REVIEW: WILLA S. CATHER DINING COMPLEX HOUSING LISTINGS

EDITOR’S LETTER

ISSUE N° 3 Hello reader, The best feeling in the world is feeling like you belong somewhere. It’s human nature to crave belonging, to feel like you have a home somewhere.

Almost every student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has stayed in one of the various residence halls, suites or student apartments. It’s part of the college experience, and it’s an integral part at that.

I look back on my first year in the residence halls as a learning experience. Despite having a friendly and enjoyable roommate, we still quibbled over noise levels, room temperatures and fridge space. At the end of the year, we moved out without saying goodbye and haven’t spoken since.

I continued to take advantage of university housing in my sophomore year by packing up kitchen supplies and moving into The Village. I’d agreed the semester before to room with three people I’d known from high school, but one of them ended up dropping in favor of living with his fraternity.

When next August rolled around, a complete stranger opened the apartment door and waved at me. Before I even got the chance to introduce myself, I met his mother. Before knowing anything about him, I knew he had epilepsy and I was receiving a short tutorial on how to handle someone going into seizures. I listened and nodded along.

“Don’t worry, I was a Boy Scout,” I assured her, thus sparing my new roommate the embarrassment of hearing his mother tell a complete stranger his weaknesses.

STAFF For the next year, I bothered him with endless questions about reporting. Everytime I screwed up or was unsure of something, he’d tell me about something similar he’d done and tell me not to worry. He didn’t know it, but he was a patient teacher who helped foster a passion I didn’t even know I had.

In less than a year of friendship, we started working alongside each other on stories. There’s no other friend in this world I’d rather have cover a tense antifa rally than my roommate. We put out work we were proud of and, eventually, we pushed each other to apply for editorial positions here at The Daily Nebraskan.

Flash forward another year, and we both got the jobs we applied for, and we’re practically inseparable.

I never realized it in those moments, but I wouldn’t be where I am today without university housing. At the heart of it all, going through the UNL housing system has brought me together with someone who I not only refer to as my friend, but my best friend. It’s given me a home in probably my favorite place in the world, as well as a sense of belonging.

North Bottoms isn’t rock bottom ALLY SARGUS STAFF WRITER For many students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the North Bottoms have become a notable landmark when it comes to college gamedays.

With houses lined along long, narrow lots, the area has become a prime spot for tailgating and student housing, yet many forget who came before them.

Virginia Fischer and her husband, Richard, have been married for 38 years, and for the entirety of those years, they have called the North Bottoms their home.

The North Bottoms neighborhood was settled by Germans from Russia in the early 1870s, giving it the name of the Russian Bottoms at first, according to the Nebraska State Historical Society. Richard Fischer’s family was one of many who immigrated to America in search of free land and jobs and — without knowing it — found a permanent home for generations to come.

Since living there, Virginia Fischer said she has not noticed any significant changes within the neighborhood since she moved in, despite the constant transition of student neighbors. Richard Fischer, however, has seen the neighborhood change over the last 70 years he’s lived in the house.

“When my husband was growing up here, you could practically eat off of the sidewalks,” Virginia Fischer said. “The families would use their wash water and they would sweep the front porches to wash them so everything was squeaky clean back then.”

For residents like Logan Eisenbarth, who lives across the street from the Fischers, the location of the neighborhood is ideal for work and gameday festivities. Eisenbarth met the couple shortly after he and some friends moved into the neighborhood.

and watching Husker fans go by, but the trash left behind has become a concern.

“It’s pretty wild down here, but it doesn’t bother us,” Virginia Fischer said. “We don’t care for when they drop their trash, but other than that it’s exciting.”

“I honestly don’t mind living next to an older couple,” Eisenbarth said. “I feel like there is a little more respect between us due to the fact that I try to show more respect toward my elders.”

According to Virginia Fischer, the partying used to be worse than it is now. Unless students get out of control, she and her husband tend to leave the parties be because they know how college kids are.

Although the North Bottoms is a neighborhood known for its tailgating and social gatherings, it has not been a disturbance for Virginia Fischer and her husband. In fact, they enjoy sitting on their porch

“Once in a while, there will be a really loud party late at night, and if it gets totally out of control, we’ll call it in,” Virginia Fischer said. “But for the most part, it doesn’t bother us. We did the same thing when we were kids.”

After moving in across from the couple, Eisenbarth and his friends were straightforward when informing them about potential parties at their new house, knowing it was respectful to ask.

“We asked them about parties, and they said they didn’t mind them as long as they didn’t get out of hand,” Eisenbarth said. “If they got big, the husband said to make sure we invite him over.”

As tailgate season continues, students who find themselves in the North Bottoms can improve the neighborhood for residents like the Fischers by not littering in the neighborhood.

keeping people out of the street and more in the house, it will keep a fun and safe environment,” Eisenbarth said.

During her 38 years as a North Bottoms resident, Virginia Fischer has found great appreciation for the neighborhood’s roots.

“I think students should realize that this neighborhood was a working class neighborhood that was very family oriented,” she said. “That’s what should be in every neighborhood. People should look out for each other.”

No place like home FarmHouse members await house reconstruction LIBBY SELINE STAFF WRITER Smoke drifts through the air Sept. 10 on Latitude Apartments’ patio. With a watermelon rind in one hand and a plate full of chips and a burger in the other, fraternity brothers sit in circles among each other and chat.

For them, this is home.

Members of FarmHouse fraternity no longer live in an exclusive house. They can’t walk into a brother’s room whenever they wish, and brothers don’t share a communal bathroom or eat three meals together every day.

“Latitude was the best one to serve us as far as places to meet,” FarmHouse President Jon Freese said. “The biggest thing with not living in the same house was proximity. That’s how you make a culture, just being around each other and having that time together.”

Due to the age and quality of their house, the members of FarmHouse decided to knock down the structure and rebuild it. The house was built in 1954, according to Freese, and although it had been renovated previously, the age and quality of the house did not meet the standards of the fraternity. “[It was torn down] partially to stay up in competition with some of the other fraternities, and we had a very old building, roughly 60 or 70 years old.” Freese said.

“A lot of things started to break down, and it was time to get a new one.”

According to Freese, the new chapter house will cost $6.5 million and will be built on the same plot of land as its old house. Chapter members moved into Latitude Apartments in Lincoln for the 2017-18 school year while their property is being rebuilt.

Latitude leasing manager Erica Fanelle said she has not heard complaints about FarmHouse. Senior economics major and Latitude resident Camille Sippel also does not see any problems with FarmHouse members living here.

“I don’t even realize that it’s different,” Sippel said.

“I don’t ever hear them or anything. They’re all pretty respectful guys; I don’t think it’s a problem.”

OCTOBER 2017

One of the concerns for the year for the fraternity brothers was how to maintain the relationships in FarmHouse.

“We do realize we have to make a sacrifice one year while we’re building a new house,” recruitment supervisor Jacob White said. “We don’t want to move back into the house next year and only have half the house know each other. We want to move in and not change anything that we do and have everybody on the same page.”

Although it is an adjustment not living in a house together, the culture of FarmHouse has stayed the same, according to White.

“Culture of the house hasn’t changed in my eyes so far, [and] I don’t foresee it being something that’s going to because it was a main concern for us,” White said. “It was a focus to make sure we don’t lose touch with one another because we do realize it is just one year. We can all make extra efforts and go out of our ways to meet one another. We’re all friends anyways so it isn’t too much of a burden to go hang out with someone who is in your chapter house.”

Members have made extra efforts to bond. They plan grill-outs in Latitude Apartments and have spontaneous lunches or basketball games.

Freshman Cooper Grabenstein said he has enjoyed his experience in FarmHouse and does not believe the living situation has affected his experience.

“It’s been really good,” Grabenstein said. “Obviously, it’s going to be a lot better next year just living in the house and everything, but it’s basically like any sorority — no freshman sorority members get to live in the house ... I’ve enjoyed my experience so far.”

FarmHouse believes it will continue to be a strong house on campus, and the living situation will not change the dynamic between its members.

“At the end of the day, a FarmHouse guy is going to be the type of guy who holds the door for you and always have a smile on his face and help you in anyway he can and just be the most polite, well-mannered, well-rounded individual he can be in all aspects of his life,” White said.

House mom finds home in ßΘπ GAYLE ROCZ STAFF WRITER Becoming a mother to 71 young men at age 55 is an idea most women would find impossible.

For Robin Schmid, this is not only a possibility but a reality.

Schmid is the house director of Beta Theta Pi, a fraternity located on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s City Campus.

Schmid said a transitional period in her life led her to apply for the position this past summer.

“I was looking for a place to live in downtown Lincoln, and I just couldn’t find anything I liked,” Schmid said.

Schmid said the advice Gannon provided her, combined with the warm welcome she received from the boys, helped calm any worries she had.

“I was impressed by these boys from the very start,” Schmid said.

Schmid said the role of house director is basically the glue holding everything together. She is responsible for corresponding with parents and making sure they are comfortable leaving their children behind.

“I think seeing me in the house and knowing that there is an adult present is a huge comfort to parents when they’re moving their kids in,” Schmid said.

Just as Schmid was coming up empty, a friend mentioned her son’s fraternity was looking for a house director.

She said she is also required to attend the house’s formal dinner every Monday, act as Beta Theta Pi’s keyholder and be available during the evenings for other things the members might need help with.

After applying in May, she said she went through the interview process and accepted the job in the beginning of July.

Beyond her basic duties, Schmid said she wants to be a mother figure, especially to the freshmen who are experiencing life away from home for the first time.

New to the position this year, Schmid said she had no previous experience with greek systems of any kind and wasn’t in a sorority when she was in college.

“I have an open door policy,” Schmid said, “meaning that my door is always open if any of the boys need to ask me something or talk about anything.”

“I didn’t even know sororities and fraternities had house mothers or fathers before accepting this job,” Schmid said. “Yet, here I am.”

As far as problems or concerns, Schmid said there aren’t many.

Because of her unfamiliarity, Schmid said she didn’t know what to expect from the position or the boys.

However, she said Beta Theta Pi’s previous house director, Josh Gannon, helped with the transition process by explaining her basic responsibilities, as well as some rituals and activities the members would engage in throughout the year.

“It seems everyone here takes what they’re doing very seriously,” Schmid said.

The boys’ behavior is generally good, Schmid said, and the older members do a great job of welcoming freshmen into the house.

She said the noise level can be an issue at times, but the boys are respectful whenever she asks them to quiet down. There is already a level of comfort she

said she feels with the boys that she hopes will grow as they all become more acquainted with each other.

“I think they enjoy having a woman here,” Schmid said. “Some might have been weary of it at first, but it seems like they are now embracing it.”

President of Beta Theta Pi’s executive board Sam Brower said he and the other members of his fraternity have enjoyed Schmid’s presence in the house.

Brower said he has experienced two male house directors, and he said welcoming a female to the role has changed the dynamic a bit.

“I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THESE BOYS FROM THE VERY START.”

“Our interactions are pretty informal because Robin [Schmid] is very laid back,” Brower said.

“But our members know how to treat her with respect.”

Brower said the role of a house director is vital to the overall experience of living in a fraternity, and that Schmid has executed her role well so far, based on the smooth process of moving in and the active communication she encourages.

18

OCTOBER 2017

“Choosing to serve in the role of house director is no small feat,” Brower said. “And it’s one that often goes unacknowledged.”

Schmid said she realizes the importance of her role and wants to make a positive impact in the boys’ lives.

Schmid also works full time as the manager of a dental office and teaches freelance yoga workshops on the side.

She said she hopes her various life experiences will act as a form of reference when the boys come to her for advice or help.

“I’ve done a lot in my 55 years,” Schmid said. “I feel that I have a lot of experience and wisdom I can impart upon them.”

After two months at Beta Theta Pi, Schmid said she can see herself being the house director for quite some time.

“I’m really comfortable here, and I love the boys,” Schmid said. “I don’t know if it’s like this at every fraternity, but I couldn’t ask for a better group of young men.”

DINING HALL REVIEW

I

had never eaten at a University of Nebraska-Lincoln dining hall until the fall of my senior year.

Traipsing in with my NCard in hand, I entered the Willa S. Cather Dining Complex, UNL’s newest dining hall.

I attended a different university my freshman year, which is why I never had access to the endless cornucopia of food in UNL’s dining halls. What better way to kick off my final semester of undergrad than finally experiencing, just once, what so many indulge in on a daily basis?

My hopes weren’t high as I had heard only negative things about this new dining complex, but I ventured in hungry as can be. To make things interesting, I decided to see just how many of the dining hall’s courses I could consume in one evening.

To kick things off, I headed to the pizza and pasta station, grabbing a slice of sausage and cheese pizza and serving myself a hearty scoop of rotini with red beef sauce. The noodles were a tiny bit overcooked and were not buttered, but with parmesan cheese and the sauce atop, it was not bad. I finished all the noodles and moved on to the pizza.

The thin slice reminded me of a good frozen pizza — and we’re not talking Jack’s or Tombstone. Was it a New York slice made by legendary pizzeria owner Dom DeMarco? No, but I would eat this pizza again.

For my second course, I wandered over to the World’s Fare section, which featured a build-yourown quesadilla station. I loaded mine up with fried potato rounds, ground beef, cheese, jalapeños, pico, guacamole and refried beans. I admit, I absolutely loved this. It was a mess, with refried beans and guac spilling out of every crevice and my face smothered with whatever ingredient the last bite encompassed. It wasn’t a pretty sight. I would not eat this quesadilla every day, seeing that my digestive system would dispute it if I did, but if it were 2 p.m. and I needed something greasy, I would kill for one.

My third course was rather unconventional. I visited the entrees and selected, of all things, tofu lo mein, baked apples and GFL mashed potatoes. GFL

stands for Good. Fresh. Local., a sustainable food project that began in September 2005. The goal of GFL is to promote the value of local food and educate students about sustainable agriculture, as well as serve traditional menu items.

The potatoes were good but could have used a little more butter, salt and pepper. The tofu lo mein was cold — whether this was how it was meant to be served is beyond me. I’m not a huge fan of cold tofu, and I do wish the lo mein had been spicy.

The baked apples were seasoned with just enough cinnamon that my sinuses stayed closed (thanks to allergies), and would have been excellent if served with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

The fourth course consisted of a trip to the soup and salad bar. Grabbing a bowl, I threw in spinach leaves, romaine and plenty of other veggies with a light sesame dressing. I did not enjoy the salad and did not finish it. The leaves were wilted and white, which is not the beautiful green color I expect my salads to be.

So I meandered to the desserts — my fifth and final course. I selected the sacred self-serve, soft-serve ice cream machine as my epilogue. I grabbed a tasteless, wafer-cake cone and pulled the lever of the beast, releasing a perfectly twisted cold concoction.

The ice cream had a buttermilk aftertaste and I reminisced eating similar ice cream cones as a child.

I did my time at one of UNL’s dining halls, and I don’t need to go again. Even the quesadilla, my favorite dish of the night, did not sweep me off my feet. If you are a freshman living away from your parents for the first time, excited to fill your face with as much fried food as possible, then I totally understand the dining hall’s appeal. I would, too. Buffets are fun and the dining hall’s food is filling, but I think I would get bored, despite the ever-changing menu. I’d say it’s worth one visit before graduation, just to say you’ve been.
