Rebuilding the Ravine
Marchandrea Seals STAFF WRITER
The Jaguar Community has found relief after a long line of questioning in regards to the construction of the bridge located across from the Intramural Complex Center. This site is one of the many projects being done to improve Southern University‘s ravine, which suffered damage from the Mississippi River. Some of the damages include erosion, floding, and a cracking foundation around the bridge. The University has a contract with the United States Army Corps. of Engineers of New Orleans and CKY Incorporated. The US Army Corps. of Engineers are on scene to supervise the site. The production of improving the ravine has been going on for months and could be longer. What many don’t know, is that workers are delayed when river tides come through the campus. Work resumes after the tide dies down. Being that students use this bridge daily to get to the heart of campus, workers are making a conscious effort to protect the bridge’s foundation. Currently there are 150 forward pipes being installed to control the flow of the water and the create sufficient bridge stability. Endas Vincent, Assistant Director of Service Planning had discussed how these damages occurred. “In the spring time, the ice melts up north of the Mississippi River and the water in the river increases,” said Vincent. “Then the water comes into the ravine and stays there for a while
Astavven Cotton/DIGEST Construction continues at the University’s ravine located near the back of campus. Workers have used precaution in ensuring that students make it safely across the campus ravine.
until the water in the Mississippi River goes down and then the water succeeds and when it succeeds, it causes these damages.” Flooding in the ravine happens when the Mississippi River gets too high and the water comes back in the ravine (overflowing) to where the street dips in specific areas located at the checkpoint near Residential Housing. Every time it rains, on campus students and commuters have to go around this
area. This factor leads to erosion. Freshman business major Taylor Williams, from Natchitoches said he is glad that improvements are finally being made. “I believe these improvements to our campus will give us a new look and up to date campus,” said Williams. “That bridge really needed to be fixed and that spot that floods every time it rains, needs to stop,” Williams finished. Vincent said the work being done on
the ravine will be very beneficial for Southern University students, faculty, and staff. “Our bridge will be much more stable and it will not collapse, it wont be a catastrophic failure,” said Vincent. “The pipes would be designed so that water would not come out on the road anymore but we will eventually have to raise that road up as well.”
JSU seeks legal action against Grambling, SWAC Associated Press
As the Jaguar Basketball Team hit thJackson State has asked the Mississippi attorney general to help it explore legal action against Grambling State and perhaps the Southwestern Athletic Conference to recover as much as $600,000 lost when Grambling’s football team refused to travel to Jackson State’s homecoming game.
Inside this Issue:
Documents obtained through an open records request show that Jackson State has been pushing the Mississippi attorney general’s office for five months to pursue legal action, The ClarionLedger reported Sunday. In a Nov. 5 email to Deputy Attorney General Onetta S. Whitley, Jackson State interim counsel Matthew Taylor wrote, “What JSU will likely need is guidance
on the procedural process to have AG approval to pursue litigation against Grambling and the SWAC.” He also asked for a public statement of support from Hood’s office: “We need to have our JSU family ensured that the university is acting in good faith and with the full support of the AG’s office.” The university’s persistence and the newspaper’s inquiries have led Attorney General Jim Hood to review the plea
for help, the paper reported. Grambling’s players boycotted the Jackson State game because of issues including Grambling’s run-down facilities, long bus trips to road games and personnel decisions. Jackson State’s vice president of finance, Michael Thomas, said losing the homecoming game money has put the Mississippi school’s budget out of balance for the first time in years.

The Institutions of Higher Learning requires a balanced budget each year, and Jackson State has had one “for a few years now. For the first time in years, JSU is requesting from IHL an exception to this policy,” he said. Ticket refunds accounted for about $475,000 of the estimated $540,000 to $600,000 total, Jackson State officials wrote SWAC LEGAL ACTION Continued P3.

officials in an email on Nov. 1. According to the documents, a Nov. 8 statement from SWAC Commissioner Duer Sharp said Grambling must pay Jackson State $50,000 and play JSU in Jackson each of the next three seasons. But the $50,000 will be “taken out of future conference distributions,” Sharp said in the statement, which was not public. The conference’s public statement on Nov. 13 said Grambling would face financial penalties but did not give the figure. Grambling spokesman Will Sutton had said earlier that it would be $20,000. And although Grambling will play in Jackson in 2014 through 2016, JSU gets only one extra home game in the annual series over the next four years. The 2015 game was already scheduled
AP Photo/Nick Ut Former NFL safety Darren Sharper sits in Los Angeles Superior Court Thursday, March 13, 2014. Sharper must remain in a Los Angeles jail without bail after he was indicted in Arizona on charges of drugging and sexually assaulting two women, a California judge ruled Thursday. While making her decision, Superior Court Judge Renee Korn rejected a motion by Sharper’s lawyers to release him on house arrest and said Arizona authorities want to extradite the Super Bowl champion to face trial in that state after he is tried on similar charges in California. He was previously released on $1 million bail in the California case but turned himself in on Feb. 27 after an arrest warrant was issued in New Orleans. He has not been charged in that state.
in Jackson. And the 2017 game, originally scheduled in Jackson, has been changed to Grambling, SWAC officials notified JSU on Wednesday. Grambling spokesman Will Sutton spoke about the matter only in general terms, and would not say whether Grambling believed the penalties were fair or JSU’s loss estimates accurate, the newspaper reported. “With Grambling State and Jackson State, you have two historically black universities from two different states but in the same conference. ... The two universities are like family,” Sutton said. “I have a cousin who teaches at Jackson State. So these aren’t just JSU administrators to us. We’re highly competitive, but they’re family and friends.” Sutton added, “I’m sure the arrangement determined by the conference between JSU and Grambling will begin to erase last fall’s disappointment. No, it’s not

going to make it go away. But we’re looking forward to playing JSU on the gridiron the next three years.” In addition to the $476,000 lost due to ticket refunds, JSU estimated it lost $60,320 in parking, $25,951 from concessions and $9,000 in vendor space. It also had to pay Veterans Memorial Stadium employees nearly $6,000 to handle refunds and almost $14,000 for a concert to replace the game. Hood told The Clarion-Ledger that a public statement like the one Taylor requested is “not something we normally do, especially when it involves somebody in another state. They can sue you for declaratory judgment.” Hood also said he had his staff to check on whether the schools and conference have any sort of agreement not to sue, and didn’t hear back from Jackson State about that. “We aren’t even sure there was a contract
between the two schools for the game. So it was our view that they decided to drop the whole thing,” he said. JSU interim counsel Matthew Taylor said he had sent Deputy Attorney General Onetta S. Whitley a copy of the contract soon after the forfeit. He said he re-sent it Tuesday. Signed by both university presidents, it covers all athletic events between the two schools during the 2013-14 school year. It says neither party will be held accountable for loss or damages due to causes beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, “acts of God, strikes, epidemics, war, riots, flood, fire, sabotage, terrorist activity or threat, closure or congestion of airports, order or restriction by any government authority or any other circumstances of like character.” It does not address a boycott by scholarship football players.

Felix Cunningham III Sports Editor It all starts in one’s backyard believing in a dream of a ball and flashing lights. When one hears of basketball, no one hears the screeching of dusty old sneakers off of the pavement or the ricocheting of a ball off of a goal without a net. When the general populous hears of basketball, they think about the NBA, NCAA, and the Harlem Globetrotters offering soul competition and entertainment to the masses that win to attain fame. On Friday March 21 the Southern University Men’s Federation held their 5 on 5 sporting event at the Horace Wesley Moody Sr. Intramural Sports Complex. Both men and women students of Southern University were invited to hoop it out with hopes of becoming Intramural Sports League Champions. To qualify to play students couldn’t have a scholarship or collegiate basketball background. Players had to have either raw talent or a rookie background. “This league is just for fun, but these people can hoop,” said freshman Business Management major Taylor Williams. “Southern will sometimes recruit from intramural sports seeing that the talent here is above exceptional,” said Director of Campus Recreation Coach Melvin Robinson. “Pete Richardson offered a student a chance to play varsity on the football team so there’s room to see who will be picked up, “finished Robinson.

T h e Splackavellies, clad in black, were a team of men under the ranks of six foot even offered quick bursts of energy while shooting the ball. It was almost as a beam of light was flashing towards your eyes and the ball would connect with net. The Rockets was a team of men that stood over six feet, led with fluent maneuvers and went to the basket with ease. It’s a tactician’s game with this team as they led with planning to force and yet ease the ball into the paint. Once the trials of sudden death ended the Splackavellies took the title of men’s Intramural Sports Champions with the score of 60-57. At the end, the intensity almost ended in a brawl, nevertheless they were awarded green shirts for their hard work achieved in the game. Lance Howard with an effort from the Rockets with 22 points and coming up from behind was Thadius Fortune with 19 points. For the Splackavellies, Jerome Wilson scored a team high of 22 points to accost the win. Both Intramural teams will advance to Louisiana Tech and face other intramural teams from all over the state from April 25April 27.

Fire vs The Dominators. The Girls on Fire offered a collegiate level of play and set the tone like the title that was given to them. Their defensive combat batted away, and The Dominators could have and even stop the ball from The Dominators gaining momentum down the court. Not only did they offer an impeccable and yet overpowering defensive strategies but as well a driving ball down the court and brought every shot to connect with the net. The candle that was lit to only offer competition ended in an inferno with the win from the Girls on Fire 40-25. Bria Reed and Desiree Bagby scored the team high of 13 points for the Girls on Fire and Brianna Arnold scored the high of 8 points for The Dominators. The women were awarded pink shirts accosting their sportsmanship conduct within the game. Now the men came onto the court. Only witnesses that stood and watched could claim the game as fierce and one could only feel the intensity these students brought to the game. This game was the Splackavellies against the Rockets. The crucial moment of the game was when the buzzer sounded and the game was sure to come to close until they looked at the scoreboard and there lied a score of 51-51. Two minutes were added to the clock and the terms of sudden death made intensity of the game increase ten-fold. The crowd stood on their feet and watched the game in awe of the raw talent that was standing before them. “Make sure the clock is right, I don’t want to hear that anyone is cheating,” said Robinson.
A long-awaited museum dedicated to the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks will open to the public at the World Trade Center site on May 21, officials announced Monday. The opening will follow a May 15 ceremony and a six-day dedication period during which the museum will be open around the clock for 9/11 family members, rescue and recovery workers and others directly affected by the 2001 attacks, said Joe Daniels, president of the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum. “We want to make sure that our doors are open for them to see it before the public does,” Daniels said. The museum includes two core exhibitions at the foundation of the trade center complex. One of them, called “In Memoriam,” pays tribute to the 2,983 people killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks as well as the six people killed in a truck bombing at the trade center on February 26, 1993. The other, a three-part historical exhibition, tells the story
of Sept. 11 and explores what led to the terrorist strikes. The museum’s regular hours will be 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. “This is a major milestone,” Daniels said. “It’s just a very real marker of the rebirth of the World Trade Center.” Planners had originally hoped that the museum could open in 2011, on the 10th anniversary of the attacks. Construction delays were made worse by flooding caused by Superstorm Sandy and by a funding dispute with the site’s owner, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, stopping all work for nearly a year. The planned ticket price of $24 has angered some Sept. 11 family members. Retired Deputy Fire Chief Jim Riches and Sally Regenhard, each of whom lost firefighter sons in the attacks, complained earlier this year that the museum “was never intended to be a revenuegenerating tourist attraction with a prohibitive budget and entrance fee.” Museum officials defend the planned ticket price, saying the museum’s operations are privately funded.

A New Legislative Session Begins and So Does the Battle Question of the Day

CAESAR SMITH, JR. STAFF WRITER With the Southern University Health Center partnering with Louisiana Health Equity to host the first Health Crusaders , which encouraged students to sign up for Health Care. I’ve decided to inform the student body of what’s actually going on. Legislative Session Summary Last week the Louisiana Legislators started a new legislative session, which are three main issues that have taken center stage. Among the others those key issues are minimum wage, reigning in the annual percentage rates on payday lending and expanding health care coverage. Although key legislation is coming down the pipe, there is trouble that will set off a firestorm next year during tax season. Cap annual interest rates on payday loans at 36 percent Payday lenders knowingly trap thousands of Louisianans in long-term cycles of debt that often results in bankruptcy, bank account overdrafts and delinquency on other bills. Payday lending also drains money from local and state economies, and it is correlated
with higher rates of violent crime, property crime and home foreclosure. Currently in Louisiana, the APR on payday loans can soar as high as 782 percent. Senator Ben Nevers of Bogalusa and Representative Ted James of Baton Rouge have both filed bills aimed at achieving this policy goal. Senate Bill 84 by Senator Ben Nevers of Bogalusa has been assigned to the Senate Committee on Judiciary A. The bill has not been scheduled to be heard. House Bill 239 by Representative Ted James of Baton Rouge has been assigned to the House Committee on Commerce. The bill has not been scheduled to be heard. Raising the minimum wage A recent LSU poll found that Louisianans strongly favor establishing a state minimum wage of at least 8.50 an hour that would keep pace with the cost of living. Currently, Louisiana has no state minimum wage law and follows the federal minimum wage. Rep. Herbert Dixon of Alexandria is seeking to change that with House Bill 356 that would create a state minimum wage of $8.25 beginning in July of 2015, $9 an hour in July of 2016 and would rise each year with the cost of living starting in 2017. The bill is assigned to the House Committee on Labor and Industrial Relations but has not been scheduled to be heard. There are currently 14 bills filed this session that deal with minimum wage issues. We will be following them and updating you on their progress throughout the session.
Expand health coverage to low-income adults Last year, the Legislature and governor failed to take advantage of an opportunity to provide health security for 400,000 low-income adults - a move that would also have saved money in the state budget and made room for other investments. But the opportunity still exists for Louisiana to accept federal funds to expand Medicaid coverage for low-income adults and bring in an estimated $15.8 billion to the state’s economy over the next decade. House Bill 536 by Rep. Patricia Smith of Baton Rouge and Senate Bill 107 by Sen. Ben Nevers of Bogalusa would direct the Department of Health Hospitals to seek a waiver from the federal government to allow federal Medicaid dollars to be used to help uninsured adults at 138 percent of the poverty level buy private insurance. Neither bill has been scheduled, but will be heard in their respective Senate and House Health and Welfare Committees. Both legislators have also offered constitutional amendments aimed at meeting the same goal. Should Smith’s House Bill 290 and Nevers’ Senate Bill 96 win two-thirds support from the Legislature, they would before voters later this year. These bills are not currently scheduled for hearings.
