Utah’s first Latino federal judge is coming to Utah State University By Naomi Ward NEWS STAFF WRITER
In celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month
this October, the Utah State University
Latinx Student Union has invited Samuel Alba, the first Latino federal judge in
Utah and USU alumnus, to speak to stu-
dents about his experiences as a student and judge.
Alba’s parents migrated to the US from
Mexico and worked as farm workers, Alba said. He then grew up to study political science at USU and gradu-
ate with his bachelor’s in 1969 before
attending law school at Arizona State. Alba was called to be a federal magis-
trate judge for the US District Court for Utah in 1992, the first Latinx federal
judge to hold the position. He was chief magistrate judge from 2003 and 2008 and currently works in law.
“I was at USU in 1965 and there were
not many students of color at the university at the time,” Alba said. “I was

Resilient as ever, the Aggies bounced back soon after, tak-
ing advantage of set pieces to grab a stunning goal from
a power header flicked into the back of the far netting by
‘Spirit of the Scotsman’
midfielder Austin Howard, off a gorgeous free kick sliced
in from about thirty yards out, off the boot of center back Romney Harker.
“I just know that Howard, that he just hits every header
that I put in so he’s the go to guy,” Harker said. “I try to
connect with him and just look for the sweet spot usually around the 6-yard box.”
Not more than four minutes later, the Aggies captured a
second goal of the half with an absolute missile of a strike
that curled its way off the left boot of winger Jaden Bybee, who made a great run through the defense and worked his
way right to left across the top of the 18-yard box freeing up enough space to smash one in past the keeper. In the 19th minute, Utah State led 2-0.
From this point on in the first half, things started to look
pretty easy for the white shirts. They were putting pressure on Madison constantly, causing the opposition to get frus-
trated which resulted in a yellow card for BYU-I at the 23rd minute mark.
USU captains Cooper Hazen and Harker solidified the
back line, which allowed fullbacks Chase Allan and Wallace to play higher upfield, causing a lot of turnovers for the Dragons on their side of the center touch line.
Midfielders Aye Moe and Ale Vieyra had great games as
well, causing havoc from box to box and making some
incredibly creative plays continuing to create chances on goal until the end of the first half.
Around the 40th minute is where the mood shifted slight-
ly, and things became a little tense. Right before the end

Utah State won 60—13. By Kortni Wells STUDENT LIFE STAFF WRITER
Homecoming week is a chance for Utah State University stu-
dents to celebrate and remember the rich traditions of heritage that are associated with college and what it means to be an “Aggie from Utah.”
This year, students celebrate the 100th year of the “Spirit of
the Scotsman” giving recognition to the rise of the song written by alumnus Ebenezer Kirkham from the class of 1918.
As a student at USU, professor emeritus Larry Smith led a
17-member dance band called the Scotsmen that played for
most of the student dances and served as the pep band for the basketball games in the Fieldhouse.
Smith led the band from 1957-59 as a student and in 1965 as
a faculty member. In the 1980s, Smith wrote a new arrange-
ment of the Scotsman for the USU band to play. This is the version USU fans now hear at the games.
Dr. Lane Weaver, director for the Aggie Marching Band, was
first introduced to the Scotsman as a freshman student in the
Aggie Marching Band in 1993.
Most of the football games at that time were finished by
the time students came back to campus after summer break.
There wasn’t much crowd involvement or interaction, but the Scotsman was still known as the school song.
As a trombone player, Weaver played the drone that is heard
at the beginning of the Scotsman(where people now start waving their arms back and forth).
“Trombone players are always trying to keep themselves
entertained and there’s kind of a personality that comes out,” Weaver said. “We started to move our horns back and forth and that was it. We kind of just started doing it.”
Eventually the students caught on and began asking the band
to play the Scotsman at basketball games in the Spectrum. From there the Scotsman fight song was born.
“Nobody knew the words to the fight song or the Scotsman in
1993, so that’s been kind of a neat thing to see embraced that is now a part of the culture of the university,” Weaver said. Scott Olson, chair of this year’s USU’s homecoming

inside the box, which the referee didn’t think was clean, a
penalty was awarded to Madison which they converted for their only goal of the game.
USU keeper Tevan Tippets was not pleased with this deci-
sion, and the referee acknowledged this with a yellow card.
This was the second of the half for Utah State, as they were shown yellow just five minutes before going in for another challenge. Tippets was a good sport after the game as he elaborated on the situation.
“The yellow card truthfully wasn’t for the words,” he said.
“I grabbed the ball and threw it away.”
He also shared his thoughts on the tackle leading to the
penalty kick.
“It was soft, it looked pretty clean, but that’s sometimes
the way the calls go,” Tippets said. “I feel like it’s a rough
one, but I would have loved to keep that shutout, but it happens that’s the game of soccer sometimes calls go your way sometimes they don’t.”
Nevertheless, the Aggies went into halftime with a 2-1
lead.

Utah State’s SAAVI to hold event in response to Kavanaugh decision By Margot Crabtree NEWS STAFF WRITER
Tuesday, the newly-formed Utah State
University Faculty/Student Alliance will host – in partner with Sexual Assault and Anti-
Violence Information – a teach-in on issues of sexual violence.
The event will also discuss human rights and political action to foster discussion between
students, staff and faculty in the wake of the
Brett Kavanaugh’s contentious Supreme Court confirmation hearings over the past month. The program, titled “Supreme Stakes:
Understanding Sexual Violence,” will alter-
nate between brief “lecturettes” from faculty and visiting experts, and student-led discus-
sions on various topics related to gender and violence.
Organizers see the teach-in as a simultaneous call to action and healing moment for USU
students and faculty to come together to educate and exchange ideas of empowerment.
“It’s about building a capacity for people to
believe that they can resist, regardless of the change being immediate or change being in
the future,” said Cana Itchuaqiyaq, graduate
student and FSA member. “I think that’s part of healing, this idea that we can, and we should still fight.”
The teach-in, which will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Anthropology Museum in Old
Main 252 and is structured in 10 to 20-min-
ute increments to allow students the opportunity to participate in as many or as few of the program’s lectures and discussions as they have time for.
The program is heavily tied to the conversation around women’s stories and rights
surrounding multiple accusations of sexual
assault toward Kavanaugh and the national
response. The teach-in will also take place at a USU changed by increased awareness and
scrutiny of sexual assault and misconduct by students and faculty alike in recent years.
Jess Lucero, a professor of social work at USU and member of the FSA, said a goal of the
event was to take national events and focus them down to the local community.
“We think it’ll be a really cool opportunity to
respond to the decision, to demonstrate, to
new position: vice president cations. This administrator will be the main authority
deciding whether or not TEDx will return in the future.
Keeping the event tied to

researchers, like biology professor Josh Wilson, a chance to present their ideas locally and use their findings to
educate people. Wilson, who
researches bee ecology, spoke last year about what ordinary people can do to “save the bees,” explaining there’s a
lot more to it than planting flowers.
However, there’s no ordi-
nance that says TEDx and the
researchers who present must be hosted by the research college.
Other Utah universities have organized the event through
other departments and organizations. Brigham Young

believes the important thing
isn’t which department hosts the conference.
“It just needs to be allocated
to a department that has the bandwidth,” she said.
With some 1200 attendees at
the last Utah State conference and a straight year of plan-
ning, there’s no question that TEDx is a tremendous undertaking for universities.
However, staff here and at
other universities across the state believe that the payoff is profound. Gettys said she

exposed to such great presentations in under 20 minutes?”
Dr. Jennifer Sinor, who spoke everyone who attended –
including herself – “to think about hard questions and to challenge the answers and to figure out how we can
become better human beings, the kind who listen, who wit-
ness, who are willing to share stories of their own.”
“TEDx allows speakers to
connect with a wide audience in a way that feels intimate.
There is nothing else like it,” she said.“I honestly believe it has showcased some of
the best work we do at Utah State. I am proud to have
been part of it and will be
forever grateful for the opportunity.”
Although students and
administrators hope to see TEDx return in the future, there’s nothing definite
planned at the moment.

Big Brother? Utah State blows out BYU Aggies earn back-to-back victories over Cougars for the first time since 1973-74 with 45-20 win in Provo By Daniel Hansen SPORTS STAFF WRITER
The Old Wagon Wheel is staying put.
Utah State dominated from the outset in a
45-20 victory over in-state rival BYU on Friday night in Provo. The Aggies have now won
three out of the past five games versus the Cougars, including two straight.
“I’m just really really proud of (the players)
and and the effort that they put forth. That’s a big win. That’s a big program win,” said USU
head coach Matt Wells. “Our mantra all week
was ‘one game, one trophy, and a lot of pride.’ It’s one game and there’s a lot of pride for us at Utah State in a game like this.”
USU started on defense, as junior defensive
end Tipa Galeai intercepted a screen pass on 4th-and-inches and returned it 56 yards to
put the Aggies up 7-0. After a three-and-out
by BYU on their next possession, USU began
in earnest with a 10-play, 81-yard touchdown drive capped off by 2-yard touchdown reception by junior running back Gerold Bright.

like the conversation was centered around

for Utah State. They brought out keeper Gabriel Guerrero to finish off the game, but chose to
keep the substitutions limited in the second half. Keeping the pressure on, the Aggies continued
to frustrate Madison as their chances were limited all night, some of this frustration started spilling over onto the pitch.
In the 61st minute a hard tackle prevented
Moe from his attacking move as it looked surely that he was going to get into the box and possibly get a shot off. This resulted in a yellow
card, which would be followed up by a red card just four minutes later as another player came
in hard at the legs of Moe. The Dragons would go on to record four yellows and a red in the second half.

Although they had a goal up on Madison, the
Aggies were hungry to try and get another.
A great strike from Bybee hit the post in the
70th minute, and four minutes later the duo of Harker and Howard almost had another one, this time as Harker struck a hard ball at the
keeper who initially saved it but a bobble led
to a loose ball and Howard was right there to clean it up and put it in the back of the net.
However, the goal was waived off on an offside call.
The Aggies never needed that third goal as
their defense held strong despite a few attempts to try and close the gap, ending the game 2-1,
turning a great piece of effort into a much-needed win.
With the win, USU’s record improved to 3-1-1
on the season.

versus BYU for the first time since winning four straight versus the Cougars from 1971 through 1974. The Wagon Wheel trophy,
awarded to the winner between USU-BYU will stay in Logan for at least one more year.
“Feel like we might’ve wasted a little bit of
gas bringing it down frankly,” Ficklin said.
With the win, the Aggies moved to 4-1 on the
season, their best start to a season since 2012. Utah State also moved to 7-0 in games following a bye week under Wells.
“The games that matter are coming up, the
Mountain West games,” Love said. “These are ones that matter so I don’t think we have a problem staying focused.”

an issue for the team this time around.
“All week we’ve been talking about winning
the Mountain West probably more than we
have been talking about beating BYU,” Ficklin said. “Our goal is to win a MW championship. That’s how we break every practice and every period. There’ll be no refocusing cause we’ve been focused on it.”
The Aggies return to Mountain West play
next Saturday as USU takes on UNLV in this
year’s homecoming game. Utah State currently sits at 1-0 in conference play after defeating Air Force two weeks ago.
Kickoff between Utah State and UNLV is set
for Saturday at 2 pm.
