How to Get in the “S” Zone at a PSU Football Game

Reading through these insightful blog posts, you may have noticed that many students love to attend Penn State football games. Beaver Stadium is one of the best places to be on a Saturday afternoon/night, regardless of where you end up sitting in the student section. However, one of my favorite places to sit in the stadium is in the “S” zone. Located at the south endzone, the “S” zone (student zone) is the powerhouse of the student section. With the Lion Ambassadors’ help, roughly 800 students create a giant “S” out of blue and white t-shirts to show our student support of the football team. Most notably, if you sit in this section, you receive a free t-shirt to wear and cherish forever!!!

So how can you make sure that you’re in the “S” zone during the next football game? Well, there is a trick to getting those awesome seats. Since seats are assigned at the gates on gameday, it is critical to make sure that you are in the right line at the right time once you arrive at Gate A. If the football game you’re attending is a White-Out game again Ohio State or Michigan, you’ll need to be at the gates well before they open. Gates always open two hours before kickoff, so you may want to arrive at Beaver Stadium a half hour before they open to ensure that you get the seats you want. However, if we aren’t playing against a Big 10 team, then you can arrive well after the gates open and still get your “S” zone seats.

On the left is a picture from my first year at PSU in the “S” zone with my friends, including Kelly (Team F mentor) and Makaela (Team E mentor).

Standing in the correct line is the most important step to landing those awesome seats. When you arrive at Gate A, you’ll see approximately 10 lines, each with metal barricades leading to little white trailers. One or two of the trailers will have a giant, blue “S” sticker on the side of it, and that will be the line you need to stand in. Once you receive your ticket, it should say section SE or SF on it. As long as the view from your seat looks directly between the goal posts on the south endzone, then you’re in the “S” zone. Sometimes, if you arrive too late yet are in the correct line, you might not get into the “S” zone (though it is rare for this to happen as long as you plan ahead). Usually, the shirts are handed out right before the game starts. Also, you’ll get a special pom-pom that is either solid white or blue depending on the shirt you recieve.

The “S” zone isn’t always blue and white. During the homecoming game, the “S” zone turns black and pink to represent Penn State’s original school colors. As the story goes, black and pink Penn State flags were flown all over campus, but after years in the sun, they faded to blue and white. Thus, the University decided to make blue and white our school colors. Also, one football game per year is dedicated to THON families and fundraising efforts, and the “S” zone is extended to include a golden ribbon. Those golden “S” zone shirts are extremely rare to obtain and extra special to get. 

On the right is a picture from my sophomore year at the Homecoming football game. Team F and Team E mentors are present again!

I challenge all WEPOteers reading this blog post to sit in the “S” zone at least once during your years at Penn State. Not only is the view great, but the extra layer of clothing will keep you warm during a cold and rainy game.

How to dress cute for football games on a budget

As you probably know, football games are a big part of the Penn State culture.  What you might not know is that basically every other Saturday is a mini fashion show.  No, there are no red carpets or spotlights, but instead there are rows of trucks and tents and, if you are lucky, a blazing hot sun.  Finding the perfect outfit for a football game can prove challenging, especially freshman year when you don’t have all of last years outfits to fall back on.  In this blog post I will talk about some tips on how look cute for football games and not spend all the money you earned this summer on a couple of outfits.  

Tip #1: Cut your own T-shirts.  Cut t-shirts are always a good go-to look for tailgates and football games.  Cut shirts are especially nice for the first few games of the season aka the only time that you can have exposed skin and not be afraid of catching pneumonia.  If you walk down College Ave you will see so many cute and trendy shops with adorable Penn State cropped T’s. Well if you want to spend $32 on a t-shirt no judgement, trust me I have been tempted to do so before, but if you want to recreate the same look, just keep walking down the street to McLanahan’s. If you don’t know about McLanahan’s yet, you will soon because even though it is probably one of the most overpriced convenience stores you will ever go to, it is also the place that has the most reasonably priced selection of t-shirts.  Don’t get me wrong some of the other stores downtown have cheaper shirts (Lion and Cub is another good one,) but McLannys (as some of us like to call it) will reliably have a huge selection of basic Penn State t-shirts in every size you might want. (Quick tip: if you are small enough – children’s shirts are a lot cheaper than adults!) Once you buy the shirt just go on Pinterest, or if you don’t know how Pinterest works like me, go on google images and search cut t-shirts. There are so many pictures with instructions! Just find a sharp pair of scissors and have fun.

Tip #2: Cheek Tattoos, don’t move ‘em.  If you have ever been to a PSU football game you will see that a lot of women sport the Penn State cheek sticker tattoos.  I am pretty sure that I have worn one for about 90% of all the football games that I have attended. I know they are mainstream and maybe that is not your style but let me tell you they are CUTE.  This tip may sound pretty obvious but I wish someone had told me because it took me a couple of times to learn my lesson. The tip is once you put the sticker on, don’t move it. Once you take it off it does not stick nearly as well when you put it back on.  You probably can get away with one adjustment but after that leave it be, especially if you are wearing foundation. I made the mistake of moving my sticker too many times and those stickers are not cheap, so don’t waste them! (I once glued a sticker on that I had moved too many times with eyelash glue, which worked pretty well if you get desperate.)

Tip #3: Dress for the weather.  This tip has less to do with saving money on clothes but more to do with saving money on medical bills.  If you didn’t know Penn State gets cold, like really cold. I thought I knew that coming into college, but growing up in Virginia I do not think that I accurately grasped how cold it would be in October (snow in October? Who knew?)  Even though I was naïve about how fast it would get cold in Pennsylvania, that actually became an asset to me. All of my friends who were used to colder weather would tell me I was silly for bringing a sweatshirt and a coat to games.  Well when my roommates’ lips turned blue and she had to miss a solid 30 minutes of the game warming up in the bathroom, I thought to myself “who is silly now.” Never worry about bringing a coat, if you don’t wear it, just put it under your seat.  Looking cute is not worth getting sick. You are in college now, you have enough to be dealing with without trudging across campus to University Health Services.  

Tip #4: Do not wear nice shoes.  As I am sure you know, shoes are very expensive.  As someone who loves shoes very dearly and spends way too much money at DSW, I get very sad when my shoes get messy.  And when I say messy I mean covered in mud or even ketchup. Tailgating and standing in the student section come at the risk of muddy fields and lots of people messily eating food, so save those cute new shoes you bought for another day.  On the other hand, don’t wear shoes that are uncomfortable because standing for a day in uncomfy shoes is torture and you don’t deserve that. I recommend flip flops for warmer games and boots for when it gets colder that you can clean easily.  

Tip #5: Don’t be afraid to be yourself.  Don’t ever feel like the clothes that you brought from home are not cute or “hip” enough to wear to a football game.  You don’t need to buy a whole new outfit each weak! Wear what you are comfortable wearing and what you want to wear. Just be you and enjoy one of, in my opinion, the best parts about fall semester!

I can’t wait to meet you at WEPO and I hope that you enjoy Penn State football as much as I do!

Ideas for some good meals/snacks in your dorm!

I am all about food and having some fuel during a long lecture or grinding sesh keeps me going. So when you need a little pick me up or do not want to go to the dining halls hopefully these tips can help you out! 

The typical college meal people think of is ramen. Those microwavable meals like macaroni and cheese, ramen, and soups are okay in a pinch but they are not the healthiest options. Keep in mind most of the dorms have a kitchen with a stove and oven that you can cook in. Depending on the location you might have to request to use it but remember you must bring your own cooking equipment. So if you would like to make pancakes or bake cookies sometimes you would need your own pans (and stuff to clean it with too). If you feel adventurous get together with friends and make a pizza or a batch of cookies for a study night in, sometimes it's just fun to get together and cook with your friends. 

Breakfast ideas: 

I am definitely a breakfast girl and some people are not big breakfast people but these ideas can be used as snacks too. A lot of mornings when I did not feel like going to the dining hall I would make microwavable oatmeal. This is super easy and you can either make your own or just buy the packets. Yogurt and granola was another easy staple in the morning which is fast and can be easily customized with some fruit. Bring cereal! Definitely was my addiction for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert sometimes. If you like eggs in the morning it can be done in a microwave but I will say the dining halls do have pretty good make your own omelettes. 

Lunch ideas:

For lunch I typically make a sandwich if for some reason I don’t go to the dining hall. Peanut butter and jelly is super easy but if you have more space in your fridge to keep some meat and cheese it can make a more filling sandwich. If you have your classes straight through lunchtime I definitely recommend packing a snack or even a sandwich to hold yourself over until after. Or even have a late breakfast at the commons if your schedule permits!

Snack ideas:

Popcorn is a great snack also of course it is perfect for a movie night. I really like peanut butter energy bites. They are super easy to make and are pretty sweet. They are good for on the go too! Definitely keep some fruit on hand. If you go to the buffets you can take an apple or banana on the way out and save it for later! 

If you keep some of these on hand in your dorm it will be easy to fuel up and stay focused. You can just eat at the dining halls or the hub all of the time but I found that it was nice to switch it up and of course save a little money! Hopefully these staples help and spring up new ideas as you are planning on what you will need for college.

Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone to Make the Most of Freshman Year

Penn State is a HUGE place. The opportunities here are exciting and practically endless! Sometimes it can be intimidating to step out there and make the most of everything Penn State has to offer, but the rewards are worth it! Here are some tips for getting out of your comfort zone and having an amazing freshman year:

1. Practice doing things on your own

Independence is both exciting and a little scary. In college, you’ll do more things on your own than ever before...depending on your schedule, some days you might go grocery shopping, workout at the gym, or eat lunch/dinner at a different time than your friends, and that’s okay! It’s important to spend time with other people, but it’s also good to learn to be comfortable with just yourself. Having more independence helps you get a stronger sense of who you are as a person, and can also open doors that you may otherwise have been hesitant to step through, like starting an exciting research position, or even accepting a summer internship away from home.

Pictured: Becoming a more independent person over the past year empowered me to study abroad this summer and travel on my own internationally, something I never thought I could do!

2. Talk to people!

Talk to people down the hall in your dorm, sitting next to you in class, in line at the dining hall...really, pretty much anywhere! Penn State students come from so many different backgrounds and do so many cool things--one of the university’s greatest assets is its 40,000+ students! And remember, every freshman is in the same boat--everyone’s looking to meet people, and starting a conversation with someone might just make their day too! Club meetings are also a great place to talk to new people, especially upperclassmen—they are all passionate about their club and love to talk to new people! Building your network from the start is a great way to build friendships and learn from the people around you.

3. Try something new

Okay, I know you’ve heard this one before, but that’s because it’s great advice! There’s so much going on at Penn State that finding something new is easy (and fun!). Whether it’s joining an IM sports team, trying Lebanese food for the first time, or signing up for a stained glass art class, you never know what you might find and love. Plus, you’ll grow as a person and develop a more open, curious mindset. 

Pictured: You don’t always have to join a club or make a huge time commitment to try something new. Despite not being much of a sports person, I attended my first ever wrestling match with a few friends last year and had a really exciting experience. (Image Credit: Max Petrosky, The Daily Collegian)

I encourage you to keep some of these things in mind this year and give them a try! You may be surprised to find just how much opportunity there is at Penn State, and how much you are capable of accomplishing. Best of luck--I can’t wait to share these next few years with all of you!

Getting Involved in a THON Organization

THON is integrated throughout the culture at Penn State. If you are looking to get involved, you won’t have to look far!  You will hear a lot about “committees” and “orgs” in reference to how people are involved in THON.  My co-mentor Maria wrote an amazing blog post about how to get involved in the committees that run THON weekend so if you are interested in working on a team for the logistics of THON weekend, check it out!

       But, I want to tell you about the benefits of joining an Org where you can find a various levels of THON engagement depending on your interest!  While committees work all year to organize and execute the logistics of THON weekend, Orgs participate in supporting the mission through fundraising, dancing, and sponsoring THON families throughout the year.

       There are two types of THON organizations:  Special Interest Orgs and affiliated Orgs. While they are slightly different in structure, they share the same goals of fundraising and supporting THON families!  The only difference is for a Special Interest Org, THON is their main focus. Springfield is an example of a large group dedicated to building THON community and raising a TON of money for THON each year!

       An affiliated organization is usually a THON team that is affiliated to a larger club or organization. For instance, in my time at Penn State I have been a part of Club Volleyball THON, EHOUSE THON, and SWE THON.  I love being a part of an affiliated organization because it gives me an opportunity to bond with my already established community in a new way.

However, my absolute, for sure, favorite part about being part of the organization is sponsoring THON families. Depending on your org’s size and contributions, you can sponsor a family or two which means you have a family you are dedicated to supporting!  We get to communicate with the family weekly, organize hang-outs, and celebrate with them at THON if they are able to be there. 

       Not only that, but based on your organization’s status, you are given a number of dancers to elect to represent your organization at during the 46 hours of no sitting and no sleeping during THON weekend and be on the floor with all the families.  And let me tell you, dancing should be its own blog post it is such a coveted experience.  To tangibly see evidence of the impact you are making through your contributions to THON through caring for your families and being in the arena at THON, is one of the most impactful feelings you can experience.

       Not only do I love my THON families, I love my THON community.  I have met some of my best friends through these organizations.  It is special to be around so many people who share our values and are unified by the same mission.  Here is a photo of EHOUSE THON canning during trick-or-treat weekend!

Like I mentioned, fundraising is one of the key focuses for organizations. Canning used to be one of the ways we did that. While the rules are changing about how we fundraise in the future, the passionate community never fails to provide us with a whole bank of new activities to try out in the new year!

As you can see, Penn State loves THON so much it is integrated into the many clubs and organizations you are already a part of on campus. This is a special opportunity to bond with your communities in a new way while championing the THON mission. THON has been a defining part of my Penn State experience and I am so glad I can share that with you.

Getting Involved in a THON Committee

       Getting involved in a THON committee is super easy when you first come here to Penn State. Before I had even stepped onto the campus for my fall semester freshman year, I knew I wanted to be involved in THON in any way I can. Everyone kept talking about how I could join a committee or an organization to be a part of THON. So, I joined both! But what's the difference? I'm going to get into some of the details of being on a THON Committee!

Committees are teams that work together in order to make THON happen. Without committees, there wouldn’t be a THON weekend. There are various committees, each with their own purpose and role before, during, and after THON weekend. Being on a committee lets you experience that magical weekend of bringing families and students together to make a difference in the lives of children.

Committees:

• Communications
• Dancer Relations
• Donor & Alumni Relations
• Entertainment
• Finance
• Hospitality
• Merchandise
• Operations
• Public Relations
• Rules & Regulations
• Special Events

It’s very easy to be a part of the largest student-run philanthropy in the world! In order to get started, visit think.thon.org and read up on the committee member descriptions. That page will give you a better understanding of what each committee does and how much each committee impacts THON weekend. In September every year, the committee member applications will be available and all you have to do is fill out the application of why you want to be a part of THON and why you would like to be on a committee, then submit the application online as well as in person at the HUB! It’s so simple to fulfill THON’s mission of conquering pediatric cancer!

Not only will you be helping fight against pediatric cancer, you will meet amazing new people! I didn’t just become part of a committee; I became part of a family! Both of my committees were the best times of my college years. I was on R&R both years and they have been the best experiences of my Penn State career. My freshman year committee was called SatuR&Rday Night Liv and my sophomore year committee was called the BeckyaR&Rdigans (I came up with the name hehe)! If you have the opportunity to be a part of something amazing and make a difference in children’s lives, being on a committee is an impactful experience that you won’t regret!

Classroom Tips

The first day of classes can always be stressful! On a campus as big as Penn State’s, it can seem especially overwhelming with the vast amount of students walking around. Coming from an extremely small high school, this was definitely intimidating for me. From my experience through four semesters as a student at Penn State, I have highlighted some important tips that have helped me and will hopefully help make this transition slightly less significant for incoming students.

Find (and go to) your classroom buildings ahead of time!

I would first like to recommend looking up exactly where on campus the buildings of your classes are located and physically finding them prior to the first day. It is super helpful to know exactly where you are walking to during the day, as it can be super crowded (and if you have classes back to back you don’t have too much time to dawdle). Since WEPO ends on Friday and classes don’t start until Monday, you have all weekend to explore the campus (and your mentors would be more than happy to accompany you)! 

Get there early!
In terms of the actual first day of classes, try to get to your classes a few minutes ahead of time! Students usually try to get there early -- especially the first few classes --  as it can get really crowded and they want to ensure that they can easily find a seat (and oftentimes people save seats for friends!) With that being said, however, there is no need to get there too far in advance, as there is a 15 minute period between all classes. This means that the earliest you can get inside your classroom is 15 minutes prior to the starting time.

Sit close to the front!

When considering bigger classes, commonly referred to as lecture halls, it is most helpful sitting closer to the front. Yes, this means walking all the way down the steps, which you are later going to have to walk right back up. On the surface this seems way less appealing than just finding an empty seat in the back, but sitting in the front is very important for several reasons. First, it keeps you more engaged in the class. Second, the professor is more likely to remember your face (which is always a good thing -- remember, they are the ones who have the final say on your grade!) Third, it minimizes distractions. Sitting in the back allows you to be able to see every laptop screen watching netflix or browsing the internet in front of you which can be easily distracting. Sitting in the front -- rather towards the front -- eliminates all of the distractions of the people sitting behind you.

Make friends in your classes!

Walking into classes first semester freshman year, you are not expected to know anybody (and most everyone doesn’t). I would like to advise everyone to not be afraid to talk to a random person. Having a friend in the same class as you makes the class slightly more tolerable (someone to sit with, ask questions with, study with!) Hopefully, you will recognize a whole bunch of girls from WEPO in classes and you can try to sit/study together (I know I did!) 

Last and most importantly, GO TO CLASS! :)

Professor Relations

Hey guys! My name is Caitlyn Martin and I am a junior in Engineering Science, and a Team i Mentor! We all know how stressful it might feel to walk into your classes the first week of school- we’ve all been there! There are so many new people to meet, things to learn, and skills to use!  But one of the best ways to not only get ahead academically but also get comfortable with your classes early is to create relationships with your professors! At first they might seem intimidating, but all professors at Penn State want you to succeed in their class if you put in the effort. There is always a way; what’s the key? Finding that way.

 Instead of waiting for homework, quizzes, or exams to be graded to figure out if you are succeeding, start earlier by going to office hours and asking questions! Professors are skilled in determining if you truly understand the material, and in my experience, asking one question brought up ten other questions I wouldn’t have otherwise thought about. Talking out ideas and concepts with an expert is one of the best ways to grasp a clear understanding. Plus, certain professors might even give you a couple hints on future assignments! :-)

In addition, making good relationships with professors, especially in your relevant-to-major courses, opens doors to an abundance of new opportunities. Many of your instructors are involved with research, and interested students often find themselves with offers to work for them or someone related if they have demonstrated the right qualities in the classroom. Networking with professors in your department also opens up opportunities to receive letters of recommendation, which can be a crucial advantage as a freshman! This network is also available for use and growth throughout your entire college career, so starting early may help you tremendously in the long run!

Making relations with your first professors can cause a domino effect in creating endless opportunities. So, even if you might be a little nervous at first, go up to your professor before or after class and just start with an introduction! You won’t be the only one, and putting a face to a name will help your professor remember you in the future. Then, throughout the first week, try to get to their office hours. If some overlap with classes, you can always email them asking to set up an extra appointment. All of these steps will let them know you are eager and motivated to succeed, and will start you off well in your “weed-out” classes!

Creating a Good Study Schedule-

Your first few days on campus are going to be novel and fun, while you explore everything Penn State’s campus has to offer.  But after those first few days, you are going to need to sit down and create a livable schedule. While college offers so many amazing experiences, the reason we all come is to learn and earn a degree.  In order to get the most out of your college experience, you are going to need to do some planning and time management.  

This is harder than it seems. Finding the perfect balance of studying and life is a challenge.  That’s where your mentors can help! We are here to talk and offer advice whenever you need. 

The first step to success is to create a great schedule.  It doesn’t matter if it’s a planning book, google calendars or some other planning material you like.  I personally kept a written planner and used google calendars. I used my written planner to write homework assignments and daily tasks, and I use google calendars for my classes and time sensitive events.  I also always make sure to keep my notifications on, so I get pinged before each event.  

Second, figure out your class schedule and add that to your planner right away. This allows you to see how much time you have for other activities, like going to the gym, eating and studying.  I always like to plan the times I go to the gym and eat into my schedule because it keeps me accountable.  

Third, when planning your schedule, it can help to consider the number of credits each class is.  This is because the number of credits correlates with how much time should be spent on that class, outside of class.  For example, a 1 credit class is not going to need nearly as much time as a 4 credit class. Knowing this can help you plan study times for each class accordingly.  


Fourth, take a day each week to plan for the upcoming week.  I like to plan on Sunday’s as they are usually more relaxed, and I can grab a cup of tea and a snack while I plan.  This also gives me an overview of the week ahead. Planning the whole week can also bring to your attention big projects or events that may have slipped your mind.   I find it very helpful and calming to know my week before going to bed on Sunday night.  

Planning your study times is important.  Instead of squeezing in time for cramming, plan out in advance a study schedule.  It is helpful to set time aside to go to the library or a study space. I do not recommend studying in your room.  Your dorm is going to have a lot more distractions and it will be easier to stray away from studying. I know from experience- short study breaks that lead to two hour naps are NOT productive! However, the choice is yours, make sure you are comfortable and can grind out all the necessary work.  If you do not want to leave your dorm, there are study lounges in basically all the dorms too! 

I also like to plan what am going to accomplish each study time.  When I sit down in the library, I make a list of what I need to accomplish and then number each one based on priority.  This helps me make sure I am completing the most urgent and important things. If I do not get to things lower on my priority list in that specific study session, it will be okay. 

Finally, all this planning is great and writing down your plan is an awesome way to keep yourself accountable and productive.  However, be willing to adapt. Each week will bring different workloads, different test schedules and different extracurriculars.  Allowing yourself to change and adapt throughout the week will be important to your success.

Gyms and Fitness Classes

There are 3 gyms that all students have FREE access to on campus! There is one gym near the East dorms - Intramural Building, another near the Pollock and South dorms - White Building and one near the West and North dorms - Rec Hall.  After living in west for my first two years, Rec Hall is my personal favorite! Each of the gyms have a wide range of equipment including weights, treadmills, and an ab workout station with mats. Equipment such as basketballs, volleyballs, and squash rackets is free to sign out and use at any gym as well. You almost never have to worry about if you will make it to the gym before it closes since they are open pretty much anytime you would want to go! For example, the Intramural Building is open until 12 am sometimes!  Pro tip: don't forget your student ID when heading to the gym - you will have to swipe it to get in!

The Intramural Building (or "I.M." as the locals say it) is where most of the intramural sports happen! (shocking I know - we are good at naming things)  In this building there is a regular gym with courts, the weight room that also has tons of treadmills, ellipticals, and bikes, squash and racquetball courts, and an indoor track that you can use all year around.  You can sign out equipment to use while you are there like basketballs or squash rackets for free. This is the newest of all the gyms and is definitely the fanciest and the biggest! You will almost never have to wait for a spot on equipment at I.M. Although it is far walk (unless you live in East Halls) you get TWO workouts - one while you are walking to the gym and the other while you are actually at the gym! Or you could take the bus over to make it to a workout class! Along with intramural sports this gym has a bouldering wall and a climbing wall that you can become certified on or just have some fun trying it out with your friends!

The next gym building is the White Building.  Inside this gym there is regular gym, weight room and a pool!  Along with the gym and pool, a bunch of fitness classes are held in this gym.  Also be sure to check out the INCREDIBLE gymnasts that practice in this building! I don't think I could ever flip like that! White Building is located in central campus so it can be a great place to grab a workout between classes!

Now, onto my favorite of all the gyms.  Honestly, I think it became my favorite gym because it was the closest to my dorm - lol!  In this gym the AMAZING Penn State Women's Volleyball team plays in the fall (you can get in for FREE).  Many gym courses are held here. Besides all the other amazing things you can do here there is a regular gym, weight room,  and an indoor track students are able to use year round!

Along with all the gyms located on campus each gym holds different exercise classes you can participate in!  These classes range from swimming, to yoga, to HIIT and cycling! A super popular class is Power Remix which is like Zumba but with current and popular songs! Going to PowerRemix is a great way to relax and have a big dance party with your friends. So there is something for everyone!!  A pro tip: when you want to go to a class search 'PSU gym classes' and register online beforehand to make sure you get a spot. This doesn't apply to all of the classes just the more popular ones, such as cycling. There is also a description of these classes online. The schedule changes each semester so make sure to check which ones fit in your schedule! You can also check how crowded each gym’s weight room is online to find the best time to go!  Don't worry about not knowing what the class is about because each one will teach you everything you need to know while you are there and you can make some great friends trying a new class together! And if you want to go with some friends, SWE (Society of Women Engineers) has a group that goes to some of the classes!!
