Craig Munier sits with his elbows propped on the table in the Presidents Room right outside the Senate floor waiting for Sen. Edward Kennedy to come and talk to him and his colleagues.

Kennedy enters, greets Munier and shakes his hand. He turns to Munier and says, Before we start Id like to tell you a little about the table that your elbows are on. That table belonged to Thomas Jef-ferson. And when Abra-ham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclama-tion, he did so at this ta-ble.

Munier sits back. Elbows down.

That was 2005.Munier, director of

Scholarships & Financial

Aid at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has had the opportunity to rub el-bows with many of Wash-ington, D.C.s elite. And his recent election as na-tional chair of the National Association of Student Fi-nancial Aid Administrators will give him the opportu-nity to meet even more.

Munier came to UNL in 1998 from the Univer-sity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he served as associate direc-tor. Munier started work-ing in student financial aid in 1982, and his election to national chair caps off his career, which has been dedicated to making a dif-ference in students lives, Munier said.

Ive dedicated my en-tire life to the belief that luck of birth should not be the discriminating factor of who gets to go to college, Munier said. I dont think thats fair, and I think the American people, if they

Its a scene that acts as a book-end to the semesters of many: a long stream of students clutching what may be the most expensive pieces of liter-ature they will ever purchase. Months later, these same stu-dents return to sell their books back to stores for a fraction of the price.

You know, (students) take their books to the bookstore and get 40 bucks for them, and I buy them for $140. Something just feels wrong, said Zach Christensen, a soph-omore biochemistry major

and co-creator of theredex-change.com.

Because of the yearly pain of buying and selling text-books from bookstores, two sophomore students in the Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science and Man-agement decided to put their computer science skills to use and create a website for text-book trading.

A lot of times we were talking about it we said it was Craigslist meets Half.com, said James Verhoeff, a

Luisa Valencia is only 14 years old, but shes already thinking about college.

The eighth grader at Lefler Middle School in Lin-coln attended Tuesdays La-tina Youth Leadership Con-ference at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for her third year in a row. Hosted by Lambda Theta Nu Soror-ity, the LYLC is an annual event held to encourage young Latina women to at-tend college.

You embrace your Latina self, Valencia said about the event. You embrace your culture.

According to Mariana Mo-guel, sophomore biological sciences major and Lambda Theta community service chair, the event is in its sev-enth year and continues to grow. The 2012 LYLC grew to 100 participants from 46 in 2011 and was part of a planning process that lasted about two months longer than planning for previous conferences.

Students from Culler, Dawes, Goodrich, Lefler, Mickle, Park, Pound and Schoo middle schools at-tended the event. Every middle school in the Lin-coln district was invited to send students, according to Lambda Theta President Jessica Sanchez, a senior in-ternational studies major.

She said Lambda Thetas focus is promoting Latina women in higher educa-tion, and every chapter in

the nation is required to reach out to Latina students in its area.

Although the LYLC is geared toward young Latina women, middle-schoolers of any ethnicity are invited to participate, Sanchez said.

Valencias friend Eliza-beth Gajardo, also an eighth grader from Lefler, has at-tended the LYLC for three years as well. She said she comes for many reasons: to learn, to have fun and to meet new people.

It helps knowing there are a lot of other girls out there who go through the same things, she said.

Tuesdays event consisted of four workshops, titled Barbie, Reality, UNL and Educational Talent Services. Each workshop lasted for about 50 minutes each.

The Barbie workshop had the students reconstructing

dolls in their own image by cutting the hair, col-oring the skin, wrapping padding around the bodies and dressing them in new clothes. The purpose of this was to improve self-image and teach the girls that its okay to look different, San-chez said.

She said the Reality work-shop, also called Growing

The meeting began with University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlmans praise, but took a quick, ironic turn.

Trina Creighton, associate professor of broadcasting, didnt expect her Commit-tee on Committees report to

inspire such intense discus-sion.

It ran so long, she had to leave early.

I was just coming to give a report, she said as she stepped down from the po-dium. Ive got a class.

Creighton reported at the Tuesday meeting that a drop in UNL Faculty Senate involvement in the bodys

14 committees is more than somewhat disturbing.

Senate members contin-ued with concerns of their own, relating to the value of their work.

Some of the reluctance of people to serve on com-mittees is a sense that these faculty members dont actu-ally have any power to do anything, said Christopher

Marks, an associate profes-sor of music.

Secretary Patrick Shea, a professor of xenobiotic chemistry and toxicology , said the Faculty Senate committees are stuck deal-ing primarily with busy work.

Were kept busy dealing with a list of specific tasks, so theres very little time to

talk about big issues, he said. Many of these com-mittees have very little au-thority on what actually happens at the university.

About an hour earlier, Perlman had opened the meeting with a speech thanking senate members for their involvement and encouraging them to get involved in the universitys

decision-making process. Perlman suggested that faculty members join com-mittees and review boards for projects including In-novation Campus and the growth initiative.

believe in nothing else, they believe in fairness.

Munier first got involved with NASFAA when his close friend Pam Fowler from the University of Michigan was elected na-tional chair. Munier served as one of Fowlers commis-sion directors, where he caught the attention of the election board.

His name was added to the ballot, and, after run-ning against some guy from New York, Munier was elected to a three-year term.

Amber Hunter, director of admissions, has worked with Munier for 10 years and said she knows he will make a wonderful chair.

He is committed to the needs of students, Hunt-er said. His role as chair will benefit students across America. He is so passion-ate about college access and making college affordable for all students.

Munier is currently serv-ing as national chair-elect in what he describes as his apprentice year. He will assume chairman-ship in 2013-14 when the real work will begin. Hell work with college associa-tions across the country, Congress and the White House on making sure

students have access to a college education.

If college is going to be the great sorting mecha-nism in our society, and I think it is, then its abso-lutely imperative that ev-ery young person who has earned the right to go to college has that opportu-nity even those who are unfortunate to be born to families that do not have the means to pay, Munier said.

Muniers appointment

comes at a time he consid-ers to be a crossroads for the United States in deter-mining whether to contin-ue the commitment to fair-ness and equal access for all students. This is some-thing he hopes to highlight during his time as chair.

I dont have illusions of grandeur that Im going to change the world, Munier said, but I hope to use this opportunity to amplify this debate to raise that topic to public debate, about How

are we going to ensure fair-ness and access to higher education in the years to come?

Munier will remain active at UNL throughout his chair-manship something col-leagues are happy about.

Craig is talented, cre-ative and prepared to lead the university through our enrollment goals to Schol-arships & Financial Aid, Hunter said. I am honored to call him a colleague.

sophomore business manage-ment and marketing major and the co-creator of the site.

Half.com is a textbook-selling website. Christensen and Ver-hoeffs website allows users to buy, sell and search for books for free, with transactions taking place face to face.

We had a Facebook page called the Kauffman book-store for trading books, and we thought, Were in (the Kauff-man Academic Residential Cen-ter), we should at least have a search engine for this. Verhoeff said.

According to Christensen, the main goal of the website is textbook transparency. For that reason, the website features links to the University Book-store, Nebraska Bookstore and Amazon.com for students to compare prices. If a user buys a book through the Amazon.com link, the two receive a small percentage of the profit from that purchase money which they say mostly goes back to paying for the website.

Yeah, the Amazon links may get us a few bucks, but thats mostly to pay for the website, Christensen said. The goal isnt to make money, otherwise

wed be the bookstore.Currently the website has

only 18 registered users and 10 books, but the two expect this to change as the end of the se-mester nears.

We went live with the beta version in the beginning of fi-nals week last semester and we expected the drop off during the semester, so its definitely a four-week-a-semester game well be playing here, Chris-tensen said.

The two are expecting much more site traffic this year. Last year they saw 400 users in a single day without advertising the site. This year, they plan on getting the word out.

Post your books. You dont have anything to lose. Chris-tensen said.

Up a Girl, was centered around an anti-bullying message and emphasized to the students the way ste-reotypes and judgment can tear people apart. The girls had paper dolls that they cut in certain areas while being read a story about bullying. When the story was over, the girls taped the dolls back together to demonstrate that although bullying changes people, healing is possible.

Raymond Ramirez, a UNL alum, has in previous years been a keynote speaker at the event. Because there were so many participants this year, he headed his own workshop instead.

The UNL workshop he gave acted as a presenta-tion about the issues Lati-nas face in many aspects of life, from getting a higher education to their portrayal in the media. He encour-aged the girls to challenge their obstacles and remind-ed them that, according to the 2010 Census, the rate of Latino and Latina students graduating from high school and attending college is continuing to grow, and they can be a part of that.

The Educational Talent Services workshop was co-ordinated with the help of UNLs TRIO Programs, San-chez said. TRIO is designed to help first-generation,

low-income college stu-dents.

Sanchez said she con-s i s t e n t l y r e c e i v e s p o s i t i v e f e e db a c k a b o u t the event from both t e a c h -ers and s t ud en t s . M a r y S chu s t e r -Graff, a teacher at Goodrich Middle School, said she sees the good it does for students and always hears very positive things from those who come.

Vicki Coleman, also a Goodrich teacher, is in charge of a seventh-grade

Latina Club that meets weekly. She said the group was created to teach self-awareness and c o n f i d e n c e -building, and that events like this help emphasize the message she

tries to teach her students, that they can and should, look to the future with col-lege as a possibility.

faculty doesnt become en-thusiastic and engage with (a project or initiative), it probably wont happen, Perlman said.

But after Perlman an-swered his last question from the senate mem-bers and left the Nebraska Union Auditorium, issues rose about a lack of faculty influence on administration. David Brooks, chair of the I n f o r ma t i o n Technologies and Services Committee and a professor of teaching, learning and teaching edu-cation, took to the podium with a list of grievances.

Brooks said his committee had no prior knowledge of or influence upon recent personnel re-organization in the Infor-mation Technologies and Services Department.

Thirteen people walked in on a Thursday morning and didnt have jobs at 5 oclock Thursday after-noon, Brooks said. But we were not involved in that decision.

When statistics professor

Kent Eskridge asked Brooks how he planned to resolve the committees lack of influence, Brooks said he had no idea.

You must be new here, Brooks said to Eskridge. After all those big deci-sions were made, you were just invited half an hour ago to participate in the next level of decisions.

Creightons report en-cou r ag i ng commi t tee i n v o l v e -ment agitat-ed concerns d i s c u s s e d in Brooks r e p o r t . C o n c e r n s about UNL F a c u l t y S e n a t e s lack of in-fluence on the univer-sity seemed to echo

through the auditorium.At one of our meet-

ings with the chancellor some time ago and I dont think I want this in the minutes to remind him he frankly said that his job would be a lot easier if he didnt have to deal with us, Shea said. That hon-esty reflects much of the reality that were dealing

with here. How much gov-ernance are we really in-volved in here?

Michael Carlson, an as-sistant professor of practice in the College of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences, said the senate must gain an understanding of the admin-istrative process and find a route to gain a foothold in it.

We have never really looked at how significant decisions are made, Carl-son said. The key to be-ing at the table when its important is weve got to understand the system thats being used and plug

ourselves in when crucial decisions are made. Oth-erwise we will remain after the fact.

But Faculty Senate Presi-dent Barbara LaCost, a pro-fessor of educational ad-ministration, said Carlsons suggestion is easier said than done.

If you do not have an agreement with your ad-ministration that empowers faculty with decision mak-ing, then youre not likely to have a position at the table when the decisions are be-ing made, LaCost said.

A $2 increase in campus resi-dent student fees per semester will fund an upcoming movie channel. Its the first increase RHA has imposed on students in at least 20 years, said RHA president Kevin Rush, a senior special education major.

The increase in fees will be-gin in the fall semester of 2014.

In a survey recently emailed to UNL residents, 76 percent of 872 students approved of a $3 increase in student fees per semester to have a university-sponsored movie channel.

Based on the results of the survey, its blatantly apparent this is something the residents want, said Sen. Nate Watley, a junior computer engineering major.

University Housing cannot increase student fees for the 2012-2013 year because Hous-ing contract fees are already set.

To compensate, RHA and the Department of Residence Life together will allocate $35,400 to fund the first year of the two-year contract with Swank Mo-tion Pictures.

Ten movies a month will be available to students on Chan-nel 2 in the dorms next fall. The channel is closed-circuit, mean-ing only UNL residents will be able to access the movie chan-nel.

The movies can be anything from oldies to mainstream re-leases, said Sen. Taylor Lucas, a junior marketing major. The movies will run 24-7. Lucas said new movie releases are available on the channel two months before they come out on DVD.

Rush said the movie channel will also be available in confer-ences rooms, lobby areas and dining halls.

The movie channel has been well-received at other univer-sities as well, said Sen. Kacey Christiansen, a junior commu-nications major.

At the University of Michi-gan, its the most-watched channel, he said.

Some senators were con-cerned because nearly 880 of 6,000 residents took the survey.

Sen. Steve Emmel, a senior math and physics major, said he didnt think the surveys questions were enough basis to increase student fees for the movie channel.

I think an important point is to think of how this will af-fect the culture at UNL, Em-mel said.

Senate Resolution 18 ap-proving the movie channel and student fee increase passed in a standing vote 33-1.

We can figure out with an-other survey after three years if students are OK with the fee, and if they enjoy the ex-perience, said Sen. Willow Kovanda, a junior psychology major. Its just an experiment at this point.

The 11th annual Spring Re-search Fair kicks off today to showcase graduate and under-graduate research at the Uni-versity of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Hosted by UNLs Offices of Research and Graduate Stud-ies, the event starts at 9 a.m. to-day and ends 5 p.m. Thursday in the Nebraska Union.

The fair shows the university is dedicated to student research and provides a venue to cele-brate students creative works, according to Justina Clark, di-rector of Graduate Student Re-cruitment.

Were happy to have this opportunity for students to show the hard work theyve been doing, she said.

More than 300 students reg-istered in March to have post-ers of their research presented in the fair. Most of the research is based heavily in the STEM fields science, technology, engineering and mathemat-ics according to Elizabeth Edwards, assistant director of Graduate Student Develop-ment.

However, a variety of other disciplines, ranging from music to food sciences, will also be presented, Clark said.

The research fairs poster sessions also serve as a way for

graduate and undergraduate students to practice presenting their research so theyre pre-pared to present at a national conference level if they choose to do so, Clark said.

Although registration is now closed, anyone is welcome to attend the fair. Graduate re-search will be presented from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Nebraska Union Centennial Room and undergraduate re-search on Thursday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the same room.

In addition to celebrating students work, the registered graduate students will attend a skill-building workshop and a luncheon from 9 a.m. to 1:15 p.m.

Henry Campa, an associate dean of Michigan State Uni-versitys graduate school and a professor in MSUs Depart-ment of Fisheries and Wildlife, is the keynote speaker for the graduate workshop. As an as-sociate dean, Campa develops and evaluates programs relat-ed to the career and profes-sional development of gradu-ate students.

Campas research interests revolve around wildlife-hab-itat relationships, ecosystem management, effects of dis-turbances on wildlife spe-cies and communities and the scholarship of teaching and learning.

He has conducted ecologi-cal research projects through-out the United States, as well as in Kenya and Nepal. Before beginning his work at MSU, Campa worked as a wildlife

biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and he was also as a wildlife research bi-ologist for Michigans Depart-ment of Natural Research. He is a certified wildlife biologist of the Wildlife Society and has earned leadership positions in the societys national, regional and state levels.

Campa will give the gradu-ate students advice on how to obtain success in academic and non-academic careers, as well as building lasting partnerships for the future.

(This) is an important part of their professional develop-ment, Edwards said.

The registered undergradu-ate students will attend a panel on how to prepare for graduate school in Regency Suite on Thursday from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

There will be three panel-ists, including Laurie Bellows, assistant dean of Graduate Studies; Laura Damuth, di-rector of Undergraduate Re-search; and Rick Lombardo, director of Postdoctoral Stud-ies.

Clark said the purpose of the workshops is to teach stu-dents how to become more competitive.

The spring research fair is an opportunity for students to see the research opportunities go-ing on at UNL and get ideas on what they can explore in the future, Clark said.

We encourage the public to come see the vibrant research going on at UNL, Clark said.

a consumer feels he or she isnt getting a great education, then hell transfer somewhere where he can get a better edu-cation.

A school such as UNL is also trying to attract smarter, more knowledgeable students, and when these students look at a school they notice things like retention rates. If they notice large amounts of students leave after a couple of years, this isnt an institution theyll want to at-tend. By increasing retention and graduation rates, UNL in-creases its prestige. When you increase your prestige, you at-tract better students and better professors.

To keep with the economic model, the best way to increase the quality of your commodity is to make a higher profit. Gov. Heineman and the Nebraska legislature thankfully did not cut the education budget in the last go-around and hope-fully will continue to leave it be. So how does one make a greater profit? Well, one in-creases the number of consum-ers who buy its commodity! Therefore, I believe a greater number of students will help as well.

Hold on, one might say. If you increase the number of students without increas-ing the number of professors, arent you creating higher class sizes? And hasnt that has been proven time and time again to lower academic quality? Cor-

rect! So increasing professors must be included as well. How do we attract these new profes-sors? By increasing the amount of research grants and, if you can afford it, increasing salaries.

Therefore, enrollment sizes and retention rates are not dif-ferent than academic quality, but are, in fact, how a school

increases the quality of its aca-demics. In this regard, I would like to commend the Enroll-ment Management Council for creating a Campus Blue-print that attempts to increase the quality of academics a stu-dent at UNL receives.

How does one increase the academic quality of an institu-tion of learning?

The question seems obvi-ous, but actually is incredibly complex. At an institution of higher learning, such as the University of Nebraska-Lin-coln, one could look at a vari-ety of things, such as retention rates, class size, enrollment size, amount of money spent per student or even number

of tenured professors. How does one decide between these many different and varied choices?

If one thinks about the American university system, one finds when you get down to it, its a pretty simple eco-nomic model of consumer and commodity. As in all economic models, the con-sumer is king. It would make sense, then, that retention rates should be considered. If

The image of the hacker is a cool one. Since the inven-tion of computers, weve been enamored by those who can beat the digitized system. While Bruce Willis

or Tom Cruise are out shooting the bad guys, theres always a hyper-intelligent, albeit anti-social, computer genius who just needs two more minutes to save the day.

Today, with the vast amount of data stored in computers and online, the ro-manticized hacker has been transformed into a nefarious villain. The effects of hacking are more dangerous than ever.

Our fear stems from the recent revela-tions about the eerier aspects of technol-ogy have been exposed. The New York Times article Police Are Using Phone Tracking as a Routine Tool, delves into the GPS and tracking aspects of cell phones. This new type of surveillance is heavily criticized. Because, in addi-tion to changing the plot lines to most horror movies, weve also noticed that this has a huge creepy factor.

Both Google and Facebook have been in the news for changes to their privacy policies as well, and the vast group of online bloggers and posters are realizing the digital walls are inch-ing in.

Privacy is the buzzword of the 2000s. Were focused on how much our par-ents, our neighbors and our govern-ment can know and when they should be allowed to use the information they have. Updated privacy policies have pointed out gaps and brought up the di-lemma of digital privacy and just how much its possible to protect online.

Politicians and lawyers will work to create an intricate web of laws and draw a line for legality. This is a facet of law that has never been explored before. Outside of the world of science fiction, most of our current technology had not been imagined by anyone especially not by the founding fathers.

present-day problem of the hacker. Whether we love them or hate them, hackers are getting press. Despite regula-tions and laws, electronic information is still getting out. The rise of organiza-tions like WikiLeaks and Anonymous, as well as the popularity of websites like Pastebin, has brought these cyber spies into the spotlight.

With this new generation, the hack-ers bring with them a new concept and a new word. Hacktivism is the use of hacking for political activ-ism.

Now, not only is hacking cool (in some circles), but theres a sheen of nobility added to it as well.

Consider WikiLeaks charter and its vow to keep countries open and honest with their citizens. It might not be what they do now, but it was originally advertised that way and participants reacted well. It doesnt really seem like a bad idea, does it?

This is where privacy laws ultimately fail. Considering the successes of orga-nizations WikiLeaks and Anonymous, establishing what is legal and what is not is only the first step. Whether or not its legal may only be a formality.

When it comes to digital privacy and security, laws can protect very little. Until theres a security system that cant be thwarted, that information is out there, available to anyone with the knowledge and skill to retrieve it.

Guidelines should be set and laws written, of course. But it would be naive to depend on them entirely. Law-breaking is done all the time. Speeding,

smoking and drinking laws are violated constantly.

And virtual guilt can be much easier to cover up.

Technology is both our crown jewel and our Achilles heel. We wanted com-munication, information and entertain-ment. We wanted it instantly. And we wanted it small enough to fit into our pockets.

We got it. And we arent quite sure what to do with it.

It wouldnt be reality if there werent a down side. But to write off all tech-nology because of the risks would equally ridiculous. We made guns, cars and processed foods, all with their own risks. We made laws to regulate them, but created new forms of com-mon sense as well. Thats exactly what we need to do here. Be aware of what is happening with your technology, just as you are aware of what you put online.

Of course, the GPS tracking ability is a hard thing to shake. That may be one pitfall (perhaps out of many) of technology we just have to take. With all the benefits and ease of technology, it would be ludicrous to think there would be no risks. Like the hackers themselves, our technology is cool, but it comes with complications and dangers.

Throughout history, weve managed to survive our own abilities. Every advance means new challenges and responsibili-ties. The technology weve created lacks the privacy wed like, but unless we are willing to sacrifice our new gadgets com-pletely, the risks arent going away.

As technology improves, so does hacking. The hand of new conveniences may reach further into our lives than we would prefer, and we will have to adjust. In some ways, we have to accept that our new technology must infringe on our own privacy. Theres virtually no way to stop it.

Hacking raises Web awareness

Muniers new position puts

UNL on the mapCraig Muniers election as national chair of the Na-

tional Association of Student Financial Aid Administra-tors represents a moment of pride for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and a moment of optimism for proponents of affordable college education nation-wide.

Munier has served as the director of the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid at UNL since 1998, and his election to the position of national chair of NAS-FAA for 2013-2014 puts UNL on the map in a mean-ingful way. As the national chair, Munier will have the opportunity to advance the financial interests of cur-rent and prospective college students on the national stage. With UNL planning to increase enrollment numbers to 30,000 students while keeping educa-tion affordable, and with many universities across the nation touting similar long-term goals, its experience and drive like Muniers that could make the financial difference for the nations college students.

In todays Daily Nebraskan story, Munier said, Ive dedicated my entire life to the belief that luck of birth should not be the discriminating factor of who gets to go to college.

Its an admirable sentiment addressing a problem that affects students applying for financial aid in every corner of the United States, one we hope Munier can propagate in his newfound position of influence.

In the meantime, were happy to know Munier will continue to play an active role in UNLs Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid during his tenure with NASFAA.

KONY 2012! Am I a little bit behind? Its been almost a month since Invisible Chil-dren released a video that instantaneously

went viral. Documenting the cur-rent status of a warlord in Uganda, the video exposed Joseph Konys 20-year leadership of the Lords Re-sistance Army. The video particularly emphasized the use of child soldiers, rightly demonizing Kony as the ab-ductor.

Within the first few days of the videos release, the 30-minute documentary reached more than 30 million views on YouTube alone, totaling around 50 million including other video players. This overnight sensation had suddenly become the topic of utmost importance, at least by the numbers.

Users of social networking sites were bombarded by status updates and tweets encouraging viewership and spreading awareness of the situation. An all-star list of celebri-ties ranging from Justin Bieber to Oprah Winfrey helped spread the wildfire of internet activism.

Invisible Children was the organization responsible for the fi-nances and filming of the video. If their goal was to raise awareness,

they achieved it marvelously, at least for a few days.

The front page of their website states Invisible Children uses film, creativity and social action to end the use of child soldiers in Joseph Konys rebel war and restore LRA-af-fected communities in central Africa to peace and prosperity.

The disconnect lies between the raising of awareness and the reality of creating such change. Unfor-tunately, there isnt an exchange rate between the organizations 3.2 million likes on Facebook and its impact in the real world.

The time for raising and maintain-ing awareness has passed, and the attention of the Internet is difficult to capture for any longer than a brief moment.

Google has introduced a new feature, Insights for Search, allow-ing users to observe the frequency of specific terms being searched. A quick search of Kony and obser-vation of the graph provided gives a telling tale as to the fate of the Kony activism.

If all it took to consider a person an activist was a like or a status update concerning the video, then America is a nation of fully com-mitted people. It would be much harder to find anyone with a status

update reading, I just donated to Invisible Children! or I just wrote a letter to my congressman! which are just two examples of ways to actually make an impact.

People just arent talking about Kony anymore. The 15 minutes of fame for this video was more precisely about 24 hours of front-page Internet, shorter than the how _____ sees it meme. If all 3.2 million people who are fans of the Invisible Children page reminded all their friends just one more time, it would show a lot more commitment than the corner of their about me section.

Another source of disconnect found between virtual activism and actual impact was the lack of solutions provided in the video. Clearly Kony needs to be elimi-nated, but no issue is as simple as that.

Although no official numbers have been released, its safe to as-sume the group Invisible Children generated millions in revenue from the video. Is this organization the best to handle the finances? The independent group Charitynaviga-tor.org only recently upgraded In-visible Childrens rating to a 53.53 out of 70, up from its previous low of 44.

As far as jurisdiction goes, there isnt a clear governing body for international law aside from the United Nations, and its had an arrest warrant listed for Joseph Kony since 2005. Is the United States prepared (emotionally or financially) to in-vade another country? The preven-tion of genocide has long been the goal of the United Nations, but its impact historically has been mixed.

The issue doesnt just end with Kony. Uganda has had political instability for years. For better or worse, Kony has given consistency over his career. His elimination would result in a power vacuum, requiring an third party to main-tain rule until a government can be established that doesnt oppress its people. That situation should sound incredibly familiar to any American, as weve been engaged in occupation extensively since

2003. Measures have been taken

against this, and there has been some international action, some of it before the video even occurred.

Since the Web explosion, Con-gress has come together with a bipartisan resolution recognizing the atrocities of his actions. Considering the stagnancy of the current Con-gress, even marginal progress such as this is significant.

Last fall, President Obama or-dered 100 troops to be inserted into Uganda in order to aid the govern-ment in search of Kony.

Most significantly, however, the African Union has pledged to send 5,000 soldiers to join in the removal of Kony from power in the LRA.

Lasting change can only be cre-ated through perpetual reminders to the public that these issues are the ones that matter the most. Theres a serious disconnect between interest in an issue and the perpetual effort needed to make change a reality. Do yourself a favor if youre fighting on behalf of a cause you really believe in, do more than just post a single status update.

You dont look the way I do unless youre not OK.

Matt Simmons held out his arms and

pointed to his legs, revealing a body covered with tattoos.

My body looks broken be-cause of my past, who I was, what I did. I was broken. What I did was mutilated myself, and because of that, I lost part of myself.

His inked exterior is a reflec-tion of years of pain. Simmons began abusing drugs and alco-hol at the age of 12. He got his first tattoo when he was 18. Al-though he has since lost count of how many are a permanent part of his body, theres one that stands out to him, and to oth-ers. The letters G-O-D-S-W-I-L-L, or Gods will, run across his knuckles.

Its an indication of Simmons Catholic faith.

I kind of stand out in a crowd, he said with a laugh. Especially a Catholic crowd.

Since the fall, Simmons worked at the University of Ne-braska-Lincolns Newman Cen-ter as a Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) missionary. FOCUS missionaries seek to help others understand the Catholic faith and to create a comfortable environment to talk about religion. FOCUS team leader Jim Jansen defined their mission as a desire to introduce people to a living and dynamic relationship with Jesus.

Simmons splits his time be-tween campus and Sacred Heart Tattoo in the Haymarket, where he is a tattoo artist and owner of the shop.

At first, it was a real struggle to balance the two, but lately Ive been spending more time at the shop, Simmons said. Id like to see a more concrete way of how they interrelate with each

other. Because together I think they can reach a lot of people people that wouldnt stroll into a church looking for faith.

But Simmons goal has never been to convert his clients. In-stead, he tried to create an at-mosphere that is inviting and accepting.

Sacred Heart Tattoos lobby looks like a living room, with a coffee table and comfortable chairs. Art decorates the walls.

A lot of times when you go into a tattoo shop, theres a lot

of heavy music blaring, Sim-mons said. And everyone whether they admit it or not is at least a little nervous when they get tattooed. How does that calm their nerves?

Simmons shop has attracted people he has grown close to, including Stan Jones, a local wedding photographer and cus-tomer.

(At the time,) I was trying to trade (my) photography for tat-toos, Jones said.

He would get inked and use his photography as com-pensation.

Stan showed up, and then he never left, Sim-mons said. Sometimes hed be there for six hours a day, every day. And then sometimes he wouldnt show up for two months.

But coming back to the shop allowed Jones to gain more than tattoo ink in his skin.

I returned over and over again because I just felt comfortable there, Jones said. Matt was be-coming more of a friend than a business coun-terpart. I was one of the most hateful, depressed and pessimistic guys out there. Through Matts friendship, he helped me to understand that my life was not without a pur-pose.

But it also took Sim-mons a long time to understand his life had purpose. He led an exis-tence of drinking, drugs and partying before seek-ing help in counseling

Rudy Francisco is not a love poet.

He tells audiences this at the beginning of every slam poetry reading. He tells them what he might say if he were a love poet with the powerful honesty and simplicity that has made him one of the most decorated slam poets in America.

Franciscos words touch upon American culture and human emotion in a way that critics say cannot be re-strained by the mathematical approach to traditional po-etry.

Holding true to tradition, the first thing Francisco will clear up when he appears at the Jackie Gaughan Multi-cultural Center tonight at 7 p.m. is he that is indeed not a love poet.

Instead he will be a poet that will help Sigma Lambda Beta Fraternity celebrate its national founders day.

Today marks the 26th anni-versary for the national Latino fraternity, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Phi Alpha chapter saw Francisco as a way to motivate the chapter going forward and to show students a way to express themselves as multiculturalists.

Benito Sanchez, a junior the-ater major helped organize the event for his fraternity.

The biggest thing we look at as an organization is that we are, coast-to-coast, one of the fastest-growing Latino fraternities, Sanchez said. Its always been a goal of the fraternity to reach out to as many as we can and to expand and grow and ex-emplify the pillars we rep-resent.

Self-expression and cul-tural awareness are ideals the fraternity has estab-lished since its founding at Iowa State in 1986. The Phi Alpha chapter have worn Sigma Lambda Beta letters on UNL campus since 1998. For a fraternity in its infancy, members are always aim-ing high to bring in speak-ers and entertainers such as Francisco.

Civil engineering major and Sigma Lambda Beta ju-nior member Moses Pache-co recognizes the ambition of the fraternity on local and national levels.

Were a relatively young fraternity, and this event demonstrates the kind of big things we want to do as a fraternity, Pacheco said. Were thinking big and making no little plans.

These lofty goals will be realized through Franciscos performance, as he holds the title of one of the most respected slam poets in the national community with a host of regional competitive awards across his home state of California.

Rudy is really someone who expresses himself artis-tically as a multicultural per-son, and we wanted to show people that it is possible to find outlets to express your-self, Sanchez said. Theres a strong multicultural com-munity here and it definitely has room to be bigger.

Bringing in a name like Franciscos shows the frater-nitys dedication to promot-ing the opportunities Sigma Lambda Beta offers as a multicultural community.

Our main focus is to just have this event for this com-munity, Sanchez said. As far as recognition for ourselves, we are hoping people do see us as an organization that can bring in these kind of speak-ers and do work for the com-munity.

When Rudy Francisco fin-ishes his performance to-night, he will not be a love poet, but a role model for Sigma Lambda Beta for mul-ticultural self expression and the affirmation that the organization can make an impact on the UNL commu-nity by playing host to influ-ential figures.

Bravo TVs Project Runway made its debut in 2004. Since then, many television net-works have fused competition with raw talent for design.

Ellen Rushman, University of Nebraska-Lincoln graduate student, and Madeleine Rob-erg, UNL alumna, developed their own company called The Printed Bolt, which is host-ing REPEAT, an online fabric design competition based on Project Runway.

In October and November

of 2011, Rushman and Rob-erg wanted to be able to help market designers and com-bine quilting with new tech-nology.

Madeleine and I were both bored enough at the perfect moment that we were like, alright were doing some-thing, Roshman said. Click. Blog. Post. Its been a lot of fun.

The competition began in mid-March and the last challenge will be in August. The challenges given to the competitors are different each month. The first challenge was to create a fabric design to fit the topic of tiny dwell-ings. The second challenge centers around the industrial revolution.

Rushman said they are fly-ing by the seat of their pants as the competition continues. They decide the challenge theme the day before they re-lease it to the designers.

Each challenge will have the winners fabric design printed off, and then it becomes part of a quilt compiled of each winning design. Along with a winner for each challenge, one or two people will be eliminated from the competi-tion as well.

The reality of the competi-tion is kind of sad, and were like, Oh no, we have to elimi-nate someone, Rushman said.

In the beginning of

September, the competitions winner will be announced. Rushman and Roberg will take the winner to Houston for the Quilt Market and Fes-tival, where the competitions quilt will be on display.

We were kind of looking for people who would ap-peal to this sort of mod-ern quilt-ing wave, R u s h m a n said.

More than 60 people entered into the contest. Rushman and Roberg went through the entries separately and then came back together to narrow them down. The team came up with a group of 10 finalists.

One of the finalists is UNL alum Leah Sorensen-Hayes. She received her masters de-gree in textile design in 2002. Since then she has worked as an assistant to Michael James, head of the quilting depart-ment at UNL.

Sorensen-Hayes joined the competition to receive feed-back on her work.

I was interested in get-ting just some kind of an idea about what commercial viabil-ity my designs might have,

Sorensen-Hayes said. Its a big, competitive world out there, and this seemed like a really good opportunity to just lay it all bare and see what kind of a response I get.

During the first challenge, Sorensen-Hayes found the time-line of 11 days a good amount of time for a fabric design project.

It gives you enough time to think about it, play with some ideas and step back from them, So-rensen-Hayes said.

Sorensen-Hayes was im-pressed by the format of the competition Rushman and Roberg developed.

Theyre kind of making it up as they go along and theyre really on top of it, Sorensen-Hayes said. Its been very cool to work with them. Theyve made it a lot of fun for everybody.

Anyone can follow the competition at theprinted-bolt.com. Each of the design-ers pieces for the challenges will be posted along with a description of the challenge. Follow along, pick your fa-vorites and stay tuned.

nAte ruLeAuxSunday night at Duffys with graduates. We talked over a double Alabama Slammer fishbowl, two rounds of beers, two shots of Jame-son and Jager bombs. All purchased for me, as my wallet was empty from an-other UNL bill paid to get that hold off and my future secured.

We were reminiscing about college parties and drunken nights. It seems like thats all we do any-more. We talked and talked through the taste of beer about what we used to do.

I drove home drunk too much, she said.

She blamed it on her roommate, who always drove no matter how far from their apartment she was or how many drinks shed had.

They talk about their first party, where he lied and told her hed only had one Sam Adams to keep her calm. She had never drank before, and he had to keep the six or seven other beers hed drank secretly sipped into his back-in-the-day body.

Halfway is for rent, I said, forgetting that was the party house of my college and year, not theirs. I ex-plained that drunken dream I keep bringing up when-ever talks like this happen. That stupid idea of renting out that party house from 2008 and bringing it back, giving all the freshman of the future the life experi-ence Id had at 18: Those experiences Ive missed ever since, that is until someone

reminds me what a piece of shit the place was and how everyone who lived there hated life and slipped in their schooling.

Along with that, I remem-bered that my time here at UNL is almost up. With the end all typed into MyRed, school, work and life would never allow a party house lifestyle. Besides, theres something sad and strange about a senior dude try-ing to muck it up with the freshman kiddies. Hanging out and partying is fine, but somewhere deep down you know its not your time and it just isnt the same.

Out back by the fire pit, we told stories about all the ancient great houses: The Francine, The George, Green House, Lion House, Strawberry Fields.

Only to realize that no-body names houses any-more. I dont know a single one left in my friend circles. Its all, so-and-sos apart-ment, or, that nice house with the new fence.

Around 1 a.m. he turned to me and said, Hi-Way Diner?

I said yes, even though I knew it wouldnt happen. I said, See you there, and went home. I got texts say-ing that plans had changed to a Village Inn trip, but by that time I was laying in bed watching Futurama, trying to sleep without dinner and no food in the fridge. My mind hurt from a weekend-long film shoot, main-stage rehearsal and the guilt of another weekend of un-touched homework stacks.

My recitation started in seven hours, which meant the start of another week of upperclassmen schooling. I could already feel the mix-ing hangover kicking in.

Aaron Bittman lives for music. As a masters student of music composition and music history at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, he said its the only thing he could see himself doing.

Its what Im good at, Bit-tman said. Its the way that I express myself. Its the way I connect with other people. Its almost a way of life.

Bittman will debut his mas-ters thesis of composition on Friday, April 13. The free show begins at 5 p.m. in the Kimball Recital Hall.

Bittman explained Song of the Wind as a spiritual cantata drawn from a number of East-ern and mid-Eastern texts. The piece follows Viatoris, a female traveler, in her quest to find the meaning of life.

To create an interesting concert experience, Bittman paired singers and instrumen-tals with dancers and visual projections.

This is something that has been done before, but its not done a whole lot, Bittman said. Not only are people lis-tening to the music, but they have things to see to help them experience the music on a different level.

The 29-person choir and 32-person orchestra are both composed of UNL music stu-dents, community members and Lincoln-area high school students.

Hannah Kurth, a junior vo-cal performance major, will star as the soloist. She de-scribed her character as an everyday woman trying to figure out her beliefs.

It has this arc of this one

persons life and how she transcends ordinary mortal-ity, Kurth said. I think its a really beautiful example of what one student can do as a project and bring together so many forces to create a mov-ing art.

Kurth said the Eastern mu-sic, influenced by Greek, Chinese and Indian cultures, among others, is unique. Bit-tman didnt use major, rec-ognizable scales, Kurth said. He also used quarter tones in Kurths piece, giving the music a different sound.

The Voices make up a Greek chorus, often com-menting on the main action and offering further insight into the piece. The Wind plays an important role in the play and acts as Viatoris spirit guide.

The all-encompassing presence of The Wind is made evident by its power over the personified forces of nature and its role in the sus-tenance of humankind, Bitt-man said. The Wind encour-ages (Viatoris) to listen and become aware of the world around her, for this is the only way she will learn what the world has to teach her.

Adam Philley, a masters stu-dent in choral conducting, will conduct Song of the Wind. Philley said he was originally drawn to Bittmans use of re-ligious texts and the oratorio style of the piece.

Hes bringing this old art form into the 21st century and showing that it can still be vi-able entertainment and a vi-able art form for people to study and enjoy.

Philley encourages students and staff to attend, saying the night will be electrifying.

If youve never seen a chorus and orchestra piece, its very exciting to see and hear, Philly said. It will be visually something to see and of course musically, it will be entertaining and inspiring.

Life goes on, but party houses fade

As we age, party lifestyle, venues go through changes

groups and a 12-step recov-ery program.

Sobering up isnt as easy as just attending some meet-ings, he said. Its all about control, and I didnt want to give that up. But in real-ity I had absolutely no con-trol of myself.

Letting go of the reigns was difficult not only on his road to recovery, but also in his transition to Catholi-cism. Ultimately, it became a life or death situation for him.

Thats one of the hard things about the Catholic church: authority, he said. But ultimately, its where the rubber meets the road. I had to ask myself, Am I willing to conform my life for this? And the more I conform my life, the better it gets.

It was around the same time that he fully committed

to recovery that he started attending church regularly and opened up the tattoo shop. Since that time, he has continued to grow both his business and his faith. Jansen took notice of the changes, and asked Simmons to join the FOCUS staff.

When Simmons began working at the Newman Center last year, he brought his experiences from his past and that tattoo studio with him.

The thing about Matt is that he gets life, Jansen said. He has a story that helps him relate to people that havent necessarily come from a church back-ground growing up ... Some-times mainstream Christian-ity is hard to engage people in. He serves as an important bridge for our community.

And that connection is felt throughout the Newman

Center.He broke the idea of

the cookie-cutter Catholic, said Caitlin Marmie, a junior Spanish major and Newman Center member. Hes defi-nitely open to a lot of dis-cussions that (Catholics) try to stay away from. He wants to talk about the struggles we face, when most people try to pretend we dont have them.

Shying away from his past isnt something Simmons will ever do.

We just need to go back where we came from, he said. For me, thats the tat-too shop. A lot of people with pasts like mine, those are the people who come to the studio. It makes me sick how skewed peoples views of Christianity are ... we need to be who we are, to be real, and thats all I want to do.
