Changes in parking lead to 834 warnings BY LIS STEWART staff writer
Parking changed from unlim-� ited restrictions to a three-�hour time limit on 800 East from 700 North to 1400 North — with the exception of parking meters — as of September to help with traffic congestion during the day, Lt. Jeff Simmons of the Logan City Police said. The street below Old Main, 700 East, was restricted to three
hours from 400 North to 600 North. “Honestly it’s about as good as we can get for what we have,� Simmons said. “Truly we just don’t have enough streets for all the people we have flowing into Logan every day.� Students and university fac-� ulty who used to park on streets around USU all day can no longer keep their cars in the same place, Simmons said. The options left
for those who drive to campus are to either move their cars before the time limit is up or purchase a parking permit, he said. A statement from James Nye, director of Parking and Transportation Services at USU, said the parking regulations were made to provide more parking opportunities for students. “These stalls were always uti-� lized by people who arrive early and stayed all day,� Nye said.
“With the three-�hour parking restrictions there is greater turn-� over, resulting in more parking availability for students.� Nye said parking permit sales so far are about the same as last year. The parking office sold 3,938 Blue and Yellow permits in 2011, and 3,930 were sold as of Oct. 3, Nye said. Flyers were posted in the areas where changes were being made when school started, and signs
went up after Labor Day. Each sign designates the parking within 100 feet in each direc-� tion. Simmons said the parking officers employed by the police department issued warnings at first in new areas, but now they are ticketing. Logan Parking Enforcement issued 834 warn-� ings and tickets around the city in September, according to

Campuses across the state tune into ribbon cutting BY TMERA BRADLEY
staff writer Governor Gary Herbert visited the USU campus Wednesday after-� noon for the dedication of the new Distance Education Building. After a question and answer session with students, Herbert, USU President Stan Albrecht and other officials cut the virtual ribbon on the new build-� ing at 4 p.m. The ceremony was broadcasted to various distance campuses across the state. “Utah State is just one of the real jewels of our higher education sys-� tem,� Herbert said. Though the 40,000 square foot building only has 12 classrooms, broadcasts will be sent to 250 additional locations throughout the state. The building will deliver courses to more than 12,000 dis-� tance education students. “This building increases the capacity on the Logan campus to be able to broadcast more,� said Robert Wagner, associate vice provost. He said 350 courses are being broad-� casted each week this semester. Wagner said experiments are also being made with greater interactive technology, allowing students in distance education classrooms to be more connected to the main cam-� pus. The building is designated as a Cisco beta site, meaning distance students will be able to interact with the teachers through a system called Internet Video Conferencing (IVC.) Wagner said the new technol-� ogy doesn’t affect student fees, and the tuition for students to attend a broadcast course form the new building is the same as if they were to take a traditional class. “The reason we do this is so that students can experience the classroom and interact with their instructors,� said Ronda Menlove, senior vice-�provost. “I would dare say there is no

other building in the United States that’s as technology-�rich as this building,� she said. Menlove said it is a truly an inno-� vative building. “A gem, a true gem,� she said. “I hope you’ll have the opportunity to see it and experience it. Can you imagine the electricity that flows out of this building at night? And I’m told that it glows.� Angie Thompson, a distance education student and accounting major from Delta, said she was a single mom with three small chil-� dren when she began her studies at USU.
“When I found out that Utah State offered degrees that I could earn entirely through the regional campus, I was so excited because at that moment I knew that my dreams could become a reality,� Thompson said. “USU Delta and the distance education program has been the bridge to me accomplish-� ing my goals.� Thompson said the courses are flexible, and she only had classes once a week. It fit well with her schedule and her financial situa-� tion. Thompson doesn’t regret hav-�

Vandalism puts damper on street painting BY KATRIEL WILKES staff writer
A PAINTED HANDPRINT is one of many spots where paint was left after street painting Monday DELAYNE LOCKE photo
USU administration and ASUSU leadership are ques-� tioning whether street painting, a more than 20-�year-�old Homecoming tradition, will continue next year after stu-� dent groups who left paint handprints on buildings, light-� posts and sidewalks around campus last week have failed to come forward. Despite careful precautions, Student Traditions and Activities Board Traditions director Sloan Bailey said handprints and paint splatters were found at several sites around Aggie Bull-�evard. These sites included areas near the Big Blue Parking Terrace, Veterinary Sciences Building, and a pole near the HPER building. Bailey said she formed a group of volunteers to clean the vandalized areas. While the group was able to remove some of the paint, there are still hand prints and paint splatters on light posts and side-� walks. She said she has avoided calling USU Facilities thus far, but will consider it if the volunteers cannot remove the damages. Bailey said the rules were tightened this year because of vandalism issue last year. Precautions included each of the clubs signing a contract that required they use water-�based paint. The contract also said a $150 fine would be issued for any group that got paint on the areas other than the street.
“We did lots of different extreme things,� Bailey said. She said no one is sure who the perpetrators are, so no actions have been taken. “We know the general area, but we don’t know exactly who was responsible,� Bailey said. A notice has been sent to the participating clubs, asking the group responsible for vandalism to step forward. It will be reported to the campus police, Bailey said. There were numerous volunteers watching the street painting, she said. ASUSU had one for every five or six clubs. The clubs’ advisors were also asked to be present during the painting. She said next year there may have to be even more — a volunteer for each club that participates. Chaise Warr, ASUSU programming vice president, said they have to get permission from Facilities to hold the event every year. Because some students were irresponsible, it could potentially ruin the event for everybody in the future, he said. “It’s so frustrating,� Warr said. “We worked so hard to prevent vandalism from happening this year.� Because of problems last year, Bailey said she had to work with Student Services and Facilities to make this year’s event as problem-�free as possible. “It took lots convincing,� she said. “I had to be ready to compromise.� See STREET, Page 2

Speaker tells students to find wonder BY CRYSTAL RUPP
Campus & Community
Sustainability hosts fall concert
staff writer
The third annual Dean’s Convocation of the Caine College of the Arts called students to notice mystery and wonder in their lives on Wednesday afternoon. Robert Blocker, dean of the Yale School of Music, addressed the crowd in a speech titled, “Whatever Happened to Wonder?� Blocker began by asking stu-� dents when wonder last visited them. Throughout his speech, Blocker said the concept is not only important in art, but in the daily routine of people’s lives. “Most of you were born into a techno global world,� he said. “Society has softened the boundar-� ies of values in virtually every walk of life. These environmental condi-� tions are strikingly different than those of even ten years ago.� Addressing art students, Blocker said recognizing and accepting wonder is significant in their work. “Each of us has been chosen by art,� he said. “We’re called to ensure the birthright of wonder in a troubled world that so desper-� ately needs our artistic bridges of understanding.� Blocker said many students don’t recognize wonder in their lives because they’re too busy. “Was it the seductive addiction to your iPhone that caused you to miss the unrivaled beauty of a rainbow?� he asked the group. He offered several things stu-� dents can do to bring wonder back into their lives. Humility, gratitude and receptivity were among them. “Humility enables you to see

and understand that art is a sacred trust,� he said. Blocker also mentioned the importance of being vulnerable. “Vulnerability is an essential ingredient of meaningful artistic expression,� he said. “It is a win-� dow to the soul through which suf-� fering passes.� Blocker said convocation is important because it represents a new beginning. “It begins a new chapter today for the Caine College community. It is a clean slate for every one of us, a second chance,� he said. Craig Jessop, dean of the Caine College of the Arts, was the intro-� ductory speaker of the event. He said students should change their perspectives.
“The hardest thing is to have a sense of perspective,� he said. “One must dream big, one must set lofty goals, one must surround himself by those who stretch themselves.� Jessop echoed Blocker’s words in telling students of the importance of being an artist. “To be a performing artist of any kind is so embedded in the soul,� he said. “It’s like breathing itself.� Anna Moore, a freshman major-� ing in art, said she attended the speech because she heard a profes-� sor from Yale would be speaking. “I thought it was pretty cool that a dean from Yale was here,� she said. “You don’t always get an opportunity like that, so I figured I might as well go.�
Moore said she now has a new per-� spective of the importance of her time here at USU. “I think he stressed a lot about using your artistic and creative talents to give back to society,� she said. “Not just to be an artist, but to be a productive and contribut-� ing citizen.� Moore said the speech moti-� vated to her make some changes in her own life. “I think this reminds me that I shouldn’t just look at college like I’m here to learn art, but to look at it as this is a good thing to round myself in all areas,� she said. “I’m not just taking the class because I have to, but to learn.� – crystalisfamous@gmail.com
PARK: New three-�hour rule affects students, faculty From page 1
Simmons. The new signs posted currently do not say how long the parking restrictions are enforced. However, Simmons said the parking officers only work 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and the signs will be changed to reflect that. Winter parking restrictions will be the same as every year, he said. Parking on city streets will not be allowed from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. Nov. 15 through February 28 to make snow removal easier, he said. The parking officers mark the back left tire of a vehicle with a line of chalk and come back later to see of the vehicle is still there. An unnamed parking official explained that merely driving down the street to park in a different stall will not completely remove the chalk. It is also a vio-� lation to rub away the chalk and people get caught by the parking officers doing it, the official said. Logan Municipal Code states that a vehicle must leave the district it is in before returning to park. The official explained the definition of a district is an area around a street designated for the same purpose and its adjoining streets. So, if a person needs to move their car on 800 East, they must drive away from the streets connect-� ing to it before coming back. This should be far enough to rub away the chalk mark. The

main idea is to free up stalls periodically and give people a chance to park there, they said. A typical parking violation costs a mini-� mum 20 dollars. Simmons said there is an independent board made up of five citizens who meet regularly to deal with appeal requests. Tickets do get repealed or fines are lowered if there is just cause, he said. Nye said, “I have heard positive com-� ments from students. As with any parking change, it will take some time for people to adjust.� Other parking changes include a three
hour parking limit in the Hillcrest neigh-� borhood on Evergreen Drive and 900 North, just off 1200 East by the cemetery, Simmons said. The Logan police were asked to step up their parking enforcement of neigh-� borhoods in a June city council meeting. Simmons said citizens from those neighbor-� hoods around USU had input in the process of changing parking regulations. The Logan City Police Department took over parking enforcement in August, loos-� ening parking enforcement downtown per the request of the Downtown Alliance and tightening restrictions around USU after meeting with citizens and the university, Simmons said. Simmons said he does hear complaints about parking around the university, but for the most part people are understanding when he explains the reasons behind the tighter restrictions. “We’re trying to be fair to everybody,� Simmons said. “Some people don’t like the changes, and some people are okay with it, so there’s a balance.� Parking could change again if citizens want it to, Simmons said. “These are the rules now, but could there be a change in the future?� he said. “Oh sure, depending on the circumstances. We’re trying to be responsive – that’s the whole point in the issue.� – la.stewart@aggiemail.usu.edu
Friday, Oct. 5, at 7 p.m. in the TSC International Lounges, the Student Sustainability Office joins with Desert Noises to kick off a new year in campus innovation. The fun, cost-� free concert presents the SSO’s Blue Goes Green grantees with zero use of student fees. The Blue Goes Green fee, initiated last year, now funds seven projects on USU’s campus. All seven projects seek to make USU a more economically efficient, environmentally conscious, and on the cutting edge of sustainable food, water, air, land, and energy systems in higher education. Aimed at stu-� dents of all musical and environ-� mental persuasions, the concert will showcase the seven projects currently in practice or research-�stage that the Blue Goes Green grants fund.
Science program takes on raptors What explains our fascination with dinosaurs? Is it their size? Or is it our endless curiosity with how these “terrible lizards� — a rough translation of the word “dinosaurs� coined by Sir Richard Owen in 1842 — ultimately met their demise? At USU’s Science Unwrapped Friday, Oct. 5, featured speaker Ken Carpenter takes us on an excit-� ing journey to unravel some of the mysteries of these ancient creatures. Known as Utah State’s “Indiana Jones of Bones,� Carpenter is curator of paleontology and director of USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum. He presents “The Latest and Greatest: The Science Behind Dinosaurs� at 7 p.m. in the Emert Auditorium, Room 130, of the Eccles Science Learning Center. Hosted by USU’s College of Science, the event is free and open to all ages. Hands-�on learning activities and refreshments — T-�Rex Tracks and Dinosaur Drool — follow Carpenter’s talk. Guests are invited to bring their “mystery� rocks and fossils for identification by USU geologists, along with their favorite dinosaur cartoons and drawings to post on the event’s “Dino-�Wall.�

The USU Student Health and Wellness Center is acknowledging breast cancer awareness month by providing information booths on the Taggart Student Center Patio Oct. 3 and 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteers will be available to answer any questions about breast cancer. Pamphlets will also be accessible for information such as myths and facts of breast cancer, details on how to properly perform self breast examinations, and the ABCs of breast health. Attendees can enter a drawing for various prizes including movie tickets and key chains. Students and faculty are asked to wear pink on Oct. 5 and 6 to demonstrate support for those struggling with breast can-� cer. The main goal of the USU Student Health and Wellness Center is to inform the public about the preva-� lence of breast cancer. Research from the CDC shows 202,964 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007. The same year, 40,598 women died of breast cancer. That is nearly twice the number of students enrolled at USU.

Investing in the future BY CALE PATTERSON staff writer
Many Aggies are accustomed to the poor college student life-� style. They rely on student loans to make it through college, get a degree and move on to a job and hopefully become financially successful. Some students, however, are involved an orga-� nization called the Cache Valley Area Investors Association, or CVAIA and are taught prin-� ciples that allow them to open their own businesses, make good financial decisions and work toward financial indepen-� dence. Preston Parker, a visiting lecturer at USU, is the founder
and president of the CVAIA. Parker said he founded the organization in August 2007 in an effort to deal with the lack of optimism he found in others, as well as to give financial advice
to those earnestly seeking it. “People kept asking me for financial advice and I was get-� ting tired of the lack of opti-� mism and positive thinking,� said Parker. “People were com-�
plaining about their jobs even before the recession.� The organization is open to the public and promotes prin-� ciples such as financial indepen-� dency. Parker said this concept

is the point in which one’s pas-� sive income, generated through mediums such as investments or businesses owned, is greater than one’s monthly expenses. Parker said once a person reach-� es this point, they no longer have to complain about their jobs as they can work wherever they want and would be doing it simply because they love to do it rather than out of financial dependency. “You can stay home all day at that point if you want,� said Parker. “You can work wherever, however you want. You go from working just to be able to do fun things to doing fun things that generate value and make the world a better place.� Parker said the focus of most people is on active income, or money earned by doing some-� thing. CVAIA tries to shift peo-� ple’s focus to passive income, giving people financial inde-� pendence as well as increased optimism. While the organization is not specific to the university, many students are involved in it. Parker said nearly half of those who attend their meetings are

Student’s life altered by staph infection
BY APRIL ASHLAND
features senior writer
When Jake Olsen walked into Alpine Orthopedic in mid-�September, he had no idea there was a highly contagious infec-� tion in his knee. What he did know, he said, was that he had a large lump on his knee. “It started as a little bump on my knee, kind of like a bug bite, and I started to play with it, and it got really big, really fast,� Olsen said. “It looked like I had another knee on top of my knee.� Olsen first went to a regular doctor, who told him it looked like he had an infec-� tion, gave him antibiotics and sent him home. Two days later when the large lump showed no signs of improvement, Olsen said he was sent to a specialist at Alpine Orthopedic. At Alpine, Olsen said Dr. Terry Finlayson looked at the lump, poked it once, and told Olsen he was going to cut it open. The worst part though, he said, was the numbing. “It’s inflamed already, there’s a lot of

pressure, so he pokes it in a really tender spot with a needle and pumps a ton more fluid in there,� Olsen said. “I laid back and was trying not to just scream.� Olsen said what then came out of his knee was gross, but the doctor still didn’t know what had caused it, or what it was. In order to find out, Finlayson swabbed the inside of Olsen’s knee and sent it out. Finlayson then put a piece of gauze soaked in Hydrogen Peroxide in Olsen’s knee, and told him to pull it out two days later. “We had like 15 people there,� Olsen said. “Some people said they definitely weren’t going to come, and other people said ‘Oh, I have to be there to see it,’ so it was fun.’� The next day, Olsen found out the infec-� tion in his knee was Methicillin-�resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, or MRSA. MRSA is a type of staph infection resistant to most types of antibiotics. According to the Center for Disease Control, when MRSA exists in the com-� munity, it is most often in the form of skin infections and generally happen on sec-� tions of skin with visible skin trauma, like cuts or scrapes. Leona Goodsell, the communicable disease nurse at the Bear River Health Department, said one in three people carry staph, although not all carry the MRSA strain. She said the best way to protect yourself is just to wash your hands often. Olsen said he may have had it and it just didn’t show up for a while, but he is not the first in his family to have MRSA. He said his father had it too. “I called my dad and told him I have MRSA and he said, ‘Whoa, Jake this is serious. You have to do everything they say and I’m going to tell everybody and we’re going to be praying for you,’� Olsen said. “I knew it was serious before that, because they said they’d have to give me an I.V. to give me medicine, but I’d also need a picc line.� A picc line is a catheter, or tube, which is placed in a patient’s arm and fed through the veins into the heart. Olsen said he needed the line because his veins would collapse, and since he needed medi-� cine so often, the doctors needed a way for his veins to stay open. “There’s a 43-�centimeter-�long tube from my bicep threaded up through my veins to the top of my heart,� Olsen said. “When I found that out I was like, ‘Whoa this is a big deal. Are you kidding me?’� Olsen said he spent most of that day in the hospital waiting for his picc line to be inserted so he could take his medicine. He said he spends about 5 hours every day preparing for and taking his medicine

each day. Olsen said he wakes up at 5 a.m. every morning to take his medicine out of the fridge and to take Benadryl. The first dose of medicine Olsen received made his skin itch to the point he wanted to rip his skin off, so he takes Benadryl to calm the effect. An hour later, Olsen is able to take his medicine. The medicine, Vancomiacin, has to be at room temperature to enter Olsen’s blood stream or it hurts. “It’s in a little bulb, it looks a little like a water balloon or a grenade,� Olsen said. “And I hook it up, and it takes an hour and 45 minutes to get all the way through my bloodstream.� Twelve hours later, Olsen repeats the process. Olsen said his life has been altered by having MRSA by the medicine process and the lifestyle change. Olsen recently joined the Air Force ROTC and said he took his medicine with him to physical training one morning. “Cpt. Cooksey — he’s in charge of the cadets — he saw me and asked me what was going on,� Olsen said. “So I told him I have MRSA, and he got this way serious look on his face, took three steps back and
said, ‘You need to go home right now.’� Olsen said this reaction is somewhat typical when people find out he has MRSA. “Most people don’t have a clue what it is,� Olsen said. “But I told one guy, and he said, ‘Whoa, don’t people, like, die from that?’ Oh gee, thanks.� Olsen has a doctors note stating his con-� dition is not contagious so long as he keeps it covered, and that he can still attend school. When Olsen is at home, he keeps the spot covered as well to protect himself and his roommates. The only time his skin is exposed is when he showers. “I have to wash down the shower with Clorox when I’m done, and I keep it cov-� ered and it’s fine,� Olsen said. Chris Wilson, junior in English educa-� tion, is Olsen’s roommate, and has been his friend since the two were 12, Wilson said. Wilson said his life hasn’t really been affected much, aside from having a little more clorox and a nurse in the house. “It’s interesting, I’ll wake up and walk to the shower and there will be a nurse there,� he said.

Making the Fieldhouse a home
Monday, Nov. 1, XXXX BY CARLI SORENSON staff writer
Nearly 700 people work out at the Nelson Fieldhouse every day, doing anything from playing a game of pick up basketball to lifting weights. Individuals are in and out of the Fieldhouse all day, but there is a group of people who have earned the title of a Fieldhouse regular. These students are in the Fieldhouse at least five times a week, and sometimes are found working out more than once a day. The “regulars� like to work out at the Fieldhouse for many dif-� ferent reasons. William

Fulton, a junior major-� ing in the conservation and preservation of wildlife, said he likes to go to the Fieldhouse because it’s “cheap, it’s close by, and overall it’s a good atmosphere. There is not a lot of creepy people, there is a decent amount of equip-� ment if you go at the right time of day.� Bridger Freeman, a freshman majoring in aerospace engineer-� ing, likes to go to the Fieldhouse because it gives him the chance to stay in shape. Freeman is in the Air Force ROTC, so he does “a lot of physical training in the morning.� He is in the Fieldhouse every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the ROTC, then he likes to lift weights and play basketball on top of working out with the ROTC. Fulton likes the accessibility of the Fieldhouse. He can text his friends saying something like “‘hey you guys, want to play some basketball?’ And ten minutes they are all there.� This offers a great route for students who want to work out. Fulton said “the only other option of students really is to go the Sports Academy.� Jason Gudmundson,

She said when she goes to the Fieldhouse she likes to “do a warm up thing around the track, do the ellipticals, and then mostly do weights,� and and she likes to “use the yoga mats as well.� Connor Tabvrski, a sophomore majoring in veterinary science, likes to go work out with his friends.

Tabvrski, on the other hand, says he “goes to the Fieldhouse to use the weight room.� He doesn’t “run around the track or use any of the other facilities.� He “mostly just lifts weights.� Tabverski said “I like working out. I love staying in shape. I love gaining strength and muscles. Its been something i’ve been working towards for a while now, and utilizing the Fieldhouse is defi-� nitely a step in the right direction.� Chris Dixon, a junior majoring in political science, also likes to go to the Fieldhouse to bench press and use the free weights.

Physical Education Club collects books for reservation BY VERA WOOD staff writer
USU’s Physical Education Club spent September taking action against poverty among the White Mountain Apache tribe in White River, Ariz. Patsy Bradfield, a close friend of USU Professor and Physical Education Club advi-‐ sor Hilda Fronske, started a book drive in late July after talking to a priest on the reser-‐ vation. Under the lead of Fronske, the club expanded the drive to include stocking hats, shirts, new gloves and mittens, all of which will be delivered to the reservation by Bradfield and her husband on Oct. 15. “It has just been so great what everyone has done,” Bradfield said. “It has snow-‐ balled into a wonderful proj-‐ ect.” Though the humanitar-‐ ian effort started started as a Cache Valley project, it quickly spread to USU, Bradfield said. Donations of books, hats, gloves and shirts have been donated from the LDS church, the Bridger Elementary School’s Read Today pro-‐ gram and USU students and faculty. Bradfield said one local woman by the name of Tamara Chambers donated 47 homemade stocking hats. “Each hat takes a day to make, and she made 47,” Bradfield said. She said she also had mul-‐
tiple children tell her of how they donated their favorite story book. “We started with nothing,” said Fronske, “And now it has turned into this.” The White Mountain Apache Indian Tribe is located on an impoverished Indian reservation located in Whiteriver, Arizona. The White River Indian Reservation is made up of three branches: Cibeque, Cedar Creek, and Whiteriver. Cibeque is the most impover-‐ ished of them all, according to Anna Reno, the secretary on the reservation. She said she believes Cibeque’s impoverish-‐ ment is in part due to the fact that they are located a full hour away from the closest library and pre-‐school. Reno said by the time the children of Cibeque enter school, they are intellectually behind. “It just isn’t practical,” Reno said. She said most of the families in Cibeque do not have cars, much less books. Their lack of transportation makes going to the library so impractical, it rarely happens. Bradfield, Fronske and Daily Gardner, a senior major-‐ ing in parks and recreation and president of the Physical Education Club, have collected more than 1200 books, 320 shirts, 200 hats, and 60 gloves and mittens. Fronske said the Physical

Education Club will be accept-‐ ing donations through Oct. 12 at 2 p.m. in the main office of the HPER building . She said they need books for ages nine through sixteen, brand new shirts size large or larger, brand new winter hats and brand new winter gloves and mittens. “We really especially need gloves,” Fronske said. The clothing and books will be distributed through the res-‐ ervation on a need basis. Reno said there is a deep apprecia-‐ tion for the service among the
White Mountain Apache Tribe. “They give us hope,” Reno said, speaking of the people who have donated and helped with the book drive. “Just the fact that someone knows and cares is huge, that someone who doesn’t even live in our state would give so freely and generously without expecting anything in return,” Reno said. “We trust that they will be repaid someday for this act of kindness and generos-‐ ity that brings us together in human conditioning, which
is what the world needs right now.” Most of the books will be going to Cibeque branch. Reno said there will be no discrimi-‐ nation between who can use the books and some children will be able to take some books home to keep. “Education is the keystone,” Bradfield said. “They need to have books to get out and see there is something more.” The books are going to be sorted into age group, fiction and nonfiction by the Physical Education Club. When the
sorted books get to Arizona, Reno’s sister Bernie Vorak will index all of the books and prepare them to be a part of a functioning library. The hope for the library is that it will give children an intellectual introduction prior to formal schooling. “We are now connected in some way,” Reno said, “Which is what it is all about. This is going to affect the future along with the present.”

Professor challenges America’s ‘religious bigotry’
BY JEFF KUNERTH
Orlando Sentinel (MCT)
ORLANDO, Fla. – In his first class of the fall semester, University of Central Florida professor Charles Negy suggested to his cross-‐cultural psychology students that they might want to read his email to last semester’s class that went viral on the Internet twice. In the email that created a sensation at the time and again just weeks before the fall term began, Negy chastised the devout Christian student who told the rest of the class to ignore the professor questioning their religious beliefs. “Students in my class who openly proclaimed that Christianity is the most valid religion, as some of you did last class, portrayed precisely what religious bigotry is. Bigots racial bigot (sic) or religious bigots never question their preju-‐ dices and bigotry. They are convinced their beliefs are correct,” Negy wrote. The confrontation between the agnostic professor and the Christian student is, in miniature, a re-‐enactment of the ongo-‐ ing clash in American society between strident true believers and increasingly vocal non-‐believers. “I think the tension you are seeing now is the more non-‐ believers there are, the less willing we are to accept that arro-‐ gant assumption” that Christianity is the only true religion, Negy said in an interview. “We are not going away any time soon, and the more of us there are, the more confident we feel.” About 19 percent of Americans now identify themselves as “unaffiliated” with any religion, including about 5 percent who say they are agnostic or atheist, according to a 2011 sur-‐ vey by the Pew Research Center. In 2008, 16 percent of adults identified themselves as unaffiliated up from 7.3 percent when they were children, according to Pew. Nationwide, 29 percent of Americans and 28 percent of Floridians say they do not believe in God, according to anoth-‐ er Pew survey. “There is certainly a concern about the increase of secular and non-‐religious people becoming more vocal,” said Mat Staver, chairman of the Liberty Counsel, a non-‐profit law firm that advocates for Christian religious views. “What we have seen in the past few years is an aggressiveness among atheists and non-‐believers toward those who believe in God.” Fred Edwords, national director of the United Coalition of Reason, said the rising profile of non-‐believers in the United States began around 2004 with several popular books by athe-‐ ists and humanists such as Christopher Hitchens. Local groups of atheists, agnostics, humanists and freethinkers began springing up throughout the nation, and a movement to unify the different varieties of non-‐believers started in 2009. Edwords compares the growing size and visibility of non-‐ believers to the gay-‐rights movement in its infancy. Non-‐ believers often refer to “coming out of the closet.” “What we are finding is more people coming out. We have four or five new groups in Orlando,” said Jack Maurice, found-‐ er of the Orlando Freethinkers & Humanists organization. “Coming out is a lack of fear.”

The increase in the non-‐ religious, along with declines in church attendance, is the subject of many sermons about the United States becoming a godless nation.

RETURNING TO PROVO Utah State safety gets second chance against Brigham Young University
BY TAVIN STUCKI sports editor
In one moment, it was all gone. The years of preparation, the hype, the expectation to play against his former school and friends-�turned-�opponents were all taken away as a yellow flag hit the grass and a referee made the call. Almost exactly a year ago on Sept. 30, 2011, then-�junior safety McKade Brady was ejected from the Utah State vs. BYU game. Brady wasn’t allowed to finish the first quarter before the referee flagged him for a personal foul and helmet-� to-�helmet hit on a defenseless receiver. “I don’t feel like I deserved to be ejected,� Brady said. “It was really frustrating, I had a lot of friends there, going to school there I obvi-� ously knew a lot of people there. I had like 50 text messages after the game so people were just mad about me getting kicked out and wanting to see me play.� Brady, who helped the Sky View High School football team win the 4A state tournament and was named Region 5 Defensive Player of the Year, originally attended BYU his freshman year. The Cove, Utah native competed in the track and field program, helping the Cougar 4x400-�meter relay team set a school-�record time of 3 minutes, 6.6 seconds at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2009. Brady said he has since seen picture evidence to prove he led with his shoulder pads and should have been allowed to play, but won’t let anyone believe this year’s game is anything more than any other rivalry matchup. “With a rivalry game like BYU I don’t think that it really matters what happened last year,� Brady said. Even if Brady himself won’t say he’s looking for revenge or redemp-� tion, others will say it for him. Senior linebacker Bojay Filimoeatu said Brady has been looking forward to the game for the last year. “He always tells me, ‘Man, it’s payback from last year,’� Filimoeatu said. “They kicked him out for free, basically. I’ve seen the hit, clearly he hit him right in the shoulder right

into the chest. It was just a letdown to see that happen and for the refs to call that.� They hype and anticipation of Brady’s return to Provo has been whispered about by many in Logan since that fateful day one year ago. Senior cornerback Will Davis
said Brady is “super focused� on football, despite all the talk. “Last game was a disappointing game,� Davis said. “He got ejected early. That’s something that all his family comes to see and that’s something that he gets super excit-� ed for, so this is a second chance.�
Aggie safeties coach Bill Busch said Brady has taken a business-�as-�usual approach to preparing for Friday’s game. “Every game is important,� Busch said. “The fact that things didn’t go

When Utah State takes LaVell Edwards Field at Cougar Stadium, the Aggies will be looking for revenge from last season’s 27-�24 loss to BYU in Provo.

Utah State safety and former BYU track star McKade Brady said USU needs to execute the game plan to have a good chance to win. “It’s a tough place to play in,� Brady said. “Whenever you go down to Provo, they have really
good fans and it’s loud. They do great job. They’re a physical team, they’re big. It’s going to be a hard game to win, but I think coaches always do a good job of putting us in a position to win the game, as long as we execute the game plan.� Brigham Young has the nation’s fifth-�best defense, although the Cougars — like the Aggies — have not faced a top-�tier offense this season.

From page 8 so well last year because of the situation, to be honest with you, we haven’t talked about it. We’ve joked about maybe staying in the game and that’s about it.� On the field, Brady has been nothing but serious, recording a team-�high 39 tackles through five games. “He’s been playing with
his hair on fire the whole year,� Filimoeatu said. Brady will get a chance to play in his second — well, first — Aggie game in Cougar Stadium when Utah State faces BYU on Friday at 8:15 p.m. “A lot of times you don’t get a second chance,� Davis said. “For Kade-�O, senior year, he gets a second chance with this at BYU
again, I don’t think he wants to mess up at all. He wants to have probably one of the best games of his career. I don’t blame him.� Brady said the feelings of winning an in-�state rivalry game are indescribable. “Trying to be the top team in the state, that will be a big game on Friday night to prove that,� Brady said. “We want to be that
team and we know BYU’s really tough team, and to beat them we’re going to have to play to the best of our abilities and play error-� free. It’ll be a hard one to win.� Utah State head coach Gary Andersen said Friday’s game is important to Brady. “It was taken away from him last year and whether you agree or don’t agree, it
was taken away from him,� Andersen said. “It was tough. I hope he has a great game this year and I hope he has a pleasant memory of this game.� At this point, Brady isn’t worried about memories of last season and doesn’t need any external motivation to play well Friday. “I don’t think it would mean anymore than it did
last year,� Brady said. “I have a lot of people down there that are coming to support me and watch me. It’s an in-�state rivalry game, BYU vs. Utah State. If that doesn’t get you motivated enough, I don’t know what will.� – tavin.stucki@aggiemail. usu.edu Twitter: @Stuckiaggies

NCAA FOOTBALL
Breaking down the WAC football matchups
Western Athletic Conference play is getting pretty well underway this week, so we at the Statesman wanted to put our predictions in print before we were right. We have a pretty good record so far. Just saying.
Utah State at BYU
It doesn’t take a genius to know the sports staff at a school newspaper is going to pick the hometown team. We don’t even need to go into how much we can’t stand BYU, zoobs or Riley Nelson.
But seriously, this one is going to come down to the wire. It may even come down to a field goal as time expires, Holy War style. Both defenses are pretty legit, but neither has faced a decent offense all season. Definitely take the under if you’re putting money on this one. New Mexico State at Idaho This one is a battle of those left behind, as both will be competing independent of a football conference next year. This
game may even be the start of a rivalry, because these two teams will likely face each other twice a year in the foreseeable future. We’ll take New Mexico State over Idaho in a pillow fight. This one will probably be a high scoring game, because whenever a pass is completed, it’ll likely end up in six points whether it’s the offense or defense.
marquee win wouldn’t have been Utah, BYU or even Wisconsin. La. Tech is the best team in the WAC thus far and will be the best team Utah State faces all year. And just look at what the Aggies did to UNLV. The Bulldogs will likely make them look even worse.
UNLV at Louisiana Tech
We would like to pick Texas State and be WAC homers here, but it’s just not going to happen. Neither team is very

good, but Texas State is still more like a “meh� FCS team. New Mexico is pretty bad too, but the Lobos are actually winning some games this season. That alone is enough to motivate a historically terrible football team. OK, OK, they beat Southern University and NMSU. Whatever, we’re still picking the Lobos.
USC will roll in this one. All you closet Ute fans in Logan will probably whine at us that USC is upset-prone, which is fair. But seriously bro, we’ve got two words for you — and they aren’t “upset alert.� Matt Barkley. Not even the supposedly dominant Utah defense will shut this guy down.

FOOTBALL: Utah State will try to tame Cougars in Provo rematch From page 8
and sits at a 3-�2 record. The Cougars are undefeated at home. Senior wide receiver Chuck
Jacobs, who has 17 catches for three touchdowns this season, said the Aggies just need to execute their game plan to get the win. “They have playmakers out
there on the defensive side of the ball, so it is just like going against us and our defense,� Jacobs said. “We have a lot of playmakers out there as well. If we continue on working hard
anything can happen.� Offensively, the Cougars are led in part by freshman run-� ning back Jamaal Williams, who has three touchdowns and 238 yards. Backup quar-�
terback Taysom Hill has seven total touchdowns. BYU quarterback Riley Nelson is listed at the top of the depth chart, but due to an injury sustained against Weber State earlier this season — and Hill’s superior stats — the freshman may get the nod. Brady said one key to the game was not dropping cover-� age when the BYU quarterback scrambles, whichever one it may be. “He does a great job of keep-� ing things alive with his feet,� Brady said of Nelson. “Keeping
the run bottled up, they’ve been running the ball really well, especially in this last game.� Friday may be the last time the two teams meet in the fore-� seeable future, as the current 2-�for-�1 deal is in its last year. BYU leads the all-�time series 44-�34-�3, but Utah State won two years ago in Logan and the Cougars won by only three last season.

Aggies take Homecoming victories BY CURTIS LUNDSTROM senior sports writer
After splitting a four-�game set with Colorado State from Sept. 21-�23, the Utah State club baseball team bounced back for a two-�game sweep of the Rexburg Rebels on Friday at home. “Overall we came out and hit the ball really well,� said club president Garrett Schiffman. “I was really happy with our approaches at the plate. Our pitching came through and we made some plays defensively.� Game 1 – Utah State 7, Rexburg 3

The Aggies jumped out to a 4-�0 lead in the first three innings and used a 3-�run sixth inning to seal the win. Jarren Tyler, Tyler Christensen and Mckay Hedin combined to toss a six-�hitter for USU, and Garrett Wallace had a big day at the plate. “Anytime Jarren is on the mound we feel pretty confident,� center fielder Matt Stranski said. “We played pretty solid. We’re really proud of Garrett. He came through in the clutch and helped us out big. Him and him alone was a big part of us winning that ball game.� Wallace had a double early to plate a pair of runs and then provided two more insurance runs in the sixth with a double that put the game out of reach after the Rebels had cut the gap to one. Game 2 – Utah State 13, Rexburg 12 Clinging to a 2-�1 lead in the third, USU broke the game open with nine runs in the fourth to take a commanding lead. The Rebels came storming back with seven runs of their own in the fifth and led 12-�11 in the seventh, but the Aggies were able to muster two runs in the bottom of the inning for a walk-�off win. “We got the big lead and I think we kind of sat back after that,� Schiffman said. “A lot of focus was lost. When you’re up quite a bit it’s easy to sit back and relax a little bit. We need to stay focused for the whole seven innings.� Brad Singer had a three-�run home run during the offensive breakout, but simple mistakes allowed the Rebels back in the game after USU had built an 11-�1 lead. After knotting the score at 12 in the seventh, Schiffman executed a well-�placed suicide squeeze to bring Stranksi to the plate for the win. “Rexburg has some solid ball players, they have some tal-� ent,� Stranski said. “Luckily we were able to prevent a com-� plete meltdown. Garrett always tells us that good ball teams find a way to win. And whenever you win two ball games it’s productive.� Utah State improved to 6-�4 on the season after the sweep and will face a pair of conference foes this weekend. First up is a double-�header against the University of Utah on Friday, starting at 6:30 p.m. in Providence, and a double-�header Saturday starting at noon against Idaho State. – curtis.lundstrom@aggiemail.usu.edu Twitter: @curtislundstrom

There’s no money in free parking Parking is tight. It’s been tight for years, and we don’t see any relief on the horizon. When Logan City changed three areas near campus from all-day parking to threehour parking, it placed further limits on students. This time last year, police reported an increase in people parking on the shoulder of An Editorial Opinion Highway 89, raising safety concerns. Parking officials acknowledged a need for more parking on the south side of campus, but it doesn’t look like that pressure will lessen any time soon. In the past few years, the university closed parking lots to make room for the new education building and the Regional Campuses and Distance Education building. As wonderful as new construction is, we’re running out of parking. Unless the next lot to turn into a structure is a new parking terrace or more campus housing, the situation will only get worse. The Aggie Shuttle is an invaluable service for students and faculty parking in areas such as the Stadium, but even this system has its shortcomings. For students who work on campus until 10 or 11 p.m., the Stadium is a long, dark walk away. Many faculty members are forced to park at the Stadium and ride the bus — probably not a great selling point for talented professors considering work at USU. The students lucky enough to get a parking space in the neighborhoods along 700 East have a shorter walk to the main campus than those who park in the Stadium and don’t want to wait for the shuttle. As those of us who have lived on 700 East can attest, cars line the streets every morning. During in-state rivalry games such as the U of U football game, the flood of cars spills into residential permit-only parking. Next year, the Aggie Life and Wellness Center project will enter its planning phase. Input gathered from students will largely shape the new building. We’ve yet to hear a conversation on how the center will affect mid-campus parking. Students should raise the issue. If the building turns out to be the center of student life as ASUSU and Student Services envision it, it’s patrons won’t all fit in the Big Blue Parking Terrace. Eventually, that terrace will need expansion regardless of the new buildings springing up around it — perhaps the student body could use its opportunity for input on the ALWC to put a spotlight on the issue.

ForumLetters Cut Golf team, promote a club To the editor: Think about this: When did the USU men’s golf team make national headlines, or when was the last time a member of the golf team shaking up the golfing world by competing in the PGA Tour? In the history of Utah State, the golf team has produced only one golfer who competes in the PGA Tour consistently. One player since 1948 has gone onto to be a competitor on the tour, and he graduated in 1980. Here is the harsh reality: men’s golf has got to go. Just as every business cuts unnecessary costs, so USU athletics should do to the men’s golf program. According to athleticscholarship. com, it costs the university $213,897 to fund the golf team annually, but
the revenue gained is only $175,059. It is not in the interest of the university to keep such an unprofitable sport that most people only play recreationally anyway. Besides, when was the last time people got excited and the HURD pulled out all the stops to get everyone to the next golf tournament, following the players hole to hole yelling, “winning team, losing team� every time a player hit a birdie or yell “stupid� every time a player missed a putt. The solution is that the university should drop the golf team for either a men’s hockey team or baseball team. Having a sponsored men’s hockey or baseball team would allow Utah State to compete nationally in another sport which would bring the school publicity and more donors while being able to increase the revenue for the athletics program. Seriously, think about if the Eccles ice arena
Sports Senior Writer Curtis Lundstrom was renovated with a real scoreboard, more seats, and a broadcast booth. It would be the Spectrum on ice. The hockey team is already a consistent contender every year and the HURD already shows up to the games in full support. It just makes sense to give the team its dues to become an official team at Utah State University. It’s easier for students to make the quick drive up to North Logan than for students to get to a golf tournament in St. George, Utah or Mesquite, Nev. This is not a slam on the golf team’s work ethic or competitiveness. It just doesn’t make sense to have a sport team that never plays in Logan and practices down in Cedar City and St. George nine months out of the year. Utah State being located in Cache Valley is not conducive to a sport like golf. Justin Harrison

Athletics: Teams, fans some of the best The HURD has been rocking it so far this year. We have been loud, annoying, and “bulligerent.� It has been a blast. For those ASUSU that haven’t gotten the View message, the HURD is no longer a private club. Any student who is a part of this university and attends a game is a part of the HURD. It is the entire student section, at any event. That said, get out and support your Aggies! The whiteout last Saturday for Homecoming was amazing, and I would like to thank everyone who showed up dressed in white in support of the football team. The team is now 4-1 and looks to improve greatly on their best start to a season in over 30 years. Gary Andersen has done an amazing job rebuilding what was a stumbling program into the program that stomps over its rivals from down south. Friday’s game against BYU looms large. If we beat them it will be the first time since 1978 that we beat both UTAH and BYU in the same season, and our record will improve to 5-1. Football is looking good. In the realm of the Spectrum we have an amazing volleyball team that is 2nd in the WAC right now and improving as the season goes on.

University excels at service Rather than taking a side and offering Words an opinion from that tends the to be a criWise tique of a problem, I would like to offer more of an observation. Utah State University has some of the most service-minded and community-oriented students in the nation. Having seen many winters now at USU, I reflect on the growth of the service-learning community at USU and the many students that I have had the privilege of working with and know I am one of the luckiest people alive. In the time I have been here, I have seen the birth or growth of the Val Christensen Service Center, the USU America Reads Program, the Utah Conservation Corps, the implementation of service learning in many classrooms, the creation of

the Service Learning Certification that is awarded to students with their diploma, an ever growing group of AmeriCorps volunteers through the Utah Campus Compact, the Blue Goes Green organization, the Student Sustainability Council and Aggie Blue Bikes. The list goes on and on. USU students see what needs to be done and take action to make a difference. Every one of the above organizations began as a single person’s idea and through determined effort has become part of USU. America Reads began as a handful of tutors working in five schools. The program grew to a very committed group of more than 100 tutors working in 25 schools. Every day, 100 or more USU tutors are working in our community with the students in public schools, providing a safe environment and learning opportunities that they would not be getting otherwise. The Utah Conservation Corps grew from a small group of AmeriCorps Vista volunteers to a nationally rec-
