LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Dear reader,

BuzzFeed is the worst.

Headlines like “48 Photos of Vladimir Putin Looking At Things,” “24 Times Neil Patrick Harris And David Burtka Were Annoyingly Adorable” and “How Well Do You Know The ‘90s?” make me squirm in my office’s swivel chair. The site’s blatant attempts to appeal to the lowest common denominator are as irritating as they are successful.

Granted, I look at BuzzFeed almost every day. Much of its content is funny, sharply written and even occasionally informative. Whatever the BuzzFeed gods are doing, it’s working.

If you’re an avid reader of the Daily Nebraskan – a girl can dream – you may have noticed that we’ve succumbed to the dark side.

We’ve started posting listicles, made some of our headlines more “fun” and occasionally forgo AP Style rules in favor of common sense.

I’m totally aware that makes me a hypocrite. It also makes my copy editors hate me a little bit.

But it raises an interesting question: Where should a newspaper draw the line between 21st-century appeal and traditional values?

BuzzFeed is the No. 43 most-visited website in the United States.

Only a handful of news outlets rank above it: CNN, ESPN, Huffington Post, New York Times and Fox News. Readers like their content because it’s relatable, approachable and a little mindless.

And although part of me wants to climb up on my soap box and yell about the degeneration of the American public’s taste in reading material, a bigger, saner part of me knows there’s nothing wrong with people seeking out relatable media.

The DN is never going to be BuzzFeed, and we’re not trying to be.

But we can learn something from the site’s approach.

So we’re seeking out opportunities to tailor our content to our audience. We’re ranking the Big Ten Conference’s creepiest mascots,

publishing tongue-in-cheek guides and turning stories that once would have been covered with 500 words, a two-source minimum and alternating quotes and transitions into numbered lists. And almost without fail, the content that we alter to meet these modern, Web-friendly guidelines receives more views and reader engagement.

We’re doing what we should have done a few years ago: We’re catering to a young reader-base of students who are tired from a full day of class and meetings and studying and don’t want to spend 15 minutes staring at a block of text.

We’re being realistic. And it’s actually pretty fun.

Sincerely, Jacy Marmaduke Editor-in-chief

The Power of

Four Chiara String Quartet members, Rebecca Fischer, Julie Yoon, Greg Beaver and Jonah Sirota practice in Westbrook Hall on Sept. 4. The group will play at Kimball Recital Hall on Friday.

Chiara String Quartet breaks down barriers between performers, audience

n the moments before the music, musicians typically take a breath and focus their gaze upon sheet music.

Before any note is played or breath is taken for the Chiara String Quartet, however, the members focus on each other.

Traditionally, orchestrated music has about 90 musicians who are all kept together and on tempo with the assistance of a conductor. Quartets are not so traditional.

They don’t have a conductor, and their music echoes with the power of four-string instruments. The Chiara String Quartet follows these guidelines in addition to creating rules of their own. For the last 15 years Rebecca Fisher, violinist; Hyeyung Julie Yoon, violinist; Jonah Sirota, violist and Gregory Beaver, cellist; have been globally innovating quartet performance. The group has been working with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for the last 10 years as Hixson-Lied Artists-in-Residence at the Glenn Korff School of Music.

To begin its 14th season, the quartet will play at the Hixson-Lied Kimball Recital Hall Friday at 6 p.m. This season will lack another assumed key piece of material

used by traditional orchestras and quartets; sheet music.

The sound of flipping pages will be absent at the concert.

The group will give its first public performance by heart, tackling pieces by Mozart, Bartok and Brahms. Tickets are $5 for students, $10 for seniors and $20 for adults.

The Chiara String Quartet has made a name for itself by trying new techniques with classic composition. Collectively, before they were officially a group, they said they wanted to spread quartet music across assumed generational boundaries. By revamping their performance to connect with the audience, the group always keeps younger ears in mind.

Having spent nearly 10 years in Lincoln, the quartet has become a music staple in concert halls around the Midwest and a gem to the university. After first being invited to play at the Lincoln Meadowlark Music Festival in 2004, the group was asked to work for UNL and now calls Nebraska home. The Chiara String Quartet has found opportunities that take them around the country and the world. The members feel honored to travel to places such as New York City, Italy and South Korea be-

cause it gives them an opportunity to share their music’s power and complexity with a variety of people.

During rehearsal, they keep a sharp eye on one another, keeping each other on tempo while also playing off each other’s cues. A musical review by The New York Times in 2010 said “The Chiara’s deeply personalized performance sounded so vital.” The group said they want audiences to feel completely immersed in the music. They play without music or stands to create this connection with audience members.

“It really felt like we were playing from our heart,” said Hyeyung Julie Yoon in an interview about their latest recording, “Brahms by Heart,” for a March New York Times article. They push for perfection, stopping periodically during rehearsal to relay ideas or techniques. While they perform, the connection between Rebecca Fischer, Hyeyung Julie Yoon, Jonah Sirota and Gregory Beaver is never broken as they flow through each movement in a piece of music.

Quartet member gives credit to the music ERIN MANSUR DN Jonah Sirota is a longtime friend of Rebecca Fischer ’s and became the Chiara String Quartet’s violist after meeting Gregory Beaver in college. He has an artist diploma in String Quartet Studies from the Juilliard School and has written for the Journal of the American Viola Society.

“I also do some solo playing, and I’ve been commissioning solo viola work,” Sirota said. “I’ve got a duo called Mondegreen. It’s an improv duo with an organ. And I’ve got a son who is 6 (years old). ” Sirota is originally from Boston but lived in eastern Texas, New York and North Dakota before settling with the group in Nebraska.

Each musician relayed a background that’s unique from the rest and Sirota’s story is no different. Sirota was asked to join when

Like the rest of the group, Sirota said he sees them working toward perfecting their musical performance in the future.

“We love to play pieces that are written for us,” Sirota said. “We’ve got this piece coming up that also involves piano written

by Jefferson Freeman, who’s been a friend of ours for years.”

Sirota said “communication, commitment, generosity and love” are most important in creating a powerful quartet.

“It sounds like a marriage actually. There is a lot of giving,” Sirota said.

Cellist hopes to make mark in music world Gregory Beaver, original member of Chiara String Quartet, works toward international presence ERIN MANSUR DN Gregory Beaver is the second original member and creator of the Chiara String Quartet. He’s performed with pianist Soyeon Lee and is the principal cellist of the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra. He’s traveled the globe performing and participating in cello competitions. In 1997 he won the Corpus Christy Young Artist’s Competition.

As Beaver looks to the group’s future, he said he thinks the members will stay together in Nebraska for a while but hopes they will return to places farther from home – this time with more popularity. “(I hope we can play) for many more years together and, hopefully, (make) a mark on the world of string quartets,” Beaver said. “We are doing that in Nebraska, but we want to do it everywhere. To make a real impact it helps to be in a place more than once. Playing places we’ve been before and interacting with the people and sending students out.”

Beaver said he feels there are special traits that keep the group so tightly bound.

“The music, respect for each other, a desire to give to the audience and pragmatism,” Beaver said. “Seeing what is possible and pushing for that. You have to dream a little bit.”

Secular group provides ‘safe space’ Secular Humanists of UNL invite both believers, nonbelievers to find common ground in discussion CHAS BOGATZ DN University of Nebraska-Lincoln students have a wide array of places to visit for spiritual fulfillment. Going to school in a state where nearly 92 percent hold a religious affiliation allows for vibrant religious communities on campus. But one registered student organization attempts to create a space for those without religious affiliation.

The Secular Humanists of UNL is an affiliate of the Secular Student Alliance, a national nonprofit organization aimed at empowering nontheistic students. SHUNL has been around as long as members can recall.

“It’s a safe space,” said Gabriel Gauthier, a junior physics major from Lincoln. “It’s hard to find groups for less common demographics, especially in Nebraska.”

SHUNL doesn’t take an official stance on religion, but rather is comprised of atheists, agnostics, theists and those interested in humanism.

The goal of the group is to promote secular viewpoints and the health and well-being of humanity, Gauthier said.

The group has a laid back structure.

“Meetings are a bit like herding cats,” Gauthier said jokingly. “They are really hangouts. Mov-

joined SHUNL his first year on campus.

“I really wanted to see the other side of the story,” he said.

Drozda said he was interested in philosophical debate and why many people choose to be atheists.

“Joining the group gave me a better understanding of people,” Drozda said.

Along with his expanded understanding of others’ views, Drozda said he believes he also has a better understanding of his own religion.

“After joining, I found my faith strengthened,” he said.

He asked many questions at the beginning of his membership and sometimes found the answers satisfying. But his time in SHUNL taught him more about the nature of people and their belief systems, he said.

“Atheists are just like Catholics,” Drozda said.

“Many do things just the way they have always done them and do not think about what they are doing.”

He said most people have a surface knowledge of religion, whether or not they participate in spirituality. But Drozda holds that there are those – theists and atheists alike – who can really defend what they hold to be true.

“There were a few who had great arguments,” he said.

Although Drozda remains Catholic, he said he has appreciated his time in SHUNL “I go wherever truth is,” he said. “If atheism is true, I’ll be atheist. If Catholicism is true, I’ll be Catholic.”

SHUNL is on Facebook as Secular Humanists of UNL (SHUNL) and is on Twitter @_SHUNL_.

The legend of Pumpkin Spice Latte’s popularity Madeline Christensen

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

As the leaves change, the weather turns colder and students are severely confused about what they should be wearing outside, another side of the fall season is unfolding.

You might have guessed it. Today I witnessed a girl literally snorting pumpkin spice in the stall next to me while in the bathroom.

All I could do was smile to myself and revel in the magic of it all.

And I thought to myself, “If I ever met a pumpkin spice latte personified, what would she be like?”

The answer was simple.

Pumpkin Spice was born on a Wednesday afternoon. Hump day, if you will. The weather was only semi-miserable, and her mother had a cold that wasn’t quite severe enough to warrant a sick day from work, but she still complained about it nonetheless. Needless to say, her friends were tired of her bullshit.

Pumpkin Spice was delivered with absolutely no warning in a pile of crisp leaves. She was swaddled in an infinity scarf, the only thing her mother was wearing besides a pair of yoga pants and a casual Gap sweater.

After labor, Pumpkin’s mother thought about how great it was that you can layer in the fall – she never understood why so many people liked summer, anyway.

Pumpkin Spice grew up like many other girls: overpriced, sometimes with whipped cream and the inspiration of many fall ad campaigns.

She was a bit of an urban legend, only coming out of the house during the fall season. The rest of the time she stayed home in order to increase hype when her time to shine would come again. And at hype, she succeeded.

Her favorite holiday? Halloween, of course.

Nothing got her blood pumping more than little ghost decorations and candy corn color schemes.

She usually was too tired to actually go out on Halloween night, though. Last year she stayed home and made a YouTube video showing off all of her favorite decorations from the year. She kept them up until December.

Pumpkin loved the great outdoors. She had a whole Pinterest board dedicated to picturesque forests and mountains. Her favorite was a picture of a girl standing on top of a mountain looking out at the world. She looked at it every morning before getting up for the day.

“I love trail mix more than life! #gorp,” she tweeted, hoping no one would know she had never gone camping before. She really did like camping, though.

She also liked to start the week with an Instagram selfie. The last one, which she took while gazing out the window of her dorm room, was paired with the caption, “Behind these hazel eyes.”

“Wow,” she thought to herself after that one.

“My friends really just don’t understand me.”

It’s probably because I know real struggle,

Pumpkin thought.

One day, she went to meet her best girlfriend at Starbucks for a quick pick-me-up.

While in Starbucks, she perked up when familiar music came over the speakers. Her mother used to sing the same Norah Jones song to her while in the womb, Pumpkin fondly remembered.

The two found the perfect seat by the window and curled up with their hot beverages.

“What did you get?” Pumpkin asked.

“A… a pumpkin spice latte,” her friend confessed, her black rimmed glasses fogging up from the pumpkin-ish steam wafting from her paper cup.

Wide eyed, Pumpkin dropped her hot chocolate to the floor.

“No,” Pumpkin whispered, suddenly aware of her own being.

Nothing would ever be the same.

JACK FOREY DN As I’ve studied and learned more about the art of filmmaking, my idea of what a movie should be changes with whatever I’m watching at the time.

One conception of cinema I’ve interested myself with lately is that films are sculptures moving through time. They’re sculpted forms of light, making art with time in the way physical sculptures make art with space.

If we go by that definition, Richard Linklater ’s “Boyhood” reaches deeper than almost any other film. The only direct comparison that comes to mind is Paul Almond and Micheal Apted’s “Up” series, begun in 1964 with “7 Up” and continued every seven years, most recently with 2012’s “56 Up.” In those films, a group of British children is followed throughout the years, and we can watch them age before our eyes. Apted used film as a time capsule. In “Boyhood,” Linklater uses this method to produce a piece of

cinema that attempts to transcend the limitations of storytelling by giving us lives rather than characters.

His attempt, it seems almost universally agreed, was very successful. “Boyhood” not only stands for an entire generation of American youth, but for Richard Linklater ’s whole career. Ranging from fringe-y experiments like “Slacker” and “A Scanner Darkly” to more a broad affair that includes “School of Rock” and “Dazed and Confused,” Linklater has shown his audience that he has no shortage of range. “Boyhood” collects all of Linklater ’s familiar tropes and rhythms, as he casts the current generation of youth in a similar light as his own Generation X. Late in the movie, Mason, the titular boy, talks about the dopamine rush one gets when they hear a Facebook notification, and he sounds like one of the college kids from “Slacker.” Speaking as a millennial myself, the film attains a pitch-perfect evocation of my generation’s experience.

It’s a simple pretense; film the actors as they age, make the story up as you go along.

It’s not only the physical growth of the actors that enriches “Boyhood,” but the amount of patience and care taken to create it. We can watch Mason’s life pass before our eyes, as he changes from a curious boy into a disaffected teenager, up until we find him on the edge of a new phase of life at the end of the film. Also interesting are the paths of the rest of the family. Lorelei Linklater ’s older sister character begins as a passionate counterpoint to her mother, then the passion slowly wanes

as she becomes a mundane example of the cultural trappings of her generation. Patricia Arquette’s character begins ambitiously, then resigns to a fair life in the end. Such is life.

This is a movie that expands in your mind after you watch it. Like re-living and re-examining all the moments in your own life, you may find yourself re-thinking scenes of “Boyhood” like you would an intimate moment of your own life. Patterns are formed and meaning is attached, even if there isn’t much intentional meaning in the film. This is at the core of what this film, and growing up, is about: finding meaning. For example, the moment Mason’s grandfather shuffles out of a doorway holding his handed-down shotgun is a moment of subtle wonder to me. He has a shining look in his eyes, his smiling face as he holds a symbol of so many years in his trembling hands. Then there’s also the jaded look in Mason’s eyes as he receives the rifle, his forced half-sincere grin, his general aura as he participates in this somewhat outdated ritual. To me, that’s a strong scene because of its powerful inner life. To other people, they may simply be seeing what they have seen in dozens of movies before, and neither of these perceptions are wrong.

A fair deal of criticism has been aimed at “Boyhood” for its slow pace and seemingly static characters. These criticisms are somewhat irrelevant to “Boyhood” because of what it is, and because of what its critics think a film “should” be. Like some of the greatest films of the 21st century thus far, “Boyhood” is a work of art that aspires to encompass all

of life as we know it. The film may not reach far or deep in terms of dramatic structure or subtext, but that is precisely the point. Every moment in the film represents the present, all of its beautiful and painful uncertainties, and nothing more.

When I see that the characters really aren’t aspiring to much, it’s less of a frustrating film making choice to me than it is a poignant reality. Patricia Arquette essentially gives up, resigning to life in her small apartment. Lorelei Linklater ’s character looks like she’s breezing through college, giving little thought to a career. Mason has his photography, but less drive than others. There’s the temptation to say the characters haven’t learned or gained anything, but that seems a little didactic. In a way, it is comforting that the characters we spend so much time with don’t need much, won’t explode into the global consciousness by some great deed, invent a world-changing technology, or even make a lot of money while they’re alive. They’ll be, for the most part, just like everybody else.

So maybe my idea of what a film “is” or “should be” will change in the next year or two. Then it could change again. There’s a disturbing and remote chance I won’t even like movies in a few years. I don’t know. Right now, all I really have is the present and everything that came before it. I’m still there with Mason in that canyon, slightly stoned, smiling at the work of many years and pensively anticipating what comes next.

3 singles to get ready for October releases Compton into the psychedelic cosmos that is Flying Lotus’ wild mind. The electronic and hip-hop producer dished Kendrick a sugarrushing, pogo-stick juke beat, complete with frenic noodlings from bass wizard Thundercat (no, that’s not a synthesizer).

“Never Catch Me” is the second single of FlyLo’s sixth album, You’re Dead!, Out on October 7th.

“STUDIO (REMIX)” – SCHOOLBOY Q FT. NAS

Consider this a warm up to his upcoming Bourbon Theatre show in October. Nas has hopped on ScHoolboy’s leading single from last spring’s Oxymoron with an effortless throwaway verse that isn’t about much except the wide range of beautiful women he can vacation with. The legend may be on autopilot, but he doesn’t seem to mind. Fresh out of the studio wrapping his latest album, he has plenty of time to dish a humorous line or two, “Pussy stock going up/ I think it’s all of these checks.” ScHoolboy’s verse is fair, but brief. It plays as a proper extension of the original cut, but once it’s over, it’s no more than an afterthought.

“HIGHER” – SBTRKT FEAT. RAURY

“NEVER CATCH ME” – FLYING LOTUS FEAT. KENDRICK LAMAR

If Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive was scored to trap beats instead of Kavinsky, you’d get something like SBTRKT’s “Higher” – just ghoulish and slick enough for a slow, moonlit cruise. It has a healthy bassline and it’s crisp; sparse drums frame warm, undulating synthscapes. The beat is sexy but is laced with an icy chorus that tips the song over the edge into ghoulish territory. Emcee Raury’s monotone rhyming in verses is non-

You may have come across this cut looking for the latest spit fire from Lamar. But even arguably the best wordsmith in the game plays second banana to the producer, Flying Lotus, who rockets the emcee onto rhythms and sounds light years away from

descript, but he soars once the chorus hits with a hook that’s sure to stick till October, when SBTRKT’s new album We Land drops.

Expect this cut to be on plenty of this year ’s Halloween tracklists.

Latest Tennis album makes an impression GABRIELLA MARTINEZ-GARRO DN Tennis has always embraced lush, swoonworthy sounds.

The types of sounds that might accompany a couple during a slow dance or someone’s idyllic afternoon by the lake.

In Tennis’ newest release, “Ritual in Repeat,” the band both works with these sounds and adds something more substantial to them, creating more depth within their music.

The band first appeared on the music scene with the conceptual “Cape Dory” album in 2011. The album was written on a boating trip by two-thirds of the band, the husband/ wife duo, Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore.

“Cape Dory” is filled with the beachy and nautical vibes that surrounded the band as they created it.

Since their debut album, Tennis has worked to prove themselves to be something more. A band with staying power, if you will.

Their 2012 release, “Young & Old” went on without a unifying theme and ditched the retro lo-fi for better production and more pop-like beats. Though subtle, these changes worked to separate the band from their dreamy debut.

“Ritual in Repeat,” however, digs even deeper. With grungier, harder guitar sounds

mixed with synth sounds and additional layers of instruments, the band’s new album leaves an impression.

Songs such as “Bad Girls” opt for a darker sound as Moore’s dreamy voice brings the song to light. The lyrics on the track often appear confessional, versus the dramatized scenario the band presented in their first album.

“You know I love a good ceremony, that’s why I chose matrimony. Oh I never want to feel ashamed, I just can’t bear that kind of pain. There is a need, always divided, from all the things that I’ve been hiding.”

Despite efforts to mature their sound, “Ritual in Repeat” still contains the floaty lilts that Tennis fans have come to know. Tracks like “Timothy” recall the former sound of the band with echoing reverb placed atop Moore’s vocals as sustained surf guitar accompanies her.

The album’s final track, “Meter and Line” is the band’s final statement on their current state. With a slightly distorted guitar sound mixed with a retro-sounding Moore and an unresolved ending, the effect is the best of both worlds.

If the past three Tennis releases are any indication of where the band will head next, it’s clear the band will hold on to their origins while moving on to bigger, better melodies.

How to decorate your dorm-kingdom Almost three weeks have passed since the beginning of classes here at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, so hopefully you have integrated into dorm life by now.

While you’re here on campus, the dorm room is your sanctuary. It’s to you, what the tree is to the squirrel, or the well to Buffalo Bill. But if you still don’t have a dwelling as cozy or unique as you’d like, here’s a guide on how to deck it out with some good furniture, atmosphere and decorations.

Regarding furniture…

Regarding atmosphere...

1. Finding exotic furniture that satisfies any base urges can always brighten your room. Buy a chair or futon with a pattern or drawing that has you sexually aroused just by looking at it. If you cannot find said pattern or image, draw them on the furniture yourself. The extra work will bring you and that sexy piece of wood and cloth closer.

1. A soft stream of music helps bring a sense of tranquility to a room. Hire a personal guitarist or pianist to be ready at all times in your dorm to musically narrate every aspect of your dorm activities. Make sure to ask him to crescendo when you’re almost done with homework or to play as mood music before your RA busts you for having marijuana.

2. Place a throne at the center of the room to bring a sense of nobility and to show the underlings that are your dorm mates that you’re ready to rule your humble kingdom with an iron fist. Make sure to sit upon an uncomfortable throne, however, to earn respect from servants and adjacent rulers.

3. To ensure that other inhabitants of the dorm understand that your items are your items, and your space is your space, urinate adequately on all property and territory. Pheromones play a vital role in establishing healthy boundaries.

2. Paint your room in entirely chrome colors, with maybe some black and grey streaks thrown in there. We saw a painting like that, and it’s totally your style, man.

3. Replace the standard UNL mattress for your bed with a mattress filled with soft and gentle bread dough or dirt. The soft cushion will allow you and your posse of bacteria and absorbed body fluids to slumber soundly.

Regarding decorations…

1. A lava lamp on every corner of the furniture or on every bedpost will show everyone how hip you are, yet also appreciative toward globs of stuff that looks like pudding floating in vodka. Yes, vodka. We know you’ll need a drink, but don’t drink lava lamp juice. At least not while people are watching.

2. Fill every inch of the wall with Bob Marley posters. Change frequently with new/different posters so that the various mugs of Bob Marley can all become awesome decorations in your room.

3. Find one of those abstract, swirly-looking, bubbly-statue things. They look pretentious as hell, but whatever. How else would you spend that last paycheck? We know what you would do with it. We’re not ordering you to buy an egotistical bit of first-grade art passing off as graceful. It’s just a suggestion because, you know, it’s probably about as wise an investment.

How society changed horror fiction Horror fiction, which was once used to explain supernatural events, now aims to scare and shock

miles rothlisberger dn Whether you look inside a book, on the big screen, outside the window, under the bed or at your next door neighbors, the world is constantly reminding us how mysterious and dark it can seem.

It claims that monsters do go bump in the night.

It convinces us that the shadows on the wall did move.

It reads that the book you’re carrying might hold more truth than a textbook.

Some love those reminders and wish to delve into the darkness that is the horror genre.

“Horror fiction,” or a genre with stories meant to disturb or frighten, has always existed to terrify and mystify human culture through religion and folklore, according to the Horror Film History website. However, the term “horror” and its presence as a genre, at least in the United States, originated from the rise of gothic horror and the works of authors such as Bram Stoker or the infamous Edgar Allan Poe. At the start of the 20th century,

someone new entered the horror its way through the rib cages and into scene. H.P. Lovecraft’s material could the hearts of Americans.

Now, horror fiction is everywhere. instill feelings of fear, weirdness, disThere are ghost encounters in gust and especially hopelessness and humiliation. Many consider him to be movies as well as reality television.

Gamers everywhere love to play the father of modern horror. I myself nail-biting video games where faceconsider him to be the master of terror and foreboding – one could assume as less beings stalk and mentally toy with much, considering many of my jokes players.

People have even started to and ideas come from him (which reminds me, Jessica, I need to tell you craft their own eerie stories – called “creepypastas” – on the web. that you’ve angered them).

It sort of makes you wonder, Lovecraft found us in our sad little Euclidean-based world, oblivious to though, how some of us can love a anything at the bottom of our oceans genre that’s steeped in death, sadism, or outside our third dimension, and gore and moonlight.

Of course, some don’t care for the knocked us down a peg with cosmic certain aura that horror gleefully emahorror.

disgust yet fascinate us, as Lewis put it, has changed. We’ve definitely witnessed a sort of commercialization of certain horror subgenres or franchises, which might or might not have lessened the dread induced by our darkest myths.

Yet, according to Lewis, the fear factor of horror stories is subjective.

“What scares people is personal,” Lewis said. “You see people reacting to ‘Paranormal Activity’ or ‘Saw.’”

However, while what may cause us to quiver in our beds can differ, the explanation for terror boils down to the same instinctive abhorrence.

“Sometimes the ‘unknown’ is external, sometimes it’s internal,” Lewis said. “But at the heart of it, horror is the fear of what we don’t know.”

Horror has evolved from mystical tales to tell around fireplaces that kept us alive to tales that we listen to around campfires to satisfy a

fear-binge. Its different approach to storytelling still captivates us and will likely continue to do so throughout the years.

That is, you know, until one of these fictional “horrors” becomes real, and we all face our sins.

Make sure to lock your doors tonight, by the way. I’ve heard rumors about something that lurks on dorm floors, searching for skin to make masks with. arts@ dailynebraskan.com

10 animals that would make great coats 10. Tortoise

9. Giraffe

8. Sloth

7. Squirrel

I like to find a creep of giant tortoises, shadow them for a week to gain insight into their movements and behavior patterns, and then pick off three or four of the weaker ones. If you want more control over the shape and form of your tortoise coat, I recommend acquiring some hatchling shells, although you will need far more than three or four.

This one’s obvious. With such a long neck you’ll have enough fabric left over for all manner of accessories: gloves, scarves, purses and giraffe-skin condoms, just to name a few.

I included this one because I know you all love sloths, and I love to watch you squirm.

Did you know that sometimes sloths forget they’re hanging from branches, let go and fall to their deaths?

I did.

There’s just so many.

Also, squirrel chili is splendid with a nice chianti.

6. Jellyfish For the fetishist in your family, a jellyfish jacket will make a perfect addition to his/her collection of BDSM-oriented lingerie. And if the unintended effect of your gift is to frighten, simply remind them that humankind has fathomed far greater horrors.

They should be grateful you showed restraint; it isn’t in our nature.

5. Panda Let’s be frank. Pandas will be gone soon, regardless of humankind’s intervention.

They’re sluggish, sickly creatures, cursed by natural selection. The merciful action on our part would be to usher them toward extinction, and our obligation as a utilitarian society is to make beautiful winter wear out of their inelegant flesh.

1.You, my pet.

It was always you.

4. Alf Star of a beloved sitcom, nothing would be more pleasing to me than to step into Alf’s skin and walk around in it. It would be an honor to commune with his corporeal form.

3. Gorilla The beauty of the gorilla is that it is such a massive animal. A talented cutter could remove its insides and leave its exterior completely intact, with enough room to fit you and a friend. I volunteer to wield the scalpel.

Didn’t see your favorite animal coat on the list? E-mail us and let us know at arts@ dailynebraskan.com

2. Swordfish They say the best offense is a good defense, and never is that more true than when you’re wearing a coat made of swordfish. Bedazzle your outerwear with their sharp bills, the broadswords of the sea, and you’ll become a force of nature. You’ll fear no man and be a predator to all. Is there a more true definition of God?

DACA residents deserve driver’s licenses

T

he Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy implemented by the Obama administration in 2012 represents the first meaningful step toward immigration reform in several years. While DACA only confers temporary resident status, its provisions allow immigrants living in the country illegally to have some semblance of a normal life. DACA temporary residents pay income taxes, are eligible for in-state college tuition, have access to Social Security and can gain U.S. work permits. In 49 states, they can get driver’s licenses. Nebraska is the only exception.

When DACA was announced two years ago, Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman joined Arizona’s Jan Brewer in opposing the extension of driver’s licenses to temporary residents. Brewer’s executive order was overturned by the U.S. Court of Appeals in July. In keeping with both national precedent and the state’s best interests,

Nebraska voters should pressure Heineman to revoke his executive order as well.

Proportionally, Nebraska’s immigrant population is still quite small compared to some other states. This won’t be true for long, though.

According to the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Center for Public Affairs Research, minorities accounted for 95.4 percent of Nebraska’s total population increase between 2000 and 2010, and the U.S. Census Bureau estimates 6.2 percent of Nebraska’s 2012 population was born in a foreign country. Neither of these numbers alone tells the whole story, but seen together, they make a strong case: Many immigrants to the U.S. are landing in Nebraska. The Pew Hispanic Center estimated there were between 35,000 and 55,000 “undocumented immigrants” in Nebraska in 2012.

From Aug. 2012 to Sept. 2013, there were a total of 2,500 requests for DACA in Nebraska.

All but 200 were approved.

As the Daily Nebraskan reported today, Heineman’s refusal to grant driver’s licenses negatively affects UNL students, graduates and staff. Living, working, attending class and participating in social life in Lincoln is incredibly difficult without a driver’s license. Getting around the city without a car is impractical for much of the year, and many Lincoln buses stop picking up passengers as early as 6 p.m.

Denying driver’s licenses to temporary residents has no perceivable benefits for Nebraska, either. Temporary residents are authorized by the federal government to live and work in Nebraska. They won’t be deported (or alternatively, put on a path to citizenship) for failure to provide a license. Heineman’s refusal won’t change the national conversation about immigration; it will only drain state resources and discourage temporary residents from attending school or working in Nebraska.

Whether the public or the legislature speak

out on the issue of driver’s licenses for temporary residents may not make a difference in the end. Last week, a Nebraska federal judge said she will hear a lawsuit challenging the state’s policy this fall. The Arizona case is a clear legal precedent, and given that every other state reads DACA as authorizing temporary residents to acquire driver’s licenses, it’s unlikely Nebraska’s policy will be upheld.

Still, it’s to some extent up to voters and citizens to end prejudicial practices like Heineman’s discriminatory DACA policy. Legality of entry aside, temporary residents under DACA are just as much a part of American life as any of us, and their contributions to Nebraskan life cannot be understated. Temporary residents deserve the same rights as anyone else, including, but not limited to, the right to apply for a driver’s license. opinion@ dailynebraskan.com

State should better use education funding Mark Batt

N

elson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” . However, educating oneself at a public four-year institution is becoming more and more difficult. College tuition in the past 10 years has risen 51 percent when adjusted for inflation, according to the Postsecondary National Policy Institute. Public two year and private college costs have also risen 35 percent and 25 percent respectively during the last 10 years when adjusted for inflation. At almost $9,000 per year, it’s difficult for some students to pay for school. The difficult concept for me to wrap my head around, however, is that there is aid available through the Unicameral and has increased 0.3% from

the last biennial budget of FY2013-2014. The Unicameral’s FY2014-2015 budget for higher education is $17,353,156. This number divided by the amount of students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln would distribute $694.12 to each student.

Not every student receives aid. According to College Board, approximately 38 percent of students receive some type of aid for higher education. Obviously, not every student is eligible for aid if they’re able to pay for college through other means. If this 38 percent of students at UNL received their share of the $17 million, which should be the first priority of state aid to public education institutions,each student would receive approximately $9,500.

This may not seem like a great deal of aid, but it’s better than $600 and it’s sure better than nothing. The Unicameral can allot only what they have from the general fund and from tax and lottery revenue. Disbursement within the university may be the issue.

The rising cost of education isn’t deterring students from entering college. In fact, enrollment has increased drastically throughout time. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, there are approximately 17.7 million students enrolled in higher education.

This number is projected to increase to 20 million between 2012-2023. In 1990, there were 12

million students enrolled in college. We need to be able to help these students in order to relieve the burden of future student debt and a rise in college tuition.

It’s important to remember college can be affordable. And, if it’s affordable to you, you may be more likely to graduate from that college. If you are more likely to graduate, there’s a higher chance you will find a job after graduation. Lastly, if you find a job after graduation then you will have a better chance of paying for the higher education in which you decided to partake.

If you have the ability to be one of these college graduates with a job and paying off student loans in a timely manner, consider yourself lucky. Even if the legislature were able to allot more aid to public universities in the state, this won’t be able to undermine the rise in student loans and their interest rates.

In fact, a Brookings Institute report said “outstanding student loan balances in the US exceeded $1.2 trillion, more than any other type of household debt with the exception of mortgages.”

Student loans and the rising cost of college may not be repelling students from college, but we should try to increase the conduciveness of higher education for students in the U.S. We should reward those wanting to educate them-

selves and not penalize them with rising student interest rates and an increase in tuition.

Education and increased self-knowledge are the most important aspect of society. This article isn’t a piece to raise taxes to bring in more money for the public education system, but we need to be able to increase the affordability of college. For example, if the state were to take part of the money appropriated for higher education and allow more high schools in the state to take advanced placement courses, more students could graduate in three or four years, saving several thousand dollars.

Students face a plethora of issues, not just rising costs of tuition and fees. From allocating more money to students at universities to increasing the number of available AP courses in high schools, there are many ways in which we can increase the affordability of higher education.

It’s important to make higher education a norm rather than a prize for the lucky few.

Nelson Mandela isn’t the only person who believed education is important. We need to live by his words and of many others and invest in the future of students wishing to seek higher education.

Sexism forces men into stereotypes as well and “avoid talking about their depression with family or friends.” Reportedly, less than 50 percent of men with mental health challenges ever seek help.

Goals, passion imperative to success Devin Grier

S

uccess – we hear this word, and it echoes everywhere in college. What leads to success is literally a milliondollar question. Marketer and analyst Richard St. John researched this question for seven years. He conducted more than 500 interviews, built an organized database on the subject and wrote a book on the subject, “The 8 Traits Successful People Have In Common.”

The traditional definition of success is, of course, money and power. However, it’s wellknown that even someone who has both of these in excess may still be unhappy. This has sparked a movement toward a definition of success that also includes things such as health, wisdom, wonder and giving. This sentiment is echoed in the following eight traits.

The first trait that successful people have in common is passion. In college, we’re bombarded with a barrage of “once-in-a-lifetime opportunities,” but there’s no way we can possibly take part in all of them. It’s important to realize that if an activity or group doesn’t spark the fire or hold your attention, it might not be worth doing. As St. John said, “If you do it for love, the money comes anyway.”

The second trait is obvious – successful people work hard – but it’s surprisingly easy to overlook. Successful people seem to have a knack for making their accomplishments look effortless. In reality, they have relentless motivation, and this kind of motivation only springs from passion. You have to have fun with your work.

The third and fourth traits shared by successful people are good and focus. That is to say, they picked something and got really good at it through (what else?) practice. They also focused all of their time and energy on that one thing. Successful people know what they want and dedicate themselves to it. In college we can be pulled in 15 different directions at once. Most of us have multiple interests, and it’s important to be a well-rounded person, but once you find something that really inspires you, spend your time doing that.

The fifth trait is the ability to push yourself.

This trait is especially important for us, because college is a great time for personal growth. In fact, you’re pretty much forced to grow. And in order to take advantage of all college has to offer you have to push yourself mentally and physically through things such as shyness and selfdoubt. If you make the effort to really put yourself out there, you will expand your comfort zone. The only thing you have to do is show up.

The sixth trait is that successful people serve others. As St. John said, “serving others something of value is the way people really get rich.”

It isn’t necessarily about cleverness or luck; it’s about identifying and taking advantage of an untapped market. There’s a lot of emphasis placed on originality and creativity, but if you aren’t original or creative in an area that needs new ideas, your ideas won’t matter much.

Which leads me to the seventh trait: having ideas. It’s no secret that great ideas can lead to great success. Unfortunately, there’s no magic to being creative. There may be an epiphany moment, but it takes countless hours of study, thought and reflection to get to that goal. St. John said, if you want to be creative you have to listen, observe, be curious, ask questions, problem solve and make connections. The more people you know, the more perspectives you

will be exposed to and the better you can tailor your ideas to meet specific needs.

The eighth, and final trait, is the ability to persist through failure, criticism, rejection, jerks and pressure. Persistence is ultimately the key to success because without it all of the passion and work you put into a project or idea will fall apart. The road to change is never easy precisely because it is change and has to go against an established status quo.

At a time when so many new and different things are being thrown at us at once, it can all seem a bit overwhelming. However, this really boils down to a simple concept. In order to be successful, you have to set a goal you’re passionate about and stick with it. We’ve all heard plenty of mumbo-jumbo about goals,but without them life truly does lack direction.

At times we’re bound to get caught up in the motion and the noise, but once you discover what you care about, you will be moved to action. We all want to reach our full potential, and although there are as many ways to individual success as there are individuals, it’s important to start making goals and think about what it takes to get where you’re going.

Ray Rice case epitomizes NFL failures Oliver Tonkin

T

he National Football League and its commissioner Roger Goodell failed to adequately and convincingly address the repugnant domestic violence committed by ex-Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice. The NFL serves as a de facto agent of change in society. Goodell’s reactionary measures and failure of leadership to reflect this role necessitate his removal as commissioner.

Several months ago a video was released that showed Rice dragging his unconscious thenfiancée, Janay Palmer, from a hotel elevator. It’s abundantly clear that something terrible had happened. Goodell met with Ray and Janay Rice together – a huge mistake. As a matter of protocol, the victim and alleged abuser should always be separated when interviewed. That, along with the due process and criminal investigation and plea bargain afforded to Rice, was enough to warrant immediate and permanent termination of association between Rice and the NFL; however, Goodell banned him for only two games.

On Monday, TMZ.com released a video that clearly shows former Rice violently and criminally striking his then-fiancée, Janay Palmer, uncon-

scious. Rice’s team immediately cut him from the team, and Goodell banned Rice from the league indefinitely. Goodell said he never saw this video.

ESPN, however,said the video was sent to NFL executives. Even if this wasn’t a cover up, claiming ignorance of the second video isn’t acceptable.

What exactly did you think happened in the first video? Their initial weak response demonstrates the insincerity the league has toward domestic abuse.

Sports fan or not, it’s impossible to ignore the NFL’s impact on our culture. While it is reprehensible that its biggest news story is a domestic abuse crime, the widespread dialogue about this issue may serve as a silver lining. It shouldn’t take a high profile case to highlight the importance of domestic abuse. Nor should it take enormous public pressure to evoke a more appropriate response to such an act. Football shouldn’t be the vehicle that brings about social change. But if it must be, then the reactionary Roger Goodell must resign.

We need someone who acts proactively and who won’t tolerate inaction. Gay rights, bullying and racism are among the recent issues football has encountered. The burden falls on Goodell and his successor to align sport with society’s evolving standard of decency.

Those who disagree and say the NFL is no place for social change, consider this. If you don’t want the NFL, or other culturally significant entities, to be obligated with promoting change on salient social issues, then you should pay more attention to the reality of our country. Sports can be a source of change. But only that, for we’re too complacent a society to intervene without a great unifying rallying call. A poster child (or adult) is easier to get behind than large statistics.

Janay Rice might not be the person who unites us all in opposition of domestic violence. She owes us no explanation for staying with her husband.

She wrote a letter to the Atlantic County prosecutors on his behalf, which helped secure a deal that allowed him to enter a diversionary program that may clear his record. Those who criticize her and assert she should leave him shift part of the blame from the actual perpetrator to the victim. Many women who have been abused by their partners don’t leave. Any number of factors contribute to this. Financial or emotional dependency, pressure from family and friends and religious oaths often compel individuals to stay with their abuser partners. We cannot know for certain her motives, but we must focus on the two most important things: The pervasiveness of domestic violence in our society, and support for the victims.

Ray Rice deserves to be in jail for his actions.

Any semblance of impunity, by the police or the NFL, sends the wrong signal and risks neglecting victims and absolving society’s role in perpetuating domestic violence. We must be careful not to marshal all of our attention and resources at the abusers. Retribution encourages re-offense. Restoration offers rehabilitation. To echo my previous article, the burden must not only fall upon those who have committed the heinous crimes, but on society for not acting uniformly to curtail the underlying causes that breed such acts. Ray Rice, for as despicable of a scumbag as he is, is not beyond saving.

In 2007, NFL quarterback Michael Vick pleaded guilty to federal felony charges related to gambling on dog fighting. He served nearly two years in federal prison, and the NFL banned him. His direct role in dog fighting, which included animal

abuse and pit bull deaths, was criminal and disgusting. Vick’s actions were difficult to forgive.

Like most people, I support humane treatment to dogs, but my animal rights advocacy made Vick especially villainous to me. Not only did I want him to pay for his crime, I wanted him to be ruined forever.

Yet he served his time and appears rehabilitated and currently plays for the New York Jets. Now he’s active in lobbying for harsher crimes against those who organize dog fights. I cannot help but be convinced that he has truly changed for the better. I have forgiven Vick. We owe it to the abusers, victims and society alike to teach people about domestic violence. Rice and Goodell must be held accountable so they have an opportunity to make amends.

Don’t wait for another Ray Rice incident before you do something. Demand Roger Goodell’s resignation. Get involved with student groups at UNL. Student-led group Men At Nebraska discusses the role of men in society and how to channel healthy masculinity – meetings are every Wednesday at 1 p.m. at the UNL Women’s Center. They will host a Men At Nebraska week from Nov. 10-14. PREVENT educates students on relationship violence and intervention. They meet Thursdays at 4 p.m., also in the Women’s Center. The UNL Women’s Center hosts its Week Without Violence Oct. 13-17 where anyone can attend events and seminars. We must do our part to end domestic violence.
