OER textbooks could save students thousands By McKay Johnsen NEWS STAFF WRITER
A resolution to spread awareness over Open
Educational Resources at USU was passed on Jan. 7 by the Utah State University Student Association academic senate. OER has the
potential to save students thousands of dollars in textbook costs.
“USU Libraries and Academic & Instructional
Services are collaborating with various colleges on campus to offer faculty grants for
the adoption, adaption, or creation of OER to enhance their classes,” said OER Coordinator Kori Ellis. “The theory behind OER, or Open Educational Resources, is that knowledge
should be free, unlimited, and accessible to
everyone, everywhere, and not locked behind a paywall.”
OER are freely accessible texts and media
that are used for both teaching and learning, all made available online. With this motion,
students and faculty alike will have access to a wide range of material.
“OER includes everything from textbooks
and lecture slides to modules, videos, or any
other educational resources that reside in the public domain,” Ellis said.
OER are being used to better education
from the university level down to elementary schools across the nation. In fact, USU has
already implemented OER into its course catalog.
OER Program Assistant Derek Petersen said,
“In 2017, College of Humanities and Social
Sciences invested $20,000 in grants to introduce OER to CHaSS coursesthis resulted in
$70,000 on the return of the investment or in money saved.”

Exploring alternative treatment with UPR hosts panel disthe Contextual Behavioral Science Lab cussing Kavanaugh, #MeToo By Erick Graham Wood STUDENT LIFE STAFF WRITER
Utah Public Radio continued their discussion about the
#MeToo movement on Friday night with a panel at Utah State
University highlighting the results of the Kavanaugh hearings. Utah Women 20/20 is a UPR series that explores the oppor-
tunities and difficulties that face women today. The series
explores topics such as gender disparity and elections. Within
the last year, the #MeToo movement has been another subject of discussion.
“We decided to do an event to process the Kavanaugh hear-
ings,” said Tom Williams, the host of the program and moder-
ator for Friday night’s panel. “I was just realizing the other day that I haven’t fully processed the hearings.”
Judge Brett Kavanaugh was ultimately appointed Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court despite allegations of sexual assaults levelled against him by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford
last October. Ford was criticized for her allegations against Kavanaugh and ultimately the senate decided in favor of Kavanaugh.
The panelists at the UPR event reinforced many ideas that

Students and employers mingle at Summer Job Fair By Alek Nelson STUDENT LIFE WRITER
The buzz of representatives from over 55 employers and
hundreds of students resonated through the halls of the
Taggart Student Center during the annual Summer Job Fair on Wednesday.
Students had the opportunity to network with various
businesses and agencies in the Sunburst Lounge of the TSC
throughout the day. Organizations and companies represented at the event ranged from event planning to tour guide services to nutritional supplement distribution.
Over 600 students came to the event this year, each with
specific goals, according to Donna Crow, executive director of USU Career Services.
“For some students, it might just be an opportunity to
explore,” Crow said. “For others, they’re targeting this event, they’ve got their resumes, and they’re planning to do inter-
views this afternoon or tomorrow because they’re making a job happen.”
Kortnee Craig, a senior studying elementary education,
attended the job fair. In the past, she has worked during
the summer at museums, camps and lodging outside Zion National Park.
“I personally like to make most of my money during the
summer to help pay for my schooling,” she said. “Then,
when I’m in school, I don’t have to worry too much about working full-time because I use the money I’ve saved up during the summer.”

after the University of Utah. USHE, as it’s known, is comprised of eight public colleges and universities throughout the state. Hall said although the major is still in the approval process,
he expects it to be approved.
“I’m very optimistic that it will be in place by the beginning
of fall,” he said. “I think it will be another very strong major.” Hall emphasized the importance of faculty in the success of
programs like this.
“I think we have three excellent faculty members for students

SPORTS 18th game this season Utah State has out-rebounded its opponent. Despite the Aggies’ dominance in the opening part of the
first half, New Mexico was able to hold off USU from making
more runs in the second half and kept the game close until the end. “They get off to a hot start in the second half, but we re-
sponded,” Smith said. “In the first media timeout, we were
up by 10. It felt like they kind of out-played us early in the second half and then they start throwing haymakers.”
With 14:07 left in the game, Utah State stretched their
lead to 47-37 after a made layup from sophomore forward
Justin Bean. From then on, the game turned into the Anthony Mathis show as the Lobos’ senior guard scored all of his
sixteen points over the next ten minutes, tying the game at 64 a piece. Unfortunately for Utah State, its star big man Queta was kept off the floor during this run after falling into some foul trouble early in the half.
“This was a similar thing that happened in Houston where
we kind of folded, but because of those experiences, we
stayed poised,” Merrill said. “Obviously, credit goes to Abel (Porter) and that was big time."
Over the final four minutes, Utah State held New Mexico to
just two points, putting them in position to take the final shot of the game, giving them a chance to win. A controversial PHOTO COURTESY OF Roberto E.

Aggies drop tight contest to New Mexico By Hannah Leavitt SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
The Utah State women’s basketball team (10-8, 5-2) took on one
of the top teams in the Mountain West Conference on Saturday afternoon. The matchup was highly anticipated, with the New
Mexico Lobos (17-2, 7-1) ranked second in the Mountain West
Conference. In a high-intensity game, the Lobos beat the Aggies 68-64. Utah State junior forward Shannon Dufficy said the loss wasn’t
surprising after a struggle in the first quarter.
“When you look at our first half, it was not good,” Dufficy said.
“We came out so flat. We set ourselves up for that loss in the first
half, pretty much. I don’t know if we were too timid or we thought about the game too much but that needs to be improved and I’m sure if we do that, we will be able to beat them next time.”
Junior guard Olivia West proved a force to be reckoned with by
scoring a three-point shot within the first minute. This prompted
New Mexico to get in motion with Ahlise Hurst scoring a few seconds after. From then on, the Aggies began to trail. Even with 12 FILE PHOTO BY Kyle Todecheene Utah State pitcher Delaney Hull pitches in a game against Nevada on March 29, 2018.

The softball coaches at Utah State are choosing to go with a
pitch-by-committee approach for this upcoming season.
A new season starts in just under three weeks for the Aggie softball
team, and they don’t have a true rotation set up as of now. Although
softball is different from baseball which typically uses a five-man-ro-
tation, most softball programs opt to go with two players in their
rotation. Because of that, the team will elect to go with multiple
starters instead of locking down a consistent second starter, at least
for the start of the season, says head coach Steve Johnson.
“We’ll be doing a lot of rotation, we call it pitching by commit-
tee,” Johnson said. “So if one of them gets hot and is doing well,
obviously we’re going to let them keep
into trouble, we’ll have the
rolling. But, if they get

pitched in more than one game for the Aggies.
Hull was the ace of the staff last year, winning nine games and
finishing sixth in the conference in ERA, and she’s back for her
sophomore season.
“Honestly, I think all three of us are just going to be rotating in

Your garbage is killing us
PHOTO BY Awang Zhaxi/Xinhua via AP FILE — In this May 8, 2017, file photo released by Xinhua News Agency, people collect garbage at the north slope of the Mount Qomolangma in southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region. China announced Monday, Jan. 21, 2019 that it plans to cut the number of climbers attempting to scale Mount Everest from the north by 1/3 this year as part of plans for a major cleanup on the world’s highest peak. By Thomas Sorenson OPINION MANAGER
The U.S. has a garbage problem and no, I’m
not just talking about the dudes that post
shirtless selfies on Tinder. I’m talking about
real garbage, the kind that is overwhelming our landfills and floating in our oceans.
While there are some positive trends, overall the problem is continually getting worse,
and the most effective way to combat it is to
lower our garbage production. We each have a responsibility to find ways to reduce our individual consumption.
The average American generates 4.4
pounds of trash each day, which doesn’t
actually sound like a lot. But over the course of a year that sums to more than 1,600
pounds of garbage that, if measured in cubic feet, would be as tall as the Leaning Tower of Pisa. And that’s just you! The average
American family of four produces more than
6,300 pounds of garbage, roughly the weight of an Asian elephant (or the punchline of a
killer “Yo’ Mama” joke). All Americans combined generate 254 million tons of garbage annually, enough trash to stretch to the moon and back 25 times!
We tend to think of overused landfills as a
space problem — and it absolutely is — but there’s more to it than that. Chemicals in our garbage that aren’t disposed of properly will seep into the ground, damaging
ecosystems and even getting into the water supply. Plastics can take upwards of 500
years to decompose, meaning if a ketchup
bottle was dropped by one of the pilgrims on the Mayflower it would still be buried
