Germany forced to restrict
borders as migrants and
refugees continue to pour
into Europe
The German government cut rail
travel with Austria on Sunday, just
a day before European leaders were
set to meet in Brussels to discuss
a plan for Europes acceptance of
migrants.
The border closure has prompted
worries that Europe may be unequipped to handle the crisis if
Germany, Europes richest and most
populous country, cannot stem
the tide of migrants. Countries in
eastern Europe, notably Macedonia
and reactionary Hungary, have long
complained about the influx of
migrants and the European Unions
welcoming stance on the crisis.
In the face of all this, Germanys
Interior Minister Thomas de Maziere called the closure a signal to
Europe that more needs to be done,
according to The New York Times.
Introducing temporary border
controls will not solve the whole
problem, de Maziere said.
Even so, de Mazieres statements
and the political will of Chancellor
Angela Merkel may do little to stem
fears that Europe can handle the
small fraction of migrants that have
made it there.
A majority of the Syrians displaced by the civil war, some six
million people according to the
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, are internally
displaced and have been removed
from their homes while remaining
inside Syrian borders. Another three
million have fled to Syrias nearest
neighbors Turkey, Lebanon and
Jordan. Only 350,000, mostly those
Syrians with the necessary funds,
have made the trek to Europe.
On Monday, Hungary, Austria,
Slovakia and the Netherlands followed Germanys lead with renewed
border restrictions.

Student
population growth
prompts action

packed tightly
like sardines in

way through areas like the
University of Nevada, Renos
Joe Crowley Student Union
food court, classrooms and
lecture halls have managed
to accommodate the largest student population the
campus has ever seen. The
news that students academic
needs are being met despite
the increase over the past few
semesters has been a relief for
UNRs administration.
Data provided by the 2014
UNR Capacity Study implies
that significant changes are in
store. Renovations, remodeling and repurposement seem
to be a major theme for coming semesters. There is one
word that truly encompasses
UNRs situation growth.
In the past two years, staff
in the Office of the President
have authorized 101 new
faculty positions and 71
graduate assistant positions
at the University of Nevada,
Reno. Thompson Hall, White
Pine Hall and Manzanita Hall
are all up for potential repurposement, which could create
more faculty work space on
campus. Within five to six
years, enrollment is expected
to reach 22,000.
Serge Herzog is the director
for the Office of Institutional
Analysis. This branch of Planning, Budget and Analysis
produces reports and studies
on operations on campus.
Herzog points out that the
growth expresses a need
for more faculty, more office space and more faculty
research labs, rather than student work space.
The
capacity
report
highlights the areas where
UNR needs to expand its
infrastructure, Herzog said.
We actually have enough
[instructional space] to accommodate another 7,000
students.
NATIONAL
Ferguson commission
releases long-awaited
report
The Ferguson Commission, which
was appointed by Missouri Gov. Jay
Nixon in the wake of the shooting
of Michael Brown, released a 200page report detailing the underlying
problems that caused the 2014 riots
in Ferguson.
What the commission found was
a deeply divided city of St. Louis.
We have not moved beyond
race, the report read. St. Louis does
not have a proud history on this
topic, and we are still suffering the
consequences of decisions made by
our predecessors.
The commission proposed a
number of policy changes, most
notably requiring the Missouri
attorney general to be special prosecutor in police-involved shootings.
This and several other reforms have
incensed critics, who largely believe
the recommendations will be meaningless in the conservative Missouri.

Smoke blankets Reno as
flames continue to rage in
California
Reno woke up to a red sun this
morning as the air quality index was
lowered to moderate due to smoke
from the Valley and Butte Fires, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal.
Those fires, which have displaced
23,000 people in California as of
Monday, have burned down more
than 270,000 acres and burned
down some 1,000 homes.
The Valley Fire, which is the fastest
of the three fires tearing through
northern California, was only 5
percent contained as of Monday
morning, according to Cal Fire.

Amid MICP
rise, ASUN
aims for
culture shift
By Jacob Solis
Between 2011 and 2013, the
number of liquor violations on the
University of Nevada, Reno, campus more than doubled. In August
of this year alone, 52 citations
or arrests were handed out for
minors in possession/consumption of alcohol while seven have
been given out since the start of
September.
At the same time, the population of undergraduate students
exploded as record numbers of
freshmen entered some of the
largest student populations the
university has ever seen.
For Associated Students of the
University of Nevada Sen. Anthony
Ramirez, the statistics reflect a
broken drinking culture at UNR.
I think the culture isnt at the
same level here as it is at [the
University of California] Davis,
Ramirez said. The drinking is acceptable and they understand that
its going to happen, where here,
its not really talked about.
To address the rise in alcoholrelated incidents, Ramirez and his
fellow senator from the College
of Engineering Alex Crupi are in
the process of authoring a bill
that would increase the amount
of education material available to
students. The bill would establish a
partnership with Student Conduct
and Residential Life, Housing and
Food Services in order to provide
said materials.
Ramirez was inspired to write
the bill after visiting several other
schools that had what he described
as a much more welcoming drinking culture.
There are just some schools that
do a better job of educating their
students, Ramirez said. When all
the senators took a trip down to
Davis, just all around they have a
simple bookmark that says, If you
drink this much in this amount of
time, this is how drunk youll be.
Last year, Ramirez was at the
head of an ASUN effort to create a
tipsy-taxi service to ensure that
inebriated students could make
it home safely and responsibly,
much like the kind that exists at
schools such as UC Davis.
Though the bill did eventually
make it through committee, it was
stalled after university officials
expressed concern over liability
issues.
If the school were to do something like tipsy-taxi, it would just
be a liability, Ramirez said. Lets
say the driver gets in an accident,
the passenger can always sue the
person driving and the university
would get caught up in some sort
of way. Thats how [Vice President
for Student Services] Shannon Ellis told me how the program wasnt
such a good idea.
Ultimately, ASUN was forced to
abandon the tipsy-taxi proposal.
Argenta Hall houses students on Monday, Sept. 14. Argentas rooms accomodate three students a number that is
becoming more common in residence halls across campus.

Young entrepreneurs pave way toward their future

By Marcus Lavergne
Forbes.com claims that although many
business schools have entrepreneuership courses, they are not graduating
successful entrepreneurs.The University
of Nevada, Reno, which has a college on
campus dedicated to producing some
of the finest business professionals on a
state, national and international level, is
a place where these types of techniques
are supposed to be taught. If not at
school, where, how and when do young
entrepreneurs start to build success?
Juniors Matthew Starrett and Daryl
Abuan say that it starts early. Their
company, Sell Your Used iPhones, is an
online platform dedicated to making the
process of selling Apple devices much
easier that they started with CEO and
UNR graduate Eduardo Morales. Starret,
DIARIES OF A DROMEDARY
A4
a double major in finance and economics and vice president of SYUI, says that
it takes dedication and sacrifice to be a
successful entrepreneur.
We have a lot planned, Starrett said.
Were not trying to do it for money; its
for experience. Were college students
and now is the time to do this kind of
thing.
By cutting out the middleman, the
young business owners have taken on the
load of learning every aspect of owning a
business in both the technical and financial areas. When three UNR students are
trying to grow their business by means
like this, it is difficult to understand how
Starrett and Abuan manage to do what
they do while studying full-time at a tierone university.

jsolis@sagebrush.unr.edu
In an unexpected turn of events, College of Science Sen. Colin Wilhelm was

forced to resign last Wednesday.
Wilhelms resignation was forced by
the Associated Students of the University of Nevada Constitution, which
stipulates that any elected official
be enrolled in at least seven credits.
Wilhelm, who was a senior when he
ran last year, is not taking any credits
this year due to what he calls time and
scheduling conflicts.
Id like my constituents to know
where Im coming from, and the reason
behind my resignation, said Wilhelm.
Its circumstance. Im very passionate
about the university, and Im passionate about the College of Science in
general. Ive learned and benefitted so
much from my time here, and I just
want everyone to know that I wish I
wouldve planned things out better.
Sen. Wilhelms letter of resignation

his successor will be appointed in the

Obama administration unveils

new financial aid overhaul
Staff Report
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne
Duncan announced a new, streamlined
Free Application for Federal Student
Aid on Monday during a presidential
stop in Iowa for the presidents Backto-School Bus Tour. The new form removes a bulk of the tax questions and
would be released in October three
months before the old release date of
January. However, students will have
to wait until October 2016 to see any
changes.
Today, were lending a hand to millions of high school students who want
to go to college and whove worked
hard, Duncan said, according to NPR.
Were announcing an easier, earlier
FAFSA.
The Obama administration predicts
this will be a boon to students, especially incoming freshmen who apply to
college in the fall. Under the old FAFSA,
students would often apply to college
in the fall long before any kind of aid
information came in January.
Additionally, the old FAFSA required

parental tax information from the
prior year. The issue here is that many
students, at least 4 million according to NPR, apply for aid before their
parents file taxes. This made it impossible for students and parents to take
advantage of an IRS tool that fills out
most of the FAFSA tax information
automatically.
The new form allows parents and
students to use tax information from
the prior-prior year and would allow students to accurately fill out the
FAFSA only a few months after 2015
tax returns are distributed.
Though the new FAFSA has managed
to improve upon the tax portion of the
form, other, non-tax-related portions
will remain as-is because they would
need to be changed by Congress. In
its FAFSA fact sheet, the White House
noted that many of the most timeconsuming questions on the FAFSA
cannot be completed with IRS data
because they require information that
is not reported on tax returns.
LEGISLATION
The fact sheet continues to say that

students often lack the ability to answer
such questions, many times because
it requires information about assets,
untaxed and other unusual forms of
income from multiple sources.
In light of this, President Obama has
called on Congress to remove some 30
questions that the White House has
called burdensome and unnecessarily complex.
In his announcement of the new
form, Duncan also noted that he
expects hundreds of thousands of new
students to sign up for Pell Grants,
which, unlike loans, do not require
students to pay the government back.
Duncan was quick to assert that the
cost for this would be relatively minor,
amounting to a less than 1 percent
increase of the over $30 billion the
government spends on Pell Grants
every year.
Senate creates new special

committee

In the only piece of legislation to pass

through the senate last Wednesday, the
senate created a special committee on
safety, sustainability and wellness. The
new committee was created jointly by
Sen. Emilia Carro and Sen. Michael
Upton in an effort to improve ASUNs
ability to legislate those policy areas.
Previously, safety, sustainability and
wellness were the purview of the Committee on University Affairs, though in
recent times the committee has been
more focused on broader university
issues.
Whether or not the committee will
become a fully-fledged standing committee remains to be seen, but both
Carro and Upton were confident during deliberations.
The senate approved the committee
unanimously.

Efforts to provide transportation to drunk students have
been picked up by a local

Currently, the Office for

orientation to educate incoming freshmen on drinking
responsibly. During orientation, representatives from
UNR Police Services speak to
freshmen and their parents in
a short seminar.
Other than that, a pamphlet

Growth
BY THE NUMBERS
Although Herzog knows that many needs must

be accommodated, he remains optimistic about the
upswing on campus.
Bigger universities tend to have a certain quality
that is harder to get with smaller universities, Herzog said. Thats simply because as the university
gets bigger it increases its resources, which in turn
are to the benefit of the students.
Herzog pointed out that UNRs national reach is
also becoming bigger. He says that the universitys
growth is not due to an influx of graduating northern
Nevada seniors but rather newly enrolled students
from places in different regions.
We have admitted more students from Clark
County than we have from the local Reno-Carson
area, Herzog said. The students coming from outof-state, particularly from California, their numbers
are pretty much approaching the numbers that we
get locally.
Herzog believes that UNR is becoming more of
a regional university and that its a good thing. The
more national recognition the university achieves,
the more attractive it becomes for students. Herzog
calls it the peer effect.
The universitys growth has forced those working
in the Office of the President to plan accordingly in
order to accommodate both faculty and students
on campus. By doing capacity studies like the one
conducted in 2014, the Office of the President and
President Marc Johnson have potentially prepared
themselves for more campus development. The
study says that as of now the current capacity
certainly exists to absorb the anticipated growth in
student enrollment. This means that plans had to
be set in motion before now in order to counter and
control the rising population numbers.
Also, faculty size is increasing, and building creation and repurposing can be seen across campus.
As reported in the capacity study, the student-tofaculty ratio on campus is around 22:1. President
Johnson has high hopes of reducing this number to
18:1, the national median for other land-grant universities. He is working alongside people like Bruce
Shively, the vice president of Budget, Planning and
Analysis at UNR.
Shively admits that last year, when enrollment
grew over 6 percent, it took the staff by surprise.
He says that the Office of the President was much
more prepared for the smaller, but still significant,
increase this year.
[Growth] was larger than expected by quite a
bit, Shively said. Since that time, weve tracked our
Phone
Starrett says that the team put a lot of

time into developing a platform that is

Projected growth of the student

population at the University of
Nevada, Reno over the next ten years
Marcus Lavergne/Nevada Sagebrush
Students walk to class in front of the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center on Friday, Aug. 28. The 2015 fall
semester has brought the largest student population the University of Nevada, Reno, has ever seen.
enrollment much closer and have developed some

computing capabilities that allows [us] to assess the
need for additional sections, so I think we were in
much better shape this year to accommodate the
growth.
Shively also says that in terms of the key hours that
students attend classes, classrooms are full. He says
that its actually a good thing because it allows the
university to make use of its resources throughout
the day. Although students are getting into classes
and receiving instruction, there is still an increasing
need for faculty and faculty work space.
Shively believes that the need for new faculty
could reach numbers of around 400 in the next five
to six years. That number is large, and Shively made
clear that meeting the need for more staff is imperative to accommodating students learning needs.
Now the growth is larger than we expected,
strenuous majors on any college

campus. A field that involves a heavy
mathematics and science curriculum
with the business of it all mixed in
seems almost overwhelming for one
who does not follow that path. Abuan
says he and his partners sacrifice sleep
in their effort to grow a fruitful business together while also becoming
better entrepreneurs.
Our goal is to expand our entrepreneurship skills, Abuan said. It
Shively said. But were mindful of the experience

that students have. While we have big goals, the
important goal is that students have classes and can
graduate in four years.
Though population size has been increasing at a
much faster rate than anticipated, Shively thinks the
Office of the President staff has planned well enough
to handle the steadily increasing student body.
What were trying to do is manage this growth,
Shively said. If you chat with the deans I think
theyre beginning to see that Yeah, hey, were following through with what we said we were going to
do and were actually doing what we can to maintain
that student experience.
Shively ultimately sees the growth as an exciting
and controllable phase of the universitys development. He claims that through the rising numbers
there is positive metric growth.
doesnt matter what age you are;

theres still an ability to come together,
maybe as friends or colleagues, and
build something special.
Abuan points out that managing
his time is one of the most important
skills needed to be successful in their
business. He also believes that there is
always room for improvement.
We know that we have to model
ourselves off of other great companies
in our area, Abuan said. Were always

Reno Pub and Games sets

new trend in gaming community
By Samantha Johnson
n a cozy corner of a
vacant retail outlet off
Kietzke Lane, Reno Pub
and Games invites adult
gamers to their doors
with hot dogs, beer and
old-style video game
consoles to arouse nostalgia. No
matter what time of day, theres
at least one gamer there, seated
quietly at a television screen or
raging at a game of Mario Kart.
Inspired by a similar venue in
Washington, Joe Pringle and Bill
Ledford, the co-owners of Reno
Pub and Games, described their
experience with gaming pubs as
a successful one.
There was, like, this safe
hangout for geeks and nerds,
Pringle said. [They] could play
Magic: The Gathering without
feeling ashamed or trying to tuck
the cards out of the way when
somebody walks by.
Pringle and Ledford worked
together in a bookstore and came

up with the idea of Reno Pub and
Games after seeing the amount
of gamers that participate in
tournaments and events.
People care about it and they
get rowdy for it, Ledford said.
Theres no place thats a public,
commercial venue that airs the
events, like it was the big football
game.
According to Pringle and
Ledford, the initial process of
finding a spot to open Reno Pub
and Games was a hard one, but
after months of searching for the
perfect venue, they opened in the
former Swensens store lot in July
of 2015. Reno Pub and Games is
one of the first gaming bars in
Reno, according to Pringle and
Ledford, and there arent many
venues like it. It differs from an
arcade because its open until 3
a.m., and arcades are meant for
only minutes of play.

Co-owner of Reno Pub and Games Joe Pringle plays Magic: The Gathering on Thursday, Sept. 10, at the gaming bar. The bar is one of the
only ones of its kind in the Reno-Sparks area.
Its an unreached market here

in Reno as far as bars go or places
for adults to hang out, Pringle
said.
Ledford extends this sentiment,
commenting on the effectiveness
of reaching out to gamers.
The ways that people typically
reach out to gamers dont seem to
be effective, Ledford said. You
go [to pubs] to be there, not just
to consume a product.
Ledford also said that the
model of gaming scenes that
charge by the hour arent realistic
compared to gaming within the
home. The idea behind Reno Pub
and Games is the third space.
Your first space is home, your
second space is your job and your
third space is a place to get away
from the other two, Ledford said.
Theres a big culture for it.
He went on to state that most
of his generation grew up with
video games and consoles like
Nintendo and Atari and that most
of those individuals still play
to this day. He said the average
gamer, according to his research,
is 29 years old.
Theres not something thats
directly catered to them, Ledford said. And its not just video
games; theres so many niches
that arent represented.
Reno Pub and Games has a
library of board games, like Star
Wars Trivial Pursuit, Sorry, Monopoly and more. They also host
Magic: The Gathering games,
Dungeon & Dragons sessions,
as well as Super Smash Bros.
tournaments.
Thats whats cool about the
vaguer nature of our model, Led-

ford said. Its not any specific bar,

its not a Nintendo bar, its not just
a Magic: The Gathering bar its
just a gaming bar.
The majority of the pubs
income is through their food
and drinks, while the games and
consoles provided are mostly
donated. They even have an old
cathode-ray tube television for
the more competitive gamers.
CRTs have .0006 milliseconds
of delay because theres no
video card, Ledford said. So
these guys that play specifically
Smash Bros. the competitive
ones only want to play it on
CRTs because they do things with
an accuracy in the fraction of a
second.
Going into the future, Prin-
gle and Ledford see their pub

expanding to a larger space and
opening up for private occasions
and events like Reno Comic Con
and Blizz Con.
Pringle and Ledford hope to
continue hosting events targeted
toward college students and
older, but they are open to allages events, too.
Whatever your group is, we
will cater to you being here,
Ledford said. Whatever the size
and nature of the group, we will
cater to you and whatever it takes
to make this your spot.

Once a year people from around the
globe gather in Virginia City, Nevada,
to gaze upon the age-old tradition of
racing camels and ostriches through the
desert. If watching non-native animals
gallop, sprint and dart about the Nevadan
landscape werent enough, imagine a
scenario in which both the riders and the
animals are untrained for such an event.
Such is the tradition of the Virginia City
Camel Races. The race was said to have
started 50 years ago when Bob Richards,
the editor of the Territorial Enterprise,
a local paper, ran a story about camel
races in Virginia City that was a little
more than the humorous imaginings of a
reporter/jokester. After the San Francisco
Chronicle mistook the story as truthful
news, Richards began working to make
the event a reality. And it was in that manner that one of the highlights of the end-
of-summer season was born. In addition

to the camel and ostrich racing that the
event is known for, there are also food
vendors, musical entertainment and 100
free camel rides for children attending
the races. The event ran from Friday, Sept.
11, through Sunday, Sept. 13. Sunday
provided free camel rides for 100 children
that attended the event with their family
sponsored by Dolan Auto Group. Visitors
are also encouraged to walk through the
town of Virginia City after their day at
the races. The town is filled with quaint
gift shops, saloons and museums as well
as various historic buildings reminscent
of the times when the city was a booming mining town located on the journey
from Denver, Colorado, to San Francisco,
California

Elections: Rock out with your caucus out

Take advantage of
voting in a swing state
he Democratic National Committee recently announced

that the first Democratic
primary debate will be held
in Nevada on Oct. 13. This announcement may lead some to question: Why
Nevada?
The fact is that regardless of its relatively low population and vast amount
of federally owned land, Nevada is a
politically important state. It is the
third state in the primary process,
electing the presidential candidates
to move on to the general election
after Iowa and New Hampshire. This
position as an early voting state means
that the outcomes of the caucuses
are instrumental in projecting which
candidates will eventually win their
partys nomination.
In addition, the population distribution of the state is such that those of
us in Washoe County can be assured
that our vote does indeed matter.
The millennial generation is one of
the largest potential voting blocs in
the country, yet it is also one that has
been largely overcome with political
apathy and mistrust in recent years.
According to an article published in
the Harvard Political Review, millen-
nials participation in politics has

been on a sharp decline since the 2008
presidential elections, and a 2015 poll
by the Harvard Institute of Politics
found that 49 percent of millennials
have little to no faith in the fairness of
the judicial system.
Despite our generations tendency
to remove ourselves from the political
process we may not even trust, those
of us in Washoe County are in a unique
position. Were in a position where our
really vote matters, and heres why.
WERE ALL SWINGERS HERE

Nevada is a swing state, and Washoe
County is a swing county. This means
that the presidential candidates that
win Nevada have to win Washoe
County in addition to Clark County.
Sorry, White Pine, Elko and friends,
but you dont matter all that much.
Washoe is one of the states two
population centers and as such
has the power to sway the election
outcome of the entire state. In both
the 2008 and 2012 presidential
elections, Barack Obama won Nevada;
Washoe and Clark were the only two
counties in the state to go blue, and
thats all it took to gain Nevadas six
electoral votes.
MINORITY PRIORITIES
According to a project titled The
States of Change: Demographics
and Democracy, a joint project by

the Center for American Progress,
the American Enterprise Institute
and a demographer of the Brookings
Institute, the demographics of Nevada
are changing such that by 2019 it
will become a majority-minority
state one in which racial and ethnic
minority groups constitute more than
50 percent of the states population.
If you are an ethnic minority living
in Nevada, this election is the opportune time to vote for the candidate
that you feel best represents your
interests. Before the term for the 45th
president is up, your needs will be
the needs of the majority in Nevada.
But theres no guarantee that those
needs will be addressed unless you
act to make your voice heard by those
who are responsible for shaping the
nations public policy.
Whether you care about raising the
minimum wage, enacting criminal
justice or immigration reform, or
ensuring you have access to health
care, your participation in the political
process goes a long way in making
these changes happen.
NOT CHOOSING A SIDE

MEANS CHOOSING THE SIDE
OF THE OPPRESSOR
This goes out to those of you who
thought it was a good idea to be conscientious objectors of the two-party
Have meaningful conversations
hen was the last time you had a good

conversation?
A time where you felt rattled to the
core with sheer emotion due to what
you just spoke about. A time that you conversed
with another person and left feeling closer than ever
to them. A conversation that left an imprint on your
heart or caused you to question everything you once
believed in.
It appears now, more often
than not, we submerge ourselves
in technology, seclude ourselves
from meaningful social interactions and simply get lost in the
absolute madness of life. Whether
we are hiding behind phone
screens, lazing the day away
watching the latest episode of
House of Cards, or skipping
Ali
out on family dinners to get
Schultz
work done, we must question if
Schultz Happens we are participating in enough
meaningful conversations.
We must take the time to remind ourselves the
importance and impact these substantial conversations can have on our lives.
Lets vow to not forget the immense power that
lies within the gift of conversation and the opportunity conversation gives us to express ourselves, no
matter what the topic.
Conversation can unravel a person until you strike
their core. It presents the opportunity to unveil raw
emotion and could potentially drive you closer or
further from a destination, ideal state of mind or
even another person.
As I grow older, I, too, have begun to realize as
time progresses, lives grow busier and the drive to
cultivate meaningful conversations becomes more
sparse.
Fortunately, growing up, I was gifted with two
gracious parents that preached the importance
and power of conversation. My brother and I were
taught not to bring our cellphones to the dinner
table or have the TV on when one of us shared about
their day.
My parents nurtured our intellectual growth and

encouraged us to keep open minds about all things
in life. And in doing so, they provided us with some
of the best dinnertime conversations any family
could ask for.
But more importantly, what my parents probably
did not realize at the time was the subliminal
lessons they were instilling in my brother and I to
cherish the people in our lives, be present and leave
impressions on those around us by engaging in
conversations.
Take the time to differentiate between substance
and shallow thoughts. Step outside your comfort
zone. Talk about politics, religion, feelings. Take a
leap of faith with people you barely know. Keep an
open mind when sharing with strangers. Take into
consideration the diverse backgrounds of the people
around you.
Sometimes we forget lifes most important
moments start with conversations. Somewhere
between laughs and late-night conversations we fall
in love. Conversations turn strangers into friends.
Conversation sparks acceptance and social progress.
It brings upon change and creation. Without
meaningful conversation life would be bleak at best.
Dont rush when speaking to others. Absorb what
they have to say. Try to never fear confrontation.
Dont steer away from controversial topics; seek
diverse views. Small-minded individuals talk about
small-minded things. Be different and be bold when
it comes to topics of conversation.
So stop using filler conversation. No one wants to
talk about the weather. Speak up during awkward
silences. Be proactive and learn to enjoy human
interaction. Dont hide behind technology and
clear parts of your busy day to talk about things, no
matter what the topic.
Revel in engaging conversations and cherish the
words and thoughts of both yourself and others.
And now, ask yourself, when was the last time you
had a meaningful conversation?

system. The Washoe County Registrar

of Voters reports that there are 42,206
nonpartisan voters in Washoe County.
Thats 42,206 people who cant caucus
for the candidate of their choice.
Nevada has a closed caucus, which
means that if you want to support a
Democratic candidate you have to be
a registered Democrat; if you want
to support a Republican, you have to
be a registered Republican. And pro
tip: If youre one of the 10,915 people
who registered with the Independent
American Party, youre not actually
independent youre affiliated with
an ultra-conservative political party
that doesnt have any candidates in
the 2016 race. If thats where you want
your allegiance, thats fine, but you
still cant caucus unless you re-register.
Fortunately, you can change your
party affiliation up to and on the day
of the caucus.
SO HOW DO WE DO THE
THING?
With all this talk of caucusing, its
time we address what the hell a caucus
actually is.
If you played the game red rover as a
child, youre halfway to understanding
the caucus on the precinct level.
Unlike a primary election in which
you fill out your ballot and leave, a
caucus counts your physical presence
as your vote. The Nevada caucuses
will be held on Feb. 20 for Democrats

and Feb. 23 for Republicans. On
these dates, participants gather at
a public venue determined by their
residential precinct, and are separated
into groups according to whom they
support.
A head count is done, and the
candidates who dont have enough
supporters to be viable (according
to caucus math) are eliminated.
Participants who supported those
candidates are then essentially up
for grabs; the teams representing the
viable candidates have an allotted
amount of time to convince as many
nonaligned caucusers as they can to
join their group, adding more support
for their candidate.
CONFUSED YET?
Dont worry. There are plenty
of resources available to help you
understand the process. For a more
detailed explanation, head to nevadacaucus.com. If you want to participate
in a real-life caucus practice, the
Associated Students of the University
of Nevada are hosting a mock caucus
(or mockus) on Monday, Oct. 26,
from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Dont waste your time and money

charming random girls with alcohol
ts such a waste of money for boys,

like their [girls] not gonna kiss you,
they just want your alcohol.
This was sent to me by a female
friend of mine in a casual conversation the other
day. I shared my thoughts about the female-male
stigmas of the party life. She confidently agreed
with me on my philosophy of the nightlife.
Most of the time, buying random girls drinks
is a bigger waste of money
than Hellen Keller buying
an expensive pair of reading
glasses. Only a minute
number of times men will
get a pity kiss or a number
(probably with no returned
text). And for the few that are
successful, congrats. For those
few of you, dont forget to
JP
follow up at the health clinic,
Cadena
if you catch my drift.
I have literally been a victim
to this logic beautiful women use. Once I had a
girl point to me and say, Lets go talk to him, he
looks like he will buy us drinks.
I have witnessed dozens of my friends fall
victim to these she-devil tactics. I have watched
as some of my closest friends spit game at girls,
buy a few drinks and maybe get one of those
petty kisses. But brothers, what you dont realize
is youre getting played used even. Youre not
getting lucky; youre getting more used than your
buddies communal Netflix accounts.
I have even had fellow girlfriends try and repay
me for these injustices! Some of my closest lady
friends prey on the bar scenes nice guys to get
me drinks. Dont get me wrong, ladies. I love a
good whiskey Coke at no cost just as much as
the next guy, but I couldnt take advantage of a
brother like that. It could have been me!
You see, buying a random girl a drink at the
bar is like being one of the guys who rebounds
for NBA players before the game starts. You are
on the court for warmups. Maybe take a few

free throws. Even dribble the ball around a little.
Then its game time. You go and warm the bench.
The players are done using you for their benefit
and move on to their main focus of the night:
their scheduled opponent.
Come on, man. What girl is going be at a
bar who is either not with a group or meeting
someone? Just because you say a couple of sly
lines and buy her a drink or two doesnt mean
shes going to go home with you that night. So
stop trying.
Buying a woman a drink just to hook up with
them is the biggest mistake guys can make. Show
them what you have to offer besides money.
Women dont respect you if all you have to offer
is free drinks. These are wise words from my
best friend, David Ferris. Men should realize the
truth in them.
There are two things that a lot of women
really appreciate: respectful gentlemen and a
good chase. Respectful gentlemen beat vodka
Redbulls any day.
As far as the good chase part goes, easily the
most attention I get from girls is when they ask
me to buy them a drink and I laugh and respond
with a hard no. Once you reject them, odds are
they care more about getting you than the free
drink now.
For the record I am not saying dont buy
any girl a drink. But I do advise against buying
random girls drinks.
To men that have fallen into the trap of
buying random girls drinks: If it didnt work
out, my heart goes out to you. To the successful,
congrats.
Any woman offended by this article please
contact me and I will buy you a drink.
Good luck, boys.

OPINION | A7
Why Im not feeling the Bern

By Chaz Fernandez
opulism is and always has

been a staple of American
democracy. Whether it is
liberal or conservative, it is a
natural element in a democratic system
and it assures that those in power are
held responsible to their electorates.
That being said, populism is not always
a good thing, and it can manifest itself
in ways that are contrary to the core
values the American political system
prides itself on such as liberty, selfgovernment, individualism and unity.
EXHIBIT A: BERNIE SANDERS

Bernie Sanders is far from the only
populist on the current presidential
campaign trail. The likes of Ted Cruz
and Donald Trump share his devoted,
grassroots bases. However, he is the
only well-known populist candidate on
the left and appears to be the primary
populist hero for young, particularly
college-aged, Americans. Thats why I
feel it necessary to single out Sanders.
His appearance here on campus
drew thousands of supporters last
month, so I feel that a critical analysis
of his candidacy is much needed.
Sanders is, in many ways, similar to
Donald Trump. Both of their supporters are enthusiastic and have a strong
distaste for the establishments of their
respective parties. Both of these men
are in many ways radicals; unafraid to
propose unconventional solutions and
policies. Sanders eccentrically plans
on getting rid of Citizens United, while
Republican front runner Trump wants
Mexican citizens to pay for a wall that
would keep them out of the United
States.
This in and of itself ought not to
be an issue; after all, its often the
unorthodox who are the originators of
progress.
However, where it becomes a drastic
problem is the way in which it attracts
support. Those who follow Trump and
Sanders are not particularly concerned
with the details of the policies that
either man offers, nor are they
concerned with the realistic obstacles
that go hand in hand with idealistic
proposals (think build a wall or free
college tuition).
Populist supporters only see the
person. They love what their candidate
represents and the revolutionary,
rebellious aura their candidate exudes.
Unlike the supporters of other establishment candidates(e.g. Clinton or
Illustration by Leona Novio/Nevada Sagebrush
Bush) they are convinced that their

candidates are saviors. And in an
effort to destroy the status quo, they
unfortunately fell victim to implausible
fantasies.
This is the moment when populism
goes from being a healthy aspect of
American democracy to an enabler of

emotional politics and demagoguery.
Instead of provisioning the
American public with political power,
this sort of populism secures influence
to the loudest and the angriest. When
voters attach themselves to a single
candidate who is to them infallible,

they lose sight of what it really means
to live in a democracy.
Because in a democracy, it is the
people who hold power. And power
cannot be wielded without a minimum
of skepticism of any man or woman
Parking on campus: the real-life

nightmare on Virginia Street
Illustration by Leona Novio/

Nevada Sagebrush
average college students budget,

one would think parking would
be the easy part. Keep dreaming
kids.
The student population is at
a record high creeping up to
almost 21,000 students. Most of
these students are commuters
which entails an influx of
students driving to school. With
more students enrolling every
year you would think parking
options would increase.
And as romantic as riding a
bike or strolling to class sounds,
its not a feasible option for
many students who live in
the outer reaches of the Reno
community. Not to mention
that Renos cyclists are almost
constantly campaigning for
more bike lanes, and continually
find themselves being ignored by
the larger part of the community.
And public transit is a whole
new battle. Reno public
transportation might as
well be nonexistent, as the
bus schedule is alarmingly
complicated.
Although university
students have options for
some alternative methods of
transportation, such as taking
the public bus or riding their
bike, these options are much
more inconvenient than just
being able to park on campus.
These alternatives consume
more time and planning than
just being able to drive to school.
It seems every single year on
campus parking becomes more
and more impossible. I mean,
what college student has $400 to
drop on a parking pass? Certainly not myself and countless
other students at the university.
Last time I checked were already
paying tuition, gas, groceries and
utilities.
But what is even more concerning than the outrageously
expensive privilege to park, is the
level of difficulty it takes to even
find convenient parking. The
cost of a parking pass no longer
guarantees that you will even
have a place to park anymore.
A freshman class bigger
than any prior arrives every
fall semester without fail, and
construction is beginning to
seem like a personality trait to

the campus. As awesome as it is
to become a part of a growing
school, with this change, parking
seems like the first thing to be
put on the back burner and it has
to stop.
In addition, the construction
of the new fitness center also
really furthers the difficulty in
parking at the university. Before
the metered lot was leveled, I
was able to donate a few coins to
a meter when I was running late
to class or meeting someone in
the Joe. With the destruction of
one of the three metered lots, it is
becoming more burdensome to
find convenient parking. Now if I
want to find a meter during any
busy campus event I feel like I
have to camp out next to one.
So, what are the options
here? The most obvious is to
build parking garages on top
of the existing parking lots. A
five-story garage could multiply
the existing spaces by five at
least. One could argue that I have
absolutely no idea about what
Nevadas contracts, limitations
and budget are like, and I dont.
All I know is that every morning
I dread my commute to school. I
do believe that with the amount
of money our school uses to fund
other departments, it should be
able to come up with a better
solution for this parking horror
students endure.
While my drive to school is less
than 10 minutes and involves
only one short school zone, its
without a doubt the worst part of
my day, and I owe that all to the
lack of parking on campus.
Whether or not a student can
commute and arrive to class
with ease is the essential part of
what makes a college campus
successful, and if the parking is
so limited that many students
dread driving to campus,
something needs to change. For
the love of your students and
reputation, put an end to this
horrible nightmare on Virginia
Street.

MISTAKES
Nevadas compilation of blunders started shortly after its first
offensive drive ended in a three and out. The fourth down snap
sailed over the head of Nevada punter Alex Boy, who was able
to corral the loose ball and manage a negative 13-yard punt out
of bounds. Arizona went on to score two touchdowns in just
under 2.5 minutes following the botched punt.
Nevada compiled nine penalties for 105 yards,
two of which were unsportsmanlike penalties on
head coach Brian Polian. The first unsportsmanlike
penalty was given when coach Polian left the coachs
box to argue an illegal formation that negated a Nevada
touchdown in the first quarter. Polian said in the postgame news conference that he illustrated the play design
in front of the referees before the game started and made
sure that the formation was legal. The referees penalized
Nevada regardless, and the Wolf Pack was forced to settle
for a field goal.
Polian received his second unsportsmanlike penalty in the
fourth quarter after complaining about a late hit on a kickoff
return. Polian has earned a reputation for having a short
fuse in his three years at Nevada, which he acknowledged
postgame.
I am incredibly passionate about this job. I am incredibly passionate about our young people, Polian said. I
dont apologize for my passion; I dont apologize for my
energy. Ive got to do a better job of focusing it.

DEFENSE TORCHED
Nevadas defense was totally incapable of containing
Arizonas high-octane spread offense, led by running back
Nick Wilson. Wilson rushed 21 times for 194 yards and three
touchdowns, boasting a 9.2-yard-per-carry average. Nevadas
defensive line came into the game as the Wolf Packs most
talented group, but they still failed to contain Arizonas running
game.
Arizona quarterback Anu Solomon was able to pick apart
the Nevada defense, completing 73 percent of his passes for
264 yards and two touchdowns. Arizona receiver Cayleb Jones
hauled in six catches for 103 yards as the Arizona wideouts
toyed with the Nevada secondary for the duration of the
game. The secondary group was a big question coming into
this season and their youth was exposed on Saturday. Coach
Polian said postgame that he anticipated a tough game for his
secondary.
Defensively, we didnt tackle well enough, Polian said. Our
young defensive backfield got exposed at times, which to be
quite honest with you was a fear of mine going into the game.

OFFENSE UNABLE TO FIND CONSISTENCY
THIS WEEKS GAME
Nevadas offense depends heavily on the running game in

order to move the ball with consistency. Unfortunately for
the Wolf Pack, their rushers were unable to break through the
Arizona front seven, which crowded the defensive line most of
the night. Don Jackson finished the night with 24 carries for just
91 yards and no touchdowns. James Butler also had minimal
success with just 33 yards rushing.
Because of Arizonas strategy to load the box, Tyler Stewart
had opportunities for big plays but was unable to crack the
Arizona secondary. Their greatest opportunity came late in the
second quarter when Stewart lofted a deep pass to freshman
Victor Gonzalez but Gonzalez dropped the ball in the end zone.
If Gonzalez were able to make the catch, Arizona would have led
21-17 going into the half. Stewart finished the game 18-32 with
159 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.

DID HEAD COACH BRIAN POLIAN CROSS THE LINE WITH HIS BEHAVIOR AGAINST ARIZONA?
I am all for passion, but Polian overdid it with the
two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties against
the Wildcats. Refs blow calls sometimes and thats
the way it is. Yelling and getting flags thrown against
you is totally pointless, and it costs the team. I know
Arizona blew out Nevada, but what if it was a close
game? Maybe we should be grateful this happened in
a game that didnt matter, but I hope Polian figures it
out against Texas A&M.

THE WEEKLY DEBATE
Jack
Rieger
Neil, Coach Polian and I share something special: short

mans syndrome. As a 5-foot-8 man (in shoes) I can
empathize with Polians passionate complex; its embedded
in our genetics. Did you know the average height of a CEO in
the United States is 6 feet? The height of an average man:
5-foot-9. That means us short guys have over three inches
of height to compensate for. While most choose lifted
trucks or Axe body spray, Polian and I favor expressing our
emotions by yelling and apologize to no one.

Dick Blake sets your

fantasy lineup for week two
LAST WEEK IN REVIEW:
Last weeks results for my picks werent exactly ideal, but they were exciting nonetheless.
My Stud of the week in Detroit receiver Golden
Tate was quiet. My Dud of
the week Jamaal Charles
was slowed, only rushing
for 57 yards. He did catch a
short touchdown from Alex
Smith, who had a career
day. I picked the wrong
rookie in my gutsy player of
the week. Tennessee Titans
quarterback Marcus Mariota
Dick
had the memorable debut
Blake
that I predicted for Jameis
Dicks Picks
Winston, going 13-16 for 209
yards and 4 TDs (tying the
record for most TDs in a quarterbacks debut).
This week well do better.
STUD:
WR Brandin Cooks: After rookie Marcus
Mariota picked the Buccaneers secondary
apart, I look for Drew Brees to do even better
against them in week two. While the Saints like
to run screen plays to their plethora of running
backs, they also like to take shots deep. Cooks
was quiet against a talented Cardinals secondary holding him to four catches and 49 yards in
week one. I look for Cooks to come through and
have a big game in week one.
Prediction: Five catches, 107 yards, two TDs,
15 rushing yards
DUD:
WR Alshon Jeffery: After a decent week one
(5 catches, 78 yards) Jeffery remains Chicagos
number one target and a top fantasy receiver.
However, this week doesnt look good for Jeffery
as he goes against a tough Arizona secondary.
I still dont trust Jay Cutler, and I see Jeffery
struggling mightily in week two with Cardinals
corner Patrick Peterson locking him down.
Prediction: Five catches, 42 yards, zero TDs
GOT GUTS?
Tight end Ladarius Green: I was impressed
with what I saw from Green week one. Rivers
has wide receivers Keenan Allen, Stevie Johnson and Malcolm Floyd all to throw to, so Green
is a gutsy play. However, Rivers looked like he
trusted Green more and more as the game went
on. I look for that to continue, since Antonio
Gates remains sidelined.
Prediction: Four catches, 74 yards, one TD

I think the adjustment to the pistol was

very simple, which is why I think it is so
special, Rowe said. In the shotgun catching the snap is similar, and under center
some of the footwork is similar. I think it
was such an easy transition, which is why
I think it has taken off so well, especially
at the high school level. The snap is easier,
but you get all the same stuff you get with
the shotgun.
To understand the importance of
the pistol for the Nevada program, one
must understand the times in which
Ault invented it. Nevada moved up to
division 1-A in 1992 and the football
team was running the one-back offense.
The Pack had great success throwing the
ball and was among the nations leaders
in passing, but after Ault stepped away
from coaching after the 1995 season, the
football program slipped to mediocrity.
From 1996 to 2003, Nevada went 39-53
and fired two head coaches before Ault
retook the helm in 2004. Ault knew he
had to change something in order to
bring Nevada back.
HOF
teams over the span of 11 years while

hitting 48 career home runs.
The baseball team was led by legendary Nevada Wolf Pack coach Gary Powers, who coached the team from 1983 to
2013. When Powers began his tenure at
Nevada, the Wolf Pack played its home
games seven miles away from campus
and received close to no financial or
moral support from fans or even the
school they played for.
We went from a program that didnt
have a field on campus, Powers said.
I had a part-time assistant coach that
was teaching in school. We didnt have
any money. Three or four years later
they were talking about dropping the
program, then Bill Peccole stepped up
and they made a decision to give us a
chance and not stop the program. A few
years later this team went to a conference championship and validated their
choice to keep us.
The 2015 class also includes Ieesha
Donadelle Cannida, a first team All-Big
West womens basketball player notorious for her rebounding and scoring
ability. Cannida played for the Wolf
Pack from 1994 to 1998 and led Nevada
to a 19-9 overall record in 1997. Kevinn
Pinkney was the other basketball
member of the 2015 Hall of Fame class.
Pinkney was part of an unusually successful run for the mens basketball team
in 2004, when Nevada made it all the
way to the Sweet Sixteen. Pinkney was
I brought out the pistol in the spring of

2005 and there was no film to study and
no one to talk with that could help me,
Ault said. I had just begun to coach again
and I was trying to build and bring back
the program again. It was a calculated risk,
but I wanted to create something that was
ours something that was Nevadas.
Both Rowe and the assistant coaches
were apprehensive as they began to work
with the new offense that spring, but
Ault made the pistol work for Nevada.
The Pack went 9-3 in the pistols debut
season and won the WAC championship.
Senior running back B.J. Mitchell ran for
1,399 yards and 12 touchdowns and won
the conference player of the year award.
Rowe ended up being a fifth-round pick

Texas A&M is 2-0 with wins over
a ranked Arizona State and an
outmatched Ball State team. The
Aggies have earned 928 yards in total
offense and have the ability to break
a game open. No opponent (including Arizona) can exploit Nevadas
weaknesses like the Aggies can. The
question I raise is this: Nevada, can
you be perfect? If the Pack wants to
pull the upset they will have to be just
that.

TEN YEARS LATER:

The pistol is still firing
By Neil Patrick Healy
en years ago in the spring of 2005, Nevada

junior quarterback Jeff Rowe (2002-2006)
and junior center Jimmy Wadhams
(2002-2006) were alone in the locker
room. The two were talking and throwing around
a towel wrapped with duct tape when Hall of Fame
head football coach Chris Ault walked in. Rowe and
Wadhams didnt know it at the time, but they were
about to change Nevadas program forever and
revolutionize the entire football landscape.
Coach came in and he told me to line up three and
a half yards behind Jimmy, Rowe said. Im thinking to myself, OK? What are we doing here? and he
handed Jimmy the towel wrapped in duct tape and
told him to snap it to me. It was a perfect snap and
Ault goes, Great! Now let me find a football! We had
four perfect snaps in a row and Ault yelled, Thats
it! Were doing it! and he ran out of the locker room
while Jimmy and I stood there wondering what we
were doing.
What they were doing was something Ault con-
cocted in the depths of his mind the pistol offense.

Many football fans know the pistol because of former
Nevada quarterback Colin Kaepernick (2007-2012)
and his success in college and early in his NFL career,
but the offense has taken the football world by storm.
From Pop Warner to the NFL, the pistol has changed
how coaches approach offenses. To appreciate the
pistols impact, it is important to know why an offense
that started in a University of Nevada locker room is
so effective and why its different from other offenses.
The pistol is a combination of the single-back
and the shotgun offense. Unlike the shotgun where
the quarterback lines up around five to seven yards
behind the center, the quarterback lines up only
four yards behind the center. The running back lines
up around two and a half or three yards behind the
quarterback. According to Ault, these small variations were more effective for what he wanted to do in
terms of establishing the run.
The main reason I created the pistol is to be
able to run the ball downhill and have the running
back running north and south rather than east and
west, Ault said. I wanted to keep the features of the
THE BIGGEST QUESTION
one-back offense that were so good for us because

we were such a potent offense. I never wanted to
move the running back, and I had him seven yards
from the ball and two and a half yards behind the
quarterback.
The running back lining up behind the quarterback
is the pistols main feature, and it opens up more options in the running game.
The biggest difference in the pistol is that the
running back lines up directly behind the quarterback, said former Nevada quarterback Cody Fajardo
(20011-2014). The biggest pro to this is the fact that
the running back can actually run right and left as
opposed to the original shotgun when the running
back aligns on one side and he can only run the ball
one way. The back lined up behind the quarterback
keeps defenses on their toes.
When it comes to the pistol, the ingenuity is in its
simplicity and how easy it is to adapt to. Rowe, who
was the pistols first ever signal caller, had no trouble
picking up the brand new offense.
See PISTOL page A9
BEST-CASE SCENARIO
Nevadas offense establishes the run
early with senior running back Don
Jackson and the Pack putting together
scoring drives early in the game to
pick up some momentum. On defense,
the front seven can put on enough
pressure to force the Aggies young
signal callers into making mistakes,
giving the offense more opportunities
to score.
WORST-CASE SCENARIO
PREDICTION
By Jack Rieger
See HOF page A9
Can Nevadas offense consistently

put together drives and get the ball
in the end zone? The Aggies are going
to put up points in bunches against
the Packs young secondary, so the
task of staying in the game falls to the
offense. A&M rolled over Ball State
last Saturday 56-23 but gave up 240
rushing yards in the process. If Nevada
can exploit this possible chink in
A&Ms armor, then the Pack can maybe
make this a game.
The Nevada defense just gets worked

against a superior SEC opponent and
the issues in the secondary become
much more glaring. On offense,
Nevada cant establish good run blocking along the offensive line and junior
quarterback Tyler Stewart is forced to
make plays in the passing game. The
pressure on Stewart will cause him to
commit turnovers and the Aggies run
away with the game early.
Meet the 2015

Nevada Hall of
Fame class
The University of Nevada inducted five standout
athletes, as well as the 1994 baseball team, into the
2015 Nevada Athletics Hall of Fame class this past
Friday. The new Hall of Fame class was honored at
the Reno Ballrooms on Friday as well as at halftime
of the football game against the University of Arizona on Saturday.
The 1994 Wolf Pack baseball team won the Big
West Conference with a 16-5 league record and
made the schools first NCAA regional tournament.
That team included shortstop Mark Lewis, who
played for six different Major League Baseball
While Nevadas front seven didnt

live up to the hype this week, the one
bright spot was senior defensive end
Lenny Jones. Jones had four tackles, a
sack and a huge fumble recovery late
in the second quarter, resulting in a
late field goal that cut Arizonas lead
to eight points going into halftime.
Facing Texas A&M, a program that is
known for producing NFL offensive
linemen, will be a huge challenge
for Nevada, but Jones has the ability
to put pressure on the quarterback.
The Aggies are still in the middle of
a quarterback competition between
sophomore Kyle Allen and freshman
Kyler Murry, so Jones and the rest of
the Nevada front seven can bring pressure and force the young quarterbacks
into making mistakes.

Former Nevada baseball coach Gary Powers (center), along with the rest of the 2015 Hall of Fame class,
is honored by President Marc Johnson (left) and Athletic Director Doug Knuth (right) during halftime
against the Univeristy of Arizona. Powers coached at Nevada from 1983 until 2013 and helped build the
Wolf Pack baseball team into a conference champion.
If the Arizona game was any indication of how Nevada plays against a
ranked opponent, then its going to be
a long day in Texas. Nevadas offense
wont be able to score consistently
and Nevadas defense wont be able
to contain the Aggie passing game.
Not only do I expect Nevada to lose, I
expect them to lose big and fall to 1-2
on the season. Bring some chill pills
this time, Polian, because Saturday is
going to be rough.
