BROYHILL FOUNTAIN

The iconic fountain, located on the plaza outside of UNL’s City Campus Union was built in 1999 and replaced the original Broyhill Fountain that was there from 1970 to 1996. It was constructed as a place for students and the community to congregate, and it still serves this purpose today. Named after Lynn Dianne Broyhill – a student who died in 1966 – the fountain’s jets spray water into the air and above its large rocks. It is illuminated at night and during the inaugural Red Memorial service in April 2015, it was lit red in memory of nine university students and faculty who had died during the previous year.

UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE

Aside from textbooks, the bookstore in the Nebraska Union basement offers school supplies, Husker apparel, gifts and a wide selection of food options in the connected market – Easy Mac, ramen and other snacks are good options to stock up on in your dorm room for late night hunger. The bookstore is also home to a post office.

NEBRASKA UNION

The Nebraska Union wears a lot of hats for University of Nebraska-Lincoln students. It’s a study spot, a site for shopping, a place to grab a bite to eat or a cup of coffee. During the semester, the building – located at 1400 R St. – is open until midnight throughout the week.

FOOD COURT The newest addition to the Nebraska Union food court, Valentino’s, replaced Subway Pizza Express and Auntie Anne’s Pretzels after the two vendors closed at the end of the fall 2015 semester. Valentino’s “Express Lunch” menu features pizza slices, salads and pasta dishes. Not in the mood for pizza? Try Imperial Palace’s Asian fare, a Subway sandwich or the ever-classic Nebraska staple: Runza.

OTHER SERVICES The first floor of the Nebraska Union houses a study area affectionately known as “The Crib,” as well as the offices of the University Program Council and UNL’s student governing body, the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska. A bank, several meeting rooms and a coffeeshop also find their home on the first floor. Head to the second and third floors of the Nebraska Union for an array of sometimes overlooked services, including the Student Money Management Center, Student Legal Services, the LGBTQA+ Resource Center and the Women’s Center, all of which are free to students. Venture to the basement and you’ll find the Military and Veterans Success Center, opened in September 2015, and the editorial and advertising offices of The Daily Nebraskan.

HINSDALE URINALS

Perhaps one of the most obscure campus landmarks, it’s worth the walk to Architecture Hall to see a pair of the largest – and oldest – urinals west of the Mississippi River. You’ll know it’ when you see it – a quote from Hamlet is engraved on its door. Patented in 1910, Arch Hall’s Hinsdale competes with one other Hinsdale in the nation, located in the Old Town Bar in Manhattan, New York.

MEMORIAL STADIUM

Arguably the most recognizable structure at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, few buildings have undergone more additions and changes than Memorial Stadium. Built in 1923 on the site of the earlier Nebraska Field, the original Memorial Stadium cost $450,000 to construct. A grassroots drive by the Nebraska Alumni Association for $430,000 was undertaken and reached and groundbreaking ceremonies took place in the rain on April 26, 1923. The stadium was completed in a few more than 90 working days, and by October, the 31,000-seat stadium was ready for its first game, played against Oklahoma. Nebraska won 24-0. The stadium was dedicated as Memorial Stadium on Oct. 20, 1920, in honor of all Nebraskans who served in the wars. The stadium site consisted of only the east and west stands for more than 20 years until the 1940s, when the Field House was completed. A series of expansions that began in the 1960s increased the stadium’s capacity to more than 70,000. In 2006, an expansion that included the Osborne Athletic Complex was completed, increasing the stadium’s capacity to more than 81,000. The latest $63.5 million expansion in 2013 added 6,000 new seats and 38 suites, increased the height of the East Stadium to that of the West Stadium (165 feet) – which gave the stadium a complete horseshoe look – and added new concessions and bathrooms. Each corner of the stadium is inscribed with words written by University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor of philosophy Hartley Burr Alexander.

THE IRON GATES

Northeast of the university’s historic Memorial Stadium stand old iron gates that were the entrance to campus from 1892 to 1922. Stories suggest the fence was originally constructed to keep cows from coming onto the land. More likely, the fence was added to define the campus and set it apart from downtown Lincoln and nearby neighborhoods. The University soon outgrew its fence, and after a serious fire occurred on campus and fire engines were not able to pass through the width of the old gates, the decision was made to remove the fence. The fence was dismantled in 1925 and was placed around Wyuka Cemetery, where it is still in use. The gates, however, settled in their current spot on campus near a row of freestanding columns.

KISSING COLUMNS

A gift to the University from the Burlington Northern Railroad, these 24 columns were originally meant to line the walkway from the Sheldon Art Gallery to Memorial Stadium in a part of an “avenue of a thousand columns,” but were placed outside the northeast corner of Memorial Stadium in 1930. Legend goes that if a girl graduates from the university without being kissed during her time here, a column will crumble.

DON L. LOVE MEMORIAL LIBRARY

In 1940, Don L. Love, a Lincoln banker, lawyer and two-time mayor, made a gift of $850,000 to be used for construction of a new library, because the old one was running out of space to hold its collections. Completed in 1943, the building was initially used as a living space for cadets in the Army Specialized Training program before being opened to students in 1945. At the time of its construction, it was the largest building on campus and was designed to house 800,000 items. By the 1960s, the collections within the library had once again outgrown their building. In 1972, an addition was constructed on the north side of the building. The main library on campus, Love Library now houses collections on social sciences and humanities, while each of the library’s branch locations – Architecture Library, C.Y. Thompson Library, Engineering Library, Geology Library, Math Library, Music Library and Schmid Law Library – hold their own specialized collections. In addition to a number of study spaces – including the new Adele Coryell Hall Learning Commons – Love Library also offers laptops and computers, multimedia equipment and software, printing services, locker rentals and gallery exhibits. The building at 318 R St. also houses the Writing Center and offices for the Explore Center and Education Abroad. Typically open until 1 a.m., the library’s hours may vary during the year, but the Adele Coryell Hall Learning Commons is always open to student with a valid NCard.

MUELLER TOWER

An 84-foot octagonal shaped tower sits between Bessey and Morrill halls. Gifted from Ralph Mueller – a 1898 UNL graduate – it was provided as the bell tower then-Chancellor Burnett had wished for, but couldn’t provide due to the Great Depression. Erected in the fall of 1949 during homecoming festivities, the tower ’s design was the result of a fierce competition between advanced-level architecture students at the university. George Kuska’s design ended up winning. Mueller was jokingly disappointed that no one designed the tower like an ear of corn, although Kuska did stay true to the university by adding a corn motif at the top of the tower. Originally intended to be keyboard-operated – using an amplifier to carry the sound up to 15 miles, a popular myth on campus is that one time – before the era of cellphones – someone got stuck in the bell tower and was discovered only after repeatedly playing “Help!” by The Beatles. The source of the tower ’s electronic bells, until recently, was a CD player that played a variety of music at 25 minutes past each hour. The system, which could only play one song on a preprogrammed routine that followed UNL’s Monday, Wednesday, Friday class schedule, was upgraded in fall 2015 after it unexpectedly shut down the previous spring. Along with a modern Schulmerich g5 Electronic Carillon, eight new speakers were installed inside the top of the tower. The new sound system, which can be controlled remotely by facilities management employees, allows for the use of 750 songs from the sound system’s library of 7,800 melodies as is now able to accommodate the Tuesday, Thursday class schedule. It also allows for a keyboard to be plugged directly into the sound system, so songs can play directly from the keyboard through the tower.

PERSHING RIFLES

General John J. Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Forces to Europe in World War I, was a UNL professor of military science between 1891 and 1895. Upon his arrival in Lincoln, Pershing found the morale of the Reserve Officers Training Corps at low ebb. To infuse life into the corps, Pershing built an elite drill team which eventually became known as the Society of Pershing Rifles. The organization served its purpose well, and from 1900 to 1911 it carried prestige not only in military circles but in the social life of the University as well. Many of its young officer graduates were on active duty in the Spanish-American War and in World War I. After Pershing was transferred to another post, interest in the Rifles waned and in 1917 it was disbanded. Interest returned in the 1920s, and in 1925 a chapter was installed at Ohio State University. Today Pershing Rifle Societies are found in more than 100 universities. Pershing was elected to the Nebraska Hall of Fame in 1964, and his bust placed in the Nebraska State Capitol in 1965.

South of 14th and Vine streets, there’s Morrill Hall, UNL’s own museum of natural history. Outside of the hall one will notice a very distinct mascot: Archie, the giant bronze mammoth statue that greets visitors as they walk toward the steps. It’s known to be good luck if a student highfives Archie’s raised foot. He’s named after the Imperial Mammoth’s scientific name of Archidiskidon imperator maibeni and is a unique character on UNL’s campus.

BEHIND THE DOORS OF LINCOLN’S THIRD-OLDEST BUILDING ABBY KORINEK DN To many passing by, the house at 702 N. 16th Street may seem vacant. Because it has only been occupied for about two years, upperclassmen on campus may believe it still is empty. “I’d say that on a daily basis, the funniest or most frightening thing is when a student or pedestrian walks up to the house and looks in the windows because they do not know anyone lives there,” said senior biochemistry major Jeremy Payne, one of five residents of the Lewis-Syford House. The Lewis-Syford House is the oldest building on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s campus and the third oldest building in Lincoln. According to the National Register of Historic Places, the house was built in 1878 by the Reverend Elisha M. Lewis. Rev. Lewis lived in the house until his death in 1891. Three years later, Mr. T. Hodgeman, a professor at UNL, moved into the home. Professor Hodgeman lived there until 1904, when the house was purchased by DeWitt Syford. A member of the Syford family lived in the house until 1965, when it was given to the Nebraska State Historical Society. The house was later used as offices for UNL, and the university’s occupation of the home has left some physical reminders be-

hind. The floor in the dining room and hallway is painted a dark green-blue, and finish has been stripped off of some of the doors. Random electrical outlets have been put in odd places in some rooms, such as one in the middle of the floor in a bedroom off the living room. After being used for university offices, the house sat vacant. A family attempted to purchase the house and convert it into a school for children with autism. The modifications the family hoped to make, including adding extra parking and a new building behind the house, caused the Lincoln City Council to reject the plan. The house again sat vacant, before being purchased in 2013 for restoration by National Geographic contributing photographer Joel Sartore and his family. Sartore’s son, Cole Sartore, still lives in the house, along with four other UNL students. For the five residents, living in the Lewis-Syford House can really be the best of both worlds, due to the access to UNL’s city campus. “The best thing about living in the LS house is the proximity to all of my classes and meetings on campus,” Payne said. “I have the ability to leave the house and, within five minutes, get to nearly any building on campus by foot.” And though the house is located on cam-

FILE PHOTO BY ADAM WARNER pus, it’s privately owned, so alcohol is allowed inside. “We’ve had beers on the porch sometimes, and we get funny looks from people,” Henning said. “UNLPD will walk by, and they just kind of look at us.” The residents of the house joked that they should convert a small room in the basement

into a speakeasy, but plans for that never came to fruition. “This was gonna be the place; we were gonna be open Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and people going to the bars or coming back from the bars could just stop here for a casual

DAILYNEBRASKAN’S VISITING UNL

UNL AFTER DARK Studying, snacking, snoozing among popular library pastimes MARCELLA MERCER JAN. 25, 2016 At 9 p.m. Thursday, bookbags were splayed open; the tables were smothered with textbooks and notes. Korean characters, court case timelines and chemistry formulas covered the whiteboard walls of the study rooms. For many college students, Thursday nights are synonymous with beverages, bad decisions and an amnesia of any academic responsibilities. But in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Adele Coryell Hall Learning Commons, the desks were filled with people studying, snacking and snoozing. The area is accessible 24/7, making it one of the few places UNL students can go to study anytime. Some students arrive for their after-dark studying because of the commons’ novelty. “My grind is usually too much for the library, but I wanted to check out the new place,” said Kevin Real, a senior biological systems engineering and chemistry student. Others come because it’s a central space on campus. Gabrielle McGraw, a senior English major with curly lilac hair, stayed in the commons to meet up with her friend. To pass the time, she slept at a desk, resting on a Pokémon scarf doubling as a blanket. “I have a night class,” she explained when she woke up more than an hour after she fell asleep. After 10 p.m., however, the commons calmed. Steve Friesen, a custodian, said it was a quiet night. The lack of late-night students made it easier for him to get work done from the start of his shift at 10:30 p.m. “You never know, you’re talking about coffee

spills, stains, and you don’t know what you can do until people leave,” he said. He was one of three custodians cleaning the 30,000 square feet of the commons that night. Coffee spills can be a significant problem, with a new Dunkin’ Donuts located in the space, he said. Paper cups litter the tables of the area, like pins on a map of the sleep deprived. The cafe is open until 1 a.m., and a line forms even at 11 p.m. By this point, the cafe is manned by a single employee, shift leader and sophomore UNL student, Jason Wisenbaker. Wisenbaker began working for the chain in May 2015 and was a frequent customer before his employment. “I like coffee, and I like donuts,” he said. “I love it.” But his time at the chain hasn’t always been a fun experience. During winter break, a man robbed the Dunkin’ Donuts Wisenbaker was working at in Omaha. About 8:10 p.m. on Dec. 27, a man dressed in all black with a ski mask entered Wisenbaker’s work with a gun and demanded he give him the money in the store safe. “It was like ‘LOL I’m going to die at Dunkin’ Donuts,’” Wisenbaker said. After handing the man more than $1000 in cash, he made Wisenbaker and his coworker enter the freezer so they wouldn’t see him leave. They waited in the negative 2 degree-freezer until they thought it was safe, then ran into the back office, locked it and called the police, he said. Once the police arrived and he was safe, Wisenbaker realized the way the ski-masked man behaved was strange. He seemed to recognize the layout of the shop, knowing where the safe and freezer were located. There was also something about the way the man spoke and

FILE PHOTO BY ANDREW BARRY looked that was familiar, Wisenbaker said. Wisenbaker remembered hearing of another Dunkin’ Donuts robbery in Lincoln the week before on Old Cheney Road. It was the same location from where a past co-worker had been transferred to the shop in which he was working. A co-worker who looked and sounded like the man in the ski-mask. Wisenbaker told the police about this connection. Then, last week, his director of operations called him to tell him his old co-worker had been arrested in connection to the robbery, in part because of Wisenbaker’s help. Remembering the robbery still shakes him up, he said. “The first night I couldn’t sleep,” he said. “I had really bad nightmares. But it’s fine now.” Wisenbaker said he wouldn’t go back to the Dunkin’ Donuts where the robbery occurred, and he would rather stay at the one in the commons. He said he didn’t expect anything dramatic to happen there. Community safety officer Tom Tegley said the area should be calm. Maybe there will be problems with non-students trying to sleep in the space or arguments over a study room but likely no significant issues, he said. Throughout his career, Tegley said he’s seen a man screaming about wizards while barefoot in the snow, and a student who was able to act sober when he actually had alcohol poisoning. It’s an easier part of the job, but an “interesting” one, he said. There will likely be no more than four people late at night, said Madison Mascare, a sophomore art student who works at the commons’ information desk. She came to that conclusion because every hour of her 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. shift for the

night, she’ll have to walk around and count the number of students in the area. “I don’t have classes until noon, so I get plenty of time to sleep,” she said. “I planned out my schedule specifically so I get enough sleep.” Once Mascare’s shift is over, the days of other employees begin. The cafe’s donuts are baked every morning around 4:30 a.m, usually by Vernon Joseph, the manager of the commons’ Dunkin’ Donuts. They’re made in a room about the size of a closet next to the cafe. “It’s about a third to a quarter of the size of the kitchen we normally use,” he said, “We have to use every square inch we have.” His recommendation for the best donut at the cafe is maple frosted, but the most popular is the glazed, he said. Days are long right now, as the cafe is busy. About 60 dozen donuts are sold every day, often by Joseph himself. “When somebody says ‘Oh, that’s a good donut,’ I’m like ‘Yep, I made that this morning,’” he said, “I love the look in someone’s eyes when they buy a donut. They say it’s like a child in a candy store, but it’s like a grown-up in a donut shop.” As Joseph starts work, it’s still hours before the Friday morning sun will rise. The darkness covering campus has plenty of time left. But by 5 a.m., the commons is nearly vacant. Desks are clean, chairs pushed in and donuts are in the oven, primed for the rush of students sure to come. The stories of the night’s students and employees are over. The new ones will come with the next day. NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Westbrook houses collection of unique pipe organs SARAH WONTORCIK DN

FILE PHOTO BY EMILY MCMINN

In a small section in the basement of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Westbrook Music Building are five doors, behind each of which lies a different pipe organ. “People who give us these instruments are called organ donors,” Glenn Korff School of Music Director and Chair John Richmond said. Behind the first door lies an organ dating back to the construction of the building in 1967. There are three ranges on this organ, and each range has a corresponding lineup of pipes covering an entire wall. “One pipe for each key on the keyboard,” said Christopher Marks, associate dean of the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts. The pipes vary in size, shape and material, some metal and some wood. Each of these differences produces a different sound. “You know other musical instruments like trumpets and clarinets?” Richmond asked. “Well, trumpets and clarinets play the same notes in the same octave, but when you hear a trumpet, you would never confuse it with a clarinet. So if it’s made of different stuff, it makes a different timbre – or color – of sound. If it’s a different size, it makes a different note.” In the other four rooms, the organs are much smaller, but each one has its own

distinctive quality. One organ was built in 1885 and was given to the music school by a church in rural Nebraska. “None of them are exactly the same,” Marks said. “In fact, almost never do you see two organs exactly the same. They’re all custom built, all different shapes and sizes.” Marks said this is one of his favorite things about an organ: its individuality. “I like the music that’s written for it. I like the variety of sounds that it can make,” Marks said. “I like that each one is different. They each have their own personality, which is a lot of fun.” Richmond and Marks described a unique organ found in St. Cecilia Cathedral in Omaha, which Richmond described as “spectacular.” “It has two different tuning systems built into it, which is very unusual,” Marks said. “Most keyboard instruments now have equal temperament, which means that every halfstep is exactly the same. That’s – in history – a very recent phenomenon; only in the last 100 years or so.” Before that, he said, several different kinds of tuning systems were used. As a result, not all half-steps were always exactly the same. This specific organ requires the player to choose a tuning system, which then determines which pipes will be played and which will not.

THERE’S A STORY BEHIND EVERYTHING, AND THE SCULPTURES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA-LINCOLN’S BOTANICAL GARDENS HAVE THEIR FAIR SHARE OF HISTORY. FILE PHOTO BY JAMES LIU

FILE PHOTO BY LANI HANSON

BREACH

“Breach” by Roxy Paine is a stainless steel sculpture camouflaged to look like a tree. Installed in 2004, “Breach” is part of a collection of contemporary art by Paine. His work “Maelstrom,” is of similar construction, which was first installed in Central Park but has now been moved to a private collection.

TORN NOTEBOOK

“Torn Notebook” by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen was fabricated in 1996. The loose pages strewn about are made to look like they were blown by the wind, which there’s a lot of in Nebraska. The words within the pages are notations of observations the artists made while driving to the university site.

There are about 30 outdoor sculptures scattered throughout University of Nebraska-Lincoln City and East campuses. These sculptures all contribute to the 642-acre UNL Botanical Garden and Arboretum. Some of these sculptures have historical influences, like Catherine Ferguson’s “Arietta II” located just north of the Sheldon Museum of Art. “Prehistoric people living along the Mississippi River in Iowa built Earth mounds in the shapes of animals,” Ferguson said. “I selected birds from these records because of their ability to lift off. I applied the birds to form the larger cone shape, a shape that can suggest the toe shoe of a ballet dancer. Both birds and dancers captivate us because of their defiance of gravity.” “Arietta II” stands at 12 feet tall and took Ferguson about six weeks to both design and construct. Ferguson said it was initially created for an exhibit at Navy Pier in Chicago before UNL bought it. She also said her favorite part about this particular sculpture is its shape. “The front and back curve and the sides are flat,” Ferguson said. “I like that you can see more than one or two sides at once, because of the openings.” Sharon Kennedy, director of education at the Sheldon Museum of Art, said that while works like “Torn Notebook” by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen and “Breach” – the stainless steel tree by Roxy Paine were made specifically for UNL – most on-campus sculptures were not made with that intention. “There is a story that ‘SANDY: in Defined Space’ by Richard McDermott Miller was originally a work on loan,” Kennedy said of a sculpture of a woman framed in a square. “When it came time to return the piece to its lender, UNL students banded together to raise money to help purchase the work so that it could be enjoyed for years to come.” The oldest sculpture displayed on campus is one called “Bather” by Jacques Lipchitz, which can be found next to the front doors of the Sheldon and dates back to 1923-1925. The most recent addition, installed in 2013, was created by Omaha artist Jun Kaneko. The piece is a blue, glazed ceramic head and sits on a galvanized steel base on the southwest side of the Sheldon. While she enjoys all the work displayed on campus, Kennedy said she especially likes “Greenpoint” by Richard Serra, a CorTen steel piece just south of the bell tower and north of Love Library. “It is monumental in size and has a beautiful rust patina,” Kennedy said. “Visitors can walk into the work which allows for an enhanced experience. Once inside you can get a better sense of the scale of the piece. If you clap your hands or holler ‘Go Big Red!’ you will find there is a wonderful echo. You can also look up and frame the sky or look to the north and find that the work provides a perfect frame for Mueller Tower.” NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

OLD GLORY

“Old Glory” by Mark Di Suvero was installed in 1986. Di Suvero creates works that require viewer interaction, describing his work as “painting in three dimensions.” “Old Glory” invites the viewer to lie beneath it and look up at the sky. On a mostly clear day, with just a little bit of cloud and the red bars running the length of the sky, it reminds the viewer of the American flag.

FALLEN DREAMER

“Fallen Dreamer” by Tom Otterness is a bronze head installed in 1995. Otterness worked as a guard at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, where he was inspired by giant Olmec heads of ancient Central American cultures. The head is thought to represent fallen heroes or icons.

SANDY

“Sandy: in Defined Space” by Richard McDermott was brought to the campus temporarily in 1970 but never left. The sculpture came on loan from New York when the Vietnam War was in full force and student protests at Kent State had led to four students’ death. Sandy’s position inside the box seemed to perfectly describe the feelings of the students. Captivated by “Sandy,” the students raised $12,000 to buy her.

EAST CAMPUS UNION

Sometimes called “the living room of East Campus,” the East Campus Union shouldn’t be underestimated. Just like the Nebraska Union, it’s a good place to hang out or study, but the East Union also features a six-lane bowling alley and Loft Gallery.

PERIN PORCH

Back in 1875, the superintendent of UNL’s East Campus (or “farm campus” as it was known back then), S.W. Perin, moved into a white house with a large and welcoming porch that was built on the land. It was originally built as a dorm for students there but even after Perin moved in, he was known to have gatherings for the then-small amount of students in the agriculture department to socialize and study on the porch. Recently, the university’s Botanical Garden and Arboretum constructed a replica of the porch to serve the same purpose in the same spot.

MAXWELL ARBORETUM

In the 1940s, a man by the name of Earl Maxwell began planting trees near a creek on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s East Campus. Nurtured through the years, this stretch of land is now well-shaded by hardy oaks, decorated by perennials and even serves as a testing ground for new species of plants as its towering dome-like canopy acts as a buffer to the surrounding traces of urban life. Now dedicated as the second site of the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum, the East Campus arboretum isn’t only a showcase for what can grow in Nebraska. Within its winding trails, visitors can find a monolithic Eastern Cottonwood, anchoring the arboretum’s center like a cathedral, to the more ornamental and decorative trees like the European Tricolor Beech and the Korean Sun Pear. UNL’s current landscape now boasts more than 325 acres of green space, home to approximately 9,000 trees and 68,000 shrubs and is valued at more than $9.1 million.

DAIRY STORE

From its beginnings as a milk separator facility and with celebrations in sight for its 100th anniversary in 2017, the Dairy Store remains the place for hands-on education and a model harmony between agriculture, industry and business – not to mention the best scoop of Scarlet and Cream around. Based on UNL’s colors, Scarlet and Cream isn’t the only popular flavor served on the East Campus Loop: Corn is another seasonal favorite. In addition to expanding its menu to include coffee, sandwiches, soup and café-style options, the Dairy Store sells a diverse array of cheeses and cheese boxes, some of which come packaged in a Nebraska-shaped container.

THE INTERNATIONAL QUILT STUDY CENTER AND MUSEUM

Located near the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s East Campus, the quilt museum houses the largest public collection of quilts in the world. And these are not just the kind of quilts you’ve probably seen at your grandparents’ house. The museum – founded in 1997 after Nebraska natives Ardis and Robert James donated their collection of almost 1,000 quilts and an endowment to the University of Nebraska- Lincoln – displays quilts old and new from around the world.

EAST CAMPUS’ TRACTOR TESTING FACILITY

OFFERS UNIQUE LAB EXPERIENCE TO STUDENTS ELIZABETH REMBERT DN University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s East Campus boasts the Dairy Store, the Lanes N’ Games bowling alley and the only university tractor testing facilities in North America. The test lab and track were established in 1919, after Wilmot Crozier, an Osceola farmer and congressman, bought a Ford tractor that didn’t live up to its advertised claims. The advertisements had over-exaggerated the machine’s horsepower. Determined that no other farmer should fall to such disappointment, Crozier worked with other state senators to pass the Nebraska Tractor Test Act in 1919. The law requires all tractors sold in Nebraska to be tested through the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory on East Campus. Roger Hoy, director of the Nebraska Test Laboratory, said the law was the foundation of the testing facilities. “The senators and the university worked together to make sure there would be a place to test the tractors,” he said. A harsh winter in 1919 delayed the facility’s first successful test until 1920. It is known as the world’s first tractor test lab.

With the test track and indoor testing facilities, Hoy said the lab performs three tests: power, sound and a 3-point lift test. If the machine lives up to the claims made by companies, the tractor is given approval by the Nebraska Test Lab. Hoy said the lab’s approval carries a lot of weight in advertising. “Some companies test their tractors knowing they’ll pass. They just want their machine to have our approval,” Hoy said. John Hansen, president of the Nebraska Farmers Union, said the need for the tractor test lab continues today. “There tends to be wild claims made about the performance of tractor engines and how much horsepower they have and all those kinds of things,” he said. “There is a lot of advertising and misinformation that farmers really struggle with, and looking at these test results is really helpful for people who live off the land.” Hansen said he consulted the test lab’s results when he bought his first tractor in 1973. Hoy said the test lab is still nationally significant to the farm equipment industry. “It has become the basis for not only Nebraska farmers, but also for farmers all over the nation,” Hansen said. “It helps (people) make better buying decisions and is a tre-

mendous service to agriculture.” As the union president, Hansen said he meets farmers from all over the country, and the test lab often comes up in conversation. “In addition to football, the test lab is what the university is known for,” Hansen said. The test lab also has significance to the people working there. The lab employs parttime student workers, and the experience the students gain by working there is invaluable, Hoy said. All of his workers have summer internships planned, and the graduating students have jobs lined up. “I’ve even had people call me to ask if I have any more students looking for jobs or internships,” Hoy said. Hansen agreed. “The lab enhances the engineering program, and it’s an important part of their learning and provides a lot of their benefits,” he said. But lessons on the tractor test lab don’t always go according to plan, Hoy said. He talked about one piece of machinery, the “motor grader from hell.” “It was going around the track when it burst into flames,” Hoy said, “The gas spilled into the ground, so we had students out there scrubbing the ground to get the gas out. We

had to do soil tests. It was a mess.” Although the lab may play a big part in the worker ’s lives, Mason Mieszala believes a lot of students don’t know about the testing facilities and museum. However, Mieszala, an animal and meat sciences senior, believes the facilities have a lot to offer students. “If you are interested in the history of agriculture, it’s one of the coolest things you could see in the city of Lincoln,” he said.

UNL AFTER DARK

Architecture Hall night owls build support system BAILEY SCHULZ JAN. 25, 2016 It’s 3 a.m. Campus is still dark, the streets are empty and most would assume University of Nebraska-Lincoln students are sleeping back in their residence halls. But architecture students know better. Aiden Schneider, a sophomore architecture major, understands all too well that Architecture Hall is usually alive, even in the dead of night. “I would say that there probably is at least one person here, excluding janitors,” he said. “Students (are here) all hours of the night and all hours of the day.” Yaan Chen, a sophomore, said he usually spends anywhere from 10 to 15 hours in Architecture Hall. But the long hours haven’t turned him away from the major. “I love it,” he said. “It’s been torturing us, but we still love it.” At 11 p.m. on a Wednesday, only two weeks into the semester, the building was full of second-year students working on a project. The assignment asked them to create a structure for a dog park at Holmes Lake. For the assignment, students visited the dog park and chose the location to build the structure. Back on campus, they were tasked with making a digital model of their design and creating smaller 3-D models for the assignment. Sophomore Abigail Nelson said the group project is one of the most difficult assignments she’s had so far. “It’s hard,” she said. “But I know with my group and with the feedback they get, it’ll be successful.” The most time-consuming part of these projects is making the physical models, Nelson said. “Cutting anything by hand with several layers like this will take hours,” she said, referencing her 3-D model. Junior Hannah Christy said her last model took her 60 hours to complete. These models are one of the reasons so many students spend several hours in the building. It’s easier to stay at Architecture Hall, where they have access to tools and supplies than to take a model home and risk damaging it. And those hours in the building add up quickly. Nelson said her record amount of time in the building is about 48 hours. “I’m here more than I’m at home,” she said. “It’s still fun, though. Somehow, I find it fun.” Christy said she’s spent four or five nights in a row staying awake to work on projects. “I just take little sporadic naps,” she said. “Then, I just slept for like three days straight afterwards. I don’t think people really realize how much goes into being an architecture major. My roommates have no clue. They know I’m here all day, but I’m literally work-

FILE PHOTO BY ADAM WARNER ing the whole time.” The architecture students get creative to make it through the extended stays in the building. Sophomore Joe Mueller said different students have different methods of staying awake. “Some people take caffeine pills, some people take coffee,” he said. Christy said in her last project, she and her partners took sleeping shifts between their hours of working. And while she hasn’t done this herself, she knows someone who brings in an egg crate to take naps under the desks. While all the hours spent in the building may seem extreme, it has resulted in a support system of students ready to help each other do what it takes to make it through a project. “The college is so tight-knit,” Schneider said. “I’ve probably never been so tight with a group of people so fast. Everyone is just so

similar. It doesn’t really matter where you came from or what you like or do, it’s just pretty much a family right when you get in.” Sophomore Shayla Dick agreed. “One of my favorite parts is the small community that you build,” she said. “We all spend crazy hours here, so you get to know people on a more personal level.” And of course, that support system of students finds ways to help each other de-stress. “One time,” Christy said, “we got done with one of our projects and a couple people in my studio and I went to the top floor of Architecture Hall and just threw our projects off the roof, just because we were so done with it.” Mueller said they’ve also battled stress by throwing dance parties and blaring music so loud others can hear it from a nearby parking lot. “Our year ’s pretty bad at blaring music,” he said of his fellow sophomores. “We’ve got in trouble, but music’s music.”

Along with the fellow students, the college professors are another great support system for architecture majors, Christy said. She said while she was intimidated by how hard they pushed her in the beginning, she appreciates it now. “They do prepare you so well for the upcoming years and just the overall career that you’re going into,” Nelson said. While the workload is sometimes intense, she said she believes it will all be worth it by the end. “It’s definitely more difficult than I expected, but like I said, it’s going to pay off at the end, and they’re just training us for what real-world architects actually do,” Nelson said. “If you have a successful project and you present it, every minute is worth it... It’ll go in a portfolio, and it’ll just help in the long-run to get a good job and (with) the rest of my life.” NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

DRINKS & APPETIZERS HOPCAT, 601 P ST.

LONGWELL’S, 350 CANOPY ST. #100

If you’re visiting from out of town, or aren’t familiar with local brews, HopCat has quite the selection. In my opinion, you can’t go wrong with Brickway; try their Coffee Vanilla Stout – it’s smooth, rich and aromatic. Loaded Pretzel Nuggz smothered in cheese, topped with bacon, onion and pickled jalapeno. I’m not sure I can adequately express the perfection that is this appetizer. See for yourself.

Longwell’s is the perfect place to catch up on sports; you name it, they’re probably showing it. However, with an assortment of 76 beers and 100 taps, it can be tough to make a decision. Locally speaking, Zipline’s Oatmeal Porter is quintessential. I highly recommend ordering a flight, four sample beers within a theme, paired with their Smoked Pork Belly Sliders. Pork, tomato, arugula, whole grain mustard aioli… my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

LEADBELLY, 301 N. 8TH ST.

BLUE SUSHI, 808 R ST. #200

Crab Rangoon Dip, Kalua Pork Nachos and Philly Egg Rolls; honestly, there are no wrong decisions here. All dishes are exemplary. If you’re on the look-out for a great Bloody Mary, you’re in luck. They have the breathtaking kind – with the donuts and bacon, you know the kind. Additionally, their Cucumber Cooler is truly incredible, a mojito imbued with cucumber, the ultimate refreshment.

DEMPSEY’S, 228 N. 12TH ST. Dempsey’s is better known for their impeccable burgers, although you must try their Truffle Fries – best accompanied by a side of Truffle Cream and Catsup sauce. Guinness is the obvious choice – you, too, will quickly come to that realization when you enter the pub-style building. No, it’s not the typical appetizer/drink combo. But in this case, it really doesn’t have to be.

MELLOW MUSHROOM, 601 R ST.

Mojitos and sushi go hand in hand like, well, you know the saying (there’s not one; there should be). I’m often inclined to order a coconut mojito and the Philadelphia. Not into raw fish? Hawaiian Roll is the way to go. Salmon, crab, mango… It’s tempura fried and so flavorful. I frequently stop in to cool down with a refreshing snack on their lavish couches, while always, always getting a side of Edamame (for free with a Yelp check-in). You won’t regret it.

WINGS AND RINGS, 350 CANOPY ST. #200 You have to go with the wings, hence the name. Only you know your taste in wings, although the Thai Chili is fairly impressive. That being said, Wings and Rings makes their own homemade bleu cheese dressing that will go flawlessly with whatever your taste may be. All of which should be ordered with an iced tea – Long Island, that is. COMPILED BY KENDALL DICKINSON

Pizza is pizza; however, at Mellow Mushroom it’s so much more. Thai Dye, Red Skin Potato Pie and my personal favorite, Holy Shiitake Pie, are just a few of their specialty slices. Grab an invigorating Moscow Mule, snag a seat at the bar and enjoy the artsy atmosphere.

THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP MEMORIAL STADIUM CLEAN

Another game, another fourth-quarter loss. Ninety thousand crestfallen fans head straight for the exits, rivers of red spilling through the gates of Memorial Stadium and out onto the streets of Lincoln. In minutes, the

stands are almost entirely deserted, and the only remnants of the fans who filled them just moments ago are the thousands of empty water bottles, Valentino’s pizza boxes and Wimmer’s hot dog wrappers they left at their feet. Meanwhile, in a cavernous lounge beneath the North Stadium, 40 men and women are getting ready to eat some Domino’s pizza. These are the students who will pick up every last piece of trash their peers left behind.

Nothing in these students’ demeanor’s implies the unenviable task they are about to perform. In fact, looking around the room at these 40 students, one would think their Nebraska Cornhuskers had just beaten the Northwestern Wildcats, and not the other way around. Dressed in civilian clothes (T-shirts and athletic shorts, many of the latter cut short in the traditional Navy/Marine style), the Navy and Marines ROTC midship-

men smile, laugh and tease one another like they aren’t about to spend the next three-plus hours picking up others’ trash with their bare hands. Some of them sit on couches, glued to the Michigan State-Indiana game on the TV in the corner of the room. Others sit on stadium security carts that have just been brought in and parked in the center of the room. Most

STADIUM CLEANUP: FROM 22 just stand around and wait for the pizza. When the food arrives, there is no ambush for the delivery man, no mad dash to the table to grab a slice. This isn’t a free-for-all. This is the Navy/Marines ROTC; there is a disciplined procedure to follow, even for pizza. The man in charge, junior biochemistry major Adam Brake, calls for the freshman to help themselves. Then the sophomores. Then the juniors. Seniors eat last. Like everything else the battalion does together, there’s a reason behind the procedure. “Leadership,” Brake says. “As a leader, you always have to take care of your men first. Freshman eat first, seniors last.” The pizza goes fast because 40 fit ROTC midshipmen eat like 40 fit ROTC midshipmen, and because everyone here is ready to get started. “The faster we eat, the faster we get started,” Brake says. “The faster we get started, the faster we get done.” “Fast” is a relative adjective for the job at hand. On average, it takes this battalion — and the ones from the Army and the Air Force, which alternate with the Navy/Marines battalion for stadium cleaning duties — threeand-a-half hours to collect all the trash in Memorial Stadium. On days like this one, where the game starts at 11 a.m., it means leaving the stadium somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 p.m. Other game times aren’t so merciful. For night games, the midshipmen often comb the stands until 2 or 2:30 a.m. Because many of these same midshipmen also work

having to pick up trash out of pools of puke. “Someone will hurl in the stands, and then trash gets in it, and you want to disinfect your whole body when you get home,” Marsoleck said. Why do they do it? For starters, stadium cleaning duty is mandatory for all ROTC battalions. Then, to make it fun, there’s the competition between the branches: who can clean the stadium fastest? But beyond all that, there’s something else, too, something sacred to these future members of the United States Armed Forces: duty. “Someone’s gotta do it,” junior environmental science major Tucker Bonow said. “The most important part is getting it done. I don’t really care if people know (we do it). Recognition’s not a thing, especially when you’re picking up garbage.” Indeed, cleaning the stadium row by row is often a thankless job. But these ROTC midshipmen do it anyway, every third week, and they do it without complaining. And aside from the money that the athletic department pays them, all they ask in return for their work is for the fans to be more conscious about the trash they leave behind them. “We have 90,000 people at each game,” Marsoleck said. “If every person just picked up one piece of trash to take with them on their way out, that’s 90,000 less pieces of trash we’d have to pick up.” NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

DAILYNEBRASKAN’S VISITING UNL

Iron N looks to continue tradition of sportsmanship BAILEY SCHULZ DN A sign above each entrance to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Memorial Stadium reminds students and fans alike, “Through these gates pass the greatest fans in college football.” Home to the NCAA record of more than 340 consecutive sellouts, Memorial Stadium is the center of what is known as one of the most loyal college fan bases in the country. Each home game day, fans fill the stadium with a sea of red and transform it into Nebraska’s third largest city for the day. But Nebraska fans are known for more than loyalty. They’re also known for their sportsmanship, said Lura Parrent, a sophomore chemical engineering major and a volleyball sport director in the Iron N, a student-led organization whose goal is to unite the UNL student body behind Husker athletics and create “the ultimate home advantage.” Parrent said sportsmanship has become the brand of Husker fans. “It’s what everybody looks at us for,” she said. “That’s really important to us; that we’re not booing them, we’re not saying rude things to the other teams or doing inappropriate chants.” The Illinois native said the Nebraska fan base is unlike anything else she has ever seen. “I’ve never been to a sporting event where

when the other team’s being introduced, we clap for them,” she said. “(It’s) just something you never see anywhere else.” The out-of-state student was also surprised by the turnout rate Nebraska sports have. “It doesn’t compare to anything I’ve ever seen before,” she said. “Regardless of how good or bad the team’s doing and whatever sport it is, they’ll always have a lot of fans there supporting them.” Parrent said she was shocked when she found out the volleyball team fills seats in the arena the basketball team used to play in. “You go to a volleyball game here and it’s full, like 8,000-people full,” she said. “We fill it up and sell it out for over 100 games straight, which is just crazy to think.” She credited the fact that while many states have multiple state colleges and universities, dividing their residents, Nebraska has only one large state university. Because of this, one can find Husker fans throughout the entire state. While Husker fans are known for sportsmanship, not every game or fan is perfectly polite. The Iron N is often tasked with controlling the student crowd’s attitude during games, a feat that isn’t always easy, according to Patrick Luddy, a senior computer engineering major in The Iron N. He said The Iron N’s tactic when things get crazy is to distract the giant crowd. “If it seems like it’s going to be a bad point in

the game where something might start, we’ll try to start a ‘Husker Power (chant)’ between the two student sections or something not bad,” he said. “Normally, that’s ‘Husker power’ between the south and east student section or a ‘Go Big Red’ chant.” Brendon Henning, a senior marketing major and a member of The Iron N, said the success of The Iron N’s ability to control the crowd has a lot to do with the age of its members. “I feel like when it’s your peers that are attempting to do something, it mobilizes our student body a lot better than adults with an agenda trying to make something happen,” he said. “You see people your age wanting to do something cool, it resonates better with the student body.” Besides politeness, The Iron N strives for Husker fans to be known for making gestures of kindness in difficult times, for example in 2013, when Nebraska fans let loose blue and yellow balloons and held a sign that read “N #36” to honor Nick Pasquale. The walk-on UCLA receiver had died the week before the Huskers played the Bruins in Lincoln. After the game, UCLA sent a sign back thanking Husker fans for the gesture. The sign hung below the student section for the rest of the season. Henning said The Iron N organizes such gestures because they believe it’s the right thing to do. “I feel like it’s kind of what the nation has come to expect from Nebraska,” he said. “They get treat-

ed the right way here, and overall, their experience is great.” Other schools are noticing Nebraska’s great fans as well. Earlier this month, a Brigham Young University fan sent the Daily Nebraskan a letter thanking Husker fans for their hospitality and attitude. But that isn’t to say all Husker fans were perfect sports during the game. Parrent said during the BYU game, some fans seated in the south section began a derogatory chant directed at the opposing team. While The Iron N does control a lot of the cheering, Parrent gave credit to the upperclassmen in the east stadium for shutting down that particular cheer. “Everybody at east stadium just turned around and cut them off and shut it down immediately. It’s really cool to see that we as students are able to stop that,” she said. “We don’t want to be known as that nasty team, we want to be known for good sportsmanship and encouraging the other team.” Luddy said he believes the Huskers’ reputation as the friendliest fan base is what has helped keep it going for so long. “The fact that we’re known that way has shaped how we continue to work on it,” he said. “I think it’s definitely something that, one, will stay around, and two, we should keep around. It’s a cool culture to be a part of.” NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

HUSKER GAME DAY TRADITIONS Game days in Nebraska are an experience unlike any other, but they wouldn’t be the same without these popular game day traditions THE BLACKSHIRTS

TUNNEL WALK

The Husker defense has been known as the Blackshirts since the days of legendary coach Bob Devaney. Legend has it that, during a particularly difficult practice, Devaney sent one of his assistants to the local sporting goods store to buy a few gray pullover jerseys for his defensive players. He wanted to differentiate them from the offensive players. The assistant came back with black pullovers instead because they were on sale. Since then, Husker coaches award black practice jerseys to the starting defenders as a motivational tool. The tradition has taken on a bit of a black flag, pirate mentality, among fans. After a sack, interception, fumble-forced or any other important defensive play, fans and players alike will “throw the bones” – raising their arms above their heads and crossing their forearms to form an “x” – in celebration.

One of the biggest Husker traditions takes place before the team even steps on the field. Introduced in 1994, the tunnel walk begins with the football players leaving the locker room and gathering on the red carpet. Fans line the red carpet and pump up the team as they near the gates to the field, and a video shows the players running out of the locker room and down the tunnel to the field. Screams fill the stadium as the team gathers around its coach and prepare to storm the field. “Sirius” by the Alan Parsons Project serves as background music for this tradition. Before the team storms the field, however, each player jumps and touches a lucky horseshoe. Stories say the horseshoe was found in the dirt at the location where the stadium was to be built in 1923. Fans are able to take pictures with the lucky horseshoe before and after Husker games.

PRE-GAME SPECTACULAR The Cornhusker Marching Band’s pre-game spectacular is one of many traditions that helps create the irreplaceable energy that exists in Memorial Stadium on Husker game day. “The Pride of All Nebraska,” the band begins practice five and a half hours before every Husker home game. Once band members enter through all four corners of Memorial Stadium to begin the Marching Red experience, fans know that it’s time to get ready for the game to start. During the spectacular, the band plays songs such as, “Dear Old Nebraska U,” “University of Nebraska March,” “Mr. Touchdown,” “March of the Cornhusker” and others. The band’s themed halftime performances are worth holding off your trip to the bathroom just a few minutes longer.

SEA OF RED

CORNHEADS

SELLOUT STREAK

Influenced by the famed Green Bay Packer Cheesehead, the Cornhead is a staple of Husker football attire. Wearing a large, plastic ear of corn as a hat may not suit all fans, but nevertheless, a few hundred people show up to each game with produce strapped to their noggins. It may look ridiculous, but when has that stopped crazed sports fans from doing anything?

U N I V E R S I T Y

O F

If you’re headed to a Husker game, one thing’s for certain; the stadium will be engulfed in a sea of red. You may have heard of or seen the sea of red on TV, but there’s nothing like being a part of it. Wearing red to a game is the easiest way to show your Husker spirit and you can count on almost 90,000 other Husker fans to be doing the same. If you’re worried your outfit is lacking, Husker apparel can be found both inside and outside the stadium, including in the Nebraska Union’s University Bookstore and game-day tents around campus. Husker fans are some of the most passionate fans in college football, and the Huskers’ consecutive home game sellout streak is a perfect example of why the title holds true. The home game sellout streak began at a homecoming game almost 52 years ago. At the time, the stadium only held 36,501 fans, but the streak continued as the stadium grew. Today, Memorial Stadium holds 87,000, but game attendance easily reaches 90,000.

DAILYNEBRASKAN’S VISITING UNL

LEWIS-SYFORD: FROM 9 drink,” Henning said, laughing. “But since then, it’s kind of just become a work room.” Though the house is 137 years old, the interior feels the same as any other house occupied by college students. Cups and cans litter the living room coffee table, and a pile of shoes greets visitors coming in the side entrance. The decor is eclectic, to say the least. A pinball machine resides in the same entryway off the side entrance, and a stuffed moose head sits above the living room couch. A house this old doesn’t come without its quirks. Senior Brendon Henning described the basement of the house as “creepy” and “terrifying,” and it includes a well. The door to the basement sometimes locks itself from the inside. The front doors are roped shut, as they won’t stay locked otherwise. “The house warps over the seasons,” Henning said. “So the front doors would just fly open and bang around in the wind.” Even though the house is closing in on its 140th birthday, those living there say it’s easy to forget the history behind their home. “Over time, you forget that it’s the third oldest house in Lincoln,” Henning said. “It’s just a really nice house with the charm that comes with being right on campus.” NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

ORGANS: FROM 11 “It also determines which piece you’re going to play,” Marks said. “Music that was written in the 17th Century sounds better with the 17th Century tuning system and not as good on a 20th Century tuning system. Twentieth Century music tends to sound pretty horrible on the 17th Century tuning system.” Marks said that it would be very difficult to re-tune an entire organ to a different temperament. All of the instruments at UNL are tempered with the modern system of equal half-steps. Organs have been used in many different settings throughout history. Richmond said that they were once used to play in the background of movies. “There was a time, very, very early in the history of movies,” Richmond said, “where the picture itself was silent, but when you would go to see the movies, it wasn’t just sitting in a quiet room watching a moving image on screen. There would be an organist, sometimes an orchestra, but more often than not there was an organist.” Richmond said this caused many organs to be designed solely for the purpose of playing in the background of movies, even providing sound effects. “They’d add sirens, flare guns, bells, all sorts of crazy stuff,” Marks said. While there aren’t many UNL students who know how to play these organs, graduate student Zachary Turner has worked with Marks for nearly a year and a half. Turner works as a church musician with an undergraduate in piano, and originally planned to continue with piano, but instead decided to work with Marks and learn the organ. “It’s a newfound love of mine,” Turner said. “The biggest (difference) is the feet. I think also the style of the mechanisms are completely different. With a piano you hit a note, that’s the sound you get. With the organ, that’s probably true, but you can also choose when to soften that note. The same is true of a piano, but the nuances are very different.” Turner said his favorite part about learning the organ is that the learning never ends. “Just the seemingly infinite number of possibilities in terms of musical expression and technical development, I mean, it’s infinite,” Turner said. “You cannot stop learning about the organ. It’s the ‘king of instruments.’ Mozart referred to it as that. It has been used in Roman times for dance and festivities, to the church and theatrical organs. It’s the king of instruments.” NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM
