Aggie Blue Bikes is a student student-run bike shop that is located right by the Field House. This organization is funded by $2.78 of student fees. Recently, the student board has been discussing a change in student fees. The $2.78 fee pays for 24- hour rentals, open access bicycle tool boards, free and cheap bike parts, community events, and educational classes. 

If you want to help this program, students are hosting a protest on the Quad at 1 p.m. on February 18th. They ask that you wear a mask, ride a bike (if you have one) and bring an attitude for peaceful change.

If you are unable to attend send emails to james.morales@usu.edu, noelle.cockett@usu.edu, president.ususa@usu.edu, and linda.zimmerman@usu.edu. In your email include what Aggie Blue Bikes means to you, and how valuable this program is to students. Please send in your email before 4 p.m. today.

“On Thursday last week, the Bureau of Land Manag “On Thursday last week, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rushed to issue a lease to allow drilling within the soon designated wilderness area. The project will allow extensive construction in the usually quiet Labyrinth wilderness, including road building, well construction, pipelines, infrastructure, and building a 10-acre processing facility on nearby Utah School Trust Lands. This drilling would be for helium, which has similar impacts of oil and gas drilling.

“At the end of the day, that moment of realizati “At the end of the day, that moment of realization before swipe, click, and camera is necessary. Why are you actually outside? Why do you actively participate in these sports? Why does the photograph never look as good as the moment? If no answer comes to mind the phone should maybe stay in the car. Take every time spent in the great outdoors with these thoughts of some yogi, “view every moment as if you are seeing it in the crystal clear reflection of water: brand new, fresh, and awe-inspiring.’”
