Heading to college is a giantstep in a person’s life, a movetoward change, growth and inde-pendence.

Sometimes that journey can bea bit scary. Incoming freshman atUNK this semester do not have goit alone. The campus offers greatresources to students to help adjustto college life and achieving acade-mic success.

The Academic Advising Officeis a great resource for freshmen.Whether a student needs to changea major, declare a major or has anyother questions, advisor AmyGerman says, “When in doubt,come to our office.”

German said no matter whatthe question, she and her associateMary Daake, will try to help findan answer.

German had three top pieces ofadvice for the freshmen to achieveacademic success: 1. Go to Class. 2.Go to Class. 3. Go to Class. Shesaid, “Going to class is importantfor several reasons. First, studentswho go to class will get the infor-mation the instructor is lecturingon or discussing firsthand.”

German said using other peo-ple’s notes is hit and miss. “Theydon't always think the same thingsare important as you do. Second,the more you are in class, the morelikely your teacher will get to knowyou and remember that you werethere.”

The Academic Advising officeis open Monday to Friday from 8a.m. to 5p.m. Students can eithermake an appointment or walk in.However there may be a wait.Students also can call to ask aquestion at 865-8932 or e-mailtheir questions to ger-mana@unk.edu ordaakem@unk.edu.

The Academic Advising Officecalls the program PASS (Partners

Achieving Student Success).Students sign up for so they canhave an extended network whiletransitioning from high school tocollege. The student designates apartner, who can be a parent,guardian, advisor or professor, andif the student is having any prob-lems they can receive the help theyneed with the help of that specificpartner.

Students also have a greatresource by living in the residencehalls. Rick Larsen, Director ofResidential and Greek Life, said hefeels students who live in residencehalls students will obtain a bettercollege experience all around.

Larsen’s main pointer for stu-dents: talk to your ResidentialAdvisor (RA) because usually RAsare outgoing people who go tomany events. Students who hookup with RAs or other upper class-man can help new students getinvolved or volunteer to help andget involved in the planning ofevents.

Every week the residential halls

have “Hall Council” meetings,attending these meetings will helpfreshmen get involved.

Larsen said it is also a good tostay in Kearney and get involved incampus life because going homeevery weekend makes it hard tointegrate completely to college life.

One of the most importantthings to remember Larsen said isto hunker down on academics.

This may include seeking atutors help in the tutoring office.This is a free service and is a greatresource for students. For moreinformation or tutoring times call865-8214.

Another great resource to acad-emic success is the Writing Centerlocated on the top floor of theCalvin T. Library. Center assistantsfrom all disciplines look over 1400essays a term, and they providegreat information and tips includ-ing the outline, developing theessay, citations and proof reading.To make an appointment with theWriting Center call 865-8641.

The snow will fly before com-muters fly down 39th Street. UNKstudents returning to school canexpect to see progress on road con-struction on 39th St. from SecondAvenue to Pony Express Road.Blessing Construction has weath-ered summer rains to insure con-struction will be wrapped up bymid-December according to DickStokes, General Manager and CFOfor Blessing Construction.

City Manager Michael Morgansaid, construction is moving alongon schedule. Construction is expect-ed to take the majority of the con-struction season that runs frommid-March to December, weatherpermitting. The construction ismade up of several projects includ-ing the widening of 39th St., newstorm sewers for both sanitary andwater concerns, traffic signals at39th St. and A Ave. and state of theart traffic signals for people withvisual impairments, said Stokes.Central Ave. north and south of39th St., as well as A Ave. south of39th St., will also be under con-

struction. Construction covering over a

three-block incline cannot be com-pleted without obstacles. Morgansaid, “The hill on 39th St. hasproven to be an obstacle because ofthe amount of fill that was neededto elevate the road.”

Construction crews have beenbusy building a 25 foot retainingwall to off-set the incline and to aidin driver visibility. Stokes said theretaining wall will allow a line ofsight from Second Ave. down, tomake the traffic on 39th St. andSecond Ave. fully visible fromCentral Ave.

The fill will help during thewinter months with weatherinduced problems for drivers. Theincline has made it hard formotorists to safely because of trac-tion problems. Senior KatieMcCarthy said, “Normally whenthere is ice on the roads I avoid thatarea just because I have an older carand the traction on the tires makesit hard to get up that hill and be ableto stop for a red light.”

Students that live off campushave been forced to adapt to theconstruction. Sophomore Jake

Thompson said, “With the con-struction it takes me between 10 to

12 minutes to get to campus in themorning if traffic is heavy, instead ofthe five to seven minutes it took

before the construction.” Most stu-dents living on the east side of townhave found the easiest route to taketo campus is N Ave. to 25th St.

Construction has also been hardon area businesses. Businesses likeHobby Lobby, Hastings, Nick’sGyros and San Pedro have had torely on customers finding alternateroutes in order to visit their estab-lishments.

Blessing Construction sponsorsmonthly meetings at The Cellar togive businesses a chance to voicetheir concerns. “The cooperation ofthe businesses has been fantastic,”Stokes raved, “the people are won-derful.”

Stokes also makes himself avail-able at anytime via cell phone tobusiness owners or concerned par-ties. “If an owner calls me, I try toset up a meeting with them andsolve the problem as soon as possi-ble,” Stokes said.

For more information and tocheck the progress of the construc-tion you can visithttp://www.blessingconstruction.com.

Barista (n) - A person who worksat the counter of a coffee shop; a coffeebar server. I had no clue either, untilI asked the “Barista” himself, RyanDennhardt, owner of the local cof-fee shop turned franchise, Barista’s.

If you are still trying to get intothe swing of things, and you just cannot seem to stay awake in your 8A.M. classes, maybe you should stopinto Barista’s for one of their award-winning brews.

What’s that you say? Youthought Barista’s closed down?Despite legal allegations that lead tothe foreclosure of their previouslocations in Kearney, the owner,Ryan Dennhardt, of the local coffeeshop did not let his love of coffeestop him from opening up the latestBarista’s, right across the street fromUNK at 13th Avenue and 25thStreet.

We are all starting to feel theeffects of 17 credit hour-inducedsleepless nights, and Barista’s has alittle something to give you thatextra edge you crave to stay awake inyour favorite Statistics class.

When Ryan was asked why hechose the particular location he did,he replied with, “It is a nice location,itright by the college. Also, the peo-ple who occupied this buildingbefore did a nice job with it. All wehave to do is repaint, a little plumb-ing and some electrical stuff. Easychoice when you think about it.”

Ryan, at the young age of 21, gotinto the business when his momintroduced the prospect of helpingher out with her new business thatshe started in 2001.“I did not really know anything

about coffee before, I got into it andit’s something I really enjoy,”Dennhardt says. Six years later, hehas gone from not knowing any-thing about coffee to becoming oneof the top coffee brewers in thecountry.

Dennhardt has been participat-ing in competitions all over the U.S.since 2004 and has been making aname for himself in the coffeeindustry. “The coffee industry is setup through the Coffee Associationof America. They have regionalcompetitions and those get you intothe national competitions,”Dennhardt states.

He has been quite successful inthese competitions, while winninghis region in 2004 and placing 4thin the United States. In 2005, hewent onto place 3rd in the regionand 5th in the country. In 2006, heplaced 6th in the region andreceived 6th place in the country.

Keep in mind that 250,000 cof-fee brewers around the country par-ticipate in this event and 50 of themreceive to opportunity to compete atthe national level. There are 10regions in total, and the region hecompetes in is comprised ofNebraska, Iowa, South Dakota,Missouri, Kansas, and Minnesota.

Dennhardt is not successful inthese national competitions byusing that classic blend that hasbeen sitting in your cupboard forthe past who knows how manymonths. He goes straight to thesource: his backyard. No, just kid-ding. Coffee beans do not grow incornland. Coffee beans thrive onheat that embodies the countriesthat lie along the equator.

“There are four major growingregions, South and CentralAmerica, Indonesia, and Africa . . .We get our beans through a roasterin Seattle, because they have won

several awards, and they also keep aclose relationship with the coffeegrowers throughout the world, sowe get high quality beans,Dennhardt adds.”

Barista’s offers a variety of coffeeto their customers. They have sevendifferent medium roasts, two darkroasts, and a house espresso blend.Medium roast have the most caf-feine in them, with about 120 mg ofcaffeine in a 12 oz. cup. The sevenmedium roasts each represent a dif-ferent origin.

Dark roasts are blends of theseven medium roasts. As far asespresso goes, “It is really concen-trated, the flavor is very strong, very

smooth.“There are 80 mg of caffeine in

espresso and since it is so concen-trated, it gets in your system faster,”he says. And if you are not reallyfeeling like coffee, they have 70 dif-ferent flavored syrups to change upthe taste a little.

Barista’s is not just for tired peo-ple either; they have something forthe kids and the kid in you.

“We try to tap into all differentmarkets: We have chocolate milk,popsicles. We got [sic] everythingfrom black coffee to straight espres-so. We even got [sic] smoothies andprotein shakes.” And coming soonare fresh deli sandwiches.

There is much preparation thatgoes into the coffee-brewingprocess at Barista’s, and Dennhardtcan attest to that. He took amoment to compare his coffee shopto the barista of them all, Starbucks.“What sets us apart from Starbucksis preparation. We do everything byhand. It is more of a ‘button-push-ing’ style [at Starbucks]. Ourespresso machines do not have anycomputers in them: we control theentire process. We grind our coffeefresh . . . It would be like the differ-ence between going to Burger Kingand The Alley Rose,” he added.

Who knows, maybe Barista’s willreplace your local Starbucks one of

these days. After all, Dennhardt hasturned this growing business into afranchise. You can find locations inHastings; Grand Island; FortCollins, Colo.; Kansas City, Mo.;and Leavenworth, Kan.

Barista’s in Kearney has 17employees and Dennhardt says, “Wetreat our employees like family. Wehave a great staff. And if we are notspeaking face to face, everything elsegoes through e-mail.”

You can get your daily dose ofcoffee at many times of the day atBarista’s. They open bright andearly at 6:30 and stay open until 8p.m. They hold a “happy hour”between 7 and 9 a.m. when you canget a cup of coffee for 50 cents.

“As of right now, we close ateight, but we are going to start clos-ing later, maybe nine or ten once weget everything finished.”

If you are in a hurry to get toclass or wherever your destinationmight be, they will soon have adrive-thru for your convenience.

Also, if you are thinking that thismight be a good place to take yourspecial someone, Dennhardt agrees.“It would be a cozy little place, nicemusic; we could even put hearts onyour lattes for you if you want tobring your date in.”

And of course, they have wirelessInternet. What is a coffee shop ifyou can’t sit down and enjoy a cup ofcoffee with your handy dandy lap-top? So, if you are tired of the awe-some library scene, it might be anice alternative if you are lookingfor somewhere else to do your ten-page papers.

I know I’m strange. I’m double-majoring in English and Journalismwhen most of my friends can’t waitto have their English requirements

done so they won’t have to read any-more. I find a kind of solace inreading, probably because I didn’thave cable TV growing up (thanks,Mom and Dad), and even in itsmore active companion: writing.

A few weeks ago, I had an urgeto write. I have a nifty Moleskinenotebook that my brother gave melast summer, and I use it for almosteverything. It’s small, black, and

nicely-bound, and it makes for anice reporter’s notebook when I’mout on interviews. Occasionally I’lluse it as a diary of daily events, andI’ll always have it at hand if I’mattending a meeting. So, it was thatnotebook I decided to use to workout the thoughts I was attemptingto sort through with little success.

Once I switched from thinkingto writing and actually being able tosort my thoughts out in front of me,I wrote what I thought to be a well-thought, tidy little mini-essay aboutsomething I thought was interest-ing. (Looking back, it was a discus-sion about a lyric from Pavement’s“The Unseen Power of the PicketFence,” and yes, that is a real song bya real band.) As I was writing, Ifound myself wishing that I couldbe simply putting it into a bloginstead, or at least a Word docu-ment. Because there was no way Icould satisfy that request, I did whatall of the greats do: I adapted andmade the best of the situation. Iwrote, and I even went so far as tokeep my handwriting mostly legi-

ble, in case I wanted to scan thepages in later and make it a specialedition, or a “paper blog.”

I felt really clever about thattitle--but only for about 30 seconds.

That’s when I decided howabsurd that sounded. It was goingcompletely against the correct chainof events. First there were storiespassed down through the oral tradi-tion, and then they were written,then everyone wrote his own story.Then Al Gore invented theInternet, and then everyone wrotehis own blog so he could a) save atree and b) get everyone on theirFriendster or MySpace or Facebookaccounts to read it. A blog was thenew form of a paper diary. Throughthat logic, a paper blog would sim-ply be a diary, right? In this newlight, a paper blog doesn’t seemquite so cool, and a lot more redun-dant.

It just seemed like hyper-tech-nologization, if that’s even a word.Microsoft Word’s spell check says itisn’t. But the fact that I was think-ing about how cool it would be to

take my little, black-bound bookand scan the pages at 600 dpi onlyto upload them to a Flickr page,then upload them to a Web sitethrough the URLs from the Flickrpage—just to avoid retyping threeand a half handwritten pages—makes me sit and think about howsometimes, I would like to rejecttechnology and live closer to nature.Simplify, simplify. That’s whatHenry David Thoreau did, right?He turned out OK. He’s remem-bered 145 years after his death, andhis works are taught widely. That’sa lot more than 15 minutes of fame.I could deal with that. I could gowithout Facebook or my Gmailaccount to live more simply andbecome famous.

Well, maybe. I wouldn’t be ableto tell everyone that there was oncea band named Pavement who wrotea song about R.E.M. I couldn’tdownload all those strange B-sides Ifind myself adding to my shoppingcart of the iTunes Music Store.

And, I’d need a whole stack ofMoleskine notebooks.

Although it feels nice to totallydominate a team that we should, itwasn’t long ago when a 25 to 7 vic-tory over Maine was all we couldget. This is how Husker footballshould be, we should dominate ournon-conference schedule, I knowthat it is only week one and weprobably won’t dominate are entirenon conference schedule but for thefirst time in years if feels like we areon are way back to the glory days ofHusker football.

It’s only Nevada right? Well, theyprobably are not a win that is goingto boost us to the top, but theyprobably would beat AppalachianSt. Remember this Nevada teamdid have a winning season last year(8-5), and only lost to Miami byone point. But at the end of the day,it was only Nevada, and they stillplay in the WAC last time Ichecked.

Even if it wasn’t a quality win, wedid learn a lot about the team. Weare stacked at running back withMarlon Lucky, Quentin Castilleand Cody Glenn. Lucky had themost rushing yards in a single gamefor a Husker with 233, since

Jammal Lord rushed for 234against Texas in 2002. Not to men-tion he found the end zone fourtimes.

The 6’1” and 235 pound freshmenCastille excited Husker nation andshowed signs of greatness finishingthe game with 78 yards rushing andtwo scores. Glenn only had 36 yardsrushing but once he get in theswing of things watch out.

Sam Keller had a pretty conserv-ative day with only 193 yards pass-ing and one touchdown. He didshow that he can make the throws,now we just need guys to catch theball, the return of Maurice Purifyshould help Keller’s stats next week.

The defense looked great, onlygiving up 185 yards of total offence,and not giving up an offensivetouchdown. The bright spots onthe defense had to be SteveOctavien and the secondary.Octavien seemed to be everywhereon defense and the secondary, wellit didn’t have to do much to be bet-ter then last year.

All in all, it was a pretty good per-formance against a pretty mediocreNevada team. We will learn a lotmore about our Husker’s next weekwhen they play Wake Forest, lastyear’s ACC champs. We might notbe back yet, but we are getting a lot

closer.

Both the UNK men’s andwomen’s cross country teams will begeared up, tied up and lined up asthey compete in the Loper Alumniopen this Saturday, Sept. 8, atCottonmill Park.

Ranked ninth in the NorthCentral Region, UNK’s womenreturn nearly their entire lineupfrom last year. Included in thebunch is NCAA Championshipqualifier, Kaci Lickteig who placed39th in Pensacola, Fla.

Lickteig was the first Loperwoman to qualify for the NCAAChampionships. Lickteig said,“The experience was amazing. Ifgiven the opportunity again, Iwould never pass it up. This issomething every cross country run-ner should get the chance to expe-rience because it shows that hardwork and dedication really does payoff in the end,” she said.

Lickteig is now focused on hergoals for the 2007 season. She said,“I want to make sure I left every-

thing on the course and that I ranmy absolute best that day.”

Joining her are seniorJacquelyn Dibbern and MichelleDill, who both con-tributed to UNK’s successin the 2006 season.

UNK’s men’s teamwelcomes aboard sevennew freshmen looking tokeep the team in highstandings. The men alsoreturn top runners fromits past season lineupincluding juniors RylanLittle and Justin Zahllerand sophomore QuinnWillet.

The RockyMountain AthleticConference (RMAC)Preseason Coaches Pollreleased Aug. 22 pickedthe UNK women to finishfifth and the men eighth.

UNK women rankedninth in the NorthCentral Region join fourother RMAC schools that are alsoranked in the top 10 of their region,proving the RMAC is a competi-tive conference.

Among the other challengers

is defending national championAdams State, ranked No. 1 alongwith national runner up WesternState at No. 2.

Teams from the NorthCentral Conference occupy fourother spots for the regional rank-ings and representing the NorthernSun Intercollegiate is Wayne State

claiming the tenth spot. Both teams are training hard

as they are determined to placehigher than their predicted rank-ings. In 2006 the women earned 63points to place fifth in the RMACout of 13 teams. UNK men scored75 points as they placed eighth outof 11 teams.

Head coach Brady Bonsall iscoaching both teams.

Bonsall, a two-time NCAAChampionship qualifier in bothcross country and track, is a 1995graduate of UNL. He competed inboth the 1996 and 2000 U.S.Olympic Trials in the steeplechase.

“He’s a great coach,” Lickteigsaid. “I think he’s going to turn thisprogram around. He explainsthings well and breaks down thetechniques so things are really easyto understand. You can tell he’sdone his research.”

Lickteig expects this season tobe a great one. Lickteig said,“Coming back to practice after thesummer I can tell that the girls haveput a lot of hard work into theirrunning over the summer. As long

as we stay healthy and strong andcontinue to train hard, I believe wecan make it to Nationals as a teamthis year.”

The Loper men and womenwill be put to the test on Sept. 15 asthey compete in the Woody GreenoInvite at Pioneer Park in Lincoln.

The fall women’s golf teamstarted with a new head coachright out of competition herself.Coach Amy Harder spent the pastfour years playing women’s golf atDivision 1 University of Missouri-Kansas City.

As a Loper, Harder said sheplans to focus first on Loper golfteam unity. She said the mostimportant thing in first year is tobuild a good community.

Harder said, “Good commu-nity and good relationships arereally important for the team, andgood relationships or good com-munity would be referring to bothcoach and player”.

The new coach knows thatthe difficulty of her first year as ahead coach is to acquire trust fromthe players and reciprocate thattrust to them.

“Golf seems to be individualcompetition on the surface, butgolf is really team competition,”Harder said. “Good teamwork isthe basis of all athletic teams.”

She said all parts of the teamhave to work together. “On thewomen’s golf team, we haveplayers, coach and fans. We shouldnot make a border between them.”Harder said a golfer’s mental gameis the most important aspect ofcompetition. “It is easy to justteach golf skills to the players, butthe most difficult thing in teachingis how to teach a mental training,”Harder said.

Harder said women golfershave really delicate and sensitiveminds. That’s where her youth willbe her greatest asset and her expe-rience a golfer beneficial. She saidshe spent the past four yearsplaying on women’s golf team andcan understand how to take care ofplayers problems.

Teamwork and relationshipswin golf championships, Hardersaid. “My goal for the team is get aNCAA champions in the future,but I really want to build goodrelationships with players for nextfew years.” Then, Harder predictsa NCAA championship in theteam future.

It’s no secret the UNK Lopervolleyball team is on fire this year.With a combination of experiencedplayers returning and a talentedfreshman class, the Lopers arerebuilding and setting their sightson an Elite 8 post-season run.

A large part of the Loper’s suc-cess comes from returning starter

Erica Burson, a sophomore outsidehitter from Gretna, Neb. The pre-season First Team RMAC pick hasalready racked up the honors afteronly 9 games. Burson was namedMVP of the UNK Fall Classic andearned East Division Player of theWeek. Burson said, “This season is abuilding year. We’re really young sobasically we’re trying to get every-one some playing time so they havesome experience.”

Burson, who sports the UNKnumber five jersey, has also turnedin her best performances as a Loperthis season, twice tying her careerhigh in kills. Most recently, Bursonwas the main weapon UNK utilizedto upset 16th ranked Washburnduring the Rockhurst UniversityInvite on Aug. 31. Burson recordedastounding numbers, slamminghome 18 kills while hitting anunheard of .459 percentage.

Burson’s experience has allowedher to emerge as a leader who bringsenergy to the court. “It’s not somuch you have a role on the court,but you also have one off the court,”Burson said. “Even on the bench, Iwant to be able to make the rightcall for a hitter on where to placethe ball.”

Burson’s understanding of thegame also makes her skills lethal toopponents. “I definitely see myselfas being able to take out-of-systemballs and put them aggressively inthe court,” Burson said.

Anyone who’s seen a UNK vol-

leyball game can testify Burson’sjump-serve isn’t very friendly, either.“My jump-serve has been an impor-tant part of my game. Even thoughI don’t get an ace every time, puttingit over aggressively makes it harderfor the other team to defend,”Burson said.

Burson has the bar set high forthe Lopers and for herself in post-season play. “We want to push to beRMAC champions, instead of co-champs this year, and make it to theSweet 16,” Burson said. “I reallythink with the talent and a deter-mined work ethic, we could make itto the Elite 8 this year.”

If the Lopers meet Burson’sexpectations, they’ll have the chanceto play at home deep into the post-season. Burson notes this as a defi-nite advantage, and her favorite partof the Loper volleyball experience.“We have such good attendance andthe crowd actually knows what’sgoing on,” Burson said. “It’s just agreat atmosphere to play in.”

Burson said with a grin, “IfCoach doesn’t get on us for makinga couple errors in a row, the crowddoes.”

Burson’s most memorable gameso far in a blue and gold uniformwas this season when UNK beatNorthwest Missouri State in theUNK Fall Classic. Three of Burson’sformer prep teammates stood acrossthe net as Burson turned in one ofher best performances. She recordeda team-high 15 kills, 10 digs, and

three blocks, two of which weresolo.

The UNK Loper football teamdropped their season opener to the No.14 ranked UNO Mavericks, 24-41, onSaturday, Sept. 1, at Foster Field inKearney. A string of costly mistakes bythe Lopers allowed the in-state rivals thevictory in front of the 6,311 fans inattendance. UNO has now won the lastfive matchups and leads the all-timeseries 38-5.

“We had a few mistakes early thathurt us,” said starting cornerback DustyLoeffelholz, a junior from Amherst.“We played pretty good most of thetime, but it was the few mistakes or lin-ing up wrong that got us into trouble.”

The Lopers, coming off a 6-4 recordlast season, 5-3 in the RMAC, feature ayoung team and line-up. “We have abunch of young guys playing their firstgame,” Loeffelholz said. “A lot ofUNO’s points were from young guysmaking first-game mistakes.”

Loeffelholz said he expects thosemistakes and first-game jitters to besidelined now. “I don’t see us losinganother game on our schedule, at leastnot until postseason,” Loeffelholz said.“Hopefully we’ll get another shot atOmaha in the playoffs.”

Defensively, the Lopers have estab-lished themselves as the best in RMAC,holding their opponents to under anaverage of 14 points a game last season.Against UNO, the tough Loper defenseout-tackled the Mavericks 95-58, all dueto hard work, according to Loeffelholz,who was credited with four of thosetackles.

The Loper offense has struggled tokeep up with the dominant defense inpast years, but UNK looks to have a bet-ter ground game this season.“Offensively, we did way better andshowed a big improvement from lastyear. We’re going to score a lot morepoints and the offense is going to have agood year,” Loeffelholz said.

UNK is ranked No. 2 in the RMAC,behind Chadron State, and eager tomake their run at the RMAC champi-onship that Loeffelholz believes his

team will win. “We definitely have agood chance of winning (the RMAC),”Loeffelholz said.

Loeffelholz isn’t the only one strivingfor victory. “I like how everyone wantsto win here,” Loeffelholz said.“Everyone on our team plays to win, andthat’s one of the reasons why I camehere. Nobody here wants to lose a game,everyone wants to win.”

The Lopers will take on the ChadronState Eagles at home Oct. 18 in a tele-vised event that’s sure to pack Ron andCarol Cope Stadium. “I’m sure they’ll beundefeated and ranked pretty high, andwe should only have one loss when weplay them,” said Loeffelholz of a matchhe believes the Lopers should win.

When it comes to DannyWoodhead, Chadron’s main weapon andNCAA Division II player of the year,Loeffelholz trusts his team to be able tocontain him. “He’s only had one goodyear against UNK since he’s been playingthere. I think we can definitely shut himdown again on our home turf,”Loeffelholz said.

The Lopers are next in actionSaturday, Sept. 8, at Wayne State withkickoff set for 1:00 p.m. “It’ll be a goodgame for us to get back on track and getgoing,” Loeffelholz said. “Everybody’sgoing to have to step up and play a goodgame for us to bounce back.”

The World of CollegeFootball Seen Through

My Eyes . . .

Eric M. KorthSports Editor

Ahh yes . . . it’s football time again boys andgirls. The one time of year I look forward to as muchas I do Christmas. It’s the the time of year where redand black become a sense of fashion and the meresight of colors like purple or gold strike hatred intothe hearts of passionate Husker fans. Saturdays con-sist of four food groups: meat, chips, salsa and beer.And last but not least, it’s the time of year when fansfeel obliged to make a pilgrimage to MemorialStadium.

This year looks to be a promising year forNebraska’s beloved Huskers. All the hype surround-ing Arizona State transfer, Sam Keller, can finally bereplaced with statistics. But I’m preaching to thechoir when discussing what we already know aboutthe Huskers. Let’s look at some of the hype that wasspread throughout the college world over the sum-mer.

Michigan• With returning starters QB Chad Henne and RBMichael Hart, Michigan was a heavy favorite to winthe Big Ten conference and potentially play for anational championship. If you missed the game onSaturday, then I hate to break it to you Wolverinefans, but your men in blue and gold have no chanceof accomplishing those feats--especially after theywere dropped out of the AP Top 25 poll.

Boise State• The ‘blue’ Broncos shocked many last year bypulling off a win against Oklahoma in the FiestaBowl. Was it really an upset? Since 1999, Boise Statehas the highest winning percentage of any collegefootball team (86-16). Don’t underestimate Boise St.,but after the loss of team leader, QB Jerad Zabranksy,the Broncos look to be hosting the HumanitarianBowl in Boise yet another season. So who do I thinkwill be this year’s “Boise State?” Texas ChristianUniversity . . . that’s right, the Horned Frogs fromTCU are my sleeper team for this season. But it allcomes down to whether or not the Horned Frogs candefeat the Longhorns this weekend.

Colt Brennan• This guy is the REAL deal, folks. Sure he plays inthe WAC. Sure, the defenses he shreds can’t comparewith the likes of Virginia Tech. But do you reallythink that matters? I don’t. I’d be willing to bet myfirst-born son that Colt Brennan would lead any con-ference in passing yards and/or touchdowns. Then,and just maybe then, he’d get taken seriously enoughto win a Heisman.

Korth’s Heisman Watch:1. QB Colt Brennan - Hawaii: Completing 34 of 40passes for 416 yards and 6 TDs in the season openerputs Colt at the top of my list. Note that Brennan satout the entire second half.

2. RB Ray Rice - Rutgers: The Scarlet Knight scoredtwo TDs in the first quarter and added his final TDtowards the end of the third quarter. Rice ended with184 yards on the ground to help lead Rutgers to a 38-3 victory over Buffalo.

Other candidates: QB Brian Brohm - Louisville; RBMarlon Lucky - Nebraska; RB Steve Slaton - WestVirginia; QB John David Booty - USC

UNK students have a new fla-vor for their palate with the addi-tion of Bamboo: Asian Cuisine tothe Nebraskan Student Union.

Replacing Blimpie’s Subs,Bamboo recently opened to greetincoming students with the enticingselection of Far East cuisine.

For the students that enjoyChinese food, this is good news.But many of you might be wonder-ing, is Bamboo any good? Well, I setout to find the answer to this ever-so-important question to give myreview of Bamboo Asian.

Accompanied with my friend, Iimmerse myself among collegefreshman for a dinnertime meal.My restaurant judgment beginslong before any bite of food.

As I approach the counter, I amwelcomed with the delicious andfamiliar aroma of American-Chinese cuisine. The presentationwas not too shabby either; they arealready on my good side.

After much contemplation, Idecide to order the General Tso’sChicken with white rice, an egg roll

and a drink. The price: $7.59. Thestaff is very kind. However afterpaying, I experience my first prob-lem.

Much to my disappointment,they were all out of originalMountain Dew. Yes you heard me,no Mountain Dew. After a few tearsof sadness, I go with Pepsi insteadand remind myself to focus on thefood.

My dinner guest and I fill ourhands with soy sauce packets andchopsticks, and we sit down to enjoyour dinner.

Now it is time for the first bite. Iimmediately notice the strong, fla-vorful punch of the General Tso:sweet, spicy and very tasty.Unfortunately, I notice somethingelse with my first bite. The food wasnot hot, but only slightly warm, adefinite strike for the restaurant.

With my second bite, I addsome rice to the mix, and unfortu-nately again, another disappoint-ment. The rice was mushy, verymushy. However, the savory sauce,chicken, peppers, carrots and onionscompel me to continue.

As I devour each bite, the spici-ness of the dish surprisingly washeswell with my Pepsi. By the end of

the main course however, I am dis-appointed, barely satisfied and

somewhat stuffed.I save the egg roll for dessert,

and it is just moderately satisfying,pretty much your standard egg roll.My friend points out its obvious“frozen-packed” aftertaste.

Upon meal completion, mydecision is made: the food is…okay.Temperature: poor. Freshness: poor.Portion-size: average. Flavor: good.

Considering Bamboo is not anup-scale eatery and that there aresome kinks to work out, I guess Igot what I paid for.

I realize that this was only onevisit, so I’ll have to go back somedayand try another tasty-looking dishto make an accurate judgment. In afew weeks, I’m guessing things willtaste a little better too.

If I were to offer any recommen-dations, I would say go for lunchinstead of dinner, as the food mightbe fresher. Order the General Tsoand hopefully enjoy, but don’t planon being amazed. On the brightside, they do have a wide variety ofdishes, so I urge people to experi-ment with the menu.

And if you don’t like the food, atleast the fortune cookie will begood.

As students signed up for fall2007 semester classes this pastspring or summer, many of us real-ized that the school year would bestarting a little later. Classes beganlast Monday Aug. 27, meaning onlyone week of classes would be com-pleted before the Labor Day holidayweekend.

During the last two school years,UNK had finished two weeks ofclasses before Labor Day. In 2005,classes began on Aug. 22 and onAug. 21 in 2006.

According to ChancellorDouglas A. Kristensen, UNK is on acalendar that is uniform with otheruniversities throughout the state.“The decision is not made at

UNK,” he said. “There is aUniversity Calendar Committeethat establishes guidelines, and theguidelines state that every fallsemester should begin betweenAug. 21 and Aug. 27.”

Kristensen said that many fac-tors such as payrolls and contractsinfluence the calendar.

So, one week of classes before athree-day holiday weekend? Manystudents say they are happy withthis schedule, while others wouldprefer finals to come a week earlierin December. “This school year hasbeen set for roughly three years.”Over the course of the semester, itprobably won’t matter to studentswhen the school year started, as theamount of work will be the sameregardless,” Chancellor Kristensensaid.

Photo by Aki KatoIt seems as soon as UNK students arrive on campus, they are already leaving for their three day vaca-tion over Labor Day weekend.

Did you know that the firstLabor Day holiday was celebratedon a Tuesday in September of 1882?Twenty thousand workers marchedin a parade up Broadway Street car-rying signs that read, “Labor createsall wealth” and “Eight hours forwork, Eight hours for rest, Eighthours for recreation”.

It wasn’t until 1884 that the hol-iday was moved to the first Mondayin September.

Twelve years later Congressvoted it a federal holiday.

Sources dispute on who actuallyproposed the workingman’s holiday.

Some history books credit Peter J.McGuire, a general secretary of theBrotherhood of Carpenters andJoiners and a cofounder of theAmerican Federation of Labor.

Others say that MatthewMaguire; a machinist from NewJersey, proposed the holiday. Eitherway, the Central Labor Union inNew York adopted the holiday, andthen appointed a committee to plana demonstration and picnic.

As of May 2007 there are 152.8million people 16 and older makeup the nation’s labor force. That’s82.1 million men and 70.7 millionwomen, according to the UnitedStates Census Bureau.
