The organization Black Cat House hosted the Abolish Columbus Day protest for the first time Monday, although individual members have held such protests before.

They held signs that read “Murderers Don’t Deserve A Holiday,” “Columbus Was No Hero,” “Columbus Was A Murderer” and “Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!” Drivers who passed by the protest honked, waved, gave a thumbs-up and even threw up peace signs. The protesters stopped after about an hour because of the heavy rain.

Black Cat House is a relatively young organization based in Lincoln, said Ashley Martin, one of the protest organizers. Black Cat House is an organization dedicated to educating community members “about oppressive power structures and how to dismantle them,” according to its website.

UNL tows less than 70 cars off campus in past 8 months Sarah Cohen DN In eight months – January through August 2013 – the University of Nebraska-Lincoln ordered 65 cars to be towed off its premises.

Of these vehicles impounded and towed off UNL property, 43 vehicles were parked in reserve spaces, 11 vehicles were parked in “no parking areas,” three cars were nuisance vehicles, meaning the owner had racked up five or more citations within a 30-day period, two vehicles were reported lost or stolen and UNL police impounded an additional 20 vehicles.

When a vehicle is parked illegally or violates the university impoundment policy, either parking enforcement from UNL, Park & Go or the police department calls Capital Towing. If the vehicle is parked on university property, citations will be administered from UNL Parking and Transit Services, but on Lincoln city streets, individuals have to resolve citations and pay tickets through Park & Go. “I would say we call for three

to six tows each week off the streets,” said Tony Bisesi, general manager of Park & Go, which is the City of Lincoln’s parking service enforcement.

Most of Park & Go’s tows happen between 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. during rushhour times, Bisesi said. A few also occur on the weekends for drivers who park downtown in taxi zones.

Park & Go issues the blackhooded meters for special events such as bus transit convenience on Husker gamedays and events like the Homecoming parade and the American Red Cross blood drive, but Bisesi said most tows have nothing to do with hooded meter violations.

Dan Carpenter is the director of Parking and Transit Services for the University of Nebraska-

Lincoln. He said both UNL and the City of Lincoln use Capital Towing because they have a lot of the same customers and commuters, the university decided to join in on this contract.

According to Capital Towing’s impounding fee information, a university-ordered basic tow starts with a $44 hook-up fee. But after adding the fees associated with additional dollies, a winch, fuel surcharges, mileage and mechanical fees, as well as potential storage fees, the total to get a vehicle out of impoundment quickly becomes expensive.

When a car gets towed, the owner must call Capital Towing to confirm that his or her car is in the impound lot, which is

Campus police provide sexual assault prevention tips As part of UNL Week Without Violence, UNLPD asks students to be cautious, but not paranoid Colleen Fell DN Two University of Nebraska-Lincoln police officers spoke Monday afternoon at a “Campus Safety Lunch and Learn” presentation about the importance of sexual assault education and the reporting of sex crimes. The event took place in the Georgian Suite of the Nebraska Union on the topic of campus safety concerns.

The presentation was the first in a series of events for the UNL Week Without Violence, which is dedicated to educating and en-

couraging individuals to take a stand against violence. The weeklong event is organized by the UNL Women’s Center. Events will take place each day of the week, including speakers and discussions on topics of gender violence and domestic abuse.

Officer Koan Nissen of UNLPD, one of the presenters, spoke about personal safety on campus and situational awareness. Part of the presentation was a discussion among faculty who attended the event about what safety procedures are on campus.

“Sometimes people are walking late at night from an academic building,” Nissen said. “And they don’t necessarily want an officer to escort them.”

Nissen said the alternative to having an officer escort is a camera escort. This safety method involves officers tracking a person by watching campus cameras as they go to their car, building or other destination.

“It’s almost like a virtual es-

cort,” Nissen said.

Police escorts can be beneficial but individuals should still be aware of their surroundings, Nissen said. When someone is walking out of a building, they should look away from their phones or other devices and pay attention to who and what is in the area.

“You don’t have to live paranoid, just live smart,” Nissen said.

Sgt. David Dibelka of UNLPD later spoke about sexual assaults that occur on campus and the importance of reporting the crimes.

He said one major misconception people have is that police will not take the crime seriously.

Workshop acclimates students with resources

“We’re playing catchup with not blaming victims,” Dibelka said.

UNLPD has only about two or three cases of sexual assault reported each year, he said.

“We know that there’s a lot more out there,” he said.

Jan Deeds, director of the UNL Women’s Center and associate director of UNL Gender Programs, said it’s a common problem for people to blame victims of sexual assault cases.

“If a friend tells you that they have been experiencing abuse, the common response is to investigate,” Deeds said. “However,

what you should say is ‘I’m sorry that this happened to you, let me help you.’”

Instead of only women taking preventative measures, Dibelka said it is also important that men are educated on the subject.

“Why aren’t we telling young men to stop raping people?” he said.

Nissen said that the process begins with education.

“It starts with face-to-face communication of young men and spreading the message of personal responsibility,” Nissen said.

Both Nissen and Dibelka said that they want to spread the message that police takes all victims’ cases seriously, even if the details are foggy.

“Sometimes individuals will be hesitant to report sexual assault because they are not sure what happened,” Dibelka said. “But we’d rather go to 99 fake calls then miss the one important one.”

Victims have other options when it comes to domestic and sexual violence, Dibelka said.

Tyler Williams DN The Office of Academic Success and Intercultural Services is hosting informational sessions for different departments at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln titled “Allow me to introduce myself” on Tuesday and Wednesday.

One session will be from 2 p.m. to 2:50 p.m. on Tuesday and another from 2:30 p.m. to 3:20 p.m. on Wednesday in the Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center’s Unity Room.

The sessions will present information on different departments, resources and involvement opportunities on campus.

Some of the participating groups are the LGBTQA Resource Center, the Women’s Center, Student Involvement, Career Services, Campus Recreation and the Coun-

seling and Psychological Services.

The sessions are free to all students, faculty and staff.

The information sessions are about putting a face with a name, according to Sara Sanchez, program coordinator for the Office of Academic Success and Intercultural Services.

For many organizations this is an opportunity for outreach to the student body, said Jake Kirkland, assistant director of Career Services. “(It’s) about letting students know that there are helpful, friendly people here that want to help (students) in their career endeavors,” he said. “To increase the student population you have to help the population it already has succeed.”

While most of the organizations attending the information session will be handing out information cards, event calenders and contact

information, some groups are also taking “Allow me to introduce myself” as an opportunity to break down some stereotypes and misconceptions about their organizations.

One group with that goal is the LGBTQA Resource Center, which will also be present at the information session. The center is attempting to make its presence known to the community.

“It is trying to get people to realize it is relevant to everyone on some level,” LGBTQA Resource Center Director Pat Tetreault said of the center.

“Allow me to introduce myself” is just the first in a week-long series of events that the Office of Academic Success and Intercultural Services is planning to reach out and help students be aware of more resources at UNL. news@ dailynebraskan.com

who potentially murdered and enslaved thousands of people.”

Martin said abolishing Columbus Day would be “a huge, symbolic step forward.”

“When you’re celebrating the work of somebody who was responsible for the deaths of thousands of people, it is a big deal,” she said. “Having Columbus Day be recognized as a national holiday is a lot like having a Hitler Day.” Jackson Meredith, another organizer with Black Cat House, has hosted protests similar to Monday’s for the past 10 years in Lincoln. Meredith said protesters chose the corner of 15th and O streets for its visibility, especially to Lincolnites returning home from work between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m.

“Some people aren’t comfortable dealing with police, we get it,” he said.

If this is the case, police can connect individuals with crisis centers, such as Voices of Hope in Lincoln.

If someone is suspicious that domestic violence is taking place, there are warning signs to look for, Nissen said. Common signs can include physical marks such as a black eye or defensive wounds on the hands, wrists or arms. Other signs can be if a person is receiving a high number of personal phone calls at work or if a person does not have access to their possessions such as a cell phone or car.

Deeds said that these events are important not only for women to attend, but for all students and faculty.

“It’s important for everyone to be here because violence affects everyone,” Deeds said. “We want to make campus and the world a safe place.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

“I’ve never had problems with police in the past, since what we’re doing is legal,” he said. “Of course, you get a few hecklers in their cars, but that’s to be expected.”

Charlotte Knoflicek, a former UNL student at what was then the College of Home Economics in the early 1980s and member of the Rosebud Sioux tribe, held a sign that read “Columbus Proves Consumerism Is Genocide.” She said Columbus Day reflects a wide trend of consumerism in America.

“Columbus Day celebrates how Columbus spread destruction and took possession of everything,” Knoflicek said. “Consumerism is a culture of no culture.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

located at 101 Charleston St., right by The View apartment complex. Then the owner has to go to the impound lot and present a valid driver ’s license as well as registration and proof of insurance for the car and the total fee, which is usually around $130.

Carpenter said students seem to think some areas are checked less frequently or the likelihood of getting caught for unlawful parking is higher around some parts of campus.

But he said the most common case of vehicle impounding, wheel lock or towing is simply because drivers allow citations to be unpaid past 30 days.

“The university doesn’t get a reimbursement for the cars we call in to be towed,” Carpenter said. “As long as students just pay their violations and resist parking their vehicles unlawfully or in reserved parking areas, vehicles won’t be impounded.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

big ten briefs OSU to unite Asiapacific research with international symposium

Ohio State University will host the AsiaPacific Space Geodynamics Program International Symposium Oct. 14 to 17.

This will be the first time the symposium is held in the United States.

The objective is to unite relevant research in the Asia-Pacific region – China, Japan, and Southeast Asia and the northern Indian Ocean boundary zone – into a cooperative project in plate tectonic and sea level changes. Researchers hope the partnerships will lead to more accurate prediction of major natural disasters.

The 100,000-square-foot education center is scheduled to open in fall 2015. The center will staff faculty and graduate students from the university as well as Kirkwood Community College and Wood Area Educational Agency.

The age-old pastime of popcorn and a movie is making you immune to pre-movie advertising, according to a new study released by the University of Cologne. Researchers found that whenever a product or a person’s name is presented, subconsciously, the brain tries to pronounce the name.

But this pattern can be interrupted by chewing or whispering, which can break the brain’s process of word repetition advertisers use to gain a consumer’s attention, like when you eat popcorn or candy.

The results of this study suggest that selling products before the movie has started to become less effective and advertising clients might consider try901 ing to wait until the movie has started before4 selling 5678 123 field products. However, “more research and larger surveys are necessary to justify such big changes in marketing policies,” the study said.

Students react to library changes 1234

Upcoming renovations to Love Library North will remove books from the first floor to make way for a learning commons. The books, which cover topics like business, political science, education and sociology, would be moved to an off-campus storage unit, which students will be able to access at a later date. The learning commons will include a small café, lounge seating, additional computer stations, individual study rooms, a study space, a new entrance and landscaping.

A public session Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. in Love Library North, Room 111, will give students and faculty an opportunity to share their views on the remodeling.

The DN asked students: What do you think of Love Library’s decision to remove books from the first floor to make way for a social lounge?

“Texting while driving is dangerous, (but men) also believe that they are better at texting while driving than other drivers,” wrote Kings College professors Garold Lantz and Sandra Loeb.

The study, published in the International Journal of Sustainable Strategic Management, revealed that four out of five college students text and drive, and an average of 82 texts were sent in a day, with women sending more than average and men sending less.

The researchers were looking for the link between a person’s impulsiveness and likelihood to text and drive, but they agreed that further research was needed.

Feeling chubby? It might be because you’re feeling guilty, according to a study by the University of Waterloo and Princeton University.

Researchers split 153 college students into three groups and then asked one group of students to recall an ethical decision they made, the second group to recall an unethical decision and the final group wasn’t asked about a decision.

The results found that the group members asked to remember the unethical decision felt heavier than the people in the other two groups.

The pay-by-phone service also sends users text messages when their time is about to expire.

Dan Carpenter, director of parking and transit services, wrote in an email that UNL Parking and Transit Services installs and maintains the MobileNow! sticker and informational signs on meters. MobileNow! takes care of the phone and smartphone app infrastructure.

“This service is an enhancement to our short-term parking program allowing a simple, easy way to pay for parking at a meter,” Carpenter said.

The pay-by-phone meters charge $5 per day and $1 per hour with a $0.25 convenience charge for each transaction.

The service is available at all UNL parking meters, while some locations are designated solely to people who use pay by phone meters.

Some locations include eight spaces at the 17th and R streets garage, six spaces at Hardin Hall and 15 spaces north of the College

Kissing is an important tool in assessing potential partners, says a study released from Oxford University.

Grant Varney, a senior English major, said he hasn’t used the pay-by-phone meters, but he said he might in the future.

“It’s always easier to pay for stuff when you’re not using actual money,” Varney said.

He said finding a quarter somewhere in a car isn’t always feasible and being able to use a phone to pay for parking is more convenient.

“In the digital age we all have phones, so we all have the ability to pay for parking then,” he said.

Carpenter wrote that the trend of paying for goods and services has shifted toward cashless payments because less people are carrying cash. He wrote in an email that more customers have opted to use credit and debit cards while also using smartphone technology.

“Students tend to adopt technology solutions at a high rate as a means of convenience and will use methods like smartphone applications,” he said.

This is the third time UNL has offered pay-by-phone parking. In June 2011, UNL introduced the

Chandler Brill, a junior advertising and public relations major, said she doesn’t have a parking permit and uses the parking meters on campus.

Brill said she thinks having the pay-by-phone meters was a good idea because not everyone wants to pay for a parking permit for a whole year.

She said it’s hard to always have change ready for parking meters and having the option to pay by phone is convenient.

“I know that the parking meters downtown have the card thing now, and that’s nice,” Brill said.

She said she has seen the stick-

ers on the meters that advertise the pay by phone service, but she hasn’t used it yet.

“I haven’t called in yet, but I want to,” she said.

Carpenter wrote that the growth in usage of the pay by phone meters is because it’s convenient.

“Whether it is paying for parking, movie tickets or coffee, it provides the customer with a greater sense of control,” Carpenter said.

Be careful with the company credit card. The Future of Travel Study by Harris Interactive for Expedia asked 8,535 employed adults in 3456 9012 5678 24 countries on five 4 3 2 1 continents about how they conduct business and leisure travel.

Researchers found that millennials, defined in the study as people aged 18 to 30 years old, were more likely to spend the company’s money when traveling, as compared to other age groups. Other findings in the study suggest that millennials are “more comfortable mixing business with pleasure,” and “are more likely to voice their displeasure” by posting negative reviews online. Most of the study’s participants in all age groups felt that they were entitled to reward points when traveling for business, while location was still rated the most important feature for traveling when it came to booking hotels.

Educate yourself on dangers, prevention of violence Oct. 13-19 is the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s 15th Week Without Violence, organized by the UNL Women’s Center. Today, in particular, will feature a brown-bag discussion on “Campuses Response to Relationship Violence” at noon in the Nebraska Union. Other events later in the week include Take Back the Night Wednesday night and a candlelight vigil for victims of relationship violence on Thursday.

The Daily Nebraskan Editorial Board encourages all students to participate in the week’s events.

Education like this is an important first step in combatting issues like relationship and gender violence for victims and their allies alike. Of course, it provides victims of such violence with important resources like reporting options and counseling. But it also shows friends and loved ones how they can give the most effective support possible.

You might be thinking, “This doesn’t really affect me, so why should I participate?” Even if you aren’t a victim of relationship or gender violence, statistics indicate you might know someone who is. In fact, the United States Department of Justice said rape is the most common violent crime on campuses, with approximately 25 percent of women and 3 percent of men as victims.

Think about your biggest class. Chances are these types of violence will touch the lives of at least a handful of people there. Think about the people in your life. It could be your roommate, your coworker, your fraternity brother, your sorority sister or even your best friend.

It’s important we do our best to foster a safe environment at UNL, and the Week Without Violence is an easy way to start. If you’re interested in going, check out the DN’s news or arts & life sections, the Women’s Center or postings around campus for event times, descriptions and locations.

Women must stop trading criticism

H

ow long has it been since the Video Music Awards? It’s been a while, and yet we’re still talking about the Miley Cyrus controversy. Blogs are still running and open letters are being written left and right, and who’s been writing a good majority of them? Women.

As of Oct. 9, singer Sinead O’Connor has had four letter exchanges with the “Can’t Be Tamed” singer, each time urging her to clean up her act. Have her letters had good intentions? Yes. She’s tried hinting to Miley that she doesn’t need her sex appeal to sell albums, but unsurprisingly, she hasn’t taken her up on her advice. As of late, the two singers have escalated into more of a battle with one another. Cyrus has re-tweeted some of tweets O’Connor posted two years ago when she was seeking mental help, and Sinead is threatening legal action if she doesn’t remove her tweets.

This is all because one singer tried shaping the other. Although I agree with O’Connor ’s points about how we don’t want young girls to feel as if they can’t be successful unless they dress provocatively, I also believe it’s wrong to censor what they can and cannot do with their bodies. Amanda Palmer, an alternative rock singer, put it best in her own open letter to Sinead. She defends some of the points Sinead addressed in her original advice for Cyrus, but says because it appears as though Cyrus is the one in charge of her own career, why should anyone stop her?

“She’s been taking advantage of herself, of her youth, her fame and her sexuality and she knows it…,” Palmer said. “Telling her that her team is to blame is telling her that she’s not steering her own career and decisions, and I think she’ll just feel patronized.”

After seeing how the interactions between O’Connor and Cyrus have escalated, it looks like Palmer was right in her predictions. But

why are women so critical of one another?

How many open letters from mothers to Miley have you seen be published in the last month?

I know I’ve seen more than I could shake a wrecking ball at, and yet this sort of thing isn’t anything new to the public eye. Women in popular culture are always being critiqued, whether they’re in politics or models in magazines. Sarah Palin is too sexy and dumb to be vice president. Hillary Clinton is too manly.

The models are too fat and too skinny at the same time.

Women are not only double-binded by men, but are inflicting this catch-22 judgment onto themselves. Just the other day while I was hanging out with some other girls at lunch, they were talking about how women shouldn’t be wearing clothes that are sexually suggestive in nature. It made them out to be “whores” and “sluts” all because they were wearing shorts that barely swallowed their butts. They suggested such clothing should be illegal.

Although I don’t enjoy seeing another girl’s bum on my way to class, who are we to judge her? I retorted light-heartedly, giving my props to her for being confident with her body and that I wished that I was as confident as she was. If I was that confident, goodness knows how much easier life would be without constantly worrying about how others perceived me.

I can’t help but feel that confidence is part of the equation to this whole mess. Constantly, women are bombarded by commercials telling them they’re too fat, or their faces aren’t perfect until they buy Covergirl or until they go under the knife. Less than 5 percent of the female population fits the social ideal of thin, and for more reasons than not, it hurts to know that. When you’re faced under that much scrutiny, what else makes you feel better but finding the imperfections in others? Yeah, my boobs might be big, but at least they’re real.

Oh, sure I’m fat, but at least I’m not a skinny bitch like she is. She’s trying too hard to look good, look at how much makeup she’s caked onto her face – it’s just pathetic. We all do it, sometimes without even meaning to. We size ourselves up with other girls because from what we gather from the media, life is a competition to be the sexiest. Heck, if I see another “Sexiest Woman Alive” countdown, I think I’ll puke.

What women need to realize is that they’re art. They’re nature’s creations, and every curve and gray hair shouldn’t be scrutinized – they should be admired. If you’re skinny and happy about it, go ahead and compliment your figure with tight clothes. And if you’d rather not, then go ahead and wear a baggy T-shirt.

Women are gorgeous, not only in the sense of beauty, but in the sense of who they are as human beings. The moment we all come together and realize this, the world will be better for it.

In the time we’re not writing up other women telling them how to live their lives, the more we can spend writing letters to Congress and voicing our opinions about things that really matter.

Respect all deadlines, they don’t only affect you

I

t’s midterm season. Everyone’s frantically handing in papers or studying for tests. At least, that’s what professors are hoping we’re all doing. A general rule of thumb for many college students is to ignore the problem until it goes away (or maybe that’s just me in my geology class). That means late papers, shoddy test scores and a whole lot of stress on all sides.

Deadlines, more often than not, are extremely important. You may not always get a professor who takes a late paper or grades the test on a curve. All of my professors this year won’t take anything late — if you fail to come through, you get a zero. No exceptions.

Speaking as someone who’d like to graduate without repeating classes, late work just isn’t worth it in the long run.

It’s not good practice for all of the real world scenarios the adults keep telling us about. Professors, as mean as some of them can get sometimes, are significantly nicer than the typical boss outside of the college environment. And the consequences for late work are a bit higher once you’re out of this nifty college bubble.

To start, imagine a scenario where you’re relying on someone else to finish something before a deadline. Should be

easy. The world runs on time limits.

You take your car to the shop for some repairs. The mechanic estimates that it’ll be ready to go by Thursday. You call Thursday, and it’s not done. You call Friday, and it’s not done. They’re closed on weekends. End result: you’re screwed.

The dentist says it’ll take an hour to fill your tooth, and it actually ends up taking three hours. You miss an important work meeting because you were stuck at the dentist’s. Explaining that one to your boss goes about as swimmingly as you hoped — which is to say, not swimmingly at all.

Your professors say they’ll have the assignment parameters up on BlackBoard after class. You go home, and no assignment has been uploaded. You’re going out of town for the weekend and only have time to do the task today. You’re stuck.

And now let’s flip the scenarios. What if you’re the one responsible for the delay?

Your tax return is due by Monday.

It’s Wednesday, and there’s still no tax return. Your accountant is trying to help you but can’t do much without the paperwork. You end up filing it late and then have to pay an extra certain percentage of that unpaid tax. There goes your vacation money.

Emme Grafton

The boss requests that you complete the task for the client by Thursday. You get it done by Friday afternoon, and the client’s mad that their paperwork is late.

Your boss is mad, too. This is the third time you’ve failed to come through. You get fired.

Your rent is due on Monday. You forget about it until Sunday. Your apartment’s main office is closed until Tuesday, because it’s a holiday. You call your roommate in a panic because you don’t have extra money to spare that month for the late fee. Roommate is MIA. So much for that plan!

Real world aside, the university has all kinds of deadlines that should be followed. Scholarship applications have due dates because the higher-ups need a chance to, you know, actually look over what the applicants send in. Study-

abroad programs revolve around time limits, like the ones for passports or certain paperwork. Internships have sign-up deadlines. You can’t afford to delay your purchase of football tickets. Those who like East Stadium have to sign up quickly because those freaking tickets vanish quickly.

Most importantly, though, if you don’t hand in your graduation paperwork on time, then the diploma doesn’t get ordered, and your graduation day gets postponed.

Missing a deadline can affect other people besides you, too, which is arguably worse. Making it hard on yourself is bad enough – making it hard for everyone else because you couldn’t get your shit together by Monday morning is just plain rude.

Just look at our government right now. They missed a deadline, and shit hit the fan fast. One group’s actions (or lack thereof) ended up affecting a ton of other people, all because they refused to acknowledge one important due date.

Jobs and industries all across the board have been put on hold. National monuments, including the Statue of Liberty, are closed to the public. Towns that depend on tourism are suffering big time.

Important research institutions, like the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-

tion, are on an enforced break. Assistance for low-income families has been cut off.

Unemployment rates are skyrocketing (500 percent in Utah, as an example).

Of course, a missed college paper deadline doesn’t shut down the government (thank goodness for that, or the government would have no chance at all). That college paper deadline is good practice for future time limits, though — ones that can’t be overlooked.

When someone sets a deadline, it’s just polite to follow through on it, or to at least really try to follow through on it. To do otherwise is basically saying, “I don’t respect you enough to get this done on time.” Call me crazy, but people generally like being respected by others. And many of those people also hate delays and wasted time.

So consider trying really hard to get that paper handed in on time during midterms. Doing so will prevent a chain reaction of messiness down the road, and it’s good practice for future tasks. Plus, it’s just really polite. Respect the deadline; don’t scoff at it.

Underground

exposure A diverse range of bands gear up for 5-day musical festival, Lincoln Calling Story by Madeline Christensen

S

ave your gas. This week, you won’t need to empty your savings or even cross state lines to see a non-stop lineup of quality music.

Lincoln’s own fall music festival, Lincoln Calling, has been growing ever since its humble beginnings 10 years ago when Hear Nebraska contributor and University of Nebraska-Lincoln graduate, Jeremy Buckley, started the event as a student in 2004.

Now, the festival spans over five days and features more than 100 bands, both regional and international.

Buckley said Lincoln Calling is a combination of bands that apply to perform in the festival and bands he seeks out.

“It’s almost like a fantasy draft of bands I want to see,” Buckley said.

However, Buckley said he likes to keep the lineup as diverse as possible.

“There’s a lot of bands that people listen to, and the goal of this is to try to get as many people to pay attention to music in Lincoln as possible,” he said. “So I definitely have to remember not to overwhelm the lineup with stuff that’s there just because I want to see it.”

With a jam-packed schedule, festival-goers won’t be waiting around for the next concert. Ten venues in downtown Lincoln will be a part of Lincoln Calling this year, all boasting varied lineups for music lovers of all genres.

“You can catch a show at any time,” Hear Nebraska’s managing editor Michael Todd said. “Lincoln Calling is one of the most established local music events in Lincoln.”

Hear Nebraska, a sponsor of Lincoln Calling, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to covering the local music scene across the state.

“Those who have never been exposed to Lincoln’s local music scene I think will be surprised by the quality,” Todd said. “Lincoln Calling is a good opportunity to be surprised.”

Will Harman of A Ferocious

Jon Dell performs in Bonehart Flannigan at Lincoln Calling 2012. He also plays for Universe Contest and will be at The Zoo Bar on Wednesday.

Jungle Cat will be playing at Lincoln Calling for the first time this year, and although the group is new to the festival, that doesn’t mean they’re not, well, ferociously excited.

“Just a message to the students: Don’t leave for fall break without stopping by and shaking your thang for at least a few minutes with us,” Harman said.

The band hopes to catch at least one set of fellow local band Josh Hoyer and the Shadowboxers during the week, as well.

Harman said he also hopes the audience will notice the handsome face of his band’s drummer, Deeep C, during the performance on Friday and take him out to a steak dinner to “fatten him up a little.”

“Deeep C is planning on busting

out the daisy dukes, weather permitting,” Harman said. “But other than that, we are just excited for the opportunity to share our music with a new audience.”

Jack Hotel will also be making its Lincoln Calling premiere, although most of the band has already played the festival with other groups.

“It will be our violin player ’s first, so we told him he has to stay awake for 48 hours beforehand and play in a leotard,” Jack Hotel’s Günter Voelker said.

Although some concerts during the week will be for a 21+ audience only, there’s no need to fear if you’re underage. The UNL University Program Council will be sponsoring free shows on Thursday and Friday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the Nebras-

Friendships fade, love every single moment together katie Nelson I’m sitting on the curb, staring.

Night is beginning to fade into morning, and my drunk is starting to become a hangover.

I lean my head back to rest on the cement wall. Music pounds on the opposite side, shaking the wall, trying to break through. Remixes, dulled by cement, settle into the waves of my brain, a precursor to the headache that will knot the same organ in a few hours. A door opens, and the music pours out, eager to escape, then floats and disappears into the night.

But, still, no one’s ever tried to hit someone for me before.

One evening before I left for Spain, a friend of a friend leaned over my table at Duffy’s and said, “Honestly, you need to get a Spanish boyfriend.”

Spanish boyfriends are a hot commodity — everyone wants one. Aside from being dangerously charming, there’s the advantage of learning Spanish with someone who thinks you’re adorable even when you’re butchering his language.

I guess there’s also the added bonus of not being alone.

I entered Spain counting down the days until I would get on the plane that would take me home and back to the family and friends who love me the most. Until then, I’m just looking for that person or people who will pass the time with me.

George lights a cigarette. I watch the small red ring inch it’s way closer to his silhouette.

Inhale then exhale. Fire then smoke.

The smoke follows the music into the atmosphere, drifting, then gone.

“What the fuck just happened?”

David says. “I turned around, and George had his hand around some guy’s neck.”

“He poured his drink on me,” I say. “I should have punched him.”

“Mauro’s stronger than I thought,” George says. “He held me back.”

“Goddamnit,” I say. “I should have hit him.”

You know, no one’s ever tried to hit someone for me before.

Granted, the fight came from a glorified discoteca food fight.

We were all drinking whatever we weren’t throwing on each other.

I wanted friends; I wanted a best friend.

At this point there were just too many layers, and I wasn’t sure if it was worth peeling them away and exposing myself for the sake of having company for four months. My first day at the university was like a child’s first day in school. Our group split and regrouped a hundred times before the end of the day, then a hundred more the day after.

Everyone was desperate to find someone — anyone — to hang out with. It wasn’t just a matter of finding friends who would hit up bars with me, because that’s easy.

Hell, I can hit the bars by myself and go home with “friends” at the end of the night.

It was finding people who will share and make the most of this experience with me. Really, it was finding a person who would put

up with my shit.

Still, my days are numbered, and I may never see these people again, not even the ones from the United States. Spain is real, but it’s actually pretend. I have to go home eventually. These people drifted in, only to drift out. I will leave, and we will stay in touch for one month, two. Six, tops. Then we won’t. Then it will just be a pile of pictures and fading memories, and these people, me included, will go on living without each other.

The theme for friendship here is love fast and easily. It’s not going to last forever; this isn’t even real. We’re just using each other as stand-ins for the ones who matter.

Still, no one has ever hit someone for me before. And at the end of the night, when I told them I loved them, I meant it. I told them about all those times I was so uncertain, and some of the happiest

times I’ve ever had have been with them. We’ve killed nights and bottles and cigarettes together before waking up together. And when I leave, there’s going to be a piece of me with each of them.

The morning after my first party here, I woke up and found my ugly and vulnerable and hungover self staring back at me in the bathroom mirror. I continue to encounter my shortcomings and insecurities, but so have they.

They put up with my shit, and I put up with theirs. At the end of the day, that’s all that really matters.

And that might be what transcends borders.

Katie Nelson is becoming a sentimental person in Spain. If you send her an email, she’ll probably cry.

Lincoln Calling: from 6

Students talk Lincoln Calling You know I work with a lot of local bands in the Lincoln music scene, and it’s really interesting to see how much more people have been to their shows in the last couple of years. It used to be that you couldn’t get people to go to shows. But in the last five to 10 years, the Lincoln music scene has grown enough people are willing to go to local show and actually show up, which is kind of nice.”

Francesca Torquati

senior english and film studies minor

As far as the music scene, I am not too interested in it, but I think it helps.

I have some friends that are in bands.

It’s basically about local bands getting together to show what they’ve got and expand on their popularity.”

I think it fosters a community.

You might know somebody in the bands, so it’s kind of nice to actually hear them play and hear some new sounds and not just the big bands. We actually do have some talent here in Lincoln. It’s nice to see what we have locally here.”

Adam Moline

sophomore, business and administration

I guess [Lincoln Calling] definitely helps local bands get their names out there. It also probably helps promote their music and get them more fans. Even if people become fans of these bands, they might also start looking into other bands that play similar music.”

“Unlike some of the other venues of Lincoln Calling, the campus shows will be open to everyone,” UPC Vice President Riley Vanek said. “For students who are new to the local music scene I would say this is a great opportunity to take in a sample of the variety and talent present in our city.”

Friday’s free student show will feature the locals, Twinsmith and Cowboy Indian Bear, the latter being based in Lawrence, Kan. “We’re super excited to be able to play this year,” Bill Sharp of Twinsmith said. “We’ve got a couple of new songs we’re going to try out as part of our new set list we’re working on for our tour at the end of the month.”

Although the band members are crossing their fingers for nice weather, Sharp said he hopes the audience will have some chill vibes and good times during the set.

We’re super excited to be able to play this year...We’re planning on having a ton of fun, so we hope everybody else is too” Bill Sharp twinsmith

“We’re planning on having a ton of fun, so we hope everybody else is too,” he said.

Lincoln Calling may have grown from a simple gathering to a five-day festival, but the motivation is still the same, said Buckley: it’s a way for local bands to be seen and heard by people that don’t usually go to their shows.

“I love watching my local favorites play for a larger-thanusual audience,” Voekler said.

“The energy is high. It’s a perfect time to discover bands that have

been playing right under your nose for a long time, in many cases for years. There is an impossible number of excellent bands on the Lincoln Calling schedule and it doesn’t come close to representing all the good music this city produces.” arts@ dailynebraskan.com

Film uses artistic license to capture audience You can still look good even if you’re broke Zach Fulciniti DN

Maria

Barmettler

College is expensive. We all know this. Tuition, books, school supplies, rent, weekend activities, it all really adds up.

Oh and there is always the occasional $100 replacement phone because you dropped your phone in the toilet last night. Or was that just me?

Regardless, college takes a whole lot of money – money that I don’t have.

For a fashion lover like myself, the question is, “How does one manage to pay for everything and still have a stylish wardrobe?” Personally, I cannot afford a $200 Michael Kors purse or a fancy and glamorous fall coat. If you’re in the same boat, I assure you we aren’t the only ones, and the good news for us is that there are ways to still look good and not spend hundreds of dollars.

Thrift World, or what I like to call my heaven on Earth, is a rocking shop in Omaha at 90th and Maple streets. If you haven’t been there, go. People may be hesitant at first because it’s all used clothing. In the beginning, I wasn’t sure how I felt about it either, but after taking the plunge, I immediately fell in love. I can go and purchase five to six things for the same price I would spend on a single shirt at a normal store.

While Lincoln doesn’t feature one, it does have plenty of Goodwills, another store that deals in second-hand gems. Both are wondrous and filled with clothes that have been abandoned and need a new owner.

Thrift stores are especially my favorite during this season. You can get so many big sweaters, shirts and even flannels to match with a pair of leggings. The key is to shop in the men’s section.

Again, you may be skeptical, but everything here is bigger, better and also comfier. I just went thrifting earlier this week and purchased three large sweaters and a cardigan – all for under $20.

Granted, sometimes it may

take a while to catch a good find.

Warning to all, there are a whole lot of ugly things to come across in thrift stores (any sweater your grandma may wear on a holiday).

But, if you dig around, you’ll surely find some keepers. The articles of clothing I get from these stores tend to get more compliments than the ones I find at Forever 21, Tilly’s or wherever it may be. Plus, thrift stores are the place to go for Halloween costumes.

You can find just about anything there. It’s kind of like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get until you look inside. Shout out to Forrest Gump for that analogy.

Another way to save money is to get things done yourself. Instead of buying a pair of ripped shorts for $50 at Urban Outfitters (my mistake), do it yourself. High wasted shorts were seen probably on 90 percent of the female population this summer, and I guarantee they will be seen this season with tights underneath and a good ol’ pair of combat boots. After wasting 50 smackers on a single pair of shorts I decided I would never let that happen again; I would see if I could just make them myself.

So I went to Thrift World, of course, and got a pair of old mom jeans and ripped them up. You can use a variety of tools to give them that torn-up, damaged look. I just went to my dad’s workshop and used sand paper and a box cutter.

I also used a steak knife from the kitchen, which Mom did not appreciate.

It is kind of addicting once you start. I started out with one pair and now have eleven. Completely unnecessary but you can never have too many jorts. Right?

As a fashion design major, I enjoy buying used clothes and turning them into something new and improved. It doesn’t take much time, and it certainly doesn’t burn a hole in my pocket. There are so many things that you can create, and if you don’t know how, there is always YouTube. Seriously though, there are numerous tutorials and tricks on how to get the look that you want.

We all may be broke college students, or at least most of us, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still have a fantastic wardrobe. arts@ dailynebraskan.com

women’s basketball conference notes

The release of “Captain Phillips” has galvanized a controversy over whether or not the man portrayed in the movie, Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks) of the MV Maersk Alabama, is everything he says he is.

Following the release of his autobiography, “A Captain’s Duty,” several crew members, including chief engineer Mike Perry, portrayed in the film by David Warshofsky, stated Phillips deliberately lied about giving himself up to the Somali pirates in order to protect the crew. They also believe Phillips’ actions, keeping the ship too close to shore and not warning the crew of the piracy danger, were partly to blame for the hijacking. Perry went so far as to say Phillips may have had a death wish.

We have no way of knowing what the pure truth is; although it’s probably safe to say there are truths and falsehoods in both accounts.

But as I will always argue in a situation like this, it doesn’t take away from the film in any way.

Captain Phillips in the movie is a character. Director Paul Greengrass and screenwriter Billy Ray have no way of knowing exactly what Phillips said or what exactly any member of the crew or any of the Somali pirates said.

It’s called artistic license and every filmmaker, every artist, invokes it.

For the sake of a better, more engaging film, Greengrass and Ray were not wrong for what they changed or added. They

Filling the lineup

The Huskers are confident in their four returning starters, but the coach said she is still trying to find the last starter for the season.

“Our four returners, it’s pretty obvious that they have kind of set themselves apart in practices, but beyond that we have a lot of question marks,” Yori said.

The four returning starters are senior Jordan Hooper, juniors Emily Cady and Hailie Sample and sophomore Rachel Theriot.

According to Yori, the freshmen will have to step up and

Already banged up

Injuries will occur in any sport, and they can affect any team at any time, but Yori knocked on wood in the Monday news conference to hope the injuries stay away from the team this season.

“I’m not superstitious about many things, but there are certain things that I am superstitious about,” Yori said.

The Huskers have already suffered a few injuries during the two weeks of practice, according to Yori.

“We’ve had a couple broken noses, thanks to (freshman) Allie Havers,” Yori said. “She’s put two of our players in surgery since she arrived on campus. She’s got sharp elbows.”

The coach said the team has a couple of players with nagging injuries, including Theriot. The 6-foot guard had foot surgery in the off-season and is still not 100 percent, according to Yori “She is a lot better than she was last year,” Yori said. “She played through a lot of pain last year.”

Now viewers are lost thanks to the old man’s detour. They aren’t lost in darkness for long though, because the old man takes no time to brighten viewers’ day as he spins around the bar, like a pinwheel, an astounding five full rotations.

show they can compete so she can figure out who will take the different roles on the team.

The void Lindsey Moore left at the point guard position will be taken over by Theriot, Yori said.

“She will be the primary one for point guard for us,” Yori said.

“You can’t just rely on one kid, so we are going to have to find a viable back-up.”

STARRING

Jake Bugg (self-titled) Jake Bugg is 19 years old, but you’d never know it listening to his debut record (released in 2012 in the U.K., but not until this year in the U.S.). He sounds more like a world-weary, aging rock legend. In any case, the Brit-rocker’s weathered sound plays like a Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan greatest hits mash-up. Whatever this kid’s got, many much older musicians could use it.

Sophomore guard Rachel Theriot is the youngest of the Huskers’ four returning starters this season.

The Nebraska women’s basketball squad will host the Big Red Tip-Off on Tuesday. The early start to the season forced the team to start practicing two weeks ago.

Nebraska coach Connie Yori said this was the soonest she has ever begun practicing in all of her years coaching.

“That’s just the way the calendar fell this year,” Yori said.

The tip-off event is not a scrimmage, but just a normal practice where fans can see the team. There will be activities the fans can participate in, according to the coach.

“We’re just treating it like a practice,” Yori said. “We’re fortunate that we have two exhibition games this year in the arena prior to having a regular season game.”

Yori also said this is an event the team can use to adjust to the new arena.

“This is a good opportunity, tomorrow night, to be in front of some fans,” Yori said, “and just be in the arena.”

“Waiting for the Dawn” by The Mowgli’s The Mowgli’s (yes that’s where they put the apostrophe) bursted onto the radar earlier this year with its jovial hit “San Francisco” — a track about love equality. The group’s unique sound is achieved by itssize. The band boasts an eight-member lineup, all contributing vocals. This sonic diversity and the group’s songwriting contribute to the strength of the debut album. The Mowgli’s are this year’s most surprisingly rewarding breath of fresh air.

“When it Was Now” by Atlas Genius The Aussie alt-rockers picked up a decent following this year touring with their debut album, “When it Was Now,” in support of Imagine Dragons. Unlike the other four bands on this list, Atlas Genius uses a fairly significant amount of electronic elements. But again unlike most artists, they don’t use electronic music as a crutch. The album’s well-balanced rock tracks like “Trojans” and “Through the Glass” stand memorably apart from the vast majority of modern electronically aided rock.

4.

The Wild Feathers (self-titled) The band’s Twitter describes it as being “like if Led Zeppelin and The Band had a baby in Joshua Tree that grew up listening to Ryan Adams covering the Stones 70’s (sic) country influenced songs.”

I’m not going to try to capture the blend of genres any better than that, except to say the self-titled debut is an impressively versatile and nostalgic blend. Look for the band at The Bourbon Theatre on Oct. 29, with NEEDTOBREATHE.

5.

Yellow Red Sparks (self-titled) It’s been a good couple of years for alt-folk, and Yellow Red Sparks’ self-titled debut is a gorgeous entry into the revival. The trio manages to avoid the trapping of sounding generic amidst the genre’s revival thanks largely to their earnest songwriting. The standout track, “To Love and Loathe,” explores the good and bad of love with equal weight and gut-wrenching power.

“We knew they were going to bring pressure,” Kugler said after his team’s loss. “We’ve been watching the film, and that’s what they’ve been doing. And they’re good at it.

The back seven allowed Etling to complete just 14 of his 35 pass attempts (40 percent) for 184 yards.

The success on the line by the front four was no surprise to Pelini, either.

“I thought going in we would,” he said. “We’ve been pretty good all year rushing four. We’ve been able to rush the passer and not get crushed like we have in the past with quarterback scrambles.”

The Blackshirts were able to shut out Purdue through the game’s first 59 minutes, until Etling launched a 55-yard touchdown to DeAngelo Yancey to put their team on the board. The touchdown ended the Huskers’ streak of 96 consecutive passes without a touchdown pass.

With men’s basketball practice in full swing, the Huskers, who have eight new players, are beginning the process of gelling different styles of play into coach Tim Miles’ brand of basketball. So far, according to Miles, there’s not much to tell yet of how well that’s going.

“It’s just like anything else early,” Miles said in a news conference Monday. “We get two hours (a night). It’s not enough time to really tell what you’ve got.”

Miles did say, though, that this group of players is taking its work ethic to a new level, and the atmosphere of the team is better than last year’s.

“They are a really hard-working bunch,” Miles said. “We lifted in the fall at 6:15 a.m., and we had guys there at 5:40 before lifting shooting.

And that wasn’t just an occasional thing. It was a regular deal. You just can’t say enough about their work ethic. A really competitive group.”

Leaders have emerged from the team already this season. The team voted senior Ray Gallegos, sophomore Shavon Sheilds and junior Terran Petteway, a transfer from Texas Tech, as captains of the team.

Though Petteway has yet to play for the Huskers, he is someone the team already looks up to, Miles said.

“There is no doubt in my mind Terran Petteway is our hardest worker,” Miles said. “We have to talk him out of the gym. There’s no doubt that he is our most relentless competitor. We have to talk him down, at times, he’s so hyper-competitive. And I think guys follow that, they respect that.”

Junior forward Terran Petteway, a transfer from Texas Tech, plays in the team’s scrimmage.

Injuries are already taking a toll on the men’s team. Miles announced Monday that freshman Tim Wagner will be out for the season with an ankle injury he sustained early in practice. Wagner, a 6-foot-3-inch, 188-pound guard, dislocated his ankle and had X-rays done on Monday.

Freshman guard Tai Webster also went down with an ankle injury that has sidelined him for the past four practices. Webster is currently battling for the starting point guard spot with junior transfer Deverell Biggs, and is expected to make a full recovery.

Beside injuries though, Miles is still looking to solidify his lineup, which will be deeper than last year’s.

“We do have guys that can play multiple positions,” Miles said. “The

key is to get them to play one position well. And if we can play five that can play well all at one time, they’re going to be on the floor a lot.”

Miles said offensively the Huskers want to play a fun, aggressive and attacking style offense in their usual motion set with lots of drives and kicks. He referred to motion as “not an offense, but a way of life.”

But with Nebraska’s depth and versatility, they can fluctuate their offense to their needs.

“Just like anything else you have to have a multi-dimensional team,” Miles said.

Miles said Webster and Biggs will be catalysts in driving the motion. Biggs has had some excellent practices as of late, Miles said, but when he has bad ones, they’re cata-

strophic, something Miles wants to eliminate.

“He set a record the other day: worst turnover ever,” Miles said.

“But he can make plays. He’s a home run hitter. And that’s what we have to continue to get him on the right path.

Home run guys also strike out a lot.”

Managing expectations

For Miles, being a coach at the beginning of the year is like being a paranoid parent. When you turn your 15-year-old daughter out to her first dance, how would you feel?

That’s how Miles feels.

“We should have expectations,” Miles said. “That’s something we want. If we don’t have a program that builds expectations and has

people saying, ‘what the heck’s going on?’ sometimes, we’re not doing it right.”

Miles’ expectations for the seasons are high, but manageable. In his five stops as head coach, year two is always the toughest.

“It always feels like we’re way better than we were year one, and we rarely perform like that,” Miles said.

But there is one expectation that Miles has, that will never change.

“We want to go to the NCAA Tournament and win when we get there, every year,” Miles said. “Even if we have a team with no chance of doing that, that’s what I’m going to tell you. That’s the goal every year.”

1. Ohio State (6-0 Overall, 2-0 Big Ten)

With 15 kills, one solo block and nine block assists in games against Michigan and Michigan State, sophomore middle blocker Meghan Haggerty has been starting to stand out on the Nebraska volleyball team.

Nebraska coach John Cook said Haggerty has been impressing him with her play the past few weeks.

“As a blocker, she’s gotten better in our stat evaluation system,” Cook said. “She’s been grading out really well. She’s up at the top of the leaderboard in attack efficiency.”

Cook also said the team needs to pass her the ball more.

“We just got to get her the ball more, and we struggled this weekend with passing,” Cook said.

“When you’ve got two freshmen out there passing, with [Kelsey] Robinson, who they don’t serve, that’s going to be an area that’s going to be tough.”

Haggerty took the game into her hands in the fifth set against Michigan and played a vital role in Nebraska’s 25-13, 28-26, 10-25, 2025, 15-8 win, Cook said.

Improvement on the block

With 29.5 combined blocks against Michigan and Michigan State, the team is making progress in the blocking game, according to Cook.

“We’re taking baby steps every week,” Cook said.

Against Michigan, freshman outside hitter Kadie Rolfzen recorded two solo blocks, while Haggerty and senior outside hitter Kelsey Robinson tallied a solo block each.

Junior setter Mary Pollmiller led the stats with nine block assists. The Huskers totaled 18 blocks in the match.

Senior right-side hitter Morgan Broekhuis, sophomore middle blocker Cecilia Hall and Robinson all notched one solo block against the Spartans, and Hall and Haggerty both recorded four block assists in the match. The Huskers came away with 11.5 blocks.

“I think we are making strides in that area,” Cook said. “Blocking is such a hard skill, especially with young players, trying to get them to understand.”

Last season, the Huskers managed six blocks against the Wolverines and nine against the Spartans.

Cook said he looked at the stats from this road trip from last season to gauge how much the team has improved in the blocking category.

On the road

The Husker squad has played five matches on the road in the past month, and the effects of that are starting to show on the team, according to Cook.

“Until somebody told me Saturday night, I didn’t even realize we’ve even been on the road three out of the last four weekends,” Cook said. “That’s one of the reasons why I gave them the day off today. We started looking like we are getting fatigued.”

In the past four weeks, the Huskers have matched up against six ranked teams, and the only unranked team was Northwestern.

The Huskers have gone 5-2 since playing at No. 6 Texas.

The most recent road trip pitted the Huskers against two ranked teams on back-to-back nights. The team had to travel after the five-set match from Ann Arbor, Mich., to East Lansing, Mich.

“Those are tough road trips,” Cook said. “They take a lot out of you.”

sports briefs Nebraska football schedules Oregon

Nebraska announced Monday that it scheduled a homeand-home series with Oregon. The Ducks are scheduled to visit Memorial Stadium in 2016, and the Huskers will travel to Eugene, Ore., in 2017.

The series replaces a previously scheduled home-andhome with Tennessee. The Huskers will instead play the Volunteers, against whom they hold a 2-0 record, in 2026 and 2027.

“This is a win-win scenario,” Nebraska athletic director Shawn Eichorst said. “The University of Tennessee asked for scheduling relief, and we were able to add the University of Oregon, a perennial top-25 program, to our nonconference schedule as we roll into the College Football Playoff era. This should be a great series, not only for our football programs, but for the tremendous fans of both schools.”

Nebraska and Oregon have not played since the Huskers beat the Ducks in Lincoln in 1985 and 1986. Nebraska is 5-1 against Oregon.

The Huskers also rescheduled their 2016 game against Wyoming, which was originally slated for Sept. 17, 2016.

The Cowboys will visit Lincoln on Sept. 10, making room for Oregon to play Nebraska on Sept. 17.

Husker senior claims conference award

Nebraska forward Jordan Jackson was named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week on Monday.

In the No. 17 Huskers’ only game of the weekend, a 4-0 shutout victory at Purdue on Friday, Jackson scored a goal and assisted on Nebraska’s other three scores.

Jackson earned five points in the performance – the fifth time in her career that she has accumulated five points in a game. Her goal was the 31st of her Nebraska career, good for eighth place alone on the school’s all-time goal scoring list.

The award is Jackson’s first weekly honor since claiming Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week in 2010, her sophomore year.

NU baseball plays fall series

The Nebraska baseball team begins its three-game RedWhite Series at 3:20 p.m. Tuesday at Hawks Field. The Huskers will follow with scrimmages on Wednesday at 3 p.m. and Thursday at 6:30 p.m.

Nebraska’s regular-season schedule was released Monday.

The Huskers will play 56 games, including 27 home games, in a campaign that begins with a game against Pacific on Feb. 14 in Tempe, Ariz.

The Huskers will begin their home schedule with a 10-game home stand that ends with one of two games against in-state rival Creighton. Nebraska does not play last year’s Big Ten champion, Indiana, but plays two games against 2013 College World Series qualifier Oregon State.

Shannon Guy looks to have solid season after career-best meet at 2013 Big Ten Championships Natasha Rausch DN “Non! Non! Non!” Shannon Guy’s teammates yell.

Everyone on the Nebraska swimming and diving team gets a nickname. For senior Shannon Guy, it just happens to be “Non.” “Nobody else in the world calls me ‘Non,’” Guy said. “But my teammates do.”

Guy didn’t get her nickname until she joined the team four years ago after choosing to come to Nebraska. The four other school-recruiting visits she went on just didn’t have the right “feel.”

“I came here for the team,” Guy said. “When you go on recruiting trips, they’re kind of really awkward. This was my last visit, so it was my last trip and it was just natural. It felt comfortable and I got along with the girls well. It wasn’t forced.”

Guy was able to go on five college visits because she had been swimming since she was 9 years old. Before moving back to Nebraska, Guy grew up in Arizona, and her parents couldn’t seem to get her out of the baby pool in the backyard.

In her high school career at Millard West in Omaha, she was able to land four state championships in the 100-yard butterfly, and she took three state titles in the 100-yard breaststroke.

For Guy, her high school career and swimming coach are what

inspired her to continue at the collegiate level.

“My role model would be my high school coach,” said Guy, who did gymnastics up until she began her swimming career. “He was like a father to me. He was always pushing me and making me a better person.

He was always there for me. He has even come to see me swim during summer meets. I’m trying to get him to come to my senior meet though.”

Guy’s high school career and her love for the team aspect at Nebraska is what drew her to become a Husker in the first place, and it will be one of the things she will miss the most after her last season this year.

“I’m attached to these girls,” said Guy, who helped the 200yard medley relay take first place against Iowa State on Saturday. “When we go home for breaks, we definitely miss each other.”

Guy’s career on the Husker team got off to a tough start when she discovered she had tendonitis in both shoulders.

“I’ve had tendonitis in my shoulder for the past three years,” Guy said. “That really affected me when I was an underclassman. My freshmen year I basically kicked for half a season and swam meets. I’ve finally gained full strength back in both of my shoulders so I’m allowed to do basically everything now.”

According to Guy, the injury has hindered a lot of her training throughout the past three years, yet she still managed to get career-best times at the 2013 Big Ten Championships in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 23.17 and in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 53.23.

“The last Big Ten Championship was my highlight moment in the past 13 years I’ve
