ASUN considers Happy Cab for student taxi service

University restores Love Library cupola

Staff ReportDaily Nebraskan

After a long ride with Lincoln’s only taxi service, Servant Cab, ASUN may be looking to hail a new company for ‘475-RIDE.’

Eric Kamler, president of the Association of Students at the University of Nebraska, said the organization may look to sign a contract with the Happy Cab Company in Omaha to run 475-RIDE, a service designed to help students get home in emergency settings.

Happy Cab was one Omaha company that was approved to join the Lincoln market af-ter a unanimous decision from the Nebraska Public Service

Commission in May. Previously, Lincoln only had one cab compa-ny, Servant Cab, limiting options for ASUN. Servant Cab operates both Capital Cab and Yellow Cab.

“From the sounds of it, happy cab has the resources that we need,” Kamler said. “It seems that we will be getting a deal set up with them where they will be our new cab pro-vider for 475.”

Since its beginning in the late ‘90s, 475-RIDE has become one of the largest expenses for ASUN. Kamler said each year the organization spends more than $93,000 on 475-RIDE, about a third of the student fees ASUN collects.

The restoration and painting of Love Library’s white cupola was fi nished during the week of the Fourth of July, just in time for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to show off its tower-ing Lincoln skyline marker.

Hernandez Painting, the company that tackled the lofty task, was the fi rst to restore the cupola since the library was fi n-ished in 1943 by architects El-lery Davis and Walter Wilson.

Oscar Hernandez, owner of Hernandez Painting, took the job very seriously, saying he “didn’t want to cut any cor-ners,” and that he wants his product to last.

The major restoration proj-ect cost between $60,000 and $65,000, said Jim Jackson, UNL director of building, sys-tems and maintenance. About half of the cost went toward

the scaffolding. Due to heat, elevation and severe deteriora-tion from the cupola’s struc-ture, the scaffolding was a del-icate portion of the operation, he said.

“There was some structural damage with rotting wood, which is what caused us to go after the project,” Jackson said. “We wouldn’t have done much of it we hadn’t known about how bad the wood was.”

The structure had lead-based paint, so Hernandez had to have an Environmental Protec-tion Agency-certifi ed specialist come in to remove and dispose of the toxic paint, adding to the time and cost.

Hernandez said his company took its time with the three-and-a-half-week restoration, mak-ing sure everything was done correctly. Hernandez also had to follow Occupational Safety and Health Administration

Local artist and musician Bryan Klopping is embark-ing on a journey to the city so nice they named it twice: New York City. One of the key ob-jectives in his move to New York is to help Midwest art-ists gain exposure in a larger market as well as to follow his dream.

Klopping took time to sit down with the Daily Nebras-kan and share his insights and reasoning for this transition. To find out more and experience some of the artwork visit: bry-anklopping.com and facebook.com/BryanKloppingArt.Daily Nebraskan: How did you come to this decision? Why New York and why now?Bryan Klopping: I sat down about three years ago when I started my art degree and Jeff Thompson, who has been one of my most influ-ential professors, had every-one fill out a survey about what do you want to do with your art. What I wrote down was: I would like to live off of and for art. The last three years I’ve been ruminating on that and asking myself how I’m going to make that happen. It got to the point where I was doing a lot of great things around Lincoln, was having fun and helping people out by curating shows

and getting people’s stories in the newspaper. I got to the point of “what’s next” and started feeling smoth-ered here. My entire life my dream has been to live in New York and be an artist. I started thinking about it and after a few weeks I decided I was going to move.DN: What is the plan for New York? What do you want to ac-complish?BK: In that process I under-went a change where I would

wake up depressed and not really have any goals, to now waking up and wanting help someone out or better some-one’s life by spreading posi-tivity. Once I started doing that, doors and opportunities started opening up for myself and other people. My goal is to get my feet on the ground, get a couple jobs lined up, start making art and then, once I have a standing, start getting other Nebraskans’ work up there. The market in New York is better because more people

have money to throw around. We have the people, the time and the energy; they have the money.DN: When and how did you come to the decision that you were really going to do this?BK: I was at this thing called FEA$T (Funding Emerging Artists with Sustainable Tac-tics) at the Bemis Center (for Contemporary Arts). Essen-tially it was a group of artists who were presenting ideas of things they want money for, things they would like to accomplish and they gave a speech to about a hundred people. Some had money, some didn’t but the purpose was to make a difference on

codes so everything was done in the safest way pos-sible.

Hernandez got the job because his company has a union contract with the university, granting priority over other bidders.

Because of the intense heat and humidity over the last few weeks, Hernandez was forced to send some employees home early.

“The heat was so bad on the roof it was unsafe to work full days,” he said.

The crew consisted of up to five men working on the cupola at a time.

Hernandez said the two coats oil-based primer and two coats of paint would last 15 to 20 years. Jack-son added jokingly that the wood has been refurbished and should last longer than his job here at UNL.

The paint was replaced with environmentally friendly paint, Jackson said. He added that they are look-ing into other historical buildings on campus that are in need of refurbish-ment. They will make a list of all the buildings in need, draw up an estimated cost and start trying to gather funding. WESToNPooR@DAiLyNEBRASkAN.coM

When it comes to music, it can be diffi cult to avoid the cookie-cut-ter, popular music that permeates

the airwaves with every turn of the dial. Luckily for Lincoln residents, this predic-

ament can be avoided by experiencing the Capital City’s growing music scene.

Lincoln musicians may not fi t the mold of popular music, but that’s what makes the city’s music scene so great — artists who love to play for the sake of music.

In this week’s issue the DN provides a larger-than-usual look at area music, featur-ing local album reviews and musician pro-fi les.

The DN editorial staff would like to en-courage you to take this opportunity to learn more about our great music community — but it shouldn’t stop there.

Lincoln has more to offer musically than we could cover in an entire summer.

The city offers a variety of music venues that regularly hold shows, allowing for a variety of opportunities to experience local musicians.

In addition to these accessible venues, Lin-coln also hosts a few local music festivals aimed at exposing residents to the variety of music the city has to offer. Lincoln Exposed and Lincoln Calling are two such festivals that feature local artists, and money raised from these events supports these artists.

If these festivals aren’t enough to satisfy your eardrums, Hear Nebraska (hearne-braska.org) also provides an excellent place to learn about Nebraska’s growing music scene. The Nebraska-music-focused web-site provides regular music updates, musi-cian profi les and will soon have an online radio station.

As for Lincoln’s airwaves, there’s also the university’s own 90.3 KRNU. This station’s goal is to provide you the best indie blend in the city. The station also features local artists and relevant campus information.

All these elements come together to make Lincoln’s music scene something we as a paper recommend you all support today.

Lincoln’s music scene showcases best of the area

Creating taboo fi ctional pairings promotes poor ideals

Bea HuffDaily Nebraskan

I’m going down with this ship.Shipping is a term used in

many fandoms to describe the belief in or approval of a rela-tionship between two charac-ters, fi ctional or non-fi ctional. These relationships can range from intimate to platonic or even violent.

Basically, if a fan is emo-tionally invested in a relation-ship between two characters, no matter the level of intimacy, they ship those characters. Personally, I ship Tony Stark and Bruce Banner’s science-bromance because it fi ts per-fectly with their characters and Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo have a great on-screen dynamic.

Shipping can involve any kind of pairing from the well-established to the ambiguous and even the highly improbable or blatantly impossible. For ex-ample, some fans ship Damian Wayne and Stephanie Brown, the current Robin and Batgirl, even though most of their can-non interactions consist mostly of them throwing snide re-marks and rude comments at each other.

Shippers also range in the intensity of their belief of ships. Some insist that their non-cannon ships do or will exist while others simply hope for their ships to become true. There are a lot of fans who ship Sherlock and Dr. Watson and even though there is no direct

evidence of a romantic rela-tionship between the two, they fi nd plenty of their own “proof” to support their ships.

Additionally, if a fan ships a pairing above all others, they could call it their OTP, or “one true pairing.” As a fan of “X-Men: The Animated Series,” Rogue and Gambit will always be my OTP.

Now this is where it gets weird.

The thing about shipping is it’s often directly related to fan-fi ction, which sometimes treads in the taboo. It’s not too hard to fi nd fan-fi cs across many fan-doms that promote incest, bes-tiality and pedophilia.

There are a disturbingly high number of fans that ship in-cestual relationships between brothers. Sam and Dean from Supernatural, Thor and Loki (though they aren’t technically brothers so that doesn’t en-tirely count) and the Wea-sley twins are just some examples of this kind of ship.

I have no problem with shipping het-erosexual characters in homo-sexual rela-tionships and vice versa because sexuality is fl uid so at least there is some pos-sibility for these ships to come true.

However, I fi nd this trend of promoting in-cest disturbing. A lot of these ships can be de-fended by pointing out that the characters in-volved in these pairings are fi ctional and that the ship- p e r s under-s t a n d

that it’s all made up, but that doesn’t negate the fact that these kinds of ships are endors-ing unhealthy and dangerous relationships.

It’s easy to hide under the excuse that ships and fan-fi c-tion aren’t supposed to be taken seriously but there are lots of impressionable young minds entering into various fandoms every day who are being ex-posed to these kinds of ideas and being told that they are OK.

But it’s not OK.Incest is not only considered

taboo across every culture but it can also be mentally and physi-cally damaging to all parties involved.

I’m not trying

to tell anyone how to be a fan or what they can and cannot ship, but I do want to throw out a word of caution to shippers of the taboo. It’s extremely im-portant to be aware of the kinds of ideas you are promoting and who you are promoting them to, so be careful what you ship.

This week, Nebraskans can hear music from all around the world at the Nebraska Pop Festival... as long as they are at least 21 years old.

Returning for its fourth year, the international music festival will be held July 10 through July 15 and will benefi t Arts For All, Inc., a nonprofi t orga-nization that provides arts edu-cation to children.

“The typical audience at the festival is very supportive of the musicians participating in the event,” said event orga-nizer Christopher Beierman. “While there (are) some that come out to see familiar bands, there are many that attend to give bands unfamiliar to them a listen. I do this festival for the bands and for the commu-nity; we welcome any support of which anyone is willing to offer the festival, additionally we welcome all types of peo-ple from all walks of life. We

are inviting and welcoming to everyone that would like to at-tend.”

Despite this year’s age re-striction due to an Omaha city ordinance, Beierman hopes that future events will be more in-clusive of those under 21.

“My dream is that, someday, the Omaha city ordinance sees some revision with regards to the ability for those under 21 to attend concerts without restriction,” he said. “From what I am aware of, I believe that in Lincoln, when restric-tions apply, it’s for those under age 18 with regards to attend-ing shows. There is a large segment of the population of which are college students and recent high school gradu-ates that make up the 18 to 20 demographic and I’d like to see some all-ages venues rise to prominence in the Omaha and Lincoln area. This would greatly help out Nebraska mu-sic by allowing access to con-certs for those of all ages.”

While younger fans may be disappointed, in some situations

the musicians themselves may fall under the restriction during their own performance.

“I will be 20 on Septem-ber 2,” said Ryan McKeever, drummer for the band In Love. “With playing shows in bars it has meant different things at different locations. At some places it hasn’t been an issue and at others I have been un-able to play or have had to leave immediately after getting off stage, which of course is never fun.”

In Love will perform at Bar-ley Street Tavern in Omaha on July 12 as part of the festival.

“The policy, I believe, is as follows,” Beierman said. “Any performers under the age of 21 may only be inside the es-tablishment for the duration of their equipment setup and per-formance, and must leave the premises immediately follow-ing their performance.”

Although McKeever faces the restriction himself, as well as the consequences for not ad-hering to the policy, he is aware of the reason behind it.

“The policies are there for a reason,” he said. “Nobody wants a 16-year-old to go into their bar, cause trouble and then have that venue lose their liquor license. While the rules are not always fun, especially for fans under 21, we understand and respect the policies that are not only defi ned by the venue, but also by the state.”

Overall, younger musicians have fewer issues with playing shows that are 21 and over than the younger fans that come to see the shows at such events.

“We haven’t had too much of a problem booking shows due to age restrictions,” McKeever said. “Excluding when we were going to play at a venue in Iowa, where the policies are much stricter on the age of per-formers. When it comes to get-ting fans out, sometimes it can be more diffi cult at the shows that are 21 and over, since a large part of our fan base is the college crowd, and some of those fans haven’t reached 21 yet.”

Age restrictions aside, the

festival will offer a wide range of music for attendees to enjoy.

“As in previous years, the event continues to feature in-ternational talent, in addition to excellent talent from across the USA,” Beierman said. “The bands featured at this year’s festival are very eclectic. There is a little something for every-one.”

The event started in 2009 and included musicians Beier-man had friended through his record label. In preparation for the 2012 festival, he devoted more time exploring music that was less familiar.

“Each year is always differ-ent with regards to setup,” he said. “More countless hours were spent than in years past with regards to fi nding talent I would not have otherwise found. I dedicated my ears to plenty of bands that were com-pletely new to me.”

As the even grows older and its fans do as well, the event continues to highlight music listeners might otherwise miss.

“The goal has always been

to bring a breath of fresh air, by showcasing talent that is new to the area,” Beierman said. “I’m very proud that it’s lasted this long, this wouldn’t have been possible without the bands, the venues and the support of the community.”

Putting together a festival that is more atypical, given the addition of international per-formers, would be hard work and time-consuming for any or-ganizer. But Beierman consid-ers it worth the effort.

“There are never any easy solutions for doing your own thing. I choose to work hard for everyone that has been given the opportunity to perform at the event and for everyone at-tending so that they can all experience something that is unique and memorable.”

Breaking a 10-year relationship is tough, especially if it was your first. Tougher yet is the struggle to redefine yourself once it’s all over.

In Darren Keen’s case, he’s had to deal with a tough split — with himself. About a month ago, he even wrote himself a breakup letter announcing the end of his 10-year one-man show, The Show is the Rain-bow.

Keen has been a prominent figure in Lincoln’s music scene. He organized the now annual Good Speakers Music Festi-val that took over O Street last fall and has worked in several musical groups. But what has made Keen a known figure for the past 10 years was his solo act. This past June, he officially ended the group to fully focus on his most recent project, Touch People.

The Show is the Rainbow was a live show that toured the nation, and the world, for a de-cade. In sets, Keen would per-form his own material, backed by tracks he produced that spanned genres from rock, funk electro-pop, to psychedelic.

Keen ended the group last month.

“I’ve done all just about everything I could do in a one -man band; just running around and singing over beats,” he said. “The Show is the Rain-bow was a band that docu-mented my insecurities. I was always trying to make another sound, or make another album or do something new on stage that would keep people inter-ested in talking about me.”

Sonically, the one-man band was a mix of genres and styles, but it was Keen’s performance and stage presence that rede-fined the project. Keen would

take command of whatever space he was performing in, shirtless, and would dance up and down. Keen admits he took some cues from the bravado of rap artists.

“It’s kind of funny,” he said. “(Rappers) are so good at talk-ing themselves up that they are able to convince so many peo-ple that they have this world of talent that a lot of them don’t have. That is such a really powerful thing. When I would being doing The Show is the Rainbow, I would be able to slay a heckler with some crazy shit and always one up them. But if you talk to me in real life, I stutter and I’m kind of shy.”

That showy bravado may have turned off some fans. Keen said people are quick to assume he is shallow and pure-ly self-absorbed by sticking to a one-man show that relies so much on personality. He admits there is truth to that.

“I am definitely a self-ab-sorbed dude for sure,” he said. “But that’s OK, because I have a healthy outlet for it with my one-man band. I honestly am an egomaniac but only in a musical way ... at least I’m just playing music and not ruining anyone’s life.”

Keen was born and raised in Lincoln. After being sur-rounded by music as a child, he started playing the guitar in eighth grade. Keen took several music theory courses in high school that he said still help him today. It was also around this time Keen began to grow his gigging legs.

Keen replaced his guitar tu-tor in a pop/rock group called Musico, and started touring right out of high school in a band with friends that played mostly Incubus covers. When that group disbanded within a year, Keen found himself look-ing for more, specifically how

to combine the sounds running through his mind.

“While I was in bands, I wanted to have a really differ-ent band,” he said. “The groups I was in weren’t too different-sounding. I liked freaky-weird music. I liked chord progres-sions and sounds that aren’t usually found in pop music. I liked beats, the computer and hip hop.”

Coming up during the Sad-dle Creek Records era, many of Keen’s peers had similar goals of breaking into that scene. Keen looked elsewhere.

“I just wanted to kick it, do-ing different kinds of music,” Keen said. “I started getting really into the computer to see how I could control the whole sound of a band with just one guy.”

And that was the moment The Show is the Rainbow was born. Keen played 100 shows during his gig’s first year. Be-cause The Show is the Rain-bow was one of Keen’s early groups, it is where he honed his style. He said extensive ex-perimentation has helped him to develop knowledge about

different genres of music, which allows him to be flexible when composing. Keen’s cre-ative process was very much in a vacuum during The Show is the Rainbow. All creative input solely came from him. In hind-sight, Keen says he isn’t too proud of it.

“To be honest, that has been a problem,” he said. “I think that’s why The Show is the Rainbow ran its course for me.”

However, Keen has come to fully understand his creative process.

“I work best if I am just

thinking about the sound on my own,” he said. “I have such a maximalist approach to mu-sic that there isn’t much room for people’s ideas in it. There might be more room when it comes to playing. I really want people who want to play in a band with me. I want to write all the music and then direct musicians ... until I find people who want to do whatever I tell them to do with their instru-ments, then I’m just going to keep playing by myself.”

Keen splits with former one-man persona

LISTENING IN LINCOLN

Green Trees — “FreiDelic”Green Trees is a Lincoln-based minimal rock-surf trio of John Fre-idel, Joe Foreman and Evan Hill. They aren’t exclusively electronic or acoustic, but they released an entirely acoustic record in 2010 and a heavily distorted experimental rock EP in 2011.

Their latest release, “Freidelic,” pulls from a strange palette of tex-tures and sounds. Though not as strange as their “Tubular Dude EP,” it still takes some getting used to. Rather than aggressive and other-worldly, the textures and sounds in Freidelic are humorously bland. Each track uses stock rock ‘n’ roll surf rhythms on flat electronic drums and whiny lead synths that walk the fine line between funny and an-noying. Freidel’s voice is hilariously average and off-key, but his lyr-ics, as always, are genuine and honest.

“Freidelic” is corny, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t relatable. If anything, it makes it accessible and fun. The music is simple, easy and sometimes funny. Freidel may not have the songwriting muscle of Jon Brion or may not be a masterful sound scientist like Beck, but he can still churn out a fun song or two.

As an album, “Freidelic” is still lacking of substance, musical direction and focus. It’s not the most skillfully produced album, to put it nicely. But if you are looking for a fun record with a very do-it-yourself sound and feel paried with average-everyman lyrics you can relate to, “Freidelic” may be worth a listen.

eli MarDocK — “ne sorrow is Born”Eli Mardock is Omaha-born and Lincoln-schooled.

Mardock’s new EP, “NE Sorrow is Born,” is an enchanting and trance-inducing pop album. From the opening track, Mar-dock’s steady whisper of a voice draws you into 30 minutes of deliciously eerie pop music. The former Eagle Seagull front-man’s voice is clean and concise but is also soft and lush when layered.

The album is well-paced and produced. The instrumenta-tion is excellent and limited, the string arrangement’s effective and emotive and the tracks themselves are well-crafted. There are few dull moments or lulls in pacing. It rides at a moder-ate, creeping tempo through some beautifully eerie tracks. It’s ghastly and spacious on some, yet delicate and beautiful on the next. But all the songs have a subtle bite. After a steady build, Mardock reaches a musical climax of perfect balance, one can almost get chills.

“NE Sorrow” is a full, lush EP that is absolutely worth the listen.

Bus Gas — “6 MoveMenTs in 4 Hours”Bus Gas is a local improvisational electron-ic drone band. The group’srelease “6 Move-ments in 4 Hours” is a set of six lengthy, beautiful tracks of slowly churning tones and sounds. On their Facebook page, the band jokes about their album title: “It’s a poop joke, a commentary on our own oc-casional lethargy and a more literal descrip-tion of the album’s recording process.”

From the onset, this album wraps the lis-tener in a blanket of atmosphere beyond any-thing else previously experienced. The blend of soothing and dissonant sounds seem to appear out of thin air creating this unique, ever-changing musical landscape. This is a great album for an hour’s worth of good background study music but also for those hungry musicians looking for something complex and interesting to analyze and learn from. Both the musical content and production quality of this album are testaments to the exciting things going on in Lincoln’s independent music scene.

Regardless of what genre you are into, “6 Movements” is worth a listen.

Brian vranciar — “Brian vranicar”Brian Vranicar, a local singer-songwriter in his mid-20s, recently released his first album, a self-titled EP. Vranicar started playing guitar in eighth grade and when he was in high school, he spent several hours each day honing his skills and writing songs. He graduated college with a minor in music and has started increasing the number of shows he plays around town, both solo and with other musicians.

On his EP, Vranicar handles both acoustic and electric rhythm and lead lines with pre-cision and style. As a vocalist, guitarist and songwriter, he dips into rock and folk genres, with a heavy dose of blues influ-ence. Lyrically, he is genuine — the EP is packed with simple pop lyrics that are easy to relate to. If this record is any indication, I think we can expect to hear more from this musician in the near future. A good listen for fans of John Mayer and Jason Mraz.

June marked the 63rd year Omaha, Neb., has held the College World Series.

It seems that with each se-ries, there’s always an under-dog that wins the hearts of the Omaha crowd. This year, there were two candidates for the Cinderella story. Both Stony Brook and Kent State made their fi rst trips to Omaha last month.

The two teams were greeted warmly by the crowd, and you couldn’t help but cheer the teams on as they played on the biggest stage the programs have ever seen.

After watching this year’s tournament I couldn’t help but think that another team could have been here, another team that also had the potential to become a fan-favorite and could have traveled not by a plane, but by a bus.

I’m talking about the Ne-braska Cornhuskers.

Their story may not be as uplifting as the Seawolves or Golden Eagles since they’ve made three visits in the past, but the last time the Huskers played baseball in the tourna-ment was in 2005.

Since then, the furthest the NU has gone has been the regionals level of the NCAA

tournament. This year, the team made a quick exit in its fi rst Big Ten Tournament. But this season showed signs of hope for the coming years.

In its fi rst year under new head coach Darin Erstad, NU fi nished the season 35-23. The record was an improvement from the team’s 30-25 regular season in 2011, the team’s fi rst winning season since 2008.

Prior to this season Erstad made it a point to turn things around and so far, he’s kept his promise.

During his fi rst season

Erstad did something Mike Anderson couldn’t do in his last three seasons: Post a win-ning record away from Hay-market Park. Between 2009 and 2011, Anderson posted a combined 17-45 record on the road.

The record away wasn’t the only dismal record Erstad out-shined.

The three seasons prior to Erstad’s signing, NU also posted a 27-53 record in non-conference play. In 2012, the Huskers went 14-10 outside the Big Ten Conference. Of

course, team records aren’t the only statistics that show poten-tial for a better outcome next season.

Most teams operate under the idea that “pitching wins games,” but for NU, it was all about the batter’s box.

With its pitching staff’s earned run average plummet-ing from 3.98 in 2011 to 4.40 this season, the team’s position players were forced to prog-ress in all aspects with the bat. And they did.

The Road to Success?

Lanny HolsteinDaily Nebraskan

When the board of university presidents decided to shake up the college football landscape last week with their landmark institution of a college football playoff, they tossed in an im-portant nugget of information with the bigger news. The pres-idents announced that a selec-tion committee, and no longer a poll, would be the method used to determine the four playoff participants.

That’s big news.With all the attention being

paid to the BCS’s demise, the change in selection processes went under the radar. Now that the dust has settled on this big announcement, it is time to ex-amine this important detail.

Not a lot is known about the makeup of this new body, but it is evident that the commit-tee will have great power and should be chosen carefully. Two issues will arise during the formation process: Both the size of the body and the guidelines used to populate it. Whatever the eventual for-mula ends up being, it needs to be employed with the goal of eliminating bias and creat-ing an atmosphere of objectiv-ity. There is a great deal of bias in and around sports and there is no way to eliminate that. Whether the committee is made up of former coaches, universi-ty presidents, sports writers or anyone else, those people are all going to bring some sort of bias to the meeting table.

For sizing purposes, the com-mittee should be rather large. Somewhere in the 40-member range seems like it would be about right. Any more than that and the number starts to get a

bit unwieldy. A committee of 100 people would not be the most effective or effi cient way to go in respect to logistics. The time it would take to give that many people a chance to speak their minds and hold a healthy debate would be outlandish.

But there does need to be some effort in the direction of expanding the number to cre-ate fairness and lower regional bias. The larger the number of members, the more diverse they could be and the more spread is possible in their geographic lo-cations. College football is a re-gional sport. It’s based on con-ferences and regional cultures. A team’s style of play can even be traced to its regional or con-ference roots, and along with the theme of regional styles of play comes regional bias.

A panel of sports writers from the South is going to be naturally biased toward the SEC. The writers can’t help it. They live in SEC country and see those teams week in and week out. When it comes time to select four teams, they are naturally going to favor the SEC team that they saw play four or fi ve times in person over the Big Ten team they may have seen on TV once or twice.

Regional is not the only type of bias the committee needs to avoid. Bias due to organi-zational ties and contractual obligations need to be looked at as well. The committee’s constituents should take into account the fact that some or-ganizations, such as ESPN, have contracts with certain teams (Texas) and conferences (the SEC, Big Ten, Pac-12 and ACC) and some people, such as former coaches, have relation-ships with certain teams they may have worked for in the past.

There is no one group of people that should make up the committee. It needs to be a balanced group including former coaches, media ana-lysts and university presidents.

Balance key for BCS committee

Grunting regulations step over the line

FOOTBALL | PAGE 8

2012 season shows potential for future CWS appearance

FILE PHOTO BY ANNA REED | DAILY NEBRASKAN

Lanny HolsteinDaily Nebraskan

Grunting will soon be a punishable offense in women’s

tennis.Yeah, you read that

right. the Women’s Tennis Association is working to end many players’ practice of grunting loudly as they swing their racquets. The association, along with the International Tennis Federation and the Grand Slam tournament committees, doesn’t want athletes making noises that upset some fans.

When the legislation passes, notable grunters such as Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams will be required to keep quiet when they are on the court. According to WTA CEO Stacey Allister, the intent of the regulation is to prevent a new generation of grunters from coming into women’s tennis. The WTA hopes to curb the “problem” by nipping it in the bud.

What problem?Tennis players have been

grunting for years. It didn’t seem to be a problem for anyone before this regulation was put forward.

So what changed?The practice of grunting

is really kind of funny. For whatever reason, some players think it helps them perform better. They feel like it gives them an edge over the competition. They think it helps them put a little more power on their shots or spin on their volleys. It’s similar to the guy at the gym who breathes hard or grunts loudly while he is bench pressing. You might think he looks ridiculous, but is he really hurting anything by making those noises?

No.The benefi t of grunting

is debatable. Some people swear by it, while others think it is unnecessary. No matter your opinion though on its benefi ts, how can it be banned?

Tennis is a competitive sport. The athletes want any edge, any advantage they can get on the competition. If they think that grunting as they hit the ball will help them achieve

that then more power to them. Tennis, as with all sports,

is more than simply a physical contest. There is a distinct mental aspect to it as well. Grunting might be something that makes the athletes think they are hitting the ball harder. It might be something that gives them a little added confi dence that they need.

There is no doubt that the grunting is distracting. Some critics though, claim the grunting is akin to yelling, “I got it,” in the face of a baseball player as he attempts to make a catch on a pop-up. If you remember back a few years, Alex Rodriguez took some heat for this in 2007. There is a connection, both involve distraction, but these are not the same thing. The baseball example involves a player directly attempting to confuse an opponent, while grunting is not a targeted distraction but more of an exclamation point on the end of the player’s swing. In either case, the athletes are just trying to win.

Enforcement of the new grunting rules will be interesting. Seriously, how are offi cials going to determine what is a legal grunt and what is excessive? That is completely a judgment call. If this rule is meant to appease a group of fans with sensitive eardrums, how are offi cials to know when that goal has been reached.

The WTA is getting out of hand with this regulation. What’s next, penalizing players if their shoes squeak?

a local scene. There was such a great energy as I was listen-ing to people talk and looking at some of the art, I was like, “This is incredible, I need this every day of my life.” But I realized that even in Omaha I couldn’t have this every day. I ended up talking to some older artists that I knew at the Bemis and told them I was thinking about moving to New York City. They all basically said, “Why don’t you?” That’s kind of what put me over the edge and made me decide.DN: What is it about Midwest art that portrays something that is more emotional and dynamic than some of the art from New York that is not quite up to the same stan-dard?BK: I think a lot of it is really raw and it’s people learning about themselves, where they are at and doing what they can with their time, as opposed to growing up in a huge art mar-ket and seeing what sells and what they need to do, what their stuff should look like. A lot of my friends have been creating their own style with-out walking around to galler-ies looking for what sells for $20,000 and trying to create something similar. Ben Kam-prath is one of my favorite local artists and he sells his prints for totally reasonable prices but he should be sell-ing them for 10 times as much. But, people just can’t buy it for that here.DN: What can people do to help you out?

BK: First and foremost, I hate to say it, but money. If anyone wanted to commission pieces I’m all about that. I do that a couple times a week. Someone will like a piece I’ve done and want something like it. Also First Friday where I’ll be sell-ing all the art that I own and have made for what people can afford. I have quite the collec-tion and that will be that last of my belongings that I’m go-ing to part with. They hold the most value to me but I don’t appreciate them. They are all in storage and somebody should appreciate them instead of them collecting dust in a closet.DN: What is your favorite as-pect of New York City?BK: Anonymity. I can walk around Lincoln with a Bright Eyes T-shirt with torn off sleeves and jeans stained with paint and everybody keeps looking two or three times wondering what I’m doing. In New York you can walk around in gold sequins wearing half an animal cos-tume and yelling. Nobody cares.DN: What are you most looking forward to?BK: It’s a fresh start for me. I feel like I’ve exhausted the Lincoln grind. I think I’ve worked too hard for too long and not seen any of the fruit of the labor. Finally I feel like I have a chance at chang-ing people’s lives in a good way, restarting and just being happy as opposed to feeling

stagnant.DN: What are your obstacles in this process?BK: I have accumulated so many material things over the last decade and now I need to find homes for all of them. The things I need to worry about now is get-ting rid of my stuff, finding a good home for my cat and making sure I have enough money. I think I’ve found a place in New York for my cat though. Once I get those things taken care of I’m ready to leave tomorrow basically. For New York, I think I’m taking a bunch of art, some art supplies, clothes, a laptop, a camera and a projector. That’s it. This is what I need to sur-vive and everything else is just holding me down. The stuff I don’t appreciate on a daily basis, why do I have this in my life. So, it’s going to be a month and a half of purging.DN: What would be the worst possible situation for you?BK: My friend Darren Keen put it best, there is no worst pos-sible situation. Worst case sce-nario I could get shot ... alright, that could happen anywhere. Second to that: I got rid of a bunch of stuff I didn’t want to have anymore, I got a breath of fresh air, I moved to New York for a while, had a prolonged vacation and really went for it. That’s more than a lot of people can say.

As he develops new work in the music scene, Keen said outgrowing The Show is the Rainbow only natural.

“I started that band when I was 20 years old,” he said. “I realize I’m now better at what I want to be doing: impress-ing people, just musically. I don’t want the audience leav-ing one of my shows to feel merely entertained by some antics.”

Keen said he’s very excited about what is to come. He is currently investing all of his creative energy into one new group, Touch People. As someone who usually juggles several projects at once, Keen struggled to place his creative focus on one group, but he said it’s for the best.

“I needed to change some-thing. I couldn’t get any of my bands to be at the level I want-ed them to be at,” Keen said.

He recalls his friends and family advising him to work on less projects.

“A normal person with three jobs would might say they are too busy and quit one,” Keen said. “But bands don’t seem like that to a musician. They all seem so important. It was

a long process of coming to terms with the idea that just because I can make that much music doesn’t mean I need to.”

However, Keen said he doesn’t want anyone to think he is settling down or taking it easy.

“To me, Touch People is weirder in a more musical way.” he said. “I’m trying to do different things in com-position I have never done before ... somewhere be-tween that completely insane fucked-up-ness of The Show is the Rainbow and your nor-mal prog rock band.”

He still has the same drive; it is only more intense. Keen spends seemingly endless hours in the studio — he said he often wakes up there. He is proud of his work and above all, it excites him.

Keen’s excitement may very well be contagious. John Freidel, a close friend of Keen’s, said he simply enjoys his company.

“He still knows how to par-ty, but he is a smart and intel-ligent man,” Freidel said.

Freidel is a local musician who created Green Trees

and is a member of a few other local bands, including Universe Contest. Freidel’s band-juggling was one of the many reasons why Keen said Freidel reminded him of his younger self. Keen has showed Freidel the ropes of the music industry.

“He doesn’t preach,” said Freidel. “I think he under-stands that people need to fi g-ure things out for themselves. He respects that; he’s not very judgemental.”

Freidel said he appreciates Keen’s honesty as well.

“He’s not reserved; if some-one is bothering him, he won’t back down,” Freidel said.

As Keen continues to build on his career and to guide mu-sicians younger than himself, he has grown to defi ne himself through both.

“Back in the day, I was a lot more humble,” Keen said. “The straight-up truth of it is I’m so untalented in a million things and I have one thing I am really good at. I’m a terrible cook; I’m a terrible public speaker, but I’m pretty fucking good at playing music.”

“They Call It Myanmar: Lifting the Curtain” is a crash course in Burma, the once prosperous southeast Asian country. It at-tempts to show how years of British imperialism and subse-quent military regime got the country where it is today.

At times the documentary plays like a travelogue, show-casing beautiful Buddhist temples and friendly people. But the fi lm dives deeper to reveal that children are more likely to be put to work than stay in school and that simple health care is not affordable for most. The drop-off between wealthy and poor is as steep as it is absurd; mini-mansions are literally across the street from shantytowns. Director Robert H. Lieberman shot the docu-mentary on a camcorder during two separate visits to Burma. He was not allowed to fi lm in most areas but he did anyway. Most interviewees are not seen on screen to protect their pri-vacy.

The participants who do ap-pear are hidden with blurred faces, because it is common to disappear if one is overly critical of the government. One interviewee — off-screen — is excited when asked his opinion on the state of things because no one has ever asked him what he thinks before.

Burma has been kept under a military dictatorship for the last 50 years, and has largely been shielded from outside infl uences. The military pres-ence is apparent, though the leaders prefer to remain out of the spotlight. One of the few interviewees to appear on camera is Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize

winner and leader of the main opposition party in Burma. A supporter of democracy, Suu Kyi was kept under house ar-rest for nearly two decades and was fi nally released shortly after her interview was shot.

This spring she was awarded a seat in parliament as Burma undergoes political reforms. Though it’s impossible to cap-ture an entire country and its culture in one fi lm, Lieberman gives it his best shot. Some of the director’s sources seem less than reliable but are taken at their word. Yet there is an ear-nestness to the fi lm that makes it worth watching and Lieber-man seems enchanted with the

country. The documentary provides

a window into an unfamiliar culture and way of life, which alone makes “Myanmar” worth your time, whatever they are calling it.

Long-awaited ‘Idler Wheel’ digs deep with lyrics, sound

Joe WadeDaily Nebraskan

The simply titled “The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw And Whipping Chords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do” is Fiona Ap-ple’s fourth and newest al-bum. It’s also possibly her best yet.

It has been seven years since her last album, but “The Idler Wheel” seems to have been worth the wait, as it has been met with univer-sal acclaim by music critics. The style is jazz infused alt-rock, which digs in like ra-zor blades when paired with Apple’s enchanting voice and subtly intense lyrics. A haunting vibe makes the musical composition on the album equally elusive as much of the instrumentation, mostly drums and piano, is

masked behind the vocal which is an instrument unto itself — an instrument that Apple masterfully wields like a dagger.

Listening to “The Idler Wheel” creates a feeling sim-ilar to walking into a strange house whose owner has mys-teriously left the door open and, as the lights in the corri-dor fl icker, the feeling of be-ing watched creeps in. A mix of ripened teenage angst, bruised emotions and intro-spective wisdom keeps the listener at arm’s length un-til subsequent listens bring preconceived notions down to its level. Once it settles in, it hits just the right spot, though.

Although Apple seems to be out for blood, she is not without a sense of humor on the album. The song “Were-wolf” is a matter-of-fact jaun-ty tune about a breakup and opens with, “I could liken you

to a werewolf the way you left me for dead, but I admit that I provided a full moon.” The use of “liken” is just one of many plays on words that are scattered throughout the album.

Overall “The Idler Wheel” will certainly grab attention despite its chal-lenging aspects. Do not miss this one. It is abso-lutely worth a bottle of red wine on a lonely humid summer night as the moody complexity grows on you and becomes appreciation and enjoyment.

Members of ASUN are con-sidering Happy Cab because the company offers lower rates than Servant Cab, something Kamler said could alleviate some of the issues the organization has had with 475-RIDE in the past.

“We’ve had problems with 475,” he said. “It almost went bankrupt because students were really overusing it.”

ASUN keeps track of each student that uses the program and covers fares that are used in emergency situations. If a student uses it for a non-emer-gency, ASUN contacts him or her to ask for payment.

However, Kamler said this process creates a lot of paper-work that ASUN must manage.

He said ideally the new com-pany would have a way for stu-dents to scan their NCard, pos-sibly cutting down on having ASUN staff in the office.

Overall, Kamler said he be-lieves the change could be an op-portunity to “redefine 475-RIDE as a good student service.”

Members of ASUN will know more in September after they get a definitive answer from Happy Cab.

Until then, Kamler said he is just happy to have more options for ASUN to work with.

“The lower rates will be able to help out with student fees,” Kamler said. “It’s very good news to have competition be-tween cabs in Lincoln.”

Starters Chad Christensen, Kash Kalkowski, Michael Pritchard and Josh Scheffert all increased their averages by 10 points or higher this season. Christensen, Pritchard and Scheffert also increased their

home runs and runs batted in from last season. All four will return next year.

With positive signs of up-swing by NU batting and the development of sophomore pitchers Kyle Kubat and

Aaron Bummer and seniors Dylan Vogt, Ryan Hander and Travis Huber, it’s possible that this team could see itself into the postseason next year.

While it’s impossible to tell whether Erstad and his club

will claim the school’s first-ev-er baseball national champion-ship, it’s not premature to pre-dict that the team has potential to make that trip to downtown Omaha next June.

They need to be people that are involved and interested in the game. Bringing in former coaches allows the committee some expertise and a view of the game they may not be able to find anywhere else. Media

analysts bring in an outside perspective, and university presidents give the committee a few members who do not have a rooting interest in terms of fanhood.

There is no doubt each of

these members will bring in a level of bias. No matter how calm and emotionally objec-tive they seem (think Tom Osborne) they still carry some baggage into the discussion. By conjuring up a cross-section of

regionally and positionally dif-ferent members, the committee would be best served to elimi-nate the preeminence of any one particular bias.

That’s all you can ask for.LANNyHOLstEiN@DAiLyNEbrAskAN.cOm
