Courtesy photo Football Coach Herman Boone, played by Denzel Washington, grills a player during football practice, chanting “Fourth quarter, fourth quarter ““Remember theT1tans“is a movie about the 1971 integration of a high school football team. 'Titans'forgets its own history TITANS from page 8 speech is a sound byte. Washington’s persona exudes the notion he’s one step ahead. It works against him here. The player cast is littered with actors far older than high school age, which shows, espe cially in Bertier (Ryan Hurst), the spirited defensive captain, who meets tragedy midway through the film. There, running back-turned-linebacker Petey (Donald Faison) and beach-boy quarterback Sunshine (Kip Pardue) produce “Titans’” one strange turn of events. To keep the kids plugged into the film is Yoast’s 9-year-old daughter, Cheryl (Hayden Pantierre), who watches game film and tosses tantrums when the tight end purposely whiffs Hunsicker excels in business, sports, design HUNSICKER from page > Despite the heavy emphasis on the business side of clothing design, Hunsicker said creativity is still a big part of merchandis ing. "Not only do you have to keep up on the trends,” she said, “but you also have to be able to pres ent something in an original way.” The merchandiser, Hunsicker said, sets the mood for the prod uct “It’s endless the things you can do to set a mood,” she said. “When you’re selling an idea, the trick is to know your audience and create a mood they under stand. u worn ao any gooa 10 laxe, say, a product aimed at teenagers and create something that would probably only appeal to someone older," she said. Hunsicker also spends her time as treasurer of Montage, a textile, clothing and design club. Montage will hold a clothing exhibition at the Nebraska Union in January. Besides being a stand-out student, Hunsicker has had to balance a school schedule with the demands of being a Division I athlete. "You get used to it,” she said. “I've had years and years of prac tice at being a student athlete. The only thing you can do is schedule things around prac tice.” Wendy Wiess, an associate professor in textile, clothing and design was also impressed with Hunsicker’s devotion to her school work while she was on the swim team. “She was very focused on her projects and didn't let sports interfere,” Weiss said. Hunsicker is a “complete” student, Weiss said. “I’m always happy when a merchandising student can do well in the design side of the col lege,” she said. Hunsicker said she had no trouble focusing on school while being an athlete. “When I’m busy, I find that I'm more focused and stay on taskbetter,” shesaid. “When all of my time is accounted for, it does n’t give me a chance to slack off. “Also, the biggest reason I came to Nebraska was the incomparable support this uni versity gives its student-athletes.” Hunsicker’s involvement in sports also helped her under stand the team concept that is essential in the textile industry. “This industry moves so fast that there is no way someone could do everything,” she said. Weiss agreed, and said that having a student like Hunsicker, who is familiar with team con cepts, can make a group run smoothly. Hunsicker used up her sports eligibility last year and said she went through a sort of “time shock” when the school year started. “I had all of this time and nothing to do with it,” she said. Hunsicker has used that time to focus more on her studies and still helps with the swim team when she can. • She also worked as an intern for Von Maur last summer and said the practical experience was helpful “I was glad to see how the retail end of merchandising Scott McQurg/DN Hunskker focuses on the whole picture of how design and textiles work into merchandising. works,” she said. “I can do all the class work I want, but without experience, it doesn’t do me a lot of good.” Although the experience was nice, Hunsicker said the lack of creative input in her position was a bit frustrating. “Von Maur is very specific on where they want displays and how they want them to look,” die said. But the job did teach her how to be a true professional, and, despite the fun she had swim ming for NU, Hunsicker said she THE GLASS GALLERY. LTD.

"I spent four years as an ath lete at one of the biggest sports schools in the nation, and it takes my major to get an article written about me” on a block. Her performance is appropriately precocious, as it falls in line with the rest of the film. And maybe the safe bet that “Titans” hedges on is its most disappointing attribute. It turns the strength of a true story - a~ story of boiling, painful emo tions bubbling to the surface right on the football field - into a feel-good fairy tale. A positive message? No problem. But to drench it in a story that simply changes every Alexandrian heart discounts the actual struggle of racial integra tion. It's a year 2000 view of a 1971 racial problem, out of touch with just about every thing that raged at the moment Howard’s script is a true story, sure. But not the whole one. And just how do we know that? Pay close attention to the way that none of the high school seniors - or anyone for that mat ter - never mention theVietnam War, even though Alexandria is a Naval town.
