Page 4 Sp orts Coaching legend returns for Homecoming BY MEGAN ALLEN assistant news editor There are four hurdles Dale Brown everyone will encounter in life. No matter who the person or the path they're taking, there will be adversity, but there are ways to get over these hurdles. These hurdles and the ways to jump over them were the focus of former USU assistant basketball coach Brown's message to students, community members and former student-athletes Friday, as part of Homecoming Week. "Adversity only visits the strong but stays with the weak," Brown said. Many of Brown's former players were in Logan for the weekend to serve as grand marshals in the parade. Jeff Tebbs was one of those players who played for USU from 1970-1972. "We had a great mix of coaches and great combination of players," Tebbs said. "Coach Brown pushed us for fitness. It made us tougher. They were some of the best coaches the state has ever seen." Brown was the assistant basketball coach at USU from 1966-1971. After leaving Logan, he coached at Washington State before moving again to spend the remainder of his career at Louisiana State. At LSU, he coached eventual NBA players like Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Jackson and Stanley Roberts. He was the winningest coach in BY BRACKEN ALLEN The Jon M.

Sept. 26, the Professional Development Luncheon will allow students to meet and talk with career accelerators, internship advisers and faculty. The idea of this is to provide students with internal networking within the Huntsman School, Marsden said. There will also be an Alumni Networking Dinner Sept. 28, for $18, at which students will be able to eat a steak dinner with USU Business College alumni and make connections that, Marsden said, could become invaluable after graduation. Additionally, a special "Jeopardy" series will "show students' prowess and analytical rigor," Marsden said. This "Jeopardy" event will feature 20 students over three separate days of competition. The marquee event of the week happens Friday, when the football game played at BYU will be aired on a giant, inflatable projector screen in the Fieldhouse. Although the event itself is free, any profit made from food sales and games will be donated to Huntsman Cancer Institute. Marsden said he hopes to get a good turnout at the Fieldhouse during the football game. He said it's a "BYOC" event — students must bring their own chair, cushion, couch or anything else to sit on. He said he wants it to be a fun, relaxed environment. There will be raffle tickets sold for prizes including headphones, Dillard's packs with lotion, clothes and other Dillard's merchandise inside, and Huntsman merchandise. He said organizers will work to raise money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute, alongside the USU chapter of Sigma Chi as 43See BUSINESS, Page 2 GRC encourages student involvement in politics BY CHRIS LEE news senior writer Added Value!

It is their goal to get students involved in politics at any level and make their voices heard. KATRINA PERKINS photo The Government Relations Council is changing the way it spreads civic awareness on campus. ASUSU Executive Vice President Kirsten Frank said she is not going to be doing a civic awareness week this year. "I feel like I can accomplish the same purpose in a much more meaningful and specialized way," she said. Frank said she is planning a speaker series, which she is tentatively calling "Why I Care." The series will take place during each of the college weeks and will bring a speaker who is a politician or a politically active person who works in a field related to the college whose week it is. She gave an example pertaining to Engineering Week. "I'm going to bring in somebody who is probably a legislator, who is also by trade an engineer, and I'm going to have him talk to the students, specifically from that college — but everybody will be invited — about why it's important if you're in an engineering field to pay attention to the world around you," Frank said. USU student and returning council member Benjamin Wilson said this year's council members have a diverse range of majors, and he hopes to reach a more diverse audience with this speaker series. "In the past, the council has really gravitated heavily toward political science students, and this year we're really trying to make a concerted effort to be in contact with other colleges, other majors," Wilson said. "It doesn't just affect political science majors." Wilson said many non-political science majors don't pay attention to politics, because they feel like it doesn't affect them as engineering or mathematics majors. He said the speaker series will show them why they should care. Frank said the council also works with different political organizations on campus.
