Inside
- Seventh grade reflections (Maureen Smithe Copy Editor)
I was talking to my little brother on Instant Messenger the other day. He was proudly telling me about his football game last Saturday and how he had made his first touchdown. As I asked him the details of his game-winning play, I too started to beam with pride. He has played for several years now, and after every game he always "was so close" to making a touchdown. This was an athletic feat he had been working towards since his first trip to a Notre Dame football game.

- Ten Years Later: Remembering November 9, 1989 (By MARK JANTZEN )
I went to bed early on the night of Nov. 9, 1989. Around 10:30 p.m., Ekki, a friend of mine in the dorm, banged on my door and demanded that I join a group that was heading for West Berlin. Great, I thought, they've had another party in the basement and gotten really plastered this time. Good thing I locked my door; who needs a pile of drunks in your room when you're trying to get some sleep? Ekki wouldn't go away, however, and he sounded half-way sober so I tried to make sense out of his babbling. He said something about seeing a report on the West Berlin evening news that East Berliners were being let through the wall in Bornholmer Street. Given the events over the last month in East Germany, it didn't seem entirely impossible, so I decided to join the group in investigating the possibility.

- Techno Music: An American Tradition (By TODD CALLAIS Scene Music Critic)
There is perhaps no genre of music more misunderstood or stereotyped than techno. It is not uncommon to hear a self-proclaimed music fan say, "Oh, I could do that stuff, just give me a computer," or "Whatever, I don't like that Euro stuff." Others will assume that techno music is a genre limited only to groups like Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim. The truth is that techno is one of the most complicated and intricate styles of music with a deep American history that ranges over hundreds of talented and respect-worthy artists.
- 311's new offering is `down'-right horrible (By BRIAN KORNMANN Scene Music Critic)
Success came fast for 311 four years ago. With the release of its self-titled studio album, 311 quickly went from playing 2,500 seat clubs to playing sold-out amphitheaters and packaged rock-fests. The band had a very unique sound, mixing punk, funk, rap and reggae, and was embraced by nearly everyone from major radio to MTV. The future seemed very bright for the Omaha band.
