The grunting of Roman soldiers could not drown out the roar of the crowd as iconic music legend Madonna was carried onto the centerfield at half time during the Superbowl. With a stunning performance, the 53 year old beauty took center stage and did not disappoint.
On Monday night, Kobe Bryant surpassed Shaquille O'Neal for fifth place on the NBA all-time scoring list. Now with this added to his resume, Kobe Bryant is continuing to prove to his fans, the league and the media that he still has enough game in him to become the best player of all time.
Media and politics seem to be in an intertwined battle with each other. The media shows us what they want us to see, but it's not always the entire picture. For instance, Fox News, a widely known conservative channel, depicts conservatives looking great in their own ten-second media clips.
On Jan. 22, 2012, the world of college football lost a legend in Joe Paterno, the former head football coach at the University of Pennsylvania State. As expected, there was talk of the Sandusky scandals upon Paterno's passing. Paterno, 85, won two national championships and 409 games during his tenure at Penn State.
To a man, a car is everything; so guys, make sure your vehicle isn't a violation. A car is a man's form of mobility, freedom and manhood. If you have nothing else in life; no job, no girl, questionable future, well then you better have a nice car.
There is a time—a sad time—when Husker fans everywhere sit around and reminisce about the Sea of Red, the tunnel walk, the fighter jets flying over during the national anthem, and even the marching band spelling out the word HUSKERS during their pre-game routine.
It seems that every university inevitably has its problems and sometimes these problems can be pretty, well … hilarious. But it takes an interesting, witty kind of person to be bold enough to crack the jokes that we're all thinking.
Intramural basketball and indoor soccer will kickoff shortly, and I want you to assemble the team you have always desired. Follow these guidelines to have your best intramural season yet. 1. Determine how competitive you want your team to be. Do you want a championship caliber team, or do you just want to have fun? Answering this question will ultimately determine how you form your team.
For years, the Nebraska Cornhuskers football squad has roamed the turf of Memorial Stadium as an unstoppable force. The Blackshirts would wreak havoc on any opposing offense that dared to challenge them, and the offense would score points at will with their unbelievable running attack.
I remember a simpler time, a younger time, a more innocent time. A time when at the click of a button you could see recently added albums. A time when chats didn't clog my inbox. A time when Facebook didn't chose what was important for me. Although perhaps I did not embrace every change with open arms, I adapted.
"Tebow! Tebow! Tebow!" These are the chants that rang through Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium and throughout all of Denver this NFL season. Tebow-mania was in full swing in the Mile High City and that energy and lively feeling the Broncos fans once felt during the days of Elway had returned.
For the last couple of years all we've heard are the constant whines of adults who say that texting while driving is dangerous. Of course it is, but is texting really the only form of distraction for drivers? In 2010, the state of Nebraska passed a law that made texting while driving illegal for all drivers.
Popcorn! Everyone loves popcorn! You eat it at movies and sporting events with extra butter or other flavorings. It is a loved snack throughout the world, but did you know that Nebraska is the number one producer of popcorn in the nation? The USDA has stated that over 25% of the popcorn produced in the United States is produced in Nebraska.
The end of thanksgiving break marks the end as life as you know it. That's right. Your semester of leisure will soon transform into diabolical black hole where you will find yourself on a collision course with papers, projects and every sinister obstacle in between.
It happened in one fatal move: the brutal end of a proud legacy. Everyone has heard the rumors, the allegations that have rocked Penn State University and ended Joe Paterno's 60-year career. The allegations that Jerry Sandusky spent 15 years molesting eight boys have cost three people their jobs and put one on administrative leave.
Many people, instead of merrily giving thanks with their family, were stealthily formulating their Black Friday shopping battle plans. Some believe Black Friday is not worth the time and energy; it is obvious that many others think it is.
By the time you read this, Thanksgiving will be over. Are you inundated by Christmas carols, cards and advertisements yet? Of course you are, those things show up long before Thanksgiving. Turning on the radio, TV or going out into public exposes you to a deadly plague of holiday cheer even while the ground is still covered in leaves instead of snow.
Thanksgiving is a time for family and food; lots of food. Turkey, rolls, stuffing, potatoes, casseroles, fruits, desserts, pumpkin pie—the list goes on. My family loves to cook and celebrate with food on holidays and Thanksgiving in particular, but it doesn't just appear from thin air; the turkey does not just magically appear in the grocery store freezer.
Members of START have been working hard to find ways to eliminate the outrageous amount of printer waste on campus. During the past year, we launched the Paper Waste Initiative, which campaigned to increase awareness of digital resources available to staff and students on campus.
In the world of colleges and universities all over the United States, there are students who rise above the rest and push themselves to physical limits to compete in a new circle of athletics. These are what we call student-athletes—students who make a commitment to devote a good portion of time out of the classrooms, of the college or university they are attending, to participate on a school athletic team.
It was decided on October 11 by Student Affairs Senate that Wesleyan would show support for the fight against the Keystone XL Pipeline. The passing of this bill is an important step for the campus. It represents the views of many students at Wesleyan and sends out a message to the public.
Disney's The Lion King 3D roared into the box office making roughly 30 million the first weekend it hit theatres. It certainly will not be the last Disney classic to bring in the cash; people were revved up and excited to see this classic on the big screen once again.
When looking around our campus, it is difficult to see a lack of pride at Nebraska Wesleyan. Many students wear Wesleyan hoodies, sweat pants, hats and do this without regard for what people may think or say. While we may not have the school spirit of, say the academic institution that is located down the street (UNL), we here at Nebraska Wesleyan have a serious pride in our University.
As a 230 pound male, I stepped out of my comfort zone when I attended yoga and water aerobics classes at the Weary Center this past week; however, I wanted to experience the Weary Center Aerobic Blitz first-hand. After learning skills and developing muscles that I do not use on a regular basis, I can confidently say that I will continue to attend the fitness class offerings at the Weary Center throughout the year.
Save the Frogs or a Waste of Money? The organization, Save the Frogs, has submitted a petition to the Environmental Protection Agency to ban the use and production of Atrazine, which is an herbicide that is used by many farmers throughout the world.
Sorority. It has a certain ring to it doesn't it? The idea that a sisterhood can bring girls THAT much closer to one another and form bonds that supposedly, last a lifetime. I'll admit, at one time, I did rush for a sorority.
Greek life. What is it? Why be a part of it? Why is it so "special"? I am in my Junior year at NWU and am currently a member of the Zeta Psi Fraternity. Within the years I have been a student, I hear non-stop critical opinions about Zeta Psi and Greek life as a whole.
Studying abroad has taken me back to the awkwardness of the first day of middle school. I pulled out my book bag, or in the case of studying abroad, multiple oversized bags, and filled them to the brim with both the useful and the not so useful things I swore I couldn't live without.
"Fat taxes" are looking to be the new trend. Last weekend, Denmark's "fat tax" went into effect, increasing taxes on food depending on the amount of saturated fat content. Basically, the tax rate is 16 Danish kroner per kilogram of saturated fat in food, which, in terms that we here in America can understand, is $6.
We are at the half way point of the first semester, and write-ups are still being handed out religiously, particularly in the Suites. My first question is why is this happening in the Suites more than any other residence hall? Why weren't these students caught in the first year residence halls last year? Are the Peer Assistants (P.
Clever but Underpublicized
The idea was very clever: stash Red Bull around different college campuses and have students find them in order to get one step closer to winning a grand prize. The idea is engaging and somewhat exciting. Too bad I didn't find out about it until one of my friends told me about it long after it started.
The crust, the goo, the oozing, the social stigma. It could only mean one thing. I've got a cold sore. Yeah, I said it, herpes! From its onset, a cold sore will leave you feeling more drained, unstable and stressed than you ever did before it happened.
Who doesn't love bacon? That's right, puppy-kickers and other bad people do. For the rest of us, there was a rather sad report on a popular breakfast restaurant, the Village Inn. Now, no one was under the illusion that bacon and hash browns would make them thinner, but the traditional comfort food has a veneer of respectability on loan because of the associations it has with home cooked food.
With both the College Football and NFL seasons underway, everyone is in that football season mode. The Husker Nation is back in action; the NFL lockout is in the rearview mirror and every football fan continually looks forward to each Saturday and Sunday for a bit of tailgating and dramatic games.
"The United States needs to reduce our dependency on foreign oil." This phrase may be overused, but in order for the U.S. to continue to function we need to find ways to limit the use of foreign oil. In 2010, the United States imported 11.
Donna Lopiano's speech was surprisingly fascinating and relevant. When it became clear that the theme of Visions and Ventures for 2011 was ‘Sports', there was a widespread opinion that sports were not really relevant to a lot of Liberal Arts Majors.
We all have whined and moaned about how awful the food is at Nebraska Wesleyan University at one point or another. One night it seems like the mashed potatoes couldn't taste better and another day, we are just frustrated that there's no fruit left at breakfast.
The Nebraska Wesleyan Intramural Department unveiled a ground-breaking intramural registration program to kick off the new year. All intramural seasons now begin with an electronic sign up. This system faced criticism from upperclassmen who found the new system confusing and cumbersome.
October brings about a sinister time of year and not just because of the frights and freaks Halloween brings out of the woodwork, but because that freak just might be your roommate. The days of frolicking amongst the flowers are over. School has been in session for over a month and the true colors of everyone, including your roommate, can no longer be restrained.
"Back to the Start." This is the title of Chipotle's newest video showcasing animated scenes from a farm. They show animals being put into barns, or "factories," being made into cubes, filled with medicines and creating harmful waste, then being shipped off in trucks.
Before I could study abroad and become an independent, mature woman, I had to go back to first grade. I had to sit in a classroom at Wesleyan while the study abroad department told me not to get in a car with a stranger and that a baby is never a good souvenir.
Four Steps to Finding a Normal Male
It is such a hard thing to do these days. Finding someone you can connect with who doesn't have skeletons in his closet or doesn't have an issue with drugs or an inclination to stalk you. It's not an easy thing to find a guy who can just be NORMAL.
Each fall, students around the globe begin the adventure of university life. Each student has goals, dreams, and visions of who they want to be. Most are eager to learn, to achieve, and to be satisfied while answering the question: "Who are you?" I'm no expert on this life thing, but what I have come to believe during my college experience, is that answering this question with "I am Brandon, a biology major who reads, runs, and enjoys pizza" is nothing to be proud of.
Uruguay?...is that in Africa? No. Somewhere by Italy? No. South America? By Argentina? Yes! Thank you! My name is Megan Meyerson and I'm an NWU junior. I'm nothing special. I rock the athletic shorts on a daily basis, straighten my hair only on special occasions, and think Sperry's are the only shoes that God created.
There's more than meets the eye in the neighborhood surrounding Nebraska Wesleyan. Have you been to HyVee Mainstreet Store at 48th and Leighton? It offers cheaper prices on some items than regular HyVee stores. Monster drinks are $1.69, for example.
Ethanol? Herefords? Organic? Hydroponic tomatoes? Do you have any idea what those words mean? Well, they are all related to the number one industry in the state of Nebraska: AGRICULTURE. The agricultural industry seems to have a negative connotation in the minds of people today, as society becomes more removed from the farm.
The Weary Center Pool is open once again, and I would like to thank and congratulate the Nebraska Wesleyan University student body and faculty for their efforts to make this possible. The pool closing last year disappointed a large number of individuals, and they acted to make a change.
Fellow Wesleyan students, I know what it is like to wonder about love, personal issues, or even just about what the future may bring. My name is Ella Consilio and I am here to offer you advice on all of the above. I am writing for the Reveille in order to bring my services to you, I have often been told that my advice is helpful, it seems to always be welcomed, and when taken seriously can help you work out whatever you may be struggling with.
When it comes to oil pipelines, the question isn't "if" there will be a spill; it's when there will be a spill. TransCanada has a history of poor integrity, when it comes to their pipelines as well as their business dealings. The company averaged one spill a month on the first Keystone pipeline they built, which does not cross the aquifer or the Sandhills, and had to shut it down.
My younger sister is starting her first semester of college this year at Briar Cliff University and all incoming freshman this year are receiving the second edition iPad to use for classes starting in the fall. I accompanied my sister to her orientation over the summer so I could see her school and sit in on some discussions of how they would incorporate the new iPad technology in to the classroom.
Ah, the local fair. An enduring summer tradition that sweeps through the Midwest once a year bringing families, food and festivities together for a week of good clean fun. Maybe the heat had gotten to me, perhaps the tune of "Dust on the Bottle" played on repeat was clouding my perceptions, the funnel cakes and nachos provoking a lethargic hatred of all things fair.
In a recent study that I personally conducted 73 times in the same day, it was found that men get incredibly turned on when a woman asks, "What are you thinking right now?" in a high pitched whiny voice. So much so that it is difficult for them to answer, leaving it up to us ladies to Nancy Drew the situation.
Round Two: How to Keep yo’ man from cheating
My baby angels, ever since my first article on dating, I have become a beacon of light, hope and truth on this campus. You might as well just spit on my neck and call me Oprah (no really, I'm into that). I haven't made it to a single class on time because I keep counseling people on my walk.
I can still remember standing in that long, winding line with my younger brother. I could not believe that I had let him talk me into getting on that death trap. It may have been 2004 at the time, but that experience directly relates to my life right now, in 2011.
Just a Game? As I sit down in my large comfy recliner angled to the left of the big screen in the family room; I pick up my tool for the day. The fine white plastic fits perfectly in my grasp. The four colored buttons made for my right hand are worn from use, but still serve their purpose.
I was driving to Target earlier today rocking out to one Randy Newman and his song titled "The World Isn't Fair." Oh, Randy – how right you are. Ah, Karma – the belief that what goes around comes around. Do unto others…, be a good Samaritan, et cetera, et cetera.
Crazy cousin Randy, Aunt Tara the wino and Grandpa Joe, whose off-color comments – well, you know. Adjust the names and scenarios and you understand my point: most families, no matter how great, have elements of dysfunction. So, too, does our family at Nebraska Wesleyan.

Talk about working with a "Debbie Downer!" 9. Sweeney Todd: Well, I guess you could learn how to give the best facial shave job in the world, but I am not sure you really want to learn some of Mr.
This article is part of the Reveille's April Fool's edition. Dr. John has spent several years working on what he is sure will soon be thought of as his first masterpiece. Dr. John's book titled "Frank's Bad Day" has been submitted to a national board and is being considered for the famed Pulitzer Prize.
This article is part of the Reveille's April Fool's edition. Okay – tell me if I am wrong, but sometimes class is just SUPER boring. I think that this could be remedied (that's a big word, LOL) by teachers allowing us hardworking students to use our cell phones in class without getting in trouble for it.
This article is part of the Reveille's April Fool's edition. If we have learned anything from the greatest poet of our time Missy Elliot it's: If it's worth it you gotta work it. Sistagirl, that's what today's column is all about, picking up your man with flair.
This article is part of the Reveille's April Fool's edition. When I read that I could spend a semester abroad living in a desert, my first thought was "how am I going to survive?" At first I worried that maybe I wasn't cut out for life in the extreme heat and all that sand! It's NOT pleasant getting that stuff in your jockies, am I right guys? After my initial worries subsided, I found a wave of confidence all thanks to the Discovery Channel and one Mr.
This article is part of the Reveille's April Fool's edition. Spring break has got to be my FAVORITE time of the school year. I mean what student doesn't love having an entire week off of making classes, homework, and campus life a priority. I know I love it.
Dear Students, Faculty and Staff: As most of you know, the second week of March was particularly difficult for our university. As I mentioned in an email that week, an individual unknown to us posted racist and homophobic flyers around campus. We have not yet established the identity of this person and continue to search for who this might be.
Last Thursday evening, the Willard Sorority held a philanthropy event for our daughter, and former Wesleyan student and Willard Sister, McKensie Straka., On Feb. 5, McKensie was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, and from that moment on, our entire family has been surrounded with so much love and support that we can barely wrap our minds around it! And true to that sisterhood love, Willard Sorority jumped into action! Thursday evening's event was an unbelievable success, serving over 600 people! A HUGE heartfelt thanks to the Willards, Backyard Burgers and so many other people that donated their time, efforts, and resources for McKensie and our family.
I'm writing this in response to the theme house article. As a resident of the Dream House I can attest first hand that the theme houses are a success and an asset to the Nebraska Wesleyan community. Despite the thought in the article, the Dream House consists of a variety and diverse set of students.
As a senior, I have grown and found myself here at Nebraska Wesleyan. It was here that I have discovered endless opportunities for learning and experiences that were never available to me in my small, conservative hometown. I am thankful for the programs, special organizations and courses that have opened my eyes to diversity and acceptance.
High-pitched screeching can be heard echoing throughout the residence. Despite the drunken fervor that overtakes the dorm on the weekend, this is not the shriek of a semi-intoxicated female, nor is it the sound of a rundown car, or even the echo of techno music in the distance.
In light of the recent flux of prejudice on campus via rude flyers, and the ever present prejudices worldwide, I feel it necessary to bring up another age-old dichotomy: man versus woman, or rather "man dominates woman." For the purpose of this article we'll call it "man thinks he's smarter than woman (especially at manly things).
Like a lot of people, I set a new year's resolution this year. My goal wasn't to lose weight, kick a nasty habit or finally figure out what I wanted to do with my life; instead my resolution was much more enjoyable and obtainable. My new year's resolution: to do a food crawl of every ethnic restaurant on 27th street.
Last Thursday, I was sitting on a bus parked along the curb of Huntington Avenue reading alert after alert sent to my cell phone and email account concerning a gunman who was walking near campus. The situation was more confusing and surreal than truly alarming, but as I sat on that bus, I began to ponder how this situation might be different if concealed weapons laws in Nebraska were less restrictive.
In the past month or so I have broken a habit that I have had for as long as I can remember. Hello, I'm Molly and I was a nail biter. I am not entirely sure what it was that inspired me to kick the habit, but I am pretty happy with myself for doing it.
Where can you go wrong with kids and the environment? Nebraska Wesleyan University certainly felt this way when they accepted students into the Dream and Green Houses for the 2010-11 academic year. Live together and work toward a common purpose. That is the driving sales pitch used by residential life staff to sell the theme houses that made their initial splash on campus last spring amid a confusing (and frustrating) housing selection process.
The majority of people exercising in the Gym wear headphones and listen to music. People walk around campus with their headphones around the shoulders indicating that they are ready to listen to their playlists anytime and anywhere. A life without the little portable friend that contains your favorite songs is unthinkable.
Dear Reveille Editor: I want to express my sincere gratitude to the students and staff who made this year's Winter Formal an enormous success. Unlike some past events, the responsible behavior of our students and the care they demonstrated toward one another contributed significantly to a successful Formal.
What is worth more, readers: having a fulfilling and stressful college experience or having $20 extra in your pocket? Okay, I answered $20 extra too, but that's because I've been living off of tuna and rice for the past month. Seriously though, isn't education and getting in tough life experiences more important now – in college – than earning more than minimum wage or working a part-time job you know you'll quit the second you get the chance? Don't get me wrong, I love to work.

It's easy to have negative things to say about Valentine's Day when you look at what the media has made it into. On Feb. 13 and 14, there will be an unavoidable mad-dash to any store with flowers and candy, people scooping up any heart-shaped boxes or poorly-arranged bouquets they can get their hands on just so they don't have to go home to their significant others without anything for Valentine's Day.
Feb. 14 is considered a holiday for few people. It's like Christmas for people of the Jewish faith. Valentine's Day is one day a year in which only a few can participate. Those few being those in "relationships" who feel it necessary to have a holiday in which they must prove their love for each other with chocolates, candle-lit dinners, flowers and expensive dates.
Ever since I could unlock the parental setting on my TV, I've been wasting hours watching MTV. My obsession began with seemingly innocent shows like "Room Raiders," "Parental Control" and "Date My Mom." Since then however, MTV has seemed to mature along with me, bringing on shows such as "Jersey Shore," "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom," -- all of which I tune in to watch for no real value beyond entertainment and homework procrastination.
All throughout college I have heard people talking about how much they can't wait to graduate and get out of here. I have always been the exact opposite. I constantly thought it was silly to wish for such a great time in one's life to be over so quickly, so soon.
My parents raised a masochist. They never banished me to my room, took away the car keys or otherwise punished me. You might suspect the corresponding effect might have been a wild youth. Truth be told, the worst I did in high school was speed across town to arrive in time for marching band performances.
With applications for the next year's Peer Assistants coming up, I thought it would be a good idea to share experiences and warn those who are interested in the job. Okay, warn is a little extreme – my job has yet to be dangerous, unless you consider flour and silly string wars dangerous.
Dear Reveille Editor: You have the perfect outfit and you even managed to find a date for Winter Formal only to have that special person or the person standing next to you puke all over you. Boy, that was an evening to remember!! While instances like that don't happen often, we are very aware they have occurred during past Winter Formals.
In the summer of 2009, a group of Nebraska Wesleyan's faculty and staff began discussing the adoption of some of the academic features of the curricula at other institutions. These institutions include a January term or a May term (also known as interterm or Winter term).
Marcello Cardenas, also known as the guy who would like to be half-Korean, is from Quito, the capital of Ecuador. Marcello is one of twelve new international students at Nebraska Wesleyan. He is studying business administration and international relations.
Winter Formal is a time to let loose and enjoy a night away from campus with your friends. It's an opportunity to reminisce in those awkward dances that even you guys know deep down you truly do miss. It is also a great opportunity to meet students from Wesleyan that you haven't had the chance to meet due to your different majors.
Try something new – that is my advice to you. The readers of this story will likely come in two waves: word will have reached some of you that The Reveille is publishing weekly this semester, alternating online and print editions. This column appears online but will also be published in the print version the following week.
Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to meeee. Man, I'm bored, and I'm doing homework? On my birthday? And where in the world are my birthday candles?! I turned twenty-two over the Thanksgiving break and let me tell you – it was not what I had in mind.
In recent months, it's been said that the party total around Lincoln, and at Wesleyan for that matter, has been on the upslope. When I looked at police records online and compared them to last year's data, it seems to be the case. However, everybody I talk to around campus seems to think that the amount of parties hasn't necessarily gone up as much as the amount of party break-ups, or HBO's (Handled by Officer).
What people say can stick with you. It was difficult for me to choose a college, so a degree program: not a clue. I agonized over the decision, ultimately filling my schedule with classes that fulfilled my general education requirements. The rationale being that while taking courses across divisions, I would find a major (or at least narrow my choices).
Change A word used SO much in the 2008 presidential campaigns that it no longer holds any meaning. Or so Urban Dictionary defines it, at least. Can I convince you to indulge me a moment as I talk about "change" that I am interested in realizing for The Reveille? In the six issues leading to this one, I learned (unequivocally) to never expect an error-free newspaper.
"Herr Ohles, verstehen Sie überhaupt was ich sage?" (Mr. Ohles, do you understand anything I'm saying?) "Il n'y a personne ici avec des chevaux rouges. Vous cherchez quelqu'un peut-être avec des cheveux rouges? (There's no one here with red horses.
The sound of crackling coughs can be heard echoing throughout campus, and it seems tragically evident that cold and flu season is hastily devouring Wesleyan; however, I am not here to give you "fun and easy tips" on how to stay healthy this winter. My sorrow is not for all the students and faculty who will endure another draining fl u season, rather for innocent bystanders who have to tolerate the various genres of annoying sick people.
It was only midway through October when residents of Centennial's fourth floor were gathered for a meeting about community living. The PA's tried to lighten the mood by providing cookies, which the football players quickly devoured without any thought for the other people at the meeting (especially the girls, a proof of chivalry's long absence from this world in most cases).
Freedom of speech and freedom of the press: for most U.S. citizens, these self-evident ideals form our nation's foundation. Rwanda, the site of the most efficient genocide in history with a million Tutsis dead after 100 days, complicated how I make sense of those terms.
"A sweet tooth doesn't always need the richest cake. Sometimes cookies and a glass of milk will do." -Rod McKuen I want to make this article sweet and to the point – it's about taking advantage of friendships, taking people for granted and simply taking too much.
"How do you know when it's the right time to put [your pets] to rest? Would you wait for them to go naturally? Or would you like to be in control of exactly when they will be exiting your life?" -Molly Hefner
In the days following Chris Hedges' speech in O'Donnell Auditorium I heard a lot of talk regarding his bleak outlook on what America is destined to become. One of my peers caught me quite off guard by saying, "I heard a lot of problems, but no solutions.
