DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

What we remember about 9/11/01 In honor of the events of 14 year mark tomorrow, we asked our staff editorial board to reflect on what they remember most about September 11, 2001.

Chris Heady, editor-inchief

I remember hearing about buildings falling down in the hallway before my second grade class. I didn’t really know what was going on until that afternoon when I got home from school. My father was in the dining room, and I sat down next to him. He told me America was under attack, and that a lot of things were about to change. Second grade me didn’t fully grasp the scope of the event, but I remember being afraid and worried that even in Kansas, in the middle of the country, American wasn’t quite as safe.

Mara Klecker, managing editor

I was a shy kid in a new school in a new city, and I didn’t want to go to second grade that Tuesday morning. To cheer me up, my mom offered to bring me pizza and sit with me at lunch. When she came in, I noticed she wasn’t smiling. She hugged me in the doorway and held on longer than normal. She wanted to explain, but the principal had asked her not to say anything. I found out later she’d spent the entire morning watching the towers fall and burn over and over again on TV. I didn’t see the footage until I came home, when she hugged me again and explained in a shaky voice. Then she turned the TV off and kept it off for the next few days.

Kayla Simon, opinion editor

senior

On September 11, my parents took my brother and I to Joe’s Crab Shack. There was no one on the roads. I’m not sure why the restaurant was

even open. We had dinner, and we went home. Only later did they tell me about the train ride home from their jobs in Chicago. The panic of their delayed Metra almost sent a pregnant passenger into labor. I don’t even remember what I ate.

Josh Kelly, senior sports editor

I was in Mrs. Bright’s third grade class, and we were just wrapping up free time. I set the two Bengal tiger toys in the basket near the wall and took my sweet time getting back to my assigned seat. Then, one of the other teachers rolled a TV on the large black cart from the AV room. The class was excited because, you know, it was TV at school. She turned it on and told us to hush. It was the first time she got us to shut up that school year.

Katie Knight, print news editor

I was 5 when it happened. To be completely honest, that day is a blur. I was in kindergarten, and my school did a great job of hiding us from the news to prevent mass preschool panic. What I do remember vividly, though, happened the next month. My family was headed to Chicago to watch my mom compete in the marathon. When we were all boarded on the plane about to take off for Midway, something clicked in my little kid brain. “Wait,” I said to my mom sitting next to me, gripping the armrests with terror. “Is this one of the planes that crashed?” It took her a good 20 minutes to calm me back down. Though I was hardly able to grasp what 9/11 meant or the impact it was going to have on this country, 5-year-old Katie still felt the loss of that sense of safety. Fourteen years later, even, my heart still speeds up a bit when I’m strapping in for take off.

KRNU music director appreciates local music ANNIE HIMES DN Jordan Howard can find something to love in every song she hears, eschewing any notion that certain types of people are typecasted for certain types of music. “My favorite decade to this day is still the 90s,” she said. “Then I took a rock history class, and I learned a lot about 50s music, which I was never quite interested in, so I have a newfound respect for that. I love hip-hop – 90s hip-hop. I love everything. I even like a little country.” It is her intense love for all music that influences Howard’s work as music director of 90.3 KRNU, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s college radio station devoted to bringing Lincoln new alternative music and promoting local artists and businesses. Howard, a junior advertising and public relations major, became interested in music at an early age due in large part to her brother, who is seven years older. “My brother taught me everything I know, so I can credit everything to him,” Howard said. “I remember going into his room and picking up the Nirvana Greatest Hits CD – the black Nirvana CD – and taking it. From then on, I just kept listening to music – all music.” Howard had a realization that transformed her interest in music from a hobby to the focus of her future career. “I had an epiphany freshman year that I did not want to look at dead bodies for the rest of my life. I was forensic science,” she said. “And I have always been obsessed with music, so I switched my major.” Howard has been able to strategically choose a major and minors that will prepare her for a future in the music industry. Howard has minors in music technology and business. “I want to work for a record company or a label, and I want to be on the business side of it,” she said. “But the reason I did music technology as my minor is so I can know everything (about the music industry).” Howard then found her way to 90.3 KRNU where she first began as assistant music director, helping out by listening to new music and curating the radio’s web presence. Howard learned much from the station’s then music director, Jennifer Taylor. When Howard became the station’s new music director in May, she brought with her experience and knowledge of the challenges and rewards of running the music-side of a college radio station. As music director, Howard receives new music each week from CD promoters – the

people record labels hire to publicize a certain album. “All the companies send me digitals through email, and then they send me all the physicals. I get maybe 20 to 25 [records] if not more a week,” Howard said. “I’ll usually just go down the line and listen to all the CDs. I’ll be up until 3 AM on Sunday night because I need to know on Monday what I am going to chart on Tuesday.” Charting is an essential part of Howard’s job. Each week she ranks records into two lists. She lists the top 30 albums in addition to her own favorite five albums, often new music soon to be on the top 30. Once she has created her lists, Howard sends them to CMJ College Radio Network where a master chart is then created. CMJ’s chart is a compilation of what college radio stations all over the country decide is worthy. “If I don’t chart, I just feel dirty,” Howard said. “I couldn’t chart for a few weeks this summer, and I just felt very cut off from the music world.” Howard has a method to how she approaches charting. “Most of it is what I see is doing well at CMJ and what I feel is going to do well,” she said. “If a new album came out this week, it wouldn’t chart top 30 for another week or two. That’s just how it goes. So I’ll put that in my top five, that’s how good it is. It’s just not going to chart this week because you have to warm up to it. It has to get some spins and get known first.” Promoters play a role in how Howard charts from week-to-week. Howard used soul artist Leon Bridges as an example. Earlier this year, two different promoters from different companies were both promoting Leon Bridges’ album, which ultimately rose to the top of CMJ’s chart. Despite the promoters’ sway, it is ultimately up to Howard how an album is charted. “Promoters are more at the music director’s whim than I am at their whim because they’re the ones that want the album to get on the chart,” Howard said. “But if I don’t like it or don’t want to chart it, they’ll try to get me to chart it, but they can’t make me.” Although Howard has only been music director for less than six months, she said she has plans to improve KRNU and increase its reach across campus. One way she plans to do this is by creating a music festival featuring local artists. “It’s still my brainchild, but I want it to be not-for-profit and feature local bands,” Howard said. “I would try to get all these local bands that Lincoln has. Lincoln is just this melting pot of bands, and I never quite realized that until I

moved here and switched my major.” In her role as music director, Howard is committed to exposing local acts to a wider audience on KRNU. “College radio has a reputation of playing obscure music,” Howard said. “But if we didn’t play it, who else would? That’s what makes college radio cool and different, and it’s how a lot of new or local acts get their start.” Howard’s commitment to lesser-known artists is shared by her assistant music director, Tess Barnes, a senior advertising, public relations and psychology major. “When I first started working at KRNU, I thought the amount of music we got each week was insane,” Barnes said in an email. “Then I realized that it’s amazing that KRNU plays a role in getting new names out there and giving them an opportunity to gain popularity with our audience.” Howard said she wants to increase KRNU’s reach into all UNL’s different colleges. She acknowledges the way people listen to music has changed in favor of instant streaming services such as Spotify and Apple TV rather than radio.

“No one listens to the radio anymore,” Howard said. “I want to change that.” Howard is devoted to uniting people from all walks of life around the music she plays on KRNU. For her, music should be accessible and should create community. “People can listen to anything. It’s whatever your ears like,” Howard said. “There shouldn’t be a label to music in that sense. KRNU’s music shouldn’t just be for hipsters, it should be for anyone who appreciates it, who loves the sound. The kind of music you like doesn’t define what kind of person you are. Music is a mediator in life.” Howard is endlessly open-minded as she listens and selects music across genres, and she encourages others to do the same. “Keep asking people what they’re listening to,” Howard said. “You can’t find everything, but you can find a lot.” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Pop duo creates dreamlike, sincere album ‘All Yours’

This week’s Netflix Pick: ‘The Loneliest Planet’ film

COURTESY PHOTO | DN

STAFF DN Widowspeak, an indie pop duo, creates music with an ethereal quality. Slow-moving, dreamy and unabashedly pleasant. Widowspeak’s latest release “All Yours” discusses insecurity, existential crisis and heartbreak under the disguise of floaty vocals and repetitive beats. The album starts with the title track moving at a slow, dreamy pace. The rest of the album follows suit, delivering sweet songs with light vocals. Widowspeak takes its influences from sometimes sugary genres (folk, dream pop) and blends it together to create an agreeable batch of 10 tracks. What Widowspeak delivers, and delivers well, is its ability to deliver songs with almost stream-of-consciousness lyrics. The group comes across as its most sincere when pondering the big questions and

common insecurities. Sonically, “My Baby’s Gonna Carry On,” delivers some of the more interesting moments on the album with repetitive harmonies, latin-inspired sounds and some synth. Despite a handful of seemingly introspective lyrics, (“I’ve see girls younger than me, so sure of what they want. And it gets harder to focus in on what I wanna focus on”) the album creeps into background music territory. It’s nice to listen to, especially if you can focus on the individual components of the album, but the lightness of it all only distances the band from the listener. The result is a mirage of what Widowspeak could be. “All Yours” seems to merely graze the surface. ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Set in the country of Georgia, a former Soviet Union region, “The Loneliest Planet,” a 2011 film, details the story of a newly-engaged couple enjoying a pre-wedding getaway hiking the isolated Caucasus Mountains. With the help of their guide, Georgian native Dato, Nica (Hani Furstenberg) and Alex (Gael Garcia Bernal) relish in their solitude, illuminating the pair’s intense codependence. However, a single event shakes the relationship to its very core, giving way to resentment, an-

ger and mistrust. As their emotions threaten to boil over, the lonely mountains only serve to compound the couple’s pain, leading Nica to seek comfort in Dato. Shot on location, the lush, gorgeous scenery gives the viewer a peek into a region that’s almost entirely untouched by modern society. Strengthened by strong performances from both Bernal and Furstenberg, “The Loneliest Planet” questions the power of commitment when faced with an uncertain future. ARTS@ DAILNEBRASKAN.COM

Prepare for fall with 3 essential foods

ART BY IAN TREDWAY | DN

CAIT WALLINGFORD DN We all miss the comforts of being home. Blame it on our mothers cooking crisp apple fritters, fried chicken and pumpkin pie. When it comes to the college lifestyle, we aren’t provided the southern love and comfort. But it’s time to man up. Be an adult, and go to the store. Only question is: where do you start? Apples: Come the fall season, apples are about as consistent with their low prices as they are at

falling off trees. Just double check on those bruises. Most grocery stores will toss them if they look bad enough, but in the shuffling, it’s no fun to purchase a large bag of apples and have to throw away half the apples because of a handful of ugly, smashed up fruit. Pomegranates: If you have a day to yourself while cracking open your textbook to cram for your first of many more quizzes and tests this semester, consider first running over to your local grocer and picking up a few pomegranates. Screw the idea of a fast process of soaking, cutting and breaking up the fruit to quicken

the process; it’s more fun to make a clean slice through the fruit and popping out the berries one-by-one. Plus, it’ll give you something to do while reading. In the fall, pomegranates are more plentiful, and their prices will begin to shift downward. Day-Old Baked Goods: Not many students have the luxury of a kitchen set for their residential hall room, unless you’ve upgraded to the Easy Bake Oven option. Thankfully, most grocery stores with bakeries have special offers on their day-old treats. From cookies and buns, to donuts and baked banana bread, you can usually grab a nice cart full of snacks that will take you into

next weekend. In all seriousness, you have the best chances of finding your favorite foods and at the lowest prices by checking the local paper ’s Sunday advertisements. Some of the best bargains can be found at Aldi’s, which has two locations in Lincoln. They may be about half the size of most stores, but if you aren’t planning on cooking extravagant meals for that late night study session, best chances are to go to this store. Otherwise, any of the local Russ’s or Super Savers are just right down the street. ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

TREVOR CULBERTSON DN The Lincoln Children’s Museum will host a night of food, games and fun Friday, but guests must be 18 or older. The fundraising event will be from 7-10 p.m., with tickets $20 per person, $15 per person if in a group over five and just $10 for UNL students with a valid I.D. After 10 p.m., Fuzzy’s Taco Shop on 14th and

O St. will be offering drink and food specials for anyone with proof of admission from Adult Takeover. This will be the third biannual Adult Takeover night. Consistently getting feedback from adults who want to visit, but don’t have any children, thus no reason to go, sparked the idea of Adult Takeover, explained Sharice Kucera, director of marketing at the museum. Adult Takeover night will feature lifesize foosball, a giant pool table, oversized ladderball, bucketpong, inflatable jousting, four square, jumbo jenga and mega twister, with activities being both indoors and outdoors. In addition to the numerous life-sized games, there will be music, a food truck and a cash bar. Sharice said for people who grew up in Lincoln going to the Lincoln Children’s Museum as children, coming back to see all the new additions and how the museum has changed is especially gratifying. “We have tons of games just meant for adults, but it’s awesome to watch the adults play like kids in all the exhibits. It’s funny to watch someone who’s 6’ 4” get in this little fire truck, play in the bank and pretend to be a sports reporter,” Sharice said. “It’s exciting to watch adults come to the museum and kind of relive their childhood for a night.” Aimed at being a very active event, guests are invited to wear loose-fitting or athletic clothing. Tickets can be purchased at LincolnChildrensMuseum.org or at the door. Lincoln Children’s Museum is located downtown at 1420 P Street.

Eat humanely, even if not a vegetarian Jessie Gray

’m at a restaurant with some friends, and the waiter is going around the table taking our orders. Someone orders chicken noodle soup; someone else gets a ham and cheese panini. As he approaches me, I ask if there’s any way to make the chicken alfredo vegetarian. Of course there is, he tells me, and moves to the friend on my right. She looks at me with big guilty eyes as she orders a cheeseburger and immediately apologizes after the waiter moves on. This happens almost every time a friend realizes I’m vegetarian. Each time, I explain my abstinence from meat is a completely personal choice, and I’m not going to storm out of a restaurant because people are eating it in front of me. Over the years, it has become apparent many people who choose to eat meat really internalize a lot of guilt about that part of their lives and, not surprisingly, it seems to come to the surface when they eat it in front of a vegetarian. My level of guilt about consuming meat compelled me to completely stop eating it about eight years ago. For some people, that’s simply not a lifestyle choice they’re

willing to make. Enjoying the taste of meat natural life before succumbing to its unfortunate position on the food chain? doesn’t make you a bad person.

The most reliable labels are the official certifications from the ASPCA, which tell you specific information about how the animal was raised. Other than carefully checking labels at the grocery store, eating meat humanely can be done by purchasing food at the farmers’ market or in bulk from a humane butcher. At a restaurant it would be ideal to research its meat beforehand, but it’s not uncommon to simply ask about the way the meat was raised. If the waiter doesn’t know, it’s OK to order a vegetarian option, which tend to be delicious, and look it up later if you want to visit again. As far as prices go, eating humanely does cost more. There are two options here: either understand we currently pay far too little for factory farmed meat products and start giving your money to this cause or simply eat less of it. We’re paying more to cover the cost of that animal’s well being and to support compassionate farmers, which is certainly worth those couple extra bucks. Consuming meat in a humane way is not only very possible, but it’s truly the only way we as a society can even come close to ending the horrors of factory farming.

Money increasingly troubling in politics Miranda Cannon

y political science classes are always full of pessimists. When we talk about what drives politics, most people answer money over caring about citizens or trying to make the world a better place. A

majority of the time, I don’t agree with my peers on this. I like to think the glass is half full. However, here in Nebraska, I might have to start agreeing with the pessimists. Money in politics has been a huge issue in every election cycle because of the controversial Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision in 2010. Since getting the “Good-Housekeeping-seal-of-approval,” it seems as if there’s been a psychological shift in how we think about election funding. More people (and corporations – because there apparently isn’t a difference between the two) have donated in larger amounts without shame. Nebraska has been relatively sheltered from money in politics, but after a surprisingly liberal legislative session didn’t result the way our new governor, Pete Ricketts, wanted it to, we’re see-

ing it right here at home. This isn’t necessarily limited to Ricketts, but it is the first truly flagrant use of money for a personal political goal and is a huge shift from how we have done politics in our state thus far. I’m talking, of course, about the petition to stop the death penalty repeal. This past May, at the end of an incredibly surprising legislative session, the Nebraska legislature voted 32-15 to abolish the death penalty, the first time a red state has done so in over 40 years. Ricketts opposed this and vetoed the bill, but his veto was overridden 30-19. After this, Ricketts made it his mission to get the death penalty up for a vote in 2016 and kill as many death row inmates as possible before the bill went into effect. You can’t blame the guy for his enthusiasm. However, that enthusiasm is concerning when he’s the ex-

ecutive branch of the state government (the branch that exists to enforce laws) and decides to actively use his own money to destroy a law he doesn’t like. This summer the group Nebraskans for the Death Penalty started a petition to put the death penalty on the 2016 ballot. Part of this petition made it so that if they got enough support, the bill abolishing the death penalty wouldn’t be able to go into effect. The group raised $400,000 during the time it spent trying to get signatures. The biggest supporter? Governor Ricketts with a contribution of $200,000. The second biggest contributor was his father, the former CEO of TD Ameritrade, Joe Ricketts, with

Loosen building codes for better urban living

illennials like cities. In fact, 85 percent of millennials say they prefer urban-style living according to the Knight Foundation. Couple that with the 68 percent of college-educated 25 to 34-yearolds who say they first look for the place they want to live, and then for a job, and you’ve got a lot of demand for new urban living options. This demand has manifested itself in the transformation of many American downtowns. Here in Lincoln, approximately 13 acres of downtown land have been redeveloped solely for off-campus student housing in the last three years. I find it strange my peers remain so uneducated on the forces that impact affordability and design of redevelopment projects. The source of our negligence is that we assume the interests of private investor and government agencies are always in equilibrium when it comes to redevelopment. What’s interesting is a love for cities is considered liberal, while a love for suburbs is considered conservative. This seems paradoxical because the free market has historically favored dense, diverse and dynamic cities while it was the progressive activists of the mid-20th century who first introduced zoning, giving birth to the suburbs. In fact, it was liberal housing policies of slum clearance and urban renewal which decimated historic neighborhoods and left physical and social scars still visible today. To heal these scars and achieve the progressive goal of affordable housing, socially liberal millennials need to actively seek out the deregulation of city planning. Recall that 85 percent of millennials say they prefer urban-style living. You may be perplexed to learn, according to the latest provide a set amount of parking no matter U.S. Census Bureau data, 1,250,000 millennihow many tenants actually want a parking als emigrated from cities to suburbs in 2014, spot.

Zoning laws that limit the Parking requirements also add to costs type and size of buildings you can build in of development by forcing developers to an area effectively freeze neighborhoods in

ART BY DUNCAN REED | DN whatever premature state they were in when the zoning laws were enacted. For example, the R4 zoning in Lincoln’s South Salt Creek neighborhood means that nothing bigger than currently exists can be built. Just south of the Haymarket, with several urban amenities, this neighborhood will only become more desirable with time. If new housing cannot be built here, it is likely that rents in the area will increase as young professionals seeking these amenities push out the lower income renters who currently reside there. Because people with more economic means will always be able to displace people with less economic means, gentrification occurs when cities do not let neighborhoods grow and evolve. Displacing a city’s most vulnerable populations can wreak havoc on their prospects of upward mobility. The progressive idea of walkable living and social equity, then, cannot coexist without a progrowth strategy. If we never let cities evolve, the Haymarket would still be a heavy industrial area and downtown would only be a few blocks by a few blocks. Up until the 1960s, every city in the world had been built by developers building wherever they could make the most money. Moving back to this model would be beneficial for affordability by allowing developers to meet demand and build housing on inexpensive land such as derelict shopping centers.

Moreover, the free market acts as a de facto safeguard against bad development. For example, a developer would never build industrial in a residential area because residential land is generally the most expensive in the city. Zoning will, however, prevent dull mono-use areas from evolving into the vibrant mixed-use areas that millennials crave. As the political dance in America so often goes, the progressive intellectual community has turned the conservative “probusiness” argot against them. It’s become a way of quickly dismissing the right wing of being selfish, uncaring and even vacuous. But I didn’t reach my ideas about urbanism through a conservative lens. I read Jane Jacob’s manifesto on street life and “the sidewalk ballet” and Mindy Fullilove’s sensitive accounts of American diasporas, gentrification and urban decay. So I ask of you, don’t assume that the interests of private investors and government agencies are always in equilibrium. Stand up for cities. And don’t be afraid to be a pro-growth, pro-business, yes-in-my-backyard millennial. PAUL SUTTER IS A SOPHOMORE ARCHITECTURE MAJOR.

Throwback Thursday: 1976 election

hear voices from the 60s, calling me back to a time when politics in America were not concerned with a choice between two candidates with slightly differing ideologies but to a time when the political process reflected the turmoil within a nation divided. In 1968, a man came out of Minnesota to change the entire structure of politics in that year and subsequently every year since then. That man has returned in 1976 – returned with his vision for America and his hopes for the future. Gene McCarthy is that man and that choice, running this time as an independent candidate for the presidency. For those of you who do not remember or who never knew, McCarthy changed the entire scene in Democratic party politics in 1968 when he forced then President Lyndon Johnson out of the race by his strong showing in the New Hampshire primary. He campaigned against the Vietnam War. Johnson’s departure opened the way for other candidates such as Bobby Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey to enter. The scenario continues as Kennedy is assassinated and the Democratic party is thrown into the blood-drenched convention in Chicago, eventually giving us the Hump for a candidate. Of course the horrid ending to this whole little story is that the voting public then proceeded to elect Richard Nixon, and we all know where that led. Clean Gene has returned to give to the American political process and this election an alternative to the partisan division of the past. An alternative to government by veto in the case of the Republican party and its nominee, and to unchecked rule if the Democratic party would control the Congress and the White House. McCarthy will present a point of view which, although prevalent among many (as evidenced by George McGovern’s nomination in 1972) is absent today. It’s a point of view, which needs to be heard, yet the supposedly apolitical League of Women Voters, the sponsor of the debates of 1976, refuse to allow McCarthy to join Ford and Carter. In my mind and in the minds of others, Gene McCarthy could make the debates something worth watching. To think about Gene McCarthy and what he represents is to bring to mind the frightening fact that young people and particularly college students have taken a 180 degree turn in eight short years. College students today do not give a damn about politics or their chance to influence where this nation is going and why. Youth have the worst voting percentage of any age group in the nation, yet the common complaint is that the government is corrupt, run by leaders for their own personal gain at the expense of the taxpayer and that nothing can be done.

Attitude Troubling

This attitude troubles me greatly, and questions come to mind. Questions such as: What happened to the social consciousness of the 60s? Did it go down the tubes in the rush to get a job? Where is the choice of the student in policymaking? Do we stop caring about the direction this country is going just because Vietnam is over and we don’t have to worry about getting drafted and sent over to fight? What has happened to student involvement and concern on issues more important than when we can go to the bars or who is going to win the football game Saturday?

EDITORIAL POLICY The editorial above contains the opinion of the fall 2015 Daily Nebraskan Editorial Board. It does not necessarily reflect the views of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, its student body or the University of Nebraska Board of Regents. A column is solely the opinion of its author; a cartoon is solely the opinion of its artist. The Board of Regents acts as publisher of the Daily

Nebraskan; policy is set by the Daily Nebraskan Editorial Board. The UNL Publications Board, established by the regents, supervises the production of the paper. According to policy set by the regents, responsibility for the editorial content of the newspaper lies solely in the hands of Daily Nebraskan employees.

In 1968, thousands of students got clean for Gene, taking time to help in a cause that they believed in. It was the voice of the young that started the movement against the Vietnam War, a voice heard through violence but also a voice heard through participation. Gene McCarthy heard this voice of concern in the nation and felt so himself. In 1972, George McGovern urged America to come home, home to a nation which cared about its people and well being, to bring back to this nation a sense of direction for positive change – but he was rejected.

McCarthy bringing chance

In 1976, Gene McCarthy is bringing the American people a chance to think about what our system is and what it is capable of being. There is no Vietnam this year, thank God, but many of the same questions still remain and need to be asked. Gene McCarthy will ask these questions and he will demand answers. Realistically, even McCarthy realizes that his chances to win are at best slim in this era of million-dollar campaigns. Federal laws limit in-

THROWBACK: FROM 12

CANNON: FROM 10 a donation of $100,000. This isn’t about whatever my opinion may be about the death penalty. What this is about is that the head of our state government, the sole person really in charge of enforcing our laws, is using his own wealth to govern the way he wants. It’s especially concerning when he’s trying to actively govern against what his constituents want. According to an ACLU poll in April, 58 percent of Nebraskans oppose the death penalty when they’re presented with other options (such as life in prison), while only 30 percent support it. This isn’t the first time Ricketts used his own wealth to get ahead in Nebraska politics. In 2006, Ricketts ran for senate against Ben Nelson and poured $11 million of his own money into his campaign. This obviously is a lot different than trying to change a law while governor, but it still shows something dangerous – that our highest elected official is willing to spend as much money as it takes to try and get what he wants. We don’t have recall elections in Nebraska, so Ricketts has the potential to get away with a lot if we aren’t wary of what he does while in office. There have been many negative effects from the rise of money in politics

throughout the country, but usually on a national scale. Super PACs have become more prominent, and dark money (untraceable funds that people dump in large quantities to non-profits) is changing the course of national elections. Citizens know they oppose the new prominence of money in politics, but it’s always been hard to pinpoint why because it’s mostly been shady behind the scenes deals and speculation. That’s why it’s so insane that the most outright example of a consequence of money in politics is happening here at home. We need to pay serious attention to the growing problem of money in our state politics before it’s too late, and we need to hope this doesn’t start happening all over the country. I like to think politicians are trying to do something for the greater good, but when I see things such as the borderline corruption that happened here this year, it makes me wonder if the pessimists are on to something.

dependent candidates and create problems with getting media exposure. But do not ignore him. Gene McCarthy may possibly be the most qualified candidate of the year. McCarty will, given the chance, make Ford and Carter answer the hard questions, make them attack the real issues and present America with a viewpoint of a man who sees a road ahead for this nation which differs from the two parties and still represents a sizeable portion of the people. If nothing else, Gene McCarthy deserves the respect of every American who believes in our

system of government because it is only through constant examination and then positive change that it survives and men such as McCarthy provide this examination and move for change. I consider Gene McCarthy a man of courage and knowledge – a man whom I respect and a man deserving of your attention. THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PUBLISHED THE ABOVE EDITORIAL BY L.
