LSU Dairy Store plans repairs, Kaitlin Torke

The Dairy Store, a popular on-campus destination with varied, high-quality products, will soon undergo renovation. Dr. Gary Hay, interim director of the School of Animal Science, said administrators will remodel and expand the store. “We’re in the really early stages of planning,” he said. “About a month ago, we asked Facility Services to give us a work estimate for

on-campus, student-based production of high quality food items. Hay said the main labor force is students. Students control all facets of the process, including feeding livestock, processing animals and cashiering. “Our main goal is to educate our students and the Dairy Store is a great teaching tool,” he said. “Animals raised on our farms are not used for selling purposes; they are used for research and

LSU Police Department ofﬁcers made an arrest Monday morning in the 2007 double homicide at Edward Gay Apartments, according to an LSUPD news release. Casey Jermaine Gathers, 23, of 6420 Buckeye Drive, was charged with two counts of second-degree murder. The release said a grand jury indicted Gathers on July 21, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Gathers turned himself in without incident, according to the release. Gathers was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish jail at 9 a.m., according to Capt. Cory Lalonde, LSUPD spokesman. Gathers is one of three suspects to be charged in the killing of two University graduate students, Chandrasekhar Reddy Komma, 31, and Kiran Kumar Allam, 33. A Nextel cell phone and $120 were taken from the two graduate students. Komma and Allam were found

Media Days talks surround struggling quarterback play Jefferson ready to lead Tiger squad Mark Clements

Contributing Writer

HOOVER, Ala. – Few would consider LSU’s 2010 campaign an unsuccessful one. An 11-win season capped off with a 41-24 stomping of Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl and a top10 ﬁnish is a feat some schools can only imagine. But with preseason polls and All-Southeastern Conference squads touting the Tigers as national contenders, the team is setting high expectations for itself this season. “Last year we really felt like we

had a down year,” said senior linebacker Ryan Baker. “We were 11-2, but it really didn’t feel like we were 11-2. We know we have expectations now. We want a national championship year.” Baker, who earned second-team All-SEC honors in this year’s Media Days poll, takes the defensive reins as the Tigers say goodbye to three ﬁrst-team All-SEC players: defensive tackle Drake Nevis, linebacker Kelvin Sheppard and cornerback Patrick Peterson. Defensive coordinator John Chavis enters his third year with the Tigers, returning with seven starters from last season’s stout squad. “John Chavis again gives us great leadership,” said head coach Les Miles. “We’ll expect that [the] defense will continue to have

great production.” Chavis’ defenses finished last season ranked No. 12 in total defense and No. 11 in scoring defense. With the defense and special teams proving bright spots for the Tigers last season, blame for midseason struggles fell on senior quarterback Jordan Jefferson and the offense, which finished 86th in total offense and 107th in pass offense. “There has been a lot of negative press and a lot of criticism thrown Jordan’s way,” said senior center T-Bob Hebert. “Jordan has just kind of taken it in and risen to a whole other level. He’s gotten better, he continues to improve and he’s flourishing, not only as a player but as a leader. He is the definite leader JEFFERSON, see page 11

OSLO, Norway (AP) — The selfdescribed perpetrator of the mass killings in Norway told authorities he expects to spend the rest of his life in prison, but two other cells in his terror network could still launch attacks, ofﬁcials said Monday. Anders Behring Breivik has admitted bombing Norway’s capital and opening ﬁre on a political youth group retreat, but he entered a plea of not guilty, saying he acted to save Europe from Muslim immigration.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hundreds of gay couples dressed in formal suits and striped trousers, gowns and T-shirts recited vows in emotionchoked voices and triumphantly hoisted their long-awaited marriage certiﬁcates on Sunday as New York became the sixth and largest state to recognize same-sex weddings. Couples began saying “I do” at midnight from Niagara Falls to Long Island, though New York City became the sometimes raucous center of action.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A police officer heard on a conversation recorded by the FBI insisted repeatedly that he saw a civilian with a gun on the New Orleans bridge where police allegedly shot and killed two unarmed people and wounded four others after Hurricane Katrina. A tape of that conversation between Officer Anthony Villavaso and a former officer, Robert Barrios, was played Monday for jurors in the federal trial of five current or former officers charged in the shootings on the Danziger Bridge less than a week after the 2005 storm.

Health department spokesman Sizwe Kupelo said the man awoke Sunday, 21 hours after his family called in an undertaker who sent him to the morgue after an asthma attack. The morgue owner said he sent his driver to collect the body shortly after the family reported the death. The owner said he thought the man was around 80 years old.

LSU to reduce its licensing and distribution outlets Laura Furr Staff Writer

The University has implemented a new program to license and distribute LSU merchandise. The University has now partnered with VF Imagewear, Inc., which is affiliated with The North Face, Timberland, JanSport and Wrangler. The program, made official July 1, will reduce the number of licensees and distribution channels, putting restrictions on department stores and sporting goods stores. Brian Hommel, director of trademark licensing at LSU, said the University believes it has been overlicensing its products, which has caused brand dilution and erosion of marketplace prices. “If you walk into [Academy Sports & Outdoors] and look at the lowest priced T-shirt and you walk into Walmart and look at the lowest priced T-shirt, they are about the same,” Hommel said. “People view Academy as a higher class tier. Walmart is considered in the mass market tier. You would expect that if you bought a T-shirt at Academy the quality would be higher. But as we have seen over the years the prices have been the same.” University T-shirts will now be made by Majestic, the same label Major League Baseball uses. With one partner, Hommel said, the University will be able to increase product quality. “We know our brand will be represented consistently and pricing is likely to increase,” Hommel said. “In this agreement, VF also offered us a higher royalty rate. It makes business sense for LSU.” LSU will also retain its partnership with Nike. National chains will have to work only with VF or Nike to sell LSU T-shirts. Hommel said the Union Bookstore and the LSU SportShop will not be affected by the new deal. “With this agreement we made strides and made every effort, and successfully so, to maintain the local market,” Hommel said. “At the end of the day, when they are successful and selling LSU products, we are successful.” Currently 730 companies are approved by the University to produce LSU trademark products. As reported by The Daily Reveille on July 19, a cease and desist letter was sent to LSU’s trademark and licensing agency The Collegiate Licensing Company on June 9 and forwarded to 27 Football Bowl Subdivision schools that the company represents. The letter was sent by an unnamed organization calling itself Collegiate Stakeholders Against Consolidation. According to Hommel, the letter alleges that the CLC has violated anti-trust laws by encouraging universities to make partnerships, much like LSU recently has with VF. “They are alleging that the CLC essentially is conspiring or forcing schools to work together and make decisions,” Hommel said. “This couldn’t be further from the truth.” The letter does not bring the

CLC or any universities to court yet. The CSAC is simply calling for the CLC to stop alleged “concerted efforts” to limit trade. Hommel said the decision was made independent from the CLC and was in the best interest of the University and its products. “We made the decision by ourselves. VF approached us, and we evaluated it,” Hommel said. “They came up with a model that was different from the norm, and we adapted it to what we felt was right for LSU.” A statement from the CLC supports the University. “Schools have every right to choose best-in-class licensees, and to take into account expert recommendations,” the statement said. “When schools partner with the best licensees, everyone wins, including consumers, who get access to a broad array of better products. We are confident each school can and should continue to make its own decision for implementing licensing programs and managing its brands.” The CLC claims that the allegations of violation of anti-trust laws are not true.

“We believe these reckless allegations to be outrageous and unfounded. A best-in-class approach actually expands the product offering for consumers — allowing for greater retail penetration and the opportunity for schools to generate more licensing revenue,” the CLC said in the release.

LSU College of Engineering researches driving safety Laura Furr Staff Writer

The LSU College of Engineering recently acquired a simulator, produced by Realtime Technologies, Inc., to help undergraduate and graduate students study one of the most expensive and life threatening fields in America — driving. Automobile accidents are the leading cause of death of children, teens and young adults ages 15-34, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 30,000 Americans died in automobile accidents last year. It costs Louisiana $969 million on average in crash-related

death costs per year. This number includes $8 million in medical costs and $961 million in work loss costs. Acccording to the College of Engineering’s website, researchers plan to use the simulator to help increase driver safety. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development and the Louisiana Board of Regents helped fund the project. The simulator consists of a fullbody Ford Focus without wheels, featuring a computer program that, with the help of cameras and projectors, depicts a realistic driving experience. Users can put the car in gear, use the brakes and gas pedals and check the mirrors. The simulator can project almost any obstacle, including unsafe

weather conditions, road surfaces, traffic or environment. Researchers can use the simulator to study human error, driving performances for different groups under varying environmental conditions, the impact of drugs on drivers, highway designs and the risks of text messaging and in-vehicle technologies. College of Engineering officials said they hope the research tool will attract federal grants and encourage other universities to consider driving research a priority.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Special session cancelled due to lack of senator attendance Rachel Wilson Contributing Writer

The special session of Student Government called for Thursday of last week was cancelled due to the inability to meet quorum. To reach quorum and vote on bills, more than 50 percent of the Senate must be present. Last week’s special session was called in order to vote on three separate bills.

One bill would allow for amendments to the Student Government election codes, while another would amend the Senate rules of order. Amendments to the election codes would determine election periods by academic weeks rather than a set date and institute a prequalifying period for potential candidates. The amendments would also define a two week period of passive campaigning and a one week period

of active campaigning. The new code would outline accepted use of social media during campaigning. The bill to amend the rules of order would allow for electronic voting. A third bill, submitted by Senate Speaker Aaron Caffarel, would allocate $2,278.45 in funds from the SG surplus account to purchase clickers for the Senate. Caffarel told The Daily Reveille at a June Summer Planning

Committee meeting he was hesitant to use student fees to purchase clickers. Caffarel said last week the surplus dollars come from SG accounts of previous administrations that didn’t utilize funds. Caffarel said he approached the Union for clicker funding, but officials denied his request. Having clickers purchased by SG surplus funds won’t affect current student fees.

Caffarel said clickers would be a long-term expenditure that will prove beneficial for the Senate. According to Caffarel, there are no plans to reschedule the special session before the start of the fall semester.

Auburn defensive tackle Nosa Equae speaks with reporters Friday during Southeastern Conference Football Media Days on Thursday in Hoover, Ala. Auburn and Alabama are both gunning for the 2012 SEC West title.

Mark Clements Sports Contributor

Last season’s final rankings revealed the strength of the Southeastern Conference Western Division. Five of six teams from the division finished ranked No. 15 or better, with Auburn sitting on top at the 14-0 mark. The SEC West also boasts three of the last four national title winners, the other being Florida from the SEC East.

So it’s no doubt that all eyes turned to the podium when last year’s Coach of the Year Award-winner took the stand to address his 2011 squad. “It’s been an incredible journey for myself, our assistant coaches at Auburn, our players, our fans [and] our Auburn family,” Auburn coach Gene Chizik said. “There’s been a lot of great things that have been happening at Auburn, but I know we’ve all moved on.” Next season’s journey may be rockier than the 2010 campaign.

Auburn won’t just be young — they will be statistically the youngest team in college football, graduating 20 seniors and returning only seven starters from last year’s championship team. “There’s going to be a lot of new names and a lot of new faces you’re going to have to get used to this year,” Chizik said. “We have a very young team. We are a little bit light on experience.” The two most glaring holes come with the losses of first-round draft selections – Heisman

Trophy winner Cam Newton and Rotary Lombardi Award winner Nick Fairley. “I don’t know that you can replace a Cam Newton or Nick Fairley in terms of production right away,” Chizik said. “They’re hard to replace. We all know that. We got some great young players, and hopefully we’ll get some guys that are productive.” But while one Alabama team’s outlook seems bleak, an in-state rival’s seems brighter.

Players adjust to life after LSU Competitive sports mindset an asset Kaci Yoder Contributing Writer

LSU football is a way of life for everyone in Louisiana. But for players, football season extends far beyond tailgate parties and four quarters. Members of the 2007 BCS National Championship winning team had to move on after graduation. The Tigers beat Ohio State 34-28 to take the national title in January 2008. Quarterbacks JaMarcus Russell and

Matt Flynn went on to the pros. But for the rest of the team it was a lifechanging time. “It was hard to see the big picture and why things play out the way they do,” 2006-2009 linebacker Ace Foyil said of the months after he stepped off the field and into the next chapter of his life. Though their time in Tiger Stadium has ended, alumni find skills gained on the turf helped them find direction. Foyil struggled at first. “I wasn’t scared or intimidated to join the workforce,” he said. “Reality hit me pretty hard.” He said his training in strength and perseverance kept him on his

feet as he learned the hard way that dream jobs don’t come easily. “You appreciate what you’ve gone through and where you’ve ended up,” Foyil said of his journey from LSU to his current job as a sales representative for local Glazers Wholesale Liquor. “Those things end up making you who you are.” For other players, like offensive lineman Max Holmes, life after LSU meant finding a new identity. Holmes’ gridiron days weren’t over when he left LSU in 2008. He went on to play at Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas, eager to live up to his Tiger reputation. PLAYERS, see page 7

ON THE MARK

NFL players, owners end lockout — now transfer, cut debate begins It’s like Christmas in July. NFL owners and players came to an agreement Monday, ending the lockout just 45 days before the Saints and the Packers kick off the start of the 2011 season. Within days of the deal being signed, the entire league will reopen. Trade, resignation and free agency activity can commence. As a giddy fan, my fantasy football league was created within minutes. Critics instantly began debating cuts and transfers — no doubt the best part of the NFL off-season. So I, along with every other member of the Who Dat Nation, assumed the role of Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis and began weighing the options. Who stays, and who goes? Let me start by saying the Saints are a lucky team. For starters, they have Drew Brees. Not only is Brees one of the top quarterbacks in the league, he’s arguably the best leader in the NFL. In the dead of summer, when most were sitting on the couch soaking in free time awarded by the lockout, Brees was calling his teammates and organizing his own “mini-camp” to train rookies and keep veterans sharp. And just to add to his “Breesus” persona, the 10-year veteran helped foot the bill for any player who couldn’t afford to live in New

All-SEC squads:

The 2011 Media Days pre-season All-SEC squad was announced Friday morning, with 167 media members voting. • Offense • First-Team Offense QB – Aaron Murray, Georgia RB – Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina RB – Trent Richardson, Alabama WR – Alshon Jeffery, South Carolina WR – Greg Childs, Arkansas TE – Orson Charles, Georgia OL – Barrett Jones, Alabama OL – Bradley Sowell, Ole Miss C – William Vlachos, Alabama OL – Cordy Glenn, Georgia OL* – Larry Warford, Kentucky OL* – Brandon Mosley, Auburn • Second-Team Offense QB – Stephen Garcia, South Carolina RB – Knile Davis, Arkansas RB – Mike Dyer, Auburn WR – Marquis Maze, Alabama WR – Joe Adams, Arkansas TE – Philip Lutzenkirchen, Auburn OL – D.J.

Orleans for the summer. Even without coaches present, Brees and linebacker Jonathan Vilma put leader caps on and led summer workouts, similar to what they do on the field every Sunday. But there are still lots of questions to be answered. The biggest issue lies Mark Clements with the runContributing ning backs. We all saw how imWriter portant a good running game is last season, after an array of injuries left the Saints digging for Julius Jones, who could only scrounge up 59 yards in the first round loss at the hands of the Seahawks. Reggie Bush has been the center of trade talks after his five-year career hasn’t lived up to the No. 2 overall pick hype. But Reggie has been unjustly scrutinized — he was given the lead role for a short period last season, forced to play out of his element and pound the ball up the middle, where he (naturally) failed. While message boards and chat rooms have been calling for a transfer, I say the league’s best distraction and game-changing punt returner is worthy of a spot ... for the right price, of course. The rest of the Saints’ headlines fall below the Bush debacle.

Continuing on offense, one of the biggest priorities has to be wide receiver Lance Moore. As much as I don’t want to say it, it’s time to lose wide receiver Devery Henderson. With the strength of Robert Meachem, the size and strength of Marques Colston and the consistency of Moore, it’s tough to find out where Henderson fits. Defensively, the Saints have some patching up to do. The addition of Alex Brown at defensive end should couple well with Will Smith on the opposite side. But a run stopper is needed to clog the middle with defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis. That void, along with the hole that will open at linebacker when Scott Shanle is released, could be filled through free agency. Redskins linebacker Rocky McIntosh is one name to look out for at linebacker. And of course, rookie signing will need to be a speedy process. Say hello to defensive end Cameron Jordan and running back Mark Ingram (oh how quickly we forgive and forget), who could become starters by season’s end. So in your best Hank Williams Jr. impersonation, say with me, “Are you ready for some football?”

Holmes soon found his place at SFA with success both on the field and in the classroom. He now works at the university as an admissions counselor and recruiter. “I needed to find a new identity outside of football. ... You spend so much time on the field and in meetings, it’s hard to see past the next day,” Holmes said. “Everything fell into place. I would not change a thing.” Lyle Hitt may have stirred up talk of a future in professional football during his time as an offensive guard at LSU, but the big leagues were never part of his plan. “I was really worn out by football,” Hitt said. “I was content to

move on. I have no regrets.” Hitt got married and found a job less than a month after graduation. He is now pursuing his long-term dream — a medical career. Unlike Holmes and Hitt, fullback Joey Stutson never set foot in a game. Stutson sees this seeming failure as an eventual victory. “I was chasing significance. It wasn’t what I was called to do,” Stutson said. “I’m so thankful that Coach Miles was a man of character, because there were reasons he didn’t let me play. I needed it.” Stutson, a military man with a wife and three children, followed his heart to seminary instead. “It was a humbling experience,” Stutson said. “I tried to do everything, but I learned that none of it was going to make me happy.” These championship team members shared the same training, ingrained in them as second nature.

Life is a beautiful gift, don’t waste it by blowing yourself up

In my relatively short lifetime, lots of things have been blown up. From suicide bombers to car bombs to airplanes, terrorism has become the norm. The recent events in Norway are evidence of that. Months ago in Moscow, a Chechen suicide bomber strolled into the international arrivals terminal in Domodedovo Airport, the largest airport in the area. The attack killed 35 people, according to Reuters, and wounded many more. Chechnya is a region of Russia that is predominately Islamic, and its history of strife with the Russians goes back a long way. In short, Chechnya has been bullied by the Soviets and the Russians for a very long time. Naturally, they’re pissed off. Recently in Pakistan, a teenage boy dressed in a school uniform walked into a military district and blew himself up, killing at least 31 people according to the BBC.

The World Trade Center requires no explanation. We all remember exactly where we were and what we were doing on that infamous day. During the 7/7 bomb- Paker Cramer Columnist ings in London, which occurred on July 7, 2005, four suicide bombers attacked the mass transportation system. Three underground trains were blown up as well as a double-decker bus. The bombers were affiliated with al-Qaida. My question is why? What motivates a person or group of people to kill themselves and countless innocent civilians for a cause? To answer this question, I had to quiz myself. What would motivate me to blow myself up for a cause? To

be honest, not much. If someone or some group came into my home, killed my whole family, blew up my house, used my dog as target practice and then stole my favorite shirt, I would obviously seek some sort of revenge. I highly doubt I would ever strap myself with marbles and C-4 and walk into a public place — that’s just not my style. Obviously, the people committing these atrocities have had wrong done to them, in some cases by the United States. The most significant event that stands out in my mind was the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. I remember watching Fox News, ironically, and seeing a night vision live shot of American missiles hitting Baghdad. We obliterated that city, absolutely demolished it with American firepower. There is no way in hell we were positive that no innocent Iraqi man,

woman or child wasn’t caught in our crosshairs. I understand that these suicide bombers and extremists don’t like America and the Western world. I understand why the Chechens don’t like the Russians. What I don’t understand is why you want to come to America, London, Moscow or Spain and kill innocent civilians who had nothing to do with the atrocities that may or may not have been done to you. What did I ever do to you? What did my friends in London or my family in California do to deserve death? But the simple fact is we as westerners are targeted. Many suicide bombers believe they are martyrs. They believe they’ll be awarded in the afterlife for sacrificing themselves in this one. People always say something about being awarded 72 virgins in reference to Islamic suicide bombers. I don’t understand why this is

such a motivator to blow yourself up. Attention suicide bombers, virgins have no idea what they’re doing in the bedroom. You will be doomed to an eternity of teaching them what feels good and explaining that what they’ve seen in porn is unrealistic. Personally, I’d much prefer 72 prostitutes and an infinite supply of Trojans. Bottom line, don’t blow yourself up and don’t kill other people. We’ve all been given this beautiful gift of life — don’t piss it away. Parker Cramer is a 20-yearold animal sciences major from Houston. Follow him on Twitter @TDR_pcramer.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Opinion

page 9

Internet hacking serious threat to companies, global security First, man fought with spears. Now, he fights with Internet. More than ever, companies are facing pressure to increase their Internet security. In recent headlines, we’ve seen companies like Sony hacked. They were attacked multiple times across the globe and had their PlayStation Network temporarily shut down. Additionally, Sony Online Entertainment, another branch of the company, was breached, taking 24.6 million users’ information. Eidos Interactive, maker of games like “Deus Ex” and “Tomb Raider,” was hacked shortly afterward. Epic Games, maker of the well-known “Gears of War” franchise, reported its site had also been hacked. Other developers soon followed. Is it an elaborate attempt to strategically attack one game developer after another? Maybe, but its unlikely. That’s because game developers aren’t nearly the only ones suffering from attacks. Cyber-security company Black

and Berg Cybersecurity Consulting, LLC posted an online contest that openly challenged anyone to hack the page — offering a job and $10,000 for the trouble. It wasn’t long before the page was hacked by the notorious group LulzSec, short for LOLs and Devin Graham security. A phoColumnist tograph was changed, and the text “Done. That was easy. Keep your money we do it for the lulz,” was added to the page. Joseph K. Black, founder, responded cleverly on Twitter: “Black & Berg Cybersecurity Consulting appreciate all the hard work that you’re putting in. Your Hacking = Clients for us. Thx ~Joe.” While it’s witty banter, the fact their own hack-proof site was attacked successfully, and so quickly, leads me to think they won’t be getting many clients from the

contest. These are small on the scale of cyber attacks, however. Many, like the Wall Street Journal, don’t consider LulzSec real cyber terrorists because of the nature of their attacks. Some people have even designated their attacks “Grey Hat,” a play off the online convention where malicious attacks are “Black hat” and benevolent hacking “White hat.” But as sophisticated communications systems link nearly everything across the globe, the dangers of the Internet are becoming more and more apparent. Last June, a virus called Stuxnet was found in factories, control centers and power plants around the world. At least twenty times more complex than any previous virus found, according to an online video by “Hungry Beast,” the virus had capabilities including turning up the pressure in nuclear reactors and shutting off oil pipelines — all while telling controllers everything was alright. And the virus didn’t just

shut down facilities aimlessly. The target? The centrifuges in Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. By the way, Iran’s facilities were shut down for some time without explanation. It seems the attack was successful. It was a weapon made entirely of code, and it surely will not be the last. In fact, Stuxnet, or a version of its code, is available readily online for anyone to download. Obviously, industrial systems around the world have upped their security systems to prevent damage from the Stuxnet virus, so the danger seems to be mitigated. A little closer to home, founder of Netscape and author of, “The Cyber Commander’s eHandbook,” Kevin G. Coleman reveals that similar botnets and worms, two kinds of viruses, could be used to do everything from shutting off intravenous drips in a hospital room to cutting the brakes out on a car — all while operators get an A-okay signal at the controls. Researchers at Rutgers University were able to hack into

a car moving 60 mph last year, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. The way in? The wireless systems monitoring air pressure in the tires. Once you’re in, you can control nearly everything — engine, brakes, transmission, etc. With such a terrifying and awesome danger on the horizon, companies and countries are scrambling to tighten their lacking Internet security. The U.S. National Security Agency Director, General Keith Alexander, put it well in his interview with Charlie Rose for Bloomberg Businessweek, “We’re the nation that created the Internet. We ought to be the first ones to secure it.” Devin Graham is a 22-year-old economics senior from Prairieville. Follow him on Twitter @TDR_dgraham.

TO THE POINT

Michele Bachmann’s migraines shouldn’t disqualify her It’s funny how liberals claim they’re feminists, yet when a powerful, conservative female comes along they jump at the opportunity to smear her as incompetent. The most recent attack is on Michele Bachmann, whom liberals have declared a sickly woman incapable of being president Austin Casey because she Columnist gets migraines. Several news outlets questioned her ability to be president because of the headaches, like the Los Angeles Times column titled “Bachmann’s migraines matter.” Similarly, The New York Times ran a column last week warning us to pay attention to the way Bachmann deals with her migraines, because it would “speak volumes about who she is as a person and how she might deal with the stresses of the presidency.” First, no one really knows why people get migraines. To say Bachmann’s headaches come from stress is just a cheap crack at her credibility. Liberals have no problem demanding we legalize hallucinogens like marijuana for medicinal and recreational purposes. But when Bachmann takes safe drugs prescribed by a doctor, it’s “heavy pill use,” as if she were Amy Winehouse. Most of us wouldn’t take a second look at Bachmann’s headaches because they don’t make a difference at all. But the left has

badgered her so much that she was forced to respond, stating, “My ability to function effectively has never been impeded by migraines and will not affect my ability to serve as Commander in Chief.” Why is it that when a conservative female comes along, she is immediately declared dumb and inept by the left? Take Sarah Palin for instance. The media’s depiction of her as a bimbo has been well documented. And yet she’s still here and more powerful than ever. The reason the mainstream media doesn’t like Palin is because she went to a community college. They detest the idea that someone, especially a female, made such a name for herself without going to an Ivy League school. Similarly, the media see Bachmann as a threat. In reality, Bachmann and Palin don’t have much in common other than their beliefs. But the media, jealous that they don’t have any hot female politicians, have gone to great lengths to equate the two because they truly believe they were successful in bringing down Palin. The media failed to destroy Palin, as shown by a Washington Post poll this month that put Palin in second place among Republican presidential candidates with 18 percent of the vote and 16 percent among registered voters — and she isn’t even running. According to the same poll, Bachmann is in third place with 12 percent of the general vote and 13 percent among registered voters. Some Republicans believe the left has been successful at

convincing Americans that conservative females are unqualified for public office. Gov. Tim Pawlenty has attacked Bachmann saying, “These are really serious times, and there hasn’t been somebody who went from the U.S. House of Representatives, I think, in over a hundred years, and there’s a reason for that.” James A. Garfield was the only person elected as president while serving in the House. To say that he was unqualified is silly, es-

pecially taking into account one reporter’s characterization of his effectiveness in the house, “…when he takes the floor, Garfield’s voice is heard above all others.” Pawlenty should realize the attacks on conservative females’ credentials don’t work with conservatives, especially given his less-than enthusiastic poll numbers. And, like Garfield, Bachmann’s voice is heard above liberals’. The attacks on Bachmann’s ability to serve as president are

not only groundless, but they’re also ineffective. Both liberals and Republicans like Pawlenty would do well to learn from conservative women like her.

shot in the head, and one was bound. Prior to the July 21 indictment, Gathers was released by a grand jury due to a “lack of physical evidence” in September 2009. “I am unable to say what new evidence we have. But there was new evidence that came to light and [was] brought to the grand jury,” Lalonde said. Gathers and two other Baton Rouge men — Devin Parker and Michael Lewis — were arrested and booked on May 22, 2008. Parker was indicted four months later. On June 27, Parker plead guilty

of our team, and we’re behind him.” Jefferson ranked last in the conference among starting quarterbacks with 108.5 pass yards per game and 96th in the nation with 143.15 total yards per game. But Jefferson said he’s hoping the new season will bring a clean slate as he prepares for his last goround in purple and gold. “[The criticism] hurts a little bit, but I’m doing a lot to change the perception of people’s opinions,” said Jefferson, whose 20-7 record leaves him just eight wins away from the most in school history by a quarterback. “I’m buying more into the system, becoming more of a leader and focusing on playing [consistently]. I’m doing a lot of things that I wasn’t prepared to do last year.” And Jefferson may be headed in the right direction. The rising senior began turning heads this summer at the Manning Passing Academy, receiving praise from ESPN NFL analyst Chris Mortensen and NFL Network analyst Charles Davis. Both hyped

DAIRY STORE, from page 1 teaching. Our products are products of our students’ learning.” In addition to running a USDAinspected plant and state-inspected meat processing facility, the Dairy Store sells “the cleanest and most safe high-quality milk in the state,” according to Hay. Products sold at the Dairy Store include shakes, sundaes, ﬂavored coffees, sodas, cheese, sausage, beef, lamb, pork and goat cuts, among others. “Our hamburger is sold a lot. It’s very good quality,” Hay said. Hay says employees use ice cream mixes made on campus. “Stores like Baskin-Robbins use mixes that are pre-made and shipped to each location. We do not buy commercial mixes; the mixes we use for each ﬂavor [are] produced in our creamery,” he said. The Dairy Store uses local ingredients, buying coffee beans and grounds from River Road Coffees. Students rave about the Dairy Store. When asked if she had ever visited the Dairy Store, Molly McGehee, psychology sophomore, said, “Who hasn’t?” Simone Guidry, civil engineering sophomore, said she can’t resist ice cream from the Dairy Store. “Besides ice cream, I always knew they sold meat products and such, and I’ve always wanted to try some. I think it’s neat how they

to armed robbery and accessory to second-degree murder, Lalonde said. He is scheduled to be sentenced September 27, Lalonde said. Lewis is currently incarcerated in an East Baton Rouge Parish jail for the February death of 14-yearold Christopher Williams, according to The Advocate. He is additionally charged with two counts of second-degree murder for the double homicide, Lalonde said. “This is still an active investigation,” Lalonde said. Contact Katlin Torke at ktorke@lsureveille.com Jefferson as one of the most impressive performers at the three-day camp. “The Manning Academy is just a piece of what I’m expecting this year,” Jefferson said. “I expect for myself to have a great year. The Manning Camp just shows that I can compete with the top guys in the country.” Jefferson credits the addition of new offensive coordinator Steve Kragthorpe for his quick development this summer. “Coach Kragthorpe has deﬁnitely made a difference,” he said. “In the short amount of time that I’ve been with him, I feel like I’ve improved a lot. This year will be an exciting year for us because he’s going to do the best he can to expose my talents and help this offense become great.” LSU reports to fall camp August 3 — exactly one month before its opening week showdown with Oregon in Arlington. Contact Mark Clements at mclements@lsureveille.com produce all of those items here on campus,” Guidry said. Austin Matthews, mass communication sophomore, thinks student-run businesses are essential to the success of the University. “Agriculture is an economic foundation in Louisiana and many states. Things like the Dairy Store are what make agriculture students successful,” he said. “I’d totally buy non-ice cream goods, but [the Dairy Store is] hard to get to because of the Easy Streets.” The Dairy Store is minimally affected by budget cuts. “We’ve had to let go of two or three full-time employees,” Hay said. “But on the other hand, we’ve had to rely on more student employees. Our biggest problem [resulting from the budget cuts] is a lack of labor.” Hay said the staff plans to soon introduce new ﬂavors of cheese, bottle milk in pint and half-gallon sizes and expand meat product selection. LSU is one of eight universities, including Mississippi State University and Pennsylvania State University, to feature an on-campus dairy store. The Dairy Store is located on the south end of the Dairy Science building. Contact Kaitlin Torke at ktorke@lsureveille.com
