Two men were arrested Friday for several counts of armed robbery taking place from July 3 to July 5. Twenty-year-old Lartell Doss of 3270 Garnet Drive and 20-yearold Jason Williams of 6421 Clinton Circle were allegedly involved in three armed robberies and one attempted armed robbery. Warrants were filed following the crime. A U.S. Marshals fugitive task force, in conjunction with BRPD and LSUPD, arrested Doss and Williams on Friday, according to LSUPD spokesman Sgt. Blake Tabor. The suspects allegedly robbed joggers of their cell phones around the LSU Lakes in the late evening. The men hid behind bushes as people passed by, before demanding personal belongings from victims at gunpoint, said Cpl. L’Jean McKneely, BRPD spokesman.

After a long, hot day of summer classes and work, students can unwind on the Parade Ground with a free movie night. Student Activities Board is hosting an outdoor showing of “Fast Five” tonight at 8 p.m. Popcorn and drinks will be served at 7:30 p.m. “Students and members of the LSU community can come out and watch one of the

High UV indexes increase risk of burns, sun poisoning BR facing record summer heat Kaitlin Torke
Contributing Writer
With summer temperatures reaching record heights in Baton Rouge, students are at a risk for sun-related skin injuries. Jay Grymes, WAFB meteorologist, said UV index numbers reach the top of the scale most days in Baton Rouge. The only time UV index numbers don’t peak is on overcast and rainy days. High UV indexes lead to a greater risk of harm caused by sun exposure. Sun-related injuries from UV rays can range from
premature aging of the skin to melanoma. Cataracts and tissue growth around eyes are also common with sun damage. UV rays are stronger during the summer. Combining strong rays and unprotected skin is a consequential combination. Robin Comeaux, outpatient coordinator at Baton Rouge General Burn Center, said the risk of sun burning or poisoning varies with individual situations. “It really depends on how long you are out in the sun and heat, “ Comeaux said. Some students are making efforts to reduce sun injuries. Morgan Vienne, mass communication sophomore, said she wears a combination of SPF 50 and SPF 15 sunscreens, especially when she is around water.
“I’ve never had any hospital treatment [for burns], but one summer I burned so badly that it changed the texture of my skin for three years,” Vienne said. Businesses including Baton Rouge CVS/pharmacy locations are affected by the sun’s rays and high temperatures. Chillena Simon, CVS/pharmacy supervisor, said sunblock and sunscreen sales have increased. “We normally sell many sun products especially during summer months,” Simon said. “We have over 100 products solely used for sun purposes.” Though summers are hotter, some outpatient and emergency clinics do not see many SUNBURN, see page 11

Russian river cruise boat in trouble before fatal sinking Monday
Minnesota shutdown stirs debate over who gets paid and who doesn’t
Ex-cop says he helped to cover up Danziger Bridge shootings
KAZAN, Russia (AP) — An aging cruise ship was severely overcrowded, had a malfunctioning engine and listed to one side before it sank in heavy wind and rain on a river east of Moscow, killing as many as 129 people, Russian officials said Monday. River cruise boats are highly popular among Russian vacationers, and the Bulgaria was carrying 208 people when it set off in stormy weather Sunday, officials said. It was only licensed to carry 120.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — While thousands of Minnesota employees go without paychecks because the state government is shut down, many lawmakers are still being paid. And the list of workers whose services are deemed “essential” includes the governor’s housekeeper and his personal chef. As the shutdown entered its second full week Monday, with no end in sight, politicians and public employees traded accusations over who’s getting paid, who isn’t and why.
(AP) — A former police detective testified Monday that he participated in a plot to fabricate witnesses, falsify reports and plant a gun to make it seem police were justified in shooting unarmed residents on a New Orleans bridge after Hurricane Katrina. Jeffrey Lehrmann, a government witness in the federal trial of five current or former officers, said he saw Sgt. Arthur Kaufman retrieve a gun from his home several weeks after the deadly shootings on Danziger Bridge. Kaufman later turned the gun in as evidence, claiming he found it under the bridge a day after the 2005 shootings that left two dead and four others wounded.

Russian neo-Nazis sentenced from eight years to life for 27 murders MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian court on Monday handed down sentences ranging from 10 years to life in prison to 12 members of the country’s most vicious neo-Nazi gang convicted of 27 hate killings, which included a videotaped decapitation of one of their own gang members and other crimes. The Moscow City Court sentenced five members of the group, the National Socialist Society North, to life, giving another seven members between 10 and 23 years. One was handed an eight-year suspended sentence.

Assange’s disclosures of classified U.S. documents has infuriated the Pentagon, embarrassed State Department diplomats and energized critics of American foreign policy, but allegations of sexual misconduct during a trip to Scandinavia last year have tarnished his reputation.
Oklahoma pharmacist sentenced to life in teen robber’s death OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma pharmacist convicted of murder in the shooting death of a teenager who tried to rob the south Oklahoma City pharmacy where he worked was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole Monday. Jerome Ersland, 59, showed no emotion as District Judge Ray Elliott imposed the sentence recommended by a jury that found Ersland guilty of first-degree murder in the May 19, 2009, shooting death of 16-year-old Antwun Parker during an attempted robbery.
(AP) — A New Orleans man has been accused of leaving a 7-year-old child in a hot car so he could gamble at a casino. The Jefferson Parish sheriff says 26-year-old Irone Hilton was booked with child desertion and cruelty to a juvenile and jailed in lieu of $21,000 bond.

Charity event draws 1,600 fans Steven Powell Editor-in-Chief
Nearly 1,600 fans packed Cypress Mounds Baseball Complex on Friday for the second annual Red, Rock & Blue Celebrity/Sorta Celebrity Softball Game. The game, host by WAFB sports anchor Jacques Doucet, was part of Red, Rock & Blue Weekend, a multi-event fest aimed at raising money for Support Our War Heroes and Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc. In addition to the softball game, Red, Rock & Blue offered a softball tournament, kickball tournament and concert. The schedule included a concert Saturday night at the Varsity Theatre, featuring the Atomic Punks, Motley Inc., Appetite for Destruction and David St. Romain. Doucet said this year’s event was the biggest since Red, Rock & Blue became an official charity fundraiser in 2006. Though he’s still waiting for the official count, Doucet anticipates this year’s event raised more than last year’s net total of $15,000. “The bigger you get, the more money you get, and the longer it takes to count,” he said. “Which is better than the old days when I’d know by Monday.” Celebrities at this year’s softball game included current and former professional athletes Doug Thompson, Marcus Thorton, Joseph Addai and Kevin Faulk, in addition to well-known faces, such as stars from TV show “Swamp People.” “My dad said the ‘Swamp People’ are were more popular than any of those football players, and it was the truth,” Doucet said. This year was the second to include a celebrity softball game. Past years have only included a softball tournament. Doucet said this year’s tournament included 60 teams — a tremendous increase from the original tournament’s four. Doucet attributed the success of this year’s event to the stellar schedule of celebrities. “Last year we had a good list,” he said. “This is the biggest and best event I’ve ever done.” Doucet said after last year’s event, he decided to dig in, get “smarter with money” and make this year’s event the best yet. “This year we really got motivated to hit the biggest number we could,” he said. “I really started hunkering down.” Doucet said the event started in the 90’s as a softball tournament mean to be a reunion for friends. He said he was inspired by a suggestion from a friend in the military, who felt Doucet could use his influence as a recognizable local figure to aid military families. Doucet said he decided to turn the tournament into a charity event. Though skeptical that he could successfully pull it off, Doucet said in the first year he easily surpased his goal of $10,000.

Daily Reveille develops app for Android users Steven Powell Editor-in-Chief
Only months after launching a Reveille app for the iPhone, The Daily Reveille now has an app for Android users. Reveille developer Chris Keele created and developed the app, which is still in beta form. Keele said the app mirrors the Reveille iPhone app when possible. “It’s really important to have an app for both because no one knows where the market is going to be in the future,” he said. “Users of both the Reveille iPhone and Android apps will have similar experiences.” The current app allows readers to browse, save and email the latest Reveille articles, keep up with breaking news and search archived Reveille content. Keele said the latest update, which will be available in the coming days, will allow users to share articles via any social media device linked to the phone. Future updates will allow users to check the weather and comment remotely on articles. The development process was not an easy one for Keele, who didn’t own an Android phone when he began work last fall. Keele said he tested the app using an Android emulator on his computer. “I was slow,” he said. “I had to click something and then wait around for something to happen.” Keele said the full product will be launched by the end of
the summer. The app is one of the first entirely student-designed apps within the college media sphere, sharing the title with the Reveille iPhone app built by fellow Reveille developer Logan Leger. “I pretty much use it every day,” Keele said. “I don’t get to campus every day so I miss reading the Reveille.” Leger and Keele are in the process of creating a Reveille iPad app, expected to hit the App Store in the near future. Also coming soon at The Daily Reveille is the redesign and launch of the entertainment web page, the Revelry. Readers will be able to keep up with daily events and browse stories, pictures, videos and reviews.

Recruits perform well at combine

Last year when former LSU football coach Jerry Stovall received a phone call from Joe Alleva, vice chancellor and director of athletics, he was surprised by the casual nature of the conversation. When Alleva asked Stovall how his day was going, Stovall answered, “My day’s going fine.” Alleva said he could make it better. Alleva told Stovall he had been selected to become a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. Now Stovall is preparing for the next step in his Hall of Fame membership. The Enshrinement Festival will be held this weekend in South Bend, Indiana. Stovall plans to attend with his family. STOVALL, see page 7
LSU football fans have more to look forward to than the 2011 opening game against the Oregon Ducks in Cowboys Stadium. Last weekend LSU prospect Landon Collins took home the SPARQ ratings national championship title at The Opening combine, in addition to being voted MVP. The four-star senior defensive back from Dutchtown High School hasn’t committed to a university. But according to Shea Dixon, managing editor of TigerSportsDigest.com, Collins is “LSU’s to lose.” The Opening is a national combine sponsored by Nike and used to gauge talent and athletic ability. The Opening gives high school players a chance to learn from professional players and coaches. In addition to Collins’ stellar performance, two more players from Louisiana — Lamar Louis and defensive end Torshiro Davis, both from Shreveport and both LSU commitments — had a strong showing at the invitation-only event. Dixon said the combine gave Louis a chance to showcase his talent, since he sat the season out because of suspension. Louis’ position is undecided, pending between outside linebacker and defensive end. Louisiana sent a fourth player to the combine, senior safety Cyril Noland of Ruston, but Dixon said he’s not likely to attend LSU. Athletes at The Opening worked with top players like Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, Cardinals rookie and former LSU star COMBINE, see page 7
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
LSU named a 2012 NCAA host Tournament would boost local tourism Steven Powell Editor-in-Chief
In women’s basketball coach Nikki Caldwell’s first season at LSU, she may have an opportunity coaches dream about — starting the NCAA Tournament on her home court. LSU was selected as one of 16 sites to host the first and second rounds of the tournament, a common occurrence. LSU played host
six times in the last 14 years, most recently in 2009. Miriam Segar, senior associate athletic director, said making it to the tournament would be ideal. “It’s an advantage to play at home where you’re comfortable and able to sleep in your own beds,” she said. “We have our fans behind us, and it gives us a great environment to play in.” Segar said LSU was chosen because of its basketball tradition. The school boasts a “great bid package” of high estimated ticket sales, a competitive arena and a history of successfully hosting events, she said.
Although Caldwell was out of town and could not be reached for comment by The Daily Reveille, she said in a statement that the team’s goal is to play in front of its own fans come March Madness. “That process isn’t something that happens overnight,” she said in the statement. “It starts by what we are doing now this off-season and how hard we work into the fall. The opportunity to host NCAA Tournament games in our own venue is great for our fans, the University and the city of Baton Rouge. LSU has a TOURNAMENT, see page 7

BASEBALL
Amid league lock outs, give soccer a try Nola, Hanover plan to If you ask any professional head coach, he’ll tell you there is no off-season. Between summer workouts, camps, OTAs and the trade window, the “off-season” is just as critical as the regular season. The NBA joined the lockout party July 1. As the NFL approaches its fourth month of inactivity, the already dreary summer sports schedule becomes more monotonous. T h e r e ’ s Mark Clements only so much Contributing Baseball ToWriter night a man can take. Luckily, the world’s most popular sport is still being played. The lovely, graceful, magnificent game of soccer is thriving. And soccer attracts a following. With two of the “Big Four” sports currently out of order, it’s time for soccer to wiggle its way into your heart. I became hooked on the game years ago while watching the English Premier League. The EPL hosts talented teams who display, in my opinion, the best technique in the world. I recommend watching the EPL in order to learn and love the game Unfortunately, the EPL is also in the “off-season,” during which a massive amount of annual player transfers take place. In the meantime, turn your eyes to the MLS. The skill level is lower, the big-name players are a fewer and unless you’re in the right area, the TV coverage isn’t as large. But even the lowly MLS is on the rise. Former stars like England’s David Beckham and Frenchman Thierry Henry have made the move to America. Brazilian forward Ronaldinho, hailed by many as the best player in the world, is rumored to be joining the MLS in the near future. The U.S. boasts the world’s greatest football, baseball, basketball and hockey leagues, so naturally some sports must take a back seat. In the past, one of these has been soccer. However, the future seems to tell a different tale. MLS attendance has slowly increased in recent years, and the league is poised to surpass both the NHL and NBA in the next few seasons. In 2010 the MLS drew an average attendance of 16,675 spectators per game – a three percent increase from 2009. The NHL held an average of 17,072 fans per game last season – a four percent drop from the previous year. Nine of 15 MLS teams (excluding the newly added Philadelphia Union) experienced a fan increase, while the NHL saw 20 of 30 teams post lower spectator numbers in 2010 than in 2009.

Houston posted higher average attendance than their respective NBA counterparts. In addition, average league attendance for the 65-year-old NBA was just 650 fans greater than that of the 15-year-old MLS. So with the sport steadily on the rise and only two other major professional leagues competing for attention, give the world’s favorite game a shot. I know what you’re thinking – the NFL lockout is on the verge of ending, plus college athletics can hold you over. Think again — college football ends in January, the
NFL in February and college basketball in March. Soccer is essentially on yearround. The MLS ends in late summer, while the EPL takes over the reins mid-August and runs until May. So gather your friends, grab a pint and watch a few matches. It sure as hell isn’t any slower than watching 1,458 innings of baseball per season. Contact Mark Clements at mclements@lsureveille.com
Shortstop Austin Nola will return to LSU for his senior year, according to an Athletic Department news release. Nola, a three-year starter and a 2010 second-team all-Southeastern Conference honoree, was taken in the 31st round of the Major League Baseball draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. “Coming back for my senior year is just a great opportunity that I couldn’t pass up,” Nola said Austin Nola senior shortstop in the release. “I’ve grown up following LSU and having the chance to play baseball and go to school here has been an incredible experience. You enter college with the idea that it’s a four-year commitment, and I want to earn my degree and help us get back to Omaha [for the College World Series].” Nola’s younger brother Aaron, an incoming freshman also drafted by the Blue Jays, will join the LSU baseball team as a pitcher in the fall, choosing not to sign a pro contract.
Senior third baseman Tyler Hanover announced immediately after the draft he would return to LSU for his final season. Hanover was chosen in the 40th round of the draft by the New York Mikie Mahtook Yankees. senior outfielder Fellow senior Mikie Mahtook is negotiations with the Tampa Bay Rays, the team that drafted him as the 31st pick overall. The outfielder said he is not ruling out a return to LSU, and is in no rush to make a decision either way. Mahtook led the team in hitting in 2011, batting a .383. He also led the Tigers with 61 runs scored, five triples, 14 home runs, 56 RBIs and 29 stolen bases. The senior outfielder has garnered all-SEC and All-American honors in three years as a starter with LSU. All three players played a key part in winning the 2009 College World Series.

Stovall attended the black-tie event in New York with about 1,700 others. Inductees were introduced in the presence of athletes, coaches and an array of dignitaries. Stovall said the honor is a measure of how many people have helped him along the way. “This is not an individual honor,” he said. “They give it to one person, but every person I played with my entire career helped me get there.”

It has been as much fun for me as it could possibly be.” Stovall said he is excited about the Enshrinement Festival because it may be one of the last chances he gets to travel with his whole family. “The two most meaningful things to me are my faith and my family,” he said. “I hope my family understands how much the award means to me because they can share in it. So much of the honor would go away without them there to share.” Stovall said being inducted to the Hall of Fame has been a humbling experience, and it has allowed him to fondly recall his past. “You hear coaches say all your life there is no I in team,” he said. “Well, it is absolutely true.” Contact Morgan Searles at msearles@lsureveille.com
storied NCAA postseason tradition, and we want the entire community to come out and support women’s basketball.” Fans and Athletic Department officials aren’t the only ones watching this tournament unfold. Paul Arrigo, president and CEO of the Baton Rouge Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the BRACVB sees such events as branding and economic opportunities. Arrigo said he wants to include Baton Rouge in news and TV coverage of the tournament. BRACVB will also encourage incoming basketball fans to take advantage of the city’s tourism industry. He said since the tournament is a regional event, teams selected to attend will mostly likely come from schools within driving distance of Baton Rouge — meaning more fans will make the trip. “We look at events like this beyond the number of teams,” he said. “There are a certain number of fans that will follow a sport.” Once competing teams are selected, BRACVB will promote the
city of Baton Rouge to residents of opposing teams’ cities, Arrigo said. Arrigo said he is also planning for team elimination, hoping to entice fans of eliminated teams to extend their stay and tour the city. “We’re just excited to have the partnership we have with LSU,” he said. “We recognize the economic impact an event like this will have on the community.” Segar said hosting the event also positively impacts the University. “From a national standpoint, it’s great,” she said. “Any time you have your university and arena featured it’s obviously great for the university as a whole.” If LSU makes it to the March tournament, they’ll have history on their side. The Lady Tigers boast a 13-2 all-time record in NCAA Tournament games played in Baton Rouge. The Lady Tigers are 6-0 in first round games played in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

required after discharge, even if it’s 40 or 50 visits, is also done gratis. I read a while back that the JAMA and the NEJM have said that as much as 40% of their subscribers are going to pull down their shingles come 1 Jan 13 if this abomination isn’t repealed or overturned. I don’t know if I can believe 40%, but if even 5% or 10% of practicing physicians just walk away, it will be a disaster.” -MBB Regarding Laura Furr’s article, “LSU attempts to attract international students,” a reader had this to say: “When I was an undergrad in the mid-seventies, there were several thousand foreign students, particularly Persians from Iran. They spent alot of time protesting atrocities committed by the Shah of Iran and his secret police SAVAT. We thought they were nuts. Turns out, they were
right.” -Anonymous
Regarding Adam Arinder’s column, “Tigermail changes could be inconvenient to some students,” readers had this to say: “We very much appreciate the passion and enthusiasm that this issue has drawn. When authoring the GROK article on Gmails multiple login issue, we judged that putting the simplest solution available was the correct path. It is obvious now that we were mistaken and this has led to frustration for Adam Arinder and many other TigerMail users. The GROK article (15592) has been updated to cover or link to the different methods recommended by Google to accomplish this including the option that Jace Linson did an excellent job describing in his letter to the editor on June 30. As a reminder, every GROK
article includes a feedback section at the bottom. Were always eager to hear about omissions or other problems with articles. This feedback is constantly evaluated and used to fine tune the documentation available on GROK. Best regards, GROK” -Mike Smith, ITS “First, how is this GROK/ LSU/ITS’s fault? Maybe you should write Sergey Brin, Larry Page, or Vint Serf at Google and take this up with them? Secondly, maybe it’s better for LSU students to learn that their convenience is not the primary concern of the world. Third -- how much are you paying for the Tigermail (hint: it’s free). Fourth -- Internet Explorer is a real browser whether you like it or not.” -Anonymous Regarding Austin Casey’s column, “NLRB exceeds authority

SCUM OF THE GIRTH

Stephen Colbert’s Super PAC no longer a laughing matter Stephen Colbert has made headlines in recent weeks for his creation of the Colbert Super Political Action Committee, or the Colbert Super PAC for short. For those of you who don’t know, a political action committee is a group that tries to influence political decisions based on their specific ideologies or goals. For example, an individual could start a PAC based on their belief in the pro-life movement and call it “Fetus Fighters.” They could raise money and donate to politicians whose ideologies reflect their own. They could also buy billboard and television ads or attempt to bomb a Planned Parenthood building. The possibilities are endless. While PACs are influential, they are limited in the amount they can donate to a specific candidate. This limitation led to the creation of what is called a super PAC, which is ex-
actly like it sounds. A super PAC, in short, is a PAC which can collect and spend virtually unlimited amounts of money without having to report who gave it to them. However, they cannot align themselves with a specific candidate or committee. So to sum it up, Donald Trump could start a right wing super PAC and be the sole benefactor, then use that money to attempt to influence election outcomes all over the country by funding a trash talking campaign on Democratic candidates. This would be an example of a super PAC. Well ladies and gentlemen, our beloved Stephen Colbert, the host of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, has started his own super PAC. What started out as a joke has been approved by the Federal Elections Commission, and Colbert can now collect and spend virtually unlimited amounts of money on pretty
much whatever he believes could influence a political election to his liking. But why is he doing this? He’s a comedian, a pseudo conservative talk show host with a satirical news show on Comedy Central. Does he really have a political agenda? Parker Cramer Colbert Columnist is a wild card: there’s no telling where or how he is going to spend this money. However, he will undoubtedly rake in millions from his die hard fans, the Colbert Nation. To be honest, there’s really no telling why he’s fought through all the red tape to gain super PAC approval, but that won’t stop me from speculating.
I believe he is doing this for three reasons; the first being to point out wrongful political spending. Upon leaving the FEC hearing where he gained approval, Colbert began taking wadded up cash from supporters and swiping credit cards on his iPad. He also tweeted that PAC stands for “Plastic And/Or Cash”. He’s trying to show that PAC’s are a joke and that these guys will take money from anyone, buy a case of Grey Goose for everybody at the club and call it a campaign expenditure. The second reason is to show that money, not politics, wins elections. The majority of eligible voters aren’t too bright, so if they see an ad campaign that says Barack Obama isn’t an American, they’ll probably believe it. More money equals more votes. Lastly, Colbert may have a political agenda of his own. Who knows, he may end up endorsing
candidates. But I feel he is much more likely to endorse a cause or put on a big rally. Colbert has already appeared on the Capitol as an advocate for migrant farm workers, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did it again. Perhaps he’ll invest millions teaching Anthony Weiner how to properly tweet or introducing Ke$ha to Crest. Only time will tell what the true intentions of the Colbert Super PAC are, but Colbert proves once again that comedians are often the most politically influential members of society.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Spanish and Italian debt woes could be trouble for US
Like a stack of debt-laden dominoes in a Rube Goldberg machine, European countries have been failing in the wake of the late 2000s economic recession. Recently, Italy and Spain announced their dirty debt woes to the global economy, and it could affect the U.S. markets. At the end of the last decade, the global economy saw a massive hit to output — a recession for which we were largely unprepared. Europe in particular saw a nasty sovereign debt crisis that, for many countries like Ireland and Portugal, crescendoed in intensity until early 2010. Spain, Portugal and Greece saw their debt downgraded, Italy came dangerously close to a failed debt auction, European stock markets sank and the Euro tumbled against the U.S. dollar. In other words, Europe has seen better days. More recently, Greece has found itself drowning in debt. After arduous negotiations, it now looks like the best decision for Greece is to default on some of its debt in order to rein in the debt level for an already exhausted Greek economy. As unfortunate as the Greek situation may be — and it is concerning for Europe — Italian debt trouble represents an entirely new level of danger for the global economy altogether. According to the World Bank, Greece produced a $329 billion GDP in 2009, while Italy’s GDP was $2.11 trillion — over six and a half times higher. So, when a country that size expresses concerns or has trepidation over its ability to pay back debt, the markets listen. And oh, have they listened. In general, the markets don’t like
surprises. If you want a nasty economic downturn, just wait until the last minute to let global investors know about some bad news. So it was almost as unsurprising as it was depressing yesterday when, upon more talks about Eurozone trouble, the DOW, NASDAQ and S&P 500 all slumped between one and two percent, in the worst single-day decline in more than a month. Like a nasty cold in a day care center, the European flu infects its neighbors, includingU.S. markets. So shocks in the European system, even just concerns about financial trouDevin Graham ble, can affect Columnist the U.S. in a strong way. The concern in general is not that a Greek or Italian collapse will destroy the U.S. — far from it. But if Greece defaults on its debt, this will put further pressure on Italy, Spain, Portugal and other already-struggling European economies, possibly pushing them over the edge into pecuniary failure, leading to further crisis. But, other than deficit issues and a stubbornly-high unemployment rate, the U.S. has largely been sheltered from the pre-2008 bubble. Paul Krugman, columnist for the New York Times, explains in a March 2011 blog post: “To regain competitiveness, [European countries] need massive deflation; but that deflation, in addition to involving an extended period of very high unemployment, worsens the real burden of their
outstanding debt. Countries that still have their own currencies don’t face the same problems.” That is to say, the U.S. can shelter itself against changes in the markets and debt by shifting the money supply. Countries in Europe, because they share a currency and are run by an independent bank, cannot print money — sometimes haphazardly — like the U.S. The trade-off has some amazing benefits for European countries but turns out to be lousy
when faced with a situation like we see now. If you’re interested, take a look at the web of debt holdings globally and you’ll begin to see better how defaults push the global economy toward more defaults. Because we have control of our currency — which holds a privileged position in the global markets — we are largely sheltered from many of the problems facing Europe, but as our slumped economy and unemployment rate
show, we are clearly not immune. All Americans could potentially be affected by debt problems in Europe, not just investors. Devin Graham is a 22-year-old economics senior from Prairieville. Follow him on Twitter @TDR_Dgraham.

summer,” he said. “We want students to understand that our programs are for them. They are free, and we want to know what programs they’d like to see on campus.” In the past, SAB has hosted two outdoor films that occurred in the first week of August. Both events attracted more than 600 attendees. This fall, SAB will host another summer blockbuster film Tuesday, Aug. 23 on the Parade Ground. SAB is an organization run by students for students. It is the third largest on-campus student organization and is comprised of three committees — Pop Fusion, Music and Trending Topics — that host activities. SAB’s mission, as outlined in its constitution, is to cultivate leadership skills in its members and create lasting memories through educational and entertaining programs that appeal to diverse audiences. The movie night is free and open to the general public. Students should not hesitate to bring blankets and invite family and friends. In the event of rain the movie will be screened in the LSU Cotillion Ballroom in the Student Union.

ROBBERY, from page 1
“The U.S. Marshals assisted us in apprehending the suspects,” McKneely said. “We drew up a warrant, and they used their resources to locate [the suspects], apprehend them, [bring] them back and put them into jail.” Doss and Williams are also suspected of committing an armed robbery July 5 near Chapel of the Cross Lutheran Church on Dalrymple Drive. Jason Bettencourtt, LSUPD spokesman, told The Daily Reveille on July 5 that the robbery occurred at about 9:10 p.m. Tuesday. The suspect used a silver handgun and took personal items from a victim. A black male wearing a black T-shirt was then seen entering a white sport utility vehicle and fleeing campus, Bettencourtt said. The SUV was headed toward Highland Road on Dalrymple Drive when witnesses lost sight of the car around University Laboratory School, Bettencourtt said. After the incident, LSUPD received a description of the suspect’s vehicle, which helped locate Doss and Williams, according to a news release. The two men confessed to involvement in many recent robberies around campus involving personal property, according to the release.
