Former Russian anti-doping chief
passes amidst Russian doping
scandal
According to a statement released
by a Rusada spokeswoman, the former
chief died from what is being called a
massive heart attack on Sunday, Feb.
14.
Nikita Kamayev retired just two
months ago as the acting chief of the
Russian Anti-Doping Agency or Rusada, after allegations of widespread,
state-sponsored cheating among pro
athletes surfaced.
Ramil Khabriev, the former general
director for the agency, told TASS Russian news agency that Kamayev, 52,
was complaining about chest pains
after cross-country skiing.
Rusada saw the organizations
leaders resign in 2015 after a report
produced by the World Anti-Doping
Agency revealed cheating and corruption on a national level along with
the cooperation of state officials. It
revealed cover-ups and the close
interaction between Russian government agencies and testing labs where
samples were destroyed.
Kamayevs death came just two
weeks after the death of Vyacheslav
Sinev, Rusadas general director from
2008 to 2010. The causes of his death
are still unknown.
NATIONAL
Oregon State Representative faces

backlash after Oregon standoff
shooting
Oregon Rep. Jeff Barker added an
amendment to H.B. 4087 last week
that would allow officials to withhold
the name of an officer involved in the
death of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupier Robert LaVoy Finicum.
Finicum was shot and killed in a
clash with FBI agents on Jan. 26 at a
roadblock. The Oregon State Police
officials requested that Barker issue
the amendment after receiving death
threats against the officer in question.
Under the amendment, courts could
withhold the names of officers who use
deadly force in the event of a credible
threat of danger for up to 90 days. This
sparked criticism over social media by
groups like Oregon Wide Open, which
told its Facebook followers to contact
their state legislators in opposition of
the bill.
The fate of the bill is expected to be
revealed during Oregons shortened
2016 legislative session that began on
Feb. 1 and lasts until March 5.

Nevada courts to speed up
decision on education savings
account
Nevadas new school choice law is
expected to be under scrutiny by the
state Supreme Court by mid-April due
to a motion to accelerate decisionmaking.
State Treasurer Dan Schwartz
sought the action, which is set to
shave about three months off the
process. This comes after his office
appealed an injunction issued by Carson City District Judge James Wilson.
Wilson sided with a small group
of parents who argued that the
implementation of the Education
Savings Account Program could
hinder their childrens public school
education. Parents that apply to the
program would be able to use more
than $5,000 in funds to send kids to
private schools or other educational
institutions.
Schwartzs office is accepting applications for the ESA throughout the
appeal process up until March 31.
applications will not be processed,
however, until a decision is reached to
lift the injunction.

Candidates descend on campus

with caucus only days away
By Jacob Solis
With Nevadas third-in-the-nation
Democratic caucus is less than a week
away, the two Democratic candidates
left in the race, former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie
Sanders, have stepped up their efforts to
sway Battle Born voters. That includes
campaigning on the campus of the
University of Nevada, Reno, which saw
both Democratic candidates and even
the president of Planned Parenthood,
Cecile Richards, visiting within the past
week in the name of the campaign.
These visits come at a time where the
Democratic race in Nevada is as close as
ever. The only recent poll taken in the
state, conducted by the marketing research firm TargetPoint, shows Clinton
and Sanders locked in a dead heat with
45 percent of the vote apiece. Its a dramatic reversal of fortune for the Clinton
campaign, which had held a more than

20 percent lead before the new year.
On Wednesday, Planned Parenthood
President Cecile Richards stopped by
the Joe Crowley Student Union to talk
to the Nevada Students for Hillary club
about womens health, and more specifically, why the Planned Parenthood
Action Fund decided to endorse Clinton
just one month ago.
There was one candidate that stood
head and shoulders above everyone
else, and that was Hillary Clinton,
Richards said.
The Planned Parenthood Action Fund
acts as the public policy and advocacy
arm of the organization, and as a result
has found itself in the thick of this years
presidential contest. Even so, it waited
until January to throw its endorsement
behind Clinton, though this is the first
primary endorsement the action fund
has ever given out.
Students vie for

the youth vote
By Kayla Carr
In a press release, Planned Parenthood took to the attack, calling the

Republican vision for women one stuck
in the 1950s. However, where the statement attacked Republicans, it made no
mention of Bernie Sanders, who has
quickly gained ground since his narrow
victory in Iowa and massive victory in
New Hampshire.
Acknowledging Sanders at the
roundtable, Richards said that while he
may have supported womens issues on
paper, he hasnt done so to the degree
that Clinton has.
Bernie Sanders, who I know has a
lot of supporters, has a very good voting record, Richards said. Hes made
statements about where he stands on
these issues. The difference with Hillary
Clinton is that shes actually been on the
front line fighting for these issues.
All over Nevada, there are signs of presidential campaigns working to win over
voters before the fast approaching Nevada
caucuses. Some students at the University
of Nevada, Reno, have embraced the caucus craziness and are working to get their
peers politically engaged.
The Young Democrats is a club at UNR
that is not endorsing a specific candidate
but is focused on educating potential
voters. Even though the club was lacking
focused enthusiasm last year, it is resurfacing and reigniting with the imminent
2016 presidential election, according to
the organizations president, Kyle Sharp.
The past three or four years, weve
been trying to make it something, and
all of the people who took leadership
on it did nothing with it, and ... I decided I wanted to do something with
it, Sharp said.

COMPROMISE NOT POLARIZE
Barren, fruitless, desolate these

are words that one could use to describe a world without pollination.
The fact is that many plants dont have
the ability to produce fruits and seeds
without the help of several types of
animals and insects that spread pollen intentionally or accidently.
In a world where one of Earths
main pollinator populations, bees, is
in decline, people may be looking at
a future of growing scarcity for some
of their favorite foods and beverages,
including apples, coffee and chocolate.
Pollination means reproduction for
plants. Its the interaction between
the sex organs of flowers where pollen travels from the male part, or
stamen, to the female part, or pistil,
and fertilizes it. The process leads to
more flowers, seeds and fruits.
A7
Although some plants can rely

solely on natural forces like wind to
help them reproduce, over 75 percent
of angiosperms, or plants that produce flowers, need help from animals
and insects. Thats according to the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which
credits habitat loss and pesticides for
some of the decline.
With that being said, there is not
a huge danger of all crops or even a
majority dying out around the planet,
but thats not the largest issue at hand
either.
According to the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences publication ScienceMag.org,
a recent study showed that regions
with a high prevalence of nutritional
deficiencies overlapped with regions
most dependent on pollinators for
delivering the same nutrients.

Caucus
Continued from page A1
The club held its first meeting Sunday, Feb.

14, and is planning many interactive events.
Right now, it is focused on educating voters
about the upcoming election. Sharp explains
what is at stake for him in the 2016 presidential election.
Everything that President Obama did
could be undone if Ted Cruz gets elected,
so we need to mobilize as many voters, as
many Democratic voters, as possible to
make sure that we can win the election and
keep that progress going, Sharp said.
In order to prepare students for the caucus, Young Democrats held a mock caucus
last Thursday, Feb. 9, which was open to all
students. The group will host the Feb. 20
Democratic caucus at UNR for the precincts
surrounding the campus. Additionally, the
organization is training people how to be
precinct chairs who help lead individual
caucuses.
Alongside the Democratic Party of Washoe
County, the Young Democrats has been
registering college and high school students
to vote.
My sole goal isnt just to get Democratic
voters excited, Sharp said. Its to get all voters excited because ... Nevadas last election
cycle had a terrible turnout and I just want to
change that.
Organizing Wolf Pack Smart Talks is yet
another project on Sharps agenda intended
to get students interested in the political process. At Friday Fest, Young Democrats asked
students to tell them what issues matter to
them. Sharp intends to start Wolf Pack Smart
Talks on issues like abortion, global warming
and the war on drugs within the month.
Speakers will include professors and local
professionals, and the talks will conclude
with an open forum.
According to Sharp, Young Democrats will

not endorse a candidate until after the primary elections, but he plans to have as many
candidates as possible at UNR this semester.
Well be bringing in a lot of local candidates, and were obviously gonna do our best
to bring in some national candidates, Sharp
said.
Courtney McKimmey, the president of
Nevada Students for Hillary, started the club
in the fall after casually meeting with other
students during the summer as volunteers
for the Hillary Clinton campaign. The group
makes phone calls in the evenings and
knocks on doors to foster support for Clinton. McKimmey affirms the importance of
her clubs interactions with students, which
give members a chance to discuss how Clinton will affect the lives of their peers.
Were trying to reach out to students who
are still unsure about who they are supporting, said McKimmey. Just having those
one-on-one conversations and facilitating
the discussion about the issues that matter
to us is really how were trying to reach out to
other students.
McKimmeys group answers the many
questions students have about the caucus
process and the candidates. She believes so
much background education is necessary
because many students have not been exposed to the nomination process, since the
last presidential election was four years ago.
[Students] are very excited ... I think once
they learn more, they are even more excited
because they know how to voice that opinion
and how to voice their vote, McKimmey
said.
Nevada Students for Hillary spans the
whole northern Nevada region, encompassing students from UNR, Truckee Meadows
Community College and even high schools
in the area.
Nevada Students for Hillary has a Bernie
Sanders counterpart. Paul Catha founded
a student group affiliated with the Bernie

Sanders campaign as an auxiliary club of
UNRs Young Democrats. Although the
group works closely with the official Sanders
campaign, it is not officially recognized by
the Associated Students of the University of
Nevada as an independent club.
Honestly, because the campaign has
moved in, [the club is] really just Bernie
2016, said Catha.
The group has held debate watch parties
and caucus trainings and also frequently
tables on campus. Catha described the
popularity of the groups table, which greatly
differed from his past tabling experiences.
I think we had buttons and stickers, and
just tons of people, tons of people got them,
and tons of people signed up to volunteer
and come to our events ... it was a wildly
positive reaction, Catha said.
Sanders has relied heavily on the youth
vote in the Iowa caucuses and the New
Hampshire primaries. In Iowa, Sanders beat
Clinton 84 percent to 14 percent among
Democrats ages 17 to 29 and beat Clinton 83
percent to 16 percent among Democrats 18
to 29 years old in New Hampshire, according
to New York Times.
The millennials are a larger voting bloc
than the baby boomers, Catha said. We can
take the election if we wanted,
The Pew Research Center projects that
Millennials will outnumber Boomers in
2016. In Nevada, 17-year-old residents are
eligible to participate in the caucuses, as long
as they will be 18 by the presidential election
in November.
The Nevada Sagebrush reached out to
UNRs College Republicans to learn more
about clubs supporting Republican candidates, but received no response.

LEGISLATION
regardless of primary outcomes.

At the moment, Clinton leads Sanders
in superdelegates 362 to 8, according to
FiveThirtyEight. Its an early delegate lead
that hasnt been seen since George W. Bush
ran in 2000 and presents an obstacle to
Sanders that many of his supporters view as
unfair.
Superdelegates were instituted by the
Democratic National Committee so that
the party establishment might push against
grassroots candidates they disapprove of.
Bernie Sanders appears to be one of those
very candidates, but his current delegate
deficit may not be all that telling. Clinton led
then Sen. Barack Obama by 100 superdelegates in early 2008 only to see that lead
promptly erased as Obama picked up state
after state in the primary.
What is clear, however, is that only the
votes will tell how each candidate is really
doing, and those will have to wait until Saturday.

Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders addresses a crowd during a campaign rally in front
of the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2015. Sanders has gained a
good deal of momentum in the primaries after a closs loss in Iowa and big win in New
Hampshire.
A strong showing in Nevada would be

invaluable to the Sanders campaign, which
has thus far struggled to show Sanders
broad appeal outside the rather narrow
demographics in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Nearly 30 percent of Nevadans are Hispanic
while 9 percent are black, according to the
Census Bureaus estimates for 2015. For
comparison, almost 80 percent of Iowans
and 94 percent of New Hampshire residents
are white.
Outside of the demographic worries, the
polls themselves may bode well for Sanders, who performed to expectations in both
Iowa and New Hampshire. Even so, Sanders
has been lagging in the so-called Invisible Primary, which tallies the number of
endorsements from sitting congressmen
and women in addition to prominent party
leaders.
These people form the body of 712 superdelegates whose votes are unbound in the
Democratic National Convention in July.
This means that, unlike pledged delegates
who are committed by the popular vote to
support one candidate or another, superdelegates can vote for whomever they want
FEB. 10
Heated debate over senator

pay ends with much ado about
nothing
There was plenty of back and
forth on Wednesday evening as
the senate of the Associated Students of the University of Nevada
debated two bills that would
substantially change how ASUN
senators are paid.
At the moment, senators
receive their money at the end of
the semester as a stipend, in one
lump sum. That sum is equal to
the cost of six undergraduate
credits, as per the ASUN constitution. One of the bills proposed
on Wednesday would have more
than doubled that sum from six
credits to 14.
Now, senators can only change
their own pay by legislation if
the student body approves the
raise via a ballot measure. ASUN
senators got that ballot approval
back in 2008, when students
overwhelmingly
passed
the
measure with 73 percent of the
vote. However, even though the
senate has been able to raise its
pay for eight years, each and every
session has declined to do so with
reasons ranging from simple forgetfulness to simply not wanting
to, according to ASUN President
Caden Fabbi.
The other bill on the table that
night would have removed the
stipend altogether, replacing it
with a wage. Thus, instead of
tying senator pay to tuition costs,
it would instead be fixed to whatever Nevadas minimum wage
is. For reference, that number is
currently $8.25 per hour. On top
of this, however, the number of
hours a senator could theoretically be paid for per week would
be capped at 10.
It was this particular provision
that sparked the debate.
The issue at hand for more
than one senator at the table was
that many elected officials within
ASUN work more than one job as
an employee of the university. If
this second measure were to pass,
that would, by amending ASUN
law in the Statutes of the Associated Students, cap a senators
hours across all their university
jobs at 10 hours per week, even if
they work more hours in actuality.
The crux of the debate was
that many elected officials within
ASUN work other jobs on campus. Limiting all these officials
to 10 hours a week would, in the
eyes of some senators, turn away
students from wanting to be a
senator at all. Thus an amendment was proposed that would
have done away with the cap, at
least partially.
However, federal law mandates
that student workers be allowed
to work no more than 25 hours
per week, as studies have shown
an inverse relationship between
grades in school and hours spent
working. This point was made
by Sandy Rodriguez and James
Beattie, director and associate
director for student engagement,
respectively.
On top of that, the argument
was made by Sen. Jacob Boult of
the College of Liberal Arts that being a senator was a public service.
As such, the money was not what
mattered so much as the duty.
With that argument in mind,
the senate voted down both bills.
Campaign
On Monday, Clinton herself came to
UNRs campus with largely the same goal
as Richards. Talking to a closed audience of
over 100 female students and other community members, she focused solely on health
care and womens health. In that vein, she
was quick to attack Republican attempts to
repeal ObamaCare and note that Sanders
stance on health care, creating a singlepayer system, is much easier said than done.
I am dedicated to building on and improving the Affordable Care Act, Clinton
said. My esteemed opponent, we share the
same goal: universal health care coverage.
He wants to move to a single-payer system
which, I can tell you, will never pass the
United States Congress. That will never happen.
Its an overture to women at a time when
the Clinton campaign needs all the help
it can get. Women voters have been a cornerstone of the Clinton campaign since it
started last year, but most of those women
are older over 45. NPR noted that among
millennial women, Sanders leads Clinton by
nearly 20 points.
Despite all that, it hasnt worried Clinton
field organizer Tyler Hendricks, who remains
confident that the campaigns get-out-thevote efforts will prevail.
Were seeing a lot of enthusiasm with
students here, Hendricks said. I think that
there are some differences [with voters]
in other states, but [in Nevada] were positioned to do a lot better and were looking
forward to caucus day.
In the Sanders camp, the focus has been
rooted in pulling out a surprise victory.
At an event dubbed Real Solutions for
Real People, Sanders spoke to a packed
room in the Jot Travis Building about his
traditional stumping material campaign
finance, wealth inequality and the like but
also Nevada-specific issues. Addressing the
current debate over solar energy in Nevada,
Sanders reiterated a stance in favor of renewable energy.
Later that day, Sanders spoke to a larger
crowd of more than 500 campaign volunteers in order to energize their canvassing
efforts. Again, Sanders emphasized the element of surprise.
We surprised them in Iowa, Sanders
said. We surprised them in New Hampshire. We are going to surprise them here in
Nevada.
SENATE RECAP

Bees
Nutritional deficiencies, including a

dietary lack of vitamin A, iron and folate, are more prominent in regions like
Sub-Saharan Africa and destitute parts
of India. In more developed countries
like the U.S., a notable population
decline in one pollinator community
is more likely to shake things up in the
agricultural economy.
From the 1940s to today, the nations
managed bee colonies have decreased
from around 5 million to 2.5 million,
50 percent. At the University of Nevada,
Reno, bee researchers led by Anne
Leonard are working to find solutions
to the growing problem.
Honey bees, a group the U.S. Department of Agriculture calls a critical
link in the countrys agriculture, are
in decline. Its called Colony Collapse
Disorder and the long-term consequences can be devastating. The USDA
says one in three mouthfuls of food is
directly or indirectly benefited by the
honey bee pollination, which is also
responsible for around $15 billion in
yearly increased crop value.
A bees job is more in demand while
the populations numbers are dwindling. One pressing issue for researchers is finding ways to save bees while
maximizing their work potential. That
requires more studying.
After receiving a National Science
Foundation grant to study foraging
behaviors in bees, Leonard and postdoctoral researcher Felicity Muth have
found that bees arent just randomly
flying about collecting nectar and
pollen. Theyre forming generalizations and, essentially, learning more
as they go. Theyre doing what they do
using several brain processes, not just
instinct.
If they visit, say, a blue flower and
theres really good nectar and then
they go to a yellow flower and theres
very bad nectar, the bee quickly learns,
OK, next time I go to choose between
flowers, Im going to go to the flower
that I remember having the really good
nectar, Muth said.
According to Muth, bees can learn
far more than color associations.
Identifying flowers through factors like
odor, texture, electromagnetic fields
and temperature arent beyond a bees
mental capabilities.
Making nectar associations has been
well-studied among bee researchers internationally according to Leonard and
Muth. The next step involves studying
foraging for pollen and the connections
bees make between pollen and different types of flowers. Although theyre
calling the research basic, its leading to
new discoveries in bee behavior.

Bumblebees swarm in and out of their

nest in Anne Leonards Fleischmann
Agriculture lab in September 2015. Lab
research involves tagging each bee with
a number to keep track of its behavior.
Its something thats kind of important in understanding how bees, in

their natural environment, decide to
visit different types of flowers, how they
forage [and] their foraging dynamics,
Muth said. From that kind of stuff
we can make inferences about using
bees in agriculture. Honey bees and
bumblebees are both really important
for a lot of crops that we have.
Bees dont eat pollen directly, which
makes it difficult to determine how
bees decide how to choose flowers during pollen foraging. Muth is finding out
they can still decipher between good
and bad types based on other factors.
Pollen is the sole source of protein for
bees. According to Leonard, findings in
the way bees forage the nutrient could
be key in understanding more about
the decline of bees and human interaction in their natural environment.
Wild bees are declining, Leonard
said. Theyre having many difficulties, and one factor of many factors
is probably as we change the plant
communities available to them, were
changing the nutrition thats available
to them, yet, we dont even know very
much about how they forage for pollen
or how they learn in relation to pollen.
Recently, the bumblebees in Leon-

A bumblebee in Anne Leonards Fleischmann Agriculture lab lands on top of a lab-made flower to collect the pollen placed
there in September 2015. Researchers are working on finding cognitive connections in the ways bees forage for pollen.
ards lab have associated color in

artificial flowers to pollen that theyve
developed expectations toward. In nature, that means bees are using cognitive abilities to identify where and what
type of pollen is available.
The cognitive connection is an important finding for Leonard and Muth.
If current research shows that pesticides disrupt bees abilities to learn
and forage for nectar, theres a good
chance that foraging for pollen is also

being hindered. That can become bad
news for crops that only provide pollen rather than nectar, such as tomato
plants.
According to Leonard, losing bees
can mean horrific consequences, at
least economically. By continuing to
study and understand them more,
scientists are bringing attention to the
insect and its place in Earths ecology.
For a creature that does all of its pollination work for free, scientists and
researchers are asking the public to
watch closely and help out. A consistent decline in bee populations could
mean more than just losing the honey
in that morning cup of tea.

Pow Pow! 2016 b
By Blake Nelson
DATE: Thursday
TIME: 6 p.m.
ince the inception of House

Music in America during the
early 1980s, electronic dance
music has grown, splintered
and rebranded itself into
mainstream culture. Last
weekend on Saturday night,
Reno celebrated modern
EDM at the Reno Events Center with Pow Pow!
2016.
The concert, put on by Renos Fresh Bakin,
featured many big-name DJs from around the
world including Meaux Green, Gent & Jawns
and R3HAB. Most notably, the headliner was
Flosstradamus the DJ duo consisting of
Josh Young, known by his stage name J2K, and
Curt Cameruci, known as Autobot. The two
have been rising in popularity in nightclubs
and festivals around the world since 2005.
The majority of performers at Pow Pow!
are on the record label Mad Decent, which
was founded by acclaimed DJ Diplo in 2005.
The label is known for its large collection of
mostly EDM artists and the quality of material produced. The only acts that performed
that arent on the label are R3HAB and Flux
Pavilion.
Pow Pow! 2016 officially opened the doors
at 7 p.m. to a line already gathered outside of
the venue. After some music in the interim,

SKINWALKERS

SPLIT RELEASE
SHOW
DATE: Thursday
TIME: 8:30 p.m.
LOCATION: The Holland
Project
INFO: Check out local
bands Skinwalkers and
City Wolves, who are
celebrating the release of
their long-awaited split. The
bands have put together
a great collaborative work
that reflects the bands
talents and style. Playing
with pop-punk outfit With
Age, the show is set to be a
murky and dark collection
of sad-boy tunes that will
be loud and exciting. Door
is $5.
the opener, Meaux Green, started his set to a

relatively sparse but excited crowd.
Meaux Green opened the concert wonderfully with song after song of up-tempo house
beats mixed with popular songs. As the songs
moved through bass drops, a growing crowd
was beginning to fill up the large area within
the Events Center.
The sound quality was clear, distinct and
loud. The bass was rattling the seating in the
far back and could be felt in the concessions
area outside of the concert area. An integrated light show was playing along to the sets,
matching the tempo and adding another layer
of spectacle for the concertgoers.
After Meaux Green finished his set, R3HAB
took the booth to the crowds approval. R3HAB
had flown in from Amsterdam the night before,
marking him as a special guest at the event.
R3HAB didnt show any signs of jet lag or fatigue. Immediately climbing onto the DJ table
to greet the growing crowd of young adults,
R3HAB hyped the crowd up even more than
before. After climbing back down, R3HAB ran
through his set, keeping the crowd cheering
and engaged the whole time.
The crowd toward the end of R3HABs set
was increasingly diverse. It consisted of students from the University of Nevada, Reno,
all the way to people in their mid-30s. A large
mass of people was packed in tight with rave
dancers around the periphery.
In between an awkward transition from
THE FOLK & THE

LORE: HOW DID I
GET HERE?
DATE: Saturday
TIME: 6 p.m.
LOCATION: Nevada
R3HABs loud set to Gent & Jawns set, the

crowd settled noticeably. Although the huge
screen on stage read Gent & Jawns, only Billy
the Gent performed. It is unknown if this affected the set, but the crowd was less emphatic
about the performance than the previous one.
Despite less cheering and excitement from
the crowd, Gent still performed with gusto and
some crowd engagement. The songs were less
grand as well, with the drops being placed at
odd intervals, also adding to the crowd's growing disinterest.
It seemed that Joshua Steele, better known
as Flux Pavilion, could sense the crowds
unrest; he jumped in quickly after Gents set,
and tried to hype the crowd. It took a moment
for the crowd to come back from the minor,
but about halfway through Flux Pavilions first
song the crowd was cheering and bouncing to
the beat with a new vigor.
Flux Pavilion exhibited his charisma by having an engaging stage presence and frenetic
energy while mixing the various tracks. He
weaved together samples with loud bass and
the sporadic bursts of synthesizers, all while
hyping the crowd through well-timed shouts
aimed at increasing the enthusiasm.
This was all in preparation for the headliner
Flosstradamus. The Events Center was becoming increasingly packed toward the end of
Flux Pavilions set, with more people wearing
Flosstradamus merchandise arriving all the
while.
When Flux Pavilion ended his set the Events
Center was brimming. It was only seconds
after the set ended when Flosstradamus took
the stage to the crowds exuberant cheers.
J2K climbed onto the DJ table and brandished the duos emblematic flag, waving it
back and forth while Autobot began the song.
Blasts of confetti doused the crowd as the
energy picked up.
The crowd danced all the way through the
set with the most fervor of the night. Flosstradamus played to its strengths in DJing,
giving the crowd what they wanted all the way
throughout the set.
When the set ended, the mass of concertgoers crowded out the exits, seemingly satisfied
by the entire show.
The concert was another success in the
string of concerts that are put on by Fresh Bakin throughout the year. This one satisfied the
large and varied crowd throughout the fourhour running time, proving that Fresh Bakin
knows how to pack a bill to please a crowd.

REVIEW
Virtual reality device Oculus Rift, worth it?

By Krysta Scripter
This coming March boasts the possibility of over 10 different virtual reality
headsets hitting the market, and some are
already available for preorder. Oculus Rift
is one that is set to launch next month.
Oculus, at the forefront of the VR
revolution, started three years ago as a
crowdfunded independent business that
raised over $2 million for the products
initial development. Since then, its
released two development kits, and now
consumer versions are available.
But heres the kicker: theyre really
expensive. Despite Oculus CEO Palmer
Luckys initial promise to keep it in the
$300-400 range, the Oculus Rift currently
costs a whopping $599. In comparison,
both a PlayStation 4 and an Xbox One
currently cost $399.
Not only that, but the hardware requirements needed to run the Rift on a PC are
pretty hefty too, if youre not already a
hardcore PC gamer. Youll need at least
8 gigabytes of RAM, and an NVIDIA GTX
970 graphics card, which currently retails
at a smooth $379.99 at Best Buy.
Thats not counting the other specifications Oculus recommends for the Rift
either. A Rift plus PC bundle runs at just
under $1,500. At this point, you could
have bought four PlaysStation 4 consoles,
Krysta Scripter/Nevada Sagebrush
Joey Lovato tries on the Oculus Rift in the Reynolds School of Journalism to view
his own work from last semesters class with Professor Howard Golbaum on Oct. 1,
2015. The Oculus Rift is used in the Reynolds School of Journalism in Goldbaums
class.
but Oculus argues that the graphic

requirements demand more advanced
technology.
Competitors like the Sony PlayStation
VR have been shown at conferences and
expos, but have yet to be priced. Even
Google showed off its own cost-effective
Google Cardboard, using smartphones

popped into a cardboard viewfinder.
Each start at $23 and $99, respectively.
Howard Goldbaum, director of the Reynolds School Graduate Program at the
University of Nevada, Reno, says this is
why the Rift is so much more expensive.
The difference is, is that the Oculus

[Rift] is a self-contained device, Goldbaum said. All of the other solutions
involve you taking your smartphone and
putting it inside a device.
Goldbaum regularly uses VR tech with
his students in his photography class,
and is working with the Bureau of Land
Management to create a virtual tour for
the American Flat Mill site outside of Virginia City. The mill site was demolished in
2014. Goldbaum has been doing virtual
reality for almost 20 years, working with
film to painstakingly stitch together images in 1997.
While Goldbaum uses VR to create
interactive photographic environments,
he says that Oculus was always intended
for gaming, and that gamers looking for
VR tech are already prepared.
Serious gamers have that hardware,
Goldbaum said. Theyre used to, you
know, playing games and having incredible graphics where they want real ray
tracing effects and real time. So theyve
invested.
Goldbaum was originally surprised by
the initial price for preorders, but hes ordered one for use at the Reynolds School
of Journalism, and he plans on ordering
two more when they become available.
Theres an economy of numbers,
when the production ramps up they
have better contracts with their suppliers

and they can put the device together for
less money, Goldbaum said as a note to
consumers.
Lucky also argued in a series of tweets
that Oculus isnt making any money off
the hardware, and given the technological scale of what Oculus accomplishes,
the price could be much higher.
The argument for the Oculus is the
same with every new technology: is it
worth the cash, or just another gimmick?
Is it worth it to spend hundreds of dollars
on a relatively new technology that may
not live up to its own hype?
Ultimately, it just might be gamers who
save VR. Oculus has at least 70 games in
development or already announced, and
Sony similarly announced over 100 at The
International Consumer Electronic Show
this year for the PlayStation VR. The initial look at VR titles feels promising, and
more and more games are announced
every week. Right now, it feels overpriced
and inaccessible like most groundbreaking technology. But the possibilities for
the technology are endless, and it may
just have enough staying power to be a
staple in the gaming industry.

Zoolander 2 beats sequel slump, but fizzles overall

By Blake Nelson
Zoolander 2 could be easily written
off by anyone who has seen the way Hollywood uses successful movies to make a
franchise so it can cash in on the success.
The original film has emerged as a cult
success, perfect fodder for Hollywood
executives. And 15 years seemed like too
long of a time to bring the characters back
without being forced.
When the film starts it does, admittedly,
seem like a lame cash grab; having Justin
Bieber in the beginning seemed rather
odd. The rest of the first act is also slow,
with a lot of exposition and some minor
cheap gags.
The film doesnt feel like a clone of the
original as we move past the first act, as
none of the same punch lines are used
from the original and the film acts as a
continuation of the story rather than a
reboot.
Its around the time that Ben Stiller
and Owen Wilson are both seen on stage
again when the movie really gets moving.

The chemistry between the two is just
as good as the first film and the acting is
right on for the characters.
The Zoolander character is played just
as well as before by Ben Stiller, delivering
lines with the same amount of idiocy while
not sounding like a rehash of the original.
But the idiocy can only go so far for
some people. This movie simply isnt for
everyone but neither was the original.
The original movie has about a 66 percent
rating between both Rotten Tomatoes
and the Internet Movie Database, so it is
easily understood why the sequel would
not sit well with a new audience.
Even though Zoolander 2 revolves
around stupid humor, the updated setting helps the film stand out from the
original, adding laughs through hipster
characters and current tropes.
It seems Stiller knew all the right
buttons to push when writing the new
script popular celebrities pop in and
out and meme-inspired gags are used to
add another level of stupidity to the film.

Although sometimes a little gratuitous, the
film doesnt overplay its meme exposure.
The best scenes in the film are the
ones in which Zoolander and Hansel are
exposed to the contemporary world of
modeling. Hipster tropes are used to set
the two characters in fish-out-of-water
roles that help poke fun at how long it took
the film to be made.
The film also exhibits a healthy amount
of self-awareness that helps the viewer
not take the idiocy on film too seriously.
However, through all its effort the film
is still somewhere in the middle on the
scale of quality. There were some funny
parts, but the film seemed a little crowded
too many characters and plot points to
really allow the viewer some time to let a
joke set in.
The major failures of the film are due in
large part to its incohesiveness. While the
original was easy to follow and had perfectly timed jokes, the new film doesnt
have a good sense of comedic timing. The
Movie Review
ZOOLANDER 2
Release Date: Feb. 12
Genre: Comedy
jokes sometimes seemed shoehorned in
rather than being completely relevant to
the story.
So no, this isnt a cinematic masterpiece,
nor is it better than the original; however,
it is better than one of the many cash-in
sequels from Hollywood. This film is
for both fans of the original and people
who like Stillers film Tropic Thunder. If
you are either of those people, then you
should go have a few laughs and enjoy a
decent movie.

STAFF EDITORIAL
Theres no excuse to sit out the caucus
onths of campaigning,
hundreds of organizers and
millions of voter contact
attempts have been poured
into Nevada communities by the cast
of 2016 presidential hopefuls and
their campaigns, all toward one goal:
emerging the victor of the caucuses.
For these candidates, the caucus
is the first and most important step
in securing their partys nomination.
Historically, voters age 18-24 have voted
at lower rates than any other age group,
according to Census data. This is the
year to break the trend. If you want
your voice to be heard and your needs
to be addressed by the most powerful
politician in the nation, you have to
show up.
Yes, caucusing takes time. Yes, the
process can be confusing. But the fact is
this: the 2016 election is pivotal for the
future of young people in Nevada and
beyond. As a college student, you must

embrace your political power and do the
work to ensure that the candidate whose
policies you feel are in your best interest
gets one step closer to the Oval Office.
The stakes are high in this election.
Access to health care, the ability to
pay for (or pay off) the cost of college
and the prospect of finding a job after
graduation are just a few issues that can
change the course of a students life. You
may not feel that you have a voice in
politics, but that sentiment could not be
further from the truth. If there is one lesson to take away from Nevadas caucus
predecessor, Iowa, it is that every single
vote matters in determining a winner.
Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders by
two delegates and 0.3 percent of the
vote; Ted Cruz beat Donald Trump by
one delegate and 3.3 percent of the vote.
Seriously: Every. Vote. Matters.
Especially in Washoe County, where
the results are largely unpredictable,

your presence on caucus day could very
well mean the difference between your
preferred candidate earning a needed
delegate or losing to their competitor.
If you care about your future and the
future you want for your country, heres
what you need to know to take action:

Would a Woodstock revival work?
e believe in universal human

rights, ethical business
practices, unfettered creative
expression, free trade, the loving
care of our planet, the power of the individual to
make a difference and the overwhelming impact of
communities to act as agents of peaceful change.
Those are the core principles inscribed by the music
worlds original festival, Woodstock.
Bethel, New York, in August
1969 might have set the stage for
one of the most pivotal moments
in music history. A fusion of art
alongside some of the greatest
performers of the era including
Jimi Hendrix, The Who and Janis
Joplin took stage on a dairy farm
to perform for nearly half a million
people.
Ali
The United States was at a pivSchultz
otal moment in history. The Civil
Schultz Happens Rights Movement was coming to a
close, while Americas involvement
in the Vietnam War peaked in 1969. It was a time
of chaos in the States. However, in the midst of the
disarray, music brought together over 500,000 people

for a four-day demonstration of peace, love and an
appreciation for the arts. Woodstock undoubtedly
made history. According to Woodstock.com, singer/
songwriter Joni Mitchell recounts Woodstock as a
spark of beauty where half-a-million kids saw that
they were part of a greater organism.
Flash forward to 1999 where a 30th commemorative anniversary of Woodstock was held. However,
this time around Woodstock would live in infamy.
Woodstock was an absolute disaster and quite
honestly made an absolute mockery of the festivals
premises. There was nothing peaceful about
the numerous cases of sexual assault, arson and
outbreaks of violence.
Not to mention the music pretty much defaced the
art of Woodstock. Artists such as Limp Bizkit, Korn
and Insane Clown Posse were among the performers
of the 99 Woodstock held in Rome, New York. Need I
say more? ICP boasts lyrics such as I stuck her with
my wang, she hit me in the balls. I grabbed her by
her neck, and I bounced her off the walls. Absolutely
nothing about those words promotes any sort of
peace or universal human rights. Instead, these
lyrics advocate for sexual violence, which is just what
occurred. According to an article by Rolling Stone,

44 people were arrested and only one was actually
charged with sexual assault, despite many counts
of witnessed rape at the festival. It was a total
abomination. Violence ensued even further with
accounts of vehicles being driven through crowds,
vendor tents being lit ablaze and crowd surfing
going horribly wrong.
Aside from the continuous appropriation of rape
and violence, the festival upcharged everything,
making the festival more of a scramble for money
versus a haven for peace of mind. According to
19 Worst Things about Woodstock 99 by Rolling
Stone, water bottles were charged at a rate of $4 a
piece and eventually sold out entirely, leaving the
crowd dehydrated and exhausted. This strays far
away from the original principle of Woodstock in
which 100,000 tickets were sold prior to the event;
however, tickets for the original festival ended up
being unnecessary. As floods of people flocked in,
Woodstock ceased selling tickets and just admitted
entry to everyone who traveled to be a part of this
monumental musical movement. The four days at
Woodstock 69 were more about community and
less about money. The 99 revival of Woodstock
transpired into nothing more than a monopolized
mess.
So why is this rant about a festival that happened 17 years ago necessary? Michael Lang,
Woodstocks original organizer, participated in
a recent interview conducted by Poughkeepsie
Journal, which announced that the festival may
be coming back to life for a 50th anniversary
celebration. Despite the horror that ensued in 99,
Lang is reportedly pushing forward with plans to
bring the festival back to be bigger and better than
ever. He is currently collaborating with numerous
other partners to discuss plans for the festival that
would take place in 2019.
Music festivals are a large part of modern
culture. The festival scene has evolved from one
monumental music festival that originated in
69 to festivals from coast to coast to cater to any
music enthusiasts liking. With the rise of the music
festival scene, it is no surprise considerations to
bring the original festival back are in full swing.
However, Woodstock has a lot of making up
to do. If Lang and other collaborators plan to
host Woodstock anything like it was in 99, we
can all agree that the festival is a complete and
utter waste of time. It would not be a memorable
tribute to one of musics greatest moments, but
instead a total mockery. Owners of the event
need to totally change their vision back to match
goals of the original Woodstock. Im sorry, but if
any artist that promotes violence in their song
lyrics or in their daily life is invited to headline
the festival, Woodstock can receive a big hell no

from me. The revival of Woodstock just seems like
an opportunity for ravers and headbangers to
tarnish the principles intended for Woodstock in
the first place. We already have festivals like EDC,
Ultra, Coachella and more. If Woodstock intends
to model the festival based on inspiration from
existing festivals, I say just save us all the trouble
and dont bother. The point was to unite people
with music. Woodstock made people feel like they
were a part of something bigger than themselves
for a minute without having to worry about
paying insane amounts of money for water bottles
and ticket prices. It was an escape from worldly
issues happening outside the confines of Bethel,
New York. It truly was a movement instead of a
monopolized entity.
I dont think its impossible to discount the notion that a peaceful, successful Woodstock can be
created. In fact, Outside Lands, an annual festival
held in San Francisco, California, has a peaceful
ambiance. Held in the beautiful Golden Gate Park,
festivalgoers are provided with the opportunity
to take part in digital detoxes, art viewings, food
tastings and the showcasing of beautiful music.
However, ticket prices are high and there are no
direct principles enforced to promote peace at the
festival. However, it could potentially be molded
into such given the right measures are taken. The
music scene is different now. A large majority of
this generation is listening to musical groups like
Mumford & Sons and Adele instead of Korn and
ICP. If any musicians that promote violence would
be invited to headline the 50th anniversary, the
whole premise of the festival would already be a
walking incongruity.
The fact of the matter is times are different now.
It isnt 1969 anymore. This generation is glued
to outlets of technology, and with the constant
flowing of bad news, some would argue we are
becoming more desensitized to violence. However,
there are many millennials who go to music
festivals to enjoy the music, find a release and
escape from the troubles of everyday life much
like the youth that engulfed a dairy farm in a small
town in New York during that August in the 60s. I
dont think its impossible that a new-age, peaceful
Woodstock can be done; however, if owners dont
acknowledge the abomination 99 was and bring
back the principles that made the festival so
special, then I think we can all make like Bryan
Adams and leave that festival back in the summer
of 69.

confused, and the only thing that soothes me is
some sweet, sweet satire. Saturday Night Live
and Key & Peele skits are always a laugh, but
Funny or Die took it to another level with its
new movie, Donald Trumps
The Art Of The Deal: The
Movie.
This 50-minute online
movie pretends to be an adaptation of Trumps 1987 book,
The Art of the Deal. The
credits read written, directed
and produced by Donald J.
Trump, with an opening title
Ryan
sequence straight out of the
Suppe
80s. The movie uses a lot of
the content from the original
book to highlight all of Trumps least redeeming
qualities. Im not sure how accurate the facts
are in the movie, but I dont care because its
awesome.
The younger Trump is played by Johnny Depp.
You can imagine the amount of makeup it took
to pull off that transformation. His performance
isnt Oscar-worthy, but its believable enough
to get the point across. His characterization of
Trump is a greedy, racist, sexist, opportunistic
real estate mogul whose only interests are in
business deals, hence the art of the deal.
Donald Trumps The Art Of The Deal: The
Movie was written by Joe Randazzo, a satirist,
best known as editor of The Onion and for his

work with Adult Swim. It was directed by Jeremy
Konner, has an original score by Kenny Loggins
and an all-star comedian cast, and it features
cameos from Ron Howard and Christopher
Lloyd as Doc Brown, who arrives at Trump
Tower in 1987 from the future where he tries
to stop the series of events that leads to Trump
becoming president of the United States in 2016.
I think this movie was made mostly for
entertainment, but that doesnt make its
message any less important. People often forget
the awful things that Trump has said and done
in the past. He talks so much that hes always
one-upping himself, and his atrocities get lost in
the sea of b.s.
This movie reminds America of the kind of
person Trump really is. At one point while hes
getting fitted for a suit the movie version of
Trump says, I dont judge a person based on
the color of their skin or their tendency towards
rape or even the color they dye their hair, I mean
I judge them based on how they affect property
value. I dont think this is a direct quote from
Trump, but I wouldnt be surprised.
The Art Of The Deal: The Movie probably
wont change the minds of any Trump supporters. Im quite certain after reading comments on
the Internet that their minds cant be changed.
Im just hoping that this dialogue continues, and
Trump continues to say dumb stuff, so we can
make fun of him.

OPINION | A7
AMERICA,
WHY SO
POLARIZED?
Americans should
should steer clear
of extremes views
hile political ads

constantly bombard
us with nasty
attacks on TV and
everything we post
on social media is at
risk of turning into a hostile debate, its
clear to see there is a deep rift between
opinions in America. This dissent is
nothing new: ad hominem attacks and
dichotomy have been parts of American
history since its birth
more than 200 years
ago.
However, within
the past 10 years
this polarization of
viewpoints, especially
involving politics, has
become extremely
disparate. According
Jessica
to the Pew Research
Kitchingman
Center, the percent
of Americans who
hold moderate views has shrunk by 10
percent from 49 percent in 2004 to
39 percent in 2014. This rapid change in
political identification means that more
Americans are adopting increasingly
extreme political opinions, liberals and
conservatives alike.
As the common ground between
the left and the right quickly falls out
beneath our feet, our democracy is
growing more stagnant each day and we
become further entrenched in political
gridlock. At his final State of the Union
address, President Obama touched on
how this polarization is one of the things
he regrets most during his presidency.
Democracy grinds to a halt without a
willingness to compromise, he says, or
when even basic facts are contested, or
when we listen only to those who agree
with us. Our public life withers when
only the most extreme voices get all the
attention.
These extreme voices, like Donald

Trump, rally other extremists to join
forces and continue to justify their
radical opinions by creating a social
identity for themselves. And while
spending time with like-minded people
may appear beneficial, it does more
harm than good. When we categorize
ourselves into separate political groups,
we feed into an us vs. them mindset
where we believe our opinion is right
and anyone who disagrees is wrong. Yet
politics, or the world for that matter, is
not that black and white and requires
compromise.
But why cant we Americans just learn
to compromise? It turns out learning is
half the problem. According to The Big
Sort by Bill Bishop, higher education
actually contributes to the polarization problem in America. Seeking
higher education in turn has us seeking
evidence to justify our beliefs and
disprove others.
If a professor has a different viewpoint
than us, were unlikely to respect their
beliefs and take them seriously, and
some might take it as far as posting DO
NOT TAKE 0/10 do not recommend on
RateMyProfessor.com. We become blind
to any information that challenges what
we believe to be true. On the other hand,
professors as well as other students who
support our opinions are seen as more
intelligent and we flock to these people.
And this polarization is not exclusive
to politics. As my fellow nerds know
all too well, there is a huge dichotomy
between Marvel and DC. The debate
between Marvel fans and DC fans
becomes so heated, it could fuel a civil
war. But why do we treat something
as trivial as comic books akin to the
apocalypse? Marvel-based puns aside,
almost every form of entertainment has
been exposed and corrupted with polarity. From The Dress to Meek Mill and
Drake or Wiz Khalifa and Kanye West,
we divide and pick sides. Its almost as
if we are addicted to the conflict and
drama that arises from these situations
and neutrality would be equivalent to
withdrawing.
So where does that leave us? If
polarization is just a side effect of the
Illustration by Zak Brady/Nevada Sagebrush
human condition in America, is there a

12-step program we can check into to
rehabilitate both sides of the aisle and
find some shared values between both
Republican and Democrat, or end the
beef between Ye and Wiz?
While it may not come easy, and
may take a little bit of settling on
some of the more poignant issues, I
think it is possible for us to set aside
the differences and leave the extreme
partisanship in the past. If we augment
what we have in common and take into
consideration the views of the opposite
Dont reject feminism due

to negative misconceptions
he definition of feminism,
according to MerriamWebster, is the theory of
the political, economic
and social equality of the sexes.
Upon reading the definition, I
think we can all agree that it seems
fairly reasonable.
No person will openly say that
they do not support equal rights.
It is interesting
that many people
think feminists
are women who
believe they are
superior to men.
Though some
feminists do hold
Autumn
this belief, the
Parham
majority of them
do not.
With social media being such an
impactful part of our generation,
it has become apparent that it has
played a crucial part in the development and spread of feminist
ideals. Twitter has been one of the
biggest platforms for people to
express their views on the topic,
including many trends such as
Free the Nipple, a revolutionary
movement to end the censorship
of womens breasts.
While some do not see the
importance of statements like this,
they stem from the beginning of
the journey toward equality, which
was at an all-time high in the
1960s.
A new-age version of women
who mirror similar movements of
those of the 1960s have emerged
today. Women take part in Free
the Nipple and choose to show
their dedication to the cause by
walking the streets of some major
cities in America without the
binding of bras.
Many feminists want to address
a sense of double standards in
men and women. While many
social norms allow men to dress
freely and express their sexuality

openly and proudly, women are not
regarded in the same light. It seems
society encourages women to live
more of a modest life.
Many argue that oversexualizing women leads to some of the
inequality they face. While it is
completely acceptable to publish a
magazine with Brad Pitt shirtless,
calling him man candy, the same
magazine could condemn Rihanna
for an outfit that is too revealing
on the red carpet.
This perspective that both men
and women do not have the freedom
to dress in what they desire is
unbalanced.
It is unfortunate that many band
against feminists, calling them rash,
controlling, unrealistic or simply
angry. And in doing so it seems
many times feminist ideals get put
on the back burner, although the
basis for equality among the sexes
is completely justifiable. It is a tale
as old as time. Women have always
been seen as inferior in many
cultures, and they have been treated
as lesser citizens, much like minorities. Having a gathering of people,
not just women, to express the
disdain of unequal treatment should
not be seen as a negative. There are
bad seeds in all groups. Those few
feminists who preach superiority
of the female sex should not be a
reflection of true feminist ideas.
Recently, there has been the
development of a group of people
on social media that wishes to work
against or satire feminists; these
people are referred to as meninists.
There has been a massive following
of these meninist accounts, as well
as many other that have similar
postings. Many tweets and posts
have been made spiting women who
wish to advance feminism and attain
equality of the sexes.
The original account has been removed from Twitter multiple times,
most likely due to the repeated
number of times it was reported

or blocked. The newest account,
which also advertises apparel, has
1.6 million followers. This meninist
account has been known to make
fun of feminists for their passion or
outrageous and unattainable
wants.
Many of the comments have
been seen as highly offensive
or insensitive to controversial
subjects. While the meninists have
a large following of both men and
women, many are unaware of the
groups origin.
According to feminist.com, the
meninist movement was actually
in support of womens rights. The
website states, Meninist is a global
organization of men that believe in
and support the feminist principles
of womens political, social and
economic equality. The following
represents the platform we believe
in.
It is very interesting that 15
years ago, feminism was moving in the complete opposite
direction. However, it has only
taken two people, identified by
the usernames @jewcup and @
helloimivan on Twitter, to take a
positive movement and completely
tarnish its foundation, making a
profit while doing so.
While millennials have taken
many things into their own hands
as they see fit, it is important to
know what one actually supports
before self-proclaiming. I advise
you to steer clear of ignorant trends
such as these and invest in the
true foundation of feminism. Show
respect for those who only wish
to attain equality for all, and leave
behind the poor presumptions
you may have of the stereotypical
man-hating feminist.

side, we can depolarize the situation.

While my hopes for the future may be a
bit optimistic, Ill leave you with this:
In the end of his final State of the
Union, President Obama called
the American people to action. In
response to the hate that divides us, he
asksed,Will we respond to the changes
of our time with fear, turning inward as
a nation, turning against each other as
people? Or will we face the future with
confidence in who we are, in what we
stand for, in the incredible things that
we can do together?
His words, reminiscent of a speech

given by Abraham Lincoln nearly 160
years prior, hold the same message; it is
true that a house divided against itself
cannot stand, and it is vital that we
as Americans consider the incredible
progress we could achieve if we united
as a nation and left the heated Facebook
debates in the past.

Its time for the rest of the

formation to get in formation
ithin hours of Beyonc

dropping her latest single
Formation, I had heard the
song, seen the video (multiple
times) and sat back while supporters and
haters alike dove into the details of the five
minute experience.
Before we get into the nitty gritty, I think
we should all admit that at one time or another, we have jammed
out to, been empowered
by and aspired to be
like Beyonc. Everyone
likes Beyonc so stop
pretending youre too
cool to admit it. Now that
thats out of the way, we
can begin dissecting this
video as if we were in a
Rachel
10th grade biology class.
Yelverton
The songs rhythm, lyrics and imagery all feed
into a creole and southern gothic gumbo.
Beyonc is clearly feeling her roots in this
song, and if theres one thing that makes
people uncomfortable its a confident
woman proud of herself and her heritage.
Throughout the video, Beyonc
embraces elements of black culture that
are usually cast as negative stereotypes.
From loving husband Jay-Zs Jackson Five
nostrils, to the countless women rocking
natural hair, Beyonc breaks down labels
to rebuild them.
The video opens with a powerful scene:
Beyonc, beautiful as ever, standing on
a New Orleans police car submerged
in a flooded community. This not-sosubtle reference to the devastatingly poor
governmental response to Hurricane
Katrina reminds listeners that this series of
mistakes has yet to be fully resolved. This
systematic neglect seems to be specific
to the poor, black communities in New
Orleans.
Because the NOLA area has a large intersection of black and lower class citizens,
many have argued that this poor reaction
to the video underscores the deep-rooted
problem of racism in the United States.
For those who dont remember, rapper
Kanye West said on national TV in 2001
that George Bush doesnt care about
black people. Regardless of how true
that statement is, one thing is certain;
Hurricane Katrina destroyed the lives of

thousands of black families, and Beyonc
has not forgotten about them.
The theme of racism within government
is revisited when a young black boy wearing a hoodie is pictured break dancing as a
dozen police officers face him. The screen
then pans to a graffitied wall that reads
stop shooting us. The phrase popularized
by the Black Lives Matters movement looks
to address the institutionalized racism
plaguing the nation, and it seems that
pops biggest star is looking to do the same
Much of the controversy around Formation is centered around Beyoncs support
of the movement.
To this I say: get over it. Beyonc does
not once say she hates police. Nor does she
advocate for violence, racial superiority or
anything other than basic human rights.
The facts are clear. The opposition is
wrong in assuming that the Black Lives
Matter activists are asserting that their lives
matter more. Its a matter of equality, not
superiority.
The fact of the matter is that injustice
is a huge problem everywhere, denying
that is turning an ignorant blind eye to
huge social problem. If you have never
been faced with discrimination, consider
yourself a lucky one. But just because you
have never been faced with discrimination,
doesnt mean you can dismiss those who
have.
We can all agree on the fact that Beyonc
has a strong voice. She is looked at by many
as an embodiment of a strong, successful
African American woman. She has the
respect of many and is constantly in the
limelight. Her using her music to serve
as a voice for those facing discrimination
should gain her nothing but more respect
and admiration.
Beyonc has an unparalleled platform,
and I believe she has every right to use it.
The Queen has once again proven she does
not need anyones permission to live her
life. She has left her mark and continued
to stand up for what she believes in. And I
further believe that its time for the rest of
the nation to get in formation.

THIS WEEKS GAME

Nevada at SJSU
By Jack Rieger
With just six games remaining in the regular season, Nevada
basketball has positioned itself to contend for a second-place finish in the Mountain West Conference. Thanks to a week in which
the Wolf Pack beat Air Force and Fresno State, Nevada is just one
game back of second-place New Mexico and half a game back of
third-place Boise State.
PACK REFUSES TO OVERLOOK AIR FORCE

Coach Eric Musselman as intense and demanding a coach
as youll ever see emphasized the importance of not disregarding Air Force just because of its record. The Wolf Pack is a young
team, with two freshmen and a sophomore starting almost every
night, so you may have expected Nevada to look past the Falcons.
Instead, the Wolf Pack had one of its best defensive performances
of the season, holding Air Force to just 52 points and winning by
a score of 72-52.
Coming into the game, I wanted to make sure that our
players understood that every game is a new theme and has
a new identity, and that whatever happened on the road
against Air Force is not part of tonight, Musselman said.
I think from the very beginning of our game our players
played with a great seriousness.
Junior DJ Fenner, who has emerged recently as a primary scorer for the Wolf Pack, led Nevada with 18 points
and eight rebounds.
We were mad, Fenner said, alluding to the teams loss
four days earlier to Colorado State. We were really angry
after that Colorado State game. As a group, we decided to
go out there and take our anger out on them [Air Force],
and we did just that.
Another theme that has shown up lately is Nevadas
inability to close out games. The Wolf Pack led the game
for nearly 31 minutes, but Colorado States offense hit
its stride in the last 10 minutes of the game, scoring 49
second-half points.
We 100 percent gave that one away, said senior Marqueze Coleman. Thats all I can say. We gave it away.
WOMENS GOLF
Competition is stiff when referring
to the Peg Barnard Invitational
in Stanford, California. While
this may have been a concern
to other teams, Nevada played
relaxed and with poise, placing
11th overall. The team was also
strong in its individual play, as five
Pack members placed above 60th
place. Celyn Khoo and Bertille
Dupont were the teams leaders
as Khoo tied for 29th, and Dupont
tied for 42nd.
SOFTBALL
This year the Kajikawa Classic
took place in Tempe, Arizona,
from Feb. 12 to 14. The Pack was
untouchable during its first day
of competition, with a 7-6 victory
over Bradley and a 5-3 victory
over Indiana. Momentum was on
Nevadas side going into day two,
but its early wins would eventually
go to the teams head, with Nevada
dropping both games in its second
day of action. The Pack would
eventually redeem itself, with a 2-1
victory over East Carolina, during
the final day in Tempe.
LED BY CAM OLIVER, NEVADA WINS IN OT

On Jan. 6, Fresno State handed Nevada its worst
conference loss this season. On Saturday evening, the
Wolf Pack got its revenge, beating the Bulldogs 77-72
in overtime, thanks primarily to the dominating performance of Cameron Oliver.
The freshman forward scored 20 points and a Mountain
West record 24 rebounds, along with three blocks and two
assists. Olivers performance may have been because of an
unlikely source his mother who surprised the freshman
by witnessing him play live in college for just the second time.
Fresno State began the game shorthanded, missing four of
its primary play makers. Bulldogs coach Rodney Terry
refused to credit the Wolf Pack or Cameron Oliver
for their performances. No credit, Terry said.
They had the size on us today because we dont
have our guys, but thats OK. Well bounce back.
We competed hard. We left it on the floor who
knows, we get a chance to play these guys again
and if were mended the right way, well see what
happens.
Terry may get his wish. As of right now, Fresno
State and Nevada are set to play each other in
the Mountain West tournament as the four and five
seeds.
WOMENS BASKETBALL
The Packs woes continue, with
its most recent losses to Air Force
and Fresno State. Nevada dug
a deep hole for itself during the
second quarter against Air Force.
This hole would prove to be too
deep to get out of, and the team
would eventually lose a close one
in Colorado, 59-53. Nevada would
then travel to Fresno, California,
to take on the Bulldogs. Nyasha
Lesure would reach a career-high
800 points this game, which
would inevitably be overshadowed
by the Packs loss. Fresno State
went on to defeat Nevada by a
margin of nine points, despite
being down going into halftime.

IS THE NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND RELEVANT AGAIN?

In my opinion, All-Star Weekend was never not
relevant. The NBA has the best All-Star Weekend
in sports because the excitement and star power in
all the events and the game itself are so powerful.
You have Kevin Hart doing commentary with Kenny
Smith and Charles Barkley, Justin Verlander and
Kate Upton sitting courtside and Drake greeting the
All-Stars when theyre introduced. This weekend
just highlighted that to a different level. All of the
other events were great, but the dunk contest was a
classic. Aaron Gordon got robbed, by the way.

THE WEEKLY DEBATE
Jack
Rieger
I consider myself a pretty big NBA fan, and I had zero

motivation to watch a single second of the All-Star Weekend.
First of all, the winner of the game receives nothing, so
nobody plays with any sense of urgency or defense. The
3-point contest couldnt be more boring; its like watching a
really good pool player playing by himself at a bar. The dunk
contest this year was apparently better than usual, but the
people participating dont even start for their own team.
Baseball has done a nice job of awarding the winner of
their All-Star game with home field advantage in the World
Series, so players have a real incentive to play hard.

The Sagebrush sports desk debates topics

going into baseballs season opener
Marcus Lavergne/Nevada Sagebrush
THE D E B A T E
HOW IS BASEBALLS CULTURE DIFFERENT

FROM OTHER MAJOR SPORTS?
NEIL HEALY: Baseball is one of

the more interesting cultures
in sports because the player
and coaches deal with failure
more often than most other
major sports do. The all-time
great players still only hit
around .300, so they fail seven
out of 10 times at the plate.
The large amount of games
and how the game is set up
leads to more times that you
fail. Even if a major league
team wins 100 games in a
season the team still lost 62
times. Losing 62 times in the
NBA means youre terrible;
losing that amount of football
games means youre bad for
about a decade. You can hit
a walk-off homer the night
before and then go 0-4 with a
walk the next day.
You cant celebrate your wins
or dwell on your losses for
too long in baseball because
you have to get up and play
the next day. Its a lot like life.
You fail more times than you
succeed, so I feel that baseball
culture knows how to deal

with failure more effectively.
Another aspect of baseball
that is different from the other
major sports is that there is so
much action in inaction. So
much happens during dead
periods of play that you can
miss them if you dont pay attention. The runner is on first
and he gets the signal from the
manager. The catcher gives
the sign to the pitcher, who
winds up out of the stretch to
see if the runner is looking to
steal. This and so much more
are easily forgotten, but are
just as much of a part of the
game as the play itself.
JACK
RIEGER: Baseballs
culture is very different from
other sports in a lot of ways.
First off, baseball is pretty
exclusive, meaning if you
dont play baseball or havent
played competitively, players
and coaches are probably not
going to respect your opinion.
At first glance, that seems
IS BASEBALL NEVADAS MOST

TALENTED, PROMISING PROGRAM?
to make sense, right? If

youve never stood in the box
while the opposing pitcher
is throwing 90 mph at you,
why should your opinion
be valued? But what about
Buster Olney, who is one of
the most respected Major
League Baseball reporters.
Olney stands at about 57
and never played baseball at
a high level, yet he is a voting
member of the baseball Hall
of Fame.
If you look at current Major
League Baseball managers,
a high majority are former
players, but the same cant be
said for football or basketball.
In fact, Cubs manager Joe
Maddon claims that if he had
seen just one pitch as a major
league player he wouldve
been hired ten years earlier.
Baseball also has a history
in the U.S. that dates back to
the 1840s, creating a culture
of old white men who cant
stand to see current players
celebrate or flip their bats.
HOW DOES NEW MANAGER T.J. BRUCE CHANGE THE

TRAJECTORY OF THE PROGRAM GOING FORWARD?
NEIL HEALY: T.J. Bruce is

bringing in a new culture
to Nevada baseball that he
picked up as an assistant on
UCLA. He wants to center his
teams success on more fundamental aspects of the game
such as pitching and defense.
It sounds simple, but how
many times in baseball does
the team that is an offensive
juggernaut get bounced in
the first round? Bruce learned
from UCLA head coach John
Savage, who enjoys a more
old-school style of baseball
led by dominating the mound
and playing good defense.
UCLA won a national championship in 2013 and was the
No. 1 seed entering the College World Series last season,
so it is a proven method to
success.
Am I saying that Nevada
will go on to Omaha, Nebraska, as the No. 1 seed? No,
but I feel that Nevada will be
better equipped to win the
big games down the stretch.
Nevada went into the Mountain West tournament as the
regular season champion and
the favorite to win it all and
go to the College World Series,
but lost both games to New
Mexico and San Diego State,

and fell short of a postseason
berth. Despite 41 wins and
averaging eight runs a game,
the Wolf Pack failed to win the
games that really mattered.
A philosophy of pitching and
defense is a better way to
win postseason games. Look
at the San Francisco Giants,
who have won three out of
the last six World Series trophies because they center on
good pitching in the starting
rotation and the bullpen and
they have the best infield in
baseball. Bruce knows how to
win the big games and soon
Nevada will know too.
JACK RIEGER: I may be in

the minority, but I think this
is a considerable setback
for Nevada baseball, especially this year. The hiring of
33-year-old Bruce to replace
Jay Johnson, who left for Arizona, was praised by various
big-name figures like UCLA
coach John Savage, Reno
Aces manager Phil Nevin, and
former Nevada football coach
Chris Ault.
Bruce was an assistant
coach at UCLA, which won
a College World Series in
2013, and hiring a young

and emerging assistant is
typically well-received, but
Nevada lost some valuable
players when Johnson left.
Most notably sophomore
catcher Cal Stevenson, who
transferred to a junior college
when he learned of Johnsons
departure, and plans to play
for Johnson at Arizona when
hes eligible. There were
also two MLB draftees who
decommitted from Nevada
when Johnson left. None of
these changes are T.J. Bruces
fault, as coaching changes in
every sport typically impact
incoming players.
The hiring of Bruce is risky
because hes only 33-yearsold and this is his first head
coaching position in college.
He has the tough task of following up a season in which
Nevada won its first regular
season Mountain West championship and won 41 games. I
dont expect this season to be
anywhere nearly as successful
as last year, mostly because
the Wolf Pack lost tons of
talented offensive weapons,
including 71 percent of its
runs scored and 82 percent of
its home runs.
Braden Shipley named No.

24 prospect in baseball
By Neil Patrick Healy
ESPNs baseball writer Keith Law

has named former Nevada Wolf Pack
pitcher Braden Shipley the No. 24
prospect in baseball. Shipley originally
came to Nevada as a shortstop before
being a two-time conference pitcher
of the year before being taken with the
15th pick by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2013 MLB draft. Shipley
was rated the No. 19 prospect in
baseball by ESPN in 2015. He became
the first first-round pick in Nevada
baseball history and is the highest
selected Nevada athlete in school history. Nevada basketball has had both
Kirk Snyder and Luke Babbit selected
No. 16 in the 2005 and 2011 NBA draft,
respectively.
During his time at Nevada, Shipley
posted a 17-7 career record and posted
a .708 winning percentage, which is
the ninth best winning percentage in
school history. He also ranks sixth in
school history in strikeouts with 203.
The 23-year-old Shipley spent 2015
in Double-A and struggled during the
first half of the season, but regained
his form and posted

a 2.66 ERA after
making a mechanical change in his
pitching motion. At
6 foot 2, 185-pounds,
Shipley is the ideal
size for a staring
pitcher. Projections
Braden
say that he has a
Shipley
chance to make his
Major League debut
sometime this season and could start
the year in Reno with the Aces.
Shipley is an outstanding athlete
and former infielder whose delivery is
now very smooth and easy to repeat,
so throwing strikes wont be a problem, said Law in his evaluation of
Shipley. Its just a matter of staying on
top of that fastball and keeping it out
of the upper half of the strike zone. If
he does that, as he did in the second
half of 2015, he can be a No. 2 starter
in the big leagues.

NEIL HEALY: As of right now,

yes. Lets not forget that the
baseball program is still the
only Nevada team to win a
Mountain West championship. The team was nationally
ranked last season and is able
to lose five draft picks, three
All-Americans and five AllMountain West selections,
and still near the top of the
conference. At a school like
Nevada, you can see the
success of your program
when your coaches get hired
away from you to a major
program. Former head coach
Jay Johnson led the Pack to a
banner year before getting
hired by Pac-12 powerhouse
Arizona. Did Nevada struggle
to hire someone qualified? No,
instead Nevada hired one of
the top assistants from arguably the best college baseball
program in the nation.
Another big indicator to a
programs success is how the
players do once they are off
campus. Five players were
drafted off last years team
and former first basemen
Austin Byler had major success in the Pioneer League
this past summer and won
the league championship
with the Missoula Osprey. The
Wolf Pack has also had many
players have big success in the
Majors. Ryan Church, Kevin
Kouzmanoff and Chris Singleton are three players who have
enjoyed major success at the
major league level. We will see
how basketball does in the
next couple years, but the way
baseball has had success both
JACK RIEGER: Its hard to

answer this question right
now in the midst of a coaching change. Former coach
Jay Johnson impacted the
program immediately, and
within two years was swayed
by a larger program in the
University of Arizona. That is
ultimately the hardest part of
being a small program; you
cant afford to retain the most
talented leaders. If T.J. Bruce
becomes a huge success,
which he may, does he accept
the first lucrative offer from
UCLA or USC?
Heres what Nevada baseball has going for them: the
Pack has nice local support
from fans, the program is
coming off its best season in
recent memory and it has the
preseason MW player and
pitcher of the year.
Nevada athletics tends to
thrive with smaller sports because the playing field is more
level. Womens swimming
and rifle are good examples
of that. Nevada baseballs
team last year was incredibly
talented with Austin Byler,
Cal Stevenson, Jordan Devencenzi, Kyle Hunt and Kewby
Meyer. All of those players are
gone this year and Nevada
will have to depend on the
talent of its pitching staff and
its defense (two things T.J.
Bruce emphasizes) in order to
win big.
WHO IS THE MOST

VALUABLE PLAYER?
NEIL
HEALY:
Trenton
Brooks comes into the 2016
season as the key to success. Besides the obvious
fact of him being a two-way
player as a pitcher and
outfielder, he will also be
looked to as the key at the
top of the batting order.
Six out of nine spots in the
lineup are being replaced
after last seasons lineup
put up monster numbers,
and Brooks will be looked
to as the new focal point at
the top of the order. Along
with his play in the batters
box, he will be a weekend
starter. His impact cant be
questioned.

VALENTINES DAY
Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander has
a good life. Hes the No. 1 starter on an
American League Central contender and
hes won an MVP and the pitchers triple
crown while collecting a monster $200
million contract. Now how does a man
who gets paid $6,900 per pitch spend his
Valentines Day? At the NBA All-Star Game
in Toronto with his supermodel girlfriend
Kate Upton. Upton posted a pic of her and
Verlander courtside at Sundays All-Star
festivities and I have a hard time thinking
of a better way for a man to spend the
holiday. While some poor guys were
dragged to a bed and breakfast or had
to watch a generic chick flick, Verlander
got to sit courtside and watch basketball
with a woman who has been on the cover
of Sports Illustrateds swimsuit edition.
Props, my man. All boyfriends must wish
they could pull that off. #Goals
JACK RIEGER: Trenton Brooks

is probably the most decorated player on the team this
year, considering he led the
Mountain West in batting
average last season and is also
a solid starting pitcher. For
the sake of being interesting,
Ill go with Christian Stolo,
who enters the season as the
MW preseason pitcher of the
year, and is the ace of a pretty
talented staff. New coach
T.J. Bruce has a reputation
as a pitching and defensive
specialist, and in order for
Nevada to have a chance at
contending for a conference
title, Stolo will have to remain
healthy and effective.
STOCK DOWN
ANYONE SAYING, TRADE
MIKE TROUT
The preseason leads to sportswriters to come up with ideas for columns
that will get people talking. ESPNs
Keith Law finished ranking every MLB
farm system and the Los Angeles
Angels finished at No. 30. In case
you werent sure, thats out of 30
teams. The sentence that got peoples
attention in Laws article was when
he said, If the Angels want longterm success, they should consider
trading Mike Trout. I understand
the need to reload your farm system
with prospects and trading big
names can do that. That being said,
that is blasphemy! That is absolute
blasphemy! Mike Trout is the present
and future of baseball. At 24 years
old, he has already won rookie of the
year, four Silver Slugger awards, has
made two All-Star Game appearances
and won the MVP award in 2014. The
Angels are a hot mess, but a move like
this would only amplify that level. The
Angels would go from hot mess to
dumpster fire real quick. Keith, I get
it. Pre-spring training can be dull, but
lets pump the breaks.

T.J. Bruce faces high expectations

Despite roster
shake-up, new
coach expected
to win now
By Jack Rieger
The 2016 Nevada baseball

team received a complete
overhaul during the offseason,
most notably when former
manager Jay Johnson left
Nevada for a more prestigious
job with the University of Arizona after a 41-win season and
Nevadas only Mountain West
regular season championship.
Eighteen days after Johnson
jumped ship for Tucson, Nevada hired 33-year-old coach
T.J. Bruce, who was an assistant
coach at UCLA for the last five
seasons where he helped lead
the Bruins to the 2013 College
World Series. Bruce served as
the infield coach and recruiting coordinator for UCLA.
Bruces
hiring
parallels
the coaching mold Nevada
athletics has looked for in the
past three years: young and
aggressive. Brian Polian was
just 38 when Nevada hired
him in 2013, and he had no
experience as a head coach at
the college level. While Nevada
football has been up and down
during Polians tenure, the
move was mostly praised at
the time of the hire because
Polian had experience working
with high-profile coaches like
Kevin Sumlin, Jim Harbaugh
and Charlie Weis. Not to mention Polian is also the son of
NFL Hall of Fame executive Bill
Polian.
Similarly, the hiring of
33-year-old Bruce has been
met with lots of praise from
all types of prominent figures,
including UCLA head coach
John Savage, Reno Aces
manager Phil Nevin and even
Nevada football coaching legend Chris Ault. Hiring young,
raw coaches certainly has its
advantages. If Bruce turns
out to be successful in Reno,
Nevada has a young coach at
its disposal for the foreseeable
future. You could also argue
young coaches have the ability
to relate to 18-to 22-year-old
kids better than an older coach
could.
But there are also consequences to hiring a young
coach like Bruce, some of
which are already beginning to
surface. Nevada lost a number
of talented incoming players who were committed to
playing for the Pack after the
coaching change, including
two MLB draftees. Nevada also
lost MW Freshman of the Year

since 2011.
Cal Stevenson, who transferred

to a junior college following
the coaching moves.
Along
with
Stevenson,
Nevada lost five All-MW honorees, five MLB draft picks
and three All-Americans. This
years Wolf Pack baseball team
will be a completely different
offense, losing 71 percent of
its runs scored and 82 percent
of its home runs. Last season,
Nevada ranked fourth in the
NCAA in runs scored per game
(8.0), but with the loss of middle-of-the-order hitters like
Austin Byler and Ryan Howell,
the Pack will certainly see a decrease in offensive fire power
and will have to depend on its
pitching staff and defense.
Although Nevada lost plenty
of good players, the team still
has a nice mix of talent, including preseason MW Player of
the Year Trenton Brooks, who
had the best batting average in
the MW last season. The Pack
also has the preseason MW
Pitcher of the Year in Christian
Stolo, who flaunted a 2.60
earned run average in 2015
and led Nevada in strikeouts
with 68. Nevada will depend on
the ability of its pitching this
season, as the team returns
much of its staff from last year,
including Stolo (8-2, 2.83 ERA),
Zach Wilkins (2-0, 3.26 ERA),
Evan McMahan (5-0, 2.32 ERA)
and Trenton Brooks (4-1, 3.65
ERA).
Led by Bruce, Nevada baseball is hoping to continue its

run as a premier Mountain
West program. The Wolf Pack
will have to overcome the
loss of talented MLB draft

picks, transfers and three AllAmericans, which will not be
easy. Dont expect Wolf Pack
baseball to replicate last years
41-win season, at least not yet.

THE S E A S O N
Chris Overmyer/Nevada Sagebrush
A Wolf Pack baseball player takes an at-bat during a game last season at Peccole Park. Nevada loses six of nine hitters in this seasons lineup and will look to pitching and defense to win games.
Pitching, defense keys for Pack

By Neil Patrick Healy
Nevada baseball will begin its Mountain

West title defense with a new look. The
obvious change is at head coach, with TJ
Bruce taking over after Jay Johnson left for
Arizona, but the program as a whole will
look and play differently in 2016.
OFFENSE
The Wolf Pack was a well-oiled machine

at the plate in 2015. Nevada was fourth in
the nation in runs scored with eight runs
per game. Thats to be expected when
you have Austin Byler, Kewby Meyer,
Ryan Howell, Jordan Devencenzi, Kyle
Hunt and Cal Stevenson in the lineup,
but all those at-bats have to be replaced.
Byler, Meyer, Howell and Devencenzi were
drafted, while Stevenson transferred to a
junior college and is committed to follow
Johnson to Arizona.
With six of the nine spots in the lineup
being replaced, putting runs on the board
may prove to be a struggle. The cupboard
isnt bare; however, with preseason
Mountain West player of the year Trenton
Brooks, third basemen Bryce Greager and

Jordan Pearce returning, the top of the
order will be difficult to pitch around in
2016.
Thats a simple statement, but having a

plethora of quality pitching is a recipe to
win games.
PITCHING
The defense for Nevada isnt a solidified

strength, but it is being emphasized more
and more by the coaching staff. Bruce was
mentored by UCLA coach John Savage
as a longtime assistant, and the staples
of UCLAs success were pitching and
defense. Nevada has the task of replacing
its catcher, both middle infielders and the
center fielder, but there may be more options in the lineup than just nine guys. The
only positions that look to be locked down
are Brooks in left field, Greager at third
and Pearce at first. The rest of the field is
uncertain, but it is projected that TJ Friedl
will take over in center field while UCLA
transfer Justin Hazzard will split time with
freshman Kaleb Foster at catcher. The
Pack wont have the luxury of having MLB
draft picks in the lineup putting runs on
the board, so the defense will have to be
able to back up the pitching staff in order
to win games.
With all the turnover entering this

season, the constant strength that brings
back almost its full strength is the pitching staff. The Wolf Pack returns 65 percent
of its innings pitched in 2015. The staff is
headlined by the preseason Mountain
West pitcher of the year in Christian
Stolo, who went 8-2 with a 2.83 ERA.
Brooks, a two-way player, also returns
to the mound after going 4-1 with a 3.65
ERA in 2015. Other pitchers projected
to be in the starting rotation are Zach
Wilkins, 2-0, 3.26 ERA, and Mark Nowaczewski, who missed 2015 to offseason
arm surgery. Evan McMahan, Cameron
Rowland and Michael Fain solidify the
returning arms and the pitching staff will
be looked to as one of the main strengths
of this team.
I think weve got a lot of arms, Bruce
said.
DEFENSE
PROJECTION
Matching Nevadas record of 41 wins in
2015 is a tough mark to reach. The team
is built differently and is replacing a lot of
major league talent, but that doesnt mean
Nevada wont be successful. At every level
of baseball, the team with good pitching and
good defense usually wins in postseason
play. UCLA has won national championships
with that formula. The San Francisco Giants
have carved out a Dynasty with that formula.
It isnt the flashiest way to win ballgames,
but pitching and defense are what win
games that matter. Will Nevada win the
Mountain West? Probably not. San Diego
State enters the season as the favorite, but
Nevada may be better equipped to win big
games down the stretch with the new formula that Bruce has been introducing since
he arrived in Reno. Do not expect 41 wins
again, but dont expect a drop-off either.
The Pack will continue to be in the top tier
in the Mountain West.
