Either way it The ropes course director, Patrick Bentley, said he wanted “It’s really simple,” Bentley explained. “They have to use gets the couples talking to each other,” he said. students to be able to date where communication was the main three buttons maximum. Anyone can learn.” Scarlet Fronk, a senior majoring in English, said that being creative was the best part of the date. “My favorite place was when my date and I ended up at the outdoor amphitheater. We had to act out a scene from a play on the stage and it was hilarious,” Fronk said. Fronk said another outrageous thing she and her date did was posing for pictures with the statues. “The Edith Bowen statue with all the kids around her was probably the best. We posed like the little kids. It was pretty hilarious,” she said. At the end of the date, the last way-point for all the couples is the same, bringing everyone back together for what Bentley calls “debriefing.” The couples usually end up somewhere where they have a light snack – Aggie Ice Cream, for example – and Bentley collects the cameras and quickly loads each couple’s photos onto his laptop. “While everyone is enjoying their snack, we watch a slide- show of everything that each couple did at the way-points,” Bentley said. The actual USU ropes course closes down on Oct. 31, but Bentley said he is experimenting with the possibility of year- round, off-site date nights, the GPS date night included. “This year will be the first year that we’re trying to stay open year round. I love it though because I get paid to play,” Bentley said. Another one of Bentley’s new ideas is the thought of couples using tandem bikes on the GPS date to navigate around cam- pus. He says it builds a better sense of team work. “Guys need to learn how to surrender authority sometimes and realize that the women are just as capable,” he said. The idea with the bikes is that one person controls the front half and steers in the right direction, while the other sits on the back half and uses the GPS. The combined effort gives the couples a sense of team work. Fronk and her date were the guinea pigs for the tandem bike experiment. “We were mostly testing for distance,” she said. “We had to ride all over campus, back and forth, but it was definitely

Agriculture month entertains students Songs such as “The Messenger” reach out to youth with a message of love. “Iridescent” gives a message of hope for the downtrodden. That’s all well and good, but it seems a little weird to me that a band who used to sing lyrics such as “...crawling in my skin,” and “...I think of how I shot myself in the back again,” are now singing “...remember all the sadness and frustration and let it go” and “...when life leaves us blind love keeps us kind” How sweet. Someone must have been pouring the sugar on thick the day they wrote that song. I see only two explanations for this sudden shift in lyri- cal motifs. One, that Linkin Park has released this album as some sort of penance for causing so many 13-year-olds to commit various sins such as taunting the cute little red- head. Or two, their tour bus doesn’t get any TV except for the Oprah Winfrey show, Touched by an Angel reruns, and Hallmark movies. Apparently realizing that they were about to be asked to start careers as motivational speakers or White House Press Secretaries, the band members managed to fit enough profanity in to ineffectively mask their newly- found feminine natures, a technique unused in their early albums. And if that wasn’t enough of a contradiction, they even put a song that seems to glorify violence right before one that uses the audio from a Martin Luther King, Jr. quote against war. Granted, they do digitally alter King’s voice as to make the most non-violent American in history sound like a serial killer, but I’m not sure it helps their case. In short, this album was anything but what I expected.

People will stop and ask me if I know where a building is and I won’t be able to tell them,” he said. “The GPS date is great for freshmen to get more acquainted and familiar with campus.” There are a total of 42 way- points across campus and each time couples go, they get a different set, so it’s always a new adventure. Fronk said that it was like a scavenger hunt and she “would recommend this to anyone, even if you’re going on a date for the first time. It’s really a great chance to get to know someone.” Check out the USU ropes course website to sign up or for more information.
