A group of about 60 University of Nebraska-Lincoln faculty, staff and students gathered Tuesday evening at the Nebraska Union to learn about the future of the Uni-versity Health Center.

UNL Chancellor Harvey Perl-man discussed more details of Bryan Health’s proposal to take over operations of the health cen-ter before fielding questions from the crowd.

“It is a battle of titans out there,” Perlman said during the event. “It’s no longer sensible in my view to run a small, indepen-dent health center. It’s not good now, and it will be increasingly difficult in the future.”

Bryan Health has said they would construct a new $14.4 mil-lion building to replace the cur-rent health center at no cost to students, as well as maintain all of the health services that are currently offered to students. The new building would be located at 19th and R streets, south of the Beadle Center.

Perlman emphasized the ben-efits that would come from priva-tizing the health center includ-ing students getting an updated building without an increase in student fees and the expanded variety of health insurance that a larger company like Bryan Health would be able to accept for services.

“I don’t believe that between Bryan Health and this univer-sity, this university can manage a health center better than Bryan Health can,” Perlman said.

UNL students currently pay

I n the second of four debates between Association of Stu-dent for the University of Nebraska hopefuls, parties

fielded questions regarding sus-tainability, University Health Center privatization and in-creasing student involvement in ASUN.

Sense for ASUN, Revive and Engage met on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. in the Nebraska Union Crib for a debate, which was hosted by the Daily Nebraskan and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Civic Action Commit-tee.

Proposed efforts to enhance sustainability at UNL while keeping student fees low stirred conflict between the campaign-ing parties and proved an issue that became heated during the closing remarks.

“Revive, you want paperless air dryers, those cost money,” said Blake Rostine, a junior Ger-man and political science major and presidential candidate for Sense.

Revive candidates admitted paperless air dryers cost money, but Revive presidential candi-date Zach Stull, a junior busi-ness administration major, ex-plained that paperless air dryers are not the biggest sustainability point they are advocating.

Allowing beer sales at the new Haymarket Arena during Nebraska basketball games is another platform Revive is cam-paigning on. Revive believes by allowing beer sales, but limiting the number students can pur-chase, the revenue generated will help pay back debt for the new project. Revive also stated allowing beer sales will increase attendance at the games.

Sam Adams, Revive’s candi-date external vice president and a junior finance and economics major, used Omaha’s Creighton University as an example of a school that allows beer sales at their basketball games and has not had any problems with it thus far.

Revive questioned how the Sense executives might imple-

ment a designated smoking area campus, which they proposed to seek student opinion on if elected. Anders Olsen, Sense’s external vice presidential can-didate and a junior agribusiness major, said he would create a plan to create smoking areas on campus that are easy access for smokers. Punishments include a student having their N-Card taken away, which costs $20 to replace, he said.

Creating a third college prep program in South Omaha, a plat-form of the Engage party, was also a topic of concern. Engage aims to create a bridge from South Omaha to give students the opportunity to have a clear path to UNL. Eric Reznicek, presidential candidate for En-gage, says a third college prep

Though fewer University of Ne-braska-Lincoln students are pick-ing up newspapers, UNL still ranks third out of 450 participating schools in newspapers consumed.

The Collegiate Readership Pro-gram – funded by student fees – has seen a steady decline in newspaper consumption by UNL students since the 2008-2009 school year, which reported a total of 757,347 newspapers consumed. At the end of the 2011-2012 school year, that number decreased approximately 35 percent to 489,441 newspapers.

“If I pick up a paper real late in the evening, there’s still like a big stack,” said Ashley Elrod, a senior criminology and criminal justice major. “And I’d rather see no pa-pers than so many at the end of the day.”

Pennsylvania State University

reported the highest number of newspapers picked up out of all participating schools, the Universi-ty of Utah falling just behind them, according Jason Meyer, senior ac-count manager for USA Today, who launched the program in 2003.

The decline in consumption of The New York Times, Lincoln Journal Star, Omaha World-Herald and USA Today could be attributed to several factors. Digital conver-gence, the migration of print read-ers to online, is a hot topic among news organizations. Elrod believes social media and other online news outlets could be driving students away from traditional newspapers.

“(People aren’t picking up pa-pers) because they can just read articles online now,” said Adam Snyder, a senior civil engineering major, “or just play games on their phones.”

Meyer agreed that digital tech-nologies, mobile phones and tablet

devices are probably what is caus-ing campus readership to decline. He oversees approximately 20 col-lege readership programs across Nebraska and Iowa.

Twitter, Facebook and other in-ternet sites are frequent news stops for Johnathon Hebbard, a junior communications major.

“They’re just a part of my daily routine,” Hebbard said. “You know you get up in the morning, jump on your computer, check your email, check Twitter, check Facebook, check the news in there as well.”

Providing students with an online subscription would be a dif-ficult process, according to Meyer.

“The problem with (offering online subscription) is it would just be USA Today online,” he said. “It would not address getting the Omaha paper online, the Lincoln paper online or The New York

nearly $300 toward health cen-ter operations each year. If UNL were to fund a new building and continue operating stu-dent health services, those fees would increase to about $405, according to university docu-ments. Under a proposed con-tract with Bryan Health, student fees would be about $322.68, ac-cording to the university docu-ment.

In the proposed contract, Bryan Health has agreed not to increase the cost of medical ser-vices for at least two years, after which they have agreed only to in-crease costs to ac-count for medical inflation costs.

Several audience members questioned how much weight university leaders have given to student and faculty opinions on the health center privatization.

“I think part of the frustra-tion is that they aren’t able to answer anything really,” said Sarah Chavez, an English grad-uate student. “It wasn’t really a discussion. It was ‘I’m going to tell you these things.’ It’s not a dialogue and that’s one of the main problems I had to begin with.”

Perlman said there have been a number of opportunities for outside input on the pro-posal including an initial evalu-ation committee that included student and faculty members and several open forums last se-mester about the issue.

He added that students can only have so much control over the happenings on a university campus.

“There are limits to how much a chancellor can delegate to the student body,” Perlman said.

In 2009, a referendum on

that year’s ASUN election bal-lot asked students whether they would support funding a new health center building. The ma-jority of voting students said they would not support a nearly $60 increase in student fees to fund the new center.

Bryan Health has also said current health center employees would keep their jobs for at least

one year, but UHC has seen a number of staff, including two physicians, quit since the p r i v a t i z a t i o n proposal was announced.

“ T h e r e ’ s many concerns I have with the

privatization proposal, but one of them is the disregard that has been shown for employees,” Chavez said. “This is the third university I’ve been at, and this is the best health center that I’ve ever gotten care at. The people aspect is very important to me.”

Sara Hinds, a sophomore journalism major, also said she is concerned for the staff of the health center.

“Staff is my main concern and keeping the people that know the students so well at the health center,” Hinds said. “Bryan is not interested in the student. They’re interested in making money and being a business. I think the students are losing something from privatizing.”

Perlman said he under-stands concerns about losing current UHC staff, but said he believes Bryan Health will of-fer an equally capable staff of medical professionals.

“I hate to break it to you, but things change,” Perlman said. “You can’t propose change without having disruption.”

It’s official: Chuck Hagel is the secretary of defense.

In a 58-to-41 vote, the U.S. Senate approved Hagel Tuesday afternoon to replace outgoing Secretary of Defense Leon Pa-netta.

The nomination of the former Republican senator from Nebras-ka to President Barack Obama’s Cabinet has been a long, divisive political battle. From the outset, Hagel was largely abandoned by his own party and attacked over his internationalist views.

Hagel survived a filibuster two weeks ago and the contin-ued attacks of several outspoken Republicans. Sen. Lindsey Gra-ham of South Carolina and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas lead the battle against Hagel, claiming he had ties to foreign money and does not understand America’s for-eign policy stance on Iran.

The result was a historic filibuster of a cabinet nominee.

Along with Gra-ham, Sen. John Mc-Cain of Arizona threatened to hold up the nomination process for Hagel and Obama’s pick for the CIA Director John Brennan, citing un-answered questions about the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Hagel has had mixed sup-port from Nebraska Sen. Deb

Fischer. During the 2012 election, he en-dorsed Democrat Bob Kerrey, Fischer’s op-ponent. Outgoing Sen. Mike Johanns said he would support Hagel and was among the yea votes Thursday afternoon.

Politicos de-scribed Hagel’s per-formance at his Jan. 31 confirmation hearing

as shaky at best. Fischer attacked Hagel during his hearing, claim-ing some of his views were “even to the left of this administration.”

Along with new Secretary of State John Kerry, Obama’s new cabinet has connections with the Vietnam War. Hagel will be the first secretary of defense to have served in combat. He is a Vietnam veteran with two purple hearts. Hagel’s war experience turned him to an early critic of the Iraq War, which is a reason he lost support of Republicans.

Among other issues in the Pentagon, Hagel may have to deal with $500 billion in planned spending cuts to his department on March 1.

senate approves Chuck hagel nomination

Federal research to be accessible to public

Journalists to show Brazil documentary

hagel

reeCe ristaUDN

After public outcry, a petition to the White House and the suicide of a prominent Internet activ-ist, the federal government has moved to make federally backed research more accessible to the public.

The White House announced last week it will make the re-sults of federally funded re-search available within the next year. The announcement came after growing pressure from the public, with an online petition demanding free access to scien-tific journal articles gaining more than 65,000 signatures.

Currently, scientific research is published in scholarly jour-nals, which many charge users

for access. However, the days of paper and mail are over, and the articles are much cheaper to publish than before the Internet, something those in academia have stressed.

Paul Royster, coordinator for scholarly communication at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said the concern of publishers is that open access would hurt the purchase of articles as well as readership. However, Roys-ter said current models offering free articles, such as the National Institutes of Health’s model, are working quite well.

“It hasn’t hurt the publish-ers at all,” Royster said. “It has helped the writers by getting more exposure and has helped the readers by increasing afford-ability.”

Some supporters of the de-cision suggest Aaron Swartz, co-founder of social media site Reddit, is a primary factor. The

announcement came just six weeks after Swartz, who was in-dicted in 2011 for releasing mil-lions of stolen articles and jour-nals, committed suicide.

Federal agencies are being granted a 12-month embargo time before having to switch to open-access availability. After this, all articles must be available online for free.

“This (decision) could greatly speed up new research,” said Brandon Locke, a UNL graduate student in history. “Work will be more unified and productivity will increase.”

Locke said with other re-searchers having access to more research, the quality and quan-tity would improve.

The directive will only apply to agencies with more than $100

million in research and develop-ment expenditures, according to an article in Reuters. The agen-cies will have to develop their own plans to open up their re-search, which the White House then must approve.

Critics of the policy say the 12-month embargo is devaluing the plan, and this is too long to wait to release the information.

The impact on college stu-dents will be widespread and positive, according to Locke, who often runs into trouble accessing certain research needed for his graduate studies.

“It will mean that students can get access to articles that the library does not have a subscrip-tion to,” Royster said.

Twice a year, Bruce Thorson teach-es a journalism class that travels around the world.

Over winter break, 10 Univer-sity of Nebraska-Lincoln journalism students and Thorson, an associate professor of journalism, traveled to São Paulo. The class’ project “Searching São Paulo: A Documen-tary Photography Project” will be shown at The Bourbon Theatre Wednesday from 5 to 8 p.m.

The class aimed to document the human condition and show what poverty looks like in a differ-ent country through multimedia projects combined into a documen-tary.

Nickolai Hammar, a sophomore journalism major and Daily Nebras-kan photographer, was one of the students who traveled to Brazil. Hammar said the students either worked individually or in pairs fo-cusing on a different aspect of pov-erty.

“Every time I work on a story, whether it’s in a foreign country or in Lincoln, Nebraska, I’m really humbled and amazed how open people are when you ask them if you can tell their story,” Hammar said.

Students spent three weeks pho-tographing, interviewing and re-cording in Brazil, according to Anna Reed, a senior journalism major. Af-ter months of research and countless hours editing, a final multimedia production is ready to be shared.

Reed said her class was not only trying to find stories about Brazil-ians in need but also how hope and optimism could spring from these stories.

“We tried to tell a story that American culture doesn’t know much about,” Reed said. “Poverty is an issue everywhere, but sometimes it doesn’t seem like much is known about the extent of those affected by poverty. The goal was to show that in this project.”

After the documentary’s presen-tation, there will be an opportunity for the audience to donate money to Brazilians in need, Thorson said.

Thorson said these stories might go on to motivate UNL students to do something that might help those in need in other countries or in the United States.

“Journalism has always been about taking stories, meeting peo-ple, telling their stories and then going away,” Thorson said. “But we hope to turn journalism around and to inspire people who watch this documentary to give back to these organizations and people whose stories we told.”

Times online. If we’re talking on-line, it becomes a much more com-plicated program because every newspaper does its own thing.”

Meyer said along with digital technology taking the reins in de-livering news, students’ upbring-ings could impact whether or not they pick up a newspaper.

“In some cases, maybe their parents were not acclimated to picking up papers,” he said. “May-be they haven’t had access to news-papers before so they’ve just never gotten into that routine.”

Although Hebbard said his parents have favored the print edi-tion of the Lincoln Journal Star ever since he can remember, he still opts for digital news.

“I’m already on the computer so why not look at (the news) that way,” he said. “Also with my phone, you know when you’re sitting around waiting for class.”

Promotion of the Collegiate Readership Program could also influence why newspaper read-ership is declining. USA Today is present at Big Red Welcome every year alongside the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska, but after that, ASUN is responsible for advertising the program.

“It’s kind of a program that advertises itself,” said Marlene Beyke, director of administration for ASUN.

Beyke said the program is also advertised at New Student Enroll-ment and via a map of newsstands on campus provided by USA To-day. At press time, the location map was not on ASUN’s website, but she said it should be there soon.

Effects of the declining num-ber of newspapers can be seen in several different ways. For one, students could be becoming less in-formed. But the declining number of newspapers picked up means less student fees are being allotted to the program, according to Gregg Jablonski, business manager for the Nebraska Unions. This leaves a surplus of money for ASUN to divvy up.

“Our strategy has always been to put as many papers in the ma-chines as we think are going to be consumed, and that’s what we plan and budget for,” Jablonski said.

Some schools, according to Jablonski, will only spend a fixed dollar amount and provide their students with however many pa-pers that buys. UNL does not do that.

The budget for the 2012-2013 readership program was $200,000. However, according to Jablonski, only $190,000 of it will be used. The budget request is based on prices of newspapers and current trends

of how many newspapers are be-ing picked up. Each day, carriers delivering that day’s paper count the number of papers left over, subtract that number from the total number set out, and report the total number of papers consumed on-line. USA Today, who’s largely in charge of the program, then sends Jablonski a bill every month for the numbers of papers picked up.

If the amount UNL is charged based on papers picked up falls un-der budget, the difference is placed into a reserve account. Right now, the reserve account is worth ap-proximately $100,000, according to Jablonski.

For the 2013-2014 school year,

the budget for the Collegiate Read-ership Program is $160,000. This is because $30,000 will be withdrawn from the reserve account and ap-plied to funding the program, so more student fees paid in the 2013-2014 school year will be devoted to other costs.

Meyer said even if the number of newspapers consumed contin-ues to decline, the program will not go away.

“There’s always going to be a high percentage of people who prefer to read (the newspaper) in paper format rather than digital,” he said.

Shirin Ebadi believes Iran needs a democracy to fix issues like free-dom of speech, and the people of Iran are ready for a democracy.

Ebadi, the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner, closed out the E.N. Thompson Forum on World Is-sues Tuesday night. The first Ira-nian and the first Muslim woman winner of the Nobel Prize, Ebadi received the prize for her ground-breaking efforts in democracy and human rights, focusing on women, children and refugees.

Tuesday night in the Lied Cen-ter for Performing Arts she dis-cussed the links between Islam, democracy and human rights.

Chancellor Harvey Perlman introduced Ebadi and awarded her with UNL’s Willa S. Cather Medal. She was awarded for her humani-tarian life work in Iran.

“I will place it on my desk as a symbol of the kindness of you people,” Ebadi said.

Ebadi, a lawyer and previ-ous professor at the University of Tehran, opened with questioning the credibility of a recent Gallup poll. This survey said more than 50 percent of the people of Iran agree with the actions of the Iranian gov-ernment and 60 percent of Iranians believe America is at fault for the conflicts between governments. She pointed out, however, that the government of Iran does not permit live people to go and take statistics.

“The people of Iran do not have free speech,” she said. With telephone lines tapped and emails being watched, “few people can say what they want to say.” She said because people in a police state are scared to disagree with government, they will say what

will keep them out of trouble.Religious dictators are the

problem, she said. The rulers in Iran are Muslim, and they pass laws according to their own inter-pretation of the Quran.

“Religious dictatorship is stronger than political dictator-ship,” Ebadi said.

Because these dictators view the laws through their own cultur-al lenses, she said human rights can be violated.

“What is the justification of Iran for the passage of these dis-criminatory laws?” she asked. “The government claims that these laws are based on the laws of Sharia.” The different interpretations of Is-lam differ similar to the different denominations of Christianity.

Mihdi Vahedi, business and law graduate student, said he was

impressed Ebadi was not scared to represent those without civil and political rights, even if it cost her personally.

“I think it’s refreshing to see Shirin Ebadi redefining the stan-dard for women’s rights and is-sues,” he said.

Diane Amdor, a third-year law student, said she looks up to Ebadi and was excited about her speech.

“Shirin Ebadi is an amazing role model for lawyers committed to principles and working for the good of people,” she said.

Ebadi seemed hopeful for the future of Iran.

“I’m sure that democracy will come to Iran,” she said. “Until that day, each Iranian will continue his or her struggle.”

program there would not only give students from South Omaha an opportunity, but also give UNL an opportunity to increase enroll-ment and diversity.

“We see an opportunity for growth and would love to be that growth,” said Reznicek, a junior marketing and finance major.

When Kaitlin Coziahr, vice presidential candidate for Engage and a junior finance, economics and management major, faced the question of what her successes and failures have been during her time as the ASUN communi-cations chair, she cited trying to reach out to groups as a success, but not reaching out to freshmen as a failure.

Sarah Cast, internal vice pres-idential candidate for Sense, re-futed Coziahr’s communication success in her response.

“You’ve had a year to improve communication, why haven’t you done so already?” Cast asked.

The candidates also argued over whether the privatization of the University Health Center is in the students’ best interest. Sense’s Rostine believes that privatiza-tion will not be saving students any money, while Reznicek and Stull believe just the opposite.

“Privatization is in the best in-terest of students if students want it,” Stull said. He hopes a new, privatized health center would also bring a “broader base” of

health care internship opportuni-ties for students. One of Revive Party’s platforms are to start dis-cussion about privatizing Univer-sity Housing and Career Services.

Rostine expressed concern that if Bryan Health took over health care, grant-based HIV test-ing may be eliminated. Reznicek agreed those were crucial pro-grams offered by the health cen-ter, and would not want that, or other programs that connect the health center to students, to be eliminated.

The next debate will be held on Thursday, Feb. 26 in the Ne-braska Union Crib and hosted by the Dailyer Nebraskan.

For the first time at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Residence Hall Association executive board mem-bers will be paid.

RHA approved the allocation of $4,400 for executive board compen-sation during its meeting Tuesday evening in the Jackie Gaughan Multi-cultural Center.

The funds will come from the 18 percent commission RHA receives from the sale of On Campus Market-ing resident student care packages. Sales take place three to four times each semester and garner $4,500 to $5,000, according to RHA adviser Me-lissa Peters.

UNL is the only school in the Big Ten that does not compensate its RHA executive board members, Pe-ters said.

RHA adviser Nathan Ross said this compensation is a way to thank RHA executive board members for their time and effort.

“I think this is a great step,” he said. “It is a great way for us to keep getting quality executive members.”

The compensation will go into effect next school year. The president and vice president of RHA will each receive $1,000 each school year. The treasurer, chief of staff, residential en-hancement chair, programming chair, events chair and speaker of the senate will each receive $400 each year.

RHA executive board members will receive half of the stipend at the end of each semester.

Executive board members will receive compensation under the con-dition that they rate well on regular evaluations by RHA advisers.

RHA President Meg Brannen, a senior advertising and public rela-tions major, said compensating fu-ture executive board members will provide incentive for students to stay in RHA and run for executive board positions.

“I want all of our leaders to feel that they are valued,” she said. “It’s working at other universities.”

Activities are illegal. People aren’t. It’s as simple as that.

Someone who illegally en-tered the United States is an un-documented immigrant. Enter-ing the country without proper

visas is an illegal activity, but that doesn’t make a human being “illegal.” The problem with considering a human being “illegal” is that it’s dehumanizing. Rather than looking at the obstruction of justice, we’ve deemed that person an obstruction.

If someone who breaks the law is consid-ered “illegal,” then this concept should apply everywhere and not just with immigration. Ever get a traffic ticket? You’re deemed an il-legal driver rather than a driver who commit-ted a crime. Except that’s not how language works. The only instance where someone is considered “illegal” is within the context of immigration.

Within the journalism community, there has been discussion about whether the term “illegal immigrant” is appropriate to use. Much of this uproar has been caused by jour-nalist Jose Antonio Vargas coming out as an undocumented immigrant, as well as calling on the media to stop using the term.

His story is fascinating, and one that demonstrates just how complicated the de-bate is. Vargas left the Philip-pines when he was 12 years old to live with his grandpar-ents (who legally immigrated, for the record). It was on his 16th birthday, when he went to get his driver’s license, that he discovered his green card was fake.

What do we expect a 16-year-old undocumented immigrant to do? Turn himself in to authorities, then return to a country he no longer calls home? Or stay here and make more of himself chasing the American Dream?

Vargas did the latter. He has worked for many prestigious publications, such as Time Magazine and the Washington Post. He has had a very successful journalistic career and has put much of his credibility on the line for publishing his story in the New York Times last year.

Vargas states it very well in a September 2012 Time Magazine piece: “In a country that

believes in due process of the law, calling an immigrant illegal is akin to calling a defendant awaiting trial a criminal.”

In other words, saying someone is an il-legal immigrant isn’t accurate because they haven’t gone through a trial and been deemed “illegal.” Calling someone an “illegal immi-grant” would be like printing a headline stating a defendant is guilty before their trial is done.

At best, it’s inaccurate. At worst, it hurts those who are placed under this la-bel by placing them into a second-class social standing.

There’s a stigma attached to the term “illegal immigrant.” Those opposing immigration re-form conjure images of people illegally crossing a border, then taking away benefits they feel those immigrants aren’t entitled to.

That’s what this debate is re-ally about: entitlement. What entitles someone to citizenship? What deems someone illegal or legal?

Rather than discuss the poli-tics of immigration though, I want to focus on the politics of language. At best, “illegal im-migrant” is an umbrella term. The reasons in-dividuals decide to reside illegally in the U.S. vary widely. There isn’t just one narrative that accurately explains why someone is staying within our borders unlawfully.

Maybe they left their home country for a better life. If they’re like Vargas, maybe their parents sent them here for better educational opportunities.

The truth is the immigration narrative in

the United States has been consistent. If we look into our ancestor’s immigration stories, they often mirror those of undocumented im-migrants. They left their homelands for better opportunities not only for themselves, but also for their families.

The key difference between our ancestor’s immigration stories and those of recent immi-grants is the concept of documentation. Many immigrants, including some of our ancestors, entered this country without paperwork. If this weren’t the case, we’d all be able to pull out a flawless family tree, complete with the exact date our great-great-great grandparents entered the U.S. from their homelands.

Some of us can, and some of us can’t. Not that it matters, beyond satisfying potential curiosity about one’s ancestry. Regardless of our ancestors immigration methods, we accept their (and our) identity as American. The term “illegal immigrant” makes some new Americans seem undeserving of citizenship, linguistically speaking.

The language used to discuss immigra-tion has evolved at the same rapid pace the U.S. has since the country’s foundation more than two centuries ago. The discourse has changed from anti-Irish sentiment in the 1840s and ’50s, anti-Chinese immigration in the 1870s, anti-Russian immigration in the 1920s, and the anti-Japanese sentiment in the 1940s.

When you classify someone as “illegal,” you are making a bold and inappropriate statement. Somehow, a lack of proper paper-work has caused some Americans to create negative caricatures of undocumented immi-grants. It’s as if proper paperwork gives many a reason to empathize with their immigration, but a lack thereof fuels a hate-mongering fire.

The media’s consistent use of “illegal im-migrant” as a term is perpetuating the stigma attached to undocumented immigrants. Just because a culture deems certain immigrants or immigration methods more acceptable doesn’t mean that newspapers and other media outlets should show favorability.

In short, the rhetoric concerning new im-migrants changes constantly. Updating the currently-used “illegal immigrant” to “un-documented immigrant” would be a positive change.

I remember the brochures: “Since 1988, 98 percent of our students go on to a 4 year university.” A thorough list of sample colleges and universities followed. The hordes of devoted parents came to

buy some peace of mind. “Take my money! Just get my kid into a prestigious four-year university!” No one doubted that their kin-dergartener was destined for four or more years of post-high school education.

A college education has been enshrined as the key to a happy, productive life. For lower classes, attending college is a ticket to the middle class. And for those already comfortably middle class, it’s the default. Too many kids set off for college without a clear, realistic post-graduation plan.

Forty percent of entering students won’t graduate within six years. Many start off, and only after wasting years of their time, eventually decide college really wasn’t the best option after all.

With the expansion of access to public universities, attending college is no lon-ger reserved for the intellectual and eco-nomic elites of society – and rightfully so. Anyone who wants to go to college ought to have that opportunity. Unfortunately, lower admissions standards have also ac-companied that expanded access.

Newly admitted college students ranked in the bottom quartile of their

graduating high school class have just a 20 percent chance of completing a bachelor’s degree.

Though that figure reeks of confound-ing variables, such as the correlation be-tween a student’s ability to pay expensive university tuition and time spent studying, one must wonder whether all kids are aca-demically inclined.

That’s almost an offensive thing to say in today’s world. I feel like I might as well march around campus with a local neo-Nazi group for even considering the idea, but to say otherwise ignores humanity’s diversity. Some kids draw pleasure from understanding Deleuze, others would be content with exploring a local nature pre-serve and still others just want to party. You say everyone should like studying? Who’s the Nazi now? Hmmm?

Of course, no student should be de-clined if they have a thirst for the trivia taught in schools, but the fact is many young adults 18-22 years old just don’t. The physical and intangible rewards quickly fade for sending uninterested students off for another four years of lec-tures.

Yet, for even those students who man-age to graduate, our economy hasn’t kept pace. From 2001 to 2010, the number of high school grads pursuing an under-graduate degree has swelled 37 percent.

Meanwhile, the managerial, technical and professional jobs which college-grads expect lag behind.

Rather than fix the problems in their own system, declining secondary schools shuffle students off to colleges, who have responded to decreased funding by open-ing the doors to more students to what education reform reporter Craig Brandon calls the “Five Year Party,” bastardizing the meaning of “collegiate.”

In most other countries, students must decide far before sophomore year of college what they want to do with their professional lives.

The German model of education pro-vides a possible alternative. Compared to most Western European countries, Ger-many has fewer students in undergradu-ate school, but many more in post-high school vocational training. Many Ger-man high schoolers, for example, begin a system of apprenticeships under a “master crafts-man” in 10th grade their chosen field, while every-one takes classes relevant to their interests early on. This linking of education and practicality contrib-utes to Germany’s low un-employment rate of just 5.4 percent.

That’s not to say there aren’t any drawbacks to such a system. To go along with that, 60 percent of those who complete the apprentice system also change careers within 10 years, probably because of the lack of freedom and mobil-ity in the education system.

In addition, saying degrees exist pri-marily for employer’s sakes takes away from the whole “forging your path” and “discovering yourself” lines many direc-tionless college students (and professors) spout. In today’s technological world

where essentially unlimited information is available for free from a handful of websites, we can afford to divorce more whimsical learning from formal higher education.

Maybe many of my peers aren’t “un-motivated,” but rather “mis-motivated,”

a symptom of a society ir-rationally obsessed with sending its youth to a university. Luckily, eight of the 10 jobs expected to grow the most in the next decade don’t require a col-lege degree.

College enrollment ac-celerates every year, but student ability, desire and the number of jobs for degree holders has un-surprisingly not caught up. High schoolers need to make decisions earlier about what career path is

both realistic and pleasurable to them. This will likely mean more students en-rolling in two-year or otherwise voca-tional programs, saving kids from worth-less, oppressive loans and wasted time.

Federally backed research should

be free to allFinally, federally backed research is free.The White House announced last week that federally backed

research agencies with more than $100 million in expenditures will have one year to make everything free of cost – free to college students, free to fellow researchers and free to the plain curious.

The move is long overdue. Years ago, it cost real money to print academic journals. But

in an Internet age, this money simply doesn’t need to be spent anymore.

Increased accessibility to research articles could improve ex-isting research. It could help researchers to see what has already been done. It could speed up new research.

The decrease in cost will also greatly benefit students. Students are unlikely to have extra money to pay for scientific journals charging access fees. Without these fees being imposed, students’ capabilities to inform themselves will be vastly im-proved, not to mention the quality of their own research.

The Daily Nebraskan commends the White House for its decision.

Finally, this information will be where all information de-serves to be: totally free.

A few bright-colored lycra body suits, a catchy bass line and more flailing limbs than a rag doll in a laundry machine.

The formula for 24,000,000 views.

YouTube user “Filthy_Frank” has been showcasing craziness on his channel since 2008. Most vid-eos involve him and occasionally some friends screaming, dancing and throwing stuff with reckless abandon. He amassed 94,000 fol-lowers because of his antics, but remained a relatively small name among YouTube stars.

During one of his videos, sim-ply titled “DO THE HARLEM SHAKE,” he and three of his friends found themselves pelvic-thrusting along with the first 15 seconds of American trap artist Baauer’s “Harlem Shake.” At the 16 second mark, the bass drops and Frank and his pals absolutely lose it. Some of their moves are reminiscent of “the Bernie,” a dance based on the movie “Week-end at Bernie’s.”

Posted on Jan. 30, Frank’s video took off. Within the week, the video garnered hundreds of thousands of views and inspired thousands of copycats.

As the imitations collected, the structure for the video took shape. Typically, one costumed person will be dancing in the center of a group of unphased others for the first 15 seconds of the video. When the bass drops, the video cuts to the entire group dancing and wearing costumes.

Edit the audio so only the song can be heard, upload it and watch the views rack up.

Many variations have popped up: from three firefighters danc-ing in the front of their fire truck to a group of people doing the shake underwater. Many of these copycats have also garnered mil-lions of views, with three of the top 12 videos on YouTube this month being Harlem Shakes.

UNL has been no exception to the craze, with multiple videos

popping up from various clubs and organizations taking part.

Haley Whisennand, a junior journalism major, works in the athletic department as the media contact for the men’s gymnastic team. She helped to film their ver-sion of the Harlem Shake, which worked as both a promotional opportunity and a fun experience for the team.

“I didn’t even have to direct them,” Whisennand said. “We just played the music and they

did their thing.”Whisennand said the four co-

captains of the team approached her about making the video lon-ger than a traditional Harlem Shake spot. They felt it offered a good opportunity for publicity and could serve as a promotional piece for an upcoming meet. A couple hours later, she had the footage she needed.

When Whisennand edited and posted it, she said the team had moderate expectations for how

many people would see it.“We thought it would just get

shared around campus,” she said. “We never thought it would get national media attention.”

Since its posting on Feb. 18, the video has been featured on Huffington Post, CBS News, Buzzfeed, Perez Hilton’s blog and numerous smaller sites. It’s cur-rently sitting at more than 704,000 views. Whisennand was excited about the response it’s generated.

“The video shows off the

goofy, personable side of the guys, as well as their athletic side,” she said. “It’s been fun to watch how it’s been received.”

On a smaller scale, another video was created by employees of the UNL Computer Shop. Like other Shake videos, it features the employees not noticing a dancing figure, this time someone wearing a cell phone costume, then franti-cally dancing after the quick-cut.

Film inspires audience in

first screening

Last October, University of Nebras-ka-Lincoln film student Benito San-chez was given the opportunity of a lifetime and he dropped everything to take advantage.

Sanchez said he has been willing to sac-rifice his social and personal life to chase his dream of being a director and working on Al-exander Payne’s new film, “Nebraska,” as a camera production assistant was a chance to put his money where his mouth is.

“To hear (Payne) was making a movie about your home state, and his home state as well, is very exciting,” Sanchez said.

Sanchez learned Payne was filming the movie in Nebraska long before production started. He was determined to work on the set and emailed production companies trying to contact the right one. When he finally did, Sanchez sent Payne’s production company, Ad Hominem Productions, a picture of him with the director, taken at the State Capitol from a public meeting a few years before. Sanchez explained he would do anything to help with the production.

At about the same time, Sanchez was of-fered an internship through school to work on the movie. But it fell through and he was back at square one. Sanchez signed up for classes and attended the first couple weeks of school.

“I was just kind of going through the mo-tions because in my head I was going to be working on this film, not sitting in a class-room,” he said.

About a week before production on “Ne-braska” began, a representative of Ad Homi-nem called Sanchez to offer him the position of assistant camera. He accepted the job and took the semester off from school.

According to Ian Borden, assistant pro-fessor at the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film, students receiving such high pro-file opportunities isn’t common.

“(The) expectation (of the school) is for success rather than being shocked by it,” Bor-den said.

As Sanchez’s Intro to The-atre professor, Borden was ex-cited to find out his pupil was given this chance.

“There was sort of a mo-ment where he really figured things out as a student and as a designer and just started to fly,” Borden said. “Benito (went) from really struggling to when he first arrived here to being one of the top stu-dents, that’s delightful and it made me really happy to hear he was on the production.”

And it’s not as though Sanchez’s academic experiences at UNL were entirely separate from his time on Payne’s set.

“Being in film school has put me at the right place at the right time a lot of times,” he said. “When people hear that you’re in film school and you’re eager to learn, I feel that opens doors for you.”

While on set, Sanchez had numerous jobs as assistant camera. He made sure camera batteries were charged, video monitors were lined up correctly and cables were out of people’s way.

“Everybody is competing for space and we were in such tight locations,” he said. “It

was imperative to work fast and be stealthy and just be out of the way.”

One of the most important connections to come out of his job was acting as the per-sonal assistant to cinematographer Phedon Papamichael.

“He is a huge deal and I was his assistant; just lowly me from Lincoln, Nebraska,” San-chez said.

Papamichael has worked as the cinema-tographer for well-known movies, such as

“Sideways,” “The Pursuit of Happyness,” “The Descen-dants” and “Walk the Line.” Sanchez was honored to work with such an esteemed profes-sional in the world of film and now considers Papamichael his friend.

“If something wasn’t right he would definitely let you know,” Sanchez said. “There were plenty of days he would let me know. On the other hand, be-ing able to work so closely with Phedon was really a blessing because he’s so well respected in the industry. He’s worked on these huge movies. It’s in-

credible.”Working with Payne was also a learning

experience for Sanchez. He said Payne would greet everyone with a handshake or hug every morning and remembered the names of every-one on the crew.

“It would bring a tone of politeness and kindness to set that really affected everybody else,” Sanchez said. “People would tell me how nice of a head director he is and how spoiled I was that this was my first feature film.”

Sanchez enjoyed working with Payne for the type of directing he does. Sanchez’s own films are character-driven and he said Payne

gave him a lot of advice on how to make his movies better.

“(Payne’s) movies aren’t necessarily flashy in any sense, but he really gets to the character and shows the characters really well,” Sanchez said. “He shows an arc for those characters. He makes you care about those characters. He just has very quirky and interesting movies because his characters are so … believable, but they’re also off-the-wall. I really like his movies because of that.”

Sanchez was on primary production for 36 days. Every morning five days a week, Sanchez would be up at 5 a.m. and already working by the time most of the crew was eating breakfast. He routinely spent 16 hours on set.

He was then asked to join extra production for two weeks. During this time, Sanchez and other members of the crew made the drive be-tween Nebraska and Montana to capture road trip shots.

“That was really flattering because they thought I was doing something right,” Sanchez said.

He was able to spend time with a lot of professionals during the road trip and formed relationships with them.

“You step back and are like ‘I’m sur-rounded by these incredibly successful peo-ple and I’m just hanging out with them and they’ve accepted me as someone that they want to hang out with,’” he said.

Sanchez has been able to keep in touch with a couple of his coworkers from “Ne-braska,” mainly Papamichael. He follows Sanchez on Instagram and “likes” a lot of his posts.

“It will be up to me to do the work and really prove myself,” Sanchez said. “I think a lot of them saw how hard I worked on this

Movies make us laugh and cry. Some movies teach lessons. Others inspire us to take action in our own lives.

Alexander Jeffery’s first ever feature film, “One Way,” is proving to do all of the above.

Following a recent screening, one audience member texted his friend, an actress in the movie, to tell her the movie pushed him to move to Denver like he’s always wanted to.

“That it actually evoked change in one person, that’s the biggest compliment I could ever get,” Jef-fery said. “It’s insane.”

“One Way” – just accepted for a private screening at the Omaha Film Festival – follows Stephen,

played by Jeffery, as he tries to find out exactly what he wants in life. Jeffery and his crew of mostly Uni-versity of Nebraska-Lincoln alumni and students shot the movie last summer in 13 days. Jeffery moved to Los Angeles for the movie’s post-production, which wrapped up early this year.

Jeffery said he connects deeply with the script he wrote.

“Stephen’s arc is pretty relatable to everybody,” Jeffery said, “Feeling trapped or feeling like you could be more if you lived somewhere else. Getting out of the town you grew up in.”

In the original script, Stephen’s journey to find himself was based around partying. Jeffery said he re-wrote the script with co-writer, ex-ecutive producer and actress Becky Key Boesen after attending last year’s Omaha Film Festival.

“At the end of the day, the films I connect with the most are the qui-et, simple ones and I think that can be said for this movie,” he said.

One Way had a small crew of

UNL alumni and students, includ-ing Brian Watt, a cinematographer and executive producer. Watt is a biomedical engineering graduate student at UNL and said he uses cinematography as a creative out-let.

Watt followed in his father’s footsteps and took up photogra-phy at a young age, being recog-nized as one of the top 10 non-masters in the state of Nebraska at age 12. At 19, he became a cer-tified professional photographer.

Watt said photography and cinematography use the many of the same ideas and principles, which helped him while shooting “One Way.”

“I’ve gotten pretty good feed-

back,” Watt said. “I guess I don’t know that my friends would tell me I produced a bad film, but audience members have left comments about how much they loved the cinematography.”

Shooting a feature film in two weeks was a “blur” for both Jeffery and Watt, who are room-mates. Watt said they would load up his Volkswagen full of lights and cameras and equipment and drive from location to location. Seventy percent of the movie was shot in the first week alone.

Locations included their home, a friend’s home, the Lin-coln airport and Wyuka cemetery as well as a few locations in Oma-ha.

Both Jeffery and Watt said working with the crew was the best part of making “One Way.”

“It’s a fun environment,” Watt said. “Everybody’s on the same page, working really quickly. At the end of the day, it was awesome just being able to say you did it.”

Jeffery said the fact that most of the crew had graduated from the same class at UNL made it easier.

“In terms of shooting and mak-ing this happen, it was something we had all done before together so we were like a well-oiled ma-chine,” he said.

Now that “One Way” has been selected for a private screening at the festival on March 10, which means no other movies play at the

same time, the crew’s anticipation is building, as more and more peo-ple will see the film.

Jeffery said just watching the movie with an audience again will be a treat. He learns most what works and what doesn’t by see-ing their reaction – something he looks forward to.

“This private screening will hopefully bring in more people (who) might not have been able to have time otherwise to see it,” Watt said. “But our goal ultimately is to get into at least a few more festi-vals.”

movie and hopefully recommend me for stuff in the future.”

Now, Sanchez is back in school and working on his senior thesis project. He said he’s been able to apply what he learned on the set of “Nebraska” to his film “STARV-ING.”

“I think it’s changed my life for the better,” he said. “I (got) to see how a Hollywood picture is done, because they were using profes-sional cameras and lights and I got to see how it was coordinated. That’s a huge thing because I’m able to see how these bigger pro-ductions do it and take those things I observed and apply those to the movies I make.”

To help raise money for his

film, Sanchez has a Kickstarter ac-count.

“The more money I can get, the better production I can make,” he said.

Borden said students who go the extra mile, like Sanchez is with his Kickstarter, show how much passion they have for their craft.

“It speaks to the ambition to some of our students,” Borden said. “They’re not content to work just within the parameters offered within the program funding, but to seek outside funding as well so they can go above and beyond and create more elaborate projects.”

“Crysis 3” is a sharp-dressed game.

When the first title launched in 2007, “Can it run ‘Crysis’?” became the slogan for PC power fiends everywhere. The visuals astounded audiences for years and still eclipse the capabilities of modern consoles.

But with developer Crytek’s third entry, the looks alone – somehow more impressive than ever – aren’t enough to make ev-ery girl crazy.

The tale revolves around Prophet, a man hell-bent on de-stroying aliens and the CELL Corporation embedded in an overgrown and abandoned New York City. He also doesn’t know what he is.

See, Prophet wears a suit, not of silk, but of synthetic su-per human material mixed with Ceph alien matter. He is the suit. After committing suicide in the second game, the body-enhancing gear captured his essence, ready for him to take control of whoever donned it next.

“Nanosuit 2.0” as the outfit’s called, allows Prophet to interact with the invaders’ technology, which – to the horror and confu-sion of his fellow sidekicks – si-multaneously exposes him to the invasive alien hive-mind.

“Is it Ceph, CELL?” tele-graphs a character midway through the game. “Is it even hu-man?”

Sure, “Crysis 3” features themes of corrupt corporation meddling, what it means to be hu-man and a soldier’s sacrifice, but it explores each at surface level in

dejecting self-seriousness.The ZZ Top-infused market-

ing behind “Crysis 3” serves as a fitting reflection for where the tone falters. In these commercials (the soul of the series) its absurdly powerful suit, is highlighted with flair.

An invisibility cloak and bul-let-deflecting armo; players’ gold watch and diamond ring; speed, power and agility; and cufflinks, top coat and hat come together at the will of each player. Their dy-namic, situational uses create the

excitement that drives the game until its lackluster conclusion.

When the characters aren’t busy delivering typical dialogue, “Crysis 3” shines. The tactical depth provided by the suit’s pow-ers and the on-the-fly weapon customization turn each environ-ment into a playground of creativ-ity and visual splendor. At any time during the action, players can adapt their weaponry to fit combat situations and their style preference.

The trailer for “Crysis 3”

redresses areas of the game in brighter lighting to match the charming absurdity of its no-look helicopter takedowns and dirt-off-your-shoulder swipes. It fits. I want to play that game, not the one in which its dark atmo-sphere and lush settings outclass the sour storyline.

Granted, changing the tone from the previous entries would leave “Crysis 3” in a severe iden-tity crys … situation, so execut-ing on a challenging narrative should’ve been crucial.

While singleplayer loses its luster, even within its roughly six-hour length, “Crysis 3” fea-tures as robust an online offering as players will find anywhere. All the persistent ranking, weap-on, ability and gear unlocks that have become the first person shooter staples are present. Sev-eral maps and game types, in combination with the Nanosuit, provide fast-paced tactics and ac-tion.

One game type, “Hunter Mode,” involves two invisible,

suit-wearing hunters with com-pound bows tracking down and killing other, non-suit-adorned players. Once dead, those players become hunters as well, attempt-ing to finish off the diminishing survivors. Who doesn’t love fa-tal hide-and-seek with bow-and-arrows?

“Can it run ‘Crysis’?” is just the phrase a developer wants to surround its game. It means that title is an industry benchmark, something every other’s will be compared to.

Once you play the game, though, the visual impact softens, leaving high-tech clothing to car-ry the experience. After enough wears, even the slickest outfits fade.

“Crysis 3” certainly looks sharp, but is still lookin’ for love.

Harvey, this one’s for you.Thank you for preemptively

canceling school last Thursday. That was really cool, dude! Even though it didn’t start actually snowing until well into the after-noon, I didn’t want to go to class at all and I didn’t have to! Guilt free!

But let’s go back to the night before our snow day for an ex-amination of what was going on. Everyone was hunkering down for the worst storm to ever hit the Bible belt, clearing the shelves of local grocers, salting their spare salmon and deer meat in case of prolonged encapsulation in the home and letting their loved ones know that if the snow should be-come too heavy and crush us all, their love would be heavier still.

Students were no exception and an atmosphere of anxious discon-tent hung over cam-pus all Wednesday. As the storm ap-proached, so did the discontent; we all knew we’d have school tomorrow, come snow or come even more snow. As other school systems fell like dominos around us, University of Nebraska-Lincoln held steadfast, galvanized in its determination to be open Thursday by an email from our chancellor.

Enraged, many students took to social media to air their griev-ances. Posts about how students would be skipping class either way were commonplace and many others questioned whether UNL cared about its students as much as it claimed.

On Twitter, the hashtag #Har-veyCloseUNL caught on. Hun-dreds of tweets popped up bear-ing the hashtag, some funny, some vicious. I myself wrote a few, the best of which was some absurd malarkey about purposely dying of exposure to allow my-self to haunt Perlman (it got 11 retweets and 9 favorites, making it the most popular tweet I’ve ever written.) (Yes, I keep track.) (I know.)

More and more people started calling out Perlman, including

Husker defensive end Cameron Meredith. There was a sense of fun and unity with the tweets.

Look at us all banding to-gether to avoid school tomorrow. Sure, there was an occasional un-called-for tweet saying Perlman should have violence inflicted upon him, with one tweet say-ing Perlman should lose his head over this (Person who wrote that tweet, you lost YOUR head over this! Zing!), but in general, it was fun to watch the tweets come in.

Eventually UNL caved and students let out a collective sigh of relief. Slumber parties were planned, alcohol was consumed, homework was ignored and all was right in the world.

I want to go back and touch on the feeling of unity #Harvey-CloseUNL gave us, though. Jux-tapose that with the typical reac-tion of Internet users when any sort of controversy arises. When something is collectively disliked on the Internet, the general reac-tion is hatred. Have you ever read the comment section on YouTube or Reddit or any given news site? Comments tend to range from “this sucks” to “I will dismantle your entire family limb by limb.” There’s never that underlying sense of fun that was found on Twitter Wednesday night.

Would people have been pissed if we had school? You know it, but in those moments before the cancellation, there was more humor than vitriol to be found on social net-works.

Maybe it’s us having a bit of loyal-ty to the university we all attend. Like a parent punishing its

child for being naughty, there was more a sense of disappointment than anger. We knew that even if we had to angrily drag ourselves to class via unsafe roads and un-shoveled sidewalks, this was still our school and it would continue to be.

Maybe it’s that we’re all su-per keen to be popular on social networks and we knew humor tends to be rewarded with more retweets than animosity.

Either way, it was a neat expe-rience to be a part of. It felt like the same kind of bonding experi-ence you usually don’t encounter unless the Huskers have wildly defeated a good opponent in foot-ball or something.

So good job, y’all. We should it again sometime.

A STUDY IN SCARLET

yuliya petrovadn

At a time when most kids are asking to borrow their parents’ cars, Omaha student Kate Walz has already shown a collection during New York Fashion Week for the Plitz fashion show.

The 16-year-old Walz is no be-ginner when it comes to creating a collection.

In that short time, she has pro-gressed into a veteran designer, having featured collections at 25 or 30 shows so far. It all began at 3 years old when Walz was just sketching dresses.

By 8 years old, Walz began sewing in the 4-H club. She said learning the sewing basics early and well is just as vital as design-ing the garment.

“Being able to construct a gar-ment is really important,” Walz said. “Even if you have all these people working for you – but can’t sew the garment yourself – then you won’t be able to explain ex-actly what you want it done.”

She made her first pattern at 12 years old and started selling her designs in local boutiques. A year later, Walz reached a local milestone when she became the youngest designer to show a col-lection at Omaha Fashion Week.

This year will mark Walz’s sev-enth collection shown at the bi-annual Omaha Fashion Week event, and she will exhibit pieces inspired by 1960s New York City culture.

The collection prominently fea-tures reds, blacks and champagne and fabrics such as organza and faux-leather. Walz will even model her prized garment: the evening gown.

“She’s really good at comple-menting everyone’s body style,”

one of Walz’s mod-els Miranda Tingley said. “I think all her dresses would look a w e s o m e on all dif-ferent types of body styles.”

Walz ex-plained how she sees her historical in-spirations in

the clothing.“I used hard lines to repre-

sent architecture of New York,

softer details and colors to rep-resent Central Park in the fall and the actual silhouette of the garments are ’60s inspired,” she said.

Sarah Stepanek, a 15-year-old from Omaha, also models for Walz.

“She has really classy designs that women of all ages can wear,” Stepanek said.

Even if the runway exhibition will be the focus this week, Walz said she pays special attention to dress details an observer could only see from up close.

“She doesn’t just follow the trends that are going on around her, she kind of invents her own thing,” Tingley said.

As her New York City ap-pearance might suggest, Walz’s

ambitions extend well beyond this week. She wants to continue learning and applying her fash-ion experiences toward her fu-ture career goal of owning bou-tiques at the international level.

She said once she graduates high school, she will pursue fash-ion wisdom in New York. She hopes Parsons, The New School for Design or the Fashion Insti-tute of Technology.

From Omaha to New York City and beyond, Walz’s ambi-tions in the industry are coupled with an optimistic, youthful spirit.

“It’s what I love to do, so it’s not really work for me, it’s just fun,” Walz said.

“Conveniently, the store was closed that day,” said Nick Hutchinson, a senior business administration major. “If we wanted this to work, we knew we had to jump on it fast, be-cause this is just a fad.”

Part of the fun of the videos is seeing the variety of costumes people wear. Hutchinson took an iPad and tucked it into his hoodie to cover his face. On the screen? Nicolas Cage’s face. An-other employee did the same, the only change being Sean Connery instead of Cage.

Molly Mahannah, a fellow coworker and senior journalism major, can be spotted in the back of room, dancing in footie paja-mas.

“As soon as the idea was brought up, I was like, ‘dibs on the onesie!’” Mahannah said. “I apparently have no shame.”

One of the biggest challenges of making a Harlem Shake video is holding a straight face during the first 15 sec-onds. Mahannah said it was “a little awkward.”

“We were all cracking up,” she said. “The first take it seemed like no one really knew what to do. People were a little weird about being on camera.”

They pushed through the gig-gles and got it done. The video currently has about 1,200 views.

For all the views these videos have gathered, they’ve also ac-crued critics.

“The (original) Harlem Shake

should’ve just been a goofy-ass video on YouTube that people giggled at and never thought of

again,” Ga-briel Gauthi-er, a freshman physics major said. “For some reason, people felt the need to do medio-cre spin-offs, thousands of them. And, s o m e h o w , they end up all being the exact same video.”

Gauthier said he thought the Harlem Shake had caught on so quickly because it’s easy to ape something that already has pop-ularity.

“The reason memes, even bad ones, spread like wildfire is be-cause they’re readily identifiable, and easily imitable,” Gauthier said. “It’s a very low-risk form of attention-seizing.”

Gauthier said part of their popularity is partly because “people just enjoy being goofy.”

“Obviously, a lot of people think it really is funny, and maybe it is,” he said. “I guess it’s just not my cup of tea.”

Enjoyable or not, the videos have made a large impact on the internet and different versions continue to pour in. All because four friends thought it’d be fun-ny to wear tight clothing and dance.

Often in the world of college sports, it’s easy to forget athletes are stu-dents as well. For members of the Nebraska women’s tennis team, they know what it’s like to not only perform on the court but also in the classroom.

“We may love playing tennis, but we know our grades come first,” se-nior Mary Weatherholt said.

The women’s tennis team’s aca-demic achievements prove her point.

For the past two years, the women’s tennis team has been the recipient of the Herman Team GPA Award, which is awarded at the annual Nebraska Student-Athletic Banquet.

To attend the banquet, each ath-lete must have received a GPA of 3.00 or higher. The Herman Team GPA award is honored to a UNL men and women’s team with the highest overall team GPA. For the 2011-2012 season, the women’s ten-nis team won the award with a 3.64 team GPA. It marked their second-consecutive Herman Award. The team hopes to receive it again this year in April.

Aside from winning as many matches as possible, Nebraska coach Scott Jacobson said the goal

is to receive the Herman Team GPA Award. He has faith in his team’s academic abilities.

“Most tennis players are strong academically speaking … Generally, the girls are disciplined in both ten-nis and academics,” Jacobson said.

“I definitely think we’re all aca-demically focused. That’s why (the team) won the Herman Award,” freshman Maggy Lehmicke said.

This is Lehmicke’s first year on Nebraska tennis team. One her de-ciding factors for choosing to play for the Huskers was that they showed academic excellence. She knew coming in they had won the Herman Team GPA Award.

“I remember coach had told me they won the award and I was im-pressed,” Lehmicke said.

Also notable are the amount of in-ternational students on the team. Four out of the eight girls are from another country, which means they are taking classes in a second language.

“I’m always impressed with my international teammates,” Weather-holt said. “They’re taking difficult classes in a second language and are

still successful in their academics.” The women tend to keep aca-

demics and tennis separate, but they know they go hand-in-hand, Lehm-icke said. Many times, they study to-gether at downtown coffee shops or in the stadium. Some of them have classes together, which helps to mo-tivate them.

Achieving good grades isn’t something forced upon the athletes. Athletes must keep a 2.0 GPA to play, but they don’t have to attain

a 3.64 if they don’t want to. It’s self-driven.

“We don’t look at each other and say we’ve got to get a 3.7… I think our (ac-ademic success) says a lot about our team. My teammates know how to balance what’s important,” Lehmicke said.

This season will continue to have its ups and downs on the court, but the Husker women’s ten-nis team is looking forward to April for the student athletic banquet, and hopefully, another Herman Award.

“We want to win the Herman Award again,” Weatherholt said.

What are the facts?Founded in Egypt in 1928, the Muslim

Brotherhood has been an immensely powerful forcein Middle East politics, now boasting chapters in 80countries. Its mission statement: “Allah is ourobjective; the Quran is our constitution, the Prophet isour leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake ofAllah is the highest of our aspirations.”

The Brotherhood’s founder, Hassan al-Banna, statedthat the group’s goal was tocreate an empire governedby Islamic religious lawand an autocratic caliphate.He claimed “It is in thenature of Islam todominate, not to bedominated, to impose its law on all nations and toextend its power to the entire planet.”

In 1948, a member of the Muslim Brotherhoodassassinated the Egyptian Prime Minister, and thegroup was been banned in Egypt in 1954, after itattempted to assassinate Egyptian President GamalAbdel Nasser. A Brotherhood splinter groupassassinated President Anwar Sadat in 1981.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s most influential leaderwas Sayyid Qutb, a racist, anti-Semite, misogynist andhater of the United States. His pro-Islamist and anti-Western hatred had enormous influence on AymanZawahiri, who went on to become a key mentor ofOsama bin Laden and is today the number-two leaderof al-Qaeda.

Despite its murderous history, the MuslimBrotherhood claims to have renounced violence—butit makes notable exceptions, including approval ofterrorist acts by its Palestinian wing, Hamas, whosecharter calls for the murder of Jews and theobliteration of Israel. What’s more, former MuslimBrotherhood Supreme Commander Muhammed MadhiAkef declared he was “prepared to send 10,000 jihadfighters immediately to fight at the side of Hezbollah”during the Lebanese terrorist group’s 2006 war againstIsrael.

Given its history of murder and warlike declarations,the Brotherhood’s claim to non-violence rings false.Consider finally a September 2010 sermon by MuslimSupreme Guide Muhammed Badi, who explained the“change that the [Muslim] nation seeks can only beattained through jihad . . . by raising a jihadigeneration that pursues death just as our enemies

pursue life.” While many pundits have declared the Brotherhood

a moderate group, it is working rapidly to seizeabsolute control of Egypt, starting with a newconstitution that favors Islamists and gives presidentMorsi power to name the prime minister, SupremeCourt judges and heads of all public institutions.Parliamentary elections, to have been held in February,are postponed indefinitely. There have been four times

as many “insulting thepresident” lawsuits inMorsi’s first days in officethan in all 30 years offormer president HosniMubarek’s reign.

We know that theBolsheviks in Russia, Nazis in Germany, Islamists inIran, and Hamas in the disputed Palestinian territoriesall started out as minority parties whose rise to powerduring political upheaval began democratically andended in dictatorship—following the insidious patternof “one man, one vote, one time.” Given the MuslimBrotherhood’s Islamist philosophy, we can expect thesame in Egypt.

What can we expect from the president Morsi’sgovernment? In 2006, the Muslim Brotherhooddemanded that Egypt develop nuclear weapons.Recently a Brotherhood leader told interviewers thatabolishing the Egyptian peace treaty with Israel wouldbe one of the new government’s first orders of businessand that Egypt should prepare for war with Israel. In2010 Morsi himself called on Egyptians to “nurse ourchildren and grandchildren on hatred” of Jews andreferred to Zionists as “descendants of apes and pigs.”

For Christians, who make up 10 percent of theEgyptian population and continue to be victims ofviolent attacks, rule by the Brotherhood is anightmare, curtailing their rights to worship publiclyor hold high office. As for women, the Brotherhoodinsists that they be segregated, their bodies covered inpublic, and that girls undergo genital mutilation.

To assess the Muslim Brotherhood’s commitment todemocracy, we should heed the words of its SpiritualLeader Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who maintains that “Thecivilizational-jihadist process . . . is a kind of grandjihad in eliminating and destroying the Westerncivilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserablehouse . . . so that it is eliminated and God’s religion ismade victorious over all other religions.”

You deserve a factual look at . . .

The Truth About the Muslim BrotherhoodIs it a moderate Egyptian party committed to democracy . . .

or a jihadist group seeking to create an Islamist empire?

With the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohammed Morsi now president of Egypt, many wonder whether he will promotedemocracy and Middle East peace. But what do the Muslim Brotherhood’s history and its leaders’ pronouncementstell us? Is their goal to create a free democratic system . . . or hijack democracy in the service of an Islamistrevolution?

While some pundits minimize the Muslim Brotherhood’s threat, there’s no doubt that the group fanaticallyopposes the United States, Israel and Western values, or that it will use both democratic and violent means todefeat them. Nor should we doubt that the Brotherhood is a powerful, well-organized political force that, if givenenough power, would use it to crush the democratic process and turn Egypt into an anti-Western, fundamentalistIslamic state. Can we afford this risk?

What are the chances a Colom-bian student with extensive na-tional and international bowling experience comes to Nebraska?

“We actually have two girls from Colombia, and in the small world of bowling, both domes-tically and internationally, we have been lucky to get people from around the world,” Nebras-ka coach Bill Straub said.

Sophomore Andrea Ruiz is one such case. An in-ternational student from Colombia, Ruiz joined the Huskers this year after attend-ing Bogota Central College in Colombia.

“She just kind of fell out of the sky,” Straub said. “She came here for an ac-celerated English pro-gram and contacted me one day and asked to be on the team. And now, she’s a starter.”

Ruiz has been bowling since she was a child, and what started out as just a pastime developed into a passion.

“Well, my whole family

bowls – my grandfather, my par-ents. So since I was 6-years old, I bowled with them, for recreation mostly,” Ruiz said. “Then I start-ed to compete locally. This last year I was a part of the Colom-bian Youth Selection Team, and I’m a part of it again this year.”

Even with her international experience and standing as a member of a national team, Ruiz has made Nebraska a priority this year.

“My focus is on bowling for Nebraska, because some of the

tournaments are at the same time, I know Huskers are my prior-ity,” Ruiz said.

This bodes well for the Huskers, who are having a strong season and can benefit from Ruiz’s ability.

“It’s been a pro-ductive season, and I think the team is go-ing well,” Straub said. “My first impression [of Ruiz] is that we are very fortunate to have

her.”As for Ruiz, being able to bowl

was a college necessity. This was smething she looked into long be-fore choosing school in Nebraska.

“I knew that I wanted to go to

college in the United States, so I did some research and a friend of mine who had gone here contact-ed me with the coach’s informa-tion,” Ruiz said. “So I called him and said, ‘Hi coach, can I bowl here?’”

Since then, Ruiz has solidified her spot on the team, despite hav-ing to adjust to a new country, lan-guage and customs.

“I think this season is going great. The beginning of the season was kind of hard because there were a lot of changes and having to get used to things, but at this point everything is great,” Ruiz said. “I have great communica-tion with my coach and my team-mates.”

The team hopes to be invited to attend the national champion-ships later this year, an honor only the top-eight teams in the country receive.

“I hope that we can make it to nationals and win. I know we have a great team with a great skill set,” Ruiz said.

Ruiz’s plan is to continue to do what she does best.

“I don’t have any rituals be-fore a tournament or do anything special during practice or any-thing; I just bowl,” she said

Nebraska is 5-0 over the Hawk-eyes in Big Ten play, and while streaks are meant to be broken, Ne-braska simply has Iowa’s number; NU cruises to the semi-finals.

Next, the Huskers are probable to play either Purdue or Illinois, de-pending on who clinches the No. 3 seed. Illinois’ defense fooled Ne-braska when they played earlier in the year, but luckily for the Huskers, I think Purdue breaks out of its trance to secure the three-spot.

Nebraska has a history with Purdue already, having played three overtime games against the Boiler-makers in the last two seasons. But Nebraska is also a much different team than it lost to Purdue early in

the season. If the Huskers can find the basket early, I see them winning this match-up.

Assuming Penn State stays dominant and runs its side of the bracket that leaves a Husker-Nittany Lion Big Ten champi-onship game.

In the third game of the season be-tween these two teams, I can only go with Penn State. As of now, Nebraska has proved to be one of the hottest teams in the Big Ten, has found de-fensive rhythm and is balancing of-fensive production.

But the Huskers haven’t proven

to be able to hang with the Nittany Li-ons, yet. Penn State has all the factors;

physical presence inside, perimeter shooting and speed.

As I said, though, Sunday’s match-up could stir up an al-ready mixed-up con-ference.

Now I’ll go watch the last week

of regular season games throw a curveball at my projections.

to be progressively declining, Harriman said.

“I thought we did a better job the first time we played them … keeping them out of the paint,” Harriman said. “Like I said be-fore they’re a team that can get it going. I think our defense just dictated our lack of offense.”

The Huskers wouldn’t score another field goal until another six minutes and by then, Wiscon-sin stretched its lead to 36 points. The Huskers would go on to make another basket to make it 64-40 but the attempt at a come-back was far too late.

The Badgers outscored the Husk-ers 33-23 in the second half, while also outrebounding them 22-18.

The Huskers gave the ball up 10 times and surrendered 12 three-pointers on the night.

“When Wisconsin makes threes, they can hurt you in a lot of ways,” Miles said. “Even their centers move without the ball.”

The Badgers’ win decreased Nebraska’s chances of playing in the NCAA or NIT tournaments at the end of the season.

Senior forward Dylan Tal-ley led Nebraska with 21 points in the game, leading the offense for the fifth-consecutive game in scoring.

If the Huskers hope to win against their conference foes, they can’t rely on only one player to score consistently, Harriman said.

“We got to take more pride in a Nebraska jersey,” he said. “It’s unacceptable to have that kind of effort we had tonight.”

The exasperating loss has Miles and staff eager to put this game be-hind them and see his team duke it out this weekend against Illinois.

Nebraska will try and bounce back into the winning column when it plays the Fighting Illini this Saturday in Champaign, Ill.

“That’s the glory of college basketball,” he said. “You have an-other game four days later. We just got to bounce back, give it another shot and find a way to get back on track.”

nebraska’s chances of playing in the postseason got slim-mer Tuesday night.

The Huskers (13-15 overall, Big Ten 4-11) took a beating by No. 17 Wiscon-

sin (20-8, 11-4 Big Ten), losing it’s Tuesday evening match 77-46. The 31-point loss was the largest deficit Nebraska’s suffered this season.

After coming back from 19 points to win against Iowa over the weekend, the of-fensive debacle against Wisconsin was not something Nebraska coach Tim Miles and staff had in mind.

“We were as bad as the weather here is in town,” Miles said after the game. “It

was disappointing, no doubt about it. We just weren’t ready to compete the way we needed to, to be successful.”

The Huskers finished the game shoot-ing just 32.8 percent from the floor com-pared to a Wisconsin offense that convert-ed 50.9 percent of its field goals.

The Nebraska offense appeared dis-combobulated from the tip-off.

The Badger offense began on a 6-0 run and stretched its lead to 21-12 after 10 min-utes of play. Freshman Sam Dekker and sophomore guard Traevon Jackson racked up 13 and seven points, respectively, to head into the locker room with a 44-23 lead over Nebraska.

The Husker defense allowed six turn-overs and eight Wisconsin three-pointers to assist the Badgers to a 59.3 shooting per-

centage in the first half.“We talked a lot about defending the

three,” Nebraska assistant coach Chris Harriman said. “Obviously, that was a re-occurring thing tonight. They hit us and we didn’t respond.”

And things only got worse for the road

team in the second half. Wisconsin began the second half simi-

lar to the first half, breaking out to a 9-0 run before Husker senior Brandon Ubel scored Nebraska’s first points at the 14:10 mark.

young women golfers go through learning phase matt DUren

dn

There is always a learning curve when it comes to jumping from high school to college sports.

For seven members of the Ne-braska women’s golf team, that curve has been in full effect over the course of this season.

Seven of the nine golf team members are considered freshman – four are true freshmen and three are redshirt freshmen.

Nebraska women’s golf coach Robin Krapfl has called this sea-son a process with so many young players.

“It is definitely an exercise of patience,” Krapfl said with a chuckle. “There is a lot for these girls to learn to play the game. There are higher expectations when you get to this level.”

Those higher expectations come from now being at a uni-versity like Nebraska. Krapfl said there is a major difference when it comes to playing in college rather than high school.

It is a bigger learning curve when factoring in more than just sports also.

As a student-athlete, the aca-demic load is a big adjustment. More work is expected in and out of the classroom. Sports also take a large amount of time.

There is one other major differ-ence, Krapfl said.

“In a way, these girls are alone down here,” Krapfl said. “When they are back at home, they have their parents, and that plays a big part. But here, they don’t have their parents, and they are doing things on their own.”

The coach said, for the most part, the freshman have handled it as well as they could have.

Cassie Deeg has been one who has handled it and then some.

She made a ma-jor impact early on during her colle-giate career at Ne-braska.

The true fresh-man from Hugo, Minn., played out of the top two spots in the Husker line-up in each of the Huskers five fall tournaments. Deeg, who owns the No. 2 stroke aver-age (76.33) on the season, had her career-best score of 221 (75-70-76) at the Price’s “Give ‘Em Five” Invi-tational in Las Cruces, N.M.

“Cassie will push our juniors for the top spot in our lineup, which is great,” Krapfl said. “As a

coach, it is great to see that. She is a very good golfer, with good length and solid play in all areas of the game.”

Some of that success can be credited toward the two juniors, the leaders of the team.

“Steffi (Nieson) and Katelyn (Wright) are great leaders,” Krapfl said. “They work hard, have a good attitude and I think that rubs

off on the freshman. They help out the younger girls a lot.”

With only two upperclassmen on the roster, though, it gives the fresh-men much needed and beneficial expe-rience.

There is only so much they can do practicing at home and they can feel pressure to play at the next level. Krap-fl said she also gets to see how good of a tournament play-

er they are. Junior Steffi Neisen said the ex-

perience the freshmen are getting is a great opportunity for them.

“I think, for them, it is a great thing,” Neisen said. “To get expe-rience early can benefit you a lot, and I think it can help us as a team

a lot in the coming years.”Although the women’s golf

team fields a very young and in-experienced team, Krapfl likes the

potential of the freshmen. “I think the potential of the

younger girls is tremendous,” Krapfl said. “I think if they put

in the work, they will be a strong group.”


kyle cummingsMark down March 3 on your calen-dar.

The Nebraska women’s basket-ball team has a rematch against No. 7 Penn State in the regular season finale.

In the first meeting this season between the top two predicted Big Ten teams, Penn State literally stole a win from the Huskers. And I don’t mean Nebraska got screwed. I mean Penn State’s 13 steals in the game was the difference.

I know senior guard Lindsey Moore, who is in the running for the Nancy Lieberman award for the best point guard in the nation, and greatly improved freshman Rachel Theriot will be licking their chops to get back on the court after combin-ing for nine turnovers in the Jan. 18, match-up.

Next Sunday’s game will tell us a lot about the Big Ten conference.

Nebraska and Penn State have secured first-round byes in the Big Ten tournament, which runs March 7-10. I would have to think they’re pretty solidly set as the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds next week, but after they’ve secured the bye, seeding is far from the most important factor in a clustered conference.

Momentum is huge in basket-ball, though. We’ve seen that with Nebraska’s nine-consecutive victo-ries and Purdue’s semi-meltdown in losing four of their last six games.

After March 3, somebody will be flying into Chicago with confi-dence and the other will enter next weekend with a black-eye.

Sure, Penn State is good – far and away the best in the Big Ten, but the Nittany Lions aren’t bullet-proof.

Their only conference loss came to a sub-.500 Wisconsin squad – one of three of the Badger’s Big Ten wins. Penn State has also strug-gled against teams like Michigan, when it failed to put up 60 points, or Northwestern, when it snuck by with a four-point win over the Wild-cats.

Still, a win over Penn State to top off an eleven-game winning streak (assuming Nebraska is able to beat second-to-last-place Wiscon-sin on Thursday), would be enor-mous for the Big Red.

So this is how I see Nebraska faring in the Big Ten tournament next weekend.

With a No. 2 rank, the Husk-ers first game would be against the winner of, who I would guess, Iowa and Northwestern. Iowa has hit a slump, but I think the Hawkeyes will round out the regular season with a win over Northwestern, then turn around and beat the Wildcats for the second time in a week to move on.
