Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas speaks Thursday with a full crowd at UNL’s College of Law on East Campus.

Elias Youngquist Daily nebraskan

The 270-seat Hamann Auditorium on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s East Campus overflowed with students, Nebraska judges and College of Law alumni on Thursday to hear words of wisdom from avid Husker fan and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

At noon, Thomas spoke at the Roman L. Hruska lecture in the auditorium at the UNL College of Law. Rather than present a speech to the students, Thomas instead had a panel discussion with three professors of law.

“I was encouraged to be less formal, when I came to talk, by my wife,” Thomas told the crowd.

Professors Josephine Potuto, Richard Duncan and assistant professor Eric Berger sat on either side of

Thomas and asked questions ranging from his take on the role of the court system today to his affection for RV trips.

“It was a great event for the college of law,” Berger said of Thomas’ visit. “Justice Thomas is a warm, engaging speaker with a great sense of humor and interesting points of view.”

Throughout the talk, Thomas also reflected on his nearly 20 years on the Supreme Court and the changing times.

“Some say it’s a life well spent,” Thomas said. “Well, it’s a life spent.”

Thomas frequently returned to the important quality of being humble as a judge as well as retaining a healthy skepticism rather than cynicism. As the talk

Apparel firm Annual ‘Mindset List’ explores class of 2015, generation gaps offers fair worker wages Tammy Bain

Daily Nebraskan

Alta Gracia Apparel wasn’t supposed to be a non-profit organization. But one year after the debut of the collegiate apparel company, which provides its workers in the Dominican Republic with union rights and “living wages” that are more than triple the standard, CEO Joe Bozich and COO Donnie Hodge have yet to break even.

They’re using profits from Knights Apparel, the top supplier of collegiate apparel to American universities and parent company of Alta Gracia, to make ends meet for factory costs.

It’s times like these that Bozich likes to remember why he and Hodge started the company in the first place.

“A corporation has a greater responsibility than just the bottom-line profits,” Bozich said.

“Sometimes what you want to do doesn’t necessarily make

sense on paper and there’s no proven business model to say it will work, but if you care about something enough, you have to be willing to take a risk.”

According to Rachel Taber, community education coordinator for Alta Gracia, the risk is paying off. Because, although profits remain an issue, the business model is picking up – more than 400 university bookstores including the University of Nebraska-Lincoln now carry Alta Gracia apparel, almost double last year’s clientele. Duke University leads the pack with $250,000 worth of merchandise.

“It’s unprecedented growth for a factory in its inaugural year,” Taber said. “We can grow this model as far as we can grow the desire of students to support it. It’s only a matter of getting the word out.”

For the class of 2015, music downloads have always been available. “Swiping” is for cards, not merchandise. Shaq and Kobe are bigger household names than Michael, and, if lucky, they got “Tickle-MeElmos” for their third Christmases.

Beloit College has compiled its annual “Mindset List.”

Every August since 1998, Beloit College, the oldest school in Wisconsin, compiles a list of each freshman class’ mindsets – things its generation takes for granted because it’s never been any other way.

For the average college freshman born in 1993, life has always been “like a box of chocolates” and conversations could always be shortened by “yada, yada, yada.”

The list can be entertaining, but Beloit College’s website points out its importance. The list, created by Beloit’s former public affairs director Ron Nief and humanities professor Tom McBride, was originally created to remind faculty of dated

downtown page 5

references when teaching students and didn’t take long to become a national example of how each generation sees its world.

But the context of the list itself is criticized by a few University of Nebraska-Lincoln sociology graduate students.

Anna Bellatorre, a third-year doctoral student, found it interesting how much the list emphasized pop-culture references.

She said, “It is fun to look at the list and say, ‘Oh, wow, I’m old.’”

However, she didn’t fully agree on how the list, defines “cohort.”

Bellatorre, who was familiar with the examples of generational gaps, felt a more equal mix of pop culture and world events should be used in compiling the list.

“Some kids may not even know that, also in ’93, the World Trade Centers were bombed for the first time,” she said.

Another criticism is that the list could wrongfully assume things about what a generation knows or has experienced.

One particular item on the

bea huff | daily nebraskan

list reads, “Refer to LBJ, and they might assume you’re talking about LeBron James.” But the graduate students said they thought this is wrongfully decided.

“I think it’s problematic to assume that everyone had the same media and the same capacity,” said Alexis Swendener, a second-year master’s-degree student.

Bellatorre agreed.

“It’s a slam to the younger generation to assume things that are pop-culture history based,” she said.

Bellatorre said she has read

lists from the past and admitted this year’s list had more of a pop-culture tone than past “mindsets.”

“This one it’s like, ‘Got to have a Forrest Gump reference, got to have a Seinfeld reference,’” she said.

The list does list a few worldly mindsets: American tax forms have always been available in Spanish, Japan has always been importing rice, the Communist Party has never

“It has been an honor to be in the court, but I would not pick a job in the spotlight like it,” Thomas said. “You have a calling and you have to go do it.”

Thomas has been referred to frequently as the originator of modern-day originalism or the act of interpreting the original meaning of the Constitution. He brushed this title off, asserting that the Constitution was the only thing he felt he could base his decisions on.

“I’m not a worshipper of methodology,” Thomas said. “The point is to not bring my viewpoint into it.

What else am I supposed to do? Use an Ouija board?

Chicken bones?”

When asked about the future, an air of mystery and excitement entered Thomas’ booming voice.

“We just can’t predict what’s next,” said Thomas.

“I remember when cellphones were as big as a loaf of bread and had no reception. I think technology issues will be big,

and things we couldn’t do before like decide who is born and who dies.”

From there, Thomas moved to much lighter topics, such as his pastime enjoyments and RV excursions.

“We stayed in an RV park in Sydney, Neb., and got to ride in a combine,” Thomas said. “It wasn’t a Case, but it worked.”

Thomas said he likes trips like this to the Midwest and out of the political bubble of Washington, D.C. “It’s good to not get sucked into the vortex,” Thomas said. “We do a disservice when we go to the beltway and become a Tower of Babel.”

Thomas took written questions from the audience and the conversations gradually and inevitably turned to Husker football. Even avid fans would be in shock of how much the Georgia native knows about Husker athletics.

“Every year is an undefeated year until we get robbed,” Thomas said. eliasyoungquist@ dailynebraskan.com

UNLPD arrests Lincoln man in theft of two guns Staff Report Daily Nebraskan

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police have arrested a 35-year-old man on suspicion of stealing multiple weapons from the Alpha Gamma Nu fraternity house.

Assistant Police Chief Charlotte Evans said Thursday that Chad Klein of Lincoln, had been cited and lodged for burglary after police found a 12-gauge shotgun at his residence at 4625 W. Ramsey Road Wednesday night. Klein emerged as a suspect after he

turned in a .45-caliber handgun to Lincoln police Tuesday evening, Evans said. Officers contacted the gun owner thereafter and learned a second weapon was missing, Evans said.

“He was in the house doing some contract work,” she said.

UNLPD believe Klein stole the guns from the chapter at 3248 Starr Street Sept. 7, Evans said.

Members of the fraternity were unaware the guns had been stolen until Lincoln officers showed up at the house

between 8:30 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The officers questioned the gun owner about the .45-caliber gun that Klein turned into police.

That’s when they realized the 12-gauge shotgun was still missing.

Though UNL’s policy forbids firearms on campus, Alpha Gamma Nu allowed one of their members to store his two guns in the house.

Chapter President Kenny Buhr said the fraternity members thought since the house was technically off campus, the rule didn’t apply. He said

POLICE

the guns were kept in a case in a discreet place; however, the cases were not locked and were very evidently gun cases.

“Weapons are not allowed to be secured on campus,” Evans said Wednesday. “UNLPD offers weapon storage, free of charge. It’s in the housing policy.”

Professor to help develop food-safety training abroad Dan Holtmeyer Daily nebraskan

Rolando Flores, a professor of food science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is the only American on a sixmember advisory board that will develop training to improve food safety throughout Central America and the Caribbean within the next few years.

Flores directs both the UNL food science and technology department and its food industry-oriented twin, the food processing center. He and the rest of the advisory group will build courses for the Regional Food Inspectors School, an international effort to make Central American food safer. Central American food is known for its relative risk of food-borne illness and history of low government priority.

Flores comes from a career at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in research labs, and was basically recruited to the advisory board,” Flores said.

The board had its first meeting in Miami about three weeks ago, Flores said, and this is just the latest step in his work and the work of the food processing center.

“You cannot speak about food without talking about safety,” he said. “The first meeting, basically we looked at: What are the needs? …

Who do we want to train and what do we want them to know?”

The board is trying to address a patchwork of food safety regulation throughout the Central American region, which stretches from Guatemala at Mexico’s southern border to Panama, and the Dominican Republic, Flores said. The agriculture secretaries from all of those countries are now involved. Bananas, sugar, coffee and seafood are all major exports of the area, according to the CIA World Factbook.

“The status of food safety in every one of these countries in different,” he said, and many of those country’s regulations are less stringent than the food’s markets, which include final destinations in Europe and the United States.

“There are a lot of issues in terms of health.”

Central American economies illustrate the scope of food safety’s impact well. For example, half of Guatemala’s labor force is in agriculture, according to the World Factbook, and more than onefifth of the economy in Belize is agriculture-based.

The food that makes it to the United States and other countries is relatively safe, Flores said; a larger problem is the food that stays where it was grown.

“What is domestically consumed is where the problem is,” he said, and it’s big: half of Guatemala’s workforce is in agriculture, for example, according to the World Factbook. It is also where the

training program will have its largest impact, by raising the expertise of local food inspectors and auditors to a higher, more consistent level.

“I can tell you, some of those countries don’t have anything set up like (this training),” Flores said.

Once the curriculum is developed, it will be submitted for funding to the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank or another worldwide-loaning organization, Flores said.

The school could be in place by 2013, and will work at a local scale, despite its international origin.

“There will be local universities in the program,” Flores said. “A lot of this has to be local … You need to have the support of these local organizations.”

An engineer by training, Flores brings a risk-analysis background to the board, he said. At the U.S. Department of Agriculture, he worked in risk simulation, a skill he simply transferred to food safety.

And he isn’t working alone, either. UNL’s food technology department brings a “very strong team” to the effort, a collective expertise that will become more involved as the curriculum is put into place.

“I’m kind of the general, overall picture,” he said.

Flores also brings the resources of the UNL’s food processing center, a program David Jackson, associate dean of the UNL agricultural research

division, called “unique.”

“What the food processing center was developed for was to focus on the food industry,” Jackson said. But the center also provides resources for students and faculty who have need of it, creating a “synergy” of academic and commercial interests, he said.

The center has worked with the developing school’s sponsor, the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture, for more than four years on food safety training and risk analysis, Flores said. Distance-learning courses for IICA representatives has already begun.

One session included participants in 11 countries.

Students aren’t as involved in the project, though graduate students have done much of the translation in the international training courses, Flores said. But he added that could change.

“Hopefully in the future,” Flores said. “We are just starting.”

As for himself, this is just “one more thing to do,” Flores said with a laugh. The board will meet next in November, probably in Costa Rica.

Flores stressed that his inclusion on the board illustrates the influence of UNL’s work in the area of food science.

“The impact of Nebraska is going to be very large,” he said.

smiles,” said Maritza Vargas, a union leader at the factory.

“Today we feel like we’re living the best days of our lives.”

John Kline, a professor of International Business Diplomacy at Georgetown University, wrote a report in 2010 investigating Alta Gracia.

He said the business model could have significant impact on the industry if student support produces adequate profits.

“The standards are real, and they’re being followed,” Kline said. “It’s not a handout – it’s quality work for decent pay and treatment with dignity. There’s an approach at the factory that’s different than anything I’ve seen.”

The Nebraska Bookstore currently holds four racks of Alta Gracia T-shirts and

sweatshirts, which are similar to other products in both price and quality, according to Kline. Bozich said he is confident that students will make the decision to buy Alta Gracia products and keep the company afloat, as long as they are aware of the impact of their purchase.

“It’s not about nice apparel,” Bozich said. “It’s about providing hope and a pathway out of poverty for the people that manufacture this apparel. It’s about answering that question: Can you change a life by buying a T-shirt? We need to let the consumer know that, today, there’s an option where the answer is ‘Yes.’”

danholtmeyer@ dailynebraskan.com

sweatshops: from 1 Workers at Alta Gracia enjoy benefits that are extremely rare for factories in developing countries, according to Scott Nova, executive director of Worker Rights Consortium, a labor rights watchdog for more than 175 American universities. While other factory laborers work up to 80 hours a week for as little as $150 a month with no unionization rights, Alta Gracia employees receive wages specially calculated by the WRC to cover the costs of food and water, clothing, shelter, health care and education for themselves and their families. Those wages, as well as the influence of an active union and a safe work environment, mean the workers can finally afford what they never could before.

“It is extremely hard to do

justice in words to the significance of a living wage for workers and their families,” Nova said. “It is the difference between not being able to put basic nutrition on the table for a worker’s children and being able to do so. It means being able to provide a decent and safe home for a family. It’s the ability of a worker to enable his or her children to stay in school.”

Alta Gracia is the only collegiate apparel brand that has been verified by the WRC. Aside from working safe working conditions and labor rights, wages are $510 a month, high enough to ensure loans for workers who wish to purchase homes or invest in education for their children.

“It really changed the sadness in our community to

Festival allows students to experience Chinese culture Dylan Roberson Daily Nebraskan

This Saturday kicks off the annual Chinese Cultural Festival, sponsored by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Confucius Institute. This on-campus event, lasting through Oct. 6, is an opportunity to learn about Chinese culture. UNL has had the festival since 2008 as a way of encouraging cultural diversity.

Events highlighting Chinese food, speech, entertainment and more are planned for the celebration.

“For many students, without physically walking away from UNL campus, they can experience a celebration of Chinese culture in Nebraska during this festival,” said Rachel Zeng, executive associate director of the Confucius Institute at UNL. “By observing and participating in some cultural activities, students will know more about China, its people and culture.”

There are about 1,000 Chinese students at UNL, according to UNL’s Institutional Research and Planning.

“To help mutual understanding between American students and Chinese students on UNL’s campus, this cultural festival will serve as a friendship vehicle to take American students for a short tour on Chinese culture,” Zeng said. “To know about China, one of the biggest countries with a long history, has become one of their interests.”

Students can participate in a speech competition, an event where non-native Chinese speakers can compete to broaden their ability to speak the language and have the potential to win prizes in the process.

Zeng said the speech competition and the performances have been favorites, but “all events have equally attracted people’s attentions in the past.”

There will also be a Chinese Food Festival, sponsored by the Lincoln Chinese Cultural Association and the UNL Chinese Students and Scholars Association. The food festival will take place on Sept. 25 and will feature traditional Chinese dishes.

Other events include a table tennis competition, the Farmer’s Painting Exhibition at the Rotunda Gallery in the Nebraska

Union and the Chinese Film Festival, which will be hosted by the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center.

“Cultures are important,” said Tiffani Myrick, a sophomore

pre-health major. “They give us a view into other people’s backgrounds and lifestyles.”

Admission for the festival is free and events are plentiful. There will also be ample

opportunities to win prizes.

Survey: Employers to hire more grads, raise salary Ryan kopelke daily nebraskan

With the economy in crisis, many college students, especially soonto-be graduates, are faced with the reality that the skills they have worked so hard to achieve, along with the money paid to achieve them, may not be enough to break into the job market. For the graduates of the class of 2011, however, a window of opportunity has opened, allowing them a better chance to enter the job market than previous years.

According to the fall National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) survey, employers plan on increasing the number of recent college graduates hired by 19.3 percent and the average salary of all bachelor’s degree-level positions is expected to increase by 4.8 percent when compared to the 2010-2011 fiscal year. This is the highest projected increase in hiring since 2007.

Christine Timm, associate director of Career Services, pointed out that the combination of retirees and slow hirings has been troublesome for graduates.

“For the last two years no one had been hiring,” Timm said. “That, coupled with the

retirement of baby boomers, has left the recent graduates in a better position than graduates of previous years.

“The remainder of the stimulus money could have helped companies be able to hire, but it’s more likely that the recent hirings came more as replacement than economic growth.”

The NACE survey also reports that only 24 percent of students who applied for a job had one lined up by the time they graduated in late 2010. For those that found one, hard work and networking was key.

“I searched for a job for three months before I found a position at Southwest (Airlines),” said Eva Gautam, a recent UNL graduate.

“I don’t know if I expected it to be hard.”

“I mean, I definitely did not expect to get my dream job right out of college, but I had plans A, B and C, along with contingencies for them.”

Gautam was one of the lucky ones. With 76 percent of students not having jobs lined up by graduation, and 59 percent not receiving offers as of the NACE survey release, many graduates are beginning to feel the pinch.

“It’s scary to think about how

little is out there,” said Julia Kreikemeier, a junior agriculture education major. “So few places are hiring in general that if you are looking for a specific field you really have to stand out.

That’s why I am looking for internships early, the earlier you get noticed, the better.”

In response to this harsher economic climate and the increase in students seeking their services, Career Services has increased efforts to equip students for the job market. From freshmen to seniors, and resume readings to mock interviews, Career Services is helping students bridge the gap between scholastics and employment.

“The negative part of the job search is that there are people that are qualified for positions but were unemployed because of the recession,” Timm said.

“The pool of competition is smaller and many students are aware of this making them nervous. At the Career Center we stage mock interviews, give information on career fairs, provide resume critiques and networking advice to give students a better chance of success in the market.”

From a networking perspective, UNL has numerous outlets

with which the student body can attempt to catch the eye of prospective employers. Husker Hire Link allows students to post resumes and be connected to previously screened employers from across the country, “Around the time that the economy really began to affect graduates, we realized that we had to step up our networking,” Timm said. “By using Husker Hire, LinkedIn and the networking tools at the Career Center, students are leaving more prepared to network themselves and work with potential employers.”

The work will be harder for college graduates. Where a college degree was once an assurance of success in the job market, it no longer automatically ensures a job only consideration. Employers are looking for the best and the brightest from around the world forcing students to compete at higher levels than previous years.

“The best advice I can give is to work hard,” Gautam said.

“You can’t slack off because they are hiring only the best of the best where ever you are applying.”

As Bellatorre looked up her own class’ mindset, she was able to point out her own relations and contradictions to the list. She was able to remember the Reagan presidency despite that year’s “Mindset List” saying otherwise. Regardless, the students had a good laugh at how “old” they felt, and the generation gap between then

and now was apparent.

As for this generation, the class of 2015 has no recollection of George H.W. Bush being in office and are young to enough to call Ferris Bueller dad. The Sears Big Book is an antique and they’ve, “been there, done that.”

mindset: from 1 been the official party of Russia along with a few others.

Despite students’ criticisms, the list has become almost an icon of its own.

The Beloit College website has a page specifically designated for the “Mindset List,” it has its own website and the list has its own Facebook page. All receive

more than 1 million hits per year.

The list even inspired a book, written by Nief and Keefer, “The Mindset Lists of American History: From Typewriters to Text Messages, What Ten Generations of Americans Think Is Normal.” The book takes 10 generations and gives each its own “mindset.”

alcohol: from 1 should be allowed to drink whenever and wherever I want.”

When asked if the University Police ever enforced the dry-campus policy or cited them in all their years of attending football games, Truckenbrod, Russell and the surrounding tailgaters agreed that the police are more relaxed about alcohol consumption during football gamedays.

“They only bother you if you go around acting like an idiot,” Russell said.

Charlotte Evans, assistant chief of University Police disagreed with Russell’s statement.

“We do not take a relaxed position,” Evans said. “Our lack of response on those days is solely because of our scarce resources. We just don’t have the staff to cover every single university parking lot that is being tailgated in.

“Officers are urged to look for the signs and will always ask the tailgaters for voluntary compliance of dumping their alcohol.”

On football gamedays, massive amounts of people arrive on campus in one concentrated area – the stadium. Because of that, University Police brings in not only the officers that are working those Saturdays, but also on-call officers and security from other agencies.

“We have to keep a very close watch,” Evans said. “There are a lot of people congested in the stadium at those times, and we have to make sure no one is acting irresponsibly. “ Some duties the combined forces of the Lincoln Police Department and the UNLPD are in charge of on gamedays include traffic direction, gate operations and screenings and security throughout the general area.

“When it comes to alcohol use,” Evans said, “many things can affect the number of intoxicated people trying to get into the games. It can range from the time of the game to the temperature of the day.

“A night game tends to bring in more intoxicated individuals. Thankfully, the screening we do at the stadium gates has really helped keep those who are acting irresponsibly from getting in.”

There are about 25 to 30 people removed or denied entry from the stadium because of intoxication, said Butch Hug, associate athletic director of Facilities and Events Management.

“Our resources are limited so we have to use what little we have to make sure people are acting responsibly,” Hug said. “I would personally like to see more responsibility from the people attending these games.”

The NU Board of Regents established UNL’s dry-campus

policy in 1990, forbidding the consumption and possession of alcoholic beverages. This meant that if someone were in possession of alcohol while on campus, there would be serious repercussions – especially if the individual is underage. Many Big Ten colleges have similar dry-campus policies, including: Purdue University, Northwestern University, the University of Minnesota, Indiana University, the University of Iowa and Penn State University. However, not all policies are campus-wide like UNL’s. Indiana, Northwestern, Minnesota and Penn State even offer an exception to dry-campus rules on gameday for tailgating.

At Penn State, gamedays keep Tyrone Parham, chief of the Penn State University Police, very busy.

“Our parking lot’s open up for tailgating at 8 a.m.,” Parham said, “and some of our games start at 3 p.m. or even 8 p.m. This means that fans have the opportunity to be out drinking from anywhere between six to 12 hours.

We’ve had fans screaming and fighting each other while intoxicated. We’ve also had to escort several of those fans to the hospital.”

At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a similar problem is occurring on football gamedays.

“We’re constantly struggling with people consuming alcohol during football games,” said Ervin Cox, director of Student Assistance and Judicial Affairs. “Although we allow drinking in certain areas on campus, the consumption of alcohol is strictly prohibited in the stadium.”

Cox said fans are constantly trying to smuggle alcohol into the stadium.

“Intoxicated fans are always causing problems for our security,” Cox said. “We’ve actually had to escort an individual out on a stretcher. A large majority of these tailgaters are only here for the partying when they should be here to watch the game and show their Badger spirit.”

Although Evans, assistant chief for UNLPD, understands the problem of alcohol in relation to the football games, she said she believes most of the people attending the games are just there to have a good time.

“The massive share of our fan base is grilling a burger and having fun,” Evans said.

“Gamedays are a family environment where people are just out having a safe, fun, enjoyable time. Not only that, but the fans are often the ones letting us know if something is happening that shouldn’t.

“They really do assist us and we appreciate anyone who takes the time to respect the law.”

CORRECTION

On Sept. 15, 2011, the Daily Nebraskan printed an inaccurate headline stating, “UNL acquires Native American culture center.” While the University of Nebraska-Lincoln purchased land along Military Road, the property on 10th Street and Military Road on which the Indian Center sits is outside university property and regulation. As the accompanying article states, the university has not acquired the Indian Center. The article says that though the Indian Center is owned by the Native American community, it is not a Native American reservation. Lincoln Police Department and University Police cannot enter the land without cause because it is private property.

Digitalization alters entertainment Music scene uses new resources in promotion of up-and-coming artists

T

here’s a storm brewing in Brooklyn.

It’s a multicultural trio of liberal arts majors looking to infect your veins and your speakers with a brand of music that would make the top 40 sob its eyes out a few times over. And it’s coming to a computer near you.

This musical sucker punch, clerically known as Das Racist, a shortened, phonetic pronunciation of “that’s racist,” is taking web 2.0 by storm. It’s Hulksmashing all of the unsuspecting pop icons trapped in its unrelenting path of satire, character assassination and non-conformism all the same. Featuring Brooklynites Himanshu “Heems” Suri, Victor Vazquez and joined by hype man Ashok Kondabolu, the satirical rap group is determined to fill America’s ears with a hyper-referential interweb-inspired brand of hip-hop that leaves little of plebeian society unscathed.

And the so-called bourgeoisie?

Forget about it.

Das Racist dedicated an entire mixtape to unseating the societal curmudgeon colloquially known as “the man.” Appropriately titled “Sit Down, Man,” the tape sees a guest known as Dapwell A recite the names of prominent societal figures like Ben Stein, Glenn Beck, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, even Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, each name followed by a looped “sit down, man.”

It’s safe to say that the common hip-hop taboo of “namedropping” isn’t a concern to these guys. Nothing really is.

Heems and Vazquez are a prime examples of a would-be astronomical longshot-turneddigital music success story. In a different age, this is music that would sit on the back of store shelves collecting dust, if it were to hit stores at all. If it weren’t for “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell,” the single that propelled the group to YouTube fame, Das Racist’s satirical rants probably wouldn’t have made it past Jamaica Ave. in Brooklyn, where the famed symbiosis of culture and cuisine occurs.

Lucky for us, the group found widespread Internet exposure, and, even better, they have a message.

Because more-so than a modern-day exhibition of “joke-rap,” Das Racist is a musical protest of the industry itself. They’re taking a stand against the monolithic record companies who sponsor the Lil’ Waynes and Gucci Manes of the industry. They’re lambasting those who recycle old material, those who continue to preach a mantra of sexism and self-indulgent hubris.

It’s a call for real artists to stand up against the corporate, money-first mindset of the record industry. It’s a web-based musical protest of the same companies who proclaimed the digitization of music to be the downfall of the industry itself.

In a way, the record companies were right. CNN reported in 2009 that the music industry’s sales were cut in half, down to about $7 billion from the previous decade’s $14.6 billion figure. Mostly as a result of digitization and the increasing popularity of online

faiz saddiqui downloading, the sales figure had plunged. The new millennium marked the end of an age where record sales were the sole determining factor of commercial success. It’s an unfortunate fate for the CEOs and big-time artists who now have to work on the road and produce more material than before. But for the upstart college-educated rappers in Brooklyn?

It’s a dream.

The further digitization of music is paving the way for thousands of artists like Das Racist to showcase their infinite wit and minimal talent without having to deal with the approval of the perceived corporate schmucks at profiteering record labels. It might have meant the end for some of the record labels, but to the homegrown independent artist, this was just the beginning.

A study of the music industry in Norway, where an estimated 87 percent of the population is online, found that the number of artists had increased by 28 percent during the time period from 1999 to 2009, when most largescale digitization occurred.

The Internet has bred thousands of new artists, and with new music streaming services and blogs popping up everyday, that number will only increase.

Rather than discouraging Internet downloading, artists have begun to use these as promotional tools by pre-releasing songs and albums for streaming purposes in hopes of increasing record sales later.

It’s a familiar tune for Das Racist, who last week pre-released their debut studio album “Relax” to the newly introduced streaming service Spotify. For a group that has the Internet to thank for its existence in the first place, it seemed a fitting promotion.

Because without hip-hop blogs and YouTube, it’s safe to say that Heems would still be working in a bank and Ashok would be on the road promoting for his brother, begging comedy clubs to listen to Hari’s act. Instead, the trio comprised of Indian and Hispanic-Americans can continue to entertain scores of fans with such profound words as “I’m at the Pizza Hut, I’m at the Taco Bell; I’m at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell,” and more sophisticated critiques of society as a whole.

To old man record company’s cries that there’s no place in the industry for college-educated, intellectual hip-hop, that rappers can’t be successful unless they’re black males, gang-affiliated and jacked — or Eminem — the answer is simple.

Just tell him Das Racist and maybe he’ll drop dead once and for all.

Digitalization threatens enjoyment of childhood films, books

T

he digitalization of media might be convenient, but nothing is more annoying than looking up “Dragon Heart” on Netflix and realizing it comes on DVD only.

By the way, “Dragon Heart” is a movie that came out in 1996 about a dragon! Who knew? It’s been years since I’ve seen it, but, boy, do I remember loving it!

Netflix recently raised its prices, making streaming cheaper and charging extra for DVD-only movies and TV shows. I was a fan of the lower streaming prices, but it seems that many favorite shows and movies are out of reach. For example, Disney movies! Want to watch “Snow White”? NO! Want to watch “Fox and the Hound”? NO! You can’t because Netflix said so.

Side note: I want to know why Disney movies go into a vault. They go into the darn thing a tape and come out a DVD! It’s magic! That vault better be careful or one day the DVDs will disappear and escape to the Internet.

Although there are many great things to be said for digitalization, including savings on both cost and trees, it may not be keeping up with demand.

Music has been digitalized for years now. Thousands of songs are added to iTunes every day. Hundreds of thousands of illegal downloads find their ways onto iPods and Zunes.

Music digitalization also took off faster than movies and books.

Today, someone buying a CD is probably either buying it for a collection or is a 3 year old who doesn’t have an iPod yet. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if a 3 year old had an iPod and knew how to download illegally.

Movies have come a long way, but for some reason buying a DVD is a normal thing, unlike buying a VHS. Have you tried to buy a VHS lately? Where did they all go? Why are people giving me weird looks when I ask where the VCRs are? Exactly.

DVDs and DVD players aren’t yet a thing in the past, but are starting to get replaced by BluRay discs and players. I suppose now DVDs know how the VHS tapes felt.

Digitalization is threatening the future of DVDs and Blu-Rays even as I write! Most people are totally OK with that. Who wouldn’t be? Blu-Rays are way too expensive, and DVDs are hanging in there like, “Hey guys we still matter! We still cost $20 new.” Renting movies isn’t fun anymore, if you can find a place to rent one. Places like Blockbuster and Hollywood Video are practically nonexistent, thanks to Netflix. Don’t get me wrong, Netflix is cheaper and more convenient than renting a movie from a video store; there are no late fees. That being said, it still makes me sad.

Remember being a little kid on a Friday night? Your mom or dad would look at you after supper and say, “Hey, let’s go rent a movie!” This would leave you sitting there ready to burst with excitement at the thought of picking out a movie. Of course, you never got the candy or

carrie zepf popcorn that was offered along with the videos, but come on, that didn’t matter. The walls of movies contained endless options and it sent a rush to your brain so intense you would practically pass out.

OK, so maybe it wasn’t that intense for everyone, but renting movies rocked. Even as you got older and renting a movie with your parents turned into renting one with a group of friends or a significant other, the trip down to the video store was always fun. It sort of made you work for it if you wanted to watch a movie. Anyway, at least when you rented a movie you knew what you were getting into. You would go to the video store, find a movie, bring it home, watch it and bring it back. Netflix has such a wide selection you find yourself looking for an hour just to give up and watch TV. It hardly ever streams new releases or old, awesome movies like, “Dragon Heart.”

I’ll admit, most of the time Netflix is awesome. I said it.

However, it’s time the movies I want to watch get rotated into the streaming videos if they want to charge me more to get the movies sent to me. Guess what, Netflix? No! I won’t pay!

Let me watch “Dragon Heart!”

Ugh! What’s also really annoying is the fact that bookstores are dying. Excuse me? How dare you, digitalization! I will get you for this! Kindles are cool. That being said, I hate you, Kindles! You are convenient, but just go away!

Reading for leisure isn’t about convenience. It’s about curling up in a big comfy chair with a cup of coffee and wasting an entire afternoon getting lost in the PAGES of a book. Not the screens of a book, the physical PAGES! What are kids going to do without books? Will they be out of luck if they can’t afford the digital books?

You can’t drink coffee while reading a Kindle, either! What if you spill!? You’re out money! At least the book will dry. I would give an example but I don’t have one. Want to know why?

Because the book will be fine!

Most people agree digital media is a good thing, but they are realizing they took the killing of trees for granted.

Although it might save some money for the average book fanatic, for the most part, it’s disappointing that the hunt through shelves and shelves of books is going away. Basically, if digital media wants to replace the fun of reading a hardcover book, or renting a movie from a video store, it better start keeping up with demand. Stream my movies and invent a coffee shield!

UNL unplugged stories by kelsey haugen | art by lauren vuchetich Midwest Acoustic Fest to feature independent artists, free show and a fun atmosphere for students and residents alike

I

t’s time to travel back to the 1960s, an era filled with peace, tie-dye and revolutionary music, because there is going to be an acoustic show, like the `60s Woodstock, called Midwest Acoustic Fest. This brandnew event was put together by the University Program Council (UPC) and Campus Night Life (CNL). The outdoor show will feature three artists: Jay Nash, Steve Means and Kyshona Armstrong.

President of UPC, Jason Dunn, a senior film studies major, is excited for this new event.

“We don’t get many

chances to get outside,” Dunn said. “We wanted to create a fun, relaxing event while the weather is nice.”

Dunn hopes that a lot of students will attend, along with some walk-by traffic.

“We’re encouraging everyone to come,” he said.

Graduate assistant for CNL, Katy Reising, a secondyear graduate higher educational administration major, enjoys working with CNL so that she can help create events like this one.

“We take ideas for events and help turn them into realities,” Reising said.

She is especially looking forward to the Midwest

vital characteristic of a great musician is having the ability to interact with the audience during a performance. Musician Jay Nash, who has performed with artists like Sara Bareilles, Katy Perry and Maroon 5, has a knack for this, along with his continually rising talent for singing, songwriting and playing guitar. This East Coast native will be taking the stage at the Midwest Acoustic Fest as he performs his songs, with his unique and rustic voice, for anyone who wants to listen.

“My songs are like my diary that I get to share with people,” Nash said. “People get to connect to them in

their own way.”

Nash understands that his lyrics are key to connecting with his listeners, as well as to expressing himself, which is why he is dedicated to writing all of his songs on his own.

“Writing the songs is one of the most important parts,” he said.

Though Nash has already dabbled in fame, he hasn’t signed a conventional record deal; Nash skipped this step by choice.

“In this day and age, there’s more of an opportunity for musicians to maintain independence without a label. I get to maintain more creative control without one,” Nash said.

Breakfast restaurant opens second Lincoln location Adrienne Anderson daily nebraskan

In 1945, when Betty MacDonald wrote her memoir “The Egg and I,” about her adventures as the wife of a chicken farmer in the Washington peninsula, chances are she didn’t expect restaurants with the same name to crop up around the Midwest. Now people can not only read about MacDonald’s hilarious incidents on the chicken farm, they can also eat at a restaurant of the same name.

The Egg & I is a breakfast-brunch combo restaurant that serves a wide variety of egg-based dishes, from skillets to burritos, other traditional breakfast foods and an assortment of sandwiches and salads for lunch. Open seven days a week (Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday through Sunday, 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.), The Egg & I prides itself on being a high-class, oneof-a-kind breakfast eatery.

Indeed, they hold up their end of the bargain – cups of fruit come served on a lace doily.

As of Sept. 12, The Egg & I officially expanded to include two locations in Lincoln. The first on 70th and A streets, according to Director of Operations Michael Roberts, was such a success they decided to go ahead and open another branch.

We had planned on waiting a little longer, but with the success over there, it just felt like Lincoln needed another one.” michael roberts egg

& i director of operations

“We had planned on waiting a little longer, but with the success over there, it just felt like Lincoln needed another one,” Roberts said.

“A lot of our guests suggested the downtown area because there weren’t a lot of breakfast-type foods that are available seven days a week.”

To prepare for the opening of the second store located at 16th and R streets, The Egg & I joined with the Food Bank of Lincoln to hold a practice run. “We invited people to come and try us out,” Roberts said.

“We raised $2,500, about $14,000 worth of buying power at the Food Bank.”

As for the food, it is the typical Village Inn-esque restaurant, complete with the predictable breakfast combos – eggs, pancakes, bacon, fruit, yogurt. The food is good, nothing too over or under-cooked, and delivered fast. In the meantime, restaurant-goers can chat with the wait staff, who spend much of their time just wandering around the main part of the dining hall

Nash’s music is a unique blend of styles that he makes his own because it doesn’t fit any specific genre.

“I try to avoid classifying it, but I was influenced by artists like The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan and Dave Matthews Band,” Nash said.

Though Nash enjoys playing his style of music without a conventional record label, he keeps an open mind about opportunities for record deals.

The Crave menu features a standard hamburger and cheeseburger as well as six specialty burgers. The hamburger and cheeseburger offer the usual free add-ons, including jalapenos. For an additional charge, cheese, bacon, grilled onions or mushrooms, and even a fried egg, can be added.

Besides the Hollenbeck meat, onions and tomatoes, when available, come from local farms, and the buns are made at the local Le Quartier Bakery.

‘Scarface’ iterations tell similar stories FACE OFF

Tom Helberg One of America’s most famous gangsters, Al Capone, was the inspiration for two separate movies chronicling the career of “Scarface.”

Howard Hawks and Richard Rosson directed the 1932 film, and Brian De Palma directed the one from 1983.

De Palma’s film opens as Castro opens a Cuban harbor and sends 125,000 Cuban refugees to reunite with their families in the United States. Amongst them is Tony Montana (Al Pacino), an ambitious thug who wants it all. After working at a small-time Cuban food stand, Tony falls into a job delivering money for drugs.

The deal goes wrong, but Tony comes out on top with the cash and the coke.

He and his friend Manny (Steven Bauer) are taken under the wing of drug-lord Frank Lopez (Robert Loggia), who tells Tony that he can have a long criminal career if he plays it cool. But that isn’t enough for Tony, as he wants wealth, power and the boss’s girl, Elvira (Michelle Pfeiffer). Tony also protects his sister, Gina (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), from men, especially Manny. He must keep his sister’s innocence intact. De Palma’s film is scripted by Oliver Stone, and it’s one of his earlier works. The film’s visual appeal sometimes takes a backseat to the strong script, as De Palma eschews some of his signature visual split screens and other trickery.

Hawks’ film focuses on the bodyguard, Tony Camonte, (Paul Muni). He protects Johnny (Osgood Perkins), and the two are not afraid to kill anyone that gets in their way. Tony continually makes his own decisions, and the two soon realize that their working methods are not compatible.

Both films follow essentially the same loose plot outline and some of the beats are nearly identical.

However, there are significant changes in setting and tone. Hawks’ film takes place in the streets of Chicago, and the booze racket is the criminal outlet of choice during prohibition. De Palma’s film updates from alcohol to cocaine and sets his story in Florida.

De Palma’s film is wild and drenched in excess in all aspects of production. At times it can all become a bit cartoon-like, though that is one of the film’s signature qualities. Pacino’s performance is way over the top, and that fits perfectly with the world De Palma created.

In Hawks’ film, Muni plays Tony as a little more cool and collected, though he loses it in the final scene.

The level of madness near the end is similar in both Pacino and Muni’s work.

The 1932 film sets a violent tone that its sequel runs with. Though both films have a high body count, the 1983 film adds more gore.

The original was startlingly violent for its time, and the update seems fitting. The brilliant visual motif of the letter “X” appears just before a character’s death in both films. A billboard outside Tony’s home that proclaims, “The World is Yours,” is used as both a personal mantra and as an ironic end to both men.

De Palma apparently has great respect for the original film, dedicating his film to Hawks and Rosson. It’s hard to know what they would make of this, and hard to weigh the films against each other. Both films are products of their respective times, and each succeed in telling an entertaining story of one man’s rise and fall.

Culture shines in ‘Passione’ Tom Helberg Daily Nebraskan

Filmed on location in Naples, Italy, “Passione” documents the rich Neapolitan musical history and where it is today. Writer, director and actor John Turturro clearly has a great love for the city, and this film is his valentine to it.

Though it mixes elements from many types of films, it is essentially a performance movie. Twenty-some musical numbers from contemporary artists are staged in the streets of Naples. Peppe Barra, Pietra Montecorvino, James Senese and Fausto Cigliano, among others, make appearances.

Vintage television clips are also thrown into the mix, documenting the city’s musical heritage. Sergio Bruni, Enrico Caruso and Renato Carosone all perform in archival footage. These sequences

give us a useful lens with which to view the contemporary artists.

Not easily classifiable, the film is a mix of genres. It is peppered with documentarylike interviews and archival footage, strewn with scenic locales from a travelogue and, of course, filled with music performances. Some scenes don’t work as well as others, but the tone is consistent enough to hold it together.

As I was unfamiliar with the music and singers, it took me a while to settle into the film’s groove, though that may have more to do with Turturro’s bombastic and flamboyant sense of direction rather than the music itself.

Some of the skits Turturro and company cook up are almost too silly. Thankfully, none of the segments are very long and another song

Blue comes with a pocket of blue cheese on the inside.

Toppings include white cheddar, chives and lettuce. The blue cheese was flavorful, but not overly strong, and the meat itself is high quality. The burger is rather messy and some of the stuffing oozed out while I was eating. I went through plenty of napkins.

The Stuffed Pepper Jack is filled with pepper jack cheese and jalapeno cream cheese, and topped with chipotle mayonnaise and lettuce. I was astounded by the flavor; it might be my favorite burger Lincoln has to offer. The combination of the chipotle mayonnaise with jalapeno cream cheese really set this burger apart.

We also split a HF Crave Trio ($6), which includes each available side item: waffle fries, sweet potato fries and cheese bites. Separately, side items range from $1.50 to $3.

The waffle fries are nicely seasoned, a rare surprise for French fries. The sweet potato fries are quite good, for those with the taste for it. The cheese bites are a highlight of the side items with a Lucky Bucket beer batter outside and Jisa’s white cheddar cheese inside. The battered exterior is light and reminiscent of funnel cakes, only made of beer.

Each side item comes with one dip made in-house. Options include honey mustard, chipotle mayo, creamy garlic and ranch.

available for $5 and include either a grilled cheese sandwich or a hot dog. Beverages include fountain drinks ($1.50), bottled water ($1.50), pop ($2.25) and beer ($3.50).

The shop’s atmosphere is modern and classy. The design is very clean, with metal tables and chairs. Burgers are served on metal trays and sides come in metal buckets. Walking in the store, one might mistake its look for that of Chipotle.

Around $10 for a burger and

fries with no drink might seem a bit pricey, however, the food is high quality. The sides are all delicious, and Crave features one of my new, all-time favorite burgers: the stuffed pepper jack burger. The taste and standard of the food make Crave a big winner.

Turturro and cinematographer Marco Pontecorvo shoot the city in golden hues. The buildings look great, whether they’re crumbling and covered in graffiti or modern day palaces. Close-ups on the singers are intimate, startling and look great on the big screen.

Turturro is a tour guide of sorts for the film, also injecting cultural commentary and dancing in some musical numbers. He introduces the city as the melting pot of Italy, blending cultures and musical styles in a city of contradictions where a lover may cheat on you one day for you to come crawling back the next. For him, the music and city are inseparable. After appearing in “Transformers:

said.

By working independently, Nash is able to choose what songs or albums he wants to create without being told what to do. It is important for Nash to continue to work this way if he wants to maintain his musical independence.

“I make the records I want to make,” Nash said.

And it’s definitely working for him. Nash has had 10 album releases and has sold more than 25,000 albums without a conventional record deal. His latest solo album, entitled “Diamonds and Blood,” was released last March.

Since then, Nash has released two collaborative projects, and has spent this year touring.

His favorite thing about performing is “the

opportunity to connect with people in a way that you don’t get to in everyday life.”

It is likely that Nash is inspiration enough for aspiring musicians to continue to work their way up. But for those people, Nash’s biggest piece of advice is to “surround yourself with people that inspire you.” That is exactly what he did, and it got him far.

Nash said he is looking forward to the Midwest Acoustic Fest because he likes playing for college students in an on-campus atmosphere. He hopes many will attend, enjoy his music and begin to become fans. With an artist this original and talented, it’s likely this will happen. kelseyhaugen@ dailynebraskan.com

Baseball story reveals humanity behind the game Grade

Cameron Mount Daily Nebraskan

Early into “Moneyball,” where a group of veteran baseball scouts crowd around a table and spout clichés like, “a good lookin’ kid,” “strong arm” and “real sharp on the uptake, lot of potential there.” It’s the romantic baseball adages that have defined the sport for a century, but in “Moneyball,” it’s the sentimentalists that find themselves on the defensive.

After all, as Brad Pitt’s character Billy Beane reminds one of them, countless high school seniors are looked straight in the eye every recruiting season and earnestly assured they’re the next big star.

Yet few make it big, few insights are gained, and the cycle repeats. It might be a culturally unifying, crowdrousing pastime of a cycle, but the logistics are based more in superstition than results. Based on the groundbreaking 2003 book of the same name, the true story of Beane’s analytic reinventing of baseball as general manager of the 2002 Oakland Athletics could have easily fallen flat as a straightforward biopic. But “Moneyball” has enough style and complexity to make fans out of the baseball-indifferent,

disbelief and anger come from. The always-excellent Philip Seymour Hoffman plays the Athletics’ understandably surly manager forced to go against decades of devoted experience.

Miller is then given the seemingly impossible task of crafting a heartfelt film about how baseball can be won with a calculator. He succeeds, amazingly, by never taking at face value that Beane is the misunderstood voice of reason.

Though Pitt is perfect as Beane, he is constantly upstaged by characters like his daughter (Kerris Dorsey), ex-wife’s husband (Spike Jonze) and coworkers, who reveal Beane’s insecurities and force him to prove his humanity.

I hesitate to call “Moneyball” an important sports movie only because of its obvious similarities to “The Social Network.” Though often funnier and just as compelling, too little is done by Miller to give the film an artistic edge of his own. Of course, the story and subject matter occupy entirely different worlds, so the comparisons never impede on enjoyment. But breaking new ground would have opened up Oscar considerations that now seem like a long shot, so it’s a shame that

and possibly even the actively opposed.

“The Social Network” of baseball is an almost uncomfortably accurate description of “Moneyball.” Like David Fincher in “The Social Network,” director Bennett Miller spends the bulk of his movie centered on one-andone dialogue that should tank on paper, but, with the right cast, makes every word sting. Both movies zero in on a cultural phenomenon suddenly ruled by the geeks and pick it apart bit by bit. Despite full admission of the economics of the enterprises, both movies manage to reveal the unlikely humanity beneath the numbers.

For “Moneyball,” this is an especially messy goal. The premise involves Ivy League graduate Peter Brand’s (Jonah Hill) advice to Beane that the only element that determines success is simply how often each player gets on base. According to Brand, players are ignored and undervalued by millions of dollars because of factors that mean nothing to the final score.

That might seem like an obvious concept, but when Beane’s once star-studded team is overhauled into an “island of misfit toys,” it’s easy to see where the

more wasn’t done to realize a more distinct style. And while Beane’s backstory is necessary to understanding his motivations, it’s covered a little too thoroughly for a character that doesn’t benefit from the sympathy.

Beane doubts the significance of his insights to the very end, a tricky plot point that could have undercut the entire theme. But the film never glosses over the tough implications. Skeptics like myself who had never heard of the concept of moneyball will almost certainly be convinced by the movie’s parting thoughts involving legacy and the Boston Red Sox. And in a possible first for sports movies, the story is more likely to alienate tradition-based baseball fans rather than movie fans indifferent to sports. For that, “Moneyball” succeeds on an unconventional, entertaining and surprisingly thought-provoking level. cameronmount@ dailynebraskan.com

Washington Huskies

No. 11 NU Cornhuskers

1. Contributions from young players Saturday’s game will mark the first time the Huskies play on the road in 2011, which means, for many young players, it will be the first hostile environment they endure. Washington relies on many young players that will be expected, and needed, to contribute Saturday. Offensively, lineman Colin Porter, receiver Kasen Williams and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins will all have to block out the distractions of a raucous crowd. Defensively, new starting outside linebackers John Timu and Princeton Fuimaono will be looked upon to keep Taylor Martinez from breaking any big plays. If these young players get rattled, the Huskies could be looking at a long game.

1. Utilize tight ends Nebraska tight ends Ben Cotton and Kyler Reed have combined for only five catches this season, but they’ve come at key moments. Cotton’s first-quarter 20-yard reception against Fresno State set up a Taylor Martinez one-yard touchdown run. Reed’s consecutive 53- and 8-yard grabs in the fourth led to a Rex Burkhead score. Reed proved that when matched up one-on-one with a safety or linebacker, he can produce a big play. Cotton, known mostly for his blocking ability, has also greatly improved his pass-catching. He entered 2011 with only 77 career receiving yards, but already has 47 in two games this season.

2. Contain Taylor Martinez It’s no secret that Martinez is fast – really fast. The third-leading rusher in the NCAA won’t beat too many teams over the top with his arm, but that hasn’t stopped him from running right through any game plan defensive coordinators throw his way. For the Huskies to win the game, it is necessary to keep Martinez from escaping the pocket and ripping off the big run. If the Huskies are able to keep their assignments and not hesitate when pursuing Martinez, they should be fine. But when that starts to unravel, so will the team.

3. Strong special teams play The Huskies struggled to put away nonBCS teams Eastern Washington and Hawaii in their first two games, and the key to victory has largely been in part to big performances from their special teams units. In a game in which UW has to perform well on all levels if it wants to get the win, the difference could very well be special teams. In week one against Eastern Washington, the Huskies had three field goals 40 yards or longer, two fumble recoveries on punt coverage and a couple of booming punts that were the difference. In week two against Hawaii, UW blocked two PATs and a long kickoff return, which were largely responsible for the win. If the Huskies want to go 3-0, they will again need big plays from special teams.

-compiled by Josh Liebeskind, Sports editor at the (Washington) daily

2. Run between the tackles Nebraska’s offensive line is young and still maturing. The majority of the Huskers’ long runs this season have come on outside runs via the option. But the line needs to continue the confidence it started to build during the final drive on NU’s 42-29 win against Fresno State last weekend. Nebraska had a six-point lead with about five minutes to play and could use a clock-draining drive. NU ran the ball with Burkhead six straight times, picking up two first downs, before Martinez finished the drive with a 46-yard run. What’s the way to keep that confidence growing? Line up and trust the offensive line to push the Huskies around a little bit.

3. Create Turnovers The Huskers are dead last in the Big Ten in turnover margin this season, currently at minus two (-2). NU’s own fumbles haven’t been helpful, but Nebraska has just two takeaways this season. One came on a forced fumble on the same play Taylor Martinez threw an interception. The other was a Cameron Meredith interception on a tipped pass. Last season, the Huskers’ secondary made life miserable for opposing quarterbacks, especially Washington’s Jake Locker.

If Nebraska wants to repeat the success it had in Seattle last season, winning the turnover battle will be critical.

Senior Madeleine Geibert will lead a group of four Huskers to Texas for the Midland Inviational this weekend.

Light on practice time, NU to compete in Texas Faiz Siddiqui daily Nebraskan

Conditioning is the name of the game for the Nebraska women’s tennis team.

With one tournament victory already in the books, the team heads to Texas this weekend to compete in the Midland Invitational.

Four Huskers, senior Madeleine Geibert, juniors Patricia Veresova and Stefanie Weinstein and sophomore Frederike Puthoff will take the court Friday in hopes of improving their team’s fall season ranking and establishing the Huskers as an NCAA powerhouse in the process.

With few official team practices under their belts per NCAA offseason stipulations, the women have turned to aerobic exercise and strength training for early improvement.

“It’s a lot of agility and small things like jumping, longer sprints and short movements,” Veresova said.

“In tennis, agility is really important.”

During the designated offseason, the team was limited to hour-long coaching sessions, leaving the players responsible for refining their own games on the court.

Mostly devoid of professional assistance, they turned to one other.

“We try to improve each other,” Geibert said. “It’s nicer to play against someone you’ve never played against, but this is all we can do.”

Offseason improvement aside, experience will play a factor for Geibert’s fall season debut. She competed alongside teammates Weinstein and Veresova in last year’s Midland Invitational, where she made a third-round exit after losing a super tie-breaker to Lamar’s Mariaryeni Gutierrez.

The sole member of the previous year’s Midland squad not returning will be junior Janine Weinreich, who was named Big Ten Women’s Tennis Athlete of the Week Wednesday after taking home last weekend’s Drake Invitational title in Iowa. Weinreich viewed the win as more than

a favorable start to the fall season, she saw it as muchneeded preparation.

“It was good to be out on the courts again, just to be able to play a competition and get back on our feet and see how practice paid off,” she said. “But we have to see the fall tournaments as practice and preparation for the spring.”

No strangers to Midland themselves, Veresova and Weinstein approach the tournament seeking redemption after the two were both defeated in straight sets at last year’s tournament. And after defeating a formidable opponent from Texas A&M in her final match last season, Puthoff looks to shine as well.

Actual rallying and point play commenced this week in anticipation of the tournament, according to Veresova.

“We started to get into some singles and doubles to prepare better for [Midland],” Veresova said. “We’re just working hard as usual.”

Morgan Marlborough (15) and the Huskers will open their inaugural Big Ten Conference slate this weekend against Northwestern Sunday at the Nebraska Soccer Field.

“It doesn’t matter what we’ve done in the past because this is a new year,” Jackson said. “The Big Ten has high standards, which we have to meet and we haven’t met those yet because we have yet to play an official conference match.”

The standards that the Huskers had for themselves were raised even further after a pair

of strong outings against top 25 opponents. Nebraska knocked off undefeated Virginia Tech and lost in overtime to No. 18 Wake Forest.

The wins were a positive sign, but Marlborough said that the team now expects to do well and achieve its goals.

“When we began the season we made goals as a team

and individuals,” Marlborough said. “I know when I came to Nebraska I wanted to come in and make an impact right away.

“This year as a team our goal was to make the NCAA Tournament and compete for a Big Ten title and that starts with Northwestern on Sunday.”

Cross-Country

Huskers ready to run in front of family and friends Nedu Izu daily nebraskan

Home is where the heart is.

And home is where the Nebraska cross-country team runs this weekend as it hosts the 22nd annual Woody Greeno/Nebraska Invitational.

Women’s crosscountry runner Katie White said she’s ready to race again.

“I always want to run white well there because my friends and family will be there,” she said. “I’m excited to go out and race again and hopefully capture another team title.”

The invitational, held at Pioneers Park, will contain more than 60 teams along with 700 runners battling for the crown.

The Husker women have captured the title 16 times, including six straight years in a row.

NU coach Jay Dirksen said, although it’s his last year attending the event, he’s eager to see all his runners back on the course.

“For our athletes this is always exciting,” he said. “It’s an opportunity for family, friends and high school kids to come down and watch.

It’s always good to compete

where everyone close to the athletes can come and watch them race.”

Unlike NU’s first meet, everyone from both Nebraska teams will be running, the coach said.

In the first meet of the season, White was one of four Husker women to finish top five at the Creighton/UNO Classic to help Nebraska capture its third-straight title at the meet. She finished fourth with a time of 19:31.18.

Although she wanted to place higher, White said it was a great way to start the season.

“I think the goal was to go there and get a race in before some of the bigger meets this season,” she said. “It’s just nice starting off the season with a meet with less pressure.

“This upcoming course has been quite difficult for me, but this year I have a different attitude coming in and I’m excited to see how I will do.”

Last year, White placed 44th with a run time of 23:53.20.

The senior said the training she had this summer makes her believe this will be her best season yet.

“I had a few tempo runs this summer that I hadn’t done previous [during] off-seasons,” she said. “The main thing is that I’ve been consistent with my running this summer. It was really nice coming off a good track season and having the pace already there leading into the summer.”

Along with the women’s

team, the men have won 11 Woody Greeno/Nebraska Invitational meets, including four straight wins before 2010’s second-place finish.

Senior Jarren Heng, who placed second for Nebraska in its first meet of the season, said he can’t wait to compete this weekend.

“I think this is the most excited I’ve been for a race in my college career,” he said.

“Everyone gets to see who Nebraska cross-country is. On top of that, there’s some great teams that come in this year.”

Some of the teams included in this year’s invitational are Creighton, Wichita State and South Dakota.

White said that although none of the teams are ranked coming into this weekend’s competition, there’s no predicting how any team will do.

“I really don’t know how we’ll compare to them yet,” she said. “I think we’re all excited to go out and try something new. It will be exciting to see how we compare to everyone and see the other competition.”

Heng added that unlike when the team’s on the road, it will be great performing in front of people they know.

“I’ll especially have family and friends come in,” he said.

“And it’ll be nice for them to see Nebraska’s first Big Ten team. It’s our coach’s last time coaching this event and we want him to go out with a bang.”

volleyball: from 10 Iowa State, like Nebraska, has been a fixture in the NCAA Tournament in recent seasons. The challenge the game poses has made Werth and her teammates work harder than they have all season.

“We’ve been working really hard in the gym all week,” she said. “We went really hard on Monday and Tuesday and we did a lot of things to prepare out-of-system balls, serve receives and a lot of other things we need to work on.”

NU has about 1000 seats left for the game in the special venue where they’ll be showcasing the future facility. But the Huskers will be showcasing more than just Nebraska volleyball, something Werth defined in a few words.

“Nebraska volleyball is a bunch of hard-workin’, corn-fed girls,” she said with a laugh. “But basically Nebraska volleyball is a tradition of excellence, discipline and selflessness.” robbykorth@ dailynebraskan.com

you again: from 10 There are differing opinions on how the revenge factor will fuel NU. Martinez wants to prove the first game was a true indication of each team’s ability.

“Just the revenge that happened from last year at the Holiday Bowl (fuels us),” Martinez said. “I think the whole team is (ready), especially the coaches and the players. The players that are coming back just because they beat us last year when we were expected to beat them. They came out and played a lot better than us.”

But some of the veterans take a different approach. Junior Rex Burkhead believes playing for validation won’t solve anything.

The Huskers just need to return to the mindset they had when the team boarded the plane for

Seattle a year ago.

“You can’t get caught up in getting revenge because they got us last time, or anything like that,” Burkhead said. “Yeah, that game put a bad taste in our mouth going into the offseason, but, at the same time, you can’t let that fuel your energy and drive throughout the game and throughout practice this week.

You just have to focus on the game plan and whatever you need to fix.”

Even with Locker gone, Pelini said he expects Washington to have a similar game plan to last year. That means combining a heavy dose of running back Chris Polk with a stingy defense that is seventh nationally against the run.

But the Huskies have the

worst pass defense in the country, surrendering 403 yards per game so far. While Martinez’s completion percentage hovers below 50 percent, he showed the ability to find speedy playmakers Kyler Reed, Kenny Bell and Jamal Turner down the field last week. If NU can replicate those results, it has a much better chance of reclaiming the bragging rights in this mini-series.

“That loss hurt a lot, so I know everyone’s excited to play Washington again,” senior safety Austin Cassidy said. “I’m sure especially after they saw our game last week, they’ll be ready to bring it on Saturday. I know we’re all going to be excited to play them.” danhoppen@ dailynebraskan.com

huskies: from 10 “I think the players really enjoy playing with Keith,” Sarkisian said. “He has a lot of energy. He is a lot of fun.

Loves what we do. And the guys respond to him, without a doubt.”

Price has thrown for seven touchdowns in Washington’s first two games. The sophomore has thrown for over 400 yards with a 70.0 completion percentage, with only one interception, Price hasn’t had to use his feet much this season, either. The Husky signal caller has rushed eight times for 17 yards.

Meredith knows from his high school days in California that Price can run with the football though. He had 579 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground his senior season in 2009.

Some Husker fans who watched the 2010 Holiday Bowl remember all too well what a Washington

quarterback can do on the run. While Meredith sees similarities between Price and Locker, he said Price may lack some of Locker’s physicality.

Price suffered an injury to his knee during Washington’s season-opening win against Eastern Washington, and Sarkisian said that is part of what has kept the quarterback’s mobility down.

“We haven’t been able to utilize his legs much from a schematic standpoint,” Sarkisian said. “The stuff we’ve done when he’s running around has been his ability to run around and improvise on pass plays and different things.”

The new guy’s passing numbers have been complimentary to what a familiar face has accomplished out of the backfield in 2011.

The Huskers remember Washington running back Chris Polk well. The same Chris Polk who carried the ball 34 times for 177 yards and

a touchdown for the Holiday Bowl’s first score.

Oddly enough, Polk is from Meredith’s neck of the woods too. The junior back played at East valley in Redlands, Calif., and while Meredith never suited up against Polk in high school, he knows how elusive he can be now.

“Yeah, he’s a really good running back,” Meredith said.

“He’s probably one of the top NFL prospects in the nation right now.”

Polk has accrued 237 yards on the ground this fall for one touchdown. The junior rushed for 125 yards on 23 carries in the Huskies’ debut against Eastern Washington, 14 days after having arthroscopic knee surgery.

“It’ll be a big test,” NU coach Bo Pelini said. “He is a good football player. He runs hard and is a good player. It’ll be a good test for us.” jeffpacker@ dailynebraskan.com

Huskers and Huskies to meet for third time in 12-month span — this time in Lincoln

Former Big 12 foe Iowa State to meet NU at Devaney

Nebraska outside hitter Hannah Werth said the No. 12 Cyclones will provide the toughest test for NU this season.

T

he first game was over so quickly that taking a bathroom break likely meant you missed another Husker touchdown.

The second game was so painful it never seemed to end.

It was a tale of two contests, to be sure.

Saturday will mark the third time Nebraska has faced Washington in the past year, the rubber match of a series that saw two onesided games.

On Sept. 18, the Huskers scored early and often and blew out the Huskies 5621 in Seattle, destroying any chance WU quarterback Jake Locker had at winning the Heisman trophy in the process.

Washington got its revenge a few months later as the Huskies won a 19-7 slugfest in the Holiday Bowl, a game in

which NU appeared sluggish and disinterested at times.

“I guess they came out and played harder than us,” quarterback Taylor Martinez said. “Maybe we just thought since the very first game we beat them so bad, and in the second game we were lackadaisical about it, and we thought we’d come out there and stomp on them.

“It didn’t happen that way, and they came out and played harder than us.”

That’s part of the reason coach Bo Pelini doesn’t plan on making changes coming into this year’s contest. He admitted the Huskies were more ready to play, but is confident that won’t be the case this time around.

“I don’t attack it any different,” Pelini said. “You look at the games from last year

and look at what they’re doing this year and we will do the same. We won’t prepare any different.”

One of the biggest changes in the two games was the play of Martinez. He was unstoppable in the first game, rolling up 137 yards and three touchdowns on the ground and completing 7-of-11 passing attempts. But after injuries to his ankle and toe throughout the season (Martinez admitted Monday he wasn’t ever healthy after the Missouri game), he could only muster 23 rushing yards and was replaced

by Cody Green late in the game against the Huskies in the bowl game.

Meredith should know.

The Huntington Beach, Calif., native played for high school juggernaut Mater Dei. Meredith’s Monarchs were only 27 miles from

Price’s school, St. John Bosco.

Meredith was familiar with Price in high school.

He’ll know his style of play better by Saturday.

That style has endeared

Price to his teammates, Washington coach Steve Sarkisian said.

Nebraska begins league play near bottom of Big Ten Andrew Ward Daily Nebraskan

Nebraska got a good look at Washington running back Chris Polk last year.

The Blackshirt secondary got used to the sight of Jermaine Kearse, the talented wide out at Jake Locker’s disposal in 2010.

But it might be a face the Huskers didn’t see much of last season that gives them the most problems.

Keith Price, the heir to Locker’s quarterback throne in Seattle, is coming to Lincoln this Saturday.

The Compton, Calif., native and the Huskies will trot into Lincoln 2-0 on the heels of two wins out west.

Much of the Huskies’ offensive success, perhaps unsurprisingly, is tied up in their quarterback.

Price, a sophomore, is entering his fourth start as a Husky, but his inexperience isn’t fooling NU defensive end Cameron Meredith. “(H)e’s still a good player,” Meredith was quick to say Tuesday. “He’s got a lot to learn, but he’s a good

Nebraska volleyball fans are going to get a preview of the 2013 season on Saturday.

Not of the players who will be out on the court, but of the venue the Huskers will be playing in.

On Saturday, Nebraska will play host to Iowa State in front of what is sure to be a large crowd at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.

The No. 12 Cyclones are the highest-ranked team NU has played this season and will give the Huskers a test before they start Big Ten play next week against Penn State, according to assistant coach Dan Meske.

“This is a great test for us,” Meske said. “Iowa State went into Florida, which is a tough place to play, and got a big win.

They’re the best opponent to play right now before we start Big Ten play.”

This won’t be the first time Nebraska has matched up against ISU. During Big 12 Conference play, the two teams met every season and matches were highly competitive. NU holds an all time record of 78-1 against the Cyclones, though, with ISU’s lone win coming in 2009.

According to junior Hannah

Werth, Iowa State offers a challenge unlike any other this season.

“There’s a lot of great talent on that team,” she said. “I love playing with this team against them because we always have so much fun. Not just our team but their team, too because it’s such great competition.

“We’ve beaten them in their gym and they’ve beaten us here in our gym so we know the team well.”

The key to the game for Meske is passing. In the sets NU has won this year he contends that they’ve done it with good passing.

“Our passers as a unit need to step it up.” Meske said. “They have to play well.”

One goal the players have this week is to see if they can play a full game competitively.

Nebraska has struggled against unranked and lower-ranked opponents, including losing the opening two sets to New Mexico State and going five sets against St. Mary’s during the Ameritas Players’ Challenge.

“We want to learn if we can play a full match of great volleyball,” Meske said. “We’ve yet to have one this season.”

The much-anticipated opener to the Big Ten Conference season kicks off this Sunday for the Nebraska women’s soccer team.

The Huskers will host winless Northwestern at the Nebraska Soccer Field at 12:05 p.m.

The benefits of the new conference will already be seen, as the match will be streamed live on BTN.com and will be played on a tape delay on the Big Ten Network at 3 p.m. on Sunday.

As the nonconference schedule has finished up for NU, it finds itself in a bit of a hole early. Nebraska is currently ninth in the Big Ten standings with a 3-3-1 record in the nonconference. Everyone is chasing a surprisingly undefeated and first place Iowa squad.

Even though this portion of the schedule is not quite as important for the Big Ten title race, junior forward Morgan Marlborough said that she would prefer if the Huskers were higher than what they are right now.

“Being ranked ninth is just not high enough,” Marlborough said. “That should be higher than it is; we need to come out and work hard in order to prove ourselves in this conference.”

In Nebraska’s favor, NU hasn’t had a whole lot of difficulty against schools from the Big Ten in years past.

The Huskers are 16-5-2 all time against schools from their new conference, having played a game against every school except Michigan State, Penn State and Ohio State. The only team to hold a winning record against NU is Illinois, which has a 2-0 mark against Nebraska.

NU also holds undefeated records against Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Indiana.

Despite the Huskers success against their new conference, they will still have to solidify themselves as a dominant team, according to junior forward Jordan Jackson.
