The Jon M. Huntsman School of Business is planning to propose an increase in differential tuition of $20 per undergraduate, upper-division credit hour for the next three years. By the 2017-2018 school year, undergraduates would pay $60 per upper-division credit hour. The increase for graduate students is a $40 per credit hour increase per year. The school will be holding town hall meetings Dec. 2-3 in the O.C. Tanner Lounge to answer student questions before the proposal is brought to the USU Board of

Trustees and the State Board of Regents this spring. Dave Patel, associate dean of student and external affairs for the business school, said the current differential tuition rate brought in almost $6 million this year, but in order to stay competitive and keep up with market forces, the Huntsman school sees a need for a raise. “What we’re focused on is our aspirations to make a top-tier program,” Patel said. “Just like anything else in life, quality has a cost associated to it.” Differential tuition was introduced to the business school in 2007. Currently, all students enrolled in business courses pay $2 per credit hour for lower-level

business courses and $97 per credit hour for upper-division business courses. Administrators from the business school will meet with the business council in January, the USUSA Executive Council in early February and the USU Board of Trustees and the Board of Regents in March. Patel said the school is restructuring its undergraduate core curriculum, which calls for the addition of five new classes. The school also plans to add a minor in real estate as well as other electives. With a 16 percent enrollment increase since 2007, Patel cites a need to hire more faculty to accom-

Examining the Koch Scholars Program 4By Brenna Kelly staff writer

Seventy-five applications sat in a pile on Professor William Shughart’s desk with 75 students all wanting to hear the same words: “Congratulations! We would like you to participate in Utah State University’s Koch Scholars Program.” The Jon M. Huntsman School of Business website defines Koch Scholars Program as “a select group of intellectually curious faculty and students ... who are interested in how politics and economics affect individual freedom and responsibility.” Each semester, 15 students are admitted to the Koch Scholars Program, funded by the Charles G. Koch Foundation (CGK Foundation). A businessman and philanthropist, Charles Koch, is chairman of the board and CEO of Koch Industries and co-owns the company with his brother, David Koch.

According to the Forbes list of “The World’s Most Powerful People,” the Koch brothers have built a $43.6 billion empire. Their product interest ranges from the Dixie cup to Stainmaster Carpet. The Koch Brothers have made frequent appearances in the news lately with headlines like “Animal Rights Groups Claims Abuse by Koch Foods” from CBS Local, “The Koch Brothers Sneak into School” from Huffington Post and “The Koch Network Spent $100 Million This Election Cycle” from the National Journal. When asked whether he considered their ethics to be in question, Professor Shughart declined to answer. Another professor, however, did answer. “I don’t even know who the Koch brothers are,” said Chris Fawson of the economics and finance department. “Do they have names?” Fawson was a Koch Professor for four years and is an advocate for the program.

“I think it’s one of the best mentoring opportunities on campus for students from across campus. ... I loved doing Koch Scholars,” he said. With Charles G. Koch Professor of Political Economy Randy Simmons, Fawson played a critical role in introducing the Koch Scholars Program to USU. “The program was founded by Randy Simmons and Chris Fawson,” said Shughart, who is now a Koch Professor. “We are not influenced one bit by the Koch Brothers. They finance this program because they like what we do. We’re not doing what they want us to do. They like what we do. They fund us, I don’t know, probably $80,000 or $100,000 a year. But all the money goes to books, to food and stipends.” The foundation grant agreement with USU includes a provision that the Koch foundation be involved in reviewing candidates for tenure-tracked professor positions and requires that those hired

with Koch funding follow certain objectives and principles, which are outlined in the agreement. In this instance the CGK Foundation, an outside entity, has the ability to reject or approve the hiring of certain university staff. Under in Section 2(c)(iii) of Terms of Agreement, it reads, “USU agrees to recruit and maintain the Professors in accordance with the Objectives and Purposes.” “Many of our best students have participated in (Koch Scholars),” said Michael Lyons of the political science department. “Some have liked it. Some have walked away as critics. And, you know, I don’t think it’s in any sense harming our students.” The Koch Brothers are characterized by their conservative orientation, Lyons said, and it strikes him as “highly unfortunate” to see its influence at a university in one of the most conservative states in the country, “where the last thing

in the world we should be doing is reinforcing conservative ideology.” “I don’t think ideology belongs in a university,” said Lyons. “The exploration of values does, but ... the worst thing you can do is simply conform to the existing cultural environment of the state, to reinforce everything everybody thinks already. That accomplishes nothing in terms of teaching students critical thinking.” It has been suggested that Koch Scholars impedes on the free exchange of ideas by promoting certain ideologies. “I think that’s insanity,” Fawson said. “There’s no ideology that’s promoted, other than to think critically about a set of readings.” Samples of readings for the scholars include “Wealth of Nations” by Adam Smith, “Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy” by Joseph Schumpter, “Ender’s Game” by Orson Scott Card and “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins. “I did not feel manipulated into any schools of thought,” said Joslyn Olsen, a former Koch Scholar. “I will say, however, that my own beliefs about politics and government certainly evolved over the course of the semester. I believe that was a natural progression of new-found viewpoints and insights rather than any form of coercion.” Many students in the political science and economics departments participate in the Koch Scholars Program. “Political scientists have a responsibility to explore political

ideologies, and economists have a responsibility to explore ideologies of economic systems,” Lyons said. “So it’s a legitimate field of inquiry, but the question is, do scholars make an attempt to present, in good faith, all the possible ideological or value perspectives on questions? Or is there a deliberate attempt to slant things? Discussions about ideology are completely appropriate and, I think, necessary. Advocacy of ideology doesn’t belong at a university.” Lyons has never participated in the Koch Scholars Program and as such, does not necessarily believe the program advocates for certain ideology. “It would be fascinating to see what the nature of our agreement with the Koch brothers is,” he said. Of the allegations in the media against Charles Koch, Fawson said, “I think that humans are complex people that have a variety of virtues and vices. All of us have them, right? So can people write things critical of Charles Koch? Sure. He’s not perfect, right? The mere fact that they use the word ‘Koch brothers’ means nothing to me. That’s not a name. That’s not a person. That’s how you villainize people; you label them a certain way and attack the label that you’ve created.” Fawson encourages students who are concerned about participating in Koch Scholars to broaden their perspective. “Follow your own conscience,” said Fawson. “If you’re uncomfortable with what somebody does, don’t associate with them.”

Nation briefs

Kaysville, Utah

Ferguson, United States A grand jury has decided not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson for shooting black teenager Michael Brown. The announcement came late Monday night. Brown’s family said that they were “profoundly dissapointed” with the ruling.

Wilson shot Brown on Aug. 9 sparking several days of protest and demonstrations.

A 12-year-old Kaysville died Sunday after being accidentally shot by a younger sibling in their home. Although police have not released the girl’s name, neighbors have identified her as Adelaide Clinger. According to a report by KSL, neighbors and school officials at Centennial Junior High, where Adelaide attended, said the girl was very bright and a “star student.” Police have yet to release further information about the accidental shooting.

Washington, D.C. Under pressure from President Barack Obama, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel submitted his resignation Monday after receiving pressure from President Barack Obama. Amid concerns about the defense secretary’s effectiveness and broader criticism from outside about the administration’s Middle East crisis management, Obama said he and Hagel had determined it was an “appropriate time for him to complete his service.” The former Republican senator never broke through the White House’s notably insular national security team. Officials privately griped about the former Republican senator’s ability to publicly communicate policy. As of late he has been questioned whether he had the capacity to oversee military campaigns against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

Cleveland, Ohio A 12-year-old boy was fatally shot by a Cleveland police officer Saturday. According to authorities, the boy was told to raise his hands and was then shot after he pulled a pellet gun from his waistband. According to a report by the Associated Press, the boy did not point the pellet gun at police or make verbal threats. Tamir Rice, who died Sunday, was confronted by officers responding to a 911 call about a male who looked to be pulling a gun in and out of his pants.

• Logan PD requested a USU Officer respond to 1st Dam on a report of a welfare check on 8 female individuals standing on the ice. The complainant reported to Logan PD that they did not feel the ice was thick enough for people to stand on.

Water is freezing in Cache Valley, which means Utah State University’s Outdoor Recreation Program switches its focus to frozen sports. “We’re def initely still open,” said Dan Galliher, rental shop coordinator for the ORP. “There is still water sports in the winter; they are just frozen-water sports.” However, with the equipment switching surfaces comes a slight slowdown in rentals. “I think summer is definitely our busiest time,” Galliher said. “I mean, we stay pretty busy in the winter, but canoes and things like that go out a lot more than a lot of the ski stuff that we have.” Galliher said rentals at the ORP are less utilized in the winter than they are in the summer. Becky Fuyse, a student who works at the ORP, said she doesn’t think people know enough about it. “A lot of people, I think, don’t hear about us because they don’t know we’re here, like, in this little corner,” she said. The ORP will move to the Student Recreation & Wellness Center when it opens

in the fall semester of 2015. “I’m always surprised at the amount of people that are like, ‘I didn’t even know this was a thing. I’m a senior, and I’m graduating, and I didn’t even know,’” said Analyse Barker, a student who works for the ORP. “So I think once we move it will especially be (more prominent).” Information on what is provided from the ORP is available. Freshmen and first-year undergraduate and graduate students receive $10 credit toward rentals, and all students get a 35 percent discount on rentals. “We have a PR guy that hits all the social media with everything, so that’s really done a lot, I think, for us,” Galliher said. He said, winter doesn’t slow down completely for the ORP. Certain times are busy. “Snowshoes are huge,”Galliher said. “Whenever it snows, those things go out like crazy, and we have a whole bunch of them.” That was something that Barker echoed. “Once it snows for real, we should be busy,” Barker said.

STUDENT LIFE Behind the Bulls

The origin of Main Street’s ‘Aggie Stampede’ 4By Miranda Lorenc senior writer

Annie Hall photos

Every November, eight colorful fiberglass bulls on Main Street don tutus around their 90-inch waists anticipating Cache Valley Civic Ballet’s “The Nutcracker.” “It has been a fun way to draw attention to our performances,” said Christy Grove, the secretary for the board of directors and prop manager for the ballet company. The bulls, affectionately known as the “Aggie Stampede,” were installed two years ago honoring the 40th anniversary of the Center for Persons with Disabilities. “What we hoped to do was draw people to come and see the bulls,”

said Shane Johnson, development officer for the CPD, “poke around, see what they’re about, get drawn to our website and see all the work that we’ve been doing the last 40 years.” The center opened in 1972 as a school for students with disabilities and later turned into a place for research where people with disabilities can receive services, Johnson said. “One of our mottos here is that disability is normal, that there’s nothing wrong with people that have disabilities; they’re just having a different life experience,” Johnson said. “Integrating them into schools is just a part of that whole philosophy.” Johnson said the idea to use bull sculptures around the city came from looking at other similar proj-

ects around Utah. “People were familiar with those types of projects, and lots of towns were having them,” Johnson said, “and so they wanted to have one, and we had an occasion coming up that we wanted to draw attention to, so we thought that would be a good way to do it.” The shape for the bulls was inspired by the statue across from Aggie Stadium titled “Meet the Challenge,” and was modified to have broader surfaces for painting and to be more approachable and kid-friendly, Johnson said. “We just wanted to draw attention to the many challenges that we’ve met here at the center for the last 40 years,” Johnson said. “That was the

inspiration for it.” Installed in 2012, the bulls were sponsored and decorated by local businesses, including the USU Charter Credit Union, Cache Valley Electric and Herm’s Inn. They are bolted to concrete slabs donated by the LeGrand Johnson Construction Company and were clear coated by the Logan Downtown Alliance. “I think that most people like them. Its kind of a neat thing,” said Roger Rigby, the painting and advanced placement art teacher at Logan High School. “I’ve heard a few comments that they were neat for a minute and they wouldn’t mind if they left. I’d imagine you’d get about

Recipe review: Mini banana cream pies a simple yet impressive treat Just in time for Turkey Day, these adorable mini pies are so easy to make that they look difficult. They could easily be your saving grace for a quick, last-minute dessert that no one will guess could be so simple. As a avid hater of traditional pie crust, I love these. In my opinion, sugar cookies should be the alternative in every pie.

The Cincinnati Bearcats ended the Utah State men’s soccer season Friday in Memphis, Tennessee. Utah State lost 3-0 in the first round of the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association Championship Tournament. “We came out a little slow,” said Landon Howard, starting goalkeeper for the Aggies. “We didn’t play to our full potential at first. We came together but ended up going down as a team.” Despite the early exit from the tournament, Utah State ended the season ranked 16th in the nation, the highest rank they have received in at least 12 years. According to junior defender John Haddock, Utah State went into Friday’s game

with four injured players and four others that were sick. By halftime Cincinnati had built a 3-0 lead. “I feel like we performed well in group play,” Haddock said. “In the round of 16 we were disorganized and didn’t play well

Rained out: 4By Kalen Taylor sports editor

The Utah State quidditch club team held its first-ever tournament Saturday at 9 a.m. on the Legacy Fields in Logan, Utah. Four teams, Utah State, Boise State A, Boise State B and the University of Utah, planned to compete but left early due to cold temperatures and snow. “If it wasn’t for the rain there would have been some great competition,” said junior Dakota Briggs, one of the Utah State team captains. “I think if the tournament wasn’t called off we had a huge chance of winning the whole thing.” Two games were played before the event was officially cancelled. Utah State shut out the Boise State B team 220-0 and the Univer-

in the first half. We played better in the second, but it was too late.” The Aggies tied twice Thursday in their divisional group to knock out Delaware and advance to the first round of the 16team tournament. Utah State took on Florida State which ended in a scoreless draw and then tied 1-1 with Delaware. Delaware lost 0-1 to Florida State, leaving them in last place of the group. Although the season ended without the NIRSA National Championship, both Haddock and Howard agreed the season was a success. “This was one of the best years for USU soccer,” Howard said. “We had great chemistry. Just being here for the tournament has been a success. Our team grew together like a family this season.”

rest of USU’s coaching staff share with the team. “We’re like a family,” VanHoff said. “They’re o coaches, but they’re also our friends. We can go ta to them about anything. They care about us as pe ple and not just their players.” Freshman Hann Smith added that D Bose makes even ne players feel included the Aggies’ family atm sphere. “He stresses that i our program,” Smi said. “It’s about t whole team.

DuBose’s relaxed titude has not alwa been his style. “I didn’t used to that way,” DuBose sa “When I first started was very animated, a a coaching friend mine sat me down a said he didn’t think would help our team I acted that way. So I d cided ‘OK, if the team Ryan Costanzo photo going to be a reflecti of me, I want them show a calm reflectio I hope I portray that and the team feels that, and hope they reflect that a little bit.” DuBose added that he’s still capable of being a mated when the situation calls for it. “There are times when I’ll get upset, and I’ll ge little bit in their face. I just don’t do it often,” DuBo said. “I always call it ‘lighting somebody up.’ Ever body gets lit up at some point. I don’t care if you a walk-on or an All-American.

I can’t have you do it a bunch times in a row.” As the Aggies conclude their ninth season und DuBose Tuesday at home against Boise State, t

freshman middle blocker for Golden West Community College, Grayson DuBose had yet to consider a coaching legacy at Utah State University. The year was 1986, and DuBose’s two years as a collegiate volleyball player had only just launched the career of a man who would soon win coach of the year accolades, rewrite records and claim a national title. DuBose began coaching at Brighton High School in Sandy, Utah, in 1997 before his first encounter with Utah State University in 1999. “Tom Peterson, who’s the Weber State coach now, got the job here at Utah State, and I happened to be up here working on a master’s degree at the time,” DuBose said. “He asked me if I wanted to coach with him and so I did.” DuBose earned a job coaching the BYU men’s volleyball program in 2003, placing second in the NCAA tournament that same year. The following season, the Cougars won the national championship. “It’s kind of nice to be the last guy standing,” DuBose said. “Not everybody gets that opportunity to be the last guy who wins a match.” With a championship pedigree and a near-perpetual smile on his face, DuBose’s coaching style has earned him conference coach of the year honors twice since taking the head coaching job at USU in March of 2006. Through eight seasons with the Aggies, he is the second-winningest coach in program history.

Horoscope love forecast:

November 25 Taurus: April 20 - May 20 Mars has you making some bold moves. If you’ve been in a toxic dating situation, you’ll finally put an end to it. Good for you. If you’re single, you could make a few phone calls and send out some invites to a group of sexy friends.

Gemini: May 21 - June 21 The sun is reminding you that you need to embrace a broader life philosophy. You might think that you know everything about a certain subject, but you don’t. Your current sweetheart might be able to introduce you to a different point of view.

Cancer: June 22 - July 22 With the moon opposite your sign, your confidence could be super low. You’re convinced that nobody will ever want to date you and you’ll die living alone with twenty cats. You probably aren’t in such dire shape, so try not to panic.

Leo: July 23 - Aug. 22 You’ll be drawn to joining new social groups as Mercury increases your desire to mingle. Sign up for an interesting class, join a choral group, or pitch in at a local homeless shelter. Do something that forces you to engage with people in a new way and get out of your head.

Letters to the editor

Virgo: Aug. 23 - Sept. 22

A moody moon is putting you in one of your critical moods. You’ll be tempted to pick everything apart and outline your partner’s flaws in great detail. See if you can curb that impulse and do something more positive, like working out or taking a nature hike.

Libra: Sept. 23 - Oct. 23 You could be attracted to someone who shares your quick wit and your creative sensibility. The moon is bringing some cool people within your social orbit, and you might find yourself falling in love at first sight. Explore the vibes with this person.

Scorpio: Oct. 24 - Nov. 2 Pay attention to your intuition this week since the moon will be heightening your psychic abilities. If you have misgivings or bad feelings about someone, maybe there’s a reason for this. Or if you’re madly attracted to somebody, perhaps this person also adores you.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 - Dec. 21 You’re working at overcoming negative relationship habits, which is great. The sun is encouraging you to avoid toxic people, draining situations, or unpleasant social contacts. The important thing is to be around people who support you.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 - Jan.19 You might need to provide greater support and affection to your partner, even if you’re really busy with your own projects. The moon is showing you that a partnership requires being attentive to the other person, often when it’s not particularly convenient to do so.

coach is especially motivated to send off USU’s five seniors the right way. “This group of seniors has a chance to leave winning almost 59 percent of the matches that they’ve been in here at Utah State,” DuBose said. “I think that should motivate them to want to leave this legacy behind.”

Pisces: Feb. 19 - March 20

You might benefit from talking things over with a close friend, therapist, or counselor. You’re still sorting through some personal stuff related to life and love. The moon says keep digging through the dirt to clear things out.
