UNLPD addresses racial bias through training Noah Johnson DN STAFF WRITER
Across the country this summer, issues of race relations and police brutality were pervasive in cities like Dallas, Texas, Minneapolis, Minnesota and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Many see these issues rising from racial biases in police departments, calling for more training in how to address these sometimes subconscious elements. Training to address these issues — often called sensitivity training — is fairly common across the country, especially in Nebraska. “University of Nebraska-Lincoln police annually trains all law enforcement officers on all state statutes with biased based policing,” said UNL Education Officer Nolan Conradt. Several statutes define racial profiling and inform officers the importance of addressing it.
adam warner | dn
Introduced in 2013, Nebraska Revised Statute 20-501 states, “Racial profiling is a practice that presents a great danger to the fundamental principles of a democratic society. It is abhorrent and cannot be tolerated.” The statute defines racial profiling as “a means of detaining or conducting a vehicle stop based upon disparate treatment of an individual.” This differential treatment applies to people based upon their race, color of their skin or national origin. The UNL police department trains officers to see what racial profiling looks like. This way it can be dealt with effectively and, ultimately, prevented. UNLPD teaches its officers how to report racial profiling among other officers as well. “We teach officers how to report bias based on stop and frisks and Fourth Amend-

UNL Digital Humanities continues to push envelope Amzie Dunekacke dn staff writer
From 1995 to 1997, the Text Studies Committee within the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s College of Arts and Sciences met to discuss how the internet was changing education and research. To keep up with the times, they suggested the addition of an electronic-text center in the UNL libraries. Proving to be a success, the E-Text Center was given new status as the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities in 2005. Today the CDRH continues to help faculty begin creative, scholarly projects by providing special tools, platforms, workshops and guest speakers. These efforts continue to push UNL forward in the area of digital humanities. Over the last 20 years, UNL has built a reputation as one of the leading institutions in the field of digital humanities. Though not easily defined, digital humanities is an area of study that combines humanities, scholarship and computing. For UNL, the journey to find their digital humanities program began before the term was even coined. Katherine Walter, co-director of the CDRH, remembers being involved in the first stages
of the Omaha and Ponca Digital Dictionary, an online site where users can explore the Omaha and Ponca languages. “It started out with a small seed grant and brought in an award of $348,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities,” Walter said. Walter has watched many other digital humanities projects such as Civil War Washington, Cuban Battlefields and the Encyclopedia of the Great Plains thrive at UNL with the help of the CDRH. In fact, the CDRH has worked on projects with 85 faculty across 13 departments and five colleges at UNL. One of these projects is the Willa Cather Archive. The Archive is an online catalogue that presents users with digital materials on the life and works of Nebraska author Willa Cather. “Cather’s life and work doesn’t feel narrow and closed and finite,” said Andrew Jewell, editor of the archive. “It keeps going into new worlds because she was such a curious person. All sorts of things show up in her life.” In addition to text digitization and encoding, the project requires communication. “Another thing that we definitely want to do is reach out to the community and use social media and connect with people in a way
araya santo | dn
that is providing some insight into the world of Willa Cather, but also having fun,” Jewell said. The Willa Cather Archive maintains a Twitter presence (@hastilycather) and hosts a number of Cather-themed events each year. The assistant editor of the Willa Cather Archive, Emily Rau, recalled reading one of Cather’s letters at such an event. In the letter, Cather talked about a new baby girl being born. “The lady, now elderly, was there in the audience,” Rau said. “The family is very supportive of the letters being published. They would like to have people do the research.” From 2009 to 2013, UNL did a cluster hire of digital humanities professors and added seven faculty members. These additions effectively doubled their faculty at that time. The early development of the CDRH and strategic moves such as the cluster hire have kept UNL ahead of the pack in regard to digital humanities, Walter said. This summer, UNL had a large presence at the Digital Humanities 2016 Conference in Poland. “I felt so proud to be a Husker,” Jewell said. “So many professors were there and did wonderful presentations.”
The university’s methods for awarding tenure based on digital scholarship, a guide which was developed in the 2006-2007 academic year, is another action that sets it apart, said Matthew Jockers, a UNL professor of English, associate dean for Research and Global Engagement and a leading scholar in the field of digital humanities. Jockers said there’s a diverse range of UNL faculty engaged in the digital humanities, adding that there are five articles written by UNL professors in the latest edition of “A Companion to Digital Humanities.” For students interested in getting involved with the digital humanities, junior English and history major, Sara Duke, recommends taking the leap. For more than a year, Duke has held a research position with the Walt Whitman Archive, contributing to the online database of transcribed Whitman poems and interviews. “You don’t need to have any sort of computer science background whatsoever,” Duke said. “You might just like a particular era of literature or paintings, anything humanities related.” NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM
Sara Duke navigates her notes and different windows on the computer desktop. She has been with the Walt Whitman Archive for a year, and is working on a new project. Duke is an English and history double major with a minor in digital humanities. She plans to study abroad in Europe for DH in spring 2018.

Figuring out the next step when bids don’t come Christa Rahl dn staff writer
The week before classes began this year at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, over 1,000 college women went through formal recruitment in hope of getting a bid from one of the 15 sororities on campus. To some’s dismay, after a week of walking in wedges and talking to multiple strangers, some girls didn’t receive an offer to join such a group. At that point, they were faced with a decision: end their Greek life or apply for open recruitment. Freshman English and film studies major Hannah Petty chose not to go on. “When I got the call that I wouldn’t get a bid, I was sad at first,” Petty said. “But then I was relieved that I would save a lot of money.” On the other hand, freshman pre-veterinarian major Megan Schleisman decided to stick to her goal of joining a sorority and proceed with open recruitment. “I have already had girls from my favorite house reach out to me to start open recruit-
adam warner | dn
ment,” Schliesman said. “Open recruitment will be much more relaxed and less stressful than formal recruitment.” The decision to continue came after a full week of getting to know each house during formal recruitment. Each day of the week had a specific purpose. The first day was dedicated to getting to know the group each girl would be spending the week alongside. The next two days involved meeting the chapters. This included 20-minute conversations between the potential new members and active members of each house. The next few days included the young women ranking their favorite chapters and learning each house’s principles. Throughout the week, the women would be asked back to some houses and not get asked to return by others. On Friday night, the night before bid day, the girls who would not be receiving a bid envelope the next morning received a phone call. “I was sitting in my room with my roommate and got a call from a 402 number,” Schleisman said. “I knew right away what it
was, and didn’t want to answer it.” The phone call was hard to listen to, but Petty said she knew she could handle it. “I was prepared for bid day,” she said. “Instead, on Saturday, I just did my laundry.” Schleisman decided after her phone call that she didn’t want to be in Lincoln the next day. “I went home (to) Omaha with my roommate,” Schliesman said. “I didn’t want to be here while the other girls were getting their bids and having fun.” Despite the letdown of bids that never came, both girls are happy with their current situation. “When I talked with the girls from Phi Mu it just felt right,” Schleisman said. “It felt like I was on ‘Say Yes to the Dress.’” Petty is content with having the option to rush again next year, but has yet to decide if she will. Both girls agreed going through the process was worth it because they met new and friendly faces. Because of that, they’d still recommend the experience to girls on the fence. NEWS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Game day Husker shop gets location Rafe Parker dn staff writer
The University Bookstore’s satellite location received an upgrade after a move from a tent in the Memorial Stadium loop to the old Nebraska Bookstore in downtown Lincoln. Located at 13th and Q streets, the new game-day shop will be positioned at the north part of the building. The new location will be temporary and only open during the 2016 Husker Football season. The space is being rented by the University Bookstore while plans are being finalized for the new Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts, said Jeni Fuchs, director of the University Bookstore. Fuchs said the University Bookstore looked at different locations outside of Memorial Stadium and was pleased to be able to move into the former Nebraska Bookstore. She said space was limited at the former tent location. The new store will be able to accommodate more merchandise and offer snacks and beverages, restrooms and a larger staff.
“It’s just much more spacious, more racks,” she said. “It looks nice.” Fuchs said the new location will make it easier for staff when it comes to business. In previous years, staff would have to set everything up, tear it down and then bring everything back to the bookstore on City Campus. “This is going to be easier on us when it comes to the end of the game,” Fuchs said. “We get to just lock the door and come back to the store.” Fuchs said business was always bustling at the tent location thanks to heavy foot traffic in Memorial Stadium. She said the Nebraska Bookstore was also a hotspot on game days, and hopes it stays true for this season as well. “We’ve seen a lot of people pulling on the doors,” Fuchs said. “I think there’s already people peeking in.” The new location will not cost the university anything, Fuchs said. All expenses, such as cleaning services, heating and air conditioning, are paid for by Follett, which manages the University Bookstore. The new satellite location will only be open on Friday and Saturday during home games. Fuchs said, starting this Friday, hours
will be 12 to 8 p.m. depending on how busy it is downtown those nights. Saturday hours will be determined on game time. For morning games, the store will be open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. for afternoon kick-offs; and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. for evening games. The new game-day shop is the first thing to move into the former Nebraska Bookstore since Neebo Inc. closed the location in July of 2015. The university then bought the space. Since then, an array of uses have been considered for the location. One of these being Ndamukong Suh’s NikeTown which fell through in March of 2016. One use that isn’t going away, however, is the new Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts. Plans for the new center are still being developed, and it is not scheduled to open until the fall of 2019, said Charles O’Connor, dean of the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts. “A satellite bookstore there in the short term should not affect those plans,” he said.

According to NRS 20-504, UNLPD is required to retain the number of motor stops and the characteristics of the person stopped, such as race and ethnicity. NRS 20-504 adds that “any law enforcement officer, unless restricted by privilege, who becomes aware of incidents of racial profiling by a law enforcement agency, shall report such incidents to the Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice within 30 days of becoming aware to the practice.” “We train our officers to become aware of what racial profiling looks like among other officers, as well as what it perceives to look like,” Conradt said. “You have to separate your biases from your law enforcement work.” Juan Franco, vice chancellor for Student Affairs, said sensitivity training helps UNLPD serve the university better. “This type of training has a very positive effect on the way people think,” he said. “It has the opportunity to change people’s behavior.” Franco said when law enforcement addresses racial biases, it has an effect on the entire campus. But it’s not a fix-all solution to insure an inclusive environment. “I think this training is one very important part of a comprehensive plan to make UNL a more inclusive campus,” he said. “While UNL is very diverse, we still need to work to make the campus more inclusive for the entire student body.” This comprehensive plan also includes hiring a consultant to conduct a diversity audit for the campus. This audit will help UNL decide what is specifically needed to make the campus a more inclusive space for its students. During the first Association of Students of the University of Nebraska senate meeting last week, Chancellor Ronnie Green emphasized the importance of supporting UNL’s core beliefs and the reinforcement of the acceptance of students on campus. “Chancellor Green has a lot of ideas going forward and he wants to move quickly onto bigger ideas,” Franco said.

Professor’s research focuses on Christian sexuality Maddie Stuart DN STAFF WRITER
Kelsy Burke found inspiration for her doctoral dissertation from a Google search of “sexy Christian dressing.” Or something along those lines. Burke joined the faculty of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln at the start of this semester as an assistant professor of sociology.
Kelsy Burke, assistant professor of sociology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, stands in her office. Burke’s first book “Christians Under Covers: Evangelicals and Sexual Pleasure on the Internet” studies how modern Christians interpret and discuss the Bible’s views on sex.

Her interest in Christian sexuality sparked when she was a teenaged, born-again Christian struggling to understand the church’s views on sex. Now she strives to incorporate her research into lessons as she teaches college students about sexuality and other sociological subjects. While working on her Ph.D. in sociology at the University of Pittsburgh, Burke joined a women’s Bible study in hopes of gaining inspiration for her research. During a conversation about feminine modesty, she said one lady was visibly agitated by the group’s views on how women should dress. This woman said she believed God wants women to show off their bodies because it makes their husbands happy, and that God made sex for a reason. Burke said she had not heard many Christian women talk about sex in that way before,

UNL student interns with Oman’s U.S. Embassy Wade Ronspies dn staff writer
James Garza spent the Fourth of July shaking the hands of foreign diplomats from around the world. This past summer, Garza worked as an intern with the State Department in Oman’s
U.S. Embassy for three months in Muscat, the capital city. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln senior global studies major said Oman is a low-key country but one with a large role in Middle Eastern politics. “They maintain excellent relations with the United States, Iran, [and] with the rest of
the Gulf Cooperation Council countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the U.A.E. So they’re very important,” Garza said. James Garza started working with the U.S. Embassy in Oman by applying through U.S.A. Jobs, where he said dozens of different jobs across the world could be applied for. James’ studies are focused on the Middle East, so when it came to choosing where to apply, it was an easy choice. However, James’ internship was not the first time he had been to the Middle East. He had previously studied abroad in Jordan in 2014. “I got to go do all of the touristy things,” Garza said. “The Petra Wadi Rum, ride a camel in the desert, all that good stuff. That was really nice. I fell in love with Jordan.” He had also visited Oman previous to his internship, as part of a twoweek program with the University of Nebraska Assistant program. It involved fourteen students, half of which went to Oman while the others studied online. James made it clear that he has an intense appreciation not just for Oman, but the Middle East and its culture as a whole. He said he’s learned a lot in his time in the Middle East, but especially from Oman. “When I went for the first time, I just learned the basics about what Omani culture is like and how much different the culture is from Jordan and the rest of the Middle East,” Garza said. “Oman is a unique country […] I got to see how Oman fits within this giant machine that’s trying to work to achieve peace in the Middle East. Oman has a unique role. It’s a country that we don’t really talk about very often.”
He started as a music major at UNL, but after taking courses in Arabic, he wanted to get involved with the Middle East. His job as an unpaid intern in the U.S Embassy in Oman involved a myriad of different responsibilities. From running their social media pages to writing press releases that would be sent directly to Washington D.C., it was a busy three months for James. A busy three months surrounded by incredible cultural diversity just in the workplace alone. “Most of the people that work there are not Americ a n s , ” Garza said. “They’re locally employed. In our case, it was a lot of Omanis, a lot of Indians, a lot from Pakistan doing various things. Without our local staff, there was no way we could have had our newspapers translated every morning or being able to make calls or order food for an event.” Along with meeting many of the locals who worked at the Embassy, Garza also met many political figures from the region, including Oman’s foreign minister, Yusuf bin Alawi. Garza said one of his favorite memories of his time in Oman was that Fourth of July party, which had to be moved to Memorial Day due to the intense heat of an Omani summer. It was there he got to shake hands with bin Alawi, as well as rub shoulders with ambassadors from all around the Middle East. “At these kinds of events, a lot of work gets done between different countries, different governments,” Garza said. “What I learned is that diplomacy has a lot of hoops to jump through when you want to get certain things done.”
“Most of the people that work there are not Americans,” Garza said. “They’re locally employed.

KEELEY: My experience with Tinder Social Johnny Keeley dn staff writer
I’m no stranger to Tinder, I’ll be honest. When I heard about Tinder Social, I was like: “OK, easy enough concept. Swipe left, swipe right, seems pretty simple doesn’t it?” I was mistaken. I was oblivious to the nuanced intricacies that existed in group Tindering, which brings us to this disappointing story. Last week I decided to try Tinder Social on a college campus for myself. Tinder is a social media app that acts as a platform to match single (or maybe not-sosingle) people and help them interact with one another. The app now has a feature called Tinder Social, which allows groups of up to four people each to match up and then possibly meet up. You can choose different emojis for your group that say what you’re playing on
doing like: “We’re going out” or “Downtown tonight.” The groups appear in the regular feed where you normally swipe, and depending on how many are out, the groups appear less or more frequently. You can still see everyone in the groups’ pictures and corny bios. Once your groups match, all of you are put in a group chat to further discuss your plans for your (hopefully) eventful evening. Unfortunately, it wasn’t so simple for me on my first go around. A couple of friends and I gathered in a room and jumped on the app around 9 p.m. last Friday night, buzzing, ready to go. We re-downloaded our Tinders — dormant since freshman year — and figured out how to create our group. From there, we started furiously swiping right on literally any group we saw. We learned pretty quick there wasn’t a huge pool
of groups hitting the town that night, so we changed our settings to cast the biggest net: an 18 to 55 age range and 100-mile distance range. We prepared ourselves to be ready for anything. After getting through all the groups we waited for about half an hour and didn’t hit any matches. We decided to go out anyway; see if anything came up later in the night that we could revisit. The night got weird and my naive mind learned two big lessons about the Tinder Social game in Lincoln, Nebraska: 1. If you’re under 21 and can’t go downtown to the bars and don’t have any illegal substances (marijuana in particular) on you, you’re going to have a pretty tough time with this crowd. I’m sure there are silver linings out there, though. You saints of Tinder Social, I wish I could’ve found you. 2. It’s better to start earlier in the day instead of waiting until the last minute at night, if you’re under 21.
photo illustration by tyler schank | dn Johnny Keeley, (left) and friends use Tinder Social in an attempt to meet different groups of people.
So, yeah. We didn’t actually end up meeting with anyone. Our pride took a hit but we learned a lot. We actually ended up getting five-ish matches the next morning when we switched our emoji to “Brunch with us,” but by then we already had plans for the day. Timing is everything I guess. Maybe my Tinder game is just as weak as can be, which is a very real and plausible possibility. Maybe don’t open with, “Hey girls” every time, and maybe just genuinely be over the age of 21 and/or a drug kingpin. That being said, while I’m still delving into the layers of Tinder Social’s complex dynamics, it really could just be as simple as a left or right swipe. ARTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN KELSY BURKE: FROM PAGE 7
but when she looked into the subject, she found hundreds of women were involved in discussion on online Christian sex advice forums. After writing her dissertation on these websites, Burke spent two more years studying 36 Christian sex forums, surveying 800 users and interviewing 50 women. Her first book “Christians Under Covers: Evangelicals and Sexual Pleasure on the Internet” was released earlier this year and studies how modern Christians interpret and discuss the Bible’s views on sex. All of the sites Burke researched can be found online with a simple Google search, but she used pseudonyms such as “Lusty Christian Ladies” to guarantee the anonymity of the women she interviewed and surveyed. “It can be hard doing research online instead of face-to-face,” Burke said. “I actually attended a live conference for one of the sites I researched to better connect with people. It proved I was a real, young woman who they could all relate to and share their stories with.” Sex started becoming a more acceptable topic of conversation in the 1970s with Tim and Beverly LaHaye’s “The Act of Marriage.” Through the years, some of the advice given in this book has changed as people continue to reinterpret the unwritten rules of the bible. At the time the LeHayes’ book was published, church officials couldn’t strictly ban oral sex, as the Bible doesn’t actually mention it, but they did recommend strongly against it. Today, she said there is no doubt that married, heterosexual Christians are allowed to partake in oral sex. As Burke found in her research, many modern Christians are embracing their sexuality. Sex is perfectly acceptable, and people are allowed to admit they enjoy it. The only rule that hasn’t changed is the only people allowed to have and enjoy sex are those in heterosexual, monogamous relationships. The Bible does not permit unmarried Christians to have sex, and some believe one should not even learn about sex before marriage. On one of the sites Burke researched, users could not access the discussion boards
without entering the date of their marriage. Similarly, some of the books she read had warnings to stop unmarried people from reading on a subject they had no need to learn about. “I’m so excited to have doctor Burke join us after a competitive nationwide search to find a new professor,” said Dr. Julia McQuillan, chair of the sociology department at UNL. “She’s exploring an area that none of our faculty have looked at, and we already have more demand from students to be in her course than we can fill.” This semester,Burke is teaching a special topics course on the sociology of sexuality, in which she will teach some of the content from her book. She said the most challenging part of sharing her research with students is getting past their initial surprise to hear she studies Christian sex. “Students would do much better on intro-level sociology exams if they thought about common sense, then realized sociology is the exact opposite,” Burke said. “It flips around what is already familiar. People have to confront what they assumed to be true and embrace that they can’t take that for granted.” She explained this further through the concept of jamais vu, the opposite of déjà vu. The French phrase means “never seen” and describes the feeling when a person recognizes a situation but it still feels completely unknown. Burke said she discovered a whole new world in the Christian sex discussion boards she researched, although in writing her book, she was left with more questions than answers. She intends to continue her research during her time at UNL and to focus more on religion and pornography. Jamais vu is a feeling Burke said she is quite familiar with now. Each time she picks up her research, she is overcome by new questions and filled with desire to find the answers.

LARSEN: Closed primaries are fairest to parties
Ben Larsen dn staff columnist
Editor’s Note: This is a part of the Daily Nebraskan’s point/counterpoint on primary elections. Currently our political discourse hinges around one word: fairness. Rightly or wrongly,
Americans across the political spectrum believe that our political system is rigged and in need of reforms, if not a complete overhaul. Stemming from that sense of inequity are calls for reforming presidential primaries and opening them up for all voters to participate in. Open primaries, where all voters can select whichever candidate they choose, may sound desirable on the surface, whereas closed primaries in which only registered party members can vote seem restrictive. However, the primaries for a party, Democratic or Republican, ought to be open only to the members of the respective party. Anything else would be unfair to those members and would create an opening for trolls who want to undermine the primary process and help their favored candidates or party. Closed primaries allow parties to develop their own identity, instead of being a mere
hodge-podge of competing ideas coming from members and non-members. It would make no sense for members of the Committee to Nuke Whales (completely fictional) to decide the leadership of Greenpeace. Such a move would undermine the purpose of Greenpeace. The organization would be divided between those who want to protect our environment at all cost and advocates for raining nuclear destruction on our marine friends. Open primaries have the same effect on our parties, albeit in a less ridiculous way. Non-members make decisions for an organization they’re not even marginally attached to. There’s no way to spin this; such a move wouldn’t be fair to the members of the party who actually believe in the fundamental tenets of their organization. The defenders of open primaries counter this fairness argument with another one. If the system was fair, they say, independents would
be allowed to vote in partisan primaries. Under a closed system, independents would be unable to vote in the primaries, which is true. However, this argument assumes that independents are pure nonpartisans, which is simply not the case. In reality, most independents are “closet partisans” who clearly favor a party but are unwilling to be a member of it. Most Americans (87 percent), including independents, favor one political party. In 2012, 88 percent of Democratic-leaning independents voted for President Obama, and 86 percent of Republican-leaning independents voted for Mitt Romney. With this said, deciding amongst the parties shouldn’t be too difficult of a choice for most independents to make. If closed primaries were to be implemented by every party nationwide, independents wishing to participate

SCHLEMMER: Open primaries are most inclusive
Halley Schlemmer dn staff columnist
Editor’s Note: This is a part of the Daily Nebraskan’s point/counterpoint on primary elections. Inclusion and fairness are essential to a vibrant democracy. Proper governance and representation is impossible when institutions exclude specific groups of people and stifle particular ideas. Today in Nebraska thousands of independent voters are denied full access to the political process. As many of you are surely aware, Nebraska elections are conducted in two stages: the primary and the general.
I want to talk to you about primaries, specifically open primaries in statewide elections. A top two open primary ensures inclusion and fairness, and should be utilized at all levels of state governance. Traditionally, an open primary allows a voter to choose which partisan primary he or she wants to participate in. This is different than a top-two open primary. Similar to California’s top two open primary, every registered voter would receive the same ballot, with the same list of candidates. In Nebraska, you are only allowed to fully participate if you are a member of one of the three major political parties (Republican, Democrat, or Libertarian) http://www.sos. ne.gov/elec/voter_info.html. If you’re registered as an independent, you are not allowed to vote in the primary election. This excludes a lot of people, especially millennials. If Nebraska was to adopt a top-two open primary, our elections would become much more inclusive because it would allow for complete participation of voters. In Nebraska, 20 percent of registered voters have chosen not to affiliate with a political party, and as such they are excluded from participating in
half of the election process. To put that in perspective, over 225,000 taxpaying, politically engaged Nebraskans are not allowed to participate simply because they have chosen to register as independent. By excluding 1 in 5 voters from the process, we are stifling our ability to create a responsible, vibrant democracy. In addition to inclusion, a top-two open primary will provide fairness to our election process by encouraging candidates to campaign on issues and mitigating crossover voters. If Nebraska adopted a top-two open primary, every registered voter would attend the same primary, with the same ballot, and the same list of candidates for all statewide elections – this includes United States House of Representatives and Senate. The voter is allowed to vote for whomever they want, regardless of their political affiliation or lack thereof. The two candidates who receive the most votes from the primary election proceed to the general, again, regardless of their party affiliation. This forces candidates to campaign on issues and ideas, because they can no longer rely on their party label to win the
election. Candidates must promote their individual credentials and values to recruit voters because they will be competing against candidates from the same party as their own. Furthermore, a top-two open primary would eliminate the incentive for crossover voting, adding an extra degree of fairness. Crossover voting, or party crashing, is when a member of one political party joins the opposing party during the primary in order to nominate a more easily beat candidate, or a candidate they find represents their own interests more than the interests of other party members. In this type of primary, the requirement that the two candidates with the most voters proceed to the general election incentives you to vote for your desired candidate. This is much greater than the incentive to block an undesirable candidate. A top-two open primary entirely mitigates crossover voting. Open primaries are able to create a more fair election process, and as such, allows for more representative and responsible leadership. I spent this past summer working to instill

What to watch for against Fresno State Ivey, Josh Banderas, Marcus Newby, Chris Weber and Dedrick Young. Each of these guys can play, and if they can optimize the rotation, Nebraska’s defense could surprise a few outsiders this year. Rose-Ivey’s just a guy you hope stays healthy. Banderas (also, when healthy) has always been solid. Weber’s a feel-good story who made the most of his unexpected use in 2015. Newby’s another guy with some valuable experience. And Young can build on an eye-opening freshman campaign. With these five in constant rotation, linebacker will be the least of Nebraska’s worries in 2016 -- and we’ll get a good look at that rotation Saturday night.
The mysterious Bulldogs
file photo Cornhusker fans cheer during the team’s 2014 game against Fresno State. Michael Dixon dn senior writer
Congratulations, everyone. You made it. You withstood months without meaningful football, and now here you are, consuming any and every piece of Nebraska football news you can ahead of the season opener Saturday night. Nobody has a crystal ball. Nobody knows what we’ll see against Fresno State or how those three-and-a-half hours will unfold. But we can help you look out for a few things, regardless of where you’re watching. So, without further ado, here’s the first edition of What To Watch For in 2016.
Hybrid pro-style offense Usually, the first game of the year won’t tell you much when you play a team like Fresno State. You either roll to a 35-point win or you struggle and everyone’s needlessly questioning whether or not your season’s already over.
But this weekend might be a little bit different. Tommy Armstrong, based simply on durability and reliability, will likely finish his career as one of Nebraska’s all-time great quarterbacks. He’s a few games away from the alltime passing yards and touchdowns record, and will rank inside the program’s top-five of every worthwhile category before his time is finished. Yet, there’s still plenty of questions surrounding the fifth-year senior approaching the start of the year. Armstrong’s always struggled with bouts of inconsistency and trying-too-hard-to-dotoo-much syndrome, but in his final year, and second with coach Mike Riley, he’s surrounded with perhaps one of the country’s best receiving corps. If Armstrong can push his completion percentage closer to 60 percent and those around him stay healthy, the aerial threat could be lethal.
Our first look at Armstrong and Co. comes Saturday, and it probably won’t get any easier than a struggling Mountain West program stuck in limbo.
Linebacker rotation As someone who didn’t grow up in Nebraska, the awarding of the Blackshirts has always struck me as a tad curious. The guys starting know they’re starting, yet, the symbolic Blackshirt seems to turn a trivial preseason moment into a monumental one. But even I understood the significance of five NU linebackers earning their respective Blackshirts yesterday afternoon. This group is loaded with both talent and leadership. Nebraska’s linebacker corps struggled with both consistency and injuries in 2015, and having that sort of confidence leading up to opening week could do wonders for the opener and beyond. What’s more interesting is how the coaches will rotate those five players: Michael Rose-
A good friend of mine texted me this week, “I’ve read so much on Fresno that I’m sold on the Bulldogs.” Two things to address here. First, the season just needs to start and second, there’s enough we don’t know about Fresno State that when you think about it over and over, perhaps the Bulldogs really aren’t all that bad. Naturally, when you have to fill in the blanks, you assume the best possible circumstance. For instance, with the hiring of Eric Kiesau, the mastermind behind Alabama’s national title-winning offense in 2015 as offensive coordinator, one assumes Kiesau’s transition will be seamless and Fresno State’s offense will be especially difficult to handle. Or take starting quarterback Chason Virgil, a sophomore who played in only three games and threw just nine passes in 2015. Defensive coordinator Mark Banker is marginally concerned with Virgil, knowing his raw play-making ability, and if Virgil made a jump from last year to now, he surely has the ability to exploit an NU defense still searching its identity. Needless to say, Fresno’s a bit of a wild card after a brutal 3-9 run in 2015. If the changes made work out, the Bulldogs might be a tough bunch to play. If the changes backfire, they might be one of the worst teams in college football. But regardless of the uncertainty, if I’m a betting man, I’d pick Nebraska to roll this weekend.

Newby headlines players to watch in season opener Brett Nierengarten senior sports editor
In any game there’s going to be players to watch and players who are going to impact the game. While no one knows what will happen between the lines, there’s guys who are more likely to influence the game than others.
Chason Virgil, Fresno State quarterback Virgil is a huge mystery, but if Fresno State is going to win, it’s going to be behind the arms and legs of the redshirt freshman quarterback. Here’s what we know about Virgil: He appeared in three games before missing the rest of the season to injury as a true freshman in 2015. In those three games, he started one and threw for a total of 298 yards and three scores. We also know Virgil is talented. He was a three-star recruit out of high school and originally committed to Mississippi State. In his final high school game, Virgil threw for 404 yards and six touchdowns. What we don’t know is how Virgil will come back from injury. As an 18-year-old he
broke his clavicle in the first month of game action at the Division I level, that’s a lot to come back from. It’s especially hard for to come back from an injury when there’s 90,000 people in Memorial Stadium. Another unknown is how Virgil will fit into Eric Kiesau’s system. Kiesau was an offensive analyst at Alabama a season ago and lead a high-powered Washington offense prior to that. The offense is expected to be tricky and fast-paced, and Virgil is the key to making that offense go.
Marcus Newby, Nebraska outside linebacker Newby is the most important Nebraska player in this game. Coach Mike Riley said he expects an up-tempo, shotgun offense from what he saw on film from Kiesau’s two previous stints. Play against a fast-paced attack, the versatility of Newby will be important. He’s explosive off the edge on the pass rush, has the strength to stop the run and he was one of Nebraska’s top three fitness performers in the offseason.

STOVER: Make DJ Kool Nebraska’s ‘Jump Around’
David Stover assistant sports editor
The Nebraska athletic department has struggled to keep students in the stands, and as Saturday approaches, student season tickets remain on sale. It’s no surprise to me that the student tickets have not sold out, after routinely seeing the southeast part of the stadium less populated than previous years, especially after the first half. According to Inside Hire ED, Nebraska approved a $12.5 million project in 2014 to include a better sound system and Wi-Fi in Memorial Stadium. Nebraska even lowered its student season ticket prices from $189 to $166.
This problem not only exists in Nebraska. Schools such as Michigan, Michigan State and Georgia have struggled with student spectator retention. They’ve offered seat upgrades, better Wi-Fi and even lowered ticket prices. Nebraska is known for its tradition — the tunnel walk, hearing “Can You Feel It” before kickoffs, releasing balloons after touchdowns and hearing the band play “Dear Old Nebraska U.” It’s phenomenal from start to finish, and I would recommend that any college football fan experience it. However, a little over a year ago, Wisconsin running back Corey Clement made a rude remark regarding Nebraska’s outdated traditions versus Wisconsin’s youthful traditions. “It’s like, you’ve got an iPhone. Then you got a flip phone,” Clement said. “You see all these great features the iPhone can do, and then you look at the flip phone, which phone are you going to go with? I’m going with the iPhone. That’s how I compare Wisconsin to Nebraska. Nebraska is a flip phone, and Wisconsin is an iPhone.” Since joining the Big Ten in 2011, Nebraska has gone 1-4 against the Badgers and suffered embarrassment in almost all those match-ups.
Wisconsin athletic director and former Nebraska football player Barry Alvarez is emulating what coach Tom Osborne did. Alvarez made Wisconsin football relevant in the ‘90s after the program’s long stretch of irrelevance. In 1992, the hip hop group House of Pain released “Jump Around,” which became a family-friendly stadium-shaker and later transitioned into the song played before the beginning of the fourth quarter at Wisconsin games. It engaged both UW students and fans, and remains one of the best traditions in college football. Last weekend, the Huskers hosted the Boneyard Bash. Freshmen students walked on the football turf, watched an open football practice and at the conclusion of it, hip-hop artist DJ Kool performed “Let Me Clear My Throat.” While I’m aware that most of the older generation of Nebraska fans doesn’t care for “Hip-Hop Hogwash,” DJ Kool’s song is an appropriate song that has the potential to make Baby Boomers and Millennials dance together. I’m not encouraging the university to change the traditions it already has in place;
I’m encouraging the athletic department to blur the lines existing between previous traditions and potential new traditions. Play the song before the fourth quarter. It will keep students in the stands, and create another tradition that adds onto an already rich history. Why do I think it will work? It’s engaging and is played on the University of Nebraska campus a lot. Bands such as Cherub, Oketo and 311 are royalty in the state of Nebraska, but DJ Kool is the state’s adopted son in the eyes of Nebraska students. With big recruits coming this weekend, such as Donovan Peoples-Jones, Keyshawn Johnson Jr., Tristan Gebbia, Darnay Holmes and Foster Sarell among others, it could not only create a lasting impression on them, but on recruits around the country. The fans are what differentiate Nebraska from other programs. They are loyal; they are proud; they are passionate. Playing the song before the fourth quarter is a cheap answer to students leaving early. If you play it, they will stay. SPORTS@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

would need to join the party they lean towards. This is not to say that they would lose their political independence. Nobody would force them to pay dues or be active in their party, nor would anyone even know their affiliation. If you’re dissatisfied with the party you generally align with that’s fine, most Americans are , but if you’re wanting to change that party then it’s necessary to work inside of it. It’s not enough to simply say you’re fed up and drop off the political landscape. Be involved. Only then can the parties be changed to better suit the will of their voters. Thus far I have only mentioned the purest kind of open primary, in which each party has
its own separate nomination process but voters are free to choose which ballot they receive. However, the phrase “open primary” includes a wide spectrum of systems. This includes California’s “top-two” system in which all voters are given the same primary ballot, which lists the candidates and their party affiliation. The top two candidates, regardless of partisan bent, move on to the general election. All the other candidates are eliminated. This form of election is essentially painted another primary color without making any fundamental changes under the hood. As such, the issues related to these elections remain relevant. There would still be non-members with

the same sway as members deciding the electoral fate of a party they may disagree with. Additionally, in polarized states where it’s known that a Republican and Democrat will advance (which has even occurred in deep-blue California), or when one of the candidates are heavily favored to advance, the problem of malevolent crossover voters would remain. The issue of “party crashers” in open primaries mentioned above needs to be addressed. More formally known as crossover voters, these are members of a party that vote in the opposing party’s open primary in order to undermine them in the general election. An instance of this occurred in 1972 during the Democratic selection process in Michigan, where strongly pro-segregationist candidate George Wallace came in first place. It’s since been speculated that Wallace’s surprise victory in the Wolverine State was due to votes from Republicans with less-than-pure intentions. Seeing that Wallace would be a terrible choice for a presidential nominee, mischievous Republicans who had no need to vote in their own primary (President Richard Nixon was running unopposed) crossed over and voted for Wallace, knowing he would surely lose in November to Nixon. These sneaky, sleazy tactics are exactly

SCHLEMMER: FROM PAGE 11 open primaries in South Dakota, so I have heard the criticism. Opponents of open primaries say independents are being wishy-washy or indecisive, but that is not the concern here. Every Nebraskan, Republican, Democrat or Independent, deserves the freedom to vote for whichever candidate he or she likes best; that freedom should not hinge on membership within a private organization. Which, after all, is what a political party is. Political elections in the Nebraska are publicly funded through tax dollars, and are intended to allow every Nebraskan to put forth his or her opinion and choose representatives. Some people view primaries as an opportunity for political parties to put forward their nominee, but because our elections are
public, every tax paying Nebraskan should be allowed and encouraged to fully participate! Open primaries aren’t foreign to Nebraskans. Our state legislature has been elected through open primaries for more than 80 years. Through this process of inclusion and fairness we have achieved a highly representative legislature and some of the most competitive legislative elections in the country. But, that’s not enough. If we continue to exclude specific groups of people and particular ideas, we will never reach the vibrant democracy that all Nebraskans deserve.

what we should be trying to prevent, instead of unintentionally opening the system up to these tricks. Open primaries could, in fact, lead to greater polarization in our republic by allowing “party crashers” to purposefully nominate unelectable candidates on the fringes of both the left and right to national office. The last thing we need is the reincarnation of Wallace, but that could be exactly what we get if we move towards open primaries in all 50 states and such strategies are used by our political parties as another form of partisan warfare. In conclusion, what I’m proposing is fairly simple; Let party members decide the nominee of their party. It’s not ground breaking, but it would allow the parties the best opportunity to nominate someone who shares their beliefs and would work to lessen the possibility of political sabotage. If fairness is what we seek, then closed primaries are the way to go about achieving it.
Camilli is the unquestioned leader of the FSU defense. The senior is a team captain and is on the preseason watch list for the Butkus Award, given to the best linebacker in the country. The California native provides a sense of
stability in Fresno State’s transition on the defensive side of the ball (the Bulldogs also have a new defensive coordinator.) Camilli has played in 25 of the Bulldogs’ last 26 games and started 11 in a 2015 campaign in which he had 76 tackles and two interceptions. Camilli is going to have to have a big game and cause a little ruckus if the Bulldogs want to have any chance of slowing a Nebraska offense that many expect to score a lot of points on Saturday, and throughout the season.
