Over Time, Over Budget, and Not Finished New Residence hall opens for students but is not yet completed
By Jaden Johnson SPORTS CONTENT MANGER
Only eight college football teams in the
nation return 18 starters or more from last
season. Friday night’s matchup between Utah State and Michigan State features two of those.
The Aggies, who rank tied for fourth in the
nation in terms of experience according to
Phil Steele Magazine, have more returning
starters than any other team on their schedule. That is, except for Michigan State.
The Spartans return 10 offensive starters
and nine defensive starters from a squad
which went 10-3 and finished No. 15 in the
nation in the AP Poll. No team in the nation has more returning talent.
Offensively, the lone non-returning Spartan
is center Brian Allen, fourth-round draft pick to the Los Angeles Rams who had 38 career starts for Michigan State. Defensively, the
Spartans will look to replace the production of defensive end Demetrius Cooper and
linebacker Chris Frey, who is now with the Carolina Panthers.
“The thing you kind of look at is the consis-
tency they’ve had in their coaching staff and their schemes,” said Utah State head coach

En route to a second-place finish in the Big
Ten East division in 2017, the three losses on Michigan State’s schedule came against No. 11 Notre Dame, No. 17 Northwestern, and
No. 5 Ohio State. Meanwhile, the Spartans
picked up wins against Michigan, Washington State, and No. 8 Penn State.
One key for the Aggies in this matchup may
be their ability to stop the run. In 2017, USU ranked 115th in the nation in rushing
defense, allowing 216.4 yards per contest.
Meanwhile, Michigan state returns three of
residence hall, Utah State University has dence hall, a co-ed, suite-style hall.
However, most of the amenities have yet to
be completed, and students can hear the buzz of saws and pounding of tools right below their beds.
“I think the new building will be worth the
wait once everything is finished in a few
months, but right now, I do not think it is,” said Jordan Price, who previously lived in
Valley View Tower but is now among the first residents of Central Suites.
USU announced in February 2016 its inten-
tions to demolish Valley View Tower and build a new dorm-style residence hall in central
campus. Slated to be completed in time for the fall semester of 2017, construction was
delayed after winter 2017 due to weather, tool theft and a lack of workers.
“It is a difficult construction market right
now,” said Steve Jenson, the executive director of housing services. “It is hard to get sufficient help, and some of the materials were hard to come by as well.”
Jenson said that it was not USU who delayed
construction, but the company who built the towers, Rimrock Construction, a Draper,
Utah-based company that builds many types of residential, industrial and retail buildings.
Some of the amenities that were advertised
in Central Suites included study rooms,
exercise rooms, a theater room, and lounges with multiple pool and ping-pong tables.
“It is just a little annoying that none of the
cool things that made me want to live there aren’t done yet,” Price said.
The outdoor amenities, which include a
volleyball court and an outdoor projector screen in the firepit-lined courtyard, are
expected to be completed by October, Jenson said.
“The plan is to finish within the next few
weeks,” he said. On the other hand, Valley
View Tower is now empty and is scheduled to be taken down in May 2018.

its top five rushers from last season’s squad, which averaged 167.8 yards per game.
“Our experience is a plus,” said senior safety
Gaje Ferguson of the defense’s ability to stop the run. “We have a lot of guys back and we have a different game plan. We now have
(defensive coordinator) Keith Patterson and he’s very run-stop minded. He’s going to bring a lot to our defense this year and
helping stop the run. It’s going to be a lot
different this year than it has been in year’s past.”
The MSU offense is led by junior quarter-
back Brian Lewerke and senior running back LJ Scott, both members of the Athlon Magazine preseason All-Big Ten second team.
Lewerke passed for 2793 yards along with 20 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2017, while Scott had 898 rushing yards for eight touchdowns and 1044 all-purpose yards.
The Spartan defense is highlighted by 2017
All-Big Ten first-team selection David Dowell. In his sophomore season, the safety ranked
fifth in the nation with 11 interceptions. He also recorded four pass deflections and was
second on the team with 75 total tackles on the season.
Michigan State also boasts a notorious front
seven on defense, one which held opponents to just 95.3 yards per game, the second
fewest behind only Alabama. Junior lineback-
er Joe Bachie is a do-it-all kind of a player for
the Spartans, leading the team in total tackles last season with 100, as well as recording 7.5 tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks, and three interceptions.

Nine USU students receive Emmy Award nominations By Alison Berg NEWS SENIOR WRITER
Brian Champagne’s face lit up when he
received news that eight of his students are nominated for collegiate Emmy Awards
delivered by the Rocky Mountain Region of the National Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences, the highest number of nominees Champagne has seen in his eight years of teaching at Utah State University.
“I knew we had good stuff going in, but that
really blew me away,” said Champagne, an
associate professor of journalism and communication.
Taylor Emerson, a USU senior, and Erin Cox,
a 2018 USU graduate, both received nominations for two stories they did for Aggie TV
News, while three students from Champagne’s course on documentaries received nomina-
tions. A special episode of Aggie TV News was also nominated and a video sponsored by the English department took the final slot. The Rocky Mountain Region includes
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado and part of California, which, Emerson said, includes tough competition.
“To go against (the Walter Cronkite School of
Journalism), to go against BYU, to go against these schools that have bigger budgets and
more resources than we do, individually it’s
great, but it really shows the strength of not
just that group but the journalism program,” he said.
Cox received her nominations for a feature
story she did on the First Presbyterian Church
of Logan’s handbell choir, as well as a series of stories reporting on sexual assault at USU.

Students and faculty gathered in Old Main to be the first to sit
on the new third floor benches at the College of Humanities’ Bench-a-Palooza event Friday morning.
According to Joe Ward, the dean of the College of
Humanities and Social Sciences, the bench project was made
possible through contributions from USUSA and staff member Chris Okelberry.
“Speaking on behalf of faculty and students on the
third floor, we frequently saw students sitting on the ground
between classes and we saw these benches as an opportunity to help students,” said Ward.
“These are going to make Old Main look much classier, now
that we don’t have to sit on the floor anymore,” said CHaSS
student Bentlee Rice.

floors of Old Main, the third floor where the political science

STUDENT LIFE
Helping Students Get Involved By Nate Cutler STUDENT LIFE WRITER
Welcome to Utah State University where we
have a pretty campus, accomplished alumni and cheap tuition.
While these may be reasonable excuses to
attend, they do not capture the real reason
why Logan is so beloved. To grasp the heart and soul of “The Scotsman,” our famous
anthem, we sing, “Show me the true-blooded Aggie from Utah who doesn’t love the spot where the sagebrush grows.”
We look deeper than the words and find
what gives us reason to be lifelong Aggies. We commit to something bigger than
ourselves. What makes USU so comfortable? It’s the people we surround ourselves with who seek to better our workplaces, our
communities and our beautiful school. It’s the people here that make this university feel like home!
Part of the university experience includes
getting involved with campus activities and organizations. Whether you’re looking to
meet people or become part of an organization, it’s sometimes difficult to know where to start or how to join.
If you’ve ever felt stuck or unsure which
campus organization has the best fit for you, here are a few ideas to get started.

she could get involved. She said this was her initiative from the 2017 Miss USU Pageant,
of which she was awarded First Attendant. It sparked to life in Matt Sanders’ Communication and Leadership course and she got the
green light campus from Linda Zimmerman at the Student Involvement Office.
By using the SIM, students can observe how
organizations are interrelated and distin-
guish the lesser known organizations from
the more visible ones. Most students are first introduced to the A-Team, Ambassadors, Blue Crew, the Hurd or Fraternity and

SAA hosts it. They may be unfamiliar with the students on USUSA, the Academic Senate or the service center staff.

WHAT’S THE ETA ON THAT? CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS FINISHING ON CAMPUS
By Allison Allred & Kortni Wells STUDENT LIFE WRITERS
A drive on or up to the Utah State Univer-
sity campus has most likely been delayed at one point or another from the beginning of the summer to the very tail end. These
delays have been caused by construction zones in or around campus.
That’s because several changes have been
on the rise for Utah State’s campus for the past several months and are finally on the
downhill slope to being finished. Here’s an
update on all the construction projects and their estimated time of completion:

COLUMN: Which Aggie players are Soccer match postponed for set to have breakout seasons? poor air quality By Jason Walker SPORTS SENIOR WRITER
Friday’s Utah State soccer contest against
in-state rival University of Utah was postponed
because the air quality in Logan was at an unsafe level.
The Air Quality Index at noon, four hours before
the scheduled 4 p.m. kickoff, was 158, above the maximum of 149 for conditions considered safe for outdoor physical exertion. The NCAA and
each conference encourages teams to monitor
r .
playing conditions and cancel or postpone games if necessary. Generally, this applies to lightning in most sports, though wet weather conditions which often postpone baseball and softball
games. Cancelling games due to poor air quality is a relatively rare event.
According to a USU spokesperson, both coaches
were keeping an eye on air quality and mutually agreed to not play in Logan today. There was
some initial discussion of moving the game to Salt Lake City but both sides decided to postpone the game to a future date the spokesperson said.

Scarver will look to have a breakout season after ranking fifth on the team in 2017 in receiving yards, and leding the team in average yards per reception.

newcomers like USC grad-transfer Jalen

A Utah Youth Soccer clinic was also schedule to
take place following the game, but will now be held after USU’s home match against Eastern Washington on Sept. 14.
The Aggies (0-2) are still searching for their first
win. The team lost its regular season opener to
Sam Houston State 0-2 and the home opener 1-2 to Minnesota. Sara Noel has the only goal for
Utah State so far this season, including a 0-2 loss
in an exhibition game to Southern Utah. The Utes (1-1) were coming into the game fresh off a 2-0
win over Weber State, their first win of the season after losing its home opener 0-1 to Minnesota.
USU’s next game will take place Friday, Aug. 31
at Loyola Maryland at 4 p.m.

A letter from the HURD President: Aggies!
Whether you’re returning or you’re beginning your college experience, I’d like to be one of the first to welcome you to the greatest school in the nation! Now listen, I could butter you up and talk about school work, dating, how much fun you’ll have and blah, blah, blah, but I know what you’re really here for. Aggie Athletics. For those of you who don’t know or haven’t been to a game yet, this is the year to come out and get crazy. We all know traditionally that USU is the LOUDEST, the PROUDEST, and the absolute BEST student section to have ever existed in the history of anything, ever, period. We’re going to rock opposing teams and leave them in a fetal position sucking their thumbs, but in order to do that, we need your help. We’ve got tailgating to do, signs to make, chests to paint, and pre-game ritualizing to execute so that we can be ready to cheer until our little voice boxes can’t even pipe up to answer questions in English class. Now for some quick business. In order to know what to wear and bring to games/events PLEASE follow the USU HURD on social media. Also, if you see myself or anyone else on the HURD around campus, games, or events, don’t be afraid to ask us questions or give suggestions on how we can make your life as good as it can be. **some requests such as foot rubs and other disgusting wishes may be denied.** Last of all, I admire the tenacity and ferociousness at games. The student section is the perfect place to scream all your frustrations out after you get back from your mid-terms. Come bring your friends, your mom, your dentist, and let’s get wild! I’m excited for the year to come, and as always, GO AGGIES!
Your Diehard HURD President,
Braden Tomlinson

Music Review: Beaver Mountain Festival
By Landon Stuart STUDENT LIFE WRITER
Hundreds congregated at the Beaver Mountain ski resort on Friday to celebrate bohemian melodies, piquant food, and close friends. Led by strong performances by lead vocalist/guitarist Allie Harris and violinist Julie Taquin, Mama Long Legs quickly captivated the audience at the main stage early on in the evening. The band played a mixed set of blues, folk and acoustic songs that featured a unique, deep-sounding undertone via Kendall Becker’s contribution on the double bass. The band’s ability to weave between upbeat and twangy, ‘Wind and the Wave’ esque sounds and slow acoustic ballads was unique and uncanny. The ensuing act on the primary stage was Virginia native William G. Kidd. Backed by

I’m here to tell you that
