But several members of the Doane community do it for free—and they love it.

Sophomore Dustin Hageman, juniors Hunter Creglow, Joseph Couch and Ty- ler Kulawik, and seniors Tyler Kuhfahl and Tyler Brandt are some of Doane’s volunteers on the Crete Fire Department. Hageman, a volunteer of three weeks, said it was a childhood dream of his to be a ire ighter. “I wanted to get involved and help the community,” he said. “It teaches you things you can’t learn in school. You learn things you can take with you for the rest of your life.” Creglow, who has been in the department since March, said it was a good way to connect with the community. “Doane is its own little bubble,” he said. “It’s really hard to meet anyone from outside the Doane community, unless you’re involved with the Crete commu- nity.” Couch, who has been on the department for two months and is also a part of the National Guard, said he wanted to be involved in important community service. “I’m pretty squeamish when it comes to medical stuf, so that’s a little awk- ward,” he said. “That’s something I’m looking forward to overcoming through being on the ire department.” Many of the Doane volunteers are planning on going to medical school after Doane. Kulawik said he wanted to make medicine a career. He said his interest in the ire department spiked after he and his roommate found out about EMT training and talked to Fire Chief Todd Allen about Doane students volunteering. Allen said other members of the department were hesitant at irst to let stu- dents join, but they did not regret the decision. “It’s a great thing,” Allen said. “They’re young, full of energy, strong and they’re smart. They’re going to college—they should be smarter than the average person. Also, most of them are pre-med future doctors. So, when they’re in surgery later in life, they’ll know early on what the patient had to go through.” see STUDENT FIREFIGHTERS, p. 3

CHEYANNA KEMPEL Staf Writer

The process of “coming out of the closet” does not mean stepping out of a dark room into the light one time. For some Doane students, coming out as gay or lesbian is an action that has to be repeated when necessary. Sophomore Shaundra Freeman knew she was gay when she was in irst grade but didn’t come out until her junior year of high school. “The worst part is actually coming out,” Freeman said. “The scariest part is that you don’t know how people will react.” Freeman told her close friends irst and then told her mother through text. Her mother texted her back with a supportive response. Freeman said the students of Doane have also been supportive of her sexual orientation. “Graduating high school and coming to a new school is like coming out all over again,” Freeman said. “Thankfully, I’ve had really supportive friends who have made it easy for me to tell them that this is who I am.” Junior Miranda Mayer said it’s hard to say when she “came out” because she was never really hiding. She told some friends for the irst time her junior year of high school in the basement of her home. “I told a large group of people last year,” Mayer said. “I suppose that was when most of my friends found out that I was pansexual. It was never something I was trying to hide, if someone asked I would gladly tell them, but it was not something I was going to go around yelling from the roof tops.” Pansexuality is when a person’s attraction to others is not limited to a certain gender or gender identity. “I have been very lucky that the people I surround myself with are very accepting of the way I am,” Mayer said. Junior Megan Fender told her friends irst and then her family. “I igured out I was gay toward the end of middle school and came out in the midst of my sophomore year of high school,” Fender said. Fender said that going into new situations where people don’t know she is gay is not an issue. “It’s mostly just wondering how they view homosexuals and hoping that they don’t care,” Fender said. “I consider myself lucky because I know multiple people with families who are not as accepting as mine.” Freshman Rylee Kroger knew she was gay her freshman year of high school and came out to her supportive mother during a car ride to an eye appointment her junior year. “I told my mom irst, then she told my dad,” Kroger said. “He didn’t take it very well at irst, but now he’s okay with it. My grandparents still try to push me into being straight, but I don’t listen to them. Everyone else is pretty happy as long as I’m happy.” Coming to Doane and starting over, she did not hide her sexual orientation. “I was lamboyant,” Kroger said. “Since the irst day, if someone asked, I told them.” Kroger said it has not been diicult to be open with people at Doane. “You can talk about being gay with anyone and they accept Photo illustration/Cassidy Stefka it because they don’t really judge,” Kroger said. Deciding when and to whom to come out is just part of the challenge.

- STAFF EDITORIAL - UN sets sights on Ferguson LGBT couples deserve to marry, even in Nebraska

Nebraska needs to end its ban on gay marriage. The state’s next attorney general, Doug Peterson, has defended the ban, saying that voters have decided that marriage is between a man and a woman. The voter-approved ban has been in place since 2000, and Peterson argues that marriage licenses are a state in- terest matter as opposed to a federal matter. But human rights are being violated. In this case, the rights of the minority are being de- ined by the beliefs of the majority. That’s not right. Public opinion of homosexuality has shifted over the past decade. More LGBT individuals feel comfortable being open about who they are--Doane students included. But coming out is still a struggle. There are questions about whether or not you will be accepted. Will your friends and family still be there for you? In new situa- Protesters call for the arrest of police tions with new people, do you talk about it?

The organization has not released details of the law- suit. The ban was challenged in 2003, with a federal law- suit iled by Citizens for Equal Protection, the ACLU and other groups. The ban was struck down by Senior U.S. District Judge Joseph F. Bataillon in 2005, but his order was overturned by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The 8th Circuit judges will likely make a decision in the recent lawsuit as well, but there’s also the possibility that the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in. Last year the Supreme Court declared part of the fed- eral Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional. As a re- sult, the federal government must recognize same-sex marriages conducted legally in states. Several appellate courts have overturned same-sex marriage bans since that decision. ter lack of arrest But last week, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals became Brown’s family seeks justice a the irst in recent years to uphold state bans on gay mar - riage.

Gokie said track starts of every practice with a core workout as part of their warm up. “We do sit ups in every warm up, just for core and for back, also to kind of even out the core. One core work- out we do is one where you lay on your stomach and then put your arms straight out in front of you and lift up your arms and legs, it works your low back and is really hard to do,” Gokie said Matthews said there is a lot of ab based workouts in baseball, especially in the ofseason, where they have two full days dedicated to abs a week. “We do bridges and ket- tlebell swings.
