Maren Dawson, WSU executive vice president, said she loves how WSU brings the Ogden community into its events.

On Oct. 13 the Swenson Pool will also be dyed purple to celebrate Homecoming. That night the Dive-In Movie at Swenson Pool, again showing “Hocus Pocus,” will be held at 7 p.m.

The WSU homecoming football game against Montana State is being held Oct. 15 at 8 p.m., following the before-game tailgate party at 6 p.m.

Mortensen explained that the Big Sky Conference gets to have one football game out of the entire conference broadcasted on ESPNU. Big Sky chose WSU vs. Montana State this year, causing the game be moved to Friday night.

Because of this, there will not be a homecoming dance.

However, this broadcast of the game will

provide an opportunity to show some purple pride and get WSU’s name out to the country.

Students who still want to attend an event similar to the homecoming dance can attend Casino Night, hosted by WSU Clubs and Organizations, where students can dress up and play card games from 6-9 p.m. on Oct. 14 in the Shepherd Union ballrooms.

The final event of homecoming this year will be WSU Salutes on Oct. 16, an event for the university to honor distinguished alumni and community members. It will take place at 7 p.m. in the Browning Center.

“I would encourage every student to get involved, come to as many events as they can and, in the process, they’ll make new friends and have new experiences,” Ferney said.

Homecoming Week isn’t just a celebration of the athletics at Weber State University, but a celebration of everything WSU has to offer.

Homecoming week is Oct. 8-15 and features many events and traditions for students and the community, all of which will be in person.

“Homecoming is the perfect opportunity to really jump in as a Wildcat,” WSU Student Body President Ben Ferney said. “They have opportunities to feel more belonging, get involved, see the traditions that set Weber State apart from other colleges and help us see why we love to be at Weber State and why we bleed purple.”

Colette Mortensen, WSU Vice President of Activities, said that the WSU Traditions Keep-

er program consists of completing 50 WSU traditions for prizes, and Homecoming Week involves a lot of those activities and traditions.

The events started Oct. 8 with the 16th Annual Outdoor Gear Sale and a showing of “Hocus Pocus” at the Wildcat Village that night.

The Homecoming Recycle Run 5K was held on Oct. 9.

Oct. 11 really got the week started with the Homecoming Pep Rally at Waterfall Plaza. That night, WSU lit the W on the mountain and students got the opportunity to become “true Wildcats” by sharing a kiss at the clock tower.

Homecoming Week is not only for students at WSU. The community is brought into Homecoming Week as well through Service Day of Remembrance. This year, community members and students can volunteer to help clean up one of Ogden’s trails, Discovery Loop, on Oct. 13 in two-hour shifts from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Kicking off Homecoming Week is the annual 5K race on campus organized by Weber State Campus Recreation Services.

The race consists of a 5-kilometer (3.1 miles) course that travels all around the Ogden campus, beginning at the Dee Events Center and ending at the Stewart Stadium. Students who don’t want to participate in the live race can register to compete virtually and submit their results online.

Winners of the race are awarded various prizes provided by Weber State and Minky

Couture, the race’s sponsor. There is also a raffle that all participants of the race are entered into. Virtual runners who submit their 5K results on the race’s webpage receive a recycled medal and t-shirt as a reward for their participation.

While it is a competitive race, it is very inclusive and all students are encouraged to participate, regardless of experience or fitness level. This event is designed to get students involved on campus and in the community, promote sustainability and healthy living and get students excited about homecoming.

“The finish line of the race is at the stadium, which is a really cool way to get students excited about homecoming, since homecoming week ends with the football game in the stadi-

um,” Rebecca Mabile, the Campus Recreation staff memeber in charge of this event, said. “In this way, homecoming week starts and ends in the same place, which is a fun way to tie the whole week together.”

The cause affiliated with this race is sustainability. The event promotes sustainable practices such as recycling, energy preservation and reduction of waste products.

“It is super important to us that we promote sustainability at all of our races. We have too much waste in our society,” Mabile said. “The racing culture itself generates a lot of waste because people are always trying to make everything cheap, disposable, and convenient for racers. We are trying our best to push against this by making our races as sustain-

able as possible to help our environment in whatever ways we can.”

Sustainability has been a major focus for Weber State in recent years and the institution has made significant efforts to reduce their carbon footprint and waste production. In fact, the university has committed to being a completely carbon-neutral campus by 2050.

Their efforts have included upgrading to more energy-efficient heating and lighting systems, eliminating fossil fuel-based processes, using renewable energy sources, setting up recycling bins all around campus and supporting environmentally friendly clubs and on-campus organizations.

“Our goal is to eventually have lots of clubs and organizations here tabling,” Davis said.

“So right now we have all the different branches of WSUSA tabling so that you can come and find ways to get involved. My hope is that this can be a jumping off point for people to find a club they want to join or find a service opportunity or find out about the events coming up.”

Traditionally, Weber State University has encouraged students to wear purple on Fridays.

So why Wednesday?

Davis said she thinks the alliteration of Wildcat and Wednesday sounds nice. “Why not do it on Wednesdays?” she said.

As for the Friday tradition, Hype Squad Representative Samantha Smith said they’re not getting rid of it; they’re just adding more and trying to get more people involved.

“We’re not planning to override it; there

are just more people on campus Wednesday,” Smith said. “We are just promoting what the school already provides.”

Davis believes Wildcat Wednesdays will help students realize that school spirit is more than just wearing purple.

“I don’t think school spirit is necessarily just athletics or things like that,” Davis said. “I think it can be about finding your passion and finding what makes you excited about Weber State.”

Wildcat Wednesdays are a new school spirit initiative officially introduced to campus for the first time this year. Started by the Hype Squad to promote Wildcat pride, students are encouraged to wear purple every Wednesday.

Members of the Hype Squad can be seen at Waterfall Plaza and in the Shepherd Union building every Wednesday with prizes and treats for those wearing purple.

The new initiative will also include a Hype Fest every month, described as a mini block party with opportunities to learn what’s happening on campus, play games and win prizes and swag.

“We really want to spread more school spir-

it and more Wildcat pride,” Hype Squad Captain Leslie Davis said. “We know that sometimes, with Weber being a commuter school, you don’t necessarily get that traditional college culture that you might be looking for, so we want to change that and make Wildcat Wednesday a place where you can come hang out, celebrate your Wildcat pride, build that pride and maybe even make friends while you play corn hole.”

Students can participate in Wildcat Wednesday by showing up and supporting or volunteering at events and by wearing purple.

“The more people we have, the better. We can talk to each other and get people to other events,” Mohammed, a junior on the Hype Squad, said.

Clubs are also encouraged to participate in Wildcat Wednesday by tabling during the monthly Hype Fests.

Wildcat defensive lineman Jared Schiess, 91, and Sione Lapuaho, 93, prepare for the snap at Stewart Stadium on Sept. 25.

By MILES SHAW Section Editor

The Weber State University Wildcats’ homecoming football game is set for 8 p.m. on Oct. 15 under the lights in the foothills of the Wasatch.

Coming off a bye week after the team’s win at Cal Poly, Weber State heads into the matchup against the FCS No. 9-ranked Montana State University Bobcats.

The Wildcats are ranked No. 19 in the FCS and sit at and overall 2–3 and 1–1 in Big Sky play.

The homecoming game is special — not just for the team, but for the fans who support the team. And with Stewart Stadium packed to the brim for its home games this year, the stands are expected to be a sea of purple.

The postponed spring season featured a

quasi-homecoming game against Idaho State University with the band coming out to play and a socially-distanced packed stadium. The Wildcats beat the Bengals 20–15 and locked up a fourth-straight Big Sky title.

“It’s really good because COVID kind of messed everything up, and I’m glad it’s kind of back to normal,” redshirt freshman running back Dontae McMillan said. “I just can’t wait because it’s the biggest game. It’s on national TV, and everybody’s going to be watching, so we have to be mentally prepared.”

The bye week was an important recovery period for the ‘Cats’ many injuries.

Freshman quarterback Bronson Barron is expected to play after missing three games with a knee injury.

The signal-caller’s return couldn’t come at a more crucial time of the season. Kylan Weisser, who started the last two contests for the Wildcats, suffered a broken fibula and will be

out four to six weeks, according to head coach Jay Hill.

Barron will step back under center and take over the Weber State passing attack that has averged 6.9 yards-per-attempt and 215.4 yards-per-game.

Kalisi Moli and Sione Lapuaho were out during the game against the Cal Poly Mustangs but are stepping back the Wildcats’ turf for homecoming.

Weber State has won the homecoming game every year since a 31–3 slaughter by Sacramento State in 2013.

However, the Wildcats’ paws will be full when taking on the Bobcats, who roll into Ogden with a 5–1 record.

The Bobcats have taken five straight wins after narrowly losing their opener at Wyoming by 3 points.

Bobcat junior quarterback Matthew McKay leads the MSU offense, which is averaging

38.0 points per game compared to Weber State’s 26.8.

McKay transferred to Montana from North Carolina State in 2020. This season, the North Carolina native is completing 67.8% of his passes while tossing 12 touchdowns to just one interception.

With the Wildcats returning to full strength on the defensive side, a battle will ensue as Weber State’s stout defense is limiting opponents to just 20.8 points-per-game.

The winner of the game will rise in the standings and position themselves to make a run at the Big Sky title.

The “Let’s Celebrate Weber State” banner is meant to spread school spirit and get students excited for school.

By RAYMOND LUCAS Reporter

Because the Weber State University campus sits on an elevated level compared to the majority of Ogden City, Ogden doesn’t have the same connection or college-town feel that other Utah cities like Logan and Provo do.

Make Ogden Purple is a movement inspired to intertwine the community and culture of both the city and the university. Amir Jackson, a member of the Weber State Alumni Association Board of Directors, has been a pioneer of leading the charge. He said the disconnect between the two is a key reason why this movement is important.

Jackson noticed that when the school hosted events, they were typically held on campus

rather than out in the community. He also browsed social media and saw how his local feed was flooded with memes and content about universities in Salt Lake City and Provo, but not Ogden.

What truly rubbed Jackson the wrong way was when the Wildcat football team was battling James Madison during the 2017 FCS Playoffs, but discussion about it was nowhere to be found, nor were local bars and restaurants showing the game.

“It was a sincere problem to me that we had a nationally-ranked team and no one was talking about it,” Jackson told Weber State Weekly, a podcast and blog dedicated to bringing fans Wildcat-related content.

Frustrated, he decided to put out a graphic with the phrase “Make Ogden Purple.” Four years later, his vision is coming to life.

On Oct. 5, the Ogden City Council and Mayor Michael P. Caldwell passed and proclaimed the initiative brought forth by Jackson and the WSU Alumni Board which officially made Oct. 11-16, 2021 “Make Ogden Purple Week,” coinciding with WSU’s Homecoming Week.

The week will include participation with the university’s Homecoming Week events, but is also meant to include more. The initiative encourages Ogden businesses and residents to find their own ways to go purple and show their WSU pride and support, like shining purple lights and signs in their windows during the week. WSU banners, flyers and art will also be found along sidewalks and power poles in downtown Ogden.

“Everyone is invited to look for creative ways to ‘purple up’ Ogden,” Jackson said. “We want this to be an authentic show of support.”

The initiative was also supposed to include a Purple Paw Parade on Oct. 9 downtown, but an announcement was sent out on the Traditions Keeper app the night before that the event was canceled due to poor weather conditions.

“Make Ogden Purple” is meant to serve as a visual reminder of the importance of the collaboration between Ogden City and WSU. Jackson said that just like those who live in Ogden feel a connection the mountains, residents should also feel a connection to WSU. “We need to come together as a community, and what better way than by showing our purple pride for the university that unites us all?” Jackson said.

Aunque el campus de Weber State se encuentra en un nivel elevado en comparación con la mayor parte de la ciudad de Ogden, no hay mucha sensación de reino en la universidad. Ogden no tiene la misma conexión o sensación de ciudad universitaria que otras ciudades de Utah, como Logan y Provo.

Make Ogden Purple es un movimiento inspirado para entrelazar la comunidad y la cultura tanto de la ciudad como de la universidad. Amir Jackson, miembro de la Junta Directiva del Weber State Alumni Association Board, ha sido el pionero en liderar esta iniciativa. Dijo que la desconexión entre ambos es una razón clave por la que este movimiento es importante.

Jackson se dio cuenta de que cuando la

escuela organizaba eventos, normalmente se celebraban en el campus y no en la comunidad. También navegó por las redes sociales y vio cómo su feed local estaba inundado de memes y contenidos sobre universidades que residen en Salt Lake City y Provo, pero no en Ogden.

Lo que realmente molestó a Jackson fue cuando el equipo de fútbol americano de los Wildcats se enfrentó a James Madison durante los Playoffs de la FCS de 2017, pero no se encontró ninguna discusión al respecto del evento ni los bares y restaurantes locales mostraron el partido.

“Para mí era un problema sincero que tuviéramos un equipo clasificado a nivel nacional y que nadie hablara de ello”, dijo Jackson a Weber State Weekly, un podcast y blog dedicado a llevar a los fans contenido relacionado con los Wildcat.

Frustrado, decidió sacar un gráfico con la frase “Make Ogden Purple”. Cuatro años

después, su visión está cobrando vida.

En el 5 de octubre, el Ogden City Council y el alcalde Michael P. Caldwell aprobaron y proclamaron la iniciativa presentada por Jackson y la WSU Alumni Board, que convirtió oficialmente del 11 al 16 de octubre de 2021 en la “Make Ogden Purple Week” (Semana de Pintar Ogden de Morado), coincidiendo con la Semana de Homecoming de WSU. La semana incluirá la participación con los eventos de Homecoming de la universidad, pero también pretende incluir más. La iniciativa anima a los negocios y residentes de Ogden a encontrar sus propias maneras de ir de color morado y mostrar su orgullo y apoyo a WSU, como brillar luces moradas y signos en sus ventanas durante la semana. También se encontrarán pancartas, folletos y arte de la WSU a lo largo de las aceras y los postes de electricidad en el centro de Ogden.

Todo el mundo está invitado a buscar formas creativas de “poner morado” a Ogden”,

dijo Jackson. “Queremos que sea una auténtica muestra de apoyo”.

Se suponía que la iniciativa también incluiría un Purple Paw Parade el 9 de octubre en el centro de la ciudad, pero la noche anterior se envió un anuncio en la aplicación Traditions Keeper de que el evento se cancelaba debido a las malas condiciones meteorológicas.

“Make Ogden Purple” pretende servir de recordatorio visual de la importancia de la colaboración entre la ciudad de Ogden y WSU. Jackson dijo que, al igual que los que viven en Ogden sienten una conexión las montañas, los residentes también deben sentir una conexión con la WSU. “Tenemos que unirnos como comunidad, y ¿qué mejor manera que mostrando nuestro orgullo morado por la universidad que nos une a todos?” dijo Jackson.

Along with other Homecoming Week traditions, Weber State University holds an annual movie night. This year the movie was held at Wildcat Village in Stewart Wasatch Hall on Oct. 8. Many Wildcats were in attendance to watch a Halloween movie titled “Hocus Pocus.” There were close to 100 students in attendance.

WSUSA Entertainment Chair Emily Sorenson said there are usually movie nights at Weber annually.

“These activities are a great way for the community to all come together for a free movie and popcorn,” Sorenson said.

The original plan was to hold the movie in the village courtyard, but was moved indoor due to poor weather conditions. The lights were dimmed and popcorn was handed out to all the students sitting around the projector displaying the film on one of the walls.

Tenda Hogue, a sophomore student, attended the movie with a group of six friends.

“I like movies and the cozy feeling when everyone gets together as a community,” Hogue said.

The same movie will be shown again this as part of the Homecoming Week festivities on Oct. 13, but in a different setting. Following past traditions, the movie will be shown at the Swenson Pool on campus at 7:30 p.m.

The Dive-In Movie, as it is formally called, has been a tradition in past Homecoming Weeks, but took a break last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, where the movie was shown on the football field so students could social distance.

strong roots is by participating in WSU traditions.

Collinwood said they are happy to keep to traditions and many of them are for current students, former students and associates as they celebrate the school together.

Kandice Harris, University Archives coordinator, said, “The first official homecoming was held on Nov. 11, 1938 at 9 p.m. in the Weber Dance Hall.” The history of WSU homecoming activities is 83 years in the making. Although the dance will not be held this year, many of the other traditions will continue.

A list of these traditions can be found on the WSU alumni website or on the WSU Traditions Keeper app.

According to the Alumni Association website, the WSU Traditions Keeper app helps students to connect through involvement. Out of the 50 traditions that are listed on the app, only 10 are limited because of COVID-19.

COVID has changed things in the past two years, but many traditions prevail. School pride remains deeply rooted and Weber will continue to celebrate its history.

Weber State was originally founded in 1889 as Weber Stake Academy. In 1933, it became a junior college, and in 1991, officially became Weber State University. With 132 years of robust history, the school has many traditions.

This year will be the 52nd Annual Homecoming Awards Program. Nancy Collinwood, executive director of Alumni Relations, said, “WSU salutes all alumni and friends of the university.”

The event honors former associates and alumni of Weber and celebrates their accomplishments. WSU Salutes is “celebrating that

feeling that is uniquely Weber State,” Collinwood said.

The alumni association continuously finds ways to connect current and former students and is a powerful networking tool. Like a large tree with many branches, all past and present students share the same roots in Weber State.

Students will experience a sense of pride in this history and connection by attending WSU Salutes on Oct. 16 from 6-9 p.m.

The reception begins at 6 p.m in the Shepherd Union Atrium and the award ceremony begins at 7 p.m in the Val A. Browning Center.

This event is free and open to the public. It will also be broadcast live via Facebook.
