UNL professor among best French translators
BY CHRIS JACOBS
Parfois quelqu’un 6crit une chose vrai
ment profonde mais tout le monde ne la com
prend pas d cause de son langage original.
Or sometimes someone writes some
thing truly profound but not everybody
understands it because of its original lan
guage.
Enter Jordan Stump, a man internation
ally knowp for his translations from French
to English, and the problem is solved.
“When I began to translate, I found that it
forced me into a kind of reading that I’d
never done before, that is looking at every
thing in the text,” said Stump, an associate
professor of French at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln.
"Translating is the most intense kind of
reading you could possibly do.”
Stump has translated nine books, includ
ing has most recent title “On the Ceiling” by
fine Chevillard. He is currently working on
Jules Verne's “The Mysterious Island,” which
is due out later in the year.
Stump said the Verne project was his first
time translating 19th century prose, there
fore the book presented him with a new
challenge.
“You have to force yourself into a 19th
century mindset in order to get the language
across with these pieces,” he said. “In trans
lating, you’re out on a tight rope. You never
feel entirely comfortable with what you’ve
done.”
Ladette Randolph, a humanities editor
for the University of Nebraska Press, said
Stump was one of the premier translators of
this country.
“He’s not just a translator,” Randolph
said. “He has a sophisticated, creative ability
to go beyond words and see how the writer is
trying to provoke the audience.”
Stump, who spent a large part of his
childhood in France, began translating
when a an editor at the University Press

Zooey Kumar, a senior theater major, poses for figure drawing painting and sculpting dasses in the art college. Kumar doesn't mind posing nude for the dasses and enjoys the money that posing earns.

Flexibility.
Good pay.
Nude models have
no problems with
the two hitches of
baring all:
Strip.
Pose.
Story by Crystal Wiebe
Photo by Scott McClurg
Motionless, detached, Zooey Kumar
loses herself in haiku poetry while
University of Nebraska-Lincoln students
turn the image of her naked body into art.
She understands what it must be like to be a
Buddhist monk, “just sitting there for hours
and hours.”
“It gets kind of meditative after a while,”
Kumar said.
For Michael Winfield, a spot on the wall
or a daydream helps him forget his naked
ness while students circle ton, “trying to
get the best angle.”
"The students actually make you feel
more like an object than a person,” Winfield
said.
Part of a small ring of nude models at
UNL, both seniors bare it all in the name of
art
“People who are willing to take their
clothes off for art's sake are, for whatever
reason, few and far between,” said Kumar, a
university studies major.
Both Kumar and Winfield, a communi
cations studies major, began modeling
after seeing an ad in die Daily Nebraskan.
It seemed like the perfect job for Kumar,
who was bored by a job at the library but
had trouble finding work that wouldn't
interfere with her schedule.
As a nude model, she could work and go
to class during the day and still make it to
play rehearsals at night.
Kumar said that many people found it
hard to accept her willingness to model
nude, which pays $10 an hour.
But extroverted Kumar insists she is a
“normal human being.” Nakedness, even in
front of 20 or 30 art students, just doesn’t
intimidate her.
In fact, compared to things like danc
ing, Kumar thinks nakedness is “probably
more flattering than pink tights and leo
tards.”
Winfield saw the job as an opportunity
to beef up his modeling resume. Having
already done some fashion modeling,
Winfield wanted to model nude for the
experience.
“In photography you move a lot,” he
said. “With nude modeling for drawing,
you're put into one position and you have
to stay in it”
The most uncomfortable position
Winfield ever had to hold required him to
be twisted at the torso.
“You just try to put yourself into that
position and relax,” he said.
Assistant Art Professor Santiago Cal
said such positions helped student artists
understand the proportions of the human
body. He said artists picked “landmarks on
the body” that could not be identified with
clothing.
“It’s the same reason when you’re
studying medicine; you can’t study the
human anatomy distilled with clothing,”
Cal said.
The nudity is just so natural and neces
sary that it is overlooked by artists like Scott
Eastman, a junior studio art major.
“You’re not even thinking of them as a
student or a person, (they are) just a
dynamic model to draw,” Eastman said.
Still, the first time modeling nude can
be unnerving, even to someone as confi
dent as Kumar, who took off her glasses
when she didn’t want to see the faces of the
first people to draw her.
But Kumar soon realized there was
nofiiing to be nervous about
“They’re staring at your elbow so hard it
looks like they're going to fall over," she said.
During breaks in file class, Winfield said
he liked to sneak peeks at the artists’ inter
pretations of his body.
At first he was surprised that most of
pieces were abstract instead of “exact
sketches."
“Sometimes it was only my leg or upper
body or lower body,” he said. “Some of
them I wanted to actually keep.”
Kumar tries not to look at the pictures
she inspires, but “you learn not to take it
personally when people draw your thighs
too big,” she said.
BW-3 scores as the best winqs found
BY CASEY JOHNSON &
SARAH SUMNER
Although Lincoln did
not invent the buffalo wing
(um, that was buffalo), it
carries on the tradition like
many places throughout
the country. We visited a
handful of local places and
ranked them accordingly
on our wing tour of Lincoln.
These aren’t the most
precise ratings (★ -
★★★★★ based on sauce,
meat, taste, size and selec
tion) ever devised. After all,
wings aren’t French souf
fles, they’re yard birds, bast
ed and fried.
But long live, the wing!
(All wings tasted were
based on the most tradi
tional sauce available.)
BW-3 irkirky*
1328PSt
BW-3 has an amount of
sauces that is unparalleled
in town, with 13 different
kinds, ranging from teriyaki
to smoky southwestern to
Caribbean jerk.
We tried the medium
sauce and found it to be
tangy and cheesy, and the
consistency was thick and
powdery. The meat was
soft, chewy and somewhat
stringy, but the wings were
still great.
The skin was crispy and
held the sauce well. The size
was a bit smaller than aver
age, but the price was ade
quate for what we received
(6 wings for $2.89 plus tax).
The Watering Hole
★★★★
13210 St.
Despite a new owner,
this place can still hold its
own in the wing depart
ment. The sauce had a
sweet, buttery flavor. It was
spicy, yet did not contain
very much zest. The selec
tion of sauces is few with
just three choices: grilled,
barbecue and original. The
meat was moist, slick and
well cooked.
Overall, these wings
were more representative
of a traditional taste. You
can get a good amount of
wings for your money at
The Watering Hole (10-11
wings with dressing for
$4.50 or 18 for $5.95 plus
tax).
Brewsky’s Food &
Spirits - ★★★ Vz
1602 South St.
2840 8.70th St.
2662 Comhusker Hwy.
Brewsky’s has a great
presentation of dressing,
celery and a handful of
sauces in which to tempt
the adventurous with. If
one is daring, he or she may
try the green pepper apri

Light and mindless,
'Sugar'still works
BY SARAH SUMNER
Good girls turn bad in “Sugar & Spice,” MTV’s
new teen movie of improbable events and pop-cul
ture antics that’s humorous and flat. But guess
what? It works.
Though the movie is just under 90 minutes, it
gets in there, says its peace and gets out like a
speeding get-away car.
Five close-as-sisters cheerleaders ban together
to rob a supermarket bank.
The story centers on the
cheerleading captain Diane
(Marley Shelton) who is preg
nant and marries the school’s
football hero, Jack.
Aside from the obvious play on John Cougar
