LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Juan Franco vice chancellor of student affairs
As summer comes to a close, the campus brims with activity. You can hear the band practicing in the distance and see students scurrying to find new classes. There is a renewed energy in the Nebraska Union as old friends reminisce and new friends plan to at-
tend upcoming student organization events. Aaah, the semester has begun. After a long relatively quiet summer, it is so refreshing to have the students back. Now that you are settling into your residence hall room or your apartment – I’d like to be one of the first to welcome you back to the University of Nebraska. This is a year of transition for the university. President Bounds has completed his first year with the University, and Chancellor Green is starting his first year in his new role. Both our leaders bring new energy and excitement to the campus. Our enrollment is at an all-time high; and we have the largest freshman class in the history of the university. Student engagement in campus activities is evident everywhere. And, oh yes, we have the best volleyball team in the country. It has been said that you can tell the health of a university by looking at the construction (or lack thereof) on campus. If that is the case, UNL is quite healthy. We have several new and remodeled facilities under construction. For example, the new College of Business Administration building is near completion, as is the new 17th Street Dining Complex across from Cather and Pound residence halls. We continue to remodel the Nebraska Union and plan to remodel the Nebraska East Union. The new East Campus residence hall also is well on its way to completion. It is safe to say
construction is booming on campus. As you start the semester, we wish you success at UNL both inside the classroom and outside the classroom. Our hope is that you graduate in four years. For most majors, that requires completing 120 credits, which means completing, on average, 30 credits per year. While you work toward completing your degree, we hope that you’ll take advantage of all that the university has to offer. This includes tutoring services, opportunities to study abroad, internships provided by the academic colleges and more. It means getting involved outside the classroom through: Leadership opportunities — join one or more of the 500 student organizations. Service opportunities — participate in a service-study trip. Health and wellness activities — visit Campus Recreation, the University Health Center and Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). Cultural events — plan to attend a Lied Center performance (many are free to students), or stop by the Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center. Athletic events — enjoy the many sporting events that only a conference like the Big Ten can offer. Most of all, enjoy your experience at UNL. If I can help in anyway, please don’t hesitate to contact me at juan.franco@unl.edu.

Union composting a step toward sustainablity Sarah Wontorcik DN STAFF WRITER
At Big Red Worms, a regular day at the office involves two million red wiggler worms. In a project launched at the beginning of August, the University of NebraskaLincoln has begun composting 3,500 pounds of pre-consumer waste from the Nebraska Union each week. Vendors put food waste into a provided bin, which is then transported to Big Red Worms to be made into compost. “There are just hundreds and hundreds of pounds of these worms that are eating away at the food waste and basically helping decompose it a lot quicker,” said Environmental Sustainability Committee member and UNL senior Cale Brodersen. “There’s a lot of buzz around it because it’s not just a pile of food that’s decomposing, you have a completely other whole organism involved.”
The project began in 2015 with a class project at UNL where students did a waste audit of the union. Students found that 80 percent of what was in the trash cans could have been composted. The ESC, which is part of the Association of Students at the University of Nebraska, heard about the project and wanted to get involved in finding a solution. “Making change in an organization this large is very difficult,” Brodersen said. “There are so many things involved and so many people that have to be involved. It was just the perfect example of different entities of the university coming together for one mutually beneficial cause.” With help from the Office of Sustainability and the Union Board, the ESC came up with a three-phase process to introduce com-

Band camp eases transition for freshman Rafe Parker dn staff writer
Just as the Husker football team prepares to take the field, so does the Cornhusker Marching Band. While not necessarily inexperienced, freshmen members are entering a new world with the transition to college marching band. For Austin Essman, a freshman computer science major at UNL, marching band is his second nature. He picked up the trombone in the fifth grade and never looked back. This year, he is one of 31 trombonists in the Cornhusker Marching Band. “Playing and performing music is just a different experience in its own,” Essman said. “No matter how many times I can practice or rehearse, nothing really beats the feeling of performing something on the field or anywhere.” As a Lincoln East high school student, Essman was heavily involved in the band pro-
gram, participating in marching band, various concert and jazz bands – including varsity jazz band – as well as brass choir and the pit band for show choirs. He jokingly said that when it came time to audition for college marching band, his high school directors gave him no choice. “Our temporary assistant band director said the (college) marching band was something that I needed to be in,” he said. “They really tried to heavily ingrain it in my mind that I should try out for it.” Essman said the audition process for the Cornhusker Marching Band is rigorous. Applicants go through two rounds of auditions: a music audition and a marching memorization audition. Hundreds of instrumentalists audition for the marching band, but only 300 become members. “During the audition process I was pretty stressed and worried,” he said. “Just the overall process itself, having to go through multiple stages just to be in the group, makes it competitive.”
College marching band, although similar to high school marching band in many aspects, can differ in other ways, said Essman. “It’s a lot faster paced,” he said. “Like in high school you’ll spend an entire season learning one show, but in college we have about seven or eight shows that we learn on the field.” He said members get to do much more music, drills and marching in college. Additionally, there’s more people in college marching band. Essman said people need to truly want to be in a college marching band, but that just adds to the experience. He’s happy to be with other people who enjoy it as much as he does. “Everyone’s just a lot more passionate about it,” he said. “People in high school might be passionate about it and love it, but in college that passion is a whole lot more intense.” Essman’s favorite thing about marching band is meeting new people. He also said his

fellow members have helped him make the adjustment to college life. “They’ve been really helpful in the transition, helping me fit in and learn everything,” he said. “I also just love meeting all the new people that are really nice and awesome, helpful and welcoming.” Essman said even though it can be intense at times, he looks forward to continuing with the marching band throughout his college career because to him it’s more than just a hobby. “I really love it and enjoy it,” he said. “Music is just something that I really enjoy doing and marching band is a really fun activity to do.”

Students push limits in dorm decorating
Elsie Stormberg dn staff writer
Heading up the elevator toward the sixth floor of Abel Hall, it’s hard not to hear the bass. The sound is coming from a 12-inch subwoofer behind a futon within the room of freshmen Justin Wiebelhaus and Andrew DiGiacomo. Along with it, they have created a room that includes an HD projector, two monitors, a desktop computer, a TV and multi-colored LED lights that project on the ceiling. For Wiebelhaus and DiGiacomo, the answer as to why they spent over five hours lugging high-tech equipment to furnish a college dorm room is simple; it’s how they meet new people. “It felt like we were the center of attention,” DiGiacomo said As University of Nebraska-Lincoln freshmen prepared for college over the summer, the task of furnishing a dorm room was at hand. For some that meant a pillow and a comforter, but others wanted something more. Whether it’s to create a home away from home or an icebreaker to meet new people, for some dorm decoration is an expression that builds relationships in a new chapter of life. Inside a fifth floor Sandoz room, freshmen Kaylie Burk and Shannon Willis went out of their way to not only develop a dorm that matched their personalities, but one that also felt familiar to both. “Having a home away from home was the biggest thing,” said Burk, a nursing major. “My mom was a big part of helping me feel
like I was taken care of up here.” Each has a little piece particular to them. For Burk, who’s from New Mexico, there’s lights and gold stickers lining the shelves and walls. For Willis, an elementary education major from Kansas, it’s do-ityourself projects. Burk began planning her dorm last year. She mainly used Pinterest for ideas, then watched for sales. She said working on her second home in advance helped her get good prices on everything from a TV to decorations. For Willis, setting up a homey space meant less about buying new things and more about surrounding herself with familiar things like jewelry from home and family photos. They also compromised on the color scheme. The girls wanted the room to flow, so they made sure to be on the same page when it came to the room’s palette. “I knew her bedspread was blue and navy, so I thought maybe it’d be good if I got something like that since those are big colors in the room,” Willis said. In addition to making things feel homey, both knew they wanted their room to be expressive and colorful. Willis said she knew that going in after seeing both sides of the dorm decorating spectrum through her brother and sister. In her brother’s dorm, Willis thought it was bare. Her sister’s on the other hand was “cuter, brighter and livelier.” In Willis’ and Burk’s experience, those differences are fairly common when you talk about boys’ and girls’ dorm decorations. “Guy rooms are sad,” Burk said. “They’re like little jail cells. They usually have like a flag and maybe a couple of posters.”

Andrew DiGiacomo, an undeclared freshman, and Justin Wiebelhaus, a freshman finance major, project the image of a tree onto their dorm room wall in Sandoz Hall. But Wiebelhaus and DiGiacomo are proving that stereotype wrong. In addition to all the audio and visual equipment they already have, the two say they’re planning on adding more. “We’re probably going to get some LED lights to put up around the corner of the
ceiling and maybe some changing lights,” DiGiacomo said. Through these decorations, the two have created a hub for students throughout the building. Wiebelhaus said they’ve had more

posting in the union. Phase one began with collecting pre-consumer waste from union vendors and phase two was introducing more zero-waste events held by registered student organizations. The final phase was providing compost bins in the union for post-consumer waste. ASUN president and UNL senior Spencer Hartman said union director Charlie Francis was hesitant at first, but the union is now on board with the project. With the union faculty’s support, Hartman expects the program to set an example for housing and other academic buildings on campus. “To me, it makes sense, it’s a win, win, win on the triple bottom line of people, profit and climate,” Hartman said. ”We made a small step, but I’m looking forward to making a giant leap.” Brodersen said the biggest barrier when it comes to introducing composting is getting past people’s initial reactions. “When most people think of compost, they think of a smelly area that just doesn’t sound like it’s a good idea,” Brodersen said. “Because it saves the union money, because it’s cheaper to take the waste over (to Big Red Worms) than it is to take it to the landfill, once that was introduced and understood, then it was simple.” Jeremiah Picard of Big Red Worms said he believes implementing a compost program at UNL will make students evaluate what they’re eating, discarding, buying and using.
“When you take everything at the end of the day and you throw it into one can that goes off to some nowhere-land and you don’t know what happens to it, you really lose connection with how much you’re wasting,” Picard said. “When students are informed about what happens to all the waste, they can see the impact it has on their community.” Big Red Worms was created in August of 2015 by the Nebraska Farmers Union with Picard leading the project. Picard said he’s always loved worms and, to him, it was a relatively simple solution to a widespread problem. “We have 150 tons of organic material, just food waste, that is going into the landfill every day,” Picard said. “This was a way to use a wasted resource to create a valuable end product which would then sustain global food production and our farmers.” Brodersen said he is encouraged by the steps UNL is taking in sustainability and said he enjoys seeing the hard work of so many different people pay off. “When we set our goals we set them high and we just do what we can, but seeing everyone and being able to congratulate them on making this change has been the coolest part, by far,” Brodersen said. “This is a really great example of changes we can make and makes (ESC) feel like much more than a club with a passion.” NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN

How a bet launched a raunchy comedic career Maddie Stuart DN STAFF WRITER
Some people spend their whole lives dreaming of a performance career. Others lose a bet and are forced on stage before realizing they have a knack for making people laugh. That’s how it happened for Audrey Farnham, at least. Two years ago, she lost a bet and signed a contract declaring, “I, Audrey Farnham, do hereby and hereon swear to perform standup comedy on (the date decided).” She said she no longer remembers what the bet entailed, but she does recall attempting to eat the contract to avoid following through with her promise. That plan failed, so she was forced to uphold her end of the deal and participate in open mic night at Duffy’s. After many nights of pacing before
performances, worrying what people would think of her, Farnham said she is now confident in her comedic abilities. She’s a prominent member of the local comedy scene, performing at least once a week in various venues around Lincoln and Omaha such as the Bourbon Theatre, Duffy’s and the Zoo Bar. She also hosts Zoolarious, the weekly stand up show at the Zoo Bar, with Brad Stewart, “the stepdad of Lincoln comedy,” as Farnham and friends call him. “Audrey Farnham is silly and irreverent,” said Stewart, a friend and mentor to Farnham. “Her ability to poke fun at taboo subjects always leaves an audience laughing in shock and awe.” Beyond Zoolarious, other comedy events in Lincoln recur regularly. Each month, Jimmy Putnam hosts Comedy at Cottonwood Café.

RONSPIES: ‘The Matrix’ is iconic through decades Wade Ronspies dn staff writer
“The Matrix” defined a generation. I was two years old when “The Matrix” came to theaters. I grew up surrounded by ludicrous amounts of “Matrix” references in everything I saw, whether I knew it or not. If I had to describe “The Matrix” with one word, it’d be “iconic.” “The Matrix” can be recognized by its slow-mo action scenes, late ‘90s techno music and sunglasses. Oh, the sunglasses. The sunglasses in “The Matrix” came on and off so much I was beginning to question if they had some secret purpose besides making Neo and friends more badass. I already knew a bit about “The Matrix” before jumping in for the first time, but nothing, absolutely nothing, could have prepared me for what I was about to experience. This movie oozes with style and atmosphere. The amount of awesome cyberpunk style is only rivaled by the amount of dated special effects. I understand the CG was probably mind-blowing at the time, but from my perspective as a movie watcher in 2016, I really had to try to put myself in the mind of a 1999 movie-goer to enjoy it. That’s not to say the action wasn’t awesome, though. The Neo and Morpheus kungfu battle, the office lobby gunfight and that awesome fight between Neo and Agent Smith really stood out to me. The choreography was cool. If I was someone seeing this for the first time in 1999, I would’ve thought this was the coolest thing ever created by mankind. “The Matrix” is a movie akin to the worlds of “Blade Runner,” “Ghost in the Shell” or the video game “Deus Ex.” Dystopian futures with advanced technology. It’s a genre I’ve always enjoyed, but didn’t realize I loved until I watched “The Matrix.” Something about the concept of artificial intelli-
michael johnson | dn
gence breeding humans as an energy source and keeping them subjugated by holding them in a simulation just gets me, I guess. There’s just something about the lore of “The Matrix.” There’s no huge exposition dump in the opening act and no clichéd dialogue blatantly explaining the world. It let me, as the viewer, unravel the world and form my own conclusions. It respected my intelligence as the audience, but wasn’t afraid to dive into cheesy,yet amazing, action sequences. “The Matrix” offers something for everyone. You’ve got the intelligent world-building and thought-provoking dialogue, but you’ve also got incredibly choreographed action sequences that let my brain rest for a few minutes. Well, it’s still blood-pumping, edgeof-your-seat action, but in terms of thinking about the philosophical thematics of life and human nature, it’s a mental break. I thought “The Matrix” brought up some incredible ideas. Are we all in a simulation right now? How do we know we haven’t already brought the downfall of humanity upon ourselves and living in a dream? What does it mean to be human? “The Matrix” got more deep than I ever expected. Combine the deep philosophy with awesome action and a rad cyberpunk setting. Then add some late ‘90s music, and you’ve got “The Matrix,” a movie that defined an era. I’m glad I finally watched “The Matrix.” I love the setting, the plot and the ideas it presents. The special effects are pretty damn dated, the costumes and soundtrack are so ‘90s it hurts, leather everywhere and Rage Against the Machine as the credits song, but I think it holds up rather well. It’s simply iconic. ARTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM
AUDREY FARNHAM: FROM PAGE 7 Putnam is a close friend of Farnham’s, who she said helps her book gigs around town. Quality Time with Jordan Klein is a monthly comedy competition at the Bourbon Theatre that Farnham judges. Farnham said she doesn’t feel the need to move to a big city such as Chicago or New York to perform because she has so many opportunities in Lincoln. “Obviously I’m not doing stand up in Lincoln for the money,” Farnham said. “But I think you can get famous anywhere. All you really need is a viral YouTube video, so why
go somewhere else when I’m just fine here?” As Lincoln comedy grows, more and more women are starting to perform stand up and host their own shows. Farnham said comedy is stereotypically a “boys’ club.” Women used to be looked down upon for making raunchy jokes that seemed unladylike. Fortunately for Farnham, she said she hasn’t noticed much gender-based judgment from other comedians around Nebraska. Instead of letting these preconceived notions about women in comedy get her down, Farnham makes fun of the stigmas.
“It’s crap,” she said. “Anyone can be funny unless you’re a laughless loser.” Farnham also pokes fun at typical problems females face in day-to-day life and anyone who does her wrong. She said her favorite pastime is judging, so she is fortunate to get paid to do that. Farnham said a good audience knows when to laugh and when to just be quiet and listen. When bar patrons are unaware that a stand up show is happening in the venue, they tend to distract the people who paid to see the show and bring down the energy of
a room. The magic happens when everyone is engaged. Although stand up comedy is just a hobby for Farnham, she said she would not be the same person without it. Had she not lost a bet and failed to eat the contract two years ago, she never would’ve found her passion for performing. “Nothing is cooler than the energy in a room when everyone is laughing,” she said. “Laughing rules.” ARTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

CHOW: Rio Olympics had their ups and downs
Leland Chow dn staff columnist
What a time to rejoice in my home country, Malaysia! The Malaysian contingent just broke its all-time record by achieving 4 silver medals in badminton and diving, and 1 bronze medal in cycling. We still want the
elusive first gold medal for our country, but most Malaysians know that these national Olympians have done their best. As the Olympics draw to a close, there were many similar happy moments. For example, Joseph Schooling, a Singaporean, managed to beat the legendary Michael Phelps in the 100m butterfly finals. Joseph Schooling met Michael Phelps, his childhood role model, back in 2008 when Schooling was still a young boy. Michael Phelps was Schooling’s reason to become a better swimmer. This exciting and happy moment was probably one of the eye-catching times I saw throughout the Olympics. Unfortunately, the Olympics were also plagued with a lot of criticism and hate. Long before the Rio Olympics had begun, many people, Olympians included, were worried about the political, economic and health issues in Brazil. Moreover, Olympians them-
selves were plagued with several behavior misconducts. Ryan Lochte, a fellow U.S. Olympian, along with his three other teammates, lied that they were robbed in Rio. The worse part to this story was that they actually vandalized a gas station bathroom in Rio and tried to leave, painting an ugly picture of Americans in a foreign country. What disgusts me even more was how certain members of the public, media and officials commented on the incident. The spokesperson for the Rio Olympics, Mario Andrada, said that the public should give “these kids a break”. This statement by Andrada fits the “boys will be boys” mentality, and that is not okay. In all fairness, Ryan Lochte is 32, which is well above the legal age of majority. Similarly, his teammates are all above the age of majority, the youngest being 20. Just because you are an Olympian, it does not mean that you can appropriate violence or vandalism.
Two other Olympians, Robel Kiros Habte of Ethiopia and Alexa Moreno of Mexico, drew criticisms from the media and the public. In Robel’s case, he was dubbed “Robel the Whale” as he did not have a typical swimmer body but instead had a “flabby” or “generously rounded” body, and finished last in the freestyle heat. Haters of Robel even said that he allegedly got into the Olympics because his father was the swimming federation president for Ethiopia, insinuating corruption. Similarly, for Alexa, she finished 31st out of 59 women in gymnastics and was criticized for being “fat”. No matter the reason, fat-shaming or body-shaming is not right. For both Olympians, I am proud of them that they represented their countries in the Olympics. Olympians should not have to conform to

Slezak: Trump preaches doom, lacks optimism
Riley Slezak dn staff columnist
Few people, places or events have produced the buzz that Donald Trump has in 2016. Trump’s meteoric rise from a seemingly joke candidate to the Republican Presidential nominee has given us plenty of memes and sound bites. His campaign has produced drama and controversy unlike any other political campaign in recent memory. Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan has been a lightning rod of hope for a new America, free of all of its dangers and downfalls. He promises protection
from enemies, both domestic and foreign, a rejuvenated economy and even a “great wall.” The problem is that Trump isn’t a middle schooler running for student council on a platform of ice cream for lunch and a longer recess; he’s a grown man running for President of the United States on promises that he can’t seem to give detailed policy plans to accomplish. To truly understand how Trump has made it so far without specifics on how he’ll build a wall, defeat ISIS or bring together a country that he sees as being deeply divided by President Obama, it’s important to look at the overall mood and message of his campaign. Rather than dive into how he’ll fix all of the problems he sees going on in America, he resorts to name-calling, accusations and mockery of anyone who stands in his way. This appeals directly to a certain group of Americans, those both uneducated on politics and the actual state of our nation, as well as those filled with anxieties and fears of where we are headed as a country. Trump does little to settle these fears inside of Americans, instead he tries to inflame the anxiety over the economy, race relations,
national security and immigration. He distorts facts to paint a picture of America that simply isn’t truthful. Instead of providing a message full of hope and optimism, he gives a doom and gloom image of America. The problem with this strategy is that it preys on people who are genuinely afraid and ignites the hate inside of them. Trump would rather blame problems on specific groups of people and rail on minorities than tell the American people there are brighter days ahead. A perfect example of Trump’s doomsday view of America was his Republican National Convention speech. In the speech Trump detailed how crime rates are on the rise and our country is plagued by violent crime in particular. “Homicides last year increased by 17 percent in America’s 50 largest cities. That’s the largest increase in 25 years. In our nation’s capital, killings have risen by 50 percent. They are up nearly 60 percent in nearby Baltimore,” said Trump. While the data itself may be accurate, it only tells half of the story. According to a Washington Post article, violent crime has been on a steady decline since 1990 and
this uptick in homicide rates for America’s 50 largest cities in 2015 has been shown to decrease over the course of 2016. The numbers may be true, but the claim they’re being used to back up is not. Another issue in which Trump uses half-truths and false narratives to fit his agenda is the state of the economy. Trump said the economy was “lousy” and that real unemployment rates are much higher than the reported ones, perhaps by as much as eight times. While this is the way Trump paints the economy, the Labor Department reported an addition of 255,000 jobs in the month on July and that wages have gone up 2.6 percent over the last 12 months. This isn’t to say there aren’t people struggling to find work and decent pay, but it does show that Trump’s version of the economy and the overall numbers don’t add up. While Trump has tapped into some legitimate fear and anxieties with Washington and American politics in general, he’s addressing it in a dangerous manner. Trump’s rallies have

Best opposing players to watch this season
Michael Dixon dn staff writer
Nebraska will score plenty of points. Question is: can it outscore its defensive liabilities? It won’t be easy – NU has the likes of explosive Oregon, curious Minnesota and intriguing Illinois visiting this year, all the while playing on the road at Wisconsin, Ohio State and Iowa in its final three road games. Nebraska’s defense will see plenty of talented players this year, but here are three to especially keep your eye on. Sep. 17 – Oregon – WR Darren Carrington Jr. The son of a former NFL receiver, Darren Carrington Jr. didn’t play in Oregon’s first six games of 2016. The Ducks went 3-3. After Carrington Jr.’s suspension, Oregon went 6-1 – the only loss a 47-41, triple-overtime thriller against TCU in the Alamo Bowl. The sophomore struggled in the final three games of the regular season, but caught 14 passes for 344 combined yards in each of his first three games, adding seven catches for 107 yards with a touchdown and a 44-yard grab against the Horned Frogs. Few wideouts in the country have the talent Carrington Jr. does. He’s averaged 19 yards-per-catch over his first two seasons, and tallied six touchdowns in just seven games after his return last year. Despite some injury worries in fall camp, Carrington Jr. should be good to go for the Ducks’ week-three visit to Lincoln, and if Oregon can figure out the situation at quarterback, Carrington Jr. and the rest of that talented Ducks’ receiving corps could feast on an NU pass defense that gave up nearly 300 yards a game in 2015. Sep. 24 – Northwestern – RB Justin Jackson Sure, the Wildcats lost three games by a combined 119 points, but in today’s college football, it’s difficult to fluke your way to 10 wins. In its 124-year history, Northwestern has a grand total of four 10-plus win seasons, and two of those have come under now-10year coach Pat Fitzgerald. Last year, Northwestern’s success was built largely around its defense – allowing fewer than 20 points a game – but so much was put on Justin Jackson offensively. Jackson, a junior entering his third year
as the Wildcats’ starter, ran for over 2,500 yards over his first two seasons, and Northwestern won’t be shy when it comes to using Jackson in 2016. The issue, however, is how effective Jackson can be if the Wildcats can’t form an aerial threat to loosen things up around him. If opposing defenses are able to focus solely on Jackson, Northwestern will struggle to recreate last year’s success. But, if Jackson continues to develop and the Wildcats can free up some space for him to run, he might be one the most difficult running back the Huskers will handle all year. Nov. 5 – Ohio State – RB Mike Weber Heading into 2014, Ohio State had to replace Carlos Hyde – a back who’d run for 3,198 yards and 37 touchdowns while averaging 6.1 yards-per-carry during his four years as a Buckeye. Luckily, the Bucks had Ezekiel Elliott standing by. But now, Elliott – like many of the 2015 Ohio State Buckeyes – has departed for the NFL, once again opening the door for an I-back to take control. There’s still some uncertainty as to who, but Mike Weber, a redshirt freshman who opened eyes in the spring and continues to assert himself
throughout the fall, looks to be ready. Weber, standing 5-10 from Detroit, missed three games his senior year of high school, and still managed to run for 2,268 yards with 29 touchdowns and an average of 10.1 yards-per-carry. Regardless of Weber’s statistics, if the

Buckeyes recruited him, there’s a pretty good chance the kid can play. And, if he can, he’ll be an entirely different back when Nebraska visits The Horseshoe in November. SPORTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

New alternate uniforms garner positive response Brett Nierengarten senior sports editor
courtesy photo
Since joining the Big Ten in 2011, Nebraska has unveiled a new alternate uniform for one game each season. And for the most part, the players were indifferent on them and the fans didn’t like them. There was the original in 2012, the all reds with a big black “N” on the front and the number in the corner and black helmets with a red logo. In 2013, the Huskers wore a black techfit jersey with white uniforms. In 2014, the Huskers rocked a similar uniform to 2012, with all red, large numbers and a two-toned red and black helmet. And finally in 2015, Nebraska wore an all-black uniform with a design on the front around the numbers that reminded a lot of people of a chain link fence. On Aug. 23, the 2016 alternate jerseys were revealed to the team prior to practice. The whole team sat in a room and were shown a pump-up video that
ended with multiple camera angles of the all-white jerseys to be worn against Northwestern on Sept. 24. The players were then shown a covered mannequin. Underneath was a real-life look at the new Star City-themed “Husker Chrome” uniforms. According to sophomore De’Mornay Pierson-El, no one had any inkling what the jerseys would look like and he personally didn’t think they were getting alternates. Players used the words nice, clean and icy to describe the jerseys. Pierson-El’s favorite part was the chrome facemask. Sophomore running back Devine Ozigbo said he and senior wide receiver Jordan Westerkamp agreed when they saw the new jerseys they were the best Adidas had ever designed for them. “A lot of guys like when we go all-white so the extra flair on the all white, it’s a good look,” said senior wide receiver Brandon Reilly. Reilly has a little extra excitement because the jerseys will be worn on his birthday. “I’m a big fan of the all-white,” said fellow receiver Zack Darlington. “All-white is
different, it’s kind of a new trend and everyone likes it, it’s a very clean look. I would say the vibe on the team now is that these are probably the coolest ones we’ve had in the last five years.” Darlington added the uniforms never get a bad response from the team because no one is too picky about getting a brand new jersey. “To switch it up is always fun,” he said. “You go places like Oregon where they never wear the same uniform twice, being able to do something different is fun, you get out of you element a little bit.” Offensive lineman Dylan Utter doesn’t consider himself a fashion expert or someone who gets excited about new jerseys, but he said they were the best the team has had since he’s been there and joked that the flashy uniforms are more for the skinny guys so they can accessorize with them. “Linemen just kinda keep it simple,” he said. Ozigbo said the team got excited when

New Husker volleyball additions to watch in 2016 Becca Mann dn staff writer
Hunter Atherton Atherton spent time practicing with the Huskers last spring after graduating high school early. Coming to Nebraska, she was ranked the No. 41 prospect in the Class of 2016 by PrepVolleyball.com and the No. 8 setter in the country. She is also a two-time all-Ohio First-Team selection and was named the Ohio Gatorade Player of the Year after her senior season. In 2015, Atherton led Dublin Coffman High School to the Division I state final and finished the season with 171 digs and 146 kills. The freshman setter was also named an Under Armour First-Team High School AllAmerican and won the Best Setter award at the Under Armour All-America showcase. Briana Holman Although not a newcomer to the team, this is the first season Husker fans will see Holman in action. The middle blocker from DeSoto, Texas, transferred to NU in Jan. 2015 from LSU. However, due to NCAA transfer rules and because she was not released from her scholarship at LSU, Holman was forced to sit out the 2015 season.
Now able to play, Husker fans can expect to see a lot more of Holman on the court. While at LSU, she started all 29 matches her sophomore year and was a First-Team AVCA All-American and led the Tigers with 3.94 kills and 1.47 blocks per set. Holman hit .383 in her 2014 campaign and recorded 166 blocks and 53 digs throughout the season. She could take the place of Cecilia Hall and Meghan Haggerty at middle blocker. Andie Malloy The Allen, Texas, native comes to Nebraska after playing one season at Iowa State and two seasons at Baylor. Malloy transferred in as a graduate student, leaving her with one year of eligibility. While at Baylor she was twice named First-Team All-Big 12. As an outside hitter, Malloy was an AVCA All-Region HonorableMention in 2015 after leading Baylor with 3.05 kills per set and 33 service aces. As a junior, Malloy ranked second in the Big 12 with 3.89 kills per set and 17 doubledoubles. Malloy led in kills (16) and digs (11) in the annual Red/White scrimmage. She could likely replace Kelsey Fien at outside hitter and be in the starting lineup when regular season play begins this weekend.
Lauren Stivrins A middle blocker from Scottsdale, Arizona, Stivrins comes to Nebraska ranked as the No. 9 prospect in 2016 according to PrepVolleyball.com and as the No. 3 middle blocker. She trained with the USA Volleyball High Performance development program and played club volleyball for AZ Storm, winning the 16 open division at the USA Volleyball junior national championships in 2014. In 2015, she led Chaparral High School to the Division I state tournament finishing with 5.3 kills per set as an outside hitter. At 6-foot-4, Stivrins is the tallest player on NU’s roster this season. Tiani Reeves A redshirt freshman from Gothenburg, Nebraska, Reeves didn’t see playing time her first year at NU. In high school, the outside hitter was named an Under Armour Third-Team All-American. As a senior, she was named a Lincoln Journal Star Super-State pick with 409 kills, 64 solo blocks and a .359 hitting percentage. SPORTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Rather, it’s an honor for them to represent their countries and participate in one of the most prestigious competitions in the world. Possibly more infuriating than bodyshaming is the hypocrisy and the obvious double standards of a certain magazine. Two years ago, Cosmopolitan reported that men who objectify women were more likely to assault them, implying that we should not objectify women. Two years later, the same magazine website posted a gallery of male Olympians’ bulges, signifying that it is okay to objectify men. Just because objectification of women is common, it does not mean that objectification of men is right. Back in 2013, the editor-in-chief, Joanna Coles, said that Cosmopolitan is a “deeply feminist” magazine. If Cosmopolitan is a feminist magazine, they should know that feminism promotes equality by treating each gender equally well, and not man-

Although I didn’t manage to watch both the opening and closing ceremonies, nor did I watch many competing sports, I did enjoy reading stories and reports.
