By Alyssa Roberts NEWS STAFF WRITER

Utah State University’s InterFraternity Council voted Monday to invite the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity to open a chapter on campus. This will be the second time the fraternity, nicknamed “FIJI,” will have a presence on campus — its original USU chapter closed in 1997 after nearly 30 years. Sigma Chi president Matthew Morgan said it wasn’t any “large event that brought the chapter crashing down.” Membership just sort of “fizzled out.” Other organizations were considered, including Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Tau Kappa Epsi- lon. But in the end, IFC decided FIJI would be the best choice. “We were impressed with the standards they set for their brotherhood, their current academic and philanthropy successes they’ve seen throughout the years, and felt that they would be able to add a new and individual piece to our community — that they wouldn’t take away from any of our organizations but also add to them,” said Ryker Moore, the president of Al- PHOTOS BY Ari Prier pha Sigma Phi, USU’s newest fraternity.

A diverse group of demonstrators then met that evening in the Taggart Student Center to discuss how the Black Lives Matter movement applied to them individually. For some, it was a matter of showing solidarity with all humans – for others, motivation to teach people they interacted with awareness of their own privileges and responsibilities. For junior Edward Borenstein, it was a means of discussing racial privilege and the hypocrisy see “McMullin” PAGE 3 that he says come with it. “When ever have you had a problem that you say, ‘Oh stop talking about it, it’s going to go away?’ You don’t do that to problems, it’s just when it’s inconvenient to you,” Borenstein said amidst chuckles from the crowd. Growing up in the south, Borenstein said he was taught to believe the Black Lives Matter movement was inherently racist and violent, so he felt he was in a unique position to dispel that stigma. “I’m trying to be a voice that shows people there is such a thing as white privilege,” Boren- stein said, “and we need to acknowledge these people and what they’re facing.” For Naden Mohamed, BSU’s vice president, the Black Lives Matter movement is a means of reclaiming her identity.

SPORTS The mild west shootout Aggies (1-6) face off with Nevada (1-6) for this season’s Mountain West finale

By Taylor Emerson SPORTS STAFF WRITER

Nobody plans for a season like this. They just happen. They happen when your school graduates almost all of its offensive talent. They happen when the defensive juggernauts are shipped away to the NFL. They happen when the coaching carousel has spun faster than it ever has before. In sports speak, a rebuilding year can be translated to, “don’t get your hopes up.” But this wasn’t supposed to be a rebuilding year, and it wasn’t billed to Aggie Nation as one either. It is. The Aggies are 3-7 overall and 1-6 in the Mountain West heading into Saturday’s game at Nevada. They lost to Colorado State and New Mexico after holding a two-score lead at halftime in both games. They’ve been blown out by USC, Wyoming and San Diego State by 89 points, collectively. They’ve failed to win games down the stretch, falling to Air Force and Boise State by double digits after being within a field goal. This will mark the second straight losing season, the first since Gary Andersen’s 2009 and 2010 campaigns. To add insult to injury, the chances to reach a sixth straight bowl game are slim to none. This has been a rebuilding year, but if there is a consolation prize, Nevada is in the same boat. Both teams are in a similar situation. Both are in the middle of a losing streak and carry a 3-7 overall record with a single conference win. Both teams single win in the conference has come against a lowly Fresno State squad. “Nevada is similar to us in a lot of ways in that they are very talented,” USU head coach Matt Wells said. “They’ve had some close losses, they’re searching for a win and fighting and scratching at the end of the year, so I know we’ll get a very good game with them.” Having already faced a stable of the NCAA’s top rushers, Utah State will add another top talent to that list. James Butler will follow the challenges presented by SDSU’s Donnel Pumphrey, Wyoming’s Brian Hill, Boise State’s Jeremy McNichols and New Mexico’s Tyrone Owens. Butler already has 1,021 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground this year, along with 281 yards and two scores through the air. “He’s got strong legs, he runs with good balance,” Wells said. “He’s shifty and guys hit him and you see him spin or move out of a hit and fall forward to make a couple yards here and there. He’s been a very productive back for them over time, and been a very durable player, too.” While the Wolf Pack boast a strong running game, they don’t score many points. Nevada’s 22.2 points per game is the conference’s second lowest, but Utah State’s 24 per game isn’t much better. The Aggies and Wolf Pack also allow a similar amount of points. USU’s defense has given up 28.6 points per game, while Nevada is surren- dering 30 points per contest. Kent Myers has performed admirably through the previous three games, going 49 of 82 for 679 yards and three touchdowns. Starting Aggie running back Tonny Lindsey has struggled in the same span, only rushing for 106 total yards and two touchdowns. Although typically the NCAA’s bowl selection committee doesn’t invite teams that are below .500, last year a handful of teams made it to a bowl game even at a 5-7 mark.
