Coliseum finality

Next season, Husker volleyball won’t compete at the NU Coliseum.

I was lucky to be asked to shoot the team’s last regular season game to ever be played there - here’s how it looked.

Thanks for looking.

Just some personal frames from a fun pre-halloween weekend and a trip to Chicago for the Associated Collegiate Press convention where the Daily Nebraskan was awarded fourth place in the four-year daily best of show competition. To my staff: you guys are the best.

Thanks for taking a look.

The start of playoff season

It’s that football time of year.

I covered back-to-back games Friday for the OWH at Seacrest Field in Lincoln at a brisk 40 degrees.

Once I’d finished transmitting my last photos, I headed home and came across the bus carrying the Lincoln Southeast team (they had just won 45-14) surrounded by a firetruck and police cars. The bus had collided with a minivan, and one person from the van was sent to the hospital. It was, without a doubt, one of the more bizarre ways to end a day of high school football coverage.

Thanks for looking. AD

ASUN town hall regarding potential health center privatization

Get ready for some words all over this photo blog.

Of all the stories we try and keep up with via reporting at the Daily Nebraskan, the potential privatization of the health center is pretty high on the list.

Today, a town hall, hosted by the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska took place in a small, second floor, corner room of the Nebraska Union. I actually had never heard of the Georgian Suite existed until today - it’s a pretty room.

Around 100 people attended ranging from students to faculty to health center staff, among others. A panel including Vice Chancellors Juan Franco and Christine Jackson alongside Dr. James Guest, the University Health Center’s director.

The panel answered a basic list of frequently asked questions to assure that everyone was on the same page. Some disagreement on the exact answer to a few questions from the panel was good evidence that this is not a clear cut issue. There are things we are unsure of; things that need to be sorted out. Next was questions from the audience, followed by any statements they wanted to make regarding what services are most important to them.

I believe this is a good start to student engagement on the issue.

If you’re reading this and are a student at UNL, I urge you to make yourself aware of the issue.

It will affect you, and you do have a say in it.

Don’t know where to start? Read the Daily Nebraskan tomorrow.

If you forget to do that, try searching the Daily Nebraskan web site. We’ve covered this story as each new development took place, and will continue to do so until a final decision is reached in January.

Vocalize your opinions. Write a letter to Harvey Perlman, or the board of regents, or to Dr. Guest or Franco. Write a letter to the DN. Attend future events regarding the health center - there will be a few in the coming months.

I commend ASUN for organizing what I would call a successful show of student involvement and passion. Let’s keep the talking going so that this decision is made with student input accounted for.
