LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Dear reader,

My name is Amy, and I went to Scotland.

I’ve been back for nearly a year and a half. Yet I find myself telling stories from my time abroad almost constantly, to the great annoyance of my friends and classmates.

Believe me, I know the frustration of hearing about the awesome experience someone else got to have. I know not everyone has the time, money or other advantages necessary to study abroad.

I’m eternally thankful that I got to spend the spring 2013 semester at the University of Glasgow in Scotland on a program through Arcadia University.

Yet study abroad is far more than a walk in the park, even if that park happens to be in London or Vienna.

The semester before I left was filled with both classes and paperwork. I had to select and apply to the program and get it approved by the Education Abroad office. My class credit, scholarship money, bank account, travel tickets and lodging all had to be seen to. I went to countless meetings and had endless to-do lists.

In country, my program was an excellent mix of built-in support and independence. Upon arrival, I had orientations with other American students, none of whom I knew previously. I lived in an international apartment-style dorm, meaning my first time shopping and cooking for myself came while also doing currency conversions. I had classes, joined clubs and got introduced to the city social life by a mix of American, local and international students. Some weekend trips were organized by my program, but a few friends and I also organized our own trips to 10 other countries.

That’s an incredibly quick overview, and it’s taken me multiple tries to pare it down that much. I know people are probably tired of hearing about it, but how do I tone down or shove aside something that will always be an important part of my life? Since returning to the U.S., I’ve told stories not only to friends, but also used them for job interviews and class projects.

I’ve wanted to cry from frustration but had to pick myself up and move on because my support system was impossibly far away. I’ve asked for

directions and ordered meals in languages of which I knew all of 10 words.

I’ve been “the other,” the one whose skin and voice betrayed her lack of belonging.

I’m not saying pity me. I’m not trying to brag. I’m saying I worked hard, questioned myself and learned as much as I could. For all of that, I know how fortunate I’ve been. I will always know.

However, I do encourage anyone, if at all possible, to please study abroad.

You may go somewhere more exotic than Europe for more or less time.

You may find opportunities within the U.S. The important thing is to put yourself somewhere new, to see what you can do on your own.

Thanks for listening to me talk about Scotland again, Amy Kenyon Opinion editor FRONT PAGE PHOTO BY SHELBY WOLFE | DN

OH, THE PLACES

YOU’LL GO

UNL seeks to make Education Abroad available to more students

CHRIS BOWLING DN The origins of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s study abroad program are unclear, but officials know where it’s headed.

The developing world.

“We’re always pushing students to look at Brazil, India, China and a lot of the developing world and developing economies,” said Rebecca Luhrs Bakerville, director of Education Abroad.

The university has offered study abroad programs for decades, but with its recent move to the Big Ten Conference, university officials are looking to expand study abroad to compete with similar schools.

Bakerville said the program usually attracts about 700 students per year, which leaves UNL lagging behind Big Ten contenders such as Michigan State University, which boasts more than 2,000 participants every year. The solution is to offer a variety of options that are accessible and give students the opportunity to travel to places all over the world.

“We always want to make sure study abroad is accessible to everyone – especially underrepresented minorities, first generation students and things like that,” Bakerville said. “And also make sure students of all majors know that there is an opportunity and a program for them.”

Making information accessible and attractive is a big part of the education abroad program as now, more than ever, the office is trying to reach out to more students to keep up with its Big Ten peers. Here are some of the study abroad partnerships UNL currently offers: Consortium International University College of Business Administration Run through the University of Iowa, this program puts students 25 miles north of the Venice, Italy, in the small town of Paderno del Grappa.

Students accepted into this program are provided roundtrip airfare, language and cultural classes as well as furnished accommodations and a cell phone for local use. This program is open to students in the fall and spring and lasts a semester.

University of Minnesota: International Program in Toledo Run through the University of Minnesota, this program offers students the opportunity to study in Toledo, Spain, for either a summer, fall or spring session. The opportunities afforded to students mostly deal with Spanish as students can take upper-level Spanish courses, complete a Spanish minor in one semester and intern with a Spanish company.

This program is open to students with a 2.5 overall GPA and a language GPA of 3.0.

NU Sponsored: Brazil: Culture, Society and Business This Nebraska-sponsored Brazilian education abroad opportunity is a 3-credit hour experience in Porto Alegre or Sao Paulo. The fields of study include Agricultural Economics, Education, Environmental Studies, Public Health and Water Science, and the program is open to students with a minimum GPA of 3.0.

The program offers cultural learning experiences that range from working with Brazilian students, attending soccer matches and traveling to tropical islands. Housing, airfare, most meals and travel in Brazil will be paid by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Students must pay for tuition and fees, passport, Visa, vaccinations and insurance.

Student finds independence in Argentina KATIE KNIGHT DN It was Grace Solem-Pfeifer’s first time out of the country.

She was nervous to begin with. Studying abroad on an entirely different continent was a daunting concept. Once her flight to Argentina was delayed for an entire day, she was separated from her group of fellow students, and the anxiety increased.

But she was prepared. Six years of Spanish classes and a couple of self-administered pep talks gave her the confidence to ask for help from the Argentine woman sitting beside her.

So Solem-Pfeifer grabbed her things, departed the plane and carried on alone to the place she would soon call her home.

“If I can’t get a taxi from the airport after six years of Spanish, then I have no business being a Spanish major,” she said. “I’m sure that despite trying to look like I knew what I was doing, I was just open-mouth staring at everything because it was literally my first time out of the country.”

Two months later when her father, Doug Pfeifer, came to visit, she picked him up at the airport all on her own. She flagged down the taxi and told the driver where to go. Contrary to anything she ever expected, she was the one showing someone else the city that had become her home in such a short time.

LIVING IN BUENOS AIRES

Solem-Pfeifer lives in the heart of Buenos Aires in a high rise apartment with a housemother and one American roommate from the University of Minnesota.

Her classes are all taught by Argentines, but all her classmates are American. To go to school each day, she walks 30 minutes to a local mall, where classes take place in a cultural center on the top floor.

Her classroom arrangements aren’t the only different aspect of her life in Argentina – one of the most immediate differences she noticed was people’s interactions with one another. In addition to near constant cat-calling on the sidewalks – it happens to Solem-Pfeifer at least 10 and 20 times each day – she has yet to become accustomed to the way Argentines greet one another.

“The most immediate culture shock, I would say, is that logically I knew in my head that people kiss you on the cheek when they meet you here – I knew it, I thought about it, I thought I was prepared – but there is nothing that prepares you for strangers trying to kiss you on the face,” Solem-Pfeifer said. “You kind of twitch, and then they kiss the wrong part of your face. So I was thinking ‘don’t do something weird, don’t do something weird.’ And of course, I end up doing something weird.”

The biggest culture shock of all, though, is learning to live in a place where the people speak another language.

“The language barrier is definitely the biggest culture shock,” Solem-Pfeifer said. “I’m fairly good at Spanish, but at the same time – especially at the beginning – even the most routine interactions, like going to a restaurant, going to the grocery store, all of a sudden you’re going over your vocabulary in your head. You just kind of have to brace yourself for things that you do completely effortlessly at home.”

Another thing Solem-Pfeifer misses is the

Grace Solem-Pfeifer is spending the semester studying in Argentina. She said the experience has led her to view America from a different perspective. food in America. Although she said her Argentine food is fine, some days she sits around and daydreams about Chipotle.

“I miss American food more than I thought I would,” Solem-Pfeifer said. “The other day I saw a pack of Oreos and ate like five of them, and I don’t even really like Oreos. You just start to crave the American food that you know.”

A FATHER’S CONCERNS

Being a global studies major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Solem-Pfeifer knew she wanted to travel since she started college. Even amidst all the research she put into various programs across the nation, studying abroad didn’t hit her as a reality until the day she left.

“It didn’t really feel real until I was getting on the plane,” Solem-Pfeifer said. “Even a day before, it seemed so absurd that I was leaving everything and everyone I know for four months.

At that point it was just one of those experiences that you’re going to come and you’re going to get lost, and you’re going to say something stupid and the locals will laugh at you; but I was

also really, really excited.”

When Solem-Pfeifer’s father learned she wanted to study abroad, his mind immediately went to the safety factor.

“Of course I was a little bit nervous, just because you think South America and when you think about South America you think about things like Bolivia and some of those places that are not the safest places in the world to go to,” Pfeifer said. “Being the average American and somewhat ignorant about South America, I did my homework and (Argentina) was one of the safer, better places to go in South America. As I educated myself I began to feel more comfortable.”

Through studying abroad, Solem-Pfeifer said she has learned to view her own home country in ways she never thought of before.

“One of my favorite things about studying abroad that I wasn’t expecting is that besides learning about the culture here, you also learn about what culture in the United States is,” Solem-Pfeifer said. “You don’t think about that when you live in it every day; you don’t really understand what’s unique or eccentric about

where you’re from until you see it through someone else’s eyes, and that’s something I really like.

It makes me want to keep traveling.”

After living there for nearly four months, Solem-Pfeifer has also learned how to navigate through a big city. Buenos Aires was a huge transition from Omaha, where Solem-Pfeifer grew up.

“She now has such a sense of big city living,” her father said. “When we live in Nebraska, we think ‘Oh I’ll just hop in my car and go somewhere.’ And that is not a thought that ever enters her mind. She thinks along the lines of ‘How will I get to the bus to get there? How will we use mass transit to get there?’”

Doug Pfeifer said he knows the skills his daughter learned from studying abroad will be invaluable in the rest of her life’s endeavors.

“I just think the entire cultural experience is going to be by far a bigger learning experience than the classes themselves,” he said. “She has to figure stuff out on her own, and she’s just done an incredible job on that.”

Russia study abroad inspires student to change US perceptions KELLIE WASIKOWSKI DN

point where she had to get a new phone,” Himes said.

Although she didn’t realize it when she arrived, Himes wears a ring on the Russian wedding finger. Now she continues to wear it and sometimes makes it obvious when on the Metro to keep others from approaching her.

Annie Himes arrived at her homestay in Russia with a “dinky” $30 cell phone and no Internet. The unprecedented loneliness kept her awake until 3 a.m., as she realized just how difficult adjusting to live in a foreign country would be.

“I thought I was above culture shock, but no one is too good to experience it,” she said.

Himes, a global studies, history and Russian major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is spending her fall semester studying abroad at St. Petersburg State University in St. Petersburg, Russia. Her specific program is located in a converted convent on the grounds of the famous Smolny Cathedral.

After studying Russian for more than half a decade and participating in an intensive language program at Middlebury College, Himes finally got the chance to experience The Motherland herself, which Himes said has helped her better understand the complexity of United States and Russia relations.

PROTESTS AND SOCIAL ISSUES

LIVING IN ST. PETERSBURG

Himes lives in an apartment with her host mom. Because of the magnitude of the city’s population of 8 million, Himes takes an hourlong ride on the metro to school and back every day. City planning in St. Petersburg is very different than that of the U.S. because of communism’s influence, she said.

“In the U.S., the way that cities developed was poor and rich sections based on de-facto segregation, it’s racial and it’s economic,” Himes said. “The weird thing about the bigger cities here though, is that, during communism, everyone was assigned an apartment and where you lived had nothing to do with how much money you made, it was just where the state told you to live, unless you had connections.”

But after the fall of the Soviet Union, city demographics remained the same as properties transitioned from being owned by the state to privately owned.

“In the 1990s there was privatization of apartments so people could buy the apartment they lived in during the Soviet Union,” Himes said. “Now there’s no part of St. Petersburg that is known to be poor or have higher crime.”

HOW RUSSIANS VIEW AMERICANS

“It’s definitely an individual thing when it comes to opinions about the U.S. here,” Himes said. “Most young people think it’s cool that other students and I are from the U.S. because our generation doesn’t remember the Cold War. So the way that we view the country is different from our parents and especially our grandparents.”

While Cold War relations and pseudocommunist government are still subtly present in Russia, Himes said perceptions of the U.S. from Russians are contrary to what most Americans believe.

“The weirdest thing I’ve learned, and this was mostly from my professors, is that a lot

Because cities such as St. Petersburg and Moscow are so large, protests that have thousands of individuals participating are small compared to the millions of people living in the city. Himes hasn’t yet seen any protests, but she was advised by not to participate in protests and walk the other way for her own safety. While protestors such as Pussy Riot have made international headlines in recent years, Himes said the laws surrounding samesex rights are still very conservative too.

“The law prohibits gay propaganda in the presence of children,” Himes said. “So you can be gay, but you can’t just kiss your partner in front of a child. The biggest way it’s visible in everyday life is that everything has an age rating. So on the outside of a shop it will say plus-18 or plus-16, I went to a ballet and it was plus-0, or a show that was plus-6, so they rate things based on age.”

There was also a monument of Steve Jobs erected in Russia after he died. But that monument was taken down when Apple CEO Tim Cook came out as gay. While she doesn’t agree with some of these Russian values, she said political dissent isn’t something that is accepted in Russia as it is in the U.S. “The ‘collective’ in Russian culture is very important,” Himes said. “Political individuality is not praised here like it is in the United States. So that kind of dissent is not the norm here. Most Russians love Putin and they agree with him, and most are fine with the government. Of course there are people who don’t like the government, but, for the most part, life is hard enough in this country, that you first have to worry about your job and family before worrying about what’s happening in Ukraine.”

Himes said Russia-Ukraine relations are a lot more complex than American media portray them because of the new nature of the conflict still. American media also try to magnify the situation, and Himes said the average Russian college student is affected by the situation just as much as any American college student.

“There are so many Russians in Ukraine and Ukrainians in Russia, and it’s so much more complicated than most Americans understand,” Himes said. “Most people haven’t studied Ukraine-Russia relations because they have only been separate countries for a few decades now.”

In South Africa, Italy, students reaffirm their goals Two students studied abroad in different continents, returned with a newfound passion for their future SOPHIE TATUM DN Giraffes, monkeys and lions were only a few of the animals Alia Noetzel saw while studying abroad in South Africa.

“Almost every morning we would go on game drives, which are basically safaris,” Noetzel said.

Her education abroad trip, offered by Duke University and the University of NebraskaLincoln, gave students the opportunity to learn about global health care through hands-on experiences.

“A lot of what we did was shadowing doctors in public hospitals and shadowing doctors in private hospitals and then kind of looking at the differences in that,” Noetzel said.

Noetzel, a junior psychology pre-med student at UNL, said the experience helped her reaffirm her future goals.

In addition to shadowing doctors, the students also shadowed community healthcare workers, attended a panel of medical students in South Africa and stayed with a host.

Studying abroad gives students the opportunity to immerse themselves in a foreign culture for an extended period of time. Student programs are offered through a variety of platforms, including UNL’s Education Abroad.

Students are able to search for programs from the comfort of their own home through Education Abroad’s website. The website offers a filter for students that asks parameters including everything from country and language to field of study and experience type.

Noetzel, like many other students who study abroad, had the opportunity to travel before the trip.

“Before the actual study abroad started, I met up with three girls,” she said. “I had no idea who they were, but we just decided to meet up and hang out in Cape Town for the week before because our trip wasn’t supposed to go to Cape Town.”

Kara Leachman, a senior accounting and business administration major, studied in Paderno del Grappa, Italy, through CIMBA, which

is a UNL-endorsed and University of Iowa sponsored program. CIMBA’s classes are preapproved through UNL, which ensures credit transfer for students.

“A lot of them (were) 300 and 400 level classes, which is nice for upper level students who want to study abroad,” Leachman said.

Leachman worked as a resident assistant while on the trip to help fund her experiences. Education Abroad also offers a number of opportunities for students to apply for scholarships through their website.

“The only real downside was I wish I was there longer,” Leachman said.

Leachman also traveled throughout Europe after her scheduled study abroad, visiting places such as Paris and Barcelona.

Both students said studying abroad creates situations that force individuals to make real-world decisions that may have unfortunate consequences.

“We got lost hiking in the Blyde River Canyon for like an hour; that was frightening,” Noetzel said.

“After being locked out of our hotel at 2 in

the morning with wine running through our veins, I decided I really needed to use the bathroom,” Leachman said. “So I picked the Grand Canal. I fell in and had to be rescued by a friend I had just met.”

Leachman said the experience she gained was invaluable and recommends everyone who is thinking about studying abroad should do it.

“I think everyone should, if they have the opportunity, should do it,” Leachman said.

very protective of Russia and the Russian people,” Madcharo said. “With Russia increasingly painted as the bad guy in the news, I became overly protective of its culture and people. It is hard for me to think objectively about any issues regarding Russia because it holds such a special place in my heart.”

After graduating, Himes said she hopes to receive a Fulbright scholarship to teach Eng-

lish abroad and eventually attend graduate school to practice international law. Although she isn’t able to reflect on her experience, yet, because it is still happening, she said she hopes to be able to use her experience to encourage a better perception of Russia in the United States.

“I’m hoping I can dispel some of the misinformation about Russia, especially in the

geo-political time,” Himes said. “Sharing my experience with other people when I return is a very important thing. There’s also been a lot of personal growth, and every day new things happen and I’m processing a lot of things. It’s very surreal.”

African students share local cultures African Student Association’s Taste of Africa event gives students opportunity to present about their cultures KELLIE WASIKOWSKI DN When Claire Ngamelue came to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, she didn’t think she would find people like her so easily.

Ngamelue was at an event in the Nebraska Union and wanted a T-shirt from one of the booths. There she met a member of the African Student Association who encouraged her to join.

Ngamelue, who moved to Omaha from Cameroon in February 2010, said she was happy to meet other students who share a similar experience of moving from Africa to the United States.

“Since I’m from Cameroon, I’m also looking for people from Africa, and I was glad to hear that there is an African Student Association,” said Ngamelue, a freshman accounting major.

The ASA hosted its Taste of Africa on Friday, when members showcased different African cultures through food, music and presentations of different countries that are represented among the students. The presentations included preparing a poster of the country and bringing other items that represent its culture.

“I tried to put a lot of positive things about Cameroon because you want to entice people to find out more,” Ngamelue said. “I talked more about what I experienced in Cameroon and what people wouldn’t know by just looking it up on Google.

Renovations are part of plan to revitalize East Campus BAILEY SCHULZ DN Efforts to revitalize East Campus should become more apparent in the next couple of years.

An increase in student population has resulted in university administration making changes to grow and expand. Some construction projects are already under way.

The new East Campus Rec Center is currently under construction and is expected to open in summer 2015. The plans were approved in October 2010 by UNL students as a phase 3 of the “Yes 2 Better Rec Centers” referendum. The new rec center will have improved strength and fitness training areas, a three-lane jogging track, a demonstration kitchen and more.

The new rec center is expected to be very different than the old rec, which dates back to 1926.

“It was never really designed to be a rec center — it was actually the East Union until 1977,” said Christopher Dulak, Campus Recreation’s senior assistant director for marketing and communications.

Dulak said he hopes the new East Campus rec center will make the City Campus building less crowded.

“The benefit that we see to it most is that here on City Campus, we’re overpopulated, and a clear majority of students live around the East Campus facility,” Dulak said. “What it’s going to do is it’s going to mediate some of the stress here on City Campus while improving the entire environment of East Campus.”

The C.Y. Thompson Library on East Campus is also scheduled to be renovated.

The University of Nebraska Board of Regents approved the project earlier this fall, and the library will be renovated inside and out once the money for the $22.5 million project is raised. Ronnie Green, the vice chancellor for the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, said they hope to start the library’s construction in 2016.

In 2017, a new veterinary diagnostic laboratory will open on East Campus. The design was recently approved, and the $45 million funding is already in place. Construction is scheduled to begin March 2015.

A third East Campus project is facing approval by the regents at their Thursday meeting.

It’s a $37.5 million project for new residence halls that would fit 380 students in both suite-style and traditional-styled rooms. Approval of the project is on the regents’ docket next week.

East Campus hasn’t had new dormitories built since the early 1950s, and the current dorms’ sprinkler systems don’t meet the university’s requirement for fire code. The new regulations go into effect in 2017, which is when officials hope to

The former East Campus recreation center “was never really designed to be a rec center,” Campus Rec spokesman Christopher Dulak said. open the new dorms.

Green said a new building would be more costeffective in the long run as opposed to replacing the sprinkler system in the current dorms.

“Additionally, we need more student housing, too,” he said. “Our enrollment is up significantly in the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources.”

Possible changes also include renovations in the East Union’s dining facility, with planning expected to start next year.

One definite change is the food and science technology department’s move to the new Food Innovation Center at the Nebraska Innovation Campus. The move will happen next July, when the department will leave its current location at the

food industry complex building. The old facility will then be repopulated with new faculty and programs within the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources.

Officials are considering adding a new classroom facility for East Campus students in the food industry complex building. Those changes would take place in either 2015 or 2016, after the food science and technology department relocates.

“It’s a lot happening,” Green said. “The best way to describe it is there’s more happening on the campus currently than has happened in a long time.”

Along with growth in student population and alterations to buildings, East Campus has also seen major changes recently in faculty numbers.

In the past two and a half years, IANR has increased itsfaculty by more than 15 percent.

“There’s no other university in the United States that’s done that in this area of study,” Green said. “We’re the only ones that have that kind of growth.”

The additions make sense when IANR takes up about a third of the university’s total budget and has a student population that’s doubled in the past 10 years. The increased student population has led to new academic programs and the additional faculty.

“Much of what’s driving this growth is the growth of our students,” Green said.

Board of Regents to consider new dining hall, dorm STAFF REPORT DN A new dining hall will replace the Cather-PoundNeihardt Dining Center in Fall 2017, pending approval from the University of Nebraska Board of Regents.

Construction on the 17th Street Dining Complex will begin in October 2015 and cost about $33 million, according to the program description from the NU Board of Regents.

The 654-seat dining center will serve 2,800 meals every day and primarily serve University of Nebraska-Lincoln students in the Knoll

Residential Center, University Suites, Eastside Suites and Neihardt Residential Center. A theater with seating for up to 500 will also be included.

The complex will be built north of Knoll, where tennis courts sit currently. University Housing will also have office space in the center.

A new residence hall is also on the table.

The project would cost $37.5 million and would provide both apartment and dormitory style housing on East Campus.

The projects will be considered during Thursday’s meeting of the Board of Regents.

Weekly crime: Laptop stolen at Love Library ANNIE BOHLING DN If you leave your laptop sitting on campus for two and a half hours, it’s going to get stolen. If you try to break into Burnett Hall, you’ll probably fail.

This week in University of NebraskaLincoln crime, someone broke the window of Room 119 at Burnett Hall, causing $2,000 in damage. UNLPD was called to the scene at 12:30 a.m., on Wednesday. The unknown person or persons didn’t get through. His or her metal multi-tool split the screen window and cracked two panes of glass. It dropped between the second and third window pane.

Some big ticket items were reported as stolen this week.

One female UNL student’s MacBook Pro was stolen on Friday from a Love Library study room. The student left her pink and silver laptop at 1:45 p.m. and came back at 4:20 p.m. to find it missing. The computer is valued at $1,300. There are no suspects.

New website showcases historic buildings LANI HANSON DN

Tucked in the back of the Architecture Library on the second floor of Architecture Hall, Kay Logan-Peters sits in her office, surrounded by old campus photographs, countless books and publications of historical campus architecture and dozens of artifacts. They range from small pieces of wood painted to look like historic campus buildings to a century-old door handle originally from the building now known as Richards Hall.

Several years ago, Logan-Peters, a digital arts coordinator and architecture librarian for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries, began working on a project that would require numerous hours of research. With help from colleagues, UCARE students and countless others, Logan-Peters sifted through piles legal documents, combed through Board of Regents meeting minutes and archives, examined heaps of old maps, blueprints and the library’s archives and special collections.

Logan-Peters led the effort to collect and

organize this information, which covers nearly 100 years of growth at UNL, and the result was a website, “An Architectural Tour of Historic UNL.” The project, which documents the growth of the campus from the university’s founding in 1869 until 1965 and contains descriptions of more than 60 buildings, can be found at historicbuildings.unl.edu.

“The intention of this work is to bring this vast amount of information together into an electronic publication, interpret and present

it in a way that makes it meaningful, and deliver it to the researcher or casual reader in an easily accessible form,” the website reads.

“The remarkable history of the University of Nebraska deserves nothing less.”

Some of the most historically significant buildings that still stand, in Logan-Peters’s opinion, are the buildings now known as Architecture Hall, Brace Laboratory, Richards Hall, Neihardt Residence Center and the Agriculture Communications building (East Campus Mall).

University Library Now a part of Architecture Hall, the former University Library is the only 19thcentury building that remains on city campus. To Logan-Peters, the building is a symbol of the founding of the university.

Built in 1892 and designed by Mendelssohn, Fisher and Lawrie, the library was funded by the State Legislature and cost $110,000. ThenChancellor James Canfield reportedly visited the site daily to oversee the construction, determined to ensure that the new building wouldn’t be the embarrassment that several of the university’s older buildings had been.

Both University Hall and Nebraska Hall, built prior to construction of the library, had several flaws that led to their rapid deterioration. The old University Library was known as Architecture Hall for many years before becoming a part of a $4.3 million renovation project in the 1980s that linked the building to the old Law College (built in 1912) and created Architecture Hall as it’s known today. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, the exterior of the renovated Architecture Hall is basically unchanged from its original form.

Brace Laboratory of Physics The first NU building constructed in the 20th century, the Brace Laboratory of Physics was named in honor of the chair of the Department of Physics, DeWitt Bristol Brace, who died of blood poisoning as the building was nearing completion in 1905. The planned location of the building interfered with the original athletic field, and the head of the athletic committee, Charles Russ Richards, feared the football field would be compromised by the close proximity of the new building. The final form of the physics laboratory was altered so as not to interfere with the athletic field, which was moved

slightly to the west. Brace was the first building to deviate from the traditional red brick used in all buildings previously and was designed by the same architects who built University Library. In 2011, the lab sat empty and unused except for one room on the first floor. Despite plans for demolition, the building still stands as one of the oldest buildings on campus because of efforts by staff and students to save it.

“I never believe a building is as far gone as we’re sometimes told,” Logan-Peters said of Brace Lab. “If there’s a will to save it, it’s possible.”

Mechanical Engineering Laboratory In 1907, C. R. Richards was named associate dean of the Industrial College and began planning a new building to house the mechanical engineering program. Ironically, just two years after campaigning against the construction of the physics laboratory, Richards began designing the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory – now known as Richards Hall – which was erected in 1908 on the site of the old athletic field. The building now houses studio and gallery space for the Department of Art and Art History. When Logan-Peters was a student,

she said Richards Hall was in a state of disrepair: a “hideous mess.”

The building was renovated and enlarged in 2000. Logan-Peters said the same company that provided the tile for the building’s original construction nearly 100 years prior provided the tile used in the renovation. When students enter on the south side of the building, they pass over a tile “ME” monogram that points to the building’s original use as a Mechanical Engineering Lab.

Raymond Hall For more than 60 years after the university’s founding, students attending were provided no options by the university for on-campus housing. About 1 in every 4 girls lived in a sorority house by the 1920s, but others were left to find housing for themselves. As downtown grew, boarding houses that once served students began to disappear. In the fall of 1932, the university dedicated its first dormitory: Carrie Belle Raymond Hall, which was designed by Davis and Wilson and cost

$217,000. Additions were added later to make room for about 600 students, but the original facility housed 170 women and a room cost $60 per semester, with a $26 monthly fee charged for board. Known as the Women’s Residence Halls prior to 1973, the complex that included Raymond Hall was renamed at the request of its residents John G. Neihardt Residential Center. Logan-Peters is perhaps drawn to the history of this building because it was where she lived as an undergraduate.

Agricultural Experiment Station East of Lincoln and separated from the city by an unbroken stretch of prairie, a farm campus was established in 1873.

The oldest building on East Campus, the Agriculture Experiment Station, now known as Agricultural Communications Building, was the second educational building erected on what was then known simply as “the Farm.” The only 19th-century building

that remains on East Campus – now a part of what is known as the East Campus Mall – the Agriculture Experiment Station was designed by Lincoln architects Roberts and Woods and cost $27,500 at the time of its construction in 1899.

H u s k e r s n a b 1 4 - p o i n t l e a d i n 1 s t q u a r t e r, but ultimately fall apart against Badgers

STORY BY ERIC BERTRAND

T

he Nebraska football team came out to start the game with something extra in its step.

Senior running back Ameer Abdullah was ready to show fans he was healthy and capable of playing at his normal level. He rushed for 42 yards on eight carries in the opening quarter.

The Husker defense did its job and got the Badgers to turn the ball over twice in the first quarter, and then the offense turned it into 10 points.

Once the Huskers built a 17-3 lead, the offense started slowing down. Actually, the emergency brake was sprung.

“It just fell apart,” offensive coordinator Tim Beck said. “Had trouble running the ball.

Had trouble throwing the ball. Hanging on to the ball.”

Beck also said the squad lacked something.

“They lost something. Mojo, I don’t know what you want to call it,” Beck said. “They didn’t have the same crispness.”

When the Huskers lost the edge, it became difficult to regain the momentum because of the strong competition.

“Anytime you play a talented group like Wisconsin, it’s hard to steal momentum back,” senior offensive lineman Jake Cotton said. “You got to do that with your approach; you got to do that with your technique, your footwork and your execution. Unfortunately

for us, we couldn’t get that across the board.”

Abdullah finished the game with 69 yards and a fumble. Beck said the run game was doing well to start the game and he wanted to stick with it throughout the game.

“It felt like early in the game we were running the ball (well),” Beck said. “I wanted to be careful that I didn’t get away from that because we were having success.”

When turnovers started happening, Beck just wanted to keep the offense simple, but the team still struggled with that.

“I kept thinking to myself, ‘Just be patient. Let’s keep running the rock. Maybe get a chance to spring something here or there,’” Beck said.

The offense faltering came down to protection.

“I don’t have the answer why early we blocked them, and late we don’t block them,“ Beck said. “I don’t know. I don’t know.”

The Huskers’ longest run came from an unusual player, sophomore punter Sam Foltz ran for 14 yards on the fake punt. The option has been there all season, but he got the green light from the coaches, Foltz said.

“I rolled out and saw something I liked and knew I would make a play,” Foltz said.

“I just tucked it and ran.”

The offense had six three-and-outs and five turnovers after the first quarter. Only one drive after the first quarter resulted in a touchdown, and that was after the Huskers

Senior running back Ameer Abdullah rushed for 42 yards on eight carries in the first quarter to help the Huskers to a 17-3 lead. Nebraska didn’t maintain that for long as the team fell apart against its Big Ten opponent, Wisconsin. The Badgers pulled out a 59-24 win, adding another L to the Nebraska record.

recovered a fumble inside the Badgers’ fiveyard line late in the fourth quarter.

The Huskers converted just one third down after the first quarter.

After throwing one-for-four with 12 yards and a touchdown in the first quarter, sophomore quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. finished the game with 50 more yards and an interception. The interception came early in the third quarter. Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said Armstrong didn’t see the free safety

over the top of the receiver and the corner.

Whether it was a player running the wrong route, blocks missed or players slipping, the Huskers didn’t regain offensive rhythm.

“It was just a bunch of different things that took place, and we just didn’t execute at a very high level,” Beck said.

It just fell apart. Had trouble running the ball.

Had trouble throwing the ball. Hanging onto the ball.”

Huskers fail to sweep Terrapins but win in 4 sets Nebraska volleyball team loses momentum in 3rd set, but pulls out 3-1 win against Maryland

VANESSA DAVES DN No. 11 Nebraska’s winning streak was on the line at Sunday’s match against Maryland.

The Huskers played Maryland about two weeks ago and walked away with a 3-0 sweep. Leading up to the match, Nebraska coach John Cook said it would be a good opportunity for the players on the team to prove themselves again.

But that sweep he was looking for didn’t happen again.

Though the Huskers won the first two sets, 25-17 and 25-14, respectively, Maryland pulled through and took the third set 25-18.

Still, the Huskers finished the match with a 3-1 victory to seal their sixth win in a row.

“It’s a win, but as I told them, sometimes (when) you win, you lose,” Cook said. “The way we played in Game 3 was not what we need to be doing this time of year.”

Sophomore libero Justine Wong-Orantes said the first two sets were well-played; the team communicated well and got the job done. But then, coming into the third set, the team lost that groove it had gotten into.

“I think we came out with a lot of fire and energy and didn’t let up,” Wong-Orantes said. “But that third set, coach called it complacency. I think we kind of let up, and stronger teams are probably going to take advantage of that, so we’ve just got to learn from this.”

In the first set, Nebraska hit a .387 clip and in the second set, the Huskers held Maryland to a .000 hitting percentage. But in the third set, Nebraska hit a .062 – one of

Senior forward David Rivers led the Huskers in rebounding with five total at the end of the first half against Northern Kentucky, but Nebraska coach Tim Miles said the team overall needs to work on its rebounding. “There’s always things we can get better at, and we just have to turn around, look at the film and get better from it,” Rivers said in a press conference after the game.

NU wins, falls short in rebounds NICK WILKINSON DN Nebraska defeated the Northern Kentucky Norse Sunday at the Pinnacle Bank Arena 80-61 in the Huskers’ season opener.

Nebraska coach Tim Miles made it very apparent in his post-game press conference that team’s rebounding needs work before Tuesday’s game against Central Arkansas. Nebraska recorded 33 rebounds total – only six of them offensively.

“I don’t think we rebounded well at all, that was very disappointing, but we will bounce back from that,” Miles said. “Let’s just face it, rebounding is a decision. Blocking out is a decision. We practice it, but it has to be a mental decision that you have to make. That is the frustrating part of why we are not committed to it.”

Senior forward David Rivers led the Huskers with six rebounds. Four rebounds from Rivers came after missed shots from his teammates.

“David was really good energy wise,” Miles said. “And I thought David was really good with activity and just doing a great job. David has improved, and I think he is better. I think sometimes the guys get their head down a little too much.”

Rivers emerged as a starter last season; his total season scoring was 10 points. Rivers came out

opening day and banked 5-5 from the court and 2-2 at the line. Rivers had a career-high 12 points on the day.

“If you look at Rivers and Shields – they were perfect,” NKU coach Dave Bezold said. “They were 9 of 9 combined with all those free throws. Those are the reasons why the game gets stretched out.”

Northern Kentucky finished the day with 36 total rebounds, 15 were offensive rebounds and 21 were defensive. NKU’s Jake Giesler grabbed seven rebounds of his own before getting into foul trouble midway through the second half.

“I thought we moved the ball well, played together,” Rivers said. “The motion movement without the ball was good, too, and we were patient.

That was key.”

As expected, Nebraska came out with six players who played 24 minutes or more: Rivers, junior guard Shavon Shields, junior forward Walter Pitchford, sophomore guard Tai Webster, junior forward Terran Petteway and junior guard Benny Parker.

Petteway spent the most time on the court for the Huskers with his 33-minute and a 25-point contribution to the team.

“I think it went all right,” Rivers said. “There’s always some things I can get better at, and we just have to turn around, look at the film and get better from it.”

At the end of the first half, each team finished

with 19 rebounds apiece. NKU finished the half with eight offensive rebounds and 11 defensive rebounds. Nebraska, also with 19 rebounds, finished the first half with four offensive rebounds and 15 defensive rebounds.

Rivers still led the team with five total rebounds at the end of the first, and senior center Moses Abraham finished the first half with four rebounds of his own, three defensively and one offensively. Abraham finished second in rebounds for the team at the end of the first half but didn’t get a single rebound in the second. In his first action with the Huskers, Abraham finished the day with two points in 12 minutes of play.

“I thought we defended OK, but because we didn’t rebound defensively good enough, that really hurt our defense,” Miles said. “We held them fairly well, under a point a possession, which we should. I didn’t think Walter or Moses engaged all that much the way they needed to, and that has to change if we want to play the way we want to.”

Petteway said if the Huskers want to be the team they claim to aspire to this year, then they have to improve at getting rebounds.

“Rebounding’s something we really have to get better at,” Petteway said. “We gave up 15 offensive boards to those guys, and that just can’t happen.”

Huskers grab 83 points, hold Alcorn State to 49 AUSTIN MOYLAN DN While it didn’t quite reach the century mark like the last game, the Nebraska women’s basketball team took care of business against the Alcorn State Braves on Sunday night, winning by a score of 83-49.

A day after shooting nearly 60 percent from the field, the Huskers cooled down a bit against the Braves. While their starters still shot almost 70 percent as a group, the rest of the team combined to shoot 7 of 33, bringing the team’s field goal percentage down to about 44 percent for the game.

“I thought we played a little bit better yesterday, when we weren’t quite as sloppy,” Nebraska coach Connie Yori said after the game.

“Today we were a bit more sloppy with the ball in the first half, although we did clean it up in the second half a little bit. We just turned it over too much, and I thought we were a little sloppy against their pressure.”

Nebraska turned the ball over against the Braves 14 times, many of which were errant passes on the fast break.

The Huskers were led on offense by junior point guard Rachel Theriot, who shot 7-9 from the field for the second straight game and finished with 18 points, five assists and five rebounds. She scored eight quick points at the start of the second half, including two threepointers.

“In the second half I was just playing a little more aggressive and just taking what I can get,” Theriot said. “Overall, it was just the team just playing better and executing more on offense.”

Yori spoke highly of Theriot after the game, hinting that her point guard is one of the top players at the position in the nation.

“She just plays with a pace that is unusual,” Yori said. “She never, ever looks like she is in a hurry. Even against pressure, she just doesn’t look hurried, doesn’t look rushed, she looks

very poised. That’s a very unusual characteristic to be able to do that consistently, day in and day out. Her IQ is off the charts. She just sees things, and she understands when she needs to take the shot and when she needs to make a play for someone else. I’m sure there’s other good point guards in the country, but she is just playing at a really high level.”

Nebraska took the lead for good a little more than four minutes into the game when it went on a 26-4 run that spanned 10 minutes. The run opened the game up and allowed for the Huskers to give some minutes to a lot of players who don’t normally see the court as often. All told, 12 different players played for Nebraska, and all but two of them scored for the Huskers.

Senior guard Brandi Jeffery followed her career-high 19 points on Saturday by scoring Nebraska’s first 10 points from the field against the Braves, another positive performance for a player who could really help Nebraska down the road.

“I think she’s just being more aggressive and shooting the ball with confidence. And obviously, it’s showing,” Theriot said of her teammate.

Yori was encouraged by Jeffery’s play this weekend and said she hopes she can continue the contributions.

“It’s been fun to watch here the last two games,” Yori said. “Hopefully, Brandi can keep doing that for us all year. We would love to see her continue to play at that rate. She’s a kid that’s been in the gym more than she ever has been. It’s always fun to watch a kid that spends time on their game and then you can see the fruits of their labor.”

Nebraska overwhelmed Alcorn State defensively, holding the Braves to only 49 points on 33 percent shooting. Every one of the 12 players who played for the Huskers pulled down at least one rebound, and Nebraska outrebounded the Braves as whole, 47-29.

The Huskers have a few days off before what will be a difficult road trip to Washington

Junior point guard Rachel Theriot played for 25 minutes against Alcorn State and made seven of nine field goals as well as five assists to help Nebraska to an 83-49 win and its second W of the weekend.

State, a team that beat Nebraska last season.

“Washington State will be really up for this game,” senior forward Hailie Sample said.

“They have pretty much the same returning people, so we know it’s going to be a pretty tough game.”

The Huskers have reason to believe that there will be a different outcome this time around, though, after a solid opening weekend

in Lincoln in which they won their two games by a combined 69 points.

Nebraska’s game in Pullman, Washington, tips off at 10 p.m. local time on Wednesday night. The Huskers return to Lincoln next Sunday when they play Utah at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.

Nebraska beats Maryland in NU Coliseum JACK GRIMSE DN Nebraska wrestling beat Maryland 42-3 Sunday afternoon at the NU Coliseum. Four pins, including one from junior Austin Wilson, made it a comfortable win in the first meeting between the two schools as conference opponents.

“It’s always nice to end the match with a pin, especially in front of a home crowd and with my favorite move,” Wilson said.

Matched up against Maryland’s Tyler Manion, Wilson was up 2-1 in the first period after getting a takedown but allowing Manion to escape. From the neutral position, Wilson snapped the Terrapin’s 165 pounder down into a front headlock and rolled Manion to his back with a gator roll, getting the fall with 14 seconds remaining in the first.

No. 16 Wilson improved his record on the season to 3-1. The Hastings native said it’s important to get things going smoothly early in the

season, both individually and as a team.

“I mean, you’ve gotta start fast and finish fast,” Wilson said. “We’re always trying to do these types of things every week, and this was definitely a good win for us.”

Nebraska started and ended the meet with pins. The crowd was on its feet prior to the day’s final match, the heavyweight bout between sophomore Collin Jensen and Ryan Kail.

They weren’t standing for long, as Jensen caught Kail in a cradle, pinning him just 67 seconds into the match.

“I know its called the 12th man in football, but whenever you’re out here wrestling with all the fans going crazy, it really helps you out 100 percent, all the time,” sophomore Justin Arthur said.

Arthur defeated Shane Arechiga by a major decision, narrowly missing a pin on two occasions. After getting an escape to go up 5-2 in the first period, Arthur felt there was an opportu-

nity to strike. Or rather, he heard it.

“When you have your headgear on it’s like tunnel vision, or select hearing of who you want to hear,” Arthur said. “Your coaches are always one of them, but man it felt like I had 80 coaches screaming to get me to take that guy down.”

Arechiga only had taken his eyes off Arthur to steal a glance at the Maryland coaches for half a second, but the roar of the crowd let Arthur know that now was his chance.

“I couldn’t block that voice out of my head,” he said. “All my body did was say, ‘All right, obviously this guy is open for a takedown, so get in there and get it,’ so that’s what I did.”

After hitting a double-leg takedown, the score was 8-2, and Arthur knew he hit the turning point in the match.

“As soon as I heard the crowd scream when I slammed him down, after that there was no way I could lose,” Arthur said.

His 17-5 major decision may have earned

the team four points, but it was also a boost to Arthur’s confidence. He may have lost his first dual match of the year last week against Wyoming but is beginning to feel more comfortable.

“I think nerves have a big role to play in how you perform,” Arthur said. “And the coaches say over and over again, live this as a practice situation. It’s nothing new, you’re just out here with a bunch more people watching.”

The crowd of 1,009 was much happier to witness it in the NU Coliseum rather than the wrestling room. They also got to witness senior James Green to join the 100-win club at Nebraska.

It was a thoroughly dominant display, with Maryland only taking one weight class, a 4-2 decision at 133 pounds by Geoffrey Alexander.

The team will travel to North Carolina to face Duke and NC State next Saturday.

Fullback puts in extra hours for limited play time Andy Janovich ensures he makes most of his time on field by working outside of practice

ERIC BERTRAND DN

It’s a blistering cold Tuesday night in Lincoln.

The Nebraska football team just finished practice, and players and coaches head for the exit at the Hawks Championship Center.

Some players and coaches meet with the media to answer questions.

But there are still two players who aren’t done with practice.

Fullback Andy Janovich and running back Imani Cross stayed after practice just like normal. After the juniors finished with the extra workout, they got a football and worked on catching passes from each other.

Then Janovich practiced handing the ball off to Cross.

All the other players are off the field, and some are just wrapping up interviews before Janovich and Cross begin to head toward the exit.

Despite being a fullback in an offense that doesn’t use the position in many plays, Janovich still stays after every practice to get in more work.

“He’s what we’re all about,” offensive coordinator Tim Beck said. “If there are a few guys you could take and say, ‘How would you describe the temperament of your football team?’ He is one of them.”

For Janovich, it’s just about improvement.

“Me and Imani just try to do whatever we can to be the best and at our top level,” Janovich said.

The Nebraska women’s basketball program has recruited some of the top high school players in the country for this season and next season. Nebraska coach Connie Yori said it’s because of the team’s weekly Top 25 ranking, its top-notch facilities and the overall quality of coaches and players.

NU facilities, notoriety attract top recruits ALLAN CHRISTENSEN DN For a long time, coaches have been saying, “It’s not the X’s and O’s, it’s the Jimmies and Joes.”

“Jimmy and Joe” are the proverbial big time recruits. In the case of the Husker women’s basketball team, the big time recruits are less “Jimmy” and more Jasmine. Less “Joe” and more Jessica.

Jasmine Cincore is a member of the sevenperson class of newcomers who are freshmen at Nebraska. That 2014 class was rated the No. 9 class in the country by ESPNW’s HoopGurlz

class rankings.

Jessica Shepard is the crown jewel of the 2015 class. The No. 3 prospect in the country, the No. 1 forward and a member of the U18 National Team, Shepard is 1 of 4 incoming recruits who make up HoopGurlz No. 8 class in the country.

Nebraska coach Connie Yori said there’s no question that recruiting has upgraded the last few years and there’s a number of reasons why the Jasmines and the Jessicas, the Kaylees and the Lanies, the Natalies and the Anyas are coming to join the Big Red. First on Yori’s list was recent success on the

court.

Women all over the country can see Nebraska in the Top 25 week in and week out.

Wins attract winners. Last year, Nebraska went 22-6, took home the Big Ten Tournament title and qualified for the NCAA tournament. In 2010, the Huskers finished an undefeated regular season and won a Big 12 championship.

That kind of success can only catch the eye of potential recruits, knowing that coming to Nebraska means playing in March and playing for championships.

Nebraska’s pedigree has only been enhanced by the addition of new facilities that

can wow any recruit when she visits Nebraska.

Jim Page, father of current Husker Kaylee Page and 2015 Husker recruit Lanie Page, said the athletic department’s display of commitment to all sports is what first caught his eye when looking at schools for his daughters. Women’s basketball didn’t seem like a second-tier sport at Nebraska, Page said, unlike some of the other larger programs that were recruiting the Page sisters.

Kaylee Page said she was amazed when she first saw the Husker locker room.

NU sophomore squad helps lead rifle team SETH OLSON DN The Three Musketeers of the rifle team are from opposite ends of the country.

Jaycee Carter is from Northern California, Rachel Martin from New Mexico and Lauren Phillips from Washington.

The three sophomores have competed against one another since high school in the Junior Olympics and other junior national matches. They didn’t officially get acquainted, though, until they met again in college.

“I am so thankful I met (Martin) then,” Carter said. “She quickly became the sister I never had and has helped make my college experience very special.”

Martin didn’t know the other two either before choosing Nebraska, but meeting Carter that summer before the start of their freshman year impacted their friendship.

“I remember thinking how completely different we were and wondered what kind of teammates we would be to each other,” Martin said. “Today, Jaycee is one of my best friends, and I am so thankful to have her as a teammate. She is such a blessing in my life.”

Martin said growing up in different places has given them plenty of things to talk about, but rifle is the underlying commonality.

“We all grew up very differently, so it’s fun for us to share our memories with each other and see the differences between us,” Martin said. “We also have very different reasons for why we compete. We are extremely different individuals, but we are able to work together to do the best for our team.”

Together, the three of them help to unify the team, Carter said.

“Being all sophomores, we have a unique dynamic among the three of us,” Carter said.

“We have gone through so many things together, which gives me comfort knowing that PHOTO BY WILL STOTT | DN I’m never alone.”

“Not only was this an event where we competed against teams in our conference, but we were able to spend time with our friends from other teams who we may have competed against all throughout high school,” Carter said. “For me, seeing how close the shooting community makes shooting all that more special and close to my heart.”

Both Carter and Martin have goals to excel on the range but also become better people.

“We want to continue to work to not only be the best competitors we can be, but also

create better people,” Carter said. “When we look back at our college career we want to know we trained to our fullest ability on the range but also be people who can be a positive influence to those around us.”

Martin has the same motives as her other two sophomore teammates continue to strive to be great shooters and better people.

“Shooting is a huge part of our lives,” Martin said. “But the people that we become along the way is the most important thing.”

What is Reverse Transfer?

Reverse transfer is the process of awarding an associate degree to students who begin their education at SCC, transfer to another institution, and complete their associate degree requirements while working toward a bachelor’s degree. In this case, UNL.

Why do it?

• The completed degree is a marketable credential for your resume and an important milestone in your education.

• Employers value a degree as evidence of your commitment to expanding your knowledge and achieving your educational goals.

• A degree can help you land a better job while continuing your education.

“This process has allowed me to accomplish my educational career goals. I’m very appreciative of all the advising staff at SCC who helped me. It was a very quick and easy transfer, and in the end I felt a sense of accomplishment.”

Nebraska journey ends at NCAA Midwest Regional SETH OLSON DN The Nebraska cross country season came to a halt on Friday in Peoria, Illinois, at the NCAA Midwest Regional for both the men’s and the women’s teams.

The Husker men finished 20th out of 29 teams, while the Husker women finished 29th out of 32 teams.

Sophomore Joe Harter led the way for the men, finishing in 76th place with a time of 31:17 in the 10K race, which was the team’s first race of that distance all year. Junior Jonah Heng was just 15 seconds behind his teammate, coming in at 31:32, which was good for 95th place. Freshman Austin Post was the third Husker to finish, and came in 125th place. Junior Nolan Border checked in at 32:10, just three seconds behind Heng and 131st overall. Sophomore Pat Letz rounded out the Huskers top five in 133rd place with a time of 32:16.

Nebraska coach David Harris said the men may have reached their high point last year when they finished ninth in the region.

Four out of those top five finishers on their team last year weren’t there this year, though.

The only one back was Harter, who was the Huskers top runner for the men on Friday.

“We redshirted a few early on in the season and a few others had injuries,” Harris said. “We lost some senior leadership from last year too. We missed that this year, but the inexperience will become experience soon.”

Sophomore Anna Peer led the way for the Husker women, but she was unable to attain her goal of qualifying for the NCAA Championships. Instead, she finished 55th in the 6K race in a time of 21:21, which was nearly a minute slower than her finish at the Big Ten Championships just a few weeks prior.

“Not a lot went well for me Friday,” Peer said. “I had a hard time getting off of the line and could not get into a rhythm during the race.”

Although Peer said she couldn’t get into a rhythm, she and Coach Harris couldn’t exactly pinpoint why she didn’t run as well.

“Anna didn’t run her usual on Friday,” Harris said. “She just didn’t look the same as the Big Ten meet. Our game plan was to stick with the top 25, but afterward we couldn’t put our finger on what went wrong or why it happened the way it did.”

For Peer, she clearly wasn’t satisfied with how her season ended, especially after a confidence-boosting conference meet in which she earned second team All-Big Ten honors.

“I believe that I did not run to what I am capable of yesterday, which is obviously very disappointing,” Peer said. “I am not happy with the results. I did not reach the goals I had set for myself.”

In addition to a much-needed break after months of countless workouts, Peer said looking back at her previous training up to this point could unlock the key to qualifying for the NCAA Championships further on down the road.

“I think I need to go back and look at my training logs from the season and evaluate where there could be improvement,”

Sophomore cross country runner Anna Peer led the way for the Huskers at the NCAA Midwest Regional. Peer, however, didn’t qualify for the championships and finished 55th in the 6K race with a time of 21:21. “Not a lot went well for me on Friday,” she said. “I had a hard time getting off the land and could not get into a rhythm during the race.”

Peer said. “I think that tweaking things here and there a little bit will help me qualify for NCAAs next year.”

Regardless of how the season ended, the Iowa native is pleased with everything she has achieved.

“Overall, looking back at my season, I am very proud of what I accomplished,” Peer said. “This was a breakout season of sorts for me. I have had consistent training and good results so I’m excited for what is to come.”

For the rest of the women’s team, it was much of the same story as the men. The women slotted their third, fourth and fifth runners within 10 seconds of each other.

“As a team, we obviously still have a long way to go,” Peer said. “Part of that has to do with the fact that we are so young.”

Four of the top seven runners for the Husker women were freshmen, and Peer is a sophomore. Harris said the future is bright, but he also realizes how the lack of experience factor pulled a big weight in their performances this season.

“We have a young team with a lot of fresh-

men,” Harris said. “They’re working hard, very hard. I know they are working hard, but they seem sometimes to get overwhelmed with the importance of the race, the number of runners and the talent-loaded field.”

Harris said all his athletes are working hard, but both the men and the women are still not quite there yet in meets with big time competition, where there are many runners who are very talented. Despite the hard work the team is putting in, Harris constantly goes back to a key philosophy of his.

“I’ve always said, ‘You can never shy away from hard work.’ Each runner has to make a decision of how good of a runner they want to be,” Harris said. “This happens when I’m not around though. Usually it is in the summer, which is the most important time.”

Peer emphasized getting ready for indoor track season, and Harris knows that both the indoor and outdoor track seasons without a doubt will help the runners on both sides next year in cross country.

“Track season will definitely help them a lot for next year,” Harris said. “Actually,

many of the runners are better in track than cross country at this point, including Anna.

From running well in track, they will all gain confidence moving forward.”

Peer and the rest of the team may have not had the storybook ending that they were hoping for, but she realizes there is a silver lining in the midst.

“It’s always tough to end the season on such a bitter note, but what happened, happened,” Peer said. “And regardless of that, I am still proud of what I accomplished this season.”

Peer ’s words resonate throughout the entire Nebraska cross country team, on both the men’s and the women’s side. Both are teams may be young, injury-riddled and redshirt woven, but because of that, there’s a high ceiling. And because of the high ceiling, those words can be used as building blocks for next season and the years to come.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: FROM 19

VOLLEYBALL: FROM 16

People watch Rachel Theriot, and they’re like, ‘Man, I’d like to play with her.’ OK, when people watch and know about Jess Shepard, and they know she’s played USA basketball, good guards want to come play with her. Who wouldn’t want to play with Jess Shepard?”

“I was so excited and pumped up when I first saw it,” Page said.

Cincore said she was speechless when she saw the facilities at the Hendrix Center.

“I was almost in a dream,” Cincore said.

The Hendrix Center provides a recruiting advantage that many schools are unable to match. The fact that the Husker women have their own practice space and don’t have to share a gym with the men’s team is another major selling point. The monetary show of support from the school for the women’s team showed the eventual commits that they wouldn’t be second-class citizens.

The support from inside the athletic department isn’t the only support that attracted the blue-chip recruits to Nebraska. Lanie Page, a four-star recruit from Alma, Kansas, said Husker Nation played a big part in winning her commitment.

“I love coming to the games. All the fans

are so supportive,” Page said. “After I signed (my letter of intent), I had three people stop me and say ‘Hey, congrats. We’re really excited to watch you next year.’”

At Nebraska’s regular season opener, there were more than 4,500 fans in attendance. This for a game that tipped off at 11 a.m. during a snow storm. Those fans watched as newcomers guard Natalie Romeo and forward Anya Kalenta played meaningful minutes in a 100-65 victory against Pepperdine. Kalenta’s debut included 14 points and eight rebounds.

Yori said she believes the more talented players Nebraska brings in the more it will attract talented players to the university.

“People watch (junior guard) Rachel Theriot, and they’re like, ‘Man, I’d like to play with her.’ OK, when people watch and know about Jess Shepard, and they know she’s played USA basketball, good guards want to come play with her,” Yori said. “Who wouldn’t want to
