The chapter has been placed under one academic year suspen- sion for violating the national chapter’s “human dignity policy” and “national hazing policy,” the organization said in a press release. The historically Latina sorority may be able to resume activities in June 2013 if they com- ply with the national office. The national organization did not release details on the extent of the hazing. UNL chapter leaders would not comment and several attempts to reach the chapter’s at- torney were unsuccessful. Linda Schwartzkopf, direc- tor of Greek Affairs at UNL, said neither she nor the Greek Affairs office would comment on the so- rority’s suspension because Sig- ma Lambda Gamma’s National Headquarters Office issued the suspension. In 2009, nearly a dozen Sigma Chi fraternity members at the UNL were charged with hazing misconduct after allegations they verbally and physically abused pledges, including allegations that the victims were penetrated by a stripper with a vibrator. UNL’s Nu Beta chapter is not the first chapter of Sigma Lambda Gamma to be suspended for haz- ing. In 2009, the University of Florida’s Sigma Lambda Gamma chapter was shut down for five years for initiating new members through push-ups, running, sleep deprivation and restrictions on Facebook usage as reported by the Independent Florida Alliga- tor. The Alligator reported that the same chapter was suspended in 2003 for three years. Hazing, as defined in the Sig- ma Lambda Gamma handbook, is “any act or tradition that endan- gers the physical, mental or emo- tional well-being of an Associate and/or Initiated member.” Examples of such hazing in- clude embarrassing or required stunts and costumes, harassing, personal services or deprivation of sleep, and the handbook added that any chapter officer found re- sponsible for allowing such activ- ities shall be removed from office. Violation of the sorority’s hazing policy by a member can poten- tially result in “termination of membership or suspension, with- drawal or dissolution of charter,” according to the handbook. “The National Headquarters Office will be facilitating a Re-Ed- ucation meeting with all current members to evaluate risky behav- iors/practices,” the release said. Members of the sorority will also be trained to become certified educators of the National Associ- ate Member Education Program. The sorority has also been found as violating the organization’s national “human dignity policy.” The policy states primarily that “each chapter/colony will ex- press its disapproval of hazing.” The suspension comes as several multicultural Greek or- ganizations on campus prepare for Friday’s Multicultural Greek Stroll-Off on the Nebraska Union Plaza, which Schwartzkopf said the sorority would not be compet- ing in. Sadid Carrillo, the Multicul- tural Greek Council President and a senior finance major, also said he could not comment on the nature of the suspension but did say “it will impact multicultural Greeks with one less group being visible on campus.” Carrillo added that, in terms of the Multicultural Greek Stroll- Off, “I guess it just means one less competitor.” Sigma Lambda Gamma was founded in 1990 at the Univer- sity of Iowa. The sorority has since aimed to be an organization for all cultural backgrounds and touts almost 3,000 members from more than 110 different nationali- ties according to the sorority’s na- tional website.

It was enough to call the rover mission a stunning success. Work by a team including three University of Nebraska-Lin- coln researchers and a research assistant, however, suggests the rover might have been looking at the petrified signature of not just water, but also of life. Their findings show microbes likely had a hand in forming rust balls here on Earth — iron oxide concretions that look a lot like those Opportunity found embed- ded in a Martian boulder eight years ago. It all started with a simple question, “How does the sphere just form?” said Karrie Weber, a geomicrobiology as- sistant professor at UNL and the lead re- searcher of the study, which was published earlier this month in the journal “Geology.” These concretions can range in size from BBs to several inches across and have a hard, neatly spherical shell of rust encasing a softer sandstone interior, Weber said. “They do really look like an orange,” she said. These metallic orbs could be found almost anywhere and had been known for centuries. They even had an old nickname: Moqui marbles, named after a Native Ameri- can tribe in the Southwest. But the most common expla- nation for how they formed or took on their shape didn’t seem quite right, said Richard Kettler, an associate professor of geochemistry who joined Weber in this study. He voiced his thoughts to Dave Loope, the third faculty researcher and a sedimentolo- gist who’d seen the concretions around for years but hadn’t given them much thought. “His eyes kind of lit up,” Ket- tler said. After more discussion of offhand chemical equations in Kettler’s hotel room, “I said, ‘We’ve got to talk to Karrie Weber about this.’” The key was an iron carbon- ate mineral called siderite, We- ber said. The normal explanation of the concretions’ formation seemed to hit a dead end at a sol- id ball of oxidized siderite cement holding sand grains together. To get the right kind of concre- tion, something else would have to come into the mix, move the iron to the outside and dissolve the carbonate cement left over in- side, leaving nothing in the center but tightly packed sand. According to the professors’ findings, certain kinds of bacteria fit that bill perfectly. They could cluster around a nugget of sider- ite, use the iron in the siderite for energy, deposit the resulting rust as a spherical shell and generate acid to dissolve the carbonate left behind — a perfect Moqui marble and, perhaps, a perfect Martian blueberry. To support this conclusion, the researchers, along with re- search assistant Trisha Spanbauer, took a closer look at that metal shell and found perfectly pre- A document that requests a sick leave and another requesting promo- tion — both complete with Napoleon Bonaparte’s signature — lay on the table.

    discovery of microbes on mars suggests signs of past life

    sorority placed under 1-year suspension for hazing

    staff report

    The University of Nebraska-Lin-colns chapter of Sigma Lambda Gamma, Nu Beta, was suspended this summer for hazing, accord-ing to the national organization of Sigma Lambda Gamma.

    The chapter has been placed under one academic year suspen-sion for violating the national chapters human dignity policy and national hazing policy, the organization said in a press release. The historically Latina sorority may be able to resume activities in June 2013 if they com-ply with the national office.

    The national organization did not release details on the extent of the hazing. UNL chapter leaders would not comment and several attempts to reach the chapters at-torney were unsuccessful.

    Linda Schwartzkopf, direc-tor of Greek Affairs at UNL, said neither she nor the Greek Affairs office would comment on the so-roritys suspension because Sig-ma Lambda Gammas National Headquarters Office issued the suspension.

    In 2009, nearly a dozen Sigma Chi fraternity members at the UNL were charged with hazing misconduct after allegations they verbally and physically abused pledges, including allegations that the victims were penetrated by a stripper with a vibrator.

    UNLs Nu Beta chapter is not the first chapter of Sigma Lambda Gamma to be suspended for haz-ing. In 2009, the University of Floridas Sigma Lambda Gamma chapter was shut down for five years for initiating new members through push-ups, running, sleep deprivation and restrictions on Facebook usage as reported by the Independent Florida Alliga-tor. The Alligator reported that the same chapter was suspended in 2003 for three years.

    Hazing, as defined in the Sig-ma Lambda Gamma handbook, is

    any act or tradition that endan-gers the physical, mental or emo-tional well-being of an Associate and/or Initiated member.

    Examples of such hazing in-clude embarrassing or required stunts and costumes, harassing, personal services or deprivation of sleep, and the handbook added that any chapter officer found re-sponsible for allowing such activ-ities shall be removed from office. Violation of the sororitys hazing policy by a member can poten-tially result in termination of membership or suspension, with-drawal or dissolution of charter, according to the handbook.

    The National Headquarters Office will be facilitating a Re-Ed-ucation meeting with all current members to evaluate risky behav-iors/practices, the release said.

    Members of the sorority will also be trained to become certified educators of the National Associ-ate Member Education Program. The sorority has also been found as violating the organizations national human dignity policy. The policy states primarily that each chapter/colony will ex-

    press its disapproval of hazing. The suspension comes as

    In 2004, scientists thought theyd hit the jackpot when NASAs Mars rover Opportunity discov-ered blueberries, the BB-sized spheres of a rust-like mineral that seemed to have formed in liquid water. It was enough to call the rover mission a stunning success.

    Work by a team including three University of Nebraska-Lin-coln researchers and a research assistant, however, suggests the rover might have been looking at the petrified signature of not just water, but also of life.

    stand each others special interests, so an archivist can spend more time on a new artifact that caters to his or her interest, Brink said.

    Each document gets a wax-free folder or box, and the process transi-tions into digitization work to pre-serve the antique pieces into more modern forms of media.

    The temperature in the archives is kept between 70 and 72 degrees with stable humidity, Brink said. Documents in the archives are not allowed to leave their location. Food and drink are banned and all notes must be taken in pencil.

    That way, if someone drops a pencil in Shakespeares First Fo-lio, the first book containing all of his plays, accidental markings can be erased, Brink said. Gloves are used when handling metal artifacts, such as a trophy given to the 1910 Nebraska womens basketball team.

    Brink loves seeing anyone come into archives, which can be accessed by anyone with some form of ID, he said.

    These are your documents as students and the public, he said.

    One person Brink shares the universitys history with is cowork-er Andy Jewell, associate professor of digital projects.

    (Brink) knows about our col-lections that cover a huge range of things, Jewell said. He knows the collections and knows the stuff.

    The two have collaborated on such projects as a student research-ing Aaron Douglas, a Nebraska art-ist.

    Pete found materials no one knew about, Jewell said. Ultimate-

    ly, a museum found the students project online and came to the ar-chives to use the materials.

    Brink told a similar story about his favorite find, a picture of Abra-ham Lincoln when he was still a lawyer and not yet on the presiden-

    tial campaign. The one-of-a-kind image was donated and the Smith-sonian Institute contacted UNL, ul-timately using a blown-up version of the picture for their own collec-tion.

    On the surface, its all univer-

    sity records and its really boring, but in those records are a whole breath of information, Brink said. Its cool to be a detective and chase down the information.

    staFF reportdn

    Organizers expect more than 3,000 people to participate in the sixth annual ZombieFest this weekend, which kicks off at 6 p.m. on Friday at the Pershing Center and contin-ues with the main event the Lin-coln Zombie Walk at Saturday night.

    The festival has humble ori-gins and started out as a 130-per-son flash mob in 2007.

    I have a friend in Orlando who posted a video of their Zom-bie Walk ... and I thought, We could do this, ZombieFest orga-nizer Rebeca Rose said. That first year, we had 132 people partici-pate, and its just grown.

    To accommodate the large numbers of zombie enthusiasts, ZombieFest takes place during two days.

    Fridays zombie market begins at 6 p.m. features about 20 vendors, face painting and a photo booth from Chimera Stu-dios. Night of the Living Fash-ion Victim, a theatrical fashion show set during a very gruesome prom night, will begin at 8 p.m., according to the festivals website.

    In addition, five walkers from AMCs The Walking Dead will be available at a panel for photos and autographs Friday

    evening and for questions and au-tographs Saturday.

    Friday, hypnotist Jeff Martin will entertain the audience. A zom-bie character costume parade will follow. The night will end with the Humans Last Party with DJ Jon The Animal Terry supplying a mix for the crowd.

    Saturdays Zombie Walk, a crosstown trek of all zombie-fied participants, begins at 6 p.m., with a so-called resistance attempting to control the growing horde.

    But before the volunteers can lurch their way into the streets, they need to look their best. Make-up stations will open seven hours before the takeover. Makeup is $5 for face or body. The opportunity to take professional pictures of the final bloody product will be available from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., complete with a custom horror backdrop.

    Saturday afternoon, chore-ographers will offer to teach any zombies the steps to Michael Jack-sons Thriller, with the zombies performing outside at 4:45 p.m.

    All zombie-fied participants meet outside for a group picture, followed by a mandatory pre-walk game plan, outlining rules, regula-tions and the two separate routes. The zombie walk departs in two sections at 6 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Both sections eventually converge on UNLs greenspace by Broyhill Fountain, where the members of the human resistance make their final stand.

    All participants then make their way back as one horde to Pershing by 7:20 p.m., where the costume contest winners will be announced. Then, the zombies will celebrate their victory during a street party.

    For those who havent had their fill of zombies after Friday and Saturday, tickets are available to an exclusive brunch on Sunday at The Egg and I with the famous five walkers. The $40 ticket cov-ers one meal and one drink.

    Organizing such a large event requires meetings of a seven-member board beginning in Janu-ary, and committee heads are in

    charge of security, entertainment and sponsorship.

    It takes a lot of manpower, Rose said.

    NUtech Ventures new Startup Mentor and Accelerator Pro-gram is taking the nonprofit organizations mission to build partnerships between the Uni-versity of Nebraska and the pri-vate sector one step further.

    The new program, devel-oped to reach more University of Nebraska-Lincoln innovators looking to get an idea on the market and aimed specifically at university startups, is led by entrepreneur-in-residence Brian Ardinger and NUtech fellow Luke Smith.

    When a prod-uct is developed by a UNL inno-vator, the prod-uct or idea of-ficially belongs to the university. NUtech helps the innovator license the product. It also introduces business mod-els and conducts market research so the innovator can make a sales pitch to possible investors.

    Take Ian C o t t i n g h a m . co-founder and president of Red Brain Inc., a soft-ware develop-ment firm, Cottingham helped develop CrimeView NEARme, a mobile device application that shows the location and detailed information of nearby crimes. While he originally developed the app to assist the Lincoln Police Department, Cottingham wanted to market it to a wider audience. Thats where NUtech stepped in.

    Open since 2009, Red Brain and Cottingham have worked closely with NUtech to create marketing strategies.

    Weve been working hard on canvassing and develop-ing solid ideas the past cou-ple years, Cottingham said. NUtech will approach Red Brain wanting to explore differ-ent directions and give us some ideas on how to market our own ideas.

    NUtech has helped 68 UNL professors and graduates start their own company or help get an idea off of the ground. Part-nerships between UNL startup companies and NUtech are now up to 32 major companies in fields that include animal health, improved crop genetics, nanotechnology and innovative technology.

    The new program will bring increased attention and expertise to university start-ups, better preparing them for investment, market penetration and overall success, said David

    Conrad, NUtech executive direc-tor, in a press re-lease.

    Stephen Di-Magno, a Uni-versity of Ne-b r a s k a - L i n c o l n chemistry profes-sor and co-found-er of Ground Fluor Pharma-ceuticals, and his company negotiated with NUtech to license a technology he developed, which increases the ef-fectiveness of PET scans by using ra-dioisotopes.

    Theres a mutual interest shared by the

    company and the university to see technologies pioneered in academic research laboratories become successful commercial-ly, DiMagno said.

    Ground Fluor Pharmaceu-ticals has seen success with its innovative research on break-through iodonium chemistry and was awarded a $150,000 Small Business Innovative re-search award by the National Science Foundation.

    served microbes apparently killed off when they ran out of iron from the center of the ball, Kettler said.

    We find these beautiful mi-crobial fossil structures, Weber said. And theyre coated in iron oxide.

    Its too late for Opportunity to take a look at Martian blue-berries, and Weber and the oth-ers still have more questions to answer.

    If you remove life, would you get the same result? Weber said. That we dont know and thats something were interest-ed in looking into.

    But studying the microor-ganisms involved in this process and the way they can move iron,

    uranium, carbon and other com-pounds also has implications in groundwater quality and the carbon cycle here on Earth, We-ber said.

    Curiosity, the NASA rover that landed on Mars early this month, is also ready to look around for possible signs of life after its first test drive this week. This research, Weber said, can help scientists point the rover toward the right rocks and for-mations from millions of miles away.

    If one of those structures is observed, it provides a target for exploration, Weber said. Oth-erwise, how do you find that needle in the haystack?

    in an article published wednesday, aug. 22, titled unl-built andrill voyages to antarctica, the daily nebraskan mistakenly reported the name and cost of a hot water drill system headed for antarctica. the andrill science management office at the university of nebraska-lincoln built the whillans ice stream subglacial access research drilling, or wissard hot water drill system, which cost $2 million to manufacture and will cost $1 million to operate for two years. the hot water drill will arrive at mcmurdo station in antarctica in late october and will continue across the ross

    ice shelf to the whillans ice plain in december. it will use hot water drilling to bore into lake whillans, using a special hose constructed for the project that recirculates decontaminated water through the system. the national science foundation provided the funds to northern illinois university, montana state university and the university of california, santa cruz; unl was subcontracted by the universities to manufacture the drill. although the team attempted to purchase all materials from american companies, a few had to be imported.

    three unl students receive presidential fellowships

    The University of Nebraska has granted 2012-2013 Presi-dential Graduate fellowships to three University of Nebraska-Lincoln graduate students. The fellowships, which honor NU graduate students for academic and personal performance, en-tail a stipend that allows re-cipients to pursue their studies full-time, according to a uni-versity press release.

    The three UNL recipients are Kathryn Haymaker, a doc-toral student in mathematics studying coding theory, Jeff Johnson, a Ph.D. candidate in business studying personal selling, sales management and marketing strategy and Nathan Probasco, a doctoral candidate in history studying the history of colonization and technology in the early modern Atlantic world. Probasco and Johnson are both Nebraska natives, while Haymaker hails from Pennsylvania.

    education grant funds cyfs research

    A $700,000 U.S. Depart-ment of Education grant will fund two University of Ne-braska-Lincoln researchers in their efforts to analyze several decades worth of studies on how parents influence their childrens grade school perfor-mance.

    Postdoctoral fellow Eliza-beth Moorman Kim and Susan Sheridan, director of UNLs Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools, will employ a pro-cess called meta-analysis to ac-knowledge inconsistencies and discrepancies in past research, according to a university press release.

    The two will specifically seek to identify which methods parents can use to best benefit their children as students.

    The results of the meta-analysis will create the largest database of family connection and family-school partnerships in the country, the release said.

    If you have ever taken an English course, its likely that at one point your professor asked the question: W

    hat is literature? Every student attem

    pts to give an all-inclusive answ

    er, which is inevitably dis-

    credited and revised. The professor cre-ates an ever-broadening definition until it can be concluded that its uncertain w

    hat exactly constitutes literature. Eventually you have to adm

    it that according to your ow

    n definitions, newspapers, graffiti, ad-

    vertisements and even shopping lists are

    considered literature. Though Im

    not able to give the ex-act definition of literature, I can tell you one thing that isnt literature: the graphic novel.

    Like most students, you m

    ight think literature

    is som

    ething pertaining

    to

    books, story lines and, most im

    portantly, bodies of w

    ords. Many think reading is

    involved with literature and rightly so.

    According to the O

    xford English Diction-

    ary, the word literature com

    es from the

    Latin word litteratura, m

    eaning writ-

    ing or system of letters.

    Therefore, literature should be some-

    thing that

    consists of

    words.

    Without

    a doubt, graphic novels have words in

    them m

    ost people point to this as proof that graphic novels are literature. H

    owev-

    er, just because something has this quality

    doesnt make it literature. Im

    10 percent G

    erman, but I dont I identify as G

    erman,

    nor do I think I could. Likew

    ise, if a book is 90 percent pic-tures and 10 percent w

    ords, it is no longer literature. A

    graphic novel may contain

    literary elements, but as a w

    hole, it isnt literature.

    Lets look at it this way

    a movie, by

    the definition above, isnt literature. Mov-

    ies may very w

    ell be based off of literary w

    orks and the scripts themselves consti-

    tute literature, but the movie itself isnt.

    How

    ever, if

    the m

    ovie is

    being w

    atched with captions, is it now

    a piece of literature? N

    o. Without a doubt, it is

    a work of art and a noble creation on its

    own, but its not literature.M

    ovies serve the same purpose as

    books in that they can tell a story, be edu-

    cational or convey news, but they do it us-

    ing a different medium

    . G

    raphic novels work the sam

    e way.

    They can easily have the same effect as a

    book full of words, but in a different w

    ay. They are based on visuals, like m

    ovies and convey the story line through these visuals w

    ith words acting as an auxiliary

    force.Any book

    consisting prim

    arily of

    words w

    orks in the opposite manner.

    They may have pictures and graphs to

    add to the message being portrayed by

    the words, but the visuals act m

    erely as a secondary force.

    Therefore, I would argue that w

    ords have to be the prim

    ary medium

    on which

    the message is portrayed in order for a

    work to be considered literature.

    An easy w

    ay to determine this is by

    looking at how the actions in the w

    ork are carried out. O

    ften, graphic novel scenes that show

    movem

    ent or fighting use a sequence of pictures to portray those ac-tions w

    ith very little use of words, if any.

    How

    ever, in a piece of literature, actions (and everything else) have to be conveyed

    using w

    ords. The

    point w

    here m

    any problem

    s arise is in the varying definitions of the w

    ord literature itself. In som

    e instances throughout his-tory, the w

    ord has taken on the meaning

    of written w

    ork valued for superior or lasting artistic m

    erit. In this definition, w

    e get the sense that for something to be

    considered literature, it has to be a grand

    work of art as w

    ell as educational and

    worth reading. Because of this, it is easy

    to falsely conclude that if something is not

    literature, it is not a great work of art and

    not w

    orth our time.

    In terms of books, this is absolutely

    right. More often than not, the w

    orthier books are considered literature, w

    hile the lesser w

    ritings arent.W

    hen it comes to graphic novels, they

    dont even qualify to be judged as great literary w

    orks because they deal so little w

    ith letters. Q

    uite frankly, there is nothing wrong

    with that. Just as certain paintings have

    been able to define an age and remain

    with us through tim

    e, graphic novels have the potential to becom

    e great artis-tic w

    orks. They just cant do it under the nam

    e of literature. I dont doubt the artistic integrity

    of graphic novels, but when som

    ething strays so far from

    the use of words and re-

    lies so heavily on visuals, it can no longer be considered literature.

    Literature is marked by w

    ords

    Storytelling is a vital part of any culture. A

    s a culture shifts, so does the form

    at for storytell-ers and their tales. In our in-creasingly visual culture, its no surprise that a lot of great

    storytelling is combined w

    ith stunning artw

    ork. Is

    every graphic

    novel literature?

    Probably not. How

    ever, a graphic novel can

    become

    literature like

    any other

    book. A

    graphic novel is structured like a novel: Theres a beginning, m

    iddle, end, dram

    atic tension and dynamic charac-

    ters in interesting situations. The major

    difference, of course, is that instead of relying on description to convey the ac-tion of the story, an artist represents the w

    orld for you. Often, these visual rep-

    resentations illustrate some aspect of the

    world that m

    ay be difficult to picture. W

    hen many of us think of a graphic

    novel, we picture a pasty, nerdy guy try-

    ing to justify working in com

    ics. You can alm

    ost hear the sneer: Theyre called

    graphic novels! While that person m

    ay certainly exist, he isnt necessarily w

    rong. G

    raphic novels and comics arent just the

    cheesy superhero stories that so many of

    us think of. Com

    ics and graphic novels tell im

    portant stories of valor, pride and, of course, good and evil.

    Com

    ics have

    given us

    iconic he-

    roes like Superman, Batm

    an, Wonder

    Wom

    an, Spider-Man and the H

    ulk. And

    these heroes w

    ill endure in our culture, not unlike F. Scott Fitzgeralds Jay G

    ats-by, H

    omers O

    dysseus or Jane Austens

    Elizabeth Bennet. A

    s culture

    changes, so

    too does

    the format in w

    hich we present ideas.

    For example, hardly anyone ever gath-

    ers around a fire late at night to tell the stories of their ancestors. Stories are not all told in poetic form

    anymore, as in

    the times of H

    omer and W

    illiam Shake-

    speare. Even hard core Shakespeare fans hardly insist on seeing the plays in their original form

    at, in a round theater where

    all the parts are played by men.

    Graphic novels w

    ill probably never usurp the w

    orks of Shakespeare, Bram

    Stoker or Mary Shelley, but they do have

    a place on the bookshelf next to these tra-ditional novels.

    Some artists have recently taken it

    upon themselves to present classic tales

    such as Dracula or R

    omeo and Juliet

    in a visual format, m

    aking the stories m

    ore accessible to readers. Good sto-

    ries shine through no matter w

    hat their form

    at, be it a movie, TV

    show, graphic

    novel or a book. O

    f course, this assumes that the in-

    terpreters of the original story care about presenting the tale accurately. .

    Graphic novels are an excellent w

    ay to tell particular stories. In journalism

    , w

    e often discuss the idea of how w

    e present a story. C

    omplicated, intricate

    stories are usually in print. Photo stories are visually striking and full of dram

    a and em

    otion. Videos are great for pre-

    senting stories with action and dram

    a. Each storys particular elem

    ents deter-m

    ine how it m

    ust be presented. The sam

    e is true with graphic novels.

    Would W

    atchmen or M

    aus be the sam

    e in a purely textual format? W

    ould

    Frank Millers Sin C

    ity drip with the

    same am

    ount of noir and sleaze if it were

    a traditional book? Each

    storys em

    otional im

    pact w

    ould be entirely different if its medium

    w

    ere changed. All three of these books

    are loved by fans and hailed by critics. Both W

    atchmen and M

    aus are part of m

    any college literature courses. To deny the artistry and storytelling ge-nius of these stories w

    ould be incredibly foolish. G

    raphic novels are the Reeses

    Peanut Butter Cup of novels: They put

    two w

    onderful things, art and stories, together to m

    ake storytelling even better. A

    s Henry Fitzroy, a graphic novelist

    and vampire from

    the underappreciated

    TV show

    Blood Ties, said, Art and

    literature have alw

    ays been my passions.

    I finally found a medium

    where I could

    fully realize the both of them

    .D

    ismissing the art or storytelling of

    graphic novels is ridiculous and snob-bish. If anything, the art dem

    onstrates the skills of the artists through their inter-pretation of the characters and the w

    orld

    they inhabit. G

    raphic novels may not look like a

    traditional book because of the amount

    of visual art contained within their pag-

    es. Instead of judging a book on what it

    looks like, lets judge it on its ability to tell a com

    pelling story in an interesting w

    ay. r

  • The UNL Dairy Store is just one of East Campus many hidden gems. Although their menu does not change with new flavors every day, it gives Ivanna Cone a run for its money. The vanilla was about as flavorful as vanilla can be, but be wary of the Cappuccino Chocolate Chip: Youve got a serious caffeine kick coming.

    tyler keownDN

    Since emerging in 2006, Brooklyn-based Yeasayer has been on a tear.

    Their psychedelic pop beats and oddball lyrics have led to comparisons to Animal Collective and Hot Chip. In 2010, the Hype Machine dubbed them to be the most blogged about band of the year. Their first two albums, All Hour Cymbals and Odd Blood were met with critical acclaim.

    Prior to the release of Fra-grant World, their latest album, the band hosted an online scaven-ger hunt where they hid videos of each of the new albums tracks in various spots around the Internet, a move to combat piracy and an example of the creative fan inter-action the band is known for.

    Yeasayer will play in Omaha this Saturday night at the Slow-down.

    The Daily Nebraskan recently spoke with Ira Wolf Tuton, Yea-sayers bassist, about the scaven-ger hunt, sex symbols and other happenings with the band.

    Daily Nebraskan: Hows the tour going so far?

    Ira Wolf Tuton: Its been good. We got some new sounds going. Its going well.

    DN: Everythings full steam

    ahead?IWT: Yeah, yeah, totally.DN: Okay, a few generic ques-

    tions. Do you have a favorite ven-ue to play?

    IWT: Theres been a few shows that have stood out in my memory and thats usually based on the crowd more than anything everything, but places like Paris and Amsterdam certainly stood out. And theres places that are kind of like stepping stones, like the first time we played Fillmores (in San Francisco). We had a two night-stand there. It was pretty special to us. Now its about try-ing to place new places. Weve got tour stops planned in Greece and in Russia, in China and in India.

    DN: Yeasayer seems to really have a ton of influences going into the music. How do you balance everything?

    IWT: We start to record, we really pour a lot of things into it, add, add, add and then get as many things as possible into a track and then we start pulling away and looking at the different relationships between different elements and we end up with a lot of happy accidents. Certainly, that is the challenge, to try and take multiple, various influences and try to turn it into a cohesive track. Thats the craft, I guess.

    DN: So when you write music,

    do you have an idea of what will work or is it more of a situation where you throw different things at the wall and see what sticks?

    IWT: I mean, it isnt complete-ly random. People ask us if we have a producer, but the three of us have always acted as produc-ers to one another. Its part of the

    joy of it. We all have different skill sets and over time weve really come to work with one another well.

    DN: So what would you say you offer in the band?

    IWT: The muscle. (laughs)DN: Describe the new album

    for me.

    IWT: Isnt that sort of your job?

    DN: To some extent, probably.IWT: I dont know. I just feel

    like talking about piece of art is weird. It just stands as what it is. I guess its just not the most com-fortable thing for me to talk about.

    DN: Understandable.IWT: I can say that we decided

    to go in a different direction and take advantage of different equip-ment at different times and differ-ent physical space. I do think we accomplished progressing and moving forward in a way that isnt regurgitory.

    DN: Let me ask you about the Internet scavenger hunt you guys are doing. Where did that idea come from?

    IWT: That was a result of a lot of discussion about different things we could do within our or-ganization. Our manager actually put out our first album, so hes kind of more invested in the iden-tity side of the band than most managers are. It was an exciting idea he had, to try to release mu-sic in a new way, you know? The climate is always evolving so fast, so to do things in a new way can kind of be difficult.

    Another big thing was the control it gave us. Instead of the album just being shat out onto the Internet, we were able to have

    a hand in the process, because either way, it was going to be leaked. It was a little more excit-ing and engaging for us to do it this way.

    DN: So piracy played a role in the decision to do the scavenger hunt?

    IWT: Thats the thing, you basically know that we exist in a climate that album will be leaked. So it was simply reactionary to what the situation is; it was us try-ing to battle against that in a cre-ative way. I think thats the way weve always tried to approach the things we do. I mean, we exist as a band in large part because of the Internet and the blogosphere. Thats where we got our start, so we have to embrace that, and we do. Its just, you know, we need to

    extended interview with Ira Wolf tuton

    of yeasayer

  • katie FennellyDN

    In 30 years, when an inquisitive local DJ, arts reporter or musi-cian digs back into the Lincoln music scene of the late 2000s and early part of this decade, theres bound to be talk of a band called The Machete Archive.

    On Saturday night at Duffys Tavern, the Lincoln trio will per-form live for the final time on a stage theyve come to know very well. UUVVWWZ and Jodie Loves Hinckley will open.

    The instrumental progres-sive rock group has been creat-ing music for about five years, appearing as regularly as any-one on Lincolns biggest stages for local music. Saber Blazek, the bands bassist, is sad to see it end, but feels that it is time to move on.

    Its been a hard thing to ac-cept, but we have to do whats best for all of us, Blazek said. Theres no hard feelings be-tween us. This is just where we are.

    He said that while its been an unforgettable experience for the bands members, it was time to stop beating a dead horse.

    The end, it eventually hap-pens to everybody, thats just how it goes, Blazek said.

    Before the band calls it quits, they will be playing an in-stu-dio set on 90.3 KRNUs KRNU Sessions on Saturday at 4 p.m. The set and interview program, which features both local and national acts, is hosted by Joe Teplitsky, KRNUs music direc-tor and a senior broadcasting major.

    There arent any other bands like (Machete Archive) here, Teplitsky said. Whether you want to call it prog rock or math rock or whatever sim-ply listening to them or seeing them play is unlike any experi-ence Ive had ... you can see just how well-respected they are as musicians when you take a look at what other projects theyre in-volved in.

    And the band members are busy these days.

    Blazek is preparing for a fall tour with Icky Blossoms. Guitar-ist Ryan Thomas recently moved to Omaha and has been juggling the band and a career. Drum-mer Ian Francis plays with Low Horse, Classes and Eli Mardock

    and attends college.Im sad to see them hang it

    up, even if it is just temporary, Teplitsky said. Theyre one of my favorite local groups and theyve been ardent supporters of KRNU and the local scene as a whole. Theyre even better peo-ple than they are musicians and thats saying something.

    They may not play together again, but at least we can still have them as part of our com-munity, he added.

    Its that community which inspired the band to develop their own style in the first place.

    Seeing somebody local do-ing something different lights the fire under your ass to do something different, as well, Blazek said. Weve been in-spired by others and hopefully weve been able to affect others in the same way.

    Blazek said the band has al-

    ways had a strong relationship with the Lincoln music commu-nity and fans and as a way to express their gratitude, they will be playing as many songs on Sat-urday night as time allows.

    Theres been talk of another Omaha show, but (Lincoln) is our hometown, Blazek said. It feels right to end it here. This is it.

    Why do we go to the movies?I am not asking, Why do we

    watch movies? Thats simple: movies entertain. Theyre more enjoyable than staring at a blank wall. But that doesnt fully explain why we speculate about upcoming releases, make aggressive demands of our friends (Dude. Dude. You HAVE to see it. You HAVE to.) and meticulously consider what merits our Facebook likes.

    This energy is maintained through the cultural importance of cinema. In an alternate universe, this importance might be concen-trated elsewhere. Maybe there, the red carpet is reserved for video games, the Lincoln Grand show-cases shadow puppets and Red-box rents out Chia Pets instead of DVDs.

    But in the here and now, our cultural conversation is domi-nated by the movies. We identify ourselves with our favorites films, develop bonds with others through our shared judgements (You dont like The Lion King? You have five seconds to explain yourself be-fore this friendship window closes forever) and process day-to-day ex-periences by comparison with what weve absorbed through the me-dia. Some of this we own proudly, some happens subconsciously, but to some extent, film makes us who we are.

    The most exciting part, the part that keeps us coming back, is that the cinematic landscape is con-stantly evolving. Why is The Dark Knight Rises so dark and what does it mean for superhero movies to come? Is comedy different dur-ing the Obama administration com-pared to the Bush administration? What will happen when animation is indistinguishable from real life?

    This column is not to com-plain about the state of the movie industry. The movie industry is more alive than ever. High quality video and special effects no longer require gobs of money, allow more experimentation and freer expres-sion. Collaboration, like through Amazon Studios screenwriting service or a Kickstarter campaign, is now matching talent in situa-tions previously reliant on chance. Movies today are more prepared to reflect the complexity of the pres-ent. Learning from the mistakes of a remarkably short existence (moving pictures have existed for barely a century) and currently at the highest point of the information age, movies can even represent our nostalgia with ever-increasing nu-ance and skill.

    Take, for example, two of the years best movies, one currently

    playing at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center in Lincoln and another soon to hit DVD: Beasts of the Southern Wild and Moonrise Kingdom. Both films speak to the power of film to represent nostalgia on the big screen.

    Moonrise Kingdom, the lat-est from Wes Anderson (The Roy-al Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou) starring Bruce Willis, Bill Murray, Frances McDor-mand and Edward Norton, might as well be a 90-minute injection of pure, unfiltered nostalgia. What stands out immediately is a color scheme exclusively of soft pastels. It looks and feels unreal and arti-ficial, but in a childlike way that makes perfect sense. Over and over the young characters demonstrate heroic absurdities, like outrunning a mob after purposefully being hit by lightning. Its like the impos-sibility of becoming your favorite superhero made possible on screen. The plot itself pits two child love-birds (with the maturity of middle-agers) against the jaded and out-moded adults.

    Beasts of the Southern Wild is Where The Wild Things Are meets Slumdog Millionaire, tell-ing the story of a 6-year-old girl in a fictitious island community near New Orleans, whose imagination guards her from her overwhelming reality. Avalanches and giant pre-historic creatures invade the screen with all the vividness and mighty scale of childhood.

    Both movies use special effects impressively, but neither cost much to make or appear flashy (Ander-son has been accused of style-over-substance, but in the right place his style has a specific and meaning-ful effect). Both are uplifting films that use fantastic exaggeration to capture and amplify the feeling of childhood innocence.

    If you were born in the 80s or 90s, at some point with friends you have probably dissected Nick-elodeon cartoons with an alarming intensity. In the same way, Beasts of the Southern Wild and Moon-rise Kingdom are bottled nostal-gia, reinterpreting and re-enliven-ing our shared culture.

    Every week, movies are re-leased which add something new to the conversation. They interpret our world differently as the world continuously becomes a different place. These conversations speak to the power of cultural moments, trends and memories in shaping who we are. If you prefer to com-plain about 3-D movies and re-makes, this column probably wont be for you.

    As long as people keep living, movies will express that life with freshness and beauty. And thats something worth talking about.

    Lincoln-based rock favorite reflects on community as the trio disbands

    originally made famous by the mens College World Series in omaha, Zesto also offers its dynamic soft serve in Lincoln. Zestos atmosphere resembles a 1950s outdoor ice cream parlor, which makes it unique compared to other shops in town. more than any other ice cream stop in Lincoln, Zesto is a hangout.

    Alec Baldwin might now be synonymous with 30 Rock, but back in 1992 he was deliv-ering electrifying F-bomb-laced speeches to Al Pacino, Kevin Spacey, Ed Harris and a hand-ful of oh-yeah-that-guy actors. Glengarry Glen Ross follows these burned-out real estate salesmen as they are given rarely interested clients (leads) and must use any means necessary to make the sale. Its a bleak and dishonest job, brought to un-bearable tension when Baldwin comes to motivate (or verbally assault for 10 brutal minutes) the employees and promises to fire all but the top two the next

    week.The film is based on a Pu-

    litzer Prize-winning play and follows it almost exactly, except for one crucial part: Baldwins famous scene was created espe-cially for the movie.

    Its an all-star cast with per-fect chemistry. Glengarry Glen Ross has a 96 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and is arrival to Netf-lix instant streaming.

    Nestled in the South-Pointe Pavilions, this chain ice cream store does well to avoid the flat, generic tastes one might associate with a national franchise. Cold Stone Creamery is known for its great customer service and unique (and gener-ous) portion sizes: Like It, Love It and Gotta Have It. on a weekday afternoon, the store is an excel-lent little retreat from the hustle and bustle of downtown.

    Located in Great Scotts Food Court, this chain ice cream restaurant is decent, but does not compare to other spots in town. Unlike Cold Stone Creamery, the generic taste of baskin-Robbins comes through their ice cream loud and bland. Although the employees were friendly, its 31 famous flavors could not hold a candle to the originals at other locations.

    think outside the box and find dif-ferent ways to embrace it.

    DN: Yeah, that seems appar-ent with your fan interaction.

    Like, when you released Henri-etta as a single earlier this year, you guys mailed out a free copy of it to everyone on your mailing list and with the scavenger hunt, you can mail in a link to all of the videos and possibly win a prize. What spurs that kind of thing?

    IWT: Maybe its the fault

    of the bands or maybe its the fault of the culture, but so many bands are locked into the tradi-tion of how to make it or do it the right way, like theres this long, laid-out formula that hasnt changed for 70 years that dictates how you must go about releasing music and being successful and I

    think thats completely bullshit. I think it doesnt exist anymore and hasnt existed for years. The music industry is clawing around, trying to figure out what its new identity is and has moved way slower than the climate and realities around it have. You have to be active and engaged and try to figure out how to exist and take advantage of our world, you know? And like I said before, like with blogs, thats just one person in their bedroom cre-ating pop culture.

    DN: So do you have other things planned in the same vein?

    IWT: Its all secret. (laughs) Its like Willy Wonkas chocolate factory over here.

    DN: All right, last questions. Your bandmate Anand Wilder was voted the second sexiest man in indie rock by Nerve. How do you react to that?

    IWT: Im surprised it took so long for everyone to realize.

    DN: Is that his role in the band, then? If youre the muscle, hes the sex symbol?

    IWT: Oh, for certain. Hes the face of the band; Im the bod.

    FIRST FOE TOUGH TO PLAN FOR

    The Huskers turned their focus to Southern miss for the first time on Thursday. coaches have been looking at film for a while now, but the players experienced their first taste of game preparation at practice.

    It was the first day that we really introduced some of the ideas, defen-sive coordinator John Papuchis said. We got some good work against some scouts and kind of got a feel for what the game plan is.

    Southern miss went through a coach-ing change this offseason, so Husker coaches are a bit unsure of what to expect from the Golden eagles in the season opener on Sept. 1. The Husker defensive coaches are at the greatest disadvantage going into the game.

    We try to turn over every rock and look at the sources that are out there and use your best judgment, Papuchis said. We dont know exactly what they are going to try to do coming in. Its all

    about trying to get the best idea that we can possibly get.

    nebraskas staff used background information on the new Southern miss staff to compile its breakdown of the teams offense and defense. Papuchis says that should be enough.

    CORNER COMPETITION CONTINUES

    The cornerback spot continues to be a hotly contested one. coaches say multiple players will be used in at least the first few games or until a few guys separate themselves from the pack.

    The coaching staff is not worried that it doesnt have one or two guys taking the reins. Its too early to be worried about that, according to Papuchis.

    I think going into the year, it might be a situation where we play multiple guys in the game, Papuchis said. Its a good problem to have. Were looking for people to maybe take the job, but when the competition is there and its good and equal to an extent, we might

    play a couple guys and see how it plays out next Saturday.

    Andrew Green, Josh mitchell, mo-hammed Seisay, Stanley Jean-baptiste, Antonio bell and a few others are in the running for the two outside jobs. ciante evans and charles Jackson are working on the inside at nickel and dime.

    There are so many players in the running, Papuchis said, and not enough snaps to make time for all the deserv-ing players.

    It might not be realistic to get six guys in, but we will take maybe the top four going into Saturday and see how its going, Papuchis said.

    MITCHELL IMPRESSES COACHES

    cornerback Josh mitchell made a huge jump this offseason according to Papuchis.

    The corona, calif., product is listed at 5 feet 11 inches and 155 pounds on the official roster, but coaches say he is

    not afraid to stick his nose in there on some run fits.

    Josh is really a good tackler, Pa-puchis said. He is slight, hes not the biggest guy out there, but he knows that. because of it, he tackles low and he does a good job taking peoples feet out. Thats the way he has to tackle.

    BECK STILL LOOKING FOR IMPROVEMENT

    offensive coordinator Tim beck stresses ball security whenever he can, but the Husker offense is not up to his standards at this point in the year.

    It is not as clean as I want it to be, but probably cleaner than it has been, he said. We are not where we need to be. We still have a long way to go. I think weve had improvement from last year, but were still not good enough.

    compiled by lanny Holstein

    compete with Jeremiah Sirles for the starting spot. Neither are ex-pected to switch to left tackle, and it is anticipated that Qvale will be handed the reins to the start-ing left tackle role, challenged only by career-backup Brandon Thompson and 17-year-old Giv-ens Price.
