CRIME IN THE

CAPITAL

CITY ANNIE ALBIN DN Get your Converse on and get ready to dance. The Summer Set will be performing in the Union Ballroom on Sept. 10, sponsored by the

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Resident Hall Association. Part of the sponsorship also comes from UNL Miracle Network Dance Marathon, a student organization on campus. Dance Marathon and the RHA have been spreading the word on campus about the con-

cert through fliers and Facebook posts. “Getting the word out about The Summer Set has been really exciting. We knew we had to get the word out right away because the event is so early in the year,” said Sydney Rotthaus, marketing exec and external vice president of Dance Marathon.

While raising awareness and donations for a good cause, Dance Marathon and the RHA are also giving students the opportunity to see a band that’s on the rise.

EDITORIAL

Good Samaritan Law step in right direction Reporting tragedy is, by a wide margin, our least favorite thing to do. There’s a common misconception that newspapers love when everything goes wrong. That we relish reporting on campus crime and on awful things in the community. That notion couldn’t be further from the truth. We’re two weeks into the school year and have yet to report on a death or a tragic event involving a student, which we’re thankful for. We’re even more thankful that University of Nebraska-Lincoln students will now be protected by the Good Samaritan law, which protects intoxicated minors from a minor in possession charge if they have to call authorities to help a friend who has drank too much and needs medical attention.

Thanks to the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska and Nebraska Sen. Adam Morfeld, the Good Samaritan bill (LB 439) has been passed and put into effect. We couldn’t be happier about it. The step is an essential approach to keeping students safe and will certainly help save lives in the future. The law should be adopted on college campuses around the country. It’s obvious that an MIP is worth saving a life, but the risk of an MIP shouldn’t even be an option in the first place. These new measures should drastically reduce the chance of an alcohol-related student death and the number of times we will have to write the words, “a UNL student was found dead,” like we did almost exactly one year ago.

This week marks one year since the death of Clayton Real. Real passed away last September after the freshman and Farmhouse member became too intoxicated at a party the first week of the school year. As a newspaper, we debated how we should approach the subject of Real’s death one year later. Should we do an expose of the last year at Farmhouse? Should we even write about it at all? Ultimately, we reached out to Farmhouse to ask if they wanted to write a guest column about the past year. They politely declined, which we completely understood. What we decided was this: We should focus on what measures have been taken to ensure that what happened to Real won’t ever happen again. The Good Samaritan law,

The art of healing, helping others to heal LAUREN BROWN-HULME DN

Maggie Bertsche said she often imagines the mind, body and spirit as having a conference call. “You’re holding the meeting,” Bertsche tells her clients who visit her at her massage and bodywork practice. “What are you having the meeting about, and how do you want the conversation to look?” Bertsche, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln alumna, has owned her own space at the Center for Well-Being, located at 4630 Antelope Creek Road, Lincoln, since last October. Many of her clients suffer from the effects of post-trauma, anxiety and addiction recovery, and she helps them to manage tension, pain or stress through a blend of Western and Eastern massage and bodywork techniques. Bodywork referred to the correction of issues in a client’s body structure in order to improve physical health as well as the

client’s mental outlook. Bertsche described a bodywork session as a time for clients to meditate and listen to what their bodies are telling them. She said the sessions are very client-led; she just gets to witness her clients’ liberation from the heaviness in their lives. “We all need help when we lose sight of who we are,” Bertsche said. “We call this shadow work — go into the places that scare you. The places that you don’t want to see in yourself. Your history, your family. While you’re there sometimes you can decide who you really are. You need to bring friends; you need to carry as much light into those places as possible so you don’t forget who you are. That’s the healing arts.” When Bertsche attended UNL, she studied psychology and art history with the intent of working as an art therapist after graduation. She said at the time it was the only healing art she was familiar with. That was until she picked up “Healing and the Mind” by Bill Moyers. She said the doctors in the book, with all of their unique healing

methods, were like artists to her. It was then that Bertsche said she developed a passion for the psychology of healing. But before Bertsche could begin to study how to help others, she had to recover from her own illness she developed in her senior year at UNL. “When I got sick, it traumatized me,” Bertsche said. “I was really trying to get well. I went from being very confident and capable to really being humbled and learning that actually I was very limited.” She planned to go through a Ph.D. program to become a therapist after graduation, but she needed time to reorient herself and focus on her health. Bertsche moved to Washington D.C., a place where she said she thought she could start over. While living and working there, a friend of Bertsche’s did bodywork on her. “It brought me back to life,” Bertsche said. “I will never forget the session where I felt safe again, where my body felt like a safe place and my spirit came back. I started living again.”

Bertsche said she finally gave herself permission to pursue what she was truly passionate about. She moved to Boulder, Colorado, to attend Boulder College of Massage Therapy. In Boulder, she couldn’t afford a massage table, so she completed her 200 clinical hours on her kitchen table in her apartment. She’d had many passions and hobbies throughout her life, but massage therapy was the one that stuck. “My job is I get to go into people’s sacred and private spaces, the most intimate parts of them...and they let me share that with them,” Bertsche said. “What that does for me in return is indescribable...talk about heart expansion. It gives me so much relief in the human spirit and the resilience of it. To get to hear those stories of overcoming and what that looks like, how hard it is, how courageous you have to be to heal.” Bertsche said she never thought she would come back to Lincoln, but she pre-

Vinyl disc jockey slows it down DJ Rik Minnick started Old Pub Soul Club to expose Lincoln residents to new old music. ANNIE HIMES DN In a time when new music is often discovered for listeners rather than by them thanks to apps such as Spotify and YouTube, Rik Minnick stands out as an anachronism. He is a vinyl disc jockey and record collector, who two years ago began a soul night at The Old Pub in downtown Lincoln. The Old Pub Soul Club posters describe the event, happening on the last Saturday night of every month, as “live weirdos playing super fresh ‘45s that will burn up your eyes like marshmallows,” bringing you “the real deal holyfield soul from the street.” Minnick is one of those “live weirdos,” a part of a local DJ crew called “The Gettin’ Hipper Fun Bunch.” His DJ name is Ol’ Moaner, and he works with four others: Bookworm the Bumba Clot (Julian Hall), Rad Dude (Cheyenne Flotree), Neon Leon (Michael Nielson) and DJ Relic (Faruq Foster). However, an original member who is no longer with the Fun Bunch, Jacob Smith, inspired Minnick’s vision for The Old Pub Soul Club. “A friend of mine, who was actually one of the guys I started collecting records with, Jacob Smith, moved to Lawrence, Kansas, and he started a really cool soul night called Gold Label Soul down there in about 2005 at a place called The Tap Room,” Minnick said. “So, before I even had my thing going here, I had gone and helped him down there, and that was always the idea I wanted to replicate. It was a cool place. It was small and sexy.” The purpose of Soul Club is to expose people to new old music. The songs that came out years ago but never made it big and have, in some cases, eluded the digital age. “At a place like the Old Pub Soul Club, we are trying to just throw all these obscurities at you,” Minnick said. “We’re trying to give people stuff that they’re not as familiar with. Open them up to new experiences.” Soul Club’s crowd is diverse in age and experience. Of late, the event has attracted younger people in addition to its seasoned attendees. Minnick said over time, “the kids [at Soul Club] seem to keep getting younger.” A change in part due to the increasing popularity of Soul Club among University of Nebraska - Lincoln students and other young Lincolnites. Jose Lemus, a senior economics and

Rik Minnick is a disc jockey in Lincoln, Nebraska, performing regularly at the Old Pub Soul Club. Minnick also collects records that he plays on an old baby blue record player. global studies major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said “the concept of the club is brilliant and highly in demand for people who love to dance. It provides a carefree alternative to the pop music driven atmosphere of other downtown bars.” Minnick said he’s been “amazed every month since it started. It’s been a good turnout and a lot of fun.” Soul Club officially began in summer 2013, but Minnick’s road to becoming a soul DJ started much earlier. He said he attributes the beginning of his musical education to his older sister, Traci. “I started paying attention to what she was listening to,” Minnick said. “She was into, you know, ‘cool’ stuff that wasn’t on the radio.” Once he began college, Minnick’s taste in music continued to evolve. “I remember listening to Funkadelic’s music and thinking to myself, ‘if I were ever in a band, this is the kind of band I would want to be in,” Minnick said. “Although at that time, I had no idea about what soul music was.” Then in the early 2000s, Minnick joined

some friends on a KZUM radio program called “Star City Majestic.” At the time, he was interested in DJing hip hop music. “We would play songs that had been sampled in hip hop music, you know, the original sounds, and in a great deal of cases, these were soul songs.” Minnick said. “I had been a big fan of rap and hip hop, and it was just blowing my mind to find out that, sure, I knew sampling was a thing, and was already familiar with a few samples, but I didn’t realize that practically every rap song I knew was, instrument-wise, basically a resurrection of an old, widely-unknown song. No disrespect to rap producers though. There’s more to it than the samples, but I quickly gravitated more toward the fundamental sounds.” His experience at KZUM eventually lead him away from hip hop to soul music. “When I got into that radio show was when I switched gears into not so much of the technical hip hop DJing but more just collecting music to play for the masses.” Minnick said. Almost simultaneously, Minnick began collecting more records and explor-

ing DJing. His taste in music continued to change as Minnick experienced the challenges and quirks of record collecting and playing music for audiences. Initially Minnick limited his interests to soul music. “When I first started collecting records, I was just into collecting funk or things containing samples,” Minnick said. “But, gradually that expanded into all different kinds of soul music. Nowadays, I try to pick up a little bit, or a lot even, of everything. There’s too much great stuff out there, and everybody’s a soul DJ. I don’t want to limit myself to that.” This expansion continued to then incorporate all genres as Minnick found a limited number of soul records in Nebraska’s used records stores. Genre became less important as Minnick began to hunt for any and all old gems, remembering his own experience as a kid surrounded by oldies music. “When I was a little guy, we used to have oldies radio stations that would play ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s music,” Minnick said.

‘Mistress America’ opens at the Ross The movie tells the story of two sisters finding their way in Big Apple.

GABRIELLA PARSONS DN Tracy (Lola Kirke) is a pretentious first-year college student in New York City with high hopes for her life in the big city.

But after the campus literary society rejects her, and the boy she admires falls for someone else, Tracy doesn’t feel fit for the glamorous life that she expected. That is until she is introduced to her waycooler soon-to-be stepsister, Brooke. Brooke (Greta Gerwig) is living the dream. She’s a part-time interior decorator, part-time creative businesswoman and fulltime know-it-all. When Brooke introduces her “baby sis” to the Upper East Side, it doesn’t take long for Brooke to become Tracy’s new idol. Nightclubs, music bars and restaurants far too expensive for a broke college student; Brooke seems to have it all together. The parallelisms between Gerwig (co-

writer) and Kirke’s characters are pleasantly, and comically displayed as the film goes on. We discover that while both of these women are smart and put-together, they also fall apart and have struggles of their own. Tracy is searching for her identity on campus and within the city, and Brooke is chasing a dream that will never come true. They inspire each other, as real sisters would. But perhaps, Tracy becomes too inspired by Brooke when she turns her into a character in the story she resubmits to the literary society, titled “Mistress America.” Things take a turn when Brooke discovers Tracy’s betrayal and accuses her of “stealing her life.”

These newfound sisters and friends must battle it out in order to let go of the past and find themselves. In “Mistress America,” Tracy and Brooke are given a lesson on the road to success, which they discover is paved with failures and faceplants. Director Noah Baumbach takes us on quite the ride through the frivolous lives of his characters Brooke and Tracy. To the girls’ surprise, their hardships and differences end up leading them to a commonplace, and a happy ending. ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

‘Thunderbitch. Rock’n’roll. The end.’ STAFF DN

Though possibly fleeting and mysterious, one thing is certain: Thunderbitch has arrived. Thunderbitch is the project from Brittany Howard, the frontwoman for Alabama Shakes, and a group of musicians from various Nashville, Tennessee, bands. The album is currently streaming free at Thundabetch.com, which also lists the members of the group under pseudonyms. The album does less with experimentation; however, and more straightforward, guitarheavy rock ‘n roll. The band says it best on their bio, which reads “Thunderbitch. Rock’n’roll. The end.” Howard is electric as she drives forward the LP. Her signature soulful voice is still on display throughout the album, though with even less restrain than previously heard. Thunderbitch has the musician howling and hollering gravely hooks alongside electric guitar licks. Though rock, the guitar is never overly heavy or flashy on Thunderbitch. Both “I Just Wanna Rock n Roll,” “Eastside Party” have surfer-inspired guitar that brings levity to Howard’s powerhouse vocals and heavy drums. The album is less personal and more set on delivering rock in a raw form. Lyrics like “I just wanna rock, I just wanna roll,” on “I Don’t Care” drive home the message of the album. Even the titles of songs are blatantly obvious about delivering that fact (“I Just Wanna Rock n Roll,” “My Baby Is My Guitar”). Many songs are reminiscent of rock from the late ‘60s, ‘70s. Most songs on the album are short, some diving in and out of crashes of sound just under two minutes. Thunderbitch isn’t revolutionary. But damn, it is good. ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Live exhibit at Great Plains Art Museum Artist Gwen Westerman will create her latest exhibition in the lobby of the Great Plains Art Museum. MICHAELA LUCKEY DN From Sept. 1 through Saturday Sept. 5, textiles artist and poet Gwen Westerman will actively create her latest exhibition “We Are Star People: The Art and Poetry of Gwen Westerman,” in the lobby of the Great Plains Art Museum. Westerman will return Wednesday, Nov. 11 through Saturday, Nov. 14 to complete her piece. The exhibition focuses on Westerman crafting her quilt artwork while allowing visitors to watch and interact with the artist as a part of the Elizabeth Rubendall Artist in Residence program. “Oftentimes, there’s a disconnect between the process and the final piece,” said Melynda Seaton, curator for the Great Plains Art Museum. “By having the artist working in person, visitors can experience the process and the amount of work that goes into creating an artwork.” Westerman, an English professor at Minnesota State University, Mankato, has artwork in multiple collections such as the Red Cloud Heritage Center in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, and the Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul. With art often rooted in her Dakota heritage, Westerman has written poetry combined of both English and Dakota such as “Follow the Blackbirds” while also depicting Dakota history and lore in her quilts. “Many of the pieces tell Dakota history and culture through story,” Westerman said. “For example, ‘We Are Here’ and the poem ‘38’ tells the story of the 38 Dakota men who were hanged on Dec. 26, 1862 in Minnesota after the U.S. – Dakota War.” A member of the Sisseton Wahpeton Da-

BERTSCHE: FROM 4 dicted her private practice would have more success in Nebraska. She has regular clients such as Christine Weeks, a marathon runner, small business owner and mother of four, who said Bertsche helps her to get mentally and physically stronger. Weeks has had experiences with other therapists, but she said she has connected with Bertsche best. “I think [Bertsche] has this understanding of people,” Weeks said. “Paired with her education and expertise of the body I really think that’s the difference [in her practice]. When you go to someone who you know cares about you, that’s the first step in letting your guard down. When you do that, your body can relax and you can get to some actual work versus just going somewhere and getting a 60-minute massage.” Weeks said Bertsche has helped her to relieve soreness from running and has prevented any future injuries for Weeks. She said Bertsche also “creates a space” for Weeks to heal mentally and spiritually as well. “I’d come off of some fragile years spiritually when I first met [Bertsche],” Weeks said. “She accepts people and loves people, and I think that’s the first step in healing... becoming whole again, becoming who you’re meant to be. I felt that 100 percent

with Maggie; she saw me, she knew me, she believed in me.” Bertsche said she realizes bodywork as a form of therapy isn’t for everyone, but for the people that it has worked for, it’s transformative. “Each therapist and their skill set is a different song,” Bertsche said. “If you’re feeling a certain way, you’ll listen to certain music. People are like that with therapists. For some people it’s a flat note, but for some it’s ‘Oh my gosh, I never knew this world existed.’” Bertsche said, as a therapist, you can’t take clients anywhere you haven’t been yourself. She said she believes in what she does because bodywork transformed her own life. Her therapy is not about a treatment formula, she said. It’s about genuinely loving others and teaching them how to love themselves. “I know what it feels like to be a prisoner in your own body and to your own thoughts,” Bertsche said. “There’s nothing like being liberated. There’s nothing like experiencing health. To be free of heavy things. And there’s nothing like getting to be that person that witnesses the transformation.” ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

“Nowadays those are gone, and it’s like nobody growing up knows any of that stuff, which is, in my mind, way better than what they’re putting on the radio these days. Although, I still love listening to the Top 40 radio, a love-hate relationship, I guess.” Minnick’s reasoning for his commitment to records is twofold. For a DJ of vintage soul music, records are part of an authentic experience. “A person who would DJ vintage soul music and not play records would basically be a poser,” Minnick said. His second reason is simple: the hunt. “It’s the hunt. It’s about what’s there,” Minnick said. “Some guy maybe had to sell his house and doesn’t have a place to keep his records anymore that he’d been collecting for 50 years. It’s like getting to the record store the day all his stuff shows up. So that’s what you’re going to find. You’re at the mercy of this continuum of give-and-take that you don’t really get when you’re searching for new music.” Hunting for records also involves the satisfaction of pure discovery, finding music that wasn’t determined by an algorithm assessing the last 20 songs listened to on a Spotify account. Although there are people who transform old analog tracks to digital versions for mass consumption, Minnick said he prefers to do the tedious work of record hunting himself. “I’d rather discover it on my own,” Minnick said. “The old-fashioned way that these people putting out ‘rare soul’ compilations found the music themselves, by the dumb luck of pulling from a moldy old box a thing you’ve never heard of sandwiched between a crusty Barry Manilow and an Abba. Of course, most of what I find isn’t all that monumental, but for me it’s more fun and more authentic that way no matter what I find.” When Minnick combs through piles of vinyl at used record stores, he is methodical in his strategies. “I go shopping with my own portable record player, so I can listen to stuff before I buy it,” Minnick said. “When I buy stuff that looks like it’s going to be cool, it’s normally not; so, I end up spending a lot of money on stuff that’s not all that great. There’s a lot to be said for not doing it that way, like by learning the names of good producers and arrangers whose names will be written in the record’s credits. But for me it’s easier to just give them a listen. I uncover more by giving it a listen.” Minnick’s methods have proven effective. “I’m pretty impressed with the stuff that I find that in most cases, people aren’t going to just stumble across,” Minnick said. “I’m pulling out things that may never really see the light of day. Not without your help.” Minnick’s discoveries are not meant solely for him. He hunts for these records so he can share his finds with others. “[DJing] is kind of an outlet,” Minnick said. “I should want to collect records just for the heck of it, but it kind of helps me to still want to continue collecting records

because I have an outlet to play them for people. In a way, that is what I spend a lot of my free time doing. Not just in the collection of them, but absorbing them, listening to them.” Minnick’s DJing style is based in a philosophy he learned in a video. His theory involves slowly increasing the speed of songs from slow to fast throughout a show. “There’s not a technique [to my DJing] so much as a philosophy that I saw on this video a famous hip-hop DJ put out a long, long time ago,” Minnick said. “A philosophy of gradually progressing through beats per minute. Like the speed of the songs you’re playing.” Minnick looks to his audience for cues as to what to play and when. He incorporates the audience into his DJing by encouraging them to join in the music with instruments he provides. “I had this notion a while back to play tambourine along with the music I’m playing,” Minnick said, “which has kind of grown into bringing a whole bag of tambourines and maracas that not only I can play, but people who are enjoying the show can shake themselves.” Minnick takes obscure, older music and creates a community around it, encouraging his listeners to open their minds and try something different. Minnick is grateful both to his audience and to his DJ crew. “Thanks for enjoying,” he says. ARTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Voters need full focus on issues Miranda Cannon

W

hat’s the matter with millennials? That’s been a constant question in the media, with answers ranging from our love of selfie sticks to how we added $1 billion to the national student loan debt (because somehow, that’s our fault). These “reasons” aren’t what’s wrong with millennials. What’s wrong with us is more closely linked to what’s wrong with Kansas. In Thomas Frank’s 2004 book, “What’s the Matter with Kansas?,” he shows that Kansas citizens blindly and passionately vote conservatively, even though voting Republican is proven to not benefit them. What’s wrong with millennials is similar to what’s wrong with Kansas: we don’t know how to vote, or at least on the issues that matter. I mean, sure, we know how to do the physical act of voting: go to your precinct, tell them your name and fill out the ballot. We all know how to do that. But what terrifies me is that millennials aren’t voting effectively; their hearts are in the right place, but at the end of the day, they aren’t voting for the reasons that matter. One of the biggest reasons that millennials vote is also one of the least important things to base your vote on in a national

Millennials think Bernie Sanders is an answer to a problem they don’t understand, or that voting for someone based on their rad views for marijuana legalization is the right thing to do. But that’s what’s wrong with us.” election: social issues. I’m not saying social issues aren’t important; that’s ridiculous. I am incredibly passionate about social issues, such as my right to choose and marriage equality, and this isn’t some post-modernist notion that we’re “beyond” talking about them. However, when looking at the post of the presidency, it’s a lot more important to be asking about other policy issues. A lot of my peers are supporters of Bernie Sanders, and that’s awesome. I’m glad that they’re interested in politics and want to have their voices heard in 2016. When I ask them about their support for him, though, all of the answers have related to social issues – he’s a huge supporter of equality, he wants free college (me too, Bernie, me too), etc. These are great ideas, and in an ideal world I wish that is all we needed to base our vote off of. It’s not surprising to me that these are the reasons my peers list for why someone does or doesn’t have their vote. According to a 2014 Pew Research study , while about 50 percent of millennials identify as independent or nonaffiliated, 60 percent of them voted democratic in the 2012 election, and two of their top reasons were marriage equality and climate change. But that’s precisely the problem. Obviously, marriage equality and recognizing climate change as real are important; no one is disputing that. But in a national election, foreign and economic policies should be more of a driving force. Why is it that when I ask my peers about

their support for Bernie Sanders, they don’t know or care about what his views are for foreign policies? He’s been inconsistent when voting for wars and has been a staunch supporter of the U.S. bombing campaign against ISIS, views the left often find troubling. This lack of knowledge obviously isn’t just limited to Bernie Sanders. When electing a leader of this country, it’s important to look at how they’ll help build the economy, lead us on the national stage and help us grow as a nation. Social issues undoubtedly do help us flourish, but what about the other 90 percent of governing? What about education or immigration reform? Some people call those social issues as well, but education and immigration reform really impact the day-to-day of how the country operates as a whole. Social issues like marriage equality are a good place to start, if you find someone that meshes well with what you want domestically, then hopefully that means you mesh well in other areas as well. But that shouldn’t be what we base our votes off of entirely. The fault isn’t entirely with millennials. We’re young, passionate about these ideas, and probably know more about how to love our neighbor than how to refinance our house or how exactly corporate tax breaks affect our daily lives. It’s easy to get caught up in hating a candidate because they say problematic things about women, and it’s entirely valid to not like a candidate because of that. But, the unfortunate problem is that

millennials only look at those sort of policies – they don’t research beyond the “fun” stuff to talk about. We need to change that. Maybe somehow, we can make it fun to talk about comprehensive immigration reform, or we can negotiate a mock arms deal with Israel. Things like this do exist, but usually just in the senior year of high school. The conversation needs to go beyond a high school requirement. It needs to gain traction on the college level. When I went to Big Red Welcome, I found out we had a Mock U.N, team. I’m a political science major, and I had absolutely no idea that existed. If the University of Nebraska-Lincoln made more of an effort to advertise these activities or made an entry level political science class a requirement, maybe that would help people find these resources. Until then though, we have to rely on ourselves to learn about the way this country works, and we need to pick up the pace. Millennials think Bernie Sanders is an answer to a problem they don’t understand, or that voting for someone based on their rad views for marijuana legalization is the right thing to do. But that’s what’s wrong with us. In 2016, I hope I can be proved wrong, because I think we’re better than Kansas. MIRANDA CANNON IS A JUNIOR ENGLISH AND POLITICAL SCIENCE MAJOR.

Throwback Thursday: Old Glory wasteful

All lives matter, keep protests peaceful

T

ALY FRAME | DN

The university has recently acquired the Old Glory sculpture (a combination of Ibeams and rivets) at a cost of $450,000. Any sane, rational human being realizes that this sculpture is not worth $450,000. The money could have been used for many better things. For instance, 90 $5,000 grants could have been given to students in financial difficulty, or $5,000 raises could have been given to 90 faculty members. At this university, the financial need of students and faculty should come before the need to beautify the campus. This campus has gotten along fine without the sculpture in the past and could continue to get along without it in the future. In wake of the recent financial trouble

experienced by this university, I find such wasteful spending in poor taste. Whether money spent at the university is obtained from student fees or donations, it should be spent on what is NEEDED here on campus. There’s no justifiable reason for spending such a large sum of money for one sculpture. Wasteful spending similar to this is the reason that our country has such a large national debt. I strongly urge university officials to consider the needs of the students and faculty in future financial matters.

STOKELY: FROM 12 last month alone, eight law enforcement officers have been shot and killed . We cannot move forward without remembering that. Oswald Chambers, a lecturer who’s had a lot of influence on my life lately, wrote, “Never look for justice in this world, but never cease to give it.” The world isn’t fair. Society isn’t fair. Those horrible chants in St. Paul weren’t fair, and the lack of coverage in Birmingham wasn’t fair. But we all can choose to deal with injustices fairly, even gracefully. We cannot fight injustice by being unjust in turn. We cannot threaten a man’s life and

call it vengeance for the lives he has threatened. We can only love our neighbors as ourselves, and hope that love will water a seed of change.
