Federal student aid: a roller coaster ride

cba proposes new buildingCristina WoodWorth

Broken furnishings, outdated technology and cramped class-rooms.

These are the complaints of several College of Business Ad-ministration students at the Uni-versity of Nebraska-Lincoln with the current CBA building on cam-pus.

Those complaints are the po-tential justifications for a new $84 million CBA, which the University of Nebraska Board of Regents will ponder at its first meeting of the 2012-2013 academic year Friday.

“In short, we need more space, better configured space and state-of-the art technology, so that stu-dents who come to Nebraska can receive the best possible business education,” CBA Dean Donde Plowman said.

The proposed building would be constructed north of the Kauff-man Academic Residential Center on the southeast corner of 14th and Vine streets, and if approved, its construction would start in February 2014.

Outside donations would fund the project and the building could open by January 2016, ac-cording to a report on the board’s meeting agenda.

University officials say a new building would provide a much-needed increase of classroom and office space to accommodate the growing number of CBA stu-dents and faculty and keep UNL competitive with other Big Ten schools.

“The current CBA building is inadequate for our current enroll-ment to do modern business edu-cation,” UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman said. “This project is criti-cal to our enrollment growth.”

Enrollment at CBA currently stands at more than 3,500 with a goal to reach 5,000 students by

2017, according to university en-rollment data. Perlman has also announced a university-wide goal to reach 30,000 students by the same year.

CBA saw the biggest increases in enrollment compared to other colleges at UNL this semester with a 4.5 percent increase. Regent Tim Clare of Lincoln agreed that CBA needs more room to grow.

“The (current) building only has five rooms that can hold more than 45 students,” Clare said. “If we’re going to meet these enroll-ment goals, the business college plays a significant role.”

The new building would have nearly 156,000 square feet as-signed for classrooms, offices, labs and programs, more than double the current building’s more than 67,800 square feet assigned for similar uses, the report said. It would include more classrooms, office space, study areas and lounges. The current building will likely need renovation and will be used for general classes, according to the report.

Originally built in 1919, the last time CBA underwent reno-vations was in 1993, when a new wing was added to provide addi-tional classroom and office space.

For a cavernous room packed wall to wall, the sanctuary is alarmingly silent. With the entrance of the priest and the procession of the cross, the room sud-denly erupts into a vast choir, singing the hymn in unison.

Although each of the 300 kneels, stands and sings in unison, each is also part of the problem the University of

Nebraska-Lincoln Newman Center fac-es. There are too many people and not enough room. However, according to the church’s leadership council, that is a great problem to have. It’s one church leaders have a solution for.

In April 2013, the Newman Center’s building will be torn down to make room for a Newman Center twice its original

size. The $17 million church will be open and ready for use by late 2014.

The center is the larger part of a $25 million building project that will con-tinue for the next three and a half years, according to Jude Werner, director of de-velopment for the Newman Center. The series of projects includes the Newman Center as well as seed money to assist

University of Nebraska-Lin-coln students celebrated National Hispanic Heritage Month on campus with cuisine, music and dancing at Fiesta on the Green

outside the Nebraska Union Fri-day night. Many attendants said the cultural celebration allowed them to showcase their heritage and diversity with other stu-

dents. Laura Piñon, a junior bio-logical science major, donned a face-paint mustache and goatee and said the event helped her express her Mexican-American

heritage. “I am diverse, just like everyone else in this country,” Piñon said. “We are all from somewhere else, and it’s beauti-ful.”

date: march 2009change: pell grants, which are awarded to low-income students and need not be paid back, go from a maximum value of $4,731 to $5,350. Work-study programs, which the government uses to support the salaries of students working for their schools, get an infusion of $200 million.effective: July 2009the politics: both changes came from obama’s “stimu-lus,” or the american recovery and reinvestment act of 2009. nearly all republicans in both houses of Congress voted against.what it means: since pell grants could be awarded for up to 18 semesters, the change meant low-income students could receive up to $5,571 more. This pell increase, along with another scheduled for 2010, cost the government $17 billion. Work-study grants were awarded to 200,000 more students in 2009, who each received an average of $1,500 in earnings.

date: march 2010change: pell grants rose again from a maximum of $5,350 a year to their present maximum, $5,550. The government also stops subsidizing private banks to issue student loans, converting all new student loans to direct federal loans and saving money by cutting out the middle-man.effective: July 2010the politics: republicans unanimously opposed the bill, which was considered a centerpiece of obama’s educa-tion agenda.what it means: The increase in pell meant up to $1,800 more per recipient during his or her college career. mak-ing all loans direct from the government meant more repayment options for students and was expected to save the government $68 billion over the next 11 years; $36 billion of that went back into the pell program.

date: april 2011change: Congress ended the year-round pell, a 3-year-old program that offered pell grant recipients another semester’s worth of grants for sum-mer classes, up to $2,775.effective: summer 2012the politics: The idea was suggested by obama when the program’s popularity and cost turned out higher than expected.what it means: some pell recipients lost out on up to $2,775, while the government saved the program’s $8 billion expected annual budget.

date: august 2011change: The government ended the subsidy on some stafford student loans to the country’s graduate students. These subsidized loans wouldn’t accrue any interest while the grad student was still in school – now interest would start racking up immediately.effective: July 2012the politics: This compromise came out of the fiery debt ceiling debate in Congress that summer. Lifting the debt ceiling was considered by many economists and experts to be essential to keep the country’s credit healthy for another year. Congressional republicans refused to raise the ceiling unless major cuts were made in return, saying the debt ceiling must come down eventually.

what it means: Here at UnL, the average grad student could lose up to $1,600 of interest in a two-year pro-gram, according to UnL’s office of scholarships and Fi-nancial aid, though many grad students have grants and assistantships to pay much of their cost. The government expected to save $18 billion over the next decade.

date: october 2011change: Two years ahead of schedule, obama instituted a plan that would allow low-income students to pay their loans more gradually and get those loans forgiven after 20 years of payments instead of after 25. The plan also allowed students with a mix of bank-issued indirect loans and direct federal loans to consoli-date all of them into direct loans.effective: July 2012the politics: While a democratic-controlled Congress in 2010 approved the measure to start in 2014, obama used his executive power over the education depart-ment to push it to 2012.what it means: The impact varies for each student, but with a discounted interest rate for consolidated loans and easier repayment schedule, the change meant only savings. The cost to the government is unclear, though consolidation would save federal money as well.

date: december 2011change: pell grants were made avail-able for 12 full-time semesters, down from 18. Those who qualify for less than 10 percent of the pell’s max, or $555, would not receive a grant. students’ families that made $23,000 or more a year would be expected to contribute toward college costs, down from $32,000 before.effective: July 2012the politics: The cuts came from another budget show-down with Congressional republicans in late 2011 and drew from several of their previous proposals.what it means: pell recipients lost up to $16,650 from six semesters’ worth of pell grants. students who qualified for less than 10 percent of the pell maximum lost up to $6,660 ($555 every semester for 12 semesters). The decrease in family income necessary to contribute to college costs meant 286,000 students lost an average of $857. The government saves an estimated $11 billion over 10 years.

date: June 2012change: Congress extended the discounted interest rate on subsi-dized undergraduate loans, which will remain at 3.4 percent for another year (the rate had been lowered since the recession hit). Undergraduates would lose the six-month grace period after gradu-ation, meaning the interest clock started ticking right at graduation. payments still didn’t have to start for six months.effective: July 2012the politics: both parties initially disagreed on how to pay for the discount extension, but they finally agreed to end the grace period and change some business pension rules to foot the bill.what it means: by keeping the interest rate low, the government expects the average borrower to save $1,000. The end of the interest grace period, however, would cost the average UnL student $464, accord-ing to information from the office of scholarships and Financial aid.

Through the shockwaves of the 2008 recession and a surge of Congressio-nal Republican opposition toward government spending in 2010, it’s been a rough four years for federal student aid.

Between March 2009 and July

2012, the funding, eligibility require-ments or payment options for stu-dent grants and loans have changed at least seven times.

Most of the changes have meant savings for the federal government and losses for students; Congressio-nal Republicans repeatedly made funding for the U.S. Department of Education – which oversees federal loans and grants – a target for bud-

get cuts.While the education depart-

ment’s 2012 student aid budget was roughly 1 percent of the en-tire federal budget, those seven changes – approved by either a Democratic or mixed-party Con-gress and signed by President Barack Obama – have overall trimmed more than $50 billion from student aid. Those cuts are a serious

loss for many individual students, but they amount to less than one-third of one percent of the country’s $16 trillion debt.

The Daily Nebraskan compiled information from three years of news reports, federal legislation and anal-yses from independent organiza-tions into this table to keep track of all these changes, who put them in place and what it means for you.

“You’ll see that, currently, CBA is just out of space,” Clare said.

Plowman said she’s excited about the proposed building and characterized its need for new space as desperate. She said the college ex-pects more students in CBA classes thanks to the new business minor for non-business major students made available this semester.

Keeping up with other Big Ten business schools is on Lincoln Re-gent Jim McClurg’s mind, too.

McClurg, the board’s chairman, said UNL’s current business college facilities are lacking in comparison to other Big Ten institutions.

“We have the fundamentals of a great program, but the current building is both antiquated and in-adequate,” McClurg said. “I’ve very supportive of the project.”

The University of Iowa is the only other Big Ten university that hasn’t renovated its business col-lege or built a new building since the 1990s, the report said. Iowa’s Tippie College of Business John Pappajohn Business Building was completed in 1994. The next oldest business col-lege among

Big Ten schools is Purdue Uni-versity’s Jerry Rawls Hall, which was completed in 2003.

While some business college stu-dents welcomed the proposal, others remain skeptical.

“I personally haven’t had any problems with the CBA building,” said Ben Krantz, a sophomore busi-ness administration and vocal per-formance major. “The building offers everything it needs to sufficiently and still doesn’t seem like one of the

oldest buildings on campus. I’ve al-ways been pleased with it.”

Krantz said the true need for a new business college will depend on enrollment numbers over the next couple of years.

“The size of the school will be-come a factor as time goes on be-cause there will be a need for more space as the amount of business stu-dents increases, as well as a need for improved technology to maintain its credibility,” he said.

Gubby Goh, a senior actuarial science major, disagreed, saying the current building has many prob-lems, including broken chairs and lights in classrooms. Many of his classes are overcrowded with stu-dents, even when they aren’t in the CBA building, he said.

“I have actuarial science classes

in Hamilton Hall and they’re always packed with people,” he said.

Bridget Jones, a senior actuarial science major, also said she has to take some of her business classes in other buildings because CBA doesn’t have large enough lecture halls. She added that a new business building would be nice because CBA has a “confusing and inefficient layout.”

“It’s set up like a labyrinth,” she said.

For now, Plowman said she is eagerly awaiting the Regent’s meet-ing this week.

“It’s an exciting time for CBA and we are thrilled to have our pro-posal in front of the regents this Fri-day,” she said. “We have our fingers crossed.”

Professor digitally maps links between novels

maren Westradn

Matthew Jockers isn’t your ordi-nary topographer.

The assistant professor of English at University of Ne-braska-Lincoln has spent about a decade creating a series of maps: literature maps. The digi-tal maps group about 3,500 clas-sic works of literature based on theme and style, showing au-thor’s influences and the time periods that popularized certain topics.

Jockers calls the classifica-tion system “macroanalysis.” A video of him speaking about his research was shown at the Digi-tal Humanities 2012 meeting in Hamburg, Germany.

He formally began working on his macroanalysis in 2003, but he said the beginning stages were difficult because few books were available in digital form. By 2005 or 2006, Jockers said, the digitization of classic novels sped up the process of macro-analysis considerably because he could rely on computational programs to do some of the work.

Kenneth Price, co-director of the UNL Center for Digital Research in the Humanities (CDRH) compared the digitiza-tion of content to the invention of the printing press in that it creates a widespread forum to distribute information to the masses and make knowledge more accessible.

Jockers’ program uses al-gorithms to classify using two techniques, supervised classifi-cation and unsupervised clas-sification. The program extracts then analyzes the data.

The literature maps examine 500 themes and how they plot over the 19th century, Jockers said.

For example, American

slavery is a topic that showed patterns on the maps. Jockers looked at when the theme was popular, the gender of the au-thor and the nationality – Amer-ican, British, or Irish – of the author.

He said the map makes trends in literature more evident. Americans write about Ameri-can slavery far more often, he said, as readers may expect. But the plotting system also shows there were two different time periods in the 19th century dur-ing which Irish authors covered the topic extensively.

Jockers, who specializes in Irish literature, said that’s be-cause the Irish were oppressed, and many authors identified with some of the emotions asso-ciated with slavery.

The map shows how the in-fluence of emotions and politics affected authors of a certain na-tionality – and that’s what moti-vates Jockers, who said he even-tually wants to build a system that will examine 50,000 novels.

One map identifies novels in two ways: prose and author gen-der. The location of dots on the map relates to the style in which the literature was written, while the color of the dot signifies the gender of the author. Males shared a similar style and were grouped together; the same was true for females.

Interestingly, however, George Eliot, a pseudonym for a female author, was grouped with the male authors.

“(It’s interesting) to look at, ‘Who are the authors who go against the trends?’” Jockers said.

Price said research like this is beneficial for everyone because almost all of the CDRH’s discov-eries and information is made freely available. It isn’t protect-ed or hidden and it doesn’t cost money for users to access it.

Jockers has a book slated for release in the early half of 2013 titled “Macroanalysis: Digital Methods and Literary History”. It will delve further into the classification and digitization of humanities research.

A former Stanford Univer-sity faculty member, Jockers moved to Lincoln this year to join the CDRH.

“The center … is breaking new ground (and) lowering the barriers for education,” he said.

Jockers called the CDRH at UNL the No. 1 center for the kind of work he and other facul-ty in the department are doing. Price said the center is one of the top three or four in the nation and will probably climb that list after some changes that are planned for the coming years.

“The university’s commit-ment is to hire five to six new faculty over a two to three year period,” he said. “Putting mod-esty aside, we probably will be the strongest center in the coun-try (after those hires).”

The profile of UNL’s CDRH is what drew Jockers to UNL from Stanford.

“What we’re doing here at Nebraska is bigger than my work,” he said. “It’s a very big enterprise. It’s going to be very hard for other universities to compete with us.”

Forum invites new faculty research

Cristina WoodWorthdn

It was like the first day of school for a group of about 50 business casual-clad adults.

They sat around square tables in room 212 of the Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center at the Univer-sity of Nebraska-Lincoln, looking around for familiar faces and catch-ing up on small talk.

The group was attending UNL’s annual new faculty forum hosted by the Office of Research and Econom-ic Development (ORED) on Friday morning.

Each person stood up and in-troduced themselves to the group. Packets of information stuffed into bright red folders were handed out.

The event gave the group of mostly brand-new faculty and staff the low-down on how to conduct research at the university.

“We encourage people to come to this forum,” said Mike Zeleny, as-sistant vice chancellor of research. “We’re a research university so, of course, most faculty are engaged in some sort of research.”

There are about 100 new faculty at the university this year, Zeleny said. All faculty hired within the past three years were invited to the forum.

“Most faculty have some sort of combination of teaching, research and service,” Zeleny said. “In some faculty appointments, though, there is a greater expectation that you’ll

be involved in research. It all de-pends on your area of discipline.”

Prem Paul, vice chancellor of re-search and economic development, spoke to the group about the impor-tance of more people being involved in research projects at the university.

“It takes more than one or two faculty members,” Paul said. “We need a whole village.”

Paul encouraged brand-new faculty not to be intimidated to get involved in projects right away.

“If you have a good idea, we can work with you and your dean,” he told the group. “We can work as a team.”

Deb Hamernik, associate vice chancellor of research, went over the ins and outs of researching at UNL for the group, including how to obtain grants, the special regula-tions involving human and animal subjects and how to find a research

partner.“We have a new website up this

year to help researchers partner to-gether,” Hamernik said.

ORED put together a website this year where faculty can search for research partners based on their areas of expertise.

“We’ve had a lot of requests for something like this,” Hamernik said. “It’s kind of like a Match.com kind of thing.”

Demet Batur, an assistant pro-fessor of management, said she came to the forum to learn more about the overall process of re-searching at the university.

“I want to apply for some inter-nal and external grants,” said Batur, who is in her second year of teach-ing at UNL. “It was good to get a complete set of information about how (ORED) can be helpful.”

New university hires attended a forum to learn about starting new research projects

the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity and Theta Phi Alpha sorority houses with rent.

“Right now, we have 100 Bible studies meeting every week,” Werner said. “We have the right stuff, just not enough of it.”

The church currently holds mass four times on Sunday and each Mass fills the 300-person sanctuary to standing room only, Werner said. The new church will increase the sanctu-ary to 650-person capacity and en-large the church from 26,000 square feet to somewhere between 55,000 square feet and 65,000 square feet. While the new center is under con-struction, masses will be held in the FOCUS building a few blocks north on 16th Street.

“The first Sunday of the year, we had to open up the doors for people to stand in the hallway,” the Rev. Rob-ert Matya said. “And at that point it becomes a fire-hazard issue.”

According to Werner, in one or two instances, members of the con-gregation were so packed into the church that a few people fainted from the heat.

“One, it’s certainly not welcom-ing to have that many students,” Werner said. “And the other, it’s a legitimate concern for safety with the number of students we have. It’s not, ‘If you build it, they will come.’ They’re here and we just need a big-ger place.”

After two years of fundraising with the Capital Campaign, the New-man Center has been able to raise $10.1 million of the $25 million re-quired for the building project.

“It’s a pretty significant effort,” Matya said. “We have the Capital Campaign where we talk to current donors as well as people who might be interested. We’ve had receptions across the state and in other states as well.”

Some of the more notable donors include head NU football coach Bo Pelini and head NU volleyball coach John Cook, both of whom are cam-paign honorary chairs.

“We’ll continue fundraising throughout the construction to close that gap,” Matya said.

According to Matya, the remain-ing funds required after the fundrais-ing will be taken care of through the Lincoln diocese, where a revolving fund exists for such expenses. The goal is set for students to contribute at least 1 percent of the funds on their own, according to Werner.

“As a whole, so far students have

pledged $140,000 to the campaign collectively,” Werner said. “A lot of students are pledging $1,000 a piece. They say, ‘I can give up a meal at Amigos or a Starbucks drink once a week.”

While there was talk of merely updating the current building, ac-cording to Matya, it became quickly clear that more than remodeling was needed.

“That would be difficult because we wanted to make the building up to code, handicap accessible and all,” he said.

The church was built in the 1960s and is subsequently a maze of narrow hallways, steep staircases and sharp turns. According to Werner, while the interior will be greatly redesigned, the style of the building is designed to look even older than the current Newman Center.

“Right now, people walk by and don’t realize it’s a church,” Werner said. “This will be a distinctly Gothic architecture.”

Werner said that after doing a number of focus groups, the older look was what students were look-ing for in the new church. The new church will feature a 100-foot-tall bell tower and three stories of study rooms, business offices, social rooms and rooms for counseling, he said.

“They want something that looks traditional; something that looks like it has been there for a long time,” Werner said.

After a long day of class, you’re starving – at least I always am. Once again, there’s nothing to cook. That take-home quiz is due and there’s definitely not enough time to do the dishes or micro-

wave a bowl of Easy-Mac. You don’t want to munch on a Clif Bar or grab a bag of off-brand fruit snacks. You need something tasty, simple and quick.

One food I feel many college students over-look is cereal. This simple, yet quaint, meal is the lifeblood of not only any child’s breakfast – it should be considered a staple in a poor col-lege student’s diet. Cereal is an excellent college meal because of the variety, cost, availability and simplicity of the food. One could even go as far to say cereal is an impoverished college students’ diet.

As college students, we will eat about any-thing. In saying this, we also want to change up our tastes every so often. No one ever wants to consume the same meal in repetition. The key to eating cereal lies in the variety. If you eat the same bowl of Lucky Charms for a month, even for a week, the thought of having cereal again will leave an unpleasant taste in your mouth.

As I’m writing this, I have seven large, off-brand bags of cereal in my inventory (one is half-eaten). Anyone who knows me well can attest to the fact that I keep an abundance of brands in my pantry at all times. The point of this is I’ve got to keep my options open. Each bag is a different brand to ensure that I never get bored of eating the same brand during a substantial period of time. Variety will only help your appetite for cereal flourish.

Cereal isn’t pricey. Depending on the brand, you can always score a great deal on getting a box for a quality price. Not only is it fairly in-expensive, but coupons, discounts and deals appear quite frequently for cereal, which makes for a logical, excellent choice.

This typically raises a question. Is it bet-ter to get off-brand cereal over true brand? Is

there a difference? Quite honestly, there really isn’t a difference. I don’t think “Chocolate Pea-nut Butter Spheres” sounds that appetizing, but there are a few cereals I like to choose the true brand over the off-brand. For example, Reese’s Puffs and Boo Berry. But everything else can fall under the off-brand category and still offer the same great taste. Not to mention it’s a better deal to get one of the large bags with three times the amount, rather than a normal, true-brand box.

Whether you just woke up, need a snack at 3 p.m. in the afternoon or need some study food at midnight, cereal can and will always be an option. When I lived on-campus last year, even after my roommate went to bed, I would pour a couple bowls of Golden Grahams, pop in the headphones and watch some Netflix. It’s a great snack to have at any time of the day. If you have to be quiet late at night, it’s still a perfect snack. Just make sure you’re not chomping with your mouth open.

The most beautiful thing about the over-looked breakfast food isn’t the variety, the price or the fact that you can eat it at any time. The beauty of cereal is that it’s unbelievably simple. Simplicity is vital to any college students’ meal. We are lazy, stressed, tired or an unfortunate combination of all three. We don’t want to put

any work into making a meal. That’s why we or-der pizza, take up UNL on the events that prom-ise free food and use the dining halls.

Eating this delicacy requires four basic items. You will obviously need cereal. You will need milk. You will need a spoon. And most im-portantly, you will need a bowl. If you want to shake things up a little bit, a TV tray and a TV. Its prep time is under five minutes and another bowl of cereal will take about 15 seconds to re-pour the cereal and the milk. Maybe a minute if you have to grab another bag from the cabinet and sit back down.

As a side note, because of its simplicity, ce-real is mobile. I don’t mean this in the sense that your bowl of cereal will drive off the table. If you so desired, you could hike to the top of a mountain with a camping pack slung over your shoulders and once at the top, break out a bowl, spoon, a bag of Honey Nut Cheerios and a ther-mos of milk and enjoy the view. It is great food that can really be eaten anywhere, which makes this delightful meal ideal for camping trips or outings. And of course, carrying around materi-als for cereal is a lot more convenient then drag-ging around a stove or grill. As well as cereal being mobile, there is no necessary clean-up if you are using plastic utensils.

Regardless of where you live, whether on or off campus, cereal will always be a great op-tion for a quick meal. For a practical application of needing a quick meal, I have consumed four bowls of cereal in the process of making this ar-ticle. Cereal is not only convenient for its sim-plicity, but for numerous varieties, the inexpen-sive value, and the all-day long availability, as well as mobility. Help bring cereal to the top of the chain as the best food for college students. Think twice before you call out for food.

It might just be as easy as checking the pan-try.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln takes pride in its traditions. The bal-loon launch at the Husker games was one of them, and now that’s on the way out.

Things come to an end. Things change. By 2027, the campus will look com-pletely different.

Of course, this list consists of mere specula-tions and my own educated guesses. Here are ten things students won’t see at UNL in 15 years:

1. Half the buildings on campus.The buildings on campus are getting old.

In 15 years, the university will demolish half of them. They’ll be replaced by new ones to attract students who won’t even remember that there used to be a Ferguson Hall or a Pound Resi-dence Hall. Instead, there’ll be names like the Osborne Residence Center or Perlman Hall.

2. Projectors.Professors won’t have to bother having to

turn on a projector. Why? Because there’ll be humongous television screens with access to the Internet. Google TVs have already infil-trated thousands of homes, and in their quest for world domination, Google will sell the uni-versity the latest technology to use in the class-room. Assuming that Google won’t find a way for teachers to make quick diagrams on the com-puter, whiteboards might still be in use by a few professors.

Sure, there will be professors who won’t like these television-computer hybrids, but they’ll adapt. After all, they adapted to MyRED and Blackboard. What’s Internet-TV compared to that?

3. Typical residence hall rooms. After Cather and Pound are demolished

within the next few years, the university will decide whether to make all of the housing on campus suite-style. UNL will want to make more money by enticing more students to live on campus. The communal bathrooms will be gone. There will be a kitchen space in each of the rooms, but not enough to prevent students from having to buy an expensive meal plan.

4. Payphones.Yes, there is a payphone on campus. It’s in

the Union, near the computer lab. In 15 years,

the university will decide to remove it. After all, in the future nobody will use landlines except in offices. Instead, students will be able to rent iPhones with their NCards. The university will probably upgrade the empty payphone booths to rental booths for the iPhones.

5. Some of the kissing columns.Legend has it one of the columns outside of

Memorial Stadium will crumble if a girl doesn’t get kissed during her time at UNL. The spot where the columns stand will remain a popu-lar spot for couples to make out at. However, it will be realized the legend is gender-neutral when a column collapses because a guy doesn’t get smooched. Every student in the future will make it his or her mission to get kissed during college to save the remaining columns, assum-ing it isn’t too late.

6. Husker logo in serif fonts.NU Athletics will redesign the “N” to keep

the Husker logo from looking outdated. Fonts with serifs will be considered out of style in the future because they look silly. By 2027, the Huskers logo will be in comic sans font. The ath-letic department will claim, “I think that comic sans always screams fun!” Fans will protest. The logo will eventually get changed to another font, still sans serif. Hopefully the font won’t be changed to symbols, making it unreadable to anybody, but I doubt this will actually happen.

7. Coke products.By 2027, I bet the one Coke machine on

campus at the Lutheran Center will be gone.

Students at UNL will get used to Pepsi prod-ucts and the university will extend its contract with the company. Students will choose Moun-tain Dew as the second-best choice because it is the nectar of the gods. There will be advocates among students to get the university to switch to Coke, but they will be quickly shut down. Feminists will rejoice at the fact Dr Pepper won’t be sold on campus.

8. Husker cats.Don’t worry, the Husker cats will never die

out. They’ll keep breeding until the end of time. Their main job will be to ensure Nebraska birds won’t overpopulate the skies. Students won’t be able to walk a single block without seeing a furry feline. This will make UNL less attractive to two types of people: dog people and those with cat allergies. Everybody else will just ig-nore them. Cat lovers, just make sure you don’t love and squeeze them too much.

9. Swivel chairs.The university will decide swivel chairs

distract students from paying attention during class. While rolling chairs will still be found in classrooms, they won’t let students spin in them. Students will be disappointed at first because the new chairs will be uncomfortable. The chairs will be in only two colors – black and white – to match the desks. Students will no lon-ger be able to have contests to see who could make themselves dizziest the fastest.

10. Parking.Parking will still be a problem on campus

in the future. After all, Perlman has made it his goal to increase student enrollment to 30,000 by 2017. While the amount of parking space will grow as the college expands, it won’t be fast enough. There will still be fights to get the last space at the meter. Both faculty and students will complain about the amount of parking and protest parking permit fees. The parking ga-rages will be built higher to accommodate the growth of students.

new CBa building is necessary for

growth in Big tenThe College of Business Administration needs some

room to grow. The University of Nebraska Board of Regents should

approve a new, larger building for the college at the board meeting Sept. 14.

The building hasn’t undergone renovations in 19 years, and students and regents have called the structure “antiquated,” “confusing” and “inadequate” – not ideal adjectives for the second-largest college in the university. Students have commented that the building feels cramped, and if that’s the case with the current enrollment of about 3,500 students, the college isn’t equipped to provide for the projected 2017 enrollment of 5,000 students.

CBA majors are among the most popular at the universi-ty, as evidenced by this year’s enrollment data. The college saw a 4.5 percent increase in enrollment, the largest of any college.

To draw more students to the university and reach UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman’s goal of 30,000 stu-dents, the university must focus on making its facilities more appealing, and the CBA building is an excellent place to begin improvements.

Some students argue that they see no problem with the current building, but prospective students don’t choose colleges because the facilities are “good enough.” Univer-sity facilities will only attract students if they are above and beyond the rest.

And that doesn’t seem to be the case with the current structure. Every other Big Ten school has renovated or com-pleted its business college since 1993, when UNL’s building was last renovated.

The projected location of the new CBA isn’t being used for anything, and the $84 million in funding will come from private sources, so the university doesn’t stand to lose any-thing from the construction. Also, the old building will be used to provide space for other classes and further accom-modate any increases in enrollment.

A new building for CBA will allow room for growth in not only the college, but the university as a whole. Eighty-four million dollars is a hefty price tag, but this investment is worth the cost.

Revamped fairytales return to dark er roots

rachel staats

You would be hard-pressed to find a girl in high school or col-lege these days who has never attended a Disney princess-themed birthday party at some point in her life.

One of the most controver-sial topics of discussion among elementary school girls, at least when I was there, was which Disney princess is the best.

Although the answer to this question is obviously Belle from “Beauty and the Beast,” the first animated movie from Disney to make a big splash was “Snow

White.” While no one would dare doubt Walt Disney’s genius in creating visual masterpieces for children, he can’t claim all of the credit for the success of this film or many of his other works.

Many of the stories with the Disney Princesses – Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Ra-punzel and Tiana – were based on the original stories from Grimm’s Fairy Tales. These classics, includ-ing “Little Briar Rose” and “The Frog Prince,” were the inspiration for some of the most famous ani-mated characters of all time.

While these stories have al-ways been intended for children, if you’ve ever read Grimm’s Fairy Tales, you know a few changes had to be made to turn the often gruesome plot turns into movies that would be acceptable for 20th and 21st century kids.

Traditionally, fairy tales were told to children to encourage them to do the right thing and behave properly, as in “Hansel and Gre-tel,” and they were presumably meant to illustrate the dangers of talking to strangers and walking in the woods alone.

But in some stories, the mor-al is not as easy to spot. Some of Grimm’s Fairy Tales seem gratu-itously violent and maybe a little sad.

The original “The Little Mer-maid,” by Hans Christian Ander-sen, ends with a marriage, not between Ariel and the prince, but between the prince and the prin-cess of a neighboring kingdom. When Ariel discovers this, the Sea Witch offers to give her life as a mermaid back if she agrees to kill the prince with an enchanted dagger. When she refuses, she is turned into a daughter of the air, where she will do good deeds for 300 years.

In “Cinderella,” the stepsisters cut off parts of their own feet in an attempt to make the slipper fit.

The idea of having stories end

with “happy ever after” is a very American idea and an important aspect of the Disney movies. What kind of story would “Cinderella” be if it didn’t end with a carriage ride into the sunset?

Although Disney took a short hiatus from making princess mov-ies, the recent box-office success of “Tangled” is proof of the con-tinuing popularity of this animat-ed genre, especially among our generation.

This is even more obvious if you look at the recent influx of live-action adaptations of the movies from our childhood. The 1990s really were the golden years for Disney animations and now that 1990s kids are in high school and college, filmmakers are capi-talizing on our generations’ love of these classic stories.

This summer’s two takes on “Snow White” – that’s “Mirror Mirror” and “Snow White and the Huntsman” – follow a trend that includes live-action remakes of the classic stories “Alice in Won-derland,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” and many versions of “Cinderella.”

Although I personally have no problem watching the old Disney films (over and over and over … ), these ramped-up adaptations make the classic stories more ac-cessible for a grown-up audience. They even make it possible for more of the original Grimm broth-ers’ content to be added, if the di-rector wishes to do so.

We have already seen a bit of this in “Snow White and the Huntsman.”

This might become even more evident in the future, as Emma Watson is rumored to have signed on to play Belle in a period adap-tation of “Beauty and the Beast,” directed by Guillermo del Toro (of “Pan’s Labyrinth” fame). Del Toro is also the producer of “Pi-nocchio” (2014), which will be a darker version of the classic story.

While it is undeniable that these stories will continue to live on in the cinema, it’s possible that the age of “happily ever after” may be over.

T he creation of a Kindle option of Prairie Schooner’s summer 2012 issue was a big step for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s re-nowned literary magazine. So was breaking ground on Fusion, the journal’s new online

collaboration, aimed at expanding international readership.

But Prairie Schooner’s recent embrace of digital technology has extended even beyond the content of the journal.

In January of this year, UNL professors-turned-DJs Stacey Waite and Scott Winter pioneered “Air Schooner,” a recurring podcast complement to the journal.

“Air Schooner,” originally the brainchild of Prairie Schooner editor-in-chief Kwame Dawes, is a 15-minute bi-weekly podcast that unites writ-ers, poets and essayists with a listening audience. “Air Schooner” typically showcases poems, sto-ries and their creators across a common theme in an audio format that allows for the drawing of sometimes unique connections.

Past themes have included pets and parent-ing, teaching and travel, food and first encoun-ters.

While Prairie Schooner aims to bring together a diverse group of writers and thinkers and to distribute their written words to a broader read-ership, Air Schooner can uniquely bring the art-

ists into the studio to discuss not only their work, but what inspired it, what molded it and how it will change over time all in the writer’s own voice.

“Unlike the magazine, where you read the words, with a podcast, you can hear them and hear the writer say them as they meant to,” said Scott Winter, an assis-tant professor of journalism.

In this manner, “Air Schooner” does more than reit-erate or publicize Prairie Schooner’s content. Instead, it aims to allow its audience to connect and interact with words and authors in a way not possible by picking up a journal.

rowling’s upcoming book remains a mystery for fansGAbrieLLA mArTinez-GArro

dn

She’s wealthier than the Queen of England, her books have inspired the most lucrative movie franchise in history and she’s back.

J.K. Rowling, the incredibly successful author of the Harry Pot-ter series, will release her first adult novel, “The Casual Vacancy,” on Sept. 27. Set in a small English town, this dark comedy will center around the death of a town coun-cil member and the election for the newly vacant seat.

While Rowling’s name alone is enough to generate buzz, the news and publicity surrounding her up-coming novel has been incredibly sparse. As with the Harry Potter se-ries, there will be no early reviews of the book or advanced copies given to the media.

The lack of specific details re-garding “The Casual Vacancy” has raised the question as to whether the public – Harry Potter fans in-cluded – are aware of Rowling’s latest book and if they are willing to follow the author beyond her most famous creation.

“I think I’ll read it for sure be-cause I know that she’s a good writer,” said Kayleigh Lewan-dowski, a freshman biological sci-ences major and Harry Potter fan. “Plus, I’m always looking for new stuff to read. I don’t know much about it though.”

Though Rowling is departing from the wizarding world, her latest 512-page novel is predicted to be a hit. In USA Today, Rowl-ing’s American pub-lisher, Michael Pietsch, expressed optimism about the release of “The Casual Vacancy” and even compared Rowling’s work to that of Dickens.

“I expect the world to be ecstatic at the range of her imaginative reach,” said Pietsch in

the USA Today interview. Freshman communications

major Megan Cable said although she was not aware of “The Casual

Vacancy,” she admires Rowling’s talents and expects her diverse fan base to stay loyal.

“Since her fans started out so young, people will be able to grow up with her books,” Cable said. “I feel like the fan base is so big and there are people from all ages that will read this book and understand it.”

Other readers spec-ulated the specifically

adult demographic of Rowling’s readers will come through for her.

“I think that it will be a suc-cess, at least with her older read-ers,” said Ben Esters, a sophomore classical and religious studies ma-jor. “I think that not releasing much about it is a pretty good strategy. If it worked for the Harry Potter novels, then it will work for what-ever else she writes.”

Lewandowski said she appre-ciates Rowling trying to break out of her Harry Potter image and make a different name for herself.

“I think that J.K. Rowling has built up a legendary empire that will live on in both children’s literature and adult’s literature,” Lewandowski said, “and I really respect her for that.”

air schooner: From 6

Just as the connection be-tween “Air Schooner” and its audience is unique, so, too, is its method of publicity and de-veloping an audience in the first place.

“Podcasts can be tailor-made to their audience and pub-licity develops through social media,” Winter said. “A new type of media brings about a new demographic.”

Friends of Winter and Waite, as well as friends and colleagues of the interviewed writers them-selves, have become engaged with sharing the podcast’s link through social media.

Working with its established audience, the podcast is advan-taged in developing around the availability of its listeners, as op-posed to a radio broadcast or an-other manner of electronic trans-mission.

“The audience (of Air Schoo-ner) is tech-savvy and can mold when they listen to the show around their schedule,” Winter said. The 15-minute time con-straint in particular has been vital in growing Air Schooner’s audi-ence.

“With a 15-minute show, you can listen to one, two, three and four at a time,” he said.

After a two-month hiatus, “Air Schooner” returned again last Thursday, with a program centered around spirituality in writing. Winter and Waite plan to continue their bi-weekly broad-casts, which can be downloaded for free on iTunes, as well as streamed via Prairie Schooner’s website. Waite, herself a UNL English professor and poet, said she is looking forward to the second run of “Air Schooner.”

Embracing the change in media, both as a writer and now as a DJ, Waite expressed excite-ment to see growth in the pod-cast’s content and in its audience this year.

“I’m ready for the change,” she said of the technology shift. “This is all new for me. We’re having fun and we’re learning as we go.”

playing in the system. At times we didn’t do that tonight.”

Even though Martinez seemed frazzled at times on the field to his coaches, his teammates remained completely confident in him. Of-fensive tackle Jeremiah Sirles said Martinez showed great leadership

at the end of the game, even with the adversity the team was facing.

“He seemed like he had a sense of urgency, which was good,” Sirles said. “He was being a leader. He was doing everything he could to help us rally the troops. That’s what he did and we just came up a little short.”

What would Martinez tell this offense that struggled Saturday?

“Just keep moving on,” Mar-tinez said. “I know that we can execute at a high level we just got to do it.”

wrap them up. All the while, those players remained on the game seemingly without many reper-cussions for their actions.

I’m sure they’ll run laps at practice. But is that enough?

Take them out, make a state-ment. Put in backups, walk-ons, freshmen – do whatever you have to do to show these players it isn’t OK to miss tackles. This is not a problem that will take care of it-self.

If Nebraska is trying to get over the hump and into a confer-ence championship game, this is no way to go about doing it. Bo, traditionally known as a disci-plinarian, needs to live up to the hype and make his players feel the pain Husker fans felt Saturday; they have to sit.

Had it not been for Hundley kneeling the ball for a 5-yard loss on the final drive, this game would have been the worst defensive showing in terms of yards all-time for Nebraska. Something has to be done.

If I were Bo, I would tell my players this week in practice that if they miss a tackle, they sit for the rest of the drive, no excuses. Arkansas State, next week’s op-ponent, should be easy enough opponent; Nebraska can afford to

sit players out.Two games in, Nebraska’s de-

fense already looks lost. UCLA’s offense exceeded expectations, but it’s safe to say other Big Ten of-fenses can compare.

If this problem isn’t fixed in the coming weeks, the road ahead is going to be a rocky one.

The Bruins recorded 372 yards of offense in the first half, led by freshman quarterback Brett Hund-ley who threw a 49-yard touch-down pass to give UCLA a 24-21 lead with a little more than three minutes to go in the second quarter.

Husker kicker Brett Maher made a 54-yard field goal as the first half ended to tie the game at 24.

However, the difference in this game was the offensive production in the second half.

Nebraska’s offense couldn’t get anything going in the second half, while the UCLA offense con-tinued to put up big yardage. Ne-braska finished with 439 yards of offense for the game, 106 yards in the second half.

The Bruins finished with 653 yards of offense for the game, the second highest total ever surren-dered by a Nebraska defense.

Nebraska had its chances though, despite the overwhelming

momentum UCLA had for most of the second half. Until the safety, Nebraska remained tied with the Bruins at 27.

Maher missed a 37-yard field goal in the third quarter that would have given the Huskers a 30-27 lead.

After the safety, both offenses traded possessions and neither put any points on the board. The Husker defense stayed strong even though UCLA drove into Nebraska territory on every possession.

Nebraska took the ball with just more than three minutes left to play in the game. Martinez threw an in-terception and the Bruins capital-ized five plays later, giving UCLA a 36-27 lead with about two minutes to go.

After a 63-yard kickoff return by Kenny Bell and a couple of 15-yard penalties, Maher converted a 40-yard field goal to cut the Bruin lead to six points with 1:36 to go in the game. The ensuing onside kick

was recovered by UCLA, who ran out the remainder of the clock.

“We didn’t make catches we made in the first games, we didn’t make throws we did in the first game and I didn’t make calls I made in the first game,” said Tim Beck, NU offensive coordinator.

As for the players, this one wasn’t an easy pill to swallow, ac-cording to senior linebacker Will Compton.

“It’s tough … I don’t know even how to explain it,” Compton said. “You want to win them all espe-cially as a senior. That’s tough on us all.”

sports@ dailynebraskan.com

NU out-blocked Oklahoma 10 to 6, while Thramer finished the match with a game-high five blocks to assist the team to a 3-0 sweep against OU (25-14, 25-11, 25-16).

Cook said he was impressed with his team’s focus during the Thursday game.

“I think our team came out and played really well,” he said. “It’s hard when we’re in school to come out and be that focused. We chal-lenged them to be good tonight.”

It didn’t stop there. The team’s dominance only continued throughout the weekend.

In a rare 4 p.m. match on Fri-day, NU took on Duquesne and went on a hitting frenzy.

The Huskers opened the first set with five consecutive points and were led by senior Gina Man-cuso’s seven kills to capture the first set, 25-7. Mancuso tallied three of the Huskers last seven points to assist in NU’s largest win margin this season.

The team captured the next two sets (25-12, 25-20) to sweep the Dukes in three sets. Mancuso led all attackers with 15 kills.

It was the team’s play on both sides of the net that helped capture the victory, according to Cook.

“Our team did a very good job of serving and defense tonight,” the coach said.

Besides the season’s best score, Nebraska also showed off its depth.

In her first start of the season, senior libero Paige Hubl led the team with 15 digs, including six digs in the second set. Freshman Cecilia Hall also began the game and finished the match with a ca-reer-high eight kills on 15 attacks (.467).

Lauren Cook said the Huskers’ depth has played a big role in the team’s success this season.

“The depth is huge. Last year we didn’t have a lot of depth and it gives a lot of our starters fresh legs for the next game,” she said. “It also gives those play-ers who haven’t been playing much more experience.”

Despite secur-ing two wins in just six sets Thursday and Friday, NU’s biggest test came Saturday against No. 19 Kentucky.

The Wildcats were the tough-est the Huskers would face all weekend, and John Cook knew his team would have to step up its game from the night before.

Cook told his team the game would be similar to the one against No. 3 UCLA on Sep. 1. Cook’s words only led to more excited play against Kentucky, she said.

“It’s fun playing these high-level games because that’s where we play our best,” Hubl said. “We

know we’re great and expect to play that way.”

Though the Huskers secured the first set, 25-19, its next three sets didn’t run as smoothly.

Kentucky went on to tie the match at one apiece the second set, 25-23, and challenged NU more than its past two opponents of the tournament.

After winning the third set, 25-22, Nebraska was tied at 17-17 in set four in a back and forth battle against Kentucky. But af-ter a timeout by the hometown team, the Husk-ers went on an 8-3 run capped by Mancuso’s 17th kill of the

night to beat the Wildcats, 25-22. Mancuso, who led the Husk-

ers with five kills in the fourth set, said it helped having 4,163 fans at the NU Coliseum on their side.

“I started shaking because the crowd was intense,” she said. “It was good that we had the crowd on our side.”

Mancuso and Lauren Cook were selected to the 2012 Ameri-tas Players Challenge All-Tourna-ment Team, while outside hitter Hannah Werth was named the tournament’s MVP.

NU gears up for tournament at Nebraska City course

Huskers prep for only home tournament of season

staff reportdn

Coach Robin Krapfl might be in for a tough season.

Gone is Madeleine Sheils, who lead the Huskers to a re-spectable sixth-place finish in their first year as part of a very formidable Big Ten Conference. As a senior, she was a First-Team All-Big Ten selection and her ca-reer stroke average of 76.88 was the second-best in school history.

Krapfl’s 26th season won’t be easy. But it won’t just be tough for the coach – her younger play-ers will have to step up.

The unenviable role of matching Sheils was given to the only two upperclassmen on the roster this year – Steffi Neisen and Kate-lyn Wright.

“They learned lead-ership last year from (last year’s) seniors,” Krapfl said. She added she was confident in the pair’s leadership abilities.

Leadership will no doubt be in great de-mand as the Huskers are by far the youngest team in the Big Ten. Seven freshmen are on the roster to start the year. The next closest Big Ten team, Purdue, has five freshmen. The Huskers are also the only team besides Michi-gan to have no seniors on their squad.

Coach Krapfl described this same Purdue squad as being one of the toughest teams in the Big

Ten, along with Northwestern, Ohio State and Michigan State. Michigan State is also the de-fending Big Ten champion.

All of these teams have an abundance of expe-rience, and it may just prove to be their advantage over the Huskers. The Husk-ers undoubtedly have plenty of tal-ent, but it still seems to be too young. Coach Krapfl spe-cifically pointed out Ohio State’s experi-ence as its strongest point and its main threat to NU.

Additionally, an injury bug seems to have already hit the Huskers hard. Yoorim Kang will likely miss this week’s Chip-N Club Invitational because of a thumb injury and Hannah Lu-ebke is also not expected to play because of an illness.

There are a variety of difficult opponents in the invitational. Krapfl named Southern Meth-odist, former Big 12 foe Kansas State and former Big 12 rival-

turned SEC opponent Missouri as the three teams that could cause some serious trouble for the Huskers.

Missouri has had a few play-ers look strong in tournaments over the summer. Junior Taylor Gohn won her second consecu-tive Columbus Women’s city Challenge by an outstanding 13 strokes.

The last time the Kansas State Wildcats competed in the invita-tional two years ago, they claimed second place. Like Missouri, they boasted an impressive summer and are ready to strike in their first tournament of the year.

But the toughest competition may be last year’s champion, the Southern Methodist Mustangs. They have earned some national recognition already, receiving votes in the Golf World/NGCA Coaches’ Preseason Poll.

The Chip-N Club Invitational is also the first event of the year for the Huskers, and the only invi-tational held in Lincoln. It begins Monday morning at the Country Club.

In the first half of Nebraska wom-en’s soccer team’s 4-0 victory against Southeast Missouri State on Saturday, it looked like the team might be returning to its old hab-its.

After the first half, Nebraska seemed to have more offensive control over Southeast Mis-souri State, but it wasn’t enough. Though the Huskers had 11 shots on goal, the team couldn’t put the ball in the net. It seemed like the Huskers were giving their oppo-nent a chance to hang in the game, heading into the locker room with zeroes on the scoreboard for both sides.

“We just really weren’t ready,” said junior forward Stacy Bartels. “The little things we have been working on all week in practice we just didn’t focus on in the first half.”

In the first half, things seemed pretty physical and though Nebras-ka had a large number of shots on goal, few of them were quality; the Huskers just couldn’t finish.

Despite this frustration, the per-sistence eventually paid off. Things started to turn around in the second half when sophomore midfielder Caroline Gray broke the scoreless streak at 50:48 to give the Huskers the 1-0 advantage.

After Gray’s goal, things start-ed rolling. Sophomore forward Mayme Conroy added the second goal for the Huskers 10 minutes later. Sophomore midfielder Han-nah Dittmar and Bartels added the final two goals for the Huskers to give them the 4-0 victory.

“The second half we came to-gether and really focused on the things we needed to and clearly we got the result from it,” Bartels said.

Perhaps the greatest achieve-ment of the Huskers’ victory was its magnitude. The Huskers re-corded 30 shots on goal throughout the game, their highest this season. Their four goals was also most scored by the Huskers this season.

Although the offense was ef-fective for the Huskers, the defense put up just as strong of a perfor-mance. The Redhawks only had one shot on goal through the game,

which didn’t come until the end of the second half. The return of junior midfielder Ari Romero brought some new life to the defense with her quickness and leadership.

The strong play for the Huskers also allowed some of the starters to rest and a variety of players to make an impact. Thirteen different players on the Huskers’ roster re-corded shots on goal. The two goals scored by Gray and Bartels were their first goals of the season.

“I’ve been so frustrated I came in this season with a few injuries, a few knocks,” Gray said. “But with all this hard work that I have put in

I was really excited to get my first goal.”

That confidence and rest will be a big help to the Huskers as they begin Big Ten play next week-end against Northwestern. With the strong performance, Nebraska hopes the boost of confidence will continue to help its play.

“The main thing we have strug-gled with this year is finishing and just to go hard in the second half and finish with those four goals re-ally built our confidence up a lot,” Gray said.

Nebraska golf tees off its season Mon-day, playing host to 12 teams in Ne-braska City as the defending cham-pion.

The Huskers, under coach Bill Spangler, won the Fairway Club Invi-tational last season by eight strokes. The team enters the tournament with three fresh faces. Freshmen Aaron Wong and Kolton Lapa, joined by junior Matt Record, will see action for the first time this weekend.

Junior Manuel Lavin, Nebraska’s top golfer, re-turns as the runner-up from last sea-son’s tournament. Senior Kevin Gillick rounds out the Huskers’ lineup as the

No. 5 golfer, with NU’s three newcom-ers sandwiched between Lavin and Gillick.

Four Huskers will also appear in the tournament as individuals.

The Fairway Club Invitational runs through Tuesday at ArborLinks Golf Course, a par-72 course spanning more than 7,000 yards.

PASADENA, CALIF. — Taylor Martinez put the ball in the bel-ly of Ameer Abdullah.

The Nebraska quarterback watched as a UCLA lineman made a move toward Abdullah. Martinez pulled the ball from the I-back’s stomach.

By the time the defender tackled Abdullah, Martinez was breaking into the secondary.

Ninety-two yards later, the junior was in the end zone cel-ebrating the longest touchdown run of his career.

Unfortunately for Martinez and the rest of the Huskers, that play was one of the last things that went right for Nebraska’s offense Saturday during NU’s 36-30 loss to UCLA.

After compiling 333 yards of total offense and 24 points in the first half, the Huskers managed 106 yards and six points in the second.

“There were points out there to be had,” NU coach Bo Pelini said. “We knew what they were doing. To me it starts up front. I don’t think we played well up front in the second half.”

Martinez in particular strug-gled after halftime.

The junior quarterback rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown while completing 13 of 17 passes for 149 yards in the first half. The second half was a completely different game for the California native.

He completed four of his 14 throws for 30 yards in the sec-ond half. He also rushed for 11 more yards.

“(Martinez didn’t play) good enough,” Pelini said. “But I could say that about every guy that walked on that field tonight.”

Martinez’s poor decisions only reinforced the sour statis-tics. In addition to the one in-terception he threw, UCLA de-fenders dropped three Martinez passes that hit them in the hands for possible interceptions.

Twice when he was getting sacked, Martinez attempted to blindly throw the ball away. Once a defender intercepted the attempt, but it was called back because Martinez’s knee was down before he threw it. The other time Martinez tried to avoid a safety by throwing the ball away. The safety happened anyway.

“It was a bad read,” Marti-nez said.

Martinez threw an intercep-tion late in the fourth quarter, giving UCLA a short field to score the deciding touchdown.

Offensive coordinator Tim Beck said he saw Martinez look frazzled at times on the field, along with the rest of the of-fense.

“You know he said he wasn’t (pressing it), I hope he wasn’t,” Beck said. “At times though he was trying to do some things that we had success early on, but weren’t working any more instead of just letting the of-fense run itself.”

Martinez wasn’t the only one at fault forcing things offen-sively, Beck said. “In tight ball games sometimes that’s when that confidence and that resil-ience needs to show up,” Beck said. “Guys need to trust in what we’re doing and not take it upon themselves when it’s close and it’s tough. Every yard is go-ing to count; we just got to keep

NU offense only puts up 106 yards in second half behind junior quarterback

Strap in.After the Blackshirts’ abysmal

showing against UCLA, Husker Nation is full of heartache, and the reason why is obvious.

They’re playing two-hand touch.

Nebraska’s defenders were in good position to make plays the entire game but couldn’t follow through and finish tackles. Fun-damental form seemed alien to most players.

So why didn’t NU coach Bo Pelini do something about it?

Sean Fisher, Nebraska’s top reserve linebacker, a senior who has starting experience and is as smart a player as they make them, played one snap on defense all game. Meanwhile, linebackers Alonzo Whaley and Will Comp-ton were whiffing it up with arm tackles and poor footwork, play-ing nearly every snap of the game.

Take ‘em out, Bo.In fact, the only position that

saw reasonable rotation at all was the defensive line, and even then the defensive ends, who missed a slew of tackles, still played almost every down.

The secondary saw virtually no rotation, with Stanley Jean-Baptiste and Harvey Jackson as the only subs who saw significant time, but they are a normal part of the player rotation.

The Huskers didn’t give their second stringers any playing time. They wouldn’t take players out of the game after a poor attempt at a tackle.

Nebraska’s coaches weren’t holding their players accountable.

In the fourth quarter, with about 8:30 left to play, UCLA quar-terback Brett Hundley dumped a pass off to running back Johna-than Franklin in the left flat. The play should have been blown up by a clump of white jerseys.

Instead, Franklin tore through a weak tackle. He danced around another two NU defenders. Then a few more. Five missed tackles and 54 yards later, Franklin found himself at the Nebraska 21 yard line, setting UCLA up for what would prove to be the game-clinching touchdown.

It all could have been prevent-ed with a simple finished tackle.

Instead, players opted to shove Bruins players, rather than

PASADENA, CALIF. — The Nebraska foot-ball offense trotted on the field midway through the fourth quarter. The ball was on NU’s own 5-yard line.

Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez took the snap and put the ball in the belly of I-back Ameer Abdullah – earlier in the game, Martinez cashed in on a 92-yard touchdown dash on the same play call. And just like on that play, Martinez decided to keep the ball.

As Martinez turned away from Abdul-lah, UCLA defensive lineman Dantone Jones tackled the quarterback in the end zone.

The referee’s hands touched in a pray-ing signal above his head. Safety. Two points were awarded to the Bruins, giving UCLA

all the momentum it needed and a 29-27 lead.

“It was tough,” Nebraska offensive tack-le Jeremiah Sirles said after the game. “We went out there to get a drive going and did that. It hurts. That was a big time turning point.”

The safety put the Bruins two points ahead, and the team ran with that lead to a 36-30 victory against NU on Saturday night in front of 71,530 at the Rose Bowl.

“I’m embarrassed by how we played to-day,” NU coach Bo Pelini said. “I point the thumb at me first. We didn’t play well in any phase of the game in my opinion. We were inconsistent and our fundamentals were

lousy … I give UCLA credit, but I’m disap-pointed.”

Things did start better than they ended for Nebraska.

The Husker offense showed no signs of slowing down after its performance in the season opener against Southern Miss. Ne-braska recorded 333 yards of offense in the first half, including 184 yards rushing.

The highlight was the 92-yard Martinez scamper for a touchdown to give the Husk-ers a 14-7 lead in the first quarter. However, UCLA moved the ball in the first half to stay competitive the Huskers.

Going into this weekend’s Ameri-tas Players Challenge, Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook said

there were two things his team had to improve on in order to come out successful against its three opponents: blocking and playing well on big points.

His team nailed it. The No. 1 Huskers (8-0) es-

caped the three-day tournament with three victories, defeating Oklahoma, Duquesne and No. 19 Kentucky to improve its record to 8-0 this season.

Before the tournament, NU’s three opponents had all won their

previous matchups and posted more blocks than their challeng-ers. The same couldn’t be said when they played the No. 1 team in the nation.

The Huskers began the tour-nament Thursday against for-mer Big 12 opponent OU. In its first matchup since 2010, the two teams went back and forth, tying the match at 10 a piece after 20 serves.

But after a 5-1 stretch that started with a block by Hayley

Thramer to increase its lead to 16-11, the Huskers never looked back and went on to win the set, 25-14.

The big plays by the defense set the tone for the rest of the match, according to Cook.

“I thought our blocking de-fense was exceptional,” he said. “I think Oklahoma just felt like they couldn’t get a ball down any-where on our side of the court.”
