LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear reader, My best friend and I took bites of Yia Yia’s pizza in between stories of changed perspectives and new friends and hard lessons. This year all of our stories began with “This time in Singapore…” or “My camp friend and I…” She had spent her summer living in southeast Asia, eating durian and gaining passport stamps. I’d spent mine seldom sleeping in my own bed, beginning by washing dishes in a summer camp kitchen and ending by hiking in Alaska with my mom. I talked her ear off about how I felt this past season of mountains and middle schoolers had changed me more than any other. How I couldn’t believe we’re halfway done with college. How we are so different than the 19-year-olds who lived in Sandoz 303 together two years ago. She stopped me and pointed behind us at Andersen Hall, outside of which we were picnicking on our first weekend back in Lincoln. It was the building in which I made my decision to attend UNL three years ago. It was the place where she and I went to our first college classes as journalism students. With the brown building with blue windows behind us, we realized that despite having enriching experiences elsewhere, our school has been the backdrop to the greatest amount of growth we’ve ever experi-
enced. Sandoz Hall taught me about living independently: to set three alarms for an 8 a.m. and that iced-no-nut brownies from the dining hall can make any bad day a good one. My sorority house has taught me what it means to truly invest in others. The basement of the Union where we produce this newspaper has taught me the value of storytelling and hard work. Memorial Stadium has taught me that I really, really like college football. To new students: When you chose this school, you chose structures that will structure you over the next four years. To returning students: don’t take them and the people that call them home for granted. Wherever you ran around this summer– whether it was gearing up to move into your freshman dorm, interning at your dream job or studying abroad – remember that in this game of tag called life, this place is base.
Welcome home,

Social media highlights UNL parking woes
Aidan Connolly DN STAFF WRITER
With the university’s goal to have 30,000 students enrolled becoming closer every year, UNL Parking and Transit Services is working to meet the increasing needs of students, staff, faculty and visitors. For the past couple of years, many students have had issues finding parking on campus. Sarah Clark, a junior studio art and advertising and public relations double major, commuted to UNL for class last year. But Clark, who had parked in the Stadium Drive garage with a stadium drive commuter permit, had issues finding a place to park on football Saturdays when the garage was closed for football patron parking. “One night, I ended up staying on campus overnight because I was too tired to
drive home and the next morning they towed my car,” Clark said. “I think it’s ridiculous I’m not allowed to park in my garage on game days because I feel like if I’m paying several hundred dollars for a parking garage, I feel like I should be able to park there when I need to.” Clark said she usually is able to find a parking spot on weekdays, but only because she gets to campus earlier than other people. Even then, she said it’s not the best situation. “I don’t think any of the commuter lots are in a convenient location,” Clark said. “It says something that people are always trying to not buy a permit by parking in neighborhoods and taking the bus to campus.” Other students at UNL have similar complaints, and some have used social media to speak their mind. One common complaint is

Debate over campus conceal & carry continues
michael johnson | dn Sarah Wontorcik dn staff writer
Last year a bill in the Nebraska Legislature sparked debate about whether to allow concealed carry in previously gun-free zones, such as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Pointing to mass shootings at home and across the country, proponents said it was a necessary step to ensuring safer communities. Others said it would welcome more violence and inhibit free speech. That bill didn’t advance last year, but the legislator behind it, Tommy Garrett of Bellevue, said he’ll be reintroducing it, a signal that the conversation isn’t over. For Garrett, the seed for this bill started more than nine years ago. It was one of the most deadly shootings Nebraska has ever seen when, on Dec. 5, 2007, 19-year-old Robert Hawkins opened fire at a Von Maur department store in Omaha, killing eight people before himself. Since then, tragedies like this have dotted the national conversation about gun control. Nebraska Sen. Tommy Garrett was part of the Von Maur shooting investigation at the time. Garrett believes fewer strict laws about carrying a concealed weapon would allow individuals the opportunity to defend themselves if need be.
“To watch the video surveillance tapes of that tragic incident is chilling,” Garrett said. “If there had been but one armed citizen that would have engaged that gunman, there is no doubt that lives would have been saved.” Garrett hopes his bill will give citizens the chance to protect themselves in dangerous situations. “I’ve seen too many innocent people who have lost their lives to violent individuals,” Garrett said. “The old adage ‘when seconds matter the police are minutes away’ is very apropos. There are three things you can do in an active shooter scenario: run, hide or engage. The most effective of these responses, i.e. the one that will minimize the loss of life, is to engage.” The Faculty Senate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln made the decision last year to oppose any legislation that would grant carrying a concealed weapon on campus. “I think most faculty would say that a university campus is not a place where firearms should be present,” UNL Faculty Senate President John Bender said. “The purpose of a university is to stimulate thought and discussion.” While the debate has taken hold in Nebraska, other states have already hashed out the issue with some finding the results negligible in comparison to the heated debates around the topic. Kansas and Colorado are among the few
states that have passed state laws allowing concealed carry on campuses. Prior to 2012, the University of Colorado at Boulder did not allow concealed carry. Chief Spokesperson for Strategic Media Relations at UCB Ryan Huff said the campus has not seen any large impacts from the policy change. After four years, Huff said the university has not had any incidents with people brandishing or shooting weapons. “I don’t think many people would notice the difference between what it was like on campus before then, versus today,” Huff said. Kansas passed the Personal and Family Protection Act in 2013, allowing concealed carry unless adequate security measures were provided. That means people are allowed to carry concealed weapons to defend themselves unless there is enough security to eliminate the threat. Kansas state law allowed universities and certain other institutions to file for a temporary exemption from the act. The six Kansas universities governed by the Kansas Board of Regents were granted a four-year exemption, which was the longest exemption state law granted. The purpose of this exemption was to give the universities and the Kansas Board of Regents time to prepare for the changes in policy and potentially provide the adequate security measures for certain buildings. Each university will provide the Kansas
Board of Regents with a recommendation of any buildings that they believe should have adequate security to avoid allowing guns. Director of Communications for the Kansas Board of Regents Breeze Richardson used the example of the Allen Fieldhouse, where Kansas University plays basketball. He said their recommendation may include adding guards with wands and metal detectors, as well as changing where people enter and exit the gym to accommodate the addition of security at the front. But other changes may be recommended instead. “They might decide they want to put that security in instead of letting guns in,” Richardson said. Bender said despite the circumstances, guns on college campuses are not a solution. He said firearms invite unwelcome feelings and serve as more of an obstacle to free thought than a reminder of safety. “The mere possibility that others may be carrying firearms seems likely to diminish the willingness of the rest of us to speak freely, to vigorously argue for our points of view,” Bender said. “Firearms don’t enhance speech; they silence it.”

After Sanders exit, next step unclear
file photo by tyler meyer | dn Elizabeth Rembert dn staff writer
Last semester, some at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln were awash in support for United States Sen. Bernie Sanders. When he came to the Lied Center for Performing Arts March 3, the short-notice appearance drew a crowd of more than 3,000 who stood for hours for a chance to see him. Later, the then democratic presidential candidate received unanimous support at the Nebraska Democratic Caucus at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Sanders supporters crowded the room, leaving only a small corner for the 11 Clinton supporters. After it became clear Clinton would not gain viability, her supporters left the caucus. The caucus recorded 195 votes for Sanders and zero for Clinton. But as students arrive back on campus, the presidential race has moved in a different direction. In July, Hillary Clinton accepted the
party’s nomination, and Sanders has asked his supporters to turn their attention and give their votes to the former secretary of state. After the fervor of Sanders’ “political revolution,” a section of students are picking up the pieces to determine where their allegiances lie. Aaron Ratigan, a senior UNL mechanical engineering major, started supporting Sanders in the back room of Yia-Yia’s Pizza, where he hosted a meetup at the beginning of the senator’s run. Ratigan then helped organize and lead many Sanders events. He founded the registered student organization Huskers for Social Democracy and participated as a pledged Sanders delegate to his county, state and national Democratic Party conventions. Ratigan said he saw the potential for “fundamental change” in the way Sanders addressed the interests of working people, recognized the necessity of voter engagement and rejected the mantra that large contributions from wealthy donors are what make a candidate viable. Ratigan said once it became clear Clinton
would be the nominee, he started to look beyond the presidential election. He said the movement can and must continue to engage disenfranchised voters, even outside of the presidential election. “The stakes are too high and the moment too fleeting to despair,” Ratigan said. “We have work to do.” But Isaiah Miller, a sophomore political science major, said it’s impossible to answer the Democratic Party’s call for unity. “She can’t win our trust,” Miller said. “It will not happen … Do I think she will ruin the country? No. But do I think she is good for it? Absolutely not.” Josh Waltjer, a May 2016 political science graduate, supported, volunteered for and contributed to Sanders throughout the campaign and was elected by caucus-goers at UNL to be a Sanders delegate at the Lancaster County Democratic Convention. Waltjer said he supported Sanders because the senator shined a spotlight on how money is at the root of “every single problem our country faces.”
That’s where he sees Clinton having a lot to accomplish to pull in voters like himself. Waltjer calls for her to listen to concerns about corporate influence, fracking, climate change and foreign military intervention. “I realize that Hillary has to be moderate to attract independent voters, but you need to win over a very passionate, very emboldened and very defiant Bernie voter base first,” Waltjer said. Ratigan doesn’t believe Clinton needs to win over the reluctant Sanders supporters. “We don’t have to trust her because we can test her,” Ratigan said. “We can test her ability to listen and respond to the needs of working people by continuing to raise the issues at the center of our movement. If she responds, we’ll know she’s willing to work with our movement, and I think that will be enough to convince many that they can work with her as well.” For some Sanders supporters, no amount of convincing will ever be enough. “Bernie
SANDERS: PAGE 6
6 • MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 2016 SANDERS: FROM PAGE 5 or Bust” is the fervent refrain of his core supporters, who stand behind him without compromise. Ratigan said the movement saw its work against the political establishment as a signal of the ineffective, unfair and unrepresentative election process. The movement has seen countless times how the outcomes of such elections hurt the country, “and the result is a statement of complete rejection of the rigged political process,” Ratigan said. Ratigan said “Bernie or Bust” could be more than just an obstacle for Hillary to overcome before November. He thinks it could have an influence in the political atmosphere for years to come. “Recognizing that fundamental social change in the U.S. has rarely been achieved without large popular movements protesting an unjust status quo,” he said. “I think these protests are important and should continue if we want to see substantive change in our democratic process.” Claire Shea, a junior psychology and political science double major, agrees that the movement has caused people to think more about the political system and “the ways it potentially disadvantages or disenfranchises certain people.”
PARKING: FROM PAGE 3 about not finding a parking spot near campus when needed. Students are even making their own videos about parking, complete with “bleeped” profanity. While complaints about parking go back more than 40 years to when students started bringing cars to campus in greater numbers, social media gives complaints extra visibility that hasn’t existed before. And frustration can often lead to confusion or the wrong idea about how parking on campus works. Dan Carpenter, director of the UNL Parking and Transit Services department, said they recognize the importance of parking for students, faculty and staff. “I think it is best to understand that people’s perception of parking is based on their prior behavior or experiences traveling to public destinations… and that a university campus is a much different environment than their past experiences,” Carpenter said. Carpenter said he believes there is enough parking, but students need to use everything available. Surplus parking spaces are located in the 14th and Avery Garage and 17th and R Street Garage, perimeter lots and the 21st and Vine Street lot. On East Campus, surplus parking exists at 33rd and Holdrege, along the East Campus Loop Road, the surface lot north of the College of Dentistry, and the surface lot at 43rd and Holdrege east of Barkley Memorial Center.

Shea was a Clinton supporter at the UNL caucus. She has worked as a winter fellow and volunteered for the Clinton campaign. She believes Clinton’s past experiences and the values she represents and supports make her an “incredibly strong candidate.” Shea believes it is necessary for Sanders supporters to realign their votes but “potentially, not in the way most people would think.” Shea said voters shouldn’t revert to the concept of voting for the “lesser of two evils” but rather learn and vote for Clinton because they’ve found reasons to genuinely support her. “She is also a candidate worthy of their support, as opposed to simply a necessary effort to stop Trump,” Shea said. Miller and Ratigan said they didn’t know how they would vote in November. Both recognized the possibility of a Trump presidency. “A Trump presidency is the worst possible outcome of this election,” Ratigan said, but for now, they are torn. Even without Sanders’ name on the ballot, Waltjer said he was proud of what the senator and campaign catalyzed. “If you asked Bernie Sanders honestly in May 2015, ‘Do you think you’ll raise tens of millions of dollars, set a record for the number of individual contributions, rally the overwhelming support of youth voters, scare
the bejesus out of the Democratic establishment and win over 22 states?,’ Bernie would have chuckled,” Waltjer said. But Sanders accomplished just that. “I’m so proud of the victories the progressive movement scored because one man had the courage to stand up against the formidable American political machine and say, ‘Something is wrong here.’” Waltjer said. Although his candidacy has ended, Sanders’ supporters are looking forward. Ratigan and Waltjer said the senator inspired more than a campaign; it’s become a movement that can live on through the political engagement of its members. The two encouraged Sanders supporters to continue “feeling the Bern” through voting and working for progressive candidates, becoming a part of local politics, taking a stance on local causes and using individual talents to work toward solving widespread issues. “If this is the end, then we’ve failed,” Ratigan said. “We must continue to talk to be engaged in the political process and to engage our family, friends and neighbors.”
“At peak hours of demand, certain lots may be nearly full,” Carpenter said. “We urge people to check out the lots we have identified with extra available spaces. These areas may meet your needs and provide reliable parking options.” Justin Lytle, a junior actuarial science major, lived in Neihardt Residence Center last year and parked his car near the Devaney Center with a perimeter permit. “I don’t use my car too often, so it’s a lot more affordable,” Lytle said. “It’s about a 12-minute walk, but it’s worth it whenever I need to drive.” Lytle said he has never had an issue finding a parking spot and that a lot of other people could solve their parking woes if they were willing to walk “People want to be as close to their housing or classes as they can,” Lytle said. “When I’m riding with someone else, they’re always trying to find a spot close to where they’re trying to go.” If those who park in the Perimeter lots don’t want to walk, they can use the bus system during standard hours. The StarTran Route 22 provides bus service to the perimeter parking lots located south of the Devaney Sports Center and the 14th and Court Street lot with buses from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the weekdays during the fall and spring semesters. Another complaint students have is regarding the cost of permits and how that money is used. Since 2005-2006, the cost of student park-
ing permits has increased seven times. Carpenter said each of the increases corresponds with a funding plan for the construction of a parking structure or transit expenses. Lytle said he thinks the prices are reasonable. “I think a lot of people say the price is too much, but they’re also the same people that are unwilling to change where they are going to park,” Lytle said. “You pay for how little you want to walk.” Parking permits made up 68 percent of revenue for UNLPTS in 2015, and parking tickets accounted for 3 percent of revenue. Carpenter said UNLPTS determines parking fees based on the department expenses, including operating and maintenance, personnel, busing and debt service. UNLPTS spent more than $5 million paying bonds in 2015, almost 48 percent of its total expenses. Another $2.28 million went to StarTran for bus service between campuses. The bonds helped pay for a number of parking lots and enclosures that have sprung up over the years. Carpenter said the current debt remaining from the construction is approximately $34.6 million plus the required annual coverage for the bonds. If students or faculty don’t want to deal with the hassle of parking, another option is the StarTran bus system. UNL students receive a bus pass with their student fees, and it can be used for any StarTran route. Routes 24 and 25 run between East Campus and City Campus until 9 p.m. and UNLPTS operates an on call van service until 11:30 p.m., but Carpenter said there
NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM
is no consensus to fund additional weekend bus service. Even with the university’s goal to increase student enrollment to 30,000, Carpenter said UNLPTS is prepared. “In 2012, we conducted a parking study that determined that the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has the parking infrastructure to accommodate the institutional mission to increase enrollment with some recommended changes in space management,” Carpenter said. “In addition, the Parking and Transit Services Department is working closely with the Campus Planning and Facilities Planning and Construction Departments to determine our capabilities to develop and manage campus parking as new campus facilities are constructed on parking lots.” NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Q&A with UNO student-run band

SC: I have a keyboard in my dorm room, and I kind of have to keep it quiet, but it’s how I practice and write during the week. I always try to find time, even if I’m super busy. I usually try to play at least once a day. We also have a little studio at our house, which is where practice is. We usually try to practice at least once a week with our band. Every member – it’s a top priority in their lives – and we’ve all kind of agreed on that. It usually comes first behind school, so we try to keep it a priority.

Clark & Company is a family band but a unique one. Made up of triplets Sophie, Cooper and Simon Clark, plus friends Cameron Thelander and Sam Kalhorn, the band plays a unique mix of indie, jazz and blues music. The members are also full-time students at the University of Nebraska at Omaha who have to balance school with practicing and performing, all while living in the dorms. As the band has an Omaha Arts and Entertainment Award-nominated songwriter, Sophie Clark, it plays songs that are well composed and full of passion. The Daily Nebraskan talked with vocalist and keyboardist Sophie Clark ahead of the band’s first Lincoln show Aug. 25 at the Vega.
DN: Do you all commute to practice from college, then? SC: We all live in the dorms, so yes. DN: How would you describe your music to someone who has not heard of you before?
The Daily Nebraskan: Talk about being in a band with your brothers. You’re triplets?
SC: We call it indie R&B, and I like to kind of describe it as singer/songwriter with jazz and blues influences.
Sophie Clark: It’s really fun because we all work really well together, and we’ve always been really close just as siblings. We’re not afraid to tell each other what we really think, and we’re not afraid to have different opinions. We’ve been in bands together since we were 14, and we’re now 19, so we’ve kind of learned to work through some of that stuff and really focus on the bond and the connection. So I think that’s really helped.
DN: What inspires your songwriting? SC: With our second album and our EP, “Roots,” and our upcoming third album that we’re coming out with this year, I’ve tried to kind of study older styles of music. So, if I wanted to write more of, like, a blues song, I’d go get older blues standards and all that stuff. If I wanted to write a jazz song, I’d listen to older jazz songs and kind of try

Maha Music Festival offers something for all Margaret Davenport DN STAFF WRITER
Grimes took the crowd by storm. She grabbed on to the energy of the crowd that was made up of anticipation and ran with it. As soon as the lights dimmed on the stage, she sent out one of her dancers to capture the attention, and as soon as the dancer appeared to do her short-lived dance, she was gone. It left everyone wanting more, and the stage exploded in a series of flashing lights and Grimes appearing. Claire Boucher, who is better known by her stage name as Grimes was just one of the few bands that played at Maha Music Festival on August 20. She, as well as Passion Pit, were the largest names at the festival and easily the most anticipated performances. Arriving to the festival you were welcomed immediately with the food alley, consisting of numerous local food vendors such as Voodoo Taco and Mangia Italiana. The smells of food alley kept you lingering looking at your many options of what you’d like to eat, and soon. The majority of the alcohol was provided by Boulevard Brewing
Company from Kansas City, which brought in a wide selection of beers to enjoy. If beer didn’t suit your fancy, a selection of mixed drinks were also available. Directly after food alley you were drawn to take a ride on the free ferris wheel, or take a photo booth picture with a large cardboard head of Warren Buffett. Booths surrounded the ferris wheel from various local businesses selling goods such as clothing and water bottles. A free water refilling station was set up by AmeriPride, a local linen and uniform service company. The main stage, where Grimes and Passion Pit performed, was sponsored by Weitz Investment Management, an investing company from Omaha. The second stage, where some of the smaller bands performed, was sponsored by Javlin Capital, an Omaha financing company. The two stages were positioned in front of a large grassy field which was roughly the size of two football fields. Festival-goers were to lay in the grass and rest while they waited for the next band to take the stage. However, there was one issue. Mud was everywhere. People sat in it, laid in it and

by the end of the night, an inch of mud was added to everyone’s footwear. But the grossness didn’t deter festival-goers from enjoying the day. The mud was simply nature’s body paint and provided an extra bit of fun for the day. People put it on their faces and arms and hands and turned it into something euphoric. Many of the bands in question were local to the region such as See Through Dresses and Josh Hoyer and the Soul Colossal. They all took the stage with intense gusto that you couldn’t help but admire. Music was more than a hobby to them, it was a lifestyle. You could almost see all the hard work and countless hours practicing that was put into each set. The lineup of performers had something for everyone whether it was soul, hard rock, folk, pop, or hip-hop. Grimes’ set was cut as bit short due to the festival being off of schedule, leaving everyone needing more. What that “more” was exactly, was different for each festival-goer. More dancing, more balloons, more energy, more happiness - everyone needed something. And Passion Pit filled that need for something more. Michael Angelakos, the lead
singer of Passion Pit, smiled to the crowd all while dancing like a madman. The band threw balloons that had bounced on stage to the crowd and after every song thanked their fans. The band wasn’t flashy with backup dancers and fog machines like Grimes was, but kept the energy so high and positive that when it ended everything turned bittersweet. Obviously, more music was wanted but could not have been had due to the festival ending at midnight. Maha Music Festival had something for everyone no matter the category. Vegetarian options were available along food alley, areas for lawn chairs were available for those who didn’t wish to dance in the mud and tons of glow sticks were being passed around at all times. Although Grimes and Passion Pit stole the show, every band was phenomenal and reminded me why I chose to visit Maha. To escape the stresses of life for a day of fun, happiness, good food and music.

to capture the style, and when I sit down to write, I kind of put a modern twist on that. So that’s kind of how I write. DN: Who would you say are some of the bigger influences on some of those songs? SC: It’s really more of the instrumental stuff because the lyrics are kind of personal stuff. We have a song called “New Orleans,” for example, and when I wrote it, I kind of listened to New Orleans street bands. And that’s how I got the sound for that song. Some of the blues/jazz songs – artists like Nina Simone, Louis Armstrong, some of those people are some influences. DN: What’s your favorite song in your catalog to play live? SC: That’s a tough one. It’s like picking one of my children. Off the new album, probably a song called “Maybe Love” because it’s kind of like a different style that we wanted to be on the album that I was kind of excited about. That one’s kind of a little more heartfelt than some of our other songs, but it’s also really upbeat. That’s what I really like about it. DN: Describe your mindset on stage. What’s going through your head when you play the first note of the first song? SC: Usually, it’s kind of like, “Don’t mess up.” That’s kind of what it is the whole time. But, usually, I can get to a point where I’m really enjoying it, and it all kind of depends on the dynamic of the room. When there’s more people I know in the audience, I tend to be more comfortable and more outgoing as opposed to not knowing anybody. I honestly really like playing in smaller venues because of the intimate feeling of playing for a small group of people. That’s kind of what I like, but I also like playing for large audiences too because there’s a certain dynamic with that that’s appealing as well. It all kind of depends on the room, but if I can get to that point and really enjoy performing and really enjoy putting my songs out there for an audience, it’s really fun for me. DN: To kind of piggyback off that: What’s your favorite venue in Nebraska to play in, and why? SC: We haven’t really been out of Omaha that much. We just actually finished our tour, and we played in North Platte and Kearney. Those are two places we haven’t played in Nebraska (until the tour). I honestly would say the Liv Lounge in Aksarben. We play on the patio in the summer, and I like it because it’s kind of on campus, so a lot of my friends can come to that. It’s kind of a sentimental place for me because that’s one of the first
places we played as Clark & Company. It’s kind of special. And it’s outside, which is nice. I like being outside. I’d probably say that – when it’s not hot out. DN: Clark & Company was recently nominated for two Omaha Arts and Entertainment Awards. How does it feel to be nominated for those local awards? SC: It’s awesome. I mean, we love being a part of the Omaha music scene and playing the showcases. Sometimes, they have, like, 40-plus bands playing the showcases, and it’s just really fun to see how much talent there is in Omaha. To be a part of it and to be supported by local musicians – we just love that, and we love meeting new bands and gaining new inspirations. That’s what we love about the Omaha Arts and Entertainment Awards – it’s just connections and it’s just fun. DN: You mentioned earlier that you just recorded another album. What was the process for that after already having a couple of releases under your belt? SC: This album we did with a new producer, Tom Ware at Warehouse Studios, because we just kind of wanted to try something new and see what we could get from that experience. It’s been really great. We actually were all four able to record together, which we’ve never done before. That was really fun. Then I got to record on a grand piano, which was really cool. Basically, the four of us just kind of recorded everything, and we’re kind of layering on different parts, different horn sounds and all of the things of that nature. That’s where we’re kind of at right now. But it’s been really fun, and Tom’s been really great, and we love going to the studio. DN: When can we expect the new release to be out? SC: We haven’t picked a date yet; I’m thinking that it’s going to be more in the very beginning of the new year. So probably, like, January is when I would say the release would be. DN: Does the band have any tour plans for the rest of the year and beyond? SC: We don’t right now because we just finished our last one. But we’re always open to anything. We love going on the road. We haven’t done it a lot, but we’re super excited to start doing it more and more, and we’re super excited to go to Lincoln because we’ve never played in Lincoln. We’ve heard great things, and there’s a great music scene there, and we’re super excited to check it out. ARTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

HORN: Embrace fear as a self-motivator
Alexa Horn senior opinion editor
Scaredy-cats and nervous-nellies might be onto something. While some of us are running away from our fears, others are putting them to good use. It may not be popular, but using fear as a call to action
for yourself is only practical. When there’s a problem that’s not getting fixed, fear can give you the kick in the butt you need to change your situation. When we think of using fear as a motivational tool, we tend to picture the manipulative ways people use it. Politicians can use fear to get elected and get bills passed. Opinion columnists can use it to convince you that something’s not right in the world. What does Batman use to keep Gotham in check? Fear. Using fear to control others is morally questionable, but there’s nothing wrong with using it for yourself. Everyone gets scared, but not everyone knows what to do with the feeling. The fact is, humans have been using it from the beginning of their existence. It’s in our nature to fear dangerous things. What kept early humans safe from predators wasn’t effective anti-tiger missiles. Our ancestors
had fear to thank for that. It’s safe to say desire to not get eaten saved more early humans than spears. As students, it’s easy to let our tigers sneak up on us. We see the red 50 percent penned on the top of our test and we rationalize our fears away. We can get in the mentality that it will all work out in the end. Magically, everything will fall into place. We’ll get the grades and the internship, land the job and get the dream life. Chancing on the perfect results can sometimes happen, but why leave it to a dice roll? Most people need to work for that test score, and getting comfortable doesn’t get you there. Rather than simply feeling scared about your grade, and then comforting yourself, you can acknowledge why you’re nervous. Make a conscious effort to analyze the root of your fear, so you can come up with a solution to the issue.
Instead of lulling yourself into a false sense of security, you’ll be giving yourself a compelling reason to change your situation. When you think about the possibility of not finding a job after college, you realize just how fast you can get the words flowing on a cover letter. Be wary though: Fear can be dangerous too. The problem with using it as a tool is that it can start to use you instead. Like any power saw, it can be wielded by someone who knows what they’re doing. Or it can chop a hand off. This doesn’t mean you need to, well, fear fear. But, like the intrepid sawwielder, you need to make yourself familiar with the instructions before using it. Number one on the Fear Manual would be this: Don’t let fear consume you, especially when the source is something that’s not

SERVER: “Nebraska Nice” slogan rings true
Matt Server assistant opinion editor
Football and corn. When I decided to attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, that’s what everyone told me I could expect. While they were certainly right about that, especially the football, this shallow representation of the state of Nebraska leaves out the aspect that has impressed me most: the people. Never have I been somewhere that embodies “nice” more than Nebraska. This summer, I had the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C., and take classes at the American Enterprise Institute. I had
plenty of time to explore the city and get a flavor of the lifestyle there, and it was a bit of shock to me that people were less than welcoming. I rarely got a smile or greeting from fellow workers. I heard a constant barrage of yells and honks from the streets and found that, generally, people kept to themselves. I was confused as to why this bothered me. After all, I grew up in Colorado, where people are hardly the most friendly. Then, on the last day of my trip, as I sat in the airport waiting for my plane, it hit me. I saw a group of veterans in wheelchairs come in and wait at the adjacent gate for their plane home. I observed them for a while, trying to determine if they were part of the same group I had seen earlier that day at Arlington National Cemetery. Then, I saw a group of people walk up to each of the veterans, shake their hands and thank them for their service. I was shocked, as nobody else had even acknowledged the veterans the whole time they were there. Then I noticed the big “N” on many of their shirts and realized they were Nebraskans heading to Omaha. It struck me that they were the only ones who bothered to thank
a few members of a group to which western civilization owes its existence. There is simply a way of doing things in Nebraska that I haven’t seen anywhere else. In Nebraska, I find more people hold the doors, there’s better customer service at stores and, in general, there’s a friendlier vibe. A 2012 Gallup survey found that Nebraska is among the happiest states in the nation. Another study ranked Nebraska 7th in overall well-being . Though I suspect the data was skewed depending on whether the Huskers won their football game before the survey was conducted, if you’re happy, you’re more likely to be nice, and if you’re nice, you’re more likely to be happy. Of course, this isn’t to say everyone in Nebraska is Mr. Rogers. As with any place, there are jerks scattered throughout. The important thing is that Nebraskans, in general, make their state somewhere where anyone, even visitors, can feel at home. This may not seem like a big deal to someone who has lived in Nebraska his or her whole life, but as an out-of-state student, living in a city that feels more like a small town than a large urban area has been a ma-
jor plus. As a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed freshman going to a large, out-of-state school where I didn’t know anyone, I was more than a little nervous. There is always the thought in the back of your mind that you’re going to get lost in the crowd. But quite the opposite has occurred. After two years of Nebraska Nice, I feel like I have gained a second home. Becoming a Nebraskan is a right of passage that gives you a network that’ll stay with you practically wherever you go. I’ve gotten “Go Big Reds” while wearing Husker gear in several different states, some as far away as Maryland. Just the other day, as I waited for a train in Colorado wearing a Nebraska hat, an elderly man approached me and asked if I was a Husker. By his tone, you’d think he was asking me if I was a celebrity. After I answered, “Yes, I am” with equal pride, we launched into a ten-minute conversation about the Huskers’ chances in the Big Ten this year. Even my brother, a recent graduate of the University of Wyoming who will sometimes wear the Husker shirt I got him for Christmas, gets asked if he went to UNL

Defense excels in final days of fall camp
mark banker | dn Huskers defensive coordinator Mark Banker said he was happy with the way defense performed in practice on Friday. “Overall defensively,” head coach Mike Riley said, “I think we are better.” Riley Bowden assistant sports editor
The Nebraska football team ended a busy week with a scrimmage in Memorial Stadium Saturday morning. Defensive coordinator Mark Banker said it was the most important week of fall camp for his defense. “We had put the building blocks in place,” Banker said. “This could give us an indication as where we could go from there.” After practice on Friday, Banker talked about his unit in depth, specifically about being consistent schematically. He said the defense was focused on straightening out play calls, and establishing a scheme the Huskers will work off of when the season kicks off in two weeks. He made a point that the base they build in the preseason will dictate how they practice and play this fall.
“You can’t reinvent the wheel week in and week out,” Banker said. “There has to be something there.” He was happy with the way the defense performed in practice on Friday, calling the practice as efficient as he had ever seen. He was happy with the communication, the understanding his unit had of schemes and how they made plays. Banker has mentioned this camp that the defense was out of sorts heading into last season’s opener. A season opener in which we saw blown coverage, missed play calls and self-destruction culminate in a 42-yard hail mary win for Brigham Young. Now in his second year, there are fewer excuses for Banker and his defense to beat themselves. Attention to detail was a key Banker had in mind last week. Detail down to every step. Detail down to how his lineman are leaning and how it could affect the play. “All it takes is one guy out of that eleven,
and you’ve got a big play,” Banker said. Coach Mike Riley and Banker both seem to be happy with the options they have when it comes to those 11 guys we’ll see on the field come Sept. 3. There will be new faces making an impact. Last week gave the two coaches a little clearer picture of which faces those will be. Twins Carlos and Khalil Davis were a popular talking point on Friday and Saturday between the two coaches. Both believe the twins will be a big part in fortifying a defensive line that will see a shake up from last season. Riley said he is optimistic about the interior defensive line after seeing the development of Mick Stoltenberg, Peyton Newell and Logan Rath in camp. “We needed a lot of development and coaching, teaching and growth in the defensive tackle position,” Riley said after Saturday’s scrimmage. “That group right now
is a pretty good picture.” Another key development from last week was the emergence of youth in the secondary. Lamar Jackson, Dicaprio Bootle, Marquel Dismuke, JoJo Domann and Tony Butler all made their way into comments from Banker and Riley Friday and Saturday. That group of defensive backs are redshirt-able freshman, but have made their case to see playing time this fall. Banker made a point that they all have a long way to go to make that jump into mainstays on the defense in their first year, but he added that he is going to put the best guys on the field. With all of the events of last week considered, Riley welcomed the opportunity to talk about progress after Saturday’s scrimmage. “Overall defensively,” Riley said. “I think we are better.” SPORTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

DIXON: Williams DUI puts NU in tough spot
file photo | dn Michael Dixon dn staff writer
Keith Williams isn’t a bad man. He’s nowhere close to it – and if you watch him on and off the field, you can’t help but appreciate his zeal. His energy is contagious. His demeanor, laudable. Few coaches are as respectable and entertaining to watch. But last week, the man made a mistake. A big mistake. And as details trickle out, one can’t help but wonder the thought process behind the way the University of Nebraska has handled it. On August 14, Williams was arrested and charged with driving under the influence. It wasn’t Williams’ first DUI. Nor was it his second. Instead, it was the third time Keith Williams, a football coach at a high-profile, Division I university, was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. Three strikes, and you’re out? Not quite. Surprisingly, both the NU athletic department and the University of Nebraska came out with a lenient punishment: suspended without pay for two weeks, and he cannot coach or attend the first four games. Williams kept his job. He kept (most of) his salary. He’s still going to recruit, coach and develop some of the brightest young athletes in the country. And the only games he’ll miss? Fresno State, Wyoming, Oregon and Northwestern. Now, we don’t know everything – but there’s something that I think anyone who had a say in the decision-making process should ask themselves: Did we punish Keith Williams as a person, or did we punish Keith Williams as a coach and recruiter? If it’s the former, then I think the decision was fair. Even if it ends up being a third DUI conviction, Williams is into his mid-40s,
and regardless of the punishment, surely this is the significant wake-up call he needed. The University will make sure Williams – with three DUI arrests in 12 years – gets all the help he needs, and he’ll be able to provide unique and valuable insight into community outreach programs. Simply put, all of this can go a long way in helping Williams find the right track. But, in the same light, one can’t help but wonder if the decision-making process involved Keith Williams as a football coach. And if it did, shame on anyone who had a hand. If people really sat in a room, and considered that losing Williams meant losing a fantastic coach and Nebraska’s best recruiter – more so than anything else on the table – then this is nothing more than another situation in which the interest of an athletic department mattered more than doing what was right. Williams, in only one year with Nebraska, has done wonders both coaching and recruiting for the program. He brought in Keyshawn Johnson Jr., who picked Nebraska over the likes of USC, Ohio State and Alabama. He sold NU on Jaevon McQuitty, another four-star recruit who had offers from Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota. Because of Williams, the Huskers are in the mix for five-star wideouts Darnay Holmes, Joseph Lewis and Tyjon Lindsey. Without Williams as a recruiter, it’s difficult to imagine Nebraska in as good a spot as it is, and it’s even more difficult to believe any of these high-profile recruits would ultimately pick NU. But, with regards to a third DUI arrest, absolutely none of that should matter in the decision to keep Williams around, or let him go. This problem runs much deeper than football. One DUI is a mistake. A second is troublesome. But a third? That’s a pattern. A full-fledged problem – one which usually requires a serious set of consequences. And you sure hope Williams doesn’t pick up a fourth at some point down the line. Keith Williams isn’t a bad man. But he sure did make a big mistake. Let’s hope those responsible for his punishment didn’t do the same.

Husker volleyball chases back-to-back titles Becca Mann dn staff writer
After being crowned the 2015 National Champion and being a consensus No. 1 in preseason polls, the Nebraska volleyball team is ready for the 2016 season and hungry for another win. During a preseason press conference, coach John Cook told media the team is motivated by the desire to return to the national stage. “I think there’s still a buzz from last year,” he said. “This summer, we had the theme ‘chase the feeling.’ There’s still a really good feeling, and we’re going to continue to pursue that.” Cook said the Huskers will strive to make history this year. His current team has not won a Big Ten title, something it hopes to change while also striving to win back-toback national championships. “I think they have a great mindset on

how they’re going to do that,” he said. Big Ten play can be more difficult than championship play because it stretches a much longer period of time, Cook said. The random scheduling and 10 weeks of play demand more from players for longer. “There’s no easy night in this conference,” he said. Conference play will begin for Nebraska in a road game against Michigan Sept. 23. The two teams will face off again in the last conference game of the season Nov. 26. In the time between, NU will battle Big Ten opponents No. 3 Minnesota, No. 15 Ohio State, No. 9 Penn State, No. 20 Purdue and No. 4 Wisconsin. Nebraska will start the season by facing No. 10 Florida and No. 2 Texas at the VERT Challenge in Eugene, Oregon. The Huskers will also play in the Lobo Classic and host the Nebraska Invite and Ameritas Players

VOLLEYBALL: FROM PAGE 13 Challenge before the start of conference play. Husker fans can expect to see a few new, but highly anticipated, faces on the court this season. Junior Briana Holman was unable to play in 2015 per NCAA transfer rules after playing two seasons at LSU. Holman was part of the winning team in the Aug. 20 Red-White scrimmage. The White team won 4-0, and Holman finished with a match-high nine blocks and added six kills. Alongside Holman in the scrimmage was senior Baylor transfer Andie Malloy. The outside hitter played for Iowa State and Baylor before transferring to Nebraska for her final year of eligibility. Malloy led all players, with 16 kills and 11 digs while hitting .667 for the White team. Just three seniors, Amber Rolfzen, Kadie Rolfzen and Justine Wong-Orantes, remain from the seven-member, No. 1 recruiting class in 2013. “This is our last year, and we want to make every single day count,” Wong-Orantes said. “I think our mindset going in is just making it count and leaving no regrets.”
As the team strives to make it back to the national stage, junior setter Kelly Hunter will lead the Huskers as the sole captain for the 2016 season, a decision made by Cook himself. “My job is going to be to lead this team down a path that we don’t put the results down to one match at the end of this season,” Cook said. “This team has got to enjoy the journey and the process and playing together. That’s what they’re going to take out of it at the end anyway.”
a major problem. Let yourself be afraid that you’re not doing enough to improve your craft, but don’t get so bogged down with fear that you don’t do anything about it. Even worse, don’t stew in your pot of fear if you have no way out of it. It only works as a motivator if you have a solution to the problem, according to an article on Psychology Today. By no means should you entertain needless anxiety. Not only will it hold you back from the progress you’re trying to make, it can downright make you sick. While using fear has its dangers, we’d be wrong to brand it as our worst night-
mare. In fact, it can be a dream come true if we use it to our advantage. We as a society don’t seem to do this. We’d rather dispel our fears, whether they’re legitimate or not. While we’re tossing all the “icky” parts of fear – the doubt and stress – into the garbage, we’re potentially throwing away a valuable warning sign that has motivational potential. This is where worry-warts are right and Franklin D. Roosevelt was wrong. The only thing we have to fear is lot of things. That’s okay. ALEXA HORN IS A JUNIOR JOURNALISM AND ADVERTISING MAJOR.
