Running in year four Four seniors will lead Nebraska cross country

Strumming away

Tony Church, a local 12-string guitarist, has been playing since 1975. Church played at Crescent Moon Coffee on Tuesday night. He no longer plays six-string because there is too much open space. It takes an incredible amount of concentration to play with the 12-string, but it speaks to him.

The doors are not obstructed and allow for students to still quickly rush in and out if need be. This renovation is under the direction of Workshop Architects, who specializes in student union projects.

UNL offers first space law doctorate program layla younis dn

@dailyneb facebook.com/ dailynebraskan

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Law has introduced the first doctorate space law program, J.S.D., a doctorate of juridical law, in the U.S. Elsbeth J. Magilton, executive director of space, cyber and telecom law programs and the U.S. legal studies LL.M program, said the College of Law saw the higher demand for commercial space law and space law experts.

“We saw a need and fulfilled it,” Magilton wrote in an email.

Frans von der Dunk, a professor of space law, will be supervising candidates who will be in the program.

A majority of European doctorate programs, as well as programs in

other countries such as China and India, require students to research, write a dissertation, participate in a public defense and then their work is usually published, von der Dunk said.

The new space doctorate program is based on a European style of doctorate-level education, von der Dunk said.

The difference from this program and other U.S. programs is that students don’t have to take extra courses or reside in the U.S., von der Dunk said.

Students are required to physically be in Lincoln two times during the program: once during the application process and again at their public defense, von der Dunk said.

CBA program connects students with employers Kelli Rollin DN The College of Business Administration at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will become a temporary home for employers again this year.

The Employee in Residence program, coordinated through CBA’s own Career Services, brings one employer in each week to connect with students for future jobs and internship opportunities.

There have always been employers who have come to CBA to connect with students, but until the program was implemented in 2012, the visits were inconsistent, said Jeannine Berge, assistant director and career coach at CBA. Berge said a lot of creativity

correction An article in the Sep. 3 issue of the Daily Nebraskan incorrectly attributed the University of Nebraska Medical Center to a report that said the prevalence of underage drinking among high school seniors in 2011 was up 6 percent from 2007, despite evidence the practice was decreasing nationwide. The Department of Health and Human Services released this report. UNL education and personnel officer Koan Nissen’s name was also misreported as “Kolan.”

DailyER to start paying writers for articles Sarah cohen DN After five years of not being paid for their work, the DailyER Nebraskan staff writers will now be paid for their articles.

“We’re hoping that this pay incentive will bring back writers that were not 100 percent committed and maybe they will be more likely to consistently attend meetings, submit ideas and get stories written in the paper,” said editor-in-chief Alex Wunrow, a senior advertising major.

The DailyER, a bi-weekly University of Nebraska-Lincoln satirical publication, has been around for five years, operating on a budget allocated from student fees that only covers operating costs and liability insurance.

Wunrow, who has been writing for the DailyER for four years, renegotiated the advertising contracts with Duffy’s Tavern, 1412 O St., as well as The Bourbon Theatre, 1415 O

St., and found the DailyER’s budget had nearly tripled. With the new contracts, the paper is expecting to bring in about $8,000 in advertising revenue — a huge jump from the $3,000 the staff was accustomed to making work.

“Instead of having a giant surplus we decided to invest in the writers,” Wunrow said. “This advertisement revenue should permit writers to get paid about $10 per article.”

Sophomore business administration major and DailyER writer Colin Loberg started working for the paper about a year ago and almost didn’t believe the news that he was going to be compensated for his writing.

“I honestly though it was a joke when the editor told me the news,” Loberg said. “I already contributed quite a bit because I enjoy writing comedy, but now I can see the staff putting a little more effort into their stories and making sure everything is polished and perfect because they

have a paycheck to look forward to at the end of the month.”

Loberg didn’t notice people leaving the paper because of the lack of compensation, but he thinks that getting paid for the articles will be the incentive that motivates people to get more stories finished — even on those Friday afternoons.

Between the satire and entertainment sections of the DailyER, about 20 articles per issue are put together

Oxford study abroad program celebrates 25 years at UNL Layla Younis DN This year marked the 25th anniversary of the Oxford study abroad program that the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the College of Business Administration provides, Dean Donde Plowman said.

The program includes three different classes: two economic courses and one English/theater class, for non-business majors, Plowman said. The number of students applying and going on the trip increases every year with 70 students participating this year, she said.

The Daily Nebraskan spoke with two students — Steven Craig, a senior management major, and Tate Schad, a senior predental and classics major — about their experience.

Daily Nebraskan: How did you hear about the Oxford program?

Steven Craig: Funny story actually. There was a woman who worked in graduate advising … It was her leaving party and I went in there, talked to her for a little bit. Her and another IT person were in there talking about how much they wished they would have traveled when they were students and study abroad and things like that … they just made an impact on me because they wanted to do something like that so profoundly. So I was kind of curious and interested. It wasn’t until Megan (Friesen, CBA undergraduate advisor) came into one of our accounting classes and talked about Oxford.

I was like, okay. I’m kind of interested in that, so I just started looking into it.

Tate Schad: I’m in Beta Theta Pi Fraternity and there was a lot of upperclassman that went through the program the last couple of years. They’ve just never said anything bad about it. They’ve just said that if you ever have the chance then go. And so I thought, well, I’m not a business major so this might be kind of weird, but I am a business minor. And it seemed pretty interesting and when you have an experience opportunity like this, you can’t pass it up.

DN: What was your first

really involved in economics. So he just knew so much and he was so lively in the morning, which is exactly what you need when it’s early and I’ve never really had a teacher like that, which is cool to see.

DN: What was the extended weekend like or any trips you took?

SC: Well, we planned it a week before. I went with four other people to an airport (to go to Ireland) that was further because it was cheaper. Our bus left 1 a.m. (from) Oxford and drove about three and a half hours to Stansted (London Airport). From there, we got on a plane at 6:30 (a.m.) and we arrived in Ireland at 8 o’clock.

And we went from there. So we did kind of a late night trip over there and we started touring.

TS: We took a trip to London.

Saw a play at the Globe and that A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Then we saw another play that was Hamlet with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

DN: What did you think about the people you met?

SC: I did meet a funny lady in Ireland. She was a local and she was just someone we met in a pub after we were done touring everything that day. This was the last night we were there. We kind of just liked to talk to people around there. … Just very, very nice people, even if you just go into the pubs.

DN: What are the main take away points you learned from the trip?

SC: The faculty they were really so different from the traditional faculty. It’s just nice to experience. I mean, I’m close to a number of faculty here in CBA — this was just a different style of teaching. Even if everyone was tired, we wanted to go to those classes. They were so interesting. They didn’t really do anything that was extraordinary. They didn’t even use technology in their lectures. They wrote on white boards and passed out papers. It was very simple. People were captivated by the lectures, I guess. It’s difficult to describe in words because … it’s something you have to go do yourself. news@ dailynebraskan.com

thought when you arrived?

SC: (We were) trying to find a bus because they are there at another terminal that’s five miles away. And everyone tells us, you get funneled off and that you run into the buses and that you can’t find them, but it’s not that obvious for us. Once we actually got to Oxford, we had a little bit of trouble – we found the college but didn’t know how to get in. Luckily, one of our program advisors was walking by … and she just took us in, kind of showed us where to go and took us to our rooms. Once we actually got to Oxford, everything was much better. You know, traveling was over, that part was over and you were able to relax a little bit.

DN: What classes did you take?

SC: Two economic classes: Econ 466 and 467 … One was just more of an informative account of the political economy, the other one was an actual economic course where there was graphs and things. It was the more advanced economic course.

DN: What else did you guys do besides classes?

SC: Anytime anyone asks you know ‘how was Oxford?’ it’s like, what about it do you want to know? The travels, the food, the entertainment, the events, the culture, the people? There is so many facets of that that are interesting.

There is just so many stories to talk about. I did the blog so when people ask (what did you do), I’m like this is what we did. One of the first things we did was play rounders. It’s kind of similar to baseball. That was one of our icebreaker games, if you will. It was similar to baseball, but it wasn’t at all really like baseball other than the fact that you are running around bases and hitting it with a similar size bat. And there were a number of things that they had through the program, like high tea and hunting.

DN: What was the most memorable? And why?

TS: The most memorable (for me) would probably be the atmosphere of the classes. It was so different from what I’ve seen. Especially the professor, Mark Holmes.

He’s so lively and upbeat. He’s kind of running around class just screaming about topics and he’s

cba: from 1 students didn’t want to be bothered by someone in a booth or trying to sell them on something. But she said once students warmed up to the idea and learned that the employers were there for their reference, students started bringing in their resumes to give to the visiting employers.

“We’ve been very excited at how well it has gone,” Berge said. “By the spring semester, it really started to become ingrained as a part of our college.”

She said the program shouldn’t be mistaken as a CBA career fair replacement but rather as an enhancement to the fair.

Career Services works with each visiting employer to coordinate how they’re going to communicate with students. Berge said she recommends setting up a booth to provide a visual presence to every employer, but some businesses do additional things as well.

“We try to create a schedule that fits along with what they would like,” she said.

by the 20 to 30 college students currently on staff. According to Wunrow, the paper has always had a core group of dedicated writers and then a group of people who come and go.

An average budget meeting at the DailyER starts with the staff sitting around the table in the Daily Nebraskan conference room. These brief meetings happen twice a week and each staff member pitches satirical headlines and potential comedic

newsstories. While the meetings only last 20 to 30 minutes, Loberg said the staff is enthusiastic to bring new ideas.

“One by one, we go around the table and our writers either get a laugh by the crowd or we tell them to keep reading and that’s how stories are selected at the DailyER Nebraskan,” Wunrow said.

Other than attracting new people, Wunrow hopes the ability to pay writers increases the quality of stories and helps the popularity of the paper grow. Eventually, he said he hopes DailyER finds its own permanent office space on campus.

“It hurt the paper when people dropped stories,” Wunrow said.

“Now I can tell them, ‘Hey, if you get your story in on time, you can get paid for it.’ It’s just an added incentive for them to get their stories in on time.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

national research roundup 1. Scientific Reports published a study that says whales get suntans because of an increase in the pigment melanin over their annual migration from the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of California.

2. Lightspeed Research has recently released a study that says Generation Y (youths age 22 to 29) employees have poor work habits, inflated pay demands and are easily distracted. The study included 1,000 Generation Y employees and 1,000 managers across the country.

3. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Pennsylvania have discovered that having a negative viewpoint can be a distinct personality trait, instead of just an attitude.

4. The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology revealed that when a female partner finds success in her career or social settings, men’s self-esteem could suffer. Nine-hundred volunteers were given word associations and were asked about times their partner succeeded or were informed when a partner scored highly on problem-solving or social intelligence tests.

5. St. Mary’s University published a study in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking that said newer relationships are more likely to succeed the less a couple uses Facebook. “Cheating, Breakup, and Divorce: Is Facebook Use to Blame?” surveyed 205 users ages 18 to 82 about how often they had arguments with their partner due to excessive Facebook use and or viewing a profile. For couples with relationships of four years or more, Facebook was less of a factor in the relationship.

space law: from 1 Last week, Union Pacific set up a booth in CBA as well as doing a case study in several classes in the college and holding a faculty lunch and learn, Berge said. She said the lunch, which has been successful in the past, helps educate faculty on what opportunities are available for students so they can recommend them.

Berge said the Employer in Residence still has the positive vibes it gained last spring and students find it helpful.

“We’re already booked for both fall and spring, and we have a waiting list,” she said. “Our employers have really enjoyed it and bought into it, too.”

This week’s employer is Gallup, which has a booth set up in CBA. Berge said the Gallup strengths test is a key part of the Gallup company, so they wanted to use that as a way to reach students. She said Gallup is doing mock interviews, resume critiques and individual strengths coaching sessions for those who have taken the test and know their

top five strengths.

Garret Reimers, a sophomore marketing major, said he remembers seeing the booths and employers last year but he never went to talk to the people about future opportunities.

Reimers said he didn’t talk to the visiting employers last year because he wasn’t ready to get an internship as a freshman, but he said he’s going to try to talk to an employer this year.

“It would probably help me get a marketing internship somewhere,” he said.

He said he’s looking to have his resume ready to hand to employers when he sees one he’s interested in.

Lilly Horseman, a freshman veterinary science major, said her introduction to veterinary science class professor brings in speakers and employers, but isn’t aware of anything like the Employer in Residence program for her college.

“I would definitely take advantage of that,” she said. “It’d be easier

to find a job and references for future schooling.”

Berge said it’s never too early to start making connections with these employers because new opportunities may arise and connections for future reference are made.

“Students really like that company who’s not going to try to sell them something, but really are trying to give back and give advice and give their knowledge and wisdom of the professional world,” she said.

Selling yourself and making yourself known with employers is important and students have the opportunity to do so with Employer in Residence, Berge said.

“I think taking advantage of the resume critiques and the mock interviews and all of the different things with the company, you’re going to know how to prepare yourself, how to sell yourself and what’s important to you,” she said. news@ dailynebraskan.com

“(Not having to be a resident) allows the candidates a lot of leeway,” von der Dunk said.

In many European countries, the public defense includes family members and friends of the student who are there to congratulate the student upon the expectation that the student will earn his or her doctorate degree, von der Dunk said.

A traditional Ph.D. program is usually a two-year program consisting of courses that require students to be a resident of that state, von der Dunk said.

There is no additional courses in the J.S.D program because applicants should have previously taken courses and have a baseline knowledge for the program, von der Dunk said.

Applicants must hold a JD or LL.M from an ABA-accredited American Law school, a doctorate on a related subject and a comparable Master of Law of LL.M. degree from an international institution, Magilton said.

The original intention of the pro-

gram was for non-U.S. students, but the program’s first student decided to reside in the U.S., von der Dunk said.

Gretchen Jonell is currently the only student in the program and is originally from Texas, but lived and worked in the United Kingdom.

Von der Dunk said there are five or six other interested candidates and that a majority of them live outside the U.S, but those people are all in the preliminary stages of the application process.

“To me, this is proof for a need for a certain program like that (J.S.D),” von der Dunk said.

For the past five years, the College of Law has had an LL.M program, which is a masters program for space, cyber, and telecommunication law, Magilton said.

“I’m very enthusiastic and pleased that the program has so much support,” von der Dunk said. news@ dailynebraskan.com

Sustain UNL promotes gameday recycling

this week in the big 10 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Anheuser-Busch InBev, a Belgian-Brazillian brewing and beverage company, will open a data center on the campus’ research park. The company said the ‘Bud Lab’ will offer students opportunities to work on projects for the brewer dealing with data analytics, data research and innovation. Claudio Garcia, the company’s chief people and technology officer said the collaboration with the university will provide students with opportunities to “work with the best and brightest in the field.” The brewer acquired 2,000 square feet of the research park earlier this summer, but will hold a grand opening for the ‘Bud Lab’ on Friday.

University of Michigan

The University of Michigan seems to produce high yields of CEOs, according to the Bloomberg News new ranking. UM was ranked fourth, along with the University of California at Berkley, for being a top public school for powerful tech CEOs of companies worth $1 billion or more. Princeton was ranked first with Harvard and Stanford close behind in a tie for second. UM serves as alma mater to CEOs of companies such as Groupon, Concur Technologies and Twitter, which factored into the rating. Dick Costolo, CEO of Twitter, could help UM move to second place later this year because of Twitter’s expected worth growing to $10 billion.

Northwestern University

Northwestern University School of Continuing Studies will launch a new program dedicated to developing mobile apps, the first of its kind in Chicago. The Mobile App Developer program offers students a Mobile App Developer certificate, which can be earned in six months or more. The program starts this fall, but courses are on a limited enrollment basis. The program requires students to take five courses that range from Android and iOS programming to project management with lots of hands-on experience. The courses are designed to be more independent and meet every three to five weeks for lectures. Students are also required to meet outside of class with their instructor for feedback and advice on projects the student is working on.

start to notice and be more aware of the small things they can do to make a difference,” said Kristy Cullan, a sophomore business administration major and vice president of Sustain UNL. “It gets everyone excited about Husker football and recycling.”

Another part of the sports recycling campaign this fall includes the Game Day Challenge. This is a nationwide event where UNL competes with other Big Ten schools to lower overall waste output. The school with the heaviest weight of recycled goods is declared the winner. A date for this year ’s competition has not been set, Gerken said.

“It makes a big impact,” he said. “It’s just as easy to throw your plastic bottle into the bottle bin instead of the garbage bin.”

Another large event for the group is the Prairie Festival in Kansas, which is a conference put on by The Land Institute, a non-profit conservation group

In an effort to continue pushing the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to become a more environmentally friendly campus, Sustain UNL is heading up recycling efforts during gamedays for its fourth year.

Nick Gerken, a junior biological studies major, is the president of Sustain UNL, a studentled organization that promotes a greener, more sustainable lifestyle. He wants to show students just how easy and important recycling can be.

The gameday effort is part of the group’s “Go Green for Big Red,” which is an event at every home football game where Sustain UNL volunteers give tailgaters around Memorial Stadium recyclable bags. The bags are then collected and recycled.

“It gets a bigger audience to

dedicated to research, education and policy organization of sustainable agriculture. The annual festival features high-profile scientists, poets and other advocates of sustainability.

Sustain UNL works closely with the UNL Recycling Services and also partners with Recycling Enterprises, the service that collects the university’s recycled material.

Cullan said she came from an area that did not have many recycling opportunities, so she was excited to become part of a student organization that focuses on sustainability.

“I think it’s really important for the campus,” she said.

“It gives students who want to make a difference a chance to do so. It brings you closer to your community. It gives you that ‘feel good’ feeling about changing the world.” news@ dailynebraskan.com

University of Iowa

Ching-Long Lin, an engineering professor at the University of Iowa, received a $3.2 million grant to conduct analysis to predict lung disease using 3-D lung models. Lin has been creating 3-D lung models for nine years. The grant, which came from the National Institutes of Health, will help develop new methods to image the structure and function of the lung, said John Newell Jr., a UI radiology professor. Lin’s new project will help predict lung functions on a large population basis as well as an individual basis. Because everyone’s lungs are unique to others, Lin said he will use four different lung subjects to determine how airflow differs. Lin and his team of other UI professors and researchers are collecting a plethora of data to try to comprehend the complexities of lungs.

University of Wisconsin-Madison

A new hall at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has taken dorm living to a green level with focus on conservation and sustainability. Aldo Leopold Hall will house students this fall under a solar panel roof, which will help provide some hot water heating. The hall is the last of four new dorms to be built under UW-Madison’s 2020 master plan. The dorms were built to ease housing demands of incoming students.

Aldo Leopold Hall will house a total of 172 students on four floors. A unique feature of the newest hall is the greenhouse on the top floor, along with the greenhouse learning community on the third and fourth floors. Residents of the hall have opportunities to monitor their energy use by floor and will be involved in food preparation such as canning and growing. Work space for bike repairs is also included with the environmentally friendly residence hall.

NU president’s son deserves less media scrutiny When University of Nebraska President J.B. Milliken’s son was charged with possession of marijuana early Friday morning, it was news. The story of James Milliken Jr., a freshman exploratory major, and his weed was tweeted and shared on Facebook and emailed to friends. All the local news outlets reported it. Because when the president of a university’s son is arrested by campus police, it’s news.

Perhaps we as readers and consumers should rethink that.

It shouldn’t be such big news that a 20-year-old college student got caught with some weed and a pipe. And that’s all Milliken Jr., is — a 20-year-old college student.

But this, unfortunately, is news that gets news outlets page views. People want to read about the NU president’s son and his drugs, regardless of if it’s really that big of a deal. News outlets must report on it. And this is where the problem lies. We’re a gossipy society, and we like blowing things out of proportion.

But Milliken Jr., deserves a break.

Yes, he broke the law. That isn’t good, and he should be held accountable for his actions. But he was caught with something that is legal in various places around the country. And most 20-year-olds make similar mistakes. They just don’t have the misfortune of being under a microscope. The Daily Nebraskan urges you to be conscientious of the news you demand.

And President J.B. Milliken should be given a break too. He isn’t a bad parent. He’s just a parent. Sometimes your kids mess up.

Students can help fight climate change

S

ome people just like to watch the world burn — or maybe in this case, all of us do. We have been using up our natural resources for personal gain while it suffers, and now Earth has come back fighting with detrimental consequences. I’m talking, of course, about climate change.

Climate change is the change in global climate patterns. It’s largely associated with the increased levels of carbon dioxide produced by fossil fuels.

Last Wednesday, scientists hit a major breakthrough as to explaining why there’s been a slowing or pausing effect on the warming of the earth’s atmosphere. They found that the cooling effect is due to the Eastern Pacific.

“Pacific cooling has indeed pulled down the average global surface increases seen from global warming,” said climatologist Shang-Ping Xie in a Aug. 28 USA Today interview.

However, while global warming has been slowing down within recent years, there is reason to believe that this cooling effect will not last forever. “Our results strongly confirm the role that [man-made] emissions are having on the climate,” Xie said. “At one point over the long term, the effect we are seeing in the Pacific will stop.

I’m confident the bigger increases in warming will resume.”

The problem is we keep using up the earth’s natural resources without thinking about the consequences. In an article posted on livescience. com by Jon Hoekstra, we have already reached the “Earth’s Overshoot Day.” According to the article, Earth Overshoot day fell on August 20, 2013 — the estimated date when we used up both our renewable resources and the earth’s capacity to absorb carbon.

Another thing contributing to the problem of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels from motor vehicles and power plants. Other similar agents are methane produced from landfills and agriculture, and fertilizer containing nitrous oxide. Their release sends carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which the planet is unequipped to process.

Another contributing factor to climate change is deforestation. Forests store the CO2 that is

christianna friedman

produced, keeping it from being released into the atmosphere, thus reducing the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere. This is done through a process of photosynthesis, where plants take in the CO2 in the air and then convert it to sugar.

According to the European Commission, deforestation accounts for around 20 percent of global CO2 emissions and subsequently is a huge contributor to climate change. Between the years 2000-2005, the United States had a 7 percent forest loss, ranging over 46,332 square miles of land.

Therefore, every time we cut down trees to make buildings or paper, we contribute to deforestation and climate change in turn.

So what are countries doing to combat climate change? The United States has developed a program called the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). The USGCRP has several goals, including understanding the changes in climate, the ozone layer and land cover. Their job is also to understand how much this impacts the environment and society as a whole, as well as predicting future environmental changes and providing information on how to address them.

One country that has stepped up to the plate to help regarding climate change is Norway.

Norway has been importing garbage and then burning it to create energy. Norway isn’t the only country on this trash to energy motion.

Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands have also been supporters of this trend.

The United States is a long way away from garbage fuel, but there are smaller things we can do as students to help.

One thing that we can do is remember to recycle. There is a very strong recycling system

here on campus, and there’s no reason why we shouldn’t take advantage of it. Things that can be recycled are items such as paper, plastic, newspaper, glass and aluminum. There are also multiple recycling drop sites throughout town, which can be found on the city of Lincoln’s website.

Another way we can save energy is by driving less and more efficiently. Think about walking occasionally or utilizing your free student bus pass. Carbon Dioxide is found in 95 percent of transportation–related gas releases. Cars, trucks and motorcycles all help contribute to carbon dioxide emissions, so by riding the bus you’re reducing those CO2 levels. You can find the bus schedule on the parking section of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s website .

Don’t feel like riding the bus? You can also reduce the amount of CO2 by keeping your car well-maintained. If your car is running efficiently, then you’re outputting less CO2. For example, by making sure your tires are inflated correctly, it will take less force to turn them. The more force you put onto the pedals, the more carbon dioxide gases you are pumping out. Allowing your car to run properly will also save you quite a bit of money in the long run.

We can also try to plant more trees. Trees help keep CO2 levels to a minimum by trapping it through photosynthesis, which helps with cooling of the earth’s surface. The Nebraska Forest Service provides vital information on where and how you can plant a tree.

Climate change is inevitable with the amount of CO2 we are putting out. Things like fossil fuels, methane, fertilizer and deforestation are contributing factors to this problem. Fortunately, there are steps being taken to help with this. The USGCRP is working hard to prevent issues in climate change. The European Circuit has also created innovative ways to help generate more energy. But we can also do small things here on campus every day.

Colleges play key role in democracy

A

ttending a university is much more than a path to a piece of paper and a prosperous future. The years spent on campus under the guidance of professional intellectuals allows for every student to cultivate their ideas and ambitions. It’s about finding oneself: identifying the values and aspirations that will build one’s character for a successful and happy future. In essence, it’s about the individual student.

A student’s ability to improve academically, professionally and socially is essential to the college experience. Personal advancements are crucial, but they’re not everything. Not only do universities provide an education to future professionals but it also grants students an outlet to exert their influence on the world they will inherit.

Democracy requires an engaged and educated citizenry; it’s about participation. Yet the highspeed age that we live in has consumed citizens beyond the point of democratic participation.

We all have priorities, and Americans typically place politics on the back burner. An inactive public threatens the foundations of democracy, as it becomes increasingly difficult to hold public officials accountable for their actions. Students – and the university system – are crucial to shaping public opinion and policy.

Higher education institutions are the pulse of civic society. With a mission of providing young people with the knowledge and skills necessary for a qualified workforce, universities and colleges ensure that future professionals are prepared to lead in the real world. As university tuition continues to rise, online and community colleges are providing quality and affordable diplomas.

Critics of higher education continue to point to these problems as a beginning of the end for public universities. Yet it can’t be ignored that in 2002, the U.S. Census Bureau found those with a higher education degrees earned nearly double the income of those with a secondary diploma. Not only is it important for young people to obtain a degree, it is crucial to the democratic principle of an enlightened citizenry.

Government funding of universities is crucial to sustainability. The role of providing research

dave gottschalk funding to higher education institutions allows for the cultivation of young minds as well as academic research on important national issues. The institutions are critical partners, and both must be effective for a strong democracy. Universities not only provide society with adequately skilled workers but they also serve as a vital aspect of our national competitiveness in the global economy. Power shifts and technological integration over recent decades have balanced the structures that govern our world, and it’s the universities that will play a major role in maintaining the competitive advantage of the United States over other nations.

Universities across this country provide incredible returns on investment for the federal government as researchers are able to identify structural problems within society and provide potential solutions. The valuable public service that universities provide us grants them impressive authority in the workings of public policy.

The world is changing rapidly. Issues that have come to prominence over the last decade have been either completely overlooked by public officials or intentionally ignored. Elected officials on Capitol Hill seem to prefer the partisan chess match to productive debate and effective legislation. Case in point: many politicians are still denying climate science while the federal government continues to give funding for scientists attempting to tackle the issue. Higher education is increasingly unaffordable, and even while solutions are presented across the states, candidates for public office continue to disregard the findings.

We are educated by these professionals who continue to be ignored at the state and national

level. Students come to universities to prepare themselves for the future, for personal as well as professional development. Campuses serve as models for the real world. Students are able to get practical skills working for the student government or newspaper. The institutions also provide an essential platform for students and academics to influence public policy.

I noted last week that higher education endowment assets are around $400 billion, yet that is just one piece of universities’ contribution to the economy. Graduates are also the future of the workforce, shaping the generation after them.

The role of students – beyond education – is to be aware of the world that will one day govern their lives. Professors provide us clarity, and campus is a platform to make a difference. Higher education is, in fact, not just about the individual. It’s about all of us.

Students across the country are organizing together on campuses to demand more of their universities. Whether it be petitioning administrators for green initiatives, organizing sit-ins or demanding officials take a stand on student loan reform, we need to ensure our voice is heard for the issues that affect us. The university grants us the ability to go beyond the self and strive for a collective action.

Activism starts here, and for the most part, it ends here. While we’re students, it’s important that we strive for excellence and hold high expectations for decisions being made on the outside world. Sign a petition, share a link online or write a letter to the editor - do something. Find an issue that you care about because at some point, it will be your problem. It’s simply irresponsible for a university population to sit on the sideline while politicians disregard the problems that will affect our futures. After all, it’s the universities that seek the solutions to the very problems facing society.

Higher education is about personal responsibility, and every student can play a greater role in shaping the world they will inherit. We – the millennials - are the generation that will determine the 21st century for America.

Students react to Nebraska Union renovations A newly approved renovation project for the Nebraska Union has plans for additional lounge space, new furniture and a redesign to open up the space and allow for better traffic flow. We asked students studying Tuesday night in the Crib what they thought about the changes:

Shelby Kruse

junior nutrition science major “The union does everything for me I need it to, but I wouldn’t mind a renovation. I’m just here studying before an NHRA meeting.”

Mackenzie Nealon

senior athletic training major “I like the plan for new levels of seating. I think it will make the whole place look less awkward and weird looking. This is probably where I spend most of my time studying, so I think it definitely needs an update.

I think of the union in the same way as Cather and Pound -- they’re the last things on campus that need to be changed.”

sophomore business administration major “I saw the signs for the renovation.

The union is pretty old so I’m excited. I hope it’s at least done in the next couple of years. I come here to study a lot, and I like to eat here on the weekends.”

Noah Vacanti

sophomore biochemistry major “I do most of my studying in the union.

It’s not extremely quiet, like the library, so you can still talk with people. As long as there are still a lot of places to study with the renovation, I’m good.”

senior elementary education major “Late at night, especially during finals week, this place is packed. With the changes I think upcoming freshman will come through the union and see a much better environment for studying.”

Dropped classes bring risks, rewards TYLER KEOWN You already messed up, you goof.

Yesterday was the last day you could drop a class and still get a 100 percent refund. Whoosh.

Just a memory now.

You still feel like you’re scheduling isn’t jiving, though. Spanish 102 is way too early (8:30 a.m.?

More like, 8:death a.m.) or you’re realizing the psychology isn’t interesting at all or maybe you’ve gotten to the point where you just want to drop out and pursue a dream.

So you might need to drop a class or two. That’s a hard decision, but hey, be lazy and let me make it for you. Here’s some factors to consider when it comes to dropping a class.

Netflix Pick of the Week:

Love it or hate it, the novelty of this movie is undeniable. Based on the Parker Brothers board game, “Clue” is a murder mystery comedy with all the familiar suspects: Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, etc., with the addition of an eccentric butler played by Tim Curry.

The cartoonish nature of the film is off-putting at first, but as it weaves a surprisingly elaborate series of storylines, the hilariously self-aware tone of the film shines through. A group of strangers (and later suspects) are all invited to a gothic mansion by mysterious letters, and quickly discover that they are all victims of a blackmailing scheme.

When their blackmailer is murdered (with a candlestick, of course)

the game begins, but the murders continue.

Made in 1985, and set in the 1950s, communism and McCarthyism are surprising undercurrents throughout the film. “Clue” is above all things, not what you’re expecting. The humor alternates between clever historical references, sophomoric jokes and slapstick physical comedy. The crowning achievement of the movie, however, is the quality of its three alternate endings: multiple solutions to the mystery that aren’t bonus features or auxiliary storylines.

Best watched with a lot of friends and an open mind, “Clue” is at the very least a conversation starter, and at best one of the most inventive films you’ll find on Netflix.

not do that, and instead catch up on back episodes of “The West Wing” on Netflix? Would it?

Who’s a good boy?

And if it feels right for you to drop a class right now, go for it.

There will always be more sections of that class you can join later on, and if there isn’t, then the subject matter probably isn’t relevant anymore.

Just know that it’s probably smart to make up your mind pretty soon. If you don’t drop by Friday, you only get 50 percent of your money back. If you don’t do it by the Friday after that, you only get 25 percent. Wait another week? Bam, there goes all four of the jet skis you could’ve purchased.

So good luck, students. Just know that nothing is permanent; you can always fix the mistake you made in six months.

Tyler keown actually dropped all of his classes.

He doesn’t go here anymore. Say hi at arts@ dailynebraskan.com

Clip of the Week Tyler Meyer DN

The great thing about YouTube is that anyone from any corner of the Earth with an internet connection can upload anything they want to it. Yes, that is actually a good thing, and this week’s clip will help you understand why. Head to our website to see the video.

Clip of the week: ‘Saxophone Horse Goes Crazy’ 0:00: At the start of the clip, the viewer is given no warning as to just how crazy “Saxophone Horse” will get, and is brought right into the action. A poorly textured, computer-animated horse taps its foot to the up-tempo beat in front of an equally poorly textured farm backdrop for just a second before we are shown that the horse is, in fact, wearing sunglasses.

0:05: At this point, Saxophone Horse validates the name it has been given by the video’s uploader as it proceeds to play a saxophone and materialize the word “CORRECT” in blue text out of the bell of the saxophone. This is where things truly start to go crazy.

0:10: The laws of physics, space and time no longer apply here. Saxophone Horse and the saxophone are floating in grey space, with the farm backdrop taking up only a frac-

tined to meet your future spouse in macroeconomics? It’s not wise to mess with fate.

It might seem like I’m actively discouraging everyone from dropping their classes. Far from it; I think education is a waste of time! I can promise that I’ve learned much more from YouTube and Facebook statuses than I ever did in reporting class, not that you can tell. My real suggestion is to ignore school entirely and still vote in every election, but that isn’t the point of this column.

Think about the larger picture, too. Leaving the class opens a seat for a someone else. Maybe this is their senior semester, and this is the last class they need?

You’re a good samaritan, and there might a tax break for you in there somewhere. I heard about that on YouTube.

Really, it boils down to what feels right. Does it feel right to suffer through a class that may not ultimately apply to your major? Would it feel more right to

YouTube

‘Clue’ Grace Solem-Pfiefer DN

First off, are you looking to replace it with another course?

This is huge, because you can’t actually do that anymore. Yesterday was the last day for that, too.

Whoops. Guess you should’ve been more proactive with your life, bud.

Like I mentioned, you’re only going to get a 75 percent refund for the dropped course.

Last time I checked, most courses cost around $10,000 a pop, which means you just threw away $2,500. That’s enough to buy a jet ski, dude! If you drop the class, you’re not going to have an education or a jet ski.

Also worth considering is the friendships you’ve developed in your class so far. What about Kevin? That’s his name, I think.

If you’re not there, who will he ask to borrow paper from every day? And what of maybe-Sarahmaybe-Sam? She laughed at your comment about how hot it was outside. Do you want to throw that away? What if you were des-

tion of the entire screen.

Saxophone Horse, sans sunglasses, starts to shake violently as the saxophone grows in size.

0:14: The video rapidly continues to lose all composition entirely as the backdrop fades into a digital abyss, and the project grid on which the computer-animated models themselves were composed starts to present itself.

“CORRECT” makes another appearance, this time in a light grey font taking up more of the screen, hinting at the twisted notion that the word itself may be the one behind all of this madness, making the viewer (or me, at least) question the very meaning of the word. As this is happens, Saxophone Horse’s torso is flipping backwards through its back legs.

0:18: The music continues to beautifully croon. Saxophone Horse is suddenly wearing sunglasses and playing the saxophone again. The backdrop has rematerialized, but the angle is awkward and shows that it only exists within two dimensions.

The camera zooms in on Saxophone Horse, whose digital skeleton is now exposed.

Before the camera cuts to the next scene, Saxophone Horse’s sunglasses lower via some sort of telekinetic superpower to

give you an unobstructed view of its cold, uncaring, lifeless eye. The horse has deeper issues at hand than it leads the viewer to believe, and this can be seen very clearly in this particular moment of the video.

0:24: The video starts to approach its end as Saxophone Horse is seen once again in its original position on the farm backdrop, galloping in the air.

0:30: The backdrop stretches vertically, making it more pixelated.

“CORRECT ANSWER!” flashes on the screen in the same blue font as the “CORRECT” that materialized from the bell of the saxophone toward the beginning of the video.

Neither of these things make Saxophone Horse any less crazy. He is seen speeding behind the text, across the screen, saxophone in-hoof.

The camera cuts to a cropped section of the backdrop to more intensely focus on Saxophone Horse, and then proceeds to repeat what just happened, this time, without the text.

0:34: Saxophone Horse continues to jam on its sax, as the backdrop disappears for a splitsecond, and then returns.

The video gracefully comes to an end as Saxophone Horse ceases to play the saxophone and turns to the camera.

Its sunglasses freeze in mid-air where its head originally was. In the same blue text as most of the previous text in the video, the phrase “YUO [sic] ARE SMART” appears and leaves the viewer with a false sense of entitlement for watching a 40-second clip of a horse playing a saxophone.

For those who can’t afford headphones, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln bell tower offers music to students making the walk to their classes. Here are some songs we’d like to hear ringing through campus.

“I Believe I can Fly” - For those days you’re late to class, nothing is going to make you feel you can fly more than a song that literally says that.

“Get Lucky” - If this song hasn’t been ruined for you yet, hearing a bell tower cover it three times a day could probably help with that.

The Harry Potter theme song - Wouldn’t it make it seem like we all go to Hogwarts? Wait a second, I just read 500 tweets that say we already have that. My bad.

“Movin’ Like Bernie” - This would be fun, right? I think it’d be fun. We’d all move it like Bernie. I love pop culture references.

“The Thong Song” - She had dumps like a truck, truck, truck. Thighs like what, what, what. Baby move your butt, butt, butt.

this is

my jam Aqueduct’s “I Sold Gold” Tyler Keown DN Aqueduct has always been a weird band for me.

I remember the first time I ever heard them.

They performed on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” playing the song “Growing Up With GNR.” I was maybe 14 or 15 years old, at a youth Bible retreat thing. We were staying a hotel room, and everyone kept talking during it. Afterward our pastor, who was staying in the same room as me, said “That was awful.”

It wasn’t, though, and I kept thinking about the performance throughout the rest of the week.

When I got home, I couldn’t find the album (I never really caught their name) and eventually forgot

about it. Two years later, my sister told me she had an album I should listen to, and lo and behold, it was them. Aqueduct’s “I Sold Gold” came out in 2005, and to this day, I still really enjoy the album.

The album is a juxtaposed mix of sounds, some songs upbeat with David Terry, the lead singer, yelling about ruined relationships, some songs low-key piano-driven ballads. “I Sold Gold” still reminds me of an early Death Cab for Cutie album, with a bit more electronic sound infused within.

The sound was never the biggest draw for me, though I do love the actual. It was more the feeling of finding something I thought I never would.

That nostalgia alone has made this album my jam. arts@ dailynebraskan.com

Nebraska looks to improve on last place Big Ten finish Filled with young runners, Husker cross country teams gear up for upcoming season Natasha Rausch DN Lacking seniors in the 2012 season, the Nebraska cross country teams relied on their underclassmen to lead Nebraska to a 23rd finish out of 31 teams and a 27th place out of 30 teams for the women and men’s teams, respectively.

Now, with eight returning letter winners and four seniors, the cross country team hopes to finish closer to the top, according to senior co-captain Isabel Andrade.

“As long as we stay healthy and don’t overwork ourselves, I think we will have a chance at finishing better this year,” Andrade says.

football practice notes

Matt Masin | dn

Defensive Coordinator John Papuchis yells instructions to his team on Saturday. Papuchis said his Husker defense was, at times, “mind-boggling” and “ridiculous.”

Brown pleased with Cross, running back core

Matt Masin | dn

Quarterback Taylor Martinez breaks away from a Wyoming defender. Martinez and his backfield ran for 387 total yards on Saturday, which included two touchdowns.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Imani is an underrated runner. People look at his size and stature and just think he’s a power back, but he’s very elusive and a very shifty runner.”

Ameer Abdullah junior running back

Cross and Abdullah finished the game with a combined 235 yards, with Cross finishing with a pair of touchdowns to help Nebraska beat Wyoming 37-34.

Although Abdullah looked impressive tallying over 100 yards for the seventh time in his career, the 5-foot-9-inch back said he was just as pleased with the performance of his teammate Cross.

“He had a great game,” Abdullah said. “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Imani is an underrated runner. People look at his size and stature and just think he’s a power back, but he’s very elusive and a very shifty runner. I feel like people got a taste of what’s to come for Imani this year.”

After racking up 329 yards and seven touchdowns in his first year as a Husker, Cross kicked off his second season with a 105-yard performance last Saturday and averaged 8.1 yards per carry.

And it wasn’t just the 1-2 punch that got reps in the backfield.

Freshman running back Ter-

rell Newby also got his time to shine in the home opener and made quite the impression. The California native finished Saturday’s game with 15 rushes, while checking in for 76 yards. Newby’s late game performance assisted Nebraska to a total of 387 yards to start the season.

His impressive Husker debut was no surprise to Martinez.

“He played very well for his first game and being a true freshman,” the quarterback said. “He’s just like another Ameer (Abdullah) for us, and I’m glad he’s on our team.”

Abdullah agrees and said he doesn’t expect Saturday’s win to be the last time the team will call on Newby this season.

“He’s been showing good signs in practice that he’s ready to come in and compete,” the junior said. “It’s the same thing as with Imani, you saw a good little bit of what you can expect from Terrell this year and what’s to come.”

Although Abdullah will start the majority of each drive this sea-

son, fans can expect to see Cross marching onto the field when the team hits the red zone and possibly Newby in the fourth quarter like in Saturday’s match-up.

But the luxury of having depth in the backfield and being called out of the game doesn’t bother Abdullah, he said. In fact, the starting running back has liked how the rotation’s played out so far.

“Coach (Ron) Brown puts people in a for certain situations that he thinks are the best for that situation,” Abdullah said. “I think he’s done a pretty good job up to this point.”

Even though Martinez has a plethora of options at the back as well as wide receivers, Martinez said he can also trust Newby to be given the ball when called on.

“A lot of true freshman get nervous but I thought he played well,” the quarterback said. “And I can’t wait to see what the future holds for him.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com

According to running back coach Ron Brown, Imani Cross’ 105-yard, two-touchdown game was no accident.

Though Cross’ numbers have spiked, or at least so in the first game, Brown has seen a constant work ethic that has contributed to Cross’ emergence as a back that could be utilized more than just on third down like last season.

“He’s doing what we want every player to do: staying after, working his skill set, he’s developing and taking it seriously,” Brown said.

Brown also mentioned that Cross is around ten pounds lighter from a year ago.

“He did it to obviously maximize his skills, which will make our team better,” the running back coach said. “And that’s what’s happened.”

The Nebraska running back core rushed for 295 yards (Ameer Abdullah with 114 and Terrell Newby with 76) and quarterback Taylor Martinez added another 80 against Wyoming.

Brown said he thinks those stats could be consistent with the amount of fire power Nebraska’s offense has.

“We have skill sets across the board, with our receivers, our quarterbacks, so the ball is going to be spread around a little bit.”

Junior College transfer settling in

Randy Gregory had two tackles in his first career game Saturday, and could have added a sack if not for a questionable roughing the passer call, but Gregory will take what he can get for now. The junior-college transfer from Arizona Western Community College has been playing catchup after missing most of summer workouts, but feels that he’s on his way to learning the defense.

“I think I’m on the right path and just have

to get better every week and play well in the game,” Gregory said.

The defensive end admitted he’s working on things now that the team has been working on since day one, but said he’s learning the system more every day.

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

Gregory noted redshirt freshman Avery Moss as a player that has helped him come along as a player.

“It’s helped me a lot, (we’ve been) going at it since fall camp,” Gregory said. “I love competition, I think if you play this game you have to be a good competitor and to be good you have to learn to compete and it’s been fun.”

Papuchis wants less

Both the words “mind-boggling” and “ridiculous” came to mind when defensive coordinator John Papuchis watched tape on the Wyoming win. What stuck out most to Papuchis was eleven plays totaled 427 yards for Wyoming. The focus now for his team becomes reducing that number.

“So the question to our guys this week was what do we have to do this week to take those eleven explosive plays and bring them down to five, and then down to three, and then down to two and eventually down to zero,” Papuchis said.

Papuchis said there was “nothing good to take away from (the) game,” after the game Saturday, but after Tuesday’s practice, he said there was a lot the team could take away from the 37-34 win by looking at the film.

“What I want out of this defense, is it to focus on the main thing, and the main thing is to continue to improve and I feel like if we do that, we’re going to be where we want to be as the season goes on,” Papuchis said.

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

After coming off an undefeated season and winning week one, the Buckeyes remain the favorites to win the Big Ten conference. On Saturday against Buffalo, quarterback Braxton Miller didn’t need to do much to give his team the win. With San Diego State next on the schedule, it may be a few weeks until Ohio State’s depth issue is challenged.

2. Michigan (1-0, 0-0)

Coming into the season, many people were curious as to what sort of talent quarterback Devin Gardner would have. After Michigan’s explosive 59-5 opener over Central Michigan, it appeared he did more than enough. The quarterback had one passing touchdown and two rushing touchdowns while he also threw two interceptions. Helping him out on offense were the other four rushing touchdowns that helped cement the win. This week will pose as a definite test for Gardner when the Wolverines host Notre Dame in the Big House.

3. Northwestern (1-0, 0-0)

Things weren’t looking the best early for Northwestern after starting quarterback Kain Colter suffered a concussion in the first drive against California. But the team managed to play without him and was able to beat Cal, 44-30 on the road, even with little production from senior running back Venric Mark on offense.

4.

9. Minnesota (1-0, 0-0)

5. Wisconsin (1-0, 0-0)

Nebraska (1-0, 0-0)

A lot of things can be said about how Nebraska did in their debut against Wyoming. For the most part, the Huskers reaffirmed the problems that they were known for on defense and there is definite depth on the offensive side with running backs Imani Cross and Terrell Newby shining as backups.

If Nebraska wants to compete with quarterback Brett Hundley and UCLA a week from Saturday, they have to address the defensive issues and show signs of progress against Southern Mississippi this week. The team’s escaped win over Wyoming, which marked coach Bo Pelini’s 50th win with Ne-

In Gary Andersen’s debut as the Badger’s head coach, the team showed him plenty to be happy about after posting a 45-0 shutout over Massachusetts. Although the Minutemen aren’t an impressive non-conference opponent, the Badger offense still ran for 393 yards with backs James White and Melvin Gordon leading the way. If the duo continues to thrive on offense, the Badgers should have no trouble putting points on the board through conference play.

6. Michigan State (1-0, 0-0)

When it comes to the Spartans, defense isn’t of much concern with returning starters like linebacker Max Bullough leading the front seven. But after Andrew Maxwell, a quarterback who had a full year’s experience from last season, only threw for 74 yards against Western Michigan, the obvious concern is on the offensive side of the ball.

Minnesota kicked off the season with a 51-23 win. But as impressive as that is, many of those Gopher points came as the result of the mistakes that their opponent, UNLV, committed. It’ll be a while until the Gophers face a proven team.

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

The Hawkeyes fell just short to Northern Illinois on Saturday, who has high expectations this season. Iowa only lost by three after NIU hit a last second field goal to win 30-27 in Iowa City, IA. With a game against Missouri State on Saturday, Coach Ferentz’s squad will have ground to improve before facing in-state rival Iowa State in the team’s annual matchup.

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

Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase did throw for over 400 yards in the season opener, but a 42-34 win over Division II Southern Illinois isn’t much to celebrate about either. When Cincinnati comes to town on Saturday, the Illini will face a team who has already recorded a win over a Big Ten foe in Purdue.

7. Penn State (1-0, 0-0)

Penn State picked up a 23-17 opening win over Syracuse in the second year under Bill O’ Brien. For the most part, freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg did well replacing the graduated Matt McGloin. But with many pieces gone from last year, how long can the Nittany Lions keep winning?

Long enough to most likely win all of their non-conference games.

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

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

The Hoosiers, for a short part of the season, contended to win the Leaders division due to their success on offense last year. In Indiana’s season debut they showed they still are able to find the end zone after recording 73 points, a record at home for the Hoosiers, last Thursday against Indiana State.

After being pummeled by Cincinnati 42-7 in the season opener, the Boilermakers should be able to take a breath going into this week’s matchup with Indiana State. But only one breath, as after Saturday’s game, it’s going to be a tough month that follows, with meetings against Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Northern Illinois and Nebraska. Looking at this year’s schedule for Purdue, they can be excited about giving experience to the new recruits.

Five freshmen step into new roles for tennis team Many younger players will fight for spot to play in Texas next week for Nebraska Staff Report DN The women’s tennis team will begin their unofficial 2013 fall season Friday, Sept. 13 at Texas during the Midland Invite. Practice for the Huskers is set to begin next Wednesday, although conditioning is already underway.

Only four of the 10 women competing for Nebraska will be chosen to go to Texas next Friday.

Coach Scott Jacobson has yet to announce the lucky four, and until practice starts, the final decision will remain unknown.

“We need to practice to see where we are,” sophomore Maggy Lehmicke said.

The team ended their 2013 spring season 24-6, leaving the Huskers at the No. 16 position.

Nebraska lost four highly competitive and contributing seniors, only to gain five freshmen from all over the world. Nonetheless, this looks to be a learning year for the Huskers.

Freshman Lisa Andersson is a Sweden native and a No. 34 nationally ranked Swedish competitor.

Brittany Brewster comes to Nebraska from Austin, Texas, where she was named the Austin Female Player of the Year in 2012.

The No. 6 overall recruit Mary Hanna, from Saline, Mich., chose Nebraska, because she said she felt at home.

Katerina Matysova, the No. 11 European Tennis Under-16 ranking player in Germany, is a former teammate of current NU player, Izabella Zgierska.

Lastly, Canadian Hannah Sulz joins the Husker family as the No. 16 ITF junior ranking player in Canada.

“The freshmen make up more than half the team,” Lehmicke said. “I’m confident in them. The girls are strong players with good personalities.”

Lehmicke also said their personalities will highly contribute to their performance on the court.

The returning members of the team include lone senior Maike Zeppernick, who was a 2013 Big Ten Distinguished Scholar and Academic All-Big Ten athlete, junior Zgierska and sophomores Lehmicke and Lauren Wagner.

Even with only one senior and so many freshmen, leadership is the least of Lehmicke’s worries coming into the 2013 fall season.

It’s not just something where you magically pop in and it happens.”

Although Robinson’s a transfer student, her leadership and experience will be the heart of team development.

Robinson said she made her decision to come to Nebraska after deciding that “Tennessee was not a healthy environment” for her.

Cook and the Huskers couldn’t be happier to have her in Lincoln, though. She was a 2012 AVCA Honorable-Mention All-American, 2012 AVCA All-South Region and 2012 First-Team All-SEC.

Maggy Lehmicke sophomore tennis player

She said everyone is going to have a key role on the team this year as far as leadership is concerned.

“We will all have key leadership positions on the team,” Lehmicke said.

Leadership won’t be solely the players’ job. New assistant coach, German (pronounced Heirmon) Dalmagro, was hired

last August after former assistant Hayden Perez was offered a job at Texas Tech.

Dalmagro started his collegiate career at the Division II University of West Florida (UWF).

He earned many titles and was named the NJCAA Player of the Year in 2003. Dalmagro also went on to become an assistant coach for both the women’s and men’s tennis teams at UWF. His coaching career at West Florida was short, but he gained six seasons of experience on the coaching staff for the Kansas women’s tennis team.

Coach Jacobson said that he is very honored to have Dalmagro on the Husker staff. Lehmicke said she too is excited about the team’s new coach.

With so many new changes, the multiple off-season tournaments will have a lot to tell about the Husker women’s tennis team’s future.

“Even though the (fall season) is not official, we’re still playing and representing a Nebraska team,” Lehmicke said. sports@ dailynebraskan.com

Husker Running back core takes on load of responsibility

T

here was 6:51 left in the second quarter and quarterback Taylor Martinez couldn’t have picked a better time to hand the ball off to Ameer Abdullah.

It was the running back’s first touch since the opening quarter and he sprinted down the field for a career-high 62 yards. Abdullah put his team on Wyoming’s 18-yard line and in a comfortable position to score.

The conclusion? A 17-yard run up the middle by sophomore Imani Cross to give Nebraska a 17-14 lead before halftime.

Wright looks forward to healthier season After rough season last year, Husker senior golfer leads more prepared, experienced team this season Bailey Neel DN As a senior beginning her last year on the golf team, Nebraska’s Katelyn Wright looks to have a better, and healthier, season.

“We aren’t really sure what it was, but I was in and out of doctors’ offices,” Wright said about her experiences last season. “It was really hard to battle school and golf and trying to stay healthy. It made for a very tough spring season after I had such a great fall.”

Wright’s coach, Robin Krapfl acknowledged the difficulties of being a starting athlete while dealing with an illness.

“There were some question marks surrounding the right course of action for her,” Krapfl said. “She struggled a lot in the spring. There was some fear of her being able to return this year.”

At the time, Wright was not only attempting to balance her health and personal game, but as a team captain, she needed to be there for the younger members also.

“Steffi (Neisen) and I were kind of thrown into that leadership role, since there were no seniors,” Wright said. “We weren’t really sure how to handle it because we were just juniors and it was a lot of responsibility.”

Despite their lack of experience, Wright and Neisen tried to keep the team’s morale up throughout the year, though they did not get the results they wanted or expected.

“We didn’t perform the way we wanted to,” Wright said. “It was a tough year for everyone; it was definitely a rebuilding year.”

The team set out to change their momentum this summer, and, according to Wright, they enter this season more prepared than last.

“Everyone worked really hard

The senior was plagued by illness last season, but hopes to make a step toward playing professionally next year. this summer and I’m feeling really good about the season,” Wright said. “I know Steffi and coach feel the same way. I’m feeling great about my own game as well and just trying to stay positive. Especially after how last season went, I think it’s extremely important for me to remain positive with myself and the team.”

Coach Krapfl said Wright will be their No. 1 player this coming week at the first tournament.

“Katelyn is back and looking better than ever,” Krapfl said.

“I’ve worked with her since she was a freshman and she’s made great progress and continues to improve each year. She has really

embraced what it takes to be a great golfer and what it takes to be a great leader on the team.”

Wright hopes to end up playing as a professional once she graduates from Nebraska next December. Until then, she remains focused on the season.

“It’s always been my dream to play on a tour, since I was a little girl that’s been the goal,” Wright said. “I work hard to try and fulfill that goal one building block at a time. Right now though, it’s all about where I’m at currently and looking at what I can do for my senior year, and the team and Nebraska.” sports@ dailynebraskan.com

Tennessee-transfer Kelsey Robinson spikes a ball earlier in the year. Robinson made an impact during Nebraska’s tournament in St. Louis last weekend, players said.

Robinson shows no sign of shoulder injury in St. Louis Liz Uehling DN If you haven’t heard about her yet, you will.

Kelsey Robinson, a senior transfer from Tennessee, made quite the impact on Nebraska’s volleyball performance this last weekend at St. Louis. Her stats, former experience and multiple honors speak for them-

selves. Truly, she is a component of the Husker team that will help make Nebraska a volleyball powerhouse.

Coach John Cook said as a whole, though, the team is very athletic.

“We do have some experience with Kelsey coming in that really, really helps us,” Cook said.

Robinson is a former three-year starter for Tennessee. She signed to Nebraska last December, making her

one of three seniors to wear Husker red. Her past achievements are many and because of her leadership position, the team looks to those accomplishments for help and guidance.

Teammate Haley Thramer will be unable to compete in her senior season due to knee injuries from last spring, which means the newcomer
