LETTER FROM THE EDITOR What do you see when you hear the national anthem? What images run through your head as you hear the famous words “O say can you see”? Me? I see the military. I see a young boy crying, devastated at the tragic loss of his father or mother, hugging a folded flag. I also see the pure, unadulterated joy of a mom as her son returns from a tour in the service. As the song finishes with a majestic “Home of the brave,” I always see a vivid image of D-Day soldiers storming the beaches of Normandy, unsure of their future on this earth while fighting for ours. The anthem depicts values of sacrifice and honor that our military exemplifies. It embodies the love for nation and sense of duty that the greatest of patriots have championed by offering their lives for us. I am often moved to the brink of tears as this magnificent song is played and I

a bigger statement, the significance of the anthem rings loud. It has fostered debate — some healthy, some not so healthy — and it has given our nation a way to engage in discourse about the well-being of our society. Ultimately, the song stands for the ideals we value as Americans. So take a minute and think, what does the national anthem mean to you? Yours truly,

ponder these images. But that’s just me. It won’t and shouldn’t mean the same thing to everyone. You can’t expect the national anthem of a country as diverse as America to evoke the same feelings for each of its citizens. That’s the beauty of our anthem, and it’s the beauty of our country. Same words, same tune, different emotions. Recently, Colin Kaepernick has prompted a national debate over his decision to sit during the national anthem in respect to violence against African Americans. It has been wide-ranging and often times heated. If the debate over the national anthem has shown us anything, it’s that the national anthem still means something to Americans. More than hollow words, it is an emblem for the triumphs and struggles of America. Whether you believe you need to rise for the anthem or that sitting for it makes

StarTran brings big changes to routes
Jessica Larkins dn staff writer
Big changes are coming to StarTran, affecting almost every route and rider in the city of Lincoln. Beginning on Oct. 3, StarTran Bus Service will alter its routes and extend operating time on individual routes. These will be the biggest changes of the Lincoln bus service since it was renamed StarTran in 1989. Bus routes will now avoid residential streets and will increase in frequency during mid-day on popular routes. StarTran will run the same routes they do during the week on Saturday. However, the time schedules will be different during the weekend. New routes will service areas of Lincoln not previously covered by bus service and will reach as far as the Super Target on South 40th Street. New routes will also reach the Lincoln Airport.
StarShuttle, which loops down into the Haymarket with Route 55 of the bus service, will start running hours later into the evening. The current practice of “flagging down” buses will no longer be continued. Anyone wishing to be picked up by the bus must be at a designated bus stop. Riders also cannot choose to be dropped off anywhere along the route after Oct. 3. These changes are coming as a result of the 2016 Transit Development Plan Study conducted by StarTran. The purpose of the study was to identify “service gaps, transit needs and opportunities for service improvements,” according to the City of Lincoln’s website. Routes 22, 23, 24 and 25 all run on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s City, Innovation and East campuses. No changes will be coming to these routes, according to Dan Carpenter, the director of Parking and Transit

UNL prepares for final stages of reaccreditation Emma Olson dn staff writer
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is preparing for the final stages of reaccreditation in the coming months. Accreditation is the process of an external group reviewing a college, university or education program for quality and improvement. The process uses self-evaluation, peer review, institutional response, formal education activities and other essential activities of a university to evaluate a school. The Higher Learning Commission accredits post-secondary education schools. UNL is a member of the HLC and has been accredited since 1913. The last time UNL underwent this process was in 2006. Interim Senior Vice Chancellor Marjorie Kostelnik said the process is like a checks and balances procedure for students that ensures universities are doing and accomplishing what they said they would. To prepare, the university planned three open forums for students, faculty and staff. The last forum will be on Sept. 15 beginning at 11 a.m. in the Cottonwood Room in the East Campus Union. This process is important for UNL as it assures the university meets nationally endorsed standards, makes continuous improvement and is held accountable for reaching its mission. As a result, accredited universities tend to stick out more than non-accredited universities. “I think that going to an accredited university would benefit students in the long run, not only when you apply for jobs but even graduate schools well,” said Kalleigh Petersen, a senior nutrition and health sciences major. “Since the job force and graduate school admissions are growing more competitive each year, it’s important to stick out and if that means getting a better education, then it will hopefully be more helpful when you’re trying to reach your goals.”
haley heesacker | dn Part of the reaccreditation process requires the university to submit an executive summary explaining why UNL deserves accreditation. The statement includes five criteria. The first part of the statement is UNL’s mission, which the summary outlines as, “As Nebraska’s only public, research-intensive, land grand research university, UNL’s mission—to teach, do research and serve Nebraskans—is reflected in its academic programs, student support services, and its enrollment profile.”
For criterion two, the university ensures integrity, ethical and responsible conduct. UNL says its mission is guided by both state and federal law in combination with the Board of Regent’s policies. The third criterion ensures quality, resources and support in teaching and learning. The statement says the university provides high quality education no matter what the delivery is of that education. The fourth criterion requires evaluation and
improvement in teaching and learning. The proposal reads, “UNL has invested in developing authentic assessment and data collection processes for improved retention, persistence, time to degree and student learning. The final criterion is resources, planning and institutional effectiveness. The statement said UNL makes the most of its resources to ensure movement toward overall goals. This process began during the 2014-2015 school year. During the first year of the process, the criterion work group met and the assurance argument was drafted. From 2015 to 2016 the assurance argument was reviewed and edited and the campus and community group also reviewed the document. The final version was completed July 2016. To view the entire timeline of the reaccreditation process visit the senior vice chancellor for academic affairs website. During the 2016-2017 school year, a team from HLC will visit UNL’s campus as a part of the renewal of UNL’s accreditation. The visit has been confirmed for Oct. 24 and 25 of this year. Kostelnik said the HLC team is made up of individuals from peer institutions that are trying to achieve similar goals as UNL. Although they are unsure of exact details, Kostelnik said they are sure the team will want to meet with UNL students. “Students have a chance to have a say for the current and future actions of their university,” Kostelnik said. “We obviously wanted students to tell the truth about their interactions with university and staff.” NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM
STARTRAN: FROM PAGE 3 Services at UNL. The routes on campus might not be changing, but the new routes and rule changes will still affect UNL students. For students such as Dawn Klabenes, a freshman animal science major, the bus system on campus is how she travels across Lincoln. “I live on East Campus, so the buses are the best way to get around,” she said.
Route 24, which connects City Campus to East Campus, has the highest average ridership out of all of the StarTran routes, according to the Transit Development Plan Study. On average, about 2,307 people board this route every weekday. Ending the policy of allowing bus riders to stop anywhere along the route is the biggest issue Klabenes sees with the upcoming changes.
“Personally it won’t affect me because I get on and off at bus stops, but people pull the string to stop quite a bit,” she said. Tsehaynesh Ghidey, a sophomore political science and pre-law major, said she mostly uses the bus to get around campus but will occasionally use StarTran to go to off-campus locations. “I’ve seen signs on the bus about the changing routes, but I haven’t seen anything
about not being able to flag buses down anymore,” Ghidey said. “I like the routes just the way they are.” NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

UNL team works to save ancient Chacoan buildings staff
A professor and graduate student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln are partnering with NASA to build a digital map network to plot all known ancient Chacoan constructions in the southeast United States to inform oil and gas companies and prevent future damage to the sites. The Chacoan people settled in the San Juan Basin of modern-day New Mexico over 1,200 years ago and have many ruins spanning Utah, Arizona and Colorado. Carrie Heitman, an assistant professor of anthropology at UNL, is known for her expertise in Chacoan culture. Heitman has conducted prior work with collecting a database of known Chacoan great houses and roads in the San Juan Basin with help from Sean Field, a graduate student in UNL’s Department of Anthropology, and funding from the National Park Service. The project was aimed to inform the Bureau of Land Management to decide where to lease land for oil and gas development in the area.
When the National Park Service contacted the NASA DEVELOP program, which focuses on addressing environment and policy concerns, to work on finding ancient Chacoan ruins in the Chaco Canyon, Heitman suggested that her prior work on the great houses would help lay a foundation for the study. The NASA Develop team uses data from thermal soil imaging, hyper-spectral data and Google Earth to track the locations of great houses. They discovered that out of the 123 sites they located, 44 were at risk from oil and gas harvesting and storage facilities, as well as concrete roads. The group plans to continue the exploration in 2017, with new technology from NASA adding more possibilities to the research conducted. NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

UNL student robbed at gunpoint Tuesday night staff
A University of Nebraska-Lincoln student was robbed at gunpoint off campus Tuesday night. Lincoln Police said the 22-year-old man was walking near 23rd and S streets when a man approached him asking for money at about 9 p.m. The student gave the man $2 but he demanded more money, according to a Lincoln Journal Star story. After the student handed the man his money, three more men approached the student and one pulled a handgun, demanding his belongings, according to the story. The student told police he gave the men his phone and wallet, but they demanded his backpack too. The student refused and the men threw him to the ground and attacked him. Eventually, they took off with the student’s backpack, phone and wallet. LPD doesn’t have any suspects at this time and descriptions of the men were not provided. NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

New halal foods provide otions in dining halls Elizabeth Rembert dn staff writer
Muslim Student Association board member Baraeera Iqbal easily lists off what she should and should not eat to obey Islamic dietary law. “I know what marshmallows I can eat, what marshmallows I can’t eat,” she said. “And rice krispie bars – stay away from those.” Until this month, Iqbal’s ‘off-limits’ list also included all meat and animal products in every university dining hall. Sept. 6, for the first time, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Dining Services provided halal meat, which means the way the type of animal and the way it was slaughtered adheres to Islamic law. Pork is forbidden, and to conform to halal slaughter practices, Allah’s name must be pronounced during the slaughter, the conscious animal must be slit at the throat and the meat must be bled dry before consumption. “Tuesday was the first time I’ve ever had a halal Italian meatball,” Iqbal said. “It was amazing.” Before her first meatball, Iqbal would walk around the dining halls, checking off what she couldn’t eat. Hamburgers? No. Pizza? No. Pasta with meat sauce? No. She’d settle on salad and breadsticks, but it got tiresome, Iqbal said. “Vegetarianism is wonderful and completely possible,” Iqbal said. “But it’s not a part of my diet. So why was I having to live like it was?” Iqbal said she appreciated the dining halls’ delicious food and friendly staff, but she started to feel she was wasting her money. “Eventually, I was like, ‘Why am I whining about this?’” she said. “I might as well go ask if something can be done.” But when she met with the assistant director of dining, Pam Edwards, in February, she was surprised by their conversation. “I went there fully preparing to be shot down,” Iqbal said. “But I sat down with her, and we had a conversation about what could

be done.” Edwards said UNL Dining had received several requests from Muslim students to provide halal meat, and Iqbal’s meeting gave UNL Dining the push to make a change. The Muslim Student Association collaborated with UNL Dining to answer questions and discuss ideas, while UNL Dining worked to identify recipes and find suppliers. “It was a process we’re used to going through,” Edwards said. “We took steps, talked with individuals and determined availability.” After six months of planning, UNL Dining has started a five-week trial period in which the halal menu will be offered at Selleck Dining Center once or twice a week. During the trial period, UNL Dining will asses the necessity and popularity of the menu. “We’re going to take it week by week and see how it is received,” Edwards said. Iqbal is thrilled to see her values and needs addressed. “In all the schools I’ve been to, from California to Georgia to Nebraska, in 15 years of public school education, I’ve never had halal food – ever,” Iqbal said. “While my friends were eating pepperoni pizza, I was eating carrot sticks.” With its halal offerings, UNL joins the 12 percent of the nation’s major universities that serve halal meat, as reported by a 2010 Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America study. Non-muslim students should feel comfortable eating the halal food as well, Iqbal said. “In the end, it’s just food,” Iqbal said. “And who doesn’t want to eat tandoori chicken?” There’s been surprise and disbelief in the Muslim student community that the university is offering halal food, which makes Iqbal think the program is about more than just chicken and meatballs. “This small weekly section in Selleck signifies a lot of things – acceptance, representation, respecting and valuing others’ beliefs,” she said. “We’re taking an understanding look at people from other cultures, not just cringing at the differences.” NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Lincoln’s doughnut scene is expanding rapidly
Stephanie Cavazos & Johnny Keeley dn staff writers
For those looking to get their doughnut fix, the number of suppliers in Lincoln totals more than a baker’s dozen. After the opening of Hurts Donut Co. this summer, Lincoln has never seen such a competitive market for doughnuts. Hurts is the most recent addition to the Lincoln doughnut landscape. Since opening on June 27, the popularity has exceeded the co-owner Trent Vargason’s already high expectations. Vargason said the company chose Lincoln because of it’s proximity to campus and thus, exposure to college students. “(Lincoln’s) a cool, hip college town,” Vargason said. He also said the city has welcomed the business, keeping the 24/7 shop busy — something Lincoln’s pastry community hasn’t seen yet. “We’re making doughnuts all day,” he said. “We might as well be open all day.” The system has proved successful after booming popularity on social media and word of mouth. The Doughnut Hole restaurant, too, has seen rising success within the business. The farmer’s market stand turned restaurant storefront has seen exponential growth. After nearly three years in the Haymarket, the restaurant needed a larger location to accommodate for the growing business. “The old location was nowhere close to big enough,” Michael Gogan, the current owner of The Doughnut Hole said. “We needed a bigger kitchen.” Gogan bought the restaurant nearly 15 months ago from the Nate and Lucas Gingery who started the business back in 2013. Gogan said he and his business partner bought the franchise because they had a vision. They saw potential in the Lincoln doughnut market, and knew they could take The Doughnut Hole a step further. “The product is phenomenal,” he said.
The new doors on 48th Street and Old Cheney Road opened for the first time Sept. 12, after preparation for the move was complete. The store offers not only a variety of coffee, but endless drink options. The Doughnut Hole is the only shop in Lincoln that offers Stumptown coffee from Oregon too, according to Gogan, which he said he believes is a big part of what sets them apart from the rest. Gogan also said their doughnut recipe is old-school, something that differs from other businesses. It’s a yeast-based recipe, something Gogan said most new doughnut spots don’t incorporate anymore — instead using cake to heighten and enhance flavors. “We focus on that good quality doughnut,” Gogan said. “I feel so strongly and confident about it. The basic, glazed doughnut will really show you what the product is.” Mastering the classic doughnut isn’t something new. LaMar’s Donuts, established in Kansas City in 1960, has over 25 franchise locations. The closest location to the University of NebraskaLincoln campus is at 16th and Q Streets. Joey Mims has been the store manager of LaMar’s for six weeks. He said the recent increase in doughnut competition hasn’t had a large impact on sales. He said business has been steady because of previously established customer loyalty. “Competition is good, it drives things,” Mims said. “We’ll do us, they’ll do them.” LaMar’s still offers doughnuts for less than $1, which differs from most of the gourmet doughnut shops in Lincoln. A dozen of doughnuts costs the same whether the customer chooses the contents or the restaurant does — something Hurts Donuts charges for, he said. LaMar’s Donuts is a staple in the Lincoln doughnut game, something Mims said he’s proud of. “We do one thing and we do it well,” Mims said.

BUCHNAT: ‘Snowden’ good concept, poor execution Ben Buchnat dn staff writer
Oliver Stone’s “Snowden” promises viewers with an exciting and suspenseful story. However, the movie ends up being a thriller with no thrills trapped in a bland love story. When I saw the trailer for the film, I was excited. An inside look at one of the most dramatic moments in recent U.S. history, what’s not exciting about that? I was looking forward into seeing how Edward Snowden pulled off exposing the actions of the National Security Agency. Unfortunately, the movie lacks any pacing or urgency that a film like this requires to entertain. Events just kind of happen with no real build up or underlying dramatic tensions around them. The time-lines jump from period to period with a flimsy narrative holding it together. This is especially prominent in the underwhelming climax in which Snowden, played well by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is trying to sneak out an SD card full of classified information to expose the NSA. While Snowden had been morally struggling with his work for a while, he seems to just choose one day to randomingly become the biggest whistleblower in the history of the United States. No suspense and we know how he gets away with it, since it was shown in all of the trailers for the film. Gordon-Levitt tried to put on a good performance, but the weak script doesn’t give him much ground to stand on. He did a good job of capturing the essence of Snowden. The makeup and costuming crew make him look pretty close to the real Snowden. I forgot I was watching Gordon-Levitt acting in a movie about Snowden; I bought into his character. Although Levitt did the best with what he had, the movie’s preachiness prevents his performance from having any substance or complexity. From the beginning, there are multiple allusions to patriotism and that Snowden would be a great man. The film paints him as a savior-like figure with only a few flaws. Regardless of a person’s opinions on the real human, portraying the character in that light makes him less interesting. A good character should have interesting flaws, but Snowden’s only saving grace is that he cares too much about protecting others. Something that really broke my immersion was the film’s inconsistent style. Most of the movie is shot in this pseudo-realistic style that looked good and fit in. However, it would randomly switch to computer-generated imagery and special effects for no reason. Not only was it jarring and unnecessary, the sequences contained the worst special effects I’ve seen
in a movie for a long time. Along with the way it was shot, the music choices in this movie are distracting at best and completely incompatible at worst. The use of dubstep to heighten the intensity of a
Snowden is full of political drama and intrigue, the movie spends a lot of time on the relationship between Snowden and his girlfriend, Lindsay Mills, played by Shailene Woodley. Woodley is out-acted by Levitt in almost

time on their relationship, why is there no depth or nuance to their interactions? Most of their scenes go like this, Woodley is happy until Levitt comes back stressed out from work. They fight and Woodley almost leaves him for good until something convinces her to always come back. The worst moment between the two was probably the gratuitous sex scene toward the beginning of the movie. While the point of the scene made sense in context and meaning, there were about 10 to 15 seconds of awkward love-making that only seemed to serve giving the movie an R rating for edginess. There were some good ideas throughout the movie, but most of them were poorly executed. The journalist subplot was interesting, with editors being contacted by the White House and arguments over the ethics of this story. However, these segments are skimmed over and are only really used as a loose way to connect the various timelines of Snowden’s life that film jumps to. The humor was surprisingly strong and somewhat self-aware. My favorite joke in the movie referred to a character looking like Captain America actor Chris Evans. Nicolas Cage also gets a few jokes in, but most of them are funny because it’s Nicolas Cage and not because the writing was good. The escape sequence at the end was the only exciting part of the movie. It was well-shot and the first scene in the whole movie that was suspenseful. Again, it’s just skimmed over and it’s not good enough that it justifies the rest of the movie. This would have been a strong ending if the movie didn’t end on another motivation speech. Only this time, it was delivered by the actual Edward Snowden. While a nice touch, it just adds to the movie’s saint-like perception of the person. The dramatic music returns this time and it really doesn’t work, since it’s about the fourth or fifth time it’s been used by then. Overall, Snowden ended up being one of the most boring and underwhelming movies I’ve seen this year. Filled with an uninteresting script, bland pacing and terrible special effects, I wouldn’t recommend Snowden to anyone wanting to be entertained. Most of the theater audience seemed to agree since only a small group of young adults near the back clapped when the movie was over. ARTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Lincoln band brings community feel to music Wade Ronspies dn staff writer
Walk By Sea isn’t just a band - they’re a family too. Not bound by blood, but by friendship and an intense passion for playing music. They live together, sleep together and eat together. And, of course, they make music together. Made up of Jacob Ignagni (guitar/vocals), Zach Visconti (guitar/vocals), Kade Clark (bass/vocals) and Brandon Ramos (drums/vocals), Walk By Sea is a band focused on community-based on music. Self-described as “a combination of really intense post-rock dynamics clashed with indie folk music,” Walk By Sea offers a passionate sound. “For fans of Metallica and Slayer, we are perfect,” Ignagni jokingly said. “Also R. Kelly.” “Or if you like hip hop,” Visconti added. The band members met at Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska. After graduating, they relocated to Lincoln last June purely to play music and build a community. “People come over every weekend and we’ll hang out and have a good time,” Visconti said. “That’s kind of how the shows are, too,” Ignagni added. “People hang out after
araya santo | dn
the show, and the bars have to kick them out.” Not having much experience playing live music before coming to Lincoln, Walk By Sea were eager to make an impression. Their first major show was three years ago, and they had only written one song and had never played a live show before. Immediately they were thrust into a trial by fire, as they soon found themselves on The Bourbon’s main stage. “We’re playing the show and the last song, Kade’s strap lock broke off his bass, and his bass flew out and the head of the bass broke off,” Visconti said. That same bass guitar once belonged to Kade’s favorite bassist of all time (according to Ignagni) from a band called August Burns Red. “He sold that bass to Kade and Kade broke that bass at our first big show,” Ignagni said. “I walk outside and he’s sitting down,
just holding this bass. I thought it was pretty rock ’n’ roll.” Walk By Sea have had their fair share of hilarious mishaps and antics onstage. The band recalled a memory they had in Denver, Colorado. Coming off of what Ignagni said was “one of (his) favorite shows (they’ve) ever played” in Fort Collins, the band moved on to a show in downtown Denver on Va l e n t i n e ’s Day. They had figured that nobody would show up, but they made a dedicated performance anyway. “And at the end of the set,” Ignagni said, “Brandon leapt off his drum set and just dove across the stage.” It was in the middle of their big finish, and rather than doing a classic drum fill, Ramos simply hit the drums once and dived onto the stage. Visconti said it was “one of the sickest things I’ve ever seen.”
“People come over every weekend and we’ll hang out and have a good time.”
araya santo | dn
“I think at that point I had enough just staying in one place,” Ramos said. Of course, not every show is like this. Walk By Sea thrives more on stage than in the writing room. They value songwriting as any great band should, but the stage is their main destination. After all, it’s where the community is at. “We kind of just lay everything out,” Zach said. “We’re all kind of in our own place doing our thing.” For Ignagni, he said it’s still weird that people are willing to come to shows and become a part of the experience. After looking up to other bands so much, he said it feels strange that he’s on the other side of it all. “You don’t really expect people to care or engage because you just do, because you love playing music,” Ignagni said. Walk By Sea has a show coming up on Oct. 21, at Vega, which will kick off an upcoming tour. ARTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

All youth theatre company produces third show Nikoel Hytrek dn staff writer
There’s a lot of youth theatre in Lincoln, but there’s only one company run by youth, for youth. The Silicon Prairie Theatre Company, formed in November 2015, has a board composed of anywhere between five and eight high school students. The artistic director, Mackenzie Davenport, is a 17-year-old junior at Lincoln High School. “Me and a bunch of my friends got together and said, ‘Let’s start a theatre company.’” Davenport said. “We kind of just said, ‘Okay the company exists now.’ That’s how it came to be.” Starting their own theater company was something Davenport said he and his friends had always wanted to do. Davenport was interested in directing and hadn’t found any opportunities for youth directors, so he and his friends decided to make a company where he could do just that. “I acted in a few shows and I thought, ‘It’s fun, acting’s great, but I want to direct.’” Davenport said. Davenport directed the company’s first show, “BoeingBoeing,” a French courtesy photo farce with a small, sixperson cast, and, according to Davenport, it was a huge success. The company had rented space in the Haymarket Theater and both nights saw a packed house. Davenport recalled being blown away on opening night, and he wondered how they’d gotten there from having nothing only weeks before. They rehearsed “Boeing-Boeing” for 10 days, eight hours every day. “It was intense,” Davenport said, “But we only had winter break when everyone was free.” The same thing happened in the summer
with the second show, “Death Trap,” a comedy-thriller with a cast of five people, though they had longer to prepare. Davenport said that the company likes doing smaller shows with smaller casts. Though he’s thought about doing bigger, mid-level shows, the company doesn’t want to overstretch itself. None of the members have professional
money exclusively from ticket sales, though they do have a sponsor in A Novel Idea, a used bookstore on 14th Street. For tickets, the theatre company only charges $10. “We break even and then some if we charge $10. I don’t need more money,” Davenport said. The members of the company are involved
experience and none have done theatre for more than five years. “You really just start with a good script. It all comes down to the script,” he said. Once they have a good script, the company gets started. Davenport said that they usually find scripts online by going to the publisher’s websites. Occasionally, directors from other companies will help by pointing them toward scripts they could use. Scripts, rights, rent and any supplies are the company’s only expenses. They raise
because they love doing theatre, so there’s no need to pay anyone. He added, “Bringing money into it would just complicate things.” “At its core, we’re just a bunch of kids doing what we love,” he said. As long as the passion for theatre stays, Davenport said he’ll be happy. A majority of the company consist of juniors at Lincoln High, but it has a lot of sophomores, too. Davenport has been training one, his associate artistic director, to take over when he graduates. Davenport doesn’t intend to stay with the
company after his senior year. None of the older members are. Stacia Ogburn in the company’s executive director and cofounder. According to her, Davenport runs the artistic aspects while she’s in charge of the more technical side. Ogburn confirmed that she would also leave the company after graduation. “The idea of the company is that it’s operated by youth,” she said. Davenport’s not worried about the well-being of the company, though. He said he trusts the others to take care of it. “We started out as friends to an extent. But then, through the company, we’ve grown closer and closer.” Davenport said. “I will be content with the company having three or four strong years and then dissolving. It’s just a vehicle for us to do what we want.” Until then, the company has big plans. There’s a chance for a musical in the future, maybe in the summer. As for now, the company has a show picked out for their winter production. “It’s called ‘Don’t Dress for Dinner,’” Davenport said. The show is a sequel to “Boeing-Boeing” and they’re going to bring back some of the same actors for this one. Davenport will be directing. “It’s kind of a crazy thing, just having a bunch of kids putting on full-scale productions,” Davenport said. But if it’s crazy, then they’ve pulled it off.

BALLER: Immerse yourself in UNL’s culture Brook Baller
dn staff columnist
Day 18. My fellow scholars and I have settled into what feels like our natural habitat: the majestic University of Nebraska-Lincoln. This strange, beautiful land is quite different from small-town Nebraska. Although it’s different, I have this wonderful feeling this region possesses a unique ability for creatures like me to find themselves and fulfill their wildest dreams. Contrary to popular belief, you can succeed at a large university like UNL if you immerse yourself into its culture. The college experience is different for every student that sets foot on campus. That’s why I love it so much here at UNL. There are plenty of reasons why a young person decides to study here, and after just three weeks I have come to discover the path I chose is one filled with many incredible memories.
I can see how easy it is to get lost in a sea of students essentially searching for the same thing: a good education. By getting lost I mean that, both physically and mentally, college freshmen can be overwhelmed at a university. However, the “small fish in a large pond” philosophy doesn’t scare me one bit and I have embraced it with open arms. I’ve found a number of ways to scale down the extreme intensity of this “large pond.” It’s evident that getting involved in multiple programs and activities around campus is very beneficial to one’s intellectual growth and development. I take pride in being wellrounded and involved, but the truth is being in any RSO (Registered Student Organization) molds you into a better person.. Being in a fraternity is one of the best ways to become an involved student. I have been in college for less than a month, and I’ve already participated in charity work and fund-
raising for my fraternity’s philanthropy, as well as performed weekly acts of service like making sandwiches for the poor. This alone has opened my eyes to the beauty of helping the person next to me, no matter who they are or where they come from. It pays to be a part of something bigger. Being in the University Honors Program has also opened my eyes to wonders of being around individuals who value a superb education. I have no doubt in my mind that this university has everything I need in order to succeed in the game of life. There’s so much support out there, you just have to be willing to look for it. On another note, college life is quickly showing me exactly how dependent one actually is on their parents and family in high school. To be honest, it can be hard to adjust,

KUKLINKSI: Grief is natural, takes time to heal
Emily Kuklinski dn staff columnist
Grief is an echo that hollers back. It’s called to me four times since last August. The reverberations have started to concave into ripples, tearing into each other just as rain hits the ocean. And like clockwork, when I think the worst has subsided, I see another storm wall hurl itself forward. I sit up: ears ringing, face wet and hands trembling to discover that another friend of mine has died. As I sit here, paralyzed by the distance between Nebraska and my friend’s fu-
neral, I’m haunted by the sadness I’ve grown too accustomed to. No one expects death. There isn’t a calendar or farmer’s almanac that will tell you what day you can find yourself at a burial. But as sure as the day is long, you can always count on the inevitable chorus that follows the news: We’re thinking of you. We’re sorry for your loss. We’re here for you. And when the chorus ends, you stand looking around the empty church for someone to walk you home. Without a hand to hold, you look back on the memories you shared to guide you out. Whenever death or tragedy rears its head, there’s this need to claim ownership of it. You scour the history of your Facebook friendship to make sure you wished them a happy birthday. You search through photo albums for a picture you might have shared. You check your emails, your Twitter feed, sift through old birthday and thank you cards to find them, but really you just check to make sure you were a part of their life. And that they were a part of yours. Sometimes it feels like you’re grieving without reason or cause. You walk into their funeral alone and find an empty pew so you don’t disturb the service. Tears fall, but you tuck them
away in a Kleenex because you haven’t earned your grief. But losing someone is a universal experience. We all have or will lose someone, whether they’re a loved one, someone we hate or a familiar stranger. They’re relationships that orbit around the us. Some are close, staying within our line of sight each day, while others eclipse or appear only once every couple years. And when one person falls from our sky, no matter how small or far away they were, the orbit is thrown to a halt, and like Atlas we’re forced to hold the worlds in order as if to say “Don’t worry, everything’s fine.” I remember last year, staring down — numb — at my computer screen reading her obituary. I remember breaking down, shaking from this earthquake that tore me to pieces. I didn’t know it would be this violent, but the cracks and tremors couldn’t compare to the feeling that came when I found myself waking up to a world unfazed. People were walking, singing and working. The streets functioned as well as they could with the construction, and the sun found the strength to rise. I guarded my grief, and kept my head down. Juggling life can be hard when you’re
looking down, and slowly pieces of my life started falling apart. And every so often, when the walls began to waver under the stress, I’d reach out. I hurled myself forward, and fell. Because although everyone will go through grief, not everyone has, and if they have it doesn’t mean they know how to help you. But the trick to grief is in knowing everyone doesn’t need to empathize with you. Sometimes it only takes one person, and other times it only takes a moment of silence with yourself to soothe the quakes. And the world, though it still shakes, seems more stable than it was before. Grief is an echo that hollers back. Eventually it softens and blends with the other emotions congesting your thoughts. But like Nebraska weather, you’ll see lightning before the downpour, and the thunder of an echo will hurl you back. I don’t believe anyone knows how to handle someone else’s grief, but when you extend your hands forward you will find some relief. EMILY KUKLINSKI IS A SENIOR ENGLISH AND THEATER DOUBLE MAJOR.

Oregon players to watch Saturday
michael johnson | dn Matt Hardesty dn staff writer
The Oregon Ducks are the next team to roll through Lincoln for a game that is garnering a significant amount of national attention. The Ducks have been an elite program for the last ten years with superior talent for nearly every position. They are known for flashy uniforms, unreal speed and scoring a lot of points. However, a reduction in scholarships for the last three years as a penalty for recruiting violations under former coach Chip Kelly has hurt their depth at some positions, making them a lot more vulnerable in the last year. Even with the penalties, current coach Mark Helfrich has put together a solid team in his third year on the job. Here are the five players you need to know about before this matchup.
Wide receiver Darren Carrington II
No one on this team is better at getting open than Carrington. He can juke defenders, jump higher than them or just run right past them and be wide open. It’s what makes him a projected second round draft pick by many experts. This is a player that has to be watched closely by a defense on every play, or else he will burn them badly.
Wide receiver Devon Allen
Allen has gained national fame over the summer for finishing fifth in the Olympics for Team USA in the 110 meter hurdles, but he is also a great football player. After a strong freshman season, Allen had an unfortunate turn of events when he tore his ACL, MCL, and meniscus returning the opening kickoff of the Rose Bowl. After struggling with his recovery last season he looks like his old self so far this year, catching a
77-yard touchdown pass against Virginia last week. His speed and ability to get open will be tough for NU to cover.
Wide receiver/return man Charles Nelson
If you can’t tell by now, Oregon has a lot of really good wide receivers. But Nelson’s true niche is on special teams, where he has been deadly this season. So far in the 2016 season, he is averaging 17.2 yards per punt return and 31.6 yards per kick return. Nebraska’s had their issues on special teams at times this year, and there is absolutely no room for error against a dangerous return man such as Nelson.
Linebacker Troy Dye
Troy Dye is the first true freshman to start at linebacker for the Ducks in 38 years, which shows his potential. His debut against UC-
Davis in week one was impressive enough to earn him honors as Pac 12 Player of the Week, thanks to 11 tackles, a blocked PAT and a sack. The Ducks will need him to be at his best on Saturday, as their defense has been unimpressive as a unit so far.
Defensive lineman Jalen Jelks
Jelks is a redshirt sophomore who had an impressive season last year. The defensive line may be the biggest weakness on this entire team, but that is certainly not because of Jalen Jelks. He has had a strong start to 2016, with an interception in week one and two sacks last week against Virginia. Jelks has shown continuous improvement on the field since he began last year, and is Oregon’s best hope for slowing Nebraska’s rushing attack. SPORTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Hanna shines on court, and in classroom Aaron Hegarty writer
dn staff
Mary Hanna, one of the top returning members of the Nebraska women’s tennis team on the court, may also be the top returner off the court. Hanna was primarily at the No. 2 singles position for the Huskers last spring, earning a 9-11 record. She was also a part of the Huskers’ winningest doubles team, going 16-4 (6-4 Big Ten) at the No. 2 position with then-freshman Vasanti Shinde. Coach Scott Jacobson said Hanna is a phenomenal doubles player. Hanna was also on the top doubles pairing for the Huskers her freshman year in 2014, going 10-8. “She can hurt you with how heavy she strikes [the ball],” Jacobson said. “She’s a lefty, so her spin serve sometimes gets people in trouble as well. When she’s having a great day it’s really, really tough to battle with her.” Hanna said her favorite moment of her career thus far is when the team took the doubles point from No. 9 Michigan last spring. “I enjoy being out there with my partner,” Hanna said. “It’s a great time. We can have fun but also be serious at the same time.” Hanna has also impressed off the court. She earned a spot on the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team each of the past two years. Last year, she was awarded the Nebraska StudentAthlete HERO Leadership Award, which goes to the top student-athlete on each varsity
team who shows leadership and consistent community service. “She gets out into the community and does a phenomenal job of giving back,” Jacobson said. Hanna said she did volunteer work at elementary schools and retirement communities. “We go and talk to the kids and teach them about nutrition, and why it’s important to stay active,” Hanna said. “Whenever we can tell the kids are having a good time and are enjoying what we’re doing, it’s always really nice and fun for us.” Jacobson said Hanna has been a leader on the team, leading by example on and off the court. “She’s got great energy. She’s very charismatic,” Jacobson said. “She’s really good with the concept of ‘team,’ and she’s very supportive of her teammates. Another thing she does a good job of is coordinating events that bring the team closer together.” Hanna, an advertising and public relations major, has been on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll four times, and was Academic All-Big Ten each of the past two years. The women’s tennis team won the Herman Team GPA award, given to both the top men’s and women’s team with the best combined GPA, four years in a row until 2014.

Jaycie Johnson overcomes torn ACL Trev McDiffett dn staff writer
Jaycie Johnson instantly knew something was wrong when sharp pains rushed up and down her leg. “I tried to stand back up, but my leg wasn’t really supporting my weight.” Johnson said. Johnson, who had scored three goals just nine games into her junior season had torn her ACL. As a freshman, Johnson made a quick impact on the pitch for Nebraska. She led the team in goals and the team won the Big Ten title. “My freshman year was a fairy tale.” Johnson said. “It was a great group of girls I was with.” Johnson’s success continued into her second year. As a sophomore, Johnson led the team in goals for a second straight season and earned herself a spot on the USA under-23 team at the end of the season. “My sophomore year was so fun,” she said. “All my years at Nebraska have been a fun experience.” Johnson’s junior season had gotten off to a good start. She was tied for the team lead in goals and the Huskers were 5-3-1 going into the team’s matchup with No. 12 Penn State.
“It was a big test for us to see how we would do matched up against them,” Johnson said. “Playing Penn State - that’s always a fun challenge.” Nebraska got an early lead to start the game. In the first five minutes, midfielder Caroline Flynn scored the first goal. An upset looked to be in the making. “The momentum was going our way.” Johnson said. H o w e v e r, the momentum would change in the 10th minute. Johnson was dribbling past a Penn State defender who deflected the ball out of bounds. As Johnson began to slow-up, a defender’s foot made contact with the back of Johnson’s knee. “My knee kind of caved in and popped,” she said. Johnson hoped the injury was minimal. A sprain, something that did not require surgery. Unfortunately for Johnson, none of her hopes turned to realities. Johnson underwent surgery for her torn ACL the day after the game, quickly beginning rehab through the University with trainer Lisa Loewenstein.
“She treated rehab the same way she treats practice every day... Her mindset was if she couldn’t practice on the field she was going to give the same effort in rehab.”

BALLER: FROM PAGE 11 but at the same time, I’m now more than ready to tackle the intense challenges that independent life brings. This whole “college” thing really shows you what you’re made of and I love it. College is doing your own laundry and being hyped up when your clothes smell like new and perfectly cleaned. College is learning how to function on as little sleep as possible while trying to get the most out of your free time. It truly is the little things that mean the most. Of course, this is only the beginning of such a wondrous journey into adulthood. College can either build you up to become the person you’ve always dreamt of being or break you down to your weakest, most vulnerable state. When you feel scared and alone, don’t be afraid to reach out and grab the willing hand your peer is outstretching. Most of the time, more people are willing to help than you realize. Never be afraid to ask questions. Ques-
tion everything. I think that the main thing to keep in mind is that no matter where you go, you should never feel alone. A university with such a large and diverse student body like UNL provides its students with endless possibilities to maximize their time here and get the help they need. I can only hope those of you who are reading this feel the same way that I do. As a college freshman it is so easy to feel afraid of the future to come. But for my fellow freshmen, I say we take this new world on with a head full of steam. Within this huge pool we reside at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, if you take the time to look around you, you’ll always find an outstretched fin of a fellow fish to help you along the way.

HANNA: FROM PAGE 13 award the last two years, Hanna said the award motivates the team in the classroom. “Women’s tennis players in general are very strong academically,” Jacobson said. “She definitely has done a good job in that aspect of her life as well.” Hanna said her goal this season is to be All-Big Ten. She said she is expecting good things from the team. “I think we are going to do really well,” she said. “We have some new freshmen that
“She treated rehab the same way she treats practice every day.” Loewenstein said. “Her mindset was if she couldn’t practice on the field she was going to give the same effort in rehab.” While Johnson did work hard rehabbing her injury, not being on the playing field did not sit well with the junior. “The toughest part was sitting out and watching the girls play,” Johnson said. “Being out on the field is a lot better feeling.” While Johnson continued her rehab process, she kept at a steady pace. Not too fast where she could reinjure her knee, but at a pace to get back on the field as soon as possible. “I just took it day-by-day and making sure I was not rushing the process,” she said. “I took what my trainer said head on and just do it day in and day out.”

are coming in and we’re hoping to finish in the top part of the conference this year.” Jacobson said he expects Hanna to continue to be a “great leader” in her senior year. “She’s very committed to having her senior year be her best year of collegiate tennis, and going out on a high note for the University of Nebraska,” Jacobson said.

After months of rehabbing her knee, Johnson was finally able to return to the playing field in May. And her presence has been felt by Nebraska early this season. Through eight games, she has three goals and two assists, leading the Huskers in points and shots. “It was amazing to be back on the field,” Johnson said. “Being able to just touch the ball again and being able to run and cut - it was just unreal. I wasn’t just the girl with a torn ACL; I was a soccer player again.” SPORTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM
