Smith said although the team is not winning, she wants students to be aware of all of the progress both the coach and the team have made. Christie Bagley, senior in music composition and current HURD member, said the support for the football team and other sports that are not necessarily doing well is one of the reasons she decided to join the HURD in thefirstplace. "I think the HURD is cool," Bagley said. "It ties us together as students more, and it helps us support our fellow students instead of bashing on them. We all make mistakes and even though they reflect on us as stu- dents, I think it is still important for us to stick it together." HURD is for student athletes and for students who just want to support the athletes. "I am really not an athletic person, but I really liked getting involved and going to games and supporting the school," Smith said. Cami Jones, undeclared freshman who is also a member of the HURD committee, said she thinks it is especially important for athletes to go out and support the athletes on other teams. "I think that any team has bad streaks, and you need to go support everybody," Jones said. "In high school we weren't the best, but we try to support as many other teams in hopes of getting support in return." HURD organizers said they hope to have more people come out and support them and the athletics teams throughout the school year, Darrington said. If students want to get involved, they have to pay $20 and sign up either at one of the events or in the Student Involvement Office in theTaggart Student Center Room 326, she said. Smith said she thinks HURD is for every person at USU and she would love for the club to keep expanding. "There is always fun with HURD." Smith said. "Anyone who loves to be an Aggie should be in this club." J I Famous 00 Aggie Ice Cream $1off Squeaky Cheese •<lcbrnjoy.h@(iggientaii usu.edu Cheddar Cheese Curd 8oz tub.

"I was really nervous, but the first time I touched down it was a good feeling. When you pull it off it's a big confidence booster." Ovard said one of the biggest concerns for students in the professional pilot program is the high cost. In addition to tuition, flight costs can be a minimum of $44,000, Clifford said. "You have to be dedicated," Ovard said. "I plan on using financial aid, getting a summer sales job and trying to get through quick to save some money." Although the costs are high, Schow said the money is worth it for the chance to take what he loves and turn it into a career. "If you loveflying,don't let the money scare you," he said. One reason the cost to go through the program is worth it, Heiner said, is because many commercial airlines are in need of pilots. Heiner said pilots are in high demand right now because the baby boomers have just reached the age of mandatory retirement. With so many pilots retiring, ClifTord said now is the time to get into aviation. "If (every school) put out all their pilots," Clifford said, "we still could not meet the needs." Although the price toflymay seem high, Gilford said it is one of the cheapest air programs students can find. And while costs may be I low compared to other schools, Clifford said USU also has one of the most modem training fleets. Right now the school has a fleet of 10 Diamond DA-40 Diamond Star and two Diamond DA-42 Twin Star airplanes for primary, instrument and multiengine training, all equipped with glass cockpits. They also have three Piper Arrow airplanes, which are used for commercial training. For Schow and Ovard, one of the best tilings about majoring in aviation technology and becoming a pilot is getting toflyto different places, they both said. "One day weflewup to Jackson Hole, had lunch and flew back down in time for class," Schow said. Ovard said traveling a lot as a pilot will have its ups and downs. He said he is excited to travel to places other than Utah but that it will be hard not to see his wife as much. In the end though, Ovard said as a commercial pilot, he will only be gone for three days out of the week and will have the rest of the time to spend with his family. The traveling and flexible schedule are reasons Ovard said he is excited to do what he loves and get paid for it. Heiner agreed, saying, "It's an exciting career.
