The increase is largely due to this year’s

Chancellor Harvey Perlman said the increase signifies that UNL is well on its way to acheiving his enrollment goal of

30,000 students by 2017

UNL’s minority undergraduate population increased to

12%

of the undergraduate student body. That makes this year’s student body the most diverse student body in history.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman hinted at his 14th annual State of the University address during UNL Faculty Senate’s first meeting Tuesday.

Because the address is scheduled for Sept. 17, Perlman said it was an “awkward meeting” for him, but he spoke about topics that wouldn’t be detailed in next week’s speech.

One of the topics was moving Career Services over to Academic Affairs.

“The world is changing in a very quick way and we are going to be increasingly accountable for things we haven’t been accountable for before. It’s all about careers and what we’re doing to make students successful,” Perlman said.

He also spoke about creating a system of malls in East and City campuses, rearranging the transportation system for bus routes and commuters, repurposing campus libraries

and renovating both the Nebraska Union and Nebraska East Union.

The system of malls, or pedestrian only walkways, would be created over the next five to 15 years, and the transportation system would change 14th Street into a bus route to allow students to be dropped off in the middle of campus, with 17th Street as a pedestrian street.

Repurposing the libraries would focus on ways students can connect and engage with other students.

“They are not serving the purpose that contemporary libraries are serving,” Perlman said.

Although Perlman didn’t go into detail about further renovation developments, he said the unions would be “the center hub for transportation.”

After Perlman spoke, the senate focused on making a non-tenured track faculty member to the Faculty Compensation Advisory Commit-

Lutheran Center opens free pantry Mara Klecker DN A charitable pantry on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus has served five students since opening on the first day of classes.

The OpeN Shelf pantry, located in the Lutheran Center, offers free personal hygiene products, laundry detergent and nonperishable food to students. After a recent influx of donations from the Food Bank of Lincoln, Greek Affairs as well as private donors, the pantry is now able to serve more students.

Megan Rudolph, a sophomore accounting major and AmeriCorps volunteer, was selected to lead the project. She wants the program to reach all students who need it.

“We want to help ensure that low-income students don’t have to worry about basic necessities, so they can just focus on their education,” Rudolph said.

Though the pantry is supported by the Lutheran Center, all students are welcome regardless of religious affiliation. Students who come to the pantry will be greeted at the door and assisted while they look for the items they need.

The only paperwork is an optional comment card.

“It does take a lot of courage to walk in and say that you need some help,” Rudolph said. “We keep things as private as we pos-

The idea for the pantry came at a student life meeting last December. Representatives from the Lutheran Center brought the proposal to the Lutheran Center ’s pastor, Adam White. White saw the project as a chance for students to help fellow students.

“This is important for students and it’s important for us, for it’s an opportunity for us to engage in justice and advocacy work on campus,” White said. “So often we think about students doing service outside of campus, but the possibility of doing it right here excited all of us.”

Arena to host future football watch parties Thousands of Husker fans decided to watch the first two Husker games in Pinnacle Bank Arena Sophie Tatum DN After thousands of Lincolnites flocked to the Pinnacle Bank Arena during the first two Husker gamedays, arena management says it hopes to host about four or five gameday watch parties every year.

“People really enjoyed it,” said Tom Lorenz, general manager of the arena. “It was a nice option for them, especially since it was so hot outside.”

But the arena will not be open for all home games because of scheduling conflicts with other events and concerts, Lorenz said.

In an effort to familiarize Lincolnites with the new arena, Lorenz came up with the idea to make the building accessible to the public during the game against Wyoming. About 4,000 people had the chance to stop by, purchase food, soft drinks and beer at the concession stands, socialize and watch the game in the air-conditioned arena on the big screen video. And after the success of its Aug. 31 watch party, the management staff decided to open the arena doors for a second time in last Saturday’s game against Southern Mississippi. Lorenz said the arena’s bowl alone can hold 8,000.

Doors were opened three hours prior to kick-off, which gave people a chance to mingle and explore some of the open areas of the new building. The watch party was a follow-up to the ribbon cutting ceremony for the arena on Aug. 29, which also included an open house.

MATT MASIN | DN

The Pinnacle Bank Arena is hosting Husker football watching parties inside the 16,000-seat arena. The arena offers its own concessions and refreshments including beer while watching the game.

Lorenz also encouraged people to stop by and bring their Husker basketball tickets or concert tickets so they could see where their seats were located within the arena.

However, people weren’t only drawn to the arena, Lorenz said.

They were also attracted to all of the new developments in the area.

Lorenz said he believes the turn-

out from the first watch party is a reflection on the future of the new development.

“Haymarket already was a great gathering place,” Lorenz said. “There are just a lot of really great opportunities for people to just enjoy themselves and get together over in this district.”

Katie Lucot, an animal sci-

ence graduate student, was at The Railyard in the Haymarket for the game.

“The atmosphere was just awesome, everybody was there to have a good time,” Lucot said. “It was as if Nebraska football was a family and we were all the extended family watching on.”

People were able to go to the

Haymarket Farmer’s Market in the morning, then eat lunch and watch the game at the arena all within a two-block radius, Lorenz said.

Information on future watch parties can be found on the arena’s website, http://www.pinnaclebankarena.com. news@ dailynebraskan.com

Center for Great Plains Studies renovates museum Whitney Carlson DN The Great Plains Art Museum was renovated over the summer in hopes of attracting more visitors and is now showing off its new design.

“We basically wanted to figure out a way to stand out from the other buildings in the area,” said Katie Nieland, publications specialist for the Center for Great Plains Studies. “Hopefully, as people are passing by, they will see it.”

The museum, located at 1155 Q St., is situated on the first floor of Hewit Place. It received a paint job and a new logo, with prairie grass embellishing the walls and windows.

“The vision in my head of the Great Plains is large, open, grass plains,” said Jon Humiston, creative director for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Office of University Communications and designer of the new look. “I wanted to make that transition from the grass by the sidewalk to the grass on the walls and windows.”

Lied Center hosts ‘Grow a Show’ RHA elects senate speaker, ASCAP musical theater festival sets agenda for academic year TONY papousek dn For the first time in Nebraska, the Lied Center for Performing Arts is hosting the ASCAP “Grow a Show” New Musical Theatre Workshop and Festival.

ASCAP (The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) was founded in February 1914. They strive to support music creators and assure they are rightly compensated for their work.

ASCAP workshops and festivals don’t usually take place in the Midwest, said Becky Boesen, the festival’s coordinator.

“This usually happens in New York and Los Angeles. And occasionally they’ll have little workshops across the country, but never in this part of the Midwest, and never in Nebraska.”

Boesen said. “It took some work and some vision from people working within the Lied Center.”

The festival will bring with it the Broadway cabaret, “Hello, Broadway!” showing Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. in the Lied Center.

The “Hello, Broadway!” cabaret, directed by Alisa Belflower, associate producer in musical

theatre development with the Lied Center, will be one of the highlights of the three-day festival, said Bill Stephan, the Lied Center ’s executive director. He said it will be a rare opportunity to see Broadway masters Matthew Sklar, Chad Beguelin and Karen Morrow perform with local Lincoln talent on the Lied Center stage. Sklar and Beguelin are Tony Award nominees and writers of the Broadway musicals, “Elf” and “The Wedding Singer.”

“It’s going to be an unforgettable evening,” Stephan said.

On Thursday, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will be treated to three staged readings of upcoming musicals: “Threads,” “Cross That River” and “Crossing Over.”

“Threads” is a musical about clothes, women and a grandfather ’s desire to give his granddaughter a perfect wardrobe. It shows that clothes don’t define the wearer.

“Cross That River” tells the story of a brave Louisianan man.

He escapes the tyranny of his former master, steals a stallion and rides west for freedom.

“Crossing Over” is an Amish Hip-Hop musical about a young woman that is released from her

culture to explore mainstream culture for the first time. She bumps into a hip-hop street corner performer and heads to New York with him.

While this may be the first time Grow A Show has been in Lincoln, Boesen says he has high hopes for the week.

“Lincoln is in a perfect position to hold this kind of event,” Boesen said. “As we grow and evolve, we really become a major market; it seemed like the perfect place.”

The festival is free and open to the public.

“Imagine a chance to see a brand-new musical as it is created, before it hits the streets of Broadway and becomes a smash-hit,” he said. “This festival gives you that opportunity.”

The Lied Center ’s main mission is to educate, inspire and entertain through the performing arts. While “Grow A Show” is good for Lincoln as a community, it has added benefits for UNL students, Boesen said.

“It’s really good for our students, too,” Boesen said. “Our students here are getting a hands-on opportunity to work with Broadway professionals.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

Lis Arneson DN The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Residence Hall Association elected its speaker of the senate Tuesday during its first meeting of the 201314 academic year.

Taylor Bosch, a freshman mechanical engineering major, will be responsible for preparing legislation submitted to RHA for presentation, reading legislation to the senate and communicating with groups that submit legislation to RHA. As speaker of the senate, he is required to attend executive committee meetings and must have at least a 2.0 GPA. RHA president Matt Knapp, a junior advertising major, led an introductory presentation about RHA, including information about its meeting format and its committees.

RHA senators filled out sheets indicating their preference for which committee they were most interested in serving on. RHA committees include the events committee, the programming committee and the residential enhancement committee.

Knapp encouraged RHA sena-

tors to speak up during meetings – especially when discussing legislation.

“RHA really does rely on your input,” he said. “I don’t care if 15 different people speak in support of a bill. It’s important for everyone to know that you have strong support of a bill.”

In other business, RHA unanimously approved junior hospitality, restaurant and tourism management major Brooke Ellerman and junior food science and technology major Kyler Held as programming chairs. Both members have plenty of experience in RHA, Knapp said.

“They’re really energetic, fun people to work around and I know they’ll be very receptive to the ideas that you guys have,” Knapp said.

RHA also approved the addition of a National Residence Hall Honorary liaison to the RHA executive board.

Ellerman spoke in support of the addition.

“I think it will be helpful for communication since we’ll be working with them a lot,” she said.

The National Residence Hall Honorary will appoint a member to

attend each RHA meeting, according to Knapp. The liaison will not have voting power in RHA, according to meeting documents.

“Having a partnership with them is a very valuable thing,” Knapp said. “It’s very beneficial for us to have a representative from them.”

RHA treasurer April Riggs, a senior psychology and ethnic studies major, presented the senate with the fall semester budget. The senate will vote to approve the budget at its next meeting on Sept. 17.

Riggs encouraged senators to look through the budget thoroughly before the next meeting.

“Come back with questions next week,” she said. “I’ve divvied it out basically along the lines of how things were last year.”

During open forum, RHA heard from representatives of Iron N, a student group that aims to promote attendance to Husker athletic events. The group encouraged RHA members to spread the word to their residence halls about the “blackout” of the student section for Saturday’s football game against UCLA. news@ dailynebraskan.com

OpeN Pantry fills need in campus community The Daily Nebraskan Editorial Board would like to commend the Lutheran Center and all those involved with the new OpeN Shelf Pantry project on offering a very important campus resource.

UNL students are currently averaging almost $8,000 per year for residents and $21,000 per year for non-residents in tuition and fee costs. Although many students receive help from financial aid, this likely isn’t enough for many others, as our state minimum wage still sits at $7.25. If you do the math, that only gives a person a little over $15,000 a year — and only if they work 40 hours a week, which is likely impossible for a full-time college student.

The OpeN Shelf Pantry, located on 16th Street, is sure to help the large number of students that are affected by these financial stresses. In particular, the Pantry’s emphasis on personal hygiene products will be especially useful.

When you hear the word “pantry,” you probably don’t automatically think of hygiene products. Maybe instead appears “beans” or “pasta” or other things you can get for a couple bucks at the grocery store. You’re already buying that can of Chef Boyardee, so why not buy another one to donate?

Most people probably don’t immediately think the same thing about, say, laundry detergent or tampons. These are things we typically only buy when we run out of them, so grabbing a second doesn’t seem too logical. Also, personal care products are often some of the priciest things we buy as college students.

The board encourages those thinking about donating to the OpeN Shelf Pantry to not only give food items but also personal hygiene products. Although they might be more expensive than picking up a bag of dried beans, most of these products are things we use every day. In addition, this focus is fairly unique, as the multiple other pantries in Lincoln seem to be emphasized on food.

Again, we applaud the Lutheran Center and everyone involved for starting this commendable service. We hope UNL students in good financial states take full advantage of their opportunity to donate to the Pantry.

Syria action will hurt Democrats

W

hat do you do when the man you voted for President because he promised to end two unpopular wars becomes the president to continually encourage the U.S. to get into more unpopular wars? The Democratic Party’s anti-war left is facing what I call the Barack Obama Dilemma.

President Barack Obama and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s desire to use military force against Syria has many Democrats between a rock and a hard place. Statistics show that the deciding factor between Obama winning over Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primary was his continual voting record against military action in Iraq. Now many who voted for Obama because of his foreign policy are feeling isolated and confused because their seemingly anti-war candidate is becoming a liberal hawk. Barack Obama’s decision to call for involvement in Syria will not come without political implications for him and the Democratic Party.

Since the president took office in January of 2009, he has seemed to make a conscious effort to prove to the Republicans that he came to play hardball when it comes to foreign policy. He seems determined to prove that he will take any measure to make sure the United States wins the war on terror, whether or not he has to trample on a few (or several) of your Constitutional rights in the process.

While I’m not sure of Obama’s underlying reasons for believing Syria involvement is a good idea, he has played his cards very intelligently by letting Congress vote before taking action. I believe when he decided to let Congress vote on the matter, he was under the impression it would be popular among the public and be passable in both houses.

If Congress authorized an attack and it turned out to be a tactical victory, he would get to take credit for the idea. If it failed, he’d be able to blame the Republicans for voting yes to another war that costs American lives. The plot twist with Syria is that no resolution for the use of force against Syria will be passing through Congress.

I believe the biggest shock for most people regarding the decision on Syria is that it won’t be the Democrats that save the U.S. from another wasteful war but the Republicans. Yes, you read that cor-

Wade Burkholder rectly: the Republican Party will be the backbone to stop a war against Syria. Until late last week, Republicans in Congress were pledging a No vote to Syria with a three to one ratio of Democrat Congressmen. The official tally currently stands at 171 Republicans pledging to vote no to 67 Democrats voting no in Congress. In both houses, the Democrats are more than doubling the Republicans in the pledge to vote yes to intervention. This is a significant change in the foreign policy the American public has come to expect over the past several years and may be the beginning of a shift in foreign policy in the Republican Party. In the coming years, we will likely see more Tea Party, Libertarian and Populist candidates coming into office in the Republican Party under the principle of favoring a strong national defense instead of military involvement abroad.

The longer the Syria debacle drags on, the stickier the situation seems to be. We’ve had Kerry making statements starting with the possibility of “boots on the ground” which has now shifted to him saying that the Americans were planning an “unbelievably small” attack on Syria. Kerry has also sent several mixed messages on what actions the president will make. After uproar at the possibility that Obama would issue a strike without Congressional approval, Obama acknowledged that he would allow Congress to vote first. Now, Kerry has released statements implying that regardless of the vote, the President has the final decision of whether or not to attack. This earned Kerry heated remarks from Senator Rand Paul, saying, “if we do not say that the Constitution applies, if we do not say explicitly that we will abide by this vote, you’re making a joke of us.”

When all hope seemed to be lost on reversing

the White House’s stance on attacking Syria, CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan asked if the Assad regime could do anything to convince the U.S. to not attack. Kerry responded Assad “could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week… and allow a full and total accounting before that, but he isn’t about to do it and it can’t be done.”

Unexpectedly, this may actually be an option the Syrians are willing to explore, thanks to talks with Russian diplomats. Tuesday afternoon, Russia announced that they would be drafting a resolution to present to the United Nations to put Syria’s chemical weapons under international control.

The Syria decision may also leave the Democrats fighting an uphill battle on foreign policy in the 2016 election. Obama will be delivering a crucial speech on the matter of Syria Tuesday night, before this article will be published. This may be one of the most important speeches during his presidency so far. The best case for Obama and the Democrats is to vote against intervention in Syria.

If they can gather a coalition to match the Republicans’ opposition, they will likely escape nearly unscathed. If military action is taken against Syria, the Democrats will face serious challenges in 2016 with the top five or more Democratic incumbents for the presidential race pledging their support for intervention.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from military involvement in the Middle East it should be this: there’s no such thing as military victory in the Middle East. America’s best hope is to provide strong diplomatic options through negotiation, not bombs and drone strikes that kill innocent civilians and cause far more harm than good.

The ball is in your court, President Obama. The majority of the Americans have voiced their opposition against a war that we can’t afford and don’t have any business in. I have the sincerest hope that our President will make the right decision, but I don’t have much faith that he will. When your foreign policy has to be saved by Russia offering the only non-violent solution, you’re doing something wrong.

Minimum wage increases too slowly

W

hen I was 16, I got a minimum wage job at a movie theater. It was a great community and more helpful than many firsttime jobs. I continued there for four years, returning for summers and holidays after I moved to college. This work helped me save up for college and move out on my own. However, the wages are a small portion of my continued cost of education. Minimum wage jobs are a good start in building work ethic and savings accounts. In the long run, though, the current wages simply aren’t enough.

Minimum wage jobs are often looked down on, especially by those working for an education that is meant to push them into “better” positions. True, many minimum wage jobs don’t require “advanced” intellectual skill. That being said, most jobs require a certain amount of training and knowledge. These requirements are often ignored, and minimum wage jobs are stigmatized as being unimportant and unimpressive.

For college students, the pressure and disappointment can be especially high. As a junior, I’m feeling the increased need to get a “respectable” internship or another job to build my resume and career skills. Such jobs can be incredible learning opportunities but aren’t always available. When they do come along, students may not have the time to commit to them. Thus, if college students choose to work during the semester, many of them are drawn to minimum wage jobs like those in food service and supermarkets.

Students who do work these jobs suffer both the “embarrassment” of wasting their skills and the frustration of pitifully small paychecks. Because of their class schedules, students struggle to work enough hours to make a financial difference.

While scholarships and financial aid are available, students are responsible for funding a large portion of their educations. Tuition, fees, rent, utilities, gas, groceries and the occasional night out are all draws on our precious reserves.

With the plight of college students and others in mind, we now turn to the issue of raising the minimum wage. The first question for many people is: why does the wage need to be radically changed?

Why can’t we continue with occasional increases?

Amy kenyon In terms of people and numbers, the $7.25 minimum wage simply isn’t practical. Craig K. Elwell submitted a Congressional Research Survey in June 2013 on the “real” minimum wage. According to this, minimum wage’s real purchasing power was at its peak in 1968 with $10.70. Today’s real value is $7.90. The numerical value of minimum wage has increased steadily from $0.25 in 1938 to $7.25 in 2009. However, the real value rose from $4.07 in 1938 to $10.70 in 1968 and has been in relative decline since then. This means that while cost of living continues to rise, the quality of minimum wage has dropped over the last 40 years.

Clearly changes need to be made. One of the organizations heading the drive for government intervention is the Raise the Minimum Wage campaign.

They are strong proponents of the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2013. This plan is to raise the wage to $10.10 by 2015, in three steps of 95 cents each. After this initial raise, the wage would be indexed to the cost of living starting in 2016. Additionally, the minimum wage for tipped workers would be tied to 70 percent of full wage. Information from the Department of Labor shows that states vary on minimum wage for tipped workers. However, many of them use the federal minimum of $2.13, which hasn’t changed for over 20 years.

A variety of statistics and postulations have been thrown around about what effect such a bill would have. Opponents suggest those below poverty will likely stay below poverty and won’t make the effort to find a job, even with increased wages.

However, workers seeking higher wages have staged several protests just this year. One example is the Fight for 15 battle in Chicago. Fast food and retail workers are organizing for the right to earn

$15 an hour and to form a union. Movements like these show that those working for minimum wage care about what they’re doing. They’re willing to work, but they want to be fairly compensated for that work.

Many people ask who these changes would truly help. According to The Economic Policy Institute Blog, 13 million people would have direct wage changes. An additional 4.7 million working just above minimum wage would see spillover increases. Minimum wage workers are often assumed to be high school students working for extra cash.

This study shows that less than 16 percent of affected workers are teenagers. Of those affected, 47.3 percent work full time, 57.4 percent are women, 46.9 percent are people of color and 25.7 percent have a family income below $20,000.

What would raising the minimum wage mean for the national economy? Raise the Minimum Wage argues that workers would spend their higher wages at local businesses, thus creating $32 billion in new economic activity. Businesses with higher sales would then hire more employees, to the tune of 140,000 new jobs.

President Obama summed up these benefits in his State of the Union address : “It could mean the difference between groceries or the food bank; rent or eviction; scraping by or finally getting ahead. For businesses across the country, it would mean customers with more money in their pockets. And a whole lot of folks out there would probably need less help from the government.”

Raising the minimum wage could make a world of difference for families and individuals living around the poverty line. Many agree that the raise would economically benefit the entire nation.

Even those college students who have respectable internships should pay heed to these debates.

They may change the structure of our economy in the next five years. For college students continuing to struggle, this movement is certainly encouraging.

We may not have a family to support, but we have personal and scholarly needs to fulfill. Getting a leg up now could help us far down the road.

Cole, the son of National Geographic Photographer Joel Sartore, will live in the house, and his two younger siblings may also move in when they’re older. The Sartores hope the renovations of the historical house built in 1878 will be done in October.

Library changes to expand resources ‘Riddick’ fails to live up to expectations Love Library’s Media Services adds games, toys to encourage student interaction

Amanda Stoffel DN

Akua Dawes DN There’s more than just books at the library.

The Media Services center of Love Library is offering a wide range of games and toys for students to both enjoy and use for class.

These new attractions hope to invite students to be more comfortable in the media center and to enjoy it not only for the resources, but also for the games.

“The mission here is to support communities in efforts to bring them to the library,” said Head of Media Services Richard Graham.

The library offers classic board games like “Settlers of Catan” and “Monopoly,” to more recent games like “Cards Against Humanity,” the center even carries video games of “Call of Duty: Black Ops” and “Portal 2.”

Graham said he hoped to could spark the interests of the students by not only bringing modern games, but also childhood favorites, including Legos.

“In this way we can act more as a public library for the students, not just an scholarly or academic library,” he said.

The idea for the games in the center came when Graham found out about a gaming research group, headed by communications professor Kane Click.

The gaming research group, originally made for the discussion of game theory, has become a

...there can be learning in gaming, so we instated them into our center.”

Richard Graham media services

more relaxed way for students to talk about their gaming hobby in a more academic way.

When Graham heard about

the need for the group to have games and a place to play them, he began to purchase games for the group to utilize.

“We saw that there can be learning in gaming, so we instated them into our center,” said Graham.

Click agreed with this sentiment and said he was grateful for the new institutions.

“The library seems to be the opportune place to hold meetings,” Click said. “Its perfect that the library put these tools for students to use and learn from.”

Students not affiliated with the group are welcome to come into the service center and hold group meetings and social gathering as they play games.

The addition of the games is expected to bring in a large group of students looking to save money.

Graham said this was a sign of the changing times in media formats.

“This is a reaction to the trends of people visiting their libraries less and less,” Graham said. arts@ dailynebraskan.com

“Riddick” is like “Tremors.” In space. Minus Kevin Bacon.

And although that may sound like an appealing premise for a film, “Riddick” doesn’t live up to its potential. The third installment in the “Chronicles of Riddick” franchise is cliché, sexist and boring.

The film begins with Riddick, played by Vin Diesel, stranded on an unknown planet with a disgustingly broken leg. In true hero movie fashion, the voice over from the film’s star explains that “There are bad days. And then there are legendary bad days. This was shaping up to be one of those.” Apparently, after becoming Lord Marshall of the Necromongers in “The Chronicles of Riddick,” Riddick tried to find his home planet, Furya.

But as he so poignantly explains, on the journey to find the planet “instead of Furya, we wind up someplace called ‘Not Furya.’”

And thus begins Riddicks’s “Cast Away” type journey of discovering the land, gruesomely splinting a horrendously broken leg, and befriending a dog/ zebra/tiger sort of animal. The plot thickens as Riddick realizes that with the rain making its way across Not Furya brings with it an invasion of the creatures not unlike those in the monumental “Tremors” series, except in the land of “Riddick,” they have tails like scorpions, plus legs.

As such, Riddick sends out a signal for bounty hunters to

Volcano Fire’s latest album is worth the wait ‘Repave,’ is one of Justim Vernon’s less popular works, but still is worth a listen for its strong qualities Alex Rogers DN Justin Vernon’s latest musical venture finds himself taking a new path.

Volcano Choir ’s first album, “Unmap,” came out four years ago. While “Unmap” happened as an incidental collaboration be-

tween Vernon and post-rock band “Collection of Colonies of Bees,” “Repave” was a more precedented effort from the group. The members of Volcano Choir started working on “Repave” in 2010, but ran into trouble when the band members’ conflicting schedules filled with other projects. After an extensive tour together in Japan and a few U.S. dates, they developed a greater chemistry and stronger identity which became the inertia “Repave” needed to finish recording.

The bizarre, yet stimulating “Unmap” seldom adhered to standard song structure, while “Repave” finds a sweet spot between experimental production techniques and tried-and-true song structure. The combination re-

Despite missteps, ‘Repave’ is a cathartic experience that should not be missed under the shadow of Vernon’s more popular work.”

sults in textured, atmospheric pop songs. Vernon’s unique voice will have listeners comparing this album to his previous work as Bon Iver, though Vernon’s only contribution to the album are his vocals.

Lyrically, “Alaskans” encapsulates the central theme of “Repave”; repaving his mental path upon realizing his current one’s

downfalls. The track samples a Charles Bukowski reading, who influences Vernon’s often forthright and even sexual lyricism.

The album’s emotional frankness works in its favor most of the time. “Dancepack” compels as Vernon repeats, “Take note, there’s a still a hole in your heart.”

“Comrade” is another highlight

with its chorus comprised of mesmerizing organ arpeggios and Vernon’s falsetto harmonies.

However, at the last verse of the song, he tacks on his trademark vocoder, which is a questionable decision in a song with already so many interesting elements.

Vernon also gets somewhat carried away with his falsetto three minutes into album closer “Almanac.” Luckily, the song recovers and closes the album in a gorgeous, reverb-heavy feedback loop of vocals.

Despite missteps, “Repave” is a cathartic experience that should not be missed under the shadow of Vernon’s more popular work. arts@ dailynebraskan.com

Cole Sartore stands in the living room of the historical house on campus his family bought and is renovating, holding a mold of a fish his grandfather caught decades ago. Sartore hasn’t decided where he’ll hang the fish in the house.

Civil War. In 1900, it was purchased

by Dwight Syford and was cared for by his daughter Constance until her death in 1967. The house was willed to the Nebraska State Historical Society, and was used by UNL for office space at one point, but it has been vacant for several years.

Last year, the Mcnair family planned to convert the house into a school for children with autism.

Their plans fell through, however, when the Lincoln City Council rejected a proposed add-on to the property on the grounds that it would damage its historical integrity.

As a photographer, Joel has worked for decades to document and save endangered species, a goal that, for him, translates to historic architecture. So the Sartore family was happy to maintain the house’s historical integrity, keeping anything original they could, including square nails, hand-painted woodgrain and the decorative doorknob and bell.

“I’ve always loved antique things, the way they’re made, the quality of workmanship, and I like saving things,” he said. “That same instinct to save things that are rare applies to historic buildings.” arts@ dailynebraskan.com

“She’s All That” Vanessa Daves DN

“She’s All That” has it all. The moment of pure cheesiness when the dorky girl takes off her glasses and, surpise, she’s been beautiful all along. A happy ending where the jock gets in touch with his sensitive side. The chance to laugh at ‘90s fashion.

It all starts when big man on campus, Zack Siler, is dumped by his coveted girlfriend. To try and win back his claim to popularity, he agrees to a bet with his friends where he has six weeks to make Laney Boggs — the most unnoticed, nerdy girl in school — prom queen material. As Zack attempts to impress her and gain her friendship to win the bet, Laney continuously turns him down. Zack seemingly goes to any lengths to get her approval; he befriends her younger brother, gets the JV soccer team to clean up her house to save her the time and invites her to parties.

What’s unusual about this somewhat predictable movie is that Laney stays true to herself. Even though Zack makes her popular and does in fact get her nominated for prom queen, Laney never changes herself to fit the stereotype. She doesn’t stop painting, doesn’t stop spending free time with her dad and doesn’t ditch her old friends for her new ones.

This film may be predictable and cheesy, but it does what a movie is supposed to do. It makes you laugh. It puts you in a good mood.

And it helps you procrastinate for that English paper you were supposed to finish yesterday. arts@ dailynebraskan.com

riddick: from 5 thermore, Twohy shot the film in the most simplistic way, adding to the film’s ability to act as a sedative. There are maybe two scenes that actively demand the attention of the audience, and one of them involves a head getting sliced in half with a sword.

Twohy even attempts to pay homage to “Shawshank Redemption” with a shot involving Riddick in the rain. But without Morgan Freeman narrating, it’s more than just a little bit ridiculous.

Scratch that. “Riddick”-ulous.

The most ridicule for the film, however, does not lie within its mundane existence. Rather, the film blatantly disregards women.

With only two women shown in the film — one is a seductress, the other named Dahl (played by Katee Sackhoff)—the potential for feminist discourse is next to impossible. Although Dahl takes down a male crew member, it is presumed that she is only capable of doing so because she doesn’t actually like men. The best line in the film, “I don’t (have sex with) guys. Occasionally, I (same word, different context) ‘em up if they need it,” acknowledges her sexual preference and becomes the basis of many snide remarks made by the men in the film, the pinnacle being when Riddick (accurately, of course) predicts that Dahl will ask him for a certain… favor. And she will ask for it “real sweet like.”

body on the defense did a good job.”

Evan’s approach has also leaked into the actions of his younger teammates.

In addition to his interceptions and Jean-Baptiste’s takeaway, junior safety Corey Cooper also recorded his first interception of his career for 16 yards to put the Huskers once again in scoring position.

After their early bump in the road to start the season against Wyoming, it’s clear that the young defensive backs are starting to take initiative, Evans said.

“I really don’t have much to say. I think it shows by their play on Saturday,” he said. “I’ve just seen a lot more sense of urgency, especially on the defensive side.”

Evans, Jean-Baptiste and their younger teammates now look to prove their first game’s showing was a fluke. In order to do that, they’ll have to continue to improve during practice and stick to their assignments against UCLA on Saturday.

UCLA’s quarterback, Brett Hundley, compiled a passer rating of 156.4 in the team’s 58-20 win against Nevada (Aug. 31), and will be coming in well rested after having a bye week.

“He’s a very good quarterback,” Evans said after Monday’s news conference. “We just need to corral him and get some pressure on him. Just play defense how we’ve been playing.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com

Maike Zeppernick follows through with a backhand during a match last season. Zeppernick is the lone senior returning for the women’s tennis team on a squad that brings in five freshmen and a new assistant coach.

5 freshmen, new coach eye season Women’s tennis team will start off its season at the Midland Invite in Texas on Friday Staff report DN After having the most recordbreaking season in Nebraska history in 2013, the Husker women’s tennis team is looking to maintain its national ranking and move up in the NCAA standings. Last spring, the women’s team made it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament for the first time. After making their debut, the Huskers fell short of No. 2 ranked North Carolina.

The Huskers were led by Mary Weatherholt, who won more matches during her tenure at Nebraska with 123 than anyone in program history. As an all-American, Weatherholt made it to the National Championship singles tournament where she went 5-1, but fell to the Stanford’s defending champion, Nicole Gibbs.

With Weatherholt and three other seniors gone, the women’s tennis team is left with four returning letter winners in sophomores Maggy Lehmicke and Lauren Wagner, junior Izabella Zgierska and the lone senior and captain, Maike Zeppernick.

“We have good leadership with Maike,” coach Scott Jacobson said. “I think that the other three returning players will also be able to lead the girls because of their experience on last year’s team.”

The upperclassmen for this year are outnumbered by the five incoming freshmen of Lisa An-

keep working hard to get to where we want.”

In order to get to that top-40 team spot in Division I, the Huskers are gunning to defeat their biggest competitors, according to Jacobson, who is the winningest coach in Nebraska history.

“Our teams-to-beat are Northwestern and Michigan,” Jacobson said. “They are projected to be pretty strong again and are going to be our biggest challenges.”

Last season, the women defeated Northwestern in a close 4-3 win, while losing to Michigan 2-5.

Jacobson said Illinois may even be a big competitor, but for now the women are just focused on making it to the NCAA championships once again.

The women’s tennis team will open its season on Friday Sept. 13 at the Midland Invite in Midland, Texas. sports@ dailynebraskan.com

Three things to move forward on:

Coach Bo Pelini disregards age. OK, so we knew that one long before the Southern Miss game, but after giving true freshman Josh Banderas the nod to start over the much more experienced senior David Santos, this point was reinforced. Pelini has always said he gives out playing time based on who the best players are, but this week he went so far to say he “made a mistake” by redshirting some of the younger guys last year. As Pelini seems to be rotating in more guys this year than in previous seasons, more underclassmen should make an impact for Nebraska.

“I’m really excited [for the season],” Dalmagro said. “There are a lot of new faces including me.

We have everything going for us.

We have great chemistry, the team is very cohesive, they all want to push each other to do well.”

Jacobson hopes that with these new additions to the women’s tennis program, the team will again take a national ranking as it has done 16 times in the past 17 years.

As of last season’s final standings, the program ranks in the top 25 percent of approximately 300 Division I schools. Jacobson is looking to improve upon that, he said.

“The goal is to make the NCAA tournament, then we would be in the top 10 to 15 percent of Division I schools,” said Jacobson.

“Coach [Jacobson] and I have set the main goal to make it to the NCAA,” Dalmagro said. “I’m new and pretty much half of our team is new, but we are very talented. We just have to find ourselves and just

Now that we’ve seen Nebraska play a couple of games this year, we can begin to assess what kind of team the Huskers are going to be.

dersson, Brittany Brewster, Mary Hanna, Katerina Matysova and Hannah Sulz. Each of them is eager to start their first college season according 23-time Nebraska coach.

These five women are not the only fresh faces to the team, however, as German Dalmagro, who coached for six seasons at Kansas is joining the squad as the assistant coach. Prior to his coaching endeavors, Dalmagro was a member of the West Florida men’s tennis team where he went to consecutive National championships in 2004 and 2005. “[Dalmagro] fits the mold of the program incredibly well,” said Jacobson who is entering this season with 333 career coaching wins.

“He is very passionate about his work and we are just very fortunate that he was available. We couldn’t have had a better candidate for the job than German so I’m really excited that he’s here.”

Controlled the second half. Though Nebraska gave up a touchdown early in the third quarter, the Huskers pretty much kept Southern Miss out of the game. Time of possession was split almost perfectly down the middle between the two teams in each of the opening quarters, but Nebraska took a large edge in the final thirty minutes, holding possession for 10:04 in the third quarter and 11:02 in the fourth. An established run game and a worndown Golden Eagle defense could be deemed the causes of the change in possession.

Kenny Bell won’t surpass 1,000 yards. As a continuation on No. 1, there are just too many threats and skillful players in the receiving core for Bell to reach his long-time goal of 1,000 yards in a season.

With the emergence of younger wide-outs in Sam Burtch and Jordan Westerkamp on Saturday, Martinez has eight receivers who have recorded a reception to throw to now.

Slow starts. Pelini said the offense’s first series against the Golden Eagles on Saturday was “strange.” After receiving a punt to only the Nebraska 7 yard line, the Huskers went three-and-out to give Southern Mississippi the ball again. In similar fashion, Nebraska didn’t find the end zone against Wyoming in the season opener until the first quarter was almost over. Though the offense found a rhythm in each of the first two games eventually, establishing the offense early will be important for Nebraska moving forward.

Lost the penalty battle. As it seemed to be the trend last season,

Nebraska lost the penalty battle in each of its first two games.

Against Wyoming, the Huskers committed ten penalties for 84 yards and were called for six penalties for 75 yards against Southern Miss. Those teams committed eight penalties for 74 yards and seven penalties for 55 yards against Nebraska respectively.

On top of that, the Husker defense has given up three first downs by penalties already this season. Pelini harps the importance of a disciplined team and reducing the amount of penalties would be a huge step in the right direction for his Huskers.

Limit the big plays. Even in a 56-13 victory, there were plenty of pieces that Nebraska could have improved on last week against Southern Miss. For instance, Pelini expressed his disappointment with the team in the third quarter, when the Golden Eagles drove nearly the length of the field for their only touchdown. Defensive coordinator John Papuchis talked a lot about reducing the amount of big-yard plays last week, which hurt Nebraska against Wyoming. Those big-yard plays came in the form of 383 yards of passing from Wyoming.

Freshman rebounds from injury to lead Nebraska

Martinez belongs among Nebraska’s greatest

Kadie Rolfzen returns from a shoulder injury to help Nebraska win both matches last weekend

zach tegler

Eric Bertrand DN With the score 5-3 in the first set against Villanova on Friday, a freshman Nebraska volleyball player took a swing to start her collegiate career.

Kadie Rolfzen recorded her first kill as a Husker.

The Papillion native went on to lead the team in kills for the match with 14. Rolfzen also added two blocks and 11 digs to her attacking statistics for the game.

Rolfzen said she was just happy to get out on the court.

“It’s exciting playing here. I’ve always wanted to,” Rolfzen said. “I was just excited to get my chance tonight.”

And she wasn’t done yet.

In the second match of the weekend, Rolfzen put up similar attacking stats with 14 kills in the match to again lead the team over Georgia.

She was matched up against the Bulldogs’ best player, according to Nebraska coach John Cook and forced Georgia to hit negative in the competition.

“I told her ‘You’re going to get your shot to shut down their best player,’” Cook said. “And she did a great job.”

Cook also said he thought Rolfzen did not play like a freshman in the matches.

Rolfzen was just medically cleared to play earlier last week after injuring her shoulder. Rolfzen said she had only been taking full swings in the practices leading up to last weekend’s matches.

Cook said he needed to see Rolfzen’s confidence at a high level without experiencing soreness in her shoulder in order to play the outside hitter.

Rolfzen took the second most swings in the matches over the weekend and her shoulder seemed to be handling it well, according to the coach.

“That was the most pleasing thing,” he said.

In a news conference on Monday, Cook said the outside hitter will need to be watched closely to keep her injury from reoccurring.

“We have to manage her like a pitcher,” Cook said. “She’s on a pitch count, she only gets so many. We have to really manage her this year.”

With the college game being more advanced than what Rolfzen was used to in high school, Rolfzen has been adding shots to help the success of the Huskers.

Freshman outside hitter Kadie Rolfzen eyes the ball in a match last weekend. Rolfzen led Nebraska with 14 kills against Villanova on Friday.

“I guess you could say in high school I just hit over the block,” Rolfzen said. “Here, you got to work your feet. We get great sets. Mary (Pollmiller) is doing an excellent job of putting it where ever I want the ball, so we are connecting, and I just hit where it takes me.”

Cook said what separates the best outside hitters is their ability to find different ways to get kills. “(Great outside hitters) use the whole court and off the court out of bounds,” the coach said. “We call that attacking the edges.”

Cook also said she was taking the right approach to swings in the games.

“She’s doing a good job of having good mechanics, which will help

her arm,” he said.

Rolfzen’s attacking game is not the only thing Cook finds impressive about Kadie and sister, Amber Rolfzen.

“Being 6-3 and freshmen, (the Rolfzen’s) are pretty good floor defenders, and they are both good passers,” Cook said. “It’s hard to find kids to do that at that size, and that’s what makes them unique.”

Another area of the game Rolfzen does well to help the Huskers is her blocking, Cook said.

“She’s a great blocker,” Cook said. “She adds another dimension that she is a complete volleyball player.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com

football practice notes

Say what you want about Taylor Martinez.

Say he makes worse decisions than Wile E. Coyote in an old Merrie Melody. Say his throwing motion is reminiscent of a medieval catapult.

Say he gives away the football like Oprah gives away Pontiacs.

But like it or not, Martinez deserves a spot among the greats of Nebraska football history.

Right alongside the Heisman Trophy winners: Johnny Rodgers, Mike Rozier and Eric Crouch.

Next to defensive monsters like Rich Glover, Grant Wistrom and Ndamukong Suh. Because entering this season, Martinez, who already held the program record for total yards, was easily on pace to become the first Nebraska player to eclipse the 10,000-total yardage mark.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

Edited by Will Shortz

file photo by matt masin | dn

Senior defensive lineman Thad Randle charges toward the Southern Mississippi offense last Saturday. Randle said the Huskers defense will need to prep a game plan around UCLA’s quarterback.

For Papuchis, it’s about what not to do

UCLA’s 58-20 win over Nevada has been their only game this season, making studying tape of this year’s team difficult for defensive coordinator John Papuchis. But Papuchis does have last year’s loss on tape, and that, he says, he has studied, and studied, and studied and studied.

“I’ve seen that film from last year probably 20 times,” Papuchis said. “We’ve studied it inside and out.”

All through spring camp, summer camp and during fall practices, the UCLA loss has been enough motivation for Papuchis, who is ready to minimize the reasons for Nebraska to lose.

“We didn’t tackle particularly well in that game, 298 yards after contact, you’re not going to win any games with that,” Papuchis said.

“They were over 50 percent on third down conversions; you’re not going to win games like that. I think we were on the field 94 plays, you’re not going win with that disparity. It’s hard to win that way. It all came back to our ability to get off the field.”

Hundley is the Target

It was all talk about No. 17 UCLA’s offense at practice on Tuesday, particularly, sophomore quarterback Brett Hundley. The then-redshirt freshman Hundley threw for 305 yards and four touchdowns last season in Nebraska’s loss to the Bruins, and John Papuchis and company are doing their best to prepare for the dual-threat quarterback.

“I think what’s good about Brett Hundley is that he is efficient,” Papuchis said. “He doesn’t make a lot of bad decisions with the ball. When things aren’t there, he pulls it down and can hurt you with his feet. He’s effective in the running game, and he has the ability to throw the ball well, so you have to make sure you’re very balanced in the way you defend him.”

Senior defensive lineman Thad Randle said the Husker defense has to be hyperaware of what Hundley is doing.

“We got to know where the quarterback is at all times, because he’s a runner,” Randle said.

Hundley threw for 3,745 yards last season with 29 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The sophomore was

22 for 33 for 274 yards in UCLA’s first game against Nevada this year.

Randle said that it’s not just Hundley, though, it’s the entire Bruins team in general Nebraska needs to be ready for.

“They got a real good O-line, their O-line is very good,” said Randle, who has four solo tackles on the season. “They’re a great team so we have to come prepared.”

Troy to come to town:

The Athletic Department announced Tuesday that Troy University will come to town in 2018 for a Sept. 15 matchup. The Trojans are currently 2-0 and one of the teams to beat in the Sun Belt Conference since making the transition to FBS ranks in 2002.

The matchup rekindles a matchup from the early 2000s, as Nebraska recorded wins over Troy four times from 2001-2006. The Huskers beat Troy 42-13 in 2001, 31-16 in 2002, 30-0 in 2003 and 56-0 in 2006.

The Trojans have made bowl games five times since their last matchup with Nebraska, including two bowl wins in 2006 and 2010. compiled by Chris Heady

Senior cornerback Ciante Evans pushes forward after recording one of his two interceptions during Saturday’s game against Southern Mississippi. Nebraska recorded four interceptions in the 56-13 win over the Golden Eagles.

leading T by example

After a career day against the Golden Eagles, senior captain Ciante Evans wants his game to be something younger players look up to

story by Nedu Izu file photo by Matt Masin

here’s an old saying that goes “good leaders lead by example.”

It’s something many of the best in any field abide by, including Nebraska cornerback Ciante Evans.

Prior to the 2013 season, the Husker captain made it a personal goal to become more vocal amongst his teammates, he said. Evans wanted to be that guy going into his senior season whose plays would “speak for themselves”.

So far, in only two games he’s done just that.

With less than two minutes left before the second quarter, Evans snatched a deflected ball off of Southern Miss wide receiver Tyre’oune

Holmes and drove the 22-yard interception all the way back for a touchdown.

The senior said he didn’t plan on even touching the ball on that play.

“It was just an under route by the receiver who was running the other out in,” Evans said after Saturday’s game. “I was just going to make the tackle, but he ended up dropping it and I was right there. So that’s all she wrote for me.”

The interception was Evan’s second of the season, which has doubled his career total as a Husker, as he recorded just one interception prior to this season against Idaho State in 2012.

And that interception wasn’t the last ball he’d snag from Golden Ea-

gles’ quarterback Allan Bridgford.

The 5-foot-11-inch corner took another pass away from Southern Miss in the third quarter to halt them on yet another chance of a scoring drive. It was the third interception of the game as teammate Stanley Jean-Baptiste also picked off a pass for a touchdown in the first quarter.

“I thought Ciante made a good choice on the route which put him in position to make a play,” Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said.

The aggressive play by the defense all game long helped add fuel to the offenses play as well, Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez said.

“It was a huge boost just showing that our defense came ready to play today,” Martinez said. “I think every-

Husker golfer wins Chip-N Club Invitational Crown Bailey Neel DN With an overall score of 874, Nebraska women’s golf walks away from its first tournament with a win.

Nebraska not only dominated as a team, but also in the individual competition as well, as freshman Jordan Chael finished ninth, senior ’s Katelyn Wright finished fifth and Steffi Niesen took home the runner up, while sophomore Cassie Deeg secured the top spot.

“After our first day went so well you just never know how a team is going to react to having that big of a lead,” coach Robin Krapfl said. “I’m so proud of them because they not only maintained their lead but they increased it.”

Following Nebraska’s firstplace finish was Central Arkansas with an 892, Wichita State at 901 and Iowa trailing at 910. The other nine teams finished with at least 40 more strokes than the Huskers.

“Going into this season anyone that would ask, I would say that we are going to be one of the most improved teams in the nation,” Krapfl said. “We had such great work in the summer and just a great group of very talented student athletes.”

One of those athletes, as shown from her results in the Chip-N Club Invitation at Lincoln’s own Wilderness Ridge golf course this past weekend was Deeg, who not

because you have to either chase the competition or maintain your lead. I knew I had a good chance of winning going into today, but anything can happen.”

Deeg finished the front nine at three under par. She then bogeyed two holes in the back nine, but after chipping in a birdie on the 18th hole, she had first place locked up.

“I finished three under for the entire tournament which feels really good,” Deeg said. “I was just really calm and focused on playing my own game, three holes at a time.”

Fittingly, before the season began, Deeg sat down with her coaches to discuss her goals for the upcoming year, and, according to Krapfl, highly undersold herself.

“She told us she wanted to have a top five finish in a tour-

nament,” Krapfl said. “And we looked at her and said, ‘No Cassie you’re going to win one don’t be selling yourself short,’ because she has the ability to win, she’s a very talented golfer.”

Deeg believes that she owes her coaches for some of the improvement she has made this year, due in part to the way they have changed practices.

“We practice on the course a lot more,” Deeg said. “It’s helpful because then we know how to react in certain situations and trust ourselves to make some shots we wouldn’t have before. I think that is going to carry over into our other tournaments but it was good to come out of this first tournament on top and prove that we had it in us.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com
