- UMRR CHURCHILL
I’m a graduate student in saxophone per
formance. I’m also a writer and composer,
and I read everything I can on almost every
subject under the sun.
I like writing. I like it a lot And, 8incep|
I’m strongly considering staying here at the
University ofNebraska-Lincoln for a sec
_ond master's degree in journalism (and,
since I don’t have a bachelor’s in it, it might
be a tough row to hoe), I’d like to get some practical experience before I make up
my mind.
For those of you who haven’t read my previous columns, I hope you’ll give
them a try. UNL students desperately need people who aren’t exactly in the main
stream. Since I’m more than 30 years old and divorced, I am NOT a traditional
graduate student as UNL seems to define it.
Yet, in a lot of ways, I’m not all that different from most of you. I am rather
conservative morally, but I’m a strong and unabashed social liberal who believes
anyone, regardless of race, sexuality or creed, deserves a chance to state his or her
opinion in peace. I am also a nonmaterialist nonconformist who believes, like the
“X-Files,” “the truth is out there.”

To be honest, the underlying reason I write this column is to remove myself -

KLAUS MARRE
Hi there. My name is Klaus Marre and
I’m a senior in broadcasting. My hobbies are
... just kidding. I’m supposed to write about
myself and my columns. Well, first of all,
I’m German. In Nebraska this seems to be
my most important quality because I am
introduced as “my German friend” or “he is
from Germany.” Sometimes it is really
annoying to be “the German,” but it has ; j
some benefits. I can act totally strange while pretending my behavior is a German
custom. It works - try it in Colorado some time.
Some of you might know me from certain Daily Nebraskan articles last semes
ter or from my work on KRNU’s “Three Men and a German.” If you do, then you
probably have an idea of what I’m about.
I want to use the opportunity to write in the Daily Nebraskan to bring a differ
ent viewpoint to this university (or the three to five people who will actually read
my column). I realize many students have not gotten out of the country or
Lancaster County and I want to compare a few things between living here and in
Europe. Some of you will find that interesting; others will get pissed off, send me
nasty letters and threaten to report me to Immigration. Great!!!
SHAWN MEYSENBUB6
I was bom in Lincoln in May 1973.
After a few years, my family moved, and I
grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania.
The summerl>efore my junior year in high
school, my family uprooted once again and
moved back to Nebraska. I graduated from
Morrill High School in 1991.
H Shortly after graduation, I enlisted in
toe U.S. Navy. I managed to survive boot
camp, and reported to a foreign language school on toe coast of central California.
While there, I studied Russian. After completing this training, I was sent overseas
and spent four years abroad in Japan, Scotland and Germany.
When my enlistment came to an end, I left toe military and moved to Lincoln to
begin college. I don’t really care for college (mostly because I don’t like studying
or being flat broke all of toe time), but I do enjoy writing. That’s why I applied to
be a columnist

Hello there, my name is Josh Moenning,
and I will be the guy those of you suffering
under the mostly irrational liberal ideology
will love to hate this semester. For die rest
of you with sound mind, body and soul, it
should be a fun ride.
On a more personal note, I hail from the
sleepy little village of Batde Creek. I am
currently a sophomore political science
as tar as my interests go, I enjoy watching “Welcome Back,
rvuner ana i nree’s Company” reruns as well as maintaining my own Biz Markie
album collection.

God, I hate introductions. Say a little
I something about myself? All right. I grew
I up in a medium-sized town in Iowa, went to
■B high school in Lincoln and am in the
I process of switching over to a combination
I English and religious studies major. And the
I most important thing I learn every single
I year is that everything I assumed last year is
wrong (or a little off-base).
Some of you may have read my columns last semester. If so, expect more of the
same. And for those of you who don’t know, “the same” usually involves some
combination of religion, sex, liberalism and a general feeling of, “It’s going to be
OK. Not great, but OK.”

-HATH OVCHARENKO
Kateryna Ovcharenko is my name, and if
you take a phonetics course, you may be
able to pronounce it. I’m an exchange stu
dent from Ukraine; it’s quite a large
European country by the Black Sea.
I’m a freshman English major, though I
could have been a junior if I were a transfer
student. I’m also a Christian; don’t ask me
about my denomination - I’m the one who
follows Christ. That’s it.
As for my personal traits, I have a good sense of humor (well, maybe not, but
the hope never dies). I like traveling and meeting new, interesting people. I love my
family, friends, people in general, Mother Nature, books, dogs, bags, flags -1 love
life!
