LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Hi there,

A slip of crumpled paper sat near the front of a classroom in Doane College Sunday afternoon. I stood outside of the room looking at the woods beyond the window when applause erupted behind me. One of my friends opened the door and I walked to the front of the room.

“Now for our final speaker,” the judge announced to the room as I sat down at the chair adjacent to the slip of paper.

The room full of college students wearing business attire went silent as all eyes turned toward me.

“Whenever you are ready,” the judge said.

I flipped over the paper and the timer began.

“Thirty seconds used.”

I scribbled words on a small notecard: Immanuel Kant, Gollum.

“One minute.”

They continued: Journatic, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

“Minute thirty.”

I stood, centered myself in the room and started talking.

Seven minutes later, I’ve given an impromptu speech analyzing a quotation from “The Departed.”

I felt like I gave a good performance, but I didn’t have the chance to stay for awards.

I had to leave the tournament early to come back to the Daily Nebraskan.

As I write this, I’m still wearing the suit I put on at 5:20 this morning, and I’m less exhausted than I thought I would be.

But still, it’s probably unhealthy that I chose to sacrifice my weekend for competitive speech and then start a night job that requires a level of mental acuity.

Entering my fourth and final year of speech-ing and DN-ing, I’ve developed a rather intimate relationship with stress.

It lives with me and doesn’t pay rent. It lingers near the death of my phone battery and in the ache of my stomach because I forgot to eat breakfast.

Oops.

While my case is extreme, I know most college students share a similar struggle.

Class, work, clubs, Greek life, monetary and interpersonal problems all drag down

our otherwise grossly over-productive young bodies and can make us ill.

In this issue, you’ll have a chance to read about some of the spooky after-effects of being overstressed.

Don’t worry, we’ve reported on some ways to mitigate it.

If there’s anything college has taught me, it’s that sometimes the best stress prevention is to just “wing it.”

Like this letter you’re reading. I “wung” it.

Once you’ve accepted that, it’s easy to move forward.

Impromptu speaking probably isn’t the best example, but the only way success finds me, it seems, is when I stop worrying about the process and I just do.

NEWS Liver: Studies have shown much of the weight gain college students experience during their first year can be attributed to binge drinking. Lincoln’s reputation as a binge-drinking city does not help. A report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year ranked Lincoln as the 10th drunkest city in the U.S. The ranking reported 33.2 percent of Lincoln residents have a drinking problem, defined as either binge drinking or heavy drinking. But a Daily Nebraskan report from last year showed the binge drinking rate among UNL students had decreased by more than 20 percent, to 40.7 percent, between 1998 and 2012.

Genitals: AT UNL, most STI visits to the University Health Center are related to Chlamydia, an infection that has disproportionately affected Nebraska’s cities in recent years.

Douglas County sees 30 percent more yearly cases of chlamydia than the national average, according to the Assure Women’s Center.

The numbers in the National College Health Assessment varied slightly.

Genital warts/Human Papillomavirus was the most reported sexually transmitted infection in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s most recent assessment. In all, 1.2 percent of respondents said they had been diagnosed or treated for those conditions in the year leading up to the survey. Chlamydia, which affected 0.9 percent of respondents, was the second most reported infection.

Head: Stress and sleep deprivation are some of the most commonly reported health issues among UNL students. There is a correlation between both issues.

In a 2013 University Health Center survey, students said stress was the No. 1 factor interfering with their academic performance. The stress those students experience can lead to a host of other health problems: anxiety, sleep deprivation, poor eating habits and reduced immunity.

A lack of sleep can lead to reduced memory function, increased stress and depression.

Germs: The rapid spread of germs is inevitable on college campuses. Colleges are always more at risk for any widespread disease because of how concentrated campuses are, said Dr. James Guest, director of the University Health Center.

With thousands of students living in densely packed dorms and interacting in personal and classroom settings, campuses can become a breeding ground for disease. Some diseases, such as meningococcal disease, measles and mumps, pose a greater risk to college students, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“First-year college students living in residence halls are at slightly increased risk compared with other persons of the same age,” the CDC said of meningococcal disease.

Billington said he advises fellow students to make time for sleep and relaxation but not to turn it into a bad habit. His poor sleeping habits have led to other problems, he said.

“It certainly makes it more difficult to stay motivated and it probably limits the quality of output I could produce otherwise,” he said.

Other health issues on UNL campus are lack of exercise, too much alcohol consumption and infectious disease, Guest said.

More students, especially freshmen, were sick in August and September this year and last year compared to years past.

“They usually get used to each other ’s germs and things back off in October,” Guest said.

“Hopefully, we’ll get there.”

Guest said mononucleosis, or mono, is a popular diagnosis, though most students are diagnosed with a cough and sore throat. He advises students to avoid touching their faces, to frequently wash their hands and to use hand sanitizer, which he said is proven to rid germs unless visible dirt is on the hands.

“I would like individuals to focus in on the basics of getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, forming good relationships while you’re here, recognizing when stress is becoming a problem and learning how to cope with that,” Guest said.

He said good relationships can improve one’s health and college experience.

“In college, and in stress and in depression, if you have a core group of friends and a larger group beyond that, you are going to better,” Guest said. “You help support each other. Relationships are very important. That friendship will help you get through. Sometimes it’s just really good to know that you’re not the only one and to be able to vent.”

Guest said the health center heard mostly from “‘A’ and ‘B’ students” when conducting last year ’s survey. This year, he said the center is aiming to survey more ‘C’ and ‘D’ students in order to garner more all-encompassing feedback.

Overuse makes antibiotics ineffective, UHC says Superbugs threaten effectiveness of prescription antibiotics in combating bacterial infections KELLIE WASIKOWSKI DN Superbugs are making a comeback.

Antibiotic bacteria resistance, also known as superbugs, has become a pressing concern because it has decreased resistance to many bacterial infections. The formation of the resistance stems back to when antibiotics were being prescribed to combat bacterial viruses.

But because people don’t take the entire prescribed drug, the strain of virus began to mutate and combat the antibiotic. “(After) it has developed a resistance to antibiotics, it doesn’t act like the normal bacteria would,” said Terry Thomas, an advance practice registered nurse at the University Health Center. “And it’s harder to treat, so the infections tend to be worse and so do the outcomes for the patient.”

Superbugs commonly develop in hospital patients with fragile immune systems and then spread into the community. Thomas said methicillin-resistant staphylococcous aureus, also known as MRSA, is a resistant strain that was mostly present in hospitals in the early ‘90s, but after that it began to spread to the public.

There are two types of infections: viral and bacterial. About 80 percent of infections are viral, meaning they’re spread through a host. One difference between the two of them

CALLA KESSLER | DN

When people do not complete a full cycle of antibiotics, superbugs can develop.

Superbugs often develop in patients with fragile immune systems and then spread quickly into communities. is that viral infections can be prevented with vaccinations, while symptoms of bacterial infections can be treated directly.

“Bacteria are things that can be treated with antibiotics, and viruses many times are untreatable, or in certain cases, they can be controlled but not cured with an antiviral medication,” Thomas said. “An example of an incurable virus would be herpes. If you have herpes you will have it for the rest of

your life. We can give you an antiviral, but you’ll never be cured of it. What it does is decrease your viral levels and decrease its chance of coming back.”

With the rise of superbugs, there has been pressure from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to alleviate the amount of prescriptions that are written for bacterial infections. This is because prescriptions are becoming less effective in curing symptoms,

Thomas said.

In a recent study comparing the UHC to other Big Ten Conference health centers, UNL’s staff stood out when it came to prescribing antibiotics appropriately.

“We saw data just this week comparing our antibiotic prescribing compared to other schools in the Big Ten, and we were very good in not prescribing inappropriately,” Thomas said.

Thomas said it’s important to not selfdiagnose if an individual has an illness and listen to the medical providers judgment. She said often times individuals with illnesses will come into the health center and expect an antibiotic prescription, but they will be refused if it’s not something an antibiotic will treat.

“If you come in and have an upper respiratory infection, we shouldn’t give you an antibiotic because it’s not going to change the course of your illness at all,” Thomas said.

“So we try and treat the symptoms if we can’t treat the cause. But what you can do is take medications to treat the symptoms.”

A report released by the World Health Organization in 2014 said effective antibiotics have been an achievement of modern medicine, and that the rise of antibiotic bacteria resistance could threaten decades of medical progress. But the results of the report show that antibiotic resistance is a much larger problem in lesser developed parts of the world that are still in the process of creating clean water systems, facilities to treat infections and also administering vaccinations to reduce the need for antibiotics.

“Not every illness requires an antibiotic, and when it comes to using an antibiotic or not, it’s really important to rely on the medical providers’ judgment on it,” Thomas said.

For some students, busy schedules trump steady sleep KATIE KNIGHT DN It’s 1:48 a.m., and freshman biology major Hannah Seyller is finally heading to bed.

Her roommate has been asleep for hours, but Seyller has been working. After going to a pre-health club event, meeting with peers in the honors program and attending a sorority meeting, she had hours of English papers and chemistry worksheets to tackle. In her mind, completing homework and being involved in campus activities trumps getting enough sleep each night.

Seyller is far from being the only sleep-deprived student at the University of NebraskaLincoln. Dr. Bob Portnoy, head of the University Health Center’s Counseling and Psychological Services, said lack of sleep is one of the biggest problems facing UNL students.

According to an analysis performed by Bos-

ton College, American students suffer from lack of sleep more than those in any other countries worldwide. The U.S., along with Saudi Arabia and New Zealand, is home to those whose academic performance is most inhibited by the lack of sleep.

Many students, like Seyller, find themselves with schedules so rigorous that they’re forced to place sleep on the back burner. “(Sleep is actually) a very high on my priority list, which is the unfortunate part,” Seyller said. “I really do try to get sleep, I just don’t have a ton of time to.”

Portnoy said he acknowledges the benefits of being involved and maintaining grades.

However, he said he believes getting sleep will actually enhance students’ performances with those activities.

“Yes, there are not enough hours in the day, and therefore time management becomes critical,” Portnoy said. “And if you’re not starting to do homework until 12, 1, 2 in the morn-

ing, obviously that just doesn’t work. Something has to give. And my hope is that people wouldn’t choose to sacrifice sleep.”

Portnoy said in addition to physical sleepiness, there are other strong effects that sleep deprivation can have on the body.

“Learning and memory require sleep to be consolidated,” Portnoy said. “So if you don’t get good regular sleep, memory consolidation can suffer. So learning is affected, academic performance – (a lack of) sleep is connected to depression, to stress and anxiety.”

Freshman pre-veterinary medicine major Tommy Anderson said of all the side effects of sleep deprivation, anxiety is the one that takes the biggest toll on him.

“It is one reason I’d really like to get more sleep,” Anderson said. “I feel like I have a lot to do, and I feel like if I got more sleep I’d have more time to do that stuff because I’d feel more comfortable with deadlines and things that usually make my stress level go up.”

Sleep deprivation has long-term effects, too.

“If you have ongoing sleep deprivation, some of the long term effects are that it can significantly impact your health,” Portnoy said. “You can develop cardiac problems and any number of other problems related to that.

Sleep is restorative, and if we don’t get it then both our minds and bodies suffer.”

Portnoy advised college students to make sleeping well a priority.

“What I’m suggesting is that every once in a while (staying up late) is fine, but don’t make it a pattern,” Portnoy said. “The main thing that we really try to get students to focus on is that to the extent you can have balance... will create a healthy foundation both for learning and interpersonal relationships and pretty much everything students are here to accomplish.”

Infection can spread quickly on campus REECE RISTAU DN In recent weeks, concerns of outbreaks of Ebola or the enterovirus D68 have worried health care officials. But colleges are always more at risk for any widespread disease because of how concentrated campuses are, said Dr. James Guest, director of the University Health Center. With thousands of students living in densely packed dorms and interacting in personal and classroom settings, campuses can become a breeding ground for disease.

“Any time there is a concentration of people in a confined area, there is the greater possibility of transmitting illnesses,” Guest said.

At the beginning of fall semester, the University Health Center contacted University of Nebraska-Lincoln international students hailing from western Africa. The prospect of an Ebola outbreak in the United States is unlikely, physicians say, but health care officials on campus didn’t want to take any chances of it spreading to UNL. Those students were periodically monitored for 21 days – the longest incubation period for the virus – but showed no indication of the disease, Guest said.

Some diseases, such as meningococcal disease, measles and mumps, pose a greater risk to college students, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A stiff neck, fever, nausea and vomiting are all symptoms of meningococcal disease, which can be spread through saliva. Of meningococcal disease, the CDC said “first-year college students living in residence halls are at slightly increased risk compared with other persons of the same age.”

A vaccine is available, and if a student

received it prior to his or her 16th birthday, another vaccine is recommended before beginning college or as soon as possible.

Measles and mumps are in the same family of viruses but have some differences, namely that mumps can cause meningitis. Measles begins as a fever, cough and runny nose accompanied by a rash, while mumps cause glands below the ears to swell.

In 2006, a mumps outbreak in Iowa eventually spread to Nebraska, affecting hundreds.

Iowa’s numbers reached more than 700 people and Nebraska hit more than 100 cases, according to the Lincoln Journal Star.

Guest said the measles, mumps and rubella vaccination requires two doses for immunity: The first is typically given after a year of age.

For UNL students with neither, the minimum time between vaccinations is 28 days.

Guest said students in residence halls and Greek houses are especially at risk for some illnesses. His tips for staying healthy are mostly “common sense,” he said: - Wash your hands with soap multiple times during the day. This prevents germs from entering the mouth, nose or eyes.

- Don’t use dirty glasses in the Greek houses.

- Get adequate sleep. Guest said immune systems recharge overnight, so adequate rest decreases illnesses, decreases stress and helps balance hormones.

- Drink in moderation. Alcohol affects the way white blood cells migrate in the bloodstream, so not drinking while sick will speed up the recovery process.

- Eat well. College students often have atypical eating patterns, which can affect health and weight gain. Not eating for long periods of time and then eating a lot in a small amount of time is bad for overall health. Main-

CALLA KESSLER | DN

Disease can spread more easily on college campuses, where students live in close quarters with one another and congregate in large numbers in enclosed spaces. taining a consistent weight and fighting disease means eating regularly.

- Expose as few people as possible to a fever. If a fever is present, doctors say, stay in bed.

In terms of Ebola, it appears students have little to worry about.

“The main thing to remember is this is not

an airborne illness,” Guest said. “You have to come in contact with the bodily fluids of an individual who is symptomatic. I would say students on this campus at this time do not have to worry.”

The dreaded freshman 15: Fact or fiction?

Studies show first-time students won’t gain 15 pounds, but college lifestyle can still lead to extra pounds BAILEY SCHULZ DN Rumors about the freshman 15 might seem harder to shake than the weight itself.

But the first-year weight gain, a popular topic for Web guides and student rumination, may be more fiction than fact.

Researchers have conducted numerous studies on the freshman 15, and results have been across the board.

A 2009 Oregon State University study

found that students gain between 3 and 7 pounds during their first year of college.

A 2006 Rutgers University study of 67 students found they had gained an average of 7 pounds.

And an article in The Atlantic chronicling the origins of the freshman 15 myth found that 1,858 students followed in 14 different studies gained an average of 4.6 pounds during freshman year.

The studies do have one thing in common, other than debunking the common folklore: College students tend to gain some weight during their first year. Maybe it’s the yards of buffet lines, consistent all-nighters and alcohol-fueled festivities. Studies have found especially that the binge drinking associated with college life can contribute to weight gain.

Yet the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is regarded as one of the healthier universities in the United States. It made the No. 41 spot on Active Times’ 2014 list of fittest colleges and

placed 13th on the Princeton Review’s “jock schools” listing.

Kimberly Barrett, assistant director of campus recreation, said 80 percent of UNL students participate in sports and fitness activities in the Campus Recreation Center, where the daily number of visitors averages about 2,500 during the academic year.

The new Outdoor Adventures Center, which is available to all students, has rock climbing walls and a bike repair shop for those finishing a long day on Lincoln’s Salt Creek Valley trail, which runs through campus. And with about 30 sports clubs and more than 30 intramural sports per semester available, students are presented with fitness options that fit their personal interests.

Kylie Beck, a sophomore exercise science major and rec center regular, said she’s seen improvement in her overall fitness since enrolling in UNL. “My endurance and strength is better now that I’ve come here,” she said.

But Barrett said UNL may rise above other colleges in its fitness statistics.

“Over the last several years, I have seen a shift in the culture of UNL – one that is more focused on wellness for our students and employees,” she said. “I serve on several campus committees, and it is clear that a student’s personal wellness – not just their academic health – is important to UNL.” In the dining halls, most food is accompanied by a label including nutritional information and ingredients. Salad bars are open daily, and menus are available online if anyone would want to plan their meal ahead of time.

Additionally, there’s a nutrition services staff located in the rec center for those wanting assistance on general nutrition goals.

Sports nutrition and medical nutrition therapy are also available, and all for a significantly lower cost than what’s offered outside of campus.

Chlamydia continues to be campus problem TYLER WILLIAMS DN The numbers don’t tell the whole story.

Genital warts/Human Papillomavirus was the most reported sexually transmitted infection in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s most recent National College Health Assessment in 2012.

In all, 1.2 percent of respondents said they had been diagnosed or treated for those conditions in the year leading up to the survey. Chlamydia, which affected 0.9 percent of respondents, was the second most reported infection.

But the University Health Center reports that Chlamydia is the bigger problem at UNL. Most STI visits to the center are related to Chlamydia, an infection that has disproportionately affected Nebraska’s cities in recent years.

The rate of Chlamydia in Douglas County increased about 10 percent between 2011 and 2012, according to the Assure Women’s Center. Douglas County also sees 30 percent more yearly cases of chlamydia than the national average, according to data from the center.

Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that can cause severe permanent damage to reproductive organs. Women who contract Chlamydia may experience an abnormal vaginal discharge and a burning sensation during urination. Men with the disease may experience pain and swelling in one or both testicles, as well as a discharge from the penis and a burning sensation during urination.

“We have seen more of (Chlamydia), but I don’t know if that is because of more testing and education, or if there is an increase of the prevalence,” said Lisa Flider, a licensed practical nurse for Lincoln Family Planning.

At the health center, the second and third most common STI visits involve Genital warts/ HPV and herpes, respectively. The UHC’s numbers

Chlamydia is the most commonly reported STI at the University Health Center. In women, the infection can cause severe permanent damage to reproductive organs. But it often goes undetected until it’s too late.

are similar to other STI testing sites around Lincoln.

In the national health survey, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis B and C and HIV all had 0.2 percent of respondents claiming diagnoses or treatment within the last year. But the College Health Assessment is self-reporting, and not always the most accurate indicator of the prevalence of STIs in a population, doctors say.

The Centers for Disease Control and Preven-

tion said women who are younger than 26, and women older than 26 with multiple sex partners, should have annual Chlamydia examinations.

The CDC is more concerned with women because most don’t display symptoms until the disease has done serious damage. But men should follow the same guidelines, Flider said.

Chlamydia spreads so easily because so few

of those affected display symptoms.

“Chlamydia isn’t so much making a comeback as it is just hanging around,” said Jennifer Pearson, a registered nurse for the People’s City Mission. “As long as people are having unsafe sex, we’re going to have Chlamydia.”

Doctors say the infection can be easily treated and cured with a single dose of an antibiotic.

Sexually active students can take measures such as condom usage and regular testing to protect themselves.

“The only thing you need to be doing to be at risk is having sex,” Flider said.

UNL under investigation for potential Title IX violation DANIEL WHEATON DN Federal officials are investigating the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for not adequately responding to sexual assault claims, the Daily Nebraskan learned Friday.

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights is investigating if the university “failed to promptly and equitably respond to complaints, reports, and/or incidents of sexual harassment and sexual violence of which it had notice, and as a result, students were subjected

to a sexually hostile environment,” according to a member of the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights.

The complaint was made sometime in early May, an anonymous source said.

The Department of Education cannot disclose any case-specific facts about the investigation. When the investigation ends, the department will say if UNL has violated Title IX or not. The goal of the investigation is to ensure that UNL complied with federal law, which “demands that students are not denied the ability to participate fully in educational and other opportunities due to sex.”

As of Saturday, the university had yet to receive a formal complaint and therefore cannot comment on the matter, UNL spokesman Steve Smith said Friday night.

The OCR said 79 colleges and universities are under investigation for violating Title IX. The Daily Nebraskan reported last Wednesday that Lincoln Police are investigating a rape at the apartment of a former faculty member.

According to the initial police report, Lincoln police were called to an apartment complex located near the Capitol on May 8 at 4 a.m. The report states that a woman

was raped, but all information related to the suspect has been redacted. Lincoln Police aren’t releasing the suspect’s name, and the Daily Nebraskan has chosen not to publish the name of the faculty member, which was received through an anonymous tip.

Since the Daily Nebraskan broke the story on Sept. 24, UNL leaders have been largely silent on the issue until Chancellor Harvey Perlman and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Ellen Weissinger sent a letter to the editor on Wednesday.

A Nebraska-Lincoln vary from the traditional housing shortage similarly kept five floors of dorm to apartments and suite-style units more Cather Hall open last year.

“We have not at this point experienced a characteristic of urban living.

Of course, UNL Housing is not the only Some crave the independence of off-campus option for students. Apartment buildings abound living, but few would argue with the perks of in the area surrounding UNL city campus. Some, residing on campus.

“The biggest advantage is convenience,” such as downtown’s Parkhaus and the 50/50 said Jai Mediratta, a junior microbiology major, apartments, have opened in recent years.

“It is nice being able to walk to class and all who lived in University Suites last year and is moving into East Side Suites this year. “I the activities I am involved in and not worry about finding a parking spot since it is very hard don’t have to worry about cooking my meals, transporting myself to class, paying bills or to find a meter,” said Abby Petersen, a sophomore driving to a separate gym.

in our halls; we sponsor “study stops;” we have programs designed to help students grow in academic and social areas.”

Similar to UNL, other universities in the Big Ten have sought in recent years to diversify their housing options for students.

The University of Minnesota-Twin Cities campus offers five apartment-style dorms in addition to its nine traditional halls. Like at other Big Ten schools, traditional halls greatly outnumber apartment-style housing.

“I think many institutions are building suites to diversify the options they have on campus for students,” said Kathleen Fitzgerald, director of residence education for the University of Iowa.

Iowa offers three apartment-style dorms along with its 10 traditional dorms. “I do not think anything will ever totally replace the doubleloaded corridor as a traditional experience for students,” Fitzgerald said. “I think we will never totally go away from the traditional residence hall.”

Gildersleeve said the movement toward suite-style living shows no signs of stopping.

“The trend seems to be to try to give students options; many (universities) are replacing traditional beds with newer-style traditional halls, and some are adding suites, as we have done,” Gildersleeve said. “I believe the trend will continue, to strive to offer a variety of options so that we can help a student find the type of housing that fits their needs.”

Amenities abound for off-campus living options ANNIE BOHLING DN

The modern apartment building opened its doors in 2012, promising stellar views, rooftop greenspace and trendy IKEA furnishings. Two years after tenants flooded into the top three floors of the Larson Building, known as Parkhaus, suitestyle accommodations have become a staple of student living in downtown Lincoln.

The student-oriented residences have brought needed retail and enriched the downtown scene, in the eyes of some. In recent weeks, the influx of students has also spurred rumors of a new grocery store – the first for downtown.

Local authorities on housing see the contemporary student digs as a sign of things to come, with their proximity to local nightlife, spacious offerings and allowance of alcohol. Since Parkhaus opened, another suite-style student residence, the 50/50 Building, has cropped up at 18th and R streets. A third student residence of the type, The Latitude Building, is expected to open at the beginning of next school year.

“The suite-style option is the future for student living,” said Matt Knapp, the former president of the Residence Hall Association. “These companies know what college students want. They offer things like free internet, free cable, cleaning services, fitness centers … the list goes on and on.”

The Latitude Building, similar in many ways to Parkhaus, expands on the amenities offered to students living downtown. The Latitude Building in the block of 10th to 11th and M to N streets will hold 199 residential units, 346 parking stalls and retail space on the ground on the floor. It will also

have an outdoor swimming pool and hot tub on the second floor, a club and game room, a coffee lounge, a spa area and many other amenities. Knapp said the inclusion of so many amenities in modern student apartments borders on “ridiculous.”

Lincoln Urban Development Division Director David Landis estimates the complex will be open in August of next year, in time for the beginning of school. He said the student housing developers of the complex will be marketing to college students but likely will allow non-student residents.

The buzz about the Latitude Building is the possibility of a grocery store on the first floor, which would be the first for downtown.

“They would very much like to have a grocery store there and they’re looking to have a grocery store,” Landis said of the Chicago-based developers. “The question is whether there’s a grocer who wants to be located at that location. In fact, the redevelopment agreement we have with them is asking them to go search for one. So we want a grocery store downtown.”

Landis said his hope for the building is an “active edge,” meaning lots of glass, open space, retail operations and the attraction to pedestrians to keep walking and exploring the block. He said the goal is to have an “active, fun” block with lots to do.

Downtown Lincoln Association president Terry Uland said any more housing downtown comes as a positive addition for the city.

“Any time you have more and more residents, it makes the downtown more of a 24/7 environment and that’s very positive for the vibrancy of the downtown,” Uland said. “It certainly will help businesses. It’s just hard to say how much.

Especially the Latitude Building.”

Parkhaus property manager Brandi Rolfe said the majority of the tenants are students, but some young professionals make up the demographic as well.

“We cater to students, especially by the individual leasing,” Rolfe said. “We rent to any and everyone who wants to live here. But I’d say it’s the individual leasing and the roommate matching program that caters to the students the most. ”The individual leasing program means a tenant can break his or her lease without affecting the roommates. Parkhaus also offers a study room on every floor and free Wi-Fi in each suite.

Like many universities across the country, including UNL, Parkhaus utilizes roommate matching to ensure tenants will be compatible.

“Each tenant fills out a resident profile about their work habits, study habits, social habits,” Rolfe said. “It asks a variety of questions like if they are considered more on the clean or messy side, the outgoing or shy side. If they like them on paper, we go ahead and get them in contact with the person or group so they can meet and talk in person before making a decision.”

The 50/50 Building, which opened this month, also offers individual leasing, roommate matching, study rooms and a fitness center. The main difference is that The 50/50 leases furnished suites.

Knapp said UNL offers three on-campus living options –“traditional style” halls such as Abel, Sandoz and Pound; “suite-style” options such as University Suites and East Side Suites; and “apartment-style” options, such as The Courtyards and The Village.

If occupancy numbers are any indication, the off-campus buildings have been a hit with students.

Rolfe said Parkhaus is at 99 percent capacity.

Knapp said the appeal of the off-campus options to students has to do with the amenities, proximity to nightlife and another thing – the students’ ability to have alcohol.

“That’s a big draw for students since we have a dry campus,” Knapp said.

But students’ parents focus on other aspects of the downtown living experience, Knapp said.

“Parents find comfort in these new, safe and secure building for their kids,” Knapp said.

Knapp said downtown units can be pricier than shared houses in places such as the North Bottoms and the Near South, but he said the benefits of downtown living outweigh the costs.

“It’s definitely more expensive than getting a room in a big house with a bunch of people,” Knapp said. “I think some of these students ... are not necessarily aware of how much it is really costing them.”

There’s another downside of the suite-style option, Knapp said.

“You can tend to lose the strong social community around you,” he said. “The suites offer each person their own space and it’s easy to isolate yourself in that space.”

In short, housing officials said, off-campus suite-style student living is not going away.

“It seems like it’s getting the most attention and the most business,” Uland said. “It seems to be the way of the present and the way of the future.”

The Husker defense gave up some big plays, but the unit made timely stops to keep Nebraska in the game against Michigan State.

In the 27-22 win against Nebraska, the Spartans scored three touchdowns. All three touchdowns were by at least 31 yards. The rest of the time, when Michigan State was in the red zone, the Husker defense stopped the opposing offense in its tracks.

There were plenty of weapons on the Spartan offense who needed to be contained in the Saturday night matchup. The Huskers needed to limit junior quarterback Connor Cook, senior running back Jeremy Langford and senior wide receiver Tony Lippett.

Aside from the long touchdowns, the trio produced less than they could have.

Cook had his worst quarterback rating of the season against the Huskers. He completed a season-low 37.9 percent of his passes and threw an interception.

As for Jeremy Langford, the back who scored three touchdowns had one score in the game. Lippett played a larger role that night. He had three catches for 104 yards and a touchdown along with a 32-yard run on a double-reverse play.

The big plays hurt the Huskers, but when push came to shove on third down, the unit kept it together.

The Spartans extended the drive on third down only 4 of 16 of the conversions, giving the offense plenty of opportunities.

Nebraska defensive coordinator John Papuchis said he was disappointed after the loss, but the thirddown halts gave them something to build on.

“That was one of our bright spots,” Papuchis said.

“They did pretty well on third down. Last couple years that’s sort of been who we are, and I’m glad we went back to that.”

The defensive line was able to lead the stops, but Papuchis said it wasn’t an ideal game for the front four.

“We didn’t do a good job of pressuring the quarterback,” Papuchis said.

Sophomore defensive tackle Maliek Collins had one of the eight tackles for loss in the game, and even though the team made the stops, the result didn’t give them a positive outlook.

“Obviously, we didn’t do good enough,” Collins said. “We didn’t come out on top.”

Collins said the third down stops were good, but the comeback shouldn’t have been an obstacle for the team to overcome.

“We gave them a fight, but we shouldn’t have been in that situation in the first place,” Collins said.

One of the things that hurt the defense the most, aside from the big plays from Michigan State, was the lack of production on the offensive end, sophomore safety Nate Gerry said.

Gerry, who had seven tackles in the game, said the offense sets the tone, and the lack of points on the board made it tough for him to motivate the defense.

“It kind of killed the sideline, everybody involved,” Gerry said. “We tried to keep the players going and tried to keep the defense on their toes because it felt like it was going to go down to the end of the game, and it did.”

The Huskers will have two weeks to prepare for their next matchup against Northwestern, giving them plenty of time to fix things.

Michigan State was 4 for 16 on third down. The Spartans were forced to punt nine times against the Huskers. Nebraska’s rally in the fourth quarter was fueled by stops on third down. An “O” marks a third down conversion.

NU beats ranked Penn State, drops to Ohio State Vanessa Daves DN It was 25-12. No. 3 Penn State had just won the first set, and the No. 8 Nebraska volleyball team gathered at the bench.

“Well, the good news is the first set is over,” assistant coach Dani Busboom Kelly told them.

The coaches talked about what the Huskers could do better throughout the rest of the game.

They noted what went wrong: the undisciplined playing, the five aces that came from Penn State and the lack of defense.

Nebraska coach John Cook said he couldn’t believe what he’d been watching.

“I think they were embarrassed after that first game,” Cook said. “We couldn’t play any worse.

We only had one way to go.”

When the Huskers came back on the court for the second set, something just clicked.

They executed plays. Completed kills. Made passes.

“Our block started getting more disciplined, so we started slowing down their hitters,” Cook said.

“Our defense was hot.”

He saw senior setter Mary Pollmiller, sophomore libero Justine Wong-Orantes and outside hitters Amber Rolfzen and Annika Albrecht make strides to bring the team to a 3-1 victory, winning the last three sets 25-22, 25-20 and 25-23.

The comeback that led to their win left Cook asking, “What the heck do we have to do around here to get a court storm?”

A win against Ohio State on Saturday night might have been the ticket. But after Ohio State walked away with a 3-2 victory against Nebraska on Saturday, Cook’s hopes of a court storm were whisked away.

Like Cook has said time and time again, every night is a big night in the Big Ten Conference. Every match is a battle. Every win is a victory.

He told his team to take it match by match, point by point, play by play. Cook reminded them of that in the locker room on Friday night.

“You’ve got to have a short memory in this conference, win or lose,” Cook said.

Outside hitter Kadie Rolfzen said the team’s inability to have a short memory after Friday night’s match is what led to the team’s downfall on Saturday.

Goofy chatter in the locker room made her question the team’s focus at the start of the Ohio

State game on Saturday night.

“You have to focus on this game instead of the game that happened yesterday,” Kadie Rolfzen said. “I don’t think, going into the game, we were focused on Ohio State. I think we were focused on the fact that we beat Penn State.”

Because of that, Ohio State defeated Nebraska in a five-set match at home. In the fifth set, Nebraska was up 14-11, but Ohio State came back to win 16-14.

With one of the youngest teams in Nebraska history, Cook said he thinks the mental aspect of playing two Big Ten teams back-to-back isn’t as strong as it could be.

“Just because they have one win doesn’t mean they’ll get the other one against a team that’s not ranked,” Cook said.

It’s a hard lesson the team had to learn, he said.

Nebraska’s lack of mental game meant its physicality was off, too, Cook said. From serving to hitting, Cook said nothing was in sync the way it was on Friday night.

“Three outside hitters had a chance to step up, and nobody, when we got to 14 (points in the fifth set), could make a play,” Cook said. “We’ve got to have people to will those plays.”

Pollmiller said part of what contributed to the Huskers’ success against Penn State was their ability to stay together.

It was an idea the Huskers talked about a lot in China, and they were reminded of that after the first set on Friday night when they refocused their mental game.

“We make it about ourselves and stick together the entire time no matter who’s coming after us,” Pollmiller said. “We trusted that and did that. We stayed together and went after them together.”

Though he’s disappointed in the team’s inconsistency throughout the weekend, Cook said he thinks the Huskers will build off the progress they’ve made this weekend – or lack thereof.

“I think they understood, but they just didn’t have the willpower to win some of those games and make plays when we needed it,” Cook said.

“Now we’ll see how they come back from that. It’ll be no easier next weekend.”

Because, like he said, every night is a battle in the Big Ten. And next weekend, they’ll be facing Michigan State and Michigan. sports@ dailynebraskan.com

Nebraska goes 1-1 at Husker Fall Classic Staff Report DN The Nebraska softball team broke even at the Husker Fall Classic, scoring 36 runs in five games.

Nebraska opened Saturday with an 11-9 win against Colorado State and a loss to UNO, 1411. Finishing out the tournament, the Huskers defeated CSU 10-9 in their last at bat and lost again to UNO 6-4.

The Huskers scored 22 runs on day one of the Fall Classic at Bowlin Stadium.

In game one, Colorado State led 3-1 before the Huskers scored five of their own in the top of the fourth inning.

Sophomore Rachel Arthur had an RBI double, and junior Kiki Stokes had a sacrifice fly to give the Huskers a 6-3 lead.

Nebraska had its second five-run inning in the seventh.

Sophomore Kat Woolman started the scoring frenzy with a two-run single, and senior Steph Pasquale nailed the ball beyond the fence.

Her three-run homerun gave the Huskers an 11-3 lead.

Colorado State fought back, but it wasn’t enough.

The Rams scored six runs in their final at bat to make the final score 11-9.

In game two, Nebraska scored quickly in the top of the first to take a 2-0 lead against UNO. The Mavericks responded with four runs in the bottom of the first, UNO led 4-2.

They broadened their lead to 5-2 before Nebraska’s Stokes got a two-run double in the top of the third.

UNO wouldn’t cease fire. The Mavericks took an 8-6 lead in the bottom of the third.

In the last at bat of the game, down 14-6, the Huskers made vigorous attempts to come back and win the game.

Stokes’ sacrifice fly ball, senior Kylee Muir’s RBI single and a two-run double from senior Steph Pasquale pulled the Huskers within three runs but that’s as close as they could get. The Mavericks won the game 14-11.

On day two, the Huskers scored two runs in the last inning to lift the team 10-9 against Colorado State.

Immigrant finds community in US soccer Jack Grimse DN Nebraska senior intramural soccer player Senad Topalovic doesn’t remember much.

He just knows he and his family had to escape the 1992-1995 genocide in BosniaHerzegovina that resulted in more than 100,000 deaths.

As refugees, Senad and his family moved to Cologne, Germany, with the help of his uncle. “(My uncle) is the most selfless man I know,” Senad said.

In Germany, Senad lived with his brother and parents in an apartment complex that housed hundreds of refugee families, many from Bosnia. They lived in a two-room apartment. One room was a kitchen and living room and the other was a bedroom.

“I don’t remember much about it,” Senad said, “but I do remember having to go to the end of the hall to use the public bathroom.”

Senad does remember playing soccer.

“In Cologne, we played in the cages,” he said. “It’s a lot different to the game you see kids growing up playing here.”

Many cities in Europe lack the space to have full-size pitches, but fenced-in outdoor courts provide a place to play.

It didn’t matter what surface the pitch was. Grass, blacktop, court or dirt – it was all fun for Senad.

After seven years of small living quarters and learning to play soccer, Senad moved with his family to the U.S. Just four suitcases accompanied them in their move. One of the suitcases was lost on the trip.

“Starting over again was the biggest challenge,” Senad said.

Senad said leaving friends in Germany was hard, but the community wasn’t forgotten.

Now, in Lincoln, Senad and his family live in a house much bigger than their previous apartment. But no matter where in Lincoln they have lived, Senad has always had a Bosnian neighbor with kids his age.

“It was nice to have friends that were going through the same stages and who could speak my language,” Senad said.

Like his native language, Senad said his love for soccer wasn’t left behind in Europe.

He said he always played soccer after school in Lincoln. Even though he started to learn his third language at 8 years old, Senad said he didn’t have any problems communicating.

“At first I couldn’t speak English, so we communicated in the beautiful language of football,” he said.

But the accounting and German double major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is a quick learner.

The language and culture may have changed, but the sport remained the same.

“I started by playing Spirit Soccer at the Y and then played for three years as part of a church team,” he said.

Although he said he still enjoys the game, he misses everyone else loving it as much as he did.

“I miss the European culture the most,”

Morgan spiehs | dn

Senior Senad Topalovic left Bosnia-Herzegovina with his family when he was 18 months old. Now as a UNL student and Lincoln resident, Topalovic still loves to play intramural soccer, the sport he grew up with.

At first, I couldn’t speak English, so we communicated in the beautiful language of football.”

Senad Topalovic

senior intramural soccer player

he said. “Soccer is more than a sport, it’s a culture and a way a life that can unite the whole country.”

Senad’s favorite player and his inspiration is Edin Džeko – a free-scoring Manchester City forward and fellow Bosnian.

Even though Senad didn’t make it to the top level, he said he still values the time he can spend playing the game.

He said he loves intramural and pick-up soccer whenever he has time to play. Similar

to a lot of students who play, he likes the atmosphere of it.

“The fact that it’s purely for fun,” Senad said. “There is no pressure to perform. For the most part, people are pretty good about it, although there are always one or two teams who try too hard.”

Senad said he’d rather play pick-up and intramural soccer.

It isn’t totally organized. But it’s all about the spirit of the game, he said.

Senad goes back to Bosnia every few years during the summer to spend time with family members who still live there and to Germany, as well, to see his uncle.

“When I go back, it’s a mixture of emotions,” Senad said. “I am sad to see the country is still in bad shape. Houses are still ridden with bullet holes and houses lay abandoned, but I’m optimistic about the country’s future.”

Bosnia made its first World Cup appearance this past summer in Brazil but didn’t advance past the group stage.

Senad said the country is beginning to move forward from the past.

“I don’t expect everyone to know about the atrocities committed only 20 years ago, but I do hope that more people would be educated about what happened,” he said.

“It’s hard to care about what happens on the other side of the world when we don’t know about it.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com

Three returners lead NU in new season

Nebraska All-Americans return this season after making appearance at NCAA Tournament Kaylie Ericson DN The Nebraska rifle program may only have an eight-woman roster, but after finishing in fifth place at the NCAA Championships last spring, the roster now includes three NU shooters who were named to the collegiate All-American team in 2014.

Denise Martin, a junior business major from Washington, finished third in individual smallbore at the NCAA Championships as a sophomore. Martin has been shooting since she was 8 years old and said she values the life skills she has acquired through her participation in rifle programs.

The throw missed the catcher’s glove, hit the backstop and came back. The catcher lost sight of the ball as it rolled back to her. Stokes ran all the way home, and the Huskers won 10-9.

Nebraska produced 13 hits in its first game on Sunday.

Stokes went 3 for 4 with four RBIs. Muir finished 3 for 4 batting and junior Dawna Tyson added a pair of RBIs. In the final game of the Husker Fall Classic,

After not making the final cut on the Nebraska baseball team during the fall season, the now fifth-year seBaseball had always been Mike Siwa’s sport.

Siwa led the state with a .529 baseball though; he was just moving on. batting average and 55 RBI’s as a se“I had a couple opportunities to go nior. back and play baseball again, but I always wanted After high school, he decided to play baseball in Phoenix, Arizona at South Mountain Commu- to play at Nebraska,” Siwa said. “I dedicated myself to golf, so it was time to hang up the cleats com-

petitively.”

After baseball, Siwa, then a junior, began working with his swing coach, Mike Cornell from Champions Run Golf Course in Omaha.

“I asked him if I have what it takes to play golf at the collegiate level,” Siwa said. “I’ve always been able to hit the ball pretty far but never had the control or poise to shoot a good score.”

Siwa made the team and has since been a solid contributor for the Huskers largely because of his ability to hit the ball farther than anyone on the team.

“He hits the ball a long, long ways,” redshirt sophomore Nate Wong said. “He would take a swing with his 3-wood, and he would hit it farther than most of my shots with my driver. That’s really impressive.”

It’s not just his ability to drive the ball so well on the course that makes him a valuable asset to this team. It’s also his dedication and spirit, Wong said.

“He cares a lot about the younger guys,” Wong said. “He initiates the team chemistry, which means a lot since golf is such an individual sport.”

The team chemistry between baseball and golf is a bit different, but Siwa is trying to bring some of the atmosphere and leadership from the baseball

team over to the golf squad this year.

“With baseball, there is more of a team atmosphere in the locker room,” Siwa said. “On the golf team, we have great senior leadership this year.

Golf is more of an individual sport, so we are trying to focus on coming together as a team working toward a common goal, just like in baseball.”

Siwa has shown a lot of team spirit coming from baseball, but just as important as the team chemistry is the competitive nature he brings to the team, as he strives to get better constantly.

One way he strives to get better is by practicing a lot on his own, Wong said, who has noticed Siwa’s motivation on a consistent basis. Siwa has a membership at the Champion’s Run Golf Course in Omaha where he can practice on his own.

“I’ve always been really competitive,” Siwa said. “I want to help the team excel, and that comes from the internal drive to be the best you can be.”

Wong and the rest of his teammates can’t even notice anymore that he used to be a baseball player.

“You would have to learn from someone else that he was a baseball player because otherwise you couldn’t tell,” Wong said. “He doesn’t claim baseball anymore. Now, he’s a golfer.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com

NU club lacrosse overcomes struggles to play in fall season Chris Bowling DN Fall is an unusual time for the UNL lacrosse team, which has its regular season in the spring. The club held practices and meetings throughout the end of summer and beginning of fall to prepare for the Big Ten Conference lacrosse tournament in Chicago on Oct. 4 and 5.

These practices, which were high tempo, active and productive because of new coach Rob Mazanec, have also come with their fair share of difficulties.

Santo Marasco, president of the club, defenseman and senior economics and psychology major at UNL, saw the team itself as the biggest obstacle heading into the tournament.

“One of the challenges of entering a tournament during the fall is not everyone is mentally ready for lacrosse,” Marasco said. “Some pledge fraternities, freshmen are getting used to college life and other people have jobs. Every player must find their own intrinsic motivation for fall ball.”

Marasco also said injuries have been an obstacle with the loss of attackman Brett Wilms, who was out last year as well with a torn ACL, and midfielder Jamison Viera, who may be out all year after tearing his medial patellofemoral ligament. Attackmen Jake Belski is also out for good because he’s had too many concussions to continue playing.

“All of these boys contributed to our offense,and having them sit does us no good,” Marasco said.

Senior defenseman and treasurer of the club, Michael Killingsworth, approached the tournament by treating it the same as any regular season game.

“Relatively speaking, the Big Ten Tournament is not a huge deal,” Killingsworth said. “It is more for fun than anything. Now, that being said, we still want to do really well and show the rest of the Big Ten what we can do.”

Marasco said his goal for the team going into the tournament was to improve every game, watch other players, learn from their mistakes and stay mentally disciplined the entire game. Schools such as Minnesota, Purdue and Wisconsin made their pool one of the most challenging in the tournament so being able to handle and respond to that pressure is important for the team’s success.

“We have been on the cusp of much higher levels of success these past two years,” Marasco said. “If we can put together complete games and improve every single week/game, we have a very lofty ceiling.”

The tournament, which was hosted by the Great Lakes Lacrosse League, guaranteed participants at least three games. The Huskers played Wisconsin, Purdue and Iowa losing with scores of 0-6, 5-6 and 1-3, respectively. But while three losses might look bad on paper, Marasco said the team accomplished what it set out to do.

“It was cold, and we got beat up, but that’s the game,” Marasco said. “We were in every one until the end; they were all competitive. We improved every game, which was our goal as a team heading into the fall.”

Looking to the spring season, Killingsworth said the tournament helped him prepare by revealing his weaknesses. For the team, the greatest benefit from this past weekend was the bonding aspect.

“The team can really grow from this experience,” Killingsworth said. “This tournament serves the purpose of allowing our team the opportunity to really bond and become a team.”

Marasco also said one of his goals in realizing the team’s potential coming out of the Big Ten tournament and future fall tournaments is to bond.

“Fall road trips are always a great time for the team to develop chemistry, and I look for that to carry over in the spring,” Marasco said. “Teammates will develop on-field and off-field relationships with each other that will make them better.”

As for the Big Ten tournament though, Mar-

Nebraska men’s intramural lacrosse team has been gearing up for its first-ever fall season. Even with a few key players on the bench, club president Santo Marasco said the fall season will help the team in the spring and Big Ten tournament. asco said he still has some reservations about the game against Purdue, the reigning Great Rivers Lacrosse Conference champion. The Huskers led at halftime, but lost after Purdue put together a few good possessions to capture the win.

He said he can’t be too upset because the team still made memories together. In this case it came

in a picturesque possession from one of the poles.

“He ran down the field, spun and cranked some sweet chedd from the restraining line, he then celebrated with a shmoney dance proving just how versatile he is,” Marasco said. “#swagtrain2015” sports@ dailynebraskan.com
