Hi friends,

Something special is happening this week. And I hope you’ve all been paying attention. The Kansas City Royals are making their second appearance in the MLB’s World Series in two years. After a nearly 30-year dry spell, the boys in blue are back up there with the best players in the league. Now what is a person like me, so invested in this team, doing this game? I’m a retired volleyball player. I’m a journalism major who reads through newspapers and Victorian literature for fun. I’m a self-proclaimed fair weather fan for 98 percent of outdoor sports, but I would do anything to be back in my hometown at Kauffman Stadium watching these guys compete. It comes down to one simple thing: the Royals have chemistry. The Royals sucked so badly for as long as I can remember. As a native Kansas Citian, I always grew up expecting them to lose. The Royals are playing, you say? Don’t get your hopes up. But these guys stuck through it. These guys grew up together; they’ve all been with the Royals since 2011, before they were good. Manager Ned Yost saw potential in a few guys who would turn out to become some of this team’s core players – Alex Gordon, Salvador Perez, Lorenzo Cain, Mike Moustakas, to name a few -– and recruited them to be

a part of a program he knew he would have to build. And after nearly five years of sticking together through the Royals’ ridicule from all of Major League Baseball, they’re some of the best players the Royals have ever had. They’re exactly what people want in a group of guys. They’re real, likeable people who work hard and have a great sense of humor. From Salvy’s ritual of soaking each game’s MVP with gallons of lemon-lime Gatorade to Lo Cain’s obsession with Fetty Wap’s “Trap Queen,” and incorporating the number 1738 into all of his interviews, these guys aren’t too difficult to be charmed by. The Royals had a fairytale season last year: they shocked a nation that was so used to them losing and proved how hard they had worked. They made it to that magical seventh game of the World Series, and hearts were broken when the bad guys – the San Francisco Giants – won. That’s not how the story was supposed to end, and this team knows it. So I hope you readers will carve out some time for America’s team this weekend. Get your half-priced Halloween candy, claim a comfy spot on the couch and watch these guys put an end to their unfinished business.

Christian yoga studio offers alternative practice Studio 4:8 uses same traditional yoga techniques, while incorporating Christian values.

›

ANNIE ALBIN DN

Studio 4:8 is quiet and relaxed despite it being a busy Friday afternoon. Outside, the cars on 48th Street are backed up and noisy, but inside it’s the opposite. Shoes are lined up by the door and relaxing music plays. Photos and fliers cover a wall, behind this is an open space where yoga classes are taught. It seems like a regular yoga studio, but there’s something different. There’s no Buddha statue and instead, T-shirts mentioning God are in the front hallway. The biggest difference between Studio 4:8 and other yoga studios isn’t that, though. It’s the way yoga is taught. There, all classes are lead by Bonnie Jensen Meyer, who teaches yoga centered on her Christian beliefs. The basics of the teachings of yoga are there, but Meyer has taken steps to make the practice more welcoming for those who are worried about yoga’s close ties with Hinduism drawing them away from their own religions. Studio 4:8 does not use Sanskrit, or listen to music in Sanskrit during sessions. There is no chanting, and there are no statues of Buddha in the studio. Instead, instructors may open their lessons with readings from the Bible or with some inspiration they got from their day. Meyer prefers to play Jack Johnson or Switchfoot, making sure to keep it instrumental and inspirational. “There’s lots of different people,” Meyer said. “I need to respect their uncertainties and misconceptions of yoga.” The main difference between Studio 4:8’s practice and traditional Eastern yoga is their outlook on meditation. The basics of yoga are still present: they emphasize breath and work on posture and flexibility. But instead of using breath as a way to channel enlightenment, Meyer teaches her students how to channel the Holy Spirit instead. “The Church has done a very good job of preaching to people, but we are not taught to be still, we are not taught to listen,” Meyer said. “We’re not taught to come before God with a quiet mind … that’s what this practice teaches you to do.” At first, Meyer said she didn’t believe all that yoga taught. She taught boot camps and kickboxing for 20 years, while also taking yoga classes purely for the physical benefits. When her instructors would prepare the class for meditation and relaxation, Meyer would roll up her mat and leave. She didn’t have the time for

meditation, nor did she want to participate. Meyer has been practicing yoga for 15 years and now has been teaching it for eight. Two years ago, Meyer went through a difficult time in her life. She lost one of her best friends and her mother within the course of a month. Meyer grew away from her Christianity, and in that time, tried to find enlightenment through yoga. Then one day during a meditation she realized she wanted God back in her life. Because she wanted to include touches of Christianity into her practice, Meyer knew she would need to open her own studio. A year and a half ago, she did just that. Located at 4203 S. 48th Street, the studio is named after the Bible verse found in Philippians 4:8. The verse says, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent

or praiseworthy – think about such things.” Studio 4:8 started out with only three classes per week but has now has 15. Meyer also has seven instructors who teach the classes. All the instructors at the studio reached out to Meyer to become involved. “We kind of consider ourselves the Island of Misfit Toys,” Meyer said. Instructor Kris Costello has been practicing yoga for years, she practiced it more at home, as many of the classes she attended didn’t resonate with her beliefs. “I chose to teach at 4:8 because its mission resonated with my Christian beliefs, and it allows me to teach in the same way I practice, with the Gospel message in the music and class focus,” Costello said. Meyer doesn’t consider Studio 4:8 to just be a Christian yoga studio. Anyone can participate in classes at 4:8, whether he or she believes in

God or not. Meyer said she isn’t trying to convert anyone with her practices. Instead she is trying to make yoga more attainable for people. Once a week she teaches classes to women at the People’s City Mission. She also lets anyone who is a resident at the shelter take classes for free. She wants to create a ministry team so she can keep her community at the studio while also reaching other populations. She teaches classes at Harbor Coffeehouse once a week, as well as a class for people in Region V, which helps those with developmental disabilities. She went to Skid Row to learn more about outreach and learn how to reach more people. According to Meyer, she gets more out of the people she helps than they get from her.

UNL alumnus hosts theater worskshop on death penalty ANNIE HIMES DN Mike Lee is back in Lincoln for October, and he is using his four short weeks in the capitol city to facilitate a night of collaborative theatre and community activism focused on alternatives to the death penalty. The event, Living Newspaper: Alternatives to the Death Penalty: “Don’t say what you think; come and show it to us,” will occur Oct. 30 at 6 p.m. at the Antler’s Club. Lee, a South Dakota native, graduated from UNL with a degree in Performance in December 2012. While at the university, he worked with Professor Frances “Fran” Kaye. Specializing in Great Plains studies, Native American studies and Canadian studies, Kaye helped Lee connect his passion for theatre with community activism. It was Kaye who encouraged Lee to become involved with a group of men at the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution who wanted to perform a play. For nine months, Lee worked with these men once or twice a month on putting together a theatre piece. His experience sparked his passion for social activism through theatre. “I got to meet guys who were formerly on death row,” Lee said. “I never got to meet anyone who was on death row because death row inmates are not allowed to partake in clubs like that, but I met a couple of guys who had been taken off of death row, and I met some guys who were serving life sentences without parole. So I got to explore that difference, and I got to do theatre with them.” Lee recently completed his M.F.A. in acting at the University of Houston. Before he moves to New York City next January, he’s making a stop in Lincoln. Upon returning, Lee immediately reconnected with Kaye. She suggested that during his time in Nebraska, he use his talents to organize a workshop because of the political climate surrounding the death penalty in the state. Lee began planning the workshop on Oct. 1. In the process, he has collaborated with the local non-profit Nebraskans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, the organization’s President Stephen Griffith and intern Grace Solem-Pfeifer, and has received advice and information from professors and activists in both Lincoln and Omaha.

On Friday, anyone and everyone can join Lee to start a dialogue about the death penalty. The event will take place in parts, evolving over the course of three hours. The first part of the night is devoted to discussion and collaboration based in the ideas of Brazilian theatre technician Augusto Boal. “Boal came up with this whole system called ‘Theatre of the Oppressed,’” Lee said. “‘Theatre of the Oppressed’ aims to turn spectators into spect-actors, in Boal’s words. What that means is that we are not interested in talking down to people; we’re not interested in giving a presentation to people; we’re interested in letting people be a part of the presentation.” Boal’s ideas find their base in Brazilian philosopher and educator Paolo Freire. Freire analyzed pedagogy, the method and practice of teaching as a theoretical concept. “Freire describes traditional pedagogy – Western pedagogy typically – as if you imagine

the teacher, the holder of knowledge and a torch bringer, coming into a classroom and taking the top off of your cranium and pouring knowledge into your head,” Lee said. “His answer to that is all learners and teachers should be on the same level, and everybody’s viewpoints should be heard, appreciated and ingrained into the curriculum.” It is this philosophy that Boal then applied to the Western theatre and that Lee will facilitate Friday. “Boal took Freire’s ideas and looked at the Western theatre,” Lee said. “You are probably familiar with sitting in silence for three hours in the car and watching someone else who is in a beautiful costume under beautiful lighting live out their lives, and you don’t really have a lot to do with it. Boal believed that the audience should have a vital role in the telling of the story and the unfolding of the story.” So this Friday there will be no script. There

will be no production at all until it is created by the spect-actors through discussion and dialogue dismantling, in Lee’s words, “the current system of oppression – the death penalty.” For two hours, the spect-actors will work together based in the ideas of Boal, giving non-actors the tools to become actors. In the third hour, the group will create a “living newspaper” and then take it to the streets. “‘Living newspaper’ originally was a concept used in the 1930s,” Lee said. “It was a part of the New Deal that included bringing arts to people. There was a big problem of illiteracy, people were not only not reading the newspaper, but they couldn’t. [Actors] took to the streets and would act out, simply read or dramatize the events of the news, so people could know what was going on.” Lee has combined the tradition of the “living newspaper” with Boal’s philosophies to create an innovative, collaborative and creative experience. “We’ll take headlines, sound bites, anything we can find in the media that people are saying: the current state of the conversation on the death penalty,” said Lee. “We’ll put it into scenes, images and sound bites that we can take out into the public. We’ll let people interact with us, finding ways to solve the problem. We’ll look for alternatives to the death penalty. It’s a very active, in-the-moment thing.” Within the three-hour event, Lee hopes the spect-actors will experience satisfaction in expressing their political consciousness and being politically active. “The importance of this event is getting a lot of people from the community in one room with all different perspectives and finding common ground,” Lee said. “Exploring common beliefs and uncommon beliefs. Exploring the current conversation. Having the conversation.” Lee said all are welcome to join – even those who might support the death penalty in Nebraska. “We’re interested in starting a dialogue,” Lee said, “And the best way to do that is to have more than one viewpoint, so if somebody does support the death penalty, they are more than welcome to join us. Perhaps they will see a viewpoint they haven’t considered before. Perhaps we will. That is the aim of this kind of work.” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Students create horror movies for film festival MILES ROTHLISBERGER DN Oct. 28, a fateful three days before the ghoulish holiday of Halloween, Cinema 16 hosted a night for film students to start the chills, the thrills and the sillies a bit early with their own creations. Hosted at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center, the Halloween Film Festival featured films of all kinds, ranging from the frightening and unsettling to the comical and mocking. Un-

like other festivals, this one is very flexible and only requires that every submission by each team of students was at most six minutes, and interpreted Halloween somehow. “It’s everyone’s take on Halloween,” said Alexis Borchardt, Cinema 16 president and senior film and new media major. “You have a lot more leeway with the genre, so you get to see their creative process and what they’re passionate about.” This has led to different ideas surrounding

the eight films showing. Some students, such as sophomore film and new media major Warren Bable, have made their own short horror films. Bable helped create “The Joker,” a movie about a girlfriend arriving home to find her boyfriend nowhere in sight. “Let’s call it a ‘date-night movie gone wrong,’” Bable said. While a horror movie may seem like a traditional approach for Halloween, the opportunity to make one for the festival still offers a good

experience for filmmakers, according to Cinema 16 vice-president and sophomore film and new media major Ben Hartzell. “Filmmakers really respect the ability to make people unsettled, and that’s what they try to do,” Hartzell said. “And so they use visual aspects – such as lighting – to scare, which is a fun exercise.” However, not everyone made a horror film

UNL to host national slam poetry tournament GABRIELLA PARSONS DN

JOYSTICKS

An annual slam poetry tournament will be in the Nebraska Union auditorium next week. In partnership with University of Nebraska-Lincoln Slam Poetry Club and the Nebraska Writers Collective, the Great Plains Poetry Pile-up will be Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 6 at 5 p.m. Tournament organizer Reagan Myers said slam poetry involves a lot of traveling, and poets from around the country will be in Lincoln for the tournament. Students, professional slam poets and performance artists from Denver, Chicago, Salt Lake City and several others, will be participating in the Great Plains Poetry Pile-up. Myers, who is also a slam poet, has traveled for other slam poetry tournaments in the past with the Slam Poetry Club. She said a big incentive for poets is the tournament prize, a $500 reward. But Myers said the incentive goes beyond just the money. “It’s also a chance to get some extra practice in and showcase your work, which is im-

portant for slam poets,” she said. Local performance artist Lindsey Hand is returning to the poetry pile-up for the second year, but her experience with performance poetry began nearly 10 years ago. Hand said slam poetry is a vehicle for performance art, and she always tries to do new things with poetry. Hand is the managing director of Red Theatre Lincoln, where she said she makes “some aggressively expressive art” with friends. She’s recently used slam poetry performances to support local community advocacy groups, including Voices of Hope and Common Root. “I continue to use spoken word to educate and empower groups of disenfranchised individuals, through opportunities for advocacy within the community,” Hand said. The Great Plains Poetry Pile-up will begin Thursday evening with 10 poets who will compete in the preliminary bout, or round Another 10 poets will compete in the second preliminary round Friday. The top eight finalists from both of the preliminary rounds will move on to the final

competition Friday night. The elimination format will be a standard 8-5-3 process, and the final three poets will receive recognition. The poets will be performing original poems that will be judged on a scale of zero to 10 by random members of the audience. As the tournament organizer, Myers will select audience members who do not know any of the performers. The public is encouraged to attend the tournament and enjoy the performances. Hand said slam poetry is a great way to connect people, and anyone can benefit from attending the event. “It influences self-reflection and improvement in live action for strangers and friends,” Hand said. “I don’t have time for a conversation – here’s a poem. Let’s all learn something from and about everyone. I see it as a means to improve myself and my community,” she said. Myers said the people who show up to watch the tournament always surprise her. “It’s people you’d never expect – but all of these people are interested in what’s going on in the world,” she said. Hand said slam poetry is an important

way of expressing her thoughts and feelings, and audience members can also gain something from hearing other people’s stories. “Slam poetry is important to an audience because in a time when the sciences and obedience are being pushed, here is an opportunity to tell individuals their unique thoughts and existence matter are worth expressing,” she said. Popular slam poet and artist Anis Mojgani will perform Friday before the final rounds start. Myers said Mojgani was an inspiration to her when she first started getting into slam poetry and said she’s excited for him to be featured in the event. Myers encourages people to come to the eventZ, even if they know nothing about slam poetry. “It’s one of those things you’re going to love, but won’t know it until you see it,” Myers said.

Embracing the uncertainty of changing majors Being undecided freshman year can lead to more opportunities to learn about yourself. NICK NIENDORF DN College is chock-full of uncertainty and stress. Between grades and social life, it’s hard to find a rock to stand on among the turbulent and troubled seas that surround us. One such rock is your major, that thing you see next to your name on every document and resume you’ve made since you started college. It’s not only what you want to study for the next four years, but it’s also what you see yourself doing for the next halfa-century. Your major is special. It’s personal. It’s something you love, something that you’re (hopefully) good at and something that excites you to no end. Even among the midterms, late night assignments and dragging lectures, it’s what you can talk for hours

more about. Your major is who you are. I have absolutely no idea what I want to major in. A month and a half ago, I was fantasizing about programming for big name companies such as Google and Microsoft. About a month ago, I realized that not only was computer science something I didn’t want to find a career in, it was something I wanted nothing to do with. It was a revelation that, admittedly, was pretty disheartening. Computer science is one of the best fields you can get into. The employment rate, starting pay and career track are among the most appealing of careers. And it felt like I was just throwing it all away. I mentioned I wanted to make a switch to my mom over text and eventually a phone call. I did my best to keep up a positive facade, but parents will always know. About a week later I got a call from my dad while I was struggling to do some calculus homework in Love Library. After scampering away from my desk to a stairwell where I could talk without disturbing anyone, Papa Niendorf bestowed on me some words of wisdom. As long as I’ve known my dad (coming

Hernandez Frantz, Von Loh Attorneys at Law

up on 19 years now folks), he has always been the most confident, sure-of-himself guy ever. Not a year goes by where I don’t learn a new fact about my dad’s life, and my admiration for him knows no bounds. So it came as a bit of a surprise to hear him tell me the tale of his uncertain college experience. Out alone in Western Kentucky, he was enrolled in the school’s pre-med program with hopes of becoming a dentist. The idea of your dad being a dentist when he’s not actually one is pretty hard to picture. My dad has always been a painter and a lover of history but never someone who digs around people’s mouths with stainless steel equipment. But lo and behold, 17-year-old freshman Jerry Niendorf was on the dental track. He went on to talk about when he eventually realized dentistry wasn’t for him and eventually he switched to history, his true passion. It was a comfort knowing that the man that I’ve looked up to and idolized my entire life went through the exact same thing that I did. If he could survive the tumultuous change in collegiate paths, why couldn’t I? Our conversation made me understand that not knowing exactly what you want to

do is okay. “You’re an 18 year old kid, Nick,” my dad told me. “You’re not supposed to know what you’re going to do for the rest of your life.” I no longer get that feeling of dread when I go onto MyRED and see Computer Science next to my name, knowing it’s a fading lie. When people ask me what my major is, I just give them a simple shrug and a smile. Whether you’re undeclared or just uncertain about your path, know you’re not alone. You have the opportunity to study something you’re truly interested in and have a fiery passion for. Don’t just settle on something else because it’ll earn you money or because you vaguely know about it. Take your chance to explore the hundreds of classes in that long course catalog that you looked at that one time in July. Don’t shy away from the unknown. I’ve embrace the uncertainty, and I’ve learned to love the opportunities and options that come with the cloak of unpredictability. I have absolutely no idea what I want to major in. And I couldn’t be more excited about it. ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

STUDIO: FROM 4 Meyer said she is inspired in her faith from the homeless community. “You’re homeless; you don’t have a roof over your head … and they’re able to look at you and say ‘God is good.’” Meyer said, “It’s bare bones; it’s raw; there’s no fluff at all.” Not only does Meyer want to keep yoga attainable for those who wouldn’t have the opportunity to practice it, she also wants to keep it attainable in price. The studio offers unlimited membership for $26 a month, which will be raised in November to $36 to match costs for paying instructors as well as maintaining the studio in the winter months. Meyer hopes people can feel comfortable in her studio and do not feel intimidated by the media’s expectations of yoga. For Meyer, someone practicing yoga shouldn’t be the stereotypical “size two” model on Instagram posing with

a big smile on her face. “Yoga is … it’s you. Your breath, your mat and opening your body to movement and that flow of breath,” Meyer said. Meyer is focusing on the good. Her studio has grown in only a year and a half and she sees more opportunities in the future for outreach. When it comes to her outlook on life, it can be simply found in the Bible verse she named the studio after. “We’re focusing on the good. We’re focusing on the noble. We’re focusing on the pure. We’re focusing on love. God is that love; God is that light; God is that noble. He’s that everything right there.” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

CINEMA: FROM 5 for the festival. One movie, “A Pumpkin Spice Halloween,” is a comedy, with Borchardt saying “it’s like ‘The Office,’ but one of the guys has a pumpkin for a head.” Even a music video was made for the festival. Named after the Adam Lambert song “Ghost Town,” which is incorporated, the video is very aesthetic and focuses on dark black-and-white visuals. It tells the story of characters and how they feel after joining a big costume party, with one character feeling confident and energized with the crowd and another feeling miserable and lonely. Junior film and new media major Kenna Smith, the maker of “Ghost

Town,” used the concept of Halloween to tackle a unique theme. “At times, when you’re feeling stressed, sometimes you have those times when you feel disconnected,” Smith said. “It’s stuff that I’ve felt at times. So, I played around with it.” In the end, the Halloween Film Festival gave students the chance to showcase whatever they made and feel proud of. “It’s always so amazing to see your work on the big screen,” Bable said.

GOP candidates don’t practice what they preach

s this season’s debates have consumed the spotlight, the 2016 Presidential race has become a reality television show. Donald Trump is as politically incorrect as a member of “Duck Dynasty.” Hillary Clinton is dealing with almost as much scandal as “19 Kids and Counting.” Candidates are receiving celebrity endorsements while fighting each other in an attempt to sway voters in normally irrelevant states. As each day builds to the next episode’s drama, an uncovered, overlooked element from the first Republican debate is showing the hypocrisy of the whole party. God was said 19 times in the GOP debate Aug. 6. Economy was uttered 10 times. Climate change was never spoken. These ideas are often intertwined, but the GOP has made them separate issues. The problem is the candidates’ religious backgrounds influence their policies. Political solutions can come from religious ideas. Ben Carson supports a flat tax while quoting the Bible . Carson, Jon Kasich, Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, Scott Walker and Marco Rubio cited the importance of their relationships with God when seeking guidance and support in weighing the thought of running for President. It isn’t only politicians who use religion to influence global policy. The debate was held six weeks before Pope Francis’ historic trip to the United States. On his visit, he spoke on the importance of combating climate change, saying, “We are not God. The Earth was here before us, and it has been given to us.” The head of the Catholic Church is linking climate change to religion while many Republicans find it convenient to ignore the environment. Pope Francis isn’t the only religious leader demanding change on treating our environment. Baptists, Methodists and Evangelicals, along with other Christian leaders, have prepared a declaration of action on climate change. Buddhists have said “The time to act is now.” Islam has said our Earth is Allah’s gift and should be treated as such. Along with being a great religious, moral and social issue of our time, it gauges the development of our species. Humans went from wondering where our oceans ended to creating technology that indirectly causes them to flood. We have also transitioned from a lack of understanding of damages to scientific evidence of the harm. It’s no longer acceptable to whisper “job growth” while leaving our climate without a rose like some sick “The Bachelor” ending. The Presidential candidates who are the stars of these shows have the right to openly practice and express their beliefs, which makes the U.S. great. Not being consistent within those beliefs is the problem. Hypoc-

risy reflects poorly on character. Telling the country its administration will be run God’s way should be consistent with the religious leaders who define God’s way. The Republican Party is traditionally against any regulation. Adding regulation to business in attempt to protect the Earth has had resistance at all levels from Republicans. The lack of support stems from the possible economical limitations that might arise. The economy is important, but so is the environment. There are only a few reasons for the candidates’ hypocrisy. They could be overemphasizing their faith to gain stronger support from extreme conservatives. That being the case, those slimy politicians should have been voted off last episode. Candidates also could be picking what religious beliefs they would like to follow, which isn’t an option in most religions.

Republicans could also value the economy much higher than the Earth. Climate change solutions factor in economic policy. If this call to action being demanded by religious leaders was implemented, it would affect little in day to day life. Tax breaks and increases would be implemented to take into account climate change. Renewable energy would be built stronger. The Keystone XL pipeline wouldn’t be built. Consumers would pay more when using energy made from fossil fuels, all in attempt to limit greenhouse gas to extend our existence on this planet. Regardless of the reasons our Republican candidates oppose these solutions, the issue represents why politicians are hated. It’s unfathomable to go against their religion while broadcasting the immensity of their belief. Unwilling to compromise contributes to the poor operation of our cur-

rent political system. Luckily for us, we do have the final say. At the end of this season, we get to choose our favorite. March is the primary election, and next November will be the general election. The entertainment will come to an end, and policies will be put in place. Selecting the leader who looks at the longevity of the Earth, not just potential economic problems in doing so is crucial. After all, this current reality show will affect the world we live in.

Leave death penalty decision up to Nebraskans Justin McCully

n May 21 Nebraska made national headlines by being the first conservative state in 40 years to abolish the death penalty. The wide support from both conservative and liberal lawmakers in the Unicameral and their decision to override the Governor’s veto made this vote special. Opponents of the death penalty argued points ranging from the application being too costly, legal obstacles and, in some cases, it going against their Catholic beliefs. Since then Gov. Pete Ricketts orchestrated a successful effort to make the death penalty an issue for referendum on the November 2016 ballot. This process suspended the death penalty repeal legislation, allowing attorneys in Nebraska to once more be able to seek the death penalty. Nebraskans are now left with determining the value of capital punishment in society. Capital punishment has been a controversial issue in contemporary times, as the standards of society have changed in the wake of an evolving notion of decency. Capital punishment is rooted in our very foundation and is

provided for in our Constitution in the language of the 5th Amendment: “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury.” Capital punishment is a hallmark of a period of time in which the concept of justice was based more on the idea of retribution than rehabilitation. While society slowly slips further to leaning toward using sentencing as a means of rehabilitation, this doesn’t imply that capital punishment has ceased to serve any purpose in society. The U.S. Supreme Court has defended the right to utilize capital punishments, defining what constitutes cruel and unusual under the 8th Amendment to the Constitution. Capital punishment must be viewed in the eyes of proportionality as outlined in Gregg v. Georgia, meaning that it makes sense to reserve capital punishment for our most heinous crimes and bar its use for lesser offenses. It means that when determining the definition of cruel and unusual under the 8th amendment, there must be a rational criteria and a societal consensus. In Nebraska, sentencing for capital punishment is only allowed in cases in which the defendant has been convicted of first degree murder. So long as the crime fits these criteria, the Nebraskans should be allowed to seek it in cases if they so desire. Capital punishment is a right reserved to punish the most heinous of crimes, and when used properly expresses the outrage of a community. Denying individuals the right to sentence violent criminals to death when deemed necessary reduces their ability to choose the means by which they execute justice.

The criticisms of the current system are valid. For all intents and purposes, the state has been without the death penalty for quite some time. Nebraska hasn’t executed anyone since 1997. Giving further credence to the argument is that Nebraska has made investments in a method of execution with an expiration date. In the time it takes to get through all the litigation involved with the appeals process, the drugs involved in execution can expire. Because of the current FDA embargo, they are more difficult to acquire, creating an artificial shortage that works against proponents of capital punishment. Nebraska is now unable to perform lethal injections consistent with its legal code because of a lack of two of the three drugs involved in the process. While Nebraska has an obligation to uphold fair sentencing measures, the difficulties in procuring the drugs suggests a need to find another means of execution rather than simply outlawing capital punishment. Nebraska could take a similar route as Utah and authorize the firing squad as the means of execution. This would continue to provide the procedural safeguards created by the process of appeals and allow for executions to occur without fear of the means of execution becoming invalid, barring any ruling by the Supreme Court. With issues of capital punishment, Nebraskans should be allowed to determine the legality of its application. The Senators of the Unicameral are supposed to ultimately represent the people of their districts in Nebraska. If they are truly representing their constituents, then the referendum should be reflective of the

Senators’ votes. This means the referendum will uphold the legislation passed in the Unicameral. Allowing the legislation of the Unicameral to be placed on a referendum adds legitimacy to the decision by giving the people of Nebraska the final word. The fact that 143,000 people, roughly a tenth of the state’s population, were willing to sign a petition to challenge the repeal shows that misgivings exist toward the determination of the Unicameral. This is reinforced by the fact the vote passed only after a veto from the Governor, who is one of the few elected officials in the state representing the entire state. Whether the death penalty is repealed or upheld, opening up the vote to referendum is more representative of the Nebraska’s values. The issue of capital punishment is one that requires a societal consensus, which wasn’t met by the ruling of the legislature. Nebraskans could easily make the death penalty more workable, or they could repeal it. The people of the state of Nebraska should be allowed to determine the application of justice in regard to the taking of a human life. If this means capital punishment is upheld, it shouldn’t be seen as holding on to an archaic form of punishment, but as a reflection of the values of society.

Powerpoints strangle learning process

thin shrill of a girl fills up the dead lecture hall. The hand raise is never necessary, but ubiquitous. The question is a demand disguised as a request. “Can we go back a slide?” I wonder what would happen if someone said “no” for a change. I may not be a teacher, but this isn’t learning. A good lecture inspires a lightning bolt from the brain to the pen, a thin thread of possible connection unraveling and re-forming with the turnings of an impatient mind. Unfortunately, many University of Nebraska-Lincoln classes are stuck with the coffee grounds of the educational world: Powerpoints, or their contoured counterpart, Prezi. The subject of these lectures seems to be how to take notes with the efficiency of Siri. In normal circumstances, you can’t simply ask someone to repeat what he or she is saying so you get every word. In fact, asking someone to repeat something changes the tone, so the repetition may not be true to the original sentiment. I rarely see job listings for scribes on Monster.com anymore, and maybe it’s because the majority of people in the world think oral comprehension is a given. Adding value to words requires interpre-

tation, which Powerpoint and unenthusiastic lecturers are draining from the educational system. Using Powerpoint slides is the equivalent of training a mouse to push a button for cheese. See book, don’t buy book, come to class. See words, copy words, pass test. But this system doesn’t promote comprehension, and it certainly doesn’t provoke interest in the subject. Taking away this handicap forces students to at least summarize what’s been said in their own words. If you’re talking to a human professor, it’s a little more awkward to press the left arrow key. A dialogue demands attention, not just a set of ears. “These slides will be on Blackboard” is a cop out. Why would anyone come to class, besides attendance points? If lectures don’t add anything to the Powerpoint slides, the lecture needs to be modified. We live in a world where we can take a dozen courses online at a time. If we want to learn a language, we have phone apps. If we have an interest in philosophy, we can check out a book. If we want to sound intelligent without putting effort into actually learning something, we pull up a TEDTalk. This starts in the 100-level classes. If people learn to take notes like sleep-deprived robots, they won’t be prepared for the classes where a

professor asks them to independently identify the research question. I can read on my own time. Reading isn’t an efficient use of a group’s time. A conversation, on the other hand, both reinforces and inspires new insight. A conversation invites discussion, disagreement and opinions (some less informed than others). Many people harbor bias and are never questioned on it. In a discussion, the professor can merely cock an eyebrow to point out a student’s logical fallacies. In a lecture, the professor may be the biased one, and no one can call him or her out on it. Disregard what Career Services says. Employers don’t care about critical reading and writing skills. Unless you’re going to graduate schools, these aren’t the most important things to put down on a resume. The ability to talk and debate won’t necessarily get your foot in the door, but it could stop them from tossing you out. Talking and debating is part of what we need to be learning, but instead we’re learning to come to class like human archives, saving bits of knowledge for pub trivia. We’ve got people in the class with real experiences, cultures or work histories that would enrich lectures. But no one’s going to volunteer to share in a class full of drones.

A real lecturer is someone who wouldn’t need a Powerpoint to present the material. UNL has experts from all fields, and I believe they use tools like Powerpoint to try and get their true knowledge across to students. But the trick is that we need less storytellers and more storyshowers. The professor teaching it should be immersed enough to create a narrative. He or she should be able to admit biases. An art teacher shouldn’t have to Google what colors are complementary. A history teacher shouldn’t have to be reminded when Ronald Reagan was president. My political science professors should be able to explain, without a Powerpoint, the difference between socialism and communism. These professors aren’t bored with their own research, so why do some insist on teaching it like they are? Boiling the essence of a lesson down to bullet-points does it a disservice, not because it’s incorrect, but because it stops any wonder at the front gate. Using Powerpoint to paint the story of higher education is like using Microsoft Paint to create a picture. It’ll work, but only if you turn off your brain and squint.

SNL shouldn’t allow Donald Trump to host show Decision increases Trump’s already excessive media coverage, takes away from other presidential candidates

hy? Why was I able to find 15 instances of his name on CNN’s homepage at one point? Why am I talking about him now? I promised myself I wouldn’t write about him, wouldn’t feed into the growing media coverage. But, here I am because I feel I need to somehow counteract what’s to come Nov. 7; GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is going to host Saturday Night Live. While some advocacy groups opposed SNL’s decision to invite Trump on the basis of his comments about undocumented immigrants, there’s something more concerning about him hosting than his unapologetic rhetoric. Allowing him to appear on the comedy skit show millions of adults watch every week will only grant him more screen time, which he undoubtedly has enough of. Everywhere I go, there he is. On Monday I found myself perusing CNN’s homepage, and under the top stories, his name jumped out at me twice. In the opinion section, there he was again: “Trump: The social media president?” The answer to your question, CNN, is yes, partially thanks to you. Jeb Bush and Chris Christie’s names lurked near the bottom of the homepage, each with only one lonely opinion article. Poor Rand Paul and John Kasich didn’t even make the homepage. It’s no wonder Trump is in second in the polls . The media can’t get enough of him. SNL is only adding to the media’s overcoverage of Trump, and there’s really no reason for it, other than entertainment val- radio stations should give equal airtime ue. SNL knows people will tune in to hear to candidates. This makes the grounds for what comes out of his mouth next. While actually enforcing it a little shaky.

SNL has allowed politicians to appear on the show. Earlier this month, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appeared on the show, though not as a host, and in 1984, Rev. Jesse Jackson played the role of host, no doubt as a way to help in his campaign for president. SNL has a legacy of allowing politicians on the show, and it doesn’t seem likely to change. It’s controversial, which only increases viewership. The problem isn’t just with SNL and the media. It’s us too. It’s me, talking about Trump right now. It’s you, when you post that picture of him. The one where his hair is blowing in the wind, juxtaposed against the corn picture that looks eerily like him . When we do this, we’re generously sprinkling references to him across the Internet, and in a sense, helping his campaign. This Halloween season feels especially scary to me, and it’s not because of the spooky skeleton decorations everywhere and Omaha’s Pumpkin Dance. Trump is popping out from behind every corner like one of those over-the-top werewolves at a haunted house. He’s loud, proud, and we have no control over where he appears next. That’s the scary part. It seems there’s noth-

ing we can do. And I don’t know what’s worse: adding to the attention by addressing the problems with Trump, or ignoring him completely, letting him do what he pleases without any consequences. What I do know is that we have power as voters. We can choose to vote for Democratic-Socialists like Bernie Sanders or Libertarian-Republicans like Rand Paul. We don’t need to vote for the loudest candidate. We have options. While SNL lets Trump parade around next week, we can use the inevitable Thanksgiving political conversations with our family as an opportunity to drop some fresh names.

Democratic race for president lacks true contenders

ast week, my heart sank – Joe Biden announced he wouldn’t run for president. This news wasn’t terribly surprising to me, but it was unfortunate. While I might not have necessarily voted for Biden, the phrase “Ridin’ with Biden” did make the prospect pretty tempting. I don’t agree with his decision not to run. Obviously I can’t speak for him, and I know that I can’t comprehend what it has been like for him to deal with the loss of his son as well as being Vice President. However, I think it’s a grave mistake. Biden cited time as his enemy and ultimate deterrent from running – I’m not convinced. Before his announcement, the VP was polling at 17 percent, had raised a ton of money and hadn’t even entered the race yet. Biden would have arguably had the strongest shot at the nomination, pulling the moderate voters who don’t want to vote for Hillary and the Bernie supporters who think he might just be a touch radical. He probably would’ve just swallowed all of O’Malley’s voters. Biden’s argument that there just “isn’t enough time to mount a serious campaign” seems silly given his already firm third place without announcing. Ultimately though, I’m disappointed that good ol’ Joe isn’t running because I’m frustrated with the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party this election cycle has been all but democratic. While I’m thrilled that Lincoln Chafee and Jim Webb dropped out of the race, a three person race is hardly indicative of a representative democracy, especially when that “three person” race is basically 1.5 people. Without the presence of Biden, we aren’t just missing out on more of his fabulous grins and the inevitable sly digs he would

throw out in debates. We’re also missing out on the opportunity to have more of our voices heard. The democratic race desperately needs another contender. And while I disagree with Biden not having enough time, I don’t think many other candidates could enter this late into the race and come out with the nomination. Right now, the Democratic race to the nomination is basically the Hillary Clinton show, with hit reoccurring guest Bernie Sanders and underappreciated musical guest Martin O’Malley. All of these candidates are very different, which is great, but what are moderate Democrats and Independents supposed to do? Clinton’s two opponents are definitely left of her on the political spectrum, forcing her campaign to run a more progressive route than she normally would take. If the democrats keep running to the left, it’s hard to think that they’ll win the White House in 2016, especially with a red-leaning, moderate voting base. Sanders has been appealing to young voters so far this election, and now that’s where Clinton is focusing her efforts. As a young person, this is exciting, but the reality is that 1835 year olds don’t vote – middle-aged people do, and middle-aged people (and older!) are swinging pretty conservatively these days. This problem, of course, is fixable. Candidates like Clinton could show their true moderate colors and not try to skew to the left, or we could have more candidates. Preferably both. But with Biden’s declaration, who’s left? Al Gore could show up and truly make this race a throwback to the ’90s, but he wouldn’t be worth much. Elizabeth Warren has already said she won’t run, much to the dismay of many democrats. She’s

more useful in the Senate anyway. There are a few democrats who I’d like to personally see on a ticket, but no one has national clout like Clinton or even Sanders do. While I will be the first to tell someone about what a disaster the 2016 GOP race is, I’m envious of the amount of options it has, as well as opportunities to tell candidates’ stories. The GOP has 11 debates before the primaries next spring, while the Democrats only have five. While so far the singular democratic debate has produced more substance than the multiple GOP shows, five debates isn’t enough to give Americans a sense of who they’re potentially voting for. Unfortunately, I don’t expect any of the ways

I’m disappointed in the Democratic Party to be changed by the end of the 2016 race. It would be unrealistic to think things can change this late in the game. What I hope, though, is that people realize after this cycle how non-representative the party is being and demand change for the future. Or who knows, maybe Biden will tell us he was just kidding and enter the race, giving me reason to care about the democratic primaries again.
