THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR My favorite thing about not being allowed to have a Facebook until my senior year of high school is there are no embarrassing pictures of my middle-school self floating around the internet. If you had asked me a year ago why I wasn’t “allowed” to have a Facebook account, I would’ve said it was because my parents didn’t want me to or didn’t trust me. I didn’t understand how big a role social media would have in my life (I’m now the engagement editor at The Daily Nebraskan and have aspirations of finding a career in social media). I don’t think my parents knew either – but they had a lot more wisdom than 16-yearold Emmie did. When I made Twitter and Instagram accounts in high school, my parents were among my first followers. Before I posted anything, I reminded myself my parents would see what I posted and reevaluated whether I would post it. I haven’t had that thought recently. My parents’ rules taught me to present myself for who I am on social media. If I wouldn’t say something in front of them or post something because they’ll see it, I really shouldn’t be posting it. As a high schooler, I resented that my parents had rules about social media, but years later, I appreciate what those rules
taught me. As a sophomore in college, my mindset on my parents’ social media rules has changed dramatically. As I prepare to apply for jobs and internships, writing cover letters and editing my resume, I’m especially thankful. My advisor told me about a service University of Nebraska-Lincoln Career Services offers: a social media check. The staff sits down with students and goes through the students’ accounts to look for posts deemed inappropriate that should be deleted so they’re not seen by prospective employers. I told my advisor, “I don’t care if any of my future employers see anything on my social media accounts because I have nothing to hide from them. My social media accounts are representative of who I am.” Thank you, Mom and Dad for knowing what’s best for me when I obviously didn’t and helping me grow into the confident young woman I’m proud to be. Cheers, Emmie McMinn Engagement Editor

Among obstacles, College Republican thrives Aaron Hegarty dn staff writer
Editor’s note: Matt Server, a Daily Nebraskan assistant opinion editor is a member of UNL’s chapter of College Republicans. He was not involved the reporting, writing or editing of this story. In her three years on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Caitlin Holman has only missed one weekly College Republicans meeting. “I don’t remember why,” she said. “It was a long time ago.” For the political science and history major at UNL, participating in the organization is part hobby and part passion. Since the spring of her sophomore year, Holman has served as president of the UNL chapter of College Republicans. She became state chair of the organization in April 2015. Holman has interned at the Nebraska Republican Party since January 2015, trying her hand at everything from working on dayto-day operations of the office to planning events with presidential candidates. She puts in about 20 hours a week, according to Bud Synhorst, the executive director of the Nebraska Republican Party. All her hard work has paid off in several ways. Holman traveled with the Nebraska Republican Party to Cleveland for the Republican National Convention in July. She also appeared live on Fox News’ Facebook page with political commentator Dana Perino, discussing what it’s like to be a Republican on a college campus. Despite living in a red state, Holman sticks out on a mostly liberal campus. Just 31 percent of registered voters under the age of 30 identify as or lean Republican, compared with fifty percent who lean Democrat, according to a July Gallup poll. “It’s definitely been tough sometimes,” Holman said. “I’ve faced opposition in classrooms ... where it’s hard to feel like your opinion is being validated by the teacher and that you are not automatically wrong because you disagree.” According to Holman, Republican students have had problems with professors downgrading papers just because of the opinions presented. She said there are “a lot of conservatives that are hesitant to get involved or be vocal.” “It’s a problem on every college campus,”
she said. “A lot of [professors] don’t even know they are ... under-validating your opinion in a room full of people that agree with the teacher.” But Holman said being around liberal students and professors has made her better at articulating her beliefs. Having a liberal aunt, uncle, sister and best friend hasn’t made her a more moderate Republican. But it has helped challenge her ideas and strengthen her argu-
spreading conservatism on campus, Synhorst said. “Caitlin does a nice job of sticking to [respectful discussions],” Synhorst said. “But if someone is going to go down in the mud, she’s not afraid to defend herself and her positions.” Holman’s work for the party has been valuable, Synhorst said. “It’s important to get young people involved and engaged [in the Republican

She said talking with those who disagree with her views has allowed her to find common ground with them, making problemsolving more likely. “[College students] don’t know how to be respectful in conversations sometimes,” Holman said. “But I think so many times, those conversations can lead to awesome ends. What starts off as a divisive conversation can really lead to a solution that, maybe, nobody has thought of before.” Holman has tried her best to encourage discussion instead of “mudslinging” while
Party],” Synhorst said. “She’s got a passion for our platform, and I think that’s very important. She does a good job of bringing people together, and I think that the passion for the platform and the ability to be out there and doing those things are what makes her be successful.” Holman has lived in the same Nebraska state legislative district, the 27th District, her entire life. She can see herself running to represent that district some day. “I’ve seen some horrible things that have gone on in the [legislature] that’d I’d love to
be a part of fixing,” Holman said. “I really love Nebraska. I’ve lived in the same district my entire life, so I think I have the inside scoop on what is important to those people.” Holman said her “biggest issue” is state legislators not representing their constituents well. The vote to end the death penalty and secret ballots to appoint committee members have been especially frustrating, she said. “[Secret balloting] leads its way to corruption,” Holman said. “It leads to people not being honest about how they are voting. There’s no reason for that in government. I think government needs to be transparent, unless it’s a matter of national security.” She also said she would like to change how Nebraska awards its five electoral votes. Nebraska is one of two states that gives a vote to the winner of each congressional district. Holman said that gives other states an advantage over Nebraska. “If she were to be a politician someday, you know that you can always trust the things that she says because of the past work that she’s done,” said Elizabeth Todsen, who works with Holman in College Republicans and at the Nebraska Republican Party. “She absolutely loves coming to work,” Todsen said. “We have so much fun in the office.” But serving in the Unicameral isn’t Holman’s only goal. First, she plans to spend some time on Capitol Hill discovering where she fits best. Whether that means working on a politician’s staff or focusing on a single policy from the outside, she’s not sure yet. “I want to be where I can make the biggest impact,” Holman said. “I’m sure whatever I’m meant to do, the opportunity will present itself, and we’ll just run with it.” Holman said growing up in a middle-class household as the daughter of a small-business owner helped shape her political views. “I think seeing that struggle of two people trying to make ends meet the right way showed me that economic prosperity is really important,” Holman said. “It is important every single person is able to achieve that – not just the very rich.”. But Holman said public service is also very important to her. “There are a lot of people who are not getting their fair shake out of life in so many problems, whether it’s education or regulation.” Holman said. “I think it’s really important to give back.” NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Game-day display supports kneeling Huskers Rafe Parker DN STAFF WRITER
In light of the recent controversy over three Nebraska Cornhusker football players kneeling during the national anthem before the Sept. 24 football game, a group of University of Nebraska-Lincoln students gathered Saturday to stand in solidarity with the players. The students held up signs and stood around the phrase “Black Lives Matter” written in chalk in front of Richards Hall. Participants held up signs with messages such as “Solidarity” and “Stand Up for Black Lives.” Other signs displayed the names of the players who kneeled — Michael Rose-Ivey, DaiShon Neal and Mohamed Barry — at the game against Northwestern University. Rosana Ybarra, a graduate student at UNL, organized the demonstration. She said the idea came after the controversy following the game. After talking with a local Black Lives Matter organizer, she started planning the demonstration with her peers in the Department of Art and Art History.

Wine classes educate students about age-old drink Jacob Elliott dn staff writer
For most, wine is complicated – so much so a class was created to help students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln better understand it. Horticulture 441: Vines, Wine and You teaches students anything and everything they would ever need to know about viticulture, oenology and the consumption of wine. The class is being taught by Paul Read, a UNL professor of agronomy and horticulture and a viticulturist, someone who studies or grows grapes. He gives the class lectures on the growth of grapes and the history, science, sale and culinary uses of the grape and its end product, wine. Meanwhile, labs take students out of the classroom and into different plots and retail sectors so they’ll get a better understanding of wine. The class will be taught again next semester, but students must be 21 or older to participate. “I get a lot of feedback from students, even years after the class, that it’s be valuable to their profession,” Read said. “For example, a student, in one type of business or another, can feel confident ordering wine for a meal. It is exceptionally useful for the hospitality business. Several take it simply to be more knowledgeable consumers.” Students who take the class can taste wines from all around the world. Read select wines from places like Eastern Europe, Australia and South Africa, as well as wines from Iowa and Nebraska. At the end of the class, students partake in a meal with four different wines, each paired with the proper course. While the event does cost an additional $40, Read says the meal is well worth the price. Wine is a rather new business to Nebraska, according to Steve Gamut, a viticulture technologist in UNL’s viniculture program. Many Nebraska grape farms were scrapped during Prohibition, Gamet said. When Pro-
hibition did end, grapes took longer than tobacco or wheat to produce a profit and weren’t subsidizd like corn. It wasn’t until 1986 that Nebraska passed the Farm Wineries Act to make wine-making more lucrative. And it wasn’t until 1994 that Nebraska’s first winery opened. Grape vines in Nebraska have to be able to survive harsh and unstable winters. A quick cold freeze can result in frozen buds, or worse, the sap within the plant can freeze, killing the entire vine, Gamet said. But certain cultivars, or grape types, are more adept to growing in Nebraska weather, with hybrid cultivars doing the best in the Midwest. But because of the weather, grapes in eastern Nebraska are less likely to get a disease. As a result, grapes that would otherwise be ignored can do well in the Midwest. Wine research at UNL is quite extensive: The viticulture program has three plots dedicated to studying grape growth. But Gamet said one class can’t even begin to scratch the surface of wine’s extensive history. “Wine and growing grapes is like 3,000 to 5,000-yearold industry,” Gamet said. “There have been wars fought over wine, and divorces. You could study it for a lifetime and probably not cover everything.”

SIGNS: FROM PAGE 4 Ybarra said she chose Richards Hall as the demonstration location because of the thousands of people who would pass by on their way to the game. “We know that we can’t represent the entire school,” Ybarra said in an email, “but we wanted to show that the UNL arts community is behind Michael, DaiShon and Mohamed’s right to free speech and peaceful protest.” The demonstration began at noon, and participants stayed until after fans went into the stadium for the 2:30 p.m. game against the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Makaela Harder, a senior art major, said many of the participants made the signs when they arrived. She said Ybarra wrote a significant number of signs to display on the walls and hand out to others.
Harder said she wanted to participate in the demonstration because she feels it’s important for the white community to show solidarity with the three players who chose to kneel. “They are entitled to freedom of speech, and it’s unfair to deprive them of that right just because they’re on the field,” she said. Harder and Ybarra said the group received mixed reactions from football fans passing by. “There were waves of approval, fists up, clapping and thanking us,” Ybarra said. “But there were just as many if not more people who scoffed and were visibly agitated.” Harder said she knew some people would react negatively to the demonstration. “There’s a significant divide in political views in Nebraska, especially between the major cities and the more rural parts, and the

game draws people into Lincoln from each side,” Harder said. Ybarra said only a few people stopped and argued with the group. She also said there were two supportive police officers who frequently checked in, making sure the group was safe. Ybarra said when the group left, they decided to leave the signs up through the afternoon and evening to continue showing solidarity. She said she came back later that night to take down the posters out of respect for the cleanliness of the building and the grounds workers. But once Ybarra removed the signs, someone tried to wash out the “v” in the word “lives” chalked on the sidewalk so the phrase would read “Black Lies Matter.” Ybarra said
she could only think of one reason someone would do that. “They do not support the Black Lives Matter movement and considered the presence of our demonstration and posters an insult,” she said. But Ybarra said the whole point of the demonstration was to show Rose-Ivey, Neal and Barry they’re not alone. “We wanted to show that there are allies present in the Lincoln community, that we support and value them.” NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

UNL student a successful newcomer to drag world GRACE BRADFORD dn staff writer
William Havranek remembers the first time he saw a drag queen. When he was 18, he went to his first gay club and saw Alaska 5000 perform. “When I saw her, I was sold,” Havranek said. He said it was one of the coolest things he’s ever seen. . “It was so raw and raunchy,” he said. Havranek walked out of the club with an interest in drag performing. Originally from Washington, D.C., Havranek chose to attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to study international business but didn’t think he’d end up becoming a drag queen. He first became interested in drag in the District, but he was too new to perform as a drag queen. Havranek didn’t perform drag until he walked into The Alley, a gay bar in downtown Lincoln. There, Havranek became friends with the drag queens, who pushed him into performing. He went through a oneday “drag boot camp,” where he learned the basics of makeup. After hours of teaching himself and practicing with other drag queens, Havranek started booking shows and performing as Venus Valhalla, his stage character. Havranek chose the first name, Venus, because Venus rotates clockwise, which makes it different from all other planets. When choosing his character’s last name, Valhalla, he turned to Norse Mythology. He said according to Norse Mythology, Valhalla is the heaven warriors go to. Havranek said the Lincoln drag community is more welcoming than drag communities in bigger cities. “People are less big-headed here,” he said. Performing in a bigger city is more of a “shark tank,” Havranek said. “You make a lot more money performing in bigger cities, so the atmosphere is super competitive.” Havranek has had the opportunity to meet and perform alongside other drag queens, including Eden Butz, performed by Frederico Quiñones-Flores.
Originally from Brooklyn, Flores said the Brooklyn drag queen scene is raunchier and more daring. He said as more drag queens come to Lincoln, he would like to see them break the mold and evolve into edgier and more provocative performers.Flores has been performing as Eden Butz at The Alley for about as long as Havranek, but he said he’s already seen Venus Valhalla progress as a drag queen. “Venus is willing to try new things and is not afraid to be out of the box,” Flores said. Flores said he appreciates seeing drag queens who aren’t afraid to branch out and be “out of the box.” Before Havranek takes the stage as Venus, he spends two to three hours getting ready. All of the makeup and costumes are expensive, Havranek said. Because he doesn’t know how to sew, Havranek buys Venus’ costumes and has to custom order her high heels. When Venus takes the stage, she always receives the same adrenaline rush. Venus has messed up while performing, especially when it comes to lip-syncing and her wardrobe. “The first show I ever did, I was wearing a strapless outfit, and it fell off.” Havranek said. No matter the performance, Havranek said it’s always acceptable to act crazy. From the makeup to the costumes and the actual performance, Havranek believes being a drag queen is an art form, and the whole process makes him feel special. “Wearing and performing in 6-inch heels makes everyone feel special,” he said. Havranek said he feels lucky he’s received so much support from his friends and family since becoming part of the Lincoln drag community. But he isn’t sure whether he’ll continue doing drag for the rest of his life. Havranek said he’s “committed” to drag but eventually wants to start up his own nonprofit organization, working against the HIV/ AIDS epidemic or for women’s education in
“Wearing and performing in 6-inch heels makes everyone feel special.”

GLEASON: ‘Late Registration’ is Kanye’s best work Anna Gleason dn staff writer
Basically everyone has heard of Kanye West. He’s been in the music industry for more than 15 years and is arguably one of the most polarizing celebrities to ever exist. You either love Kanye, or you absolutely despise him. I find him fascinating, falling into the “love” category. Some might say I even venture into a third, “obsessed,” category. While I enjoy “Life of Pablo” and “Yeezus,” the most meaningful album he’s ever produced, to me, will always be “Late Registration.” Not only is it one of his firsts and has a lot more meaningful lyrics than “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 2” (the one in which he talks about the model’s bleached a**hole), but it also was probably the first album I ever truly listened to. “Late Registration” is complex but easy to listen to. It’s the pinnacle of classic Kanye West rap. He raps about his mother, social justice and his own thoughts and feelings. It was exactly what 16-year-old me needed: meaningful, but still catchy and groovy, a perfect mix of synthetic beats, vocals, live instruments and eloquent rap. It introduced me to a whole new universe of music and what music could be. I had little to no opinion of Kanye West until about my junior year of high school, 2012, right about when “Mercy” was released and Kimye became official. During this time, I was going through a stereotypical 16-year-old identity crisis and trying to find out what I was about. This is going to sound stupid, but I’m only being 60 percent sarcastic when I say Kanye West helped me find myself. Throughout middle school and the onslaught of high school, I was never an “album person.” Instead, like many confused teenagers, I listened almost exclusively to music on the radio and sporadically downloaded select, individual songs onto my mp3 player (my
parents were too cheap for an iPod for a long time). I never ventured far out of the world of Top 40, something that haunts and embarrasses me to this day. But while I was trapped in the infinite circle of American Top 40, I still strived to be a musical inspiration. I always wanted to be the person people turn to for music recommendations, that person with the banger playlist whom you always want to hand the auxiliary cord to. To this day, I feel a rush of pride like no other when someone compliments my music taste or says, “Anna always plays the best music.” Honestly, I owe all that to Kanye West. I honestly couldn’t figure out what kind of music I liked for the longest time. If we’re being honest, no one truly dislikes pop music. Pop music is catchy and infectious — that’s its purpose, and it’s designed to be liked. So yes, I enjoyed pop music, and I went through a stereotypical angsty pop-punk phase as well, but going into high school, I still hadn’t found my niche. My parents listened exclusively to classical music and NPR, and most of my friends listened to KDWB, Minnesota’s Top 40 radio station that specializes in playing the same five songs on repeat, literally, for hours. I remember “Gold Digger,” the fourth track and most popular single on “Late Registration,” just as well as anyone. The iconic collaboration between Kanye West and Jamie Foxx is one of the cornerstones of this generation of music, and I, like many others, religiously memorized the entirety of Kanye’s rap in middle school because it made me feel hardcore. But, like many album singles, that was one of the only Kanye West songs I knew. In all honesty, I’m not 100 percent sure I could’ve told you it was a Kanye West song until I was about 16. In the interest of full disclosure, I’ll say probably, the only reason I started listening to the rest of “Late Registration” was because I thought people who liked rap and hip-hop were cool. It was badass and made me, an
michael johnson | dn introverted kid from the predominantly white suburbs of Minnesota, feel inexplicably cool. But for whatever reason, fate or my own insecurity, I kept listening, and I became absolutely, genuinely enamoured. From then on, I devoured everything Kanye produced. I then progressed to Jay-Z, Chance the Rapper and others. But my first will always be Kanye and “Late Registration.” Because of “Late Registration,” I grew confident in my musical tastes; I finally found what I’d been looking for. No longer did I rely on popular music or my friends to define my musical preferences. I finally found something I genuinely enjoyed enough to form the rest of my tastes.
VENUS: FROM PAGE 7 the Middle East. As an international business major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, he’ll have the opportunity to study abroad in Japan for a semester. Flores said there are many misconceptions about gay clubs and drag shows. “We just want to have a good time,” he said. He encourages people to have an open mind and come to The Alley to see
the performances. Flores will be cohosting an event on Oct. 16 where all proceeds will benefit the non-profit organization Star City Pride. Lincoln students will have the opportunity to see Venus Valhalla and other drag queens perform at the Guys and Dolls drag show Oct. 30 at the Nebraska Union. ARTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM
That album shaped my musical tastes, and to this day, I almost never skip a song from it when it comes up on shuffle. Sure, I still listen to pop music, among other genres, but rap and hip-hop are integral parts of my music taste and personality. Many people have told me I come to their mind whenever Kanye West is mentioned or seen. That’s how intense this situation is. And now, whenever someone hands me the auxiliary cord or asks me to make a playlist for an event, I do so with confidence and poise because of Kanye West and “Late Registration.” ARTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

By Marilyn Kennedy Melia, Real Estate Content That Works Apartment hunters place a high priority on something they can’t really see when they step into a unit – fast Internet connectivity and cell phone reception. Renters of all ages want to be able to live easily online wherever they choose to physically live, explains Caitlin Sugrue Walter, director of research for the National Multifamily Housing Council. The NMHC/Kingsley Associates 2015 Apartment Resident Preferences Survey showed 94 percent of respondents voted their top housing priority to be high-speed Internet, beating out runner-ups like walk-in closets and a patio or balcony. “When we reference high-speed Internet, we’re generally talking about broadband Internet,” explains Rick Haughey, vice president for Industry Technology Initiatives at NMHC.

In early 2015, the Federal Communications Commission updated its broadband benchmark
speeds to 25 megabits per second for download and 3 Mbps for uploads, to reflect today’s advanced voice, data, graphics and video offerings. Some apartments today offer data speeds of up to 125 Mbps, notes Haughey, though, he adds, there are a number of issues, such as wiring limitations, can prevent getting that full capacity. While many apartment complexes provide wireless access in common areas, “few provide property-wide Wi-Fi for the common areas and the units themselves,” says Haughey. The NMHC survey also found that 53 percent of respondents checked their cell phone reception when touring properties; cell phone reception is dependent on a separate cellular communications network, notes Haughey. However, “with the recent introduction of WiFi calling, which shifts the call from the cellular network to either the resident or community Wi-Fi, the two networks are working more in tandem today than every before,” Haughey adds.

DICKINSON: ‘The Magnificent 7” overdone yet solid Kendall Dickinson dn staff writer
“The Magnificent Seven” is a classic 1960s Western film that has just been remade by director Antoine Fuqua. This time around, with an all-star cast, “The Magnificent Seven” is a group that’s vastly diverse in race, gender and personality — some outlaws, some innocent bystanders and a few old friends. “The Magnificent Seven” is a very simple Western. There’s an evil man who needs to be taken down, and, much like in Marvel’s “Avengers,” a team is assembled to do so. There’s a lot of downtime disguised as build up, which is perfect for throwing in a few good jokes at other team members’ expense. Then, we are brought to the final fight scene, the most incredibly executed shootout, where said villain might, or might not be defeated. The dynamic of the plot was a captivating storyline in 1960 because it hadn’t been used yet, but it doesn’t work now. Yet the Fuque knows this — he’s fully aware of what the film is: pure, exciting fun. When big, bad industrialist Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard) and his crew of white capitalists try to take over all the Midwest land in hopes of mining gold, they threaten the quiet farm town of Rose Creek. Emma Cullen (Haley Bennett), an upset resident and frontierswoman, finally has the guts to take him head-on. She seeks righteousness but will settle for revenge. Sam Chisolm, a bounty hunter played by Denzel Washington, seems worthy enough for the job. After assembling a mean group of six other gunslingers, including the whimsical Chris Pratt as Josh Faraday, a gambling, oneliner perfectionist who has a quick draw. Next is Chisolm’s old friend, the ex-Confederate Goodnight Robicheaux (Ethan Hawke) and his Korean, knife-wielding assistant Billy Rocks (Byung-hun Lee). With a large bounty on his head, a Texican named Vasquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) joins in exchange for his freedom. The final two members are an Indian warrior/ outcast named Red Harvest (Martin Sensmeier) and a big, bear-looking man/head-scalper, Jack Horner (Vincent D’Onofrio).
No, it’s not “Django Unchained” by any means – nor will it be a classic film for years to come. But oddly enough, that’s what makes it so charming. There’s room to breathe — you don’t have to think about a complex diegesis. It’s a good film with awesome gun fights and quirky characters. It’s extremely amusing to watch, and that’s it. There’s not a lot of depth to the film, but the characters have strong personalities. Each is unique and entertaining, displaying an array of personalities and humors. Even when the film’s momentum is lacking, they’re able to keep the momentum going with their witty repartee. The villainous Bartholomew Bogue is a cartoon character – a true textbook villain. I mean, get a load of that brilliant name: “Bartholomew Bogue” I quiver at the evident evil beaming from that name. He’s wonderful and pure evil, killing whoever whenever and for no reason whatsoever. Of course, his fate and actions are foreseeable, but that doesn’t make him any less enjoyable to watch. He’s an absolute cliche, but time and time again, his character works. Goodnight, a real sharpshooter, brings more background and depth. As he suffers from PTSD, which is actually pretty frightening to watch, it’s apparent there’s something Goodnight and Chisolm dealt with together in the past. That being said, we’re never completely learn what that might have been — at least for Goodnight, anyway. Washington once again teams up with Fuqua, as he did in “Training Day,” now playing Chisolm, who’s surely the most magnificent of the seven. Washington’s character, ever so gracefully riding on his horse performing impressive tricks, is a true hero with a “no-bulls**t” attitude. Obviously, all of Washington’s portrayals are pretty staggering, so there’s no need for further explanation. Pratt’s character is a gambler (literally and metaphorically), using card tricks against those unfortunate enough to mess with him. Of the seven gunmen, the playful banter coming from Pratt, whose role was highly improvised, is one of the most satisfying highlights of the film, as Pratt is having nothing but gen-
uine bliss channeling Faraday. The end credits come slashing into Elmer Bernstein’s original 1960 score, playing as a tribute, a pleasant touch. The audio was fantastic: My chair would shake with the stampede of horses and the bombardment of gun shots, both of which were almost constant. The end scene has guns blazing, major explosions, people falling out of windows and Indians flinging arrows. It’s a masterpiece. If Fuqua accomplished nothing else, through a series of close camera shots, quick-draws and comical violence, he at least made a movie that’s entertaining as hell. People are dying left and right, but there’s no blood in sight.
“He’s an absolute cliche, but time and time again his character works.”

DONAHUE: Pet costume gender labels don’t matter
Carter Donahue dn staff columnist
As Halloween approaches, the wait for one of the most enjoyable holidays of the year is almost over. One of the best parts about getting ready for Halloween is the search for the perfect costume. Every year, we see all kinds
of costumes involving our favorite horror villains, athletes, TV characters and professions. Now, even pets are involved in the fun. But, as sad as it sounds to ask, is sexism a legitimate problem of Halloween costumes? An article called “Is your dog’s Halloween costume sexist?” was published Thursday by the Washington Post, questioning whether canine costumes can be sexist. When I first read this article, I thought it was pure satire, and a funny read at that. But, unfortunately, that’s not the case. Of all the problems in this world, the Washington Post is choosing to write about gender-specific dog costumes. Bringing up sexism in regard to these costumes causes unnecessary controversy. This is a real article from one of the top newspapers in the nation discussing whether pet costumes are sexist. Yes, it’s as ridiculous as it sounds. This shows how soft our society
has become and how quick we blame little things on social issues. Our society is at the point where “sexist” Halloween costumes for pets is a newsworthy problem. If people are so upset there isn’t a feminine costume for their male dog, or vice versa, they should just buy the opposite gender costume and put it on their dog. Do you actually think people will take the time to check the gender of your dog, then judge you for it? If you want to dress your boy or girl dog in the opposite gender’s costume, then do it. Nobody cares. It’s a costume for a dog! We’re transferring our emotions to animals that can’t even understand them. The problem isn’t with the dog; it’s with the owner. The article says, “The glass ceiling appears to be firmly in place at PetSmart, where career costumes labeled “male” include firefighter and police officer, while female dogs can choose between a pink cowgirl costume
and pink loofah.” It makes it sound like choosing a career is a problem for a dog. They writer obviously has no clue what she’s saying when she talks about the glass ceiling. It makes no sense. Tell me, how is the glass ceiling firmly in place? Are dogs not able to get certain jobs because of their gender? Of course not. As it’s applied in the U.S. today, the glass ceiling refers to the barrier preventing the advancement of women and minorities in a profession. It’s unfortunate I have to explain this, but dogs don’t have jobs or careers. There is no glass ceiling for dogs. Dogs are not offended by these costumes. The article mentions a man who’s so frustrated by this perceived sexism he refuses to buy any costume from PetSmart labeled “male” or “female.” He says he’ll wait to

SLEZAK: College offers chance to grow, have fun
Riley Slezak dn staff columnist
College can be a confusing and stressful time for people. It’s a new world full of big decisions and a fresh set of challenges. But despite this, college is often said to be some of the best years of your life. Parties on the weekends, football games and new friends may be the things people think about when they think of why college is the best time of their life. While these are fun things and provide us with many memories that last much longer than our time on campus, they aren’t what really makes these years so special.
Leaving home for the first time, away from your parents and friends you’ve had for years, arriving to campus can be intimidated. This is your first test of college and it isn’t given in a classroom, but instead is a slap in the face of your new reality. Changes like these can be scary, but they’re also one of the things that makes college such a special time. For the first time it’s up to you to make sure your responsibilities are handled. You no longer have to be under your parents’ watchful eye and you’re free to make more of your own decisions than ever before. It’s in this drastic change that you can begin the process of introspection. You must look at yourself objectively when you realize all of the new tasks college presents you. For many people, this is the first time they must be real with themselves and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. College shows you what you need to improve on. Maybe you need to manage your time better or maybe you need to dedicate yourself to your studies more than you have before. Assessing your strengths and weaknesses starts the system of not only improvement
and change, but figuring out what you consider valuable. Being exposed to new people, places and things allows college students to expand their experiences and see things in a different light. Having to balance time shows students what’s really important to them. You may find out which hobbies are so important to you that you’ll make time for even though you’re swamped with school and work. You also learn what you want to hold on to, not just hobbies, but friendships, interests and even beliefs. The years someone spends at college can expose them to new and exciting experiences like meeting a new group of friends, gaining interest in a new hobby, joining a club or changing the ways they previously viewed certain aspects of life. New and diverse experiences can open up the doors to a better idea of your own values and world view. Expanding your prior beliefs through newly gained knowledge or fresh perspectives is yet another part of what makes the years people spend on a college campus so valuable and memorable. The years spent at college are the years that you’re forced to grow up the most, but
they’re also filled with so many new opportunities that you don’t feel as though you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. This limbo of feeling more freedom than you’ve felt before, while having to rapidly mature is what makes college so unique. It’s a feeling that is new and exciting, yet confronts you with reality. People may not think this would make the four or five years in college special, but to me it is the essence of what makes them some of the best years of your life. Sure going out on the weekends and to sporting events makes memories, but it’s what you find out about yourself through new experiences, people and responsibilities that makes college worth the stress. The process of improving on your weaknesses and figuring out your own values sets you up for success after college. College isn’t just a time to expand your scholastic knowledge and figure out your career path, it’s a part of your life’s journey of figuring out what makes you happy. What you get out of your time in col-

Huskers’ bye week comes in wake of recent injuries Becca Mann dn senior writer
It started during fall camp with a knee injury to left guard Jerald Foster that benched the projected starter before the season even began. Last week, it was starting right guard Tanner Farmer with a high-ankle sprain in NU’s road game at Northwestern. The game before that it was Brandon Reilly with a hamstring injury during a diving catch against Wyoming. Reilly sat out the Sept. 17 match up against Oregon, returning to the field for the first time last week against Northwestern.
This week, it was senior starters Cethan Carter and Jordan Westerkamp, both retreated to the locker room following injury and didn’t return to the field for the remainder of Saturday’s game. The past four weeks for Nebraska have been filled with on-field injuries and uncertainty when it comes to how long those players may be out. Saturday’s game raised the tally of injured starters to five in the fifth week of play. If it wasn’t clear before, it’s evident now, five straight weeks of play is weighing on a team desperate for a bye-week break. Carter made just one play for the Huskers before an injury in the fifth drive of the game forced him to the ground. The senior tight end was helped up and into the locker room
with an injury to his left elbow. Westerkamp was forced to the sidelines in the second quarter after grabbing at his right ankle following a tackle on the Illinois sideline. After consulting with a trainer, Westerkamp made it back to the field before another third-quarter hit forced him back to the sidelines, and this time, into the locker room on a cart. “It was tough, that’s one of my bestfriends,” said quarterback Tommy Armstrong. “It’s tough seeing him go down but I know he’s a warrior.” Nebraska coach Mike Riley said he is unsure the extent of the receiver’s injury or how long he is expected to be out. Westerkamp was taken to the hospital following the fourth
quarter but his status is currently unknown. “I want to think that,” Riley said when asked if he believed Westerkamp would be all right. “I just say that because I really don’t know any more than that. I shouldn’t say one more word than that.” In addition to Carter and Westerkamp’s injuries on Saturday, wide receiver Alonzo Moore, who has played the last two games with an injured shoulder, did not make an appearance. As of the fourth quarter on Saturday, starters Carter, Farmer, Moore and Westerkamp were out with various injuries. David Knevel was pulled from the game after some hard hits against Illinois’ Dawuane Smoot. Knevel has struggled with ankle injuries throughout the season and Riley said on Saturday he wasn’t willing to test it. “Well Knevel, we thought he was improving,” Riley said. “He has improved with his ankle all the time. It gets better and better each day but he struggles. When he was struggling, Cole [Conrad] has been practicing real well, so we didn’t hesitate to put him in.” While the injuries troubled the future of the starting line up, it also forced the rest of the offensive line to step up and fill the void. “I’m proud of the offensive line and how we stepped up with those guys going down,” senior I-Back Terrell Newby said. Newby carried 16 times for 113 yard in the fourth quarter, finishing with 27 carries for 140 yards in the game. His 63-yard fourth-quarter touchdown was Nebraska’s longest run from scrimmage this season and secured the Husker win. Newby was shouldering the load in the backfield after Devine Ozigbo left the game with an ankle sprain. Also ending the night with a touchdown, his first of this season and second of his career, was senior Trey Foster with a 6-yard reception late in the fourth quarter. With next week’s bye week, Newby said the team would focus on a variety of things, including an emphasis on getting healthy. Riley agreed. “Summarizing and looking at our team and watching that take place today, he said. “It appears to be a real good week for a bye-week.” SPORTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Nebraska continues fourth quarter heroics Michael Dixon DN SENIOR WRITER
Having struggled all afternoon, Terrell Newby broke through a tired, ragged Illinois defense and sprinted 63 yards for a gamesealing touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Newby hadn’t been great in the first three frames. It’d been a couple of yards here, and a few yards there. Really, only 113 yards and a pair of scores in the fourth quarter helped the senior I-back pad what had been a long and frustrating afternoon. But Newby’s day was only a microcosm for Nebraska as a whole, both on Saturday afternoon and in 2016 altogether; regardless of what’s happened in the first three quarters, the Huskers have been flat-out better than everyone else in the fourth. And now, they’re a perfect 5-0 heading into a bye week. After 45 minutes Saturday, NU found itself reeling against an Illinois team which lost by 25 to North Carolina and 24 to Western Michigan. The yards weren’t there, while the crucial turnovers had been. The Illini led by six, and a
pair of critical third-down penalties gave Nebraska an opportunity to extend the drive. That’s when NU flipped its switch, outscoring Illinois 21-0 in the final 15 minutes. Nebraska gained 149 yards, while the Illini managed just 18. The Huskers had 114 rushing yards, and Illinois had just one. With those 21 points, NU’s now outscored its opponents 78-6 in the fourth quarter. At a certain point, that develops into a team’s identity. Last year, the Huskers couldn’t find a way to win. This year, they’re finding every way to win. “I think that our team has made plays to win games,” coach Mike Riley said. “The fourth quarter is when you’re doing that, and I’m really, really proud of that.” It’s not something that happens by coincidence, either. Players who endured the pain of 2015 have channeled last year’s frustration into playing mistake-free football in the final quarter. “One of the things we focused on all off-

Buckeyes blemish Huskers’ perfect record Ross MilleR dn staff wRiteR
No. 1 Nebraska is not perfect, the Huskers 28-match winning streak came to a halt at the hands of No. 19 Ohio State. After being put to the test a week ago, the Huskers were in a similar position on Saturday night in Lincoln. The Buckeyes came to town with a chip on their shoulder, after having maybe the toughest start to the conference season out of anyone in the Big Ten. Ohio State traveled to Minnesota and Wisconsin last weekend before picking up their first conference win at home against Northwestern on Wednesday. On the flip side, NU came into the night undefeated in conference and on the year. To start the game, Nebraska had two service errors on its first two serves. Ohio State had one in its first two serves. After the rocky start, both teams settled in. OSU was up 12-11 early in the first, before the Huskers struck. They won six of the next seven points to take a 17-12 lead. Although up midway through the first set, the Huskers were out hitting the Buckeyes .438 to .077. Nebraska clawed their way to a first set
julian tirtadjaja | dn victory, having Mikaela Foecke, Kadie Rolfzen, and Andie Malloy all with three kills in the set. This first set loss did not phase Ohio State. The Buckeyes fired back, scrapping to win the next two sets.
Powered by the power duo of Luisa Schirmer and Taylor Sandbothe, the Buckeyes put themselves in a great position. In both the third and the fourth sets, Ohio State outhit Nebraska. Including an .536 at-
tacking percentage in the third set. As the match went to the fourth, Nebraska’s perfect season was on the line. It didn’t get started as any Husker fan would like. Head coach John Cook called two timeouts early on, as his Huskers were down 7-3 and 15-8 early. “At that point I was just trying to slow the game down,” Cook said. At one point, the crowd began a loud “Go Big Red!” chant that shook the Bob Devaney Sports Center and try to get the Huskers back into the contest. Nebraska didn’t respond well enough, as the Buckeyes gave Nebraska their first loss on the the year and in 343 days. “If you don’t come out and play Nebraska volleyball every night, you can get beat. It’s the Big Ten,” senior Kadie Rolfzen said. Ohio State took care of business in Lincoln though Saturday night, and that was that. Buckeye coach Geoff Carlson said after the game that he felt comfortable with the lead when it was 24-13 and no time before. Nebraska will host Indiana next Friday at 7pm at the Devaney Center.

FOURTH QUARTER: FROM PAGE 21 season was finishing,” safety Nate Gerry said. “Last year, we lost (plenty) of games in the fourth quarter, and it’s just one thing that we’ve been focusing on in practice. And I think so far, we’ve just done a great job in the fourth quarter.
COLLEGE SKI & BOARD WEEK
And a coaching staff which limped its way to 6-7 with a handful of brutal, final-minute losses last year has found a way to use the experience gained in 2015, and already match its regular season win total from a year ago. “I’m pleased with our ability to stay (in

the game), continue to play better, and make big plays to win the game. That’s great stuff,” Riley said. In the opening week, Nebraska outscored Fresno State by 22 in the fourth. The week after, the Huskers scored 28 on Wyoming in the final 15. And while NU only outscored Oregon by a point in the fourth, Tommy Armstrong found a seam on a 34-yard score late in the game and the Nebraska defense held firm to win. Last week, it was a harmless, scoreless final quarter. Things just seem to come together no matter what the issues have been in the first 45 minutes. “We just started to wear (the Illini) down,” Newby said. “We could see the defense getting tired. That’s where we’re (our best).” But nearly halfway through the year, Nebraska knows it has a long way to come. And if anything else, it’d be nice to turn that fourth quarter identity into an all-four-quarters identity. “It’s good to be a fourth quarter team,”
linebacker Dedrick Young said. “But we need to play like that through all four quarters, and not just go up, down, and up again in the fourth.” Gerry, a senior leader of the bunch, will say the same. “So far, I think we’ve done a great job in the fourth quarter. But we have got to put together a full game if we want to be an elite defensive group.” Still, Nebraska’s done what it has to do, and at 5-0 with a trip to Indiana followed by a visit from Purdue, regardless of what quarter the production comes in, the results are more than okay.

SLEZAK: FROM PAGE 19 lege shouldn’t just be wild stories from your weekends, or what you learn in your classes. It should be figuring out who you are and what will be important to you throughout your life. You learn who you can depend on as friends, how to improve your weaknesses and what you hope to achieve. It’s true that college is some of the best years of your life. It’s full of lessons and it’s
just the beginning of your life as an adult. These four or five years can be scary and stressful at times, but they should excite you too because it’s just the beginning of the rest of your life.

DONAHUE: FROM PAGE 19 purchase his costume until the sexism of PetSmart is gone. It’s odd these people go out of their way to shop for dog costumes, then get offended by this “sexism.” The idea of this “glass ceiling” ruining Halloween for pet owners everywhere is unbelievable. So, this year, if you’re someone who dresses your dog up for Halloween, dress him or her in whatever costume you want. If you have a female dog, and you want it to be dressed up as a cop, do it. Nobody will care. If you’re so fed up with PetSmart’s pet costumes, buy one from somewhere else or make it yourself. Don’t tell me the glass ceiling is in place for pets during Halloween. Don’t tell me your dog isn’t being treated
well enough because you’re offended by the options for a Halloween costume. In our hashtag activism world, anything can be labeled a potential societal problem, and almost anything can be protested. If you want to go out and protest for equal rights in a safe, intelligent manner, go for it. But the idea PetSmart is being sexist is ridiculous. So, this Halloween, enjoy the candy, the time with friends and family, the costumes and all the other great thing that come with Halloween. But don’t protest sexism toward dogs.
