GUEST COLUMN
Welcome Back, I want to welcome the students to campus. Whether you’re a first time or a returning student, I hope you quickly experience the welcoming environment that the University of NebraskaLincoln offers. Whether it’s the sounds of the marching band practicing, the chatter of 1,100 freshmen women going through sorority pledge week or the excitement of students moving into the residence halls, all are a welcome change to the subdued nature of a campus during the summer. This promises to be another exciting year at UNL. We should have more students on campus than ever before. More diversity with more out-of-state and international students and better facilities for our students to learn, live and play. One of our primary goals for our students is that they leave UNL with a degree in hand. To that end, I ask that you avail yourself of all the services available to students including great libraries, computer labs,
the Math Resource Center, the Writing Center and advising centers. At the same time, we’re interested in developing the whole person. We want to produce educated citizens, civic-minded individuals who will graduate with a desire and ability to improve society. For that reason, we provide many opportunities, which complement the student’s academic pursuits. For example, we provide students a chance to develop their leadership skills through student organizations such as the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska or the Greek system. We provide opportunities to engage in service and service-learning through the Center for Civic Engagement. We want students to take care of their health needs; thus, we provide excellent services through the University Health Center, Counseling and Psychological Services and Campus Recreation. As a university community, we also look after
each other. Learn how to intervene if you see someone in trouble by taking bystander intervention training offered through the Women’s Center. In summary, take care of your academic responsibilities, feed your mind, body and soul. Make friends and enjoy your time at UNL. Have a good year.
Sincerely, Juan N. Franco Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs

After 1 month, sub shop ready to expand ANNIE ALBIN DN Old Cheney has been host to many new expansions and stores over the past few years, and now, Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop at 5609 S. 27th St. hopes to make its mark. Capriotti’s originally opened in 1976 in Delaware, New Jersey, and has since been a popular chain throughout the U.S. With its first Nebraska flagship, Capriotti’s has found quick success, and is looking to expand after only its first month in Lincoln. The sandwich shop is known for its use of
pulled turkey in subs and specialty sandwiches such as The Bobbie, which has special ingredients like cranberry sauce and stuffing. Unique sandwiches like The Bobbie have been making Capriotti’s fairly busy, and shop manager Chad Klein already has expanded his staff. After only initially starting with 20 staff members, the Capriotti’s staff has grown to 25 within the past month. “For a brand new restaurant, we’ve had our little errors and stuff, but we’ve put out a great product and we’re doing very well,” Klein said. “We’re exceeding expectations on a lot of people’s fronts.” With Capriotti’s doing well after only a
month, expansion is inevitable. Klein said if all goes well, a new Capriotti’s location could be open by January or February. The sandwich shop delivers, but delivery zones and minimum order amounts can hinder many orders to students on campus. While delivery service can be extremely student-friendly, Capriotti’s requires all delivery orders to be more than $20, thus hindering many individual sandwich deliveries. Capriotti’s also has a threemile delivery radius, which many students can be excluded from. Even though the delivery system isn’t perfect for all students, it’s still relatively easy to access and could become more convenient for stu-
dents when Capriotti’s expands later this year. While the location hasn’t been officially announced, Capriotti’s is looking for space nearby a campus audience. With this new space, comes new employment opportunities for students as well. Their Old Cheney location hasn’t seemed to stop students from enjoying Capriotti’s specialty subs, as Klein has noted that he’s seen more students as the school year has started. Klein is also excited to see as well where his staff will go with the expansion, and is looking to Capriotti’s future. ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

My friend enjoyed his Italian sub sandwich. He said that the tastes and flavors combined well; however, there weren’t nearly enough mushrooms– less than three mushroom slices on a 9-inch sandwich wasn’t quite up to his standards. The spicy peppers could be tasted, yet in looking through the sandwich, none were noticed. Capriotti’s offers flavors and combinations that you can’t easily acquire at other sandwich shops in the area. Most will create sandwiches with processed meats, while Capriotti’s are fresh. There’s a variety of toppings to choose from, along with several sandwich favorites and everything is prepared and cooked in the restaurant. Also, it’s fairly uncommon to find a
sandwich shop that goes beyond the footlong. I would definitely label it as a place to check into, but to avoid the lunch rush. It took us just under 25 minutes before we were served our sandwiches and salad. Capriotti’s also has several vegetarian options, hot sandwiches and some kid’s meal options. Altogether, a little less than $30 was spent at the sandwich spot, including the prices for both sandwiches, one including chips and a beverage and a salad. Even with the lack of space, long wait time and jipping of some ingredients, I was very impressed with the restaurant’s plating, flavors and assistance, which added to the appeal that this may well be one of the best sandwich shops in the Midwest.

Q&A with Josh Hoyer and the Soul Colossal ERIN MANSUR DN Josh Hoyer and the Soul Colossal rooted themselves in Lincoln, Nebraska, but are branching out to the greater Midwest and surrounding regions. Over the summer, the band changed its name, toured the nation and found deeper personal connections with the soul music they’re producing. The Daily Nebraskan spoke with Josh Hoyer to discuss the band’s recent adventures and future goals.
Daily Nebraskan: Your band underwent a name change. What’s the story behind that? Josh Hoyer: There were some other bands in the marketplaces that we were playing in with the Shadowboxers’ name. As we were growing, we saw that was going to be an issue, and I didn’t want to have any confusion. DN: What is the band working to achieve in its music? JH: The main thing for me and for the band is to connect. I’m 39, well I will be in two weeks, and I believe in the power of music. I believe that soul music, particularly R&B, can empower people. We’ve been traveling a lot the last few months, and we’ve realized that the music has to be about more than us. Trying to create music that speaks to the heart. DN: Do you have any specific albums or tracks that you think really connect to and empower your audiences? JH: There’s a couple of songs on this new album that we’re doing. There’s one called “Running From Love.” It’s pointed at this evasiveness that we have in our culture. It might be racial, it might be political, it might be about sexism or gender. And it is what is making it very difficult to move forward as a human race. There’s a lot of people out there that want to hear that kind of music right now. And want to have that voice speak to them. There may be a cure to all those problems. I think deep down we are all human, and if we could just get past these physical differences that we think we have, we’d see that each person hurts the same, each person wants the best for themselves and their family. The only way to do that is talking. Not through picking up a gun or coming at odds with people. That’s not how we move forward. I sing about girls too; I sing about love. But there is definitely a political, social awareness that I want to put into our music. There’s a lot of sickness in our world so let’s talk about it and try to get through it.
DN:
In concerts, many folks say they feel an emotional connection to your music. As you’re performing, what motivates you to be so intimate with your audience?
JH: When we started the band three years ago we were just trying to have fun. Play some dance music...people have grown to like it. I’ve spent more and more time away from my family. I’ve got two little girls at home and a beautiful wife, beautiful home and I’ve been away from all that. The music had to mean more. My real job in the world is to connect with people. I’m just one guy in the universe. I haven’t had any kind of savior complex, it’s not like that. But I do want to let people know that, ya, I’m hurting too. We are all hurting so let’s work together and let’s all try to do something about it. And I think a great soul singer or a great songwriter, that’s what they try to do. James Brown and his cats just laid it all on the line for the people in the community. DN: What’s the significance of being a musician from Nebraska? JH: People are kind of blown away by the fact that we are from Nebraska. I think there is the progressiveness in a traditionally conservative state, which is a beautiful thing. There is a certain amount of pride that I think we should have to feel that connection to all the people who are doing great stuff here in Nebraska. Don’t feel like, ‘I’m so ready to be done with college so I can move out of Nebraska to a place where things are happening.’ Because things are happening here. You can make your community look like whatever you want. But it is our job to make it look that way. DN: In the last summer, has there been anything improving your performance? JH: Knowing that people want to connect with us as performers. That is something that I shied away from most of my life. I would go on stage and play and then get off stage and go back to minding my own business. And I’ve re-
ally seen that you can have a great impact on people’s lives if you put yourself out there. I’m becoming more comfortable with that. I like to have quiet time and my own private time. I’d prefer to be alone a lot of the time. But those connections are something that I feed off of, the crowd feeds off of, the band feeds off of and so it’s kind of what makes it go. Also, just believing in this band. I’ve got great musicians behind me we’ve reached a powerful place in performances. We’ve gone through some serious ups and downs over the last nine months, but it’s time to get back on the horse.
that said, ‘the music comes first and if we believe in the band we’ll do as much as we can to promote that band and build them in our city.’ I’ve watched a lot of people benefit from that in the culture and just grow. These other cities that I’ve played, not all of them, but most of them, it’s ‘what can you do for me, why should I give you a chance.’ Which is fine, it’s an economic game but it’s lost a lot of the spirit. The mom and pop clubs like the Zoo Bar are dying. And these big conglomerate corporations are growing and growing. We do what we believe in and make just enough to get by. It’s a tough road.
DN: Who has been an inspiration to you in your performance?
DN: What does your band want achieve in the next year?
JH: Charles Bradley. There is a documentary about him called “The Soul of America.” He got done recording a record in Nashville and then he had a performance in Wichita the next night. So, he drove 14 hours that night just to get to the show. It reminded me of when I was in my 20s, going to see concerts was kind of a spiritual and extremely moving experience. I don’t know if it is because of my age or because of cynicism, but the music industry is an ugly place. It’s a lot of work, a lot of politicking, a lot of people that have a lot of money and power that don’t want to let you in. I saw Charles Bradley perform in Wichita and he was able to take the crowd and have them jam the entire time, just because he is completely and utterly honest with them. He spoke a message of love and it moved me to embody that idea as well. That was in May. I feel it has put a lot of fire into my performances.
JH: We are going out on a short tour here in two weeks and then we will be going to Nashville to record our third studio album. I’m hoping that’s the one that gets us where we need to be. We have a multi-Grammy winning producer that is working with us and sought us out. It will be released next year, so we will do some more touring, we will be taking a holiday to spend with our families at the end of this year. Then making a big push next year.
DN: You’ve mentioned that the music business is a rough place. What are some of the struggles that you have found in the last couple of months of traveling and recording? JH: Money is hard to come by, especially if you are going to do it with six people. A lot of clubs and producers are not in it for the right reasons. Most are in it to make a profit and sell liquor, but for some that’s the name of the game. Working at the Zoo Bar here in town for as many years as I have, I’ve watched a club philosophy
DN: What are some reactions and interactions that you are expecting to have with your Lincoln crowds as you move forward with your music? JH: It’s always great to be back in Lincoln. These are the folks that are closest to us and it’s home. And I hope some young people that are coming to University of Nebraska-Lincoln for the first time or haven’t ever heard us before are willing to open themselves up to a new experience. When I was 19, I was looking for that connection, I was looking for that spirituality, and I think that is something that our music can provide. We also want to give back some time here soon. Maybe partner up with a charity and do a benefit concert. By the end of this year, toward the beginning of next, we are expecting to have a big concert that is a fundraiser of some kind.

‘Cheatin’’ depicts full spectrum of love MICHAELA LUCKEY DN Two-time Oscar nominee and Palme d’Or winning filmmaker Bill Plympton will hold a Q&A session following the screening of his latest movie, “Cheatin’.” The Q&A will be held this Friday, Aug. 28 at 7:30 p.m. concluding the film’s screening at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Center. Tickets are charged at regular Ross admission prices. The Geske Cinema Showcase will present the animated feature detailing the story of a couple, Jake and Ella, whose idyllic relationship gives way to insecurity, resentment and infidelity. As reality shatters the couple’s newlywed bliss, Ella transforms into multiple incarnations of Jake’s mistresses in an effort to save their relationship. Office manager for Bill Plympton Studio, John Holderried, said the film’s subject matter may surprise those who often assume animated films are targeted exclusively at children. “‘Cheatin’’covers territory that most people haven’t seen in an animated film before,” Holderried said. “Bill based the story on a past relationship he had, plus it was influenced by the work of James M. Cain, who wrote ‘Double Indemnity’ and ‘The Postman Always Rings Twice.’To see the dual nature of a relationship, where two people can be in love, but also want to kill each other, that’s subject matter that isn’t explored often, even in live-action films.” With a career spanning roughly three decades, Plympton has been lauded as one of the industry’s most influential animators. Plympton hand-drew the entirety of “Cheatin,’” amounting to almost 40,000 drawings in total, and has referenced it as his greatest work to date. “I think the most incredible thing about Bill is his determination,” Holderried said. “He wanted to make a mockumentary about Hitler, called ‘Hitler ’s Folly,’ detailing Adolf Hitler ’s (previously unknown) failed
COURTESY PHOTO attempts to become an animator, and most people told Bill this wouldn’t be a successful film, and three people even quit the studio rather than work on it, but that only made Bill more determined to finish the film.” However, despite the challenges of ani-
mation reaching wider audiences,;it’s the genre’s boundless creativity and possibility that remain its staples. “It allows you as an artist to use your imagination in any way,” said Danny Ladely, director of the Ross Theater. “You can change
the shape of the known universe with a cartoon because you can do anything with an animation.” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Five nonprofit organizations are nominated to receive proceeds from ticket sales and sponsorships. All the organizations have the chance to present a 140-second long speech about themselves, and audience members vote on which organization should receive the proceeds of the event. Indigo Bridge Books is one of the nonprofits nominated this year. Indigo Bridge said they aspire to put books in the hands of children and also raise social literacy with adults. Indigo Bridge is a source for the Lincoln Public School System when it comes to literacy, as they offer summer programs and give books to schools for free or subsidized costs. Four other nonprofits present at Ignite. One is the Friendship Home, which offers shelter for victims of domestic abuse as well as their children. Matt Talbot Kitchen and Outreach has been a source for the homeless in the Lincoln area, and will be represented at the event. Another nonprofit featured at Ignite is the Nonprofit Hub, which aims to help other nonprofits and Voices of Hope, an organization offering help to those affected by sexual assault, domestic violence and other abuses.

Roswellgray, who is from Lincoln. Roswellgray said in her video interview with Gordon-Levitt that she initially visited the HitRECord site for writing prompts. While she browsed through the site templates, she discovered the “First Time” collaboration. She then shared her post “The Stars Were Stolen: a True Story,” a depiction of how she saw the Milky Way for the first time. Little did she know that other users would use her story to create a short film, “First Star I See Tonight,” starring actress, Elle Fanning as the night-blind
main character. All eight episodes of the HitRECord on TV series, followed this social-interactive theme. Collaborators continued to philosophize ideologies in episodes like “Fantasy” and “The Other Side” as well as contemplate more contentious topics such as “Money.” Gordon-Levitt has stated in multiple articles and proclaimed on HitRECord.org that the show continues to evolve in terms of reaching out to more HitRECorders in the community and featuring more celebrity apperances. His
intertwined connections with lead name actors, such as Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson, Seth Rogen, Zac Efron and Mindy Kaling have certainly helped with the talent recognition of the show. Gordon-Levitt has shown no intention of getting cold feet. Not with his brother Dan’s socks and an inspiring dream that motivate him to move forward. ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

COUNTERPOINT
Gender equality shouldn’t supercede feminism The majority of Americans think feminism and gender equality are distinctly separate things. And most are opposed to the former. In a survey conducted by Vox this March, only 18 percent of respondents identified as being a feminist. Ironically enough, 78 percent of the same respondents claimed to believe in “the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes”—a near verbatim repetition of Merriam-Webster Dictionary’s definition of feminism. But if so many people believe in what feminists stand for, why do those same people shrink away from being labeled as one? Maybe it can be explained by the words of blogger Herbert Purdy, who lovingly declared, “(feminists) are demanding, selfish, strident, rude, (and) denigrating of men and maleness.” This is the attitude most Americans seem to have toward the word; in their minds, feminism means misandry. And worse, they believe feminists are exaggerating the prejudice they claim to fight. Feminism, Purdy says, is “convincing (women) that they are oppressed.” In other words, people believe feminism is extreme, irrelevant and serves only to misjudge and demean males. Gender equality then, says the United States, but not feminism. Excuse me, but who exactly decided the two terms were mutually exclusive? Feminism isn’t and has never been an attack on men. Rather, it’s been a platform through which women can openly speak about the struggles they’ve faced as females and a rallying cry for the oppressed and voiceless women trapped by the heavy burden of sexism. Feminism is the movement that gave women suf-
frage. Feminism is what sparked laws making it possible for a woman to go to school, have a career, own her own bank account, buy her own possessions and live her own life. It’s what gradually convinced the U.S. to finally grant female professors tenure at universities, and what allowed Hillary Clinton to become Secretary of State after being told by NASA that they don’t train girls. Most Americans seem to think feminism is no longer needed, and the oppression noble feminists fought against in the past has disintegrated into a march for matriarchy. But history tells a different story. Less than a 100 years ago, when women marched for the basic right to vote, society labeled these noble feminists as loud, ugly man-haters who demanded female domination, not equality. Sound familiar? It seems the idea that feminists are obnoxious, man-hating and illogical persists not because of reality, but because of how society sees women. Women have never been encouraged to stand up for their own rights, even when the oppression they faced was (to us millennials) very obvious. Yet, an obvious and disproportionate amount of sexism aimed primarily at women still exists, and people remain convinced that society no longer needs feminism. Countless studies have shown how people judge women much harsher than men, even when nothing is different between the two besides their gender. A 2014 study showed that students rated their online professors as significantly more likable and more competent when
they assumed their professor was male rather than female; male professors masquerading under a female name were given much worse competency evaluations than if they used a male name, and vice versa. A similar study published in 2012 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America showed how people not only tend to judge job applicants with a female name as less competent, less hirable and less willing to be mentored, but also provide them with a much lower starting salary than if the same applicants are assumed to be male. In these studies, none of these judgments are based on anything other than a name—and an assumption of gender. Oh, but I forgot. We don’t need feminism. We don’t need a platform for women to talk about these issues because women are exaggerating their problems. Never mind the fact that 90 percent of sexual violence in America is aimed at women. Never mind the fact that 1 in 6 American women have been sexually assaulted. Never mind the fact that millions of baby girls around the globe are murdered before they can even walk, simply because they’re female Never mind the fact that I’ve had discussions with men who openly and passionately debate the kind of freedoms, activities and talents I should be allowed to express on account of my gender. Never mind that I’ve been told— to my face—that making more money than the future husband I’ll supposedly have dishonors God. Never mind how women are disproportionally more affected by sexism than men. Feminism
shouldn’t exist. Because feminists hate men. Is having a platform for women to discuss their very real problems misandry? Or is feminism considered a threat because it doesn’t hand sexism on a nicely wrapped platter to men and serve it as something that’s easy to handle? Women face more oppression than men on a daily basis. That’s a fact. To brush over it with a nice new title like gender equality is misleading. It treats the whole body as if everything was hurting equally and in the same way, but it’s not. There’s a bullet wound that’s festering, and we’re acting as if treating it would take attention away from the arm. Yes, men have problems too. Yes, men certainly face their own sexism, as I’ve written about before. But no, the phrase gender equality shouldn’t replace feminism. Feminism and gender equality co-exist as parts of the same whole. Feminism is a platform that allows women to discuss their own problems in their own voices, to stand up and against the oppression, hatred and bias that stands disproportionally against them across the globe. Feminism gives women a voice to say, “We matter for ourselves and in our own right. Our problems matter because we do.” And until women themselves become irrelevant, feminism will never be irrelevant. TEGAN COLTON IS A SENIOR ENGLISH MAJOR. REACH HER AT OPINION@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM.

Advice for students abroad, from one Studying abroad is a good chance to experience a bigger world. Thus, international students should do their best to make their studying abroad successful so they don’t miss all of the opportunities available to them. I’m an international student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, so I’m going to give some tips for students who have just started studying abroad in Lincoln. There are some goals for international students such as learning English, having a good GPA and socializing. Among these goals, I’ve focused on learning English and socializing. There are many opinions, but no one can deny that English is a dominant language in the world. Thus, many international students study abroad in English-speaking countries, and learning English is one of the most important goals of international students. Also, I personally think that the best quality of the education in the United States is its freedom. I was sick of indoctrination from South Korea. I was a student who needed an environment that gave me more academic freedom. After thinking about it a lot, I realized that I wanted to study abroad in the U.S. When I decided to study abroad, I was in the army, so I didn’t have enough time to prepare. I left South Korea exactly one week after
I finished my army service. I also didn’t study English in middle and high school because I wasn’t motivated to study. Everyone was taking the same curriculum, and my parents and teachers forced me to follow one particular program. That made me lose interest in studying. Accordingly, I couldn’t speak English at all. If my brother didn’t come help me, I wouldn’t even have been able to find my dorm room or class schedule. After my brother left Lincoln, I was alone. I didn’t have any friends or relatives here. I couldn’t speak English, but no one could help me in my language. I had to learn English to survive in Lincoln by myself. I started studying very hard for the first time in my life. I only slept three or four hours every day and spent all my time studying. I had improved a lot and after studying two months in the Intensive English Program, I became a UNL student in the fall semester of 2013. I was so proud of myself that I reached my goal in the short term. Rewarding myself for my efforts, I decided to let myself enjoy Lincoln, and I started making friends. However, I panicked when I actually met new friends because I couldn’t understand what they were saying. I

TBT 1981: Social drinking or jogging? Several people have accused me lately of being anti-jogging. This isn’t true. If grownup individuals prefer running around in circles to sex (see “Jogging—The Key to Celibacy” in the Journal of Sports Endocrinology), that’s their prerogative. I don’t jog because my avocation is social drinking and jogging thus offers little challenge and no allure. Besides, no serious social drinker has time for both. By social drinking I’m not, of course, referring to the mere consumption of alcohol. Any idiot can lock himself up in a room and drink himself blotto. This requires neither skill, intelligence nor competitiveness. When I hear of a friend locking himself up in a room and drinking himself blotto, I always say he might as well be jogging, which certainly proves I’m not anti-jogging. No, the exhilaration of social drinking comes when one publicly demonstrates one’s ability to hold one’s liquor—particularly if it‘s a Bloody Mary in a crowded room with a white rug and the only place to set the wet glass down is the pristine surface of the grand piano. But reaching this pinnacle of social drinking is by no means easy. Most great social drinkers, such as tennis players or violinists, start very young. Usually, their earliest practice fields are the interiors of old parked cars where they may remain comfortably seated. Secure in
the company of fellow neophytes and shoddy upholstery, their errors of dexterity and intake are viewed with tolerance and they’re encouraged to press on. And they definitely need all the encouragement they can get. For the initial challenge in social drinking is to get the stuff down. It tastes vile. But after months or years of practice, even the most callow youth can swallow such obnoxious, bitter substance as beer without a grimace. He’s then ready for the next rite of passage. The initiate is led into a dimly lit room and downs at least three youthful drinks, such as Beefeater gin and Coca-Cola. At this point he’s confronted with an array of ingenious devices which test his hand-eye coordination. These tests include pool, pong, pinball, and “Space Invaders” and it’s no coincidence that their greatest concentration is to be found in neighborhood bars. More years of training follow. When the budding social drinker can defend the planet Earth from hordes of alien spaceships while under the influence of three Annie Walkers and 7 Up, he’s deemed fit to meet the ultimate challenge in holding his liquor—the American cocktail party. First of all, unlike the situation in the

LEE: FROM 11 was deluding myself that I had improved a lot, but I hadn’t improved my listening and speaking skills. My problem was I studied English just for knowledge. I didn’t really enjoy learning the language, but I had been obsessed with studying English as much as possible. I was obsessed with my test scores, but I was only satisfied with my written English not my spoken English. After I realized what my mistakes were, I tried hard to learn English from daily life. I tried to make friends from different countries so I could be familiar with different accents. When I learned new phrases, I used each of them for a week so I could keep the phrases in my head. The more people I met, the better my English became. While I was making new friends, people
asked me if I was Chinese because I’m an Asian. Some people who were around me told me that’s kind of racism, but I wasn’t offended because it’s actually hard to realize what country a person is from. I couldn’t even distinguish where my Nigerian friend was from or my French roommate was from before I asked them. It doesn’t mean international students should tolerate racism, but if they open their minds and understand differences. It’ll be easier to make friends from other countries who don’t share the same culture as their own. I understand students who are studying abroad miss their countries, foods and languages. Thus, they just spend time with their own countrymen. With their time, they build a community and communicate with their own language. That disrupts international students
from improving their English and making new friends who don’t know their language. However, instead of building a wall, if they advertise their cultures and share their cultures with domestic students or other international students, they can cure some of their homesickness and make new friends. Other than these, there are numerous ways to make international students’ college lives successful. I hope everyone can figure out what’s the most important value to achieve their goals and enjoy their study abroad experience at UNL. DANNY LEE IS A JUNIOR GLOBAL STUDIES MAJOR.

laughingly called “cocktail tables,” all being far too crowded with platters of soggy hors d’oeuvres to hold a single cocktail. Show me a man who can negotiate such hazards for two hours while maintaining several lively conversations and yet spill nary a drop and I’ll show you a man who can hold his liquor. So it’s little wonder that when my wife, Glynda, asks me why we’re going to this cocktail party or that, I simply stare her in the eye and say grimly, “Because
it’s there.” The reason I bring the matter up at this particular time is to assure our friend Bruce that I think none the less of him for spilling that Zinfandel on our yellow couch Friday night. He’s obviously only a jogger. THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PUBLISHED THE ABOVE EDITORIAL BY ARTHUR HOPPE ON THIS DAY IN 1981 AND IS A PART OF THE DAILY NEBRASKAN’S THROWBACK THURSDAY SERIES.
