After campus debut, Heoya cited for violating city ordinance, requiring food truck to set up shop in private lots

story by jacy marmaduke | photo by matt masin

The Heoya food truck sits at its new location at 31st and O streets. The food truck was forced to move onto private property after being ticketed while serving food on campus.

E

verything was going so well.

About a month after the Heoya traveling food truck opened its window to serve Asian-fusion cuisine to the masses, the curbside business boasted more than 100 customers daily and more than 700 fans on Facebook. Lincoln’s first food truck was gaining a following.

But on Friday, Heoya met a setback when a police officer ticketed the truck for violation of a city municipal code. According to code 10.46.110, vendor’s trucks can’t stay parked on public property for more than 10 minutes — and Heoya usually stayed put for each day’s two-hour lunch and dinner rushes.

That means that until Minh Nguyen, his wife Linda and

business partner Yao Hau figure out a solution, there will be no more Vietnamese hoagies and Korean barbecue tacos on campus.

“I feel like we’re orphaned,” Minh said.

Since Friday, the truck has left behind its previous home of bustling city streets in favor of private parking lots. The truck used to park on 16th Street from about 8 p.m. to as late as 3 a.m., but it hasn’t reappeared on campus since the ticket. Linda is developing a petition for the city to change the code, but in the meantime, the team is doing what it can to promote visibility.

UNL introduces $50 library fee for non-students Library system charges community members to check out books, use services DANAE LENZ DAILY NEBRASKAN

When Mark Buhrdorf approached the front desk of Love Library, the last thing he expected was to be told he had to pay $50 to check out a library book on kung fu and karate. Buhrdorf, a Lincoln resident and UNL alum, astounded, said: “Keep the book.”

“I didn’t go back to argue the point,” he said.

The desk assistant told him that was the policy and he was at a loss for action.

Buhrdorf, who has frequented the library for years, usually uses the computers that community members are allowed to use for an hour and a half.

He has checked out books from Love Library in the

trueblood page 4

past without encountering any problems.

“I don’t know who came up with that policy,” he said, “but charging money for a library card is unAmerican.”

UNL Dean of University Libraries Joan Giesecke disagrees. She said the new system is a good change and not all that unusual for university libraries.

This new fee for community members is $50 per year for all campus libraries and allows them to rent books. It is still free for them to use the computers for an hour and a half. As of Monday, community members can use the computers for up to three hours if they need access to the Foundation Center or to Federal Government e-documents.

This fee is comparable to fees students pay for using the library. It is $3 per credit hour for students, meaning that anyone taking more than 16 credit hours is paying just as much or more than community members to use the library system.

“We were in a position where we needed to expand our revenue sources,” Giesecke said.

She said the UNL library system is there to serve students and faculty, and then the NU system. Community members come last.

According to her, the revenue collected from the library fees will go primarily toward replacing books that have not been returned by community members.

Buhrdorf, however, thinks the $50 fee is excessive.

music page 5

“They’re going to lose those people,” he said.

“Those people aren’t going to use Love Library anymore; they’re going to go to the city library where they don’t have to pay rent on books. That $50 for a year might not sound like a lot to a lot of people, but for a lot of people $50 a year is a very, very big chunk of change.”

He added that it felt like this new fee was victimizing people for their place in society and that even though he could afford the fee, he was not going to pay it because he didn’t feel like he should have to, especially since he was an alumnus.

lexisnexis: from 1 Westlaw’s Newsweek connection starts in 1999, according to her analysis featured in a letter to Giesecke.

Theiss-Morse said her department has published 817 articles including LexisNexis data compared with 229 articles using Westlaw data.

Scholars have published close to 10,200 articles using LexisNexis data, nearly five times the amount of articles published with Westlaw data, she said.

“This is Nebraska football vs. Louisiana-Lafayette football territory,” Theiss-Morse said in the letter.

Professors from various departments in the College of Arts and Sciences such as political science and communication studies and other departments in the College of Journalism and Mass Communications and College of Education and Human Sciences rely on these databases, she said.

But Wagner said the five students, who help him in his research, have run into problems of their own amid the contract talks. One graduate student, he said, faces uncertainty researching articles for his dissertation without the certainty of the service’s future at UNL. Ronald Lee, a professor of communication studies, said one graduate student told him he paid to access the LexisNexis at his alma mater Central Michigan University because he could

not wait on UNL for the service. Lee said he hopes the Giesecke and LexisNexis lock in the service soon.

Otherwise, he might need to cough up money to continue performing his communication research.

“I hope all of us don’t have to pay alumni dues to use Lexis Nexis,” Lee said.

Members of UNL’s nationally-ranked speech and debate team, the UNL Forensics Team, have expressed their concern on the decision.

“We rely solely on the fact that UNL subscribes to this,” said Lauren Schaal, an extemporaneous speaker on the team.

Schaal, a junior political science and communication studies double major, said her event requires extensive research on current events.

LexisNexis allows her to compile relevant news articles from domestic and international sources into one document. Westlaw can’t do that, she said.

What LexisNexis can do will be on display when Schaal and her teammates travel to Hutchinson, Kan., Saturday for the team’s first competition of the year.

Meanwhile, Giesecke said she’s heard the calls to keep the service, and she’s on it.

“We’re well aware of their concerns,” Giesecke said, “and we are addressing those in our negotiations.”

Sue Gildersleeve, the newly-hired housing director, sits behind a desk large enough to use as a bed, but instead hosts towers and parapets of paper. The desk appears even larger when Gildersleeve sits behind it in her otherwise bare office.

On Aug. 8, Gildersleeve, previously the interim housing director, was hired as the new housing director, replacing the retired Doug Zatechka, who was director for the past 34 years.

“There’s no question in my mind that she was my choice if it was my choice to make,” Zatechka said. “I can’t say enough about her.

I think it’s wonderful she got the job.”

Gildersleeve started her career in a slightly different direction, going to junior college and working toward becoming a teacher.

However, she decided to turn onto a different path four years out of school.

“I had worked a number of clerical and secretarial type jobs and I felt that would be a better fit for me,” Gildersleeve said.

When Gildersleeve moved to Carbondale, Ill., she decided it would be a good time to finish her undergraduate degree and did so at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

Gildersleeve took her last

semester of classes at UNL. “They don’t do that sort of thing very often, but I was a good student and met some professors who went to bat for me and said ‘Yes, we can make an exception for her,’” she said.

Since her move in 1978, Gildersleeve has worked for an accounting firm, NET in 1982 and 1994, University Housing in 1986, and in 2000 she became the associate director of housing.

“So you can see I’ve ping-ponged, but just between two departments,” Gildersleeve said.

After being brought in as a candidate for housing director, Gildersleeve reflects on her reasons for taking the job.

“I’ve been with housing for close to 20 years now and with Zatechka retiring I knew it’d be a change,” said Gildersleeve. “I felt we were going in the right direction, so I was interested in making sure we continued in that direction.”

Despite having just more than a month on the job under her belt, Gildersleeve is already working with housing’s plan for new dorms and to meet Chancellor Harvey Perlman’s goal of adding 5,000 students with an increase in retention.

“Obviously with the chancellor’s goals we’re going to be a major player in a couple of ways,” Gildersleeve said. “The major way that comes to most people’s minds is ‘Do we

courtesy photo

have enough beds for students?’”

Gildersleeve is also taking steps to look beyond the physical requirement of housing and provide more than the basics for students.

“My staff has gotten tired of my saying this, and I’ve only been here for about a month, but it’s real important to think beyond that (the basics),” Gildersleeve said.

As of now, Gildersleeve is still fulfilling the associate director position in addition until a new associate director can be found.

“There are days I wake up and it feels a little overwhelming,” she said.

“There are pretty big shoes to fill with Dr. Zatechka, but I’m excited to have the chance to try.” eliasyoungquist@ dailynebraskan.com

Peruvian student craves taste of

kyle bruggeman | daily nebraskan

robin walz daily nebraskan

Buying Hispanic food in the Haymarket means buying a piece of home for Cesar Davila Novoa.

Novoa, a senior industrial engineering major, is a Peruvian international student from Trujillo, Peru, a city almost three times as large as Lincoln with about 700,000 inhabitants. He has studied at UNL for the last three years.

When he starts to talk about his hometown, Novoa jokes about it in his South American accent.

Trujillo is not the biggest city, but it is a city full of crazy drivers, unlike Lincoln, Novoa said.

“If you know how to drive in Peru, you know how to drive anywhere,” Novoa said. “Everyone is always shouting and using their horns when they drive and nobody cares about traffic lights.”

Afterward he laughs.

Compared to that, he said Lincoln is completely different and the traffic is very quiet.

His parents stay in contact with him using Nextel, a long-distance radio system running on a monthly subscription. There are also cellphone calls and emails, but Nextel is the most convenient, Novoa said. With it, he can talk to anyone who owns a compatible radio.

Because he is from Peru,

the time zone is the same as Nebraska, a luxury not all international students have. And because of his long time in the U.S., he is very comfortable with life at UNL and has very little homesickness.

He misses most of the beaches of Peru and the food. To find some genuine Peruvian food, he goes to one of the Hispanic grocery stores in Lincoln.

He said he also plans to visit an authentic Peruvian restaurant in Omaha with a friend.

When he first left Peru for UNL, he experienced something a lot of international students encounter — he forgot his I-20, a paper necessary for visa applications and admission into the United States. But airport customs only asked a few questions before he was allowed to enter.

The first time Novoa returned to Peru, his parents prepared a large banquet of food for him. Instead of greeting his family, he headed straight for the table laden with Peruvian food and began to dig in.

When his mother asked if he wasn’t fed, he replied, “This is just so good,” and started eating again with both hands. Everyone in his family laughed, Novoa said.

Novoa said he can rely on friends he made during his three years of studying abroad. Most of them are Spanish speakers. Novoa also said he believes it is

better for people to solve their own problems when they’re international students.

“You have to be able to take care of yourself here,” he said.

According to Zack Rupiper, a Cather Hall resident assistant, this fits in with international student norms.

Even though the Husker experience remains new throughout the first year, it

usually only takes students about a week to get used to the American way of life.

“They’re interested in learning when they come here,” Rupiper added.

library: from 1 Giesecke said that alumni can have free access to the campus libraries, but only if they are paying members of the alumni association, because then they are already contributing to the university and not just using its resources for free.

Community members also have an alternative way of getting the resources of the community libraries for free: the interlibrary loan program. If a community member has a city library card, he or she can get any book that can be circulated sent to the city library free-of-charge.

City ordinance unfair to food truck vendors Oh, Heoya, we hardly knew ye. Oh, Lincoln, we’re disappointed in your discouraging of gourmet food trucks.

Less than a week after the Daily Nebraskan ran a story featuring downtown and campus’ rising Asian-fusion food truck, Heoya, its owners received a ticket for a municipal code violation that could disrupt their business flow entirely (see page one today).

As much as University of Nebraska-Lincoln students may — and should — bemoan the particular loss of this truck’s Korean barbecue tacos, this incident reveals a more alarming trend. The same code that pushed Heoya off the streets Friday makes it nearly impossible to run a food truck anywhere in Lincoln.

Code 10.46.110 specifies no vendor’s truck may “stand in any roadway longer than ten minutes in any one location.”

While keeping roadways clear and street parking open is commendable, the Daily Nebraskan must ask how the city expects any vendor to sell with such a tight schedule. If the city, in fact, detests food trucks operating on its streets it then begs the question why UNL must be denied the gourmet food trucks that have staple of so many other campuses and cities — a staple that has proven popular enough in its short tenure in Lincoln to gain more than 100 daily customers, 700 fans on Facebook and 187 followers on Twitter.

Truck worker Linda Nguyen said the loss in business is already palpable. The truck can’t operate successfully under code 10.46.110. No truck can.

The DN suggests Lincoln officials change this code to better accommodate a food-truck culture present in other cities and at other universities.

Perhaps UNL could look into contracting oncampus food trucks as other schools, such as the University of California, Los Angeles, have done.

At the very least, the DN encourages students to make their voices heard and let the city know they want their first campus food truck to be welcomed back.

Student behavior on gameday pathetic, dispassionate

Students claimed this year that they wanted to “Take Back Gameday.”

They wanted let the Big Ten know what they were all about and that they are an intimidating force to be reckoned with. What I witnessed Saturday against Washington was pathetic.

Halfway through the third quarter I saw empty seats up at the top of the student section in south stadium.

Now, I’ll be the first to tell you that the students get robbed with where their seats are located. However,

it doesn’t matter where they are, if the students want to stick to their motto, they best start acting like they want to be there the whole game and not just part of it. It shouldn’t matter if the score is lopsided or if the weather is bad. If the students want to “take back gameday” and even compare with some of best student sections in the Big Ten, then start staying for the whole game! Also, either get that “Can’t be Beat, Won’t be Beat” chant working or scrap it, ‘cause it sounds absolutely awful right now.

Adulthood begins after dorms

S

ometimes I’m not sure which I find more unbelievable: the fact that I lived on campus for four years, or that I am graduating in December.

A lot of people I know moved off campus by their junior year, sometimes sooner. I liked the idea of living off-campus and contemplated it at the end of my sophomore year. I accepted a position as a resident assistant, which extended my campus residency another two years.

If I had graduated last May with the rest of my class, I wouldn’t have worried about what to do for my final semester. I could have lived in the Courtyards with a friend, or opted for a single room in Cather or stuck with the RA job for one more semester. The first two seemed costly and the latter option required a lot of time and energy that I was running low on.

So, I chose to be a commuter student.

The transition from the residence hall to a three-bedroom home was pretty smooth. I enjoy having a kitchen, off-street parking right next to the house and a washer/dryer and bathroom I only have to share with two girls instead of 50.

Living off campus, though, hasn’t been the fairy tale I imagined.

Off-campus living has new costs that I didn’t worry about when I lived in the dorms. Instead of a flat cost for my room and meal plan (which the university took care of when I was a RA), there are now multiple bills: rent, internet, energy and utilities.

The money I earned from my job used to be for fun things like movies and eating out, but now that money gets allocated in other ways. Now I have to decide whether I want to spend extra money on better, healthier food at the grocery store, or use that money for a few coffee dates with friends.

My time is also allocated differently.

bethany trueblood When getting ready for the day, I must factor in travel time to campus. I bike as much as I can in an effort to stay healthy, reduce my carbon footprint and save time searching for a parking spot. On days when I drive, though, I must consider the possibility of driving around the block at least three times before I find an open meter.

Cooking also costs me time. If I get tired of frozen meals or peanut butter sandwiches, I must spend time preparing and cooking meals. Planning meals can be a hassle. I hate throwing food away, so I try to plan meals so I use up food before it goes bad. Sometimes that means I eat turkey sandwiches and salads for several days in a row or try to see how many ways I can cook eggs or use up chicken (thankfully, those foods are pretty versatile).

Then there is cleaning. I’m not obsessive about keeping a clean house, but clutter and mess stress me out. It bothers me when our sink piles up with dirty dishes or when things get left on the counters, tables or floor. I have to assume some responsibility for this because life gets busy. It’s easy to put off some tasks for a few days, or weeks, while I focus on other things. But inevitably, it’s up to my roommates and me to keep our place in order. Unlike the dorms, there is no cleaning staff to pick up after us.

Off-campus living has other added

stresses. When the dryer isn’t working or the sink is leaky or clogged, we have to fix it or wait days or sometimes over a week for our landlord to help us. (I did manage to unclog the kitchen sink myself using a plunger – it really does work; you just have to be persistent).

Parking is another thing. The three of us share a driveway with our neighbor and it gets tricky when one car is parked a little too far up or over. I recently got a parking ticket for blocking the sidewalk. The funny thing is, I rode my bike to campus that morning to avoid getting a ticket (the previous day I was cited for an expired meter). Oh, the irony.

Despite this rant about off-campus living, I actually enjoy it a lot. I love having my roommates to share meals with and talk to at the end of a long day. I’m glad I have a nice space to invite friends over for pancakes, dessert or movies. I like having a kitchen where I can expand my cooking skills beyond the microwave. I appreciate falling asleep at night in a quiet room, without the sound of floor mates slamming doors or being noisy in the hallway.

There are pros and cons to both types of living arrangements. Since I am graduating soon, though, moving off-campus seemed like the right choice for me so that I could start adapting to the “real world.”

While campus living was convenient, that’s not the way life is always going to be. I enjoyed my four years in the residence halls and am thankful I could spend two of those years there for free. But it’s time for me to move into adulthood, with all of its complications.

As I will soon be a graduate, paying bills and learning housekeeping skills are the least of my worries.

Ignore the angry preachers

T

he evangelical preachers are back; it’s that time of year again.

I always thought the evangelicals waited a few weeks before preaching the Gospel to herds of sinful college students. In 2008, my first year here, they didn’t show up until October. If they had arrived any earlier, the guy with the giant cross might have forever tainted my image of UNL. This year, the preaching began on day one. You’ve gotta give them credit – they waste no time at saving souls. And the students, for their part, waste no time in antagonizing them.

I am deeply disturbed to see such radical views being shouted from benches in front of the Union, I am more annoyed when I see the student response to the preacher.

Students, you’re giving them exactly what they want! You’re giving them an argument. You’re giving them a platform, as if they need another one.

What are you trying to do when you sit outside the Union and play jazz while he rants about the sinfulness of homosexuality? Are you trying to drown him out? The jarring notes of your saxophones only further amplify his voice.

What do you want to do when the preacher shouts about women staying inside the home and not working? Do you want to engage, to call him out on his misquoting and misinterpreting of the Bible?

Perhaps you want to, sometimes, point out that the Bible was written by humans and, in your mind, it’s stupid to read this as a sacred text. I get that.

But that discussion means that people have to keep listening to this guy (and let’s be real, this year was the first time we saw a female preacher on campus in at least four years). He keeps getting to make his point – flawed though it is – about

zach smith whatever inane social policy he wants.

And you just get angrier.

I am most amused, I suppose, with the evangelical bingo game some people play. This is probably the least harmful, but you’re still standing there listening to something you clearly disagree with. Put the bingo cards away and save them for your weekly laughing-at-Pat-Robertson party.

What do you want to do when the evangelical screamer asks for volunteers or asks questions of his boisterous audience? You might again want to step up, just because you know you can prove him wrong. But proving him wrong isn’t the point.

You won’t ever prove one of these evangelical shouters wrong. There’s no point in trying. They are wholly convinced of their position, driven by whatever faith they hold. You probably won’t convince your listeners, either, since they’re most likely on your side. After all, they’re listening and shouting back at the preacher, too.

Here’s my advice. Stop trying. Stop listening. Stop surrounding the man with the giant cross with circles of annoyed students. Stop deliberately antagonizing him by shouting your usual atheist critiques of Christianity. Just stop.

You’re not letting him win – know that as a fact. If everyone simply walks by the preacher, without so much as a second glance, his words will fall on deaf ears. He

will run out of points quicker than you’d think.

Eventually, he’ll realize there’s no mission for him here. Nobody cares to listen to him.

To the preacher, I say: Spend more time with your Bible. The God that I believe in as a deeply spiritual Christian doesn’t shout about how all will go to hell. Rather, God forgives all things.

Christians are fond of spouting John 3:16 at people, noting the immense mercy of Jesus Christ. And that’s all well and good, but where, then, do we get off saying that if someone does something we consider sinful, they must invariably go to hell?

Most Christians, to their credit, don’t yell at people about this kind of stuff. From time to time, we meet people who insist with fiery conviction that homosexuality is sinful and contraception is wrong. We find people waving signs proclaiming sex is evil, and drinking and smoking are sins.

From time to time, we ignore them, and perhaps if they’re our friends, we challenge their convictions.

Most Christians practice some form of tolerance. If they’re uncomfortable with gay marriage, they may express it at the ballot box, but they may not come out and shout at students about it. While this, to someone who is fairly liberal even as I am fairly spiritual, is regretful, at least they have the common decency to treat people individually, as humans.

The ones that don’t do that – that shout at college students as they pass back and forth between classes – aren’t worth our time or our ears. Next time you see an evangelical preacher, step back.

Don’t engage. Let it go, and wait for him to leave.

New boutique emphasizes embellishment adrienne anderson Daily Nebraskan

In a little two-story boutique on the corner of 13th and P streets, Ashlie Hadden can finally stand at the front counter and say her dream has come true. After growing up watching her family’s small business, then graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a degree in marketing, Hadden is now the owner of Embellish Boutique.

The shop, as she says, focuses on the everyday lives of women 20 to 35 years old.

The passion for small-business ownership started at an early age.

“My mom and aunt have owned a store together in my hometown of Bridgeport, Neb., for 10 years, so growing up in retail/small business ownership is part of who I am,” Hadden wrote in an email. She continued to be immersed in the business aspect of this until she got to college when she started working on her degree.

“After graduating in 2009, I worked in retail management and, like many young adults, tried to figure out just what it was I wanted to do for the rest of my life,” Hadden said. “After some encouragement from my parents to really chase my

dream, I started writing a business plan and organizing meetings. The rest is history!”

The shop opened this August, making it one of the newest boutiques in downtown Lincoln. It joined the ranks of small boutiques such as Sassafrass, Stella and Tsuru, giving college students and community members the chance to shop downtown without having to leave the heart of the city.

“There is so much development happening, not only downtown, but in the Haymarket as well,” Hadden said.

“There is such a sense of community among the business owners, and it seems we are all very excited to see what the next few years has in store for the downtown retail scene.”

Fellow boutique owner Matel Rokke of Tsuru agreed.

“We love having the new stores downtown,” Rokke said.

“Downtown is the heart of every city.”

This community feeling has spread throughout the downtown area, making it a shopping destination for locals and those traveling in from out of town.

I have a confession to make.

Much like all blonde white girls and the majority of the 1985 Bears defensive line, I can’t tell the difference between Coldplay, Adam Levine and James Blunt. They all sound exactly the same and it drives me crazy.

It’s confusing enough that Adam Levine is the lead singer of Maroon 5. It’s like the difference between Ben Folds, Ben Folds 5 and Ben Folds Laundry. Where does one draw the line?

They all sound like Michael Bolton with less balls. According to Bryan, that’s not many balls. I would argue they’re like a slightly more feminine Rod Stewart, even.

For whatever reason their open-throated voices have become extremely popular. I can understand the ridiculous rhythmic speech musings of Ke$ha are getting popular.

You throw autotune on anything and it’s good. But this is literally the same thing over and over again.

Also, let’s be honest with ourselves; Bruno Mars is effectively the Hawaiian version of all of the above. For whatever reason, this helps me distinguish him from the rest of this potential conspiracy.

Here’s a theory; they are all the same person. This theory also pertains to Michael and Janet Jackson (she got tired of putting up the façade and killed one of them off) and Katy Perry/Zooey Deschanel (but let’s be honest, we’re all OK with that one). They spend time doing their respective projects making obscene prophets only to come back together at the end of

the day as one.

Think about it; they’ve brainwashed the masses into thinking their voices sound good. Their cookie cutter pop beats put the youthful generation in a trance in clubs all across the country. Of course we have no idea of what is actually going on. Wake up, America.

A secondary theory: in an attempt to secure American dominance on music, Michael Bolton’s genes were spliced in an attempt to create a new generation of ultimate pop sensations. However, they clearly messed up somewhere along the line a la Bernard Marx in “Brave New World,” and now we instead have an amalgam of terrible music. I feel I’m more OK with this theory because involves science as opposed to pure witchcraft and wizardry. I’m all right as long as it involves America asserting dominance over the Red Menace.

Or maybe we like bad music that sounds the same because we’re afraid of change and diversity. One thing becomes popular and we latch onto it. Autotune effects, clean vocals with screams, etc. It’s not necessarily that we are clinging onto something great. The new Americana. Rather we find something catchy and hold onto it for dear life. Pop music and culture is nothing but cycles of trends.

I’m not saying we break this, I’m just saying we need to be open to more than just one sound. After all, this is America, damn it, the great melting pot. It’d be sweet if our culture legitimately started reflecting that.

Lecture focuses on rules for academic biography writing Chance SolemPfeifer Daily Nebraskan

It’s fallacious to think that some of the ethical ins and outs undergraduate students face in relation to research and composition aren’t magnified when applied to academics and writers at the highest level.

For this reason, the Robert J. Kutak Center for the Teaching and Study of Applied Ethics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln regularly hosts its Brownbag Lunch Series in Ethics Across Disciplines.

Wednesday (at 12:30 p.m. in the Nebraska Union) the topic of the Brownbag gathering will be “Ethics in Biography,” a discussion led by Dr. Rhonda Garelick, who holds a joint appointment at UNL in the English department and at the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts.

The highly relevant nature of these ethical topics (to various academic disciplines) has kept students and faculty coming back for more.

“We have found is that there is a great interest on this campus to talk about all sorts of ethical issues,” said Steven Swartzer, the Assistant Director for the

Center for the Teaching and Study of Applied Ethics. “One of the things that we hope participants get out of these discussions is that interesting and important ethical issues come up everywhere, and in every single discipline.”

The ethical issues a researcher or writer runs up against in biography are numerous and convoluted, part of the reason this particular topic was selected for the Brownbag series.

“Their work can have a direct effect on the wellbeing of their subjects and in carrying out their work they need to balance the interest of the public’s right to know with the well-being of those they are studying,” Swartzer said. “Biographers, social scientists and medical researchers all need to worry about protecting the privacy of the individuals involved and about respecting the confidentiality of their sources.”

Garelick was invited to speak based on her recent biographical work on the famed French fashion designer, Coco Chanel. In her opinion, such a discussion of biographical ethics is necessary in light of the sensitive nature of interviews and primary sources.

“The relationship

between a writer and the interview subject is very delicate, particularly when we’re asking questions about someone’s life,” said Garelick. “What is our obligation to our subjects?”

In a very real way, concerns about these ethical issues have united scholars in a variety of academic fields. In the future, this is a

Professor to ‘Almost Famous’ director celebrate pays homage to ‘90s rock African music Cameron Mount Daily Nebraskan

Bryan Klopping | Daily Nebraskan

Amanda Hohenstein Daily Nebraskan

There is a conversation between music and culture.

Dr. Darryl White is taking that literally.

White, a renowned trumpeter and associate professor at the University of Nebraska—Lincoln School of Music has performed thousands of times in his life.

“I live to perform,” White said.

Since the age of 12, he has been performing and playing for others. Many performances have taken him all over the country, but his next performance will lead him right back to campus at the Sheldon Museum of Art. Currently, the Sheldon is offering an art exhibit titled “The Harmon and Harriet Kelley Collection of African American Art: Works on Paper.”

The 55 works on paper date from the late 1800s to 2002, and they signify just a portion of what is contained in the Harmon and Harriet Kelley Collection in San Antonio, Texas.

Since the music and art went together so well, the museum thought it would be perfect to have Dr. White and his quartet play to compliment the art.

White and three others — a vocalist, bass player, and pianist — plan to perform a concert titled “Calland-Response,” which also represents African American culture at that time.

Call and response is originally connected to

historical African religious roots, which served as the foundation for African American religious thought and behavior.

In music, a call and response is a sequence of two distinct phrases usually played by two different musicians. The second of phrase is heard as a direct interpretation of the first.

White said this form of music was most commonly used by the African Americans during the slave days while they were working out in the fields. One person would call out and another would respond. It was how they communicated.

The call and response is a defining characteristic of African music, which in turn became an important element of African American music in the United States.

Most recently, White has played the taps at the Nebraska vs. Fresno State game during halftime to honor those of Sept. 11.

“People usually think of us as professors first, then performers. I think it should be the other way around,” White said. “It’s because of our performance abilities we are able to teach.”

Sophomore Frank Stroup, a student of White’s and a music education major loves the fact that his professor is also a performer.

“I think it’s really great that he gives his students an insight to his performing,” Stroup said. “I love watching him perform. He plays wonderfully.” amandahohenstein@ dailynebraskan.com

When Cameron Crowe announced he was making a documentary about grunge powerhouse Pearl Jam, fans were understandably intrigued.

Crowe is best known for films like “Jerry Maguire” and “Say Anything,” but his passion for music has never been a secret.

“Almost Famous” was a semiautobiographical account of his time writing for Rolling Stone, a magazine Crowe still writes for regularly, and “Singles” showcased the Seattle grunge scene before the genre boomed. That insider angle and directorial skill should have brought heft and style to “Pearl Jam Twenty,” but not much of either are on display here. Instead, Crowe’s adoration as a fan weighs the film down, never picking up enough convincing intrigue to support its two-hour run-time and bold assertions.

The film begins by exploring Pearl Jam foregoers Mother Love Bone, whose rapid rise was cut short by lead singer Andy Wood’s death in 1990.

Pearl Jam slowly emerged from the ashes over the following year, and by the end of the 1990s established themselves as possibly the most popular and defining rock band of the decade. Along the way, they’ve become embroiled in a feud with Nirvana, were involved in a highly publicized court case with Ticketmaster and supported a variety of political causes.

Now in their third decade, the band continues to record Billboard-topping albums, and has had an undeniable influence on many current rock bands.

The members spoke openly and honestly about dealing with success in the film, making for some illuminating and entertaining interviews. Lead singer Eddie Vedder, especially, was highly candid, showing moments of deep reflection on his vulnerability and struggles.

But while fans will appreciate

this insight, their story simply isn’t much different than other bands with far more compelling personalities. Crowe intermixes footage of The Who, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix, as if to lend cultural credibility to the grunge scene, but the message is muddled on what Pearl Jam’s contribution is. It doesn’t help that the 1980s are entirely ignored, with no explanation of why or how grunge came about. No foundation is set for why the scene or the band matters, a vital omission for a film like this.

In one of the final scenes, shots of the band supporting a dozen varied political causes are shown in succession. Perhaps because of its placement in the “wrapping up” stage of the movie, the feeling conveyed is that Pearl Jam doesn’t stand for anything at all, the opposite intended effect.

This isn’t to say that Pearl Jam is portrayed as unlikable or insincere. In fact, all of the members seem genuinely humble and amazed at their good fortune. As an argument for cultural significance or anything other than a talented band finding success, however, the film fails

to make a credible case. Crowe could have explored more honest human interest angles, but instead chooses to run into the ground why Pearl Jam deserve to be worshiped. Even die-hard fans are likely to wonder why topics like the members’ childhoods or history with drugs and alcohol are never given more than a quick aside.

What Crowe does bring to the table, though, is an impressive variety of footage from the band’s twenty-year history.

Not including the interviews conducted over the last year, Crowe was given almost a thousand hours of performance video and twenty hours of home and personal video. This range helps keep up the fast pace, and evinces a devotion to the project that adds a further personal dimension. Still, the two-hour run-time can’t help but stretch that range thin. The film doubles as a concert film, which, despite showing off the raw, guttural power of Vedder’s voice, loses its effectiveness by the third act.

“Pearl Jam Twenty” contains valuable footage of the spirit of ‘90s music and quite possibly of the last easily definable

music revolution. Unfortunately, Crowe fails to convey why Pearl Jam represent anything near the level of ‘70s punk bands or ‘90s hip-hop artists, yet seems stubbornly determined to make this his thesis.

Fans might not mind that the movie is essentially an open love letter to Pearl Jam, but given the potential of Crowe’s direction, the rest will likely leave disappointed. cameronmount@ dailynebraskan.com

NET to offer classes focused on audience musical literacy Molly Mahannah Daily Nebraskan

Why do they call it a French horn? For those of us who are not musically inclined, it’s a mystery.

Thankfully NET and the members of Nebraska Chamber Players are presenting a five-session class entitled “Musically Speaking” for those who want to learn more about music. The classes plan to highlight certain aspects of chamber music and are being presented by the members of the Nebraska Chamber Players (formerly the Third Chair Chamber Players). NET Radio and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UNL are also partners in presenting the class.

Director and instructor Becky Van de Bogart said that the classes will focus on “talks about specific aspects, periods, instruments and periods of music for community audiences and for the audience of the Internet.”

The classes are free, open to the public and also available for online streaming through olli.unl.edu/musicallyspeaking, although a Flash Player is needed to be able to stream the lecture. The classes will be held at NET, which is located at 1800 N. 33rd St. in Lincoln. Registration is required to attend the classes due to limited seating.

“The scholars for the talks are musicians from the Nebraska Chamber Players and composers who we work with,” Bogart said. “There will be five talks this year, two highlighting instruments, one an interactive percussion class, February 14.”

Nancy Finken, NET radio manager, said students can hope to learn that “classical music is not intimidating!”

“You’ll learn about chamber music in a fun way,” she said. “You’ll find out why the French horn is called the French horn and what goes on in the mind of a composer.

You’ll hear demonstrations of various instruments, including flute, recorder, drums, clarinet and piccolo.”

Van de Bogart says those taking the class will learn “the historical journey the instruments has taken to arrive at the technology of 2011 and the repertoire written and passed down.

“The November talk will explore not only classical music but the wonderful world of playing in the musical theater ‘pit’ and the contrast of the jazz and classical world.”

The first class starts Sept.

20 and is titled “Why do they call it the French horn?” and will be from 2 to 3:30 p.m.; “How many instruments can Ed Love Carry?” Nov. 1, 3 to 4:30 p.m.; “Things you’ll hit and bang – back by popular

“Be prepared to learn, experience playing instruments and have a great time with the information,” Van de Bogart said. “No musical background required, just an open mind and a receptive spirit.”

Banjos aside, wandering new album explores band’s sound

ethics: from 5 trend that Garelick would like to see continue.

“I hope faculty participants in this discussion will come away feeling we have reached across disciplinary boundaries to find common ground as a community of scholars,” she said. “It’s wonderful that the law school includes non-legal scholars like me in this series and I’d like to see more interdisciplinary, cross-school conversation at the university.”

Katie Fennelly Daily Nebraskan

For most bands, the release of a self-titled album marks the confirmation of a clearly defined sound.

Megafaun isn’t like most bands.

On their fourth release, “Megafaun,” the North Carolina trio leaves their banjos and beards behind.

“Take your time/’cause everyone knows/if it starts too fast/it’s gonna end real slow,” the band cautions on glossy opener “Real Slow.”

The trio practices what they preach. Though the fourteen-track album (fifteen if you count the disturbed hidden track) sits just under an hour, it feels like the group spent some time, a lot of time, wandering through the woods.

But J.R.R. Tolkien was onto something when he wrote, “Not all those who wander are lost.” Though the album sounds frenzied at times, it feels intentional.

Even the three-minute stunner “These Words,” which combines chirping birds, random splashes and croaking frogs with pounding drums, peacefully sits under hushed vocal layers until crashing chaos takes over. And it all works.

Eight and a half minutes of buzzing guitar fill the experimental “Get Right,” while the band opts for

Megafaun rounds out the varied album with the glowing “Everything,” a rollicking Gospel-inspired tune.

“I guess everything came from everything/and it’s everything we’re headed for” melts from the choir over gleaming violins and horns.

It’s certainly experimental, even for a band that has been described as freakfolk. But the band weaves stories with intricate melodies, creating an overall satisfying album.

At times, the album could sit beside The Byrds, Gram Parsons, The Grateful Dead

wailing harmonica on spiteful “Scorned.” Don’t count out synthesizers, accordions, marimbas and jazzy horns, which all find their place at one time or another. Everyone’s a winner on the band’s fourth effort.

At many points throughout the album, it seems as though the band has left their past work behind with “Megafaun.” But one track, the standout “State/Meant,” showcases the banjo, a staple on the band’s previous three records. The song is comfortable, like the flannel they undoubtedly sport.

Ultimately though, the goal of the series is to connect UNL students and faculty via ethical intelligence, not simply common problems.

“It is exciting to see a room full of people willing to use their own valuable time to discuss ethics,” Swartzer said. “In general, the Ethics Center hopes that these discussions help support and expand the great culture of ethics we have at UNL.”

NU duo reaches Midland Huskers in 12th doubles final, falls 8-4 after day one of Kansas invite

Zach Tegler daily nebraskan

Three of the four Nebraska women’s tennis players that made the journey south to Texas for the Midland Invitational were preparing for their first competition of the fall season. They were excited to see their hard work in the off-season finally pay off.

But for senior Madeleine Geibert, the expectations were even higher for the tournament.

“We wanted to win it,” Geibert said.

She and teammate Stefanie Weinstein, a junior, entered the invite as the No. 2 seed in the doubles side of the tournament. While garnering that sort of recognition is an accomplishment in itself, Geibert was not about to take anything for granted.

“I don’t think rankings mean that much,” Geibert said. “You have to win two sets whether the opponent is ranked or unranked.

“I just try to focus on the match I have that day.”

With that mindset, Geibert and Weinstein followed a first round bye with an 8-5 victory over Pepperdine. On the second day of the tournament, the duo won two more matches — beating Texas A&M 8-5 and TCU 8-2 — on their way to the final.

“For Madeline and Steffi to reach the final was an accomplishment,” NU assistant coach Hayden Perez said.

In the championship match, Geibert and Weinstein fell short against Texas Tech, losing by a score of 8-4. Despite the loss, they gained experience in the match, which was

Junior Stefanie Weinstein won her opening round singles match against New Mexico’s Kristin Eggleston (6-2, 6-3), but lost in round two. Overall, among the four players that competed, the Huskers finished with an above .500 record at the Midland Invitational.

Coming off a debut win in its home tournament last week, the men’s golf team traveled south to Lawrence, Kan., for the Kansas Invitational, which opened play Monday morning.

Although NU coach Bill Spangler is pleased with a tournament win right out of the gates, he continues to stress improvement to his golfers.

“Everyday we’re looking to get b e t t e r, ” S p a n gler said.

“There are a lot of area’s of our spangler game that we need to work on. The goal is to keep building on this solid foundation with a long season ahead of us.”

The Huskers top trio of golfers, consisting of Manuel Lavin, Neil Dufford, and Scott Willman, played a big role in the team’s victory last week. All three finished in the top 10 as individuals, highlighted by Lavin’s second place finish.

“The top three played well, especially Lavin. To shoot a one-under par last week was really good, considering the conditions,” Spangler said. ”This week I’m looking for a bottom guy to step up and solidify a position.”

The Kansas Invitational is held at the Alvamar Golf Club in Lawrence. Known as

one of state’s more difficult courses, Alvamar features traditional tree-lined fairways, with big, faster paced greens. According to Spangler, the competition will be fairly similar to last weeks field in Nebraska City.

After last week’s win, Spangler isn’t necessarily going into the Kansas Invitational with the idea of keeping the win streak alive.

“Instead of playing mediocre and pulling out a win, I would much rather see us play well and finish second place,” Spangler said.

The Huskers took six golfers with them for the twoday tournament. The top five golfers that make up the team, as far as scoring goes, will stay the same. Those players are Lavin, Dufford, Willman, Austin Zimmerman, and Ross Dickson.

Also competing individually for the Huskers is Kevin Gillick. The junior from Lincoln will be competing for the fist time this season.

However, after the first day of play in Lawrence, the Huskers are struggling. The team shot a combined tworound score of 611 and find themselves in 12th place, 35 strokes out of first.

Willman leads the team individually, shooting a 148 after his first two rounds.

He is currently tied for 17th place, eight strokes behind the leader David Smith from South Dakota State.

Other notables for the Huskers are Lavin and Dufford, who both shot 153 in their first two rounds. The two are currently tied for 39th place.

PRACTICE NOTES FOOTBALL Dennard practices, not mentally ready One of the most talked about Huskers of the past month hasn’t played a single down this season.

Senior cornerback Alfonzo Dennard has been the center of an on-going game throughout the first few weeks of the season.

Deciphering just when the NU defense will have the preseason All-American in the starting lineup this season remains unclear.

However, Dennard shed some light on the situation in speaking to the media after Monday’s practice.

“This is my first experience (being injured),” Dennard said. “It sucks,” he added.

Dennard revealed more specifics about the left leg injury that was previously unclear, characterizing it as, “a slight tear of my quad.”

Dennard echoed the words of his coach saying that he is currently in the fifth week of a four to six week timeline.

After his first practice back in weeks, Dennard was far from impressed with how he performed.

“I thought about it (his injury) a lot,” Dennard said. “It kind of, like, stopped me from doing a lot of things. The trainers just told me to just go out there and don’t even think

about it, just go out there and play. So, through practice I kind of got better. I wasn’t thinking about it as much.”

Seemingly like most people in Husker nation, Dennard remains uncertain on whether he will play on Saturday.

“I’m really not sure (if I’ll play) yet. I’m just trying to get back in the groove out there on the football field.”

When asked if he feels ready to play against Wyoming, Dennard said, “Um, physically yeah, but mentally, no. Because I’m kind of, like, favoring my leg when I go out there.

I think about it too much and I forget what I have to do out there. So, no, not really.”

In the end, whether Dennard will or won’t be on the field against Wyoming will be up to the coaches.

“If the coaches want me to out there and play, I will. If not, I won’t.”

Kinnie coping with recent benching After starting for more than 10 consecutive games, senior receiver Brandon Kinnie found himself on the sidelines for the Husker offense’s first play of the game last Saturday against Washington.

However, last year’s returning team-leading receiver said he’s taking everything in stride.

“It was difficult,” Kinnie said of not starting. “But at the same time, I have to stay upbeat. I have to stay with my team and my attitude has to stay positive because if I get in slumps the team will see that and they will start getting down.”

Kinnie has two catches for seven yards this season.

Pelini not convinced team is overlooking Wyoming With a nationally televised matchup with top 10 ranked Wisconsin two weeks away, it would seem very easy to overlook this week’s opponent. But NU coach Bo Pelini says that isn’t the case for his team.

“I don’t worry about our guys,” Pelini said at his Monday press conference.

“We keep our guys in the moment and we do a good job of that. I know you guys get tired of it, but our players hear about the process every day. The first thing we need to do is fix us. The last thing I’m worried about is what is happening two weeks from now, or Saturday for that matter. I want to see today.

We have enough work to do to fix us.”

Both Wyoming and Nebraska will enter Saturday’s matchup undefeated at 3-0.

martinez: from 10

broekhuis: from 10 reason the team is riding a fivematch winning streak heading into Wednesday’s match with No. 5 Penn State.

“She’s definitely a very well balanced player,” Connors said.

“That’s why she’s able to play all six rotations. Because she can play defense so well, it gives us a luxury to keep her in every rotation. We’re maybe one of three teams to have a player anything like her, and we’re happy to have that luxury.”

Connors praised Broekhuis’ demeanor, which he said makes her “a good stabilizing factor” on a team looking for more consistency. While Broekhuis believes that just to be a by product of her personality and drive, Root sees it as a sign of her developing into a leader in the long-run for the Huskers.

“I really think she’s going to be a big leader and factor for this team, not just toward the end of this year, but for the next two years,” Root said.

Forget “toward the end of this year.” That’s a role Broekhuis wants — and probably has — right now.

“My goal is to be a consistent player, and not to have those great games every once in a while, but be there the whole season,” she said. “If I can give to the team that consistent player, that consistent energy ... if I can bring that presence, that calm, consistent presence, it would be a benefit to the team.”

Broekhuis has the ability to bring more to the Huskers than a consistent presence. While she dislikes talking about personal

goals, she did admit to hoping her name would be written in the rafters alongside Nebraska’s other all-time greats. Connors said, with her natural ability and athleticism, he could easily see the goal accomplished.

“She’s an incredible talent, she can go as far as she wants to go in this game,” Connors said. “She could play nationalteam level, she can play internationally. She’s got the ability to do it if she wants to.”

Volleyball isn’t the only sport Broekhuis would be a great talent for. With her height (she’d be the tallest Nebraska women’s basketball player since 2000) and jumping ability, it isn’t hard to imagine her piling up blocks and rebounds for women’s basketball coach Connie Yori.

She’d know a good instructor as well: her 6’10” older brother Taylor started 29 games at center for Air Force last season.

“You know, back in my basketball days in high school, I always had a few blocks per game,” said Broekhuis, who has no intention of playing anything other than volleyball.

“A couple rebounds, too. But I think that just comes from the volleyball training.”

Root said she believes Broekhuis would be a great addition to any team. She remembers Broekhuis’s humor getting her through a particularly rough anatomy lab they took together and she also remembers her not having any problem putting on her gloves and cutting up cadavers. Connors repeatedly stated how easy Broekhuis

was to coach and how well she got along with, in Broekhuis’ words, the “crazy group of girls” that make up the team.

In the end, though, Broekhuis was brought in to make an impact on the court — just like everyone else on the team. Her impact was first felt during her freshman year when she started 14 matches while playing on the right side, making the Big 12 Conference All-Freshman team. And she has only built on that this season. She earned first-team honors at the Ameritas Player’s Challenge two weeks ago, and, on Saturday night against Iowa State, put up a double-double with 11 kills and 10 digs while hitting .304 and getting four block assists in a Nebraska sweep.

Despite that, those around the program are convinced she hasn’t hit her ceiling. In fact, they say, it’s not even close. Whether she can become an All-American, or even a Honda Broderick winner or national team player, is something Broekhuis looks forward to seeing as much as anyone else.

But even if she never improves one bit from here on, she knows she can always do at least one thing to help the team.

“I’m not the loudest out there, I’m not going to be jumping around and screaming,” Broekhuis said. “It’s that calm consistence presence (that’s) keeping people up, keeping things in check. Just keeping it real. That’s how it is. Just keeping it real.” seanwhalen@ dailynebraskan.com

defense: from 10 of which came when Washington got a short field after a muffed punt. The third quarter brought to mind the Blackshirts of the past two years, as the Huskies gained just 63 yards and were kept off the scoreboard.

The fourth quarter told a different story. After the Huskers gained a 44-17 advantage early in the period, the defense seemed to let up a little. Washington capitalized by scoring 21 points in the final frame.

“Believe me, I’m not happy with giving up 38 points,”

Pelini said. “I think the guys relaxed a bit, and I think we got away from what we were doing. I just didn’t like how we finished. I just don’t think we played very smart Saturday or adjusted well.”

Pelini said he doesn’t get caught up in statistics, and though the Huskers are tenth in the conference in scoring defense, there’s no need to push the panic button. Pelini’s defenses typically improve as the season progresses and rarely round into top shape before conference play rolls around.

It’s especially true this year as the plethora of young players NU plays see more experience, particularly in the defensive backfield. The Husker starting secondary had a combined eight starts before this season began, and the unit gave heavy playing time to Daimion Stafford, Andrew Green and Josh Mitchell, none of whom played a down for NU last season.

Much of that expanded playing time for less experienced players has been due preseason All-American Alfonzo Dennard’s injury.

“You get to know the depth and who can play and who can perform,” sophomore Ciante Evans said. “By playing a lot of people, you can see where everybody’s mind is at. We just have to take that perspective.”

Even the more experienced starters — Evans and safety Austin Cassidy — are still learning the system, as neither started until the Missouri game last year. Pelini said the more time they play together will increase the effectiveness of the group.

“Confidence in the scheme

and trusting techniques, in a high-pressure environment, it is easy to revert back and not trust,” Pelini said. “You realize those things are happening when somebody will do something right all week and then the first thing you see on Saturday is him doing something he hasn’t done all week.

You don’t chuck what you do because you know what you’re doing works. You have to trust the guys.”

The Huskers will get a chance to improve Saturday against Wyoming, which averages 36 points per game.

The Cowboys are 16th nationally in total offense, but those numbers came against Weber State, Texas State and Bowling Green. Now they must face a defense far greater than anything they’ve seen this year, a defense that is supremely motivated by its fourth quarter letdown against Washington.

“It is all part of the process,” Pelini said. “It is why they put ‘coach’ in front of our name. You stick with it, you don’t panic. You work to get it fixed.”

No ceiling is too high for Nebraska’s tallest player.

Almost two years after arriving at Nebraska as one of the nation’s most hyped recruits in January 2009, sophomore setter Morgan Broekhuis has emerged as perhaps NU’s best — and certainly most unique — weapon. The fact that the Colorado Springs native stands 6-foot-5 and hits lefty already makes her a matchup nightmare. According to NU assistant Dan Connors, she is one of only two or three such players in the country.

But her mobility and athleticism, which befit a player several inches shorter, make her potential nearly limitless.

“I think she can be one of the greatest players to come out of this program, honestly,” said setter Brigette Root, who has known Broekhuis since both were in high school. “I don’t think she has a limit and I don’t think players should put limits on themselves. As long as she continues to develop and commit to and trust this team, she’s going to be highly successful.”

Broekhuis already is highly successful. After eight matches, she has emerged as the Huskers’ best all around player. She ranks second on the team in kills, second in assists, fifth in

digs and first in blocks.

Most players wouldn’t hesitate to talk about how great they were playing with that stat line. However, that wouldn’t suit Broekhuis’s personality.

Always calm and collected — and ready to laugh — she sticks to the company line, that she only does what the team needs h e r t o do.

“It’s kinda j u s t what I can do for my team,” Broekhuis said. “And you know what, if my team needs me that night, if it’s in the game plan that I need to do something, then I do whatever I can.”

But, to the coaching staff, the sentiment that she goes above and beyond what the team requires from her is a key

Burroughs returns to Lincoln as a world champion Matt Palu daily nebraskan

Four minutes may not sound like a long time.

Five thousand miles from home with his heart racing, cauliflowered ear throbbing,thousands of fans were cheering vociferously against Jordan Burroughs. Four minutes was the difference between the ecstasy of accomplishing a lifelong goal and the imbearable agony of defeat.

The former Husker became a world champion this weekend, winning the FILA Freestyle World Championship in Istanbul, Turkey at 74 kilograms. The victory guaranteed Burroughs a spot on the United States Olympic team for the 2012 London Olympic Games.

“I felt great,” Burroughs said.

“Trying to be a world champ has been my ultimate goal since even before it was to be an NCAA champ. So I definitely feel blessed.”

The two-time NCAA national champion and 2011 Hodge Trophy winner, who has only been wrestling freestyle for a few months, defeated last year’s silver medalist Sedagh Goudarzi of Iran 3-2, 4-1 in the finals.

Burroughs has wrestled on some of the biggest stages in the sport, including national television, but even he admitted to feeling some pre-match jitters stepping inside the red border of the big yellow mat.

“I was nervous,” Burroughs said before a grin. “It was kind of uncharted waters and territories I’ve never been in before.”

Defense’s approach not Pelini pleased changing amid struggles with Martinez’s

Nebraska cornerback Ciante Evans (17) and the Husker defense held Washington to 63 total yards in the third quarter of Saturday’s game. NU’s depth in the secondary was on display early this year with the injury to Alfonzo Dennard.

At last Monday’s press conference, Bo Pelini expressed a great amount of displeasure at his defense’s performance in the 42-29 win against Fresno State, in which the

Blackshirts gave up 444 total yards.

On Saturday, the Huskers beat Washington but gave up 420 yards and 38 points, the most the Blackshirts had given up since 2008, the first year under the Pelini regime.

Yet Pelini was calm

Monday, assuring the contingent of reporters that the sky is, in fact, not falling.

“I’m not concerned. Our approach doesn’t really change, no matter what happens,” Pelini said. “Obviously, there are some things that need to get fixed. We

ask what we need to do to get better and I have a pretty good handle on that.”

NU’s defense played well in the first half, allowing 204 yards and 17 points, seven

Sliding can be vital when trying to steal third base against a strong-armed catcher.

It can be just as important when a 225-pound linebacker is bearing down on you.

Taylor Martinez got his first in-game taste of sliding in the Huskers game against Washington Saturday. The new method of evasion isn’t an instinct for the redshirt sophomore.

“I actually shocked myself that I actually slid because I think I got caught between like two or three defenders and I knew there was nowhere to go,” Martinez said.

“So I was like, ‘I might as well slide’.”

Martinez’s slide was the result of advice from Nebraska coaches to protect him.

“He doesn’t like doing that, I can tell you,” NU coach Bo Pelini said. “He has been told that when it is not necessary to take a hit. He isn’t going to run over three guys.”

NU junior running back Rex Burkhead remembers Martinez’s reaction to his first slide.

“Actually he came back to the huddle and he’s like, ‘did you see me actually slide for the first time?’” Burkhead said.

“So I said, ‘Yeah, I’m proud of you.’”

The slides were just one area of growth mentioned for the signal caller at Nebraska’s Monday press conference.

Coaches and players feel that Martinez, who has had his style of play and abilities scrutinized in many occasions in the past, has progressed this fall.

“I think the experience from last year has really helped him out,” Burkhead said. “He just seems a lot more comfortable and confident out there; leading the team, getting the guys in the huddle, focusing. That’s probably been the biggest difference from last year.”

Martinez went 10-21 for 155 yards through the air against the Huskies, connecting on touchdown passes in the first and second quarters. He also rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown. Possibly even more important than the yards or scores, though, is that Martinez didn’t turn the ball over.

His performance earned praise from those within the program.

“I thought Taylor was totally in control of that game,” Pelini said. “I loved his demeanor and how he handled the game. He played really, really well in that game. Did he play perfect? No. Technique
