ecoming a U.S. citizen was just like doing well on a test for Harvey Liu, a junior forensic science major at the University of Nebraska-

Lincoln.

After about 17 years of working toward obtaining U.S. citizenship, Liu took the Oath of Allegiance on July 19 at the Lancaster County Court. As the national spotlight shines on immigration, his story is one shared by many. Liu was one of about 680,000 people who become naturalized U.S. citizens each year.

Originally from Hong Kong, Liu began his journey to U.S. citizenship by traveling to Guam for about four days every year from 1996 to 2009.

To become a naturalized citizen, you have to hold a green card for five years and live in the U.S. for 30 months before filing an application for citizenship.

Being a permanent resident allows you to work and stay in the U.S. and you have to renew it every ten years, Liu said.

“You have to present yourself on U.S. soil for a couple years in that ten year window,” he said.

In 2009, Liu went to live with his aunt and uncle in Philadelphia, where he attended his senior year of high school. After graduation, Liu came to UNL to study forensic science because it was one of the few universities that had a forensic science program he was interested in.

Liu said he hopes to have a career in law enforcement.

Liu sent his application to become a U.S. citizen in February. After filling out the eight- to 10-page application, Liu waited three months to set up his in-person interview on May 14.

Before going into his interview, Liu’s fingerprints and photos were taken at the Omaha Office of Homeland Security so the FBI could run a background check and review his application. “(Finishing your application) is a little bit relieving,” Liu said.

The interview has two different parts, an in-person interview and a civic test.

Before starting his interview Liu had to raise his hand and swear that he was not lying during his interview.

Liu said he was sitting at an office desk at Homeland Security at about 8:30 a.m. with a lot of sunlight and windows.

He felt a little bit nervous during the personal interview because they asked about six pages worth of questions from his application.

“You don’t want to answer the questions wrong because that would be lying,” Liu said.

Anything that goes wrong during the interview could prolong the process of getting your citizenship, Liu said.

The civics test is 10 questions long and you have to answer six correctly to pass, Liu said.

Proposed rating program could affect aid REECE RISTAU DN If President Barack Obama’s plan to establish a collegiate rating system to determine federal funding becomes a reality in 2015, Craig Munier says the University of Nebraska-Lincoln could see a pay day.

“UNL does an admirable job of providing affordable education to typical Nebraska families,” said Munier, director of UNL’s Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. “I think in most ways UNL would benefit from the ratings.”

Obama’s proposed rating system would be based on measures of access, affordability and student outcomes.

Essentially, UNL and schools around the country will need to keep costs low and graduation rates high in order to get the most money possible.

Obama outlined the plan in a tour of college campuses at the end of August. In speeches at the University at Buffalo, Binghamton University and Lackawanna College, he said schools that are not producing good results should stop being subsidized.

“College cost increases are quite complex and it remains to be seen how this program will keep costs down,” Munier said, “I do think most of us would be supportive of the whole idea of recognizing colleges who do a responsible job to serve students from low–income families.”

As for whether or not UNL would fare well in the program, Munier thinks it will be affected positively.

Munier said 25 percent of UNL’s

undergraduate students are eligible for Pell grants, and he’s satisfied with the percentage.

The federal government provides $150 billion each year for federal student aid, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. The goal of the rating system, as outlined by Obama and his supporters, including Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, is to reward the good schools and inspire others to step it up. The penalties and rewards will not begin until 2018.

Brendon Henning, a sophomore marketing major, said he doesn’t think the system is fair.

“It seems like the schools who are already well-off would get the most funding,” Henning said. “The students who go to the schools [that would rate high academically] are likely in better financial shape already.

It’s backwards.”

However, there is fear among skeptics of the plan that colleges will turn away at-risk students or lower their academic standards to receive more money, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. “(Lowering standards) has been posited as an unintended consequence and is something we need to be on guard against,” Munier said. He said he does not foresee UNL changing any of its policies.

The Obama administration has stated it will fight the risk of colleges turning away at-risk students by providing bonuses to colleges that graduate large numbers of Pell Grant recipients.

ABOUT OBAMA’S PLAN Q: What’s Obama’s rating system all about?

A: The plan is to assign public colleges a rating, based on things like average tuition, student graduation and debt rates and percentage of low-income students, and then award federal funding based on that rating. Schools with high ratings would receive more money, while schools with low ratings would receive less.

Q: Why does he want to do that?

A: The goal is to reward the colleges that are doing well and inspire others to shape up. Obama says it’s time to stop subsidizing low-achieving colleges.

Q: When will this happen?

A: Obama’s administration plans to begin rating schools by the 2015-2016 school year. Rewards and punishments won’t become a reality until 2018.

Q: How does the public feel about this plan?

A: Reactions are mixed. Some people agree that the rating system will encourage schools to perform well.

Others worry that a numerical rating system doesn’t accurately reflect a school’s performance and that it may over-reward high-performing schools that don’t need the money.

layla younis dn In an effort to connect more students with jobs and internships, the office of Career Services will begin reporting to the office of Academic Affairs, effective Monday.

Career Services used to report to Student Affairs, but Amy Goodburn, associate vice chancellor for Academic Affairs, said the new structure will allow the Career Services department to have more direct contact with individual colleges.

Student Affairs encompasses any resources that students might need outside of class, while Academic Affairs deals with classroom resources.

Bill Watts, director of Campus Advising Services and the College of Arts and Sciences’ assistant dean for student success, is now also director of Career Services. Career Services and the Explore Center will answer to Watts, which is under the office of Academic Affairs.

Watts said the structural changes aim to replicate the success of colleges that have offered career development resources, such as internships, for students.

The Colleges of Engineering, Business and Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources have already established career development resources, said Watts.

“A new reporting structure

will allow UNL to replicate and expand what we’ve already seen,” he said.

Goodburn said it was harder for students to get in contact with the office of Career Services while they were reporting to Student Affairs because Career Services did not have direct contact with colleges.

The ultimate reason for the changes is to provide career service resources to students while they are still in school and to help people understand “connections between academic knowledge you learn in class and what you might be doing when you graduate,” Goodburn said.

Goodburn said the retirement of Larry Routh, the former director of Career Services, allowed the university to implement this change, but it wasn’t the main reason.

Chris Timm, the associate director of Student Affairs, has been the interim director of Career Services since Routh’s retirement in 2012, but she’ll now go back to being the associate director of Career Services.

Timm said Student Affairs will continue working with Career Services and will have a closer relationship with Academic Affairs.

“We won’t stop collaboration with departments because we’ve changed,” Timm said. “We just do it in a different way.”

Watts said he doesn’t know if Career Services and the Explore Center will be combined.

“Whether Career Services and the Explore Center would be integrated, co-located or the services would stay put in their current locations will be determined as we more forward,” Watts said.

Amy Goodburn said students might see an increase in advisers within colleges if the colleges request help from Academic Affairs, but it is ultimately up to

We are trying to integrate career development and services with academic programs.”

Amy Goodburn associate vice chancellor for academic affairs

colleges to decide how to spend their resources and money.

Watts said all colleges have worked with Career Services before, but it will now be easier for colleges to have contact with the office of Career Services.

“We are trying to integrate career development and services with academic programs,” Goodburn said.

Goodburn said the university wants to see students who are working with career counselors from their freshman year until senior year, not just when they are looking for jobs.

“We want every student before they graduate to have contact with Career Services,” Goodburn said.

Goodburn said there is a national shift toward career counselors coordinating with academic advisers, which was outlined by President Barack Obama’s August speech on higher education.

Goodburn said the reporting change was not a result of Obama speech, but that the change shows “we are on the right path.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

miss america: from 1 she was moving on to the Miss America competition wasn’t a surprise to him.

“She is sort of amazing,” Buffum said. “She always knew she was going to be a success.”

Herd aided Kelly in getting ready for the competition.

Herd, founder of Evolve Enterprises and Miss Iowa 1992, began coaching in 2008. She said preparations are customized to the contestant in each category, including talent, interview, swimsuit and evening gown.

She oversees the wardrobe and builds a brand to market the contestant.

Herd said with Kelly, who was new to the competition, she wanted a powerful wardrobe, so her apparel includes lots of purples and peacock greens. Though Herd said Kelly is “blessed with a wonderful figure,” she set her up with a trainer for workouts.

Herd said the trainer called Kelly one of the hardest workers in the gym he’s ever had.

“She’s such a tenacious person,” Herd said.

Herd said some of Kelly’s friends encouraged her to compete for Miss Iowa in the first place. Kelly told her parents the competition wasn’t a big deal, but she went on to win, and something she thought wasn’t a big deal turned into a big change. Herd said because Kelly was new to the competition, it was fresh and exciting to work with her.

Kelly worked with the Nebraska Repertory Theatre when she was a student at UNL and was the regional recipient of the National Stage Management Fellowship and a Friedman Internship at the Manhattan Theatre Club in New York.

Kelly also interned at the Santa Fe Opera, was a finalist for the Glee Project and worked on the Broadway production of “An Enemy of the People.”

Paul Steger, director of the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film and executive director of the Nebraska Repertory Theatre, remembers his first encounter with Kelly.

“I saw her audition for the program and was struck by her honesty and presence,” Steger wrote via email. “Nikki took advantage of all the opportunities we have to offer here. She created opportunities for herself and other students to get involved, perform, create and ultimately support each other in their cre-

Herd said she had the most fun defining Kelly’s wardrobe and look. She said Kelly didn’t have much of a wardrobe to work with and that Kelly described herself as a poor college student, so Herd started from scratch. Herd said she is frugal and likes looking for sales, so she and Kelly had fun shopping to complete Kelly’s look.

Besides working on wardrobe, Herd said she worked with Kelly on developing her voice and message. Herd Skypes with Kelly once a week to work on communication and interviewing skills for the competition.

Herd said the competition isn’t about criticizing other contestants’ appearances, but rather is a journey for each contestant’s personal growth.

Herd, who is a beauty queen herself and has acted in various TV shows and movies, said the thing that keeps her going day and night is helping the contestants have no regrets and give their all in the competition.

“The personal growth that I experienced, I want people to experience,” Herd said. “Above all else, that’s the one thing that keeps me invigorated, is the growth of the contestant.” news@

Arboretum tours set for fall semester Colleen Fell DN It’s time for University of Nebraska-Lincoln students to stop and smell the roses.

On the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month until Nov. 5, UNL will offer tours through the Maxwell Arboretum beginning Tuesday at noon by the Karl Loerch Gazebo on East Campus. The arboretum offers different collections of plants including hostas, magnolias and crabapple trees, among others. The fall tours will showcase an array of native and exotic plants such as lateblooming perennials, grasses, fruit and nut trees and a variety of fall colors.

The arboretum was officially dedicated in 1969, named after Earl G. Maxwell, who was an extension forester at the university from 1934 until his retirement in 1954. Maxwell’s friends called him “a searcher for beauty.” Emily Levine, special projects research horticulturist with the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture at UNL, said the grounds today still reflect Maxwell’s idea of beauty.

Levine, who will guide the upcoming one-hour tours, said the purpose of the tours is to teach people how to look at plants.

“We see plants all the time, but we don’t really stop to look at them,” Levine said.

The green space will display everything from shrubbery to trees and scores of different varieties of lilacs. Levine, who worked as lead caretaker for the arboretum for seven years, said the efforts of multiple people allow the space to be successful.

“It’s a year-round job,” Levine said. “We usually have two fulltime employees and then other student employees. We take care of snow-removal, cutting everything back in the spring, watering, mowing and all those things.”

“When Emily leads, she’s very good about answering specific details about plants,” Bender said.

On average, the tour groups can range from about 15 to 20 people.

The Karl Loerch Gazebo is located off Holdrege Street and is one block east of the Dairy Store.

Fall tour dates include Sept.

10 and 24, Oct. 8 and 22, and Nov. 5. The tours are free and open to the public, but Levine said the event is especially beneficial for students.

A recent Lincoln Journal Star article said a call for more police officers in Lincoln has been proposed due to a concern of increased gang violence and crime because of population growth. The Lincoln Independent Business Association and the president of Lincoln’s police union are sparking conversation in the community about increasing officers before the next two-year budget. Lincoln’s averages 1.22 officers per 1,000 people, which is low compared to similar cities that average at 1.96 officers per 1,000 people. Cody Mach, president of LIBA, said with a growing population comes more crime. However, Lincoln’s violent crime and burglary rates are 40 percent below the national average, according to Mayor Chris Beutler in the article. Students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln weighed in on the situation.

“Personally, I don’t think there should be more.

I mean, our tax dollars go toward paying police officers and I think this is a safe campus. I haven’t seen anything bad going on and I don’t see a need to have an increase in police officers, even though our population’s going up.”

-Doug Tsoka

freshman business administration major

“Relative to other places I’ve lived, yes I feel pretty safe. However, I do think that since Lincoln is a refugee city, that means we have an influx of people who simply don’t have means, which generally correlates to a raising crime. ” -Helen

Pitts

senior mathematics and german major

“I think they’re doing a good job as it is and we don’t need more until the crime rate goes up, if it does. Hopefully, it doesn’t.”

big ten roundup University of Michigan lands historic $200 million donation

The owner of the Miami Dolphins football team recently donated $200 million to the University of Michigan, his alma mater. Stephen Ross’ donation is the biggest gift the university’s ever received and among the largest donations given to any university or college in the U.S. The funds will be evenly split between the Stephen M. Ross School of Business and UM’s athletic department. Ross’ donation total to UM is now more than $313 million. The school of business is already named for the NFL team owner, and now the athletic campus will be called the Stephen M. Ross Athletic Campus. The Ross School of Business may use the funding for new student study areas and more advanced technology in classrooms. The athletic campus plans to improve facilities to hold larger events at local, state, national and international levels.

NASA to educate Penn State students about rockets

Students at Pennsylvania State University will have the opportunity to work with NASA to test rockets. An agreement between Penn State’s Applied Research Laboratory and NASA’s Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center allows students to learn more about rocket performance and share their ideas with NASA. The space center will provide the liquid methane/liquid oxygen control rockets to be tested; the first of the engines already arrived.

The liquid methane/liquid oxygen rockets are said to be more environmentally friendly than traditional rocket fuels. More than 80 students in undergraduate and graduate programs will have the opportunity for hands-on experience with the rockets. Students will be working on testing the rockets for the next few months. After testing, Penn State will provide the information to NASA, which can then further improve engines.

Iowa’s dentistry college garners research award

The University of Iowa’s College of Dentistry received a $1.6 million award for research. The award from the federal National Institute for Dental and Craniofacial Research will go toward funding the dentistscientist training program. Areas of training include microbiology, biomaterials and tissue engineering, epidemiology, behavioral research, health policy, cariology and craniofacial biology. Because of this grant, the College of Dentistry can support graduate research training of a foreign dentist. Christopher Squier, director of the dentist-scientist training program and professor in the Department of Oral Pathology, Radiology and Medicine, said this ability is important because U.S. dental schools are increasingly getting faculty from abroad.

Purdue to expand engineering college

More details for Purdue University’s campus initiative were released on Monday. Purdue President Mitch Daniels proposed several goals to the University Senate that he hopes will provide more educational opportunities for students and broaden Purdue’s global impact. The university plans to expand its College of Engineering and increase faculty in the college despite declining engineering students. The College of Technology will soon be the Purdue Polytechnic Institute. The university hopes the change will speed innovation and make ideas a reality. Other Purdue initiatives aim to promote on-campus living, advance plant science research, strengthening computer science and to accelerate drug research and discovery. The university also wants to promote more international experiences for students, promote summer classes and overall enhance the value of a Purdue education.

research roundup Research has long shown that advertising, however subliminal, can affect a consumer’s purchasing power.

But what about a campaign that targets a behavior as addictive as smoking?

A study published by the Centers for Disease Control in The Lancet has shown that nearly 100,000 people have quit smoking after seeing the CDC’s advertising campaign, “Tips from Former Smokers.” A total 1.6 million Americans tried to quit smoking after watching the ads, the research said.

The campaign followed smokers that suffered from severe health problems because of smoking.

Perhaps the most effective ad is that of Terrie, 31-second account of Terrie’s daily routine starting with her top dentures, wig and hands-free voice device and a scarf to cover it.

“And now you’re ready for the day,” she tells viewers. Her video has 2.5 million views on YouTube.

The video was part of a $54 million threemonth campaign on billboards, print, radio and TV.

Researchers at Brigham Young University have found a direct relation between the amount of time people take to return text messages and the chance that they’re lying. BYU professor Dr. Tom Meservy identified that the longer a person takes to reply, the more likely he or she may be lying.

In the experiment, 100 students were asked to answer 30 questions and lie in half of their responses. Researchers found that students took 10 percent longer on responses with lies.

A study published by research partners at the University of Haifa and the U.S. Holocaust Museum indicates that male survivors of the Jewish Holocaust lived longer than men of the same age who escaped before the war.

The research, which surveyed 55,000 Polish Jews showed that survivors have lived close to 18 months longer than men that fled pre-war Europe for Israel.

Researcher Sagi-Schwartz attributed the lengthened lifespans to revitalization in the victims’ humanity, who he believes sought the happiness that was stolen from them during the war. Researchers remain puzzled that female survivors seem to live the same amount of time as their female peers.

Victoria University and the University of Queensland researchers conducted a study that indicates the longer a woman sits every day, the more likely she suffers from depression.

The researchers tracked about 9,000 women ages 50 to 55 on depressive symptoms and physical activity levels every three years. The study revealed that women who remained sitting for longer than seven hours per day were 47 percent more likely to be depressed than women who were more active and sat four hours or less a day.

Ninety-nine percent of women who didn’t exercise were also found to at greater risk for depression as compared to women who exercised 30 minutes per day regularly.

A study published in the National Academy of the Sciences has found that size matters when it comes to a male’s reproductive organs, but not in the way that you think.

Researchers found that men with smallersized testicles were more likely to be involved in their children’s lives. Seventy fathers from Atlanta, Ga. had their testicles measured. The men then looked at family photographs of their children while their brains were monitored. A questionnaire was also filled out about their involvement in their children’s lives. The results found the smaller the size, the more involved the father.

Obama’s collegiate rating system misses mark In an article in today’s news section, the director of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid said the university would fare well on President Barack Obama’s college-rating system.

If he’s right, UNL could see an increase in federal funding starting in 2018 because its graduation rates, student debt rates and admission of low-income students check off the right boxes on Obama’s plan.

If he’s wrong, federal funding would suffer — and the Daily Nebraskan Editorial Board fears he may be. Those who graduated from UNL in 2010 had an average of $16,664 in debt, according to the Project on Student Debt. The university’s six-year graduation rate is an embarrassing 64.6 percent, as of fall 2012. That’s a bit ahead of the national average of 63.2 percent, but the university isn’t excelling by any means.

What’s more, Obama’s plan smells suspiciously similar to former President George W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act — the criteria may be different, but the danger remains of leaving crucial funding for schools at the mercy of a handful of numbers and statistics that may mask the true performance level of an institution.

Graduation rates, debt rates and even enrollment of low-income students don’t define an institution. To be sure, they’re all important factors, but Obama’s plan to reward those schools that satisfy the platforms of his higher education agenda could hurt struggling schools that are performing poorly because of factors their leaders can’t control, like disadvantaged location and lack of resources. These low performing schools need federal funding to repair themselves simply to meet Obama’s standards.

Obama’s plan seems a well-intentioned attempt at higher education reform, but the carrot and stick approach could do more harm than good if the rating system isn’t determined carefully and mercifully.

Colleges can aid developing countries

T

en million people die each year from avoidable causes. Essential, life-saving medicines remain a luxury, out of the reach of a third of humanity.

In the past decade, a movement has started amongst universities to try to bridge some of this access gap by allowing generic drug companies to produce medicines in developing countries, where many can’t afford high-price, brand-name medications.

In 2001, Stavudine, an important AIDS drug, was priced at $1,600 in South Africa, a country with an average income of $9,400. Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) quickly realized that they would have trouble treating patients with so much money being unnecessarily spent on pills. So a now-nationwide student group, Universities Allied for Essential Medicines (UAEM), and MSF launched a damning PR campaign, culminating in an editorial in the New York Times about the Yale and Bristol-Meyers Squibb’s apparent greediness. A license was quickly granted to allow for generic production in South Africa, bringing the price of Stavudine down 96 percent to just $55 per patient. The potential PR effects would have been far more severe than to compete with generics in the sub-Saharan African market.

After Yale stopped demanding Stavudine royalties, Michael Merson, the dean of public health released a statement saying the change “was made at Yale without any negative consequences for the University – financial or otherwise.”

Additionally, the University of British Columbia, which has adopted global access principles, has seen only stability or increase in research funding from all sources, including industry. Yet despite the encouraging results from other universities, there would still be the chance that the University of NebraskaLincoln would take a small, but certainly negligible loss to its revenue. In such a case, one must ask what the role of a university ought to be in our society and proceed accordingly. If focus is put solely on scraping out every bit of

shariq khan

revenue possible, then the results will be predictably poor for social impact.

The number of patents held by universities like UNL and UNMC for biomedical research has surged nationwide since the 1980s. While industry still plays a large role in the initial research stages for many drugs, universities are quickly catching up. This means that universities, as non-profit institutions, have an increasingly large number of opportunities to negotiate with industry to ensure that drugs are reaching everyone, and not just the relatively well-off.

These negotiations come in the form of licensing deals. A license is basically permission granted from the university to a pharmaceutical company to use its research. The license can include any requirements that the parties agree to.

To deal with these complicated legal agreements, many universities have set up special offices to act as a liaison between the professors and industry. These “technology transfer offices” (TTOs) will market the professors’ research and negotiate with any industry partners that are interested in bringing the product to market. Generally, a company agrees to pay a royalty to the university for its use of the research, and in turn, a company is often given the exclusive right to use the research in its product.

However, this exclusivity often leads to years of extremely high prices while a pharmaceutical company tries to capitalize on its product and recoup costs from expensive clinical trials before its patent runs out. Without

this incentive, there would be little reason for industry to innovate, so maintaining profitability while caring for wider social concerns is a must.

One proposed mechanism is to include provisions in the license with the effect of allowing generic companies in lower income countries to produce the drug, as well. Incentives for industry may include reduced or absent royalties, while researchers would see a higher social impact of their research.

Competition and conventional market forces will drive the prices down, where they will be available to more people.

Yet for researchers, the importance of royalties can sometimes be overstated. Mindy Ware of UNMC’s TTO, UNeMed, said that “most of the researchers I know are actually driven by the opportunity to see their research (new drug, diagnostic or tool) make it to the market and have a positive impact on healthcare. We’ve actually had researchers refuse royalty payments and ask for the revenue to be put back into research here at UNMC.” For universities, the two possible sources of loss could be in the form of lost royalties and increased reluctance from industry to engage with TTOs that use this “global access licensing,” as it has been labeled, but experience has shown these fears to be misplaced.

It reveals something important about how our society functions when the “bottom line” means both “the primary or most important consideration” and “the net profit or loss.”

Any severely unprofitable change would be impossible to sustain in our economy, both for universities and for pharmaceutical companies.

The bottom line is that universities are in a unique position to dramatically improve the health of the poorest people of the world for little to no cost to itself or to its industry partners. And doing so would be relatively simple, if only the will can be found.

Disclosure of government wrongdotems that be. Cyberspace has created a level playing field for citizens to take on ing has also inspired nations around the

dave gottschalk world – who may not have the sort of influence as, say, the United States – to stand up to more powerful nations. Edward Snowden, a former employee in government-contracted Booze Allen and Hamilton, leaked an incredible amount of documents to major news outlets in an attempt to bring light to the surveillance state set up to protect us from terrorism. His story played out dramatically over several weeks with up to the minute news coverage on mainstream television networks.

It became known the U.S. was spying on its allies, giving us a modern sense for the paranoia of Stalin. From whistleblowers to hacktivists, the Internet is making checks on overzealous governments as easy as a Google search.

Governmental responses have sometimes been absurd or legally preposterous.

While certain leaders violently oppress journalists and Internet activists, some nations take a more bureaucratic approach.

No matter the response, these citizens for transparency are labeled as terrorists under the ambiguous language the war on terror has produced. Terms such as “cyber-terrorism” and “cyber security” are new to political rhetoric, but play an

increasing role in policy-making. The Internet is becoming less of a public sphere, and more of a military problem.

Yet the war isn’t being fought between flags. Revolutions in Egypt, Tunisia and Syria were driven by technological advancements in information sharing. Citizens were able to communicate and organize in cyberspace to protest intrusive governments. Around the world, people were able to share stories and videos of government repression. Hackers at Anonymous were able to infiltrate official Syrian websites to share images of the bloodshed.

The Chinese government is notorious for its great Internet firewall. Not only do they censor activists and information accessibility, but they also use cyberspace as a platform for propaganda. Governments around the world are learning from these tactics. Recently leaked documents have shed light on the Pentagon’s attempt to control public opinion through social media by way of computer users. It all sounds incredibly Orwellian, however, controlling the online marketplace of ideas is becoming the accepted policy. Under the guise of combating pornography and piracy, governments are seeking to control information and block websites. The hacktivists have taken notice. Last year after a federal takedown of online file-sharing site Megaupload, hackers were able to flood traffic to force the shutdown of numerous government websites. Both activists and governments are looking to find their positions for cyber battles in the 21st century. It’s a war of government censorship and control of public opinion against

idealistic privacy nerds and trolls.

It is inevitable that governments act on behalf of the elite class, the successful individuals that drive society. We fight wars for oil, degrade our environment for drilling, and risk public health for the profits of a few. It’s no secret the inequalities that persist between first and third world nations, rich and poor, immigrants and citizens continue to divide our society. These issues are framed and filtered through the powers that be, rather than for the collective good.

But power structures exist to be broken down, analyzed and eventually dissolved. Those who hold influence are becoming increasingly concentrated, and the masses are continually subverted for economic and political gains. Yet, hacktivists are leveling the playing field.

This is a good thing.

The ability to share information can – and has – enlightened the globe. It has ignited revolutions and called out superpowers. Government secrets can be an issue of national security, but they are increasingly being used to hide federal wrongdoing. Hackers and activists across the globe are collaborating in the most idealistic fashion to ensure that governments are checked by the people. It’s fitting then, to end with a quote from one of our Founding Fathers, “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.”

DN’s guide to thrift shopping at Lincoln Goodwill stores

hunting story by Madeline Christensen | art by Mike Rendowski

S

o you’re a broke college student in need of many student loans to pay for a quality education. However, no amount of intellectual stimulation could ever take the place of your endless need for useless shit. Lucky for you, Macklemore says it’s cool to buy things second-hand now, and also lucky for you, Lincoln has five Goodwill locations for you to choose from.

But which one is worthy of tag-popping? Here’s the lowdown for your own Goodwill Hunting, sans Robin Williams:

Downtown:

Pros: It’s convenient. You can walk there from campus. Not to mention, it’s among other downtown businesses, so you can grab some food, buy an ugly lamp and hit the bars all in one fell swoop.

Cons: It’s usually the busiest, and it’s not very big. Come prepared to fend for yourself.

Characters: The occasional seedy old man who approaches the counter where they keep all the “mature” Goodwill finds, among other collectibles.

Find: A beautiful print of two toads happily in love on a lily pad. Such detail! I can’t get over the fact that someone actually got rid of it.

North 27th Street:

Pros: A fulfilling experience, plenty of people watching and a decent selection of stuff.

Cons: Probably the least organized store and

bottom of the Goodwill hierarchy. But this doesn’t mean it’s not fun.

Characters: An old woman who you might think is talking to herself until you realize she’s asking you to try on something in place of her 13-yearold granddaughter — and what a cute appliqued sweater it was. Also, a man asleep on one of the couches who looked like he knew how to do things right. And another guy chilling in an armchair concentrating extremely hard on writing a… diary entry? Fanfiction? The next great American novel? It’s hard to say.

Find: A Happy Bunny backpack with interchangeable preteen quotes, like “I just threw up in my mouth a little bit,” and other cute things. In other words, my 2004 siren call.

Vine Street:

Pros: Straight up LUXURY. We’re talking dressing rooms, a huge selection and Macklemore hiding in the racks, probably. Seriously, if you’re looking for furniture or a rug, this is your go-to Goodwill.

Cons: Very friendly staff. Almost too friendly, like they had a hidden agenda or something. It made me uncomfortable, but it was also kind of nice.

Characters: A totally punk boy in a Ouija Board shirt who was apathetically looking at the sweaters. Oh wait, I mean my SOULMATE. Find: A bitchin’ vintage school desk that no one has a place for.

17th and Sumner streets:

Pros: A classy storefront and commendable selection. There’s some pretty OK furniture here, too. This one also has dressing rooms and some super sales.

Cons: A weird smell. Like tropical Febreeze attempting to cover up a blatant sweaty armpit scent. It wasn’t terrible but it’s like, it didn’t make me hungry, either.

Characters: A hip girl who knew what tags she was poppin’. She probably effortlessly pulls off overalls and like, sombreros before Urban Outfitters starts selling them.

Find: A 1985 “Trouble in Mind” movie poster.

Kris Kristofferson, anyone?

Edgewood:

Pros: A very well organized store, this little gem is perfect for a little this-and-that. A whole wall of ceramic figurines, mugs and failed craft projects are color organized, so you can find the perfect blue Precious Moments saltshaker easily and efficiently.

Cons: It’s pretty cramped, and the smell of your musty velvet holiday dress from 1998 lingers in the air. And there’s a whole shelf of half-used lotion, which seems not right.

Characters: A woman tearing through the Halloween decorations so fiercely she keeps dropping her purse.

Find: A ceramic toilet figurine covered in roses with a pink candle in the toilet bowl. Inscribed in cursive is “everything’s coming up roses.” OK. arts@ dailynebraskan.

on the fast

track Star City BMX is place for everyone to participate s t o r y b y Yu l i y a P e t r o v a | p h o t o s b y A l l i s o n H e s s

Neil Arbogast performs a BMX trick Sunday afternoon at the Star City BMX track. Arbogast, along with others, competes in races that occur every Sunday afternoon near downtown.

S

ome people throw the ball and some ride the track.

The track, a winding strip of modeled dirt with banks, ramps and moguls, sits along Charleston Street, just south of Oak Lake and within sight of Salt Dog Stadium. The sport is bicycle motor-cross, and on this stretch of earth, Star City BMX hosts its weekly races for Nebraska’s young and old alike.

Each Sunday, 50 to 60 racers participate at the Star City track.

One of the riders out on last Sunday was 14-year-old Ryan Ehlers of Lincoln. Ehlers has rode BMX since he was 5 years old - as soon as he was old enough to ride a bike.

“My dad wanted me to check out the track as soon as I got my training wheels off,” Ehlers said. “He said if I can go 10 times around the

track on my own, then I was able to race.”

While Ehlers began riding at a young age, this is not the case for every rider.

“You’re never too young or too old to start racing,” said Mary Rice, treasurer of Star City BMX and a rider of two-and-a-half years herself. A tattoo on her left wrist reads, “BMX” in bold.

Of the many that race every Sunday on the Star City track, racers’ ages range from 4 to 44.

One of the beginning riders, 13-year-old Dylan Hartshorn started racing just this year.

Dylan said he enjoys being with his friends on the track and learning new techniques, such as the ones taught by Josh Larson, track operator.

Before the races commence on Sunday, Larson coaches riders on a variety of racing maneuvers that the track will demand of them.

Competitors leave the starting line at the Star City BMX track Sunday afternoon. Star City BMX offers the opportunity for competitors of various levels of difficulty to race and compete in the Lincoln area.

Dylan Hartshorn and Cameron McManaman (left to right) compete Sunday afternoon at the Star City BMX track. Hartshorn, 13, began racing this year.

He teaches methods for taking on the banking turns and clearing jumps, so that beginners can race with more confidence.

The universal philosophy at the Star City races is that everyone who participates supports one another.

“Everybody out here is so friendly and helpful,” said Kerry Hartshorn, Dylan’s mother. “We came out not knowing what we needed or anything, and Mary got us going.”

What Hartshorn enjoys the most is the people who come to these races cheer for both their children and even those they’re competing against too.

“It’s such a friendly bunch of families that want to help each other,” Hartshorn said. “If somebody’s bike breaks down, there’s always someone here with a part ready and willing to help fix it.”

Along with their parents, the young riders feel

the same positive energy amongst each other, Ryan said. Not only do the other racers make it fun to be at the track every Sunday, but BMX itself creates a different environment compared with other sports.

“We have a motto; ‘Nobody rides the bench,’” Ryan said. “Playing other sports, sometimes you end up sitting on the bench and not playing; where in this sport everyone is participating.”

While the weekly Sunday races run from April to November this year, special tournaments and events like the summer State Championship, Race for Life and the October Trunk or Treat have and continue to offer spectacles and opportunities for giving back.

Winning is not everything, Rice said.

“Losing is a really important life lesson,” Rice said. “When they figure out how to deal with losing, it makes them a better person and a better rider.” arts@ dailynebraskan.com

Fall TV premieres provide entertainment for whole family “Bones”

FOX Mondays 7 p.m. CST Season eight ended in typical television drama fashion with the classic “will they or won’t they” scenario involving Brennan proposing to Booth.

To add to the intensity, the engagement was called off by Booth in order to save the lives of five people. This, of course,

was kept entirely from Brennan, so as season eight ended, season nine has plenty of meat (pun intended) to work with. It is safe to say that the new season will have to address the situation involving Pelant’s ultimatum of Booth ending the engagement with Brennan or else innocent people are killed. And like many series involving crazed serial killers, it isn’t too much to assume that Pelant could face his own end before the season ends.

“Homeland”

Showtime Sundays 8 p.m. CST

The multiple Emmy-winning series has amassed a large following in its short time on air, and if the trend continues, “Homeland” could become the “Game of Thrones” for Showtime.

The entire series is built upon secrets and terrorism, so the writers are guaranteed to have some huge cliffhangers and new terrorists to find. The real question on the minds of the show’s fans though is one that won’t and shouldn’t become entirely clear until the last episode of the entire series, which is: will the “turning” of Brody ever not be questioned?

& Roberts, who wreaks havoc on the advertising industry in true comedic fashion. His ridiculous antics are countered by his daughter, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, who fights to keep her head in the crazy world of advertising. With costars James Wolk, Hamish Linklater and Amanda Setton, CBS really hit the bull’s-eye for this sitcom, even if you do watch it only for Williams’ fast-talking and eccentric dancing. new fall reality series starring small town Texan prosecutor Kelly Siegler and Los Angeles crime scene investigator Yoland McClary. The show follows the “Rizzoli & Isles”-esque duo of as they work to close unsolved small town murders. Hopefully the real-life aspect of the show will prevent it from joining TNT’s knack for airing intriguing but ultimately disappointing detective shows.

NBC Thursdays 7 p.m. CST Season five of this “The Office”-esque comedy held more than just laughs for viewers.

It wouldn’t be too overzealous to believe that their leaving Pawnee on the show will be caused by the beginning of their family. “Parks and Rec” season six can and will try to best its previous season, but only time will tell if the new season is only the beginning of the end.

Upon downloading the 99 cent game, users are greeted with a convenient video tutorial starring America’s favorite dancing talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres.

Essentially, users pick a category and are given a countdown until the round begins. Once the countdown is over, the pandemonium begins. Teammates shout and act out clues for the player without actually saying the word on the

screen. And the best part, whether they know it or not, is that the teammates shouting clues are being filmed through the whole 60-second round. The video can then be saved and shared — there’s even a direct link to send the video to DeGeneres herself.

While “Heads Up!” is a fairly simple game, there is a slight complexity to having to remember that whatever device the game is being played on has to be tipped down to indicate a correct guess and tipped up to pass on the word. (To be fair, it’s easier to do than it is to write.) All in all, the game is an inexpensive way to bond with those playing. It’s cheap, simple and most impor-

dn Big ten homeroom 1. Ohio State (2-0 Overall, 0-0 Big Ten)

The first quarter of Ohio State’s game against San Diego State was a scary one for Buckeye fans after Braxton Miller was carted off the field with an MCL sprain that forced him to stay out for the rest of the game. Although the dual-threat quarterback was out for most of the contest, the Buckeyes still defeated the Aztecs 42-7, and Miller will be back in the huddle Saturday night when No. 3 Ohio State goes on the road to face its toughest non-conference opponent, California.

2. Michigan (2-0, 0-0)

The Wolverines needed Devin Gardner to take control Saturday night against Notre Dame, and that’s just what he did. Aside from the interception thrown while he was in his own end zone, Gardner was on top of his game. He had 294 yards passing with four touchdowns, while also rushing for 82 yards and a touchdown to give No. 12 Michigan a 41-30 victory over the No. 21 Fighting Irish.

3. Northwestern (2-0, 0-0)

With how things are looking right now for the No. 16 Wildcats, they should be undefeated heading into a much-anticipated matchup with Ohio State. Right now the offense can do no wrong, with quarterbacks Kain Colter and Trevor Siemian splitting time. The duo combined for more than 350 passing yards, along with four passing touchdowns in their win against Syracuse.

4. Nebraska (2-0, 0-0)

Saturday against Southern Miss, the No. 15 Huskers eased some of the doubts that people had about the defense after both Stanley Jean-Baptiste and Ciante Evans returned interceptions for touchdowns. Also putting on the pressure on the defensive line was Randy Gregory. Nebraska looked good against Southern Miss, but if they want to beat UCLA Saturday morning, the Huskers need to apply the pressure early and get on the board early just like they did last weekend.

5. Wisconsin (2-0, 0-0)

So far, Wisconsin has not allowed a single point after shutting out Massachusetts and Tennessee Tech, but what is even more impressive is the Badgers running game. Last year, fans saw glimpses of sophomore Melvin Gordon’s talent, and this year they are already seeing what freshman Corey Clement can do. Clement has 250 yards rushing and three rushing touchdowns, which currently leads the team. With three running backs averaging more than 100 yards per game, the Badgers should not have any trouble this week against their toughest opponent so far, Arizona State, but look for them to allow their first score of the season on Saturday.

6. Penn State (2-0, 0-0)

After having some early game jitters, the Nittany Lions scored 45 unanswered points against Eastern Michigan in a 45-7 win. True freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg threw for 311 yards passing in his first game at Beaver Stadium. So far, coach Bill O’ Brien has reversed the start he had last year in his first year, when the Nittany Lions started 0-2. For Penn State to continue success, they must still rely on their young passer.

7. Illinois (2-0, 0-0)

Out of all the teams in the Big Ten, it has been the Fighting Illini who have silenced the most doubters. After a surprise 45-17 victory over Cincinnati, Illinois is sitting just outside of the top 25, and although the team made a huge climb, the Illini are yet again the underdog this week when against No. 23 Washington. For Illinois to win, they must rely on quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase to have another great outing.

8. Michigan State (2-0, 0-0)

9. Minnesota (2-0, 0-0)

The Gophers are having another great start under coach Jerry Kill, who led the team to a 4-0 start last season before finishing 6-7, and with the way things are looking right now, the team shouldn’t have any trouble going undefeated in non-conference play.

10. Indiana (1-1, 0-0)

Coach Kevin Wilson and Indiana knew that they had a big test in Navy last weekend, and despite putting up more than 500 total yards of offense and getting a late push in the fourth quarter, they suffered their first loss of the season against the Midshipmen. The Hoosiers will attempt to regain a winning record this week against Bowling Green.

11. Iowa (1-1, 0-0)

Although the Hawkeyes only beat FCS opponent Missouri State 28-14, they need to put that result aside and focus on what is at hand this week in the annual Iowa-Iowa State rivalry game. It is usually the game that shows what kind of team Kirk Ferentz has each season.

12. Purdue (1-1, 0-0)

Just like Iowa, the Boilermakers were not the most impressive against an FCS school, only beating Indiana State 20-14. This week, Purdue will face a Notre Dame team that is out for vengeance after what Michigan did last weekend.

There is no doubt about Michigan State’s strength on defense, and the Spartans may be undefeated so far on the season. But after putting up only 21 points against South Florida, a team that allowed 53 points from FCS opponent McNeese State the previous week, there is plenty of concern for the Michigan State offense that used three quarterbacks Saturday.

lege, was unable to participate in the beginning of summer camp, and he has been playing catch-up since he came to Lincoln.

But that is not stopping Gregory from being productive, totaling two tackles (one for loss) and hurrying the Southern Miss quarterback four times Saturday, a team high.

“I think I’m on the right path, and just have to get better every week and play well in the game,” Gregory said at practice last week.

“It’s a tough defense to learn, but once you learn it, it works.”

Pelini has liked what he’s seen

so far from Gregory, saying the defensive end has a tremendous amount of ability.

“We feel really fortunate to have him here because he fills a need for us,” Pelini said. “I think a guy with his types of talents fills a need for every football team.”

Significant time from Banderas, Gregory and even freshman linebacker Nathan Gerry has been positive so far, but the newcomers will face their first true test this week against No. 17 UCLA. “It’s going to be more difficult. It’s going to be faster,”

I think I’m on the right path, and I just have to get better every week and play well in the game.”

Randy Gregory sophomore defensive end

Pelini said in a news conference Monday. “Things are going to be happening quicker, and you are going to have to adjust to things that maybe you weren’t necessarily anticipating.”

Last year, UCLA scorched the Husker defense for a total of 653 yards, running for 344, in a 36-30 victory. sports@ dailynebraskan.com

“Steffi stepped up and was low for us today,” Krapfl said.

“We didn’t even know if for sure Katelyn would play because she’s been injured, she hadn’t practiced all week. And she stepped up and shot under par as well.”

Even Nebraska’s lone freshman played like a seasoned athlete in the first two rounds.

“I have to give our freshman, Jordan Chael, a lot of credit for firing 1-under in her opening round and finishing with 3-over

for the entire day,” Krapfl said.

“For a freshman, especially in her first day of her first competition, it’s incredible.”

The Huskers hope to keep their numbers low as they enter the final day of play.

“If they keep doing what they are doing and focus on their own game, it should take care of itself,” Krapfl said. “If we win that’s just a bonus at the end.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com

Senior runner comes back from knee injury Vanessa Daves DN When he first started feeling pain in his calf during last year’s cross country season, Jarren Heng tried to keep it to himself. The only person he confided in was his friend and teammate, Trevor Vidlak, who suggested he talk to the trainers.

Heng tried to tough it out, and make it through the workouts that week. But one morning, after running only about three miles, he could barely keep going.

“I didn’t want to tell them because I didn’t want to be benched for a meet, but I didn’t have any choice,” Heng said.

So he went to the trainers, and he heard the one thing that he least expected: He had a strain in his calf,

and he had to sit out the rest of the season. With only three meets left in his junior season, this was his worst nightmare.

Jarren stopped running his 90mile weeks and started taking it easy. For two weeks after he found out about his injury, he didn’t run at all. He was a potato. Played video games. Watched TV. Called his mom.

“I would always call her and be like, ‘Mom, I wanna run!’ and she would remind me that I made this commitment, and I needed to stick with it to get better,” Heng said.

After his two weeks of inactivity, he eased back into things. And although he had to sit out the rest of the cross country season, it didn’t stop him from being a part of the team. He went to every practice, and

while his teammates went for a run, he would go swimming. He went to every meet and event for the rest of the season, other than the last meet of the year, even though he couldn’t run.

“It was kind of a blessing in disguise for me,” Heng said. “Although I didn’t get to run, I got to see the other side, which is the coaching aspect of it. I was able to reach out to the younger guys on the team.”

Cross country coach Dave Harris was pleased with Heng’s positive attitude despite his situation.

“With any athlete, they feel the need to lead in any way they can, so I think he wants to show that leadership, and he wants to help people to get better,” Harris said. “It was nice to have him adopt that attitude where he was like, ‘Well, I can’t be

out here running, so let me try to help the team any way I can.’”

Although he healed in time for the track & field season in the spring, he ended up sustaining another lower leg injury at the end of it. As the team starts this season, Harris is simply hoping that Heng stays healthy for the entirety of the year.

“He’s got to read his body,” Harris said. “He’s got to be sure he doesn’t overextend at times. We need to have him out there, not on the sidelines.”

Coming into this season as a co-captain for the team with Vidlak, Heng is excited about the team’s potential. He feels confident because he was able to work so closely with everyone while he was injured, offering them guid-

ance and direction wherever he could.

This year, he has high hopes for both himself and the team. As an individual, he wants to rank in the top 15 at the Big Ten meet. As a team, he hopes that the runners can place in the top five at the Big

Ten meet and even make it to the national meet.

But mostly, he hopes that he can be a good role model for the younger guys on the team and leave an impression during his last season at Nebraska. sports@ dailynebraskan.com

Nebraska stands at 2-1-2 after the first five games of the season, and although they did not perform up to expectations against No. 6 Bringham Young University,

Utah State and Arkansas, the team still has not changed its aspirations for this season.

“We can get to the tournament,” Miramontez said. “We

know that we’re able to get there, and that’s what our ultimate goal is at the end of the year.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com

football practice notes Huskers begin prep for UCLA

Nebraska will face its first ranked opponent of the season on Saturday – UCLA. Coach Bo Pelini said it will be important to shut down Bruin quarterback Brett Hundley and his target receivers.

According to defensive back Ciante Evans, Hundley is one of the best quarterbacks the senior has had to defend against.

“He is probably up there in the top two, if not one,” Evans said.

“He’s mobile, very good passer.

He’s accurate and can do a lot of great things.”

Last year Hundley threw for 305 yards and four touchdowns, and ran for 53 more yards. That type of player, defensive lineman Jason Ankrah said, will be a main focus this week.

“We’re going to play a couple of those type of quarterbacks this year,” Ankrah said. “I’m sure our game plan will be one that will tone him down and immobilize him a little more. We’ll get a good plan for him, I’m sure.”

Loss adds motivation against Bruins

Last year, UCLA defeated Nebraska 36-30 in Pasadena

when the Huskers gave up 653 total yards, including 344 rushing yards.

The loss has left a bitter taste in the mouth of many Husker players returning, but Pelini said that shouldn’t be the only reason Nebraska goes into Saturday’s game with a sense of passion.

“I’m pretty positive our team is motivated no matter what the situation,” Pelini said. “It just so happens that we played this team a year ago and it didn’t (go our way). If that provides our guys with extra motivation, so be it. I would hope it does.”

Most players echoed Pelini’s sentiments on Monday, saying Saturday’s match-up brings enough incentive as is, but to throw in last year’s loss gives the Huskers an idea what UCLA brings.

“I don’t believe in payback, but we’ve had it on our minds since the loss, so we know what to expect,” Ciante Evans said.

New uniforms on display

Nebraska’s alternate uniforms that will be worn against UCLA on Saturday were handed out to the team on Monday.

For offensive lineman Cole

Pensick, a Lincoln native, the jersey was long overdue for Nebraska.

“I think it’s about time,” he said. “I grew up in Nebraska, and you always have just the scarlet and cream. Ever since I got here, we’ve always talked about having black jerseys, so I think it’s fitting.”

Several players said they enjoyed how Adidas designed the alternate uniform, including running back Ameer Abdullah, though the running back didn’t seem too picky with what uniform he’s handed.

“For me, I don’t care what we wear, I just want to win the game,” Abdullah said. “I don’t care what we wear; we could be out there in underwear. It’s always nice to spice things up once a year.”

While the new outfit won’t change the Husker’s game plan for the Bruins, Pelini noted the fresh uniforms could catch some younger players’ eyes.

“I think it’s been good for us in recruiting,” Pelini said. “I think Adidas and our administration have done a good job of working together to have something that isn’t so out there. Let’s face it. Nebraska and the fans and this place is still about tradition.

That will never change here.”

Game times announced

An announcement from the Nebraska athletic department said next week’s game against South Dakota State University will be televised by Big Ten, with kickoff slated for 2:30 p.m.

Nebraska’s games against Illinois and Iowa were also set on Monday. Both are scheduled for 11 a.m.

After confronting the reporter, Mora abruptly ended the conference. Later in the day, though, Mora talked with a smaller group of reporters, explaining that media access would be closed the rest of the week to allow players and staff to deal with the loss of Pasquale.
