NEWS | Aggie Recreation Center
Torrey Green convicted of 8 sexual assault charges
By Jason Walker SPORTS SENIOR WRITER
Utah State used hot shooting from deep to beat Colorado
State 87-72 and get its third-straight Mountain West Conference win.
The Aggies took 25 3-pointers — third-most this season by
USU — making 12, nearly matching the team’s season high of 13, set against UC Irvine back on Dec. 1.
“We’ve been shooting the ball a lot better the last few
games,” USU head coach Craig Smith said, adding that he
thinks the ”guys are just settling in” with the team now 19 games into the season.
Freshman guard Brock Miller was responsible of half of
those with five in the first half alone and six overall. That
total matched his personal career-high set earlier this season.
Miller has turned around his season recently in terms of
3-point shooting. In December, he made only 25 percent
of his shots from deep. In January, that percentage is up to 44.4 percent.
“Overall, I’ve felt more confident,” Miller said of his uptick
in shooting. “I’ve always had confidence in my shot but it’s been good to see a couple shots fall.”
Miller finished with 18 points, tied with fellow freshman
Neemias Queta for most in the game by any player. Queta
secured his third double-double of the season by adding 11 rebounds and had three blocks to boot.

BRIGHAM CITY — An eight-person jury found Torrey Green
guilty on eight of 11 sexual assault charges, they announced Friday at the 1st District Court in Brigham City.
The charges stem from sexual assault allegations from six
women between 2013-15.
Green, a former Utah State University linebacker and NFL
prospect, was found guilty of five counts of rape, one count
count of object rape and one count of aggravated kidnapping. The jury found him not guilty of one count of forcible sexual abuse, but guilty of a lesser charge of sexual battery.
He was originally charged with six counts of rape, two counts
of object rape and one count of aggravated kidnapping.
A jury comprised of five men and three women deliberated
for about 13 hours before handing down the verdict.

Queta drew one of the biggest responsibilities on defense:
the unenviable task of guarding CSU center Niko Carvacho. The redshirt junior had been on a tear in conference, aver-
aging 23.5 points and 12.5 rebounds per game in Mountain West play. Queta proved to be up to the task, holding the

USU considering new bike share program review in which Utah State University Student
By Naomi Ward NEWS SENIOR WRITER
Association President Jaren Hunsaker. Vice
If the contracts are approved, Utah State
University and Logan may be getting a new
bike share program – only this time, the bikes
are bright turquoise. Margaret McCarthy,
Aggie Blue Bikes program coordinator, said
the potential partnership with bike share
company VeoRide is intended to be more long-
term than the program USU implemented
with Spin, which was terminated about three
months after it started. If passed, the VeoRide
contract would last three years, McCarthy
said.
“They seem very willing to be a partner in
the community,” McCarthy said. Unlike Spin,
which partnered with local bike shop Joy
Ride, VeoRide would hire its own general
manager and staff to operate. McCarthy said
the bicycles are also better quality. The com-
pany offers electric assist bikes and e-scooters
in addition its traditional bicycles.
However, VeoRide’s contracts both with
the city and the university have yet to be
approved.
McCarthy said a VeoRide representative came
to Logan last October. The contract was signed
by representatives from Aggie Blue Bikes
and then went through a departmentmental
President of Student Affairs James Morales approved the program as well.
Next, the contract must undergo a univer-
sity review. USU purchasing agent Robert
Kekauoha said he received the contract Dec.
20, 2018. It will then go to Dave Cowley, university CFO, whom Kekauoha said would be the final signature needed to pass.
Kekauoha said there are a lot of risks
involved with a bike share program. “If we
sign, we are liable on behalf of the students.

Our concerns are for the safety of the stu-
dents, university property and the product itself,” Kekauoha said.
Still, Kekauoha is hoping the program suc-
ceeds. “I love this program, and I would
like to see it come to fruition, on campus or
throughout Logan,” he said. “It’s good for our university to work with the city.”
Before approval, the VeoRide contract must
be reviewed by the Utah State University

really stuck,” McCarthy said. “It’s really frustrating. The data speaks for itself – students liked bike share, and it’s a great answer to
our air quality.”
Even if the program is not approved by the
university, McCarthy expects the city will partner with VeoRide.

The ARC was a student-funded initiative, led
by Tyler Tolson, 2009 Utah State University Student Association president.
Tolson met with James Morales, vice presi-
dent for student affairs, and the two agreed
they both wanted a better recreational facility
for students, as the Nelson Fieldhouse felt outdated and inadequate to student needs.
In 2012, the student body passed a $75/year
fee increase o fund the construction of the
ARC, and construction began in April, 2014. By November, 2015, the ARC opened its
doors to all USU students.
“It was built for students, it was paid for by
students, students voted for it,” Morales said. “This is not a building for me, this is not a
building for administrators or others, it is for students.”

Morales said the appeal to the ARC is its mul-

“It’s a recreation center,” Morales said.

had with her ex-boyfriend, so she made up the accusation to shift the blame. C.D.
Green approached her in the USU Taggart
Student Center during the fall semester of
2014, her freshman year. They texted for a
while, then for their first date he picked her
up and took her to his apartment. She said he made dinner, but she was nervous and didn’t
eat. As they watched a movie in his bedroom, they began kissing, which she said she was fine with. Then he grabbed her buttocks
and legs, which she objected to. He tried to
remove her clothes, she said, and she continued to resist.

First Dinner n’ MayMoe’s serves free breakDrag show held at fast to furloughed workers Cache Venue By Erick Graham Wood STUDENT LIFE STAFF WRITER
Giving back to the community that gave him his start means
everything to Jason Davis, the owner of a Cajun and Creole restaurant in Cache Valley called MayMoes.
After three years in Logan, Davis said he felt it will always be his
duty to give back when he is able to. It’s for that reason that Davis decided to offer a free buffet-style breakfast for furloughed federal employees and their families on Saturday mornings.
“I’ve been broke before and honestly, I don’t know if it’s about
the money so much for the people as it is just the opportunity to
get out of the house and have a nice family meal together,” Davis
said. “I know when I was out of work I tended to sit at home a lot, Madame LaCrude performs “Last Dance” on Sunday night.

a reduced $4 special each day.
“Rebel Girls” who “Can’t Be Tamed” took the stage at the
Cache Venue on Sunday night for the first ever Dinner n’ Drag show, a free monthly performance from drag queens in Cache Valley.
“I want this to be like a drag bootcamp,” said Neil Betty,
the coordinator for the event. “I want to help other queens
learn how to host their own shows, practice their drag and
go out and network and give more people their first chance on the stage.”
Queens from all walks of life strutted down the runway to
perform lip-sync versions of hits from Carrie Underwood,
Meghan Trainor and more. The show was free to the audi-
ence with dinner and drinks available for purchase. Tipping was encouraged.
“I want everyone to get a chance under the spotlight,” Betty
said. “That is why we will have a rotating set of queens so

“We aren’t restaurant owners, but we are figuring it out. Our

The Cache Venue will be opening up a second section of
their building sometime this year.

On the second floor of Old Main, the Utah State University
Museum of Anthropology is engaging students and the community with their exhibits.
The museum began informally in 1963 when Gordon Keller,
archaeology professor, began displaying a small number of arti-
facts in Old Main. Since then, the museum has grown to include many display cases and a collection of around 6,000 objects. Under the direction of Molly Cannon, executive director,
student teams have put together the exhibits that are now on
display. They research, design and build the exhibits themselves. “We try to have a new exhibit each semester,” Cannon said. “A

Ward-Sessions shines in first home meet was super cool tonight to finally see her put that together, and under a ton of pressure because the front half of the beam lineup
didn’t set it up for her and she was anchor-
ing, and she got the job done, and for her to come out and win the all-around on top of
winning beam, which was great, I’m so excited for her tonight and what she did.”
“I keep saying that she could be one of the
best all-arounders in the country and in our conference,” Smith continued.
Along with Ward-Sessions, Utah State soph-
omore Leighton Varnadore placed third in
the all-around event with a score of 38.825,
just behind BYU’s second-place winner Shannon Evans.
Aggie freshman Grace Rojas earned a
career-best score at the meet with a score of
9.775 on the vault, which placed her at fifth for the event.
The Aggies will be hitting the gym hard
this upcoming week before facing off against BYU once again.
“They gotta self-reflect tonight and ask
themselves if they got the job done,” Smith said about training for next week. “We
always talk about they got a job to do, and

The Spectrum was alive with a palpable en-
ergy Friday night as the Utah State women’s gymnastics team hosted its first home meet of the season against in-state and in-con-
ference rival BYU. The Cougars, ranked No. 6 nationally, won the meet with a score of
194.575 over USU’s 193.950 team total, but that did not stop senior Madison Ward-Sessions from captivating the crowd with her stellar performance.
“I was nervous, but I was able to channel
that into my routines, and that calmed down
a little bit,” said Ward-Sessions, who secured

Aggie women keep winning, improve to 5-1 in conference By Daedan Olander SPORTS STAFF WRITER
The Utah State women’s basketball team picked up another road
-
win Saturday afternoon when they traveled to Fort Collins, Colo. defeating the Rams who entered the game 7-8 in Colorado for the first time since 1980 with a decisive 72-53 victory.
Utah State junior forwards Hailey Bassett and Shannon Dufficy scored 18 and 14 points respectively, and each grabbed 12
rebounds in the game. This marked Dufficy’s seventh-straight double-double, tying a program record for most consecutive
double-doubles by a player. Junior guard Eliza West added a game-high seven assists.
“I finally got that double-double!” Bassett said after the game.

Big men playing big role for Aggies Utah State has relied on the combo of Queta and Taylor to become one of the top teams in the Mountain West By Dalton Renshaw SPORTS STAFF WRITER
Utah State’s big men played a, well, big role in Saturday’s
win over Colorado State. Senior forward Quinn Taylor and
freshman center Neemias Queta, were much more involved
than in recent games for Utah State. In total, they combined for 30 of the Aggies’ 87 points on the night as well as 20 of the team’s 39 rebounds.
This is something that USU head coach Craig Smith wanted
to emphasize, speaking about it after their loss to Fresno State on Jan. 9.
Over the three games since that loss, Queta and Taylor have
been featured more often in the Aggies’ plans. Queta over the past three games has been averaging 15.3 points per
game and 8.3 rebounds per game in 31 minutes played per
contest. Within the first three possessions of the Saturday’s
contest, Utah State went to Queta twice in the post, hoping to establish his presence early on.
“Everybody wants to score the first ball, and I think it helps
me a lot when I get the ball and score the first one,” Queta said. Taylor, although not scoring as much as Queta, has still
managed 28.6 minutes of game-time over the past three, and acts as a floor general for the Aggies when he’s on the court.
“Of course Quinn, he’s just old reliable, right, he’s just Mr.
Dependable,” Smith said. “You pretty much know what
you’re going to get out of him on a day-to-day basis. And we certainly went to him inside more tonight than maybe we
typically have and I think that’s something we gotta look at doing more often.”
This change has been to the advantage of Utah State in a
number of ways, not all directly related to the two star big
men. The amount of attention that these two players attract in the paint does wonders to open up the Aggies’ shooting
on the perimeter. Since the Fresno State loss, Utah State has been shooting 48.9 percent from the field and 39.3 percent
from three, both tops in the league over that span. The bo-
nus for Utah State is that both Taylor and Queta are plenty
skilled enough to suck in the defense and make a quick pass to one of the Aggies’ many shooters.
Redshirt-freshman guard Brock Miller shot 6-of-9 from
three on the night, scoring 18 points. He spoke on the contributions that both Queta and Taylor had in his ability to get so many good looks.
“You know, they were doubling on Neemias in the post, and
he’s a really unselfish big man and knows how to play,” Miller said. “You know, he kicked that out and we had a couple of ball reversals and it gave me wide-open looks.” Queta seemed to agree with his teammate.
“I think I’m a really good passer and the guys were moving
really well,” Queta said. “Usually when teams double me,
they try to close out the three point for them, but I think we moved really well and I could find them.”
The extra involvement from Queta and Taylor also helped
the team limit one of the better big men in the conference, junior center Nico Carvacho, to 12 points on the night.
Carvacho had been averaging 23.5 points per game over the
past four. Utah State did this by trapping Carvacho in double teams every time he would enter the paint, largely a combination of Queta and Taylor being the ones to interfere with the center’s attempts at the rim.
“Neemias was an animal, quite frankly,” Smith said. “He did
a really good job protecting the rim. He really anchored us, I thought he was really good, especially early on … He’s a
good kid and he accepts coaching and he accepted the challenge, really, because Carvacho is a load, he’s a really good player. I just told myself we’re not taking Neemi out unless
they take Carvacho out, and he played the whole second half.” A lot of the growth and development that the coaches
have seen out of Queta has been over the past few weeks,
as he settles into the season a bit more. Queta is one of six freshmen on the Aggies’ active roster, and like most young
players, thrives with the having a senior like Taylor on the roster.
“Quinn has been such a steadying influence, certainly on
our team, but especially on Neemias. Because there’s not
much Quinn hasn’t seen in his years as an Aggie, but he’s certainly been a great mentor for him,” Smith said.
“We really blew it away today.”
The Aggies led early in the first quarter 8-2, but then surrendered the advantage to a seven-point CSU run, the score 9-8
with 3:45 remaining. Utah State recaptured their momentum,
however, and finished the quarter up 17-11 with the final points of the period coming off an Eliza West three-point jumper.
The game got out of hand for the Rams in the second, and vwhat was a two-possession competition going into the quarter quickly
became anything but, as back-to-back Emmie Harris three’s widened the margin to 33-19 with a little under half of the quarter
remaining. The period ended with the Aggies on top 45-23, after outscoring CSU 28-12 in the quarter.
“We had a super second quarter,” said Utah State head coach Jerry Finkbeiner.
The teams traded baskets throughout the third, and the margin beginning the quarter was unchanged at its conclusion, both
teams scoring 14 points before the period ended, leaving the score 59-37.
The fourth featured more of the same, and the game remained out of reach for Colorado State, ending 72-53.
Utah State continued the hot shooting from their most recent
game against San Jose State with 50 percent shooting from the field and over 40 percent from three against the Rams. They
also dominated CSU on the glass, grabbing 25 more rebounds than Colorado State and finishing with 45 on the day. Fifteen
offensive rebounds led to 18 second chance points for the Aggies as well.
“We just played with a lot of confidence, and we kind of set a
standard for ourselves here as of late. Now, can we live up to it?” Finkbeiner said.
With the win, USU moves to 5-1 against Mountain West oppo-
nents and 10-7 overall. The Aggies also improved to 5-2 in true road games, after winning just one game outside of Logan last season.
The Rams will have a chance to even up the season series on
March 4 in the Spectrum in what will be the Aggies’ final regular season game. In the meantime, Utah State looks forward to returning to Logan to face New Mexico Saturday at 2 p.m.
to steal the inbounds pass and beat Carvacho down the court for an emphatic dunk.
On another occasion, after pulling a spin move on a Colo-
rado State defender and scoring at the rim, Queta stuck his
tongue out at the Aggie student section and pumped up the
crowd on his way back down the court. Queta has started to
take on the role of hype-man for this Utah State squad as the season has progressed, a role he enjoys.
“I’m always the guy that likes playing in a full environment
and everybody’s cheering for me, or playing in an environ-
ment where everyone’s against me,” Queta said. “I like having people there cheering for us and helping the team.”
There were a number of plays on Saturday night made by
@dren_sports
the Portuguese big man that showed an exceptional level of
skill. One trip down the court, Queta used his 7’5” wingspan
“Basketball” FROM PAGE 1 “He’s a really good player,” Queta said of Carvacho. “Us big
men, we did a really good job on him. He still ended up with 12 points but I think we did really good on him.”
Four of Carvacho’s six first-half points came with Queta sitting
on the bench. This led to Smith resolving that in the second half, he would only take the Portuguese big out if Rams’ head coach
Niko Medved removed his star big. Carvacho never stepped foot
of the court in the second and neither did Queta, leading to high praise from Smith for his 36-minute performance.
“Neemias was an animal, quite frankly,” Smith said. “He really
anchored us, I thought he was really really good, especially early on.” Without Carvacho’s dominance inside, Colorado State yielded
the paint to the Aggies with USU outscoring the Rams 38-20 in the paint and finish with a 39-24 rebound advantage.
Five players overall for USU finished in double figures. Behind

Miller and Queta were Sam Merrill (16), Diogo Brito (12) and Quinn Taylor (12). The Aggies had 23 assists total, third-most
this season. After the game, everyone focussed on how much the team has been sharing lately, especially Smith.
“Since Nevada, I feel like we’re sharing the ball (more),” he
said. “Not that we were ever a selfish team. But I just think our ball movement is much crisper…good passing teams are good
shooting teams and I feel like since Nevada we’ve passed it much more efficiently.”
Utah State will get a full week off, with its next game coming at
New Mexico next Saturday.
“I think it’s good,” Miller said of the time off, “We have a lot of
players that are banged up and I think that it’ll be good for our
bodies and minds to relax for a day or two. And obviously we’re going to get after it and really prepare for New Mexico.”
Smith said the break is “perfect timing for us,” also mentioning
that, as some minor motivation, he would give the players an extra day off if they won.

It’s time to repeal the
17th Amendment

“The Senate of the United States shall be
composed of two Senators from each State,
elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote”
(17th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, emphasis added).
If I were to suggest a change to any aspect
of the Constitution as it currently exists, I would repeal the 17th Amendment.
The 17th Amendment establishes the selec-
tion of United States Senators by popular
vote by the people of their respective states, and it is a mistake that erases the entire
purpose of federalism and bicameral legislature the Founding Fathers intended.
The original text of Article 1, Section 3,
Clauses 1 and 2 reads: “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two
Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six Years; and

that state sovereignty would be protected by a legislative body that served to prevent the national government from
stomping on the rights of the states, an issue Anti-Federalists were
committed to preventing.
However, this arrangement
came to an end with the passage of the 17th Amendment in 1913.
addition, it was incredibly rare for states state legislative deadlock.
The 17th Amendment has instead resulted
in the Senate evolving into a chamber of Congress
branch. With no officers in Washington
governments have turned to lobbyists to
have their voices heard, spending more than $80 million in lobbying efforts, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
The 17th Amendment has instead resulted in the Senate evolving into a chamber of Congress that, similar to the House of Representatives, is subject to the populist desires of the people.
It was passed due to fears that state
legislatures had become corrupted by steel

desires of the people. Instead of operating

But these concerns of corruption were overblown, evidenced by the fact that between 1857 and 1900, there were only three

each Senator shall have one Vote”.
This design of the Senate was a result
of the Connecticut Compromise, which
tempered the concerns of both the small states and the large states that were
raised during the process of writing the Constitution. The argument centered
on the question of how representation should be granted between the states.
The bicameral compromise assuaged the concerns of the small states by promis-
ing a Senate that provided equal representation to all states, while granting
the large states population-based pro-
portional representation in the form of the House of Representatives.
However, the compromise was also a
trade-off between the Federalists and
the Anti-Federalists, who had disagree-
ments on how much electoral power the people should be given and how much
power the states should have. Members of the House of Representatives would be elected by the people in a system
that was designed to represent “the popular will”, while the Senate would be
appointed by state legislatures to serve
as a “check” on the House and represent the interests of the states.
