessen’s career working with athletes, one of many players that stood out to him was Roy Helu Jr. (running back ‘07-‘10), who exemplified what Thiessen thought a Christian athlete should be.

Considering the FCA’s intriguing history of numerous outstanding Husker football players from the past who supported the organization, several players on today’s roster carry on the support for the organization. Current junior football walk-on Bo Kitrell was familiar with the FCA at a young age as his father, Barry Kitrell, an NU fullback in the 1980s, was an active member in the organization.

Bo Kitrell credited one of his former teammates, Graham Nabity, for getting him involved right away as a freshman.

Bo Kitrell said being a walk-on can be challenging in today’s college football, and knowing that playing time is not guaranteed has driven his faith.

Kitrell, originally from Ashland, Nebraska, said he aims to make differences in the lives around him on and off the field. He regularly prays in the south end zone and in a huddle at midfield after a win or loss. This sparked great conversation in the locker room and has created a stronger bond between teammates.

Kitrell said he disagrees with the stereotype that football players need to be angry and aggressive in order to be good players.

“We should play intense whistle to whistle, but not being arrogant,” Kitrell said.

“At the same time it is about giving it your all on the field.”

Senior wideout Gabe Rahn took initiative this season to take over the leadership role for prayer huddles at the end of every game.

“This is by far the biggest honor I have had at Nebraska, and [I] consider my prayer at the end of the game more

DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

19

important than football or anything else here,” Rahn said.

Rahn, who is part of FCA, said the staff prepared him well to take on this role that requires stepping out of the comfort zone as a Christian athlete.

Kitrell said it was possible he might succeed Rahn and take up the prayer huddle responsibilities for next season.

Both Rahn and Kitrell said they look to their mentor Robbie Trent, FCA Lincoln-area representative, for continued growth in their faith and influential guidance.

Other athletes outside of the football program, such as men’s cross-country senior captain Austin Post, also said FCA has made an impact on them throughout college.

“FCA has given me an outlet to connect with Christ and see how he truly works in my life through athletics,” Post said. “Through FCA, I have been able to grow with a community of believers that challenge me to pursue Christ in all aspects of life.”

Post said faith plays a tremendous role in his workouts and competitive races. The consistent training requires heavy discipline and understanding that time cannot be replaced.

For Rahn, Kitrell and Post, faith is a No. 1 priority, and they want to use the talents given to them to glorify Christ, whether that is on the football field or the cross-country course. All three were also previously listed on the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team for their contributions to the community and campus.

The most notable Nebraska FCA event the Husker athletes are familiar with is the Weekend of Champions held at the beginning of November every year. Many of the college

20

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2017

huddle leaders and FCA staff gather at the Grand Island High School to help teach how to integrate a Christ-like mentality into sports. Most importantly to have fun as it is a get-away for most high schoolers.

Every Wednesday, the Husker athletes meet for leadership and lunch hour ministry meetings in the Training Table conference room.

Not only Husker athletes were inspired to participate in FCA but Husker coaching staff as well. A notable coach is Ron Brown (former receivers coach) who became the FCA’s Nebraska-state director in 2004 and continues to support FCA nationally as he is currently working under Head Coach Turner Gill (quarterback ‘81-’83) at Liberty.

Turner Gill credits Todd Brown, as mentioned above, for influencing him to join the FCA that has helped Gill become the coach he is today.

Since the 1970s to present day, the number of huddles has increased to approximately 200 across most of the state. As growth stayed relatively steady within the last decade, Thissen said the future for FCA will be more geared toward strengthening the coaching ministry and increasing the staff.

“The huddles will not be abandoned, but with the increase in staff, there is a need to train more coaches going forward in the state of Nebraska,” Thiessen said.

FCA not only will continue to put the focus toward making an impact on young adults, but establish the relationships at hand that last a lifetime. For the Husker athletes and coaches of each generation, their careers may end but the FCA family connection they have never ends.

“Football is only temporary, but God is forever,” Kitrell said.

he biggest clothing trend for the Fall/Winter season of 2017 is big, brown and rustic. If you want an extreme example of the look I’m referring to, take inspiration from the 2015 blockbuster “The Revenant.”

2017 22 PhotoNOVEMBER/DECEMBER - Ann Milroy

Of course, many of us won’t be rocking the 19th century fur-trapper look. But you can add in a few more earthy or rough-textured clothes and pretend you’re on a hike through the cold, harsh wilderness as you walk to your classes.

Last year, large brown overcoats were the hit outerwear piece of the season for Saint Laurent and Ami. This year, that trend is expected to return, but that motif of natural colors and textures will expand, influencing more than just jackets.

This almost garners feelings of nostalgia from the folk explosion a few years back — think around the time that growing a beard became cool and Mumford and Sons’ song “I Will Wait” climbed the charts. Everyone started busting out flannels and replacing synthetic fabrics for wool or heavy cotton on winter coats. It seems like something similar is happening now.

The artificial fabrics of streetwear are being replaced by the natural, occasionally animal-like clothing with this new wave of fashion.

This trend was seen on the Fall/Winter 2017 men’s runway shows of Bottega Veneta, Belstaff, Stella McCartney and Prada. Of course, it appeared in different ways. Stella McCartney gave us the look in more of a city-slicker style, adding a more polished appearance, whereas Prada offered a much more backcountry view of the same style, focusing heavily on lush furs and leather-centric outfits.

Traditionally, trends that start on the runways are birthed when designers start to show similarities in the clothes presented, and that general style becomes available at an affordable price a year or so later. This trend is different.

typical black that’s expected of winter clothes.

Personally, I’m guilty of obsessing over black clothing whenever the temperature starts to drop. As a result, my wardrobe usually gets a little more dressy. My winter outfit consists of a peacoat, dress shoes and black skinny jeans. It’s chic and sophisticated, but it starts to feel like a uniform I slip into like a bad habit.

That might be my main reason for experimenting with this recent obsession of big, brown clothes; it’s a step away from that attire.

There’s also a good deal of freedom since the style is based around elements like fur and natural colors, and not a concrete image. I’ve seen the style taken in a 1970s-inspired route to more modern approaches, which makes the look highly adaptable. A large brown furry coat here and some leather boots there, and that’s pretty much it. You could even just apply these elements to dressier attire to give the look a classier spin.

So what does this mean for fashion holistically going forward? Well, think of this trend as a cleansing, a restart.

Streetwear has been the king style since around the time Drake released his “Hotline Bling” video in late 2015, which featured him in street-ready threads.

Since then, streetwear has been a major influence on designers, music and consumerism, but this trend changes that. What we see in this look are classic pieces: bomber jackets, overcoats, earthy-toned sweaters, suede boots.

WHAT WE SEE IN THIS LOOK ARE CLASSIC PIECES: BOMBER JACKETS, OVERCOATS, EARTHY-TONED SWEATERS, SUEDE BOOTS.

This rustic look has already become available to the general public, and affordable retailers are beginning to add large, furry coats and sweaters to their

I think you could interpret this new, big and natural style as fashion’s rejection of streetwear. The two looks couldn’t be more opposite, and design-

Fall/Winter collections. H&M recently released “The New Rugged” collection, which is full of pile-collared bombers, leather boots and earthy-toned sweaters and flannels.

ers and retailers seem to be drawn toward this. This means streetwear could be taking a backseat this season.

Zara, in its “Autumn Tones” collection, took the style, but toned it down with posh silhouettes and beanies, which added an urban flair.

Is this a good thing for fashion? Possibly. While streetwear has been one of the most innovative trends as of late, some have argued that the style has become too focused on the flaunting of brands rather than actual style. Those opposed to streetwear see the garish labels and the pounds upon pounds of jewelry as artless and more focused on displays of wealth.

Another factor that separates this style from past winter looks is its color palette. Often, when winter rolls around, the clothes begin to adopt neutral tones. The same can be applied to this style, but the neutrals this time aren’t just black, gray or that swamp green color. Instead, the color that popped up the most during the men’s Fall/Winter 2017 shows was a hearty rust color — think a deep brown with a slight hint of red. The look is also heavy with browns and other neutrals, but it tends to stay away from the

This trend will resettle a lot of that materialism. The classics will become the style again; natural materials will become more popular. After we get tired of that, the new experimental thing will come along and the process will repeat itself.

POINT

Black Friday boosts sales and shoppers’ spirits THE OPINION OF EMILY STRASSBURGER STAFF COLUMNIST The day after Thanksgiving is some people’s favorite day and other people’s worst nightmare. Thousands of people flock to their local shopping mall in pursuit of finding an amazing deal (or 20) after they spent the holiday remembering everything they’re grateful for.

As someone who has worked in the retail industry on Black Friday, I know this misunderstood event all too well. Although there are some negative aspects associated with Black Friday, overall, it’s really not as bad as it seems.

Black Friday is generally beneficial for consumers, businesses and the economy as a whole.

One of the biggest criticisms of Black Friday is that it isn’t worth the time or effort, and the deals aren’t always that great. With the advent of Cyber Monday and Amazon, you can certainly find great deals online.

However, in reality, you do get some of the best deals by going out on Black Friday. You just have to shop intelligently. Video games, appliances and furniture are some of the most discounted categories you can find. On the contrary, clothes and jewelry are generally the least discounted. Some of the most popular stores, like Macy’s and JCPenney, have average discounts of 60 percent.

Black Friday has also become more convenient for consumers due to the change in stores’ hours. Most stores open at 5 p.m. or later, instead of opening up at midnight or later. This allows consumers to cele-

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2017

brate Thanksgiving all day with their families, shop afterward and get a decent night’s sleep, too.

The original intent of Black Friday was to put businesses back into the black for the year, and for the most part, this still holds true. Black Friday is often depended on by businesses, as it’s the biggest shopping day of the year. In addition, holiday sales can increase sales all around. Plus, returns are relatively rare. Nearly 75 percent of adults didn’t return any of the items they purchased in 2016.

Even if you don’t always get the best deals, Black Friday is still a fun social event. Sure, it’s a little ironic that we’re heading in droves to shops right after giving thanks for everything in our lives, but there’s a certain shared enjoyment to shopping past normal store hours with friends and justifying your purchases with the good deals.

Lastly, Black Friday is beneficial for the economy. Although this may seem like a no-brainer, people often overlook it. Every holiday season, extra workers are hired, increasing the employment rate. In addition, there is usually a wage increase associated with the holiday season. In 2016, America’s income level was at an all-time high.

The pros certainly outweigh the cons when it comes to Black Friday. If someone who has worked retail on the day can still appreciate it, you should also be able to.

COUNTERPOINT

Black Friday sales are bleak — don’t waste your time THE OPINION OF SYDNEY OZUNA STAFF COLUMNIST It remains the biggest shopping day of the year, but Black Friday isn’t nearly as important as it used to be, and for good reason. With underwhelming sales available for extended periods of time, deals available online from the comfort of one’s home and the timing causing the early dispersion of a beloved holiday, Black Friday really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

The bargains people flock to are not exclusive to Black Friday. The awesome deal you found on that toy your little brother wants? It’ll be available every day leading up to Christmas Eve. Dozens of major retailers like Toys R Us, Sears and Best Buy have sales throughout the entire holiday season, meaning going out at midnight with a food baby to fight other shoppers is completely unnecessary.

Black Friday diehards point to doorbusters as the best deals of the year. While getting coveted items at decreased prices might be worth it for some, non-violent bargain hunters unwilling to forego all of Thanksgiving for a chance at a doorbuster deal are out of luck.

Avoiding the crowd and going later ensures a more relaxing shopping experience while also making you a smarter shopper. Sales make people much more likely to decide a purchase is worth it and in high adrenaline shopping situations, consumers have a tendency to go into a buying frenzy. At this point, the purpose of a sale is defeated. Going after the rush, when you can take time to price check and consider

the importance of each purchase, helps eliminate buyer’s remorse and ensure money well spent.

Despite Black Friday’s status as the biggest shopping day of the year, it’s not the best one. On the contrary, depending on the category, deals are much better on other days of the year. Toys, for example, are best to buy nine to 10 days before Christmas. Planning which items to buy and shopping at the appropriate time will drastically decrease your chances of being trampled and save you money.

Online shopping provides more opportunities for sales than malls, as it’s easy to go from store to store to find the best deal on an item. The internet has its own Black Friday of sorts, Cyber Monday, which has become one of the year’s largest shopping events. Not only does Cyber Monday offer many of the same deals as Black Friday, but for a wider array of products than in store and with the ability to stay home.

Every anti-Black Friday killjoy out there has brought up destruction of family values in lieu of consumer greed, but despite the cliche, it does exist. While the sales themselves are mediocre at best, this is hardly the worst thing about Black Friday. Department store workers are required to spend their Thanksgiving preparing the store for people who would rather brawl over TVs than enjoy being with one another’s company.

Stay home, eat some pie and leave the shopping for another day. You won’t be missing much.

OUT WITH A BANG JOHN GRINVALDS STAFF WRITER Two dorms that shaped the life of nearly 1,000 University of Nebraska-Lincoln students every year from 1963 to 2017 will be reduced to rubble and memory on Dec. 22, 2017.

In line with venerating the history of those two women, each of Pound’s 12 residential floors were dedicated to famous women in honor of their various contributions to society.

According to a press release from February 1962, when the $4.65 million construction plans were approved, the Cather and Pound residence halls were set to be a couple of the most modern and advanced structures on campus.

In many regards, the sister dorms were ahead of their time, according to Hardin. UNL’s administration even gave students the opportunity to help shape each dorm’s designs.

“The twin dormitory towers will be the first multi-storied buildings to be constructed on the Lincoln City Campus,” the press release said.

Given a time crunch, the Board of Regents took steps to incentivize contractors by offering an extra $90,000 (about $738,000 in today’s money) for any firm that could complete construction of the two dorms in just 17 months.

Architectural firm Davis & Wilson, the company responsible for the construction of the Nebraska Union, Memorial Stadium and other staples of UNL’s campus, took on the challenge.

Cather and Pound made a home for students “like none they had ever known before,” according to a Pound handbook for the 1969-70 academic year.

“You will laugh in it, yell in it, cry in it, and remember it fondly no matter where your home may be, for the rest of your life,” the handbook said.

Now, the two buildings will be left to memory alone.

Construction began on March 19, 1962, and finished in the scheduled 17-month time window. By fall 1963, Cather’s and Pound’s 13 floors dominated UNL’s skyline.

When new and improved housing centers sprang up across the campus, the hulking dorms became remnants of a bygone era.

The dorms were born of necessity, according to Clifford M. Hardin, chancellor of the university from 1954-68.

A shift in preference from traditional to suite-style rooms rendered Cather and Pound’s 190 square feet insignificant, and when a 2010 study discovered it would be too costly to renovate them, the dorms became obsolete.

“The need for additional housing at the University was pointed up this year when all the University facilities were reserved by July for the present school year,” he said in the February 1962 press release.

Originally, one dorm housed all male students and the other all female students, but that changed by the fall of 1964.

“The project will ultimately be entirely for coeds,” Hardin said in the press release. “But for the first few years, until coed enrollment increases to fill the two dormitories, one tower will be used to house men students and the other for women students.”

Both halls took their names from Nebraskan literary legends: one from renowned novelist Willa Cather and the other from distinguished UNL English professor Louise Pound.

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2017 36 Photos courtesy of University Archives

“Mock-ups of three different types of rooms varying as to size and location of closets have been constructed at Nebraska Hall,” Hardin said in the press release.

“Students will be invited to record their preferences as to the type that will be included in the tower building.”

Cather Hall closed in 2014 after remaining open an additional year to accommodate student overflow.

Pound Hall was originally scheduled to close in early 2014, but remained open throughout the 2016-2017 academic year to meet student housing needs.

By summer 2017, the two dorms went silent, devoid of all students who once called them home. Plans were in the works for their demolition.

Those plans will come to fruition over winter break, when the two structures will be imploded. When the dust settles on the two dorms and clean-up crews begin clearing what’s left, only the students, whose lives were changed inside the dorms, will be left to tell their story.

«

Plans approved: February 1962 University of Nebraska-Lincoln Board of Regents approve the $4.65 million “Twin Towers� construction plans. The project is financed by revenue accrued from bonds.

Construction began: March 19, 1962 UNL employs the architectural firm Davis & Wilson for the project. The firm, founded by Ellery L. Davis and Walter F. Wilson, were frequently employed by the university, and completed projects such as the Nebraska Union, University of Nebraska State Museum, Morrill Hall, Love Library and Memorial Stadium.

Construction completed: Fall 1963 Working quickly, Davis and Wilson complete the two 13-story structures in 17 months, just in time for Greek rush week. Cather and Pound are the fresh, new-faced dorms for the students of the 1963-64 year.

Formal dedication: Jan. 19, 1964 Both Cather and Pound are dedicated to the memory of two Nebraskan literary masters. One is dedicated to the novelist Willa Cather, and the other is dedicated to distinguished UNL English professor Louise Pound.

Switched to coed: Fall 1964 Originally, the dorms were separated by sex, but by fall 1964, the dorms became coed.

Study doomed the residence halls: 2010 A study determines the cost to renovate Cather and Pound would be impractical. New dorms employ suitestyle rooms, leaving old, traditional rooms of Cather and Pound out-of-date.

Cather no longer houses students: 2014 The 2013-14 academic year is the last time Cather houses students.

Pound closes its doors: 2017 After originally being scheduled to close in 2014, Pound housed students throughout the 2016-2017 academic year in response to student demand.

Demolition will begin: Oct. 30, 2017 Construction crews will begin tearing down the Cather-Pound-Neihardt Dining Center, the structure located between the two dorms. The teardown, operated by cranes, is expected to take a month. It will be the first of the buildings to fall.

Implosion of structures: Dec. 22, 2017 Cather and Pound will fall during winter break, and barriers will block entrances near the demolition site at 6 a.m. Only essential personnel will be allowed near the site by 8 a.m., and the implosion will be completed by 9 a.m. A cleanup will immediately proceed the implosion and is expected to be completed by noon.

Remembering Cather and Pound halls LIBBY SELINE STAFF WRITER In the last days of her freshman year, Hope Cudly and her floormates crammed themselves into one of Pound Residence Hall’s elevators with their couch.

Together they rode the elevator from the seventh floor to the first floor, grabbed a move-in cart and hauled the couch to the Nebraska Union in front of the fountain. They recreated the introduction to the TV show “Friends,” a show they bonded over throughout the school year.

They wanted one last hoorah.

They cried, hugged and thought about the year they spent together. They became close friends that past year, and they owed that friendship to Pound. “[Other halls are] a little more closed off; it’s not as open and inviting as Pound is,” Cudly, now a senior journalism major, said. “I think you could have taken us same group of girls, us same group of people and put us in a different hall, and we would not have gotten to know each other as well as we did.”

Cather and Pound residence halls’ residents found comfort in the building, according to former RA Adrienne Ricker who worked in Cather during the 2012-13 academic year. She said she felt the building was a safe space and she thought that feeling was mutual for her residents.

The structures’ open community spaces, including a lounge area and communal bathroom, forced students to interact with each other and helped form the positive atmosphere.

“I FEEL LIKE THE OPENNESS OF THE BUILDING IN GENERAL REALLY HELPED WITH THE OPENNESS OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE MINDSET, WHICH WAS COOL.”

“It was very easy to strike up a conversation right there versus having to go through the barrier of their door,” she said.

“I feel like the openness of the building in general really helped with the openness of the community and the mindset, which was cool.”

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2017

Former Pound resident and senior secondary English education major Sara Troupe said the wall near the lounge area was decorated with a mural, which was a unique feature to the building.

“Every floor had a really big mural on the wall and they were all different, and so I really like the artsy aspect of that,” she said. “It was an older building, but it was still a nice, comfortable place to live.”

However, during the time Ricker, Troupe and Cudly lived in the halls, the structures were quite old.

Some aspects of the buildings, such as infamously slow elevators, showed the halls’ age. According to Cudly, this feature was “part of the charm.” “[I say,] ‘I lived in Pound my first year,’ and everyone goes, ‘Ooh, I am so sorry,’ and [I’m] like, ‘Well actually, it was lovely,’” she said. “It was actually one of the best times in my whole life ... I know everyone thinks it was gross and weird, but mostly it was really nice.”

Ricker said she was exposed to many cultures during her time as an RA in Cather and was able to witness different “first-experience” moments, such as residents eating pancakes for the first time.

“It’s such as a simple thing, but it was pretty eye-opening for me,” she said.

Ricker said because of these experiences, she now seeks opportunities to learn more about other cultures.

“It really developed my global perspective and having those buildings where [there was] a mix of students I feel really did a service to me and my other residents that were from the United States,” she said. “It helped us learn more about the world that we live in.”

Ricker’s floor became very close that year, and Cudly made many friends during her time in Pound. Troupe said although she did not develop many close relationships with people on her floor, her fellow residents were friendly.

“Part of that is just on my side, being a little more reserved as a person, but the floor that I lived on was mainly just international students and they just kept to themselves quite a bit as well, so it was a really quiet floor,” she said. “I enjoyed living there a lot. It was very quiet, I never had to worry about not getting things done because it was too loud.”

Cudly, Ricker and Troupe said Cather and Pound were comfortable spaces. Cudly said the dorm shaped her college experience.

“We did a lot of hanging out in the main room where we all were, and [I made] good, fast friends with everybody; it was a great college experience,” she said. “It was like having a cute little family all of a sudden. [I] didn’t quite feel so alone ... It made the first year of college a lot less scary.”

later this year. Although it is hard to see the buildings go, Ricker said she understands why the building will be knocked down.

“I’m actually really excited to see what the university does with that space,” she said. “I feel like they have the opportunity to build something or make something that will really serve students.”

Cudly said she fondly remembers the memories she made in Pound and considers Pound to be a “home away from home.” She also understands why the building is being torn down, but she cherishes the memories made there.

“That’s really where I really fell in love with UNL, that’s why I stayed at UNL, that’s what grabbed me and took hold of me,” she said. “I’m happy the university is growing, but it’s also just a little bit bittersweet that my reason for staying here is gone.”

Preserving a legend

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2017

JOHN REEL STAFF WRITER Chief Standing Bear was born around 1829 near the mouth of the Niobrara River. He was born to the Ponca, a tribe of indigenous Americans residing in the northeastern part of the state.

From birth until early adulthood, he grew up as outside factors — like European migration into former tribal lands, outbreaks of smallpox and raids by warring neighbor tribes — harmed the tribe. Given the increasingly uphill circumstances faced by the Ponca, the tribe was forced to relinquish much of its land to the United States.

Standing Bear earned his reputation as an important Native American figurehead during his famous trial in 1879, when he sued for a writ of habeas corpus, since he believed that he and his people had been unlawfully arrested and detained after leaving their reservation.

Previously, the U.S. government moved the Ponca to Oklahoma, where they faced poor farming conditions.

As a result, the tribe migrated toward the Missouri River, but faced death due to starvation and disease. Standing Bear’s son also died during this migration.

After this, Standing Bear headed to the Ponca homeland in Nebraska to bury his child. Once the government discovered the Ponca had abandoned its reservation, the tribe’s members, along with Standing Bear, were arrested. In Standing Bear v. Crook, Standing Bear sued in U.S. District Court for the unlawful arrest of his people.

Standing Bear made it recognized that Native Americans were people, and they should be treated as such.

According to the walled structure behind the statue, during the trial Chief Standing Bear said, “My hand is not the color as yours, but if I pierce it, I shall feel pain. If you pierce your hand, you will also feel pain. The blood that will flow from it will be the same color as yours. The same God made us both. I am human.”

A statue of Standing Bear was unveiled on Oct. 15, 2017, in Centennial Mall in downtown Lincoln between R and Q streets, on the west side of Andersen Hall. The event was accompanied by tribal songs and dances, as well as speeches from Lincoln Mayor Chris Beutler, Ponca chairman Larry Wright Jr., the sculptor Benjamin Victor, state Sen. Tom Brewer and Rep. Jeff Fortenberry.

The Nebraska Commision on Indian Affairs, an advocacy group that works as a middleman between Nebraskan tribal governments, Nebraska state government and the federal government, ordered the statue and the greater monument’s creation.

The organization hired Idaho-based sculptor Victor to create the statue.

Victor is a professor of practice at Boise State University in Boise, Idaho, where he works out of a studio on the campus. He primarily focuses on sculpture, and has been commissioned by various state and national government organizations to create monuments for historical characters, including native rights activist, Sarah Winnemucca.

The inspiration for this project, however, can be traced back to Donald Miller Campbell. Aside from being a friend of Judi Gaiashkibos, executive director of Nebraska Commission on Indian Affairs, he is the executive officer of the debt consolidation organization Partners for Growth in Tiburon, California, and one of the sponsors for the project.

According to Gaiashkibos, Campbell got the idea of a statue honoring a native icon from his trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he noticed a large amount of monuments of the same subject. He then approached Gaiashkibos about the idea, which she supported.

“There needs to be more statues of the first people in America,” Gaiashkibos said. “Throughout the state, I don’t think there are too many.”

After the commission decided on Victor as the artist and approached Mayor Beutler about the idea, Victor went to work on the project.

Victor said he felt humbled by the opportunity to display the legacy of Standing Bear.

“It was such an amazing process to learn about Chief Standing Bear and use my medium to capture that,” Victor said.

Victor also believes there is a shortage of representation of Native Americans in history, and that by creating monuments in honor of famous indigenous people, their history is expressed.

“It’s good that we’re creating monuments to these people who came before us,” Victor said.

According to Victor, he will also create a second statue of Standing Bear for the Ponca tribal grounds in Niobrara, Nebraska.

Gaiashkibos remembers the perfect day during the unveiling. The dropping of the cloth on the statue was met by gasps and prideful tears, she said.

To her, the creation of the statue was a unified effort between the Nebraska state government and tribal communities that she feels is fitting for the statue.

“It’s an example of what we can do if we all work together,” Gaiashkibos said.

ELIC CHISAM STAFF WRITER Six former Husker student-athletes were inducted into the Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame on Friday, Oct. 13. The legendary group combined for six team national championships and three individual titles, 19 All-American honors and four Academic All-American accolades. All six former athletes either had their jersey retired by the university or were enshrined in their respective sports’ hall of fame.

Here’s a list, including some highlights, of the honorable athletes.

Bob Brown Football 1961–63

on the team. Glover said he wanted to come to Nebraska because of the national exposure the team received.

Despite not winning a national title in 1972, the season was Glover’s best individually. That year, the former defensive lineman won the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award, given to the nation’s top interior player and best lineman, respectively. He was the second player in college football history to win both awards in the same season. Also in 1972, Glover was unanimously selected as an All-American athlete. He finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting that season after recording 100 tackles, including a 22-tackle performance against Oklahoma.

Brown played for Bob Devaney when the coach first arrived

After graduating in 1974 with a degree in education,

in Nebraska in 1962. He was a leader of Nebraska’s first Big Eight Conference championship team in 1963, and he played both offensive lineman and linebacker that season.

The title was the Huskers’ first conference championship in 23 years.

Glover went on to play three seasons in the NFL. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1995 and was named to the Sports Illustrated All-Century Team in 1999.

Brown was not only a great performer on the field, but he also accomplished some historic feats while donning a Husker jersey. He was the first African-American athlete named as an All-American at Nebraska, and he was also the first player named as an All-American during Devaney’s tenure at NU. Brown was not able to attend the induction ceremony, but he still addressed the crowd via pre-recorded video.

“It all started here at the University of Nebraska,” Brown said in the video. “I was given an opportunity by the administration, by the athletic department, and I was accepted by the fans in this wonderful, wonderful state. If there was no Nebraska, there would be no Bob Brown, and I wouldn’t have this great wonderful moment.”

Brown graduated in 1964 with an education degree, but his success did not end when he left the university. Brown went on to play 10 seasons in the NFL. He played offensive tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams and Oakland Raiders, and he was selected to the Pro Bowl six times during his career. Brown was named NFL/NFC offensive lineman of the year three times, and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1993 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2004.

Rich Glover Football 1970–72 While Brown played at the beginning of Devaney’s career, Glover put on the pads during Devaney’s final years at Nebraska. Glover was a member of Nebraska’s first two football national championship teams in 1970 and 1971.

In all, the Huskers had a record of 33-2-2 while he was

Karen (Dahlgren) Schonewise Volleyball 1983–86 Schonewise has several accolades to go along with her name. During her time at Nebraska, the walk-on athlete was selected as an All-American twice. She was the first volleyball player in the Huskers’ history to be named an Academic All-American, receiving the honor a total of three times. She was also the first Husker to win the Honda Sport Award in 1986. It is awarded to the best female athlete in each of 12 collegiate women’s sports.

The Huskers’ volleyball team also had great success while Schonewise was on the team. From 1983-1986, the team had a record of 113-17. The Huskers swept their way through four consecutive Big Eight tournaments during Schonewise’s time at NU. She also helped lead Nebraska to its first Final Four appearance in the sport in 1986.

Schonewise said she will always remember qualifying for that first Final Four.

“We got to play the regional final in Devaney,” Schonewise said. “It was my senior year, and we were the first team outside of California or Hawaii to make the Final Four, so that was a big step for the program. We actually made the national championship match that year, and that was very exciting.”

When Schonewise left Nebraska with a business administration degree in 1987, she was the school’s all-time leader in blocks with 555. She still holds Nebraska records for career solo blocks, season solo blocks and blocks in a single match with 132, 46, and 18 respectively. The Bertrand, Nebraska, native had her jersey retired in 2003.

Dave Hoppen Basketball 1983–86 An Omaha, Nebraska, native, Hoppen played football during high school at Benson High School. Fortunately for him and the university, Hoppen switched to basketball before coming to Nebraska. Before the ceremony, Hoppen described why he switched sports.

“I caught a pass over the middle during a [football] game and, I don’t know if I had a concussion or not, but when they were calling the next play, I didn’t have any idea what I was doing,” Hoppen said. “I don’t think Tom Osborne at the time wanted a non-blocking, slow, white tight end, so I didn’t fit the mold. I loved football, but I wasn’t very good at it.”

Hoppen might not have fit the mold for football, but he was a monster on the basketball court. During his time at Nebraska, he set 19 school records and five Big Eight Conference records. The most notable of those is Hoppen’s career point total. He left NU with 2,167 points, making him the only 2,000 point-scorer in Nebraska basketball history. During his sophomore campaign, Hoppen averaged a school record of 23.5 points per game.

Hoppen was also named to the All-Big Eight team four times, receiving the honor unanimously twice. He is one of just two Huskers named first team all-conference at least three times during his career.

During his senior season in 1986, Hoppen helped lead the Nebraska basketball team to its first NCAA tournament appearance. In all, Nebraska basketball won 75 games while Hoppen was on the team, and it retired his jersey on his senior day in 1986.

Hoppen went on to play six seasons in the NBA as a member of the Atlanta Hawks. He was also a member of Team USA at the U.S. Olympic Festival in 1983 and the USA World University Games in 1985, where he helped his team capture bronze and silver medals, respectively.

Denise Day Softball 1982–85; Women’s Track and Field 1985 Day is one of the greatest softball players in NU’s history.

She was the first in program history to be named both an All-American and an Academic All-American. By the time her career was over, Day had earned both honors twice.

She was also the 1985 Honda Award winner, the only Husker softball player ever to win the award. By the end of her softball career, she owned almost every offensive record there was. Day credits her ability to play to the women who came before her who fought for more opportunities and scholarships for women.

“The athletic scholarship was my ticket,” Day said. “If it weren’t for that, the resources just weren’t there for my family. Because of these pioneers, we could more than just dream about college and competing at the next level.”

While at NU, Day was a member of several historic softball teams. In 1982, Day helped lead the team to its first ever Women’s College World Series, returning to the tournament again in 1984. Nebraska softball also captured six regular-season and tournament conference championships while Day was on the roster. The team retired her jersey in 1999.

She was not just a phenom on the softball field. In her final year at Nebraska, Day also competed in the javelin throw for the women’s track and field team. At the 1985 Big Eight Outdoor Championships, the Pennsylvania native finished second in the event only to teammate Karyn Szarkowski. Day’s throw that day was the third-longest in school history at the time. Even balancing two sports, Day graduated with an education degree in 1985.

Scott Johnson Men’s Gymnastics 1980–83 Johnson is one of the best gymnasts, not just in Nebraska history, but in United States history. Nebraska won the men’s gymnastics national championship every year Johnson was a member of the team. He also earned three individual national titles and five Big Eight titles while at NU. Johnson competed in six events at the NCAA Championships and was selected as an All-American in five.

Johnson said he wanted to come to Nebraska because they were the premier program at the time.

“I had a dream that I wanted to compete in the Olympics,” Johnson said. “I realized early on in my career, to be the best athlete, I had to train with the best. When I was in high school, the University of Nebraska was the best collegiate gymnastics program in the country. When I finally got that call asking me to come out to visit the school, I knew that if they offered me a scholarship, I would be here.”

Johnson burst onto the scene as freshman, finishing in second place on the vault at his first NCAA Championship appearance. He followed that up with a second place finish on the still rings and a sixth place performance on the high bar during his sophomore season. His junior season, Johnson finished third in the country on the floor exercise and took sixth place overall. All three of Johnson’s individual titles came during his senior season when he took home first place on the high bar, parallel bars and floor exercise.

Johnson went on to accomplish his goal of being an Olympian. He competed at the 1984 and 1988 Summer Olympics.

At the 1984 Olympics, Johnson took home a gold medal in front of a Los Angeles crowd. Johnson was inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 1999, and in 2006, he was inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame.

This is only the third year the university inducted members into the Hall of Fame. This group joins 29 other athletes who were enshrined in 2015 and 2016. These six now accompany other Husker legends such as Dave Rimington and Johnny Rodgers on the list of the greatest athletes to don the scarlet and cream.
