Welcome ASUSU welcomes freshman with fair-�themed week Back Special!

BY TMERA BRADLEY news senior writer

This year’s Week of Welcome combines new and traditional elements to celebrate the first week of the fall semester.

The week-�long celebra-� tion will mark the first time many students step onto the artificial turf at the new Legacy Fields.

Chaise Warr, ASUSU pro-� gramming vice president, said the grand opening of Legacy Fields will coincide with the ‘80s dance at 9 p.m. Friday.

The dance, hosted by DJ Marcus Wing, is one of the most anticipated events of the year, said Hannah Blackburn, activities director for the Student Traditions and Activities Board (STAB). “Whenever students have the opportunity to dress up, they just go all out and have so much fun,� Blackburn said.

Warr said this year’s fes-� tivities expand on many of last year’s precedents. “We’ve upped every-� thing this year,� Warr said. “We’ve upped the food, the publicity and the prizes.�

Week of Welcome began with a bluegrass band concert in the TSC Plaza on Monday. The concert featured bluegrass performers Cross Strung, Craig Miner and Forever

While new activities are being incorporated into the celebration, some favorites like Day on the Quad and the weekend dance will remain tradi-� tion. “Students from previ-� ous years look forward to those same events,� said Abigail Kingsford, ASUSU public relations director.

main floor of the buildings are empty while the developers negotiate with the retailers who will rent space there, Casillas said.

Roberto’s Taco Shop is the only retailer the developers can publicly release at this time, Casillas said.

Other shops will include a sandwich place, an Asian restaurant, a sit down restaurant and a coffee shop doubling as a convenience store. There will also be a small stage venue, he said.

Kalian said the university is work-� ing with Blue Square to possibly host other events at the venue, such as watching away games. Larger events will continue to be on campus, but smaller ones, like Poetry and a Beverage, could move to Blue Square from time to time, he said.

The apartment complex was the idea of former Aggie starting quarterback David Miller. According to an inter-� view in the July USU alumni newslet-� ter, Miller teamed up with two other former Aggies who now work in real estate to see the development through. “The developers, they went to Utah State and they came back here, and they said the housing here at Utah State looks the same here as it did twenty-�five years ago,� said Zach Larsen, who does marketing for Blue

Dean welcomes CHaSS students at Light on the Hill

BY MITCH HENLINE staff writer The College of Humanities and Social Sciences invited USU students to “Meet the Weirdos” at their second annual Light on the Hill event at the Old Main Hill Amphitheater on Monday night.

The theme for this year’s event stemmed from last year, when Dean John Allen enncouraged CHaSS students to try to “meet the weirdos.” The college decided to make it this year’s theme, said Natalie Smoot, assistant to the dean.

“One of Allen’s points is to go out and meet the weirdos… so we turned it into a campaign for A Light on the Hill,” said Smoot. “We thought it would be a fun theme for college students. Go meet the weirdos.”

In his speech, Allen encouraged students to get out of their boxes.

“As human beings we tend to aggregate to peo-‐ ple like ourselves. College is the one place you don’t have to do that,” he said.

“You get an opportunity to engage people who think differently, look

differently, talk differ-‐ ently and eat different food. Engage them. I actu-‐ ally hope that you’ll open yourselves up.”

The purpose of the event was to welcome the students back from the summer and build a sense of the community among the college, Allen said.

“I really believe that if you build community, positive things come from that,” said Allen. “We have freshman here. We have sophomores, juniors and seniors. We wanted to first say you’re part of a community of scholars.”

Dean Allen said for him, the most enjoyable part of the night was see-‐ ing the freshmen come out and watch.

“They come up and they stand at the edges, they’ve got a card, and they thought they might come, but they don’t know anyone, and we go out and we say ‘Hi, my name is John Allen,’” he said.

During the event, CHaSS clubs had set up booths for others to see what they were about. As the sun set, students were invited to sit down at the amphitheater and listen to the speakers, which included ASUSU CHaSS

Senator Trent Morrison, Dean Allen, and USU alumnus Grant Bulltail, an elder from the Crow Tribe of Montana.

Allen gave advice to new students, encourag-‐ ing them to put effort into their education.

“Push yourself,” he said. “Don’t be a passive learner. Don’t just come into the class, take the

notes, take the tests, and walk away. Challenge your professors. They like it. Challenge your peers. You’ll leave Utah State University with an entirely different educa-‐ tion. Enjoy it. This is a fun time.”

Trent Morrison spoke about the joy he has found in CHaSS and how he wants to work hard to

help the college himself.

“There are so many opportunities for stu-‐ dents to get involved and that’s the reason why I’m here today,” he said. “I got involved with CHaSS council and I’m able to be here standing here repre-‐ senting the students and really working hard to make sure that we remain the best college on cam-‐

pus.”

The event is in its sec-‐ ond year but the organiz-‐ ers are excited about the growth they have seen.

“We’ve doubled,” said Smoot, “We had 95 to 100 last year, and had over 200 (people attend) this year.”

Square.

Casillas said as a student, he experienced housing that was ideal. The idea of Blue Square is to build a community where people can relax and have fun, he said.

All amenities, including inter-� net, cable TV and utilities are built into one cost, Larsen said.

According to prices provided on Blue Square’s website, living there costs $3,100 to $6,000 for a school year.

Casillas said while some have expressed concern at the high cost, the price is comparable to other places he has lived. “I was paying about $350 a month, and on top of that split-� ting cable and internet, utilities, heating, all that, it came out to a really good amount of about $450 sometimes,� Casillas said. “I think people get the wrong perception when they see the price, but we try to convey every-� thing that you’re going to pay for is built into that price,� Larsen said.

Casillas said Blue Square is about more than just an apart-� ment complex. “You get the lifestyle that comes with it too,� Casillas said. – la.stewart65@aggiemail.usu.edu

Connections speaker discusses animal encounters

BY STEVE KENT editor in chief Education can prevent violent encounters between wild animals and humans, an author said to USU fresh-� men during the Common Literature Convocation Saturday.

David Baron, author of “Beast in the Garden,� deliv-� ered the convocation. More than 1,800 attendees heard Baron describe the interaction of wild animals and humans near urban areas. “You’ve got to educate both the cougars and the people,�

Baron said.

People should know how to avoid dangerous animals and how to react during an encounter, Baron said.

Nonlethal methods, such as shooting an animal with rubber buckshot, may be effective. While Baron said he thinks cougars as a species have a right to exist, euthaniz-� ing aggressive cougars may prevent attacks.

Baron drew his remarks from information he gath-â€? ered to write “Beast in the Garden.â€? The book describes conflicts that arose when the cougars returned to the Boulder, Colo. area after humans chased them away a century before. Over the years, public opinion regard-â€? ing the big cats has changed, he said. “Here in modern America, we have cats as big as leop-â€? ards,â€? Baron said. “They’re living in the suburbs. They’re not endangered. They’re occa-â€? sionally eating people, and yet many Americans think that’s just fine ‌ it represents a remarkable social shift in this country.â€?

As the cougars moved near populated areas, they found the suburbs welcom-� ing, Baron said. Sightings increased -�-� people saw cou-� gars kill deer in their yards and the animals were spotted in trees and downtown side-� walks, he said.

Baron said many people think humans should leave cougars alone because the animals lived on the land first. “I think that’s a really respectful attitude, but I think it’s kind of unrealistic,�

Baron said.

DAVID BARON SPOKE TO FRESHMAN students Saturday about the importance of understanding human and animal interactions in urban areas. Baron’s book, “Beast in the Garden� was this year’s Connections reading selection. CURTIS RIPPLINGER photo

By building houses in former cougar habitats, humans interact with wildlife inadver-� tently, he said. Cougars occa-� sionally make meals of dogs, cats or even deer attracted by plants in people’s yards, he said. “We can’t just say ‘leave them alone,’ because we’re not leaving them alone,� Baron said. “That’s not to say I know what the right answer is, but I think we need to have a more thoughtful conversation in our communities on how we can manage ourselves and manage the animals so we all get along.�

Organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States and the Jack H. Berryman Institute at USU teach strategies for dealing with wildlife in urban areas, Baron said. On its website, the Humane Society outlines ways in which people can modify their homes and yards to avoid unwanted wildlife interactions.

Terry Messmer, director of the Berryman Institute, said as climate change and other factors alter ecosystems, human-�wildlife conflict is likely to increase. As wild ani-� mals no longer find harbor in their traditional habitats, they may search for areas with more plentiful food and shel-� ter. “They will seek greener pastures,� Messmer said, “and

those greener pastures with the greener groceries will be backyards and urban areas.�

The Berryman Institute has been providing research, training and outreach on wildlife-�human interaction since 1993. As part of its outreach, the institute works with local and national land-� owners to solve problems with wildlife. “I field several hundred calls and emails a year from folks that have incidents where wildlife isn’t being so nice,� Messmer said Baron said during his stay, he spoke with USU student Erika Marchesini, who recent-� ly had an encounter with a mountain lion.

Marchesini, an undeclared freshman, said she was in her kitchen when she saw a moun-� tain lion on the roof of her cousin’s house in Lovelock, Nev. “It was jumping around,�

Marchesini said. “I’m not sure why -�-� it was kind of crazy.�

Her father and brother were on a camping trip, so she shot the animal to protect her fam-� ily. “It wasn’t a big deal, you just do what you have to do,� she said.

Marchesini read “The Beast in the Garden� and attended Baron’s speech as part of her Connections class. The experience prompted her think about the interaction of humans and wildlife.

“I’ve grown up around a lot of wildlife, but I’ve never con-� sidered how seriously every-� thing humans do affects their habitat and affects them,� she said. “As the higher-�thinking species, it’s the humans’ responsibility to take care of wildlife and make sure they have what they need and they have the space they need.�

Marchesini said she and Baron became acquainted in the Taggart Student Center just before they left on a 5-�mile hike near campus.

Connections Coordinator Lisa Hancock said the route was planned to show students how nature interacts with humans near urban areas.

Baron said he didn’t write about cougars to scare people or sensationalize attacks, but to start a conversation. “Cougar attacks are extremely rare,� Baron said. “You are more likely to be killed by a cow.�

Cattle, vending machines and escalators kill more people a year than mountain lions do, he said.

In a central theme of the speech, Baron said creatures in new environments can behave in unexpected ways.

Baron applied the theme to freshmen students, encourag-� ing them to try new things. “To the class of 2016, I say welcome to your new habitat,� he said. – steve.kent@aggiemail.usu.edu

Gearing up for a year of tasty observations D.Whitney Smith

Food Talk

Review Mile-high chocolate pie, toasted marshmallow milkshakes, and farm-fresh heirloom tomatoes topped with feta cheese and toasted parmesan crisps – sounds delicious, eh? These are just a few of the food creations I experimented with this summer, thanks to my recent Kindle subscriptions to Bon Appétit and Food Network magazines. I’ll talk more about these wonderful ideas, as well as my own kitchen discoveries, in a bit. First, I’d like to clear the air and rev you all up for the upcoming year in Food Talk.

Those of you who have read my column in the past will remember that I usually discuss my food adventures based on experiences I gain through visiting local Cache Valley restaurants and eateries. Don’t worry. There’s plenty of that on the horizon for this year. Some of you have even gotten so involved in my opinions that you’ve sent letters to the editor to either agree with, or repri-

D. Whitney Smith

“

I want to

experience the candor of each particular restaurant and its staff without being treated special.”

mand me for, my thoughts.

First off, I’d love to thank all who read the column – whether you agree or not, I’m just glad you read.

Second, I don’t expect everyone to have the same experiences I’ve had at any given restaurant. Rarely, if ever, have I been to or worked in a restaurant in which consistency is 100 percent. In other words, there aren’t too many restaurants that provide the same food, service and dining experience for everyone.

Besides, my intention is not to prevent others from trying something different. By all means, eat wherever you’d like.

When I visit an establishment I’m going to write about, I never inform anyone who works there that I’m going to write a review. I do this because I’d like to be treated like any other patron.

I want to experience the candor of each particular restaurant and its staff with-

out being treated special.

How else would I be able to provide readers with honest feedback?

There have been one or two occasions in the past when a reader or restaurateur has been offended by my remarks and challenged what I’ve said. I’d like to say a couple things regarding this – actually, perhaps several – bear with me.

I am a fairly easy-to-please person; therefore, it’s not exactly hard to get a good review out of me. Yet, it seems as though – and I actually wrote a whole column on this topic – I am sometimes treated like an insignificant nothing when I enter establishments in which employees are supposed to provide customer service. I am, however, going to cast aside all past reservations and keep a positive attitude.

I do not have it out for anyone, including restaurant owners and employees.

When I write my opinion, it’s exactly that: my opinion. I do not have any maligned intentions of spreading negativity.

If I write something negative about a restaurant, it’s because my experience was negative. Trust me, I like getting good service, and when I do, I will tell you about it.

After all, it’s all about great food, right?

My interest in food over the years has definitely evolved from completely hands off to totally hands on. If I didn’t have a restaurant-prepared meal, chances were that I resorted to pre-packaged fare. I’ve certainly enjoyed spending time in the kitchen – it’s by far my favorite room in the house – but I was frequently guilty of tearing open a frozen cardboard box with its unrecognizable, hard-asrock contents inside and nuking them into faint edibility.

Who hasn’t done this from time to time?

Concurrent with my enroll-

ment at Utah State University, I gradually became more and more interested in eating non-processed foods, as well as fresh and local. I’m not really a follow-the-trend sort of guy, but I certainly like food with flavor – and local is usually synonymous with fresh and flavorful.

During my summer vacation in Pennsylvania and New York, I did nothing but read food magazines, watch cooking shows and cook food.

It was the quintessential foodie’s dream. I frequented farmers’ markets and grocery stores that featured locally grown produce. Fresh basil, for whatever reason, became a passion of mine. I experimented with fresh pesto and tomato-basil pasta sauces. I even invented a smoked sundried tomato and fresh basil pesto that was to die for.

As I continue to experience food on this existential, transcendental, fundamental and elemental level, I will try to share it with you without too much regurgitation – just the stuff worth eating… I mean reading.

This year, along with writing restaurant reviews, I may throw in a column here or there in which I just talk about food. Hopefully, by the time I’m done, your mouths will be thoroughly lubricated and ready to devour ravenously any food in sight.

Goodness knows I do. I may have to switch to writing a column about exercise.

- D. Whitney Smith worked as a server, cook, bartender and lacky in 24 restaurants across the country from 1999-2010.

When he decided to hang up his apron and enroll at USU, his interest in food only increased. Now he shares his thoughts on food and dining with you. If you have any suggestions for review topics, email him at dan.whitney. smith@aggiemail.usu.edu.

Returning students seek to stay healthy

BY CALE PATTERSON staff writer

When it comes to matters of health and fitness, many USU students find the transition between summer break and the fall semester a difficult one to make.

There is a diverse population of students on campus who participate in many different types of activities. Whatever interest an Aggie is pursuing, staying healthy is usually somewhere near the top of his or her priority list, or at least on their radar.

“I work out and eat better in the win-‐ ter time, mostly so I’m able to focus better and get better grades in my classes,” said Deborah Teuscher, a senior majoring in FCHD. Jason Gudmundson, a junior and civil engineering major, said he has very different motives when he hits the gym. Rather than exercising in order to do well in school he said he is more about “just feeling good.”

“It doesn’t hurt to look good when it comes time to get in a swimsuit and hit the lake or go hot tubbing,” he said.

Students try to stay healthy for a number of reasons. Some, like Teuscher, see better results in their studies when they exercise and eat well.

Attention to health is important to the many USU students. Many Aggies think there is increased structure to their lifestyle when in school. With set class and work schedules, day-‐to-‐ day activities have less variance. As a result, there are students who can live their lives healthier.

Planning when and where they will work out ahead of time can be help-‐ ful for many students. Sophomore Melissa Meikle maintains f lexibility in her workouts, and finds time to exercise “whenever she can.”

“I only work out about every other week, but mostly because I am involved in so many other activities,” she said.

The structured lifestyle during the semester is contrasted by the freedom and versatility of the sum-‐ mer. Students return home during vacation and spend their time work-‐ ing, vacationing, staying up late or sleeping in. Some engage in outdoor activities such as hiking or boating.

Summer vacation usually carries with it much less stress and structure than the time spent involved in fall and spring classes.

These two contrasting lifestyles can be conf licting. The reaction of some students is similar at the start of fall semester. Business major Gavin Stokes, a junior, said he had difficul-‐ ties getting back into a routine once summer ended.

“It’s hard for me because school is so dang expensive,” Stokes said. “You have like no money so it is just cheap-‐ er and more convenient to buy fast food. You can also get it on the go so you don’t have to waste time buying and cooking healthier food. It is a lot less time consuming.”

He said he has the same problem

with exercise.

“In the summer you have all this free time,” he said. “With school you have more responsibility and no time.

You have to worry more about being well rested for classes. Plus, to be able to set aside a time to workout you have to rearrange your whole sched-‐ ule, so it is definitely a tough transi-‐ tion to make.”

There are many resources on cam-‐ pus and in the surrounding area to help students in their fitness goals, such as crossfit classes, local gyms and the Fieldhouse. Students can also participate in Fun, Fit, Forever and intramural sports.

Whatever the reasons a student might have for trying to stay in shape and eat well, they can usually expect some challenges as they head back to campus each fall.

TRAVEL: Students roam over break From page 5

“Our minds are always thinking. We just need time to recalibrate.�

Rice said he spent about $530 for his whole trip, including his plane ticket, because of the generosity of those around him, and the two friends’ willingness to adventure. “The car to get to the island, the kayak, sleeping on the beach, were all free for us. So it was a really cheap,� he said.

ENGLAND Madeline Newhouse, a senior majoring in elemen-� tary education, traveled with her family to England during the Olympic games but didn’t go to any events.

Instead she visited her grandparents who are serv-� ing a mission in the coun-� try.

Newhouse’s grandpar-� ents buy plots of land for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-�day Saints in England. “When you want to buy land there and there’s a house on it, you have to buy the house too,� Newhouse said. “So part of their job was also to fix up these 300-�year-�old houses and make them livable.�

On the day she and her family visited Cambridge, Newhouse said she was part of a group who “punted the Cam� or rode a shallow boat that was pullled down the river. “It was pouring rain,� she said. “It was the only day it rained really badly there and the people who sold us the tickets said they had umbrellas in all the boats, so we go down to our boat and the guy said, ‘There are no umbrellas in this boat.’�

When the boat pulled under a bridge to attempt to wait out the storm, Newhouse was on the end and got soaking wet despite wearing a rain jacket.

Newhouse said she really enjoyed spending time at Cambridge University, tour-�

ing the old buildings and going into the library. “They have a lot of really old books,� she said. “They have the first edition of the King James Bible and the original manuscripts of Winnie the Pooh. It was so cool.�

She also visited other tourist attractions like Buckingham Palace, Downton Abbey, the Tower X of London to see the Crown Jewels, the London Eye and Platform 9 3/4.

While at the Tower of London, Newhouse said she didn’t see a ghost in front of her but she certainly saw one on the screen.

630 West “In the bottom of one 20 0 Nor t h of the towers they had this 753-8875 video of the people on the upper floors and they were really there, but they also had a ghost just walking around it, so that was fun,� she said. “But the tower was so cool because that was where they kept the prisoners, and on the walls the prisoners had written things, like quotes and their names. It was all still there, from the 1600s.�

Most of the writings were religious from the extreme religious persecutions at the time. Newhouse said HIS INTERNSHIP IN WASHINGTON she was inspired by them. DURING D.C., Joshua Blume, a senior majoring in pre-law econom-

WASHINGTON D.C. Joshua Blume, a senior majoring in pre-�law eco-� nomics and international studies, spent his summer interning in Washington D.C. with lobbyist David Lee for Utah State. “We called him Mr. Lee. Always,� Blume said.

Most of Blume’s job was reading and keeping up-� to-�date on politics and the events of Capitol Hill. He sat in on meetings, read The Huffington Post, The Drudge Report and Google News every morning, as well as Congressional Quarterly, which he said was the most unbiased source of news for the capi-�

tol. “It’s written every night, and hand delivered,� he said. “It’s only printed when Congress is in session and it costs about $5,000 to about $7,000 a day.�

Blume said he also went to meetings with people from the Department of Defense about the Utah State University Space Dynamics Lab and the money they get from grants. “The amount of money in grants the engineering colleges get is in the hun-� dreds of millions,� he said. “They’re working on proj-� ects with John’s Hopkins, MIT, Stanford and then you have Utah State. They’re really good at what they do.�

Blume spent the Fourth of July on top of the mall next to the Washington Monument, and watched the fireworks burst. “I sat there for four hours of 100 degree weather,� he said. “I was not about to leave my spot. It was a front-�row seat.�

While on the East Coast, Blume said he took the opportunity to travel and see the sights. He visited Ithaca, the Shenandoah Valley and saw Wicked on Broadway in New York City. “I would love to go back,� he said. “I would visit the other side of the Shenandoah Valley, and I would like to go back to D.C.�

LATE NIGHTS: Students adjust

From page 5 noon means that I put off laundry or errands that I need to do,� he said. “Likewise, choosing to run errands dur-� ing the day when businesses are open I miss out on sleep and hanging out with friends.�

The key to keeping everything in check is time management, Wight said.

Armstrong and Manning agreed that working the night-�shift is less mentally and physically demanding than a day shift, leaving more time to do homework – if they’re alert enough. “I like the calm nights on the job,� said Armstrong. “I can often study or read a good book. It’s quiet time that I normally

wouldn’t get, and I get paid for it.�

Manning said he reccommends that students who work a graveyard shift be wary of how close together their classes and shifts are scheduled. “Don’t just work a grave, get home at 7:00 a.m., and say ‘Okay, I have a class at 8:30 a.m., so I’ll sleep for an hour and a half and then go to my class and then I’ll sleep for another hour and a half,’� she said. “Don’t do that. Don’t do napping.

Make sure that you have a solid block of time that you can sleep and feel your best.�

raised in Australia, the beautiful blonde aspired to be recognized and become successful and was signed to a modeling agency at the young age of 12 years old.

She learned early that her looks, including her body weight, would determine her success in the field.

Around the beginnings of her modeling career, she began to develop unhealthy eating habits from starving, to binging, purging and overexercising.

After moving on to an acting career, which led her to move to the United States, she continued her self loathing and unhealthy patterns.

On top of her extreme obsession with her weight, Portia was also keeping a secret - she was a closeted lesbian in an industry not yet accepting of the unconventional.

Now, I know I said I relate to this book, but it is not about my sexuality. I started modeling at 15, and though I never starred on a hit TV show about lawyers in mini-skirts, I developed an uncanningly similar self image.

When I read the first few chapters of the memoir, I actually had a lot of unpleasant flashbacks. She wrote the book in the vernacular and way of thinking she possessed when she was ill. Reading those words- the negative self talk, constant criticism, and extreme concern about what others thought of her struck a chord with me.

Portia seemed to be living the dream. She was on a hit television series, was beautiful, and appeared to have all the confidence in the world. Often, those with low self image are excellent at giving off the opposite vibe. But though she played a confident, sexy lawyer on TV, she spent her days counting calories, exercising and wearing her body to a mere 86 pounds. Eventually, after surpassing the compliments about her self control and slender frame, those closest to her knew something was very wrong.

Visiting her family in Australia over the holidays, her odd patterns were impossible to overlook. After indulging at a family dinner, she did jumping jacks in front of relatives, including her only brother, to burn off the holiday feast. Later, her brother watched her obviously extreme gym worked out and broke down in tears,

expressing his fear that she was killing herself.

For tunately, the book ends on an ex tremely positive scene. Her wife Ellen stayed up all night reading the memoir.

“Babe, you were crazy,” Portia wrote of her wife’s words.

“But I’m not anymore,” she replied.

She concludes by painting a picture, first showing images of herself at her very thin and frightening frame, Take each a stand in between shot she wrote her doctors with our diagnosis when she hit Poll. rock Online bottom. She had osteoporosis, cirrhosis www.usustatesman.com of the liver and lupus, among other critical diagnoses.

After she came out about her sexuality and finally found love, Portia said Ellen changed her life and saved her. Instead of hating herself, she now has a love and passion for life, including her work, horseback riding and the outdoors.

One in three female college students has an eating disorder. I recommend girls and guys struggling to overcome these issues read “Unbearable Lightness,” and seek help from the amazing resources we have on campus like Counseling and Psychological Services on the 3rd floor of the Taggart Student Center (I should be their PR rep at this point.) Portia completed years of therapy on her journey through recovery. The main message here, in my opinion, is there is hope for a full recovery. Portia did it, and I did it too. I haven’t counted calories in years and now I love food, but in a healthy way. I hope at least one person reading this, maybe a sophomore girl, like I was when I began recovery, will see the light at the end of the tunnel and go toward it. The grass really is greener on the healthy side.

Statesman switches to online-first focus

Today isn’t Monday.

I’ve had a little trouble keeping it straight. For years, The Utah Statesman From the filled newsstands editor with fresh issues on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. This year, we’re moving to a Tuesday-Thursday schedule, and that’s why the first paper of the year hit stands on the second day of school.

I won’t say it’s ideal. I’d like to spit out a paper every day – twice a day on special occasions. Papers across the country, however, are dropping issues that no longer generate enough revenue to support publishing costs. Over the summer, The Birmingham News, The Press-Register of Mobile and the Huntsville Times cut back to three days a week. Closer to home, BYU’s campus paper, The Universe, cut back from five days to one.

Dropping circulation and shrinking newsrooms notwithstanding, I’m optimistic for the future of written news.

Technology is changing how people get written articles, not making them obsolete. A couple of decades ago, a reader would pick up a paper, turn to page B5 and read about Madonna’s new book.

In today’s technology-saturated world, a reader will log on to Facebook, see a link to a news story, look at three photographs, chat with friends, check upcoming events, see the link again, click it and finally read the article about the latest Kardashian Instagrams. The transition to newer media forms of media isn’t a bad thing. Like all changes, it will be what we make of it and I look forward to faster and more interactive news delivery.

Print is far from dead. Most readers say they like something tangible, something they can pick up, take home, train their dogs with. People still like to see carefully designed, printed pages with interesting photos on the front and comics in the back. A few people – probably the people still reading this article – like to pick up a paper and read every article from start to finish.

At the Statesman, we hope to deliver the best news experience possible through both print and online methods.

Now the print edition has two issues a week, breaking news will appear on the website daily. Sports stories will appear minutes after the final buzzer. In the print edition, only the best articles will make the cut. When readers want news quick, we’ll get it to them quick. When readers want in-depth stories, the print version will be in the newsstands The next iteration of written news won’t be read on desktop computers but on mobile devices. An increasing number of college students own smartphones and three-fourths of college students with smartphones get news on their phones, according to a study by the University of Colorado. More than half of students quit reading a story after the first three paragraphs. This year at the Statesman, we want to bring you the news – and that means articles will be easy to find on computers and mobile devices. The important details will be in the first three paragraphs in case a reader needs to bail out early to get to class on time.

Regardless of the delivery medium, we’re committed to seek out information useful to the community and report it.

Though we’ve made changes and we’re likely to see more changes over the years, the reporters at The Utah Statesman will be here, bringing you the news.

10 myths about conservatives Jennifer Rubin Right turn

TAMPA, Fla. - There are a lot of pundits here in Tampa with no real politics to report on. So I thought now would be a good idea to do some explaining about the odd natives (well, natives for only a few days), whom the punditocracy has ventured out to poke and prod and report back, as if they are 21st-century Margaret Meads. Much of what the observers know is wrong, so simply dispelling 10 misconceptions that they have about Republicans should be useful: 1. The GOP has been taken over by tea party.

In 2012 the Republicans chose the least conservative candidate. If anything, the tea party has been absorbed into the GOP and accepted direction from party leaders. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, got majorities ( including the vast majority of freshmen) to pass a continuing resolution and then the debt-ceiling deal. The GOP continues to support budgets that spend more money every year (they slow the rate of increase) and extol Medicare and Social Security.

2. The GOP is obsessed with social issues.

Mitt Romney barely talks about social issues.

It is the Democrats who have latched onto Todd Akin and reportedly set out to emphasize abortion at their convention.

The gubernatorial race in Virginia in 2009 is typical of races these days.

The Republican Bob McDonnell talked breadand-butter economic

issues issues while his opponent and the media raised social issues as a wedge to try to turn off independent voters.

(McDonnell won by 17 points.) My rule of thumb these days is that the party that raises social issues first is losing on everything else. Right now that is not the Republicans.

3. The GOP doesn’t believe in community.

President Obama likes to say that Republicans want everyone to be “on his own.� In fact, conservatives, as Romney put it in a speech at Liberty University this year, believe family, communities, churches and other civil institutions are critical building blocks in society. They favor investing authority in the level of government closest to the people (locales and states), which they believe is most responsive and governs best. Republicans look upon some liberal statist schemes as both ineffective and destructive of those critical civil institutions.

4. The GOP wants to undo the New Deal.

Never has it been so clear how devoted mainstream Republicans are to Social Security and to Medicare. Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget actually does not reduce spending in absolute terms; it merely slows the rate of growth. Republicans, to the dismay of libertarians, have essentially accepted a large, vigorous federal government.

5. Republicans have a problem with women voters because of abortion.

The pro-life and abortion-rights divide is not gender-based. Moreover, Republicans tend to do fairly well with married women. (In 2004 President George W. Bush won married women by 11 points.) It is among single women

that Republicans struggle.

The reasons are complex, including Republicans’ unwillingness to promise “Life of Julia� cradle-tograve support.

6. The GOP is out to hurt the poor.

Liberals tend to equate the amount the federal government spends on the poor with concern for the poor. Liberals are also suspicious of the free market. Conservatives think exactly the opposite and point to welfare reform as the greatest social program enabling people to move from the dole to self-sufficiency. When, for example, Republicans want to follow the welfare reform model (e.g. block grant Medicaid and other poverty-oriented programs) they do so in large part because they think these programs can be better managed by the states.

7. Republicans are against regulation.

GOP presidents and Republican-controlled Houses and Senates over the years have not moved to do away with the SEC, FDIC, FDA, EPA or other regulatory bodies. What they object to is burdensome and/or irrational regulation. Republicans understand there is a cost associated with regulations that affects growth, employment and innovation. Moreover, Republicans find the idea that you can eliminate all risks to be foolish.

8. The GOP’s entire agenda is about tax cuts.

Obama says this quite a bit, but he’s wrong on two counts. First, Republicans have plenty of other ideas, including domestic energy development, entitlement reform, school choice and increased trade.

Moreover, Romney has explained that he wants tax reform (flattening of the rates and broadening

the base), which would be revenue neutral.

9. The GOP is stuck in the past.

It is an odd charge from a Democratic Party that has reverted to a tax-and-spend pre-Bill Clinton philosophy. Republicans are the ones attacking the status quo in education, recommending innovations in Medicare and other entitlement programs and setting a goal for North American energy self-sufficiency by 2020.

10. The GOP won’t cut defense.

Republicans accepted some $78 billion in cuts from Republican Defense Secretary Bob Gates.

Virtually every Republican national security

leader from Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., to House Armed Service Committee Chairman Howard “Buck� McKeon, R-Calif., has expressed willingness to look for cost-saving reforms and to tackle big drivers of defense costs, including procurement. What they are not willing to do is to enact cuts that Obama’s defense secretary said would be “devastating� or cut defense to help pay for the astronomical run-up in domestic savings.

They consider national security to be the first and highest obligation of the federal government.

‘Diversity’ isn’t why we need affirmative action

Just when you thought the Supreme Court was A a distant Nat’l memory of View spring, the briefs are in for the blockbuster affirmative action case coming in October involving a student claiming she was denied admission to the University of Texas because she is white.

And, if the friend of the court submissions from the government and a collection of fancy universities are any indication, this new drama will be played as “Hamlet� without the prince.

Nobody is prepared to tell the court the real reason we still need affirmative action: It would be shameful madness to recruit and train an elite that included only a handful of blacks and Latinos.

Instead, the core argument for retaining some element of affirmative action in admissions is “diversity.�

Wait, you say, isn’t diversity precisely what it would mean to have a widely representative student body? The answer is no, because of the rationale offered for it.

The Obama administration and the universities claim that diversity is benefi-

cial because it enhances the educational experience in the classroom for all the students, not that it serves a vital political function.

The idea is that pedagogy will gain immeasurably and incalculably (double meanings intended) from the expression of different perspectives. The experience of an elite higher education cannot be at its best, they assert, if the distinctive experiences of members of all groups are not represented.

The friends of the court can hardly be blamed for adopting the educational diversity rationale. It is, after all, the law of the land, expressed by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor in the 2003 Grutter v. Bollinger case and rather hopefully couched in the prediction/promise that it would last just another 25 years.

Indeed, a coalition of universities — led

by Harvard University — is the appropriate group to advance the diversity argument, as its origins lie in Justice Lewis Powell’s 1978 decision in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke.

Powell, a courtly Virginian and Harvard Law School graduate, essentially adopted the argument from a brief filed by Harvard saying it favored diversity in admissions to improve the overall educational experience. It went unmentioned by both Powell and Harvard that geographical diversity had initially been adopted to reduce the number of Jewish students who were being admitted by

examination from the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;doughnutâ&#x20AC;? around major urban centers. (One dissenting faculty member asked if the doughnut wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really a bagel.)

In addition to precedent, the diversity case for admission policies has the virtue of not acknowledging the original rationale for affirmative action: restorative justice for blacks and Latinos, who as recently as the 1950s were legally barred from many universities. In a world where Barack Obama is president, it is easy to believe that educational racism is history â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or that past efforts to fix it have somehow succeeded.

Yet the Obama era can also point us to the true societal reason we still need affirmative action: We are a country run in no small part, though not exclusively, by a meritocratic elite.

The universities are important filters shaping that elite. Their idea of merit relies heavily, though not exclusively, on grades and standardized tests. (Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me started on legacy admissions or lacrosse players.) Yet if these yardsticks were the whole ball of wax, there wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be enough blacks and Latinos to populate that elite in any vaguely appropriate proportion to the population.

Then there is the unpopular issue of injustice. Even if we could be governed by an elite that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like America, would it be right? Meritocracy fits poorly with democracy if the meritocrats arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t DVVLVWDQW 0DQDJHU 678'(17 :25.(5 ,,, & 1HWZRUN $VVLVWDQW '2( & 6HFXULW\ $VVLVWDQW '2( & 5HVHDUFK $VVLVWDQW %2( & /DE 5HVHDUFK 7HFKQLDLQ

representative. The problem isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that unrepresentative universities wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be democratic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that governance by the elites they produce would be.

The crucial question for the Supreme Court, then, is whether it is prepared to be the agent of a formal equality that would seriously disrupt the way a diverse meritocratic elite is now chosen.

The deans of Harvard and Yale law schools hint at this point in their own two-person brief when they point out that every sitting justice went to one of their schools. In an earlier era, such a lack of educational diversity would have been considered outrageous. Today, we rely on the educational institutions to do the diverse elite selection for us â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so that todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court includes Justices Clarence Thomas and Sonia Sotomayor, two Yale Law School-educated nonwhites.

Five justices may decide they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind overturning our entire meritocratic system. If they do, our elite-producing institutions will face a crisis. Either they will have to find new ways of creating social diversity, or we will have to stop using them to make the meritocrats who govern us.

USU takes second in home tourney

BY CURTIS LUNDSTROM sports senior writer

Kicking off the 2012-â&#x20AC;?2013 season, the Utah State vol-â&#x20AC;? leyball team hosted the annual Utah State Invitational sponsored by Gossner Foods, bringing home a second place trophy after finishing 3-â&#x20AC;?1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wins are valuable,â&#x20AC;? said Utah State head coach Grayson DuBose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like them, and we want to have a lot of them.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to get that first one under our belt. We had some new (players) that hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played much so it was fun to get them some experience.â&#x20AC;?

Utah State 3, Portland 0 The Aggies started the tour-â&#x20AC;? nament off on the right foot Friday, picking up a straight sets victory over the University of Portland.

Senior outside hitter Josselyn White recorded a game-â&#x20AC;?high 14 kills and the Aggies capitalized on errors and miscommunications by the Pilots to jump out to a two-â&#x20AC;?games-â&#x20AC;?to-â&#x20AC;?none advantage.

BY USU MEDIA RELATIONS A pair of goals by junior for-â&#x20AC;? ward Mari Miyashiro pushed the Utah State soccer team over Omaha, 3-â&#x20AC;?1, Sunday at UNO Soccer Field.

With the win, USU improves to 3-â&#x20AC;?0-â&#x20AC;?1 this season, while UNO falls to 0-â&#x20AC;?3-â&#x20AC;?0. The Aggies depart the Cornhusker State with a 1-â&#x20AC;?0-â&#x20AC;?1 record after tying UNOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross town rival, Creighton, on Aug. 24. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After a lackluster first half, we really picked it up, and we really put our nose to the grindstone to get the win,â&#x20AC;? said USU head coach Heather Cairns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the first half, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anyone doing their jobs. Everyone was expecting someone else do it or trying to do too much. In the second half we settled down. Everyone played

their role, and the pieces came together for us to get the win.â&#x20AC;?

Just over a minute into the match, the Mavericks tested starting goalkeeper senior Ashlyn Mulford when Danielle Archuletaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot was saved. UNO came out strong with three of the first four shots of the match.

Despite the quick start by Omaha, it was the Aggies who got on the board first in the 14th min-â&#x20AC;? ute of the match when Miyashiro earned her first goal of the season.

She knocked in a 25-â&#x20AC;?yard shot that just went over UNO goalkeeper Meaghan Clark.

Omaha evened the score in the 21st minute with a penalty kick

BY TAVIN J. STUCKI sports editor LAS VEGAS -â&#x20AC;?-â&#x20AC;? Utah State football was picked to finish second in the WAC behind Louisiana Tech, the 2011 champion.

Louisiana Tech received six first place votes in the coaches poll to USUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one and were over-â&#x20AC;? whelming favorites in the media poll also, tak-â&#x20AC;? ing 25 of 28 first place votes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see how our players react to being the

hunted instead of the hunters,â&#x20AC;? said Louisiana Tech head coach Sonny Dykes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a little bit different role for us, being the favorite of the conference.â&#x20AC;?

Of course the majority of students and Cache Valley residents are pumped for football, and rightfully so. The team is coming off of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first bowl game appearance in 17 years, improving with each day of practice, and fans have high hopes for this season.

feat, how many students are even aware of this accomplishment? How many Cache Valley residents are aware?

When the football team came back from the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, a plethora of fans and major media outlets were there to welcome them home. Again, no disrespect to the football team, but when the baseball team returned from it national title run, less than 20 people were there and I was the lone media representative.

And if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because baseball is a club sport, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lame, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not.

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer both had record-breaking seasons in 2011-12, and neither stadium came close to being filled, even for the big games.

Cross-country has won more conference championships than any other sport in the past decade â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except for basketball â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but get no love from the

fans. The same goes for track and field.

I know, we live in America, football and basketball are the most popular sports. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Utah State, home of the greatest fans in the country. Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we be supporting every team -- through success and failure -- with our attendance and excitement at competitions?

So Aggie fans, spread the love. Continue the outstanding support of the football team, but let the love overflow into the other sporting arenas. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take our loyalty and fanship to the next level.

me wrong, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great that week after week fans fill Romney Stadium and that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change.

But if the Aggie faithful truly are the â&#x20AC;&#x153;best fans in the countryâ&#x20AC;? as so many profess to be, shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they be as faithful to the Take a stand other university with teams? our Especially those that Online Poll. are bringing home chamwww.usustatesman.com pionships - conference and national.

Props to the fans that are at each home game regardless of the sport, but attendance of 200500 people at soccer or volleyball games -- even less at club team sports -compared to 4,000-plus at football and basketball just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem right.

Fortunately this mistake can be rectified.

Thursday at the first home football game of the season, Utah Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s club baseball team will be honored for its national â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, national â&#x20AC;&#x201C; championship this past season. Three months after this teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic

PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When Nick Foles fin-â&#x20AC;? ished leading the Eagles to a 27-â&#x20AC;?17 preseason victory over the host New England Patriots late Monday night, Foles made a phone call.

On the other end, for-â&#x20AC;? mer Arizona Wildcats quarterbacks coach Frank Scelfo heard about the things Foles didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do right, in the course of completing 18 of 28 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns, and compiling a 96.9 passer rating. Foles was pressed into service much earlier than scheduled when Michael Vick left for rib X-â&#x20AC;?rays with a little more than six minutes remain-â&#x20AC;? ing in the first quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He regrets throwing the interception,â&#x20AC;? Scelfo was saying Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And a couple other balls, he wished he could have followed through more on, drove â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em. I think maybe he threw behind somebody one time _ I forget who it was (DeSean Jackson).â&#x20AC;?

Scelfo says Foles, who woke up Tuesday morning as the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preseason passing leader, with a 118.4 passer rat-â&#x20AC;? ing, did mention some of the good stuff that hap-â&#x20AC;? pened _ obliquely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the most part, what he felt good about was that they opened up the playbook a bit, and he was able to grasp it,â&#x20AC;?

Scelfo says.

Eagles coach Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg have been feeding the third-â&#x20AC;?round rookie their West Coast offense in bite-â&#x20AC;?sized chunks. Foles doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem at all overwhelmed.

These are preseason games, yes, but Reid acknowledged he has never had a rookie QB come in and play like this right away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder on him-â&#x20AC;? self than anybody can ever be on him,â&#x20AC;? Scelfo says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gym rat; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look at a lot of film, really tear himself down to help build himself back up.â&#x20AC;?

Told that Foles is becoming a sensation with the ardent Eagles fan base, after complet-â&#x20AC;? ing 24 of 38 passes (63.2 percent) for 361 yards, four touchdowns and that one interception in two games, Scelfo says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be uncom-â&#x20AC;? fortable with that, I can tell you ... Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very unas-â&#x20AC;? suming.â&#x20AC;?

Certainly, in the visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; locker room at Gillette Stadium in Monday night, Foles gave no hint of bask-â&#x20AC;? ing in adulation. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to talk about whether he can unseat Mike Kafka as Vickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pri-â&#x20AC;? mary backup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not focusing on that at all. Really just going to work tomorrow, like I always do, trying to get better and help

my team in any way pos-â&#x20AC;? sible,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out of my hands.â&#x20AC;?

Asked why he thought he was doing so well, Foles said it was because â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have great players around me ... a lot of great veterans have helped me out tremen-â&#x20AC;? dously.â&#x20AC;?

Scelfo isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised to see Foles flourish in a tough situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been like that his whole life _ you look back at what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done in high school and in college, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason for that all of a sudden to change,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Scelfo knows Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Larry, who is described in various publications as a res-â&#x20AC;? taurant â&#x20AC;&#x153;magnateâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;mogulâ&#x20AC;? in Austin, Texas, where Nick grew up. Larry Foles has said he started out as the manager of a Shoneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s; last October, the Austin American-â&#x20AC;?Statesman reported that Larry and partner Guy Villavaso had sold their eight national Eddie Vâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prime Seafood restaurants and their three Wildfish Grilles for $59 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Worked his way up.

Smart guy,â&#x20AC;? Scelfo says of Larry Foles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Naturally knows how to figure it out; I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Nick got it from.â&#x20AC;?

Eagles general man-â&#x20AC;? ager Howie Roseman has talked about how Folesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; draft stock was affected See FOLES, Page 16

CONFERENCE: Hurd not optimistic From page 13 in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. The Aggies finished 7-â&#x20AC;?6, ending on a five-â&#x20AC;?game winning streak before falling to Ohio in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

Rampant Attrition Five of the remaining WAC football-â&#x20AC;? playing schools will be leaving the con-â&#x20AC;? ference after this season.

Louisiana Tech and Texas State have accepted invitations to join Conference USA, San Jose State and Utah State are headed to the Mountain West begin-â&#x20AC;?

ning next season and Texas State is leaving for the Sun Belt.

WAC interim commissioner Jeff Hurd said he personally does not believe the WAC will continue as a football confer-â&#x20AC;? ence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I look at the landscape, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you have to be a rocket scientist to see it,â&#x20AC;? Hurd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, there are only so many options available.â&#x20AC;?

Idaho has accepted an invitation to the Big Sky for Olympic sports and will play independent football. New Mexico State will also play independent in the foreseeable future. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tavin.stucki@aggiemail.usu.edu

Hurd expands membership

BY CURTIS LUNDSTROM sport senior writer

STUDENTS SING THE SCOTSMAN during a basketball game last season. Backed by Nike, Hurd membership will include the entire student body starting this year.

CURTIS RIPPLINGER photo

Duke has the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cameron Crazies,â&#x20AC;? San Diego State has â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Showâ&#x20AC;? and now Utah State officially has â&#x20AC;&#x153;The HURD.â&#x20AC;?

Once an exclusive stu-â&#x20AC;? dent group, the HURD has broadened its membership to include any and all Utah State students in the stands at sporting events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to make it so that every stu-â&#x20AC;? dent would be a part of the HURD and be a part of that energy

and excitement that goes along with it,â&#x20AC;? said HURD President Skyler Clements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be working more with ASUSU for the direction of the HURD.â&#x20AC;?

ASUSU athletics vice president Karson Kalian explained how students are part of the HURD. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer exclu-â&#x20AC;? sive, now it is all-â&#x20AC;?inclu-â&#x20AC;? sive,â&#x20AC;? Kalian said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every student is a member of the HURD. The HURD is the student section.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to bring more people to games by opening the HURD to everybody. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have membership fees,

thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no dedicated HURD section, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just everybody.â&#x20AC;?

Along with re-â&#x20AC;? designing the university logos, Nike branded the HURD with its own logo â&#x20AC;&#x201C;making it the only student section in the country with a national brand name sponsor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and donated more than 3,000 t-â&#x20AC;?shirts to the organization.

University Athletic Director Scott Barnes said Nike representa-â&#x20AC;? tives were impressed by what they saw at an Aggie basketball game in February 2011, when â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wildâ&#x20AC;? Bill Sproat

dressed in a teapot cos-â&#x20AC;? tume and danced dur-â&#x20AC;? ing free throws while the rest of the student body sang â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m A Little Teapot.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one of those things that was scripted,â&#x20AC;? Barnes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nike saw that and was so enamored and excited about what was going on with the HURD that they said they wanted to do something with it.

They were so impressed with the support our students gave that they wanted to help.â&#x20AC;?

SOCCER: Miyashiro goal in 75th minute powers Utah State over Omaha From page 13 called on Mulford for a foul in the box.

Utah State had a few more offensive chances in the first 45 minutes, but the half ended with the score knotted at 1-â&#x20AC;?1.

The Aggies took the first three shots of the second half with two sailing just wide right by junior mid-â&#x20AC;?

fielder Kendra Pemberton.

USU continued to stay aggressive in the second half with Pemberton, junior defender Jessica Hoskin and junior mid-â&#x20AC;? fielder Jennifer Flynn all taking shots in a two-â&#x20AC;?min-â&#x20AC;? ute span.

The aggressive Aggie attack paid off as Utah State took the lead 2-â&#x20AC;?1

in the 75th minute with another goal off the foot of Miyashiro. The junior took advantage of a Maverick turnover in the box to tap in the goal which was her second of the match and the season. Miyashiro and Flynn are now the only two Aggies with more than one goal this season.

USU continued to apply

the pressure and four min-â&#x20AC;? utes later upped its lead to 3-â&#x20AC;?1. In the 79th minute, freshman forward Danielle Gaztimbide scored her first collegiate goal, knock-â&#x20AC;? ing in a goal off the pass from sophomore defender Taryn Rose after a corner kick from Hoskin. The assist was the first of the season for Rose and only

the second of the season for the Aggies After only six shots in the first half, USU ended the match with 21 compared to only seven

by UNO. Once again the Aggies split time in goal with Mulford taking the first 45 minutes and fresh-â&#x20AC;? man Jeannie Woller taking the second half and earn-â&#x20AC;?

ing the win.

After the short road trip, Utah State returns home to take on Northern Colorado on Friday, Aug. 31 at 4 p.m.

Last season the Aggies beat the Bears, 2-â&#x20AC;?1, in Greeley, Colo. On Sunday, Sept. 2, USU will take the quick trip to Orem to face Utah Valley at 1 p.m.

FOLES: Philadelphia quarterback making strides, passes in the NFL From page 14

by Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terrible 2011 season; head coach Mike Stoops was fired after a 1-â&#x20AC;?5 start. But the Eagles liked the way Foles kept picking him-â&#x20AC;? self up off the ground.

By the end of the season, Foles had thrown 560 passes and completed a Pac-â&#x20AC;?12 Conference-â&#x20AC;?record 387. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He played behind five brand-â&#x20AC;?new linemen,

receivers going in and out of the lineup, there were a lot of different guys he had to work in with. It was such a young offensive coaching staff _ there was a lot of inex-â&#x20AC;? perience all around, and he held us together,â&#x20AC;? says Scelfo, who says he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;taking a redshirt yearâ&#x20AC;? to be with his family after not being retained by new Arizona coach Rick Rodriguez.

Foles might have been around for the Eagles to nab 88th overall because he got off to a bad start at Senior Bowl week _ he has a tendency to throw wild when his feet arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set right _ and then he was disappointed with his performance at the NFL Scouting Combine.

After the combine, in which his 5.14 40 was the worst among QBs, Foles junked the draft training

Long Live

setup heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d engineered with former NFL quar-â&#x20AC;? terback Ken Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and went back to Tucson to work with Scelfo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he was way undervalued. I thought Philly did a great job get-â&#x20AC;? ting him in the third,â&#x20AC;?

Scelfo says.

Through the years, he says, he has worked with Foles on footwork, bal-â&#x20AC;? ance and weight transfer.

Though the Wildcats ran a spread, Scelfo previously worked in a West Coast offense at Tulane, and he says he and Foles â&#x20AC;&#x153;spent a lot of time understanding more about defenses, which in a spread sys-â&#x20AC;? tem, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a big part of it. He took the extra time ... learning, deciphering, trying to figure out exactly what hurt him and how ... Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fast learner and a hard worker.â&#x20AC;?

Scelfo says Foles has told him that he feels exceptionally comfort-â&#x20AC;? able with Mornhinweg and Eagles quarterbacks coach Doug Pederson, that he feels they under-â&#x20AC;? stand him and do a good job explaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell those Philly fans to have some patience

There is one area, though, where Scelfo said he feels Foles might not be ready for the NFL. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Might be the worst dresser Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever met in my life,â&#x20AC;? Scelfo says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never catch him in a mall by himself buy-â&#x20AC;?

now open to all students, membership fees have been done away with, but students are still encouraged to pur-â&#x20AC;? chase merchandise with the new logo.

Kalian and members of the HURD presidency have worked in conjunc-â&#x20AC;? tion with the athletic department and students sporting the 2012-â&#x20AC;?13 game-â&#x20AC;? day shirts or apparel bearing the new HURD logo at games will be rewarded with free food at tailgates and have a greater chance in being selected for time-â&#x20AC;?out challenges.

A large amount of funding for the HURD comes from merchandise sales, which Kalian said is the reason for added benefits for those wearing the apparel. The HURD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now in its sev-â&#x20AC;? enth year -â&#x20AC;?-â&#x20AC;? uses those funds for pur-â&#x20AC;? poses such as printing a newsletter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The HURD is going to make a newsletter that will be available every game day,â&#x20AC;? Kalian said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be passing it out at games, supplying the blue gloves that you see, just doing more interactive pieces with the stu-â&#x20AC;? dents trying to get more people to come.â&#x20AC;?

Another significant contributor to funding for the HURD comes from university alumni, which HURD lead-â&#x20AC;?

ership hopes to get involved at games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our intent with the HURD is to make it as large and accessible as we can make it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge part of the spirit of our athletic program,â&#x20AC;? Barnes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The HURD is a significant part of people coming to campus, it impresses them. The more we can do to grow that the better.â&#x20AC;?

Other changes for the HURD include new flags and banners for the games, watch parties for away games open to all students, tickets to away games available to all students, new chants and cheers and a bus to away events, which Kalian said will include a small fee for the students who decide to take the bus.

Poster contests, fan-â&#x20AC;?of-â&#x20AC;?the-â&#x20AC;?game contests and other events during games will be held to promote creativ-â&#x20AC;? ity and school spirit. Kalian said stu-â&#x20AC;? dents are encouraged to â&#x20AC;&#x153;go all outâ&#x20AC;? to earn prizes at events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This all came about from students being crazy, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to promote students being crazy,â&#x20AC;? Kalian said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inviting everyone to come be crazy. With this change, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping that the atmosphere goes nuts.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; curtis.lundstrom@aggiemail.usu.edu
