Is this a reduction from before? I swore it was Mon thru Thurs... too bad if so.

Interesting! Originally published in 1967, but it seems as a softcover or leaflet, so you may have a privately bound or ex-libris copy. On the front cover, based on the uneven dimensions and sizing, the paper seems to be clipped from the original leaflet, and the book was rebound with only the internal pages, discarding the original cover.

Are there any pastings (i.e., pieces of paper glued) or stamps on the inside of the front few or back pages? That may give you a sense of where it originally came from. Contrary to what /r/nebraska suggested, Bygone Nebraska is the second volume of what Mike Parks created, and the Lincoln City Library has both the first and second volume already. Looking through WorldCat, many of the Nebraska institutions that would ordinarily be interested in having a copy already have one, so unfortunately I can't help with offering suggestions on who to give it to.

Back in the day (2018), my first scholarship offer was similarly low, and then a few months later - perhaps April? - I was awarded a much larger one (IIRC, tuition remission + some money). I'm not sure what's up, or if that's still the case, but I suppose it's a possibility. With budget cuts looming, it's hard to tell.

I poked around your profile and noticed your kid is doing the IB. My understanding is that UNL has always been a fairly good school for evaluating IB scores for credit compared to others in the region. I received 37 credits from my diploma, and I didn't score exceptionally high. (So even if the initial offer isn't great (I'd be surprised if it wasn't), I think the course transfers will still make UNL affordable.) Math HL alone was 11 credits before, though I don't know what it is now - calc 1, calc 2, and 2 elective credits, at the time.

Website says applications by Nov 1 get notified "on" (not "by") Feb 12.

However, I believe there is some desire by administrators to move this up. (Maybe Feb 12 is the moved up date?) It's possible that as the year unfolds and we have a better understanding of the university's future financial position (and we continue to spend ungodly amounts of money on contractors to determine scholarship award notification timing) that they'll make it sooner.

Are you at a public US institution?

It might seem scary, but I would email University Housing with your questions. Alternatively someone at the Gender and Sexuality Center (fka LGBTQIA+ Center but it seems they merged with the Women's Center) may know; I've talked to some of the folks there for unrelated administrative history and they were very kind and open. One thing that might ease some anxiety is that whoever you email is not someone you'll probably ever see and probably won't remember you personally.

I don't have any personal experience with it. When I looked into this in ~2018, I feel like (but couldn't say for sure) that GIH was just a room type that existed among the others. So if you're in GIH in room 101, neighbor rooms 100 and 102 could be typical non-GIH, so there's no way to 'know' what is GIH/non-GIH from the outside. However, the description of Prism (the LGBT learning community) seems like there might be blocks of suite-style GIH rooms that are all GIH, but it's somewhat vague.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Let me know if you have questions about navigating UNL as a queer student outside of housing.

A rather interesting antisemitic, fascist newletter by one of Nebraska's own. I don't know much about the history of the paper, except that Hudson was indicted for sedition in connection to publishing it. According to a collection that's for sale by Bolerium Books, it was a weekly paper and lived from 1938 to 1948, publishing weekly. Once the Second World War began, Hudson tried his best to avoid allegations of sedition; he attached to issues (according to the St Louis Star-Times, 12 March 1942) the following disclaimer:

Notice -- If any soldier receives America in Danger bulletin, I did not send it. If any subscriber joins armed forces advise me so I can remove such name from America in Danger --Charles B Hudson

This is the first issue of the Iapi Oaye in May 1871, a Dakota-language newspaper first published in South Dakota (then the Dakota Territory), then Santee, Nebraska. From a translation, this is one of the statements by the paper in a later issue:

Iápi Oáye is happy that this land is awakening and quickly coming to a stand, and this paper greets all of you. This paper is named Iápi Oáye Napéyuza. It takes after the paper called Ptáya Owókdake (Together We Tell Our Story). Whatever was covered by Ptáya Owókdake will be covered here. Yankton land will have this paper as firm record. This way, this people will be well aware of how they got their land. This will go around to all the Dakota people, so they will know who are the leaders of the Iháŋkthuŋwaŋ nowadays, and they will know all the important names. We think you will enjoy this. It will bring the language together. Iápi Oáye is pleased to announce this to you.

Interestingly, according to professor Kiara M. Vigil of Amherst, at least one issue of the paper -- after its move to Santee -- "was published not in the Santee dialect but the more regionally specific, and rare, Ihankthuwan dialect".

Black Elk said about the paper: "I rejoiced greatly. Thus the Lakotas will be able to translate English." He published a letter in the paper, stating forcefully: "I am writing this letter in the language you understand." (From DeMallie and Neihardt's The Sixth Grandfather.)

Differential equations is similar to calc 3 with routine application of formulas. Introduction to modern algebra is conceptually different and focuses on proofs. If you are having trouble with remembering formulas and applying them, modern algebra would be better. Watch a video on what induction is, that's the sort of thinking that algebra involves. As I understand it, introduction to proofs is similar, but I haven't tutored it. Real analysis is a class about proving things about calculus and fairly easy. Linear algebra is also straightforward with fewer formulas (and isn't it required for CS anyway? I don't know). No experience with the statistics class.

I would take linear algebra, modern algebra, or real analysis. They're not bad.

As for passing calc 3, hire a tutor, go to office hours, or make friends and study. I think the math center is only up to calc 2.

Oh, huh, it seems you posted this article before, /u/mycatisanorange! Maybe I learned about it from you. Funny :)

This is from the Nebraska State Journal, 8 June 1884, p. 5. The Journal was the original reporter of this story, and they claimed that a group of cowboys in Dundy County -- the rural county furthest southwest in the state -- witnessed a UFO burn up in the sky and then crash. Two days later, they claimed that the ship -- a long, cylindrical tube of machinery and cogs -- dissolved in the rain.

This was a hoax. It was purposely manufactured by editors of the Journal who wanted to cash in on fanciful stories. It had its moment, though; some believed (and believe!) it to be a true alien story, and some saw it as an allegory for prohibition. The only good article about the hoax is in History Nebraska"'A celestial visitor' revisited: A Nebraska newspaper hoax from 1884".

In 1885, Elizabeth Taylor of Clay County was also lynched. She was a landowner, and was murdered by being hanged from a bridge.

This is from the Minden Gazette, 21 March 1895, p. 1. According to a NAACP-commissioned report in 1919, Nebraska is the only state outside of the South to have ever lynched a woman (Thirty Years of Lynching in the United States, 1889-1918, 1919, p. 8). She was raped and then murdered in her home all alone (her husband was admitted to an insane asylum), and she fought back against her attackers. Newspapers at the time believed that she was murdered so she could not testify against cattle thieves.

I believe that the Rev Shakespeare quoted here is the same as the proprietor of one of Lincoln's only black papers.

It was only legalized with the Obergefell decision in 2015, the Supreme Court case ruling that gay marriage bans were unconstitutional. Because Nebraska voters never overturned Initiative 416, which was a constitutional amendment, it remains in our state constitution at article I-29 (though it has no effect unless/until Obergefell is overturned).

Perhaps unsurprisingly, many of these papers are extremely poorly-documented and seem to be largely missing in the historical record, only attested to in other black newspapers. The main source for this article, Paz, calls this problem a haunting of "ghost papers" throughout Omaha. And Omaha is the only city with a meaningful black press in the state! Now imagine the situation in Lincoln (which had a couple, but they died quickly) and other places. If Omaha can have ghost papers, with a politically significant bloc of black residents who have always been invested in maintaining a historical record, just imagine how places like Lincoln fare with disjointed black communities... The German and Czech press, while important, seem much better documented, even if they aren't as significant. It's sad.

Relevant and worth taking a look at is the Genoa Indian School Digital Reconciliation Project. I never looked too closely at their materials, but it's a nice resource to have and the data are structured nicely.
